Chapter 741: Resurrection of the Soul
Small Jersey Town.
Located in the lower reaches of the Tanke River, the Imperial Army first captured the city to stock up on war supplies after entering the northwest due to its convenient land and water transportation.
Vega and Coverdale had already touched here with a reinforced brigade.
After arriving here, Vega did not rush to attack the small city of Jersey, but sent a large number of reconnaissance troops and began to investigate the situation in the city, as well as the location of the army and warehouses.
Since the Imperial Army did not expect that the rebels, who had a straightforward combat style, would copy their rear, the garrison of the entire small city was actually not very strong, and the reconnaissance force on the rebel side got the information without even losing a single person.
"Report to the Chief. ”
The recouting leader reported to Coverdale: "There is a garrison of about 34,000 legions in the city, 20,000 of whom are spread across the four gates, and 14,000 soldiers are in charge of guarding the warehouses. ”
"Although the enemy forces are lax, it seems that it is not easy to complete the mission. ”
Coverdale looked at the full map of the small city of Jersey given by the intelligence officer and said to Vega: "The warehouse is the closest to the east gate, and the defenders of the east gate have 5,000 people, this is the first line of defense that we have to break through no matter what, if we are surprised, it is not difficult to take the first line of defense, but ......"
As Coverdale applies.
In the event of a surprise, the enemy simply has no time to take precautions, so it is not difficult to storm the city.
The real difficulty is that once the war breaks out at the East Gate, the defenders everywhere will be moved, and when they reach the vicinity of the warehouse, they will probably not face 14,000 defenders, but the entire Jersey City garrison of up to 30,000.
It is almost impossible to try to defeat a standard corps with a reinforced brigade.
This is an absolute crushing of power.
Even if people don't notice that you're going around the rear, their improvised counterattack can knock you down.
"Your Majesty, can we adopt a strategy of attacking the east and the west?"
In the past few days, it seems that Haussman has been deeply influenced by him, and his foundation is seriously insufficient, but Coverdale, who is quite capable of learning, asks Vega this question.
In Coverdale's view, the enemy is now in the dark.
Once an army attacks one of them, the enemy commander will probably not think too much about the situation, but will mobilize the defenders from all over the place to the side of the feint, so that their main force can take advantage of the situation.
The idea is certainly good, and there is a possibility of success.
But Vega gave a negative answer.
He analyzed to Coverdale: "No matter how you attack the east and west, you can't change the fact that our troops are less than 10,000 people, the enemy will only be affected by your attack on the east and west, and the 14,000 soldiers near the warehouse will definitely not move a step, and when the time comes, your 5,000 or so troops to fight against the 14,000 elite soldiers of the empire is tantamount to asking for your own death." ”
"How can this be?"
"We must not divide our forces. ”
Vega calmly analyzed: "With only 8,000 troops, we must concentrate all our forces in one place to have a chance of survival, so what we have to think about is how to break through the first line of defense without startling the snake." ”
"How is this possible?"
Coverdale immediately vetoed: "The soldiers of the Empire are not blind, how can they let us enemies into the city?"
"Of course, it is impossible for the Imperial Army to let the enemy into the city......"
Vega said with a smile on his lips, "But what if we're allies?"
"Allies?"
Coverdale thought Vega was joking, "No matter how stupid the Imperial Army is, they can't treat us as allies...... Right?"
"Chief, have you ever heard of the phrase "resurrecting a soul?"
Look at Vega's smile.
Coverdale suddenly became a little uncertain.
————
The time came to the sixth day.
Vega and Coverdale waited six days outside the small Jersey town without making a move.
Although Vega and Coverdale did not move a single step in these six days, through these six days, Vega has mastered vital information.
First of all.
A temporary airport was built in the small town of Jersey, but it seems that due to the pressure Haussman put on Foster, the Air Corps was transferred to the City of War and has not yet returned.
Lost the formation of war airships.
The only way for the Imperial Army to transport supplies was by land.
According to Vega's observations over the past six days, on average, a logistics force of about 7,000 men came from the war city to the small Jersey town to get supplies in three days. Of these, 3,000 logistics troops are responsible for transportation, and the other 4,000 are reinforced regiments responsible for the security of transport teams.
Of course.
The reason why there is only one reinforced regiment of escorts is because the smaller the number of people, the faster the march, and once you transport supplies, you can't drag a standard division as an escort.
Moreover, this convoy is not aimed at the rebels.
They deployed a garrison only to prevent attacks by refugees and robbers, and against those people, a reinforced regiment was enough.
Vega set his sights on the convoy.
He led his troops to set up ambushes along the way, and according to the calculation of time, tomorrow the rotating convoy of convoys would pass through this national highway, but they would never have dreamed that there would be a rebel army ambushed here on a safe transport route.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
Today is a rainy day, although this kind of weather is extremely unfavorable for the march and battle, but it can effectively prevent the enemy from probing, so it is undoubtedly advantageous for the ambush party.
"The Imperial Army is coming. ”
High up on either side of the canyon, Coverdale saw the sights of the Imperial Army.
"Lord, let's get ready to fight. ”
Coverdale nodded: "Please Your Majesty is here to wait for my good news." ”
Vega watched Coverdale leave, and he continued to stay on this vantage point, observing the entire battle.
Getting closer.
Through the binoculars, Vega could clearly see that the Imperial army was not alert at all.
Some of the professionals and magicians of the Imperial Army don't know if it's out of vanity, or if it's really to keep the rain from wetting their clothes, but they have been turning on their magic defenses against the rain, and the officers don't seem to have any intention of stopping it.
Although mana defense doesn't consume much mana.
But along the way, it is inevitable to consume 1/3 of the mana.
The cost of carelessness is undoubtedly dearly.
When the Imperial Army came into the range of magical strikes, the rebel mages first unleashed a round of magical strikes.
Boom Boom Boom –
The fire elemental roared wildly, and even the dripping rain was evaporated.
The Imperial Army was beaten and dizzy, and the whole team was like a headless fly, and it was impossible to find out from which direction the rebels were attacking.
