Who taught him magic?

Why retreat then?

Why retreat with so many casualties?

Directly facing the casualties, the two supporting magic groups were pressed up, and then the guarding legions were pressed up.

No matter how big the casualties are, as long as we can capture the royal capital, there won't be such a bad impact and it won't be as embarrassing as it is now.

"Recall the cavalry regiment, the strength of Lundrona's troops is beyond imagination!"

The evaluation of some officers is indeed correct. This person will be too aggressive when he has an advantage, and he will also be too conservative because of a little problem.

Ladd now even wants to recall the cavalry regiment, fearing that such a unit will be eaten.

The deputy commander couldn't help it and said loudly: "Commander, it's not necessary!

Our cavalry regiment can play a very big role. Lundrona's troops have exposed a very big problem. They are not good at plain battles and encounters.

They have been preparing in the capital for such a long time, so they can cause us such great losses.

Their main force in the western region is only the Second Regiment. I suggest that the cavalry regiment attack the city of Mariga.

Force their second regiment to come to support, then crush them on the plains! "

Ladd's eyes lit up. This method was similar to what he thought. It was indeed a very good method.

"Not bad!"

A magic regiment may not be able to completely defeat the second regiment on the plains, but the cavalry regiment can.

Do we need to send some support?

No!

We can't divide our troops!

There are very few magic troops on hand. If two magic groups are separated, the opponent might dare to eat them!

Ladd sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that some officers would think that he had no courage.

I didn’t have the courage when it was time to make up my mind.

Different locations have different concerns.

Didn't he know that he could attack with force at that time despite the damage?

But the casualties will be very, very heavy, and it may not be possible to win the capital of Leo... This approach is actually to force a wave when the war is not going well!

Of course everything will be fine if you win, but what if you fail to win?

The consequences will be very serious!

Ladd thought he needed to think about it.

As a commander, you shouldn't gamble with the fate of the army... He felt that what he did was not wrong, and the officer who questioned it was just that he was not good enough and could not see the heights he could see.

"Legion Commander, I suggest asking His Majesty the King to send us another support force, at least one thousand to two thousand magicians.

Also, at least one gryphon regiment is required!

They don't have enough gryphon troops, and the air may be their Achilles' heel!

In addition, the collected former Leo troops were also brought here to consume Lundrona's troops.

I think we should slow down next and stop thinking about winning here as quickly as possible.

Don't they want to keep this place?Then we'll trap them here.

Next, we may consider how to eliminate the second regiment of Lundrona, capture the Western Region, and trap the Royal Capital to death! "

The deputy commander made a lot of suggestions at this time, and many officers nodded thoughtfully.

Really no problem!

It’s just a change from fighting quickly to seeking stability!

Abandon all ideas such as winning in half a month.

Without strong support, it is absolutely impossible to capture this place in a short time.

Commander Ladd nodded in agreement, he thought so too.

……

King Leo's Capital

At this moment, Green still felt a bit regretful that he did not completely consume a magic group.

In the first battle, Lundrona's troops also suffered heavy losses.

The defense area in charge of the third regiment did not have much pressure, and their backup troops were not even used.

The artillery unit did suffer some casualties, with five artillery pieces destroyed, more than a dozen casualties, and more than 20 wounded.

The first regiment suffered the most casualties in the first battle. Seven magic cannons were destroyed, nearly 30 people were killed, and there were many wounded.

The number of infantry casualties was also close to three hundred.

If the casualties of the guard regiment are not included, the battle loss ratio is very, very beautiful.

The supporting guard regiment joined the battle at the last minute, but suffered more than one-third of the first regiment's casualties.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers of the guard group are still much worse than those of the first group... They can suffer such heavy casualties even when they have an advantage.

If it were a disadvantage, I can't imagine how many casualties there would be.

The number of casualties in the first regiment from the beginning to the end was only close to [-]. The number of casualties in the final guard regiment was over [-]...

In addition, under the initial multiple rounds of magic rain, many soldiers died because they could not escape in time.

There are air-raid shelters in the trenches outside the city, and there are also air-raid shelters built inside the city... Since we know that the opponent has means such as magic rain strikes, it is impossible to prepare off-site and not prepare on-site.

But even so, the performance of the guard group was still a bit disappointing.

Many casualties are avoidable.

"The combat strength of the first regiment needs to be replenished. Remove it from the guard regiment!"

"As for the magic artillery, both personnel and weapons are also drawn from the guard regiment!"

Green said this to the two commanders.

To put it simply, it is to mobilize second-line troops to supplement the combat power of the main force.

"Yes!"

"understand!"

The two commanders nodded and said.

"The most important question now is, will the French side continue to increase their troops? If the French side sends another magic army, we may not be able to stop it... Two magic groups are still too difficult!"

William said hesitantly: "Will Suen provide support?"

"The Suen side should deploy heavy troops on the border to put pressure on the French side, so that they don't dare to randomly deploy magic troops to support here!

In addition, we can also provide some other assistance! "

Professor Si replied: "There should be hope for additional magic troops.

In addition to the confrontation with France, other borders are also facing threats... The main force will definitely not be able to mobilize to support Leo.

Therefore, the council may temporarily establish several magic groups, plus an ordinary legion, to support Leo! "

Professor Si originally wanted to say that he would not send troops to support them, but their performance in the first battle was indeed very good, so Su En might give it a try.

It is true that the main force cannot be mobilized, but one or two magic groups can be temporarily formed, plus a guard army to support Leo.

In the final analysis, Su En is still hesitant.

Did not make up my mind.

No decision has been made on whether to go to war.

If it weren't for the fact that Lundrona's troops were struggling, the pressure on Suen would be even greater.

Nowadays, it is very good to be able to give symbolic support.

And they might have some small thoughts, such as continuing to bleed Fran here.

The reason why they dare not fight a war to destroy the country and can only fight in a small way like this. Green believes that there are two reasons.

The first is the great magician!

The great magician in France is a very big threat. If the great magician cannot be eliminated, the war to destroy the country will be impossible.

The second is because France's war potential is not small.

Now that neither side has reached a life-and-death moment, they are not recruiting magicians into the army regardless of the cost.

For Su En, the best situation is to completely destroy France in one battle.

But can't do it!

The second best case scenario is that the war will leave France unable to recover for decades.

This can be done, but Su En has been reluctant to make up his mind.

This is also the disadvantage of not centralizing power.

Su En is also worried that he will not be able to recover from being beaten for decades... so he is unwilling to break out into a war easily.

There was nothing we could do about that time more than ten years ago, after all, he had already been hit in the face.

Either you can't do the above two, or you are hesitating, so you can only use the third method.

Borrow Leo to consume flange!

This is acceptable to all forces in Suen.

Since you want to do this, do you want to send some symbolic troops to support it?

If the disparity in strength between the two sides is too large, not only will it be impossible to consume Flan, but they will also have to reconsider when Leo is captured.The question of whether to go to war or not.

Upon hearing that Suen was willing to send troops for support, Green only felt that his winning rate had increased by one point.

Even the Guard Corps has some strength, so don't give it up for free.

The only thing he was worried about now was whether King Fran would go crazy.

If that person wants to take over this place regardless of the situation, they will definitely not be able to stop him.

If we really send out two magic legions, plus so many guard legions, the royal capital will definitely not be able to defend it!

In the final analysis, the development time is too short, only one year, and it is impossible to really catch up with Flan.

"The royal capital can be defended now, but I haven't seen their cavalry troops. They are probably in the Western Region..."

Green looked at the map in front of him, briefly introduced the identity of the opponent's commander, and couldn't help but said: "If I were the opponent's commander, I would never withdraw the cavalry troops!

Obviously, the royal capital cannot be won immediately. One more cavalry regiment and one less cavalry regiment will have little impact.

But if such a mobile force is deployed in the western border, it will cause us a lot of trouble. "

Everyone who heard this was a little silent.

Because it’s true!

As long as the commander on the opposite side is not stupid, he will not think of recalling such a unit.

Because to the Western Territory, such a cavalry regiment is a hanging sword and poses too great a threat.

I didn't consider this issue originally, because the most important thing is to defend the royal capital first... But now it is obvious that it can be defended, so on this basis, we must think about how to defend the Western Territory.

"Difficult! A cavalry regiment poses a far greater threat to us than a magic regiment!"

Banner thought about it, but couldn't think of a way.

Mainly this kind of mobile force is difficult to deal with.

The second regiment can defend Cordoba, but it is unable to defend the entire western border, and if an opportunity is found, it can easily be wiped out.

"Why don't we just abandon the Western Region? The second regiment urgently supports the royal capital and eats up the sixth regiment!"

William thought about it a little in his mind and couldn't help but say.

The cavalry regiment simply gave up and started a decisive battle with the main force on the opposite side!

But after the words came out, he quickly shook his head and said: "Active offense is not what we are good at, what we are good at is defense!"
