Otherworldly Castle Era

The military strength of the two sides who met was roughly equal, both were about 200,000. It must be said that the military strength of Xia State was even greater than that of Anyuan State.

The first battle between the two sides was the former part of the two armies. On Xia Guo's side was a cavalry regiment of the cavalry division. At that time, the cavalry regiment was conducting reconnaissance and searching for the enemy.

On the side of Anyuanguo, there was a side army of ten thousand people. When they met, they were preparing to capture the next town.

A cavalry regiment had 7,800 people, and it met an 10,000-person team from An Yuanguo in the wild. As a result, the enemy was defeated by several impacts from the cavalry regiment and could only escape for their lives.

After the knight commander Angela Brashaw of An Yuanguo learned that his army had been defeated, he immediately assembled a 100,000 army and killed him towards Xia Guo.

When Li Jing learned that the enemy army had come to attack, he immediately ordered the first division and cavalry division to respond, while the second division attacked from another direction, preparing to copy the enemy's back.

Nearly 200,000 armies of the two sides had the first large-scale battle in the northern part of the war-torn land.

As a result, before Xia's second division arrived, An Yuan's 100,000 army was defeated by Xia's first division and the cavalry division.

After two defeats, An Yuanguo's 200,000 troops left only a little more than half. Seeing that the remaining troops were not equal to Xia's army, the Knight Commander Angela immediately led his army back to the mountains on the edge of the plateau. .

After seeing the enemy repelled, Li Jing felt a little relieved, and then merged with the Imperial Guards and City Guards from the east.

The confluence of the two armies of the Xia Army means that this land has been occupied by Xia Guo more than half.

The combined army of the Xia State has the first and second divisions, cavalry divisions, part of the Imperial Guard and most of the city guards. There are 200,000 in total. Including more than 100,000 servants, the Xia army has a total of more than 30. Million.

Such a huge force appeared to the east of Anyuan Country, and in addition to just losing a game, Alex Elmer added 200,000 troops without saying a word-this is already what Anyuan Country can do. Take out the limit.

An Yuanguo had a total of 500,000 troops after a period of rest and recuperation, but there were still some restless forces in the country, so it was necessary to retain some of its troops to suppress the country.

These forces in this world can have such a huge force, most of them as long as they are mainly conscripts, these soldiers are usually civilians, and they will be called into soldiers when they fight.

Unlike Xia Guo, all of them are professional soldiers except the servants. For the forces of this world, the standing elite army of hundreds of thousands can hardly even think about it.

The backward productivity makes it unable to support so many full-time personnel, so Anyuan country dominates one side, and it can also have an elite army of 100,000.

After this increase in troops, An Yuanguo sent more than 300,000 troops under the plateau, which was not much different from Xia's army, but it was a huge difference in quality.

Among the more than 300,000 troops of An Yuanguo, only 60,000 to 70,000 are elite, and there is not much suspense about the result of the encounter between the two.

Just as Liu Ji and Li Jing said during their discussions, Xia's army here has no other advantages except for the unexpected advantage of the army itself.

Most of this place is mountainous, Xia Guo’s huge cavalry will not be of much use, and the artillery is also difficult to transport, which makes the Xia ** team's travel speed very slow.

This place is far away from the mainland of Xia, and the long logistics supply line is supported by Xia’s strong national strength. If it weren’t for Xia’s population of 20 to 30 million and the productivity that is gradually entering the steam age, it is nearly a thousand kilometers long. Expedition is also impossible.

For Anyuan, or most of the forces in the world, logistics is robbing, and only enough of the remaining part is transported from the rear.

An Yuanguo seems to have an army of more than 300,000, but most of them are logistics personnel, but these logistics personnel also have to go to the battlefield to fight.

...

Xia Guo and An Yuan Guo fought a battle on this piece of land that was not their own country, and it was staged one after another on hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the northern part of the war-torn land.

The battle of hundreds of thousands of people can be on different plains within the mountainous area. Soldiers cannot fight in groups and can only be scattered. It requires multiple fronts, multiple battlefields, and multiple battles.

Basically, there are battles on every mountain, and there are corpses next to every river. The continuous battles take into account the hard power of the army.

Before long, An Yuanguo, who occupied the right time and place, was still defeated by the Xia ** team, but the Xia ** team's servant army was basically lost, and its establishment could be revoked.

Even Xia’s own army suffered a lot of damage, mainly in the mountains, where the power of platoon guns was not as high as that of flat ground. With the obstacles of mountains, rocks and trees, damage was inevitable.

As for the artillery, it played a small role in the entire battle, mainly because it was difficult to transport. Basically, when the artillery was transported to the battlefield, the battle was about to end, and its complex terrain also made it difficult for the artillery to exert its power.

At the end of the battle, An Yuanguo saw that he was invincible, and he even united with the local lords to fight against Xiaguo—this is the role of Renhe.

When the army was about to run out, it was forced to conscript. Regardless of the young and old, as long as they could afford weapons, they were all sent to the battlefield-this is the last place these lords can escape, and there is no way out.

Cruel wars of attrition are constantly being staged in this vast mountain area. An Yuanguo and the lords know that Xia has come here from afar, and it will definitely not last long. In addition, the survival is here. There is definitely no one who can. Hold on for so long.

In fact, the same is true. Even if Xia Guo has strong logistical support, but its long distance makes many changes, no one is sure that the logistics can be delivered in the next moment, so it is best to make a quick decision.

In the battle, the performance of the Xia Guocheng Guards was quite eye-catching, and its army's adaptability in the mountains was eye-catching. Even many other armies tactically learned from the battle methods of the City Guards.

The reason why the city guards have such dazzling combat power is mainly because the city guards have been active in the mountains in Xia before.

Suppressing remote and remnant enemies, clearing the indigenous people in the deep mountains, and patrolling the borders are all things that cannot be separated from the mountains.

For example, when fighting in a mountainous area, the city guards pay attention to the cooperation of the squad and platoon; they are not very dependent on artillery during the battle; they have experience in finding water sources and materials available in the mountains; they have judged the direction of the mountain...

Compared with the conspicuous record of the city guards, the performance of the Imperial Guards, which has always been commensurate with the elite of the elite, is the other extreme.

Slow entry into the battle~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Delay in chasing the enemy, difficulty in advancing... Its own many artillery, two cavalry regiments seriously dragged down the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

So in the end, Li Jing could only let the Imperial Guard and the cavalry division act as a reserve army.

Fortunately, in the end, Xia's army defeated the enemy and completely occupied this land.

Although An Yuanguo increased its troops and united with local forces, it was ultimately lost to Xia Kingdom, and even abandoned the rest of the lords in order to retreat to the plateau.

An Yuanguo was on the plateau. For Xiaguo, its geographical environment was even more unfamiliar. Not to mention the pursuit. In the end, it was hard to judge how the enemy evacuated.

At this point, Xia's army completed all the established combat missions and completely occupied all the land south and east of the boundary river.

After this battle, An Yuanguo has been traumatized, and there is no such thing as a recovery in the past ten years.

From then on, Xia Guo can proceed to the next step-completely eradicate all the natives in the occupied area!
