Mage Veigar

Chapter 285 Follow me like a shadow
Time comes on the third day.

During these three days, Vega established a defense line and arranged ambushes in the canyon. All the preparations for the blocking battle were ready. Now all that was needed was for the 3th Division Commander Garru to launch an attack on Saya City.

As long as the 4th Division Commander Garru takes action.

The Kingdom reinforcements from the two cities of Ed and Tali will definitely be dispatched to reinforce Saye City as soon as possible. At this time, Vega and the Dynasty Army will need to fight to the death to delay the Kingdom Army's reinforcements.

According to the plan, the first three days are preparation time for each unit.

Garru will launch a fierce attack on Saya Castle during the day on the third day. Given the distance of three cities, the letter for assistance will probably reach the divisions in the two cities in one day. In other words, the reinforcements of the Kingdom Army will be dispatched on the fourth day.

"attack."

With Garru's order, the war officially began.

Although this was the era of cold weapons, there was not a single method used to attack cities in conventional siege warfare.

Apart from the more primitive siege methods such as ladders, siege vehicles, catapults... the real highlight is the use of advanced military forces and war airships.

First are magicians and professionals.

Above, professionals were climbing up the city walls and killing people wantonly, while below, horrific elemental magic was tearing the city gates apart.

But it should be noted that this does not mean that the large attacking force can directly enter the city through the city gate. The overwhelming magic can suppress the ordinary soldiers so that they cannot raise their heads.

Therefore, if you want to enter the city gate, you basically need to climb over the pile of corpses.

Fortunately, since the enemy lacks air forces, the war airships can bomb the defending troops with impunity, blocking the support lines in the city and providing corresponding cover for the ground forces.

You have a ladder to climb over the wall, but I have a plan.

Although the attackers have many methods, the defenders also have corresponding plans.

As long as a large number of elemental mages are deployed at the city gate, their magic will make you pay a huge price for every meter you move forward. The professionals on the city wall will not show any mercy to the soldiers and professionals who attempt to climb up the city wall.

War airships can provide air support.

But as long as they descend to a certain height, it is entirely possible that they will be shot down by wind magicians, which also eliminates the possibility of Garru's air force airlifting soldiers into the city.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was evenly matched.

The war lasted until the evening when both sides temporarily ceased fighting. At this time, the commander of the 4th Division regretted being praised by Vega and took on the task without hesitation.

He originally thought that with the presence of the air force, attacking the city would be a piece of cake.

However, the stubborn resistance of the Kingdom Army and the weakening morale of his own troops were beyond his expectations. This was only because of the air force that they could fight the Kingdom on equal terms. If they didn't have the air force...

Not to mention that Garru regretted his arrogant behavior.

The army of the Kingdom of Shaye City was also shocked by Garru's attack. The intensity of this attack was not at the same level as the troops of the Holy Dynasty. In particular, the presence of the aviation force made the commander of the Kingdom Army feel extremely insecure. In order to be on the safe side, the commander of the Kingdom Army of Shaye City immediately sent a letter for help to the two cities of Ed and Tali.

The letter for help was delivered quickly.

Therefore, on the fourth day, the city of Aide sent all its air forces and two brigades of the army to reinforce the city of Saya, but they were desperately blocked by the Dynasty Army on the way.

The Dynasty Army, which was despised by Vega, showed unprecedented courage. On a flat battlefield, they risked their lives and braved the bombing of war airships to drive two brigades back to Ed City, which surprised the Kingdom Army.

When did the Dynasty Army become so desperate?
However, the Kingdom Army did not give up on reinforcing Saya Castle. Although it seemed that they were driven back into the city, the Kingdom Army suffered the real heavy losses. Within 15 days, they would be able to defeat the two divisions of the Dynasty.

at the same time.

The reinforcements from the Kingdom of Tully City, which Vega was responsible for blocking, have also been dispatched.

They were marching towards the Tully Canyon at a rapid pace, and they would probably reach the first line of defense set up by Vega tonight. A tough battle was about to begin.

"How far is it to Tully Canyon?"

The commander of the 13rd Airborne Division of the Kingdom's th Army, Ingrir, looked up at the dazzling winter sun. Today was a rare good day, so he asked his adjutant if such weather allowed him to march for a long time.

"Report to the commander, there is still half a day."

The adjutant said hesitantly, "But I don't recommend that you enter the Tully Canyon in the evening. I suspect that there are enemy troops ambushing in the canyon. We will inevitably lose a large number of troops."

"Oh? In your opinion..."

"My personal suggestion is that we set up camp outside today and wait until tomorrow morning to enter the canyon. If we do it during the day, even if we are ambushed, we can minimize the losses and take corresponding countermeasures."

"Hahaha, this is indeed a safe plan."

Yinglier showed a disdainful expression on his face: "But, you think too highly of the Dynasty Army or the Imperial Army. Since I was transferred to the Eastern Front of the Dynasty, I can be said to be invincible, whether facing the Imperial Army or the Dynasty Army. I know the command ability of those An Yi poultry very well. If they dare to ambush, they will never return."

Showing a bloodthirsty smile.

Yinglier spoke slowly, "Adjutant, in my eyes, the war here is nothing compared to the battle on the northern front of the empire. You have never been chased by a million-strong army and fled in a panic. You have never seen what it means to have the whole city be the enemy and the whole people be soldiers. You don't even know what it means to use troops like a god."

There was a nostalgic look in his eyes.

Ingrid exhaled slowly and sighed, "Compared to that little devil, the poultry here are as funny as a clown telling a bad joke."

It used to be difficult for the sea.

How could Ingrir, the former commander of the 1st Airborne Division of the Kingdom's First Army, who had been played around and abused by Vega in the north of the empire to the point that he began to doubt whether he was fit for war, and now the commander of the 13rd Airborne Division of the 3th Army, take these troops in the east seriously?

need to know.

In order to avoid meeting Vega, he later applied for a transfer to the East, and has remained undefeated ever since.

Whether facing the Imperial Army or the Dynasty Army, he could rely on his excellent command level to make the opponent unable to take care of themselves, especially in the use of geographical advantages and people's hearts, he has learned 3% of Vega's level.

"Perhaps this is the feeling of loneliness of a master."

Having regained his confidence in war, Ingrid was quite pleased with himself, and ordered the entire army to advance directly to the Grand Canyon without stopping.
