Chapter 409
burn one's boats.

After giving the whole army a reason to fight for victory.

Veigar ordered the entire army to march towards the downstream city of Yaco according to the route planned in advance.

Yaco City is a city between medium and small. There is a Yaco Forest near him, surrounded by mountains. Although it is not easy to march on a large scale, it also means that the city is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Since there are a considerable number of air-raid shelters in the city, Veigar intends to use this small city as his base camp on the west bank.

After all the enemy has 100 war airships.

If you don't find a city with an air-raid shelter, then his 20 army is a living target, and the terrain around Yaco City and the large number of air-raid shelters in the city are natural footholds.

With the goal, the whole army is very motivated.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the soldiers, Veigar arrived near the forest of Yaco City that evening.

Because the speed of large-scale marches in the forest is very slow, Vega personally allocated a division as the vanguard to take Yaco City first.

In general.

It is impossible to have standing troops stationed in non-strategic cities and important passes.

Although this Yaco city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not an important hub city. Even if it is lost, it will not pose a threat to the entire downstream battle situation.

Even if it is used as a warehouse, it is a bit tasteless.

Surrounded by Yaco forest and surrounded by mountains, not only the speed of marching is slow, but also the speed of food transportation is not fast.It is like a pointed bottle, although it is safe, it is difficult to enter and exit. Once the enemy locks every intersection, it becomes a dead city.

But Veigar, who has just arrived, wants safety.

If you can't even guarantee your wealth and life, then why talk about taking the West Bank and unifying the dynasty.

Therefore, he intends to use this city as his base camp and radiate to the surrounding small towns. First, follow the example of Saint Laurent's defense system to establish a few basic lines of defense.

Even Vega, the time traveler.

They all admire the Yves Saint Laurent defense system established by the dynasty over several generations. That system is so perfect that it is almost impeccable. It can be said that as long as the user is not too stupid, it can make the enemy doubt life.

Therefore, no matter how high the price is for Jaco City, Vega will definitely win.

But when the Veigar vanguard came here, the white flag of surrender had already been hung on the tower.

It seems that apart from surrendering in Yaco City, they really have no other choice. After all, you can't expect a group of security forces who only oppress civilians to fight Vega's hundreds of thousands of regular troops.

And in the end.

In such a secondary city, even the security team has no more than a thousand people, but the high-level force in the Vega army has more than a thousand people.

Therefore, there is really no need to fight this kind of war, which is not even considered as cat and mouse. If we really want to describe this war seriously, it can probably be described as a prehistoric tyrannosaur crushing an ant to death. You don't know when you will kill your opponent.

After taking Yaco City.

Veigar surrounded the city and took 8 cities in a row in the next week.

These 8 cities are still only small cities, but they have formed a defense circle similar to the Saint Laurent defense system. The establishment of this defense circle also truly symbolizes that Vega has gained a firm foothold on the West Bank.

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground.

The Nine Cities in Vega's hands is equivalent to a foundation, and with a solid foundation, it will naturally be built up layer by layer, so after a week, Vega set his sights on the first strategic target cities——

The city of megaliths.

This is a heavy city in the lower reaches of the Dunbu River. It suppresses the lower reaches of the Donbu River like a huge rock from beyond the sky. Behind his huge body is a plain. There are two giant granary cities in operation, enough to supply millions of troops to sweep the entire lower reaches.

This is how the city of megaliths got its name.

As long as this city of boulders is stable and downstream, any young people will not be able to jump anywhere.

Now this heavy city is the closest to Veigar, and it takes less than 3 days to march at full speed to launch an attack on the city directly. Therefore, Veigar wants to truly unify the West Bank, and this city is the threshold that he can't get around no matter what.

And now Vega is short of food.

He had already marched west with the determination to never return, so he only brought a one-time supply. The supply line on the river did not exist at all. The enemy's navy was not wiped out, and all his supplies added up to only It can last for 3 months.

In other words.

If he can win the City of Boulders within 3 months, he will have no worries.

If he fails to take the City of Stone within 3 months, his army will collapse without a fight even without an enemy attack.

Therefore, this city of megaliths, Veigar is bound to win.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

Due to the underdeveloped traffic in Yaco City, the base camp, in order to ensure that the entire army can get sufficient supplies, the supply line will not be broken.

Vega ordered in advance to move the food and grass to Nera, a small city on the right rear of the front line city, and regarded this small city of Nera as the granary of this war, and entered the preparation stage of the war in a real sense.

----

Dunbu Great City, the palace meeting hall.

Of course, Vega's fanfare could not be concealed from the West Bank government. The defenders of Boulder City sent the battle report to the First Prince immediately, and the First Prince immediately summoned a group of generals to discuss.

"Everyone, the latest battle report from downstream."

The eldest prince announced the battle report: "Due to the mistake of that idiot Felix, a mouse successfully entered our territory. Now this mouse not only occupies the nine small cities downstream, but also has the audacity to set its sights on the boulder. City, so I would like to ask you what you think about this matter?"

"The lower officials think that this matter is not worth mentioning."

A staff officer with the rank of lieutenant general stood up and said: "The city of megaliths sits downstream, and there are 24 soldiers from our 3th army stationed there. It can completely deal with a group of recruits who have never even been on the battlefield. , but defending the city.”

"Your Excellency's words are wrong."

"After all, the enemy army has 20 soldiers, even if they are new recruits, they should not be underestimated."

"We are defending the city, not fighting a frontal battle, nor fighting a siege battle!"

"That makes sense. Our main attention now should be on the city of black gold. When the situation in the city of black gold stabilizes, it won't be too late to go back and deal with this little mouse downstream."

The meeting hall became noisy like a vegetable market.

Some people advocated sending troops downstream immediately, while some felt that there was no need to dispatch the main force at all. Instead, the remaining 20 main force should be kept in case the Black Gold City needed it.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were not unified, the eldest prince looked at Xi En: "What advice does the old general have?"

Hearing the words, the most prestigious old general Sean finally stood up.

He didn't make any long speeches, but simply said to the First Prince: "If you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. The next official is willing to lead the army to the south of the giant rock to calm down the downstream."
