Chapter 175: The Great Change in Tiannan (2) The White Lion Invades the South

The weather in October in the south of China is still hot, especially for those who are already anxious, and the heat is unbearable. See. Wool, Chinese net

Mi Kun walked back and forth in the palace, Longqing City urgently reported that the White Lion Kingdom had raised 100,000 troops, and had gradually surrounded Longqing City, hoping to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and near the Panya Fortress, Nikun's son Niertai had gathered an army of 150,000 and had already controlled the Panya Fortress and the surrounding cities.

The people around Mi Kun, there are actually many people who have surrendered to your Niertai, and Marquis Ruan Qing took advantage of Mi Kun's embarrassment to force Mi Kun to promote his own title, and asked to expand the fief, Mi Kun had no choice but to agree, asking Ruan Qing to send troops as soon as possible to solve the problem of Panya Fortress.

After Ruan Qing was promoted to marquis, he began to suppress Cha Wang, who had not liked him before, and sent troops to attack Cha Wang's fiefdom and annex all Cha Wang's forces.

After Nguyen Thanh annexed most of the nobles, he did not send troops to the fortress of Panya, but returned to his fiefdom and gathered heavy troops to become a warlord.

The problem of Panya Fortress was not solved, Ruan Qing's problem was put on the table again, Mi Kun felt that he was about to collapse, but at this time, Su Paxi, who had disappeared before, played the banner of the three princesses of the royal family, seized the White Stripe City in the south, gathered 30,000 troops, and controlled more than a dozen cities in the south.

Mi Kun suddenly recalled Mi Luonla, who disappeared many years ago, how many years has passed? This third princess has not seen anyone alive or dead, why has she reappeared today? Could it be that someone has raised troops under her banner? But whether it is true or not, there is nothing she can do now, she can only wait for everyone to enter the royal capital, no! There must be someone who can save me! Mi Kun began to search for everyone who could help him in his memory, and his black hair turned gray overnight, but he still couldn't think of anyone who could help him.

Eliza's plan to march was originally to attack the fortress of Panya, but was stopped by Ian, and for the best wisdom of her subordinates, Eliza cared very much about Ian's suggestion, and let Ian put forward her own opinion.

Ian gave an offensive route, first taking Longqing City, an important town near Xisa City, controlling the grain production areas around Longqing, and then taking advantage of the situation to control the Panwu Fortress south of Longqing City, so that he could firmly control all the areas north of Panwu City, but if he sent troops to the Panya Fortress, then it was bound to engage Niertai, and this kind of meaningless consumption was not advisable.

Although Eliza is jealous of the strategic location of the Panya Fortress and the abundant material reserves, the current situation is indeed not suitable for premature consumption of strength, although Ian's proposal is a little different from her own ideas, but it is very good at the level of interests, Eliza agreed with Ian's suggestion, and then sent 100,000 troops to attack and prepare to occupy Longqing City.

The general who led the army this time is called Stanley, one of Eliza's loyal dogs, Stanley's military talent is very poor, this time he can be a general is completely Eliza's special care, and Stanley's temperament is irritable, often abuses soldiers, and is very unpopular in the army, but he is the first person who follows Eliza's side the most, whether it is qualifications or seniority, others are beyond reach, and everyone dares to be angry.

The city defense of Longqing City is actually not strong, it exists as a commercial distribution center for the northern trade of the Giant Elephant Kingdom, but in such a place, Starley actually lost 30,000 people and did not capture it.

The war lasted nearly a month, and by the time Stanley took Longqing, his army had almost 50,000 dead.

All the lieutenants were very angry, and some even secretly sent secret protection to Eliza, but the deputy generals who sent the secret protection all died inexplicably, which greatly affected the morale of the remaining 50,000 troops, and stayed in Longqing City for repair.

Eliza wondered why Stanley had stayed in Longqing City for so long, but since he was his confidant, it wasn't a big deal if something went wrong, so didn't he win?

A few days later, Gareth went to the palace to report that Stanley's negligence had led to protests from the families of many soldiers, and that civilians in many places had refused to be drafted, making the logistics difficult.

Eliza was a little annoyed, these mud legs have turned the sky upside down? She implemented reforms to enhance national strength, not to protect the interests of these mud legs, these mud legs who don't know the height of the sky! If she dares to refuse to be drafted into the army, the knife in her hand is not an ornament.

"Jia Lisi, dispatch the White Lion Knights, this time we must recruit 50,000 people to supplement the troops on the front line, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

"Your Majesty, but... OUR REFORMS ... In doing so, reform ... ”

"The purpose of reform is to strengthen the country, not to let these mud legs do whatever they want, go ahead!

Jia Lie walked out in despair, he thought of Ian, and was going to find Ian to dissuade the queen, but after arriving at Ian's mansion, he learned that Ian had been out for many days, Jia Lie sighed, and was sad in his heart, if the White Lion Kingdom continues like this, not only will the national strength not be improved, but it will make the people lose trust, which is tantamount to destroying the foundation of the kingdom, but Her Majesty the Queen can't listen to anything!

Back then, I once believed that Worthen could change the Black Diamond Kingdom, but Worthen was only a strong army, and the livelihood of the people didn't care at all. He was born in a small aristocratic family, and through his own efforts over the years, he finally achieved certain achievements, but he slowly found that those are false and meaningless, everything is just a passing cloud, the White Lion Kingdom is not his backer, in the future, he must find a stable force and take refuge in a talented master, so that he and his family can get long-term development!

Garrison sent 50,000 reservists to Stanley, who led an army of 100,000 and continued to attack the fortress of Panwu.

Panwu Fortress originally had only 30,000 garrisons, but in the face of the menacing and greedy army of the White Lion Kingdom, countless homeless people who were looted joined the army, and the army of Panwu Fortress quickly increased to 60,000.

After Stanley's army arrived at the fortress of Panwu, they began to attack in turn, but the morale of the army was low, and several attacks were repulsed.

Enraged, Stanley began to hold the generals in the army accountable, began to beat some of them, and even had one officer who dared to resist being killed by Staley.

The next day, the army of the White Lion Kingdom suddenly lost many people, and there were only 40,000 people left in the 100,000 army, Stanley was furious, what happened? Couldn't do it? Since these people dared to flee, they would dare to kill themselves! If there are those who escape, catch one and kill the other!

A few days later, the siege stalled, and Starley was busy hunting down deserters, and only 30,000 men remained of the 100,000-strong army.

Most of the people in the Panwu Fortress have a grudge against the army of the White Lion Kingdom, and seeing that the army of the White Lion Kingdom has a problem, they began to divide into small groups to go out of the city to try, and the temptation slowly turned into an attack, and the 60,000 guards surrounded the 30,000 White Lion Kingdom army, and the two sides began a fierce fight.

Stanley followed Eliza to the north and south, and experienced countless bloody battles, this time was the most tragic battle he experienced in his life, although those southern soldiers did not even have a decent set of armor, but they rushed over like crazy, even if the people around him were elite, they could block the enemy army several times their own regardless of life and death.

Before it was evening, Starley's army was slaughtered, leaving Stanley alone to rush left and right, but no matter where he killed, there were always soldiers who were not afraid of death to come back to die.

Stanley's magic power was exhausted, his body was full of feather arrows, and he fell to the ground, before closing his eyes, Stanley suddenly envied Ian very much, why would a person who was obviously so poor in strength be appreciated by Her Majesty the Queen? Unwilling!

After Stanley's death, the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom regained Longqing City, and the nobles and commoners near Longqing City spontaneously joined the army again, and Longqing's army increased to 80,000.

Eliza was furious when she heard the news of the annihilation of the army, and immediately summoned Jareth, Ian, and others to the palace to meet her.

Eliza's face was full of frost, and she was angry with everyone: "What are you doing on this errand? Obviously you have a great opportunity to attack the fortress of Panya, but what are you going to fight Longqing City! Look, now that the army has been defeated, our strength has been greatly damaged, Ian, you tell me! What should we do now?"

Ian said calmly: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the current king of the Giant Elephant Country, Mi Kun, is isolated and helpless, and if we can control him, we can take over Mi Kun's name to conquer the various forces of the Giant Elephant Country, and make a huge amount of wealth, grain and grass from it! ”

Eliza calmed herself down for a while, thinking of the possibilities that Ian had mentioned, although Ian's previous advice was wrong and he had lost his army, Ian could always come up with a better proposal, and since he could get more money, he would try again according to Ian's method.

Eliza squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Then this time, Ian, Dominic, you two lead, this time I want to see a good result, otherwise, Ian, you can go to Bletchet to be a fisherman! Okay, that's it, let's go down!"

Eliza's heart felt infinitely annoyed, why is Ian's method so creative every time, why can't she think of it, doesn't that mean that she is not as smart as Ian? Eliza pressed a male pet under her, stepped on the male pet's neck, and applied nail polish to her toenails, hum! Ian, I hope you don't fail this time, otherwise I will send you back to the West!

Dominic is on his second expedition with Ian, and this time the army is not large, only 30,000 men, 10,000 white lion knights, 10,000 light ballista cavalry, and 10,000 reserves.

And Ian must rely on these 30,000 troops to fight from Longqing all the way to Sky City, and capture the king of the Giant Elephant Kingdom, if he fails to complete the mission, Ian will face severe punishment!

Dominic said, "Lord Ian, how can we defeat the army of Longqing City? I heard that there are already 100,000 troops there!"

Ian didn't answer, but looked at the map intently, and only replied after a moment: "Dominic, look here, this is the territory of the great nobleman Penny-Manu family, here we will get a lot of supplies, and as long as we defeat him, then the gate to the skyscraper will be unimpeded!"

Dominic was a little confused, and asked blankly, "Then won't we fight Longqing City?"

Ian smiled and said: "Fight! Find a fight, the people of Longqing City don't have to worry, you can win or lose in a battle!"

Dominic was surprised: "There are 100,000 troops there!

Ian said calmly: "How are the reservists trained? This time, let the reservists fight, and the decisive battle position is here!"

Dominic looked at the map, which was a sloping hillside, and the surrounding terrain was undulating and uneasy to command.

"Lord Ian, if you fight in this kind of terrain, it is not conducive to marching and commanding, can our reserve troops win in this kind of place?"

"Dominic, think about it, we only have less than 30,000 people, so you don't think it's easy to command, but the other side has nearly 100,000 people, so how can they command?"

"Ian-sama, I still haven't figured it out... ”

Ian smiled, without explaining too much, is there such a person around Eliza? The king is still worried that Eliza will become a hegemon... Such a person and such a subordinate, even if the king does not make a move, sooner or later he will be finished...

Ian divided the cavalry into four units, each under the command of the lieutenant generals, and they could march according to the established route, and they could command the battle independently.

And Dominic led the White Lion Knights, who had the strongest combat power, and after the other party was in chaos, they attacked the enemy's central main formation, and Ian himself led the reserve army to set up a defensive formation, waiting for the arrival of the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom.

When the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom heard that the White Lion Kingdom had only dispatched more than 10,000 people this time, they were contemptuous and dispatched 60,000 troops to attack Ian's position.

After seeing Ian's troops, the leading general of the Giant Elephant Kingdom almost burst out laughing, how could the White Lion Kingdom be such a fool who gave away people's heads, and 10,000 recruits wanted to fight with their own 60,000 troops?

Ian saw the opponent's army, did not panic, and calmly commanded his subordinates to arrange defenses.

The army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom dispatched a large army and began to charge, and under Ian's arrangement, the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom was actually blocked by Ian's reserve army, and the two armies were entangled together.

In terms of combat power, both sides are recruits and don't have much combat experience, but Ian's excellent command skills and strange tactics make the Giant Elephant Country's troops completely unable to take advantage, and in addition to the complex terrain that is not easy to command, the Giant Elephant Country's troops began to fall into passivity.

When the two armies were completely entangled and unable to separate, Ian fired arrows into the sky, and the light ballista cavalry ambushed on both flanks of the Elephant army dispatched and began to shoot the army of the Giant Elephant.

Dominic saw that the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom was scattered, and dispatched the white lion knight to attack the opponent's own formation, easily killing the opponent's general, and then the white lion knight who was ambushed behind the enemy army launched a final charge, and the 60,000 army was completely defeated.

When Dominic stood at the head of the city, he realized that his army had won, but why was the victory so simple, so unbelievable! Ian was really a military genius!

After taking Longqing City, the White Lion Kingdom sent 20,000 reserve troops to garrison it, and Ian left more than 6,000 people who had survived the previous battle to defend it, leading an army of 40,000 to attack the Panwu Fortress.

Most of the garrisons of Panwu Fortress were defeated troops who fled back from Longqing City, for them, the last battle was too poor, and they were raided by the other party for no reason, and then there was no one to command, which led to the rout of the army. After collecting information, the defender of the Panwu Fortress didn't feel how powerful the other party was, it was just luck, after all, the other party only had tens of thousands of people, and the Panwu Fortress had nearly 80,000 people, even if one person spitted, he could drown the other party!

The armies of both sides formed up on a plain, Ian's army looked like new recruits, and some even peed their pants in fear when they saw the army of the Elephant Nation.

With a wave of his hand, the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom ordered the army to charge! This time, the army of the White Lion Kingdom was beaten and scattered and fled, and the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom chased all the way to a narrow terrain.

Ian sensed that it was almost there, and gave the signal, and the elite cavalry lying in ambush appeared from both flanks of the enemy army and launched a deadly surprise attack.

The longbowmen of the Giant Elephant Kingdom were all left behind, and after the army was pulled by the light crossbow cavalry, most of them were killed, and the rest of the soldiers began to flee frantically, but behind them were the highly mobile white lion knights, and the 80,000 troops killed more than 60,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 fled back, and when they fled to the outside of the Panwu Fortress, they found that the fortress was already full of white lion flags! It turned out that Ian arranged for people to wear the costumes of giant elephant soldiers to deceive the city, and the 20,000 soldiers were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.

In this battle, the 20,000 reservists were basically all killed, but the elite troops were basically not reduced, and the impregnable Panwu Fortress was also in the bag, and Dominic felt as if he was in a dream when he climbed to the top of the city... What's the situation? This is a victory? Dominic pinched his thigh, it hurt!
