Chapter 1228 Arkas Fortress

At the moment when a large number of enemy troops were discovered, the Border Patrol undoubtedly dispatched the soldier with the best riding skills at the first time, and rushed back to the Arkas Fortress to report at the fastest speed.

Hearing the report, the expressions of the three generals in charge of this frontier fortress all changed.

"The troops are close to 50,000? Are you sure you read it right?!"

"Report to the three generals and confirm that it is correct!"

After getting this answer, Bai Ze, Burigude and Liu Meng all felt a burst of pressure in their hearts.

Inside the Arkas Fortress, only 30,000 troops had been hoarded, among which the cavalry still accounted for a large proportion.

Before I could think about it, the entire fortress suddenly raised an alarm, and at this moment, the dragoon troops of the Europa army had already appeared in the outer area of ​​the Arkas fortress.

"Trouble, there are a lot of cavalry on the opposite side."

At this moment, the faces of Bai Ze and Brigude are not very good-looking.

Originally, although the opponent's troops were superior, the cavalry troops under their command still had the advantage of mobility, and they could fully rely on this to deal with the opponent and consume their troops.

However, this tactic, on the premise that the opponent also has cavalry, is obviously very difficult to work.

Not to mention that due to the previous big move of the Military and Political Department, the cavalry and warhorses equipped to the major fortresses were basically drawn from their side.

In other words, the cavalry strength of the Eastern Territory is already not as good as before.

The number of rangers under Burigude was six thousand, and the number of light cavalry under Bai Ze was five thousand.

Against the dragoons of the Europa army, their strength advantage is not great.

"Go on the order, Arkas Fortress has entered the first-level preparation state!"

Amid the sound of the siren, the soldiers of Arkas Fortress moved quickly.

It is worth mentioning here that, knowing that he would definitely be found fault, Luo Ji had already mobilized a large number of badger and dwarf engineers in advance, and established semi-permanent trenches outside the border fortresses. Outside of the Arkas Fortress, the same is evidently true.

Different from those temporarily dug trenches, every barrier in this trench is made of reinforced concrete, and its defense capability exceeds those temporary trenches by an unknown number of levels, not to mention the quality assurance of the dwarves. It is quite reassuring to say.

At this moment, in the trenches, a large number of garrisoned soldiers are obviously already in place. The cannons on the fort and the roller-mountain guns placed behind the trenches have also been adjusted and can fire at any time.

In the distance, the dragoons of the Europa army did not approach easily, apparently waiting for the main army from the rear to arrive.

Under this premise, Bai Ze and Brigude undoubtedly needed to leave early before the war started completely.

When Luo Ji set up the Arkas Fortress, it can be said that he was very particular about its location. It was almost stuck at an important pass in the Eastern Border. It can be said that it is the only way to enter the civilization of the world. There was a long barbed wire around.

And if you want to bypass this pass, it is estimated to take a month or two, and then you will soon find out that there are also sentry camps of Wanjie Civilization there. Yes, the camp fortresses on this entire border line, There is more than one place at all, but the Arkas Fortress is the one that is most outside.

Now back to the topic, at this time, the fortress of Arkas has already been enclosed by a semi-permanent trench. In other words, there is such a trench there, and the cavalry troops cannot freely enter and exit. This can be said to be a trench One of the downsides of camp is.

In this way, in order to avoid pitting their own people, the cavalry troops on the border have actually been stationed in another hidden camp outside.

Not long after Bai Ze and Brigold quietly left, the Europa army led by Ellen Ballard officially pressed the border.

The army formed by the 50,000 army can be described as quite astonishing. Standing in the Arkas Fortress, Liu Meng is already facing a formidable enemy at this moment.

However, the other party did not seem to be in a hurry to launch an offensive, and they should be observing the structure of their trench camp.

To be honest, at this moment, Ellen Ballard's mood can be said to be worse.

With his many years of experience in the South and the North, he could clearly feel the solidity of that trench just by looking at it.

Ellen Ballard is now wondering if he can get around that trench.

However, according to his observation, I am afraid there is no drama. Looking from a distance, it can be clearly found that the trench fortress is completely stuck at a pass, and that should be the only way to go.

Even if there is another way, I am afraid that it will take a long time to detour, and their attack time limit is only one month, so it is a problem whether they can detour.

If all the limited attack time was spent on detours, it would be too funny, and it might even become an indelible stain on his entire military life.

"Anyway, let's take a look at how many troops the opponent has deployed in this trench..."

Thinking of this, Alan Ballard waved his hand, and the army behind him immediately moved.

He was obviously more confident about the 50,000 army behind him.

The horn of attack soon sounded, and the army began to advance.

Alan Ballard, who was still holding a telescope in his hand, could clearly see that the cannon placed on the fort turret on the opposite side was already adjusting its attack angle. It is estimated that as soon as they entered the range, they would fire directly.

However, this is an unavoidable process, unless the cannon on your side has a farther range than the other side, otherwise, the priority of the cannon to attack is often held by the defender.

Amidst the roar, the cannons on the fortress of Arkas opened fire first.

After the long-term improvement of the Ordnance Research Department, the range of the cannon has been greatly improved, and the heart of Alan Ballard, who is located in the rear, is pumped.

It seems that the range advantage is hopeless, and the range of the cannon on the opposite side is almost the same as theirs...

While giving a quick order to signal their artillery to fight back, the Europa Army's infantry units directly lined up in a phalanx and advanced towards the enemy's trench fortress.

The fire of war was ignited in an instant, and in the hail of bullets, facing the strong firepower suppression of the Europa army, the inferior strength of Arkas Fortress can be said to be exposed in a short period of time.

This is a fact that cannot be concealed at all. Alan Ballard, who realized this, was overjoyed. Even he did not expect that his own military advantage would be so great!

According to this momentum, this battle, he only needs to rely on the strength of the force to push.
