Midgard is the hub linking the north and south of Wilnoa, and it is also the seat of the Continental Congress.

Count Winthrop was optimistic that if he could capture Midgard and ban the "Continental Conference," this tumultuous independence revolution would surely go to a low ebb.

At that time, Earl Winthrop can lead his troops to turn north, and cooperate with General Cornwalli’s forces to attack the Continental Army and annihilate it in the Purple Shirt Valley. If he goes south, he can conquer Alfheim and bring the entire Wilnoa down. The East Coast is in the bag!

As we all know, Midgard City is located near the estuary of the Vimur River, adjacent to the Vigrid Plain on the west, and Asa Bay on the east, connected to Minute Island by a sea bridge.

If the Feizhen Legion initiates an offensive from the land, it must first go south along the Vimur River through the "Iron Forest", and then attack the heavily guarded "Linyuan Fort" fortress guarding the mouth of the river before attacking Midgar from the west. Decheng.

This route was actually the marching route of the Fijian Army during the "Mineral Vein War" in 1622. At that time, General Laval set up an ambush at the mouth of the river, causing great casualties to the Fijian troops going south by boat. Brood.

Attacking Midgard from land is too difficult, but fortunately, there is another easier option, which is to take the waterway and sail south along the east coast of the New World.

This entry route has two advantages.

One is that there is no need to cross the "Iron Forest" where monsters are rampant and controlled by the "primitive cult", lest the old witch Angel Poda suddenly turns over and intercepts the marching Feizhen troops halfway.

The second is that there is no need to attack Linyuan Fort, bypassing this strong fortress that is the only way to advance on land, making it useless.

Considering the unpredictable sea turbulence and the possibility of encountering enemy ships, tens of thousands of troops going out to sea by ship is actually very risky, but for Feizhen, the recognized "sea hegemon" in the world of Vales, this is not a big deal. thing!

The fleet led by William Howe has firmly controlled the sea dominance on the east coast of the New World. It is not a problem to **** the troop carriers. After escorting the army ashore, the naval fleet can also move into the Bay of Asa, shelling Midgard, and cooperate with the army. Easily capture this most prosperous port city on the East Coast.

This is the plan for the southward operation planned by Governor Winthrop and his generals.

As it was, the battle plan of Fei Zhenren had just been communicated to the middle-level officers, and the "Son of Liberty" who was messing around in the city of New Avalon got a copy, and hurriedly sent it to the town of Italil where the Continental Army headquarters is located, and submitted it to Vasa Commander-in-chief.

The Continental Army is inferior to Fiji's real regular army in every way, but in the area of ​​"intelligence", it seems to have opened its "eyes of the sky", which is very stable.

Unfortunately, intelligence is good, but it cannot make up the gap in hard power.

As soon as he received the news, George Vassar realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately appointed General Gates to Midgard to inspect the defense.

Two days later, General Gates returned from inspection and said frankly to His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief: "Midgard cannot be held!"

The reason for the inability to defend is actually very simple. The Continental Army does not have a sufficiently powerful fleet to prevent the Fijian naval fleet from entering the Gulf of Asa.

After all, Midgard is a port city facing the sea on three sides. The port is blocked by enemy ships, and sooner or later it will be over!

George Vassar also agreed with General Gates in his heart, but in his report to the Continental Congress, he clearly expressed his determination to defend Midgard.

He knew that he couldn't do it, just because Midgard's strategic position was too important, and he abandoned it without a fight. Politically and psychologically, the eight million compatriots in the New World were unacceptable, and foreign friends would also be surprised!

The intelligence from New Avalon indicated that Feizhen's army was ready to board the ship. Time was running out. General Vasa had to hand over half of the army to Laval and Gates, and told the two deputies to stick to the Zishan Valley; personally led the rest Half of the troops hurried south to support Midgard City.

The "Primitive Order" kept its promise and did not stop Vaasa's troops from sailing down the river.

15,000 Continental Army soldiers passed through the "Iron Forest" smoothly. When passing by the "Linyuan Fort", Vassar considered that the enemy had launched an offensive from the sea. Too many fortresses stationed on the land was a waste. One thousand people are enough, and the other three thousand defenders were merged into the Continental Army by him, and they rushed south to help Midgard.

After replenishing its forces and taking a rest in Fort Linyuan, Vassar's regiment marched all the way and arrived at Midgard on July 16.

This troop came from a long distance, dusty, ragged clothes, and poorly equipped, just like a large group of refugees fleeing from famine, giving people a very bad impression.

Gentlemen and ladies in the city, seeing such a desolate army, all the beautiful illusions about the independent revolution and the Continental Army have all turned into a basin of cold water and poured down, and their hearts are cold.

what? The so-called Continental Army, just this virtue?

Can such a beggar-like army of miscellaneous names be able to win the battle against the powerful Fierce army?

What disappoints and even annoys the citizens of Midgard is yet to come.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers who lacked clothes and clothes flocked into Midgard. Eating and drinking Lazard was a real problem.

What to do if the supply of military supplies is insufficient?

The delegates of the Continental Congress spread their hands together, expressing their helplessness. You can go there by yourself.

Well, the officials don’t pay, and the living can’t let the urine suffocate to death. The soldiers must find a way to fill their stomachs.

Midgard is the most prosperous city in the New World. The life of the civic class is much richer than that of the big soldiers, and the poor are rarely seen as soldiers on weekdays.

Nowadays, the feng shui turns, and the army is the guard of Midgard. Soldiers fight blood on the front line to protect the citizens and live and work. They deserve more respect.

"Little boss, the bread is baked well! Hey, it's delicious!"

Several soldiers broke into the bakery on the street, grabbed the freshly baked bread and stuffed it into their mouths.

The owner tried to stop, and the gun was on his forehead.

The Continental Army is equipped with few firearms, which are not as good as Fiji's real military regulations, but it is still enough to "eat food" in the city.

"Sorry, fellow, for the sake of independence and freedom and democracy, we will come to your house every day for dinner. You don't need to spend money to prepare good wine and food, just enough bread!"

"Why don't you pay for food? See what you said, why can't you not pay for it! Here, this is a military ticket, you have collected it!" The soldier took out a colorful piece of paper and stuffed it. To the bakery owner, "After the victory of the independent revolution in the future, remember to take your military ticket to the lords of the Continental Congress to exchange for real money!"

"What if the Continental Congress doesn't admit it? Then I can only wish you good luck!"
