Continuing to advance or withdrawing to the defense became the most important choice placed in front of the generals of the coalition front command, and the Marquis of Fit, as the commander-in-chief, demanded to move on.

At the meeting, he vigorously ignored public opinion, pointed to the map, and said categorically, "The situation is clear to everyone, I won't say anything about it, the army has indeed advanced four hundred miles to the north of Gangfei, and the results are brilliant, but we all know that this is achieved by the main force of the Falcon Army taking the initiative to avoid the war, and the other party's hand is very cunning, as long as they don't fight with us, they can use their inferior forces to contain us,

As long as we don't defeat the Falcon Army on the opposite side for a day, my occupied area is equal to nothing, because we don't even have a support point enough to hold these occupied areas, and the result of the retreat is that all the hard work of the Great Army for a month of fighting is in vain, and the Falcon Imperial Army breaks through from the flank, which should be intended to exhaust us back and forth."

"But if you don't retreat, the back road of the army will be cut off, and you can only withdraw the army!" The voice was made by a middle-aged man wearing a black general's uniform with a thin body, a general from the non-Tallinn kingdom Ambata, a sturdy man, only in his early forties, but there was not a single hair on his head, and there was a trace of red light in his eyes, which looked like a poisonous snake with his head raised with a dangerous cold feeling,

Seeing that it was Ambata who spoke, the Marquis of Fett's face became solemn,

The non-Tallinn principality is a mountain principality in the eastern section of the Kingdom of Rayla, the mountains stretching for hundreds of miles make this small principality almost unsightly, the most famous specialty of the non-Tallinn principality is mercenaries, the mountains can't support so many people, non-Tallinn men will leave non-Tallinn to act as war mercenaries outside after reaching the age of fourteen,

Therefore, the population of the non-Tallinn principality is only more than 280,000 people, but it is a country with strong combat effectiveness, and the non-Tallinn troops participating in the war this time are only 2,000 people, but no one dares to underestimate these 2,000 non-Tallinn soldiers. In the eyes of the Central European and Barrow countries, the formation of an assault array of 2,000 non-Tallinn soldiers with rich war experience is enough to defeat a 10,000-strong team in a head-on battle!

"I didn't say no retreat!" Marquis Fett took a deep breath of cold air, tapped the map on the table with his hand, and said in a condensed voice, "But before the army retreats, in order to stop the Falcon Army, we must establish a foothold, and I think this foothold is the best here!" "This is ...... Edgar a hundred and ten miles away?"

Everyone looked at the place where Marquis Fett's finger was, and their faces invariably showed a look of approval. Marquis Fett is right, you can't just withdraw like this, even if you want to evacuate, you have to take down a barrier that is effective enough, and when it comes to barriers, naturally Edgar of Marquis Fett's finger is the most advantageous,

Marquis Fett's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said in a deep voice, "Edgar is a super-large fortification of the Congo Empire, and in order to resist the invasion of the Istans, the Gang Africa Empire used 200,000 laborers. With this big fortress as the core, hundreds of small fortresses of all sizes have expanded outward, forming a huge barrier belt with a length and width of more than ten miles.

The Emperor of Istanbul was because of the existence of this fortress. Before the Battle of Fukodir, he suddenly chose to divide his troops into two ways, one was led by Hayela, the most powerful general in the Istanbul Empire, who was responsible for attracting the main force of the Congo African army. On the other hand, Emperor Istan personally commanded the army, which bypassed the Edgar defensive line diagonally and directly crossed the ill-prepared Kyoto of the Congo African Empire. “：

Marquis Fett's voice paused, and he continued, "It's a pity that this super fortress was abandoned by the Gangfei people without playing any role, because there was no substantial fighting, so the entire fortification was preserved,

According to intelligence, the Falcon Empire's Gangfei Northern Legion, which has retreated from the border, is currently resting in this fortified area. This force should also be the bottom line that the other side can bear, because once the Edgar defense line falls into our hands, the northern part of Gangfei will be in no danger to defend, and the opposing commander is also bold and very shrewd, knowing that it is useless to block in front of him, so he simply abandons the plain area in front that is not conducive to combat, and chooses to wait for work in the Edgar area! "The other side knows better than us that whoever occupies Edgar can control this war!" Marquis Fett's words made the generals moved, especially those generals who had already gained benefits in this assault, "Yes, if you can take Edgar, even if you retreat, you won't have to worry about it!" The generals nodded one after another, the army retreated, and the Falcon Imperial Army would inevitably press, if there was no strong enough defensive line, the land that had been reached could not be defended, and the rare expression of the coalition meeting was unanimous, "Defeat Edgar, everyone will withdraw!" The generals looked excited, and agreed to attack Edgar together," Okay, then attack Edgar!" Marquis Fett's mouth grinned, he was actually not sure that the main force of the Falcon Army was in Edgar, but the news from the scouts showed that the Falcon Army's defensive line had been discovered in Edgar, no matter what was wrong, whoever took Edgar would have the initiative in the battle,

The coalition generals went back to reorganize their troops, and the battle orders were quickly issued to the squadrons, and the morale of the coalition soldiers rose when they heard that they had finally found the location of the Falcon Army.

Marching in the ice and snow for half a month, not even seeing the shadow of the enemy, not only the generals are hairy in their hearts, but the soldiers are the same, marching in the snowy wasteland, surrounded by uninhabited dilapidated worlds, the soldiers are also hairy in their hearts, they feel like they have walked into a dead land,

They are here to fight, but they don't even know where the enemy is, and every day they receive an order to be ready for battle at any time! The invisible enemy is far more terrible than the invisible enemy, and there are even rumors in the barracks that the Falcon Army is planning a big operation, to lure the coalition forces into the hinterland and then encircle and annihilate them, this time the exact news finally came back, the Falcon Imperial Army is in Edgar, as long as the enemy of Edgar is defeated, the army can go back! Is there a more powerful appeal now than going back, no, the coalition soldiers spent half a month in fear, every day they felt that the Falcon Army could be killed at any time, the falcon imperial army before the war was undeclared, and now it still makes the coalition soldiers feel palpitations,

The coalition scouts rushed to the Edgar line as fast as they could, and there, the scouts found the Falcon Empire's army, the Falcon Empire's battle flag fluttering on the head of the Edgar line, and the walls were already full of soldiers. The black pressure is overwhelming, like a wall of steel, but Berrant Bonnie chose to fight in Edgar, when she went to the northern legion of Gangfei, she took the female knights to pass Guò from this intact huge defense line, and naturally heard the story of this huge defense line, Gangfei people wanted to use this defense line to stop the Istans, but because they relied too much on this defense line and suffered a catastrophe,

The whole northern part of Gangfei is also the middle line of this defensive line, and the area near the east coast is recovering. The area west of the defensive line is still deserted, and it is very dangerous to fight against the superior enemy on the flat terrain with inferior forces.

When he realized the fat man's order to allow him to evacuate the flat and unfavorable terrain, Berlant Bonnie's mind flashed first. It was this huge fortress defense line abandoned by the Gangfei people, and while the main force of the coalition army cautiously pushed all the way from the border line, Berrant Bonnie's Gangfei Northern Army was already waiting for the Edgar defense line to strengthen the city wall. Cutting down trees to build an arrow platoon, the entire length of the Edgar defense line is about fifteen miles, of which the main fortress of Edgar is the core, and the small fortress with solid stones is like a node on a huge fan. To the west, the fortress area stretched five or six miles.

The scouts of the coalition appeared in front of Edgar, and the scouts of the Falcon Empire also noticed this, and the scouts on both sides were the eyes and ears of the army, the first fists to collide. The Coalition Scouts have the advantage in numbers, while the Scouts of the Falcon Empire have made the Coalition Scouts pay a heavy price many times with their flexible and ferocious ranged damage. But the numerical disadvantage was irreversible, and the coalition scouts were approaching the fortress step by step, the most recent one had brought the perimeter of the fort to the edge, and the reports sent back were getting more and more detailed, fortunately, the small bunker area outside Edgar was five or six miles wide. so that the coalition scouts can't get a full picture of the Falcon arrangement,

On the fifth day, Berrant Bonnie ordered a small number of scout troops to withdraw, from the time calculation, the main force of the coalition army should have reached the periphery, the reason why there was no movement, because the detailed defense of Edgar's side had not yet been figured out, on the sixth day, the coalition troops finally began to appear on the perimeter line, the battle flag fluttered like a cloud rolling, in the face of the small fortress outside Edgar, the coalition army built a large number of catapults, the woods outside the fortress had been cut down by the Falcon Imperial army in advance, and the coalition army could only go to the forest more than ten miles away to cut wood, which made the coalition army delay for two days again,

On the eighth day, the coalition army began to carry out tentative removal of the fortress area on the outskirts of Edgar, 30,000 troops lined up neatly, spears and heavy shields, light cavalry on both sides stepped forward neatly, the cavalry bayonets were lowered flat, the cold light was terrifying, and the explosive stone bullets of thousands of catapults fell densely on the outer fortress area, and several small fortresses were destroyed at once.

Before the Falcon shooters in the fortress could shoot, they were covered by crumbling rocks, and Berlant Bonnie hurriedly ordered the forward shooters to evacuate,

On the first day, the main force of the coalition easily took the periphery of the Edgar defensive line,

At night, the coalition army camped in the small fortress area outside the fortress of Edgar, the fire in the coalition camp continued like a huge galaxy, 180,000 of the 250,000 troops on the coalition front line were here, the huge pressure made almost no one speak to the falcons on the city wall, the cold wind was howling, and the faces of the people were painful,

The number of imperial troops in Edgar is only 70,000, 50,000 are the Gangfei Northern Legion, most of the soldiers are just semi-recruits who have fought one or two battlefields, and a 12,000-strong infantry flag regiment under the command of Reposti is the foundation of the original Central Army, and 20,000 people are a flag regiment of the Imperial Guards Regiment that arrived some time ago, and with the arrival of the Guards Flag Regiment, there are also 200 standard equipped Thor, that is to say, among the 70,000 Imperial Army, there are only 30,000 troops with real first-line combat power, less than 40,000, considering the huge disadvantage in strength, Berlant Bonnie strongly advocated placing Thor within the last 500 meters of the fortress defense line"If our army can't resist, please be able to blow up Thor before retreating!" Berrant Bonnie stood at the head of the fortress city, looked ahead, and said to the Imperial General Aglins beside him, "Once so many Thor fall into the hands of the coalition army, it will be a disaster!" Berant Bonnie held the preparation of ordering the explosion of Thor once evacuated, these things were too heavy to be transported away in a short time, although there were enough Thor, but in the face of the main force of the coalition army that was twice as strong, with 30,000 first-line troops, and 40,000 second-line miscellaneous Berant Bonnie did not dare to win lightly,

To be sure, the Allied forces were very surprised by their appearance during the day. It turned out to be the officers who led the charge, and the generals were also on the front line to command, and the Marquis of Fett also ran to the front in person, bravely standing on the ruins of the fortress, and with an excited face, he planted a silver and gold border shield battle flag of the Rayla Kingdom Army on the top of the first small fortress occupied.

Although most of the fortress had been smashed and collapsed by countless trebuchets, and it was nondescript to plant a military flag on it, the military flag of the Kingdom of Rayla planted on it really made the morale of the coalition army boil suddenly, and the voice of shouting victory came like a mountain of mountains.

Blant Bonnie looked at the military flag of the Rela Kingdom on the top of the fortress, and the silver teeth of anger were clenched, but she also had to admit that the famous general of the Rayla Kingdom, known as the Dance of the Fox, did have some means to encourage the morale of the army, a small military flag, which not only avenged the previous revenge of being attacked and defeated by the Falcon Imperial Army, but also proved to the whole army that the so-called undefeated Falcon Imperial Army could be easily crushed under his feet! The fear of the Imperial Army in the hearts of the coalition soldiers came to naught at this moment, and the next step would be to start pulling out the outer line step by step with more confidence, and wait until all the outer fortress areas were pulled out. The morale of the coalition army will be completely bursting,

The siege and onslaught of the main force of the 180,000 self-confident coalition forces is the end of Edgar's main fortress and the morale of the army. is changing with the reduction of the outer fortresses,

Berlante Bonnie had a hunch that such a period of time would not be very long, at most three or four days. Judging from the efficiency of the coalition army during the day, the combat effectiveness of the coalition army has been greatly improved, which is a situation that Bellant Bonnie did not expect. Because of his own rash attack, he actually made the cooperation of the coalition forces more and more skilled and mature,

Heavy infantry advances, light infantry attacks, cavalry rushes into the fight, catapults are concentrated to clear, sweep the barrier, several times the coalition forces are using this simple and effective tactic, against the heavy crossbow arrows of the Falcon Imperial Army, rushing up to start a white-edged battle, stunned to use the number of people to push the battle line in the direction of the fortress a little bit, this kind of simple and effective enough tactics, so that Berlant Bonnie has no effective way to stop it for a while!

In the depths of Berlante's heart, he also lamented that the direction of the Edgar Fortress was too wide! The defense line was originally built by the main force of the 300,000 empire by Gangfei, so the scope of the spread was huge, especially the small fortress area, under the condition of sufficient troops. It is a flesh-and-blood strangulation line that can make it difficult for the fierce Istanbuls to advance an inch, but in the case of insufficient troops, the overly wide defensive line is the biggest weakness.

The coalition army relied on the numerical advantage and a large number of catapults to completely restrain the small fortress area in front, and then turned every small fortress area occupied into the support point of the coalition army's next attack, which was too unfavorable for the defenders, Berlant Bonnie could only order the peripheral troops to give up the range of the first four miles that could not be taken into account, and also burned a part of the fortress before leaving, but the fortress was built of stone, and the effect was not great, at most, the outside was burned black, and the abandonment of the periphery was equivalent to putting the enemy under the fortress city at once, and directly entered the stage of fighting forces

The roar of Thor began to shake the earth on the third day of the attack, 200 Thor spewed red flames from the city wall section, streams of black smoke rose in the ranks of the coalition army, the ranks of the hoplites were torn apart, the dashing figure of the light cavalry galloping was lifted into the sky, the light infantry scattered in chaos, and the two hundred Thor bombardments were indiscriminate, so that the Shun Lì flat push of the coalition army was like being hit on the head by a hammer, blood splashed, but it was only a pause for a morning, the main force of the coalition army spread out under the fortress again in the afternoon, this time the scale was larger, and the dense black pressure was full of human heads, like a sea of people,

Berlante Bonnie's pretty face was already extremely dignified, and there was a slippery feeling in the palms of her hands, and the situation below was a sign that the main force of the coalition was ready to give it a go, 180,000 people! Thinking about this number, Berrant Bonnie felt her scalp tingle, although she claimed to be the personal disciple of the Falcon Emperor, but she had not really experienced a 100,000-level war, when she watched her father Duke Berrant's fall of the tragic Battle of Yerege, it was only 20,000 people, and then followed the fat man's side, watching the Falcon Dynasty expand wantonly, and then transferred to the northern border guards, missed the largest number of battles in the empire to unify Ikadiva, on the northern border, the strength of the steppe people was 50,000 at most, and they didn't dare to fight with her at all, now it's different, when the real 100,000-level battle unfolded in front of you, but Berlant Bonnie found that her body was trembling slightly!

"Lord Bonnie, raise the banner of the decisive battle!" Reposti and Yagrin next to him were very calm, the two of them lived and died several times, and the battle of 100,000 people also fought several times, they were already standard warriors, no matter how many people there were on the other side, they thought that the imperial army flag was going,

Reposti looked ahead and said in a condensed voice, "The war has been fought here, there are no tricks to speak of, the respective layouts have been completed, and now it is the desperate struggle of the main forces of the two armies, Lord Varisien broke into the rear from the south, wanting to cut off the back road to force the main force of the coalition to retreat, so that the results of more than half a month of battle were in vain,

The coalition forces want to grab the crucial midline barrier Edgar before retreating, for both sides, this is a duel of time and speed, now, we and the coalition forces on the opposite side are the pawns of the commanders of both sides, raise the decisive battle flag, tell everyone, can only win, not lose, so as to maximize morale!"

"Yes, you can only win!" Blante Bonnie calmed down, raised her hand, and ordered the female knight behind her to hang the big red decisive battle flag under the military flag, and at the same time gritted her silver teeth,

Bastard! I am facing several times the enemy here, that dead fat man doesn't know where to go, Berlante Bonnie's knuckles click, the next time I see that dead fat man, I must ask carefully, what does it mean to let hundreds of thousands of men line up in front of me for exhibition......!
