The forces used by Li Tianhao are not particularly large, and the total number of zero and zero is only a little more than 45,000 people, and these more than 40,000 people have been divided into three shares. www.biquge.infoTwenty men led by Gernas and his lieutenants Dara and Zaran led 20,000 men out of the Mayolan fortress to attack the city of Belcher on the Arubanian defensive line; 15,000 men led by Hector and lieutenants Chikirda, Wodd, and Zukar marched out of the fortress of Tours and attacked the city of Agoba and waited for an opportunity to attack the transportation hub of Kutila; Brooks, Tatar, and Eglius led 10,000 men on Bai'an's Third Fleet to attack the coastal cities of Sher and Wilihe from the sea, and the Second Fleet of Mishewa was sent to patrol the sea, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the Alubanian fleet.

Strategically speaking, Li Tianhao's battle line was quite open, and his troops were relatively scattered, so it was difficult to distinguish where he was focusing his offensive on such a wide front. In fact, Li Tianhao has no offensive focus at all, and even these cities are not his primary target, he has only one purpose, to push forward as much as possible, step by step and effectively encroach on the defense line set up by Adlem.

Li Tianhao gave completely different orders to the three armies, and the goal of the Northern Route Army of Gurnas was to pretend to try their best to take the city of Belcher in order to attract reinforcements from Arubania along the route, and to try to annihilate them in a field battle; For Hector's central army, they tried to capture either Kutila and Agoba, and in case they could not be captured, they did not care, as long as they cleared the surrounding strongholds; Only the Southern Route Army gave a death order to take the cities of Sher and Willy. Because the city defenses of the cities of Sher and Willy were very weak, on the contrary, their coastal defense capabilities were very outstanding, and Li Tianhao ordered that after conquering these two cities, their coastal defense facilities must be completely destroyed and made them bare cities, so that the Arubaneians could not settle down here, because they would be attacked by the Palchi army at any time.

Due to the speed of Li Tianhao's troop movement, although the Arubanian army learned of this situation and understood that the Palchi army was about to make a move, they did not expect the attack to come so quickly. Thus, within two days of the war, the Arubanian army was overwhelmed, and the various strongholds were quickly separated from each other and could not support each other. The Palchi army attacked fiercely, using heavy siege equipment to storm these unimportant strongholds, which were soon overwhelmed by heavy losses, and reports of urgency were sent to Adlem like snowflakes.

In fact, Li Tianhao's move was expected in Adlerham, but what puzzled him was that according to the intelligence, Li Tianhao had gathered at least 100,000 troops in the border area, which could be said to have gathered the most elite troops in Palchi. However, the strength of this attack is estimated to be no more than 50,000, and the attack surface is spread out so widely, it is clear that the suddenness of the attack has been achieved, but it is not fast to attack in depth, and only bury its head in clearing those less important strongholds, which is simply giving the rear town time to prepare for war, which is too unreasonable. Therefore, Adlem judged that Li Tianhao was testing himself, and he was waiting for him to send reinforcements, and then put the remaining forces to attack the area where his main force was not there.

Therefore, Adlem decided to wait and see, with Li Tianhao's current troops, it is not enough to break through the defense line he has carefully established, and the key to the problem lies in the direction of the opponent's remaining forces. As long as the important towns of Berchet, Kutila, and Agoba are not lost, there will be no danger in the defensive line. Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if all the above three important towns fall, because he still has the two second-tier towns of Ma'an and Naig to support the battle. Therefore, Adlerm didn't care about Li Tianhao's actions at all, and had only one reply to the requests for help from all over the country: stick to it.

This is a bitter pain for the Arubanian soldiers who are holding on to the front line, originally their strongholds are not particularly important, the ability to defend is also limited, and the strength is weak, in the face of the all-out attack of the Palchi army, which is superior in all aspects, even if they have the heart to resist to the end, it is impossible to support it for a long time, in less than half a month, there are more than 20 careful strongholds in various places, and four large strongholds have been conquered.

It was only at this time that Li Tianhao revealed his true purpose for the first time - he mobilized 100,000 people and a large number of means of transport from the rear for this battle, once these strongholds were conquered, the Palchi army of course continued to advance, and the people brought a large number of building materials from the rear to re-strengthen these strongholds, so that they became the strongholds of the Palchi army, and then the grain, grass and baggage were transported by the army and directly stationed inside, and these people also dredged and widened the road to the territory of Palchi by the way when they retreated.

Only then did Adlem realize that he had been fooled - Li Tianhao clearly wanted to eat his own defense line one by one. Adlem thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect Li Tianhao to use the stupidest of all methods, which was originally a good commander's best to avoid. With such a turtle-like speed of advancement, Adlerm could rebuild a new front before the Palchi army could capture the next front.

However, Li Tianhao's approach was also quite thorough, he directly used the stronghold he set up, and dredged the road, it seems that he intends to hold it for a long time. This is clearly a posture to fight a protracted war, which can indeed effectively occupy a part of Arubania's territory, but the price to pay for each step forward is very large, and in terms of Palci's national strength, maintaining a long-term war will inevitably slow down its development, and it is obvious that this is not a long-term strategy. Adlem saw the clue at a glance, so what is Li Tianhao's purpose in doing this?

Looking at his father who was lost in thought, Arufa couldn't help but speak: "Father, why don't you send reinforcements for a long time? If we continue like this, even if the enemy does not gain anything, our losses will gradually increase. ”

Arufa's words reminded Adlem, and suddenly he understood the real purpose of Li Tianhao's doing, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really vicious, Li Tianhao, this kid." ”

"What's vicious, father?"

Adlem didn't answer his son's question immediately, he thought for a while and said to his son: "Arufa, you immediately lead 10,000 horses to set off to support the direction of Agoba!" ”

"So don't you care about the enemy forces in other directions, father?" Arufa was a little confused about his father's intentions.

Adlem shook his head and said: "Don't worry, son, the Palchi army will not have any main attack, you just need to fight steadily and block the enemy army." As long as their main force is dispatched, Father Wei will naturally lead a large army to come. ”

Arufa led the way with a puzzled look in his eyes. Adrim then took up the pen and wrote a secret letter to King Dicar, who had to be vaccinated even if he was dissatisfied with him: he did not deliberately lose his country, but only to attract the enemy army before starting a counteroffensive.
