Chapter 228 Southern Military
"Bring the greedy wolf, and I'll give you a day and a half to bring back those three empires." After saying this, the leader turned around and walked back to the depths of the camp.
"Yes, big leader."
Before yesterday afternoon, Mingjun was the leader of the task of chasing Ye Liu and others, but because of a special thing, Mingjun had to stop temporarily and hand over the task to his subordinates. After a terrible failure, Mingjun accepted the task again.
Holding his chest, Mingjun saluted respectfully and then withdrew from the camp.
"We are going to walk out of the Beiduan Mountains tonight." Ye Liu looked at the communicator on his wrist. Since he contacted Aunt Fuli before the battle with the wild at noon, he has never received any communication request.
However, the very unsuccessful communication at noon also conveyed a lot of information. If there is no surprise, I believe that Zhangye should have taken some action now. The best situation is that he can meet the Central Army as soon as he comes out of the Beiduan Mountains. He doesn't expect them to fight back the wild people, as long as he can take their ride. OK.
"How far is it, 100 kilometers?" Lian Xingyue asked, nearly three days of rushing, coupled with the worries of the battle just now, she and Guan Zhuyun don't look very good now.
"It should be less than 100 kilometers." Ye Liu shook his head. Now not only can the communicator not be used, but also the locator can't continue to work because the signal transmission is seriously affected by the surrounding peaks. All the requests made are unanswered. Ye Liu can only judge according to his own experience.
In fact, this 100-kilometer journey is much more difficult to walk than Ye Liu imagined. It is not as before. The southern slope of the Beiduan Mountains is steep and high. It is a waste of time to walk around, and it consumes too much physical strength to read directly. Not to mention that even Xingyue and Guan Zhuyun are now holding on it, even Ye Liu is difficult to maintain a straight line. Move forward.
At the same time, as the altitude rises, the temperature drops lower and lower. When night comes, Ye Liu can even see the white peak on the peak not far away. The terrain and climate seriously affected the forward speed of the three people. Throughout the afternoon, Ye Liu estimated that the distance of the three people would not exceed 30 kilometers.
If so, things will be very troublesome. Of course, Ye Liu wanted to speed up, but the breath of the two women behind him was getting heavier and heavier, especially Guan Zhuyun. Half of the journey was helped by Lian Xingyue. It's not easy to keep up with Ye Liu, let alone a little faster.
Since they have caught the traces of their own people, it is impossible for the savages not to continue to send people to chase, and this time the people are likely to be stronger than the last time. At noon, Lu, a strange soldier who all relied on, will not be unprepared until the new savages catch up. It is difficult to guarantee whether it can escape Ye Liu at that time.
If the problem of Guan Zhuyun can be solved, the speed of the three people can be increased by at least 20%, and even the physical consumption of Xingyue will be greatly reduced. However, Ye Liu can't abandon his companions. Just relying on Zhu Yun's own strength will definitely drag down the speed of the team.
It's a good idea for Ye Liu to walk with her on his back, but as the leader of the whole team, Ye Liu must often walk in the front of the team to guide the way for the other two people and spy on the enemy. It doesn't matter if Ye Liu jumps alone. However, if one person is added, Ye Liu can't continue to finish this easily. Some tasks.
What the hell is going on? It seems that Ye Liu stopped his eyes on Lu, who was nibbling on the bark not far from the three-person repair site. This guy...
After three days of escape, Lu did not show any fatigue or fatigue, but was the best spiritual member of the whole team. His physical strength also looked abundant. As long as it was not too steep and beyond its jumping ability, it was definitely the fastest to keep up with the leaf flow every time.
And Lu's action with two large bags on his back did not affect Lu's actions at all. Ye Liu did not see the bag on Lu's back slip once. This is a great ability, and Ye Liu himself can't guarantee that he can do it. It shows that Lu has a strong sense of balance and good stability in action.
It was a little smaller. Ye Liu touched his chin and walked to Lu. The life of eating and sleeping together these three days made Lu far less alert than before. Seeing Ye Liu coming, he just shook his ears, shook his tail, and continued to nibble on the bark.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ye Liu suddenly walking next to Lu, Lian Xingyue asked. The wolf caught by Ye Liu yesterday still has a lot of meat in the bag. Of course, Lian Xingyue will not think that Ye Liu wants to kill Ma to relieve his hunger.
Ye Liu compared Lu's shoulder and did not answer Lian Xingyue's question, but asked, "Zhu Yun, how much do you weigh?"
"Uh," this is a girl's secret, but of course Ye Liu didn't ask because it was fun, so Guan Zhuyun answered truthfully, "Forty-six."
"Forty-six, it should be okay." Ye Liu said.
"What can I do?" Even Xingyue walked to Lu's side.
"Let Lu take Zhu Yun, so that our speed will be faster."
"Ah." Lian Xingyue didn't expect Ye Liu to have such an idea. "But Lu is only three months old, and he can't sit still."
"In terms of body size, it is not much smaller than a three-year-old horse, and," Ye Liu patted the broad back of the blocked road. "Zhu Yun is not very heavy. It has been carrying almost 20 kilograms of luggage for three days. Now it should not be a big problem to change to Zhu Yun."
"But, but I don't know how to ride a horse," Guan Zhuyun is very strange to the sport that human nobles were very enthusiastic about before this era. She has never driven or ridden anything other than a flying car.
"It doesn't matter. Lu is very smart. You can just ride it. It has been following me before, and it can continue to follow me later." With the encouragement of Ye Liu. Guan Zhuyun finally agreed.
After gnawing himself to this circle of bark, Lu found that he was surrounded by three people. Some strange Lu ran behind Lian Xingyue. Although Lu, who was very sad, was going to be ridden at such a young age, Lian Xingyue knew that this was the best way at present.
Lu's big head, which had to be held, began to comfort the poor little guy. Lu is now about the same height as Ye Liu, and his shoulders are the first point than Ye Liu, so it is not difficult for Guan Zhuyun to get up. The only trouble is the long skirt under him. The mountain road he is about to walk can't be passed by by side, so Guan Zhuyun has to cut his skirt in half.
If it is normal, when he meets this pair of long and white legs, Ye Liu must look more, but now the time is not right. Even if they shake and shake in front of him, he doesn't feel it at all.
After Lian Xingyue comforted Lu, Guan Zhuyun hugged his neck and rode on Lu's back. This is the first time for both sides, but Lu's performance is very calm, and there is no fierce performance for the sudden addition of one person on his back.
Lu's cooperation makes Guan Zhuyun much more relaxed, and Lu's broad and rich back makes people feel very stable and comfortable even without the assistance of saddles and pedals. Unfortunately, there is no mistake that Lu loves to eat on Guan Zhuyun, otherwise he must reward it well.
Seeing that Lu was so obedient, Ye Liu was relieved. Since riding was no longer a problem, he just left, signaling Lian Xingyue to let go. Ye Liu stepped back a few steps and made a gesture to Lupi. There was one more person on his body, which did not make Lu feel uncomfortable. Naturally and easily trotled in front of Ye Liu.
It seems that this works very well. After that, Lu walked a few laps between Ye Liu and Lian Xingyue, and both people and horses said that there was no problem. Ye Liu was also slightly relieved. It seems that the most important part of this escape is Lu. This broken horse usually eats a lot, and it can still play a role at the critical moment. It seems that there is no need to let Aunt Fuli make new horse eggs for the time being.
With Lu's help, the three of them went much faster and threw away some of the previous pair carried by Lian Xingyue and Guan Zhuyun. This thing is now of little use. They put the rest of the clothes in a bag, and Ye Liu carried them on their back. Now the three of them can be said to move forward lightly.
"The 42nd Army of the Central Army, the independent brigade of Zhangye Theater, and the 7th Division of the National Defense Force have all been assembled. In the middle of the period, an armored regiment of the 42nd Army and the two mechanized battalions of the independent brigade have set out in the north of Zhangye and the direction of North Duanshan. At the same time, the 9th Division of the National Defense Force in the direction of Jiangning and the 11th 10th of the National Defense Force in Laiyang The second division has completed the assembly and can act 24 hours after the order is issued.
"What's going on in the military department?" After listening to the secretary's report, Lian Bi still frowned and asked the next question.
"In the past two days, Yu Guoyu has been in charge of the Military Affairs Department. After the news of the wild people appearing on the southern continent was confirmed, he has not issued any other orders except to raise the alert level of all military units in the war zone."
Since he learned that his daughter and Ye Liuguan Zhuyun disappeared in the Beiduan Mountains at the same time, Lian Bi, who was nicknamed the Empire's smiling God of Wealth, never let go. Although he received the news that Ye Liu was temporarily unharmed in the afternoon, his heart was still shrouded in all kinds of tension and crisis.
But these negative emotions did not affect Lianbi's judgment ability. The Military Department has always been unreliable, especially now. Unexpectedly, the savages were put into the southern continent in the hinterland of the empire and caused them so much damage. It is known that the imperial aristocratic parliament has lost a marquis, three counts, twelve viscounts, and ten barons.
That is to say, due to the mistakes of the military affairs department, nearly one in 50 of the parliamentarians of the parliament suddenly fell into the hands of the savages. There are not one in ten who can come back alive in the past 30 years. It can be said that no matter what he does, he can avoid the impeachment of the House of Lords.
What's more, there is nothing he can do about what he wants to do. Now the northern line of the Central Army can hardly pull anyone out. The big defeat in Shengjing has made the Central Army basically lose all the established reserves now. Now it seems that there are at least 2,000 elite savage troops. , still in the wilderness of the northern section of the mountain, if the central army wants to achieve results quickly.
This result can only be annihilation, and any other result will be a disaster for the empires in the southern continent. Without 30,000 to 50,000 people, the Central Army cannot do it. This number is the main force of the two central armies. But where can the current central army find the main force of 30,000 to 50,000 people?
The more than 1 million central army raised by the empire with tens of billions of gold won every year can't even be dealt with by thousands of savages when it comes to use. This sounds ridiculous and incredible, but it is true.
Since the beginning of the war with the wild people 30 years ago, the Central Army has been expanded and reduced several times, reaching a peak of more than 3 million, and then gradually reduced to more than 1 million now. This number is not without reason.
For war, the more the better is not always the right rule, especially when there is a logistical problem. In the face of savage soldiers who are far more qualified than their own, the Central Army cannot win by piling up human lives.
It's not that they don't want to. If ten or even 20 Central Army soldiers exchange for the life of a soldier, they will laugh out their dentures compared with the group of general marshals of the Military Affairs Department and the General Staff.
