Chapter 515: The final battle of the Bourbon Sea (17) The Eastern Front rises again
Listening to the impassioned speech of Luhr, the son of Mines of the Felmar family, on the square of Felmar, and strongly opposing the country's withdrawal of troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, Cardoch III's face suddenly became very ugly, and he subconsciously thought that Lul was trying to do wrong, and he was embarrassing himself.
To be honest, the time between this war and the outbreak of the last war is too long, a full seventy years, almost all the old people who have been on the battlefield have passed away, and the older generation can only trace the memories of the deceased from their own memories, and then fight childishly.
Yes, although the bandits, barbarians, and mobs have always been the plague of the nation's dysentery during these seventy years, can it be the same thing to fight against the rabble that do not enter the stream, and against the regular armies of other countries? Otherwise, more than 30 years ago, the soldiers who won the "Battle of Teassi" would not have been so rewarded.
History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 9, The Two-Front Plan at the Beginning of the War
[Cardoch III's character is self-righteous and self-serving, more important than face, although Luer is sincere in transferring troops, but Cardoch III is suspicious that Lul is for his own status, and suspects that Lul wants to make himself responsible for letting the enemy army enter the territory. 】
[So in the end, Luhr's persuasion was ignored by the Cardoch Palace, and the Cardoch Palace insisted on implementing a new plan to transfer the army from the Western Front to the Eastern Front. 】
[When Lul heard about this, he sighed and complained to the attendants next to him: "If Boris is defeated in the future, then it must be the scourge of the gang of Cadosh III."] ”】
[However, what people didn't expect was that Lull's complaining words were known to Cardoch III, so Cardoch III removed Lul from his post and recalled Pease from the front line to be guilty, and when he left, the angry Lul said a celestial saying to his attendants, "The erector is not enough to conspire with it."] 】
【...... It should be said that Boris was moving troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front fast enough, but no matter how fast Boris was, he would need to bypass three-fifths of Bourbon Island, so the reinforcements could not be faster than the stormy offensive of Surliver. 】
[In the late autumn (2063), a failed rebellion broke out against Boris by the Pokang nobles within Kadara, and although the rebellion failed, the trust between the Bourbons and the Pokans in the city was completely broken, and then there was a city-wide riot, and the Poli army finally entered the city and drove Boris out of Kadara. 】
[After Boris's army was defeated and withdrew from Kadara, he ran into Surifil's galloping cavalry brigade head-on, Boris failed to reorganize his team, he was defeated again, and retreated to Kadara, and then was defeated by Poli's army from Kadara, as a result, a small number of people broke out of the official road, and most of the remaining troops were captured or killed. 】
[After the defeat of Kadara, nothing happened in 2063, and in the spring of 2064, Boris's reinforcements arrived under the leadership of Cadosh, the son of Cardoch III of the House of Fermar, and as soon as he arrived in Barbutis, he removed the son of Lotas of the House of Fermar from his military post and ordered him to return to Pease for trial. 】
[Tis was the commander-in-chief of Boris's Eastern Front, and when Polly raided Yuku, he was leading his army to attack the eastern front of Polly's Inland Guard based at Patule in Pokon. When he heard of the fall of Yuku, Tis sent reinforcements, but when Suriver Blitz captured Dolomi, Tis was terrified and withdrew the reinforcements to Dolomi. 】
[Next, Tis made some stunned moves, he stopped the attack on the eastern front of Poli, retracted all the troops back to Patulai, and in the face of the rebellion set off by Suriver in Pokon, Tis sat firmly in Patulai, so to speak, and watched the entire defenders of Kadara annihilated. 】
[Therefore, when Cadosh arrived, he revoked Tis from the army, and angrily denounced him in public at Babtis that he was "only worthy to be a centurion, and not a general.] 】
[In the summer of 2064 in the Great Calendar, Poli passed a strong man's decision, namely the "Lower Edonan Peninsula Retreat Plan", they wanted to give up all the territory of the Lower Edonan Peninsula after the autumn harvest, and withdraw the local population and reserves to the Upper Edonan Peninsula as much as possible. 】
[If this plan were to be implemented, the pressure on Poli's defenses would be greatly reduced - the taxes provided by the Lower Edonan Peninsula would not account for the bulk of Poli's revenue, and would free up a large number of troops and ships, after all, the difficulty of guarding the cities along the coastline and guarding a strait is not the same. 】
[After liberating a large number of troops and ships, Polly can throw these vacated forces into Bourbon Island, involving more of Boris's energy. 】
[In addition, in order to cooperate with Polly's plan, Portloo also decided to launch the "Return to Hometown Plan" after the autumn harvest, forming a huge landing force in West Isaacs, and blocking the sea here. After all, Boris's huge army is also idle, and it must always reflect its value. 】
[And back in Pokon, more and more nobles were incited by Surifer to launch a rebellion against Boris, especially in the inland areas far from the coastline, and the Pokon nobles in Aphhaan, Patulai, and Natigadros fell into rebellion, and these nobles all supported Suriver as their leader. 】
[However, Surifer was only a 24-year-old young man at this time, and Pocon did not have the precedent of becoming a king at such a young age. Initially, Surifer tried to re-establish his father, Nicus II, as King of Pocon, but Nix II was captured by Mathis I (King Pocon who obeyed Bolis) in the place of Surifer's rebellion. 】
[So Surifer searched everywhere, and finally found a poor old widower Dom, who was a member of the extremely distant Lazinay family, who had already fallen in the days of his grandfather, and he happened to be in Dolomy at this time, so he was pulled out by Suriver to support him as King Dom IV of Pokon, and Surliver proclaimed himself wartime dictator. 】
[After Dom IV succeeded to the throne, under the arrangement of Surifer, he issued a decree as the king of Pokon, declaring that Pocom was no longer a vassal state of Boris, and as a free country, he joined the just Alliance of the Other Side, and Polly and Potlou quickly approved Pokang's application and allowed Pocom to join the Alliance of the Other Side. 】
[Pokang's behavior provoked Boris's verbal criticism, and Mathis I personally issued a speech, angrily denouncing Dom IV as a hypocrite and a traitor, and expelling Surifer and his party from the Lazinay family, and vowing that if Surifer did not wake up again, he would crusade against the great rebellion after the autumn harvest. 】
[After the autumn harvest, the combined forces of Boris and Pokon marched north under the leadership of Kadosh, and Surifer retreated into the city without engaging the other side, and Kadoch thus besieged Dolomi. It is worth mentioning that Hades, the famous king of the sea in my time, was among the Boris army that surrounded Dolomi. 】
[At the same time, Polly began to abandon the cities of the Lower Edonan Peninsula and withdraw important troops and families, and Portloo launched the "Return to His Homeland Plan", and for a time the West Isaacs was full of soup and warships were flying, causing a very strong panic in Boris. 】
["There is no doubt that the fighting on the Eastern Front can be slowed down for the time being, and we should first annihilate the Potloo army of West Isaacs, and make Potlou abandon his despicable attempt to land on Bourbon," was the argument that was circulating in Pease at the time, and Cardoch III undoubtedly supported this argument, and he did not even dare to allow the Fintina Passage to be invaded. 】
[The rest of 2064 was spent in the siege of Dolomi, in the preparation for the attack on West Isaacs, in the receipt of a good news from the Lower Edonan Peninsula, and even in the middle of the following summer, Polly's forces were driven out of the entire Lower Edonan Peninsula - in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that Polly himself retreated. 】
[The most noteworthy battle in 2065 is undoubtedly the "Battle of West Isaacs", the Portloo landing fleet has just set off, and it is attacked head-on by the Boris fleet, and Boris is so confident that they directly engage Portloo on the West Isaacs seaport. 】
[In this campaign, Potlou had a total of 126 ships, but 44 were transports, while Boris had a total of 154 ships, and only 18 were transports. 】
[The first three days of the battle were evenly matched, and even Portlou had a slight advantage under the protection of the magic tower on the shore, but on the 4th day of the engagement, Boris successfully routed and outflanked Portlou's right flank, resulting in the defeat of the Portlou fleet, and on the 5th day, Boris successfully landed on West Isaacs, on the 7th day, the harbor magic tower of West Isaacs was successfully destroyed by Boris, and on the 12th day, Boris retreated from West Isaacs after casting a sea base. 】
[The withdrawn fleet was warmly welcomed by Pease, for they had brought a bitter victory to Boris, and "Potruyan would not dare to attempt to land again!" was the affirmation of the victory of the "Battle of Isaacs of West" by Cardoch III. 】
[West Isaacs won the honor, but failed to solve the problem, although the port was destroyed, the Portloons did not give up, but worked overtime to repair the port, the army gathered in West Isaacs did not disperse for a long time, and did not seem to give up the attempt to land. 】
[Also because Portloo never disbanded West Isaacs' army, every year after the autumn harvest, Boris would come to fight a "West Isaacs Naval Battle", destroying the port of West Isaacs, forcing Portloo to land in West Isaacs this year. 】
[On the Dolomi side, Cadosh is facing increasing pressure at sea, and although Cadosh still controls the sea supremacy of the Gulf of Barboutis, this control has become more and more difficult and weak, and the annual support from the country is pitiful. 】
[Suriver did not participate in the defense of the city, and he was not good at defending the city, so after handing over the responsibility of defending the city to Poli, he led the cavalry to the interior, and began to encircle and suppress the Boris army that had not yet withdrawn from the interior, and repeatedly went north to threaten Barbtis, causing Barboutis to often intercept the support of Dolomi's army in the country. 】
【...... In the "Battle of Dolomi" in the autumn of 2067 in the Great Calendar, Boris was defeated by Poli's navy, and Kadosh was finally unable to keep the sea power, and after 3 years of siege, the soldiers were quite tired, so Kadosh had no choice but to retreat, declaring the siege of Dolomi a failure. 】
