Chapter 560 The Holy Light Calendar 604 September
On September 7, 2004, the Holy Light, the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps in the Beibu Gulf Camp waving their flags, forming a mighty eight-person march, walking across the streets of Campestre, straight Go to the pier, and then board the long-awaited ocean-going transport ships one by one. Due to the large number of people, it was close to night when it was the turn of the Rock Legion to board the ship, so those Hicks agents lurking in the city did not find that the soldiers of the Rock Legion were not equipped with a new rifle, but a breech. Installation of a new flare gun ...
The Hicks agents didn't know that the unit holding the banner of the Rock Corps was only composed of four Hicks returning home divisions. Even if they were in the Dominion of Overseas, the agents were lurking, but because the two continents were too far away, The information transmitted over there was basically three months behind, and even the Hicks agents who lurked in Beibu Bay regarded the Hicks Hometown Division here as the Rock Corps and reported it.
It takes three days from Beibu Gulf to the Hicks Kingdom waters, but because of the need to transport two legions of men, they will basically not continue to sail at night, but instead find a place near the sea to form a large array of defense ships. After the night, set sail again, so as to avoid the enemy's sneak attack and damage during the night flight. So the voyage was delayed for five days, and senior officers of the Hicks Land Army estimated that the fleet of overseas dominion would arrive in the kingdom's waters on September 12.
Since both Minsleak and Tembak Island of the Hicks Kingdom have been taken over by overseas autonomy, it is clear that the enemy will definitely moor the fleet on these two offshore islands. The island of Minslake is relatively large, less than thirty miles from the coast of the Kingdom of Hicks. If the overseas dominions send two legions to Minslake, the target they chose to attack is likely to be Port Benguela or Afghanistan. Port of Rainers.
Because these two seaports are only one day away from Minslake Island, if the Iron Armored Fleet of the Overseas Autonomous Region can attack the defenses along the fortresses outside these two seaport cities, it will be very easy to clear the Thunder on Minslake Island. The Legion and the Rock Corps were transported ashore, attacking the quay and defensive positions in the town, gaining a foothold for their attack on the Hicks Kingdom.
Of course, Cembak Island cannot be ignored. This is the island closest to the coast of the Hicks Kingdom, or it can be said that it is just across the coast of Coona, and the distance is more than ten miles. . However, the Cohenna harbour is the territory that the Hicks Kingdom forcibly seized from the Bryot Kingdom. If the Dominion Territory chooses to land from here, it will be self-defeating, and all officers of the military headquarters in the Hicks Kingdom will be happy. Jumped up.
Quite simply, the seaport of Coona and the port of Patkara and the Manorian Plain are all land that the Hicks Kingdom captured from the Kingdom of Breot. The area of this coastal plain is as large as the three local counties. As soon as it faces the sea, it is surrounded by mountains, which belong to the mountains of the Kingdom of Breot.
If the Overseas Autonomous Region chooses to land at Coona Harbour, then as long as the Hicks Kingdom mobilizes troops to defend the mountain exit of Port Patkala, the landing Thunder and Rock Corps will be sealed off in this narrow plain. The Kingdom of Hicks can even mobilize the Mountain Legion of the Kingdom of Breaux to attack from the mountains to carry out raids and sneak attacks, and Avitele I should have taken as much arms aid supplies as McKid III ...
On the evening of September 8, the waters of the Kingdom of Menbamac.
After a daytime fleet of more than 300 ocean-cruising transport fleets moored, the fleet's formation was not an overnight defense formation, but a landed formation. The offshore waters here have been covered by countless empty wooden boxes, which have been paved with long boardwalks. More than a dozen offshore transport vessels were nailed by planks and connected to a floating dock at sea, which became the place where the transport fleet docked.
"Hurry up and concentrate!" A lieutenant officer with a beard yelled, directing the soldiers on the transport ship to climb down the rope net connected to the floating pier, and then assembled in a line on the pier, in the respective officers Led by the boardwalk to the shore.
On the deck of the Iron Armored Fleet, the Iron Armored Cruiser St. Hugh Linder, Fleet Admiral General Murray was sending off Claude and his party.
"The Kingdom of Hicks must have never imagined that his back door had been opened, and the Kingdom of Breaux had joined our array. I wish the boss would be unimpeded all the way this time to the city of King Hick King of Saint Hiprian." General Murray was a little lost. Although he became the leader of the navy in the autonomous command zone, it also lacked the glory of siege and destroying the country.
Standing next to Claude, General Belklin and General Diavid stepped forward and hugged General Merried. They were the vanguard and main force of the attack on King Hixian in St. Cyprien. Instead, Germany would stay behind to take control of the overall situation, coordinating the command of the three mountain corps of the Breot Kingdom to help the offensive.
"Okay, this surprise attack requires the strong cooperation of your armored fleet. Don't worry about your lack of credit." Claude patted General Murray's shoulder: "Can you hide the Hicks Kingdom and let them The troops are fully mobilized to the coast to see your performance. Don't let the Hicks discover the flaws. As long as we capture Wang Jing, the Hicks will be weak. "
Yes, the Kingdom of Hicks never dreamed that the Autonomous Territory would land in a valley along the coast of the Kingdom of Mambamac, and then rerouted the Kingdom of Breot to the heart of the Kingdom of Hicks from the east to the city of King Saint-Hiprian.
The current situation is that the Hicks Kingdom dispatched seven of the eight standing regiments to the coastal zone, and only one Iron Guard Corps was stationed in the city of Wangjing Saint-Hiprian. The strength of the rear and hinterland of the kingdom is very empty, and only local guards are stationed. In addition, the Kingdom of Hicks decided to recruit eight reserve troops in eight local counties in the southern coastal zone, while other local counties in the kingdom only need to transport various combat supplies to Wangjing Saint-Hiprian City. You have to wait for the two legions of the Autonomous Military Command to launch an attack and see the situation before making a decision ...
The sea where the transport fleet landed has been blocked, and even the valleys and roads along the Thunder Corps' shore have been closed by the aristocratic coalition forces occupying the Kingdom of Mombak. Claude exhausted his brain to plan the final battle of Hicks Kingdom. If it was not the surrender of the Kingdom of Breot, then the autonomous region would not have thought of this Hicks Kingdom Raiders plan that directly hits the tiger's hole.
All the transport ships carrying the Legion of Thunder and the soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division left the floating pier after landing on the officers and men of the ship, and then stood on the side of the ship. Looking from a distance, as if the ship was still full of soldiers. They also escorted to the Hicks Kingdom waters under the **** of the Iron Armored Fleet, and finally docked at Minsleake Island, pretending to be soldiers landing, in order to confuse the Hicks Kingdom.
This time, the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Region dispatched the Thunder Corps and the newly formed Storm Corps. There were also eight Hicks Returning Divisions. In addition, they had more than four legions. In addition, they were going to take a trip to the Hicks Kingdom while looting. A multi-armed noble coalition, and three standing mountain corps in the Kingdom of Breot, the total strength has exceeded the eight standing corps in the Kingdom of Hicks. Moreover, the Hicks Kingdom dispatched its troops to the coastal zone, which is equivalent to exposing the empty belly to the front of the Autonomous Region ...
On the afternoon of September 11, Claude arrived at the camp set up on the border between the Kingdom of Menbamac and the Kingdom of Breot. King Avitele I of the Kingdom of Breot took his beloved Prince Ixdo, and Colonel Bokal, Duke of the Red Dragon and Marquis of the Griffin welcomed Crowd at the gate of the camp. Because of confidentiality, no welcome ceremony was held.
First, Colonel Bokal introduced the current situation in the Hicks Kingdom. When hearing the unprepared situation of several Hicks Kingdom local counties adjacent to the Bryot Kingdom, everyone in the big account cracked and laughed. Up.
"The Hicks Kingdom has a total of 53 local counties and Wangjing regions, which are basically divided into the nine counties in the east, eight counties in the south, ten counties in the west, eleven counties in the north, and fifteen counties in the middle plus Wangjing region. The Kingdom of Otter to King Hicks, St. Hiprian, needs to pass through Cresti County, Tolstoy County, and Westerman County in the middle, and Lomavlin County to reach the Wangjing area. The raid takes seven days.
In addition, from the Wangjing area to the southern coastal zone, there are only three local counties, namely Dartmouth County, Reedlezshire, and Renworth Yorkshire. Now the Hicks Kingdom's standing corps are concentrated in the coastal zone, such as Rumwar Yorkshire, where the Solem standing corps is stationed, and Reedleshire is already calling for a reserve corps.
If the Thunder Legion raided Wang Jingsheng's Hiprian city, it would need to be undetected by the Hicks Kingdom during this seven-day itinerary, which is the biggest problem. Once the Hicks find a flaw, then Wang Jingli's garrison will be strengthened and the heavy soldiers in the south will be dispatched to the rescue. The Solem Standing Regiment in Rumwar Yorkshire can march to Wang Jing in three days, which will give Our surprise attack caused a lot of trouble ... "
Colonel Bokal pointed to the map of the Kingdom of Hicks and analyzed the information obtained from everyone in the camp. He disagreed with General Belklin's proposal to attack the king of Saint-Hiprian with a light cavalry. After all, the road is so long, no matter how fast the light cavalry can move, the news from the eagle in the sky is fast and fast.
It is also very difficult to conceal the whereabouts of the Thunder Corps. The national road leading to the Wangjing area is full of towns and cities, and there are many commercial vehicles on the road. It is impossible to make the trace of the march of the 90,000 troops disappear in front of everyone. Moreover, the Hicks Kingdom does not have such a large number of light cavalry units. Any Hicks local official who sees the Thunder Corps marching team will have suspicions. As soon as they cross-examine, the news is leaked.
"I received a letter from McKid III asking him to send two mountain legions to the defense of the southern coast of Hicks Kingdom. Maybe we can do something here and conceal it with reinforcements. Those towns along the way, to Wang Jing ... "said Avitre I.
Colonel Bokal shook his head: "Although His Majesty III will send reinforcements to them, he will send officials to monitor the two Breaux Legions instead of leaving you alone. He will even point at your legions. To gain command of the Legion so that you can be their cannon fodder at the front. "
Claude looked at the map and clicked Dartmouth County near Wangjing: "If a defensive line is set up in Dartmouth County, it will stand against Wang Jing from the Solem Standing Regiment stationed in Renworth Yorkshire. It took only three days for the rescue to take place, and we were able to capture the city of St. Hiprian. As long as Wang Jing had a look, then we would have enough troops to deal with the Hicks standing corps in the southern coastal areas, sweeping the Hicks Kingdom. ... "
Claude's plan was simple, letting Avitre I and McKid III bargain, and first send a Treot army group to the southern coast of the Hicks Kingdom to assist in defense. In this Breaux Army Corps, two divisions of the Thunder Corps were dressed as Breaux. After arriving in Dartmouth County, they controlled the Hicks officials who supervised the Corps and set up a line of defense on the spot.
And after the departure of the first Breaux Legion, they managed to leave a small team in each town along the way, to find out the details of the eagle homing pigeon communication office in these towns, and the rest of the second Breaut Legion and Thunder Legion. After the two teachers and men arrived, they immediately controlled these communication offices to prevent them from sending a warning message to Wang Jing. After the Thunder Corps and the subsequent Storm Corps arrived in the Wangjing area and besieged the city of St. Hipporian, there was no need to pretend.
When the Solem Standing Regiment stationed in Rumwar Yorkshire came to rescue Wang Jing, the Hicks Army was defeated or annihilated. Claude believed that two divisions of the Thunder Corps were more than enough to deal with a standing legion of the Hicks Kingdom. As for the Hicks standing army in other coastal areas, the travel time varies depending on the distance of the road. They must either stay in the area to prepare for the defense, or they have come to rescue Wang Jing to death.
On September 17th, after the four-day eagle eagle message from Avitele I and McKid III, the Kingdom of Hicks and Bryot finally reached an agreement, and Avitelle I will first send a Bryot legion Ride a carriage and other vehicles to the Wangjing area in fifteen days, rest for a day and receive a reward from McKid III, and then travel to the southern coastal area to coordinate defense with the Hicks Kingdom army.
Avitele I agreed that officials sent by McKid III would participate in the military meeting of the Breitel Army and had the right to direct and participate. At the same time, he asked McKid III to provide the logistics and material supplies needed for the two Breaux Legions to march along the way, and to provide communications and messaging for the Breaux Legions along the way. The Breaux Legion will leave a small group of troops in the towns along the way, serving as messengers for communication between the two legions.
Of course, Avitre I promised to send a second Breaut army to the southern coast to reinforce it within half a month after the departure of the first Breaut army. King Hicks III of the Hicks Kingdom was very happy for this, and even let the ministers watch the letter from Avitre I at the royal court. He was proud of his successful use of the two Legions of the Breot Kingdom as cannon fodder for the Hicks Kingdom.
On September 19, the first Mountain Corps of the Kingdom of Breot set foot on the territory of the Hicks Kingdom. Several Hicks officials commissioned by the Royal Court brought a large number of horse-drawn carriages raised locally to prepare to bring these. Breot soldiers were transported to Wangjing area. The Kingdom of Breot also mobilized a battalion of light cavalry, taking hundreds of horse-drawn carriages full of armaments and soldiers on the journey.
Claude stayed in the newly established camp on the border between the Kingdom of Breaux and Hicks, explaining to Hicks local officials that the camp was in preparation for the departure of the forthcoming Bryot Second Mountain Corps Yes, they are not as fortunate as the First Mountain Corps and can ride in a carriage. The Second Mountain Corps can only march all the way to the southern coastal area of the Hicks Kingdom. It is expected to take more than thirty days.
The front of the camp is indeed the second mountain army of the Kingdom of Breot, but behind the camp is the third and fourth division of the Thunder Corps and the headquarters of the legion, as well as the following storm group, eight Hicks returning division Regiment, as well as a noble coalition formed by the Duke of Red Dragons and the Marquis of Griffins.
Claude held his last military meeting before the attack.
"The seaport of Coona and the port of Patcala in the back, as well as the Plain of Manori, these three local counties were originally home to the Kingdom of Breot and will be returned to the Kingdom of Breot after the war. The four local counties of Rethysty, Meijiwana, Peel Forest and Funky Hill will also be assigned to the Kingdom of Breot, so we cannot intervene in these seven counties. "
Claude is now doing the job of dividing the loot. He knows what the noble coalition formed by the Duke of Red Dragons and the Marquis of Griffins is, and says it ’s to help, in fact, the idea is to rob another: “I put The ten counties in the west are assigned to you. These ten counties are empty, and only some places are armed. Your aristocratic coalition of nearly 100,000 people can completely swept this area. "
The Duke of Red Dragons and the Marquis of Griffins nodded. Although these 10 counties in the west are not particularly rich, they are also a hilly area with rich mineral resources in the Hicks Kingdom. The Hocks Nobles sealed here should still be very oily. of. The main thing is that the two standing corps originally stationed in the ten counties in the west were relocated to the coastal zone. The garrison and its emptiness are a soft persimmon to the noble coalition.
The Kingdom of Breot had to send three legions in total. Avitre I was sober-minded and didn't ask to act alone. Instead, he gave the command of the three legions to Claude, and also gave his beloved son Yi. Prince Cristo was sent to Claude to be his lieutenant. In addition, he will also follow Claude to the Hicks Kingdom, because he hopes to see the destruction of the Hicks Kingdom with his own eyes ...
