"Now the main force of the League Standing Army wants to pay attention to here is only afraid of some difficulties, the Colognes have successfully dragged the main force of the League Standing Army into the quagmire, it is not realistic to distinguish the victory or defeat with the Augsburgers in a short period of time, to be honest, the current situation of the Alliance is not very good, although the Famini Empire has reluctantly shelved the dispute with the Alliance, but that is because of the conflict between the Leeds and the Famini, once the Famini people perceive that Augsburg and the Alliance have fallen into a stalemate, I am afraid that the Famini will look at the east like their wolves, and then I am afraid that we will be more troublesome。 Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Niassis sighed softly, this was not a matter of concern to himself, but now in the face of the bad situation in Birja, the alliance obviously does not have extra troops to reinforce this side, and the only hope is probably the Hanoverians, but will the Hanoverian forces be able to resist the attack of the Tang army? Niasis is not sure in his heart.

Billga was of course important to the Hanoverians, but if they were to send reinforcements at this time, they might not be willing to do it. Almost all of the standing armies have been transferred to the south, and the Hanoverians should have about 100,000 troops at their disposal, and in addition to the troops that must be left to defend the imperial capital Bergen, a corps is probably the limit, and the question is whether the Hanoverians dare to put this corps into it without reservation? Defeat in this battle may affect the survival of the entire Duchy of Hanover.

"Look, we have to do our best and obey the destiny of heaven. If the Allies can't come to help, then it depends on the attitude of the Hanoverians, if they can come up with a corps to help, I dare to make this Birja a cemetery for the Tang army, if it is a symbol of 10,000 or 20,000 people to support, then I can only say sorry. Steven was unwilling, the Tang army was powerful, and a White Stork Corps alone could not compete with it, but if there was one more Hanover Corps, with the strength of Bilja's fortified city and the light cavalry of the White Stork Corps, Steven would like to weigh how high the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was.

Cui Wenxiu didn't expect this White Stork Corps to be so difficult, Hu Yanqiu's Seventh Army Corps plus two Ranger Corps were firmly held back by the White Stork Corps in the central part of the province of Destain, and the progress was slow, it took two weeks to clear the obstacles through this section of the mountain, and they arrived in Birja even later than Ying Jianming's Indean Legion, which made Hu Yanqiu's face quite gloomy.

Cui Wenxiu's city defense structure in Bilja has long been seen on the drawings, but after actually arriving in Bilja, Cui Wenxiu realized that his original idea was a little too ideal, the towering castle in front of him and the staggered fortress walls connect the castles one by one, and the fortress walls are not like those cities in the Eastern Continent are mostly made of adobe bricks, almost all of the fortress walls here are made of all the same color of rock, not to mention the hard and quite smooth and smooth, it is almost impossible for the catapult to break this kind of city wall, and the chain of interlaced fortress walls is also different from the square plane walls of the cities in the Eastern Continent, forming multiple attack points, can pose a great threat to the side that attacks the city wall, to win this battle is far from as simple as he originally thought, at this time Cui Wenxiu only understood why the White Stork Corps immediately retreated here after being attacked, this is indeed a good place for sniping.

The Seventh Army and the Indrian Legion have arrived under the city of Birja, plus three Ranger regiments, the strength of the Don Army has been four times that of the opponent, but in this place the Ranger has basically lost its usefulness, the steep Bacla Mountains to the south of Birja block the way, and to the north is the Stana Mountains in the Eastern Province of the Duchy of Hanover, Birja is just on the throat road of the Duchy of Hanover to the West Indjan region, and under the influence of Western architectural styles, Birja has become an experimental field for Western castle-style architecture on the land of Indjan。

Cui Wenxiu, who carefully inspected the geographical terrain, returned to the camp with a gloomy face, the progress in the early stage of the war was not very smooth, the means taken by the White Stork Corps were quite effective, and they successfully delayed the progress of the Tang Army, but their losses were not large, in addition to some gains in the Blue Castle City, in the central part of the Stan and Dexin Province, the Tang Army almost nothing, and even paid a certain price, such a war process is undoubtedly what Cui Wenxiu does not want to see, although Hu Yanqiu is also an old friend, but Cui Wenxiu still gave the speed of progress of the Seventh Army to admonish, and the commanders of the two Ranger regiments were also scolded by Cui Wenxiu, which from the very beginning seemed to show a bad omen for this battle.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing, Cui Wenxiu sat upright, silently staring at the topographic map hanging in the tent, the Destin area is indeed the most complex area in the West Indian region, and one of the main reasons is that the people here believe in the Holy Spirit in religious beliefs, so that they are more emotionally inclined to the western neighbors, every action of the imperial army can quickly react to the hands of the White Stork Army, no wonder the emperor [***] Entering the D'Estein area was like stepping into a dark area of hostility on all sides, and even the information from the scouts and intelligence systems became vague, forcing the army to be cautious at every step of the way.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it, this Bilja city is in front of us, how to take it, you all tell us what you think. I won't say much about the important surname of Birja City, if we take it, we can ensure the stability of the entire West Indo-Ann region, and even threaten the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians, if we can't take it, not only Destain, but also Mana and Dexin and even Fahan may be attacked by the Hansen Alliance at any time, so we are determined to win this city!" Cui Wenxiu's eyes were like torches and he glanced in front of the generals who were sitting under him, " However, this city is not like those cities in our Eastern Continent, not only the shape and material of the city wall are different, but also it is not the plane form we usually see, but criss-crossed, our original siege method may not be suitable, so we carefully planned this battle. ”

"Great marshal, the city of Birja is a polyhedron formed by the connection of multiple castles, both offensive and defensive, in fact, it is more like a hedgehog full of spikes, although it does not look like a city, but it is quite suitable for defense, and the surface of its walls is mostly made of stone bars, it is difficult for catapults to break it, and no matter which side of the attack is easy to be attacked from other directions, if you can avoid attacking the city from the front, the subordinates think it is the best. Ying Jianming first put forward his opinion, after observing the city defense system of Birja City, he secretly breathed a cool breath, this kind of city is not like the city he usually sees, it is purely a large fortress, if you insist on pulling out this nail, I don't know how much it will cost.

"Then what do you mean?" Cui Wenxiu asked coldly.

"This is not yet thought out by the subordinates, but Birja is not a grain-producing area, according to intelligence, because the important port city of Hanover in the southwest is not far from Gdansk, most of their food supplies are shipped from Gdansk, if we can cut off this route, and then take the method of siege," Gdansk is not far from the northern end of the province of Fahan, just at the end of the Bakla Mountains in the coastal area, and it is also the southeast town and the second largest port of Hanover.

"The Allies may not be able to reinforce the Bilja army in a short time, but what about Hanover? If the Hanoverians react, our siege will be meaningless, and their eastern provinces will be able to bring in a steady stream of food by land, even if we besiege Gdansk from the province of Fahan, it will not make much sense. Hu Yanqiu asked rhetorically.

Cui Wenxiu has already heard the meaning of Ying Jianming's words, this guy has a bigger appetite than himself, and he actually came up with such a method, it is undoubtedly a stupid way to besiege Gdansk from Fahan to the north, it is neither suitable nor of great value, the Hanoverians are stationed in Gdansk with 30,000 people, which is also a fortified fortress, and it will not be easier to conquer than Birja.

"Lord Huyan, our legion commander means that we are marching from the north. Zhao Jianfeng couldn't help but interject, on the way here, he discussed with his boss how to break the difficulty in front of him, if Bilja wants to use strong offensive means to take it down, a legion is afraid that half of the men and horses will not be left, it is best to avoid it, but according to their method, then the war will expand indefinitely.

"North?!" Hu Yanqiu was taken aback, and searched the map upwards, if he wanted to bypass the Stana Mountains, he would only have to go west from the Tengger steppe area north of Dexin Province, but that was the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians, could it be that he would go south from the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians? Then this war could turn into a full-scale war with the Hansen Alliance.

"Hmph, the battle has reached this point, we can't let the lives of our brothers fill the bottomless pit of Bilja, God knows how much it will cost to storm it? If you want to solve it, you have to find another way, a detour from the Tengger steppe is the best way, the rangers can cut off the reinforcements of the Hanoverians first, and the infantry are following one after another, while the Hanoverians have not yet reacted, this is the best opportunity, haven't the Hanoverians always wanted to swallow Destain? Then we will ask for the surname to let their Eastern Province also become the territory of the Empire, and at the worst of all, we can force the Hansen Alliance to withdraw from Bilja, otherwise the Eastern Province will become the Western County of the Empire! No, it is too exaggerated to say that the Western County is at most a Western Prefecture!"
