Mage Veigar

Chapter 324: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
According to the statistics.

There are currently 20,000 soldiers remaining in Vega's headquarters.

These include 10 war airships, a mage squadron, two professional battalions and other high-level forces.

In addition, the reassembled dynasty professional soldiers exceeded a standard regiment, including a professional squadron, 5 mages, and the rest were ordinary soldiers.

The above are professional soldiers who can be deployed to the battlefield at any time, totaling about 21600 people.

In addition to these veterans, there are also the latest recruits.

Under the brainwashing of the navy, these recruits volunteered to join the dynasty army and vowed to recover the dynasty's lost territory in the east under the leadership of Vega.

The number of new recruits exceeds that of old soldiers in all aspects.

Based on the pressure of logistics supply, Vega finally carefully selected 5 people to form a new army. Since this army was formed in Holy Light City, Vega named it Holy Light Army to increase everyone's sense of belonging.

But unfortunately, this is not a force that can be used in war.

If you want to make a troop combat-ready, you don't just give them a number, let them wear uniforms, pick up weapons, and then use them to capture cities and territories.

Military training is the only way to build combat effectiveness.

An army without discipline and execution cannot defeat an ordinary army no matter how high its combat effectiveness is. Therefore, it takes at least half a year of training for these new recruits to be ready for combat.

Forming a navy is also a plan for the future.

When the defense system of Saint Laurent City is in hand, this mature naval operation method will be highlighted. At that time, the brainwashing and public opinion bombardment of the navy can be fully utilized to obtain a steady supply of manpower.

Let’s not talk about the future for now, the key is now.

Now three days have passed, which means that Vega must capture Saint Laurent City within four days, otherwise his plan will face unpredictable risks. But can this be done in four days?
Perhaps three days ago, Vega really had no idea.

But today, after Vega formed the Holy Light Army and the navy, he did vaguely touch the edge.

Of course, this margin is not a conventional siege battle.

If a conventional war is used to attack Saint Laurent City, it will be impossible to capture Saint Laurent City within a year or two, so Vega is still prepared to seize Saint Laurent by outsmarting it.

How to outsmart?

Having only seen the tip of the iceberg, he was indeed unable to form a complete tactical report.

Therefore, he met with the reconnaissance team that had just returned to Shenghui City.

That’s right. During these three days, Vega not only carried out propaganda tactics in Shenghui City. As early as when he just occupied Shenghui City, Vega sent out reconnaissance troops to conduct intelligence work in several cities including Saint Laurent City.

After all, in war, intelligence is always above all else.

"Report to the brigade commander."

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion spoke clearly: "According to the reports from several reconnaissance units of our department, Saint Laurent City and satellite cities such as Twilight, Half Moon, and Saya have now entered a state of high alert."

"in."

"The gates of the three cities of Saya, Twilight, and Half Moon have been closed, and entry and exit are completely prohibited."

"also."

"Although Saint Laurent City has not directly closed the city gates, it allows people to enter but not leave. In addition, only caravans are allowed to enter, and no civilians are allowed to enter or leave without permission."

Vega was not surprised to hear this information.

All of this was indeed within his expectations. After all, the fall of Shenghui City had already sounded the alarm for them, so he continued to ask: "In the port city, what is the movement of the main force of the Kingdom Army?"

"No news yet, but a reconnaissance team has been dispatched."

Vega nodded. After all, the port city was far away, and it would take a month and ten days for a large army to march there. Even if a single person was the fastest, it would take at least half a month to make a round trip.

"Go down."

Vega asked the commander of the reconnaissance battalion to leave the office. He locked himself in the office, pacing back and forth, and began to sort out his thoughts.

It is now known that Saint Laurent has a garrison of 1.3 troops, and each of the other satellite cities has a standard brigade of 6000 men stationed there.

With Vega's troops, it is 100% impossible for them to enter the city through a frontal battle, but by targeting other satellite cities, they can still pose a certain degree of threat to them.

However, the enemy has control of the Saint Laurent defense system.

Once Vega attacks a satellite city, Saint Laurent and other satellite cities can come to support him within 1-2 days, and he will have a % chance of being defeated. This is the terrifying aspect of the defense system.

and many more!

When pushing his thoughts step by step to this point, Vega discovered the key point.

"The support speed is amazing."

"The support speed is amazingly fast!"

Vega whispered excitedly twice.

Or in the eyes of ordinary officers, the enemy's support speed is too fast, which is a huge problem. This situation often leads to the attack encountering an iron wall in any direction, and ultimately failing.

But in Vega's view, there is no absolute good or evil in the world.

Based on the fact that everything has its pros and cons, the enemy's too fast support speed also has its negative factors, but this negative impact is hidden deeper and cannot be discovered by ordinary people.

Vega obviously discovered the key point.

If the enemy's support speed is too fast, why not use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain?

It's the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!

Vega finally saw the full picture of the iceberg in his mind. He could use the tens of thousands of new recruits in his hands to feint an attack on Twilight City. The Kingdom Army would not just watch the satellite city fall.

If the enemy is confident in the speed of their support, they will certainly draw troops from Saint Laurent City to provide support. At that time, Vega can completely let the main force take advantage of the emptiness of Saint Laurent City to secure victory in one fell swoop.

This is the only solution Vega could think of after considering the enemy's situation and his own military strength.

How high is the success rate?

This time, Vega is confident that the success rate of his plan is as high as 90%.

Why are you so confident?

Tens of thousands of troops attacked Twilight City. Whether for the sake of justice or tactics, the defenders of Saint Laurent would never watch Twilight City fall. If they did not save Twilight City, it would be the responsibility of the Saint Laurent commander afterwards.

Therefore, Vega was confident that he would win this battle.

Easier said than done. Although it seems that the operation is not too difficult, isn’t it just a simple matter of tricking the enemy out of Saint Laurent?
But you need to know that the tricks involved are extremely complicated.

First of all.

Vega needs a force to feint an attack on Twilight City. Vega has temporarily decided to use the Holy Light Legion as the force. However, it is still unclear whether this legion of new recruits will reveal their true colors, after all, they are disorganized and undisciplined.

Second.

Vega's main force must be concealed and attack quickly. If it is blocked outside the city of Saint Laurent for a day and a night, the man-eating tiger of the Kingdom Army will turn around at any time and encircle his main force.

At last.

This is the most difficult point.

Even if we have to use all means, we must ensure that the Kingdom Army feels the huge crisis.

If there is not enough sense of crisis, Twilight City will probably not ask other cities for help. Even if it really asks for help, the defenders of cities like Saint Laurent will probably not come out in full force.

If this last point is not true, then everything is just a joke.
