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

Midnight, Macedonian Arsenal.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of artillery fire suddenly arose, and Davis, who had been mentally prepared, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

"They've started the general attack!"

The officers in the command room had solemn expressions on their faces, because during the day, the Yan army had been spotted many times outside the factory area, which made them dare not leave the factory easily. They only strengthened the defensive fortifications outside the factory area.

And now the sound of artillery fire is so fierce, which further proves that Yanjun will launch a general attack on the factory area tonight.

A moment later, the sentry hurried into the command room to report the current situation:

"The enemy launched an artillery attack on our position four kilometers outside the factory area."

Hearing this, Davis nodded and said:

"Just hold your ground. Don't worry too much. Our fortifications are strong and they can't break in easily."

"The current shelling is just the beginning. When their troops launch a charge towards the factory, that's when we will strike back."

"Yes, sir!"

Lieutenant General Harris, who had woken up from a coma in the evening, was also in the command room. He said to Davis in a deep voice:

"The troops in Port Brulo should have known the Yan Army's plan. If the reinforcements are fast, they should be on the way."

Davis glanced at him and said, "Not bad."

"But the enemy is just outside us, and the way out seems to have been blocked by the enemy. We have no way to confirm the location of the reinforcements."

Harris's face was gloomy. He said, "Then we can only let them bomb our factory."

Davis said coldly:

"Although their shells are very powerful, the factory is strong enough to withstand it. Bombing them blindly will only consume their shells."

"Hmph, let's see how long they can bomb."

After that, he turned to the sentry and said, "Pay attention. The enemy should launch a surprise attack after bombarding for a while."

"In addition, we must always pay attention to the extent of damage to our fortifications."

"Yes, sir!" The sentry left immediately.

Four kilometers outside the factory, the Yan Army deployed 128 artillery vehicles to bombard the location of the Macedonian military factory in rounds.

The field of vision on land is much more limited than on the sea, and it is now midnight, so the gunners can only estimate the approximate direction of the Macedonian arsenal based on the field of vision they gained during the day and then bombard it.

Such bombardment would certainly not have much effect unless they continued to advance, which they did not do.

Moreover, these 128 artillery pieces are only one part of the force of the Yan Army's artillery battalion, and more troops are currently on standby.

In the military camp, Qin Ze stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking towards the rear of the camp.

-

Dingle Barracks.

The soldiers who had rushed all the way from Port Brulo began to rest at around ten o'clock. Everyone was exhausted at that time. They finally waited for the time to rest, but as soon as it was past midnight, they could hear faint sounds in the distance.

If it were during the day, such a noise would not be a big deal, but when it happened at night before a major war, the soldiers had no way of pretending not to hear it. They could only listen nervously to the sound in the distance while waiting for orders from their superiors.

Their superiors had already been alarmed by the noises and were holding an emergency meeting.

In the tent, Lieutenant General Harbour stared with bloodshot eyes and said through gritted teeth:

"These damn guys actually chose to attack the military factory at this time."

Unlike Lieutenant General Harbaugh, whose eyes were bloodshot and who looked exhausted, Clay, who had been stationed here early and had fully rested, looked radiant at this moment, and could even be said to be so excited that his face was flushed.

"They are anxious! They are finally anxious!"

"I thought the Yan Army would break out in the direction of Foster Port tonight, but they chose to go all out and launch an offensive towards the Macedonian military factory. This is enough to show that they have gone crazy now."

"This is a good time for us! If we attack now, we can force them into a desperate situation!" he said in a loud voice.

These words were recognized by many people.

Li Geer followed up and said: "We can definitely defend the military factory. The Yan army can't attack it. We will kill them from behind and we will definitely annihilate them all tonight!"

Lieutenant General Hopkins followed suit, saying fiercely, "Indeed, but if we want to attack, I think we can wait another hour or two."

"When they are attacking the military factory most fiercely, we will quickly launch a fierce attack and cut them off at the critical moment!"

"Yes! Nothing will happen to the military factory in the short term. You just got here tonight, so there's no problem with taking a while to rest and replenish your strength." Klein said to Hopkins.

Everyone was talking at once, but Dinger had a gloomy face and remained silent, with a serious look on his face.

"Sir? Do you think there's something wrong?" Klein keenly noticed Dingle's abnormality.

"There are some problems." Dingle rubbed his brows. Like Lieutenant General Harbaugh, the long march had made Dingle extremely tired, and he was just trying to cheer up.

"What's the problem?" Klein asked.

"It went too smoothly." Dingle shook his head.

"Too smooth?" Lieutenant General Harbaugh and Klein looked at each other and frowned.

Dinger bit his lip and said slowly after two seconds of silence:

"Yes, it went too smoothly. From the time Klein led the army to the Macedonian military factory, but encountered the Yan army on the way, until now, everything that happened during this period of time has been too smooth."

"We did a lot of things. Klein was setting up defenses and cutting off the retreat of the Yan army, and I was rushing to join them with more troops. But what about the Yan army? They didn't seem to do anything. They were just stationed outside the military factory and waiting. It was hard not to feel weird for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Klein held his chin and said, "Sir, they have been trying to break through our defenses tonight and report back. How can this be called doing nothing?"

"All we can say is that they have tried everything they can."

Dinger still shook his head and said, "They pretended to attack Bruce Port, but launched a surprise attack on Foster Port. The commander of the Yan people is not incompetent."

"It is not a good idea to attack the Macedonian military factory with a single force now."

"When they sent out the troops, they should have been prepared to have a backup plan in case of an unexpected event. As for being forced into a desperate situation and having to attack the Macedonian military factory, this shows that their tactics were even worse."

At this point, Dingle raised his head and continued word by word:

“The difference between the enemy’s tactics before and after was so huge that it’s hard to imagine that they were all done by one person.

"For us, it was just too smooth, as if the Yan army was waiting for us to attack them."

After these words fell, Klein frowned and fell into deep thought.

Harbaugh on the side smacked his lips and said, "I'm just saying one more thing, Dinger, please don't mind."

Dingle nodded slightly.

Harbaugh then continued, "Actually, I don't think it's as complicated as you think. The Yan Army's previous attack on Foster Port was successful because they had control of the sea, which is a huge advantage for them. Therefore, the tactic of attacking Foster Port was not too brilliant. But this time is different. This is within our territory."

"They didn't have any terrain advantages. They simply and roughly seized Foster Port and found that the military factory was not far from Foster Port. That's why they sent a team of soldiers to capture the military factory and achieve strategic results as quickly as possible. The large amount of supplies in the military factory can also replenish them."

After listening to these words, Dinger was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said:

“Maybe it’s really that simple.”

"But no matter what, we will hold our ground for now and let the soldiers rest for a while."

"Let the Yan people fight. I want to see if they are really launching a general attack on the military factory."

"Does anyone have any other opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads. Klein glanced at Dingle. He opened his mouth but took the words back.
