"There is no other way!" Shangguan Xiu said: "Instead of withdrawing our troops now and fighting a battle with unknown results, our army should continue to move north according to the original strategy and go straight to Goro." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut Your Majesty can't help it, and it's the best way for me to go south alone to rescue. I can't guarantee that I can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but I am still very sure that I will only save His Majesty!"

Although everyone present felt that Shangguan Xiu's idea was too risky, in terms of the current situation, it seemed that there was no other better solution.

Shangguan Xiu is a man of action, and when he made a decision, he immediately went to implement the action.

Before leaving, he brought Meng Qiuchen and Luo Ren to discuss with him about military affairs during his absence.

Now the situation of the Zhenjun army is not optimistic, Theolun's supply line has not been broken, but the supply from the Wind Country to Besa has been cut off.

At present, the Solan city-state can still send some food and medicine to the Zhenjun army, but the most needed ammunition for the war, the Solan city-state is completely unable to provide it.

It's not that the Solan city-state doesn't want to help the Zhenjun army, but in terms of ammunition, the Solan city-state can't help if it wants to. The specifications of the ammunition of the Besa Army are completely different from those of the Wind Army, and no matter how much is delivered, it will be a waste to the Wind Army.

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "In this battle, if our army wants to win, the key is to fight quickly. After crossing the Pingxue Mountain, don't entangle more with the city-state of Kinsk in Tallinn, try not to fight if you can, go directly through the past, and go straight to Goro. Only in this way will our army have a chance to trap the king of Besa in the city of Goro!" Words ||Grid can be viewed free of charge

Luo Ren was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Xiu thinks Peter will abandon the city and flee?" If he does this, it will be too great a blow to the prestige of the city-state of Besa!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It is human nature to be afraid of death. Peter is also human, and if he is given too much hesitation, the devil knows what choice he will make. ”

Death is not really terrible, the real horror is waiting for death to approach.

Rationally, King Peter should have defended the capital to ensure the throne of the House of Pros and the dominance of the city-state of Besa, but once the army of Zhenjun was held back in Tallinn and Peter was given enough time to hesitate, no one could guarantee that his death-fearing nature would not prevail over reason.

Moreover, the battle in the Tallinn area will also greatly consume the few grains, grass and ammunition of the Zhenjun army. In any respect, it was extremely unfavorable to the Zhenjun army.

Meng Qiuchen could understand Shangguan Xiu's concerns, and he also agreed with his words, he nodded solemnly, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, your lord, your subordinates know what to do, and you will never let your adults down!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled with relief, many times, he thought that Meng Qiuchen was the savior sent to him by God, with Meng Qiuchen here, it didn't matter if he was in the army or not, whether it was formulating a major policy and strategy, or commanding the three armies to fight the enemy, Meng Qiuchen's ability was undoubted, and he was not weaker than him.

It can be said that there is Meng Qiuchen in the Zhenjun army, to a large extent, it is to liberate Shangguan Xiu, and he does not have to stay in the army all the time to preside over the overall situation. For Shangguan Xiu, he needs such a powerful assistant to assist him too much.

It turned out that the decision of the Jungjun army not to retreat to Gabul was quite correct. It is true that the battle in Gabul did not drag on for as long as two or three months.

At present, the wind army led by Tang Ling is all retreating in the main city of Gabri, Sayre City. There were no more people in the city of Sayre, and the city was full of wind troops.

And the Besa army, led by Heracgus and Adams, numbered more than 1.5 million people, surrounded the not very large city of Sayre with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be drained.

Both Herakgus and Adams knew in their hearts that there was not much time left for them in this battle, first, the Zhenjun army did not retreat, and they were still eyeing the capital, and they had to take the city of Sail before the Zhenjun army reached Goro, capture the emperor of the Wind Country, and force the Wind Country to withdraw the Zhenjun army to end the war.

Second, the central army in the Windy Country is heading towards the border between the two countries with all its might, and will soon enter Nashikiya and enter Gabul, and once the reinforcements from the Windy Country arrive in time, it means that their operation has completely failed.

Now, the urgency and nervousness in the hearts of the Besa army are not inferior to those of the wind army.

After trapping the Feng army led by Tang Ling in Sail City, the Besa Army launched an all-out onslaught on Sail City.

The siege of more than a million troops, the defense of more than 600,000 troops, and the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded 2 million.

The two sides did not reserve anything, put all their ammunition and troops into the battlefield, and the fierce fighting that followed for several days left the city full of holes and incomplete skin, and the outside of the city and inside the city were full of large and small craters.

The one who personally commanded the Feng army to fight in the city was the great general Wu Peng. At the critical juncture of life and death, Wu Peng's ability was finally stimulated, leading the Feng army and repelling dozens or hundreds of attacks by the Besa army.

I don't know how many times the city defense on all sides was broken by the Besa army, but in the end, Wu Peng led the wind army to take it back again and again.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Peng also personally led the Wind Army and smashed a night attack by the Templar Army.

Knowing that the Templars were good at sneak attacks, and that the fierce battles that had taken place over the past few days, and that their soldiers had suffered heavy casualties and were physically and mentally exhausted, it was very likely that the Bessa Army would seize this opportunity to launch a night attack on the city of Sel.

Wu Peng deliberately sold a flaw and left a loophole in the city defense of Sail City. During the day, the Bessars did not seem to have developed this vulnerability, but in the middle of the night, the Templars took the opportunity to attack, and it was Heracgus who led the Templars.

The 20,000 Templars who participated in the night attack broke through the outer defense line of Sail City in one fell swoop and attacked the Sail City, but just when they thought that the Wind Army was unprepared and their own sneak attack had been successful, countless Wind Troops poured out from all directions, and what was even more terrifying was that where they broke into the city, there were all cannonballs buried under the surface.

The Wind Army ignited the cannonballs underground, and for a while, the feet of the Templar Army exploded as if they had exploded, and the shells exploded one after another, and the torn corpses and flesh that were blown up flew all over the sky, and even the spirit armor of Heracgus was shattered in many places, which shows the ferocity of the explosion at that time.

In the end, it was Heracgus who led the remnants of the Templar army, and in the encirclement of the wind army, they managed to break through the siege, but this night attack caused the 20,000 Templar army to lose more than half, which was a big loss for the Besa army.

It was after the failure of this night attack that the Besa army finally realized that although the Wind Army was trapped in the city of Sayre, although its strength was far inferior to its own, the combat power and strategy of the wind army should not be underestimated, and the battle of Sail City would be far more difficult than they expected.

But a small victory was not enough to reverse the situation between the two sides, the wind army was still in a desperate situation, the Besa army was still firmly in the initiative, and the follow-up army of the Besa army was still withdrawing from Duki, entering Gabul, and devoting itself to the battle of Sayre.

This battle was fought for more than half a month, the fourth, fifth, and sixth corps of the Feng Army were trapped, more than half of the casualties, the tenth and eleventh corps, only the number remained, and the eighteenth corps, the casualties were not large, and the reason why the casualties were small was because it had not yet been put into the main battlefield, and the remnants of the seventeenth corps had less than 30,000 troops to fight.

This is the total strength of the current Wind Army, and when all of them are added together, there are only 300,000 left. The strength of the Besa army has not been significantly reduced, and it has remained above one million, and one legion was crippled, and it was immediately withdrawn and the subsequent legions were taken up to maintain continuous pressure on the city of Sayre.

At this point in the battle, the casualties of the soldiers were not the most lethal threat to the wind army, the real fatal factor was that the food, grass and ammunition in the city were already running out.

The army was besieged, there were no supplies to speak of, the food was eaten one bite and one bite was missing, and the ammunition was also used a little less.

The soldiers fighting at the front have reached the point where they want to remove the projectiles from the corpses of the dead soldiers on both sides of the enemy.

In the face of such a desperate situation, no matter how strong Wu Peng's ability is, it is useless. He could only order the whole army to abandon the defense line outside the city, and all retreat to the city to defend themselves, and resist the attack of the Besa army with a shrinking iron bucket formation.

But even if the Wind Army retreats to defense, the effect is not obvious, and in the face of the crazy attack of the Besa Army day and night, the Wind Army is only left to the point of struggling to support.

It was at this time that the Battle of Sayre took a turn for the better.

The 2nd, 7th, 8th, and 9th armies of the Windy Country, a total of four corps, are advancing towards Nashikya and are advancing at full speed towards Gabri, and the 1st and 3rd armies of the Gunjing Army are also marching towards the border.

In addition, there are a large number of Wind Country reserve troops assembled on the border between the two countries, waiting for orders at any time.

In order to rescue the trapped emperor, the Wind Country invested almost all the troops of the whole country into this national war, which can be described as menacing.

Under the pressure of the 2nd, 7th, 8th, and 9th Army Corps of the Windy Country, the Besa Army had to divide its forces.

Under the orders of Herakgs, Adams led the Besa Army of five legions to Nashikya to fend off the Wind Army, which was marching towards Gabri.

For this order of Herakgus, Adams complained a lot, the battle of Sail City has been fought to this extent, the wind army has run out of ammunition and food, and the battle of trapped beasts is done, and the next battle is only the final battle, capturing the emperor and general of the wind country alive, and completely annihilating the six and a half legions of the wind country, which is just around the corner.

This must be a great feat, enough to go down in the history of Besa, but at this time, Heracgus transferred himself to fend off the reinforcements of the Wind Country, and his intention was obviously to monopolize this great feat. How could Adams' heart be comfortable?

No matter how dissatisfied he is, no matter how dissatisfied he is, but Heracgus is now the second commander, and he can only obey Heracgus's dispatch.

With the departure of Adams's army, the Besa army besieging Sayre City was sharply reduced, to less than one million, but against the remnants of the 300,000 wind army, it still had a strong advantage in strength.

In the ensuing battle, the attack of the Besa army did not weaken, but became more frenzied, launching a fierce attack day and night, and the situation of the wind army was precarious, and it was on the verge of collapse.
