Chapter 890 Support

The sudden invasion of the demons brought one word to the Yuansheng Continent - chaos!

The most chaotic is of course the Red Lion Principality, where the incident occurred. At present, the distribution of forces in the Red Lion Principality is mainly divided into three parts. Except for the Duchy's capital, Lion's Tooth City, which has heavy troops, the other two armies of more than 200,000 each, one guarding the steppe barbarians in the northernmost part, and the other confronting the empire in the southernmost part. Therefore, the demon army is like a sharp death scythe, rushing straight towards the Lion's Tooth City, wanting to completely separate the Red Lion Principality in half.

The chaos on the side of the Red Lion Principality will not be mentioned for the time being. The Northwestern Army of the Prussia was similarly in disarray.

The Reich, the Holy See, etc., have already reacted. The best outcome is, of course, to hold the Lion's Tooth City, so the confronting army of the Red Lion Principality has already returned and marched to its own capital.

The Imperial Military Department also issued a military order to the Northwest Army: to advance north to the line of the Guana River, cooperate with the Tro Kingdom to mobilize troops on the border with the Red Lion Principality, form a second line of defense, and support Lion's Tooth City according to the situation.

And the role of these two lines of defense is to buy time. As long as it can be held back for three months, in addition to the fragmentary reinforcements sent by all sides, the main force of General Anton's Southern Army, 510,000 horses, will also arrive. In the future, the troops will also be under his unified command. In this way, although most of the Red Lion Principality has been lost, it can at least stabilize the defensive line. Then it depends on who has the ability to mobilize. First, we should strive to drag on until the war of attrition, and then gradually give full play to the advantages of the strong potential of human warfare.

This plan was good, but some contradictions in the Northwest Army immediately came to the fore. The first is the lack of troops. In order to prepare for the establishment of a defense line for the Guana River and to support the Lion's Tooth City, it is definitely necessary to divide the troops. And this also brings up the second question -- who to send, and which force to send?

The conductor is, of course, Dipp. Who made him the number two person in the Northwest Army. And everyone knows that rescue is much more dangerous than building a line of defense. Then leave it to the "heroic and good war" General Tipp!

Dip's own troops, the 3,000 Hussar Guards. A brigade of more than 4,000 holy springs, as well as the 200 knights led by the knight order Julia. They're definitely going. The 20,000 cavalry sent by the Red Lion Principality have long since returned to their hearts. They didn't have their butts hot, and they were about to return to the Red Lion Duchy to fight. Since this force was only under the command of Dipp, it was also a reason why Dip was in command of reinforcements.

However, such a small number of troops will not make a big difference at all. However, now the strength of the Northwest Army is also very tight. Fortunately, Diego did not play his cards according to common sense, and the second batch of 60,000 soldiers had been recruited. With the addition of the first batch, it is barely full. Of course, needless to say, the quality of this soldier is needless to say, he has not received any training at all, and there is a huge shortage of weapons and materials. So in such a situation. Count Daniel was stingy.

Now the Northwest Army has very few units with combat effectiveness. Everyone wants it, and no one lets it. The contradiction could not be resolved, so Dip and Count Daniel immediately quarreled. In the end, it was nothing more than a compromise, and in the end it was decided to let the division of Heideberg and Willy, with more than 8,000 men, plus 5,000 men from Beamon's troops, be organized into reinforcements. And the 10,000 war horses that Dipu received from Feigul this time were also donated.

In this way, Dip's troops reached more than 40,000 people. And basically cavalry, maneuvering very fast. It's more interesting. Hassan's Knights' Brigade and Heidelberg's Division were both more than half missing. But at this moment, no one cares about the lack of staffing.

The situation of the army was in flames, and as soon as it was ready, Dipu led his troops to set off. I can't care about anything else now. Just get to Lion's Tooth City as fast as you can......

......

At this time, Dipu didn't know that compared to the chaos of the Northwest Army, there was even more chaos in Lion's Tooth City. Because the Grand Duke of the Red Lion has suddenly disappeared.

After getting the news. The Red Lion Grand Duke Van Bock asked nearly half of the guards around him to escort William Jr. back to Lion's Tooth City first. And he himself leads the remaining half. It is necessary to get close to the activity area of the demons and go to "explore the situation". Because Van Bock has always been a leader. The escort troops around him are the elite of the principality. So no one questioned it. Unexpectedly, after three days of separation, Van Bock suddenly disappeared. You know, he's carrying magical communications with him. By now, Van Bock has been missing for five or six days.

This disappearance immediately caused chaos in the entire principality. All military operations were self-directed, as if suddenly they had no brains, and they fell into chaos. The key question is -- what strategy should the Red Lion Principality adopt? Should it withdraw all the troops of the whole country to the Lion's Tooth City for a decisive battle? Or should it resist section by section? To make matters worse, a large army of steppe barbarians has also appeared. The Red Lion Principality was immediately flanked by two armies.

Under these circumstances, on the thirteenth day, Dip's troops rushed to the city of Lion's Tooth. And their speed was even faster than the Principality's border army that set off first. As soon as he arrived in Lion's Tooth City, William Jr. led the two Magisters of the Duchy and welcomed Dipu into the city gates.

"Thank you, Lord Earl. The military situation is tight, so let's make a long story short. So far, it is still not accurate to judge how many people have appeared in the demon race. But at the rate at which they were advancing, they would reach Lion's Tooth City in seven days. A Duchy Magister briefed Dipu, "Now our plan, after the southern troops arrive in Lion's Tooth City, relying on the capital, we will intercept the demon army on the line of the capital, and buy you half a month......

"Wait!" Dipu was slightly confused. What does this mean...... as if he was about to arrange his own mission immediately, "Master Kuma! I don't have many troops with me, and I need to rest after a rapid march of ten days." If there is any task you arrange, we will do our best to do it. But you also need to understand this situation, I'm afraid that I will miss a big thing. ”

"Nothing, Lord Earl is polite. Master Kuma smiled kindly, "Actually, that's true. Although I don't know the specific strength of the demons, it is definitely much more than us. If the Lion's Tooth City is really surrounded by the demons, and the line of the Lion's Tooth City is intercepted, then the more than 200,000 people in the northern army will not be able to retreat, and they will be surrounded by the demons and the grassland barbarians. In addition, there are millions of civilians to the north. It is certainly impossible to retreat completely, but it is a little bit to be able to retreat. It is better to withdraw across the Guana River to save more vitality for the principality. And this is up to you, only your troops are fast enough to take care of it. So ......"

Dipu didn't have any extra thoughts, he immediately nodded: "Then I won't go into the city, I'll leave now." (To be continued.) )
