With the fall of the outer trench positions, the influx of a large number of soldiers from the Bactrian army directly caused the troops on the Nordic side to retreat.

In a very short period of time, the entire trench position was completely lost.

The Norse defenders retreated all the way to the entrance to the fortress, trying to die in their arms.

However, they have all fought to this extent, and Huaye will not give them any respite.

The elephant-man giant artillery advancing with the army directly pressed on, although the elephant-man giant artillery is positioned as a large rear row, but as a flexible unit with mobility, his melee destructive power should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that in this melee situation, in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, the artillery units in the rear cannot carry out artillery support at all, but the elephant giant artillery can personally rush up and start close combat!

The elephant man giant artillery directly used the barrel of the giant cannon in his hand as a melee weapon, and then hit it with one blow, and the terrifying force directly smashed through the entrance defense of the enemy fortress.

In just an instant, the last straw of the border fortress in the eastern part of Northern Europe was completely crushed, and even if the garrison generals were unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and give the evacuation order.

In this regard, if conditions permit, Hua Ye will naturally not let go of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, even if he gives the order to pursue.

While completing the task of capturing the border fortresses in the eastern part of Northern Europe, the infantry units of Bactria directly launched the pursuit mission.

However, this frontier fortress is the home of the Nordic army after all, and in terms of familiarity, the other side is far more than the soldiers of Great Xia.

When the soldiers of the eastern frontier fortress of Northern Europe escaped through the exit at the other end of the fortress, before they could escape far, a wolf howl sent them into desperation again.

As a rear hand guard in the vicinity of the wolf guerrilla troops, quickly killed.

After getting close to a certain distance, a salvo was launched.

The Nordic army, which had been attacked during the evacuation, was in chaos, and they wanted to break through, but the whole army had long since lost its organization, and the scattered offensive could hardly pose much of a threat.

The wolf warrior guerrilla troops on the opposite side relied on their own mobility and flexibility to constantly intercept and kill them.

Several times they failed to break through, but instead knocked themselves on the head and broke their blood, a large number of Nordic soldiers were shot and killed, and the shadow of death quickly hung over their hearts.

The most fatal thing is that the main force of Great Xia, which is chasing behind, has already been killed.

Under the flanking attack, the Nordic soldiers quickly collapsed.

The successful capture of this enemy frontier fortress was of great significance to the Great Xia army.

On the other side, Slan and Keree were also victorious.

Losing the barrier of this border fortress, the city in the rear instantly became a fish on the chopping block of the eastern army, Hua Ye rushed to lead the army all the way into the city before the enemy headquarters reacted.

During this period, a battle report was also sent back to Great Xia City as quickly as possible.

Zhang Liang, who was deducing the battle situation in the main hall, couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration after reading this battle report.

"Your Majesty's methods this time are really bold, and Weichen admires them."

Hearing this, Xia Qi looked at the huge map in front of him and waved his hand casually.

In fact, he was taking a risk this time.

After reading this battle report, Xia Qi stretched out his hand and landed a chess piece representing the Great Xia army on the territory of the eastern civilization of Arken Jingo.

Then he said helplessly: "I can't help it, the three of them beat me one by one, if I come in a decent way, then I will definitely fail in the end." Besides, those two guys had amassed more than 100,000 troops outside Lulongse, and in this way, the troops behind them must be empty. With such an opportunity in front of me, if I don't do something, I feel sorry for myself. ”

Obviously, Xia Qi's layout has also been planned for a long time.

Of the three Norse players, Kir Fito and Alken Kingo's territory map, he has. In this way, the gathering of forces and resources to quickly determine the two attack routes, coupled with the elven druid's aerial vision and reconnaissance efficiency, a large plan that has been prepared for several years has begun.

For this plan, Xia Qi spent a lot of energy and time, and built three camps for hoarding resources on each of these two routes.

The six resource camps on the two routes provided sufficient resource supplies for the armies in the east and west directions, which led to the current scene.

"Du Ruhui, how is the grain output of this year's autumn harvest?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's another year of great harvest."

While speaking, Du Ruhui, as an assistant officer, quickly sent a report to Xia Qi's eyes.

Flipping through the report, Xia Qi glanced at it twice, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a satisfied smile.

Compared to the amount of ammunition and guns he hoarded, he was probably not as good as Kir Fito or Arken Kingo, but he was extremely confident in the amount of food produced.

After all, Great Xia is a big grain producer in the true sense of the word.

With civilization bonuses, as well as the role of elves, plus there are a lot of cultivated fields inside Great Xia, Great Xia can produce amazing food every year.

It can be said that the grain in Daxia is increasing year by year, and the warehouse is bursting every year.

Within civilization, food is even more pitiful, because there are so many that they can't be sold at all.

If it weren't for Xia Qi's introduction of grain protection prices, I am afraid that the people would not be willing to grow grain.

Now that the war is fighting, it has helped to reduce a lot of the burden on the granary built by the government.

"Next, it should be here."

On that huge map, a chess piece fell again, and Xia Qi at this time was grasping the entire battle situation into his hands little by little.

-------------------------------------

Before you know it, the season is winter.

This winter is tantamount to a nightmare for many people in the Arken Kingo civilization.

This autumn's harvest has been so poor that food prices have fallen at all.

The Imperial military was requisitioning grain on a large scale, and at the same time, the big merchants and some wealthy families who realized the sense of crisis also began to buy food on a large scale, just to avoid the possible famine that would break out next.

Ironically, however, this did much to facilitate the outbreak of famine.

The large amount of grain purchased in the empire caused less and less food to be found in the market, and in the second month after the onset of winter, the grain shops in the cities simply closed their doors.

Civilians, who had nowhere to buy food and no money to buy it, became the first victims of the famine.

By the time Arken Kingo rushed back to his empire as fast as he could, the situation couldn't have been worse.

The borders were lost, and famine had begun to break out in cities large and small within the empire.

Faced with the threat of death, some of the hungry refugees directly turned into thugs to attack the food stores and make zero-dollar purchases.

Others even rushed into other people's homes to steal food.

In just two months since the beginning of winter, hundreds of similar incidents have already occurred.

Looking at the report in front of him, Arken Kingo's face was gloomy and almost dripping.

He could not blame his ministers for buying grain on a large scale, as it was an important material to ensure the combat strength of their imperial army.

In times of war, it is necessary to ensure that the army has enough food in any case, otherwise, it will not be far from defeat.

Therefore, even if he was in the imperial capital at that time, I am afraid that he would have made the same decision.

And what he didn't expect was something much earlier.

Arken Jingo had no idea that the cold snap from the northern part of Great Xia would have such a huge impact on their empire's farming.

In the first year of the all-out war, no one paid attention to the change in the harvest of this crop.

After all, crops, according to the climate and environment, there are a few years of good harvest and a few years of poor harvest, which is a common thing.

But at that time, no one thought that the root cause of the poor harvest came from the bitter cold.

In the past few years, that cold snap can be said to have spread little by little, and the impact on the empire has become greater and greater.

It is precisely because of this that the harvest gets worse every year.

For some crops, the decline in yield is good, and many other crops simply freeze to death.

In comparison, the situation of Valon Gale's orc civilization is much better than that of Arken Jingo, because the orcs themselves are not good at farming.

However, Velen Gale is a player after all, and no matter how bad he is, he can toss some crops.

When it came time to choose crops, Veron Gale chose crops that were easy to grow, extremely yielding, and tenacious, even in harsh environments.

This practice has led to a very single crop variety in the orc civilization, but it has also successfully fed this group of non-picky eaters.

Under this premise, the impact of the climate of the bitter cold land on the crops of the orc civilization is almost negligible at present.

The special circumstances of their own civilization have allowed them to escape the catastrophe by mistake.

Straight to the point.

At this time, Arken Kingo's entire empire was shrouded in a lingering haze.

The outbreak of famine directly led to a series of subsequent troubles.

On street corners, alleys, and next to garbage dumps, the bodies of refugees can often be found.

Within the Empire, times are turbulent.

Alken Kingo sat on his throne, he could never have imagined that he had developed to such a point, how could he accidentally fall into such a vicious circle.

Obviously, he doesn't know a word, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.

The larger the size of the civilization, the more you need to be careful, one wrong step, one wrong step, one careless, will fall into a place of no return.

Now, he didn't know how many people in the empire would die of cold and starvation after a winter.

Judging from the current situation, if he wants to stabilize the situation, the best way is naturally to open a warehouse and release grain to help the victims.

But how much food is needed to survive millions of refugees this winter!

Not to mention, his army also needs food.

If he did, would the army still have the strength to fight when the winter passed?

At this time, Alken Jingo's heart was irritable, and it was difficult to see the extreme with his face.

Then he slammed the table and made a decision in his mind.

I saw him write a few names on a piece of paper and hand them to the guard officer standing aside.

Every name on this piece of paper is a famous merchant in the empire.

Rising food prices, soaring prices, and finally the outbreak of famine are absolutely indispensable to these guys driving up prices and fueling the flames.

At the same time, Arken Jingo is even more convinced that these guys are definitely hoarding a lot of food in their hands.

In the past, although these people were all profiteers, shoddy, cheating, and abducting and deceiving everything, but it was seen that they did drive the economy and trade in the empire, and at the same time paid a lot of taxes every year.

Therefore, Arken Kingo used to turn a blind eye.

But now, after all, the situation is special, and if you want to survive this difficulty, you must get enough food from their hands.

It's just that...... I hope these guys know each other.
