Chapter 1026 Night Raid in the Suburbs
In the conference room of the military tent, Zarbor, Raul, Bernstein and others had just arrived, and the twin brothers Apollo and Rehog also came to the military tent. .
After a brief introduction, Raul spread out a combat map, with red and blue colors marking the situations of both sides. Raul said: "The current red mark marks the location and direction of action of our army. Judging from the current situation, there are 50,000 Yinhuang Army troops in the capital city and about 10,000 Guards troops, while those from the south The reconnaissance of the southern army found that there were about 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and it was still increasing. However, previous intelligence showed that the army coming from the south this time was about 80,000 to 100,000 troops, and it was estimated that it was calculated as 100,000 troops. During the battle between Enstein and the Yinhuang Army, a small gang of thousands of armed men appeared. The Yinhuang Army intercepted our army, causing slight losses to General Bernstein's troops, but not too much."
Bernstein unbuttoned the cloak tied in front of his collar and said: "Prince, I have sent scouts to investigate this group of people. At present, No information has been reported yet. "
Raul said: "It is known that the number of defenders in the royal capital may be around 160,000, but if you include this group of unidentified militants, the number of enemy troops will be more than 100,000. The number 160,000.”
Zarberg said: "Well, we need to find out the identity of these unknown troops as soon as possible and determine the number of combatants they may have."
Panotta said: "On this point, we stay in the royal capital The spies will also help to find out."
"Tell us about our current situation," Apollo said suddenly.
Raul raised his head and glanced at Apollo, then pointed to the map and said: "Currently, our troops here and Bernstein's combined have a total of 63,000 soldiers, of which 7,000 are independent magic troops. , four independent air cavalry regiments totaling 16,000, three of which are General Bernstein's air cavalry regiments There are about 20,000 Red Eagle Army and General Demans's city defense army. Not counting the troops being transferred, the total army is a little more than 80,000."
"80,000 to 160,000. "Rehog said: "This is completely opposite to your original plan, Zalberg."
Zarberg said: "The original plan was to have Yinhuang, the city defense army, and Raul and Bernstein's troops defend the royal city, and then use follow-up troops to encircle and annihilate Monica's three southern armies. Now what happened With the change, our combat plan has also changed. Generals, what do you think?"
Bernstein said: "The current situation is that those in the Southern Army give priority to holding on to the royal capital, and we In the army They have advantages in weapons and equipment, so I don’t think we should give them too much breathing space.”
“But the problem is that if the Yinhuang Army participates in the defense, the royal capital will definitely be impregnable, although I also agree with Bo. General Enstein wants to focus on attacking, but we must not attack by force, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses due to the defense of the royal capital."
"What are the opinions of other generals?" Zarberg looked at it. Others.
“I also agree with the two generals.” One general said.
Another general said: "Can we adopt a strategy of siege but not attack? The royal capital is located in the center of the fertile wilderness, so in fact it is just an isolated city. From a geographical point of view, there are no natural dangers around the royal capital, which is more convenient. We have to fight with a large army, and the royal capital's defenders are limited in number of soldiers, so it is impossible to send more troops to lure the battle and cut off the supply connection with the outside world. After all, the capital is not a fortress on the front line of the battlefield. Even if there are some stored grain supplies , but there are tens of millions to feed in the city, and there will definitely be civil strife in less than ten days, and the royal capital will be destroyed by then."
Raul said: "It's a good idea, but the royal capital city will be destroyed. Can it be surrounded by such a large royal capital? How many of us will be needed to completely encircle us? Even if we don’t have enough troops, if we are encircled, all our troops will be dispersed. At that time, the defenders of the royal capital will only need to concentrate their superior forces to find our weak points and attack. They don't need to send a large force, and we will be exhausted."
Bernstein nodded: "Yes, this is a factor that cannot be ignored. To besiege the royal capital requires too many people. The soldiers are obviously not enough."
The city defense army Disman, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I think this tactic may be feasible, but as long as we hold the road leading to the royal capital. At each important road, the defenders of the royal capital city took We have no choice. My city defense army is very familiar with every important road and path in the royal capital. We only need to establish good reconnaissance and early warning measures and take early action after the enemy troops leave the city. Completely lock them in this 'cage' like headless flies."
Zalberg laughed: "If you can really implement this plan and achieve this step, I will definitely remember you, Disman. A big credit.”
Disman smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Panotta said: "But in this case, there is another factor that must be considered. There are many floating people from other places in the royal capital, many of whom are very capable mercenaries and adventurers. If these people Being mobilized by Halls and others will be a great threat to us."
Apollo said calmly: "Don't worry about this, these people are not easy to mobilize. This war has nothing to do with them originally. Even if we fight to the death with the Royal Capital Army, we will not harm them. They, they will not give their precious lives for this war. What's more, King Radat's whereabouts are unknown now. Although he doesn't know what the situation is, without the appeal of the imperial monarch, Hols and a few southern governors alone cannot mobilize these people. "
Zar. Borg said: "Don't talk about those mercenary warriors from other places, even if they are They can't mobilize the nobles and royal city members in the royal capital." Lei Hog chuckled and said, "With a royal family like you here, do those clowns still dare to come out and cause trouble? Later, I will clean them up.”
Suddenly, the deep sound of military horns came from outside the military tent, and everyone in the tent raised their heads: "It's an enemy attack!"
"Go back to camp quickly." The generals left immediately.
Raul said to Zalberg: "Prince, you don't have to worry. After their spies were driven away, I already expected that they would attack at night tonight, and the soldiers and soldiers have already made preparations." "
Zarberg said with his hands behind his back: "I'm not worried. If you can't even protect me, there will be no need to continue the war."
Outside the military tent, Hohenheim personally led the troops. The old troops of the Yinhuang Army, Demore and Jeter, also went with the army. In addition, General Mutoso personally led the Lightning Knights and his subordinates were fierce. A total of 80,000 troops including General Maicon, Governor Melo, and Vanguard Beast General Langya and Stone General Biso suddenly attacked Zarberg's army camp at night, preparing to wipe out the enemy army that had not yet been assembled in one fell swoop. .
"Kill!!" The ear-splitting cry of killing suddenly broke through the silent night. The 10,000 Silver Huang Army led by Jeter was the first to fight against the new army in the southwest. These new troops were temporarily transferred by Zalberg during the day. They have not yet been assembled, and there are only more than 20,000 people.
Jitel turned into ice and rushed to the front. A huge snow-condensed face of his own could be seen in the rolling snow floating in the air.
Snow Burial·Angry Avalanche!
The magic of elemental magicians has huge power, and the sudden collapse of hundreds of tons of snow is the prelude to the snow festival. A large number of enemy troops were flooded, and many monsters on the ground were swallowed up by the snow in the blink of an eye, and then Yinhuang's elite came through the snow one after another.
In the new army, a general looked at the avalanche in front of him from a distance: "The Snow Demon should be Jeter, one of the four generals of the Yinhuang Army."
The four generals of the Yinhuang Army are knights, warriors, mages, and magicians. These new troops came well prepared, and naturally they also know the details of several generals of the Yinhuang Army.
An officer came over and said: "General Tie Kai is in trouble. Large groups of enemy troops appeared on the left and right flanks at the same time. We are surrounded."
Tie Kai is wearing a purple and black heavy armor. , holding a pale golden threaded golden sword in his hand, and a standard shell skull helmet leaving only a T-shaped gap for his eyes, nose and mouth. He wielded a threaded golden sword like a stick and ordered: "Pass my order, all the soldiers must gather to fight and retreat, move closer to Raul's army, and at the same time request reinforcements from them."
"Yes." "
While the Jeter Army and the Iron Armor Army were fighting head-on, Mero's subordinates, Beast General Langya and Stone General Biso, each led an army of 5,000 to outflank the enemy from the left and right. Army retreat. On the other side, when Raul saw that the new army was surrounded, he immediately led his troops to rescue them, but was intercepted halfway by the 20,000 Silver Huang army led by Hohenheim himself.
"General Raul, you and I have met several times and we are considered acquaintances. Give up resistance and surrender. A military coup is impossible to succeed. It will only destroy the unity and peace of the empire." Hohenheim rode on the air cavalry The monster shouted, and the sound was carried far through magic.
Raul quickly rushed to the front of the army: "We started to persuade you to surrender before the war started. Hoynheim, you are too confident in the strength of your Yinhuang Army!"
Raul's army far exceeds the normal establishment of the general army, with a total of 40,000 people. In addition, there are more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 city defense troops. An army of more than 60,000 is enough to make people fear.
At this time Zalberg also arrived. He looked at the flaming army hundreds of meters away and shouted: "Hohenheim! Do you still choose to be my enemy? ? I let you go once, but there won’t be a second chance. Yes!" Beside Zalberg, in addition to Kui Mi Lai who was still recovering from his injuries, the lightly injured leader of the Black Feather Camp, Dark Follower Kimons, was already standing beside him. In addition, Cang Ying, Shadow, and Faded Dark were already standing beside him. The elites of the Black Feather Battalion were all accompanying him. And his personal bodyguards Bloodthirsty Demon, Danzel and others were also around, as well as the twin brothers, Apollo and Rehog, who naturally would not leave him alone in such a dangerous situation.
