Chapter 59 59 The Emperor's Roar

Moreover, these five makeshift infantry divisions are all one main regiment plus one The garrison is composed of the main team, but the battle strength of the garrison is not too high. Although compared to Arrant's rotten army, the battle strength of the garrison was already crushing, but in the face of the possible army of the Holy Demon Emperor, the garrison was not enough.

Most of the garrison regiments are not equipped with heavy machine guns, and the anti-aircraft guns are also seriously insufficient. Originally, a garrison was also equipped with two 30mm caliber high-level dual-purpose guns for air defense, but because they captured Naru City, most of these anti-aircraft guns were transferred to strengthen the air defense of Naru City.

After all, whether it's the troops heading south or the troops heading east, the only way out for Alanhill's army is Naru, which is next to Serris City. If something goes wrong with Naru, Alanhill's troops, which are advancing south and east, will be cut off from their retreat.

However, the anti-aircraft guns cannot meet the needs of the front line in a short time, so the air defense of Naru City has been strengthened, and the shortage of anti-aircraft guns of the second-line garrison is even more serious.

The 5th regiment attacking Bude was commanded by Koriya. Because they went south earlier, they also took their anti-aircraft guns and stayed near Naru City for a day. The 6th Division, commanded by Bourgeois, was taken away with two anti-aircraft guns.

This made Bourgeois a little embarrassed. The battle strength of the 6th regiment of his main regiment was still very guaranteed, but the 16th regiment of the garrison regiment, which made up the number, did not have a single anti-aircraft gun.

The 4th Division under the command of Mordelair, who was attacking eastward, was not large, because his attack direction was the eastern city of Wallawa, where the opponent's garrison strength was not sufficient, and it was not in the Holy Demon Emperor. Guobei is the only way to counterattack, so his pressure is relatively small.

The 3rd Division of the General Reserve, commanded by Wilkes, which has 3 infantry regiments, is not fully equipped with weapons. Only the main 3rd regiment is equipped with sufficient anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, and the remaining two An infantry regiment with only rifles and infantry artillery.

The 2nd Division commanded by Vagron was also tasked with guarding the city of Naaru and could not be easily mobilized, so he did not know whether he should continue to spread out the troops while heading south and east, and then at the In the face of the counterattack of the Holy Demon Emperor, it was impossible to concentrate on a battle.

Although there are still troops joining in the southward troops, the second-line troops without heavy firepower, Vagron feels that it is not the decisive force in the battle. No matter how many of these troops went south, they couldn't stop the real Dragon Knight troops of the Holy Demon Emperor.

Therefore, even if Vagron's own total strength exceeds 40,000 people, and there are 4 additional soldiers from the garrison behind him that can be used, what he expects is only the one in his hand. 12 regiments of troops.

"The furthest you can't cross this line! This is our original plan, and it's the furthest we can probably advance..." Vagron gently drew a line on the map, looking at He spoke with a few officers under his command.

In the very first plan, Alanhill, or Chris, never thought that the Arrant Empire could be annexed in one battle - this is completely impossible, after all, the size of the Arrant Empire is at least twenty Alanhill's. times or even more.

The newly established Alanhill regular army also does not have enough troops to occupy all the cities of the Arrant Empire, so Chris estimates that the best situation is to take the entire northern part of the Arrant Empire.

His troops could only advance as far as the Bude, Maricha, and Wallawar lines, and there was no way to hold on to his victory: even this line was more optimistic. The line is the furthest line that can be controlled.

According to what Chris said at the time, the premise of being able to hold this line was that the Holy Demon Emperor did not participate in the war, or that it did not invest too much troops after participating in the war. If the opposing side were determined to fight and sent a large number of troops, Alanhill would have suffered heavy losses.

The worst outcome is not unthinkable. Once the Holy Demon Emperor starts a full-scale war with Alanhill, then when Bude reaches the front line of Maricha, it will almost collapse. In the end, all Chris could keep was Naru, a scorched-earth city that became the front line.

"Immediately order the liaison officer and bring the order to each unit! If the cavalry of the Steppe Empire insists on going south, let them continue south, buy us time and create strategic depth." Only one military commander who has obtained the magic ball of knowledge, so he can open his mouth and say so many modern military words.

It is precisely because of the addition and enhancement of the Knowledge Magic Ball that Chris is assured of letting Vagron command the Combat Unit of 5 divisions and more than 30,000.

"Now, we can only wait and see how the Arrant Empire fights back!" Both hands crossed near chest, looking at the battle map in front of him, Vagron said in a low, muffled voice one sentence.

......

In the distant Arrant city, a fast horse rushed into the city gate. The pedestrians on both sides avoided one after another. The Knight on the fast horse did not mean to slow down, but swung the whip desperately, urging the horse under his crotch to run faster.

In the majestic Arrant Imperial Palace great hall, the emperor of the Arrant Empire, Arrant Hook, is sitting on his throne, listening with a cold face to Prime Minister Clark reporting the battle situation on the southern front.

Because of the relationship between the Holy Demon Emperor, General Zorn lost his troops and the Arrant Empire failed in its attempt to attack the Dothan Empire. For this reason, it also lost a full 30,000 soldiers and 40 new cannons. .

You know, these cannons can be said to be made of gold, and every cannon is extremely precious. Losing a cannon will definitely make people feel distressed for a long time. However, in the south, Zon lost a full forty gates in one go...

The problem is that the Dothan Empire has not been defeated, and the result of the loss of troops in the south is to be forced to cede a piece of land to Dothan to recuperate. Arrant is simply trying to gain an advantage only to end up worse off, in the absolute sense having given away a bride, to lose one's army on top of it.

Arrant Hook is waiting for an explanation, an explanation from his royal prince, General Zon, and an explanation from the Kingdom of the Holy Demon Emperor—although he may not be able to hear the latter explanation, but he does. Is waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.

After all, he didn't do anything wrong. The Holy Demon Emperor's brazen intervention in the war between Arrant and the Dothan Empire was actually against the rules and needed to compensate the Arrant Empire.

"General Moss is leading his troops north. This is the news that came back yesterday... They will arrive at the Fallen Abyss River soon, and they will be near the royal city soon." Clark was also holding back at this moment. With a stomach full of anger, when he opened his mouth to report what happened in the past few days, his voice was a bit harsh.

The 50,000 gold coins that Alanhill promised to give him this year has not been sent to him yet. If you add the later apportionment and the original tax of the empire, then add the soil. For the taxes in Fort, Beijun and Hanhai, Chris has to send him at least 90,000 gold coins this year!

This is something that Prime Minister Clark keeps thinking about, so in addition to being ruthless, his report is somewhat absent-minded: he is thinking about the money that belongs to him, what he likes and how he likes. gold coins.

"Report! Report!" The Knight, who had just rode on his horse and stumbled into the royal city, finally got off his horse outside the palace, climbed the steps gasping for breath, and held his hands high. letter, shouted loudly.

No one dared to stop this Knight, because the scroll in his hand was painted green - that is the flag color of the Arrant Empire, the meaning of this color is very important, and it must be delivered directly. in front of the emperor.

The Knight collapsed to the ground when he reached the center of the great hall, and he lost too much physical strength by running all the way. However, he still held the scroll in his hand high, and loudly reported the news that he had read countless times along the way: "Alanhill undeclared the war! The Naaru was attacked a few days ago!"

"Naru?" Emperor Arrant Hook, who heard the news, supported the armrest of the throne with both hands, and seemed to want to stand up, but when he was halfway up, he fell back to his throne.

Don't blame the emperor Your Majesty's lost self-control, even in the rich and imposing Arrant Empire, a big city like Naaru, and the surrounding fertile territories, it can't be ignored. Losing such a densely populated and economically developed area would be very fatal to the Arrant Empire.

Arrant Hooker is also forty years old. Ever since he succeeded to the throne, he has been diligent and diligent, hoping to be a good emperor for the resurgence of the Arrant Empire. Otherwise, he would not support General Zorn going south, nor would he have any thoughts of going north to attack Alanhill.

It is a pity that the system and officials of the Arrant Empire are corrupted to the root, and it is completely impossible to correct or eliminate them, so no matter how hard Arrant Hook tried, he did not reverse the fact that Arrant continued to degenerate and decay. .

I saw the diligent emperor staring at a pair of not too big eyes, looking at the Knight who delivered the news, and asked solemnly: "Tell me clearly, what is attacking? Naru? Naru didn't defend for a few days? How could he be breached so quickly?"

The Knight was obviously stunned after hearing Emperor Your Majesty's stern question, and then Then he continued to cry again, as if his relatives had died in Naru City: "Your Majesty! Adam City Lord sacrificed himself for his country, Naru City... has indeed been occupied by Alanhill's rebels! "

The emperor of the Arrant Empire suddenly looked towards Clark, who also didn't know what to do. He put his hands together and said, "I don't know this yet... Alanhill occupied Naru." This matter, we have to think about it in the long run..."

"Then hurry up and discuss it!" Arrant Hook, who was already impatient, slammed on the armrest of his throne and shouted indignantly.
