Just when the right flank of the Arubanian Army fell into defeat, Adlem finally got rid of Li Tianhao's entanglement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In today's battle, Li Tianhao's every move was seen through by Adlem, but the battle still reached this step, which was beyond Adlerham's expectations. In each step of his calculations, there were some deviations from the initial estimates, and in the end, they added up to the current situation. One of the biggest miscalculations was that Adlem underestimated Li Tianhao's strength.

Li Tianhao, who was fighting in the enemy's formation, did not exert 100% of his strength, which Adham also knew, but he didn't expect Li Tianhao's combat ability to reach such a level, with his original intention to use his own attack to induce Li Tianhao to use his own attack to recruit after the attack, and use his son Arufa to delay the enemy's action, and then after getting rid of Li Tianhao, he would annihilate the enemy army that was trying to break through his side. But Adlerham never thought that once he and Li Tianhao got into play, it would be difficult to get rid of this opponent again. The strength of the two sides is indeed equal, but the objectives of the battle are completely different. Adlerham just wants to have a taste, but Li Tianhao is stalking in his heart, in the case of the two of them with similar strength, Li Tianhao is determined to drag Adler, how can it be so easy for Adlerm to go? As long as you are careless, you may end up in a different place, so in order to get rid of Li Tianhao's entanglement, Adlem really tried his best.

Unfortunately, it was a little late for him to get out of the heads-up and return to command, and his right flank was already out of control under Elaine's onslaught. However, Adlem did not lose his composure because of this, and he immediately readjusted his forces, readjusting the formation with the existing center army and left flank army while withstanding the attack of the Palci army. This is easy to say, but it is 10,000 times more difficult to operate in practice, and Adlem can do such a thing in front of the enemy. Not only that, but he also made a timely attack to rescue some of the defeated soldiers of the right flank, and finally regained his position before dark.

At this point in the battle, Li Tianhao had to grit his teeth and order to stop the attack. After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses. The Palchi army lost more than 14,000 men, nearly twenty-five percent of the total number of troops; The losses of the Arubanian army were as high as 23,000 men, more than a third of the battle losses, most of whom lost their lives after the right flank was broken. If you only look at the loss of troops, of course, Palch has a slight advantage, but if you calculate this account carefully, Li Tianhao actually suffers a loss. Because his losses were all veterans of battle, including a considerable number of elite cavalry; Adlem's army is certainly strong but not too experienced in combat, and many of them have completed the transformation from recruits to veterans after this battle. Moreover, in terms of the battlefield situation, the Arubanian army was not inferior, and the Palchi army was still unable to advance to attack the city of Agoba.

After this battle, both sides had a deeper understanding of each other's combat strength, and Li Tianhao understood that it was almost impossible to defeat Adlem's army from the front; Adrim was also impressed by the strength of the Palci army, and in his later recital to King Dicar, he clearly pointed out that the Palci army was indeed stronger than the Yaqui army in its heyday, and that if such an army was to be defeated, King Dikal would need to provide him with more troops and more adequate food and equipment.

After that, the two sides continued to hold on to each other for almost a month, with no progress being made. However, Li Tianhao sent Jimda to support the 20,000 people who were sent to support Gernath and finally failed to take the city of Belcher, because before Aderim sent troops to the city of Agoba, the deployment of the northern defense line had been readjusted, and half of the troops originally deployed in the rear were transferred to the city of Belcher, and the city itself was a semi-fortified city, so Gernas retreated and did not take a strong attack. Li Tianhao, who learned the news, immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

This ended the first battle between Palchi and Arubania, and the final result was that both sides withdrew their troops.

Strangely, in the eyes of later historians, it is almost unanimously agreed that Li Tianhao won the battle, because although neither side can help the other, but in any case, Palchi captured a series of Arubanian strongholds and defended them, so the actual line of fire between the two sides advanced several miles to dozens of miles on the Arubanian side. In particular, Palci captured the two coastal cities of Arubania, Sher and Willi, which were indeed of little practical value to Arubania, but became very important pawns for Palci. Because after the capture of these two cities, Brooks not only demolished all the coastal defense systems of these two cities, but also greatly strengthened them, making them the former strongholds of the two Palci. In the days that followed, the two cities not only expanded in size, but also expanded their harbors, bringing food, weapons, and troops from Palchi, making them an important land sortie in Palchi. From here, Palchi can directly threaten the flanks of the city of Agoba, and this alone is enough to show the strategic value of these two cities.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and even Adelim did not realise at the time that the loss of these two small cities would cause such huge problems in the future. Adlem was a general who was born in land warfare, and he did not realize that these two cities were difficult for Arubania to supply, and it was useless to hold on, but for the Palchi navy, which could dominate the Narrow Sea, these two cities could control the Narrow Sea more effectively, and it was much easier and faster to transport supplies by ship than by land across the desert. For Arubania, the small loss eventually turned into a sharp knife inserted into Arubania's soft underbelly, a concept that only Li Tianhao, who had experience in maritime trade, would give priority to him, and it was this awareness that inadvertently helped Li Tianhao gain some advantages.

News of the battle of Agoba quickly reached Basradia, the capital of Arubania, and Dikar trembled with anger when he received the report. Of course, he would not have understood how much effort and effort Adlerum had put into this battle, he only knew that in this battle Arubania had suffered heavy losses and lost a lot of territory, while the Palci side did not lose a single piece of territory. This was not what he had hoped for, and he had sent Adelim south to defend against Palci in the hope that he would achieve a great victory. And now Adlem has obviously failed to live up to his expectations, in Dicar's consciousness has always believed that Adlem is skeptical about being squeezed out of the position of general, and this result fully shows that he himself lacks the will to defeat the enemy, because once he wins the enemy, then Adrim is useless, on the contrary, if the enemy army is a hidden danger to the country for a long time, his position can be stable for a long time. As a king, he must severely rebuke this kind of unenterprising behavior in order to set an example. (To be continued.) )
