Chapter 408: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
The sun hung high and the fog cleared.
By 9:00 a.m., Vega's army had basically landed.
This landing campaign was undoubtedly very successful, the enemy was obviously blinded by the fog and his decoy fleet, and he sacrificed a total of two regimental troops, and managed to land 200,000 troops on the west bank of the dynasty, preserving the maximum combat effectiveness.
Of course, this success is well deserved.
Originally, Vega's plan was based on the fact that the other party had one air force and two navies, but it happened that at the border of the Imperial Chen Dynasty, the Great Prince's regime also temporarily transferred the air force, which made Vega's plan seem to be easy.
Although the plan to cross the river was quite successful.
But Vega did not smile at all, because crossing the Donbu River was only the first step in a long march, and the real war was not on the Donbu River at all, but on this strange land on the west bank.
To win this war.
Vega is about to disintegrate the 500,000 main forces of the Great Prince, and at the same time take the core cities on the West Bank-
The Great City of Donbu.
Even during the reign of the emperor and the unification of the dynasty, the city was regarded as the secondary capital of the Holy Dynasty, second only to the city of Saint Laurent, and regarded as a sacred place for the subjects of the West Bank.
The city of Donbu is now the capital of the Grand Prince's regime, and his royal palace is also located in it, and 500,000 main troops are stationed in the city. There is also a crystal hub in the city, which is impregnable.
Luckily.
The seeds planted at the beginning finally took root, and after feeling the threat of the empire, the 500,000 main troops originally stationed in the city of Donbu had been dispatched to the city of black gold.
Other words.
In addition to the 50,000 defenders of the city of Donbu, there are still 200,000 main forces that will become Vega's biggest enemy.
The 200,000 main forces were divided into two armies, each with 100,000 troops, and in addition to having the most standard high-level military configuration, each army was also equipped with 50 war airships.
Therefore, if you have to compare it with an army of 200,000.
Although Vega's army also has 200,000 people, the lack of high-level armed forces and the basic zero air force are not mentioned for the time being, and even the quality of the soldiers is 108,000 miles behind.
Therefore, a head-on battle must not be fought.
Once a frontal battle starts, 100 war airships of a single enemy army can fight, and he can't find the north.
Simply this is the lower reaches of the Donbu River, and the location of the Great City of Donbu is in the middle reaches, which means that the main force cannot find Vega's head for the time being, and he can take this opportunity to find a place to stay.
But before that, Vega was going to do something else.
After waiting for all the people and supplies to be removed from the merchant ship, he gave an order to the mage team-
Sabotage of merchant ships.
Boom Boom Boom β
The flames rose into the sky, and the sudden increase in temperature not only distorted the light, but also seemed to evaporate the river.
This huge movement attracted the attention of all the soldiers.
When the wooden merchant ships were destroyed by the flamebursts, the whole army began to stir.
Although everyone knew that even if they repeated their old tricks, they would not be able to return to the West Bank safely, and the enemy would not be able to be fooled again, these thin and defenseless merchant ships were indeed their only hope of returning to the East Coast.
Now Vega burned the ships.
It was completely cut off from their way home.
In this case, where can all the soldiers remain calm?
If it weren't for Vega's prestige in the army, which rivaled that of the gods, there would have been even small-scale bloodshed.
"Excuse me, General, why did you burn the ship?"
A colonel had a hint of anger on his face: "Without these ships, once we are defeated, we don't even have the tools to retreat. β
"Once defeated?"
"Hahaha-"
Vega's unbridled laughter echoed to the extreme, and the whole scene was actually stabilized by Vega's laughter: "Everyone, soldiers of your dynasty and empire, please tell me, will we be defeated in this western expedition?"
The audience was silent.
No one gave an answer, because most people knew how serious the situation was, and the strength of the west bank of the dynasty was far from being comparable to theirs.
"Why be silent?"
"I repeat, why are you silent?"
Vega gave the whole army a positive answer loudly: "I will tell you, no! This war will never be lost! If you insist on asking why, then there is only one reason I can give youββ"
"Because I'm Vega!"
"Vega Kareni!"
That's right, their commander was none other than Vega!
This is the legendary general who has terrified the kingdom, and this legendary general who has never been defeated in all directions is their commander.
So still have questions?
Not at all!
There are thousands of reasons for victory, but this army does not need them, and for them, a 'Vega Kareni' is more convincing than a thousand reasons.
Vega was satisfied that the army's spirit had reunited.
Pointing to the burning ships, he said: "I would like to ask you to remember that we are a victorious army, and I have come here for one purpose, which is to defend the dignity of the king, to behead the traitors, and to plant the banner of victory on the tower of the great city of Donbu." When we return to the East Coast, they will greet us like heroes. β
"Tell meβ"
"Do these humble things deserve to be our heroes?"
Vega stretched out his arms and said loudly: "If we win this battle, we will definitely open the way for the flagship, and the airship will defend it, what is the use of keeping such a simple thing? If this battle is lost, I will be ashamed of Your Majesty and the hundreds of millions of subjects of the dynasty, so what kind of face will you have to return to the east coast to meet the old and young at home?"
"Please lead us to victory!"
"Victory, victory, victory!"
When Vega's words fell, the whole army chanted victory, and the morale was unprecedentedly high.
Because Vega made them understand their situation and their mission.
An army without a goal and mission is a soulless army, and even if they participate in a war, they will only be confused, and when they see that the enemy is too strong, they will even collapse without a fight.
But an army with a sense of mission and understanding of its own situation is different.
Even in the face of enemies who are several times more powerful, they clearly know that they are engaged in a heroic battle, and they are burdened with the glorious mission of the rise and fall of the entire dynasty.
They can't afford to fail.
If they fail, they won't even have a chance to return to the East Coast.
And even if there is a chance to return to the East Coast.
And what kind of face did they have to face the king and the wives of the family, young and old?
Vega gave every soldier a reason to win, whether for the king, or for the dynasty, or for glory, or for dignity, or for family, or to be able to live......
Whether it is a person of high moral character who serves the country.
It doesn't matter if it's a despicable villain who chooses to join the army in order to make a living.
Their reasons are all included, and Vega really made the whole army see 'victory' as the only goal through this breakthrough.
Therefore.
This battle will be won.
