Chapter 788: Fortress City
While Kemal was in battle at the Holy Helmet City, preparing to defend against the invasion of the Far Eastern Army, Lin Ye himself led a large army to launch a roundabout attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After three days and two nights of rapid marching, the Far Eastern Army finally arrived at their true destination, the Holy Sword City on the west side of the Holy Helmet City.
However, they did not choose to start a siege on the Holy Sword City first, because there was a problem that they could not escape the past.
That is, they are all cavalry, and they can quickly bypass the Holy Helmet City and come to the outside of the Holy Sword City through long-distance running, and their mobility ability can be said to be incomparable.
However, they could not carry out the siege without siege equipment, even if the excellent craftsmen had already followed the transport ship through the sea controlled by the Demok Federation to land on the south coast of the continent and were heading to Aegis City, but the production of siege weapons was a long process, and it still had to be transported.
Lin Ye couldn't wait so long, he bypassed the Holy Helmet City with lightning speed, and chose the Holy Sword City as his next target.
Due to the fact that their marching speed was too fast, and the Bright Holy City side judged that they would be intercepted outside the Holy Helmet City, they did not expect that he would choose to travel long distances to come to the Holy Sword City, and the Holy Sword City side did not even know about their existence, such an attack could be called incredible.
"It would be nice if we had siege weapons, we would definitely be able to catch those guys off guard, and it would not be impossible to take the Holy Sword City with a thunderbolt, but we couldn't climb the tall walls at all, and they were heavily defended, so it was really tricky and I didn't know what to do. ”
Crouff looked at the outline of the city in the distance, he wanted to rush into the Holy Sword City right now and take the city down, but the fatal weakness of the lack of siege weapons was an insurmountable chasm, and he couldn't think of any way to overcome this obstacle, all he could do was to obey orders.
"If we bring a huge siege weapon, we will lose the biggest advantage, that is, the ability to maneuver, and by the time we come to the Holy Sword City, the other party will have already prepared, and at that time we will lose the opportunity, but what we have to do now is not to siege the city. ”
Lin Ye turned over and dismounted, turned his back to the silhouette of the city in the distance, and continued to walk forward, and the sound of a river could be heard in front of him.
"It's not to attack the city, then we don't hesitate to bypass the Holy Helmet City and come here, what are we going to do, my lord, you only ordered to hurry over, but until now we haven't figured out your intentions, now you can tell us what to do next, right?"
Crouff scratched his head, he was only an officer, not a staff officer, and he was completely confused about the choice of strategy.
"In the case that we don't have the advantage of attacking the city, we can only avoid these weaknesses, as the so-called use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, when attacking the Holy Shield City, we did this, since we can't put the battlefield on top of the strong tower, then put the battlefield in the plain area that we are good at. ”
Lin Ye pointed to the vicinity, the terrain near this is very open, the land is fertile, and it has always been the grain production area of the Church of Light, which belongs to the natural granary.
"Like attacking the Holy Shield City, do you intend to repeat your old trick and trick the people out of the city, and then take advantage of the situation? But the reason why they were able to succeed before was entirely due to the merits of Austin, and now the news of their rebellion must have reached these cities. ”
Crouff became more and more suspicious of this, and it didn't work after a trick was rarely used, but he clearly remembered that Lin Ye had said something similar.
"Letting them come out is not necessarily a lie, it can also be used in other ways, for example, although the city of the Holy Sword City is strong, there is a very fatal weakness, that is, there is no underground water source in the city, all the water is heavily dependent on this holy oracle river in front of us, and it is the harvest season. ”
Lin Ye pointed to the large green fields in front of him, and a farmer who was working in the field noticed something unusual, and immediately ran away.
However, no matter how fast they moved, they couldn't move faster than the cavalry that rode past, and everywhere Lin Ye and the others could see, there were ripe crops, and the growth was gratifying.
"There is no underground water source...... Do you need to rely on the river? What do you mean, sir...... As long as we control this river, the Holy Sword City will face the dilemma of running off the water?, and now is the harvest season, which means that the year's food reserves are about to be exhausted......"
Crouff kept thinking about it, and it was a bit difficult for him to sort out the logical relationships, and it took him a while to understand what was going on.
"Among the four cities that the Church of Light still controls, the Holy Sword City is the only one that does not have an underground dark river, because from the beginning of its construction, it was built in consideration of the long war with the Dark Holy Court. ”
"But as long as you control the drinking water, it is equivalent to controlling their lifeline, so you don't have to trick them out this time, you just need to cut off the river and control this place, and they will naturally take the initiative to go out of the city to seek a decisive battle with us, and I think it may be far more than that......"
Lin Ye looked at the fortress-type city in the distance with a steep mountain at its back, and he squinted, his deep gaze seemed to have penetrated the tall city walls.
"How come we didn't think of that, and I didn't think about this point at all, my lord, you can think about it here, it's really thoughtful, it's really admirable, but it's much more than that, and ......
After Lin Ye's reminder, Kruf suddenly realized, his expression was full of joy, this can solve a big problem.
But soon he became confused again, after all, every time Lin Ye showed such an expression, it meant that a new problem had arisen, which was not a good sign.
"Although Kemal, the lord of Holy Helmet, acted cautiously, as long as he left a small force to contain him, he would never leave the city, would not interfere with the operations on our side, and would not let us fall into the dilemma of being flanked on both sides, but on the other side, that is, on this side, a new enemy appeared. ”
"It's the man Alfonso is about to release in order to reverse the decline, in order to turn the situation around, they are bound to march from this direction, according to the distance from the Holy City, this time will not be too long, definitely not more than five days, that is to say, five days later......"
"We will face a fierce battle of life and death, if we can defeat that enemy, then we will take down the Holy Sword City and the Holy Helmet City in one go, so that the Holy City of Light will only have one Holy Spear City as a barrier, and we will set this land on fire with the momentum of the prairie fire. ”
"But if we fail to defeat that man, then all the efforts we have made so far will be in vain, that is the last thing I want to see, just prepare for a fierce battle here, there are less than five days left for us!"
Lin Ye looked in the direction of the Bright Holy City from afar, his expression worried, the biggest challenge so far is coming!
