On the morning of August 20, 3012 in the Tang calendar, Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of Sharad, arrived at Yanling City in the southern Hebei Province of the Cangyu Empire by car.

Rock Ridge City is just a county seat, but in recent days, in newspapers around the world, Rock Ridge City can be on the front page almost every day, known as the world's second army The Royal Army of Shalad, with five infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions, is on the plain north of Rock Ridge City, encountered the encirclement of the Su family army and annihilated.

While the countries of the world are shocked by this, some countries are very happy, such as the Noomi Empire, the neighbor to the west of the Sharad Empire, many people spontaneously launched various celebrations for this event, which shows that the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire not only have hatred at the national level, but even the people of both sides are in a state of hostility to each other.

In order to negotiate with the Su army as soon as possible, the Sharad Empire directly ordered Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Corps, who was leading another line of reinforcements and hastily retreated, to rush to Rock Ridge City immediately with a radio transmitter.

At this time, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Su Army's army forces, was in Yanling City, and He Yunfei had been authorized by Su Yi to negotiate with the Shalad Empire on behalf of the Su Army.

"Count Slava, on behalf of the Su Family, I welcome you to Rock Ridge City." In a conference room in the Yanling City County Ya, He Yunfei said with a smile to Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army in Sharad.

In addition to being a corps commander, Slava was also a hereditary count of the Sharad Empire, and now the royal families of several major powers in the world, including the royal family of the Sharad Empire, have abolished the right of hereditary nobles to have private armies, but many of the royal armies of various countries are hereditary nobles.

After the translator recounted He Yunfei's words in Salad, Slava smiled bitterly and said: "General He, to be honest, I am very reluctant to come to this sad place of our Royal Army of Sharad, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I hope to reach an agreement with your army as soon as possible to avoid more officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of Sharad from returning to their hometown alive." ”

He Yunfei said with a smile: "Count Slava, our Su family army is also full of sincerity for this negotiation, and now the Su family army has temporarily stopped the clean-up operation of Dingxin City and Anzhou City, just don't want to bring greater losses to both of us." ”

This time, the negotiations between the Shalad Empire and the Su Jiajun went very smoothly, and there were not many differences between the two sides, and in the end, it took only two days for He Yunfei and Slava to determine an armistice agreement agreed by both sides.

This armistice agreement stipulates that the main force of the Salad Royal Army must withdraw from the territory of the Cangyu Empire before October 1, and the Salad Royal Army can only retain no more than one brigade in each concession of the provincial capitals of the Cangyu Empire and the capital Cangyu City, and after the Su army captures a certain provincial capital or the capital Cangyu City, the Sharad Empire must unconditionally hand over the concession to the Su Army, and a brigade of the Salad Royal Army in the concession will also withdraw to the territory of the Shalad Empire.

The two sides will also unconditionally release each other's prisoners of war, including the officers and men of the Salad Royal Navy captured by the independent fleet of the Su Army, and the Su Army will make way for the five infantry corps of the surrounded Royal Army of Shalad to leave Dingxin City and Anzhou City.

The Shalad Empire must assure the Su Jiajun that after the signing of the armistice agreement, it cannot provide military and economic assistance to the Cangyu Empire in any situation.

In the end, the Shalad Empire will pay 250 million Sand Yuan to the Su Jiajun as the food expenses of hundreds of thousands of Sharad Empire prisoners of war, which is actually the war compensation of the Shalad Empire to the Su Jiajun, but in order to take care of the face of the Sharad Empire, the war indemnity was turned into the food expenses of the prisoners of war.

To the relief of the Shalad Empire, the Su Jiajun did not involve the interests of the Sharad Empire in the Liuyun Empire in this negotiation.

After the armistice agreement was formally signed between the Su army and the Salad Empire, the respective units of the Salad Royal Army in the territory of the Cangyu Empire began to withdraw from the Cangyu Empire in an orderly manner, and the five infantry corps of the Salad Royal Army, which were surrounded by the Su Army in Dingxin City and Anzhou City, also began to retreat from these two cities, and prepared to withdraw all the way to the territory of the Salad Empire.

At this time, the total of the five infantry regiments was less than 900,000 people, and more than 600,000 officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of Sharad were buried in Dingxin City and Anzhou City.

When the Salad Empire handed over the food expenses of the prisoners of war equivalent to 500 million silver dollars to the Su family's army, hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war of the Shalad Empire were also sent back to the Sharad Empire in batches by the Su family's army.

Although the Salad Empire has softened to the Su Army, the war of the Su Family Army in the Cangyu Empire has not ended, and under Su Yi's order, the millions of army units of the Su Family Army began to continue to advance towards the hinterland of the Cangyu Empire in seven ways.

Even the Royal Army of Shalad, which is well-armed and has a tenacious will to fight, is not an opponent of the Su family's army, let alone the Cangyu Imperial Army, which has backward weapons and equipment and a weak will to fight?

The army units of the Seven Roads Su Family Army, it can be said that they are all the way like a bamboo, and the advance is also very fast, almost no resistance from the Cangyu Empire army, by the end of September 3012 of the Tang Dynasty, the Su family army has completely captured the eighteen provinces of the Cangyu Empire, with a total area of about more than nine million square kilometers.

As the largest country in the Eastern Continent, the Cangyu Empire has a total of 52 provinces with a total land area of about 28 million square kilometers, that is to say, by the end of September, the Su army had occupied one-third of the Cangyu Empire.

On the afternoon of September 28, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in a large hall of the Imperial Palace of the Sharad Empire, Emperor Herris frowned and said to Prime Minister Shurik: "If our Sharad Empire does not provide weapons and ammunition to the Cangyu Empire, according to the advance speed of the Su family's army, maybe in less than three months, the entire territory of the Cangyu Empire will fall into the hands of the Su family's army." ”

Prime Minister Shurik said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in the armistice agreement with the Su family, our Shalad Empire has promised the Su family army that military and economic assistance to the Cangyu Empire cannot be carried out in any situation, and now although the Su family army is launching a large-scale attack on the Cangyu Empire, the Su family army has gathered at least two million army troops in the border area adjacent to our Sharad Empire. ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Shurik continued: "And the army of the Cangyu Empire, the combat effectiveness is really disappointing, in the face of the attack of the Su family's army, it is almost a touch of collapse, there are many Cangyu Empire's troops, just encountered the vanguard of the Su family's army, and chose to surrender collectively, even if our Shalad Empire according to the plan, 10 million breech single-shot rifles and other weapons and ammunition are given to the Cangyu Empire for free, at most, it is only the time for the Su family army to capture the entire Cangyu Empire, and push back a few months, It may not even have this effect. ”

Emperor Herris sighed and said, "It seems that our Sharad Empire will have another powerful neighbor in the future, which is really terrible news for our Sharad Empire." ”

Prime Minister Shurik then said: "Your Majesty, through this war with the Su Army, it can be seen that our Royal Army of Sharad, whether in terms of firepower or the establishment of troops, there are not a lot of problems, so the minister feels that we should carry out some reform of our Royal Army of Sharad, otherwise once we fight with the Su Army in the future, our Royal Army of Sharad may still suffer." ”

Emperor Herris immediately nodded and said: "I also think that we should make some appropriate adjustments to our Salad Royal Army, this war with the Su family army can be said to have exposed the shortcomings of our Salad Royal Army in many aspects, so let's ask Valerian to come over, and the three of us will study first, how to strengthen the combat effectiveness of our Salad Royal Army!" ”

Not long after, Valerian, the Minister of War of the Sharad Empire, came to the main hall, and heard Emperor Herris say that he was looking for him to study and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Sharad Royal Army, Valerian immediately introduced: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, after our War Department has learned about the establishment of the Su Army, we have found that the Su Army uses a completely new set of formations, and the most basic unit of the Su Army is the infantry squad, and each infantry squad is fifteen people......

Valerian then carefully introduced the establishment and firepower equipment adopted by the Su family army to Emperor Herris and Prime Minister Shurik, and finally Valerian said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have to admit that the establishment adopted by the Su family army is more reasonable than the current establishment of various countries, and the heavy firepower of an infantry division can even exceed three infantry divisions, so the minister has a suggestion, that is, to follow or learn from the establishment and firepower of the Su family army, and make an adaptation to our Royal Army of Sharad." ”

A smile appeared on Emperor Herris's face and said: "Valerian, I find that you, the Minister of War, are becoming more and more competent, and your idea actually coincides with me, since our Royal Army of Shalad was defeated by the Su Army, then we must learn from the Su Army and learn from its strengths to make up for the shortcomings of our Royal Army of Shalad, so that we can defeat the strong enemy of the Su Army in the next battle." ”

War Minister Valerian hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, now the Su family army is in the territory of the Cangyu Empire, if there is no accident, in the future, our neighbors in the east of the Sharad Empire will be replaced by the Su family army, sooner or later, our Sharad Royal Army will also fight with the Su family army again, in order to win in the next battle, it is imperative to find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of our Sharad Royal Army." ”
