Alien Empire Total War

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the total war of the alien empire!

After the fall of the Coron Fortress, the fortresses of the Hildi Kingdom on the border were also removed one by one under the offensive of the Rumont army, a large number of people became prisoners, and the weapons and baggage hoarded in the front-line warehouses to deal with the war also fell into the hands of the enemy. , become their weapon against themselves instead.

The Rumont army was not interested in these large numbers of muskets. Except for keeping some of them as replacements, most of them were shipped back to China. Artillery, ammunition and the like were taken for their own use and used in the next battle. among.

As for the Hildi soldiers who became prisoners, Charlie directly rejected the proposal of a staff officer in the War Department to kill the prisoners. He knew very well that killing prisoners would only arouse the Hildi soldiers' stubborn resistance. When they knew they would surrender After the end of the war is still death, they will continue to resist with a will to die, causing their own soldiers to pay unnecessary casualties.

Of course, it is impossible to put them back. Those prisoners of war will definitely return to the army after they are released, and take up arms to fight them again. This is a foolish thing to capitalize on the enemy. .

However, he soon had a good idea.

Counting the prisoners of the Kerun fortress, until the day when the Greek border fortresses fell across the board, the front-line army captured more than 7,000 prisoners of war in the battle. These prisoners of war will be escorted back to the country and sent to the barracks in various border cities for acceptance. A month-long systematic training, eventually converted into a systematic army loyal to Charlie. Charlie is very proficient in killing people. When the two armies are at war, these prisoners of war change into the blue-blue uniforms of the Lumont army, shouting the slogan of Lumen Long Live to charge their former comrades...

That picture is simply not too beautiful.

Having such an army will also have a great impact on the morale and fighting spirit of the Greek soldiers. Just imagine, the comrades who used to shout long live the king with you before were captured and fought for the enemy country with all their hearts. Some of them are even your relatives and friends. Can you deal with them?

It is far more effective to make a prisoner defect than to kill a prisoner. Although killing a prisoner can cause fear to the enemy, it may also have the opposite effect, making the enemy share the same hatred.

Regarding Charlie's idea, although the officials and staff of the War Department felt that it was not very reliable, and they did not think that all prisoners of war could become reliable soldiers loyal to them in just one month, but because of their strong trust in Charlie. Feeling that they all agreed with Charlie's idea, and planned to convey it as an order.

At the same time, the main force of the Lumen Army, who had cleared the obstacles, also marched into the country of Hildi. The defense line, and at the same time to the eastern ally Becky Kingdom for help, hoping that the latter can share some of the pressure for them.

It has to be said that the premeditated strong attack of the Rumont army, coupled with the threat of the Engoth army in the north, the situation of the Hildi Kingdom is very bad. One of their three armies in the country has to deal with the threat from the north. , the two armies deployed in the south lost part of their strength in the early days of the war, and then they had to deal with the attack of the Lumens far higher than their three armies, and their strength was stretched.

Therefore, Hildi's cabinet had to conduct a new round of military recruitment and mobilization across the country, organizing a large number of young people of school age and retired veterans to receive military training, and then distribute weapons to the battlefield.

Military training also takes time. Before that, Hildi’s cabinet also has to share the pressure for the front-line army, so they began to seek the help of mercenaries internationally, and let those mercenaries who fight for money through the lure of a lot of money. join their army.

In this world, mercenaries did not end with the end of the cold weapon era. There are still groups of mercenaries who are still active on the international stage. They are mostly experienced veterans who have retired from the military. , The composition of the personnel in the mercenary group is complex, and the goals are also different.

But one thing is certain, they are all about integrity and will never bully their employers, because if they dare to do this, they will cut off their future financial paths, and no one will dare to hire them anymore. Nobody wants to be backstabbed by someone they hire.

Just like the vultures who took the initiative to surround themselves with the smell of carrion, the mercenaries without employers came to this area spontaneously after hearing the news of the outbreak of war. They keenly saw the current predicament of the Hildi Kingdom. , and asked the latter if they needed mercenary assistance. This is undoubtedly like someone who has lived in the desert for a long time encountering nectar. Hildi's cabinet agreed immediately, and they did not refuse, and most of the mercenaries were brought under their command.

Their ally in the east, Becky Kingdom, also extended a helping hand to them. Becky Kingdom also had three armies. Although they were unable to tear apart the line of defense established by the Third Army of Rumont on the border between the two countries, this did not mean They would fight to the death here, and after receiving a call from their allies for help, they took the time to move troops westward to join the war in Hildi.

As a result, half a month after the fall of Coron Fortress, that is, on May 3, 1754, the proportion of troops in the southern battlefield of Hildi changed. With the addition of mercenaries and allies, the Hildi army, which was originally weak, surpassed the Rumont army that launched the attack, but this also came at a price. They not only had to bear the supplies of their own army, but also The obligation to provide supplies for Becky's army, which came to support, made their stocks and military expenditures burn a lot.

It is ridiculous to say that in order to resist the threat from the south, the Hildi army stored a large part of the baggage in the warehouse of the southern fortress stronghold. However, these baggage supplies fell into the hands of the enemy after the stronghold fell, but instead With the help of the enemy, they can only rely on the remaining baggage to supply the front-line army.

Gunpowder, artillery shells, everything is okay, but the most important thing is food. Because Charlie has been blocking trade with hostile countries, only a few canned products have flowed into here. In addition, the domestic harvest has been sluggish in the past year. Their food needs This is the most pressing issue right now.

Soldiers can only eat brown bread and air-dried meat, which are easy to store and mixed with various trace elements, and seldom can eat fresh food. In comparison, their enemy Rumont soldiers are eating a delicious meal— - Those sealed cans have various flavors of food. They can eat fish caught in the southern seas at any time, or pork, beef, and chicken mixed with soybeans and other vegetables. The will to fight is also maintained in the face of guaranteed logistics. in the highest state.
