Chapter 118: Three Thousand Sharp Armor
Two days later, at noon, Higg arrived at Bobohua City with Thomas, Pantony, Blue Fairy, Butterfly Caiyun and Johnson, accompanied by a dozen veterans and elven archers, and a hundred carts of knights' equipment, and walked towards the Chinese army camp.
"Angela, the chief magician under the command of the Commander of the Khabaisa of the Kuba Fortress, meets the Marshal!" Through Habaisa's recommendation, Hig met with Field Marshal Montgossard, the commander of the Fifth Legion.
"Chief Mage?" Montgosa laughed, "What are your intentions in trying to meet Ben Shuai through Habaisa? ”
Higg smiled and said, "In addition to sending good news and three thousand sets of knightly equipment to Lord Marshal, I was appointed by Lord Habaiza to come and listen to the dispatch of Lord Marshal!" ”
Montgosa laughed: "Don't you know the importance of the Gran Fortress, Habaisa, there is a greater need for manpower!" If the Gran Fortress is lost, Ben Shuai's Chinese army will be attacked on its back! ”
Higg smiled: "Since Lord Marshal knows that the Gran Fortress is so important, why don't you send reinforcements?" Lord Habaiza is absolutely sure that he will hold the Gran Fortress, Lord Marshal, rest assured! But from today onwards, Lord Habaiza can still hold on for ten days, and I hope that Lord Marshal will fight for these ten days! ”
Meng Gosa said angrily: "In ten days, how can you ask Ben Shuai to eat these 200,000 rebels!" ”
Higg smiled: "Hahaha, Lord Marshal should think more about how to spend this spring after the annihilation of these 200,000 troops, right?" ”
Montgosa was startled, looked at Higg again, and then asked with a smile, "Do you know my plan?" What can you do to solve the problem of the victims of the war? ”
"Lord Marshal has had a plan for a long time, hasn't he?" Higg smiled: "Ma Potter in the fourth war zone of Arad didn't take us seriously at all, abandoned his defense area, rushed to the south for thousands of miles, left a large amount of supplies in the rear, and the troops were empty, Lord Marshal, how could you let go of this big fat meat?" ”
Montgoser said: "Even if Ben Shuai can rob Ma Pote's defense materials, how can Ben Shuai transport them back? With no roads, and if the troops of Mabot and the First Legion come back to help, we may only have the fate of escaping, so how can we have time to carry supplies? ”
Higg smiled: "That's why I came to Lord Marshal!" Marshal, there is no need for us to bring back those supplies, just drive the refugees and the army over, equip the army on the spot with the materials we have grabbed, and distribute a part of the food to the refugees, won't it be solved? Hahaha! ”
Montgosa wondered, "If this is the case, the military and civilians are mixed, and Arad's army comes to help, isn't it more dangerous for us, and piggyback on so many refugees in a desperate situation?" ”
Higg smiled and said: "Lord Marshal, why should your army be with the refugees, after supplying on the spot, directly send 200,000 troops into the hinterland of Arad, go straight to his capital, and loot with swagger, their reinforcements can only be led by the nose, how can you have time to care about those disaster victims?" Don't you think it's funny that we only went around in a big circle, solved the problem of the victims, solved the supply of the army, and relieved the siege of the Second Army by the way, and at the same time pinned down Arad's army? ”
Montgosa laughed: "Isn't it too dangerous for 200,000 troops to penetrate into the hinterland of Arad? ”
Higg laughed, "Dangerous, but worth it!" After the Fifth Army put down the rebellion, the morale of the generals was high, and if they went around the royal palace of Arad again, hehe, it would be immeasurable for the arrogance of Arad and the morale of King Qin's troops! Lord Marshal, when the time comes, who will dare to underestimate the Fifth Legion, and who will dare to give the Fifth Legion a face? 200,000 troops, even if you lose half of them, it's worth it! ”
Montgosa's face changed, and he said angrily, "Angela, who are you?" Why help Ben Shuai deal with the barbarian country, against Arad? What are your intentions? ”
Higg smiled, and said: "The marshal and I have a common enemy, a common goal, and for the honor of the Fifth Legion!" Others say that Montgossaa is Marshal Cotton, hehe, I never thought so, who would dare to underestimate our Marshal in the encirclement of Arad, the Barbarians and the rebels for many years! With that, Higg handed Montgosa the battle order.
Higg continued: "In the lower revival city, the lord of the city, Higg, also has a great relationship with the Fifth Legion, and now, both Fuxing City and the Fifth Legion are in trouble, and I have to come to ask for the cooperation of Lord Marshal. ”
Meng Gosa took the warrior order, looked surprised, and said: "Your so-called cooperation is to ask the 200,000 troops of Ben Shuai to go to Wei to rescue Zhao?" But will 200,000 troops be enough to get the attention of Arad, in case they are bent on destroying your Fuxing City and the Kolenwa Ministry? ”
Higg smiled: "Of course 200,000 troops are not enough, but the identity of the only son of Warrior Order and Marshal Michael, Arad will be interested!" ”
"You? You are the only son of Field Marshal Michael, Higg! Montgosa was shocked, looked at Higg for a long time, then nodded, and sighed: "I originally thought that your identity would not be too simple, but I didn't expect it to be the son of the old man, and it is really a tiger father without a dog!" ”
Higg smiled: "Since I am cooperating with Lord Marshal, of course I can't hide my identity, otherwise it will be too insincere!" How about it, Marshal, I have already given it to Marshal Gran Fortress, does Marshal still doubt the sincerity of my cooperation? ”
"Good, young man!" Meng Gosa said with a smile, "Since you have brought 3,000 knights' equipment, this commander will give you 3,000 light cavalry as the vanguard of the 200,000 troops that have penetrated into the hinterland, now, let's eat these 200,000 rebels first!" ”
……
On the walls of the Gran Fortress, Habaisa was covered in blood and commanded his men, once again repelling the enemy's attack, which had been the enemy's attack for eight consecutive days, and the other side had dropped 30,000 corpses, and he himself had more than 8,000 killed, and more than 6,000 were seriously wounded, and those who could fight were half of the troops. According to the plan, he had to hold out for four more days, and if the enemy continued to attack like this, Habaisa was not sure if he could hold out, and everyone was too tired.
Both Hig and Habaisa ignored a serious problem, even if the Second Legion of the Barbarian Nation was not for the sake of Arad, not for the purpose of destroying Montgosa's Fifth Legion, and it would never tolerate Alasia taking away his own Gran Fortress, which was the reason for the fierce attack of the other side, Habaisa felt that he had fallen for Higg, and immediately convened a meeting of officers, including Andrew and Walker.
All the people were solemn, although this tragic confrontation relied on their own geographical advantages and suffered fewer casualties, the other side still had more than 100,000 troops to use, and it was difficult to hold out for four more days no matter what. Walker was even more depressed, such a result, even if he recaptured the Gran Fortress, what was the point, there were too many dead people in the Second Legion, it was better not to surrender at that time and resist directly.
Walker finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said angrily: "Where is Angela, I want to see him, that's not what I said at the beginning!" ”
All of them ignored Walker, the captured commander, and no one at the officers' meeting would look at him.
Walker shouted even more angrily, "Are you going to die more, for what?" The purpose of my Second Legion is no longer for Arad, but for the recapture of the fortress, don't you see? And your purpose is not to let these 100,000 troops enter the Ural Grand Canyon, right? Why fight in Gran Fortress? For the sake of Arad that bastard? ”
Andrew said, "Captain Walker, what do you think?" Do you want us to give up the fortress? ”
Walker said, "Can you hand it over in four days?" That's the point, if the fortress is returned in four days, why are we still fighting here for nothing? ”
Habaisa laughed, "According to the agreement, in four days we will be armed to retake the fortress by your men, aren't we?" There is no need for us to go too deep into the war with your barbarian nation, it is not in the interests of both of us right now! However, the four days have not yet arrived, and of course we cannot hand over the fortress! ”
Walker said angrily, "What armed forces to retake the fortress? It's that I can't manage so much now, I'm willing to negotiate from the other side, a truce for four days, and after four days, the army from outside will take over the fortress! ”
Habaisa asked, "But in that case, Lord Walker, your life is not in danger, and if you lose the fortress, you will be court-martialed!" ”
Walker said categorically: "If I can exchange my life for more lives, in exchange for a temporary peace between the two sides, I will die without regrets!" ”
Andrew said: "Even if Lord Walker sacrifices his life for righteousness, why do your people believe that we will return to the fortress in four days, instead of delaying the army and waiting for reinforcements? ”
This sentence stopped everyone from asking, yes, why should the fortress that was so hard won be given away? After sacrificing so many people to defend the fortress for so many days, you have to give it to others, not to mention that you don't believe it, and you don't even believe the enemy.
Seeing that no one spoke, Andrew continued, "Since Lord Walker is willing to sacrifice himself, then I will go with Lord Walker!" ”
"No way!" Habaisa hurriedly said, "Andrew, although I am a snobbish person, you are my friend after all, not my subordinate, there is no need to do this for me!" ”
Andrew said, "Lord Commander, I'm not for you, I'm for the Fifth Legion!" To show our sincerity in negotiations, please release some of the prisoners of the original fortress under the Commander-in-Chief! What do you think, Lord Walker? ”
Walker immediately saluted Andrew and said, "Mr. Andrew understands the righteousness, in order to show his sincerity, please release three thousand prisoners first, how about it?" ”
With a bang, Habaisa slapped the table and said fiercely: "I will release five thousand prisoners, if there is anything wrong with Mr. Andrew's personal safety, I will kill all the remaining prisoners, and then defend the fortress of Gran, and wait until Marshal Montgosa has quelled the rebellion, our fifth legion would rather not participate in the civil war in Aracia, but also face north through the fortress of Gran, and the whole army will be killed in the territory of your barbarian country!" ”
