The day after the Far East Fleet conquered Egret Harbor, it headed in the direction of Rose City, and news of the battle between the Rose Army and the Imperial Army had already arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Aside from the victory on the first day, the tide of battle began to turn against the Rose Army, and the Rose Army suffered heavy losses after a few days of fighting.

There is also a discordant voice from within the Rose City, where it is rumored that the young head of the house, Miss Wendy, is under house arrest by Governor Pompeii.

Pompey, as the representative of the Lord's Peace faction, carried out a strategy of passive resistance and restarted negotiations with the Empire, hoping to persuade the Empire to withdraw its troops.

Although the Imperial side accepted the offer to negotiate, the Legion's attack did not slacken, and it was clear that the strategic advantage would gain more leverage.

While the Rose Legion and the Imperial Central Army were in full swing, the news of the fall of Egret Harbor had not yet been delivered in time.

A fleet that had just gone through three naval battles and won a great victory headed south, and the beetle battle flag on the sails was majestic, and began to approach the battlefield of the two armies.

A young man in an overcoat stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking out at the twisting coastline from afar, with soldiers nearby holding nearby maps.

"If all goes well, we'll land at this place called Yingge Point, which is about ...... from Thorntown, the headquarters of the Imperial Army."

Lin Ye calculated the distance between Yingge Horn and Thorn Town, in fact, Yingge Horn was attached to the southeast corner of Thorn Town, and the distance was very close.

"Well, it's probably within the range of our shelling, but we don't have enough infantry combat strength to carry out landing operations. ”

He looked behind him, forty warships were in a neat formation, if it was on the sea, of course it was fearless, but if it was a landing battle, it would be reluctant.

"My lord, according to the intelligence empire, the central army is led by the veteran General Adolf, and there are a total of thirty corps, all of which are well-equipped regular troops, with a total strength of about sixty thousand people, and we are all sailors who are not good at land warfare, and the number is only three thousand. ”

Asik reported the comparison of the two sides behind Lin Ye, and it was a bit wishful thinking that they would want to defeat the Imperial Army on the basis of their alone.

"The gap between the two sides is really not ordinary, but if you just count the strength, the Rose Legion also has 40,000 people...... No, after the battle damage in the past few days, there should still be about 35,000 people, and the loss of thousands of lives in just a few days is really terrible. ”

Lin Ye sighed lightly, his expression looked a little regretful, which made Asik's scalp tingle for a while, and these words seemed to come out of the mouth of the Duke?

He was in the Valley of Despair, but he burned the lives of thousands of Medusa soldiers and the Battle of Crocodile Bay.

More than 2,000 Imperial sailors were also killed, and he was the man who was dubbed the "executioner" and "butcher" by the outside world.

Do you feel that the other side has suffered too many casualties in the war and feel sorry for the sacrifice of the soldiers? Isn't this joke a little too big?

"I heard that there are differences of opinion within the Rose family now, and even Miss Wendy has been put under house arrest by the governor Pompeii, which is really hateful. ”

Although Asik did not participate in Lin Ye's trip to the royal capital, he only encountered Lin Ye after leaving the royal capital.

But he knew about his relationship with Miss Wendy of the Rose family, and it was even a big talk among the people of the Far East after dinner.

"Since the death of the previous duke, Pompey has held power for many years, and after he tasted the taste of power, he naturally will not be willing to give up the power in his hands to a younger generation, and it is reasonable to have some ideas, he should now urgently want to negotiate with the imperial side and maintain his position. ”

Lin Ye looked in the direction of Rose City, his expression was calm, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and he broke Pompey's mind with one word.

If the empire wants to conquer Rose City, it must have to pay a lot of price, and they will really choose to negotiate peace. ”

Asik frowned, he didn't know much about political intrigues, and could only speculate ambiguously.

"No, the Empire's agreement to negotiate peace is just to paralyze the side of Rose City, it seems that even Pompeii doesn't know the secret, the royal capital has a reason to definitely take Rose City, and that kid Rhaegar is afraid that his throne will not be stable. Lin Ye smiled coldly.

Before Leo was defeated a month earlier, he had traveled to the Far East and told him the secret of the royal family, that Rhaegar was not Raymond's son at all.

He is not eligible to inherit the throne without royal blood, and the key evidence for this lies in the hands of the previous Duke of Rose.

If Pompey knew this, he would definitely use this to blackmail, and he would definitely not take the initiative to negotiate peace and let himself fall into a passive situation.

The only thing that can be explained is that Pompeii didn't know about it at all, and I'm afraid that there would be no more than three people in the entire Rose family who knew about it.

"My lord, there is Yingge Horn ahead, whether we are stationing on a nearby island, or do we act immediately, please give orders. ”

There were sailors in front of them to report that they had arrived at the landing site, Yingge Point, where the outline of the Rose City could already be seen.

At the end of the woods on the right, you can see the neatly laid out barracks, which was home to the Imperial Central Army.

"At this time, the Rose Legion and the Imperial Legion are still engaged in small-scale contact operations against each other, since we are here, how can we do it without preparing a big gift, and order all the warships to aim their guns at Thorn Town, the garrison of the Imperial Legion, and open fire!"

Lin Ye snorted coldly and waved his hand to order, it should have been a one-sided situation in which the Imperial Legion was in absolute superiority, but with his arrival.

It is still unknown who will kill the deer in the end!

Outside the Rose City, the armies of both sides fought for another whole day, although each side displayed tens of thousands of troops.

The army was neat and looked huge, but neither side dared to carry out a decisive battle easily, after all, it was too risky to launch a general attack without being fully prepared, and no one could afford to win or lose in one blow, and every crucial decisive battle was preceded by countless tentative attacks.

The two sides are more patient, constantly wear down each other's spirit, wait for the time to come, and then launch a fierce attack at the moment when the other party relaxes.

At this time, neither the Rose Legion nor the Imperial Legion had yet to find this opportunity to win the game in one fell swoop.

But the general trend of the whole war has tilted in favor of the Imperial Legion, and after a day of fighting, another infantry legion of the Rose Legion has suffered heavy losses.

The Imperial Legion, with the skillful cooperation of infantry and cavalry, only lost more than 200 men.

Such a casualty ratio is very fatal for the Rose Legion, which is already in a weak position.

"Hehe, these southerners are really not good at fighting except for their uniforms. ”

Ka Miao, the leader of the Imperial Red Wing Knights, looked at the large corpses left on the battlefield and was triumphant, and today he had fought another big victory.

It's just a no-brainer.

"Commander, that old fellow of Panda seems to be starting to retreat, what should we do now, do we want to pursue?" asked an officer.

"Of course we have to pursue, now is the time for us to show our might, rush!" Ka Miao waved his hand and ordered, leading his subordinates to charge again.
