Biquge www.novelbuddy.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Emperor Fairy Magic!
Nisa City is the largest city in the northeast of Gourmet. The 70,000 or 80,000 monks and huge supplies brought by Garrigi from elsewhere are the absolute core of the first batch of monks' supplies arriving in the east. If this team ceases to exist, it means that at least 30% of the first congregation of monks and supplies have been lost.
Without these 30% strength, the strength of the second line of defense is greatly diminished.
Because of this, Mullen was furious when he heard the news.
He grabbed the collar of the talking monk, spit on each other's face, and growled, "Isn't Garrigi saying that the Tang Dynasty's elaborate works have been ambushed by you and have lost the capacity for large-scale operations? How could they There are forces attacking you, why are they still in your team ?! What are you doing ?! "
The great monk looked pale, but didn't know what to say. Why aren't they confused and horrified? To this day, they have not figured out these questions that Mullen asked, and they are equally horrified.
These people did not fight with Garrigi, so they were able to escape, but because of this, they did not hear Xu Ge's words to Garrigi.
Unable to get the answer he wanted, Malun threw the monk away, only to feel panicked. As soon as he thought that the next battle would be greatly affected, he was so anxious and anxious that he couldn't help himself.
Just when he reluctantly stabilized his mind and continued to move forward, he encountered two large monks who were covered with scaly wounds and howling.
As a result, Mullen heard the second attack, the monks suffered heavy losses, and the supplies were burned down. The size of this team is not as good as that of Nisa City, but it also has tens of thousands of people. It is also because of the rush to travel day and night, giving Western Regions the opportunity to take advantage of its exhaustion.
This time, Mullen finally couldn't hold back, and a spit of blood spurted out.
By the time Marlen returns to the core of the second line of defense, Faman City, he has received news of the attack on three teams. The first batch of monks and materials that should have reached the second line of defense had lost nearly half.
The major monk who Mullen reported to in the future beheaded and killed on the spot, so he could not keep from vomiting blood.
Fortunately, in the next few days, no more bad news came. The other teams arrived in Faman City with the monks and supplies they had recruited. This gave Mullen some comfort, so he only had the intention to retreat and recover. Injury.
By this time, Marlen and Xi Luchi were very clear, because only half of the first call for monks and materials arrived in the East, and the initial combat effectiveness of the second line of defense was very weak, and the battle was bound to be very difficult, or even very likely Tang Jun made a breakthrough.
Mullen was ready to give up Faman City, a decision that made him miserable, but he had to do it.
The loss of the first batch of monks and materials could not be recovered, but as long as the second and third batch of monks and materials solicited could successfully reach the east and reach the third line of defense, the food still had the power to block Tang Jun.
The only difference is that the war will spread to the heartland of the eclipse, and the cost of the eclipse will be even greater.
At the same time, Malun strictly ordered that the Great Temple, especially the Supervisory House, must use all their power to wage wars on the Tang Dynasty in various cities in the rear, and slay them out at all costs to kill them. In order to facilitate the operation of the Great Shrine, he was given the greatest authority by the other party without being hindered by local officials and forces.
The strength of the Tang Dynasty's elaborate work had already made Marlen frightened. The influence of the other party on the war far exceeded his previous expectations, making him almost calm for a moment. Prior to this, he never thought that there would be so many things that can be done in detail, and that it could have such a great obstacle to the front battlefield.
During these extraordinary times, when dealing with the fine works of the Tang Dynasty, it would be better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go.
...
"In detail, Marlen's summons can mobilize millions of monks and war materials that can support for years. If monks and materials enter the battlefield as scheduled, and the food can be completely lined up, it is indeed difficult for us to deal with it. "
In Mulu City, Li Yan looked at the army marching west and talked to Qi King next to him about the battle situation. He had received Xu Ge's return, and the operation of the western region commercial bank.
A few days ago, the Western Region Commercial Bank concentrated their efforts on an attack on six teams heading for Faman City. Three of these operations succeeded, one failed, one had limited results, and one was forced to abandon. As a result, half of the first monks recruited by Mullen were lost, but not completely destroyed.
The Western Region Commercial Bank also paid a small price for this. Of the failures and limited achievements, only the monk withdrew quickly and mostly escaped. Most of the monks escaped and died on the spot.
In Xu Ge's original plan, the first batch of monks' materials summoned by Ma Lun were to be destroyed. To this end, she left the 500 monks who had previously entered the east of the Great Food—except for Zhang Changan. Part of it was all mobilized.
He has been hosting the Western Region Commercial Bank for many years. Xu Ge knows that once the Western Region Commercial Corporation begins large-scale operations, it will inevitably cause a counterattack of the Crescent Church and the Supervision Institute, so the first wave of operations is the least difficult and the easiest to succeed. After this, the Western Region Commercial Bank will reduce the frequency of operations.
On the one hand, the operation will cause Western Regions to lose a lot of manpower. Whether it is success or failure, casualties are inevitable, and hundreds of people show up among tens of thousands of people. Even with the cooperation of external forces in the team, the difficulties are still very large and the casualties are It ’s impossible to think
On the other hand, it is also to concentrate the remaining forces to ensure Zhang Changan's follow-up actions.
That's when the Western Regions Commercial Bank really showed its talents in this war, and caused real damage to the food.
Nowadays, the first wave of actions of the Western Region Commercial Bank has been mixed, and Xu Ge has deliberately given a discount. It is just that Li Zhi is well aware of the difficulties and risks of careful operation, and does not blame Xu Ge. The effect of the other party's actions actually reached Li's expectations.
The second line of defense on the east side of Dashi is already very weak in front of Tang Jun. As long as the Lingnan Hai Division Marine Corps is combined with the unparalleled ability of the Changan ship to attack the front, it is likely to break through quickly.
"Mullen plans to recruit a million monks. Although the number is huge, the fighting power of ordinary monks is very different from the trained and battled monk army.
"Originally relying on the strategy of the East Side of the Great Eatery, in conjunction with the Guards and the Standing Army, the newly recruited monk army was able to hone out and become elite in the continuous defensive battles.
"But now, as long as we can quickly break through the second line of eclipse and speed up the offensive progress, the monks convened by Mullen will have no time to grow. Moreover, the monk army is very different from the monk army.
"In truth, except
The Changan banned the army of Langya, Tiger Guard, and Yulin. The monks accounted for not too much. They all had standard armaments and were battle-tested. In a head-to-head battle, it is not so difficult to defeat the new recruits on the battlefield. "
When King Qi said here, his eyes were full of vitality, apparently he had already seen the prospect of a good development of the battle situation. She is obviously more optimistic and confident.
A few days later, the army arrived at the front line of the Farman City. The Lingnan Marine Division Army, after clearing the flanking threats, also came to join the army.
Right now, soldiers are expensive, so although the soldiers were just at the front line of Mulu City, they had just gone through the war, and Li Zhi just let the soldiers rest for half a day that day, and launched the offensive against Farman City the next day.
The second line of defense, centered on Farman City, has completed the construction of the city and the fortifications, but the military supplies have not kept up. Many of the defense facilities are just empty shelves, and because the monks did not get in time, the fighting power of the food was very poor. .
However, Mullen was determined to force the existing soldiers to fight hard, but did not allow Tang Jun to capture the line of defense in three or five days.
Tang Jun spent ten days.
Ten days later, the heavily wounded Eclipse Army was forced to withdraw to the third line of defense.
"Originally, the second line of defense should be maintained for at least three months, or even longer. When all monks and materials arrive, we will also make a roundabout raid, and launch a large-scale assault on the boundary of hundreds of miles to find opportunities to counterattack and let Tang Jun Difficult to care for, end to end.
"Now, none of this can be achieved, and we have to retreat to the last line of defense ..."
On the retreat, Xi Luchi was worried, "Calif, what should we do now?"
Mullen glanced at the defeated army on the ground under his feet. The troop was not neat. Many soldiers held their heads. The monks looked dignified and miserable. Morale had reached the lowest underestimation since the war.
Mullen gritted his teeth: "Don't panic. Although the second line of defense has only been held for ten days, I have ordered the repair of the city's fortifications on the third line of defense to be almost the same. The monks, supplies, and most of the recruits we are about to arrive, we Have the strength to defend the third line of defense!
"Tell the generals that the fewer soldiers Tang has, the deeper they get into the country, as long as we block them, the more difficult they are to fight. Once the cold winter comes, the offensive of the other party is bound to slow down, and we will have time to gather all our forces and fight back in despair! We have not We still have hope! "
...
"Zhang Tong, do you really want to go with us? The danger is too great! You just need to follow me. If there is any action, I will go all out!"
"It goes without saying that I have to be in the team, and you can arrange an official position for the heavy camp."
Seeing Zhang Changan's intentions decided, Saidian could only follow the instructions. He had persuaded the other party several times, but the other party had little extra information and would not disclose it.
Right now, Sai Dianchi, with her conscript team, has left Susa City hundreds of miles, and is now heading east. With him was Mohad, one of the five elders of the Great Temple, and His Majesty had a team of principal high priests.
They just merged in Ciyi City yesterday, and now the team is very powerful, with 200,000 monks, and it is the absolute core of the third batch to reach the Eastern Battlefield.
