Chapter 506: The Fortress Changes Banners
The barbarian army of the Gran Fortress could not withstand the attack of the witch army led by Iona herself, and was forced to withdraw from the Gran Fortress, with more than 20,000 people, fleeing to the barbarian land after dawn.
However, Iona did not stop the fighting, and entered the fortress with the original 50,000 reserve mobile troops, while she continued to lead her 50,000 troops to cross the fortress and enter the border of the barbarian country, pursuing the army of the barbarian country that broke through and defended the fortress.
The army of the barbarian country was routed along the main road all the way to the northeast, and when it was almost noon, it encountered the logistics supply convoy transported to the Ural Grand Canyon, and the number of troops escorting the supplies was not large, only an army of three or four thousand people, and they were unprepared for the rout of their own army, and before they could meet the witch's army, the whole convoy turned around and retreated.
However, the purpose of Iona's pursuit of the defeated army is this logistics convoy, how can it be spared? An hour later, the entire convoy had been captured almost intact, and Iona ordered the pursuit to be halted and escorted back to the Gran Fortress.
At the same time, the fortress of Gran was attacked by the army in the Ural Grand Canyon, and the barbarian army immediately organized an attack to retake the fortress when the witch army was not firmly established and was not fully familiar with the fortress. Although the witch clan has not stabilized its foothold, the attack of the barbarian country is even more hasty, half a catty against eight taels, a scuffle, both sides have dead and wounded, until after dark, the offensive has no intention of stopping, and the fortress city has been full of corpses of the barbarian army.
Daniel witnessed the fierce battle between the two armies, and the army of witches who defended the danger was clearly superior.
The army of witches was originally defensive, the thickest shield in Middle-earth, and it was a must to defend the city, and it was easy to face the army of barbarian countries.
The Barbarian army is the sharpest spear in Middle-earth, and it is not inferior to any other force in Middle-earth in terms of attack power, but it is the attack power of encounters in the wilderness, and they are helpless against the fortress guarded by the witch army who are good at defense.
Iona escorted the supply convoy back to Gran Fortress until late at night, and the close death exchange between the two sides against Gran Fortress was not over, and both the army of the witch clan and the army of the barbarian nation were exhausted.
The barbarian country knows that there is no hope of attacking the city, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to take the Gran Fortress at this time, and it will be difficult to wait until the witch army gains a firm foothold and wants to capture it.
However, at this time, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't do it, because their rear, the military camp in Savile Town, was being attacked by the defenders of the Kuba Fortress of the Fifth Army, and the desperate barbarian army could only temporarily retreat back.
Back to Saver Town, the big camp here has been changed beyond recognition, the entire camp was almost burned, all the slaves in Savile Town were basically contained by the Kuba Fortress, which is equivalent to the entire Ural Grand Canyon, only less than 200,000 troops of the barbarian country remained, the granaries were burned, the weapons depot was burned, the barracks collapsed, and all small passages were blocked, the meaning of the witch army and the Fifth Legion was very clear, that is, to trap the army of the barbarian country, and let them pay for the arrogance of the barbarian country with their lives for more than a year!
But in fact, there is another place in Sappho Town that has become very lively, that is, the Swan Lake space in the fairy wreath, 10,000 troops are stationed in it, and the Paladin Legion was originally trained in Swan Lake, so the side of the barbarian army in the Ural Grand Canyon has actually buried the hidden danger of death, even if they can break through any fortress, Higg can also use this ambush army to put it to death and survive, invincible.
The barracks were destroyed and the supplies burned, leaving the barbarian army in the Ural Grand Canyon like a lost dog, so they had to abandon the base camp in the town of Saffo and move to the town of Linchel on their side, leaving only a small part of the army stationed in the direction of the fortress of Kuba, and at the same time in the town of Zinglai in the country of Suize, the army was also arranged to keep an eye on the fortress of Jersey. The barbarian army, which had been walking sideways in the Ural Grand Canyon a few days ago, was now embattled and had no hope of breaking through, so it could only wait for reinforcements from within the country, and at the same time have to guard against a sudden attack on the three fortresses at any time.
Desperate situation!
When the barbarian army re-handled the affairs of its own barracks, they found that the Gran Fortress was already in full swing, and on the ground inside and outside the entire fortress, wooden wedges were used to dig deep into the ground, sharpening the top surface of the wooden wedges, and any beast accidentally stepped on it, and had to be injured or even killed. If you want to attack a fortress, you have to be exposed to the enemy's range to clear these obstacles, which is really a headache.
The barbarian country reacted the fastest, and it would take ten days for the army to reach the Gran Fortress, and at that time, it would be possible to break through the checkpoints they had built by attacking both inside and outside the Gran Fortress.
But ten days, it should have been the day of replenishment, but now that the supply has not arrived, most of the original military rations and materials have been burned again, and after ten days, how much combat strength does this army have?
……
"Elder, what do you mean by Mizusawa Country?" The Barbarian Army of the Ural Grand Canyon sent an emissary to question Iona about her undeclared war against the Barbarian Nation, and said loudly in anger, "Is this the national will of your Mizusawa Country, or is this the private action of the Witch Clan themselves?" ”
"Hmph, the turtle in the urn will become a prisoner under the stairs, and he dares to question this seat like this!" Iona was annoyed, but sneered, "Of course, this seat represents the army of Mizusawa Country!" ”
The envoy was shocked, and said compulsively: "Impossible, the Mizusawa country has always been friendly with our barbarian country, and we have always dealt with Erathia together, how can we fight in the same room and fight without declaring a war?" ”
"Hahaha, in the same room?" Iona laughed and said, "Who is in the same room with you?" Isn't undeclared war exactly what you barbarians have always done? How many times have you used troops against Alacia, which one was not a surprise attack? Mizusawa has been dragged into the water by you many times and has suffered a lot! Why, undeclared war became the patent of your barbarian nation? ”
"Our two countries were originally aimed at Erathia, and have been like this for more than a hundred years, why are you now colluding with Erathia to deal with our barbarian country?" The messenger asked.
"When did this seat collude with Aracya?" Iona said angrily, "You are a small envoy of the Second Legion of the Barbarian Country, you dare to slander this seat, if it weren't for the friendship between the two countries for many years, this seat would have made your head fall to the ground!" ”
"Since it doesn't have anything to do with Alasia, then we really can't figure it out, why did you send troops against us?" The messenger continued unrelentingly.
"So, I would like to ask, why have you repeatedly violated the tripartite armistice agreement signed thirty years ago?" Iona sneered.
"Our army is only carrying out His Majesty's orders!" The envoy quibbled, "The armistice agreement is not a peace agreement, and it does not stipulate that no further war can be fought after the armistice is signed!" ”
"Hahaha, you're right, our army is only carrying out His Majesty's orders!" Iona smiled, "So, it seems that you asked the wrong person the question just now, why did you send troops, this doesn't seem to be the question to be answered by this seat!" ”
"We fought against Alasia because Alasia has a blood feud with us!" The messenger said, "But we have not committed any offence against you Mizusawa Country!" ”
Iona said with a smile: "The town of Singlay in the Ural Grand Canyon is an important material import and export channel for our Shuize country, 100,000 people live in the town, radiating the livelihood of millions of people, you barbarian countries can fight if you want, and if you want to occupy the Ural Grand Canyon, you will occupy the Ural Grand Canyon, have you ever given an explanation or compensation to millions of people in our Shuize country?" Don't forget, the Ural Grand Canyon is not only the barbarian country and Alasia, but also the territory and interests of our Mizusawa country, you always use troops privately to provoke wars, and dare to say that you have not committed any crimes with our Mizusawa country? ”
"Whether there is an explanation or compensation, we don't know, presumably the royal families of the two countries have communicated!" The messenger said.
"Since there has been communication, why did Your Majesty order this seat to march into the Gran Fortress?" Iona smiled, "In the end, I, like you, act on the orders of the king, we are only executors, not decision-makers, and I have no way of knowing what the top thinks!" If the messenger asks again, I have nothing to say! If you want to resolve the conflict of this incident, it is up to your barbarian royal family and the Mizusawa royal family to send envoys to each other, and we will negotiate specifically, and our army will implement it! ”
"Negotiation? My nearly 200,000 troops are trapped in the Ural Grand Canyon and are in danger, so how can we have time to negotiate? The envoy said, "I also ask the elder to make way for our army to return home smoothly, what conditions does the elder have, just mention it!" ”
"Returning home?" Iona was puzzled, "I haven't received a military order to let you go back to China, do you want me to disobey the king's orders?" Rest assured, as long as you don't fight, this seat guarantees that the Jersey Fortress and the Gran Fortress will not take the initiative to attack you, you just need to wait quietly until this seat receives the next order from His Majesty! However, if you have other ideas and want to break through, the Ural Grand Canyon is your burial place! ”
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!" The messenger said anxiously, "Can't the elder? ”
"Jokes?" Iona sneered, "I don't need you to teach this seat how to lead the army!" When the king's life is not affected by the foreign king's life, it is an emergency, and it is better to offend the king than to complete his goal! But can this seat offend the king now? I don't have any friendship with your barbarian country, and I can't talk about emotion, so you'd better be patient! I know that you are in difficulty, and it is not easy to come to see this seat, so this seat will give you ten carts of military rations, and I will talk about it after this period first! Hahaha, that's it, Lord Emissary, please come back! ”
"You ......"
……
"Hahaha, the elder is a good means!" Watching the messenger leave in disgrace, Daniel laughed and said, "Put all the blame on His Majesty Nasri, and when they toss back and forth, it is estimated that after the two kings figure it out, the daylily will be cold!" However, isn't the elder afraid that Nasri will settle accounts after the fall? ”
"Settle accounts!" Iona smiled, "I'm trying to settle this account with him, the situation of the witch clan is already like this, how can it be worse?" Didn't Prince Daniel want us to do the military business? The army of the witch clan is stationed in the fortress of Jersey and is not leaving, and it is justified to transport military supplies from the city of Donindo here! ”
"Hahaha, you're right, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes!" Daniel smiled, "We witch clan have a strong army, but there is no matching living space, this needs us to fight for it ourselves, if Nasri understands the reason, we will talk about it, if we don't understand the reason, if necessary, break the jar and break it, hahaha!" ”
"Who do you say is the broken jar?"
