Chapter 1275: The Siege (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Outside, outside, Casmonia was defeated, and Commander Bowden was only spared~!"
"The peacekeepers suffered their first defeat, and the tide of the war turned in an instant. β
"They were all self-inflicted," said senior military experts, commenting on the three main factors in the defeat of Casmonlia. β
"The tyrant De Rossi still has a backhand, and the outcome is unknown...... The newsboys rushed into the crowd brandishing freshly baked morning newspapers and smelling of ink, shouting loudly and causing a rush from passers-by.
Because newspapers are so popular, often newsboys take the newspaper and can't go far before it all sells out.
And in the vast majority of cases, people who buy newspapers will be eager to read it immediately.
Everyone couldn't believe that the powerful peacekeeping force actually defeated a siege of Chapter 1275 (asking for a monthly ticket) in less than a month after the start of the war.
The Leiria peacekeeping operation, which was originally in control, has now become confusing, making it a little unclear.
At the same time, Lord Lorraine received a detailed battle report from the front.
Unlike the news published in the newspapers, Lorraine was presented with first-hand information from those who witnessed it.
"200,000 to 30,000, you can fight a unit and wipe out the whole army, talent~!" Chairman Leo's chubby round fingers nodded at the battle report, and mocked with disdain: "I used to know that these guys were incompetent, but I always thought that no matter how incompetent they were, there had to be a limit."
Unexpectedly, these guys are so geniuses that they can repeatedly refresh their lower limits.
Is...... That's enough.
With such a bunch of pig-like teammates, it's a fart fight~!"
Lorraine tapped his fingers on the table, looked at him sternly, and said, "Leo, be careful when you speak." Don't insult the pig casually. They are also dignified.
Leo couldn't help but be stunned, then held his stomach with his hands, laughed, and said in admiration: "Haha." Boss, haha, it's still your mouth poisonous, hahaha......"
Lorraine glanced at him. shrugged his shoulders and said, "My Chapter 1275 siege (asking for a monthly pass) is just seeking truth from facts. β
He paused, then looked at the military map of Leiria on the table, and then moved his finger on the map little by little, looking for the battlefield at that time.
Finally, the fingertips stopped on an inconspicuous small plain - although there was a big gap from the standardized military maps of later generations, they could basically mark the general situation. Find a location. Knowing the terrain is nothing too laborious.
He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the terrain of the plain.
I saw that the plain was flat, there were no peaks and valleys, and at best there were only small mounds. It is not easy to hide a raiding force in these places without being discovered.
It not only requires commanders to have strong leadership and organizational skills and adaptability. It also requires soldiers to have a strong sense of obedience and tolerance for harsh environments.
In addition to this, judging by the situation of the battle. They also have extremely powerful attacks.
And all the armies that can do this are all elite divisions that have experienced a hundred battles.
On the mainland, there are only a handful of armies like this.
Even with a general like the lord with a command power of up to 99. Among the most elite puppies under his command, there are only one or two that can do this.
And at most, it can only last for two days.
After two days, the psychological tolerance of those puppies will drop significantly, and then they will start stealing chickens and dogs and harassing the place.
It seems that he is too indulgent to those dogs~! The lord thought of this, gritted his teeth a little, and then made up his mind. I'll have to give them some more training when I go back.
At the same time, he became more curious about the sudden reinforcements. That army had come long distances, and as soon as it arrived, it was immediately thrown into battle. It's really the best of the best.
He knocked on the table and muttered, "Where did this support army of De Rossi come from?"
Chairman Leo scratched his head in annoyance. "Yes." I'm also very weird. Such armies are all double-flowered red stick level. Who's going to give them to that guy De Rossi?"
As he spoke, his tone changed, he stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Those Casmonians are too stupid.
After such a battle, I was stunned that I didn't even capture a single prisoner. Otherwise, you can get some news.
Rice bucket, the best of rice bucket~!"
Lorraine shook her head regretfully.
The battle report clearly tells the story of the whole battle.
Casmonlia's army marched at night, and the whole army was paralyzed and negligent by the victory.
The Marquis of Berdon actually swaggered out a long line in the enemy-occupied area.
Then the pups were cupped.
In the early hours of the morning, they were attacked by an unidentified army.
The Marquis of Beard later concluded that the army was not from Leiria, nor from the rest of the peacekeeping force.
Because this army is really ...... It's amazing.
Isn't this pointing at the nose and scolding the coalition forces for all rice buckets?
Therefore, as soon as his words came out, the generals of the coalition army immediately scolded him.
But the Marquis of Berdon gritted his teeth and did not let go. It's just a sentence: "It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy army is too powerful." β
The more this happened, the more everyone believed that it was the Marquis of Bowden who shirked the responsibility for the defeat, so he exaggerated the strength of the enemy to cover up his own defeat.
The Marquis of Beard did not know who the other party was, nor how many people there were, but said that he was no less than him.
At that time, the opposing side crushed the Kasmonlian army with a single charge.
At the critical moment, the Marquis of Beard decisively sent the armored knights that the Kingdom of Casmonia was proud of.
But to his amazement, his full squad of armored knights was like crashing into a granite mountain, and without even a single wave, it was surrounded and drowned by the opposing infantry.
The heavy cavalry that had lost their shock power was inferior to a militia, and the infantry could easily dismount them from their horses and watch them struggle on the ground like turtles with their backs upside down.
After seeing the most elite armored knights wiped out, Marquis Beard fled decisively, without even the slightest hesitation, the reason why he was able to dominate the battlefield for decades was that the soles of his feet were oiled.
The battlefield was in chaos, and at night, there were Kasmonians fleeing everywhere. So much so that the enemy simply did not have time to look for the position of the commander of Casmonlia.
Buldon was given a chance to escape.
However, when the Marquis of Berdon fled to the rear all night, there were only more than eighty people left in the count.
At its peak, it reached 20,000 Kasmonlia peacekeepers, and it was truly annihilated.
It is said that the old tears of the Marquis of Berry came down at that time. If it weren't for the pain of cutting his neck, he would have pulled out his sword and committed suicide.
Of course, the news of the defeat could not be concealed, and when it was transmitted back to the United Nations, it caused an uproar.
The staff re-enacted the sand table based on the battle report, and unanimously concluded that either Beard was lying, or had miscalculated Leiria's intelligence.
De Rossi had at least 50,000 or so men at his disposal.
According to deduction, even the elite legions of the Ruman Empire, in the same situation. If you want to charge and crush the Kasmonian army, you need twice as many people as the other side.
The General Staff did not expect that Beard's subordinates were not 10,000, but 20,000.
This kind of thing, even if you win, you are embarrassed to talk about it. Not to mention the defeat.
No matter how stupid the Marquis of Beard is, he will not be shy enough to tell this secret.
Even Leo couldn't help but laugh at Casmonia's stubborn slate. He ridiculed them and said, "What age is it, still on the heavy cavalry? Only the idiots of the Duchy of Ripoll would choose to hedge against the heavy cavalry."
Do they think it was 600 years ago?"
In this era when the army is becoming more and more professional, the living space of heavy cavalry is getting smaller and smaller. At the same time, the high cost and difficulty of training are not directly proportional to their combat effectiveness.
Only small and medium-sized countries would choose such flashy professional knights.
One comes. Sao bag. The bright armor can frighten the dead people who can't read big characters.
Second, monopoly. The high cost makes it impossible for ordinary people to enter the army. In this way, the nobles could firmly control the military power in their own hands.
Three, save your life. After all, compared to the armor of ordinary soldiers, the defensive power of heavy armor is much higher, and it is not easy to be killed by people when hiding inside.
Leo also gritted his teeth and looked at the battle report. You know, the Eagle Company has already contracted all the projects in the Kingdom of Leiria. If this battle ends one day later, he will make money one day later.
These losses are calculated alone, as well as the interest accrued as a result of the losses. Second Master Lei felt a little painful.
However, then he rolled his eyes, suddenly slapped the table and laughed, and said: "This De Rossi is quite fateful, every time I think he is going to be unlucky, but he can always turn the tables." β
Lorraine couldn't help but laugh dumbly. De Rossi's successful coup d'Γ©tat usurped the throne and made BelΓ©m and the venture capital firm's professional intelligence analysts very faceless.
Until now, they have been studying how De Rossi fought back and won in one fell swoop.
"I think this kid is a character," Chairman Leo held his stomach with both hands and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that these amateur hooligans won't be able to kill him, boss, do you want to go into battle in person?"
Letting De Rossi be so arrogant will hinder your prestige, boss. β
Lorraine shook his head decisively and said, "I'm not interested, just to teach them to turn right, I'm afraid it will take three months." Leading this awesome fool will only pull down our IQ and level,
If you really want to kill De Rossi, it is enough to have a regiment of the security army. But we're eye-catching enough to stop hating ourselves. β
"Also, if nothing else, Russell's old immortal eye is still staring at us. Chairman Leo nodded, then sighed faintly, and said: "Alas, it's a pity, if Leiria doesn't recover one day, our group's contract will not be able to be fulfilled, and every minute is money." β
If it were not in the name of the United Nations, it would arouse the strong indignation of the international community, not to mention that Lorraine is now in the midst of a state of obscurity, so he is naturally unwilling to take such a chance.
"I said you two, don't discuss international affairs all day, come out and eat watermelon, chilled. Adling bangbang knocked on the door twice, shook his head at the two people, and said, "We are betting that Xiaobai can eat a few, do you want to participate." β
"Yes," Leo jumped out of his chair and rushed out the door cheerfully, shouting, "Wait for me, bet or something." I liked it the most. β
Lorraine picked up the battle report and threw it into the garbage basket, clapped his hands and said, "Let the headache go." β
In the Maple Leaf Danlin, unlike the relaxation of Nai'an, the atmosphere at the United Nations was very tense.
Lester was very annoyed by Casmonlia's defeat. This is simply smearing the face of him, the president of the United Nations, and slapping his old face.
The dignified United Nations peacekeeping force, with more than 200,000 troops, was actually defeated by a small role like Leiria.
, even if you put 200,000 pigs away, it has already arched the ground of Leiria in such a long time.
What annoyed Chairman Lester even more. There are already people who complain about the command of the United Nations and doubt that they will be able to win the battle.
It's been a month, and the war against the barbarians in the north of the Ruman Empire has begun to end and withdraw, bringing together the United Nations of all the countries on the continent, but it can't even take a small Leiria that spans no more than five hundred miles, and it is still hanging around the border.
The only deep Kasmonlia was cleanly wiped out.
How does the United Nations command and coordinate?
For Chairman Lester, it's good to lose anything, but you can't lose face.
Under the irritation. Chairman Lester gave strong instructions.
If the peacekeepers continue to drag on like this, he will forbid the curse of His Excellency the Magister and copy it himself.
The Maple Leaf Danlin people are alone in an army, and it is still easy to bulldoze Leiria.
But until then. Everyone who ate Leiria vomited it out for him, and everyone who took Leiria had to return it to him.
They will go back and forth from wherever they are, and they will not want to take a penny with them.
The ultimatum is given for one month.
A month later, before Leiria was taken, they all got out, and the United Nations took over the place.
The old rascal spoke, and everyone had to weigh the consequences carefully.
If it really develops to the point that the United Nations will take over, all their early investment will be wasted, and the leaders of the participating countries will not let them go.
The kings could not resist the pressure of the United Nations, and it was still okay to use these generals as scapegoats.
Especially the army that suddenly rose up in Leiria, and they can completely annihilate Kasmonya today. Tomorrow you can wipe out Borena or Thalassa.
Under the crisis and pressure, the peacekeepers reluctantly joined forces, spontaneously formed coalition forces ranging in numbers ranging from 35,000, and marched into Leiria step by step.
The intelligence and construction of the General Staff finally came to the attention of the generals at this time.
The war is finally starting to pick up.
As the coalition forces advanced steadily, after five days, they had reached a distance of a hundred kilometers from the capital of Leiria, Ryde.
And at this time. The Leiria army changed its past decline and put up fierce resistance relying on the passes and cities.
None of the peacekeepers wanted to gnaw on this kind of hard bones, and although the war was progressing, the progress was slow, and the peacekeepers captured a pass in three days, took a city in five days, and slowly approached Ryder.
Despite Casmonia's withdrawal from the coalition forces, the peacekeepers still numbered 1780,000 troops, and with sheer numerical superiority, Leiria retreated.
In mid-August, when the Sinavian army attacked a pass outside Clyde and appeared under Ryder, the fighting suddenly became fierce.
The other troops were like taking aphrodisiacs, changing their previous cowering and procrastinating, and rushed forward regardless of losses.
No one wants Ryder City to be taken advantage of by a country.
Within a few days, a fierce army of more than 100,000 troops surrounded Ryder City from all sides.
It was the hottest season of the year, and when everyone thought that the peacekeepers were going to storm Ryde, take Leiria and capture De Rossi in one fell swoop, the coalition forces stopped under the city.
Because of the siege, the atmosphere in Ryder City is unprecedentedly tense.
Wartime control was imposed in the city, and soldiers were stationed at every intersection, and no one was allowed to go out at night, and anyone who was found was immediately arrested.
The sound of drums and trumpets could be clearly heard from outside the city, and a major battle seemed inevitable.
Even during the day, if it is not necessary, everyone will hide at home and dare not go out.
The supply of goods in the city suddenly became tight, and the price of flour was the same as that of gold.
No matter how bold Julie is, she doesn't dare to take a step out of the house at this time, and the people at the intelligence station are all hiding in the basement, and only two agents who speak the Ryder dialect well go out from time to time to find out the news.
This tense and oppressive atmosphere was very unsettling to Julie, who would often climb up to the attic and look out the street through the narrow windows because she had nothing to do.
Now only soldiers are left on the streets, and from time to time a group of soldiers walks by in a cart.
A group of soldiers suddenly came out of the ranks, and they drove two carts into the alley.
Julie instantly tensed.
I saw them stop in front of the first grain and oil store at the entrance of the alley, and slammed the door rudely.
As soon as the door of the shop opened, the soldiers pushed and squeezed in, and a dozen people rushed into the small shop together.
Julie remembers that the owners were a husband and wife with three children who were not too old, the youngest of whom could not walk.
A few minutes later, the soldiers removed bags full of food from the shop and threw them on the carts.
Julie couldn't hear what they were saying, and the owner of the grain and oil store circled around the soldiers, trying to stop them from carrying his food.
Several soldiers dragged him out of the crowd, pushed him to the ground, punched and kicked him, and then pushed the cart to the next house.
The boss's wife ran out of the room, picked up the fallen boss and walked back to the room.
This is the door that these soldiers have kicked open the door of the second house.
Kobils walked up to the attic and glanced out the window.
"What is the soldier doing?" asked Julie, puzzled.
Cobils sighed and said, "Collect grain." The city was besieged, and the army had to collect food from the people.
It seems that De Rossi is ready to hold on, and the news will have to get out in the evening. β
Julie said angrily: "How can they do this, this is a robbery~!"
"That's what war is all about. Corbils said flatly: "No one will be held accountable for any crime on the battlefield, let's go, it's time to go down, you have to hide." β
"Me?" Julie said puzzled, "It's not necessary, right?"
Kobils shook his head with a smile and said, "You are a girl, and you are still a well-known reporter in the mainland." Be careful. β
"Oh well. Julie pouted dissatisfiedly and reluctantly agreed.
Following Kobils into the basement, the agent removed a few stones from the ground, pulled open the plank, revealing a narrow hole, and then gentlemanly reached out to Julie and smiled, "Lady first." β
Julie pouted and descended the ladder into the hole, followed by several agents dodging in.
The cave is cramped and stuffy, so it's no wonder Julie doesn't like it. Especially in the summer, it doesn't take long for sweat to soak through the clothes.
After staying up for I don't know how long, Julie suddenly heard the voice of someone talking overhead.
Several soldiers shouted a few words, and then went out with the contents of the basement.
When the footsteps disappeared, Julie couldn't help but whisper: "The peacekeepers have been besieging the city for several days, why haven't they come in?"
Kobils sneered and said, "Those guys, they won't do it without discussing the distribution of the spoils, but it is estimated that it will be soon, and they will be free after a few more days." β
"Alas," Julie sighed and muttered, "I don't know how many levels my job title should be when I get home...... rq!!
