Chapter 103: Speculation
The Bright Empire is in the Moxi Pass, in the capital city of Valen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the war has been raging for a long time, as the most important city in the Northwest Guan, the capital of Moxi, Valen, is still in a state of war.
Every night there is a security team patrolling the city, and the manpower in the garrison is a little tight. But because this place is too close to the outside of the pass, if you come in from Moxi Pass, you can reach the largest city in Moxi in less than half a day.
Even so, morale in Valen was quite high, and the older veterans were not even worried that the Macedonians would take it. As the largest city in the Northwest, Valen's defensive capabilities rivaled almost any major town on the Empire's borders, and the population advantage as the capital allowed the city to accommodate more than 300,000 people. There were two standing legions near Valen, with a total number of about 30,000 men.
But now in the city of Valen, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers, and a cavalry corps of about 20,000 people is stationed on the outskirts of the city, which includes almost all the elite troops in the entire Moxi.
The deterioration of the situation outside the pass had to ask the commander Duke Casa to withdraw all his troops to the front line of Moxi Pass, relying on the strong city of Xiongguan to resist the Macedonians, but for more than half a year, there have been continuous influx of displaced people from outside the northwest pass. The situation outside the pass has become so chaotic that it can no longer be chaotic, and nearly a thousand miles of the river valley corridor has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Although the battle in the pass did not cause many casualties among the soldiers, and there were not a few major battles, Moxi had already lost most of the land.
At this moment, in Valen City, in a study room of the Governor's Palace, Su Ya was sitting at a desk, looking at a map of Moxi in front of her with a solemn expression. There was a knock on the door at this time, and Su Ya came back to her senses, and a young knight and a middle-aged soldier walked into the study.
The young knight was dressed in light armor, his face was handsome, but there was a bit of coldness between his eyebrows, and the middle-aged soldier behind him was burly and rugged, and he was a fierce northwest general at a glance. These two people were Perry, the cavalry commander of the Central Army, and Longkedo, the general of Moxi.
Seeing that it was these two people, Su Ya frowned slightly, and asked with a solemn expression: "You guys came to me together, is there something going on outside the gate?"
"My lord, there is a battle report in Moxi Pass. Ronkedo said in a low voice: "The commander of the garrison of Moxi Pass, Green, has reported that since the siege of Macedonia, there have been no large-scale attacks except for the battle with us in the Cold Spring Wasteland last month.
But a few days ago, according to the detection of sentinels and scouts, there seems to be some large-scale movement in the Macedonian army. Grimm suspected that the Macedonians might attack Moxi again in the near future, so he sent a war report to the Governor's Palace of Valen. ”
After Long Keduo finished speaking, he nodded and glanced at Su Ya before standing aside. Since Heru was recalled to the imperial capital for trial, this somewhat irascible guy has really changed a lot. Not only did he surprisingly not explode after Heru's resignation, but he greatly cooperated with Su Ya's work, and even stabilized a large number of middle and low-level officers to avoid the chaos of the Guannai army. Such a calm change, even Su Ya never expected.
After all, there are not a few generals like him who have been in the Moxi Army for many years, who have been appreciated and reused by Heru, and who have a group of army officers and soldiers. These people are all Heru's descendant generals, and they manage almost all the main armies in Moxi, if they make trouble, the northwest may have been in chaos long ago.
In fact, Su Ya knew that before leaving his post, Heru must have explained to these Moxi generals who had followed him for many years, and he suppressed their dissatisfaction with his own prestige. Otherwise, with his own qualifications and means, it is difficult to deter a rebellious general like Ronkedo.
Even so, there were still mutinies in many places outside the gate because of Heru's dismissal, and it was only after fighting a few battles and pacifying the rebels that he was recognized by these guys. Although they are not much loyal to themselves, but now that there are foreign enemies outside, coupled with the arrangements made before Heru's departure, these guys are still obedient to their military orders.
"This Barcelus, can't you stand it so quickly, but there are nearly 40,000 defenders stationed in Moxi Pass, and although his golden armor is a strong army, I have fought with him a few times. His phalanx of heavily armored spearmen, although they are very tight in the field, are not good at attacking cities, so they have been holding outside the pass, what are they thinking about?"
After listening to Roncodo's return, Suya thought for a moment, then glanced at him and Perry, and asked, "What do you think, what will these guys do this time?"
Long Keduo shook his head and said with some solemnity: "I don't know exactly what this guy wants to do, but according to my thoughts, it is best to send a legion to Moxi Pass first to prevent them from playing any tricks."
From the moment they stationed their troops outside the gates, they seemed to be consciously cutting us off from the gates. But now that the four counties outside the Guanwai have fallen, we can't draw troops back to help. In the next step, Baseiles will definitely move eastward and attack the Guannai. It's just that what tricks he is thinking, but we don't know, I still think it's better to send more troops to Moxi Pass, retreat can be defended, enter...... Hehe, maybe you can catch him off guard!"
Ronktor is really a fierce general, and even if the situation is unfavorable, he can't help but think that he can stop the counterattack. Su Ya frowned, although she didn't say anything, she obviously didn't agree with his idea. The flat and wide thousand-mile valley corridor outside Moxi Pass has been lost, and the vicinity of Moxi Pass is full of mountains and forests, such a terrain is obviously not suitable for the main cavalry charge of Moxi. But the greatest advantage of the Macedonian Eighth Army was the phalanx and the use of the terrain, and according to the current situation, holding on was the safest way.
As for the surprise attack out of town, the idea is good, but it is too risky. After all, under the prestige of the golden armor, it was built with the flesh and blood of 80,000 steppe cavalry! No matter how proud Su Ya was, he would not think that the cavalry of the Northwest Army could annihilate the Macedonian spear infantry in the mountains.
Su Ya rolled her eyes, looked at Perry, who was silent on the side, and asked, "What about you, Perry, what do you think?"
Perry's cold eyes didn't change anything, he just shook his head, and then slowly said, "I'm just a martial artist, and I can only charge into battle." Of course, General Ronkedo knows more about this march and battle than I do. I also agree with his opinion, Moxi Pass is the northwest gateway, and the outside of the pass has been lost, if there is any accident inside the pass, it is always not good to look at the table. Moreover, Barcelus's Golden Armor Legion is also prestigious, and although it has caused us a lot of pressure this time, it doesn't seem to be as strong as rumored......"
Su Ya's heart moved, but her face said quietly: "Go on!" (To be continued.) )
