CHAPTER XXXVIII

On April 1, 178 years of the imperial calendar, in the middle of the continent, the army of the "homeland" Brin Lapes Alliance and the steppe defeated the last remaining "rebels" of the Steppe Empire, and at the same time, the Brin Lapes Alliance and the steppe announced that they would be included in the territory of the "Homeland".

At this time, the Celestial Dragon Empire, Xiao Jian began to plan to slowly eliminate the influence of the royal family on the empire, and tried his best to empty the royal authority, and compared to the slow and quiet exchange of power in the East, the fierce disputes between the Western countries also came to an end, and with the efforts of Tork Orlando, the three forces led by the West and the Prussian Empire formed a Western alliance to jointly resist the invasion that might come from the Xia Empire.

At this point, the continent was divided into three, and the three countries stood side by side.

The triangle has always been the most stable, and at this time, the three continents stood side by side, and the same is true, after several years of war, the continent has entered a delicate balance, and the continent has seen a rare calm.

However, human beings have always been peaceful, and peace only means that everyone is accumulating strength, and as long as the continent is not reunified, war will break out one day. Therefore, the only people who enjoy this brief peace are civilians. And on this calm surface, who knows how many undercurrents are surging in it, there are dark spreads, and all this is being prepared for war in the future.

The Xia Empire also took advantage of this short period of calm to methodically digest the rapidly expanding territory, govern the newly established empire, and appease the people who had endured war.

However, the war broke out eventually.

On September 10, 202 of the imperial calendar, the Eastern Celestial Dragon Empire suddenly sent troops from the north of the empire, entered the grassland, and invaded the Xia Empire's Tiermu Province in the middle of the continent.

Emperor Xia Li Yuxuan and Empress Xia Bai Ruolan jointly expressed their indignation at the provocation of the Tianlong Empire, and at the same time dispatched the most elite Black Dragon Knights, local city defense armies, and troops on the eastern border to resist the invasion.

After all, the power of the dragoons in the grassland was too great, which also restrained most of the army and energy of the Xia Empire, and the Xia Empire, which had only been established for three years, encountered a cruel test.

However, this was not the most uncomfortable time for the Xia Empire.

On the 15th of the same month, the Western Alliance, at the suggestion of Tork Orlando, passed a resolution of the Alliance Council to officially use troops against the Xia Empire. The Western Alliance amassed nearly a million troops and began to attack the Golden Province of the Xia Empire (formerly the Bryn Pace Alliance)

(In the previous wars, tens of thousands of elite troops were already very strong, but now the Western Alliance has an army of one million, what is going on?) First, in the previous Western invasion wars, the most important military strength was still used for defense, and tens of thousands of troops were not the strength of the whole country, and Prussia also had more than 200,000 troops at that time; second, after three years of recuperation, the people's livelihood of various countries improved, and the military strength also rose steadily; third, the Western Alliance had a kind of psychological pressure on Li Yuxuan, and it was also this pressure that caused the Western Alliance to be quite united in its efforts against the enemy Xia Empire. )

The Xia Empire is attacked on both sides, and the building is about to collapse.

Fortunately, there is San Theo Lee on the western border, and Xiao Lingyin on the eastern border, both of which are heroes for a while, with a lot of capable men, plus the army dispatched by the empire, they can still support one or two.

It always takes time to assemble military forces, and the logistical pressure of nearly one million troops is extremely huge.

Compared with the dragoons in the east, the pressure from the west is much greater, but the Xia Empire is a bit difficult to take care of today, and this is the enemy's opportunity.

The two armies confronted each other again on the golden passage, again on the flat ground outside the canyon, this time, can Li Yuxuan still win? Can the means used still take effect? If not, how can he resist?

This time, Li Yuxuan did not use any means head-on, or when it was not enough to use the means, the other party was already in chaos.

On October 9, 202 of the imperial calendar, as the Western Alliance of the Xia Empire had just assembled a million troops on the border and built a mountain of grain, it encountered an invasion from the sea.

The huge fleet of unknown origin avoided the naval power of the Newingman Empire, landed from Prussia and Fabre respectively, with 100,000 troops each, and went straight to the capitals of both countries, which was a typical siege of Wei to save Zhao.

The question is not whether these armies can capture the capitals of the two countries, and since they are national capitals, it is not easy to capture, but the question is, where do these armies come from?

If it is said that it is the army of the Xia Empire, does the Xia Empire still have this strength now? In the case of the simultaneous invasion of the East and the West, the Xia Empire still has the remaining strength? The army facing off the border has 500,000 troops, and the grassland has long been defeated and retreated due to the lack of troops, can it be said that the Xia Empire has abandoned the grassland and focused on defending the west?

This is not bad, according to the agreement between the Western Alliance and the Emperor of the Eastern Heavenly Dragon Empire, the Heavenly Dragon Empire will definitely spare no effort to advance, and it can be used as the main attack direction at any time, directly into the heart of the Xia Empire. Then, as long as the Western Alliance can stabilize and maintain pressure on the Xia Empire, it is only a matter of time before the Xia Empire is destroyed, and when the time comes, the question is how to divide the spoils.

The heart of the two countries was threatened by a mysterious army, and at this time, the role of Tork Orlando was once again revealed, in addition to stabilizing the situation in the national capital and sending a letter to the front so that the front line did not have to worry, he also contacted Prussia and Newenmann respectively in a timely manner, analyzed the current situation, and proposed to behead anyone who disturbed the people's hearts.

An army of 100,000 is enough for Fabre to sweep away the entire kingdom, but it is not a task that can be completed in a short time to capture the royal city of the national capital. Of the three forces, Fabre was the weakest, and even Fabre did not move, so Prussia and Newman were naturally embarrassed to transfer troops back from the front.

Speaking of which, neither the Prussian nor the Newingman emperors were mediocre talents, or even eloquent talents, and the problem was only the pressure from the countless nobles below, so there was a seemingly superfluous move by Tork Orlando.

The situation seemed very unfavorable to the Western Alliance, but under Teucer's analysis, it turned out to be very favorable to the Western Alliance, but, just as the confidence of the Western Alliance was bursting, an elite cavalry landed from Prussia and secretly landed on the coastline that had already been cleared.

On October 20, 202 of the imperial calendar, the Western Alliance army pressed on the Xia Empire step by step, taking turns to attack the defense line carefully constructed by the Xia Empire, if it were not for the limited width of the entire golden channel, I am afraid that this defense line would have collapsed, but so, the Xia Empire's defense line has gradually retreated for nearly a hundred miles.

At this time, it was the time for the Western Alliance army to rotate troops, and San Theo Lee stood firmly at the entrance of the camp of the Chinese army, looking at his exhausted subordinates, looking up at the western sky, still as clean as before, and couldn't help but sigh: "If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't let me see the real strange soldier that should appear, I don't know how long I can last." ”

"......" At this time, the atmosphere is quite dull, even the most elite soldiers, after more than ten days of aggrieved defense, will slowly lower their morale, at this time, no matter how close the pro-soldiers are, they dare not accept this sentence.

At this time, a thick cloud of smoke rose from the western sky, and San Theo Lee could not help but be overjoyed, and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy's grain and grass have been burned, and the time has come for us to counterattack, and the opportunity to tear the land of the feudal marquis is at hand." ”

The words of San Theo Lee immediately spread throughout the army, and those dull and somewhat depressed were swept away, and the morale was high, and they were all holding back their strength, just waiting for San Theo Lee to give an order to counterattack the Western Alliance.

Of course, the counteroffensive will have to wait for some time, and it will only be when the enemy's morale collapses that the maximum result can be achieved with the least casualties.

Although the Western Alliance deployed heavy troops to guard the grain and grass, it was also easily chiseled when it encountered the most elite dragoons on the continent without any defense, and used a small amount of black oil to ignite mountains of grain and grass.

After the dragoons lit the grain and grass, they still crisscrossed the enemy formation, preventing the enemy from putting out the fire, and the poor camp was in disarray, and by the time the dragoons broke through, the fire could not be extinguished. The fire at the end of autumn is not so easy to extinguish, or is it a dry flammable material.

How did the dragoons appear here?

When Tork Orlando heard the news, he knew that it was over, and the so-called situation was nothing more than a play played by his master Shi Yue, or Li Yuxuan, or the emperor of the Xia Empire, and this play was just a foreplay for Li Yuxuan to annex the West.

It's just that Tork Orlando can't figure out why the Tianlong Empire would cooperate with the Xia Empire to play such a play, even if the Tianlong Empire and the Xia Empire want to divide the West, but for topography reasons, the Tianlong Empire and the West are separated by the Xia Empire, how can this spoils be divided?

Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Empire is willing to watch the Xia Empire dominate step by step? Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Empire is willing to see an unprecedentedly powerful empire appear around it? Isn't the Heavenly Dragon Empire afraid of being annexed by the Xia Empire like the West in the future?

Of course, what Tork Orlando couldn't figure out, the West didn't understand, and the only person who understood had passed away, and that was the old man in the Alps. Therefore, the West has also stepped into the trap carefully laid by Li Yuxuan, and the person who can lay this trap has ever appeared in history?

The grain and grass have been burned, there are at least 10,000 dragoons wandering outside, and there are still 100,000 infantry at home (the capital), what should be done about the problem of supply? This problem is basically unsolvable, and it is simply impossible to maintain the supply of nearly one million troops in this situation of external and internal troubles.

The next day, when Fabre's army began to retreat, the entire coalition army was in chaos, and only by retreating could there be a glimmer of life, but would there be any chance of retreating?

On November 1, 202, before Fabre's army had withdrawn to the country, Tork Orlando surrendered to the Xia Empire on behalf of the Kingdom of Fabre. In fact, the 100,000 troops in Fabre at this time were already in Newmanman.

After the Western coalition army burned out the grain and grass, San Theo Lee still waited for a day, and when it was confirmed that after the Western coalition retreated, the army left behind began to collapse, and then led the troops to defeat the Western coalition army's remaining broken troops, and then led the elite cavalry to pursue, with the Seven Colored Cavalry Regiment and the Black Dragon Knights in the ranks.

The war lasted until December 25, 202 A.D., when San Theo Lee stood in the capital of the Newingman Empire and officially announced to the mainland that the Xia Empire had won a great victory.

On the same day, the Tianlong Empire sent a letter of surrender, and Li Yuxuan ceremoniously received Xiao Jian and his party in Kefield, and at the same time announced the unification of the mainland and the official arrival of the era of peace.
