Chapter 288 Battle of Arante (Trap)

"Relying on the tributaries of the Dofoss River to arrange defense lines, you must have more than three lines of defense! Arrange the cavalry ready to fight back and charge at any time! The other party's tank can't cross the river! So our flanks should be safe!" Yue Wushen looked at the map layout.

The other side has taken a big advantage, why do you still put on an offensive posture? This problem has always troubled the old general Yue Wushen. He really can't figure out why his opponent is so belligerent.

"According to folk news, and the information provided by the Holy Empire as a neutral country, the number of troops that our army was besieged and surrendered was slaughtered. The exact number is unknown." A general reported the latest news in frustration.

"According to the news from the Dofoss River defense line in the southeast city, the other party's troops along the river defense line have been reduced and may be gathering here." Another general came forward and said.

"According to the report of our merchants and dark lines, their king Rudolph recently appeared in Romere." A civilian added.

"Although the other party is very careful, we still find that the other party has the action of secretly changing the army, and the troops deployed in front of us are trained frequently." The last general in the room also said.

"Don't leave prisoners? Concentrate on the decisive battle? Rudolf Arcado is not on the front line? Signs of rare mobilization of troops?" Yue Wushen was stunned, walked to the map and pointed to Romer.

"Their king is here!" Yue Wushen was silent for a long time and said, "The troops on the front line are mobilized frequently! There are even signs of concentrated attack!"

"They are going to attack! Definitely attack! They want to take down our whole eternal night imperial army!" Yue Wushen paused and said, "The life of the opponent is not as good as expected!"

Yue Wushen suddenly realized at this moment, and he finally understood why his opponent wanted to make an attack.

The Duchy of Shengjian is not as brave as it seems, nor is it as invincible. Although it is powerful, it lacks one thing, which is very important, that is, the foundation of a powerful country.

In other words, the Duchy of Sword does not have time to accumulate hundreds of years of powerful heritage. Although the leapfrog development and the scientific and technological progress brought by Rudolph Arcado have made the Duke of Sword extremely powerful and the limelight, the Duchy of Sword lacks time and a lot of time!

For example, the Principality of Sword has not completely solved the domestic contradictions. With the efforts of powerful kings and loyal and upright ministers, these contradictions have been covered up by the aura, such as the suppressed nobles, the big landlords with a bleak future, and those fallen ministers, old forces, and even some armies. The ambitious generals in the team were shocked by the glory and terrible record of the victory of the Principality of Sword.

Once the front line fails, or there is just a stalemate, there will be a crisis in Arcado's country, which is deadly enough.

So the Principality of Shengjian had to launch an attack, hoping to end the war on the eastern front and stabilize its borders before problems occur, and then have enough troops and energy to deal with the undercurrents in the country.

Another reason for forcing the Duchy of Sword to rush to end the Eastern Front War is the war between the Elf Forest and the Orcs. Although there is news that the Elf Forest has won back its disadvantage in the previous battle, it is far from meeting the standard of ending the war.

In other words, the poor Holy Sword Duchy can only fight on two fronts to protect its allies and its own backyard.

That's why such a strange thing happened. The front line gathered a large army to fight to the death, but the king had to rush to the battlefield on the other side to stabilize the situation.

The massacre of prisoners is to guard the prisoners of war without dispersing troops, and also saves hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers of food supplies. The concentrated forces are to launch an attack. The king rushed to the elf forest because of the backyard was on fire! Therefore, the Holy Sword Principality urgently needs a victory, more than the newly defeated Yongye Empire.

In other words, Yue Wushen can now be sure that the army of the Shengjian Principality in front of the Yongye Empire under his command will inevitably launch a fierce attack in the near future, with the goal of defeating the Yongye Empire troops and forcing the Yongye Empire and the Southeast City State to withdraw from the war.

Since it has been determined that the Principality of the Holy Sword is bound to attack, as long as it is ready for defense, the moon's anxious mood was swept away, and the corners of the wrinkled mouth were slightly raised. He stared at the map intriguingly and asked without looking back: "Guys, our brave and fearless warriors separated their bodies and died tragically on the battlefield. Fu At a cost ten times more tragic than the Principality of Shengjian, he defended the broken lines of defense. Why?

"That's need to say, because the opponent has a magic cannon! The reason why the tank is invincible is that there is a magic gun on the tank! Or won't that thing be a turtle shell beast!" A bearded general said with a touch of his mouth like a bandit.

"I have expected that the Principality of the Holy Sword will inevitably launch an attack in the next few days. The purpose of the attack is to tear up our defenses and annihilate us in the Arante region!" Yue Wushen pointed to the map and said.

He looked at the bandit-like general who had just answered and asked, "General Li Yuansheng, what is the fastest way to tear off the defense line and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?"

"If it were me, I would tear the center of the opponent's defense line with an elite, cut the opponent's formation in one fell swoop, and penetrate the enemy's formation!" General Li Dongsheng said with a fist.

Yue Wushen nodded with appreciation, pressed his hand to signal Li Dongsheng to sit down, and then said, "You're right! The opponent must also use the tactics of breaking through in the middle, because if we entrain our army from the two wings, the troops will be dispersed, which is not a good thing for them.

Yue Wushen looked at most of the confused generals with a smile and said solemnly, "Since we have expected the opponent's action this time and can prepare countermeasures in advance, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" We need to make a plan to get the key to the other party's victory - the magic cannon!" He said the last three words word for word.

"Since it's fishing! Naturally, there should be bait. Our bait is the blood of 100,000 soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire! Please go back and prepare for war. Don't let us live up to this God-given opportunity!

All the generals' eyes lit up! What if the magic cannon that can capture the opponent is to fight 100,000 people? As long as you can get even a magic cannon, you can make the Yongye Empire an empire that unites the world! So Qi Qi stepped forward and hugged his fist and said, "General, don't worry! I will definitely listen to the dispatch and fight to the death with the Duke of the Holy Sword.

Unexpectedly, McValong's central cluster began a fierce attack on the afternoon of the second afternoon. Under the cover of thousands of magic cannons, it took only an hour to tear the first defense line carefully arranged by Yue Wushen, like a sharp axe splitting open the iron barrel of the Yongye Empire army. Like a line of defense.

However, the Yongye Imperial Army also fought back tenaciously. They fought against every inch of land on the long defense line, and launched a cavalry counterattack regardless of casualties. The two sides repeatedly competed for the thousands of meters wide area between the first defense line and the second defense line, and the flat land flowed into a river for a while.

Despite the loss, McValong invested in the second wave of attack power. The Principality of Holy Sword relied on the offensive of superior arms such as tanks, armored vehicles and artillery, and captured the second line of defense of the defenders of the Eternal Night Empire and withstood the sneak attack of the Yongye Empire army that night.

In the early morning of the next day, under the cover of the magic cannon, the traditional cavalry and infantry troops of the Principality of the Holy Sword launched another attack. They were killed and injured but could not take a step forward on the third defense line. The battle lasted until the evening and did not achieve any results. The Yongye Imperial troops still firmly controlled the third defense. Line.

However, McVlon also got the results he wanted, that is, his tanks and other main troops got a day's rest, while the other party's troops were spent on the defense line for a whole day.
