Chapter 642: Newman's Decision
The seaside army successfully surrounded the main army of the Eternal Empire into the seaside province, although there were some small twists and turns in the process, but everything went smoothly, almost according to the previous plan step by step, the rest is to wait, not only waiting for Aaron to come to converge, but also waiting for the siege equipment to be ready.
Ryan was not idle when he was hiding in the Warcraft Forest, but cut down a large number of trees to make catapults, which was also to prevent the enemy from being able to defend the southeast acropolis after occupying it. While the enemy could have besieged the city without logistical supplies until they ran out of food, the seashore didn't have that much time, because after destroying the Eternal Empire's army, the seashore would have to face an even more formidable enemy - almost the entire Empire of Ireland.
Therefore, the seashore must now deal with this part of the enemy forces of the Eternal Empire as soon as possible, and then transfer most of the troops to the border to prevent the troops of the Fokker and Vado provinces from sneaking up. It is indeed a very sad thing to beware of the attack of their own troops after destroying the enemy, but in order to protect themselves, Wang Yong and Haibin Xing Province have no choice.
The crescent moon rose and hung in the curtain-like night sky, and the swaying silver light shone on the vast and empty land, looking so cold and sad. Shadow Dance climbed the city wall, came to Wang Yong and Qingling's side, and quietly looked up at the cold night sky for a long time.
After a long time, Wang Yong turned his head and smiled softly and said, "How is it? Did Secy scold me after waking up?" Shadow Dance smiled slightly and did not answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Qingling clenched his little fist, made a fierce appearance and said, "Why don't I go back and teach that guy a lesson?"
Wang Yong rubbed his light head and said, "Let him go, if you accidentally kill him, we will lose a lot, that guy is very valuable, just the ransom can buy several of the largest candy stores." Qingling's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.
Shadow Dance looked around and asked curiously, "What about the wolf head and the cow, doesn't it mean that they are already here?"
Wang Yong pointed to the brightly lit military camp near the city walls and said, "They said that in order to celebrate the victory and the final battle, they drank wine to celebrate." ”
Seeing Shadow Dance's face full of surprise and surprise. Wang Yong smiled and explained: "Although the military discipline is that alcohol is not allowed during the war, after all, there are still many Minotaurs who have volunteered to come to support, so we can't treat others badly, right? Moreover, we are clear about the movements of the enemy army, and there is no danger here at all now, and everyone has been holding back for so long, so I will make an exception and let them drink happily." ”
Shadow Dance shook her head and said, "That's not what I said, I'm curious why you didn't drink with them, why did you get here?"
Wang Yong pointed to the light spirit beside him and said, "It's not her yet, I have to come and see what the searchlight looks like." ”
Qingling wrinkled her nose and said, "It's not like I've never seen such a bright light, boss, can you rest assured that I'll come alone? What if I meet a bad person?" So I asked you to come with me. ”
Wang Yong rolled his eyes and said, "What bad guys are you afraid of?" I guess the bad guys meet you. Before I can do it, I will be hacked to death by you. ”
Qingling snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "Am I so violent?"
Wang Yong waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, it's just that I always stab people with daggers." ”
At the same time, in the southeast acropolis of the seaside province, Newman looked around at the army commanders with a cold face, and finally slapped the table fiercely and said, "Didn't you all have ideas before?
Marshall, who was stared at by Newman, stood up tremblingly and said, "Sir, I think we should send more people to get in touch with the Shenlong Pass first, and after getting enough supplies, I will rescue His Royal Highness the Great Prince with them." ”
Newman narrowed his eyes and said, "From the beginning to the present." There are no less than 200 people sent to Shenlong Pass, but none of them have been able to come back so far. I'll send you. Marshall's face turned pale when he heard this, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Newman.
Newman didn't intend to let Marshall go, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said to Marshall, "Sit down." Marshall was relieved. Secretly wiped a cold sweat.
Newman unfolded the map, sketched a picture of it, and then said to the crowd, "Everybody, come here." When the Legion Commanders heard this, they all gathered around the table where the maps were placed.
Newman pointed to the location of the Coastal Province. Then he pointed to the southern border of the seashore and said: "This is the border of the seaside province, there are two ways to enter or leave the seashore from here, the first is the nearest road we took when we came is also the official road of the Aier Empire, and between the west of the official road and the Warcraft Forest, there is a wasteland, about hundreds of miles long, but our exploration horses have never been able to enter that area, which means that there are a large number of enemy troops stationed in that area." At the entrance of that official road, a large number of enemy cavalry is there, and it will be difficult for us to rush through. And the most important thing is that the Shenlong Pass that everyone is still expecting in their hearts, if I guess correctly, it is no longer our Eternal Empire, and it should also be occupied by the troops of the Seaside Province or the Aier Empire, as for Hutt and them, it is estimated that there is little chance of survival. Hearing Newman's words, all the legion commanders were dumbfounded, especially the last mention that the Shenlong Pass had been captured, which made them even more dumbfounded.
Marshall could not confidently say: "No, right? Shenlong Pass occupies a dangerous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if there is no 20,000 cavalry under Commander Hutt, there are originally 20,000 infantry to defend, how can it be captured silently?"
Newman frowned and said, "I also hope I guessed wrong, but from all indications, even if the Shenlong Pass is still in our hands, they are unable to protect themselves, and there is no way to send troops to help us, otherwise they should have taken the initiative to send someone to contact us." ”
The Legion Commanders looked at Newman with worried faces, Newman sighed and said: "Now our scouts and scouts can only operate within a radius of ten miles, beyond which they will never come back, but according to the previous information, I think the only way out for us now is to quickly go to the Shenlong Pass to see what is going on there." If the enemy is besieged there, we can join forces with the defenders inside, and then gather superior forces to wipe out the coastal province in one fell swoop. But if the Shenlong Pass has been lost, then give full play to the strengths of our infantry, take the Shenlong Pass back again at all costs, open the way, and wait for reinforcements. All the legion commanders nodded in agreement, and at the same time deliberately ignored the matter of rescuing the eldest prince, between life and death, it is human nature that they choose to protect themselves first.
