Bell Mountain City is an unshakable fortress, but no matter how strong the city defense is, it is still dead and cannot be moved, while the people are alive. Fried decided to bypass the mountain city without attacking, and captured its surroundings to make it an isolated city.
He sent the left-wing First Army, Calasias, the third Army, Iron King Lahar, and the central Second Army, Zia Shustin, as the main attack direction, heading south from the eastern area of Bell Mountain City. The right-wing Second Army and the right-wing
The third legion went south from the area west of the mountain city as the secondary attack direction. Finally, the two armies met at Hamei City, about 400 kilometers south and west of the mountain city, and captured Hamei City. The remaining legions were responsible for containing the fortress defenders.
But do not engage in battle with the enemy's troops below the city walls. If you want the defenders to fight, avoid their sharp edges.
The battle progressed smoothly. A total of five legions on the left and right advanced on a front of several hundred kilometers, and soon the advancing distance exceeded the latitude of the mountain city.
But the situation is different now. After several months of rest and recuperation from late autumn to early spring, the West Coast Army and the Royal Army, which came from afar, have adapted to the environment and climate here, and have a deep understanding of the terrain, geography, humanities and customs here. No.
They would get lost and separated during the march, and various problems would arise. And the situation would get worse and worse. The epidemic has been fermenting for several months. If we attack at this time, we will be invincible.
On the other side, in Bell Mountain City, Yanlong saw the offensive strategy of the Royal Quan Army from the map. The staff officer pointed to the map and said: "The enemy is advancing from the left and right. According to the reconnaissance situation, the main force is in the east, and the latest attack point is Rose.
The garrison at Mount Rose only has 600 men and will be lost this afternoon."
"The advance is too rapid. At this speed, they will arrive at Hamey City in less than three to five days." Rainforest Army Ern Claire said: "Now the enemy's intention is clear at a glance. They will capture the province including Hamey City.
Several important big cities on the border have cut off the inter-city transmission between the fortress and the outside world, reducing us to an isolated city. No matter how they think of ways to deal with us, they can do it slowly."
Eagle Doro said: "In this case, we can counter-encircle them. They have advanced too far now, and we can send two elite forces to cut off their retreat, or even cut off only one side, and eat up the relatively weak western army.
If the enemy's two-pronged offensive is lost, the enemy's two-pronged offensive will naturally collapse. As for the enemy's troops waiting to be restrained, you can send two or three light cavalry with a thousand men to monitor the movements. If you find that the main force appears, you can use the forbidden magic Doomsday Judgment to annihilate them all. This way the crisis will be solved.
."
Claire denied: "This strategy could have been implemented three months ago, but it cannot be implemented now. The epidemic outside the city has made the army completely incapable of combat. Once the fortress troops are dispatched, if they cannot form an encirclement with the garrison outside Hamei City to annihilate the enemy,
Due to this situation, at least we will lose two elite troops, and at worst, it may become a breakthrough for the enemy to capture the fortress."
Bell Mountain City now implements very strict isolation measures. Whenever an infected person appears in the city, they will be immediately moved out of the city. At the same time, very strict control is implemented on internal and external communication. All the previously infected people are now cleared, and those who remain are those who have recovered.
Senior officers and healthy sergeants. According to Doro's tactics, no matter whether the attack is successful or not, those who go out will not be able to return to the city.
But if you don’t do anything, it will be difficult for an isolated city to stand. If the royal capital cannot develop a specific medicine for the plague, failure will happen sooner or later. After Anwu Hou Yanlong passed the long examination, he immediately made a decision: "Fried knows the situation in the north and south of the mountain city very well.
Sitting in the mountain city is a dead end. You must take the initiative to attack." He came to the map and said: "But we will not attack the army in the south direction of Hamei City. I will lead a personal guard, and Eagle Doro will lead his men. We
Divide into two routes, one in darkness and one in light, you can choose the opportunity to launch an attack at one of the four places: Black City, Dragon Guard City, Mulberry City, and Skull Hill. Even if these four places are not Fried's base camp, they must be their garrisons.
Important land.”
Claire frowned and said: "This risk is indeed worth taking. Since they want to attack our rear, then we will attack their rear. If their army guarding the north of Bell Mountain City comes back to support, then our army guarding the city will pretend to attack."
In the posture of attacking to the south, the army attacking Hamei City will be worried about being attacked from both sides and will be forced to retreat. However, in this battle, the army of Bell Mountain City must not move lightly. Pretending to attack can only be a feinting attack. Once they ignore it, they will be forced to retreat.
If we want to capture Hamei City and other places, we can only sit back and watch, and we will never actually send troops."
In the war room, the tactical details were worked out in detail. At the same time, two pieces of good news were spread to the army. His Majesty the King mobilized the Red Sun Army to go north to participate in the war. The advance force, the Red Sun Knights, will arrive soon. At that time, the Red Sun Army will be directly attacked by Yanlong.
Adjust condemnation. The second good news is that His Majesty is considering conferring the imperial flag. These two things prompted the army led by Anwuhou to urgently fight a good battle.
Yanlong left Claire to coordinate the overall situation, granting him and the command center the authority to command the army in Hamei City and other places.
One day later, in an area about 270 kilometers southwest of Bell Mountain City, five thousand-man regiments of Purple Star General Greyfa's Eleventh Army were ordered to intercept the enemy's pursuit and cover the wounded and sick who fled south. The three-thousand-man regiment was at Huien River.
They set up an ambush along the coast and used illusion magic as a disguise, and soon saw the vanguard of the pursuit.
When the pursuers arrived at the ambush position by the river, the magic mines buried under the river beach exploded in succession, causing people to fall over and the pursuers on both sides of the river to scramble into chaos. At this time, a killing order was given, and ambushes spread out. The two sides fought fiercely, with armor
The heraldic pattern on it serves as a distinction between friend and foe.
Grayfa's thousands of men were uninfected and healthy troops under his command, specially deployed to intercept the enemy. At this time, three thousand men ambushed hundreds of light cavalry, and they had a great advantage in the situation. The leading officer shouted for kill,
These hundreds of people are going to be eaten in one go.
They fought with four hundred light cavalry led by the gladiators. These cavalry were originally sand-riding bandits in the desert. Their fighting strength was not weak, but what they lacked was discipline. The royal army placed great emphasis on discipline. From last year to this year,
, Fried asked people to pay close attention to their training. Those who failed to pass the training were all removed from the team and organized into a miscellaneous army. The remaining soldiers were highly disciplined soldiers. In order to show the importance they attached to the Sand Pirates Corps, the newly arrived
Thorned shield breastplates and tear steel tanks were distributed to the Sand Pirates Corps, 1,200 pairs, and the 400 cavalry currently led by the Gladiator were all equipped with newly arrived armor, and the cavalry were all 350 bloody war beasts.
and 50 prairie griffins. These two magical beasts can no longer be used as guards after being domesticated, but can accompany the army in battle. They are the standard equipment of light cavalry in the army and are also a symbol of elite soldiers.
The gryphons and bloody war beasts were all wearing armor. Although they were ambushed and suffered countless casualties, under the discipline of military discipline, the brave side of the sand bandits also emerged at this moment. Those who lost their mounts immediately summoned guards to fight, and they did not lose.
The mounts can find the enemy's weak points and rush to kill them. In addition, their weapons have been replaced in the Bell Mountain City. Although the quality is not as good as the thorn shield breastplate and tear steel tank, they are still good soldiers.
The enemy's magic and arrows flew towards them. At first, they only tried to defend themselves. After discovering the protective effect of the spiked shield and breastplate on the swords and arrows, their confidence immediately increased, and they used the small round shields on their wrists to cover their attack.
"Don't be afraid, brother? Their swords can't hurt us, let's fight with them in close combat!" A lieutenant who landed on the ground raised his ax and shouted, and his spiked shield breastplate was hit by the enemy's ax with a magic halo.
, was hit by a hammer attached with fighting spirit. Although there was some damage, there was almost no pain under the breastplate.
"The new armor issued by Wang Quan is so good that they can't break it! Let's go out with the gladiators and defeat them~!" The Thorn Shield Breastplate is a real elementary treasure quality, specially designed for close combat with white blades on the battlefield, and is resistant to
It is characterized by striking and puncture. Encounters often evolve into canine battles without formation, and its defensive strength is difficult for middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers to break through. Coupled with its simple appearance and ultra-low threshold for use, the weapon is
Master Jin En's improvement of the spiked shield breastplate can be called an artifact of mid- to low-level infantry and cavalry.
