Chapter 637: Strategic Significance

The city of Nassiir.

The main force of 800,000 troops of the Holy Dragon Kingdom recaptured this strategic point in the western section of the border.

It was not so much a great effort to retake the city of Nasisir as it was an empty city before they arrived, when the enemy's army of 300,000 fled in despair, and by the time they arrived, Nasisir had become an empty city.

Other words.

They didn't even see the enemy's face, and the enemy disappeared again into the Kareni Mountains.

Although, in general, it was to take back the city of Nassisir.

But Augustus, the commander of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, couldn't be happy in any way, because it was all too easy, and it was easy for him to doubt the truth of the matter.

Think about it.

If the enemy is the United Kingdom, then everything is very easy to explain.

Because when fighting against the United Kingdom, those timid armies are likely to abandon the city and flee as long as they hear their names, and this kind of thing has happened to them more than a dozen times, and it is not uncommon.

But this time was different.

Their enemy was Vega Saint Laurent.

What is 100% certain is that the existence that has beaten them out of the psychological shadow, who is obviously short in stature, but is as formidable as a giant, is absolutely impossible to be afraid of them, let alone fight first.

Augustus......

Smells of conspiracy.

But what annoyed Augustus was that although he knew what the enemy was planning, he was unable to guess even the slightest clue despite his exhaustion, and this feeling of madness drove him almost crazy.

For three days, Augustus became suspicious.

He sent a large number of reconnaissance troops, but the news he received was that 300,000 invading troops had actually returned to the Jialan Empire......

Unbelievable.

Could it be that the little imp suddenly found out in his conscience that he did not want to invade their land?

In the past few months of preparation, is it actually to tease them?

Is there really such a boring person in the world?

Of these three questions, Augustus didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

It was at this moment that a message brought by the scout proved his inner guess-

The city of Gasiri fell.

When he heard the news, Augustus sat down in his chair and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Although he guessed that Vega might be carrying out some kind of secret operation, he never imagined that the city of Gaciri, which he thought was the safest, had fallen, and that imp was not in the extreme west at all, but in the extreme east.

"What the hell is going on!"

Augustus slapped the table with a slap, the anger in his chest almost bursting through his body.

"Report and report to the Legion Commander ......"

The soldier said tremblingly, "Enemy...... The enemy's main force has been hidden in the Gacilian Ridge, and the 300,000-strong army that had previously attacked the city of Nasisir was the Jialan army that the enemy used to attract our attention. ”

This piece of information is rotten.

However, it was not until three days after the fall of the city of Gaciri that the Holy Dragon Kingdom received this information.

"Actually...... Right under our noses......"

Augustus held his head in pain, and kept repeating: "Your Majesty, this battle is not my fault, it is our intelligence system that failed to bring me such important news." ”

Would he have made such a mistake if he had known earlier that it was the Jialan Army and not the Dynasty Army that occupied Nasisir City?

Categorically not.

It's a pity that the Holy Dragon Kingdom has always regarded itself as a very high quality of its army, and has neglected the construction of the intelligence system.

Although an intelligence system had been established at the suggestion of Augustus last time, the rudimentary intelligence system was ridiculous and could not be used in a war anytime soon.

The Essence of the Holy Dragon Kingdom...... Too bad.

This was Augustus' first taste of how important intelligence systems really were to warfare.

Without the intelligence system, the army is like being blindfolded and fighting, and the enemy can do whatever he wants with you.

Bang!

The door to the command room was violently kicked open.

The commander of the Silver Dragon Legion, Palitzer Gunir, who came with troops to reinforce from the national capital Dragon City, said angrily: "Augustus, what is going on! Why did the city of Gasiri fall!"

"Are you trying to put the blame on me?"

Augustus glared at Palitzer and said, "Let me tell you, once Your Majesty is to blame, you and I will be blamed, this war is ultimately caused by our rudimentary intelligence system, and the person in charge of the intelligence system is not Your Excellency." ”

"Hu, nonsense!"

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of Pa Lize, who came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt: "Obviously, it was because of your wrong decision that this result was caused, and it has nothing to do with me, I just brought troops from the national capital to support you." ”

"Is that so?"

Augustus sneered: "If you are still in the imperial capital, I think Your Majesty has already dismissed you from your post and investigated, don't forget that our Majesty is also from the army, don't think that he can't see the root cause of the defeat of the war." ”

This time Palitzer did not refute.

He paced back and forth, then looked at Augustus and said: "Your Excellency Augustus, I apologize for the previous faux pas, and now the top priority is to take back control of Gaciri City, you should know the importance of Gaciri City, with Gacili City as a point, but it can directly threaten the existence of the national capital Dragon City." ”

That's right.

If the Holy Dragon Kingdom set the capital in the former capital of the dynasty, Bauhinia City, then they don't need to panic so much, because the strategic location of Gasiri is at most effective in the south, but in order to connect overseas and the mainland, they have set up the capital in the Dragon City, and changed the name to the Holy Dragon City.

From the map.

The Holy Dragon City is located just above the city of Gaciri, which is to the northeast.

One city in the south and one city in the north, almost in a straight line, can be reached in about ten days if you march quickly.

At that time, Foster Nolan was based on Gasiri and directly threatened the City of Dragons, and taking the City of Dragons could open a sea route and further threaten the city of Bauhinia, the capital of the kingdom.

This is what the city of Gasiri is all about.

If you get a strategic city like Nasisir City, you will find that you will have to go around in a circle, and you still have to find a way to get Gasiri.

And the status of the Holy Dragon City is self-evident.

First of all, as the national capital, it is the desire of the army, the city is in the army, and the city is in a panic.

Secondly.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom came from overseas, overseas was their retreat, and the Holy Dragon City was the only entry and exit point connecting their hometown and the mainland, once they lost the Holy Dragon City, it meant that their only retreat was directly cut off.

Totally conceivable.

The way home was cut off, and the whole army ...... No, what kind of despair will the whole country fall into.

Therefore, both Augustus and Palitzer understood that the city of Gasiri must be recaptured, not only for the sake of atonement, but also for the safety of the Holy Dragon City.
