Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 212: Sharp Turn Down

Prince Widreck fled Amis City on the afternoon of October 4th, Major Jebson figured out the truth, and Claude drove a guard squadron overnight to the entrance to the Odin Mountains. One of the divisions sent by the Royal Nasserly Army arrived in Amis City at midnight, and since the scouts found that the city was heavily defended, the campfire was clear, and the artillery was in the woods, and the troops were tired from long distances, the commander decided to take a night off until tomorrow to decide whether to attack the city or not.

The Kingdom of Nasseri may not have sent a division to Amis City had it not been for the capture in the morning of several soldiers of the Chanyalal Legion, who testified that Amis City had only one division of their own. It was mainly in the soldiers' confessions that a battalion of the Blue Feathers Corps and a battalion of the Inquisition Corps were said to be stationed in the city, which made the interrogator feel a little strange, and only after careful questioning did he know that Prince Widreck, the second son of Sterling X, was in prison in Amis City.

It is not uncommon for a prison army three or four hundred miles from the front line, but the news has led to controversy between the commanders of the two standing regiments of the Kingdom of Nasri. Some officers believed that the plan should be changed and turned to Amis City, grabbing the two princes first, and perhaps this could also be a prerequisite for compelling the Kingdom of Ovieras to cease its war and seek peace.

The commanders of the other part, however, categorically objected, demanding that all efforts be made to complete the planned strategic plan and surround the regiments of the three Duchy of Ovilas on the front line, regardless of the intrusion. For the Alliance of Five Against the Olympics, it is much more important to surround an Ace Field Corps in the kingdom of Ovilas than to capture a prince alive.

The main reason for the opposition is three, one is that the two standing legions turned to attack Amis City, not to mention whether they could capture Amis City and shock the Blue Feather Regiment on the front line, which is inevitable. When the Blue Feather Regiment turns around and strikes backwards, if they do not capture Amis City, the two regiments are in danger of being hit backwards and forwards. Don't talk about surrounding the Blue Feather Regiment. If they are not surrounded, it will be Italy.

The second reason is that they did not completely destroy the battalion where the Chagnaral Legion came out to collect taxes this morning and ran off several horseback riding officers. It must have gone back to the letter. Information has been leaked about three regiments, including Blue Feather, enclosed on the front line by two regiments of the Kingdom of Nasseri, and it is imperative that they arrive at the scheduled location as soon as possible to intercept the Blue Feather Regiment's return route, rather than turning to attack Amis City. Because Amis City will definitely be well guarded and defensive when it gets word, that Prince Widreck may have already run away...

The third reason is that even catching Prince Widreck doesn't do much good, because there's a precedent. A few decades ago, Sterling IX attacked the kingdom of Nasseri, and his eldest son led the army against the Principality of Berkeley. In a battle, however, his eldest son was brave and swept so hard that he was wounded and captured. At first sight, the Principality of Berkeley captured Sterling IX's eldest son, thought that the strange goods were liveable, and the lion opened his mouth and put forward a number of harsh armistice conditions.

At that time, many ministers of the kingdom of Ovilas persuaded Sterling IX to bear the burden of humiliation and save the great prince first. Stirling IX, however, killed the Principality of Berkeley, tore apart the armistice agreement, took troops to the Principality of Berkeley, directly annihilated the Principality of Berkeley, and exterminated the Grand Duke's family for the murder of the Grand Prince of Berkeley. Most of the nobility of the Principality of Berkeley was also killed and few survived.

That's why Prince Sterling X, the second prince, was able to succeed him smoothly, otherwise the throne would not be on his head. Opponents have raised this issue to make it clear that there is no point in capturing a prince of the kingdom of Auvellas, but rather attracting the aggressive spear of the kingdom of Auvellas to its own side. And the captured prince had to have a delicious and delicious reception in order to avoid endangering his life and endangering all the nobles in his kingdom. To be honest, it would be better to grab him or make trouble for himself. This is a hot gourd...

Perhaps the reasons for being an opponent are so abundant that those officers who propose to turn to attack Amis City have nothing to refute. Finally, the supreme commander of the Royal Nasseri Army decided, or rather implemented the original plan, to surround the Blue Feather Regiment and the other two second-line regiments of the Kingdom of Auvellas. However, in order to prevent the Amis City Guard from sending troops to take over the three regiments on the front line, the Commander of the Royal Nasri Army decided to divide the strength of a division to restrain the Amis City Guard.

In accepting his orders, the division's chief was repeatedly stressed by the Supreme Commander that his task was to hold the enemy hostage so that the Amis City guards could not leave the city to accomplish their task. If he finds that Amis City's defensive forces are too strong, he can decide whether to retreat or not.

Only the closer we get to Amis City, the more soldiers are captured from the Chanyalal Legion to collect taxes, and it was not until the end that this division chief finally received accurate information, and the guard force stationed in Amis City, which is the strength of about three battalions. And this division chief belongs to one of those officers who advocated a turn to attack Amis City, and he immediately moved, and his own division's strength was enough to capture Amis City.

So the master hurried his men to hurry up and finally arrived in Amis City by 3: 00 in the evening. The discovery of Amis City was so tightly guarded that the division chief suspected that the captured soldiers were lying, coupled with the fact that his men were in a hurry, so the division chief finally decided whether to take a rest for one night, and wait until daytime tomorrow to test out the truth of Amis City's guard force...

Sometimes, unexpectedly, warplanes just disappear. If the head of the Nasserli kingdom strikes as soon as he arrives in Amis City, even if his soldiers are exhausted, the casualties will continue to strike Amis City. That would be a disaster of extinction for all the forces of the Kingdom of Ovilas in the Principality of Siddins.

Because for the soldiers of the Chanyalal Legion who went out to collect taxes, when they returned to the city, they ran into the army of the Kingdom of Nasserli to attack, so they would certainly not enter the city, but rather throw away what they had collected and flee directly to the mountain entrance in the Odin Mountains, hoping to return from there.

As a result, a division of the Kingdom of Nasseri did not launch an offensive, but set up a camp north of Amis City to prepare for rest. This is good news for the soldiers of the Chagnalal Regiment, who returned to the city from the east and south gates around the north gate and accepted the integration of officers from the Eleventh Field Battalion. So after just one night, Amis City was outnumbered by one regiment.

At about 10 a.m. on October 5, the army of the Kingdom of Nasseri finally launched an attack on Amis City. However, because the division was in a lightweight hurry, the artillery carried was lightweight and could not compete with the defensive artillery laid out by the city, resulting in heavy shelling by the city's artillery during the attack. At the same time, as he entered the range of the guard's guns, he was fired upon by a barrage headed by the eleventh battalion.

In an hour-long offensive, the Royal Nasri Army, instead of being able to reach the walls, killed and injured four or five hundred people. The result was unexpected by the commander of the attacking Royal Nasri Army, who believed that Amis City's defensive might was not as weak as those of the captured soldiers, and he suspected that the city's defensive force was around three regiments and that it was impossible to capture Amis City on its own.

So the division chief returns to the barracks, stops the offensive, reinforces the camp, sets up a defensive front, and prepares to carry out the task at hand. And the guards of Amis City were relieved to see the enemy no longer attacking. They only repelled the enemy's attack after mobilizing all their defenses... This attack and defense of Amis City is over.

At noon on 5 October, two seaport cities in the newly occupied Principality of Siddins by the Kingdom of Ovieras were attacked almost simultaneously by the Alliance of Five Against the Olympics combined fleet. The two guards of the Chanyalal Legion, who had been blinded by fleet fire, could not resist the attack of the two regiments that had been transported to land by the United Fleet, leaving the harbour city without armor in less than two hours. Fewer than two regiments eventually made it to Amis City. The rest of them were lucky enough to be captured. Bad luck came directly out to capture the people of the Principality of Siddins and killed them...

At around 6 p.m. on October 5, four comms men, ordered by Major Jebson, Eleventh Field Battalion Commander of Amis City, finally broke through the enemy's blockade line and sent intelligence to General Philipt, the leader of the Blue Feather Legion, who was left with more than 30 comms to complete their mission.

And General Philippe, dissatisfied with the progress of the daytime fighting, is wondering why the enemy's resistance today has suddenly increased and intensified, and as soon as he receives the information, he understands that three regiments on his side are in danger. As the leader of the Blue Feather Corps, one of the four field-class regiments in the Kingdom of Orvillas, General Phillipt was a very good soldier, who immediately ordered the troops to retreat at night and left behind a force that attacked the enemy's defensive front at night to seduce the front-facing enemy.

Although General Philipt's flight immediately concluded that the withdrawal of the three regiments had earned him one night, the next morning the enemy discovered the Blue Feather Regiment and the withdrawal of the other two second-line regiments. More than 200,000 enemies on the front were imminent, while the two remaining standing regiments of the Kingdom of Nasri had been enclosed, and the regiments occupying the two seaport cities on the west had left one regiment as a guard force, sloping from the side.

For General Philipt, one night was just to get the three regiments back to the starting point of the offensive, the lowly hills of the Amelia Plains. While there are some defensive setups and positions in place, it is not a good thing to be surrounded by enemies of the dominant forces. Even if the Blue Feather Regiment is confident of its ability to hold on here, time is clearly on the enemy's side. Once besieged for a long time, the logistical weight could not be replenished, and the only way out for the three regiments would be to surrender their weapons.

If the Bluefeather Corps surrenders to the enemy, it will be an intolerable lifelong disgrace for all Bluefeather Corps officers and soldiers, and it will mean that General Philipt will leave an extremely disgraceful legacy in his military career. Even if he could return home in the future, he would not have the courage to see his children. So after a brief military conference, General Philipt and all the high-ranking officers made a decision to use the enemy to break out of the siege and kill a retreat to Amis City with the blood and life of the generals as soon as the siege had just been erected.

After 11 days of sudden bloodshed, the three regiments were almost out of food, fighting off the other two enemies as they broke through. But they eventually broke through the siege, a retreat paved with the bodies of countless sergeants that eventually reached fewer than 40,000 people in Amis City, most of them wounded. And Bluefeather Corps and two other second-line corps more than half of their officers died in battle in the sand, and General Phillipt was seriously injured by stray bullets in the front-line in an effort to inspire morale pioneers...

Claude fed mosquitoes at the entrance to the Odin Mountains Mountains as the main force of the Blue Feather Corps and two other second-line corps broke through the siege to survive their own lives and deaths. When he arrived here with the guard squadron, he asked Lieutenant Moster to take over the two defensive fronts with the squadron of the Chanyalal Legion, while his own soldiers dug trenches on the hillside at the entrance to the mountain, retrieving four artillery guns from the defensive position on the hill, placing them on the hillside.

After the brief offensive and defensive battle in Amis City, there were only a few Reconnaissance Cavalry troops from the Kingdom of Nasserley on the side of the entrance of the hill, who found four large doors on the hillside [the guns were immediately turned around and left, and never came again.

So the boring Claude counted the stars at night, stayed napping in the position during the day, and the enemy did not see them, but captured nearly a hundred deserters from the Chagnalal army who wanted to return home, all of whom were handed over to Lieutenant Moster for punishment and rectification. Until more than a dozen days later, news came of Blue Feathers breaking through the heavy victory and arriving in Amis City...
