For a few days, the fortress of Kuba in Habaiza was overwhelmed by the armies of the barbarian nation. Originally, the Kuba fortress had 50,000 elite soldiers, and there had been no war for more than eight years, no matter how elite the army was, the edges and corners would be smoothed, so many years have passed, and they only have one fortress and a Savo town as a stronghold, and there is no reinforcement at all, Habaisa has food and money, and of course he does not dare to go to Bobohua City under the rule of Arad to recruit troops, this elite and sharp force that once dominated the Ural Kuba Fortress and the Gran Fortress has gradually grown old, and many veterans who have reached the retirement age have to continue to serve, and they have long lost the halo and glory of the year.

Simakis, of course, could not let the barrier of the fortress of Kuba be lost, and immediately reacted to the attack of the army of the barbarian country, transferring 50,000 troops from the city of Bobohua to camp in the south of the fortress of Kuba, but did not go to reinforce Habaisa. He was worried about Arad in the south, the barbarian attack could not be without Arad's response, and the south and west of Aurado Province were not strategic points that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise the Fifth Army would not have abandoned the base camp of Bobohua City and marched to the Luojia River Plain.

The current situation is very similar to when the Fifth Army left Bobohua City, although the troops that Arad could mobilize were not as many as back then, and at that time, it was also due to Higg's preemptive strike, and Habaiza took the lead in seizing the Barbarian Fortress, forcing the 300,000 troops of the Barbarian State to retreat into the country, avoiding the Fifth Army from being attacked by the north and the south, and keeping the Kuba fortress, but now the preemptive strike is the army of the barbarian country drinking Arad, and the situation of the north-south attack has been formed, It was even more disadvantageous for the Fifth Army and Habaisa.

However, the Fifth Army Corps is no longer what it used to be, its equipment was backward, its morale was low, there was a shortage of food, grass and materials, and the strategic value of Bobo Huacheng was not as important as it is now, so there was a strategic action of great transfer.

It has been more than half a year since Simak occupied Orlando Province and moved its base camp to Bobohua City, and in this more than half a year, the focus was on defense to the south, building numerous forts along the Haman River, crossbow chariot platforms, and defending according to the river points, with the main army led by Mevo to defend, and at the same time let Ulin's cavalry as a mobile response on the plain of the Haman River, even if the enemy can partially break through the Haman River defense line, it is impossible to rout on the whole line, unless Arad dares to give up most of the territory in the south to confront Catherine, Draw absolutely superior forces to go all out against the Fifth Army, otherwise, with twice the strength of Arad now, it can occupy at most part of the territory of Orlando Province, and the Fifth Army can completely use the depth to shrink the defense, defuse the crisis, and delay time.

At the same time, SMS also recalled the heroic magician group in the Alchemy Country to make sure that everything was safe. After several major battles in the past few years, the Fifth Bureau Regiment has gradually been reborn, and most of the generals who followed Montgosa have been dismissed or retired in the past eight years, not that they have no military merits, nor are they disloyal, but that many of the tactical ideas of the Fifth Army have been completely unable to keep up, except for a few core generals such as Ulin and others, most of them have been replaced by young officers from Fuxing City, especially the group that debuted at the same time with Mevo and Siscoli, and have become the backbone of middle and senior officersThe young people are passionate, energetic, eager to make a name for themselves, and have been systematically trained by the military academy and have experienced many battles, which has made the tactics of the Fifth Army more flexible and changeable, and the Fifth Army has truly undergone a qualitative change.

"Go back and inform General Habaisa that the south of Ben Shuai's Fifth Army is being attacked by the 400,000 troops of Arad, and the plain of Haman is already in a scorched state!" Simak smiled and said to the Habaisa envoy who came to ask for reinforcements, "The Fifth Army does not have the strength to send troops to reinforce the Kuba Fortress, please General Habaisa hold on, and when we destroy the invading enemy from the south, we will definitely send troops to reinforce the Kuba Fortress!" ”

"The deputy marshal has already sent 50,000 troops to the south of the Kuba fortress, why don't you reinforce us? Our department and the Fifth Army were originally in the same spirit, did the deputy marshal really want to see death and not save him? What does this mean exactly? The messenger was extremely embarrassed, and seeing that Simak didn't seem to have any intention of reinforcing him, he hurriedly said.

"How does the Fifth Legion deploy troops, what does it have to do with you, this commander needs to be reminded by the envoy, and can he explain anything to the envoy?" Simak said angrily, "Tell General Habaisa that his mission was originally to defend the border for Erathia, and it is his duty to resist the invasion of the barbarian country, and now is the time for him to make contributions to the country. ”

"Lord Deputy Marshal, the barbarian country's attack is fierce, and our army really can't bear it!" The envoy said, "To tell you the truth, before leaving the fortress, our army has withstood the enemy's fierce attack for three days, and although the fortress has been fortified, it has also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the enemy has no intention of slacking off at all!" If our army can't hold the Kuba Fortress, it is natural for the soldiers to die for the country, but if the Kuba Fortress fails, the army of the barbarian country will rush to the Haman Plain like a flood that has burst the embankment, and then the Fifth Army will be attacked on its back, and the Deputy Marshal will not fail to understand this situation! ”

"Hehe, Ben Shuai naturally knows!" Simak was also secretly surprised by the brutal attack power, but he pretended to be disdainful and said, "The Fifth Legion also has its own countermeasures!" However, if your tribe dares to abandon the Kuba Fortress and lure the wolf into the house, this commander will destroy your tribe first on behalf of the Erathians and then recapture the Kuba Fortress! ”

"The vice-marshal seems to be a little unreasonable!" The envoy was also indignant, and said angrily, "Our department only has 50,000 horses, and in the face of an attack by a country, although the enemy is only 200,000 at present, there are still a steady stream of reinforcements entering the Ural Grand Canyon, why should we be responsible for the Erathians independently?" Can the lieutenant be able to represent Aracia? If the deputy marshal really does this, it will really chill the hearts of the soldiers who are struggling to resist the enemy in front! ”

"Why? That's what Ben Shuai is going to do! Simak also said angrily, "If your troops feel that they can't resist the enemy outside the Kuba Fortress, then please withdraw immediately, my Fifth Legion will defend it, and the commander will guarantee that the Fifth Legion will never let the enemy cross the fortress by a single step!" ”

"Hehe, after talking for a long time, it turns out that the Fifth Legion has taken a fancy to the place of Kuba Fortress and wants us to let him out!" The envoy sneered, "I can't be the master of this matter, but I believe that General Habaisa will never agree to do this!" ”

"No, you represent General Habaisa!" Simak said with a smile, "Your unit originally belonged to the branch of the Fifth Army Corps, and it was forced to let General Habaisa separate back then!" The Fifth Legion returned to Bobohua City, and since General Habaisa had no intention of returning to the Fifth Legion, it showed that he was capable of protecting himself, so why should this commander make another move to interfere in the military affairs of your Kuba Fortress? ”

"After all, the deputy marshal still has thoughts about General Habaisa, about the Kuba Fortress, and about the 50,000 troops of the Kuba Fortress!" The messenger said, "Didn't the Marshal of the Fifth Legion, Count Higg, also divide the city of Fuxing? Why are only the governors allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? Why can't I, the Kuba Fortress, learn from Fuxing City to stand on its own, not interfere in the military affairs of all parties, and not depend on any forces? ”

"Hahaha!" Simak laughed and said, "That's right, Ben Shuai just fell in love with the Kuba Fortress and your people!" In today's troubled times, the strong survive, General Habaisa thinks that he is a strong man, and he wants to learn from the independent side of Fuxing City, of course, the commander supports his neutrality, and there will definitely be no interference! But people must be self-aware, and the revival city is not comparable to you! You think that Fuxing City has a sea, you have borders, and Savile Town is prosperous enough, so you think that the conditions are basically the same, but Fuxing City has absorbed a large number of refugees as a population, and has built a strong navy to protect its sea lanes, and even withstood the attack of Sampu in the third theater without relying on any forces, these are comparable to you? If you want to be self-reliant, but you don't have the ability to protect yourself, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, without any conditions, just with red mouth and white teeth, you want my Fifth Legion to work for you, and it is also called a cold lip and a tooth, moral kidnapping, security kidnapping, my Fifth Legion will not eat this set! Let's make it clear, Habaisa has only two ways to go, either he will surrender to the barbarian country and sacrifice the city, and I believe that he can also get a high position in a foreign land, but if there is a gain, there must be a pay, he must wear the hat of treason and surrender to the enemy for the second half of his life, and I, Arathia, no matter which side of the force, will do my best to hunt down and kill the entire traitor; The other way is to unconditionally annex my Fifth Legion, I still have him guarding the Kuba Fortress and give him full support, the matter of the Kuba Fortress is the matter of my Fifth Legion, of course, General Habaisa wants to get as free as before the annexation, I'm afraid it will not be so easy! ”

The envoy said angrily: "Hmph, it was your Fifth Legion that abandoned the Kuba Fortress and General Habaisa at the beginning, and now you are relying on your strength and want to take it back, don't you think it's too much?" General Habaisa didn't feel sorry for the Fifth Army back then, if the military families of the Fifth Army had not been protected by General Habaisa, they would have become slaves and prostitutes, and the Fifth Army was not grateful, but now they are going to fall into the ground, which is really chilling! ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that Habaisa still had a little credit back then, the current Kuba Fortress would have been the Fifth Legion a long time ago!" Simak was furious, "When the Fifth Army withdrew, he left 20,000 troops to replenish the Kuba fortress, and a large amount of materials, including those transported from the border trade to Savo Town, were all left to General Habaisa, otherwise, with the 30,000 people in the Kuba fortress at that time, Arad would have eaten you a long time ago!" It's useless to talk too much, Ben Shuai said that in today's world, strength has the final say, if General Habaisa thinks that he has the ability to survive, Ben Shuai will never interfere in the affairs of Kuba Fortress! Hmph, if he dares to surrender to the barbarian country or evacuate the Kuba fortress without permission, the first thing this Shuai will deal with is him! Someone, send off! ”

……

Habaisa finally paid the price for his cleverness, held out for ten days, and the defenders were killed and wounded, although the enemy's casualties were even heavier, but after all, the barbarians had backup, and they didn't, Simak really dared to bet that he would not give up the Kuba fortress and put himself in a dilemma. In fact, it is not a shame to return to the Fifth Legion, many of his subordinate veterans are also willing to return, so that at least there is a place to belong after retiring, Habaisa just wants to get more benefits from the Fifth Legion, but he didn't expect that Higg is not in the army, and Simak is soft and hard, and he will depict Habaisa alive, and he wants to belong unconditionally.

In the end, the Kuba Fortress, which was plagued by internal and external troubles, could not hold on, and Habaisa could only admit it, although he hated it so much, he also had to bend down to the Fifth Legion and announce that he would unconditionally return to the Fifth Legion battle sequence.

Simak immediately sent Wicks to personally lead part of the heroic mage regiment and 30,000 reinforcements to the Kuba fortress, and carried the crossbow chariot to the city, finally striking a blow to the arrogance of the barbarian country. The barbarian nation, which had suffered heavy casualties, also began to take it pain, and gradually slowed down its offensive, waiting for news of the battlefield south of Alad and the arrival of domestic reinforcements......
