Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 216

“A bunch of trash!”

Randall Lyman’s roar resounded like a furious lion in the headquarters, and the commanders who had escaped fortunately lowered their heads and listened to the rebuke of their superiors silently, daring not to show any dissatisfaction. Emotions, and they have no confidence to be dissatisfied, because they are indeed doing things poorly, especially the two division commanders of the 10th and 11th divisions, their foreheads have been wet with cold sweat, for fear of hearing the order from Leiman to arrest them. .

Abandoning their subordinates and evacuating the battlefield first, if their behavior is stabbed, they will only have to be arrested and sent to a military court for trial.

“Are you worthy of the parliament and the citizens? More than 10,000 soldiers trusted you and were brought to the battlefield by you, but less than 6,000 people came back! Two infantry divisions! Only less than 6,000 people came back, You are so kind!”

“We don’t want to, but the enemy is too powerful…”

Only dare to say this sentence in the hearts of the two teachers. If they dare to say it directly, they are afraid that the angry Leiman will pick up the whip in the next second.

After reprimanding the commanders of the two infantry divisions, Lehmann turned his anger on the only cavalry commander who had escaped. There were nearly 5,000 people in the two cavalry divisions, and only less than 2,000 escaped, and there were losses. After taking a division commander, the only remaining one naturally carried all the blame, and was scolded by Laiman, unable to lift his head.

Lyman also knew that his reprimands could not change anything. After he vented the anger in his chest, he stopped roaring, sat down on the chair, panting heavily, and looked at the man standing in front of him with his red eyes. The three division commanders and the staff members in the headquarters all held their breath subconsciously, lightly, for fear of making a noise and causing trouble to the upper body.

Looking at the three division commanders with their heads bowed like ostriches, Lyman was also thinking about how to deal with them. It would be impossible to handle them with care. Severe handling will cause even worse effects.

When other commanders saw it, there was no awe in their hearts, and similar incidents were likely to happen again. At that time, it was too late for him to deal with the commander who made mistakes, because the latter would use today’s example to oppose him.

Therefore, the necessary sacrifices are still required, not to mention, the relationship between him and the three people in front of him is not close enough to require him to protect them, and there is no psychological pressure on him to dispose of these three people.

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.

“Tariq Dost, Imogen Banker, Lloyd Slok.” He recited the names of the three division commanders in a deep voice, and the people who were read the names stood up subconsciously and looked nervously at the Layman, they all know very well, the next time is probably when Layman will pronounce on them.

“Tariq Dost, Imogen Banker, as the commander of the 10th and 11th Divisions, was ineffective in command, leading to defeat, and abandoning his men to flee the battlefield. According to the laws of the Republic of Enkland, I shall not Without regret, the two of you will be temporarily deprived of your positions, and the gendarmerie will press you back to Enclance to be tried by a military court.”

“What?” The two commanders whose names were pronounced were shocked after hearing Laiman’s trial. They only felt that their whole body’s strength had been deprived, and they almost fell to the ground. At this moment, Laiman’s adjutant also The gendarmerie standing outside was called, and several gendarmerie came in and stood behind them.

Watching this scene, Lloyd Slok, the only one who had not yet been sentenced and dealt with, swallowed nervously, and at the same time thought in his heart what other guilt he had besides the defeat in battle, he couldn’t find any other guilt after thinking about it. The point that can be held accountable is also relieved a lot.

“Lloyd Slok’s poor command resulted in heavy losses for his subordinates. He was demoted from a brigadier division commander to a colonel brigade commander. I will report the results of your disposal to the council.”

Hearing that it was just a demotion, Slock breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly said, “General, thank you for your kindness, I promise that I will go all out in the next battle and make merit.”

Lehman just nodded lightly, the adjutant beside him waved his hand, and motioned the military police to take the two infantry division commanders away, the military police captain nodded and said to the two: “Two gentlemen, please come with us. .”

The two turned around and walked out of the headquarters under the **** of the gendarmerie. They knew that it was useless to argue, so they might as well follow the gendarmerie and leave, and when they returned to Enclance, relying on their own and family connections, they could send the results of the trial as far as possible. Lower the judgment and minimize the loss.

After the two left, Slok, who was lucky not to be taken away, did not stay, and left the headquarters behind them. After they left, the staff who had been afraid to make a sound also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk. , one of the staff officers walked quickly to Lehmann and reported to the latter: “General, the ninth division that is preparing to recover the frontline supply station has been assembled, and the twelfth division, seventh division and second brigade are also on the way. Assembling.”

“How long will it take for them all to gather?” Layman asked, raising his hand and rubbing his aching temple.

“It will take at least two days.” The staff officer replied, “This is the fastest time. It is raining behind us and the road is muddy, which has seriously affected the march of the troops.”

“Damn it!” Lyman cursed viciously, “If you delay one more day, the enemy will be able to take some more supplies from the supply depot~www.mtlnovel.com~ The supplies that fall into their hands will turn to help them against us.”

Lyman also knew that this was a force majeure factor caused by the natural weather. He had no way to change this except complaining. He could only wave his hand helplessly and let the staff retreat.

The Enkelan army was unable to assemble quickly due to the muddy roads caused by the rain. On the other hand, the imperial army, which was operating according to the command of the headquarters, was also working overtime at the supply station day and night, digging as many tunnels as possible before the enemy arrived, and pouring the black powder Stored in it, they invested the strength of two divisions for construction. It can be said that at this time, almost every imperial soldier was transformed into a qualified construction team worker.

In addition to digging the tunnels, in order not to let the scouts of the Enkelans notice the strangeness, they are also building construction on the periphery of the supply station, building positions, and disturbing the attention of the Enkelans through the movement of the outer construction site, for the internal excavation work Play cover.

At the same time, the soil excavated from the interior can also be transported to the surrounding construction sites for use, and stacked with sandbags filled with sand to form a chest wall, which perfectly solves the problem of soil disposal. The Lans will soon discover that they are bringing out baskets after baskets of dirt from the supply depot, the origin of which is likely to arouse suspicion among the Enkelans.
