Chapter 498: Crushing Decisive Battle
Just when Solandel's eyes were filled with stars and she was chattering about the heroic deeds of "Black Lion" Garrot like a little fan girl, Kino completely ignored her praise and said lightly: "Then let me see it.
This guy is really awesome."
Immediately afterwards, not only did he not give the siege troops a retreat order, he even transferred all nearby mobile troops to Graycastle and surrounded it.
“You will definitely regret this choice!” Solandel saw that the Far Eastern troops near Graycastle had greatly increased. In order to increase her chances of winning, she not only sent out the Lionheart Legion, but also mobilized the nearby guerrilla legions.
In this way, the fierce tug-of-war began.
With Gray Castle as the main battlefield, the Far Eastern Army and the Royal Army fought over and over again, and the battle was dark and dark.
At first, the Lion-Hearted Legion sent by Solandel had a miraculous effect. Not to mention so many Lion-Hearted warriors, Garrot alone had a combat power comparable to that of an entire elite army, capable of fighting tens of thousands of warriors.
Extraordinary warrior from the Far East.
This is a one-man army in the true sense, and it is not restricted by terrain, formation, supply and other legion combat elements. It can fight at any time and withdraw at any time. An ordinary Far Eastern army can be said to be broken into pieces when it encounters Garrot. In just a short time
Thousands of people have been hacked to death in just a few days.
However, as the scale of the war expanded, both sides invested more and more troops, and support from top warriors gradually appeared on Kino's side.
In terms of single combat, none of these top warriors was Garrot's opponent, but quantitative changes led to qualitative changes. Hundreds of three-clawed golden dragons fought against Garrot, directly suppressing his ability to kill ordinary warriors.
While Graycastle was in a tug-of-war, Kino's attacks on other inland cities did not stop. It could be said that they were blooming more and more, and they were besieging the city and annihilating it. In front of them, there were warriors who climbed up the city wall with Qinggong and fought with the defenders.
Later, siege engines projected flint into the city, launching indiscriminate attacks on military camps and civilian buildings.
Facing the cities that were reduced to a sea of flames, Solandel was eager to protect the people. All the troops went out to support various places, fought bloody battles with the Far Eastern Army, and even mobilized the elite garrison in the "Cardinal Province", and even some
The "Cardinal Guards", known as the "King's Guards", were all sent out.
This nationwide counterattack was so fierce that Kino's Far East vanguard could not withstand it at all. They were wiped out in large numbers, and the battle loss ratio was extremely exaggerated. On average, it took 5 Far East soldiers to replace one Dogulan.
German soldier.
In this way, the royal army commanded by Solandel sang loudly all the way and won the defense battles of twenty cities in a row, defeating the Far East vanguard and retreating steadily.
Sorandel had heard Lorna say before that Lugo and Kino were playing a war game and kneeling for twenty consecutive times. Now she backhanded Kino and beat him to his knees for twenty consecutive times. Not to mention how proud she was, her little face was full of confidence.
His expression couldn't be hidden, and he looked at Kino with a smile as if showing off.
With a faint smile on his face, Kino glanced at Solandel playfully and continued his war game.
The next situation is still a tug-of-war. The Royal Army and the Far Eastern Army are fighting in the interior. You eat my soldiers and horses, and I will annihilate your army. The entire interior is covered in mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
Solandel perfectly explained what "not giving up an inch of ground" means. She would definitely use stronger troops to win back any city she lost. Wherever there was a breakthrough, she would definitely regain the lost territory at all costs.
This tough style of play allowed her to sing all the way and win all the battles without exception.
But as the fight continued, a problem came to light. This tug-of-war took a long time, and the two sides fought for several months.
Just when the Far East vanguard was completely wiped out, the main 800,000-strong Far East army had used these few months to cross the desert and march to the kingdom. After crossing the Fengyun Pass, they launched a step-by-step advance formation in the interior.
As for the kingdom, after the previous tug-of-war, Solandel still has 93 legions left in her hands, some of which are still complete, and some of which have been disabled, and they have been pieced together to make up 500,000 troops.
The two sides faced each other tit for tat in the interior, and finally a massive decisive battle broke out.
The Far East Army is backed by Fengyun Pass, and through the time gained from the previous tug-of-war, it has established a complete transportation hub along the way. The front line between the mainland of the dynasty, the desert, and Fengyun Pass has been completely opened up, whether it is transporting food supplies, transferring the wounded, or sending additional troops
All new recruits were admitted unimpeded.
The army of the Kingdom of Doguland is backed by the Cardinal Province, so it logically has a favorable geographical location. However, as mentioned before, due to the previous lycanthropic epidemic, Doguland's military strength and economic situation were at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Coupled with Solandelle’s previous tough counterattack against the Far East Vanguard, the treasury has been emptied, and the logistics cannot keep up at all.
Judging from the time, it is now the cold "winter" season, but the frontline soldiers in Doguland don't even have a single cotton-padded coat, and only three people on average are allocated one blanket when sleeping.
There was also a general shortage of food. In order to make the soldiers feel full as much as possible, the quartermaster had to mix the limited food with a lot of water and make porridge for the soldiers to drink. Each of them had a bloated stomach after drinking, but they were actually very hungry.
My eyes are dazzled.
There is already a strength gap between the two sides. Coupled with this huge logistical gap, the result is needless to mention. The kingdom's 500,000-strong army may seem huge in number, but in fact it has low morale due to logistical problems and has no combat effectiveness at all.
After the final deduction, the battlefield of the decisive battle was almost a one-sided massacre. The 800,000 Far Eastern army only suffered 110,000 battle losses and killed the 500,000 Royal Army without leaving any trace behind. In the end, they crossed the Cardinal Province without any hindrance, captured the royal city, and conquered
This ancient country was destroyed and the laurel flag disappeared into history.
"Oh no" After the fall of the royal city, Solandel just woke up from a dream. She held her head in her hands and looked at the derivation in shock, "I lost."
Chino smiled and asked: "Where did you lose?"
"I don't know," Solandel pursed her lips hard and said in disbelief, "You were chased and beaten by me in front of you. If you conquer a city, I will take back another city. My battle losses will always be greater than yours."
To be beautiful, I have obviously won all the battles.”
Chino: "See, this is where you lose. You win all the battles."
Solandel opened her eyes wide and asked: "Winning all the battles counts as losing?"
Kino waved to Solandel to come to him, then put his arm around her shoulders, pointed to one of the battlefields and asked, "What happened here?"
Solandel said without thinking: "In the battle to defend Graycastle, we had more than 6,000 defenders and more than 14,000 reinforcements. Your siege force was more than 8,000 and more than 16,000 reinforcements. In the end, we annihilated more than 13,000 of your people at the cost of more than 7,000 casualties.
, defended Gray Castle."
Chino: "Why did you launch the defense of Graycastle?"
Solandel still said without thinking: "For Graycastle."
Chino repeated the question: "For what?"
Solandel thought that Kino didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it again: "For Gray Castle, to defend Gray Castle."
Chino still had the same question: "For what?"
