Finding out that it was broken through by the demon army, Commander Cutler was shocked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he immediately ordered the formation of a 300,000 army, followed by the demon army to pursue. Commander Cutler did not dare to divide his troops too much. After all, the Dawn City defense line is still intact, and it is not known if the demons have follow-up troops. As long as you can tighten this opening, it will be 1.7 million that will pass through here.

But on the other hand, the 300,000 pursuing regiments did not dare to chase too closely, and the difference in strength and strength was too great, that is, it played a little harassing role. In this way, the movement of that demon army became very free. Then they split into two, one of which went straight to the holy city of Yada, and immediately attracted all the surrounding human coalition forces.

This demon army was very fast, and after feinting the holy city of Yada, it once again pounced on the imperial capital of St. Louis. Moreover, the demons did not attack the cities along the way at all, it seemed that the black tiger was digging out its heart and directly taking the key points of the Verona Empire. As a result, even the reserve legions of the human alliance had to move, they almost gave up the transfer of the two northern military regions, and marched towards the imperial capital, uniting with the city defense corps of the imperial capital to prepare for the defense of St. Louis City. At the same time, large quantities of supplies were also delivered into St. Louis.

As you can imagine, this was another successful feint. After changing the line a few more times, this demon army actually passed through several legions pursued by the human alliance. Then all the way north, he pounced on the defense line of the Guana River in the Northern Military District. As a result, the Northern Military Region immediately fell into the front and rear attacks of the demons.

In this series of actions, the human coalition forces appear to be passive and embarrassed at every turn. But it's a little comforting, and on another "battlefield", I finally got a lot of gains. Such interspersed gaps inevitably aroused suspicion, from the beginning of the turmoil in the defense line of Dawn City, to the current carelessness, it is obvious that there are demon spies in the dark.

So the Second Imperial Division and the Inquisition began to act, dug up a lot of demon spies, and hunted down a large number of demons. And this time the success was nothing short of devastating. Many hidden demon spy networks have been wiped out, and many demon spies who are deep in the human hierarchy have been dug up. It can be said that except for the really hidden ones and some fish that slipped through the net, the spies of the demon clan can't play much of a role.

This is of course good news for the Empire and the Holy See. However, in addition to being happy, I can't help but have a lot of worries. This time, the demon clan was already desperate, and actually used so many spies who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the empire and the Holy See. Since such a big price has been paid, of course, the corresponding results must be reaped. Obviously, this time it is the demons who are in earnest, and the decisive battle of the war between humans and demons is about to break out. At this time, the Northern Military District of Marquis Lev suddenly became the focus......

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, let me introduce the arrangement of the Northern Military District. The adjutant of the Marquis Lev stood in front of the map and said to the officers attending the meeting, "The defense line of the Guana River has 720,000 troops. Half for the regular army and half for local militias. Originally, according to the arrangement of His Excellency the Marquis, our military region would only deal with the demons north of the Guana River, so it was a hierarchical defense arrangement. Behind the line of defense on the Guana River, there were two mobile corps of 200,000 men each. The next line of defense was the border line, mainly centered on the city of Viven, with a total of 610,000 troops. The regular army here is less than 100,000, and the rest are militia groups and newly formed new troops. In particular, the new army has little training and is very poorly equipped. ”

"And among the five northern counties, there are five divisions and sixteen regiments of the empire with a total of 150,000 troops. There are also seven regiments of the security forces of the counties. The four new divisions in the five counties should also be counted. However, the situation of these new divisions is even worse, all of them are newly recruited recruits, who have not received training at all, and the number of weapons and equipment is only a few percent. And all this is the entire family base of the current Northern Military Region. ”

"Your Excellency!" said one of the county guards to Marquis Lev, "is that all there is to it?

Marquis Lev's expression was serious: "There are more than one and a half million from Dawn City. And the demons behind the frontal front in the north, although I don't know the detailed number, must have exceeded two million. If you add the original ones, it's close to three million. ”

"Ah?" the room was shocked, "to face four or five million? How can you fight? Your Excellency, is there a general mobilization, and all the men of school age join the militia?"

Marquis Lev smiled slightly, he shook his head: "The general ****** can be issued, but it doesn't mean much for all the people to be soldiers." Again, the problem is that there are no weapons. The preparation is too hasty, and you can't fight the demons empty-handed. ”

"What then?"

Marquis Lev nodded to his adjutant, who continued: "Now we can only carry out the final plan. The rest of the areas were all abandoned, and the focus was on two fronts and one side. The Guana River defense line and the border defense line, including the border defense line of the former Red Lion Principality, blocked the flanking attack of the demons before and after. On one side is the area between the two lines of defense. For example, those two lines of defense are like city walls, and the troops are defending within the city walls and trying to hold off the demons. ”

"This ......?" Although most of the participants in the meeting were military officers, there were still some civilian officials, who did not know much about military affairs, "Your Excellency, do you only protect the place of the former Red Lion Principality, and you want to give up all the five northern counties?"

"This is the only way to do it!" the Marquis of Lev nodded in agreement, "the army is limited, and only the most important areas can be kept. ”

"That ...... always comes first to the Empire, right?" said another county guard. In any case, the five northern counties belonged to the Empire, and the area that Marquis Lev was now focusing on defending belonged to the Red Lion Principality. Therefore, these imperial civil officials could not accept it for a while.

Knowing that these civil officials were basically military laymen, Marquis Lev patiently explained: "First of all, it is a consideration of time. It's like soldiers coming to the city, and there is no time for large-scale mobilization and arrangement. Moreover, the Guana River defense line and the border defense line have a strong defense system, which is conducive to all-round defense. Actually, we are not trying to win. The disparity in forces is too great to be able to win. What we want is to keep the time as long as possible. For the demons in the north, there is only one word - block. And the demon clan that came from the south, as long as it was delayed long enough, and there was the obstruction of the Guana River, wait until the follow-up troops arrived, and under the siege, they would destroy him as much as possible. If this can be done, then the strategy of the human alliance will be completely alive in the future. (To be continued.) )
