On the first day of December, the Mirage Emperor waited for another birthday in the northern part of the island. This former ruler of the Mirage Kingdom has now lost his magnificent palace.
In fact, the original Mirage Palace was not that luxurious, but after all, it was much better than the secluded house in the deep mountains and old forests in front of me.
Frankly speaking, the conditions here are actually quite good. Because it is far away from the battlefield, the degree of damage here is obviously much smaller. After all, no matter how generous the Tang Empire was, they would not waste bombs aimlessly throwing them into the mountains and old forests.
.
Although many exposed targets will be subject to highly targeted attacks, most of the hidden small workshops, as well as some villages and towns, have not actually been affected by the war.
The Mirage Emperor was sitting next to the table, watching the news from Mirage Vuk coming back from the Mirage City, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Mirage Wen Dabo was standing nearby. He had already heard the news that the Tang Empire was unwilling to let him and Mirage Wuke go. In fact, he had accepted the fact that he was going to die. After all, the Tang Empire in this world could not let him go.
Not many people care about him. He deserves to be proud of himself.
There is no electricity here, so we can only light the kerosene lamps. The lighting during the day is mediocre, and it becomes even more difficult at night.
Only those who have experienced it can understand how sad and miserable people who are accustomed to modern life will feel after losing electricity.
In fact, it's not very bright here during the day, because there are big trees overhead to block the sun. After all, this is a secluded manor, and using trees to block the view of the plane is the best way to ensure safety here.
Because there is shade from the trees, you can only read by leaning against the window during the day. This environment makes Mirage very uncomfortable, and the feeling of depression makes him feel very bad.
Mirage Wen Dabo gently reported the battle situation in Mirage City: "General Ke is working hard to defend Mirage City. The opponent's attack is very fierce, and some enemy troops have entered the Mirage City area."
In fact, the situation in the Mirage City is already very bad. Many ministers who followed the Mirage Emperor to the north are trying to persuade the Mirage Emperor to take refuge in the North Island.
In their opinion, the main island can no longer hold on, and retreating to the North Island is the safest option.
As for the fact that there were so many destroyers of the Tang Empire crossing the sea from the main island to the North Island, these people couldn't care less whether it was dangerous or not to cross the sea.
After all, the current situation is indeed very dangerous: if the orc troops give up the storming of the Mirage City and choose to go north to attack the place where the Mirage Emperor is, the goblins will have no way to resist it.
The products and materials that the workshops in the north can provide are almost exhausted. The soldiers recruited lack training and are not large in number, so they are unable to continue fighting against the orcs.
Once the orcs really start to advance north, the goblins will have no choice but to fight guerrillas in the northern mountains for a while.
Mirage Wenxin followed Mirage Emperor, feeling very uneasy at this moment. Because the Tang Empire seemed to be friendly to him, the Mirage official in charge of diplomacy, and even erased his name from the list of "must die"
.
This made him feel very happy, but also made him very embarrassed in the eyes of many officials of the Mirage Kingdom. The Tang Empire had to let Mirage Wuke and Mirage Dabo die, but only let Mirage Wenxin live, which in itself was
Represents many subtle things.
So Mirage Wenxin usually doesn't speak now, and just listens to Mirage Dabo continue to say: "But they don't seem to be in a hurry to encircle Mirage City. There are still some small roads that can penetrate into Mirage City, but the cost is very high. Look,
It was purposely left to us and consumed by us.”
Avoiding the gazes of Mirage Emperor and Mirage Dabo, Mirage Wenxin continued to pray that he could become transparent. As expected, Mirage Emperor had no intention of letting Mirage Wenxin speak, but asked: "Do we still have something for them to consume?
"
The Mirage Master shook his head and answered the Mirage Emperor's question bitterly: "Only we know that we have nothing left for the Mirage City. Even if the other party attacks us, we don't have many troops to deal with it."
"Cannonballs and bullets can still be produced in small quantities, but there is no way to make other things. There is not enough electricity, and there is no way to exhaust smoke..." As the prime minister, he knows how dilapidated the Mirage is now. For a country
To put it bluntly, this can only be described as a disaster.
"In a whole month, we have only produced one Cyric 5 tank, plus the two tanks last month, there are three tanks in total." The Mirage Emperor remembered the report he had heard before, and his expression suddenly became ferocious.
Get up!
Last month, Mirage produced a total of two tanks, which were supplied to the 3rd Armored Division, but this month they only produced one, a pitiful one!
Having said this, Mirage Emperor stood up, walked to Mirage Dabo, almost put his hand on his face, and shouted loudly: "And the orc army gained an entire armored division last month.
!More than 500 tanks! Just call the opponent’s bluff, but there are also 200 tanks, right?”
"Two hundred! That's two hundred tanks! My loyal 3rd Armored Division only has two tanks in total! Two!" He stretched out two fingers and gestured on Mirage Dabo's face.
!
He hasn't said how different the quality of the tanks between the two sides is: the tank produced by Mirage is the Cyric Type 5. The comprehensive combat capabilities of this thing are simply not comparable to the No. 4 tank obtained by the Orcs!
In fact, the Tang Empire did add more than 400 tanks to the Orcs' 2nd Armored Division, and also gave some No. 4 assault guns and Bumblebee self-propelled artillery.
These armored units gave the Ork 2nd Armored Division a very powerful combat capability, and it was even easier to defeat the Mirage 3rd Armored Division, which only had two tanks.
Mirage Dabo reminded his Majesty the King with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, according to yesterday's battle report, the 3rd Armored Division lost all its tanks. They had to retreat and give up their defense line."
"They don't have any tanks now... Haha... Yesterday's battle report... Both tanks were destroyed. The 3rd Armored Division has no tanks anymore! This is really a joke, hahaha, hahaha." Mirage Emperor said.
As he spoke, he started laughing. The laughter was full of bitterness and unwillingness, as well as madness and sadness. He really had loyal and brave soldiers, but in the face of a powerful enemy, all of this was of no avail.
Not only did the 3rd Armored Division completely become an infantry division, but the situation of the 1st Armored Division was not much better.
The high-intensity fighting caused the armored division's losses to a frightening level. There were only a few dozen tanks left in the entire armored division, and they lacked ammunition, lubricants, fuel and various parts.
These logistical deficiencies prevented one-third of the remaining tanks from joining the battle. Many times the soldiers of this armored division had to go to the destroyed tanks to find usable parts to replenish their numbers.
In order to save ammunition, tanks usually carry only half of the shells in the vehicle, so that after being destroyed, at least some losses can be reduced...
Because it is a defensive operation, the fuel in the tank should be kept as little as possible, which directly increases the anti-explosion ability of the goblin tank: there are often no shells in the tank, and there is not much fuel, so it cannot even burn.
Can you imagine the level of embarrassment? A tank is not at risk of exploding because it may not have a few shells... Now the survival rate of Mirage's tank crews is much higher than before.
After being hit, they had enough time to jump out of the vehicle and even pull out the injured crew members under the cover of their comrades. This allowed the officers and soldiers of the Mirage Armored Division to accumulate rich experience in jumping out of vehicles and escaping.
It's a pity that this experience is of little use, because the Mirage Kingdom no longer has enough tanks to supply them, allowing them to repeat the dangerous skill of jumping out of a vehicle to escape.
The 3rd Armored Division has now retreated to the Mirage City area, and has become an infantry division - in fact, it is not an infantry division at all. Their current strength is only about one reinforced regiment.
This is still a force that is always given priority to be replenished to stabilize it. If it weren't for their brave fighting style and the fact that they were deeply loved by the Mirage Emperor, they might have only one battalion left now.
Without the cover of the 3rd Armored Division on the flanks, the speed of the Mirage Army's peripheral defense line immediately increased several times. The 1st Armored Division was forced to retreat, and the defensive positions outside the Mirage City were basically occupied by the orcs.
Although Mirage City had been surrounded a long time ago, it was really and completely surrounded around the first day of December. This was probably the most desperate birthday gift that the Mirage King had ever received.
