I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 412 The tragic battle
Khalid, the logistics commander of the Eastern Second Theater Zone, who weighed more than two hundred pounds, sat heavily on the solid wood chair.

crunch--

That seat made an overwhelming "scream".

Irritably, he threw the military coat behind him and kept mumbling and cursing.

"What a bunch of trash, they can't help at all."

"The Forward Legion is also a waste, and they have the nerve to accuse me."

"The general is the same...only knows how to curse..."

From top to bottom, everyone involved was scolded by Khalid.

"Why am I so unlucky? I just got promoted and this kind of unlucky thing happened to me."

"If we were still in the Central District, this little trouble would have been solved long ago. They are all a bunch of trash!"

Just complaining to the end, Khalid could only sigh deeply.

The situation was countless times worse than what everyone on the rear had expected.

After all, all news about the military situation in the royal capital is controlled by the higher-ups.

Everyone only knew that the Crimson Legion was defeated, but they did not know that this news had been reported almost a month ago.

No one thought that the orcs, who had always been famous for their brutality, would suddenly change their style and set up a trap.

First, the young master of the Porcupine tribe was sent to personally lead thousands of elite pig orcs to sneak into the human territory from the deep leaf canyon between the two sides in the dark and attack them all the way.

The young master of the Porcupine tribe is equivalent to the general's son. If this guy can be caught, it will be of great benefit to the next battle.

The Crimson Legion stationed nearby was fooled. This legion, which was a mixture of cavalry and infantry, was divided into two groups, and the cavalry pursued them first.

Everything went well in the early stage. Tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry destroyed thousands of the opponent's elite orcs, killing them all.

The young leader of the tribe was seriously injured and was escorted by his personal guards as he retreated towards the Porcupine Tribe.

The result was that they were greedy and eager to advance. After entering the Deep Leaf Canyon, they stepped into a trap.

It turned out that the orc shaman had cast spells long ago and created many swamps full of decaying leaves in the canyon.

The cavalry was stuck in the swamp and could not extricate themselves.

In the end, they were ambushed nearby by three tribes and tens of thousands of elite orcs who came out to attack from both sides.

The cavalry lost their flexibility and became extremely cumbersome. Tens of thousands of elite cavalry were killed in pieces.

The remaining ones managed to escape from death with the support of the infantry troops coming from behind.

Behind them is the deep valley city located at the entrance of the canyon after retreating all the way.

The battle was brutal, and the huge crimson army was torn into countless pieces after losing its ace unit.

Later, even Deep Valley City briefly fell into the hands of the orcs.

Every military fortress in the defense line is error-free. Once any one is missing, the defense line will be like a big hole.

This was a situation that the kingdom's senior officials absolutely did not want to see. Out of anger, they immediately arranged a counterattack.

An advancing legion was sent to regain the lost territory. In the end, the advancing legion, which originally numbered nearly 90,000 people, was reduced to less than 40,000, and the lost territory was regained.

Including the defensive strength of Deep Valley City, nearly 100,000 soldiers were killed or injured!
This is definitely the war that has suffered the most losses in the past ten years. Regardless of the kingdom, even the neighboring countries have set their sights here, so the general in charge of the second theater of the Eastern Region is like an angry lion at this time.

Khalid can be considered a disaster.

It has been more than twenty-eight days since the Crimson Legion was defeated.

A food officer was dispatched from the center, and a logistics route was briefly laid out to transport some supplies to Shengu City.

Then, starting eleven days ago, the logistics defense line was attacked and destroyed by the orcs who had fled into the rear area, and no grain of food could ever get in.

Shengu City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. On weekdays, less than 30,000 defenders are stationed in the city.

The supplies inside were originally enough to feed 30,000 people for a month.

But when the orcs were retreating, a fire burned all the supplies in the deep valley city.

In other words, the current huge Shengu City relied on the small amount of supplies delivered by the previous food officer to last for eleven days!
The soldiers sent from Deep Valley City to ask for help learned that the orcs had changed their strategy and only besieged rather than attacked. Tens of thousands of elite orcs were all hiding in Deep Leaf Canyon and building siege equipment.

The orcs directly fed on the dead human soldiers. The many corpses left behind were enough for them to eat for a long, long time.

As long as Deep Valley City shows signs of fatigue, the orcs will rush forward again.

Unlike the last time the other party hurriedly occupied it, this time they continued to replenish orc soldiers from other tribes.

If it is captured by the other party again, I am afraid that it will cost more than 100,000 lives to get it back.

You can't retreat, you can't advance!
The commander of the advancing corps defending the city is not a coward as those few logistics officers sitting in the office outside said.

He was also a ruthless man, and he directly asked his men to kill the orcs as cattle and sheep, using their flesh and blood as food.

It's just that the flesh of orcs is unpalatable and very difficult to digest, and even the stomachs of human soldiers can't bear it.

If there is no more food and supplies transported in, the people in this city may have to starve to death in the city.

The orcs seemed to have seen this opportunity, and the offensive pressure on other lines of defense also increased.

All legions were unable to stop and come to support.

Only then, with no other option, did they quickly recruit the Silver Knights from the rear, form a legion, and come to help.

The responsibility of the logistics corps is to find a way to deliver supplies to the deep valley city before the new corps is organized, even if they die.

Just when Khalid had a terrible headache, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boom, boom"

This made Khalid even more impatient. He was about to curse a few words, but unexpectedly, he heard a somewhat unfamiliar young voice.

"Silver Knight, Anatolia Chen Fan, come and report!"

Chen Fan loudly announced his title while knocking on the door.

In order not to let the angry officer inside think that he is some passerby and get scolded in vain.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Fan's report, Harry inside could only suppress his anger and remained silent for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice:
"come in."

Entering the office, Chen Fan walked towards the other party's desk without repeating his name or making the military salute when a subordinate meets his superior.

Although he didn't speak, he raised his chest. The medal on his chest was the best name brand.
