Chapter 1516: Decisive Battle! Mo Fu City! (Part 2)

"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world ()" Find the latest chapter!

Holy Hiran Empire, outside Mofu City, Britannia Army, main formation.

Deng Jiaer is now standing on the watchtower standing in the formation, looking at Mofu City in the distance.

Looking at the tall walls of Mofu City, a sense of irritability suddenly occupied Deng Jiaer's heart.

"Damn it..." Deng Jiaer gritted his teeth bitterly, "How on earth can we capture Mofu City..."

Today is the 10th day since their Britannia army came to Mofu City.

The exploratory attack on Mofu City ended 6 days ago.

In the past six days, the Britannia Army has not taken any new actions and has only quietly surrounded Mofu City.

The reason why no new action was taken against Mofu City was simply because Deng Jiaer really couldn't think of any other attack methods that could be used against Mofu City.

After those four days of tentative attacks, Deng Jiaer's biggest gain was that it was impossible to capture Mofu City by force attack alone.

The walls of Mofu City are very high and thick, and there are many troops stationed in Mofu City.

What's more important is that El personally sits in Mofu City and personally directs the defense of Mofu City.

No matter how fiercely the Britannia army attacked, their attacks could be easily defused by the defenders of Mofu City, leaving Mofu City to remain unmoved.

It has been proven that a strong attack is not feasible, and Deng Jiaer can only think of other methods.

However, after thinking about it for 6 days - Deng Jiaer still had no clue.

In addition to storming, the only effective tactics that can be used in siege warfare are this: sending spies into the city to capture the city from the inside, dig tunnels, and use the terrain to attack, such as water attacks, and fighting with the defenders in the city for soldiers and supplies. war.

The two tactics of sending spies and using terrain were directly rejected by Deng Jiaer.

In fact, there are already many spies from their Britannia army lurking in Mofu City.

However - the security work in Mofu City was so good that the Britannia Army spies in the city were unable to use themselves. The spies could not even get close to the city gate, let alone open the city gate. Something like that.

Using terrain is even more unreliable. The terrain around Mofu City is not easy to use at all.

Not to mention fighting a war of troops and food. Their Britannian army is an army of 300,000 men, and Hiran's army is an army of 10 men.

The Hiran Army is engaged in local operations, while the Britannia Army is engaged in expeditionary operations. The various materials consumed by the two on a daily basis are not of the same order of magnitude.

In a war of troops and supplies with the Hiran Army, the Britannia Army will suffer considerable losses.

The only tactic that was barely feasible was digging tunnels.

Destroy the walls of Mofu City by digging tunnels, or directly attack the interior of Mofu City.

But Deng Jiaer doesn’t think that El, who is currently sitting in Mofu City, will be an opponent who can be defeated by a mere mortal...

Just when Deng Jiaer was standing on the watchtower, scratching his hair in a hurry, Samuel's voice suddenly sounded from under the watchtower.

"Coach!"

"Ah, it's Samuel. What's the matter?"

"Coach, have you thought of any good strategies for attacking the city?"

"No..." Deng Jiaer smiled bitterly, "I have no clue in my mind right now."

"Coach, an envoy from the central government has just arrived at the camp. He has sent you a piece of news... that is not good news."

"Envoy...?" Deng Jiaer's brows suddenly frowned, "What did he say?"

"He said - His Majesty hopes that you can defeat Marshal El Bernard as soon as possible and attack the Holy Hiran Empire as quickly as possible."

After Samuel finished speaking, Deng Jiaer's brows furrowed deeper.

"Strange..." Deng Jiaer muttered, "Why did your Majesty suddenly urge me to send troops..."

Deng Jiaer participated in both the war of annihilation against the Luolin Empire and the war against the Frank Empire.

In these two large-scale battles, Ilsa never urged the generals on the front line what to do.

The generals on the front line have always been allowed to play freely and fight as they like, but Ilsa never asked.

Today's situation where Ilsa sent someone to urge Deng Jiaer to attack quickly was the first time she saw Deng Jiaer.

Anyway - this is not good news.

After all, someone is urging you to do something - especially His Majesty the Emperor is urging you to do something, no matter who it is, you will feel the pressure in your heart suddenly rise.

After sighing silently, Deng Jiaer said:

"...Since there is no way to attack Mofu City, let's try to attack the other two cities. The other two cities may be easier to deal with..."

…

…

"Are you going to start moving again..." Yara muttered dissatisfied. "Where are we going now..."

The decisive battle with the Holy Hiran Empire - such an important battle, it is natural that the Delan Undead Army cannot miss it.

Just now, a new military order was delivered to the military camp of the Delan Undead Army: ordering the Delan Undead Army to follow the large army and leave here.

I didn’t say where I was going.

"I guess..." Darlene on the side agreed, "We should be sent to attack the other two cities around Mofu City."

"Alas..." Yara let out a long sigh, "It's so annoying... The country has been fighting for years... Has it ever considered the feelings of us ordinary soldiers... We are all... physically and mentally exhausted. Already..."

……

……

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.

In the huge study, there were only Ilsa and Camille.

Camille stood respectfully in front of the table, while Ilsa frowned and carefully looked through a large stack of papers filled with various words in her hand.

Camille silently waited for Ilsa to finish reading the report she had just delivered.

Camille spoke only after Elsa put down the report in her hand:

"Your Majesty... the ratio of food output to consumption... is even more pessimistic than expected..."

"...Send a message to the western plantations." Elsa said in a deep voice, "There is no need to have any pity, even if the indigenous people of the New World are completely squeezed dry!"

"Your Majesty..." Camille sighed lightly, "The major plantation owners in the western plantations have already squeezed the indigenous people to the limit."

"If we go further, not only will there be no way to increase food production, but it will lead to large-scale deaths of these captured indigenous people of the New World..."

"...Then levy taxes!" Elsa said in a decisive tone, "Increase taxes on citizens! Camille! Arrange a meeting immediately, I want to discuss in detail with the ministers how to increase taxes to a reasonable range!"

"Yes!"

"And - help me send another message to Deng Jiaer! Let her fight quickly and decisively!"

"Yes!"
