My Empire

"These demons! These **** demons!" A woman holding a child cried helplessly in the panic and crowded crowd. There was chaos everywhere in the entire east of Mayne, and there was a tragedy on earth where the rebels in Ferry City passed.

Although the number is scarce, the cavalry in Dukou City still possesses tremendous lethality when facing the civilians.

These dozens of cavalry strangers yelled to pass by the edge of the crowd on their horses, using their whips to greet the civilians who wanted to escape.

"Okay! We've been living here for decades! You can't force us to leave our hometown!" An old man knelt down to the side of the road, kowtow crying, hoping for the indifferent Ferry City soldiers You can let them go.

It is a pity that the soldiers who were eager to go back to share the spoils did not pity the old man, but kicked him to the ground with one kick and let him roll off the roadbed unconscious.

"Over there! There is a pretty girl over there!" At the intersection of the village, several soldiers from the Ferry City seemed to have discovered the New World, calling out their companions loudly.

And in the village, in a courtyard, a girl was desperately stuffing her son under the bed: "Don't come out! Don't come out! Don't move! Don't make any noise!"

The child looked at his mother with big curious eyes, and then his vision was blocked by the lowered bed sheet.

A few seconds later, a loud noise came in that the courtyard gate was knocked down, and then the woman shouted hysterically: "Don't come here! Don't come!"

"Ah!" A soldier seemed anxious to be attacked and suffered a great loss. He let out a scream, and then there was a sound of broken things.

The little boy waited until there was no movement outside before he dared to pick up the sheets and crawl out of the bed. Then he saw his mother lying on the ground disheveled, staring at him with a pair of eyes.

He crawled over and pushed his mother vigorously, but his mother remained motionless. He stretched out his hand to fiddle with his mother's hair, and sat next to his mother, letting the spreading blood stain his pants red.

The tragedy continued to spread in all corners of the east of Mayne. Countless refugees who had escaped flocked to Mayne Castle, only to find that the black iron flag of the Ailan Hill family of Serris had been hung there.

…

In the battle of the Eastern Forest, Chris was victorious. He gathered more than 200 soldiers who came one after another, escorted more than 1,000 prisoners, and returned to Seres mightily. The 2000 army in Mayne City was defeated on the frontal battlefield, allowing Chris to pick up a big deal.

There are almost 1,200 adult males, so he can step up the development of his own mine and increase his steel output. Similarly, because of these prisoners, Serris City’s troops did not encounter any resistance when they rushed into Mayne’s territory.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chris led 50 cavalry troops to cross the eastern forest first and regained a large border area occupied by Mayne.

Three days later, the messenger returning from Mayne City sent Chris good news: Wagron had already occupied Mayne City, and now Chris had two castles.

Because the difference in strength was too great, the battle of the Eastern Forest came and went faster, and Mayne, as the first force to attack Chris, was wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Although I don't know the attitude of the Arante Empire, in fact Chris has now become the master of the two cities. Leading the guards to speed up all the way, Chris quickly rushed to Mayne, where he met Wagron who had been waiting for a long time.

"The situation is very bad! The lord Berman of Ferry City took advantage of the fire and swept the eastern part of Mayne!" As soon as they met, Wagron reported a bad news.

His soldiers are too few, which prevents him from risking abandoning Mayne Castle to stop the looting of Ferry City.

Hearing this news, Chris who was walking suddenly stopped and looked at Wagron: "What's the matter?"

"Dukou City took advantage of the fire and attacked Mayne Castle... but I was robbed of it, so they retreated." Wagron explained, "But they swept away the civilians in the east and took everything they could take away. ."

"How many things they destroyed, they must pay back ten times!" Chris scolded angrily: "I won't trouble him, but he sent it to the door! Death!"

But soon he suppressed his anger, even if he wanted to attack Dukou City, he still needs to be fully prepared.

Now he can mobilize very few troops, and relying on two or three hundred men to attack Dukou City is too risky.

Continuing to step forward, he walked to the study room used by Mayne City Lord Ensel before his death. Sitting behind Ensel's luxurious desk, Chris gave another command: "Stop Mayne civilians first!"

After thinking for a while, he continued to order: "divide the gold coins we brought! Let Mayne's civilians accept the fact that they are ruled by us! Exempt them from some extra taxes."

It is not easy to occupy a place. He must do every detail: "Post a notice and tell everyone that we have captured more than 1,000 Meyn soldiers. They will serve in the mine for one year. Will be released safely!"

Only by allowing Mayne civilians to accept his rule can he truly win the war: "The fallen Mayne soldiers will be compensated by the money seized by Mayne City!"

After arranging the occupation of Mayne, he told Wagron again: "You send someone back to Seris, so that Diens will immediately put the facts in front of everyone, and share the victory of the war with all the surrounding forces. "

Chris stretched out his first finger and began to introduce his plan in detail: "On the one hand, after the war is over, we must immediately reduce tariffs and give the benefits to the other three forces. Start selling woodworking machinery at low prices. , Even if the situation is urgent, give it away for free!"

After speaking, he extended a second finger: "Distribute the gold coins we reserve these days to all civilians! Serris and Mayne are treated equally!"

Then he stretched out his third finger and continued: "Seris will be exempted from agricultural taxes for one year and agricultural subsidies will be issued! Stabilize the mood of the civilians and tell everyone that the war is over!..."

Having said this, he remembered another thing, and looked at Wagron and said: "Reward all the soldiers in this battle, one gold coin for each! If the money in his hand is not enough, he will wait for Desaier to bring the money back. Distribute!"

"Yes!" Wagron's face was filled with the joy of victory, his right hand clenched a fist on his chest and nodded: "I will do it now!"

In fact, there are still many things for Chris to deal with in the follow-up, such as the important issue of conscription: He now has two castles, his territory has almost doubled, and of course he needs more troops to garrison.

Now he is still in a passive state embarrassed on all sides: so the required force cannot be reduced at all: it was not enough to expand the army to 2,000 before, and now he needs at least 3,000 to defend all his land.

"It's really a headache." While looking at Ensel's luxurious study, Chris exclaimed worriedly.

He has now revealed his hole cards, and if he delays for another month, the surrounding forces will almost focus on him. At that time, it would be difficult to expand...

Therefore, he must do it as soon as possible on the Ferry City side! As long as he can quickly resolve Dukou City, he can reduce the pressure on one side and gather more troops to deal with threats in the other three directions.

An hour later, Chris drew up a new combat plan. He wanted to assemble all the available soldiers from Seris and Mayne and immediately attacked Ferry City.

"The first thing we need to do is to gather our troops as quickly as possible, and then use the fastest speed to send the troops to the territory of Ferry." Chris referred to the tactics of the blitz in World War II and formulated the basic operational policy. .

Serris has 500 cavalry. These elite cavalry fighters are still very sturdy, and the advancing speed should be sufficient.

Wagron also felt that it was a very suitable tactic to use cavalry to advance quickly, so that they could save a lot of food, and in a disguised form, the insufficient reserves of war supplies became sufficient.

"Basically, there are no decent cavalry in Dukou City, and the size of a hundred or ten people is not a threat to us." A detailed map of Dukou City was found in the castle of Maine, and Wagron began to introduce the other side in detail The situation comes.

Although there is no detailed battle plan, as the army commander of the city of Seris, Wagron is still responsible for understanding the military deployment of the surrounding forces.

This gave Chris a more intuitive reference: the armament of Ferry City is severely biased, and the cavalry is less than Mayne, but they have about 1,200 infantry and 700 navy.

Of course, to attack the ferry from Mayne, there is no need to go to sea, so the 700-man navy is basically not a threat. The only thing left to deal with is the 1,200 infantry.

Hearing these introductions, Chris drew up a seemingly feasible plan. He ordered Wagron to lead 300 cavalry to quickly assemble on the border, and then sweep the border troops in the scattered Ferry City.

As long as Wagron can eliminate about 200 infantrymen in Dukou City, or annihilate those unweathered Dukou cavalry, it can almost force the opponent to abandon the field and retreat to Dukou City across the board.

"Once the opponent gives up the field battle!" Chris pointed his finger at the small water cup that was placed at the end, symbolizing his own cannon: "I will personally lead the main force and bring all 20 cannons to Ferry City!"
