Chapter 716: Combat Preparations Completed

October 10, 292, the imperial calendar of the Britannian Empire.

Britannian Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Command Room.

These days, snowflake-like intelligence has been transmitted from spies lurking in the Holy Hillan Empire.

Su Cheng frowned slightly at the large amount of information piled up in front of him.

Willie, who stood beside Su Cheng, whispered to Su Cheng:

"The regiment commander, although there is a lot of information showing that General Dong's early arrival has caused a major problem with the logistics supply of the Xilan army. But this is very likely to be a false information deliberately spread by the Holy Xilan Empire to confuse us."

"Yeah." Su Cheng replied in a deep voice, "I know."

The information sent back by these spies is not all completely reliable.

Different spies have different information sent back.

For example, now: some spies say that there is a big problem with the supply of the Sheeran army, but some spies say that the supply of the Sheeran army has not been greatly affected.

Some information may even be deliberately distributed by the Holy Hillan Empire, with the purpose of confusing Su Cheng and others.

Blocking intelligence and fighting intelligence wars - this is the specialty of the Britannian Empire.

On the eve of the "Spring Awakening" offensive two years ago, the Britannian Empire deliberately spread the "Spring Awakening" offensive with its beautiful "deception of the enemy" as a false information against the Frank Empire. The results deceived the Rolling Empire and made the Rolling Empire neglect the precautions.

Facing this massive amount of information that I don’t know which one is true and which one is false, it depends on the ability of the commander of the army.

Staring at the pile of information in front of him that had been looking at thousands of times, Su Cheng pondered for a long time:

"... Regardless of whether the supply of the Sheeran army collapsed, General Dong's early attack will definitely affect their supply transportation."

"This is for sure, the only problem is the level of severity."

"The larger the army, the more difficult it is to replenish its baggage."

"The combat troops of the Helan Army outside the Great Wall all have nearly 300,000, so the total number of its logistics troops will not be less than 500,000."

"The expeditionary force with a total scale of nearly one million - a large army of this size, its supply and transportation will affect the whole body."

"If something goes wrong in a certain link, then the entire supply line will have problems."

"This year's General Winter attacked more than a month earlier - this abnormal phenomenon has not happened for a long time, and even I did not expect this situation.

"I didn't even expect it, so I don't believe anyone on the opposite side could predict it."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused.

After a moment of silence, he continued:

"Actually... this abnormal weather this year has already had signs of predicament before, but we didn't care."

“Since several years ago, winter has been getting colder.”

"Because winter gets colder, the war horses on the two horse farms in the northern border are not growing well."

"In order to solve the problem of supplying war horses, I was forced to go to Kelor's veteran at the beginning of last year and invited the blacksmith who knew how to make horseshoes."

"The winter of last year was so cold that Kylor, Alisha and the others were unwilling to go out, so I returned to the imperial capital alone to attend the year-end dinner."

After General Winter attacked this year in advance, Su Cheng finally realized that this abnormal weather did not suddenly appear, but began to show signs a few years ago.

When he became the new leader of the Michael Knights Order and first arrived in the North, Yarlin, the right-hand man of Humphrey, of the General Administration of Northland, told him: The winters in recent years have become colder and colder, which has caused the growth of war horses on the two horse farms in the North to be poor, and the output of war horses has dropped significantly.

Originally, the daily training of cavalry would consume a lot of war horses. If there was another problem with the output of war horses, then the cavalry of his Michael Knights might have to ride donkeys to train in the future.

Su Cheng was powerless to do anything about horse farms with problems with output. The only way to do was to minimize the daily loss of war horses as much as possible.

In order to reduce the daily loss of war horses, Su Cheng was forced to go to Kelor's hometown at the beginning of last year to hire the blacksmith who knew how to make horseshoes.

Thanks to the help of the blacksmith, the Knights of Michael have now popularized horseshoes, and the problem of insufficient war horses has finally been solved.

This increasingly colder weather peaked last winter.

Last winter was so cold that Kelol, Alisha, Alan and the others were reluctant to go out, so Su Cheng returned to Pandragong alone in the cold weather to attend the year-end dinner.

General Dong arrived early - this abnormal weather this year was predicted from a few years ago, but no one, including Su Cheng, noticed it.

Fortunately, the Avalon Fortress had sufficient supplies and the supply transportation in the rear was quite powerful, even if General Dong attacked early, he did not suffer much damage.

General Dong arrived early, and the logistics transportation of the Expeditionary Army of the Sacred Sheeran Empire, which had a scale of nearly one million, was not affected at all?

Su Cheng absolutely does not believe in this matter!

The logistics supply of the Sheeran Army was definitely affected, but I don’t know if the impact is big.

For Su Cheng, the situation he most hoped to see was naturally that the logistics supply of the Sheeran army completely collapsed and the Winter War equipment was unable to be sent to the front line in time, which caused the nearly 300,000 Sheeran army in the Eighar Corridor to tremble in the cold and could not even get weapons.

Su Cheng heard from Humphrey a few days ago that the materials for the "Northern Slalom" combat will be completed soon!

When the materials are ready, the day the battle is launched.

At this critical moment when the "Northern Kingdom Slide" battle is about to be launched, if the supply of the Sheeran army collapses, it can be said that it is God bless Britannia! The success rate of the battle can be increased by at least 10%.

Of course - Su Cheng only dares to think about such a great thing.

Hopefully, the enemy makes mistakes - this is absolutely undesirable, whether on the battlefield or anywhere.

You must prevent yourself from making mistakes, and then slowly wait for the enemy to make mistakes.

Regardless of whether the logistics supply of Xilan's army really collapsed, Su Cheng would not let him and his subordinates take it lightly.

When Su Cheng and Willie finished today's discussion and were about to leave the command room, a messenger suddenly knocked on the door and informed Su Cheng: Yarlin from the North General Administration is here!

The second-in-command of the Northbound Administration came to the fortress in person, and he would never have come to Su Cheng for tea.

Su Cheng hurriedly ordered to take Yaerlin to the command room to see if Yaerlin had anything to tell him.

Yaerlin, who had a happy look on his face, could not hide it no matter how he entered the command room and confirmed that there were no outsiders around him, said to Su Cheng and Willie in a happy tone:

"The transport ships, grain, forage and other materials required for the 'Northern Slalom' operation have all been in place! The battle can be launched at any time!"

Even Su Cheng, who has always been calm in dealing with things, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows due to surprise after hearing this news.

Because as expected, the various materials needed for the "Northern Slalom" operation should not be in place until late October, but I didn't expect that it would be so much ahead of schedule.

Su Cheng stood up and looked at the big map hanging on the wall of the command room.

“It’s time…”
Chapter completed!
