Chapter 62: Crossing the River to Fight
There are a total of 281 perennial rivers in the northern part of the Flower Language Plain. Of these, 198 belong to the Mississippi River system, 31 belong to the Sangan River system, and the rest flow southward into the largest tributary of the Lion River.
www.cmfu.com released the Mississippi River system, ranking thirteenth in terms of flow and eighth in terms of length. Like other rivers in the northern part of the Huayu Plain, the Fanshui riverbed is shallow and wide, and the summer is the rainy season when the Fanshui floods, and the river is up to two kilometers wide, flooding the banks of Fanshui into a swamp. In winter, the river is about 100 meters wide. It flows all year round.
www.cmfu.com release - "Flower Language Plain Geography and Hydrology" www.cmfu.com released Chapter 62 Crossing the River to Seek War www.cmfu.com released No matter which one is on the mainland, no matter what race, no matter what era, children are too bad in exams, and when they are asked by others, they will not know what to say. The simple Fanos Double Shield's expression now is not much different from that of a child who has failed the test.
After hesitating for a long time after the www.cmfu.com release, Lord Norton, the commander-in-chief, licked his lips and finally said the answer: "Your Majesty the Pope, seven regimental commanders were killed in battle, 12 commanders were killed in battle, 379 officers were killed in battle and below 100 commanders, and 2,087 ordinary soldiers were martyred...... After thinking about it, Norton added: "The number of wounded has not been counted for the time being, and the number of war deaths may expand." ”
www.cmfu.com release...... Such a heavy casualty is still an incomplete count!
www.cmfu.com released a suppressed breath that gripped the throats of every senior officer, and only rough panting and the sound of orc officers spitting and swallowing could be heard in the big tent.
www.cmfu.com the senior officers present saw very clearly just now that this time the enemy raided, the skeleton warriors were only 5,000 at most, and the dragon knights were only two, and they did not have a direct impact on the battle situation in the camp at all. The strength of the Monton Legion, known as the flower of Fanos, ranks among the top three among these dozens of legions. There are also three dragon knights and a divine dragon knight in the air. Such a dismal record can only be described in the word shame.
www.cmfu.com released His Holiness the Pope's heart is bleeding as much as his face. Ordinary soldiers, officers...... Even if an officer with the position of corps commander dies in battle, it is actually nothing, after all, the foundation of the Holy See is placed there, and it is not too difficult to add 18,000 soldiers to promote a dozen or so senior officers - the gap between the militia composed of farmers and the regular army is also here, the militia is a militia after all, and it looks like a random group of famers for a few months of training, but if you want to build a hundred battles and victorious steel heroes like the elite army of Fanos, you don't have to think about it at all without ten years.
What www.cmfu.com released to His Majesty's unacceptability was that one paladin was killed in battle and two cardinals were martyred...... Is it easy for such high-ranking priests and holy warriors to come? There are hundreds of thousands of clergy in the Holy See, and there is no one who can advance to the second level in five years, and the high-ranking warriors with the prefix of the holy word ...... If there is only one pious warrior who receives the power of God every ten years, it is really worth the whole Holy See to celebrate......! Is there such a high percentage?
If it weren't for the www.cmfu.com identity, if it weren't for the minimum respect for the friendly army, if it weren't for the iron horse Jingo north of Ulu City, the same army of 100,000 people who were eyeing each other, the Pope didn't want to suppress the anger in his heart at all!
www.cmfu.com issued, "Your Excellency the two commanders, what should we do next? I wonder what the latest order of the headquarters staff is?"
www.cmfu.com release this is knowingly asked...... The order of the base camp was sent to Ulu City before it was sent to the front line of the Boundary Forest, and even the orcs knew that this was an excuse for His Majesty the Pope, and he did not speak to the lieutenant general of his own army.
www.cmfu.com issued" Yes, the order of the base camp is to launch the final battle against the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force. Monton was still a little more tactful than Norton, and quickly took over the topic.
www.cmfu.com release "that...... I would like to ask the two adults, when will this last battle be launched?"
www.cmfu.com release: "Please rest assured that we will launch an attack on the city of Van Gang within three days. Of course, it is impossible for Monton, who doesn't like to talk nonsense, to be cheeky enough to say that it is necessary to strengthen the combat power level of the training group, that, probably...... His Majesty the Pope will really ask in the next sentence: "Can the last battle be waged in 10 years?"
www.cmfu.com release even if it is the truth, at this time it has to make way for the powerful and pressure!
After the announcement of the wartime staff team of the Fanos Legion in www.cmfu.com, the efficiency was astonishingly high, and only 42 hours later, the large camp of 500,000 men was transferred from a comprehensive defense to a focused offensive, in these 42 hours, 19 legions were reversed, 11 legions moved several miles north to the camp, thousands of siege equipment were transferred into the front-line army of the siege, and 2.4 million arrows were transferred along with the army doctors and priests.
www.cmfu.com announced that in order to prevent the desert legions in the northeast from harassing or directly supporting Fangang City, the staff team mobilized 100,000 people to dig three trenches 25 miles long and six legions to be directly garrisoned.
www.cmfu.com such a large and fruitful transfer was announced, in fact, the expeditionary force in Fangang City, especially the senior officers of the Black Dragon Knights, were dumbfounded, red-eared, and red-nosed - the Black Dragon Knights were also known as the four ace armies of the Empire, and they wanted to make such a large-scale transfer overnight in less than two days, and the officers knew that there was no such possibility.
When www.cmfu.com released the Red Sun leaping from the east of the Huayu Plain for the third time, the 300-year-old ancient city of Fangang ushered in its first offensive and defensive battle...... Speaking of which, this ancient city was also passed through by a detachment of detachments under the command of Miss Moe Ikeda on the way back from an expedition to the desert, when it was just in time for the rainy season in the Huayu Plain, and the Fanshui River (then known as the Sunset River) was several miles wide, and it was impossible to cross at all.
www.cmfu.com According to the historians after the Great War of the Gods, Lin Fan, the commander of the ancient city named after him, is still the ancestor of the king of Linhe County. Of course, at this time, Chi Aotian did not have such a scholar at hand, including Ta Yang, and this guy's Bogu Tongjin seems to be limited to religious studies.
www.cmfu.com In addition to the Sanskrit word has a provenance, another word of Fangang City also has a provenance, in the red earth of the plain of words, there are few rocky hills, including Ulu such a big city is made of digging and burning bricks, Fangang City is an exception, the original site of the city is a large area of bare sedimentary rock, at that time, the partial division held tens of thousands of desert prisoners, Lin Fan ordered these prisoners to dig out the rocks with the most rudimentary equipment, and it took 8 months to build the earliest prototype of Fangang City.
www.cmfu.com Of course, the ancestors of the Lin family will not know 500 years before and 500 years later, otherwise, for the sake of the Black Dragon Knights in a few hundred years, they will definitely work hard for a few more days to build the city a few meters higher.
www.cmfu.com released Qu Jianhong's injuries are healed again...... Now he has four direct subordinate troops, a squad of sand lizard knights, a squadron of earth dragon knights, and a large team of camel knights, all of which are the original members of the expeditionary force, with a total of 4,020 people, and a newly transferred desert empire camel knight brigade, 2,400 horsemen.
www.cmfu.com release From the moment he saw that the Fanos army began to deploy troops, Qu Jianhong did not leave Chi Aotian three steps away - rushing to take the lead.
www.cmfu.com release From the perspective of terrain, the north bank of Fanshui is only 1,200 meters away from Fangang City, and if the Fanos army wants to attack the city, it must first cross Fanshui, and the expeditionary force will certainly not let the other party cross the river smoothly.
www.cmfu.com release that the Fanos army will definitely send all four dragon knights to the north bank to suppress the formation so that the follow-up army can cross the river, the holy dragon knight Xiuda, the peerless master of the battle spirit list, the iron hand to block the river and the cold cold, these three people can just put one of them anywhere is enough to suppress the formation. But fortunately, the Expeditionary Force is now extremely strong in flying knights. Ling Yun and Chi Aotian's dragons will not have a problem against the Divine Dragon, the kelesit arrow feather in the hands of Lord Qingluo is enough to cause great pressure on one of the Iron Hand Blocker and Hanhan, although the strength of Huerdu is not very strong, but it is enough to contain the enemy. Although such a match cannot be said to have the upper hand, it is still not a big problem to be evenly divided.
www.cmfu.com the key to the release is what to do with the ground forces?
www.cmfu.com release can guess with his toes that the first batch of opponents to rush up must be the elite of the elite - the Fanos Heavy Infantry Bearman Unit. By nature, the bears know too much about water, and according to the few sources available, these bear-man tribes are definitely water-driven, except in winter, the bears will spend at least 8 hours a day soaking in the water, and an adult bear-man can easily wade dozens of miles - armed with weapons or other tools. What's more, the water depth of Fanshui in winter is less than 2 meters, and the bear warriors don't need to swim in the water, and they can completely buckle the heavy shield on their heads and walk over.
www.cmfu.com announced that once the bearman forces seize the beachhead, it is estimated that the opponent will dispatch human sappers to quickly build pontoon bridges or build stronger semi-permanent earth dams. During this period, it will take about 2 to 3 hours. Unless the enemy detours upstream or downstream, of course, if Fanos really arranges it this way, it is also a good thing, and the people are sleepy, maybe there are other opportunities.
www.cmfu.com released to face the bear-man heavy infantry, with the combat power structure of the expeditionary force, that is, the Earth Dragon Knight and the Sand Lizard Knight can be tough.
www.cmfu.com release Chi Aotian finally agreed to Qu Jianhong's invitation. As for where to place the knight troops, according to Tayang's opinion, they finally assembled behind the city walls, and then took advantage of the fact that the bear-man troops had not yet gained a foothold, and suddenly appeared to attack the enemy. This idea was rejected by Chi Aotian and Qu Jianhong at the same time - with the width of the gate of Fangang City, thousands of knights launched an attack, and it is estimated that they did not even go out of the city gate for an hour. In fact, it can't be expected that Shi Tayang will do anything to the knight troops, after all, he is a layman.
When www.cmfu.com released the sun upgrade half-pole high, Qu Jianhong had already set up all the knight troops under his command in an attack formation, and the entire army was divided into three major groups, the front was the Earth Dragon Knight, and behind the Earth Dragon Knight was the Sand Lizard Knight squad - in Qu Jianhong's arrangement, the first batch of attacks was the Sand Lizard Knight ranked second.
www.cmfu.com posted in the desert, the expeditionary force has suffered in the face of this kind of wurm beast that can fly and run well and even hide under the sand quickly, Qu Jianhong certainly doesn't mind sharing this rare experience with the bearman troops. With the sand lizard's short-distance flight speed, it is easy to overrun the Earth Dragon Knight and suddenly launch a swift attack on the enemy from mid-air - if you don't know about this mount, you will definitely be unable to guard against it. Qu Jianhong could even imagine the scene of the sand lizard knight falling on his back under a volley, and the enemy was on his back.
The camel riders of the www.cmfu.com release brigade followed behind the two wurmmons, giving the enemy full attacks, and picking out the fish that slipped through the net. Such a battle sequence arrangement can be considered a perfect situation.
www.cmfu.com release However, in fact, on the first day of the siege of Fangang City, Qu Jianhong and his nearly 10,000 iron cavalry withdrew to Fangang City in a gloomy manner after four hours in the sun.
www.cmfu.com release described it in the words of His Excellency Ta Yang: "This is an armed march, and it looks quite enjoyable." ”
