Before Downton finished speaking, the proud mayor walked quickly into the door like a loyal dog.∈↗Dian Dian Novel,
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Maldini smiled flatteringly.
Snapped!
Downton grabbed the ink bottle, raised his hand and smashed it on the mayor's nose, causing a splash all over his face. Ink and nosebleeds flowed down.
Maldini was blinded. He knew that flattering was hitting the horse's leg, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Please work with your heart and stop using small tricks. In two days, if I don't see the army gathering, I will hang you under the street lamp!"
Downton shouted loudly, "Get out!"
Everyone in the room retreated in cold sweat.
He took charge of an army of millions, wiped out wealthy families, massacred royal families, and caused countless bloody storms. The lives on Downton's hands were countless. Tempered by this kind of iron and blood, a temperament called a tyrant emerged. Rapid development.
Two days later, the Roman legions were assembled and set off towards the city of Milan.
"I will lead the light cavalry regiment and rush to the front line as quickly as possible. You don't have to worry."
Downton stroked Sissi's hair and whispered comfort.
"I must come back, father, I'm begging you."
Sissi hugged Downton hard. She also wanted to go, but Rome had decided that a big shot must be in charge, otherwise there would be chaos behind, and it would be all over.
"Well, wait for my triumphant return!"
After the hug, Downton got on his horse and galloped away without looking back.
The guards followed closely behind.
Sissi clutched her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying, but she was worried that the two closest men in her life were both on the battlefield. How could she feel at ease?
On the Corsican plains, the cold wind howled like a wolf.
Downton led 50,000 light cavalry to advance forward day and night, but in the end he was a step too late. He encountered the first wave of defeated troops in Bogna.
"We are defeated, the city is broken, and your majesty is dead!"
The captured Qianren leader looked completely broken, and he shouted out these heartbreaking words that were enough to shock the world.
"Hang him for disrupting the morale of the army!" Downton roared, "The whole army speeds up and advances!"
"Downton, calm down and think about the overall situation!"
Homer reminds.
There are more and more broken troops. They are like rabbits being chased by wolves, running desperately on the plains. The spirit of these people has been knocked out. Even if they are gathered together, they are still a bunch of waste.
At dusk, Downton received the latest battle report.
The Governor of Milan was greedy for power and advanced rashly. He was killed by the Shadow of Lorraine, and the Milan Army was defeated. Half a million elite soldiers were killed or injured, and the city of Milan was later besieged.
The Shadow of Lorraine poured a large amount of demon potion into the underground water source. As a result, the citizens and soldiers in the city immediately turned into demons after drinking it. These irrational monsters began to kill and massacre other lives. Amid internal and external troubles, the city of Milan was destroyed.
This was the first time in the history of Lombardy. It was a huge shame. Cimmerian II felt that he did not have the face to meet the previous kings, so he cut off his queen to buy time for the remaining people to escape.
In the end, the second generation and the city of Milan share the throne!
crunch
Downton clutched the battle report. His face was ashen as hell, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't be angry. The right way is to think of a follow-up plan quickly, otherwise Lorraine will call you."
Homer urged.
"Send the order, go to Modena, let the Roman troops assemble on the front line of Montier, Piacenza, and Verona to build defenses!"
Fortunately, Downton had considered this issue in advance, so he was able to deal with it with ease now.
The situation of the war took a sudden turn.
Downton wanted to fly back to Rome to comfort Sissi, but he couldn't. He was now Lombardi's only support and hope.
King Cimmerian died in the battle, which was the biggest defeat suffered by the Western-Turkish camp since the Holy War, and the death of the supreme commander.
All war zones that received this news lost their voices and felt great despair.
The fall of the city of Milan also marked that most of the land in Lombardy was occupied by the evil army. You must know that this is the logistics and troop base of the Western and Turkish camp.
Well, even if each theater can be self-sufficient, the loss of the Eastern Theater will mean that both the southern and northern theaters must adjust their deployment of combat forces, and there will be more and longer fronts that need to be defended.
The Eastern Theater Zone has never been occupied, which also prevents neighboring countries from building defensive facilities. Therefore, if you want to block the front of the Evil God Army, you can only rely on the lives of soldiers to fill it.
The only reassuring news may be that Downton has arrived, but some people are pessimistic. They say that Lorraine is a copy of the Holy Coffin, but her excellent military talents have already been used in the war to destroy the city of Milan.
Fully present.
There is another point of concern, that is, in the battle to annihilate the Milan Legion, Lorraine used the Mechanical Golem Legion, and the effect was extremely good.
Many people have not forgotten that this idea of a military unit was first proposed by Downton, and it has become very popular in the heroic secret realm of Great Britain.
"Being defeated by the army conceived by my son-in-law, I don't know whether the second generation will be happy or depressed in the end?"
Everyone has different thoughts, but the Eastern Front has suddenly become the most eye-catching battlefield. Any general who changes will take advantage of the victory to expand the results, so there must be a fight between Downton and the Shadow of the Saint.
Contest.
The current military situation is that Downton has the Roman Legion, which is its trump card, with a strength of 600,000, and various miscellaneous forces, plus the integration of broken troops, it can make up 1.2 million, but these soldiers are all deployed in
A long line of defense.
Luo Lin's Shadow, also known as Commander Luo Ying for short, his troops are mainly composed of Maki Demons, who are Western natives who believe in evil gods after being corroded by evil energy.
The characteristics of these people are purple pupils, natural evil demon patterns on their bodies, and their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary humans. As for their fighting methods, there is not much difference.
Luoying has a total of six corps, with a total of three million soldiers, auxiliary troops and reserve troops.
Almost no one is optimistic about Downton. Lombardy is a large plain, otherwise it would not become a grain-producing area. However, at the same time, this kind of terrain is also very suitable for large regiments to fight, and the advantage of military strength can be perfectly utilized.
Standing on the city wall of Modena, Downton held a telescope and watched the battle between scouts from both sides on the plain. Behind him were a group of generals.
"The Green Sun Army is advancing so fast!"
Some generals lamented that this was Luo Ying's vanguard regiment, which was mainly composed of cavalry and numbered 300,000. When they attacked, it was like a torrent.
Soon, Shuai Qi appeared in everyone's sight.
There was no confrontation or formation. Half an hour later, the cavalry began to divide into several waves, bypassing the city of Modena and making surprise attacks on all sides.
"Damn, these guys are so arrogant."
The generals were furious. If the Modena and Roman armies attacked these cavalry, they could crush them. However, the current situation is that the enemy wants to cut off Modena's reinforcements, and then wait for the arrival of the army to encircle and kill them.
"There is no way, the strength advantage of Zhen Xi Mo is too great. Your Highness, I suggest that we retreat immediately and use the city of Rome as the core to build a defensive line to resist the evil army."
A mature and prudent general spoke, and many people nodded. They were not afraid of death, but they were just standing here. They would be defeated one by one, so it was better to concentrate their limited forces.
“What about those citizens?”
Some soft-hearted generals questioned that with the speed of the Green Sun Cavalry, those civilians would only die. If they were protected, they would be caught in a fight. If they were overtaken by the enemy army again...
The group of people returned to the command room worriedly.
"What do you think? Tell me what you think?"
Downton asked his staff to hang up the map, and based on the scout's report, he laid out the location map of the current large army.
After the initial unfamiliarity, the generals began to express their opinions. These warm-blooded noble generals originally sacrificed their lives for the country and the people.
Downton was very pleased that these nobles had not forgotten their glory.
"very good."
Downton applauded, "Next, I will arrange your appointment, General Edley, you will be stationed in Modena. No matter what happens, the city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead. Without my order, you are not allowed to take a step back, otherwise
, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
"As you command!"
Adele saluted, with a tough look on his face and a strong sense of ambition. He was a frustrated middle-aged man whose ability was beyond doubt.
Through Odin's Eye and the intelligence obtained by Sissi, Downton already has a detailed understanding of these generals, otherwise he would not be able to select suitable candidates and entrust them with important tasks.
"Virati, Paro, Motta, I want you to lead your troops out of the city and distribute them in these places. You are not seeking to annihilate the enemy, but you must delay as much as possible to harass the enemy and slow down their pace!"
Every time Downton clicks on the map with his pointer, there will be a staff mark.
The generals listened attentively. This was the strategy of the number one general in the north. Compared with the stubborn old people, these young and middle-aged people admired Downton more.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask now!”
Downton's voice was clear and clear.
"Your Highness, I basically understand your tactical thinking, which is to use mixed forces to divide and delay the enemy, and then concentrate superior forces to defeat the enemy one by one."
As expected, Edley said, "But where is your main force? If you cannot defeat the enemy, then this tactic will not work."
The other generals also nodded frequently. They knew that the troops Downton brought were a Dark Ranger Cavalry Regiment of 3,000 men, a Goblin Corps of several hundred men, and a Barbarian Corps of 1,000 men. The remaining troops were only 10,000.
The mechanical golem of Zun.
In the previous deployment, Downton had already sent out all Modena's regiments, obviously relying on the Drankfurt Corps to defeat the enemy.
Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the golem, the number of other arms is also too small. You must know that the enemies Downton faces will be at least 30,000 to 40,000.
If Downton was leading the Immortal Abomination Corps, everyone would still have some confidence. After all, it was the most famous unit under his command.
"enough."
Downton's expression was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, almost freezing everything, "Didn't Luo Ying take out the mechanical golem? I will let her know who is the ancestor of mechanized troops!" (To be continued.)
