Chapter 840 Tenacious Resistance
The shield of the empire, the city of Shera.

The combat commander of the city was Tiers, who had returned from defeat in the east.

As one of the veteran generals of the empire, the recent wars made him really unable to do what he wanted.

In particular, the east was attacked by the Jialan Army and lost two important cities including Elchea and Xielantu, which made him deeply feel that he has really grown old and become useless .

If placed at a young age.

No matter what he is, he will not be so dull.

It's a pity that his youth is gone, and it coincides with the time when the empire employs people, so he can only bite the bullet and push forward.

Of course, sighs are sighs.

Regarding this battle, Tiers certainly believed that the empire would surely defend the central region, and cooperate with the Western Allied Forces to destroy the Jialan Kingdom in the coming year.

This kind of self-confidence is the most basic.

If you lose even this level of self-confidence, then you are no longer qualified to call yourself a commander.

especially……

As the former teacher of Vega Saint Laurent, he was not allowed to admit defeat in front of his students.

A true commander will always maintain a challenging heart.

Even though he is old, his thinking, agility, physical strength... can no longer keep up with young officers, but only this determination to win will not lose to anyone, even if the opponent is called No.1 will exist.

In other words...

He looked forward to the war, even to confront Veigar himself.

And the horn of war really rose as he expected, and with the loud explosion behind him, a soldier rushed into Tiers' office.

"Commander, enemy attack!"

"Don't panic, where is the enemy coming from?"

Tiers showed the calmness that a commander should have. He knew very clearly that as a qualified commander, even if he was extremely flustered, at least he couldn't let the soldiers see it on the surface.

Tiers' composure calmed down the soldiers.

He quickly replied: "The enemy came from the direction of Jier City. Now they have broken through our rear and occupied the city gate. The main force will arrive at the city within half a day and launch a general attack on us."

"As expected of Vega Saint Laurent."

Tiers's face was full of envy: "Using the navy to touch the rear without anyone noticing, this strategy is hard to predict, let alone now, even if I was in my heyday."

This is indeed the reason for the inertia of thinking.

The higher the level of the general, the more difficult it is for him to think of using the navy to make a big circle and land behind for a surprise attack.Especially for a country like the Nuolan Empire, which claims to have an invincible army, it is even more impossible to pay attention to matters at sea.

Therefore, Vega's actions made Tiers admire from the bottom of his heart.

But let him admit defeat, he will not agree to such a thing.

He unhurriedly took a sip of coffee, and then said to the soldiers: "First, guide the civilians to evacuate; second, launch the plan A that was customized in advance; third, immediately ask for help from other cities."

"Yes, Commander."

Infected by Tiers, the soldiers became more confident.

After the soldiers left, Tiers put down his cup and said, "Although I am indeed old, I never expected that you would launch this surprise attack from the rear, but Vega, don't underestimate your teacher. "

What appeared on Tiers' face was absolute confidence.

Because although he didn't expect from which direction Veigar would break through the city defenses, he expected that Veigar would definitely be able to break through the first line of defense and rush into the city.

In other words.

Tiers' confidence is not confidence in himself, but confidence in Vega.

He firmly believed that Veigar must be able to do what others could not, and based on this premise, he directly gave up the battle for the city gate, and made a lot of preparations in the city, intending to use street fighting in the city to drag the reinforcements to arrive.

It's hard to believe.

As a commander who defends the city, instead of doing a good job of deploying the first line of defense, he chooses to unconditionally believe that no matter how he strengthens the first line of defense, the enemy will definitely break through it.

This is like admitting that your level is not as good as that of the opponent, but believing that you will win.

This contradiction between self-confidence and lack of self-confidence was vividly displayed in Tiers, and relying on this, he made preparations in advance, which directly caused Vega to be greatly hindered.

It can indeed be described as huge.

As a vanguard, Kaga has already felt tremendous pressure.

After occupying the city gate before, the enemy's loose resistance allowed him to defeat it effortlessly, and obtained a crucial breakthrough in the city. He even thought that the war would be ended when the main force arrived.

But with the arrival of the main force and the advancement of the battle line, he found that he was wrong.

In the central area near the periphery of the city, the enemy relied on a huge army to forcibly block the Jialan army from one line of defense. If they want to get a line of defense, the Jialan army often has to pay several times the price.

This can be seen from Kaga's own troops.

The reinforced regiment with more than 6000 people has only less than [-] left, and who knows how many lines of defense they need to break through. At this speed, I am afraid that this war will not be resolved within two days. .

Are you going to return without success?

Kajia was very unwilling, because he had already crossed the most difficult step, but died on the last step. How could he admit such a thing? Is his persistence just a joke?

"Charge! Don't stop!"

Kaja raised his spear and ordered Soldiers No. 11 to charge the front line of defense.

But this time, what made Kaja despair was not how strong the enemy's defenses were, but that his own soldiers had already developed fear and began to dare not charge.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear my order?"

Kajia yelled angrily, but unfortunately all the soldiers lowered their heads: "Regimental Commander, we have launched eleven charges, and the brothers are all tired. Why don't you slow down and let the brothers from other troops go up first."

"Other troops? Yes! Other troops!"

Kaja turned around and looked around, but sadly found that other troops also began to be timid.

As seen.

These 30 soldiers are naval land combat troops. The overall combat effectiveness is probably a little stronger than cannon fodder, and a little weaker than the regular army. As for the elite soldiers of the imperial army, they are estimated to be several grades weaker.

Therefore.

As long as they encounter a little difficulty in the war, this kind of army will be afraid to fight, and even flee.

Tiers also expected that Jialan Kingdom would have no elite troops to use except for the 80 frontal, so he could guarantee that he would be able to deal with Vega's surprise attack.

Follow this trend.

This time the raid might end in anticlimactic conditions due to the quality of the soldiers.

Kajia, who saw the situation clearly, let go of the spear in his hand as if he had been exhausted, and fell into despair like other soldiers, and despair is indeed contagious, and now the Jialan Army has lost the beginning. morale.
