The fingers of Dahino, Renault, and the Chief of Staff finally landed on one place: the Sanggan River War Zone - now the small mercenary group cluster has covered the Sanggan River War Zone from three directions: south, east, north, and south. As long as they can
If they seize the opportunity to kill Earl Rebaton's main army in one fell swoop, the entire Sanggan River War Zone will surely surrender without a fight. The officers all still remember that half a year ago, when everyone was focusing on the upcoming Sanggan River Double Battle,
When the king was fighting, the small mercenary group suddenly gathered all the dragon knights and fantasy beast knights to attack Earl Rebaton in the rain.
If this is really the case, then attacking Scambrae again is undoubtedly Amy's old trick.
The eyes of Renault, Dahino, and the Chief of Staff were filled with the wisdom of seeing through the enemy's next attack target at a glance, and a happy smile appeared on his face at the same time.
There is a well-known saying: "The ignorant are fearless." At this time, several giants in Scambrai City are obviously interpreting another meaning of this sentence.
What should be done next? In the end, Hai Shuai's proposal was recognized by everyone: "The greatest significance of the existence of Sanggan River back then was to defend the Chi Hantong cluster and later the Alcatraz Army to the south. Now, there is no strategic presence."
If necessary, when the small mercenary group finally stabilizes southern Xinjiang, it will definitely solve the internal Sanggan River War Zone first. In this case, it is better to simply abandon the Sanggan River War Zone and order General Rebaton to lead the main force, take a boat or go north
Incorporate into the Scambre War Zone, or go south into the southeastern base camp, which can preserve a fresh force. In order to avoid encountering a small mercenary group of dragon knights from the air on the road, it is recommended to send His Highness Xiuda and General Yemoda to escort you all the way.
.As for the upcoming siege force, it is very likely that there will be less than 10,000 elite troops. Try to find the right opportunity to devour them in one fell swoop."
His Royal Highness Delaware, the former deputy prime minister of the empire, was the last to see this proposal. Giving up the Sanggan River would mean losing the only territory within his power. The old man in his fifties finally sighed softly: "As you all said,
willing."
That night, the two dragon knights Xiuda and Yemoda held the double troop deployment orders from the base camp and Lord Delaware, and drove the dragon southward along the west coast. This move eventually led to almost the entire regular army in the Sanggan River War Zone.
annihilated.
Because of all these connections, in later generations, a considerable proportion of pure military scientists believed that the theft of Yi Hailan's small porcelain vase was definitely a clever move arranged by Golden Brain Amy. It was this chess piece.
, activate every chess piece that Amy has laid out in the eight, nine, and ten years of the magic calendar. If you just believe in the official history and think that the theft was an accident, then you cannot explain the perfect layout.
Don’t even believe that whatever is wrong will go wrong—how could anyone be able to make mistakes so smoothly?
This is another kind of late-enlightenment wisdom that is in the eye of the beholder.
The news of the Horns Legion heading north has brought new troubles to An Qiu Sheng: there are more than a dozen towns in the surrounding area of Scambrai, and they are dragging their families to flee to Scambrai City - Chi Aotian in the seventh year of the magic calendar
The expeditionary force once implemented an iron-blooded policy against the original imperial residents in the plains north of the Sanggan River. The people in power in Scambrai repeatedly publicized the heinous brutal behavior of the small mercenary group on various occasions. Under such a premise, it is not difficult to
Understand the behavior of residents in surrounding towns.
In history, there are countless examples of people who disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into the city and eventually cooperated with the inside and outside. In order to avoid similar incidents from happening, Scambrai simply created a huge refugee area on the south side of the city, gathering all the refugees and the city of Scambrai.
Residents are isolated in refugee areas, and cities and villages are used as units. They are screened one by one, and the joint sitting method is implemented. Entry and exit are not allowed in the entire city.
Neither Marshal Dahino nor Emperor Renault of Myanmar had ever thought of rejecting these refugees. In Dahino's eyes, these refugees were undoubtedly the best people to defend the city in the future. As the Central Holy King, it was impossible for His Majesty Renault to do so.
Refuse the help of people all over the world.
An Qiusheng used three days to sprinkle the remaining leveling green powder on dozens of Fanos silver humans. However, he himself was trapped in the refugee area as an unidentified outsider, and the situation was very unstable.
From time to time, pseudo-officers came in with the residents of the imperial capital to correct them, and people were constantly being taken away - of course from two different exits, which obviously led to heaven and hell respectively.
Fortunately, the total number of unidentified persons would not be less than 40,000. The process of correcting each one one by one was relatively long, and the area he was in was relatively remote. During the few days he was imprisoned, An Qiu Sheng learned about Horns from other people's mouths.
The deputy commander is leading the troops north. So Commander Amy has agreed with his opinion. However, it is definitely impossible to hope that the deputy commander will save him now. As a last resort, An Qiu Sheng used the dragon flute in the middle of the night to save him.
The dragon was summoned from dozens of miles away. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man turned over and jumped on the dragon's back. At the same time, he commanded the dragon to send a series of dragon breath balls to the military camp outside the screening area to identify other unidentified persons trapped in the area.
Take this opportunity to leave in a hurry.
By the time Marshal Dahino and Renault were awakened from their dreams by the roar of the dragon and the cry of killing, the giant bald-tailed dragon had already swung dozens of miles away.
Could it be that...the small mercenary group really cares about Scambray this time? The two superiors had the same idea floating in their minds. Otherwise, how could they send dragon knights to do the scouting work? If this is the case, then there is no way
The two dragon knights should be sent out... Sigh... Facing Amy, a little fox, is really a frustrating thing.
It's a pity that any parallel world has all kinds of medicines, but there is no precious medicine called "regret".
The next day, regarding the matter of the dragon knight scouts, several of the most powerful people in Scambrai held a special meeting to analyze and analyze the area. Seven or eight possibilities were listed, each of which was possible.
None of them were possible. In the end, the commander-in-chief put forward an eight-word principle: "be cautious and wait and see what changes." He also proposed expanding the reserve force. Scambrai previously had more than 200,000 reserve forces. On this basis, he
An additional 100,000 reserves will be organized among the young refugees. Once an urban offensive and defensive war really breaks out, these new 100,000 reserves will be fully deployed in the first batch.
Renault would never have imagined that Marshal Dahino would actually kill someone with a borrowed knife. The old marshal saw through the young emperor's blue eyes and gave a faint bitter smile: "Your Highness, if we really encounter an offensive and defensive battle, we can only stimulate it with the help of their flesh and blood."
The fighting spirit of the refugees, and only if the refugees have the determination to fight to the death, will we not have to worry that excessive casualties may cause mutations among the indigenous people of Scambrae."
At this time, instead of blaming the old marshal, it is better to blame your own conscience.
The young emperor let out a deep sigh in his heart. From the moment this war began, everything became uncertain. Everything could no longer be measured by common sense. War is really an institution of higher learning for rapid development of human nature. Only those who are molded successfully
Only those who have the honor to leave, and everything in this school is built on the bones of losers.
In order to prepare for the possible offensive and defensive battle, Dahino sent out all the Phantom Beast Knights and Flying Knights to monitor the Horns Army and the two hundred miles surrounding Scambrai day and night.
More detailed information was sent back one after another. First of all, Horns' command was really an elite force, at least twenty to thirty thousand people - the last time Horns sent his troops north, his command was mainly mercenaries, and some farmers were also involved.
The scouts can be fooled, but this time they are all regular imperial troops and more than half are from the Colorful Dragon Knights. The standard armor weapons of the regular army, especially the equipment of the elite cavalry troops, cannot be mixed with a drop of water at all; secondly, Horns' advance is not fast.
, Strictly follow the marching regulations of the Imperial Military Department, march one pavilion per day, and one pavilion is sixty miles. According to this speed, it will take at least more than 20 days to march to the gate of Scambrai City. Does this violate the common sense of using troops quickly? Thirdly
What's even more strange is that as the Horns Legion marched, they forcibly recruited all doctors and priests.
What are these guys in the small mercenary group going to do? Is the purpose of recruiting doctors and priests really to prepare for the storming of the imperial capital? The whole Scambrai is puzzled, and while they are puzzled, the plague...
...flowing quietly under their noses.
Those who can be called the plague have three characteristics in common:
First of all, the routes of infection are diverse and can be rapidly cross-infected through physical contact, air flow in breathing, daily utensils, etc.;
Secondly, the outbreak is rapid and violent, extremely deadly, and there is no specific medicine. The mortality rate of infected people is as high as 50% or even higher;
Third, the incubation period is long. The longer the incubation time, the more terrifying it is. No matter how deadly an infectious disease is, if the incubation period is only a few days, it cannot be considered a plague in the true sense.
On the twelfth day after An Qiu Sheng left Scambrai, the first signs of the plague appeared: the first patient was a centurion named Fu Chu. The only shortcoming of this poor werewolf officer in this life was that he had a kinder appearance, and
It was precisely because of this that An Qiu Sheng took a fancy to him on the street, and he pretended to be a mistaken person and patted his shoulder on the street.
In the first few days, the patient had a fever all over his body, especially at the latest time, but it was normal during the day. Such symptoms were very similar to a cold, and spring is exactly the season when colds are most popular. In addition, the continent of Fanos is hot all year round.
, but Scambrai is in the temperate zone, with a large temperature difference. Therefore, in the past few years, as long as spring comes, colds are generally popular in the military camp. The two doctors were not surprised at all, and just prescribed a medicine to treat colds.
Not to mention, this potion had an immediate effect. After taking it, the temperature of the patient's body dropped quickly. However, after two days, the temperature of the patient's body rose again.
Time is passing by minute by minute, and every minute, every patient is in contact with other soldiers unknowingly.
On the morning of the 21st, two chiefs under the centenarian tent of Fuchu hurriedly invited several doctors from the barracks. Just last night, large lumps suddenly appeared all over Fuchu's body, each one a centimeter in diameter.
It was blood red in color and extremely itchy. I scratched it all night. Except for the back, all the other bumps were scratched and yellow and red pus leaked out.
There was a gap of tens of millions of years between the War of Demons and the War of Gods. Unless they were history professors from major universities, no one could remember that a large-scale plague broke out in the early days of the War of Demons. The four doctors faced such a difficult disease.
Feeling worried, I finally invited two high-level priests from the camp. The two priests continuously chanted healing, double healing, moonlight, rejuvenation and other known healing sacred magics. Unfortunately...
…There is no sign of improvement at all.
The doctors decided to isolate and treat Centenarian Fuchu first, and assign special personnel to monitor him - only officers above Centenary had such rights.
On March 27, spring of the ninth year of the Magical Calendar, nine cases exactly the same as those of the Centurion appeared in Scambrae City in one day, and more than half of them were middle- and low-level officers. Until this time, the doctors still did not pay attention to it—
—After all, no one is dead yet.
Four days later, Centurion Fuchu died of illness with pus flowing all over his body. On the same night, three other soldiers exhaled their last breath in the same posture, and during the same period, more than two hundred soldiers had fever.
It was only at this time, in January of the summer of the ninth year of the Magical Calendar, that several attending physicians and priests at the Scambrai Military Camp officially reported to the Legion Commander, His Excellency Merlin—that there might have been an infectious disease or...plague in the military camp.
Seeing the word "plague", Marshal Dahino, Emperor Burmese Yang, His Royal Highness Delaware, and His Royal Highness the Holy Son had cold hands and feet! Almost at the same time, they remembered the previous intelligence: the Horns Legion went all the way north and forcibly recruited doctors and priests.
For one thing, the four superiors absolutely do not believe that there is no inevitable connection between the two.
At this time, the Northern Expedition led by Horns was less than 400 miles away from Scambrai City. On the same day, the dwarf warhammer troops sent by the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom were only more than 500 miles away from Scambrai City.
After learning about the plague in Scambrai City, the Northern Expedition and the dwarf troops suddenly launched their force. On January 7, 2017, 4,600 cavalry from the Light Knight Brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights drank their horses in Beihai Lake. Two days later, the two legions were seventeen
Thousands of troops met at the foot of Scambrai City, and the alliance stretched from the southeast gate of Scambrai to the northwest gate, stretching for eighteen miles.
The second offensive and defensive battle of Scambrai, famous all over the world for its cruelty and bloodshed, has officially begun!
