Chapter 1508: "·War for Throne·Five"

A gentleman is: what you do is not what you want to do, but what you should do.
Haruki Murakami (Famous Japanese writer and scholar)
Milanese, with nearly 70,000 elite soldiers and two or three hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers, did not take all the troops under his command into the northern governor's palace, but only took the most elite more than 40,000 soldiers and sneaked into Langxiang In the province, more than 300,000 soldiers were directly thrown by him to the Eight Banners Qiqi, who was responsible for the suppression of the rebels, so that they could declare the destruction of the Langer province rebels.
Without knowing the ghosts, he infiltrated more than 40,000 soldiers in the department of Milanese in Langxianghang Province. He did not immediately attack the city in Langxiangxing Province, but secretly contacted the powerful nets in the northern provinces. Luowang's full help helped to disperse and hide.
At this point, the two major rebels in Clermont-de-France and Langer’s province officially declared their annihilation, and Prince Philip, who had cleared the last stumbling block, began to lead his northern army to leave the two provinces and continue south, heading straight to his heart. The imperial capital is gone.
It takes a minimum of about ten days from the provinces of Clermont-de-France and Langer to the Emperor Capital, and at this time the Northwest Army under Prince William’s Department was only six days away from the Emperor Capital; even Prince Harry’s Department The Southwest Army is only half a month away from the imperial capital.
The Northwest Army arrived in the Imperial Capital four days later than Prince William. It seemed to Prince Philip that it was not an unacceptable result, because he had more than two hundred thousand powerful Jurchen Eight Banners riding under his command, this is where he has his confidence; Prince Philip has always believed that the most powerful military one can be the last winner of the battle for the throne!
When Prince William, Prince Philip, and Prince Harry led their respective armies desperately to the emperor capital, the attack of the army of Prince Prosperity on the emperor capital had reached a crucial juncture; there was no possibility of entering the emperor. The army of the Proposal of the United States simply used the lives of countless soldiers to consume the guards in the Imperial City little by little.
The two armies that killed the mountains of corpses, every day, tens of thousands of soldiers fell on the battlefield, either at the foot of the city wall, or above the wall, and there were blood dripping and corpses everywhere; even after nightfall, Prince Prosperous was still sending troops to storm the capital.
At the beginning, Prince Pross, who was planning to enter the emperor's ascendancy, was forced to do everything by the increasingly severe situation; a group of people in the towns near the imperial capital were arrested by the Prince. To serve as a cannon fodder for siege.
The reason is that among the families of these people are the defending soldiers who are on the walls of the imperial capital. Prince Pross tried to use this method to force the defenders of the imperial capital to give up resistance; but the effect of this move is not significant, and occasionally they recognize themselves The defenders of the family will immediately be replaced by the defenders, and all the soldiers who try to save their families by other means will be executed.
In order to protect the emperor, the royal army generals who raised the butcher's knife to their subordinates, practiced their loyalty to the emperor and the empire in their almost cruel way; their behavior was exchanged outside the city. The prince's army attacked more fiercely.
After days of battles, the number of troops under Prince Pross has been reduced from the original 890,000 regular army soldiers and 1.08 million new army soldiers to 600,000 regular army soldiers and 550,000 new army soldiers; In addition to more than 300,000 wounded soldiers lying in the camp and wailing in pain, the soldiers under the command of 500,000 Prince of Pross became victims of this war.
The defenders of the imperial capital paid a similar price in order to resist the assault of the army of the Prince of Pros. The three royal legions, together with the reserve soldiers who continually supplemented them, now have no more than one hundred thousand soldiers defending the city wall, one Neither the complete brigade nor the wing can be found. How fierce this fighting around the imperial capital is can be seen in general.
Salvini had fifteen temporary regiments, plus twelve temporary regiments under the four generals of Kramer, Halpe, Plauen, and Schultz, who were loyal to him. There are twenty-seven legions, with a total strength of up to 540,000.
However, with more than half a month of fighting and fighting, the standing legion that was originally transferred to him was transferred again, and Plauen and others who were transferred to other people were transferred back; they almost returned to their original state. Salvini, the army under his command is still composed of 27 interim legions, but his actual total available strength has been sharply reduced to less than 300,000.
Twenty-seven provisional legions have only 290,000 soldiers, and on average each legion has only half of the full number of soldiers; even then, the army of Salvini is still the main force of the high hopes of Prince Pros, because the other legions The decline in combat power is even more serious.
If you compare the combat strength of a fully-armed legion to 100%, then the legion that lost half of its troops is not 50% of its original state; morale decline and physical fatigue, It will make the remaining half of the soldiers unable to play even the initial 10% of the battle. It is a blessing that they can maintain their collapse.
Compared with the other nearly collapsed temporary legions, and the standing legions and guard divisions with less than 30% of their peak power, the Salvini divisions have actually become the most powerful under the leadership of Prince Pross. Strong legions, provided that they must fight under the direct command of Salvini, this is the reason why Prince Pross reassigned the legions to him.
In order to buy Salvini, the conditions given to him by Prince Pross have been changed from the first thing to the fact that the Marquis of the Empire has been granted to the governor of a province, and has become the current Duke of the Empire to grant the Minister of Empire Military Affairs; even Even Halpei and other generals under Salvini's command received the pledge from the Provincial Governor to grant the Governor of a province after the success of Prince Pross.
Prince Pross, who used high-ranking officials to recruit senior generals, adopted a more intense threat of kidnapping against ordinary soldiers; he let his confidants read the criminal law on the empire’s disposal of traitors to ordinary soldiers We listened and told them that they had embarked on a path of no return, either they would enter the emperor and enjoy the glory and wealth, or they would be exterminated by the empire.
Ordinary soldiers who have no choice but to follow their generals, and for the life of their whole family, fearless death launched a wave of attacks on the imperial capital; this is the sorrow and destiny of ordinary soldiers, It will always be the tool of the superior.
Before receiving the latest order, Salvini still dispatched his troops every day to launch a fierce attack on the imperial capital; until his soldiers were reduced from 290,000 to 220,000, he was already lurking in the imperial capital. Ivan took the initiative to find him for several days.
First handed over Feng Feng’s hand-written orders to Salvini, and after gaining Salvini’s trust, Ivan told him his deployment; the safe deployment of Ivan was already tired of this futile attack on Salvini. Agree without hesitation.
