The first thousand two hundred and seventy-five chapters besieged
"Out of the way, out of the way, Casmonlia was defeated, and Commander Borden only escaped with his own life~"
"The peacekeeping force suffered its first defeat, and the war turned around in an instant."
"They all asked for it. Senior military experts commented on the three major factors in the defeat of Casmonlia."
"The tyrant De Rossi still has a backup plan, and the outcome is unknown."
"..."
Newsboys rushed into the crowd waving freshly baked morning newspapers that still smelled of ink, shouting loudly, and immediately caused a rush of looting from passers-by.
Because newspapers are so popular, the newsboys often can't walk very far with the newspapers before they are all sold out.
In most cases, people who buy newspapers will immediately start reading them impatiently.
It was hard for everyone to believe that the powerful peacekeeping force suffered a major defeat within less than a month of the war.
The peacekeeping operation in Leiria, which was originally a sure win, has now become confusing and confusing, making it difficult to see clearly.
At the same time, Lord Lorraine received a detailed battle report from the front.
Different from the news published in newspapers, what Lorraine had in front of was first-hand information from those who had experienced it.
"Two hundred thousand against thirty thousand, you can annihilate an entire army, what a talent~!" Chairman Leo pointed at the battle report with his fat and round finger, and mocked with disdain: "I knew these guys before.
They are incompetent, but they always think that no matter how incompetent they are, there must be a limit.
Unexpectedly, these guys are so talented and can repeatedly set their own limits.
It's...that's enough.
With such a bunch of teammates who are like pigs, how can we still have a fart fight~!"
Lorraine tapped her fingers on the table, looked at him seriously, and said, "Leo, be careful what you say. Don't insult pigs casually. They also have dignity.
Leo couldn't help being startled, and then he held his belly with both hands and laughed loudly. While laughing, he said in admiration: "Haha. Boss, haha, you still have a poisonous mouth, hahaha..."
Lorraine glanced at him, shrugged and said, "I'm just seeking truth from facts."
He paused, then looked at the military map of Leiria spread on the table, and then moved his fingers on the map bit by bit, looking for the battlefield at that time.
Finally, my fingertips stopped on an inconspicuous small plain - although there was a big gap compared to the standardized military maps of later generations, it could basically clearly mark the general terrain. Find a location.
It doesn't take much effort to understand the terrain.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the terrain of the plain carefully.
I saw that the terrain on the plain was flat, and there were no peaks or valleys. At best, there were only some small mounds. It was not easy to hide a raiding force in these places without being discovered.
Not only does it require commanders to have strong leadership and organizational skills and adaptability, but it also requires soldiers to have strong obedience and tolerance for harsh environments.
In addition, judging from the combat situation, they also have extremely powerful attack power.
And any army that can do this is an elite division that has experienced hundreds of battles.
There are only a handful of armies like this on the mainland.
Even if a general like Sir Alex has a commanding power of 99, among the most elite dogs under his command, only one or two can do this.
And it can only last for two days at most.
After more than two days, the mental endurance of those brats will drop significantly, and then they will start sneaking around and harassing the place.
It seems that I have indulged those brats too much~! When the prince thought of this, he gritted his teeth, and then made up his mind. He would have to give them more training later.
At the same time, he became even more curious about the sudden appearance of the reinforcements. That army came from a long distance, and as soon as it arrived, it immediately went into battle. It was really the best among the best.
He knocked on the table and murmured: "Where did De Rossi's support army come from?"
Chairman Leo scratched his head in distress and said, "Yeah. I'm also very surprised. Such an army is all double-bonus stick level. Who would be willing to hand them over to that 25-year-old De Rossi?"
As he spoke, he changed his tone, stamped his feet, and said angrily: "Those Casmonlians are really stupid.
After such a battle, surprisingly, not even a single prisoner was captured. Otherwise, at least we would have gotten some information.
You’re a loser, you’re a loser to the extreme~!”
Lorraine also shook her head regretfully.
The battle report clearly tells the story of the entire battle.
Casmonlia's army marched at night, paralyzed by victory.
Marquis Burden actually arrogantly formed a long queue in the enemy-occupied area.
Then these bastards fell into disrepute.
At the same time in the early morning, we were attacked by an unidentified army.
The commander of the Marquis of Burdon later firmly concluded that this army was not from Leiria, nor from other parts of the peacekeeping force.
Because this army is really... really powerful.
Doesn’t this mean pointing your nose at the coalition forces and calling them all idiots?
Therefore, as soon as his words came out, the generals of the coalition forces immediately scolded him.
But Marquis Burden gritted his teeth and refused to let go. He just said: "It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy's army is too powerful."
The more this happened, the more everyone believed that this was Marquis Burden shirking responsibility for the failure, so he exaggerated the enemy's strength to cover up his own failure.
Marquis Burdon didn't know who the other party was, nor how many people there were, but he just said it was no less than him.
At that time, the opponent defeated Casmonlia's army with a single charge.
At the critical moment, Marquis Burden decisively sent the armored knights that the Kingdom of Casmonlia was proud of.
But what shocked him was that his entire group of armored knights seemed to have crashed into a granite mountain. Without even a wave of water rising, they were surrounded and drowned by the opponent's infantry.
The heavy armored cavalry that lost their impact were not even as good as militiamen. The infantry could easily dismount them from their horses and watch them struggle on the ground like turtles with their lids turned upside down.
After seeing the entire army of the most elite armored knights annihilated, Marquis Burden fled decisively without even a trace of hesitation. The reason why he was able to dominate the battlefield for decades was that the magical skill of oiling the soles of his feet was crucial.
At that time, the battlefield was in such chaos, and it was night, and there were Casmonian people everywhere who were busy escaping. As a result, the enemy had no time to find the location of the commander of Casmonian.
Bolden was lucky enough to get a chance to escape.
However, when Marquis Burden ran wildly all night and fled to the rear, there were only more than eighty people left.
At its peak, there were 20,000 Casmonlia peacekeeping troops, and the entire army was truly wiped out.
It is said that Marquis Burden was in tears at that time. If he didn't think it was too painful to cut his neck, he would have drawn his sword and committed suicide.
Of course, the news of the defeat could not be concealed, and it caused an uproar when it was reported back to the United Nations.
The staff of the staff rehearsed the situation on the sand table based on the battle report, and unanimously concluded that either Burden was lying, or his estimate of Leiria's intelligence was wrong.
De Rossi still has at least 50,000 available troops.
According to deductions, even the elite legions of the Ruman Empire, under the same circumstances, would need twice as many men as the opponent to defeat Casmonlia's army with one charge.
The staff did not expect that Burden's men were not 10,000, but 20,000.
Even if you win, you'd be embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing, let alone if you lose.
No matter how stupid Marquis Burden is, he will not reveal this secret with shame.
Even Leo couldn't help but laugh at Casmonlia's stubborn slate. He sneered at them: "What era has it been? We still have heavy armored cavalry? Only those fools from the Principality of Ripoll would choose to fight against heavy cavalry."
.
Do they think it was still six hundred years ago?"
In this era where the military is becoming more and more professional, the living space of heavy cavalry is getting smaller and smaller. At the same time, the high cost and difficulty of training are not proportional to their combat effectiveness.
Only small and medium-sized countries would choose such flashy professional knights.
First, the bright armor can scare those illiterate people.
Secondly, monopoly and high costs make it impossible for ordinary people to join the army. In this way, the nobles can firmly control the military power in their own hands.
Third, save your life. After all, compared to the armor of ordinary soldiers, the defensive power of heavy armor is much higher. If you hide in it, you will not be easily killed.
Leo also gritted his teeth while looking at the battle report. You must know that the Flying Eagle Company has contracted all the projects in the Kingdom of Leiria. The day this battle ends, the day it will be late for him to make money.
Just calculating these losses and the interest accrued due to the losses made Mr. Lei feel a little painful.
But then he rolled his eyes, suddenly slapped the table and laughed, saying: "This De Rossi is quite lucky. Every time I think he is going to be unlucky, he always turns the tables."
Lorraine couldn't help but burst into laughter. De Rossi succeeded in the coup and usurped the throne, which made Belen and the professional intelligence analysts of the venture capital company very embarrassed.
Until now, they are still studying how De Rossi fought back and won in one fell swoop.
"I think this guy is a character," Chairman Leo said with a smile, holding his belly with both hands, "I'm afraid these amateur hooligans can't kill him. Boss, do you want to go into battle yourself?
If De Rossi continues to be so arrogant, it will harm your reputation, boss."
Lorraine shook her head decisively and said: "I'm not interested. It will only take three months to teach them to turn right. Leading this idiot will only lower our IQ and level.
If you really want to kill De Rossi, one regiment of security forces is enough. But we are eye-catching enough and we can’t bring any more hatred to ourselves.”
"That's right, if nothing else, Russell's old immortal eye is still staring at us." Chairman Leo nodded seasonedly, and then let out a long sigh and said: "Oh, it's a pity, Leiria
If we don't recover for a day, our group's contract will not be fulfilled, and every minute will cost money."
Although this kind of reputation for interfering in other countries is very popular, if it is not done in the name of the United Nations, it will arouse strong indignation from the international community. What's more, Lorraine is currently hiding its capabilities and biding its time, so naturally it is not willing to take this risk.
"I told you two, stop discussing international affairs all day long and come out to eat watermelon. It's chilled." Adelin knocked on the door twice, shook her head and signaled to the two of them: "We are here
Bet on how many Xiaobai can eat, do you want to participate?"
"Yes," Leo jumped down from the chair and rushed out the door happily, shouting: "Wait for me, make a bet or something. I like it best."
Lorraine picked up the battle report and threw it into the trash can, clapped his hands and said, "Let the headache go."
In the Maple Leaf Forest, unlike Nai'an's relaxed atmosphere, the atmosphere at the United Nations was very tense.
Lester was very angry at Casmonlia's defeat. This was simply a smear on the face of him, the president of the United Nations, and a slap in the face.
The majestic United Nations peacekeeping force, an army of more than 200,000, was actually defeated by a small character like Leiria.
Grandma, even if she released 200,000 pigs, it would take so long to dig up the ground in Leiria.
What makes Chairman Lester even more irritated is that some people are already complaining about the United Nations' command capabilities and doubting whether they can win this battle.
A month has passed. The war against the barbarians in the north of the Ruman Empire has begun to conclude and withdraw. The United Nations, which brings together all the countries in the continent, cannot even take down a small Lyria that spans only 500 miles. It is still wandering near the border.
The only Casmonlia who penetrated deeply was wiped out cleanly.
How does the United Nations command and coordinate?
For Chairman Lester, it is okay to lose anything, but he cannot lose face.
In anger, Chairman Lester issued tough instructions.
If the peacekeeping force continues to procrastinate like this, His Excellency, the Forbidden Curse Magister, will raid the guy himself.
It would be easy for the Maple Leaf Danlin people to bulldoze Lyria as a single army.
But by that time, everyone who had eaten Leiria would have to spit it out, and everyone who had taken Leiria would have to return it to him.
These coalition forces just go back and forth wherever they come from, and don't even think about taking away a penny.
The ultimatum deadline is one month.
If Leiria is not captured after a month, everyone will get out and the United Nations will take over the place.
The old gangster spoke, and everyone had to carefully consider the consequences.
If it really develops to the point where the United Nations takes over, all their early investment will be in vain, and the leaders of the participating countries will not let them go.
The kings cannot resist the pressure of the United Nations, so it is okay to use their generals as scapegoats.
Especially the army that suddenly appeared in Leiria. They can annihilate Casmonlia today. They can annihilate Borina or Thalasa tomorrow.
Under crisis and pressure, the peacekeeping forces reluctantly united and spontaneously formed a coalition force with a number of 35,000 to 35,000, marching into Leiria step by step.
At this time, the intelligence and suggestions of the staff finally reached the attention of the generals.
The war finally began to gain momentum.
As the coalition forces advanced steadily, five days later, they had arrived a hundred kilometers away from Ryder City, the capital of Leiria.
At this time, Leiria's army changed its previous decline and relied on the passes to mount a fierce resistance in the city.
No one in the peacekeeping force was willing to bite such a hard nut. Although the war was progressing, it was progressing slowly. The peacekeeping force captured a pass in three days and a city in five days, slowly approaching Ryder.
Although Casmonlia withdrew from the coalition, the peacekeeping force still numbered 170,000 to 80,000 people. Under the absolute numerical advantage, Leiria retreated step by step.
In mid-August, when Sinavia's army attacked a pass outside Clyde City and appeared under Clyde City, the fighting suddenly became intense.
As if they had taken an aphrodisiac, the other troops changed their usual timidity and procrastination and rushed forward regardless of losses.
No one wants Ryder City’s advantages to be taken advantage of by a country.
Within a few days, hundreds of thousands of powerful troops surrounded Ryder City from all sides.
It was the hottest season of the year, and when everyone thought that the peacekeepers were going to storm Ryder City, capture Leiria and capture De Rossi in one go, the coalition forces stopped again under the city.
Because of the siege, the atmosphere in Ryder City was unprecedentedly tense.
Wartime controls were implemented in the city, with soldiers guarding every intersection. No one was allowed to go out at night, and anyone discovered would be arrested immediately.
The sound of drums and trumpets coming from outside the city can be clearly heard in the city, and a battle seems inevitable.
Even during the day, everyone will hide at home and dare not go out if it is not necessary.
The supply of materials in the city suddenly became tense, and the price of flour was as high as gold.
No matter how daring Julie was, she would not dare to take a step out of the room at this time. Everyone in the intelligence station was hiding in the basement. Only two agents who spoke Ryder dialect well went out from time to time to inquire about information.
This tense and depressing atmosphere made Julie very uneasy. Because she had nothing to do, she would often climb up to the attic and look at the street through the narrow window.
Now only soldiers were left on the streets, and from time to time a group of soldiers passed by escorting a cart.
A group of soldiers suddenly came out of the group. They drove two carts and turned into the alley.
Julie became nervous instantly.
I saw them parked in front of the first grain and oil store at the entrance of the alley, and violently banged on the door.
As soon as the store door opened a crack, the soldiers pushed hard and squeezed in. More than a dozen people rushed into the small store together.
Julie remembered that the shop owners were a couple with three small children, the youngest of whom could not walk yet.
A few minutes later, the soldiers took out bags full of grain from the store and threw them randomly on the cart.
Julie couldn't hear what they said. In the meantime, the owner of the grain and oil store surrounded the soldier, trying to stop the soldier from carrying his grain.
Several soldiers dragged him out of the crowd, pushed him to the ground, punched and kicked him, and then pushed the cart to the next house.
The boss's wife ran out of the room, picked up the fallen boss and walked back to the room.
This is the second door that these soldiers have kicked open.
Corbiers went up to the attic and took a look through the window.
"What are the soldiers doing?" Julie asked in confusion.
Corbiers sighed and said: "Collect food. The city is surrounded, and the army wants to collect food from the people.
It seems that De Rossi is ready to hold on, and the news must be spread tonight."
Julie said angrily: "How could they do this? This is robbery~!"
"That's how war is." Corbiers said calmly: "No one will be held accountable for any crimes committed on the battlefield. Let's go. It's time to go down. You have to hide."
"Me?" Julie said puzzledly: "Isn't it necessary?"
Cobiers smiled and shook his head, saying: "You are a girl, and you are also a well-known reporter in mainland China. You can't be too careful."
"Okay." Julie pouted dissatisfiedly and reluctantly agreed.
Following Corbiers into the basement, the agent removed a few stones on the ground and pulled back the wooden board to reveal a narrow hole. Then he extended his hand to Julie like a gentleman and said with a smile: "Ladies first."
Julie curled her lips and went down the ladder into the hole, and then several agents hid in.
The cave is small and stuffy, so it’s no wonder Julie doesn’t like it. Especially in summer, sweat quickly soaks through her clothes.
After staying up for who knows how long, Julie suddenly heard the sound of someone talking above her head.
A few soldiers made a loud noise and then moved out with the things in the basement.
When the footsteps disappeared, Julie couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "The peacekeeping troops have been besieging the city for several days, why haven't they come in yet?"
Corbiers sneered and said: "Those guys won't do anything without discussing how to divide the spoils, but I guess it's going to be soon. If you endure it for a few more days, you'll be free."
"Alas," Julie sighed and murmured: "I wonder what level my professional title will be after I return home..." (To be continued...)
