Chapter 110: Pharaoh was fooled
The three legions of the opponent are distributed in an inverted triangle. The weak link in theory is the two wings. The Pharaoh cannot count on the An-La legion to break through the Nannar legion in the southern part of the Hati Kingdom of Jiuzhen. As long as it can form a strategic check, Amon can complete the task. Already. Then the Enril Army led by King Lucille became the most suitable target.
There were three main reasons why Pharaoh decided to raid the Enril Army. First, the main purpose of this expedition was to establish strategic strongholds where there were water sources and pastures along the shores of the inland lake. If the Kingdom of Hatti was one step ahead, it would be very passive in the future. This nail must be pulled out while the Enril Legion was not stable. . Second, the opponent's king is also there. The so-called capture thief captures the king first. If the Enril army can be broken up, the morale of the entire Hati kingdom will be damaged, and it will not be necessary to fight the next battle.
The third point is also important because of the water source. According to the distribution of the three legions of the Hati Kingdom, all the places with water sources were blocked behind the front. There is no water in the desert. The required fresh water must be transported from the southern end to the front line for hundreds of miles. If the front line of defense cannot be breached in a short time, the transportation of fresh water alone will become a heavy logistic burden for the Eju Army.
An attack was launched in the direction of the inland lake, and the first place to seize the water source was to establish a camp for the army. The grassland by the lake can also be grazed on the spot, which will largely reverse the disadvantage of logistical supplies. Now that the Enril Corps is building a permanent stronghold, taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a raid is the best strategic choice.
Lacis II analyzed such one, two, and three, and even admired his wisdom and wisdom, and his subordinates could not refute it. For the sake of stability, the Horus Army also sent a group of magicians to use flying instruments to investigate the enemy's situation. Even the master clergyman and the 9th-level great magician Li Kuide dispatched himself. After all, he was exploring the way for the pharaoh.
There is anti-reconnaissance when there is investigation. In the sky at the northern end of the desert, there have been several unknown magician wars. Several wizards have fallen with their flying instruments, and some have returned successfully. The high priest Li Kuide flew over the enemy camp from a high altitude, and successfully broke away from the opponent's tracking, and found out the layout of the battlefield of the Hati Kingdom, which was exactly the same as the spy's confession.
The soldiers were expensive and fast. At that time, the Horus army was seven hundred miles away from the enemy's Enril army. The middle was the Syrian desert. Pharaoh immediately ordered an attack at full speed. At the back, half of the Seth Legion responsible for logistical supplies, and all the elite Isis Legion, suddenly attacked a legion of Hati with the power of two and a half elite troops. Rasis II was already waiting for victory to wave at him.
...
Amon received three consecutive spy reports during the march, the first from Rod Dick, asking him to cooperate with the Pharaoh's army to accelerate forward. The second time was a formal order from Pharaoh's frontline command. The content was very detailed and required Amon to order the logistical fleet to stay away from it, to prevent being attacked by the opposing navy, and to land on the ground to build a camp.
The An-Ra legion was less than two hundred miles away from the opposing Nannar legion at this time and was already in a position to launch an attack. But the frontline command ordered Amon not to take the initiative to monitor and restrain the opponent in place. If the other party launches an attack, they must rely on the camp to hold it firmly; if they find that the other party has left the coastline to enlist the Pharaoh's army to the east, they will have the opportunity to attack the logistics supply line and restrain the main force of the Nannar Corps in place.
After receiving the order, Amon didn't delay. He immediately ordered to go ashore to set up the camp. A temporary pier was set up on the coast behind the camp, and a group of elite soldiers were escorted on board to ensure that the maritime routes in the rear would not be interrupted. With the current reserves of forage and fresh water, the An-La Legion will be able to persist for more than a month even without a fleet.
Amon sent a scout to monitor the movements of the Nannar Corps, but found that the opponent did nothing. The enemy set up a port and a big battalion like him, and opened the front to build a fortification on the border. If Amon wanted to storm, it would be almost impossible to win, because he was facing not only a legion, but also the city-state behind it.
The battle in the desert should have begun. Close to the main battlefield, scouts and spies have no space for activities. Communication can only rely on flying theorists. Reconnaissance of enemy camps can occasionally be detected with the help of great theorists. Artifacts, but the dynamics within the enemy battalion are difficult to pinpoint. Amon felt that he was hanging on the battlefield and had to wait for the result of the decisive battle.
Although there was no official battle, the atmosphere in the barracks was already very dignified, and the priests and soldiers were on guard most of the day and night. After about ten days, an accident finally happened. At that time, Amon was sitting in a large account and playing chess with Medanzo, and suddenly frowned, feeling that a distant mana fluctuation was approaching, and immediately rushed out of the large account.
The great magician George was also shocked. He had flew into the air with a staff, and the priests lined up the magic circle. The soldiers took the weapons and boarded the semicircular defensive outer wall composed of chariots. The archers took it. After the arrow was ready to pull away, the shooter also clenched the shuttle gun and set the battle line.
A black spot appeared in the east sky and was approaching quickly. Amon's eyesight was good, and he saw that it was a flying instrument to control the wind shuttle. The two people on the shuttle looked tired and exhausted. The person in front of him held a wand and waved repeatedly. He had seen Amon's camp, inspiring the last spirit to speed up, and the person behind was bloodied, and Zhang Bow took an arrow and banned to the rear.
George had received a divine message from the man on the shuttle, and yelled: "The comer is the priest of the Horus legion, the great wizard Cezanne! There is a chaser behind us, we cover him in. "Then there was a chant, the magicians on the ground held up their staff, a cloud of dust rose from the desert, and the flying sand was rolled into the sky to form a curtain wall covering the sky, and the curtain wall was still buzzing.
The flying wind shuttle passed through the curtain wall without any impact, and was directly put in. Several black spots appeared in the distant sky. It was the chasing force that followed from behind. Theoretically, only the eighth-level magician can fly freely without the aid of artifacts, but if there is a precious flying weapon, a brilliant sixth-level magician can also fly in the sky. In short, the strength of chasing troops must not be weak.
Shuttle fell out of control in the barracks and plowed a deep trench in the sand. As soon as the great magician Cezanne maneuvered the shuttle, the shuttle became a palm-sized artifact. He and the warrior behind him were both thrown out, and fell to the ground and fainted. A soldier had rushed forward and carried them to the large tent for treatment.
Cezanne has entered a safe zone, and the flying sand curtain wall protecting the barracks is curling outwards in the wind. The sand shocks and diffuses like countless arrows towards the air, like a cloud of yellow smoke erupting from the distance. Chase. The wizards were ready to fight, and the soldiers raised their bows and arrows waiting for the enemy to enter range.
At this moment, I heard only one bowstring, and a silver light flew obliquely into the sky, hitting a Royal Wind Shuttle after it. The sound of explosion came from the air, and a twist of light and shadow swelled and opened. This instrument went out of control and turned into a palm-sized original shape. Two people fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the dunes outside the barracks.
The leader of the legion, Amon, was already standing on the top of a chariot, holding in his hand a bow made of the teeth and snake tendons of a two-headed giant snake. What he fired was not a poisoned arrow made by a scorpion's tail needle, but a heavy arrow forged from horse leather steel, plated with heavy silver and engraved with a divine pattern. This kind of arrow is specially prepared for the big warrior who has been awakened by the force for the second time. It needs a special strong bow to work, and ordinary warriors can't shoot at all.
Amon fired this amazing arrow with divine magic, which has far greater impact and longer range than the arrow shot by a large samurai. His magic is actually more brilliant than body magic. The mana contained in this arrow has reached the extreme that its carved array of magic can carry, and the bow in Amon's hand is stronger than the best combat in the army. The bow is much more magical.
The air chaser saw that Cezanne had fled into the big camp, and they could not fight with a whole army. They had flew to the high altitude to avoid the counterattack of the magic circle. They prepared to see the enemy camp and immediately returned. . Amon shot down a Royal Wind Shuttle controlled by a sixth-level wizard. The wizard originally flew high, far from the range of the long-range weapons in the barracks. He thought it was safe, and a turn in the air was about to return. Fly, Amon's arrow has arrived.
No one expected that in such a short encounter, such an accurate and amazing arrow would be shot in the military formation, and even George, who was watching the main battle in the air, was amazed, and the soldiers gave out a thunderous cheer. The chasers in the air have turned around, seeming to be scared by the threat of Amon, and for a moment did not dare to stay high in the air. The enemy's sentiment is unknown, and George did not dare to rush out to send a magician to fly to pursue.
The soldiers took the servants' minions and the logistical team. A total of more than 20,000 people marched thousands of miles. So far, only one arrow has been shot in the official battle. This arrow was enough to establish Amon's position in the legion, and everyone who saw him shot this arrow was respectful!
But Amon himself was very dissatisfied with this arrow. He thought that he had seen the mysterious arrow shot by the mysterious assassin at the blessing ceremony. Now he uses his best bow to shoot the heaviest aura. The power of the arrow is still far from the arrow of the day, even though he is now a great warrior and a great magician.
However, Amon was very satisfied with his legion. Although it was only a small scene of five or six enemies flying, it was the first time that the legion encountered a frontal battle. All of them did not panic, and even the archer did not shoot an arrow. The priests 'ranks and the warriors' formations were all set up in the shortest time, even if there was a large army attack, they could calmly resist.
It seems that after a few exercises and pinch-ups of this brand army, it has formed a combat force that cannot be underestimated. Although it cannot be compared with the elite army of the empire, it is definitely not vulnerable.
The chaser retreated, and the two men who had fled into the camp were unconscious. George had recognized the other person. He was the guard captain of Pharaoh's Majesty and the seventh-level samurai Vega. The Horus Legion has a much stronger staffing than the An-Ra legion. A seventh-level warrior like Vega is just a captain of the Pharaoh's guard, and a seventh-level great wizard like Cezanne is only Li Kuide. A priest captain under his command.
The two men apparently made a long-distance break from the direction of the main battlefield. Did they encounter any situation where the Pharaoh had to send them an emergency order to the An-La army? Medanzo searched out a volume of documents from the unconscious Cezanne, and it turned out to be a pharaoh's emergency warrant. Amon and George were shocked after reading.
The main force of Ecuador was unfavourable in fighting on the northern edge of the desert, and more precisely suffered a major defeat. Rod Dick's Seth Corps was broken up, while Dragon's Isis Corps was split into two, one merged with Pharaoh's Horus, and the other was defeated.
At present, the Pharaoh has been besieged by the Hati army at the edge of the desert. The situation is in danger. He urgently ordered the An-La army to leave the coastline to go east to reinforce and cover the Pharaoh army's breakout. The order also specifically emphasized that sufficient supplies should be brought.
After reading the order, Amon and George looked at each other for a long time without speaking. They did not first express their opinions, but asked John, who was sitting beside him, what did he think? The grumpy John slammed the table and said, "What battle is this! The plan of the march will change if it changes, and we will be left to the seaside for more than three months, when the main defeat needs to replace the dead ghost. Think of us? "
George exclaimed, "General John, this is not the time to vent your personal complaints. Regardless of your dissatisfaction, you must also focus on the overall situation. In your opinion, how can we complete Pharaoh's order?"
This question is very tricky, how can the command be completed, usually only need to execute directly. However, Pharaoh ordered them to go eastward, which means that they left the coastline and separated from the rear supply fleet. Theoretically, troops can be stationed at the seaside, unloaded from the temporary port, and then organized by the convoy for logistics transportation. However, it is easy to be easily cut off by the opponent's Nannar Army, and they become a lone army deep into the desert.
If the enemy is entangled in the desert, let alone grain and grass, once the fresh water runs out of the entire legion, it will be finished. The Nannar Army does not have to fight desperately, it only needs to consume them in the desert. Not to mention that the overall combat effectiveness of the An-Ra legion was not as good as the Nannar legion. Pharaoh's order was equivalent to letting the legion die. It was nothing more than to attract the forces of the Hati kingdom to cover the main force's breakout.
Medanzo standing beside Amon frowned. "Pharaoh also ordered us to bring all the supplies on the spot. Since Rod Dick's logistics corps were broken up in the desert, presumably the grain and arrows in Pharaoh's army also It ’s almost exhausted. If we really do this, the march will be very slow, and it will be easy to be surrounded in the desert. The rescue of the Pharaoh ’s breakout should be a light attack, but that can only take six days of drinking water with the Pharaoh. The requirements were not met. "
George touched the bracelet on his wrist and added with a bitter smile: "If you use my space weapon and carry your supplies as best as you can, you can install at most one day of grain and water for the legion's combat forces."
Amon asked again: "You mentioned that the space artillery reminded me that there must be more than one great magician in the Pharaoh army. Two of the three legions were only nine-level great magicians. In addition to sending letters today, In addition to Cezanne, there are six other great magicians. They should have more sophisticated space weapons. How many military supplies can they carry? "
George shook his head and said, "Part of the Seth Legion and the Isis Legion were broken up. Even if all the great wizards were intact and merged with the Pharaoh, their space weapon was also full of military supplies. It lasts for ten days and a half months. Moreover, the space artifacts of the great magician are usually used for other purposes. It is impossible to use all of them to carry grain and drinking water. Logistics logistics mainly rely on convoys. "
John stroked his head and said, "The opinions of the two adults, can't they execute the pharaoh's order?"
George glared at him and said, "Why can't the military order be executed? But this warrant was not received by us, but was retrieved from the stunned Cezanne theorist, and we need to confirm that we have to wake people up Only. "
Amon was silent for a long time, and finally looked up: "Pharaoh's order is to hope that the An-La army can help the main force to escape from danger. As long as we can manage to complete this task, even if the order is executed. There are two things urgent, please Lord George The priest quickly rushed to rescue the messenger with healing magic. In addition, no matter what kind of operations the legion carried out, it was necessary to detect the distribution of the enemy situation. This also required the help of the principal priest George to fly me over the battlefield to see the enemy and me.
John and Medanzo whispered, "Will the two adults fly to the battlefield to watch the enemy? It's too risky!"
Amon also smiled bitterly: "Adventure? Who else in our corps can perform this task and be sure to return safely? At least Master and I can escape if there is an accident. If the army rushes into a siege, we will escape in time. Can't escape. "
After the emergency treatment of the priests, the two messengers were out of danger. At midnight, the great warrior Weijia woke up first, struggling to tell what happened in the desert.
The Pharaoh led the Horus army to fly forward, without encountering any obstacles, and smoothly passed through the seven hundred li desert. It was about to launch a sudden attack on the Enril army. The Seth army, which was responsible for logistics, was ambushed. .
The ambusher obviously had special targeted training. The soldiers hid under the cloak and hid under the sand. They did not encounter the Horus legion, but they emerged out of the desert on both sides at night and beat Luo. De-Dick was caught off guard.
These people did not entangle the decisive battle, mainly using a bow and arrow with fire to ignite the grain cart, and a special bladed arrow with strong penetrating power, only for shooting the team's sheepskin bag filled with fresh water. Encountered by ambush, Rod Dick led the army to make up for it. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Seth Corps lost most of its military supplies.
