Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 131
On the morning of August 3012, [-] in the Tang calendar, Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Corps of the Sharad Royal Army, arrived at Yanling City in the Southern Jinan Province of the Cangyu Empire by car.

Rock Ridge City is just a county seat, but in recent days, in newspapers from all over the world, Rock Ridge City has made headlines almost every day. The Royal Sharad Army, known as the second army in the world, has five infantry regiments and two independent infantry The division, on the plain north of Yanling City, encountered the encirclement of the Su family army and was wiped out.

While countries around the world were shocked by this, some countries were very happy. For example, the Noomi Empire, the neighbor to the west of the Sharad Empire, many people spontaneously launched various celebrations for this event. It can be seen that the Sharad Empire and the The Noomi Empire not only has hatred at the national level, but even the people on both sides are in a state of mutual hostility.

In order to negotiate with the Su family army as soon as possible, the Sharad Empire directly ordered the head of the Second Infantry Corps, Slava, who was leading another reinforcement and hastily retreated, to rush to Yanling City immediately with a radio transmitter.

At this time, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Su Family Army Army, was in Yanling City. He Yunfei had already been authorized by Su Yi to start negotiations with the Sharad Empire on behalf of the Su Family Army.

"Earl Slava, on behalf of the Su Family Army, I welcome you to Yanling City." In a conference room of Yanling City's county government, He Yunfei smiled at Slava, the commander of the Second Infantry Corps of the Royal Sharad Army. Said.

In addition to being a legion commander, Slava is also a hereditary earl of the Sharad Empire. Today, the royal families of several major powers in the world, including the royal family of the Sharad Empire, have canceled the right of hereditary nobles to own private armies, but In the royal armies of various countries, many senior generals are held by hereditary nobles.

After the translator recounted He Yunfei's words in Sharad, Slava smiled wryly and said, "General He, to be honest, I am very unwilling to come to this sad place of our Royal Sharad Army, but the emperor's order is hard to break." , I hope to reach an agreement with your army as soon as possible to avoid more officers and soldiers of the Royal Sharad Army from returning home alive.”

He Yunfei smiled and said: "Earl Slava, our Su family army is also very sincere about this negotiation. Now the Su family army has temporarily stopped the campaign against Dingxin City and Anzhou City. loss."

This time, the negotiations between the Sharad Empire and the Su Family Army went very smoothly, and there were not many differences between the two parties. In the end, He Yunfei and Slava only took two days to finalize a truce agreement that both sides agreed with.

This armistice agreement stipulates that the main force of the Royal Sharad Army must withdraw from the territory of the Cangyu Empire before October [-]st. Among them, no more than one brigade is reserved, and after the Su family army captures a certain provincial capital or the capital Cangyu City, the Sharad Empire must unconditionally hand over the concession to the Su family army, a brigade of the Royal Sharad Army in the concession, and then also Will be withdrawn to the territory of the Sharad Empire.

The two sides will also unconditionally release each other's prisoners of war, including the officers and soldiers of the Sharad Royal Navy captured by the Su Family Army's independent fleet. In addition, the Su Family Army will make way in Dingxin City and Anzhou City to release the five besieged soldiers of the Sharad Royal Army. The infantry regiment departed.

The Sharad Empire must assure the Su Family Army that after signing the armistice agreement, it cannot provide military and economic assistance to the Cangyu Empire in any form.

In the end, the Sharad Empire will pay the Su Family Army 5000 million sand dollars as food expenses for hundreds of thousands of Sharad Empire prisoners of war. In fact, it is the war compensation from the Sharad Empire to the Su Family Army. Turn war reparations into food expenses for prisoners of war.

To the relief of the Sharad Empire, the Su Family Army did not involve the interests of the Sharad Empire in the Liuyun Empire during this negotiation.

After the Su Family Army and the Sharad Empire officially signed an armistice agreement, the respective units of the Sharad Royal Army in the Cangyu Empire began to withdraw in an orderly manner from the Cangyu Empire. The five infantry regiments also began to retreat from these two cities, and were preparing to withdraw all the way back to the territory of the Sharad Empire.

At this time, there were only less than 90 people left in the five infantry regiments, and more than 60 officers and soldiers of the Royal Sharad Army were buried in Dingxin City and Anzhou City.

After the Sharad Empire handed over [-] million silver dollars of food expenses for the prisoners of war to the Su Family Army, hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war from the Sharad Empire were also sent back to the Sharad Empire in batches by the Su Family Army.

Although the Sharad Empire has surrendered to the Su family's army, the battle of the Su family's army in the Cangyu Empire has not ended. Under Su Yi's order, the Su family's army of millions of troops divided into seven groups and continued to advance towards the hinterland of the Cangyu Empire. .

Even the Sharad Royal Army with well-equipped weapons and strong fighting will is no match for the Su family army, let alone the Cangyu Empire army with outdated weapons and weak fighting will?
The army troops of the Seventh Route Su Family Army can be said to be all the way like a broken bamboo, advancing very fast, hardly encountering too strong resistance from the Cangyu Empire army. Eighteen provinces, with a total area of ​​more than 3012 million square kilometers.

As the largest country in the Eastern Continent, the Cangyu Empire has a total of 52 provinces, with a total land area of ​​about 800 million square kilometers. That is to say, by the end of September, the Su family army has occupied one-third of the Cangyu Empire. .

On the afternoon of September 3012, 28 in the Tang Dynasty, in a large hall of the Sharad Empire Palace, Emperor Herris frowned and said to Prime Minister Shulik: "If our Sharad Empire does not provide weapons and ammunition to the Cangyu Empire, according to the Su Family Army With such an advancing speed, perhaps in less than three months, the entire territory of the Cangyu Empire will fall into the hands of the Su family army."

Prime Minister Shulik said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in the truce agreement with the Su Family Army, our Sharad Empire has assured the Su Family Army that we cannot provide military and economic assistance to the Cangyu Empire in any way. Launched a large-scale offensive, but the Su family army has gathered at least 200 million army troops in the border area adjacent to our Sharad Empire. I feel that it is better not to let the Su family army find any excuses, so as not to let our Sharad Empire fall into war again. swirl."

After a pause, Prime Minister Shulik continued: "And the combat power of the Cangyu Empire's army is really disappointing. Facing the attack of the Su's army, they are almost defeated at the first touch. Many of the Cangyu Empire's troops have just encountered the vanguard of the Su's army. I chose to surrender collectively. Even if our Sharad Empire sent 1000 million breech-loading single-shot rifles and other weapons and ammunition to the Cangyu Empire for free according to the plan, at most it would only be the time for the Su family army to capture the entire Cangyu Empire. Go back a few months and it might not even have that effect."

Emperor Herris sighed and said: "It seems that after our Sharad Empire, we will have another powerful neighbor. This is really bad news for our Sharad Empire."

Prime Minister Shulik then said: "Your Majesty, through this battle with the Su's Army, we can see that our Royal Sharad Army has a lot of problems, whether it is in terms of firepower or in the establishment of troops, so my minister I feel that our Sharad Royal Army should carry out some reforms, otherwise, if we fight against the Su Family Army in the future, our Sharad Royal Army may still suffer."

Emperor Herris immediately nodded and said: "I also think that we should make some appropriate adjustments to our Royal Army of Sharad. This war with the Su Family Army can be said to have exposed many shortcomings of our Royal Army of Sharad. Let someone bring Valerian over, and the three of us will study first, how to strengthen the combat effectiveness of our Sharad Royal Army!"

Not long after, Valerian, Minister of War of the Sharad Empire, came to the hall. Hearing that Emperor Herris said that he was looking for him to study how to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Royal Army of Sharad, Valerian immediately introduced: "Your Majesty , Prime Minister, our Ministry of the Army has learned about the establishment of the Su Family Army, and found that the Su Family Army has adopted a brand new organization. The most basic unit of the Su Family Army is the infantry squad, and each infantry squad has 15 soldiers..."

Valerian then carefully introduced the formation and firepower equipment adopted by the Su family army to Emperor Herris and Prime Minister Shulik, and finally Valerian said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have to admit that the Su family army The establishment adopted is more reasonable than the current establishment of various countries. The heavy firepower equipment of one infantry division can even exceed that of three infantry divisions. Therefore, I have a suggestion, which is to imitate or learn from the Sujia army's establishment and firepower equipment. An adaptation of our Royal Sharad Army."

Emperor Herris showed a smile on his face and said: "Valerian, I found that you, the Minister of War, are becoming more and more competent. Your idea actually coincides with mine. Since our Royal Army of Sharad was defeated As for the Su Family Army, then we must learn from the Su Family Army and use its strengths to make up for the shortcomings of our Royal Sharad Army, so that we can defeat the Su Family Army, a formidable enemy, in the next match."

Minister of War Valerian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Now the Su family army is invincible in the Cangyu Empire. If there are no accidents, our neighbors to the east of the Sharad Empire will be replaced by the Su family army. Sooner or later, we will The Royal Sharad Army will fight against the Su Family Army again, and in order to win the next match, it is imperative to find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of our Royal Sharad Army."
