First, the main resistance forces of the Walled City Alliance have all been driven to Sishui City by the Yongye Legion. Their forces are unprecedentedly concentrated. There are at least 30,000 soldiers alone.
Although they are all broken troops, rabbits will kick people when they are in a hurry. If they are pushed into a hurry and bite back, I am afraid it will be very painful. Although the main battle legion of the Eternal Night Army is elite, it cannot change the fact that the number is only ten thousand.
.
In the eyes of other generals, a small number of casualties in exchange for final victory is a very profitable thing, but in the eyes of the Evernight Legion, it is not. Unless necessary, they are unwilling to sacrifice even one more soldier - attacking Sishui City is very unnecessary.
of.
The opponent has been surrounded by them and has become a caged beast. It is just a matter of eating them sooner or later.
What's more, they are able to unite now because there is strong external pressure from the Eternal Night Army here. If the pressure from the Eternal Night Army is a little lighter, they will be at odds with each other internally. This is their nature.
It has been integrated into their bones and cannot be changed in this life.
Second, Sishui City is a typical water city, with less than one-third on land and the remaining two-thirds in the lake or on small islands in the lake.
The Yongye Legion has almost zero experience in water warfare. If they want to directly attack Sishui City, they do not have even the most basic conditions.
Third, the Eternal Night Legion's furious advance was too fast and the battle line was stretched too long. Even though the size of the attached engineer corps was twice that of the main army, the area occupied was so large that they simply could not take care of it.
Some affiliated engineer corps have their own tasks and cannot rush over, such as the 1st and 2nd affiliated engineer corps that are building the Twin Cities.
Not all of the cities in the Walled City Alliance surrender sincerely. They must stabilize their position as soon as possible, eat them into their stomachs, and digest them. Only then can they be truly occupied.
Once the Eternal Night Army's policies are instilled in them, and when the Walled City Alliance comes back later, it will be extremely difficult to rule these people again - although this possibility is slim.
Fourth, the most fundamental and important point is that the highest level of the Evernight Legion sent an order for them to suspend the attack and deploy defenses on the spot.
While the hundred-man guard of the Eternal Night Legion was rushing forward, Sean and the others, who successfully ambush the elite of the Walled City Alliance, were not idle either. Instead, they followed the underground cave from which the Walled City Alliance came and entered the hinterland of the Three Cave Alliance.
Ban Hebrew underestimated the Eternal Night Army a little too much. As the core unit of the Eternal Night Army, the medical research base wanted to be extremely defensive, so how could it possibly leave a hole in its hinterland?
As early as the establishment of the medical research base, the situation covering hundreds of kilometers around the medical research base had been thoroughly investigated by the Eternal Night Legion. Mr. Ferdinand, the royal architect of the Eternal Night Legion, established a set of quite advanced land and air three-dimensional defenses.
The mechanism, the number of people stationed here and the fortifications are far more than what is exposed.
The five fortresses are only a small part of this defense system.
The underground cave that the Walled City Alliance passed through was not absolutely secret, and the soldiers of the Eternal Night Legion did not neglect their duty enough to turn a blind eye to it.
The original choice to keep it was not to pit the Walled City Alliance, but as a retreat for the medical research base.
This long-distance attack that the Walled City Alliance considers to be top-secret, even if Sean and the others hadn't planned it deliberately, would have been exposed the moment they entered the underground cave.
If the Eternal Night Legion had not made other corresponding arrangements, they would have been buried in the mountains in just a matter of minutes.
“The Three Cave is known as the most beautiful place in the Andes Mountains, and it certainly deserves its reputation.”
Even a big boss like Skullcrusher McGee was attracted by the unique natural beauty of the Three Cave Alliance and expressed his sincere sigh.
"It's also a natural defensive location." Sean sighed with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Although their number is not large, like the previous Walled City Alliance, they have gathered most of the elites of the Eternal Night Legion, and there are even two champion knights sitting on the guard. It can be said that they are unstoppable. Wherever they pass, the Three-hole Alliance flees.
However, the purpose of their operation this time, to apprehend Ban Hebrew, the leader of Sandong League City, has been to no avail. They were always a step late. By the time they got the information and arrived, Ban Hebrew was like a rabbit, long gone.
Know which cave he slipped into.
The terrain of the three caves is too complicated, and there is no Jedi at all. It is not that difficult to block a control-level warlock.
Fortunately, Ben Hebrew was not alone, and there was no way he could leave three holes and fly away, giving Sean the opportunity to pull his tail.
"This can't continue like this. Let's go back and guard the entrance to the secret passage. Arnold, release the eagle, notify Marshall to scale back the offensive, mobilize the third corps and the corresponding attached engineer corps. We will occupy inch by inch, and wait for all the land in the three caves to be occupied.
It’s all taken up, where else will he run?”
After seeing the unique geographical environment of Sandong, Sean changed his mind and made this place the primary encroachment target of the Eternal Night Army.
Not only because of the beautiful environment here, but also because of its unique geographical advantages, at least for the Eternal Night Legion.
To the east of the third cave is the Land of Sunset, the second half of the main vein of Sansett Peak, the roof of the world. It is not under the main vein and faces the danger of large avalanches at any time, but it is an absolute natural barrier. The Orcs on the Odin Grassland
, it is absolutely impossible for a large-scale invasion to cross here, and the river water from the melted ice and snow of Sansette Peak nourishes this place all year round.
The underground caves in the southwest directly connect it to the medical research base. By taking down the Three Cave Alliance, the last defensive shortcoming of the medical research base can be repaired, and this place will be completely wiped out from the eyes of the world.
To the northwest, it is connected to the Andis Inland Lake, with extremely convenient water transportation. Although the two sides are hundreds of miles away, it is only a day's journey down the river, which is extremely rare in the Andis Mountains.
Because it is rare.
Once they occupy this place, the Yongye Army will form a surrounding and oppressive force on Sishui City from two directions: the Sandong River and the Jacob River ancient river channel.
The only flaw is that before the Sishui City was captured and the Walled City Alliance was completely eradicated, the connection between the three holes and the Jacob's Ancient River Channel was not close.
The line of sky connected to the ancient Jacob River in the northwest of the medical research base is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also means that it is rugged and difficult to travel. The Yongye Army first went to the medical research base to transport supplies, which was time-consuming and laborious. Fortunately, the medical research base
The territory is large enough to be partially self-sufficient.
However, Sean, who has a bigger plan in mind, sees further. Once they blow up the ancient Jacob River channel, restore the Jacob River to its old appearance, and destroy Sishui City, the whole chess game will come back to life.
In other words, Sean has taken a fancy to the land of Three Cave Alliance and plans to take it over and use it as the headquarters of the Eternal Night Legion.
The Flying Eagle communication system that the Eternal Night Legion spent a lot of effort and cost to build was vividly demonstrated in this counterattack against the Walled City Alliance.
If this system did not exist, this kind of full-front operation with a hundred-man guard as a unit would be a suicide attempt.
With it, it has become the most classic battle example.
The cooperation between regiments and regiments, schools and schools, and guards and guards is still close and simultaneous, even if they are separated by several mountains or even hundreds of miles.
For this alone, the Walled City Alliance was not unjustly defeated. Even if their senior management was not blamed by Sean, they could not resist this advanced tactic that was several levels ahead of the world. At most, Yongye would be defeated.
The legion's advance was slower and its losses were greater, which had no influence on the final result.
When the first, second, and second special forces of the Eastern Front, the Skull Crusher Corps, were shrinking their defenses, the Third Corps of the Evernight Corps led its affiliated engineering corps, marching over the mountains and ridges in a mighty manner, directly killing the Three Cave Alliance.
However, they did not go to the medical research base, which is not suitable for large troops to march.
Not only here, except for the Jacob Ancient River Channel, the entire Andis Mountains are not suitable for large-scale marches, and the Jacob Ancient River Channel can only accommodate large-scale marches after the extensive construction of the Yongye Army.
The Eternal Night Army launched an attack on the Walled City Alliance. Why did it use a hundred-man guard as a unit?
This is not only due to the need for multi-line coordinated operations of the Eternal Night Army, but also due to the unique terrain of the Andes Mountains.
The complex terrain determines that a unit of a hundred people can not only ensure the most basic combat effectiveness of siege the city, but also the fastest action.
On the contrary, the greater the number of people, the slower the movement speed will be, completely failing to achieve the purpose of the attack.
The third corps plus the attached engineer corps, there are a lot of them, no less than eight or nine thousand, plus food and livestock, if you use the collective march mode, if you want to reach the location designated by Sean, it will be at least a week later, and this is still a hurry-up-slow situation.
.
Therefore, the method adopted by the Third Corps was generally the same as the offensive method on the Eastern Front, with the Hundred Guards as a unit, advancing hand in hand, with the main battle corps as the front and the attached engineer corps as the pole.
The main battle corps went into battle lightly, advancing quickly, destroying villages and attacking strongholds without stopping for a moment.
The attached engineer corps following behind them worked steadily, building bridges when encountering water, clearing roads through forests, collecting villages and villages, and setting up camps to build strongholds.
The former brings destruction and death, while the latter brings rebirth and hope. The two complement each other and complement each other.
Wherever the Third Corps passed, all the cities along the route were directly brought under the rule of the Yongye Corps.
However, the disadvantage of this is that the demand for the number of attached engineer corps is a bit large, and the fourth attached engineer corps, which is undergoing extensive construction in the Twin Cities, has to be transferred.
The Fourth Main Battle Corps' defense line moved forward and stationed itself on the ruins of the Bastille.
Although the Eternal Night Legion has not established a second legion in the past two years, it does not mean that it does not develop itself. It is now a typical strengthened legion.
Not only was the Fourth Main Battle Corps established, all the corps were strengthened regiments and schools, but there were no big changes below the guard level.
A small number of corps added a reinforced school, and many even added two or three reinforced schools. A corps almost became an independent army.
When this war ends, the Eternal Night Army will be divided into two and the establishment of a second army will be a matter of course.
Although the Third Corps was temporarily assigned, the speed of the advance was only slightly faster than that of the Eastern Front.
Although the Yongye Army did not occupy the mountains on both sides of the ancient Jacob river, under the encroachment of its alliance with the city wall, the young and strong mountain people in the mountains on both sides moved to Jacob with their families, villages, and villages.
There are many places along the Bugu River.
Those who stay here are either lonely old people who are incapable and unwilling to move, or they live in extremely remote and poorly informed small mountain villages and small towns, most of which are based on family units.
Most of them are empty villages and fortresses, and some soldiers even moved out from here. They know the surrounding situation well, and they can lead the way without any effort.
Many hundred-man guards came down, basically without using a sword or firing an arrow. It was not until they entered the inherent territory of the Sandong League that the two sides drew their swords and faced each other. The fight was quite difficult, because the resistance of the Sandong League was quite resolute. Not only the ruling class, but also
Those Sandongmeng mountain people down there.
Because to them, the Eternal Night Legion is an out-and-out invader.
In the eyes of the Eternal Night Legion, the Walled City Alliance is an out-and-out joke, not only because of their ordinary management level, but also because of their joke-like composition method.
But this does not mean that there is no cohesion within the Walled City Alliance. As established forces, the cohesion of the Sandong Alliance and Sishui City is beyond imagination, especially the Sandong Alliance.
The unique geographical advantage has always made them a piece of pure land in the mountains of Andis. In addition, Ban Hebrew can be regarded as a qualified ruler, and his political skills are quite powerful - if he were not powerful, it would be impossible to integrate the three holes into
Together, we will become the masters of the three caves.
Over the years, the Sandong Alliance has been doing little corvee at home and developing aggression and cruel oppression at home. Over time, it has naturally developed a feeling that the people of the Sandong Alliance are superior to others. In contrast, there is a strong centripetal force and
cohesion.
Super strong cohesion and centripetal force can create miracles at certain times, but in the face of absolute strength, there is no way to change the final result.
The fortified city and the united morale of the people can indeed withstand the sharpness of the hundred-man guard of the Eternal Night Army.
But when several hundred-man guards were linked together to form a military academy, and the attached engineer corps followed up, and when catapults and self-propelled crossbows were set up, their defense was so vulnerable.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of a large number of siege equipment, even an extremely solid masonry city would be difficult to withstand, let alone a city walled mainly with civil structures. In the end, the only thing they could rely on was
It's your own natural risk.
For this kind of walled city, the Eternal Night Legion also has its own methods.
It's not like risking your life and conquering it forcefully.
Anyone who uses such mindless tactics will definitely be used as a negative example and criticized by name at the next officer meeting.
Depending on the size of the walled city, they would drop different numbers of attached engineer corps there, build defensive camps, and block them in the walled city. It wouldn't take long before the attack and defense would change hands, or they would surrender without a fight.
Because most of the fortresses with natural dangers mean that the road is relatively unique and difficult to navigate. Once the water source is cut off, it will easily become a desperate situation, and then the situation will be completely reversed.
If you want to attack the military camp of the Engineer Corps affiliated to the Yongye Legion, the price you need to pay is not ordinary, and even if you attack it, you will usually get ruins, and then you will be disappointed to find that the opponent has set up another defense not far away.
Camp.
No one knows whether the other side will build another defensive camp after this camp is captured.
