Chapter 315 The Eastern Front was defeated again. On
February 10, 1265, Aedirn sent 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to form a coalition with Queen Meve and went south to fight against the Nilfgaardians.
After the senior officers of the Eastern Army Group were wiped out by Lann, although the Black Army still had a sufficient reserve of mid-level officers, there were no generals with enough prestige to unite the remaining Black Army remnants.
Even though the black-clothed army briefly gathered and organized several resistances with their extremely high tactical literacy, they were only small battlefields with a thousand people level. Facing Aedirn, one of the four major kingdoms in the north, and Queen Miwe who was comparable to Calanthe. With the power of joint resistance, they had no power to resist at all.
This is also one of the disadvantages of the Eastern Army's forced crossing of the Yaruga River. They completely lost contact with the logistics troops. After the momentum of their advance was hit by devastating obstacles, they immediately became a lonely and remnant army that was unable to respond to calls every day.
However, the fact that they were fleeing in various directions in Livia and fighting on their own did make Queen Miwe confused for a while.
Eight days ago, the coalition forces pushed to the Yaruga River and threw the last large group of black-clad troops into the rolling river.
Mi Wei, who was personally conducting the expedition, wiped her dusty forehead. Her current wretched appearance could hardly reveal the charm of the queen who was famous for her beauty in the North.
But her spirit was quite high: "This is the last strength of the 'Black Infantry Regiment'. After that, there will only be a dozen or dozens of defeated troops wandering in the countryside. It depends on the police officers of each city." "
I must remind you, Miwei." King Demavi of Aedirn said leisurely from the side: "These defeated armies are much more troublesome than ordinary bandits and robbers, and they will take up a lot of your energy."
" But now we must put the elimination of the Nilfgaardians first, such as the two cavalry regiments on Soden." Demavi gritted his back teeth, "The secret message passed by Lannister some time ago Have you read the letter? I have to admit that his plan is very feasible."
Queen Meve, who relaxed, couldn't help laughing: "You seem to be better than me and Lannis in fighting the Nilfgaardians now. He must be even more active."
Demavi turned his head: "Most of what Lannister said during the Northern Conference was pertinent. Although that brat is too young, he still has abilities." "
Karan Ser does have a good way of training her children." Demavi lowered her head, "Unfortunately...she herself fell at the very beginning. And Lannister became a demon hunter again." Queen Meve was silent for a moment: "
Lan En's choice is worthy of admiration, isn't it? And don't think that I don't know..."
The queen knocked the horse's belly, leaving King Aedirn with a back view: "You, Vizmir, Foltest, Henselt , are you happy to see Lann's choice?"
Demavi asked with a cold face: "What about you, Miwe?"
The queen did not answer the words of King Aedirn, but just ordered her soldiers to start to garrison. The Nilfgaardians captured the camp and rebuilt the defenses on the banks of the Yaruga.
Miwe thought that after the situation in Livia was completely stabilized, Cintra would be able to recover with Lan's efforts. They were then able to unite and annihilate the two cavalry regiments in Upper Soden, driving Nilfgaard completely out of the north.
If possible, Miwe also wants to invite the remaining two of the four northern countries to participate - she has no hope in Henselt's support, as long as the other side's Kaedwen does not cause trouble.
In the past, she and Lan were still considered minors together, but now that Demavi, who is also one of the leaders of the four powers, can speak out for Foltest and Vizmir, it may be possible to reverse the relationship between these two kings. Attitude, let them increase their support.
It's a pity that Queen Miwe, Demavi III, and Lann all made a mistake at this moment.
Although the ongoing battles gave them a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of Nilfgaard's Black Army soldiers, they knew little about Emperor Emhyr who fought from the south to the north.
So when the ground shook slightly and the Black Sun flag began to flutter from the distance, both Queen Meve and Demavi III's eyes widened.
That was not only the threat of the black sun flag, but also a flag with a white scorpion on a black background and a white skull on a black background.
Only troops with outstanding military exploits can have their own independent numbers and flags.
The two rulers who were proficient in military affairs were able to recognize the troops represented by the two flags, which were the 7th Dellani Cavalry Brigade and the Nausicaa Division belonging to the 4th Nilfgaardian Cavalry Legion.
The hoofs of the horses are beating, and the cavalry is pressing down on the enemy like a black tide.
The Aedirnians only felt that everything was like yesterday when Ad Fein's division attacked, except that this time the enemy was more powerful, and they did not have the Lion of Cintra.
The swords were added together, the flames ignited, and the black eagle flag, red diamond flag, and tricolor rose flag were covered by the black sun flag, crushed by the horses' hooves, and trampled into the soil.
On February 12, the Nilfgaardian cavalry troops occupied the Anglin Forest area in northern Livia and captured the two fortresses of Skara and Spala.
On February 15, all of Livia fell, one-third of Leiria was surrounded and occupied, and Queen Meve retreated north. At the same time, Major General Marcus Brebant, the commander of the Nausicaa Division, began to gather the remaining troops in Livia.
On the same day, Kaedwen, one of the four major kingdoms in the north, suddenly launched an attack. King Henselt led a light cavalry unit called the Brown Banner Battalion across the Pontar River and took the opportunity to go south to invade Aedirn.
On February 16, the King of Aedirn was furious after receiving the news. He sent 3,000 light cavalry back to support northern Aedirn, and at the same time commanded the central army in Vengerberg to go north to fight against Kaedwen. The Aedirn troops in the southern coalition were greatly strengthened. weaken.
On February 19, Queen Meve regrouped and joined forces with Demavi to fight the Nilfgaardians at Edsberg in Aedirn. The Usyca Division, the 7th Dellani Cavalry Brigade, and the Black Infantry Regiment totaled 17,000 men and easily defeated the Northern Allied Forces.
On the same day, Henselt led the Brown Banner Battalion across the Diverney River in Aden and captured the town of Guleta in Aden.
...
"TMD Henselt! There is no one who can't give birth to a son! What kind of trouble is he jumping out at this time!"
Lann broke through the defense.
He slammed the table hard, and with such force, the poor wooden board broke completely from the middle with a "squeak" sound.
The situation in the eastern theater of war took a turn for the worse. The black army made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations. But at this time, Henselt took advantage of the trouble in neighboring Aden to stab him hard.
This was a choice that stunned everyone.
At the same time, everyone was certain: Henselt had definitely not reached any secret agreement with Nilfgaard. This was purely the whim of that guy with an abnormal mind.
This is what makes people particularly angry, but they can't punch out even if they use too much force on their fists.
Both Mossak and Lan angrily cursed: "This stupid pig deserves plague and cholera!"
But there was a more serious problem at the moment.
Radcliffe received instructions in Brochlon Town and teleported directly to Otaga Fortress to find Rann for help. At this moment, like a bereaved dog, he shouted miserably towards Lan: "Duke Lannister, please send reinforcements quickly."
"It really doesn't work, it really doesn't work... Just go there in person and re-enact the same force you used against the Eastern Group Army in Livia..."
Mossack and Visekid frowned at the same time as they looked at Aden's Advisor, then looked at Lan together.
Shirley grabbed Lan's collar nervously.
Lan took a deep breath to calm down, and said comfortingly to Advisor Aden: "Don't worry, Lord Radcliffe, Cintra is absolutely unwilling to lose these two staunch allies of Aden and Queen Miwe."
" But as you can see, we have just concluded a major battle. This battle allowed Cintra to engage in subsequent plans without worries, but it also gave us a little time to rest." "I must discuss with
my generals first, After laying out the future combat strategy,
we can make a decision." Lann promised: "I will make a decision tomorrow at the latest. Don't worry, there will be support - at least I will be there."
Ryder . Cliff let out a sigh of relief and took a break under the guidance of the attendant.
Turning his head, Lan had a serious expression and asked the old Druid on the side: "Uncle Mossak, I would like to trouble you, Mr. Fetov, Yennefer and Triss to summon everyone together. ."
"We need an emergency meeting."
...
For the purpose of mobility, the generals of each important unit have magic props on their bodies as positioning. With the help of the portal, everyone quickly gathered in front of Lann.
After learning about the situation in the eastern theater, everyone's expressions were exactly the same as Lann's, and the performance of several explosive defenses was exactly the same as Lann's before.
"Are the Nilfgaardians so strong?" Captain Adam of the Free Legion looked confused. He had been fighting with the wind since he joined Cintra. "Or... the king and queen in the east are too incompetent in fighting. ?"
"They don't have dragons or Rann. Nilfgaard's true strength can be seen from the gap between the enemy's and our equipment." East glanced at Captain Adam in a cold voice, "I thought you should Have a more practical understanding of the enemy."
Captain Adam, who had just arrived, immediately stopped speaking. He knew that this man was the King of Skellige and the former King of Cintra. Even the first Duke of Lannister respected him.
East quickly turned to Lan and suggested: "Lan, Demavi and Miwe are the ones we must save."
Lan took a deep breath: "I know."
He looked at the sand table in front of him. Map: "The Nilfgaardians are best at supporting war with war. After the Central Army captured Livia, they no longer had to worry about logistics. The role of the Western Army in blocking their retreat was wiped out in an instant. More than half of it. What's more, Aedirn is still a big agricultural country. If their cavalry continues to march north to capture Aedirn, they won't even need Nilfgaard to transport food all the way here, but can feed back to the south." "At the same time
, If they completely occupy the banks of the Yaruga River, they will be able to free up their hands to trim the bridge and obtain a new, safer passage to the north. At that time, Sintra will completely lose its role as the 'Gateway to the North', and its strategic position will be greatly improved. Descending. We may also be attacked from both directions from the south and east at the same time, and the surrounding environment will suddenly become dangerous."
Lann rubbed his head with a headache: "So I have to go to the eastern front for rescue."
From Ma Colonel Barclay of Hakan wondered: "Why is such an important strategic road not heavily guarded? Why is it always defeated by the Nilfgaardians?" Mossack sneered: "
Because the real Powerful countries don't want to take over these troublesome places, they like to stay in the rear and enjoy a decadent life."
Colonel Barclay shook his head and muttered a few words.
But now was obviously not the time to express emotion. East turned to Lan and continued to ask: "What are you going to do?"
Lan stared at the sand table for a moment: "The Nilfgaardian army is strictly disciplined, and their Mennonite marshal cannot do anything without authorization. Leave the central front and march eastward, so this must be Emperor Emhyr's order." "
But the good news is that their surprise attack caught us off guard, but our lightning defeat of the Western Army was also beyond their expectations. The battle report has not yet been received by them. , the Nilfgaardians spreading their forces like this may be an opportunity for us to advance the decisive battle."
After a few thoughts collided in his mind, Lann had an idea in his mind.
"He knew what I had done to the Eastern Army but still had the confidence to make such an arrangement. Emhyr must have taken corresponding measures to prevent me from copying the 'kill the general and capture the flag' tactic, and even had a plan specifically for me. ."
"The nature of the cavalry unit and the black infantry regiment are also different. It is difficult to achieve the effect of defeating them in the previous battle." "
But they don't fully understand my 'Ancient Blood'. I still have a lot of potential. "For the sake of safety, I will bring two giant dragons with me this time when heading east." "
If necessary, your ice giant and other [Lions] members will also be included." Mo Ssak added, "There are also berserkers like those trolls, night demons, and Bill. You should also be able to summon us druids or demon hunters over there." "I will."
Lann nod. With the remaining crooked melons and dates in the eastern theater, it is necessary to let these high-level combat units participate in the battle if we want to stabilize the situation.
"The liquidation of the defeated army will continue, but there cannot be too many manpower." Lann continued to deploy, "So we can only continue with the forest guerrillas led by Reso. And Sintra's own troops and the Free Corps are maintained by the maintenance team. Marshal Sekid is leading the march to the eastern border and is ready to support me at any time."
The guerrillas led by the demon hunters faced the small Nilfgaardian army with ease, leaving Lan En to rest assured.
The marshal also solemnly promised: "Don't worry Lan, we have finally achieved today's results and reached this point... I will never allow the Nilfgaardians to destroy everything again." Lan nodded slightly to the marshal
. , then turned to East.
"Uncle East, you are still leading the fleet on the Yaruga River. You have strong mobility. If the eastern front needs military support, the maritime force will be my only hope."
East patted Lan on the shoulder . : "Be careful, I will always pay attention to you."
"Colonel Barclay, the Mahakam Volunteer Army does not need to continue to Sintra. You will be stationed directly in Lower Soden. You may be needed soon."
Finally. Lann looked at Ciri: "There will be another war in the future. Ciri, you still have to go back to Blochlon Town. You are the most important. And I have an ominous premonition... Nilfgaard also has a group of warlocks after all. Yes, I'm worried that they will imitate me and carry out rear raids. But now that the battle lines have been spread out, Brochlon Town's city defense strength has dropped too much." "
I will continue to keep Alice in the town to protect you, no matter what happens They won't [teleport] her away." Lann turned to Cohen and said, "Please lead the urban guerrillas to station in Blochlon to protect Ciri." The
Griffin School full of knightly aura The colleague nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me."
