Chapter 244 Attacking Bello

In order to launch a war against the Principality of Bello and help the forest of elves, the Duchy of Holy Sword has formed a whole 150,000 troops in this month. Today, the Duchy of Holy Sword has twice the number of troops of the Duchy of Bello, and has thousands of magic cannons, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles.

In addition to the 90,000 expeditionary troops in the middle of the Elf Forest, the domestic strength of the Principality of Shengjian has also reached 310,000, with the 5th Division, 6th Division, 9th Division and other main forces, as well as more than a dozen ordinary infantry and cavalry divisions waiting to be equipped with magic cannons, armored vehicles and other weapons. At least half of these troops are equipped with cars.

This does not include the four divisions and elite troops of more than 60,000 elves under the jurisdiction of the Principality of Sword. If the power of the Bright Orcs and the Elf Forest are included, there are at least 35 divisions and more than 530,000 in the Principality of Sword.

Now these troops are divided into four clusters deployed in various regions, and the first group is personally commanded by Arcado, including the forces of the Holy Sword Principality of the Elf Forest. The second cluster is the army deployed on Rome Island and Newport, which is unified for the management and restriction of Vera and Buck stationed in Rome. The third cluster is the rear defense force in Lomec Province, controlled by Merdore. The fourth combat group is the strongest, including 2 divisions of elves and 19 divisions of human beings. The commander-in-chief of this group is the second figure of the Principality of Sword, Chief of the Military Department, Mc Vallon.

In order to prepare for the attack on the Principality of Bello, Gavin's 2nd Division was replaced by the 11th Division from Port Neil and rushed to Bello by rail.

On July 4, 2 of the Gregorian calendar, the fourth cluster of McVlon launched a full-line attack on the Principality of Bello. Although the soldiers of the Principality of Belo resisted tenaciously, they were still forced to retreat by the powerful offensive.

The next morning, McVlon's army crossed the border of the Principality of Bello and attacked the nearest city of Carlo.

The central breakthrough force composed of the 2nd, 5th and 6th main divisions has torn open the defense line of the Bello border troops and began to detour and encircle,

About 100,000 defenders of the Duchy of Bello scattered across the long border have fallen into this huge pocket.

Bello City, the capital of the Principality of Bello, is a magnificent city built by the Bello Mountains. The urban layout of the stairs looks so magnificent, but now the whole city is shrouded in a bleak atmosphere.

In the palace of Bellot, a group of ministers turned in place with sad faces like burning ants. The generals knelt down with sweat, and Tony, the king of Bellot, covered his face with his hands, as if he was sorting out his emotions.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Sword... No, the troops of Rome Island are prepared this time. If our army does not retreat, they will be in danger of being annihilated!" A general kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said.

"I said it! Hold on! My army is gathering! I have ordered the national mobilization, and hundreds of thousands of troops will immediately drive Rome Island out of my duchy under my command!" King Tony did not change his posture and still covered his face with his hands.

"Your Majesty, the financial statements for the first half of this year have come out, and our income is only half of this time last year, that is to say, since the war began in March, we have almost no source of income." The more the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke, the more guilty he became, and the more he whispered.

"Get out! I have cut half of the king's expenses! What else do you want me to do? Do you drink enough water? Obviously, King Tony is on the verge of rampage.

"People's emotions are very unstable. We should try to make peace with Rome Island. It is not wise to go to war now." An old minister suggested.

"What do you know! The messenger of the Yongye Empire once contacted me. He promised that as long as I stick to it for a month, the reinforcements of the Yongye Empire and the southern city-states would come, and hundreds of thousands of troops could flatten the so-called Holy Sword Duchy! Then we can enjoy glory and wealth forever!"

The minister below looked contemptuous and thought to himself: Waiting for the reinforcements of the Eternal Night Empire? Let's not talk about whether we can keep it until then in this situation, that is, the army really came, and there is no need to think about who belongs to glory and wealth?

"Also, has the envoys of the southern city-states left? Urge them! Why are we Belo a member of the southern city-states? In this critical moment, we always need their southern city-states to mediate?

"Try to inform Your Majesty that the envoys of the southern city-states have entered the sphere of influence from the Principality of Luolei to Lomai, and I believe that the news will be sent back soon." The Foreign Minister came forward and reported.

"Good! Order the city defense forces to strengthen the city! Gather the surrounding troops to Belot City! I want to lead a large army and fight to the death with the damn Rome Island!" Tony shouted loudly.

His men hurried up and prepared for themselves, but it seemed that what everyone wanted was not the decisive battle that the king said, but how to face Rome's army after that.

Soon, McVlon led his army to encircle and annihilate the isolated border troops of the Principality of Bellow, turned more than 70,000 Berlot soldiers who surrendered into slaves, and dispersed them into construction teams throughout Lomek.

Three days later, on the afternoon of July 7, McVlon's main force surrounded the important western city of Carlo of the Duchy of Bello. More than 8,000 defenders of the Principality of Bello, who were stationed in the city of Carlo, laid down their weapons and surrendered. That night, Carlo merged into the Principality of the Holy Sword.

More than 200,000 troops marched towards Bellote City overnight, and basically did not encounter decent resistance along the way, and some areas even welcomed people.

As of July 12, nearly half of the territory of the Duchy of Bello has been occupied by the Duchy of Saint Sword, and the Duchy of Saint Sword has gained land border with the Duchy of Faria.

An unexpected thing happened on the afternoon of the 12th. The army of the Holy Sword Duchy, which should have been killed all the way to the city of Bellot, actually changed its offensive route and set out from the central part of the province of Bellow and went all the way east to the eastern city of Kerton of the Principality of Bellow.

McVlon's attack direction completely disrupted the intention of the Duchy of Beloh's attempt to rely on the strong city of Belot to gather half of the power of the Duchy of Belo and delay the McVlon's army.

The army of more than 100,000 of the Principality of Sword rushed straight to the back of Cotton City, completely destroying the strategic rear of the Principality of Bellow, so that Bellow had to give up the strong wall of Bellot and return to the division to fight with the forces of the Princesacred Sword in the field.

This attack has also completely eradicated the possibility of other southern city-states coveting the Duchy of Belo. After all, the army of the Duchy of Sword has appeared there, and anyone who wants to get a share of it needs to think about it.

So the army of 135,000 elite duchies of the Holy Sword was not far from the southeast of the city of Belote, meeting the narrow road of the 170,000 Belo army.
