The Arubanian army is about to attack from the sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Jimda, who received this information, almost jumped out of his chair, because this information was sent five days ago, which means that the Arubanian fleet is already close at hand, and may even be off the coast of Palchi if the wind is right!

Jimda, who was sent to stay behind, was not in a good mood all the time.

Jimda has always been a brave general type who rushes to the front line, and it is really not commensurate with his character to let him do defensive work, but at present, the war between Palchi and Arubania is in a delicate state, and a master like Jimda who likes to fight hard is easy to turn a fake attack into a real attack, which will obviously cause more casualties to the Palchi army, which is what Palch hopes to avoid at present. Therefore, it is only natural that Jimda is placed in the opposite rear.

As a general, Jimda is definitely not among the first-class generals in Palci. It's not that Jimda himself is not good enough, in fact, his bravery, tenacity and combat ability are not inferior to Yaqui's excellent generals, but because the excellent generals of Palch are too good, Jimda's light is naturally much dimmer in front of them, so that they are ignored.

But Jimda was a man of inactivity, and despite his impatience and impulsiveness, the heavens had given him an ability that should not have belonged to his kind of people, and that was that he had considerable attainments in building cities. In order to pass the time, Jimda raised as much money as he could to strengthen the walls of the port of Arizentian, in the name of preventing accidents from the sea. Jimda's unintentional intervention turned out to be the result of actually attracting the Arubanian fleet, which was also a big surprise to him.

Lucky for him, the day before he received information about the enemy attack, he had just welcomed an old friend, Viscount Tatar.

Tatar was an old man whom Jim Da had known since he was a bandit in the Tiers Mountains, and the two of them were the only ones left alive and high enough to be the bandit leaders of the time. The difference is that Tatar has a stable personality and good popularity, and under the training of Wei Song and others, he has become a general who can take charge of himself, so he is also among the first-class generals in Palci, but everyone never praises Tatar so much in front of Jimda.

The arrival of the Tatar was purely accidental. Originally, he was in charge of escorting a batch of weapons and equipment and military pay to the front line on the order of Wei Song, but after unloading the goods transported by water from the Nanra River, he had just loaded them onto the transport vehicles and was ready to go, but he ran into General Zaran and the 3,000 soldiers who were responsible for protecting the goods. Tatar entrusted the matter to General Zaran, and took the time to visit his old friend Jimda.

Seeing Jimda's shocked appearance, Tatar immediately leaned over to look at the contents of the letter, and suddenly his face changed: "This is terrible. This information is coming too slowly, the Arubanian army will arrive in three days at most, how many troops do you have at hand now? ā€

"All of them are about nine thousand, but they are all scattered all over the place, and it is too late to mobilize them. I only have about 3,000 people on hand at once! Jimda replied.

"It's not easy," Tatar frowned, "In terms of the carrying capacity of Arubania's fleet, it can transport nearly 10,000 people at least once, and this does not include the civilian ships they have temporarily requisitioned, so it is conservatively estimated that their strength will reach fifteen thousand or more." It is impossible for this amount of troops to defeat our army, but it is more than enough to make trouble. ā€

"Then we can only take advantage of their unstable footing to meet them!" Jimda said as he began to gather his armor weapons.

"No, you can't do that. Not to mention that you only have 3,000 men, even if you can gather all your subordinates, it will not be useful. The enemy has ships that can maneuver to land elsewhere, but you don't have the ability to move freely on both sides of the Nara. And once you fail, there will be no armed forces left in this area to stop them. Tatar's head shook like a rattle.

"So what do you say? Do you want to let them in? Jimda said urgently.

Tatar stretched out his hand to stop Jimda and continued, "Not bad! Just let them in! ā€

"Are you crazy? Don't you know how much damage this can cause? ā€

Tatar waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, don't worry, listen to me first." First of all, it is quite difficult to stop the Arubanian army with your forces, and it is better to seek the conditions to win than to fight a battle with no chance of winning. At the moment, His Royal Highness the Prince is not here, and one of the people who can take charge is the Prime Minister, and the other is Lord Brooks. And they happen to be one in the south and the other in the east. I'm almost certain that Arubania will take the opportunity to contain reinforcements from the east in order to stop Lord Brooks' return, so Lord Weizon is the key to winning this battle. ā€

Tatar said, pacing the room with his hands behind his back: "Now there is the first fleet of Lord Congille in the port of Arizenta, plus about two thousand troops defending the city, plus the men you left there to repair the city wall, these men and your three thousand men should be enough to keep the port of Arizianta." As long as we can ensure the integrity of the First Fleet, then even if we suffer huge losses, our time for revenge will not be too far away. As for the scattered soldiers, I beg you to give an order at once, and I will put them in command, and I will have them retreat south and assemble at the same time, and in the worst case they will retreat to Memphis City, and rely on the walls there to stop the Arubanian army. It just so happened that the ships I had transported this time had not yet had time to withdraw, so let the sailors join the ships to form a water defense line to prevent the enemy fleet from attacking our hinterland against the current, and even if we could not stop it, we could burn the ships and delay their movements. The enemy's ability to move on land is limited, so I can use these gathered forces to harass them, disrupt their communications, and resupply them to buy time. It won't be long before Lord Weizon will lead his army north, and at that point you will be able to intercept and kill the Arubanian army that wants to flee back to sea. Although we will certainly suffer considerable losses in doing so, it will also strengthen the resolve of the people in this area to fight the Arubanian Army to the end, and in the long run, it will gain more than it loses. What do you think? ā€

After hearing these words, Jimda took Tatar in his arms: "I am really lucky to have a friend of yours by my side in times of crisis!" I listen to you! Let's split up! But there is one thing I must oppose, I am better at fighting guerrilla than you, and I am not as good as you in defending the city, so you go to the port of Arizianda, and I will be responsible for harassing the enemy army! ā€

Tatar nodded and smiled: "Actually, I originally thought the same way, but let you go to fight guerrillas, and I will defend the city by myself, which is a little too unfriendly." ā€

"You guy!" Jimda laughed and punched him. (To be continued.) )
