1476 Chapter 1477: Gun Tower
The main city of Valencia was completely abandoned, and all the nobles and lords turned to the ground, mountains, rivers and forests, and started guerrilla warfare with the unified army.
It really made them slow down the offensive of the United Army.
The Royal Palace of Valencia.
Gao Wen looked at the city that had been evacuated, and looked at Artoria speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
"Are all Valencians mentally ill?"
Artoria just glanced at it before deciding to return to Huon Fortress.
"I leave it to you here. The enemy's methods are too disgusting. They never fight head-on. They use the terrain to sneak attack on us. They run away after hitting, but they can't catch up."
The terrain of the central plain is indeed mostly plains, and there are also many mountains and forests, plus invisibility magic and enchantments. Unless a carpet search is carried out, it will be too difficult to catch these mice.
Gao Wen said: "The federal army has already attacked, and Kruzer has sent out a request for help."
Artoria thought for a while and said, "What's your plan?"
Gao Wen said: "Kruse has already consolidated the defense line on the border. My original intention is to replace the original infantry division of the Fourth Army with the armored division and the mechanized division."
Arturia immediately understood Gawain's plan.
Valencia moved most of the people out of the main city, and the people who stayed in the main city were not even half of what they were at their peak. In addition, the Valencia army fought guerrilla warfare everywhere, and the main city and important towns had to garrison troops. Millions of troops It looks like a lot, distributed to various places, and it is a bit stretched.
Arturia asked: "Are there enough people?"
Gao Wen smiled and said, "That's enough, there's still the Emperor's Alliance Army!"
Arturia returned to Fortress Huon, and looked at the battle reports from various places. She was really disgusted by the guerrilla warfare of the Valencia Army.
After taking Huon Fortress, Artoria immediately built a teleportation formation, and her second army also quickly built a defense line, greatly reducing the pressure on Gawain's defense zone.
The Second Army is not only to assist the First Army, but also to defend the Langebel Kingdom in Poland.
She didn't think Wintersey's Polish Revolutionary Army could hold back the Langebel Kingdom's attack.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is coming."
Yadong knocked on the door and said.
Artoria's eyes lit up immediately, and she knew that Aslan should have come for the situation that could not be opened for a long time.
"Honey, you're here."
Artoria took the initiative to hug Aslan.
Aslan patted Arturia on the back.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Artoria took Aslan back to the command room, looked at the map of Valencia, explained the situation in detail, and said frowningly: "This is the situation we are going to face now."
Aslan rested his chin in thought.
Aslan suddenly asked: "How many magisters are there in the Valencia army?"
Arturia blurted out: "Twenty-seven magisters! There are no great magisters."
The existence of the Magister, which is similar to a strategic weapon, will definitely be focused on.
Aslan began to make gestures on the map, and then made a decision.
"We build gun towers!"
"Blockhouse?" Arturia looked at Aslan suspiciously.
"Building artillery towers has an advantage for our army. The Valencia guerrillas are fierce and harassed our army. Building artillery towers can prevent guerrillas from attacking frequently. It is a very effective means of defense and offense."
"After you have a gun tower, you can arrange a few more cannons on it to increase the combat diameter. Building a gun tower tens of kilometers can greatly compress the enemy's trajectory."
Arturia's eyes brightened as she listened.
"The Valencian army can blow up the gun towers!"
Aslan said with a smile: "Then you will think highly of the Valencian army. The conditions for the Valencian army fighting guerrillas are very difficult. Without supplies in towns, it means that they cannot operate on a large scale, and their weapons and equipment are also very difficult." They are very backward, these teams basically don’t even have artillery, and we can only rely on magicians for long-range and powerful attacks. As long as we work harder on defense, they can only use human lives to break through.”
Artoria suddenly realized and said: "Arrange one or two instructor-level guards between several gun towers. Even if the Valencia army dispatches a magister, they must weigh the consequences of their actions."
Aslan replied: "That's right, as long as the gun towers can be built, in addition to reducing the scope of activities of the Valencian Army, we will also tighten the management and control of the villages around the main city, increasing the supply pressure of the Valencian Army." .”
Without urban supplies, it will be more difficult for the Valencia Army to supply ammunition and general supplies. If they lose villages and towns, they will be completely alone.
As long as the Valencian army is dominated by noble officers, it is impossible for them to get sincere help from the people. As long as they increase the publicity of the failure of the Valencian army, in order to be able to live in the new country, the people will naturally keep a distance from it.
The Valencia Army is not the army admired by all people in the history of the earth, and the Melox Empire is not a corrupt country that everyone shouts to fight.
"If you dare to fight guerrilla warfare without a mass base, you will seek your own death."
Arturia's new order had just been issued, and immediately thousands of people were summoned to build the gun tower.
It is really that the salary given by the United Army is too high, and there are two meals included, which is much better than working for the former noble master.
The only pity for them is that so few laborers are needed.
The original Imperial Association Army was mostly composed of local ruffians. After these people put on new skins, they began to pretend to be powerful and domineering in various places. Going too far, they also turned a blind eye and closed one eye, and finally triggered a conflict and a large-scale fighting broke out.
In the end, the garrison was alarmed to suppress it, and was finally stopped by Mordred who was passing by.
Under the mediation of Mordred, each played 50 big boards. One of the youths who participated in the fighting recognized Mordred. His family ran a Valencia specialty food stall, and Mordred went there every now and then.
The young man was also very straightforward and asked to join the Imperial Association Army, saying that he would definitely be able to do better than these local hooligans.
After going back and forth, Mordred also agreed to recruit the peasants from Valencia to join the Imperial Association Army.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there must be resistance.
They were bullied by nobles and lords in the past, and they couldn't resist it, but now it's the turn of these local hooligans to bully them, so naturally they can't bear it.
Today, the Imperial Association Army is divided into two parts, one is the security regiment, which is mainly composed of local ruffians, and the other is the security army, which is composed of Valencia farm children.
The two armies have just been established, and there have been constant conflicts. However, both sides are now soldiers, and they dare not break out in large-scale fighting. They can only compete for strength in training and combat.
