Chapter Seventy-Six: Plan Implementation
The time quickly came two days later, and in the past two days, they were basically preparing for the plan, and at the same time, Ye Junwen also began to refine his plan according to the new news he received now. The previous military meeting had only put forward a general direction, and he was not very sure. And now with the improvement of information, Ye Junwen feels that there should be no problem with his plan, this is mainly because the investigation on his side is so poor, can the investigation on the other side be any better? The fact is that the two sides are indeed half-hearted, and this backward reconnaissance system makes most of the situation on the battlefield still depend on guessing, and now it seems that it is quite beneficial to Ye Junwen.
The day after their military meeting, several people came to the barracks. The nine people in this group are all mages, all from the Ancient Dragon Academy, but only one of them is a regular mage who has graduated, and the other eight are still ungraduated apprentices from the academy. These people are naturally the "support" that Ron said before.
Ron must have contacted the academy about the situation, but the academy should have reservations, and they also wanted to change the current status quo, but they only sent a team of people over on an experimental basis. Ron also wrote a letter to explain to the god of water, of course, the god of water can't say anything, this mage is regarded by others as a kind of relationship that is not all other people, they themselves are also very autistic, and they are also very arrogant, which is also part of the reason.
In short, these people can still help a little now, especially now that they need their help in the preparations, so the water god will soon arrange it. Of course, the water god also set up a special department for them, a special establishment separate from the other soldiers of the army, which can be regarded as the prototype of the mage regiment.
So the preparations were in full swing, and soon, the water god also brought good news, that is, General Hegar of the First Legion was willing to cooperate with them. Of course, this is also a very important part, before the water god said that he had a good relationship with General Hegar, now it seems that it is not just good.
All the preparatory work was completed, so it was soon the night to carry out the plan, and Ye Junwen also found Selena.
According to the previous plan, Selena should have to leave the barracks at this time, because they are going to go on the expedition next, of course, the battlefield is very dangerous, it is difficult to ensure Selena's safety, this time Ye Junwen came to let the other party go back first.
"No, I'm not done yet." Selena said, of course, referring to Beverly's matter, although she really wanted to talk to Beverly, but she really couldn't find any opportunity, the other party was a senior general in the legion, and she had been busy preparing plans for the past few days, so there was really no chance to talk, and even Ye Junwen hadn't seen her a few times, let alone Selena.
"I'll talk to her about it." Ye Junwen also knows what it is, Selena has already talked to Ye Junwen before, about letting the other party first propose to regret the marriage, of course Ye Junwen will not object, he still needs this identity now. As for Beverly, although he didn't know why he helped himself in the previous meeting, he didn't know much about this woman, and of course he didn't have any special feelings.
In Ye Junwen's opinion, Selena talking to her and talking to him should be about the same situation, and she is going to act with the other party later, and there will definitely be a chance to talk at that time, but Selena obviously doesn't think so.
"No, I have to talk about it." "It started with my father, so I had to talk to her personally. ”
Because the former city lord Clovis had to hide his gender before the engagement, Selena felt that sincerity was necessary to convince the other party, so she felt that she had to tell her in person. So despite the opposition of Rosen, Ted and others, she decided to stay and act with Ye Junwen and them.
Ye Junwen felt that since the other party insisted, it would be like this. At present, there are still 571 descendants left by the former city lord Clovis, and there were originally 1,300 troops, but the rest of the dead and wounded, and half of the remaining people are not left, but this is indeed a relatively elite force, Ye Junwen seems that this force is even more elite than the soldiers of the standing army of the empire, it seems that the city lord of Clovis is really a little expected, and he is indeed talented in military affairs. These 571 people are now also their own descendants, of course, they are still somewhat useful, at least it is much better than not bringing a single soldier with them.
By the way, this unit was the only conscription unit of the 2nd Corps. The forces of the empire are divided into two types, one is the imperial standing army, that is, the troops raised by the empire, mainly the troops of the five major legions. The other is the conscription, that is, the troops of those nobles who have fiefdoms, and when they fight, they also have to bring their troops to the front.
Now all the levy troops of the empire are on the side of the First Legion, after all, that is the main battlefield, and the second legion is only the standing force of the Second Legion. Ye Junwen didn't know what was going on with this messy system, in his opinion, only the standing army was needed, and mixing other troops would not make it more difficult to command, but the military system here was obviously not so scientific, most of the battles, more people were king, anyway, no matter what kind of soldiers, just be able to stand on the field.
In short, this evening, all preparations were in place, and the battle officially began. At this time, all the troops had already set off one after another, and the entire fortress was quiet, and on the hillside not far from the fortress, Ye Junwen and the water god and others also appeared here.
"Once activated, there's no going back." The water god looked at the crystal in his hand and couldn't help but say something, indicating that he still didn't have confidence in listening until now, for fear of an accident.
"What the hell is going to do here?" Selena next to her asked Ye Junwen in a low voice, only senior officers knew about the whole plan, and no one else knew what the situation was, of course Selena didn't know Ye Junwen's plan, so she asked a little curiously.
"Let's get started." Ye Junwen directly patted the shoulder of the water god in front of him, then turned back to Selena and said with a smile: "Tell you, I'm crazy, and I even blew up my own fortress." ”
As soon as Ye Junwen finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" from the fortress behind him, and then a huge flame ignited directly from the top of the fortress, quickly igniting the entire fortress with an extremely exaggerated spreading speed, instantly turning the fortress into a huge furnace.
Everyone was stunned, not only Selena and the others, but even the soldiers next to them looked at the situation in front of them with a confused expression. This Neshin Fortress is a front-line fortress that their empire has been operating for a long time, and it suddenly blew up, or it was blown up by itself, what kind of trouble is this.
"Let's go." Without waiting for these people to figure it out, the water god waved his hand and said. This first arrow has been shot, and there is no way to go back and think about anything else, and at present, I can only hope that the tactics will succeed, otherwise it will be really difficult to explain.
At the same time, to the north of here, where the Fourth Legion of the Masodra Empire was stationed, a soldier nervously rushed into the room of the corps commander Mites: "Report, Legion Chief, urgent military situation." ”
"What?" Mitters, of course, did not rest, and immediately turned around and asked.
"Legion Commander, please take a look outside." The soldier pointed directly to the south and said.
Mites was a little strange, but walked out anyway, only to see a fire as soon as he walked out the door. Yes, on this night, a little fire was evident in the distance, and of course he could still see it.
"That's ...... Nehind Fortress? Mitters was slightly stunned, and took a closer look at the location of the Neshin Fortress, but what was going on?
"When did it start catching fire?" Mites immediately asked.
"It was about a few minutes ago, and it got so big all of a sudden." The soldier replied.
"I see, I see." Mitters thought about it, and then immediately thought about what was going on. If it was a fire, it would not have been like this in a few minutes, so it was obvious that someone had deliberately set the fire. But he didn't send anyone himself, the only possibility was that he lit a fire on the other side.
Then why did the other side light a fire, this Mites also immediately understood, because the other party wanted to give up this fortress. The troops on the opposite side are leaving, and this fortress, of course, can't be left like this, the location of this fortress is too critical, once it is occupied by itself, the other party will have no way to retreat, and there are a lot of materials in the fortress, they will definitely not be able to take it all, the only way is to burn it.
So why go, it's even simpler, the only possibility for the other side to leave here is to go to the west in the Tedemalla region to support their First Legion. According to the previous battle report, at present they have a great advantage in the frontal battlefield, and the troops on the opposite side are to support the frontal battlefield, and now it seems that they have received an order to support and must go to the frontal battlefield, so the whole army is dispatched and burns the fortress by the way.
"I'm really willing to make this decision." Mitters nodded, the general on the opposite side was able to resolutely burn down the fortress that had been in operation for many years, but unfortunately he was still younger, so he didn't tell himself that they had already set off, otherwise he might need a little time to notice.
"Notify the whole army, assemble immediately, and prepare to intercept it." Mitters immediately ordered.
"Yes." The soldier next to him nodded.
"Master Master...... It's really interesting. Mitters looked in the direction of the flames and smiled slightly, a look of contempt.
