Chapter 142: Dowry?

The news of the destruction of the Northern Raiders Army spread quickly, and within half a month, Ouyang Yu's army, together with the servant army, wiped out a total of 180,000 people in the thirteen divisions of the Imperial Army, of which more than 100,000 were captured.

At this time, the powerful attack ability shown by Ouyang Yu's army in the battle impressed everyone, and the various tactics in it were also unforgettable, and the airborne troops descended from the sky to occupy the transportation hub Kaskinin City, making it difficult for the reinforcements of the Eleventh Front Army of the Imperial Army to quickly reach the front line.

The concentrated use of armored forces was quickly interspersed, and the airborne regiment hanging in the rear of the enemy was reinforced in time, which not only firmly blocked the reinforcements of the 11th Front Army, created favorable conditions for the follow-up troops to encircle and annihilate the front-line troops of the Imperial Army, but also severely damaged the reinforcements of the Imperial Army, so that all the military strategists of the other world were dazzled, and it turned out that tanks could still be used in this way.

And the most concerned is Ouyang Yujun's air force, whether it is the siege and annihilation of the northern front line in Gaul, or the defensive battle near Kaskinin City, Ouyang Yujun's air force has all played the leading role, fully and effectively supporting the ground forces, it can be said that if there is no air force support in this battle, Ouyang Yu's army will pay a huge price even if it wins, and the time will not be so fast.

The various tactics used by Ouyang Yu in this battle have been put in front of military strategists and generals from all over the world, and have become the best material for military strategists and generals from all countries to study painstakingly.

Ouyang Yu's main force did not rest for a moment after returning, and then launched a new round of attacks to the south, because with the addition of 150,000 northern four allied troops, 100,000 Ouyang Yu's army went straight to the former Gallic Kingdom capital St. Ives City, as long as the remnants of the Eleventh Army in St. Ives City were eliminated, the entire Gaul would be under Ouyang Yu's control.

Tens of thousands of Phoenix people in the city of Saint-Ives were in a panic like the end of the world, and all the Phoenix immigrants had heard about what had happened in Calais, and they were afraid that they would also become the target of revenge from the Gauls, so they abandoned their properties and took their families and possessions with them, and fled the city of Saint-Ives in droves, some went south to the central occupation zone, and some went west to the Ingra occupation zone, but none of them dared to stay in Saint-Ives.

The Gauls in St. Ives hid behind their doors and gloated at the Phoenix fleeing from St. Ives, the Gallic governor had declared martial law, and all Gauls could only go out for a few hours, and if they were outside outside of the allotted hours, they would be shot on the spot as rebels.

In the governor's palace, Governor Hope wiped the cold sweat on his face and asked Admiral Luther beside him, "If His Highness attacks the city, will your army be able to hold it?"

Admiral Luther smiled bitterly and replied, "You should ask how long my troops can hold out." ”

Governor Hope did not expect Admiral Luther to answer like this, and asked again in surprise: "You mean that if His Highness calls, you will not be able to hold the city of St. Ives at all?"

Admiral Luther nodded honestly, "I only have less than 30,000 troops now, how can I deal with His Highness's 250,000 troops? Even if I shave off the garbage of the Northern Four-Nation Alliance, my 30,000 people can't defeat His Highness's well-equipped and well-trained 100,000 people, unless ......." ”

"Unless what?" said Governor Hope, as if grasping at a straw, as if hastily asked.

"Unless the Central Military Region can send at least 150,000 troops to reinforce us, we might as well consider whether to surrender or flee," Admiral Luther made a little joke in bitter amusement.

Whether it was surrender or escape, the governor of Hope did not want to choose, he could sit on the throne of the governor of the occupied territory of Gaul, which he had won with great difficulty by defeating all his competitors, and he was really reluctant to give up like this.

"No, it is necessary to ask for help from the Empire, if the Gallic occupation zone is lost, it will be unacceptable to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, it will increase the resistance of the hillbillies in the east, the city of Saint-Ives cannot be lost, and the occupied territory of Gallic cannot be lost. ”

Governor Hope left Admiral Luther behind and walked briskly to the telegraph room, where a long telegram flew through the wireless waves to the Phoenix Empire.

In the Imperial Palace of Shuangqing City, the imperial capital of the Phoenix Empire, the fifty-eight-year-old Victor VI sat in the center of the hall, and his left and right were full of important ministers of the Phoenix Empire, with civil officials on the left and military generals on the right, and more than 100 people gathered in the conference hall.

Victor VI took a telegram and said to the ministers below: "This is a telegram from Hope asking for help, read it to everyone." ”

Victor VI's favorite eunuch respectfully took the telegram and read it aloud.

"On September 26, 312 of the imperial calendar, the city of St. Ives, the capital of Gaul in the newly occupied area, was surrounded by 250,000 troops led by His Royal Highness Ouyang, and the life and death of Saint Ives were small, but the gains and losses of St. Ives City were related to the face of the empire, and the 30,000 imperial soldiers and tens of thousands of people in the city could not be lost. ”

Governor Hope's telegram was long, and the eunuch read it for several minutes.

When the eunuch finished reading the last word, most of the ministers below did not have the previous calm, in their minds the imperial army is invincible, how many enemies have been eliminated today, how many enemies have been eliminated tomorrow, the battle report of victory has been calloused in their ears, but Hope's telegram broke the myth of the invincibility of the imperial army in their minds, the first reaction was that it was impossible to be sure that something was wrong, but the sender was the imperial governor in a high position, if he was not really in a desperate situation, he would definitely not send such a telegram.

One of the ministers stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to the newly occupied Gaul?, we don't know the ins and outs of the matter, how can we solve the problem?" And who is His Highness Ouyang mentioned in Lord Hope's telegram?

The minister asked the question in the minds of most of the people present, and Victor VI said to Crown Prince Danny, who was sitting in the lower left corner of him: "You can explain it to everyone, after all, Ouyang's matter can also be said to be your business." ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Chinese New Year's Eve The one-year-old crown prince Danny stood up from his seat, Danny's appearance is very similar to Victor VI, with a national face, a white face, not handsome, but a calm temperament, black hair, black eyes with a little brown, and the purity of blood is only sixty-five percent, but even so, it is already the purest in his generation.

"Your Highness Ouyang in Hope's mouth, her full name is Yu Ouyang, a young woman who is not yet twenty years old, she is the leader of a mercenary group with the Duchy of Lucerne, who suddenly appeared in the Eastern Continent more than a year ago, leading her army to fight against the Empire. ”

Danny gave a brief introduction to Ouyang Yu and told the ministers loudly what she had done in the past year or two years.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the old minister has a question. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis of Wilfried, asked: "After listening to your introduction, that Ouyang has been with the empire many times, and he is a staunch anti-imperial element, but I can't hear a little hatred for that woman from your tone, and it seems to have a sense of appreciation, which makes the old minister feel very puzzled and please answer." ”

"That's because she's my future crown princess, the future queen of the empire. Crown Prince Danny's proud tone stunned the ministers.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, Crown Princess, ...... What the hell are you talking about? You already have a crown princess?"

Yes, the crown prince Danny had been married ten years ago, and the object was the purest woman in the royal family, and the two also gave birth to a prince, who is almost nine years old this year.

Danny shook his finger and posed as if you were too lonely and unheard, " After you listen to it, you will know why, Roni stayed by Ouyang's side for a few months because of a coincidence, and the news that Roni sent back said that Ouyang has a pure black long hair and eyes, and his appearance is completely different from the people of the Eastern Continent, but it is close to my Victor royal family, speaking of which, you should all understand, three hundred years ago, the Aotian Emperor once predicted that there may be a pure-blood royal family like him inexplicably in the future, if it is a man, he will be killed immediately, and if it is a woman, he will marry as a queen, and give birth to a purer bloodline offspring for the royal family。 ”

"Wow!" was an exclamation in the hall.

A minister asked excitedly: "That woman, isn't it, that His Royal Highness Ouyang is really a pure-blooded royal family who appeared inexplicably?"

"Yes, after I received the news, I sent the special guard, and with the cooperation of Roni, I captured Ouyang and tested her bloodline, and the result of the test was ....... Danny sold his way and enjoyed the attention of the ministers before continuing: "The result of the test is one hundred percent, Ouyang's bloodline purity is the same as that of the Aotian Emperor three hundred years ago!"

"Since His Highness Ouyang has been captured, why did Hope send a telegram saying that His Highness Ouyang's army is attacking the occupied territory of Gaul?"

Danny made a helpless expression, "Some time ago, when Roni and Ouyang were passing through the occupied area of Ingla, some bugs hiding in the shadows caused her to take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

After Danny finished introducing Ouyang Yu's situation, Victor VI, who had not spoken, asked, "Now that everyone understands, tell me your opinion, what should Hope do?"

"Father. Danny preemptively said: "Now that Ouyang has left the Duchy of Lucerne, there is no army but no land, I think it is better to give her the Gallic occupation area, and at the same time send someone to repair the relationship with the empire, so that Ouyang will no longer be an enemy of our empire, once the empire is no longer hostile to her and reconcile with her, it will be much easier to propose to her in the future," Danny laughed out loud.

Danny's proposal was endorsed by many ministers, but there were also objections, and Danny retorted: " Even if it is not given to her, our army is now unable to reinforce Hope, the strength of the central theater is now very tight, although the southern theater has a surplus but the distance is too far, Gaul can not hold it no matter what, rather than doing this, it is better to be a favor, but when the time is loud to publicize everywhere, saying that it is given to her as a dowry, and it can also separate the relationship between Ouyang and the eastern countries, and win her to the side of the empire. ”

Now that no one could refute Danny's proposal, Victor VI nodded and said, "Then do as Danny says, and send a telegram to Hope asking him to withdraw from Gaul with the army." ”
