If Prince Wedelek is a person who works vigorously and resolutely, has a perseverant character, is neither playful nor undisciplined, then the ideal Scythe plan formulated by the Ministry of War may be realized. The Kingdom of Ovelas can be realized in the shortest time.
In a short period of time, it swept across the entire eastern region of the continent and sent the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance into the abyss. There was no longer a three-year war, and there were so many events and changes that shocked the entire Falea continent...
Perhaps only the passage of time will make the conspiracy emerge in front of the world, but at this time the only thing the Blue Feather Army can complain about is that they have chosen a prince who is not suitable for the front line to supervise the army. They must endure this prince's delay and unwillingness to
Reliable, playful and undisciplined, he sits back and watches the opportunity slip away from his control.
The Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion on the Western Front were still slowly advancing on the border of the Kingdom of Nasseri, using cannons to knock down the defense facilities. The battle was fierce and the losses were somewhat heavy. On the Eastern Front, although
It occupies two-thirds of the territory of the Principality of Sidings, but due to Prince Wedelek's delay and delay in arriving at the front line, the subsequent offensive plan of the Blue Feather Army was completely scrapped. With the Principality of Eskilin, Li
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Principality of Modera and the Principality of Karnas, it is very likely that the Blue Feather Army will engage in a major battle with the enemy at Afena Castle that will determine the fate of the Principality of Sidings...
However, this is also one of several alternative plans formulated by the Ministry of War. The original Scythe plan was for the Blue Feather Army to cross the Odin Mountains through a secret passage, make an emergency landing on the defenders of the Principality of Sidings on two defensive fronts, and then
With lightning speed, it swept across the entire Principality of Siddings, occupied two seaport cities, approached its capital, Afena Castle, and conquered it to destroy the Principality of Sidings.
Then the Blue Feather Army immediately invaded the Kingdom of Nasseri from the Principality of Xidings. It was the back of the Kingdom of Nasseri and a place without any defensive facilities. The Kingdom of Nasseri never expected that the Principality of Xidings would be so fast.
Destroyed, the border between the two countries was flat. The Blue Feather Army was like a sickle, sweeping across the strategic rear of the Kingdom of Nasseri from its unprepared flanks. With the Red Dragon Army and the Griffin Army, they attacked front and back to disrupt the Kingdom of Nasseri.
The war deployment made it lose sight of the other, and it was no longer able to resist the attack of the kingdom's three major field ace armies and the subsequent second-line armies.
As long as the Kingdom of Nasseri surrenders or dies, the remaining three principalities will no longer be able to withstand the attack of the Kingdom of Ovelas. The war sweeping across the eastern part of the continent will soon be extinguished, and the Kingdom of Ovelas is about to
Become a regional power that unifies the eastern part of Farea continent.
Of course, this is only under the most ideal situation. The Blue Feather Legion's attack on the Principality of Sidings went smoothly without any mistakes. But now this situation has been artificially interrupted. Although the Blue Feather Legion's troops have arrived at Efinas
Under the fort, but unable to launch an attack, he could only sit back and watch the enemy's reinforcements arrive continuously...
However, this is not beyond the expectations before the war. In this case, the Blue Feather Army simply strides back thirty or forty miles, preparing to implement the second strategic backup plan, which is to defeat Sidings in one fell swoop under the Fort of Afena
The last armed forces of the principality and the reinforcements from the other three principalities defeated the Principality of Sidings with a victory in a great battle, and at the same time gave those three principalities a powerful look.
Therefore, the Blue Feather Legion does not urge Prince Widrick to speed up his journey now. The strength of the Blue Feather Legion alone is obviously not enough for a big battle. At least two second-line legions must be dispatched from the rear. What has been learned from the current reconnaissance is that,
The three principalities of Eskiline, Rimodra, and Karnas each sent a legion of reinforcements to the Principality of Sidings. Together with the remaining armed forces of the Principality of Sidings, the total strength has exceeded 20
Twenty thousand people.
If the enemy's reinforcements had not yet arrived at Fort Afena, and if there were still some disputes in logistics, frontline command, etc. that had not been adjusted clearly, perhaps the Blue Feather Army was already under siege. The current situation is that the Blue Feather Army is
The Second Field Division is setting up a defensive front in a mountainous area more than forty miles away from Fort Afina, arranging the battlefield for the future battle here, and waiting for the two subsequent second-line armies to arrive at the front line.
The senior leaders of the Blue Feather Legion are very optimistic that as long as the two subsequent second-line legions arrive, the kingdom's army with a strength of 160,000 to 70,000 can completely defeat the opponent's more than 200,000 people. It is impossible to win the battle and destroy the Principality of Sidings.
Doubtful facts. There are even many high-level officials who believe that the delay in Prince Widelek's schedule is not a bad thing for the Blue Feather Army. After all, this battle is dominated by the Blue Feather Army. This is better than executing the Scythe Plan.
It would be much better to invade the Kingdom of Nasseri and cooperate with the Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion to fight...
Therefore, Prince Wedelek's schedule was nothing to be nervous about. It was not until mid-August, two and a half months after the outbreak of the war, that he finally arrived in Ames City. After another three days of rest, he began to handle business and presided over the meeting.
After the surrender ceremony and the handover of the city and prisoners, the First Field Division of the Blue Feather Army was finally able to set off for the front line. Because the weather was starting to get hot, Prince Wedelek stayed in the city lord's mansion in Ames City and did not want to move.
He popped out of the far gate and appointed two honorary generals to follow him to the two seaport cities of the Principality of Sidings to take charge of the handover. They were accompanied by two divisions of the second-line army stationed in Amys City.
The Eleventh Field Battalion where Claude belongs has become the only combat unit of the Blue Feather Legion stationed in Ames City. Of course, their duty is to protect the personal safety of the distinguished Prince Widelek and the Guards Corps.
Just like the battle camp, he stayed in the military camp all day doing nothing. The main reason was that the noble second prince was more concerned about his personal safety and never went out in the city lord's mansion protected by the Guards Corps battle camp.
It saved a lot of trouble.
Claude, who was fine, occasionally went out to the military camp for a stroll. However, although Amys City is considered the fourth largest city in the Principality of Sidings after the capital Afina Castle and the two seaport cities, it has always been famous for its wild products from the Odin Mountains.
It is famous for its production and marketing, but after being occupied by the kingdom, the market has become very depressed. Not to mention the market, even the residents in the city have mostly closed their doors, hiding at home and unwilling to go out. Unless they go to the temple to pray or
It's for buying food, and you rarely see local residents hanging out on the road.
Claude walked a long way before he found a grocery store that was still open. He wanted to go in and buy a few bottles of fruit wine to take back to the military camp and drink with the four noble children. As a result, the store owner, who looked horrified, kept shaking his head.
It was said that there was no alcohol for sale. It wasn't until Claude paid a silver thaler first that the shopkeeper looked around and found nothing unusual outside, then took out four bottles of unlabeled fruit wine from under the counter and handed them to Claude.
On the way back to the military camp, Claude discovered why the shopkeeper was so nervous. A team of heavily armed men, led by two honorary lieutenants, were knocking on doors and breaking locks on every door along the street and searching inside.
After asking, I found out that this was a tax collection team dedicated to Prince Wedelek. It carried out the prince's orders and levied war taxes on all residents of Amys City. Those who had no money would use valuables at home to compensate...
Generally speaking, it is a normal phenomenon in this era for the occupiers to levy war taxes on the residents of the occupied areas. The only difference is that Prince Wedelek tripled the amount of the war tax and paid each household
The tax amount is levied on every resident, even newborn babies. Obviously, he is taking the opportunity of collecting war taxes to make a lot of money for himself...
Claude had no right to care about this. He could only quickly return to the camp without seeing anything.
By the end of September, the preliminary preparations for the battle had been completed. The two second-line armies arriving from the rear had arrived at the front line and entered the predetermined battlefield position. Whether it was the army of the Kingdom of Overas or the four-nation coalition led by the Principality of Sidings,
They all acquiesced to the battlefield where this battle was taking place and were ready to do their best to win.
Only the 11th Field Battalion, which has nothing to do, is still in Ames City. Some officers who are eager to make further achievements on the battlefield are secretly cursing their own battalion for having such an unlucky job and being unable to join the decision-making process of a principality.
Even among the major battles in the eastern part of the continent, it is obvious that this is a major battle that will go down in history. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity.
On the other hand, Claude often went to Dr. Perrente to chat when he had nothing to do. For Dr. Perente, the time spent in Ames City was enough to relax, and the Eleventh Field Battalion was not responsible for defending the city or collecting taxes.
There were only a few sick and wounded in the time, and there were only two unlucky ones who had eaten too much and had vomiting and diarrhea. A medical soldier could take care of them.
So the two people who had nothing to do often looked at the map of the Principality of Sidings and pondered there. What surprised Claude was that the three principalities of Eskiline, Rimodra and Karnas had not been affected by the war.
, with the strength of their country, it is more than enough to form four legions from the declaration of war to now, but why only send one legion to support the Principality of Sidings?
In addition, there is the Kingdom of Nasseri. They should have taken action after receiving the news that the Principality of Sidings was attacked. It should be urgent to send one or two legions to support. Why has the Kingdom of Nasseri never sent an army to support the Principality of Sidings?
The news? The standing force of the Nasseri Kingdom is four legions. After the war broke out, it announced the recruitment and expansion of eight second-line legions. Currently, there are only three standing legions on the western front to resist the attacks of the Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion. They can definitely
Draw two legions to support the Principality of Sidings...
Things always work out as they say, and in the wild speculations of Claude and Dr. Perrente, a dragnet has already enveloped the heads of the Blue Feather Legion on the front line and the two second-line legions.
When formulating strategic plans, the staff of the Army Department of the Kingdom of Overas once again made the mistake of overestimating themselves and underestimating the enemy. In their imagination, one legion of the kingdom could defeat two or three of the enemy's legions. Even those
It is a matter of course for the second-line army to defeat the enemy's standing army.
And as soon as the kingdom's army starts to attack, the enemy can only retreat desperately in addition to defense. When there is no way to retreat, they will be forced to engage in a decisive battle on the battlefield, and then after being defeated by the kingdom's heroic and invincible army
They would be begging for a truce and peace from the kingdom. So in the minds of these staff officers, they only need to formulate a plan of continuous attack. No one would have thought that the enemy would jump over the wall and launch a counterattack...
No one could have expected that the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance had already set its sights on the Blue Feather Legion. The Nasseri Kingdom would rather retreat step by step on the Western Front and decided to first eliminate the Blue Feather Legion that penetrated deeply into the Principality of Sidings and lift this threat.
They secretly transferred two standing legions from the western front and replaced them with three second-line legions to defend against the attacks of the Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion.
Then quietly move these two standing armies to the border of the Principality of Xidings, sneak into the territory of the Principality of Xidings, and prepare to outflank the Blue Feather Army and the two second-line armies from the rear after the battle begins, encircling and annihilating these dozen
Thousands of enemies, the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance has made up its mind to completely cut off the claws of the Kingdom of Overas that extend into the Principality of Sidings.
In fact, the Blue Feather Legion and the two second-line legions have to face more than 200,000 enemies. The other three principalities sent to support the Sidings Principality are not one legion, but two legions. In the Blue Feather Legion,
Behind the known enemy force of more than 200,000 that the Feather Legion faced, there was another legion hidden behind it. There were also two standing legions of the Kingdom of Nasseri behind it, and on the side was the combined fleet of the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance.
Escorting the two legions and preparing to land at the two occupied seaport cities of the Principality of Sidings, cutting off the Blue Feather Legion's retreat to the two seaport cities...
