Chapter 85 Node 85"Stand! Prepare! Fire!" With a loud command, there were 3 regiments in front of 1 regiment Start pouring fire on the enemy opposite them. The battlefield once again returned to the rhythm of queuing to kill, and because of the addition of heavy machine guns, it became extremely efficient.
The Arrant Empire's troops collapsed, as it should be by rights, there is no suspense, with 1 regiment and 3 regiments joining the battle, even the Holy Demon Emperor's giant horse cavalry can't penetrate the front line , facing the troops of the mortal empire is really a bit overkill.
In a few minutes, the Arrant Empire was so proud that the Imperial Family Guards, which they thought could even be comparable to the Holy Demon Emperor's army, were almost wiped out on the battlefield. The rest of the troops, Langbenzhitu, hid in Tibet and lost their effective organization.
General Zorn was pulled back and retreated, his eyes full of unwillingness and madness. He felt that he should die here, on this land that made him desperate. It's a pity that his subordinates can't let him die here like this. After all, General Zorn is still the Great General of the Arrant Empire in name.
"Let's retreat! Your lord! The cavalry of the Holy Demon Emperor must have retreated. Let's go back to the main camp quickly, before we can make any plans!" An officer supported General Zon, watching The army, which was already in chaos, wailed and persuaded.
After all, Zorn didn't really want to die on the battlefield, he just had a little thought, but this thought became more and more intense with the gunfire of the Alanhill Grenadiers on the opposite side. , has long been as scattered ashes and dispersed smoke like the troops he commanded.
So he didn't speak, was pulled by his hands, and retreated towards the camp. Along the way, they gathered the defeated troops, and in the end they didn't even have 2,000 men. Who would have thought that an army of 30,000 people would have retreated like this?
But when Zon finally cheered up and returned to the main camp with the remnants of the defeated soldiers, he found that it was no different from the battlefield.
The corpses were piled up like mountains, and the camp was dilapidated. At a glance, you could tell that there was a fierce battle here, and it was a very tragic kind. Even General Zorn did not dare to enter the camp, and only sent two henchmen in to ask what happened.
As a result, two henchmen returned with Prince Lumbach's men to deliver the news, and an organized rebellion broke out shortly after Zorn left with his troops. Captains of several 10,000-strong teams suddenly attacked and attacked the main business where Rumback was located. As a result, the two sides fought fiercely and lost thousands of people to each other.
Then, seeing that the sneak attack didn't work, the Captains of the ten-thousand-person team led their troops around the camp and surrendered to the Alanhill defenders in Maricha under the white flag... Now Lumbach is still counting the losses. , It is estimated that the losses caused by the civil unrest in the surrender zone were at least 40,000 people.
An army with a grandiose of 200,000 people at the time of departure has lost half of it without even taking back a city...and sent 30,000 prisoners to the other side, which can be said to be The biggest joke in the history of warfare since the founding of the Arrant Empire.
Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Now whether it is Zon or Prince Rumbach, they are all taking the blame for the unremarkable. Even the emperor Your Majesty himself can't afford to use hundreds of thousands of troops to fight this kind of gambling on the country's luck.
"Retreat immediately! Isn't it courting death waiting here? The Alanhill troops on the flank are about to fight, and when the time comes they will be stuck, and tens of thousands of people will be lost!" The strength of the troops, Zon is very aware of his own situation now.
Using the last of these troops to retreat quickly, fortunately, saving the little blood and bones left in the Arrant Empire is the only thing he can do now. If the remaining 100,000 army were lost, then Arrant would not even be eligible for a peace.
But... just want to go, how can it go so smoothly? When facing the giant horse cavalry, or the Dragon Knight, the cavalry of the steppe empire is as weak as a quail. However, in the face of the remnants of the Arrant Empire, the cavalry of the Prairie Empire had an infinite advantage.
These cavalry can be chased along the way, grabbing the Arrant Imperial troops and keeping them from retreating south at full speed. As long as they can reduce the speed of the Arrant Empire's retreat, Alanhill's main force with a large number of carriages can keep chasing the Arrant Empire's troops.
When the time comes, no matter whether it is Farud, the important town of the Arrant Empire, or Tongsk, the gateway of the royal city, they can't keep it... Really at that time, the king city will become the front line, will the emperor Huke It's hard to say if Zorn is killed and Rumbach vents his hatred.
"Retreat immediately! Take away all the formed troops and leave behind the troops with heavy losses! Hurry up! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" Ordered, the troops of the Arrant Empire immediately retreated with full force, and even left 20,000 old and weak soldiers as bait for Alanhill.
...
"If we have enough troops to go south, then Farood will be ours." Chris looked at the map with some regret, and both hands crossed near chest sighed : "Who would have thought that we fought so smoothly in this battle..."
"If Faroud is forcibly taken, our front will be stretched too long. It is difficult to supply ammunition, and Faroud will It's going to be a quagmire that traps us, a logistical nightmare," Wilkes said, standing beside Chris.
Either way, Wilkes is a lot like Old General French of the Arrant Empire: they're both defensive-minded, willing to plot against logistics and have their own. troops.
They are all very difficult to deal with tactical masters, especially good at consolidating the victories already achieved. Sophisticated and cautiously is their strategy, and their winning creed is that they don't give the enemy any chance even if they don't want it themselves.
"Yeah, the meat is stewed, and we don't have our forks ready...it's really confusing." Chris sighed again, diverting his attention from the easy but troublesome method. Move away from Rude City.
Then he looked towards Bourgeois, the officer stationed in Maricha, the two most capable surrendering generals in Vast Sea City, and now he just supported Alanhill's frontal line of defense: one was Vast Sea City Lord at that time Wilkes, one was Bourgess, the vice-general of Hanhai at the time, which is really an interesting thing to think about.
"Bourgeois, what do you think we should do with the surrendered Arrant soldiers? In the direction of Bude, and here, it's not a small number." Chris looked at each other and said. asked.
Although on the frontal battlefield, Bourgeois and Wilkes confronted the Dragon Knight troops and the giant horse cavalry of the Holy Demon Emperor head-on, and they played very exciting and exciting, but in fact Alanhill The great victories occurred on both ends of the entire front.
In the far west, Coria commanded his troops to defeat the Arrant Empire troops who counterattacked at the same time, captured at least 50,000 soldiers, and won a huge territory. The results were brilliant.
On the far eastern side of the front, General Mordelair commanded his troops to capture the magic concentrate and control a large area east of Wallavor. In this battle, Alanhill obtained the most important magic concentrate resource and a valuable grain producing area.
You must know that after this brutal war, seeing that the time has entered summer, and the harvest is imminent, it is also a very gratifying thing to have a new grain-producing area.
"The prisoners should be sent back to the rear to participate in infrastructure construction! After all, the shortage of labor in the rear is not a day or two." Bourgeois thought for a while and replied: "But the ones who surrendered head on. Tens of thousands of soldiers, the training is still good, and they can be used directly.”
The lack of qualified troops is also a serious problem that plagues Alanhill, no matter how fast they expand their army, and finally suddenly occupy After so many vast territories, their forces were once again stretched thin.
There are already as many as 27 regiments of Alanhill troops, and now there are 10 cities and large castles that need to be directly controlled, plus the vast land between these cities, hundreds of thousands of Alanhill Grenadier troops Obviously a bit rare.
So, Chris really hopes that the more than 30,000 Arrant Empire troops who surrendered can be used directly - he hopes that these soldiers can be dispersed and subsidized to the expanded troops, so that the most Safe use of these surrendered enemy troops.
"As far as possible, arrange these troops in the Wallawa area." After making some calculations, Chris said, "Stay away from the direction that the Holy Demon Emperor may counterattack, and be close to Arrant, so that They bully the soft persimmon first and build some confidence."
"The rest is how to guard against the counterattack of the Holy Demon Emperor..." Wilkes looked at the two on the west side. In a city, he said to Chris: "The counterattack of the Holy Demon Emperor does not necessarily come from the south."
In fact, the three mortal countries bordering the Holy Demon Emperor are farthest away. Not to mention the forest empire for the time being, the more recent ones include the Arrant Empire and the Higgs Kingdom. If the Holy Demon Emperor wants to attack Alanhill, it is actually a long way to take the Arrant Empire to the south, and it is closer to the Higgs Kingdom.
Moreover, after crossing the Higgs Kingdom, they directly entered the hinterland of Alanhill, the most important and most industrialized Serris region. Directly attacking this area is the most fatal weakening to Alanhill.
Furthermore, as long as Serris City is captured, Alanhill will be intercepted into three sections that cannot support each other, and the battlefield situation will turn sharply. So for Alanhill, the most important defense node has always been Serris City behind him. This is also the reason why the teaching group has been stationed in Serris City.
