Chapter 348: Cutting the land and asking for help
The day after the end of the Yutosh incident.
Once again, the Kingdom army had organized skirmishes of siege warfare, which had become commonplace for the Saint Laurent guards, and had seen them all too many times in the past two months.
Boom Boom Boom β
Flames from the Kingdom Army smashed on the walls of Yves Saint Laurent.
However, these powerful magic did not leave the slightest mark on the city walls, and the fortifications of Yves Saint Laurent were almost immune to all magical attacks, and the kingdom army could only return to the most primitive siege methods in the face of such a giant city.
Non-stop attacking, non-stop harassment, and forming an encirclement with satellite cities as the strategic core.
This is the current battle plan of the Royal Army.
When the supply of Saint Laurent is insufficient, the continuous siege effect will ferment, and the soldiers will inevitably fall into panic, so that the kingdom can easily retake Saint Laurent without spending a large number of troops.
Before that.
In this way, they forced the dynastic army to abandon the city of Saint Laurent.
Vega knew this, of course, but he didn't have a good idea for a while.
Generally speaking, Saint Laurent's supplies are enough for 200,000 troops to consume for two years, but unfortunately the dynasty army has been exhausted in these two years, and when Vega takes back Saint Laurent City, only some supplies left by the previous kingdom army remain.
How long will it take to resupply them?
If you calculate it at 20,000 people, there is no problem for 1 year.
But counting the 50,000 Legion of Radiance, and the second legion of recruits formed again - the Legion of Yves Saint Laurent.
Then the supply can only last for two months at most.
What can you do in two months?
Even if it is recruit training, it will last at least half a year, not to mention that after the recruit training, it still needs to run in actual combat...... and a series of extremely time-consuming things.
"There's really no time. β
Vega looked at the retreating dynastic troops one after another, and he didn't have the slightest idea in his heart.
Thea's departure disrupted all his plans, and now he returned to Saint Laurent as a dead city, besieged like a canary in a huge birdcage, and the only way awaited it was death.
Vega knew it clearly.
The kingdom army must have understood the supply situation in the city, so it has not been in a hurry to launch a general attack.
"How can we relieve the siege of Yves Saint Laurent?"
Vega looked at the gloomy sky: "If you give me enough supplies and time, you will definitely be able to raise an army of 200,000 and let the kingdom feel what a 'reciprocal' war is." β
Turn around and walk down the tower.
Vega walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, and he needed to think carefully about what to do.
"General Vega. β
As soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Xiya greeted him.
Despite her strong spirits, her face could not hide her tiredness and worry, and she asked nervously: "I heard from the soldiers that the Kingdom Army has organized another siege battle, so I am a little worried......
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the safety of Saint Laurent City right now. β
Vega smiled and said, "The kingdom army is just harassing and fighting, they don't have the courage to break their wrists, and they cost 7, 80,000, or even hundreds of thousands to take Saint Laurent City. β
"No, not Yves Saint Laurent. β
"Then His Highness is worried about ......"
Thea heard Vega's voice as if she was deflated, and then said: "There is nothing left, Thea is here this time, and there is another thing that General Vega needs to agree to." β
"Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Vega asked curiously.
Xia hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General Vega, Xia doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, I want to move to the City Lord's Mansion." β
"Your Highness, please think more about this matter. β
Vega frowned and said: "You are a princess, and it is inevitable that you will cause some gossip to live in the City Lord's Mansion by surrendering your identity, and the city defense of the City Lord's Mansion cannot be compared with the Imperial Palace, for your safety, please dispel this idea." β
"I see. β
Xiya's face became more and more frustrated: "Then I will go back to the palace first, and I also ask General Vega to pay more attention to safety, if ...... If you have time, please come to the palace and sit more often, I ...... I ......"
The second half of the sentence was not said in the end.
Xiya left the City Lord's Mansion with a lonely and heartbreaking back, she really, really didn't want to be alone anymore.
Vega watched Thea leave.
Now he is thinking about how to break the enemy, and of course he doesn't have time to brush up on Xiya's favorability.
And in the current situation, Xiya has completely relied on him, and there is no need to brush up any favorability, instead of thinking about the private affairs of these children, it is better to think about how to play the hole card of 'crowning the king' at the best time is more cost-effective.
"Wait!"
A flash of light flashed through Vega's brain: "It's to be crowned emperor!"
Vega suddenly thought of a way to retreat from the enemy.
However, this strategy of retreating from the enemy requires Xiya to be crowned emperor and truly exercise the rights of the emperor of the dynasty to be realized.
As for what is this strategy?
It is indeed a familiar four words - Wei Wei to save Zhao.
The United Kingdom's army has penetrated deep into the dynasty, and now its own defense must be insufficient, and the other countries of the Jialan Continent will not mention it for the time being, after all, distant waters cannot save the near fire, but the empire does border the territory of the kingdom.
What will happen to the United Kingdom when the Empire sends troops from the north at this time?
The United Kingdom would have to withdraw the invading forces of the Holy Dynasty back to defend their country, so that Vega would not only have no trouble recovering all of the Dynasty's territory, but would also gain time to recuperate.
After the rest is completed, regroup the troops.
Vega could have made Thea hand over the military power in the West Bank with an edict, and if he didn't, he would be convicted of rebellion, and he could immediately send troops to unify the entire Holy Dynasty, and he would get the maximum benefit with the least effort.
Easier said than done.
It seems very simple to save Zhao from Wei Wei, isn't it just to find an ally to copy someone else's base camp?
But anything simple rises from country to country is no longer simple.
After all, between countries, there is no profit and no sooner, and the empire has no reason to spend money and money to help the dynasty attack the kingdom, after all, the reconstruction work in the north is enough, and they really don't have the energy to start a war.
As for the allies of the war?
I believe that there will not be anyone who holds such a naΓ―ve idea and thinks that the empire will send troops.
The losses in the eastern part of the empire are still fresh in our minds, and this ally is too 'expensive'.
Therefore, this requires the dynasty to pay a little bit of interest for the empire to have to send troops.
What is this benefit?
For countries, only territory is the only bargaining chip.
In Vega's brain, the rudiments of the plan have appeared.
He decided to grant land to the Empire and sought the Empire to attack the United Kingdom from the north.
But even the land grant does not mean that it will be ceded, and only His Majesty, the orthodox king, can make this promise, and exercise this right.
Only a treaty signed by the king is a contract that has legal effect.
Any unorthodox agreement is not recognized by the people or the international community, and even if it is occupied by brute force, it may at any time be provoked by other countries and civilians under the pretext of peacekeeping and sweeping away the aggressor.
Therefore, this requires the coronation of Sia as emperor.
As long as Xiya is crowned emperor, she has the right to cede territory.
As for which territory to cede?
Vega looked at the West Bank, then let out a 'hey, hey, hey' laugh.
The laughter was so permeating that the guard at the door couldn't help but shudder.
