Chapter 619 Thousands of Miles
Edward stood up, looked at Yue Linger and said, "Your Highness, I was originally a deputy commander of the cavalry army who returned from the defeat of the Holy Empire. Thanks to your majesty's care, I have today's status and glory. The belief I adhere to is: attack, get rid of the opponent, attack crazily!"
He glanced at the generals around him: "In terms of the stability of defense, I am not as good as General Gavin and General Hawke. Speaking of the ferocity of the attack, I am not as good as Marshal McVlon. I think I can't compare with Your Highness. Only my speed can make me sit in the * position with peace of mind. Thirteen days! My troops will attack Senbei City! The 3rd Army will become your Majesty's hurricane and move forward bravely!"
"Edward*! You can't carry tanks at this speed, you can only rely on traditional cavalry! My 6th Army can move out 5 cavalry divisions and let them move forward with you!" Queen Doris came forward and said that her tone was solemn. Edward was the longest-lived general with her, and his contribution to the Elf Forest even surpassed Tessa.
"The 19th Army can also draw 3 cavalry divisions! Please take it away together!" Yue Linger said, "I will match two horses for each of them!" If I can't keep up with your speed! I expelled them from my army group."
"Thank you! If this is the final song of the traditional cavalry, I hope I will be on the stage at the end!" Edward saluted everyone, turned around and walked out of the conference room.
Three hours later, Edward*, who rushed back to the command of Keding, deployed the combat mission, and the 3rd Army immediately set out, and the whole army went east to the southeast corner of the Ladora Mountains north of the Elf Forest.
When Edward left, he took most of the cavalry of the entire western group, a total of 16 cavalry divisions, and all the trucks and mechanized infantry of the entire 3rd Army, and carried only a small number of small-caliber magic cannons.
He left all the tanks and heavy artillery in the entire 3rd Army in Keding, while the 1st Armored Division of the Holy Sword Empire, the first unit on Rome Island, was also left behind. Most of this division was a tank force, which was handed over by Edward to Yue Linger.
In this way, a force composed of cavalry and trucks, like a race, drove wildly towards the southeast of the Ladora Mountains.
The cavalry ran wildly on the wide road and ate a mouthful of dry food on the horse's back when they were tired. Each of these soldiers only brought food rations for a few days. Before arriving at their destination, they were asked not to rest.
"Cole! We have driven 610 kilometers east! I have never been on a war horse! Yesterday, the car camp lost half of the shells and began to rotate to load the cavalry for rest. An officer bumped on the horse and said, "It has advanced more than 600 kilometers in two days, and the whole army and my waist are scattered."
"We have collected some of the fallen soldiers of the Lum Cavalry Division in front of us, and we can't find the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, 3rd Battalion, and the logistics supply battalion." Cole's officer said helplessly, "If we can't find the supply camp, we can only be hungry for dinner today."
The leading officer saw that the roadside was full of pasture and knew that it was the supplies left by the front troops to inform the local officials of the Elf Forest, so he waved his hand and ordered loudly, "Take a 5-minute rest in place!" Let the war horse eat! Look around! Report immediately if you find the food!"
Sure enough, they found something to eat next to the pasture. Although it was not rich, it was enough. After each soldier added some, it only took 2 minutes, and the dinner ended hastily. The cavalry turned over their horses and continued to gallop into the distance, leaving only the rolled up smoke and dust, as well as the leftover pasture and grain on the roadside.
After a while, another car force hurried by, and most of the vehicles did not even stop. Only a few trucks stopped on the roadside, jumped out of several soldiers, and carried some food into the car. After that, the car started again and accelerated to chase the tail of their troops.
After the evening, Cole's cavalry encountered two broken trucks on the roadside. These trucks belonged to the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the 6th Armored Division of the Empire. Cole confirmed to these soldiers that the main force of the 3rd Army continued to advance, and he heard that General Edward's cavalry force was already in front of more than 110. A camp was camped in the far away.
In the middle of the night, a mixed team of cavalry and trucks surpassed the camp where Cole's troops were stationed. These trucks came from 34 instructors, and the cavalry was a unit of the Elf 172 Cavalry Division of the 6th Army. I heard that they had dropped the magic cannon to the guard and overtaken all the way here.
The next morning, after a hurried breakfast, Cole's troops drove east again. Along the way, they encountered many broken trucks and magic bullets piled up on the roadside guarded by only three or four soldiers.
At noon, they caught up with a wolf knight unit of the orcs, which was originally temporarily organized in Queen Doris's 6th Army and is now under the command of General Edward.
However, looking at their appearance, they are not used to such a long-distance attack. The giant wolf hung its head, moving slowly next to the roadside, spitting out their long tongues without the prestige of the past. At this time, they are more like clever domestic dogs than fierce hungry wolves.
These orc wolf knights lack the endurance to attack. They are more suitable for short-distance assaults and win in speed and deception. Now it is a little difficult for them to compete with cars and light cavalry who can run better.
Another reason why they fell behind is ridiculous. These wolf knights are all wearing heavy armor. Usually, the armor rationed by these sword empires is their invincible capital. Now these heavy weapons and equipment have become a burden that they have to bear.
Human troops have discarded a lot of supplies, including important weapons and armor, but these orcs are reluctant to persuade them. It doesn't help. They refuse to discard anything given by the beast god - there is no way. These orcs are used to living a hard life, and the cheapest thing in their hearts is their own. They are desperate... Their ideal state is that if they have to lose weight, they orcs can leave their armor first!
On the morning of the eighth day, Edward's main force stopped, and his eyes were full of tears of excitement. In the direction of the local elf guide's fingers, they saw the source of the Ladora River, which proved that they had completed two-thirds of the journey, less than 1,000 kilometers from the target Senbei City.
