Chapter 1505: "·War for the Throne·Two"

I can bear any pain, as long as it makes sense.
Haruki Murakami (Japanese famous writer and scholar)
Before the army left the territory of the Northern Metropolitan Government, he received Prince Philip sent a secret letter from the Imperial Knights. For the first time, his brother Pross was so cute, even with his rebels all over the provinces of the Empire. Goodwill multiplied; because it seemed to him that the crown prince was already in his pocket, and all of this was attributed to the rebels and Pross, who had swollen ambitions due to rebellion.
Capturing Pros alive is not a difficult task for Prince Philip; Prince William and Prince Harry certainly have the strength to complete this task. The key to the problem is that their position is too far away from the imperial capital to catch up. !
The proud Prince Philip took the largest cavalry cluster under his empire and left the northern governor's palace at a rapid speed, galloping in the direction of the imperial capital; as a result, just after leaving the northern governor's palace, they Was attacked by the rebels.
The strongest rebels in Clermont-de-France are Bonafide’s self-reliant legions. Other rebels, large and small, are either vassal forces that only look forward to the self-reliant legions, or they are extremely remote and have little practical value Scattered rebels.
The situation of the rebels in the Milanese province in Lange province is similar to that of Bonafide’s self-reliance army in Clefmon province; they are a big family and they can easily mobilize the entire province. Rebel forces, to deal with the northern army into the province.
When he was first attacked by rebels in Clovermont Province, Prince Philip, who had not lost a lot of money, was able to accept it calmly. After all, he also heard about how strong the rebels in Clovermont Province were; The famous generals like Duke Burt suffered heavy losses under the rebels. Prince Philip did not think that the generals under his command could be compared with the empires.
The Northern Army, which had increased its security due to this attack, encountered another second rebel attack two hours after the first rebel attack; more unfortunately, this time the rebel attack was The governor's army is much worse than the standing army.
A fully-fledged northern infantry regiment was completely annihilated under the attack of a rebel; more than 1,000 soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than 3,000 soldiers became serious casualties that delayed the march. Nearly five thousand soldiers were taken alive by the rebels.
In such a disastrous defeat, Prince Philip was about to execute the injured legion chief on the spot; fortunately Zoe Ross came forward to persuade Prince Philip, the unfortunate head of the corps was lucky enough to save his life and was relegated to belong to The squadron leader among the grassroots officers.
Because Clermont-de-France is a neighboring province of the Northern Metropolitan Government, Zoyros, instead of the furious Prince Philip, gave an order to the Northern Cavalry Corps and asked them to quickly send the severely wounded to the Northern Metropolitan Government, so as not to delay the army’s march. speed.
Zoe Ross has already replaced the commander-in-chief of the House of Governors Fitch as the de facto No. 2 figure in the Northern Metropolitan Government, and even Prince Philip has a word for Zoe Ross to obey; to the extent that this is obviously not very compliant. The order was still executed by the commander of the cavalry regiment. The key point was that Prince Philip, who had learned about it, did not feel abnormal.
When everyone else is accustomed to Zoe Rose giving orders to Prince Philip, the only person who feels that Zoe Rose's move is not suitable is the commander of the Governor's Guard Fitch; but Zoe Rose and Fitch The personal relationship was still profound, and Fitch did not receive much attention from Zoyros on weekdays. In the end, he still had no choice to say his thoughts.
Fitch’s loyalty to Prince Philip is unquestionable, saying that he is the least likely to betray Prince Philip. There is no problem for him; and the reason why he did not express his doubts is not because of selfishness, but because he believes in Eros is human.
How could Prince Philip jump from the prince who was least exposed to Charles the Great to become the most powerful prince with the most powerful troops? It is Zoe Rose who plays a key role in this; for such a person, Fitch feels that he should not question the other party.
Zoiros, who has been promoted to the governor of the northern capital, ordered the general of the northern army to be suspicious, but it was only a small episode in the process of the northern army going south; the true main theme, or something that made the northern army overwhelmed, or Attack from the rebels.
If the attack during the day only caused the Northern Army to suffer a tolerable loss, then the attack after nightfall was a complete disaster for the Northern Army; because this time, it was no longer ordinary to attack them Rebels, but self-reliance legions!
In fact, when the North Army was attacked for the second time, the rebel army that annihilated an entire Northern Infantry Corps was the elite force in the Self-Strengthening Corps; but that time the Self-Strengthening Corps dispatched only 10,000 soldiers, but now the Self-Strengthening Corps is dispatched. Fully 50,000 elite!
Nowadays, the Self-Strengthening Legion has only 80,000 people who are well-equipped and elite. Together with hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops and vassals, the total strength of the Self-Strength Legion in a battle will be as high as 500,000. These are not known to Prince Philip.
At this time, the army that followed Prince Philip was mainly composed of ten standing corps and twenty northern infantry corps, as well as five northern cavalry corps and fifteen guard divisions; the other six standing corps and twenty northern infantry corps The legion and the five guard divisions, along with the more than twenty-eight thousand flag cavalry of the Jurchen tribe, advanced southwards in the province of Langle.
Even after subtracting a northern infantry regiment that had just been annihilated by the rebels, the army around Prince Philip was still as high as 590,000; the scale of the camp of nearly 600,000 troops was imaginable.
It is no exaggeration to say that the camp of the Eighteenth Army at the forefront and the camp of the Eighty-fourth Army at the rear, even with the fastest warhorse to deliver messages, will take an hour to achieve. This is the drawback of having a large army.
Fortunately, Prince Philip was not a worthless wine bag. With the advice of Zoe Ross, Fitch, and Quintus, he set up a new position called Commander in the Governor’s Guard and the Governor’s Corps; every five The guard division or the five governor regiments will have an experienced general as commander, who will be in charge of commanding the five guard regiments or governor regiments.
In terms of the standing legion, there are four warlords in charge of the sixteen standing legions, and there is no need for Prince Philip to pay more attention and strengthen the command. This is to save Prince Philip a lot of things invisible; the only drawback is that It was because Prince Philip had limited control over each standing legion, and the role of the warlord was magnified infinitely.
