Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 221 is on the front line

After the full mobilization of the Principality of Sidings, the newly formed legions could not compete with the Guards of the Kingdom of Ovilas, and their defenses were almost in turmoil. And the Principality of Eskilin, the Principality of Rimondra, the reinforcements of the six legions sent by the Cannes of the Canas, could not withstand the fierce military front of the army of the Kingdom of Ovilas, retreating and losing one by one. position.

Obviously, the army of the kings of Ovila, commanded by the Great Prince of Hansback, wanted to repeat the strategy of the previous Blue Feather Legion. He wanted to capture the country of Edinnes, the capital of the Principality of the Westin, and the death of the Principality of Sidings. Set the overall situation of this battle. At the very least, the senior commanders of the anti-Africa allied coalition forces think so...

According to the information obtained during the defensive warfare on the front line, the Kingdom of Ovilas was mainly based on the Guards Corps. Together with the four second-line corps, they took turns to attack and stepped closer to Evinasburg. Then there are a total of seven legions plus a number of miscellaneous battle camps of the Orpheus kingdom. It seems that there should be two second-line corps to guard against the three corps of the flanked Nasri kingdom. Therefore, as long as the front line is stretched, if the three legions of the Nasri Kingdom can break through the defensive positions of the two legions, then the army of the kings of Ovilas will repeat the old embarrassment of the three legions of the Blue Feathers Corps. Once again, the anti-Africa alliance coalition forces besieged in the plains of Emilia.

So the Kingdom of Siddings once again built and perfected the defense facilities and positions of the Eifinsburg in the country, calling on the nationals to work together to resist the aggressor's attack in Effingasburg. The legions of the other three principalities also basically retreat with a little resistance, abandoning the defensive positions to lengthen the logistics supply line of the army of the kings of Ovilas, and let the main force of the kingdom of Ovilas move forward, to the back of Nasser. The raid of the kingdom of the kingdom left an opportunity.

It’s just that no one expected that the goal of the Kingdom of Ovilas was not the Ephninesburg, the capital of the Principality of the Westin, but the reinforcements of the three legions of the Nasri Kingdom. When the guards of the Guards arrived at the last line of defense of the Blue Feathers in the 40-mile range from Aifinasburg, the commanders of the flanked Nasri kingdoms believed that the time had come, such as to themselves. The defensive position of a second-line legion in the former Kingdom of Ovilas launched an offensive.

Everything was expected by the commander of the army of the Nasri kingdom. The second-line corps of the defensive Omeras kingdom could not withstand the assaults of two standing corps and a second-line army in the Nasri kingdom. It was broken. The three corps of the Nasri Kingdom began to travel to the back road of the Kingdom of Ovilas, ready to circumnavigate and encircle the five squadrons of the Ovilas Kingdom on the front line.

Only when the three corps of the Nasri Kingdom passed the defense line of the second-line army of the Ovila Kingdom, the second-line corps that had been thought to have been defeated had already recovered their strength. They were under the cooperation of another second-line army. Once again seized the line of defense, and moved to build a more complete defensive position, the strange thing about this defensive line is that it is not protected inside.

At the same time, the two second-line legions of the Guarding Legion, which received the letter from Yingying, immediately turned to the right, and moved to the right. They occupied two seaport cities and Emilia along the coast of the Principality of Sides. Set the line of defense between the plains and strategic locations. While the three legions that had been moving forward left a second-line corps in situ, the Guards Corps and other second-line corps turned around and marched toward the three corps of the Nasri Kingdom, which had copied the road.

When the legions of the three Nasri kingdoms found themselves in the front and left and right sides of the army of the reconnaissance cavalry of the kings of Ovilas, they felt that some situations were not very good. I hurriedly sent troops to exploratory attacks. I found that the enemy had set up a defensive front on all sides. The original enemies of the enemy had already fallen into the encirclement of the enemy...

Not to mention how the three corps of the Nasri Kingdom have saved themselves. Anyway, they want to count on allies to come to rescue. It is probably hopeless. The four rulings may also resist several rounds and let them go to Olvera It is impossible for the kingdom's army to take the initiative to launch an attack. Otherwise, it will not be in the city of Ames for nearly half a year.

Crowder’s battalion battalion did not have an ambush mission after the start of the war. In addition, they were not scouting cavalry. They did not need to go to the front line. The order received was to follow the Hansbach Grand Prince’s treasury. The Hansback prince was in the city of Amys, which gave Claude a period of time to train his new squadron with full staffing.

However, when the three corps of the Nasri Kingdom began to fall into the trap set by the Great Hansback Prince, the Great Hansback prince insisted on moving the Chinese army before the big account, commanding more than 50 battalions to block. Retreat from the army of the Nasri kingdom. The officers of the servants persuaded the prince to order others to command and perform this task, but the prince could only smile, he was on the front line, and these battle camps would be obedient. If others were allowed to go, the result would be hard to say.

Don't look at the prince's fifty-five battle camps, but also the strength of a single legion, but in addition to the two battle battalions that were dispatched by the seven legions of the front line and the battalions that the prince himself built, they have more combat power, and the remaining three. More than a dozen battalions are rushing to the front line of the battalion camp from all over the kingdom. These local troops usually take the task of garrisoning and escorting the logistics and heavy materials. They are really qualified. They really want to go to the front line and fight with the enemy. It requires strict supervision. It is not the big prince who can't live without them.

Although the three legions of the Nasri kingdom trapped in the encirclement are likely to break out, because the breakout in this direction can only be a dead end, the front and the left and right sides are pressed, followed by the tightly guarded city of Amis. If the Nasri kingdom breaks in this direction, there is no way to escape. But the great prince of Hansback still has to consider encircling the enemy in the plains of Emilia, instead of letting them suddenly fall under the city of Amis, which will only delay the time of the war. For the kingdom, the price paid will be Bigger.

The goal of the Battle of the Kingdom of Ovilas is to destroy the three legions of the Nasri Kingdom. As long as the three legions are eliminated, the reinforcements of the remaining three Principalities and the armed forces of the Principality of Siddings are not sufficient. Thoughts. In the anti-Africa alliance, the army of the Nasri Kingdom is more combative, and the armed forces of the other four principalities are not enough to compete with the army of the Kingdom of Ovilas.

The battalion battalion follows the Hansback Grand Prince to the front line, and the edge of the Emilia Plain is a hilly area with many small hills. The Great Prince directed the fifty battle camps under his command to lay a tight defensive front with this hilly area, blocking the back of the three regiments of the Nasri Kingdom.

Claude also received a mission to lead his squadron to clear all hidden enemies and threats within 30 miles of the northwest. This is almost a search for the hilly area in the northwest, because this hilly area is so big, less than ten hills. The so-called hidden enemies and threats mean whether the deserted areas of the deserters or the scattered Sidings are hidden in this hilly area, avoiding their proximity to the camp where the big princes are stationed.

Claude divided the squadron into four teams, searched in a fan shape, and commanded himself. The main goal was to search for caves and woods around the water source in the mountains, and valleys. Because people hide in the mountains, they can eat casually, and the wild vegetables can fill the stomach, but the clean water source is necessary. There is no clean water source, and people can't survive in the mountain forest.

On the first day of the search, Claude’s squadron caught more than a dozen deserters from the West Dings. It seems that the above order to clean up this hilly area is justified. Now the fifty princes commanded fifty battle camps. Arranged in front, the last part is the camp where the big prince is stationed. There is only one guard camp next to it, and it is easy to be approached from behind.

In the evening, Claude found a semi-derelict mountain village, located on the mountainside of a small stone mountain. There are only six old people and three young children in the village, and no one else. Asked people to search and ask again in the past, the reply is that this small mountain village is called Phoenix Village. In the past, the villagers used to grow herbs to survive. Last year’s war broke out. Most of the men in the village were forced to recruit soldiers. Many deserters arrived at the mountain village, and the food and women were taken away. Now the remaining six villagers and three children are living together.

There is nothing worthwhile in the mountain village. The old man and the child also depend on digging wild vegetables and some cassava left in the former Yamada, but one old man said that there is a small pool in a valley not far from the village. It is this mountain. A large puddle of two streams of water. A few days ago, he wanted to catch a few brook fish to make some delicious food for the three children. As a result, he found a group of deserters at the waterhole and brought a few women. He did not dare to pass.

Claude gave these old people some salt and dried cheese and dried brown bread, so the old people told Crowder that the place where the hills can be hidden, and also painted a simple map. Give a more detailed explanation.

When he slept, Berklin took Aberev and Diavid found Claude. They always suspected that the old men were lying. Because many veterans tell them, don't trust any inhabitants of an enemy country. They say that friendship is likely to send you to death. As an aggressor, you must know what you are. You are their enemy. They cannot treat you as a friend. .

Crowder shook his head with a smile, and the veterans said that it really makes sense. The problem is to see what the situation is. They occupy the cities of other countries and enter the homes of local residents to rob the property. No one will treat them as friends. But when they are robbers are aggressors.

The only hope for the elderly and children who survived in this semi-derelict mountain village is to live well. Claude went to the mountain village and did not rob them. Instead, they gave them dry food and salt. Although they did not regard Claude as a friend, they did not regard them as enemies. They compared Claude, who are hiding in the hills. They are even more threatening to them. They told Claude about these conditions and hope that Claude can help them eliminate these dangers.

It turns out that Claude’s judgment is correct. For a week’s search, Claude’s squadron captured and captured more than 100 deserters from the Principality of West Dings in this hilly area, and saved more than 20 A lot of women, most of them are caught in places where the old man told Claude to hide. If it weren't for the terrain in this hilly area, Claude wondered if these deserters would be kings here.

In these seven days, there were more than a dozen battles in the big and small, but the combat strength of these deserters was also very good. They only caused three people in the Claude squadron to be injured, but they were killed by 20 or 30 people. Claude lamented that for any country, the harm of deserters is enormous. The elderly and children in the mountain village that Claude met are still lucky. Two other mountain villages in this hilly area have been The deserter has become a ghost village, and there is no survivor.

When Claude came back with the captive and rescued woman, he heard a bad news. The three legions of the surrounded Nasri Kingdom were forced to the rear under the siege of the army of the Kingdom of Ovilas. Break through. Although it is known that it is a dead end, it is worthwhile to have more time to survive. Only a dozen local police battalions placed in the forefront of the first line of defense were not good enough. They quickly lost their defensive positions under the impact of the enemy’s desperation, giving the army of the Nasri Kingdom a valuable breathing space. .

The great prince of Hansback was very angry. He had already rushed to the second line of defense and issued a decree. Any soldier who did not order to withdraw would be arrested and executed on the spot. The squad finally managed to maintain the second line of defense that was crumbling under the murder of the Nasri kingdom, and Claude also received an order and immediately rushed to the second line of defense to report to the battalion....
