Chapter 157 Total War: Assault, Armed Forces Behind the Enemy?

The Star Luo Empire has a small town on the edge of the Star Dou Forest. Relying on the rich resources of the Star Dou Forest, the residents of the town can live a self-sufficient life.

Today the town is still quiet and peaceful, the sun is high in the sky, and the breeze is blowing, bringing the fresh breath of the forest.

There are some children playing in the square, holding some wooden toys in their hands, making various sounds and movements.

Their parents were watching them, smiling happily.

There were some young people in the tavern drinking and chatting, they were talking about recent events, such as the tension between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, and that mysterious and alluring creature bracelet.

They are very curious about these things, but they are not too worried, because they feel that these things are far away from them and will not affect their peaceful and happy life.

However, accidents always come unexpectedly like this. The birds in the forest bell seemed to be startled by something, and they left their perching trees and flew into the sky, making piercing chirps.

The plowing farmers were surprised to see groups of heavily armed knights appearing from the deep forest, followed by some dark carriages.

The knights wore iron armor, held spears, wore steel helmets, and had ruthless eyes.

The armor style of these knights is obviously the style of the Heaven Dou Empire.

They scanned the town with indifferent eyes, ignoring the frightened and curious eyes.

They didn't stop or rest either, they just rode fast all the way, as if they wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

The residents of the small town were panicked by the sudden change. Some tried to escape, but they were all ignored by the knights.

Some could only hide in their homes, praying that these strangers would do nothing to them.

Children in the square clung to their parents, young men in taverns clutched weapons and tools nervously, ready for anything that might come their way.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw those knights finally disappearing into the distance.

The town quickly returned to calm and peace, but some doubts and worries were left behind. The original quiet and peaceful atmosphere was replaced by surprise and uneasiness.

The news that unknown troops appeared in the hinterland of the Star Luo Empire shocked Dai Shiduo, who was still in a tense confrontation at the front line, and now he was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the latest information.

At this time, he heard the order from the guards, and he hurriedly ran out of the command tent, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the carrier pigeons flying in the sky.

He saw a white carrier pigeon with a red ribbon tied on its back, which was the signal of the highest emergency level in the Star Luo Empire.

His heart sank, and he quickly asked the adjutant to take the pigeon and opened the letter.

He saw those few words that made him tremble with fear at a glance: The Heaven Dou Empire raided Gengxin City.

The direction of that group of troops is clearly the most important material hub, Gengxin City. Because of the previous bond chaos, the only materials currently available are concentrated here. In danger of being cut off.

Thinking of the chill running up his spine, Dai Shiduo shivered.

Looking up at the Tiandou Empire's camp opposite, he couldn't help wondering: Is this a plot by the Tiandou Empire?How did they sneak around the Star Luo Empire's defenses and appear in the hinterland?
Are they trying to force the Star Luo Empire to retreat in this way!
He felt an unprecedented pressure and crisis, and he knew he had to make a decision: should he stick to the front line, or return to aid Gengxin City?
The bombardment from the soul guides of the Heaven Dou Empire has become more and more intense these days, and messengers keep bringing news that the city wall is in a hurry.

Dai Shiduo walked out of the command tent, looked at the flames and explosions flying in the sky, and heard the shouts and wailing of the soldiers on the city wall, feeling heavy in his heart.

He knew he had to make a choice quickly.

It's not supposed to be like this, and it's all because of the damn bond!

The sudden withdrawal of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect directly cut off the supply of biological bracelets, the biggest anchor of bonds, and these irredeemable bonds became a piece of scrap paper. Some people made a lot of money in this turmoil , But most people lose their life savings.

Many front-line soldiers were involved in this bond crisis, and even because of this, the military's supplies have become stretched.

The originally convenient and easy-to-use Golden Soul Coin stored-value card also began to fail, the bank could not exchange the currency, and the merchants did not recognize this point.

The logistics officer could only guard the stored-value cards that could not be redeemed, tearing his hair helplessly.

He ran to Dai Shiduo, crying about his predicament, hoping that Dai Shiduo could find a solution.

And more soldiers were very depressed because they lost their savings. They heard that in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still recognized this kind of bond, which made them lose their fighting spirit.

They debated in private whether they should surrender or flee.

Dai Shiduo felt an unprecedented powerlessness and despair. He knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible: should he stick to the front line, or return to help Gengxin City?
At this time, the order from the rear was transmitted to Dai Shiduo. It was an order from the king to abandon the line of defense and fight the invading enemy at the preset position outside Gengxin City with the city behind.

This order broke Dai Shiduo's dilemma, but he still had a problem to solve, how to retreat safely with these vital forces.

Looking at the armament warehouse not far away, a thought flashed through Dai Shiduo's mind.

He ordered the captain of the cavalry to lead his squad to a distant place, and then use the horse to drag the broom to raise the dust and move towards the pass.

He wanted to create the illusion that a large number of reinforcements were coming, to attract the attention of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He ordered the adjutant to prepare scarecrows and more torches, and to light more fires during the cooking process.

Make the ramparts look crowded and full of fire, and fake that they are fortifying.

Then he ordered those military technicians, he needed those soul guides to fire automatically at a certain time interval with low power.

De Shiduo doesn't need precision, he just needs these soul guides to continue to output firepower until they successfully retreat after dawn.

This can make them look like they are still persistently resisting, making the enemy generals suspicious and afraid to attack easily.

Under these covers, at night he quietly left the city wall with most of his soldiers and supplies, and retreated towards Gengxin City.

He prayed that his strategy would be successful, so that they could reach Gengxin City safely.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sharp-eyed scouts reported the truth to the general's camp, the generals of the Heaven Dou Empire finally reacted and ordered the army's tentative attack to be on alert all night.

He rushed to the city wall with an elite cavalry team, but he didn't expect that what he encountered was an empty city plan.

When he finally boarded the city wall that had been captured in less than a quarter of an hour, he looked at the burning torches, the disguised scarecrows, and the soul tool that was still loyally releasing attacks, and he was so angry that he put his helmet on his head. One fell to the ground.

He realized that he had been tricked by Dai Shiduo of the Star Luo Empire. Not only did he not stop them from retreating, but he allowed them to retreat smoothly. Next, he needed to arrange for the transformation and defense of this pass to strengthen it into a forward base. He had already Lost the opportunity to pursue Dai Shiduo.

When Dai Shiduo retreated to the vicinity of Gengxin City with his vital forces, he was stunned by the news he received.

He originally thought that the mysterious team would choose to attack the city recklessly, trying to take down this important material hub in one fell swoop.

He was ready to fight, ready to fight them to the death.

But I didn't expect that the team didn't do this, but intercepted and killed the supply road along their supply route. Many transit warehouses were attacked, looted or burned.

After the generals in the rear made the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, this sub-force maintained a strong combat power strangely, and there was no problem of difficulty in supplying at all.

The intelligence showed that this cavalry was targeting the territories and large farms of various lords. They encouraged the serfs to betray their masters, broke through the fortresses of the lords and landlords, distributed the hoarded food and burned those land deeds and slave contracts. This made the nobles complain endlessly. .

They also spread some leaflets and slogans, proclaiming that the Heaven Dou Empire is a free and equal country, and everyone is welcome to join them.

In this way, they not only disrupted the logistics and order of the Star Luo Empire, but also provoked conflicts and dissatisfaction within the Star Luo Empire.

Bad news came one after another, and Dai Shiduo felt an unprecedented pressure and crisis.

Compared to the head-on war in the original book where there is no strategy at all, Tiandou's plan is a bit wrong now, isn't it?
