Gallic dynasty, Vik City.

With the strong rise of the Spanish dynasty, the Gallic dynasty has become the lowest of the six major dynasties in Europe.

Therefore, Henry's troubles were no less than William's.

Although the Gallic dynasty had six million players, one million more than the Gundors, their military operations in West Africa were similarly stumbling, and so far only one small country, Liberia, had been captured.

Such a result was only a drop in the bucket for the Gallic dynasty, and it was not enough to change anything.

This is not yet a headache for Henry.

What worried Henry the most was the poor geographical position of the Gallic dynasty.

In the southwest, the Gaul Dynasty and the Spanish Dynasty were bounded by the Pyrenees, and the Southeast and the Caesar Dynasty were bounded by the Alps.

However, in the northeast, the Gaul Dynasty and the Germanic Dynasty belonged to the Nordic Plain, and the endless vast plains could not bring a strategic buffer to the Gaul Dynasty at all.

Once the Silver Hand wanted to encircle the Germanic dynasties, the Gauls bore the brunt.

It's very passive.

Henry didn't believe the nonsense of the organization, saying that it could be decided in a battle.

The Germanic Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, and if it really has to face the encirclement and suppression of the five major dynasties, it is bound to fight to the death. The Gallic Dynasty, which is at the bottom of the strength and has no natural dangers to defend, is not the best target for attack.

In this way, the organization benefited, but the Gallic dynasty may not be able to survive.

Therefore, while the Germanic dynasty was actively expanding outward, Henry was unable to sleep, but he was limited to the geographical pattern, and he was powerless to change anything, so he could only wait for the coming of the great war.

Henry was looking forward to a turnaround.

…………

September 15, Jingshi.

Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to take care of the European continent for the time being, so the day before yesterday, Emperor Chen sent a letter saying that he had arrived in Europe and would visit the six dynasties one by one in the near future.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo did not have much hope.

If he wants to tear open the gap between the two major organizations, Ouyang Shuo still needs an opportunity.

However, Zhang Yi's first round of negotiations with the Mongol Empire made Ouyang Shuo a little disappointed, and Genghis Khan promised the Great Xia army to take advantage of the matter of the Ogedai Khanate, but he was unwilling to put down his body and surrender to Great Xia.

Negotiations stalled.

Ouyang Shuo was also very simple, directly recalled Zhang Yi, and said: "There is only one chance, and the next time the Mongol Empire wants to talk, it will have to send someone to Beijing to talk." ”

What worries Ouyang Shuo the most is naturally the Tubo War.

In the past few days, the army of the Fourth Route of Great Xia has fought desperately and continuously attacked the city and uprooted the village, and has cut off the first line of defense in Tibet and obtained a stable forward base.

The two million Great Xia troops finally set foot on the land of Tibet.

At the same time, the 500,000 forbidden troops of the Ashoka Dynasty, together with a large amount of grain and grass materials, also arrived in Tibet, and the war of the century between the two dynasties was considered a full-scale war.

Nearly 4 million troops will fight to the death on the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This battle blocked the national fortunes of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Ashoka Dynasty, and no matter which side it was, it could not afford the price of defeat.

However, because of the different starting points, the attitudes of the two sides are different.

The Ashoka Dynasty wanted to defend Tibet and defend its glory, so it fought more conservatively and focused on retreating from the enemy. On the contrary, Great Xia was originally fighting very aggressively with the cruel purpose of consuming the troops of both sides.

One attack and one defense, the effect is naturally different.

Under the unified command of Li Jing, under the deployment of the commander of the Fourth Route Army and the generals, the two million troops formed a black line, advancing from east to west.

No matter how many or few enemies stand in their way, they are fearless.

Because the fighting was too fierce, the cities captured by the Great Xia army were basically full of devastation, and some were even bombarded into ruins by artillery, and wolf smoke was everywhere.

The Ashoka Dynasty was also ruthless, in addition to transporting grain and grass from the mainland, in order to save costs, it was even more in Tubo to scrape the ground, and the whole Tubo was full of complaints.

On September 20, a Tibetan army attempted to rebel, but it was not secretive, and was informed in advance by the Ashoka army, but instead fell into the trap of the Ashoka Dynasty, and all 50,000 soldiers were killed.

50,000 heads were built into a super Beijing temple, piled up on the outskirts of the city, for people to see.

As soon as the news came out, it shook the whole of Tibet.

When Emperor Ashoka got the news, he said: "The Tibetan aliens, who don't know the grace of heaven, should be killed!" ”

Without doing anything, Emperor Ashoka simply ordered that the Tibetan royal family be slaughtered, and the entire Tibetan army was under military control, but all young and middle-aged people were forcibly conscripted, either to assist in defending the city, or to be requisitioned to transport grain and grass.

Such crazy acts turned Tibet into purgatory.

The crazy means do not mean that Ashoka has no brains, from the attitude of the Great Xia Army, he has already glimpsed that the significance of this war to the Ashoka Dynasty has long gone beyond the scope of Tubo.

If this battle cannot be won, the Ashoka dynasty will no longer have a foothold.

Emperor Ashoka was even worried that once Great Xia won, he would take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill directly to the Ashoka Dynasty itself.

Under such circumstances, the life and death of the Tibetan people is not enough.

"Everything is in the service of war, as long as this war is won, it is to turn all the Tibetan people into slaves, and they will not be able to resist. If you can't win, it's even more so that you don't mention it. Ashoka said.

To this end, Emperor Ashoka did not hesitate to wield a butcher's knife to squeeze out the last trace of Tibet's war potential.

Ashoka's iron-blooded methods, with immediate results.

In the case of smooth logistics and supply, the morale of the Ashoka army on the front line was greatly boosted, and they gathered the city to defend it, and it was inseparable from the Great Xia army by virtue of its geographical convenience.

Every time a city was breached, the Great Xia army had to pay a heavy price.

In order not to affect the morale of the army, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army can only adopt a rotation system, using the corps as a unit, and sending troops to the battlefield one after another, which is regarded as training.

Taking the right-wing Qin army as an example, there were five regular corps, and the remaining 150,000 were reserves.

What is a Reserve?

That is, when the corps is damaged in battle, it can directly replenish the troops from the reserves, and the next day it can be restored to full strength. In this way, it can not only ensure that the regiment is always in a state of full strength, but also not demoralize due to excessive casualties.

And it worked.

The soldiers who were in charge of the siege that day, although they felt that their companions were constantly being killed, returned to the camp at night, but they never felt that the camp was empty, as if there were not many dead.

Although it is an illusion, it is very soothing.

In this way, early the next morning, the soldiers were able to regain their spirits, and with their new companions, they went to the battlefield with great energy.

Under the tempering of iron and fire, those who can always be immortal are the real elite.

It's brutal, but it's a real battlefield.

In fact, if you look at the big picture, it will only feel more brutal.

Taking the Right Wing Army as an example, by the end of September, after nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Qin army's 150,000 reserves had been depleted and basically exhausted.

This is still the elite of the Qin army, and the rest of the roads are even more unbearable. In particular, the Central Protector Army itself has only 380,000 people, which is only enough to reorganize four regular legions, and the remaining 100,000 people serve as reserves.

By 25 September, the 100,000 reserves of the Central Protector Army had been depleted.

At such a heavy price, on October 1, the Left Wing Army, the Central Guard Army, and the Central Route Army of Daxia finally reached the city of Luo and joined forces victoriously.
