Chapter 080: Blood Rose - The Great War Resumes
Along with the melting of the snow and ice is the hatred of the civilians near Celta, although the wolf smoke and beacon fire of the past have not been dispersed for long, but everyone has begun to work intensively in the spring ploughing, which is different from the previous state, which was previously cultivated to meet the country's taxes, and now the cultivation can be rewarded, and everyone's faces are filled with happy smiles.
Acus organized a large and meticulous system of officials, and after the spring ploughing began, it counted and supervised the agriculture of all nearby territories, so as to avoid a situation where a few people would enrich themselves by annexing land.
Milu has continued to recruit talent in the past few months, and the Blood Rose Mage Regiment has expanded to 150 people, and the Mage Guardian Corps has increased to 300 people.
The previous new army also had a certain combat effectiveness through hard training, and Milou expanded Celta's infantry to 20,000 and the shortbowmen to 5,000.
The infantry of the gunin army was expanded to 15,000 men, and the archers to 8,000.
Mi Lu set his sights on the Giant Elephant Nation's important town of Falling Star City, where legend has it that the Demon of World Destruction landed countless years ago, and later generations called this place the Land of Starfall.
It is not known whether there are any world-destroying demons here, but it is certain that there is a huge amount of iron ore here.
In order to keep a firm grip on the iron ore here, the Giant Elephant Kingdom established Meteor City here, and stationed a heavy army here.
The actual strength was 50,000 elite infantry, 10,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 longbowmen, 30,000 reservists, 5,000 patrols, and 20,000 private soldiers of the Manu family.
The defender defending this place is the current queen's cousin, Ananda Manu.
Ananda is an excellent general, a general who is both talented and talented, and of course he also has a fatal weakness, which is to be too obsessed with women.
Every spring, Ananda sends his soldiers to the surrounding villages to kidnap young girls, and the surrounding civilians are resentful, but dare not speak out.
Mi Lu felt that his current combat strength was still a little lacking, and applied to Gurus to mobilize 5,000 archers to support him, preparing to use troops against Meteor City.
Groulus felt that Milou's plan was too risky, and hurriedly flew a pigeon to deliver a report in the direction of Ammesvalon, and this time, he finally received a personal reply from George.
Uncle Gurus:
I have been canonized as Grand Duke of Ammesvalon by the Queen of Drifting Snow, and I have absolute dominion over all areas north of the Twin Cities.
The current strategic goal is clear, which is to continue to annex the lands of the other two countries, but not to start a war with the Giant Elephant Kingdom and the Black Diamond Kingdom at the same time.
The Black Diamond Kingdom has strong armaments and a stable country, so it is difficult to start for the time being.
You can attack the Elephant Kingdom first, but the Elephant Kingdom is strong, and once the war starts, you must be prepared to fight a protracted war.
I hope that we must do a good job of the basic work before starting a big war, and we must not start blindly.
Amesvalon has arranged for all the families of civilians and soldiers who have arrived from the Elephant Nation.
Please do a good job of reassuring and conveying the news to the soldiers on the front line, so as to ensure that the soldiers on the front line can fight with peace of mind.
Soon Amesvalon will send a large number of supplies to Budavis to ensure the consumption of future wars.
As for the capture of Meteorite City that you mentioned, although it is too risky, given that the scope of the war is within the Giant Elephant Country, it is possible to let Mi Lu start the war first and disturb the internal situation of the Giant Elephant Country.
The outcome of the war doesn't matter, it is important to save Milou's life at a critical moment and let her continue to wreak havoc within the Elephant Nation.
Gurus was relieved this time, he finally had a war goal, and the most important thing at hand was to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to launch a war to destroy the country.
Since George acquiesced to Milou's war intentions, he could do his part to help Milou.
Gurus gave Milou 8,000 horses, which is the maximum strength she can show at the moment, and it is up to her to determine how much Milu can create.
After Mi Lu got the horses, he selected the soldiers with good riding and archery skills in the army to form 5,000 archers, and handed over the rest of the horses to Gu Ning to form a cavalry regiment.
Gu Ning put forward his own war plan, the civilians around Meteor City have been bullied by the army for many years, as long as they send people to provoke friction between civilians and the army, then it is likely that there will be another peasant uprising around Meteorite City.
In order to suppress the rebellion, the army of Falling Star City must divide its forces, and as long as it divides its forces, then Celta will be able to defeat each other.
Mi Lu was very satisfied with Gu Ning's plan, and gave Gu Ning full responsibility, so that he could dispatch and start disrupting the situation around Meteor City.
Gu Ning looked at his army, and sighed in his heart, he was originally a little noble child with no way out, exiled everywhere, but God gave him a chance to change his fate, as long as he can expand the results of the battle, then he will also establish an immortal career in the future!
Aunt Yasha followed behind Gu Ning, and in front of her were more soldiers of the Giant Elephant Kingdom, who came out every year to plague the civilians around them, and for such soldiers, Aunt Yasha hated them to the core, hoping to kill them all!
One old and one young, with different moods, embarked on a new round of journey...
Every spring, it is the time when the residents of Falling Star City are most worried, as long as there are beautiful women in the family, they will be snatched away by the soldiers of Falling Star City.
Whoever dares to resist will either have his leg broken or vomit blood, or even be killed, and the military will pay a few hundred silver coins at most after killing someone.
On this day, a group of cavalry came to a village and began to search from house to house for beautiful women.
A soldier saw a woman with an average but good figure, strode up and put his arm around the woman's shoulder, and said with a lewd smile: "Little sister, the long real water spirit, come, play with my brother, my brother has a good time, give you a few silver coins." ”
The woman was so frightened that she sat on the ground and cried, when the woman's father hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, knelt in front of the soldier and cried: "Master Knight, spare our family, my daughter is not yet an adult, you can let her go!"
The soldier whipped the man with his horsewhip and shouted: "Get out of here! What are you, you dare to disobey the military order! Do you know that this is General Suqada's order! See if I don't kill you!"
Just as the soldier was exercising his might, a sturdy middle-aged woman twisted the soldier's wrist, twisted the soldier's wrist and dislocated it, and shouted at the soldier: "General Suqada asked you to go to a civilian's house to rob a woman casually?
The soldier grinned in pain, "Where did you come from? What are you doing?
Aunt Yasha said: "Who am I? Tell you! Your grandmother I think that when I followed General Suqada's father to fight in all directions, the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom in that era could be called a unit, what are you people? are a bunch of miscellaneous people who only know how to suck human blood and eat human flesh!"
The soldier said angrily: "The old general has been dead for many years, and we people also care about what before and after, only obey General Suqada's orders!"
Aunt Yasha said: "Look, we have lived on a piece of land for generations, and we have worked hard for the lords here, and we have to contribute in the face of war, but what have we paid in exchange? In exchange for humiliation and oppression! I tell you, my daughter-in-law and grandson were tortured to death by this group of goddamn bastards, and now, I am the only one left, but I want to avenge the death of my daughter-in-law and little grandson! Kill this group of blood-drinking miscellaneous people! I dare to resist even an old woman, can you dignified men be indifferent? Let's do it! Kill these wretched people! Kill these wretched people!"
Don't die in silence, but erupt in silence, these civilians who have been oppressed by the army all year round finally show their bloody side!
"Kill! these brutes killed my daughter the year before last!"
"Kill them! They killed my wife last year!"
My son and daughter-in-law were killed by these brutes last year!"
In the midst of the rage, Yasha led the crowd and began to rebel against the army.
In order to ensure the safety of the relatives of the army, Aunt Yasha arranged for a part of the people to send a large number of family members of the rebels to the direction of Celta.
The rebels who fought at the front left only those who were stronger, and some of those who did not want to join were also sent to the rear of Celta.
The wildfires spread to 8 cities around Meteor City, with more than 100,000 civilians joining the rebels, capturing three weakly defended cities around Meteor City, and officially arming at least 20,000 troops.
Suqada in Meteorite City couldn't sit still, and sent 30,000 elite infantry and 5,000 elite cavalry to start quelling the rebellion.
As the Elephant army passed through the Deadleaf Forest, they encountered an ambush from the peasant army.
Although it was a surprise attack, the Colossus troops were elite troops, which resisted the surprise attack of the peasant army, and gradually began to counterattack, and began to massacre the peasant army on a large scale.
When the two armies fought fiercely, Gu Ning sent 5,000 regular soldiers to raid the rear of the Meteorite City army, and the Meteorite City troops began to dispatch cavalry, and Gu Ning sent 5,000 short archers to launch a surprise attack from both flanks of the Meteorite City cavalry.
The elite troops of Falling Star City had a tenacious will to fight, and although they were ambushed, they still repelled Gu Ning's troops again and again with their strong strength.
Seeing that the peasant army was killed in large numbers, Gu Ning felt that he still underestimated the strength of the Duo Duo, and it seemed that it was difficult to defeat the Duo in a conventional way in this ambush.
In desperation, Gu Ning dispatched the mage escort group, 300 mixed mage troops, formed a triangular charging formation, mobilized various mages, and smashed into the opponent's cavalry.
When the cavalry was suppressed, Gu Ning commanded his troops to attack the opponent, and finally won a crushing victory after paying a great price, and the army of Falling Star City fled with less than 2,000 men.
This time the losses were very serious, with 40,000 killed in the peasant army, 2,000 in the archers, 4,000 in the regular infantry, and 2,500 in the cavalry.
The remaining peasant army was frightened, and the remaining 60,000 people fled in an instant, 30,000 and the remaining 30,000 retreated far to the city of Nizhen.
Gu Ning used the horses captured in the battle, expanded the cavalry to 3,000 again, trained and reorganized the infantry unit, reduced to 8,000 people, but the combat effectiveness doubled, the army began to defend the city, and the 30,000 peasant army was screened and reorganized into 20,000 reserve soldiers responsible for defending the city.
The direction of Meteor City didn't care much about the peasant rebellion this time, but after hearing that his army had been defeated, Sucata was very angry.
Suqada sent his lieutenant general to lead 5,000 elite cavalry, 30,000 reservists, and 10,000 family private soldiers to Nizhen City to pursue and kill the remnants of the peasant army, and urgently transferred the rear city soldiers, and it is estimated that 80,000 infantry will be cobbled together to support Meteorite City.
Ten days later, the army of Meteor City arrived in front of the city of Nyzhen and began to repair and prepare for the next day's siege.
At night, around the military camp of the Giant Elephant Kingdom, many mages wearing red corsets appeared, and the back of these people's clothes was embroidered with a red rose.
As Milu's sharp knife troops, these mages are all selected through layers of selection, and the elite mages selected are all fanatics who are not afraid of death.
In the darkness of the night, these mages secretly approached the camp, pulled their horses apart, assassinated the other party's sentinels, and then slowly penetrated into the enemy camp.
Their target is the opponent's war horse, the last battle showed that the damage of these elite knight infantry is too great, and there is no way for Celta to raise the opponent's elite cavalry.
In the silent Giant Elephant State military camp, a raging flame suddenly ignited, and a large number of war horses were killed by the fire bombs released by the mages, and after the mages attacked the war horses, they grabbed the war horses and began to set fire everywhere in the military camp.
And when the Giant Elephant Nation troops formed an effective combat force, the mages rode away on their horses.
The Elephant State troops were very nervous, one defense until daylight, and after dawn the army did not choose to attack the city for the time being, but began to reorganize the troops and redeploy the camp.
At night, the mage escort of 200 mages began to harass the Colossus army.
The Colossius troops were prepared this time, and the defense was very tight, and the mage escort did not take advantage.
On the third day, the Blood Rose Mage raided the opponent's granary.
Although it did not cause serious losses, it frightened the troops of the Colossus Country, you must know that if there is no military rations, then the morale of the army will collapse...
On the fourth day, Gu Ning took advantage of the night to lead a large army to ambush and first arranged for the mage escort group to harass.
The army of the Colossus seemed to be accustomed to harassment, and after some defense, the army thought that it was the same as the previous day, and began to rest after being nervous for a while.
And Gu Ning sent the Blood Rose Mage to attack the other party's granary.
The army of the Colossus immediately concentrated its weapons to defend the granary.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hit the granary of the defensive forces, Gu Ning asked the mage escort regiment to open the way, led 3,000 cavalry to assault the barracks, and followed closely behind the 5,000 short archers to continue the attack.
The army of the Colossus had just defended the granary when it found that a large number of cavalry were attacking at night in the rear, and hurriedly organized troops to defend against the cavalry.
After Gu Ning's 5,000 cavalry rushed into the barracks, they set fire to it, and after the barracks caught fire, the cavalry galloped away without stopping.
The army of the Colossus was already stunned at this time, and hurriedly put out the fire!
Gu Ning's 5,000 shortbowmen began to shoot wave after wave of the rebels in the barracks, and after several waves, the shortbowmen quickly withdrew.
At this time, the army of the Colossus Country, exhausted, relaxed the defense of the granary.
The Bloodrose Mages went and returned, setting fire to the food and grass of the Colossus Army.
The next day, the lieutenant general of the Colossus army was horrified when he saw the mess in the barracks.
Although the opponent's combat strength is far inferior to that of his own army, now that there is no military rations, his troops can only hold out for one day at most, and they must retreat before their morale collapses.
The adjutant general immediately made a decision and led the troops to begin to retreat.
At this time, the 3,000 archers trained by Gu Ning secretly set out and began to attack continuously.
The Elephant Nation forces had been beaten to the ground and were constantly defeated, and by the time they approached the vicinity of Meteor City, there were only 1,000 cavalry left, 15,000 private soldiers, and the rest of the troops were all killed or scattered.
After this pursuit, the archers of Gunin gradually became familiar with the tactics of archers, and Gur expanded the archers to 5,000 men.
In recognition of Gunin, Milu granted Gunin the right to mobilize all the armies near the city of Nizhen, and sent 5,000 archers to support.
Fifteen days later, the Elephant Nation arrived to support the Meteor City's army.
Sucata let his 20,000 private soldiers and 3,000 longbowmen defend Meteor City, and personally led 20,000 elite infantry, 80,000 infantry, 2,000 elite cavalry, and 2,000 longbowmen to attack the city of Nizhen.
