Soon, the Luo soldiers of the three corps, under the orders of Rick, dispersed the scattered siege troops of more than 100,000 to the direction of the main camp of the crusading army.
Seeing this, Riser was overjoyed, and did not expect that the Goethe Fortress was about to change its owner, and thought that the siege troops would take the initiative to retreat, so he hurriedly ordered the Chinese army battalion to take the defeated troops back, no matter how strong the steppe cavalry was, it was impossible to attack the Chinese army camp that was not weaker than the city wall defense.
Seeing the troops returning one after another, Resr also urgently ordered the troops of the rear army to close close to the central army, preparing to face the onslaught of the steppe Luo soldiers with the defense of a large battalion.
On the other hand, the rescue force sent by the four princes was also intercepted by the cavalry troops sent by Riser earlier at the same time, and a big battle immediately broke out between the 100,000 rescue cavalry and the five interception cavalry, because the rescue force did not know whether the Goethe fortress was fallen, so the commander of the rescue Luo soldiers was very anxious, and ordered the grinding Luo soldiers not to fight with the other cavalry. Most of the rescue cavalry was still intercepted by the cavalry on the rescue route.
The tens of thousands of rescue Luo soldiers who got rid of the interception of Luo soldiers were immediately intercepted by the 100,000 crusading infantry, and if they bypassed, they didn't know how much time they would waste.
The commander who rescued Luo Bing had no choice but to hope that the follow-up infantry of the rescue would follow up quickly and break through directly with a large force.
Fortunately, it was only an hour late, and the 300,000 infantry of the rescue army quickly followed, not only surrounding countless interceptor cavalry with the still entanglement, but also starting an offensive and defensive battle with the interceptor infantry at the same time.
Risr has been rescued and the interception force has begun a big battle. looked at the hundreds of thousands of Luo soldiers in front of him. He didn't want to be divided and annihilated. had to order to intercept the troops and fight and retreat, hoping to join forces with the Chinese army and the rear army to jointly resist the rescue army and the hundreds of thousands of cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Rick ordered Hank and Akure to repel the 120,000 soldiers who were hiding outside to repel the raiders besieging Goethe's fortress from several other directions, and quickly hand over the defenders through the back door of Goethe's fortress.
The handover to the Goethe Fortress was very smooth, because Ryser had already seen that there was little hope of breaking the Goethe Fortress, and had already ordered those soldiers to return to the Chinese camp, Rick's troops only separated tens of thousands of cavalry to drive out the besieging crusading soldiers, and the follow-up troops accepted the Goethe Fortress smoothly. And the former army also left with basic defensive weapons and rations under Rick's "generosity".
By the time the dust settled the next day and the three forces faced off in a triangle, everyone found that Goethe's fortress had changed owners, and this new owner was the Black Rock City troops who should not have appeared.
"Damn!" In the camp of the crusading army, Risr roared angrily, he never thought that such a plan was perfect, it could be said that it was a battle plan in exchange for the honor of the Ogden Golden Family. The two-day siege resulted in nearly 100,000 casualties. 20,000 soldiers died under Goethe, in exchange for making wedding clothes for others, especially since this man in the fire turned out to be the most hated Rick of Black Rock City, the hateful villain who took his fiancée!
With such an ending, Ryser was almost hysterical and crazy, but the Goethe Fortress was full of more than 100,000 troops in Black Rock City, and there were nearly three corps of steppe soldiers, and Rysler's reasonable brain told him that if he wanted to attack Goethe Fortress head-on, it was almost impossible without an absolute superiority of troops!
And there are only more than 700,000 troops left under his command that are still ready to fight, and there are already more than 50,000 soldiers who have either died under Goethe City, or died and intercepted reinforcements, and there are more than 100,000 wounded soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness, in the face of more than 400,000 available troops under Rick, it is not impossible to break through the Goethe Fortress that has re-strengthened its defenses, the casualties are absolutely amazing and heavy Originally, Ryser still planned to attack Goethe Fortress to avenge the honor and humiliation, but here are not only the crusading army and the Black Rock City troops, In addition, there are nearly 400,000 rescue troops who came to the rescue, I don't know what means Rick has done, but the direction of attack of these rescue troops is not facing Goethe Fortress, but directly rubbing with the crusading army.
Riser couldn't, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit secretly, and temporarily shrink his forces and retreat fifty miles to station, but the rescue army left earlier, and he turned back to continue the attack, at that time most of the wounded soldiers could recover their combat strength, and the attack was only a Goethe fortress with a lot of cavalry, as long as it advanced steadily, and did not give the cavalry an opportunity to take advantage of, the capture of the Goethe fortress was not impossible. Rick and the commander of the rescue force sent by the fourth prince were drinking and talking, "Count Bodry, we haven't seen each other for some years, the last time we met was when I just inherited the title, you came to watch the ceremony, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you still have a demeanor!" Rick gestured to Bodri with his old glass.
Bodri is no stranger to Rick, he is the deputy commander of the Southern Legion, and he has been stationed in the south for a long time, and he has of course met Rick, the lord of Rami County, who is close to the southern territory and is considered a southwestern neighboring county, but he is not so familiar.
"Marquis Rick, this time you took advantage of the crusading army to capture the Goethe Fortress, it seems that you are not too thick!" Looking at Rick with interest, Baudry's tone didn't seem to be as stiff as on his face, and he didn't seem too disappointed with the result of Rick's acquisition of Goethe's fortress.
"Hehe, Count Bodri laughed, this time Count Rysler was a little too stingy, and too insulting to the reputation of the nobles, saying that he was going to crusade against my Black Rock City, but he came to attack the Goethe Fortress of His Highness Wellesley halfway, and the fight was not what he said before just to crusade against me, I guess its ultimate goal and appetite are not small!" Rick flatly denied that there was anything wrong with him: "And our army is just helping to defend the Goethe fortress, and it is not a good thing to always let the soldiers of the black sky come to our fortress, you say?" ”
Bodri secretly scolded Rick in his heart for being shameless and picking off other people's fiancées, so how can people be so angry? However, the meaning of Rick's words also made Bodri's heart flutter, he didn't have much opinion on whether the Black Sky Soldiers would defend the Goethe Fortress or not, there were no hundreds of thousands of Black Sky Soldiers to help his benefactor defend, and I am afraid that there would be no situation where the three princes were divided into three points now, but for the appetite of the crusading army that Rick said, Bodri also had some vague conjectures, and now he wanted to hear what Rick said when he sat face to face with Rick.
"What does Marquis Rick think of this crusade's attack on Goethe's fortress halfway?"
"Hehe, presumably Lord Earl also has some guesses, for His Royal Highness Wellesley, Goethe Fortress is just a transit city ahead, which is not too important, but it is facing the Great Wasteland Corridor, which can defend against the attacks of the Great Prince and the Second Prince. But now it is garrisoned by our army, but at most it is only to gain a larger range of defense and hold Rami County, and it does not have much use value. But if it is obtained by His Highness Jonad, it is different! ”
"Indeed, if the Goethe Fortress is missing as a transit for Hao Fang, the city ahead will have a hard time!"
"Is it just bitter?" Rick Xiao smiled: "I'm afraid that His Highness Wellesley, who doesn't have too many troops, will have to shrink his forces and abandon it, right?" Not only that, under the threat of Goethe, at least ten cities will become the new territories of His Royal Highness Jonad, and those cities that will be sent out by His Royal Highness Wycliffe, the Grand Prince, will also become the next target of His Highness Jonad, and the counties around the Great Wasteland will become the target of the crusading army because of the fall of Goethe's fortress! ”
Astound! Although Baudry had already recognized the importance of Goethe's Fortress and had received some instructions from the Fourth Prince Wellesley from the magic message, he only thought that a few particularly prominent cities would be abandoned, and other cities were also in an awkward position but not without holding their forces, but now he heard Rick analyze the consequences of Goethe Fortress falling into the hands of Prince Jonnard in such detail, but he was shocked by the possible consequences of this follow-up.
In fact, it was not only Bordry who was shocked by the consequences, even Rick only analyzed that the crusading army could capture half of the county before obtaining the Goethe Fortress, and it was not until he completely controlled the Goethe Fortress that Rick thought of this layer, and then he found out that the master who made this battle plan was really surprisingly appetizing, and I am afraid that he wanted to determine the strongest position of His Royal Highness Jonad in Haitian in one fell swoop.
As for whether Ryser will be allowed to attack Black Rock City, the target of the original clamour, in Rick's imagination, it is absolutely certain, once the capture of Black Rock City is successful, the depth of the Great Wasteland Corridor will be completely mastered by Jonad, from east to west, from south to north, Jonad will gain the greatest strategic advantage against his two brothers, one has no financial support, the other is to borrow troops from foreign countries to lose reputation, and Jonad's dream of becoming the emperor of the sea and sky will not be far away.
However, if Mo Ding Jonad became the Emperor of the Sea and Sky, the Black Rock City was lost from Rick, Rick would definitely not be the one who would be slaughtered by the neck, and it was definitely not the style of the Yu family to sit in place and wait for others to stab.
"But now Goethe's Fortress is in the hands of you, Marquis Rick!
Imagine that the crusading army should also go back with interest when he sees this, can His Excellency the Marquis exchange the Goethe Fortress for ......" Bodri began to ask Rick for the return of the Goethe Fortress without a red face and a heartbeat, although this is obviously impossible, but he has already received such instructions behind his back, Rick of course understands this, and finally deceived the Goethe Fortress from the fire, how can Rick return him? In particular, the location of this Goethe Fortress can divide several forces, and when combined with the Wasteland Fortress, it can become the arch guard of Black Rock City, and it is not so easy to take it back like this.
