Chapter 21 Solutions to Difficulties
The Isaac Kingdom army and the sea army launched a shocking battle in the border area.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors from the two tribes, and high-level powerful men fought life and death on the battlefield.
The Isaac army relied on several times the number of people to launch a fierce attack on the sea clan army. The sea clan soldiers fought to the death and even drove the sea monsters to launch a counterattack on the human army.
Under the orders of His Majesty King Strech, the human army also fought to the death, using the lives of warriors to consume the stronger sea tribe.
What's more, there are individual Knights of Light, which is almost as powerful as the sea tribe in the army. The 30,000 Knights of Light charges with the blessing of the Light Battle Formation, and their fanatical beliefs make them not afraid of life and death.
The powerful sea clan army also shattered under the impact of the Knights of Light.
The turning point of the victory or defeat of the war first appeared in the duel between the high-level powerful men of the two clans. The leader of the Knight of Light, the captain of the Strech's guard Gondor and the commander of the Fire Legion, the commander of the Sea Clan, the commander of the Shark Tiger.
No matter how strong the Shark Tiger is, it cannot withstand the siege of the three peak warriors of the human race. She was seriously injured and was rescued by her generals.
The commander of the Sea Clan lost the army below and was unable to support it, so he soon collapsed under the storm of the human army. The Isaac army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill the sea soldiers all over the field.
At the battle of Isaac's border, 50,000 sea soldiers crossed the battlefield.
This crucial battle also directly affected the trend of the subsequent war between the two tribes.
The first is that the morale of the human army was greatly improved. In this battle, Isaac defeated the sea army head-on with the power of a country, completely breaking the myth of the invincible sea army.
Then, with this battle as a symbol, the sea clan army changed its previous aggressive offensive posture and was forced to start taking a defensive stance.
In the territory of the Rock Kingdom, the sea tribe army began to be short of its strength. They voluntarily withdrew from the southern blockbuster occupied areas, reduced their forces to retreat to the northern area centered on Rock Kingdom City. Only when the Norman army urgently transferred a legion to support it prevented the Isaac army from continuing to counterattack.
The original Locke Kingdom is now divided into two parts, the southern region is occupied by Isaac, and the northern region is still under the rule of the sea tribe. However, the offensive and defensive momentum on the battlefield has become that the sea tribe army must always defend against Isaac's attack.
This battlefield pattern has brought another change, that is, the Locke Remnants and Isaac Cavalry who broke through Heluochuan were completely cut off from the route of return. In this regard, the mentality of the two troops is different.
General Tianlu was furious when he learned that his army was actually being bait for the scattered sea tribe forces by Strech and immediately gave up his decision to lead his troops to Isaac.
Although Isaac's cavalry regiments were equally angry, they dared not speak out. After all, their territory and hometown were all within the kingdom, and merging with the kingdom army was still the primary choice for Isaac's army. However, it was almost impossible to break through the obstruction of the sea clan army. Although the main forces of the cavalry regiments in Heluochuan were retained, most of the mounts were swept away by the flood. Except for the Blue Ape, Isaac's cavalry regiments became infantry.
Without the speed and mobility of the cavalry, Isaac's army was even more unlikely to break through the interception of the sea clan army, and could not even implement wolf pack tactics to guerrilla and harass the sea clan army. They could only be forced to continue to move to the north with the already disagreeing Locke army.
......
In the Isaac military camp, inside a slightly simple military tent, Jennings looked at Arthur and Aretha beside him with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Jennings is about 40 years old, with sword-browed eyebrows and tiger-eyed eyes, and a face shape that is 70 to 80% similar to Cairns, who has a shaved beard, but his figure is thin.
As a core member of the family, Jennings naturally knew the relationship between Arthur and Cairns. As for Aretha, when he saw the long blue hair, he instantly guessed Aretha's identity.
Although they were in the same army, Arthur had never looked for him these days since the breakout of Heluochuan. Today, Jennings was a little surprised.
"When Heluochuan was fighting that day, thanks to Earl Arthur's trick, I have already paid the detailed battle situation and the Count's great achievements to His Majesty the King. After the troops return to the kingdom, His Majesty the King will be rewarded." Jennings took the initiative to resolve the slightly awkward atmosphere in the camp.
Arthur looked at Jennings with a smile, "Does the Marquis think our team will be returned?"
Jennings's face darkened, "How can the general lose morale first? The current dilemma is just a temporary situation. I believe that it will not take long for His Majesty to lead his army to defeat the sea tribe's defense line and achieve the reunion of the two armies."
"The army's rations are almost over? I saw that many cavalry regiments have begun to kill horses and cook meat. What plans are the marquis planning before His Majesty the King leads his army to defeat the sea tribe's defense line? Should we rush the troops to grab the grain or have a channel to buy grain?"
Arthur pointed at the key point with a word, and Jennings didn't know how to reply in an instant.
There were nearly 50,000 Isaac soldiers who broke through Heluochuan, and they consumed as much as 70 to 80 tons of food every day. After being cut off from the Isaac army, all logistics supplies were cut off. The food carried by each soldier on the horse's back had already been eaten up.
The Locke army led by General Tianlu was in a better condition than Isaac's side, because it was his own army, and he could barely buy some food from local nobles and town merchants on the march.
As for Isaac's army, many local nobles and merchants fled. If they were not placed on their necks, they would not have sold food to them. The food source problem was Jennings' most troublesome problem now.
Arthur continued to ask: "The food is not a dead end. We are so hungry that we can still steal the local people. Anyway, they don't have any good feelings for our Isaac army. What about the sea clan? The sea clan will sit and watch an Isaac army of such a size wander around the area behind them. After losing most of the mounts, how long does the Marquis think we can still deal with the sea clan army?"
Jennings, who had been staring at Arthur, suddenly laughed, "Earl Arthur has such a thorough understanding of our army's plight. There must be a way out, right?"
Jennings is also a smart person. He seems to have guessed that Arthur came to see him specifically.
Arthur did not hide this, "I came to find the Marquis because I couldn't bear to die in a foreign land with my 50,000 soldiers in Isaac, and wanted to show the army a way out."
Jennings solemnly said: "Prince, please speak, the 50,000 soldiers outside the tent will remember the Count's righteousness."
"I was ordered to destroy the Huyaqiu Fortress connecting the northern part of Rock and the imperial capital Gyeonggi region. From time to time, the sea clan must not have time to repair the fortress here. I suggest that the Marquis lead his army to the imperial capital Gyeonggi region to hide. The sea clan is newly defeated and will never invade Alantis again."
After hearing this, Jennings shook his head repeatedly, "The Earl's plan is not feasible. You should know the attitude of the imperial family towards us Isaac. If you lead the army to the imperial capital, it would be like jumping from the tiger's den to the wolf's den?"
