Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1576 Chapter 1577 The ever-changing battle situation

 It is very troublesome to coordinate things between two countries. In fact, even if it is not a war, if the army of one country wants to enter another country in an organized manner, it will require a lot of procedures.

What's more, the war between the dwarves and the elves has just ended. If you want the elven troops to march into the dwarf territory, you can't even imagine what kind of effort and coordination it takes. .

This is definitely not something that General Moss can say casually and then arrange immediately. Even the dwarf Ice Empire has not even made corresponding preparations.

Although the elves are willing to provide all the help they can, they are still in the negotiation stage, because the news that the elves are willing to cooperate has only happened in the past two days.

Even if it is a plane, the elves are not ready yet - let alone a large number of troops crossing the border and entering the Ice Empire to fight.

 But the current situation is that the dwarves are almost exhausted: among the 10 armies, the 1st and 2nd main armies have collapsed and are basically annihilated.

The 4th and 5th Group Armies still on the front line are not particularly effective in combat effectiveness. The 6th Group Army deployed on the southern border to target the elves has just begun to move north and is still some distance away from the front line.

In addition, we have to exclude the 3rd Army that defends Ironforge and the 10th Army that is stationed on the southern border and is unable to move. The remaining troops are actually not that many.

The 7th Army is deployed on the east side of Ironforge. They are quite far away from the battlefield and cannot reach the battlefield for a while. The 8th and 9th Army are now the only hope for the dwarves.

Even with the addition of these three armies, the dwarves deployed only 6 armies on the front line, which were used to directly resist the 2 armies of the Tang Army. However, it was not enough.

  If the dwarves cannot provide more troops, then they will basically lose this war. Therefore, the Bingbing Empire issued a mobilization order a few days ago and ordered the formation of 10 new army groups to fight against the invasion of the Tang Dynasty.

But water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. It is too slow to expect the reserve team to complete training and join the battle. The dwarves still have to try their best to buy enough time for full mobilization.

Although Dorne is active, they are too far away from the Ice Empire. By the time Dorne's troops are transported to the front line, the Tang people have almost reached Ironforge and even destroyed the Ice Empire.

 So after receiving Moss’s suggestion, Ice Cold I immediately contacted the elves’ envoy stationed in Ironforge and sent him a request for support.

The Ice Empire hopes that the elves can dispatch two armies, preferably 200,000 troops, to go north to join the war against the Tang army.

Only in this way can they ensure that the total strength of the front line is restored to about 500,000 in a short time, at least maintaining a passable state in terms of numbers.

 But the elf envoys were unable to agree to such an exaggerated request for a while: they had not yet completely separated from the Tang Empire, and they were not ready for a full-scale war.

You must know that sending hundreds of thousands of troops out to fight is not an easy task, let alone fighting the most powerful country in the world.

 No matter what, it takes courage to make such a decision. It will take time for Yang Mu I to make the determination to go to full-scale war with the Tang Empire. This is definitely bad news for the dwarves: what they lack now is time! If the Tang army goes south to occupy Yongdong Port, it will not be so easy to fight again.

One day passed in this hesitation. After defeating the 1st Army of the Ice Empire, the 9th Army of the Tang State quickly advanced forward and then occupied a village less than 20 kilometers away from Everwinter City.

They arrived at Everwinter City from the north, and then the 9th Armored Division acted as a forward force, bypassing Everwinter City and cutting off the railway going south from Everwinter City.

This can be regarded as actually surrounding the city of Everwinter and cutting off about 80% of the city's connections with the outside world. Eternal Winter City, which has lost its railway transportation, can only rely on a few coastal roads to survive.

At this time, the Tang Army's condition was not very good, and their battle line was too long. The 9th Army almost drew a giant C around Eternal Winter City, exposing all of its flanks.

Fortunately, on the periphery of this huge C-shaped encirclement, there are the remnants of the Ice Empire's 1st Army which has no combat capability, and the 5th Army which has weak field capabilities, so Feng Kezhi will not face the enemy's madness for the time being. Fight back.

But this state will not last long. When the dwarves' 6th Army and 8th Army arrive, in order to save Yongdong Port, the other side will definitely launch a counterattack in an attempt to cut off the Tang Dynasty's 9th Army whose front is too long.

Therefore, Feng Kezhi did not rush to encircle the Everwinter Port, which was already in his pocket. Instead, he mobilized the 9th Infantry Division and the 19th Infantry Division, which were the most capable in his establishment, and began to launch a reverse attack on the Ice Empire. Onslaught by the 5th Army.

 He wanted to spread out his formation before a strong enemy arrived, increase his strategic depth, and put himself in a more advantageous position.

There is another benefit to this arrangement. Marshal Tiger hopes to "suspend" the comprehensive siege of Everwinter City, leaving some time for the dwarf troops stationed in this area to retreat.

 That's right, the siege must be encircled. This is an old routine in encirclement warfare. It can greatly shake the fighting determination of the enemy defending the city, and is a very clever psychological warfare method.

In conjunction with this action of the 9th Group Army, the 1st Armored Division of the Tang Empire also joined the offensive sequence. They quickly achieved results. On a day when the elves were still hesitant to send troops to directly participate in the battle, they launched a terrifying attack. Offensive frenzy.

They compressed the 5th Army 30 kilometers southeastward in one breath, basically squeezing out the original more favorable position.

Even if the subsequent dwarf troops arrived, they would not be able to take advantage of the favorable position occupied by the 5th Army to launch a counterattack against the Tang Army's 9th Army.

 The war has reached this state, and the situation is already very unfavorable for the Ice Empire. The dwarves frantically asked for help, while dispatching troops and generals, desperately deploying reinforcements to the front line.

On the other hand, Binghan I personally gave an order to Moss, strictly ordering him to defend the city of Everwinter. The 4th Army could not take a step back under any circumstances!
