Chapter 742
"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

After a round of magical strikes, the imperial army finally came to their senses after suffering heavy casualties.

The earth mages set up their defenses immediately, the word spirit mages and wind mages began to lock the position of the rebel army, and the fire mages also began to chant magic, preparing to fight back.

However, it is obviously impossible for the rebel army who took the lead to give the imperial army a chance.

When the magic strike started, the ordinary troops were ready to go. Once the magic strike was over, the ordinary troops started a chaotic battle while the enemy's troops were still unable to organize a defensive formation.

In order to prepare for the unprepared.

As soon as the imperial army organized a defensive formation, it was immediately dispersed.

In order not to accidentally injure friendly troops, magicians dare not release range magic anymore, and have become melee combat units like professionals.

This is a long time.

The condescending rebel army easily found the position of the commander.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy, the commander was beheaded in less than half an hour, and the end of the war was announced within five hours, and because of the terrain here, none of the seven thousand imperial troops could escape and were all killed. captive.

The imperial army originally thought that they could surrender without killing.

Because killing prisoners of war has always been a taboo thing for all countries in the mainland. Once this kind of thing is exposed, the next time you face the enemy, the enemy will not surrender. At that time, the one who will lose more in the last stand will be the one who does not accept the surrender now.

It's a pity that things have to be done in a hurry.

Under the current situation, it is obvious that there is no extra time and energy to receive prisoners of war. Coverdale cruelly issued an order not to stay, and finally buried a total of [-] lives in this small canyon.

"Can we really make it?"

Coverdale asked a little nervously: "If we are exposed in the city, we will be surrounded by the enemy immediately. I am afraid that no one will be able to escape by then. We are playing with fire."

Bring back the corpse.

This is the strategy Vegar gave Coverdale.

This strategy is to kill the imperial army troops who came to transport supplies, and then put on the uniforms of the imperial army. With the help of their numbers, pretend that this army breaks through the first and second defense lines without bloodshed, and directly destroys the enemy. All supplies.

It is self-evident how dangerous this strategy is.

As long as the imperial inspection is a little stricter, they can be easily spotted.

But judging from the dereliction of duty of the various departments in the rear, it is obviously impossible to be too strict, so this scene of lending the corpse to return the soul must have a 60.00% success rate.Tricks and tricks have a success rate of 60.00%, which is already very high.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

Coverdale asked questions, and he was still faithfully advancing the plan.

Soldiers are very fast.

That night, Vegar and Coverdale brought the army to Jersey Town.

boom.

A flare went up into the sky.

This is a signal obtained from the Yan family's interrogation at the prisoner's place. As long as this green signal flare is fired, the soldiers in the city will know that the army transporting food is coming, and after a little questioning, they will open the city gate and let them go.

Coverdale was starting to get a little nervous.

He warned himself not to be nervous, once the truth is exposed, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"It's the transport team coming, open the door."

Everything went smoother than Coverdale had imagined, the defenders didn't even need to interrogate, and opened the city gate directly.

This is also a preconceived reason.

For more than half a year, every three days at the same time in the evening, a convoy came. At first they would question them strictly, but later they found that this was a meaningless move.After one, two, or dozens of times, as long as the signal flare is fired, it will be released directly, and only when the superior officer inspects, will he occasionally be strictly interrogated.

Inertia is a scary thing.

No one doubted that although the military uniforms of this army were still those of the empire, and the numbers were still being made up, the entire army had their souls replaced and became an enemy who wanted their lives.

Da da da--

With a nervous mood, everyone stepped into the city.

According to the map given by the scouts and the information obtained from the captives, Coverdale led the army towards the logistics warehouse. The patrols were densely packed along the way, but unfortunately, none of them suspected the disguise of the rebels.

This may be the darkness under the lights.

The soldiers guarding the city believed in their long-term experience, and the patrol guards in the city trusted the troops defending the city. This caused no one to notice the abnormality of the rebel army, allowing them to sneak into the warehouse.

"Your Majesty, this is it."

Coverdale looked at the logistics warehouses that were neatly scattered, one after another, and the end could not be seen with the naked eye, and said: "Although according to the rules, we can stay here for one night, and the commander of the garrison here will entertain us, but it is too late. Once it is exposed at the dinner tonight, it will be too late for regrets, why don't we act directly now."

Vega thought for a moment.

Then he nodded and said: "Although the success rate of sneak attacks in the second half of the night is higher, as your Excellency said, such a long period of time has a great risk of exposure. I agree to start action now, but please be mentally prepared, Your Excellency."

"What mental preparation?"

"Psychological preparation for total annihilation."

Vega said without emotion: "Destroy everything here, you don't think we can break through with the army, do you? Don't have such illusions, there is a legion of the Imperial Army here, and I will protect it when the time comes." You leave here alone, as for the others, please don't be kind to women."

"Is there no other way?"

"To get something, you have to sacrifice something."

"I understand."

Coverdale made up his mind to exchange all the logistics of the Imperial Army with the destruction of the entire army.

"Command, the battle begins!"

Following Coverdale's order, the whole army launched an operation.

There are 2000 soldiers forming the first line of defense to stop the coming imperial army, and the remaining [-] people assist the fire mages and burn all the supplies here.

Strike first.

As the fire mage chanted, fireballs shot out one after another, igniting the oil room.

boom boom-

The explosion resounded through the sky.

With dry firewood and fuel, the flames spread rapidly.

At this time, the wind mage took the opportunity to exert his strength, and the fire swept away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a distance, billowing thick smoke can be seen rising from the entire area where supplies are hoarded. According to this trend, as long as the rebels can stop the fire for six hours, and the fire is too large to be extinguished, the war has already been won. .

And six hours is not difficult for the prepared rebels.

This war can be said to have been won here. If the rebels in the city of war operate well, it is even possible to keep Foster's million-strong army here. Housman's strategy is indeed a winning strategy. , rather than a strategy to retreat from the enemy.
