Warlords: Rise of the System

As the bandits had not launched another attack, Lu Tianhao had a feeling that it was very likely that the bandits would not attack again today.

The bandits are most likely plotting some conspiracy and want to launch a more violent attack.

Lu Tianhao asked the front-line troops to leave a few observation posts while the other soldiers rested.

The battle may start at any time, and only when the soldiers have rested well can they cope with more intense battles.

At this time, in the Marshal's Mansion in Kyoto Prefecture, Jiang Guangshi looked at the report in his hand with a worried look.

Jiang Guangshi opened his mouth and said slowly, "The current situation is not optimistic.

Fierce fighting is now taking place on our northern outer defense line. In just two days, the outer reinforcements have suffered heavy casualties.

They lost an entire division of their troops yesterday, and our scouts report that today's casualties will be no less than yesterday's.

If the fighting continues like this, in about seven or eight days, the reinforcements stationed outside the northern line will probably be wiped out.

As for our western defense, the navy of Haisang Kingdom is entering the inland river. In two or three days at most, they will launch an attack.

The defense on the southern front was better, mainly because of the troops led by Lu Tianhao, so there were not so many casualties. "

The Secretary General said, "Yes, after all, there is a mysterious force behind Lu Tianhao.

Today's battle should be a battle between the bandits and Lu Tianhao.

Planes and artillery bombarded and armored forces launched an all-out attack.

If the bandits had attacked the positions defended by other troops this time, they would have broken through long ago.

But they just wanted to attack the position defended by Lu Tianhao.

According to reports from our scouts, the bandits paid a heavy price this time.

There were more than sixty or seventy tanks and armored vehicles destroyed, and the ground was littered with dead bandits.

According to incomplete statistics, nearly two thousand bandit soldiers were killed by Lu Tianhao this time, and there were probably quite a few injured.

It is said that Lu Tianhao's troops suffered less than 100 casualties and more than 100 were injured.

In other words, the bandits paid more than ten times the casualties, but failed to capture the position defended by Lu Tianhao, and were forced to retreat in disgrace.

It seems that Lu Tianhao's troops are much more powerful than we imagined.

It’s a pity that his troops are too small.

Otherwise, we can withdraw some troops from the southern front to reinforce the northern front."

Jiang Guangshi sighed and said, "It would definitely cost a lot to form such a force. If the number of people is too large, the combat effectiveness will not be so strong."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and an adjutant said, "Our scouts discovered that Lu Tianhao had used heavy artillery.

Our scouts did not see them withdraw their artillery.

However, after the small forest with the cannons was bombed by the bandits, our scouts went inside to search but did not find any remains of the cannons.

Did all those cannons just disappear?"

The Secretary General said, "Those cannons were probably blown to pieces and buried in the soil, and the scouts just didn't look for them carefully.

Lu Tianhao is not an immortal, how could he make the cannon disappear out of thin air? "

What else did the adjutant want to say? Jiang Guangshi spoke again, "Okay, with Lu Tianhao's troops on the southern front, we can at least hold out for a few more days.

Let's discuss this now. The northern front has been requesting reinforcements. What should we do?"

Everyone's mood dropped, and the secretary general slowly said, "The number of reinforcements stationed on the northern front is not small.

The most important thing is that their weapons and equipment are too poor, and they can't be compared with the bandits' troops at all.

It is precisely because of this that the troops of these warlords suffered such heavy casualties.

We now have only two options, either to send our elite troops to reinforce.

Our elite troops are equipped no worse than the bandits. With their reinforcements, we should be able to hold off the bandits' attacks.

However, I do not agree with this approach.”

A military commander asked in confusion, "Secretary-General, why don't you agree with this method?"

The Secretary General sighed and said, "The warlord troops stationed outside the northern line are a mixed bag, although they fight very bravely.

However, they lack the tacit understanding to cooperate with each other.

They also lack recognition of unified command. It can be said that they act independently and there is no way to form a unified command.

Once our elite troops are sent up, they will most likely be worn down by the troops of these warlords."

Jiang Guangshi nodded in approval, "Indeed, then what is the second method?"

The Secretary General said calmly, "That is, we will provide these reinforcements with some advanced weapons and equipment, and equip them with more ammunition.

I believe that as long as they have enough ammunition, these reinforcements should be able to withstand the attacks of the bandits."

Before Jiang Guangshi could speak, the officer in charge of military supplies spoke up, "Secretary-General, we don't have many weapons and ammunition in stock.

Can we provide them with some weapons and equipment to support them?

It would probably be difficult to provide them with large amounts of ammunition.

We only have a small arsenal in Kyoto Prefecture that can only produce some guns and bullets, and the daily output is very limited.

In addition, Kyoto Prefecture was almost blockaded by bandits, and the raw materials for making bullets were now all from previous stocks.

At most, the raw materials will be used up in about ten days.

When that happens, every time you use a bullet, you have one less bullet, and there will be no way to get a replenishment."

Jiang Guangshi asked, "How many bullets can we produce every day?"

The quartermaster replied, "We can produce less than 100,000 rounds of ammunition every day, day and night."

Jiang Guangshi was a little impatient. "What do you mean? If we produce more than one million bullets, we will have no source of bullets."

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank. If this was the case, there was no way to fight this battle.

There are more than one million bullets. Even if all of them were sent to the reinforcement troops on the northern front, each soldier would only get a dozen bullets.

In the current fierce battle, a dozen bullets are not enough to sustain even a day's battle.

The Secretary-General also sensed the seriousness of the problem, “How much ammunition do we still have in stock?”

The quartermaster did not give a specific number. "According to the current situation, the fighting can only sustain us for a month at most before our ammunition runs out."

Everyone felt the seriousness of the problem. Without ammunition, how could they fight the bandits to the end?

Jiang Guangshi and the secretary-general knew very well that the ammunition would be exhausted in less than a month.

The reinforcements need to have their ammunition replenished by Jiang Guangshi.

Jiang Guangshi promised these reinforcements that he would supply each soldier with ten rounds of bullets every day, with a delivery every three days.

If you encounter a fierce battle, you will need to replenish these bullets at any time.

Jiang Guangshi was confused. What should he do next?
