Chapter 160: Luo Jia Plain

The soldiers were swift, and early the next morning, Corincha, Blue Fairy, and Daniel led a vanguard of 30,000 to the mountains to the east. Although the terrain is still complicated, these elites who have been tested by the Nisawa Mountains are much easier on the lower and lower altitudes.

At a distance of more than 30 kilometers, in the evening, an army of 30,000 men reached the city of Telem. The soldiers and civilians of Talham were unprepared for this sudden arrival and surrendered after a little resistance. Corincha did not embarrass the city lord and the army and civilians, but a thousand carts of military rations and 20,000 sets of winter clothes, this is the result of the discussion between Corincha and Lan Xian'er, they know that for a city with only more than 100,000 people, preparing food and making winter clothes in a short period of time is also the limit.

But Corincha, Blue Fairy, and Daniel were not satisfied with being stationed in Talham City, and the 30,000-strong army only rested in Talham City for three days before they began to march towards the hinterland of the Luojia River Plain!

The Luojia River originates in the Gran Mountains, and the Luojia River Plain is only in the upper reaches of the Luojia River, the entire Luojia River Plain is a large basin, and the Luojia River flowing through the plain has to cross the Jiamino River Valley when it leads to the downstream, and after gathering several large tributaries, it meanders to the southeast, which is the largest river in Alasia.

Agriculture is very developed in the entire Luojia River Basin, especially the Luojia River Plain, the whole northern part of Alasia is relatively dry and cold, but the Luojia River Plain in the basin has become an exception. In the lower reaches of the Luojia River Basin, after the many tributaries merge into it, because of the numerous lakes and swamps, the floods, and the living and farming conditions are not as good as those in the upper reaches, so it is impossible to be as developed and rich as the upper plains. Therefore, the title of the Luojia River Plain was seized by the upstream basin.

The Roga River Plain originally belonged to the direct jurisdiction of Queen Catherine, and did not belong to the jurisdiction of any legion, and belonged to a part of Magaland Province, but Magaland Province included all of the Rodja River Plain and part of the New Jersey Mountains, part of the Nogar Wasteland and part of the Flocho Mountains, but because of the wealth of the Roga River Plain, people generally use the Rodja River Plain instead of the title of Magaland Province. The Luojia River Plain is far away from the Guanzhong Plain, and after the Arad of the Third Army raised his troops, he also seized this place as his direct jurisdiction, and he did not belong to which war zone he belonged to. The Luojia River Plain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has the reputation of the second Guanzhong Plain, but the real war rarely burns here. It is bordered to the north by the Glen Mountains, to the west by the Niezawa Mountains and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of complex Pamela Mountains, to the south by the Frocho Mountains, where the Camino Valley is located, and to the east by the arid high-altitude Nogar Heath, which is largely uninhabited.

No one in the Lojia River Plain could have imagined that the army of the Fifth Army would pass through the devil's barrier of the Pamela Mountains and the Xinze Mountains and directly enter the Rojia River Plain, while most of Arad's direct army was stationed in the two fortresses of Flo Hill and defended to the south.

Corincha, Blue Fairy, and Daniel led the army and continued to advance eastward, leaving the enemy's local army without time to react, and continued to force down the city of Aboquera, sixty kilometers southeast of Talem, the second largest city in the Roga Plain. The army, which had also entered the city of Trem for three days to recuperate, also expanded north and east to all parts of the Loga River Plain, like a fierce wolf entering a flock, and advanced towards the rich Rodja River Plain. As long as the army is supplied, it will not be occupied, as long as it surrenders and meets the supply requirements, it is not too difficult!

Ten days later, when Higg entered the city of Abokra, Corinth had already led his army eastward, and his army was directed towards Bavaria, the largest city on the Loga River Plain.

Higg's original plan was to venture through the Nogar Heath after being resupplied in the Roga River Plain, join forces with Thomas on the Lakason Plateau, Benjamin and Pantoni in the Silent Forest, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

But now, the army that entered the Luojia River Plain is no longer under control, and the rich Luojia River Plain has made the soldiers of the Fifth Army who have been poor for decades red-eyed, saying that it is to collect materials to supply the army, but in fact it is a kind of disguised plunder. Higg also had no choice, no matter how strict the military discipline was, he couldn't stop the hungry wolf-like desire, but he still issued a strict military order: it was strictly forbidden to plunder, it was strictly forbidden to harm the surrendered soldiers and civilians, the first snow after winter must stop all actions, all officers must restrain their subordinates, and within two days after the cessation of action, they must go to the city of Abocra to hold a military meeting, otherwise military law will be involved.

"The anger of the army needs to be vented!" Higg looked at Daniel, who was worried, and said with a smile, "Envy and power!" If I only control my army and don't loot and give my soldiers anything in return, then I will eventually lose control of the entire army! I am not a savior, as long as we don't hurt the roots of the Luojia River Plain, we will have a chance to make amends! ”

"What the hell do you think, Higg?" Lan Xian'er asked worriedly, "The original plan was to Lakason Plateau, but now I see that you are a little hesitant!" ”

Higg smiled: "It's not that I'm hesitating, you see that the current soldiers are still willing to cross the no-man's land of the Nogar Wasteland?" Since Arad gave me the great gift of the Luojia River Plain, it is not appropriate for me not to accept it! ”

"In that case, why don't you plan ahead?" "Arad's coalition forces will react immediately, and you must first capture the two forts in Flocho Hill, Fortress of Ovara and Fortress of Giscor, especially Fort Ovara to the east. ”

Higg laughed: "No hurry! In fact, most of the people who went to the Loga River Plain to collect supplies were cavalry, and I had secretly sent troops to approach the fortress of Ovara, only to wait for General Kolincha to capture the city of Bavaria, and then move south. Our current army is scattered and makes the enemy look the same, so I don't think they think we'll be able to gather an army to take the fortress so quickly! ”

Daniel said angrily, "It turns out that you let your men plunder in order to confuse the enemy?" ”

Higg laughed: "Confuse a fart, I can't control those people at all, I'm just taking advantage of it!" Didn't you calculate that it would snow in ten days? How long do you think it will take for the Arad army, which is still in the mountains of Pamela, to reach the fortresses of Ovara and Giscol now that they have received the news that we have entered the plains of the Rodja River, and then assemble their troops to advance here? ”

"It takes fifteen days for the army to arrive!" "But what if they send the vanguard lightly? ”

"Hmph, don't forget! That's a temporary coalition after all! Higg laughed, "What army is willing to give up its baggage and supplies and rush in for reinforcements?" What's more, they have suffered a few dark losses, so they will come more cautiously! ”

Daniel said: "But even if Corinth captures Bavaria, it will take eight days to return here, and then two days to rest, and then it will snow heavily, and even if we reach the fortress of Ovara, it will take three days, and if the capture of the fortress is frustrated and reinforcements arrive, we will be finished!" ”

"It's a big deal, let's enter the Nogar Wasteland and continue to advance east!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Daniel, as long as you promise that it will snow heavily within ten days, you don't have to worry!" ”

"I'm so angry, you must have something to hide from me!" Daniel said angrily.

The army predatory occupation of the Luojia River Plain, like a goose plucking its feathers, made the people of the Luojia River Plain bitter but helpless. The people here had hardly experienced much fighting, because if the fortresses of Ovara and Giscol were to fall, the plains of the Rodja River would have been in the possession of the victors' army. However, most of the victors who have captured the fortress in the past are reluctant to destroy this rich area, and use it as their own logistics supply depot, so the people of the Luojia River Plain simply hate the Fifth Army's approach.

As Daniel had predicted, on the eighth day, after Corincha's army of 30,000 returned to Aboqula to recuperate, it began to fall heavily on the morning of the ninth day, and it fell for a whole day and a night, and the snow was even knee-high.

Unlike Daniel and Corincha's worries, Higg and Blue Fairy were almost cheering with excitement in the face of such a heavy snow!

"General Korincha, you're going tonight!" Higg said excitedly, "In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, I want you to divide your troops into two ways and attack Fortress Owala and Fortress Giscol!" ”

Corincha was shocked and said, "Young marshal! After nearly 200 kilometers of snow marching, you want me to arrive in a day and a night, and to attack the fortress immediately after half a night's rest? The defenders of these two fortresses have 30,000 people, even if they attack from inside the fortress, my 30,000 troops are divided into two routes, it will be difficult to capture the fortress? ”

"Don't worry, the 30,000 troops sent to the fortress earlier are also under your command!" Higg said, "Sixty thousand against sixty thousand, and it's a sneak attack!" I don't believe that the soldiers selected by these Grim Reapers, who have passed through the Pamela Mountains and the New Jersey Mountains, have attacked no less than two fortresses! Although there are many soldiers in those fortresses, there are only 10,000 regular troops who have not made fortresses, and the rest are local armies and miscellaneous armies! ”

Colin looked at Daniel, who was as confused as he was, and didn't know how to answer.

Lan Xian'er smiled, "General Higg has been ready for a long time, you come with me!" ”

Blue Fairy and Higg took Corinth and Daniel to the military warehouse in Abokra City, where Blue Fairy ordered someone to carry out what looked like a huge carriage, but the car was not equipped with wheels. Corinth and Daniel looked at each other, and watched as Blue Fairy ordered five horses wrapped in sheepskin to be led, and ordered the strongest horse to be installed at the front of the "carriage", and the other four followed in two columns behind the head horse.

"Let's go! Get in the car and take you for a spin! Higg smiled, and after speaking, he took Lan Xian'er's hand and got into the "carriage".

Confused, Corincha and Daniel followed the strange wheelless carriage to see how it came to work.

I saw that Higg drove the five horses in front of him, and with the strength of the first horse, the other horses also pulled the "carriage" with force, and the "carriage" actually started slowly, and the faster and faster the horse went, the easier the horse became, and then it was a trotting "carriage" to gallop quickly in the snow.

Lan Xian'er looked at Daniel and Corincha, who were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and said with a smile: "This is called a sled car, there is no problem for such a car to sit seven or eight people, and the speed can reach fifteen kilometers per hour!" Higg and I have calculated that at an average rate of ten kilometers per hour, the night is now fourteen hours, General Korincha, you can complete two-thirds of your march tonight! ”

"Sled?" Corincha asked in surprise, "That's what you're doing by staying in Aboqura City?" ”

"How many did you make?" Daniel also hurriedly asked.

"Five thousand!" Blue Fairy said proudly.

"Five thousand?!" Daniel was shocked, "You still say you don't rob?" Where did you get so much supplies and livestock? ”

"Daniel, there is a magic guild in Bavaria City, but I exchanged my golden wisdom stones for gold coins from there, and pulled more than a dozen carts over, and I spent four million gold coins to make and buy livestock from the city lord of Abokra, which eye did you see me looting?"

"Don't worry, young marshal!" Corincha said excitedly, "Give us these sleds, we're definitely worthy of your four million gold coins!" ”
