Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 1 The Beginning of Disciplinary

There is a state in the northwest outside Shanhaiguan of the Great Xia Empire, named: Anzhou. The name of the state city is Wangjiang City.

Wangjiang City is only seventy-three kilometers away from the border of the Great Xia Empire, the Boundary River. After crossing the Boundary River, it is the land of the Federation of Princes.

And one hundred and fifty-four kilometers west of Wangjiang City, after crossing the boundary river, it is the land of the Anyuan Kingdom. Therefore, Wangjiang City can be described as the place where the three countries meet, and there is a lot of defensive pressure.

However, Wangjiang City is stationed with the division headquarters of the Second Infantry Division of the Great Xia Empire and one of its infantry regiments. The troops of an infantry regiment are also deployed at the junction of the Three Kingdoms 154 kilometers to the west, so there is no need to worry about the enemy’s failure. The long-eyed came to attack.

In fact, let alone the other two countries daring to attack the Daxia Empire, the people of these two countries are very thankful that the army of the Daxia Empire did not cross the river to attack them.

Since the Great Xia Empire occupied all the lands south of the Jiehe River, various forces north of the Jiehe River have taken strict precautions against it, especially the Anyuan Kingdom, which had fought against it during the occupation of the western region, even more. Most of its forces in the country are concentrated in the east, for fear that the army of the Great Xia Empire will suddenly hit Anyuan Plateau.

Even so, Alex Elmer, the king of Anyuan Kingdom, still felt uneasy. After all, in the previous war, he sent hundreds of thousands of troops before and after they were not won. Now the same number of troops are defending. It is definitely not. Insured.

However, the strength of the Anyuan Kingdom had reached its limit, and Alex Elmer could not send more troops for defense.

So in the end, Alex Elmer thought of the way to find foreign aid.

Alex Aylmer took a look at it. The northern part of the Anyuan Kingdom was an unbounded twilight desert, and there was an insurmountable towering mountain range to the west and south.

Not to mention the east side, that is the Great Xia Empire he needs to guard against. As a result, Alex Elmer discovered that his Anyuan Kingdom is now surrounded by the Great Xia Empire, which needs to be guarded strictly. The princes federation in the northeast is a force that can be united.

There is no way. Although his Anyuan Kingdom has a vast area and a large population, facing the overhanging sword of the Great Xia Empire, Alex Elmer has and only one choice.

Although the princes’ federation has always been disgusted with the surrounding countries that were established by eliminating other territories because of its own traditions, the princes’ federation also faced the threat of the Southern Great Xia Empire.

Although the princes federation only met with the navy of the Great Xia Empire when it sent troops to support Baxter, no one dared to doubt the Great Xia Empire from its “one-sided fate” and the prestige and power of the Great Xia Empire for so many years. Is his strength strong enough.

Therefore, in the face of the request of the Anyuan Kingdom to form an alliance, with the approval of the three major dukes and giants in the country, the Anyuan Kingdom and the Princes Federation successfully reached an alliance.

The alliance between the two countries agreed that if one of the two countries is attacked by the Great Xia Empire, the other country will unconditionally support the other country. The agreement will be valid until the Great Xia Empire is eliminated.

The covenant between the Anyuan Kingdom and the Federation of Princes was unceremonious and unobstructed against the Daxia Empire, because the threat of the Daxia Empire was too great.

But after the Daxia Empire got this piece of information, it didn’t care at all. It wasn’t afraid of the alliance between the two countries. If it weren’t for fear of being underestimated by outsiders, the Daxia Empire wouldn’t even bother to take care of it.

However, the enemies all expressed their views. If Yang Song didn’t say that, outsiders thought that their Great Xia Empire was afraid of this alliance.

Therefore, Yang Song immediately decreed that the First Infantry Division, the Second Infantry Division, and the Third Mountain Division, with the assistance of the navy, launched a punitive attack on the princes’ federation north of the Jiehe River and the Far Kingdom of Xi’an.

This offensive was not for anything else, but just to express a stance, so that people inside and outside Xia knew that their Great Xia Empire was not so easy to provoke.

With the assistance of the navy fleet, the forces of the three divisions crossed the boundary river together to launch a massive attack against the Anyuan Kingdom and the Federation of Princes.

The sudden offensive of the Great Xia Empire completely made the two countries unable to fight back, and they didn’t even know what to do.

It is stated in the covenant that after one of their two countries is attacked by the Great Xia Empire, the other will provide unconditional support to it.

But now their two countries have been attacked by the Great Xia Empire together. Now, who should support their two countries?

In the face of the heavy losses of the army ahead, Alex Elmer of Anyuan Kingdom made the first decision. He ordered the entire army to retreat and decided to exchange space for time to ensure that his only army can be saved. strength.

The Anyuan Kingdom’s decision just made it escape. After all, in this offensive, the Daxia Empire was only going to teach the two countries a lesson, but did not think about how much land they would actually occupy.

So when the third mountain division in the western part of the Great Xia Empire saw the enemy all escaping, his commander, General Zhang Wei of Pingxi saw this, he had no choice but to give orders to retreat to Leizhou after burning down many towns, and returned to An. Far Plateau, Anyuan Kingdom, Leizhou to the east of the Boundary River.

Although the Kingdom of Anyuan escaped the catastrophe, it was impossible for the Federation of Princes to use the same method.

Because the princes federation is a country closely united by territories, so if the Anyuan Kingdom’s method of exchanging space for the Great Xia Empire’s withdrawal of troops, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to some of the lords near the boundary river.

If other territories in the princes federation really abandon the territories near the river, the princes federation will also fall apart, and at that time the princes federation will return to the point where each territory alone faces the entire Great Xia Empire.

The three great dukes of the princes federation and other lords are not fools, of course they know this truth, even if they want to give up these lords in Linhe in their hearts, they dare not really say it, let alone do it.

Therefore, in desperation, the princes federation could only gather all the troops from all the territories to conduct a battle with the 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, the Navy’s defensive fleet of the Great Xia Empire, and the Marine Corps who came to participate in the battle and support. Great battle.

The princes’ federation, which has been in a peaceful state, has not lost any vitality. Even if it was bombarded by the Xia State fleet several years ago to support Baxter Nation, it was only a part of the troops sent from nearby territories.

Moreover, these territories saw the original cross-river bridge collapsed by Xia Guo, and saw nothing to do, and immediately withdrew their defenses, so there was no substantial loss.

Even if there are some losses along the river, after so many years, what should be restored is almost restored.

The Great Xia Empire knew this, so it launched a disciplinary war against the Anyuan Kingdom and the princes federation. The army sent a total of three divisions, and there were two divisions sent to the princes federation.

For the Anyuan Kingdom, which had already suffered a major blow, a third mountain division was more than enough to deal with it.

Seven hundred thousand! In order to resist the offensive of the Great Xia Empire, the Federation of Princes sent a huge number of troops of 700,000!

There are only two infantry divisions and one Marine Corps on the Great Xia Empire. Even if the 7,300 people on the naval defensive fleet, there are only nearly 120,000 in total.

With an army strength close to one to seven, even with such a big gap, the side of the Great Xia Empire was not worried at all.

After Yang Song learned that the princes federation was doing its best to fight against him, not only did he not worry, but he was very happy because he could maimed the princes federation all at once.

To this end, Yang Song immediately put Li Jing in charge, and first went to Lizhou Hui with the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division stationed in Yongsheng City to support the northern battlefield together.

After Li Jing went to Yunzhou in the north to preside over the overall situation, Yang Song was completely relieved.

Originally, with 120,000 people and a fourth heavy armored division, a total of more than 160,000 troops, commanded by the commanders and chiefs of staff of each division, was enough to fight.

However, in order to prevent any accidents, Yang Song allowed Li Jing, the only general of the Great Xia Empire-General Zhuguo, to go to the battlefield for unified command.

When the army of the Great Xia Empire, with the support of the naval defensive fleet and the Marine Corps, established a foothold north of the boundary river, the outcome of the princes federation was already doomed.

Because the princes federation relied on its huge forces to block the Xia’s army from crossing the river with the natural dangers of the boundary river!

Even if the princes federation can take advantage of the boundary river and its huge army to block the crossing of Xia’s army for the first time The Xia’s army has overwhelming water power, and finally it can cross the river, only in time. It’s going to be some evening.

In fact, Xia’s troop dispatch this time was to punish the two countries in name, but in fact it was to strike a blow at the princes federation, which has always been relatively stable, so as not to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the accumulated military strength to invade the Great Xia Empire first. .

From the fact that the princes federation was able to assemble 700,000 troops relatively quickly this time, we can see the strength of the opponent and its potential strength.

The other is about the initiative and the location of the battlefield. Active offense is better than passive defense.

Active offense can give priority to the assembly of superior forces, and can choose the time and place of the war-although this time the superiority of forces is still in place!

And now the large tracts of land south of the Boundary River are already being developed by the Xia State, if the battlefield is within the Xia State, the loss will be great.

So in summary, it is still a matter of initiative. As long as you have the initiative in the war, the probability of winning the war is much higher.

…

A battle between the two sides that combined the forces of nearly one million was quickly staged on the land of the Federation of Princes north of the Boundary River.

Under the command of Li Jing, the army of the Great Xia Empire launched an offensive against the enemy with the First Infantry Division, the Second Infantry Division, and the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division, divided into Northeast, Northwest, and Zhengbei.

The navy’s defensive fleet and the Marine Corps ensure the smooth crossing of the river and logistics.

Although Li Jing is the commander-in-chief, he still allows the divisions to perform independently. He only plays a strategic deployment and coordination role. This is why Li Jing divided the offensive line into three parts.
