Chapter 1227, Fortress of Arcas

At the moment of discovering a large number of enemy troops, the Border Patrol undoubtedly dispatched the soldier with the best riding skills at the first time to rush back to the Arkas Fortress as quickly as possible to report.

Hearing the report, the faces of the three generals in charge of this border fortress all changed.

"Nearly 50,000 troops? Are you sure you read that right?! ”

"Report to the three generals, confirm that it's right!"

After getting this answer, Bai Ze, Bu Rigude and Liu Meng all felt a burst of pressure in their hearts.

In the fortress of Arcas, only 30,000 troops were hoarded, of which cavalry still accounted for a large proportion, and if the opposite side was to be overwhelmed by 50,000 troops, I am afraid that life would be difficult.

Before he had time to think about it, the entire fortress suddenly became alarmed, and at this moment, the dragoon troops of the Europa army had already appeared in the outer area of the Arcas fortress.

"Trouble, there are also quite a few cavalry on the opposite side."

At this moment, Bai Ze and Burigude's faces were not very good-looking.

Originally, although the opponent's strength was superior, the cavalry troops under their command still had the advantage of mobility, and they were completely able to rely on this to maneuver with the other side and consume their troops.

However, this tactic, on the premise that the opponent also has cavalry, is obviously difficult to work.

Not to mention that due to the previous big move of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the cavalry and war horses equipped for the major fortresses were basically drawn from their side.

In other words, the cavalry strength in the east is already much worse than before.

The number of rangers under Burigud was six thousand, while the number of light cavalry under Bai Ze was five thousand.

Against the dragoon units of the Europa army, their superiority in strength was not great.

"Pass the order, Arcas Fortress has entered a state of first-level readiness!"

At the sound of the siren, the soldiers of the Arkas fortress moved quickly.

It is worth mentioning here that knowing that he would definitely be found fault, Luo Ji had already mobilized a large number of badger and dwarf engineers in advance, and set up semi-permanent trenches outside the border fortresses in various places, and the same was obviously true outside the Arcas fortress.

Unlike those temporarily dug trenches, each wall of this trench is made of reinforced concrete, and the defensive ability exceeds those temporary trenches I don't know how many levels, not to mention the quality assurance of the dwarf clan, which can be said to be quite reassuring.

At this moment, in the trench, a large number of garrison soldiers were obviously in place, and the cannons located on the fortress batteries and the mountain guns placed behind the trenches had also been adjusted to the angle and could fire at any time.

In the distance, the dragoon units of the Europa army did not approach easily, apparently waiting for the arrival of the main army in the rear.

Under this premise, before this war completely starts, Bai Ze and Burigude undoubtedly need to break away in advance.

When Luo Ji was placing the Arkas Fortress, it can be said that he was very particular about the location where it was located, almost stuck at an important pass in the east, which can be said to be the only way to enter the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and a long barbed wire fence was pulled up around it.

And if you want to bypass this pass, it is estimated that you will have to bypass it for a month or two, and then you will soon find out that there is also a sentry camp of the Ten Thousand Realms Civilization over there, yes, there is more than one camp fortress on this entire border line, but the Arkas Fortress is the outermost one.

Now to get back to the point, at this time, the fortress of Arcas has long been enclosed in a semi-permanent trench, in other words, with such a trench barricade there, the cavalry troops cannot enter and exit freely at all, which can be said to be one of the shortcomings of the trench camp.

In this way, in order to avoid trapping their own people, the cavalry troops on the border have actually been stationed in another hidden camp outside.

Not long after Bai Ze and Burigud quietly left, the Europa army led by Alan Ballard officially entered the border.

The military strength formed by the 50,000-strong army can be described as quite amazing, and Liu Meng, who is standing in the Akas Fortress, is already facing a great enemy at this moment.

However, the other party did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an offensive, and should be observing the structure of their trench camp.

To be honest, at this moment, Alan Ballard's mood can be said to be even worse.

With his many years of experience in fighting in the north and south, just by looking at it, he can clearly feel the solidity of that trench.

Alan Ballard was now wondering if he could get around the trench.

However, according to his observations, I am afraid that it is no fun, and from a distance, it can be clearly found that the trench fortress is completely stuck at a pass, and that should be the only way.

Even if there are other roads, I am afraid that they will have to detour for a long time, and the time limit for their attack is only one month, and it is a question of whether they can bypass it or not.

It would be too funny if all the limited offensive time was spent on detours, and it might even become an indelible stain on his entire military life.

"Anyway, let's take a look at how many troops the other side has deployed in this trench......"

As soon as he thought of this, Alan Ballard waved his hand, and the army behind him suddenly moved.

For the 50,000 army behind him, he is obviously still relatively confident.

The horn of the attack was soon sounded, and the army began to advance.

Alan Ballard, who was still holding a telescope in his hand, could clearly see that the cannon placed on the turret of the fortress on the opposite side was already adjusting the angle of attack, and it was estimated that as soon as they entered the firing range, they would fire directly.

However, this is an unavoidable process, unless the cannon on your side has a longer range than the opposite one, otherwise, the priority of the cannon is often held by the defender.

Amid the roar, the cannons on the batteries of the Arkas fortress opened fire first.

After a long period of refinement by the Ordnance Research Department, the range has exceeded the kilometer, and the heart of Allen Ballard, who is located in the rear, is pumping.

It seems that there is no hope for the range advantage, and the range of the cannons on the opposite side is almost the same as theirs......

At the same time as quickly giving the order and signaling that their artillery was still colored, the infantry units of the Europa army, directly lined up in a phalanx, advanced towards the enemy's trench fortress.

The flames of war were ignited in an instant, and in the rain of bullets, in the face of the strong firepower suppression of the Europa army, the disadvantage of the Arcas Fortress can be said to be exposed in a short period of time.

This is a fact that cannot be concealed at all, and Alan Barard, who realized this, was overjoyed, and even he did not expect that his own military advantage would be so great!

According to this momentum, in this battle, he only needs to rely on the superiority of troops to push strongly.
