Chapter 4 Battle of the Montreal Conference [1]
Reinhardt's main force is the Lithuanian Protector Army and the National Knights. The total number of cavalry is more than 60,000, which can be said to be one of the best. However, because the supply and maintenance costs of cavalry are too high, the number of knights is actually far less than 60,000, but only half of the number, probably in It looks like more than 30,000 people. However, this number can indeed deter a group of forces, but in front of the Normans, it is nothing.
The shock caused by a charge of Gangliluo's cavalry regiment has not changed so far. The allied forces feel a kind of despair about Gangliluo's ghost-like strength, and it is definitely not what they want to get against such an enemy. They thought they would easily take down the Norman country and take away their land, but they didn't expect that things would become so bad.
At this time, people were already panicked in the city of Montreal. Many Latvian nobles who fled from Latvia two years ago were full of regret. They thought they would return to their hometown and support a monarch to re-establish the country, but they did not expect that the Normans were more powerful than they imagined. Yes, in fact On the other, the means of these countries are in Tiger. In the eyes of House's staff, it was no different from tofu dregs.
"Damn it, have you heard? Tiger. House's army is about to attack the fortress. Montreal is not so safe now. I decided to go to the Roman Empire or the south. Anyway, I don't want to stay in this damn place for a moment. Damn, this country is simply terrible.
"Are you going to attack? Oh, my God, please, when did you hear from me? I have a friend of Inkegrande. Well, it's actually my relative. According to his reliable information, there is a war on the front line now, and the eastern fortress was almost captured yesterday. You know, he came forward to meet the Norman soldiers. Of course, he finally survived and pretended to be dead.
A group of people listened to the words of the two guys and suddenly looked pale. At this time, their heart was beating, and they were almost dying. This world is absolutely difficult to live. The determination of the Normans has been shown beyond doubt. If there was a glimmer of hope at the beginning, then it is completely terrible now.
The country is completely in a mess. Although the army is strong, it does not dare to fight at all. It is also suppressed by enemies less than themselves. No one expected that this would be the case.
"My God, I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm going to the south, to Apennine, or Armenia. Anyway, I can't stay here. Damn Normans, do you have to kill all the Lithuanians?"
"Tiger. House is a beast. He is insatiable.
"That devil..."
The sound of the curse will not spread to the north of the east coast, and Boss Ma is still commanding the battle there. Unlike the war in the south, the battle in the north can be described as stunned. In order to avoid the consumption of troops, Boss Ma chose an extremely obscene harassment battle, which is not annihilated, consumes, and slowly consumes. .
There is no supply, no hope. A large number of people died in pain, and then the formation surrendered. The Danland people did not survive their will. After being annihilated by a legion, the proportion of war losses was more than half. At this time, the number of troops was less than 150,000. It can be said that Deniz suffered the first setback. When it is folded, it is a failure, and on the contrary, Tiger. House's army did not lose much and miraculously turned the situation around. The militia began to escort the prisoners to Tamsalu to show off. At this moment, it was bound to become the place of the hero.
In general, the north, which has been operating for many years, is the foundation of Boss Ma, so the hearts of the people are high, and there is a lot of energy that can be used. There are even large-scale farmers who spontaneously armed themselves to resist. Although it was quickly controlled, it still explained Tiger. House's prestige in the north. This is indisputable.
Unlike all kinds of tricky things in mainland warfare, on the ocean, Little Saxon's sea power was finally firmly controlled in his hands after several twists and turns, and the price paid was also quite a headache for him. Nearly 40 medium-sized warships were scrapped, two heavy warships became s, and nearly 100 small warships were lost. This statistic makes little Saxon have the mood to order a massacre. However, compared with the navy of the Kingdom of Nordland and the navy of the Kingdom of Danland, this loss is simply dust.
The main force of the navies of the two countries, a total of 270 heavy warships, have not survived, or been sunk, or captured. The tragedy is absolutely difficult for the two countries to recover within a hundred years. The Normans who control the sea power will certainly not give them a chance to rise again one day.
How many trophies are there, let alone. At this time, the purpose of little Saxon is to blockade the northern waters of Britain and control the transport fleets of the Inklanders and the Kingdom of Sukland. In fact, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he quickly won the target, and nearly 40 grain carriers were divided into two batches. The second gain, from the careful level of the Grand people, little Saxon also knows that these guys are naturally sinister bastards. If they don't take good care of them, they will simply damage their image.
After reporting to the country, little Saxon and the senior generals of the navy discussed. After passing the military judge's warrant, the whole operation was sharply fed back to Tiger. House and most of the anxious high-ranking officials and generals. In order to stabilize the current situation and expose all the unstable factors in the country, this operation is actually aimed at rumors that various espionage activities in the enemy country have spread.
However, these things are all brewing in the brewing period. On the southern battlefield, the fierce fighting has been carried out dozens of times on the high wall of the eastern fortress. Each time it takes away thousands or even tens of thousands of lives of the enemy. The Norman soldiers wrapped in human heads are like crazy people who kill red-eyed, constantly killing and killing, no What do they want to do? It seems that the Normans just want to attack from the eastern fortress. It doesn't look like it anymore.
After several high-level generals inspected and told Reinhardt, the commander of the southern theater turned pale and said in his heart: Is it true that our speculation is wrong? And the Duke of Buckingham, this mad dog, right?
For the first time, Reinhardt had doubts about the judgment of his professional soldiers. This doubt should not be, but in any case, it always shows a problem. In this battle, Reinhardt lost at the beginning.
At the same time, Totti, the commander of the First Legion of the Norman Kingdom, calmly commanded the army to advance slowly. It looked like an old cow eating grass, a snail climbing trees, and being listless. However, the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable the whole coalition. The total number of the First Army has exceeded 45,000 people. What is its strength? Well, everyone knows it very well, and Totti is more famous than Riglo in foreign countries. House's first wise general, this kind of guy, if he takes it lightly, it's crazy.
As a result, the two Acropolises in the south of Montreal became a bridgehead against the raids of the First Army. There were ten legions of Lithuanians stationed in the city of David, which were also equipped with 5,000 cavalry and the reorganized cavalry regiment, which also showed Reinhardt's carefulness and importance to Totti. In addition, the supplies in the City of David are sufficient, so Reinhardt believes that it is impossible for Totti to conquer the City of David in a short time.
In the small Acropolis, Reinhardt is also arranged. Because the small Acropolis is located at the back and is not very close to the front line, there are only 20,000 people here, a total of four legions, and a temporary cavalry regiment of 2,000 people, which is still recruited by the people. The quality of weapons and equipment is very low, not to mention the military literacy. There is no difference between having or not for these folk cavalry. As for the passage between the city of David and the small Acropolis, it is naturally equipped with a large number of scouts, about a sentry every half a kilometer, each with 30 people, a total of three teams. Equipped with two horses, this is also Reinhardt's limit.
Needless to say, the unscrupulous soldiers who used the Inke Grands were all farmers who could not shoot arrows accurately. They gathered about 10,000 people of two legions and stationed in the wild, which was a little comfort.
And Totti's side, after learning the news, was also stationed on the spot near the City of David, as if it were going to fight a protracted war, but both sides knew very well that this was Totti looking for a fighter plane and observing the opportunity. As long as he seized the opportunity, it can be said that it is easy to happen in World War I.
Totti is very careful and cautious. He doesn't like to be rich and dangerous as he is. He can't do the same kind of explosive raid, but Totti, who is stable and cautious, has a much better record than Riglo. When fighting with Latvians, although people call Gonilla as a ghost-faced Shura, they really hate Totti, those Latvian generals and nobles, which is simply a hooligan.
It is possible to meet all the means of this guy at any time. Assassination, poisoning, arson, flooding, anything can be done, and at the moment when people are extremely alert, he suddenly takes action, as fast as thunder, and does not allow you to think and react at all. In the end, only he left with victory and glory, and the enemy left only blood and white.
It can be said that in the later period of Latvians, there was a fierce reputation of Gangliluo, but Totti's evil and cunning are also impressive, which is what Reinhardt is really worried about. That's why the two Acropolis in the south of Montreal pay so much attention.
