Chapter 588 Battle of Mannheim Plot Guide Mission 2
Once the home bases of these local lords in the Mannheim Delta are attacked, it will be difficult for them to continue to stay in the Northern Army. They will definitely have to go back to defend their homes. This will force the Northern Kingdom to divide its troops, and will also make the Northern Army's soldiers panic.
Regardless of the 400,000 Imperial Army and 420,000 Northern Army, the Imperial Regular Army has reached 250,000. Only 140,000 are private troops and the remaining 10,000 are player troops. The Northern Army has only 180,000 regular Army.
After losing 10,000 player troops, the remaining 230,000 are lords' private armies, of which more than 180,000 are local lords' troops in the Mannheim Delta.
These local lord troops in the Mannheim Delta have very strong combat effectiveness in the Mannheim Delta. Although they do not have the same level of discipline and cooperation as the regular army, their individual combat effectiveness in the swampy terrain is much higher than that of the regular army.
, and the swamp terrain is not easy to cooperate with, so the overall combat effectiveness of these local lords' troops on the swamp terrain is no worse than that of regular legions, and even some stronger lords' troops are stronger.
This is also the reason why in the first act of the battle, the lords' private army on the left-wing empire was in the upper hand at the beginning, but was at a disadvantage later in the battle. The lord's private army on the empire's side was not as effective as the regular ones on the swamp terrain.
Legion, not to mention the stronger private army of local lords.
In fact, if it weren't for the Boppard Plain being too far away from the center of the North, the supply line being too long, the swampy terrain making supply inconvenient, and being relatively close to the empire's controlled area, the empire would never have made any move towards Mannheim after taking possession of Slatersburg.
Active attacks have been launched in the delta area, otherwise it would be impossible for the northern side to ignore important strategic locations like the Boppard Plain.
In fact, the reaction of the North Kingdom was fast enough. The Boppard Plain is relatively close to the Empire, and the Empire was the party that took the initiative to attack. However, as soon as they received the news that the Empire was gathering troops in Carter Perry City, the North Kingdom immediately made a move.
In response, the Northland advance army arrived near the Boppard Plain in a short period of time and fought with the Imperial advance army.
This naturally has the advantage of the landlords in the north. The local lords can provide supplies and serve as guides, and the lords' private armies can also quickly gather. The player troops do not need to assemble. In fact, the only ones who are really on the way are the 10,000.
The regular army of the Northern Kingdom. But in any case, the importance that the Northern Kingdom attaches to the Boppard Plain is evident.
In fact, except for Yun Xiaohan's battle, the Northern Kingdom achieved its goal in the other 49 battles. Even if it failed to defeat the Imperial advance army, it successfully prevented the Imperial advance army from conquering the Boppard Plain.
It is precisely because of the importance of the Boppard Plain that Yun Xiaohan's outstanding performance in the first act of the battle became increasingly crucial, and he was able to gain the attention of Count Sachs and introduce him to Prince Condé.
After watching the plot, Yun Xiaohan appeared directly in Prince Kong Dai's camp. In addition to several personal guards of Prince Kong Dai, only Prince Kong Dai and Earl Sachs were present in the camp.
It seems that this is just an informal reception, but it is not surprising. Yun Xiaohan is just the captain of a hundred people. No matter how great his achievements are, it is impossible for many officers to line up to welcome him.
Prince Condai had obviously learned about the situation in detail from Count Sachs. After meeting Yun Xiaohan, he first praised him, and then promoted Yun Xiaohan to an official. Naturally, this official was not a title, but during this battle.
With the improvement in command authority, Yun Xiaohan could only lead 100 players before, but now he can lead 500 players.
However, Yun Xiaohan cannot choose the personnel himself and can only be arranged by the system. However, according to the previous composition rules of the Hundreds, Yun Xiaohan feels that the system should assign all the Lingqiong Pavilion members in the battle to him, and the remaining candidates are
relatively close relationship.
The captain of the 500-man team is a mid-level officer. Although he can only lead 500 people in this battle, he will be gone in the next battle, but the more people he leads, the more military exploits Yun Xiaohan can share.
Many, and this resume will not disappear and will be recognized by NPCs in the real game world and other subsequent battles.
However, if it was just a matter of promotion, Prince Kong Dai would not need to meet Yun Xiaohan alone. He could just ask Count Sachs to pass the order, so there must be something else.
Sure enough, after being promoted, Prince Kongdai mentioned another matter.
"Viscount Yun Xiaohan, you first helped the empire obtain the Sardinian Territory, and then made a great contribution in the capture of the Boppard Plain. Your loyalty to the empire does not need to be questioned, so one thing can be done
I told you."
Prince Condé paused and continued: "Actually, before launching this battle, His Majesty and I were not very sure. After all, the terrain of the Mannheim Delta was not very suitable for our army to fight, so before the war we
They contacted the Zia Khanate and discussed the possibility of joint operations.
Although the Zia Khanate does not have no coastal areas, the temperature on its northeastern coastline is too low. It is frozen for 9 months a year, making it impossible to use it as a port. Therefore, the Zia Khanate has always hoped that
Able to obtain an ice-free port as an outlet to the sea.
The only countries bordering the Zia Khanate are the Leo Theocracy and the Gard Empire. The Leo Theocracy and the Zia Khanate are divided by the Rhine River. The Zia Khanate was originally dominated by nomads, with more than 60% of the population.
They are nomads, have no navy, and only a very small river fleet, and on the other side of the Rhine is the Bampa Fortress of the Leo Theocracy.
Bampa Fortress is located between two mountain ranges, and neither side of the fortress will be threatened. Moreover, Bampa Fortress is known as the "Unsinkable Fortress" and is the strongest fortress on the Yare continent.
The Ziya Khanate would have suffered a big loss when crossing the river, and the Ziya Khanate was not good at attacking cities. There was nothing they could do to take the Bampa Fortress, and even the Bampa Fortress could not be taken. Naturally, it was impossible to do anything to the Leo Theocracy, so
The Zia Khanate could only pursue the idea of the Gard Empire, which had a long border with its own country.
When we were at war with the Gard Empire, they probably had an idea, but they still wanted to wait and see, hoping that we and the Gard Empire would consume each other more and they would come out to take advantage again.
Therefore, when we sent people to contact them, although the Zia Khanate was very tempted, they were unwilling to end the game early, and even if they were willing to end the game, their requirements were very high.
Not only do the areas captured by the Zia Khanate themselves belong to them, they also want a share of the Mannheim Delta.
They probably felt that without them, we would not be able to capture the Mannheim Triangle, so they asked how the empire could possibly agree to their unreasonable demands, so the joint operations came to a standstill."
PS: After the modification of the skill upgrade mode in Chapter 10, the original settings are prone to problems, and I can't take care of it.
Modify it like this: The upgrade mode of upgradable skills in "Decision" is still very simple. Players will gain a certain skill experience when using skills or passively triggering skills. When the skill experience is full, they will be promoted to the next skill level, but the skill
Different skills have different ways of gaining experience, and the experience required to upgrade a skill to level 1 is also different.
The previous article has been changed, and this PS was added later.
