Chapter 43: The Collision of Great Powers
Kermania is a large country alongside Goria, five times the size of Torlistine, but many areas are inhospitable desert Gobi with a population of about 2.5 million. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe emperor was highly centralized, and the ministers were virtually non-existent. Its military strength includes 100,000 people under the emperor's direct jurisdiction and the most elite fire elf legion, 50,000 people under the emperor's most trusted courtier, the Grand Duke Yanlong, and 30,000 troops under the recently formed princess Alice. There was no local army in the inner city, and it was managed and maintained by the local nobility. 30,000 garrisons on the western coastline; There were 20,000 garrisons on the border with Torlistine; and 100,000 troops on the Kermania-Goria border.
At the same time that Princess Alice arrived in Toristine with 30,000 troops and Ottomans, the 50,000 Dragons of Nilent, Duke of Yanlong, also arrived on the Kelmania-Goria border. After taking over the command of the 100,000 local border guards, a full 150,000 troops began to be reorganized. With an army of 150,000, it was far more powerful than the combined forces of Albion and Toristine today, and the armies of the two countries in their heyday were only around this number.
The movement of the 150,000-strong army was difficult to conceal, and the troops on the adjacent Goria-Kermania border quickly spotted the movement and mobilized their troops to prepare for war. 10,000 Red Flame Tigers, 10,000 Blue Eagles and 100,000 Border Guards, there were three commanders on Goria's side who commanded three armies each.
Goria's side asked in a stern tone what Kermania intended to mobilize his army.
When Nylent received the letter from the bow and arrow, he sneered and crumpled the letter into a ball of paper and threw it away. The emperor has made up his mind to fight, how can he be stopped by painless accusations.
"Pass my order, the whole army will move eastward, and within two days I will gather everyone in [Hank] City."
His own soldiers sent Nilent's order to the border guards of the upper cities under the border.
Goria and Kermania are much larger than Torristin, have long borders adjacent to each other, and both are large countries and wary of each other. Five border cities were built along this border line to assist each other in defending a part of the border. Hank City is the easternmost city and the farthest from Torlistine.
The Nilent army ordered, and the border guards of the five cities on the border from west to east [Ike], [Pock], [Dick], [Jacques], and [Hank] moved, leaving only 1,000 for the purpose of transmitting information, monitoring, and reception, and the rest of the troops poured towards the easternmost city of [Hank].
Sensing Kermania's movements, Goria is on the verge of a great enemy. It was too slow to ask Joseph in a letter what to do, and it was up to the three commanders to decide.
The Red Flame Tiger commanded the main battle, advocating that the border guards of each city cooperate with the two main battle corps to attack across the border during the movement of the Goria army. "Kelmania obviously wants to attack, this is gathering troops, we have to strike first."
"Crossing the border, didn't we declare war on our own initiative? No way. "The commander of the 100,000 local defenders of the five frontier cities is a moderate faction, otherwise he would not have been stationed on this border for thirty years without a big war.
The commander of the Blue Eagle unfurled the map and remained silent.
"If you want to concentrate your forces, wouldn't it be better to concentrate on [Dick] City in the middle? Why gather in the easternmost city of Hank? To the east, to the west, I see, they were avoiding the forces we threw into Torlistine. If they were helping Torlistine, gathering in the westernmost city of Ike would be more likely to affect the advance army; They're really going to attack us. β
"Attack, while they haven't finished assembling yet." Chiyan Jun commanded.
The commander of the Blue Army nodded and agreed with the commander of the Red Yan Army. The commander of the border guards had no choice but to cooperate, but he only let half of the troops in each city cooperate in the attack, leaving 50,000 troops to garrison the cities.
Both the Red Yan Army and the Blue Army commanders were dissatisfied with this, but they couldn't force him to order. The two commanders took their 10,000 troops and set out from the city of [Dis] in Goria, which corresponded to [Dick], and launched an attack on the east and west of the route where the Kelmanian troops were mobilized. The border command is attacking the front. (Corresponding to the 5 frontier cities of Kermania, the 5 Goria are [Ace] [Persia] [Diss] [Yas] [Hans] from west to east.) The 10,000 defenders of the Red Flame Army and [Ace] attacked [Poke], the 10,000 defenders of the Blue Army and [Hans] attacked [Jacques], and the 10,000 defenders of [Persia] [Diss] and [Jas] attacked [Dick].
The three commanders led the army from the city of [Dix], and in about half a day, the border commander with the shortest route had already arrived outside the city of [Dick]. At present, he only has 10,000 troops from [Dis] City around him. The two countries deployed 20,000 soldiers in each of the border cities, and the border commander, who could not find out how many soldiers were left in the city of [Dick], ordered the soldiers to stop in place, rest on the spot, and did not attack.
γDickγThe 1,000 defenders in the city saw the enemy from a distance and were worried, but fortunately the enemy did not attack the city immediately. Write a letter to the enemy army to [Hank] City, and a thousand defenders will transfer all the materials for the city defense and prepare to defend the city.
Two hours later, 19,000 Kyrmanian soldiers from the city of Polk arrived outside the city. The border commander told the soldiers to gather and retreat slowly, not to engage the army.
The nineteen thousand soldiers also had no intention of pursuing and were led into the city by a thousand defenders.
The border commander saw that the defenders had greatly increased, and he lost his determination to attack the city of [Dick], which was defended by equal or more soldiers. In another three hours, 10,000 soldiers from [Persia] and [Yas] marched in a hurry to join the border guard commanding army, which now has 30,000 troops. However, there were at least 20,000 defenders in the city of [Dick], and the border commander let the 30,000 troops be stationed outside the city, giving up the siege, but deterring the defenders in the city from moving out of the city.
The 20,000 defenders of [Dick] City reorganized sent the situation to Nilent of [Hank] City, and they resolutely held on until they could be replied. The 50,000 troops of Goria and Kermania were in and out of the city of Dick.
On the other side, the 10,000 frontier troops from [Ace] and the 10,000 Chiyan Tiger Army from [Dis] arrived outside [Boke] half a day later than the border commander.
There were only 1,000 soldiers left behind in the city, and the 19,000 soldiers who set out from Ike City passed through the city of Polk and headed for Dick City. 1,000 defenders, trembling in the face of 20,000 enemy troops.
The command of the Red Flame Tiger is belligerent, but ignoring the fact that the enemy army may have 20,000 or something, after a slight rectification, 10,000 border guards and 10,000 Red Flame Tiger Army will attack the city.
Only 1,000 defenders were unable to return to the sky, and after consuming part of the defensive supplies, only about 500 enemy troops were replaced, and the city was broken. The Red Flame Tiger Commander was like a punch that had been accumulated with all his strength, and it was very uncomfortable.
The armies of Kermania are all converging to the east, and I must have arrived too late. The city of [Ike] in the west must also be lacking in defenders, and cities such as [Dick] in the east may have gathered a large number of troops.
After a little consideration, the Red Flame Tiger left 3,000 border guards stationed in [Poke], and ordered the remaining border guards to attack the city of [Ike] in the west. Then he took the Red Flame Tiger Legion and drove to the city of [Dick] to the east.
Half a day later, the border guards attacking [Ike] City successfully annihilated the 1,000 defenders of [Ike] with 1,200 casualties, and then stayed in [Ike] City.
On the third battlefield, the Blue Eagle opened from [Dis] and 10,000 border guards from [Hans], and arrived outside the city of [Jacques] at about the same time as the Red Yan Army. But this is a hit on the muzzle.
Nilent's 50,000 Flame Dragon Legion first arrived at the central city of [Dick], and then issued an order for the defenders of each city to assemble towards [Hank]. As a result, the 19,000 [Dick] defenders and the 50,000 Yanlong troops happened to stay in the [Jacques] city at this moment.
The blue eagle expected 20,000 enemy troops, but at the moment there were 70,000 defenders in the city, and 50,000 were the main battle legions. Nilent was very happy to see these 20,000 enemy troops, he first hid 50,000 Yanlong troops and 10,000 border guards, and when the Blue Eagle commanded a tentative attack, the 10,000 defenders resisted the attack of the Blue Eagle and the border guards with difficulty with the help of the walls and defensive materials.
A blue eagle commander with few defenders in the city was overjoyed and pressed all his forces down.
Among them are a thousand soldiers dressed in wind-blue enchanted armor, which is the core of the Blue Eagle Legion. At the command of the conductor, a hundred of them stood together and activated the magic attached to their armor.
The blue light was pervasive, the atmosphere was converging, and blocks of air the size of a head gathered in front of the hundred-person phalanx. With the control of the soldiers, the hundred [Wind Hammers] smashed into the fortified gates of [Jacques] City.
"Bang bang bang-" "Boom-"
Under the bombardment of the wind hammer, the gates of [Jacques] City crumbled. The besieging soldiers gathered at the gate of the city with all their might, and finally broke open the gate with their flesh and blood.
There was a "boom" and the city gate fell to the ground.
However, they were greeted by the Yanlong Army, which was ready to attack.
"The whole army will attack, and no one will be left!!" Nyehrant shouted.
"Kill!!" "Kill!!"
50,000 Yanlong troops poured out of the city gates, and quickly counterattacked the besieging Goria soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Blue Eagle commander ordered the remaining 900 enchanted armor soldiers to use magic to save the defeat. Nine hundred people gathered together, the armor on their bodies emitted cyan light under the stimulation of spiritual power, and a wind hammer shot into the sky, cutting an arc, falling from the highest place one after another, and falling into the formation of the Yanlong army.
Wind hammers are dense blocks of air that collide with each other in the air, and the escaping air forms sharp blades. The more dense the wind hammer, the more chaotic and hurtful the air is. In the densest place, nearly three hundred wind hammers gathered in a space five or six meters in diameter, and the surrounding air was sucked and swept in, forming an effect similar to that of the [Eye of the Storm].
"Hoohoo-" "Boom-boom-"
The wind hammer fell from the sky, turning the people of the Yanlong Army one by one on their backs, greatly hindering the speed of the Yanlong Army's pursuit. In particular, the ultra-dense wind hammer fell, itself was only five or six meters in diameter, but after landing, the air flow that erupted blew away all the soldiers within a radius of 100 meters, and the escaping wind blade spread to a radius of 120 meters, killing and injuring thousands of soldiers of the Yanlong Army. The area covered by the wind hammer with a radius of three hundred meters blocked the Yanlong army of about 10,000 for more than half a minute.
The siege troops that rushed towards the city turned into retreats when the Yanlong army poured out. In the half minute that the Blue Eagle was blocking, they had already withdrawn fifteen or six thousand soldiers, a hundred meters away from the Yanlong Army.
Seeing this, Nilent said: "Can't let them run, the whole army will pursue." β
The 50,000 Yanlong army was in hot pursuit, and the Blue Eagle and the border guards were only 15,600, and they had no will to fight, and they retreated all the way. The soldiers who were chased by the Yanlong army were quickly killed under the siege of several times the enemy, and then the Yanlong army continued to chase. After pursuing for six or seven kilometers, Nylent gave the order to stop the pursuit, gather his troops and return to the city of Jacques.
The Blue Eagle commanded the escape, looked at the three hundred or so soldiers beside him, and thought that he had come here with 20,000 people, and he couldn't stop crying for a while. After gathering the fleeing soldiers, the Blue Eagle commanded a gathering of about 5,000 men, and 10,000 were killed helplessly in the retreat.
With 5,000 men, the Blue Eagle commanded the nearest retreat to the city of Yas.
It was the first day of the Goria-Kermanian War, which involved three battlefields and killed and wounded about 20,000 people.
