After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2693 Slaying the Logistics Line

The most terrifying thing is that they are not afraid of dying together with the enemy.

This fearless army made the Bega army hesitant and under great psychological pressure when facing them.

He Lingchuan also adjusted his strategy in time. He knew that Gao Huaiyuan's tactic was to win by sheer numbers, hoping to force an advance using the overall strength of the Beka. Since his own forces were definitely outnumbered by the Beka, He Lingchuan, in addition to the conventional resistance, also divided his forces into three additional armies, each led by himself and two other valiant generals, to conduct guerrilla warfare among the six Beka armies.

This is a battle of tactics, with both sides exchanging blows and fighting fiercely.

In fact, Bega also understood that no tricks would work in the face of absolute strength. The best way to flatten the southern part of Panlong Wasteland was to increase troops, increase troops, and increase troops again, and crush them with strength.

However, the number of Bega's army that arrived at Sandar Port reached 680,000 and then plateaued, finding it difficult to grow further. It wasn't that Bega didn't want to send more troops, but rather that there were major logistical problems:
The Maohe Plain, a major logistics granary and transit station, has recently been severely harassed by unidentified groups. Supply trains looted the area, and granaries and warehouses were burned. The most devastating losses occurred in four locations: Baidan Town, Maojiba, and Luanhe. More than 1.1 million shi of grain were destroyed in the fire, along with a large quantity of meat, elixirs, arrows, talismans, and kerosene.

Unable to ascertain the details of his opponents, Bega only knew that they must be either Panlong people or Maohe people, so he collected information while setting traps.

They didn't know that the visitor was General Hong.

The Maohe people originally had their hearts set on Panlong and hated the Bejia people who came here to burn, kill, and plunder. General Hong could easily obtain intelligence from them. In addition, she also controlled the lives of more than ten Bejia officials' sons, including Wang Lushi, which also became important sources of intelligence for her.

So General Red broke through several of Bekah's traps, killed many people, and then left triumphantly.

The battles at Baidan Town were fought because the Bega people deliberately concentrated a large amount of resources there as bait to lure the enemy in, and then sent strong men and heavy troops to guard the town. They even invited three gods to descend along the way.

In the end, he lost both his wife and his army.

All three divine avatars were killed, and two immortal demons were killed and seriously injured, respectively. The defending army fell for the enemy's diversionary tactic.

That's incredibly powerful, absolutely too powerful.

To outsiders, General Hong's tactics seemed unremarkable. He would strike at the weakest point, burn the military supplies, and then leave unscathed.

The problem is, no one on the scene can beat her.

The Bega people also set up several empty package traps, which were actually attempts to lure her into a trap by pretending to gather supplies in a certain place, but General Red just wouldn't fall for it.

She won't come unless there's a heavy bait.

Although these battles took place on the Maohe Plain, they directly alarmed Lingxu City.

Are there such powerful figures in the Panlong Army? Has Mount Ling sent another expert down the mountain to assist them?
Although the people of Lingshan are highly skilled in cultivation, they are not adept at military strategy and tactics.

General Red kept a low profile in the Maohe Plain, never revealing her signature weapons or martial arts skills, nor her true identity. The Bega people believed she was still stationed at Longhou Pass, and therefore did not yet associate the newly emerging enemies in the Maohe Plain with General Red.

After several failed attempts to capture the enemy, and with supplies at the front lines becoming increasingly strained, the number of transport convoys heading to White Sand Bay visibly decreased. The Bega people had no choice but to break up their forces into smaller, more scattered units. Even if their opponents were strong, they only had a few hunting squads. If the Bega divided their transport convoys into forty or fifty groups, how many could the enemy possibly intercept?
For Bega, adopting this compromise was truly humiliating. What enemy had Bega never faced that he couldn't defeat?

However, this is exactly what General Red was waiting for.

The enemy's decision to break up the transport brigade into smaller squads played right into their hands. The Maohe Plain has a long tradition of resistance. When General Hong conquered the Maohe Plain, the locals refused to submit, and it took Tiger Wing several years to win them over. Now that Bega is ruthless, the Maohe people's desire to resist is ten times stronger than before. General Hong took this opportunity to expand the harassment teams behind enemy lines, increasing the original three teams to twenty-two, all of which were composed of Maohe soldiers.

She only provided intelligence to the harassment team; the interception work was carried out by the harassment team. After Bega's transport team was split up, its protective power was also weakened, making it no longer an insurmountable target for ordinary harassment teams.

And let’s not forget that the logistics and transportation system of Bega in the Maohe Plain is full of Bega officials’ sons who are just trying to accumulate time and military merits. Their combat ability, adaptability, command skills, and even willpower are far inferior to those of ordinary officers. After being attacked, they could not withstand more than a few rounds and were trembling and almost wanted to run away.

So after Bega changed his strategy, he discovered that harassment squads on the Maohe Plain had sprung up like mushrooms after rain, their numbers inexplicably increasing. General Red hid among these harassment squads, making his operations even more covert.

The back-and-forth tactical maneuvers are too numerous to mention. Although the harassment teams behind enemy lines in the Maohe Plain would also fail and be captured, the identity of the Red General was not exposed until two months later.

Following General Huyi's grand strategy, General Hong's work on the Maohe Plain was thriving, with results even better than Panlong had predicted. Supplies to Baisha Bay were running low, and even fewer were reaching Shanda Port and being delivered to the southern front lines of the wasteland.

Delays, missed deadlines, and reduced quality and quantity became the logistical daily routine that the Bega army had to endure.

Gao Huaiyuan's soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with the logistics. They were fighting to the death on the front lines, but the bunch of idiots on the Maohe Plain couldn't even do something as simple as transporting grain properly!

They knew perfectly well what kind of people the logistics officers in the Maohe Plain were. Therefore, discontent within the army was deafening.

After hearing too many complaints, Gao Huaiyuan also sought help from Lingxu City, but the situation did not improve substantially.

The loss of over a million shi of grain in places like Baidan Town alone meant that the Beijia frontline army was without rations for nearly two months. The Beijia soldiers also experienced the same suffering as the Panlong army, who were hungry and weak.

Because of insufficient supplies to feed more people, Bega's plan to reinforce troops in the southern wasteland had to be suspended.

General Tiger Wing and General Red, one blocking the enemy at the front line and the other desperately slowing down the enemy from the rear, worked together seamlessly and finally slowed down the advance of the Bega army.

Note that even if the entire Panlong exerts all its strength, it can only slow down, not completely block, Bega's invasion.

No matter how powerful General Hong was, he couldn't stop all the military supplies being transported to Sandar Port.

The Bega army's elemental power was second only to the Panlong army, and its overall strength remained among the world's top levels. If General Hong hadn't destroyed their supply lines on the Maohe Plain, and instead allowed Bega to send troops arbitrarily to the southern wasteland, even with General Tiger Wing in command, the Panlong army would have collapsed long ago.
