Otherworldly Castle Era

Xia’s first division and cavalry division began to send troops from the territory of the former Yili joint, marching towards the east, and will continue to attack the coast of the sea.

The first goal of the two divisions was Bernese Germany, whose country suffered heavy losses due to their participation in the union. At this time, facing the nearly 100,000 troops of Xia Guo's two divisions, Bernese Germany had no resistance.

The speed at which Bernsey Germany fell was the speed of Xia's advance, and only when it encountered the city, it would be blocked, so as not to let Xia's army commander drive straight in.

In any case, the fall of Bernsey Germany is doomed, and the complete fall is only a matter of time.

In the south, Zhou Wu led the imperial guards and the city guards led by Zhang Wei to calm down the area outside Shanhaiguan.

This combination of the two is the first time since Xia Guo has grown and developed. I think that when the two joined forces, they were still conquering the primitive natives on the southern wasteland.

Regarding how to pacify the area outside Shanhaiguan, Yang Song and Liu Ji specifically pointed out a general direction for Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei before they set out. The rest of the details are left to their own discretion.

In the general direction of the offensive, one of the most important points is to ensure the smooth logistics of the northern army. This point cannot be mistaken!

Therefore, after discussion between Zhang Wei and Zhou Wu, they decided to send troops to divide the vassal state outside the pass into two parts, to ensure that the logistics supply line can be smooth.

After ensuring smooth logistics, the troops will be divided into two parts, and at the same time they will attack the east and west sides until they completely occupy all the land of the vassal state.

Then they joined forces again and attacked the Fulimet country further east together, ensuring that there was no worries before moving westward-this was the second major attack direction Liu Ji pointed out to the two of them.

For this reason, it is not hesitate to give up part of the occupied land on the west side. This is also a last resort because of insufficient military strength.

As long as you completely occupy the country of Fulimet in the east, and finally move westward, everything will not be an obstacle at that time.

In the battle between the two armies, the gains and losses of one city and one place are not a big problem, as long as the final victory can be ensured.

...

After spending less than ten days, Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei quickly reopened the logistics channel, the Imperial Guards and the City Guards will be divided.

Before the division of the army, Zhou Wu held a fist in a salute to Zhang Wei, and said solemnly and earnestly: "General Zhang, the logistics channel ordered by the king is now clear. Next, you and I will be divided, and I hope to take care."

Next, Zhou Wu will lead most of the Imperial Guards to march eastward, and Zhang Wei will also take 90% of the City Guards to attack westward.

Because some of the vassal states in the east have less land and the west is larger, the two decided that a smaller Janitor would attack the east, and a larger city guard would attack the west.

Although the Imperial Guard was divided into two regiments, even with the remaining strength, its combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of a complete city guard, or even stronger.

It's just that the area on the east is small, but the force that the Janissaries will face is actually no less than that on the west.

Because there is a militant Fulimet state further east, the four vassal states have concentrated most of their forces on the border between the two forces.

If it hadn’t been for Xia Guo to provide the vassal states with 100,000 young labors before, so that the conflicts between the vassal states and the Fulimet state were stopped, otherwise it is estimated that there is still a continuous battle on the border. .

It was precisely because the vassal state provided Xia Guo with one hundred thousand young men, which directly lost nearly half of the military strength of the vassal states, and also allowed the Imperial Guards and the City Guards to easily attack and take all the vassal states.

Zhang Wei personally led the headquarters of the city guards to take down another small town. He stood on the only western wall of the town that was still intact and looked at the soldiers from the headquarters who were driving residents out of the city.

"General Qi, the front is the place of chaos." Zhang Wei's guards walked up to the city and gave him a fist in a salute.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei turned and looked outside the city. He was still wondering how this area was so desolate and there were not many residents at all. On the contrary, there were rebellious soldiers everywhere. It turned out that they had hit the border.

"It's time to go back." Zhang Wei thought to himself, and then ordered the guards who were on standby behind him: "Let the brothers speed up their movements, clean up the town, rest again tonight, and retreat tomorrow."

By this time, it had been a month since the division of forces with Zhou Wu, and Zhang Wei had also been out for a month without knowing it.

From the beginning of the campaign, the fighting spirit was high, and the final numbness seemed to last for more than a month, but for the whole army, it was a torment.

Over the past month or so, the city guards have experienced no fewer than a hundred battles, most of which were deportation battles. In addition, the four siege battles during the capture of the capitals of the four vassal states were considered hard battles.

However, Zhang Wei believes that after the baptism of this war, the city guards will undergo a transformation, from a second-line security and guarding army to an elite army with rich combat experience.

This can be regarded as an experience for the city guard, just to fill in the "absence" in the previous training plan.

...

Different from the experienced city guards, the imperial guards led by Zhou Wu were originally elites drawn from the various armies, plus the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and heavy equipment, the imperial guards could be described as Xia Guo The most powerful division.

It was precisely because of the strong combat power of the Imperial Guard that they rushed to the eastern region where the vassal states gathered heavily.

The battle of the Janissaries came quickly, and on the second day of the division, they encountered a vassal army that had withdrawn their troops—an encounter in the wild unexpectedly.

There were only 28,500 guards against the enemy’s 30,000 retreat troops. Under the bombardment of 330 field artillery and 110 siege artillery, the enemy’s 30,000 The army is simply vulnerable!

Even under the chase of 15900 cavalry, the enemy's army did not even have a chance to escape, and was wiped out on the plains more than 20 kilometers east of Nanshan City.

Such a powerful firepower and such a large number of maneuvering forces are precisely the strong offensive power of the Imperial Guard, which is not possessed by the other divisions.

Immediately afterwards, with the advance of the Imperial Guards, they encountered one after another retreating tributary troops. It seemed that the offensive of the West Side Guards went very smoothly.

When the Imperial Guards and the City Guards joined forces to open the logistics channel, they encountered several troops retreating from the eastern border.

It is precisely because Xia Guo’s army opened up the logistics supply line ~www.novelmtl.com~ which separated the ties between the east and the west of the tributary countries, it also made the troops of the tributary countries placed in the east lose their logistical supplies, and they had previously fought against them Doesn't the army want to get through logistics supplies?

Therefore, the army encountered by the Janissaries was not so much a retreat, it was not to say that it wanted to open up the connection between the east and the west, otherwise its lack of logistics would not take long for the east army to be defeated without a fight.

This continual retreating army made the Guards march all the way and fight all the way. Because of this, when the Guards reached the final frontier, they didn't see anyone at all.

In fact, before the Guards came to the border, the soldiers of Fulimet had already occupied the area where the vassal states had withdrawn, but after Fulimet knew of the arrival of Xia's army, it was “wise” to retreat.

In less than half a month, the Guards completed their occupation of the eastern part of the vassal state. Afterwards, while waiting for the confluence of the city guards, the Guards stopped at the borders of the vassal states and the Fulimet state and dispatched them by the way. Its two cavalry battalions are used to maintain the logistics line.

At this point, until the day when Zhang Wei led the city guards to return, the Xia country occupied all the land of the four vassal states that he surrendered-although this land was not very stable and peaceful!
