Chapter XI
The battle for the valley mouth of the Solang Valley lasted for three days, and the whole process was extremely fierce, and both sides successively invested nearly 10,000 infantry to fight for this valley mouth that was only more than 100 steps wide. Too many corpses were piled up in the narrow sections of the valley that affected the fighting between the two sides. Later, there was even a strange incident in which each side carried the corpse off the battlefield first, making room for the battle. From this, we can see the tragedy and tragedy of the entire battle process.
"What's the matter with that old man Yankel, who didn't care about the casualties at all, launched wave after wave of attacks on the valley mouth for three days and three nights in a row!" The first two earthen walls had been captured and razed to the ground during the previous three days of fighting. At this moment, looking at Vorford, he no longer has the energetic appearance of three days ago, and the whole person looks quite tired, and his original silver armor is now bloodstained, obviously after many tragic battles.
"Yes, those Newingman infantry seem to be some desperate outlaws, and they fall in batches, and this is not like the fighting style that Yankel should have!" Dakar also stood on the earthen wall at this moment, and it was evident from his strong voice that he was in better condition than Vorfroot.
The red-haired man standing between the two tiger generals and gazing intently is none other than the "mad lion" Camp of the Fabre Kingdom.
"Something isn't quite right. As far as I know, Yankelko has never had such a clumsy performance on the battlefield. The situation at the moment is completely a hard-hitting situation, and even a junior commander can see that this method of combat has no meaning at all except to increase casualties on both sides. ”
Camp slammed his fist on the battlement of the earthen wall, and as the commander of the first army, he had no way to guess the opponent's strategic intentions.
"The enemy is attacking again!" Worfordgen pointed to the dust raised in the distance of the earthen wall.
"Since Yankel craves this senseless killing, then we don't need to be polite to him, let him see the strength of our Fabre army!" There was a hint of anger evident in Kemp's calm tone.
When the Newingman army was five hundred paces away from the earthen wall, Worfroot could see from the eager looks on the faces of the enemy soldiers and the shiny armor that Yankel had put in a new combat unit.
"What the hell! Yankel has a new force, and I don't know what he wants to do!" Worfordgen grumbled hatefully.
Another clash of blood and fire, another senseless killing.
Over the next hour or so, under the personal leadership of King Kemp, the three thousand Fabre sergeants stationed at the earthen wall repelled the attack of five thousand Newingman infantry, and after each of them dropped thousands of corpses, the Newingman army began to retreat according to custom, and the whole scene was orderly and there was no confusion. Simply because the soldiers fought too long and needed to rest. In less than half an hour, these guys will definitely launch a new offensive.
Faced with this situation, Camp had no choice but to draw new troops from the valley to strengthen the defense of the earthen wall. No one knows how long this senseless fight will last, and Yankel, the only one who knows the answer, is also under tremendous pressure at the moment.
Outside the Solang Valley, the Great Tent of Yankel.
"What, the three-day attack has only captured two layers of enemy fortifications, and Taniguchi is still firmly in the hands of the other party!" Yankel yelled at the officers who had come to report the battle. Faced with the commander's anger, the young officer's face turned pale with fright, and he did not dare to say a word more.
Seeing the frightened appearance of his subordinates, Yankel also felt that he might be too emotional, after all, his small junior officer could not have any impact on the current situation of the Newman Army. It seems that he has been a little exhausted by the continuous unfavorable reports these days, so that he has lost his usual calm.
After sorting out his emotions, Yankel eased his angry tone slightly.
"How many soldiers did our army put into the battlefield in the past three days, and what were the casualties?"
"Our army has mobilized a total of 14,000 infantry into the battle in the past three days, and the casualty ratio is about 30% or 5!"
"Thirty into five, that means there are more than 5,000 casualties, right?"
"Yes!"
"You pass my order, and send another 10,000 troops to the valley mouth, and carry out a continuous attack on the Fabre army at the valley mouth, and you can't stop for a minute. Tomorrow, at noon at the latest, I must take control of the valley mouth of the Solang Valley, or let the general in command come to me with his head!"
"Yes!" the young officer bowed and withdrew from the tent, thinking of the life-and-death battle scene on the battlefield of Taniguchi, and cold sweat flowed involuntarily.
There are 10,000 more troops, and a death order has been issued, and I don't know how many corpses will be left at the valley mouth this time.
The young officer wondered if his commander had gone crazy this time, he had never given such a stern and impersonal death order before. He didn't know how worried Yankel was in the big tent at the moment.
Now, no matter what the cost, as long as he captures the key point of the valley mouth, he can continue to besiege Fabre's main army with a small number of troops, and then have enough troops to attack Hyde City and restore the logistics supply of 30,000 cavalry. Therefore, it can be said that this battle for the valley is a key point in the development of the entire situation on the battlefield of Fabre, and Yankel will never allow anyone to hinder him from achieving the predetermined plan.
After learning of the commander-in-chief's death order, the general who commanded the Newingman army in charge of the attack on the valley mouth dared to slack off and launched wave after wave of attacks against the Fabre army defending the earthen wall, and the war lasted from day to night, and from night to early the next morning. After sacrificing the lives of almost five thousand infantrymen. The Neuingman army, with its bravery and excellent fighting qualities, finally broke through the last line of defense of Fabre, and then took control of the valley mouth of the Solang valley within the time limit set by Yankel.
Jankel, who was in the Great Horde, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered 15,000 soldiers to guard the mouth of the valley in the Solang valley and continue to besiege Fabre's main force, while he himself led the remaining 25,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to the city of Hyde.
Just as Jankel's army captured the vital mouth of the Solang Valley from Camp, Ferdinand, the "Knight of Cadenza "Cadenza "Cadenza "Cadenza "Knight" and his 30,000 cavalry arrived at Seres, the capital of the Kingdom of Fabre, and he was greeted by 18,000 garrison infantry and 8,000 cavalry of the Guards, as well as nearly 100,000 civilians in the city.
When Ferdinand arrived at the city of Seris, he ordered his soldiers to make siege equipment on the spot, and on the other hand, he sent men to the area around the city to loot food. But Li Yuxuan had already expected this move, and before the war, he had evacuated the civilians within a hundred miles of the capital from the area, and all the food was taken away, and what could not be taken away was purchased by the kingdom and transported to the city of Celes as military rations for the kingdom's regular army. Therefore, the Newingman cavalry, which had been busy for several days for food, finally found nothing. Ferdinand began to sense that something was not quite right, but at this point, he had no choice but to take the city of Seres.
