will of the planet

Chapter 58: Chapter 87: Progress

Under such strong firepower, the army of the Middle Kingdom directly collapsed, leaving only a small part of the reserve force still resisting tenaciously, which did not change the trend of defeat.

As the Tianhan line of infantry approached step by step, there would be no moment for Zhongdi soldiers to die.

Finally, they couldn't hold on any longer and were driven out of the green forest area.

Naturally, the commander of the Tianhan army could not let these soldiers go. As long as these tens of thousands of soldiers were eliminated, it would not be so easy for the Middle Kingdom to recover.

The two sides soon launched a fierce battle in the mountains dozens of kilometers east of the green forest.

The purpose of Tianhan Kingdom is to completely wipe out the opponent, and almost all its troops have been invested, while the Middle Kingdom wants to take advantage of the terrain to counterattack Tianhan Kingdom.

Each has its own purpose, and once it fails, it will be beyond redemption.

The battle lasted for a full week, and it has to be said that the soldiers of the Middle Kingdom are really hard bones.

The mountain changed hands repeatedly, with great loss on both sides.

The 3 troops invested by the Tianhan Kingdom lost a total of nearly 20 people these days, while the 10 troops of the Middle Kingdom Kingdom suffered [-] casualties.

Originally, the proportion of casualties was higher, but the army of the Middle Kingdom took advantage of the terrain and made the three legions of the Tianhan Kingdom pay a considerable price.

This was met with bloody revenge by the commander, General Huang. Dozens of rifled guns were transported up and bombarded those hills indiscriminately.

The trenches above were directly blown to pieces, and the infantry of the center ground line inside was also bloody.

However, the firepower of these rifled guns is not very strong, and it is still very difficult to cut off the entire mountain. It cannot destroy the enemy's position, and it is still very troublesome to attack.

But this situation didn't last long, and maintaining a huge army required logistical support.

General Huang had sent a small group of troops around the mountains a week ago. Their task was to set back the logistical forces of the Central Army as much as possible.

After a week, this small group of troops dealt a serious blow to the logistics of the Zhongdi army. They needed to pay a lot of money to transport supplies to the front line.

Even if a large number of troops are sent to escort them, they will still be attacked, hindering the efficiency of transporting materials. Their efficiency was not high at first, and now it has become even lower.

As a result, the central ground troops on the front line began to suffer from food shortages and ammunition shortages. Coupled with the indiscriminate bombing of the Tianhan Kingdom on a Monday, under such circumstances of no hope of victory, the morale of many soldiers has already appeared. question.

Many troops have begun to refuse orders to serve as the main defense force. They know that whoever goes up is going to die. No matter how the Zhongdi officers block the news, after such a long time, the soldiers at the bottom will still be able to know.

Even many basic military officers have the idea of ​​war weariness. In their view, the enemy they are facing is too terrifying, and it is impossible to win. Why should they guard such a broken mountain.

The soldiers at the bottom don't care how important this hill is, they don't want to use their lives to guard a dead area.

At this time, the main attacking army of the Tianhan Kingdom launched an attack again, and the defending troops collapsed at the touch of a touch, leaving only a small group still desperately resisting.

This small group of troops was indeed brave, but their actions were of no use.

Their friendly forces have already withdrawn, and they will not send any more support. It is simply whimsical to independently resist the Tianhan army.

In less than half an hour, this dangerous place, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was finally captured.

The Kingdom of Tianhan advanced triumphantly all the way, and even stood in several towns in Muxia City, and it will be able to occupy Muxia City soon.

……

In the capital of the Middle Kingdom, in the palace of the city, the battle report from the front line finally reached here.

King Charles and various nobles in front of the palace sat at the council table and discussed with serious expressions the information they had received these days, and the atmosphere of the entire palace became solidified with the arrival of the information.

The 20-strong army they spent huge sums of money to build was disbanded in just a few months, and the remaining troops were less than 5.

Although soldiers can be recruited from civilians, these recruits also need training, otherwise they are cannon fodder.

Of course, the most important thing is that the entire national treasury has been unable to make ends meet.

The national treasury does not have money, but all the big nobles on the parliamentary table are rich owners. As long as they are willing to pay, the army can still be maintained.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming so fiercely this time, we are invincible, we should seek peace." Duke Sha Yi said.

He is the most important person in the room, and even if King Charles has any important decisions, he must refer to his opinion.

Hearing this sentence, Charles' face froze. He naturally knew to ask for peace, but asking for peace over and over again, didn't it appear that he, the king, was too weak.

The other nobles didn't consider Shire's ideas, and responded to Duke Shayi's proposal one after another. Only a few nobles objected, and some remained neutral.

There is no way that Charles can only agree to seek peace. He can become king, but it is the result of the support of these nobles.

This also made him tied his hands and feet now, and he could still make decisions on small matters. For such a big matter, the ideas of various nobles must be considered.

Now the strength shown by the Tianhan Kingdom is too strong. If they are allowed to continue to capture it, they will capture Muxia City.

Using Muxia City as a fortress can threaten the entire Middle Kingdom, so how can those nobles not panic.

Now it can only rely on seeking peace, abandoning part of its interests, and looking for opportunities to compete with Tianhan Kingdom.

After confirming the summation, Charles naturally would not just explain that, as the supreme commander Bill who had lost the battle, he must be punished.

Just judging from the information obtained, Bill seems to have died on the battlefield.

In this way, it would be difficult for Charles to attack him. Even if Bill made such a big 'mistake' as the supreme commander, he still died heroically.

However, Bill's family will not escape this catastrophe. Although they will not be exterminated, suppression is necessary. After a few years, Bill's family will disappear.

The other nobles also had no objection. The defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops was a serious crime, and it was impossible for no one to bear it.

The council ended soon, and Charles looked heavy, not knowing what to say. These were his most useless years.

In order to ensure the success of this summation, in addition to giving away a large amount of money, even his daughter must be compensated.

It's more like being a hostage to the enemy than marrying far away. Marrying in the past can only be regarded as death.

Shire's eldest daughter is already married. This eldest daughter is very smart and knows how to protect herself, so there is no need to worry too much.

Not only that, but the eldest daughter also quickly gained the trust of King Oss, and obtained many useful technologies from him.

But Charles had only one young daughter left, not to mention being young, she was not as scheming as the eldest daughter, and she liked him very much.

This is also the reason why Charles is unwilling to seek peace, but there are some things that he can't do just because he wants...
