"Commander, it's been two weeks since we attacked the fortress of Briguz, shouldn't we give the soldiers a little rest?"

Half a month later, it had been two full weeks since the Amestorius Raiders Army, led by General Gil Nafo of the Draguma Eastern Command, had attacked the northern fortified defense line of Bliguz.

For two weeks, the Imperial Army used the heavy artillery brought by rushing through the country to bombard Briguz in a vain attempt to destroy the defenses of Briguz and break the morale of the defenders, but ......

"Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of artillery from Bliguz in the distance was still as loud as half a month ago

The entire garrison of Briguz, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong, remained firmly guarding their fortress under superior enemy artillery fire and repeated onslaught from troops.

Thanks to the perfect and solid defense system of the fortress of Bliguz, which has been continuously strengthened and repaired by several officers and soldiers of the Northern Army for more than ten years, even if it was bombarded by the fortress of Draguma for half a month, the fortress of Bliguz still stands on the Isthmus of Bliguz.

Thanks to the backward railway network in the eastern part of the country, supplies and artillery ammunition had to be unloaded at railway stations more than 600 kilometers away

Poor dirt transport to the Bluguz front.

So the caliber of the cannons that the empire could transport was pitiful, the largest was only 220 mm.

Ammunition is also not sufficient.

Shells of this caliber relied on to destroy

The fortress of Bliguz was very difficult.

"The damage done by our artillery to the enemy's defenses is too limited! This attack itself is too poorly prepared, my Excellency Commander! Please take back the order and let our soldiers withdraw. ”

Deputy Commander Barkhov said to the Commander-in-Chief

"The attack on Briguz was an order from His Majesty the Emperor, an agreement between our empire and our southern allies, and just as we were attacking Amestolis, the armies of the Ayerug Federation were also marching into a full-scale attack on Amestolis. As long as our offensive continues. ”

And the commander lying on the table was very calm.

This attack was very hasty, he knew that his troops lacked enough heavy large-caliber artillery to break through the city, and he had some hope of breaking through the city, but ......

"In that case, why do you still order the troops to go on the offensive ?! Now the troops have suffered heavy casualties, ammunition consumption is huge, and the morale of the troops has also suffered a huge blow because of the heavy casualties. ”

Yesterday, when he inspected the wounded barracks, Barkhov had already sensed the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, and they had already despaired of this fortress, which seemed to be immobile no matter how much the shelling was carried out, and they had long thought about how to achieve victory, but only how to go home a day earlier.

In half a month, every unit that participated in the offensive suffered huge damage.

The soldiers' dissatisfaction with the commander was swelling.

Military rations and salaries were withheld by quartermasters.

The Eastern Command, where the Emperor is far away, is where the bureaucrats and nobles have the final say.

These natives of the Eastern Territories had no good opinion of their officers, and only wanted to return to their homes sooner.

Some people have already moved their hearts and minds to shoot the officer.

"Calm down, Your Excellency Deputy Commander, you have to be calm."

Seeing that the deputy was a little anxious, the commander persuaded

"You also know that this attack is actually a crying scene by us in order to paralyze the hateful kingdom of Ancient Radar, in order to make them think that we, Draguma, have decided to launch the Eastern Campaign with all our strength in order to attack Amestoris, when in fact it is ......"

As he spoke, the commander gave a smug look

"Is it so that the ancient radar will see that we are attacking Amestorius with all our might, thinking that we do not have the strength to attack them? Then why is it with Ayerug...... Don't?! ”

The deputy commander seemed to understand what the imperial leaders were playing in this chess game.

"That's right, dear Deputy Commander, you don't really think that Ayerug alone can defeat Amestolius, do you? They fought so many battles with Amerstolis, was there a time when the country's economy collapsed, the army suffered heavy casualties, and then withdrew in disgrace? It's been the same every time in so many years. ”

Seeing that the deputy commander understood some truths, the commander poured a glass of red wine for the deputy commander very kindly, unlike those lowly soldiers, the noble nobles liked to drink wine.

Bright red wine, that's a status symbol

"So this time the Empire signed an alliance with Ayerug with no intention of the victory they can take?"

Taking a sip of red wine, the deputy commander asked

"Yes, to be precise, the Empire is waiting for Ayerug to defeat the war."

"And then?"

"Do you still need me to continue? Excellency? ~”

"No, I've got it."

Then the army of Amestories was in danger of crushing Ayerug, and at this time the opportunity of the ancient radar kingdom came.

Ayerug's feud, when Gu Lei saw that the enemy had suddenly lost the battle, and the army was poor, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

At this time, Draguma, who was not moving in the north, became their only concern, and if Draguma was attacking Amestories with all his strength, the last concern of Gureda attacking Ayerug would be eliminated.

In this way, Ame Storis will have to withdraw his army to defend against the attack of the Northern Empire, and it is likely that he will sign a contract with Ayerug, at least the attack on the south will be weakened, so that Ayerug can concentrate his forces against the ancient radar that invaded him.

At this time, the army of Gureda was heavily invested in the southern front to attack Ayerug, and the northern front would be much weaker in the direction of the Draguma Empire.

At this time, it was the Western Front of the Draguma Empire, which had been prepared for a long time and was well-equipped

The timing of a full-scale assault on the unprepared Ancient Radar.

These are the words that His Majesty the Emperor personally gave to Commander Gil Nafo.

The purpose is to let him do a good job of the bitter meat scene, as long as he doesn't compensate the entire Eastern Legion, it doesn't matter if he suffers more casualties.

The key is to let all the nations know that Draguma is attacking Amestolis in full force and that the army's offensive is still intensifying. There is also a steady stream of reinforcements rushing to the East, and the empire of these news has been disseminated more or less through newspapers and news broadcasts.

Other countries may not know it now, but Amestorius has taken it seriously.

Now Estes' father, President Kim Bradley, is anxious that the generals are preparing for the worst, preparing for the enemy on both sides.

"The reserves were ordered to immediately move forward and attack. Replace the troops who have been fighting for more than ten days, and let the reserves retreat tonight to rest. ”

What needs to be done now is to act, and use these soldiers of the Eastern Army in their hands to act out a meat scene of fighting bravely.

"General, the soldiers are already very tired, and their morale is very low......

"Don't worry, the battle on the southern front will be concluded in less than two weeks, as long as our legion lasts another two weeks...... No, we'll retreat in a week when Ayerug's army is defeated at Amistolith, and now let the untouchables hold out for another week. ”

For these broken armies composed of the freedmen of the Eastern Barren Mountains, Gil Nafo was very disdainful of the army composed of serfs from the western manors.

Submissive, cowardly, inferior, ridiculous, sloppy, he finds a sense of pride and nobility as a duke.

"Hurry up and end this boring game, I've seen enough of the uneducated savages of the Eastern Wilderness."

He was now thinking about the ladies and ladies of the Imperial Capital who would be dressed up in fancy clothes a week later.

Although the battle is still almost half a month away, this relational general, who has been pampered since childhood, already has a feeling of eagerness.

"But Your Excellency, let the reserves go up now, and the troops of the second echelon will only come back tomorrow, so won't we have no reserves in the camp tonight? In case of an enemy raid......"

"What raid?"

Frowning, he looked at the commander who had broken his illusions, and was a little unhappy

"Where is the army able to cross the Bligoz Snow Mountain, which has a maximum altitude of 5,000 meters? It's winter, and the snow on the mountain is enough to freeze the bears to death! And what army? ”

In the history of the Western Continent, for thousands of years, no army has ever crossed the Bluguz Snow Mountain, not a single one.

The commander who has read the historical military album and has been in a military school still knows this

"But I asked the hunters in the army, and they said that if they are familiar with the mountain paths, a good hunter can climb the snowy mountains in winter."

"Even if the hunters can, is it possible for the army? Don't forget that our camp has a whole wing of garrisons, and even if a few hunters come over, won't I be able to kill them with one wing?! It's a joke. ”

After saying that, he ignored the nagging deputy commander, and the commander left the command.

“…… Hey, the commander is so light. ”

Watch as the arrogant commander leaves the room and walks in the direction of the dormitory, accompanied by two beautiful Oriental women.

The deputy commander sighed

"However, what the commander said is also reasonable, no army has ever been able to climb over a snowy mountain, there has never been, I better go to the front line to see the situation of the troops first. Today's artillery battle is about to begin again. I hope these soldiers will last until half a month later. ”

Then the deputy commander also left the headquarters, leaving only the huge mountain range in the headquarters with a huge transverse map, the Briguz Snow Mountain.

…………

"Congratulations, excellent soldiers, brave warriors, best hunters, you have conquered the Bluguz Snow Mountain!"
