October 10, 292 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon fortress, command room.

In recent days, snowy intelligence has been transmitted from spies lurking in the territory of the Holy Hiran empire.

Su Cheng frowned slightly at the large amount of information piled up in front of him.

Willie, standing on Su Cheng's side, whispered to Su Cheng:

"Commander, although there is a lot of information that general Dong's early arrival has led to major problems in the logistics supply of the Hiran army. But this is most likely a false intelligence deliberately spread by the Holy Hiran Empire to confuse us. "

"Yes." Su Cheng replied in a deep voice, "I know."

The intelligence transmitted by these spies is not entirely reliable.

Different spies send back different information.

For example, now: some spies say that there is a big problem with the supply of the Hiran army, but some spies say that the supply of the Hiran army has not been greatly affected.

Some intelligence may even be deliberately spread by the Holy Hiran empire in order to confuse Su Cheng and others.

Blocking intelligence and fighting intelligence warfare - this is the specialty of the British Empire.

On the eve of the "Spring Awakening" offensive two years ago, the British Empire deliberately spread that the "Spring Awakening" offensive was false intelligence against the Frankish empire by virtue of its beautiful "deception battle", which deceived the Lorraine Empire and made the Lorraine Empire neglect its prevention.

In the face of this massive amount of information, I don't know which is true and which is false. Which to believe depends on the ability of the commander of Tongbing.

Staring at the pile of intelligence in front of him, Su Cheng pondered for a long time:

"... no matter whether the supply of the Hiran army has collapsed or not, general Dong's early attack will definitely affect their supply transportation."

"This is for sure. The only problem is the severity."

"The larger the army, the more difficult it is to replenish its supplies."

"There are nearly 300000 combat troops of the Hiram army outside the Great Wall, and the total number of its logistics troops will not be less than 500000."

"The supply and transportation of an expeditionary force with a total scale of nearly one million - an army of this scale will affect the whole body."

"If something goes wrong in one link, the whole supply line will go wrong."

"This year's winter general attacked more than a month in advance - this abnormal phenomenon has not appeared for a long time. Even I didn't expect this situation.

"Even I didn't expect it. I don't believe anyone in the Hiran army opposite could expect it."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused.

After a moment of silence, he continued:

"In fact... This year's abnormal weather has been heralded before, but we didn't care."

"Winter has been getting colder and colder since several years ago."

"Because the winter is getting colder and colder, the war horses in the two horse farms in the North do not grow well."

"In order to solve the supply problem of war horses, I was forced to go to the veteran of Carol at the beginning of last year and invite the blacksmith who knows how to make horseshoes."

"Last winter, it was so cold that Carol and Eliza didn't want to go out. They let me go back to DIDU alone to attend the year-end dinner."

After this year's winter general's early attack, Su Cheng finally woke up: this year's abnormal weather did not happen suddenly. It began to appear a few years ago.

When he became the new commander of Michael's knights and first came to the north, yallin of the North Territory administration, that is, Humphrey's right hand, told him that the winter has become colder and colder in recent years, resulting in the poor growth of the war horses in the two horse farms in the north, and the output of war horses has decreased greatly.

Originally, the daily training of cavalry will consume a lot of horses. If the output of horses goes wrong again, the cavalry of his Michael Knights may have to ride donkeys to train in the future.

Su Cheng can't do anything about the horse farm with output problems. What he can do is to reduce the daily loss of war horses as much as possible.

In order to reduce the daily wear and tear of war horses, Su Cheng was forced to go to Carol's hometown early last year to invite the blacksmith who knew how to make horseshoes.

Thanks to the blacksmith's help, the cavalry of Michael has now popularized horseshoes, and the problem of insufficient war horses has finally been solved.

The increasingly cold weather peaked last winter.

Last winter was so cold that Carol, Eliza and Alan didn't want to go out. Su Cheng went back to pandragon alone to attend the year-end dinner.

General Dong's early attack - this year's abnormal weather began to augur a few years ago, but everyone, including Su Cheng, didn't notice it.

Fortunately, the awesome fortress's reserve capacity is ample, plus the rear supply and transportation is quite powerful. Even if the general of the winter attacked in advance, it did not suffer much damage.

General Dong attacked in advance, and the logistics and transportation of the holy Hiram Empire expedition army with a scale of nearly one million were not affected?

Su Cheng absolutely doesn't believe it!

The logistical supplies of the Hiram army have definitely been affected, but I don't know how big the impact is.

For Su Cheng, what he most wanted to see was the complete collapse of the Helan army's logistical supplies and the inability to send winter war equipment to the front line in time. As a result, the nearly 300000 Helan army in the eghar corridor was shivering with cold and could not even get weapons.

Su Cheng heard from Humphrey a few days ago that the material preparation for the "northern revolution" will be completed soon!

When the materials are ready, it is the day of launching the war.

At this juncture when the "northern revolution" is about to start, if the supplies of the Hiram army collapse, it can be said that God bless Britannia! The success rate of operations can be increased by at least 10%.

Of course - Su Cheng only dares to think about such a great thing.

It is absolutely impossible to hope that the enemy will make mistakes, whether on the battlefield or anywhere.

Let yourself not make mistakes, and then slowly wait for the enemy to make mistakes.

No matter whether the logistics supply of the Helan army really collapsed or not, Su Cheng will not let him and his subordinates take it lightly.

When Su Cheng and Willie finished today's discussion and planned to leave the command room, a herald suddenly knocked on the door and informed Su Cheng that Yalin from the north border administration was coming!

The second in command of the northern border administration visited the fortress in person. He would never come to see Su Cheng for tea.

Su Cheng quickly ordered to bring Yalin to the command room to see if Yalin had anything important to tell him.

With a happy look on his face that he couldn't hide, after entering the command room and confirming that there were no outsiders around, yallin said to Su Cheng and Willie in a happy tone:

"All the transport ships, grain, forage and other materials required for the operation of the northern revolution have been in place! You can fight at any time! "

Even Su Cheng, who always does things without surprise, couldn't help raising his eyebrows because of surprise after hearing the news.

As expected, all kinds of materials required for the "northern revolution" operation should not be in place until late October. Unexpectedly, it was so much ahead of schedule.

Su Cheng stood up and looked at the big map hanging on the wall of the command room.

"It's time..."

Su Cheng naturally clenched his fists slowly.
