Chapter 820: Big roundabout

When the attack began, it came suddenly and brutally-not one village was invaded or a dozen, but dozens of hundreds of villages, outposts and farms.
This assault has such a rapid, coordinated and brutal nature that, to those far away from the front line, the only sign that appears is silence.
This kind of silence is like the entire region was dug out of the empire's territory. Death came so completely and suddenly that they couldn't even scream, even shout to their neighbors for help in painful struggles. .
The apocalypse that came to the edge of the rainforest near the province of Gramatia was so rapid that even after the war, the true scale of the attack could not be confirmed.
The fate of the closely guarded Harrow post, the fate of the border colonies Pat, Catri, and Beru, the fate of the coastal town of Eritz and the fate of the ancient Abonong University, and more than 60 other human settlements Little is known about the fate of points, except that the intruders came, and then they fell into silence.
The first warning sent was from a fishing boat called an iron spoon.
When it appeared outside Tyre Harbor, it burned from the bow to the stern as if it had been plowed by a nail harrow.
Those who saw the alarm were shocked and unbelievable, but as the surviving fishermen reported the atrocities they saw on the coast and the strange fleet cruising on the sea, everything became very clear.
Oak launched an attack from another direction, from a direction that would never be noticed.
On the west side of Tyre, near the Waka rainforest, an area called Yanze, blocked by many rivers and tidal flats, has been regarded as a west barrier for provinces since ancient times because it was not conducive to large-scale marches.
So how did these Oaks pass through this area?
No one knows the answer.
The local militias were mobilized, and the fleet outside Tyre was ordered to concentrate, and the troops that were already gathering to support the front also quickly received new orders for redeployment.
As the capitals of the provinces united and mobilized to prepare for the battle, the increasingly severe difficulties in communications forced the empire to use manpower to pass information to those settlements that were still in the dark for the nightmare had arrived, and until the warning of these messengers Only then did the true scale of this offensive appear.
An entire Oak Army, intact and full of power, the Blood Army Axe Army.
But even at this time, the upper levels of the empire knew nothing about the nature of the raid-the authorities had not received any definite post-war reports, and the enemy's face remained unknown.
What's more tricky is that the battle in the Grand Canyon of Wittlier still did not end. The defenders did not repel the enemy as expected. The war became a terrifying tug-of-war. A large amount of manpower was put into this flesh grinding disc.
Until the launch of this new raid, the Imperial Army had already killed and wounded more than 150,000 people. This did not include "missing people", and the true loss of troops was conservatively estimated at more than 200,000.
This is already broken, and the lost troops include a large number of veterans and elite troops. The loss of these precious forces cannot be compensated in a short period of time.
What is more serious is the loss of materials. Less than a month of fierce fighting has exhausted all the arsenals of Tyre. Although assistance from other regions has not been interrupted, support from the sea is changing due to the increasingly active pirates of the Oak. Become more and more difficult.
In addition to supplies and ammunition, food problems are even more serious.
Tyre silted up a large number of refugees, and even with the lowest food ration, it still needs millions of tons of food to maintain.
At the moment when Ok was sweeping the entire imperial granary, these grain gaps became a more serious threat than bullets.
In such a situation of internal and external difficulties, when receiving the Blood Axe Army suddenly appeared on the west side of Tyre and began to advance at a high speed, the frontline commander, General Ushkin, almost fainted.
"No wonder... no wonder!"
At the time, paralyzed in a chair, he said to the people around him:
"I have been wondering why, according to intelligence, Guk should have four legions, but only three can be seen on the battlefield... It turned out that he kept a knife all the time and wanted to cut us when we were the weakest. Seal your throat!"
"Sir! This is impossible! Why can they be silent..."
There are still many people expressing their doubts, but Ushijin immediately realized how the blood axe passed through the Yanze and appeared outside the city of Tyre.
"It's the sea, our navy...careless."
After receiving news that everything went well in Beiruf, Guk, who was leading the troops to attack the last main peak of Mount Mihir, seemed very happy.
"I'm really a genius!"
He was so proud of the children around him:
"Can't go on land, can't we still go through the water? There was no boat in the past, now there are many big ships with gold teeth, and we can do whatever we want!"
It turned out that after sweeping the southern part of the province, Guk transferred the Blood Axe Legion to the Waka Rainforest and asked them to stand by near the sea on the north side of the rainforest.
Some kids understand this order as a punishment, because Beirut violated many of Guk's orders.
But only the warlords knew that Guck really meant to let him and his army wait for the fleet of golden teeth by the sea.
At that time, Jinya's fleet had already set sail and traveled east along the coastline. They avoided the patrol route of the Imperial Navy along the way, and because the Empire rarely encountered the Oak Pirates, it had no precautions.
In this way, Jinya's fleet arrived smoothly, and carried the lightly dressed Blood Axe Corps on board, and then came an unexpected landing operation.
Although almost all dirty vehicle tanks and heavy artillery were abandoned, the Blood Axe Legion still has a large number of motorcycles, armored vehicles and light artillery. More importantly, they are the most disciplined legions and can use various tactics to make up equipment. Loss.
For example, the special warfare boys cut off all the telephone lines and railways on the offensive line in advance, so that in the early stage of the attack, Tyre was completely unaware.
When they found out, the main force of the Blood Axe Army was only more than 200 kilometers away from the city.
The war preparations are in a hurry, all scouts and rangers are sent to this new front frantically~EbookFREE.me~ Even the Marines are sent to Modras on the west side of Tyre Fort, it is currently the only barrier in the city.
The Mayor of Tyre, Gabron Long, used his power to transfer troops from other regions to the front to enrich Modras’ defense, and also attracted many merchant ships to form a large fleet in the port. This fleet will be the only salvation at the last minute-limited to the upper class.
The public was also very panicked. The military began to mobilize young men and women in full, curfews had begun on the streets, the national anthem and the Father’s Song began to be broadcast on the radio, and engineers began to build barricades and defensive facilities, all of which increased the tension.
Crimes such as riots and robbery started frequently, because hunger and despair caused many people to flee to more secure areas in the west, but the imperial army set up a large number of checkpoints on the west side of the road in the name of strictly guarding against spies, anyone without a pass Don't pass through, and forcibly punch the card directly.
This has led to a large number of people still staying in the city of Tyre, and the confusion caused by this day after day.
The nervousness of the military department under pressure was almost exploding, and the nobles and commanders were putting pressure on Lang, hoping that he would initiate the action instead of waiting for the next blow.
They formulated many plans for active retreat, ranging from the large-scale maritime evacuation suggested by the Imperial Navy to the generals suggesting an armed land escort.
Long had already decided to veto all of these plans one by one, and he received firm support from Yetan's Supreme Commander Nutans in this matter.
As the eyes of the queen, the spokesperson of power, he has a heavy weight, and he also directly conveys the meaning of the shadow prince.
"Stay on Tyre, no one can take a step back."
