Litina thought for a while, silently looked at the Stiljord Army in the distance, and said to her adjutant.
"How long can the water we bring last?"
Dimitri carefully estimated and said.
"Before breaking through the water gate, our supply ship sent over a batch of supplies, including fresh water. Emperor Ulrich has sent all the active ferry boats to bring us supplies, and has personally supervised the construction of the ship these days. But our army is too large, even if we rush to build more ships in the past few days, it is just a drop in the bucket.”
"Our remaining fresh water is only enough to last for about a week."
Litina thought about it, and said to Dimitri.
"Okay, I want you to build fortifications in front of our army. In this battle, we are the ones defending. Just use those broken ships, remove the wooden piles, iron plates, and artillery on them, and use them as cannons for the fortress Use, we have to defend long enough."
"At the same time, tell all soldiers to halve the daily water supply per person, stop bathing and other non-essential cleaning activities, use water as much as possible to maintain health, and do not quote and use all fresh water resources except the fresh water carried by our army. "
Dimitri didn't understand what Litina meant at all. He didn't understand. Why did he build defenses and shrink back when the time was running out and the army couldn't last long?
"The most important thing in war is to turn the enemy's advantage into your own advantage, so that you will be invincible."
"We are short of water, so let the enemy be more short of water than us."
After Litina finished speaking, she immediately sent dozens of soldiers with sharp legs and feet, filled with the plague-filled blood in the sea, and quickly spread towards the rear of Steeljord.
"From now on, I want you to spend one night polluting all the freshwater rivers in the interior of Stiljord, even if it is a small stream, don't let it go."
"They are fighting on their own land, backed by mountains and rivers. I bet that since they are in the inland of their own country and the river is still on their own territory, the army of Steeljord must not have stored fresh water."
Looking at the black elite soldiers in the distance, Litina looked at her inflamed and festering wounds, and felt her weakening body, but her eyes were clear.
"And... those ordinary people... also need to drink water..."
"Soldiers never tire of deceit, this is war, so how will you and your queen Sophia, King Vanleklov, face this waterless catastrophe?"
torment
When the pollution of the river was discovered, it was when the soldiers started to spread the disease, after most of the people drank the polluted river water, everyone showed the symptoms of the plague, coughing, dehydration, fever.
The most serious thing is that once a patient appears, Stiljord has to send a healthy soldier to take care of the wounded, which greatly reduces the strength of the Stiljord army.
Similarly, Litina's side is not very easy, the poison on the arrow has already exploded, tormenting her all the time, sapping her will, and devouring her life, but Litina knows that she can't die at this time , because she hadn't taken off the helmet of Van Leklov with her own hands.
Death by a poisoned arrow is the best reason for her to die for her country.
The usually omnipotent general had become fragile, thin, with sunken eye sockets, and spit out black blood from time to time.The soldiers on both sides are in a kind of torment. Although Litina blocked the news, she cannot hide her illness. Her soldiers will know, and Van Leklov will naturally know.
On the one hand, there is not enough water to drink, and on the other hand, there cannot be a group of dragons without a leader. This is a test for the soldiers and generals on both sides.
Van Leklov has launched more than one offensive. The fighting power of the soldiers of Stiljord is beyond doubt. They are natural fighters.Facing the enemy head-on, you can even fight ten against one.No commander is willing to fight them head-on, and so is Litina.
Although she herself was not afraid of those soldiers and wanted to have a good fight with them, she couldn't make fun of the lives of her soldiers.She has the determination to die, but her soldiers and generals, wives and children, and parents are waiting for them to return home. Although she never waived the net when she disobeyed the military order, she still sacrificed the lives of her soldiers during the war. Look first.
Lytina's soldiers used the damaged ships to create trenches, and the artillery on the destroyed ships became their land artillery for defense. One artillery was arranged every 30 meters, and the firepower crossed Let the brave soldiers who charged suffer unspeakably.
Kings and soldiers are going through the most severe test.
At this time in the army camp, Van Leklov was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in anxiety. The other party polluted all the rivers here. As an island country, this method is undoubtedly the most terrible tactic. At this time, Lytina has already Completely insane, she has no regard for anyone's life.But it's also the smartest thing about her.
"It's been two days, the soldiers are dehydrated every moment, the most important thing is the people..."
"Litina didn't intend to hide the despicable things she did at all. She sent people to the city and all the villages to publicize that the drinking water has been polluted. Not only our army, but the common people have also been plagued by plague. "
Sophia said to Van Leklov.
"Today, some people have surrendered to Litina. They don't have the firm will of you and the soldiers. They need water, and their families need water."
After hearing this, Fanliklov asked the queen.
"Then how did the Killing God deal with those people? Are they all executed?"
"Do not......"
Sophia replied.
"She gave them shelter, food and water, the same treatment as ordinary soldiers. At this time, as an invader, she has already won the hearts of the people..."
"Except for the local residents of Stiljord who are still holding on, for the glory and freedom of the country, but the people who fled from the other three countries and the small subsidiary countries have begun to move."
The queen pondered for a moment, then said seriously to the king.
"My love, now the whole country has no clean water supply. If our soldiers can't drink water today, they can only drink the water that is infected. Once our soldiers get sick, it will be the same as the lamb waiting to be slaughtered." There will be no difference!"
"And...and our daughter...she hasn't drank water for two days and can only rely on fruits to replenish her water. If this continues, sooner or later she will... "
Van Leklov sighed and looked outside the tent. At this time, on the seashore, Litina's incomparably strong fortress and a cannon placed every 30 meters filled his heart with despair.
"How is the digging for groundwater going?"
"It's all salt water."
replied the Queen.
"The purified and filtered fresh water is far from enough, my lord, my love, once tonight... we must risk drinking the polluted water!"
At this time, the soldiers in front of the investigation suddenly came to report, only to hear the man panting heavily, it seemed that he had been running for a long time, at this time he was so tired that he was about to faint, which was enough to see the urgency and urgency of this matter.
"Female... Valkyrie..."
"Before coming to the camp, I want to meet the king and His Royal Highness the Queen!"
The envoy came, and the commander from the opposite side came in person. At this time, Vanleklov faced a choice, or he would kill her in the barracks, so that the other party would have no leader, and the situation might be cleared.But if this happens, it will violate the glory and original intention he has been pursuing.Then the spiritual strength that he had practiced throughout his life would collapse in an instant.
"Let her in..."
Following Van Leklov's order, Litina drove slowly through Steeljord's army camp in a carriage. Everyone looked at the carriage and the figure of a beautiful woman looming inside, they His expressions were full of anger and hatred.
As the curtain of the big tent was lifted, Litina coughed and walked slowly into the camp. At this moment, black blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth, and her expression and posture were completely different from the first time she came.
"We are all in torment, Your Majesty."
Litina bowed to Van Leklov, and the king and queen returned the salute.
"It can be seen that you are seriously ill. It seems that from the mouths of the fleeing people, the words of invincibility and immortality are all beautified by them to the height of a god... ..."
Litina found a stool and sat down, sighed and shook her head.
"You said yes, that's it."
There were a few more violent coughs, and Van Leklov could tell that her time was running out.
"I noticed that none of your soldiers had cooked food for their dinners, and that all were drinking to quench their thirst."
Seeing Litina tell about the predicament he was facing, the king asked tentatively.
"Then what do you mean by coming here? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Li Tina smiled and took out a jug of water from her arms and handed it to the Queen.
"Clean."
Sophia, who heard this, took a sip by herself, and after confirming that there was no problem, she immediately sent it to her daughter.After seeing Sophia leave, Litina said slowly to Van Leklov.
"I'm here to persuade you to surrender."
The final battle
"You know the current situation, there is no chance of winning."
"Surrender, king, and I will bless your soldiers."
Litina was a little unsteady at this moment, so she simply sat on the chair and said with difficulty.
"I traveled a long distance here for the sake of national unity. We have paid too much in this war, and there is no need to spread the flames of war to every soldier and common people."
"Perhaps you think that if I die, your troops will have a chance of survival, but you are wrong. I am just an individual. Even if I am the commander, this fact cannot be changed. And I have already chosen a successor. Once I die, he will inherit my will and fight you to the end."
"But in the face of thirst, your soldiers can't last long."
Litina lowered her head. At this time, her eyes were sluggish, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. It seemed that time was running out, but her will still supported her to complete her final mission.
"A real soldier should die in the midst of fighting and fighting, not under guns and water cut off."
"Think of your lovers. Think of your wives. Think of those who love you."
When the word love was mentioned, Litina even stood up excitedly.
"Once they die, everything will disappear, and those who love those soldiers will never be able to wait for their husbands, understand!"
Litina, who had calmed down, let out a long sigh, and sat down slowly again.
"If you surrender, I will give everyone blessings and the greatest decency."
Van Leklov looked outside the tent. It was already dark at this time, and in the distance, a long procession of refugee torches could be vaguely seen. They were all walking on the road to surrender to Lytina.People need water, they are different from soldiers, they cannot live without water.Van Leklov looked meaningfully at the general who was already terminally ill at this time. He admired her strategy. When killing his younger brother, she turned the geographical advantage of Temeria Toklis into With her own geographical advantages, now she has turned her own people into her own people.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Van Leklov even felt that he heard the satisfaction and enjoyment of the people and soldiers when they drank the water.And the people's praise of Litina, it seems that they have long forgotten who the instigator of this situation is.
"I'll give you one night to think about it."
"If you do not surrender, my troops will attack when you are most thirsty and when the plague is raging."
"At that time, your fighters, and everyone else, will be executed..."
Before Litina left, her scarlet eyes radiated a cold aura in the dark night.
"Not a single one."
...........
Early the next morning, Litina came to the front of the two armies, she did not bring a soldier, he just came to hear an answer.Although the soldiers had the courage to fight Litina even if they drank the plague-infused water, the king was shaken after thinking about it all night.
Because Litina said that he only has one chance to surrender, once this chance is lost, her army will flatten this place, and no one will be alive by then.
"Someone has to carry out Stiljord's will...someone has to carry out...my brother's will."
The king put on his helmet and came to his soldiers on horseback. Looking at the soldiers who were already dehydrated due to thirst, the king sighed and said.
"A true warrior should die in a fair duel."
"But this is war."
"War is never fair."
Looking at Lytina in the distance, the king said to his soldiers.
"You can surrender. This does not violate the teachings of the ancestors. I cannot let the soldiers die under the plague, hunger and thirst."
"But I can't surrender. As a king, I want to tell them that the culture and will of Steeljord, and a heroic death is the best result."
Hearing the king's words, all the soldiers who were about to die were stunned. They had already put on their armor and sharpened their swords and spears. They wanted to join the king in the final battle of glory and die. On the way to charge!
"My king! We will never surrender!"
"We will fight with you to the last moment!!!"
Litina looked at the soldiers, those soldiers who looked at death as if they were at home, completely disregarding whether there were wives, children, and parents at home. What they thought was the so-called honorable death in battle. The military soul is still pedantic.
"Is the so-called glory more important than being alive?"
"Is it more important than family affection...?"
"Is it more important than love...?"
"You all have the opportunity to choose life, the opportunity to go home and reunite with your lover, but you want to abandon the one who loves you! Do you want to pursue the so-called glorious death!!!!!!"
Litina's expression was obviously angry at this time. For her, she could give everything for her lover, and if she could, she would stay by her lover's side forever.Looking at these obsessed soldiers, Litina's eyes were ferocious, and her anger brought her to the point of forbearance. The hungry beasts were about to feast on them!
"Send me the order..."
"Defensive formation, flat push attack."
"No captives, no mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After all, Litina withdrew to her own camp. The fortification composed of ships and heavy artillery was actually installed on a simple wooden wheel last night, and the soldiers pushed it to the battlefield. Slowly pan above!
Van Leklov was surprised by Litina's strategic vision. Although he already had the attitude of surrender, Litina still made two-handed preparations. After assembling wooden wheels for the fortifications, the heavy artillery can be moved. Realize the double insurance of offense and defense!If the range of the cannon can reach the camp of the army, I am afraid that as Litina said, all the troops will be trampled down by the iron hooves of war!
"Wait for my brother."
The king put on his helmet, mounted his horse, and said proudly to the soldiers!
"It is my pride to be able to fight with you."
"Even if we all die here, even if she destroys our culture! Our history! The world will know that the free men fought against the invasion!"
"For victory!!! Follow me!!!!!!"
