Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west (Part 1)

Eastern Front, Northern Defense Area——

There was heavy snow falling in the sky, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow. When I stepped on it, I felt like half my body would sink into it.

There was a warm fire burning in the camp, and the soldiers put their hands that were blue with cold to the campfire and drank some hot water to warm their bodies.

The rebels who fought a painful battle with the Tula Republic were divided into more than a dozen organizations. This was like the eighteenth princes besieging Dong Zhuo. Although everyone wanted the Tula Republic to die, no one accepted the command authority.

.

Therefore, defenses are deployed separately according to the areas where the offensive may be launched. The general headquarters only discusses a general strategy. How to attack local areas later depends on the research of the resistance organization in charge of this area.

——This is also an important reason why they lose more and win less.

This can't be called a combination, it's just addition.

The person responsible for the defense of this hilly area is the Tianping Society.

Although the Scales also freed slaves like the Free Spark, they are still fundamentally different.

Liberty Spark pursues freedom and equality, while the Scales only pursues equality.

They believe that in this world, the more you work, the more you get. People should not be proud of their bloodline, but should be divided into classes based on their abilities.

The more capable you are and the more you contribute to society, the more resources you will be allocated, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with your origin. They pursue an absolute fairness that is close to an ideal.

This allowed the Tianping Society to gain a group of supporters from small and medium-sized businessmen and lower-class civilians. Although before everyone participated in the grand event, these guys who exploded could only be regarded as a civil society group, and they were explosions in the literal sense. They could carry out terrorist attacks.

The kind that comes with one hand.

In the camp, the commander was paying close attention to all the movements on the sand table.

The reconnaissance cavalry is dispatched at least twenty times every day, and at most close to fifty times, to keep an eye on the troop movements of the Republic of Tula at all times to prevent sneak attacks by them.

You will see that the blue flags representing friendly forces are almost in a line on the sand table, while the red flags representing enemy forces are scattered on the other side, seemingly unsystematic.

Everyone can see that this is the result of their failure to thoroughly investigate the enemy's movements. When it comes to fighting, the generals of the Republic of Tula are better than these guys who are all from soldiers to commanders.

There are so many of them, their numbers are not superior, and it is impossible to use such a loose formation.

It is very important to understand the enemy's troop layout. At least you can know where the opponent's center of attack is, so you can adopt targeted strategies.

In the current situation, although the rebels have a numerical advantage, in fact, because they don't know when and where to launch the attack, the rebels' numerical advantage is actually dispersed.

Of course, this is not the biggest problem. As long as the Republic of Tula launches an offensive, the rebels can still call in friendly forces for support if they cannot withstand it.

The biggest problem right now is this damn snow.

It doesn't snow in most areas of the Republic of Tula. Even though they are located relatively far north, throughout history there have only been a handful of snowfalls, and they were only scattered small snowflakes.

But now, the heavy snowfall makes people wonder if they have been transported to the snowfield in the far north, and it has been snowing for seven days without any sign of stopping.

The commander knew very well that this was magic.

The wind and snow seriously affected the morale and physical strength of the soldiers. Since they had no experience in fighting low temperatures, they didn't even have thick tents or any cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold when the heavy snow fell.

Wo has sent a large amount of things to keep out the cold. I am afraid that the resistance forces will be hit a big hole just because of the weather.

People who have never seen snow go to fight in the North, just like people who have never been on a ship go to engage in naval battles, as if they have been severely weakened by debuffs.

"General! There's something going on. An enemy legion is leaving the fortress and heading in our direction!"

"Sure enough, it's here..."

Although the general does not understand magic, he also knows that using magic to make snow for seven days requires a huge consumption of magic power. It is unlikely that the Republic of Tula will continue to consume like this forever. Their material supplies are even tighter than those of the resistance.

"Tell the soldiers to stand up and line up, and immediately send out fast horses to notify nearby friendly forces for assistance."

"yes!"

The messenger left, and the general put on his armor. Before leaving the tent, he glanced at the sand table again. For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

As early as when the heavy snow fell, the leaders of the resistance army held a meeting to discuss the time for the Republic of Tula to launch an offensive. They judged based on factors such as the number of mages and supplies in the Republic of Tula, as well as the extent to which their own soldiers were affected.

It will be in 7~10 days.

As expected, the Republic of Tula finally took action on the seventh day.

The wind and snow seemed to have no intention of stopping, but in three years, a group of straw sandal soldiers turned into a group of real veterans, and they quickly assembled to prepare for the attack at the command of an order.

The general stood on a slightly higher hillside and looked into the depths of the wind and snow with his binoculars.

The snow was still too heavy and I couldn't see much.

But mixed in with the whistling wind, there was a clear drum beat, getting closer and closer.

At this time, the violent snowstorm dispersed slightly, and a group of soldiers wearing black and red armor and holding swords emerged from the dissipating snow like a nightmare.

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

In short, let’s do a round of firepower coverage first.

Following the order, the arrows rose into the sky like dark clouds, drawing an arc and flying toward the vanguard of the Tula Republic.

But at this time, as if on purpose, a gust of wind came, and the arrows flying into the air became slower and slower, and finally fell down weakly. Occasionally, one or two arrows fell on the side of the soldiers of the Republic of Tula.

Completely unable to cause any damage.

"Raise your shield now!"

As soon as the order was issued, the wind and snow in the distance dissipated, revealing a neat phalanx of crossbowmen, and a dense rain of arrows immediately struck in the direction of the rebels.

This time there was no strong wind to disrupt the situation, and the arrows fell smoothly into the rebel formation. Although they had raised their shields in advance, many people still fell down.

The rebels have a large number of people and a brave will to fight, but there is a big gap in their equipment.

However, this loss could not even be considered as a greeting, and the general still did not give the order to advance.

He stared at the distance of the wind and snow with his binoculars until after the two rounds of arrow rain ended, he saw that the sky suddenly cleared of wind and snow, and the black army appeared at the other end of the field of vision.

That's right, this is not a feint!

"Pioneer, come forward!"

The rebel soldiers, who had been beaten twice before they could beheaded, had already been waiting for orders and immediately moved towards the approaching Tula Republic army in neat steps.

Both sides beat the drums with their military drums and maintained their formation as they approached each other, giving the impression of a platoon of gunfire.

If a swarm of swarms rushes forward, that's not called fighting, that's fighting.

In this world, the most important attribute for an army to fight is not equipment, will, or the right time and place.

But cooperate.

Only tacit cooperation can stimulate the effectiveness of military formations and achieve comprehensive increases in troops.

The origin of the military formation is unclear. It is similar to the magic formation, but its history is much older than magic.

Before contact, the two sides competed in will.

When groups of heavily armed and murderous soldiers approach in neat steps, the sense of oppression is very strong. New recruits and those who are not determined will likely fall into panic, or even simply flee without fighting.

.

However, the resistance forces here are basically veterans who have been trained in battle, so they will not disrupt their formation just because of this panic.

The dazzling aura connected to every soldier as the military formation expanded, and at this time the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

At this time, the drum beat on the Tula Republic side changed, and the soldiers in black and red armor immediately changed their formation, like a person spreading his arms, with both wings trying to surround the rebels.

This is actually a mistake. The number of vanguard troops of the Republic of Tula is smaller than that of the rebels, so the encirclement situation is not conducive to the performance of the military formation.

It's like wrapping a ball in a piece of paper. Let's not talk about whether it can be wrapped. Even if it is wrapped, there is no way to eat it.

Under normal circumstances, both sides maintain their formations, colliding like tops, and then decide whether to invest more troops based on the situation and the general's judgment.

These soldiers in black and red armor are the elite of the Republic of Tula, and they are also old rivals. Considering the current tight situation of soldiers in the Republic of Tula, it is certainly impossible for those who command the elite to be useless, and it would be very distressing to lose one of them.

But such a tactic is an obvious mistake...

The rebel army's military drums also followed, and they held the iron barrel formation.

The two sides fought hand to hand, and the resistance soldiers fell quickly, but they were quickly replenished. The soldiers on both sides were as precise as machines. There were no meaningless shouts, but only silent slashes and precise cooperation. During the hunting operation,

Amidst the roar of the wind, cruel sharp blades roared towards him.

By this time, the heavy snow had completely stopped, and the dark clouds were even showing signs of dispersing. The general, who was wondering what kind of plane the Tula Republic was planning, immediately heard noisy shouts of killing.

The central troops of the Tula Republic Army rushed towards the vanguard in the fierce battle like a bunch of grass, with no formation at all and no system at all.

Logically speaking, one could tell at this glance that the army was definitely a ragtag army and they should not be afraid of it. However, the rebels immediately felt a thump in their hearts.

Bad, fell into a trap!

The army that Tian Ping faced was almost all conscripts, with only a small amount of training or no training at all. They only launched the Mad Dog Charge at the urging of the Supervisory Team.

The most troublesome thing is that the troops of the Tianping Society are dragged in place by them.

"Send a message to friendly forces immediately, quickly!"

The central army of the resistance army also pressed forward, but they were far more well-trained than the conscripts who rushed over with strange screams.

But if their side is feigning an attack, where is the main force of the Tula Republic?

Where will you choose as a breakthrough point?

There is no point in simply finishing the current battle. If other places are broken through by the Republic of Tula, the army of the Tianping Society will probably be directly sacked.
