Chapter 85: node

"Standing! Ready! Fire!" With a command, the 1st regiment and 3 regiments on the front began to pour firepower at the enemy on the opposite side. The battlefield once again returned to the rhythm of queuing to shoot, and because of the addition of heavy machine guns, it became extremely efficient.

The troops of the Arante Empire collapsed, of course, there is no suspense. With the 1st regiment and 3 regiments joining the battle, even the Saint Demon Empire's giant horse cavalry can't penetrate the front, facing the mortal empire's troops. Overkill.

Within a few minutes, the Arante Empire was so proud that the Royal Guards, which believed that they could even rival the army of the Holy Demon Empire, were almost completely wiped out on the battlefield. The remaining troops rushed to the east to hide in Tibet, and even the effective organization was lost.

General Zorn was dragged back to retreat, his eyes full of unwillingness and madness. He felt that he should have died here, in this land that made him desperate. It is a pity that his men can't let him die here like this, after all, General Zorn is still a nominal general of the Arante Empire.

"Retreat! Your lord! The cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire must have retreated. We hurried back to the camp, and we have no time to make any plans!" An officer supported General Zorn, watching the chaotic army wailing. Persuade.

After all, Zorn didn’t really want to be martyred on the battlefield. He just had a little thought, but this thought became more and more intense as the gunfire of the Ailan Hill grenadiers on the opposite side became more and more intense. Like the troops under his command, they were wiped out.

So he didn't speak, was pulled by his hand, and retreated towards the camp. They gathered the defeated soldiers along the way, and in the end did not even gather 2,000 people. Who could have imagined that an army of 30,000 would be so defeated and retreat?

But when Zon finally got up and retreated to the base camp with the defeated soldiers, he found that this place was no different from the battlefield.

The corpses piled up like a mountain, and the camp was dilapidated. At a glance, I knew that fierce fighting had taken place here, and it was a very tragic one. Even General Zorn didn't dare to enter the camp, and only sent two henchmen in to ask what happened.

As a result, the two confidants came back with Prince Rumbak's people to pass on the news. Soon after Zorn left with the troops, an organized rebellion broke out. The captains of tens of thousands of teams suddenly attacked the main camp where Lumbak was located. As a result, the two sides fought fiercely and lost thousands of people to each other.

Then the captains of these 10,000-person teams saw that the sneak attack did not work. They led the troops around the camp and surrendered to the Ailan Hill garrison in Marica under a white flag... Now Lumbak is still counting the number of losses, and it is estimated that even the surrender will bring civil strife. The damage caused was at least 40,000 people.

An army of 200,000 mighty and mighty when it set off, it has lost half of it without even regaining a city... and sent 30,000 captives to the other party. This can be said to be since the establishment of the Arante Empire. , The biggest joke in the history of war.

It is no longer the time to shirk responsibility, and now whether it is Zorn or the Prince of Rembach, they can't bear the gangster in front of them. Using hundreds of thousands of troops to fight this kind of gambling on national luck, even the Emperor himself cannot bear it if he loses.

"Retreat now! Isn't you waiting here to find death? The Ailan Hill troops on the flanks are about to fight over, and they will be stuck at that time, and they will lose tens of thousands of people!" Having seen the strength of the opponent's field troops, Zorn is very Know his own situation now.

With the last of these troops hurried to retreat, fortunately, in the end, keeping the little blood and bones left in the Arante Empire is the only thing he can do now. If the remaining 100,000 troops were to be lost, then Arante would not even have the qualifications to seek peace.

But... just want to go, how can it go so smoothly? When facing giant cavalry or dragon knights, the cavalry of the steppe empire is as weak as a quail. But when faced with the defeated generals of the Arante Empire, the cavalry of the Steppe Empire had an infinite and huge advantage.

These cavalry can hunt and kill along the way, biting the Arrant Empire forces and preventing them from retreating southward at full speed. As long as they can reduce the retreat speed of the Arrant Empire, the main force of Ailan Hill with a large number of carriages can keep chasing the troops of the Arrant Empire.

At that time, neither Farud, the important town of the Arante Empire, nor Tunsk, the gateway to the royal city, will not be able to hold it... At that time, the royal city has become the front line. Will Emperor Hook kill Zorn and Lumbak? It's hard to tell if you vent your hatred.

"Retreat immediately! Take away all the formed troops, leaving behind the heavy losses of the troops! Hurry! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" General Zorn issued a series of orders after entering the camp, the Arante Empire The troops retreated decisively, and even dropped 20,000 old and weak remnants, which were left to Ailan Hill as a decoy.

…

"If we have enough troops to go south, then Farud will be ours." Chris looked at the map with some regret and sighed with his arms folded: "Who would have thought that we fought so smoothly in this battle..."

"If we forcefully take Farud, our front will be too long. It is difficult to supply ammunition, and Farud will become a quagmire that traps us and a logistical nightmare." Wilkes Station Beside Chris, he spoke.

No matter which direction you look at, Wilkes is very similar to Frankie, the veteran general of the Arante Empire: they both attach importance to defense and are willing to carefully calculate the logistical support and the strength of their own hands.

They are all very powerful tactical masters, especially good at consolidating the victories already achieved. The veteran is prudent and cautious is their strategy of using troops, and their creed of victory is to not give the enemy any chance even if they don't want a chance.

"Yeah, the meat is all simmered, but we didn't prepare the fork... it's really tangled." Chris sighed again, and took his attention away from the handy but troublesome Farud city.

Then he looked at Bourgeois, the officer stationed in Maritza, the two most surrendering generals in Hanhai City, and now they just supported the frontal Ailan Hill line of defense: one was the then Lord Wilkes of Hanhai City. One was Bourgeois, the deputy general of Hanhai at the time, which is really interesting when I think of it.

"Bourgeois, what do you think we should do with the Arrant soldiers who surrendered? Including those in Bud's direction, and here, it's not a small number." Chris looked at each other and asked.

Although on the frontal battlefield, Bourgeois and Wilkes faced the Dragon Knights of the Holy Demon Empire and the giant horse cavalry. The fight was very exciting and exciting, but in fact the great victory of Ailan Hill happened. At both ends of the front.

At the far west, Korya commanded his troops to defeat the Arrant Empire forces that were counterattacking at the same time, and captured at least 50,000 soldiers, taking a huge territory, and the results were magnificent.

On the easternmost side of the battle line, General Modler commanded his troops to take the magic concentrate and control a large area east of Wallavo. In this battle, Ailan Hill obtained the most important magic concentrate resource and a valuable food production area.

You know, after this cruel war, seeing the time has entered the summer, the grain harvest is imminent, and having a new grain-producing area is also a very exciting thing.

"The captives should be sent back to the rear to participate in infrastructure construction! After all, the labor shortage in the rear is not a day or two." Bourgeois thought for a while and replied: "However, the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered are still trained. Not bad, you can use it directly."

The lack of qualified troops is also a serious problem that plagued Ailan Hill. No matter how fast they expanded their troops, after suddenly occupying so many vast territories, their strength was stretched again.

There are already 27 regiments of Airanhill troops, and now there are 10 cities and large castles that need to be directly controlled. In addition to the vast land between these cities, hundreds of thousands of Airanhill grenadier troops are obviously Some are rare.

Therefore, Chris really hopes to be able to directly use the surrendered 30,000 Arante Empire troops. He hopes to disperse these soldiers and subsidize the expanded troops, so that these surrenders can be used in the safest way. The enemy troops are coming.

"As far as possible, arrange these troops to the Volavor area." After Chris made some calculations, he said: "Away from the direction where the Holy Demon Empire may counterattack, close to Alantra, let them bully and bully the soft first. Persimmon, it’s good to accumulate some confidence."

"The remaining thing is how to beware of the Holy Demon Empire's counterattack..." Wilkes looked at the two cities on the west side and said to Chris: "The Holy Demon Empire's counterattack is not necessarily only from the south. "

In fact, among the three mortal countries bordering the Holy Demon Empire, the Dothan Empire that is the farthest away is aside for the time being, and the Arrant Empire and the Higgs Kingdom are the closest ones. In order for the Holy Demon Empire to attack Ailan Hill, it is actually a long way to take the Arrant Empire to the south, passing directly through the Higgs Kingdom and getting closer.

Moreover, after passing through the Higgs Kingdom, they directly entered the hinterland of Ailan Hill, which is the most important and most industrialized area of ​​Serris. Directly hitting this area is the most lethal weakening of Ailan Hill.

Furthermore, as long as the city of Seris is captured, Ailan Hill will be blocked into three stages that cannot support each other, and the battlefield situation will take a turn for the worse. So for Ailan Hill, the most important defensive node has always been the city of Serris behind him. This is why the teaching group has been stationed in Seris City.
