Chapter 317: Strategic Retreat

After the decisive battle between the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy and the main force of the Han and Tang Empire Navy, the six beast nations and the three elf countries, in order to boost morale, always publicized that the combined fleet of the nine navies won the decisive battle.

However, the reality can't deceive people, since the remnants of the five navies of the Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Wild Bull have returned to the Silver Wolf Empire's Vikë Port on the other side of the beast world, the main force of the combined fleet of the nine navies has never returned to the coast of the Western Continent, and has been living on the side of the beast world.

According to the Golden Lion Empire's Navy Minister Mitnia, the six orc countries and the three elven nations will do their best to gather more warships to join the combined fleet of the nine countries' navies, preparing to have a second naval decisive battle with the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires, in order to completely defeat the main naval forces of the Han and Tang Empires.

If the main force of the combined fleet of the nine navies does not return, the sea control along the coast of the Western Continent will also fall into the hands of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

For the Nine Nations Military Alliance, the worst thing is not that it temporarily lost its sea dominance, but that under the attack of the Han and Tang Empire's air force and army, the Nine Nations Alliance troops in the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire were defeated again and again.

In particular, in order to support the operation of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, the General Headquarters of the Nine-Nation Alliance has dispatched a large number of jet fighters from the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the three elven countries, so that the Nine-Nation Alliance troops in the towns of Violet Province and Calla Lily Province have basically lost air supremacy.

At the end of August 1557, the army of the Han and Tang Empires suddenly landed in the coastal areas of the eastern part of the Holy Wolf Flower Province of the Silver Wolf Empire and the western part of the Xiangxuelan Province at the same time.

Subsequently, the Han and Tang Empires, one east and one west, quickly advanced to the interior of the two provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Since the defenders of the eastern part of the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province are mainly dominated by the army of the Silver Wolf Empire, the defensive forces are relatively small, which makes the two armies of the Han and Tang Empires all the way to the Silver Light City, the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, from two directions.

At the general headquarters of the Nine Nations Alliance, Luo Feika, the Minister of War of the Golden Lion Empire, said to the commanders of the armies of the other eight countries with a very solemn expression: "Now the army of the Han and Tang Empires is marching at a very alarming speed in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province. ”

Later, Luo Feika drew two opposite arrows on the military map, and the place where the two arrows were facing on the map was Silverlight City, the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army of the Han and Tang Empires is now marching all the way to Yinguang City from two directions, one east and one west.

Once the Han and Tang Empires captured Silverlight City, even if they besieged Silverlight City, it would be equivalent to cutting the main force of our Nine-Nation Alliance Army in the area south of Silverlight City of the Silver Wolf Empire. Rofika said in a deep voice.

Luca, the Minister of War of the Silver Wolf Empire, immediately hurriedly said: "Marshal Rofika, in the territory of our Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province, there are dozens of different time and space nodes that connect to the Spirit Race world.

Even if our Silver Wolf Empire loses Silver Light City, the main force of our Nine Nations Alliance Army is not the same as being trapped. ”

Luca, the Minister of War of the Silver Wolf Empire, is now very worried that the General Headquarters of the Nine-Nation Alliance will choose to give up the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, and even the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.

The Black Bear Empire's War Minister Uriyang followed aloud and said, "Now the tens of millions of troops of our Nine-Nation Alliance are trapped in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province.

And the silver wolf army of the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province can't stop the attack of the Han and Tang Dynasty armies at all, once the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province are lost, what is the use of our Nine-Nation Alliance Army holding on to the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province?

I suggest that the coalition forces immediately retreat to the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province, or even directly to the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire and our Black Bear Empire. ”

The Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiang Xuelan Province of the Silver Wolf Empire are bordered by the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire respectively, if the two provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire are defeated by the Han and Tang armies, the Han and Tang armies can directly attack the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.

Fajet, the Minister of War of the Flying Leopard Empire, also hurriedly responded: "It is no longer realistic for our Nine-Nation Alliance to defend Violet Province and Calla Lily Province now, and we must change our tactics.

More than 3 million elite army units of our Flying Leopard Empire are trapped in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, and at present, our Flying Leopard Empire's five provinces in the New World add up to less than 5 million army troops.

If the Han and Tang armies invade our Flying Leopard Empire, with that army of less than 5 million, our Flying Leopard Empire will not be able to resist it at all! ”

Although Luca, the Minister of War of the Silver Wolf Empire, always hoped that the Nine-Nation Alliance could continue to hold on to the towns in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province, in the end, under the pressure of the commanders of the other eight countries' armies, Luka had to agree to the plan of the strategic retreat of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Next, the Nine-Nation Alliance will abandon the Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province and Calla Lily Province, and make a strategic retreat to the Silver Wolf Empire's Holy Wolf Flower Province, Xiangxuelan Province, Black Bear Empire, and Flying Leopard Empire.

"Bang-" Joselu, the Emperor of the Silver Wolf Empire, slammed the table in front of him, "I will definitely not give up the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province!" ”

Igna, the governor of Silver Radiance City, who had just returned to the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, said with a gloomy face: "Father, I also don't agree to give up the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province.

Once these two provinces fall into the hands of the Han and Tang Empires, it will be difficult for our Silver Wolf Empire to get them back! ”

At this time, Prime Minister Luo Feike said with a bitter face: "But without the assistance of the other five Spirit Clan armies and the three Elf Clan armies, with the strength of our Silver Wolf Army alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province."

The offensive of the Han and Tang armies was too fierce. ”

Governor Igna then said, "Our Silver Wolf Empire still has about 4 million regular troops in the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province.

I am going to let 2 million of them, along with the armies of the other eight countries, retreat into the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province and use them to hold these two provinces.

The remaining 2 million regular troops and the remaining more than 10 million militiamen still held on to every town in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province, fighting for every inch of land with the Han and Tang armies. ”

"Good! That's it!

Letting the 2 million regular troops retreat into the Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiangxuelan Province also means that our Silver Wolf Empire respects the strategic deployment of the General Headquarters of the Nine-Nation Alliance, but our Silver Wolf Empire will not give up an inch of territory.

Now, on the side of the Spirit World, the army has expanded to 4 million recruits, making the total strength of the army on this side of the Spirit World reach 6 million.

I will directly send additional ...... to Violet Province and Calla Lily Province With 3 million regular troops, even if our Silver Wolf Empire has exhausted its family resources, it will never easily give up the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province. Emperor Josherus said with some excitement.

Regarding the matter of the Silver Wolf Empire holding on to the Violet Province and the Calla Lily Province, the General Headquarters of the Nine Nations Alliance Army had no opinion, and also took the initiative to let the Silver Wolf Empire leave an additional 1 million army troops in the territory of Violet Province and Calla Lily Province.

Counting the 3 million army troops that have been supported from the beast world, the Silver Wolf Empire still has about 6 million regular troops and more than 10 million militias in the remaining towns in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province.

It's a pity that the Silver Wolf Empire has completely lost air supremacy in these two provinces.

Next, the Han and Tang Empires mobilized a large number of bombers from the air force, including many propeller bombers in Kaifeng, and launched a crazy bombing of the silver wolf army entrenched in the territory of Violet Province and Calla Lily Province.

The towns held by the silver wolf army were turned into ruins by massive aerial bombs, and countless wolf and dog officers and soldiers were buried under the ruins.

In mid-December of Tianyuan 1557, the silver wolf army in Violet Province and Calla Lily Province was almost wiped out by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, except for a few who withdrew to the Spirit World through different time and space nodes.

The 6 million regular troops and 10 million militia gathered before the Silver Wolf Empire were almost wiped out by the Han and Tang armies for a full 14 million, and of these 14 million, only a few hundred thousand were captured, and the others were completely wiped out.

In the Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiangxuelan Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, the battle situation was also very unfavorable to the side of the Nine Nations Alliance, and most of the cities in the two provinces had been captured by the Han and Tang armies.

Even the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Yinguang City, was surrounded by the Han and Tang armies, and at this time, the peripheral fortifications of the coalition forces in the Silver Light City had all been lost, and the Han and Tang armies and the troops of the Nine Nations Alliance had already launched a brutal street battle in the Silver Light City.

At the headquarters of the Nine Nations Alliance Army located in the territory of the Black Bear Empire, the War Minister of the Silver Wolf Empire, Luca, said to the War Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Rofika, almost pleadingly: "Marshal Rofika, we can't let the allied forces in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province retreat again!"

In that case, all the territories of our Silver Wolf Empire in the New World will be occupied by the Han and Tang Empires! ”

The War Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Rofika, said helplessly: "Marshal Luca, the border defense lines of the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have been perfected.

Withdraw more troops of the coalition army to the border defense line of the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, so as to better resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies.

As for the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province, to be honest, there is no need to stick to it anymore. ”

Luca, the Minister of War of the Silver Wolf Empire, said unwillingly: "As long as we give the Silver Wolf Empire a little more time, our Silver Wolf Empire can also expand more army units and invest them in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province."

Moreover, at present, the countries of the Nine-Nation Military Alliance still have a large number of army units in their hands that have not been incorporated into the coalition forces, and our General Headquarters of the Nine-Nation Alliance can completely ......."

Luca's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Luo Fika, "Marshal Luca, the armies of our Nine Nations Alliance have lost a large number of troops in the four provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire, and the entire alliance is worthy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Now the coalition forces are in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiangxuelan Province, and they can only defend a dozen large cities.

What's worse is that most of the urban areas of these dozen cities have been bombed into ruins by the air force of the Han and Tang Empires, and there is really no need to defend them any longer.

I can understand your feelings, but for the sake of the entire nine-nation military alliance, I can only let the coalition continue to retreat strategically. ”

In the palace of Silver City, the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Emperor Joselu did not show anger after receiving a telegram from the Minister of War Luca.

In fact, at this time, Emperor Joselu himself knew in his heart that the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiang Xuelan Province could not be saved.

"Igna, what do you think?" Emperor Joselu asked in a deep voice.

As the first heir to the throne of the Silver Wolf Empire, Igna, the governor of the Silver Wolf Empire, returned to the Silver Light City on the side of the orc world through the different time and space nodes in the Silver Wolf Empire.

Igna pondered for a moment and said, "Without the assistance of other countries' armies, it will be difficult to hold the remaining cities in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiangxuelan Province, but I suggest not giving up Silver Light City easily.

In the city of Yinguang City, there is a node connected to the different time and space nodes of Yinguang City, so that reinforcements and various combat materials can be continuously transported to Yinguang City.

With the strength of our Silver Wolf Empire, holding on to a city should be able to hold it, as long as Silver Light City does not fall, our Silver Wolf Empire retains the opportunity to counterattack. ”

Emperor Joseru's face was a little hesitant, "But without air supremacy, the disadvantage of the troops defending Silverlight City is too great."

In the previous city defense battles, the Han and Tang armies relied on their air superiority to fight against the sky in terms of casualty ratio.

The coalition army on the defending side is 'ten', while the Han and Tang armies on the attacking side are 'one'.

I'm worried that after our Silver Wolf Empire has paid a huge number of casualties, there is still no way to defend Silver Light City. ”

Emperor Joselu was completely frightened by the Han and Tang armies, and up to now, the Silver Wolf Empire had lost more than 26 million people in this war.

Loss here refers to complete disappearance.

You must know that before the war, the total population of the Silver Wolf Empire was only 160 million, which means that the Silver Wolf Empire had already lost about one-fifth of its population in this war, and most of them were still young and strong men.

Now the regular army of the Silver Wolf Empire has begun to recruit young and strong women from the wolf clan and the dog clan to enlist in the army, but fortunately, the young and strong women of the wolf clan and the dog clan are physically strong, and after training, they can also become qualified soldiers.

But the army of the Silver Wolf Empire, even the young and strong women of the wolf clan and the dog clan began to recruit, which shows how bad the situation of the Silver Wolf Empire is.

Igna said in a deep voice: "Father, no matter how difficult it is, you have to defend it.

Silverlight City is the second capital of our Silver Wolf Empire, and if even Silverlight City is lost, it will be the heaviest blow to the morale of the entire empire. ”
