Alien Empire Total War

In the end, neither of the two commanders of the Enkelan army had made up their minds to order the retreat. None of them was willing to take on this responsibility. The order to retreat could easily be issued with a single-close lip, but the final consequence was not They can easily resist.

Once the evacuation order is issued, thousands of soldiers still fighting on the front line will suffer heavy losses, and countless soldiers will be buried in this foreign land.

However, this did not mean that they would sit still. The commanders of the two legions began to order the deployment of some troops in the direction of Provence to retreat, to support Moldo Castle, and to protect the land road for them to return home. The troops that had not yet participated in the war also received Order to build a new line of defense and block it layer by layer, so that even if there is a large-scale rout of the front line, losses can be minimized as much as possible.

The mobilization of Enkelan's army was soon discovered by the guerrillas active behind enemy lines and reported to the nearby Rumont army, and sent to Victor's command as soon as possible. The latter did not feel anxious, he After dispatching the messenger to send this information to Moldo Castle, he concentrated on dealing with the city in front of him.

He has already made contact with the resistance organizations lurking in the city. The resistance organizations expressed their willingness to organize citizens to riot, cooperate with the army inside and outside, and drive away the Enkelans stationed in the city together.

The entire city of more than 300,000 inhabitants caused a riot that was enough to drive away the less than 10,000 Enkelan troops, but after thinking twice, Victor did not immediately agree to the proposal of the resistance organization. The city garrison was easy to deal with. The most important thing is those warships cruising on the sea. If they are determined to indiscriminately bombard the city, they will be ruined by then.

To deal with those warships, they had to deploy artillery on the shore to bombard them, but the artillery of their two divisions combined could not compare with the number of artillery on the warships outside Beslan Harbor. Once their intentions were discovered, they would be By the concentrated artillery fire of the enemy warships, the entire artillery position was over.

Apart from this, he has no other way. This can be said to be an unsolvable problem. The more than 300,000 residents of the entire city cannot be moved away in a short period of time, even if he wants to set up the defense line of the enemy first. It would take a month or two to open a hole and let the citizens escape along the gap. The most optimistic would take a month or two to move everyone out. The Enkelans would not give them that time.

Not only was Victor worried about this, but Charlie also felt entangled after receiving the battle report. Unlike Victor, he already had a plan in his heart, but the plan was a bit sinister, so he didn't dare to rashly issue it. .

That is to directly launch a siege, defeat the defenders, and cause the shelling of the Enkelan Navy!

Once the Enklan Navy chooses to bombard the city, Charlie can take advantage of the situation to publicize their atrocities, isolate the Enklan Republic from the international community, and once again trigger the same hatred across the country. At that time, all soldiers in the army will get a great degree of morale boost. buff, as long as he gives an order, not only the south, but the whole country can violently riot, and directly tie the three countries that are at war with them.

This is to exchange the price of a city for morale gain and the maximum amount of violent soldiers. The violent soldiers here are even the National Army that does not need him to provide military pay. The combat effectiveness of the National Army has been shown in the southern battlefield. They may It is slightly inferior on the frontal battlefield, but when it is engaged in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, its combat effectiveness will be increased several times.

This plan will cause thousands of civilians to be killed in the shelling, and Charlie dare not order it without authorization. In addition, it can be predicted that the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army who carries out this task will bear the greatest responsibility, and the rest of his life will be Passed through deep self-blame - for Victor's biological father's sake, Charlie would also replace him before deciding to start this plan.

...

On the other side, the 3rd Division of the Fifth Army finally approached the area where the Castle of Moldo was located after marching day and night. With the assistance of the local guerrillas, they obtained information on the enemy forces surrounding the castle.

The army that besieged Moldo Castle initially had more than 25,000 soldiers and fifty artillery pieces. However, under the constant storming for more than half a month, a large number of soldiers died on the way, until the first ten days of July. Outside the city, there were more than 15,000 troops still carrying out the siege mission, and a dozen artillery pieces were also lost.

It can be said that this army has lost its fighting spirit and has become a tired army.

After days of fighting, the number of defenders in the city was reduced to about 4,600 people. The National Army that had entered the city before was almost wiped out, and the rest were also recruited by the commander of the Tenth Division. In addition to the huge loss of personnel, there are only the last two artillery pieces left in the regular army soldiers. The cannonballs can still take the enemy's shot for their own use, but the gunpowder can't do anything, so unless the enemy When they rushed to the front, they would restrain the urge to fire.

The third division did not rush to attack, but first got in touch with the garrison in the castle through the guerrillas, discussed the time to launch the attack together, and prepared to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The Enkelan army outside the castle also received information about the arrival of the third division at the same time. The army commander knew that the morale of the army was difficult to resist the attack of the two armies, so he decided not to confront the enemy head-on, but to withdraw from the camp to avoid Fight the enemy and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, things did not go so well. When the Enklan army retreated, the second brigade of the Second Division of the Fifth Army, which came from the south, also entered the battlefield. They broke out with the retreating Enklan army. During the encounter, the more than 4,000 soldiers who appeared from the rear caught the Enkelan army by surprise, but they quickly reacted and shrank their forces to resist the attack of the second brigade~www.readwn.com~ floated from afar The movement of the battle quickly attracted the attention of the 3rd and 10th divisions. They immediately dispatched reconnaissance hunters to investigate the situation. After learning that a friendly force was fighting the enemy, the commanders of the two divisions went underground. Reached the same order and moved closer to the battlefield in the fierce battle.

With the intervention of the two divisions, this sudden encounter turned into an encircling attack against the Enklan army. The Enklan army was already in turmoil due to the huge casualties, and its morale was exhausted. Now it is being hit by three directions. The enemy attacked, morale plummeted again, the queue stagnated, and there were even sporadic deserters.

If there are cavalry troops in the Lumen army participating in the battle at this time, it will complete the lore, but unfortunately it cannot be killed. Even if there are no cavalry troops participating in the battle, the Lumen army still successfully defeated the Enkelan army and captured a large number of firearms and the abandoned ones. No nailed artillery.

It is worth mentioning that among these artillery pieces, there are several 12-pounder infantry guns that were captured from the Tenth Division.

After going around, they returned to the hands of the tenth division.
