My Empire

"It's not a way to fight like this..." Wagron took the loss report in his hand, looked at Chris, who was coming all the way from the city of Serris, and said worriedly: "Our field troops, have eaten Not a small loss."

Two days have passed since the Battle of Maricha. Bourgeois telegraphed the news of their victory. The entire anti-aircraft artillery unit, plus the main infantry regiment, killed 192 people and wounded 33 people. 11 dragons.

This record is quite brilliant. Facts have proved that the dragon knight troops that the Holy Demon Empire came to participate in cannot directly shake the main force of Ailan Hill and the key defense cities that are tightly deployed.

However, the remaining dragon knight troops then attacked another garrison infantry regiment, and wiped out the two infantry battalions of this regiment at the cost of losing only two dragon knights and two dragons.

Counting the two battalions of the 16th Regiment, Ailan Hill's field troops have lost more than 2,400 people and 4 battalions have been wiped out, and even there are no wounded. This number is a bit overwhelming.

In the past, Allan Hill's victories were unscathed, or only a few soldiers were lost. Now this victory has completely changed its flavor. The war is not over yet, and the losses have already cost thousands.

If we count the losses in arms, it will be even more terrible: now more than 1,700 rifles have been lost, and the 75 infantry artillery equipped by the field artillery have also been destroyed. The loss is mainly concentrated in the garrison troops. There is no decent anti-aircraft firepower.

"Anti-aircraft artillery is still not enough..." Chris also had to sigh. He took the guards to the south to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dragon Knights of the Holy Demon Empire. Changed tactics.

Without being able to attack the big city, the opposing commander decisively began to attack Ailan Hill's field troops, causing Alan Hill's field troops to suffer huge losses. The war has now been quickly resolved, and has evolved into a guerrilla warfare that consumes each other.

"The loss of the Prairie Empire is greater than ours. They are generally responsible for searching for enemy troops in the wild, so the losses they provide are simply unreadable." Wagron pulled out another report and said embarrassingly. : "This time the commission we want to provide has almost doubled."

"About 7,000 prairie cavalry were slaughtered unharmed by the dragon knights. Compared with our garrison, the dragon knights seem to prefer to attack these prairie cavalry who have no ability to fight back." Wagron smiled bitterly.

He pointed to the number on the report and said: "Fight against our garrison regiment, they have to pick up one or two giant dragons to fight the prairie cavalry, and the other party does not need to pay any price."

"Obviously, they regard the cavalry of the steppe empire as ours. They are venting their hatred, they are just killing unilaterally." Chris looked at the loss report provided by the steppe empire and smiled bitterly.

This report was sent two days ago, and this number must be still rising. After all, the speed of the dragon is faster than that of the steppe cavalry. Can't run, can't fight. When facing the dragon knight, the cavalry who is known for their mobility is really helpless.

Now I can only expect that these dragon knights have exhausted their magic power to replenish, retreat by themselves, or accidentally hit the main force of Ailan Hill and send them to the head. But both of these situations will take time, and he can't be anxious now.

"According to the situation, Naaru City is definitely not dangerous. According to the information provided by the intelligence, the other side has only a few dragons left, and they will not risk attacking our big city easily." Wagron felt You can draw some from Naaru City

Unlike the modern air force, the use of the dragon force is more flexible. For example, the voyage of these giant dragons is unmatched by the modern air force: the modern air force relies on the airport, is limited by its own fuel, and can only fight within the combat radius.

But these dragon knights are not the same. As long as they slaughter villages or towns ruthlessly and feed their dragons with livestock or civilians, they can continue to fight and even go deep behind enemy lines.

Their landing can be independent of the airport, and their battery life can be supplemented behind enemy lines, which allows them to have an almost infinite combat radius: as long as they want, they can fight alone all the way to the city of Seris.

However, because Maricha hit a head and broke the blood, the possibility of the opponent driving straight to attack Seris was infinitely reduced.

"The Arrant Empire army going north seems to have slowed the speed of advancement. They should be waiting for the ground troops of the Holy Demon Empire...I'll go south as planned!" There is no good way for Chris to use the magical dragon knight. .

The opponent just looted the village and slaughtered the civilians. Attacking the second-line garrison of Ailan Hill, which has no air defense capabilities, Chris has no good way to rely on his infantry to chase the dragon knights, unless his mind is flooded.

The only thing I can do now is to go south to find the Arrant Empire forces that cannot escape with the anger of being harassed by the dragon knight. As long as this army of the Arrant Empire northward is eliminated, those dragon knights will have no foundation.

"You continue to guard at Naaru, no matter what, there is absolutely nothing to lose on Naaru's side." Chris looked at Wagron and ordered.

Wagron is the one who knows modern warfare best besides him in the military now. Chris put some theories of World War I and World War II into the magic ball of knowledge and poured it into Wagron's brain. Combining his experience in battlefield commanding, he is now a better battlefield commander than Chris.

Of course, when it comes to knowledge of future weapons, Wagron knows nothing again. Chris gave himself a hand in command ability, but also because of the storage limit of the Magic Ball of Knowledge.

He couldn't put all the complex war command skills into the magic ball of knowledge, after all, modern warfare is a system with very large content. Chris doesn't have so many magic **** of knowledge now, come to splurge on one of his men.

"Your Majesty, it's better to change me to the front line..." Wagron suggested. He knew that the wild was more dangerous now. Those dragon knights didn't have the guts to attack the city and attack the field troops. It was still very possible.

"No need! The anti-aircraft guns I took away, although not as many as those on the walls of Naaru, are not a small number! My regiment has strengthened anti-aircraft guns, and the troops led by General Wilkes also have a sufficient number of anti-aircraft guns. Counting the strengthening of the garrison... 22 anti-aircraft guns are definitely enough for those dragons to drink a pot." Chris is confident of his defense.

If the opponent's dragon knight really can't think of going to force his main force, then it is possible to solve these raging dragon knight forces once and for all. It's not that they will come, but that they won't be fooled and won't come to trouble the main guards.

"With Wilkes following, the minister is relieved." Wagron felt that Wilkes was also a very good general, at least able to distinguish the importance at critical moments and protect Chris from retreating.

In addition, the 3rd Division of the Reserve Team led by Wilkes, with 3 regiments, plus Chris's Guards regiment, has 4 regiments with more than 9,000 soldiers. In order to defeat the nearly ten thousand army of Ailan Hill, it is estimated that several dragon knights do not have this strength.

Judging from the report of the field garrison, as long as they shrink their forces and concentrate their forces, the dragon knights are reluctant to fight head-on. Huge losses occurred in the dispersed state, which is one reason why no more losses occurred in these two days.

"Combining the local garrison, we can assemble an army of at least 12,000. This number is quite safe. There are almost 120 field guns and more than 20 anti-aircraft guns..." Chris calculated the strength of his own hand. Said to Wagron: "Facing the Arante Empire, the odds of winning are still quite large."

"I'm afraid that this time the army of the Arrant Empire northward has ground troops of the Holy Demon Empire... If there are magicians, or warcraft cavalry, it may not be very smooth..." Wagron said.

"Judging from the trouble caused by the Dragon Knights, the troops of the Holy Demon Empire are not simple." Because the dragon knights have caused a lot of trouble for him, Wagron worried that the ground troops of the Holy Demon Empire will also cause Chris. unnecessary trouble.

"I will park the troops on the side of Marissa, the Arante Empire is definitely going to attack Marissa, so we just need to wait here." Chris said with a smile.

His plan was to wait for the opponent to start before Marica. As long as the opponent attacked the city wall, he would approach the battlefield from the flanks, flanking the attacking Arrant Empire troops, and wipe out all the Arrant troops.

This is a very complete combat plan. In order to wipe out the main force of the Atlant Empire, he assembled 3 main regiments, 5 nearby garrison regiments, two garrison regiments with heavy losses, a total of 10 regiments (owed by The annihilated 4 battalions).

All add up to more than 20,000 Ailan Hill grenadiers, more than 180 field guns, and the city as a backing, so the force is very strong. And what they were facing were the elite troops of the Arrant Empire with more than 150,000 and the reinforcement of the ground troops of the Holy Demon Empire with an unknown number.

On the paper, the strength of the two forces is very different, but the combat effectiveness can be said to be half a catastrophe: the Arante Empire has a quantitative advantage, but their combat effectiveness is really limited. Ailan Hill's troops are strong in combat power, but for a while, it is impossible to judge how strong the ground troops of the Holy Demon Empire are.
