Standing up angrily, Friedrich's face was gloomy as water, perhaps because he felt that Bayanzosky's words were irrefutable, but to make him give up the West Indodean, who had been peeping at him for many years, he was really unwilling, and he hoped that his left arm and right arm, which he relied on so much, could help him solve the crisis, but he didn't expect that there was only this disappointing ending, "In that case, Bayanzosky, this matter will be handled by you!"

Seeing Friedrich walking away, the two people in the room fell silent, and Kaspersky smiled for a long time: "You have angered Your Majesty, this is not good." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Hmph, it's better than losing the city and losing the land. Your Majesty is just figuring it out for a while, and when he calms down, I believe he should come back to his senses. Bayanzosky said coldly: "We shouldn't have fought with the Tang Dynasty for West India, knowing that the Tang people were determined to win this land, but we wanted to intervene sideways, would the Tang people be willing? And the other countries of the alliance have no interest in this land at all, or they think that they cannot get more benefits from this land, and there is no basis for common interests, how can we rely on Hanover alone to compete with the Tang people?"

"But if the Tang take control of West India, it will pose a huge threat to our east, and you can see the ambitions of the Don, and the people of Destin are very supportive of us, how can we sit idly by?" Kaspersky argued.

"Kaspersky, if you want to manage it, you have to have the corresponding strength, how can we manage it with the strength of our Principality of Hanover? Can you manage it? The other countries of the Hansen League are still interested in this matter that obviously only benefits our Principality of Hanover in the future? As for the people of D'Estaing, they are devoted to converting to the Holy Spirit Sect, and it is the same no matter who they live under their rule, it is impossible for Hanover to let our own children die in vain for them. Bayanzosky said categorically: "The last time we invaded West India, we should have taken it as soon as we saw it, and generously handed over West India to the Tang people, maybe we could get a ransom or reward from the Tang people, and now, hum, we have no people and money, and we have to bear such a lot of pressure." ”

"Now it's pointless to talk about this, hasn't Your Majesty already handed it over to you to deal with? Kaspersky couldn't argue with the other and turned away, leaving the armoured soldier alone in the empty room.

Bayanzosky is willing to do this, but if he doesn't, Hanover will usher in an even greater crisis, and the Tang people will take this opportunity to attack Hanover itself, and the Hansen League will not be able to provide Hanover with much material help now, and it will be more than worth the loss.

The speed of the White Stork Corps is worthy of being the most agile of the entire Confederate standing army, when Bayanzosky's request was transmitted to Birgia through the Allied Military Affairs Department, Steven and Nyasis, who had long been ready to stop, immediately retreated westward as quickly as possible, in fact, as soon as they learned that the Don army appeared in the north of Hanover, they knew that Birja could no longer hold on, and the Hanover garrison in the north was simply not enough to resist the large-scale attack of the Don army, and the only way was to strangle the fortress of Artami and some of the Lizebras fortresses located in the province of Vézel further west, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the Bamiyan fortress in the eastern part of the Eastern Province, using light cavalry to harass the infantry of the Tang army, using fortresses to form chains, cutting off the supply of the cavalry of the Don army, forcing them to withdraw from the provinces of Wezel and Orient, only in this way can they hold the eastern half of the rivers and mountains of Hanover.

Although Cui Wenxiu had already estimated that the Hansen League might abandon Birja and defend Hanover itself, he still underestimated the reaction and decisiveness of the White Stork Corps, and the White Stork Army continued to show its determination to carry out the battle to the end, but secretly shifted the grain and grass baggage to the west in advance, and the light cavalry and motorized infantry left behind almost all retreated before overnight, and the front of the Indean Legion, which was greedy for merit and rushed to pursue the White Stork Army, was ambushed by the ambushed light cavalry of the White Stork Corps, and the loss of troops was broken for a while, and they had to retreat to Bilja City in frustration。

Bayanzosky did not hesitate after making up his mind, and the Knights of the Duchy were exhausted, leaving only 10,000 troops to garrison Bergen, and at the same time gritted his teeth and borrowed 10,000 troops from the Duchy of Baden in the south, of which 5,000 were also light cavalry who were good at fighting in the mountains.

The relationship between the royal families of the Duchy of Baden and the Duchy of Hanover has not been very harmonious, but Bayanzosky can't take care of it much at this time, and the standing army of the Hansen League is now unreliable, so he can only make up his mind on the country's own defense forces, the Duchy of Baden is located in the inland mountains, and the 10,000 army is almost all the strength of the Duchy of Baden, fortunately, they do not need too many troops to garrison due to the geographical location, and in the face of foreign invasion, they have also shown the same hatred and quite friendly support in this regard.

The White Stork Corps and the Baden Army soon entered the Altami Fortress and locked the key passes of the Don Army's southward and eastward advances, while the Labrazes Fortress and the Bamiyan Fortress were guarded by the Hannover Wehrmacht, and the White Stork Army and the Baden Army quickly stabilized their positions, and the Don Army seemed to have consciously slowed down.

Artami Fortress and La Brazes Fortress and Bamiyan Fortress form a strategic iron triangle, mutual strategy and mutual support, of which Artami Fortress is the core, where the main mobile forces of the Hansen Allied Army are concentrated, to the west can reinforce the Labrazes Fortress, to the east can attack the Tang Army that is trying to go south, to the south can both reinforce the Bamiyan Fortress, and can also fight with the Bamiyan Fortress Army to flank the Tang Army that dares to advance eastward, so that the offensive and defensive situation finally stabilized the situation in the east of the Duchy of Hanover.

However, once the city of Birja was lost, the barak mountains and the Stana mountain range were gone, and although the Indians controlled the city of Birja, the weak military strength of the Indians made the Hanoverians never think that they might pose any threat to themselves, but now the situation is very different. The Don army was sitting in the city of Birja, and it could threaten the vast hinterland of the Eastern Province of the Duchy of Hanover at any time, even if it was supported by the fortress of Artami and Bamiyan, but the vast area between them was still under the threat of the Don army at any time, and a stalemate in this situation seemed to be of little significance to both sides.

The Tang Army also seemed to be aware of this, and instead of the original strategy of large-scale cavalry invasion of the hinterland of the Eastern Province, it moved south along the western foot of the Barak Mountains, while the Indean Corps also put on a posture of being ready to gather heavy troops to invade the east, as long as it joined up with the southbound rangers and the Imperial Eleventh Army Corps, it could maintain absolute superiority over the Hanoverian side in military strength.

Riding a horse and walking in the city full of Western Continent architecture in Bilja, Cui Wenxiu can even feel the hostile gaze from all around the street, most of the people on the street who welcome the Tang army into the city are Niye and Rohman, and the Holy Spirit disciples have pasted golden shield paintings with holy icons on their doors to express silent protest, but fortunately, the protest of the Holy Spirit cultists has not evolved into public resistance, otherwise Cui Wenxiu does not intend to appease, religious belief is not important to him, but if he wants to fight against the rule of the empire, it is to challenge the authority of the military, this kind of limelight cannot last。

Seeing some timid Yakuan nobles in the province of Destin crowded in front of his square, Cui Wenxiu couldn't help but smile dumbly, maybe his reputation for being too fond of slaughtering foreign races has made him famous in this land, but this is not a bad thing, as a soldier in the conquered land to leave a benevolent reputation is just an insult, those things that should be done by civilian officials and political axes, what the soldiers want to show is blood and violence, one is strong and one soft, one martial and one civilized, one dark and one light, grace and power can make the local people feel the coercion of the royal power, too much indulgence will only breed their arrogance, the necessary cleansing and deterrence are reliable means of ensuring the taming of a conquering land.

The crisp knocking sound of the horseshoe hitting the floor stirred in the hearts of every Yakuan nobleman present, as if it wanted to make their hearts contract, and the cold and sharp gaze flowed on the Yigan people, like a snow-bright saber swirling around everyone's necks, making people involuntarily want to shrink their bodies into a ball.

"Why are there so few people who come out to greet the imperial army? Isn't Birja City known as the pearl between the East and the West? Isn't it said that there are 100,000 inhabitants, why do I only see a few?!" He didn't get off his horse, Leng Sensen's gaze swept over the nobles in front of the Provincial Governor's Mansion in the square, Cui Wenxiu gently pulled his horse back, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Could it be that you are still counting on the Hansen people who have abandoned you to rescue you?"

As soon as Cui Wenxiu's words came out, the hearts of the nobles present immediately began to chill, what does this sentence mean, what does this butcher want to do? Didn't he say that he didn't care about religious beliefs? Why did he target the Holy Spirit Cultists as soon as he came?

The vast majority of the nobles who gathered in the square, with the exception of a small number of Nea and Rohman, had converted to the Holy Spirit Cult, and the mediators from the Viceroy of West India had assured that the Imperial [***] team would not be purged because of their religious beliefs, but now it seems that they have been deceived.
