Chapter 318 Holy Glory City

Jialan calendar 380 years, 3.18.

Veigar's troops marched into the dense forest about 25 kilometers away from Shenghui City.

If you march in a hurry, you can reach Shenghui City in less than a day and launch an attack on Shenghui City.

But here is the border line of vigilance.

According to the information detected by the reconnaissance team, the enemy's security range is quite wide, almost covering a radius of 10 kilometers from the Holy City. He may be noticed by the enemy if he continues to march with a large force.

Once the enemy is aware of a large force marching.

Then Shenghui City will first close the gates, take precautions, and send an early warning and help signal to Saint Laurent City.

Since Saint Laurent City is one of the satellite cities of Saint Laurent, it is also a crucial link in the entire Saint Laurent defense system. Once an early warning and a call for help are issued, Saint Laurent reinforcements can arrive within a day. The other three satellite cities, And other cities that make up the defense system can use the high-speed channel of the defense network to rush to support within two days.

This kind of extreme fast support is very likely to drag Veigar into the quagmire of the tug of war.

Once dragged into a tug-of-war, it is very likely that Veigar's troops will need to consume a lot of troops to attack the Holy City, and at the same time, the troops in the coastal cities of the Kingdom will also provide timely support.

When the defense system of Shenghui City is fully activated.

Roughly calculated, Veigar needs to pay a huge price to win the city of Holy Glory. The price is even as huge as 1/2 of the total force, and it will take more than half a month, not to mention attacking the city of Saint Laurent later.

In other words.

Once he is dragged into the quagmire of the tug-of-war, even if his plan succeeds, he will suffer heavy losses, and may even be destroyed by the support troops from the cities along the river.

therefore.

In Vega's plan, he needed to conquer Saint Laurent City within one day, take Saint Laurent City within 5 days, and acquire the entire Saint Laurent defense system within 15 days.

only if.

Only then did Vega have a lot of time to rest and reorganize his troops, recruit soldiers, and resist the first wave of attack from the Royal Army that came from the city along the river one month and 1 days later.As long as he can survive the first wave, he will win a respite.

"It's simply impossible."

Carol vetoed Vega's battle plan on the spot: "Only foreigners like you who have never been to Holy Glory City will look down on our satellite city. , are the top tier 2 cities in the dynasty, a truly large city, but it is only overshadowed by Saint Laurent."

"Take the Holy City in one day?"

"Even if you're joking, there should be a limit!"

This time, not only Carol, but even Menno, the head of the Royal Army, and the staff of the Vega Army raised objections: "I'm sorry, Mr. Brigadier, there is no precedent or reason for this kind of battle plan. It can be found that it is really difficult for us to take down Shenghui City in one day."

"Hahaha--"

Carol couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "Little brat, even your own subordinates are opposed to your battle plan. What you, the officer, have really failed. This time, I see what you have to say."

"Lieutenant, pass on my order."

Veigar didn't pay attention to everyone's opinions, he ordered like a dictatorial emperor: "Convene the shadow mage squad, 2/3 of the entire army will be professionals, magicians, and elite troops to form a vanguard army, 2000 people are enough. "

"Yes, General."

Yi Luo straightened his body, he didn't care about the feasibility of the plan.

In his eyes, as long as it is an order from Veigar, no matter how unreasonable it is, it must be carried out.

Vega then issued an order: "Your soldiers are very fast. After resting, when the sky will be dark tonight, I need the vanguard to arrive at the Holy City for siege. The main force needs to march at full speed for support in half an hour."

"Master Brigadier, your plan is too messy."

A staff officer of the brigade stood up and said: "The enemy's strength is a standard brigade. If you send a 2000-man army to go deep alone, let alone take down the city gate, I am afraid that you will be wiped out by the enemy at one time during the attack. Please excuse my difficulty in agreeing."

"I don't need your permission."

Veigar didn't even look at the staff officer: "This time I will personally go to the front line to command the vanguard."

In Vega's army, the staff officer has almost no sense of presence except for assisting from the side: "There is also Captain Menno, you must follow me, let your chance of survival come, it depends on you Can you hold it?"

goo-dong-

Menno swallowed, he didn't know what Vega was planning.

So Vega led more than 2000 vanguard troops and began to march towards the Holy City at full speed.

Of course, before marching, Veigar also issued another order that no one else could understand——

Put on the uniform of the Royal Army.

Perhaps no one in this world can understand this action, but as a Chinese person on Earth who has been influenced by intrigue for thousands of years, he must be able to understand the meaning of doing so.

That's right, they pretended to be the Royal Army and opened the city gates.

When Veigar ransacked the logistics warehouse of Silverpine City, he saw thousands of neat military uniforms from the Royal Army and captured Menno, the head of the Royal Army, so he thought of how to capture Holy Glory City "in a fair and honest manner".

As long as Menno doesn't betray the water at a critical moment.

Then Veigar can guarantee that the city gate will be fraudulently opened without any effort. After the gate is fraudulently opened, due to the enemy's rush to fight, it is impossible to regain control of the city gate in a short time. At this time, the main force from the rear arrives...

What if Menno sold them at a critical moment?
First of all, Veigar has already thoroughly grasped Menno's character, and he will follow him the whole time. Unless he doesn't want his own life, he will never dare to betray the truth at a critical moment.

This is Veigar's entire plan.

It is estimated that this is the first time in this world that someone has used such a shameless trick to carry out a siege.

19:00 sharp.

Vega's troops reached a radius of 10 kilometers from the Holy City, and every soldier wore a red armband, which was to distinguish who was his own and who was the enemy.

It was at this time.

The Royal Army's reconnaissance unit spotted Veigar's troops.

----

in the bushes.

Two kingdom scouts wearing green military caps showed their heads.

One of the short scouts asked the middle-aged scout beside him: "Captain, where did this army come from? Do you want to send a warning signal to make the troops in the city be more vigilant?"

"What signal does this situation send?"

The middle-aged scout said with a look of old fritters: "Look at their downcast faces. It is obvious that the defeated army came from which city. I am afraid that they have come to our Shenghui City to seek refuge. You just need to inform the brigadier. As long as the friendly army of about 2000 people is heading towards the east gate, there is no need to make a fuss and send any warning signal."

"Yes, captain, I'll bring the news back right now."

This team member ran towards the city at high speed, but Veigar's troops turned a deaf ear to the scouting troops who were not well disguised, and did not order to eliminate them, so he just marched towards the Holy City openly.

And the more open and aboveboard, the less interested the kingdom's scouting troops would be.

At the beginning, there were more than 10 people watching, many of whom were professionals, but later on there were only two or three ordinary people left.

19:30 minutes.

The east gate of Shenghui City was already close at hand, and Vega found that the enemy hadn't even closed the gate.
