Chapter 568: Internal and external troubles
months later.
These months have been quite difficult for the combined army of Persia and Franc, which has been at the forefront.
After that batch of supplies was reduced to ashes in the sea of fire, although the Persian players prepared the second batch of supplies as quickly as possible, it obviously took a certain amount of time to prepare.
Not to mention, because of the large loss of transport trucks, the transportation efficiency has also been significantly affected.
The most important thing is that this time the material transportation task has also been changed to a new transportation route, which has reduced the transportation efficiency by another level.
It will take at least two months longer than usual.
In short, before this batch of supplies arrives, the front line is about to start cutting the daily food ration for each soldier.
It is also because of this that the morale of the entire combined army began to decline uncontrollably, and at the same time, when it could only eat half full every day, even its combat effectiveness was affected.
After several battles, the combined forces of Persia and Francois were defeated one after another, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the entire front was pushed by the orc army of Veylon Gale on the opposite side for more than 500 miles in just one month!
The Giant Rhinoceros directly smashed through their trench defenses and wreaked havoc in their frontline camps, and they were helpless.
At this moment, the united army can be said to be internal and external.
At the same time, with the continuous consumption of food at the front, the food reserves became smaller and smaller, so that the officers of the Persian army had to start further reducing the daily food supply of each soldier below.
This situation made a group of Persian soldiers complain.
Originally, I could only eat half full every day, but if I cut it down, I would really starve to death!
Later, the Persian soldiers became more dissatisfied because of a number of problems.
One of the biggest grievances came from the Francophone army next door.
In fact, the reason is very simple, they themselves are hungry all day long, and they will soon run out of food to eat, so why should they distribute so much food to the soldiers of Franc Ji?
At such a time, shouldn't it be a priority to feed others?
Although Francois is an ally, it is not Persia after all.
Soon, similar statements spread throughout the Persian military camp, and were also endorsed by most of the soldiers.
Such a situation can be said to have made the supreme commander of this army anxious.
As a general entrusted with important tasks by the Emperor, could he be more stupid than those soldiers?
It was a bad idea to cut off food support for the Franc machine and feed their Persian soldiers.
If he really did this, then the entire front-line coalition army would definitely collapse in minutes, and it would all depend on the Franco-Rang army they had received to evacuate the front line directly.
When the time comes, let them go and fight the orc army on the opposite side by themselves?
In the previous months, he didn't fail to see how fierce the attack of the opposing orc army was.
Moreover, according to the news sent from the rear, the supplies are already on the way, and in this situation, saving food and leveling a bowl of water is the safest way.
As for the land on this front, let it go.
In the current situation, it is not necessarily a bad thing to let the army retreat.
On the frontline battlefield in the northwest, the combined forces of Persia and Franc were defeated in the face of a strong counterattack by Willon Gale.
Nearly a quarter of the territory outside the territory that was previously occupied fell in an instant, but this is not the final figure.
Due to the lack of supplies, the combined army, which is difficult to compete with the orc army, continues to retreat.
According to the idea of the supreme commander of the Persian army, he planned to withdraw directly to his own borders and fight a wave of defensive battles with the help of defensive fortresses in the territory to see if he could regroup.
In this regard, the orc army of Velen Gale naturally would not be polite to them, and directly launched the special policy of "all people are soldiers" of the orc civilization.
This is one of the special projects of the orc civilization, simply put, the orc civilians who are urgently recruited, after the army, even if they are not trained, will get a good combat power bonus.
The militia of the orc race is much stronger than the militia of other races!
And as the king of the orcs, Velen Gale went to the front line with his gold-level buff skills, carrying the army of orcs he had gathered, and marching all the way to the counterattack.
Seeing that the situation is about to be reversed, even the morale of the orc army has begun to rise, and the combat effectiveness of each orc soldier has been significantly improved, and there is a trend of becoming more and more courageous the more they fight.
And in the palace of the Persian capital, the recent news that has come back one after another has made the mood of Persian players suddenly worse.
The fall of the territory outside the borders is only a minor issue.
The point is, once the orc army reaches his border fortress, the situation will be terrible.
In the face of Willon Gale's giant rhinoceros beast, the defensive structures he built were not as good as they should be.
Fortunately in the field, the value of the giant rhinoceros must at least be discounted, but once it evolves into a siege war, the existence of the giant rhinoceros is too terrifying.
Even the strongest defensive structure of this era could not withstand a few blows in the face of the crazy collision of the giant rhinoceros beast.
At that time, if the giant rhinoceros beast on the opposite side directly rushed, he would have no way to deal with it.
Because of this problem, he has called his military ministers over more than once to discuss matters.
Their latest cannon in China combined with armor-piercing shells can indeed cause damage to the giant rhinoceros to a certain extent, but the problem is that the damage is limited.
In fact, more than a hundred armor-piercing bullets hitting the giant rhinoceros may not be able to kill the monster, not to mention, it is not easy to hit.
After all, the other party is alive and can move.
How could they stand still, stupidly waiting to be targeted?
Persian players have to admit that although the technological development of the orc civilization is low, the many giant beast units of the orc clan can make hostile players feel puzzled to a large extent.
Moreover, I don't know if Alken Kingo, on the other side, has been supporting Velen Gayle, and the equipment of the orc troops on the other side is no worse than his army, and the combat effectiveness is simply fierce and terrifying.
In addition, in the recent period, the problem of domestic food burden has also started to give him a headache.
Although it is not enough for him to break out of the food crisis, but recently life has become a little tight.
All in all, this is not a good sign.
This situation has also made him frequently contact the Franc machine players recently, hoping that the other party can quickly restore the supply line, and at the same time pay back the food owed to him plus interest!
In this regard, even if he has been in a bad mood recently, the Franc machine player can only explain it patiently and slowly.
Because during this time, the two foreign players have been dealing with the damn Europa Combined Fleet in the outer seas.
This state has been going on for a long time, and the Europa Combined Fleet on the opposite side clearly wants to drag them down.
You must know that under the premise of not having a stable supply line and transit point, the manpower and material resources required to support a huge combined fleet conducting operations at sea across the mainland can be imagined.
At the same time, the Huaxia player (Xia Qi) also made it clear that they were forbidden to break into the other party's territorial waters.
This request is understandable, but the problem is that the extent of Bactria's territorial waters largely covers the necessary route to the northern battlefield.
If Xia Qi didn't let him go, then they could only choose to take a detour.
This greatly increases the distance and time of transportation.
And in the last few months, the small fleet that has separated from the Europa Combined Fleet seems to have started the idea of their supply ships.
In this regard, Franc machine players and Sakura players are naturally unwilling to be beaten obediently.
They wanted to return the color, but they couldn't find any trace of Europa's supply fleet.
However, how did they know that on the side of Europa's supply fleet, Xia Qi directly opened a back door for them, and the other party's grain transportation route happened to be in the sea area where the foreign combined fleet could not enter.
If this naval battle located in the waters of the central continent is compared to a game, then Xia Qi is an unscrupulous referee who blows the black whistle crazily.
The purpose of letting him blow the black whistle is not to let the Europa side win, but to want them to die together.
Therefore, Xia Qi is now in a state of balancing the strength of both sides.
After all, judging from the current situation, the strength of foreign players on his central continent is still stronger than that of the Europa side.
On the Europa side, Willon Gale and Arken Kingo, because of the early years of fighting, are now basically overdrawn national forces.
On the side of foreign players, although they have been suffering recently, they have actually been still having spare energy, and the domestic development is also quite stable.
And this is also the main reason why Xia Qi has been busy pit foreign players in the past few years.
When the foreign player is almost cheated by him, and the two sides are evenly matched, then his goal will be achieved.
-------------------------------------
The Persian player who ended the call turned black, he originally wanted to find the Franc player to collect the debt, but he was cried miserably by the other side.
Instead, he contacted the HRE players on the same continent.
If the HRE player's army on the other side can put pressure on the other side of Velongael's other border, then the offensive of the orc army on this side will be somewhat restrained.
However, the reply given by the HRE player disappointed him.
The massive landing of the Europa Coalition forces forced HRE players to concentrate their main forces on the northern borders of their empires, and at this time, his northern frontier was in full swing.
As for the south, for the sake of safety, he had already switched from offensive to defensive.
This situation can't help but make the Persian players feel even worse.
In the past two years, he felt that everything was simply not going well, and no matter what he did, he was prone to bad things.
It seems that the battle here can only rely on himself.
However, when I thought that I still had to help raise tens of thousands of Franc machine troops in this state, I instantly felt extremely tired.
Look at the rise from the tribes.
