Chapter 1400 Entering the Principality of Pengda
On May 6, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao, under the **** of 10,000 fifth-tier palace guards equipped with pistols and pineapple grenades, crossed from the border of the Mughal Empire and the Principality of Pengda The border enters the Principality of Pengda.
The frontier here began as early as October 1, 13th year of Tianxuan, when Emperor Yi's territory launched a general attack on the Principality of Pengda. Territory extension site.
During the seven-month battle, although the troops in Emperor Yi's territory did not break far into the Principality of Pengda, every step forward was very safe.
Qu Mao, Su Yan, and Mo Yangqiao walked 30 kilometers to the territory of Pengda Principality under the **** of the fifth-tier court guards, and finally came to a small city protected by city walls. In this small city, Xi Members of the Frontline Battlefield Military Committee have gathered together, waiting for Qu Mao, Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao to hold a meeting for them.
From the moment they entered the territory of the Principality of Pengda, Qu Mao, Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao sighed and sighed all the way.
The entire territory of the Principality of Pengda has been ravaged by the flames of war. Some trees have even been burned by the flames of war. Only a three-meter-high trunk is left alone on the ground, and the top is still charred.
Although there are millions of traditional rank fighters in the territory of Emperor Yi on the western front battlefield, the main force of the battle is still the firearms army, even the army, magic army and guard army composed of traditional rank fighters , are also equipped with some gunpowder weapons such as artillery, muskets, and grenades, and their attack power and destructive power are far stronger than those in the original battle against the Anti-Yizhen Alliance on the Eastern Peninsula battlefield in the East Mainland Bay.
Although the defenders of the Principality of Pengda were not equipped with firearms such as muskets and cannons, they had mines and other weapons that used gunpowder. The damage to the surface and buildings in battle was greater than that of the king.
Walking through the border area of 30 kilometers all the way, what Qu Mao, Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao saw was the scorched earth after the war and barren cultivated land, and there was no human habitation at all.
Actually, there were no residents of the Principality of Pengda where Qu Mao, Su Yan, and Mo Yangqiao walked through under the **** of 10,000 fifth-tier court guards.
Even on the 30-kilometer border line, Qu Mao didn't even see a single living person except for the fighters in Emperor Yi's territory.
After entering the small border town of the Principality of Pengda, the members of the Military Commission on the Western Front were already waiting in the town hall. Qu Mao walked into the town hall and glanced at Chafidel, Sir Mrak, Zhao Pan, Zhang Familiar heroes such as Da, Sophie Trani, Hua Tielan, and several less familiar heroes.
Greeting Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao to sit down, Qu Mao nodded and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard!"
Zhaifeidel said: "My lord, my subordinates are waiting for you!
It's just that the pace of the battle is very slow. I have failed your high expectations, and my subordinates are really ashamed.
The military and civilians of the Principality of Pengda have a very strong will to resist. Even though our army has the advantage of firearms and weapons, the military and civilians of the Principality of Pengda still refuse to give up resistance. Under the superior firepower of our army, the military and civilians of the Principality of Pengda have no resistance at all. Chance.
It's just that they couldn't resist on the battlefield, so they broke up and attacked our army in various primitive ways. To be honest, our army suffered a lot of losses.
The problem that my subordinates are worried about now is: the independent territory of the Principality of Pengda that we finally won for you, my lord, may be a barren and uninhabited territory. Because in order to avoid the continued loss of our soldiers, we basically eliminated all possible threats to our soldiers on the battlefield of the Principality of Pengda, that is, killed the soldiers and civilians of the Principality of Pengda indiscriminately. "
Qu Mao nodded, without saying a word.
Su Yan said: "Master Chafidel, can we attack the territory of the Principality of Pengda while relocating residents from the holy land and independent territories to develop the territory that the Principality of Pengda has already captured?"
Zhao Pan waved his hand and said, "Master Su Yan, I understand what you mean, but I don't recommend doing so at the moment. The area actually controlled by the army of Emperor Yi's territory is only within the distance from the border of the Principality of Pengda. 100 km range only.
This distance is very unsafe. Even if we move the residents of the holy land or independent territories to build towns, it will only increase the pressure on our army's defense, because the soldiers and civilians of the Principality of Pengda are so crazy, and their attacks will be all-consuming. "
Zhang Da also said: "My lord, it has been seven months since the general attack on the Principality of Pengda was launched on the western front, and our army has suffered relatively large damage in the desperate counterattack of the Dukedom of Pengda's soldiers and civilians.
The migrating residents are weaker than the army, so they will suffer more damage. The subordinates also don’t agree with Master Su Yan’s suggestion. Let’s talk about it after we completely win the Principality of Pengda.
The subordinates think that even if they win a piece of scorched earth, it is better than using our own soldiers and civilians to gamble with the soldiers and civilians of the Principality of Pengda. "
Qu Mao asked: "Are the minefields still the biggest obstacle?"
Sophie Trani said: "My lord, the minefields are not our key obstacle, and the magician can destroy the minefields very well.
Now we dare not break into too much easily, mainly because as long as the soldiers and civilians of the Principality of Pengda are not killed in the occupied territory, we will face endless harassment, and the price we pay is the lives of our soldiers, so we fight more cautiously. "
Qu Mao asked: "Zafidel, didn't Sylvia and Fuer come over?"
Chafidel said: "My lord, the western coastal border of the Principality of Pengda is too far away from here, and there are still a lot of areas controlled by the Principality of Pengda in the middle, for the safety of Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp , The Western Front Military Committee notified the two naval heroes, but did not ask them to come to the meeting.
The Principality of Pengda is frantically resisting, and the God's Choice Alliance in China is also frantically trying to break through our navy's defense line, and the navy is also under great pressure. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "We have long expected the difficulty of launching a general attack on the Principality of Pengda on the Western Front, so you should try to exchange time for space, and give priority to protecting the lives of our soldiers.
After all, we have the advantage of advanced weapons, and fighting slowly will always make them collapse.
Later, Su Yan, Mo Yangqiao and I will continue to detour to the western coastal border where the navy is located. At that time, we may consider replenishing warships for the navy.
The firearms army may need you to train yourself, but the army, magic army and garrison army, if needed, I can provide some reinforcements. "
Zhao Pan's eyes lit up, but Chafidel gave Zhao Pan a vicious look, and Zhao Pan had no choice but to say: "My lord, we can handle it ourselves, please rest assured."
