"There are 7 castles on the border, and the opponent can capture them all in one day. This is definitely because of the red cannon!" Clark stood in the hall and talked. General Zorn was not here. He was now in the entire imperial city.
The most powerful minister.
To be able to serve as a powerful minister under the diligent Emperor Arant Hook, Clark actually has two skills. But...he only has these two skills. After analyzing the general situation on the front line, he
He opened his mouth and suggested: "Ailan Hill does not have enough troops, so he will definitely ask for reinforcements from the grassland!"
He analyzed this matter very thoroughly. After all, these things are within the scope of common sense. Ailan Hill's troops are small. If they do not form an alliance with the grassland, if the grassland empire goes south to plunder, Ailan Hill will
Isn't Hill trapped in a situation where he is being attacked from both sides?
Anyway, based on common sense, there are only a few cities that Eiland Hill can attack: Volavo in the east, Bude and Maritsa in the south.
"Now, if we want to defend so many places, it's too late for reinforcements. We'd better set up a defense line further back, and then gather our troops to prepare for a counterattack." The tactics Clark mentioned are actually the most satisfactory tactics.
.
As long as there are no accidents, there will be no mistakes in this strategy. As a prime minister of an empire, the most willing choice is this kind of plan without mistakes. As for the various shortcomings of this plan, that is not his fault.
This is something the prime minister needs to consider.
For example, one of the biggest problems with this arrangement is that it will be very slow to assemble troops. By the time the deeper cities are ready for battle, Eilandhir may have already established a foothold in Volavo, Bude and Maritsa.
.
However, this is not a problem at all in the eyes of Prime Minister Clark, because he believes that the country of Ireland has a small number of soldiers. Once it falls into a long-term stalemate war, the situation will definitely be controlled by the Arantian Empire, which has a vast land, a large population and a strong military force.
What's more, Clark still has reinforcements: the Arant Empire has just suffered a big loss in the south, and the Holy Demon Empire has just given a blow to the Arant Empire. Now it is naturally time to give Tian Zao.
Once the Holy Demon Empire gets involved in the war and sides with the Arant Empire, even if Ailan Hill has three heads and six arms, it will never be a match for the alliance between the Holy Demon Empire and the Arant Empire! At that time, let alone take advantage of it.
After the cities that entered were spit out, it was a serious question whether the country of Ireland could still exist.
"But... Prime Minister! If we do this, doesn't it mean that we are giving up four cities to others?" As the emperor, Alan Hooker did not agree with Prime Minister Clark's strategy and asked: "Isn't there more information?
Is it a good idea?"
From the emperor's point of view, the Arantian Empire was his own family's property, and he felt bad for every broken pot and pot. Allowing Ailanthir to wreak havoc in his own country was simply a beating against him.
’s face.
"Your Majesty! As long as we hold our ground and wait for the reinforcements from the Holy Demon Empire to arrive, Airan Hill will be wiped out." Clark glanced at Hook's face and explained bravely.
No matter what others think, Arant Hook feels his blood surge when he hears the name of the Holy Demon Empire. If the Holy Demon Empire had not intervened, his army would have almost flattened the entire Dothan Empire!
As a result, the situation is now like this. A small country in the north, Aland Hill, dares to openly challenge the powerful Arant Empire. Arant Hook feels that he is very aggrieved, and there seems to be a suppressed suffocation in his chest.
I just can't get it out.
"Wait, wait, wait! Are all my soldiers dead? Is it true that our magnificent Arant Empire doesn't even have any warriors who dare to fight?" Finally, in the silence of the hall, Arant Hook said
Finally it broke out.
He really felt that all his men were trash, the kind of trash who couldn't share his worries. He tried hard to revive his empire, but in the end he could only stare at these stupid cystic worms every day.
"Your Majesty, the 20 newly minted red cannons are to be deployed on the walls of the royal city. The remaining cannons were taken south by General Zorn..." A general finally stood up and spoke.
Analyzing the current battle situation: "Without the red cannon, our troops cannot compete with the opponent's cannon..."
When mentioning this matter, Hook finally calmed down a bit. He had seen the power of the red cannon. Without this thing, it is indeed not a wise thing to force his soldiers to face the enemy's cannon with their flesh and blood.
.
But he was still unwilling to defend passively like this, so he ordered: "We can't just sit there and wait for death! Pass my order! Assemble 100,000 troops and divide them into two groups! Go north immediately and reinforce Maritsa and Bude!"
On the vast plain south of Naaru City, the black Golden Eagle King flag was fluttering in the wind, and the army commanded by Kolya was rapidly advancing southward. They probably advanced more than 50 kilometers a day.
This speed has almost caught up with the advance speed of mechanized troops, so Kolya has actually been conducting high-intensity rapid marches. He did this in order to advance the front to Bude as quickly as possible.
The size of Bude City is actually not as large as Nalu City, which is both an important transportation town and a defensive fortress. The entire city only has a population of about 300,000. Even so, it is still a very large city.
This city is close to the Kingdom of Higgs to the west, but because of the mountains and rivers, the road between it and Higgs is not easy to travel. Therefore, in the past, the trade route between the Kingdom of Higgs and the Arant Empire was generally
They all take the route further north from Higgs to Serris and then to the Naru Trade Road.
However, Bude is still an important border town and a very important defensive in-depth logistics base. It supports four castles in the direction of Higgs and is considered a very important military town.
Once the tens of thousands of Arantian border troops in the direction of Bude are prepared for defense, it will definitely not be easy to win just relying on a division of more than 5,000 people commanded by Kolya. If the enemy is allowed to slow down, in the wild
If equipped to fight, Naklia's troops will still be in danger.
After all, if the Holy Demon Empire really goes into battle, relying on city defense and encountering dragons in the wild can be said to be two completely different states. Kolya also wants to make all preparations and rely on
The city defends itself against a possible assault by the Holy Demon Empire.
The imaginary enemy of Alan Hill's attack this time was actually the Holy Demon Empire standing behind the Arant Empire. As for the Arant Empire in the front, Chris and his generals were not worried from the beginning to the end.
.
Waggron even promised Chris that if the Holy Demon Empire did not participate in the war, he could advance directly to the royal city of the Arant Empire and crush all the enemies he encountered along the way.
Urging his troops to advance as quickly as possible, Kolya rode on his horse and waited for the liaison officer. A light cavalry group came up from behind carrying the royal flag and grabbed the reins of the war horse beside Kolya.
"Hello!" The horse stopped in front of Kolya. The leading officer clenched his fist with his right hand and pressed his chest. After saluting a military salute, he reached into a document bag on his side and pulled out a document.
The order with Wageron's autograph was handed to Kolya: "Password curtain! Your Excellency General's order!"
"Teacup! The password is correct! The order came really fast." Kolya looked at the liaison officer in front of him, then lowered his head and opened the order file sealed with wax, and saw a simple line of orders written on it: "Can't
Cross the Bude line!”
"Ha! Vageron thinks we are four-legged monsters? I want to cross Bude!" Kolya folded the order and handed it to his adjutant: "Tell General Vageron! My troops are far away from Bude!"
There are still 90 kilometers left! Only the fastest genius can launch an attack!"
The officer nodded his head, pulled his reins, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and ran wildly in the direction he came from. The cavalry behind him still held up the black royal flag and did not even rest.
All of a sudden, he was running towards the distant horizon.
Bourjos, who was closer, was also desperately advancing towards Maritsa at this time. His troops were closer to the target, but their speed southward was slower. So he could only start the attack the day after tomorrow, which was already
This is the fastest result.
At this time, General Modell showed the keen sense of a famous general. He abandoned the poorly equipped 14th garrison regiment and let the well-equipped 4th regiment take almost all the carriages and run the fastest in the entire army.
attack speed.
When he received Waggron's order, he had already entered the territory of Volavo City and could launch a strong attack the next day.
This war that started in the spring is not so much a war as it is a rally between the various armies of Elanshir. There are almost no decent battles, and all the attacks are almost as fast as rushing.
In this way, they ran all the way. While the reinforcements of the Holy Demon Empire and the main force of Arant were still stranded near the Fallen Abyss River, Chris's main force had dispersed and pressed against the furthest line of defense they planned to advance.
What stands in front of the 40,000 Airan Hill Grenadiers and their 50,000 steppe cavalry allies are the approximately 150,000 Arantian Empire garrison troops and their reinforcements. The total strength of both sides is dominated by the Arantian Empire.
, but which one is stronger or weaker in combat effectiveness is another matter.
In fact, even without the grenadiers of Eiland Hill, facing only 50,000 prairie cavalry and a garrison of 150,000 yarants, they may not be able to win easily. However, in the end, for the generals of Eiland Hill,
