Chapter 285: Shadows
It's the third day.
In these three days, Vega established a defensive line in the canyon, arranged ambushes, and prepared all the preparations for the blockade battle, and now all that was needed was for the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, to launch an attack on the city of Saya.
As long as the commander of the 4th division, Garru, moves.
The Kingdom reinforcements of Ed and Tali must be sent to reinforce Saya City as soon as possible, and at this time, Vega and the Dynasty Army will need to desperately drag the reinforcements of the Kingdom Army.
According to the plan, the first 3 days are the preparation time for the troops.
On the third day, Garru would launch a fierce assault on the city of Saya, and with a distance of three cities, the letter for help would probably reach the divisions of the two cities a day later. That is, reinforcements from the Kingdom Army will be dispatched on the fourth day.
"Offense. ”
With Garru's order, the war officially began.
Although this is in the era of cold weapons, there is no single way to siege a city in conventional siege warfare.
In addition to the more primitive siege methods such as ladders, siege vehicles, trebuchets...... Leaving aside for the moment, the real highlight is the use of high-level force and war airships.
First of all, magicians and professionals.
Above, there are professionals flying up the walls to climb the castle tower and slaughter, and below there are terrifying elemental magic tearing through the city gates.
However, it must be known that this does not mean that the large army of the besieging party can directly enter the city through the city gate, and ordinary soldiers who can be crushed by overwhelming magic cannot raise their heads.
Therefore, if you want to enter the city gate, you basically need to rely on the corpses to pile up.
Fortunately, however, due to the enemy's lack of air forces, the war airships could bombard the defending troops with impunity, blocking the support lines in the city and providing corresponding cover for the ground troops.
You've had a wall ladder, and I have a good plan.
Although there are many means for the besieging side, there are also corresponding plans for the defending side.
As long as there are a large number of elemental mages at the gates, their magic will cost you dearly for every meter you advance, and the pros on the towers will not be relentless in stopping soldiers and pros who try to climb the towers.
War airships are able to provide air support though.
However, as long as they descend to a certain height, it is entirely possible to be shot down by the wind mage, which also eliminates the possibility of Garruh's air force taking the air to airlift soldiers into the city.
The two sides went back and forth, and they fought for half a catty.
The war lasted until the evening when the two sides made a temporary truce, at which time the commander of the 4th Division, who had already regretted being praised by Vega, did not hesitate to take on the task.
He originally thought that with the presence of the air force, the siege of the city would be nothing more than an easy matter.
However, the stubborn resistance of the kingdom army, and the degree of demoralization of his own troops were beyond his expectations, and it was because of the air force that he fought with the kingdom, if there was no air force......
Not to mention that Garru's side regretted his arrogant behavior.
The Kingdom Army of Saya City was also taken aback by Garru's attack, the intensity of this attack was not at all the same level as the Holy Dynasty's troops, especially the presence of aviation units made the Kingdom Army Commander extremely insecure. Just in case, the commander of the Kingdom Army of Saya City immediately sent a letter of help to the two cities of Ed and Tully.
The letter for help arrived quickly.
Therefore, on the fourth day, Elder City detached all its aviation units and two brigades of land to reinforce Saya City, but was desperately blocked by the Dynasty Army on the way.
People fight for a breath, and the Buddha is really a pillar of incense.
The royal army, which was despised by Vega, burst out with unprecedented courage, and in a flat battlefield, it actually braved the bombardment of war airships to beat the two brigades back to Eddid City in a desperate way, which surprised the kingdom army.
When did the Dynasty Army be able to work so hard?
However, the Kingdom Army did not give up on reinforcing Saya City, although it seemed that they were beaten back into the city, but it was the Kingdom Army that really suffered heavy losses, and within 15 days, they would definitely be able to defeat the two divisions of the Dynasty.
Meanwhile.
Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Tali, which Vega was responsible for blocking, have also been dispatched.
They were marching at a rapid pace towards the Grand Canyon of Tully, and they would probably reach the first line of defense set up by Vega by this evening, and a hard battle was about to begin.
"How far is it from the Tully Grand Canyon. ”
The commander of the 13th Army of the kingdom, the 3rd Airborne Division, Inglil, raised his head and glanced at the dazzling winter sun, today was a rare good weather, so he asked the adjutant that such weather allowed him to march for a long time.
"Report to the division commander, there is still half a day. ”
The adjutant said with some hesitation: "But I do not recommend that you enter the Tully Grand Canyon in the evening, I suspect that there are enemy troops in the canyon secretly ambushed, and it is inevitable that we will lose a large number of troops at that time." ”
"Oh, that's what you think......"
"Personally, I suggest that we camp outside today and enter the canyon early tomorrow morning, and if it is daytime, even if we are ambushed, we can minimize the damage and take corresponding countermeasures. ”
"Hahaha, that's a safe plan indeed. ”
A disdainful expression appeared on Inglier's face: "But, do you think too much of the Dynasty Army or the Imperial Army?" Since I was transferred to the Eastern Front of the Dynasty, whether it is facing the Imperial Army or the Dynasty Army, it can be said that I am invincible and invincible, and I know the command ability of those comfortable poultry, if they dare to ambush, they will definitely have no return. ”
Reveal a bloodthirsty smile.
Ingliel said slowly, "Adjutant, in my eyes, the war here is nothing compared to the northern front of the empire. You have never been chased by millions of soldiers and fled, you have never seen what it means to be an enemy in a city and a soldier to the whole people, and you don't know what it means to use soldiers like a god. ”
There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
Ingrell exhaled slowly, and he sighed leisurely, "Compared to that little ghost, the poultry here are as funny as clowns who tell bad jokes. ”
It was once difficult to turn the sea into water.
In the north of the empire, the former commander of the 1st Airborne Division of the First Army of the Kingdom who had been teased and abused by Vega so much, and began to doubt whether he was suitable for war, how could Ingrid, the commander of the 3rd Airborne Division of the 13th Army, take these troops in the east in his eyes.
Need to know.
In order not to meet Vega, he later applied for a transfer to the east, but he has not tasted defeat so far.
Whether it is facing the Imperial Army or the Dynasty Army, he can fight the opponent's life with his excellent command level, especially in terms of the use of geographical advantages and people's hearts, he has learned the 3% level of Vega.
Perhaps, this is the feeling of loneliness for masters. ”
Inglier, who had regained his confidence in the war, was quite complacent, and ordered the whole army to advance directly towards the Grand Canyon without stopping.
