readx;?“ Yes, the young master is arranged like this, and our territory will become an iron bucket, see how the Guqi army comes in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Liu Jinhui figured it out at once, and he nodded excitedly.

Fang Ruitao said: "Don't be careless if you have a fast cluster, immediately issue an order, the entire Shouyang territory will enter a state of martial law, and all troops will be ready to fight at any time." All key defense areas are extremely effective in doing a good job of defense work, and they must not slack off for a moment. ”

"Yes. Many high-level legions stood upright, saluted Fang Ruitao and agreed loudly.

Fang Ruitao gave an order, and the entire Shouyang territory moved, and all the cities under its jurisdiction entered the first level of combat readiness, and all the armies were nervously assembled, ready to meet the arrival of the big war at any time.

Chen Feng didn't know that he was just a decoy released by Chen Zhenghao, and he didn't know that the entire Shouyang Territory was ready for battle. He still believed that his attack was at stake for the safety of Guqi City, so the entire army was making solid preparations, while trying to be as stealthy as possible so that others would not know about his intentions.

After more than half a month of preparation, the army's food and grass have been prepared, and even those modified with defensive weapons have been assembled in large quantities to the troops, ready to set off at any time.

After receiving the news that Chen Feng had prepared, Chen Zhenghao immediately issued an official order to dispatch troops, and soon more than 700,000 troops of eight legions set off from Guqi City and drove towards the Grand Duchy of Amadeira.

Half a month before Chen Feng's departure, the only remaining 70 warships of the Guqi Navy had already set sail, and for the sake of the secrecy of the combat operation, these warships that had returned from the alert position did not even return to the port to replenish their supplies, so as to prevent their whereabouts from being discovered by the spies in the Shouyang territory.

As if the port had not been attacked, they quickly renovated the harbor, and then mobilized all the remaining merchant ships of the Gucci Chamber of Commerce to leave the port. These merchant ships had escaped because they were not in the harbor at the time of the Shouyang naval attack, and now they were carrying a large amount of food and fresh water, as well as a wing of land forces that had quietly boarded the ship, and headed for the rendezvous with the naval fleet.

After a successful meeting between the two sides, this huge naval expeditionary fleet, led by the commander of the navy, Chen Jicheng, avoided the coastal routes, relying on the guidance of the old sailors, intending to bypass the continental headland and head towards Lianyungang.

When Chen Feng began to set out, the naval fleet had already reached a place only five hundred nautical miles away from Lianyungang, and at their current speed, they could reach it in eight days. Hearing that they were about to arrive at their destination, the soldiers were very happy, in the eyes of the people of the whole continent, Shouyang Territory had long since become an incomparably prosperous place full of gold and jewels, and they were naturally very excited when they heard that they were going to go to such a place to plunder.

The morale of the Gucci navy was high, and they rushed towards Lianyungang despite their hard work, and here they had to sail closer to the route due to the strong currents, but they remained out of sight of the route to avoid being spotted by passing merchant ships.

Chen Feng led the army from the territory of Guqi to attack the Grand Duchy of Amadeira, and at this time, the Shouyang army, which had been keeping an eye on the actions of the Guqi army, reacted, and it turned out that the other party's target was the most prosperous Grand Duchy on the mainland. Chen Feng's military operations, which he thought were secret, were quickly notified to the Grand Duchy of Amadeira through a summons box, and after receiving the news, the two garrison corps stationed in the Duchy immediately split into three. In addition to the Second Legion guarding the city, the First Legion was divided into two armies, each stationed in two fortresses along the border, ready to resist the invasion of enemy forces.

These two fortresses were built by Fang Ruitao at a time of domestic turmoil for the sake of insurance, and he did not expect that they would really come in handy today.

Due to the very difficult terrain, if the Gucci army wants to enter the Grand Duchy of Amadeira in formation, they must pass through one of the fortresses, and this large and majestic octagonal fort is personally guarded by General Nidismak, the commander of the First Army of the Duchy garrison, and the three divisions under his command have already entered the fort, waiting for the other side to attack.

Chen Feng's men were full of cavalry, and even those heavy siege weapons were placed on carriages by him, and several cloud horses were used to move, so their march was extremely fast, and the rapid reaction group at Snow Wolf Pass had not yet been dispatched, and they had already arrived at Tula Fort in the direction of Gucci.

When the Tula Fort was built, the Shouyang Territory was definitely not bad for money, so this fortress was built extremely strong. In order to strengthen the city wall as much as possible, it did not use the traditional blue brick structure, and hired 100,000 stonemasons to dig the best bluestone in the nearby mountains. In order to increase the strength of the walls, iron was poured into the cracks of the stones, and then the outside was covered with cement, which was absolutely impregnable.

In addition to the central main fortress, Tula Fort also stretched out eight tentacles, with these eight cone-shaped walls, arching the safety of the fortress, and sparing no effort for this territory Katerina, plus the Grand Duchy's financial resources, so their heavy weapons are also quite rich, although the other side has an army of 800,000, they still have a fight.

Chen Feng knew that he didn't have much time, and with the reaction speed of the Shouyang Army, he should be able to see the other party's reinforcements within three or two days, so he had to fight quickly. Chen Feng had no experience in this kind of octagonal fort that he had never seen before, so he only sent two divisions to attack in the first round, trying to test the opponent's firepower.

When Nidismark received the news of the arrival of the opposing army, he immediately went to the city to take a lookout. When he saw the seemingly endless enemy troops outside the Tula Fort, he couldn't help but gasp. In any case, even if all of his side were killed in battle, this Tula Fort would have to be defended, because once it was lost, the entire Grand Duchy of Amadeira would become a defenseless land, to be ravaged and plundered, which he could not tolerate.

Seeing that the enemy was attacking at great speed, Nidismak immediately ordered the army to enter the position to defend, and at the same time strictly ordered no one to open fire without his orders.

The army marched slowly towards Fort Tula in a sparse formation, but the expected rain of stone projectiles did not appear, and only three or four catapults placed at the tips of a few tentacles of the fortress were attacked, and their attacks were so powerful that the attacking troops did not feel any pressure.

"It seems that the army of the Grand Duchy of Amadeira is really straw bales, and the use of weapons is so bad, I think the whole army can be launched directly and conquer their broken fortress in one fell swoop. Chen Zi, the commander of the legion on the side, laughed heavily.

Chen Feng shook his head: "Don't despise them, the Shouyang Army will not let us succeed so easily, it is better to be careful." ”
