Chapter 36: Breaking Through the Line of Defense (Part 2)
The San people left the Plateau, which had lived for thousands of years, and avoided the Northern Demon Plain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Sang Nan took a team of elite cavalry to stay in the Moya Continent and gallop to the aid of Beiyan and Nolan.
Chu Ning and the remnants of Dai Wangshan's army converged together, entered the lonely and empty Ice Dragon City, rested the whole army, and at the same time sent messengers to send back military reports to the country, informing them of the specific situation of the battle between the two sides.
After months of war, the peace of the Yanbang Plateau has finally been restored, but no one knows how long this peace will last.
The day after leaving Qianmo Port, Sang Nan led his men to attack the two Federation divisions stationed in Angang at night, and then asked the Fuwei and the Destroyer Battalion to change into each other's clothes and armor, and rushed to Fenggang, thirty miles to the southwest, to repel the West Island Navy stationed there, the Fengye Division. They then sailed from Maple Harbor across the Missouri Strait, arriving at the Commonwealth Clearance Harbor on the fourth day. The port of Crane was a commercial port, with only two thousand garrisons, and they took it without much difficulty.
The inhabitants of the harbor and the merchant ships had already fled in fright, and Sannan did not send anyone to stop them, he just wanted everyone to know that the Free Federation was beginning to be invaded, and the bigger the trouble, the better.
When the Free Federation's armies crossed westward in an endless stream, they would not have imagined that they would be counterattacked by their opponents a few months later.
Li Yuanru and they found a topographic map of the Free Federation from the port garrison, and on this topographic map, the distribution of garrisons in various parts of the Federation was actually marked.
According to the indication on this map, fifty miles east of Crane Harbor is the famous Cold Steel Mine Ridge, garrisoned by the 28th Army Corps, and there is also a regiment stationed in the northeast and southeast, and the position of these three regiments is like an inverted umbrella, arching and guarding the Crane Harbor in front.
This is supposed to be the first line of defense that the Free Federation has built against the Plateau.
"Patriarch, what do we need to do next?" Sang Baiqi and the others still didn't know what Sang Nan was planning to do, so they asked with some curiosity.
"Ahem, that fifth uncle, can you not call it that next time?" This patriarch shouted awkwardly.
"This is a rule, how can you break it casually, otherwise where is the majesty of the patriarch!" Sang Baiqi said with a stiff face.
"Didn't you say that the patriarch had to listen to everything he said?" Sannan blinked.
"Of course!" Sang Baiqi said seriously.
"Then listen to me, don't call me patriarch! At least let's stop screaming in private, I sound awkward! "Sannan's eyes are bright.
"This, well!" Sang Baiqi and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and let them call a half-old child the patriarch, which was really unaccustomed.
"These three corps are distributed in the shape of an umbrella, less than a hundred miles away from each other, and they can be arrived in half a day! So if we can't solve it quickly, it's very bad for us! Sang Nan stared at the map for a long time and spoke.
"Hmmm! That's right! Sang Baiqi and the others nodded.
"So I'm going to bypass them and go straight here!" Sang Nan pointed to a place behind Leng Ganggang Mine Ridge and said lightly.
"This is, Wanlin City?" Sang Baiqi didn't understand what Sang Nan meant. The map is very detailed, and several people know the surrounding terrain well.
"That's right!" Sang Nan exposes the peculiar naughtiness of a child:
"What do you think are the characteristics of Wanlin City?"
"Features? I don't see any special features! Ah, I see, it's full of orchards! Sang Baiqi said excitedly:
"So, there's a lot of people here!" Sang Nan grinned, revealing a mouth full of small white teeth.
The cold steel mine ridge is located on the Mansey Hills, where the terrain is not very undulating, the slope is gentle, the ground is rugged, and there are continuous low hills around it, the Mansey Hills area is affected by the ocean currents of the Missouri Bay all year round, and the precipitation is abundant, so it is a very developed area of free federal agriculture.
Wanlin City is surrounded by a large number of farms planted with fruit trees, so it is also the largest fruit trading and distribution center of the Free Federation, every morning, the surrounding fruit farmers will drive the harvest in the farm to the city for trading, there are many kinds of fruits here, melons, fruits, pears and peaches, among which golden oranges, even fruits, rice fragrant pears are the most famous.
Traders from all over Moya harvest large quantities of easy-to-store fruit at low prices, which are then transshipped to various places by merchant ships from nearby ports.
Therefore, the biggest feature of Wanlin City is that there are many people, and there are merchants from all over the world.
The location of Wanlin City is very important, so the Free Federation has built the first line of defense in front of it, and the 28th Army Corps is the center of this line of defense, and among the five divisions within the legion, there are two elite divisions, and it is not easy to pass through this line of defense.
It was night, the 28th Division of the 3rd Army Corps was stationed.
The 3rd Division is an elite division, a spear division, and the division commander Gong Rulin is a seventh-level spear soldier, his spear skills come from his family, and he is also extremely brave in battle, so the station of the 3rd Division is also where the regiment stores grain and grass.
Gong Rulin has been very nervous recently, during this time, the other side of the strait is not very peaceful, and even Lord Chu Ning has suffered defeat!
A few days ago, Lord Billy came over with 200,000 reinforcements, and I don't know how the battle is going? These San people are really tenacious, the Federation has invested 700,000 troops on the Yanbang Plateau, and they have not yet taken them.
Alas! I don't know how many people have to die before there will be results.
Today I received news that in the early morning an army occupied the port of Crane and then suddenly disappeared.
The legion's garrison is only fifty miles away from Klan, will the other side take advantage of the night to sneak attack here?
Today, the corps commander also specially asked someone to send a message over, so that he must keep an eye on it these days!
According to Gong Rulin's understanding, outside the entire legion station, there are at least five hundred elite scouts distributed at this moment, and the other party only has more than 10,000 people, so it shouldn't be so easy to get it, right?
Even if they are the elite of the San clan!
Gong Ruling called several brigade commanders under him, and asked them to divide them into several shifts and take turns guarding around the granary, and Gong Rolin also made two fake granaries inside the camp, which looked no different from the real ones from the outside, to confuse the enemy's ears and eyes, in his opinion, the precautions in the camp were very well prepared.
However, Gong Rulin didn't know that behind the hill a mile away from the camp, hundreds of soldiers were gathering at this moment, these soldiers were standing in parallel rows, about 2 meters apart, and in front of each of them were placed a small trebuchet, these trebuchets were "petite", only more than two meters high, a total of fifty.
"Boss, you're all set, when will you do it?" A soldier who looked like a captain came to the general and asked in a low voice.
"Wait for Boss Zhang's signal!" The general said calmly.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden cry in the distance like a night owl.
"Is this Boss Zhang?"
"Didn't hear me, wait!"
A moment later, the night owl's cry came again, only this time there was a hint of anger in it!
"Boss Zhang is angry, do it!" (To be continued.) )
