Chapter 606 Curtain Performance

The lost 4th Army adjusted its strategic deployment, mobilized the most elite tank division iron boxers as the vanguard, and gathered another mechanized infantry division as flank cover, trying to force Leon Barton to fight the decisive battle with steady tactics.

Who knows that the next morning, the Leon Barton troops in front of the 4th Army disappeared like a ghost.

The plan is steady, so Buck did not take the plunge. He still slowly advanced his troops according to the original plan and tried to restore his command system by exchanging with subordinate troops. In the afternoon of the same day, he contacted the neighboring 12th Army.

When the sun rose on the third day, Buck finally confirmed the specific movements of Leon Barton's army with the 12th Army on the flank.

Because of excessive caution, they gave Leon Barton time to build a very strong line of defense on the originally barren mountain.

Acardo learned that the 4th Army was at a loss and rushed to the front line in person. He listened to Buck's report here and re-formulated a sound combat plan.

The strategic goal of the Sword Empire has been completed, and the task of controlling Bart to the front line of the Divine Light Fortress has been completed. Arcado has a lot of time and time and Leon Barton, so Arcado and the General Staff believe that the more stable the battle, the better.

However, Leon Barton did not save face at all. That night, he led his troops to raid the defensive position of the 4th Army and set fire to the camp of soldiers of the Holy Sword Empire. Although the Holy Empire forces in the night attack suffered heavy losses, it also brought losses to the Holy Sword Empire, about 900 saints. Soldiers of the Sword Empire died in battle, and a large number of military supplies were burned.

The next day, the soldiers of the Holy Empire relied on the strong defense line for a whole day, and the army of the Sword Empire fought fruitlessly and had to retreat to their positions.

As a result, that night, Leon Patton ordered more than a dozen dead men to sneak into the fortress of the Sword Empire and blow the charge horns they brought, making the soldiers of the Sword Empire who were resting think that it was an enemy attack, and the whole army was on alert for more than an hour.

It was not until the scouts of the Sword Empire captured these dozen dead men that Arcado ordered half of the soldiers to go back to sleep. He took the guard troops toil for 4 hours in the cold wind in the second half of the night, and did not take a nap for 2 hours until dawn. Because he didn't know whether Leon Barton would return, Arcado did not rest all night based on the principle of caution.

After about four days of being consumed by Leon Barton's flexible containment, the Holy Sword Empire finally regained its feeling. Powerful logistical supplies played an obvious advantage in the sticky battle. Although there were many small defeats, the 4th Army was supplemented and strengthened.

In contrast, Leon Barton, 350,000 troops have consumed as much as 40,000. Although he has an advantage on the scene, the front has been compressed more and more seriously, the shells are about to dry up, and the wounded cannot be treated with medicine.

Most importantly, fewer and fewer mobile troops he relies on to win, a few cavalry have been lost, and most of the elite infantry and magic cannons have lost their ability to fight. Although under the flexible command of Leon Barton, the Sword Empire did not annihilate a sacred empire regiment in four days, every time the Sword Empire attacked Leon Barton's defense line, shook off Leon Barton's small means, and pulled the battle back to the frontal battlefield, Leon Barton suffered huge losses.

This is like a duel between two martial arts masters. One lacks strength and the other is deft. The seemingly dexterous master is winning, but the master who does not know the power only needs to hit it once to determine the whole battle.

What's more, Leon Barton, who lacks the rear, is unavoidable. He has no room for detour and movement, so he can only harass the Sword Empire with a small force, so that the army of the Sword Empire cannot attack with all the strength.

"Report!" Bill walked to Leon Barton with a pale face, and the shocking wound was still oozing blood. Leon Barton, who rushed to battle, is not as easy as Arcado these days. He has not had a good rest for a few days and is even more tired than Arcado. In order to ensure that he is foolproof, he personally arranges every detail. Every counterattack is planned by the heart.

"Our shells are out? Right? Bill." Leon Barton took a sip of water and said, "Is there any worse news than this?"

"General, the 15th Infantry Corps has been completely destroyed. News came from the 130th Infantry Corps headquarters in their rear position. A few minutes ago, the royal flag of the Holy Sword Empire was inserted into the position of the 15th Infantry Corps." Bill said dejectedly, "The two infantry regiments that suffered heavy losses yesterday have not yet rested, and we have no reserves."

"Is that all?" Leon Barton smiled gently: "Up to now, we have fought 23 battles against the 4th Army of the Holy Sword Empire, and have not lost a single battle."

He looked at Bill proudly. Although his face was ugly, his face was full of satisfaction: "My body can't stand it. If you go on, the whole army will stop resisting. I have done enough for my waywardness. Next, I need to face it alone."

He pointed to the documents on the table: "If the Holy Empire is still there, the information and achievements I have obtained are absolutely nothing more than that. We have fought for so many days and count the time when Caen City was attacked. At least we know that the so-called superweapons that destroy Caen cannot be attacked continuously, or it has attacks. The range and attack interval, if not, in the face of such a difficult battle, the Sword Empire will definitely use super weapons, right?

Suddenly he thought of Yue Wushen: Old man, if you are still alive, you will find so much information like me, right? With your harsh and practical, I guess you will be more thorough than what I did. You may organize death squads to sneak into the barracks of the Sword Empire to raid and set fire and even assassinate generals. If you have enough troops, you will even use a large number of troops to attack on both wings regardless of losses to distract your opponent's attention.

Thinking of this, Leon Barton smiled violently and shook his head: Yue Wushen, Yue Wushen. If I can see through you, you will not be Yue Wushen. If you defend Jiulong City, I guess the Holy Sword Empire is still suffering on the defense line of Kowloon City, right? Since you have completed the future of the world with your death, why do I, Leon Barton, care about my life?
