Chapter 242: Painting Cakes
In the Governor's Mansion of Detrika City, the second capital of the Barbarian Bull Empire, the Minister of War Tonecchi said anxiously to Governor Trofe: "Governor, the vanguard of the Zhou family army is less than a hundred kilometers away from Detrika City, and the battle to defend Detrika City will break out soon.
You must hurry back to the Spirit World, Your Majesty has sent three telegrams in a row, all asking you to return to Torlite City as soon as possible. ”
Torit City is on the other side of the Spirit World, and it is the first capital of the Barbarian Bull Empire.
At this time, it was only a month after the Zhou Jiajun launched an attack on the provinces of Vitores, Elaine Denn, and Fedata of the Barbarian Bull Empire.
However, the Zhou army has captured the entire Vitores Province, as well as most of the Elaine Deen Province, and the Fedata Province where Detrika City is located has also been captured by the Zhou army, and the Zhou army's troops have been directly aimed at the political, military, cultural and economic center of the Barbarian Bull Empire in this world - Detrika City.
Governor Trofe asked with a gloomy face, "How are the preparations for the defense of Detrika City?" ”
In the face of the stormy attack of the Zhou army, although the barbarian bull army tried its best to resist, the bad news still kept coming.
In the past month, the Bull Army has lost more than 5 million troops, and this is only the loss of the regular army, and the civilian armed forces composed of the Ox youth and the Ma youth have also lost at least two or three million.
Of course, losses do not equal to deaths, and almost two-thirds of the losses of the barbarian bull army and civilian forces were taken prisoner, and the number of people actually killed in battle was only about one-third.
The high-level of the Manniu Empire had foreseen that the last three provinces of the Manniu Empire in the New World would probably also fall into the hands of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.
At that time, the history of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World was equivalent to drawing an end.
Of course, the Wild Bull Empire was not willing to be completely expelled from the New World, so it prepared to use Detrika City to fight a defensive battle, buying time so that several other orc nations could send troops to support.
"Governor, we have gathered 1,800,000 troops in the city of Dtrika, of which 1,300,000 are regular troops and the remaining 500,000 are civilians," said War Minister Tonieci.
And all the humans in Detrika City have been driven out of the city, and our cattle and horse tribes, old and young women and children, have also been evacuated to the spirit world.
Detrika City has now become a fortress, and the most conservative estimate is that it can withstand the Zhou family's army for three months.
If reinforcements continue to be sent to Detrika City, it will hold out for much longer. ”
Governor Trofe said in a deep voice, "In that case, why should I leave Dtrika City?
I want to stay and resist the attack of the Zhou army together with the soldiers!
What's more, there are different time and space nodes in Detrika City where you can return to the Spirit World, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, I can withdraw to the Spirit World at any time. ”
War Minister Tonech said urgently: "Governor, anything can happen on the battlefield.
Moreover, air supremacy is always in the hands of the Zhou family's army, and as long as the governor is still in Detrika City, it will be in danger.
The Governor is the crown prince of our Bull Empire, but you can't stay in Detrika City if you're in the slightest danger. ”
Governor Trofe also knew that it was impossible for him to stay and participate in the defense of Dtrika City.
It's just that Trofe was really unwilling in his heart, so he fled back to the spirit world.
The Wild Bull Empire has ruled this land in the New World for more than two hundred years, is it going to end in its own hands?
Trofi's voice then changed, "What is the attitude of the Red Tiger Empire now?" ”
The defeat of the Barbarian Bull Empire is so miserable, and it has a lot to do with the Red Tiger Empire.
When the Zhou army launched an attack on the provinces of Vitores, Elaine Deen, and Fedata of the Barbarian Bull Empire, the Red Tiger Empire's army had almost 4 million troops in these three provinces.
However, in the face of the attack of the Zhou army, most of the Red Tiger army immediately retreated all the way back until they retreated to the territory of the Red Tiger Empire.
Perhaps if the Red Tiger army did not retreat, the two armies would still not be able to stop the attack of the Zhou army, but the retreat of the Red Tiger army aggravated the rout of the Manniu army.
War Minister Tonecchi sighed and said, "The Red Tiger Empire is still the same, and it is gathering troops.
It is obvious that the Red Tiger Empire is perfunctory and is not ready to send troops to support our Barbarian Bull Empire at all. ”
Governor Trofe snorted coldly, "If the Red Tiger Empire is willing to help our Barbarian Empire, it won't have to withdraw millions of troops before.
The Red Tiger Empire doesn't have to count on it, what is the attitude of the other four Spirit Race countries? ”
"Both the Golden Lion Empire and the Black Bear Empire have expressed their willingness to send troops into the territory of our Barbarian Bull Empire to fight, but both countries have said that it will take time to assemble troops, and they have asked our Barbarian Bull Empire to buy time for their two countries' reinforcements as much as possible.
As for the Silver Wolf Empire, it said that there was nothing to be done, and the Flying Leopard Empire had not yet given an answer. ”
Governor Trofe gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that you can only count on the Golden Lion Empire and the Black Bear Empire, but if you want the two countries to send troops, the defense of Detrika City must be fought well!" ”
"Rest assured, Governor, I will stay and personally command the defense of Dtrika.
Please return to the Spirit World immediately! ”
"Al-well, I'll leave tonight.
General Tonec, the city of Detrika will be handed over to you. ”
In the palace of Norya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno asked Prime Minister Salento, "Is the Red Tiger Empire still unwilling to send troops?" ”
Prime Minister Salento said helplessly: "The Red Tiger Empire is still shirking, and it has no intention of sending troops to rescue the Barbarian Bull Empire."
Now the Wild Bull Empire is gathering its forces to Detrika City, if Detrika City is not defended, then the Wild Bull Empire's territory in the New World is likely to fall. ”
Emperor Kosno said gloomily, "What does the Red Tiger Empire want to do?
Could it be that the Red Tiger Empire has forgotten that the Wild Bull Empire has also joined the Six ** Alliance, once the last three provinces of the Wild Bull Empire in the new world are also occupied by the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, the strength of the Zhou family will increase by a few points.
There must be about 80 million human beings in the three provinces of the Barbarian Bull Empire, and the Zhou family can recruit at least five or six million troops from these 80 million human beings, or even more, not to mention that the Zhou family has also implemented a policy of all soldiers in the control area. ”
Prime Minister Salento hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if the power of the Barbarian Bull Empire is completely cleared from the New World this time, then even if the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires is defeated by a few of our Spirit Clan countries in the future, it will be difficult for the Barbarian Bull Empire to return to the New World."
And the territory of the Wild Bull Empire in the New World is very likely to be annexed by the Red Tiger Empire. ”
When Emperor Kosno heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "You mean to say that the Red Tiger Empire intends to swallow all the territories of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World?" ”
"The Red Tiger Empire should have planned so, but the premise is that our remaining five Spirit Clan nations can defeat the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires."
Emperor Kosno pursed his lips, "The Red Tiger Empire is a little too whimsical, not to mention whether our remaining five Spirit Clan countries can defeat the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.
Even if the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires is defeated by us in the end, can the Red Tiger Empire swallow the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the new world?
Our Golden Lion Empire, as well as the Black Bear Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire, are they just decorations? ”
"Maybe the Red Tiger Empire considers that the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World is adjacent to the Red Tiger Empire, and the Red Tiger Empire can take the initiative in this regard."
"I don't believe that the Red Tiger Empire can snatch all 11 million square kilometers of territory in the New World with its own strength."
At this time, Prime Minister Salento suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do we really want to send an army to support the Barbarian Bull Empire?" ”
Emperor Kosno sighed and said, "Wait a minute!
Now that our Golden Lion Empire has almost 3 million troops trapped in the Silver Wolf Empire, with the current situation of the Barbarian Bull Empire, without millions of elite troops, it can't change anything at all.
By the way, how is the expansion of the Royal Guard? ”
The Royal Guard of the Golden Lion Empire, known for its excellent equipment, was once considered the most combat-ready army unit in the world.
The Royal Guards of the earliest Golden Lion Empire had only 3 infantry divisions, each with about 15,000 men.
With the declaration of war on the Zhou family by the Six ** Alliance, the Royal Guards of the Golden Lion Empire were reorganized into 6 infantry divisions, each of which increased its strength to 30,000 people, with 4 infantry brigades, 1 heavy artillery brigade, 1 baggage brigade and 1 guard regiment.
Among them, the heavy artillery brigade has 60 heavy guns of caliber 120 mm, 60 heavy guns of caliber 150 mm and 40 heavy guns of 180 mm.
After Kosno succeeded to the throne, he decided to expand the size of the Royal Guard again and add six new infantry divisions.
Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, the new six infantry divisions of the Royal Guard are fully equipped with personnel and weapons and equipment, and half of the officers and soldiers are drawn from the original six infantry divisions. ”
"Let the 12 infantry divisions of the Royal Guard step up their training, this war against the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires will be an opportunity for the Royal Guards to show their talents!
By the way, what the Silver Wolf Empire wants to negotiate peace, are there any other spirit countries that are relieved? ”
"Your Majesty, only the Barbarian Bull Empire expressed its position not long ago and agreed to negotiate peace with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, but the premise is that the Zhou family immediately stops attacking."
"It doesn't matter if the Wild Bull Empire doesn't express its position anymore, let the intelligence department always pay attention to the attitude of the Red Tiger Empire, the Black Bear Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire towards peace.
If these three Spirit Clan countries are also willing to negotiate peace, then there is no need for our Golden Lion Empire to insist on anything, but it is a pity that my Royal Guards have no way to shine on the battlefield. ”
In a palace in the Imperial Palace of Dawning City, the capital of the Red Tiger Empire, Prime Minister Iusa Gongsheng reported to Emperor Gruyan: "Your Majesty, now the Barbarian Bull Empire has gathered 1.3 million troops and 500,000 civilians in Detrika City on the New World side, preparing for a battle to defend Detrika City. ”
Emperor Gruyan said calmly: "According to the strength shown by the Zhou family's army before, the Barbarian Bull Empire will not be able to hold Detrika City, even if it adds another 1 million troops to Detrika City. ”
Prime Minister Iwusha hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, once the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World falls into the hands of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.
Then our Red Tiger Empire will be under very much pressure in the new world, and the minister is worried about ......"
Before Prime Minister Iusa could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Gruyan, "Prime Minister don't worry.
In order to defend against the Barbarian Bull Empire, our Red Tiger Empire built an unusually strong fortification in the border area of the New World.
If the Zhou army dares to launch an attack on the territory of our Red Tiger Empire in the New World, our Red Tiger army will rely on this line of defense to consume the living force of the Zhou army. ”
"Your Majesty, do we really have a chance to annex the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World?
The strength of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires simply made the ministers a little frightened. ”
Emperor Gruyan pondered for a moment and said, "I withdrew more than 3 million royal troops from the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire before, mainly because the offensive of the Zhou family army was too fierce.
If we don't retreat, our Royal Army will not only lose 700,000, maybe 4 million troops will have to lose in the three provinces of the Barbarian Empire. ”
In total, the Red Tiger Empire sent about 4 million army troops to the provinces of Vitores, Elaine Denn, and Fedata of the Wild Bull Empire.
In the end, only about 3.3 million Red Tiger troops escaped safely back into the Red Tiger Empire, and almost 700,000 Red Tiger troops were annihilated in the initial attack of the Zhou army.
After a pause, Emperor Gruyan continued: "As for annexing the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World, it is just that I have drawn a pie for the generals of the Empire.
After all, this time I ordered the withdrawal of troops from the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire, which caused the dissatisfaction of many generals in the army, who believed that I was abandoning my allies.
But they didn't want to think about how many orphans and widows the empire would have if I didn't order a retreat! ”
Prime Minister Iusa asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, did you never plan to annex the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World?" ”
Emperor Gruyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I want to annex the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the new world, the problem is that the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires has grown into a towering tree.
According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the size of the Zhou family's army troops on the Western Continent of the New World has exceeded 20 million, and the Zhou family is still in the control area of the Western Continent, training tens of millions of civilians.
On the eastern continent, the Zhou army has more troops, and the number of civilian armed forces exceeds 100 million.
In addition, the Zhou family also has a powerful air force and tank force, and the Zhou family's southwest coastal defense fleet can rely on its own strength to fight against the combined fleet of our six spirit countries.
Now that even the Silver Wolf Empire, which has been invaded by the Zhou family and occupied 3 provinces, is ready to surrender to the Zhou family, and it is not easy for our Red Tiger Empire to ensure the integrity of its territory in this war. ”
