Chapter 121: The Sikh War
In this way, under William's manipulation, the army that went south to Maratha began to attack this Maratha with a long history, but in fact it was useless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As if Nian had said, the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire, dressed in Mughal uniforms and marching at breakneck speed with the help of Mughal guides.
Compared to the Russian Gothic Empire, the Mughals were more enthusiastic and looking forward to the war. Even though they are actually mired in another war.
That is, their war with the Britonic expeditionary force.
They will join the war as allies of the Marathas, as well as enemies of the Marathas.
It may sound ridiculous, but it's actually quite normal – at least to Wilhelm von Hereford.
All this, both as enemies and allies, was, in fact, in the interests of the Russian Gothic Empire.
If you look at the essence through the phenomenon, then everything that makes people feel strange and confused can get a satisfactory answer. It's like this.
The Marathas were somewhat overwhelmed by a new invader, the Mughals.
Although confused and like most of the rulers of the Middle Ages, they don't pay much attention to espionage work or anything. However, because the Marathas are the head snakes, they still have a relatively good advantage in terms of intelligence. They have long known one thing, and that is that the Mughals should theoretically not have the time to take care of themselves.
Because the Mughals also had to face the attack of the Britons. They should be the same as themselves, very embarrassed, almost unable to support it.
I don't know why. All in all, because of a series of "military operations" in the early stage, the Marathas always had an inexplicable sense of superiority over their original masters, that is, the Mughals. I always feel that my combat power is above that of the Mughals. Completely forgetting how exactly their "victory" over the Mughals came about.
It's also nice to think about. There are quite a few people with lofty ideals in Maratha who are even worried. If the Mughals were the first to be wiped out by the Briton invaders, then the Marathas would have to face a two-front attack, in which case it would be difficult for the Marathas to hold on.
However, in this case, reality beats the maratha groin hard.
The Mughals happily launched an attack south. They happily conquered the city, and in a very short time occupied large areas of rich territories with few garrisons and few troops.
This made the people of Maratha very flustered. In the midst of this panic, these Marathas even did something that made people feel very eager to hehe-
That is, they sent emissaries and protested to the Breton expeditionary force that they had not done their duty to crucify the Mughals so that they could still attack the great Marathas.
After receiving the righteous words of the messenger to protest, these Breton expeditionary forces found it inexplicable, and what a joke, right?
You're protesting that we're not doing our duty? Do you really think you're the center of the universe? It's strange.
It was when these Breton expeditionary forces were about to beat up these messengers and throw them back that Victoria, who had received the news, sensed that something was wrong.
Why? The Marathas are all comics, there's no doubt about that, but why would they say such things?
She immediately gave the order to ask, asking the commanders of the legions attacking the Mughal front what the situation was at the front. And the front-line commander also gave a not too good nor a bad answer, but an absolutely positive answer.
That's that they're making steady progress. Both sides have assembled heavy troop clusters, and all kinds of tragic battles are constantly being staged, hoping to get additional supplies from the general headquarters, as well as support and weapons and equipment.
After getting the news, Victoria felt a little strange.
If neither side is lying, but the Marathas and his regimental commander on the Mughal front, then there are only two explanations for the matter.
One was that the Mughals were actually stronger than she thought, and even after losing a lot of troops, they were able to draw a sizable force against the Marathas when they were engaged in a battle with the mighty Briton Expeditionary Force.
And the second possibility is another powerful counter-income bureau. They disguised themselves as Mughal armies and even gained the support of the Mughals to a certain extent, that is.
"It's really unthinkable, such a method can be thought of by you, it is really worthy of my brother.
However, you must not have imagined that your enemies can be so stupid and stubborn. It caused me a little bit of trouble, but it gave me a chance to win. Hum hum hum ......heh heha
That's it, just after learning the news, after Victoria's initial surprise and strangeness, she couldn't suppress the "ahahahaha" wild laughter, a way that was not insidious and vicious, and could even be said to be a little unbelievable, even crying and laughing, was formed in her lovely brain.
If it is against normal countries and enemies, then she believes that such methods and tactics will never work, they will weigh the pros and cons, will think, and be cautious of any information and intelligence from the enemy. Not to mention the proposal.
However, when her opponents were these Marathas, things were different.
Victoria believes that this will set her chances of victory and will be her best chance to unify the entire Indian subcontinent.
"And it is so, my dear brother, how will you feel when you understand this? I can scarcely wait to see your panicked face. ”
After that, there was another series of "ahhahahaha" laughs, as if crazy.
Under normal circumstances, Victoria's laughter would have attracted the attention of many people, who would have wondered if there was something wrong with their commander-in-chief's spirit.
But now it's different. Completely different and completely different. There had been several similar experiences before, and those guys, no matter how much credit they had before this, and how high their status was, had been killed by Victoria without hesitation and without mercy.
Victoria is such a character, such a fearsome, terrifying, terrifying, even mad warrior. There was no forgiveness or mercy in her dictionary - of course, if you were to ask her anything like that, she would tell you that it was all because of her dear brother, Wilhelm von Hereford.
The pressure he put on her was just too great.
"So, no matter what, I'm going to beat you. After an irrepressible burst of laughter, Victoria had an eerie expression, and after that, as if swearing, she said something like this.
And the person she is talking to is of course not here, but thousands of kilometers away in the northeastern part of India, where William von Hereford is currently stationed. The nearest barracks to the front line.
William, who is now approaching thirty years old, still retains his usual good habit of being close to the front line when directing operations. In this way, his information can be grasped clearly in the shortest possible time. It's the same now.
And in addition, this proximity to the front line will naturally boost the morale and desire of the front-line fighters. It's one of William's favorite things to do, and it's not expensive.
However. For the time being, the army on which he had high hopes has not been won, as he had hoped, as in any war.
"Why hasn't there been a breakthrough yet. William's voice was impatient: "Haven't you already sent the 6th Cavalry Artillery Regiment there? The other side is relying on nothing more than a small ditch, does this make our heroic Cossack warriors retreat?"
The words and duties of Kaiser Wilhelm were not fulfilled by any nobleman, officer or general. All of them just buried their already low heads even lower.
If you are scolded twice, you can scold twice. If you are scolded twice, you won't die, and if you say something bold and then be thrown to the front line to be cannon fodder, then you are called unlucky.
Seeing the bastard appearance of this group of combat staff officers and officers. William was even more angry - he shouted angrily, "The other side is nothing but a group of natives! The mighty army of the Russian Gothic Empire can win at any time, and you promise me this, don't you?!Why?!Why don't you say anything now?!"
Of course, these people still can't say anything.
If you can't say it, you can't say it, but all of them haven't stopped secretly slandering in their hearts.
Yes, it is true, the great army of the Russian Gothic Empire is invincible.
The question is, is it really the great army of the Empire that is now on the front line?
Now William had six legions at his disposal, an army of nearly 150,000. But among them, the great army of the Russian Gothic Empire was only two cavalry regiments. That is, two legions adapted from the Steppe Legion. These two legions lacked heavy firepower and infantry - of course, even then they were indeed an "elite force of the glorious Russian Gothic Empire", and in fact, the Empire's front had not yet collapsed, thanks to the help and resistance of these two corps.
If it weren't for their help, then a local Indian legion, two Afghan legions, a nomadic new annex legion, plus a Zoroastrian legion...... The ragtag army of these miscellaneous cards may have already been defeated by the Sikh army on the opposite side. (To be continued.) )
