Chapter 882 Push Forward

Just as the team was marching quietly, the roar of the propellers overhead made everyone gradually stop. Looking up, the huge transport plane in the sky swooped down like a dragon. Many people were shocked. They had never seen such a terrifying "creature". Someone shouted excitedly: "The monster is about to attack! Run away!" ah!"

The already low morale was almost crushed by such strange screams. Just when the crowd began to commotion, Viscount Boragon directly pulled out the long sword at his waist and let his guards rush forward: "Whoever spreads rumors again, Just cut it off!"

He personally chopped down two soldiers who were trying to run away. Some knight guards on horses slashed with swords, and some directly poked with lances. It took several minutes to finally suppress the panic.

The morale of the defeated general was already low. Being so frightened by the transport plane at this time, his morale was on the verge of collapse, but Boragon was not a rookie after all. The dragon clan sent by the royal family to support", so that the declining morale was reversed.

But in fact, Boragon knew that this was not a dragon at all, but the other party had already flown away, and it seemed that he would not come to trouble him, which made him feel a little relieved.

As a result, not long after the team calmed down, many pieces of paper began to fall from the sky. The marching soldiers picked it up curiously and found that it was a map. They recognized the shape of the Bordeaux River at a glance. However, on the north bank of the Bordeaux River, there is a large picture of Efta infantry holding swords and shields, while on the south bank, there is an army of nobles who abandoned their armor and dragged their troops and fled in a hurry.

If this picture only depicts the current situation of the battle, then people who see it will not feel much. But what made everyone's heart palpitate...they saw the city of Laena and the city of Berkelis to the east...they were supposed to be the target of their march...and they were also full of Efta's infantry!

"You are surrounded!"

This is the only word written on the picture. Among the retreating soldiers, many knights and nobles were literate. When they understood the text in this picture, they inevitably felt anxious...

As for the leader, Viscount Boragon, he was completely cold at this moment. He didn't believe what the blueprint said. It was true that the enemy was chasing from the rear. Could it be possible to fly from the top of the head to the rear to steal the way? It's okay to deceive people who don't have military knowledge, but it doesn't work at all for him.

But it was the huge flying object that frightened him. That kind of volume and movement, although I don’t know what it is for, but if Efta has such a thing, and it hovers above his head all day long... that feeling is like being stared at by a person all the time, his own There will be no more secrets in our troops!

Thinking of the small "Falcon" he had seen several times before, Boragon suddenly had a creepy feeling: Could it be that every move of all the troops on his side

In fact, he was already under the surveillance of the other party?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong, and he immediately ordered: "Throw away those damn cards! From now on, if anyone carries this kind of card privately and talks about it, draw ten sticks! Everyone speed up! We must Come to Laena City at night!"

The entire army was not all his subordinates, so he couldn't convey such an order immediately. He had to call the scattered lords over to state the pros and cons. It took another hour before the team slowly started to move.

"As long as we can reach the city of Laena, we will win! Don't be discouraged!"

He tried his best to boost his morale, but looking at the land covered by water vapor in the distance, he also had a question in his heart: Is it possible...Efta really captured there?

*****

May 15.

Lannestown.

When Efta's forces arrived, Boragon had left with his own.

In fact, if you really want to march with all your strength, the Efta Infantry Division will be able to catch up with this group of people on the 13th. However, Suo Deluoer, as the commander, did not intend to forcibly attack when the opponent's two main forces almost converged. After all, in a war, "killing someone" is never an end, but a means.

If there is a better way to defeat the enemy earlier, Soderol will naturally not let Efta's army deliberately go up to consume Efta's soldiers are completely different from those knights who were originally relying on it. The cost of professional military training, equipment cost, and transportation made him have to pay attention to the number of attrition.

If Efta had such an army of 100,000, it would have flattened the whole country long ago. But the fact now is that he has just over 10,000 soldiers on the battlefield, and the follow-up reserve is on the way, so before facing a decisive battle, he must minimize losses as much as possible.

In the face of the enemy's main force of nearly 20,000 people, he naturally focused on "driving away".

The infantry division advanced slowly, putting pressure on the opponent in the rear unhurriedly. If there was no bridge on the Bordeaux River, this group of people would definitely jump over the wall and fight back desperately. But when there is a way out, they will definitely choose to continue to retreat. In the final analysis, this is also a manifestation of the "Sanjueyi". Anyway, Efta is working at every step, and the logistics are sufficient. No matter where the team is pressed, the rear trucks can deliver enough food for a week in one day, but the deserters on the other side have already begun to plunder the town and even scramble inside. Conflicted.

When Lorshak jumped out of the truck, the soldiers of the engineering company no longer had the tense expressions they had when they went into battle a week ago.

"The whole team! Report the number!"

As the platoon leader, he carried out the orders of the commander as always. At this time, after finishing the team, he turned his head and glanced around. Lannis Town was almost empty, and it could be called "messy place".

The army of more than 6,000 people passed through here, and to some extent it was actually more terrifying than locusts. The house seemed to have been ransacked, and the ground was trampled by tens of thousands of people because of the recent rain. The road mixed with garbage, food residue, human and animal excrement was really horrible.

For this reason, the first order of the Efta army was to let the engineering company carry out camp planning, and then began to repair the bridge.

Losak's gaze turned to the river beach a few hundred meters away, where the original wooden bridge had been broken, and the stone piers below must have been blown up by spells, obviously unable to be repaired. In the distance, several other smaller pontoon bridges or suspension bridges were also destroyed, but he was not in a hurry to investigate the situation, but began to arrange tasks with ease: "According to the standard of a ten thousand person camp, the old rules, two hours Get it done within!"

Viscount Boragon's camps are distributed randomly and disorderly. Those with tents sleep in tents, and those without tents find a place to make do. However, Efta's barracks has very strict regulations, and has various "extra facilities" canteens, toilets and bathhouses that are incomprehensible to others.

The canteen is not a place for soldiers to sit down and eat, but a dedicated area where meals are distributed uniformly. This is for the purpose of unified management of food and to prevent soldiers from being downsizing due to bad stomachs. Bathhouses and toilets are for the prevention of diseases. Don’t underestimate these three things. In the past three days, more than a hundred people in Viscount Boragon’s troops have been left behind due to various illnesses... most of them were caused by eating Diarrhea, vomiting caused by unhygienic things, and eventually loss of strength or fever coma.

There are no doctors and no magicians here. Most of the fate of being left behind is to die by the roadside and be eaten by wild dogs.

But Efta's barracks is trying to prevent these things from happening at the source. For this reason, the logistics department paid an unimaginable price for the Karen nobles because they would never know that the compartments of the trucks transporting food were all equipped with ice circles.

The charged spar spent on this is enough to arm a light armored cavalry team. However, such consumption has prevented all soldiers who have participated in the battle since the beginning of the war without a single case of non-combat attrition.
