Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

　　 Before Lothar sent troops to Nuremberg, two things happened that affected the development of the situation in the Principality.

　　 One thing was expected, one unexpected.

　　 On July 20th, Thornburg was attacked by the Marquis of Yervesarburg.

　　 After holding on for four days, on the afternoon of the 23rd, the day Monroe and his party arrived in Linhu Town, they were breached. The Viscount Ridren of Thornburg, who adhered to the path of honor, fought to the death of the city very hard. The Principality army stationed there was completely annihilated, and no established soldiers could escape or break through.

　　Because the distance is too far and there is a blockade on the way. It was not until the night of the 29th that this piece of information was relayed back by the intelligence personnel deployed around Thornburg. Lothar took the more detailed battle history and casualties on both sides only on August 3rd and 4th.

　　 This is obviously a hugely influential change. Lothar's grand feast held at noon the next day, and more and more nobles took the initiative to join in the later period of the operation, it was not unaffected by this battle.

　　 But in fact, this incident was actually in Lothar, no, it should be said that it was in the war room's prediction.

　　 Essien Island does not have the intelligence awareness of Lothar, and because of the hindrance of information transmission from afar, it is naturally not possible for Lothar to use clues like Lothar to master the hidden military mobilization of the Marquis from late June to early July.

　　 When the two sides were preparing for war almost at the same time in June, Thorne and Ruchefeller once again gathered a considerable number of troops.

　　 At its peak, the number of the Duchy of Thornburg once reached more than 8,000. Although the defense mission for other places was reduced in the end, the total force remained at the level of 5,000 or 6,000.

　　 However, because there was no clear definition of the military force transfer of the Marquis, after the incident of the Earl of Qatar by Zaimeng, in order to prevent Ruchefele from repeating his position, Viscount Ridlen urgently dispatched two thousand five hundred soldiers from the duchy there.

As a result, the Principality Army of Ruchefele reached 4,000 men, suppressing the former Earl’s Army and Ruchefele’s army with a total of nearly 3,000 men, and half-forced the Viscount Ruchefellert Tenpetto. Stand firmly in the Duke’s camp.

　　 But the defenders who stayed in Thornburg had only three thousand people left. As far as Lothar knew about the surrounding area of ​​Yelvesar Castle, the first Marquis had gathered more than fifteen thousand troops.

　　 The ratio of five to one.

　　 Even if a part of the defensive force is left, it will be more than four times that of Thornburg, and the strengths of the two sides can be seen at a glance. Especially when most of the Marquis army is standing elite, and the Duchy's army guarding Thornburg still has a large number of militiamen.

　　According to the information received by Lothar's follow-up, this battle is really a rookie.

　　 The one defending the city seemed to have never expected the enemy to come so fast, and was hurriedly guarding the isolated city. The reserve materials for city defense are also conventional rolling logs and rubbing stones, and the quantity is not very sufficient.

　　 The siege party is not much better, except for the crossbow, the ladder, and the stone thrower. Viscount Wauchi, who commanded the siege, did not care about the issue of whether his troops could be deployed. After setting up his formation to surround Thornburg, he staged an entire army's offensive scene.

　　 There are no competitions for peripheral strategic points, persuasion to surrender before the siege, and tactics of exhaustion.

　　 Persist in four days and break through Fort Thorne in four days, thanks to the "credit" of both offense and defense.

　　 In any case, the fall of Thornburg immediately changed the situation of the entire Principality. The island of Essien, which was supposed to be evenly matched with Houb, was suddenly at an absolute disadvantage.

　　 If Qatar is still in the Duke’s camp, the impact of Thornburg’s fall is actually not very big, it's not a big deal to change a few more defensive points.

　　 But when Zaimeng stood behind the rebels, most of the aristocratic territory belonging to the Qatar family fell into a state of swing, turning a deaf ear to the orders issued by the Viscount Hollum and turning a blind eye to it.

　　 Thornburg fell at this time, almost cutting off all the archduke's tentacles on the inland territory. Only one Ruchefeld Fort was deeply surrounded by the enemy, and in the battle of multi-party command, it was impossible to even attack the town of Nuozkan, which was empty on the line and defense.

　　 This very severe situation towards the Grand Duke also shocked Zaimeng and Havana who were accompanying the runners. Philbien finally ceased to remain silent and publicly stated that he was standing in the "campaign of the Principality" and frequently made some actions on the line of contact with the Marquis in an attempt to further contain the Marquis's forces.

　　 and Zaimeng contracted the power he could control to the south in the name of "preparing for the attack of the Principality," and barely opened up a weakly guarded channel deep inland for the Viscount Hollum.

　　 Compared with these two people, Lothar has the most confidence in Essien Island.

　　 The current situation seems to be quite unfavorable to the Duke, but it is still far from exhausted.

　　 Rather, this is just the beginning of forcing the Perth family to exert force.

　　 Counting the entire Principality of Perth, the number of standing troops is about 150,000, and the ratio of civilians to soldiers can reach twenty to one.

　　 Is it reasonable for the standing force to reach such a scale in this era?

　　 is very reasonable.

　　 Among the 150,000 standing troops, except for the Paz family, the other nobles have more than 20,000 Rainbow Pass guards. The power of the Marquis, which controls one-third of the population of the Principality, has about 30,000, and the Qatari family and scattered nobles have more than 10,000.

　　 The remaining 80,000 troops are firmly controlled by the Perth family, which also owns one-third of the population.

　　 Is it normal for a civilian-to-soldier ratio close to ten to one in non-war time?

　　 The answer is still normal.

　　 The Principality of Perth is not an agricultural country that relies solely on heaven for food. She is a maritime power that both businessmen and farmers grasp together, together.

　　 During the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there was a term used to describe the middle-class vassal country, called "the country of a thousand vehicles".

　　 And Perth’s title among the nations of the Mindai World is the "Country of Thousand Sails".

　　The navy of the Principality has more than 300 large and small warships, and the number of naval soldiers is just ten times the number of warships. In terms of maritime power alone, Perth ranks sixth among all three continents ~ www.readwn.com~ This power is only in the hands of the Grand Duke.

　　 Coupled with an army of nearly 50,000 people, the Paz family is indeed the most powerful force in the Principality.

　　 And so far, the power that the Grand Duke has invested in places like Thorne and Ruchefeller is only five thousand army plus some small noble troops.

　　 Relying on the flexible tactical choices brought about by sea mobility, the Perth family, which has not weakened much, still has a lot of opportunities to reverse the situation.

　　 This point, after the Marquis Army broke through Thornburg, did not turn around to deal with Ruchefeller, but hurriedly turned around to attack the Duchy Army led by Viscount Hollum, which was able to prove it sideways.

　　 Therefore, Lothar still firmly implemented his original plan and continued to remove the obstacles to Qatar City.

　　 As for the thing that he did not expect, it was actually after the Battle of Thornburg that the Marquis actively launched a diplomatic offensive against the nobles of the principality. With the power of breaking through Thorne, many neutral nobles have indeed joined the Marquis camp, and the nobles who originally stood on the Grand Duke's side were also shaken, which filled the situation where the Grand Duke had fallen into a disadvantage.

　　 Lothar also ushered in a marquis envoy.

　　 But naturally he would not be shaken by the messenger's rhetoric. Lothar had only one thought about the messenger's visit.

　　 "The Marquis of Karl Karst is getting old."
