Moreover, these five improvised infantry divisions are composed of a main force regiment and a garrison regiment. The main force regiment is okay, but the garrison regiment is not actually very effective in combat. Although it is compared to the corrupted army of Kia Lante
, the combat effectiveness of the garrison was already overwhelming, but in the face of the possible appearance of the Holy Demon Empire's army, these garrison groups were not enough.
Most of the garrison regiments are not equipped with heavy machine guns, and there is also a serious shortage of anti-aircraft guns. Originally, a garrison regiment was equipped with two 30mm caliber high-level and flat dual-purpose cannons for air defense. However, because of the capture of Naru City, most of these anti-aircraft cannons
They were all transferred away to strengthen the air defense of Naaru City.
After all, whether it is the troops going south or the troops advancing eastward, the only way out for the Eilandsil army is the Naaru adjacent to Seris City. If something goes wrong with the Naaru, the Eilandsil troops heading south and eastward will
The retreat was cut off.
However, anti-aircraft guns could not meet the needs of the front line in a short period of time, so the air defense of Naru City was strengthened, and the shortage of anti-aircraft guns for the second-line garrison became even more serious.
The 5th regiment attacking Bude was commanded by Kolya. Because they went south earlier, they also took their anti-aircraft guns with them. The 6th regiment commanded by Bourjos, who had been on standby for a day near Nalu City,
division, two anti-aircraft guns were transferred.
This made Bourjos a little embarrassed. The combat effectiveness of his main regiment, the 6th Regiment, was still very guaranteed, but the 16th Regiment, the garrison regiment that made up the numbers, did not have a single anti-aircraft gun.
The 4th Division under Modler's command, which was attacking eastward, was not large in size, because his attack direction was towards the eastern city of Wolawo where the opponent's defense strength was not sufficient, and it was not on the only way for the Holy Demon Empire to counterattack northward.
, so on the contrary, his pressure is relatively small.
The 3rd Division of the General Reserve under the command of Wilkes, which has 3 infantry regiments, is also not fully equipped with weapons. Only the main 3rd Regiment is equipped with sufficient anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, and the remaining two infantry regiments only have rifles.
and infantry artillery.
The 2nd Division commanded by Waggron is shouldered with the important task of guarding Naaru City and cannot be easily mobilized, so he doesn't know whether he should let the troops continue to disperse and move south and east at the same time, and then face the counterattack of the Holy Demon Empire.
At that time, it was impossible to concentrate the troops for a battle.
Although there are still troops joining the troops going south one after another, the second-line troops without heavy firepower are not the decisive force in the battle. Waggron feels that no matter how many of these troops go south, they will not be able to stop the real dragon of the Holy Demon Empire.
Knight Troops.
Therefore, even if Wageron's total troops on his side exceed 40,000, and there are four additional garrison regiments behind him that can be used, he only counts on the 12 regiments of troops he currently has.
"The furthest we can't cross this line! This is our original plan, and it's also the furthest we can probably advance..." Wagron gently drew a line on the map and looked at his several officers.
, said.
In the original plan, Alan Hill, or Chris, never thought that it would be possible to annex the Alant Empire in one battle. This was completely impossible. After all, the land area of the Alan Hill Empire was at least the size of Elant Hill.
Twenty times or more.
The newly established regular army of Airan Hill did not have enough troops to occupy all the cities of the Arant Empire, so Chris estimated that the best situation would be to capture the entire northern region of the Arant Empire.
His troops can only advance as far as the front lines of Bude, Maritsa and Volavo. No matter how far they go, they will not be able to hold on to their victory: even this line is a relatively optimistic line, and it is the most controllable line.
It's a long way off.
According to what Chris said at the time, the prerequisite for holding this line is that the Holy Demon Empire did not participate in the war, or did not invest too many troops after participating in the war. If the other party is determined to participate in the war and sends a large number of troops, then Ailan Hill will
lost heavily.
The worst outcome is not unimaginable. Once the Holy Demon Empire goes into full-scale war with Alan Hill, Bude will almost collapse to the front line of Maritsa. In the end, only one person that Chris can keep will become the front line.
The scorched earth city of Naaru.
"Order the liaison officer immediately and bring the order to all the troops! If the cavalry of the Prairie Empire insists on going south, then let them continue to go south to buy us time and create strategic depth." Wagron was the only one who got the magic ball of knowledge.
Military commander, so he can open his mouth and speak so many modern military vocabulary.
It was precisely because of the supplement and strengthening of the Magic Ball of Knowledge that Chris was able to trust Wageron to command five divisions and more than 30,000 combat troops.
"Now, we can only wait and see how the Arant Empire will fight back!" Wagron said angrily, crossing his arms and looking at the battle map in front of him.
…
In the distant Royal City of Arant, a fast horse rushed into the city gate. Pedestrians on both sides gave way. The knight on the fast horse had no intention of slowing down. Instead, he waved his whip desperately and urged his hips.
The horse under the horse runs faster.
In the majestic Arant Palace hall, the emperor of the Arant Empire, Arant Hook, was sitting on his throne, listening with a cold face to Prime Minister Clark's report on the battle situation on the southern front.
Because of the Holy Demon Empire, General Zorn lost his troops and the Arant Empire failed in its attempt to attack the Dothan Empire. For this reason, it also lost a total of 30,000 soldiers and 40 newly built cannons.
You know, these cannons can be said to be made of gold. Each cannon is extremely valuable. Losing one cannon will definitely make people feel sad for a long time. But in the south, Zorn lost a total of forty in one breath...
The problem is that the Dothan Empire has not yet been defeated, and as a result of the loss of troops and generals in the south, it is forced to cede a piece of land to Doson for recuperation. Arant is simply stealing chickens and losing rice. In an absolute sense, he has lost his wife and lost his troops.
Arant Hook is waiting for an explanation, an explanation from his royal relative, General Zorn, and an explanation from the Holy Demon Empire. Although he may not be able to hear the latter explanation, he is indeed waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.
.
After all, he had done nothing wrong. The Holy Demon Empire's blatant intervention in the previous war between Arant and the Dothan Empire was actually against the rules, and the Arant Empire needed to be compensated.
"General Moss is leading his troops north. This is the news that came back yesterday... They will arrive at the Fallen River soon and will be near the royal city." Clark was also holding back his anger at this moment and reported.
When talking about what happened in the past few days, his voice sounded a little harsh.
The 50,000 gold coins that Ailan Hill promised to give him this year have not yet been sent to him. If the taxes apportioned later are added to the empire's original taxes, Tubao, Beijun and Hanhai are also included.
Chris will have to send him at least 90,000 gold coins this year for the taxes from the three places!
This was what Prime Minister Clark kept thinking about, so in addition to being harsh, his report was also somewhat absent-minded: he was thinking about the money that belonged to him, those gold coins that he liked no matter how he looked at them.
"Report! Report!" The knight who had just mounted his war horse and stumbled into the royal city finally dismounted outside the palace, panted and climbed up the steps, holding the letter in his hand high, and shouted loudly.
No one dared to stop this knight, because the scroll in his hand was painted in green, which is the color of the flag of the Arant Empire. The meaning of this color is very important and must be delivered directly to the emperor.
When the knight reached the center of the hall, he collapsed on the ground. Running all the way made him lose too much physical strength. However, he still held up the scroll in his hand and reported loudly that he had read countless words along the way.
The following news: "Elanshir is undeclared war! They invaded Naaru a few days ago!"
"Naaru?" After hearing the news, Emperor Arant Hook held the armrests of the throne with both hands and seemed to want to stand up, but when he was halfway up, he fell back on his throne.
It’s no wonder His Majesty the Emperor’s gaffe. Even in the rich and powerful Arant Empire, a big city like Naru and the surrounding rich territories cannot be ignored. Losing such a densely populated and economically developed area will have a negative impact on Arant.
Empires are very deadly.
Arant Hook is also forty years old. Ever since he succeeded to the throne and became emperor, he has been working diligently, hoping to be a good emperor who can revitalize the Arant Empire. Otherwise, he would not support General Zorn's march south.
He won't have any thoughts of going north to attack Eiland Hill.
It is a pity that the system and officials of the Arant Empire are corrupt to the core and cannot be corrected or eliminated at all. Therefore, no matter how hard Arant Hook tries, he ultimately cannot reverse the fact that Arant continues to decay.
I saw this diligent emperor staring at a pair of eyes that were not too big, looking at the knight who delivered the news, and asked majestically: "Tell me clearly, what does it mean to invade Nalu? Nalulian
You didn't hold it for a few days? It was breached so quickly?"
After the knight heard His Majesty the Emperor's stern question, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he continued to cry loudly, as if his relatives died in Naaru City: "Your Majesty! Lord Adam sacrificed his life for his country, Naaru City
Lucheng... has indeed been occupied by the rebels of Ailan Hill!"
At this time, the emperor of the Arantian Empire suddenly looked at Clark, who was also at a loss. He waved his hands and said, "I don't know about this yet... Regarding the occupation of Naaru by Alandhir, we need to
Just take a long-term view..."
"Then let's discuss it quickly!" Alante Hook, who was already very impatient, knocked on the armrest of his throne and roared angrily.
