Chapter 256 Still Needs to Grow (34/102)
The Long Yin Army is a military branch that Eugen had long conceived. If the Long Xiang Army is equivalent to a regular army, then the Long Yin Army is a special force.
This army is not very large in number, but it has high requirements for the quality of individual soldiers. In many cases, they have to perform some very special tasks.
With this army, Eugen is equivalent to having a hidden sharp knife. At any time, he has the ability to fight back.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Everything is still in the stage of conception and it still takes a long time to cultivate it.
At this moment, Eugen had found a captain for the Dragon Hidden Army, and that was Corion in front of him. As the saying goes, no doubt about using people, no doubt about people. Since Eugen has left Corion's life, he is willing to believe him.
With Eugen's approval, Corion raised his head and looked at him deeply, then nodded silently, turned around and left Eugen's tent.
A crescent-shaped footprint was left on the white snow. Eugen looked at Corion's back and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he chuckled, shouted with a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the tent.
In the cold winter, the eagle stays in the nest and is hungry for feeding. The eagle circles and overlooks the earth at a high altitude. It is not yet time, and it is not yet time to start spring. The eagle still needs time and needs to grow.
When the warm wind blows and the earth recovers, the eagles will rise from the sky, spread their wings and rush towards the vast blue sky, and now they still need to grow.
After the war to recover the territory ended, the Lebre region finally returned to its former tranquility. The pass restrictions were lifted, and merchants driving large trucks traveled to and from the Saxony region, transporting goods in all directions.
The people here have also spent a peaceful winter, from the Po River defense line to the eastern border of the Leber region, they have actually been controlled by Eugen.
The area of this land is extremely vast, almost equivalent to the size of half of the Principality of Saxony. If all the troops in this area are gathered together, the total number can reach more than 50,000.
This is a terrible force. Holding such a force in his hand made Eugen's words heavier, and his status in the entire empire also increased.
All this happened so quickly. Eugen was at a great disadvantage in the Leiber region, but the situation reversed instantly because of the victory of a battle.
Then he even made a lightning strike, swallowing the entire Leiber region in just one month, and smashing a heavy weight between the balance formed by various large forces in the Holy Roman Empire.
At this moment, Eugen already has the power to break the balance.
------
The actions of the 30,000 Hohenzollern family's army in the southeast of the empire were immediately affected. If they wanted to continue to march towards Vienna, they would inevitably have friction with Eugen.
During this period, the Habsburg family mobilized all their might, convening a total of 50,000 troops stationed in the southeast to block the Hohenzollern family's troops.
The battle between the two sides was suddenly in a stalemate. The Habsburg army would not take the initiative, and Hohenzollern did not dare to provoke the battle easily.
On the northern battlefield, the offensive of the Vetina family was also blocked, and the weather was getting colder. The Saxony Martial Arts was located at the northern end of the empire, where there were few large grain-producing areas. Over time, the supply of food and grass for the Vetina family army began to appear.
Many times, their soldiers even need to plunder the villages to maintain the daily needs of the army.
In the Saxony front camp, a roar like a lion came from the camp's military tent. Duke Billon broke the goblet in his hand and cursed: "This idiot Tarik! I gave him so many troops, and even a young boy could not beat him. He was such a waste!"
After smashing the wine glass in his hand, Duke Billon was still unhappy and raised his big-headed leather shoes and stepped on the fragments a few times, as if he was stepping on Viscount Tarik's face.
The generals in the military tent did not dare to say anything, for fear that Duke Billon would transfer his anger to his head.
It is impossible to blame Duke Billon for having a bad temper. What happened these days is so disgusting. Viscount Tarik is a pawn arranged by the Vetina family. Every year, the Vetina family spends a lot of financial resources to support his operations in the Lebir region.
According to the original plan, after Tarik annexed the entire Leiber region, he could gather an army of more than 10,000 people in the local area.
At that time, he would march from the south to Vienna with this army of ten thousand people, and the Hohenzollern family and the northern army would be able to encircle the Habsburg family in Vienna on three sides.
The front line was lengthened to this extent, with the Habsburg family's troops unable to defend at all, there were only two routes to choose from.
The first is to shrink the defense, which will form a pattern of three armies besieging Vienna. The Habsburg family will never be able to defend it. The day when the city is broken is the end of the Habsburg dynasty.
The second road is when the Habsburg family leaves Vienna and evacuate to the eastern border of the empire. To the east is a way for them to deliberately leave for the Habsburg family. There is an alliance of a large number of loose nobles. When the Habsburg family enters it, their power will inevitably be weakened. In the end, even if some residual power is left, it is impossible to have the spare energy to return to Vienna to seize the throne.
There are two roads, one is a bright steel knife and the other is a soft poison. No matter how you choose, the Habsburg family will not be able to escape the decay in the end, and the position of the imperial emperor will change hands.
The abacus was good, but when everything was ready, Viscount Tarik lost the chain and threw it away.
Everyone knows that Eugen is a member of the Habsburg family and has a close relationship with the royal family. Moreover, he and the Vetina family are still in a state of hostility. In a state of war, Eugen will inevitably join the Habsburg camp.
At present, Eugen has emerged, and the Lebre region and Vienna are connected to the front line. The Habsburg family immediately gained strong support, creating a favorable situation where they can attack and retreat and defend.
In this case, it is like a fool to implement the previous plan again. It is like playing chess. If you are not careful in one move, you will lose all the game.
At this moment, the Vetina family had fallen into an extremely passive situation. They could either increase their troops again and attack Vienna with all their might, and directly defeat the Habsburg family on the front battlefield, or they would simply do nothing and take their soldiers back to the Saxony region in shame.
If they want to retreat, they will never be able to pay no price. In the end, in order to calm the condemnation of the noble world, they must agree to some very harsh conditions in Habsburg.
