Chapter 593: The Overall Situation is Initially Decided
At the same time, Ma Porte, who controlled Nyala and Cassef, surrounded Kasef's camp of 30,000 men from three sides with his 60,000 troops. The 30,000 Qinwang army, which lost its main general, finally surrendered to Mapote under the double blow of Mevo and Mapote, and was built in the fourth theater sequence.
Ma Potter immediately reorganized the army outside the city, and then, according to the agreement, withdrew from the Guanzhong Plain, went to his base camp Yuping Pass, and returned the camp originally built for himself by the Fifth Army to Mevo. In the end, Mapor didn't kill Nyala and Casef, and let them into the city, where there were many people who wanted to kill them, so they didn't have to dirty their swords!
Since then, the largest Qinwang force in the Guanzhong Plain has been wiped out in this way, coupled with the loss of the Karaka Fortress, the city of Crodina has completely become a lonely city, and the more than one million troops of Arad who are far away along the defense line along the river have also been isolated from the Guanzhong Plain by the lofty mountains, completely isolated from the royal city, and no longer have much connection with the rich Guanzhong Plain.
Autumn is getting stronger, the autumn harvest scene of the Guanzhong Plain, and the layers of golden wheat waves, are not tarnished because of the cruelty of the war. The people of the Guanzhong Plain began to accept the governance of the Fifth Army in the Guanzhong Plain, and the military pressure and various policies to appease the Fifth Army made the Fifth Army's control over the Guanzhong Plain more and more solid. Although there are still many places under the control of the remnants of Arad, how many days can the grasshoppers after the autumn be able to bounce?
The tragedy of the Karaka fortress made Hig and Blue Fairy even more determined, and for the time being, they did not need to forcibly capture the city of Crodina by force, because it would cost the Fifth Legion at least 200,000 lives. All the Fifth Legion needs to do now is wait, and be more patient and determined than the defenders in the city of Crodinah!
Moreover, the violent seizure of the city is likely to turn this ancient city into a pile of rubble, and it will also go back for at least a few decades, such a responsibility, Xige and Lan Xian'er are unwilling to carry. In fact, after controlling the overall situation of the Guanzhong Plain, Hig and Lan Xian'er have changed their thinking, and gradually changed the concept of "war" as the leading concept to the concept of "governance", helping Catherine to temporarily transition the Guanzhong Plain has become the main task of the Fifth Army, and military operations are just auxiliary means! Therefore, the busiest people in the Fifth Legion are Blue Fairy and Mizt! Governing a large country is like cooking a small meal, everything must be considered as thoroughly as possible and carefully implemented, and the great and bold command management in the army are completely two different concepts, and this point, the Fifth Army is currently the only two of them are the most suitable. Lan Xian'er even informed Charlie to send some of the academy's students from Fuxing City to the Guanzhong Plain to participate in the governance of the Guanzhong Plain.
Under the control of this concept, Maevo immediately redeployed the army besieging the city of Croatia, each of the nine gates stationed 10,000 troops, and built fortifications in the direction of the city, and his own 60,000 Chinese guard battalions as a mobile response, any city gate can be reinforced at any time! This military force was not enough to stop the breakthrough of the Arad army, and it could only prevent the movement of people and goods inside and outside the city. The blockade is the main purpose, and if the enemy dares to break through, then it is exactly what the Fifth Army wants! After the breakout, where can the enemy go? There is no way to go, all the fortresses in the Guanzhong Plain are in the hands of the Fifth Legion, leaving only despair and fear for the magnates in the royal city.
A month later, the remaining 50,000 people of the Right Route Army of the Fifth Army led by Simak and Lu Fasi also drove into the Guanzhong Plain and reached the city of Crodina! The Fifth Legion was still roaming and fighting, with the cavalry of Thomas and Ullin, as well as a part of Elva of the Left Army, gradually converging to the Fifth Legion under the city of Crodina in numbering more than 200,000.
With the support of the rich Guanzhong Plain, the pressure on the logistics supply line of the Fifth Army suddenly decreased, and Maria was finally freed, and she came to the base camp under the city of Krodina from the logistics hub of Vupala Pass!
In fact, the overall situation of the Guanzhong Plain has been decided, and the morale of the whole army of the Fifth Army is high, and the momentum is like a rainbow!
The campaign launched by the Fifth Army Corps on the Guanzhong Plain in the past six months has been full of twists and turns, with surprises and accidents. The main accident came from the uncertainty of the Fourth Theater of Operations, which did not concentrate forces in advance to eliminate Ma Porte's Fourth Theater, which almost wiped out Simak's Right Army! Fortunately, Higg and Blue Fairy's strategy, coupled with Weeks and Mevo's extremely smooth battle in the east, allowed the Fifth Legion to gain a firm foothold.
In general, there was a huge lapse in the judgment of the situation by the army of Arad. Thinking that it has a few fortresses as insurance, and the fourth theater of war is holding back the fifth legion, the fifth army will definitely not cause too much trouble to the Guanzhong Plain, so it launched a counterattack against Catherine's army preemptively, resulting in the emptiness of the Guanzhong Plain. It didn't matter if the Fifth Army entered the Guanzhong Plain, but Arad's army underestimated the combat power of the Fifth Army and pinned the main strength of King Qin on Ma Pote in the Fourth War Zone, and as a result, there were major problems in the Fourth War Zone and broke away from the Arad camp, which led to the Guanzhong Plain finally being gradually controlled by the Fifth Army.
If the Fifth Army had just entered the Guanzhong Plain, Arad would have been able to make a quick decision, abandon the defense line along the river and go all out to defend the Guanzhong Plain, use the Karaka Fortress to defend the main force of Catherine to the south, and then drive the Fifth Army with superior forces in the Guanzhong Plain, and the Mapote in the Fourth War Zone would not have betrayed, and the Fifth Army would have been difficult to resist the main force of Arad's army in the end.
It's a pity that Arad was reluctant to give up a large chunk of territory along the river defense line and the advantage over Catherine's 1st and 2nd Legions obtained by a preemptive strike, and the loss of the throat of the Karaka fortress became the last straw that crushed the last hope of Arad's army.
"It's a pity that Denelson can't see where it is today!" Higg looked at the city of Crodina at sunset and sighed, "I think his heroic spirit should not be far away, you can feel it, everything he has done at the beginning is being rewarded, and we will never let you die in vain!" Arad, you wait! ”
"Not only Denilson, but also countless soldiers who fought and died for justice, all those who stood behind us and paid silently for this war!" Lan Xian'er said, "The city of Crodina can't hold out for long, and under the pressure, the materials are gradually scarce, which will inevitably lead to civil strife!" In order to reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers, we should send a message to the city again, only the chief of the evil Arad will be punished, and the others will be there, as long as we lay down our arms and submit to Her Majesty Catherine, we can all return their freedom and not hold them accountable for the war, so as to reduce the casualties of our army and the innocent people in the city! If the city of Crodina can be resolved peacefully, the defenders of the defense line along the river will naturally collapse, and the national strength of the Erathia Empire will not suffer too much loss, which will be a matter of immeasurable merit, and in itself, it is no less than the value of our conquest for more than ten years! ”
"Is this possible?" Simak shook his head and said, "Besides, it is just wishful thinking on our part to punish Arad only, and Her Majesty Catherine may not agree to us doing so!" With the Fifth Army issuing a message, the credibility is insufficient, and there is even a suspicion of trespassing, giving Catherine a big rebellious handle, and the gains outweigh the losses!! ”
"Don't worry, this article will be issued as Crown Prince Christina!" "After decades of war, people are looking forward to peace, to peace, to return to their homeland!" In such a situation, whether it is worth losing one's life for Arad again, everyone in the city will think about it clearly! It should be announced not only to the royal city, but also to the stubborn defense line along the river and all parts of the Guanzhong Plain, so as to completely break the enemy's will to resist psychologically! ”
"Hehe, is there any difference between publishing in the name of Princess Christina and Marshal Higg and Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Simak said, "Princess Christina is only four years old after all, which seems a bit of a cover-up! ”
"Cover your ears and steal the bell, just cover your ears and steal the bell, we can have a clear conscience! As long as it is beneficial to the Guanzhong Plain, to the victory, and to prevent the country's vitality from suffering greatly, we don't have to look ahead and backward, and it doesn't matter much if our personal reputation is damaged. Higg said, "Since it is a matter of immeasurable merit, it should be left to the prince to do, and our fifth legion is the real prince lineage!" ”
Simak sighed: "The Guanzhong Plain is so big, and it is so rich, compared to Orlando Province, compared to the Luojia River Plain, it is simply a paradise, no wonder all dynasties have built their capitals here!" ”
"What, greedy?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "The territory of the Guanzhong Plain is not ours, but we can share the wealth!" ”
"Lan Xian'er, what are you going to do?" Maria glared at Lan Xian'er and said, "All the wealth of Guanzhong, including the wealth of Crodina City in the future, we are not allowed to interfere, this is a forbidden area!" ”
"Cut! I can't look down on this bit of wealth! "Mary, in your eyes, are gold and silver treasures wealth?" General Simaks, I have asked Sosa to send people to Guanzhong Pingyuan to immediately establish a money village system and a pawnshop system covering the entire Guanzhong Plain, and open up a trade route from Orlando and from the Luojia River Plain to the Guanzhong Plain! Let's take a long-term view, we don't want gold and silver treasures, we just need to share the folk wealth of the Guanzhong Plain! ”
"Money farms, pawnshops, these are all the industries of Fuxing City, what does it have to do with the Fifth Legion?" Simak shook his head and said, "No, ma'am, you must come up with a way for the Fifth Legion to get rich, otherwise, after the whole of Erathia is recovered, Your Majesty will definitely take back the Roga River Plain, in that case, relying on the poor countryside of Orlando Province, it will not be able to support the Fifth Legion at all!" ”
"You're thinking too much!" Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "The financial route of the Fifth Legion, your Marshal Higg, has already been arranged for you!" ”
"Me?" Higg was surprised, "I'm poor now, where is the way to make money?" ”
"Of course you have!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "You can generously say not to some money, but others can't be cheeky and refuse to give it!" ”
"What are you doing again?" Higg was even more misty.
Lan Xian'er said mysteriously: "Hehe, when Sosa comes, you will know!" ”
