Chapter 122: Mired in the Quagmire

"What a bastard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After scolding like this twice, barely venting, William also calmed down, and then began to think.

Obviously, not to mention swearing, even if it is to kill these bastard staff officers and generals in front of him, it is useless to kill all the officers. It's all a jerk-

He regretted it a little now......

Yes, the expeditionary force does have elite soldiers. Two Janissaries of the Russian Gothic Empire, two Army Corpses of the Reich - both of which were fully manned, with large-caliber army artillery, and elite units of elite cavalry units.

In addition, the Ottoman Empire from the south and the two legions from the Eastern Mandate were also elite. Plus four Cossack brigades and two more cavalry regiments, converted from the steppe corps. William's expeditionary force had eight legions and four cavalry brigades. The total number is close to 200,000 -

However, the problem is that such an extremely elite army was almost all placed on the southern front by him. Half of them, led by his aunt Freya, are fighting to the death against the elite forces of the Britons. The other half of the troops, under William's orders, split into three routes, attacked from the coast of the Maratha Federation, and are currently annexing the territory of the Marathas at an unimaginable speed.

Therefore, he only has a few miscellaneous legions under his command, and two cavalry legions without heavy firepower......

William had thought that this was enough, enough. With his excellent command ability, coupled with the fact that he was fighting against the indigenous people of India, such a backward and ignorant army, if he had failed, then ......

Well, what he said before, William felt that he was probably going to swallow it back, although it is not a good thing to break his word and get fat, but now there is no way. It's true, it's true, why can't the world be a little more considerate of itself?

The Sikh army on the other side was based on the belief in the Sikh religion that advocated force, and the main part of its constituent parts were all homesteaders who had been allocated land, and their will to fight was quite high.

Although, at the moment, their channels for buying weapons from kind and kind people are almost closed. But another group of gracious and kind bastards from the Briton Islands filled the void.

Under the conditions of this series, the Sikh Maharaja Ranjit has an elite army that can really fight.

Most of their quality and training were not very good, and they were even slightly inferior to Zoroaster, which already had a large number of officers and instructors of the Russian Gothic Empire.

But their vigorous morale and their desire to fight made up for it.

These bastards have a very high desire to fight. It's unimaginably high.

In the wars that preceded this, it was these bastards who, behind an "inconspicuous little ditch", held back the great armies of the Russian Gothic Empire. At the same time, two other Sikh armies took the opportunity to attack the Indian and Afghan armies.

The Afghan army was poorly armed but morale was good, and with the help of the officers and staff of the Russian Gothic Empire, it was also desirable to command. In this case, the Afghan army successfully interdicted.

The Indians, however, were not so lucky. William had high hopes for these Indians. He hoped that these obedient and obedient Indian slaves would be able to help them die well and obediently.

The reality is, however, he failed to do that.

These guys are really well-behaved, obedient in whatever they do, and as long as they respect their faith, which is Hindiism, then it doesn't matter if they are abused. But when it comes to fighting, these guys who are very kind and simple, and whose combat effectiveness is unimaginably large, can only help.

Faced with the elite assault forces of the Sikhs, as well as the cavalry strength of the Sikhs, these Indians were almost crushed at the touch of a button. In the words of the officers of the Russian Gothic Empire who survived and saw the scene: "These guys are as fragile as if they were made of tofu." It is hard to imagine that they once created a brilliant civilization in ancient times.

If this is true, then it must be the most unacceptable joke ever made by the Lord of Radiance. ”

In any case, the line of defense of the Indy Corps collapsed. After this, William had to transfer a steppe legion to weaken the army in front and strengthen his own flanks.

Although this strengthened its own defense, it saved the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire from the embarrassing situation of collapse on all fronts. But it weakened the offensive posture of the front.

With the other cavalry corps suffering heavy losses, William had to put his hopes of breaking through the enemy on the Nomad Legion and the Zoroastrian Legion.

However, it is a pity that these two legions did not live up to William's expectations.

Although William had already given them the best aid. Even the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, the most important cavalry artillery unit of the Cavalry Regiment, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the Sikhs, was transferred to their aid.

However, even so, they still couldn't break through "that little ditch".

Tens of thousands of Sikh soldiers, with their flesh and blood, firmly crucified the army of the Russian Gothic Empire on the west bank of the river.

"What a bastard. William said almost angrily.

-- He had almost no troops at his disposal, no reserves, no troops to deploy - and, of course, the fact that the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force had one of the greatest weapons that was not used, and that was Wilhelm von Hereford himself.

As the best knight in the world, William's breakthrough ability is almost equal to limitless. If William were to go to war, there would definitely be a welcome turn for the better in this stalemate battle. The Russian Gothic Empire will be victorious like never before.

William himself, however, did not want to do so - because, first of all, it was a regular, modern war. William didn't want to be a nanny for anyone, and he wanted to cultivate the independence of his soldiers. Otherwise, after a hundred years of William, the Russian Gothic Empire army, which had long been accustomed to breaking through the enemy and fighting safely under William's unparalleled strength, would definitely become corrupt and degenerate.

Another reason is that William thinks things haven't gotten to that point yet. William's own strength was strong, and the people around him knew it, but the group of Sikhs didn't know it. In addition to this, the vast majority of enemies on the South Asian subcontinent are unknown. William believes that his strength can be used as a trump card.

So, as a last resort, William didn't want to use this hole card.

In the end, and probably the most important reason, is fear and fear.

To put it more bluntly, I am afraid of death.

In any case, William was the emperor, the supreme ruler of one of the largest empires in the world, one of the most powerful countries. His life was precious, very, very precious, even if it was a little bit of oily skin.

Although William didn't think that the Sikhs on the other side could hurt him, and even William was very suspicious that except for those monsters in ancient times, which were said to have been annihilated in the long river of history, there was nothing in the whole world that could hurt him.

But what if, what if. What if there really is something in the Sikhs on the other side that can hurt, or even kill themselves?

It's very unlikely, but it's not really impossible.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are. Or rather, the more experienced guys look ahead. All in all, William is such a situation now.

William would never go to war unless he had to.

Uh-huh, that's it.

Since William will not go to war. William had no other reserves to go into battle. Then this war can only be helplessly stuck.

......

That is, while William felt very helpless, felt all kinds of unhappiness, felt resentment and felt that he wanted to kill, on the other side of him, in the camp of the Sikhs, the unhappy helplessness and resentment of the Lordsea Rankit must be more than him, and the feeling of wanting to kill must be deeper than him.

That's because, while William felt that his strategy and tactics had failed to succeed and suffered some losses, Lord Ranjit also thought the same, and even said that the degree was more serious than William.

While the army of the Russian Gothic Empire was "suffering heavy losses", the army of the Sikhs was truly suffering heavy losses. These Sikh armies were almost bloodied lines against the Russian Gothic Empire's onslaught. In the middle of that stream, the floating corpses had blocked the river, and the river had turned completely red.

At least two-thirds of it was Sikh blood, Sikh corpses.

And while attacking the flanks of the Russian Gothic Empire, the mountain infantry against Afghanistan also caused heavy casualties and memories of the Sikhs. These Afghan troops, if they are in vain, are by no means inferior to the Sikhs. Although the weapons and equipment are slightly inferior to those of the Sikhs, under the command of the officers of the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force, who are more familiar with modern warfare, these guys can exert the power of the guys in their hands by one hundred and twenty points.

On the other side, the battle against the Indians went well, and of course slaughtered an unknown number of Indians - however, for the Sikhs, killing the Indians and winning was not worth mentioning.

In the numerous wars in which the Maharajab of Punjab fought in the north and south, and established the cause of the Sikhs, they faced the Indians the most.

They are crushed at the first touch, their combat effectiveness is low, and even if they are defeated, there is nothing to boast about.
