Chapter 623: The Hunter and the Prey

Just when the two attacking legions broke through most of the territory in the south, the Iron Wall Fortress finally ushered in the first wave of enemies they needed to face, of course, this is not the legions that just set off from the Blue Blood Imperial Capital, but from the army of a lord who is closest to here, in this world, the predecessor of the Blue Blood Empire was a small border country, so it was able to grow to the current point It is entirely due to the heavy reward and bravery, coupled with the greed of the nobles and the royal family's desire to expand the land on the map.

Therefore, the current Blue Blood Empire is actually similar to the era of the early Western Han Dynasty, the imperial family has a huge land and an army that crushes all the nobles, but these are not pinched in the hands of one person, but the big head is in the hands of the emperor, and the others are under the prince, The royal nobles divided up, as for the fiefs of other nobles, they were sandwiched between the territories of these royal families, so that the emperor had the most food and people to ensure the stability of the regime, and the princes' territories were divided one after another, which not only ensured the prince's wealth, but also ensured that he could not rebel, after all, the territory is not in the same place, and you will be directly extinguished by the surrounding nobles as soon as you rebel!

And the nobility is the same, if they want to rebel, then the first threshold is to overthrow the royal and noble territories at their doorstep, so under the mutual balance of the three parties, the empire has been stable for nearly hundreds of years, although it is not really a rebellion, but it can basically completely destroy the rebels.

And it is precisely because of this that when the news of the loss of the two fortresses was known, those nobles and other members of the royal family were all happy, after all, it was originally a north-south artery, and it was naturally controlled by the emperor in his own hands, but now the fortress has been lost because of carelessness, so as long as he can grab it, then it is no longer a dream to split the territory and seal the territory, at least occupy the south and call it a lonely thing to consider! (Because they have always treated the legions of the human kingdom as rebellious peasant armies, these meat eaters have never known that their enemies are actually regular legions)

As a result, soon one of the nearest marquis immediately sent troops with a roar, intending to take the opportunity to break through one of the fortresses and use it as a bargaining chip in his own hands, he understood that he could eat the south with his own strength, and fight against the north, west, and north of the entire empire. The strength of the East is unrealistic, so as long as he wants to take it down as a bargaining chip, anyway, as long as he fights down, regardless of whether the empire is divided in the future or not, he can gain benefits by sacrificing the fortress, so this goods did not hesitate to send troops, and blindly sent troops without a trace of reconnaissance in advance!

In this regard, if Wang Fan is here, then he can only comment on the other party's ignorance and fearlessness, after all, if he has really explored and studied it carefully, then he can see that the fortress he wants to attack is not a soft persimmon, but an iron-walled fortress guarded by a regular army.

It's a pity that there is no if, the marquis directly personally put on the plan to go into battle to come to a personal expedition, this is obviously inherited the wildness flowing in the blood of his father's ancestors, but unfortunately did not inherit the wisdom of the ancestors, so although he has ambitions, it is a pity that he does not have the ability to realize his ambitions, so his failure this time is doomed!

In the face of such a fragile opponent, the Iron Wall Legion has no intention of defending, after all, if such a weak opponent still blindly defends, then it is not good that he will run away directly when he is killed and wounded more than half, and this is not the result that the Iron Wall Legion wants, after all, the annihilation of the enemy in a war and the defeat of the enemy in a war are two completely different concepts, and it is the same as the meaning of hurting the enemy's ten fingers is not as good as cutting off the enemy's one finger, after all, only in this way can he stand up and make some of the surrounding wall-riding factions, The wall grass will not join the opponent's large-scale counterattack war, otherwise, the enemy army with so much cannon fodder will fight very hard even if the Iron Wall Army has a strong city.

Therefore, the Iron Wall Legion needs a dignified annihilation war to stand upright, and this marquis also happened to hit the muzzle of the Iron Wall Legion, for the Iron Wall Legion, originally according to their plan, they need to fight with the regular army who came to fight in a dignified manner, and to win cleanly, and at the same time their own losses can not be too large, so as to deter those who ride the wall, but now with the behavior of this marquis's gun to shoot the first bird, the price of the Iron Wall Legion is much smaller, after all, the private army does not have the combat effectiveness and equipment of the regular army, unless the dynasty has come to the end, so that the combat effectiveness and equipment of the local private army may exceed that of the regular army.

Obviously, although the Blue Blood Empire is now rotten, the imperial power at least overpowers the aristocracy, but the nobles, the royal family, The relationship between civilians has become extremely bad, this empire will eventually be doomed to be destroyed under the anger of the people, don't think that the fantasy world can suppress hundreds of thousands of people by itself, think that an empire can be unbreakable, in fact, it is not all like this, after all, the civilian population base is huge, plus there are poor people in the army and even among the strong, as long as the oppression is too much, then those noble and strong people may not necessarily be able to suppress the geniuses of these civilians.

Therefore, when the Marquis's army began to attack the city, they did not think that the Iron Wall Legion actually only left some squads and all the baggage logistics troops to support the scene on the city wall, in fact, the other legion forces were all scattered in some camouflaged hills and flat tunnels near the city, and because they always believed that the other party was just a rebel army that they had never heard of, the Marquis's army did not carefully send scouts to reconnoiter the surroundings.

Coupled with the fact that the hiding place was too unexpected, it was even less able to keep the Marquis's army on alert, after all, could you imagine that your enemy was actually in the hole at your feet? (The Japanese often used this method to fight against Britain and the United States, first burying themselves in the soil, only relying on a bamboo tube to breathe, and when the British and American troops arrived, these British and American troops could not find the danger that was close at hand, and as a result, after people walked over, the Japanese ghost animals would run out of the ground to copy the back road, simple and effective, but there was no discipline, of course, the plaster flag man itself was that kind, so it didn't matter to them what the festival was!)
