Chapter 187 The fortress is lost and the alliance door is opened!

Regardless of the internal fighting within the alliance, Chang'an's army's offensive is real.

The primary target of attack.

It is Loton County and all counties and counties in Nash County except the county seat.

Due to the urgent situation and the rush for time, the city walls of these county towns were basically designed as squares with a side length of one kilometer, and the number of troops stationed inside ranged from 3,000 to 5,000, so they could only be regarded as small fortresses.

It's not difficult to attack.

The two armies from the east and west, with divisions as units, launched attacks on multiple county towns at the same time.

In order to capture the fortress by surprise, including the two county towns, under Bai Qi's instructions, the ministries did not use the Kuafu Giant, Magic Crystal Cannon, Bone Dragon and other killer weapons when attacking the county town.

Even the great killer Li Yuanba did not participate in the destruction of the city.

All armies adopt more conventional siege methods. First, they take advantage of the large number of archers and crossbowmen to suppress the defenders at the top of the city with a wave of archers. Trebuchets, crossbows and other siege equipment also

Then exert force.

After that.

Only then did they send out third-order heavy infantry wearing infantry armor to attack the city head and city gate simultaneously.

Although the siege method is quite satisfactory, it cannot withstand the strength of the third-level heavy infantry. In addition, our own side has the advantage of archers, so we still have to forcefully break through the city gates or attack the city walls.

Although casualties were inevitable, it was also a good practice for the troops' siege capabilities.

With the change of offensive and defensive positions between Chang'an and the Aztec Alliance, in the future, if Chang'an wants to continue its external expansion, it will need to constantly face siege battles, which is regarded as an advance drill.

………

Because Chang'an's army marched out in multiple directions, the coalition forces could not be sent by mail between counties.

They can only fight on their own.

In addition, the coalition base camp is surrounded and communications are isolated, making it even more impossible to form effective cooperation.

The last round of major mergers of the Aztec Alliance, although it effectively integrated the power of small and medium-sized lords and improved their combat potential, it also brought about a sequelae——

Due to the annexation of territories, the number of territories dropped sharply, making it impossible for the Alliance army to implement flexible mail delivery between towns and villages, and thus it was no longer possible to implement guerrilla warfare tactics.

The only choice is to go head-to-head with Chang'an's army.

And Chang'an.

What I am least afraid of is a head-on confrontation.

………

Three days.

In just three days, the eastern and western armies successfully wiped out the surrounding counties of the two counties.

Surrounding Loton County and Nash County.

During this period, the alliance had not reached an agreement on whether to reinforce the two counties.

it's good now.

As the outlying counties were wiped out one by one, even if the alliance wanted to send reinforcements, they couldn't.

Because the Chang'an army has cut off all connections between Luoton County, Nash County and the three fortresses, if the alliance still wants to reinforce, it can only pass through the Chang'an defense zone.

This is very dangerous.

Not only that, as the outlying counties were eliminated one by one, Chang'an also successfully cut off all communications between the coalition forces and the alliance. Not even a bird, let alone the messengers, could even think of passing through the Chang'an defense area.

Based on.

It seems that the alliance can only hope that Lorton County and Nash County can defend themselves.

After all, there is the jewel of Chang'an City ahead.

The two counties and cities are the outpost war fortresses built by the alliance. In addition to garrisoning troops, the cities also fully learned from the experience of Chang'an City and built inner warehouse cities.

It has enough food to supply the soldiers and civilians in the city for more than half a year.

At the same time, a very sufficient supply of falling rocks, rolling logs and other city defense materials were also stored, and trebuchets were also equipped, and the number of archers was also very impressive.

therefore.

The alliance is confident that with these two strong cities, it can completely block the attack from Chang'an.

It also made Chang'an suffer the hardships of siege.

If the Chang'an army suffers too many casualties when attacking the city, then the alliance may send reinforcements at any time, sending troops from the three major fortresses into the battlefields of the two counties.

Give Chang'an's army a fatal blow!

In the eyes of the alliance.

No matter how hard the two counties and cities fight, if they stick to it for a month, there will definitely be no problem.

There is absolutely no need to rush.

It is precisely based on the above judgment that the alliance has free time to debate whether to increase troops.

Although the major lords of the alliance are quarreling fiercely, even the Beiyuan Province, which has made it clear that it will not send more troops to the alliance, is actually working hard to speed up the formation of local garrison troops at the county level.

Once the frontline needs it, additional troops can be sent to the frontline at any time.

The idea is good.

But the evolution of things often does not develop in the direction expected by the alliance.

………

June 1st, early morning.

It was the day after the armies from the east and west of Chang'an swept through the outlying counties of the two counties in one fell swoop, and at the same time surrounded Luoton County and Nash County.

The Chang'an army finally showed its ferocious fangs.

west.

Yue Fei, the commander of the Longxiang Army, led the 6th, 7th and 8th Divisions, with one hundred and fifty Kuafu giants, six magic crystal cannons, Suzaku Xiaohong and the magic ape, to surprise Oshan Fortress.

north.

Chang Yuchun, commander of the Fengxiang Corps, led the 16th Division, the 18th Division, and the 19th Division. They also brought one hundred and fifty Kuafu Clan giants, six magic crystal cannons, and the Bone Dragon Sea Dragon King to surprise Luoshan Fortress.

Also cooperating were the Chang'an Navy.

East.

Xue Rengui, the commander of the Flying Bear Legion, led the 21st, 22nd and 23rd Divisions, with one hundred and fifty Kuafu giants, six magic crystal cannons, and sixth-order magic dragons, to surprise Senshan Fortress.

The three armies marched together and attacked the fortress at the same time.

The methods of siege are basically the same.

First, let flying beasts such as Suzaku and Demonic Dragon attack the fortress from the air, spray flames, suppress the archers on the city head, and destroy the trebuchets on the fortress.

Then he asked Kuafu Giant to push the magic crystal cannon and aim directly at the fortress gate.

After several shots, the city gate burst open.

After that, the army marched straight in, causing a massacre in the fortress.

Facing the cheating combination of "Magic Dragon + Giant + Magic Crystal Cannon", whether it was the defenders of Okuyama Fortress, Luoshan Fortress, or Morishan Fortress, they were immediately blinded.

Before they could react, the city gate had already been blasted open.

How can you keep this?

From the beginning of the war, Chang'an's signal to the outside world was to wipe out Luoton County and Nash County. Unexpectedly, it actually made a false shot in the middle and attacked the three major fortresses.

Although Douglas, the commander of the coalition forces, had warned before, he finally relaxed a little.

Due to the superposition of various factors.

As a result, in the eyes of the alliance, the three major fortresses that were originally impregnable all changed hands within half a day.

This undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the alliance!

Caused an uproar.

"What happened? Why were the three major fortresses lost so quickly?"

"Are the fortress defenders just a bunch of stupid pigs? They knew that a war had broken out, but they were still successfully attacked by Chang'an? It's simply unforgivable!"

"Incomprehensible, simply incomprehensible!"

"We've suffered another defeat, can't there be some good news?"

In the past half month, because Chang'an has ceased operations, the alliance lords have somewhat dispelled their fear of Chang'an.

No idea.
