"Stand! Get ready! Fire! With a sound of command, the 1st and 3rd regiments in the front began to pour fire on the enemy opposite them. Once again, the battlefield has returned to the rhythm of lining up to shoot, and with the addition of heavy machine guns, it has become extremely efficient.
The troops of the Arrant Empire collapsed, of course, there was no suspense, with the 1st regiment and the 3rd regiment joining the battle, even the Holy Demon Empire's giant horse cavalry could not penetrate the front, facing the troops of the Mortal Empire was really a bit overkill.
Within a few minutes, the Royal Guard, which the Arrant Empire was so proud that it thought it could even rival the army of the Holy Demon Empire, was almost completely wiped out on the battlefield. The remaining troops fled to Tibet, and even their effective organization was lost.
General Zorn was pulled backwards, his eyes full of unwillingness and madness. He felt that he should die here, in this land that made him desperate. It's a pity that his subordinates can't let him die here like this, after all, General Zorn is still the titular general of the Arrant Empire.
"Withdraw! My lord! The cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire must have retreated, so let's hurry back to the main camp, and it's too late to make any more plans! An officer held General Zorn and looked at the already chaotic army and exhorted in mourning.
After all, Zorn didn't really want to die on the battlefield, he only had a little thought, but this little thought had long since disappeared as the gunfire of the grenadiers on the opposite side of Iran Hill grenadiers became more and more intense.
So he did not speak, but was pulled by his men, and retreated towards the place of the big camp. They gathered their routs along the way, and in the end they didn't even have 2,000 men. Who would have thought that an army of 30,000 people would be defeated and returned?
But when Zon finally picked himself up and retreated to the camp with the remnants of the defeated army, he found that it was no different from the battlefield.
The corpses were piled up, the camp was in tatters, and at a glance you knew that there had been a fierce battle here, and it was a very tragic kind. Even General Zorn didn't dare to enter the camp, and only sent two henchmen in to ask what was going on.
As a result, two henchmen returned with Prince Lombuck's men to deliver the news, and shortly after Zorn left with his troops, an organized rebellion broke out. The captains of several 10,000-strong teams suddenly attacked the main camp where Lombard was located, and as a result, fierce battles broke out between the two sides, losing thousands of men to each other.
Seeing that the sneak attack did not work, the captains of the 10,000-strong squad then led their troops around the camp and surrendered to the Elanhill defenders in Maricha under a white flag...... Now Lombard is still counting the number of losses, and it is estimated that the losses caused by the civil strife in the surrender zone are at least 40,000.
An army of 200,000 at the time of departure has not even recaptured a city until now, and has lost half of it...... also sent 30,000 prisoners to the other side, which can be said to be the biggest joke in the history of war since the establishment of the Arrant Empire.
Now is no longer the time to shirk responsibility, whether it is him Zorn or the prince of Lombuck, he can't afford to carry such a black cauldron in front of him. Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops to fight this kind of gambling on the fortunes of the country, even His Majesty the Emperor himself cannot afford to lose.
"Retreat now! Isn't waiting here looking for death? The troops of Irlanhill on the flank are already about to fight, and when the time comes, they will be stuck and lose tens of thousands of people! "Having seen the strength of the opponent's field troops, Zorn is well aware of his own situation.
With the last of these troops, he quickly retreated, but in the end, saving the little blood left in the Arrant Empire was the only thing he could do now. If the remaining 100,000 troops were lost, the Arrant would not even be qualified to sue for peace.
But...... I just want to go, how can I go so smoothly? When faced with giant horse cavalry, or dragon knights, the cavalry of the steppe empire was as weak as quail. But in the face of the defeat of the remnants of the Arrant Empire, the cavalry of the Prairie Empire had an infinitely huge advantage.
These cavalry could chase and kill along the way, biting the Arrant Empire forces to prevent them from retreating south at full speed. As long as they can reduce the speed of the Arrant Empire's retreat, the main force of Iran Hill, which has a large number of carriages, can keep chasing the troops of the Arrant Empire.
When the time comes, neither Farud, the important town of the Arrant Empire, nor Tunsk, the gateway to the royal city, will be able to defend it...... At that time, the royal city has become the front line, and it is difficult to say whether Emperor Hook will kill Zorn and Lombak to vent his hatred.
"Retreat now! Take away all the formed troops, and leave behind the troops with heavy losses! Fast! If you don't leave, it's too late! General Zorn gave a series of orders when he entered the camp, and the troops of the Arrant Empire immediately retreated with all their might, and even left 20,000 old and weak soldiers behind as bait for Alan Hill.
……
"If we have enough troops to go south, then Farud is ours." Chris looked at the map with some regret, clasped his hands on his chest and sighed: "Who would have thought that we would fight so smoothly in this battle......"
"If we force down Farud, our front will be stretched too long. Ammunition supply is difficult, and Farud will become a quagmire that traps us, a logistical nightmare. Wilkes stood beside Chris and spoke.
In any direction, Wilkes is very similar to the old general of the Arrant Empire, Frankie: they attach great importance to defense, and are willing to carefully calculate logistics and their own troops.
They are both very good tacticians, especially good at consolidating the victories they have already won. Lao Cheng's cautious and cautious tactics are their strategy for using troops, and their creed for victory is not to give the enemy any chance even if they don't want it.
"yes, the meat is all stewed, and we don't have forks ready...... It's really confusing. Chris sighed again, taking his attention away from the easy-to-reach but troubled city of Faroud.
Then he looked at Bourjos, the officer stationed in Maricha, the two surrendered generals who were the most capable of fighting in Hanhai City, and now they just happened to support the defense line of Ranhill in front of him: one was Wilkes, the lord of Hanhai City at that time, and the other was Bourjos, the deputy general of Hanhai at that time, which was really interesting to think about.
"Bourjos, what do you think we should do with the surrendered Arrant soldiers? Including in the direction of Bude, and here, it is not a small number. Chris asked, looking at each other.
Although on the frontal battlefield, Bourchos and Wilkes faced the Dragon Knight troops of the Holy Demon Empire and the giant horse cavalry head-on, and the fight was very exciting, but in fact, the great victory of Ellan Hill occurred at both ends of the entire front.
In the far west, Coria commanded his forces to crush the Arrantic Empire's forces that were counterattacking at the same time, capturing at least 50,000 soldiers and capturing huge territories with brilliant results.
On the easternmost side of the line, General Modryel commanded his troops to take the Magic Concentrate and take control of a large area east of Wallavo. In this battle, Iran Hill obtained the most important magical concentrate resources and obtained a valuable grain production area.
You know, after this brutal war, seeing that the time has entered the summer, the grain harvest is imminent, and it is also a very encouraging thing to have a new grain production area.
"The captives should be sent back to the rear to participate in the construction of infrastructure! After all, the shortage of labor in the rear is not a day or two. Bourgeos thought for a moment and replied: "However, the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered head-on are still well trained, and they can be used directly." ”
The lack of qualified troops was also a serious problem for Irlanhill, who, no matter how quickly they expanded, were once again overstretched after suddenly capturing so many vast territories.
There are already as many as 27 regiments of Irlanhill troops, and now there are 10 cities and large castles that need to be directly controlled, and with the vast land between these cities, the hundreds of thousands of Irlanhill grenadier troops are obviously a little scarce.
Therefore, Chris really hopes that the more than 30,000 Arrant Imperial troops that surrendered can be used directly - he hopes that these soldiers can be scattered and subsidized to the expanded troops, so that they can make the safest use of these surrendered enemy troops.
"Send these troops to the Volavo region as much as possible." After some calculation, Chris spoke: "Stay away from the direction where the Holy Demon Empire may counterattack, and be close to Arant, let them bully and bully the soft persimmons first, and accumulate some confidence." ”
"The rest of the matter is how to beware of the counterattack of the Holy Demon Empire...... Wilkes looked at the two cities on the west side, and said to Chris: "The counterattack of the Holy Demon Empire is not necessarily only from the south. ”
In fact, among the three mortal countries bordering the Holy Demon Empire, the Dosen Empire, which is the farthest away, is not mentioned for the time being, and the closer ones are the Arrant Empire and the Higgs Kingdom. If the Holy Demon Empire wants to attack Elanhill, it is actually a long way to take the Arrant Empire to the south, and it is closer to pass directly through the Higgs Kingdom.
Moreover, after crossing the Kingdom of Higgs, they directly entered the hinterland of Ellan Hill, the most important and industrialized region of Seris. A direct attack on this area is the most lethal weakening of Iran Hill.
Further, as long as the city of Seris is captured, Elanhill will be cut into three sections that cannot support each other, and the situation on the battlefield will take a sharp turn. So for Alan Hill, the most important defense node has always been Seris City behind him. That's why the teaching team has been stationed in the city of Serris.
