Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 27 Standoff

“Alien Castle Era (

The first battle between the Ice and Snow Kingdom and the Beihan Kingdom was a huge victory. The fifty thousand new army compiled and commanded by Xia Guo wiped out more than ten thousand enemy troops and defeated all sixty thousand enemy troops, but their own casualties were only not To three thousand people.

When this battle report was passed back to the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, whether it was Queen Aisha or the dignitaries, they couldn’t help but feel that the same soldiers could exert such great combat power in the hands of Xia Guoren.

However, Xiang Chenxiang Li Bao’s letter complained about the fifty thousand new army. In Xiang Chen’s words, the quality of these soldiers is still too poor, otherwise he would not use such simple tactics to confront the enemy.

Only after commanding Xia’s army, will you know how happy it is to have an army gradually developed by soldiers who have received a minimum of six years of compulsory education.

Some complicated orders and tactics need not be worried about whether the soldiers under them will be able to execute them. The officers only need to worry about how to issue effective combat orders.

As it is now, when Xiang Chen gave the order, he had to worry about whether these soldiers would understand and would not understand this tactic. Otherwise, even if he commanded an army of 50,000 equipped with cold weapons, he would have ordered the enemy’s army to be implemented. Interspersed, roundabout, divided, surrounded, and annihilated.

When Xiang Chen led the fifty thousand new army of the Snow Kingdom successfully defeated the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom, a large amount of grain and grass were seized in the town behind it, which was also considered as reducing part of the pressure for the Snow Kingdom.

When Xiang Chen pursued the defeated army of the Beihan Kingdom more than 400 kilometers west of Weihai City, he obtained the latest enemy intelligence. The Beihan Kingdom gathered nearly 50,000 troops in a city more than 30 kilometers ahead.

Calculating the time, it took the enemy more than four hundred kilometers to spend half a month recently. No matter how slow the movements of the Northern Cold Kingdom are, it must be able to respond.

The city in the front was originally owned by a northern lord, but it was wiped out by the Ice and Snow Kingdom at the back, and now it has become a defensive place for the Northern Cold Kingdom.

After Rivet Atwick had the last two experiences, he no longer dared to underestimate the snow kingdom supported by the people of Xia, so he now guards the city with the more than 40,000 troops in his hand. Dare to exaggerate and go to the wild to play against.

Levitt Atwick’s defense of the city did not make Xiang Chen embarrassed. There are ways to defeat such an enemy force, such as circling the city and attacking the enemy’s rear, occupying the surrounding areas, or cutting off its logistics. , Or a multi-pronged approach…

However, Xiang Chen and Li Bao received Yang Song’s order to let the Northern Cold Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom confront each other in a certain position instead of completely defeating each other. This was not good for Xia Guo.

As long as the Northern Frost Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom form a close confrontation within a certain area of ​​the north of the mainland, so as to achieve a certain balance, the Ice and Snow Kingdom will have to rely on the support of the Xia Kingdom.

So now Xiang Chen looked at the city in front of him where the heavy soldiers of the Northern Cold Kingdom had gathered, and had no intention of attacking at all.

So what is Xiang Chen doing now? He was waiting, after the Ice and Snow Kingdom in the rear completely occupied a certain area, he would return the military power in his hand to the hands of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Prior to this, Xiang Chen asked Benedict Keogh to take his 30,000 army to occupy the surrounding land, and the occupied area was all the area east from this place.

According to a letter from Li Bao, who was staying in Weihai City, the entire Ice and Snow Kingdom was filled with a strange and intense emotion, as if they could now dominate the world.

Moreover, he became less and less interested in Xia Guo’s help, and even remarks that he would take back the new army’s military power now.

According to the analysis of Xia Guo’s domestic professionals, these remarks should be a test of Xia Guo, and then the Ice and Snow Kingdom will make different responses based on Xia Guo’s performance.

When Xiang Chen learned the news, he didn’t know what to say to these foreigners. This was a typical act of ignorance and ungratefulness.

“It’s a pity!” Xiang Chen looked at the knights and soldiers who were walking by and respected him, and couldn’t help shook his head, because he knew that most of these soldiers would end soon. .

Although most of Xiang Chen’s command is from Beiyi, the feeling of comrades-in-arms after fighting together in the army is still more or less.

However, Xiang Chen is not someone who doesn’t know the severity. Although he feels a pity for these soldiers, he still has to do what he should do.

After another month of confrontation outside the city, Benedict Keogh finally came to join him with the 20,000 people in his hands, which means that the land that the Snow Kingdom should occupy is all occupied.

During the one-month confrontation, Xiang Chen did not receive urging from the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but he ignored them all. These people in the Ice and Snow Kingdom did not have the qualifications to order him.

“General Xiang, why haven’t you captured this city yet?” The first sentence Benedict Keogh rushed to turned out to be a question of Xiang Chen’s crime. From this, we can more or less tell the attitude of the Ice Kingdom.

“Haha !” Seeing this attitude, Xiang Chen sneered twice and replied: “Since your knight commander has this ability, why not take the enemy city yourself?”

Benedict Keogh was choked by Xiang Chen’s words. He thought to himself: “If I have your army in my hand, let alone this city, it will be the Kingdom of Bells (Beihan Kingdom). They were all occupied by Lord Knight Commander But now the military power of the new army is still in the hands of Xiangchen, a native of Xia, he just dared to think about it, so Benedict Keogh sneered: ” I don’t have many troops. ”

“That’s the case.” Xiang Chen had been waiting here. Not only was he not angry when he heard these words, but immediately replied: “Well, now this general has transferred the command of this nearly 50,000 army to Your Excellency the knight commander. ”

“What?” Benedict Keogh couldn’t believe his ears. He looked at Xiang Chen in disbelief and asked nervously: “What the general said is true? Didn’t lie to me?”

“Really!” Xiang Chen nodded solemnly, and pointed in the direction of the enemy city: “But then this general will want to see how the knight commander captured this city.”

After Xiang Chen said this, he ignored the happy Benedict Keogh, but called all the knights in charge of the 50,000-strong team and handed over the command of the new army to the opponent.

When the five knights leading the new army were summoned by Xiang Chen, they thought they were going to discuss military affairs, but they didn’t expect that they were handing over command. This shocked them and felt a little disappointed.

After all, these knights have learned a lot from Xiang Chen’s men. They admire and respect Xiang Chen. These knights have never fought so easily during this period of time.

Xiang Chen didn’t care about these knights who were destined not to be all along, but after the transfer of military power, he left the army formation of the Ice Kingdom with the soldiers from a battalion of his original Marine Corps.

Although Xiang Chen left the barracks of the Ice and Snow Kingdom with 1,500 soldiers, he still did not return to Weihai City immediately, but waited behind to watch a good show.
