Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 846 Preemptive Strike
Central Army Provisional Headquarters.

Commander-in-Chief Werther was wearing golden armor, and his face was so solemn that he seemed to be facing the choice of life and death.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Now he is not sure whether the move of the Southern Allied Forces is a feint or a general attack.

If it is a general attack, it means that the opponent does not want the rear area along the coast. It is really a desperate attempt. Once the expected effect is not achieved, it may never turn around.

But if it's a feint attack, who are they holding back?
Or in other words, what kind of existence is qualified to allow the Southern United Army's more than 60 regular troops to make a feint?
The sudden change in the situation in the south was quickly reported back to the Imperial Army, but before the military order from the Chief of Military Affairs Frey was issued, Witte was already impatient.

Werther's blond hair was shining with the same noble color as Wei Na and Nanfeng, he said loudly to the orderly.

"Pass my order, abandon the city currently occupied, and move the whole army eastward, and it is bound to stop the enemy army in the Hongsha Plain!"

"Yes!"

Hesitation flashed in his eyes, and Werther spoke again.

"Wait a moment."

The orderly stopped immediately and turned around to salute.

"General."

"At the same time, notify the Imperial Army to request the mobilization of the Northern Military Region to the eastern border and prepare to intercept the Southern Allied Forces."

"Yes."

After all, Witte did not choose the high-risk and high-yield "buying bottom", but chose the double interception that is as stable as an old dog.

Not only did the entire Central Army rush to the east to face it head-on, but at the same time, for safety, he also asked the Northern Military Region to take action.

As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, is Witte's approach very cowardly?

maybe.

But the Goddess of Victory is never particularly fond of reckless gamblers.

Whether to counsel or gamble depends on whether the parties are willing to lose or not. If there is a more perfect way to deal with it, and there is a joint tactic that does not lose a car or a soldier, then why gamble.

From Werther's point of view, although the Southern United Army is as powerful as a rainbow, there is still a gap in combat effectiveness compared with the elite Central Army among the elite of the empire.

More than half of the coalition forces of nearly 65 people are foreign troops, and only the 30 people in the Southern Military Region really dare to face death.

Moreover, different countries have different equipment styles, and the military training received by individuals is also different, so the cooperation in actual combat will have an impact.

Werther is confident enough to intercept this "nonsense army" on the Hongsha Plain, and then defend and counterattack in a conservative manner. When the Northern Military Region reaches the junction, they can work together to annihilate it.

Of course, doing so will abandon the southern cities already occupied by the south west direction, but if the main force of the enemy army is eliminated, the entire south will already be in the bag.

Witte didn't think there was anything on the other side that could threaten the northern part of the empire other than the southern coalition forces.

Infected people are gathering in Shengdi City. Of course he knows this information. As a member of the royal family, Werther did not underestimate the power of infected people. It must be terrifying to let his intelligent sister order to expel them.

However, it is not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2 if you want to assemble infected people with varying individual qualities into an army.

Werther had prepared for the worst. He assumed that Xia Feng could gather 50 infected people in such a short period of time. If so, the north would still be safe.

The military department has already mobilized reserve soldiers early. At this time, the central army deep into the south is the main force, but in the north, the empire has recruited nearly 40 central army reserve soldiers.

Reserve soldiers are all veterans who have retired within 3 years. They have excellent military qualities, have experienced hundreds of battles, and are extremely loyal to the empire.

Although not as flexible as active duty, as long as you pick up a weapon, you are no different from the regular army.

Infected who unleash Originium arts are strong in small-scale conflicts, but they can never stand up to regular armies in large-scale wars.

Werther knew very well how much food and grass would be consumed every day to gather 50 people, and the number of the Southern Allied Forces was already 65, so the 50 infected people he estimated for Xia Feng was already an "overrun" forecast.

Werther firmly believes that the real number of infected people should be around 30, and every day that passes, some infected people will choose to leave due to illness, hunger, fear of fighting, and other reasons.

Witte thinks so.

In this way, the Southern Allied Forces issued the ultimate order to attack the entire army, capture Nolan City, and step into the Red Sand Plain.

At the same time, the Central Army also issued an order for the entire army to move eastward and face an all-out battle on the Hongsha Plain.

In the history of Terra in the past few decades, it is almost rare for the total number of battles to exceed one million.

Because of the pre-emptive march, the Southern Allied Forces arrived in Nolan City one step earlier.

This medium-sized city has experienced several wars before and after, and the residents in the city have fled in sevens and eighties. The only remaining part of the people thought in their hearts, "I have fought so many times, I will not fight again, no, no Bar."

It is not advisable to take chances. When they saw that Nolan City was broken by 65 troops, and the whole city was submerged in the murderous torrent of steel, their faces turned pale.

There was no suspense in this city battle. Seeing the black sea of ​​people on the horizon, they clearly felt that the ground was trembling.

The 800 soldiers of the Central Army stationed in Nolan City stood directly at the top of the city and raised the white flag.

The Southern Allied Forces took Nolan City effortlessly. After that, the supply line starting from the coastal area began to operate immediately.

With Nolan City as the rear front, the Southern Allied Forces will soon step into the Red Sand Plain ahead and start a race against the Central Army that is rushing from the west.

Although General Aumon is old, his military command ability has not slackened in the slightest. He has imagined that if he is the enemy's command, no matter what the difference in strength, he will definitely adopt a defensive posture to fight.

At that time, the battle situation will fall into a stalemate, and the fight will be about endurance, and whether the opponent's supplies are sufficient will also become the breakthrough point for both sides.

At this moment, the Central Army has moved its entire army to the east, and at the same time, Yinhui finally sent an exciting piece of good news.

Ganan City has been captured.

According to the intelligence, Yinhui claimed that Ganan City has been fully occupied, all resistance forces have been eliminated, the supply warehouse in the city has been found, and some of his people have advanced northward, intending to completely cut off the supply line from the north.

After hearing the news, General Ormon couldn't believe it, as were the generals Sami and Sargon.

Even if the entire army of the Central Army moves eastward, a strategically important city like Ganan City will definitely have sufficient defensive troops, the purpose is to prevent surprise attacks by small army troops.

However, Yinhui attacked with such a fast speed, so fast that it seemed to walk in directly from the city gate, which was amazing.

General Ormon didn't know what method Yinhui used to attack the city, but now that the battle is tense, Yinhui is a trustworthy ally, and it is absolutely impossible to lie about it.

Before the decisive battle on the Red Sand Plain began, one leg of the Central Army had been broken. This is definitely a huge advantage!
