Chapter Eighty-Three: Steel Broth (Subscription Requested!! )

Katsa!

The soles of her shoes stepped on the hard ground covered with a layer of black ice, the air was as cold as the cold of a sword's edge, Katerina's face was slightly red from the cold, she stood on the hillside, exhaled a white breath, took the binoculars handed by her attendant, and looked at Chelyabinsk not far away.

The ground around there was a twisted barbed wire fence that stretched like a vast thorn bush that covered the city all around.

In the city, patrolling Windsor soldiers can be seen looming, occupying the Blackstone Bunker and using these ancient structures to defend against enemy onslaught.

Condescendingly, with the Deletal bolt-action rifle in their hands, they can effectively inflict damage on the enemy.

Since the defeat at the Battle of Tyumen, the Kingdom of Windsor has changed its mind, moving away from the classic two-line formation and opting for more ancient tactics, intending to defend the land they have captured to the death.

The civilians in the city have long since been transferred, and only a small number of people who do not want to leave remain, although Katerina did not see them in the binoculars, but presumably the self-proclaimed civilized Kingdom of Windsor would not have taken such a cruel and inhumane measure as slaughtering the city.

When Katerina observed the city, the soldiers of the Windsor Kingdom in the city also spotted her, and everyone looked across a plain covered with iron thorns, and no one had any intention of attacking.

"I'm in trouble."

Onufri, who followed behind Katerina, said: "The enemy army has already set up a formation, and intends to fight a tough battle with us, most of our men are cavalry, and they can't break through the iron thorns at all, and they can only become live targets if they attack rashly." ”

Ralph nodded: "Not only that, but they also hide the priests, if we can't deal with those priests, the soldiers of the Windsor Kingdom will become monsters that can't be killed, and we will suffer a big loss in hand-to-hand combat." ”

The rear of the city of Chelyabinsk is the majestic Ural Mountains, the west side is gentle, the east side is steep, if you do not take Chelyabinsk, choose to detour to the rear of the enemy army, although it is feasible, but the risk is too high, once the enemy sets up an ambush on the road that must be passed, then it is necessary to face the enemy troops in front and behind at the same time, the narrow valley is a straight line, and the cavalry will become a live target ....

And the enemy planned in this way, the Kingdom of Windsor arranged more than 100,000 troops in Chelyabinsk in the south of the Ural Mountains and Yinvjieli in the north, heavily defended, but the Tagil garrison under the middle passage was sparsely defended, obviously wanting to launch a surprise attack when the Romanov Kingdom was detouring, forming a three-sided encirclement.

More importantly, the Ural Mountains are rich in mineral resources and extremely important industrial areas, and if they are not recaptured soon, the Kingdom of Windsor will become stronger and stronger.

"The snow on the mountains is too deep for the horses to rush up, and Chelyabinsk must be recaptured."

Katerina put down her binoculars, asked the soldier to bring the map, looked at it carefully, and said: "As long as we take back this city, we will be able to cross the Ural Mountains, and then it will be a smooth road, all the way to the city of Mosk." ”

"Your Highness, how about we borrow the Barbarossa Empire?" Onufri suddenly pointed to the border line and said: "Let's go out of the border, march from the north of the Barbarossa Empire, make a big circle, go back to the western part of the Ural Mountains, cut off the enemy's railway supply line, starve them for a few days, the enemy will run after us, and if the enemy does not chase us, they will sneak attack and harass them, so that they can't care about each other, or it won't be long before their soldiers will collapse." ”

"The tactics are good, but have you ever thought about it, the five group armies, nearly 600,000 troops, are all assembled in the Ural Mountains, and we don't have time to make a detour at all." Katerina said: "This is a tough battle, the Romanov Kingdom intends to gnaw at this area, our side must fight, otherwise the enemy in Chelyabinsk will go north to attack the flank of Duke Yovanovich, and we can't just go our own way." ”

There is not much time left for the Romanov kingdom, whether it is King Paul I or Grand Duke Katerina of Mosk, they all know the truth of a quick victory, if the war drags on for too long, other kingdoms that are about to move will not be able to hold back.

In short, the Romanov kingdom must use the toughest posture to show its fists to the other kingdoms, as long as it is hard enough, it can intimidate them.

Once you are soft, you don't dare to be tough and hard, and play some tricks that don't go into the stream, not to mention the enemy, even women look down on you.

"But if we attack head-on, our casualties will be too great." Onufri sighed: "The enemy hiding in the fortifications, the weapons are more advanced than ours, the range is longer than ours, and with the iron thorns, we can't rush through at all...."

Katerina pondered, of course she knew that a frontal assault would have to pay a terrible price, but it was also a test for a good general, and giving the right command and choosing the attack method with the least casualties were all things that a commander should do.

It would be nice if Father Mavi was here.... He can help us in our attack with strange magic.... The casualties will definitely be reduced a lot.... Katerina thought.

The Siren's Tears, which can change the terrain, is definitely a big killer on the battlefield, but the communication has entered the hinterland of the Great Siberian Plain, and it is impossible for a divine soldier to descend from the sky and appear on the battlefield.

"We need a weapon that can break barbed wire ..."

Katerina remembered the steam icebreaker they were on, in fact, the ice floes were not much different from barbed wire, and if they could destroy the ice floe, they could destroy the barbed wire, but the steam icebreaker was obviously impossible to drive on land.

It was too late to invent a steam icebreaker that could travel on land, and the first priority was to capture Chelyabinsk, one of the main battlefields, on which Katerina could only rely on 50,000 elite soldiers.

Each of them had fought with Peter the Great and was experienced, and the more elite soldiers there were, the more Katerina didn't want to see them die in front of the seemingly stupid but intractable barbed wire.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Edward suddenly said: "I can summon the Black Fort of the Blood Clan in this area, destroy the barbed wire, and at the same time, I can also summon the scroll battle to capture the city of Chelyabinsk, it is not difficult." ”

From Edward's voice, Katerina didn't hear much of an attitude, as if in its eyes, the soldiers cowering in the fortifications on the other side were like a swarm of ants, and they died with a light twist.

But Archbishop Henry has not shown his true strength so far, and the magic of the main god of the Wisdom God Cult has not appeared, exposing Edward's power without knowing the opponent's hole cards....

Katerina was a little entangled, she didn't want to sacrifice too many soldiers, and she didn't want Edward to make a move, after thinking for a moment, she still shook her head: "Forget it, try my plan first, if it doesn't work, it's not too late for you to make a move." ”

"Onufri!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Bring in the artillery and treat them to a steel broth!"
