Chapter 116: August

After selling a large number of obsolete iron weapons and armor to Millaire at a black market price, Sun Lin immediately began to start the construction of the expanded Yorks and the newly established Normandy Territory, while General Leo was responsible for leading the cavalry troops to clean up the mobs and rebels in the two territories, and on the other hand, began to strengthen the training of these feudal knights to adapt them to fighting in the forest, while Thebes was responsible for commanding the newly recruited killers and spies and the spies sent by the other three empires, began a spy war of unprecedented scale in the northwest territory of the empire on which the sun never sets. The captain of the Leo Guard, who has rarely appeared recently, received Sun Lin's order to take a fleet arranged by Captain Blackbeard, the commander of the Northwest Sea Fleet of the King of the Sun Empire Continent, who is now beginning to monopolize the sea trade routes with half force and half financial resources in the northwest seas, one is that the previous ambush battle and the previous occupation of the 7 Northwest Territories of the Lancester Empire consumed too many burning barrels, in order to be on the safe side, Sun Lin decided to let Leo go back and bring back a few more ships of burning barrels. Because the raw material needed for this east, asphalt, is now produced in Nottingham's territory on the New Delhi Peninsula; The second reason is that Sun Lin feels that the troops on hand are still too small, and the professional army is now only more than 30,000, and the militia troops and cannon fodder troops are only 20,000 each. The combined number of soldiers still did not exceed the number of soldiers that Miler had brought before. Therefore, just a few days ago, when the smuggling was said to have made huge profits, although most of the huge profits were invested in the construction of the two territories on the mainland, the remaining funds were still enough for Sun Lin to recruit some troops.

As for the rebellion of the nobles of the Lanster Empire that he controlled single-handedly, Sun Lin chose to ignore it, of course, it can't be ignored entirely, at most it can only be regarded as on the bright side, as for secretly, although Sun Lin hopes that Milaill will kill all the nobles who have the courage to rebel, so as to save himself from entering the Lanster Empire in the future and causing a new noble rebellion, but on the other hand, Sun Lin does not want this rebellion to end so early, because in this way, Milet will get a little respite before Sun Lin launches the autumn offensive, At that time, the variables will become larger, and such a result is not allowed to appear by Sun Lin.

At the beginning, Sun Lin sold military supplies to Millaire in order to make those nobles not make too much trouble, so that Millaire was able to quickly reorganize the 3rd Army that was disabled after the ambush battle, and reorganized the more than 30,000 Lanster city defense troops and hunter troops who lost less than 1,000 people in the ambush battle, and finally suppressed the crazy offensive of the noble rebels in early August, and defeated the 60,000 noble coalition army with 30,000 troops on the battlefield outside the Lanster Imperial City.

But it is precisely this that raises a new question, because before this, although Sun Lin had estimated the command level of the Lancet Emperor, and also estimated the command level of the rebel nobles, but the problem was that it was only a successful ambush or annihilation battle, whether it was a frontal battle, how could he know the level of the opponent? And the facts have proved the point just now. In the end, Sun Lin still underestimated the experience accumulated by the Randster Emperor over the years of war, and also overestimated the gold content of those Randster nobles, and the best embodiment was the battle that took place outside the Randster Imperial City - Milael followed the fire attack method used by the Empire of the Sun Never Set last time, and ambushed the main force of the noble rebel army in the forest outside the imperial city with more than 10,000 professional troops and more than 20,000 militia troops, As a result, at the cost of losing an entire forest resource and more than 10,000 deaths, Millaire killed more than 40,000 people, including 1 duke, 2 counts and about 10 other nobles, making the noble rebels lose nearly 20% of their "talents".

Moreover, Mirel also re-established his prestige within the Lancester Empire, allowing more people who had previously wavered to join Milyre's camp, greatly strengthening Milyer's strength. On the other hand, the aristocratic rebels lost their initial momentum due to the large losses of elite troops, and switched from offensive to defensive.

What happened next in early August made Sun Lin feel helpless, because the aristocratic rebels turned to the defensive, so Miler also smoothly turned into an attacking party, and under the personal command of Miler, the aristocratic rebels were beaten and retreated, and the territory originally seized was shrinking at a speed of thousands of kilometers per day, and this speed is still increasing.

In the end, Sun Lin had no choice but to send someone to disguise himself as a smuggler to find those nobles, transfer the equipment that was originally intended to continue to transport Mirel's army to the noble rebels, and let the smugglers who originally contacted Mireel start to reduce the amount of equipment sent to their army for various reasons.

In the end, due to Sun Lin's infiltration in the dark, the Lancester royal side and the noble side began to confront each other between the imperial city and the former Lancester Empire military base, and the two sides would invest tens of millions of troops into the forests and mountains in this area every day to fight, and hundreds of thousands of people died every day, but the war did not stop, but intensified, and it was even reported that Millaire had personally led the main army, including the 2nd Army withdrawn from the inland territory of the empire, a total of 10,000 people, He also went here under the leadership of Miler to quell the rebellion.

However, at least from a strategic point of view, Sun Lin's goal has been achieved, Mirel and the noble rebels have been mired in the quagmire of civil war and cannot get out, and this is exactly the result Sun Lin wants, and the time has passed to this time It is already mid-August, and Millaire must hold out until the arrival of the 2nd Army as soon as possible, because without this force, Millair will not have enough people to capture the fortress called Fort Doliga, which is now the gathering place of the nobles in all the noble rebels.

In this way, Millair will not be able to quell the noble rebellion until at least the end of August, and at the end of August, the time for Sun Lin's planned autumn offensive is not even two weeks, Sun Lin does not believe that Millair can do anything in less than two weeks, when the 70,000 troops stationed in the Normandy territory (including the newly established cannon fodder unit composed of more than 20,000 Lanster prisoners) plus the new batch of professional troops that are about to enter the Yorkshire territory, then the Lanster Empire will become a fish on the board of the empire on which the sun never sets. Let it be slaughtered.
