Chapter 514 The Battle of Polynesia (2)
Marshal Pillag Hieliot sits on his beloved mount. A tall, muscular body with white body and no bristles on top of it, watching a march on the road that is beyond sight. Team, sighed silently. Somehow, he always felt a little uneasy and restless. However, the officers and men passing by on the road saw their supreme commander standing in the hill on the side of the road, and cheers broke out ...
"Long live Grandpa!" ...
This is probably the leader who applied from his territory, and only they will call it that.
"Long live the Alliance!" "Long live the Marshal!" "Long live Hicks ..."
The rest was some messy cheers.
As the newly-appointed Supreme Army Commander, if not for a while ago, the Hussars who commanded the Principality of Kanas fought a beautiful ambush, eliminating the threat of repeated night attacks by the enemy at night. Maybe Marshal Pillag Hieliot will not erect his majesty and prestige in the Alliance army, nor will Prince Daklind of the Nasri Kingdom obey the command to defend the enemy the next day. The position launched a crazy attack.
I have to admit that Her Majesty's choice was very suitable, making Prince Daklind the heir to the Kingdom of Nasserri, not the timid coward Prince Vedario. Because the Prince Vedario has been advocating the enemy ’s mighty and terrible fighting power in the barracks, how many times he has fought himself against the enemy, indicating that the reason why he defeated the battle was not his fault, but the enemy was Too strong to resist ...
Although McKid III gave the determined power to himself, after contacting the two princes, he still chose His Majesty Prince Daklind, who sent Prince Vedario back to the kingdom, saying that he was Nasri. The special envoy of the kingdom is actually a hostage. At least Prince Daklind was willing to obey his orders and fight hard against the enemy, but Prince Vedario wanted to hide behind him and enjoy it, not to contribute.
However, Prince Ducklind is also a black-hearted guy, and he has to guard against what he has done in the past. Let him command the army of the Kingdom of Nasser to attack the enemy, so that he can understand the combat power of some of the old opponents of the Kingdom of Hicks, the Thunder Army of the Overseas Dominion of the Kingdom of Ovilas.
As a result, the two offensives launched by the Nasri Kingdom's army against the Thunder Legion's defensive front consumed the strength of the three legions that had taken refuge in Prince Vedario. Now the remaining hundreds of thousands of horses in the Nasser Kingdom are mostly the ties of Prince Daklind, and there are very few left in Prince Vedario ...
Marshal Pillag Hieliot didn't want to care about the destruction of the Nasri Kingdom. He knew all the intriguing things the two Princes of the Nasri Kingdom had done in private to fight for the position. Although the two princes deliberately resignedly rescued the captured father ’s father Nasser VII and their loved ones, he was very disdainful, but His Majesty made it clear in the letter he wrote to him that this came to the Hicks kingdom Said to be the best opportunity.
The first Supreme Commander of the Alliance Army, Admiral Norberton Pon Belundi, Earl of the Kingdom, was a very unlucky old guy. He was once commissioned by McKid III to the Roddess Bay colony in the Fox Islands of the United Kingdom on the mainland of Nubia, commanding the Kingdom's Expeditionary Force to launch an offensive against an overseas dominion, and was unfortunately defeated. As a result, he was recalled and abandoned by McKid III, and the old man was too old to use it.
However, the second was sent to take over the command of the expeditionary army. The commander of the front line was the kingdom's most famous attacking general, the confidant of Makid III, Marquis Clarion de Cirios. He was also a general of the Kingdom Army, but he also failed. Even when Lanhu City, the capital of the overseas dominion that landed in the fishing village at the start of the war, was very stunning, it was still dissolved by the autonomous region, and the three landing corps were annihilated.
Then the Marquis of Clariono de Cirios was returned to the kingdom for a short time due to serious illness. Before the kingdom can send another candidate for succession, there has been bad news that all expeditionary corps have been wiped out by the two corps of the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Zone, and even the leased Rodex Bay colony has been occupied. This means that the Hicks Kingdom was completely defeated in this colonial war. McKid III lost his face and even took the Hicks Kingdom's national strength and military power to other countries.
But Marshal Pillag Hieliotte knew very well that he was the winner regardless of whether the colonial war was a victory or defeat, and he was a bystander. Since he had never been involved in the battle between His Majesty and the Kingdom Nobles, he understood the purpose of His Majesty and the Kingdom of Ovilas to provoke this colonial war. If you win, your Majesty can transfer the nobles of the kingdom to the colonies. If you lose, you will lose all the power and family of the nobles of the kingdom.
Which territory in the kingdom does the aristocracy dare to stab with His Majesty? Not to mention the little lord rebellion in previous years, and after the defeat of this colonial war, did His Majesty reduce and confiscate the family territories of several nobles by virtue of this failure? Today, most of the kingdom's territory is under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. No one can unite against His Majesty's policy as before. His Majesty has truly achieved his promises, and he has everything to do with the Kingdom.
Of course, the defeat of the colonial war did make Her Majesty a bit embarrassed, which is why the old man, Count Norberton Pon Berundi, was reactivated by His Majesty. The old man presented to His Majesty a plan to take over the new occupation of the Kingdom of Ovilas and join the rest of the eastern region to attack the Kingdom of Ovilas. The reason is to help the Grand Duke Seedings and the Grand Duke Rimodera, because both of them went to the Kingdom of Hicks.
Then it was McKid III who took the old man's advice and commissioned him as chief commander. The result was very smooth. Everything was as planned. The Kingdom of Hicks had an enclave in the eastern part of the mainland. The Grand Duke of Hidings and the Grand Duke of Rimodera were restored. The Kingdom of Hicks was in the surrounding areas and neighboring countries. Prestige was restored, and no other king dared to joke.
If you see this, you will have everything in your hands, but your Majesty will work with the four countries in the eastern region to create an alliance of Eastern Region States and point the finger at the Kingdom of Ovilas. The Nasri Kingdom was also unwilling to be the younger brother of the Hicks Kingdom. He was in a league of his own. He did not follow His Majesty's instructions very much, and then the debt war broke out with the Kingdom of Ovilas.
If you sit and watch the Nasri Kingdom and the Ovilas Kingdom fight for your life, but your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to teach the Ovilas Kingdom again, and toss out an Alliance army and take the opportunity to attack Ovi Kingdom of Russ. At the beginning of the war, it was smooth sailing, although there were some casualties, but the impact was not great. The kingdom of Ovilas was defeated and even the famous king was lost.
So Her Majesty rushed to the Capital City and held a grand military parade, humiliating the Kingdom of Ovilas. At the same time, His Majesty also delivered a speech, determined to take this opportunity to perish the kingdom of Ovilas in order to revenge on the defeat of the colonial war. Then, the Kingdom of Ovilas transferred the two Legions of the Overseas Dominion back to the Kingdom.
Next, the Alliance Army was defeated by the Rock Corps of the Overseas Dominion in Ambrize County, losing almost half of its troops. The Thunder Corps landed again at the Floric Harbour in the Principality of Rimodera, regaining the new occupation, annihilating the Principality of Rimodera and the Principality of Seedings, and even the enclave of the Hicks Kingdom. Immediately after that, the Thunder Corps unexpectedly attacked the royal city of Borisia, which occupied the kingdom of Nasiri, and the situation of the war turned sharply ...
At that time, the old commander and chief commander of the Alliance Army, Lord Eber Norton Pon Belundi, who was in the territory of the Kingdom of Ovilas, was afraid that the old man would be cut off. Withdrawal from the Kingdom of Sri Lanka and return to Nasiri Kingdom. The result angered His Majesty, was directly deprived of all his powers, and was ordered to return to the country to reflect. Then His Majesty deliberately returned from his former home territory to take over the post of the Supreme Commander of the Alliance.
Marshal Pillag Hieliot is a legend in the Hicks Kingdom. He took over as Grand Duke when he was less than 20 years old. Because the family territory was in the border area north of the Kingdom of Hicks, he was often faced with invasions and looting by several barbarian nations in the northern plateau. His father was fighting and killing barbarians in the territory.
After becoming the Grand Duke, the young Duke Pillag S. Feriotte began to run the family territory with painstaking efforts and hollowed out his family to form a 6,000-person family musketeer team. A year later, he Led this family of musketeers across several barbarian nations in the northern highlands. Under his command, the two barbarian nations closest to him were perished, and the rest of the barbarian nations were killed by him. They had no choice but to send an apology and make peace, guaranteeing that as long as he was alive, he would never dare to send troops to invade him. Family territory.
It ’s a great deal of credit to open up the country for the country, and to promote the country ’s prestige. In addition, it is also the Duke ’s position, and still counts as the nephew of McKid III, so even the Duke of Pillag. Young, still being conferred as Marshal of the Hicks Kingdom. Of course, this marshal is just a name, enjoying an annuity and honor, and has not officially assumed a certain military position in the kingdom army, otherwise McKid III will not sleep well at night.
Fortunately, Duke Pillag Hieliot has a human duty. After reporting his father's revenge, he mostly retired in the family territory, rarely went out, and did not mingle with the other nobles in the Hicks Kingdom to McKid Miscellaneous find trouble. Even before the territory aristocracy rebellion, someone found the duke, hoping that he could stand on the side of the territory nobleman, the duke only returned him a word, his family armed will not participate in the civil war, this sentence also told Maki German III.
Like this time, when McKid III came out, he specially invited him to be the supreme commander of the Alliance Army. In addition to family relationships, mainly Duke Pillag H. Ferriot was more curious and wanted to see how the Hicks Kingdom had been eliminated. The Colonial War Expeditionary Force has nearly two standing regiments of two overseas regiments of the Standing Army. When he first saw the new rifles and new artillery he had seized, he found that he was not facing the traditional army of the nations of the Faroe continent, but a stranger, completely different from the strong army in his impression. Armed forces.
However, in a way, Duke Pillag H. Feriot also discovered the deficiencies of the Thunder, proud, and relatively unfamiliar in the offensive and defensive position. Without the addition of new weapons, this would actually be a horse infantry, and its combat power is more powerful. Therefore, he arranged the light cavalry of the Principality of Kanas to ambush the night raid of the Thunder Corps. Without the advantage of long-range shooting, the Kanas light cavalry could compete with them and suffered a big loss.
But the most terrible part of the Thunder Corps lies in its ability to learn and reflect. For the first time, the offensive launched by the five Legions of the Kingdom of Nasiri made use of the strength of the army to make them lose sight of each other and deal with the situation. However, when the attack was launched for the second time, it was found that the enemy's defensive position had obviously improved the deficiencies. The same attack method had completely different results.
The offensive of the Nasri Kingdom army suffered greater and more serious casualties, and the defensive Thunder Corps responded in an orderly and busy manner. Even if there were casualties, the garrison soldiers would not be as **** as the first time to fight the position. When faced with provocation, he jumped out of the trenches and engaged in a bayonet hand-to-hand battle with the attacking Nasseri soldiers. Instead, he calmly and calmly fired with the new rifle ...
If possible, Duke Pillag H. Ferriot hoped that the five standing regiments of Hicks Kingdom would retire and return to the kingdom. From the Thunder Corps he has seen the urgency of military change. You are welcome to say that he is now fighting the life of Hicks soldiers against the Thunder Corps who have mastered the new tactics. He does not think that he can defeat the enemy with his superior strength. Even if he can defeat the enemy, the cost of casualties will be paid. It's too big.
But McKid III wrote to him, demanding that he must help the kingdom of Nasseri to expel the forces of the Kingdom of Ovilas, and ensure the independence and existence of the two eastern regions, the kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Kanas. , The Kingdom of Ovilas must not be allowed to unify the eastern part of the Faroe continent, even if it suffered heavy casualties. Quite simply, as long as these two countries exist, the Hicks Kingdom can intervene in the affairs of the eastern region and even have the opportunity to counter the Ovilas Kingdom.
As long as the Alliance army under the leadership of Duke Pillag Hieliot can recapture the royal city of Boricia and support Prince Daklind, then the kingdom of Nasri must rely on the assistance of the Kingdom of Hicks to support it. Going on, this is equivalent to an additional tributary in the Hicks Kingdom. In order to achieve this goal, the Hicks Kingdom sat idly watching the two Prince Nasser lay down their soldiers and watched the Thunder Legion move the captives away. In fact, then was the best time to regain the king ’s city. ...
Now the Kingdom of Ovilas is also insisting that it relies on two legions of overseas dominions. If Duke Pilag H. Feriot leads the Alliance to take advantage of the strength of the army and force it to withdraw, it will be even greater. The cost of war damage is also tolerable. The next step was to negotiate a truce with the Kingdom of Ovilas. After a few years, the kingdom copied the new rifles and new artillery and re-equipped the army. Then the day of revenge against the Kingdom of Ovilas came.
Although the letter written by McKid III did not interfere with the command of Duke Pillag H. Ferriot to the Alliance army, the meaning was very clear, that is, it must recapture the kingdom of Polyvasia in Nasiri and support Dak. Prince Linde ascended the throne, making him a complete refuge in Hicks Kingdom. Duke Pilar Hieliot, even reluctantly, could not disobey his Majesty's will, and could only act as directed, directing the Alliance's army to approach the royal city of Polydivia.
A few horses rushed towards the mound, and the guards under the mound were about to stop. At first glance, people hurried to salute, and the riders ignored the soldiers and immediately rushed to the mound.
"Master Duke is in good spirits, do you want to go high?" The head's voice was loud.
Duke Pillag Hieliotte laughed absurdly, and came from Marquis Archyberg Wyckalks, principality of the Principality of Kanas. The spirit is elated and proud.
"The Lord's Bronte mount is really awesome!" Marquis Archieberger W. Chalcs watched Duke Pilag H. Feriot sit down and drool: " The northern steed is nobler than our Kanas steppe horses. It is tall, has long legs, is resistant to snow and wind, sprints quickly, and is so big ... "
"Okay, don't say anything, I can't give you this Bai Hong, there are three North Horses on my side, you can choose one to take away, if you can't wait to finish the battle, I will return Northland will find you a few more good ones. "Duke Pillag H. Ferriot knew the meaning of Marquis Archer Wilhelm Chalces, and quickly stopped his praise.
"In fact, the warhorse that is really suitable for cavalry is your prairie warrior from Kanners." Duke Pillag H. Feriotte shook his head: "Northern horses are too delicate, they are easy to get sick, they need to be fine, and they have long distance The march lacks endurance, unlike your prairie warhorse. Although it is a little short, it has strong adaptability and endurance. Especially at night, as long as there is moonlight, it can still march and is the best option for large-scale light cavalry. .
The North Horse didn't work. At night, it became blind, and was irritable and sensitive. He was unwilling to move, and was particularly afraid of darkness. Therefore, the stables must be bright, or it will be so noisy that you can't sleep, like a seven- or eight-year-old child, even a mouse running for a long time. Okay, let ’s not talk about horses. Did you come here to hear anything? "
"Yes, Lord Duke." Marquis Archibald Wilhelm Chalcox nodded: "Our scouts report that the Thunder Corps's dead horses have also all been withdrawn to the city of Prince Polynesia and contacted Nasser. The secret agent said that the enemies in the King City did not intend to leave, and it seemed that they wanted to keep the King city dead. Now the troops in the King City are still a division of the Rock and two divisions of the Thunder. The agents of Nasser watched the Thunder Army enter the city At that time, nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers were carried ... "
Duke Pillag Hieliotte remained silent for a while, and said solemnly, "It seems that the enemy wants to fight us in the King City, and we have to fight this battle ..."
On November 7th of the 6th year of the Holy Light Calendar, the Union Army soldiers came under the royal city of Polynesia, and the war broke out.
