Chapter 103: Sending troops to the Kingdom of Elt

The origins of the New World feminist movement have been disputed because the abandoned barracks where Prince Hamel gave his speech was located at the junction of the administrative realms of Hope City and Byron City. Therefore www.biquge.info the residents of Byron City believed that the origin of the feminist movement was in Byron City, and the residents of Hope City believed that the origin of the feminist movement was in Hope City, so eventually the Museum of the Origins of the Feminist Movement was built at the junction of the two cities and was jointly managed by the two cities.

Modern women may not be able to imagine what the world was like before the feminist movement, when most men saw women as possessions, and it would be a compliment to women if men addressed women in a new language possessive, such as "My Highness the Princess." It would be strange if someone now called someone else in the possessive case of a new language, and not be beaten.

In a sense, the feminist movement led directly to the outbreak of the slave emancipation movement. The original group of feminists were committed to the emancipation of all women, so they spread Prince Hame's speech, which was arbitrarily titled "You Are Human", among the female **. As a result, the female ** subordinate did not react much to this, but the male ** subordinate was enlightened, which eventually led to the worldwide slave riot.

At the time of the outbreak of the Great Rebellion, the Byronic Empire had just launched a counteroffensive, so many historians believe that this Great Slave Rebellion was carefully planned by the Byronic family. In fact, the Byronic Empire was also affected by the riots, and was influenced by the laws of the Ilibian people, which had a clause to deprive prisoners of their citizenship, and those who were deprived of their citizenship would be reduced to slavery for life, which is often referred to as "criminal slaves".

Slaves who are convicts do not have the right to life, property, marriage, custody and maintenance, and are many times more miserable than their contemporaries. It is often said on the Internet that the laws of the empire are not humane at all, and stealing bread can lead to the loss of citizenship, and there are people who slander the royal family for this reason.

But the problem is that with the policy of the Empire, there is no need for people to steal bread even if they are extremely poor. If you have the ability to work, you can go to the relevant poverty alleviation department to "borrow" a little food, and then follow the instructions of the department to do what you can, clean up small advertisements in urban areas and so on. If you don't have the ability to work, then you don't have to worry. Because you are a beneficiary of the Law on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities, why don't you just go to the "Disability Living Center"? Besides, you can't do any work, how can you still be able to steal bread? It's not logical at all!

Under the Empire's poverty alleviation policy, anyone who broke the law and committed a crime did not deserve mercy. Poverty is not a reason to commit crimes, there is an idiom called "poor is thinking about change", of course its original meaning is not this meaning, but we can extend it to this aspect. If you are poor, you must find a way not to be poor, but doing it does not mean that you can use unscrupulous means, or even use criminal means to seek benefits. You need to find a way to do it under the premise of legality, which is the way that a citizen should get rich.

Back to business. At that time, there were also riots in the "slavery" that was responsible for managing the slaves of criminals, but the riots were quickly suppressed, so the Byronic Empire was not directly affected by the riots. However, after the slave rebellion in various countries, a large number of slaves who succeeded in the rebellion fled to the territory of the Byronic Empire. They were armed, hostile to the rich and powerful, and even to the freedmen, and it took a great deal of effort for the Byronic Empire to pacify these slaves.

At that time, the Kingdom of Ogus had not yet been formally incorporated into the Byronic Empire, so at the beginning of the Great Slave Revolt, the Kingdom of Eugus was still an independent state. After the Great Slave Revolt ended, the country and six other allies of the Byronic Empire had to be incorporated into the Byronic Empire. After that, the Byronic Empire had to help them clean up the mess, which consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and energy, and even the advance of the counteroffensive was slowed down because of this.

Although it is a bit sudden, let's go back in time to January 1, 161 in the new calendar.

On this day, the Kingdom of Elt abruptly tore up a treaty of military alliance with the House of Byron and declared war on the Central Powers. On the same day that the diplomatic ambassador informed the Byrons family of the news, the 500,000 Ert troops that had been deployed in the border area attacked the Byrons Empire in three ways.

One of them prepared to cross the Rimi Mountains and take the capital of the Byronic Empire. As a result, before they could cross the Rimi Mountains, the well-armed Byronic army crossed the Rimi Mountains first, and condescendingly launched a stormy attack on the Ert army, which had not yet launched an attack formation.

Some people may find it strange that the Byrons Empire has been established, and the coalition forces have suffered a lot of defeats, shouldn't the Elt Kingdom abandon the encirclement network coalition army and hug the thighs of the Byrons Empire? In fact, the Alt royal family originally thought so, but at this time, the usurper suddenly stood up and said that Leah and Leah's children have the right to claim the throne of the Elt Kingdom, and now the Byron Empire is clearly going to conquer the whole world by force, even if the Elt Kingdom can hide for a while, it can't hide for a lifetime!

The usurpers did this only to get the Elt Kingdom to declare war on the Byronic Empire, so that they could install Leah or Hamel as kings as soon as possible. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, when Leah or Hamel becomes king, won't the spring of the usurper come soon?

The usurper had a good idea, but unfortunately Leah and Hamel didn't want to be any Alt kings at all. From the very beginning, Leah wanted to use them to provide various conveniences for the grand strategy of the Byronic Empire.

The aristocratic feudal system of the Elt Kingdom did not do the Elts any good, and Leah resented the feudal nobles who despised the people from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, only a man like Maier was worthy of being a nobleman, because he always had the people in his heart, and he would never betray them at any time.

It is a pity that the Elts have become accustomed to the feudal rule of the aristocracy, and the only way to make them abandon their old ideas and accept the rule of the Byrons family is to conquer by force. Where there is war, there must be sacrifice, and for the future of the Elts, Leah can only sacrifice the lives of a small number of Elts, that is, the lives of the Elt soldiers.

The Elt army responsible for the attack on the city of Byron was an elite army, with as many as 100,000 soldiers. However, there were more Byronic troops ambushed on the Rimi Mountains, with four Tairong elf legions.

With the cooperation of the usurper, the Byronic Empire has learned of all the offensive plans of the Elt Kingdom. Before the Elt Army began to operate, the Byronic Empire quietly deployed the four Tairong elf legions in the Rimi Mountains. Because it was a mountainous battle with primitive terrain, it was difficult to transport heavy weapons, and it was difficult for cavalry to play a role.

Therefore, the four Tairong elf legions left their heavy weapons and war horses at the foot of the mountain, leaving the artillery and some cavalry to guard. The remaining infantry and dismounted cavalry all went up the hill to take part in the ambush of the Elt army. The Byronic Army had more than 120,000 ambush troops, which means that the Byronic Army had more than 120,000 new rifles and an impressive firepower.

The route of the Elt army has been completely mastered by the Byronic army, and when the Elt army marches to the halfway up the mountain, the Byronic army suddenly kills from the mountain and fires at the Elt army from multiple directions, and at the same time the two wings advance down the mountain at a constant speed, and strive to surround the Elt army while establishing crossfire. In just one minute, the Byronic army poured more than a million rounds of ammunition on the Erte army, killing more than 2,000 people on the spot and wounding more than 10,000 people, and the advance force of the Erte army was almost completely annihilated.

The Elt army was trapped halfway up the mountain, and in just five minutes it was simply impossible to launch an attack formation. In addition, their army is dominated by heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, and even if they launch an attack formation, they will attack from the back, and they will not be able to give full play to the advantages of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry. Therefore, those who survived could only find cover on the spot to hide, and did not dare to take the lead at all.

The usurper's troops took the opportunity to shout surrender, knowing that the Byronic army would ambush here, so their army hid in the rear during the march and was not hit by the Byronic army. The Ayrt army, which was completely suppressed, saw that the people in the rear surrendered first, and they also surrendered after they had no intention of fighting again.

In the process of receiving the surrendered troops, many of the wounded of the Elt Army died of their injuries. The final result of this ambush was that 5,712 of the Elt army were killed and 8,866 wounded, and a total of 155,964 were captured, including the soldiers and civilians, and 22,520 usurpers defected, seized countless baggage, and seized the mouth of the tunnel on the other side of the Rimi Mountains.

With the cooperation of the usurpers, the Byronic army captured all the Elt troops guarding the tunnel without firing a single shot, so that the Byronic army had another 3,200 prisoners.

In the other two battlefields, the Elt army was also defeated. In just a few days, the 500,000 soldiers of the Elt Kingdom were either killed or captured, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. Before the Elt nobles could regret their decision, the usurper erected a counter-flag at Leah's behest, leading tens of thousands of elites to fight back.

Fortunately, the royal family of Ayrt kept an eye on it before setting out on the expedition, and did not send out the most elite Ayrt personal guard cavalry, and also left some elite troops in Lotton City to defend the city. At first, the royal family of Elt wanted to negotiate with the usurper, who said that they would withdraw as soon as King Elt issued an edict to give up the throne to Leah.

How could the Alt royal family agree to this request? They immediately gathered their armies and wanted to wipe out the usurpers. However, the usurpers had no intention of fighting the royal army at all, and Leah did not want her own people to kill each other, so she let the usurpers attack just to force the king to abdicate. As long as Leah is temporarily on the throne, she can invite the Byronic army into the kingdom of Elt and manage to uproot the entire noble class. Since the usurper's army could not frighten the royal family, it could only let the Byronic army directly enter the Elt Kingdom.

The usurper withdrew their troops to their territory, and the royal army did not dare to pursue them, so they could only withdraw their troops back to the city of Lodon. Leah asked the usurpers to take advantage of the rest of the Byronic army to win over the domestic nobles, and try to make the Elt royal family abdicate peacefully. The usurpers wooed many nobles, but the royal family of Alt refused to give way.

On June 1, 161 AH, the Byronic Empire began repatriating coalition captives. One hundred and fifty thousand Elt captives returned to their countries in four batches, and their personal belongings were returned, in addition to weapons and equipment. It is impossible for the Elt nobles to leave the elite warriors alone, they need to buy new weapons and equipment for these warriors, but the Elt nobles no longer have enough money. In desperation, they could only try their best to get money, and even did not hesitate to deduct the salaries of the low-level soldiers.

On August 28th, just as the Byronic army was preparing to send troops to the Elt Kingdom, a slave rebellion broke out in the Elt Kingdom. Although it was called a slave riot, it was not only slaves who participated in the riot, but also many poor people. For example, the yeoman farmers who were forced to annex land by the nobles and landlords and were forced to become tenants, the handicraftsmen who were exploited by the nobles and merchants, and the low-level soldiers who had not been paid for a long time, all stood with the slaves.

The usurper spread the news to the Bluestone Palace as quickly as possible, and at Leah's suggestion, Maier immediately decided to support the rioters of the Elt Kingdom, and then let the Byronic Army enter the Elt Kingdom under the banner of "overthrowing the feudal rule of the aristocracy". The Byronic Empire caught the usurper by surprise, and when the Byronic army came to the door and sent people to persuade them to surrender, they realized that they were being used by Leah.

On September 30, the royal family and the usurpers united. They accused the Byronic Empire of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and the Byronic Empire said that you came to fight me first, and said that I interfered in the internal affairs of other countries? The Elt nobles spread rumors among the rioters that the riot was a conspiracy of the Byronic Empire.

In the face of foreign enemies, the Elts have always been united. The Elts who participated in the rebellion believed the nobles, and they coaxed the foreigners in the rebels that the Byrons were worse than the Elt nobles, and then the rebels would not cooperate with the Byronic army.

Some Elts pretended to surrender to the Byronic army, providing them with false information, causing great losses to the Byronic army. As a last resort, the Byronic army had to temporarily withdraw its troops, leaving only one Tajon elf legion to be stationed near the exit of the tunnel in the Rimi Mountains.

As soon as the Byronic army withdrew, the kingdom of Elt was in chaos again, and this situation made Leah entangled. Now send troops to fight back, the Elts will unite and unite with the outside world, if they don't fight back, the Elts will kill each other, which can be described as a dilemma. Mel says that this can only be done naturally, and that Leah has no better choice but to follow Maier's arrangement.
