Sixty Spring Run
"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 eloquently. The most powerful minister.
Being able to act as a powerful minister under the diligent Emperor Arrant Hook, in fact, this Clark still has two brushes. It's just...he only has these two brushes. After analyzing the general situation of the front line, he opened his mouth and suggested: "Ailan Hill has insufficient troops, and will definitely ask for reinforcements from the grasslands!"
He analyzed this matter very thoroughly, after all, these things are within the scope of common sense. Ailan Hill has few troops. If you don't form an alliance with the grassland, if the grassland empire goes south to loot, wouldn't Ailan Hill be in a situation of being attacked by the enemy?
Anyway, according to common sense, there are only a few cities that Ailan Hill can attack: Wallawa in the east, Bud and Maricha in the south.
"Now, if you 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 forces to prepare for a counterattack." The tactic that Clark said was actually the most law-abiding tactic. .
As long as there are no accidents, there will be no mistakes in this tactic. As a prime minister of an empire, the most willing to choose this kind of plan without mistakes. As for the various shortcomings of this plan, it is not something that he, the prime minister, needs to consider.
For example, one of the biggest problems with this arrangement is that the speed of assembling troops will be very slow. When the deep cities are ready to fight, it is possible that Alan Hill has gained a firm foothold in Wallawa, Bud and Maricha. .
However, this is not a problem in the eyes of Prime Minister Clark, because he believes that the Alan Hill country has few small soldiers, and once it falls into the stage of a long-term stalemate war, the situation will definitely be controlled by the Arrant Empire, which has a vast land and a large population and strong troops.
What's more, Clark still has reinforcements: the Arrant Empire has just suffered a big loss in the south, and the Holy Devil Empire has just given the Arrant Empire a stick, and now is naturally the time to give sweet dates.
Once the Holy Demon Empire is involved in the war and stands on the side of the Arlant Empire, even if Ailan Hill has three heads and six arms, it is by no means an opponent of the Holy Demon Empire and the Arland Empire alliance! At that time, let alone spit out the city that was eaten, whether the country of Ireland Hill can still exist is a serious question.
"But... Your Excellency Prime Minister! Does this mean that we have handed over the four cities to others?" Arrant Hook, the emperor, did not agree with Prime Minister Clark's strategy, and asked: "Isn't there a better way? A good way?"
From the emperor's point of view, the Arrant Empire was all his own family's property. If the pots and pots were broken, he felt distressed about it. Allowing Alan Hill to run rampant in his own country like this is simply slapping him in the face.
"Your Majesty! As long as we stabilize our position, Alan Hill will be wiped out as soon as the reinforcements from the Holy Demon Empire arrive." Clark glanced at Hook's face, and explained.
No matter what other people think, when Arrant Hook heard the name of the Holy Demon Empire, he felt a surge of blood—if it wasn't for the Holy Demon Empire, his army would have almost leveled the entire Dothan Empire!
In the end, it was like this. A small country in the north, Ailan Hill, dared to provoke the mighty Arrant Empire. Arrant Hook felt very aggrieved, and there seemed to be a suppressed sullenness in his chest. Just can't get out.
"Wait, wait! Are all my soldiers dead? Do I have a dignified Arlantean Empire, and don't even have a warrior who dares to fight?" Finally, in the silence of the hall, Arrant Hook It finally exploded.
He really felt that his subordinates were all trash.
The kind of trash who can't share his worries. He tried so hard to revive his empire, only to stare at these stupid cystworms every day.
"Your Majesty, the newly minted 20 red-clothed cannons are to be deployed on the walls of the royal city, and the rest of the cannons were taken to the south by General Zorn..." A general finally stood up and spoke. I analyzed the current battle situation: "Without the red-clothed cannon, our troops cannot compete with the opponent's cannon..."
Speaking of this matter, Hook finally calmed down a bit. He had seen the power of the red-clothed cannon. Without this, it is really not a wise thing to force his soldiers to face the enemy's cannon with flesh and blood. .
But he was still unwilling to defend passively like this, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "Then you can't sit still like this! Pass my order! Assemble 100,000 troops and divide them into two groups! Immediately go north and reinforce Maricha and Bude!"
On the vast plain south of Naru City, the black golden eagle king flag is fluttering in the wind, and the army commanded by Koriya is rapidly advancing southward, and they have to advance a distance of more than 50 kilometers a day.
This speed is about to catch up with the advance speed of the mechanized troops, so in fact, Coria has been carrying out a high-intensity rapid march. He did this in order to push the front to Bude as soon as possible.
In fact, the scale of Bud City is not as large as Naru City, which is a major traffic town and a defensive fortress. The entire city has only a population of about 300,000. Even so, it's a pretty huge city.
The city is close to the Higgs kingdom westward, but because of the mountains and rivers, the road between it and Higgs is not easy. Therefore, in the past, the trade route between the Higgs Kingdom and the Arrant Empire generally took the further northward Higgs to Serris and then to the Naru trade route.
However, Bude is still an important border town, and it is a very important defense and deep logistics base. It supports four castles in the direction of Higgs and is a very important military town.
Once the tens of thousands of Arrant frontier troops in the direction of Bude are prepared for defense, it will definitely not be easy to win by relying only on more than 5,000 divisions under the command of Koriya. If the enemy is slowed down and equipped to fight in the field, Coria's troops will also be in danger.
After all, if the Holy Demon Empire really goes into battle, relying on city defense, and fighting a giant dragon in the wild, it can definitely be said to be two completely different states. Keria also wanted to rely on the city to defend against possible assaults by the Holy Demon Empire after all preparations were made.
The imaginary enemy of Alan Hill's attack this time was actually the Holy Demon Empire standing behind the Arland Empire - as for the front Arlant Empire, from beginning to end, neither Chris nor his generals had any. worried.
Vagron even assured Chris that if the Holy Demon Empire did not participate in the war, he could directly advance to the royal city of the Arrant Empire and crush all the enemies he encountered along the way.
Urging his troops to move forward as soon as possible, Coria rode on a horse and waited for the liaison officer. A light cavalry came up from behind, holding the king's flag, and grabbed the reins of the warhorse beside Coria.
"Ugh!" The horses stopped in front of Koriya, and the leading officer clenched his right fist and pressed his chest. After giving a military salute, he put his hand into a document bag on his back and took out a The order, signed by Vagron's autograph, was handed to Coria: "Password Curtain! Your Excellency's order!"
"Teacup! The password is correct! The order came really fast." Corea looked at the liaison officer in front of him, then lowered his head and opened the order document sealed with wax, and saw a simple order written on it: "No Beyond the Bude line!"
"Ha! Vagron thinks we are four-legged monsters? I want to cross Bud!" Coria folded the order and handed it to his adjutant: "Tell General Vagron! My troops are far from Bud! There are still 90 kilometers! The fastest genius can attack!"
The officer nodded his head, pulled his reins, put his legs on the horse's belly, and ran away in the direction from which he came. The cavalry behind him still held the black king's flag, and without even taking a break, they rushed to the distant horizon.
Bourgeois, who was closer, was also desperately advancing towards Maricha at this time. His troops were closer to the target, but the speed of the south was slower. So he can only start the attack the day after tomorrow, which is the fastest result.
At this time, General Modler showed the keen sense of smell of famous generals. He left the poorly equipped 14th garrison regiment, and let the well-equipped 4th regiment carry almost all the carriages and ran out of the fastest in the army. attack speed.
When he received the order of Valglund, he had already entered the territory of Wallavor City, and he could launch a storm the next day.
The war that began in the spring was not so much a war as it was a rally between the armies of Elan Hill. Decent fights barely broke out, and all attacks were about as little as hurrying.
In this way, they ran all the way. While the reinforcements of the Holy Demon Empire and the main force of Arrant were still stranded near the Fallen Abyss River, Chris' main force had dispersed and pressed against the farthest line of defense they planned to advance.
In front of the 40,000 Alan Hill grenadiers and their 50,000 steppe cavalry allies, there were about 150,000 Arlantean garrison troops and their reinforcements—the total strength of both sides was the Arlantean Empire. Predominant, but whether the combat power is stronger or weaker is another matter.
In fact, even without the grenadiers of Ailan Hill, only facing 50,000 prairie cavalry and a garrison of 150,000 Arland, it may not be easy to win - but, in the end, for Ailan Hill's general For us, this spring long-distance running competition is finally over...
