As the siege force advanced into the open area, Palci's army was divided into two groups, one led by Senas and Eglius, and the other led by Li Tianhao and Aram, to attack the Arubanian army from the east and west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the large scope of the Anmen fortress, Li Tianhao decided to take advantage of this to take advantage of the relatively scattered defenders as much as possible to break them as soon as possible, so as to make up for his weakness of lacking the necessary siege equipment. Moreover, Li Tianhao must also seize the granary of Arubania as quickly as possible before the defenders realize that they are short of food and grass in their long-range attack, which is undoubtedly the easiest to succeed when the Arubanian army is stunned at the beginning.

The Palci army acted quickly and effectively, and they adopted a strategy of detouring or feintging against the stronger points of the Arubanian army, and used their main forces to search for granaries and storm weak points.

Because of the actions of the Palchi army, the defender General Myrtis was overwhelmed, and he was very confused about the surprise attack of the enemy army without knowing it before, and the opponent's action was so rapid, and his own defeat and retreat made his order invalid before it was carried out, and as a result, the troops caused confusion in the process of mobilization and execution, and were beaten by the Palchi army. It was not easy for Myrtis to figure out the number of troops and the actual movements of the other party, and at this time he really fully grasped the situation inside and outside the fortress, but this was already a matter of three days later.

Myrtis was not incompetent, especially the fortress he had ruled for many years, and once he had enough information, with his experience and judgment, he immediately sensed the true intentions of the Palci army.

"Immediately allocate a thousand, nay, fifteen hundred men to protect the granary! That's the real goal of the enemy! Myrtis immediately ordered.

Unfortunately, not long after the herald left, the bad news had already arrived - the Palci army had already attacked the granary, and the troops guarding the granary asked for reinforcements!

Myrtis felt his head dizzy as his opponent walked ahead of him. In this case, even if the 1,500 men went, they would not be of much use, and in terms of the current degree of control of the enemy's forces, the number of troops of the Palchi army was comparable to that of itself, but it had an advantage in the overall situation. A considerable part of his troops have been divided by the other side and have lost contact, and it is difficult to form a joint force to launch a counterattack against the enemy's army, and the troops he can really control at hand are less than 4,000, so the survival of these 1,500 men almost determines the outcome of the future battle. At this moment, Myrtis had no choice but to cancel the previous order, withdraw the 1,500 men, and concentrate his forces to retreat to the main fortress. With the walls of the main fortress, the reserves and these 4,000 men, the enemy army of about 10,000 may not be able to defeat it even in two or three months.

In doing so, Martis was abandoning the six thousand other allies who were still fighting, which was cruel but correct. Because if he chooses to rescue those friendly forces, then he will be in the hands of the Palci army, and they can obstruct, divide, and surround these troops as much as they want, and then eat them bite by bite. Doing so would not have any real results other than the cost of more troops, but it would have the potential to weaken the main fort and be taken by the Palci army. As long as the main fort does not fall and the banner of Arubania does not fall, then there will be hope for the other divided and encircled troops, and when the reinforcements arrive, they can fight back out of the city to destroy the Palchi army.

Rightly to be right, under the orders of Myrtis, the Arubanian army relinquished control of a considerable part of the fortress, while the Palchi army accepted this part of the fortress without bloodshed. By the end of the night, all parts of the Anmen fortress had fallen into the hands of the Palcian army, except for the main fortress and six fortified strongholds, which were still in the hands of the Arubanian army. In the fierce fighting of this day, about 2,000 of the Arubanian army were killed and more than 1,000 were taken prisoner, while nearly 800 of the Palchi army were killed.

Li Tianhao immediately ordered Senas to be responsible for clearing the remnants of the enemy in those six strongholds, and he was responsible for the attack on the main fort, and at the same time sent a message to Elda at sea to inform him of the current battle situation.

Although the first wave of raids was a great success, and the enemy granaries were captured as expected, and the Palci army was fed enough food for a year, the situation was still precarious. With only 10,000 infantry penetrating deep into Arubania territory, this situation is very similar to the previous attack on Baroud Fortress, and if the Arubanian army counterattacks in a big way, the defeat of Baroud Fortress will be repeated, and this time the situation will be even worse than the last time, because Parci's superior navy will not be able to withdraw friendly troops from the sea in time. More importantly, Li Tianhao is not only to seize this fortress this time, but to defend this fortress, so as to drive a nail in the back of Arubania. From the perspective of today's offensive and defensive battles, the enemy defenders will retreat to the main fort, which has to be said to be a fly in the ointment failure. If the main fort could not be taken down, then the Anmen fortress could not be said to be completely under the control of Palci, and once the reinforcements from Arubania arrived, the Palchi army would be in a dilemma both internally and externally, and according to Saudin's estimates, the first reinforcements would arrive in a month and a half at most. If the Palci army had not been able to take the main fort by then, the situation would have become tricky, and the Palci army, which lacked siege equipment, was obviously not completely sure.

Li Tianhao discussed with the three main generals and Saudin how to carry out the next action that night, and Alam spoke first: "This matter is the simplest, let the Third Fleet send us siege equipment, although the defense of the main fortress is strong, it is not impregnable." ”

"We don't have that much time, and it will take at least a month for the Third Fleet to arrive, and that's not counting the time to report and prepare facilities." Li Tianhao shook his head and said.

Alam scratched his head and said: "In the final analysis, you still have to blame the boss, you are not good, the plan to attack the Anmen fortress was made by you temporarily, and the rear has not made corresponding preparations at all." Otherwise, we'll burn down the main fort. ”

Regarding Alam's unconstructive words, Li Tianhao did not want to refute them. Compared with his ability when he fought, Li Tianhao had no extravagant expectations for his planning ability.

Eglius also frowned, "There is no wood around here that can be used to make siege equipment, and it takes time to make it. ”

"Maybe we can pay a lot of money to buy some siege equipment from Bandar Abbas in Paz, but it will take about ten days, and it will be extremely smooth." ”

Only Saudin kept laughing and silent, and Li Tianhao hurriedly said when he saw this: "Isn't there a good plan for sir?" ”

Saudin smiled slightly, and said: "Although I am not ten percent sure of it, there is a plan to try, if it is successful, the main fortress will be broken in ten days." (To be continued.) )
