Emperor Soladin I of Estan turned over from his horse and went to the ground, and some of his attendants took the polo club in his hand and handed him a hot wet towel. The horse trainer who had been standing next to him also quickly pulled the sweaty horse away and slowly walked away to relieve his breath. In the dusty polo field, there was still the thunderous sound of hooves, and dozens of Istan knights divided into two teams waved their clubs, shouted loudly, and galloped back and forth.

Soladin I sat calmly on the chair on the sidelines, drank hot soup, watched the game in the field, and closed his eyes to recuperate, then he turned his eyes to the intelligence officer who had been waiting for a long time by his side, and snorted in a dissatisfied tone, "How is the progress on the crown prince's side, it has been blocked on the front line of Anlil for three days"

Before Soladin I cast his gaze, the intelligence officer stood straight beside him, without making a sound, the intelligence officer knew the emperor's habits, and even if the sky was about to fall in the next second, he would never allow himself to panic, calmly, a royal family of noble blood should have the basic elements since childhood. As a royal family, Soladin I was disrespectful in his youth, but since he sat on the throne of the emperor, he has religiously followed every rule handed down by the royal family of Istanbul, and has also demanded the same from his subordinates.

"Majesty!"

The intelligence officer opened the text and reported the current situation, "The Fourth Army of the Empire led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was ordered to cut off the passage from the flank to the Rabuda fortress of King Fishan, and to block the reinforcements of the Fesan army to the Rabuda fortress, but it has been confirmed that the people of Fisan rescued the trapped troops of Rabuda this time. The mobilized was Feishan's famous general Yolanda, and his legion was the Crow Legion, known as one of the three major legions of Feishan, with a total of 60,000 troops. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Fourth Legion is only 40,000 people, and the disparity between the strength of the two armies is huge, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is difficult to open the situation for a while!" "It's not that the Black Crow Legion has never fought before, and its combat strength is just like this, and it was blocked for three days in a row, it's really ...... This is war, not a court that plays war games! Just another person!" Soladin I nodded with his eyes closed, and said indifferently, "Tell the crown prince, let him come back." As a future imperial monarch, a qualified strategist is not necessarily a qualified front-line commander, he should now understand that it is far more valuable to look at war from a strategic position than to be on the front line!" "Yes!" the intelligence officer closed his grip with an ugly face. Then he said, "The Strait Kingdom secretly sent people to ask for an audience with His Majesty."

"The Sea of Alien?"

Soradin slowly opened his eyes. Look at the dust and fog that fills the polo field. I can't help but have my eyes shining, the prestige of the Sea Kingdom has plummeted since the defeat in the southern part of the country, and its sphere of influence has also shrunk significantly.

However, the strength of the Naval Fleet is still able to rank among the top three in the Inland Sea, which is weak, and that is also depending on the opponent, the combat power of the Falcon Empire Navy is already overwhelming. If it is compared with the Fishan navy, the strength of the sea country is comparable.

And the Fesan navy is now cruising like a shark on the coast of the Istanbul Empire, and Yan zhòng threatens the coastline of the Istanbul Empire, if it weren't for such consideration, Emperor Soladin would have pressed the 300,000 Istanbul army in one go, instead of maintaining 50,000 troops as a precaution at all times, so that the progress is slow

Now the Aliens have sent someone! Emperor Soladin is not a fool, the other party should have come to make a deal, and the Stranger's desire for the Fishan Coast has long been no secret,

The reason why the Phassan Kingdom is willing to spend huge military expenditures to maintain the strength of the navy is not only to deal with the pressure of the Iraqis, but also to prevent the Aliens, if it is in the situation that the main force of the Ferzan Navy is still in the country, the Alien Navy can play a very little role, but now that the Ferzan Navy is wandering outside, the sudden addition of the Alien Navy is definitely a heavy weight to break the current stalemate in the war!

"Who is the secret envoy of the Strants?" Emperor Soladin stood up from the bench, looked at the passionate polo game in the distance, and asked in a condensed voice, "It's the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Sea of Strands, Duke Eyharley!" The intelligence officer replied respectfully, "Love Harley, I have the impression of this person, a young man full of ambition and motivation!" Emperor Soladin nodded, waved his hand to the intelligence officer, and said, "In the afternoon, bring him to me!" ......

The commander of the fifth fleet of the Sea Kingdom of Strand rolled up the text brought by Aiharley one by one, neatly put it into nine wooden cylinders of equal size, and heard a rush of footsteps outside, it was the personnel of the Iraqi intelligence department who was in charge of liaison this time, and the news brought this time made Aiharley's expression perk, Soladin I agreed to see himself, Aiharley's heart flashed with ecstasy, and the Sea Country finally took the first successful step towards land,

You must know that this time, the personal mention of Prince Anji, who was born in the neutral faction, was deliberated by the Supreme Council of the Sea State, and the resolution of the Strait Sea State to intervene in the situation of the Strait Sea State was rarely approved by the high-level of the neutral faction and the action faction, and this resolution was also regarded as a major turning point in the reversal of the fate of the Sea Kingdom, as a secret resolution that could change the fate of the Sea Kingdom, and the order to fight against Fei Shan was now kept strictly secret.

In order to ensure that there is no leakage, there are absolutely no more than ten people who know this plan in the sea country, and the whole plan is completed in three parts, the first step is that the navy of the sea country raids the coast of Fishan to completely destroy the foundation of the Fishan navy, so that even if the battle is unfavorable, the Fishan navy cannot pose a threat to the islands outside the sea in a short period of time, and the second part is that the navy provides the fleet, and the Istan Empire provides the land force, and lands on the land connected with the sea kingdom and Fishan, and after the fleet obtains a fixed point on the coast, it will support the Istan Empire from the sea to advance to the hinterland of Fishan from the sea with the connection point, while the Empire of Istanbul was responsible for protecting the land interests of the sea state,

In the face of the powerful Fishan Navy, the Alien Navy asked the Dragon-class battleship from the Falcon Empire of the Istan people to join the battle, which was also a factor for the Supreme Council of the Sea to consider participating in the war. If the Alien Navy and the Fishan Navy are a balanced scale, then the addition of this super battleship with powerful attack power is enough to reverse the balance of power between the Alien Navy and the Fishan Navy. In return for the attack on Fessan, the Sea Kingdom hoped that Emperor Soladin I would promise to give the Fishan coast to the territory of the Sea of Strands after defeating Fishan, and the Sea Kingdom did not worry about the Iranians not agreeing to this, and the Iraqi Empire, which was proud of Central Europe and Baro with its army, had always ignored the existence of the coastline and did not have a navy. It is even more impossible to choose to face the retaliation of the sea state for the sake of some coasts.

In the afternoon, the intelligence officer of Istanbul took Duke Ahalle to meet with Emperor Soladin I. After reading the plan of the sea country, the emperor was silent for a moment, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest, and his eyes looked at the somewhat nervous Duke of Ahalley. "This is a very satisfying plan. I also believe in the sincerity of the Hai Kingdom, it is not a problem to pay for the coastline after the war, and it is not difficult to let the Dragon-class warships participate in the battle, but what if the Hai Kingdom loses in the naval battle of Faisan? According to the plan, my army has already landed at that time, and once your sea country's fleet withdraws, our imperial army will be in a situation where the enemy will be on its back!" And once the battle is lost, I believe that the first target of the Fishan navy will still be our sea country. And His Majesty's army can be evacuated calmly!" Duke Eyharley straightened up and saluted respectfully, "Well, okay, deal!" Soladin I smiled at the corner of his mouth, the Sea Kingdom joined his side, and it was difficult for the Faisan Kingdom not to die this time......

In the south-central part of the country, the southern army of the Republic of Kong-Africa led by Varisian was blocked, and Isasonko, who lost the first battle, ordered the whole army to retreat, and then Varisian realized that he was deceiving Isasonko with the number of Thor, and Isasunko was also using the posture of guarding the front line to deceive himself, and a huge fortification suddenly appeared in front of the Varisian army ten miles away from the battle line leading to the throat of the northern region, Sovala, a huge fortification,

When Isasonko knew that he could not stop the attack of the Falcon Army, he was already preparing for the second line of defense, and transferred the main force to the first line, which seemed to compete with the Falcon Army on the opposite side, but in fact, in the second line that the Falcon Army could not pay attention to, more than 20,000 laborers mobilized by the coalition army spent half a month to carry out large-scale excavations in the Sovala Fortress, the soil of the Sovala Fortress is relatively soft, and the periphery is basically fields. Even in winter, no hard soil was formed, and 20,000 laborers dug hundreds of tunnels like spider webs here!

"It's ......!"

Even with Varisian's calmness, he couldn't help but look stupid, the coalition forces retreating from the engagement line all entered the tunnel at once, and the Falcon Army's Thor firepower advantage, crossbow long-range killing, was basically gone. And the coalition army has a large number of archers in these tunnels, as long as the falcon army wants to get closer, it will immediately be a piece of flying arrows from the direction of the tunnel, and no one can see it.

As the attack of the imperial heavy infantry, a heavy armor almost more than thirty pounds, against the rain of arrows to reach the tunnel, the tunnel in front of them actually made these brave imperial heavy infantry hesitate, the depth in the tunnel is definitely more than one meter five, some of the deepening section is more than two meters, the archers of the coalition army are stepping on a kind of wooden ladder structure to shoot outward, if the heavy infantry jumps, the thin wooden ladder will collapse, dozens of pounds of equipment, as well as heavy shield spears, it is difficult to easily climb out of the tunnel at such a depth, even if the heavy infantry is outstanding, crawl out, looking at the more than a dozen similar tunnels paved in front of them, the corners of the eyes of the heavy infantry are twitching,

It's too shameless, this method can also be thought of! Varisian can only temporarily order the legion to stop the attack, although from his position, he can't fully see the appearance in the tunnel, but it can already be predicted, as long as these tunnels are aimed at the sharp distant attack of the Falcon Imperial Army, this is the first time that the Falcon Imperial Army has encountered such a helpless situation, no matter how dense the artillery fire and crossbow arrows, it is impossible to kill and injure all the allied soldiers hiding in the tunnel. The Allied soldiers can easily block the large-scale advance of the Falcon Army under the cover of the guò tunnel.

It seems that he can only use the most stupid method, one tunnel after another, to conquer the tunnel! Varisian's nose was crooked, and with the rush and cold, he saw through the lookout glass that more coalition soldiers were about 300 meters away, continuing to expand the tunnel. These coalition soldiers, who had withdrawn from the front, were arranged in staggered columns. Lying on the ground, he quietly waved his tools. One by one, he tossed the dirt to his right hand and scattered it in disarray. But it was obvious to see that the cobwebs against the fortress were expanding, "Thor, stop them immediately!"

Varisian exclaimed angrily. "Boom!" Thor on the position began to roar, rows of black smoke columns rose in the direction of the tunnel, and people and debris could be seen flying into the air, but it was quite difficult to accurately hit the coalition soldiers who were digging the tunnel at a distance of two hundred to three hundred meters. Except for part of the Thor hit range, the rest of the explosions are basically a waste of Thor bullets. Fortunately, Thor's bombing caused confusion among the Coalition soldiers digging in the earth. The excavation work was temporarily stopped, and the battle line between the two armies was as calm as it had been for a while.

In desperation, Varisian decided to organize an attack. The Imperial hoplites built a path with planks and stormed the fortress directly, only to be met with a fierce counterattack from the trebuchets on top of the fortress at a distance of about a hundred meters. Although the trebuchet is not very powerful. But it was enough to suppress the Imperial heavy infantry, who had to step on the planks forward,. And the fire of the coalition archers from the side tunnels was equally fierce, and the imperial heavy infantry was once again pressed back,

"Set up camp and rest!"

Varisian really felt a little helpless, the opponent is a typical turtle tactic, and he won't show his head when killed, even a fool can predict that the other party's purpose is not to fight. It's about procrastinating, as much as you can. As far as I am concerned, the most tense thing now is time, if I can't cut into the back of the main force of the coalition forces within the predetermined time, the whole battle may be reversed! At the same time, the battle reports are also reported one by one, and even the fat man is shocked in the end.

"Huh? That's a ...... Trench?"

After carefully reading the urgent report, the fat man's face was very exciting,

Isn't this the kind of trench that only emerged in the 17th century when the morale of war appeared? How could the super defense, which was designed to deal with long-range covered firepower, be applied to one's own land?

The fat man didn't realize that war is the best catalyst for the development of things, and since there are terrifying long-range weapons in the Falcon Empire, there will naturally be people who will come up with a way to restrain themselves, and war itself is a powerful evolutionary body.

The fat man turned back and forth a few times in the temporary headquarters of Putao, his eyes were a little red, since Varisian started to move, the Imperial Guards went south to Putao with the Imperial Navy, and the Imperial Central Army drove to the southwest, the net has been opened, and now he is waiting for Varisian to cut off the back road of the coalition army, but he dropped the chain at such a critical moment,

Once the coalition forces became vigilant, the trap they had set for the bait with five hundred miles of land was completely ineffective, and the fat man suddenly stood up and said fiercely to the officer who sent the battle report, "Sue Varisian, use all the crude oil incendiary bombs you carry, since the other party wants to block it with a tunnel, then use the incendiary bombs to clear a path!" The fat man's voice paused, and he said decisively: " Tell Sù Warisian, I will immediately send someone to transport 500 barrels of crude oil from the Putao area to him, and within two days, if he cannot break through the blockade of the coalition army, he, the governor of the Gangfei Southern and Putao joint areas, will not do it!"

After receiving the fat man's order, Varisian immediately began to prepare, sending additional people to assemble improvised trebuchets with wood, just not the Southern Army itself carried 500 incendiary bombs, mainly used to attack large fortified fortresses, and now plus the five hundred barrels of crude oil transported from the Putao area, Varisian's confidence came up at once, or the falcon is clever, can't it be blown up, can't it be burned! As long as the crude oil is sprinkled according to the area and the whole area is burned, the coalition soldiers in the tunnel will not have a second way to go except to run out before burning to death, and the coalition commander will also move the headquarters to the tunnel in order to encourage the morale of the coalition army.

On the morning of January 19, the battle began again.

With the whining of the trombone tearing through the calm of the sky from the direction of the Falcon Army, the coalition soldiers in the tunnel, like ants that have been stabbed in their nests, ran out from all corners,

In the direction of the Falcon Army, the small penangular flag of the Falcon Army hanging in the hands of the riders at the front of the queue made a loud vibration sound in the wind, 10,000 hoplites of the Gangfei Southern Army wore strict mask-covering helmets, holding heavy shields and spears with cold light, densely lined up in front of ten huge phalanxes, the metal shields flashed in the front with a burst of cold light, and behind the shields, you could see the whole piece of long tassels fluttering like flames, which were beautiful red tassels on the tips of the Falcon heavy infantry helmets, fluttering with the wind in the wind, like a piece of red from a burning earth, boundless, filling everyone's sight, bringing people a strong visual impact,

"Haha, here again heavy infantry!Doesn't the other party know how to change it" The coalition soldiers looked at the Falcon Army in the distance, their faces were relaxed and ruthless, and the powerful momentum on the other side did not have for them,

The battle in front has proved that the heavy infantry of the Falcon Empire cannot cross the tunnel area at all, and no one has noticed that behind these powerful military formations, hundreds of heavy trebuchets like giants are slowly moving under the impetus of the soldiers, and the long trebuchet arm is more than twice as large as that of ordinary trebuchets, and in the shooting basket is a round wooden cylinder,

With a command, these logs were thrown out, and one by one they fell from a height inside and outside the coalition tunnels on the opposite side, snapping into pieces of wood, and the black pungent liquid inside splashed everywhere, and as the wooden barrels were broken in a large area, the sections of the tunnel were lower than the surrounding ones, and the black liquid flowed into the tunnel from the ground like a stream (to be continued...... to be continued)
