494.Chapter 494: The Dark Elves' Divisional Strategy
That's it, in the end, the emperor was also able to get his wish and reach any kind of agreement with the Hereford family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but it is natural to think about it.
And, at least they have something to comfort themselves with, too. The self-reassuring thing is that the Herefords, while not going to be their reinforcements, are at least not their enemies.
Over time, the war between the Dark Elves and the Herefords, the Carpathian Kingdom, the Lombard States, the Kingdom of Asturias, the Papal Alliance, and the Ottoman Dark Elves, and their Berber vassals, has escalated again.
The Berber pirates, and the Dark Elves' Blue Sea fleet, have been fought against the Maltese knights, as well as the Lombard states, and the Azure Sea fleet of Asturias. Every day hundreds of warships enter and leave the port, every day there is a war of dozens of warships, every day hundreds of sailors, pirates, crews and sailors die, and a large number of ships are sunk.
After a period of silence, the azure sea ushered in a rather lively time.
And with the decisive battle of the main fleets of the two sides about to begin, the blue sea will surely be more "lively".
At the same time, the war between the Grand Duchy of Romania and the Carpathian Kingdom gave some historical examples of the anti-Ottoman alliances.
Two neighboring countries that have had a lot of friction in history, after the start of the Dark Elf War, the mood has been heating up. In this case, William threw out the means of annexing the Grand Duchy of Romania and distributing it among the combatants as a trophy and a symbol of unity of the alliance.
After this, the Carpathians, who thought they had won and were in the camp of the victors, could not bear it anymore.
Concealing their movements and intentions, they launched an attack on the Romanians and dragged the alliance into the quagmire as they wished. In the face of the Carpathian invasion, the Romanians made the decision to take refuge in the Ottoman dark elves.
The inner line of warfare was beneficial to the dark elves, and without much thought, the female Sudan agreed to "aid" Romania, and by the way, the order to turn this unruly vassal from the beginning to the end into a part of her own empire.
Along with this order, there were a total of three legions, an army of nearly 50,000. Among them, the number of elite troops of the dark elves exceeded five thousand. This army, combined with the tenacious and tenacious mountain troops of the Grand Duchy of Romania, was enough to form a formidable military force to destroy the Carpathian Kingdom, and to make matters worse, the Carpathian Kingdom remained in Romania until now, and they were fighting on the outside.
"These idiots, even if they're all dead, you can't blame me. William couldn't help but sigh after getting this series of news.
What is it and what is it. Those bastards, idiots, idiots, completely messed up their whole plan. He also said that Romania would become a bridgehead for the attack of the Ottoman Empire, and he would strike first to be stronger. If they hadn't beaten them, how could the Romanians, who were desperate to maintain their independence, bring in the Dark Elves?
William was unhappy, because the possibility of erosion on the Carpathian battlefield was too great, so the little pleasure he had just gained from fighting for the city of Kyiv was consumed in an instant.
What a tragedy, what a tragedy. Why is his life so miserable? His teammates are all pigs, and they are also a group of pigs who are fighting for power and profit internally, who have bad intentions for their teammates, want to take advantage of them, and imagine others to be as stupid as themselves.
What's worse is that I can't ignore those idiots.
If the Carpathian Kingdom is completely defeated, then the army of the Dark Elves can enter and leave the Balkans at will, and then use this as a springboard to attack the hinterland of the Wende Kingdom north. In this way, the core, largest and richest territory of the Hereford family will be completely exposed to the attack range of those bastards.
This is something that William could never allow under any circumstances.
"That is, in any case, we are going to help the Carpathians. William thought to himself, and then he had to make an adjustment - he ordered his aunt Freya, who was also the only new general he had ever had to command one aspect of military operations.
"Then, from today onwards, you will be a true Legion Commander. After saying this, William handed over the entire Third Legion to Freya, and ordered her to lead the Legion's tens of thousands of troops to the Carpathian Kingdom to help the bastards stabilize the situation there.
"It's a very tough task, it's a very difficult one. William calmly said to her, "The hardship and hardship are not only because of the 50,000 troops of the dark elves, but also because of the Carpathians, who think highly of themselves.
We have made a pact with them, and although we seem to have a good relationship on the surface, this is only a superficial appearance. ”
When talking about these things, William's expression was calm, and there was a hint of contempt in his serious tone: "These guys are like casual frivolous women. The only expectation is to be a good man, to provide them with enough material comforts, as well as protection, and they can be the guy's woman.
Before that, it was the Swabian family who provided them with all this, that is, Emperor Kalman IV.
Now, Kalman IV is unreliable, so they instantly forget the kindness of Kalman IV who provided them with shelter and help before, and almost did not hesitate to prepare to throw themselves into the arms of the Hereford family.
Guys like this are completely untrustworthy. ”
William spoke calmly, and then said the following to his aunt Freya.
It is precisely because these Carpathians are unreliable that this task is particularly difficult. Not only do you have to face a frontal attack from the Dark Elves, but you also have to watch out for the Carpathians, who don't use the Hereford army's army as cannon fodder, or simply sell them all. Although the Carpathians and the dark elves are as deep as the sea. But William did not believe that hatred could drive a nation.
The ultimate root cause and driving force that drives a country must be interests.
If the Carpathians understood that it was more advantageous to cooperate with the Dark Elves and become part of the Ottoman Empire than to fight against them, then those guys might not hesitate to join the Dark Elves.
In this unfavorable situation, Freya and the Third Legion must also defend against the attack of the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time, they must also show the power of the Hereford family to those Carpathian "watery poplar nobles", so that they can become allies of the Hereford family in a proper manner, and provide enough benefits, power and markets for the family.
This can be said to be a very difficult challenge. After William said all this, Freya's face became rather ugly. Although before this, Freya also fantasized that she could be in charge alone, she could become the supreme commander of the front army, and then fight a large number of enemies on a certain battlefield to control her fate or something.
But as soon as she came up, it was a bit of a bit to give her such a difficult script.
"I know it's a bit of a struggle. After saying that, William sighed, and then said to Freya: "But, the problem is, I don't have anyone to trust. I really can't think of anyone else who can take on this responsibility but you. Freya. ”
Before that, William had either addressed her as Lord Duke or, more affectionately, as his aunt. Never before was she called by her name as it is today.
And of course, after hearing William's call, Freya's blood suddenly got carried away.
"I understand, everything in the Carpathians is left to me. Freya said very seriously. And then, William hints that if things don't go right, her life is the most important goal. It is possible to abandon the task, the Carpathian Kingdom, and even a Janissary legion. But make sure you come back safe and sound.
In this way, Freya was very moved and left with a sense of mission and responsibility. At the same time there was also a legion leaving.
William sighed secretly. Although he also knew that it was not good to do so. But at least for now, he couldn't think of a better tactic.
For Freya, his expectations were not very high. The main reason why I talked to her so much was because I was afraid that she would be bold and pull a legion to fight a decisive battle with the dark elves. If he dies too much, William will be heartbroken. After all, these Praetorian Guard units are their own treasures.
"My prestige has almost accumulated. As long as the dark elves are defeated again, then I can easily send those officers and formally appoint the commanders of the various legions. and the expansion of the army...... That way, there wouldn't be anything like today. William said secretly in his heart.
That's it, the arrangements for the war on the Carpathian side are over. William's goal for Freya was to ensure that the Carpathians would not surrender before he could defeat the main force of the Dark Elves. Be cautious and focus on preserving strength.
I believe that with Phraya's ability, if you don't seek merit but no fault, there should be no problem.
"Then, then, it's my job. William thought to himself, and at the same time began to think - his army was only a little more than three days away from the city of Kyiv, and it would soon be there. At the same time, a large group of steppe cavalry, already deployed from the Cuman-Kipchak steppe, began to guard the Hereford family's logistical supply routes.
The reason for this was that the fighting in the Cuman-Kipchak steppes had come to an end, and it was enough to maintain the suppression of the dark elves without wanting to devote more resources to the steppes. I'm sure the dark elves think so too.
William had not heard of any movement of the Dark Elves in the direction of the Cuman-Kipchak steppe in recent times.
It is believed that the Dark Elves' female Sudan Fatima is the same as she thinks.
Frontal, decisive battle, main battle. As long as you can defeat yourself, then all other defeats on the battlefield are temporary. All retreats, concessions, and lost benefits can be regained.
But if you lose a head-to-head battle, then it is meaningless to win several times in other battles. It's as if there are countless zeros that have accumulated and the all-important one is missing.
