Chapter 360 Unexpectedly Variables

In fact, the Holy Sword Empire was not well prepared to attack the southeast citystate this time, because at least the air force that Arcado had been looking forward to was doomed to fail this attack.

In addition, the improved radio communication system is too late to be deployed to the troops. Although unprecedented epoch-making product in the laboratory has made unprecedented progress, it is still unable to mass-produce the front-line troops.

The new tank has been finalized, leaving more space for tanks to retreat, and a spacious place to install radio equipment, which has nearly doubled the weight of the tank and the turret is even larger, which is obviously different from the old tanks replacing cavalry.

The biggest change is actually the armored vehicle force. In order to accommodate larger communication equipment, almost all the old-fashioned armored vehicles will be eliminated in the next three years. 70% of the eliminated equipment will be mixed for the transition to the existing Sword Empire cavalry force, and 30% will be used to sell more gold coins to deploy more modern Chemical weapons and equipment.

More than a part of the trucks need to be refitted to reduce the number of loaders and install communication systems, which makes the previously overstretched Sword Empire transport forces even worse.

In fact, from the beginning to now, the mechanization of the Sword Empire has never been completed. With the continuous expansion of the number of troops and the geometric growth of the number of magic cannons, trucks have never been enough transportation equipment.

More than half of the magic cannons of the Holy Sword Empire are still dragged by horses, and cavalry troops are still everywhere. A large number of infantry are crowded on both sides of the road, making way for the main mechanized infantry and watching a truck full of supplies and shells roar past them.

In the non-main combat forces, mule-drawn carts are still the main means of transportation. Soldiers pile helmets and shields on them to relieve their burdens. In fact, the scene is similar to the ordinary troops of the Eternal Night Empire, and they can't even catch up with some of the most elite troops of the Eternal Night Empire or the Holy Empire.

Even in the most elite tank armored forces of the Sword Empire, the problem still exists. Most of the tank troops are dissatisfied with the number of personnel. Tank divisions with 800 tanks can invest 600 to fight. Most of the tank divisions have about 600 tanks, and some even have only 400 tanks.

And many of these tanks are old-fashioned tanks, similar to those sold to Elf Forest, and because they are precision machinery, the failure rate remains high, so most tank divisions can only barely maintain 400 to 500 tanks to participate in the battle.

The same is true of armored vehicle units. Because the truck army is relatively mature in technology, the failure rate is relatively low, and the situation is slightly better. However, these forces also have other fatal problems.

Tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and even magic cannons are overloaded. They have assumed the offensive roles that can take turns in the past. Because their power is really powerful, every time the Holy Sword Empire is ready to attack or defend, the first thing to mobilize and concentrate is tanks, magic cannons, these new Style troops.

The overload operation of equipment and personnel brings fatigue. These troops can often be destroyed in the early stage of the campaign, but often can only rely on willpower to move forward.

Such an expanding and victorious army, all problems seem to have been covered up, with insufficient equipment, chaotic management, paralysis and arrogance of the enemy. All the problems seem to have disappeared under the flag of the sword vine, replaced by a fanatical voice. The slogan, as well as the pathological belief that the holy sword will win.

In this battle of the Southeast City State, the Holy Sword Empire relies on the family that has been accumulated in the past two years, and there is also a strong rear built in five years. There is also a raid battle, which makes the Holy Empire and the Eternal Night Empire have no interference.

However, will the situation develop as planned by the Sword Empire? It turns out that this is just a wishful thinking of the Sword Empire.

When the Sword Empire reviewed the Brown Plan, the senior officials of the Eternal Night Empire already knew that Arcado was preparing an offensive battle plan against the Southeast City.

Then the order to prepare for the invasion of the southeast city state has just reached various combat units, and the Eternal Night Empire has almost entered the preparation for war.

In order to keep the Sword Empire secret and achieve the effect of a sudden attack, the Eternal Night Empire blocked the border and did not allow anyone to enter or leave for any reason. It basically cut off the connection between the intelligence network of the Sword Empire and China.

Subsequently, the old general Yue Wushen personally led 790,000 Qinglong troops to hoard in the Sink Province of the Yongye Empire and was ready to enter the southeast city-state to participate in the war.

This batch of Qinglong Army has strengthened 400 of the latest magic cannons, as well as 3,500 old-fashioned, one-time imitation of various magic cannons

Such a huge force entered the territory of the Southeast City State at midnight on October 2 and began to fully take over the defense of the Southeast City State. The veteran Yue Wushen led the main force to march across the province of Bath and suddenly appeared in the alert area of the Sword Empire in Koch City in the early morning of October 7, disrupting Akado. The entire operational deployment.

The Holy Empire stood on the side of the Eternal Night Empire without hesitation this time. Leon Barton also learned about the battle plan of the Sword Empire from special channels a long time ago. In order to avoid the independence of the Sword Empire in southern Asia, the Holy Empire also joined the ranks of counterattacking the Sword Empire.

Archbishop Leon Barton personally sat in the city of Cayars, and the forward force of 400,000 under the command of Bishop Dumte threatened the army of the Sword Empire from another wing.

The 300,000 troops of the Holy Empire from Gustav Fortress temporarily joined forces with the Eternal Night Empire to form a crusade army to encircle the central group of the Holy Sword Empire in North Dofoss Province.

Acudo saw that it was not good, and immediately led the troops of the Sword Empire to cross the Dorfoss River, retreated to the territory of Adams Province, and jumped out of the encirclement of the 1.4 million troops of the Eternal Night Empire and the Holy Empire.

However, the Sword Empire lost a large area of the territory of the Sword Empire in the middle of the province of Arant, and confronted the coalition forces of the more than 1.3 million eternal night sacred empires.

The war did not end immediately as Akado and McVlon originally expected, and once again fell into the abyss of tug-of-war.

And this time the situation is worse than Akado expected. According to the news brought back by the reconnaissance force, the whole coalition has gathered about 7,000 magic cannons, including imitation disposable magic cannons, fortress cannons, and the latest army magic cannons.

This let Arcado know that the drawings of Genesis have been lost and a large part of them have been lost. This part of the technology includes a series of production methods such as forging, metallurgy, processing, etc., as well as military products such as magic cannons.

While ordering to raise the vigilance of Genesis again and reorganizing his troops, Arcado had to face a stronger enemy, an enemy army equipped with a large number of magic cannons.
