626.Chapter 626: Fierce Battle
"It's terrible, it's terrible, why is this happening, are the Lords of Light on their side?"
Just when William felt excited about his brilliant future, felt that his life was worth it, that he would spend his life very happily, and that he had absolutely no regrets in this life. Pen & Fun & Cousin www.biquge.info his mother, Lady Maria, complained about it all in her room.
Defeated, defeated again. Super bad defeat.
I didn't expect to be defeated in this situation, but this is special, defeated.
Her army of 100,000 marched through the Strass fortress group, which had fallen into disrepair. In fact, it's pretty simple. Her army did not even lose much as a result - a hundred thousand. An army of 100,000 men came to the city, and it seemed that Paris could be breached, and this ridiculous, boring farce would be put to an end.
However. What he didn't expect at all was that things weren't as simple as he imagined.
War, war, war. Once again, the war was lost.
At a critical moment, the republic erupted with terrifyingly powerful combat power. In an instant, they mobilized an army of more than 100,000 men - it is said that in Paris, even teenagers were given a rifle - or at least a spear.
This army, under the terrible system and morale, managed to withstand the attack of the elite troops of Briton. Valuable time was bought for the republic.
The two main forces of the republic, north and south, rushed over almost like crazy after hearing the news.
In the process, the Lombards on the southern front, with the Asturian army, very coerced, or at least, very bastards, did not stop them.
They seem to have been frightened by the war during this time. Don't dare to pursue.
And on the Northern Front, in the face of the approach of the main army of the Britons. The republic left behind 30,000 post-break troops.
These troops held the line very heroically, and stubbornly blocked the advance of more than three times the elite troops.
These guys are coming and going, and there are huge numbers, and these guys are not afraid to die.
All in all, these guys laid the groundwork for the Republic's victory.
With the concentration of the main forces, and the support of the very, quite, and extremely enthusiastic revolutionary masses from other regions, the number of troops of the republic exceeded 300,000 in an instant. A total of 300,000 troops defeated the Breton army on the opposite side.
At that time, after seeing this, the soldiers, officers, and generals of the armies of the Britons - and of course the allies or vassals of the Britons, that is, the armies of the small states of the Ostrogothic Empire, all seemed to have gone crazy.
Anyway, ordinary soldiers, officers, and generals can't answer this kind of question.
A crazy army can only be fought against a crazy army, an army with faith can only be fought against an army with faith, and an army with ideals and doctrines can only be fought against an army with ideals and doctrines. It's a matter of course.
It was in this context that the army of the Britons collapsed. They wailed and fled like a bunch of little girls, and then they were chased by the red-eyed ones with excitement, and then they killed a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor behind.
And so it was, another round of the Breton offensive was declared a failure. Even then, when the 300,000 murderous troops of the Visigothic Republic marched to Normandy in the north, the Bretons had little to do to stop them.
Yes, because of the importance of Normandy, some fortresses and defenses were built here. However, these fortresses and defenses are actually of little use at all, bastard, because the Visigothic kingdom has been decaying and degrading more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the only thing the Bretons thought about every day was how to get more territory from the Visigothic kingdom, and they never imagined that the Visigoths would one day rise up and attack them. This is simply unreasonable!
However, such an unreasonable thing did happen in the end. This makes people can't help but feel the impermanence of the world, as well as ......
The reincarnation of fate.
-- and of course the most important thing now is what to do -- these defenses, like the Visigothic Strasbourg fortress group, are basically ineffective.
In this case, the four legions in Normandy, the 100,000-strong army, although there were a lot of them, but thinking about the battles before this, Madame Maria felt that there was no way.
"What a bastard, what a hate. It's really ......" In a short period of time, Ms. Maria couldn't think of too many curse words that could be said.
After all, it wasn't William who climbed up from the bottom of society. It's a guy who has received an aristocratic elite education as soon as he came up, and his vocabulary in this area is insufficient.
In this situation, the whole of Normandy is already a storm. A large number of rich people, rich merchants, and well-known people who had gathered in Normandy all took the boat to Briton as fast as they could. The rest of the fellows, the next one, are also getting ready, waiting for the boat, or by carriage, or by train, to Frostia.
But is Frisia really safe? It's not like Briton itself, with the dangers of the Briton Strait and the invincible defense of the Briton navy. It is connected to the Visigothic Republic by land.
When the time comes, the Visigothic Republic will apass, and I am afraid that my group will flee again.
In this case, many people even think a little far.
If this Visigothic republic is really capable of fighting, then will they fight the whole Old World in one go? And then there's Russia, the Gothic Empire.
Will they rise to become the new generation of human overlords, or even conquer the real world?
If it is said that in this case, some other country has shown such a majestic hegemonic atmosphere, it is impossible to say that there will be many people with lofty ideals who will instantly run to the past to take refuge. Although it is said that there is no such thing as learning to become a scholar and a martial artist in this world, there are indeed people who think so in this era.
However, this is not the case with the Visigothic Republic, which was originally founded by the Alchemists' League as a vest-like country, but now has a tendency to go berserk.
There, killing people seemed like a common thing. Revolutionary people kill those who are not revolutionary, very revolutionary people kill those who are not resolute in revolution, and super revolutionaries must kill even extraordinary people.
It's almost like a reverse knockout game. There will be nothing but revolution, revolution, revolution. The group of people instantly looked like a bunch of crazy people.
Now, though the power is held by a group of fellows called the Girondists - in fact, one of the vests of the Alchemist League - that is, a union of big merchants, big capitalists, and factory owners.
Although it is said that these guys hold power in the republic for the time being. But of course, these guys have been challenged enormously, and there is more than one group of people who think that these guys are "not revolutionary enough".
And the crime of "not revolutionary enough" is quite fatal in the republic.
Guillotine, guillotine, and, of course, guillotine. These things, which had been prepared for Louis XVI, his empress, his concubines, his children, his relatives and his ministers, could have killed any former revolutionary and the current opposition.
These guys from the Girondist Alchemist League have noticed this trend for now. They are doing everything they can to find allies for themselves. At the same time, they also hope to use the victory in this war to build momentum for themselves and increase their chips.
All this is controlled by the Cheka members. Some of the Cheka agents disguised themselves as the lowest level of the people - and then had a certain say -
Although it is said that these big figures of the revolution want each other to die. But when it comes to the little people, they are thoughtful one by one, as if they are really fighting for the interests of these little people.
It is precisely because of this that as long as you are a low-level guy, as long as you have not wishfully wanted to gain power and become a big man, then you can naturally have a certain right to speak. In a sense, this is also a kind of compensation.
Under these circumstances, the Cheka agents ran a newspaper extolling the revolution, which, in addition to the vague praise of the revolution, also somewhat mentioned the state of the present republic.
Of course, all this "state" was spoken in the capacity of impassioned revolutionaries - but it was precisely because of this that these propertied people, these aristocrats, when they heard such words, trembled, frightened, terribly frightened.
They would never have taken refuge in such a country under any circumstances. Even if they go there, it's useless. The revolutionaries who have burned their passions will kill them without hesitation or mercy.
Therefore, nowadays, "such a country is absolutely not allowed to exist" has once again become the consensus of all countries in the European continent.
More nobles, and even Ostrogothic nobles who were originally dissatisfied with the Britan rule of the Ostrogoths, also stopped fighting and protesting for a while, and temporarily compromised with the Britons.
Of course, this is of little use. At least, in the face of a surging army of 300,000 revolutionaries, all this was of little use to the defense of Normandy.
