Chapter 100: Swing the Army South (Part 2)
(This is the second update. I slept very full this afternoon, and there should be updates in the early morning.
The combat power bursting out when people's hearts are condensed is very amazing!
The cohesion brought by a great leader made this combat power explode in geometric form. If it were replaced by the earth, an individual would become a symbol of its representativeness, and that person was Hitler. The ruined Germany after the war began its rapid rise in just a few years under his command, and eventually became the hegemon of the world at that time.
Before the beginning of World War II, he was even praised as a legend by European countries!
If you want to use a more vivid sentence to describe it, it is - 'like starting a cheater'!
After taking down Fremont City, Murphy's troops were divided into two groups, led by General Jerry Rivad, leading the reserve army and some of the defeated soldiers recruited on the road, set out along the Nidoria River and captured the riverside cities. These cities had no walls that were already in shape, and the troops they had built were limited to private soldiers in the hands of the nobles, so they did not have much combat power.
In addition, he led the main force to continue southward and headed directly towards the base camp of the noble council!
On the afternoon of the same day.
The battlefield of General Leodalee also sent good news. Under his leadership, the Athenian army was unstoppable, and they captured three small and medium-sized cities within the sky, with less than a thousand casualties. The military power of Athens was too strong, and many indigenous soldiers lost their will to resist, and the poor in the lower class stood enthusiastically on the side of Murphy. When General Leodalee attacked a medium-sized city, several indigenous rangers (the awakened even took the initiative to help him open the city gate and welcome the army of Athens. When those indigenous nobles discovered it too late, and after the elite troops of Athenian entered the city, they could not even organize a decent resistance.
After pacifying the northwest, General Leodal continued to march into the southern plains. As long as he took down the city of Morrodo, the city of twelve large cities, would be able to form a place with Murphy's army. At that time, the noble parliament would be completely powerless to turn things around.
"Governor! There are a group of mutated cavemen gathering in front of you!" A knight came to Murphy's side and said respectfully.
When the Athenian army advanced, the service was sent by the elite Macedonian cavalry, which actually conducted reconnaissance of the army's advance within a radius of fifty miles. At the same time, there were 5,000 vanguard troops, built bridges and opened roads on the road, clearing out the roads - a road that could accommodate tens of thousands of troops. Athens sent troops very quickly, but in two days, several cities were captured one after another, but the subsequent advance was much slower.
The reason is very simple, that is, these indigenous nobles almost never build roads.
The roads in the Dutch of Athens are well connected, and within a day, you can lead to all parts of the Principality. However, when you reach the territory of the aboriginal nobles, the roads become very muddy, and spring is rainy again, and those dirt roads become difficult to walk when it rains.
This greatly delayed the speed of the Athenian marching.
Backwardness-primitive-ignorance, these indigenous nobles have almost no real vision. From the fact that they have developed for thousands of years or are unwilling to build roads, they can see that their thoughts have been imprisoned by power that has been held for too long. What they want to do is to master this power as much as possible, and this is an important factor in the stagnation of civilization for the entire human city-state.
These muddy roads can affect the pace of the enemy's attack and buy enough time for themselves. However, in the peace era, the trade development of the entire city-state was limited, and the exchange between the north and the south would become difficult. If the goods could not be circulated, they would not be able to stimulate the economy, and they would not be able to achieve the purpose of cultural exchanges. Although this is what the noble parliament needs, because the ignorant people are very easy to rule.
"Wast, you lead a team of soldiers to clear them!" This is not included in the statistics of the strategic map of "Total War", because it is not considered the land of the Principal of Athens. However, since he encountered a mutated caveman who was in trouble, he could not sit idly by and immediately ordered a general to clear them.
After the establishment of the Principality of Athens, the college cultivated a large number of talents.
These talents have received systematic military education and have a high level of knowledge. Although they have not reached the point of being recognized as generals by the system, their abilities are good. As long as they have been trained in practice, they can basically be recognized as generals by the auxiliary system. Athens now has more than 20 ordinary generals. Although their abilities are not comparable to those of the earliest generals, they are all very young. As long as they are given enough time, they can grow up.
"Yes! Your Excellency Grand Duke!" the officer named Waster responded.
Then he took a team of soldiers. These mutated cavemen may be more difficult to deal with for the indigenous army, but for the elite troops in Athens, it is not very difficult to deal with. The taxi and ponies in Athens are now present, all of whom have experienced several major wars. They have very abundant combat experience and physical fitness, and their strength is close to the Samsungs recognized by the auxiliary system.
Day 5.
A good news came from General Leodale again. In just a day, the iron-blooded general took another large city, Morodo. When Murphy received the good news, he wrote down the scene of General Leodale taking over Morodo in vivid writing. When he finished reading this good news, Murphy couldn't help but smile. He really didn't expect General Leodale to have this hand.
That day.
The war drums shook the sky and the flag was fierce.
The troops led by General Leodalee were less than 30,000, and the indigenous nobles who ruled the city of Morrodou gathered twice as many troops as Athens, with more than 60,000. Because the number of people in the area was more than twice that of the enemy, the indigenous nobles actually boldly chose to compete with General Leodalee on the plain battlefield, preparing to use this victory to temporarily restore some morale and gain enough time to draw troops from the southern wilderness line.
Athens' offensive was too fast.
The members of the noble parliament could no longer sit still. In less than a week, a third of the land of the human city-state fell into the hands of Athens. If the Athenian offensive could not be curbed, once such a general trend was formed, even if they gathered enough troops, the soldiers completely lost their confidence in defeating Athens. After all, over the years, the power of Athens' military power and the strength of the Sydar soldiers had begun to become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
The two armies faced off.
Facing the enemy with double the number of people on the side, General Leodale was not afraid at all. He signaled the accompanying sect, Merlin, to release a loudspeaker magic on himself, and then stood proudly in front of the enemy's formation.
General Leodale, who was covered in armor, looked down at the low-spirited Aboriginal army and shouted:
"We defeated the Gnoll!"
"We defeated the orcs!"
"We drove the lizardmen back to their hometown!"
"The dragon trembled under our butcher knife!"
"The devil is drinking hatred under our spear!"
General Leodal roared, and with the blessing of magic, the rolling sounds resounded throughout the battlefield, and a compelling momentum enveloped everyone. He looked down proudly at the aboriginal nobles, stared at their frightened expressions with contempt, and roared: "Now!"
"Are you going to be enemies with us?"
"Are you going to be enemies with the powerful and invincible Sridae? Are you going to be enemies with Athens blessed by the gods of Olympus?"
"Humans need powerful warriors to protect themselves in this world."
"you!"
"Did you, the people who took the sword and faced us, really decide to go to war with the soldiers of Syedar for a corrupt and depraved parliament?"
"Let down your weapon!"
"Athen is not your enemy, your enemies are those decaying and depraved nobles, who are no longer able to protect the human city-state! Look! Now the southern plains have become - what is it! Look at your commander and look at their fat-hearted appearance. Such nobles are really worth your weapons to fight for them?"
There is no need to say much about the outcome of the battle.
Many of the nobles in Morodo City were obese and even difficult to get on the horse. Their existence only highlighted the mighty power of General Leodale! The indigenous soldiers who were shaken by the army had no intention of fighting at all. Under the impact of the elite troops of Athens, they were even more defeated. Those indigenous nobles, who saw that the situation was wrong, immediately wanted to escape, but did not expect that this move led to many soldiers turning against each other and arresting them and offering them to General Leodale.
After this battle, Athens' momentum was at its peak!
The words that General Leodale said on the battlefield quickly spread all over the world, and General Jerry Rivad also learned something and took down several cities along the river.
Murphy didn't believe it very much if General Leodale could say such words.
This general was not a person with great literary talent. As a pure Sriet master, he could even use it as a model. However, Mrs. Elizabeth was operating a mercenary union, and General Leodalee's intelligence was sent from Mrs. Elizabeth. According to Murphy's inference, these words were probably from the woman's work, and the good news described it vividly was nothing more than the woman's attempt to continue this trick to seek credit from Murphy.
Although she did not explicitly say that it was her, Murphy's intelligence could naturally infer some points.
"Do you want a reward?" After reading the victory, Murphy raised a playful smile on his lips and said slowly: "When this battle is over, I will reward you well."
