Power and Empire Chapter 1670: Empire vs. Empire (9)
"My lord, according to your prediction, how many people are there in the opponent's reinforcements?" This time, even Andalin was a little nervous. The long queue of refugees and the miserable sight of the army collapsed along the way were still there. The female adjutant lingers in her mind,
glanced at Andalyn’s beautiful face, Hasen Rambo sighed and shook his head
"I don’t know, this is totally unpredictable! From the very beginning, we and the Northwestern Rebels were in unequal combat conditions. Although the opponent’s strength was insufficient, they were all elites who had been fighting for a long time. The troops seem to be strong, but most of them are local troops that are not strong enough. The opponent knows the layout of our army, and our army is completely blind to the northwestern rebels. The other party directly attacked Rusty, obviously in order to cut off. The relationship between the empire and the southwest. The number of northwest rebels we are facing now is 150,000. Some time ago, Stanley Spencer’s old ten thousand attackers suffered a disastrous defeat at the Sona River. The number of rebels in the Northwest was 230,000. Later, the rebels in the Northwest entered the Southwest strongly, and hundreds of thousands of the Southwest Army were incorporated without bloodshed. Even if only the elite troops are retained and most of the local troops are disbanded, the total number of the Northwest Rebels is also It should be around 300,000!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Everyone in the command headquarters changed their faces, and the wandering gaze had turned into fear. The air was inhaled and the solemn atmosphere was suppressed like a mountain, and the command headquarters fell silent for a while. Silence,
The number of 300,000 really scared many people, especially the left-wing generals, who just encountered an unprecedented tragic fortress battle between the two armies, except for a small-scale confrontation of less than 10,000 people for half a month. The Japanese fortress is already the biggest confrontation between the two sides,
From the beginning, the generals on the left never thought that they would lose,
The northwestern rebels unexpectedly raided the left-wing core Bruges fortress, and the left-wing army responded quickly. In less than a day, more than a hundred thousand troops stormed the Bruges fortress like a rainbow. All the left-wing infantry commanders believed that the Northwestern rebels' raid on the fortress of Bruges was completely seeking their own death! These arrogant Northwestern rebels actually took the initiative with a mere 50,000 troops to meet the 100,000 left-wing army,
is close to a three-to-one force comparison,
Everyone thinks that the victory of this battle is without suspense. It happens to be able to take advantage of the situation to severely inflict a heavy blow to the northwestern rebels, and kill one-third of their forces at the Bruges fortress Yixue. But no one expected that the Bruges Fortress’ counterattack would be so fierce. In just one day’s battle, the Northwestern Rebels, which numbered less than 50,000 in number, did not show the momentum of defeat, but instead defeated them head-on. Dozens of consecutive attacks launched by hundreds of thousands of troops,
The Hundred Thors on the fortress of Bruges carried out a carpet bombardment on the bottom, until the gun barrels were flushed and cooled with cold water, they continued to bombard the rows of Gauls, heavy ballistas and Arrows, these lethal weapons aimed at large corps operations, were also released without scruples at this time.
Gauls who are accustomed to phalanx warfare, are like weeds covered by the pouring rain, falling down like a sickle, and they have thoroughly experienced the pinnacle of Ikadiva’s Continental Army industry. In the area where Thor’s bombardment was most intense, the Gaul’s infantry regiments pushed up one by one, layer upon layer of corpses, bright red blood mixed with minced meat over the ankles, like A terrible battle like a nightmare, and all the Gaul officers who participated in this battle were frightened.
There are strange expressions in his eyes. It seems that they are trying hard to suppress the consternation in their hearts. Their minds are completely filled with the number of 300,000. If it is really as predicted by the empire's famous Hasen Rambo, in addition to the 160,000 Northwestern rebels that have been exposed. There are 140,000 northwestern rebels waiting for opportunities in the dark like poisonous snakes, and everyone’s mind is suddenly numb. There is only one thing that can be thought of, "sir, we should evacuate immediately" a leftist The general hurriedly said, "The northwestern rebels have opened the gate of the Bruges Fortress. Soon, the cavalry of the northwestern rebels will uproot the entire left wing like mercury, and it is a dead end to stay on the left wing!" /
"Yes, riding the other side has not fully recovered from the victory, we are still..." The other generals echoed one after another.
Hasen Rambo was silent for a while, his eyes swept across the anxious faces of everyone, and he looked very helpless. He took a deep breath and nodded. "Well, you immediately gather all the troops and take everything you can take away. Things, things that can’t be taken away, are burned immediately, and the army evacuates to the right wing lightly"
" and...
. Take him away too! "Hassen Rambo glanced at Grada in the corner. Anyway, Grada is doing his best to fight!
"My lord, do you need to arrange for the queen? In case you encounter the Northwest Rebels..." a left-wing general asked cautiously, and many people immediately showed nervous expressions, the Northwest Rebels The cavalry is extremely fierce. Once encountered, the main force of the army may be able to escape, but the troops responsible for the back of the palace, I am afraid that few people will survive
"No need, the northwestern rebels should not be marching so fast!"
glanced at the pale faces of the generals, and shook his head decisively, and slowly said, "When I came just now, there were a large number of migrating refugees along the road. I believe that at this moment, the Northwestern rebels are also being Blocked by these refugees, there is currently no way to completely block the road leading to the right wing"
" It’s a thoughtful adult! "In the air, a low, relieved voice came from the air. The left-wing generals who were nervous to die just now showed a slight smile.
" This is the so-called military spirit has been lost and can no longer fight! "The expressions of all the officers are brought into view, Hasen Rambo's face looks ugly,
It’s already very clear that everyone has chosen to give up the left wing. Although they have already planned this way, they thought of fighting for half a month. First, the Eighth Army collapsed, and then the left wing collapsed. In just one month, the Empire Nearly 10,000 troops have been lost in the Rusty area, and the blood of countless Gaul soldiers invaded this land. It would be worse for the empire whose national strength is dwindling day by day. I really don’t know that such news will be sent back to Kyoto. What mood will your Majesty the Emperor who is holding a luxurious celebration face?
" Three hundred years of empire’s wind and rain, there has never been such an embarrassment like today! May God bless me Gaul! "On the way back to the right wing, I gave Senlampo to stop his horse on a hill, and the vast land in front of him It's autumn yellow, with a bit of bleak bleakness
Three days later, the tens of thousands of Falcons who opened the left-wing gate slowly advanced from the Bruges fortress into the left-wing area, almost without hindrance. All the left-wing areas chose to attach, which is really the name of the Northwestern rebels. It was terrible. The local residents ushered in the new owners of this land in a trembling tremor. The situation of the refugees basically disappeared from the left wing. Most of the refugees turned to the right wing in the first three days, and the local residents even more. The heart of resistance can't be raised. Except for those who could not walk and the fifteen thousand central army who had mixed in, hundreds of thousands of refugees ran to one left. For those who fled to the right, Falcon The army is completely indifferent, even if they accidentally ran into it, they would treat it as if they didn’t see anything
The black armor of the Falcon Infantry Corps and the red armor cloak of the Guards Cavalry quickly filled the left wing land within a day. /
Autumn wind blows across the long flat ground, and some withered grass blades were trampled back into the mud by the flying horseshoes, and the falcon flags rustled in the wind.
" Your Majesty, why did our army have to wait three days before marching on the right wing? Hu Keqili rode on the horse and asked the fat man curiously. According to his understanding of the fat man, His Majesty Falcon has always pursued the military **** to march forward as quickly as possible. The raging fire was unstoppable. The original battle with Rude was because the Falcon led his army directly into Rude Kyoto, which was thousands of miles away, which caused the main force of the German army to rush back to aid, which eventually led to a complete defeat. It was attacked in just a few months. The Kingdom of Ruud that the Swadians have not captured for hundreds of years.
"Take advantage of the situation!" The fat man rode on his horse, and slowly walked past a wheat field that had just been harvested. The horse whip in his hand raised his whip. "The left wing is spacious and the Shigu army is attacking. You only need to occupy the node. Can swipe
" But the right-wing terrain is long and narrow, and it is a contiguous mountain city, which is enough to form a natural barrier to drag our army into a **** battle. Once you enter the city, you will be confronted by enemies on all sides in the city. It is more than just a line of battle. "Yeah" The fat man's voice stopped and he glanced at the mountains in front and said
"Gaul’s commander was also decisive. He quickly gave up when he saw the collapse of the left wing and evacuated all the left-wing troops to the right. Guarding the right wing was the Gaul Sixth Army, known as the Gaul Tiger Army, with a strength of 14. Ten thousand people, well-equipped and rich in combat experience, are not comparable to the local legions we encounter on the left. If our army follows closely behind, it will inevitably be dragged into the most unfavorable city and place by the other side. The other side waits for work, and our army has just gone through two battles in the fortress of Bruges. The soldiers are in high spirits, but their physical strength is exhausted. They are too reluctant to march on the right wing. They delay three days before attacking the right wing. On the one hand, the soldiers can be rested and on the other hand, The real battle is second, the main thing is to delay for a while, so that more refugees will swarm into the right wing!"
"The refugees flow into the right wing? So that's it!" Hu Keqili was stunned when he heard it, and a fish appeared on his face. He said inwardly, "It's still your Majesty's interest, so I first arranged a hand to let the refugees flow into the right wing. It’s a city. The population is denser than that of the left, and it’s not a region that can produce food like the left. The Rusty region is short of food. It’s not easy for the Gauls to support the front. It’s been caused by the left. Violence and chaos, but because the left wing is open, it can have little impact. However, if large-scale riots break out in densely populated right-wing urban areas, that is another matter!"
" In fact, the left wing has fallen into the hands of our army, and the initiative of the campaign has changed hands. When attacking the right wing is entirely ours, instead of the previous one, we must guard against the other side's initiative at any time to force our army to fight decisively. At this time, Whether or not to win the right wing is not important to the overall situation!"
The corner of the fat man’s mouth hehe smiles, although he is not handsome, he is full of masculine spirit, and he has a vigorous look. Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of black eyes are sharp and sharp, like a sword that can pierce the sky
Hu Keqili heard a little vaguely, and asked cautiously, "The right wing in His Majesty Falcon’s mouth is no longer important. What does it mean?
"It's late autumn in August, and September will be coming soon in one month! I have experienced the extreme cold of Obaro!" The fat man touched the lines on the horse whip with deep eyes and a solemn tone. Said
"Within two months, our army fought for thousands of miles. First, the Battle of Sona River defeated the 160,000 Gaul crusaders, then moved east to the southwest, and then fought at Rusty to annihilate the Gaul army 300,000. It severely inflicted the Gauls and forced them to change from a strategic initiative to a passive defense. Although the record has been brilliant and the military will have reached the peak, it is not a fatigued division. If you forcibly advance, even if it penetrates the right-wing urban area, our army is at the top. More is a miserable victory"
"Truly victory? No way! Our army's losses are completely disproportionate to the other side!" Hu Keqili said with a weird look. "The domestic reinforcements have already reached Dahai City and will soon be put into combat. Our army will have an advantage. Status!"
"Dominant position?"
Fatty's face was slightly cold, and he snorted heavily, and said, "As the commander of the army, your eyes should not be so short! Do you remember the battle between you and the old man Anto of Dorok at Palahan! Now! Our situation is like the Antoine army that has approached Palavin for less than fifty miles.
"Anto Army!" Hu Keqili blinked his eyes. The danger and reversal of the Battle of Palahan was like a flash of lightning. Over his mind, the powerful onslaught of the old handsome Anto, now it seems However, it seems that victory is in sight, but in fact it is in a killing game! What makes Hu Keqili feel speechless most is that after the war, His Majesty Falcon once said that even if Hu Keqili did not block Anto, the old coach Anto would never dare to enter Palahan.
The fat man glanced at the thinking Hu Keqili, and said in a condensed voice, "Our army is like Anto. If you forcefully march on the right wing, the strength of the Gauls will be greatly damaged. Our army will open the door to the hinterland. Isn’t it the end of a strong crossbow, opening the door does not mean that you can move in! Don’t forget, behind us, there is still the Gangfei Empire’s eye on the southwest. Once the opponent takes this opportunity to march into the weak southwest, it’s like I cut off the back of the army in one fell swoop, and the army scattered and attacked the provinces, exhausted in a short time, and would fall to death! If the Gauls launch a counterattack again, under two-sided attack, the hundreds of thousands of elites in the empire will be overthrown and this "
"This...
. . "Hu Kesili's face changed slightly, and a row of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. It was really too much.
He really didn’t think about the other general Shifei people in the southwest area. Now the main force of the empire is fighting in Rusty, which can be said to be advancing triumphantly. Once the southwestern war starts, the main force of the main force will be entangled with the Gauls in the hinterland. In the difficult multi-line combat, it is impossible to quickly transfer back to the southwest thousands of miles away. If the southwest is lost, then the situation will be worse than the defeated Gaul. At least, the Gauls do not need to consider logistics. The problem of being cut off, and the logistics of the Falcon army is built on the logistics hub of the southwest. Even if the logistics is recruited on the spot, the army's spirit is dispersed, and it is only a matter of time before each breaks! "
"Although I don’t want to stop here, this is the current situation." The fat man stretched out his hand and patted Hu Keqili, who was in a daze. He smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. This rest and reorganization, even the newly captured southwest, needs a stable period to develop before it can truly become a solid springboard for the empire to enter the hinterland of Gaul. There are dozens of provinces in the hinterland of Gaul, and I am too impatient to swallow it. In the end it will choke to death.
I have mobilized the Southern Army and the Northwest Army from the country as the army to take over, and maintain a strong oppression of Gaul,
, the main force is temporarily transferred back to the southwest for rest,
If possible, I hope to be able to make an alliance with the Congolese and African empires this winter to completely resolve the worries of the Southwest! It is expected that the offensive will be launched in the spring of next year, and the whole situation will be completely changed by then ~IndoMTL.com~! "The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a certain look
"Next spring!"
Hu Keqili was taken aback by the fat man’s decision, he hesitated on his face, or boldly said, "Your Majesty will alliance with Congo? I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. The Congo and Fei empire is bound to win the Southwest. Ah! And the southwest is also an important springboard to enter the hinterland of Gaul, I'm afraid there will be unavoidable conflicts"
"Because it is inevitable, I want to return the main force. Although it is a break, I did not say that there will be no small-scale conflict." The fat man's mouth showed a sly smile and said, "Compared Yu Rusti, the southwest is our strategic goal for this battle! The southwest, backed by the Northwest Dahai City, connects the empire’s local resources and forces, and has an existing naval base. It has all the conditions to become a logistics base. People want to swallow the southwest, and they also intend to enter the hinterland of Gaul, so this battle of interests is inevitable. It just depends on how to fight it.
Talking between countries, in addition to benefits, sometimes it is necessary to see whose fist is big enough, and both parties are convinced, so that you can sit down and talk! Only when the Gangfei people eliminate the heart of annexing the southwest, we can steadily enter the hinterland of the Gaul Empire. I have packed hundreds of thousands of hungry and cold refugees to the right wing. One winter, enough Gaul people are busy! Let this festering scar continue on the right-wing defense line until next spring. Our army only needs a light blow to break it open!
