Holy Sword Dynasty

Chapter 54 The Conspiracy of the Eastern Front

The creation calendar 36178, the morning of June 20, 1573.

In the dark capital of the imperial city of the eternal night empire, the highest military combat conference is being held in the imperial palace.

At the highest place, above the throne, a weak middle-aged man, with fair skin is evil and unhealthy, but his eyes are bright, playing with a peach blossom fan in his hand and quietly listening to the minister below arrange the battle plan.

"400,000 of the Qinglong army of the empire advanced to the area of Kowloon City, attracting the attention of the main force on the eastern line of the Holy Empire. 520,000 Xuanwu army left Nanling and entered the egret City to confront the southern provincial army of the Holy Empire that may be reinforced. The above is the strategy of marching to the south." An old minister said.

"His Royal Highness Ye Shengwu, the eldest prince, led the White Tiger Army to attack in the west, advancing to the Kato Mountains and occupying the area east of the Kato Mountains." Another minister followed.

"General Xia Changkong led a 570,000 army of the Rosefinch Legion to attack the northern part of the Holy Empire and strive to advance to the Meilan River area before the main force of the Holy Empire returns to defend. After this battle, our Eternal Night Empire will completely defeat the Holy Empire and reproduce the power of its ancestors 2,000 years ago."

A group of ministers agreed, and several generals stood aside silently. His Majesty Ye Qiong continued to play with the peach blossom fan in his hand, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a while.

"Where is the old prince Xia Wuyou? Xia Changfeng!" Suddenly, Emperor Ye Qiong looked at Xia Changfeng, who had not spoken in a corner, and asked.

"Your Majesty, my father happened to be cold, and I have asked for leave from the official department this morning."

"The prince is seriously ill. How can he be careless? Changfeng? It's over here in a while. You can go to the imperial doctor's office and take two imperial doctors back to the old prince." The ministers did not understand why the emperor suddenly made such a thing, but did not mention the war in the court.

"This is my concubine's favorite peach blossom fan. Today, I saw that she also liked it very much, so I used it to play with." Emperor Yongye seemed to turn a blind eye to the confused eyes below, continued his irrelevant topic, and casually asked, "Do you think I have abandoned the government because of a small loss?"

Just as the minister below looked at the emperor above with a blank face, Ye Qiong suddenly got up, threw the peach blossom fan at a group of ministers, and roared and said, "Prince Yue Wushen is the invincible military god of my eternal night empire. You actually let him take two main legions to make a masque with the worst record on weekdays. The legion took out the main attack! Are you stupid or am I stupid?

Xia Changfeng immediately knelt down, and a group of ministers also knelt down in fear. Ye Qiong ignored these people at all and continued to roar: "It doesn't matter if you usually fight with each other and compete for favors. You don't want your head to play with this matter related to the national fate?"

"Discuss it again. If you can't discuss the battle plan that satisfies me this morning, don't eat it at noon today. If you can't discuss it this afternoon, don't eat dinner. If you can't discuss it tomorrow morning, you won't eat it for the rest of your life!" After saying that, Ye Qiong sat back on the throne, and a waiter took back the peach blossom fan from Xia Changfeng and gave it to the emperor who was gasping for breath.

Suddenly, Emperor Yeqiong coughed violently and heartbreakingly. The waiter quickly patted his chest and stroked his back. He was in a hurry. Slowly, the cough stopped.

A group of ministers kneeling on the ground quickly fell down and comforted loudly, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself!" As if he didn't hear it, the emperor waved his hand and closed his eyes to refresh himself.

At dinner, a new battle plan was finally approved by Ye Qiong. This battle plan is code-named Eternal,

The general content of the battle plan is:

The Qinglong Army canceled the reserve team for defense, and the whole army advanced 500,000 to the south. Together with the Xuanwu Army 500,000, the target was Doles, the largest city in the southern province of the Holy Empire. The Xuanwu Legion reserve is responsible for defense, with a total of 100,000 people, and the entire southern offensive force is commanded by Prince Yue Wushen.

The whole plan of the White Tiger Army remained unchanged, attacking westward and advancing all the way to the foot of the Kato Mountains to cover the two legions in the south and the rosefinch army in the north.

The battle plan of the Rosefinch Army was changed, and the original impossible task of advancing to the Meilan River was cancelled, and it was changed to advance to the north of the Holy Empire to defend the Thor Fortress and try to attack the Cree Fortress.

The plan is to change the key offensive policy of focusing on the north and the south, adopting a more radical comprehensive attack, and focusing on the south.

The Holy Empire is also worried about its entire long eastern defense line. Although more than 1 million troops have been gathered on the eastern line, and many local troops have been stationed, with a total strength of more than 1.3 million, but in the face of possible attacks, the eastern defense line is still worrying. After calculation, and In response to the news, the number of troops that the Eternal Night Empire can gather exceeds 2 million. For the first time, it has gained a numerical advantage in the face of the Holy Empire. Although the Holy Empire is carefully prepared, it is really unable to face more than 2,000 kilometers of defense.

Leon Barton's initiative to abandon his plan east of the Cetto Mountains was directly rejected. Except for pragmatic generals, no one will feel the need to be forced to give up hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of provinces. So the eastern front of the Holy Empire began to prepare for war. According to the reserve plan of Archbishop Leon Barton, the eastern front was divided into three directions for defense.

The battle plan of the Holy Empire was carefully prepared from the beginning to respond to the possible attack of the Eternal Night Empire, so it is much more complete. The plan is all-encompassing, from collecting troops to protect major cities, burning unlucky food in the strong walls, to poisoning in the well and arranging divine punishment to assassinate the generals of the Eternal Night Empire. , everything.

The plan is roughly as follows:

The main forces were reduced to three directions to deal with the attack of the Eternal Night Empire. The north took the Warhammer Fortress as the core for defense, and the central part used a small number of troops to contain and harass the Eternal Night Empire army. The southern part lured the enemy deep into the city of Doles. After joining the main force of the Holy Empire and the mobilization forces of the southern province, it surrounded and completely annihilated the southern invading forces of the Eternal Night Empire.

On June 14, the premonious Holy Empire issued an order, and several southern provinces began to mobilize before the war. At the end of June, about 10 little trained new infantry corps gathered in the Dofoss River, the largest river in the southern city-state. More than 200,000 people were sent to the increasingly dangerous eastern border.

At the same time, an emergency order was transmitted to Adams in the north, forceing the Adams crusade to end the suppression of Adams in early July and rush to the eastern front to reinforce. General Baoken, who had just taken Nokan from the pile of corpses, was angry by this order. Adams rebels were well prepared and well funded. Although the temporarily formed infantry of more than 200,000 had little combat effectiveness in the wild, they were solid soldiers defending the city. Although their combat effectiveness was limited, they could rely on the wall to resist stubbornly. In the end, this battle between cities and towns has been formed. How can we quickly solve the battle?

But the military order is like a mountain, and he has to command the already tired army to continue to advance to Doroar, the capital of Adams.
