Chapter 130 The Logistics Gap

Some people are happy, others are naturally worried.

While Captain Eifel was sleeping comfortably, Toby Ted, the new head of the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Kingdom of Sark, was staring at a battle report in his hand with a gloomy face, and finally couldn't help the growing anger in his heart , slapped the battle report heavily on the table in front of him.

"Who the hell is going to tell me what the hell is going on!" The commander of Ted's army stared wide-eyed, from which endless anger spewed out.

The rest of the Greedy Wolf Legion in the tent all lowered their heads, but no one responded, and the entire camp fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing other people's reactions like this, the head of the Ted army became even more angry, but he couldn't find a direction to vent his anger, because the logistics base was suddenly attacked and destroyed. Strictly speaking, no one made a mistake. It's that they didn't have any preparations and responses to the Lampari Kingdom's offensive methods at all.

They deployed a full 10,000 elite heavy soldiers to guard this last and most important logistics base, and laid down layers of blockades along the way, just to prevent the annoying Lampari Kingdom assault team from having any chance. .

However, they never imagined that the attack of the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom 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. sea ​​of ​​flames.

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

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

Although a dozen or so magicians were left behind in the defensive force for the sake of safety, according to the battle report, these ten or so magicians could not even fly into the air under the attack of five magic airships. Form any counterattack.

The final result was that the defensive troops could only watch helplessly as the five magical airships attacked the logistics base unscrupulously at high altitude, but they were helpless.

And the offensive of the magic airship is too violent. So much so that the defensive troops could barely evacuate most of the personnel, but they didn't have any extra energy to rescue those precious logistical supplies.

So now the situation facing the Greedy Wolf Corps suddenly became extremely severe.

The most important logistical material for an army is now running out, and the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari on the opposite side is still exerting pressure on the frontal battlefield, so that they have no chance to breathe.

But if you want to fight back, you have higher requirements for logistics materials.

Among other things, the hundreds of magic cannons equipped by the Greedy Wolf Legion this time required a large amount of magic cannonballs to support them.

Without enough supplies, these hundreds of magical cannons are nothing more than decorations.

After firing a fire, the head of the Ted Army forced himself to calm down again.

Since almost all the logistics materials were destroyed, it is impossible for the Greedy Wolf Legion to withstand the attack of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari, so they have to retreat.

However, once you retreat here. It is equivalent to giving up the most important gateway to the Kingdom of Sark, so that the army of the Kingdom of Lampari can invade the Kingdom of Sark unscrupulously.

So even retreat. It also needs to be carefully arranged, at least until the support of the White Tiger Legion arrives.

Of course, if the military can respond quickly and immediately resend a batch of supplies from within the kingdom, they still have the possibility of a war.

It's just that the leader of the Ted Army knows very well that this is almost impossible.

Not to mention that it will take several days for the military to receive their request for help, and it will take a while to make a decision after receiving it, and the most troublesome thing is to transport those materials to the hands of the Greedy Wolf Army. It will also take a full week.

Thinking of this, the head 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 suggested to the military department to build a road connecting the Greedy Wolf Legion camp to the depths of the kingdom, so as to facilitate the transportation and supply of various logistics materials, but was rejected by the army The Ministry directly rejected it.

The reason given by the military department is that it will cost at least half a million gold coins to build such a road. Instead of spending this money here, it is better to spend it on other more valuable things, such as supporting the military magic machinery research institute. Make some magic cannons or something.

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

If the Kingdom of Sark can be covered with roads like the Kingdom of Lampari, and there are countless magic cargo locomotives as support, then it doesn't matter if the logistics base of the Greedy Wolf Legion is destroyed, because with such convenient transportation conditions, they are completely It is very convenient and quick to resupply without worrying about it.

The head of the Ted Army can be sure that the northern army in the town of Lampari Kingdom on the opposite side must have the logistical supply conditions he has dreamed of.

Because there are roads everywhere in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the traditional carriages have been replaced by countless freight magic locomotives, it can be guaranteed that they will receive new supplies in the shortest possible time.

And the most important thing is that the opponent also has a completely irresistible advantage, and that is the magic airship.

Thinking of this, Commander Ted raised his head, looked at the top of the tent and thought for a while, then when he lowered his head, his face had completely recovered his composure.

"Send down the order to abandon Entak Mountain, shrink all the staff, and return to the defense of Normank Pass."

Everyone in the tent raised their heads together and looked at the commander of the Ted army in astonishment.

"General, this... is this going to retreat?" an officer couldn't help asking.

"That's right." Captain Ted nodded expressionlessly. "Now that the logistics base has been destroyed, we no longer have the ability to continue to stand in a stalemate with the opponent here. Rather than being forced to break through by the opponent a few days later, it is better to retreat now. We can still retain our vitality."

Everyone looked at each other. Qi Qi let out a sigh.

Although very unwilling. But they knew very well in their hearts that what the leader of the legion said was absolutely right.

The Greedy Wolf Corps had struggled to deal with the Zhenbei Army on the frontal battlefield, and now that the logistics supplies have suffered such a major blow, it is impossible to continue to persevere.

"In addition...Apton, in the battle report to the military department, we must focus on the threat posed by the opponent's magic airship. If possible, I hope that the military department will invite magicians of the great magician level to the front line to help .”

Everyone was taken aback again.

It turned out that in the eyes of the head of the legion, the threat of the magic airship had reached such a level. Do you even need to use a distinguished great magician to deal with it?

But it's not wrong to think about it.

The battle where the logistics base was destroyed yesterday fully demonstrated that ordinary soldiers can't pose any threat to the magic airship high in the sky.

And the only ones who can fly high into the sky to launch attacks are magicians, but those magicians who are not high level can't even get close to the magic airship under the intensive attack of the magic airship, so in fact, they can't do much. effect.

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

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 the most critical moment.

Thinking of the suffocating super attack power shown by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari on the frontal battlefield these days, as well as all kinds of elusiveness and ghosts displayed outside the frontal battlefield, all kinds of abilities that people can't even imagine , everyone in the camp remained silent. No question was raised against the Commander Teide.

Seeing the reactions of his colleagues and subordinates, the head of the Ted Legion sighed slightly in his heart.

When he took over the post of head of the Greedy Wolf Legion from Sharon Li Nuer before. He also thought that by virtue of his powerful combat experience and overall view, as well as the growing strength of the Sak Kingdom in recent years, he could completely reverse the situation where the Greedy Wolf Army was suppressed by the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom in one fell swoop, and reproduce the previous situation. The situation of oppressing the Lampari Kingdom at will.

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

Not to mention the huge gap in equipment between the Greedy Wolf Legion and the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom, the difference in logistics alone is countless times between the two sides.

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

Of course, the most important issue is that with the development of these years, the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom has grown to a terrible level.

When it is embodied on the battlefield, it shows gaps in various details.

For example, the astonishing firepower and maneuverability of the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the five magical airships that make people almost desperate, and the ability of the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari to cooperate beyond comprehension and the ability to control intelligence. ...

These things, the head of Ted's army was very confident in his opponent's greedy wolf army, but after the real battle, he found that the strength of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari in this regard had even exceeded his imagination, and it didn't behave like it at all. An army that exists in this era.

This reminded Captain Ted of a short article he read from a "Xinfei Magic Machinery Weekly" that flowed into the Kingdom of Sark around last year.

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

Leaving aside the part about the military magic machinery itself in this short article, the thing that impressed Captain Ted the most was the few words Xu Yi said at the end.

"With the emergence of military magic machinery, the previous mode of warfare that mainly used soldiers, war horses, bows and arrows, and sharp knives has officially become history. With the improvement and development of military magic machinery, the new modern warfare mode must be based on Competing for information and intelligence, relying on super mobility and powerful firepower to seize space and time, making it impossible for the enemy to even counterattack. In the new war mode, the traditional old mode will have no resistance, and the outcome will be It was determined before the fight even started.”

When he saw this passage before, the head of Ted's army scoffed at it, thinking that it was clearly Xu Yi's bragging about the military magic machinery produced by his chamber of commerce.

But now, after personally experiencing the several days of fighting with the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari, the head of the Ted Army recalled this passage, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Xu Yi is right, because of the appearance of these military magic machines, the previous kind of real swords and guns fighting wars may be gone forever. (To be continued..)
