History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 12: The Age of Exhaustion

【...... On the battlefield of Inandi, Boris put a lot of energy into supporting the Boemi and the Indoland against Portlu, and in this regard, it can be said that Boris has a vital and irreplaceable role. 】

[Imagine that without Boris's large material support and intervention troops, the Indolands might have survived the exhaustion period, but the Boemis would have been annihilated by the Boeloos, and without Boris's large navy, the Boerews would soon be able to flank the Boemis by water, and the war would have been even worse.] 】

[And the route of Boris to support the Boemians is mainly to gather at Willis in the old channel of the original Bourbon, and then arrive at Astor for the final inspection before sailing, and then sail directly all the way to Sarikun to provide support to the Boemis in Sarikun. 】

[Sometimes, if there is spare power, and the Inandi also asks Boris for help, Boris will continue north from Sarikun and sail to the coastal port of the Inandi to provide support to the Inanddi. 】

[From here, it can be seen that Boris's route to support the battlefield of Indo-Andy is basically the route used during the Cornigta trade in the past, and it is precisely for this reason that Boris began to recruit the descendants of the merchants who participated in the Cornigta trade on a large scale in the past, so that they can re-copy the old business of their ancestors. 】

[And Potlou also knows this clearly, so since the Boemi uprising in 2076, Potlou has clearly determined his first strategic goal, to go north to capture Sarikun, and it is best to capture the seaside city of Subak on the other side of Sarikun, cut off the port supported by Boris, and then slowly map it. 】

[And after the uprising of the Indo-Andi and the Boemi in 2078, this strategy has not changed, but the scope has been expanded a little.] Portloo's understanding of the Indo-Andy battlefield is very clear, that is, Boris is the key to this battlefield, and only by cutting off Boris's support for the Indo-Andy battlefield can Portloo win the war. 】

[The process of India's involvement in the war, I have already mentioned it a little earlier, and I am carefully explaining it here, so that readers can present the strange and unpredictable situation in India's land at that time. 】

[After more than 400 years of aristocratic republic, the Duvo family gradually gained irreplaceable authority in India, so the Duvo dynasty was established in 1863, but only 133 years later, the Duvo dynasty was overthrown in the "Leedlu War", and the Potrus set foot on the Indu. 】

[The Duvo Dynasty's resistance to Potruw made Portlou very dissatisfied, so Potlou chose the Momad family, who had always been friendly with him, to replace the Duvo Dynasty, and established the Momaden Dynasty in 1986, and the official name of Inandi was changed from "Storm Cult" to the humiliating "Minor Storm Cult of Ingona". 】

[The rule of the Momades over the Inandi was under the authority of the Portlough, just as the Bourbons of Naboba were with Boris.] However, unlike Bourbon, due to his location, Portlou was almost out of control of the Indolands, and could only control some of the major cities, so the local nobility of the Indolands still maintained their old authority in the towns and villages. 】

[It is for this reason that the rule of the Momad dynasty over Inandi was very fragile, with little to no armed force of its own, and heavily dependent on the garrison of Portlou, while the nobility of Indoland maintained considerable authority in Taiwina (the capital of Indo). 】

[Therefore, when the Boemi revolted, even though In'andi was a vassal state of Portru, Portlu still sent his prince Kutumat to give a speech to In'andi to persuade him not to join the Boemi. The persuasion here is not a persuasion to the unauthoritarian Momad dynasty, but a persuasion to the nobles of the Indo-Andi who are really powerful. 】

[And what happened after that, as I mentioned in the previous chapter, Kutumat's persuasion was ignored by the Indo-Andian nobles, and the Indo-Andi nobility council set aside the Momad dynasty and directly signed the "Agreement on the Voluntary Return of the Boemi Guard" with the Boemi without the permission of the Momad dynasty, and went hostile with the Boemi. 】

[In the process of contacting the Indian and Boemi to sign an agreement, the most active person is undoubtedly Xiu Yi, the son of Xiu Yi of the Duvo family, who is 38 years old and has incomparably strong vitality and thinking ability, and is ambitious as a leader, willing to lead the way for the kings of the major nobles. 】

[After signing the agreement, Xiu Yi walked straight into the palace with the army of nobles, threw the agreement at the table of Lul II (the current hereditary Archbishop of Storm in India), and said: "We have decided to unite with the Boamis, so now, our leader, do you want to choose us, or submit to the foreign conquerors?"]

[Translator's note: Luhr was named only by the Bourbon lineage, and the traditional name of the Ingona people was that there was no name for Luhr, and the Momad dynasty named the heir Luhr, undoubtedly to please Portoux.] 】

[It is said that after hearing this, Luer II immediately turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "This is not good, you will bring the destruction of the land of India.] ”】

[And Xiu Yi shouted sharply: "Isn't it possible to submit to Potlu and not let the land of India be destroyed? Even if resistance brings destruction, it is only the difference between standing and kneeling!"]

[At that time, there were many guards around Lul II, and the Ingona guards thought it was true after hearing this, and admired Xiu Ti's deep understanding of righteousness, while the head of the Bodelu palace was angry and ordered the guards to arrest Xiu Ti, who immediately ordered his own private soldiers to protect him, and then calmly escaped from Tai Weina. 】

[After escaping from Taiwina, Xiu Ti made a message to all of India: "The Momad dynasty has finally chosen to continue to be a dog, and he is not worthy to be our Archbishop of the Storm. ”】

[With Xiu's announcement, an aristocratic uprising broke out throughout India, and Portlu's small garrison in Indialand was soon divided and surrounded, and was trapped in the defense. 】

[Therefore, after the rebellion in India, Portlu temporarily changed the battle plan, they need to mobilize the army to Indialand first, not to conquer Indialand - Portlu did not want to conquer Indialand quickly, but to rescue the troops trapped in various parts of India, especially the nobles in the army. 】

[Portloo's rescue of the Indo's lone army ended in 2080, and even Lul II and his people were rescued by Potloo in case of emergency.] Potloo was able to rescue the lone soldiers, except for some who were actually rescued by himself, and those who were in the interior were exchanged for ransom. 】

[Boris sent advisers to the Indo-Andi and Boamis, and Boris's advisers suggested that the first was to secure the coastal zone for both sides so that they could get Boris's support, and the second was that the two sides should capture the Te Avi Guard as much as possible so that they could fight together. 】

[It turned out to be a bad idea, so I don't know who the advisor who made this suggestion was, but it caused a lot of damage to the Indolands and Boemi until Napolica VII strongly advised it, and the strategy really deteriorated, and it was stopped by Lotas IV.] 】

The reason why this strategy is bad is not to secure the coastal zone, which anyone with a military vision knows is necessary, but to connect the areas controlled by both sides. 】

[In fact, Napolika VII later analyzed that since the territory of the Boemi and the Indo-andi was not connected from the beginning, but was separated by the Teavisiwei of Poelou, it was okay to carry out a strategic deceptive offensive to contain the Boewi army, and it would be foolish to really try to capture the Teavisiwei Station. 】

[First, the strength of the armies of the Inandi and Boemi is already weaker than that of the Portlous, and even if the Portlots face a two-front battlefield, they should not let the army abandon the strong city walls, go out to attack the city in the field, and fight with the Portlou to attrition. 】

[The second point is that the Invats of the Aveisi are now in love. The Ivis is a province governed by the Invats of the Portlous, who have a deep hatred for both the Boemis and the Ingonas, so they ignore the Inandi's efforts and are willing to fight to the death for the Potru, which is what the Invats do. 】

[After several attacks, Potlou realized the intentions of the Inandi and the Boemi, so he let them go into the field, and then united with the Invats to annihilate their main force at once, which took place in 2086 in the "Battle of Erinado", the heavy losses of the Inandi refused to continue to follow the advice of the Boris advisors, and completely retreated back to the country. 】

[After the "Battle of Erinado", the Indoland lost the possibility of field warfare, and the Portlou began to stride towards the Hindian, completely cutting off the connection between the Indolands and the Boemi, and with the two port cities of Teasi and Ericama being completely controlled by the Portru, it was difficult for Boris's fleet to sail from Sarikun to support the Indo. 】

[With the fiasco of the "Battle of Erinado", the domestic forces of India and Andi also began to reshuffle. 】

[Initially, after the expulsion of the Momad dynasty in 2078, the first person to be elected as the temporary hereditary archbishop of Storm was Ranmodo, the son of Kandy of the Landoro family, who had the largest army. The Landoro family obeyed Portou during the Momad Dynasty, and as soon as the Momad Dynasty was expelled, the Landoro family immediately defected, and it can be said that it was a grass-like family. 】

[Ranmodor originally wanted to be crowned hereditary Archbishop of Storm, but unfortunately, although the Landoro family had the largest army, it did not have an advantage in the whole country, and because of the obedience to Portolu's past, many nobles did not trust the Landoro family, and in the end, Ranmodor could only temporarily replace this nondescript form of temporary rule. 】

[After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Erinado, Ranmodo's authority was dealt a fatal blow, and he had no choice but to give up his position as temporary ruler under the pressure of Xiu Ti, and Xiu Ti became the new ruler of In'andi. 】

[At the inauguration ceremony, Xiu Yi said that the Duvo family did not dare to be crowned directly during the war, after all, the Duvo family had lost power for a hundred years, and it had long since lost its original strength, so Xiu Yi newly established the position of Governor, and let himself be appointed as an officer, and bluntly said that before the end of the war, he would rule the Indian Land in the form of a Governor and do cheap things. 】

[In the remaining 10 years of the Exhaustion Era, there are not many things worth recording on the battlefield of India, so I can only briefly mention it. 】

[The Boemians have lost almost all their territory, leaving only the two lonely cities of Sarikun and Subak, which are described as isolated cities without any embellishment, these two main cities have lost all the territory except the main city, and even the official roads between each other are occupied by the Portrus. 】

[In fact, the Boemi did not have any food income, and before the armistice, the Boemi were all dependent on Boris for food, and they were extremely dependent on Boris for weapons. 】

[Fortunately, the inner city connected to the port area is still defended, and the situation of Subak is quite miserable, because Portlou has already entered Subak, and the defenders of Subak can only retreat to the port area, build a wall in the port area for defense, and have begun to rely heavily on the reinforcements provided by Boris. 】

[Under the command of Xiu Yi, Yin Andi is in a better situation, and can also buy supplies from Konigta at an expensive price. After the fall of a third of the country, Xiu Yi relied on rivers and mountains to barely defend against Portlu, and even occupied the eastern part of the Te Ai Wei Xi Guard, so as to build a defense system. 】
