After the Iron Peak County troops officially launched an offensive against Magit Island, the battle situation on the island took a dramatic reversal.

While attracting the full attention of the defenders on the front, Tamas's pre-arranged division went downstream and landed from the back of the island of Magit, and used a hidden and fierce right hook to conquer the Domoncos Monastery, the main stronghold of the United Provincial people on the island of Magit, and seized all the supplies stored by the United Provincial people on the island.

The battle was over here, and the rest was nothing more than some sweet and exhausting finishing work.

However, the participation of the United Provincial Navy rewritten the ending of the defenders of Magit Island.

The warships of the United Provincial Navy ruthlessly crushed the poor barge.

The cannons of the United Provincial Navy bombed the New Army's pontoon bridge into pieces, and in the following days, the play was repeated many times.

The United Provincial Navy successfully blocked every attempt by the New Army to rebuild the pontoon bridge, which led to the New Army's inability to increase troops to Magit Island on a large scale. It could only move ants, relying on a small boat to send people to the island at night.

Ships are worse than people, and cannons are worse than people. Even the brave and fierce Palathus can only sigh at the river.

The remnants of the defenders on Magit Island may have been desperate, or they may have burst out with great wisdom and courage in desperate situations, and chose a path that was unexpected to everyone:

Just a quarter of an hour after the Tiefeng County army dropped the nest of the Unionists, the Union troops on Maggit Island attacked the Bishop's Fort, captured the dying soldiers of Baishan County, and immediately began to strengthen the fortifications.

At this point, the situation on Maggit Island had a 180-degree exchange.

After a bloody night of fighting, the two sides not only exchanged positions, but also exchanged offensive and defensive situations.

This time, it was the turn of the United Provincial people to be besieged on the small headland at the northernmost end of Magit Island and to fight for their lives.

However, when things developed here, some variables arose.

At the beginning, the new army generally believed that the United Provincial People occupied the Bishop's Fortress were just taking risks and struggling to death.

Although the pontoon bridge has not been completed and cannot increase troops to Magit Island in large quantities, it is not a good idea to capture the crumbling Bishops Fort with the existing troops on the island?

However, when they really touched the Bishops' Fort, the leadership of the new army discovered that the actual situation seemed to be different from what they expected.

First of all, although the troops on Magit Island did not have to worry about food and drink after seizing the supplies of the Unionists, they were limited to food and drink.

The island-based troops not only did not have cannons, but even thought that most of the battles should be hand-to-hand combat, so they didn't even carry a few muskets.

Although the Unionists on Maggit Island took a straight punch and were hit by a stick, they still maintained the establishment resiliently, not only brought the island's cannons into the Bishop's Fort, but even destroyed the gunpowder that they had no time to take away when they were evacuated from the Monastery of Domoncos.

On the night of the battle, the loud noise that awakened the entire king castle was the praise of half of the Domoncos Monastery before the ascension to heaven.

Secondly, when the Bishops' Fort was controlled by the New Army, it was just an isolated fort, surrounded by rivers and enemies. It was impossible to enter, retreat, exit, enter, and have no food or drink. It was only a matter of time before it could be lost.

But when the Bishops' Fort returned to the hands of the United Provinces, the situation immediately became very different.

It should be noted that in the planning of Lieutenant Colonel Montekukoli, the Bishops Castle is not an isolated castle, it is a key link in the large defense system that protects the kings Castle, and it can even be said to be the most important and lethal node.

Each of its walls is carefully calculated before construction to ensure that when the cannons near the fortress fire, the fortress walls will not change and act as a cover for the enemy.

Therefore, any soldier who attacks the Bishop Fort not only has to face the Bishop Fort itself, but also has to withstand side shots from both sides of the east and west.

Because the Unionists ruled the water surface, the Ten Arrow River, which was a natural barrier for the New Army, was open and open for the Unionists.

Through waterways, the United Provinces can continuously transfusion blood to the Bishops' Fortress.

Even on the night when the Domoncos Monastery fell, they sent a full 100-man team and four artillery into the Bishop's Fort, and pulled away all the prisoners and wounded on their return.

It can be said that from the very beginning, this small land before Bishops Castle was the killing field chosen by Raymond Montecukoli.

However, the Artillery Director never expected that this fortress, which he had devoted the most effort, would have re-implemented the functions it should have in the original design under this situation.

He had never foreseeed that the trap he had carefully laid for the new army finally turned around and turned into a cage that locked him up.

Lt. Col. Montecukoli's feelings are not mentioned yet. On the other hand, when Tamas cleaned the battlefield, turned around and began to make plans to capture Bishops' Fort, there was only one feeling - stinging hands.

After repeated and multi-directional observation, subjective intuition gradually transformed into objective judgment - Tamas is already very sure that this inconspicuous small turret is even more pissing than the Monastery of Domoncos.

The fort itself is a very standard federal star fortress with no dead ends of firepower, so there is no need to say much about this.

The Tiefeng Army has already mastered some tricks to deal with such fortresses.

The problem is that Bishops Fort is located on the river beach, dig a few shovels down and water will seep out.

In this case, digging and advancing is impossible.

Even when Montekukoli himself besieged the Bishop's Fort, he only dug trenches on the river bank a little far away from the Bishop's Fort and a higher terrain.

By the way, with the reversal of the situation in Magit Island, the fortifications previously built by Lieutenant Colonel Montekukoli to block the Bishop's Fort fell into the hands of Tamas, which saved the soldiers of Tiefeng County a lot of effort.

It’s probably the case that you’re trapped when you dig a trench.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, another question is raised here: The Bishops Castle is basically at the lowest point in its area. From the Bishops Castle to the Monastery of Domoncos, the terrain is rising all the way and is unobstructed.

The walls of Bishops Castle are heights, which means that for the cannons and musketeers deployed on the walls of the Bishops Castle, the gentle slope in front of Bishops Castle is like a target paper with a little natural curvature but no blind spots.

The second best wall building of the Tiefeng County troops is approaching, and it becomes difficult to use under this "funnel" terrain.

It's not that it can't be used anymore, it's just that it's very difficult to plan.

Moreover, the crossfire of enemy turrets from both sides of the east and west - Tamas dared to bet with his own head that the enemy must have deployed many cannons in those two turrets, just waiting for him to hit the Bishop's Fort - making the design of safely approaching the path even more complicated.

This has exceeded the ability of Tamas, a semi-illiterate who has never touched a triangle ruler several times. He must ask a professional engineer such as Lord Mason or Captain Woods to take action.

Tamas thought about it and thought that the safest way was to turn the enemy on his own and use his higher terrain to build a higher fort directly opposite the Bishop's Fort.

In this way, not only do you need to worry about cross-fire from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, you can also mount cannons and rush into the Bishops' Fort from a high place, so you will not have to worry about not being able to open the small Bishops' Fort.

You can even pile up dirt all the way, "push" the fortress in front of the Bishops' Fortress, and give it a face to the Bishops' Fortress.

By then, Bishop's Castle was self-defeating.

After Tamas talked about his ideas with the fifth battalion commander Lannis and other commanders, everyone felt that it was good.

Apart from a little flaw - time.

Too time-consuming.

Whether it is building walls, building forts or piled up soil, it requires a lot of time and manpower.

The Iron Peak County troops on Bishop's Fort have neither manpower nor time.

Firstly, although General Geisa had never urged Lord Mason, anyone with eyes could see that Geisa was very anxious. He was worried that the siege would take too long and cause changes; secondly, although Tiefeng County had not issued a military order, nor did he say anything big in advance, the unconditional trust and expectations of the entire army were like a big stone, pressing on the hearts of all the commanders of Tiefeng County.

You should know that after Your Excellency Mason took over the siege, he would almost have whatever he wanted, he would give him, and he would have to cooperate with him.

All the resources of the new army were tilted to Mason's combat plan without reservation.

In the early stage, the use of "Pearl Necklaces" to block the new city and other preparations for transferring barges from the upstream have consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and the most valuable resource - time.

At present, the only thing that was the last time I was trembling when I took all the Magit Island. At this critical moment, I still had to be slow and ask for more resources. The commanders of Tiefeng County really couldn't speak.

What's more, seizing Magit Island is not the end of the siege.

The purpose of occupying Magite Island was to build a pontoon bridge to the east coast. There was also the Queen's Castle on the east coast. If you had to hunt down the Queen's Castle, you had to nibble the old city. If you could nibble the old city, you might have to continue to dig a new city.

Each of the above links requires a lot of resources. You cannot expect the enemy to suddenly collapse after being pulled off a few bricks like a dry brick wall.

Where is the extra time was wasted in front of Bishops' Castle?

In addition to the internal factors of the new army, there is also an important external factor that must be mentioned.

That is - the Union Provincial People do have some unique experience in being "sieged".

General Yanosh once commented: "The madman Richard has been dead for almost ten years, but the guys in front of the mountain still live in the besieged city and have never come out."

The famous Venetta traveler John Berbert - of course Berbert himself claims to be a sea blue man, but Berbert is actually a Genova surname - has also left such a record:

“…………The public reservoirs (of every city in the United Provinces) are always full and are regularly maintained…”

"...The municipal government's warehouse stores weapons accumulated from the war years. Even the long-outdated weapons will not be scrapped, just to arm everyone if necessary..."

“………………… (in the city) each guild pays regular annual fees called donations, which are actually taxes, and are specifically used to repair the city walls…”

“…………………………………………………………………………………………”

"...The tragic siege and massacre that took place on this land during the sovereign war left an indelible mark on the surviving Unionists. They vowed that they would never let themselves suffer such a fate again..."

In a nutshell, due to historical memory, the people of the Union Province are essentially very afraid of being "being besieged".

But on the other hand, it is precisely because of their extremely fear of being "being besieged" that they are very mentally prepared for "besieged".

Just as the boots fell to the ground and they slept with peace of mind. After being trapped in the Bishop's Fort, the United Provincial People on Maggit Island not only showed no sign of collapse, but were more motivated - at least this was the case observed by the commanders of the Iron Peak County.

From the moment they entered the Bishops' Fort, the Unionists began to strengthen the defense of the Bishops' Fort. They were like stressed hamsters, digging holes, digging soil, and building walls like crazy.

One night, Bishop Fort changed its appearance - in contrast, the level of working for White Mountain County soldiers who had previously guarded Bishop Fort was indeed a bit too rough.

The next morning, under the gaze of the commanders of the Iron Peak County, Tamas, Lannis and other Iron Peak County, Bishop Fort continued to become increasingly difficult to conquer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The time when Bishops Castle is most easily taken down was actually last night, followed by now."

Lannis's words were unanimously agreed by others.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tamas also regrets that he did not conquer Bishop's Fort last night.

Last night, after the battle situation became clear, he sought stability and chose to clean the battlefield first, treat the wounded, and build a solid foothold before making the next plan.

He couldn't help but think: "If the second battalion commander came to command, he wouldn't delay the fighter planes like himself. Bart Xialing would definitely take advantage of the victory and fight a beautiful battle, but he left a difficult tail to deal with. I wonder how many soldiers would sacrifice for this."

Thinking of this, Tamas felt even more sad, guilty and ashamed.

Just as Tamas was in pain, Lannis' clear voice interrupted his thoughts.

"In my opinion, the cannons will not be transported for a while!" Lannis said firmly, "The pontoon bridge has been destroyed. I don't know how much time it will take to build it again. What's more, the warships of the Union Provincial people are still there, and they will not sit and watch the pontoon bridge be built.
