Chapter 1265 Squeeze Out the Last Trace of War Potential

Gallic Dynasty, Vic City.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. With the strong rise of the Spanish dynasty, the Gallic dynasty has become the bottom of the six major European dynasties.

Therefore, Henry’s troubles are no less than William’s.

Although the Gaul Dynasty has 6 million players, 1 million more than the Gangdor Dynasty, its military operations in West Africa are also stumbling. So far, it has only captured a small country, Liberia.

For the Gaul dynasty, such a result is just a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough to change anything.

This is not a headache for Henry.

What worries Henry most is the poor geographical location of the Gaul dynasty.

In the southwest, the Gallic Dynasty and the Spanish Dynasty are bounded by the Pyrenees Mountains, and in the southeast and the Caesar Dynasty are bounded by the Alps Mountains, separated by high mountains, and belong to the same camp, so they live in peace.

But in the northeast, the Gallic Dynasty and the Germanic Dynasty both belonged to the Nordic Plain, and the vast and endless plain could not bring a trace of strategic buffer to the Gallic Dynasty at all.

Once the Silver Hand wants to encircle and suppress the Germanic dynasty, the Gaul dynasty will bear the brunt.

This is very passive.

Henry didn't believe the organization's nonsense, saying that it could be determined in one battle.

The German dynasty is not a soft persimmon. If it really faces the encirclement and suppression of the five great dynasties, it must fight to the death. The Gaul Dynasty, which is at the bottom of the strength and has no natural dangers to defend, is not the best target to attack.

In that way, the organization would benefit, but the Gaul dynasty might not be able to keep it.

Therefore, while the Germanic dynasty was actively expanding outwards, Henry had trouble sleeping and eating, but he was limited to the geographical situation. He was powerless to change anything and could only wait for the coming of the war.

Henry is looking forward to a turning point.

…………

September 15th, Beijing Normal University.

Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to take care of the European continent for the time being, until Dichen sent a memorial the day before yesterday, saying that he had arrived in Europe and would visit the six great dynasties one by one in a few days.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo did not hold much hope.

To tear apart the gap between the two organizations, Ouyang Shuo still needed an opportunity.

On the contrary, Zhang Yi's first round of negotiations with the Mongol Empire made Ouyang Shuo a little disappointed. Genghis Khan promised the Daxia Army to borrow the matter of the Wokuotai Khanate, but he was unwilling to let go of his dignity and return to Daxia.

Negotiations have stalled.

Ouyang Shuo was also very straightforward, recalling Zhang Yi directly, saying: "There is only one chance, the next time the Mongol Empire wants to talk, they have to send someone to the capital to talk."

What worried Ouyang Shuo the most was the Tubo war.

Over the past few days, the Great Xia's four-way army, regardless of sacrifice, fought to the death and continued to attack the city and pull out the village. They have already cut off the first line of defense in Tubo and obtained a stable base for advancement.

The two million Xia army finally set foot on the land of Tubo.

At the same time, the 500,000 forbidden troops of the Ashoka Dynasty, together with a large amount of food and supplies, also arrived in Tubo one after another. The war of the century between the two dynasties was considered to be a full-scale war.

Nearly four million troops will fight desperately on the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This battle blocked the national fortunes of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Ashoka Dynasty. No matter which side could bear the price of failure.

But because the starting point is different, the attitudes of the two sides are different.

The Ashoka Dynasty wanted to defend Tubo and defend its glory, so it fought conservatively and focused on retreating from the enemy. On the contrary, Daxia fought very aggressively with the cruel purpose of consuming the troops of both sides.

One attack and one defense, the effect is naturally different.

Under the unified command of Li Jing, and under the deployment of the four army commanders and generals, two million troops formed a black line, advancing from east to west.

No matter how many or how few enemies stand in their way, they are fearless.

Because the fighting was too fierce, the cities captured by the Great Xia Army were basically full of desolation, and some were even blasted into ruins by artillery, and the smoke was everywhere.

The Ashoka dynasty was also cruel. In addition to transporting grain and grass from the mainland, in order to save costs, it even scraped three feet in Tubo, and the whole Tubo was full of complaints.

On September 20th, a Tubo surrendered army attempted to rebel, but the Ashoka army knew about it in advance because of their secret plan. Instead, they fell into the trap of the Ashoka Dynasty, and all 50,000 soldiers were killed.

Fifty thousand heads were piled up on the outskirts of Luoxi city to form a super-capacity temple for people to watch.

As soon as the news came out, the whole of Tibet was shocked.

King Ashoka got the news and said: "Tubo is a different kind, and he doesn't know God's grace, so he should be killed!"

Incessantly, King Ashoka simply ordered that the Tubo royal family be slaughtered, and the entire Tubo was under military control, but all young and middle-aged men were forcibly recruited, either to assist in the defense of the city, or to be conscripted to transport food and grass.

Such crazy behavior turned Tubo into purgatory.

Crazy means does not mean that King Ashoka has no brains. From the attitude of the Great Xia Army, he has already seen that the significance of this war to the Ashoka Dynasty has long been beyond the scope of Tubo.

If this battle cannot be won, the Ashoka Dynasty will no longer have a foothold.

Ashoka was even worried that once Daxia won, he would take advantage of the victory and pursue it directly to the Ashoka mainland. Instead of this, it would be better to keep the enemy outside the country.

In such a situation, the life and death of the Tubo people is nothing to worry about.

"Everything is in the service of the war. As long as the war is won, even if all the people of Tubo are turned into slaves, they will not be able to resist. If they fail to win, everything will be suspended." King Ashoka said.

For this reason, Ashoka did not hesitate to wave the butcher knife to squeeze out the last trace of Tubo's war potential.

Ashoka's iron-blooded method had immediate effect.

With the smooth supply of logistics, the morale of the Ashoka army on the front line was greatly boosted, and they gathered in the city to defend. With the convenience of the location, they fought inextricably with the Daxia army.

Every time a city is breached, the Great Xia Army will have to pay a heavy price.

In order not to affect the morale of the army, the commanders of the four armies can only adopt a rotation system, with the legion as a unit, sending troops to the battlefield one by one, which is regarded as training.

Taking the right-wing Qin army as an example, there are five regular legions, and the remaining 150,000 are the reserve team.

What is the reserve team?

That is, when the legion is damaged in battle, it can directly replenish soldiers from the reserve team, and the full strength can be restored the next day. In this way, it can not only ensure that the legion is always at full strength, but also avoid low morale due to excessive casualties.

It worked.

The army that was in charge of the siege that day, although the soldiers felt that their companions were constantly being killed in battle, and returned to the camp at night, they never felt that the camp was empty, as if not many people died.

Although it is an illusion, it is very soothing.

In this way, early the next morning, the soldiers could regain their spirits, bring their new companions, and head to the battlefield with great vigor.

Under the tempering of iron and fire, those who can never die are the real elites.

This is cruel, but it is a real battlefield.

In fact, if you look at the overall situation, it will only feel more cruel.

Still take the right-wing army as an example. By the end of September, after nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Qin army's 150,000 reserve troops had no more than one out of ten, and they were basically exhausted, which shows the tragedy of the war.

This is still the elite of the Qin army, and the rest of the roads are even more unbearable. In particular, the Central Guard Army itself has only 380,000 people, which is only enough to reorganize four regular legions, and the remaining 100,000 people serve as reserves.

By September 25th, the 100,000 reserves of the Central Guard Army had been exhausted.

After paying such a heavy price, on October 1st, the three armies of the Great Xia Left Wing Army, the Central Guard Army, and the Central Route Army finally reached the city of Luoxie and joined forces victoriously.
