Chapter 205: A Sudden Army
More than 20,000 counterinsurgency troops, led by General Anthony, marched all the way south, and had already entered the territory of Aberdeen Province.
The new 8,000 Royal Legions, like the soldiers of Hanover, were treated with Anthony's original method of marching training.
When the Hanoverian soldiers, who had been training for some time, planned to take a good look at the embarrassment of the other party as people who had come over, and look for a sense of superiority in these strong troops in the country, the other party surprised them slightly.
The Royal Corps is worthy of being the strongest warrior selected from the best of the best after layers of rigorous tests. In terms of individual martial arts cultivation, it may not be a collection of the strongest in the country. But when it comes to military literacy, they are much stronger than the army of Hanover.
In the case of Anthony's training method, after the initial scramble, the Hanover units are now well-organized and look quite well-trained.
The Royal Corps joined later than them, came into contact with this training method later than them, and spent nearly half of the time learning and practicing than them. However, in the end, the effect came out of them, but they left behind these "people who have come over" and "predecessors".
Even compared with the 1,000 noble private soldiers who were trained earlier, it was similar, not much different.
Anthony saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart.
Comparing the military formations of the Oss continent with the contemporaries of the other world, Anthony found something interesting and useful.
Due to the differences in the direction of the development of civilizations, the emphasis of the combat forms of the armies of the two worlds is also markedly different.
The army battles in the other world emphasize the whole more, and the specific expression is the formation. No matter how well-trained an army is, as long as the formation is broken up, they will not be able to exert any combat effectiveness.
The power of the individual in such a large-scale battle is insignificant, if not completely negligible.
But on the continent of Oss, the situation is completely different.
The combat power of top martial arts powerhouses is extremely amazing, and it is simply a fantasy for one or several powerhouses to join forces against an army in another world. But in Oston, it's a normal thing.
An archmage cooperated with a large and carefully arranged magic array, and the forbidden spell released by one of them was enough to slaughter an unsuspecting army of 10,000 people.
Of course, the number of top powerhouses is extremely rare. But even if it is a mid-level and low-level professional, its combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary people. They are scattered throughout the armies, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the armies, and often playing a decisive role in battle.
It is precisely because of the powerful role of individual strength that the army building ideas of the first teams in the Oss continent are inclined to the direction of improving the soldiers' martial arts cultivation, and the study of formational battle formations is placed in an extremely secondary position.
Of course, Ostrum also has formations, that is, the most basic round formations and square formations. Perhaps add to this the so-called new formation derived from the slight changes and adjustments of these two basic formations. More and more, there will be none.
is as strong as Riga's famous Frankie, and what he is famous for is only the accurate grasp of fighter planes. When to defend, when to attack, which unit of the enemy to attack, and so on. In terms of formation arrangement, it is inclined to be extensive, at most it is divided into front and rear armies, left and right wings. When it comes to the application and change of the subtleties of the battle array, he hasn't even touched the door yet.
Other famous generals on the mainland are roughly the same.
Because of this, Anthony was able to resist the opponent's fierce attack in a precarious situation with a battle formation that was more than a step higher than Frankie's in the first place.
That was only the result of the Aberdeen army's unfamiliarity with Anthony's command style, and the fact that the troops had not been trained accordingly, and the so-called "fine operation" was only relative to the Ostross continent. If there is enough time for Anthony to train his troops in the otherworldly training method, he is confident that he will create a peerless and powerful army that will shock the world.
The exquisite and powerful battle formations of the other world, coupled with the strong individual strength of the local warriors. With such a strong combination, what kind of terrifying combat power will finally break out, Anthony is also full of expectations.
At this stage, however, this is only in the imagination stage. The situation in the glorious empire is very tense, and Anthony cannot be allowed to slowly train the world's strong army in his heart. Except for the 300 Aberdeen soldiers who had been trained by Tang Feng for the longest time, and had initially met Anthony's requirements, the other troops were still far behind.
With this in the current situation, Anthony has no other way but to fight while training and adjusting.
After entering the hinterland of Aberdeen Province, Anthony's marching training finally came to an end.
Although it is unlikely that the Taranto rebels will pass through the layers of defense in front and appear in the rear of Aberdeen Province on a large scale without realizing it, there is a certain risk after all. Anthony, for the sake of safety, ordered the resumption of normal marches. In addition to ensuring the safety of the troops, but also to prepare for the upcoming big war.
As a result, the pace of the march increased suddenly.
It was getting late on this day, and the army had just stopped and set up camp to rest.
Suddenly, a knight galloped along the official road on horseback. Under the bewildered gaze of all the soldiers, the knight rushed straight to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and then turned over and dismounted, said a few words to the guard, and then ran in quickly.
Immediately, the big tent of the Chinese army issued an order to urgently summon all senior generals to discuss the matter!
When the last person arrived, Anthony put down the eight-hundred-mile urgent document in his hand.
The first words he said surprised everyone present.
"Urgent report from the front: in the south of the province of Burgundy, a Riga army of considerable size has been discovered."
"What?!"
As soon as the words fell, it was as if thousands of flies had suddenly been released into the field, buzzing and buzzing into the sky. The generals and commanders were all staring blank and asking incredulous questions, but none of them could say a word of substance.
Their minds were blank at the moment, and they had completely lost the ability to think.
It's because the news is too sudden and too impactful.
The Riga Emperor ** team is strong, far surpassing the glorious empire.
This is a consensus, and it is clear from top to bottom, from His Majesty the King to a small soldier.
King Beckenbauer dared to accept Antony's proposal and turned the table with the Riga Empire, not because he was hot-headed, nor did he suddenly become a master. The key is that the province of Edinburgh, with Mattesias, has the Huaishui Pass, which is the world's male pass, as a barrier.
Everyone still has confidence in Grand Duke Mattosias and Huaishui Pass, after all, he has been dealing with the Riga army almost all his life. After the big and small battles were fought, no matter what they suffered and took advantage of, anyway, they didn't let the Riga people step into the Huaishui Pass defense line for half a step.
And as long as you hold the Huaishui Pass, no matter how strong and ferocious your Riga Empire is, you can only bark outside the door, how can you bear me?
This is the only reliance of the glorious empire, and it is also the source of confidence in this national war.
But now there is an army of the Riga Empire in the province of Burgundy, behind the eastern barrier of the Empire?
Without the barrier of Xiongguan, the two ** teams fought in the field, and the generals did not have any confidence that their side could achieve victory.
Don't look at the high morale of the Taranto rebels led by the Riga general Franci when they led their troops, it seemed that victory was within reach. That's because it's the army of the province of Taranto that is on the side. If the opponent is replaced by the Riga Imperial Iron Horse......
This news is too shocking, and the hidden message behind it is also too terrifying, no wonder these bigwigs in the army are so out of shape.
In the midst of this noisy scene, a loud and calm voice suddenly sounded.
"May I ask the general, did the official document mention that Huaishui Pass has been broken and fallen?"
Tang Feng stretched out his hands, separated his colleagues who were blocking in front like headless flies, and walked out with his head held high.
After Anthony said a word, he sat quietly and watched the reactions of the people below without saying a word. His face was calm, neither panicked by the sudden change in the situation, nor disappointed and angry by the performance of his generals.
"Nope."
The young general's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of appreciation in his tone.
I had just seen this urgent letter myself, and I didn't get angry with anyone. Tang Feng, like the other officers, learned the news of the Riga army from his own mouth. But everyone else, including the senior officers of the Royal Legion, panicked as if the end was coming. Only Tang Feng could still keep his composure, and immediately thought of the most crucial point.
The high-ranking members of the army in the big tent listened to the two of them, and they also came back to their senses, and although they had doubts in their hearts, they still bowed their heads with shame on their faces and stood back in their positions.
The performance of myself and others just now is indeed too embarrassing. After all, he is also the commander of an army, with thousands of soldiers. As soon as he heard the news of the enemy's appearance, he panicked, as if he was about to be defeated and killed. If you let the soldiers below see your bear-like appearance, what face will you have to lead them to charge into battle in the future?
At the same time, they also looked at Tang Feng who was standing in front of them with gratitude and admiration.
Fortunately, Tang Fengqian always asked questions, which made everyone come back to their senses and did not continue to make a fool of themselves. I owe myself and others boast of rich military experience and profound literacy, but I didn't expect that they would be inferior to a young officer who has been in the army for less than a year.
It is no wonder that he can be favored by the great generals, and this composure alone is better than all the generals and commanders present who have much higher ranks than him.
Tang Feng, who didn't know that he had been looked down at a few times, continued to ask: "Since Huaishui Pass is still in the hands of our army, where did these Riga people come from?" ”
"That's right." "yes, yes."
“……”
Tang Feng's question is also their doubt.
Huaishui Pass is the most important barrier for the Glorious Empire to resist the invasion of the Riga, and it is precisely by relying on this majestic pass that the Brilliant Empire can maintain peace and stability in the hinterland for decades under the prying eyes of its evil neighbors.
If they had found another way into the glorious empire, the empire would have fallen for a long time. Why bother to break the army and lose the generals in front of the strong Xiongguan, and break the blood flow when you hit your head, but you still can't make any progress.
