Eighty-Seven, The Split of Light (5)
A group of rebel army's mobile sentry horses have been patrolling for half a night, and are about to go back to the camp to change shifts with the next group of sentry horses, and the peace of the night has made them a little lax, and just when they are close to the camp ten kilometers, the leader of the captain suddenly strangled the mount, waved his hand, and the hundred horsemen behind him hurriedly prepared for battle, all the fighting magic was ready, as long as the enemy appeared, they would be killed. One of the team members asked, "Captain, do you want to send a signal?" "No, let's take a look first." ”
One hundred horsemen waited for a few minutes and did not notice any movement, and began to search in this grove under the command of the captain, but still did not find anything, it seemed that the captain's feeling was wrong, and the captain saw that there was nothing to find and ordered the team to be closed and return to the camp.
It didn't take long for the second batch of sentry riders to appear in this grove again, with the safety of the first batch of sentry horses, this group of sentry horses didn't care too much, but when they entered the grove, suddenly, a group of black-clothed people killed from the shadows, the strength of this group of black-clothed men was extremely strong, the second group of sentry horses had fallen more than half of them before they understood what was going on, and even if they wanted to free up their hands to release the signal, they couldn't do it, just one minute, and the second group of sentry horses were all finished. In fact, the troops that can serve as the sentinels of hundreds of millions of troops are also elite troops, and their subordinates are definitely very hard, but no matter how hard their subordinates are, they can't compare to the group of black-clothed people in ambush, these people are special forces carefully trained by Zhang Zeshan, and they are super elites who are proficient in the five elements of the Yanhuang clan.
After clearing the sentry horse, a dozen magicians began to level the ground, and as soon as a few gravity magic spells came out, the ground had become as solid as iron, even if a heavy cannon mount could withstand it. After the ground is leveled, it is a cannon, five hundred self-propelled guns, plus three hundred magic cannons, a total of eight hundred magic cannons, although these magic cannons are made by Kaigula himself, the power is not as great as that produced by the Yanhuang clan, and the firing range is only fifteen kilometers, which is not as good as the thirty kilometers of the black-clothed Shura, but it is already the strongest magic cannon that Kaigula can produce, and the number is not very much, the quality of other magic cannons is a little worse, who makes the materials needed for the more powerful magic cannons more difficult to get?
Eight hundred magic cannons lined up, and the artillery commander began to give orders: "Direction, northeast, abscissa XXXXX, ordinate YYYYY, height seven or ten rapid fire, prepare, put." With his order, eight hundred magic cannons roared together, spewing out eight hundred fiery red rays of light, shooting towards the enemy camp twelve kilometers away, and in just seven seconds, the enemy camp had turned into a sea of fire, and then the second, third, and ten rounds of artillery fire turned the enemy camp into hell.
After ten rounds of artillery fire, the magic cannon troops began to retreat, the self-propelled magic cannon has put away the gun carriage, and disappeared into the night, and the magic cannon was included in the space ring, and the artillerymen jumped on their mounts, which were all flying mounts, and disappeared into the night sky. By the time the enemy's rapid reaction force arrived, nothing could be found.
The enemy general who led the troops could only cry without tears, and he was bombarded by artillery fire like this, and the losses reached millions of people, and the loss of materials was even greater, so to speak, just so suddenly, almost one-third of the logistics supply of his army was knocked out, and without supplies, what kind of battle would he fight?
There is not only one such night sneak attack, but almost every rebel army has been sneak attacked, Kaigula's temple army is really elusive, with the intelligence support of the liberation organization, with the secret cover of countless people, the rebel army has not even found a single hair of the temple army, but, just overnight, the loss of the rebel army reached more than 30 million, which is enough for the strength of a legion. This loss made all the rebels panic, for fear that the next sneak attack would fall on their heads.
Time passed day by day, the rebel army has approached the border of the Bright Empire, and the sneak attack of the temple army is becoming more and more terrifying, and sometimes, even during the day, they dare to sneak attack, which really makes the rebel army's life extremely sad. Just yesterday, a temple army actually attacked a small unit of the rebel army with a magic cannon in broad daylight, he was an air force, and he ambushed it more than ten kilometers away, and then, took out the magic cannon from the space ring, and attacked the rebel army with a cannon, although only three cannons were fired, the losses of the rebel army were not very many, but more than 2,000 people, but this was a fatal blow to the morale of the rebel army. In the face of such an elusive blow, in the face of such a blow that came and went without a trace, but with amazing power, no army could withstand it.
Ovant felt very depressed, the number of Kaigula's army is not much, this is for sure, because Nicholas has led the main force of the Temple Army to attack the Sun Empire and the Blazing Light Empire, but it is Kaigula's small army that has given his troops heavy casualties, so far, the troops have lost as many as 100 million people, and they have been attacked thousands of times, all of them are a fight and leave, absolutely not in love with war, so far, the rebel army has not even seen the shadow of the Temple Army, how can this kind of battle be fought?
We can't go on like this, now, there are already a large number of deserters in the rebel army, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that we have not yet reached the territory of the Empire of Light, and our troops are only afraid that they will lose three percent, and the battle is not fought like this, but how can we fight if we don't fight like this? In the face of an opponent hidden in the shadows, how can we fight? Owalt felt that it was necessary to force Kaigula out, and only by forcing Kaigula out of a face-to-face decisive battle could Kaigula be defeated, but what should be done to force Kaigula out? But he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
At the military meeting, a group of generals put forward various opinions, some of which proposed to directly send elite troops to attack the Bright Holy Mountain, and some proposed to arrest some pro-Kaigula people, if Kaigula did not come out, they would be killed, there are many ways, but it is not very reliable.
A direct attack on the Bright Sacred Mountain is really easy to say, an elite army penetrates deep into the enemy's deep area thousands of miles away, without any logistical supplies, and without the local people to support, how can it pose a threat to the Bright Sacred Mountain? Moreover, the 30 million temple guards are not eating in vain, and if there are more people going, it will only be tiring, and if there are fewer people going, it can only be sent to death, and this kind of strategy can only be thought about.
As for arresting the people to coerce Kaigula, the method is not impossible, but if this is done, Ovate can directly die and be the pope's dream, these people are the people of the Temple of Light, using their own people to threaten the other party, this is a civil war, not a foreign war, if Ovate really approves this battle plan, then even if he can defeat Kaigula, it will be impossible for him to ascend to the throne of the pope.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, all the generals are a little helpless, and some people have proposed to use guerrilla warfare to deal with guerrilla warfare, isn't that nonsense? If guerrilla warfare can work against Kaigula, then it will have to wait until now, on this land, the terrain is mostly hilly, very complicated, and the people are all interested in Kaigula, and the rebel army does not have the support of the common people, and it is impossible to find the whereabouts of the temple army at all.
In order to avoid greater losses, the commander of the Fourth Swordsman Legion, Relis St. Tubbit, proposed a plan: "Shrink the troops, concentrate the forces to act together, and scatter the sentinels far away, so that the Temple Army can no longer take advantage of any loopholes, even if it is a little slow, it doesn't matter, I believe that the Temple will not be able to draw more troops to resist their army." This approach was supported by many generals, and this was the only way to avoid further attacks.
Since all the generals have agreed, Ovat can only agree, but after the meeting, he left Rayleus: "Uncle Ryris, your plan can indeed reduce the losses of our army a lot, but in this way, our army's actions will be much slower, so that Nicholas will be given more time, but I am afraid that we will not have time to save the Proud Empire and the Agni Empire." ”
Ryris sighed and said: "Your Highness, this is also a matter of no choice, if Kaigula is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid that our army has already mutinied before reaching the Empire of Light, we can only do this for now, as for the Empire of the Sun and the Empire of Glory, it can only depend on themselves." ”
The number of armies along the way reached hundreds of millions, although they were divided into dozens of columns to advance, but the queue was still too long, and the sentry cavalry had been sent forty kilometers away, and countless air forces and cavalry acted as sentry horses, blocking the left and right front and rear of the whole army very tightly, not giving the temple army any chance, so it was indeed much safer, and the soldiers also felt a lot more relieved, but the speed of such a march was fast to go at that time? It would be good to be able to advance three hundred kilometers a day, for this change in the rebel army, although Kaigula did not have a chance to start, but he was welcome, he needed time the most now, and the rebel army's marching speed could free him up for at least two months, so that it would be enough for Nicholas to sweep the two empires.
Nicholas is indeed not simple, in the political offensive, Under the double attack of the military offensive, under the powerful propaganda offensive and the reputation of Kaigula, countless soldiers and officials of the two empires have turned against each other, and many important cities are not attacked, so Nicholas's army not only did not reduce many troops, on the contrary, it also recruited a lot of soldiers, just a little more than a month, the two empires have been trampled under his feet, before the war only 260 million troops, up to now, the strength in his hands has reached 580 million, this is still a selected army, and more than 100 million troops have been disbanded by him, with these 580 million troops, coupled with the original troops, Nicholas was already confident that he could withstand the attack of Ovat.
