Burn one's ship.

After giving the whole army a reason to fight for victory.

Vega ordered the whole army to march downstream to the city of Jaco according to a pre-planned route.

The city of Jaco is a city between medium and small, with a Jaco forest nearby, surrounded by mountains, and although it is not easy to march on a large scale, it means that the city is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Due to the number of bomb shelters in the city, Vega intended to use the small city as a base camp on the West Bank.

After all, the enemy has 100 war airships.

If he didn't find a city with a bomb shelter, then his army of 200,000 would be a live target, and the terrain around Yaco City and the large number of bomb shelters in the city were natural footholds.

With the goal in place, the motivation of the whole army is very strong.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the soldiers, Vega came to the vicinity of the forest of Jaco City in the evening of the same day.

Due to the slow pace of the large-scale march in the forest, Vega personally allocated a division as the vanguard to take the city of Jaco first.

In general.

It is impossible for non-strategic cities and important passes to be garrisoned by a standing army.

Although this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not an important hub city, and even if it is lost, it will not pose a threat to the entire downstream war situation, and can only be used as a storehouse for grain in the war.

Even if it is used as a warehouse, it is a bit of a chicken rib.

The geographical nature of being surrounded by the Yaco forest and surrounded by mountains not only led to the slow pace of the march, but also the speed of transporting grain. It's like a sharp-spouted bottle, it's safe but hard to get in and out, and once it's locked up by the enemy, it becomes a dead city.

But the newcomer to Vega wants safety.

If even the life of the family cannot be guaranteed, then what is there to talk about taking the West Bank and unifying the dynasty.

Therefore, he planned to use the city as his base camp and radiate to the surrounding towns, first following the Saint Laurent defense system and establishing several basic lines of defense.

Even if it's Vega, the traverser.

They all admired the Saint Laurent defense system that the dynasty had built up over several generations, a system that was so perfect that it was almost impeccable, and it could be said that as long as the user was not too stupid, he could make the enemy doubt his life.

Therefore, for Jaco City, no matter how big the price is, Vega is bound to win.

But when the Viga vanguard arrived, the white flag of surrender had already been hung on the tower.

It seems that Jaco City really has no other choice but to surrender, after all, you can't expect a group of vigilantes who only bully civilians to fight the hundreds of thousands of regular troops in Vega.

And at the end of the day.

In such a secondary city, the number of security forces is less than 1,000, but the high-level force in the Vega army is more than 1,000.

Therefore, this kind of war is not even a cat and mouse, there is really no need to fight, if you really want to seriously describe this war, it can probably be described as a prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex crushing an ant, it is estimated that this tyrannosaurus does not even know when he will kill his opponent.

After taking the city of Jaco.

Vega surrounded the city, conquering 8 cities in a row over the next week.

These eight cities are still small towns, but they have formed a defensive circle similar to the Saint Laurent defense system, and the establishment of this defensive circle is also a real symbol of Vega's foothold on the west bank.

Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground.

The nine cities in Vega's hands now are equivalent to a foundation, and with a stable foundation, it can naturally be built layer by layer, so a week later, Vega set his sights on the first strategic target city-

The City of Great Stones.

This is a major city in the lower reaches of the Donbu River, it is like an extraterrestrial boulder suppressing the lower reaches of the Donbu River, and behind his huge body is a plain, running two huge granary cities, enough to supply a million troops to sweep the entire downstream area.

This is where the name of the megalithic city comes from.

As long as this megalithic city is stable downstream, no one will be able to jump anywhere.

Now this important city is the closest to Vega, and it can directly attack the city in less than 3 days with a full-speed march, so Vega wants to truly unify the West Bank, and this city is a threshold that he can't get around no matter what.

And now Vega is short of food.

He was determined to go west without returning, so he only brought one-time supplies, the supply line on the river did not exist at all, and the enemy's navy was not completely annihilated, and all his supplies could only last for 3 months.

Other words.

If he can take the Great Stone City in 3 months, he will have no worries about the future.

If he can't take the Great Stone City within 3 months, then his army will collapse without even a fight.

Therefore, this megalithic city, Vega is bound to win.

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Due to the underdeveloped transportation of the base camp Yako City, in order for the whole army to get sufficient supplies, the supply line will not be broken.

Vega ordered in advance to move grain and grass to a small city on the right rear of the frontline city, and used this small city of Nora as the granary of this war, and entered the preparation stage of war in a real sense.

Dungbu Ayutthaya, the council chamber of the royal palace.

Of course, Vega's fanfare could not be concealed from the West Bank government, and the defenders of the Boulder City immediately reported the battle to the Grand Prince, and the Grand Prince immediately summoned a group of generals to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the latest battle report downstream. ”

The Grand Prince announced the battle report: "Due to the mistake of that fool of Felix, a rat managed to infiltrate our territory, and now this rat not only occupies the nine small cities downstream, but also has the audacity to set its sights on Boulder City, so I would like to ask you what you think about this matter?"

"The lower official believes that this matter is not enough to worry about. ”

A staff officer with the rank of lieutenant general stood up and said: "The city of the Giant Stone is located downstream, with 30,000 soldiers of our 24th Army stationed, which can completely withstand a group of recruits who have not even been on the battlefield, after all, what we are fighting is not a siege battle, but a defense battle." ”

"Your Excellency's words are not true. ”

"After all, the enemy army has 200,000 soldiers, and even if they are new recruits, they should not be underestimated. ”

"We are defending the city, not fighting a frontal battle, nor is it a siege war!"

"This is reasonable, our main focus now should be on the Black Gold City, and when the situation in the Black Gold City is stable, it is not too late to go back and deal with this little mouse downstream. ”

The council chamber was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Some advocated sending troops downstream immediately, while others felt that there was no need to send the main force at all, and that the remaining 200,000 main forces should be left behind in case the Black Gold City needed it.

The eldest prince saw that everyone was not in agreement, so he looked at Theon: "May I ask the old general what he thinks?"

Theon, the veteran general with the highest prestige, finally stood up when he heard this.

He didn't say anything long, but simply said to the eldest prince: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and the lower officials are willing to lead the army south to the boulder and pacify the downstream." ”
