Chapter 276: Three-legged

This war, if you can describe it in two words, is: tragic.

The Bauhinia Empire sent a total of two legions of soldiers, a total of more than 20,000 people, to kill the Chalmers Province, plus the local soldiers of Chalmers Province, nearly 30,000 people, to launch a large-scale military attack on the Gur tribe.

Before leaving, the general who led the troops had promised His Majesty the Emperor that it would take a month at most to pack up all the barbarians and submit them, but this grand wish of his was not fulfilled until he was dismissed.

The Gur people do not have many soldiers, they are not well-equipped enough, and they can't do anything about strategy and tactics, but they have an advantage, that is, they are familiar with geography, since you have so many people, we can't beat them, so we don't fight, just run into the deep mountains and old forests, there, one husband is a pass, no matter how many of you are, it is useless.

The Gur people have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for generations, and the cliffs and dense jungles are their territory, where they are like fish in water, and they are very smart not to confront the officers and soldiers head-on, but to harass them, specifically targeting logistics and grain and grass, and the ghosts are just a few people, which can make the large number of Bauhinia Empire troops unable to move for several days.

At this moment, the Bauhinia Empire can be regarded as a bitter battle, it is not to fight, it is not to fight, it is not to fight, if it is not to fight, it will not find anyone, it will be completely led by the nose and run around, and it has been following the butts of the indigenous tribes of the Gur tribe to eat ashes, and without fighting, then all the preparations made before have been done in vain, and all the rhetoric has become a void.

Therefore, in an emergency, without getting any favorable information, for the sake of the face of the royal family and his own future prospects, the general directly formulated a large-scale offensive strategy. Began to launch a carpet search on the deep mountains and old forests where the Gur people lived.

However, he forgot that this was the home of the Gur people, and that his soldiers might have been very brave in fighting on the flat land, but in this dense and sunless deep mountain forest, full of traps and miasma, their courage and golden iron horses were completely useless.

The Gur took advantage of the terrain and used their primitive weapons. Launched a sneak attack and defensive counterattack against the Bauhinia Empire's troops, and their ancestors have lived here for so many years, no matter how backward they are, they all know where this place is the key point. A few stones, a pair of wood. It's a humble fortress. Relying on their geographical advantages, they dealt a heavy blow to the officers and men, and the battle loss ratio was even as high as 1 to 27 at one point...... It's not a number on the field, it's a real battle statistic. In any battle, such a terrible battle loss ratio is unacceptable.

All of a sudden. The face of the Bauhinia Empire plummeted, and being beaten so disgraced by a group of natives who didn't even know how to wear clothes really made the imperial nobles who had been boasting about it have no place to put their faces.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and felt that all this was caused by the uselessness of the general in charge of the command at that time. At the sound of an order, the front was replaced, and the previous general, who had boasted that it would only take a month at most to end the battle, was removed from his post and returned to the imperial capital to stand trial.

But is it necessarily useful to change people?

Useless!

The new general, the first thing he did after he came, was to re-analyze the current situation, reformulate countermeasures, all the decisions made by the previous general, all abandoned, it looks very new, but the old saying is good, changing generals in battle, is a taboo for soldiers, plus the new general is more or less overkill, and many good decisions of the previous general have been denied.

In this way, the result can be imagined.

According to the general's plan, it was to surround them but not fight, in his words, that is, the Gur people did not farm, and there was not enough food, and other daily necessities were also quite scarce, so they were surrounded and let them starve to death......

However, he still forgot that this was the home of the Gur people, and they did not know how to cultivate food, but there were edible wild vegetables, sweet wild fruits, countless wild beasts, and sweet and clear spring water. The soldiers of the Bauhinia Empire didn't know what to eat here, but the Gur people knew, they all knew, because they had been here for generations.

The plan to surround but not fight lasted for less than three months, and it could no longer be supported.

This is because the Gur people can obtain food from local materials, while the troops of the Bauhinia Empire need to transport food and other scarce supplies from the rear, which is a long distance, difficult and expensive, and in the dense forest, this difficulty is increased by more than ten times. For three months, the Gur people showed no signs of being consumed, but the Bauhinia Empire was about to be dragged down by this huge food consumption.

In this way, it will not work.

His Majesty the Emperor at that time thought about it for a long time, and really couldn't think of a good way, he couldn't drag down the economy of the entire Bauhinia Empire because of the small land of the Gur people, and His Majesty the Emperor would never do it if he picked up sesame seeds and threw watermelons.

So, he came up with a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.

Enchanter!

Yes, there were magicians in the Bauhinia Empire at that time, and there was also a Magician Association, and the relationship between the Magic Association and the royal family of the Bauhinia Empire has always been a very good situation, but His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to invite the chairman of the Magic Association, and the two of them secretly discussed, preparing to send magicians to carry out a large-scale violent attack on those natives.

What deep mountains and old forests, what deep ditches and moats, in front of powerful magicians, those natives who can't even wear clothes are just like ants at the feet of elephants, without any strength and room for resistance, and even as long as a high-level magician goes over and casts a forbidden spell-level magic to smash it, those natives will all be killed.

Although from the actual situation, the Gur people are also the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty the Emperor, who has just succeeded to the throne for a short time, obviously does not have this consciousness, he feels that it doesn't matter if these so-called people are or not, maybe without them, his empire will be better and clearer, those damn little rats......

The president of the Magic Association agreed with his suggestion, because for these magicians who did not attach much importance to human life, the lives of a group of natives were obviously not as important as the friendship of His Majesty the Emperor, and he discussed with His Majesty the Emperor that he was ready to send a team of magicians to support the front line and end the war as quickly as possible.

They planned very carefully and carefully, but this matter, for some reason, was known to His Majesty the Pope of the Temple of Light......

Upon hearing of this, His Majesty the Pope was furious and immediately set out to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of the Bauhinia Empire and the President of the Magic Association, respectively, to express his strong protest. Although the barbarians did not worship the goddess of light, His Majesty the Pope, who was of extraordinary strength and unusually good heart, decided to protect these poor people who were ignorant, saying that there were beautiful swans and ugly crows, sunny days and rainy weather, for better or worse, that the goddess of light had given this land. And the same is true of those poor people who are ignorant, you can fight with them, but you can't brutally wipe them out, that kind of extermination, the loving goddess of light will never allow it, and as the goddess's servant in the world, I don't know it, and now that I know, I must spare no effort to prevent such a terrible thing from happening, His Majesty Religion officially declares that if the Magic Association participates in this war and uses its strength to carry out a brutal massacre of the Gur people, then, The Temple of Light will immediately declare war on the Magic Association, even if a major war breaks out that will wipe out all human beings, the Temple of Light will not hesitate.
