Chapter 647: The First Song of the Evil Beast (6) Dima 2443
After losing the supply of cheap dima goods that had been available for more than 20 years, the prices in the cities of Sib did not change drastically for the time being, because the confidence of the citizens in the war was still there, and the stocks between the cities were still fruitful in the first year, and the speculative merchants knew that now was not the best time to resell.
After the withdrawal and repair, Urdoch quickly formulated a battle plan for 2442, the Lov army was reduced to 30,000 men, and transferred to the bank of the Dima River to contain the second army of Dima - after a year of fighting, Urdoci had a preliminary understanding of the configuration of Dima's army, and the Gerdoch army was increased to 80,000, marching from south to north as the main force to break through the city of Dima.
For this combat strategy, the main general of the Loveian army, Rahman, has no opinion, after all, he knows that no matter how high his position in Siber is, he is just a Sinian nobleman, and the real protagonist of this war is still to be handed over to the Sifili nobleman, that is, the main general of the Geqi army, Amis.
At the same time, some of Uldoch's generals put forward a new idea: after Siber cut off trade with Dima, Dima increased trade with the cities of Batiros Bay, and it can be said that once Dima's port is blocked, Dima will fall into a lack of food, and he will be defeated without defeat, so can he send a navy to obtain sea supremacy in Batiros Bay?
This is a very good suggestion, if it can be carried out, but it is very embarrassing that Siber has no navy, because Siber has only two cities near the sea, one is the poorest Love in all of Siber, and the other is Dima...... Although neither city has a real navy, Dima is a commercial city, and the number of seagoing ships is not comparable to Love's.
In the last "Second Siber War", the Philippine argon was able to obtain the sea control of Batiros Bay because the Filipino argon personally sent a fleet, but this time due to the "2440 Dima Agreement" with Huls, it is impossible for the Philippine argon to send a fleet to aid Siber, so it will not be able to obtain the sea control of Batiros Bay.
Although the Philippine argon also sent many "volunteers" to participate in the war in this war, can the army's participation in the war be the same as the navy's participation in the war? There are so many people on the battlefield, and the mages are hiding in the rear and hugging together, as long as they are not particularly well-known mages, who can be sure to recognize them?
And the ships are different, not to mention that each warship has a unique name, let's just say that if you want to make Love, the poorest city in all of Sibe, a city where even the harbor is still clogged, several huge warships will suddenly appear, and a fool can see that it is supported by Philippine argon.
However, the idea of this suggestion is still good, so Uldoci ordered to clean up Love's harbor from today, and make sure that Love can restore his seaworthiness, at least repair the port, and talk about it later.
When the spring of 2442 arrived, when the ice and snow melted, the two armies of Urdoch set out together and pounced on Dima, and the second battle of Dima's defense began.
Dima's army was not much different from the previous one, with the 2nd Army marching to the banks of the Duma River and pinning down, or rather, being pinned down by the Lov Army, while the 1st and 3rd Corps moved south to fight against the Gechch's army.
But unlike last year, this time Dima's military order is to be able to follow the rules, and not to go to the city of Dima, and it is necessary not to let the two legions be entangled in the field and be completely wiped out.
And this time, the main general of the Geqi army, Amis, was also different from the last time, opening the way with the elite army, and Duofan commanded the two major legions to engage with the elite of the Geqi army in a small scale twice, although they both won the victory, but their own losses were not low, so they fought and retreated, and were not entangled by the Geqi army.
A month later, Dofan sent the 3rd Legion to the banks of the Dima River at the speed of a rapid march, and together with the 2nd Legion, dragged the 4 psionic cannons placed on the banks of the Dima back to the city of Dima, and then the two legions retreated cautiously.
Because the Geqi army relies on its absolute numerical superiority, the siege of Dima is just around the corner, if the second army is still outside, it is easy to be flanked by the Geqi army and the Loff's army, so it is a matter of minutes.
A few days after the second and third armies withdrew unharmed to the city of Dima, the first army also successfully returned to the city of Dima, when the summer was coming to an end, the 110,000 troops of Urdoch's Gechi army and the Lov army gathered under the city of Dima, and surrounded the city on three sides.
"Don't worry, all the machinery and equipment and inventory that can be brought back from the factory have been moved back, and all the things that cannot be brought back have been burned, and we will definitely compensate you after this war," said the preacher when the city of Dima was surrounded by people.
"Besides, Uldoci doesn't have a navy, they can't besiege the port of Dima, so we can continue to trade with Sydney, and many buildings in the city have also been converted into factories, so we don't have to worry about goods without trade, so we can definitely survive!"
Even at the end of the Middle Ages, it was impossible for the city authorities to have such control, because the bureaucratic system could not cover such a wide area, thanks to the cold game system, reasonable planning of practical plans, and the bureaucracy at all levels in Dima only had to do what was ordered, and smoothly entered the wartime system.
Hulse had also been withdrawn from the royal palace long ago (the royal palace where Hulse lived was not in the city of Dima, but on the hill on the other side of the Dima River, where the veins of the fire crystal spirit stones were also located), temporarily residing in the city council, and were surrounded by the high-ranking nobles of Dima.
"Lord of the Hill, can't you use the killer weapon at this time? Uldoqi's army of more than 100,000 troops has already arrived in Dima City!"
This is the most feared and feared problem of the nobles, and in their opinion, without the final killer "Spirit Gate Gun", Dima would not have survived this siege.
However, Hulse still shook his head: "Only after it can be mass-produced, can it be installed, and it is still not time, please believe in Dima's army." ”
After Dima was surrounded, the army was immediately expanded, and the original three elite legions were each responsible for guarding a city wall, and other citizens were recruited to form many auxiliary legions to help defend the city.
Dima will take all the citizens under his jurisdiction into the city of Dima, and the countryside will not be taken care of, and the clever peasants who flee to Dima will also be properly entertained by Dima, and those who do not want to leave or still have illusions in Urdoci will experience the tyranny of the army in the feudal era.
Although Dima only housed the citizens, some peasants and slaves under the jurisdiction of the main city, but even this overcrowded the people of Dima so that some reliable people and dangerous elements were temporarily sent to Sydney, and Sydney even allocated them fields for farming.
After 2442, the siege of Dima was spent in the aftermath of Urdocia, where Urdoch's army made only one ant-annexed assault and gave up after being defeated.
After all, exhaustion magic is too buggy, according to the usual military experience in this world, if the gap between the mage legion reaches such a disparity between the Siber army and the Dima army, no matter how thick the walls of Dima are, they would have fallen in the bombardment of the Siber mage legion, but the exhaustion magic has scrapped this most effective weapon.
In addition, it is the orderly order in the city of Dima, and in this regard, the commander of the Sib army, Amis, has expressed a helpless sigh: "If half of the non-aristocratic army under my command can be composed of the citizens of Dima, then I will already be drinking in the Dima Council at this moment!"
Of course, this is a slight exaggeration, and such order in Dima City is inseparable from the auxiliary arrangement of the cold game system, otherwise with the human brain and bureaucratic system of this era, Dima has already fallen into chaos and shortage of materials at this moment.
The year 2443 was the heaviest year of the Urdoch army's attack, and many of the walls were crumbled, and the Dima army and the Sib army fought a fierce battle to recapture the crumbling walls.
In order to adapt to such a brutal war, Dima implemented a rationing system on the one hand, and the food that slaves could eat from Huls to was condemned to death, and only soldiers, craftsmen and children were given preferential treatment, and in order to increase the number of soldiers, Boligu even added slaves to the army, claiming that if they survived the war, slaves would enjoy everything that a normal soldier should have.
Faced with some of the doubts of the nobles, Boligu said: "If you have won the war, are you afraid that there will be no new slaves?
The battle to recapture the collapsed walls ended in Dima's victory, after all, this was the first few years of the war, and both sides were at their most energetic.
However, after several months of high-intensity siege, although the number of people but the quality of the Siber army was the first to be unable to hold out and defeated, Amis also realized that continuing to force the siege would lead to a mutiny of the entire army, and also knew that he regretted to let Dima go, and Dima survived the bloody year 2443.
In the literary works of later generations, there are countless that involve Dima in 2443, and Guan directly wrote "2443" in the title of no less than ten, such as "Scarlet 2443", "Fierce Battle 2443", "Soul Break 2443", "Dima 2443", "2443, Unyielding Will" and so on.
By the time 2444 arrived, the morale of Sibber's army was even worse than before, after all, hoarding 110,000 troops (although there were no more than 110,000 after the battle in 2443) under the city of Dima was a burden for all aspects of Siber, so only about 40,000 troops under the city of Dima were maintained to maintain pressure, and all the rest of the rear were scattered to supply the pressure.
"The plan to seize sea supremacy must be put on the agenda, and without control of sea power in Batiros Bay, it is impossible to cut off Dima's supplies," Amis put his last hope on Love's port, so this year Love's port rebuilding plan received a large amount of money, and a series of shipbuilding projects were launched.
These plans were not completed overnight, in fact, they were not initially completed until 2445, after all, Dima was able to complete it so quickly, because Dima was originally a port, but it was deliberately blocked, and Love...... It was not suitable as a port in every sense of the word, so even before Siber was founded, Love's was poor.
And the god of the mountains is still supporting Dima in the divine realm, and after measuring the news of Love's harbor, he stipulates how big the ship should be that can be built in Love.
After the news was sent, he sent Boligu to disgust Siber, saying that if Siber's size in Love's ship exceeds this standard, it will be a violation of the "Dima Agreement 2440", believe it or not, Hulse will come out and scrap your ship, and everyone will simply break up?
So another cheating road was blocked by Dima, which made Sibo scold Fake, the maritime volunteers just can't be as easy as the road volunteers.
However, this is not the worst thing, as the inhabitants of Dima complain while munching on the bad food rationed for them, the storm of losing Dima goods has begun to ferment in other cities of Sima as the war drags on.
