Originally he thought that Palci would mobilize troops to launch a counteroffensive in a very short time, and his plan was to take advantage of the time difference between the arrival of reinforcements and take various breakthrough strategies. www.biquge.info Of course, Zelda doesn't have much hope for the mobility of her troops, she just wants to prolong the time for defeat as much as possible.

However, the reaction of the Palci army was surprisingly slow, and there was almost no organized military resistance except for the small force led by Jimda. This gave Zelda a sense of fear that preceded the calm of the storm.

In fact, there are two main reasons why the Palchi army did not take immediate action, the first is that after contact, the actual strength of the opponent's forces has been grasped, although a large area of land in the Nera Delta valley is occupied by the Arubania Yaki coalition army, but the other side has no extra troops to garrison, otherwise the strength will be less and less. Moreover, the main actions of the coalition forces were still concentrated on both sides of the Naura River, relying on the support of their fleets, so the communication between the southern part of Palchi and the fortress of Meolan and the fortress of Tours was not cut off, and there was no real threat militarily.

Another reason is entirely political, and that is to wait for the Queen's return.

Almost at the same time that Zelda landed, Li Tianhao, who was completely unaware of the situation, also decided to lead the Second Fleet out of the Narrow Sea and begin to attack the eastern coastline of Arubania.

Originally, Queen Alfrette and Princess Patula wanted to continue to follow Li Tianhao on the expedition, but this time Li Tianhao's attitude of refusal was very resolute - the Sindra Sea and the Narrow Sea are not the same concept at all, once they leave the Jinting stronghold and go east, it will be the real turbulent sea world. No one dared to pat their chests there and say that it was absolutely safe on the ship, so Li Tianhao insisted on sending his wife and daughter to Port Pucimo and handed them over to Governor Alina before Yang Fan attacked.

Therefore, Queen Alfret planned to take this opportunity to patrol her territory. Follow Essrath all the way west to the city of Hycombe, from where you will take a boat down the Nanro River to Balmer, Napertys, Epsmilton, Epsommiton, Aftans, Aswanda, Durbans and finally Ashtidon.

The news of Yaqui's arrival disrupted Her Majesty's itinerary. When Wei Song learned of this, he felt that the queen personally supervised the battle and defeated the enemy invasion, especially if Princess Patura, the incarnation of Horus, was in the army, which obviously could establish a very important confidence in the hearts of the people, so at his urging, Queen Alfrit had to cut back all her itinerary and rush all the way north. Even so, the counterattack of the Palci army was delayed for more than twenty days in full preparation.

Now that there is enough time to prepare, Palci's counterattack is certainly well worth it.

The first to act was Mueller, located near the fortress of Mayolan, and his five thousand cavalry. These elite Palchi troops were so proud that they caught Zelda by surprise with a high-speed maneuver that exceeded common sense, and it took them only two days to reach the banks of the Nara, and they attacked the 4,000 Arubanian troops on the east bank of the Namra River with lightning speed.

Even the most elite cavalry units in Arubania could hardly withstand the assault of Mueller's cavalry, let alone these second-rate troops at the moment. In the face of Müller's attack, the Arubanian army was completely routed without even forming a decent defensive formation. Cornered, the Arubanian army also tried to flee to the fleet on the Namra River, but Müller was not obliged to let them succeed. Under the pursuit of Mueller, all the 4,000 Arubanian soldiers were killed on the land on the east bank, except for those who fell into the Namra River to make fish food.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Song set out from Memphis City with 50,000 reservists, along with more than 4,000 men of Jimda, and advanced along the west bank of the Namra River, launching a fierce attack on the enemy forces along the way. At the same time, 15,000 elite troops led by Hector also made a detour from the fortress of Tours to the port of Maranster, and then penetrated directly into the east bank of the Namra River, forming a north-south flank posture with Müller's cavalry against the enemy forces on the east bank.

In the face of this flood of attacks, not to mention the landing of only 20,000 combined forces of Arubania and Yaqui, even the elite troops of the same number as the Palchi army would find it difficult to cope.

The Arubanian army, which had been stretched too long, was too busy plundering to form a joint force, and as a result, it became an appetizer to be eaten under the sudden attack of Palci; The legions of nobles maintained a high will to fight, but unfortunately their combat skills were not on the same level at all, and they were just a herd of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the sabers and spears of the Palci army. The only commendable thing about the noble legions is that very few of them surrendered, and almost all of them died on the battlefield, although this is also the reason why they did not know how to evacuate safely in front of the enemy.

Only Zelda's direct forces remained calm in the face of the enemy, and they began to retreat in an orderly manner, covering each other in an orderly manner, and after suffering only minimal casualties, they all retreated to the ships and fled all the way north.

The biggest contributor to this successful retreat was Zelda. Knowing that he would be defeated, he prepared for his retreat so well that he lacked water power (the Tatar fleet had burned all of them before they prevented the Arubanian fleet from invading the Nara) and could only look at the river and sigh as Zelda escaped.

But the matter did not end there, because when the Arubanian fleet retreated to the mouth of the Nara, it was shocked that the First Fleet of Palci, which had been cowering in the port of Arizenda, actually took the initiative to attack, trying to block the mouth of the sea and annihilate the Arubanian fleet!

The Tatars who remained in the port of Arisianda kept the entire harbor impregnable, because Zelda, who lacked troops, had no intention of storming the fortress-like port. However, Tatar was not willing to just keep the port, and after consulting with the commander of the First Fleet, the originally pirate-turned-Gymilier, he decided to send a fleet to intercept the enemy when the enemy was ready to retreat, so as to attack the Diqier Sea Fleet in Arubania as much as possible, and accumulate capital for Palci to gain an advantage in the sea.

Fortunately, the Arubanian fleet had a considerable number of ships at the mouth of the sea, and the formation of the First Fleet of Palci had not yet been completed, so the two sides engaged in a fierce battle at the mouth of the Nara, while the inferior Arubanian fleet could only hold on and wait for the arrival of friendly forces.

The arrival of Zelda's defeated troops brought a turnaround to the battlefield situation, and the Arubanian fleet had a numerical advantage after receiving reinforcements. (To be continued.) )
