Chapter 301 The Right to Trade
The fortification group that stood in front of the second expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance can be called a fortress because the Han and Tang armies built dense pillboxes with reinforced concrete.
Some of these pillboxes are more than ten meters high and more than 1 meter thick, and between the pillboxes and pillboxes, the Han and Tang armies also dug criss-cross trenches.
The 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps and the 6th and 12th Independent Brigades of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, which guarded this fortification group, were equipped with a large number of anti-tank rifles, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns.
If according to the attack method of the first expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance, if the second expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance wants to break through this fortification group, it must pay a very heavy price, and may even be directly crucified here, unable to move forward.
However, the second expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance did not play its cards according to common sense, and the ninth-level wizard Vesali Kemlot cast several earth attack witchcraft and wind attack witchcraft on this fortification group in a row.
As a result, there were several large gaps in the well-fortified fortifications, and even many of the strong pillboxes were destroyed by attack sorcery.
Immediately, the army of the Totem Alliance frantically charged towards these gaps.
Seeing this, Xia Yonggang, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Jinlongcheng Garrison Corps, directly issued an order to the commanders at all levels on the front line: "Hold the position at all costs, the people are in the position!" ”
Yang Song was a company commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, and their company's fortifications were attacked by earth witchcraft.
The earth seemed to have been rolled over, and many officers and soldiers and weapons and equipment were buried underneath, but Yang Song was lucky to escape the catastrophe.
"Quick! Rescue the brothers who were buried below! Yang Song shouted to the frightened officers and soldiers.
However, just as Yang Song led people to rescue the buried officers and soldiers, the Totem Alliance army began to attack.
Yang Song gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, the beast cubs are here."
With all the weapons that can be found, as long as there is still one person alive in our company, we can't lose our company's position. ”
Fortunately, although the fortification group was breached in several places by the ninth-level wizard Vesalius Kemlot, it did not affect the artillery positions of the Han and Tang armies in the rear.
The Totem Alliance army, which launched the charge, was soon subjected to saturation shelling.
In addition to the 2nd Infantry Division, the 6th Independent Brigade and the 12th Independent Brigade's own artillery units, there were also 2 artillery divisions of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, which also participated in the shelling of the Totem Alliance army.
Such a dense cannonball, especially the shells of some large-caliber howitzers, even the earth dragoons and giant warriors who are known for their defensive power in the Totem Alliance army cannot withstand it.
However, the army of the Totem Alliance, whether it is a powerful unit, a main battle class, or even an auxiliary class, does not have the slightest fear in the face of rain-like artillery attacks.
These orc warriors didn't seem to see the fallen comrades around them, and they always roared all the way towards the position of the Han and Tang armies.
The position where Yang Song's company was located, even with the support of the regimental guard company, was still broken through by the troops of the Totem Alliance.
In the face of the Totem Alliance army with super melee combat ability, the officers and soldiers of the Han and Tang Empires did not have the strength to confront them in white-knuckle warfare at all.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Han and Tang Empires also did not lack courage, and many officers and soldiers of the Han and Tang Empires even held cluster grenades and chose to die with the beast warriors of the Totem Alliance.
As the company commander, Yang Song was the first to hold a cluster grenade and pounce on a rhinoceros warrior of the Totem Alliance army.
Under the stubborn resistance of the 2nd Infantry Division, the 6th Independent Brigade and the 12th Independent Brigade of the Golden Dragon City Garrison Corps, although the fortification group was made several gaps by the ninth-level wizard Vesali Kemlot, the Totem Alliance army was never able to completely open these gaps.
Next, the armies of the two sides fought over and over again around these gaps, and the air divisions and armored divisions of the Golden Dragon City garrison corps, as well as other infantry units, were also thrown into the battlefield one after another.
In the following 3 days of fighting, the ninth-level wizard Vesali Kemlot repeatedly used attack witchcraft on the fortifications of the Han and Tang armies, causing more and more of the fortifications on the side of the Han and Tang armies to be destroyed.
However, the Han and Tang armies seemed to be like nails, stuck to this position, regardless of casualties, and compared with the army of the Totem Alliance, they added fuel tactics.
If the position is captured by the army of the Totem Alliance, even in the face of the earth dragoons and giant warriors, the Han and Tang armies will launch a counterattack without hesitation.
The fierce fighting continued until the next day, and the troops of the Third Army of the Shuodong Military Region and the Fifth Army of the Shuodong Military Region were also engaged in the battle.
The tragic battle made the Ninth Prince Campelle and the Seventeenth Prince Nicolai look terrified.
"Brother Jiu, it's too tragic, if you continue to fight like this, our expeditionary force will be exhausted." The seventeenth prince Nicolai smiled bitterly at the ninth prince Campelé.
In the heart of the seventeenth prince, Nicolai, very much hoped that he could withdraw from the army.
In this way, he can let his father see how difficult the Golden Dragon City guarded by the Han and Tang armies is, and the points for him can be reduced accordingly.
Of course, the Nine Emperor Prince Campelle did not want to retreat, but after three days of bloody battles, plus the losses from the first air raid before, the original expeditionary force with a strength of up to one million is now less than half left.
The Nine Emperors, Campelé, hesitated for a moment and asked Ryan Ridianka, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, "Uncle, what do you say we should do?" ”
Instead of answering immediately, Ryan Ridyanka respectfully asked Visari Kemlot, a ninth-level wizard, "Venerable Kremlot, what do you think?" ”
Ninth level wizard Vesali Kemlot shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've done everything that needs to be done."
Of course, if you are like this, you can't complain about the soldiers of the expeditionary force.
I didn't expect that the fighting will of the Han and Tang armies was not inferior to the army of our Totem Alliance.
Personally, I think that there is no point in continuing to fight, after all, the Han and Tang armies can continue to support here through the Golden Dragon City, while on the side of our expeditionary force, the available troops are becoming less and less. ”
Deputy Commander Ryan Rideanka then sighed and said to the Nine Emperor Princes, Campelé, "Your Highness, it seems that you can only ask Your Majesty for instructions to withdraw your troops.
The Han and Tang armies not only possess many powerful war machines, but also have a tenacious will to fight, it seems that His Majesty wants to seize the two-way space portal in Golden Dragon City, I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes, Campele, asked the ninth-level wizard Vesali Kemlot a little unwillingly, "Venerable Kemlot, with your powerful sorcery, don't you have the slightest hope of winning?" ”
Visari Kemlot, a ninth-level wizard, shook his head and said, "Your Highness Campele, although a ninth-level professional is known as the existence closest to a god, he is not a god after all.
I can even feel that many of the war machines of the Han and Tang armies pose a threat to my life.
I had done everything I could in the fierce battle of the past few days, and even the spiritual fluid I had accumulated over the years had been used up by me.
If you want to take down the Golden Dragon City guarded by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, you may have to mobilize at least half of the ninth-level professionals in the Holy Land, plus millions of warriors from our Totem Alliance, to do so. ”
In the imperial palace of Moai City, the capital of the Totem Alliance, Emperor Ross de Josia said helplessly to the high priest Terta Katitei: "The second expeditionary force sent to the Warcraft Forest was blocked by the Han and Tang forces 50 kilometers north of Golden Dragon City.
After three days of onslaught, regardless of casualties, the expeditionary force has now lost more than half of its losses, and it seems that the second attack on Golden Dragon City has failed again. ”
High Priest Terta asked in shock, "Your Majesty, isn't there a way for my teacher, Venerable Kemlot, to defeat the Han and Tang forces?" ”
Emperor Roth sighed and said, "Venerable Kemlot has done his best, but the fighting will of the Han and Tang armies is not inferior to the armies of our Totem Alliance.
According to Venerable Kemlot, unless half of the ninth-level professionals in the Holy Land were dispatched and millions of troops of our Totem Alliance were mobilized, it would be possible to capture the Golden Dragon City. ”
High Priest Terta couldn't help but gasp, as far as High Priest Terta knew, there were currently 7 ninth-level wizards and 7 ninth-level warriors in the Holy Land of the Totem Alliance, a total of 14 ninth-level professionals.
With 7 ninth-level professionals at once, you can even wipe out any of the five major human countries, provided that the other four human countries, as well as the Elven Clan's Forest Alliance and the Dwarven Clan's Rock Alliance, do not send reinforcements.
However, the ninth-level professionals in the Holy Land are not dispatched when they say they are dispatched, and ninth-level professionals often retreat and cultivate, in order to become more powerful, and eventually enter the realm of the gods, that is, to be promoted to the legendary tenth-level professional.
The tenth-level professional is just a legend of the Continent of the Gods, and in the thousands of years that the Continent of the Gods has a historical record, there has never been a record of the existence of a tenth-level professional.
High Priest Terta hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, have you already ordered His Highness the Ninth to withdraw your troops?" ”
"Terta, it seems that you and I thought of going together, and I have not yet ordered the expeditionary force to start retreating.
I will let Campelle try to negotiate with the Han and Tang Empires in another world, and demand that our Totem Alliance enjoy the same trade rights as those five human nations.
Our Totem Alliance needs silver, steel, and preferably gold from the Han and Tang Empires in exchange for a large amount of grain. ”
High Priest Terta nodded, "After two expeditionary force attacks, although our Totem Alliance did not defeat the Golden Dragon City, presumably the Han and Tang Empires should make a wise choice after seeing the strength of our Totem Alliance army."
If the Han and Tang Empires agree, our Totem Alliance can exchange the mountains of gold for various strategic resources from the Han and Tang Empires. ”
In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui, Zhou Xiaorong, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, and Xiang Tao, chief of the general staff of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, looked at the telegram sent by Liu Erga, the commander of the garrison corps of the Golden Dragon City, and couldn't help but look at each other.
The expeditionary force of the Totem Alliance actually sent people to negotiate with the Han and Tang Empires, and threatened to form a third expeditionary force, demanding trade with the Han and Tang Empires, exchanging gold for silver, steel, grain, and other daily necessities.
Moreover, the exchange ratio given by the Totem Alliance is even more generous than that of the five human alliance countries, such as the exchange of gold and silver, and the Totem Alliance is willing to use 12 kilograms of gold to exchange 1 kilogram of silver for the Han and Tang Empires.
Previously, the Han and Tang Empires and the five human alliance countries of the Continent of the Gods exchanged silver for gold at a ratio of one to ten, but now the Totem Alliance has increased the exchange ratio to one to twelve.
Zhou Rui's purpose in establishing the Golden Dragon City in the Warcraft Forest was to exchange silver and steel for enough gold from the human countries of the Continent of the Gods.
Since your Totem Alliance also wants to exchange gold for things, why didn't you say it earlier?
Why bother to let the two sides fight to the death!
If the Totem Alliance had already said that it would exchange gold for silver, steel, and grain, Zhou Rui would definitely welcome it with both hands.
Although the Han and Tang Empires were human countries, they were not mortal enemies of the Totem Alliance.
Zhou Rui said with a wry smile: "The empire has sacrificed 400,000 soldiers this time, but the Totem Alliance wants to trade with our Han and Tang Empires.
The Totem Alliance has taken out the exchange ratio of gold and various materials, what do you think should be done now? ”
Zhou Xiaorong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although emotionally, I am not willing to trade with the Totem Alliance, but intellectually, I think that trading with the Totem Alliance is beneficial to our Han and Tang Empires. ”
Zhou Rui nodded, "The exchange ratio offered by the Totem Alliance is even higher than the exchange ratio given by the five Human Alliance countries.
I knew that before the Totem Alliance attacked Golden Dragon City, I should have sent people to trade with the Totem Alliance. ”
Xiang Tao said at this time: "Your Majesty, in fact, our Han and Tang Empire's trade with the Totem Alliance was obtained by relying on the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Han and Tang Empire.
Without the sacrifice of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Totem Alliance might not have traded with our Han and Tang Empires, after all, the harvest of plunder is much greater than the profit of trade. ”
Zhou Xiaorong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the two victories in the defense of Golden Dragon City, I'm afraid that the Totem Alliance would not have sat down on the negotiating table with our Han and Tang Empires."
However, after these two battles to defend the Golden Dragon City, the Totem Alliance's ambitions for our Han and Tang Empires have been revealed, and we will hand over a large amount of silver, steel, and grain to the Totem Alliance, will we be burned in the end? ”
Zhou Rui said indifferently: "If we start trading with the Totem Alliance, our Han and Tang Empires will eventually gain more."
The most important thing is that there is no magic in our world, and the strength of ninth-level professionals entering our world, including ninth-level warriors, will be weakened many times.
With this alone, our Han and Tang Empire is already invincible in the face of the Totem Alliance. ”
