Chapter 467 Chapter Thunder Attack
Perhaps for the Hicks, the floating trestle in the fishing port town is their confidence in the confrontation with the Thunder Legion outside Lanhu City. As long as there is that floating trestle, whether it is the follow-up support force or the supplement of military supplies will be continuously transmitted. So after learning that the fishing port town was burned into a white floating trestle and was also burned down, the Hicks in the camp outside Lanhu City immediately started the commotion, and everyone knew that they had no way.
For the territorial war zone, the nearly 100,000 Hicks have become a shackle and have lost their threat. In particular, their senior officers and commanders did not know what to think about, and they even wanted to retreat to Mormarly. Claude later asked several senior prisoners to learn the reason. The Hicks wanted to retreat to the Mormaly lord, and built a pontoon from the beach area to the deep sea, giving the trapped 890,000 horses. Find a way to live.
One of the two local garrisons under the direct control of Mormali was dispatched to the army of General Beechling, who was fighting in the mountains along the eastern front. The other received an emergency order from Claude and went to the port of Chibichus, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Tilsim. There is no defender in the Mormali governor. The Hicks only dispatched two light-riding field teams to successfully occupy the entire territory. Perhaps this is the Hicks decision to return to Mormari. The reason for direct jurisdiction.
Claude can only mourn for the nearly 100,000 Hicks. If he is the front line commander of the Hicks, then there is only one option, that is, the troops will retreat to the fishing port town, and the logging will be rebuilt to build a floating trestle. So that the troops can escape from birth. How to say that the fishing port town is also much closer than the coastal town directly under the jurisdiction of Mormali. Even if it is burned into white land, the mountainous area around the village is mostly mountain forest. It is still possible to build a temporary pontoon.
However, the senior officers of the Hicks decided to withdraw to the coastal town directly under the jurisdiction of Mormaly, where a pontoon was built on the beach by the sea. This is no longer a matter of reality and command. Quite simply, after the Thunder Army arrived in Lanhu City, the Hicks no longer had the possibility that the infantry units could leave the camp. The light cavalry of the Thunder Legion that had roared had mastered the initiative of the entire battlefield.
Especially at night, for the Hicks in the camp, the Thunder Legion has almost become the nightmare of all Hicks officers. They launched attacks in all directions of the camp, bombarded the camp with tossing bombs, and the Hicks were fighting and fighting everywhere, and they did not let the Thunder Army attack the camp. Many Hicks officers have never slept in a stable state after the Thunder Corps arrived in Lanhu City. Two black eyes have become their most visible signs.
As for the light cavalry of the royal family's reserve army, it was murdered by the Thunder Legion, even if it was impossible to leave the throwing throwing range of the camp during the day. Numerous light cavalry who were dispatched to reconnaissance left the camp and became the target of the Thunder's ambush. A clear shot of the guns meant that one Hicks light cavalry was planted under the horse.
If it wasn't for Claude that the Hicks were still wary, the offensive camp would cause more casualties for the Thunder Legionnaires. He had already broken the Hicks camp. Since the war has been incorporated into his own control and rhythm, Claude does not mind letting these Hicks survive for a while, waiting for them to squander their morale and then destroy them all the time. It will be much easier, too. Will not pay a lot of casualties.
So after McIke and Blovik led the 331 battalion and the squadron of the fangs to take the captives and return to life, Claude ordered the release of several officers and prisoners, and they were sent to the Hicks in the camp to cut off. The news is to speed up the process of desperate heart of these Hicks, and to see what kind of response these Hicks who are sticking to the camp will do. There is only one dead road to continue to hold on to the camp, but leaving the camp will bring more fighters to the Thunder Army...
Claude did not expect that the Hicks in the camp would decide to evacuate to the Mormaris, and perhaps the towns they occupied gave the Hicks a false sense of security and felt that it was their site. . Or perhaps because of the reason for the availability of sufficient food and supplies in the Mormaly municipality, the third day of the news that the fishing port town was burned to the white land, the Hicks troops all camped and evacuated to Moore. Marley is directly under the jurisdiction.
There are tens of thousands of people, and there is no end to it. The Hicks’s 70,000-80,000 horses in the camp are very large. The remaining five light cavalry regiments, as pioneers of the road, broke through the peripheral ambush line set up by the Thunder Army, regardless of casualties, leaving the body of nearly a thousand people, opening the borders of the Mormaris for the follow-up infantry. aisle. Then the Hicks light cavalry turned off the horse's head, the guards were on the two wings of the evacuation unit, and the light-riding troops of the Thunder Corps who came to the reinforcements launched a desperate fight...
When Claude heard that the Hicks had left the camp and went to the report of Mormari’s direct leadership, he almost stunned his chin. He couldn’t think of the reason why the Hicks did this. Because from the camp outside Lanhu City to the Mormaly governor, it takes seven days to walk, and the Thunder Legion is a light squad. The Hicks are going to use this method to resist the light cavalry in the seven days and seven nights. Wheel attack and attack?
Claude ordered not to stop the direction of the Hicks, but to solve the remaining light cavalry units of the Cavaliers' reserve army, reducing unnecessary trouble for subsequent attacks. Two days ago, the Hicks’ evacuation troops were still relatively disciplined. They used the division as the unit. The foremost division walked a half-day walk to build a simple defensive position on the ground, excavating trenches to build artillery, and guarding the two sides. The light cavalry, which responded to the troops that were subsequently evacuated, became the defenders of the temple.
The same was true the next day. The first division left for a long time and then stopped to build a defensive front. Although this would delay the retreat, it would save most of the evacuation troops. This is also the military of the countries of the Farrea continent. common sense. At the same time, in the ranks of the evacuated infantry units, the vehicles are outside, and the troops are marching in order to guard against raids by the enemy...
Claude observed for two days and quickly set the tactics. First, the first division and the second division of the Thunder Corps were separated, and the Hicks evacuation troops were harassed and attacked in turn. The second is to order the attacking team to use the battalion as a unit. Only attack on the periphery, use the tossile and infantry light field artillery to carry out long-range attacks, and lure the chasing enemy into the ambush circle to destroy the chase. And with the large-scale transfer and long-distance marching capabilities of the light cavalry, a comprehensive attack on the entire Hicks evacuation force...
Less than three days, the Hicks faced a situation in which the entire army collapsed. When the Cavaliers' reserve army was still there, the marching troops were still relatively normal. After all, the Thunder's light cavalry came to attack the harassment and was blocked by Hicks. But as the light cavalry of the Cavaliers' Prey Corps became less and less, and there was only one regiment of troops left, the senior commanders of the Hicks were reluctant to send them to death, and the infantry units that were evacuated were the result. It was attacked day and night, and there was no attack at all times.
Just want to drink some hot soup when eating, the enemy came, a few throwing bombs or a few solid projectiles flew into the crowd queue, taking away the lives of several unlucky ghosts often make the whole queue make a dog jump. Finally, the enemy’s light cavalry evacuated and turned around to see if the hot soup was gone. It’s not that it’s contaminated with blood or mud. If you want to drink, you can’t drink it...
Just closed my eyes at night, where the explosion sounded again, the enemy's night attack troops circled around the position, wanting to sleep well and eat some hot food has become a luxury. Within three days, the Hicks soldiers who were still on the road were swaying and numb, and even when the Light Cavalry of the Thunder Army came again, there were people who were looking forward to being killed by a gun. It was better than this. I can't sleep without a break.
On the sixth day, Claude issued the command of the general attack. The Hicks infantry unit behind the temple had lost the determination to resist. It was so stupid to stand, watching the direction of the Thunder’s light cavalry. The team rushed, even if there was a Hicks soldier who wanted to resist, it was slow to respond, and it was like a stake to kill the enemy. When the Thunder’s light cavalry shouted and did not kill, more Hicks soldiers slammed their guns in their hands and slammed into the ground. For them, the war was finally over. .
Not all Hicks are like this. The Hicks in the Chinese army should be considered the most energetic one. It is a gathering of the senior commanders of the Hicks and elite guards. It is located at the time of evacuation. The center of the force is also the least affected by attacks and harassment. So when the Thunder Army launched the general attack, this part of the Hicks responded the fastest, they discarded all the heavy supplies, collected a large number of Hummers, gathered the remaining light cavalry, and left those infantry behind to block Then, go all out to the Mormaly direct control.
The Thunder's various light cavalry gathered most of the Hicks captives and followed them in the back, but they still couldn't catch up. The Hicks who fled to the municipality of Mormaly, each time they went to a town, gathered their garrison troops and finally retreated into the coastal town of Pobia, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Mormari, and was still the Thunder Army. The light cavalry has caught up. The Hicks had to close their doors in the town of Pobia, when all their troops added up to more than 10,000.
Although the town of Pobia is not the port top of the fishing port town, it is 500 meters away from the sea. It is a beautiful brown beach, from the shallow sea to the deep sea. The battleships of several Neptune fleets in the Hicks Kingdom are in the deep sea. They can see the flag of the Hicks Kingdom flying in the town of Pobia and the fireworks signal for warning, but they can't do anything about it.
The light cavalry battalion that the Thunder Corps first rushed to has been besieging the entire town of Pobia. They are only responsible for monitoring the movement of the Hicks in the town, avoiding the time for these Hicks to go to the beach to build a pontoon. Sending troops to burn the small fishing boats of the town's residents placed on the beach, so that the besieged Hicks lost the opportunity for senior officers to leave the big troops on board and flee...
Although the force is ten times more than the light cavalry battalion of the Thunder Legion outside the town, the Hicks who occupied the town of Bobiya did not have the spirit of fighting in the town. The escape of the road has already cost them too much energy. Most of the senior Hicks officers who entered the town just ate something and found a place to fall asleep. Only a small number of troops were placed to arrange defensive warnings around the town. front.
On the second day, a group of Thunder Corps light cavalry rushed to the town of Bobiya. At this time, the senior Hicks officers who had recovered their energy had already escaped. They stood on the wall of the town and looked at the Hicks on the sea. The kingdom battleship wants to cry without tears, nothing is more desperate than the scene in front of you. The distance of a few hundred meters from the town to the beach has become a scorpio that they escaped from the predicament. The Thunder's light cavalry set up an ambush position here, as long as they think of the beach, they will become their target of shooting...
When General Eblon led the two light-riding field regiments of the second division of the Thunder Corps to the town of Pobia, the besieged Hicks no longer escaped the hope of survival. After two days of negotiations, these After the senior officers and commanders of the Hicks Kingdom received the promise of General Albert to allow their families to come to redeem them back to the country, they simply commanded the troops to lay down their arms and raise the white flag to surrender.
Then, under the watchful eyes of three Hicks kingdom warships at sea, the Hicks kingdom flag over the town of Pobia fell, the flag of the Kingdom of Ovilas and the flag of the overseas territorial war zone suddenly rose...
The resumption of the town of Pobia means that the territorial war zone has annihilated the three standing regiments of the Hicks Kingdom deep inside the theater, smashing the strategy of the Hicks squad. But at the same time, this war has also brought very heavy losses to the territorial war zone. The number of casualties is as high as 30,000, of which nearly 10,000 are residents killed and injured by the Hicks. Property damage is around 20 million kronor. The need to rebuild the city of Lanhu, as well as the fishing port towns, as well as those who were injured by the Hicks and the property losses that were looted, required the war zone to pay for and compensate.
Nearly 200,000 Hicks people landed in the fishing port town. The three standing army groups suffered nearly half of the casualties, but only about 80,000 prisoners. But this is not surprising, because there is a second army of shame, this army of captured veterans is almost completely annihilated. In the battle against Lanhu City, they suffered more than 40,000 casualties. The most determined ones on the way to evacuation are these veterans. They would rather die than be captives...
Claude finally untied the incomprehensible fanatics and asked the senior Hicks officers who surrendered to understand that the Marquis de Cirios, who succeeded the former commander of the front line, came. After the colony of Rodecks Bay, it was not acclimatized. After the plan to land in the fishing port town, it was sent back to the kingdom and it was not known if it could be rescued.
The senior officers of the three standing corps who executed the plan received orders from Majid III to completely destroy the administrative center of the theater and the city of Lanhu, where the theater headquarters was located, to vent the anger of the failure of the previous four colonial wars. . In addition, according to the traditional rules of warfare in the countries of the Warria continent, the capture of the enemy's king means the victory of the war, and the city of Lanhu is quite similar to the kingdom of the direct jurisdiction, so the Hicks died in a heart and blue city. Oh, in the end...
However, this victory does not mean the end of this colonial war. The Neptune Fleet and the Joint Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom are still swimming in the waters of the territorial jurisdiction. The Rhodes Bay Colony also has four standing regiments of the Hicks Kingdom, and Crowder’s Thunder Corps can only stay in the two direct jurisdictions of Mormali and Aphrodite to maintain order and clean up the mess. Next, we will reschedule the armed forces in the coastal areas directly under the jurisdiction to prevent the Hicks from landing again.
When Claude was too busy, it was already at the end of the year, and the ray of 579 years will soon pass, but the arrival of this new night is not very festive. The ruined city of Lanhu shows war. Cruelty and post-war trauma. The eagle sent by General Beechklin said that the Hicks had stopped attacking after receiving news of the three standing corps that had landed in the fishing port town inside the theater. The troops strengthened the defense in the frontier mountains and turned to defend...
