Chapter 831
city ​​of war.

This is known as the most important city in Northwest China.

Numerous wars have been fought here, especially the last rebel war, the influence of all the people being soldiers is still there, so the people here are tough, which really caused headaches for the empire after the war.

Fortunately, after a long period of precipitation, the place became silent again.

There are now about 7 defenders stationed in the city, and there is also an air force in addition to it. The only regret is that the crystal hub is beyond repair, which has greatly reduced the safety factor of the city.

The general of the defenders was a young brigadier named Neville Dahlberg.

He is the son of Kafyn Dahlberg, and he was also the captain who was defeated by Vega at the Battle of the Central Military Academy.

Perhaps it was also because of the disastrous defeat of the father and son in Vega's hands that the former playboy grew up. In the end, relying on his excellent strength and background, and coincided with the period when the empire's senior generals were extremely vacant, he was promoted.

months ago.

Neville is still gloating.

Because the Jialan Empire is about to be destroyed, and that little ghost named Vega is about to fall at last. From now on, the big stone that weighs on his heart will be removed, and his glorious period will come.

at that time.

He even wanted to thank Vega for waking him up, otherwise how would he get to where he is today?
But it didn't make him happy for long.

Half a month ago, the Jialan Empire invaded the empire on a large scale, and took over the entire northern and eastern regions of the empire in less than fifteen days, which made him sleepless for several days in the northwest.

Do not!
Even now, Neville is still panicking.

Although Veigar probably didn't have the slightest impression of him, he still had a fresh memory of Veigar. The scene of the disastrous defeat still often appeared in his dreams until now, becoming a nightmare that he could never erase.

So he now fears very much that Veigar will attack the city of war.

Although this is impossible no matter from which angle, because the place where he is located is the city of war!

If you want to travel thousands of miles to the city of war, you must first take down the city of Lacasia, or the entire central region of the empire.

In other words, it is absolutely safe here.

But Neville Dahlberg remained uneasy.

He didn't know where this anxiety came from, but it couldn't go away anyway.

The final facts have proved that sometimes the crisis warning of animals is more reliable than any logical speculation.

Because just a few seconds ago, a sudden explosion sounded, and then a war airship slowly fell from the sky.

Can't go wrong!
That was his patrol airship, and what the crash of the patrol airship means is self-evident...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The city's air defense alarm was sounded, and the war airships at the airport began to take off.

Thanks to this uneasiness, Neville has strengthened the surrounding inspection work in the past few days, and even sent a scout airship to check the surrounding situation, so that the air force of the city of war will not repeat the same situation as Kale The mistakes of Niji City.

But, sadly, caution alone is of no use.

Because the empire's attention was completely focused on the northern and eastern fronts, this left the entire northwest almost in a vacuum. Relying on the air force alone was not enough to turn the tide of the war.

boom boom-

A fierce air battle broke out.

But it was a unilateral crush, because Jialan Country had two air forces, while War City had only one air force.

After all, one against two is too reluctant.

"Why? Why did the Jialan army appear here!"

Neville could hardly believe his eyes.

Even if the air force with strong mobility wants to cross the border directly, it will be blocked by the air force of Lakasia City, and it is impossible to go deep here.

"Could it be..."

Neville suddenly thought of a terrible thing, that is, the city of La Cassia had fallen.

But that doesn't make sense either.

Because once La Cassia falls, he will definitely receive news, but so far he hasn't gotten any news.

It's impossible for a large army to run faster than the scouts delivering the letter, right?
Neville thought about it, but he didn't understand how the Jialan Army suddenly appeared here.

Put these thoughts aside for a moment.

Neville shouted loudly: "Scouts! Scouts! Immediately report the situation on the front line. Has the enemy's army begun to attack the city? Inform the frontline troops that they must guard the city gate no matter what, and the enemy's army cannot enter the city."

"Report, report, Commander, our army failed to detect the enemy's army coordinates."

"You mean the enemy has no army at all?"

Neville was taken aback by the soldier's answer, and he suddenly thought of a terrible thing——

Air Marines!
This was a new tactic in the United Kingdom at the time, using the Air Force to transport soldiers into or near cities by air.

But this kind of behavior is too risky to make any mistakes, because a war airship needs to transport more than half of the division's soldiers, once one or two ships are destroyed, it may even directly bankrupt the plan.

unless……

The enemy has the strength to crush the air force.

But judging from the current situation, the enemy does have the strength to crush their air force.

Then it all makes sense.

There must be an army attacking the city of Lakasia, holding it back, or taking it directly, so the air force of the Jialan country was able to break through to such a deep hinterland, and at the same time, the enemy's army had probably already crossed the border , can arrive here soon, once the enemy's main force arrives, the city of war will definitely fall.

Figured out the key.

Neville calmly issued two orders.

The first is to order the army to encircle and suppress the airborne troops with all their strength. No matter how high the price is, they must encircle and suppress the airborne troops in the city within three days, while ensuring the safety of the city gates.

The second order is to ask for help from the imperial capital.

Neville has decided to race against time.

As long as he can annihilate the airborne troops within three days, he can keep the army out after three days.

At that time, if it lasts for another seven days, reinforcements from the central part of the empire will arrive, and then Jialan Kingdom's quick attack plan will be declared bankrupt. This is indeed a war against time.

This is also the best command at this stage.

Even if an experienced commander is replaced, he can only achieve this level of remediation.

It's a pity that the city of war completely scrapped the crystal hub in the previous wars.

In the absence of air supremacy, it is almost a dream to wipe out more than [-] Jialan airborne troops within three days, because the war airships of Jialan can provide air support at any time.

So the end result is obvious.

After all, Neville still failed to wait for reinforcements from the empire, but three days later, the 20 Jia blue army arrived one step ahead.

After a bitter battle, the city of war declared its fall three days later.
