The dawn of the civil war in Alasia is just around the corner, and for more than ten years, this civil war has swept across the entire land of Alasia, causing endless disasters to the people of Erathia! But despite this, Higg, who had made a battle plan before launching an attack on Arad, couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Maybe people are so strange, defeating Arad and recovering Erathia, people will live a life away from the threat of war, but for Higg, there is a kind of loneliness without an opponent. For more than ten years, he has been working hard for this goal, in order to avenge his parents, in order to correct the name of the Fifth Legion, in order to completely eliminate the suffering of the war, and now, this goal and task is nearing the end, Higg feels that he is not very comfortable, he knows that there will be many things to do after the war, but more than ten years of habits, once the opponent of Arad is missing, the whole person will feel that something is missing, and a sense of loneliness for all heroes in ancient times comes to his heart......

Although there were still at least three months before the actual day of sending troops to fight, the entire Fifth Army Corps had already begun to enter the process of all-out war in such a cold winter season. A large number of military materials transported from the fortress are finished parts, mainly armor equipment, swords, guns and other soldier equipment, as well as a large amount of military grain and grass, and the real large-scale war equipment is completed in Bobo Hua City, such as crossbow chariots, catapults, bows and crossbows and other high-tech products, the Fifth Army does not want to outflow these unique technologies, so they all pull raw materials here for processing, and then transport them to various military divisions for equipment.

Higg was busy dispatching all kinds of supplies, and Simak was busy dispatching troops and generals, and all the troops were transferred to the designated positions according to the battle plan, and the whole army would attack immediately as soon as the battle broke out......

Winter went to spring, and three months gradually disappeared in the atmosphere of busy war! But wars are always full of fun and uncertainty, and just as Simak wanted to send Thomas's cavalry to the south, it was the Arad camp on the opposite side that launched the first group attack.

The Arad camp now has about two million troops in the Guanzhong Plain, including the first war zone, the second war zone, the fourth war zone, and the seventh war zone adapted from the original Fourth Army Corps, the number of troops in these four war zones was originally nearly three million, but after several years of conquest, they lost about 400,000 or more in the regular conquest of Catherine's first and second armies, and nearly 500,000 people in the Arad coalition army formed in the Luojia River Plain, plus when Higg eliminated the third war zone, The Fourth Legion was wiped out by Higg and Guayada alone, with 200,000 men, and the losses from the pressure of Catherine's 1st Legion were not below 200,000. Therefore, the troop losses of the Arad camp in the past few years, not counting the eliminated Third War Zone, the Sixth War Zone, and the Fifth War Zone that are about to be eliminated, the battle losses have reached 15.6 million, even if some soldiers are replenished, but the number of troops in the Guanzhong Plain is estimated to be about 2 million, which may also include Arad's own Praetorian Guard.

If we add in the several theaters that have been eliminated, Arad has definitely lost three million troops since Higg took over the Fifth Army. On the defensive side, Catherine's 1st and 2nd Legions suffered much smaller losses, and there were still about 1.8 million at present.

War is not simply you consume, I must also consume, but sometimes it is one and the other, the Fifth Army is like this, while fighting to absorb some troops and generals, while recruiting some new soldiers, as long as there is money and materials, and the fight is smooth, there is no fear of no source of soldiers.

The total strength of Catherine's camp is 2.6 million, the total strength of the First and Second Legions is 1.8 million, the total strength of the Fifth Army is close to 500,000 (including the defenders of the Roga River Plain and the Silent Forest), and the newly formed Third Army of Shante and Colenva is estimated to be no less than 300,000. In the overall situation, Catherine also has the advantage.

Generally speaking, the advantage of Catherine's camp is not very large, whether it is the total strength or the overall pattern, especially the third army of Shante does not fully control Camillo Province, there are still intricate power relations, the remnants of Arad's fifth theater of war are still stubbornly resisting, relying on religious forces to seize Camillo Province, there are also many sequelae due to religious problems, and there is also an unclear interest relationship with Auguston's forest country, so Shante's army is not among the decisive forces.

Since the strength of the two sides is not much different, in order to make the flames of war burn to their own territory, Arad decided to strike first, attacking from the north and south at the same time, first, so that the battlefield will not spread to their own territory, and second, it will completely disrupt Catherine's ready war deployment. I have to say that it is no accident that Arad can have today's achievements, and his army is not useless.

Allah's army went south, increased the defense line along the river from the Guanzhong Plain, launched a fierce attack on Catherine's 1st and 2nd armies, abandoned the defense, replaced the defense with attack, hit the hinterland of the 1st and 2nd armies, and drove straight in, forcing the 1st and 2nd armies to adjust their strategic offensive to strategic defense.

At the same time, the Guanzhong Plain also increased the number of troops to the Haman Plain by 150,000, bringing the total strength of the Haman Plain to 450,000 horses, which is equivalent to the strength of Orlando Province, where the Fifth Army is located.

"Hmph, Arad is dying!" Higg sneered, "He thought that by delaying our army's attack in this way, he could keep the current positional situation, it was a dream!" ”

"Lord Marshal, Arad's move is indeed fierce!" Simak frowned and said, "He used two hundred paladins to open the way, not to fight big cities, but to sweep the territory forces of the Haman Plain, and it seems that our army can only adjust the battle plan and destroy the enemies who dare to invade our territory first!" ”

"Hahaha, my Marshal Simak, are you also confused by Arad?" Higg laughed and said, "What Arad is playing with is what is left of our Fifth Legion!" Have you forgotten that ten years ago, I joined forces with you and set out from the Haman Plain to take Guanzhong directly, in order to disrupt Arad's offensive deployment, and Arad was fooled at that time, hahaha! Now that the balance of power between Arad and Catherine has been reversed, and he has also played this game, is it true that the initiators of the year, you and I, should be the same as Arad back then, and the enemy will lead the way? ”

"What if we are not fooled, will we allow Arad's army to disturb our rear?" Lu Fasi was also puzzled.

"Why did Arad do that?" Higg smiled, "It's because he knows that if we strike first and the war burns to his territory, he doesn't have too many troops to garrison!" In the current situation, Arad's defense can only concentrate on defending a certain place, and cannot fully deploy against our army, if our army launches an attack, he will lose territory, since everything is to be lost, why not take the initiative to occupy a part, the more complicated and chaotic the war situation is, the more advantageous it will be for the less powerful side, they can see the seams and look for opportunities to turn the tables. General Simaks, think about it, is our situation similar to that of Arad back then? ”

"That's true, because we were in a passive situation at that time, so we took the initiative to attack, sabotage Arad's military deployment, and unexpectedly obtained huge results!" "But Orlando is our home base after all, should we give it up?" ”

"Give up!" "For the Fifth Legion, there is no front and rear, and the whole of Erathia is our battlefield. Orlando Province is the place that has suffered the most since the Arad rebellion, and it has been affected by war for a long time, the population is sparse, the economy is backward, and the people are already struggling to make a living. ”

"Did Lord Marshal take this into account when he moved the base camp of the Fifth Army here?" SMS asked.

"Of course, I didn't take into account that Arad would play a preemptive strike, but I know that if it is used as a base camp, Bobo Hua City is not as good as the Luo Jia River Plain, but if it is used as a battlefield, Bobo Hua City will be the best!" "This is not our base camp, this is our battlefield!" ”

"Please give the marshal's order, how should we respond!" SMS said.

"Except for the 70,000 horses in the Kuba Fortress of the First Army Division, the other three army divisions attacked on all fronts, and no one was left!" Higg said.

"Do you even want to give up Bobo Huacheng?" Lu Fasi was surprised, "Here, almost all of our Fifth Army's war materials and military food reserves have been hoarded!" ”

"Ben Shuai will transfer 30,000 men from the Kuba Fortress to garrison Bobo Hua City!" Higg said, "Tell the whole army that the commander personally brought his family members and personally defended the city of Bobohua, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined!" ”

Simak and Lufasi gasped, Bobohua City is the location of the organs directly under the Fifth Army Corps, the concentration of all the officers' families, and 30,000 people can withstand the siege of the enemy who is more than ten times the Arad coalition army?

"Don't worry, Ben Shuai, Maria, Iona, and Christina will never give up Bobo Hua City until you break through the main level and enter the plain!" Higg said, "As for the cities of Van Gaal and Mountbatten, all the officers' families, military and political institutions have all moved to Bobohua City or the plain of the Rojia River, and all the materials and military rations in the city, whether they are transported by horse-drawn carts or by river, those that can be transported are transported away, and those that cannot be transported are burned or distributed to the citizens on the spot to flee, and then the walls are cleared, and there can be no materials and food for the enemy!" Don't feel sorry for these things outside your body, these are bargains, and don't feel sorry for the people, their willfulness is much stronger than ours, and we do this for more people, in order to shorten the time of their suffering! ”

"Lord Marshal, 30,000 people will defend Bobo Hua City, and 40,000 people will defend Kuba Fortress, can you hold it?" SMS is worried!

"Whether you can hold it or not, it's not up to Ben Shuai and General Habaisa, it's about you!" Higg laughed, "Hehe, I'd like to see, I don't care about my Orlando province, I don't care about the plains of Haman, and Arad doesn't care about the vast expanse of rich territory south of the Haman River?" As long as you fight reasonably, are you still afraid that these more than 400,000 people will not defend themselves? Arad, let Ben Shuai see how strong you are in the end! Execute the order! ”

"Yes, Marshal!" Simak and Lufasi replied with a military salute.
