Chapter 727 Overtime (1)
After several months of truce, the empire completed military mobilization and pulled the two first-line legions to the Yelinhe battlefield.
As soon as the two sides met, an old man in half armor warmly embraced Ivy: “My old friend, long time no see!”
Ivy also responded enthusiastically, and said with a smile: “Commander Reed, how is the situation on the Scarlet Front?”
Lydia spread his hands and said helplessly: “It’s still the same, with millions of orcs piled up there, but they just dare not attack.”
Ai Wei smiled and said: “The Orc King’s Court is not a fool. The **** defense line is so strong that the empire runs so strong that a forced attack will only cause their soldiers to die.”
Lydia patted Ivy on the shoulder boldly: “That’s natural, how is the situation on your side?”
Ai Wei’s face gradually became serious, and he shook his head: “Not too optimistic, Silvermoon Kingdom is a tough bone, I spent more than half a year here, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, but I didn’t even break through their first line of defense .”
Ridera’s face also turned serious. He and Ivey have worked together on the Scarlet Front for decades, and he knows very well how much this old friend is.
The newly-promoted general of the empire was definitely not something he boasted about. It was a title held up by orc soldiers with corpses.
Even this kind of person thinks that the Silvermoon Kingdom is tough, and one can imagine how tricky the Silvermoon Kingdom is…
At this time, a middle-aged man in full-body plate armor came over: “Captain Aiwei Army, I think you overestimate the Silver Moon Kingdom.”
Ivy looked at the person coming, and frowned slightly: “Mick, what I said is the truth!”
Mick shrugged and spread the map on the ground. The other two immediately understood and sat down cross-legged.
They are all legion commanders of the Scarlet Front.
Ridya has the oldest qualifications and a relatively stable command style. Of course, from another perspective, it is not easy to make achievements, so this life is basically messed up.
Ivey’s qualifications are a little less, but he has also worked as the head of the army for many years. His command style is flexible and changeable. He is the head of the legion, but his actual authority is higher than that of the rest of the legion.
Mick is the youngest, and he became the commander of the legion after Ivey was transferred away. It can be said that he took over Ivey’s position. His command style is brave and aggressive, but it is by no means reckless.
In addition, the three of them have one thing in common. They all belong to the new aristocratic forces that have only emerged in the past few hundred years, as do most of the officers of the legion under their command.
But obviously, none of them realized that there was anything wrong, because the new aristocratic forces were most supportive of this war against the Silver Moon Kingdom.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with letting the new aristocratic forces dominate this war…
Mick gestured on the map: “You see, the Silver Moon Kingdom has relatively few troops, and it is destined to be unable to defend the entire Yelin River. If we cross the river from other places.”
Ai Wei interrupted him directly: “I tried this, but it didn’t work very well. In the reach of the river that can’t be taken into account, the Silver Moon Kingdom has a company stationed every few hundred meters, and there are cavalry patrolling back and forth.
The army of the Silver Moon Kingdom is extraordinary in combat effectiveness and discipline.
Thousands of us may not be able to win a company of more than one hundred people like this. If too many troops are dispatched, their cavalry will quickly rush to support.
In the end, only a second battlefield will be opened up! ”
Lydia was a little surprised: “I’m going, thousands of people can’t take down more than a hundred people on the opposite side. What you said is too exaggerated. Could it be that the soldiers of the Silver Moon Kingdom are all iron men?”
Ivey smiled wryly: “In fact, their individual soldiers are just like that. The key is that as long as the system is established, they can fight you endlessly. Although the soldiers are not iron men, the army is definitely an iron army!”
Mick thought for a moment and said: “Even if you are telling the truth, the gaps between each garrison point are not impossible to use. We can use a small group of troops to infiltrate at night, and then gather behind the enemy. In this way, we can Break through the defenses and wreak havoc behind enemy lines.”
Ai Wei frowned slightly: “In this case, the quality requirements for infiltrating soldiers are extremely high, and the final effect may not meet expectations. Once the opportunity fails, it is equivalent to giving our elite troops to Silver Moon Kingdom to eat.”
War is not a game. Soldiers will do whatever you want to do without hesitation, infiltrating and gathering silently, and a lone army without reinforcements or supplies will go deep.
Once discovered during infiltration, or surrounded during sabotage behind enemy lines, it is basically cool. This kind of plan, which is similar to sending to death, would be a ghost if soldiers would willingly participate in it?
And this kind of plan itself has extremely strict requirements, and even a group of unwilling soldiers are required to execute it, and the probability of success is infinitely close to zero.
Mick stared at Ivy, frowning deeply: “Commander Ivy, are you… a little too cautious? I remember you once said that every time you make a tactical plan, it’s a gamble, no In the end, who knows whether to win or lose!”
Lydia also nodded: “Indeed, it feels like you are more cautious than me now, what’s going on?”
Ai Wei was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile: “Maybe… I have been scared by the Silver Moon Kingdom, you are right, you still have to try to know if the plan can succeed! ”
…
In the middle of the night, selected elite teams waded across the Yelin River, tiptoeing to pass through the gap between the two outposts.
“Cut, I think the commander of Ivy’s army is really frightened, why are you so careful!” Some soldiers complained dissatisfied.
They are the elite of the first-line legion, the best soldiers of the empire, whoever is singled out is not worth ten, and the orc warriors are no match for them.
But now, beating a small Silver Moon Kingdom is like being a thief!
The captain reprimanded in a low voice: “Shh, be quiet, since the commander of the Aiwei Army wants us to do this, he must have his reasons. Remember, no movement is allowed before reaching the assembly point!”
The reprimanded team members nodded reluctantly: “Yes… yes.”
Heck~ While walking, one of the team members at the front suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from under his feet, he thought he stepped on some kind of stone, so he didn’t care~www.readmtl.com~ and continued to tiptoe forward .
It has to be said that the members of these squads are the elite of the first-line army of the empire, and their stealth skills are quite excellent. So far, they have not been discovered by the company stationed at the outpost.
But this time, what they met was a Sentinel who didn’t need to rest!
boom! The landmine buried under the ground exploded, blowing away the soldier whose feet had just left.
The soldier’s brain went blank. After landing, the pain came belatedly, and then he wailed while clutching his empty thigh: “Ah! My leg! My leg!!”
“What, have you been discovered?! If that’s the case, then start the attack plan and follow me!” Seeing this, the captain drew out his long sword and rushed towards the post, followed by the team members.
Crackling sounds sounded one after another, bang! boom! boom! Before rushing out fifty meters, the members of this team were all blown up by a landmine and broke a leg, fell to the ground and howled in pain.
beep! beep! beep! Enemy attack! Only then did the soldiers at the outpost realize the anomaly. They blew their copper whistle and fired flares, illuminating the entire sky.
The team that was performing the infiltration mission suddenly leaked into the field of vision of the soldiers at the outpost.
Da da da! Da da da! Machine gunfire followed, and one team after another fell.
But how could the most elite soldiers of the empire be defeated so easily? The surviving squad wanted to face up to the difficulties and directly capture these outposts, but there was a rattling sound from their feet within a few steps.
A group of soldiers with broken legs couldn’t even touch the gate of the outpost…
On the north side of the Yelin River, watching these elite soldiers being massacred without any resistance, Mick and Reedia put down their binoculars palely.
It wasn’t until this moment that they understood Ivy’s prudence…
