Chapter 1060 Situation
The army of more than a million demons is rolling in like a flood, and the Serraga Fort in the front is like a small reef, although it is very tenacious, but the end is shattered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Commander Murat knew in his heart that the loss was inevitable, and it was nothing more than the difference between sooner or later. Sure enough, under the bombardment of catapults and with the assistance of the siege tower, it only took half a day for the demons to capture the outer city of Seragaburg.
In the previous battle to defend the city, the demons made the mistake of rushing to achieve success. Lacking heavy siege equipment, in the face of tall walls and heavy firepower, they can only use their lives to make a trip, and the effect is extremely poor. However, after fighting for a while, the demons finally came to their senses and began to fight steadily, and when a large number of siege equipment was built, the tide of battle had slowly turned around.
In just half a day, the outer city of Fort Serraga had already fallen. Although Murat commanded effectively and basically evacuated all personnel and supplies to the inner city, such a situation, no matter how you look at it, is struggling to survive. And the demons are even more unhurried, they are clearing the obstacles in front of the inner city wall, transporting siege equipment, and mobilizing troops...... , ready to take this Serraga Fort in one fell swoop.
On the periphery of the border line, there have been a number of outlying strongholds such as Fort Seraga, which have fallen. As long as anyone who knows a little about military affairs understands: It is no longer possible to be beaten passively in this way, and a counterattack is needed.
Therefore, in such a situation, the two major legions in pursuit and the mobile corps led by Marquis Lev attacked at the right time. And the demons had long expected this counterattack, so no strategy could be effective, and the two armies immediately fell into a head-on decisive battle. Fortunately, the decisive battle also stopped the siege of the demons temporarily. Several castles, such as Fort Seraga, held out for the time being, placing their fate entirely on the outcome of the decisive battle.
......
Golgli City.
The lively banquet hall was full of guests. Although it was wartime, it was still full of food, bands and costumed ladies and ladies. The atmosphere was very cheerful, the banquet hall was full of laughter, and everyone kept touting today's guest of honor, Count Dipp, which made Dipp already happy.
"Your Excellency!" Sidi continued to praise, "you have made a great contribution this time, and the Admonition has published your report again. I'm afraid that the empire will not be rewarded, you are a general at such a young age, and you will definitely be able to become a marshal in the future, and you will definitely be able to become a duke. ”
After all, Gaogli City is not the central city of the Northern Military Region, and these guests today are only some local magnates in the city. Therefore, Sidi has nothing to restrain at all, and the touting has reached the level of flesh.
"Hahaha-!" Dipu smirked, and he still ate this set, "It's a small thing, it's not enough to worry about." Don't worry, Sidi, and a few of you, the credit of a few of you has also been reported to the military department this time. There should be no problem, the military department will definitely give face, who will make me Her Majesty's most loyal guardian knight? Haha! I wish Your Majesty health and beauty, cheers-!"
"Cheers!"
Anyway, Dipu is not afraid to flash his tongue when he says big things. He was really ...... to Queen Tricy Loyal. However, no one present knew the details, so the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and soon it became like a fire.
In the past few days, Dipu finally found a chance to escape the Guana River and return to the human alliance. Since the Marquis of Lev had already led his troops to the battle, Dip simply returned to the city of Gaugre. Unlike the atmosphere of the decisive battle on the southern front, the Guana River defense line on the northern front was calm. Since the river has entered the freezing period, it will take about a month to completely freeze, so the atmosphere on the defense line is relatively relaxed.
Unexpectedly, Dipp made headlines again this time. For the glorification and boasting of this person who is not an Imperial person, maybe the official in charge of propaganda in the Empire will be so angry that he vomits blood! This can't be helped, we have to dig out the bright spots in the darkness, right?
In the beginning, the news was eventually delivered back to the Reich and the Holy See, and Dip was somewhat credited. The subsequent rescue of those who had been captured may not make much sense militarily, but it was heroic and morale-boosting, and was loved and spread by the civilian population.
Plus there's the brilliant writing of the Hill reporter from the Admonition. This die-hard fan of Dipu described Dipu's wandering around the demon-controlled area as an epic containment operation. Of course, why would Dipu contain an army of millions of demons? Anyway, the result was good, and it successfully delayed the demon clan until the river freezing period, delaying the demon clan's action. This is not the credit of Dipu, but whose credit is it?
So Dipu was very relaxed today, drank a lot of fine wine, and made eye contact with several beautiful women. And Sidi finally asked what he cared about: "Your Excellency, ...... What do you think will happen next?"
"The key is to look at the progress of the month. Dipu replied with a smile as he sneaked a touch of a beautiful woman's small hand under the table. After having experienced so many wars, he also has some experience, "The latest battle report on the border defense line is very fierce, but the progress of both sides is not great, showing a stalemate. And the time over there is on our side. If this continues, in the coming month, the empire will mobilize another army of 400,000 or 500,000 men to fight, and the kingdom will send a reinforcement of about 200,000 troops. If there is also the supplement of the five northern counties and the local militia groups, we will gradually gain an advantage in terms of troops. And that demon army is just a lone army, there is no logistical supply, it can't support long-term operations, and after a long time, it will end up with a fiasco under the attack of various legions and border defense lines. Even more optimistic, they can be wiped out. ”
"But the focus is not here, it's our Guana line here. In a month's time, the demon army will be able to cross the river through the ice smoothly and attack the entire defense line in an all-out way. And in the intelligence, the total strength of the demons will definitely exceed three million (although the intelligence has been obtained, the human alliance still underestimates the total strength of the demons). Therefore, the key to the key, we must persist in resisting the main force of the demons until the demon forces on the border defense line are annihilated, and then converge together and then fight a decisive battle with the demons. ”
"Are you sure?" Sidi continued.
"There should be!" Dipp was still optimistic, "the entire line of defense has been in place for a whole year, and the Empire and the Holy See have brought in so many supplies. And in a month, the main forces of the mobile corps of the Marquis of Lev will go north to strengthen the defense of the Guana line. And the Tello Kingdom will also attack, containing the actions of the demons through the flanks. That is, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it is for us. As with last year, as long as we can delay until the beginning of next spring and the Guana River thaws, we will win. (To be continued.) )
