The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Inside the Yan Army camp.

"Your Majesty, the breakout failed."

"We evacuated quickly, and they didn't chase us. We didn't lose any men."

The three cavalry units that "returned empty-handed" returned to the military camp, and the leading captain said this to Qin Ze. Although this seemed to be bad news, a faint smile appeared on the captain's face.

But after hearing his report, Qin Ze smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Okay, good job."

"In an hour, we will break out again, and this time bring more people with us." Qin Ze said with a laugh.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Ze turned to the messenger and said, "After midnight, launch an artillery attack on the Macedonian military factory. The momentum must be large."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After giving the two orders, Qin Ze turned around and sat back in his chair, looking at the burning fire in front of him, holding his chin and thinking.

Just after half past seven, after receiving the first message sent back by Klein, Dingle fell into deep thought as he was rushing to join the army.

"Klein believes that there is a possibility that the enemy will surround and attack the reinforcements. Dinggel, do you think this possibility is high?" asked Lieutenant General Harbaugh, who was riding on a warhorse.

Dingle remained silent, still thinking.

"Cough cough cough."

Lieutenant General Hopkins on the side coughed a few times and said, "Besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements can only be done if they have a strong military force."

"If they don't have a strong military force, they will just be trapped in an encirclement."

Dinger responded, "Yes, but judging from the signs they have shown so far, there is indeed such a possibility."

"The cunning of the Yan people was already demonstrated during the attack on Port Foster."

"And if they really want to siege the enemy, then this army will definitely be the main force, and vice versa..."

At this point, his face darkened and he said, "Foster Harbor is in a state of vacant troops, but we mistakenly thought it was heavily guarded."

"If that's true, then the technique of switching between the real and the imaginary is very clever."

"It seems like something the Yan people can do."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed. Lieutenant General Harbaugh immediately asked: "Then should we change the marching route?"

Dingle shook his head: "It's all speculation, there is no intelligence to support it."

"But we can't rule out this possibility. We may have to go to Port Foster before joining up with Klein's troops... But... this may delay the battle."

Dingle hesitated.

"Why not divide the troops?"

"Send half of the troops to Port Foster, and the other half to join Klein's troops. If there are not many enemy troops outside the Macedonian arsenal, they will not be able to pose much threat to the arsenal in a short period of time. We can take this time to find out whether Port Foster is heavily guarded." Harbaugh said hesitantly.

As soon as the words "divide the troops" appeared, Dingle's nerves were suddenly touched.

"No."

"Then we are in a passive position again."

"This may make it impossible for us to eliminate either of the two enemy forces."

"Could this also be a cheat?" Dingle frowned and muttered to himself.

After some thought, Dinger's face darkened and he said, "From landing to attacking the Macedonian military factory, it took no more than two days, and it was within our borders. How could they have the courage to surround and attack the reinforcements?"

"It's not realistic." He shook his head.

"The plan remains unchanged. We will join forces with Klein's army and continue our attack on the Yan army."

Having said that, Dinger's heart had already begun to waver, and an inexplicable sense of crisis had already entangled in his heart.

But soon, more than twenty minutes later, the second messenger sent by Klein brought the latest news.

It was the news about the failure of Yan’s army to break out.

After receiving this information, the officers led by Lieutenant General Harbaugh breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Yan Army's message was intercepted. Obviously, there are not many troops there, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry to go back and report."

"Dingle, our battle plan is correct!" Lieutenant General Harbaugh said to Dingle.

Dinger's worries also subsided a lot. He nodded and said:

"They chose to report at night. It seems that they are short of troops. So tonight is particularly important to them. Next, they should try their best to go back and report."

“And if we are intercepted every time…”

He raised his head and looked forward, his expression becoming particularly grim.

"They will either launch a general attack on Klein's army, or they will have to find a way to evacuate."

Lieutenant General Harbaugh shook his head and said, "Our retreat has been blocked. We have no way to retreat."

"If we want to retreat, we can only retreat deeper inland."

"But that will only be eliminated faster."

"As for the attack... Klein said that they have already arranged a defense line and we will arrive soon. Even if they launch a general attack now, it will be useless because they don't have too many troops."

Having said that, the corners of his mouth raised and a smile appeared on his face.

But Dingle frowned and fell into longer contemplation.

-

Inside Klein Military Camp.

"Bang bang bang."

The gunshots rang out again, but Klein was no longer nervous about it.

Since nightfall, the enemy's several small-scale breakouts have been intercepted. He could imagine the enemy's urgent predicament at this moment.

Without any surprise, after a while, the gunfire died down and the sentry brought the news that the enemy had fled.

"They have tried all the routes, and now they are completely out of options." Outside the tent, Riegl said to Klein with a smile.

Klein nodded and said, "But we can't be careless."

"An enemy trapped in a corner is a formidable one."

"If they choose to go all out, they may launch a general attack on us tonight and fight to break out."

After these words came out, Li Geer restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there should be a large-scale battle tonight."

But the battle that Riegl had expected did not happen. On the contrary, a piece of good news came to them as time went by.

Before half past nine, reinforcements led by Dingle arrived.

They were supposed to meet up around ten o'clock, but Dinger was worried that the Yan army would launch a full-scale general attack to break out, so he forced the troops to march faster, and they arrived half an hour earlier.

In this way, the two armies finally joined together, with a total force of more than 170,000.

This is the largest combat force that can be mobilized at the moment in the western theater close to the coastline. Apart from this, only the army group at the Heinrich Military Base, which is also in the west but farther away from the coastline, is better.

Most of the rest of the empire's military forces are concentrated in the central region centered on the holy city of Salvia.

After the two armies joined forces, Klein immediately reported to the new temporary commander Dinggel the information that the Yan Army had broken through and reported the news several times tonight.

After finishing the report, Dinger nodded and said:

"Well done, two generals. The actions you have taken will surely help us achieve victory in the next battle!"

Klein and Riegl looked at each other, and Klein asked, "Sir, now that we have joined forces, when will we launch a general attack on the enemy?"

Although he raised the question, Klein had already realized that the army that had just arrived was exhausted. If they continued to fight, the combat effectiveness they could exert would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Dingle certainly understood the problem and replied, "There's no need to worry since we've already reunited."

"Now what we have to do is rest and wait."

Rest and recuperation were certainly necessary, but the waiting made the officers somewhat confused.

But before they could ask, Klein explained for Dingle: "Wait for the enemy's next move and see what signal they will send."

Dingle nodded and cast his gaze into the howling cold wind in the night.
