Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 175: Becky civil unrest

On August 5, 1754, the city of Hillens, the economic, political and cultural center of the Hildi Kingdom, was doomed to be an uneasy day.

Citizens who survived the riots in the capital hid in their homes and listened to the occasional rumble of cannons in the south. They no longer had the prestige and vigor of the protests and demonstrations a few days ago.

Since the riots were suppressed, the entire city of Hilens was under martial law. Those troops who participated in the suppression did not leave the city, but were stationed on the streets to maintain order in the capital. The once prosperous city almost became a dead city under martial law. , Citizens have been hiding at home for a long time, and only take to the streets when shopping for food.

The martial law in the capital did not have any impact on the front-line battle situation. Rumont's army was still aggressively attacking, and the army defending the kingdom was retreating, making the distance between the enemy and Hierens increasingly shortened.

Until August 5th, the fastest advancing second division of the Fourth Army of Rumont had reached the village of Baucus, which was less than a day away from the city. The artillery of the army launched artillery fire on the Greek army positions built inside the village, and the 12-pound infantry. The deafening sound of the cannon resounded through the sky, even the residents who lived near the outskirts of the city of Hierens could hear it.

While the friendly troops were stubbornly resisting, the Hildi army also built long positions on the outskirts of the city of Hillens. They dug trenches, built parapets, and deployed all artillery on the positions, hoping to keep the enemy out of the capital.

At the same time, they are also ready to fight in the city streets. All the raw materials hoarded in the warehouses have been requisitioned, transported to the streets, and built into barricades to block the advance. The citizens of the city have also been recruited by the government, and they have been removed from their homes. Take away, distribute weapons, undergo brief military training, and prepare for the next street battle.

The heat inside and outside the city is in full swing, but Hildi’s royal family and cabinet are ready to move the capital—to be precise, it’s not to move the capital, but to temporarily relocate the government offices to the safe north until the city of Hierens is recaptured. , they move the agency back.

This statement has the same effect as the southern hunting, southern hunting, and western hunting in ancient China!

That's right, the Hildi royal family and the cabinet are not willing to surrender to the Rumont army. No one is willing to bear such a heavy infamy, and they still maintain a bit of luck in their hearts: after the Rumont people occupy the city of Hierens, they should not They will continue to march, and when they put forward proposals and requests at that time, they may be able to completely end the war.

Their allies, Becky Kingdom, don't need to think about it. The war has continued to this day. The latter has made no progress in the war. In the battle between the border line and Lumont's third army, not only did they fail to break through the opponent's line of defense, but instead The opponent found an opportunity to push back, the war was stalemate, and the war-weariness spread among Becky's army.

In addition to the war-weariness in the army, the agents of the Rumont Republic did not miss the opportunity to operate in Becky's country. They also planned a number of actions in Hildi Kingdom and Becky Kingdom, including bribing dark lines, inciting The riots, etc., the small mutinies that broke out within Becky's army were the work of the Rumont workers.

The Becky Kingdom is a traditional monarchy, and the soldiers in its army are all models of pure food and military service. Patriotism does not work at all on their side. At least when they joined the army, some soldiers were influenced by the knights and wanted to join the army to win honor.

However, the ideals of this type of soldiers were quickly wiped out by the reality, and the cruel reality turned them into the type of soldiers who were fed and served, and lived in a mess with their comrades.

This kind of army, which relies entirely on military pay, is the most unstable. They rarely have the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and patriotism. In addition, the ranks of the army are strict, and officers discriminate and oppress the soldiers one after another. There are many contradictions. , the angry soldiers will rise up under the impulse and set off a mutiny.

In addition to the mutiny, there were still many contradictions in Becky's country. During the war, the food all over the country was concentrated to support the front line, and the civilians were also plagued by famine. The people often went hungry, but still tried to pay heavy taxes. Under pressure, many civilians had to leave their homes and flee to other places to avoid harsh taxes.

When there is oppression, there is resistance. With the support of the Rumont workers, the oppressed Becky civilians finally could no longer bear it. They united and gathered a rebellion. They besieged the manor of the nobles and squires, and hanged those high-ranking lords from trees. The property is divided up.

The death of the noble squire was just a small appetizer. The feasted rebels then swept the surrounding villages, adding more and more unoppressed civilians to join, and the momentum became more and more powerful, scaring the nearby noble squires. Abandoning assets and fleeing to a safe city.

When the news of the peasant uprising reached Becky's court, King Becky wanted to mobilize the army to suppress the domestic rebellion, but was horrified to find that rebels of different sizes appeared all over the country, and the powerful rebels defeated the local security. The army seized a large number of weapons, and then besieged the town, further increasing the threat level.

Whether to continue fighting foreign enemies or suppress the rebels threatening his own rule, King Becky chose the latter without hesitation. With his order, Becky's army began to deploy troops and return to defense without affecting the front-line battle situation. Suppressing the rebels all over the country, and because of this, they gave the still stalemate Rumont Third Army a chance to break the deadlock and make progress.

Under the trouble of Rumont workers~www.readwn.com~ Becky Kingdom is in the predicament of internal and external troubles, so it can't be the hope and support of Hildi Kingdom, they can only rely on their own strength to resist Lu The Mongolian army continued to go north, and reluctantly pinned their hopes on the Lumenites - hoping that they would know how to be satisfied and agree to an armistice and negotiation after taking the city of Hierens.

However, this is impossible. This is not the game Europa Universalis 4. After Charlie occupied the entire Hildi Kingdom, he had to take into account the expansion and only ceded the part of the land connected to his country. Charlie can completely continue the war. , until the last Hildi who was still resisting died.

...

The retreat plan of the Hildi royal family and cabinet was not much publicized. They chose to quietly evacuate the capital in the middle of the night, so that the army in the capital area could maintain the fighting spirit and continue to resist.

Everyone knows very well that the army can maintain the fighting spirit and continue to fight the enemy, mainly because behind them is the capital and the residence of the king. Once they know that the king they want to defend abandons them and runs away, the whole army will fight It will collapse quickly in a short period of time.
