My Empire

Moreover, these five improvised infantry divisions are all composed of a main force regiment plus a defense regiment. The main force regiment is okay, but the defense regiment is actually not very powerful. Although the combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment was crushed compared to the rotten army of Arante, these garrison regiments were not enough in the face of the troops of the Holy Demon Empire that might emerge.

Most garrison regiments are not equipped with heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns are also seriously inadequate. Originally, a garrison regiment was also equipped with two 30mm dual-purpose guns for air defense, but because Naaru City was taken, most of these anti-aircraft guns were moved away to strengthen the air defense of Naaru City.

After all, whether it is troops going south or going east, the only retreat for Ailan Hill’s army is Naaru, which is next to the city of Serris. If Naaru made any mistakes, the Ailan Hill troops moving south and east would be cut off to retreat.

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

The 5th regiment in the direction of Bude was commanded by Korya. Because they went south earlier, they also took away their anti-aircraft guns. They were close to the city of Naaru and were on standby for a day. The 6th was commanded by Bourgeois. The division was transferred to two anti-aircraft guns.

This made Bourgeois a bit embarrassed. His main force regiment, the 6th regiment, was still very strong in combat effectiveness, but the 16th regiment of the defense regiment had no anti-aircraft guns.

The 4th Division under Modler’s eastward attack was not large, because his attacking direction was Volavo, the eastern city of the opponent’s insufficient defense force, and was not on the only way for the Holy Demon Empire to counterattack north. , So his pressure is relatively small.

The 3rd Division of the General Reserve Commanded by Wilkes, which has 3 infantry regiments, has incomplete weapon configurations. Only the main 3rd regiment is equipped with full anti-aircraft guns and machine guns. The remaining two infantry regiments also have only rifles. And infantry artillery.

The 2nd Division commanded by Wagron also shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding Naaru City, and could not easily be mobilized, so he didn’t know whether he should let the troops continue to spread out while moving south and east, and then faced the counterattack of the Holy Demon Empire. It was impossible to concentrate forces for a battle.

Although there are still troops joining the southward troops one after another, but the second-line troops without heavy firepower, Wagron feels that they are not the decisive force in the battle. No matter how many of these troops go south, they cannot stop the true Saint Demon Empire Dragon Knight troops.

Therefore, even if the total strength of Wagron’s own side exceeds 40,000, there are still 4 supplementary soldiers of the garrison regiment behind him, but he only counts on the troops of the 12 regiments in his current hand.

“The farthest you can’t cross this line! This is our original plan, and it’s the farthest we can probably advance…” Wagron gently drew a line on the map, looking at several officers under his hand. , Said.

In the first plan, Alan Hill, or Chris, never thought that it would be possible to annex the Empire of Arrant in one battle. This is completely impossible. After all, the area of ​​the Empire of Arrant, at least that of Alan Hill. Twenty times or more.

The newly established Ailan Hill regular army did not have enough troops to occupy all the cities of the Arante Empire, so Chris estimated that the best situation was to take the entire northern area of ​​the Arante Empire.

His troops can only advance to the Bude, Maricha and Volavo lines as far as they can be. No matter how much it is, there will be no way to defend his victory: even this line is the more optimistic line and the most controllable line. A line far away.

According to Chris’s statement at the time, the prerequisite for holding this line was that the Holy Demon Empire did not participate in the war, or that it did not invest much force after participating in the war. If the opponent is determined to fight and send a large number of troops, Alan Hill will suffer heavy losses.

The worst result is not unimaginable. Once the Holy Demon Empire goes to war with Ailan Hill, then Bud will almost collapse when it comes to Malicha. In the end, only one scorched-earth city, Naaru, could be kept by Chris.

“Immediately order the liaison officer and bring the order to the troops! If the cavalry of the Steppe Empire insists on going south, let them continue to go south, buy time for us, and create strategic depth.” Wagron was the only one who got the magic ball of knowledge. Military commander, so he can open his mouth to say so many modern military vocabulary.

It is precisely because of the supplement and strengthening of the Magic Ball of Knowledge that Chris can rest assured that Wagron will command 5 divisions and more than 30,000 combat troops.

“Now, we can only wait to see how the Arrant Empire fights back!” With his arms folded and looking at the battle map in front of him, Wagron urn said such a sentence in an angry voice.

…

In the distant King City of Arante, a fast horse rushed into the gate. Pedestrians on both sides evaded one after another. The fast knight didn’t mean to slow down, but desperately swung his whip, urging the horse under his hip to run faster.

In the main hall of the majestic Arante Palace, the emperor of Arante, Arant Hook, was sitting on his throne, listening with a cold face as Prime Minister Clark reported on the situation on the southern front.

Because of the Saint Demon Empire, General Zorn lost his troops and replaced them. The Arante Empire failed 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. Every cannon is extremely precious. Losing a cannon will definitely make people feel distressed for a long time. But in the south, Zorn lost a full forty doors…

The problem is that the Dothan Empire has not been defeated. The result of the loss of soldiers in the south is that he is forced to cede a piece of land for Dothan to rest and rejuvenate. Arante is simply stealing chickens and losing money. In an absolute sense, he lost his wife and broke down.

Alan Hook is waiting for an explanation, an explanation from his royal family, General Zorn, and an explanation from the Holy Demon Empire. Although he may not be able to hear the latter explanation, he is indeed waiting for the other party to give him an explanation. .

After all, he didn’t do anything wrong. The Holy Demon Empire brazenly intervened in the war between Arrant and the Dothan Empire, which was actually unruly and needed some compensation to the Arrant Empire.

“General Moss is leading troops northward. This is the news that came back yesterday… They will soon arrive at Fallen Yuan River, and they will be near the Royal City.” Clark was also holding his stomach at this moment and reporting. When things happened in the past few days, the voice was a bit harsh.

Alan Hill promised to give him the benefit fee of fifty thousand gold coins this year, but it has not been sent to him yet. If we add the taxes that were later apportioned, and the original taxes of the empire, we will also include the Tubao, North County and Hanhai. For the taxes in the three places, Chris has to send him at least 90,000 gold coins this year!

This was something that Prime Minister Clark kept thinking about, so besides being fierce in his report, he was somewhat absent-minded: he was thinking about the money that belonged to him, and the gold coins that he thought and liked.

“Report! Report!” The knight who had just ridden on the war horse and stumbled into the king’s city finally got off his horse outside the palace and climbed up the steps panting, raising the letter in his hand, shouting loudly.

No one dared to stop this knight, because the scroll in his hand was painted with green paint, which was the color of the flag of the Arante Empire. The meaning of this color was very important, and it had to be served directly in front of the emperor.

When the knight walked to the center of the hall, he collapsed to the ground, and he lost too much stamina all the way. However, he still held up the scroll in his hand, and loudly reported the news that he had read countless times along the way: “Elan Hill is undeclared! A few days ago, Naaru was attacked!”

“Naru?” The emperor Arant Hook, who heard the news, supported the armrest of the throne with both hands, as if he wanted to stand up, but when he was half standing, he fell back on his throne.

It’s not to blame for the emperor’s gaffe, even in the wealthy Arante Empire, a big city like Naaru, and the surrounding rich territories, it can’t be ignored. Losing such a densely populated and economically developed area would be very fatal to the Arante Empire.

Atlanta Hook is also forty years old. Since he succeeded to become the emperor, he has been diligent and diligent, hoping to be a good emperor of the ZTE Atlanta Empire. Otherwise, he would not support General Zorn going south, nor would he have thoughts of going north to attack Ailan Hill.

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

I saw the diligent emperor glaring at a pair of not too big eyes, looking at the knight who was delivering the message, and asked very majesticly: “Tell me clearly, what is meant by attacking Naaru? Didn’t hold it for a few days? How could it be breached so quickly?”

After hearing His Majesty’s stern questioning, the knight was stunned for a while, and then continued to cry and cry, as if his relatives had died in the city of Naaru: “Your Majesty! Lord Adam sacrificed his country, Naru Lucheng… has indeed been taken over by Ailan Hill’s rebels!”

At this time, the emperor of the Arante Empire suddenly looked at Clark, who was also somewhat at a loss, and said with both hands, “I don’t know about it yet… Ailan Hill’s occupation of Naaru, we want It’s a long-term plan…”

“Then quickly discuss it!” Arante Hook, who was already very impatient, snarled angrily, knocking on the armrest of his throne.
