Out of the cage

The second battle of Swan City was no longer a city, but a series of mobile battles centered on Swan City.

If a year ago, the rebels were inside the cage of Swan City, and the imperial army was the cats outside the cage trying to stretch their claws, but now it is the other way around, the rebels are the hunters outside holding "fire" to smoke, The imperial army is the howling bear trapped in the cave.

If there is no accident, the bear of the imperial army will rush out sooner or later and fall into the trap.

But here comes the problem. When Iron Star was fighting the "big bear" of the Imperial Army, the "tiger" of the Anglo Intervention Army appeared behind him.

Seeing this situation, ordinary commanders would feel pessimistic about the front and rear pincers, but Enma sighed at the huge space in the two areas and said, "There is a lot to be done."

In the face of simultaneous internal and external interference, Enma has adopted "sub-steps". Enma: Separate the Anglo-Intervention Army and the Imperial Army.

...The angle of view came to the north, near Norbing Harbor, the Anglo landing area...

The front-line assault company continued to bombard and test. After the Lance Group, they found that the Anglo Corps was as trapped as a tortoise in hibernation.

In the headquarters of the Iron Star side, strategic adjustments have been made to this.

Enma looked at the results of the battle in the newspaper, and commented on the results of his own blocking Anglo intervention army: it was better than expected.

Enma held the battle report and said to other members of the staff: Judging from the current situation of the Angles using troops, they will not take risks unless they feel safe enough, like "a knight facing a peasant with a bamboo pole in his hand". But in this case, they (Lance Group) will waste a lot of strategic time. We don't have to wait with them.

Enma's theory of mobile warfare: "Harassment buys time" must be used reasonably to expand the time difference of certain strategic mobilizations.

It's like playing chess, one move delays the opponent's three moves, and the extra two moves have to be carefully considered and used.

Of course, playing chess is by no means just moving one piece, and the game cannot be expected to "fix the world with one move".

For example, after the Anglo reinforcements have been raided by a wave of ports, if they think that the opponent is not ready and chase after them fiercely, they may be reversed by the enemy at this point.

The Anglo naval guns in the area are powerful, but they did not gain a firm foothold in the early days, and now they must have deployed defenses.

Wei Keng: Xiaoyuezi will make this mistake. Once the sneak attack is successful, it will catch the "sneak attack" and continue, treating the opponent as a robot.

...Enma: We can't get in now, but let's think about it, where is the enemy going to attack us now? …

Enma drew a circle between the railway lines of Mirsu City and six other cities in the north. It is proposed that the strategic mobile force must be maintained here.

With the mobilization of Enma, the chimneys of these northern cities began to produce "blocking war" industrial products, and expanded their own railway mobilization capabilities, and converted some trains into armored trains to ensure strategic mobilization.

And the 400,000 peasant-soldier railway patrols in rural and rural areas began to carry out some related construction along the railway. Make the illusion that Iron Star's northern main force is still confronting the Angles in the north.

When Enma was doing these things, the Anglos hadn't recovered from the bombardment of the head-on guns. They were too slow in strategic preparations because they thought they were strong in arms.

In terms of overall strategy, Iron Star never expects to win at once. Strategic victory must be accumulated every step of the way.

Many step strategies now seem to be "idle pieces", but as long as they effectively consume the opponent's strategic resources, they are all useful.

For example, after the Anglo mercenaries are shelled inexplicably, they must be careful and deploy defenses. At the same time, the warships in the port also maintain a support state.

This is no problem tactically, even the standard textbook state of the Anglo Military Academy.

But strategically! His troops are now "wearing armor", slowly deploying gunboats to block the channel. In particular, the fleet was resting in the northern port, blocking Anglo logistics ships from entering the port to unload.

This will cause the subsequent material supply of the Anglos to be delayed. It just loses its strategic maneuverability and will not rush to help other troops.

The Iron Star command now determines that the probability of the Anglos going south is very small. Even if some of them go south, the intelligence personnel of Iron Star who stayed in the Norwegian port will send out information, so that Iron Star has three to four days in advance.

The staff department determined: the Anglo intervention army can be "placed" in advance, and the imperial army can be dealt with southward first.

Enma: Try to annihilate a portion of the imperial army within these two months, and attack the imperial army's subjective determination to fight. Prevent its "future" from becoming a key bargaining chip in the battle at some point.

…The "stupidity" of the conservative forces in the final period cannot be changed even by God. …

On September 5th, Enma ordered the troops in Swan City to shrink in an all-round way. This shrinkage was for the imperial army to see. It is a retreat full of "seduction".

Enma: "The imperial army should have received it at this time. The Anglo mercenaries have reached the northern coastline, so we shrink at this time. Some of them are very excited. I predict that there is a high possibility that one of the imperial army will There will be military adventures all over the place, because the commanders of the empire have arrogance towards the Iron Star from the countryside in their bones, and they are impatient to avenge their shame.

Iron Star! Taking advantage of this period of time, a small number of troops were left behind to make the illusion that they were actively moving to the north, but we just ignored the Anglos in the north, concentrated all our superior forces, and came south to block the excited group of the imperial army. "

After Enma completed the strategic deployment, it began to be handed over to these generals for execution.

On the other hand, Enma sat at the desk for a while, looked at the map on the wall, his hometown, and decided to deal with some private matters.

Enma called up the frontier combat situation and opened Orr's battle report. Orr is the nephew of the world itself as Enma. The two parties are related by blood.

Wei Keng has always understood that "blood relationship" in this world means that there will be "mysterious information" connection.

The information called up by the supervisor reminded Wei Keng: "You have been impregnated with super-large-scale conceptual information when you came to this world this time, and this part of conceptual information will follow the "channel" close to you (Enma) and affect people with you. Among the people close to you, the bloodline with you as the source has already been formed."

It means: Wei Keng is similar to a god in the concept of creation, a high-ranking godhead is waiting to be merged at any time, Wei Keng himself is already much stronger than the concept of "hero, king" in the mortal world. And the concept of the King of Heroes can awaken the talents of future generations along the bloodline. There is no doubt that Wei Keng's information concept has also affected relatives in this world.

Among Enma's relatives, those who are old and have lost the future of growth will not be affected by concepts in this life, but as Enma's nephew, his thinking consciousness has been infused by Wei Keng unconsciously.

This infusion effect is similar to the "implantation experience" of the golden finger in the main world, and it is more subtle.

Orr, who is now jumping on the front line and playing with artillery superbly, doesn't even know that some ideas in his mind come from his uncle.

Wei Keng said silently to the monitoring system: "What does the person (Oer) feel like after this injection?"

The system has been opened, Enma is in a causal chain with an individual in the quantum universe.

Bai Linglu appeared on the interface and explained: "This is a feeling of faith. When Orr was a child, he heard that he had a very capable uncle who went to the city and became more and more prosperous. You brought a lot of good things to the family, so you left a ignorant concept in his heart, and when he went out to make a living, every time he worked hard with you as an example, his thinking was unconsciously influenced by your talent, And his belief should also be proud of your strength."

This is a bloodline model similar to "Warlock".

En Ma paused: "If I am down and out and pick up oyster shells on a boat, his faith will collapse, and then he will be gone, right?" The children of the family have also become "small philistines")

Bai Linglu: "Yes, it will hit him in the short term, but do you really want to play it?"

Wei Keng paused and said, "Will the gods start with him?"

Bai Linglu: "I haven't noticed any signs now, but there is a high probability that I will interfere with you from this aspect in the future, or~" (Bai Linglu proposed to use the big sealing technique to seal it in a book that is almost stagnant in time and space In the museum, stay away from this battle of gods, and come out after tens of thousands of years)

Wei Keng paused, then shook his head: "Let them go. There are too many extraordinary powers affecting mortals in this world, but I won't do it. This is inconsistent with the concept I insist on."

Bai Linglu: "Then have you ever thought that one day he will resist you?"

Wei Keng: "My concept is that rebellion is justified. Of course, whether his reasons can withstand the test is his business."

...The angle of view is back, the sky empire, the iron star and the empire front, the scythe and the bayonet are rubbing against each other...

As Enma expected, the low morale of the imperial army and the conflicting situation of high pressure from top to bottom made the imperial generals unable to withstand the "excitement".

Baisongling, according to Dizhong. The intensity of the war on the south side of Swan City was very intense.

In the past month, Iron Star obeyed the principle of the enemy advancing and we retreating, and let the 120mm mortars on board bombard the Imperial Army's military columns and supply convoys regardless of night and day.

Instead, the imperial army used light firepower in this area, the 70mm field artillery, because the rest of the heavy firepower could not be mobilized at all, and it was impossible for the imperial airship to fly around to hit a few small cars, not to mention that the airship was so big The target of the peasants and workers' army is not touched at all.

The morale of the Minlar Legion, which has been recuperating in the past few months, has fallen into a very impetuous state. He had promised the regent that he would completely wipe out the rebellious parties in the area throughout September, and celebrate the victory before Holy Spirit.

But now it's not that they don't work hard, but that the rebellious party is too cunning and shameless.

In Minlar's plan, not counting his own elite armored force, he was drawn from the southern front. The Smog Legion also had several times the conventional firepower of the rebels, but this kind of artillery confrontation did not happen at all.

What's more, when he searched the wilderness with an army of 20,000, all he encountered were empty areas, and all the warehouses were empty.

Note: The petrification technique is a good thing. It allows the moisture of the material to be separated out, and the calcite shell is composed of silicon-based molecules. Under the organization of the Iron Star Farmers and Youth Association, the grain is scattered and buried on the sunny side of the hillside during the evacuation. It is difficult for the imperial army to find it. At the same time, the grain It can also be stored for a long time.

There was not a single serious engagement between Minlar's forces and Iron Star in this second battle of Swan City. The occasional encounters are all under two hundred people. The conventional artillery was repeatedly carried on the road under the haul of the steam engine, causing a large number of heavy artillery wheels to fail. It is miserable for the mechanics to work overtime.

For the captains of the Imperial Army, when performing search missions, if the troops were dispersed, the supplies would have to be dispersed, and once dispersed, the supplies would be frequently cut off.

More than once, there were idiots in Minlar's command, and they were fooled by the Iron Star villain.

For example, there was an idiot from the Imperial Army who left the main force with some fuel and supplies, but just after he left the team, he encountered more than ten rapid-fire mortars and the suppression of rapid-fire machine guns. Not to mention the heavy damage, he even lost all his luggage and fled back in desperation.

The loss of the "train" alone has been reported five times in one month since the start of the war.

The rebel spread the news in Swan City, and the Nongqing newspaper wrote an article praising "Minlar's high morals." And if there are pictures and the truth, attach photos of the seized imperial materials.

Iron Star's article said that he is the "captain of transportation", "comrade Jianguo lurking in the depths of the empire", and "the revolution of the curve". Such rumors even spread in the imperial capital.

His ancestor was the Marshal of the Empire, and Minlar, who graduated from the Imperial Battle Academy, was extremely aggrieved with these black and white photos in newspapers.

The metal table in the core flagship chariot was hit hard by him, hammering out steel depressions and cracks. (Blessed by the concept field, he can press metal with his fist.)

In this contest between generals, the existence of Enma is a satire on the generals of the empire.

Min Laer looked at the outer area of ​​Swan City, a large area of ​​pink pan-guerrilla main force, tightly clenched teeth behind tightly pursed lips.

As for Iron Star's commander ability, Minlar didn't want to admit it.

What is his origin? The family of marshals of the empire (four generations and three princes). There are several theories about Enma's origin.

Rumor 1: A guy who was born in the lower class of the city and made a fortune.

Rumor 2: He is the illegitimate son of a dead factory owner (Majack)

Rumor 3: A lucky kid from the country

Anyway, behind every legend, the identity of Enma's origin cannot be seen by Minlaer, and he is not even qualified to be his servant. But it's just this guy who hasn't taken a day of regular military academy classes in the empire, but now he still doesn't accept his military sanctions.

So much so that the small newspapers of the empire, when talking about it, no longer respect the blood of those famous generals of the empire.

...

Of course, there was another reason that made him so irritable, and that was the arrival of reinforcements from the Anglo side. This was not only to help suppress the rebellion, but also to take away His Highness the Princess whom he had always admired.

This was the regent's decision, as well as the imperial parliament's decision. Naturally, he couldn't express his irritability, so he could only pour all his hatred on the 'hillies' rebels.

Today, while he was drinking, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

He originally wanted to scold the guy who disturbed his rest at this time, but he realized that it was an intelligence officer, so he suppressed his emotions, straightened his coat and hat and said, "Let him in."

Five minutes later, when the intelligence agent introduced a directory, Minlar immediately grabbed the information and quickly browsed it by himself.

After flipping through the summary, he murmured: "The bandits want to evacuate! Uh (he burped)"

The intelligence officer on the side said: "Yes, my lord, the Anglos have landed on the northern front and have exchanged fire with the peasant rebels. Now Enma is dispatching troops to try to block the Anglos' landing at this strategic port." .”

Minlar hammered his left palm with his right fist, and agreed: "That's it, so they want to escape!" Then he stared at the map with burning eyes, muttered to himself, and said fiercely: "But, I How could I let you escape!"

The general thought to himself: "I should be the one to exterminate the imperial rebels, the Anglos, heh, they were at war with the empire two years ago, and now they are here to help the empire? What good intentions do they have!"

Minlar has fallen into his own subjective assumptions.

If it was the ancient times, when it involved such an important historical moment, there would definitely be gods sending oracles to intervene in this war, or asking the priests to directly convey the message to the empire to prevent the general from sending it.

But at the moment, when Wei Keng and the gods started the "quantum interference check" with each other, in order not to expose their high-dimensional nodes, the gods would not interfere with key figures in such a major military battle.

This rule is currently very strong, and the gods even hope that Wei Keng will take the initiative to break it.

But Wei Keng didn't go beyond anything in this respect. As a mortal, he didn't have "transcendent" to suppress his opponent's choice.

...God is actually a top team player...

Right now, Minlar is about to fall into the pit, purely in a mortal-level strategic confrontation, and his sanity is affected by his own inherent flaws.

If the god is now, if "cheating" forces him to wake up, let him lose his arrogance and recognize the cruelty of war.

So what about the hard work of millions of people at the Agricultural Youth Association? Modern gods would not be willing to provoke this "cause and effect", the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.

You must know that in the tide triggered by Wei Keng, ordinary people are currently thinking along the concept of the new gods. If Minlar is changed abruptly, it will severely damage their (new gods) beliefs in the general public's thinking.

This is equivalent to gods eating shit, and a group of gods eating shit together.

Minlar got into his chariot, and brought with him fifteen "heavy infantry" (300-ton twin-mounted 240mm caliber), three "heavy knight-level" chariots, two energy destroyers (400 tons, the main weapon is a quadruple 70mm caliber rapid-fire gun, and an energy emitter), and four anti-aircraft helicopters, (120 tons, steam jet power)

The sudden northward movement of one of the six elite troops in the bandit suppression zone in the central part of the empire aroused the sensitivity of other friendly forces in the empire.

One hundred and forty kilometers away.

General Henry (Level 7 hero unit), after confirming that he and the young man (Minlar) who assisted in the encirclement and suppression of the rebels around Swan City, suddenly headed north. The first time he felt that the information was wrong.

But after he got the telegram sent by Minlar himself, the bearded army chief was furious.

General Henry held the command knife, picked up the map on the side, and unfolded it on his desktop. He looked at Minlar's marching route, and cursed in a low voice: "Do you think this can change the ending?"

Obviously Henry's focus is not on Minlar's military adventures, he is not worried about the annihilation of Minral's entire army.

During these months of war, Henry also hated the harassment of this peasant-industrial army.

But it is limited to disgust, and there is still contempt and arrogance in the disgust. In his eyes, even if the revolutionary party of Enma, a villager, has the status of a hero, he is still a pariah, unable to stand on the stage, and dare not confront the imperial army. .

What Henry cares about: Minlar is pursuing the unattainable. That is Her Royal Highness.

The entire imperial aristocratic circle knew that Minlar and Her Royal Highness were of the same age, and that Minral had feelings for the princess that went beyond friendship. But now the princess is marrying an Anglo prince, which is an established fact of the empire.

Although the entire upper-class circle didn't say anything, they were already on guard.

At this time, Minlar went north, and the so-called pursuit of the rebels was hard to prevent the empire from being suspicious.

Henry: "Call me the steam helicopter, I'll chase him."

Henry, the seventh-level hero, still left the army in place, and chased to the front line by himself. And the choice he thought he was very mature at this time will become something he regrets for the rest of his life.

Where does war come from so many styles. People with good backgrounds are not the protagonists of fate now.
