Chapter 602 (1/2)
Garrod fortress has another name of ”unbreakable gate” in the history of the kingdom of dabion.
In history, the fortress has blocked more than three enemy forces who directly threatened to reach Bion. No matter how difficult the war is, the fortress has never been occupied. Moreover, the most important thing is that Garrod is directly controlled by the dabion royal family. Every commander of Garrod fortress is the most trusted confidant of the current king dabion. Therefore, the so-called conspiracy will not work at all.
If you want to win Garrod fortress, you can only rely on a strong attack.
At that time, yasna only relied on 130000 troops to win the fortress, because there were more than 100000 players supporting at that time, so the real force was more than 230000. But even so, after the war, there were still less than 60000 troops under yasna's command. As for players, 60000 or 70000 people lost more than level 3 or 4. Among them, three of the more famous large guilds in the Principality of lane suffered almost devastating blows.
The war was tragic.
However, in a world with a different history, it is not difficult for yasna to win the fortress.
Because there is a huge gap between the two sides that can no longer be filled: the strong in the holy land.
There are four strong saints on the side of Athena. Even though Moro VII even sent the royal guards to Garrod fortress for reinforcement, in the face of the joint efforts of the four strong saints and more than 200000 troops, including the Dragon tongue army of the boulder family, the Hopson guard of the Hopson family, the thunder front of Athena and Sean's Cecilia guards, There are even Shenguan regiments who believe in the goddess of ice and snow and winter. The combat power of these troops is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. Therefore, there is no suspense about the war to attack Garrod fortress.
From the first day, yasna directly launched a strong attack, and even took advantage of the strength of the holy land to directly suppress the garrison at the top of the wall and open a channel for her troops to climb the wall. In the evening of the first day, the first and second outer walls of Garrod fortress were captured, and the dabion army was forced to fight on the inner wall.
The next war is a sleepless night.
Then at noon the next day, the defense of the three walls of Garrod fortress was completely lost, and the dabion army was forced to turn to the stage of street fighting. By midnight, the royal guards of dabion were almost completely destroyed, but the Holy Land strongmen of the boulder family and the Hopson family were both seriously injured. Fortunately, they were rescued by the Holy Land strongman bode of Florence.
As for the strong man of the Holy Land sent by the Principality of lane to assist yasna, although he killed the General Commander and accompanying guard of Garrod fortress because of his eagerness for merit, he also fell into a heavy siege, and was finally forcibly killed by the fled royal guards and the soldiers of the kingdom of dabion.
But even so, the general trend of the kingdom of dabion has been completely lost, and the fall of Garrod fortress is only a matter of time.
However, yasna obviously had no time to wait. At dawn on the third day, she gave the order to withdraw troops and defend, and then a fire lit the inner city of Garrod fortress. The raging fire burned for three days and gradually went out. It was four days later when the fire went out naturally. At this time, the Garrod fortress was scorched black. In order to prevent being burned to death by the fire, the dabion army had to choose to withdraw from Garrod fortress.
Therefore, if Garrod fortress was captured by Athena in only three days.
But when yasna led her troops to leave Garrod fortress, it was August 21, 1874.
In the kingdom of dabion, after losing Garrod fortress, there are no dangerous places to defend. Almost all the terrain is flat, and even there is no terrain that can be used as defense - unless it is artificially established. Although there are about 100000 troops in the kingdom of dabion, these are private soldiers apportioned to local nobles and urban defense forces under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. Even if they are forcibly recruited and assembled for a time, it is still a problem who will command them.
Moro VII has basically sent out the generals who can command the battle, but now these generals have not sent back any information. Basically, we can imagine what will happen. Therefore, today's dabion has fallen into a dilemma of having soldiers and no generals. Even if Molo VII roared and threw around in the front hall of the palace, and even killed four heads of noble families in one day, no one dared to take the command of the leader.
The end of this war is moving towards an end that is clearly visible to all.
Magic Dragon Ridge is a mountain range across dabion and * * *. It is said that this mountain range is a ridge formed by the keel after the death of magic dragon. Of course, few people believe this legend. But the only certainty is that the settlement of the kingdom of dabion here is indeed a great advantage, because the mountain on the west side of the Magic Dragon Ridge becomes very steep and steep, almost all of them are full of strange stones, and strange fluctuations sweep across from time to time.
Whenever this strange fluctuation sweeps away from the Magic Dragon Ridge, the strong below the middle holy land will temporarily lose their strength, usually lasting for one or two days. Only the strong in the upper holy land can resist this fluctuation, but their strength will be weakened. On the west side of the Magic Dragon Ridge, this fluctuation will become particularly strong. In addition, the mountain is extremely steep. Therefore, if you want to try to cross the Magic Dragon Ridge and attack the king capital of the kingdom of dabion, you might as well directly launch the national troops to attack Garrod fortress.
This is also the real reason why Garrod fortress is known as the last gateway to the capital of dabion, and the kings of * * * Kingdom and dabion kingdom are only separated by a mountain, but they have always been safe. However, if Garrod fortress is broken, the political, economic and power core of the kingdom of dabion will be completely exposed to everyone's eyes and completely lose all the ability to resist.
Of course, if the royal guards of dabion were still there, there might still be a battle, but because of the wrong decision of Moro VII, the last elite army of the kingdom was buried ahead of schedule - although this army did play its due value, causing heavy losses to yasna in the battle of Garrod fortress, and there were only 70000 people left in the army of more than 200000, But it also completely chills the kingdom of dabion.
Therefore, after leaving Garrod fortress, Athena was very arrogant and marched in a straight line towards the king capital of dabion.
On this military route, yasna has to cross two noble territories and two territories directly under the royal family, and the total number of soldiers in these four territories is more than 50000. On yasna's side, there are only three strong saints, two of whom are still seriously injured. If these troops dare to launch a suicide attack and counterattack, Although it is also the end of total annihilation in the end, at least there are only 30000 people left in Athena.
If so, the losses of the war will be more than heavy.
At the very least, the thunder front is bound to become an army that can only appear in historical books. The tequila army and Hopson guard are bound to suffer heavy losses. Maybe Cecilia guards will face the fourth reorganization.
However, it is a pity that after hearing about yasna's march route, these 50000 soldiers chose to avoid and did not dare to resist at all. This made Moro VII angry that he smashed valuables worth more than 100000 gold coins on the same day. The next day, a large number of residents began to flee the city. The people of dabion, who had never paid attention to the Principality of Ryan, finally began to choose to accept their fate.
And their behavior finally completely angered Moro VII, who had completely lost his mind.
The incompetent but eager to become a virtuous King finally angrily ordered the closure of the city, and anyone who dared to disobey would be killed.
On September 2, 1874, a riot finally broke out in the city that had been closed for three days.
