Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 61 Butcher Knife General…

Campbell II was about to collapse, and if it wasn't for the tough character he had cultivated for a long time, he would almost have gone crazy. The Western Front Army of the Augsburg Empire has penetrated deeply into the south of the Principality of Cologne, the important town of Mainz in the south of Cologne, where the Allied Southern Alliance fought the first official battle with the Augsburg Empire Army since the Aohan War. The huge disparity in military strength prevented the coalition forces of the southern countries of the alliance from resisting the offensive of the Augsburg Empire, which lasted only one day. Mainz fell, and more than 10,000 coalition soldiers became prisoners. Died in this battle.

The entire Principality of Cologne only has 35,000 regular troops and 20,000 reserve soldiers. Even if they are all mobilized, they will not exceed 50,000 troops. Of the 15,000 troops, only 110,000 entered the army in total, of which 70,000 were formed into the Southern Corps of the Alliance Standing Army.

Under the impact of the imposing Augsburg army, although the coalition forces also carried out resolute resistance, they were outnumbered, and the determination of Campbell II was not directly proportional to the command art of Lüders, the southern commander of the standing army. The commander of the West Front Army of the Gesburg Empire is the famous general of the Augsburg Empire, Lonstein. He used 30,000 armored cavalry to forcibly break through the infantry defense lines of the Duchy of Cologne and the Duchy of Kassel, the standing army. , leading to the collapse of the entire front, the coalition forces had to retreat to Bamberg, an important town in the central part of the Principality of Cologne, to prepare for a more tenacious resistance here.

Campbell hopes that the coalition can help him secure Bamberg here. Waiting until the central and northern alliance standing armies and reinforcements from other member states, without the support of these member states, Campbell would not dare to challenge the Augsburg Empire no matter how arrogant he was. But the Augsburgers didn't seem to want to make it easy for Campbell for a long time. Less than two days after the capture of Mainz, the Augsburg army from the east broke into the Principality of Dresden along the west coast of the Baltic Sea, and captured Ai in one fell swoop. Crane Pass, this is the commanding height in the southern area of ​​Dresden. Seizing it is equivalent to controlling the southern part of the Duchy of Dresden, overlooking from here to the north. The southern plain of Dresden is presented in front of you, and the city of Dresden, located in the middle of the Dresden plain, becomes the capital of the principality.

The Dresdeners gave up the second wave of 25,000 reinforcements they had sent after learning that the Ekland Pass had fallen. They needed to defend their capital. It is dangerous to defend, and the Augsburgers can easily cross the Great Plain to the foot of Dresden. If the Augsburgers had captured the city of Dresden, they would have died without a place to die.

The only remaining allies are Kassel and Ulm. They are both small countries with less than 30,000 troops. They have no extra troops to support Cologne. The danger they may face. The only hope now is the army of the Principality of Salzburg. Salzburg was the most powerful country in the south of the Allies. Has a standing army of up to 140,000 people. One of the corps is the Union standing army that has been stationed in the north, and it seems to be still stationed in the West Indian region. If the Principality of Salzburg can send another corps in time for reinforcements. Maybe Bamberg has another hope, otherwise they will have to rely on their defense of Cologne.

It is the third wave of envoys to Salzburg, but the army of the Principality of Salzburg still has not been able to appear before the hopeless city of Cologne. Campbell is a little desperate. If the Campbells are also afraid of Augsburg The army, the Principality of Cologne is really hopeless.

The first batch of reinforcements from the Duchy of Salzburg, 30,000 heavy infantry, finally arrived at the city of Cologne on the 1st. At the same time, the three armies of the Allied Standing Army also rushed towards the south from the border of the Farmine Empire and the northern region. , Although they came very quickly, they miscalculated the war because they miscalculated that the special envoy of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhigman, would be able to settle the matter. Therefore, the mobilization of the standing army has also seemed much slower, and now the southern countries have paid a heavy price for this.

On the same day, the Eastern Army of the Augsburg Empire captured Bamberg. The people of Cologne lost the courage to continue to resist before the arrival of reinforcements, and had to evacuate their central town of Bamberg, Augsburg. Taking advantage of the opportunity, it also occupied the key passage linking the Principality of Cologne with the central plain of the Principality of Dresden - the Willam Pass, which is an important passage from the central part of Cologne to Dresden. The Dresden Plain moved westward and pressed the Cologne Valley.

On the 1st of the month, the Augsburg Western Front Army defeated the heroic resistance of the Knights of the Principality of Dresden in the middle of the Dresden Plain. The meaning is that in the face of the Knights of the Principality of Dresden, which is several times the strength of its own, it still insists on fighting the Augsburg Imperial Army on the plain. The result can be imagined.

On the 1st, the Western Front Army of the Augsburg Empire captured Kaimnitz located in the middle reaches of the Dresden River, realizing the strategy set by the Augsburg Empire and taking control of Willam Yamaguchi, the east-west armies can be easily connected, Kolon and Dresden, the two important barriers in the south of the alliance, have almost lost more than half, Augsburg has won the first stage of the war, but at the same time the alliance The 200,000 standing reserves in the country have also been reinforced, and the Augsburg Empire also realized that it is not so agreeable to imagine that it is easy to defeat the Allies as in the first stage, and it is extremely important to stabilize the current position.

Cui Wenxiu quietly arrived in Blue Castle City by taking advantage of the *night*(please delete the forbidden book)*(please delete the forbidden book)*(please delete the forbidden book). There is only one division of the imperial army stationed here, and the same In the Hansen Alliance, only 20,000 people from De Fein's White Zygote Corps were stationed in Blue Castle, and the imperial army was still secretly mobilizing, but I'm afraid it won't be long. Cui Wenxiu knew after Bamberg and Willam Pass in the middle that the time was ripe. As long as the army of the Augsburg Empire controlled these two fast places, the battle between the Allied Army and the Augsburg Empire would not happen twice a day. The day will be over, not to mention that even the south of Dresden has fallen into the hands of the Augsburgers. This occupation will make the Hansen League fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate itself.

"Is everything ready?" Cui Wenxiu blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, and asked with a smile. The governor of West Indian County in front of him is the most young governor in the entire empire, only 31 years old. The inauguration of the governor of West Indian County caused an uproar in the political arena of the empire at that time, but Cui Wenxiu believed in His Majesty's vision, and was able to place Mr. Link here, and His Majesty must have his own intentions.

"General Wenxiu, please rest assured that everything is ready. Tomorrow, the chambers of commerce in several other provinces will jointly sign a letter requesting the Hansen Alliance to withdraw from Blue Fort and hand over the Mana Province to the single management of the empire. At the same time, the Mana Province Chamber of Commerce and The local aristocrats will take to the streets to demonstrate and demonstrate the will of the people. The two-party management has already made the Mina people deeply inconvenient, not to mention that the empire is now in full swing, and fools know who to follow to have a future." Link smiled and sat back firmly in his seat In the chair, "I wonder if the general is ready to return it?"

"Link, are you questioning my ability, Cui Wenxiu?" Including a province, they are not qualified to dictate this land, they will soon realize this, if they don't, they may lose more."

"General Wenxiu's prestige Link has long been used to it. Maybe Dexin's problem is not big, but Destin, as far as I know, most of the local people in Destin have converted to the Holy Spirit. Less than 30% of the people who truly believe in the Niye religion and the Roman religion ~IndoMTL.com~ Their recognition of the Principality of Hanover and the Han Forest Alliance is much higher." Link was not overwhelmed by Cui Wenxiu's momentum, he needed to remind the other party , although he knows that the other party should be more considerate than himself, but he must do his own responsibility.

"Well, this is actually the biggest problem and obstacle for our military operation this time. Now the Hansen League is stationed in the entire West Indian land and there is only one white zygote corps with 70,000 people. Now the Hansen League is fighting with August The Fort people are fighting fiercely, and it is impossible to spare extra troops to support West Indian, both in terms of possibility and time. The top answer is that the Principality of Hanover may dispatch their defense forces outside the standing army of the alliance to reinforce. But that little force can hardly pose a big threat to our superiority, but as you said, the people of Destin Province may join forces with the Hanoverians to prevent our entry. This place is too close to the mainland of Hanover, and secondly. With the support of the public, we don’t have the right location and people, so the difficulty is much greater. If we really want to fight, there may be a possibility that Destin will be completely destroyed, so I have been hesitant.”

Cui Wenxiu licked her lower lip, her face showed some ferocity, "But since I have taken this big step, I don't intend to give up Destin, if the foolish people really want to link their beliefs with the rule of the state power Wake up, we will not be stingy with the blade in our hands. Blood and heads may wake up many people. Faith cannot replace everything. People need to understand more truths if they want to survive.
