MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 264

After three days of continuous onslaught, the outer suburban defense line of Shengluer Kingdom completely collapsed.

"Ivy, it seems that Li Zijin is more suitable to be with me in the end."

Olina folded her arms around her chest and looked proudly into the distance.

The blood of the soldiers of the two countries merged into a turbulent river, and a well was filled with corpses. The soldiers of the Azure Empire successively occupied three small towns, two villages, and a duke's castle. They died for this, but none of those officers were students who traveled to the secret realm to participate in the assessment.

Chapter 61 Ivy's Tactics

On the outskirts of Fenglu City, a blond man in casual clothes walked into the trench. Gunfire continued from a kilometer away. When all the soldiers on the front line were killed, the soldiers here would have to stand in the position of the dead.

"Your Majesty, this place is very dangerous, you should go back quickly!"

General Wei Gang walked up to the blond man and shouted in a way that was almost shouting.

On the front lines, the artillery fire was constantly being heard, and it was almost difficult to communicate without shouting out the sound.

The blond man glanced at General Wei Gang, then at the soldiers with firm eyes in the trench and said:

"My friends, this is a battlefield. No one is absolutely safe. You soldiers are fighting for your country. As a king, if I continue to hide in the palace and tremble, I will greatly humiliate your bravery and fearlessness. Therefore, I, Louis X. Four decides that I will stand with you anytime."

Louis XIV walked up to the soldiers and said.

The soldiers could roughly see that the purpose of Louis XIV's trip was nothing more than to mobilize before the war, and then let them give their lives willingly.

Although the honor and disgrace of the country is very important, everyone is a thinking individual. When life is threatened, many things can be seen through. For example, Louis XIV seems to have come to the front line, but it is relatively safe here. Like the generals, they only say "I stand with you" in a little dangerous place, but when the soldiers rush into the enemy's range with their rifles, the figures of the powerful always disappear without a trace. .

Louis XIV's fox-like eyes swept over every soldier, and he naturally knew that hypocritical empty words could not really boost the morale of the soldiers, so Louis XIV called for a statistician.

"Give me the list of the dead, and every deceased will receive a national pension. Although I can't charge with a rifle with them, I can do my best to make every martyr's family get enough money for them. A pension for a lifetime of food and clothing."

After getting the list of dead, Louis XIV took out a card and said to the subordinate beside him:

"The pension must be credited to the account of each martyr's family. This is the obligation that I, Louis XIV, must fulfill."

A captain said to Louis XIV on behalf of his soldiers:

"Your Majesty, we will never live up to your expectations, please rest assured, the Blue Empire wants to enter Fenglu City unless it steps on our corpses."

Louis XIV tapped the captain on the shoulder.

"Heroes who fight for the country, go ahead and make great achievements when the country is in the most critical time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In order to resist the invasion of the Azure Empire, almost all the men in the Kingdom of Shenglu set foot on the battlefield, and countless people will die for it.

However, Louis XIV did not actually feel bad for the lives of the soldiers. Although their sacrifices were precious, Louis XIV would not cry for their sacrifices.

What Louis XIV felt more distressed was that after their death, the Kingdom of Shengluer would face a shortage of labor. Those men who died should have started at the age of seventeen and ended at the age of sixty, providing more benefits to the country through labor.

But when one dies, all is gone.

He regards the country as a pasture and his soldiers as livestock, but at the same time, he has to disguise himself as a benevolent and fraternal monarch. Only in this way can he reduce losses.

"Ugh…"

Louis XIV sighed.

Ivy, who had just returned from the front line, heard Louis XIV's sigh and asked what happened.

"Ivy, the enemy has broken through the outskirts of defense, our air force has also suffered huge losses, and the army has suffered heavy casualties. As a king, can I not sigh for this?"

Louis XIV stuck his head out, trying to see the battlefield in the distance, but was almost hit in the head by a bullet.

"Your Majesty, I advise you not to stick your head out of the trench at will, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety." Ivy said in a cold tone.

"Ivy, you are the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Fenglu City. Let me ask you, is there any way we can take countermeasures against the enemy. If this goes on, they will really invade Fenglu City." Louis. Fourteen paused, "I don't mean to be held accountable, I'm just stating the facts. If you can't defend against the Blue Empire's offensive, tell me as soon as possible."

Shearena, who was standing beside Ivy, heard this and almost drew her sword, but Ivy reached out her hand in time to stop Charena.

"Your Majesty, although I cannot guarantee victory over the Azure Empire in this war, I have full confidence in defending Fenglu City. This city, which symbolizes the spirit of the Kingdom of Shengluer, will never fall."

"How can you make me believe you?" Louis XIV asked.

"The anti-armor artillery provided by the Ministry of Science has not yet been put into use. I am waiting for a suitable opportunity to completely wipe out the armored forces of the Azure Empire. Now, I will use our army's decline to numb them and make them think they can drive straight in. approaching the capital of our country.”

"Tell me your plan, Ivy, won't you create an artificial swamp again?"

A cannonball landed less than 500 meters away, and the ground trembled.

"If Olina falls in the same place twice, then she is not Olina. From what I have observed, the enemy's armored units usually spread out quickly in a fan shape when attacking, and then the infantry catches up with the armor. The troops quickly closed after the pace, so I plan to seize the moment when the armored troops disperse and destroy them one by one with anti-armor artillery. For this reason, my suggestion is to abandon the rigid trench warfare. Static defense requires soldiers to be distributed over a long period of time. On a long front, long-term consumption is actually not conducive to defense. My suggestion is to divide the defense line into three lines of defense according to the echelon. The first line of defense is mainly responsible for harassment, the second line of defense exchanges fire with the enemy, and the third line of defense provides Fire support, so that we can keep the troops in the rear in a state of rest at all times, and at the same time, we can change the offensive and defensive posture.”

"I have a general understanding. Your plan is to first determine the enemy's main attack direction through the outpost, and then use the main force to delay the enemy's army, and then transfer the mobile forces of the secondary battlefield to the main battlefield, and use your own preset positions to fight. Is it the war of attrition that waits for work?"

Ivy nodded and said incredulously:

"I didn't expect your Majesty to know the military."

"I know more than you think. Compared with static defense, your combat is more intelligent and stable, and you can fundamentally eliminate unnecessary sacrifice." Louis XIV said, "Ivy, you are the leader of this battle. Commander-in-chief of the war, command as you wish."

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your trust in me."

Chapter 62 Evaluating Erich

"The Royal Army is changing."

After these few days of battle reports, Olina immediately saw some clues.

With the cooperation of the bunkers, the trench warfare carried out by the Shengluer Kingdom was like a tortoise that was actively beaten but had rough skin.

But now the Royal Army's movements have become faster. They will take the initiative to give up some lines of defense that are impossible to defend, and their movements are no longer so rigid. When the Blue Empire has taken the line of defense, they often haven't had time to rest, and the Royal Army is waiting for backup. The troops launched a counter-charge.

In the Kingdom of Shengluer, the voice of the officers who have sacrificed for the country is becoming less and less, and the idea of ​​maintaining their strength for a decisive battle is becoming more and more popular.

This is the current transformation of the army of the Kingdom of Shengluer. Nowadays, even Erich, who was once very contemptuous of the military level of the Kingdom of Shengluer, often says in private:

"Although their origins make them destined to be unable to become a high-level nation like us, their will to fight must not be underestimated. Each of their soldiers knows what to do, even when death comes, they have nothing to do. Fear, such a tenacious army is even more worthy of admiration than the imperial army, but unfortunately, they are not from the empire, but from the kingdom, and will surely be destroyed by us.”

On the surface, Erich still wanted to maintain his stance and satirized the Shengluer Kingdom Army, saying that their military thinking was 30 years behind the Azure Empire.

"Our advantage is actually based on more advanced weapons."

Erwin Jurgen thought so. He felt that if the Shengluer Kingdom possessed equally advanced weapons, the Battle of Fenglu City would become a protracted tug-of-war and a war of attrition.

The capital, which was supposed to be occupied within a week, has now taken the Imperial Army almost half a month, but the front has only advanced five kilometers.

Hearing the latest battle report, the corners of Li Zijin's mouth rose slightly, and Olina naturally noticed the slight change in Li Zijin's expression, so she asked in a sour tone:

"Li Zijin, Ivy is doing so well, are you happy?"

"What's there to be happy about."

"Hmph, don't dare to admit it, you were obviously very happy just now."

"I'm just thinking, after the end of this assessment, the two of you will become friends again, and then progress together, grow together, and become great people together. What a picture to look forward to."

"Even if I do become friends with her, you can only be with me."

Li Zijin smiled noncommittally. Compared with other girls Li Zijin knew, Olina had a more clean concept of love. She didn't want her future husband to share the bed with other women.

In the past, Li Zijin also had the same idea, thinking that love should give all his heart to the only person, but as Li Zijin met more and more girls, he found that he could not abandon them.

"In reality, you were imprisoned in the Dongzhou Empire by Ya Yinyue, but don't worry, one day, the Imperial Navy will appear on the coastline of Dongzhou at sunrise, and then I will remove you from that cage. Welcome out," Olina put her arms around her chest with a proud face, "Perhaps for you, it's just running from one cage to another."

"When the time comes, I hope you can raise your hand and don't put me in a cage. I am a wild animal and like the vast prairie."

"I will never raise my hand. Whether it's emotionally or militarily, I like to kill as much as possible, so just give up."

Olina placed a chess piece on the table.

Under the command of Erich Manstein, the armored forces of the Azure Empire will launch a fierce attack on the army of the Kingdom of Shengluer today.

These days, Li Zijin has read a lot of intelligence about Erich's command on the battlefield.

It has to be said that Erich is a commander with a very different command style. In the early several great victories against Shengluer Kingdom, Erich almost always gave advice. In the entire empire, he is an officer who is good at scheming. This is exactly the same as the dismissed Heinz, but it is worth noting that Erich is by no means a steady and steady officer. He is accustomed to placing a small number of infantry in the main attack position of the Shengluer Kingdom and waiting for the opponent to attack. At that time, the infantry was used to delay, and then the high-mobility troops were concentrated to outflank the opponent, thus fundamentally solving the living force of the Shengluer Kingdom.

Five days later, Erich's army achieved another great victory, and the capital of Shengluer Kingdom was within easy reach.

"By the way, what do you think of the generals under my command?" Olina asked suddenly.

"It's all good."

"What do you think of Erich?"

"If he is dismissed now, he will become the hero of the Azure Empire after retiring, the most gnashing demon in the Kingdom of Shengluer." Li Zijin replied.

"He always believed that the scorched earth policy was correct. Although I explicitly forbade him to make the soldiers obey the discipline and not to slaughter innocent people, he repeatedly ignored the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, and he privately said that I was brainwashed by you, Become indecisive and become a resentful little woman, do you think I am resentful, like a little woman?"

"No, you are like a big woman."

Li Zijin stared at Olina's chest and said.

Olina blushed and turned away.

"Bastard."

The beautiful dolls summoned held Li Zijin's shoulders and provided the best service for Li Zijin.

Olina herself was sitting on Li Zijin's lap, while tasting the fruits handed over by the puppets, while snuggling on Li Zijin's half-exposed chest, Li Zijin had to stay sane before she could press the gun.

When the queen and Li Zijin, who always maintained their majesty outside, were alone, they became the appearance of little birds.

Whenever I recall the gloomy face when we met for the first time, it is inevitable that Li Zijin wants to complain, "Who are you, beauty?".

"Actually, I have also paid attention to Erich Mann Stein. He is different from ordinary officers. He hates the law-abiding style of play. Although his battle damage ratio is very good, this kind of slapstick will come one day sooner or later. It will be familiar to the enemy and counteracted.”

"If you are an officer of Shengluer Kingdom, is there a way to defeat Erich?"

"I'm not a general, I'm just a prisoner imprisoned by you."

Li Zijin smiled, then opened his mouth slightly, Olina fed Li Zijin a grape that was very similar to her hair color.

"You can't fool my eyes. If it were you, there must be a way to deflate Erich."

"Olina, Erich's command style can be used as a hidden trump card, but the trump card cannot be used all the time. He is essentially a gambler. His style of play seems fierce, but it has many disadvantages. For example, if there is an army of the Kingdom of Shenglue stationed in the village of Essonne in advance, if the town of Seine is seized by the army of the kingdom, and if a large number of artillery pieces are erected in Montmartre, what do you think will happen?"

"The Imperial Army will be surrounded." Olina saw the flaws on the map at a glance.

Erich is the kind of general who tries to kill the enemy in one go, but once the enemy country is too deep and the enemy sees the flaws, the entire front will collapse.

Chapter 63 The Ready Rebellion

When Erich's armored troops launched an attack on the Kingdom of Shengluer, a large net had already been laid quietly.

On the Montmartre Villa, Ivy looked down and looked into the distance. She saw a dense army of troops rushing towards this place. There was the central army of the Azure Empire. It was the most powerful army in the Azure Empire. These days, Ai By running back and forth on the battlefield, Wei also roughly learned about the people of the officers of the Azure Empire.

Among the imperial officers, some were full of hatred for the Kingdom of Shengluer. They supported the scorched earth policy and acquiesced in allowing the soldiers of the Empire to burn, kill and loot within the Kingdom of Shengluer.

There are also imperial officers who only participated in this war out of their own responsibilities. Although the history of the two countries was full of hatred, those officers knew that most of the civilians were innocent, and strictly followed the instructions of Queen Olina. The commoners in the kingdom, Qiu, did not commit any crimes.

Field Marshal Erich Mann Stein is obviously the former. He incites hatred and believes that hatred is a powerful tool for cohesion.

He also depreciated the history and culture of the Shengluer Kingdom to nothing, but to degrade a country like this, then what is the empire that has been at war with that country for many years and has become an old enemy?

Ivy wanted to confront Erich more than once.

When you slander the enemy, you are often slandering yourself.

Ivy looked back at the officers, and behind them were a group of officers. Those student officers benefited a lot from the trials of war in this assessment. Tsarizin, who was a civilian, and Picardy, who was a noble, cooperated many times on the battlefield. Became friends, Admiral Wei Gang's son Joseph Wei Gang also saw through his father's selfishness on the battlefield. The peaceful elves used the power of a family to resolve many mortal dangers.

In this war against the invaders, everyone is united against foreign enemies, even the former dude of Louis XIV, who only sleeps four hours a day, and spends the rest of the time either on the front line with generals and soldiers. Together, either condolences to the families of the deceased, and is called "the kind king" by the people.

"Are you all ready? Next, Erich's armored forces will inevitably launch a fierce attack. My next goal is to retreat in an orderly manner, so that the enemy's most elite armored groups break through the defense line and disperse quickly, and then take the opportunity to fight with Get in touch with the anti-armor artillery positions ambushed by the rear front, and wipe out the most important armored troops of the enemy in one fell swoop. This battle is very important, please don’t slack off.”

"Yes, Admiral Lian Qing!"

Since Ivy completely banned static defense tactics, the loss of Shengluer Kingdom has gradually decreased, which is what most people see.

Although some people criticized Ivy for giving up the position, it was advocating that the soldiers escaped without authorization, but the positions that were often abandoned would soon be recaptured by counter-charge. Therefore, the tactics proposed by Ivy are still regarded as principles by the various armies.

In the past, even if the airship troops in the sky threw bombs and the armored chariots on the ground crushed their bodies, they could not leave the position, but now Ivy has avoided the enemy's edge by constantly mobilizing troops. control the enemy's focal point.

Marshal de Gaulle praised Ivy's tactics more than once in public, and even the field marshal, Duchess Les, who has always adhered to neutrality in the military, called Ivy the savior of the Kingdom of Shengluer.

As long as this battle is won and the armored troops of the empire are severely damaged, Ivy's prestige in the army will be at its peak, and she will become the fourth marshal of the Shengluer Kingdom.

At that time, Ivy will have more power, which is what Ivy expects.

However, this was not what the International Column hoped to see. The purpose of the International Column was to take advantage of the fact that Shengluer Kingdom and the Azure Empire were severely damaged by the battle, and to bury the kingship of the two countries completely.

What Ivy didn't know was that among the troops of the Shengluer Kingdom and the Azure Empire, there were some officers who had already secretly joined the international column.
