Chapter 735: Recapture of Muhawiec Fortress (Part 2)
General Dong's early attack caused the supply line of Xilan's army to collapse instantly.
Although the entire supply line has barely resumed operation under the diligent calculation and deployment of elite quartermasters, to this day, the frontline army in the Eghar Corridor has still not received sufficient winter war equipment.
Until now, there are still about 50,000 generals who have not received their winter war equipment.
Muhawicz Fortress has fallen, and no more winter war equipment will be delivered.
The 50,000 generals who have not yet obtained winter war equipment can only shiver in their tents and cannot be pulled out to fight at all.
There were originally 270,000 frontline troops in the Eghal Corridor, but now minus the 50,000 soldiers without winter fighting equipment, there are only 220,000 combatable troops left.
Moreover, these 50,000 soldiers who have not received winter war equipment are still a factor of instability in the army.
Everyone else has winter fighting equipment, but you don’t. What would you think if it were you?
Therefore, these 50,000 soldiers who have not received winter war equipment are very likely to trigger riots out of dissatisfaction.
In order to avoid this possible riot, Dominic ordered the 50,000 soldiers who had not received winter war equipment to be centralized and guarded. If a riot did occur, it would be easier to suppress it in time.
…
…
The messenger brought Dominic's order to the 170,000 troops who were still at the forefront.
The temporary commander of this 170,000-strong army, who is also the deputy commander of this expeditionary army - Marshal Lev Veselov, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front of the Holy Hiran Empire, did not dare to neglect after receiving Dominic's order and immediately took command. This 170,000-strong army took all the supplies and siege equipment and headed north to join forces with Dominic, preparing to start a battle to retake the Muhawicz Fortress.
When evacuating the front line and heading north, Marshal Lev Veselov did not forget to leave a force behind to prevent possible pursuit by the defenders in Avalon Fortress.
…
…
As early as a few days ago, Su Cheng, who was sitting in the Avalon Fortress, noticed something strange about the Xilan army outside the wall.
A few days ago, Su Cheng noticed that the amount of smoke from Xilan's army outside the Great Wall was much less.
Almost half missing.
A few days later, that is, today, all the Xilan army outside the wall retreated northward and withdrew from the confrontation with Avalon Fortress.
"Everyone...well done."
Standing on the inner wall of Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng looked at Xilan's army slowly retreating north, while suppressing the laughter that didn't need to come up, so that he wouldn't laugh out of control because of being too excited.
A few days ago, nearly half of the smoke from the kitchen was reduced, and today the entire army retreated north. Based on these two points alone, Su Cheng guessed what happened.
Su Cheng speculated that the cross-sea surprise attack was successful! The Muhawicz Fortress must have been captured!
The reason why the smoke from Sheeran’s army in the Eghar Corridor was reduced by half a few days ago was because
It must be because at that time, Dominic received news that the Britannia army had landed from their rear, so they quickly detached part of their troops to go north to support the Muhavic Fortress.
The reason why the entire army retreated north today and no longer confronted the Avalon Fortress must be because the army that rushed back to support the Muhavic Fortress had not yet returned to the fortress, and the Muhawicz Fortress was surrendered by Willy. He led his army to break through.
The fall of the Mukhavec Fortress meant that the supply line was cut off, so it was necessary to quickly return to recapture the Mukhavec Fortress.
So Dominic asked the army still on the front line to end the confrontation with the Avalon Fortress, mobilize all the army's combat power, and prepare to recapture the Muhawicz Fortress.
The details of the facts are almost exactly the same as Su Cheng's speculation.
A homing pigeon that flew in later confirmed Su Cheng's suspicion.
This homing pigeon was released from the Muhawicz Fortress, that is, Willy and his friends.
This carrier pigeon flew back to the Avalon Fortress. The paper in the mailbox on its leg only wrote one simple line - the battle was successful and the fortress has fallen.
Generally speaking, the military will not use carrier pigeons to convey military information unless absolutely necessary.
Because the carrier pigeon is not guaranteed to fly back to its nest successfully, and if the carrier pigeon is used to convey military information, it is very likely that the enemy will capture the carrier pigeon, which will lead to the leakage of military information.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the army will not use carrier pigeons to convey military information, but will only use messengers to convey military information.
And now—it’s time to use carrier pigeons to convey military information.
There was no other way to send a message from the Muhawicz Fortress to the Avalon Fortress except by using carrier pigeons.
You can't let a messenger ride back to Clear Water Port, then take a boat back to Lot Port, and then go east from Lot Port back to Avalon Fortress, right?
Let’s not talk about whether this messenger has the ability to safely walk the more than 400 miles of enemy territory from Muhawicz Fortress to Bishui Port. Just waiting for this messenger to return to Avalon Fortress may affect the nearly 300,000 soldiers. The Xilan Army's encirclement and annihilation battle is almost over.
Using carrier pigeons to inform Su Cheng in the Avalon Fortress that the Muhawicz Fortress had fallen became the only option under the current situation.
Anyway, this news is not some confidential military information that cannot be known by the enemy. The nearly 300,000 troops in the Eghar Corridor have long known that the Muhawicz Fortress has fallen, so it doesn't matter even if they capture the carrier pigeon. ,
Because the homing pigeons may not be 100% able to return to their home nest, in order to ensure that Su Cheng knew that the Muhawicz Fortress had fallen, Willy released five homing pigeons at once.
They were lucky, and the five pigeons all flew back to the Avalon Fortress safely.
The letters in the mailboxes on the legs of the five pigeons all had the same content written on them -
The battle was successful, and the fortress has been captured.
Although the words written inside were simple, after seeing this sentence, Su Cheng's body couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.
"Messenger." Su Cheng called the messenger beside him.
"Here!"
"Go to Baidi City and inform Mr. Humphrey of the Northern General Administration - the battle was successful! Our army has successfully surrounded 300,000 Hiran troops! 300,000 Hiran troops have been completely blocked in the Aighar Corridor!"
"Yes!"
Although the 300,000 troops were only blocked in the Aighar Corridor and had not been completely annihilated, the overall situation has been decided!
The Muhavitz Fortress was a fortress built by the Holy Hiran Empire in the north of the Aighar Corridor to guard against the Britannia Empire.
Although it is not as good as the Avalon Fortress, it is still the first-class strong city pass on the continent!
The troops that captured the Muhavitz Fortress were nearly 80,000.
Used nearly 300,000 troops to attack the Muhavitz Fortress, which was garrisoned by 80,000 troops, and successfully captured it before the supplies were exhausted.
Even if Su Cheng was asked to do this, Su Cheng did not think he could do it.
Unless a miracle happened, the Muhavitz Fortress would never be recaptured.
The overall situation has been determined! The nearly 300,000 Hiran troops are destined to be destroyed in this Aighar Corridor!
