Chapter Ninety-Nine: Seven Large Pieces of Meat

Ardham angrily threw the report on the table - not a single piece of news was reassuring to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city of Willy was conquered by the enemy general Tatar; Scheer City is also in danger under Brooks' attack; Gurnas had begun to attack the city of Belcher; His son, Arufa, and 10,000 horses were trapped in the city of Agoba.

Originally, Adlerham's plan was to let his son Arufa's reinforcements fish out Li Tianhao's main force, and then send troops to fight against it. However, he never expected that he told his son to fight steadily, but his son rushed forward to seek a battle to decide the victory, and finally was caught by the enemy and had to retreat to the city of Agoba. In this way, his 10,000 horses were not only not formed with the garrison of Agoba City, but were trapped together, which was obviously a huge challenge to the food inventory of Agoba City, and the ration consumption was nearly three times more at once, so the time to hold on would obviously be greatly shortened. Adlerham had to consider whether to send reinforcements here first.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and at this moment of anxiety, King Dicar's will came again. As expected, DeCarr was unhappy with his approach. Dikar believes that Adlerham's passive defense method is completely unreasonable, and this kind of layered defense and consumption of the enemy's troops will inevitably cause heavy casualties on both sides, which is obviously unfavorable to Arubania, which has not yet fully recovered its national strength. At present, Arubania should lure the enemy as deep as possible and seek an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Palchi army in the war, so that Palci will lose the ability to attack Arubania again for a period of time, so that Arubania will have time to recover its national strength.

Adlem felt that Dikar's idea was a complete wishful dream, and that while his strategic intentions were correct, he ignored the fundamental problems between the two countries. At present, in terms of the combat experience and morale of the army, it is obvious that Palchi has more advantages, but when it comes to the recovery of national strength, in fact, Arubania is better than Palchi. Palci, after all, ruled on the basis of the ruined homeland of Yaqui, and its desire to restore its power was more urgent than that of Arubania. Moreover, Adlerham carefully studied the current political situation in Palchi, and he understood that the two countries were obviously superior to Palchi in terms of political system, and this gap would grow wider and wider over time, and if it was allowed to develop on its own, then within ten years Arubania would be completely unable to compete with it, so Adlerham would choose to adopt this defensive posture after the war between the two countries. He understood that Li Tianhao's weakness was his youthfulness, and he must not be willing to accept the defeat in the fortress of Baroud, and he would soon raise troops for revenge, and Adlerm hoped that Palchi would use this method of warfare to consume their elite troops when attacking, so that the advantage of Palchi's combat power would be partially neutralized, so as to give the Arubanian army a chance to be invincible in the long-term confrontation.

Unfortunately, his calculations were all wrong, and the king now ordered himself to immediately dispatch all his forces to annihilate or repel the Palci army. For the king's remote command Adlem could have been ignored, because he knew that the general would not be subject to the king's order, and he had to continue to consume with him before Li Tianhao dispatched the main army, but unfortunately now that Alufa is trapped, if he doesn't rescue him, then it is foreseeable that the city of Akoba will fall first. The city of Agoba was an important point of support for his first line of defense, and if it fell, the most likely course of action for the enemy would be to sweep southeast and join forces with Sher and Willy. Although this piece is not a strategic priority, it can attract more attention and anger from Dicar, and Adlem does not dare to hope that his successor after his ouster will carry out his strategic intentions.

"It seems that getting Arufa out as soon as possible is the only way to go." Adelim said to himself.

That being said, it was only part of his plan. His actual approach was to send 60,000 main troops to the aid of the city of Agoba, with which the 15,000 men of Hector were simply powerless, so it was foreseeable that Hector would lift the siege of the city of Agoba, so that the 10,000 horses of Arufa would come back to life. Adlem didn't have the ambition to eat Hector in one bite, because he knew that if he really did this, it would be a hard nut to swallow, and at the same time, Li Tianhao's main force would not hesitate to attack in other directions, destroying his own defense system before he nibbled on Hector himself. Therefore, Adlerham's approach is to rescue Arufa's 10,000 people, and then find an opportunity to fight with Li Tianhao's main force, although this is what he is unwilling to do, but it is the best choice at present.

Adlem has always refused to move like a hibernating bear, but once it does, even a cheetah will be ashamed of it. Unlike Arufa's reckless advance, Adlem's troops were slightly slower than Arufa's, but they preserved the soldiers' physical strength very well, so when his troops appeared outside the city of Aruba, Hector was very interested in lifting the siege and retreating twenty miles to hold on. As a result, Arufa and his troops, who were besieged in the city of Agoba, were able to free themselves from the siege and join forces with Adlem.

Confronted his son Arufa, Adrim severely reprimanded him and gave him twenty lashes to remember the lesson of the defeat. The Arubanian army who saw this scene spread the word of mouth, and the military discipline of this army became better than ever, because everyone knew that even the only son of the general could not escape responsibility.

After scaring Hector away, Adlem burned the siege equipment that Hector had too late to take with him, and quickly built a walled city to form horns with the city of Agoba, and then left 2,000 men to defend it, and then began to march towards Hector with a large army. Of course, Adler's purpose is not to annihilate Hector at all, but to fish out Li Tianhao, who is sitting in the rear.

His approach worked, for if Hector's forces were to face an army four times their size, the outcome would be self-evident. And if Hector fails, then all the results of the Palci army's attack in the middle will be in vain. Li Tianhao reluctantly dispatched his 50,000 main force, but unlike Adlerham's expectations, Li Tianhao's target was still Agoba City.

So the Battle of Agoba City began. (To be continued.) )
