Chapter 278: The Third Step of the Poison Needle (Part II)
"It seems that the level 2 troops of the Mars Empire are really poor, with the help of the terrain checkpoint of the 400-person squad against our 400-man regular troops, they can't even resist for 15 minutes, in exchange for our young men from the reserve army and militia troops, with the help of such terrain, in the case of a surprise attack, it seems that the next battle will be a little boring............." Donald, the commander of the 5th Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Sun, who rode a European purebred dark horse, and his deputy, That is, the deputy commander of the 5th Heavy Infantry Regiment, Rearnas, was escorted by 50 generals and members of the guard, and a checkpoint in the Mars Empire that had just been captured half an hour ago, and behind him was a torrent of steel composed of members of the 5th Heavy Infantry Regiment.
"But what you're talking about will have to wait at least six or seven days." After hearing Donald's words, Rearnas said with a wry smile and helplessness. As for Rearnath's response, Donald's face immediately became as helpless as him, and he complained slightly unhappily: "Your Majesty Sun Lin is also true, although our regiment is not currently equipped with heavy siege weapons and strategic weapons, but our regiment is very sufficient in terms of both quantity and ammunition for light strategic weapons such as throwing cans and bows, and with nearly 20,000 Silver Star soldiers, our regiment is obviously capable of continuing to attack, why do you have to engage in this kind of round combat method to advance?" ”
"If you don't have this kind of system, do you want our soldiers to crawl to attack the city?" Rearnath scolded with a smile and said: "No wonder when Sun Linmian appointed you, he wanted to transfer me, the commander of the 6th Heavy Infantry Regiment, here as your deputy, although you are an excellent commander on the battlefield, you are not even a fart in other aspects, and you want me to wipe your ass at the end." ”
"Stinky boy, you dare to say Lao Tzu, then tell me what I just said, is there anything wrong?" Donald said unconvinced.
"Donald, tell me, how did we get to this neighborhood before?" Rearnath asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense, of course, it's a run, otherwise how could we have marched hundreds of miles to get here within the time specified by Sun Linmian, and for this reason, Lao Tzu threw away those camping tents." Donald said with a pained face, "If we don't throw away those things that don't have them, can we get to this level so quickly?" ”
"Isn't that enough, the next thing that stands in our way is a small city called Daldran, which is nearly 400 miles away, and are you sure that our lad will be able to run another 400 miles with his equipment, food, and baggage after running for hundreds of miles?" Rynas covered his forehead and said speechlessly: "Or are you preparing this equipment on our body to be thrown away to lighten the burden, aren't you afraid that when the time comes, Sun Lin Mian will skin you on the spot and sleep peacefully when he learns that you have discarded a large number of precious all-round plate armor to speed up the march?" ”
Donald was stunned when he heard Rearnas's answer, and then looked back, forgetting that he realized that the soldiers in his regiment, although their own physical strength and endurance were much stronger than ordinary people, and they could still run forward in a phalanx mode at this time, but most of the soldiers who never set the sun had begun to gasp for breath, and many soldiers began to stumble.
"Well.......... it seems that there is some truth to what you said." Donald said with a sober face: "It turns out that His Majesty wants to divide nearly 100,000 soldiers who do not set the sun into 5 groups, and the purpose of marching in the form of ladders is to squeeze out some time so that the soldiers who participate in the poison needle plan can have a chance to rest, so as to maintain the best condition to participate in the battle." ”
"Nonsense, otherwise you think Sun Lin doesn't want our 5th Regiment to be bulldozed directly in front of the Mars Imperial City? But this level is still more than a few thousand miles away from the broken imperial city of the Mars Empire, and we have been tired for 4 days to travel more than 600 miles, do you think we still have the ability to run the next thousands of miles? ”
"Oh yes.......... by the way, the war eagle should have already been sent out, right?"
"Well, it's already been sent, and it should have been searched for by His Majesty." Just as Rynas said, at this time, on the stone road nearly 50 miles away from the 5th Regiment's capture of the checkpoint, Sun Lin, who was riding in snow, had just received news from the 5th Regiment.
After reading the battle report, Sun Lin tore up the battle report in his hand, and then shouted loudly: "Herald! The herald ordered the whole army to begin a rapid march, and no one was allowed to stop until it reached the city of Erderland! I ate while running, and if I wanted to go to the toilet, whether it was big or small, I would pull it into my pants and wait until I arrived at my destination. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! After receiving the order, the herald immediately retreated, and the 1st Echelon Column, which was originally on foot, and all the nearly 20,000 soldiers who never set the sun also began to run.
"Your Majesty, the distance of more than 600 miles will take our army to the end within 3 days, will this be too much?" Beside Sun Lin, the deputy captain of the Royal Knight Guard, who is currently replacing the position of captain of the Leo Guard, asked after Sun Lin gave the order, "This kind of thing is simply impossible?" ”
"Why can't it be?" Sun Lin asked rhetorically: "And let me ask you, how did we get this distance of more than 600 miles?" ”
"Of course, it is calculated according to the length of the stone path between the departure point and the destination."
"Then my deputy guard, have you ever heard of the shortest straight line between two points?" Sun Lin said helplessly: "Do you really think that what the official said about us going to run thousands of miles is true?" Or do you really think that the distance between Riley and the Imperial City of Mars is thousands of miles? No kidding, but the distance between them is only 3,000 miles at most. ”
It's like an infinite loop.,When 1 o'clock in the middle of the night on January 10th, running 600 miles.,In fact, because it has an earthen compass (of course, a little historical connotation can be called "Sinan", that is, the type of compass currently used by Sun Lin, as for what Sun Lin's army can be equipped with............. please, the protagonist can have a compass on the ship, and this kind of compass tool that appeared in the Warring States period can't be made? With the help of Sun Lin, Sun Lin was very strong and shortened the distance by more than one-third.
It is also because of the use of the compass by the 5th ladder column that nearly 100,000 soldiers who never set the sun have made a feat that the world cannot imagine at present: after the 5th echelon column troops took turns to capture the checkpoints and the towns that must be passed through Mars, the 4th echelon column of the poison needle plan, that is, the ladder column led by Andrelt, appeared on the stone road 30 miles away from the imperial city of Mars at about 4 pm on January 28.
