Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 211, the beginning of the crisis

When the later military historians commented on this campaign named Efenasburg, they all agreed that the biggest mistake of the anti-African alliance was to ignore the strategic position of the city. If the two corps of the Nasri Kingdom first occupy the city of Emis, then the dog can be closed and the blue feathers of the kingdom of Ovilas and the two second-line corps will be trapped in the love of the Principality of Siddings. In the plains of Mia, the ending of the whole army is inevitable.

However, the wars of this era pay attention to the survival of the enemy, and the occupation of the city is not so urgent. For the military commanders of the anti-Africa alliance, as long as the Blue Feather Legion and the two second-line corps are encircled, the occupied towns will be as ripe as the fruit, and will soon fall into their own hands. Therefore, they think that there is no need to transfer a legion to attack the city of Amys, and to disperse their power in vain.

The mistake of the Blue Feather Legion was that they knew that they had no idea. They did not expect that the enemy they faced was not two hundred thousand, but more than four hundred thousand enemies would be surrounded by three sides. In addition to the Blue Feather Legion and the two second-line corps on the front line is about to usher in a **** battle, there is also a second-line army in the Kingdom of Ovilas in the Principality of Siddings, but this second-line army has been dismantled. The anti-Austrian five countries have always believed that this second-line army is stationed in the city of Amis...

This second-line corps from Chanalal County is composed of a local battalion battalion and a garrison recruiting new recruits. It is also the preparation of four divisions. However, after entering the Principality of Siddings, two divisions were first assigned to the two seaport cities that were newly occupied by the Blue Feather Legion, and then a division was sent to **** the seven or eighty thousand prisoners to return to the country. The strength of a division is also stationed in the city of Emis.

However, this division was dismantled by Prince Weidelik. In the formation of the regiment and battalion, under the leadership of the honorary officers who followed the prince to reach the city of Emis, they went to the towns of the whole country of West Dings to collect the war tax. As the property of a carriage and carriage was transported to the city of Emmys, the Prince of Widrek sent more and more people, and the distance was farther and farther. At the end of the guarding of the city of Emis, the second-line legion was left. a battalion.

If it wasn’t for the Blue Feather Legion’s eleventh field battalion and the battalion’s combat battalion, which was only responsible for protecting the personal safety of Prince Wedrek and was not subject to his dispatch, he might even receive a prince to let them collect the war tax. The command.

The military commanders of the Anti-African Five Leagues do not understand this situation. They think that the city of Amys should be stationed in the two divisions of the Chanalal Army. Therefore, at least one legion is needed to conquer the city of Amy. What they are most worried about is that attacking the city of Amys will be a stunned snake, causing the attention of the frontline Blue Feather Legion. If the Blue Feather Legion finds itself trapped in the encirclement and immediately leads the two second-line corps to break through, then the two standing corps of the Nasri Kingdom in the rear are really not guaranteed to resist, and if they are rushed out by the enemy, they will fall short. It is.

In fact, the anti-Africa alliance does not know that there are only three battalions in the city of Amys. Otherwise, if you send a division of the division, you will be able to take the city of Amys and completely close the door of the blue-legged army. .

The secret agent of the Principality of West Dings, who was lurking in the city of Ames, wanted to send out the information of the city of Amys. As a result, he encountered a squadron that was taxed back on the road. Because the horse riding was so majestic and even caused the soldier's greed, he was robbed by the name of the inspection. Because the detective's resistance was again slammed, not only did he be seriously injured but also stripped of his clothes and threw him into the wild to die. Even if it was lucky, the agent was rescued by a peasant woman. When he was injured in the peasant house, the battle of Evinasburg was over...

The first day of the campaign began on the morning of October 3. The Blue Feathers Army first withstood a series of attacks by the four Principality coalition forces, and launched a counterattack in the face of their defeat, and repulsed the enemy in nearly 20 miles. , once again forced to fall under Efenasburg. In the battle report issued to Prince Wedrek that night, the enemy was not unexpectedly weak, lack of training and no fighting power. The day’s battle was estimated to have more than 10,000 casualties, while the Blue Feather Legion only injured more than 2,000 people. . The casualty rate of one to five allowed the high-level leader of the Blue Feather Legion to express confidence that it would kill the enemy in less than ten days and attack Evanasburg.

Because of the war report sent by the front line, Prince Widrek specially held a grand celebration ball in the city of Amis, inviting all officers above the level of the city of Amis. Prince Wedrek raised the glass at the ball, cheered the great victory of the Blue Feather Legion, and wished to overcome Ephninesburg as soon as possible and annihilate the Principality of Siddings. Everyone is happy, and most people are drunk.

In fact, Prince Widlerk is not a person who only knows how to play with nature. On the contrary, he has an extremely keen instinct. When the battalion of the Chanalal Legion, which ran the farthest to levy the tax, encountered a standing army of two Nasri kingdoms who were marching to circumnavigate the Blue Feathers, they only ran back to several horses. Officer.

This is the afternoon of October 4th. These lucky escaped officers reported their encounters to the newly-wounded Prince Weidek, who was just out of breath. The prince only saw the map of the Principality of Siddings. In less than ten minutes, a decision was made to order his own attendant to pack his bags and inform the Guards' Legion's combat battalion to immediately **** him to the city of Amis.

So the officers and men of the 11th Field Camp of the Blue Feathers Army inexplicably watched the princes of Prince Wedrek and the battle camp of the Guards Corps as if they were in the ass, and they left a lot of logistics and heavy burdens. Nearly fifty carriages full of belongings rushed away from the city of Amis and flew away to the Odin Mountains.

The battalion commander of the eleventh field battalion, Major Jebson, got the news and rushed to the gate of the city to stop the carriage of Prince Wedrek and asked if he would follow this battalion. As a result, Prince Widler ordered Major Jebson to preside over and defend the city of Eames, and to deliver all the affairs of the city to him, and he would **** the property collected in the name of the war tax back to the state treasury... ...

Fortunately, Major Jebson was a good soldier. Although he was in a hurry to get rid of the prince of Widrek, he obviously felt that something was wrong. He immediately rode to visit the four gates of the city of Emis, and got the east. The return of the gatekeeper knew that after several officers returned to the city at a little o'clock in the afternoon, he quickly returned to the city's main house and found those few who were overwhelmed by the departure of Prince Weidelik. The officer of the Ararat.

Knowing their experiences from the few officers who fled back, Major Jebson immediately understood the reason why Prince Wedrek left when he looked at the map. He couldn't help but swear, not because the prince fled, but the prince only fled his own, tidying up his belongings and luggage, forcibly collecting carriages and hummers, wasting an afternoon, but did not expect to send a messenger to inform the Blue Feathers. Now the three legions of the front line do not know that the imminent crisis has come, they will soon be surrounded by the enemy.

Major Jebsen immediately sent three teams of messengers to the front line, asking them to pass the situation to the Blue Feather Legion anyway, and mobilizing here, mainly in the eleventh field camp, to defend the city of Emmys. Arranged and sent several teams to scout the cavalry, on the one hand to detect the enemy's movements, on the other hand to inform those troops scattered in various towns to collect the war tax, asking them to turn the Amys City defense immediately, regardless of the three seven twenty-one. ......

After releasing a series of orders, Major Jebson finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the prince of Weidek, who had already left, and he had the urge to make a big fuss. At this moment, his brain flashed, thinking of a problem, hurriedly called his own guards, let him immediately ride two people to the entrance of the Odin Mountains to see the Prince of Weidelik.

The eleventh field camp was busy with chickens and dogs. The four brigades took over the garrison of four gates and four walls, which made the city of Emiss initially defensive and would not be smashed by the enemy. Major Jebsen ordered the remaining garrison of the Chaniala Legion to maintain the order of the city, and at the same time recruited experienced officers to reorganize the taxation units that had returned, as a reserve team for the eleventh field camp... ...

In the midst of a squad, Crowder suddenly found that the squadron of his treatment facility did not receive any task and seemed to be doing nothing. The main reason for this is that the officers in the camp are mostly aware of the details of the guard squadron. They did not take Claude into consideration when arranging the defensive operations plan.

So Claude decided to go to the camp to ask the second lieutenant, how should the guard squadron be arranged. In Claude's heart, the entire guard squadron is equipped with the Obas three-type arquebus, which is based on precise shooting. The soldiers also receive live-fire training of precise shooting, which should be compared in the defensive battle. Important role.

However, when Claude went to the camp and found himself to be a little unfortunate, the battalion commander and several officers were furious, and the ones who made them so angry were the unreasonable Prince Wedlerk. Because when they were on the mountain road, because the carriages carrying the property were too heavy and too difficult to go up the mountain and lacked the care of the people, the prince actually ordered the soldiers of a battalion in Chanialal, who guarded the Odin Mountains. In the past, they took care of these carriages and helped them to cross the mountain roads and gave up their duties to guard the mountain roads.

Fortunately, Major Jebsen thought of this and sent his own guards to look at the situation. As a result, the guards came back and reported that there was no guard at the entrance to the mountain. Everyone knew that Prince Wedrek was giving himself again. It’s a pig teammate! The officers who heard the news in the camp couldn't help but yell.

Although the city of Amys is only four or five miles from the entrance to the Odin Mountains, controlling the city of Amys also controls the entrance to the Odin Mountains. But after all, there is still a distance, and Prince Widlerk will take away one of the battalions there, so there is no defensive line from the entrance of the mountain road to the two defensive fronts set up by the Madinsk Principality on the mountain. soldier.

If the enemy sends a small team to bypass the city of Ames, first occupying the entrance to the mountain range of the Odin Mountains, and then accepting the two defensive fronts, it is equivalent to cutting off all the Ovi in ​​the territory of the Principality of Sides. The retreat of the army of the Kingdom of Ras. At that time, it was really called the sky, and the land was not working. Even if the enemy had few troops on the mountain defensive front, it was the last straw to overwhelm the balance. The possibility of the whole army being annihilated is not small.

There have been reconnaissance cavalry to report back, and the legions of the Nasri Kingdom, which had been escorted by the officers of the Chanyar Army, who had escaped, had already separated the strength of a division to the city of Emis. Now the remaining troops in the city and the taxation teams that have been gathered and returned are less than a group. The main force of the defense is to rely on the eleventh field battalion of the Blue Feather Legion. As for the second line army of the Chaniala Legion. No one officer believes that their fighting power is strong.

It is embarrassing for the battalion officers such as Major Jebson to be able to mobilize the troops of the 10th Field Camp to defend the entrance to the Odin Mountains, even if a squadron does not. As for the troops of the Chanialal Legion, no one can rest assured that I am afraid that the warriors at the entrance to the mountain will escape first, or they will not be able to withstand the attack of the enemy team. No one believes they have a reliable combat power...

At this time, Claude went to the battalion and just hit the incident. He watched the eyes of Lieutenant Moss coming up. He pointed to Claude and shouted: "It’s you..."

Many officers in the battalion have seen the field confrontation drill of the Fukby Mountain Autumn Army Camp. They suddenly discovered that this squadron of Claude is the most appropriate candidate. The squadron of the treatment facility was counted and sent to defend the entrance to the Odin Mountains.

In this way, Claude received the first formal combat command, leading the squadron to coordinate with a squadron of the Chayralal Legion to defend the entrance to the Odin Mountains.
