Chapter 133: The Fallen Coastal Zone
In the next few hours, due to the Naga warriors and fish-man sword and shield warriors who had been lurking in the port area launched a surprise attack on the capital of the Duchy of Morse, which was empty of internal defenses, the Morse and their leader, the Duke of Morse, who were dazed by the combined blows from the inside and outside, immediately announced their unconditional surrender, and in this way, the new round of invasion of the sun never set was a good start, killing more than 3,000 Morse soldiers and capturing more than 1,000 people when the human soldiers were injured and the Sea Clan soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than 1,000 people were captured, including its leader. And the territory of the Duchy of Morse was included in the territory of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
But Sun Lin was not satisfied with this, but ordered the whole army to rest for a day, and the next day after a small fleet in the Northwest Fleet transported thousands of Italian militiamen and officials of the three imperial departments here, Sun Lin commanded 70,000 soldiers, and the sea tribe soldiers, along the coastline of the northwest continent, in the way of both land and water armies, rushed towards the next coastal principality, and also cleaned up all the bandits along the way.
Sun Lin's army sailed into the bamboo, but this was only the tip of the iceberg of the new round of aggression of the Empire, and the troops led by Sun Lin were only responsible for occupying the principality of York in the direction of the western continent. On the other side, the Yorks led the coastline to the North Continent, where the battle began after Sun Lin captured the Duchy of Morse.
But unlike Sun Lin, since only the main force of the Northwest Fleet was responsible for York's leadership to the northern continent, when the battle in this area began, there were no giant shield crossbowmen outside the cities of the coastal cities that were attacked, and there were no Papal Guards, so let alone counterweight trebuchets, but outside the port areas of these cities, there were no less than 40 small and medium-sized warships, among which there was a Holga flagship that could compete with large warships.
Of course, compared to the siege warfare in the area that Sun Lin was responsible for, the siege warfare in the area under the responsibility of the Northwest Fleet Commander Orso was relatively boring, and it could even be said that it was the same from beginning to end - first let the torsion trebuchet installed on the Galie battleship, and the giant crossbow equipped with the bow of the Holga flagship destroy the opponent's port defenses, and beat the defending soldiers who came to support without a trace of temper, so they could only hide under the ruins of the port area and tremble, and then let the Naga warriors play the vanguard, and the fish-man sword and shield warriors will be the support and reserve army to take the city, the most rear, like Sun Lin's side, first opened a warehouse to release grain to appease the residents in the city, and then waited for the transport team to evacuate the city after the arrival of the Italian militia troops and the officials of the 3rd Imperial Department, and set off towards the next goal, as for the bandits around the city, they didn't care about them.
Regardless of Orso, he was not worried about what damage those bandits would cause, because both Orso and Sun Lin believed that the Italian militia they sent to station would handle these things well, because the advanced body of these town militias was fully capable of undertaking this task, and those bandits who were equipped with the same combat effectiveness as ordinary peasants, and whose equipment was equal to nothing, were not at all the opponents of the Italian militia units equipped with short spears and small steel shields, wrapped in light chain mail, and inlaid with leather armor. There is no use other than to give these militiamen combat experience.
In the next time, about 5 days, a city will be breached by Sun Lin or Orso, including several small principalities nominally attached to the Mars Empire and the Michael Empire, of course, due to the infiltration of roads and intelligence networks, etc., the news that these principalities were captured by the Sunset Empire did not reach the ears of these two empires until more than 2 weeks later, as for the Warsaw Alliance, which was farther away than the imperial cities of these two empires, it was vigorously obstructed by the intelligence network personnel established by Thebes, I didn't receive this news until early May, and at that time, all the principalities that owned the sea in the northwest continent were wiped out, and only 3 defensive capabilities remained, even the Duchy of Morse, which was previously captured by Sun Lin, was even worse than the pitiful kingdom. It can be said that it is only a matter of time before the sun never sets on the empire to occupy all the coastal areas of the northwest continent.
PS: Among the four major forces in the original Northwest Continent, only the Lancet Empire has a sea frontier. The remaining 2 empires and 1 alliance are landlocked, and they generally obtain resources from the sea, either by purchasing them from the Ranster Empire or from tribute from their own principalities.
"Bump!"
"The sun never sets, the empire is simply too deceitful! I'm going to send troops! I'm going to send them back to the New Delhi Peninsula! In the bright and spacious hall, an old man wearing a blood-colored robe (don't think that all emperors are wearing yellow robes, that is the characteristic of the Chinese nation) knocked on the table in front of him angrily, although the face of the national character is full of scars and traces of time, but his momentum is no less than a young and strong tiger, this person is the 58-year-old emperor of the Mars Empire, known as the Mars Scar. Klebend.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, although the Sun Never Sets Empire is indeed hateful, if Your Majesty sends troops at this time, you will enter the full set set by the young Sun Never Set Empire!" When Klebold said that he was going to send troops, on the right side of him, a middle-aged man wearing heavy chain mail immediately stood up and persuaded him.
For the person who suddenly stood up against him, Klebold not only did not get mad after glancing at him, but took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked the middle-aged man, "General Bill, what do you mean by this?" Wouldn't it be possible for me to send troops to get justice for those principalities attached to the Mars Empire? ”
"I'm afraid it really won't work, my majesty, do you remember the treaty called "Peaceful Coexistence in the Northwest Continent" that you sent representatives to the Fort of Nabiliga last September?"
"Of course! Of course I remember, and it was precisely because the Sun Never Sets Empire broke this treaty that I sent troops to attack the Sun Never Set Empire? ”
"But Your Majesty, you should know that the only signatories of this treaty are our Mars Empire, the Sun Never Setting Empire, the Mishaal Empire and the Warsaw Alliance!"
"But the sun never sets on the Empire, aren't they already destroying the Northwest Continent............ Wait a minute! I see, Your Excellency, what you mean is that in fact, there are only four potential forces for the signatories of this agreement, which means that this treaty is limited to the four potential forces for signing the treaty............ If I send troops at this time, it will not be the Empire on which the sun never sets, but our Mars Empire that will break the treaty! ”
"That's right, that's what I mean, and if we send troops, I estimate that it will not only be the Sun Never Setting Empire that will fight back, but also those hateful mountain monkeys and profiteers in the basin will definitely join, and I estimate that they will stand on the side of the Sun Never Set Empire." General Bill looked at Clebold in front of him and smiled bitterly.
