18th century total war

Chapter 171: Escaped Spain (Fourth update added for 200 monthly tickets)

In the middle of 1794, hundreds of thousands of Revolutionary Army for National Salvation, who had completed basic military training, divided into three groups and marched towards the occupied area of ​​the Kingdom of New France.

At the same time, the main force of the Black Dragon Legion, which had completed the gathering of troops and the deployment of supplies, launched a fierce attack on the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

In just three days after the offensive broke out, a huge hole was torn open in the well-prepared defense line of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army. More than [-] National Salvation Revolutionary Army soldiers were made dumplings. After being surrounded, they all surrendered in less than a week. .

Unfortunately, for this hearty victory, because too many of the main forces of the Black Dragon Legion were invested, Li Wei only received a small victory rating and received 1 point of glory...

If not for the final encirclement and annihilation of all enemy forces, this battle would not even have met the campaign evaluation standards of the Total War system.

Among the [-] captured enemy troops, they included the thousands of troops who had previously beaten the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal.

The battle ended so quickly and the huge gap in combat power between the two sides shocked the entire France and even the governments of the anti-French alliance.

Back and forth, more than [-] National Salvation Revolutionary Army were beaten by the main force of the Black Dragon Army and lost their organizational structure!
Most of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army in the Languedoc-Roussillon region was emptied.

The remaining National Salvation Revolutionary Army could only start a strategic retreat to prevent being overtaken by the Black Dragon Legion.

However, when the main force of the Black Dragon Legion occupies most of the cities in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, they have been confronting the border and continuously replenishing their troops. The Royal Spanish Army, which has a scale of more than 5 people, did not notify Li Wei. Next, marched mightily into the Eastern Pyrenees province of France.

There is no longer a National Salvation Revolutionary Army there, so the morale of the Spanish Army has recovered well this time!

As for the Portuguese sightseeing company, it did not participate this time for some reason. The Kingdom of Portugal took back this company, and only the Spanish Army participated in the entire military operation.

The behavior of the more than 5 Spanish troops was completely beyond Li Wei's expectations. He did not expect that the Spaniards, who had been beaten up by the National Salvation Revolutionary Army before, would dare to send troops to snatch the fruits of victory.

Or the fruit that has been swallowed by the Black Dragon Legion!
Unexpectedly, Li Wei and the supreme commander of the main force of the Black Dragon Legion, Carl, naturally did not deploy many troops on the border of the Eastern Pyrenees Province. Only more than 1000 people were stationed in Pepi, the capital city of the Eastern Pyrenees Province. Niang.

As a result, more than 5 Spanish troops rushed into the almost undefended Eastern Pyrenees province and headed straight for the provincial capital city of Perpignan.

This is the first time that the Spanish Army has officially stepped into the French border, and the whole army is filled with the joy of victory, even if they have not fired a single shot...

By the time Karl got the news, the Spanish Army of more than 5 people had surrounded the city of Perpignan and asked the Black Dragon Legion defenders inside to surrender!
As a last resort, Karl stopped the frontline offensive and mobilized troops to return to defense. At the same time, he sent people to inform Li Wei that the Kingdom of Spain was going to war without declaring it!

Li Wei, who got the news, just replied to Carl lightly.

Stop the attack on the south of France, leave some of the main force to deploy the defense line, and mobilize the remaining main force to go south to Madrid and send people to sue for peace!
This is really unbearable!

How dare the Spanish poop on Levi's head!
When this news spread within the anti-French alliance, the London government righteously condemned the Madrid government's unilateral military action and warned the Madrid government that all consequences would be at its own risk.

Prussia and Austria did not want to draw Livy's attention away at this time. They finally waited until Livy and the revolutionary government of Paris started a full-scale war. At this time, the Madrid government stepped in to pick the fruit. Many allies in the anti-French alliance no longer knew How to complain...

There are those like the London government who oppose the warning, and there are those like Prussia and Austria who do not make any comments and remain neutral. Naturally there are those who support the Madrid government's escaping behavior!

The representative country among them is the Kingdom of Sardinia, the eldest brother of many Italian states.

The government of the Kingdom of Sardinia even publicly declared that the Kingdom of Spain had achieved a great victory, and in public opinion directly blamed the Spanish Army for the results of the campaign of Livy's rebels...

Anyway, it's just a slogan, and it's a foreign matter. The Kingdom of Sardinia is obviously trying to win over the Kingdom of Spain.

They even signed a treaty privately with the Madrid government, saying that they would jointly carve up the southern and eastern parts of France!
This guy has a jaw-dropping appetite!

Of course, this is a secret agreement, and the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Sardinia also know that releasing such terms is a slap in the face, and it can easily become the target of public criticism...

To put it bluntly, both sides are just taking precautions against the best future prospects based on geopolitics.

The Kingdom of Sardinia waited for the Spanish Army to achieve a few victories, and then took the opportunity to lead a group of Italian brothers again to continue the eastward invasion!
Dividing France is the highest dream of the royal family of the Kingdom of Sardinia!

France is currently in the midst of a civil war. Isn't this the best time?
If you miss this store, there will be no such door in the future!
Therefore, the current Kingdom of Sardinia is really a bit crazy.

Naturally, Li Wei did not know about the secret agreement between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Spain to carve up France, but it was hard for Li Wei not to know about the fact that the Kingdom of Sardinia openly and shamelessly supported the Kingdom of Spain!

It was at this moment that Livy decided to turn Italy into a colony in the future!
The external situation and their own reinforcements are still a mystery to the more than 1000 officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Army who were besieged in Perpignan at this time.

In fact, before the Spanish Army surrounded Perpignan, the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion stationed here had a chance to escape.

However, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion have been brainwashed to death. Their superiors asked them to garrison the city of Perpignan. How could they leave their posts without permission before receiving clear instructions?

The enemy is strong?

That's not a problem, they won't take a step back until they're all dead!
The man who leads this garrison is a very ordinary major in the Black Dragon Legion. He is the kind who has no brilliance in his mind except for fighting in a regular manner. His name is Stuart Gerald.

He was originally a Bavarian. After he was captured with Resarit, he completely 'forgot' his home when he entered the training camp. He devoted his allegiance to Li Wei and was very lucky to survive until now and become a Major!
Steert, who was hiding in a stone building, got out nimbly when he heard the sound of the guns outside stopped, and stood on a high place and raised his binoculars.

The sight was filled with Spanish line infantry in shit-yellow military uniforms!
