Proof of the Sun King
Vol 4 Chapter 1146: , a race against time
PS: It's a little late today, don't worry about it.
Old World, in October 2521 of the imperial calendar, the Breton army led by Marshal Callard and Rokossovsky arrived in Erengrad.
In order to ensure the strength of this army and take into account the environment of Kislev, Ryan ordered that his female courtier, one of the heads of MI7, the sanctuary sorceress Teresa, led a whole group of ice witches (50 people) came to assist Callard and his army.
In Erengrad, Karad and Rokossovsky, Teresa, Beria and others were entertained by the Archduke Vladimir Vladimirovich of Erengrad, and learned from the Archduke , Marshal Lawn of the Northern Legion has led as many troops as possible to Prager to defend.
"How many troops are there in Erlengrad?" Callard frowned upon seeing this. He and Rokossovsky looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
"There are only 5,000 defenders here in Erlengrad, and His Excellency Duke Laun has taken almost every sword in the entire city." Grand Duke Vladimir of Erengrad replied: "At present, the northern Grove The De Forest is still under our control, and the Sentinels report that the forces of Chaos are still at war with the Greenskins in the troll realm."
"Got it." Callard continued, "How many enemies are there?"
Soon, Kharad learned the size of the Chaos army.
The Chaos army that laid siege to Prager consisted of roughly the following legions:
Willich - The Cursed Legion of the Cursed World, about 35,000 people.
The troll army of the troll king Solong, about 28,000 people.
Norsca Legion of Sulsa-Lenk, about 15,000 men.
The Kurgan regiment of Erflik-Kinewów, about 14,000 men.
The Beastman Auxiliary was about 10,000-20,000 men (no exact number).
As well as the Khorne champion who just crossed the mountain pass, the undefeated army led by the undefeated Abar is about 24,000 people.
At present, the combat power of the Coalition of Order is only as follows:
Marshal Lauen's Army of the North of Brittany, about 12,000 men.
Kislev's local army, about 15,000 people.
Callard and Rokossovsky led the Brittany Continental Army of about 20,000 people (including a company and fifteen Holy Grail Knights that Lane personally sent to Callard's old guard).
The army of the Imperial Osterland and Ostermark was about 8,000 men.
And about 4,000 mercenaries and self-defense troops from all over the old world, including the southern kingdom, who set out on their own and brought their own dry food.
That is to say, the total size of the Chaos Army is more than 120,000 people, and no matter how Karad is full, less than 60,000 people can participate in this war.
At the same time, Callard is also well aware that, in addition to the elite Brittanian Continental Army led by him, some parts of the Coalition of Order are as reliable as the Brittanian Continental Army, such as Lawn's Northern Army, such as the two northern provinces of the Empire. , and the field army of Erlengrad.
However, the combat effectiveness of some armed forces is questionable, such as the mercenaries of the southern kingdom and the soldiers temporarily recruited from the local army of Kislev. These soldiers are either inexperienced, or are not well prepared for the upcoming battle, or are unwilling to do so. To fight the war, I just want to flee south.
And worse, the weather.
The weather is not as icy and snowy as Kislev expected on weekdays. On the contrary, it is already October. The whole Kislev is still in a temperature above zero and a very dry climate. The autumn sun is shrouded in Kislev. There was no sign of snow or cooling in Slov's land at all.
This allows the Chaos army to march with impunity, while Kislev loses her most reliant midwinter barrier.
Callard did not dare to neglect after arriving with a large army? Immediately marched along the Linsk River towards Plager.
Along the way? Bad news came one after another, and intelligence showed that troops were constantly crossing the mountain passes? At the same time, the new Chaos Eternal God Chosen, Archaon, seems to have gathered an army of more than half a million people? But strange What's more, Archaon ordered the army to stay in the Chaos Wastes? Just ignoring some of the unbearable Horde Chieftains or Chaos Champions to go south first? And he sat firmly on the Brass Throne.
Unlike Motkin, Archain doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
But Callard was in a hurry. The world-renowned Marshal of Brittany knew he had to race against time.
At this time, Teresa, the sanctuary sorceress who accompanied the army, played a vital role? When Callard and others were eager to solve the siege of Prager? Teresa completed several major diplomatic achievements.
The sanctuary sorceress first persuaded the dwarves of Dulong City, and the dwarven army of Dulong City, Torgard-Crimson, sent a dwarf army of 4,000 to Erlengrad and then proceeded upstream along the Linsk River. A logistical stronghold was established in the middle of Rag and Erlengrad, and the dwarves of Dulong City would guarantee their lives, until Lawn and Karad successfully retreated? Unless all the dwarves are killed, this stronghold will always exist.
Then? Teresa's letter soon arrived in the Empire's Hawkland and Nordland. These two imperial provinces successively stated that their reinforcements would arrive soon.
The last and most important thing? Teresa found Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of the Imperial Griffin, and sincere letters and messages from the sanctuary sorceress arrived at Ivan's desk? Ryan's godfather personally led the lion after receiving the letter The Eagle Knights depart? Getting ready for Ostermark.
Even if everyone knew that Teresa was using Ryan's face and borrowing Ryan's prestige, it was still a great diplomatic achievement.
In the end, after two weeks of marching, the Continental Army successfully defeated the Chaos army on the periphery of Plager. Lawn personally led the defenders in the city out of the city and welcomed the Continental Army led by Callard into the city.
By this time, 90 percent of the residents of Plager had been moved or retreated further south.
The conference hall inside Prager Castle.
"It's been hard work coming from afar." Lawn sat on the main seat. After staying in the Northland for several years, the Duke of Connet has become accustomed to the cold weather and special combat environment in Kislev. When Callard and others arrived, Lawen couldn't help grinning: "Your Majesty is indeed His Majesty, and the response is really fast."
"Sir Lawn, Your Majesty has always been concerned about your Northern Legion." Callard sat under Lawn. Whether it was arranged in the order of marshals or by titles, Callard was undoubtedly below Lawn. .
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be willing to let Ms. Teresa come with the army." Lawn then greeted Teresa.
"This is His Majesty's order, what I have to do is to execute it, and I am familiar with the environment of Kislev." Teresa also squeezed out a smile: "My witch group and I are under the control of the two marshals, please order Bar."
"Constantine, with your help this time, we will definitely be able to give the Chaos Army some hardships." Raun then said to Rokossovsky.
"Dare to obey." Luo Shuai also nodded.
After a few chats, the marshals under Ryan's command were all practical, without much to say, and immediately began to discuss how to fight next.
In fact, in terms of the style of commanding operations, the three marshals have different styles.
Lawn commanded the army with more than composure, cautious and conservative, but there was no lack of passion and blood in the battle.
Callard's commanding style is calm and full of enterprising spirit, like a mountain that brings great pressure, and his championship duels and personal prowess are the best in the army.
Compared with the first two, Marshal Rokossovsky has a refined and charming personality, but he is more aggressive, belligerent, opportunist and a meticulous military planner in the military. .
"Pragg has been holding on for several months." Lawn pointed to the map: "Our army has fallen into an absolute disadvantage. Chaos troops continue to emerge from the high mountain pass and the north of the Mourning Mountains. At present, the only thing we can The choice is to retreat."
Both Callard and Rokossovsky agreed with Raun, but Callard frowned and stroked his beard and said, "Leon Cole, retreat without a fight?"
"Yes, we can't entangle with the enemy." Lawn went on to explain: "In fact, our opponent and the main commander of Chaos, Tzeentch God's Choice Velich-Curse World is best at fast maneuvering, detouring and interspersing. back."
"Fast maneuvering and detouring?" Rokossovsky looked at the layout of the army outside the city and couldn't help but say: "I think the enemy's layout looks more like a cumbersome beast."
"Because Velich has never commanded such a large army, the number of these Chaos armies is more than five times the size of the largest Chaos army he has ever commanded, plus the major legions and troll kings are not very obedient. Lawn shook his head: "But this situation will change sooner or later."
"If that's the case, then we'll give up the city!" Rokossovsky was straightforward, and Luo Shuai placed his hand on Prager: "But Chaos will never get any glory and supplies from Kislev. , we will destroy everything."
"You mean, burn the city?"
"No, it's not burning the city, it's a fire." Luo Shuai said confidently: "A fire that made Willich lose his position as the commander of the army."
"Lord Lawn, Lord Callard, and Ms. Teresa, let's do this." Rokossovsky pointed his finger around Prager and drew a circle: "Only this time, we will take some risks. risk."
…………I’m the dividing line taking some risks…………
Three days later, Tzeentch's chosen Vilich-Curse was complacent and led his legion into Plage, unexpectedly believing that the arrival of the Brittany Continental Army would change the war. It was protracted and difficult, but it seemed to be the favor of the Demon Bird God. Not only did the defending army quickly rout under his offensive, but also quickly decided to abandon Prager and retreat westward.
Vilich strode into the city of Prager, and he learned that several other Chaos legions, barbarian legions and Beastmen auxiliaries had all been defeated in the battle. The man hurriedly went to the Chaos Wasteland to announce the good news to the eternal god's choice Archaon and then take credit. On the other hand, he planned to sacrifice Prager to the demon bird **** Tzeentch.
However, in the next 48 hours, a fire suddenly broke out in the city of Prager. The Archduke of Prager, Fyodor Rostov Putin, chose to stay in his city. He and his cronies chose to burn the city, while Not to let it fall into the hands of the Chaos Evil God.
The Chaos army suffered a lot in the fire of the whole city. While ordering the fire, Willich ordered the execution of all the mortals he saw. It took 4 days. The fire destroyed two-thirds of the city and gave Willy to the fire. Qi brought more than 4,000 people attrition.
To make matters worse, this incident detonated the conflict between the troll king Solong and Velich. The troll king believed that Tzeentch had chosen "improper" and "despicable means" to win the fruit of victory. Angrily, he led the troll army to leave, returned to the troll kingdom, and concentrated on establishing his own rule there.
Marshal Rokossovsky's plan worked.
However, the situation of Callard and Lawn was also very bad. The 60,000-strong human order coalition left Prager in several columns and moved slowly. Lawne and Callard were worried that if the command was not good, the entire army would Showing a trend of rout, giving up Plague without fighting a battle will greatly damage the morale of the human army, and Wilic-Curse is tightly behind the army, and the Legion of the Curse is only 500 meters away from the mainland army. 's journey.
In this regard, Callard made up his mind, he handed Teresa's witches to the commander of Lawn, and personally led 6,000 people as a rear guard to hinder the Chaos pursuit.
Not long after he left Prager, Marshal Rokossovsky, who was in charge of retreating south to Kislev City, received bad news. He originally planned to lead 20,000 people to retreat to Kisler in the south. Husband City, however, unexpectedly, Khorne champion undefeated - Abar's undefeated legion has circled to their south.
This was Vilic's plan, and Rossi's 20,000-man army fought the Undefeated Legion in the small town of Zagway. This very brutal battle ended with the loss of nearly 5,000 men on both sides, although Rokosovs Ki worked hard to drive the undefeated Abar out of Zagway, but the road to the southward retreat to the city of Kislev was interrupted, and Rokossovsky was forced to lead his army back to the main force in Raun.
In the frantic rush, the human army soon fell into exhaustion and hunger.
Worse news is yet to come, Lawn soon received intelligence~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A greenskin army suddenly attacked their supply route, the supply of the army was cut off suddenly, due to the lack of supplies, discipline first from the southern kingdom The mercenaries and the local militia of Kislev began to disintegrate, and many wounded were ordered to be abandoned. Lawn personally executed some of the rebels, and ordered that the wounded and sick not be abandoned.
The virtues of knights are outstanding, but this also led to the further slowing down of the army's marching speed. The human army, which was exhausted, was quickly overtaken by the army of Willich. The rear guard led by Karad himself was once surrounded. Marshal Rokossovsky personally led the 1st Guard Lancer Regiment to launch a group charge to rescue Callard's rear guard.
Vilich's Legion of Cursed Worlds had just been repelled, and bad news came one after another. The undefeated Abar's 20,000-strong Legion of Undefeateds appeared only 30 kilometers away from Karad and was rushing over.
The Norsca Regiment of 14,000 in Sulsa-Lenk also appeared north of the Linsk River, ready to cross the river.
On the other side, Lawn also got news that the Kurgan Corps of about 13,000 people in Elflik-Kinevov defeated Erengrad at the town of Vitebsk, about 40 kilometers in front of the human army's planned westward retreat road. General Georgy's troops, with only 3,000 men under Georgy's command, could not withstand the onslaught of the Kurgan Army.
And news came from the empire that the Chaos army of the Brass Fortress in the Central Mountains was dispatched under the leadership of the Reaper Varnir to block the reinforcements of the Nord Land. The two sides are at a stalemate.
A series of news made Raun almost desperate, and the fall of Vitebsk meant that the passage back to Erlengrad was closing.
In this way, there are interceptions in front, and chasing soldiers behind.
The human army in Kislev seems to have fallen into a desperate situation.
