Soon, Magna wrote a document template, which was probably an ultimatum issued by Ronan to so-and-so, giving up their arms within a week, opening the city gates and surrendering, otherwise Ronan's army would directly crush them.
There will be a second chance to negotiate.
After finishing writing, Magna's literate staff members began to write letters to the remaining nobles in the east based on Magna's template. The workload was still very large. After all, Ronan had only occupied less than 100,000 square meters in the east.
half position.
An hour later, while the troops were still resting and cleaning the battlefield and treating their injuries, a group of messengers on fast horses set off from the camp. Each person was responsible for a target. With their foot strength, they should be able to run quickly.
Covering the entire eastern part, after all, the eastern part is actually the smallest part of Gaoling.
Time went forward a little. A few days before Ronan encountered the Leon army, the northern part of the Rongxia Empire was also attacked. Mayweather led his elites and the newly defected sand tribes in a surprise attack.
A fortress located at the junction of the two countries in the north. Fortunately, Aldridge has always been on guard against them. The intelligence network is well laid out and all lines of defense communicate every day.
Therefore, before they were about to launch a surprise attack and enter the Rongxia Empire from this slightly weakly defended place, Aldridge's support arrived and successfully pushed back Mayweather's troops.
Afterwards, Mayweather dispersed his troops into several parts and launched attacks from different locations along the long national border. He also sent elite troops to try to infiltrate, but under Aldridge's defense, they failed. However, Mayweather
This also helped Se understand the reality of Aldridge's current troops.
"The troops on the border of the Rongxia Empire are very elite, but their number should only be those who fought with us before. In terms of military strength, we are at an absolute advantage. The enemy general is very difficult to deal with, but he is strong, and
It is impossible to guard such a long border with such a small number of troops.
We divided our troops into three and attacked from here and here respectively. These two places are nearly 200 miles apart. It is impossible for them to come and support both sides at the same time. If they divide their troops to support, it will be exactly what we want and what we want.
The third force immediately attacked from here. Our scouts had already scouted this place before. There was only a small pass guarding a trade route, and there were less than 300 defenders inside.
Although the terrain is rugged, these three hundred people can only block us for one day at most. When the pass is taken, our two involved troops will retreat directly and enter the Rongxia Empire from this pass. By then, their border defenders will
They have to fight us head-on. We can take the opportunity to eat this army. It doesn't matter if we can't eat it. We can also cause damage to them and put pressure on them.
Although Rodritt is very powerful, his troops are limited after all. Once their border army is defeated, in order to avoid more damage from us, they will inevitably withdraw their troops from the front line and return to defend. By then our goal will be achieved
, which not only injured Rodritt, but also helped Leon out of trouble!"
Mayweather's staff laid out a map, which showed the detailed topography of the border between the two countries. Each city pass was marked, and the approximate number of defenders detected by the scouts was also marked on it.
The staff officer took out several small flags and placed them at the location he mentioned. Flags of different colors were also used to mark Aldridge and their current location.
"There are two difficulties in the plan. First, the enemy's support troops are all cavalry. They come and go very quickly. It is difficult for us to catch them. They also have strong combat capabilities and are difficult to deal with. Second, the pressure on the feint attack troops is very high.
It must not only involve the enemy's support troops, but also have enough deterrence against feints to attack towns. It is best to defeat them if necessary.
Therefore, the distribution of troops is very important. So, who is willing to lead troops to feint attack, and who is willing to lead troops to raid this pass?"
Mayweather asked after knocking on the table. The noble officers looked at each other for a few times, and then the three officers slowly raised their hands.
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's take a rest and set out to attack tomorrow. I will take the remaining troops to sit in the center and be ready to support at any time. You three should also pay attention to communicating with each other and bring some carrier pigeons with you. When the time comes, the carrier pigeons and messengers will
Use them together, and if anything goes wrong, retreat immediately!"
Mayweather gave the last instructions, and then waved to declare the meeting to be adjourned. The officers left the meeting tent. The officers who had the mission immediately gathered their subordinates and subordinates to study the subsequent strategy. Mayweather selected the two
Each of the feint attack targets is also a relatively small castle, so the troops are still very threatening to these castles if they are spread out.
The next day, Mayweather's army was divided into several parts according to the plan and set off for the location he had planned. The strength of the two feigned castles was relatively balanced, both with about 8,000 troops. Mayweather took 2,000 troops with him.
There are 3,000 people who are in charge of attacking the pass. It is useless to go more, because the road there is very narrow, with mountains and forests on both sides. If there are more people, they cannot go together. It is better to choose a more elite group.
These are not all the troops of the Northland Kingdom. There are still many warriors from the Sandland tribe who have not arrived because they are moving. Mayweather also left some troops behind and did not send out all the troops.
"Sir, flying pigeons are sending messages, Bamberg Castle and Posita Castle are under attack!"
"Are you attacking two places at the same time this time? There is probably some conspiracy. You take half of your troops to support Bamberg Castle, and I will lead the team to support Posita!"
Aldridge pondered for a while and then said to the adjutant beside him, no matter what the conspiracy on the other side was, these two attacks must be supported. Most of the 8,000 soldiers sent by Ronan were deployed in castles and castles along the border.
Inside the pass, he only took his two thousand trusted cavalry troops to patrol around and provide support.
After all, some castles are too small, and the defenses of the passes are not satisfactory. After all, before the split of Gaoling, this was not a national boundary at all, but just an ordinary territory within the kingdom. At most, it was the dividing line between the west and the north.
Therefore, naturally no defensive fortress or the like was built. The current defensive strength is due to Aldridge's simple renovation after taking over.
The two cavalrymen took action quickly, following their usual strategy, which was to charge their rear troops when the enemy was attacking the city, destroy the siege equipment and kill a wave of archers before leaving directly, waiting for an opportunity to move, but there was no more
With the suppression of catapults and archers, it is relatively easy for the soldiers on the city wall to resist the enemy's siege.
