Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 20 Great Change
Balins could clearly feel the changes in the Kaman army under the city wall. It has been two consecutive days that no army has launched an attack. , but this also gave the already exhausted soldiers an extremely rare respite. Whatever the reason, it gave his side a coveted break.
The attack power of the Kamanians is too powerful. Although they had been mentally prepared and even thought they overestimated a bit, when the Kamanians actually launched an attack, Ballins discovered that the opponent was known as the number one in Liberia. The military power deserves its name, and it is not exaggerated at all. Whether it is from the complicated siege equipment, to the unpredictable attack methods, or the quality of the soldiers participating in the exhibition, Barrins is amazed by everything.
After ten days of continuous storming and the cooperation of advanced siege weapons, it only took three days to completely fill up the moat, which was regarded as a natural moat. Although the Kamans also paid a considerable price, this It was also the beginning of the nightmare of the Terok soldiers. The successive waves of attacks that followed made the fortifications of Merrington City, which had always been considered indestructible, suddenly look thinner. I was so fragile, if I hadn't prepared for it, it would be hard to say whether I could survive it.
There were more than 50,000 elite soldiers of the coalition army, including more than 30,000 of them. Most were either killed or lost combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the people in Merrington City also knew the severity of this war. Within a day after the emergency conscription order was issued, 30,000 strong and strong men were recruited, and weapons were immediately distributed, ready to be put into the battlefield as reserve soldiers at critical moments. It's just that even Barrings himself has no idea how strong this unit's combat effectiveness is.
During that difficult week, like a normal year, Barrins persisted until late at night almost every day. In addition to arranging military affairs, he also personally led a patrol team to prevent the Kamanians from sneaking in late at night. At one point, Barrins was also a little discouraged, thinking of the 200,000 enemy troops under the city, he would not be able to persist until the end, and the huge gap between the strength of the two armies made him feel secretly depressed. After one month, the outcome would definitely be the destruction of the city. Instead of this, it is better to compromise earlier, and maybe win some favorable conditions. These thoughts that made him feel ashamed passed through his mind more than once, although it was only Passing by made him feel deeply ashamed, but this kind of hopeless war, even he has no idea, how can he make the soldiers face it with confidence?
Standing silently on the top of the city like a stone statue and looking down into the distance, the enemy's camp is still silent. It seems that there will probably not be an attack today. He has experienced many battles, but such a cruel war with no hope of dawn has exhausted him both physically and mentally. He can drag on for a day, and he doesn't even know what caused Kaman to suspend the offensive. I am willing to think about it, I just want to go back to the mansion and have a good sleep alone.
But as the city defense coach's reason and responsibility, he told himself that this is a question that must be carefully explored. What is the reason that will stop the enemy who has already taken the absolute advantage? This question has actually been circling in Barlins' mind for a long time. For this reason, he also discussed it with Qin Feng, the chief general of the Allied Army, but ruled out the possibility of reinforcements from the imperial army and the illusory reasons such as sudden changes in Kaman's country. , there is only one possibility in front of us, that is, Princess Anne and Reid's trip to the northwest achieved their goal, and Li Wufeng accepted the exchange conditions and sent troops, but this is only a possibility, and it cannot be verified now, in case Is it the false airs put on by the Kamans, but they are secretly preparing for a more violent attack?
Letting out a long breath, Ballins shook his head in pain, alas, it is really a headache, but what I need more right now is to strengthen my defenses, as for any changes outside, there is nothing I can do , can only wait and see the change.
"Dominic, I'll leave this to you." The moment the silver-haired coach in military uniform got on his horse, he patted the solemn Marquis of Dominic, "At most half a month, we Then we can meet again."
"Don't worry, Commander, Dominic will do everything possible to complete the task assigned to me by the Commander." A flush flashed across Marquis Dominic's face, and he gave a military salute forcefully and said, "As long as I, Dominic One day, Li Wufeng's army will not be allowed to cross this front."
With a slight smile, a confident expression flashed on Mailey's face, "You don't have to worry too much, the guard of Merrington City Barrings is an extremely cautious and suspicious person. The courage of the Teroks has been shattered, and now we suddenly stop attacking, and Merrington City is completely surrounded by us, and it is impossible to get in touch with the outside world at all. Under the influence of the lack of accurate information and the huge loss of his subordinates, I conclude that he would never dare to take this risk to go out of the city to fight!"
Hearing the coach's affirmative analysis, Dominic's heart brightened. To be honest, although he thanked the coach for giving him such a difficult task, the situation before him was that Li Wufeng's five divisions had more than 110,000 troops. The man has already pressed over, and he still has the nail of Merrington City behind him. It has always been a taboo for military strategists to suffer from the enemy, and he also has considerable concerns.
"What do you mean, Commander, that I only need to deal with Li Wufeng from the west?" Asked thoughtfully, the light of hope in Dominic's eyes flashed again.
"Well, you just need to firmly hold back Li Wufeng's main force, don't rush to a decisive battle with him, and strengthen the outer siege of Merrington City to prevent outside news from flowing into Merrington City. The Northwest Army on the southern front, I will return to the division immediately." Although Mai Li looked confident in front of his subordinates, there was still a trace of worry deep in his heart. If Barrings in Merrington City saw through this point, That would bring catastrophe to the entire army, but based on his understanding of Ballins' character, he was 90% sure that he would not dare to do so. As for the remaining 10%, he could only gamble. Here we go.
"My lord, don't worry, hehe, if you only deal with the pressure from Li Wufeng's side, with an army of 80,000, I, Dominic, will try my best to hold him back. If I can't even do this, I'm afraid I should be here Disappeared on the battlefield." Dominic smiled proudly, and with the assurance from the coach, his heart became much more at ease. Although Li Wufeng was resourceful, the two armies were fighting against each other right now, and what they were fighting for was strength. He had absolute confidence in the strength of his corps. Confidence, as long as you stay the same and respond to all changes, there should be no problem in maintaining it for half a month.
Mailey chose Dominic to stay behind and preside over the overall defense. He also took a fancy to Dominic's rich experience, calmness and maturity. With his experience and an elite army of 80,000, he should be able to deal with Li Wufeng for a while. Li Ye is also optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. After all, the Northwest Army has not been established for a long time. Although it experienced a war with the Luobei people, the Northwest Army at that time had not yet formed. After that, the Northwest Army expanded rapidly, but it did not Having experienced any real battles, with such an army, Mailey doubts their real combat effectiveness. Maybe they look good during training, but it is not necessarily true when they are used to compete on the battlefield.
"Well, then I'm relieved." Mai Lifei got on the horse, took a deep look at the large army that was quietly advancing southeast through the night, turned around and warned again: "Remember, don't attack lightly. , but don’t be too weak, you must not let the Teroks in Merrington know the real situation here, let them be suspicious, and when they wake up, I should return in triumph.”
"Don't worry, Commander, your subordinates will remember." Facing this meritorious commander, Dominic dared not neglect him in the slightest.
On the night of May 16, 696 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the main force of the Kaman army trapped outside the city of Merrington was led by the coach Mai Li~IndoMTL.com~ quietly bypassed the city of Merrington, headed southward at a starry night, and went straight to the hundred Sixty miles away, the Northwest Army's southern army. On May 20th, Mai Li led an army of 120,000 to firmly bite the three divisions of the Northwest Army's southern line, and besieged them at the junction of Jieluk and Lulong. A tough battle was about to break out.
At the same time, the army on the northwest west front that had advanced to less than 60 miles from the city of Merrington also encountered resistance from the Kaman army. Wufeng, who originally didn't want to entangle with the main force of Kaman, immediately noticed Considering the abnormality of the situation, although the enemy is extremely tenacious, they are unwilling to confront him head-on, which makes Wufeng very strange. This skill is the method he is going to use. Why did the other party suddenly adopt the same method against Ang? Could it be that the situation in their country has undergone tremendous changes, and the Boyin people have suddenly been tamed?
Wufeng thought hard about the incident, until a secret letter sent by Xuege finally solved the mystery in his heart.
"Mai Li, Mai Li, you are worthy of being the twin pillars of the Kaman army." Gently throwing the secret document on the desk, Wu Feng was filled with emotion, although Mai Li's move was extremely vicious, Pushing himself into a rather passive position all of a sudden, Wufeng still admired the opponent's quickness and quickness of action. He only grasped that his two lines were not in harmony with each other, so he made such a big move.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Sha Lang and Kang Jianguo who got the news first rushed to the commander's tent to understand the situation.
"Hey, when the soldiers come to block you, and the water comes to cover you, Mai Li's appetite is too big. Do you really treat our Northwest Army like a persimmon?" Wufeng sneered, "Wait a minute, wait for Cui Wenxiu, Song Tianxiong and Qi Bolin are here, let's have a good discussion."
