Power and Empire Chapter 3593: Overturning the country (24)
? The northern coast of the mission country, Higurashi Port
Above the 467-mile coastline in the northern part of the ecclesiastical state, Higurashi is famous for its beautiful scenery. Located in the center of the port, it is the largest church of the ecclesiastical state in the northern coastal area. Tang is also one of the only three ports to foreign countries that have adopted a blockade policy before. The blue dome of the church is set against the turquoise coast. The blue sky does not have the slightest variegated color, only patches of wool. The white clouds are flowing slowly, intertwined with the outline of the port to form a beautiful picture. At the port location, the hulls of large merchant ships lined up in line with the impact of the waves up and down
These are the transport ships of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Although ice has appeared in the inner sea, it has little effect on these large transport ships. Especially as the extremely important Nippon Port, the Imperial Navy directly dispatches the Imperial Dragon-class battleships every day. The heavy hulls of these Imperial Dragon-class battleships can easily crush the ice in the direction of the port to ensure that the port can operate normally in winter. There is no speculation that the empire will get into trouble in winter due to supply problems. Appeared, on the contrary, the northern coastline of the Order of the Kingdom and the coastline of Fei Zexi in these two months, because of the war, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce made a big deal
Various materials imported from the mainland of the empire flowed into these two regions. This battle involving two major military groups and more than one million people was like two giant beasts. The materials consumed every day The combat readiness is astronomical. Martin Liya transferred this burden to the occupied areas and supported the army by ruthlessly plundering the occupied areas. The empire mobilized the major domestic chambers of commerce and used the power of the chambers of commerce to transfer materials from the empire. After being transported to the south, the empire gave commissions, and then transported the special products of these two regions from the south to the north for profit. In more than two months, countless materials and preparations entered the north coast and the west coast of the ecclesiastical kingdom.
No one knows how much supplies the empire transported to the south. If anyone knows the approximate figures, then only the person in front of them, the emperor of the empire, the **** of the Continental Army, had planned to drag the war into winter two months ago. The black hand behind the scenes is not outstanding, but standing here is like a mountain, standing on the steps of the port, holding hands backwards, staring at the port in front of you, the sea breeze is blowing, and the waves like white lines are covered by the wind. Blowing backwards, on the horizon, the golden yellow of the setting sun rendered everything so unreal. The war on the sacred capital did not seem to have any effect on this place. The crowds coming and going still looked very lively, coming south. The northbound carriages, horses, and business travelers gather. Because of the influx of a large number of chambers of commerce, this ancient city was also overcrowded for a while. This was the result of several expansions of Nippon Port by the Imperial Navy.
The original Higurashi city only had more than 20,000 people, but now Higurashi city has a flow of 70-80,000 people.
This battle for southern supremacy is a life-and-death battle related to the ownership of Southern Europe for the monarchs of Obaro, but for these merchants of the empire, it is a golden business opportunity. The open ports of the mission country did not charge any preferential terms of trade tax at all. The speculators of the empire were also agitated for a time. A large number of goods were almost dumped in, and all kinds of war preparation materials were piled up in the city and outside the city. In various warehouses, large and small, the Chamber of Commerce only knows that there are capital predators hoarding materials and continuously transporting these materials to the north shore of the sect country, but it does not know that the people who eat these materials are actually the emperor. A full 13 million imperial gold war preparation materials were moved into the warehouse of the port. It is conservatively estimated that it will be enough to support 500,000 people for three months
"The Martin Liya people have already begun to attack. If the empire does not rescue, the Holy Capital will not last long?" Pope Putamia looked at the back of the empire, full of contradictory expressions.
"How many people are there in the holy capital now?" The black-haired emperor turned around and glanced over with his shining eyes
"The Knights Templar are around 30,000, and the Volunteer Army has 50,000 to 60,000, but in the face of Martin Liya's first-line elite, only God knows how effective it can be?' Putamia's pretty face is ugly. Speaking slowly, the emperor asserted that Martin Liya would launch a general offensive in the near future, but she did not expect that Martin Liya’s offensive would be so swift. She rushed for fifty miles overnight, and on the one hand, she trapped three heavy soldiers with several times their strength. On the other hand, it’s going straight to the holy city. Just last night, Karajan was less than 5 miles away from the holy city. 15,000 people from the Second Army of the Knights Templar, his most confidant, discovered that the Martin Liya Army made a raid. After the intention, the desperate fight only dragged on for three hours
Only fortunately, these precious three hours gave the holy some time to prepare. The holy capital urgently withdrew all the 50,000 Templar Knights near the holy capital into the holy capital. In an hour, less than 30,000 people were recalled. The other retreating Knights Templar were blocked by Martin Liya soldiers outside the Holy Capital at dawn. As a result, they were trampled and slaughtered by Martin Liya cavalry. , The corpses were everywhere outside the holy capital city. At this moment, only the empire can be used as a lifesaver for Putamia. The empire originally had four infantry flag regiments of the southwest governor Saron in the direction of the holy capital, because the imperial army entered the holy The capital caused an uproar in the entire Obaro continent. The imperial army was affected and could only withdraw from the holy capital. This time the Martin Liya army rushed in, and the imperial army naturally received the key care of the Martin Liya people. One hundred thousand Martin Forces, three hundred thousand are used to contain the empire,
In other words, in the holy capital, there are only more than 30,000 Templar regular troops, 40,000 volunteers recruited at zero hour, and what they are facing is fifteen drawn from Martin Liya’s army. Wan Jingrui! Martin Liya’s raid was swift and violent, and it was unexpected. After bypassing the battle for the Acropolis, they came directly under the Holy Capital and completely disrupted the defense line of the entire religious regiment nation. Everyone was surprised. Before it, it is definitely a classic in the raid war. It’s just that as the sect nation before Martin Liya Bingfeng, what I feel is another matter. I can’t fight at all, and the Holy Capital simply can’t defend it
Pudamia has been in a state of distress, and now I can only hope that the Empire will take the initiative to delay Martin Liya’s attack and relieve the pressure on the Holy City
"I'm asking how many civilians are still in the Holy Capital" The black-haired emperor sighed. He could feel that Putamia was completely panicked,
"The population of the sacred capital is about 200,000," Pudamia hesitated and replied, "The sacred capital has been very poor since the old and new pope's rebellion. Although the former sacred capital was underdeveloped in business, However, as the center of religious unity, it is a mega city with 600,000 loyal believers. However, after the new pope came to power, he suppressed and purged my faction, which directly resulted in the expulsion of more than 100,000 people from the holy capital. The northern part of the Erot Empire came back and regained the position of the Pope. There was another major purge for the Protestant faction. After two such tossings, the population of the Holy Capital has been less than 400,000 from the original 600,000. The influx of refugees has worsened the environment of the Sanctuary, and the population in the city has to be diverted to the north. Even so, there are currently more than 100,000 civilians in the Sanctuary."
Pudamia looked at the emperor with blinking eyes, her voice paused, and then she continued, "According to the practice of the Martin Liya people, the city must be slaughtered after the sacred capital is broken. It is even more difficult for these two hundred thousand civilians. Fortunately, please see your Majesty for the sake of these two hundred thousand civilians and order Lord Salon’s troops to move closer to the Holy Capital..."
"Enough, I don’t think I heard that."
The dark-haired emperor raised his hand and interrupted Putamia’s request. He looked over Putamia, but looked at the outline of the port residential area in the distance, and said in a cold voice, "The war has just begun. Already confused, how to fight, Saron has only 50,000 in his hand, and Martin Liya army has a full 150,000, in the case of unable to enter the holy capital, Saron had to fight against Martin with 50,000 infantry in the field. Yaren 150,000 cavalry, what do you think is the probability that Salon can win?"
"Sorry, I was too impatient"
Pudamia's face was ashamed. She also knew that she asked the emperor to force Saran to leave the current defensive point. The more than a hundred thousand cavalry who stormed the Martin Liya army were too difficult for them, but now Saran is the only one in the holy capital. A life-saving straw, I have to say that this war has begun to tilt due to Martin Liya’s raid, even Putamia was completely caught off guard, and although the imperial army has 200,000, it is under pressure. Only the fifty thousand army of Varisian and the fifty thousand army of Salon are on the front line. The other 100,000 armies are located in the area north of the Holy Capital. Even if the assembly is the fastest, it will take more than two days to be possible. Rescue the Holy Capital
And these two days are life and death for the holy capital, not to mention this time the Martin Liya people, in order to strive for the speed of their troops, almost all the cavalry of the 500,000 Martin Liya army was pressed on. A cavalry cluster of more than 100,000 troops is like a torrent of soldiers approaching the Holy Capital. Any rescue force that wants to leave its stronghold and move closer to the Holy Capital has to consider facing the powerful impact of a 100,000 cavalry cluster. Even the imperial army, in the vast and unimpeded wetland under the Holy City, cannot compete with the 100,000 cavalry clusters. It can be said that it directly cuts off the possibility of imperial rescue.
The Martin Liya people have been wandering outside the Holy Capital for two months. The silver fox in front was squeezed out, and the Western Front collapsed so much that even the weak Central Eight Kingdoms dared to form a group and step on it. After seeing the red fighting, people discovered that Martin Liya’s assault cavalry is still one of the most terrifying combat forces of this era.
"If you really want to save the holy capital, there is only one way," said the black-haired emperor
"How to save?" Pudamia is like a resurrection, she is bright and afraid of people. She believes that if one person can save the holy capital, it must be the man in front of her
"It’s impossible for Saron to defeat the Martin Liya, but it is possible to contain it. However, there is only one chance, the next time it will not be so useful, so if you really want to save the Holy Capital If you don’t, you can only give up the path of the holy capital." The black-haired emperor spoke again in silence, looking at Pope Putamia with a pale face, and sighed in his heart
Actually, in the emperor’s strategy, the holy capital was inherently unguarded. The 500,000 Martin Liya people planned for so long, and they have been stubborn for so long. Once the general attack is decided, the outbreak will inevitably be like a tsunami and landslide, regardless of All the consequences, the so-called mourning soldiers, are like this,
Although the imperial army has two hundred thousand in the holy capital, only one hundred thousand is in front of it. In fact, it is deliberately arranged by the emperor, because if the entire army of the empire is in the holy capital, it will face the nearly crazy Martin force of 500,000 Tooth people’s pounce, the holy capital must be a sea of blood and corpses. I am afraid that at least one hundred thousand imperial soldiers will be permanently buried here. The loss of one hundred thousand empire elites is exchanged for the ruined holy capital of the sect nation. It is obviously It’s not cost-effective. It’s just such words. I can’t tell Pudamia that the holy capital is of extraordinary significance to the entire ecclesiastical state. It is both the capital and the holy city, especially for Putami, who was a child since she was a child. For the woman who grew up in the Holy Capital and became the Pope of the Order of the Kingdom when she grew up, the Holy Capital represents her glory. Even if she has the desire to become a king, she still can’t let go of the Holy Capital. If she reveals it early If she wants to give up the plan of the Holy City, Putamia is afraid that this woman will turn her face on the spot
Unless ~IndoMTL.com~ pushes Pudamia into an irreversible situation, so even if he knows that the holy capital is like a volcanic crater, it will inevitably be burned down, the emperor did not remind Pudamia in advance
"Abandon the Holy Capital!" Pudamia's face was pale, she didn't think about this possibility, but every time she got up she immediately suppressed it, because she believed that perseverance can win, the battle of the Erot Empire. Because of persistence, she defeated Eero, the battle between the old and the pope, she was ambushed by the Allied Forces of the Four Nations in the Holy Capital, almost completely destroyed, and revived with perseverance, so she still relied on her unwillingness to admit defeat, although she was a woman , But possesses a nerve that is more tenacious than a man. At this moment, she is asked to give up. The impact on her thoughts can be imagined.
"Teacher!"
A soft voice came from behind, and Pudamia, who was desperate, realized that, at some point, a pretty woman walked up behind her, dressed in a pale yellow thick fox fur cloak, white. The back of the veil hung straight to the waist, revealing a stream of long hair, and the cap skirt dropped to the shawl, which infinitely strengthened her graceful shoulders and back. This is an extremely beautiful woman, and she does not seem to be old enough. It is big, but it gives people a cold feeling, like the broken ice layer in front of you floating on the sea, transparent sand and stones on the bottom of the sea can be seen, as well as fish and shrimp hidden in the sand. The white and flawless sand is very clean. It's very small, and it feels soft when you step on it,
