Chapter 512: The Battle of Parfield (VI)
Update in time, "I really can't see it, those old men really look up to me." ”
Garcia couldn't help but whistle as he watched the fire in the distance, and he crouched on the rudimentary wall, staring at the spark that had gradually joined together with a cunning and mocking smile, and suddenly looked at it, even giving the illusion that they had been surrounded by tens of thousands of troops. At present, the top of the clouds and mist is full of only a thousand people, not to mention that if the wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn from the front-line outposts with great difficulty and have no combat effectiveness to speak of, then the number of people who can fight will be even smaller. However, according to reports from the front, at least 3,000 men were now heading to besiege the fortress——— as the saying goes, three times as many as the defenders of the city would be able to win, and now it seems that this condition has been met.
Behind this sloppy commander, it was obviously impossible for the soldiers to learn from their commander and enjoy this rare night scene at a leisurely pace. The fortress was already brightly lit at the moment, and the soldiers were busy carrying supplies, lowering stone slabs, blocking the gates, and repairing the broken walls, making the fortress as strong as possible so that it could be useful in the coming battle.
While they themselves know that this doesn't necessarily work, it's much better than doing nothing.
But for how long?
No one knows the answer.
"Before dawn!! We're going to take this fortress before dawn! 1
A fist slammed into the military map in front of him, and Thorn's eyes were red. He stared at his men in front of him, but their reaction disappointed Thorn, as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army in charge of the Pafield theater, Thorn's majesty did not affect these veterans. They just stood there looking respectful at the moment, but Thorn knew very well that the guys weren't taking their words to heart at all.
As the commander-in-chief of the theater of operations, Thorn was also well aware. His ascension to the throne was not so easy to accept, he was originally just an ordinary general of the Southern Army, but after this reformist declared independence. He chose to join the reformers, and it was for this reason that the reformers sent him as the acting commander of the Southern Corps in charge of the front-line battles in Parfield. Command the invasion of Parfield. And that's how Thorn rose from the rank of ordinary member of his many colleagues to become their superior.
The person who has been on an equal footing with him for a long time has not received any merits but suddenly became his boss, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many people within the Southern Legion. But now the situation is stronger than people, and Thorn is standing behind the reformers, so although most people are unhappy, they can only press it down and say nothing. Thorn himself is well aware of this. So he was desperate to build up his merits———— and if he could show his talent in the battle against Parfield, he might be able to impress the reformers, and at that point, it would not be a dream to remove the word "agent" from his head and turn him into a regular officer.
Originally, Thorn was not worried about the battle at Parfield, and the combat effectiveness of the northern defense line was weak. The dispersion of combat power has long been known in the army, and there is no need to send spies, and anyone knows that there is no threat worth worrying about in this ghost place. In Thorn's expectation, as long as he is steady, it won't be long before he can take the top of the clouds. At that time, with this military fortress as a presence, a full-scale invasion of Parfield can be launched, and at that time, he will be able to rely on the fortress of the top of the clouds and the occupied areas under his control to put forward his own conditions and demands to the reformers, and thus obtain greater benefits and prestige............
