Once the lair of these local lords of the Mannheim Delta is attacked, it will be difficult for them to continue to stay in the northern army, and they will definitely have to go back to defend their homes, which is tantamount to forcing the northern country to divide its troops, and it will also cause people to panic.

Don't look at the 400,000 Imperial troops and the 420,000 Northern Army, but the regular Imperial Army has reached 250,000, only 140,000 are private troops, and the remaining 10,000 are player troops. The regular legions of the northern side are only 180,000, and after removing 10,000 player troops, the remaining 230,000 are the lord's private army, of which more than 180,000 are the local lord's troops in the Mannheim Delta.

These local lord troops in the Mannheim Delta are very strong in the Mannheim Delta, although they do not have the same high level of discipline and cooperation as the regular legions, but in terms of individual combat effectiveness in the quagmire terrain are much higher than the regular legions, and the quagmire terrain is not very easy to cooperate, so the overall combat power of these local lord troops in the quagmire terrain is not worse than that of the regular legions, and even some of the stronger lord troops are stronger.

This is also the reason why in the first act of the battle, the lord's private army on the left wing of the imperial side is obviously the superior side at the beginning, but it is at a disadvantage when it hits the back, and the lord's private army on the imperial side is not as effective as the regular army on the quagmire terrain, let alone the stronger local lord's private army.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Boppard Plain was too far away from the center of the northern kingdom, the supply lines were too long, the quagmire terrain was inconvenient to supply, and it was still relatively close to the Empire's controlled area, and the empire had never launched an active attack on the Mannheim Delta region after possessing Slatsburg, otherwise it would have been impossible for the northern side to ignore such an important strategic point as the Boppard Plain.

In fact, the North's reaction was fast enough, the Boppard Plain was relatively close to the Empire, and the Empire was the one who took the initiative to attack, but as soon as the news of the Empire's build-up of troops in the city of Catperry, the Northland immediately responded, and the Northland Advance Army rushed to the vicinity of the Boppard Plain in a relatively short period of time and engaged the Imperial Advance Army.

Of course, there is the factor that the northern side has the advantage of the landlord, the local lord can provide supplies and serve as a guide, the lord's private army can also be quickly gathered, and the player army does not need to be assembled, in fact, it is the 10,000 regular army of the northern country that really rushes away. But in any case, the importance that the Northland side attaches to the plains of Boppard is evident.

In fact, except for Yun Xiaohan's one, the other 49 northern sides achieved their goal, and even if they failed to defeat the Imperial Advance Army, they successfully prevented the Imperial Advance Army's strategic intention to capture the Boppard Plain.

It was precisely because of the importance of the plain of Boppard that Yun Xiaohan's excellence in the first act of the battle became more and more crucial, so that he could be valued by the Count of Sachs and introduced to the Prince of Condé.

After reading the plot, Yun Xiaohan appeared directly in the camp of the Prince of Kongdai, in addition to several of Prince Kongdai's personal guards in the camp, only the Prince of Kongdai and the Count of Sachs were there.

It seems that this is just an informal reception, but it is not surprising that Yun Xiaohan is just the captain of a team of 100 people, and no matter how great his merits are, it is impossible for many officers to line up to welcome him.

Prince Condé had obviously learned the situation in detail from Count Saxe, and after seeing Yun Xiaohan, he first praised him, and then promoted Yun Xiaohan, this official is naturally not a title, but a promotion in command during this campaign, Yun Xiaohan can only bring 100 players, but now he can bring 500 players.

But the personnel Yun Xiaohan can't choose by himself, he can only be arranged by the system, but according to the previous rules of the composition of the hundred-person team, Yun Xiaohan feels that the system should arrange all the members of the Ling Dome Pavilion in the battle to himself, and the rest of the candidates are relatively close.

The captain of the 500-man team is a middle-level officer, although he can only bring 500 people in this battle, and he will be gone in the next battle, but the more people he brings, the more exploits Yun Xiaohan can share, and this resume will not disappear, and it will also be recognized by NPCs in the real game world and other battles in the future.

However, if it was just a promotion in the line of fire, Prince Condé would not need to meet Yun Xiaohan alone, and he would just let Count Sachs pass an order, so there must be something else.

Sure enough, after being promoted, Prince Condé mentioned another matter.

"Viscount Yun Xiaohan, you first helped the Empire obtain the Sardinia Territory, and then made a great contribution to the capture of the Boppard Plains, your loyalty to the Empire does not need to be questioned, so there is something that can already be told to you."

Prince Condé paused and continued: "Actually, before launching this campaign, His Majesty and I were not too sure, after all, the terrain of the Mannheim Delta was not very suitable for our army to fight, so before the battle, we contacted the Zia Khanate to discuss the possibility of joint operations.

Although the Zia Khanate did not have a coastal area, its northeastern line was near the sea, but the temperature of that coastline was too low, and it was frozen for 9 months of the year, so it could not be used as a port at all, so the Ziya Khanate had always hoped to obtain an ice-free port as an outlet to the sea.

Bordering with the Zia Khanate is only the Leo Cult and the Gard Empire, and the Leo Cult and the Zia Khanate are divided by the Rhine River, the Zia Khanate was originally dominated by nomads, more than 60% of the population is nomads, there is no navy, only a very small river fleet, and the opposite bank of the Rhine is the Bamba fortress of the Leo Khanate of the Leo Sect.

Bampha Fort is located between two mountain ranges, so that neither side of the fortress is threatened, and Bampa Fortress is known as the 'Untrapped Fortress', making it the strongest fortress on the continent of Yar.

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 no way to take the Bampa Fortress, and the Bampa Fortress could not be taken, so it was naturally impossible to take the Leo Sect State, so the Ziya Khanate could only fight the idea of the Garde Empire, which had a long border with its own country.

When we were at war with the Garde Empire, they probably had an idea, but they still wanted to continue to wait and see, hoping that we and the Gard Empire would consume a little more from each other, and they would come out to pick up the bargain.

Therefore, when we sent people to contact them, although the Ziya Khanate was very tempted, it was unwilling to leave early, and even if it was willing to leave, it was very demanding.

Not only the areas conquered by the Zia Khanate themselves will belong to them, but they will also have a share of the Mannheim Delta.

They probably felt that without them, we would not be able to take the Mannheim Delta, so they opened their mouths, how could the empire agree to such an unreasonable demand, so the matter of joint operations was so deadlocked. (To be continued.) )
