CH.82 Combining Rigidity and Softness
An Rui's orders were strictly enforced.
The Nova Empire's offensive strategy became much more ruthless, and the vanguard was divided into several units, searching for the forces of the Sea Breeze Country in various places, and once they found it, they would not show mercy and annihilate them all. As for the soldiers of the Sea Breeze Country lurking in the city, they also tried their best to find out one by one and execute them in public.
This approach is much more cruel than when it was against the White Bear Ancient Kingdom.
War should emphasize both rigidity and softness, and make appropriate adjustments according to different situations. The country of the sea breeze is stubborn and ineffective, leading to this kind of disaster.
Anrui expanded in a steady manner, leaving behind a heavy army for each city he captured, a heavy force strong enough to withstand the sneak attack of the Seabreeze Nation soldiers, and connecting the cities together with portals. When one city is attacked, the other cities will immediately send troops to help.
This tactic effectively restrained the tactics of the Sea Breeze Country, and the Sea Breeze Country fought several guerrilla wars after that, all of which ended in failure.
Through the Guò Portal, the Nova Empire, and the White Bear State Land continue to increase their forces to provide follow-up forces for the invasion.
This time, Anrui was much slower to destroy the enemy government, but every time he attacked a place, he was able to defend a place, and in terms of time, it didn't change much.
The brutal strategy brought about the same effect as Huairou's strategy, and some of the officers and soldiers of the Sea Breeze Nation who were hiding were afraid of being killed, so they surrendered one after another and surrendered to the Nova Empire. For this kind of voluntary surrender, An Rui will not kill it, but will give preferential treatment.
Resistance is equal to death, and surrender is equal to promotion and knighthood. This situation prompted more and more officers and men to surrender, forming a trend of sparks burning the prairie fire.
A month later. The forces of the Nova Empire captured sixty percent of the cities of Seabreeze Country.
A month and a half later, a high-ranking official of the Sea Breeze Nation betrayed his former king and secretly reported to the Nova Empire where the king was hiding. An Rui personally killed him. With his own sword, he gave the king death.
Two months later, the Sea Breeze State ceased to exist and was replaced by the Sea Breeze State. This land became the new territory of the Nova Empire.
Before the situation in the Sea Breeze State could stabilize, An Rui left the state to the department that established the regime, and he commanded a large army and went straight to the neighboring country of the Sea Breeze State, the "Black Reef Country".
The two countries are in union state. The Black Reef Nation had sent some troops to support its allies before, but unfortunately those few troops were not enough for An Ruisai's teeth, so he easily ate them.
During the fight against the Sea Breeze Country. An Rui was already ready to attack the Black Reef Country, and inquired a lot of news, and learned that the Black Reef Country had concentrated its troops, weapons, and property in a military fortress, and put on a posture that could not hold out. This fortress is the largest and strongest fortress in the Black Reef Nation. And it is left over from ancient times. It is somewhat similar to the Canghai Demon Palace.
If Sea Breeze Country was a cunning and nimble fox before, then Black Reef Country is now a big turtle with a shrunken head.
This kind of tactic is also difficult for An Rui, in the face of absolute strength, these little tricks are really vulnerable.
After landing on Blackreef, Anrui left the towns behind and drove straight into the military fortress with a large army. When he arrived at the military fortress, he led many strong men, including Quasimodo, to attack. He also released the dragon king. An Rui and the others were responsible for the main attack and attracted the troops of the military fortress. Quasimodo, on the other hand, is responsible for infiltrating and wreaking havoc inside the military fortress.
Under internal and external attacks, the military fortress was conquered in only an hour, and the king of Blackreef committed suicide by poisoning himself in a secret room, ending his life as king. Encountering an invader like An Rui can only be regarded as unlucky.
The Black Reef State became the Black Reef State.
Now, only one of the three great powers remains, and this country is called "Winter Country", which is quite far away, almost equivalent to the southernmost point of the planet.
After winning two countries in a row, the officers and men were sleepy and tired, and it was quite hard. Considering this problem, An Rui chose a short period of recuperation, and by the way, he consolidated the power of the two new continents and stabilized the dìng. Of course, brainwashing work is still indispensable, and newly trained propagandists have been sent to these two countries to carry out brainwashing work on civilians, and they can be washed one by one.
During this time, An Rui regrouped his troops, replaced some of the tired officers and soldiers, and added some new ones.
Some bad rumors gradually increased, and the people of the other six seas were dissatisfied with the crazy expansion of the Nova Empire, especially the several empires of the crown sea. All kinds of remarks attacking the Nova Empire have emerged one after another, and An Rui has been described as a demon king who has destroyed all living beings.
Anrui knew that these remarks were deliberately instigated. He knows how to stir people's hearts, and so do others.
The Holy Cross and the World Chamber of Commerce and other forces are also quite dissatisfied with this, especially the Holy Cross, a religious organization that is very averse to large-scale wars. In the past, the Holy Cross was often condemned by the Crown Sea's major empires, but now it is aimed at the Nova Empire.
Compared with the previous major empires, the Nova Empire invaded other countries much faster, and it was simply a rough cannibalization whale swallow. Although the Nova Empire has adopted many strategies to avoid casualties, war is war, and war is death.
It is rumored that the Nova Empire has killed hundreds of thousands of people in these wars, and some even say that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed!
These statements have great moisture, and An Rui himself knows that after several wars, less than 30,000 people died at most, which is not as exaggerated as rumors from the outside world. But 30,000 people is enough, so he didn't plan to clear his name, and he was convicted of these charges.
The rumors and rumors in other seas can't stop Anrui's march.
After a short rest, Anrui once again led his troops to attack the Winter Country. In the previous two defeated countries, many people fled to the Winter Country by boat, which made the country much stronger. Due to the distance, many of the spies sent out never returned, and died on the way, and the information transmitted back was quite at least. An Rui didn't know the specific situation of the Winter Country now.
After a long voyage, the fleet finally reached the extreme south of the planet, to the border of the Winter Country.
Absorbing the experience of the previous time, An Rui did not lead his troops to land rashly, but first sent some scouts to let the scouts land to investigate. The results of the investigation were quickly passed back, and the results surprised Anrui.
There is a similar situation in the Winter Country as in the Sea Breeze Country, the troops of the major cities are gone, but these troops are not hiding, but they have fled the country with the king!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the king of this country simply gave up his resistance and fled with men and a large amount of treasure, and became a government in exile. Before leaving, the king destroyed the military installations and mining in various places, and took all the finances he could, leaving a dilapidated shell state to Anrui! (To be continued......)
