Chapter 114: Battle

　　 Just when Ailuo secretly went to the Vola Empire to participate in the gathering of the evil camp, the situation facing Falkenrich was constantly becoming more tense.
　　 "The war situation has not developed as expected."
A Falkenridge general stood on a high hill and watched his troops advancing on the vast Taukaba Plain. Only then did he know why the king always disagreed with the attack on Stara which was favored by most generals. Strategic plan for the Western Territories.
　　 The brigade of hundreds of cavalry, the magic ballista assembly that stretched for several miles, and the steam chariot aided by the Haval Empire once made many officers feel spectacular. If you add the infantry corps, engineers, and other logistics units, this group army that has gathered nearly half of Falkenridge's forces is simply a giant when it is in the territory of Falkenridge.
　　 But now, between the sky and the earth, these people and horses meander on the muddy road. Compared with the magnificence of nature, they are as small as earthworms. Tens of thousands of troops scattered on this plain, and they were no longer found in an instant. Originally, this general thought that his troops could control many areas, but now it seems that he only controls the most basic defensive areas. The troops were still dispersed.
　　 Not to mention, now his troops are only operating in the Taukaba area and have not really entered the wider Stasi area.
Everyone underestimated Grand Duke Jon’s iron fist. He was able to completely turn Taukaba into the occupied area of ​​Stasi in the shortest time after the start of the war, and he swallowed Tao without paying any price. Kabbah's final autonomy.
　　 So now, the enemy territory that Falkenrich’s army is facing is the sum of Stasi and Taukaba.
　　 Don’t look at just the area of ​​the two principalities. In fact, both Stasi and Taukaba belong to quite powerful principalities. The combined area is no less than that of Minysk, a country with a territory close to the four empires.
　　 Compared with this, Falkenrich really doesn’t look enough...
In the beginning, several high-level commanders mobilized their troops in units of squadrons. Later, because the front lines were too long and the terrain was too large, they began to be forced to fight with squadrons as the basic unit. Later, there was even only one squadron. The troops are on the offensive. For a group army, this undoubtedly means that the war has entered a stalemate.
Although reinforcements are still being deployed from the rear, at least the commander of this group army now has more than 10,000 more troops available than when he first entered the Taukaba area, but these troops are sent to various attack points. After going up, everyone still found that they were still too small to attack the land.
The battle was very strange. Falkenridge’s offensive forces were actually not very large. Only about 100,000 people were involved in the first counterattack. These forces were then strengthened to 150,000, but compared to The Stasi coalition forces they are going to deal with, this offensive force is not huge anyway.
　　 It took several days to form an encirclement of more than 30,000 Falkenrich troops. The Stasi had about 40,000 troops. However, due to lack of weapons and no rear support, these armies could not break through the originally sparse defense line formed by the Falkenridge Infantry Regiment.
　　 Hundreds of soldiers from Taukabah raised their hands and surrendered to dozens of Falkenrich soldiers on the battlefield. You can also see everywhere, dozens of Falkenrich soldiers carrying guns to attack nearly a thousand troops holding the Stasi flag.
The current order issued by King Weiss is to allow the Falkenridge army to advance at the fastest speed, occupy the territory of Taukaba as much as possible before the real main force of Stasi reacts, and at the same time wipe out all the Taukaba field troops in this area. .
The current results are pretty good. Falkenridge encircled most of the Stasi’s servants within a week of the official start of the counterattack. Excluding the few troops on the northern front is fairly complete, and the Stasi’s troops in the rest of the area To be precise, the Taukaba servant army has fallen into a disaster of total collapse.
A Falkenridge scout team appeared on the edge of a small town in the morning of this day. Two human scouts who had been adventurers stopped their steps in a wheat field not far away, and one The steam chariot was more courageous. It crossed the wheat field and stopped on the side of the town’s street. The two orc soldiers sitting in the car jumped off and proceeded cautiously against the wall until they entered the town. First crossroads.
Several Taukaba women with a surprised face were walking hurriedly on the street carrying a basket. They saw the Falkenridge soldiers who had broken into their town, and said something to them in a hasty tone, but the two orcs listened. I don't understand what these people say, so I can only lean against the wall and watch these chattering alien women warily.
　　 Although the main language on the Western Continent is lingua franca, even in different human countries, there are different languages. Ordinary people in many small places don't even speak the "very powerful and elegant language" of lingua franca, such as the people in this small town of Taukaba.
Soon the roar of the steam chariot engine attracted the attention of these locals. Several cavalrymen who followed afterwards also rushed into the town. One of the cavalrymen shouted to the two orc soldiers who arrived first: "Safe, nearby. There are no Stasi soldiers."
　　 "I want to know more now, what are they talking about?" A bear orc watched around nervously, and asked his companion.
　　 "I think more than you, trust me." The human soldiers riding on the horses helplessly spread their hands, "I just heard them talking about Stasi, leaving, eating or something."
"They want to invite us to dinner?" Another tiger orc laughed and said the most unlikely guess: "I think if they are inviting us to dinner, I will give the captain the candy I just received today. ."
"I'm afraid your sugar won't be able to keep it." A thin man pushed a few Taukaba women away, came to these Falkenrich soldiers, and said in a half-baked common language: "Hello, my name is Nanbo, I’m a...er, school teacher, I can speak lingua franca."
　　 "Hello, what are these girls talking about?" The leading veteran also walked up and asked the women of Taukaba.
"They said thank you for being here and freeing them from the evildoers. They were willing to cook dinner for you, and they said there were no more Stasi soldiers here. They evacuated this morning." The teacher calmed down a bit and spoke fluently.
"..." Thinking of what he said just now because of his awkward mouth, the young tiger orc soldier was very speechless. At present, sugar can be regarded as one of the few luxury goods on the front line, even though all the sugar sent to the soldiers is now It is quite inferior, but it is regarded as a treasure by many people.
　　 "That... Mr. Banbo..." Falkenridge's veteran felt very embarrassed because he didn't remember the other party's name, and embarrassedly continued to ask: "Are you sure there are no Stasi soldiers here?"
　　 "Yes, sir, they are not welcome here, so you can rest assured." The teacher didn't mind, he nodded, "The direction they left seems to be east, and they are walking very hurriedly."
"You two, go to the east to be on guard. If you find the situation, you will be alerted as soon as possible." The veteran nodded and began to arrange tasks for several of his men. "The steam chariot team is on standby in the south. The rest continue to search forward. , Expand the search range to about three kilometers, and start acting."
It didn’t take long for a vanguard of Falkenridge to arrive in this abandoned town. Two steam chariots like steel monsters passed through the city, followed by about a hundred heavily armed soldiers. Let the atmosphere of war in this town.
　　 I have to say that this kind of chariot aided by the Haval Empire is really deterrent. These small town residents just hide behind the windows and peek, they are terrified by these two big guys.
　　 Although they didn't know that these steam chariots were obsolete models of the Haval Empire, they could only bully the infantry.
　　 But no matter what, the expected disaster did not come. The Falkenridge soldiers were quite self-disciplined and did not try to invade the locals, even the goblin and orc soldiers who are most likely to do this kind of thing in the ordinary people's impression.
　　As time passed, more and more Falkenridge officers arrived, and the ranks were getting higher and higher. The local talents found that a group army of Falkenridge had been used as a temporary front-line command.
　　 Teacher Nanbo and two beautiful Taukaba girls were selected as representatives of the locals, and they were cordially met by the frontline commanders. Several people chatted enthusiastically about the local customs. After the atmosphere became enthusiastic, Nanbo pointed to a beautiful local girl and introduced their clothing features and customs.
　　 After several military officers assured them that Falkenridge would only collect one-tenth of this year’s crop as a tax, the screams of the girl from Taukaba could spread far away while covering her mouth.
Then the town boiled, because the Falkenrich promised to return the prisoners of Taukaba to the locals~EbookFREE.me~ as long as these prisoners are behind, that is, the construction corps on the other side of the Icot Valley. Years of work, they can safely return to their hometown.
　　 People sang and danced to celebrate the arrival of the Falkenridge army. From this moment on, the identity of the "Falkenridge Occupy Army" has been sublimated to the more noble "Falkenridge Liberator".
　　 More than a dozen men hiding in the wheat fields were persuaded by Nanbo to return to the town. As a result, the Falkenrich did not mean to embarrass them, and even a young man in Stasi red light armor was given an amnesty. So the Fakenrich people once again jumped from "liberators" to "messengers of the gods."
Everywhere is grateful for the voices of the Falkenridges for driving away the "Stacy villains". The residents of Taukaba even took the initiative to provide many clean houses for Falkenridges, saying that they would not let these officers sleep in their small rooms. Tent around the town.
This is the first town of Taukaba to welcome Fakenrich to enter the war so far. Of course, it has received attention from all sides. In Zakif, the generals were once again shocked by the vision of the young king because of the vision of the young king. When Si formulated his plan before, he believed that the attack on Falkenridge would be welcomed by the local people of Taukaba.
　　 And this is also the beginning of the division plan.
　　 Then, in the name of the king, the front-line commander issued temporary laws and regulations of the occupation army, prohibiting Falkenrich soldiers from disrupting the lives of local people. They must strictly enforce this regulation and exercise maximum restraint on the friendly local Taukaba residents.
In fact, the guerrillas feared by Falkenrich did not show up as well as resistance and hatred. On the contrary, more Taukaba people did not have any special feelings for the arrival of the Falkenrich. They looked at Falkenli numbly. The Qi army walked in front of him, neither cheering nor hatred.
