Chapter 29 The Battle of Philland [5]
On March 30, a year after King Norman Tiger I, Abbas, the king of Philland, fled from Zweig City, but in fact, half an hour before he fled, he was still giving an enthusiastic speech, inciting the last resistance, which is said to be loyal to His Majesty King Abbas. Guardian. These soldiers did not betray the country, but it was so simple that His Majesty betrayed them.
Starting from the east coast of Portinia Bay, go north and south along the long coastline, passing through the city of Niwala, the city of Lapua, the city of Vasa, the city of Pori, and the city of Kauponki. Five coastal towns have been conquered by the Task Force Pioneers of Gareth. This is a 429-kilometer-long coastline. These five major port cities, There is only a little grain left by King Abbas. This is the last hope of the royal family, but what makes the king collapse now is that the Normans obviously do not hope to see a situation that satisfies them.
Crazy Gareth launched the banner of revenge for the Northern Kingdom. Many Viking slaves rebelled and became the servants of the Norman Kingdom Expeditionary Army, together with the Slavic servants. The war really entered a state, that is, the state of destruction.
In every war to destroy the country, there will be unbelievable things, and in fact it is true. Some great aristocrats were unwilling to destroy their comfortable lives. In fact, in the worst period of the Great Famine, they did not lack food, and their stock was enough for them to eat for hundreds of years. So, a group of armed characters began to resist explosively. In fact, they also saw hope, a hope that could take charge of one side.
Everyone will be crazy about this opportunity. Tens of thousands of exiles gathered and suffered heavy losses to the slave army in the crazy counterattack of various big families. In fact, the regular army of the Normans has never carried out this suppression.
The ferocious and evil Gareth said in a long tone, "If all the tapeworms don't jump out and make fun, how can they catch all their prey?"
If you want to catch it, you have to let all those jumping bugs jump out. Otherwise, there is absolutely not much hope.
"From the perspective of absorption, Nivara City should be the first stop for Abbas to escape, but what he didn't expect was that he ran very fast. Now, in the city of Zweig, what would the resistance force be like if they knew that His Majesty the King had betrayed them? Mu He touched his beard, widened a pair of bull's eyes, and said viciously.
The left and right guards quickly conveyed their orders there, and the whole army ran very smoothly. After repeated drills, the combat effectiveness of the Baltic Fleet has evolved from a single ship-to-ship to a large-scale group battle. The reason why Gareth did not give the order of comprehensive repression at the beginning is that in addition to the intention of letting all the rebels jump out, there is also a concern that there is no adaptability to large-scale group warfare.
This is not a problem of soldiers, but of generals.
Gareth and Muhe themselves may not have mastered such a superb commanding art. Compared with the commander of the 12th Army, they still have some gaps after all.
But there is no doubt that they will become more and more skilled in dealing with a vulnerable country like the Kingdom of Philland, and they will become more and more skilled for a long time to come.
"The magic crystal cannon destroyed the outer city of Zweig City, but isn't it too wasteful to destroy the royal city directly? Such a building must be preserved if it can be preserved. After all, now the Phillanders have no ability to resist!" Muhe suggested.
Gareth nodded and said, "Your Majesty's goal is the best interest. If it is completely destroyed, it will be meaningless. What we want is not the ruins, but a complete Fieldland Kingdom. By the way, how are the recent casualties?
Muhe smiled: "The loss of soldiers is very low, and there are basically no casualties. After all, no one expected that the Phillanders had become so weak. Our daily rations are almost their four or even five days. There is really nothing to worry about. The problem is that now many great nobles of the Fieldland Kingdom have begun to resist. Obviously, the energy they have in their hands is still worth paying attention to.
"The Holy See has a great influence here. About 20,000 religious people are active. Although it has no combat effectiveness, it is still a headache to destroy it, and it is impossible to kill all of them. We must obtain the greatest benefits on the existing basis, which is fundamental."
There is a trace of ferocity in Gareth's brown eyes. Just now, he did think of killing all those unarmed religious people, but thinking about it, it is undoubtedly meaningless for the future rule of the Philland Kingdom. What's more, the high expectations given to him by His Majesty this time. Obviously, this is To set up a model in the navy, if he messed up, then I have to say that Gareth has no hope of being ahead in his life.
Although revenge is the top priority, it does not mean that Gareth and Muhe have been detached. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of Viking warriors who are fooling around on the sea of the mainland. Their minds are full of the simplest wealth, fame and fortune rather than the rest of the other noble goals, and even the words they know. Just a few.
"Recently, the left wing has been advancing very fast. It has reached the border of the Riel Deans. The border guards of the Kingdom of Riel Dean there are also of poor quality. Obviously, these two countries are completely crazy. However, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the remaining remaining forces are surrounded in the Northeast. Although the slave servant army is still seriously damaged, the scope of the impact is not large. In my opinion, the two right-wing legions can be mobilized to launch a strategic raid to hit the resistance forces of those great nobles, and then pull them out one by one according to the existing intelligence. As for those who have surrendered, they should also make good use of it. It doesn't make sense not to let them exert their strength.
After listening to Muhe's words, Gareth smiled and said, "Generally speaking, we can't raise a group of fat pigs who only know how to eat for nothing. The southern part of the Kingdom of Fairland should be able to start farming. His Majesty's secret order for us to let the army grow land directly. I really don't know why. In this way, aren't you too busy?"
"Your Majesty's thinking must be unique. You and I just need to execute it. What's more, now I heard that the Slavs are fighting against the legions in Sugakane in the western region. I think it should not be a big problem. Otherwise, the war on our side will not be so idle. Muhe said.
Gareth smiled and said, "Although I have to admit that the Slavs still have combat effectiveness, the guy in Sugakane is really a little numb. This poisonous snake, after revealing its venomous teeth, is simply death. In this world, I'm afraid that only His Majesty has the ability to command him. What a frightening guy.
......
Sugakane inspected the forward position. The strong crossbowmen in the trench prepared their own crossbows. There were countless arrows on the ground, which were pulled out and shot at any time. The bodies of the fallen dragon cavalry in front of him had exceeded 2,000, but the loss of the Normans was not without. The guns of the dragoons still killed and injured many people, and the Normans paid the price of hundreds of people to defend the trench.
This is just a position in front of you. Farther away, there are even cavalry regiments and Slavic cavalry regiments. Each has its own injuries. The proportion of war damage is almost one to one, and no one has benefited it. The toughness of the Norman cavalry also surprised the Slavs a little. Even Dragogoski, the commander of the Dragoon, had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Normans was indeed a little admirable, but this did not frighten the leader of the Dragoon Corps. He knew that the strength of the other side was almost the same, that's all. It is.
However, there was no evil smile on Sugakane's face. He shivered, making the left and right guards unconsciously shrink their necks, and then retreated slightly. In the face of this evil and famous legion leader, they can only say that this is really a kind of torture.
......
In the Fieldland Kingdom, the attack of the two right-wing legions in the east is much easier. Although there is no assistance from magic crystal cannons, most of the eastern region are just ordinary towns. Often temporary ladders can successfully climb to the tower. When they reach the tower, the next thing is very simple. Attack The city car is also very sharp. The battlefield situation in the whole eastern region is completely influenced by the will of the Normans at any time.
Even the two Slavic servants who are monitored are extremely smooth. The combat effectiveness of the Felllanders is so poor that there is no suspense.
There is a fortress city in the eastern region, called Pieksai. This city is the intersection of the Kingdom of Philland and the Northern Kingdom. It is adjacent to Lake Ladoga and is an important town. However, with the destruction of the Northern Kingdom, it has gradually declined. Only the caravans that went to the Eastern Yugoslav Empire to trade in previous years. That's why I will go from here.
But there is a very famous lord here. He is also a powerful figure in the Kingdom of Philland, that is, the Count of Pieksay. This man, now 55 years old, but he was born as a cavalryman. He has participated in the war since the age of 17 and killed countless people. He was the protector of the last period of the Middle Age of Famerland. At one time, he was once respected by Abbas as the patron saint of the Fairland Kingdom. Of course, this is a hardliner loyal to the royal family. At this time, two slave legions were heavily damaged in Pieksey, with more than 6,000 casualties. Both legions were basically disabled and could only retreat to the protection of the two eastern right-wing legions. Under the scope of protection.
"Oh? It's actually the guy from Pieksay?"
Gareth was stunned and took out a list, which was Shahily's handwriting. This was a death list, and Hao Ran, the name of Count Pieksey, was on it.
