Chapter 24 Military Power [3]

"Your Highness, our army suffered a setback in western Minsk, and now we can only wait for assistance. The morale of the army is low, which is not a good thing." The staff were all surprised and said repeatedly. But Alex rubbed his chin, but thought about something else in his heart. He smiled and said, "Frustrated? Humph, but I don't think so. The successive battles have made the army refined and experienced. The people who survive are all the essence, elite, and more loyal. As long as I survive, with my army of hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid that I can't deal with the group of bastards in China? Humph, don't laugh to death."

At this time, Alex was proud and not afraid at all. He thought about it and said, "How long can our food last at this time?"

The rock fortress is an important reserve area. It is heavily guarded and has a geographical advantage. It is simply difficult to conquer, easy to defend and difficult to attack. That's what it is said. But now it seems that it is really a headache. At least it is impossible for the Normans to take down the rock fortress for a while.

As Alex said, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops.

The main force of the Northern Legion has not been completely eliminated, and the dross has been removed to take its essence. The power in Alex's hands today is absolutely shocking. It can be said that this is the Norman army of Tiger House to give him a screening to retain the excellent soldiers.

As long as morale is restored and the combat effectiveness of the existing army, there is no doubt that it will not decline but rise.

In contrast to the Roman Empire, although the Central Army is known as the elite, after all, there is no real battle with the Norman army, let alone victory. Once you are frustrated, I'm afraid you will be crippled immediately. Fortunately, the strength of the army within the empire is still trustworthy. Otherwise, how can it be possible to join the Central Army if it is just this kind of garbage?

It is no wonder that although Prince Ursula did not pay attention to His Royal Highness the Second Prince Dan Rom, he was still careful and did not dare to act in the imperial capital. He just took a fancy to the army in Dan Rom's hands.

The power of the army is easy and difficult to establish, but the madness like the Normans is very frustrating, but many people know that the Normans are absolutely unreproducible.

A countrybag like Tiger House, a local bun born in the countryside of Mustave, such a country bumpkin can have the status and power of today. It is absolutely impossible to have such a person, and no one will believe it. However, no matter how bad the reputation of Tiger House is, at least his Norman army is a real super force, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Your Highness is wise!"

The staff were also deeply gratified at this time. At least the confidence of the eldest prince was not destroyed by the Norman soldiers, but stimulated a stronger fighting spirit. Although it was not yet the time for a decisive battle, and the reputation of abandoning the city would still affect the future of the eldest prince Alex more or less, but for now In other words, Alex just doesn't want to waste his strength in any little action abroad. His purpose is to get the emperor's scepter. Wear the emperor's crown, hold the supreme power of the empire, and carry forward the imperial power.

This is Alex's biggest goal. The rest is that you don't have to think about it at all, because it's in vain to think about it. You can only be strong, let alone Tiger House, even if it sweeps the world, what is it?

This is also why Alex can endure it. I have to say that forbearance is indeed an admirable character. For most people, this character may not have it, but Alex already has the potential of a generation of heroes. Of course, Tiger House is a generation of heroes at this time. Xiong, a generation of big tycoons.

"At this time, the domestic news is not very clear. If I guess correctly, the central army of the empire will be under pressure. However, although there is no news at this time, it should be on the border of the Minsk Autonomous Territory. After all, the Normans have not yet attacked east, indicating that there is power to contain them. In. It seems that Dan Rom, the younger brother, has come here. Humph, my younger brothers are more and more shrewd. Isado is like this, so is Dan, but I don't know if they have the ability to control the situation?

At this time, a cold light flashed in Alex's eyes, and he was a little more shrewd. He rarely became so gloomy. It seemed that he was sad that he had lost tens of thousands of troops at all, but this quality made his staff more and more excited. They seemed to see a man with the quality of an eternal emperor. The prince is rising. Of course, this is just what they think.

"Your Highness, the reinforcements of the empire should be near the border at this time. I think they are still waiting for the Normans to hit us. Among them, it is nothing more than the hope that we will have a decisive battle with the Normans, so that they can benefit from it. However, it is obvious that they did not see the expected situation. At this time, the pressure of the imperial capital will make the second prince have to send troops.

The staff are also very resourceful, and they understand the political problems. Dan Rom's little thought, even a donkey, can be seen clearly, not to mention the Minsk people? It's just that now that Isiddo sees that Alex is so decisive, he deeply understands that his eldest brother is determined and a little scared for a while, so he wants to kill Alex more and more. This has nothing to do with position, only interests.

However, in any case, at least in the imperial capital now, inside and outside the city of Rom, there are indeed many foreign messengers and businessmen there to promote the reputation of Isido, many beautiful names, which makes people have to praise the wisdom and martial arts of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but in the ears of the major families, there is more or less debatable. But in any case, Isado at this time did not lose to his two brothers in politics.

The suspense of the throne is always so suspenseful.

With the gradual recovery of the Magician Legion, Dan Rom, at the urging of Minister Mike Russell, also had to send troops to Minsk to confront the Normans. Although the two sides did not fight much, they were also extremely careful with each other. I also have a clear understanding of the strength of the other party.

At least in the eyes of many central armies, the second cavalry regiment of the Normans is definitely the most powerful cavalry regiment in the world. Compared with those bullshit church knights, they are simply divine knights.

However, the Central Army still did not deeply feel the strength of this force. It just compared the dragon cavalry of the Slavic Empire horizontally. Compared with the two, it was difficult to say which was better or worse between the two.

Of course, after several engagements, Gangliluo did not underestimate the army of the Roma Empire. Knowing that things could not be done, he simply withdrew from the southern region, and the second prince Dan Rom immediately exaggerated this matter as that the Gangliluo Legion was afraid of his prestige and had to flee.

After knowing this, Gang Liluo smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, this kind of quarrel is not necessary at all. If there is a useful field, he would rather train 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry. Of course, this has been accumulated for a long time.

But there are so many resources in the hands of the Normans now, not to mention how many troops are waiting for the dispatch of Tiger House. I don't know how many strong people there are among the various races that have joined the Norman Kingdom. If they are recruited, the number is very amazing, especially in the Philland area. During the war, the combat effectiveness of those mercenaries was indeed commendable. At least during that period, the Normans did have a difficult time.

But now, six or seven years have passed, the Normans' sphere of influence has gradually expanded, their population has doubled, and their influence is not weaker than that of the Slavic Empire. In regional competition, they are also becoming more and more offensive and proactive. This aggressive way of fighting makes the Normans feel refreshed in the Slavic Empire and the Roman Empire. When there is a big contradiction, there is unlimited geometric expansion.

This is also what makes many insightful people in the empire see and anxious in their hearts.

However, this can't do any damage to the Normans at all.

Of course, the riots in Perle Prison did weaken Tiger House's influence in the central hinterland, but the subsequent military front pointed out that the state of military power stimulated his influence among the people even more. It can be said that all the members of the kingdom's cabinet, although they want to learn from the king. His Majesty seized a little power in his hands, so that the king's power would not be too great, thus making the whole kingdom out of control, but now the people take the initiative to hand over the power to His Majesty King Taguss I, which makes the cabinet a little helpless.

It can be said that with the peak of military power, the victory of Minsk and the capture of Minsk City, which not only consolidated the position of the commander of the 12th Legion, saved Tangorine and Papaya, but also increased the prestige of Tiger House, and such a move made the commander of the legion and even his subordinates feel It is very comfortable to think that His Majesty's concern for them is very meticulous. At least, the heads of Tangorine and Papaya have been saved, and of course the future has been saved.

It is very fortunate that the Minsk Autonomous Territory can accidentally control at least one-third of the territory. If it is not for the contradictions within the empire, it is absolutely impossible to expand even if it is to capture the city of Minsk, even if it takes down the Hedong Corridor. But now, things are not that simple.

In order to consolidate their strategic advantages, the Normans have begun to increase troops, and have conscripted a large number of young men to build fortifications, and permanent fortifications along the Hedong Corridor.
