Chapter 1393: Good News Spreads Frequently (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
For the Terran continent, the Chūn day of 836 in the Julian calendar came later than before.
In previous years, when the temperature rose in February, it was already chūn windy, but this year, the snow and ice on the ground have not yet melted, and there is no trace of chūn day.
The once peaceful and tranquil kingdom of Kiel has now become a huge battlefield.
Since last summer, De Rossi staged a coup d'état, killing the king and killing his father, which aroused the indignation of all the countries on the mainland, and sent Lao He troops to maintain his peace.
The chariots of the army rumbled over the land like thunder.
Later, the demons landed and launched a counterattack. The old man who was killed and the troops were crushed for thousands of miles.
Chariots rumbled over the land like thunder.
Later, the Semites took advantage of the victory and pursued again
The Terrans regrouped their forces and fought back,
Then, the Semites fought back again......
Up to now, this land is still the focus of the two sides' strangulation and contention, with a total of nearly 800,000 troops fighting each other incessantly.
The ongoing war has almost completely destroyed the entire kingdom.
The countryside has been razed, the cities have been devastated, the forests have been cut down, and the desolate land is littered with graves.
Crows, wild dogs, wolves, foxes...... and so on, all wild animals are unscrupulous in the dilapidated villages and towns.
Even if I searched for thousands of miles, I couldn't find a few places where there was smoke.
The Northern Army of Jouman, led by the Marquis of Marleton, has been holding on to Kirk, the capital of the Kingdom of Kiel, as well as several important cities and dangerous passes in the kingdom.
and made up of Semitic and human vassals. The total number of troops is more than half a million. Besieging the Mans from three sides. Sometimes he also penetrated deep into the rear of the battle line to disturb him, holding back the Marquis Marques's Northern Army, making it difficult for him to get out and return to the aid of Ruman.
After four months of fierce fighting, the battle lines of the two armies were staggered, and each side had its own strange plan, and it was difficult to solve the problem on this land.
It often revolves around a small town and a hill. You occupied it in the morning, and I took it at noon. In the afternoon, there was another change...... Even when the defending soldiers went out to pee, when they looked back, the banner had changed.
The gains and losses of the position changed hands, and one rì changed three times, which was completely unpredictable.
Because the tide of battle is changing so quickly, the Supreme Commander often can't figure out where his troops are. It can only be as if it was dark, constantly increasing troops to the front line.
As the tug-of-war continues, the gap between the two sides is gradually revealed.
Although the number of Semitic and human vassals is large, the quality is uneven.
The Semitic people can be regarded as jīng sharp, daring to fight and dare to rush. I can grab something. And military discipline is also extremely strict. Extremely combative. It is completely possible to compete with the regular legions of the Ruman Empire.
But...... But the human vassal army can only be regarded as a head, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.
But the good thing is that they don't ask for much. They only need to take care of two porridges a day, although they can't fight, but they can still do these tasks by patrolling and escorting and maintaining local law and order.
Although the Semitic people were extremely contemptuous of these people, they all agreed that only three vassal armies could be used by a dog. But for the officials at the top, this is a kind of praise in disguise: If three vassal armies are on top of a dog, wouldn't a 30,000 vassal army be able to top 10,000 dogs? Isn't a 300,000 vassal army a hundred thousand dogs?
How many ants bite and kill elephants, let alone dogs?
In actual combat, they found that they were still too optimistic about the combat strength of the vassal army. In fact, all ten of them combined, they are not as good as a dog.
Although they carried out the task of jǐng ring and transportation in the rear, as soon as they saw the banner of the Terran guerrillas, they scattered in a hurry.
There are even some dog cubs who directly become the leading party, relying on their familiarity with geography and understanding the inside situation, leading the Terran army to touch the military stronghold here.
And the Semitic army thought that it was in the rear and relaxed its due jǐngti, so many times, those guerrillas caused a lot of losses to the Semitic army.
On the Terran side, there were more than fifty Juman legions led by the Marquis of Marleton.
Although the total number of troops was not as large as that of the enemy, and because of the need to defend several strategic points to prevent the enemy from bypassing the kingdom of Kiel and entering Juman, the army was also dispersed.
They have always been on the defensive side during the war, but the Ruman Legion is full of veterans with rich war experience.
These soldiers fought fiercely against the barbarians in the north for many years, and some of them also participated in the conquest of Haddou, and their combat effectiveness and morale were not comparable to those of the enemy.
And there were more than 300 artillery pieces to assist, in addition, Lord Luo also squeezed out a lot of grenades from between his teeth and transported them over.
In addition, in addition to defending, they also used a large number of small units of jīng sharp troops to act as guerrillas, interspersed the rear of the enemy's battle line, disrupt the enemy's transportation and food supplies, and even assassinate the enemy's officers and soldiers.
Therefore, although they were few in number, they were on a par with the enemy.
It was in this situation that the combined forces of Maple Leaf Danlin and Vatino led by Vabador suddenly entered the battlefield from the southeast.
The Maple Leaf Danlin and Vatino alliance have mages to suppress the formation, and the attack power is strong.
The human vassals deployed in the rear were no match for Vabador, so as soon as the Red Maple Leaf Banner arrived, the enemy fled.
In this way, the Feng army sang a triumphant song all the way, and recovered a large part of the kingdom of Kiel.
On the Semitic side, after Veraprani, the successor commander of this army was General Abegren.
He is also an experienced veteran, and as soon as he saw this, he immediately quickly and decisively reduced his forces.
He had less than 200,000 Semitic soldiers in his hands, not as many as the regular army of Juman in Marreton, and those human legions were simply unreliable.
However, among them, there were several Praetorian Guard divisions from the imperial city of Arcaderin, which had good combat effectiveness and had always been regarded as an ace by Abegren.
After hearing that there was still a fully staffed Caribbean 4th Division in the rear. Abegren immediately appealed to Ryder City. Transfer the Caribbean Division to yourself. A fully staffed Semitic division is enough to top ten divisions of the vassal army.
In this situation, the 4th Caribbean Division embarks on their new journey, and an unpredictable future awaits them.
The veteran General Abegren deployed the human vassal army as cannon fodder on the periphery to buy himself as much time as possible.
××××××
On the fifth day of February, in the slightly cold north, General Vabadore looked at the rout army running in the mountains and fields in the west under the banner of the maple leaves, and couldn't help but show a distressed expression.
The little staff officer next to him laughed and patted his ass. He said: "Congratulations, Dean, you have defeated the enemy once, and this is the fourteenth consecutive victory since our army entered the Kingdom of Kiel. ”
Vabadore had a dark face, and said: "Victory, win a fart, even the girls of Maple Leaf Danlin can win against them." He nǎinǎi, before our side of the formation was set up, they collapsed, and they were simply disgraced to us human beings. ”
The staff officers shrugged helplessly as they listened to Vabadore's babbling complaints. The old guy didn't know why, it was like taking gunpowder. Whoever catches sprays whom, is not satisfied with anything.
However, there is one thing that the staff officers quite agree with, defeating these human puppets who have defected to the Semitic tribe, the girls of the Maple Leaf Danlin are enough, and those girls are not easy to mess with.
From entering the Kingdom of Kiel until now, the coalition forces have not even encountered a decent battle, and most of the enemy troops on the opposite side have already fled, even if they are left, they will collapse with a bang before the Maple Leaf Danlin people can fire.
For the Maple Leaf Danlin coalition army, the most troublesome thing is to contain the prisoners.
Tens of millions of prisoners of war had to be captured in every battle, and how to settle them became the most troublesome thing for the coalition forces, which were tens of thousands of people, not tens of thousands of pigs.
Gathering them up and keeping them in custody would be a waste of troops, and they would have to eat and sleep.
Regardless of them, I am afraid that these people will stir up trouble behind the coalition forces.
Vabador was now apprehensive at the sight of such a victory, which meant that he had to add a few thousand more prisoners of war.
In desperation, Vabadore had no choice but to order their weapons to be confiscated, and then drive them to the Semitic position, and then the Semitic people should have a headache with this problem.
After quickly crushing this group of enemy forces and driving the deserters westward, the banner of the Chinese army in Vabadore slowly moved towards the city in front.
At this moment, the gate of this small city is open, and through the west gate, you can see the opposite gate and the empty street in the city.
The city wall was empty, only a few banners of various flowers drooped dejectedly, and it was obvious that the human vassal army that had just been defeated was quite mixed, and it was a mixture of several forces.
A troop of cavalry roared into the city, and it took only twenty minutes to circle the city, and it was determined that the city was empty, that the Semitic and human vassals who had been stationed here had run clean, that there were no citizens in the city, and that the whole city was empty.
The cavalry waved to the large army outside the city, and the coalition forces began to enter the city.
Vabadore glanced at the city, then raised the horsewhip in his hand in a dashing manner, and said in a loud voice: "Record~!"
"Yes. The little staff officer behind him agreed, and immediately opened the clipboard, took out a pen, and prepared to record Vabador's orders.
"After fierce fighting, our troops have taken Warburg.
In this battle, the enemy was annihilated...... More than 20,000 enemies were annihilated. After a little repair, our troops will engage the Semitic people head-on. Vabadore wanted to speak, but when he saw that the staff officer had finished writing, he ordered: "Send it to the maple leaf danlin, and it must be published in tomorrow's newspaper." ”
"Yes~!" The staff officer responded loudly, snickering secretly in his heart: Although this old man has a bad temper, his ability to rob military merits and brag about 13 is outstanding.
Every battle passed through the mouth of his old man was described as a hard, fierce, and tragic battle, and the results were brilliant, and tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated at every turn.
And it must be published in the "Red Maple Leaf" newspaper, so that everyone can see his old man's victories.
If a careful person counts the results of the battle reported by Vabadorden, he will find that his old man has destroyed a total of nearly 300,000 enemy troops since the beginning of the war.
He had almost eliminated all the enemies in the Kingdom of Kiel, but in fact, the leaders of the major groups knew what was going on.
The three deans of Maple Leaf Danlin. All of them are old jiān giant slippery. Believe them and you will see hell.
However, readers in the rear, in addition to cheering for victory. Of course, they will not know the truth, and everyone only sees that the coalition army, under the leadership of Dean Wabador, has been advancing all the way like a bamboo, advancing hundreds of miles in a dozen days, and destroying a large number of enemies.
In comparison, the Marquis of Marleton was simply playing soy sauce, and he had been fighting for several months, and he had not even won a decent victory.
on this. The Marquis of Marleton is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and his resentment can only be held in his heart, Vabador is fighting a vassal army that is not much stronger than the militia, and he is the main force of the Semitic people.
More importantly, in order to avoid the phenomenon of misrepresentation of military exploits, the Ruman Empire adopted the traditional method of 'documenting', which is accurate and effective, and has a long history.
A head, a military merit, Tong Su is not bullied, and he is extremely fair.
Not like the Maple Army. The main measure is to destroy the enemy, as long as the tactical goal is achieved. You can write it down.
The disadvantages of doing this are obvious, and all those who come out of the Feng Army are all braggart masters. The upper lip is against the sky, the lower lip is against the ground, and as for the face, it is not needed.
And the benefits are also obvious, which greatly avoids the appearance of the evil phenomenon unique to the army.
Relying on their powerful armament, the offensive of Maple Leaf Danlin was extremely ferocious, and in just a few days, their military flag was quickly planted on the wall of Warburg.
Conquering this place means that the coalition forces have broken through the last line of defense on the outer perimeter of the Semites, and are about to face the main Semitic forces head-on.
Although the Semitic people are the fierce enemies of the human race, because of this, there is no need to worry about those human routs, which is also good news for Wabador, who hates trouble.
Vabador then ordered the coalition forces to repair in Warburg for a few days, replenish supplies, and then defeat the Semites in one fell swoop.
While the coalition forces in Warburg were idle, the tide of war in the Kingdom of Kiel was changing dramatically.
Bringing in a large number of shells and grenades from the rear, the Marquis of Marleton, after being well prepared, launched a counterattack on all fronts against the Semites, and under his powerful offensive, the Semitic people retreated.
However, under the command of Abegren, the retreat of the Semitic army was orderly, and it did not allow Maleton to seize the opportunity to capture the main force of the Semitic people.
At the same time, the Marquis of Marreton's battle report was also sprinkled to the rear like money, as if to spill out all the resentment that had been suppressed by Vabador.
Yesterday just recovered a city, today it bravely marched dozens of miles, and the day after tomorrow, the enemy has defeated many divisions and regiments, and the morale of the whole army is high, and they are taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle......
This made Vabador, who was squatting in Warburg, quite irritated, and scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
But to the surprise of the coalition forces, all the supplies had been replenished, and General Vabador was also very anxious, but he just didn't give the order to set off. Nearly 100,000 Allied troops crowded around Warburg, reading the Marquis of Marleton's battle reports every day.
Until the 17th.
During the night, under the watchful eye of Vabador, a group of knights and mages quietly slipped out of Warburg and galloped westward.
Half an hour later, one of the riders in front of the group tightened the reins and stopped the horse, looking cautiously around.
Not far away was a small village, which was completely destroyed even on a dark night, with most of the houses burned to the ground and strange cries coming from the ruins.
"This is it. The leading knight waved to the man behind him, then jumped off his horse.
The surrounding knights immediately jumped off their horses and formed a defensive circle, their weapons pointing outward.
The leading knight took out a pistol in his right hand, and with his left hand he felt a whistle from his pocket, and blew it low on his mouth.
The sound was long and short, unruly, and sounded like it was being played at random.
The knight walked cautiously around the surroundings when a shrill cry of a night owl suddenly came from the darkness opposite.
The knight Huo Ran turned around, raised his pistol and pointed it in the direction where the voice came from, and shouted, "Come out, I see you." ”
A dark shadow slowly walked out of the ruins of the small village, he raised his hands high, and said, "Don't be nervous, relax, be careful of accidental injury." ”
Even from a distance of more than a dozen steps, you can see a tall and strong person on the other side.
He walked a few steps away from the knight and said with a smile, "Is it the section chief?"
Then he scratched his head again and said, "It's really strange, why do all of you call yourself section chief." ”
There was a "click" sound from the pistol in the section chief's hand, he pulled the hammer away, pointed at the man, and shouted in a low voice: "Password." ”
"Oh, I said, don't come up and act like you're doing business, you're very hospitable. ”
"I said the last time," the section chief's finger pressed on the trigger, and said word by word: "Password~!"
"Okay, okay, you win," the man in the dark muttered angrily, then cleared his throat and sang softly in a rough voice: "The big rabbit is sick and the second rabbit is ...... look."
"Okay, no more singing. The section chief closed the hammer of the pistol, waved his hand and hurriedly stopped the man's mad singing, he already had goosebumps, and asked, "You are late, Mr. Black." ”
Mr. Hei shrugged his shoulders in the mouth of the section chief, and said angrily: "This is a war zone, and if you are not careful, you will be hanged as a suspicious person, of course I have to be careful." ”
Then he pulled out something from his arms, threw it to the section chief, and said, "The thing is for you, let me make it clear first, you only have one chance, and you will not wait for the expiration date." ”
The section chief snorted dissatisfiedly and said unceremoniously: "You don't need to remind you about this." ”
Mr. Hei shrugged helplessly, he had long been accustomed to the attitude of these people dragging and dragging, and said secretly in his heart: I really don't know why, this group of guys is so horizontal, is it just the boss of a bull fork?
Then he stretched his waist and said, "Okay, the task is complete, the cold wind has been blowing for several days, it's time to find a girl's quilt to be chic." ”
The section chief grabbed the cloth roll in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, there was a familiar fragrance from it, and then carefully stuffed the cloth roll into his arms, pressed it from the outside, and then turned around and walked back.
"Wait. Mr. Hei suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't forget to remind your boss to pay attention to the performance of the contract." ”
The section chief sneered and said, "Don't worry, there won't be anyone in this world who is more contract-abiding than our company." ”
Then he returned to the group, turned on his horse, tightened the reins, spun in circles, and left the place as fast as he could.
Mr. Hei stood motionless for a long time, until the sound of horses' hooves in the dark night gradually disappeared, and at this time, another person came out of the ruins, he looked in the direction where the Maple Leaf Danlin Coalition Knight left, and said worriedly: "I hope we are right to do this." ”
Mr. Black patted him on the shoulder and said, "All of them are for our great Semites." ”
Eighteen rì, before dawn, the sound of drums and trumpets sounded in Warburg.
The officers kicked their whistles and kicked the soldiers out of the barracks, shouting, "Assemble, get ready to go." ”
"Put away your lazy bones, we're going to beat up the demons. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late, the demons have all been killed by the Rumans. ”
The Maple Leaf Danlin coalition army quickly gathered, drove out of Warburg in the morning light, and strode westward. (To be continued.) )
