Chapter 1507: "·War for the Throne·Four"

Don't lose your loved ones because of weak and boring self-esteem.
Haruki Murakami (Japanese famous writer and scholar)
Zoe Ross's way of dealing with the rebels is actually to use the simplest and crudest way to compress the rebels' living space bit by bit; the northern army's greatest advantage is their extremely strong strength, and this is also Zoe Ross Qing relied on the rebels.
The strong northern army, every time it captures a rebel town, will leave at least one soldier of the northern infantry regiment before leaving; occasionally in some cities with too large a population, the garrison left by the northern army will be as high as There are as many as three or four wings.
In this way, even if the main force of the Northern Army responsible for the rebels evacuated the towns they recovered, the rebels could not recapture these towns; because the Northern Army’s second advantage is its unmatched mobility, they have the largest cavalry in the Empire Cluster.
A rebel army with more than 20,000 soldiers, when the basic town on which they live is attacked by the main force of the Northern Army, the weaker they can only choose to escape to temporarily avoid the edge of the main force of the North Army; when the main force of the North Army is withdrawn They also tried to reapply their old skills, and then used their relatively superior strength to attack large towns where only four thousand northern troops were stationed.
As a result, when more than 20,000 rebel soldiers were attacking the town, two cavalry regiments of the Northern Army suddenly killed them from behind; under the attack of 156,000 cavalry, the unexpected rebels were even half an hour away. The whole army collapsed without persevering.
The rebel soldiers scattered all over the country could not run faster than the four-legged war horses. The poorly chased northern army cavalry wiped out this large rebel army in one battle; more than 15,000 rebel soldiers, put down With the weapons in their hands, they became prisoners of war of the Northern Army.
It took only two days to implement the plan to eliminate the squad, and a large-scale rebel was annihilated. This result made Prince Philip, who had been sufficiently harassed by the rebels, very satisfied with Zoyros; the only thing that dissatisfied him was this The way to clear the rebels is too slow.
The area of ​​Kleifmond Province is not very large, but if the rebels are cleared at the current rate, then the rebels in the province will not be cleared in a month or two; if the Northern Army is really in Kloof Mengxing province was delayed for a month or two, I am afraid that the battle for the throne over the imperial capital has already come to an end. This is not a result that Prince Philip can accept.
After repeated consultations by the top leaders of the Northern Army, Prince Philip finally decided to find a way to find the main force of the rebels in the province of Clefmont, and then wipe out the main force of the rebels with the dominant force of the North Army. The main force of the Northern Army went south.
Prince Philip’s so-called main force of the rebels is actually a rebel group with Bonafide’s self-reliance legion as the core; although the senior officers of the Northern Army all know that this rebel is very large, they are against this rebel. The fighting power is not too deep.
The army of Bonafide, whose living space is getting smaller and smaller, after carrying the Northern Army trailing behind them for nearly half a month, still failed to escape the siege of the Northern Army cavalry; in Clover On the border between Mengxing and Pollini provinces, a self-reliance legion with more than 300,000 troops and a northern army with up to 400,000 troops broke out in an unprecedented decisive battle.
The northern army with a large number of advantages has a very obvious quality advantage. With tens of thousands of cavalry and 200,000 well-equipped standing soldiers, they can not only fight against the self-reliance legion, but also use their mobility advantage as slowly as they want. Slowly strangle the Ziqiang Legion.
The use of cavalry to strangle the self-improving legion is too slow, and time is the most precious thing for Prince Philip, so he decisively took a positive attack and wanted to annihilate this rebel in the shortest possible time, and then seize the time Go south to fight.
The decisive battle between the Self-Strengthening Corps and the Northern Army can be described by the word tragic; the elite 80,000 core main force under Bonafede’s armament is not worse than the standing army soldiers in the Northern Army, and the combat strength is more Slightly better.
Coupled with Quintus’s deliberate preservation of strength, the main force of the self-reliance legion once occupied the upper hand of the decisive battle until the cavalry in the northern army entered a large number of battles; the northern cavalry who continuously attacked the wings of the self-reliance legion became decisive in reversing the battlefield situation power.
The self-reliant legion on three sides, the auxiliary wings on both wings can’t stop the northern army’s tens of thousands of cavalry charge, how can the elite main force on the front be powerful, and can’t take care of the enemies in three directions; At the beginning of the moment, the victorious balance had tilted towards the northern army, but Bonafide, who refused to accept the defeat, still led his descendants to insist on the dead fight.
This great decisive battle, which began in the morning, did not come to an end until nightfall. The defeated self-reliance army killed more than 70,000 soldiers on the battlefield, and nearly 200,000 soldiers were reduced to Northern Army prisoners. Only Bona Feder himself took more than 40,000 headliners under the cover of the night when he could not see his fingers, and fled into the province of Pollini, just one step away from the battlefield.
With the help of Pollini’s provincial garrison, Bonafide finally gathered only about 30,000 elite elders. With this surviving veteran enough to form the three governor's regiments, Bonafide stepped down successfully. On the way back to the home of the Eastern Metropolitan Government.
In order to win the decisive battle, Prince Philip, who killed and wounded nearly 100,000 soldiers, organized the two hundred thousand rebel soldiers he captured directly into two cannon fodder troops and handed them to Quintus and Bishape respectively. The two warlords took over as commanders.
The destruction of Bonafide’s rebels sounded the alarm bell for Milanese, who was still performing his mission in the province of Langer; the geographical location of Langer province was not as good as that of Clermont Miranesi, who had no foreign aid at all, had to think more about the survival of his army. It was not a choice that Milanesi would make in a decisive battle with the dominant northern army.
Since Prince Philip was not in the Langer province, the people who actually commanded the northern army in Langer province were the warlords Curtis and Yvli, the governors of the northern capital, and they were not qualified to command the number. More than 200,000 Jurchen rides.
In fact, even if Prince Philip was present, he also commanded the unruly Jurchen cavalry; but the status of the prince was different after all, and the flags of the Eight Banners, the Baylors, would give the prince a little face, and would not engage in the relationship between the two sides. Too stiff.
The leaders of the Eight Banners who led the army to the south all knew the relationship between the rebels of the Ministry of Milan and the Metropolitan Government of the East; with their secret help, the situation of the rebels of the Ministry of Milan was still very good. The risk of success in the second encounter was that no damage was suffered.
With the destruction of Bonafide’s rebels, under the cover of the Eight Banners, they moved all the way from the southern province of Langer to the northern part of Langer, while the Northern Army was not prepared. , Directly into Langxiang province from the north of Langer province.
