Chapter 958: Logistical gap

Views:

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried.

When Captain Eifel fell asleep comfortably, Toby Ted, the new commander of the Sark Kingdom's Greedy Wolf Legion, stared at a battle report in his hand with a gloomy face. In the end, he could not help but feel the growing anger in his heart. , slamming the battle report on the table in front of him.

"Who the hell tell me what the hell is going on!" The Ted Legion commander's eyes widened, and he spewed out endless anger.

The other Greedy Wolf Legion members in the camp all lowered their heads, no one responded, and the entire camp fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing other people's reactions like this, the commander of the Ted Army became even more angry. However, he could not find a direction to vent his anger, because this time the logistics base was suddenly attacked and destroyed. Strictly speaking, it was not anyone's fault. It's that they had no preparation or response to the Lampali Kingdom's attack.

They deployed a full 10,000 elite troops to guard this last and most important logistics base, and set up layers of blockades along the way, just to prevent the annoying Lampali Kingdom assault team from before from any chance. .

However, they never imagined that the offensive of the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army did not come from any corner of the land, but from the sky!

According to the battle report, five magic airships suddenly appeared in the sky above the logistics base yesterday afternoon, and then dropped countless magic bombs mercilessly. In less than five minutes, the logistics base became a mess. Sea of fire.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the other party's attack was particularly violent. As a result, the soldiers responsible for defending this logistics base failed to respond at all.

certainly. Even if they can respond. But there is no way to deal with the five magic airships suspended high in the sky.

Although a dozen magicians were left in the defensive force for safety reasons, according to the battle report, these dozen magicians could not even fly into the air under the attack of five magic airships. Naturally, they could not form any counterattack.

The final result was that the defensive forces could only watch five magic airships brazenly attacking the logistics base at high altitude, but they were helpless to do anything about it.

Moreover, the magic airship's offensive was too fierce. As a result, the defensive forces could only reluctantly evacuate most of their personnel, but they did not have any extra energy to rescue those precious logistical supplies.

So now the situation faced by the Greedy Wolf Legion has suddenly become extremely serious.

The most important logistics supplies for an army are now running low, and the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army on the opposite side is still exerting constant pressure on the frontal battlefield, leaving them no chance to breathe.

But if you want to fight back, you have higher requirements for logistical supplies.

Not to mention anything else, the hundreds of magic artillery pieces equipped by the Greedy Wolf Legion this time alone require a large number of magic artillery shells to support them.

Without enough supplies, these hundreds of magic cannons are nothing more than decoration.

After getting angry, the leader of the Ted Army forced himself to calm down again.

Since almost all the logistics supplies have been destroyed, it is impossible for the Greedy Wolf Legion to withstand the attack of the Northern Army of the Lampali Kingdom, and they have no choice but to retreat.

But once here retreat. It is equivalent to giving up the most important gateway area to the Sak Kingdom, allowing the army of the Lampali Kingdom to invade the Sak Kingdom unscrupulously.

So even if it’s a retreat. Careful arrangements are also needed, at least until the support of the White Tiger Legion arrives.

Of course, if the military could respond quickly and immediately re-transport a batch of supplies from within the kingdom to replenish it, they would still have a chance of fighting.

But the commander of the Ted Army knew very well that this was almost impossible.

Not to mention that it would take several days for the military department to receive his request for help, and it would take a while to make a decision after receiving it. The most troublesome thing was to transport the supplies to the Greedy Wolf Legion. It also takes a full week.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Ted Army couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

When he took over the defense work of the Greedy Wolf Legion and the southern part of the kingdom, he had made suggestions to the military department to build a road connecting the Greedy Wolf Legion's camp to the depths of the kingdom to facilitate the transportation and supply of various logistics supplies, but the military was rejected. The ministry directly rejected it.

The reason given by the military department is that it would cost at least more than half a million gold coins to build such a road. Instead of spending this money here, it would be better to spend it on other more valuable things, such as supporting the Military Magic Machinery Research Institute. Make some magic artillery or something.

However, judging from the current situation, the traffic improvement brought by highways is obviously more important.

If the Kingdom of Sak could be covered with roads like the Kingdom of Lampali, and supported by countless magic freight locomotives, then it would not matter even if the Greedy Wolf Legion's logistics base was destroyed, because with such convenient transportation conditions, they would be completely It can be easily replenished quickly without any worries.

The commander of the Ted Army can be sure that the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom on the opposite side must have the logistical supply conditions he dreams of.

Because there are roads crisscrossing the Kingdom of Lampali, and the traditional horse-drawn carriages have been replaced by countless magic freight locomotives, they can ensure that they receive new supplies in the shortest possible time.

The most critical thing is that the opponent also has an advantage that is completely impossible to target, and that is the magic airship.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Ted Army raised his head, looked at the top of the tent and thought for a while. When he lowered his head again, his face had completely regained his composure.

"Give me the order to abandon Entak Peak, shrink all troops, and return to defend the mouth of the Norman Valley."

Everyone in the camp raised their heads and looked at the leader of the Ted Army in shock.

"General, this... is this a retreat?" an officer couldn't help but ask.

"That's right." The leader of the Ted Army nodded expressionlessly. "Now that the logistics base has been destroyed, we no longer have the ability to continue the stalemate with the opponent here. Rather than being forcibly breached by the opponent in a few days, it is better to retreat now. We can still retain our strength."

Everyone looked at each other. They all sighed.

Although very reluctant. But they knew very well in their hearts that what the Legion Commander said was absolutely correct.

The Greedy Wolf Legion had already struggled to deal with the Zhenbei Army on the frontal battlefield, but now that its logistics supplies had suffered such a heavy blow, it was impossible to continue to hold on.

"In addition... Upton, in your battle report to the military, you must focus on the threat posed by the opponent's magic airship. If possible, I hope the military will invite magicians at the level of great magicians to the front line to assist in the battle. "

Everyone was stunned again.

It turns out that in the mind of the Legion Commander, the threat of the magic airship has reached such a great level. Do we even need to use the noble magician to deal with it

But on second thought, it’s not wrong.

Yesterday's battle in which the logistics base was destroyed fully demonstrated that ordinary soldiers cannot pose any threat to the magic airship in the sky.

The only ones who can fly to high altitudes to launch attacks are magicians, but those low-level magicians cannot even get close to the magic airship under the intensive offensive of the magic airship, so they can't actually do anything big. effect.

The only ones who can pose a threat to these terrifying magic airships are probably magicians at the level of great magicians.

However, the Sark Kingdom currently only has seven great magicians, and they will not be dispatched easily.

Once the great magician really needs to be used, it means that the Sark Kingdom must have reached its most serious moment.

Thinking of the suffocating super attack power displayed by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army on the frontal battlefield these days, as well as the various mysterious abilities displayed outside the frontal battlefield, various abilities that people can't even imagine. , everyone in the camp was silent. No questioning was raised against the leader of the Ted Corps.

Seeing the reactions of his colleagues, the leader of the Ted Army sighed slightly in his heart.

When he took over the position of commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion from Sharon Li Nuer. He also thought that with his strong combat experience and overall view, as well as the increasing strength of the Sark Kingdom in recent years, he could completely reverse the previous situation where the Greedy Wolf Army was suppressed by the Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army, and recreate the previous situation. The situation of bullying the Lampali Kingdom at will.

However, now that he actually sat in this position, he discovered the reason for Sharon Linur's helplessness in front of him before.

Not to mention the huge gap in equipment between the Greedy Wolf Legion and the Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army. In terms of logistics alone, the difference between the two sides is countless times.

The Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army has strong behind-the-scenes support from the Lampali Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they can rest easy in all aspects. However, if the Greedy Wolf Army wants to gain strong support from the Sak Kingdom's military headquarters, it still depends on the faces of some people. .

Of course, the most important problem is that with the development of these years, the national power of the Lampali Kingdom has grown to a terrifying level.

When concretely reflected on the battlefield, there are differences in various details.

For example, the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army's astonishing firepower, mobility, and five magic airships are almost desperate …

These things originally led the Ted Army commander to have great confidence in his Greedy Wolf Army, but after the war actually started, he found that the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army was even more powerful in this regard than he imagined, and it did not behave at all. An army that exists in this era.

This reminded the leader of the Ted Army of a short article he read in the "New Flying Magic Machinery Weekly" that flowed into the Sark Kingdom probably last year.

This short article was written by Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the content is related to military magic machinery.

Putting aside the part about the military magic machinery itself in this short article, what impressed the commander of the Ted Army the most was the few words Xu Yi said at the end.

"With the emergence of military magic machinery, the previous war model that mainly used soldiers, war horses, bows and arrows and sharp blades has officially become history. With the improvement and development of military magic machinery, the new modern war model must be based on The main focus is on fighting for information and intelligence, relying on super mobility and powerful firepower to seize space and time, making it impossible for the enemy to even fight back. In the new war mode, the traditional old mode will be powerless, and the outcome will be determined. It was decided before the fight even started.”

When he saw this passage before, the leader of the Ted Army sneered at it, thinking that it was Xu Yi bragging about the military magic machinery produced by his own chamber of commerce.

But now after personally experiencing the several-day battle with the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army, the commander of the Ted Army thought of these words, and he felt filled with emotion in his heart.

Xu Yi is right, because of the emergence of these military magic machines, the past wars with real swords and guns may be gone forever. (To be continued...)
