Chapter 686: Lion VS Golden Phoenix (15)

PS: 4000 words today, tomorrow I will go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival and start to make up the number of words, and I currently owe a total of 6000 words

As the snowflakes in the sky finally stopped falling, and the sun never set in the middle of January of the 10th year of the new calendar, everyone in the Western Regions of the Central Continent ushered in a short snow-free week, which should have been a lucky thing for everyone, but judging from the current situation, it was not so lucky because the fleet of the Great Empire of Divine Light was staring at the Western Regions of the Central Continent near the island of Avadano Island, and the heavy snow stopped falling, which also represented the natural barrier created by nature for the people of the Western Regions of the Central Continent- The fog and blizzards at sea are about to disappear. In fact, just as people from all walks of life in the Great Empire of the Same Day imagined, on the third day after the heavy snow stopped falling in the sky, the fleets of the Great Empire of Divine Light were almost fully dispatched, of which the first and second fleets were killed in the Lasman Islands, and the third, fourth, and fifth fleets rushed to the Enoch Islands, and these five fleets almost met their enemies in about 3 to 4 days - the two fleets that never set on the sun on the ocean or around the archipelago, and the sparks of battle were sparked in an instant.

Of course, in fact, the so-called battle spark between the two sides was just a brief confrontation between several Galie warships and Beagle warships, and the battle between the so-called fleets did not start immediately, because the Holy Light Empire was a newcomer to the army, and the Holy Light Empire had no time to understand the geography of the Lasman Islands and Enoch Islands due to the existence of the blizzard before, and now the blizzard at sea has finally stopped. Of course, the Holy Light Empire will take this opportunity to conduct a reconnaissance of the two islands and even test the defense capabilities of the two islands, in addition, because the weather in the inland sea is also uncertain, so the sailors of the Holy Light Empire also need to conduct a systematic investigation of the weather conditions in the surrounding areas of the two islands in the next few days. to cope with various situations encountered in the coming days.

"How's it going?" When the herald returned to the battleship Judgment in a small boat. Bruno and Sivano, who had been waiting on the Ruling for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What is the weather like in the next few days?" What is the situation now in the defensive vacuum zone of the two fleets? What is the situation of the two fleets on which the sun never sets? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, let's talk about it on the map." The herald said to Bruno: "The present situation is somewhat peculiar, and I estimate that only on the strategic map can I inform His Excellency the Commander and His Excellency the Captain of the Fleet Shivano. ”

"Let's go, then." Led by the two captains of the Great Empire of Divine Light, the herald with important information arrived in the command room of the Judgment Seabreaker warship, and under the watchful eyes of Bruno and Shivano, he retrieved a spare strategic map of the Maginot Line on which the sun never sets, which had not been marked by any markings.

"Your Excellency, Captain Shivano, judging from the information gathered by the old sailors in our army in recent days, the weather will be very sunny in the next few days, even in the next week or two, but it is worth mentioning. The last week or two has been sunny, but it has been cloudy to be exact, so when the war comes, we need to be careful of the Royal Griffin Knights, who are air combat units that can fight for long periods of time in the cold winter high altitudes. Add to that the fact that these Royal Griffon Knights are equipped with asphalt clay pots designed to deal with wooden-hulled warships, and most importantly, our Angel Legion is no longer in our service at the moment. In such a situation, we must always keep an eye on the top of our group of ships when fighting. Otherwise, when we are attacked by those griffon armies, we will not even have the ability to fight back. ”

"You're right, we have to watch out for the griffon armies." Bruno nodded.

"In addition to this, the other good news we have received so far is that the Sunset Fleet is currently in the same position as the previous information, and its two fleets are located in the waters adjacent to the Rasman Islands and the Enoch Islands. And that so-called vacuum zone does exist in the current domain. The herald said with a serious face.

"Then why are you putting on this look?" Bruno said with a puzzled expression.

"For two reasons, the first is that according to our intelligence, this vacuum area has been discovered. But even in this case, the Sunset Fleet did not send a fleet to the vacuum area, and even secretly issued an order to all the captains of the Sunset Fleet to not allow all warships to sail in this area. And if that's all there is to it, the most important thing is the second reason - after repeated confirmation by our intelligence department, our intelligence department has determined that if our fleet breaks through this area, then the general guarding the lower Maginot Line, which is closest to our fleet, will be the Emperor Sun Lin of the Great Empire of the Sun Who Never Sets, who is on an equal footing with the Griffin Emperor among the most hateful enemies in the history of our Holy Light Empire! ”

“……… Is he confident enough to do that? After a moment of silence, Bruno muttered in a voice that everyone could hear, but then he said to himself: "No, although Sun Lin, the emperor of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, is very confident, he is not confident enough to directly face the main force of the army of nearly 700,000 people carried by our Divine Light Great Empire, unless this guy has some hole cards........."

"Your Excellency, don't you think there is a very similar thing to the battle of Georgetown? At this moment, Sivano, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said to the herald and Bruno, and Sevano's words directly caused the two of them to fall into deep thought.

The Battle of Georgetown that Shivano mentioned was a time when the original Griffin Empire was still a kingdom, and at that time the Turkic Empire was at its most glorious and it would be the time when it immediately fell into the abyss - a million Turkic cavalry army rode on the largest fleet in the history of the King Continent and landed in the middle of the Central Continent, where all the powerful forces of the King Continent wanted to fight, and the Battle of George Town took place on Wednesday of the third week when the Turkic army landed on the King Continent.

At that time, the Turkic army relied on the army configuration of pure cavalry troops to capture 1/6 of the territory of the central region of the King Continent when the countries of the King Continent had not yet reacted, and the defense capabilities of all the coastal lines of the King Continent were in the weakest stage. Of course, in fact, these territories are only the areas plundered by the great Turkic empires, and the only ones that are really controlled by the great Turkic empires are a few geographically important cities, the main roads connecting the various regions of the plundering areas, and the coastal areas that the great Turkic empires first occupied: needless to say, those important cities, as for the roads, the most basic and important facilities for the cavalry of the great Turkic empire to quickly move in various regions, The landing area is the administrative center of the Turkic Empire connecting the middle region of the Central Continent and the western region of the Central Continent - the Turkic Imperial City (and now it is the dense forest area of the Western Regions of the Central Continent inhabited by the bear monster clan), but it is worth mentioning here that the millions of troops who entered the middle region of the Central Continent at that time were all gathered together, and those who so-called guarding the cities, coastal cities and roads were just slave soldiers belonging to the army of the Great Turkic Empire.

Although the great Turkic Empire developed very well in the early stage, with the passage of time, when all the countries in the Central Region of the King Continent reacted. The countries of the King Continent have erupted with a counterattack ability that even the great Turkic Empire is very frightened: it is no wonder, after all, the countries of the Central Continent were formerly the central area of the Human Alliance, and here is where all the essence of the Human Alliance was located back then, although after the Human Alliance collapsed due to internal and external troubles, it was divided up by nearly a hundred large and small forces. But when these nations are gathered, aren't these essences gathered again to a certain extent? On the other hand, on the side of the great Turkic empires. The predecessor of the Turkic tribe was nothing more than a famous cavalry general in the Human Alliance. Relying on the luck and cohesion of the sky to create a strong empire in a short period of time, of course, this is just a nice statement, if it is changed to a more ugly one, then the Turkic king of the year is just an explosion of wealth.

So something that was almost unimaginable to the Great Turkic Empire happened: as the time of the Great Turkic Empire's invasion of the Central Continent reached the third week, the countries of the Central Continent almost all abandoned their previous grievances in a short period of time, and in a short period of time, nearly half of the countries were condensed into a monolith. And under the leadership of a prestige and talented general, he instantly pulled up the same number as the Turkic Empire, although the arms are very mixed, but the combat effectiveness of the small war group and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, including equipment, can completely destroy the army of any kind of army of the Turkic Empire, and the most important thing is that the countries in the middle of the Central Continent generally do not choose to destroy the infrastructure in the battle (every inch of land in the Central Continent is extremely fertile, and it can almost be regarded as an inch of land, The powerful bosses of various countries will not be ruthless to let the soldiers destroy their own golden lands or be favored by themselves). Therefore, when the war began, the biggest advantage of the Central Continent countries over the great Turkic empires was that they had extremely complete logistics lines.

In addition, the countries in the middle of the Central Continent also rely on their own side of the terrain attributes, of course, the most important thing is those potential allies who were invaded by the Turkic Empire and turned into slaves (the purpose of the Turkic Empire at that time was that non-Turkic people were their own slaves, so the Turkic Empire was already in a semi-paralyzed state before attacking the Central Continent, as for why the Turkic Empire chose to attack the Central Continent at this moment, the reason is because the contradictions within the Turkic Empire have been irreconcilable, Now the only way to solve the problem is to borrow the external force to exert pressure on the internal force, and the most effective way is to start a war, a big war: a war can not only make the internal problems temporarily frozen, the most important thing is that in the chaotic war can remove some hidden dangers, and the acquisition of territory can also suppress some hidden dangers, in addition to the deterrent effect brought by the war to the country can also cause some effects, of course, from the results of the calculation of the Turkic empire is wrong, And the hidden dangers within the Turkic Empire also made the Turkic Empire collapse when the original Griffin Empire counterattacked and landed in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, just capturing the Vadano Island in the coastal area, if it were not for the rise of the Celestial Dragon Empire at that time, the territory of the original Griffin Empire would have expanded to the Western Regions of the Central Continent)

Under such circumstances, the army of the Great Turkic Empire was soon besieged on 3 sides by the million-strong army of the Central Continent countries that counterattacked, and its retreat was almost cut off by those rebellious slaves, and the most important thing was that the area where the Great Turkic Empire was located at that time was a mixed terrain of dense forest areas and hilly areas plus farmland areas, which was very unfavorable for the Great Turkic Empire with pure cavalry troops (at that time, the attack time of the Great Turkic Empire was just after the spring farming season, and the farmland was full of renovated soil, which was easy for the horse's hooves to sink in, So at this time, the farmland area was a dangerous place for the Turkic Empire, and by the way, in the Battle of Agincourt, which made the longbow troops world-famous between England and France, the longbow troops relied on a small number of longbow troops to defeat the French heavy cavalry with stakes and high ground in front of the farmland area), in addition, the soldiers in the army of the Turkic Empire at that time were all soldiers who fought for several weeks in a row, and they were more or less wounded, or they were also the kind of people who were tired and vomited blood, The Turkic soldiers in such a state could not fight with the soldiers of the Central Continent and the Central Regions who were in good condition, so the situation of the Turkic army at that time could be said to be extremely unfavorable.

But under such circumstances, the war that seemed to be inevitable defeat was turned into victory by relying on the army formed by the pure cavalry troops against the large army formed by the countries of the Central Continent under an extremely crazy decision of the Turkic king, the Battle of Georgetown.

Under the leadership of the Turkic king, the light cavalry troops on the Turkic side relied on the fighting method of fighting and retreating, while slowly retreating backwards, relying on the forests they passed through on the way, hiding batch after batch of Turkic light cavalry, and leaving after leaving with the spearheads of millions of lions in the Middle Continent, perhaps because of the existence of the Turkic king, or because the Turkic king was making these Turkic light cavalry evacuate in small teams without interruption. Therefore, the troops composed of the countries of the Central Continent and the Central Regions who were carried away by the fruits of victory did not search those dense forests, of course, the main reason was that the Turkic king, who was extremely ruthless at the critical moment, actually let all the heavy cavalry in his hands, including the heavy archers, kill his war horses, and abandon the corpses of these war horses on the way along with the baggage among them, so that the Central Continent side did not have any doubts about the decreasing number of Turkic armies. Eventually, when all the heavy cavalry of the Turkic Empire arrived at Georgetown, all the Turkic light cavalry had already withdrawn and began to assemble in the rear of the armies of the Central Continent.
