Chapter 387: Attacking the Enemy Will Be Saved
The base camp of the third war zone, located in Lobit City, the capital city of Conan Province of Ahasia, is basically located in the south-central east of Ahasia, located in a straight line distance of 1,800 kilometers due south of the Luojia River Plain, more than 800 kilometers northeast of Fuxing City, and more than 700 kilometers east of it enters the Camillo Province of the Fifth War Zone, and Lobit City is less than 500 kilometers south of the Sixth War Zone, which is the home port of the Sixth War Zone, and is completely surrounded by the Third War Zone. If the Third Theater of Operations is destroyed, the home port of Truto will be completely encircled by the enemy, and it is very likely that all the warships in the Sixth Theater will be forced to evacuate, and the only place to evacuate will be the territory of the Fifth Theater - Camillo Province. If the Fifth War Zone is wiped out again, all the warships in the Sixth War Zone will become homeless lost dogs, because although Arad's territory is large, most of it is in the north, and there is no coastline, so the warships in the Sixth War Zone can't run to land, right?
The strength of the Third Theater is now relatively scattered, with a total of 700,000 troops, of which 240,000 are stationed in Al-Andalu Province, that is, north of Fuxing City, including the Third Theater Marshal Sampu, also in the city of Masilt in Andalu Province, and nearly 280,000 to the east to reinforce the Fifth Theater to deal with the pagan rebellion in Camillo Province, and less than 100,000 are deployed in various important strongholds, and the remaining about 100,000 are in the base camp of Lobit City. Originally, Sampu had already reported that he would move his base camp to Maslet, but Arad thought that if the third theater moved west, it would cause a large emptiness of troops in the central and eastern parts of Erathia, and it would not be possible to connect his own nest in the fifth theater, so he vetoed it.
Leaving 100,000 troops to guard Lobit City is not a small amount, because near the third war zone, there are no big forces at all, and those small rebel armies, Sampu is not willing to look at them squarely.
Because when they were about to reach Lobit City, the Luojia River had turned to the southeast, and the Navy of SMS went down the river to occupy Amman City, which is more than 100 kilometers east of Lobit City, an important waterway transportation hub in the city is also the eastern gateway of Lobit City, a place where soldiers must fight, and more than 10,000 troops were garrisoned to capture the city, which was equivalent to cutting off the throat of the Third Theater Crusade Army on the way to reinforce Lobit City.
After the sailors of SMS landed at the ferry on the southwest bank of the Luojia River City, they quickly and forcibly attacked the city with only more than 10,000 defenders, and held on for a day and a night, no reinforcements appeared in the direction of Lobit, and more than 10,000 defenders suffered more than 6,000 casualties after being forced to surrender.
Of course, Lobit City will not send reinforcements to reinforce Amman City, because it is difficult to protect itself. Higg's Heroic Wizard Regiment and Thomas's 50,000 cavalry had already reached the city of Lobit first, preventing the enemy from breaking out early. What Higg wants is the living force to destroy the enemy, and the city doesn't matter to him. In Higg's eyes, the 100,000 troops in Lobit City had no choice but to surrender.
The significance of capturing the base camp is not just for the 100,000 troops, but the base camp of the third theater of operations, Lobit City, which has gathered a large number of military supplies, military workshops, military and political organs, and a large number of officers' families also live in the city.
Elva, who was stationed in Lobit City, was the deputy marshal of the Third War Zone, and tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, which surprised him even more, and what surprised him even more was that in the north of Lobit City, there were nearly 100,000 troops who were gathering towards their city like ants moving, and the number of the army turned out to be the Fifth Legion, whose base camp was nearly 2,000 kilometers away.
Although Elva and his 100,000-strong army are full of confidence in the impregnable city of Lobit, the enemy is prepared after all, if he is not completely sure to take his base camp, how can he be so calm and calm, the main army has not yet arrived, dare to send troops to besiege the city to prevent himself from breaking through and escaping?
To Elva's horror, Amman City was captured by the forces of the Fifth Army in just one day and one night.
The beacons, one by one, were finally lit on the territory of the Third War Zone, and one by one griffons were sent out to transmit messages. All of a sudden, the Third War Zone was almost full of wolf smoke, and everyone learned that their base camp, Lobit City, was actually a lonely city.
Although there are only 50,000 cavalry outside the city now, and the army defending the city has an absolute advantage in strength, Elva does not dare to act rashly, so he can only hold on and wait for reinforcements. Even if he pours out of the city, it is impossible to deal with the 50,000 cavalry outside the city, because the other branches of the cavalry team in the field are simply the most brutal slaughtering arms, even if it is divided into four gates, each gate only has more than 10,000 people, and there are 30,000 cavalry in their own city, which is fully capable of forming a local advantage, but the problem is that people are guarding outside the gate, and it takes time for 30,000 cavalry to go out of the city, not 300 or 3,000, and the other party will not even give you time to go out of the city to assemble, and wait for you to assemble a part, The opponent's charge will be all over.
Being able to surround Lobit City unknowingly, half of the strategic task has been completed, and the enemy must be saved, and it is impossible for Samp to ignore the safety of his base camp, and he will inevitably send troops to help, and the entire third theater will inevitably be in chaos, and there will be loopholes in chaos.
The other half of the Fifth Army's strategy was to encircle the point and send reinforcements to eliminate the new forces that rushed back to the Third Theater of Operations. As long as Fuxing City can withstand it, then on the territory of the third war zone, what is left for Sampu is an unsolvable situation. If Sampu does not come back to help, with the combat strength of the Fifth Legion, he will lose some troops to take Lobit City, and there will be no problem at all.
Faced with the smoke of the fires everywhere, Samp didn't know what was going on at first, until he received a letter from the griffin the next day asking for help.
"Incredible, incredible!" Sampu thumped his feet and opened his mouth wide, he couldn't have imagined that Fuxing City and Higg, where everything was so calm and regular, would hide from the world and unknowingly enter his lair.
"Marshal, what to do!" The marching staff officer on the side asked anxiously.
"Panic what!" Sampu said angrily, "Hehe, this little cub of Higg, with 200,000 troops, dares to launch a surprise attack on the defense area of my third war zone, the tiger is not powerful, I really think that Ben Shuai is a sick cat!" The order was given, the army of Andalu Province immediately assembled in the city of Misland, and three days later, for whatever reason, if the commander did not arrive at the assembly point after three days, he was killed! ”
"Yes, Marshal!" The herald commanded.
"Lord Marshal, why are you assembling in the opposite direction? We're not going to reinforce Lobit City? The staff officer asked, "Where is our home?" ”
"You know what to worry about!" Sampu said angrily, "The main force is seven hundred kilometers away from Lobit City, we have completed the assembly, and we will return to the reinforcements in the rapid march, no matter how fast it is, it will be ten days later, with the combat strength of the Fifth Army, twice the strength, and take Lobit City in ten days, do you think there is a problem!" Lobit City is over, it's over, you know? No one can save it! ”
The staff officer said: "Even so, we can gather all the forces in the theater and counterattack back, they are only 200,000 people, and Lobit City is impregnable, even if they can take it, they will lose at least half of their troops!" ”
"Fools, people may not attack immediately!" Sampu said, "Xige, this little cub, will be saved when he attacks me, surround the point to send reinforcements, and want to destroy my reinforcement army, how can I be fooled!" He can surround and send reinforcements, why can't I? Fuxing City is just 200 kilometers to the south, hehe, the value of Fuxing City is always much higher than Lobit City, and there are only 50,000 defenders, and there has been no war for many years! Hehe, Ben Shuai has dreamed of it, and now I finally found a reason to attack Fuxing City, hahaha! I want to see if we attack Fuxing City, whether this little cub can save it or not! ”
"It turns out that the Marshal has put his main forces in Andalu Province in order to attack Fuxing City at any time?" The staff officer's eyes widened and said, "But no matter what, we also have to prepare with both hands, we have to fight Fuxing City, and we have to save Lobit City!" ”
"Well, that's pretty much it!" Sampu said with a smile, "Order: Let the garrison troops from all over the country assemble in the city of Oset, two hundred kilometers southwest of Lobit City, if Hig reinforces the city of Fuxing, they will immediately intercept and block the enemy's reinforcements, this commander does not require them to be able to defeat the reinforcements of the Fifth Army, but at least hold them off for ten days!" ”
"Yes, Marshal!" The herald took the order and departed.
"Order: General Cordillo reinforces the more than 200,000 Eastern Expeditionary troops in the Fifth War Zone all return to the city of Lobit, divide the troops in a hurry, assemble on the east bank of the Luojia River, and then cross the river to reinforce the city of Lobit, and do not divide the troops again, so as not to be broken by the enemy individually! It's no wonder that the march is slow, but if someone eats it because of the division of troops, the commander will behead the main general, deputy general, and staff officer together! ”
"Yes, Marshal!" The herald took the order and departed.
"Marshal, are you a little cautious?" The staff officer asked with a smile, "Could it be that this kid has three heads and six arms, besieged the city, and reinforced the revival city, and still has the ability to deal with our Eastern Expeditionary Army?" ”
"Hmph, this little cub is very cunning, better be careful!" Sampu laughed, "You go and do three things at once; First, immediately send someone to report this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make a decision on the current situation, hehe, we don't fight, they are coming to beat us, hahaha! Second, ask for reinforcements from the Fourth War Zone, just in case, even if they don't send troops, let them keep an eye on the battle situation here and cooperate with us at any time! Third, immediately request reinforcements from the 6th Theater of Operations, inform Field Marshal Adams of the actual situation, ask him to immediately attack the Revival Fleet from the sea, occupy the port of Fuxing City, and if possible, ask him to send a naval army to find a place from the sea and land on the beach! ”
The staff officer asked, "Adams seems to be very satisfied with his waterway agreement in recent years, and his relationship with Fuxing City is also very good, will they send troops?" ”
"He will!" Samp said, "It's not that he doesn't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, my third war zone and the sixth war zone are separated by water, if the third war zone is finished, will the home port of the sixth war zone still exist?" Where did his fleet dock later? ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" The staff officer said.
"In addition, send griffons to inform the coalition forces in the northeast to the Lakason Plateau, so that they can keep an eye on the army in the Silent Forest, and don't let another force of Higg enter our third theater to stir up trouble!"
"Yes, Marshal!" After the staff officer finished speaking, he hurried away.
In the tent, only Samp was left, and he had an ominous feeling in his heart, full of doubts. He had never paid attention to the Fifth Army before, that was not something he should worry about, his third war zone Lobit City and the Fifth Army Bavaria City two base camps gathered in a straight line distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers, even from the Luojia River is 1,800 kilometers, along the way the rivers are criss-crossed, full of swamps, self-thought to be a natural barrier, if you take a boat to the south, it is also full of dangerous shoals. But how did this guy do it? This is not a small force attack, but a large army of 200,000, even without these natural barriers, the coordination between the various armies, and the logistical support, it is impossible to completely cover the entire army......
