Chapter 948: The Flames of War Burn the Plains
"The war has just begun, and that damn Downton has only won one game, so what is there to brag about?"
Fellaini was disdainful in front of his friends, but he still couldn't hide his sour tone, and on the night he received the battle report, he was even more drunk, even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that this kind of record, he couldn't play in his life.
After hearing this, the iron-blooded general Xing Gouri didn't say anything, and went directly into the practice room, sweating harder.
The attention of this war is not high, because the gap between the national strength of the two countries is too large, and there is almost no suspense in the result, that is, because Sissi likes Downton's relationship, some people are ready to see him unlucky with playful eyes, but when the results of the battle came, they were shocked.
Coupled with the previous battle in which Downton conquered the southern border, many envoys now began to re-examine him, and gradually understood why Bavaria, the Guise family, and the royal family of Saint Laurent would throw an olive branch.
"It's worthy of a big family, this eye for people is really sharp!"
Some of the envoys had to correct their attitude towards Downton in addition to their feelings.
The war continues!
Samosai didn't expect Commander Parr to lose so badly and so quickly, so that the entire defense line was not established, full of holes, and although he had accelerated the adjustment speed at the first time, it was still not enough.
There are rumors that Commander Parr has defected to the enemy and committed treason, but after all, he is in a high position, his connections and power are intertwined in the country, and the rangers' battlefield cover is good, and the enemy's scouts have not been able to spread the specific news, so many people don't believe it.
As one of the supreme commanders, Parr naturally held a defense map and a strategic plan, which was also the focus of contention in the Samosai military department, if Pal was treasonous. These plans must be revised immediately, otherwise they will be exploited by the enemy and will be a fatal weakness.
"God help me!"
Looking at the deployment map brought back by the rangers, most of the enemy had not yet responded, and Downton immediately made a decision and sent a corps to break the enemy.
"This war is so easy to win!"
Homer sighed.
Pal sweated like a pulp. Suddenly regretted surrendering, he didn't expect that the military department had not been adjusted until now, this level of battle plan is absolutely secret, Downton can rely on it, he can make targeted arrangements in advance, ambushes, attacks, etc., it is simply invincible, so to speak. Any actions of the enemy, he knew in advance.
It's like a game, even the opponent knows how to fall, if he can't win, then Downton can go to a tree and hang himself.
The whole army of Frankfurt was dispatched, building superior forces in the local area, and annihilating the enemy army as much as possible.
"It's too late to want to die now. Downton comforted Parr. "A tough guy who can keep silent under Beyoncé's torture, I haven't seen it yet!"
"The Duke laughed!"
Parr smirked. He regretted it, but he didn't dare to say it, and then he remembered the horrific scenes in the prison.
Beyoncé didn't torture Parr, but just let him go, when he came out of prison. It feels like I've escaped from hell and been reborn.
"If I do it again, I think I'll still confess truthfully!"
After recognizing this reality, Parr sighed gloomily, no wonder for so many years. I could only climb to the dragon slaying with difficulty, and I couldn't advance any further, it turned out to be a lack of will and heart.
"Duke, I hope that after this war, you can let me go home, I will give up my knighthood, and I just ask you to spare my family's life!"
Parr's heart is broken, in this battle, the number of soldiers killed and wounded because of him will definitely not be less than 500,000, and Samosai has lost the initiative, replaced by an ordinary commander, I am afraid that it will collapse long ago when it encounters this kind of pressure.
"I'll keep the title for you, be a rich man, if you can get out of the predicament, maybe you can make another breakthrough in the ranks!"
Downton smiled, Parr finally had a trace of shame, otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to use it, even if he didn't get rid of him according to the original promise, he would waste him for the rest of his life.
Parr's surrender was very morale-boosting, coupled with the leakage of the enemy's plans, and the successive victories of the various regiments, which had gradually given birth to something called self-confidence, and the soldiers felt that they were invincible and invincible.
The morale of the fight, as well as the large amount of booty harvested, made several regiments fall into a frenzy, especially the hill natives, who did not rest at all, and continued to fight, and they were red-eyed one by one, like wild wolves, raging in the land of Samosai.
Even if there is no definite news from the front, the military department knows that something happened to Parr, and they immediately revised the battle plan, but unfortunately this is not a period of modern warfare with developed communications, and it takes a lot of time to adjust the overall situation.
The most cutting-edge magic communication technology is in the hands of the nine empires, and a Samosai is not qualified to have, plus the elite drow rangers are scattered, covering important battlefields around the clock, and by the time those corps receive the secret order, the battle situation has been rotten and almost uncontrollable.
It was a week before the military department received the exact figures for battle damage.
The two groups were defeated, the 240,000-strong corps was disabled, and the total casualties were as high as 200,000.
One step late, one step later, the scouts were annihilated on a large scale, and Samosai was like losing his eyes and ears, and he couldn't capture the location of Downton's main army at all.
"Don't guess, it must be Elsingburg, which is hoarding a lot of military supplies!"
One of the generals looked at the map and slammed the table hard.
"How is it possible? This is in the rear, I think the most is bombing, if the Downton Army goes deeper, it will definitely be dumplings!"
Another general spoke, winning the approval of many people, and by now, Downton had proved his military talent, and the heavily armed Elsingberg, although delicious, could definitely knock out the enemy's mouthful of teeth, and they didn't believe that Downton couldn't see it.
"Where are your troops? I'm sure that Downton's previous military operations were all centered around attacking Elsingborg, and the nearby corps were either killed or driven away, in short, this line of defense must be full of holes now. ”
The general retorted.
"Well, even if he arrives at Fort Elsin, there are two dragon slayers and 100,000 elite troops and 200,000 militiamen stationed there, no, maybe more!"
Some people question that for hundreds of years, this fortress has been used as a reserve for military supplies, and it has been built as impregnable, not to mention that it is still the younger brother of the king who is stationed there, and there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.
"Yes, apart from the internal rebellion, I don't know who can take this city!"
"The most important thing now is to shrink the forces of defense, regroup the front, establish a united front, do not rush to find the main force of Downton, and quickly defeat him, it is no longer possible. ”
The other generals chimed in, but finally looked at the Supreme Commander.
"Mobilize all the legions and march towards Elsingborg as fast as possible, Downton must be here!"
Bang!
The commander smashed his fist on the castle graphic marked as the most important in bright red font, he not only understands military affairs, but also understands people's hearts, a young man like Downton, coupled with the current situation, must want to fight a decisive battle as much as possible, so he will definitely attack Elsingborg with all his might.
On a crisp autumn evening, Downton appeared outside a huge fortress with a mixed army of barbarians, demonsmen, Krupp, and dwarves.
"Hey, fortunately we have airships, otherwise if we want to rely on ground troops to capture this city, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"
Even a well-informed fellow like the Black Hand gasped when he looked at a castle built halfway up a mountain, made entirely of hard steel and huge granite stones.
Ersingborg is strategically located as the choke point to the royal county, and its left and right sides are flanked by waterfalls washed by mountain streams, and there is only one route to attack from the front, because the defenders can concentrate all their defensive forces on the front.
"Even if the warship blasts open the gap, our forces are too small, and if we start a street fight, we will suffer too much, and it is easy to fall into a situation where the enemy is on all sides!"
The head of the Devilman Regiment looked at the scalp numb.
"Coward!"
Arnold sneered, and then asked Downton to fight, "Master, we barbarians are willing to be the vanguard and open the door to victory for you!"
"The right to attack first is our dwarves!"
The black hand is in charge.
"Nonsense, it's also our Krupp giant's turn to show their strength!"
Chief Krupp patted his chest and shouted for battle, holding a roast goose leg in his left hand, eating and drinking, accustomed to living in the rich and beautiful environment of the Western Continent, this group of natives did not want to go back to the scorching lava realm.
"Great Chief, wait a minute, our Hill Legion will be here soon, leave us the opportunity to attack first, right?"
An ogre who came with him got down on one knee and pleaded with Downton.
"Are you crazy?"
Downton felt that if the ogre continued to fight like this, even if he was not killed, he would have to die of exhaustion.
"It's better to die of exhaustion than to starve to death!"
The ogres were stupid, and when they heard that the fortress opposite was full of supplies, they couldn't sit still, and were coming from another battlefield.
The Supreme Commander had guessed correctly, and Downton's military operations were all aimed at breaking down the defensive line and opening up the main road to Elsingburg.
"Time is running out, the enemy should have reacted, and must be sending troops here, so this castle must be dealt with before being besieged!"
Downton lowered the monoculars, "Signal, the raid begins!"
The Drow Guard, who accompanied him, pulled out a crossbow and fired it into the sky, sending the signal arrows into brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"Krupp and the dwarves attack first, the demons follow, after they break the position, you enter immediately, you don't need to hold a solid defense, but scatter into small teams, conduct guerrilla warfare, set a fire, change places, I ask you to cause a riot in the shortest possible time!"
The terrain is too dangerous, because Downton doesn't want to use the night to sneak attack, "The barbarians are attacking, follow me, go straight to the other party's warehouse, and wait for half of the city to burn, and then all retreat!" (To be continued......)
