The alliance army arrived at the Royal City of Polyvisia, with a total strength of nearly 550,000. But after the Battle of Polivisia, except for the 780,000 or 80,000 horses that Marshal Pirag Ferriot, the supreme commander of the alliance army, took back to the Kingdom of Hicks when he saw that the situation was not going well, the remaining more than 40 The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were all destroyed in the hands of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion.
In the Royal City of Polyvisia alone, there were as many as 180,000 corpses of the Alliance army cleared from the Western District after the war. Of course, this included the five who died from artillery bombardment in the Royal Square of Nasseri. An estimate of sixty thousand people. Only 130,000 Union troops were wounded and surrendered. This was a rare case in which the number of casualties on the losing side was greater than the number of prisoners and surrenders.
Even in the thousands of years of history of the Faslan world, there has never been such a precedent. After breaking through the defense of the city wall and entering the city, the attacking force was more than four times larger than the defending force, but the entire army ended up being annihilated. Later war histories and military experts spoke highly of the Battle of Polivisia, especially because the defenders used the property scattered and stored in various places to make the attacking soldiers have no fighting spirit, and only focused on making a fortune to make an army that was about to win. The strong army turned into a rabble, falling into a trap set by the defenders, and finally turned victory into defeat...
The only bright spot of the Alliance army in this battle was that its supreme commander, Marshal Pirag Ferriot, realized that the troops entering the city had fallen into the enemy's trap, and immediately took away all the Hicks Kingdom soldiers in the Alliance camp. wounded and logistical administrators, as well as any members of the Union military who were willing to go with him. At the same time, they also forcibly took away all the mounts of the light cavalry of the Principality of Karnas stored in the coalition camp, so that the victorious Thunder Legion and Rock Legion lost the most valuable batch of trophies.
In the Royal City of Polyvisia, the Alliance army invaded with about 310,000 troops, and Marshal Pyrrha Ferriot took away another 700,000 to 800,000 horses. In addition to the number of casualties caused by the capture of forward positions and the loss of the city wall, the Thunder Legion did not encounter any resistance when they finally captured the coalition camp, because the only ones left in the coalition camp were nearly ten soldiers from the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas. Thousands of wounded and sick people put another medical burden on the victor.
Fortunately, Marshal Pyrag Schieferriot was quite measured. When he evacuated the coalition camp, he did not take the advice of his subordinates and burned down the warehouses in the camp where grain, grass and military supplies were stored. He simply took away all his belongings and sidearms. In order to keep moving forward lightly, he ordered that apart from the necessary supplies for the long-distance march, he ordered not to carry anything else that would affect the speed of the journey, and finally left some spoils for the Thunder Legion.
After occupying the coalition camp, General Albert gave up chasing the group of fish that escaped from the Hicks Kingdom and returned to the royal city. But Claude immediately gave him another task: to transfer the 2nd and 3rd regiments, as well as the 7th and 8th regiments from the Thunder Legion, and then use officers and soldiers from other regiments to replace the vacancies of these four main field regiments and reorganize them into A temporary division. Claude asked General Albert to lead this temporary division to attack the Grand Duke Castle of Beaumaris, the capital of the Principality of Karnas, and destroy the Principality of Karrnus.
At this time, only more than 16,000 troops from three regiments of the second division of the Rock Legion were left in the Royal City of Polyvisia, as well as the remaining 6,000 troops from the Thunder Legion. More than 20,000 troops have to take care of more than 200,000 prisoners, sick and wounded of the Alliance army, which is very stressful. Fortunately, after the Battle of Polivisia, these prisoners of the Alliance Army were frightened out of fear, and they were very honest and obedient. Under the custody of the Thunder Legion, they formed a team every day to clean up the battlefield in the west area of the royal city, and had no sense of resistance.
The reason why Claude reorganized the temporary division was because of his military strength and speed. He hoped to capture the capital of the Principality of Karnnus in a sneak attack and catch the Grand Duke of Karnnus by surprise. Because the supreme commander of the alliance army, Marshal Pirag Ferriot, evacuated early, the Battle of Polivisia came to an imperfect end. Once the evacuation team led by Marshal Pyrag Sy Ferriot is out of danger, the news will definitely be passed on to the Archduke of Karnus as soon as possible.
Claude did not want the Grand Duke of Karrnus to flee and cause any worries to the Kingdom of Overas in unifying the eastern region of Farrea. The strength of a temporary division is enough to sweep across the entire Principality of Karrnath. This time the Principality of Karrnath provided three light cavalry regiments for the alliance army. If it were not for the support of the Kingdom of Hicks, the Principality of Karrnath would not be able to form such a force. Many people and horses. Now in the entire principality, there is only a Guards Division of the Grand Duke Castle of Beaumaris, the capital, and some local garrison forces. They cannot withstand the advance of the temporary division...
Although the strength of the Royal City of Polyvisia is a bit thin, the wounded in the past few months have recovered and left the treatment camp in the palace. After a while, two temporary field regiments can be reorganized to maintain order in the Royal City. and law and order. In addition, General Bolognik also sent a regiment, which together with a support group from the Thunder's 3rd Division, will reach the royal city in another five or six days.
The Battle of Polyvisia began on November 7, the first year of the Holy Light Calendar, when the alliance troops arrived at the Royal City of Polyvisia, and ended on November 29, when the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion fully recovered the western part of the Royal City. The last few hiding Hicks soldiers were discovered and captured. It lasts for twenty-three days. The Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion won the final victory. It can be said that from this day on, the Kingdom of Nasseri, the sworn enemy country that had been fighting with the Kingdom of Ovelas for nearly a hundred years, officially perished and withdrew from the historical stage of the eastern region of Farea continent...
The king of the Kingdom of Overas only received the report from the Thunder Legion and Rock Legion alliance on December 5th. During this period, there was a slight mistake. When the duty officer of the Kingdom's Army Department received this Falcon letter, he was very arrogant and thought that the two legions of the Overseas Dominion were bragging and lying. In his opinion, the Alliance Army has more than 500,000 troops, the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion. There are only 112,000 troops in the Nasseri Kingdom. How can it be possible to annihilate the alliance army and destroy the Nasseri Kingdom
So the officer on duty casually threw the falcon message aside and ignored it. It was not until half a month passed that the well-informed businessmen in the royal capital learned about the achievements of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion through fast horses and carrier pigeons, and began to publicize them. After the great victory in the Battle of Polivisia, celebrating the demise of the Kingdom of Nasseri, and even organizing a manned caravan to go to the Kingdom of Nasseri to seize business opportunities, Frederick I heard the news and approached the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department. Come and ask...
The funny thing is that these senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department did not receive any official report, so they swore in front of Frederick I that the news spread by the outside world must be rumors, or maybe it was the work of the overseas autonomous territories. They probably wanted to increase their voice in the royal court, so they spread rumors among the people and exaggerated the combat power of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion, hoping to gain the favor and attention of the people in the royal capital, and by the way, they packaged the two legions as the saviors and saviors of the kingdom. Hopefully, there must be an ulterior purpose in this.
Just when these senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department spread out the topographic map of the Kingdom of Nasseri in front of Frederick I, they analyzed and explained in detail why it was impossible to defeat the Alliance Army with the strength of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion, and it was even possible to defeat the enemy. When they withdrew from the Nasseri Kingdom in embarrassment in front of an army of five to six million people. The new Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Blancart, rushed into the royal court. He excitedly waved a falcon message in his hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Nasseri has perished. Long live the Thunder Army and Long Live the Rock Army."
Frederick I and the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Ministry were dumbfounded as the new Prime Minister, Marquis Blancart, went crazy in front of them. After a while, Frederick I asked in confusion: "Mr. Blancart, are you there?" Celebrating the demise of the Nasseri Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is absolutely true," Prime Minister Blancart shouted excitedly: "The Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion won the Battle of Polivisia. They wiped out more than 400,000 alliance troops. Hope The supreme commander sent by the Kingdom of Hicks, Marshal Pirag Hiferriot, fled back to the Kingdom of Hicks with 70,000 to 80,000 horses. The Kingdom of Nasseri was officially declared destroyed. This is a good day worth celebrating. , My Majesty, we don’t need to hear the name of this mortal enemy country again in the future.”
Prime Minister Blancart, who was cheering, looked at the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department who were stunned and asked with some confusion: "What are you doing here? You should be the first to get the news. Why do you look like this?" It’s strange that you haven’t received reports from the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion yet.”
A senior military officer asked with some embarrassment: "Mr. Prime Minister, where did you get this falcon letter? Is this information accurate?"
Prime Minister Blancart passed the Falcon in his hand to the senior officer: "See for yourselves, this is the autograph of General Bolognik of the Rock Army. He said on it that he had sent a report to the Kingdom's Ministry of War half a month ago. After receiving my Falcon Message, he was still puzzled as to why there had been no movement in the kingdom. I also heard the news from the family business this time and found it strange, so I directly sent the Falcon Message to him to ask him if the news was true... ..."
General Bolognik's private letter to the Prime Minister, Marquis Blancart, confirmed that the news circulating among the people in the royal capital was true and credible. However, Bolognik did not describe the battle process of the Battle of Polivisia, but only mentioned that the Thunder Army and the Second Division of the Rock Army, under the command of Claude, Generals Bichlin and General Albert, destroyed the Alliance army. More than 400,000 troops destroyed the Nasseri Kingdom.
At the same time, General Bolognik mentioned in this letter that Claude’s Falcon letter sent to the Kingdom’s Ministry of War half a month ago contained a detailed report on the Battle of Polivisia. The Prime Minister can go to the Kingdom’s Ministry of War to check. , which contains confirmed casualty data on both the enemy and our side and statistical reports on loot seizures, and requires the royal court to send officials to the Royal City of Polyvisia to take over the local administrative affairs of the Kingdom of Nasseri...
So King Frederic I, Prime Minister Blancart, and the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Ministry came to the Kingdom's Army Ministry together. After searching for more than half an hour, they finally found the information about the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion among the discarded documents. Jointly signed Falcon Eagle Letter. The above briefly tells the story of the Battle of Lower Polyvisia. The general idea is that Claude set a trap in the royal city of the Kingdom of Nasseri, luring the Alliance army into the city and falling into a trap. The Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion used ambushes and shelling to engage in street battles with the enemy, and finally eliminated more than 300,000 enemies who entered the city. They then counterattacked and captured the enemy's coalition camp, winning the battle...
The letter also listed the list of the more famous generals and senior officers of the alliance army who were killed and captured, as well as the amount of military supplies, food and grass captured in the alliance camp. As for property, Claude only mentioned the gold and silver reserves of nearly two million gold crowns in the Nasseri Kingdom's treasury that were seized in the royal city. The treasures captured in the library were completely forgotten...
As for Claude's letter, which suggested that the royal court dispatch officials as soon as possible to take over local administrative affairs, this is what it should be. After all, both the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion belong to the Overseas Dominion Military Region, and the territory occupied by the two legions does not belong to them. jurisdiction over overseas autonomous territories. This is the continent of Farea, not the continent of Nubisia, and the hands of overseas autonomous territories cannot be inserted here. In addition, leaving those cumbersome administrative matters to the royal court, Claude can focus on the reorganization of the two legions and the disposal of the spoils...
For these senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department, the found Falcon Message was a slap in the face. Earlier, they had sworn in front of Frederic I that the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion would inevitably fail. As a result, the defeater sent them the news of annihilating most of the Alliance army and annihilating the Kingdom of Nasseri, but it was in the army that they were defeated. The ministry was covered in dust for half a month. If the Prime Minister, Marquis Blancarte, hadn't heard the news and sent a message to General Bolognik, maybe this matter would have continued to remain silent.
If it is discovered later, the greater the humiliation of the Kingdom's Army Ministry will be. Didn't you see that the eyes of Frederick I now looking at these senior officers are full of suspicion? Maybe the seeds of distrust have been planted in His Majesty's heart. Anyway, from the debt At the beginning of the war, the judgments and predictions of the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department were often wrong, and few of them were accurate. Especially this time, it was so ridiculous that even the victory reports were casually thrown aside as lies... ..
The senior officers of the War Department had no choice but to look for a scapegoat. As a result, the officer on duty that day, the major who received the Falcon's message, was not timid. Instead, he made a lot of fallacies in front of Frederick I. He believed that he was not wrong, because the reason why he came to the conclusion that this good news was a lie was because he heard too many words in the War Department that were not optimistic about the two armies of the Overseas Dominion Military Region, and it was these words that were expressed by these people. Senior military officers.
In order to prove that their views were correct, these senior officers also conducted many actual sand table exercises in the Ministry of War. The final conclusion was that the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion would lose at least half of their troops, leaving the Kingdom of Nasseri in a hurry. Escape. The Alliance army will also suffer roughly one-third casualties. In the future, the two legions of the overseas autonomous territories will need to occupy new territories, and the Kingdom's Red Dragon Legion and Griffin Legion are in a standoff with the Alliance army on the border between the two countries. This stalemate will last until Until the Kingdom and the Alliance resume armistice negotiations and sign a peace agreement...
It was these senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department who instilled too much information that was detrimental to the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion to their subordinates, and expressed too many pessimistic views. Therefore, the major officer on duty had a preconceived idea and naturally believed that this good news was a lie. . So many seniors said that the two legions of the Overseas Dominion could not win, so this good news must be false.
Frederick I felt a little strange and asked: "Then you don't have your own judgment? As a soldier, you should have your own opinions. Besides, it is difficult to falsify such good news in war, and it is impossible to falsify it like this. There should be training on this in military schools."
To Frederick I's surprise, the major officer answered frankly: "Your Majesty, I have never attended a military school. I am from the Adriano family. My father forced me to serve in the Kingdom's Army Ministry. He said that I In the Army Department, as long as you obey the teachings of your seniors, your journey will naturally be smooth. My current military positions and missions have been arranged long ago... "
The Adriano family is a member of the old aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Overas. Among the four major military industries in the kingdom, the Telinas Manufacturing Workshop is led by the Adriano family. The Guard Corps has great power.
King Frederic I's face was livid. It was a joke that a nobleman who had never attended a military academy received the official rank of major as soon as he entered the Kingdom's Army Department. Even the most basic personnel promotion regulations of the King's team are ignored. It is simply unreasonable. No wonder there are such big omissions.
A senior military officer hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, although Major Adriano has not attended a military school, he is a talented student majoring in literature at the Cravely School of Art. We are civilian officers and in order to improve the conciseness of communications. He was specially recruited into the army and given the rank of major. He did not violate any military orders and regulations..."
"I remember the appointment of special recruits and civilian officers. The highest military rank is only captain..." Frederick I looked at the senior officer who came out to defend himself coldly for a while before he said this sentence. Then, turn around and leave.
Prime Minister Marquis Blancart looked at the farce in front of him and could not say anything. He could only sigh and chase after him...
On December 28, the royal court's falcon arrived at the Royal City of Polyvisia carrying a message. The letter appointed Claude as the interim governor of the Nasseri region, in charge of all military and political affairs. It was not until after the New Year's Eve that the royal court reconvened the court meeting on January 15th of the new year to discuss the candidate for the supervisor of the Nasseri area. Only then would they go to Polivisia to hand over to Claude. As for the great achievements of the soldiers of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion, they will also be announced at the first court meeting of the new year...
However, before receiving this falcon letter, Claude had also just received the falcon letter from General Albert. After seventeen days of long march, the temporary division he led arrived at the Grand Duke Castle of Beaumaris, the capital of the Principality of Karnas. It's just a pity that the Grand Duke of Karnas has packed up his belongings and taken his family, a light cavalry regiment loyal to him, and some nobles of the principality. It is said that they have taken a boat to the Principality of Hicks to take refuge.
General Albert and the temporary division failed and had to occupy several towns in the Beibu Gulf, and then sent a hawk message to Claude to report the victory.
The Principality of Karrnath also fell...
