Chapter 392: The Storm Changes
The kingdom has withdrawn.
This matter didn't feel much to Vega, after all, it was all expected by him, because this was what he had worked hard to produce, and the war situation that encompassed the three kingdoms was also moving forward step by step according to the strategic program he had formulated in advance.
First, to be crowned emperor and send envoys to the empire;
second, encircled Wei to save Zhao and regained control of the east;
third, the snipe and clam fought each other and sent troops to the west bank;
Fourth: The fisherman profits, the uncrowned emperor.
According to the four strategic rings of Vega, it has now reached the second step, and he only needs to wait for about half a month for the kingdom army to completely leave the territory of the eastern part of the Holy Dynasty, then he can regain control of the entire eastern part of the Holy Dynasty.
And this time the kingdom army is in a hurry.
The cities of the Holy Dynasty as a whole did not suffer much financial damage, but the oppression and abuse of the common people only increased the hatred of the United Kingdom.
Vega doesn't think that's a bad thing.
Hatred will make the people feel ashamed and courageous, and anger will make the civilians unite with each other, which in turn can strengthen the cohesion of the whole nation and achieve unexpected results in future wars.
"Come on, the second step is almost over. ”
Vega looked at the gloomy sky, and a sense of relief rose in his heart.
It is indeed complacency rather than self-confidence.
Complacency has always been a derogatory term, but after spending an unknown number of days and nights to complete a work of art, shouldn't you be satisfied with yourself and say something that even you admire.
As the old saying goes.
It is the best strategy to defeat the enemy with strategy without spending a single soldier.
Secondly, the use of diplomacy to expand one's alliance and force the enemy to submit is the second.
Second, the use of force to fight to the death with the enemy is a last resort.
Under the siege of the city, only the third-rate generals will attack the enemy's city with brute force regardless of losses.
And this time, Vega used the means of scheming and fighting to make the kingdom retreat on its own initiative without spending a single soldier, and at the same time cede the entire east, it also caused the empire and the kingdom to lose a lot of national strength to each other, so that the dynasty won time for development.
Shouldn't this be complacent?
Although his strength has been stagnant due to the absence of war, Vega believes that this is not a bad thing, and the stagnation of power means that everything is going according to his plan.
After all, personal strength is limited after all.
It is absolutely impossible to subvert a country with the power of one person, and if you want to stand on the highest place and enjoy a comfortable life, then you must need the power of trillions of people.
Thus, after complacency, Vega entered a dormant period.
All he had to do now was wait, waiting for the kingdom to overthrow the Empire's blocking forces, and at the same time bury all the troops that coveted the kingdom's dragon city in the kingdom.
After that, it's still a matter of waiting.
Waiting for the group of people in the west of the empire and the dynasty to fight each other over a black and gold city, and when the two forces are almost competing, it will be his turn to send troops to the west bank and take the opportunity to annihilate the dynasty army on the west bank.
Finally achieve the goal of unifying the dynasty and becoming the uncrowned emperor.
And for the next month, everything turned out to be as Vega had imagined.
The Empire has raised an army group to illegally enter the Holy Dynasty in an attempt to stop the retreat of the Kingdom Army for a month. In just a month's time, Foster would be able to break through the Dragon City and open a sea front, thus depriving the kingdom of the initiative in the war within the country.
The idea is wonderful.
But the empire was too conceited after all.
When they saw that the Kingdom Army was defeated by the 20,000 remnants of Vega in the eastern part of the Holy Dynasty and could not find the north, they naturally thought that the Kingdom Army that had just been defeated was nothing more than that, and that a group was enough to withstand 400,000 troops for a month.
But an army of 150,000 and 400,000 is not an order of magnitude, and the main forces of the empire are attacking the city of dragons, and this army group is not even equipped with the standard 100 war airships, so what to fight with the army of the kingdom.
Therefore, the end of self-indulgence is-
Annihilated.
Under the kingdom's lightning tactics, the formation of the entire army group was cut in less than 12 hours, resulting in the inability to respond to the head and tail, flanks, and headquarters, and then the professionals and magicians broke through behind enemy lines, completely paralyzing the Empire's command system.
Finally, there is the carpet bombing of the war airship.
The Imperial Army originally planned to use an army group to block Tennir for a month, but the ruthless reality was that the kingdom broke through the blocking circle in just one week, and sent the entire army group to hell along the way.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
When the empire realized that it was too conceited and completely ruined the good situation, the military headquarters immediately ordered Foster to abandon the attack on the dragon city and urgently withdraw to the country through the city of Gasiri, but it was too late.
Foster went deep alone, and it would take half a month to withdraw to Gasiri alone.
And Tennir moved too fast, he took the city of Gasiri before Foster's more than 300,000 troops retreated, and now the imperial army of more than 300,000 people is counter-surrounded in the kingdom, losing all supplies and retreat routes.
What fate awaits them next?
After the kingdom has recovered its strength, they will be flanked by the armies of the kingdom of Gasiri City and the Dragon City, and they will be completely buried in the land of the kingdom, and I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape.
Hearing this battle report, Vega breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Empire occupies the Dragon City and swallows the entire United Kingdom, the next thing to follow in the footsteps is probably his Holy Dynasty, and now that the Empire has lost this main force, the entire east of the Jialan Mountains will enter a period of peace.
Vega desperately needs this period of peace.
In a war, the quality of the army is only a secondary factor, and it is the commanders with outstanding command ability who can really rewrite the situation of the war. And the reason why the empire was once called invincible in the army was not because of the quality of their soldiers, but because they had the largest number of talented generals.
Although these generals are almost dead.
Even if they don't die, they have lost their basic sense of war and can't return to their peak state.
But the commander who commanded this campaign was none other than he-
Foster Nolan.
This is one of the oldest commanders with the surname of the Empire.
He is almost a figure of the same era as Tennier Rheinberg, because he has been staying in the city of Kareny, where the smoke of war has never been extinguished, and last time he suffered a big loss from the Kingdom Army, so he has regained his sense of war.
After a year of precipitation.
When he took the initiative to ask for help and set off this battle of revenge, his strength was already better than before.
In such a desperate situation, such a character may be tied up and sit still?
No! Absolutely not!
A true legendary general will not panic because he is in a desperate situation, but such a desperate situation will make them feel excited, because Foster has already smelled the breath of the epic of the sermon from it.
So when he opened those eyes that were forever squinting.
It means that he has to fight against the odds and create an epic battle of his own, as a way to prove that as long as their old guys are still alive, the empire is still the strongest in the army.
Vega didn't know this at this time.
Even if he knew, he was powerless to stop it, and now another thing had attracted all his attention-
When the kingdom retreated, there were no more enemies in the east.
Kellison returned with less than 50,000 of his remaining troops, along with the last person Vega wanted to see, the guardian knight Carol.
