Chapter 108: Death March

Although Lancet 12 had ordered the whole country to gather troops to retake the 7th Northwest Territory, this was not the case. Because Randster 12 had to recapture the 7th Northwest Territory at the same time, he had to guard against the other two empires and Warsaw alliances that took advantage of the situation, and sent a certain army to suppress the areas that had just been occupied in the past few years, so in fact, excluding the private soldiers of the dukes, the regular troops that Rinster really sent this time were only 4 group armies with a total of 40,000 people, which was just 1/3 more than the number of soldiers in the professional troops in the army currently led by Sun Lin, but in terms of quality, Sun Lin's 30,000 people were much stronger than Lanster's 40,000 people.

The Sunset Empire had 10,000 heavily armed swordsmen, hook scythes, and yoman longbowmen, while the Randster side had 10,000 Rincester's guerrillas and Rincester's hunters, as well as 20,000 Randshire hoplites. If you count it in terms of frontal battlefield, although the 20,000 ranged troops of the Lancester Empire have a certain advantage in terms of long-range firepower, in terms of lethality, it is indeed occupied by 10,000 elite longbowmen who are all at 4 stars. In terms of range and lethality, the longbowmen with armor-piercing ability can not only strike first, but also not stare at the heavily armored troops with short bows and short javelins, like those Lancester guerrillas and hunters. In terms of heavy infantry, the heavy swordsmen in Sun Lin's hands are also stronger than the Lancet heavy infantry, especially when Sun Lin's heavy swordsmen are all equipped with steel weapons, while the Lancet heavy infantry is only equipped with iron armor, iron swords and round shields, this gap has been widened, maybe 10,000 heavy swordsmen can't defeat 20,000 Lanster heavy infantry, but it is difficult to say in the case of England's two heroes and another hero, the Longbow Army, Even with the addition of the 20,000 semi-professional and militia ranged troops, it doesn't have to be. Heavy swordsmen and longbow troops are not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2, otherwise do you think the title of England is so easy to obtain? And you must know that there are 10,000 semi-heavy armored troops who are very good at mountain warfare in the hands of Sun Lin - Hook Scythe, maybe the Hook Scythe Soldiers can't defeat the Lancester Heavy Infantry head-on, but they can rely on their mobility much higher than the Lancet Heavy Infantry to detour to the rear to kill the Lancet's guerrilla troops, and even if the time is more accurate, it is uncertain to kill those Lancet hunters.

As for the miscellaneous soldiers, needless to say, it must be Sun Lin's 30,000 cannon fodder troops that completely destroyed the aristocratic private troops and militia troops on the Randster side. According to the secret report from the main city of Ranster, there are a total of 5 dukes and 4 counts who have joined the battle this time, which is also the 9 most powerful nobles in the Ranster Empire. Because the inland is the sovereignty of the royal family, so to a certain extent, the combined military strength of these 9 dukes and earls is not comparable to the combined military strength of the 7 dukes and earls in the northwest, and it can be seen from the fact that these 9 dukes and earls only handed over about 15,000 noble private soldiers in this war, which is also the only heavy infantry unit in the Lanster miscellaneous army. In addition, the 30,000 Lanster city defense troops in the militia force formed all the troops on the Lanster side except for the regular troops, but seriously, in fact, if you really want to fight, these 45,000 miscellaneous troops are not enough for 20,000 orc slave soldiers to play, and it is estimated that after these more than 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers see the tall body and murderous face of the orcs, it is estimated that it is still a question whether they will go into battle.

So if you really compare, in fact, Sun Lin's 60,000 soldiers on the frontal battlefield have a 70% victory rate and can defeat about 100,000 troops of Ranster, but this does not include speculation in the case of ambushes, because no commander will give up the opportunity to ambush, and no commander does not want to reduce losses as much as possible. However, after Sun Lin and his 60,000 men waited in a V-shaped valley for nearly a week, they saw the figure of about 10,000 troops of the Ranster Front marching from afar. After seeing this, Sun Lin immediately ordered all troops to pay attention, keep a distance of 2 or 300 yards from the Lancester troops as much as possible if the enemy could not find them, and wait for the orders from the long-range troops before launching a surprise attack. On the other side, Thebes and Lancester 12 rode their armies on smaller horses alongside their guards.

After Sun Lin killed the killer sent by Leinster 12, Thebes did not stay in the Sardinian realm, because he was arrogant, and if he stayed longer, the more suspicious Leinster 12 would be, and it was even very likely that he would find out that Thebes' wife and children had been secretly brought to the Sardinian realm by Thebes, and found that he was likely to have rebelled. So after thinking about it for a while, Thebes finally decided to play a scene with Sun Lin (before Sun Lin came back and started to attack, the previous officials of Thebes and the Sun Never Setting Empire all claimed that because Sun Lin was not in York, they could not carry out diplomacy), and asked Sun Lin to negotiate with Thebes in Sardinia, let a certain dead soldier who had prepared in advance pretend to be the original gold medal killer who was going to assassinate Thebes, but at this time his target was not Thebes but Sun Lin, and then Sun Lin escaped a thrilling catastrophe, Enraged, he killed some of Thebes' retinue (actually the eyeliner that Lancester 12 had planted next to Thebes), and drove Thebes out of the empire.

Lancet 12 was naturally very annoyed, but at this time he couldn't move Thebes in the country, and Sun Lin had pretended to be cruel when he expelled Thebes, asking Thebes to tell Lancet 12 that his troops would re-set off to attack the remaining 6 Northwest Territories, so that Lancet didn't have the energy to think about it at all. However, the emperor's mind is not so simple, after learning that the 6 Northwest Commanders have fallen, Sun Lin's army is suppressing the resistance everywhere, Lenster absolutely raised troops to counterattack at the same time thought of another way to solve Thebes, that is, let Thebes join the crusade army with himself with the fate of the royal family, and then randomly pick a siege battle for Thebes to take the lead, and let its "glorious" death in the chaos of the army, which is also for what Thebes will appear in the army of 100,000, The reason why Sun Lin was able to get the latest movements of the 100,000 army at once, and why the Lancet's counteroffensive army could advance so smoothly and quickly to the ambush point set by Sun Lin.
