Eighty-Five Nodes

"Stand still! Prepare! Fire!" With a loud command, the 1st regiment and 3rd regiment in front began pouring firepower on the enemy opposite them. The battlefield once again returned to the rhythm of queuing to kill, and because of the addition of heavy machine guns, it became extremely efficient.

The troops of the Arrant Empire collapsed, of course there is no suspense. With the 1st and 3rd regiments joining the battle, the front line that even the giant horse cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire could not penetrate, facing the troops of the mortal empire is really a bit. Overkill.

Within a few minutes, the Arrant Empire was so proud that the Royal Guards, which they thought could even be comparable to the Holy Demon Empire's army, were almost wiped out on the battlefield. The rest of the troops, Langbenzhitu, hid in Tibet and lost their effective organization.

General Zorn was pulled back and retreated, his eyes full of unwillingness and madness. He felt that he should die here, on this land that made him desperate. It's a pity that his subordinates can't let him die here like this. After all, General Zorn is still the nominal general of the Arrant Empire.

"Let's retreat! My lord! The cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire must have retreated. Let's go back to the main camp quickly. It's too late to make plans!" persuade.

After all, Zon didn't really want to die on the battlefield, he just had a little thought, but this thought would have long since the gunshots of the Alan Hill grenadiers on the opposite side became more and more intensive. Just like the troops he commanded, they were in ashes.

So he didn't speak, was pulled by his hands, and retreated towards the camp. Along the way, they gathered the defeated troops, and in the end they didn't even have 2,000 men. Who would have thought that an army of 30,000 people would have retreated like this?

But when Zon finally cheered up and returned to the camp with the remnants of the defeated generals, he found that it was no different from the battlefield.

The corpses were piled up like mountains, and the camp was dilapidated. At a glance, one could tell that there was a fierce battle here, and it was a very tragic kind. Even General Zorn did not dare to enter the camp, and only sent two henchmen in to ask what happened.

As a result, two henchmen returned with Prince Rumbach's men to deliver the news, and an organized rebellion broke out not long after Zorn left with his troops. The captains of several 10,000-strong teams suddenly attacked the main business where Rumback was located. As a result, the two sides fought fiercely and lost thousands of people to each other.

Then the captains of these 10,000-strong teams saw that the sneak attack did not work. They led their troops around the camp and surrendered to the Alan Hill defenders in Maricha under the white flag... Now Lumbach is still counting the number of losses, and it is estimated that even the surrender will lead to The loss caused by the civil unrest is at least 40,000 people.

An army with a mighty 200,000 people at the time of departure has lost half of it without even retaking a city... and sent 30,000 prisoners to the other side. This can be said to be the establishment of the Arrant Empire. The biggest joke in the history of war.

Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Now, neither Zon nor Prince Rumback can afford to take such a black cauldron in front of him. Using hundreds of thousands of troops to fight this kind of gambling on the country's luck, even the emperor himself can't afford to lose.

"Immediately retreat! Isn't it courting death to wait here? The Alan Hill troops on the flank are about to attack, and they will be stuck and will lose tens of thousands of people!" Having seen the strength of the opponent's field troops, Zon is very Know his own situation now.

Taking the last of these troops to retreat quickly, fortunately, saving the few bones and blood left in the Arante Empire is the only thing he can do now. If the remaining 100,000 troops were to be lost, then Arrant would not even be eligible for a peace.

But... I just want to go, how can I go so smoothly? When facing the giant horse cavalry, or the dragon knight, the cavalry of the steppe empire is as weak as a quail. But in the face of the defeated soldiers of the Arrant Empire,

The cavalry of the steppe empire has infinite advantages.

These cavalry can chase and kill along the way, biting the Arrant Empire troops and preventing them from retreating south at full speed. As long as they can reduce the speed of the Arlant Empire's retreat, the main force of Alan Hill, which has a large number of carriages, can keep chasing the Arlant Empire's troops.

At that time, no matter whether it is Farud, the important town of the Arlant Empire, or Tongsk, the gateway to the royal city, they will not be able to hold on to it... At that time, the royal city will become the front line. Will Emperor Huke kill Zon and Lun? Buck venting his hatred is hard to say.

"Retreat immediately! Take away all the formed troops, and leave behind the troops with heavy losses! Hurry up! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" General Zorn issued a series of orders after entering the camp. The troops immediately retreated and even left 20,000 old and weak soldiers as bait for Alan Hill.

...

"If we have enough troops to go south, then Faroud will be ours." Chris looked at the map with some regret, and sighed with his arms crossed: "Who would have thought that we fought so smoothly in this battle..."

"If Faroud is taken forcibly, our front will be stretched too long. Ammunition supply will be difficult, and Faroud will become a quagmire trapping us and a logistical nightmare." Wilkes Station Beside Chris, he said.

No matter which direction you look at, Wilkes is very similar to Frankie, the old general of the Arrant Empire: they attach great importance to defense, are willing to carefully calculate logistical support, and have their own troops.

They are all great tacticians, especially good at consolidating wins already achieved. The old and prudent strategy is their strategy, and their winning creed is that even if they don't want a chance, they won't give the enemy any chance.

"Yeah, the meat is simmered, but we don't have a fork ready... It's really confusing." Chris sighed again, and turned his attention away from the easily accessible but troublesome Farud City. .

Then he looked at Bourgeois, the officer stationed in Maricha. The two surrendered generals in Hanhai City were the most capable of fighting, and now they just supported the frontal Ailan Hill defense line: one was the then-Hanhai City Lord Wilkes, One was Bourgeois, the vice-general of Hanhai at the time, which is really an interesting thing to think about.

"Bourgeois, what do you think we should do with the surrendered Arlantean soldiers? Including those in the direction of Bude and here, it's not a small number." Chris looked at the other party and asked.

Although on the frontal battlefield, Bourgess and Wilkes confronted the Dragon Knights and the giant horse cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire head-on, and the fight was very exciting and exciting, but in fact the great victory of Ailan Hill happened. on both ends of the entire front.

In the far west, Koriya commanded his troops to defeat the Arante Empire troops that were counterattacking at the same time, captured at least 50,000 soldiers, and won a huge territory. The results were brilliant.

On the easternmost side of the front, General Mordelair commanded his troops to take the magic concentrate and control a large area east of Wallavor. In this battle, Ailan Hill obtained the most important magic concentrate resource and a valuable food production area.

You know, after this brutal war, seeing that the time has entered summer, and the harvest is imminent, it is also a very gratifying thing to have a new grain production area.

"Send the prisoners back to the rear to participate in infrastructure construction! After all, the shortage of labor in the rear is not a day or two." Bourgeois thought for a while and replied: "However, the training of the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered frontally is still the same. It's good, you can use it directly."

The lack of qualified troops is also a serious problem that plagues Ellen Hill, no matter how fast they expand their army, and finally, after suddenly occupying so many vast territories, their forces are again stretched.

There are already as many as 27 regiments of Ailan Hill troops. Now there are 10 cities and large castles that need to be directly controlled. In addition to the vast land between these cities, hundreds of thousands of Ailan Hill Grenadier troops are obvious. Some are rare.

Therefore, Chris really hopes that the more than 30,000 Arante Empire troops who surrendered can be used directly - he hopes that these soldiers can be scattered and subsidized to the expanded troops, so that they can be used in the safest way. These surrendered enemy troops.

"As far as possible, arrange these troops to the Wallawa area." After making some calculations, Chris said: "Stay away from the direction that the Holy Demon Empire may counterattack, and close to Arante, let them bully the soft first. Persimmon, it's good to build up some confidence."

"The rest is how to guard against the counterattack of the Holy Devil Empire..." Wilkes looked at the two cities on the west side and said to Chris: "The counterattack of the Holy Devil Empire does not necessarily only come from the south. ."

In fact, among the three mortal countries bordering the Holy Demon Empire, the Dothan Empire, which is the farthest away, is not to mention, and the closest ones are the Arrant Empire and the Higgs Kingdom. If the Holy Demon Empire wants to attack Alan Hill, it is actually a long way to go south to the Arante Empire, and it is closer to the Higgs Kingdom directly.

Moreover, after crossing the Higgs Kingdom, they directly entered the hinterland of Alan Hill, which is the most important and most industrialized Serris region. Directly attacking this area is the most fatal weakening to Alan Hill.

Furthermore, as long as the city of Serris is captured, Alan Hill will be cut into three sections that cannot support each other, and the battlefield situation will turn sharply. Therefore, for Alan Hill, the most important defense node has always been the city of Serris behind him. This is also the reason why the teaching group has been stationed in Serris City.
