The gray army, the big tent of the Chinese army, and the high-level generals are all listed.

“...... According to the information from the secret agency, this time the barbarian offensive was fierce, and the Bran front was frequently urgent, and the shape was not optimistic. It is also because of this that now our army encounters little resistance when attacking fortifications. It's just that the problem now is that we don't have cavalry, so as long as the team advances in the field, it will be constantly attacked by the archers sent by the opponent...... Although the purple-bore cannon can repel the opponent, it is not a long-term solution. And a small squad of archers in exchange for a few of our Exploding Crystals, which is not cost-effective. Of course, that's not the main problem we're facing right now......"

"Wait, there's something about our logistics department, I'm going to talk about it...... Chief, there are not many exploding crystals left in the arsenal. This thing belongs to the official prohibited items of Bran, and it cannot be purchased in the market at all, and the black market merchants who have inventory have left long before the city is broken, and the occasional discovery is also a drop in the bucket, which is completely unable to withstand the consumption rate. That's why I've built a limited supply of explosive crystals, which can only be used in fortified towns, otherwise our purple-chested cannon will be reduced to a pile of scrap iron lumps. ”

"What! Limited supply? What are you kidding Fei Rui! Our department is cleaning the war zone on the periphery, and there are no exploding crystals, what do you want us to do with those four-legged crumbs who keep coming to harass? No! Absolutely not!"

"Not bad. Either you can find us war horses to form cavalry, or you will continue to supply explosive crystals, this matter is not negotiable......"

"Don't get excited, generals. I'm just talking about the facts, and I don't mean anything about you...... Well, anyway, the explosion crystal can't continue to be supplied unconditionally now, as for the war horse...... You see there's something in our logistics department that has four legs. It's all gone. ”

"What the hell do you mean by this iron......"

"It's not your people who dare to lose......"

"Your logistics department has nothing but tables, chairs, and benches. What else has four legs? You might as well ride one for me......

......

The sound of slapping the table, accusing, scolding and cursing...... Moment. The big tent of the Chinese army was in chaos, and more than a dozen generals in armor were angry and denounced again and again. The young man who was the target of the denunciation, that is, Fei Rui, who had a few freckles on his face, seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of mobbing scene. The old god sat there, picked up the teacup, blew the hot air, and turned a deaf ear.

"Quiet!" he snapped. Josia, who was sitting in the first place, frowned slightly, and swept around with a smile, instantly suppressing the more than ten angry generals. Then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged officer who had reported earlier, and nodded: "Go on." ”

"Yes...... The most important question we are now facing is where the army should go next? If we continue to penetrate deep into the northern hinterland according to our original plan, we will inevitably lay down the Sharon official road, which is not far from the forward front, that is, one of the important military arteries connecting Bran's northern border with the front line...... It should be clear to everyone that in the current situation of the previous line, Bran will not allow us to occupy this military route. ”

"Humph!" snorted coldly. A burly general pouted disdainfully when he heard this, "Now Bran will let us be the same." ”

The middle-aged officer spread his hands helplessly: "You know. I didn't mean that. Now the situation is different, and public opinion in the world is becoming more and more unfavorable to us......"

The situation is indeed different, in the past, the gray army adhered to the principle of seeking benefits for the common people, and rose up to resist the oppression of the Bran aristocracy, which can be said to be famous and upright, and thus won the welcome of the majority of Bran people, ensuring the stability of the occupied territory. But now that they are intruding by a foreign enemy, it would be a different story if they were to occupy the Bran military artery at this time.

It's very simple logic - everybody's a Bran, anyway. It's like two brothers who have a conflict, even if they don't like each other, the family connection of blood dissolving in water is always there, and they can't help outsiders bully their brothers no matter what, right?

Of course, the people in gray are dismissive of this statement. No matter what their own family, the Bran nobles don't treat them as human beings, and they want to kill them in every possible way. Why should they stick their hot faces to their cold butts and recognize this wolf-hearted 'brother'!

However, this statement is now very popular, and it is undeniable that there must be a shadow of Bran's official behind this, but it is also an indisputable fact that this has indeed been recognized by many people. Even now, in the towns and cities where the army passes, there are already so-called 'compassionate and compassionate' people who persuade them to put aside their prejudices and chant slogans of unanimity......

Just as believers are the foundation of the Temple of Light, civilians are also an important cornerstone of the Grey Army's success. Once this cornerstone cracks or even collapses, the Grey Army will become a rootless tree and a source of water, and it will be difficult to recruit troops, let alone overthrow the Bran aristocracy.

So, as fucked up as it feels, they now have to sit here patiently and take it seriously.

Enter, completely tear the skin with Bran, and the cornerstone is shaken.

Retreat, don't think about it, that's absolutely impossible!

What should I do if it's not suitable for advancing or retreating?

......

"I'm to blame for this. In the silence, Frey, who was sitting on Josia's left side, looked a little gloomy and sighed, "I was careless, and I didn't take this military artery into account when I made the battle plan before. This has led us to the embarrassing dilemma we are now in. ”

"That's not right!" Fei Rui simply shook his head in denial, "The battle plan was formulated by us in the 100,000 mountains, and at that time, the barbarians had not yet attacked the front line, and we had not received any information about this matter, so how could we blame you?"

"Yes, General Frey, you think too much, and we are all to blame. Josia nodded, soothing. A group of high-level generals next to him also expressed their condolences. It's just that Frey himself still shook his head with a wry smile and was silent.

His family knew his own affairs, and after becoming a brigabot, Frey became more aware that his strategic vision was ultimately insufficient. Aside from the rest, let's take this Sharon military artery as an example. Because of the secret agency, the information of the large-scale invasion of the Northern Barbarians was almost known to the Grey Army together with the Bran royal court. If he can notice this sensitive road at that time, he can decisively adjust the direction of the main attack, whether it is to avoid it. Or be one step ahead of the news of the barbarian invasion. Seize the next major road. create established facts. The impact of this will be much smaller......

But he didn't notice it at that time, and only when the army advanced to this point, did he find that there was a big pit in front of him that stretched for thousands of miles! If not, the overall strategy will inevitably need to be adjusted. In this way, not to mention the chaos caused by the army, the previous series of deployments will also be nullified. It's just -- it can't be pitted anymore!

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull again, the middle-aged officer who had reported earlier hesitated. "There is news from Bran's side that the negotiating team from the capital is in the nearest town, and suggests that if we are willing to negotiate, they are willing to make the greatest concessions on any side......"

"Let the special mother be a ball!" A hot-tempered general couldn't take it anymore, interrupted rudely, glared at the bull's eye and shouted angrily, "Joke! We want them to go to the capital now, aren't they all ours?"

The words are not rough, and the gray-clothed army is now in good shape. With the initiative in hand, why do you need Bran to put the icing on the cake? The tragic consequences of the previous cooperation are still fresh in their minds, and even if it is for the revenge of Losha, they will not be able to negotiate peace with Bran.

It was discussed for a while that there would be no peace talks with Bran, and this was clear. However, as for whether to occupy the military artery in front of them, they were divided into three factions.

The generals in military uniforms have a very unanimous opinion, that is, since the meat has been delivered to their mouths, it is natural to eat it.

Most of the civilian high-ranking members of the Gray Coats disagree, they don't know much about the military, but they are very concerned about the reaction of the people. It is precisely by this that they started their business, and they understand the truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat.

There are also leaders with decisive opinions, such as Josia and Frey, who are all silent, but if they speak, then the matter is basically settled. Oh, and this doesn't include the equally silent Firay, and I don't know if it's none of my business, or if I'm thinking about something, this guy who Don calls a smart man, holds a teacup and has a thoughtful look on his face......

Immediately, when a group of high-ranking civil and military officials of the gray-clothed army slapped the table and glared, and almost made an appointment to go it alone, Josia spoke.

knocked on the table, the sound was not loud, but it made the scene that was as lively as a market just now instantly quieted down. Looking around, the reactionary aristocratic lady of the past now has a breathtaking prestige.

"I have decided that the original strategic battle plan will remain unchanged. ”

The original plan of the "Leader ......" remained unchanged, that is, to agree to fight over and occupy this military artery called Sharon. A high-ranking officer of the gray-clothed army was immediately anxious when he heard this, and opened his mouth to say something. saw Josia waving his hand: "Let me say it, I know what you want to say." The good reputation of the Gray Clothes Army was accumulated by sacrificing the lives of countless Gray Army soldiers and people, and it took more than 100 years before and after. It's hard to come by, and you should cherish it!"

"But this is nothing compared to our original purpose of coming out of the 100,000 Mountains this time, overturning this Bran Empire that has rotted to the bones!"

"To be honest, although we came out this time under the banner of revenge, and we have been breaking through all the way, I have always felt that I am not very happy to do things, and I am limited everywhere, my own limitations. It's like walking with a precious porcelain, that is, you want to be praised by passers-by, but you are afraid of bumping into the porcelain. Therefore, when we advertise, we only talk about how much we have been wronged and want revenge, but we do not talk about our real intention of overthrowing the Bran Empire and rebuilding a new country. What are we afraid of? We are afraid that the people of Bran will not support us, thinking that we are doing this for our own selfish purposes, and we want to usurp power. ”

After a pause, Josia took a deep breath, "It's not right, it's also cheating. We are deceiving those people, and we are deceiving ourselves. ”

The high-ranking generals were silent when they heard this, and this is the case, and the current issue is, on the surface, a question of whether to occupy a military artery, but in fact it is not. They knew very well that the Grey Army and Bran were now cut in two, and it would not be too much to say that they were two hostile countries. And since this is the case, of course, they don't need to care about the life or death of the other country, and they will occupy this military artery if they want to. But the reality is that they do not dare to say anything about it, and they are afraid that if it is revealed, the people of Bran, who had welcomed them with support yesterday, will look at them with the same hatred as they look at barbarians......

"I don't know how you guys feel, but I don't like it, like a thief. Josia said to herself, "So, I decided to call this time. Occupy this military artery. And then announced to the whole world. We are the new Grey Army. We have nothing to do with the rotten Bran Empire. The Bran soldiers are coming, and we will fight. When the Northern Barbarians come, we will fight too, but it has nothing to do with the unanimous external affairs, just because they have intruded into our territory!"

Bang, slapping the table up, the hot-tempered general just now said excitedly: "Damn, that's the reason! No wonder I always feel uncomfortable." Or is it the clear way that the leader said it...... Uh, hug, sorry, chief, look at my mouth! I'm really not swearing at you, I ......"

"Haha......" In the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere that was a little solemn and calm just now because of Josia's words was instantly destroyed by the stammering and apologizing general.

Josia waved his hand disapprovingly and continued: "From now on, we must show our banner. Fight only for yourself. As for the reaction of the people of Bran, we welcome it if they continue to support it. If they are strongly opposed, we will not be embarrassed, and we will arrange for them to go to the Bran Empire after the war...... Of course, if there was still the Bran Empire then. ”

"Haha, I love to hear that!

"Domineering!"

"Leader ...... Mighty"

Most of the people sitting here were the big guys who had fallen down, not the members of the Imperial Parliament of Bran. So as long as the atmosphere eases, followed by the rhythm of Yan zhòng's deviation, it is very joyful.

In the applause, Fei Rui clapped his palms in agreement, got up and said with a smile: "Since they are two hostile countries, there is nothing to say. Didn't Bran, on the other hand, be uneasy and kind, and want to see us laugh? Why don't we spread the word that Bran's army has taken the initiative to provoke us, and then we will naturally occupy this military route?"

"Uh......" Josia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then quickly thought about the gains and losses, and found that it was all good for them and no harm for them. And it doesn't conflict with her plans, which happens to be a good addition...... Well, it's just that the method is a little bit bad.

"Hey, that's a good idea. Not only has the reputation been gained, but the military arteries have not been left behind, which is the reason why the division is famous. Although Josia's words had opened everyone's hearts, the civilian high-level officials who had been meeting for a while still did not want to completely lose their reputation, and now they were happy to approve of Fei Rui's idea of killing two birds with one stone.

The generals of the various armies have no opinion on this, but they don't think so complicated, they just think that this can not only occupy the military artery, but also anger the other party, which is a great wonder.

Frey patted Fei Rui's thin shoulder, with a serious face: "Let's discuss, don't work in the logistics department, that's where men should be." It's better to transfer to the combat team, believe me, you have the potential to become a cunning fox on the battlefield!"

"Hehe......" Fei Rui laughed and didn't say anything, what kind of joke, with his small physique and body, he was transferred to the combat team, whether he could become a battlefield cunning fox is hard to say, but the dead fox should be appropriate.

Frey was just joking, and seeing that Fei Rui didn't react and didn't care, he continued to smile and asked, "Since the idea is out, then solve the rest of the problems by the way." Where is the Bran army that came to provoke...... Uh, you're not trying to make our soldiers pretend, are you?"

"How can that, the sword has no eyes. Fei Rui's eyes flashed with light, and he waved his hand and said quickly, "I've thought about it, it's not a military route." Now that the Bran front line is so tight, there must be a lot of material teams passing through here and transporting them to the front. This is the 'Bran army that has come to provoke', and we will not only occupy the military artery, but also make a lot of money by taking it with us. Haha, what do you think of the idea...... Why don't you speak, can you give an opinion......"

It's not just that Frey can't speak, in fact, when Fei Rui revealed this plan and inventory, the Chinese army's tent was already silent. Everyone was stunned to see this guy who mentioned making a big profit, and even his eyes were radiating the light of gold coins, and they were completely speechless.

After a pause, Frey shook his head speechlessly: "I was wrong, you are not a cunning fox on the battlefield, you are an eternal iron rooster." It's better to stay honestly in the logistics department and give full play to your talents, the combat team really can't tolerate you as a god!"

"Uh......"

"Haha......"

......

Needless to say, if the problem belonging to the Grey Army is solved, then the trouble will come to Bran's side.

I have to say that Bran has really been unfavorable in the past few years, and there have been many disasters and difficulties! One is outside, the other is inside, there is no connection between the two, but now they are doing the same thing very tacitly, that is, constantly shaking and destroying the foundation of this behemoth.

Time, what an interesting thing.

The Bran Empire, the king of the continent of Xize for hundreds of years. With the accumulation of years, it has flourished and taken deep roots. But it is precisely because of these lapses of time that it has also become more like a broken ship, riddled with holes and crumbling.

Also, ask for a recommendation ticket. There are basically no regrets about this book until now, but the number of recommended votes is really a bit shabby.

Well, the principle is that one and two are not too little, and ten and eight are not too much, ha......^-^) (to be continued......)
