Glory Riding and Cutting

"After today, Meriuses and his troops stationed in Jianmen Fort to defend, temporarily acted as the general here, and will be transferred later. The rest of the people and I returned to the country quickly. There is an unstable factor, where Aldridge is getting more and more difficult, we must first deal with that old fox Mayweather before we can find trouble with Eagleman!"

In the conference room, Ronan began to assign the next step of the work. The war is far from over, and Ronan doesn't intend to stop. He wants to get rid of Mayweather who has been bothering him directly.

During this period of time, Aldridge has been barely resisting Mayweather's attack, and now it has reached the point where he has to shrink the defense line and give up part of the area.

Mayweather had received the news of Leon's defeat a long time ago, and when he was about to withdraw, he soon received the news that the eagle had invaded and had passed Jianmen Fort, so his mind became active again, and the eagle man's The strength is not comparable to that of Leon who has just suffered a big defeat. It will definitely make Ronan encounter more troubles, and he can take the opportunity to continue attacking Ronan's border.

Aldridge's defense line retreated again and again, especially the soldiers of the Sandy Tribe volunteered to the front line after moving, and after Mayweather expanded his troops again, the huge number disadvantage and the lack of a castle that could hold on made Aldridge In order to preserve their strength, they had to retreat and temporarily gave up part of the border to Mayweather.

Mayweather's calculations were very loud. Even if Ronan could repel the Eagle Man and take back Jianmen Castle, Ronan would definitely not be unscathed after fighting the not weak Eagle Man, and he would definitely suffer a lot. Injury, he may not weaken Ronan by then.

After all, he has been recharging his energy for a long time, and now he has received the help of the not weak sandy tribe, and Ronan has never stopped fighting, and at most he only rested for less than two months. Ser was confident.

However, being cautious by nature, he still didn't swell up. On the one hand, he was always paying attention to the battle situation at Jianmen Castle, and on the other hand, he was steadily advancing, compressing Aldridge's range a little bit, and the siege was steady, forcing Aldridge to retreat.

But since Ronan started to turn back, Aldridge stopped retreating. In a city located in an important area, with great military significance and relatively complete fortifications, Aldridge prepared food and other materials. , and then began to stick to it.

Supporting Aldridge from Jianmen Castle is equivalent to running from the east side of the old Gaoling Kingdom to the north side, crossing the entire Gaoling Kingdom obliquely, which is not far away, so Ronan let the cavalry go first and divided the troops into two. Support, replenish supplies in various territories along the way.

But even so, the fast-tracking cavalry would take two months to reach the target, which meant that Aldridge had to stick to the main city for two months.

Even with adequate preparations, these two months are definitely not easy to deal with. Without reinforcements, Aldridge can only rely on existing resources and Mayweather will spend two months, but it is estimated that Mayweather will not It may take two months to attack him. If he can't attack for a long time, Mayweather should choose to detour.

Although detours will waste some time, it is much better than spending time and suffering losses in Aldridge.

Mayweather did not attack the city where Aldridge was stationed at the first time, but chose to digest the territory that had been captured first, and then marched to the city where Aldridge was stationed named Stern after receiving sufficient supplies. Below the city of Rahn.

The west side of Strahan is built against the mountains, and the east side is a big river that runs through the two kingdoms forever - the Luan River. This river is the main source of water in this area, but it is also one of the most dangerous places. The terrain The reason for this is that the flow of the river is very fast, very fast, basically no boats can pass on the Luan River, and only in places where the flow is slightly gentle can some high bridges be built for pedestrians to pass.

Therefore, Mayweather can only attack from the north. If he wants to completely surround the city and prevent the people in the city from evacuating from the south, he must send troops to bypass the mountains or rivers to reach the south of Strahan. Okay, but it will take a certain amount of time, and it will take a certain risk to pass through several territories that are still under Ronan's control.

If he wants to continue going south into Ronan's territory without passing through Strahan, Mayweather needs to go east to a bridge to cross the Luan River, and then continue east to go around a hill to continue south, but There is also a small pass there, although it is not big, it can only accommodate about a thousand soldiers at most.

After passing Strahan or the small pass, there is a flat plain area. Mayweather can go straight through several territories and approach the core area of ​​the Rongxia Empire, which is the Xingyun City area. If the detour to the west is too far, Mayweather will basically not think about it. There is a poor and barren land that has basically not been developed, and walking is too troublesome.

Therefore, if you want to stop Mayweather, these two places are the last and most important lines of defense. After passing through the two lines of defense, Mayweather will let the birds fly. Aldridge wants to defend a place to stop them. Impossible, because Mayweather can ignore them and go elsewhere.

Soon, a week passed, and Mayweather attacked almost every day this week, but with little effect. The soldiers on the city wall resisted extremely fiercely, and once Mayweather was about to attack the city gate, Aldridge would personally Lead the elite troops and ghoul lords out of the city to face the siege engines that destroyed Mayweather's army.

The infantry of Mayweather's army couldn't resist the impact of the heavy cavalry led by Aldridge himself and the ghoul lords. The ghoul lord could smash the wheel of the door cone with a few heavy strikes, making it a pile of waste wood.

In this week's attack, most of Strahan's defenders were killed or injured by catapults and enemy archers, and a small number were killed in battle with enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall. It's probably a little more than one to two. On average, Mayweather needs to pay more than two soldiers to kill a defender.

Normally speaking, such a battle loss ratio for siege is quite acceptable, but the premise is that the city is captured, and Aldridge's troops stationed here are as many as 5,000 people. If the battle is completed according to this battle loss ratio Mayweather will definitely not accept it. After all, the total number of his troops is less than 30,000, and nearly 8,000 of them are soldiers from the Sand tribe. In case of high attrition, Yasumanda will definitely not will be the same.
