Chapter 406: The Jedi Strikes Back
In the hilly defense line north of Fuxing City, the Fuxing City Defense Army led by Daniel has been defeated one after another, and most of the hilly defense line has been occupied by Sampu's army.
Since the initial loss of tens of thousands of horses caused by the light enemy, Sampu began to attack and burn the mountain with fire, although the mountains and forests of Fuxing City have fire isolation belts, but they cannot withstand Sampu burning one by one. After each of the burned areas, Samp sent heavy troops to rob the scorched earth with the defenders of Fuxing City. Fuxing City relied on its geographical advantages and the ubiquitous arrow towers, and the crossbow chariots fought hard to resist, but most of the troops in Fuxing City were reserves, lacking training and actual combat experience, while Sampu relied on his army to be all regular troops, and it was the elite of the third war zone, and he lost one quarantine area after another. Both sides fought for every inch of land, and both paid a heavy price for these positions.
It had been holding out for more than a month, and Daniel's army had no way to retreat, and the mountain barrier to the north had been burned bare, and there was no depth behind him. Although the loss of seventy or eighty thousand people, all the remaining soldiers have been baptized on the battlefield, eliminating some soldiers who are not suitable for the battlefield, but the strength has increased, so although only the last barrier is left, Daniel believes that as long as he sticks to it, he will be able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
On the other hand, Sampu's troops in Fuxing City are also more than 230,000, and they are on a par with Fuxing City in terms of troops, and they are all elites, so it can be said that they don't pay attention to this battle! However, with the first attack on Fuxing City, due to the light enemy rash advance, the loss of more than 40,000 people, and in the process of this Yue burning mountain to grab territory, Fuxing City fought and retreated, fierce confrontation, also lost nearly 50,000 people, now the total strength is still 140,000, the strength of the two sides is still about the same, but now there seem to be more problems in front of Samp, one is that he has a depth of several kilometers wide, if he wants not to be recaptured by Fuxing City, he has to send some troops to guard, In this way, his own forces are not as concentrated as the defenders of Fuxing City, but he has added some trouble to himself.
Sampo firmly believes that with the 100,000 defenders of Lobit City and a strong city defense, there is absolutely no problem in holding on until the Cordillo returns, and the home advantage of Elva and Cordillo plus the advantage of troops, even if they can't defeat the Fifth Army, it should not be a problem to hold on to the city and confront the Fifth Army.
However, Sampu was very annoyed, because there was no good news from the direction of Lobit City, and even in the past week, there was no news, and the griffin patrols he sent did not find any valuable information, although the return of Lobit City was still in his hands, so that he felt a little at ease, but the more than 200,000 people of Cordillo had no progress at all, which made him really worried, and he had to vent his anger on Fuxing City, as long as Fuxing City was taken, the Fifth Army would win or lose in the base camp of Lobit City, The final winner of the battle is himself.
"Marshal!" The staff officer of the Chinese army came to report, "The 30,000 cavalry of the Fifth Army is marching towards Marsilt, and now it is only 300 kilometers away from Marsilt City, and there are only 6,000 defenders in Marsilt City!" ”
"What about the others?" Sampu said, "Is there no news in the direction of Lobit City?" ”
"Lobit City is still in the hands of the outside!" The Chinese army staff officer said, "According to the information that the griffin brought back yesterday, the Fifth Army has besieged the city of Lobit, and the more than 200,000 troops of the Cordillo are missing!" Strangely, Elva of Lobit City, why didn't he report back to us? ”
"Don't speculate just yet!" Sampu said, "30,000 cavalry, without baggage and infantry, they can't take the city of Marsert, and what the commander is most worried about is that the supply line from the city of Marsilt may be destroyed by these cavalry!" ”
"But now is the critical period for attacking Fuxing City, and we don't have the ability to divide our troops!" The staff officer of the Chinese army said worriedly, "It stands to reason that Lobit City is heavily besieged by the Fifth Legion, and now is the most critical period for the Fifth Army to attack Lobit City, how can they divide their forces to attack and disturb us?" ”
"Hehe, maybe this kid is arrogant!" Sampu scoffed, "Order, attack Fuxing City with all your might, and within three days, be sure to tear open the gap!" Fuxing City is in front of him, tell all the soldiers that Fuxing City is full of gold and silver, and the commander promised that after entering the city, they will be allowed to plunder for three days, and the property obtained will be owned by individuals! ”
"Marshal, never!" The Chinese army staff officer said, "If you let the soldiers enter the city and plunder, you have to revive it."
The city was ruined, and we died so many people, is it just for a ruin? ”
"Give in and let the soldiers plunder, and you have to capture Fuxing City!" Sampu said with a smile, "Take Fuxing City, let it be plundered, or this commander has the final say!" However, if this army is not turned into a division of tigers and wolves, how can it take Fuxing City as soon as possible? Don't worry, the wicked man is handsome to do, and now he can't take care of much! What is hateful is that the sixth war zone is actually watching the fire from the other side, and if Ben Shuai takes Fuxing City, he has to ask Adams for his guilt! ”
……
"General, now that Sampu has dispatched troops, it seems that he is preparing to launch a general attack on us!" Rogson said to Daniel worriedly, "Fuxing City is now concentrating its forces on this line of defense, which seems to be impregnable, but the nearly thirty-kilometer-long defense line, the three main passages, no matter which passage is broken through, or where a gap is torn open, the enemy army will directly face Fuxing City!" ”
"What General Ben is worried about is not that the three passages will be breached, but that the enemy will use a small force to come over the mountain and sneak attack, and we can't guard against it!" Daniel said, "General Ben promised Higg to hold on for two months, and now in less than forty days, we have lost all the northern positions, we underestimated Samp, overestimated our strength, and overestimated the hill defense line!" We can't go on like this, we have to act! ”
"Does the general have a way to defeat the enemy?" Rogson asked, "For more than a month, we have been losing and retreating in order to reduce casualties, but now there is no way to retreat, behind us, is Fuxing City, unless the enemy steps over our bodies, otherwise, we will definitely not take a step back!" ”
"General Ben knows that you have complained about General Ben for more than a month, we have given up all our defensive positions in depth!" "But what if you don't?" If you defend and fight hard, you will only die more people, and the position may not be able to be kept. In the past month or so, nearly 80,000 people have been killed or wounded, and General Ben believes that those who remain have no new recruits or reserves, and are all the elite of Fuxing City. Since we are training by fighting, all the sacrifices we have paid are worth it! Now, our army has really grown, and the enemy's more than a month of victories is a time of pride, and they would never have thought that an army that is retreating one after another, with Fuxing City behind it, dares to launch a counter-charge against them! ”
"What?" Rogson, Snowlin, and Charlie were all taken aback at the same time, "The general wants to fight back?" ”
"Since it's a dead end, why don't you fight back?" Daniel said with a smile, "Announce to the whole army: our friendly army has captured Lobit City in the Third War Zone, and wiped out 280,000 people of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the Third War Zone, and Marshal Higg is leading more than 200,000 troops to march to Fuxing City, and we can arrive at the Fuxing City battlefield within three days, and attack us from the north and south, and eliminate the last military force in the Third War Zone!" ”
"General, the city lord's army has just been launched, and it will take more than ten days to reach the battlefield at the earliest!" Charlie was surprised and said, "The general wants to lie about the military situation to the whole army? ”
"General Ben is not lying!" Daniel said, "General Thomas's 30,000 cavalry vanguard will indeed appear in Samp's rear within two days, cross the Marshall River, threaten Mislet City, and then cut off the supply line from Maslet City to Misland City, even if you can't capture Maslet City, you can temporarily use cavalry to besiege the city, clear the perimeter, so that Mastilt City, Misland City can not be transported out of the city, Samp's army will inevitably be chaotic, and must also divide troops to deal with Thomas's 30,000 cavalry!" But it is easy for Sampu to enter the mountain, but it is difficult to get out of the mountain, we not only have to fight back, but also bite them to the death and prevent them from going out of the mountain! ”
"General, isn't this too risky!" Rogson said, "If Samp learns that Lobit City has been taken by us and the other armies have been wiped out by the young marshal, he will definitely insist on going his own way, give up all the territory, and attack Fuxing City with all his might, at this time we will give up defense and attack with all our might, in case Samp breaks through one of the defense lines and enters the hinterland of Fuxing City, even if we win in the end, Fuxing City is in ruins, and we are all losers!" ”
"General Rogson, don't worry!" "We don't have to attack all, the purpose of the attack is to defend!" Samp's army is now winning and we are retreating, they would never have thought that we would dare to jump out of the trenches and fight against them, so they are now in an attacking position, and the defense of the position must be weak, as long as an elite is sent deep into their hinterland and disrupt their deployment, the pressure on our defense will be reduced a lot, plus Thomas's vanguard is about to outflank their rear road, hum, they want to attack the city with all their might, and they will finish their work in one battle, we just let them even organize the army! General Rogson, the defense line of Fuxing City is up to you to take over, General Ben personally led 30,000 elites, taught Samp a lesson, and dispelled the evil spirit of the past month! ”
"How's that going to work? The general must sit in charge of the Chinese army and strategize! Snorlin smiled, "Go deep into the enemy army and make such a thing, let's give it to General Ben!" ”
"Don't fight!" Rogson said, "This battle plan, although risky, is really worth trying!" Since it was proposed by the general, presumably the general knows how to hold this line of defense, and he must be in command of the Chinese army! Leading the charge is not General Snowlin's forte, and most of what is left behind is General Snowlin's reserve, and he can't leave without permission! Leading the troops to fight back, it's up to me to share the general's worries! ”
