Chapter 284 Blocking War

Since the time is quite urgent.

Therefore, without complicated discussions, it was finally decided by Garru and the commander of the dynasty army to implement Vega's battle plan, and the 4th Division of the Imperial Army would attack Saya City at the apex of the isosceles triangle head-on.

Because Saya City does not have an air force.

With the strength of Garru's army and an air force, it is not difficult to capture this medium-sized city, but what the Holy Dynasty and Veigar's troops need to do is to block Ed City on the left and Tali City on the right reinforcements.

Each of these two cities has a division of the Royal Army.

Fortunately for the Holy Dynasty on the left, it is not difficult for two divisions to block one division, and their aviation units are relatively retained, but Vega is not optimistic because he only has the strength of a heavy brigade.

As for the air force?

Although the heavy equipment brigade is equipped with aviation units, there are only 8 carrier-type ships and 2 combat-type ships. This configuration can only reach half the number of standard divisions.

Can such a force really stop a division?

If it is external, Veigar will of course show 100% confidence. If someone dares to question, he will even show his record in the northern part of the empire to make the opponent shut up, but if he really thinks in his heart——

Speaking out will damage the glorious image, so I won't mention it here.

He is not the kind of person who is good at blocking warfare, and he is still in such an unfamiliar place, not to mention that the enemy's number of soldiers and the firepower of the air force are not comparable to him.

in short.

Veigar believed that the probability of failure was very high. Even if the whole army was wiped out, it would probably only last for about 10 days.

Within 10 days, can the frontal forces take Saya City?
In Vega's secret speculation, it would be good if Garru could come back alive, and he was talking about whether to take it or not to go to Saya City. This kind of thing is really just Vega fooling the two of them.

Yes, the seemingly reasonable plan is riddled with holes.

First of all, it is a pitfall for the Dynasty Army to block Ed City. Just imagine that an army group has been beaten and only two standard divisions are left. One can imagine how powerful the air support in Ed City and Tully City is.

Therefore, the dynasty army will be defeated.

Next came Garru's frontal forces.

Although it seems that I have an air force and the enemy has no air force, the chances of winning will be better.

But you have to see at the same time that the enemy is defending against the city, and the attacker does not have more than three times the strength to attack the city.Conventional siege battles are all piled up with life, and Garru's entire army is not wiped out in the end, it is considered a blessing from the gods.

So Veigar chose Tully City on the right.

This is the safest city. If the brigade can't resist the attack, they can retreat from the west immediately. If the enemy wants to reinforce Saya City, they need to go east. If the route is opposite, they will not choose to continue chasing Vega.

From this, it can be speculated that he has a considerable chance of surviving.

From the very beginning, Veigar did not think about winning in this inevitable war, but thought about how to survive the war. Even if he returns to the Seventh Army as a loser, it doesn't matter, because it is better than losing his life .

Why is it so negative and pessimistic, why not give it a go?
Thinking about the benefits, if this war can be won, I am afraid that half of the rank of major general will not be able to escape.

Because if you want to be promoted from brigadier general to major general, you need two miracle battles or 4 classic battles. If you can cover the retreat of our army and the troops of the Holy Dynasty, you have completed 1/4 of the major general progress.

But it was because he knew too much about the Royal Army.

Veigar couldn't even see the slightest hope of victory.

For the war of invisible hope, Veigar would never mistakenly participate in it if he was not forced to, and if he was forced to participate in it, he would immediately think of a way to protect himself so that he could retreat unscathed.

"This life is probably saved."

The next day, Veigar, who was rushing to Tali City with his troops, muttered to himself.

He was very clear about what he was going to do next, which was to block the enemy army as much as possible until Garru and the Holy Dynasty army were wiped out, so that he had a legitimate reason to retreat.

At that time, the commander-in-chief will blame him.

He could just put the blame on Garlu directly. After all, he had already done what he had to do. It was because his teammates didn't do their best to capture Saya City as originally planned. Even if Garlu came back alive, he probably wouldn't be able to refute it.

"Sniper tactics, retreat routes, methods of returning home... Excuses for getting rid of the crime."

Veigar, who was riding on a horse, clapped his fingers and repeated the planning process in his mind one by one to avoid omissions. When he counted the last preparation item, he nodded with satisfaction: "The plan is perfect, and the only thing missing is that Mr. Garru was defeated. news."

Just as Veigar was crazily cursing his allies, a report came.

"Report to the general."

Adjutant Yi Luo caught up with Vega: "You have arrived at the Tali Grand Canyon, which you plan to block. This is the only way for the Royal Army to reinforce Saya City."

"Order the whole army to stop advancing."

Veigar looked up at the precipitous Grand Canyon, this is indeed the best place to stop.

As long as a line of defense is established in the canyon, the main force can block the frontal attack, and at the same time arrange two flanking troops on both sides of the canyon for cover. With this method of continuously shrinking the front line, Veigar is sure to hold the enemy for 10 days.

It was this canyon that I saw on the map beforehand.

Wei Cai chose to block the reinforcements from Tully City instead of running to the flat terrain of Ed City to fight a hard battle. In addition, his troops were the least, so it was hard for the Holy Dynasty to say anything.

Of course there is one more important reason.

In this kind of terrain, the aviation unit is almost disabled, and the magic from the air can't bomb the bottom of the canyon at all.

Therefore, Vega did not intend to use war airships at all, and only let the army's war airships act as a deterrent to prevent the Royal Army from directly using airlifts to reinforce Saya City. After all, these divisions are aviation divisions.

"The heads of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th regiments please come forward."

After choosing a hidden place to station, Veigar took the staff, the heads of each regiment, and the deputy brigade commander Dandri to the high place.

He pointed to the middle of the canyon and said: "I need you to concentrate your troops in the middle of the canyon and use regular warfare to block the enemy, but please don't resist desperately. What I need is to fight and retreat, and lure the enemy to go deep."

"The lower official understands." Several people said in unison.

Veigar nodded in satisfaction and continued: "I will also be on the front line at that time. You just need to remember that sacrifices in war are inevitable, and don't be overwhelmed by anger."

Veigar didn't want to go to the front line to command.

However, this kind of blocking battle that races against time requires on-the-spot response and immediate command. Setting the headquarters at the rear will only cause conflicts between orders and actual conditions, and then lead to failure.

The main force has been deployed.

Vega looked at the deputy brigade commander Dandry and said: "Your Excellency Dandry, I need you to lead your 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th regiments as the flank troops for this blocking battle, ambush on both sides of the canyon, and prepare stones, Fire oil, arrows and other long-range throwing weapons. Once my troops lure the enemy to the ambush, please attack the enemy as soon as possible to cover us from the battlefield."

This is Veigar's blocking plan.

Mainly adopt the method of frontal blocking and flanking cover.

It allows the main force in charge of blocking the attack to retreat safely, and also prevents the Royal Army from chasing too deeply when it is ambushed. It can only advance the front line by hundreds of meters.

It will take at least 10 days for the Royal Army to completely break through the blocking circle of Tully Canyon.

The only thing Veigar needs to worry about is whether the Deputy Brigadier Commander Dandry, who is in charge of flanking cover, will take advantage of the opportunity to make a move, but as soon as this idea arises, he forgets it.

At such a time of big right and wrong.

As long as he is a smart enough person, he will not do things secretly.

Because now Vega and Dandry are grasshoppers on the same rope, if the mission fails, Vega and Dandry will be held accountable for the same crime, and if the mission fails due to Dandry's personal emotions, he will even be fully responsible .

According to Vega.

If you really want to take revenge, there will be opportunities in the future.

To take such a risk is a foolish way of hurting one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred. At least he would not do such a thing at this time. Maybe he will not have any influence on Dandry in the end, but will give himself Pay it in.

So Veigar gave Dandry a friendly look to hint at each other.

"The subordinate takes orders."

The same friendly tone came from Dandri's mouth.

At least on the surface, Dandry seems to be quite sensible, but there is an imperceptible eagerness in his eyes.
