Chapter 826 Running In

In this case, Chief Hai Ridong can't be careful, he can only be careful and careful, and try again and again.

The whole process can be regarded as a model of a battle of wits and courage, with both sides racking their brains.

One side is trying their best to delay the time as much as possible and withdraw their own soldiers. If they can cause a little more casualties to the other side, that would be great.

The other side wants to take down the line of defense with the least cost, and it can't be cheated, and it's best to wipe out the other side.

It took Chief Hai Ridong two full weeks to take down all the key fortresses on the east road of the Duanmai defense line.

At this time, Sophie Liya had already safely withdrawn the soldiers of the broken pulse defense line who had been fighting fiercely at the front line for three weeks.

Originally, there were more than 80,000 soldiers stationed on the front line of the Duanmai defense line on the East Road. By the time Sophilia organized the retreat, there were less than 50,000 wounded and disabled.

They belonged to the defenders, and they had the convenience of a large amount of black powder, a sharp weapon for defending the city. The blood cavalry from the right army went up from time to time, and they still suffered more than 40% casualties, which shows how fierce this battle is.

Sophilia streamlined the retreating soldiers of the Broken Vein Defense Line. All the old, weak, sick and disabled were sent to the rear for resettlement, leaving only about 25,000 strong and strong soldiers. These are out-and-out veterans, although It can't compare to the unparalleled blood knight in the world. In this world, it is also one of the best and among the best.

As long as they are given a few weeks of recuperation, they can become the mainstay of Sophie Liya's command. With them as the foundation, a 100,000 army can be formed, and the combat effectiveness is above the normal level.

The method is very simple, it is the most traditional one, where one veteran leads three to four recruits.

Those veterans will train those recruits hand in hand, so that they can avoid many detours and have a greater chance of saving their lives on the battlefield.

As long as they have experienced a few more battles and survived, they will naturally lose their halo as recruits and become qualified soldiers.

These veterans of the Broken Vessel Defense Line all came here in the first place.

When Chief Hai Ridong took down the Duanmai defense line and rushed forward in a large scale, Sophilia had already set up a position 30 kilometers behind the Duanmai defense line, ready to fight.

The 100-kilometer east road of the Duanmai defense line was even cleared by Sophilia. All personnel and materials suitable for the Odin orcs to plunder were all withdrawn together with the disabled soldiers withdrawn from the Duanmai defense line.

This is not a difficult task. This place is either the grassland irrigated by the Duanmai Mountains, or the Gobi Desert where Man Yu's army has just entered a state of recovery.

The residents of the former are half-nomadic and half-farming. Even if they were not forced to evacuate, when they heard that the broken line of defense had been breached, the residents here had already spontaneously ran in the direction of the Byron Union.

Many of them know very well how brutal the Odin orcs are in the state of war, because many of them are Odin orcs and half-Odin orcs who escaped from the Odin orcs.

The hatred of the Odin orcs towards them is still above the Byron Alliance.

If it falls into their hands, it is absolutely impossible to survive or die.

The latter is relatively sparsely staffed. Although the Manyu military leader has entered a state of recovery in the past ten years, the fastest place is along the Jacob River, and the population is mainly concentrated there, especially the Countess of Angelbena. Other places are still sparsely populated.

Although the Eastern Army of Theodin Empire took down the broken line of defense, the situation seemed to have become more embarrassing.

The chiefs around Chief Hairidong gathered together and studied for a long time.

They have two choices.

One is to completely abandon the east side, keep a small part of the troops, rely on the broken line of defense, drag Sophilia's troops to death here, and then move the main force of the Eastern Army of Theodin Empire eastward.

Together with Ulan Bari and the others, they formed a pincer attack on the west side formed by the new royal court. I believe that even if their defense line is not completely torn apart, it will bring great pressure to them.

Another option is to gather heavy troops and fight Sophilia head-on. As long as she is completely defeated, in a short period of time, the entire east will no longer be able to organize effective resistance.

They will be allowed to drive straight in and fight all the way to the Jacob River. At that time, they can go down the river and rush to Valesta, the headquarters of the new royal court, and then attack the new royal court's defense line.

"Compared to the second tactic, theoretically speaking, the first tactic is better and safer.

Clenched a fist and gathered all the power to have the greatest power.

This is the truth that even the most uneducated farmer understands.

Victory is a glorious victory. All the Odin orcs will sweep down and eat half of the territory of the Byron Alliance. They can push all the way to the Jacob River, and no one can stop their iron hooves.

A defeat is also a small defeat within the controllable range. They are the active side of the attack, they can control the rhythm at will, and they have enough maneuvering advantages.

But this is only the most rational choice, but human factors often play a more important role in it, especially when power struggles are involved.

Ulan Bari is known as the ZTE Lord of the Theodin Empire. After he took office, he has been promoting centralization, strengthening the rule and control of the tiger royal family over the major tribes, allowing himself to grasp more rights and the right to speak, which is convenient External expansion.

Facts have also proved that his decision-making is correct. It is precisely because of his centralization method that he has gathered the powerful tribes represented by Skambari, Harichagai, and Erileheke to his side. own use.

It was only then that he could unstoppably dismantle the Eastern Odin Empire to pieces. Without the intervention of the living dead led by Narentoya, he would have completed his great cause of unifying the Odin orcs.

There are gains and losses.

Ulan Bari's approach also violated the original vested interests within the Theodin Empire. It is not surprising that some people stood up to oppose it. Among them, Chief Hai Ridong, the commander of the right army, was the leader.

To be more precise, the entire right-wing army is the meddlesome product of Ulan Bari and these old forces.

In normal times, there is nothing wrong with Ulan Bari's compromise.

Eliminating these opposing voices, he has a more comprehensive and handy control over the central main force and the left army.

But at this critical moment, this drawback is undoubtedly exposed.

If the army on the right chose the first tactic and went to support the army on the left, even if they achieved a brilliant victory, it would be Ulan Bari's, not Hai Ridong's.

Therefore, I conclude that even if he knows that the second tactic is not a wise choice, within two weeks, Hai Ridong will still lead his army out of the customs and fight us decisively. "

The one who made this kind of analysis and judgment was none other than Kelman, the main chief of staff of the Yong Ye army leader. He is now in the pre-war meeting held by Sophilia, and they are also thinking about how to fight this battle in the future. Well planned.

"What your Excellency the Chief of Staff said is too absolute." Ms. Amelia frowned slightly, and said in disapproval, "Every move they make now determines the future life and death of the Theodin Empire, maybe Chief Hai Ridong In view of the current tense situation, the overall situation is the most important thing. We would rather fulfill Ulan Bari’s reputation than support the West Road? If we stand still and let them form a pincer attack on the West Road, the Wangting’s new army will be defeated, and our pressure will also be reduced. will greatly increase.”

"If Chief Hai Ridong was such a reasonable person, he would not be in his current position, and the situation would not develop into what it is now. As early as when Ulan Bari completely broke through the Western Front, he would have led The Eastern Army has gone to support, why bother to break through the Eastern Front?"

Chief of Staff Kelman analyzed Chief Hai Ridong's psychology layer by layer, "I didn't do this for credit, and I didn't want to be overwhelmed by Ulan Bari, especially in this kind of situation. When the Undead Empire resisted and its reputation further declined, I believed that he would drag Ulan Baz back instead of helping him."

The military staff headed by Yong Ye, represented by Kellman, has never been purely planning affairs, but also seeking people.

In their eyes, an army like Theodin Empire, where the supreme commander has supreme decision-making power, is easier to deal with.

As long as you can grasp the character of their supreme commander, you can roughly grasp the trend of their future military operations.

"There are too many speculative elements in your speculation, and it cannot be used as the basis for the next action. You must know that every decision we make now involves the lives and deaths of thousands of people and the destruction of countless families." Ah Milia is still full of distrust of Kelman's analysis.

"What is conjecture? Everything I said has a definite basis. It comes from the past investigation of the high-level Theodin Empire, the summary of Chief Hai Ridong's past behavior and judgment, and the conclusion drawn. As for the basis of judgment, I really don’t know what can be used as a basis for judgment, so is it possible that Ma’am still wants to see the layout of Chief Hai Ridong?” Chief of Staff Kelman expressed a bit of helplessness in his tone, “Even if there is , do you dare to believe it? Are you not afraid that it is the other party's scheme?"

There are great differences and disagreements between the two sides in terms of communication and acting styles. It is okay to say that once it comes to such an important military discussion, some unnecessary misunderstandings will often arise.

Ms. Amelia is considered to be the wave of Byrons who have dealt with the leader of the Eternal Night Army the most. If she is like this, others can imagine.

Many Byronians can't bear the seriousness and rigidity of the Evernight people.

The Eternal Night people also couldn't understand the sloppiness and inefficiency of the Byron people gathered under the banner of Sophilia. The only ones who could make them take a high look were probably the Broken Pulse soldiers who were also professional soldiers.

Kelman was well aware of Amelia's influence on the lord's wife, Sophilia, so he sarcastically explained, and patiently explained: "Our military analysis itself has elements of gambling, and now it's just what I said This possibility is more likely. Maybe the chiefs of the right army headed by Hai Ridong suddenly realized that for the sake of the overall situation of the Theodin Empire, it may not be necessary to go to support Ulan Bari. Now we just put what we think The possibility of winning the bet is picked out, and the specific judgment to be made still needs to be decided by the madam."

Sophilia smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Now it's just a military analysis. Everyone can speak freely. There is no need for Amelia to be serious. The chief of staff's analysis is not unreasonable. I believe that when he said this, he would already be able to collect We have obtained all the information about the Theodin Empire that we have obtained, and it is better to use it as a basis than to have our eyes blacked out."

"Perhaps what the Chief of Staff said is correct. This area is not my specialty. I shouldn't interrupt rashly. Princess, Chief of Staff, you can continue." Amelia took advantage of the slope to stop entangled in this issue. .

Lady Amelia's role as Princess Sophilia's number one confidant has not changed with her resignation as Lancelot's regent.

When Sophilia gave birth to Anne in the northern fortress, she, as the governor, supervised the military and political power that controlled the princess's fiefdom.

She has participated in all the major decisions and administrations of Sophilia, and she is also the direct supervisor of the princess fiefdom. Her agency can ensure that Sophilia's policies are implemented and will not be artificially distorted.

Facts have proved that Amelia has lived up to Sophilia's trust.

Compared with the rapid development speed of Yong Ye's army leader, the development of the princess fiefdom in the past four or five years is quite satisfactory.

But compared to other territories of the Byron Union, it has always been on the fast track.

Many Byrons like to compare the plains of Asia Minor to a pearl of the continent of Arshan, so the princess fief is now its essence.

The Eternal Night Commander is now temporarily implementing one-college and two systems for the princess fief, and the princess fief has become part of the Yongye Commander. This is an undeniable fact.

It is quite normal for the princess to be able to enjoy some good things that belonged exclusively to the Yong Ye army leader.

In particular, some scientific research achievements related to people's livelihood that are not highly confidential, will be the first to be promoted outside of Yong Ye's army leader.

In the minds of most Byrons, the princess fief is still the inherent territory of the Lancelot royal family. The Eternal Night Army Commander, a new force that has just risen, just took the opportunity to cling to the royal family. , Wait until the royal blood flowing in their family blood is strong enough.

The entire Eternal Night Army will become part of the royal family, and many families use this expansion to annex territories.

Therefore, their rejection of the princess' fief is far less strong than that of the Yongye Army Leader. They are eager for all kinds of new things that flow out from here, even if the real source is the Yongye Army Leader.

In the end, the princess fief took the strengths of the two families and became the link for further trade between the Byron Alliance and the Yongye Army Leader, and the prosperity naturally soared.

When Sophilia raised the flag to reorganize the east, Governor Amelia was naturally the first to raise the flag to respond, and once again became a general beside Sophilia.

But returning to Princess Sophilia again, Amelia could clearly feel the changes in Sophilia.
