Chapter 657: The First Song of the Evil Beast (16) Closing the Net
After learning the secret that the Spirit Gate Gun could not be mass-produced, although there were still a few nobles who could not see the form and continued to be loyal to Ruiying Maiqiu, most of the Jida nobles took a correct posture and stopped riding the wall, and helped Parson Duofan to kill the remaining nobles who refused to give in or still rode the wall.
After all, the exchange of Lingmen guns has come to naught, and if Ruiying Maiqiu recaptures Jida afterwards, it is unknown what will happen to the Jida nobles, it is better to fight with Duofan to get rich, and the successive appearance of Huls-style farmland, textiles, glass, exhaustion magic and Lingmen guns over the years has also given the nobles the confidence to follow Duofan, or Dima behind him.
So then, Duofan used the majestic walls of Jida to resist the counterattack of the rest of Sydney, whether it was from the enemy army on the road or at sea.
Needless to say, even without the help of the Spirit Door Gun, the Jida nobles, who are the most powerful aristocratic group in Sydney, can be defeated
This task was relatively easy, because Jida is the most prosperous city in Sydney, with an excellent city defense system, thanks to the legacy of the last "Second Siber War", and in addition, Rui Ying Mai Qiu was too busy fighting with the southern Audi in the "Second War of Light" to spare all his strength to deal with the invasion of Dofan.
Therefore, three months later, the first wave of Lingmen gun soldiers was loaded, and Duofan finally had the capital to send troops, so he relied on this urgently trained naturalized legion.
Dorfan's strategy was very simple, first capturing Batiros, which was the only way to open up Sydney and Siber - Batiros had been attacking Jida all these months, and had selectively ignored Sibo on the side.
After the capture of Batiros, the next step was to move west to occupy Valutu, and Duofan did not expect to occupy the Brazilian corridor, but at least cut off the necessary way for Rui Ying Maiqiu to attack Jida from the west.
After Valutu was captured, he finally waved his army south to attack Apuro, once Apuro was captured, then Jida would be on guard all around, and then Duofan could slowly figure it out, because the initiative of the war was already in the hands of Jida.
When Duofan led the Jida army to march to Batiros, he was apprehensive in his heart, because when he was in Dima, Duofan had the assistance of the entire Dima nobles, Boligu made up his mind at the top, and there was the undefeated madman Huls in the back, so he only needed to lead the troops to fight, and there was no psychological burden.
However, since he led the First Legion across the sea to attack Jida alone a while ago, although Duofan here has cronies who have grown up with him, he is the only one who can make up his mind here, and he is the supreme leader of this group of people.
However, all these ordeals were persevered by Duo Fan gritting his teeth, he knew that if he wanted to grow into a true king of the mountains, all this was the only way to go, and this was probably the reason why Boligu let himself come to Jida alone to fight, right?
"Who can be like me, with such a magnificent war, and with such a reliable army to provide me with growth?, in that case, what am I worried about?" Thinking of this, Duofan had already thrown away his last worries and walked towards his predetermined goal, "Just like the proverb of the divine realm, the dice have been rolled. ”
This march was unexpectedly smooth, most of the enemy troops in front of Duofan were not strong, and only the army of Ruiying Maiqiu who would really resist Duofan desperately, and the remaining Sydneysider nobles either surrendered halfway through the battle, or they had already negotiated with Duofan to make internal responses.
In fact, there is another reason why Duofan's march can be so smooth this time, that is, the big net that Dima took more than 30 years to lay.
At this time, the cities that Dofan attacked were either located on the shores of Batiros Bay, or could be connected to Batiros Bay by river.
What's more, as early as more than ten years ago, under the guise of common prosperity, Dima consciously (although only under the instruction of Boligu in Leng Yi) kidnapped the economy of the local aristocracy with Dima, or extremely bad raw material binding, so that the Jida nobles inadvertently enjoyed colonial treatment, after all, the workers and peasants are not bad scissors.
Therefore, when Dima severed trade with Sydney, Jida, as a raw material site, suffered terrible losses, which also forced some nobles to defect.
Therefore, on the contrary, if the city on the shore of Batiros Bay can be attacked so smoothly, then the city that is far away from Batiros Bay and has not been affected will become quite difficult to capture, which is why Duofan only designed to capture the cities around Jida to protect Jida at the beginning.
In the process of Duofan's march, Sydney's biggest resistance was to organize a main army from Apuro with the cooperation of Rui Ying Maiqiu's army when Duofan attacked Walutu, trying to sneak attack Jida.
As a result, Ji Da successfully resisted the Sydney army, and Duofan took the opportunity to lead the main force to march back and intercept them before the Sydney army withdrew, and finally it was a fruitful battle of annihilation, a large number of Sydney troops surrendered, and a small number of them fled and were captured, which made Duofan can't help but sigh: "Compared to Siber, Sydney's army is really weak." ”
When Duofan captured Apuro in 2462 to complete the strategic goal of protecting Jida, a piece of news came that was unfavorable to Duofan, which made Duofan mixed with joy.
The nonsense article "From Pichem to Pichem" was hyped in Bejara at this time, because a member of the Valerosino family, a descendant of the former Pehem, also known as Piham, became Bejara's most sought-after star for a time after defeating the Siber army led by Thermopy Huls under the city of Naro.
It was in 2461 that Herls of Smokepi led an unprecedentedly large army to the fortress of Naro, at which point the Filipino-argon army actually led the retreat to Uk, and the fortress of Naro was commanded by Pichem in danger.
This Pihem was the same as his ancestors had commanded a hundred years earlier, first taking advantage of the fact that the Nara fortress was only facing the enemy, and he wore down the strength of the Sibber's army, and then killed it when the Sib's army was exhausted.
It turned out that recruiting a large number of civilians to expand the army, and only taking 3 months to train, even with the assistance of exhaustive magic and spirit guns, was unreliable, and from now on there was one more battle that proved this iron law, and that was the defeat of Smoke's Huls.
In the face of Pichem's counter-charge, Smoke's Huls, composed of civilians, fled, and the Siber army lacked enough overseers to contain the civilian army's rout in the first place, and disaster struck, as the rout overwhelmed the entire legion, followed by a major rout.
More than 100 years ago, in the "Second Siber War", Hulse was defeated with hatred under the fortress of Naro, and more than 100 years later, in the "Third Siber War", Smoke's Hulse repeated such a fiasco again.
Fortunately, Smokepe's Hulse cautiously left reserves in the rear, and the reserves came up to stabilize the formation, so that Pichem Mingjin could withdraw his troops, but the matter was irreparable, and Smokepe's Huls caused Siber's army to suffer the biggest rout since the beginning of the war.
When the rout happens, Smokey Hulse knows that he is finished, to be precise, his future is finished, although after the defeat Smokey Huls used his excellent command skills to mitigate the loss, but it is useless, people will not look at what you relieve, they will only look at how much you have succeeded.
And when the news of Dofan's successful mission reached Smoke's camp in Huls, he knew that another nail had been driven into his coffin.
"Dofan! The Parsons Family! The Sieneks! Will Gain a Foothold in the New Siber! And I, the Rising Star of Dima, Should Have Been Able to Stop This! But Now It's Useless to Say Anything! I'll Be Nailed to the Pillar of Shame in History! Forever and Ever!"
On that day, Smoke, who had led the army for more than ten years, cried out these words, and then returned to the camp drunk to write a letter of resignation.
A few months later, Dima sent a general to take charge of the army to succeed Smokepe, and since then he has not appeared in any historical records, leaving only some inexplicable infamy, and it is only through the discovery of his tombstone in the graveyard of Dima that it is known when the general who was the most powerful in the "Third Siber War" died.
Therefore, in modern times, with the development of new historiography, people began to overturn the case for this military accomplished general, borrowing the only remaining historical materials to erase the dirt in history, and giving the world a real image of Smokey Huls.
Excerpt from "The New Concise History of Siber"——
He had suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Shinara, but this defeat alone was not the reason for the disgrace of the generals who had defeated a third of the Sibers, and his defeat was more of a political struggle than a military punishment. ”
"He is not as wise and wise as the Casebreakers portray, but he is not the jealous and mediocre general described in the Siber Canon as a mere master by virtue of his family background—although the Siber Canon was not compiled by the overthrown Parson dynasty, and it is a pity that this famous canon continues Siber's past evaluations in this respect. ”
“...... It is inevitable that Smoke's Huls evaluation is so low, the Parsons family are jealous of him as the biggest rival on the road to the throne, and the nobleman Dima is angry that he has spent all his resources to nurture him, but he has returned the nobleman Dima with such a painful defeat, and he will naturally be treated like this when he encounters disgust from both sides. ”
With the retreat of Smokey Huls, his plan to capture Naro was completely abandoned, and Siber began to devote resources to the Extraordinary plan to annex Sydney, and his strategy for Nara shifted to holding Lower Narro.
After all, when Battyros was captured, Naro had lost its former importance, and now even if Philippines captured Narro, it would no longer be able to cut off the north-south road of Siber, because Battyros had also connected Gechi and Uldoci.
"I have seen the end of this long war," Boligu said to Huls, who had not appeared for a long time, "I am right, there is no need for you to intervene, and now Dima is strong enough to deal with the threat of the outside world on his own, and they have grown." ”
"Grow," Hulse replied, not with joy but with more of a strange expression, mixed with apprehension, hesitation, and doubt, and in the distance came the roar of the factory, and the sigh that came with it.
