To the south of the Sark Kingdom, close to the border of the Lampali Kingdom, is a mountain range that is not too high but stretches very long.
When the Lampali Kingdom was successfully established, it took away a large area of land south of this mountain range from the Sak Kingdom. In the end, the two kingdoms used this mountain range called Murto as the border, with the Sak Kingdom in the north and the Sak Kingdom in the south. It is the Kingdom of Lampali.
For this reason, everyone in the Sark Kingdom, from His Majesty the King to ordinary civilians, desperately hopes to seize this land from the Lampali Kingdom.
Therefore, hundreds of years after the founding of the Lampali Kingdom, the disputes on the border mountains between the two countries have never stopped.
Although neither country has the courage or economic strength to launch a full-scale war, small frictions will always occur.
Every year, the Sark Kingdom invests a lot of manpower and material resources on this border. On average, the number of people lost every year alone reaches thousands, and the resulting economic losses are measured in hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Although the Sark Kingdom has always had the upper hand in previous border disputes, it has not actually gained much advantage.
After so many years, they have only advanced the control area from the northern foot of the mountain range when the Lampali Kingdom was founded to just beyond the mountain range. Every time they want to continue to advance, they will encounter strong resistance from the Lampali Kingdom's northern army.
At the beginning of this year, at the suggestion of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Sark, and after careful planning by the Kingdom's military department, the Greedy Wolf Corps guarding the southern border of the Kingdom of Sark launched a super-large raid that was completely different from the past.
Faced with the uncharacteristically large-scale invasion of the Sak Kingdom, the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom was caught off guard and was unable to resist. In just one week, they were directly driven out of the original control area by the Greedy Wolf Legion, leaving the entire Murto The mountains all fell under the control of the Sark Kingdom.
Regarding this result, the entire Sak Kingdom was extremely excited.
For the ordinary people of the Sak Kingdom, this has a very strong symbolic meaning, which means that the original balance between the Sak Kingdom and the Lampali Kingdom has finally been broken, and the Sak Kingdom has won a great victory for the first time. For the first time, he had a real advantage.
For the Sark Kingdom's military department, this was a gratifying result. Because as long as you completely control the main Muerto Mountains, you will have an absolute geographical advantage.
For the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom, if they want to counterattack. It is necessary to attack upward from the foot of the mountain, which is countless times more difficult than a frontal attack on flat ground.
This is also true.
When the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom finally stabilized its position under the sudden attack of the Greedy Legion of the Sac Kingdom, and launched a counterattack while the Greedy Wolf Legion built fortifications on the Muerto Mountains in order to stabilize their position, However, due to the disadvantage of attacking from the rear, facing the solid defense of the Greedy Legion, there was no way to achieve any results, and in the end they had no choice but to retreat, leaving thousands of lives behind.
From the perspective of the Sac Kingdom's military department, this actually means that the Sac Kingdom has completely controlled the Muerto Mountains.
From then on, because of its absolute geographical advantage. The Sac Kingdom relies on the Muerto Mountains and can advance, attack, retreat or defend. The entire northern part of the Lampali Kingdom will be exposed to the fangs of the Greedy Wolf Legion and can wreak havoc at will.
However, the good times did not last long.
After the cold winter at the beginning of the year, the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom once again launched a counterattack. However, the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom found that the Zhenbei Army's counterattack this time was extremely fierce, and it was extremely difficult for them to resist.
In less than a month, the Greedy Wolf Legion had actually lost two mountaintops, and the defenses on the entire mountain range had suffered a serious blow.
If it hadn't been for the Sak Kingdom's military headquarters to make a prompt decision, it would immediately strengthen its support for the Greedy Wolf Legion, and even bring in another Tiger Legion to assist in the defense. I am afraid that the Muerto Mountains, which was finally obtained, will be taken back by the Zhenbei Army again.
The Zhenbei Army's combat effectiveness suddenly increased sharply. There was only one reason for this result, and that was the change in the Zhenbei Army's equipment.
Before this, although the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sack Kingdom had always been at an advantage against the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampali, in fact, within the Greedy Legion, they had always had a very high evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampali. .
Because compared with the full armor of the Greedy Legion. The equipment worn by the soldiers of the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army was really terrible.
During the previous battle with the Greedy Legion, the soldiers of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampali could not even guarantee a set of armor for each of them. Many soldiers were only wearing worn-out leather armor.
Moreover, the weapons on them were obviously very worn out, and their sharpness, weight, and quality could not be compared with the weapons of the Greedy Wolf Legion soldiers.
No one knows better than the soldiers themselves that good weapons and equipment can improve a soldier's combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Greedy Legion's soldiers were able to face them with only a little care in such a difficult environment. At a disadvantage. It was a sign of great admiration that they could hold their position in the mountains of Muerto.
Sharon Linur, the commander of the Greedy Legion, expressed his emotion to the chief of staff of the Legion Aiwe Joao more than once in private. Fortunately, the Lampali Kingdom is too poor. Otherwise, if the Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army had the same resources as the Greedy Wolf Legion, equipment, then the Murto Mountains would have been snatched away by the Zhenbei Army long ago.
And now, what Sharon Linur was most worried about happened.
During this counterattack, Sharon Linur, who was personally supervising the battle on the front line, saw with his own eyes that every soldier of the Northern Army of the Lampali Kingdom who rushed up the hill to attack the defensive position built by the Greedy Legion was wearing a full set of He was wearing brand new, bright, uniform armor, and at the same time he was holding a weapon in his hand that was radiating cold light and looked very sharp at first sight.
While Sharon Linur and the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion were still surprised, they were even more shocked to find that the armor of these soldiers of the Zhenbei Army was extremely hard, even if they were bathed in the overwhelming rain of arrows. When he came up, he was unscathed.
As a high-level general, Sharon Linur watched helplessly as a soldier of the Zhenbei Army who rushed to the front was clearly shot by at least a dozen bows and arrows, but the armor on his body only showed a little bit of damage at most. There are no traces, let alone being shot through, there is not even any deformation at all!
And when the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army rushed to the top of the mountain and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Tanlang Legion, everyone in the Tanlang Legion was extremely shocked to find that the quality of the weapons in their hands was actually different from the weapons in the hands of the Zhenbei Army soldiers. Far away, both sides tried their best to fight at the same time, and the weapons of the Greedy Wolf Legion soldiers must have been destroyed in the end.
Even the weapons in the hands of some Greedy Wolf Legion soldiers were slightly inferior, and they were directly chopped off by the weapons of Zhenbei Army soldiers.
With such an obvious equipment gap, and the fact that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army was much stronger than that of the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion, a normal battle lost its suspense the moment the two sides came into contact.
Even though the Greedy Wolf Legion had advantages in terms of personnel and terrain, it was still unable to withstand the attack of the Zhenbei Army.
If the Zhenbei Army had not taken the initiative to retreat after gaining some results, the Greedy Wolf Army would have lost far more than two hills in the first week.
After the fierce counterattack by the Northern Army of the Lampali Kingdom, when the Greedy Wolf Legion was having internal discussions, they were both happy and confused about this.
Fortunately, the Zhenbei Army took the initiative to retreat, so that the Greedy Wolf Army would not be completely defeated.
This is also the question.
The Zhenbei Army clearly took the initiative and advantage on the battlefield, but unexpectedly chose to retreat. Why
The answer will be revealed in half a month.
After the first raid on the Muerto Mountains by the Lampali Kingdom, they paused for more than half a month before launching their second raid.
The Greedy Legion was originally prepared to welcome the fierce attack launched by the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army with their superior weapons and armor, but they did not expect that this time the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army would not attack the mountain at all, but directly push out several strange-looking monsters at the foot of the mountain. Huge machinery.
Then I saw countless huge stones being continuously fired from these weird huge machines, hitting the defensive position of the Greedy Wolf Legion on the top of the mountain with great accuracy.
Under this continuous and powerful boulder offensive, the Greedy Wolf Legion's position was declared lost even after being unable to hold on for an hour.
And every time the Greedy Wolf Legion wanted to take advantage of the terrain to rush down the mountain to attack this weird-looking giant machine, they always faced an extremely dense rain of arrows, almost like a rainstorm, making the soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Legion just If you rush out of the camp, you will be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.
Unable to defend and attack, the officers guarding the position of the Greedy Wolf Corps saw that the situation was not good and could only announce their retreat.
However, the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army did not choose to retreat this time. After capturing a position, they were unreasonable and pushed forward one position after another.
And when the Greedy Wolf Army figured out that there were actually only three weird-looking giant machines, and wanted to launch a counterattack against positions that were not guarded by these three giant machines, they would always face an overwhelming rain of arrows. In addition, the Zhenbei Army was now counterattacking. The overcoming equipment suppression made the Greedy Wolf Legion's offensive all in vain.
The battle lasted for just over a month, but the Greedy Wolf Legion actually lost all its positions in the Muerto Mountains, and was even driven out of the Muerto Mountains by the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom.
So just over three months later, the situation on both sides completely reversed.
Now, it is the Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army that occupies the absolute terrain advantage, and relies on the sophisticated weapons and equipment in their hands, as well as so many arrows that they seem to use no money at all, coupled with the three incredibly powerful giant Machinery makes the Greedy Wolf Legion have no hope of counterattack.
However, regarding this result, everyone in the Greedy Wolf Legion, including Sharon Linur, was unconvinced and angry, but most of all, they were full of doubts.
How come the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army became so rich all of a sudden
