18th century total war

Chapter 436 The swan song of the elves
On the edge of the virgin forest, hundreds of cannon field guns with a diameter of 150 mm were neatly arranged. Boxes of ammunition boxes with special labels were opened, with rows of incendiary bombs inside.

In front of the artillery positions, there is a position composed of Panzergrenadier regiments.

The formation of the Panzergrenadier Regiment was naturally named by Emperor Li Wei himself. It is the "technical elite" carefully selected from the Imperial Guards.

All members are mechanized, including tanks, armored vehicles, infantry support, artillery, individual soldiers, Iron Fist rocket launchers.

It not only has the ability to rely on tanks as arrows to attack in plain areas, but also has the ability to attack cities in complex mountainous terrain.

It can be said to be an all-round military unit.

It is also the most elite unit of the North American Expeditionary Force, all deployed here to protect the artillery positions.

After an order was given, hundreds of 150mm caliber field guns roared, and rows and rows of incendiary bombs were projected into the primeval forest where the World Tree was located.

The virgin forest has tall trees, and the World Tree can hide itself in it, and the elves are natural jungle hunters. Entering the jungle and starting a war with the elves does not know how many lives will be taken, and the variables are too great.

Moreover, Li Wei has learned through Merlin that the heart of the World Tree is a treasure of heaven and earth and will not be easily burned by fire.

Even the World Tree itself is not afraid of Fanhuo.

Therefore, Levi does not have to worry about 'accidentally injuring' the World Tree itself when burning down the primitive jungle.

As for the life and death of elves, in front of immortality, Li Wei also ranked behind.

The edge of the primitive jungle was the first to cause a forest fire. The small number of night elf warriors responsible for reconnaissance inside were swallowed up by the sea of ​​​​fire without saying a word. The raging smoke covered the sky and the sun, and there was no need for the North American Expeditionary Force to carry out further incendiary bomb coverage.

The advance legion has been defeated, and the newly arrived second-line troops have to be arranged to maintain law and order in the American homeland, so most of the offensive this time are the Imperial Guards.

The reason why it is said to be the vast majority is because the "remnants" of the advance legion like Jack were incorporated and placed here for possible ground offensives.

Jack's estimation was correct. As a 'deserter' of the advance legion, he was not punished too harshly, but was only incorporated into a newly established temporary force - the Independent Pioneer Regiment.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this temporary establishment is specially used to gather the advance troops to escape and defeat them.

Jack encountered the same problem as Alexei's dead ghost. The matter of the advance legion obviously cannot be made public, even under the control of the public opinion of the Europa Empire, tens of thousands of friendly troops were used as bait to "kill" all at once. It is also enough to cause an earthquake in public sentiment.

Just the tens of thousands of relatives and family members of the army are enough to cause chaos.

Today's Europa Empire is completely peaceful and stable, and all walks of life are prosperous. Li Wei naturally does not want to raise a butcher's knife on the Europa Empire itself.

After all, a massacre can easily involve a large area. If you kill a person, that person’s relatives will harbor hatred. If you kill this person’s relatives, the relatives of this person’s relatives will harbor hatred...

Except for a few people, most people have their own network of relatives and friends. If you keep killing, unless you really create a piece of no-man's land, otherwise you will kill endlessly!
This kind of example has a clear negative example in history-the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The so-called prosperity of the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than rumors. Who has heard of the prosperity of rebellion every year?
Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there have never been any rebellions in the territory. The scales range from large to small. The big ones include the White Lotus Rebellion, the rebels who are active under the banner of the third prince Zhu, etc., and the small ones are from several remote areas. The thugs rebelled under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

So many people rebelled under the rule of the Qing court. To put it bluntly, it was not because there was not enough food, but because the Qing army killed people too hard.

The reason why the economy of the East Asian continent under the rule of the Qing court was completely overtaken by the Western world from the world's largest was because of this massacre policy.

Anyone who resisted was massacred, killing and killing. Although the rest were obedient citizens, the economy and production were almost destroyed.

If it were not supported by high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn imported from outside, the population of the Qing Dynasty would not be able to breed at all.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the dynasty with the most rebellions among the unified dynasties in East Asia since ancient times.

However, the Manchu Qing's knives were indeed sharp enough to suppress the San Francisco Uprising and the later Taiping Rebellion!
However, the fighting power of the Qing army has always been a mystery. The Qing Dynasty, which has repeatedly succeeded in internal suppression, always cedes land and pays compensation in foreign wars.

The real reason is that the Qing Dynasty's internal suppression was a war that was worse than anyone else's, while its external war was fought against a group of enemies that had already fully caught up with them. There would naturally be no suspense about the outcome. In the end, it was not even possible to live a small life. A small country with a good reputation can knock the Qing court to the ground and beat him up...

The current main goal of Emperor Li Wei has not been completed yet. There are wars to be fought outside. Even though the foreign visitors on the American continent have been almost wiped out, the foreign visitors on the Eurasian continent are booming.

The expansion of the Qing army controlled by the dwarf forces in the Southeast Asian peninsula was contained by the Russian expeditionary force, so there was no problem.

But Queen Lilith's army of undead is aiming at the kingdom of Geer to reduce the dimension, and the blood is flowing like a river!
The nomads in the north are about to be wiped out by the vampire's undead army!
The descendants of the Mongols are probably almost dead...

However, with the aim of 'purifying the world', Li Wei did not send any local troops to help Zhungeer, but only sold some N-handed equipment that had been eliminated long ago, which even the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force was unwilling to use. .

Thanks to the attributes of the undead army, the nomadic tribes united under the banner of ZGEQ did not fall apart. Under the crisis of death, all fools know that splitting is suicide!

And the kingdom of Tsarist Russia next door only accepts refugees and refuses to accept nomadic tribes and dignitaries!

The purpose of the Kingdom of Tsarist Russia in accepting refugees is to increase the number of serfs under its rule. Over the years, the Kingdom of Tsarist Russia has been conscientiously serving as the vanguard of the European Empire. There have been constant wars and small battles. The number of casualties, especially the loss of young people, is not a small number, so the absorption of refugees can be said to be All comers are welcome.

The women among the refugees can serve as the womb of Tsarist Russia, and the men among the refugees are the labor force, and they can also serve as a source of soldiers when the front line needs it.

The children among the refugees can be brainwashed into becoming Russians, while the elderly among the refugees can only be disappeared...

However, Li Wei did not pay attention to the war situation in Eurasia. Let alone the vassal of Zhungeer, even if the Kingdom of Tsarist Russia was destroyed, the Europa Empire could still defeat the Undead Corps with a heavy blow.

The fighting mode of the undead corps is similar to that of the three alien races on the American continent.

The air force of the Undead Corps is also composed of Gargoyles, which are weak and focus on close combat, and Frost Dragons, which are huge and strong in defense and can breathe from a distance.

However, the gargoyles and frost dragons of the Undead Corps are different from other basic undead units, and they cannot be replenished on the spot. They are all brought from the plane of Makabaka, and one dies one less.

Among them, the frost dragon cannot even regenerate, because the human dragon bones have become the collection of the Europa Empire. There are no dragons in this new world for the undead to hunt and transform.

Facing the Europa Empire, which is weak in individual strength but uses weapons and equipment to enhance its combat effectiveness, what the undead army can transform is only weak ordinary human soldiers. How can they fight against Li Wei?

In a new world without magical energy, even undead natural disasters cannot be released.

It can be said that this world is Levi's home field advantage.

It's a bit stupid for aliens from the Makabaka plane to invade this world.

The flames continue, and if the forest fire is blocked, artillery groups and even bomber groups will continue to deliver incendiary bombs.

Under such wretched tactics, the elves could no longer hold back.

They knew that if they continued to hide in the primeval forest, they would be burned alive sooner or later!

The Europa Empire has the ability to destroy the primeval forest, which is beyond the imagination of the elves.

Under the desperate counterattack of the World Tree, the elves and even the wood elves who were only responsible for production and labor took up their own bows and arrows and walked out of the forest.

The giant two-headed Chimera and Hippogryph knight rose again in the sky. The remaining giants on the top of the mountain did not dare to gather together, but scattered, and joined the dryads, night elf forest huntresses, ordinary wood elf archers, etc. Troops are organized into combat teams.

After so many battles with the North American Expeditionary Force, the elves had suffered enough from being swept away by a hail of bullets in group attacks, and naturally they did not dare to use the dense formation charge again.

However, the area around the primeval forest has been cleared away by the North American Expeditionary Force. As long as they come out, it is impossible for them to escape the eyes of the Europa Empire's reconnaissance plane.

A battle team led by a giant on the top of the mountain, not long after leaving the primeval forest, they heard humming in the sky.

A series of strange-looking aircraft suddenly dived almost vertically towards the giant on the top of the mountain, then dropped a high-yield bomb at close range on the top of the giant's head, and then suddenly pulled up and left.

This is a dive bomber named Stuka by Levi. There is only one production line in the Europa Empire, and the output is not high.

After all, the Europa Empire has no enemy naval units to deal with.

However, the dive bomber's precise hit rate makes the Stuka very effective when facing large targets.

This giant on the mountaintop had an arm blown off on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, another two Stukas swooped in. The super fast dive speed made the giant on the top of the mountain unable to react at all, and there were two roars from his body.

Not long after, this mountaintop giant with super defensive power was shattered under the close-range bombing bombing of multiple dive bombers.

The surrounding elves and other combat units were stunned and helpless in the face of this scene.

As soon as the remaining air units of the elves took off, they were bitten by a large number of air superiority fighters of the North American Expeditionary Force.

Rather than saying that this is the last resistance of the elves, it is better to say that it is the dying struggle of the elves.

World Tree also had no choice but to choose to do this. Let the elves walk out of the primeval forest to fight, it is better than being burned alive without seeing the enemy's face.

The elven warriors scattered to break through the siege, and soon encountered the imperial guards who were encircled and suppressed by a small group of troops.

It's just that the enemies encountered by the elves this time are all equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

Even Jack's independent vanguard battalion fought alongside an armored company of the Imperial Guard.

Large mountain giants and ancient war trees are often eliminated by dive bombers with precise bombing before encountering the ground troops of the North American Expeditionary Force. Although those elf combat units with small targets escaped by chance, they will soon be swarmed The North American Expeditionary Force ground forces devoured.

The absolute superiority in firepower made the elves' combat units pay a heavy price even if they wanted to kill a human soldier.

Jack had never fought such an easy battle, which also made him realize how big the gap was between the advance army he had stayed in and the imperial guards, the direct descendants of Emperor Li Wei.

The two sides are completely armies from two eras!
When the Imperial Guards fight, they often use tank guns, self-propelled artillery and even lightweight large-caliber mortars to beat the enemy over and over again before charging.

When encountering that kind of imperial guards fighting in clusters, they can even get the support of Katyusha cluster rockets!

Jack didn't know what a cluster rocket was, but he was lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes. When there was a strange howling sound, the night elf fighters who were rushing forward scattered on the opposite side were immediately covered by the flames of the explosion!

After the rocket bombs washed the ground, Jack's vanguard battalion did not encounter decent resistance at all, and there were charred corpses of elves all over the place!
Most of the battles that Jack encountered were over when the firepower covered them. Their main task when rushing forward was to clear the battlefield and find the elven prisoners who were still alive.

After this one-sided massacre lasted for more than a month, no elf warriors emerged from the primeval forest.

As a result, the cautious North American Expeditionary Force once again launched an incendiary attack on the virgin forest.

Eliminate all the remaining elven warriors inside who are trying to lurk and kill a few enemies before dying.

At the end of the fight, there were even groups of wood elves who had collapsed and surrendered voluntarily!

The new book "This Great Qing Dynasty Is Something Wrong" has been published. I hope all readers can come and support my new book, which has the same taste as the 18th century.

Introduction to the new book: Don't rush to surrender, pick up your knives and guns, in fact, I am easy to kill...

Li Changqing looked at the soldiers who were kneeling in front of him, crying and calling for allegiance to him, his face full of melancholy.

"Hey, without you blocking the sword, I have to find a new enemy, so troublesome..."

Li Changqing's mind flashed, thinking: Maybe, I can be a tyrant?
As a P club player who is responsible and advocates the iron fist of justice, is it not a routine operation to repeatedly brush the rebels?
