Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 350 Chapter 2 Battle of Ghana (Middle)

The war in this era is somewhat like playing chess. The biggest mistake of Hicks Kingdom is that it is a player who has not participated in the competition for more than 40 years. The first time he selected the champion of the previous competition as his opponent, and then he was defeated. At the ground. The problem is that he still refuses to admit defeat, insists that he has the hope of victory, so he once again increased his chip, intends to turn the book, and the result is still lost.

Sometimes self-confidence does not mean strength, just like the five standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom, who believe that with these five standing corps, it is enough to swept the seven overseas governors of the Kingdom of Aueras. But they met the Rangers and the two large slaps, and the two standing corps were completely annihilated. So when they were stunned by these two slaps, they lost their self-confidence, became suspicious, felt that they were weak and not horrified, and the enemy’s imagination was extremely powerful…

Although the Scouts sent out to scout the light rides have no return, even if they come back, they can’t detect the enemy’s news. But by tossing and transmitting the information from the Kingdom of Aueras, the remaining three standing regiments of Hicks Kingdom are still I know who my opponent is. Kingdom of Aueras Stellin The newly formed guard of the royal family, the Rangers. And because the two regiments, Panclair and Claddo, annihilated all the lost grounds and were allowed to expand into legions, there were also two overseas field corps that recruited local garrison armed forces and civilian formation.

It can be said that before the war, the five standing corps of Hicks Kingdom were all confident, and they believed that the strength of each legion was not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Aueras. As for the enemy, the other two so-called overseas field corps. Not in their eyes, this newly formed army during the war was nothing more than the cannon fodder on the battlefield, and the merits of being sent to the door.

In the pre-war deduction of the staff officers of the five standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom, they estimated the strength of the Rangers as one, the same as the five standing corps. At the same time, they overestimated the combat power of the two overseas field corps and set their combat power to 0.5 points to show that they did not underestimate them. In this statistic, the total strength of the five standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom is five, and the total battle of the Kingdom of Aueras is only two. Obviously, the enemy is not his own opponent.

The invincibility of Cromwell’s direct control and the directing of the governor of Beringer Ghana has deepened the impression of the five standing army officers of the Hicks Kingdom. They believe that their pre-war deduction and strength estimation are correct, and victory is just around the corner. Then, Tanya, the two legions of Koutouya were gone, and these two big slaps almost fanned all the staff officers…

The staff officers of the three regiments of Wickron, Sebok and Faiper once again found out all the information about the opponent’s rangers before the war and finally found the key points they ignored. According to intelligence, the Kingdom’s first trump card army, the Guard Legion, acknowledged that the range of the Rangers’ team was comparable to that of them. Even in a battalion’s military exercise, the Guard Corps conducted four field battle drills. All failed.

It is no wonder that Tanya, the two legions of Koutouya will be completely smashed, they underestimated the enemy’s combat power. If they are against the Guard Corps, they will estimate the enemy’s combat power to be one-fifth, the shadow of the person’s name tree, as the first ace field army of the Kingdom of Aueras, no soldier of the Hicks Kingdom will despise the opponent.

Can be exchanged for the unknown tourtaker group, these staff officers inevitably made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Since the Guard Legion admits that the Rangers’ strength is not weaker than themselves, it is clear that the Rangers should also be one and five. Now that the Rangers’ team has been expanded into a regiment, then the combat power should be doubled again, that is, three. The enemy’s two newly formed overseas field corps should have similar combat strength to their own standing army. It should be one, then the total combat power of the enemy is five.

Finally, I found Tanya, the reason why the two legions of Koutouya were completely annihilated, and the staff officers of the remaining three standing legions of Hicks Kingdom put out a long breath. Quite simply, the Rangers and an overseas field army first attacked the Tanya Army and then destroyed the Kuzuo Legion. It was a four-force force. The two standing bodies of the Hicks Kingdom could not be opponents. The whole thing is as it should be by rights.

According to the calculations of these staff officers, even if the enemy is encircling Tanya, the two legions of Koutouya have been damaged, and the total combat strength is still around four. In other words, the current three standing army of Hicks Kingdom is in a weak position, they must be closely united and do not give the enemy a chance. It is even more difficult to divide the soldiers, which will only make the three standing legions of themselves repeat the mistakes of the two legions that have been completely smashed…

Then the three regiments of Vickron, Sebok and Faiper could only warm up on the Dolly River, and the result was that they were in a dilemma. When the back of the logistics supply team was repeatedly attacked and unable to send to the news of the big camp, a field division sent out to escort supplies was ambushed by the Rangers group and only fled back to hundreds of light cavalry. Coupled with the enemy light cavalry around the big camp, this made the three standing army groups confirm that they fell into the trap of the enemy, surrounded by enemy heavy soldiers, hiding in the dark to peep into the camp, always want to bite from them One bite.

At this time, the most sensible strategy for the three legions of Wicklen, Sebok and Feibo is to immediately withdraw from the battalion. The three legions echoed back and forth, and they were able to withdraw from the Weckham Castle, the capital of Cromwell’s direct jurisdiction. After regrouping, they made plans, attack or defense, and all had choices.

No senior military officer of any legion proposed this strategy. Even if everyone knows that this is the best choice, no one is willing to go back to this responsibility, whether it is the strategy or the decision to implement it. The three regiments were nearly two hundred soldiers, and they went to the Dolly River, and when they looked down the scenery, they turned around and did not fight against the enemy. On the contrary, they were all enemies of the enemy in the process of entering the army. It can be said that It was scared back by the enemy. Then, after returning, who is responsible for this responsibility?

Although this can save the three standing army, but the senior officers of the three standing legions can not escape the involvement of accountability. The defeat of the war and the coward’s title will be a shame for their family. What’s more, they may be deprived of nobility and even be jailed…

Therefore, for the senior officers of the three standing army groups, they are eager to hope that the enemy can take the initiative to attack them. Like two ancient knights throwing white gloves to fight each other, they will agree to hold a few times. Hundreds of people’s assembly battles to decide who is the winner, this is the only way they can still maintain their safety.

The problem is that the Rangers have no interest in any old-fashioned assembly battles with the three standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom, and they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack their ruthless camp. Even in accordance with the algorithm of the staff officers, the squadron’s combat power has been equal to the three standing corps, but the squadrons only sent reconnaissance light cavalry to sneak into the camps of the three standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom. Initiate an attack.

This is not going to work. The senior officers of the three standing legions of Hicks Kingdom decided to send troops to take the initiative to lure the Rangers to attack, and then use the oil-adding tactics to expand the battle to form a decisive battle. It is a pity that the Rangers were not fooled. They only used the Scout to ride around to monitor and challenge the attacking forces. Then the problem returned to the three standing army groups of Hicks Kingdom. The troops that attacked could not be too far from the big camp. Otherwise, it would not be the enemy but go out and die.

The senior officers of the three standing corps decided to send a light cavalry regiment to sweep the reconnaissance light rides of the nasty whale-like enemies in the camp. The result was very unfortunate. They saw the light cavalry regiment sent out to chase the enemy’s reconnaissance light ride. A little farther away, the light cavalry, who was turned into a whole enemy, intercepted the back road.

If it wasn’t for the big camp to take the initiative and immediately send troops to meet and rescue half of the people, maybe the light cavalry regiment of more than 4,000 people could not return to one person. The light cavalry of the Rangers found that the receiving troops came out of the camp, and withdrew the slightest hesitation to let go of the retreat of the encircled light cavalry regiment, allowing them to flee back to the camp. It can be seen that the Rangers will not make any decisive battles with the enemy.

This is simply sitting in a city, sitting still waiting. Hicks Kingdom The senior officers of the three standing corps know that although there is still about a month of grain and material reserves in the big camp, the savings can last longer. However, the supply of supplies in the rear is not up, and here is sitting on the mountain, and after the reserves in the big camp are consumed, it is the end of the three standing regiments…

Dividing troops to transport logistics supplies, this road is nowhere, it is easy to be attacked and ambushed by the enemy again. Unless there are three standing army retreats together, no one can afford this responsibility. At the time of the dilemma, a staff officer presented a very complete genius plan. According to his analysis, it is clear that the Rangers and an overseas field army ambushed in the camps of the three standing army battalions, always peeping at the big camp. The battalion of the battalion on its own side is strict, and the enemy can’t find a chance to be embarrassed, so the current situation should be in the state of confrontation between the two armies.

Since the Rangers and an overseas field army are directly under the jurisdiction of Bering Ghana, it is clear that the Robisto directly on the other side of the Dolly River will not be very well-prepared and can be said to be very empty. It is likely that another overseas field army with some casualties is responsible for defense.

Then if you can cross the river by the three standing army groups on your side, you can turn passive into active, and block the Rangers and the overseas field army on the desolate land on the other side of the river, and their three standing army groups can be invincible. The sweep of the Kingdom of Aueras on the other side of the river directly over the jurisdiction, completely laid the foundation of the Hicks Kingdom colony in the Nubissia continent…

As for the squadron of the Kingdom of Aueras and the overseas field army, the direct supply of the governor in Beringer Ghana could not get the supplies of the rear, which is equivalent to the fact that they have cleared themselves. As long as the three standing corps on their own side crossed the river and cut off the logistical supply passages from the directly under the jurisdiction of the river, the only option for the Rangers and the overseas field corps was to surrender and no surrender. Other outlets.

This is simply a plan to turn defeat into victory. Passive and active, can make the three standing legions of Hicks Kingdom regain control of the battlefield, instead of being able to look at the enemy’s light cavalry in the big camp. Attack. However, there is still a problem with this plan, that is, how the three standing army regiments cross the river…

The Dolly River is the largest river in the Nubissia continent, with a width of more than 2,000 meters at its widest point and five six meters of meters at its narrowest point, generally around a thousand meters. Unfortunately, the rivers of the three standing regiments camped in Anzhai were one thousand five hundred meters wide and the water was raging. If the three standing legions want to make their own pontoon crossing the river, they have to find another suitable river crossing location.

The downside of this is that it is likely that the Rangers will find their intention to cross the river, prepare well early, and even cross the river to ambush on the other side, and then half-boil what, so the result is only It will make all the planning of the three standing army groups into a bubble, and the crossing of the river will not be a big defeat.

So the best way is to keep the three standing army groups in motion and confuse the squadron. Pinning the hope of crossing the river to the Neptune Fleet of Hicks Kingdom. As long as the Neptune Fleet is dispatched, the blockade of the entrance to the Dolly Nibala River in the port of Patras, the capital of Robesto, is broken, and the waterway of the Dolly River is restored. Then the Neptune Fleet can go upstream, reaching the camps of the three standing legions, and transporting the three standing regiments across the river is a breeze.

In this way, not only is the enemy’s surprise, but also allows the Neptune fleet to block the entire Dolly River, to prevent the squadron and the overseas field army from being directly isolated from the river. ……

This is the best river crossing strategy at the moment. The key to the defeat of this colonial war is whether the Neptune Fleet can break the blockade of the entrance to the Dolly Nibala River in the port of Patras, the capital of Robesto. The senior officers of the three standing army groups know that the adoption of this strategy, the Neptune Fleet has become the best shabu-shabu object for everyone.

If this war fails, then all responsibility will be backed by the Neptune Fleet. In the past two years, Hicks Kingdom has invested so much in military development to expand the size of the Neptune Fleet. As a result, they have not been able to recover the waterway of the Dolly River, and there is no way to break the entrance to the Dolly River. blockade. So what is the meaning of the existence of this Neptune fleet?

Kingdom The heroic Wicklen, Sebuk and Feiboth regiments, after the powerful enemies encircled the Tanya Legion and the Kudonia Army, still feared the enemy and fought hard, regardless of the casualties. The enemy formed a confrontational state and won an opportunity for victory. The result was all because the Neptune Fleet’s lack of power and incompetence led to defeat, and there was no way to defeat it. Then the biggest responsible person for this war failure is obvious, and the wrench will not hit the senior officers of the three standing army groups…

Therefore, in the use of the eagle to transfer this plan and the river to the port of Vibator to allow the Neptune fleet to perform, the senior officers of the three standing army also deliberately jointly emphasized the importance and urgency of this cross-river strategy. Then they closed the camp and stopped attacking and waited for the arrival of the Navy fleet.

Holy Light, January 587, seems to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. The plains of Ghana have a rare return to peace. Even in the front line, few guns can be heard…
