Chapter 171 The Gruboni Empire: Why Don't You Move Your Capital?【1/5 For Automatic Subscription
Sofia looked at the dark door in front of him and the artillery dragged by the carriage, his eyes were full of fire.
She couldn't help but looked in the direction of Ulysses, only to see that the latter had a smile that she had expected a long time ago, and the hateful joke in that smile made Sofia grit her teeth secretly.
No wonder it is possible to design and manufacture weapons such as artillery.
Isn't this animal a humanoid self-propelled cannon?
The expression on Ulysses' face could already be seen.
Unlike steam-powered ironclad ships, Ulysses should be able to sell her a batch of field guns like this, but it is clear that this man is paying attention to that
"The Kingdom of Toulouse is mostly plains and forests. The terrain itself is open and there are no steep places. Artillery can definitely play a big role here."
"As long as you cooperate with the Musketeers under your command, Toulouse itself is not a threat."
"Under the attack from the north and the south, it is not difficult to occupy the whole of Toulouse."
Ulysses said, but regardless of the people around him, he naturally put his arms around Sofia's slender waist.
So Fia rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything about paying attention to the influence.
"The north-south attack is somewhat difficult. On the side of the Chibanga Mountain Fortress, I have completely blocked the city gates with cement. Once it is dismantled, the Chibanga Mountain Fortress will no longer be as difficult to deal with as before."
"When our troops were dispatched, the rear was empty, and it was very likely that people from the northern defense line of the Gruberni Empire would steal the rear."
"Once they occupy our Chibanga mountain fortress when our army is going north and the northern army is attacking the capital of Toulouse from north to south, they will directly threaten our domestic security......
So Fia sighed, with concern in her eyes.
The Golden Feather Kingdom of Veroni is so similar to the original Prouker nation, lacking in history.
Once the offense is chosen, the defense is really left to fate.
Ulysses smiled lightly upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, I bet those guys from the Gruberney Empire will never dare to go north to support Toulouse!"
"Your Majesty, the Ouz River has been taken over by those guys like Veronie Golden Feather. Those guys who don't have eggs have completely forgotten their identities."
"General Cook secretly sent several envoys to lure the coerced servants to surrender, but those guys have completely surrendered to Verony Jinyu, and they used their tricks to lure the cavalry led by General Cook into the trap. …”
"After the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Sehmet entered the north of our country, they were ambushed by the Veroni Golden Feather Musketeers and the Cavalry on the outskirts of the Suen Forest. They suffered heavy casualties and retreated back again."
"There is news from the Kingdom of Sekhmet that the navy of Veroni Golden Feather is about to attack their only seaport, and they don't have any extra troops to support us.
"Your Majesty, the upper reaches of the Uzi River have been occupied, and the army of Veronie Golden Feather will soon be able to reach our royal capital southward by virtue of the waterway.
The king of the Kingdom of Toulouse was sitting on the throne, hearing bad news one after another, the expression on his whole face was all the same.
All the ministers at the scene lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, and each of them was silent like a cicada, daring not to say a word.
After a long while, the King of Toulouse finally spoke.
"How many troops are there in the capital?"
The Minister of War immediately came out: "The defenders of the country are 60,000, and the reinforcements of the Agum Kingdom are 15,000..."
There was another dead silence.
There are only 75,000 defenders in total, but the Veroni Golden Feather Northern Army they are facing has a total of 130,000!
Among them, there were more than 10,000 Musketeers, and the rest were all servants composed of Toulouse people.
Not to mention anything else, it's just that these servants, now equipped with fine steel weapons and stimulated by full military pay, don't mention the Kingdom of Toulouse at all.
When it came to killing people, it was even more vicious than those musketeers of Veronie's Golden Feather.
Often, as soon as Arina, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, gave the order, the people here rushed out impatiently.
Along the way, the Musketeers can even be said to be training troops, constantly expanding the Musketeers' ranks.
The main driving force of the war is already these servants of Toulouse.
Thinking of this, the King of Toulouse felt a burst of angina in his heart. He never thought that one day he would be persecuted to such an extent by his former subjects.
What's more, he didn't expect that a woman who had never been in his eyes would cause such a big reversal in the battle situation on their side in two or three months.
The generals from the Kingdom of Agum who came to support them came out with serious expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, the current battle situation is extremely unfavorable for us. It is no longer worthwhile for us to continue to defend in San Bamako. I suggest that your country should move eastward.
As soon as this remark came out, some ministers at the scene immediately objected.
"Your Majesty, although General Harry's words are reasonable, they are too pessimistic. We are not completely hopeless now. Your Highness the Crown Prince still has troops attacking the Kingdom of Veronie Golden Feather in the south."
"As long as we break through the Chibanga mountain fortress, Veroni Jin Yu will definitely be in chaos internally, then it's time for us to counterattack."
"Yes, Your Majesty, in the face of a country ruled by women, how can we Toulouse choose to back down? Absolutely no!"
These people were furious, and Harry Fa, the reinforcement general of Agum Kingdom, shook his head helplessly.
Anyway, besides moving the capital now, he can't think of any other way.
Just as everyone was discussing fiercely how to let Crown Prince Shelkane break through the fortress of Verony's Golden Feather Kingdom as soon as possible, an anxious voice came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
But seeing the guard of the king's capital running in with a panicked expression, everyone showed shock.
"What's the matter? This panic, has the northern army already killed?! How many people have come?!"
The king of the Kingdom of Toulouse also stood up at this moment and asked anxiously.
The guard shook his head.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Shelkane has returned. The Chibanga Mountain Fortress has been unable to attack for a long time. His Highness's southward army has suffered heavy losses..."
Everyone heard that some people with poor psychological qualities shook their bodies and almost fainted on the ground.
The King of Toulouse is also unbelievable.
"What's going on? How could there be a big defeat?! Isn't the opponent only defending the city?"
The guard didn't know, so he could only bring in the returning Shelkane and other generals.
When everyone saw the situation of Shelkane and the others at the moment, their eyes all popped out.
Almost everyone was wounded, his face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen and bloodshot, and he looked haggard like a refugee who had returned from the disaster.
Shelkane lowered his head and knelt in front of his father, a majestic seven-foot man. Thinking of the experiences of these days, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooney"
"Despicable! The means are low, they don't fight us head-on at all, they just use that kind of firearm against us..."
After Shelkane talked about the attack on Chibanga Mountain Fortress during these days, everyone present fell silent.
Harry Fa, the general of Agum Kingdom, frowned even more.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, once the enemy is dispatched to the north with that kind of explosive weapon, there will be no city that can defend it at all."
Harry's words, now there is really no one who can refute.
However, then a minister asked eagerly as if he had thought of something.
"Then there are so many defenders in the north of the Gruboni Empire, shouldn't they just watch Verony Jinyu go north from the Chibanga mountain fortress?"
The Gruberni Empire is the front line against the Prouker Empire's attack in the high-level plan of the Allied Powers in the future.
Today, there are more than 100,000 defenders on the border, and concrete bunkers and city defenses are being built everywhere.
Moreover, the Gruboni Empire is not far from the Chibanga mountain fortress in the Golden Feather Kingdom of Veroni.
The eyes of the king of the Kingdom of Toulouse lit up, as if he saw the hope of reversing this war.
However, just as he was about to say something, Shelkane, who was kneeling below, shook his head sadly.
"Father, there is no hope for the 407 Gruboni Empire. They have completely given up their offensive strategy. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people every day, plus the emperor's laborers mobilized from all over the alliance."
"Fortifications are being built all the time."
"After I failed in the attack, I sent people to ask them for help, but I only got a batch of food and siege equipment..."
"Now the emperor of the Prouker Empire has brought artillery troops to support Verony Jinyu, and wants them to send troops to support us at this time..."
The King of Toulouse was shocked: "What did you say?! The artillery troops of the Prouker Empire are coming?! The kind of artillery that destroyed the fortress of Townsville Hill?!"
Shelkane nodded.
Immediately, the king of the Kingdom of Toulouse sat on the throne weakly.
His hands were trembling uncontrollably.
He understood that if this were the case, the Kingdom of Toulouse would really be over.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After the continuous shelling, on the messy construction site in the northern border area of the Gruboni Empire, heads finally carefully popped out of the smoke and dust.
"General, they're gone..."
The guard of the Gruberni Empire, who was in charge of supervising this line of defense, frowned. He looked at the Prouker Imperial Army swaying in the distance, loading the artillery into the carriage, and marching away, with a gloomy face that dripped water.
"Have you found out why?"
Soon an adjutant ran over with a letter in a disheveled manner.
"General, I have found out. Recently, the emperor of the Prouker Empire will bring artillery troops to support the Golden Feather Kingdom of Veroni. According to the intelligence, their troops will start from the Chibanga Mountain Fortress and head north."
"These Prouker troops in Loubenshire, such behavior, the above believes that this should be a warning.
"Warning that we cannot support the Kingdom of Toulouse..."
"boom!"
Hearing this, the guard was so angry that he slammed his fist on the half-built wall beside him, and aggrieved anger rose in his heart.
