Chapter 777: Yang Mou (2)
The importance of Maginot has actually been subtly diluted by both sides during the months of fighting, because the Spider allies and vampire allies who never set the sun now only have more than 100,000 regular troops on the side of the frontal battlefield, and most of them are still remnants of the defeated army, and the Griffin Empire, which has more than 200,000 regular troops, is also very taboo about its enemies.
Because above the battlefield, there are no less than 5 legions of the Vampire Empire's huge knights, and even the Demon Bat Knight, who is said to be the strongest air combat ace of the Vampire Empire, has also been sent here; Hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, above the territory of the former Helgen Kingdom, the inhabitants of the underground world enslaved by the spider tribe, except for the cave people and the harpy, other guys like Evil Eye and Minotaur have established the first underground city of the underground people in the ruins.
If you include the troops of those allies of the Sunset Empire, in fact, the strength of the Griffon Empire's side is less than half of that of the Sunset Empire's side, and a large part of the reason why the Griffon Empire does not give up on Maginot is that it hopes to use this force that has already gained a foothold in the western region of the Central Continent to contain the army deployed by the Sunset Empire in Upper Maginot, as well as those armies that may go to the Upper Maginot War at the request of the Sunset Empire.
In the eyes of the Griffon Empire, it was best to do this, and although it put its 200,000 troops in a difficult situation, the watchtower formed by more than 200,000 people kept the army of the Lower Maginot One Million Griffin Empire safe on a very large distance.
At present, the two sides are on the battlefield in the lower Maginot area, and the situation is roughly that the Allied side has a numerical advantage. The side on which the sun never sets took advantage of the terrain and fortifications to form an advantage, forming a delicate balance with the Allied forces, and of course the overall tilt was slightly tilted towards the Allied side. And if the sun does not set to break this delicate balance, or if the sun does not set if it wants to destroy the Allied forces deployed on the Nizhny Maginot Line, then all that is done is to increase the number of troops, and not to increase little by little like the tactics of adding fuel, but to increase a force that can crush its own side with all its strength at one time.
Obviously, whether it was the remnants of George's troops at the eastern end of the Lower Maginot Line, or the cavalry army of Sunset, which might be redeployed in the distant future, were all passed at the beginning: the former numbered more than 10,000 men. But for the battlefield of more than two million people on the Lower Maginot Front, the people brought by George can only be used as cannon fodder, not even cannon fodder.
To know the frontal battlefield of the Maginot off. The troops invested by both sides are basically regular and above the basics, such as the heavy swordsmen who have reached 3 stars of silver stars and their equipment has been upgraded to silver, and the red swordsmen on the side of the Holy Light Empire have the ability to break the formation, and their defense and attack power have reached 24 points; The griffin hoplites from the Griffon Empire, armed with battle axes and knightly shields, can be said to be the elite armies of both sides. But it is these soldiers that what they are doing now is indeed almost the same as what the front-line cannon fodder troops do. This is because both sides of the previous battle have exhausted the cannon fodder troops, and it can even be said that there are almost no so-called light infantry troops on the battlefield now.
And what George brought, except for the longbow troops, which are extremely elite long-range troops, the rest are even the heavy hook scythes wearing half-body plate armor, they are all cannon fodder, and even because these hook scythes themselves do not have strong defensive capabilities and positional combat capabilities, their combat value in the lower Maginot is not even as good as the crescent spearmen recruited from the Atlanta territory, after all, the latter can form a solid spear formation. In the past, when the two sides were still lightly armed troops on the battlefield and consumed each other, unless the Allied side sent more elite heavy troops. Not even the average Allied hoplite army could break through the walls of flesh and blood of the crescent spearmen.
And the cavalry is needless to say, although the cavalry of the Sun Never Sets Empire is famous for being good cavalry on horseback, and good soldiers on horseback, but there is a specialization in art, and the knights who fight below may defeat the allied infantry who have been on the battlefield for a long time with hand-to-hand weapons and are wearing heavy plate armor that may be heavier than them, so don't talk about the allied side, in the opinion of Sun Lin, the supreme leader of the sun never sets, as long as his head has not been shown, It is impossible to dispatch the Sunset Cavalry Army, which is still fighting in the Southern Regions, to return to reinforcements, and can only fight street battles and city defense battles on the Lower Maginot Line.
And this makes the army of the sun that never sets on Maginot and the allied army of the empire of the sun never set become the only army that can change the situation of the battle in the lower Maginow, and in fact, it is really the case, in addition to the existing army of the sun that never sets on the Maginow, whether it is from the army of the vampire empire or the army of the spider tribe, it is a great threat.
Although the former army is currently exposed to the giant bat knight force in front of the world, the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of air combat troops must not be underestimated. In the air, these guys with huge bodies and powerful air combat capabilities are able to save zài, in addition to the giant bat knights also have a certain land combat ability, the most important thing is that if this force arrives in the lower Maginow, then the Allied forces will have no air combat advantage in the lower Maginot.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the addition of the Giant Bat Knight is just to bring the combat effectiveness of the air combat forces of the two sides to an equal level, for the allies who know the combat methods of the Imperial Army that the sun never sets, if they let the sun never set, even if it is just to maintain the air battle between the two sides in a relatively balanced state, then it will definitely become the beginning of the rout of the Allied army.
The extremely poor air combat capability of the Sunset Air Combat Force is known to all the forces in the King Continent, but the terrifying strike ability of the Sunset Empire's Air Combat Force on the ground troops is even more feared by the world, whether it is the Greek fire called the hell fire, or the mysterious liquid that can corrode a qiē away, or the iron and stone that blows a qiē away within the range, any commander as long as he is a normal person does not want these things to fall on his head, and it is still a large piece of it.
If the combat strength of the air combat forces of the two armies is maintained within a certain balance, the Allied commander can bet that the Sunset side will definitely fight to kill the Giant Bat Knight and the Royal Griffin Knight, and also rain on the heads of those who make the world fear. In fact, the allies were more worried that if the sun did not set, they risked exposing those terrifying weapons to the vampire empire and let the giant bat knights equip those guys, according to Sun Lin's words. The outcome of the implementation of the air combat troops of the Sun Never Setting Party on the ground troops equipped with these weapons is definitely the kind of storage that cuts from the South Heavenly Gate to the East Penglai Road.
The griffin empire's conjecture is completely the idea that the sun never sets, of course, the only thing they expected wrong was that the vampire empire could not know the ingredients of the investment weapons equipped by the royal griffin knights of the sunset, because the ingredients of the Greek fire and gunpowder are currently well preserved, and it will take at least a few years to decipher them with the research ability of the vampire empire's craftsmen, as for the corrosive potions produced by the goblins, needless to say, The Vampire Empire costs at least half of the lives of the country's vampire artisans. And it's the kind of ending that can't even keep the bones when it's dead, so that the goblin can be drummed up, and this kind of crazy person can make a product.
In the Spider Army, although the troops of the Spider Clan themselves rarely appear on the battlefield, the Griffin Empire has no way to know the combat effectiveness of the real elite troops of the Spider Clan. But the Spider's slave forces are not to be underestimated, whether it is the Minotaur on the front line in the battle of Upper Maginot, the evil eye of the Yin people in the street battle, or the Harpy entangled with the air combat troops. They are all extremely combat-effective arms. The most important thing is that there are indeed many of these aliens (after all, the allies, whether they are the Gryphon Empire or the Divine Light Empire, rule only less than half of the territory and territory of the Plate Continent, while the Spider Race really rules the population of the entire underground world).
If the army of Upper Maginot is really allowed to enter the battlefield of Upper Maginot without anyone knowing, then the Allied forces that cannot immediately withdraw back to the battleship and retreat to the periphery of the coastal area can only end up being completely wiped out by the Empire of the Sun and its allies, which is why the Griffin Empire would rather pay 200,000 lives in exchange for the latest situation on the Upper Maginot Line.
It's just that the allies have made a lot of calculations, and they would not have thought that the supreme leader of the empire on which the sun never sets, and came up with an extremely vicious plan that is very poisonous for both their side and the allied side. And if this plan is actually implemented, even if it is already planned to withdraw from the battlefield. Even some of the troops who had already retreated to the small island they had previously occupied, the Holy Light Empire troops, had to return to the Lower Maginot battlefield again.
"What did you say, Your Majesty? Are you going to completely abandon the Maginot Line? In the huge council hall in the central castle, when Sun Lin said his thoughts on the next battle situation of the Maginot Line and the future course of action, all the high-level executives present showed an unbelievable look, and George directly interrupted Sun Lin's speech and said loudly after Sun Lin had just said the name of the real implementation plan of this plan: "Your Majesty? Why did we defend the Maginot Line so desperately before? What's the use of building this massive defense? Let's start fighting those guys on the coastline! ”
"If we do that, do you think our current army will be able to reach a more balanced state with the regular Allied forces than it is now? And how could we have consumed so many of the enemy's forces before that and maintained the majority of the battle all the time? How could the dwarven army of the Divine Light Empire be wiped out by our side by chance using only mountain troops? George, do you remember what the Maginot Line was all about? ”
“……… What you said at that time was that the Maginot Line, or all the defenses built by our empire, was not for defense, but for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. After a moment of silence and calming down his feelings, George whispered.
"Very well, then I will tell you now, if we give up the Maginot Line now, we will be able to get the opportunity to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, because whether it is the right time, the right place, or the right people, we already have it now, you know? To lure a greedy wolf out of its burrow, it is necessary to throw a piece of meat that it cannot refuse, and when the greedy wolf pounces on the meat, although he has a hard head and sharp teeth on the front, his side is very easy for us to find an opportunity to kill him.
