Chapter 229's Lu Zaigong

The 30-year battle shows that under the cover of insufficient fortifications or armored forces, ten savages can break through the positions defended by more than 100 people of the Central Army. On the contrary, the only thing 100 Central Army soldiers can do when facing the defense of ten savages is not to kill suddenly. .

Therefore, the Central Army has always wanted to obtain harder armor and sharper weapons than to expand its army. The former is an armored fighter vehicle with an increasingly heavy weight, and the latter represents the latest hot gun developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Although the effect is not obvious, this kind of protection is thicker, and the simple method of thicker gun barrel still restrains the savages to a certain extent. At least it is rare to find that the savages will besiege castles built by the empire on various peninsulas of Beida Road in the coming year.

However, whether it is the Royal Academy of Sciences as a research institution or a military enterprise under the five families as a production institution, even if their profits are strictly limited to 25%, the purchase cost of each armored fighter and hotline gun is more than six figures, and the main force of 30,000 people is the least More than 300 armored fighter vehicles and more than 100 hotline guns are needed.

This is just the purchase cost, maintenance, loss, personnel training, none of which costs less than the purchase cost, not to mention that once there is a battle with savages, the average life of these artificial devices will immediately fall below three months.

Armoured fighter vehicles and hotline guns are the kind of slow movement. Transfer inconvenient things, once the situation on the battlefield is unfavorable, for the Central Army, this is a common situation, then it will inevitably be discarded. At the same time, in order to avoid being used by savages, it will be destroyed before being lost.

In this way, it goes without saying that the Central Army only has tens of billions a year. Even if the military expenditure of the Central Army is not capped, the nobles of the nobles will not take out their annual salary as military expenses, and it is impossible for all the Central Army to complete the grand goal put forward by armoring 300 years ago.

The only thing the central army can do without armored fighter vehicles is to squat in the castle and fight as an iron turtle. Fortunately, the savages really don't have any powerful weapons to do anything to the walls with armored panels on the outer walls of the empire. Otherwise, the imperial city would have been besieged by the wild people decades ago.

Overall, more than half of the Central Army and nearly two-thirds of the ground troops belong to that kind of fortress soldiers. The defense is acceptable. Once they leave their old nest, the field battle is to give heads to the savages. There are only eight main forces that can really be used as offensive forces, a total of 280,000 people.

It seems that there are still a lot of 280,000 people. As long as one-tenth of them can solve the problem of savages, but regret is far from that simple. Speaking of the battle in Shengjing four months ago, Feng Ziru lost the main force of the 12th Army of 50,000 people, which suddenly damaged the vitality of the Central Army.

In order to fill the loopholes in the defense line after the total destruction of the 12th Army, the Military Affairs Department can only transfer the troops of other main forces. At the same time, in order to prepare for the wild people to take the opportunity to attack, almost all the reserves on the Northern Front have been mobilized.

The four most critical satellite cities on the two peninsulas of Doro and Yehe in the north are stationed by the main force of the Central Army, the 27th Army and the 54th Army of the 7th Army. These 150,000 people are definitely unable to move. The Eighth Army is the general reserve team of the Doro Peninsula and has transferred half of its people to the gate of the city defended by the 12th Army before, 40 The army is the general reserve of Yehe Peninsula, which also mobilized ordinary people to go to the gate of the 12th Army, and the rest can't move.

In addition to the remaining 12th Army, there is finally a 30th Army left. This is the last reserve of the Central Army that can be used at any time except the 12th Army. The problem is that the 30th Army also has a problem, and now it can't be pulled out for a short time.

First of all, in order to rebuild the 12th Army, nearly one-third of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the 30th Army were transferred. Then, when the news of savages appeared on Nanda Road, the unit was split into three parts by the General Staff to protect the key intersections of the rest of the southern continents.

That is to say, there is no extra power in the military affairs department except for the servicemen. If you want to deal with those savages in the northern mountains, you can only transfer troops from the two major peninsulas, but this is a dangerous and tedious thing. In view of the prestige of the state power in the military affairs department now, not to mention three days or half a month. Can finish this.

Therefore, even if Yu Guoquan, the deputy minister of the military affairs department who is about to step down, tried his best to mobilise the main force of the central army of 10,000 to 20,000 people plus their equipment, it is not possible in ten days. Ten days, ten days, the weak city defense and the basically no fighting national defense force are enough for the wilders. The whole southern continent has turned upside down.

"Let the 42nd Army not send so many people. Zhangye's safety is very important. They can't send Zhangye away just because of a few children, and there are independent brigades. Guarding Zhangye City is their biggest task. They don't even have many armored vehicles. Do they go out to die?"

The mobilization of troops above the training level of the Central Army needs to be approved by the General Staff in non-war time, but now the news of Xingyue's disappearance is not a secret in the empire. The General Staff can't provoke Lian Bi at this time, and the relationship between the current Chief of General Staff Fengye and Lian Bi is unusual.

Although the Independent Brigade and the National Defense Force are nominally both imperial troops, they have much more freedom. As the supreme leader of Count Zhangye, even Bi has the right to issue orders to them. As long as there is no Zhangye, no one will take care of what these two troops do.

After accepting Lian Bi's order, the secretary left Lian Bi's study. Lian Bi continued to think for a while and rang a bell on the desk. Before long, a gray-haired man in a neat dress walked into the study outside the door.

"Lian Fu, Luo Fu, are they ready?"

"It's ready, sir. Let them out now?"

"Yes, let them all go, and you will follow. It's best to bring Miss and Ye Liu back. If you find that someone has been caught by them, show this out." Lian Bi took out a long sign from the drawer. Remember, it's not necessary on the road. Don't conflict with them.

The gray-haired man nodded and said that he was about to go out, but he was suddenly stopped by Lianbi, "Wait."

Lian Bi wanted to say something, but finally said to the gray-haired man, "Forget it, go quickly."

Seeing that the door of the study was closed, Lian Bi closed his eyes and fell into thought again.

I don't know anything about what happened in the Imperial City. Ye Liu still shuttled between the mountains at 12 o'clock at night, followed by a figure, to be precise, three. Because the line of sight is small at night, Ye Liu has to frequently determine the route of his team from a high place.

Even if he is a high-capable person, this almost non-stop beat also made him lose a lot of physical strength, and even has a feeling that he can't keep up with it. There is still a distance of 50 or 60 kilometers. Ye Liu estimated that he has walked for more than ten hours since the afternoon and now. About a kilometer,

This speed is not fast, but it is not slow. Based on Ye Liu's experience, it is difficult for savages to reach a speed of five kilometers per hour under this terrain, so as long as there are no accidents on the journey below, the three people are very likely to escape the pursuit of the wild. This can be said to be very good news.

"Take a break." When Ye Liu came down from the mountain again and merged with the two women, Lian Xingyue said.

"Good." This time, they have walked for two consecutive hours, and all three of them need to recover their physical strength. Even the Guan Zhuyun riding on Lu is the same. Lu's speed is not slow, and the mountain road is so rugged. No matter how skilled Lu is, it is not easy for Guan Zhuyun to maintain balance.

"I don't know what's wrong with Dad now." Lian Xingyue took a sip of water, which was also taken from the bus before, but it was the last bottle.

"Uncle Lian should know our general location now. Maybe as soon as we get out of Beiduan Mountain, we can see the people he sent to pick us up," Ye Liu's speculation is still very likely. According to the current direction of the three, it's good to be in the north of Zhangye. If Lian Bi knew Ye Liu and Aunt Fuli's practice at noon, he would definitely leave some hands somewhere.

On a cold night, the lonely Liangyue, if it hadn't been accompanied by Ye Liu and Guan Zhuyun, Lian Xingyue would have been difficult for herself to hold on for these three days. Lu's Guan Zhuyun, who lay down, knew the mood of his good friend, silently held her hand and gave her a little warmth.

Opening the communicator, Ye Liu, who was trying to contact Aunt Fuli, suddenly changed his face and turned his head. He didn't look at Lian Xingyue, but the direction he came.

"No, they caught up again."

"What," Lian Xingyue asked

"Mutant birds, have they been replaced? We must go immediately."

Before two minutes of rest, he was interrupted by the savage who suddenly caught up. Lian Xingyue reluctantly supported herself to stand up with her tired legs, but suddenly her body lighten and found that she was held in Ye Liu's chest. You are taking a break. It's not easy to walk in the back."

"Hmm." Lian Xingyue nodded obediently.

Today's moon is very good, which makes Ye Liu, who walks at night, take a lot of detours, but it is also good news for the mutants of the wild. Although it is impossible to see humans 20 kilometers away like in the daytime, it is shining in the bright moonlight. There is still no big problem within five kilometers.

Ye Liu saw the mutant bird for the first time, which was 20 kilometers away from the three, but the savages seemed to be very accurate about the direction of Ye Liu's direction. In less than 20 minutes, the mutant bird flew over Ye Liu's head. The three of them were lucky. There was a cave next to it that had been abandoned for a long time, which they avoided. Detection of mutant birds.

Waited for another ten minutes. After making sure that the mutant bird disappeared in the sky, Ye Liu came out again with three horses. Now there are various choices in front of him. First, continue to move forward, but then it will definitely be discovered by the savages. At most, it will be delayed for one to two hours, and finally it will definitely be chased by the savages.

Second, set out to both sides to avoid mutant birds. Although savages must still have mutant dogs, their efficiency is much worse than this big eyes guided by the sky. It's a little difficult for Ye Liu to get rid of the savage, but without the bird in the sky, Ye Liu is still confident that he will not let the savage chase him in a day.

A time to breathe, Ye Liu made a decision.

"How does Lu look?"

It's the same as Lu as Xingyue. This pony is still full of vitality, and the best member of the four teams "looks good."

Ye Liu also thinks so. We speed up. Try not to let the savages catch up." Ye Liu's decision was to continue to move forward and cross the northern mountains. Walking to the side can't get rid of the savage, and it will be farther away from Zhangye, which is not conducive to the rescue after Lianbi. Although it is easy for the savages to keep up, the terrain here is like this. No matter how fast the savages are, they will not get anywhere faster than Ye Liu. Ye Liu still has a chance to escape.

"Let's go." Ye Liu picked up Lian Xingyue again. Facing Lian Xingyue's questioning eyes, Ye Liu replied. Hurry up, it's okay. It's not a big problem for me.

Although the body consumption will increase sharply, Ye Liu is still sure to stick to the rest of the journey from Beiduan Mountain to Zhangye. As long as you can get out of Bei Duan Mountain and contact Aunt Fuli, the following things will be much simpler.

The speed of the three teams was improved again, and they were very lucky. After avoiding the detection of two mutant birds, it was not until the third hour that the wilders found Ye Liu.
