Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 64 Fortified City

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the main force of the standing army of the alliance to pay attention to this place. The people of Cologne have successfully dragged the main force of the standing army of the alliance into the quagmire. To be honest, the situation of the alliance is not very good now. Although the Famini Empire and the allies have reluctantly put aside their disputes, it is because of the conflict between the Leeds and the Famini. Fort and the alliance have fallen into a stalemate, I am afraid that the Famini will turn their wolf-like eyes to the east, and then I am afraid that we will be in more trouble."

Niasis sighed softly. This is not a problem that he should be concerned about, but now facing the bad situation in Birja, the alliance obviously has no spare troops to reinforce here. The only hope is probably the Hanoverians , but can the strength of the Hanoverians counter the Tang army's attack? Niasis didn't have any confidence in his heart.

Isn't Steven like this? Birja is certainly important to the people of Hanover, but if they are asked to send the main reinforcements at this time, I am afraid they may not be willing to do it. Almost all the standing army has been transferred to the south. The Hanoverians should have about 100,000 troops at their disposal. Apart from the troops that must be left to defend the capital Bergen, one regiment is probably the limit. The problem lies in Hanover. Do people dare to devote this corps without reservation? Failure in this battle may affect the survival of the entire Principality of Hanover.

"Look, we can only do our best and obey the destiny. If the Allied Army can't come to help, then it depends on the attitude of the Hanoverians. If they can come up with a corps to help, then I can only say sorry." Steven was full of resignation, the Tang army was powerful, and the White Stork Corps alone could not compete, but if there was another Hannover Corps, with the strength of Birja's fortified city and the light cavalry of the White Stork Corps, Steven would really like to weigh it Let's take a look at how high the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is.

Cui Wenxiu did not expect that this white stork corps would be so difficult to deal with. Huyanqiu's 7th corps plus two ranger corps were firmly held back by the white stork corps in the central part of the province of Destin, and their progress was slow. It took a full two weeks to clear the obstacles and pass through this section of the mountainous area, and they arrived in Birja even later than Ying Jianming's Indian Army, which made Hu Yanqiu feel rather dull.

Cui Wenxiu had seen the city defense structure of Birja long ago on the blueprints, but after actually arriving in Birja, Cui Wenxiu realized that his original idea was a bit too idealistic. The fortress wall connects each castle, and the fortress wall is not like those cities in the Eastern Continent, which are mostly built of adobe bricks. The fortress walls here are almost all made of pure rock, which is extremely hard. And it is quite flat and smooth. It is almost impossible for a catapult to break down this kind of city wall, and the interlaced fortress walls are also different from those square walls, forming multiple attack points, which can attack the city wall. posed a great threat. To win this battle is far from as simple as he thought at the beginning. At this time, Cui Wenxiu understood why the White Stork Corps fled back here immediately after being attacked. This place is indeed a good place to stop.

Both the Seventh Army and the Indian Army have arrived at the city of Birja. With the addition of a few ranger regiments, the strength of the Tang army has quadrupled that of the opponent, but the rangers have basically lost their use in this place, Bill The steep Bakla Mountains in the south of Jan blocked the way, while to the north was the Stana Mountains in the Eastern Province of the Duchy of Hanover. Influenced by it, Birja became a test field for western castle-style architecture in Indian land.

Cui Wenxiu, who had carefully inspected the geographical terrain, returned to the tent with a gloomy face. But it is not big. Except for some gains in Blue Castle, Tang Jun has almost nothing in central Destin and Dexin Province, and even paid a certain price. Cui Wenxiu is undoubtedly unwilling to see such a war progress, although Hu Yanqiu is also an old friend, but Cui Wenxiu still gave the Seventh Legion admonishing the speed of progress with a stern voice, and the regiment commanders of the two Ranger regiments were also scolded by Cui Wenxiu. A bad omen for war.

The atmosphere in the tent was somewhat depressing, Cui Wenxiu sat upright, silently watching the topographic map hanging inside the tent. The Destin area is indeed the most complicated area in the West Indian region, and one of the main reasons is that the people here believe in the Holy Spirit, so that they are more emotionally inclined to the neighbors to the west. Every action can be quickly responded to the White Stork Legion. It is no wonder that the Imperial Army entered the Destin area as if it stepped into a darkness full of hostility all around. Become ambiguous, forcing the army's actions to be cautious at every step.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it. The city of Birja is in front of us. How to take it down? You all have to share your views. I won't say much about the importance of Birja city. Take it down." We can ensure the stability of the entire West Indian region, and even threaten the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians. If we cannot take it, not only Destin, but Mina, Dexin and even Fahan may be harassed by the Hansen Alliance at any time. So we are determined to win this city!" Cui Wenxiu glanced at the generals sitting under him like a torch, "But this city is not like those cities in our Eastern Continent, not only the shape and material of the city walls are different, but also not what we usually reduce. It is not a flat form, but a criss-cross pattern, our original siege method may not be suitable, so we have to plan carefully for this battle."

"Commander, the city of Birja is a polyhedron formed by connecting many castles. It is both offensive and defensive. In fact, it is more like a hedgehog covered with spikes. It is quite useful, and most of its walls are built with stone strips, so it is difficult for catapults to break them, and no matter which side you attack from, you will be easily attacked from other directions. If you can avoid attacking from the front Siege, my subordinates think it is the best." Ying Jianming first put forward his own opinion, after observing the city defense system of Birja City, he secretly gasped, this kind of city is not like the usual cities, it is pure A large fortress, if you insist on pulling out this nail, you don't know how much you will have to pay.

"Then what do you mean?" Cui Wenxiu asked coldly.

"This, I haven't thought about it yet, but Birja is not a grain-producing area. According to intelligence, because Gdansk, an important port city in the southwest of Hanover, is not far away, most of their food supplies are shipped by sea from Gdansk. Come on, if we can cut off this route and then resort to siege, we should be able to win without a fight." Gdansk is not far from the northern end of Fahan Province, just in the coastal area at the end of the Bakla Mountains, and is also Hannover Southeast important town and the second largest port.

"The Allied forces may not be able to reinforce Birja's army in a short period of time, but what about Hanover? If the Hanoverians respond, our siege will be meaningless. Their Eastern Province can continuously transport food by land Come on, even if we encircle Gdansk from the province of Fahan, it doesn't make much sense." Hu Yanqiu asked rhetorically.

Cui Wenxiu has already heard Ying Jianming's implication. This guy has a bigger appetite than himself, and he actually came up with such a way. It is undoubtedly a stupid way to go north from Fahan to besiege Gdansk. It is neither suitable nor big. There are 30,000 Hanoverians stationed in Gdansk, which is also a strong fortress, and it may not be easier than Birja to conquer it.

"Lord Huyan~IndoMTL.com~The commander of our legion means that we will march from the north." Zhao Jianfeng couldn't help interjecting. If Jia was to be taken down by storm, even a legion would not be able to retain half of its troops. It would be best to avoid it, but according to their method, the war would expand infinitely.

"North?!" Hu Yanqiu was taken aback, and looked up to search on the map. If you want to bypass the Stanna Mountains, you have to go west from the Tengger Grassland area north of Dexin Province. But there is the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians. Is it going to go south from the Eastern Province of the Hanoverians? Then this war may turn into a full-scale war with the Hansen Alliance.

"Hmph, the battle has reached this point. We can't let the lives of our brothers fill Birja's bottomless pit. God knows how much it will cost if we attack it by force? If we want to solve it, we have to find another way , Detour from the Tengger Grassland is the best way. The rangers can cut off the reinforcement road of the Hanoverians first, and the infantry will follow up one after another. Before the Hanoverians have reacted, this is the best opportunity. The Hanoverians Didn’t they always want to swallow Destin? Then we simply let their Eastern Province become the territory of the empire. At worst, we can force the Hansen League to withdraw from Birja, otherwise the Eastern Province will become the western county of the empire. No, saying Xixi County is too exaggerated, at most it is just a Xixi Prefecture!" Ying Jianming gritted his teeth.
