Soon, under the order of Rick, Luo soldiers of the three corps drove more than 100,000 scattered siege troops towards the direction of the siege army.≧大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大�
Seeing this, Reisl was overjoyed. He did not expect that Goethe Fortress was about to change his master. He thought that the siege troops would retreat voluntarily, so he quickly ordered the Central Army camp to take the initiative to take back the defeated troops. No matter how powerful the grassland cavalry was, it would be impossible to attack the Central Army camp, which was not inferior to the city wall defense.
Seeing the troops that were being brought back one after another, Reiser also urgently ordered the troops of the rear army to close towards the Central Army, preparing to face the impact of the Luo soldiers on the grassland with the defense of the camp.
On the other hand, the rescue troops sent by the fourth prince were also intercepted by the cavalry troops sent by Reisl at the same time. A large battle occurred between the 100,000 rescue cavalry and the five interceptor cavalry. Since the rescue troops did not know whether the Goethe Fortress was trapped, the commander of the rescue Luo Bing was very anxious and ordered the Luo Bing to not fight with the opponent's cavalry. However, although the number of Luo Bing in the siege army was half, the victory was only to block. After one interception battle between the two sides, most of the rescue cavalry were still blocked by the interception cavalry on the rescue route.
However, the tens of thousands of rescuers who had escaped from blocking Luo Bing were immediately blocked by the 100,000 infantry soldiers of the siege army like iron walls. If they were bypassed, they didn't know how much time would be wasted.
The commander who rescued Luo Bing had no choice but to look forward to the follow-up infantry who rescued quickly and directly broke through with large forces.
Fortunately, it was only an hour later, and the 300,000 infantry of the rescue army quickly followed up. Not only did they still fight to encircle countless cavalrymen, but they also began an offensive and defensive battle with the intercepting infantry.
Reiser, who had already begun a war with the rescue troops and the interceptor troops, looked at the tiger's eyes of hundreds of thousands of Luo soldiers in front of him. He did not want to be divided and annihilated. He had to order the interceptor troops to fight and retreat, hoping to join forces with the central and rear troops to resist the rescue troops and the hundreds of thousands of cavalry that suddenly emerged in front of him.
Rick ordered Hank and Akure to repel the 120,000 soldiers hiding outside and siege troops besieging Goethe Fortress in other directions, and quickly handed over the defenders from the back door of Goethe Fortress.
The handover with Goethe Fortress was very smooth. Since Rice had seen that there was little hope of breaking Goethe Fortress before, he had ordered the soldiers to return to the central camp. Rick's troops were separated by tens of thousands of cavalry and drove away the besieged soldiers of the siege. The subsequent troops successfully accepted Goethe Fortress. The former army also left sadly with basic defensive weapons and rations under Rick's "generousness".
When everything was settled the next day and the three forces confronted each other in a triangular confrontation, everyone found that Goethe Fortress had changed its master, and this new master was the Black Rock City troops that should not have appeared.
"Damn it!" In the camp of the central army of the siege, Reisl roared angrily. He never expected that such a perfect plan could be said to be a fight, and it was a battle plan that was exchanged for the honor of Ogden's Golden Family. In two days of siege, nearly 100,000 casualties were killed. Twenty thousand soldiers were killed at Goethe, and they were actually exchanged for making wedding clothes for others. Especially the person Chengli in the fire was actually Rick, the Black Rock City, which Reisl hated the most, and this abominable villain who took his fiancée away!
In such an ending, Reiser was almost hysterical and crazy, but the full Black Rock City troops of more than 100,000 soldiers in the Goethe Fortress, and the grassland Luo soldiers of nearly three corps. Reiser's still rational brain told him that it would be almost impossible to attack Goethe Fortress head-on without an absolute advantage!
However, he only had more than 700,000 troops left under his command, and more than 50,000 soldiers were killed at Goethe City, or killed or blocked reinforcements. There were more than 100,000 wounded soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness. Facing Rick's more than 400,000 available troops, it was not impossible to break through the Goethe Fortress that reinforcing its defense. The casualties were absolutely amazing and heavy. In this case, Rice also planned to attack Goethe Fortress to avenge honor and was humiliated. However, there were not only the crusade army and the Black Rock City troops, but there were nearly 400,000 rescue troops coming to rescue. I don't know what methods did Rick have used, but the attack direction of these rescue troops did not face Goethe Fortress, but directly had abnormal friction with the crusade army.
Reisel had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit secretly, and temporarily shrink his troops and retreat fifty miles to station. However, the rescue troops left earlier. He turned back to continue attacking. At that time, most of the wounded soldiers could recover their combat power. At that time, the attack of Goethe Fortress, which had only a large number of cavalry, as long as it advances steadily, it is not impossible for the cavalry to take advantage of the opportunity. Goethe Fortress is not impossible. Facing the huge battle results in the future, no matter how great the troops are, Reisel could bear it. The commander of the rescue army sent by Rick and the fourth prince was drinking and talking happily. "Earl Bodry, we haven't seen each other for some years. I just inherited my title last time. You came to watch the ceremony. I haven't seen you for a few years. You are still in style!" Rick raised his old cup and signaled to Bodry.
Bodry is not unfamiliar with Rick. He is the deputy commander of the Southern Legion and has been stationed in the south for a long time. Of course, he has seen Rick, the lord of Rami County, who is close to the southern territory and a southwest neighboring county, of course, he has seen him several times, but he is not that familiar with him.
"Marquis Rick, this time you took advantage of the siege army to capture Goethe Fortress first. It seems a bit not too thick!" Looking at Rick with interest, Bodry's tone seemed not as stiff as Yu's face, and he was not too disappointed with Rick's result in Goethe Fortress.
"Haha, Earl Bodry was joking. This time, Earl Reisel was a little too stingy and insulted the reputation of the nobles. He said he wanted to attack my Black Rock City, but came halfway to attack His Highness Wellesley's Goethe Fortress. He was not what he said before, just wanted to attack me. It was probably his ultimate goal and appetite were quite good!" Rick denied that there was something wrong with him: "Our army is just helping to defend the Goethe Fortress. Always let the soldiers of Heitian come to our fortress. That's not a good thing, what do you think?"
Bodry secretly scolded Rick for being shameless. How could he be so arrogant when he swung his fiancée? However, the meaning of Rick's words also made Bodry feel sad. He didn't have much of an opinion on whether the Black Sky soldiers came to guard the Goethe Fortress. Without hundreds of thousands of Black Sky soldiers to help his benefactor defend, there might not be three princes in three points of Haitian now. However, when Rick said about the appetite for the siege of the siege, Bodry also had some vague guesses. Now sitting face to face with Rick, he wanted to hear what Rick said.
"What do Marquis Rick think about the attack on Goethe Fortress halfway through this siege?"
"Haha, I believe the Earl also had some guesses. For His Highness Wellesley, Goethe Fortress is just a transit city ahead, and it is not too important. However, it faces the Great Wasteland Corridor, and can defend against the attacks of the eldest prince and the second prince. But now our army is stationed at most to gain a larger defense of Rami County, and it does not have much value in use. But if you obtain it by His Highness Jonard, it will be different!"
"Indeed, if Goethe Fortress is missing as a transit in Haofang City, life in the city ahead will be very hard!"
"Is it just a bitter?" Rick smiled and said, "I'm afraid His Highness Wellesley, who does not have too many troops, will have to shrink his troops and abandon his guards? Not only that, under the threat of Goethe City, at least ten cities will become His Highness Jonard's new territory, and the cities that the eldest prince Wycliff will leave will also become His Highness Jonard's next target. The county around the Great Wilderness will become the target of the attacking army because of the fall of Goethe Fortress!"
Shocked! Although Bodry had long realized the importance of Goethe Fortress and had also obtained some instructions from the fourth prince Wellesley from the magical instigation, he only believed that some particularly prominent cities would have the possibility of abandonment. Although other cities were also in an awkward position, they were not without the troops. Now they heard Rick analyze the consequences of Goethe Fortress falling into Prince Jonard in such a detailed analysis, but were shocked on the spot by these possible consequences.
In fact, it was not just Bodri shocked by the consequences. Even Rick only analyzed that the crusade army could attack Chengban County before obtaining Goethe Fortress. It was not until he completely controlled Goethe Fortress that Rick thought of this level. Only then did he realize that the master who created this battle plan was really very attractive. He probably wanted to make up His Highness Jonard's strongest position in Haitian.
As for whether Rice will allow him to attack the initially clamored target Black Rock City, Rick imagines that it is absolutely certain. Once Black Rock City is successfully captured, the depth of the Great Wasteland Corridor will be completely mastered by Jonard. From east to west, from south to north, Jonard will gain the greatest strategic advantage against his two brothers, one without economic support, and the other is to use troops to ruin his reputation from foreign countries. Jonard's dream of becoming the Emperor of Sea will not be far away.
However, if Jonad Mo Ding became Emperor Haitian, Via Black Rock City threw his husband from Rick, Rick would definitely not be the one who slaughtered the neck. Sitting in the same place and waiting for others to take the knife was definitely not the style of the Ushi family.
"But, now Goethe Fortress has been learned to hold it in your hands, Marquis Rick!
Imagine that the crusade army should have gone back with tactfulness when seeing this. Can the Marquis exchange Goethe Fortress for exchange for... "Bordry started to ask Rick for the Goethe Fortress back without blushing. Although this was obviously impossible, he had already received such instructions behind him. Of course, Rick understood this point. Finally, he tricked Goethe Fortress from the fire. How could Rick return him? Especially since the location of Goethe Fortress can separate several forces, and combine them with the Wasteland Fortress to become the guard of Black Rock City. It is not that easy to take it back like this. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
