Volume 3 The Momentum of the Prairie Rebellion Chapter 1 The Situation on the Border Reversed
To the south of the Kingdom of Sark, near the border of the Kingdom of Lampari, is a mountain range that is not too high, but extremely long.
At the beginning, the successful establishment of the Lampari Kingdom was to snatch a large piece of land in the south of this mountain range from the Sark Kingdom, and finally the two kingdoms used this mountain range called Murto as the border, with the Sark Kingdom in the north and the Lampari Kingdom in the south.
For this reason, everyone in the Kingdom of Sark, from His Majesty the King to the common people, was desperate to take back the land from the Kingdom of Lampari.
So hundreds of years since the founding of the Lampari Kingdom, the disputes between the two countries on this border mountain range have never stopped.
Although neither country has the courage and economic strength to wage an all-out war, small frictions will always occur.
Every year, the Kingdom of Sark invests a lot of manpower and material resources on this frontier, and on average, the annual loss of manpower alone reaches thousands, so the economic loss of the guide zhì is even more in the form of hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Although the Kingdom of Sark has always had the upper hand in the previous disputes on the border, it has not actually taken much advantage.
After so many years, it is only to advance the control area from the northern foot of the mountain range in the early days of the founding of the Lampari Kingdom to just cross the mountain range, and every time you want to continue to advance, you will be strongly resisted by the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom.
At the beginning of this year, under the advice of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Sark, and after careful planning by the Kingdom Military Department, the Greedy Wolf Legion guarding the southern border of the Kingdom of Sark launched a super-large raid that was completely different from the past.
In the face of an unusually large-scale invasion of the Sark Kingdom, the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom was caught off guard and was powerless to resist. In just one week, he was directly driven out of the original control range by the greedy wolf army. As a result, the entire Murto Mountains fell under the control of the Kingdom of Sark.
For this result. The whole kingdom of Sark was very excited.
For the ordinary people of the Kingdom of Sark, this has a very strong symbolic meaning, which means that the original balance between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari has finally been broken, and the Kingdom of Sark has a great victory for the first time, and for the first time has a real sense of the upper hand.
And for the military department of the Kingdom of Sark, this is a result worth rejoicing. Because as long as you completely control the main Murto Mountains, then you will occupy an absolute geographical advantage.
For the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom, if you want to counterattack. It is necessary to attack from the bottom of the mountain upwards, which is countless times more difficult than a frontal attack on flat ground.
And so it is.
When the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom finally stabilized its position under the sudden onslaught of the greedy army of the Sark Kingdom, and took advantage of the fact that the greedy wolf army launched a counterattack when the greedy wolf army built fortifications on the Murto Mountains in order to stabilize its position, but because of the disadvantage of the back attack, in the face of the solid defense of the greedy army, there was no way to obtain any results, and finally had to lose thousands of lives and retreat.
In the eyes of the military department of the Kingdom of Sark, this actually means that the Kingdom of Sark has completely controlled the Murto Mountains.
Since then, because of its absolute geographical advantage. The Kingdom of Sark relies on the Muerto Mountains, which can be attacked and defended. The entire northern part of the Lampari kingdom will be exposed to the fangs of the Greedy Wolf Legion, which can wreak havoc at will.
However, the good times were short-lived.
After the cold winter at the beginning of the year, the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom launched a counterattack again, but the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom found that the counterattack of the Zhenbei Army this time was extremely fierce, and it was extremely difficult for them to resist.
In less than a month, the Greedy Wolf Legion had lost two hills, and the defenses of the entire mountain range had been severely attacked.
If it weren't for the fact that the military headquarters of the Kingdom of Sark made a quick decision and immediately strengthened its support for the Greedy Wolf Legion, and even transferred another Tiger Legion to assist in the defense, I am afraid that this hard-to-reach Muerto Mountain Range would have been recaptured by the Zhenbei Army again.
However, there is only one reason for the sudden increase in the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army, that is, the change in the equipment of the Zhenbei Army.
Prior to this, although the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom had always been in an advantageous position in the face of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom, in fact, within the Greedy Legion, they had always had a very high evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom.
Because compared to the full armament of the Greedy Legion, the equipment on the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom is really miserable.
When fighting the Greedy Legion before, the soldiers of the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom could not even guarantee a set of armor, and many of them were only wearing shabby leather armor.
Moreover, the weapons on their bodies are obviously very worn, and they cannot compare with the weapons of the Greedy Wolf Legion soldiers in terms of sharpness, weight, and quality.
Good weaponry is more aware of the improvement of a soldier's combat effectiveness than the soldiers themselves, so the Greedy Legion expressed great admiration for the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who were able to face them in such a difficult environment and still have only a slight advantage in the face of them, and could hold their positions in the Muerto Mountains.
The Captain of the Greedy Legion, Sharon Linur, privately expressed his feelings to the Chief of Staff of the Legion, Aiwei Joao, that fortunately, the Lampari Kingdom was too poor, otherwise if the Lampari Kingdom Zhenbei Army had the same equipment as the Greedy Wolf Legion, then the Murto Mountains would have been robbed by the Zhenbei Army long ago.
And now, Sharon Lienur's worst fears have happened.
During this counterattack, Sharon Linur, who was personally supervising the battle on the front line, saw with his own eyes that every soldier of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom, who rushed up the hill to attack the defensive positions built by the Greedy Legion, was wearing a full set of bright and bright armor, and at the same time, he also held a weapon that was very sharp at first glance.
While Sharon Linur and the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion were still surprised, they were even more shocked to find that the armor on the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army was extremely hard, even if they rushed up in the overwhelming rain of arrows, they were actually unscathed.
As a high-ranking general, Shalon Linur saw that a soldier of the Zhenbei Army who rushed to the front was obviously shot by at least ten bows and arrows, but the armor on his body would only show a little trace at most, not to mention being shot through, and there was not even a little deformation at all!
And when the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army rushed up the hill and began to engage with the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion, everyone in the Greedy Wolf Legion was extremely shocked to find that the quality of the weapons in their hands was far from the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.
Even the weapons in the hands of some Greedy Wolf Legion soldiers were slightly worse, and they were directly cut off by the weapons of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.
Under such an obvious equipment gap, coupled with the fact that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army was already much stronger than that of the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion, the normal battle lost its suspense the moment the two sides came into contact.
Even if the Greedy Wolf Legion had an advantage in personnel and terrain, it was still unable to withstand the impact of the Zhenbei Army at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhenbei Army would have taken the initiative to choose to retreat after gaining some results, the Greedy Wolf Legion would have lost far more than two mountains in the first week.
After the fierce counterattack of the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom, when the Greedy Wolf Legion discussed it, they were both glad and puzzled about this.
Fortunately, the Zhenbei Army took the initiative to retreat, so that the greedy wolf army would not be defeated.
That's what I'm wondering about.
The Zhenbei Army obviously occupied an obvious initiative and advantage on the battlefield, but unexpectedly chose to take the initiative to retreat, why is this?
The answer was revealed half a month later.
After the first raid by the Lampari Kingdom against the Murto Mountains, it took more than half a month to pause before launching a second raid.
The Greedy Legion was originally prepared to meet the fierce attack launched by the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army with the advantage of weapons and armor, but they did not expect that this time the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army did not attack the mountain at all, but directly launched several strange-looking huge machines at the foot of the mountain.
Then I saw countless huge stones being fired from these strange huge machines, hitting the defensive positions of the Greedy Wolf Legion on the hill with great accuracy.
Under this continuous and powerful megalith attack, the position of the Greedy Wolf Legion did not hold out for even an hour before it was lost.
And every time the Greedy Wolf Legion wanted to take advantage of the terrain to rush down the hill to attack this strange-looking giant machine, they were always faced with an extremely dense rain of arrows, which made the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion be shot into hedgehogs in an instant as soon as they rushed out of the camp.
Unable to hold it, the attack could not be attacked, and the officers of the Greedy Wolf Legion who were holding the position saw that the situation was not good, so they could only announce their retreat.
However, the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom did not choose to retreat this time, and after capturing a position, it was simply unforgiving, and it was pushed over one position after another.
And when the Greedy Wolf Legion figured out that the strange-looking giant machinery was actually only three, and wanted to launch a counterattack against the position without these three giant machines, it would always face an overwhelming rain of arrows, coupled with the current equipment suppression of the Zhenbei Army, which made the Greedy Wolf Legion's offensive all in vain.
After only a little more than a month of fighting, the Greedy Wolf Legion lost all its positions in the Muerto Mountains, and was even driven out of the Muerto Mountains by the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom in one go.
As a result, just over three months later, the shape of the two sides has completely reversed.
Now, on the contrary, the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom occupies an absolute terrain advantage, and relies on the sophisticated weapons and equipment in their hands, as well as the number of arrows that seem to be useless at all, coupled with the three incredibly powerful giant machines, so that the Greedy Wolf Legion has no hope of counterattacking at all.
However, for this result, all the people in the Greedy Wolf Legion, including Sharon Linur, were not convinced and angry, but at most they were full of doubts.
How did the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom suddenly become so rich......?
