Chapter 450: Arrival! Millions of Coalition Troops From the Imperial Capital
Remember for a second
A few days later, the coalition forces from dì dū finally arrived at Chiyou Territory.
The news of the fiasco of the Phantom Cavalry's raid undoubtedly gave Obsidian, the supreme commander of the coalition, a resounding slap in the face. The bad news was still to come. Dark Moon took the initiative to attack the Chiyou Territory and besieged the Bloodmist Valley where the Phantom Legion was located. , and took advantage of the situation to occupy the strong town of Mordor in the northern part of the Bloodmist Valley
This battle report surprised the coalition forces one after another. Unexpectedly, in the face of the arrival of millions of coalition forces, Dark Moon was still so "fierce"
The coalition army was stationed in a temporary military camp outside Chiyou City. Obsidian did not accept Zhuoqi's request to enter the city lord's mansion, but set up a temporary command center in the military camp and called various lords to participate in the battle meeting.
"Everyone, this time we have only one goal, to conquer the Darkmoon Territory and destroy all the rebels." Obsidian said, a huge sand table with a magical mimesis appeared in the big tent, which was the map of Chiyou and Darkmoon. , with text marking each important position, "The rebels are very arrogant. After ambushing the Shadow Legion, they dared to counterattack into Chiyou Territory and occupied Mordor Town. What do you think?"
"Destroy these arrogant guys"
"Let them know the fate of disobeying His Royal Highness the Regent"
"Kill all the rebels"
"..."
The voices of the lords are one after another, and the horizontal and vertical have come here. Even if they are playing soy sauce with the main force of dì dū, at least they have to show their determination.
Obsidian of course understands the thoughts of these lords, and his face still shows satisfaction: "I have seen everyone's determination and fighting will, Zhuoqi, what do you think?"
Obsidian still trusts Zhuoqi, the lord of Chiyou, and this is Chiyou's "home court", so he must first listen to his opinions
Zhuoqi stood up, bowed slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, although our military has an absolute advantage, we cannot underestimate the enemy's ability to destroy the dark moon with the power of the coalition. The key is how to reduce our own losses. under the premise of maximizing victory.”
These words have won the approval of Obsidian and the various lords, especially the lords Obsidian promised in advance that everyone has a share in the benefits of Dark Moon, although this "share" must be Obsidian's leftovers From the perspective of Dark Moon's financial resources, even "a piece of the pie" is a considerable benefit. Everyone wants it, but if the hard-working army actually turns a lot of black crystal coins into cannon fodder, it will not be worth the loss.
"I got the most information that Dark Moon dispatched a large number of troops into the Chiyou Territory. There are at least one legion, but not all of them are concentrated in Mordor Town. A considerable number of them are attacking the Bloodmist Valley, and the one who sticks to the Bloodmist Valley is the dì dū ghost. General Nesta of the Legion and my son, also the heir of the territory, Kanita"
Saying that, a wisp of ice crystals appeared in Zhuoqie's hand, and pointed to the corresponding position in the sand table: "The Blood Mist Valley is located in the black mountain forest. Nita built fortifications in the Bloodmist Valley and hoarded military supplies to prepare it as an important strategic stronghold to counterattack Darkmoon General Nesta. Yuehui has invaded Chiyou, and is now in a hard fight. I have sent reinforcements twice. Due to the wrong estimate of the number of Dark Moon's troops, coupled with the lack of its own strength, I encountered a failure. Now is the most critical time. I urge Your Highness to send troops to rescue. "
"Geraint, I want to hear your opinion." Obsidian did not reply, and set his eyes on the deputy commander of the coalition forces, Geraint.
The Demon Empire is based on the traditional three-general system, that is, the three most outstanding generals in the empire hold the heavy power of the military. The first general of the Fallen Angel Empire is George Wells, who was appointed by the Great White Night, Athena's father. , not only can strategize and win thousands of miles, but also has a high reputation and is deeply loved by the army. Even after Obsidian came to power, he could not shake the position of General George.
The second general, Doron Ruth, was originally the third general of the empire and was the first military representative to fall to Obsidian. In contrast, his military ability and prestige are much inferior, and he is currently staying behind dì dū.
The person in front of him, Geraint Brann, was raised by Obsidian alone. He is extremely talented. He has been guarding the Tecula fortress in the northwest of the empire adjacent to the Shadow Empire. This time, he was appointed by Obsidian as the deputy commander of the allied army.
"The strength of the dark moon and our army is very different. According to common sense, we should hide in the moonlight fortress and stick to it. This time we will go the opposite way and take the initiative to attack. It is definitely not that simple. I think there are three purposes. , it is very likely that some kind of trick was set up to ambush our reinforcements and want to use some victories to inspire the soldiers and civilians of the Dark Moon, while at the same time attacking our morale number two, pulling the battlefield to the territory of Chiyou, and reducing the loss of local defenses of the Dark Moon Third, use tactics such as sāo to disrupt the deployment of our army, delay the pace of our army, and buy further time for Dark Moon’s deadly deployment.”
This analysis was very clever, and many lords nodded, and Obsidian showed admiration: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
"Dark Moon's biggest purpose is to delay time and temporarily divert our attention. We should not be fooled by this method. We should use our absolute strength to crush the enemy's yīn plot. Currently, the coalition army has traveled a long distance and is physically exhausted. I suggest that the army rest for a while. Time, arrange various resources and supplies, adjust the state to the best, and then dispatch the entire army to attack the Moonlight Fortress with a thunderous momentum, and take the Dark Moon in one go. As for the enemies entrenched in Mordor Town, for our hundred As far as Wan Dajun is concerned, it is just dust along the way.
Disappearing without a trace, nothing to be afraid of.”
The Chiyou lord Zhuoqi immediately objected: "General Geraint means to give up General Nesta and Kanita? The dì dū army and my Chiyou soldiers are currently in the Blood Mist Valley, gritted their teeth and supported them. How dare we go to rescue when we have a million troops? Where is the prestige of the regent? Where is the morale of the coalition forces? Is the blood of the soldiers all in vain?"
Geraint looked at Zhuoqi's excited appearance, and replied lightly: "The ultimate purpose of the war is to win."
The lord below whispered for a while, and Obsidian frowned slightly. Nesta is his heir apparent. The failure of the raid plan is irritating, but being able to persevere under the dark moon's onslaught to the present also shows a tenacious fighting spirit. , especially if there is an heir of the lord of Chiyou in it, if he ignores it, it will make the lords below chill.
As the controller of an empire, in addition to military affairs, politics are also factors that cannot be ignored. Obsidian thought for a long time and said, "Who is willing to lead the army to Mordor Town to conquer the lost territory of Chiyou and rescue Nesta in the Bloodmist Valley. , make this first feat?"
A tall royal family immediately stood up: "His Royal Highness Samuel would like to lead the Serpent Corps to go there"
Seeing that the dì dū Legion took the lead, the lords of two medium-sized territories also expressed their willingness to go. Anyway, with the Nether Serpent Legion as the main force, it should not be a problem to give some credit.
Obsidian nodded, and ordered the two lords headed by Samoel to lead a total of more than 90,000 troops from the Serpent Corps and the two territories to immediately set out to rescue the Shadow Legion in the Bloodmist Valley and crusade those in Chiyou. The remaining armies of the Darkmoon Rebels fully rest and prepare to attack the Darkmoon
Seeing Obsidian's decision, Geraint was silent for a moment, and did not raise any further objections, but suggested to send the elder family, the Demon Emperor, to escort Samoel with the army.
Soon, Samuel led an army of 90,000 troops from Chiyou City and headed south.
"General, two adults, there are two ways to go to Moling Town from this location. One is the main road, which takes about five days at our speed, and the other is the mountain road. It can be reached in about three days after crossing the Tarot Mountains, but it is dangerous xìng Higher, the reinforcements of Lord Zhuoqi were ambushed on this road and forced to retreat.” It was the accompanying guide of Chiyou Territory who spoke.
Samuel opened the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I want to appear in front of those rebels as soon as I take the mountain road."
A lord Rudy advised: "General, we must take into account the possible ambush of the enemy"
"Don't worry," Samoel said confidently: "That kind of terrain can only fight against a small number of troops to set up an ambush. In the face of our army, the enemy's ambush is just to die. I can't wait to get more credit for encountering the Dark Moon Army. Well, just to let them see, what is the real strength of the dì dū army, Laozi's ghost snake army is not those self-righteous cavalry"
Samoel and Nesta have always been at odds. This time he took the initiative to fight not only for the first credit, but also to take the opportunity to elevate himself and humiliate Nesta. The two lords originally came for credit. See Samoy You look so sure, there is no objection
The army began to turn towards the mountain road, and sure enough, they encountered Dark Moon's ambushes along the way. Facing an army of nearly 100,000 people, without an absolute geographical advantage, the ambush soldiers of about 1,000 people could only flee in the desert.
The two lords Qizan Samoel expected the enemy to be like a god, Samoel was proud of himself, and led his army across the Tarot Mountains, and finally came to the border of Mordor Town.
It was almost dusk. Considering the exhaustion of the soldiers from the long march, Samoel did not issue an attack order recklessly, but let the army camp and rest on the spot, and sent scouts to investigate the situation in Mordor Town.
At night, most of the lights in the barracks go out, leaving only the torches of the camp post.
Suddenly, a scream sounded, and then the sound of the enemy attacking jǐng woke the soldiers who had just fallen asleep.
Rows of rockets flew in, the tents on the outer edge were on fire, and thick smoke rose from the sky above the barracks
Samoel and the two lords got up in a hurry, and while organizing the fire, they sent their lieutenants to lead troops to meet them.
However, what makes Samoel depressed is that the enemy's purpose is not to rob the camp or set fire to it, but to harass him. Before the lieutenant can lead his troops to approach, he has already withdrawn far away. Rocket's bow, which is far superior to ordinary bows and crossbows, should be specially modified.
After the pursuit was unsuccessful, Samoel, who returned, doubled the number of guards and expanded the range of defense.
Not long after the sneak attack subsided, the soldiers who had just put down their defenses and fell asleep were awakened again by a series of loud noises. This time the enemy used a magic bomb, and it was thrown from the sky by a flying beast. Moel's army is temporarily stationed, but there is a certain amount of protection magic near the main tent. The rest of the tents can't resist this "airborne bomb". After dozens of bombs burst, the damage caused is second, that kind of "airborne bomb". The deafening sound made all the soldiers once again startled
The hateful thing is that those throwing attackers are very cunning and not greedy for merit.
Soon after, the sāo disturbance came again...
All night, the soldiers didn't get a good night's sleep. Even Samoel was full of red eyes. Those sneak attackers were not only cunning but also not afraid of death. intrusion
"Soldiers, I know that everyone didn't rest well last night. The enemy's methods are quite despicable, but at the same time, it reflects the cowardice of the enemy's strength. He only dares to interfere with us with such unruly tricks." Samoel was able to rule A legion, not mediocrity, spared no effort to cheer loudly: "The enemy is in the town of Mordor ahead, let the dogs of Darkmoon
Mother-in-law offal, experience the wrath from the strongest legion of dì dū”
This encouragement is still effective. Although the soldiers are in a state of exhaustion and exhaustion, they still show a high fighting spirit. Under the command of Samoel, they are gearing up for the town of Mordor.
As Samoel expected, there were some harassments and ambushes along the way, but none of them could stop the army.
Soon, the army arrived at Mordor Town. This time, Dark Moon seemed to concentrate its strength and plan to hold on to Mordor Town, especially those magic circles and defense facilities that were fully opened, which made the Serpent Army encounter stubborn resistance. The credit goes to Joseph, the former operator of Mordor Town, but Joseph, who had always been secretly taking refuge with dì dū, would never have imagined that after his death, all these painstakingly managed equipment would be used against the dì dū army.
The soldiers of the Dark Serpent Corps also took a sigh of relief. Under the fierce offensive, the magic circle and defense facilities were breached one by one. The Dark Moon Army finally couldn't hold on, and had to fully withdraw from Mordor Town.
Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, Samuel, who had successfully recaptured Mordor Town, felt high-spirited and high-spirited. He quickly ordered the soldiers to occupy all points of Mordor Town, and sent someone to report the battle situation to Obsidian.
The next step is to support the Blood Mist Valley, but now the soldiers are in good spirits after winning, but they are already quite tired physically and mentally and must rest immediately
Samoel's idea was to "rest and recuperate" here for a few days. He didn't want to rescue Nesta, his opponent, regardless of his sacrifice. Besides, he has already recovered Mordor Town. , even if it is "too late" to rescue, it will not be blamed
After negotiating with the two lords, Samoer calmed down, arranged for soldiers to be stationed in Mordor Town, and repaired defense towers and other facilities to prepare for defense
I should be able to sleep well tonight
PS: My wife kept sneezing after catching colds and her nose was very uncomfortable. I went to the central hospital for treatment today. Since I was resting and there was no specialist, I saw a general outpatient doctor who diagnosed rhinitis and prescribed two kinds of medicines until it took a long time. I bought the medicine for nearly 200 yuan, only to find out that there is one that actually takes more than 70 days to ask the doctor. The doctor impatiently said that he should finish it all.
Not long ago, the same thing happened when I took my child to see the eyes. The general outpatient clinic prescribed a terrible dose of medicine, and then I was worried. I spent a little more registration fee to see a specialist, but it was diagnosed as a common minor problem. It can be cured with less medicine... This is a regular tertiary hospital
I don't understand, is it really necessary to take so many medicines or is it some kind of kickback benefit?
If it is the latter, then it can only be said that some doctors have lost even some of the most basic virtues driven by their interests, which is worse than misdiagnosis (to be continued)
