Chapter 117: Marshal Cotton

More than 300 kilometers south of the fortress of Kuba, it was the base camp of the Fifth Army and the capital of Orlando Province, Bobohua. The entire Orlando province, where the Fifth Army is located, has experienced six years of civil strife and war, and the people are struggling to survive, and the Fifth Army's combat effectiveness has been severely damaged.

The 400,000 troops under Montgossa's control were in the vicinity of Bobohua City, without any imperial supplies, and only relied on the taxes of the already poor Orlando Province, with outdated and backward equipment, a serious shortage of military supplies, and low morale. The other 200,000 rebels, led by the rebel generals Schneider and Lusac, were entrenched in an area more than 100 kilometers south of the city of Bobohua, and with the support of Arad, they confronted each other's 400,000 troops and attacked each other, and they were evenly matched.

Now, Arad colluded with the Barbarian Second Army to try to drive the 300,000 Barbarian army into the Ural Grand Canyon, and the troops approached the Kuba fortress, forming a north-south flank attack with the more than 200,000 rebels in the south against Montgosser's 400,000 tired army, with the aim of forcing Montgossar to surrender.

Arad announced his cooperation with the barbarians in advance, which made Montgosa's army even more terrified.

"Don't let the fox of Arad be deceived!" At the Supreme Military Council, Montgosa said angrily, "The barbarian nation is now in even greater trouble than we are, they are losing the war with the Cyclops tribe, where are the 300,000 troops going south?" Hehe, Arad deliberately let out his mouth, just to mess with our army's heart! ”

"Lord Marshal, according to the reconnaissance intelligence, the Second Army of the Barbarian State has indeed sent 300,000 troops, and it will soon be stationed in the Ural Grand Canyon, this is a fact!"

Montgosa laughed and said, "Hahaha, General Loplin, their 300,000 troops seem to me to be a joke!" Ben Shuai received a report from Deputy Commander Habaiza last night, the Kuba Fortress Trundo was assassinated by the Barbarian Assassins, Habaisa in retaliation, reported to Ben Shuai that he was going to seize the other party's Gran Fortress, and made a detailed plan, it is estimated that now, the Gran Fortress is already in our hands! ”

"Hmph, just with 30,000 Habaisa, you can take the other party's fortress? Marshal, are you cheating on children? ”

Montgosalem said with a smile: "General Yanasso, the current 200,000 rebels are estimated to be on the way to Bobohua, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you if you don't take the Gran Fortress!" Montgosa smiled and said angrily: "Come on, take down the two generals, Luo Fulin and Yanasso!" ”

Yanasso and Luo Fulin were shocked: "Marshal, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Good people don't do it, they have to be lackeys, hum!" Meng Gosa said angrily, "Hold it up first, and keep the sacrificial flag on the day when the commander sent troops to quell the rebellion!" ”

All the generals present looked at each other, not knowing what the hell their marshal had gone crazy today.

Montgoser said: "Ben Shuai knows that there are still many of you who are swaying, whether to continue to follow Ben Shuai, or to take refuge in Arad, you have all weighed in your own hearts!" However, since he took over the battle flag of the Fifth Army, although he cannot make the Legion meritorious and invincible like Marshal Michael, he will definitely not be a lackey of the rebels......"

"Marshal!" The messenger came in and reported, "Report from the commander of Habaiza! ”

Montgosa grabbed it, but there was also a token in the battle report, which fell to the ground with a snap. The Herald was about to pick up the token, but was caught by a surprised Montgosser.

Montgosa didn't read the battle report, but handed it back directly to the messenger, and said with a smile: "Read the battle report in front of the generals!" ”

The messenger picked up the battle report and read it aloud: "In the early hours of this morning, 2,000 dead soldiers of the Kuba Fortress attacked the Gran Fortress through the secret passage, killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured the fortress commander Walker alive, and opened the gate of the fortress. Commander Habaisa personally led his army into the fortress through the main gate and captured the remaining 20,000 men and horses of the fortress......"

Meng Geza laughed, then his face sank, and he held up the military token of the Grand Fortress in his hand and said: "This news is only known to everyone here, you are all carefully selected by Ben Shuai, who have followed Ben Shuai for many years, trustworthy generals, Ben Shuai believes that you will not leak it out, otherwise, the end will be the two just now!" ”

Montgosa stood up, went to the map, and said, "Now that the 200,000 rebels in the south have not received any news, they will definitely come to attack our base camp as planned." We will plan and mobilize 100,000 troops to pretend to reinforce the Kuba fortress to the north, and then turn to the port of the Azna River, which is more than 100 kilometers southeast of the Kuba fortress, to assemble. Ben Shuai will collect ships in advance at the port of the Azna River, and 50,000 of them will go south by boat, go around the back of the rebels, and attack the base camp of the rebels! Another 50,000 men, turning south, raided the enemy's right flank, and the two armies were stationed on the spot after the enemy's base camp converged! ”

Montgossar continued: "Generals, we have been bullied by the rebels for six years, and we have been laughed at by Arad for six years, and this time, we will take back a little interest first!" Ben Shuai will personally sit in the base camp, and your various departments will arrange an encirclement separately, and Ben Shuai will eat these 200,000 elites in one bite, and see who dares to call Ben Shuai Marshal Cotton! ”

"Marshal, 400,000 against 200,000, the defeat is almost the same, it is too difficult to annihilate them all, and our equipment supply is not as good as the other party!"

Meng Gosa smiled and said: "Hmph, without hole cards, Ben Shuai dares to say that he will eat them?" Just go according to your plan! ”

……

Unlike other fortresses, the Grand Fortress is also a checkpoint built on a mountain, with high mountain cliffs on both sides. The direction of the fortress's defense is the Ural Grand Canyon in the south, so the south side facing the Ural Gorge side is the tall city gatehouse, city wall and arrow tower, while the north facing the direction of the barbarian country is a long and narrow town, with high mountains on both sides, most of the small city is military camps, armories and empty training grounds, and there are very few civilian housing facilities.

On the morning of the third day after the capture of the Gran Fortress, all the soldiers on the city walls changed into the clothing of the Barbarian Nation, and the banner of the Barbarian Nation was still hung, and it seemed that the Gran Fortress was no different from the usual.

A vanguard of about 3,000 wolf knights came to the fortress, knocked on the door, and the gate of the fortress immediately opened, welcoming the vanguard troops into the fortress.

Strangely, the commander of the fortress did not come forward to greet him, but on the gate tower of the fortress high in the war, waiting for the arrival of the wolf cavalry vanguard, the empty and narrow fortress did not see a single person.

The vanguard of the leader, although full of doubts, did not prevent the troops from entering the city. Soon after the last wolf cavalry entered the fortress, the back door of the fortress was slowly closed, and the cliffs on both sides of the fortress, and on the front and rear walls, were lined with crossbowmen.

Corincha's longbow pierced the head of the striker with the first arrow, and the other crossbowmen and elven archers looked for a target to shoot. All of a sudden, a rain of arrows appeared above the heads of the wolf knights, shooting at them, and the fortress immediately screamed and screamed. The wolf knights scattered and looked for shelter nearby, but many of the wolf knights were about to enter the door when they were assassinated by several spears sticking out of the door, along with the wolves.

Many wolf knights also charged forward, but the crossbowmen on both sides and in front completely suppressed their movements, and the wolf knights, completely unaware of what was happening, lost their lives in fear and panic.

There was no road around, the room could not be entered, and no one accepted the surrender, so the desperate wolf knights could only bite the bullet, hoping that there were no ambush soldiers in the door they entered.

This was a one-sided massacre, the people in the fortress used the city walls and cliffs on both sides to shoot, used the houses in the fortress to ambush the spearmen and infantry, three thousand wolf riders, there was not much space to struggle, and there was no chance to stop an effective counterattack, only half an hour, not a single live mouth was left, only the corpses of the cavalry and the corpses of the wolf warriors were left all over the ground, staining the entire Grimm Fortress red.

Walker bared his teeth and pointed angrily at Higg and said, "Angela, didn't you say that you wouldn't use the fortress against the troops of our Second Legion?" You butcher, three thousand wolf riders, were slaughtered by you, and you said that you would not be treacherous! ”

Higg smiled: "Hehe, Commander Walker, if I don't give your second legion a little bit of strength, they will still come in chrysalis, and it won't be these people who will die then!" Besides, I promised not to want your equipment, not your money and food, I have to leave some interest money for myself, three thousand sets of knight equipment, just enough! ”

Hig turned to Habaisa and said, "The enemy's main force will arrive in the evening, and we will hold out for thirteen days. ”

Habaisa smiled bitterly: "30,000 against 300,000, even if it is a wheel war, it can exhaust us to death!" ”

Higg laughed: "Where did you get the 300,000, you believe in the barbarians so really?" I estimate that 100,000 to 150,000 is about the same, and their purpose this time is to put pressure on our Fifth Legion, not necessarily some elite troops, why would they die for Arad? I think it's okay to hold on for more than ten days, hahaha! ”

Habaisa smiled bitterly: "I hope things are going well on the marshal's side, and it is best to send some reinforcements!" ”

Higg smiled: "Lord Commander still think about how to defend, there is still a day to build fortifications, how to hold the fortress, the adults have more experience than me, I don't talk much!" How about I take these 3,000 sets of knight equipment? ”

"You're leaving!" Habaisa was surprised, "You don't stay and defend the city with me?" ”

Higg said: "I'll take a dozen people away, and the rest of me will stay with the adults to assist them in defense!" Lord Commander, please appoint your cronies to accompany me, the matter is urgent, and I must meet Marshal Montgossar at once!" ”

Habaisa said anxiously, "You just believe that I can hold the Gran Fortress? If you can't hold the Gran Fortress, no matter how well things go on the marshal's side, the whole game will also be affected by the defeat here! ”

Higg said: "I saw Marshal Montgosser, just to maximize the effect of the results here!" Lord Commander, you have to defend if you can defend it, and you have to defend it if you can't stand it, there is no second way for the Fifth Legion! Hehe, hold on, you are the biggest hero of the Fifth Legion, you weigh the weight of this military merit yourself! ”
