Chapter 121: Six Mutations
Li Tianhao's victory was great news for Arubania, in less than a month, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the 80,000 army, and the two generals were killed and captured, almost saying that the entire army was annihilated. The more crucial point of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is that the main force originally used to defend the capital Basradi was almost exhausted in this battle, and now there are less than 30,000 troops that can be used to defend Basarady.
In addition to being frightened, the people naturally attributed the responsibility for the defeat to the commander-in-chief in charge of the defense of Basradis, who was responsible for the defense of Basradis. Contributing to this group was Biduldas, who secretly incited the people to riot and pushed his henchmen to petition His Majesty the King for his removal from office.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were not met with a response from King Dikar II, and the reason was very simple: it was the king himself who rejected Bobo's reactivation of Adlem in the first place, and Bubos believed that no one but Adrim could stop Li Tianhao in the field. The facts also proved that Adlem's prediction was good, Li Tianhao did not attempt to attack Basradis at all, but kept circling around, if it were not for the two troops sent out were easily defeated, it could have stopped the attempt of the Palchi army, but now Dikar really has no face to blame Bopos.
In addition to this reason, there is another reason, and that is the result of Sulla's covert movement. As an important pawn of Sulla's party, the stay of Sula will be directly related to which side the balance of power tilts, and Sulla will spare no effort to keep Bolpos's position. As a result of the secret game between the two sides, Dikar II finally decided to reprimand Bopos and not deprive him of his command.
Of course, Dikar did this not only to balance the balance of power between the two factions, but more importantly, he now needs the command ability of Bopos to defend the capital, if he is removed at this time, then the only person in the entire Arubania who can replace the position of Bobos and has spare is the idle Adlem.
Although Bubo, who can be regarded as carrying the black pot for Dikal, has no complaints on the surface, he still hopes that Dikal II can reactivate Adlerm to save the situation, which makes Dikar II very angry, but he can't be too angry. After all, the biggest crisis at the moment is Li Tianhao's troops outside the city, and other internal struggles can be discussed later, so Dikar can only use the excuse that it is difficult to save the fire from afar, hoping that Bo Bo can turn the tide and save Basradis by himself.
In fact, Bo Bo had no worries about holding Basare, after all, Li Tianhao's army was only 40,000, and it was impossible to conquer Basare, and his headache was the tens of thousands of troops he had lost in vain and the confidence of the people in the surrounding areas of Basradis in the king.
The turning point of the matter soon came, and the first turning point was that the more than 20,000 soldiers captured by Li Tianhao actually came back unharmed. This was a pie in the sky, but Dikar II reacted by forbidding the soldiers to enter the city!
From Dicard's point of view, this matter is very simple, since more than 20,000 people were released by Palci, I don't know how many spies were mixed in it. Once they were put into the city, they would take the opportunity to open the city gate and let the Palci army in, and then the royal capital would fall, which was the most favorable situation for Li Tianhao. Keep these 20,000 men out of the city gates, and if the Palci do kill them, at least they can be the first barrier to Basradia.
From this moment on, Bobo's loyalty to Dikar II changed. He realized that his king was no longer the object of his allegiance, the king's eyes had been blinded, and his mind began to go to a deformed corner - Dikal had not considered the feelings of more than 20,000 soldiers, who had finally returned to their capital after the humiliation of surrender and capture, only to be rejected by their own people, who were desperately short of weapons, food, and even water, but whose king had expected them to continue to be the meat shield of the capital without any appeasement! Bopos was even glad that the Palci had disarmed the soldiers, otherwise he could not have imagined that it would have been the Palchi or the Arubanians who had attacked the walls of the capital.
Fortunately, the heavens did not seem to have abandoned Arubania, and just as more than 20,000 people were turned away, a second turning point came—the general Arufa, who was guarding the northern border, rushed overnight with his army of 70,000 to less than 100 miles from Basratia!
Even Dikar II was puzzled as to why Arufa had come, but at this moment of life and death, Dikar at least felt that the loyalty of these 70,000 men was much more reliable than the 20,000 soldiers outside the gate, so he immediately sent messengers to comfort Arufa and his army, and asked them to go directly to the front line of the battle with the Palchi army, and by the way, the command of the army outside the city gate was also handed over to Arufa.
Afterwards, Dikar II found out that there were two reasons behind Arufa's rush to the battlefield at such a critical moment, and these two reasons were one good and one bad for Dikal. The bad side is that Arufa did not receive orders from anyone to transfer troops, his actions were completely self-explanatory, and the person who ordered Arufa to transfer troops was the person he least wanted to see or even mention, Adlem.
As early as Dikar II's rejection of Bopos's proposal, Adlem judged that the Arubanian army was likely to be defeated, so he secretly wrote a letter to his son Arufa on the northern border, telling him to be ready to send troops south to defend the capital. Adlerum believes that the Paz Empire must not want to clash with Arubania too soon after the civil strife, and certainly does not want Arubania to perish in exchange for a strong, unpredictable Palci. Therefore, it is more in the interest of Paz to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the possibility of sending troops south to Paz to attack Arubania at this time is very low.
As for the second reason, it is the fundamental reason why Arufa mobilized almost all the elite troops on the border to go south - the Paz Empire not only transferred the commander of the southern border, the famous general Arantlan, but even transferred nearly half of the troops. Arufa didn't understand why Paz did this, but at least he could safely move his troops south.
With Arufa's army of 70,000, Dikar II finally put his hanging heart in his stomach. Unfortunately, he rejoiced too soon, because there was even greater bad news waiting for him, and that was the battle of Nag-Ma'an.
