Sail outside the city and siege the city.

After days of fighting, gunpowder and fire covered the entire sky; under the blood-red sunset, Ludwig stepped on the scorched earth where the embers were not yet extinguished, as if strolling around the battlefield where he had fought for more than ten days.

The defenders of Yangfan City, who had been fighting with themselves all day, have retreated to the defense line in the city, and continued to hold on to those ridiculously simple fortifications and solid stone buildings: the chapel, the parliament, the warehouse, the governor's palace...

In such a huge city, where their ridiculous 13-star ring flag is still flying, there are only a few strongholds and a few interconnected streets.

The rest are corpses scattered all over the ground under the broken army flag, the broken cannon walls, the burning houses and the ruined communities... The dust and particles mixed in it have already drifted to every part of the city. corner.

Relying on the absolute superiority of troops, Ludwig did not spread out his troops like in conventional battles, and launched street battles with the defenders of Yangfan City, but adopted tactics similar to suppressing urban riots, blocking layers by layer, and taking every step, a community. Encirclement and suppression of a street, and then either destroy the occupation, or withdraw decisively, and then repeatedly confront the defenders.

This tactic has proven to be extremely effective.

As the outer positions formed by the artillery bases were captured by themselves and the city walls were broken, the defenders of Yangfan City had in fact fallen into a desperate situation with no way to retreat; while the people in the city did not capture the entire city in one breath because the attackers did not. , and gradually came up with the idea that "the enemy is not too strong, but the defenders are timid."

Human intuition is often the most powerful force to create illusions... So from the beginning of the siege battle, Ludwig continued to create conflicts between the defenders and the people in the city, including but not limited to setting fire to the city, withdrawing troops in advance, and taking any Rescue the wounded soldiers by the other side... After more than ten days of fighting, apart from the frontal fight, there were not many casualties between the two sides after the war.

Of course, these premises are all based on an important piece of information, that is, Louis Bernard is not in Sail City.

This kind of speculation was originally generated when the Weeds War ended and half of the jihadist army was forced to withdraw from the northern and eastern areas of Yangfan City... It was able to unite the many liberals in the colony, the defeated soldiers, and even the settlements that had been operating for several generations to form a joint force. , in addition to the heir to the Bernard family, there will be no second person. Remember the URL m.xbeqge. com

Facts also confirmed Ludwig's conjecture... The longer the siege lasted, the deeper the contradiction between the defenders and the people in the city; on the eighth day after the city was broken, some liberals even took the initiative to surrender to the jihadist army, revealing that Information about the strength of the defenders, their armament, their casualties, and the location of their strongholds.

That is to say, it was Ludwig who really figured it out. No wonder he was almost taken away from the command during the Weeds War - Anson Bach, this bastard, even sent his own troops to mix with the army of the Free Confederation in advance!

Of course, what Ludwig didn't know was that there was his most trusted lieutenant in this "Storm Legion" unit, so the Second Infantry Regiment could pass through his carefully designed positions so smoothly and accurately find the headquarters. Location - otherwise he'd be even more annoyed.

But all this is not important now, because the hope of conquering Sail City, and even destroying the entire Free Confederation, is no longer in Sail City itself... Ludwig sighed softly, rubbing his blue veins from fighting for many days. The temple jumped, and turned his eyes to the opposite direction of the battlefield.

There, the Mujahideen soldiers who have not yet relaxed from the exhaustion of the siege are already sweeping the battlefield, packing up the baggage, filling the trenches... preparing for the start of the army's turn-in.

A battle, perhaps evenly matched, awaits him.

…………

"Withdrawal?!"

Lying in front of the map table and dozing off, Alexei, who was forcibly woken up by someone, was about to draw his knife when he was instantly stunned by the sudden news from the other party: "You, you are sure about him... Major General Ludwig really retreated. already?!"

"I don't seem to have any need to deceive you." Facing the opponent's suspicion, Roman, whose face was frosty, said coldly: "The Ring of Order and the King Clovis Flag are no longer visible in the forward positions outside the city, and the artillery positions are also already there. Suspected to be filled and destroyed... According to the style of adults, this is the call for retreat."

"The most important point: this is the information sent back by the hussars in Yangfan City who risked their lives to scout out of the city. I saw with my own eyes that the infantry regiments and baggage units of the Mujahideen Army were moving northward along the road in batches. Batch retreat or transfer."

Perhaps because of his previous misjudgment, Roman this time also seemed much more cautious; when he was still in Grey Dove Castle, he would never talk too much nonsense with Alexei, an "subordinate of Anson".

"Anyway...at the current speed, they will all leave in two days."

"all?!"

Probably because he didn't wake up, Alexei was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.

"I said 'at the current pace'!"

Roman's face darkened: "Even if we leave a small number of troops to continue to confront us, or retreat to the beachhead to avoid being cut off, it is just a routine deployment, and there is nothing to be surprised about."

"Ah, right, right... What you're saying is that my understanding has gone wrong." Alexei quickly smiled and apologized, joking, he couldn't afford to offend this guy who didn't know how to get to the colony, and he took the initiative to join him. "Curve Loyal" adults.

The looming forces behind the opponent, as well as the important information provided, should not be too critical to the loyal Storm Legion, which appears to be rebellious.

The question is, why did the other party retreat?

Just three days ago, Louis Bernard, who had been "missing" for a long time, actually re-established contact with them and led his army to the south to come to support.

Such exciting news immediately regrouped the defenders of Yangfan City, and even the liberals who were already at odds with the defenders were willing to temporarily put aside their prejudices and join the battle of defending the city.

At the moment when the 13-star ring flag appeared at the end of the horizon, the whole Yangfan City burst into exciting cheers, so that the jihadist army outside the city simply gave up the attack that day, and all huddled in the siege positions outside the city to stand firm. out.

Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, the defenders immediately launched a full-scale counter-offensive; not only recaptured the streets of the city that had been captured, but even once controlled many of the destroyed artillery bases outside the city, and carried out a simple and simple attack at the fastest speed. Repaired, ready to cooperate with Louis Bernard's reinforcements.

Alexei expressed his doubts about this. He had seen the "20,000-strong army" in the grass forest with his own eyes, and he also knew the logistics of the Free Confederation very well. Twenty thousand people, even if only a few thousand, Louis couldn't have enough rifles and artillery to arm them.

With so many troops assembled without guns and ammunition, if you don't plan to give people away, you can only fake a shot and shout "the wolf is coming" again?

Gu Lu

But Yangfan City's defenders and the people did not take his concerns seriously - this is the critical moment when "the Holy King returns to the dynasty, all people are of one mind", everyone is eager to show their loyalty, where is your turn as a Clovis Running over to sing badly?

What's more, they directly doubted Alexei's ingredients. Did he collect half a million gold coins from the jihadist army outside the city and deliberately ran into the city to be a spy?

Seeing that the rumors became more and more ruthless, and even the Yangfan City Council was ready to release a reward, and if he caught himself, he would give a bounty of 500,000 gold coins. Alexei simply chose to shut up completely and never made any military suggestions. Just do your duty.

As a result, Louis Bernard confronted the Mujahideen for only one night, and then withdrew during the next day... So the original confident counter-offensive had to give up, and even many of the defenders of Yangfan City were besieged because they did not retreat in time. The 2nd Infantry Regiment attacked.

After a whole day of **** battles, it was difficult to ensure that the siege battle was not turned into a battle of annihilation, but the price paid was not less than a battle of annihilation. The three-day supply of more than 2,000 people, as well as the ammunition consumed in the face of the siege, also fell into the hands of the enemy.

As for the city and streets that were finally recaptured, it was no surprise that they were all lost, and even further, many houses were burned to rubble... If not for the wharf and shipyard that were destroyed in advance, they were buried with sunken ships. At the port, the defenders were afraid that they would face the situation of being caught between two sides and were beaten by the Mujahideen army in turn.

The biggest problem in this is the complete break between the defenders of Yangfan City and the local liberals; the two sides, who were united by the return of Louis Bernard, immediately stood up and blamed each other at the moment when their hopes were dashed, accusing each other that the other party was not loyal enough. such an intractable result.

This atmosphere is very different from the Storm Legion... Within the officer corps, everyone is more inclined to believe that their comrades are loyal ministers, and they must compete with each other for loyalty.

As for whether a person who looks loyal is loyal, a loyal person naturally also believes in the loyalty of other people, and should not take the initiative to touch the bottom of another loyal minister - after all, what if you find something that shouldn't be found? Later, I was exposed by others to be unfaithful... What about the curve loyalty that is not easy to explain? !

All in all, there are only two principles for loyal servants of the Storm Legion: first, everyone is loyal; second, if you find a place where someone may be unfaithful, then refer to the first rule.

It is by relying on such a fine spirit of "loyalty and unity" that the Storm Legion has been able to reach today step by step... otherwise, it would have fallen apart earlier.

Sail City, which is on the verge of civil war at any time, almost erected a typical negative teaching material for the Storm Legion.

And just when the entire city was already crumbling, and with a few more kicks, it might collapse with a bang, did Ludwig voluntarily give up the idea of ​​continuing to attack the city?

"Could it be that reinforcements from the commander-in-chief have arrived?"

Alexey asked cautiously, but immediately rejected the idea decisively: "That's not right. If reinforcements really arrive, why did Louis Bernard withdraw so decisively?"

"Don't jump to a conclusion in such a hurry." Roman shook his head, his expression indifferent: "With Anson Bach's character and behavior, similar things may not be impossible."

He remembered that during the battle of Eagle Point, he was ordered to join Anson Bach, but was regarded by Louis Bernard as Anson's army, and he was used as a shield for the **** for several days in the valley, which indirectly contributed to this. The guy successfully captured the glorious record of Eagle Point Fortress.

So even if this guy wants to have a "wonderful reenactment" or break through the offline line again, Roman Reigns will not be even a little surprised.

"But whether or not the reinforcements are true, this may be a good opportunity."

"what chance?"

"A chance to get out of Sail City."

Roman said coldly: "Your mission is to ensure that Yangfan City will not fall. Now that the siege army has withdrawn, and the fleet blocked in the port has not done anything, it is meaningless to stay there except to arouse the suspicion of the defenders."

"It's better to take this opportunity to quietly leave Yangfan City and follow the marching route of the Jihad Legion to see where their destination is."

"If I guessed correctly, it should be not far from Yangfan City..."

…………

"This is the battlefield you chose to fight Ludwig?"

Holding the exquisite silver-plated monocular, Louis couldn't help turning his head to look at a guy who "deceived" him: "I didn't say that you would defeat Uncle Bernard before, but this is clearly the first place for Uncle Bernard. It's the second time to defeat the loyalists!"

Facing the young knight's question, the smiling Anson did not answer immediately, but stared at the vast plain in front of him... Clinging to the wide river, looking at the world that was almost divided into two by the horizon, upwards was the blue dome. , down is the boundless earth.

To the south of this land is the location of Sail City, and to the east are hills and rivers. From there, you can go to Grey Pigeon Castle through the grass forest. To the north and west are endless forests, where there are many lurking. Aboriginal tribes, and the tomb keeper who guards the resting land.

In the center, is a wide area that is very suitable for the expansion of the large army.

"It's very simple, and only this kind of terrain can ensure that Ludwig will definitely take the bait." Anson wrote lightly: "As long as the east side of the battlefield is blocked, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can completely block our retreat, and then a We will be wiped out in one breath; neither can we take the initiative to approach Yangfan City or be stationed in the barren grass forest.”

Louis sucked in a breath of cold air: "Then you plan to fight Ludwig here and completely wipe out the entire jihadist army?"

"Destroy? Of course impossible!"

An Sen sneered: "With the strength we have now, even if we can win, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, let alone annihilation."

"Then what do you want to…"

"We have to negotiate with Major General Ludwig, and we have to make sure that he negotiates with him and reaches some agreement without any external influence." Anson shrugged:

"Of course, before that, we have to beat him first!"
