Chapter 1346 Scheming
Now turn the camera back to the frontier fortresses on the eastern side of Robert Smith's empire.
Supplies were robbed, such a big thing obviously could not be concealed.
Not to mention that during this period of time, as the general of the Eastern Territory Corps, Liu Meng was of course not idle.
Successfully robbing the supplies on the opposite side is a great opportunity, how can we not make good use of it?
In this way, all kinds of rumors suddenly spread on this border battlefield.
"The supplies were robbed by the enemy."
"There's not much food left in the fortress, and if it goes on like this, it's going to run out of food!"
Similar remarks quickly spread among the soldiers in the frontier fortress. In just a few days, a trend that became more and more intense, made the entire fortress panic.
Many soldiers went straight to the granary that day, wanting to confirm with their own eyes the food reserves in the fortress.
However, it was found that the soldiers on duty outside the granary had all been replaced by the general's personal soldiers.
A team of personal soldiers stopped there, and they naturally couldn't confirm it at all.
However, this approach, to some extent, has further exacerbated the situation.
But the defenders of the Eastern Fortress had no choice at all.
Within their fortress, the food reserves are running out, this is a fact.
Whether the soldiers went in to confirm with their own eyes, or failed to confirm with their own eyes, the negative impact caused in the end will basically not change in any way.
Not to mention that he now has to issue another order...
That is, starting from today, the daily distribution of food for each soldier is halved.
As soon as this order was issued, it immediately caused an uproar, making the tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress even more restless.
However, as said earlier, he had no choice.
The only thing that can be done is to appease those soldiers as much as possible, and emphasize loudly that this is just a small accident, and the supplies of the empire will be delivered soon.
But for his statement, the soldiers are undoubtedly dubious.
As the one who cannot defend, what are you most afraid of? The most feared thing is that there is an internal problem!
Liu Meng's move is clearly a scheming plan to shake their military hearts!
Coupled with the daytime onslaught of the Eastern Frontier Corps, the uneasiness in their hearts, and the reduction of their daily meals, the condition of the Europa soldiers began to deteriorate.
After a defensive battle, the number of casualties obviously began to increase compared with the past.
Inside the fortress, the constant wailing of the wounded soldiers enveloped the entire camp in a haze that lingered.
In comparison, the Eastern Frontier Corps, which was pressed outside, was very imposing.
In the following days, Liu Meng unceremoniously launched several days of onslaught.
The elephant artillerymen cooperated with the dwarf artillery troops to pour out their firepower frantically, constantly suppressing the remaining morale of the Europa defenders.
The number of casualties is increasing day by day, and the medical room is not enough, so we can only set up tents in the open space of the fortress to accommodate the wounded.
The medical soldiers in the fortress have been busy these days, and the medical supplies are constantly being consumed. However, the number of wounded soldiers has not decreased at all.
After maintaining this state for three days, finally, within the border fortress, the first batch of wounded soldiers who died because they did not have time to rescue them appeared.
In fact, this is not a very rare thing. During the war, there were many wounded soldiers who were seriously injured because it was too late for rescue, or because the rescue was not effective. To a certain extent, this is simply It's the norm on the battlefield.
But Naihe is now a very sensitive and special period for this border fortress in the east. Anything will be magnified infinitely!
Once the news spread, the atmosphere in the fortress decisively became more restless.
The unease and anxiety of the soldiers were written directly on their faces.
Faced with this situation, as the defender of this eastern border fortress, he could only grit his teeth.
At the same time, telegrams were sent to the rear headquarters one after another, even if it was one or two trucks of supplies, send them over first, so that he could use this to appease the military.
The rear command, which received the emergency telegram from the frontline, knew that the situation on the border was not optimistic, so it naturally sent a reply quickly, saying that a transport convoy would set off immediately from the city closest to the east border fortress.
After confirming the news, the guard of the frontier fortress could be said to be greatly relieved, and quickly announced the news. At the same time, in order to increase his credibility, he also publicly ordered the strength of three regiments as a response. Troops, rush to respond.
This sworn practice does not seem like a fraud, it can be said that it has played a certain role, and finally calmed the wavering military heart temporarily.
However, the guard of the frontier fortress knew in his heart that the next step was the focus.
The previous batch of supplies was robbed, which means that the other party has been eyeing this piece.
Although the number of supplies sent in this batch was not large, only a few vehicles, but for their border fortress, it is of great significance, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is life-saving materials.
If possible, he would like to deploy more troops to respond.
However, the enemy army is attacking every day, coupled with the large number of casualties during this period, the number of troops in his hands has obviously begun to decline, and considering the security and defense of the fortress, he simply cannot be dispatched for a while. With too many troops, the strength of the three regiments can basically be said to be the limit.
Just in case, the troops of the three regiments set off ahead of schedule and rushed to pick up the supplies that were delivered.
They left very carefully, they should be trying to avoid the eyes and ears of the Eastern Legion, but who would have thought that the eyes and ears of the Eastern Legion were in the sky! All the actions of this frontier fortress obviously cannot escape the two giant eagles flying high in the sky!
At this moment, I saw that the two giant eagles exchanged a very human look, and the next second, the eagle's beak opened, and it was actually speaking directly...
"I'll follow and take a look, you go back and report the situation."
"it is good."
After the simple communication was over, the two giant eagles immediately moved apart.
A giant eagle directly followed the strength of the three regiments that had left the frontier fortress.
The other giant eagle quickly flew back to the camp of the Eastern Army, and turned into a human shape the moment it landed.
After quickly reporting the information he discovered, a meaningful flash flashed across Liu Meng's face in the big tent of the Chinese army.
In this era, if you want to ask for support, you only need a telegram to complete it, and now the other party has suddenly sent a large number of soldiers to leave the camp. What is the purpose, you can imagine!
"It seems that there are supplies from the opposite side, right?"
