Chapter 111

On the one hand, Amun did this because he had just taken control of the army and needed to win over people and stabilize their morale. On the other hand, he did not lack money.

In addition to the head of the army, the supreme commander of the regiment also has the chief deity, who has 50 diviners under his command, and their treatment is very generous. Amun himself was incorruptible, but did not ask the LORD God George to follow him. The supplies and rates that belonged to the magistrates were allocated to George for his own disposal.

As a result, George also handed out the materials and equipment in full, leaving only 10% of the army's salary, completely referring to Amun's practice. As the high priest of the temple of Isis, George had plenty of opportunities and no need to work on it.

The equipment and pay were enough, but Amun was not lax in training. He planned to run the army strictly, but he met a former commander who was more demanding than him. John was famous for his fierce temper when he was in he Lieshan. Now when he comes to the army, he wants to take his soldiers to fight. With enough equipment and money, how can we tolerate the soldiers' laziness?

If anyone doesn't do his best in the drill, the former commander of the front line will go over the lower level officers and directly drag people out for a beating. On the contrary, Amun played a lenient role, often persuading John not to be too strict, but to deal with it according to military discipline, without any additional punishment.

Amon also told John not to be too anxious and not to increase the burden of soldiers without authorization. For example, if the archers are required to shoot 15 arrows in a row in a round of battle, they will shoot 15 arrows in the usual practice. There is no need to force them to shoot 20 arrows. In the end, they will not even have the accuracy and strength. After all, they are still on the March and need to be well-equipped.

John had gradually been able to control the uncontrollable agitation after Amun's instruction in Mt. heleshan, but the power of agitation did not disappear. By the time we met again, the sixth level warrior had become more powerful than before. He was still provoked and impulsive at times, but he found a way to turn this agitation into a burst of power, to suddenly enter a more powerful, more flexible, and more sensitive state.

This seems to be a strange, explosive awakening of power, which is a very interesting discovery for Amun.

Amon had tried this kind of power explosion of John. When he entered this state, even madanzo did not dare to fight head-on. If Amun doesn't use magic and only uses martial arts, he can only suppress him. John is stronger than usual in this state, but when it is over, he will also become weaker than usual and need to rest for a while to recover.

According to Amun's analysis, if John overuses this explosive force, it may cause unpredictable physical and mental harm, and reminds him to pay more attention.

In addition to strict requirements and proper command, military training needs two conditions to achieve the best effect. The first is to keep up with the diet and nutrition, which Amun ordered the quartermaster to absolutely guarantee that the Greek fleet provided sufficient dairy and meat products. Another condition is the cooperation of the gods.

The magic masters will not directly attack and kill in the front line of hand to hand combat. Their functions are mainly reflected in two aspects. One is to use various magic arts to assist the soldiers to fight. The other is to improve the morale of the army. Divinity can not only be offensive, but also auxiliary. For example, although healing magic can't immediately cure the wounds suffered by soldiers, it can make them forget the pain for a while, while praying magic can make soldiers braver and no longer fear. Some excellent mental skills can even give soldiers a belief that they must win and encourage them to sacrifice their lives and forget their death to fight.

This is very important in large army operations. Often the failure of a battle is not due to the number of dead and wounded soldiers, but the collapse of the front line caused by low morale. Because once the soldiers lose confidence and have no courage to fight again, despair will infect each other and the commanders can't control it.

These Shenshu masters are used to maintaining their dignity and treating the superior. Marching is already a hardship for them. They will not use this force until they are in real combat. However, Amun asked the military officers to play a third role outside the battlefield, that is, to form an array to display the healing and praying magic arts during the training, so that the soldiers can recover from fatigue, and improve their morale at all times, and maintain a confident and passionate fighting state.

Amun can't direct the magistrates. It needs to be ordered by Lord George. George, the LORD God, cooperated very well. According to Amun's request, he issued an order to divide his divine arts into four teams with 12 members in each team to form a magic array. He helped Amun train every day in turn.

It's hard for those magicians. Their magic power is very precious. How can they be consumed at will? This method is occasionally used by very noble adults when training their own soldiers, but it is rarely heard of in the whole regiment. After a few days, the magicians went to Lord George to complain that they were not really fighting. How could they be allowed to consume mana freely for civilian warriors?

George didn't say anything at first. Then he saw too many gods complaining and made a decision that made people gape. The great magician personally came to the training ground with his staff and led four different teams of divine arts to cooperate with the training for four consecutive days. Even Lord George did it himself, and the other magistrates did not dare to complain publicly.At this time, George publicly said, "our regiment was short of training before. If we encounter a real war, we may not be able to stand firm. In the war, once the warriors on the front line break up, you, as gods, will have no good end. Training soldiers and soldiers is also protecting yourself. Before this battle, you start to complain. If you really go to the battlefield, what do you want? "

Lord George's words are so beautiful that his subordinates dare not refute them. However, Amun's practice is really out of line with the rules. I have not heard that any commander will make the magicians spend their magic power unnecessarily, and they do so every day during the March. Amon, a student taught by Nietzsche, never had the concepts taught in the temple about the use of magic power. In those days, he would even launch magic arts to protect himself from the rain and shade. He was used to it for a long time. He didn't think it was a big deal for the gods to do this.

The magistrates didn't know that their boss, Lord George, was also a magician in his early years, and was a friend of the old madman Nietzsche. He knew more or less about Amun. This time, he cooperated with Amun.

But Amun was not a waste of effort. He gave George a precious staff. Although George, as the high priest of Isis temple, did not lack a good staff, it was also a wonderful thing to stay in his hands or reward his students and subordinates. Amun got three sticks in the mysterious cave. One was Nero's relic. The other was given to link. The remaining one was given to George today.

In addition, Amun gave each of the deities a large amount of stone, which was a huge amount of astonishing.

Although the magistrates did not dare to complain again, they could be lazy and skilful. As a result, Amun did not give face, and regardless of the dignity of these people, he asked John to drag out two gods who did not work hard in the training ground and beat them to death in public. Since then, everything is on the right track.

Of course, the diviners are all of noble origin. They may come from a big family with high status, or they may be relatives of some imperial minister. But now in the army, they have to bow their heads temporarily. Even if anyone has complaints against the commander in chief, they can only wait until the war is over.

Amun thus marched along the coastline, training as he marched. Two months later, when the regiment entered the territory of the promontory city-state and was close to the border, he finally ordered the troops to stop the rehearsal when they were stationed, and all the officers and soldiers needed only a good rest. According to the battle plan, Amun could not advance alone or lag behind. He needed to follow along the northern coastline according to the speed of the main army.

There are scouts and riders between the an'an-la army and the main army to convey information. If it comes to a critical juncture, there will also be diviners who can directly communicate with aircraft and objects.

At last the army left the border and turned north, facing the desolate Syrian desert. The zigzag coastline divides the blue sea and the light yellow sand, and the waves and sand dunes spread out in an endless range. The sky is as blue as wash, floating with clusters of white clouds, like the gods in the sky grazing their sheep.

The scenery is so beautiful, but Siye is so desolate. In this tranquility, a great war is about to come in the distant desert. After leaving the border, Amun marched more cautiously, sending diviners to take turns to detect divinity, and pay attention to the surrounding activities. The transport supply fleet also followed far behind, no longer too close.

At this time, however, the detective returned an unexpected situation. The Horus army, led by the Pharaoh himself, did not advance steadily according to the original battle plan, but suddenly sped to the center of the Syrian desert. The Saite army, which had been stationed at the border, had to change its plan to cover the civilians, food and supplies into the desert and follow the Pharaoh.

According to the original plan, the Isis Legion should go hand in hand with the Horus army, which was dozens of miles behind, but the Pharaon was not waiting at the border. The Horus army suddenly accelerated and threw the Isis army away. For fear of loss, Isis army left the large-scale supplies in the promontory city-state, and marched light and fast into the Syrian desert.

This is not in line with the original plan formulated by the eju military headquarters. The whole strategic situation has changed from steady progress to sudden attack.

Although the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and requires the commander to make various temporary decisions, such a big change has not been made before the battle starts. The general regimental commander has neither the courage nor the authority. After all, it is meritorious to march according to the plan. Even if the war is unfavorable, it is the responsibility of the overall commander. However, if the main force makes a sudden attack without authorization, all the cooperating teams should make corresponding adjustments. Only the commander of Horus would dare to do so, because he was the supreme Pharaoh.

The Horus army launched a surprise attack, but it did not give an order to the Anla army, which made Amun confused. He did not know whether he should advance according to the original plan or follow the Pharaoh to speed up the March? It was a few days before he received a message from the Scout sent by rod Dick, commander of the Saite regiment, asking the an'la army to speed up its march to cover the flanks of the main battlefield.

Without mentioning Amun's doubts, rod Dick, who led the Seth army and was in charge of the army's supplies, was also suffering. He once advised his Majesty the Pharaon not to change his plan and advance rashly, but lashis II did not listen.

In rod Dick's view, eju's national strength is obviously stronger than Hattie's, and the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Legion also occupy a great advantage. It is the most secure choice to advance the battle in an orderly manner. What's more, this time is a personal expedition by his Majesty the Pharaon, so he can't afford to take any risks. The only obstacle to the conquest of hathi is the huge consumption of logistic supplies across the Syrian desert, which needs to be paid a lot.But something unexpected interfered with the original battle plan and changed the king's decision.

According to the spy's report before the war, Lucille, king of the kingdom of hathi, also led his most elite army of enril on his own expedition. Lucille did not intend to go to the battlefield in person, but the royal nobles, the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the elders of the theological academy all wrote to ask the king to lead the army in person, even if it was only as a symbol.

The great army of the Egyptians came fiercely, and the hathian kingdom had been planning for this war for many years, and it was the moment when the greatest power was needed in silence. If King Lucius II of the other side went to the front line, it would give the public an impression of timidity and lack of self-confidence if King Lucille was still in the capital. The king led the most elite army in the Kingdom, and it was the best way to boost the morale.

The significance of this war to the hathi Kingdom and the eju empire is different. If the eju empire lost, it would be nothing more than the loss of a subordinate country. However, if the kingdom of hathi lost, it would be a turning point of the whole country. At least, it would lose a large area of territory, pay heavy compensation and tribute, completely submit to the rule of the Egyptians, and could not recover its vitality for a long time.

Though he did not want to, the king did not want to. Over the years, the seemingly peaceful and peaceful city-state of Syria has suddenly assembled a well-trained and well-equipped elite army, which was originally stationed in the western border. As a great magician, Ge lie actually served as the head of the army. The main god of the Legion was his disciple Walter, the former commander of the array was the great warrior Mun, and the logistics chief Quartermaster was governor Xiao mo.

Another army of nannar, originally stationed on the southern coast, also advanced along the coastline towards the Syrian desert. Hathi kingdom is well prepared for the war and March fast. The three legions have gathered in the northern desert area to the south of the black fire jungle and to the west of the inland lake.

The above is the final message sent back by the spies sent to the kingdom of hathi. It is difficult to travel through hundreds of miles of desert without being discovered by the enemy. The latest and timely developments of the opponent are still unknown through our own channels.

The scouts sent by Horus army went deep into the desert and caught several groups of people in different places. Some were passing caravans, some were fishermen by the sea, and some claimed to be robbers. Naturally, they were very suspicious when they appeared in such places at this time, so they were treated as spies of the enemy. Under severe torture, they all confessed that they were spies of the kingdom of hathi.

All the spies' confessions mentioned the same information. King Lucille led the army of enril to carry out his own expedition. He had already advanced to the grassland bordering the desert on the South Bank of the inland lake and was establishing a permanent camp. The Anu army led by Gore was stationed in the southern part of the city state of Syria. It was 200 li away from the king's army of enril, while mobilizing war supplies and building fortifications. Another nannar army was stationed near the coast, 200 miles away from the Anu army.

The three legions are distributed in an inverted triangle and echo with each other, waiting for the eju army to enter the ambush circle.

According to the original battle plan of the army headquarters of the eju Empire, the main route of the Pharaonic army was to directly attack the pass in the south of the city of Syria, which would be blocked by the Anu army led by gore. However, the other two regiments of Hati may suddenly attack from the left and right sides. Even if they cut off the supply line of eju army, they can also hold down the main force of eju army. In this way, eju army will fight a costly war of attrition at the other end of the desert far from the land.

If only one person said so, it may be deceitful, but the spies caught in different places and the interrogation confessions revealed similar information after analysis. It seems that the possibility is very high. At the beginning, his Majesty was very angry, and even suspected that there were traitors in the military high-level of eju who provided top secret battle plans to hathi, so that the other side made targeted arrangements.

Breze, the former commander and general of Horus army, and the chief deity and high priest of the imperial capital, all urged the Pharaoh to calm down. According to the normal strategic situation, as long as people who understand the military make a little analysis, they can judge the main attack route of the Egyptians. There is nothing strange about the combat plan formulated by the military affairs commission of eju, that is, it is regular and stable.

The kingdom of hathi has been preparing for the war for a long time, so it is completely normal to make such a response plan. They want to rely on the border line to carry out defense operations and occupy favorable conditions for logistic supplies and troop replenishment.

The army of eju only needs to attack the southern pass of the city state of Syria according to the original plan, and the main force has a decisive battle with the Anu army led by gore. At the same time, let a part of Isis army and most of the set army cut off the connection between the Anu Army and the enril Army Corps, and block the return of the enril army group.

As for the nannar army stationed on the coastline, Amun led an'an-la army could march northward to confront each other. Amun was not expected to win. As long as the nannar army was kept close to the coastline and could not attack the eju army with the main force, it would be a success.

If the campaign is carried out in this way, it will be a tough competition. Without any opportunism, it depends on the combat effectiveness, equipment and training, battlefield command and logistics supply of both sides. However, the Pharaon rejected the plan and decided to launch a surprise attack on enril's army on the South Bank of the inland lake. This decision of lacius II can not be said to be unreasonable.**(to be continued, please visit www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading! )
