Chapter 34 Sugakane's Decision [1]
In the early morning, the tide-like Slavic imperial dragoons finally retreated. The casualties have been heavy, and there has been no such tragedy since the Normans rose up. Even if you rack your brains, in the overwhelming tidal attack, it is impossible to be completely unharmed. The number of people killed in the battle has exceeded 3,000. This is a horrible data.
The reinforcements of the kingdom have not yet arrived. Although Chesner's reinforcements did not stop and did not rest at night, the distance of hundreds of kilometers could not be completed in a day. No one expected that the people of the Slavic Empire would really have a fierce counterattack, and the speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.
At this time, although the country is boiling, Tiger. House's cabinet has to make a decision. It is impossible to give up the western region. Almost all the nobles and heads of the Chamber of Commerce are unwilling to do this, while the farmers who have just obtained the land disagree even more. A group of hardliners who shouted that they wanted to kill all the Slavs immediately decided to transfer more troops. There is no doubt about this.
However, the layout of the army is a little overstretched. Even if there is a lot of room at this time, Ma Hu still knows that there are too many enemies around this country.
What's more, the purpose of the Slavic Empire is not only this. If it is only to destroy the five legions in Sugakane's hands, there is no need to make such a tragedy. The only thing is that Nicholas I, as the emperor, must strengthen his prestige in the country and thwart the pride of the Normans.
As long as there are some enemies, it should be predictable.
Forty-three people attended the Grand Duke's mansion and cabinet meeting. After a long silence, a hoarse voice sounded: "In my opinion, the Slavs will not give up a necessary war in a short time. In particular, at this time, the majesty of Nicholas I was challenged within the Slavic Empire. The disaster of the Ivanov family may begin soon. At the summer solstice, it should be the best time, because as long as it succeeds, it can catch up with the autumn harvest and get food, and you are not afraid of riots.
Charles, a dead-faced old monster, flicked his fingers like bones. As soon as Charles, who looked obscene and looked like a skeleton, many people frowned unnaturally and glanced around carelessly. The people present were the backbone of the whole Norman kingdom. Some of them were once great aristocrats of the country, left behind, although in Tiger. The destruction of the House group has also been more or less integrated into the system, but in essence, their pure egoism will not change.
"Sir, there is no doubt about this, and there is no doubt about the increase in troops. But, gentlemen, we have just fought a war in the Kingdom of Fairland. Even if it is a war between elephants and mice, all the consumption is visible. Look at how much food we have consumed in the past month. Half of the entire Narval production area! The total amount of military expenses and materials consumed has exceeded four million gold coins. Our consumption can't last forever.
Catherine, Minister of the Interior. Nar frowned slightly and said.
She is a Narval, and there is no doubt about her feelings for this land. Therefore, even if the army stays in Johevi for a day, she is careful not to let the pressure completely bear on Narval, but now it seems that this country is obviously not so stupid. Moreover, the new king is also extremely old and wise. The military food used is only Johevi's commercial grain in trade.
Although a large amount of gold coins are consumed, the debt owed by the state, at least Tiger. His Majesty King House I's credit is used as collateral there. To some extent, as long as the country becomes stronger and stronger, it is not afraid of debt.
"I think we need a little flucre. For example, we don't need to be ourselves, we can hire a large number of people." Charles flicked his fingernails and then looked slightly at the Sky Knight just not far away. Cole, the old man sneered and said, "Yes, there are indeed a lot of people in the Eastern Mercenary Federation."
A gold coin! One person is hired for one gold coin a month. I need four legions. Twenty thousand people, do you have it?" Ma Hu crossed his hands and glanced coldly. Cole, asked.
Warhammer Saxon on the side thought about another thing, and then asked in a low voice, "Now the front line should be where the commander of the Sugakane army commands the battle. On-the-spot judgment, I think it is necessary to give him higher power. At this moment, the Slavic attack must be eliminated and then repel them! Our elite loss has exceeded 3,000 people. This is only one day, gentlemen, we don't have too many elites to consume.
That's true. The Slavs have a population of 500 million. It's very easy to consume, while the Norman population is only 10 million. It can't be so simple.
"The appointment letter of full authority has been sent out. Don't worry. That guy from Sugakane, there will be no problem!" Ma Hu thought for a moment and then said, "It is impossible to leave the regulation of motoring in the maintenance of security in southern Latvia. And the First and Second Legions must be stationed in the northern part of the Principality of Lithuania. Gentlemen, we are surrounded by enemies, so the life of every soldier is precious!"
"It's just that fear of death is not my style. Since the Slavs want a vigorous war, I will satisfy His Majesty Nicholas I!" Ma Hu clenched his fist, and the hungry tiger said fiercely, "This time, we must let the Slavs know our steel-like will. Ordering Gareth's Baltic Fleet to launch a harassment against the Slavic Empire in the southeast of the Fieldland region, Nicholas I must know that if there were enemies on all sides, he would not have good fruit to eat.
At this moment, in the southwest of the Slavic Empire, Prince Ursula looked calmly at the military face in front of him, smiled and said, "Who would have thought that after a few years, there would be an army of nearly 150,000 in my hand?" The people on the left and right bowed their heads slightly and did not dare to speak. Prince Ursula, who had accumulated power for a long time, said to the generals next to him, "Has the Slavic counterattack begun?"
"Yes! Tell Your Highness that it is our old opponent. The commander of the Third Legion of the Slavic Royal Guards, Zhukovsky. This guy is very good at ambush and raids, but our arrangement is very safe. If he just wants to attack, it is impossible to break our defense front.
The general's confidence can be seen.
Ursula sneered and asked, "General, I've only heard of the invincible attack, but I have never heard of indestructible. Even if it is as hard as gold, it is impossible to resist the burning of the blazing fire!"
"Yes! Your Highness's lesson is!" The general immediately bowed his head and was very ashamed.
Looking at the strict military appearance, Ursula had some thoughts in his mind: although there are 150,000 troops now, more than half of them are only temporary conscripts. I have seen Tiger. House's army, their army, is the real elite. However, I don't need to master an invincible army. To some extent, my army is enough as long as it can help me ascend the throne. As long as this battle is won, it will be famous.
"I heard that the Slavs and Normans in the north are fighting again? Didn't Emperor Nicholas I know how to restrain himself after losing a reorganized Western Legion? Norman, it's not easy to mess with. Prince Ursula sighed disdainfully, as if he was mocking Nicholas I. Then he looked at the generals behind him and asked, "What do you think of that Sugakane?"
The intelligence came quickly, and the empire's intelligence system is still good. At this time, Prince Ursula was very concerned about the movement of the Norman Kingdom in the north. Although it was early to know that the Normans had begun to call the kingdom, what happened at this moment was somewhat surprising.
Several generals were silent for a while, and a tall General Apennine came out and said slowly, "This Sugakane is a very tricky opponent. He is good at catching loopholes and giving him a fatal blow. Although the famous Slavic general Turgnevsky is good at fighting fiercely, in Sugakane's hands, although there is no strong cavalry to fight against it, he can still consume the opponent. The war loss ratio is about one to one. In the empire, there are people who can do this, but there will certainly not be many.
How can the Slavic dragoon be so easy to solve? Those windless cavalry, fierce and fierce, just like ghosts. If it weren't for the Roma and the powerful army of magicians, I'm afraid they would be desperate.
After listening to General Apennine's words, Prince Ursula nodded. His eyes were very serious and doubtful. He just said to himself, "Tiger. What kind of method does a person like House rely on to unite so many masters around him? Is it an interest? Or are those beliefs that are worthless at all?
......
At the forefront of the battlefield of the Slavic Empire, General Turgnevsky slowly walked through the edge, and the camp stood up. The first wave of attacks killed for a while. If it was not necessary to rest, I'm afraid that the loss would continue. He never thought that the other side could resist the cavalry to such an extent with just a large number of infantry. The most exaggerated thing is that the strength of one's own side is higher than that of the opponent. This made Turgeneevsky a little surprised by the toughness and toughness of his opponent. Even after the repeated sneak attacks in Sugakane, Turgenesky knew very well that this opponent was very tricky and terrible, like a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that killed people.
"General! Morsk Royal Order!"
"Bear me!"
Turgnevsky's beard was pulled aside, slowly browsed the content, and then put his hands together to burn the order. Looking ahead, he whispered to himself, "How can Norman's movements be so fast?"
It turned out that in the southeast part of the Philland region, the border guards of the empire found a large number of troops in Norman uniforms wandering. It seemed that it should be the Baltic Fleet that had just invaded the Kingdom of Philland and caused the destruction of the country.
