Mercenaries Under the Sky

In the known world, there are four typical climates. From the central line of the world, south to north are: tropical, subtropical, temperate, and cold (that is, polar climate).

The tropical climate and the polar climate are relatively stable, and will be slightly affected except for about two months a year. At other times, they will remain unchanged in the icy snow and the hot summer.

The temperate climate is the most suitable for human beings. A year is divided into four distinct seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with completely different weather.

Subtropical climate change is the cleanest, with two seasons each year: hot and rainy summer and dry and dry winter. A rain fell in the second half of the year, followed by a drought for another half a year.

——Chapter 39 of the "Continent Climate" has three years of third-line war magic. The transformation of the offensive and defensive in the Continental War has always been developing at a relatively fast rate.

After the last offensive and defensive battle in Hamburg City ended with the withdrawal of the Dahino Legion, the base camp temporarily abandoned its plan for the Messian Mountains-even if Marshal Dahino had the idea of ​​continuing to fight, the headquarters of the base camp will certainly order to withdraw from this Unequal severe war of attrition.

In this icy and snowy ground, to maintain a normal supply of tens of thousands of people, at least 20,000 migrant workers need to be used for transportation, and at least 5,000 regular military escorts must be escorted. They are also people and all need to consume grain and grass supplies. If it is changed to summer, the materials consumed in transit will be saved at least 65%. Supporting such a war will undoubtedly worsen the supply system that the Xidijun Group had already stretched.

Of course, the staff base camp is not idle. The best pan-continent staff turned their attention to the largest forest in the hinterland of the mainland. On January 20th of the sixth year of the magic calendar, the base camp customized a new combat target: Jielin Theater. In the past year or so, this small war zone ranked sixth among the seven major war zones, like a tough iron thorn, from time to time jumped out to remind the Holy See and the Myanmar Empire to pay attention to his existence.

The seven major theaters of the empire each have their own superior arms. The most powerful in the northern federation are infantry, especially the glacier infantry; the most powerful navy in the ice floe theater, which gathers 80% of the armed fleet of the empire; the most famous armor of the Gyeonggi theater Heavy knight troops; Tongyunguan theater is lighter than knights; the strongest arm in the Lion River theater is the lance infantry; the Sanggan River theater has the only swamp infantry among the empire; in the Jielin theater, it has the strongest jungle in the seven major theaters knight.

The so-called elite jungle knight mounts are all war horses-um, the term may not be appropriate. This mount is a hybrid of horses, not tall, and very thin and dry.

The jungle knight never participated in the military parade of the empire. In the history of the empire, Qi Mingwu, the general of the third-term forest war zone, once brought his most proud troops to the imperial capital, and ran into the Tongyunguan theater, the northern federal theater, and the Gyeonggi theater. The three chiefs, so there is the following dialogue.

"Hey, old Qi, you have been too tight these days, how come your knights came back to their duty on donkeys?"

"What do you say, where are there donkeys? I obviously saw a group of black long-haired goats. Not to mention, this breed is really good. I have never seen such a big goat. I have seen every one. 100 jin, this is a new breed of Huayu Plain. General Qi, when will you give me some? We ca n’t eat anything in the northern federation. After you black goats arrive, we can shave the meat every day. "This shabu Whether the meat is mutton or mortal ... It's unknown.

"Old Qi, when was the Jielin Theater equipped with police dogs? You soldiers are too ridiculous, how **** are riding on dogs. I want to go to the Little Animal Protection Association to respond to this serious question!"

The ridicule returned to ridicule. During that report, the dedicated General Qi Mingwu specially arranged an internal exercise. The protagonist is this group of soldiers known as riding donkeys, goats, and dogs. The jungle knights are in battle formations. Within an hour, he easily passed through the forest of 50 kilometers wide on the north side of Skamplay. Immediately under the impact of the superior troops of the Colorful Dragon Knights, the jungle knights quickly escaped into the woodland, a group of four or five, constantly attacking everywhere, putting The heavy knights were so violent that they finally had to take the lead out of the fight. It was this result that made the generals of the other six major theaters of the empire shut their mouths.

After Cambrai was trapped, Marshal Chi Datong took command of Jie Lin personally and started a tug of war with the instructors on the territory of the Holy Holy See. The jungle knights conquered one after another fortified villages and even small cities. The soldiers immediately dismounted to work --tax. Regardless of the means of production such as gold, grain, and animals, such as hoe, plow, etc., as long as it is valuable, it must be subject to a head tax. Lord Marshal is quite aware that the Jielin Theater may not be able to last until the end of the war. Once the enemy empty-handed, it will inevitably be resolved here. Rather than retreating at that time, it is better to weaken the power of the Holy See as far as possible.

For more than a year, with Jielin as the dividing line, 100 miles east and 50 miles west, in the Jielin war zone and the Holy See forces repeatedly sawed, it basically became an unmanned zone. Large areas of farmland are barren, and the peasants who were able to produce have become refugees who have reached out for food. Near Jielin, jungle knights riding donkeys have cost the Holy See six thousand men.

The failure of the Hamburg City attack and Chi Aotian's expeditionary force swept thousands of miles in the Huayu Plain, so that the Western Emperor's Staff Headquarters re-recognized the powerful strength of the Imperial Army. All powerful troops are included in the battle cluster.

Western Emperor's Staff Headquarters chose this as a new combat target with three major advantages: 1. The Jielin Theater was surrounded by the two war clusters of the Holy See and Scamper, which can be said to be 100% inside operations, regardless of supply or increased strength, It's very easy.

2. The latitude of the Jielin War Zone is relatively low, and the temperature in winter is also above 0 ℃, and there will be no more difficult requirements for the supply line. Moreover, this is still a period of slack farming in the Holy See, and it will not affect the continuity of the continued fighting in the coming year.

3. It can be said that the stars shone in the Holy Holy Territory at this time. More than ten senior generals such as Monton, Norton, Iron Hand Barrier, and Han Han are undoubtedly the key to ensuring victory in the war. Nearly 100,000 armored armies have just won the victory of Chi Aotian's expeditionary army, and the fighting spirit is soaring. Although the Dahaino cluster did not complete the established combat objectives, the emergence of the floating city still gave the soldiers and low-level officers confidence. In addition, Xuanqing's Dragon Knights were also invested at the same time.

At the same time, it has the right place and the right people. The Xidijun Staff Headquarters has considerable confidence in this battle.

Of course, developments have not been so smooth.

In the autumn and February of the 6th year of the magic calendar, the 100,000 army under General Chi Hantong has recovered to its best state after two months of repairs. On February 29, Chi Aotian's brother, General Chi Changyun, led a 30,000 armored army led by the Black Dragon Knights and the Fire Lion Knights.

The Xidijun base camp originally thought that this army would continue the route of the Chi Aotian expeditionary army to wash the Huayu Plain again to achieve the dual purpose of containment and weakening. The base camp even once again made the psychological preparation to exchange space for time. However, let the Holy See, Fanos, Khan blood mercenary regiment a total of more than 40 Hou Ding dumbfounded-the direction of this army turned out to be south!

On the south side of Tongyun Pass is a dense forest, on the east side is a fairy forest, on the west side is the woodland of the eastern foothills of Shengxue, with a continental road in the middle. 200 miles south, no human villages can be seen except the post. Even when walking on the mainland highway, you can't see the sun when you look up-the tropical rain forest is too dense, and the crown of an adult ficus tree branch is more than 100 meters round.

Half a month later, the Xidijun Staff Headquarters finally understood the real purpose of General Chi Hantong's move-to build a city!

After the mercenary imperial capital was captured, except for some of the mercenaries who surrendered to Fanos, the other mercenaries led by the surviving mercenary king entered the eastern foothills of the holy snow and the woodlands outside the fairy forest.

The mercenaries' stubborn fighting consciousness far exceeds the elite knights of the Hughes Empire, which is also the same country. This point is also a research topic for future generations.

Later generations of scholars generally believed that the mercenary empire was the only commercial empire among the seven empires at that time. Large and small mercenaries and merchants had their own cities. If the residents of the city were not satisfied with the owner, they could move to other cities. This federal state structure gives citizens greater freedom and rights, especially for mercenaries who have military merit.

Even if the high-level mercenary regiment surrendered to Fanos, they would not necessarily be able to obtain greater benefits than before. Therefore, most of the high-level mercenary regiments and high-level mercenary soldiers chose to resist.

Unfortunately, the mercenary regiments have a poor sense of cooperation with each other, and the arms are single. In the six years of the magic calendar, the mercenary regiments often set their combat targets to a small number of enemies with less than 100 men. Coupled with the fact that these mercenary regiments have lost their cities, there is no logistical supply at all. This situation led to the situation of the defeated soldiers getting worse every day.

The reason why Chi Hantong gave up the northern offensive and chose the south is to help these mercenaries build a city where they can continue to develop.

Chi Hantong believes that in the next few years, the battle direction of the Amy empire will definitely choose to be at home and the Holy See. In this case, once the Eastern Army of Fanos clears the remnants of the original mercenary empire, it will definitely become A new base for the Pan-Continental War, here will continuously provide Fanos with strategic resources such as food, money, recruits, equipment and so on. If the Holy See is investing more manpower here to continue to brainwash the local residents, the original mercenary empire might provide Fanos with millions of soldiers.

Therefore, the Lord General decided to bury a few nails on the south side before letting go of the Holy Church. Building cities, sending instructors, providing weapons and equipment of various arms, and providing grain and grass supplies ... At least let the mercenary kings be able to recycle themselves.

When Xidijun's staff base understood General Chi Hantong's real purpose, two Tuchengs, 30 miles apart, had been established, and more than 300 mercenary groups, large and small, heard the news that they were coming at night.

Another good and bad news also appeared in the autumn of February of the 6th year of the magic calendar. The head of Amy, one of the five major mercenary regiments known as the Golden Brain, made a faint move-giving up and completely destroying Hamburg City, This is certainly a good thing. On the bad side, the only mobile unit in the northern mountainous area was released. This army wandered for a few days in Skampre. Small cavalry units even attacked the mainland highway post and successively demolished multiple passes. The mainland highway to the imperial capital was cut off for support. Several dragon knights were soaring above Skamplay every day. Once they watched the air raid, they would always come down to do something. This forced the base camp to mobilize a legion from the Jielin campaign cluster to return to the imperial capital. Unexpectedly, Amy, who had put on the offensive posture, slammed a shot and slammed into the Sanggan River theater.

The jump of the small mercenary regiment scared the current general Count Rebaton of the Sanggan River theater. At this time, the elite combat power of the Sanggan River theater was concentrated on the troops defending Yi Hailan on the south bank. On the north bank, except for a few swordsmen troops in several major cities, the rest of the area was completely clean.

Count Rebaton did n’t think he would be so unlucky. Just less than half a year after he took over, the black dragon and blond boy in the south took their demon troops and inspected them for three days. Actually ...

Lord Earl secretly cursed Marshal Daheno's ability to use troops, and within a day, he sent four special envoys to ask Cambrai for support.

Let the emperor support? The emperor now has only the direct legion of His Majesty Farrell, not even 10,000 people, and even this camouflage is dissatisfied with this force. Besides, sporadic snow has covered most of the northern bank of the Sanggan River. Before the war, there were always large-scale business trips on the mainland roads, posts and swordsmen troops. The snow on the roads could soon be cleared. After entering the state of war, people are panicking. Just two light snows, there have been mud and ice on some parts of the mainland highway, and there are even many places like man-made collapses. In this case, the mobility of the Cavaliers is greatly reduced, not to mention the infantry.

The reinforcements did not wait for Count Rabaton, but the order came with one thing-to abandon the city on the south bank, shrink all the troops to the north bank, and stick to the aid.

With such an order, Lord Earl almost slammed the Hou Squadron leader at the base camp!

Do these people in the staff headquarters grow up eating grass? 25,000 soldiers, except for the 15,000 elite troops directly controlled by the generals, the others have long been spun off to various cities ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ These soldiers are nearly one hundred miles away from the Sanggan River Bridge. All withdrawal to Heyang, at least a week. The soldiers are okay to withdraw, what about supplies? In order to defend the Yihai Barracks, the Sanggan River theater dismantled all the war resources such as catapults on the north bank and then reassembled them on the south bank. Now these materials are transported back, and they are transported under the enemy's nose. They are not the enemy of one aspect. The boy who came from the north has defeated all the talented officers of General Fanos. He can let the Sanggan River Young guys crossing the river smoothly

Count Rebatton's question had an accurate answer that night, and of course the answer was no.

There are six or seven dragon knights in Amy's hands. How can Amy, who is extremely rich in resources, not use it? On the 3rd of February in the 6th year of the magic calendar, four dragons attacked the Sanggan River Bridge under the cover of night. On the same night, two of the three bridges were completely burned by the dragon's breath. The energy and enthusiasm of the dragons were obviously excessive. They considered that the weather was very wet after the winter and it was extremely unfavorable for the maintenance of the hull. Therefore, on the way home, the dragon breath was used to roast the ships moored on both sides of the river. Originally, the dragon knights also wanted to sneak attack on the naval base of the Sanggan River war zone, but they were forced out by the company's company. Even so, the Sanggan River fell into flames that night.

Subsequently, the news that the Holy See planned decades of riots and ended in failure also reached the Western Emperor's General Staff Headquarters, and the subsequent news about the reignition of the Zoroastrian Torch made senior priests with all the affections of Scambre. change. It is more regrettable that, because the Mumbai City World War I was quite clean and tidy, the news that Chi Aotian's expeditionary forces appeared again was not informed by the external line newspaper.

In the fall of the magic calendar for six years, the situation in the Eminor Continent has changed three times a day.
