Chapter 437: Hold your ground
City of Glaciers.
This is the closest medium-sized city to the midstream upstream, and in order to be able to start the war against the midstream as soon as possible, the headquarters of the Imperial Army has now moved here from the Black Gold City.
At this time.
Two members of the reconnaissance battalion dressed in black were giving a report to Eskar on the situation of the battle, and this report was naturally from the middle and lower regions, the war between Vega and the Grand Prince.
"Report to the Commander. ”
One of the black-clad scouts handed Escal a well-organized written report and said, "The war between Brigadier General Vega and the Western Bank regime of the dynasty has begun, and the two sides are separated by the Holy City of Ganti and the City of Moonrest. ”
"What about the specifics?"
Eskar asked, flipping through the written report.
The scout team members did not dare to slack off, and another team member immediately stepped forward and said: "On the night of the 14th, Brigadier General Vega ordered 15,000 soldiers to go east out of the Moon's Breath Mountain Range, trying to bypass the Moon's Breath Mountain Range and sneak attack the north gate of the Moon's Breath City, but they were detected in advance by the west bank of the dynasty. This army was first attacked by the air force, and then when it retreated to the Grand Canyon of Ethiopia, the entrance and exit were blocked by the dynastic army, and no one survived. ”
"No life?"
Eskar grinned and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the always shrewd Brigadier General Vega would also make a mistake, but this is okay, through his temptation, it is directly proved that the main force on the west bank of the dynasty has been transferred to the downstream deployment, after all, if you want to completely annihilate an army of 15,000 people, it is difficult to do it without ten times more troops." ”
It is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to annihilate everything.
In a war, it is easy to defeat the other side and let the other side collapse and then go to defeat, but it is quite difficult to completely annihilate the enemy army and let the enemy have no life.
So hearing this information, Eskar was already sure -
The main force on the west bank of the dynasty has been transferred downstream, and now he has taken the opportunity to send troops, and he will definitely drive directly into the great city of Donbu to stabilize the battle situation on the west bank of the dynasty in the shortest possible time.
"Inform the whole army. ”
Escal turned to his adjutant and said, "According to the original plan, start a war against the middle reaches, let the air force set off in advance, and open a road for us." ”
"Yes, Commander. ”
"Wait!"
The adjutant had just answered the order, but Eskar stopped him.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's send out the Airborne Legion first, this time let's experiment with how the Kingdom's lightning tactics unfold." ”
"Your Excellency, the subordinate has a doubt, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"Tell me, you've been with me for so long, have you ever seen when I was stubborn?"
"Commander-in-Chief Xie. ”
The adjutant asked in a puzzled tone: "Once the airborne corps is dispatched, if it is intercepted by the enemy's air force, won't all the achievements made will be wasted at that time?" After all, in the case of the death of the escort boat, it is difficult for the carrier airship to resist the attack of the enemy airship. ”
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
Escal smiled: "Since the main force of the enemy army is downstream, then the garrison in this upstream area must be quite empty, even if we march towards Dunbudi openly, the enemy will not have air defense force to deal with us." ”
"Your Excellency, Commander, is wise. ”
The adjutant received a reply, and sent it to the divisions on Escal's orders.
On the next day.
The aviation unit set out from the Ice City with a full load of soldiers, and in about 4 days it could launch an attack on the midstream, again due to the need to coordinate the speed of the army's march, otherwise it could have been faster.
Of course.
None of them, including Eskar, suspected that this was a play played by Vega and the Grand Prince.
Because this is 15,000 lives, or an elite soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, what commander is willing to waste his blood and money to stage such a bitter plan for an entire division?
And, what is a bitter meat meter?
Not to mention that there has never been a similar example of war, even this term has never appeared in this world.
So Vega's plan was very successful.
The Imperial Army had already moved its army towards the middle reaches at the agreed time, and planned to officially launch an attack on the middle reaches on December 20 to completely calm the war situation on the west bank of the dynasty.
————
The Great City of Donbu.
The eldest prince also received news of the empire's march at this time.
Because of this, he sneered, and couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Empire, empire, if you hadn't established an alliance with Your Excellency Vega earlier, I'm afraid that this time you will really let you fight all the way to the city of Donbu and serve us in a pot." ”
"Ordered the whole army. ”
Caia Saint Laurent came back to his senses and gave an order to Ferre Gary in front of him: "You lead the Aviation Corps and the Third Army to establish a defensive line in advance, symbolize resistance, and lure the enemy deep into the interior. At that time, I will personally lead the army to set up an ambush to meet you in the Forest of Aino, and I will make the Empire suffer a great loss during the last period of my reign. ”
"Your Majesty, please think twice about the matter of pro-conquest. ”
Feret Gary symbolically persuaded him, he did not know that Kaeya had secretly sold the entire west bank of the dynasty to Vega, so he could not understand why Kaeya had recently become willful and reckless, and was always obsessed with the royal conquest.
"Ferres, I don't want you to stop me. ”
Kaeya's tone became a little unkind, which also made Fei Li, who was good at observing words and feelings, wake up, so he hurriedly said: "Please let your majesty go, your subordinates will protect your safety even if they fight to the death." ”
"I'm relieved to have Ferre, your words. ”
Kaeya nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Go down and arrange, this time you must give me a hard beating of the Imperial Army, so as to vent the anger in my heart and let them know who is the master of this land." ”
"Xia Guan understands, but there is still something unclear. ”
Doubts flashed in Ferre's eyes: "Is it really no problem for us to transfer all the main forces downstream to the upstream? If that imp launches an attack at this time, even if we defeat the Imperial Army, we will die at the hands of that imp." ”
"The downstream will not attack at this time. ”
Kaeya said conclusively, "I can assure you of this alone. You go and carry out the order, I am personally in charge of the commander-in-chief of this war, and I have a certain number in my heart. ”
"The lower official retired. ”
Ferre Gary seemed to understand something, and left with a little white on his face.
Meanwhile.
An important meeting was also held in Viga downstream, this time mainly on whether to continue the offensive.
meeting.
A division commander stood up with some excitement and said, "Commander, according to reliable information, the empire has moved south to attack the middle reaches, and the enemy seems to have withdrawn the main force to the upstream direction last night. At this time, if we launch an attack, we will definitely be able to drive straight into the great city of Donbu and completely annihilate the rebels on the west bank. ”
"The matter was postponed. ”
"Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......"
Vega raised his head and interrupted the other party: "Standing still is the best action." ”
