Chapter 665: The critical point of combat fatigue, the iron will is significantly improved

Kashin was indeed fully prepared. If Tok had led his troops to arrive sooner, he would not hesitate to destroy the wooden planks of the bridge.

In this way, the enemy could not cross the wide canyon and could only wander along the shore. This would not only extend their marching route by at least 300 miles, but more importantly, it was the key to Tan Aili's efforts to change the situation.

Because the other side is seriously short of food and fodder, and the mounts have extremely huge supply needs, once they fall into this predicament, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hunger will greatly reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness, making them vulnerable and may even be easily annihilated.

Kashin quickly entered a deep state of meditation, allowing his body to fully rest and recover.

Perhaps because his previous fatigue had exceeded a certain critical point, his recovery speed this time was unusually fast. Not only that, he was also pleasantly surprised to find that his [Iron Will] had actually been significantly improved.

Kashin was very excited during meditation. He realized that when a person reaches the rank of a senior knight, it is not just about improving his military strength. The invisible and intangible willpower must be constantly and thoroughly honed to be truly improved.

This time, the Principality of Maya is almost fighting alone, and their courage, patience, and will are all being tested. The continuous battles have overdrawn all aspects, but it is actually a valuable experience.

Kashen regarded this battle as a great opportunity. The skin breathing method made Kashen relax. His fatigue was dispelling, his spirit was slowly recovering, and he felt relaxed all over.

At this time, Tan Aili led his troops to chase after the heavy cavalry. They all had a pair of iron feet, and they competed with the enemy who had taken off their heavy armor and were lightly equipped. The distance between the two sides was about ten miles away.

After all, the enemy has only one man and two horses, plus the logistics troops, so overall they are not much faster. This slight difference is not a problem, so just follow them.

Estimating the consumption of food and grass, the enemy will take at most one or two days. They must find a military supply station, otherwise they can't go far.

So the entire army maintained a forced march speed and galloped across the plains. Tan Aili tried hard to keep up with the mountain division and did not rest for two hours.

The large group often had to stop to rest and recover their strength, using unified breathing techniques to restore their energy and then continue chasing. They didn't have to worry about those who fell behind, as this was going to be a long-distance raid.

As night fell, the moonlight was like silver, illuminating the path of Tan Aili's army. After a whole day of chasing, they finally arrived at the local town. Judging from the traces left behind, the enemy army had obviously carried out some material supplies here.

Tan Aili stood in front of the town, her eyes burning. After listening to her subordinates' reports, she made a decisive decision: "Okay, we are not qualified to rest yet. Take down this town immediately and completely annihilate its military forces. Tonight, we will rest in the town."

A general looked doubtful and said worriedly: "General, could the enemy be in the town?"

Tan Aili raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Unlikely. The enemy has about 100,000 people, and there is no need for them to camp in a small town like this. Maybe they just got supplies and left the city overnight to continue moving forward, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to this town..."

Another general nodded in agreement and said, "What the commander said is very true. Our time is very precious. There is really no need to waste time attacking this town. Besides, the soldiers are already exhausted."

Tan Aili gave a decisive order: "Pass my order, massacre the city! Let the soldiers have a hot meal tonight, take a hot bath, and then have a comfortable sleep. Continue the pursuit tomorrow! Sharpshooters, march quickly to block their way immediately, we can have a good rest tonight..."

With more than 100,000 mountain divisions, attacking a small town was no problem. Within three hours, there was no living thing in the town. The entire army collected cattle, sheep and flour and began to prepare delicious food.

To be honest, the mountain division's ability to travel is beyond reproach. With a pair of iron feet, they can march for more than ten hours without any problem. If they get enough rest, their fighting capacity is very strong.

Tan Aili waited until the army started slaughtering pigs and sheep before entering the town. She was used to seeing the blood in the air and ignored it. At her command, about 50,000 people died.

This is the cruel reality. A messenger approached Tan Aili and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, we unexpectedly found three thousand heavy cavalry here. Now they have been completely wiped out in the northwest of the town. They are collecting dry food, dried grass, liquor and other supplies here, so stay on standby. The main force set out four hours ago and headed for Fort Morin to station..."

Tan Aili was very familiar with the map and nodded: "Go! I understand. The brothers have had a hard time marching today. Just treat it as an extreme exercise. The original plan remains unchanged. Have a good sleep."

General von Carthy said solemnly, "Marshal! The residential areas here are too dense. It will be extremely difficult to wipe out the coalition forces by making a fuss about the food and grass! I'm afraid we can only fight hard, and there is no way to take shortcuts."

The Marshal frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Feng! What you said makes sense. However, our 100,000 troops need two places to feed, and food shortages are commonplace.

Look, we only have one solution now, that is to massacre the city! The enemy's 3,000 soldiers were annihilated by us while they were collecting food and grass. This undoubtedly adds some pressure to them. Tomorrow, we will continue to attack Morin Fortress..."

At the same time, Tan Aili had moved into the only church in the town. Everyone in the church had been brutally executed, and the soldiers had found a large amount of food and property inside.

Tan Aili ordered Feng Kaxi to distribute these properties to the soldiers as their hard-earned money. If they followed the Marshal to fight, they would never be poor again.

However, due to time constraints, there was no time to process the grain into dry food and take it away.

Tan Aili estimated that there should be no problem keeping the food here, so she asked the soldiers to store all the food collected in the town in the church, leaving it for subsequent brother troops to use.

In this way, the army can be guaranteed to have enough food to continue fighting. After all, transporting food from the country is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also costs a lot of money.

Therefore, Tan Aili killed almost everyone in the city as she went along. Through this extreme measure, she fundamentally solved the problem of rebellion that might occur in the future.

The Mountain Division accepted the leadership of the Marshal, and their three views were shattered. They had never done the way of massacring a city before. They adhered to the spirit of chivalry and now supported the Marshal's decision.

After the battle, you can retire and earn more than you can earn in several lifetimes. Those who survived the battle of Luoxiapo were all real elites, and the rewards for military merit alone were very generous.
