Chapter 693: Lion VS Golden Phoenix (22)
PS: Merge with the previous chapters that were updated in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the huge camp, Bobby, who had unloaded his battle uniform, entered the camp under the escort of two centaur warriors, and sat down next to the long-awaited voice of Uda Khan in the camp.
"How's it going, Your Excellency." After pondering for a while, Bobby decided to use the official title to talk to himself, who was already nominally his brother (Bobby and Uda's sister had been married at Christmas last year, and in June this year, the royal physician personally tested that Uda's sister was 1 month pregnant, and it is worth mentioning here that Andelt's child had actually been born a long time ago, and now has an age of 4 years and almost 5 years old, Although the little guy did not inherit Andrett's military talents from the current point of view, he did inherit his grandfather's talents in intelligence gathering: it is no wonder that who called Andrett to fight outside all the year round, and this little guy was raised by Thebes and Andelt's wife from childhood to adulthood? Of course, this was also exchanged for Uda 's strange gaze, but it didn't take long for Bobby and Uda Khan to look at each other when they were interrupted by a sunset diplomat and a centaur diplomat who had stepped out of the tent.
"Are the diplomatic talks over?" Seeing this, Bobby paused and then leaned his body closer to Uda and then whispered to Uda in his ear, "How can it be so fast, doesn't it mean that there are still members of the Blackstone Dwarven Kingdom and the Machine Empire coming here?" ”
"At present, there are only diplomats from the Centaur clan in this meeting, and the reason is because the work of the Blackstone Dwarves has been done well, after all, the Blackstone Dwarves have not even been rooted in the southern region of the Central Continent for less than a hundred years, and they have been living in the cracks of the major forces before, and now there is good news for them to migrate to a stable zone, so it is strange that they do not agree; The Machine Empire, on the other hand, has so far rejected our proposal on the surface. Of course, the mechanical empire is due to the mechanical empire's own internal reasons, and I don't think it will be long before it knows that it will become something that other powerful forces will be used to extinguish fire, and the mechanical empire will understand the importance of holding the thigh of our empire on which the sun never sets. Uda whispered to Bobby: "Anyway, the Blackstone Dwarves and the Machine Empire are just additional targets, now we can drag these centaurs in front of us into the water first, and the rest will be talked about later, anyway, we just ambushed the first round of attacks from the attackers in the middle of the Middle Continent, and there will be a second and third rounds in the future." ”
"Also, judging from the situation when you came, has the centaur tribe made a decision now? Or is it ............ The Centaur tribe chose to abandon the previous proposal? Bobby asked.
"What do you say?" Uda asked rhetorically, "Now the centaur clan has signed mercenary terms with the mercenary guild owned by our great empire. And before that, the warriors of the centaur tribe also appeared in large numbers on the battlefield where our army clashed with the cavalry of the Holy Light Empire, and now even if the centaur side quibbles, they can't change their army and become the minions of our Great Empire, for the powerful forces of the Holy Light Empire, will they still let the Centaur tribe stock up in this case? ”
In fact, as Uda Khan said, when 50,000 centaur warriors came out of the battlefield in the southern region of the Central Continent, it was impossible to "separate" the centaur tribe from the great empire on which the sun never set. And for an army of cavalry that can keep the sun setting, there are 50,000 more cavalry in an instant, and it is 50,000 heavy cavalry. The most important thing is that there are 50,000 well-equipped heavy cavalry whose combat effectiveness can be compared with many powerful elite troops. As long as it is the enemy of the side of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, then it will definitely not let this powerful force survive in the world for too long.
It is worth mentioning here that since the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets intended to spread some information on the side of the Holy Light Empire, now the side of the Holy Light Empire has already known the way, and the craftsmen who built the Lower Maginot Line are the dwarves and dwarf craftsmen of the Machine Empire, and the iron products and steel products of the Sunset Empire are consumed by the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom in the southern regions of the Central Continent. At the same time, while Sun Lin asked the intelligence department to leak this information, he also leaked the expiration time of the agreement between the Sunset Empire and the Blackstone Dwarves and the Mechanical Empire, of course, in order to make the Holy Light Empire feel in crisis, the expiration time was originally changed from September of the 10th year of the new calendar to September of the 11th year of the new calendar. , so that the Divine Light Empire is fully convinced that if the Southern Regions of the Middle Continent is not eradicated now, how much impact will it have on the future war between the Sunset and the Divine Light Empire, so among the Divine Light Empire and other forces that are hostile to the Sunset Empire, the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom, the Machine Empire, and the Centaur Tribe have already become the thorn in the side of the Divine Light Empire.
As for what is the reason for the Great Empire of Divine Light, the Great Empire of Divine Light does not use diplomatic pressure to divide the power of the Mechanical Empire and the Great Empire of the Sun, don't you see that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has already mobilized hundreds of thousands of cavalry troops to the southern region of the Central Continent? Speaking of pressure, who can compare to the side of the Great Empire now, and drive hundreds of thousands of cavalry troops directly under these powerful imperial cities to have a deterrent effect?
"Then I'll tell you about the arrangements for the centaur clan in our empire where the sun never sets." When a tall middle-aged centaur wearing battle armor but no weapons walked out of the camp and came to Uda in front of him, when Uda changed from a general of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets to Prince Cuman, who was full of royal momentum, while starting to talk to the middle-aged centaur man, Uda also put out a map of the Nat Plain in the northwest of the Central Continent and placed it in front of the middle-aged centaur, and talked to him in the centaur language used by the centaur.
The conversation didn't last long, and after Uda said a few words and handed over the information in his hand to the middle-aged centaur, after Uda and the middle-aged centaur who looked a little helpless, but were expectant, hugged each other, the mission from Sunset left this centaur gathering place under the eyes of the centaur diplomats, of course, the chiefs of the centaur branch.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be able to speak centaur language?" Since he left the area where the performance was to be performed, Bobby did not need to continue to maintain his official appearance. began to call his wife's brother "affectionately", of course, everyone knows that Bobby's voice was hoarse when he was on the New Delhi Peninsula, so in fact, although Bobby talked to Uda in a cordial tone, his cordial tone is really not something that ordinary people can feel, but at least Uda, his sister, and Sun Lin can, and this is actually enough.
"Centaurs were one of the eight branches of the Turkic Empire 10,000 years ago, and the only one of the eight Turkic branches that did not belong to the human race, although nearly 10,000 years have passed, the eight branches are no longer monolithic, and some of them are even opposed. But no matter what, at least the ancient Turkic language of the Turkic Empire, the members of the eight branches have still used it to this day, in fact, the Cuman language of our Cuman clan is the Turkic language, but because of the passage of time, and the fact that our Cumans themselves have some dialects when they speak. This is why our Cuman language is slightly different from the pure Turkic language. ”
"I see, brother. What did Sun Lin give to the centaur tribe in the Nat Plain? If I'm not mistaken. Isn't the plains of Nat already overrun by the Horse Herders and the Dark Elves? ”
"There is still an undeveloped piece of land at the junction of the Northwest Ice Sheet and the Nat Plain, although the weather there is a little cold, but it is said that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has prepared enough charcoal, clothing and tents...... Oh yes, the Blackstone Dwarves of the Blackstone Dwarven Kingdom were ready to evacuate. The road between the Blackstone Dwarven Kingdom and the Lower Maginot Line has also been built, and the next period of time is just the time for the Holy Light Empire to rest, and it requires us to transport as many Blackstone Dwarves as possible to the Western Regions of the Middle Continent during this time, and you know that our Cuman tribe is suitable for moving on the plains. Coastal forest areas like that.......... so I guess I'll leave the escort of the Blackstone Dwarves to you. ”
"Okay, I'll let the members of the Field Order who suffered the least losses in the previous battle go to escort the Blackstone Dwarves first, and after a while, I'll send the Dick Cavalry Regiment, I think the number of two cavalry regiments should be enough, right?"
"How do I know about the Dao? After all, we have to see if the troops of the Holy Light Great Empire located at the junction of the Western Regions and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent will be allowed to go, and if they want to come to collect tolls, then I guess we will have to increase our troops. ”
"Huh? Isn't that path yet to be discovered by the Divine Light Empire? Moreover, the road that was trapped at the junction of the Western Regions and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent was found on the side of the Holy Light Great Empire, and even before that road, the defenders of our side of the sun and the advanced troops under the arrangement did not touch them, in this case, we should not be so vigilant, right? Bobby said jokingly, but in exchange for a serious expression and the English word "NO!" ”
"No, in fact it is a sure thing to increase the number of troops on this road, and it is very likely that we will also have our cavalry warriors engaged in the battle on foot." Uda Khan shook his head and said: "Compare, this is the news that Sun Lin Mian just passed on before, because you have been in a hurry before, so the war eagle that passed on the information to you has also found me, and now you have time, you can take a good look at the emergency situation of the previous period of time." ”
"Let me see what kind of unexpected situation it will be, and we will actually change the policy that we have been planning and preparing for nearly one year or so." As he spoke, Bobby took the information from Uda Khan's hand about the situation of the cavalry unit on the Sunset Side, and the reason for the transfer, and gradually learned about what had happened in the recent war between the Sunset Empire and the Divine Light Empire.
According to the plan drawn up earlier, when all the combat forces of the Divine Light Empire launched an attack on the Lower Maginot Line, which was on the side of the Sunset, the First and Second Fleets of Sunset, which were previously located in the Lasman Islands and Enoch Islands, began to prepare to withdraw to the northwest region of the Central Continent and the southern region of the Central Continent. The best way to do this is to divide the fleet into several parts and let these troops withdraw in turn from the maritime battlefield in the western regions of the Central Continent.
But what the Sun Never Sets Fleet didn't expect was that the time for them to retreat was just right with the two surprise attack forces sent by the Divine Light Great Empire. The time of the junction between the southern region of the Central Continent and the western and southern regions of the Central Continent is the same, that is. It is very likely that the fleet that the sun never sets has already been discovered by these two fleets carrying the dwarven legions and the Knights of the Cathar of the Holy Light Empire, so in this case, the fleet that the sun does not set has no choice but to choose to wipe out all these two fleets as soon as possible.
Originally, if it was just like this, it would be nothing, after all, it was not too difficult to exterminate this kind of thing for the fleet of the powerful Empire, but the problem was that there were many good things, and Orso, the captain of the Second Fleet, learned that in the midst of the fleet of the Divine Light Empire, one of the fleets of the Great Empire of Divine Light. After the Dwarven Legion witnessed a surprise attack by the Sunless Fleet on the transport warships carrying it, the Sunless Fleet Captain was worried that the news of the Dwarven Legion's withdrawal would be exposed to the side of the Divine Light Empire, so he asked Sun Lin to hope that the Sunset Army located at the junction of the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent could be here to wipe out the Dwarven Legion, including the pilgrim legion and the sailors of the Holy Light Empire.
Obviously, this situation that could threaten the future counterattack of the party on which the sun never sets made Sun Lin's idea the same as Orso's. And the more than 20,000 troops who were randomly located between the western regions of the Central Continent and the southern regions of the Central Continent, which were relatively good at mountain warfare, received information about the extermination of the more than 100,000 troops in front of them, which were almost composed of super-heavy infantry troops.
Mountain troops are considered heavy troops. To a certain extent, it is not considered the most regular hoplite. Not to mention that these irregular hoplites are going to fight with the super-heavy infantry of the Holy Light Empire-Dwarven Forge Warriors, and this is also the Sunset Soldier located at the junction of the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the Southern Regions of the Central Continent. But after all, there are no troops that can compete with the enemy's heavy troops on the battlefield!
As for what Wu Da said, the road that provided the Blackstone Dwarves to evacuate to the Western Regions of the Middle Continent would be discovered by the side of the Divine Light Great Empire. Or why did Wu Da want to connect the dwarven legion that annihilated the Great Empire of Divine Light with this road hidden in the depths of the dense forest, at that time, because this road was actually a bait, the source of a method that could eliminate the dwarven army of the Great Empire of Divine Light the fastest at present: the dense forest area between the western region of the Central Continent and the southern region of the Central Continent where the dwarven legion existed, an area where even the Sunset Army, which had compasses and other discerning equipment, could lose its way after walking here. In such a situation, if the dwarven legion insists on playing hide and seek with the side that the sun never sets, and scatters the troops in this area to find an opportunity to spread the news of the sun never sets fleet, the sun does not set on the side really can't take the side of the Holy Light Empire, after all, it is absolutely impossible for the sun to set to catch all the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire, Moreover, there is no guarantee that there are carrier pigeons on the side of the Holy Light Empire (although the side of the sun does not set can use the griffin knights to hunt the carrier pigeons, the size of the approaching carrier pigeons is small, and the griffin and griffon knights cannot always patrol the sky over this area, you must know that the griffin knight troops of the Griffon Empire are about to descend on the Maginot Line).
In such a situation, the side that the sun does not set must find a way to force this dwarven army out, and the only condition that can force this force out for its collective action is only one, that is, a large amount of food: through the previous attack on the warship of the Holy Light Empire, the sun does not set the side learned that because the time of the previous attack was just right, most of the materials equipped by the dwarf army on the side of the Holy Light Empire were left on the beach and turned into ashes in the erosion of Greek fire, Therefore, the sun never sets on the side to learn that the dwarven army of the Divine Light Empire they are facing is currently in urgent need of food, grass, fresh water and other materials to supplement the needs of its daily soldiers for these necessities, and it is obvious that the sun does not set on the side to take out their own things to tempt this army, because these materials are not only reserved for them to face the army of the Divine Light Empire in front of them, but also for them to face the enemies who will attack in the future. Therefore, the sun never set, and the party hit the idea on those Blackstone dwarves who evacuated to the Western Regions of the Central Continent with their families.
"Wouldn't it be too ......... to do this" After putting down the information in his hand, Bobby said to Uda with a somewhat ugly face: "Although those blackstone dwarves are all aliens. But after all, these aliens are civilians, so wouldn't it be too ......... for these civilians to be shields?"
"It's so inhuman, isn't it?" Wu Da continued: "But this is war, you have studied at the Royal Military Academy where the sun never sets for a year, you should know that the basic doctrine of battle propagated by Sun Lin Mian is that there are only winners and losers in war, and the only way to achieve victory is to compromise the means, Bobby, you must know that behind Sun Lin Mian is the power of a large empire with a population of more than 100 million, if you sacrifice a part of the people in exchange for victory, for the sake of those 100 million people, Sun Lin Mian will definitely make this choice now, And Sun Lin is not the only one who made this choice. Several other generals, including myself, agreed. ”
"Really?" Bobby said with a little loss and self-deprecation: "That's right, didn't I slaughter tens of millions of civilians of the empire for the victory of the empire on which the sun never sets?" I didn't expect that I would feel pity for some civilians now, and it seems that I am becoming more and more unsuitable to be the commander of a great empire on which the sun never sets........."
Before Bobby could finish his sentence, Uda reached out and patted Bobby on the shoulder and said, "No." You're still the best commander of the empire, but after so many years of conquest, you just have some feelings. When this battle is over, you can go back and rest for a while, and you'll be fine. And I forgot to tell you one thing: because this battle to lure the enemy into the depth is a bit difficult, and if we simply use the civilians of the Blackstone Dwarves, not only will our plan not succeed, but it may even cause the battle to be reversed by the side of the Holy Light Empire because of the scattered people, so we have talked to the Blackstone Dwarves for this plan, and the Blackstone Dwarves have said that they will expel the Blackstone Dwarven warriors owned by the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom to disguise themselves as those civilians. to ensure the success of this operational plan. ”
At the same time, the Lower Maginot Line was in the area guarded by Sun Lin............
"Little ones, use all the weapons of war you have in your hands to drive these heretics out of our territory! For God's sake. For the sun never sets! "At the sound of the orders of the officers who never set, the defenders of the sunset located in the acropolis somewhere of the Lower Maginot Line, under the command of an officer of the rank of commander of the Sunset, began to operate the three war equipment on the walls of the Lower Maginot Line, which had been completely established, to carry out fire strikes against the warships of the Great Empire of Divine Light in the distance.
With the powerful crossbow guarding the city, the No. 2 gun, and the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet, the powerful side of the sun does not set in a short period of time, it has formed an impermeable fire network on the calm sea, and any light warship of the Holy Light Empire that enters the fire network is sunk by the solid iron bullet and the giant javelin fired by the giant crossbow of the city before it rushes to the beach, and even the medium-sized warship of the Holy Light Empire, the pilgrimage warship, may not be able to withstand the blow of the firepower network formed by the side that never sets. It is estimated that only heavy or super-heavy warships such as the Holy Light Ship or the Dinghai Battleship can withstand the firepower network that does not set the sun, and it is difficult to say how long it can withstand it.
But despite this, the Divine Light Empire still relied on its fearless spirit, or several times the number of the Sunset Empire, to force the firepower network formed by a large number of Sunset War Machines that countless Bakpo armed warships broke through, so that countless soldiers of the Holy Light Empire and the improvised war equipment carried by the armed transport ships could land in the beach area around the Acropolis, or in the port area inside the Acropolis.
For the Divine Light Great Empire transport warships that landed in the port area, there is really nothing the sun does not set on, after all, it is already a dead end for those sunset war equipment, and for those Holy Light Great Empire warships that land in the beach area, the sun does not set on this side has a trap that makes all the Holy Light Great Empire warships very headache-stone horses.
This kind of imitation of the obstacles used to resist the landing of tanks and assault warships on the beach in the 2nd battle of the original world, although the size of the Bakpo armed transport ships of the Great Divine Light Empire cannot be small, but when these things are stacked on the beach, they can be extremely effective in blocking those Bakpo armed transports that want to make the battleship ram the beach landing, or those assault boats that come down from large warships and rely on small boats and oars.
In such a situation, these stone obstacles not only forced the soldiers on the transport ships of the Holy Light Empire to have to travel in extremely cold waters for a period of time after disembarking from the ship at a rapid pace, but most importantly, many war equipment that threatened the Lower Maginot Line, such as improvised siege towers and light torsion trebuchets, could not be transported to the beach for operation, so that the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire landing on the beach could only rely on ladders. Ropes and so on climb the walls so tall that you can't help but shiver when you stand on them, and don't forget to use these most primitive climbing weapons, the rockfall wells on the edge of the walls, which have been converted from battlements, do not agree.
"For the Light! Come with me to storm this wall and kill the infidels. "Although the chance of attacking these walls was less than 10%, in such a situation, the Divine Light Empire's side still launched one attack after another against the first section of the Lower Maginot Line with the simplest siege weapons.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire who landed in this acropolis also suffered from the unprecedented counterattack ability of the Divine Light Empire: although the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire who entered the Acropolis avoided by the intertwined firepower network formed by the sunset war equipment, but after entering the port area, they fought with the soldiers of the Sunset Empire in the complex urban terrain, which also meant that the soldiers of the Divine Light Empire had to fight with the soldiers of the Sunset Empire in the acropolis.
It's not that the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire are not suitable for street fighting, you must know that the troops who use weapons like halberds themselves have a great advantage in street fighting, because the dense battle formation composed of halberd soldiers can achieve the effect of being a man and a man in street fighting.
But the problem is that the sun never sets, not to mention what kind of troops it has that are good at street fighting, just because the sun never sets on the side of the great empire has a single Greek fire jet device is enough to turn everything around. (To be continued......)
