Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 335 Ice Lion Kingdom's Avoidance of War
The battle between the Ice Lion Kingdom and the Blood Wolf Kingdom in the southwest of the Great Qin Kingdom caused huge losses to the armies of both sides, and the number of casualties was shocking.

By the end of November in 2538 in the divine calendar, the number of deaths in the army of the ice lion country exceeded 180 million, and that of the army of the blood wolf country exceeded 230 million.

Although the armies of both sides suffered heavy losses, the intensity of this battle has not decreased in any way, and the end of this war is still far away.

In the headquarters of the Ice Lion Army on the front line in the southwestern region, Marshal Kayano asked in a deep voice to the deputy commander, Army General Gelu: "How long will it take for the new batch of fighter planes from the Air Force to enter the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom?" ?”

Gelu said: "Marshal, the [-] fighter jets and [-] bombers dispatched by the Air Force will be able to enter the military airports in northern Yongkang Province and eastern Qiannan Province in about three or four days."

Kayano frowned, "Couldn't the Air Force deploy more fighter jets into the southwest of the Great Qin State? Currently in the northern part of Yongkang Province and the eastern part of Qiannan Province, our Ice Lion Air Force has only insufficient Five hundred fighters, if there are not enough fighters to compete with the blood wolf country's air force for air supremacy, our ice lion country's army will have to pay more casualties on the battlefield."

Gru smiled wryly and said: "Marshal, the Air Force has lost more than 2000 fighter planes on the battlefield in the southwest of the Great Qin Kingdom, including more than [-] fighter jets. The battlefield in the region is already very difficult, and many of the fighter jets have just been produced by domestic aircraft manufacturers."

The strength of the blood wolf country's air force has always been ranked first among all air force powers in the world, while the ice lion country's air force is only ranked fourth in the world.

In this battle between the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country, the air force of the Ice Lion Country was almost completely suppressed by the Blood Wolf Country's air force. , has been on the defensive.

Kayano sighed and said: "Actually, the army of the Blood Wolf Country is nothing to worry about. If there is no Air Force of the Blood Wolf Country, I would have organized a large-scale counterattack long ago, and I might have driven the army of the Blood Wolf Country out of Daqin long ago. In the southwestern part of the country, it is precisely because of the existence of the blood wolf country's air force that our ice lion country's troops in the north of Yongkang Province and the east of Qiannan Province have to remain on the defensive."

Compared with the air forces of the two countries, the armies of the ice lion country and the blood wolf country have just reversed. The army of the ice lion country has always been ranked first in the world, while the army of the blood wolf country has been ranked fourth.

In the battle between the ground forces of the two countries, even with the strong support of the air force, the army of the blood wolf country still could not take advantage of it.

Gelu sighed and said: "But this time, the Blood Wolf Country is determined to fight to the death with our Ice Lion Country. According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, now forty troops of the Blood Wolf Country's army have entered Daqin In the southwestern region of the country, and in the blood wolf country, more than 200 million recruits have been added to the forty armies one after another, making the forty armies basically at full strength. According to the establishment of the blood wolf army, four Ten armies equals 600 million people!"

Before the war between the Blood Wolf Country and the Ice Lion Country broke out, 32 armies of the Blood Wolf Country’s army had entered the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom. The eight armies were transferred to the southwestern region of the Great Qin State.

Due to the combat effectiveness of the army of the blood wolf country, there is still a big gap compared with the army of the ice lion country, so the blood wolf country hopes to win by numbers and drive the army of the ice lion country out of the southwestern region of the Great Qin Kingdom. The southwestern region of the Qin State increased its troops. As of the end of November in 2538 in the divine calendar, the total strength of the Blood Wolf Army in the southwestern region of the Great Qin State still exceeded 600 million.

A cold light flashed in Kayano's eyes, "Our Ice Lion Kingdom will never back down this time. At present, the total strength of our Ice Lion Army in northern Yongkang Province and eastern Qiannan Province remains at 370 million. Above, and within a month, there will be at least ten newly-formed Janitorial Mechanized Infantry Divisions and thirty newly-formed Garrison Infantry Divisions that will join the battlefield in the southwest region. 100 million supplementary soldiers."

Originally, at the beginning of the war, the Ice Lion Army had only about 280 million troops in the north of Yongkang Province and the east of Qiannan Province in the southwest of the Great Qin Kingdom. Army troops also joined the battlefield in the Southwest.

And as this war became more and more tragic, the country of Ice Lions successively mobilized more than 100 million supplementary soldiers into the northern part of Yongkang Province and the eastern part of Qiannan Province in the southwestern part of the Great Qin State. The various divisions of the Ice Lion Army will supplement.

Gelu hesitated for a moment and said: "Marshal, although the army of the blood wolf country still has some advantages in the battlefield in the southwestern region of the Great Qin Kingdom, I am not worried about the war in the southwest region. The blood wolf country is fighting desperately here, and it is very likely that others will reap the benefits, such as the Yueyang front army under the command of Su Yi in the Great Qin country."

In order to defeat the army of the blood wolf country on the battlefield in the southwestern region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the Ice Lion Kingdom has continuously mobilized its army troops to enter the southwest region, and even mobilized many guard mechanized infantry divisions and defensive infantry divisions from the central region. Many of the country's army units in the central region are to guard against the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command.

Kayano nodded slightly and said: "I also know that the fierce battle between our Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country in the southwest of the Great Qin Kingdom will probably benefit Su Yi, but our Ice Lion Country has already been put on fire. If we don’t drive the army of the Blood Wolf Kingdom out of the southwest region of the Great Qin Kingdom, our Ice Lion Kingdom won’t be able to jump off the fire.”

Gelu immediately said: "I'm afraid that Su Yi will take advantage of the battle between our ice lion country and blood wolf country to launch an attack on the occupied area of ​​our ice lion country army. According to the information from the intelligence department, Su Yi is in After the expansion of the army of about 200 million just now, another 400 million army troops will be expanded immediately. When the formation of the 400 million army troops is completed, the total strength of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command will be as high as 800 million. The troops, equipped with a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, are not weak in combat effectiveness."

Kayano shook his head helplessly and said, "Before we drive the army of the Blood Wolf Kingdom out of the southwestern region of the Great Qin Kingdom, we don't have the strength to deal with Su Yi at all. We can only focus on defense for the time being."

At this time, in the hearts of Kayano and Gelu, they only regarded the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command as a strong enemy of the Ice Lion Army, and did not consider at all that they still occupy four provinces in the southeast region and have more than 500 million army troops. The current government of the Great Qin State, so the two did not mention the more than 500 million Great Qin Army troops in the southeast region.

"Marshal, but our Ice Lion Army is around the area controlled by Su Yi's army, and there are only less than 120 million troops in total. Even if these troops are the elite of our Ice Lion Army, they want to block the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command. It is not an easy task to attack, once Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army launches an attack at this time, it is very likely that the remaining two and a half provinces in the central area of ​​the Great Qin Kingdom will also be taken away by Su Yi." Lu said with a serious face.

Kayano sighed and said: "In fact, regarding the current situation in the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom, our Ice Lions Cabinet has reached a consensus, that is, we would rather have nothing to gain in the war with the Great Qin Kingdom this time. , and must not be cheap to the blood wolf country. Once the Great Qin country falls into the hands of the blood wolf country, then the strength of the blood wolf country will surge in all aspects. Blood Wolf Country."

Kayano's words immediately made General Gelu, the deputy commander of the army, suddenly realize that he has been wondering why the cabinet has been indifferent to the expansion of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command recently. It turned out that the cabinet had made such a plan.

In order to prevent the Blood Wolf Country from occupying the Great Qin Country, the Ice Lion Country would rather give up the huge benefits it has obtained, even if it retreats from the territory of the Great Qin Country.

Gelu frowned and said: "If we give up the interests in the territory of Great Qin, the loss for our Ice Lion Country will be too great. In this war against Great Qin, our Ice Lion Country has also paid a lot. paid a considerable price.”

Kayano said: "Even if we can't annex Great Qin this time, our Ice Lion Country will still have a chance next time, but if Great Qin falls into the hands of the Blood Wolf Country, our Ice Lion Country will not only lose the number one power in the world. The throne will always face the threat of the invasion of the blood wolf country, and the blood wolf country that has annexed the Great Qin country will definitely surpass our ice lion country in terms of overall strength."

Gelu opened his mouth, but didn't say what he was thinking. According to the situation in the Great Qin Kingdom, if the Ice Lion Kingdom does not change its current strategy, Su Yi, the commander of the Yueyang Front Army, is likely to become the new leader of the Great Qin Kingdom. And after Su Yi became the new leader of the Great Qin Kingdom, will the Ice Lion Kingdom still have a chance to take the Great Qin Kingdom into its pocket again?
On the night of November 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, in the city defense command of Yueyang City, Su Yi sighed to Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the Yueyang Front Army: "According to the information transferred by the Ministry of National Defense, the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country are On the battlefield in the southwest region, it can be said that the fighting was very tragic. Both sides suffered great losses, and both sides continued to invest more troops in the battlefield in the southwest region. , there is no winner or loser."

Sun Guodong said loudly: "Commander, after our Yueyang Front Army took over the entire territory of Lushan Province and Xiling Province, we immediately began to form the temporary Seventh Army, the temporary Eighth Army, the temporary Ninth Army, and the temporary Tenth Army. , Temporary No.11 Army and Temporary No.12 Army, due to the enthusiasm of the people in Lushan Province and Xiling Province to join the army, in about half a month, these six new temporary armies will basically It can reach full formation. By mid-January 2539 in the divine calendar, the six new temporary formations after simple training should be able to be drawn into the battlefield. At that time, can we take advantage of the main force of the Ice Lion Army and be restrained? Opportunities in the southwest region, and expand the control area of ​​our Yueyang Front Army?"

Su Yi glanced down at the military map on the table, then raised his head and said: "According to the current strength of our Yueyang Front Army, even if the formation of the six new temporary armies has not been completed, we can take the opportunity to attack other provinces and counties in the central region. And the odds are great.”

"What does the commander mean, to launch an attack as soon as possible?"

"Currently, the total strength of the Ice Lion Army in Ludong Province, Song'an Province, and most of Sui'an Province in the central region may be around 180 million. The three armies attack Song'an Province, and the temporary Sixth Army attacks the remaining half of Sui'an Province, there is no need to wait for the formation of the six new temporary armies."

The central region of the Great Qin Kingdom includes a total of six provinces and Yueyang City. The six provinces are Lushan Province, Xiling Province, Longxing Province, Suian Province, Ludong Province and Song'an Province.

Most of the troops of the Ice Lion Army defend against Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army are gathered in Ludong Province, Song'an Province, and Sui'an Province near the borders of the Yueyang Front Army's control area. The [-] garrisons are basically garrison infantry divisions mainly composed of human soldiers.

The garrison infantry divisions of the Ice Lion Kingdom, which are mainly human soldiers, basically have no combat effectiveness when facing the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command. On the contrary, they will add a lot of troops to the Yueyang Front Army.

In terms of military affairs, Sun Guodong almost obeyed Su Yi's words. Hearing Su Yi's attack plan, he immediately nodded and said, "Then I will give you the command of the temporary second army, the temporary third army and the temporary sixth army immediately." Combat orders, strive to launch an offensive against the Ice Lion Army in Ludong Province, Song'an Province, and Suian Province as soon as possible!"

On December 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Ice Lion Army entrenched in Ludong Province, Song'an Province, and most of Sui'an Province.

The Ice Lion Army stationed in the above three provinces, after a stubborn resistance, began to choose to retreat one after another.

The reason why the Ice Lion Army retreated was that on the one hand, it was because the Yueyang Army's offensive was so fierce that the Ice Lion Army stationed in the above three provinces could not withstand it at all; The retreat order of the Lion Kingdom Army Department.

Before the war in the southwestern region of the Great Qin Kingdom is over, the Ice Lion Kingdom is not going to fight to the death with Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army, and wants to use space in exchange for time.

With the ice lion army avoiding the war, by mid-January 2539 in the divine calendar, the six provinces in the central region of the Great Qin Kingdom and the capital Yueyang City had all been surrendered to the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi's command. The controlled population also reached 3000 million.
