Chapter 370 Arrived

Five days later, the scout light cavalry encountered the vanguard of the four Northland alliances for the first time, a hundred-man squad of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment was suddenly attacked by the same hundred-man scout light cavalry team on the border of the Southern Province and Winston Province, and after dropping thirty-seven corpses, the scout team of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment chose to retreat, in this attack of less than ten minutes, the four Northland Alliances won the first game with a result of thirteen to thirty-seven, and also opened the prelude to this offensive and defensive battle known as the Southern Province in the history of the Gelinthia continental war。

The news gathered by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun in the past few days to gather the defeated troops who had fled and returned had already sensed that this was not a sudden attack by the four alliances of the Northlands, but a premeditated operation to destroy the Iberian Kingdom. The last dozen or so Fisabrun family guards who had fled from King Winston claimed that they had found the banners of three Norton legions and a knightly order in the Northlands, as well as the flags of the Pegasus Legion of the Philim family......

The Norton Family's Rock Legion, the Flying Tiger Legion, the Guards Legion and the Knights of the Angry Bear, plus the Pegasus Legion, Grand Duke Fisabrun frowned, the Norton family has sent all their family's legions and main forces to Winston Province, do they really want to fight to the death with the Fisabrun family's armed forces? Or did Lorist actually receive the order of the Second Highness to directly attack the Central Four Duchy after destroying the Iberian Kingdom?

If it is the latter, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun does not mind retreating first, giving up the southern provinces and watching the four central principalities and the four alliances of the Northland fight to the death, and even secretly rejoice in his heart, after all, the resentment of the Second Highness towards the four central principalities is well known, and it is not surprising to order his die-hard family of the four alliances of the Northlands to be destroyed by arming the Iberian Kingdom, occupying Winston Province and the Southern Province, and attacking the Central Four Duchies. The Fisabrun clan could have struck again when the two were exhausted, and stabbed a knife to teach Lorist and the four Northland alliances a lesson, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But this wish of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was dashed two days later, and a few fast horses brought two not-so-wonderful news, one was that the only gap in the Pisber Mountains on the border between Winston and Makinohara provinces, the fortress city of Pydro had been captured by the Flying Tigers of the Norton family in the Northland. A corps of more than 10,000 men of the 4th Frontier Ranger Regiment deployed in the city of Pydero only ran out of more than 2,000 people. The second bad news is that the province of Makinohara was captured by the light cavalry of the Norton family in the Northland, and the losses were extremely heavy, nearly 20,000 people were captured to the Northland, and the commander of the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion, the Golden Knight Bowkerry, led a corps to the pursuit, fell into an ambush and suffered heavy casualties, and Bakri was killed in the battle with three arrows......

At present, there are only more than 28,000 horses left in the Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment, and the deputy commander of the Legion, Knight Benlaith, while reporting these two bad news to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, also asked the family for help, because it has to garrison several people's reclamation points, the Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the light cavalry of the so-called hunting regiment of the Norton family in the northland, and the province of Makino is full of flames, and the light cavalry of the Norton family hunting regiment is like entering no man's land, and some scattered grazing lords and grazing cattle, sheep and horses are coerced and driven to the northland, and the losses are very large。

Grand Duke Fisabrun angrily threw the gold cup in his hand on the ground, don't think about it, there is no doubt that Lorist led the soldiers of the four alliances of the Northland this time to target the Fisabrun family, and he thought that the four families of the Northland were diehards of the Second Highness and fought with the four principalities in the middle of the country It was just wishful thinking. Obviously, even if the Four Northland Alliances attack the Four Central Duchyes in the future, it will be to remove the thorn in their backs of the Fisabrun family, and besides, the war that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun is facing now is a matter of life and death for the family.........

But now the Grand Duke of Fisabrun can not be separated, in the past two days, the Pegasus Legion of the Philim family has arrived in the Southern Province, as a light cavalry legion, the scout light cavalry of the Pegasus Legion and the scout of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion are in a fierce battle, there are more than a dozen conflicts every day, from the battle situation, the light cavalry scouts of the Pegasus Legion obviously have the upper hand, and the territory in the northwest of the Southern Province is being covered by the Pegasus Legion a little bit, and the scouts of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion cannot cross the cordon arranged by the Pegasus Legion.

Archduke Fisabrun found himself dragged in the Southern Province, and when the Knights of the Norton Family's Furious Bear, which he was most concerned about, arrived at the Seheik Hill on the border between Winston and the Southern Province, they strangely stopped their progress and set up a military camp on the hill instead. What's going on, shouldn't it be directly forced to the battalion of the 3rd Frontier Rangers and prepare to attack?

The Fifth Frontier Ranger Regiment will arrive in two days, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun has nearly 70,000 men and horses in two legions, but the Grand Duke is very suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the newly formed Fifth Frontier Ranger Legion, and from the report of the scouts of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion, the Grand Duke can conclude that the combat effectiveness of the Pegasus Legion of the Philim family is not much stronger than that of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion, and it is even inferior to the fierceness and courage of the soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion. It's just that they took advantage of the equipment, and they were also stabbed, and the scouts of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment were directly broken in the stomach and died. However, the Scout Light Cavalry of the Pegasus Legion was only cleaved with its breastplate, seriously wounded but not fatal, which reminded Grand Duke Fisabrun of the truth that a copper plate is worth a copper plate of goods, and the standard equipment purchased by the Fisabrun family from the Norton family is the lowest price......

If the Angry Bear Knights of the Norton family directly send troops to the camp of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment and launch an attack, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun is confident that the Angry Bear Knights will be bled with the defense facilities of the large camp, although the Raging Bear Knights are heavy cavalry, and their defensive and offensive power greatly exceed that of the Third Ranger Legion's light cavalry, but attacking the camp is a fortification, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun has a way to deal with these canned meat.

It is not surprising that the Knights of the Furious Bear, as the armed forces of the Norton family, were the first to arrive in the southern province of Fisabrun. In the past, the Grand Duke was very concerned about the Norton family's armament, and the Rock Legion was a heavy infantry, and it would take some time to reach the southern provinces. The Flying Tiger Legion is a cavalry, somewhere between light and heavy cavalry, and has already captured the city of Pietro, so it will not come to the southern provinces for the time being. The Guards were garrison units that were sent to Winston to take over the defense of several strategic points. Then the Knights of the Angry Bear, as the main force of heavy cavalry and field warfare, were the first to reach the southern provinces.

What is Lorist's idea? Does he want to gather a few legions of his family and the forces of the Fisabrun family to have a decisive battle in the southern provinces? Otherwise, what does it mean that the Knights of the Angry Bear will stay at the hill of Seheuk? Garrison? This is impossible, the Knights are for offense rather than defense, but the Knights are not moving forward, doesn't this give the Fisabrun family time to send troops and commanders? Originally, the most correct course of action was to attack without hesitation, drive the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment of the Fisabrun family out of the southern province, and cut off the possibility of future reinforcements from the four central principalities and the forces of the Fisabrun family......

Grand Duke Fisabrun could not leave the Southern Province at this moment, and he suddenly found that the current situation had become that he had to hold the communication artery from the Southern Province to the Central Four Duchy, while the attacking four alliance family forces in the North were unhurried and did not take into account the heavily armed battalion of the Fisabrun family, which was located at the transportation point of the Southern Province. Not only did the Norton Knights set up camp on the hill of Seheek, but even the Philim family launched an anti-bandit operation in the northwest after occupying the northwest of the southern province, in addition to setting up a tight blockade......

What the hell is going on? Grand Duke Fisabrun was a little confused, and after looking at the map for a long time, Grand Duke Fisabrun came back to his senses, the northwest region occupied by Count Philim was originally the old territory of the Philip family a hundred years ago, but now it is in ruins and desolate. After daring to be affectionate for a long time, Count Philim only wanted his family's old territory, so it was no wonder that the cordon of the Pegasus Legion was placed on the edge of the old territory.

Grand Duke Fisabrun scoffed, the southern province will soon be a pot of porridge, even if you occupy the old territory, what is the use? And once the war is raging, all efforts will be in vain.

You must know that the old territory of the Philim family occupies a quarter of the area of the southern province, although it is located in the northwest region, don't look at the current Pegasus Legion in the scout light cavalry engagement, but the war is opened with the Fisabrun family rangers' tactics, and the northwest region cannot avoid being affected, no matter how strong the Pegasus Legion is, it is only a light cavalry legion, and the border ranger regiment of the Fisabrun family can beat the Pegasus Legion to the ground as long as two are drawn.

Let go of the Pegasus Legion of the Philim family and let them be proud for a while. Grand Duke Fisabrun thinks so, the main opponent of the family should be the Norton family's armed forces, and the most likely reason why the Knights of the Angry Bear stay on Sehek Hill is that the Rock Legion is inmobile, and it will take a few days to get here, and it seems that Lorist wants to provoke himself to come out for a field battle or a decisive battle......

Am I so stupid? Grand Duke Fisabrun will not fight a field or decisive battle with the Norton family forces if he is killed, and use light cavalry to deal with heavy knights and heavy infantry, and only if his head is caught in the door will he make such a brainless decision. The Grand Duke's original plan was to use the strong camp wall and the improvement of numerous defensive facilities to resist and deplete the enemy's strength and morale, and then send out the Ranger regiment to harass and sneak attack the enemy's logistical supplies, and finally force the Norton family to withdraw from the Southern Province, leaving the border rangers with the opportunity and gap to break into Winston Province, and burn the war to Winston Province.

After thinking about it for a long time, Grand Duke Fisaburun decided to ignore the unfavorable situation of the war in Makinohara Province for the time being, and wrote a letter to promote the deputy commander of the Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment, the family's golden knight Benlais, to the commander of the legion, telling him the current battle situation, the family is still unable to draw support at the moment, and if he can't hold on, he will withdraw all the people in the northern part of Makinohara Province to the east bank of the Sochus River, relying on the geographical advantages of the Sochus River for defense and garrison, waiting for the battle situation to become clear, and the Fisaburun family will regain the lost ground after gaining the advantage.

The Sochus River is a river that originates in the Misbara Mountains, which flows across the Makino Province and flows into the savannah, and is the most important water resource in the Makino Province, whether it is irrigation or grazing, both sides of the Sochus River are the richest essence of the Makino Province. It's just that the location of the Sochus River is not in the middle of Makinohara Province, but more in the Eastern Wilderness Province. This order of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was almost equivalent to giving up two-thirds of the territory of the Makinohara Province, and only required the disabled Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment to hold the eastern part of the Sochus River. In the heart of the Grand Duke, the great battle facing the southern provinces is the most important and crucial.

......

On the 32nd day of the fifth month of the Gaylinthia calendar, the Rock Legion finally arrived in the Southern Province.

Lorist was also helpless, blaming the damn road, potholes, and the journey that was supposed to take twelve days was delayed to twenty-six days. Without him, the Rock Legion acted as a road repair team when marching, repairing roads while marching, otherwise even if the Rock Legion arrived in the southern province on time, then the next large number of logistics and heavy supplies and supplies would be completely unable to fully supply and support the consumption of the front line with the condition of this road.

Lorist finally understood why the second prince and the nobles of the Southern Province did not talk about returning to the Southern Province after the evacuation, and competed with the nobles of the traditional territory of Winston Province in the royal city of Windbrie. It turned out that not only did the southern province fall into ruins, but even the national highway connecting the two provinces was overwhelmed. Small caravans may be able to pass through, but it is very difficult for large convoys to pass, and to put it mildly, this national highway is even more difficult to navigate than the dirt roads that are trodden by many pedestrians.

However, there are also advantages to the delay in time, first of all, the Flying Tiger Legion led by Tiger Ross successfully captured the city of Pietro, and secondly, it cleared the stragglers of Winston Province, which can basically be said to be firmly in the hands of the family. The second is the Chasseur Legion led by Josk and Yuri, which attacked Makinohara Province from the eastern part of the Northlands, and inflicted heavy losses on the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion, and Josk also killed its commander Golden Two-Star Knight Baukri in an ambush with three arrows, which made a good start for the Chaser Legion, and currently occupies the initiative in the confrontation with the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion, suppressing the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion in an embarrassing manner.

And after the province of Winston and the royal city of Windbrie fell into the hands of the family, all the subsequent arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner. Baron Camorra was already presiding over the transfer of all the materials hoarded in Northland Gildusk City to the King of Windbri, and the armaments, materials, grain, grass and property seized from the King of Windbri City surprised Lorlist, but he did not expect that the proceeds obtained by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun from eliminating the nobles of the Southern Province and the nobles of the traditional territory of Winston Province fell into the hands of the family, which was really an unexpected gift package.

As for the four battalions of the 5th Guards Corps led by Baron Farea, they also went to Walkertown, Pydero, King Windbrie and Sunlake to garrison and build castle fortresses, and the remaining 25th Guards Battalion was following the Rock Legion to the Southern Province, and the Sehek Hill was built into a strong battalion by the Knights of the Angry Bear, which would greatly ease the construction of the castle fortress of the 25th Guards Battalion.

It's just that the original plan for a lightning attack was interrupted by this damn path, and Lorlist's plan to drive the Fisabrun family forces out of the southern province and then have the Rock Legion set up camps in various strategic locations, dig trenches and connect them, and throw them into the campfire. According to the current situation in the southern provinces, it seems that it is necessary to have an offensive and defensive battle with the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. Although people were on the road, the scout light cavalry kept transmitting the news of the front line, and it can be seen from the arrangement of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun that the old guy obviously wanted to rely on the defensive depth of the large battalion and wait for the attack of his family's armed forces, so as to consume the strength and morale of his family's armed forces, after all, it is always more difficult to attack than to defend.

It's a pity, old fellow, you've got the wrong idea. Lorist smirked, watching the thunderbolt catapults in front of him pass smoothly on the repaired road, hehe, old fellow, you will soon be able to taste the power of these offensive weapons of the Norton family. Times have changed, and it's time for you, the old military god, to retire.
