601. Chapter 601: The War Continues

In this way, William stabilized the hearts with a beautiful raid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info makes those who are a little floating, think that the Hereford family's expeditionary force is nothing more than that. It seems that more of the benefits that can be obtained by going to the dark elves have been re-stabilized.

After observing the war, these guys quickly came to the conclusion that it was still the Hereford family that was stronger.

If this is the case, these fellows will naturally stand on the side of the victors and continue to fight faithfully for William until the death.

And so, the ensuing battle turned into a fierce but uninteresting war between the Dark Elves and the regular army of House Hereford.

At night, the Ottoman's Dark Elves will launch a fierce assault, ignoring the Hereford family's artillery and crude oil traps, and launching a night attack on the Hereford army. When daylight comes, the cavalry units of the Hereford family will also charge at the opposing army.

As before, artillery bombardment, followed by a charge with cavalry units. Then grind the enemy out completely.

Both sides have their own stunts, and each has its own tactics that can easily defeat the other.

At the same time, William also found that no matter how hard he tried, with the little force he had now, it was almost impossible to fight and win a night battle with the female Sudan Fatima.

And the female Sudan Fatima also found out. Even if the elite troops were deployed to defend in advance, it was difficult to defend against the cavalry assault of the Hereford family.

It is even said that the armies that launched defensive operations suffered heavy casualties.

Both sides have discovered their strengths and weaknesses and those of the other. In this case, the two sides made a series of tactical adjustments as a matter of course.

William's army occupied the day, while Fatima's army occupied the night. Both sides are able to attack each other for a period of time, gaining the upper hand.

In this way, the two sides alternate attack and defense with each other. Constantly deplete your own forces and those of your enemies.

In this kind of fighting, both William and Fatima were worried.

William's concern stemmed from the instability of the new annexed troops. As the war escalated, the number of casualties increased. These guys also constantly become impetuous, as well as not wanting to fight.

After all, for these guys, the army is their biggest capital, and if the army is gone, then they have to die.

At the same time, it is the same reason, that is, when the situation is evenly matched, the probability that the nomads of the new annex army will consider changing their courts is 50%.

In fact, William believed that if it weren't for his strict management of the army and the large number of overseers. Then whether it is when you are resting or when you are fighting, the number of bastards who secretly contact the dark elves and do not work hard in the battle will definitely increase little by little.

In fact, even so, William believes that the number of bastards like that will increase.

William already had the evidence, and several of the chiefs of the newly annexed army, the Little Khans, were secretly in contact with the Dark Elves. At present, William wants to use these guys to make a counter-encirclement that will be calculated in order to gain an advantage.

But at the same time, it also reminded William that those who had connections to the dark elves, had deals, and could betray themselves at any time and anywhere were definitely not the few who had the information he had.

There must be more people doing it, there must be more, more people wanting to do it, but not having the opportunity to do it.

So, that's what worries William. If the battle continues to stalemate, he will end up in a certain way—no, it should be said for sure, and it will definitely turn into a betrayal by the entire new annexed army, and finally defeat.

And for Fatima Sudan, her trouble is also that the battle cannot be dragged on for too long.

William had reinforcements from two legions, a thing she didn't know. Because the reinforcements came from the northern steppes, the land was sparsely populated, and the forces of the dark elves had never reached here.

However, Fatima also has something to worry about, and that is the mountainous Caucasus.

Fearing for the safety of his son and heir, Prince Otto continued to attack the area. The prince, who is over forty years old, is currently at the peak of his life. Whether it is force, combat effectiveness, command ability, or brain, it is all first-class good. William may not even be his opponent in terms of commanding ability.

With the hard work of this prince, the Caucasus defense line of Fatima's painstaking experience, although it cannot be said to be like paper paste, is actually about the same.

A large number of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are built in dangerous places, which can be said to be a matter of one man. The fortress, which was difficult to penetrate even with artillery, fell due to the fierce attack of Prince Otto.

Now it can be proved that he has become a "model", and it is very likely that Prince Otto, who has the world's most knightly exemplary combat power, is enough to sweep an army of thousands, or even tens of thousands, by himself.

With his strength, he was able to single-handedly break through small fortresses that were heavily garrisoned and had fewer than 1,000 defenders.

That's it. The defense line of the Caucasus Mountains can stop the centaurs, and even any enemy, but it can't stop a terrible enemy like Prince Otto.

More importantly, as William's railway network plan continued to improve, and as the army demanded, the railway network along the Cuman-Kipchak steppe became the highest priority. Master Leonardo, his engineering team, and tens of thousands of railroad workers worked almost day and night to build the railway. Now the railway line has extended to the north of the Caucasus Mountains, which greatly satisfies the problem of military supplies on the front line.

In this case, the loss of the Caucasus defense line is almost a certainty.

And this "loss" is not a momentary loss.

It would be better if the Centaurs of the Tartalya Khanate, once the Empire's greatest enemy, were brave and good at fighting, but they were not good at fighting in difficult terrain, especially in the mountains.

If the Caucasus Mountains defense loses to these guys, then the female Sudan still has some confidence that she can regain it.

However, she lost to Wilhelm von Hereford and his Russian-Gothic Empire.

It is a military power with a well-developed army of guns, infantry, cavalry and artillery. In addition, the cement of reform has strengthened the empire.

Despite his eagerness to save his son, Prince Otto did not lose his bearings. His astonishing strategic intuition and strategic observation are still in play.

As he continued to break through the opposing Caucasian defenses, he was also capturing and consolidating these areas, repurposing the captured small fortresses and defending them with cement, better artillery, and more elite soldiers.

Under these circumstances, the female Sudan Fatima believed that even if she had the strength of her country, she would never be able to retake the defense line of the Caucasus Mountains.

The line of defense changes hands. The offensive and defensive postures between empires will naturally be out of place. Although the rugged mountainous terrain of the Caucasus was not the best route to march, they could still gather tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of troops to cross the Caucasus Mountains and then move south to attack the hinterland of the empire, as long as the logistics were well supplied.

In this case, the Dark Elves will be overwhelmed.

Unlike the previous Tartalya Khanate, north of the Caucasus Mountains, there were large barren beaches and steppes, which had no strategic value.

To the south of the Caucasus Mountains was the most important Anatolian region of the Ottoman Empire, and the second most important region, although not yet conquered, the Nusudan Fatima had taken into its possession.

The Ottoman Empire fought from north to south, over the Caucasus Mountains, and for the dark elves, it was a thunderbolt from the blue, like a natural disaster.

Therefore, the female Sudan Fatima must deal with William as soon as possible and solve this battle as soon as possible.

And after settling this battle, the situation will not be as Fatima thought, declaring the war over and declaring her victorious.

She had to return to the Caucasus Mountains with her army as soon as possible to strengthen the defenses there. Otherwise, things will be unthinkable.

"Of course, the worse scenario is that before I defeat William, the Caucasian defense line has been breached, and a hundred thousand resentful troops will appear behind our army. ”

The thought of that situation made Fatima feel chills all over her body and a cold sweat all over her body.

If that happens, then it only means one thing, and that is that her empire is about to fall.

"No, it's not going to be that ridiculous. She did her best to put this foreboding behind her: "It's not going to get to that point. Everything will be better, as long as I can beat William, then everything will work in my favor. Yes, that's right, that's it! After all, I am the true ruler of this world! I am the queen of this world!"

After comforting herself like this, Fatima's whole body became agitated again. After that, she gave the order. She's had enough of this endless tug-of-war.

Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, she will throw all her troops to the front, into this most sacred and greatest war. And the end of this war will inevitably end in her total victory!

The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived.

This war, which will decide the fate of the world, will finally come to an end. William von Hereford, although there are still many hole cards, although there are still reinforcements, although there are still great hopes and hopes. But at this moment, the probability of his victory with Fatima is equal.

Fifty to fifty.

It is even said that forty to sixty.

After so many wars, William's odds were still not high.

At the very least, the odds of winning this battle are not high.
