Power and Empire Chapter 3828: The death knell of Aden (2)
Mountains in the south of the Gulf of Aden, Bokluo
September is the end of autumn for the Gulf of Aden area. The warm current from the south sea surface will rapidly decrease in September, but an abnormality has occurred this year. The mist on the sea of mist suddenly disappeared, so it should be here. The rainy seasons in the southern mountains of the Gulf of Aden suddenly encountered a drought that had not been seen in decades, so that even the night air carried a sense of suffocation. When will the rain fall, the people of Aden I can't manage it now
Bokluo Province is a typical hilly and mountainous region. The beautiful and charming Long Bay of the Gulf of Aden is where this rugged mountainous land extends towards the bay. The topography of Berkluo 1 gives people a strange feeling. The beauty of the mountains, among the rolling mountains, suddenly one or two sharp high hills rise up, thrusting into the sky like a sharp sword, which is the basic topography of the Bokluo area. Occasionally there is a part of the basin between the mountains, but the area is small, still undulating. In such a barren area, it is very difficult to find fertile land, but geographically speaking, the narrow and long Bokluo Just like a long wall guarding the southwest of the beautiful Gulf of Aden, it has replaced the Gulf of Aden many times in history to block the danger of invasion from the south
Bokluo’s night is very dry. It has not rained for two full months. It was originally a grassy area, but now it is also a large area of withered yellow.
The brazier in the "brush" camp was blown by the wind, and a red fire was scattered like stars, shining on the embarrassing faces of every Aden general in the tent, flickering and dimming, and the atmosphere was solemn In the big tent, even feeling the pressure of breathing, more than a dozen generals of Aden stood on both sides, the atmosphere did not dare to kick, the imperial army suddenly entered from the southern coast line, caught off guard, the four provinces in the southern Gulf of Aden have already Become a battlefield, Burkeluo is the center of gravity of the imperial army's offensive. The king of Aden sent the decisive old coach Igwood to sit in the Oasis to prevent the kingdom of Aden from falling into a situation where both north and south are fighting. Prince Sotorosu, who was named the "Wall", arrived at the most important barrier south of the Gulf of Aden in Bokluo Province half a month ago
The middle-aged Prince of Aden is tall, with flaxen hair mixed with a little white hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin. At this moment, his face solemnly picked up the war damage report that had just been counted, cold. He said, "Why don’t you guys speak anymore? Who assured me that only 5,000 people in the imperial army entered Berkeluo. According to our strength of 28,000, defeating them is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. Did you bring it out?"
The voice of Prince Sotorosu stopped, his eyes were like electricity, and his eyes saw the generals of Aden chilling in their hearts. The title of the so-called Wall of Aden, his Royal Highness, was at war with the Erot Empire two years ago. In the middle of the game, I was surprised that 200,000 Aden slave armies were used to drag the Eero Empire army to death in the Oasis
It is said that in order to stop the collapse of the Kingdom of Aden in the Great Oasis at that time, the first thing the Prince did when he arrived in the Great Oasis was to personally order the execution of 19 generals of Aden who were ineffective, and then use these 19 The vacant position and family properties of General Aden were all used as rewards, encouraging the Aden army and the 200,000 slave army gathered in the Oasis to counterattack. In the end, even the Emperor Eero, who thought he had been victorious, fled. He is a person who kills his own people and is definitely more unrelenting than killing the enemy. The generals of Aden dared not raise their heads. They were all afraid of being targeted by the prince who was well washed and borrowed others' heads as an inspiration, and even muttered in his heart, don’t Look at me, don’t look at me, the person next to me has a better head than me
In the quiet and solemn atmosphere, the generals of Aden were full of sweat on their foreheads. It was not until Prince Sotorosu looked away that the generals secretly let out a sigh of relief and embarrassed, because this failure is indeed true. It’s a bit embarrassing to speak,
Originally, with the 18,000 Aden troops on the front line of Berkluo, they swooped at the imperial army that had just entered Berkluo, hoping to give the imperial army a head-on blow when the imperial army was not firmly established. Since the beginning of the war, the Aden army has been defeated like a mountain. Because most of the regular army is not in the country, only the garrison troops of the provinces of Aden are facing the imperial army, in order to block the imperial army from going north. In the course of the invasion, eleven garrisons from the province of Aden have moved into the southern front line, with a total force of 87,000, and the commander-in-chief is Prince Sotorrosu
This counterattack has an absolute advantage in strength
Prince Soto Rosso deserves to be a cruel figure who was able to squeeze the defeat across the board in the Oasis. He knew that the counterattack was not just a matter of crowds. The King of Aden sent him this time, undoubtedly so. I hope he can turn the tide again at a critical moment as if he were in a large oasis. He was not afraid of the 300,000 Erot army at the beginning, not to mention that the army invading the southern Gulf of Aden is said to have only 30,000 people
"It was said that it was an invasion by the imperial army, but it was actually just a tentative offensive. We don’t have to be in a mess. Moreover, the 30,000 imperial army has to form a big offensive on the four provinces at the same time. Dead end"
According to intelligence, there were only 8,000 imperial troops entering Berkluo. It was an unsuspecting battle, but out of prudence, Sotoruosu only agreed to use Berkluo’s troops. The side launched a counterattack. Burkeluo’s Aden army was nearly 30,000, but the place was wrong, the difference was uneven, and the combat effectiveness and weaponry were all different.
In the face of the imperial army that claims to be the most powerful in the mainland, Prince Sotorrosu, who has rich experience, knows that too many miscellaneous brands are a cumbersome. Sotorrosu selected more than 6,000 from the 30,000 defenders. , Formed three infantry regiments for assault, plus other infantry regiments, a total of eight infantry regiments, with 18,000 people. The forwards of both sides met in Bethsad, and then the Aden army quickly pressed on the whole line and launched an encirclement attack. Hope Swallowing the imperial army with less than 3,000 people in front of him in one breath, and winning the first battle to boost morale, but the imperial army retreated decisively to the wall of Bethard, making it difficult for the Aden army to speak up.
The scale of the Bersad encounter was actually not that big. Three thousand imperial troops were besieged by 18,000 Aden troops, and the time was not too long. One day and one night, 18,000 Adenites clamored to attack in turn, because It was a rush. Both sides did not have heavy weapons. In the absence of large-scale siege equipment, the Aden infantry used the most direct climbing and ropes. As a result, under the arrow rain of the imperial army, countless deaths under the city of Bertha, the imperial army The huge advantage of the staggering long-range weapons made the people of Aden learned what it means to hit the iron plate. After a fierce battle day and night, with the news that the main force of the imperial army was approaching, the Aden army that surrounded Bossad finally had no choice but to Withdrawal
As the main counterattack, the three infantry regiments suffered the most casualties, with 4,713 casualties. Almost one-fifth of the Aden army in the entire Bokluo area was lost, and one infantry regiment commander died in battle. , A serious injury, this series of casualties is undoubtedly a stupid blow to the Aden generals who are full of letters, bowing their heads, they all want to bury their heads,
Forget it without taking down Bursad, and he was later overtaken by the main force of the imperial army
The imperial army attacked fiercely like a tide of water, the imperial crossbow shooter's coverage suppressed, and the morale was like a rainbow. The Aden army, which had attacked day and night, was defeated. The saturated long-range strike power of the imperial army had completely destroyed Burkelu. The fighting spirit of the Austrian troops, the defeat in this battle, although not enough to fluctuate the whole battle, but also enough to shake the mind of Aden to counterattack,
"It's September, and the imperial army has come from a long way. I think the reason why the imperial has only deployed 30,000 people is probably because the logistical capacity has reached the limit. The Gulf of Aden area is too far away from the imperial mainland. , The longer the delay, the more unfavorable for the empire. If it really drags the battle to winter, it will be the end of the empire’s army.” Prince Sotorosu gritted his teeth and grunted. His original long bones were broad. The face is heavy, and at this time it is like a wounded beast under the firelight. A trace of cold is shaking in the night. This is not a big oasis, nor is it that Eero’s 300,000 troops are coming like a tide. The breakthrough is the crisis that overturns the entire Gulf of Aden. Situation
He Soto Rosu could kill in the Oasis on the same day and personally order the execution of 19 weak generals, but here, it is not possible.
Because the imperial army that invaded the south was only a mere 30,000, and the Aden army was not a regular army, but a temporary garrison. It killed people in the Oasis. Everyone would only feel that the killing was a good one. If not, These generals are greedy for life and fear of death, how can they be defeated on the front line, how can they be crushed into the hinterland of the big oasis, and kill those generals Aden who ignored the soldiers, and the soldiers and slaves are willing to really work hard, and these defensive generals Although the combat effectiveness is not very good, since the imperial army has advanced northward, although it is known that for the elites of the empire who swept the entire Obaro, their garrisons are completely manipulatives, but the garrison generals in these areas rarely do not fight. And escaped
Eight garrison generals have been killed in battle, and 14 people have been wounded. Based on this, he really couldn't kill Sotoruo Su! I hope it can really be delayed until winter, and it is best to wait for the imperial army to retreat on its own due to logistical problems! Just as Soto Rosso thought so, the adjutant Locks walked in from the outside with a weird look, and whispered to Soto Rosso, ""Master Toblas' messenger is here, Master Toblas's Fourth Army. It’s already less than eighty miles away from here"
"I got it"
When Sotorrosu heard the news that the reinforcements were about to arrive, he did not show a happy expression on his face, but frowned.
"My lord, it seems that there is a problem with the Oasis," the adjutant whispered, "My lord, in the report I just sent," the adjutant whispered, "The imperial army is also at war on the Oasis, and the Poka Oasis as the gateway has fallen. "
"It’s no wonder." Prince Sotorosu took a breath~IndoMTL.com~As long as anyone in Aden knows the importance of the Oasis to the Aden area, now, the empire has suddenly moved from the north to the south. War starts, so it’s no wonder that His Majesty the King can’t sit still. Toblas, Deputy Chief of the Military Affairs Department of the Kingdom of Aden, Commander of the Fourth Army of Aden, and Fourth Army of Aden has the title of King’s Guards in the Aden Army. It is an important military force that protects the capital of Eero. This force is not allowed to be sent to the capital of Eero in non-emergency situations. This time, His Majesty the King transferred this guard force out of the capital of Aden, and it will have offensive mania. Toblas sent it to show that the king was dissatisfied with his delay in launching the expected counterattack after he arrived in the south. Although he is a prince, he does not have a military position. It is okay to suppress the generals in these places. Toblas, who is the undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, is very difficult.
Not to mention, the entire Aden knew that the Fourth Army could not leave the capital for a long time. Toblas was also famous for his arrogance and aggressiveness. The Fourth Army under his command was not only well-equipped, but most of them were It is composed of enthusiastic and combative young officers. He is even more loyal to His Majesty. For the Fourth Army of Aden, he is almost completely unable to restrain himself. Therefore, this is forcing himself to take a quick fight!
