Chapter 538: The Purpose of the Attack
When Lin Ye learned from Leo's mouth that the Imperial Army was heading south to attack the Rose Family, he had already foreseen the arrival of the Griffon Fortress today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that he's so confident, after all, things are always full of uncertainties, but no matter how many variables there are, there are only two possibilities.
One is to achieve the set goal, then the next thing to do is to move on to the next step until the final goal is achieved step by step.
The other is that he fails to achieve the set goal, so the next thing he has to do is to adjust his strategy until he reaches that goal.
So before he went south, he had thought about what he would do after defeating the Imperial Central Army, as far as the situation after the Imperial Civil War was concerned.
Once one of the three elites, the Imperial Central Army, was defeated, the other elite cleared the remnants of Layton on the western side of the empire.
In this case, the hinterland of the empire will be empty, and in Lin Ye's strategic vision, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.
After all, the empire has deep roots, and once Rhaegar recovers and successfully controls the major provinces, it won't be long before it rises again.
At that time, it will be very difficult to attack the empire again, and the Far East will inevitably fall into a bad situation of passive defense.
So he must firmly seize this opportunity, this is the only chance he can grasp the initiative in the war, he aimed at the royal capital from the beginning!
But if you want to enter the royal capital, you will inevitably have to face the natural barrier of the griffin fortress, with the military strength of the Far East, it is not impossible to capture the griffin fortress, but this will lose a lot of strength, such a price is too great to bear.
Even if he fights, he will not have the strength to march towards the royal capital again, which is definitely more than worth the loss for Lin Ye.
Second, it is impossible for the royal capital to turn a blind eye to the Far Eastern Army's siege of the Griffon Fortress, if Rhaegar sends reinforcements.
Then the griffon fortress will become the grave of the soldiers of the Far East, and it is very likely that this fortress will not be able to be defeated until death, and the price is too heavy!
For these two reasons, he abandoned his intention to confront the Griffon Fortress head-on, in favor of his journey to the Rose family territory in the south.
The route of the march over the Taron Mountains was quickly outlined on the map, and if the surprise attack was successful, he would be able to cross the province of Ironwall.
The back of the Griffon Fortress will be exposed to his eyes, and if he moves fast enough, he will have a chance to take down the barrier of this royal capital!
"This is the ultimate goal of our journey, and it is not easy to do this, and we have made great sacrifices. ”
Lin Ye looked up at the hillside, although they were lower on the terrain and the terrain was not in their favor, but the defenses on this side of the griffon fortress were poor.
Compared with the tall, sturdy and treacherous city walls on the front, one is in the sky and the other is underground, which is not too easy.
This little geographical disadvantage is completely negligible, and the most important thing is that they have an absolute advantage in numbers.
"But soon we will prove that all these sacrifices have been worth it, and we will achieve an unprecedented feat, not only conquering the Taron Mountains, but also taking the Griffon Fortress, which is said to never fall, and all of our names will be engraved on the monument!"
Lin Ye's eyes were like torches, and he couldn't help but tremble, he had endured too long to wait for this moment, during the long march.
Countless times he faced the dilemma of defeat, whether it was fighting the Taryon Mountains or fighting the elite cavalry of the Empire.
If there is a problem in the middle of the way, he will fall into a desperate situation from which he will never recover, he is also a human being, he is also afraid of death, he is also afraid.
It's just that he can't show it in front of the soldiers, because he is the pillar of this army, and everyone can fall, but he can't.
He is the banner of the army, as long as he is there, he will be high-spirited and invincible, and they can conquer anyone in their eyes!
Now that he is here, his eyes reflect this mountain range, and he will conquer it, and no one can stop his determination.
"My lord, the enemy has rushed over, you give an order, this is our ultimate goal, the final battlefield of a thousand miles of battle, as long as you give an order, we will definitely kill these enemies without leaving a piece of armor, the famous griffin army is just our military merit!"
Lancelot's face was frosty, and it was a long enough journey from the Far East to Rose City, and from Rose City to Griffon Fortress.
But anyone who can survive this long journey, even an ordinary soldier, will surely temper his iron will.
Their killing intent is deep enough that no matter what enemies they are about to face, there is only one thing they have to do.
That is to defeat everything in front of them with a penetrating will, they are warriors, heroes, witnesses of history and writers!
"Griffon Legion......? Wait a minute!"
Just as Lin Ye was about to give the order to attack, he suddenly noticed something, and he immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stand still.
Soldiers poured down the hillside, charging at the thousand-mile army, even though they had been out of battle for a long time.
But driven by a sense of honor, they still have the determination to kill the enemy, and the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing, only a little bit shorter.
They were still a little bit away from being able to fulfill their long-cherished wishes! The battlefield they had dreamed of had finally resurfaced in front of their eyes!
"Brothers, rush, I've been looking forward to this scene for too long, and the warrior should die on the way to the charge, not in the thatched hut. ”
"What are you talking about, I'm still waiting to drink the wine to celebrate the victory, how can I lose to these posterior imps who don't know what honor is. ”
"Teach us how powerful these old guys are, we will defend our great honor to the death, you are still too far away!"
The veterans' faces were ruddy and high-spirited, and what they carried was not exactly the mood they had when they first went out on the expedition?
They revel in their addiction, this is the life they should live, and those twenty years are simply feeding the dogs.
It would have been nice if the war had come sooner, but it was not too late, they would have squandered their blood and sweat!
However, at this moment, another noisy voice sounded behind them.
"Hmmm, no, all stopped, what's going on, that voice...... Who's opening the gates? Damn, who's opening the gates?"
Monte was all too familiar with the shrill voice, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to stop the charge.
He jerked his head back to see a young man standing on the hillside, looking at them condescendingly.
A large number of soldiers poured in from below, dressed in new armor and holding shining weapons.
They were young, they were unstoppable, and they entered the griffon fortress with such a calm attitude.
How did the Griffon Fortress fall?
