Chapter 283 Veterans come out

Although the Duke of the Sword achieved an unprecedented victory on the front line and committed a heinous crime after the victory, some people in the Eternal Night Empire expected the defeat on the battlefield in advance and made up for it in advance.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army of the Eternal Night Empire. He was busy organizing to provide supplies to the expedition's Prince Ye Shengwu, but on this day he received a letter from a front-line general.

The letter clearly states that Ye Shengwu is ready to fight a decisive battle on the front line when the main force of the Principality of the Holy Sword returns to the Dofos River.

"Nonsense!" Yue Wushen threw the letter on the ground and scolded loudly, "This night Shengwu is really nonsense! He was tricked by the enemy!"

A general of the Qinglong Army present here was very confused. Looking at the angry old prince, he didn't know why the old prince was so sure that Prince Ye Shengwu had been tricked.

"I'll ask you!" Yue Wushen looked at his generals and asked, "Has the southeast city state ever attacked the Dorfoss River on the other side?"

A general hurriedly shook his head: "It's definitely impossible. In this weather, the other party is tightly arranged, and it must be useless!"

"It's a good thing to return, so I'll ask you again, since no one can attack the opposite shore, is the defense line an emergency?" Yue Wushen asked again.

"When the enemy crossed the river, no one soldier attacked our river bank. How can we talk about the emergency?" A general smiled twice and said.

"Since the enemy can't break through the defense line at all, if it were you, would anyone increase troops to the defense line that was not urgent at all?" Yue Wuqi asked angrily.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they were wrong and entered a misunderstanding. Generally, according to the existing intelligence, they subjectively believe that since the Duchy of Shengjian has withdrawn 100,000 troops from the front line, it must be because of the Dofoss River defense line is in an emergency, so naturally these 100,000 troops must go to support the Dofos River defense line. .

But now when you think about it, these two intelligences support each other, and there is no other circumstantial evidence to confirm, and obviously no one will reinforce a solid line of defense, which must be a way to lure the enemy against the Eternal Night Empire.

"Think about it again, what would you do if you were the commander of the Holy Sword Principality and gritted your teeth and deployed such a huge force for defense?" Yue Wushen stared at his subordinate generals and asked.

"General, you are joking. Since you don't need to defend, of course..." A general said, but halfway through the words, he suddenly realized and shouted with wide eyes, "It's not good! The eldest prince is going to be defeated.

"That's it. Since it's not for defense, it must be for attack! At this time, if I get the news, I should stabilize the defense line, shrink the troops, and prevent the other party from counterattacking. However, our Royal Highness Ye Shengwu actually launched a decisive battle. How can we not lose? The moon sighed.

Then he got together and arranged: "Order 200,000 Qinglong troops to leave overnight and rush to the territory of the southeast city to take over the defeated and retreating imperial troops!" Immediately find someone to bring my message to His Royal Highness and His Majesty, saying that the front line may be defeated and ask them to make plans early.

I have to say that Yue Wushen's vision actually guessed the battle plan of the Principality of Shengjian with only limited intelligence in the distant rear.

The battle plan of Arcado and the staff headquarters is roughly as follows: first, 100,000 elite troops from the front battlefield will be transferred to the north to join the Barker forces in Bello Province. If Ye Shengwu is fooled, then naturally encircle and annihilate the Ye Shengwu troops; if Ye Shengwu is not fooled, they will normally launch an attack on the eastern border of Bello Province and forcibly tear them off. Eternal Night Empire Defense Line.

This is originally a perfect solution, not to bet whether the night saint is successful or not, but a set of battle plans to fight whether the night saint is deceived or not.

Although the Principality of the Holy Sword won a decisive victory in the Arante region and wiped out the main force of the Yongye Empire, the subsequent attack did not achieve its due effect.

Ye Shengwu led the remaining 200,000 troops to rely on the tributaries of the Dorfos River for tenacious defense. In addition, the moonless army made accurate predictions and rushed to support in advance, which surprised everyone, so the two armies in the province of Arante returned to a stalemate.

The only difference is that this time Yue Wushen personally led the army to defend closely, and the attacking side became the Holy Sword Principality force that had been defending in the early stage.

Although Acardo and Mcvalon and the staff headquarters of the Holy Sword Principality came up with various ways, hoping to start a decisive battle with Yue Wushen, they were resolved by the experienced old general one by one.

The large-scale decisive battle, siege, rapid breakthrough battle, and annihilation war that the Holy Sword Duchy hopes to see have not appeared. Instead, on the long defense line, countless thousands or even hundreds of small-scale battles are consuming the national and military strength of both sides all the time.

The decisive battle in the northwest, which the southeast city-state thought could win or lose a battle, has become a retreat and a long-lasting defensive battle. Although the number of troops needed by the southeast city-states has been reduced from 800,000 to more than 450,000, millions of rations and materials are consumed every day.

North Dofoss Province, which is the closest to the front, has been impoverished by the war. Three of the only four complete provinces in the southeast city-state have suffered, and the people have suffered unspeakably. The only remaining one has just recovered from the tragic war more than a year ago and can't bear such a heavy burden at all.

In these days, the returning Sean navy appeared again in the waters of the southeast city-state, ransacking the coastal cities that had not yet recovered, looted countless supplies and treasures, and even swept away a large number of coastal civilians.

The prepared navy of the Principality of Sword actually took a large number of transport fleets to load the looted materials and personnel. What made the coastal defense forces of the southeast city state cry without tears was that a little resistance would be attacked like killing. Dozens of iron-clad ships and hundreds of cannons could turn thousands of meters of land along the coast into a Sea of fire.

However, coastal looting cannot essentially change the situation of the war on land. In this way, under the reluctant situation of both sides of the war, the Asian continent ushered in a new year. The two years of the war lasted for the Gregorian calendar, and three years of the Gregorian calendar came in the rumble of the magic cannon.

The old general Yue Wushen used his experience and wisdom to save the distant southeast city-state, curbed the rapid development of the Shengjian Principality, and maintained the complexity of the southern forces of the Asian continent for the benefit of the Eternal Night Empire. The first war against the Principality of the Sword has entered a stable final stage.
