Chapter 480 The Siege Network War Ends

The village of Yuca, the garrison of the Oponian army,

"The fire attack plan failed. It seems that the Wenster people's military camp is more tightly defended than we imagined."

Katis's voice rang out from the village chief's hall. After passing through the isolation of the wall, there was only a slight buzzing sound outside.

"Heh." Argo Walker let out a cold snort. He looked at the military map spread out on the desktop. The positions of Yuka Village Station, Winster Camp and Timothy Castle were clearly marked on it. It was obvious that the Russian Poniaians could attack Winster's army from two directions, but due to the opponent's combat effectiveness and the inability of the two armies to get in touch, Yagao dared not take the initiative to attack.

If he leads an army to attack Winster's army and attracts the enemy's firepower, but the defenders on Timothy's castle don't know how to seize the opportunity, and instead continue to hide in the castle to watch the show, then his three thousand reinforcements will be over. ?

Although he didn't have much hope for last night's fire attack operation, he was still a little bit unwilling when it really failed.He had observed the camp of the Winsters. Except for the two entrances and exits, the camp was surrounded by a ditch filled with spikes at the bottom. If he wanted to break into the camp, he had to brave the enemy's fire and break through the gate. There is no other way.

After seeing this scene, the adjutant next to him, Katis, patted his chest thankfully. Fortunately, he didn't just lead the cavalry to attack the camp at night, otherwise his body might be lying on the charge road outside the camp. up.It would be fine if he could break through the city gate directly. If he couldn't break through the city gate in the first place, the seven hundred cavalry would have to accept the baptism of firepower outside.

"Agao, I still advocate evacuation. The number of Winsters far exceeds us, and the weapons they use are stronger than ours. This is clearly a war that must be lost."

The persuasion of his friend made Yagao's face darken a bit. He looked at the signs on the map, and then looked up at the surrounding noble officers. They didn't want to start a war with the Winsters. A force of more than 8000 people meets an enemy with more than [-] high combat effectiveness, which is clearly death.

Although they didn't say it clearly, Yagao knew it clearly in his heart, but he just didn't want to say it.

The corners of his mouth twitched, recalling the battle nine years ago, but he still didn't say the words to withdraw the troops. He clenched his fists and said, "If we withdraw, the more than 2000 friendly troops in Timothy Castle will be killed by Winster. People were killed and we lost more than 2000 soldiers, and we were even more unable to win."

"Two-thirds of the kingdom's troops have been gathered in this area. If we fail, the kingdom will really fail."

"..."

The crowd was dumbfounded.

After a while, a nobleman spoke up and said: "But, General Walker, even if we don't retreat, there is no way to save the trapped friendly troops. Instead of dying here together, it is better to retreat and preserve our strength for future wars." "

"Yes, General Walker, you also have to consider the lives of the more than 3000 soldiers in the army. The people in Timothy Castle have been sentenced to death. No matter what we do, we cannot save them."

"General Walker, what are you hesitating about? If the Winsters split up and attack us, we will all be finished!"

Hearing the words of the nobles, Argo Walker could only smile helplessly, and let go of his clenched hands. He remembered the scene nine years ago, but he was powerless and helpless.

"Withdraw the troops, and withdraw to the Crosby line."

he said wearily.

……

By the time Winster's army arrived at the Yuka Village station that the captives had mentioned, the place was already empty, and the ground was full of human and livestock feces and all kinds of garbage, and the few supplies that were too late to take away were also set on fire. for a pile of ashes.

Seeing this, the leader of the team, Officer Winston, had no choice but to withdraw his troops. They were not familiar with this area and a rash pursuit would only make the same mistake as the Second Brigade of the First Army. In the military academy, the example of the Second Brigade had already been It was written into the textbook to warn every student who read the book that Butters Stotch and his Second Brigade were completely crucified on the pillar of shame, and I am afraid they will never be taken down.

The Timothy Castle and the garrison inside the castle, which was abandoned by the friendly forces, were finally out of ammunition and food after more than two months, and they were forced to open the city and surrender down the mountain. After the Winster army took over the castle, they were shocked to find more than 2000 garrisons Only half was left, and many people either died of thirst due to lack of water, or fought for water and food, and killed each other due to internal strife.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

While Richard's Third Brigade of the Second Army was besieging Timothy Castle, Ronald's Third Brigade of the Third Army had already used artillery to break through the border defenses of the Kingdom of Balaria, razing several strongholds in succession, The soldiers are in full swing. Although the Balaria people want to send troops to resist, it is now the autumn harvest season. Although it is in the period of mobilization for a full-scale war, there are still a large number of conscripts returning to their hometowns to harvest. The army has shrunk seriously. The Winsters were at war, and their morale would be shaken even by the sight of them.

Taking advantage of the advantages of the legion system, the wars fought by the Winston army can be said to be victory after victory. The Union forces that fought against them could only huddle in important cities and defend themselves. The entire alliance fell apart. The monarchs had their own agendas. They should have been the most united. However, there was internal fighting, and failure was also a matter of time.

……

In the spring of the following year, that is, on March 1126, 3 in the continental calendar, the second siege war finally came to an end with the defeat of the alliance. The countries of the alliance were either forced to sign unequal treaties and became vassal states of the Winster Kingdom. Either be conquered by the iron hooves of Winster's army, incorporated into the territory of the kingdom, and accept the rule of the new Winster nobles.

After the Second Siege War ended, the influence of the Winster Kingdom increased unprecedentedly, and the entire Vardasia Peninsula was included in the kingdom's sphere of influence. The strength of Winster's army was passed on by bards and traveling merchants. It has spread throughout most of the Kuyawi continent, even in the land of hammer across the sea to the east of the Osa Peninsula.

Because of this, the eyes of countries outside the Vardasia Peninsula are attracted by this powerful rising country. They have sent spies to investigate the intelligence of this regional power, or sent diplomats to contact it and sign official trade agreements.

Under such circumstances, Richard sent envoys to various countries and forces throughout the Vadasia Peninsula, inviting them to Nord City to hold a meeting related to the future of the Vadasia Peninsula. Confused, but due to the prestige of the Winster Kingdom, the countries could only accept the invitation and send envoys to attend the meeting.

Richard is not content with the title of king anymore, he wants to become the emperor, the emperor of the entire Valdasia peninsula, and the Caesar of the Holy Roman Empire!
