The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 1145, race against time

PS: I'm a little late today, so don't worry.

In the Old World, in October 2521 of the Imperial Calendar, the Brittanian army led by Marshals Kalad and Rokossovsky arrived at Erengrad.

In order to ensure the strength of this army and taking into account Kislev's environment, Ryan ordered an entire group of ice witches (50 people) came to assist Kalad and his army.

In Ehrengrad, Kalad, Rokossovsky, Theresa, Beria and others were entertained by the Grand Duke of Ehrengrad, Vladimir Vladimirovich, and learned from the Grand Duke that , Marshal Lawn of the Northern Army has led as many troops as possible to Prague to defend.

"How many troops are there in Erengrad?" Kalad frowned upon seeing this. He and Rokossovsky looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"There are only 5,000 defenders in Erengrad, and His Excellency Duke Lawn has taken away almost every sword in the entire city." Grand Duke Vladimir of Erengrad replied: "Currently, Grovo in the north De Forest is still under our control, and sentries report that Chaos armies are still engaged in large-scale battles with greenskins in the troll country."

"I know." Kalad then asked: "How many enemies are there?"

Soon, Kalad learned of the size of the Chaos army.

The Chaos army that besieged Plagg probably consisted of the following legions:

Veliki - The Cursed Legion of the Cursed, approximately 35,000 people.

The troll army of Troll King Throlonga has about 28,000 people.

The Norse Legion of Sulsa-Renk, approximately 15,000 men.

Elflik-Kinewov's Kurgan Army, approximately 14,000 men.

The Beastman Auxiliary Army has about 10,000-20,000 people (no exact number).

And the Undefeated Legion led by Abar the Undefeated, the champion of Khorne who had just crossed the mountain pass, numbered about 24,000 people.

The current combat capabilities of the Alliance of Order are as follows:

Marshal Laune's Brittany Northern Army, approximately 12,000 men.

Kislev local army, about 15,000 people.

The Brittanian Continental Army led by Callard and Rokossovsky consisted of approximately 20,000 men (including a company of the Old Guards of Callard and fifteen Holy Grail Knights that Ryan personally sent to Callard).

The army of the Imperial Osterland and Ostermark consists of about 8,000 people.

As well as about 4,000 mercenaries and self-defense forces from all over the old world, including the southern kingdom, who set out independently and brought their own dry food.

In other words, the total size of the Chaos Army is more than 120,000 people, and no matter how hard it is here in Kalad, there are less than 60,000 people who can participate in this war.

At the same time, Kalad also knew that in addition to the elite Britannian Continental Army led by him, some parts of the Alliance of Order were as reliable as the Brittanian Continental Army, such as Raun's Northern Army, and the two northern provinces of the empire. ’s army, as well as Erengrad’s field army.

However, the combat effectiveness of some armed forces is questionable, such as the mercenaries of the Southern Kingdom and soldiers temporarily recruited from the local army of Kislev. These soldiers either lack experience, are not well prepared for the battle they are about to face, or are unwilling to During the war, all he wanted to do was escape south.

What's even worse is the weather.

The weather was not as icy and snowy as Kislev expected on weekdays. On the contrary, it was already October, and the entire Kislev was still experiencing above-zero temperatures and a very dry climate. The autumn sun enveloped the base. There is no sign of snow or cooling at all in the land of Slev.

This allowed the armies of Chaos to advance with impunity, and Kislev lost the winter barrier she relied on most.

After arriving with his army, Kalad did not dare to neglect and immediately marched along the Linsk River towards Prag.

Along the way, bad news came one after another. Intelligence showed that troops were constantly crossing the mountain passes. At the same time, Archaon, the new Eternal Chosen God of Chaos, seemed to have gathered an army of more than half a million people, but something strange happened. Unfortunately, Archaon ordered the army to stay in the Chaos Wasteland, just ignoring some of the tribe chiefs or Chaos Champions who couldn't stand it and went south first, while he sat firmly on the Brass Throne.

Unlike Mortkin, Archaon seemed in no hurry.

But Callard was in a hurry. The world-famous Britannian marshal knew that he had to race against time.

At this time, Teresa, the holy sorceress who accompanied the army, played a vital role. When Kalad and others were eager to break the siege of Plagg, Teresa completed several major diplomatic achievements.

The sorceress of the Holy Domain first convinced the dwarves of Dulong City. The dwarf army of Dulong City, Tolgard-Crimson, sent a 4,000-man dwarf army to Erengrad and then moved upstream along the Linsk River. A logistics stronghold has been established in the middle of Lage and Erengrad. The dwarves of Dulong City will guarantee it with their lives. Before Raun and Kalad successfully retreat, this stronghold will always exist unless all the dwarves die in battle.

Then, Teresa's letter quickly arrived in the Empire's Hawk Territory and Nord Territory. These two imperial provinces successively stated that their reinforcements would arrive in the near future.

Finally and most importantly, Teresa found the Imperial Griffin Duke Ivan Ferdinand. The sincere letter and summons from the Holy Sorceress arrived at Ivan's desk. After receiving the letter, Ryan's godfather personally led the lion The Knights of the Eagle set out to head to Ostermark.

Even though it was clear to everyone that Theresa was using Ryan's face and borrowing his prestige, this was still a great diplomatic achievement.

Finally, after two weeks of marching, the Continental Army successfully defeated the Chaos army outside Prague. Raun personally led the city's defenders out of the city and welcomed the Continental Army led by Kalad into the city.

By this time, 90% of Prague's residents had been relocated or retreated further south.

The conference hall within Plagg Castle.

"It's hard work coming all the way." Raun sat on the main seat. After staying in the Northland for several years, the Duke of Connet has become accustomed to the cold weather and special combat environment in Kislev. When he saw When Kalad and others arrived, Lawn couldn't help but grin: "Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, he reacted so quickly."

"Mr. Raun, your Majesty has always been concerned about your Northern Army." Kalad sat under Raun. Whether ranked according to the order of marshal or title, Kalad was undoubtedly under Raun. .

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be willing to let Ms. Theresa come with the army." Raun then greeted Theresa.

"This is your Majesty's order. All I have to do is execute it, and I am familiar with the environment in Kislev." Teresa also squeezed out a smile and said: "My witch group and I are under the control of the two marshals, please give the order Bar."

"Constantine, with you coming to help this time, we will definitely be able to give the Chaos army some pain." Raun then said to Rokossovsky.

"Dare you disobey me?" Luo Shuai also nodded.

After a few pleasantries, the marshals under Ryan were all practical men. Without much words, they immediately began to discuss how to fight next.

In fact, in terms of the style of commanding operations, the three marshals have different styles.

Raun commanded the army calmly, cautiously and conservatively but without lack of passion and enthusiasm in battle.

Kalad's commanding style is calm and full of enterprising spirit, which brings huge pressure like a mountain. His championship duel and personal bravery are among the best in the army.

Compared with the first two, Marshal Rokossovsky has an elegant and charming personality, but in military terms he is more aggressive, warlike, an opportunist and a meticulous military planner. .

"Pragg has been holding on for several months." Lawn pointed to the map: "Our army has fallen into an absolute disadvantage. Chaos armies are constantly emerging from the mountain passes and the Mourn Mountains. At present, the only way we can The choice is to retreat.”

Both Callard and Rokossovsky agreed with Lawn's view, but Callard frowned and stroked his beard and said: "Leon Cole, are you going to retreat without fighting?"

"Yes, we cannot tangle with the enemy." Raun continued to explain: "In fact, what our opponent and the main commander of Chaos, the Chosen of Tzeentch Velich-The Curse is best at is quick maneuvering, weaving and weaving. back."

"Quickly maneuver and weave around?" Rokossovsky looked at the army layout outside the city and couldn't help but said: "I think the enemy's layout looks more like a bulky beast."

"Because Velic has never commanded such a large army, the number of these Chaos armies is more than five times the size of the largest Chaos army he has ever commanded. In addition, the major legions and the Troll King do not obey orders very much. "Laun shook his head: "But this situation will change sooner or later."

"In that case, let's abandon the city!" Rokossovsky said directly. Luo Shuai put his hand hard on Prager: "But Chaos can't get any glory or supplies from Kislev. , we will destroy everything.”

"You mean, burn the city?"

"No, it's not burning the city, it's a fire." Luo Shuai said confidently: "A fire that caused Velic to lose his position as commander of the army."

"Your Excellency Lawn, Mr. Kalad, and Ms. Theresa, let's do this." Rokossovsky pointed his finger and drew a circle around Prager: "It's just this time, we have to take some risks. It’s risky.”

…………I am the dividing line to take some risks…………

Three days later, the Chosen of Tzeentch Velich-The Cursed led his legion into Prague with great pride. Surprisingly, he originally thought that the arrival of the Brittanian Continental Army would change the war. It took a long time and was difficult, but it seemed that it was the blessing of the magic bird god. Not only did the defending army quickly collapse under his offensive, but they also soon decided to abandon Prague and retreat westward.

Vilic strode into Prague's city. He learned that several other Chaos Legions, Barbarian Legions and Beastmen Auxiliary Army had all been defeated in the battle. He was the only one who successfully entered Prague. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he sent The man hurried to the Chaos Wasteland to announce the good news to Archaon, the Eternal Chosen One, and take credit. On the other hand, he planned to sacrifice Plagg to the demon bird god Tzeentch.

However, in the next 48 hours, a fire suddenly broke out in Prague. Grand Duke Feodor-Rostov Putin of Prague chose to stay in his own city. He and his cronies chose to burn the city. Not letting it fall into the hands of the Chaos Evil God.

The Chaos army suffered a lot of losses in the city-wide fire. Velich ordered to put out the fire and at the same time ordered the execution of all mortals he saw. This took 4 days. The fire destroyed two-thirds of the city and caused great damage to Vilic. Qi brought attrition of more than 4,000 people.

To make matters worse, this incident triggered a conflict between the Troll King Solonge and Velich. The Troll King believed that Tzeentch had chosen "unfair" and "despicable means" to seize the fruits of victory. Solonge Angrily, he led the troll army to leave and return to the troll kingdom, where he concentrated on establishing his own rule.

Marshal Rokossovsky's plan worked.

However, the situation of Kalad and Raun was also very bad. The 60,000 Human Order coalition forces were divided into several columns and left Prague. They moved slowly. Both Raun and Kalad were worried that if the command was not good, the entire army would be destroyed. Showing the trend of defeat, giving up Plagg without a fight would be extremely harmful to the morale of the human army. However, Wilich-The Curse is firmly behind the army. The Curse Army is only 500 meters away from the mainland army. distance.

Kalad made up his mind about this. He handed Teresa's witch group to Commander Lawn, and personally led 6,000 people as a rear guard to hinder Chaos' pursuit.

Not long after leaving Prague, Marshal Rokossovsky, who was responsible for retreating south to the city of Kislev, received bad news. Marshal Rokossovsky originally planned to lead 20,000 people to retreat to Kisler in the south. However, what is unexpected is that the undefeated army of Abar, the champion of Khorne, has circled to their south.

This was Vilic's plan. Luo Shuai's 20,000-man army fought with the Invincible Army in the small town of Chagwe. This very tragic battle ended with both sides losing nearly 5,000 people. Although Rokossovs Ki's efforts drove the undefeated Abal out of Chagwe, but the retreat south to the city of Kislev was interrupted, and Rokossovsky was forced to lead his army back to the main force of Laun.

In the mad rush, the human army soon fell into exhaustion and hunger.

Worse news was yet to come. Lawn quickly received intelligence that a greenskin army suddenly attacked their supply route. The army's supplies were suddenly cut off. Due to the lack of supplies, discipline first came from the mercenaries and Keiths of the Southern Kingdom. Loew's local militia began to disintegrate, and many wounded were ordered to be abandoned. Lawn personally executed some rebels and ordered that the wounded and sick were not to be abandoned.

Although the virtues of the knights were outstanding, this also caused the army's march to slow down further. The depleted human army was quickly overtaken by Wilich's army. The rearguard unit led by Kalad himself was once surrounded. Marshal Rokossovsky personally led the 1st Guards Lancers to launch a group charge to rescue Kalad's rearguard.

As soon as Velic's Legion of the Cursed was repulsed, bad news came one after another. The Invincible Abar's 20,000-strong Invincible Legion appeared only 30 kilometers away from Kalad and were coming at a high speed.

The 14,000-strong Norscan Army in Sulsa-Lenk also appeared north of the Linsk River, preparing to cross the river.

On the other side, Raun also received news that the Kurgan Army of about 13,000 people from Elflik-Kinevulf had defeated Erengrad in the town of Vitebsk, about 40 kilometers ahead of the human army's planned retreat to the west. General Georgi's troops, with only 3,000 men under Georgi's command, were unable to withstand the onslaught of the Kurgan Army.

News came from the Empire that the Chaos army at the Brass Fortress in the Central Mountains, led by the Reaper Varnir, was dispatched and blocked the reinforcements from the Nordland. Elector Theodorik Geisel was unable to defeat the Reaper. The two sides reached a stalemate.

A series of news made Raun almost despair. The fall of Vitebsk meant that the retreat to Oerengrad was being closed.

In this way, there is interception in front and pursuit behind.

The human army in Kislev seems to be in dire straits.
