A meteor shower almost laid the victory or defeat in the offensive and defensive battle of Bobo Hua City. The whole army and people in the city were united and enthusiastic, and everyone had no doubt that they could win this battle; The long and the short, the siege side, the city wall has repeatedly failed, and the south gate, which is the most promising to be breached, was instantly defeated, they seem to have no light at all, their morale plummeted, and even Ma Potter himself completely lost any confidence in victory.

Although the besieging side still has an army of nearly 400,000, there are many defenders in the city, the Fifth Army only lost more than 5,000 people, the overall strength is still there, and there are 100,000 citizens who go to the city to help defend, with a large number of materials available, even the crossbow chariot is broken and broken, and it is too lazy to move to the city, directly as a weapon to the city, for a new one, the arrows are not afraid of you waste, I am afraid that you will not shoot out, eat and drink without worry, hot meals and hot dishes can be eaten, just the citizens of logistics support, it will reach 200,000 people, if you count according to the head, The ratio of the number of people involved in this battle inside and outside the city is almost the same, and don't forget that although the enemy still has 400,000, there are nearly 100,000 cavalry who will not play any role when the city is not broken.

Higg is sometimes directly involved in the battle, sometimes he controls the overall situation, and strategizes, he no longer needs to expose the magic power of the magic mage to control the atmosphere of this battle, one is too manatic, and the other is that he has already attracted the attention of the magic guild, he can't be too public, as long as there are no multiple crises, with a strengthened version of the magic skill like Meteor Shower, it is enough to deal with the situation.

……

In addition to the corpses piled up under the city, the soldiers and civilians defending the city also suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and both sides knew very well that it was meaningless to continue this battle.

If you want to recover some of the situation, you can only rely on your own and fully formed cavalry and paladins to strike at the main force of the Fifth Army to the south, hoping to form a north-south attack with the defenders of the Guanzhong Plain against the main force of the Fifth Army. After all, the 100,000 cavalry, including the 200-strong Paladin, was still a tooth of pride for himself, especially on the northern plains before entering Guanzhong, he believed that he could still achieve brilliant results.

The original Ma Potter did not see the strategy of flanking the north and south, but wanted to capture the important strategic goal of Bobo Hua City, and by the way, after obtaining a large number of army supplies, he then waved his division south to compete with the Fifth Army Corps, and now the first strategic goal has not been achieved, so he can only retreat to the second, after all, he still has a corps of 350,000 people, and there is no military rations to plunder along the way, where can he manage so much, after relying on cavalry to defeat the enemy's infantry, replenish the materials of his main force, and feed the war with war, it is not impossible.

……

Seeing more than 300,000 troops march away overnight, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city cheered, but Hig was not as happy as them.

"What's wrong, victorious, unhappy?" Iona asked with a smile.

"I thought I could hold Marpot for a few more days, but I didn't expect this guy to be very interesting and ran away!" Higg smiled wryly.

"What's wrong with that?" Maria was also puzzled, "The whole city is celebrating the victory, but the boss is at a loss!" ”

"Victory is good for us, but it comes too quickly, Mapote is moving south, and Simak and Lufasi are in danger!" Higg said, "The enemy must think that our main force is attacking Yuping Pass, so Ma Porte's cavalry will inevitably rush to Yuping Pass, and the right flank of Simak and Lu Faxi who feints to attack Yuping Pass is the right wing army of Simak and Lu Faxi, only 80,000 people, and there are very few cavalry, how can they resist the cavalry attack of the enemy who has the Lord has the Paladin Legion?" Now they have only been on the expedition for twenty days, and the journey is only more than half of the journey at most, if Ma Porte's cavalry is separated from their main force, and they go directly to Yuping Pass, I think the time for the two armies to reach Yuping Pass is almost the same, and Simak does not even have a chance to feint to attack Yuping Pass, and will face the attack of the opponent's cavalry! If our side can delay Marpot for a few more days, the situation may be a little better! ”

"Hehe, eating from the bowl and boiling the pot, you think far ahead! So what now? Maria asked with a smile. Higg is right, in this way, Lu Fasi is likely to be wiped out, although he is the commander of the expedition, but not the middle route army, but hanging the handsome flag to feint to attack Yuping Pass, in order to make the enemy think that the real main force of the Fifth Army is in Yuping Pass, but unexpectedly it will be Simak and Lu Fasi into death, if it is Mevo's Chinese Guards Battalion may also be able to fight with the cavalry on the plain, Simak and Lu Fasi's right flank, but the weakest army of the Fifth Army, compared to Elva has 40,000 Royal Janissaries are not as good, The number of people is also the smallest, and Maria hurriedly said: "Why don't you hurry up and contact Thomas and ask him to lead reinforcements?" ”

Higg shook his head and said: "No, Thomas and Mevo's army has other tasks, the order to seize the Guanzhong Plain has been issued, we can't change the order overnight, otherwise, entangled with Ma Pote outside the Guanzhong Plain, we will have a lot of dreams at night!" ”

"You want to give up the car to protect the handsome?" Mary was amazed, "Let the 80,000 men of Simak be surrounded by the enemy? ”

Higg said with a smile: "To save the Right Route Army of Simak and Lu Faxi, you can only break through Dongning Pass and Wupara Pass, and then enter the Guanzhong Plain, attack Yuping Pass from the inside of the Guanzhong Plain, and after opening the Yuping Pass, drive the entire Right Route Army into Yuping Pass and into the Guanzhong Plain!" So, the marching plan of Thomas and Mevo's army cannot be changed at will! ”

"When Mewo's main force breaks through the Wupara Pass and enters the Guanzhong Plain, and then defeats the Yuping Pass, will there still be an army of 80,000 in Simak and Lufasi?" Maria said.

"General Maria!" Hig Zhengse said, "Ben Shuai is now officially reinstated as a general, are you willing to go to the front line?" ”

"To the front?" Mary was stunned for a moment, then saluted and said, "The last general is willing!" ”

Higg said: "The main expedition of the Fifth Army Corps is too hasty, a large number of military supplies and rations are not with the army, this commander orders you to form a wartime logistics force of the Fifth Army Corps from tomorrow, and all the materials must be transported along the river to the city of Corina, and the left army of General Elva will be joined to transport the materials to Dongning Pass by land!" The first batch of supplies must depart within three days, and within ten days, all supplies will leave the port! ”

"It's a long way to transport from Corina City to Dongning Pass, why don't you just use a horse-drawn carriage to transport it to Dongning Pass?" Mary wondered.

"Are you stupid?" "The Leiden River flows from northwest to southwest, and Dongning Pass is almost due south of Bobo Huacheng, and from here you have to cross many tributaries of the Leiden River, and the Haman River is one of them, and these tributaries are all east-west, and how many boats and wagons do you have to change boats and wagons to cross these rivers?" Besides, the land route is still an enemy-occupied area, and there are still many remnants of the Fourth War Zone, so there will be a lot of trouble! But after the supplies poured into Corina City, and then transported the supplies to Dongning Pass, it was by land from east to west, so there was no such trouble with the river! Don't worry, Elva has already collected the carriage in advance there, and when you get there, you will discuss the arrangements, and you have already cooperated! ”

"Okay, the last general will take the order!" Maria said, "Jesse, General Ben is on an expedition with the army, and Christina will be taken care of by you first!" ”

"It's annoying to have more bear children for me!" Jesse was dissatisfied.

Iona was amazed, even transporting supplies, there must be so much consideration, preferring to take a long detour to the east rather than take the plains crisscrossed by rivers, which is unbelievable to the witches, they wish to be crisscrossed by rivers everywhere.

"Iona, I want you to go back to the Witch Clan and continue to provide me with military supplies!" Higg said, "Although this offensive and defensive battle was victorious, it consumed a huge amount of supplies, in order not to make the expedition of the Fifth Army because of the problem of military supplies, I still have to make more preparations!" However, I don't have any funds for you for the time being, even if I borrow from the witch clan temporarily, when the war is over, I will return it with interest! ”

Iona was about to say something, when she saw a voice next to her, and said with a smile, "This fund should have been from the witch clan, so what do you need to talk about, right, Iona?" ”

"Blue Fairy?" Higg exclaimed, "Why are you back?" Okay, we're working hard here, and when the song is over, you're there? ”

"If it weren't for you, the magic mage, I wouldn't know what happened here!" Lan Xian'er smiled.

"Troublesome?" Higg asked, puzzled, "What's the trouble?" ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "Master Altai told me that Delonso colluded with the Fifth Legion in Bobo Hua City, violating the rules of the Magic Guild, and the Magic Guild is meeting on Rainbow Island to discuss what to do!" Hehe, Delongso's black cauldron is a little wronged! ”

"Hehe, this matter is indeed strange, our Fifth Legion is also cooperating with the Magic Guild to investigate!" Higg smirked, and then said in confusion, "You just said that you would let Iona's witch clan provide us with supplies for free?" Although you are a family, you are too invisible, right? Witches are witches, Iona is Iona, can I make witches pay for the Fifth Legion? ”

"I'm out of sight?" Lan Xian'er said indignantly, "The Fifth Legion is the Fifth Legion, you Hig is your Higer, why do you always pay out of your own pocket for the Fifth Legion for military expenses, why don't you pay attention to seeing the outside and seeing the inside?" When you used the money, why didn't you think to ask the three of us if we agreed or not? ”

"We're one yard to one yard!" Higg smiled awkwardly, "First of all, why should the witch clan pay for us?" ”

"I'm willing to pay for the military expenses of the Fifth Legion!" Iona smiled, "Now that some of the accounts between the Fifth Legion and the Witch Clan have not been settled, these bills will be waived, and at the same time, the orders received by the Fifth Legion within this year will be provided at half price, how about it?" ”

"What the hell are you doing?" Higg looked at Iona in surprise and then at Blue Fairy, unable to figure out what the two women were doing in private.

"But I have one condition!" Iona said, "The Fifth Legion must sell the most advanced crossbow chariots and crossbow technology to the Witch Clan at this price!" ”

"You want the technology of a repeater chariot and a crossbow?" Higg exclaimed, "Why didn't you say it earlier, what's going on?" Still want money? But do you witches need these things? ”

"Don't pretend!" Iona laughed, "If you don't want money, you won't have these things on your purchase order for the Witches!" This is not a deal between me and you, it is a deal between the Fifth Legion and the Witch Clan, why don't we want money because of our relationship? We don't need these things, it has nothing to do with you! ”

"I swear, we never said we wouldn't give you technology, it must be Daniel or Simak or Lufasi!" Higg shook his words, and then smiled again, "However, since this is a deal between the Fifth Legion and the Witch Clan, we are only representing, these interests are still necessary, and I myself agree to do as you say!" ”

"Okay, but you are not allowed to take any more benefits from our trade with the Harlandor of the Prairie Grassland!" Iona laughed.

"A deal with the Harando Clan? If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it! Higg said, "The condition I negotiated with Genada was only to establish a money bank system in Fuxing City among your two forces, and your transactions should be settled by Fuxing City's paper money, and I never thought of taking a commission in it!" But, Iona, isn't it the same with your commission? Your money, not mine yet? ”

"Hmph, you're too much of a bully!" Jesse said angrily, "The crossbow chariot and the crossbow are Noah's inventions, why do you say sell them, and you don't ask Noah if he agrees or not!" Even if Noah agrees, shouldn't he have a part of these interests? ”

"Tut-tut!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Miss Jesse, I didn't expect you to be your Noah's guardian and agent before you passed the door!" However, you are still a little tender, the technology of the crossbow chariot and the crossbow was bought from General Noah by the Fifth Army with the rank of a general, do you think General Noah's rank was for nothing? If you don't believe it, you can just ask someone in the Fifth Army Corps, isn't that so? ”

"Okay, wow, it turns out that you have set up a set and waited here for it, but that won't work!" Jesse didn't care about what Lan Xian'er said about her relationship with Noah, but now she was fighting for interests, "Brother Higg, you must give me an explanation, don't bully Noah!" ”

"Oh, you women's business is trouble!" Higg looked left and right and smiled, "I've been tired for more than ten days, I haven't slept well, I'm going back to sleep with Christina, you continue to argue, the result of the quarrel is out, just tell me!" ”

After saying that, he really disappeared without looking back, leaving only Jesse's insults on the city gate......
