Chapter 119: Two Fronts of Action
"Myrtis, Myrtis," Mapsur shook his head and sighed, "You are an excellent martial artist, but unfortunately you don't have a great vision." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You mean to say that my fortress has been cut off from water, and sooner or later it will be conquered by the enemy." ”
Mapsur shook his head and said, "It's just for now, but it's not anything further away. If you hold on to this, reinforcements may arrive soon, but you see that the Anmen fortress is almost intact and occupied by the Palchi army, can you imagine that the reinforcements can quickly conquer the fortress and rescue you? In the end, I am afraid that you will burn all the jade, and the friendly forces can only sigh from afar. The Paz Empire had already concluded a contract with Parci, and although Paz was not directly involved in the war between Parch and our country, it was clear that he was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and then profiting from it. The gains and losses of the Anmen fortress will directly affect the balance between the three kingdoms, and now that our fleet has been destroyed, once Anmen falls into the hands of Palci, then the bay of Paz will no longer be shared by us and Paz, but owned by Palch and Paz. Today, although the Second Fleet of Palci has suffered a considerable blow, their Third Fleet is still intact. With the fortress of Anmen as a base, Palci will be able to slaughter the city of Basradic from the sea at any time and place, do you think you can still count on the Paz Empire to save us at this time? It's good if they don't fall into the ground. The Arubanian army could only attack the Anmen fortress from land, while Palchi could take all parts of the Arubanian coast directly from the sea. In addition, they can also attack from the southern front to contain our forces, and if the Paz Empire also sends troops to the border at this time, the remaining troops of Basradis will not even have a problem with self-preservation, and there will be no counteroffensive against the Anmen fortress at all. Such a war would be completely one-sided, Arubania is already embattled, and I can say that we have lost this war! If we can still make peace with Palci for respite, it is a pity that I have met Prince Dils himself to-day, and his momentum tells me that the end of Arubania has come, and it is only a matter of how much time is left, but there is no physiology. Judging from the situation of the whole of Arubania, the gains and losses of your main fortress are not worth mentioning at all, but what you have fought for your life to defend is a meaningless thing, do you want to die in such a worthless place? ”
Myrtis was silent for a moment and said, "If, as you say, the demise of Arubania is inevitable, then the final result is not the same?" I'm just going to choose a better place to die. ”
"Not so! The demise of Arubania is inevitable, but it is only the demise of this dynasty, not the demise of the country! If Prince Dils wants to govern this land, naturally he can't rely on the Parchi or the Yaqui, or on us Arubaneians! Isn't it a good thing for Arubania that his rule is clearer and his people are richer, given his rule of Palci and Yaqui? If it is the people of Arubania who ultimately gain the benefits, and the basis for ruling is still we, the Arubaneians, then it is nothing more than a change of king, a change of allegiance. Wouldn't it be good to keep this useful body and do more for Arubania? You and I are just setting a precedent for surrender, and there will be endless things like this in the future, believe me. ”
Myrtis fell silent again. After a long time, he said, "Mapsul, you are older than me and wiser than me. Maybe I should believe what you say, but I still have a few conditions before Kaejo surrenders. ”
"Just say it."
"I can surrender, but my men must be safe. And they don't always want to stay, and if they choose to leave, they can't be restricted. Although I surrendered, I will not fight the Arubananians, this must be explained beforehand. ”
"Wise choice, Myrtis. I'm so happy for you, I'll go back now. "Mapsur Road. Then he took his leave and left.
Late that night, Mapsur returned again and informed him that Myrtispalci had agreed to all his terms. Early the next morning, Myrtis led his troops to surrender, and Li Tianhao ceremoniously received Myrtis and his subordinates, and gave food, water, and travel expenses to the soldiers who were unwilling to stay. As a result, only one hundred and fifty Arubanian troops actually left, and the rest continued to follow their commander Myrtis.
Li Tianhao kept Myrtis at the fortress of Anmen, but allowed him and his men not to engage the Arubanian army when it attacked. Mapusul was praised as the greatest contributor to the capture of the Anmen fortress.
Ma Pusur immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, you don't dare to take credit for it. He was willing to lead the Misseva fleet and set out at once to take the port of Carter. It was only by taking Port Carter that Palci's fleet really gained a foothold in Path Bay. However, the establishment of Carter Port has a weakness, that is, it itself is set up as a gateway to the fortress of Anmen, against the Paz fleet, so all the defenses of this port are not aimed at the Arubanian side. Therefore, in the event of a counteroffensive by Arubania, the port's defenses must be rebuilt as soon as possible. But for the time being, it is easy to take this port, but it is difficult to rebuild it, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will make up his mind as soon as possible. ”
Li Tianhao nodded and said, "What Lord Mapsur said is extremely true. I have an idea about this, and I will send Lord Elda to Bandar Abbas to negotiate with the Paz people, and buy a shipment of materials from them to ship to Port Carter. ”
"In this way, I ask His Royal Highness the Prince for permission to leave immediately!" Mapsur Road.
Li Tianhao laughed and said, "Master Mapsur doesn't need to be in a hurry. Truth be told, Lord Elda is already on the way to Carter Harbor with a dozen or so ships that you have surrendered. ”
Ma Pusur exclaimed: "His Royal Highness the Prince has already made arrangements, and I really admire him. ”
Li Tianhao took his hand and said, "Actually, I have another thing I want to bother you to run." Please immediately lead ten light ships to the Golden Court stronghold and Maranster Harbor, and bring a letter to Lord Bai'an and Lord Brooks. I asked them to immediately transfer 30,000 elite infantry to the Third Fleet, and I will wait for an opportunity to attack the vicinity of Basarady! ”
"Obey the order!" Mapsul bowed deeply.
As he walked out of the hall, Mapsur turned his head to look at Myrtis, who was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other, knowing each other. Mapsul was right, but Li Tianhao's pace was faster than they expected.
