Chapter 317: The Queen's Expedition

Anne's pro-conquest army came to Shule Country, and now the lords of the four countries and the lords of those small countries came over as if they had met their own mothers. Field Marshal Rommel took over www.biquge.info the command of the coalition forces and placed the four-nation coalition forces on both flanks of the front, with the 100,000 Manggul army in the center. This is something that cannot be helped, the equipment of the two armies is different, and the tactics are different, and the 500,000 four-nation coalition troops can only be used as auxiliary forces.

The armies of the two sides gathered on the border of Shule State, and as soon as the banner of King Manggul appeared on the battlefield, the Hanhai Kingdom on the opposite side also erected a full moon golden wolf flag. As soon as this familiar banner representing the traditional hostile forces appeared, it attracted the attention of the Manggul army. Field Marshal Rommel accurately judged that Sumedo was the commander of the war.

"Haha, it turned out to be an old opponent, wow, this time it depends on where you run. Order, shelling enemy lines, destroying their artillery positions. ”

Boom, boom, shells flew overwhelmingly towards the Hanhai defense line, and the Hanhai Kingdom immediately launched a fierce counterattack. At this time, the gap in equipment was revealed, the artillery of Hanhai Country was a generation behind Manggul's, and the range power could not be compared with Manggul, so there was a situation where they could only be beaten passively. Manggul's artillery became more and more comfortable, and they smashed the shells towards the Hanhai defense line with their lives, and the position of the Hanhai Kingdom was shrouded in a sea of fire.

Hubrei anxiously walked into the Golden Dome King's account to meet Su Meiduo.

"Great Khan, Manggul's army has arrived. Their artillery is better than ours, we can't hit them. Great Khan, if we continue to fight like this, our casualties will be too great. ”

"Has Queen Manggul arrived?"

"Here we are."

"What about the Dragon Empire?"

"It's not there yet, but it's going to be soon."

"Then keep fighting, you can take the initiative."

"Great Khan, we have such a small number of troops, and there are not many troops in the rear to defend at all. If the Stormwind Legion comes, there is no way to resist. ”

"There's no need to resist, it won't be long before we're back in the prairie."

"Alright then, keep fighting."

The Manggul artillery who was under intense shelling, after suppressing the artillery of the Hanhai Kingdom, was about to extend the shot, but unexpectedly, with the sound of the horn, the 20,000 cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom broke out of the defense line and rushed to the position of the coalition army.

"Artillery interception, order the four-nation coalition forces to send 20,000 cavalry each to intercept."

Rommel decisively issued an order that at this time, the four-nation coalition could not be allowed to attack the Hanhai defense line, because the losses of the Hanhai State were not large, and it had not yet reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones, and attacking the defense line at this time could only increase casualties.

The 40,000 cavalry of the Four-Nation Alliance fought their way out of their positions and rushed towards the Hanhai cavalry, which was intercepted by artillery fire. In a matter of moments, 60,000 cavalry collided together and a fierce battle began. On the battlefield, thousands of horses galloped, the sound of killing shook the sky, swords and guns collided, and screams came and went. The cavalry of the Four-Nation Alliance fought hard, and although they had a numerical advantage, they were defeated by the cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom. The cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom were like mad beasts, slapping their horses and swords, howling and slashing frantically. On the battlefield, blood splattered, and skulls and severed arms flew all over the sky. Every moment someone falls to the ground, and every moment there is life ascending to heaven.

"The Four-Nation Alliance will send another 40,000 cavalry each."

Rommel frowned and ordered, and the bloody fight of Hanhai Kingdom made Rommel put away his contempt. It seems that it is definitely not a fluke that this Hanhai Kingdom can destroy dozens of small countries, but it really has this strength. Su Meiduo, as expected, should not be underestimated.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and 80,000 allied cavalry rushed up like a tide. At this time, the cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom quickly left the battlefield and rushed back to their own positions. At the same time, the artillery of the Hanhai Kingdom was once again powerful, and a string of cannonballs fell into the cavalry group of the allied forces of the four countries, causing a bloody storm.

"Artillery suppression, trumpet blowing."

Rommel did not hesitate to give the order, Manggul's artillery roared here, and the artillery counterattack of Hanhai Kingdom became weaker and weaker. When the day was on the third pole, the first contest between the two sides was temporarily suspended.

Rommel: "Your Majesty, the combat strength of the Hanhai Kingdom is really not ordinary, and the minister suggests giving full play to the advantages of our army's equipment, inducing the enemy army to attack and fight to the death with us, and taking advantage of the situation to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"I really underestimated Hanhai Kingdom, who are they commanding?"

"The minister is probably Su Meiduo."

"What? Sumedo. Why do you judge this way? ”

"The minister saw the full moon golden wolf flag with golden tassels, and there was no one else here except Su Meiduo who had this qualification."

"Just do as you say, I'm going to see how capable this Sumeduo is."

In this way, the battlefield, which had not been calm for a long time, was again filled with the sound of artillery. This time, Rommel ordered the cavalry of the Four-Nation Alliance to attack in small and multiple batches, so as to lure the cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom to attack. However, Hanhai Kingdom relied on artillery fire to intercept and block the enemy, and it just did not fight.

On the high ground behind the battle line, Sumedo observed the entire battlefield with clairvoyance.

"It's the veteran, it's Rommel. He was the one who almost stopped me at the Hongjila Pass. Hehe, the old man's battle is getting bigger and better. Well? Who's that? ”

Su Meiduo inadvertently looked at the Gripen Banner with clairvoyance, and saw a person sitting on a white horse under the Gripen, full of armor and wearing a golden crown, looking not very old. Sumedo found that the man was also looking at himself with clairvoyance.

"Hehe, it must be Queen Manggul, and the only woman who can be the king in this world is me and you, interesting."

Anne was also observing Sumedo, too far away that even in clairvoyance, she could only see a rough idea.

"That must be Sumedo, the only queen besides me, and I really want to meet her. She's looking at me too, is she provoking? Well, then let you see the majesty of Manggul. ”

"Field Marshal Rommel, destroy enemy positions with fortified artillery."

"Yes, my Queen."

The roar of the fortified artillery is really earth-shattering. As soon as a huge cannonball landed on the position of the Hanhai Kingdom, it directly smashed a big crater, and the fortifications and pillboxes that were hit were scattered in all directions, and the soldiers of the Hanhai Kingdom who were blown up were divided by shrapnel in the air, and a puff of blood was sprinkled from the air, and the ground was also dyed red.

Su Meiduo frowned and said, "That person is really generous to you, and he is willing to give you such a powerful cannon." Hubre, cavalry sortie. ”

"Kill!"

30,000 cavalry rushed out of the position and braved the artillery fire to rush to the coalition position, although the attack at this moment was in danger of being hit by artillery fire, but it could effectively attract the artillery fire of the enemy artillery and create time for repairing the position. The cavalry of the Four-Nation Alliance also fought out of their positions and collided with the cavalry of the Hanhai Kingdom, and the tragic hand-to-hand combat was once again fiercely staged.

In this way, the two sides went back and forth, fighting from noon until twilight before they withdrew their troops. The two sides counted their casualties, and the coalition forces suffered more casualties of about 10,000 people, while the Manggul army suffered no casualties. The casualties of the Hanhai Kingdom were basically the same as those of the coalition forces. The first day of fighting between the two sides ended in a draw.

If you want to say that Manggul's equipment is better than that of Hanhai Kingdom, why is it a tie? This is a question of tactics and commanders. The commanders of both sides of the war no longer put the consumption of local vitality in the first place, and the Hanhai Kingdom relied on complete fortifications to resist the attack of the coalition forces, and the casualties were not large. That is, after the arrival of Manggul's army, nearly 10,000 dead and wounded appeared, which is also the reason why Marshal Rommel commanded properly. Fighting a war is not as everyone thinks, coming up and fighting a decisive battle, and then coming up and stumbling to the end. To put it bluntly, fighting a war is actually a fight for attrition, and if you die fewer people and persist until the end, you will win.

Manggul's battle on this day was not for nothing, the artillery of Hanhai Kingdom suffered heavy losses, almost half of the artillery was lost, this loss was irreparable for Hanhai Kingdom, and Manggul did not have to worry, only after a day of bombardment, Hanhai Kingdom's artillery as a barrier would be exhausted, and then it would be the time for the two sides to fight a decisive battle.

In the Manggul camp, Rommel was summing up the day's battle, which was also instructing Anne on how to use her strengths to win the war.

"Marshal Rommel, he played very well today, and I believe that one more day will be able to break through the defensive line. By that time, the artillery of the Hanhai Kingdom will be exhausted, and I will see what Sumedo will fight with me. ”

"Your Majesty should not be proud, war is actually a competition of national strength. Hanhai Country is not on the same level as China, and it is normal to defeat Hanhai Country. What His Majesty has to consider is how to reduce his losses with the certainty of victory. Su Meiduo is also battle-hardened, and her command ability is no worse than anyone else's, but she blindly expands and takes a stupid move, which is really self-defeating. ”

"Well, I really want to meet her, it is said that she was only a teenager when she was the Great Khan, and that was the year she broke through the Urakan defense line and took the sky wolf and the grassland into her pocket, and restored the glory of the Rong Ministry, what a strange woman."

"Yes, if she hadn't finally broken through the Yanmen Pass and destroyed Dayan, if she had stayed on the grassland, it might have really created a strong country. But history has no ifs, and there is no turning back when you go out with this step, so Your Majesty must think carefully about whatever you do in the future. ”

"yes, I see."

In the camp of Hanhai State, after listening to Hubrei's report on casualties, Su Meiduo only said: "At midnight, the whole army retreated to the second line of defense. ”

At dawn the next day, the prepared Manggu army was about to launch an attack, but found that the position of the Hanhai Kingdom was full of birds. When he sent a scout back to report that the Hanhai Kingdom had withdrawn, Rommel thumped himself in frustration.

"I was careless, and I let them withdraw like this. This was my mistake, and it definitely didn't look like it was going to withdraw its troops when it was fighting. I underestimated Su Meiduo, no wonder Rong can deal with Dayan for so long, Su Meiduo is really cunning. The whole army marched in unison, maintaining speed so as not to give the enemy a chance. ”

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched in groups at the same time, and without encountering the slightest obstacle along the way, they easily regained the two small countries. The lords of the two small kingdoms happily returned to their palaces, and brought a lot of cattle and sheep to Anne and the Manggul army. This made Anne a little surprised, why didn't Sumedo occupy so many countries, why didn't she move all the supplies, and what kind of conspiracy did she have. (To be continued.) )
