Chapter 251: Marin City's Great Victory
readx;? Under the illumination of the magic of illumination, three hundred meters away from the watchtower, a muddy flood swept through the mud and sand debris was rushing along the sand at the edge of the forest, and the waves nearly five steps high swallowed everything in its path, and the large tree the thickness of one person was uprooted in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The moment he heard the sentry's scream, Bols flew swiftly up the watchtower, and was stunned by the raging waves that had rushed to his feet.
Bols, who was a great swordsman cultivator, stood on the watchtower's body, and actually shook violently, his eyes were black for a while, and he staggered back two steps, if it wasn't for the sentry who came up to help him, he almost fell under the watchtower.
At this moment, Bols realized that everything that happened to both the Vanguard Wing and the main force of the Westward Advance Army led by himself was actually an interlocking conspiracy carefully designed by the opponent.
The opponents not only had a clear understanding of their own army's actions, but even knew the psychological state of their own troops, and they first took advantage of the psychology of their vanguard wing to make meritorious contributions and carelessly underestimate the enemy, and adopted the tactic of luring the enemy into depth, trapping and annihilating him, and deliberately left some soldiers to bring the news of the defeat of the vanguard to themselves, so that they could put away their hearts of despising the enemy and increase their vigilance.
Then the opponent used a small force of cavalry to harass him, and he was bound to take every step of the way when he learned of the defeat of the vanguard army.
Their caution fell into the trap of their opponents, as their aim was to slow down their army and make it outside Marin at dusk. This leaves you with less time to scout the detailed terrain in the vicinity before dark, and you have no chance of discovering your opponent's next plot. Then the opponent deliberately left the woods not to clear the wilderness, in fact, in order to force himself to choose to camp on the dry sand, and if he was not mistaken, this narrow sandy land was simply an old river, and later the river was diverted, leaving a sandy land, but now the river is obviously diverted again.
Bols's flash of thought was not wrong at all, the location where they were at this time was an old river, and the name of this river Bols had also heard of it, because Marin City was named after this river, so this river was called Marin River.
The Marin River originates in the Togolese hills, and the old course flows along a dense forest on the east side of the city of Marin to the south-east wilderness. Three miles up the forest there is a small natural lake on the Marin River.
In order to increase the level of city defense, a moat was specially built, and in order to attract enough water to fill the moat, they renovated the Marin River a few miles away, dug a new river channel by the upstream lake to introduce the water of the Marin River into the moat, and built a dam to completely seal the original river. Hundreds of years have passed, and the water of the original river channel has long since dried up, and finally only a long strip of river sand is left on the river, and if you are not familiar with this history, even if you walk on the fine sand of the old channel, you will not be able to imagine that there was once a river that flows endlessly.
Three days before the rebels arrived, Moses, who had received a secret report from his subordinates, had secretly arranged for someone to block the junction of the lake and the new river channel, so that the water level in the lake would continue to rise, and destroy the dam and release the water while the rebels were asleep tonight, in order to complete the battle.
For the sake of secrecy, Moses used all the family's private soldiers in this secret operation, and these private soldiers were immediately reorganized into a pursuit force after completing the mission, hiding in the dense forest near the lakeside, and no one was allowed to leave the barracks without an order.
And in order to prevent the rebels from seeing through their plans, Moses sent a large number of cavalry squads, some of them were responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the lake to prevent all enemy scouts from entering, and the other part was responsible for pinning down the main force of the rebels, and they must be dragged into the pre-designed ambush positions before dark. As a camp for an army of 30,000, the sandy land of the old river was undoubtedly the most suitable, and if it were not for the fact that there was a lake full of water upstream, Moses himself might have chosen this place to camp and rest.
It was with the meticulous design and precision of Moses Trorense that the Grim Reaper's scythe swung at high speed towards the main forces of the resistance, which were still completely in the dark.
As soon as the warning of the rebel sentries fell, and the chaotic rebels were still a little dazed and at a loss, the waves of the flood had already rushed into the barracks, and it was too late to react.
In just a few minutes, the rebel camp was swept away from the sandy land by the flood peak, and only a few soldiers who slept at the very edge of the river had time to escape when they found the waves, and the rest of the soldiers basically became underwater ghosts, so that in the next few days, the banks of the ancient road of the Marin River were full of swollen corpses. As a result, the coyotes and wild dogs in the wilderness within a radius of 100 miles on both sides of the strait are all fat and fat, and the carnivorous fish in the water are even more fat and strong.
At the life-and-death juncture when Hong Feng attacked, Bols only had time to rescue the great magician Emaar and several other low-level magicians, who used the levitation technique to escape the catastrophe, and watched the tens of thousands of soldiers under them disappear in an instant, especially the two little magicians who had just left their teachers to join the army, they witnessed such a cruel scene, and they were so frightened that they could hardly even speak, the destructive power of nature made them suddenly feel that the magical power they had mastered was so insignificant.
Bols returned to the shore, didn't care about gathering the army at all, took the soldiers around him who escaped by chance, and rode the lucky horse to the direction of Lua City to flee for his life, he knew that since the opponent had made a trap, then there must be a backhand, at this time any hesitation could lead to annihilation, but the current situation is almost the same as the catastrophe, fortunately he is still alive, the great magician Emaar is also alive, and Lua City is still in his hands, so he has a chance to make a comeback.
Bols expected that Moses Trorens had indeed laid an ambush in the east of the Marin River, but for the purpose of confusing the rebels, the ambush was far away, so when the ambush came, Bols had already run away without a trace, leaving only some lost shrimp soldiers and crab generals, still immersed in the nightmare of the annihilation of the whole army in a snap of his fingers, and did not wake up, seeing that the defenders had already surrendered on their knees without fighting.
The victory of Marin City is one of the few classic battles in human history in which less wins more, and it and the subsequent victory of Capra Pass are classic cases in human military history, and have been used as teaching materials by countless military schools for students to study and study. Although the tragedy and tragedy of the victory of Marin City were far less than the offensive and defensive battles of Capra Pass that occurred later, the strategy was more than a step higher, and it defeated several times the enemy with the smallest losses with the help of the right time and place, which can be called the best example of human military history to know oneself and know one's opponent and win by wisdom.
The victory at Marin was the first battle commanded by Moses Trorense as a commander, and it was this battle that laid the foundation for him as a rare and famous general in human history, and opened a magnificent prelude to his brilliant and tragic military career.
In addition, the victory of Marin City was also an important turning point in the civil strife in Higg, before that, the rebels once took the initiative and had unlimited scenery, but after this battle, the rebels were greatly injured, turned from offensive to defensive, retreated to Lua City, relied on high walls and thick gates to defend and recuperate, and completely lost the strength and confidence to counterattack the empire.
