Chapter 203: Breaking Out of the Encirclement

By the time Higg, Blue Fairy, and Benjamin arrived at the Silent Forest with two thousand elven archers and five hundred battle dwarves, the Silent Forest and the Lakason Plateau had already been surrounded by the Arad coalition forces, and the Silent Forest garrisoned by Pantony and the Lakason Plateau garrisoned by Thomas had been completely isolated.

Higg didn't have time to care about Thomas on the Lakason Plateau, he had no choice, because the Silent Forest was also precarious now, and it was more dangerous and important than the cavalry maneuvers on the Lakason Plateau! The more than 200,000 troops of the Arad coalition are fiercely attacking the Silent Forest, although the Silent Forest has been operated by Higg for a long time, but after all, there is no natural danger like the Luojia River Plain, the existence of the base camp, the existence of the winery, so that Hig is reluctant to give up here, it is impossible to disperse the army to all parts of the forest for guerrilla warfare like Simak, more than 40,000 defenders here, plus tens of thousands of dwarf slaves, tens of thousands of residents from all over the country, unless the residents and dwarf slaves here are abandoned, Otherwise, the Silent Forest must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Higg...... Ah no, Lord Marshal, Madam, His Royal Highness the Prince! The exhausted Pantony seemed to have seen a savior, "You guys are finally back, and if you don't come back, I can't hold on anymore, haha!" ”

"Don't say anything!" Higg said, "The Silent Forest can't be lost, I'm going to personally organize a counterattack and break the blockade!" ”

"Alright, Higg, I'll leave it to you and my men!" Benjamin said.

Higg nodded and said, "General Benjamin, all elven archers and sharpshooters are under your command, General Pantony, all the battle dwarf armies are under your command, Ben Shuai personally leads the infantry army, and the three of us fight together!" Blue Fairy, you and Ray immediately go to the Lakason Plateau and tell Thomas, Butterfly Caiyun, and Rodman that if they can't do anything, please break out immediately and move closer to the Roga River Plain or the Silent Forest! ”

"Yes!" Everyone was given the order to answer.

"Blue Fairy, leave 50,000 Warrior Medals, and I will fully arm all the soldiers of the Silent Forest!" Higg thought for a moment, then said, "Stay safe! ”

The Silent Forest is different from the Luojia River Plain, or compared to most cities, it can only be called a stockade or tribe, there is no city wall, only a wooden fence encloses the base camp of dozens of square kilometers, and there are many arrow towers around and around the fence. When this base camp was first established, it was not that I did not think about the importance of this location, and the reason why the city wall was not built was because the base camp was established for too short a time, and the manpower and materials were relatively scarce, and most of the funds needed to buy food and military supplies.

No one thought of defending this place as a strategic location, and even in the event of an enemy attack, it was possible to burn the base camp to the ground without causing too much damage.

Now, the angry Arad coalition army is frantically attacking the base camp of the Silent Forest, and they must recover the losses suffered by the Fifth Legion in the Roga River Plain from here, otherwise, allowing Higg's Fifth Legion to become bigger and stronger will become Arrad's final trouble.

But with Higg's base camp, using Pantony's battle dwarves as defensive shields, Benjamin's marksmen and elven shooters as mobile troops to harass the enemy, and their main forces attacking at any time, the Silent Forest is still safe for the time being, because in the forest, the opponent's cavalry advantage cannot be brought into play.

Benjamin, who has rich combat experience, leads the jungle warriors to fight in the forest, and it is impossible for many enemies to take advantage, so what Higg has to do is to strictly guard the base camp and give Benjamin more opportunities to play.

……

When Blue Fairy arrived at the Lakason Plateau, Thomas and Butterfly Caiyun were already in a mess!

Unlike the rabble that dealt with some bandits in the past, the people who besieged the Lakason Plateau this time were all elite cavalry! The Lakason Plateau is relatively flat and there are no fortified fortresses, so it is very difficult to defend this area, especially in the face of the elite cavalry of the nearly 100,000 Arad coalition army.

Blue Fairy looked at Thomas and Butterfly Caiyun, and then said: "It seems that Higg is not wrong, since the Lakason Plateau has no defensive significance, it is better to break out!" Thomas, how many men do you have under your command? ”

"Originally, there were nearly 20,000 cavalry, but now those who have been killed have been killed, and those who have been scattered have been scattered, and they can only gather about 12,000 people!" Thomas said dejectedly, "Rodman still has more than 10,000 infantry there, but in the face of cavalry, they have no combat effectiveness!" Madame and sister, the Lacardon Base Camp and the Silent Forest Base Camp are each other's horns, if we insist here, the base camp will be safer, we can fight for more opportunities for Uncle Marshal, at least it can relieve his pressure, if you give up easily, after the Lacardon Base Camp is lost, the enemy reinforcements will pass, then the Silent Forest Base Camp will not be more dangerous? ”

Blue Fairy said, "The Silent Forest can't deploy cavalry, so don't worry that the loss of the base camp here will have too much impact on the Silent Forest Headquarters!" On the contrary, if you can't break out of the encirclement, it will distract Higg and be even more detrimental to the defense of the Silent Forest, so my opinion is to concentrate your forces and break out! Break through to the Luojia River Plain! ”

"Break through to the Luojia River Plain?" Butterfly Caiyun asked, "But the master is in the Silent Forest, he was originally in the Luojia River Plain, we are in the Lakason Plateau, and now the master is here, but we are going to the Luojia River Plain, when can we meet with the master?" ”

"Now that the Silent Forest has been surrounded, even if you break out, will you be able to enter the Silent Forest Base Camp?" Lan Xian'er said, "Even if you barely enter, what is the role of the cavalry in the forest?" To put it mildly, if the Silent Forest base camp is also lost, the transfer of your cavalry will become a burden to the whole army! The Silent Forest Base Camp originally didn't have many supplies, so do you cavalry still have to grab rations? ”

"Madam and sister, since this is the case, I won't break through in any direction!" Thomas said categorically, "When Uncle Marshal and General Simak led the 200,000 troops of the Fifth Army to go deep into the enemy's hinterland and deal with the enemy for a year, why can't I learn from Uncle Marshal, I also led this army to the enemy camp to break through, not only to break the enemy's plan and deployment, but also to support the war with war." I really can't hold on anymore, let's go back to the Luojia River Plain! ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "This time is different from the past, do you know what the price of you doing this is?" Higg dared to do this because the enemy was defenseless, and now that the enemy is familiar with our set of tactics, he must be on guard against the army that intrudes into their hinterland! You will have to fight day and night, from one encirclement to another, and you will not have any time to rest and be tired of dealing with all kinds of contingencies! ”

"Hahaha! Madame, sister, I wish there was a battle to fight every day! Thomas laughed and said, "Back then, the army of 200,000 could be mobilized freely, but now I only have more than 20,000 here, such a scale, if you can beat me, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can run!" Even if my entire army is annihilated, the enemy will have to pay a price several times higher than mine, I'm worth it! ”

"Thomas, I've got your back!" Die Caiyun added, "I will continue to follow you!" ”

"No, Butterfly Cloud!" Thomas said, "You and your lady and sister go back to Uncle Marshal, the march is too hard, I can't take you with me!" ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm going to follow you!" Butterfly Caiyun chattered.

……

"Report, General, something is wrong!" A guard barged in and said to Thomas.

"What's wrong?" Thomas asked hurriedly.

The guard continued, "General Rodman, with his men, defected? ”

"What?" Thomas angrily asked, "More than 10,000 people, all mutinied?" ”

The guard said: "The generals and soldiers who did not defect with General Rodman were killed by the mutinous soldiers!" Now the rebels have blocked the various passages, general, we are surrounded! ”

"You go down first!" Thomas said in a trance.

"Yes, General!"

……

"Madame and sister, the last general's subordinates have rebelled, and it is difficult to escape the blame!" Thomas said, "Please take charge of the overall situation, and the last general will deal with these rebels first!" ”

"General Thomas!" Lan Xian'er said unhurriedly, "The matter has come to this, don't be too anxious, otherwise it will be messed up and affect the whole army!" Originally, the infantry under Rodman did not come out of our Fifth Legion, they were all improvised by some of the original bandit volunteers, those who have milk and are mothers, I don't think it's too strange that they defected! ”

"Anyway, it's a shame for Lacardon's base camp!" Thomas said, "Uncle Marshal handed over the base camp of Lacardon to me, and seeing that the base camp is not guaranteed, and there is such a thing as a mutiny, how can you tell me to meet Uncle Marshal in the future?" ”

Lan Xian'er smiled and said, "Thomas, the rebellion of these infantry troops may not be a good thing for you!" ”

"A good thing?" Both Thomas and Butterfly have questions.

"Well, I agree with you to go deep into the enemy's hinterland to feed the war and disrupt the enemy's strategic deployment!" Lan Xian'er said, "But have you thought about it, what is the most critical condition for going deep into the enemy camp?" It's the ability to maneuver! Quickly break the enemy, quickly transfer, the way of playing is simple, and you can retreat if you can't beat it! If Rodman's infantry follows you deep into the hinterland of the enemy camp, I am still a little hesitant, now, you only have cavalry left, but it has reduced a lot of burden, you can concentrate on using the characteristics of cavalry to go around the enemy camp! Think for yourselves, isn't it the whole thing? ”

"Well, Madame's sister has a point!" Butterfly Caiyun said on the side, "Thomas, what are you still hesitating about?" Tangled with what? A manly man, can he stretch and bend, and he can't bear any setbacks? ”

Thomas raised his head sharply and said to Blue Fairy: "Okay, Mrs. Sister, without further ado, I will arrange for the army to break through tonight!" ”

Lan Xian'er smiled and said, "I'll give you 12,000 Warrior Medals, let every soldier wear them, hehe, God of War Radiance, you will get unexpected results." Butterfly Caiyun won't bring it back to the Silent Forest, let her follow you, it will help you! Also, after returning to the Silent Forest, I will let Ray help you, go deep into the heart of the enemy camp, and have Ray to provide you with intelligence support, you will be better! ”

"Sister Mrs. Xie!" Thomas saluted and said, "The last general will certainly live up to the high expectations of the marshal's uncle and his wife's sister!" ”

"Good!" Lan Xian'er said, "Remember, if you can't do anything, you still have the base camp of the Fifth Legion to go back, and you must leave a passage to the Luojia River Plain, don't take too many risks!" ”
