Chapter 566: Corot is Coming (Part I)
The Heavy Infantry of the Commercial Alliance is designed and formed according to the design of the Venetian Heavy Infantry of the original Realm, equipped with steel tower shields and war hammers made by the craftsmen of the Sunset, and the ranged troops of the Commercial Alliance are also crossbowmen equipped with tower shields and archers wearing plate armor and compound bows built in imitation of the Sunset Giant Shield Crossbowmen.
It can be said that the sun never sets is well known about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the commercial alliance, but even if this is the case, it is not an overnight thing to defeat the soldiers of the commercial alliance.
It has to be said that the army, which was originally formed to rebel against the future control of the commercial alliance, has now become an enemy who blocks the advance of its own army, which has to be said to be a farce.
Of course, at this time, in addition to being helpless and angry, Sun Lin was more curious, what method did the Water Qilin side use to win these four powerful forces and send troops to support them. Therefore, when he got the change in the battle situation in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, Sun Lin hurriedly ordered his spies to infiltrate the four powerful high-level leaders to find the answer, but the result was that Sun Lin once again saw the ability of the Water Qilin Emperor Auguste to make a decision.
In terms of winning over the snake tribe and the commercial alliance, in addition to persuading the high-level leaders of the two sides around the argument that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, August agreed very decisively to give the Nyar Mountains, which are rich in marble, the two most important mountain ranges of the Water Qilin Empire, and the second largest economic source of the Water Qilin Empire after the Qilin Horse, to the snake tribe, and ceded the five coastal cities: Mercury City, Star Water City, Pearl Harbor, and Hailan Fort, which is also the goal of the 1st Army of the Sun Never Sets to cede to the commercial alliance. At the same time, in order to show his sincerity, August also agreed that the business alliance could now be stationed in the five cities near the coast.
Because of the reason why the snake tribe is closed off from the country, in their opinion, the so-called army that never sets the sun is like the human army 10,000 years ago, and the water qilin side will send no less than 200,000 troops to cover them, so the snake tribe readily accepts the proposal of the diplomat of the water qilin empire.
In terms of the business alliance, the Water Qilin Empire has made such a big sacrifice, and the business alliance has been resentful for a long time about the sun never setting, to be precise, the sun does not set the commercial guild to seize their position in the king continent, plus they believe that the sun does not set this time to capture the Water Qilin Empire, then they will capture their business alliance city next time, and they themselves are facing a number of walking troops that are almost equal to the number of the sun never sets, strategically as long as they stick to the logistics that drag down the sun never sets empire can be victorious, Of course, the merchants of the business alliance are also very willing to gamble on this.
As for the two forces that are supposed to have a feud with the Water Qilin Empire to stand on the side of the Water Qilin Empire, August only used a few heads to do it, but these heads did come from the Water Qilin Empire, and they were loyal to General Auguste in the process of the previous purge, because they were the commanders who led the army of the Water Qilin Empire and invaded the United Kingdom of Aihuasha and the Kingdom of Mordan again and again.
Perhaps this will chill the generals loyal to August, but August doesn't care about it now, because if he doesn't, the Water Kirin Empire will most likely become history.
"The Water Qilin side is still pulling the power of the force, it is estimated that if it goes on like this, the power of the entire Western Regions will become the enemy of our great empire, although this is also something that will happen in the future, but it can't all happen at once." Saying that, Sun Lin frowned and looked at the giant sand table in front of him and said: "Although the 3 Duchies, Morta, Bona and others will not give the Water Qilin side military support, but the logistics can do it, if the other party fights a war of attrition with us......... Then it's going to be an impasse. ”
Sun Lin wanted to issue a killing order, in addition to deterring other forces, but also because if he recruited these people, the sun would not set on the side to have hundreds of thousands of mouths; Why did Sun Lin ask his troops to conquer the Cucodo Grassland and the Sharanmar Hills in such a short period of time? In the final analysis, it is to obtain a stable war front zone; Sun Lin didn't want to migrate those seemingly cumbersome Atlantans here, not to make these more obedient people migrate along the way, so that they could clear a convenient road connecting the Western Continent with the Northwest Territory of the Central Continent when the sun never sets, after all, there is a good saying: "There is no road in this world, and the more people walk, the more they come, the more they become the road." ”
In the final analysis, the biggest weakness of the army is logistics, and if a war of attrition starts, the biggest loss is that the sun does not set. In Sun Lin's own opinion, the combat ability of the soldiers of those countries in the Western Regions of the Central Continent is not at all the opponent of the soldiers on which the sun never sets, even the Lancet hammer soldiers of the second-line army may be able to kill two with one.
But the problem is that the Western Regions is the territory of these Western Regions countries, and the people here are theirs instead of the sun never sets, and if there is a war of attrition, the power of Xiyi can be completely like the woolly bear in the three major cities to deal with the Hans cat in the state of the tiger, and a few casual propaganda will pull out a vote of people, although the weapon equipped by this person is either a hoe or a plow, but this person's continuous attack, attack and attack, will definitely consume the burden of the sun that never sets, after all, the sun does not set now in the Middle Ages, The production line it has is not a star and a half worse than a pure early steam mechanized production line in the Enlightenment era, which can pull out thousands or tens of thousands of bullets and parts a day, and the hydraulic production line on this side of the sun can produce 50 stainless steel swords a day, which is already in a state of hormone.
Therefore, in Sun Lin's plan before, Sun Bu Xi wanted to capture the Middle Continent, or he would cripple the Water Qilin Empire at an extremely fast speed and force the Water Qilin Empire to surrender, so that Sun Bu would get the Water Qilin Empire, a territory with two mountain ranges as a natural barrier, would fall into the hands of Sun Bu and become a springboard for Sun Bu to invade the Western Continent in the future, of course, this plan is impossible now.
"We have to change our strategy, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if the army is defeated due to lack of baggage......... Well? How can there be content on the back? Just as Sun Lin put down the information in his hand about the 4 forces becoming the strategic ally of the Water Qilin, a text located on the back of the intelligence attracted Sun Lin's attention: "............ Corot? It seems that God wants to give me an opportunity! ”
