Chapter 1477
He stood up angrily, Friedrich's face turned gloomy. Maybe he felt that Bayanzosky's words were irrefutable, but he wanted to give up the West Indian and Germans who had been peeping at them for many years. He was really unwilling to accept it. He hoped that his left arm and right arm, which he had leaned so heavily, could help him solve the crisis, but he didn't expect that there was only such a disappointing ending. "Since that's the case, Bayanzosky, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Seeing Friedrich leaving, both of them fell into silence. After a long time, Kaspersky smiled gloomy and said, "You have angered Your Majesty, this is not good."
"Hmph, it's better than losing the city and land. Your Majesty is just a moment of incomprehension. When he calms down, I believe he should recall it." Bayanzosky said coldly: "We shouldn't have competed with the Tang Dynasty for the Western Indian and German Ancient period. Even though we knew that the Tang people were determined to win this land, we had to make a move. Will the Tang people be willing? After seizing wealth, we should return to avoid being entangled in that land too much, which would only waste our manpower and material resources. The other countries in the alliance were not interested in this land at all, or they believed that they could not gain more benefits from this land and had no common interest basis. How could we compete with the Tang people by relying solely on Hanover?"
"But if the Tang people control the West Indians and Germans, it will pose a huge threat to our East. You also see the Tang people's ambitions, and the people of Destan Province also support us very much. How can we sit back and wait and see in this situation?" Kaspersky defended.
"Kaspersky, if you want to manage, you must have the corresponding strength. How can we manage it with the power of our Hannover Principality? Can you manage it? In addition to plundering the wealth of Western Indians and Germans at one time, will they be interested in the future in which it is obviously only our Hannover Principality will benefit? As for the people of Destan, they devoted themselves to the Holy Spirit religion, and no matter who they live under, Hannover could not sacrifice our own children for their sake." Bayanzosky said decisively: "The last time we invaded Western Indians and Germans, we should stop when we saw the good, and gave Western Indians and Germans openly. Maybe we could still get a ransom or reward from the Tang people. Now, we have to bear such great pressure."
"It's meaningless to say this now. Didn't Your Majesty give you full power to deal with it? You can do it." Kaspersky couldn't argue with the other party, turned his head and left only the armored soldier standing alone in the empty room.
Why would Bayanzosky be willing to do this? But if he doesn't do this, Hanover will usher in a greater crisis. The Tang people will take this opportunity to attack Hanover's homeland. The Hanson League is now unable to provide much substantial help to Hanover, which will not be worth the loss.
The speed of the White Stork Corps is worthy of being the most agile among the standing troops of the entire alliance. When Bayanzowski's request was transmitted to Birja through the Alliance Military Services Agency, Steven and Niassis, who had already been preparing to stop, immediately retreated west at the fastest speed. In fact, when they learned that the Tang army appeared in the north of Hanover, they knew that Birja could no longer defend. Hanover's defense army in the north was not enough to resist the large-scale attack of the Tang army. The only way was to tightly strangle the Altami Fortress and some Lazebras Fortress located in the Weizer Province to the west. At the same time, it also strengthened the defense power of the Bamiyan Fortress in the eastern part of the Eastern Province, used the light cavalry to harass the Tang army infantry, used the fortress to form a chain, cut off the supply of the Tang cavalry, and forced them to withdraw from Weizer and the Eastern Province. Only in this way can they defend the eastern half of Hanover.
Although Cui Wenxiu had already estimated that the Hansen Alliance might give up Bilja and turn to defend Hanover's homeland, he still looked down on the reaction and decisiveness of the White Stork Corps. The White Stork Army continued to show its determination to carry out the battle to the end, but secretly shifted the food and supplies westward in advance. The left-behind Light Cavalry and Mobile Infantry retreated almost one night. The front of the Indian Dean Legion, which was greedy for merit and rashly pursued the White Stork Army, was ambushed by the ambushed Light Cavalry of the White Stork Corps. The soldiers were damaged for a while and had to retreat back to Bilja City in annoyance.
After making up his mind, Bayanzosky did not hesitate anymore. The entire Knights of the Principality were all out, leaving only a 10,000-man team stationed in Bergen. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and borrowed 10,000 troops from the Principality of Baden to the south. Among them, 5,000 were light cavalry who were good at fighting in the mountains. This 10,000 people joined the northern front and made the Principality of Hanover slightly easier in the north.
The relationship between the royal family of the Duchy of Baden and the Duchy of Hannover has always been not harmonious, but Bayanzowski didn't care much at this time. The Hansen Alliance's standing army is now unreliable, so they can only make plans on the defense forces of each country. The Duchy of Baden is located in the inland mountains, and the 10,000 troops are almost all the troops of the Duchy of Baden. Fortunately, their own country does not need too many troops to garrison due to geographical location. In the face of foreign invasions, they also showed common hatred and friendly support in this regard.
The White Stork Corps and the Baden Army soon entered the Altami Fortress and locked the key passes for the Tang army to move south and eastward. The Hanover Defense Forces were responsible for defending the Hanover Defense Forces. The White Stork Army and the Baden Army quickly stabilized their positions, and the Tang army seemed to have consciously slowed down.
The Altami Fortress, Labrades Fortress and Bamian Fortress form a strategic iron triangle, supporting each other and supporting each other. Among them, the Altami Fortress is the core, and the main mobile forces of the Hansen Allied Army are concentrated here. The Labrades Fortress can be reinforced to the west, and the Tang army trying to move south can be attacked to the south. The south can be reinforced to the Bamian Fortress, and the Tang army dared to advance east together with the Bmian Fortress army. This attackable and defensive situation finally stabilized the situation in the eastern part of the Principal of Hanover.
However, as soon as Birja City was lost, the natural barriers between the Barak Mountains and the Stana Mountains were gone. It turned out that although the Indians controlled Birja City, the fragile military strength of the Indians made the Hannoverians never think that they might pose any threat to them, but the situation is very different now. The Tang army was in charge of Birja City, and could threaten the vast hinterland of the Eastern Province of the Principal of Hanover at any time. Even with the support of the Altami Fortress and the Bamiyan Fortress, the vast area between them was still under the threat of the Tang army at any time. In this case, the stalemate seemed to have little meaning to both sides.
The Tang army seemed to have also noticed this. Instead of the strategy of the cavalry's large-scale invasion of the hinterland of the Eastern Province, they moved south along the western foot of the Barak Mountains. The Indian and German Legion also acted as if they were ready to assemble heavy troops to invade the east at any time. As long as they merged with the Rangers and the Imperial Eleventh Corps, they could maintain an absolute advantage over Hanover in terms of military strength.
Walking in the city full of architectural style of the Western Continental City, Cui Wenxiu could even feel the hatred gaze from the streets. Most of the people who welcomed the Tang army into the city on the streets were Nierites and Romons. The Holy Spirits all posted golden shield paintings with holy images on their doors to express silent protests. Fortunately, the protests of the Holy Spirits did not evolve into open resistance, otherwise Cui Wenxiu would not intend to tolerate it. Religious beliefs were not important to him, but if he wanted to fight against the rule of the empire, it would be challenging the authority of the military, and this kind of limelight should not be long.
Seeing the Yakuan nobles of Destan Province clustered in front of their square, Cui Wenxiu couldn't help but smile. Perhaps his reputation for slaughtering foreign races has created his reputation in this land, but this is not a bad thing. As a soldier, he left a reputation of kindness in the conquering place, which is just an insult. Those things that should have been done by the civilian government, what the soldiers want to show is blood and violence, one hard and one soft, one martial and one literary, one dark and one light. Only by giving kindness and power can local people feel the pressure of royal power. Too much indulgence will only nourish their arrogance. The necessary cleaning and deterrence are reliable means to ensure a conquering tame.
The crisp sound of the horseshoe hitting the floor stirred up in the hearts of every Yakuan nobleman present as if they were about to shrink their hearts. The cold and sharp eyes flowed through the bodies of the people, like a sharp sword spiraling around the necks of everyone, making people involuntarily want to shrink their bodies into a ball.
"Why are there so few people coming out to welcome the imperial army? Isn't Bilja City known as the pearl between the East and the West? Didn't it mean that there were 100,000 residents, why did I only see a few? Well?!" Without dismounting, a cold gaze passed by the nobles in front of the Governor's Office in the square. Cui Wenxiu gently pulled her horse and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Are you still counting on the Hansen people who have abandoned you to rescue you?"
As soon as Cui Wenxiu said this, the nobles present immediately began to feel chilled. What does this sentence mean? What does the butcher want to do? Didn’t he agree that he doesn’t care about religious beliefs? Why did he target the Holy Spirit Christians as soon as he came?
