Section 24 Clearance
"Sit and wait for death? Well, that's great. Now our posture is so good that we can be called waiting for death. We can't get any news on the Western Front at this moment, and the logistics supplies are about to be exhausted. Hehe, we Tanghe people have a saying that blind people ride blind horses and are approaching the deep pond in the middle of the night. The situation is like this. I wonder if it's our current portrayal?" Long Zixing shrugged himself with a ridiculous look on his face.
Seeing that Mu Long and the others were both troubled by the logistical supply lock, Xiong Daoyuan sat in the chair next to him in frustration, muttering to himself: "Are we really stuck here like this and doing nothing? At least we have to find a way to take a try."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Our logistics supply problem is very troublesome now, but we are guarding here, the heavy cavalry of the Kamans have never been able to achieve the best advantage, and our heavy infantry have also suffered a lot. I believe their head coach has also had a headache. How to break the current deadlock is not just to bother us, but the Kamans are also trying to find a way. But we are not clear about the situation on Lord Li on the Western Front. How to make the battle progress is crucial to what measures should we take. It seems that it will take a day or two before news will come." Mulige cheered up and cheered the two of them.
"Haha, if Lord Li can make a breakthrough on the Western Front, it is worth it even if we are here. But don't let us stay here for a month or two, then we will really trap us here." Long Zixing also agreed half-jokingly, hoping to ease the gloomy atmosphere.
"Well, I'm thinking, as long as Lord Li can defeat the Kaman people on the Western Front, our siege will be resolved sooner or later. Even if the men pay the price, they are willing." Xiong Daoyuan was full of confidence and admiration for Li Wufeng. As half of Gao Yue people, he also inherited the character of Gao Yue people and had a blind admiration for Li Wufeng.
"Well, our losses are certainly not small, but the Kamans are also deeply damaged. Hehe, war has to pay the price. If the Kamans think they can easily take us down, then they are very wrong. There is no such good thing in the world!" Mulige's face became extremely solemn at this moment, and an extremely confident aura slowly surged out of him.
After receiving the news, Dominic's teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clang and fell to pieces. His face turned pale in an instant, and his hands were firmly holding the table, as if he was about to support his overwhelmed body. He couldn't speak for a long time, and he could only hear heavy breathing sounds in the entire tent.
"Have the situation been confirmed?" The hoarse voice was different from the confident tone in his tone just now. Dominic slowly raised his head and asked after a long time.
"Sir, it has been confirmed. The situation stated by more than a dozen soldiers who were lucky enough to escape are basically the same, and there is not much difference. Viscount Sergey is now missing." The adjutant lowered his head and his voice was low.
"The entire army was wiped out? Li Wufeng, it's a good move to surround and fight for help." As if talking to himself, and as if talking to someone, Dominic took a long breath. His left thumb and middle finger pressed his temples on both sides of his head, relieving the tension and boredom in his heart. What should we do? It can be imagined that the enemy will either immediately pounce down and annihilate the remaining tens of thousands of troops, or will continue to go north to take down Jiama City in one fell swoop. Both of these results are something I don't want to see, but now I can't protect myself. What else can I do?
Dominic lamented. The task assigned to him by Lord Miley seemed difficult to complete. Now he had achieved such a result in just a few days. How should he explain to Lord Miley? Looking out of the tent, Dominic shook his head, and there was no need to think too much. The only thing he should do now is to report to Lord Miley immediately and ask him to make a decision. Before that, he could only do his best to preserve the remaining tens of thousands of living powers.
The huh hut sounded again, which was the sound of withdrawing troops and returning to the camp. Miley stood at the high place and silently stared at the front line. The sunset was setting, and a faint golden light enveloped the entire battlefield, indicating that the bloody day was about to end. Another day passed, and he returned to nothing. He had been here for a week. These guys were really tenacious. They could withstand the repeated impact of their iron-armed cavalry without disintegrating, and also caused considerable losses to their iron-armed cavalry. Thinking of this, Miley couldn't help but feel a little painful. These are the most elite heavy-armed cavalry in the empire. How much effort and money does it take for each successful training one.
With a slight frowning, Miley's silver hair looked even more elegant under the setting sun, her deep eyes were flowing, but she didn't say anything. Li Wufeng really brought the nature of these Gao Yue barbarians to the fullest. Her strong body and extremely powerful characteristics are actually the best choice for heavy infantrymen. With a spear and a halberd and a heavy shield, she was as powerful as her cavalry, which also suffered a big loss.
However, the art of war lies in the final outcome. No matter how brave and tenacious they are, they always belong to the defensive side. Defense means passive, and the best defense is offense. Although they rely on the advantages of geographical advantages and heavy infantry to withstand their attacks, the initiative side can rely on the advantage of cavalry to force the opponent to retreat in the camp and unable to retreat. The victory or defeat is already a matter of time left.
But how long can they last? Logically speaking, according to the information and common sense they have obtained, there should be very little food left in these guys in front of them. Without food, it is unlikely that you will be a harem cast by iron and copper. Miley narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his eyes thoughtfully. I hope Dominic will not let himself down. As long as you survive this period of time, everything will be fine.
However, it seemed that the change of things was not due to his will. Before he could withdraw his troops and return to the camp, a fast horse had already rushed over. Although Miley looked from a distance, his face had not changed, and a bad premonition hovered in his heart.
Back in the camp, Miley's face turned gloomy, and he received two urgent messages on his face, one more and another, which made people feel depressed. He tossed and turned alone in the coach's tent, and the situation in front of him seemed to have suddenly turned around. His side, who was originally sure to win, suddenly fell into a quagmire. If he didn't thrust his feet quickly, what was the ending he was waiting for? Even Miley himself had no idea.
The Prime Minister's urgent matters were still there. It seemed that the nobles in the court were already impatient to raise objections to the Prime Minister's policies through this rebellion in the barbarians. Moreover, it seemed that His Majesty the Emperor also supported those nobles this time. Could it be that he was really born in a mess? All kinds of complicated things in Miley's mind suddenly emerged.
Originally, the rebellion of the Barbarians was not a new thing. The empire has always adopted the means of equal importance to suppression and pacification, and has always limited Bai Yinren to the wasteland north of the empire and could not cross the line. Although Bai Yinren was brave, he had never caused such a large-scale riot. In addition, these nobles in China would not easily conflict with the Prime Minister and the military, but now they seem to be far beyond their imagination. Not only did the nobles unite and put pressure on the Prime Minister, but even the attitude of His Majesty, who has always tended to Prime Minister, has become strange. What is the secret in the middle?
Could it be that His Majesty’s trust in the prime minister has changed or that his actions no longer conform to His Majesty’s wishes? Thinking of this, Miley, who was as quiet as a mountain, couldn’t help but shiver. This is not a small problem. He has been in the imperial court for decades and knew the cruelty of political struggles. If the opinions of His Majesty and the prime minister conflicted, the continuity of the entire imperial policy will eventually be affected. He did not dare to think deeply. As an orthodox soldier of the empire, he did not want to get involved in the political struggle in the empire’s court, but he also clearly realized that the prime minister today may be the only hope to realize the revitalization of the empire. You can clearly know the development of the empire’s national strength in the past decade after the Prime Minister took charge of the empire’s government.
But His Majesty the Emperor has been trusting the Prime Minister for more than ten years. How could he suddenly change his attitude and become agile this time? Otherwise, those hateful nobles would not dare to be so rampant. This series of problems tangled in Miley's mind, which made Miley very upset. Dominic, this idiot, actually got fooled by others and lost his fighting opportunity in vain. There are only 40,000 people left now. How can he resist the offensive of Li Wufeng's army? If he doesn't return immediately, the remaining troops will really be fully in the army.
After breathing a long sigh, Miley reluctantly took her eyes from the enemy camp surrounded by him. It was a pity. As long as you give yourself another month, you can definitely wipe out all these guys. Unfortunately, things can change quickly, and maybe there will be no such opportunity again in the future. However, the domestic situation is unpredictable, and the remaining troops are in danger. He really cannot be indifferent anymore. Well, as long as the domestic situation is stabilized, everything can be started again and there will always be a chance.
On June 15, 696, the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Kaman army, who had been besieging the three divisions of the South Front Northwest Army for nearly half a month, suddenly returned to the city of Morlington. After a slight conflict with the Northwest Army that annihilated 40,000 Caman army, both sides broke away from the battlefield. That night, the main force of the Kaman army did not stop after merging with Dominic's left-behind headquarters and returned north at night. The Northwest Army led by Li Wufeng did not pursue it, but stationed on the spot and entered the city of Morlington. The siege of Morlington was confessed.
