"Lin Yuanshan, why do you think we have to fight this battle?"

Looking at the setting sun that was about to sink into the horizon, Latifah asked a soul-searching question.

They had now walked a long way from the capital, and there were no towns in sight. It seemed that they were going to set up camp in the wilderness.

"It's meaningless for me to answer this question. Your Majesty needs to think about it yourself."

As Lin Yuanshan spoke, he was already at the front of the troops. Next, he needed to arrange a location for camping.

Keep them in a sheltered place as much as possible, and provide them with meals and sufficient hot water.

They even had to set up temporary toilets to centrally deal with the various troubles encountered by the soldiers during the march.

He also had to prevent infectious diseases that might spread among the army. If the march took a little longer, he would also arrange to write and mail letters to the soldiers who missed home.

In short, when marching and fighting, nearly 90% of the time is spent on eating, peeing, and sleeping.

And if a country has a sound logistical system to support it, then these things would not require the actual commander-in-chief Lin Yuanshan to be busy with.

But the problem is back to the starting point. If they don't fight this war, the royal family of Latifah will not be able to re-establish political credibility in the country and suppress the power of local nobles.

Transform the kingdom into an empire with at least the characteristics of a modern nation-state.

Looking at Lin Yuanshan who was busy with work, Latifah deeply felt that she was redundant.

"Um, Lin Yuanshan, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You just need to stay by my side and show me that all this is your will."

Compared to Lin Yuanshan, the instructions issued by the young queen seemed to be more smooth in execution.

Perhaps it was because Latifah, wearing a mask, made the soldiers feel a kind of "religious worship".

Compared to the shrewd and capable Lin Yuanshan, a young queen who wears a mask and manages the army in an orderly manner would appear more sacred.

During the march, although Lin Yuanshan did not require the officers to sleep and eat with the soldiers, given the current simple conditions, the officers were unable to get different treatment even if they wanted to.

In order to ensure the safety of the young queen, Lin Yuanshan slept outside Latifah's tent.

The figure of He Jian lying on his side outside the tent made her feel safe enough, so even in the unfamiliar wilderness,

Latifa still fell asleep.

The next morning, according to the previously formulated marching plan, they set out early again.

Latifah asked Lin Yuanshan with sleepy eyes:

“Are our opponents also working so hard?”

"Of course not. They often choose wealthy towns, plunder and enjoy themselves before continuing on their way."

In feudal times, the mob often used this method to maintain morale and organization.

However, poor military discipline will in turn affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

It’s just that this was the case with most armies in the feudal period, so the generals only had to defeat their opponents in the competition.

Only after hearing Lin Yuanshan's narration did Latifah think about the meaning of war for the first time.

For the first time, she felt that perhaps they should win this battle.

The next period of time was a boring march.

It was not until three days later that they finally saw human habitation.

That is the real "human population".

To put it simply, the town ahead was being attacked by an unknown force, with thick black smoke billowing out, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams and roars.

According to common sense, they should not have encountered the enemy in this area, but the enemy seemed to have no control over their own troops.

So that small groups of troops were scattered to such places.

Compared to the originally planned battlefield, this is an open river valley area.

Lin Yuanshan did not require any concealment measures during the march, so the enemy in the town should have discovered them.

But when they were fully prepared for battle, there was no sign of the enemy pouring out of the town.

If I had to describe it, the enemy troops that were looting the town were like a drunk dead pig, turning a blind eye to the danger that was approaching.

Therefore, the formal battle did not start at all. Lin Yuanshan just took a small group of soldiers and caught the looting troops in the town like catching rabbits.

But after searching the entire town, they couldn't find their commander.

The number of this group of people was about two thousand, and their commander had abandoned his troops and fled when Lin Yuanshan led his troops approached.

Then, something even more outrageous happened.

More than an hour later, at dusk, a cavalry unit of about a thousand people began to assemble in front of the town in front of them, looking completely arrogant.

Lin Yuanshan was a little confused. Was this a threat or a suicide attempt?

Judging from the pattern on the flag, it seems to be the troops of the Roland Kingdom.

Then came a message from the enemy using magic amplification:

"My dear hero, you have a very big appetite. Now that Roland's master is on my side, I'd like you to release my people. We should keep to ourselves!"

My goodness, they are treating them as “their own people” who are here to take advantage of them.

All I can say is that in terms of being worse, the rebels on the opposite side are better.

"Artillery battery ready, guided missiles ready!"

White phosphorus shells were fired into the gathering cavalry as markings.

Lin Yuanshan knew that what was about to happen could hardly be called a war.

After all, with the help of magic, the student artillery of Arcane University can make the annealing cannon fire with the effect of guided missiles.

Chapter 162 As expected, an accident happened

The cavalry on the other side probably had never tasted the artillery fire from the sky in the wild;

Moreover, as a cavalryman, it is too strange to be hit by artillery!

The cavalry commander from Roland went to heaven peacefully to meet his ancestors with such thoughts.

Only broken limbs were left on the ground.

To be honest, even the King of Hell had to praise the courage of these Roland cavalrymen for daring to slowly assemble in front of the fully established artillery positions.

The results of the artillery fire were so devastating that when Latifah followed Lin Yuanshan to clean up the battlefield, she was vomiting the entire time.

Not to mention her, most of the recruits were vomiting.

The cold weapon battlefield is very cruel, but the actual casualties are just like that.

How can it compare to the killing efficiency of thermal weapons?

Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to carry out organized killing of the opponents on horseback in open terrain. Even if the opponents were defeated,

After escaping, they can be quickly recaptured.

But nothing is absolute, just like Lin Yuanshan did not expect to encounter the enemy in such a place.

He agreed that he had not expected that Roland's cavalry would stand there stupidly in the face of artillery fire.

However, the main reason was that the artillery strikes were too accurate and fast, so that the enemy lost more than one-third of its troops in the first place.

With the commander dead, the second round of artillery fire destroyed all attempts at counterattack.

The third round of artillery fire was already an oversaturation attack, as there were few living people on the battlefield.

Even those who survived were mostly frightened into PTSD.

Only a few lucky ones escaped, and Lin Yuanshan had no intention of spreading out his small number of cavalry to expand the results of the battle.

"Lin Yuanshan, if we do this, will we really not go to hell?"

"Your Majesty, please stop making trouble. Look at the town ahead. For those who have committed beastly acts, no matter how cruel the means we use, it will not be excessive. After all, war is not a dinner party."

After vomiting, Latifah thought about it and felt that what Lin Yuanshan said made some sense.

After all these years of hardships and Lin Yuanshan's constant subconscious influence,

Her mind has gradually changed.

In her mind, wars are divided into "just wars" and "unjust wars".

And this battle in front of the town was a "righteous war" to save the people.

However, Lin Yuanshan did not lead his troops into the looted town again, but instead bypassed it from a distance.

The townspeople at this time would not welcome the royal army with food and drink like in the movies. Instead, they would be wary of them.

Besides, the town had no way to get supplies at this time.

But a few days later, the strange legend of "divine soldiers descending from the sky" still appeared in this area.

Legend has it that there is an "army led by a saint" that is sweeping away the evil bandits nearby.

In response to this, Lin Yuanshan was speechless.

The people of the Red Maple Kingdom would rather believe that it was a saint sent from heaven than believe that the queen would lead the army to "save the people from their plight."

Unfortunately, there was no one in his army who was capable of doing basic political work, otherwise he would have to send out a wave of leaflets at this time.

Gather a lot of people's hearts.

Of course, the good thing about the rumor is that during their march, there really was a scene of "providing food and drink to welcome the heavenly soldiers", although it was paid.

Latifah's features are too obvious. She is the blonde saint wearing a silver mask. You will always find her by following this sign.

The good thing about this kind of thing is that there are various fellow villagers who can lead the way in Lin Yuanshan's troops.

Directly open the "full map view" for the troops,

In this era, there were no regular military maps and no satellites. The commander's ability was the only way to avoid getting lost.

Once you have a fellow villager leading the team, getting lost will basically never happen again.

Even the investigation work has become much easier.

Not only Lin Yuanshan, but even Latifah had the feeling of "playing at home" for the first time.

“Is this what the people want?”

"No, it's superstition."

Lin Yuanshan said with certainty.

Relying on the full map vision, Lin Yuanshan continued to eat up small groups of troops around the rebels, while he himself was in an "invisible state" in the enemy's vision.

The slow-witted enemy army didn't even know they had an opponent and was still immersed in the dream of "breaking into the royal capital."

However, due to supply reasons, Lin Yuanshan's subsequent inventory was only enough to barely support a battle of medium intensity.

It is impossible to achieve success in one battle, but it is not a problem to launch a surprise attack and directly destroy a large number of enemy organizations.

"Huh? Why can't we defeat them all in one go?"

Latifah was immersed in her continuous victories and felt that the so-called "rebels" were not much more difficult to deal with than ducks.

This is indeed the case.

If they were just rebels, Lin Yuanshan would have attacked them long ago.

However, there are also armed intervention forces from neighboring countries among the rebels.

The Roland Empire was a country that was gradually moving towards a centralized government, and the possible existence of magicians accompanying the army alone was enough to cause them trouble.

So he never gave up the idea of ​​having sex and running away.

As for Roland's forces, we just need to make them give up when they realize the difficulty.

As long as the surrounding rebels are wiped out, can they really stay on the enemy's border?

They are not Mongol cavalry.

Therefore, Lin Yuanshan's tactic was to use artillery to cover the rebel camp at night.

Then run away after the fight.
