Chapter 170: The Battle Report of the Cavalry Troops
When the news came out that the Willcott Fortress, which had passed through no less than ten times but had not been breached once, had not been breached once, and had become the fortress of the Sunset Empire under the destruction of the new siege weapons of the Sunset Empire, the three empire-level forces in the Northwest Continent were all stupefied.
What is the Willcott Fortress, which is known as the most difficult fortress in the Northwest Continent, according to the human thinking of the Northwest Continent, unless there are 200,000 elite troops in the number of no less than 100 catapults to break it, but the Sun Never Sets Empire only used 60,000 troops who had just been drawn from the previous defeat of the Michael Empire's army, and even some of them were still lightly wounded soldiers in about 1 time, the first fort in the Northwest was taken, which means that before the sun never sets, There is no difference between having walls and not having them.
However, the most intense reaction to this matter is not the Michael Empire (because they can't receive this news at all, the reason will be explained later), nor the Warsaw Alliance, which is fighting with the main force of the Mars Empire and being abused by the cavalry troops of the Sunset Empire, but the Mars Empire, which just signed a strategic cooperation with Sunset more than 2 weeks ago, but it is no wonder, because if they did not sign this treaty in time before, It is estimated that the second to taste (the Duchy of the Northwest Continent Coast is the first) this new weapon called the counterweight trebuchet will bombard not the fortress of Wilcot, but the imperial city of the Mars.
And secondly, it was not the Michael Empire, because after learning that the Sunset Empire had this kind of first-attack weapons that only the Middle-Continent Empire had, the Warsaw Alliance, which had been beaten by the 30,000 cavalry of the Sunset Empire, finally issued a policy of clearing the wilderness, and all the territories of the Alliance, especially those villages and towns in the territory where the Warsaw Alliance's main trade roads existed, anyway, as long as the inhabitants of the places where wood was used as the material of the city wall, all moved to the cities or castles with stone walls, because if they were not doing so, Then the Warsawians will be exterminated.
From the beginning of July to the middle of July, in less than two weeks, the cavalry units that never set gave full play to the characteristics of cavalry, first penetrating from the small cities on the edge to the inland territory of the Warsaw Alliance, slaughtering and setting fire to the fields everywhere along the way, and then encircling the six armies of the Warsaw Alliance from the central area on three sides, hoping to eliminate them, or at least drive them out of the inner territory of the alliance.
But the problem is that (in the tone of the Warsaw people) this group of sun-setting people actually made a dangerous move, directly when the nearly 70,000 troops on three sides were not surrounded, they took advantage of the night to reach the first largest river in the Warsaw Alliance, the Oslera River, crossed the river with the help of the ebb and flow of the riverbed when it was about to bottom, completely ignored the undercurrent hidden in the low riverbed, and bypassed the 30,000 troops in front of them when the first rays of sunlight hit the earth in the sky the next day, and raided the banks of the Oslera River the next night, the largest grain production base of the Warsaw Alliance. When the 70,000 Warsaw Alliance troops reacted back to support the Findel Basin, the long-gone cavalry unit had burned the place to the point of no life, and there were patches of yellow, charcoal-colored earth ash everywhere.
And after that, the empire of the sun never set played the Warsaw people again, and when Bobby was less than 300 kilometers away from the main city of the Warsaw Alliance, he actually made a big turn to change the original goal of destroying the Warsaw Alliance trade line to the rear, and the rear referred to here is nothing else, it is the Warsaw Alliance territory close to the Central Continent that has not been attacked for nearly 400 years.
Due to the previous misjudgment, all the Warsaw generals agreed that it was impossible for the Imperial cavalry to go deep into the rear of the Warsaw Alliance at the risk of unfamiliar terrain, no logistics, and unsuitable cavalry combat areas, but the problem was that Bobby really did this, like a blunt knife about to pierce the heart of the Warsaw Alliance defended by countless "ribs", but the hand that controlled the direction of the knife suddenly broke and stabbed the weakest rib that did not even have a single rib.
The Great Rear of the Warsaw Alliance, which had been supplying lubricants to the war machine of the Warsaw Alliance, turned into a living hell in a single day. To put it simply, the Warsaw Alliance's proximity to the territory of the Middle Continent is equivalent to the rear of the Warsaw Alliance, which is equivalent to the Warsaw Alliance's industrial area. After hundreds of years of development, the population here is dense, and agriculture and animal husbandry are extensive, and light industry and heavy industry (that is, iron and clothes weaving) are developed. According to Sun Lin's words, if such a good place is not ravaged a few times, it is too sorry that the sun does not set. Therefore, General Bobby and his 30,000 cavalry insisted on the all-light policy as the core, and swept from the east to the west, burning all the rice fields and houses that could be seen on the way, and killing all the livestock and human beings.
Under such a blow, all the horses of the Sunset Cavalry Force were physically and mentally exhausted, and many fine horses were run to death on the way, if it weren't for the Warsaw Alliance having cavalry troops, and there were more horse ranches in this rear area, Bobby could carry out an all-light policy and plunder some horse food and horses at the same time, it is estimated that the Sunset Imperial Cavalry Force would have turned into an infantry army at this time. Of course, at the same time, Bobby also completed the massacre task assigned to him by Sun Lin here: use 30,000 cavalry troops to kill the Warsaw people and the Warsaw Alliance as much as possible, and at this time, when the Warsaw Alliance finally decided to implement the policy of retraction, Bobby's cavalry troops have killed about 150,000 civilians and soldiers in the Warsaw Alliance, of course, of which civilians account for nearly 1/8, which also makes the history of the conquest of the Sunset Empire draw a thick bloody stroke.
However, Sun Lin did not get any news about Bobby's cavalry unit at this time, because he did not have time to find out. According to the original plan, at this time, Sun Lin had replaced the professional troops that had been withdrawn from Di'an City to the checkpoint between Fort Biliga and Warsaw Alliance with two hook and sickle armies and a long group army, and personally took command and led this 50,000-strong army towards Magaburg, where Sun Lin would continue to replenish the troops, so that those 40,000 troops who had been slightly injured in the battle in Magaburg and had now recovered were reinforced, and of course, the 20,000 soldiers who were seriously wounded would continue to stay in Magaburg to recuperate.
The Sunset's army, which has expanded to 90,000 men, will rendezvous with the 60,000-strong army of Andert at Fort Wilcot to carry out a siege and annihilation battle that will wipe out all the professional troops of the Misharid Empire at once.
