In January 1773 in Galintia, the war between the Ford Merchant Union and the Kingdom of Trimble due to glass formula and production technology made the military who wrote the history of the Galintia continent war Scientists felt very headache, unable to write, and even had a quarrel over whether to record this war named as the War of Glass.
An expert on war history lamented that only 20 or 30 years of peace made the Ford Business Alliance forget how to fight. As for the performance of the Trimble Kingdom's army, it was a joke. In the Glass War, the performance of the two was like a big village fight, without a formal offensive and defensive battle, field battle or general battle. The whole war was full of betrayal, surrender, robbery, bargaining and intrigue.
Finally, the description in the history of the Gelinthian War is that in this glass war that affected the situation of the entire continent and forced the strong rise of the Ford Business Alliance, although it lasted for eight months, it led to the demise of the Trimble Kingdom. It also affected the disappearance of the seven neighboring countries. In fact, this war is just a chaotic party with no organization, no discipline, no strategy, and no purpose. To be correct, this should be a feast of conspiracy and carnival of carve-up.
Looking back at some details of the war from the beginning, it really makes people laugh out loud.
For example, Earl Edmund, the commander of the 50,000 army of the Trimble Kingdom who had received the order of Trimble VII to march towards the city of Morente, ordered the troops to assemble in formal attire to attack the mana controlled by the Business Alliance. He marched to the city of Bruvik on the hill plain, and ordered the military band to play along the way.
If this is a surprise attack plan to confuse the enemy, then it is acceptable. The problem is that in Lord Earl Edmund's mind, the march should have been like this. As a result, the parade confuses the patrol team of the City Defense Army of the Commercial Alliance. I wonder if the high-level executives of the Commercial Alliance have reached an agreement with the Trimble royal family
These patrolling city defense squads who did not regard these Trimble Kingdom troops as enemies began to stand on the side of the road or follow the march to watch the performance of the military band, and even notified the city defense captain of Bruvik City to come out of the city to greet them. The captain of the city defense army was also confused, thinking that I didn't receive any orders or notices
So he ran to the top of the city to confirm that the Trimble Kingdom's army was marching peacefully. They didn't even send out scouts. It looked like they were marching at the homes of their allies. The captain of the city defense army had no choice but to curse where the messenger must be. I was so drunk that I didn't receive the news. While packing up my luggage and going outside the city to meet him, I wanted to ask what happened to the other party's commander
The first city of the business alliance was lost inexplicably. Lord Earl Edmund ordered the troops to proceed to the next Leite city, and occupied Leite city in the same way. If Earl Edmund realizes at this moment that his army's parade-like parade confuses the enemy and allows him to quickly occupy the two cities, then if the enemy has not reacted and continues to march for a few more cities, Then Earl Edmund will definitely be on the ranks of famous generals in the mainland.
It's a pity that Earl Edmund didn't realize that even the two commanders of the city defense army who came out of the city to meet them were regarded by him as surrendering to him because they were afraid of his army. So he didn't see these two commanders either. The names sounded like civilians. If there was anything good to see, he asked the soldiers to lock them up first.
Lord Earl Edmund is now concerned about the time for afternoon tea. He is already satisfied with going to two cities in one day. It seems that he can hold a grand dinner to reward himself in the evening, especially since there are several noble widows and All the ladies live here, the Earl thinks that if they get to know him as a famous general, maybe there will be a pleasant encounter waiting for him.
An order was issued to the Trimble Kingdom's army to take over the city defenses. Entry and exit were strictly prohibited. Here a sumptuous dinner was prepared for the Earl, and the soldiers of the Trimble Kingdom, who were grazing sheep, took to the streets in groups of three and four and began to harass Liet City. of the common people. Only then did the city defense patrol teams of the commercial alliance outside the city react. Damn, they are the enemy and they are here to attack us...
The City Defense Army of the Commercial Alliance cannot be blamed for their carelessness, mainly because they have been brainwashed. They have always believed that the Trimble Kingdom is the most steadfast comrade in arms of the Commercial Alliance. Even after the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce attack, most of the city defense troops still Insist that this is just a commercial conflict, and the upper management will soon mediate successfully.
Another reason is that it is winter now. Although the Faliqiu Plain is much warmer than the Northland, it is not used to fighting in winter. Most of the members of the city defense army went home on vacation to accompany their wives and children. When the Trimble Kingdom's army marched, it confused the city defense squads on patrol missions. Who heard of using parade marching troops to attack
In the evening, the news that the Trimble Kingdom launched a war and took the initiative to attack the business alliance and conquered two cities reached Morente City. Instead, he looked serious. When did the Trimble Kingdom's army have such a strong fighting force that it even took down two cities in one day.
You must know that the city defense army of the Commercial Alliance is a very powerful defense force that has gone through countless cruel offensive and defensive battles. Under their defense, it was able to win two cities in a row. Threats of war to the business alliance seem to rely on the powerful combat effectiveness of this army.
But since someone knocked on his door, he couldn't be a coward. Soon, the business alliance made a decision to declare war overnight. Considering the cruelty and protractedness of the war, the Big Seven decided to launch a national anti-Japanese war to resolutely drive out the invading army of the Trimble Kingdom, and promised that when the lordship system was implemented this year, the meritorious service of this self-defense counterattack would be used. The personnel are taken into consideration, and the corresponding titles and fiefs are awarded to them according to their merits.
The president of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, William Comberright, took over the burden of the president and commander in chief of this self-defense counterattack very seriously. In view of the strong combat effectiveness of the Trimble Kingdom's army, he carefully took countermeasures, preparing to bring the temporary army of the Business Alliance to Credo City in three days. This was the third battle that the Trimble Kingdom's army faced. The city is also their next target.
Chairman Camberlet has sent a letter overnight to the city defense army of Credo City, and it is strictly forbidden to fight. No matter how picky the enemy is, he will take the defense of Credo City as his top priority. As long as Credo City is defended, the army of the Commercial Alliance will Use this as a barrier, a deep ditch barrier, just like the invading army of the former Krissen Empire decades ago, and fight with them to delay until the enemy is dragged down, so that this self-defense counterattack can be completed. Victory has been achieved.
To be honest, the Ford Business Alliance doesn't pay much attention to military strength. Even though they have fought against the former Krissen Empire for more than a hundred years, their standing military strength has always been small, not even comparable to a small principality. Sitting on the fertile Mana Hill Plain and Cristo Hills, and a unique hidden bay, the commercial alliance has only three regular troops, the city defense army, the patrol brigade, and the armada.
In addition to Morente City, there are seven other cities in the Fali Hill Plain, but only a 2,000-strong city defense brigade is assigned to defend each city. Morente City is better, with two city defense brigades of more than 4,000 people. The Krystal Hills are about the same size as the Mana Hill Plains, but there is only one light cavalry patrol brigade, and the patrols will be done once a month.
The wealthiest is the Armada, which is mainly responsible for defending against pirates' looting and invasion of Morente City, so it is quite straightforward to allocate funds, after all, it is related to their own wealth and life. However, some members of the Alliance Council proposed that it is better to hand over the Armada to the Chicod Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, they are the overlords of the sea, and they will be responsible for the safety of the sea in the future. This will save the business alliance a lot of military expenditures.
However, this proposal was rejected by the Chicod Chamber of Commerce. Their fleet is fighting for hegemony at sea because they want to do business and monopolize the commercial routes on the sea.
The most difficult thing is the city defense army, a brigade of more than 2,000 people in a city, and those councilors still refuse to let them go, thinking that the former Krissen Empire is gone, the threat from the north is gone, and Zhou Bian is on good terms again. Kingdom Principality, then it is useless to keep this city defense army. It is better to disband and let each city organize its own garrison to defend the city, which will reduce military expenditure...
The problem with merchants in power is that they hate all expenditures that do not bring them profits. Every year, there will always be countless quarrels when discussing the administrative and military expenditures of the commercial alliance. This is both the short-sightedness of the merchants and the sorrow of the alliance soldiers. However, the seven giants of the Supreme Business Council were still sober-minded, and for five consecutive years rejected the resolution of the Secondary Alliance Council that called for the disbandment of the City Defense Force and the reduction of the size of the Armada.
Just look at the alliance self-defense counterattack army organized by President Camberlet of the Two-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce. You will know what kind of goods the city defense army brigade drawn from Morente City and the light cavalry patrol brigade from the Christopher Hills are absolutely. the main force. The rest are the seven armed brigades formed by the seven major chambers of commerce, which are relatively elite, and then the militia squadrons provided by the second- and third-rate chambers of commerce, and those mercenary regiments. For the residents of the city, within three days President Camberlet had 50,000 troops under his command, but these 50,000 troops were a mob.
President Camberlet didn't care if the 50,000 people were mobs or not. The business alliance was used to fighting defensive wars of attrition. For hundreds of years, these mobs had blocked the mighty Krissen Empire's troops. With such confidence, it should be no problem to resist the mighty Trimble Kingdom army.
What makes President Camberlet most confident is that despite the fact that these subordinates are messy and have not received much formal military training, their high-end force is extremely powerful. The leaders of the mercenary group are basically gold-ranked mercenaries. Soldiers and swordsmen, members of the seven armed brigades organized by the seven chambers of commerce have all awakened their grudges, and each has a great swordsman sitting in charge.
Teams like this are terrible to put together, but once they are separated and stationed, they can form strategic points that make it difficult for the enemy to attack and cause headaches. If you want to conquer such a stronghold, it is almost impossible to conquer without paying the price of several times the loss of elites or using high-end force. This is the defensive experience and key points of the business alliance in resisting the invasion of the former Krissen Empire for more than a hundred years.
However, the changes in the battlefield situation were beyond everyone's expectation. As the experts commented after the war, the Ford Business Alliance's army was a rabble, and the Trimble Kingdom's army was a big joke.
When Chairman Camberlet led more than 50,000 alliance self-defense counterattack troops to approach Credo City and prepare to deploy a tough defensive line to make Trimble's army face a bloody blow, a message from Liete City Everyone was dumbfounded by the news, and it was almost suspected that they had heard the legend of the novel...
Earl Edmund has been in Liet City for three days. The main reason is that he met two beautiful and extraordinary courtesans here. My lord reported to his king that it was a cold winter, with heavy snow and snow on the road, and it was not easy to walk on the road, so he had to stay in Liet City for a while and wait for the snow to melt before marching...
Trimble VII thought that Lord Earl Edmund's words were very reasonable, and he easily believed the words of the famous general, who was able to conquer two cities in one day, and stayed in the capital with peace of mind, waiting for the news of the victory of the business alliance to come from the front line. He didn't think about it, just like Lord Earl Edmund said, how could the messenger go back and forth in a day!
Just the night before President Camberlett's army arrived in Credo City, the former vice-captain of the City Defense Army of Liete City, the golden swordsman Jie Shibang gathered up and went home for the winter. He went out on patrol and escaped because the city was occupied. Of the 1,148 soldiers of the City Defense Army, more than 400 of the 2,000-strong Liet City City Defense Army were captured and imprisoned by the Trimble Kingdom's army, and more than 300 were killed or killed because of resistance. Most of the rest is here.
Jie Shibang said: "Brothers, our city defense army has always loved grandma and uncle, those members of the chamber of commerce have been eager to disband us to save military expenses, but forgot that our ancestors were resisting Kerry for the freedom and independence of the alliance. How much sacrifice and contribution he made during the Mori Empire.
The city defense army is a unit with a glorious history and honor, but we let him have a shameful historical record, and lost Liete City in our hands. I will never reconciled to the shame of losing my defensive position when people are still alive, so I will attack the enemies who occupy our city at night, and some people will fight with me to die on their own positions ? "
More than 1,100 soldiers of the city defense army were passionate and expressed that they would die on the battlefield. Under the leadership of Jie Shibang, they secretly entered the city through secret passages and launched a suicide attack on the city defense mansion.
In the more than 100 years of defensive war against the Krissen Empire, the city defense forces of the Commercial Alliance have summed up a lot of experience. For example, each city has three or four secret passages leading to the outside of the city. This is not only the way to escape but also the way to counterattack. Road, as long as there are secret passages, even if the enemy takes the city, the city wall cannot become a barrier for the enemy to rely on for defense. The city defense army that appears in the city from the secret passage can always attack from behind the enemy's unexpected, thus taking back the city and destroying it. enemy.
This time is no exception. The attack by the city defense army of more than a thousand people on the city defense mansion was a big surprise to the Trimble Kingdom's army. Earl Edmund, who was having an in-depth exchange of candlelight with two confidantes in the inner courtyard of the city defense mansion As soon as the sound of killing was getting closer, he jumped up from the bed naked, and reached out to fish for it, but he didn't find any clothes, only a ribbon worn obliquely outside the dress.
The Earl of Edmund hung the ribbon on his naked body without changing his expression. He had already rushed out of the house and turned to the stable in the backyard. After getting on the horse, it was too late and then too soon, the soldiers of the city defense army just rushed into Earl Edmund's bedroom and looked at the two bare * ass * beautiful women on the bed in a daze, and forgot to ask where the enemy chieftain was? Lord Earl Edmund has whipped his horse, rushed out of the city guard's mansion, and left...
Hearing the cries of fighting from the city guard's mansion, the soldiers of the Trimble Kingdom who were about to go to the rescue saw a strange sight. The naked Earl Edmund was riding naked with a ribbon on his horse. Coming, passing by in a flash, came to the city gate and shouted: "I am Earl Edmund, open the door and let me out..."
Earl Edmund forced his way out after the door was only a crack open, and the sound of horseshoes went all the way...
Who would make fun of his own life after the coach has run away, everyone run away...
Thus, one of the strangest and most incredible results in the history of the Galintian War was produced. More than 1,100 city defense troops of the Commercial Alliance attacked Liete City guarded by 45,000 troops of the Trimble Kingdom at night in a suicide attack. As a result, the commander of the Trimble Kingdom, Earl Edmund, fled naked on horseback. The 45,000 troops of the Bo kingdom collapsed on the spot, followed by more than 10,000 people who fled, and the remaining 27,000 people put down their weapons and surrendered. It is said that these soldiers sat in neat rows by the side of the street and piled up their weapons together , waiting to surrender...
Jie Shibang, the deputy captain of the city defense army who became famous in World War I, cried. He had so many soldiers to guard the 27,000 prisoners! There are less than 900 people who can stand still, so the urgent letter received by President Camberlet is to hope that he will rush to Liete City to take the prisoners...
Earl Edmund lost two cities in one day, and lost two cities in one night. He ran out of Liete City and came to Bruvik City and shouted at the door. There were still 5,000 Trimble Kingdom soldiers stationed here. While waiting for the city gate to open, smoke and dust billowed in the distance. It was the soldiers of the Trimble Kingdom who had followed and fled. But Earl Edmund had already become a frightened bird. How could he have time to distinguish? The Bo Kingdom fled, and the soldiers who fled behind also ran to the Kingdom...
The soldiers of the Trimble Kingdom at the head of the city of Bruvik saw it, and thought that forty-five thousand people were defeated and fled back to the country, why are we still staying here, and they also ran away after Kaicheng. The city of Bruvik was inexplicably lost and inexplicably recovered.
Two days later, Chairman Camberlet brought 50,000 alliance self-defense counterattack troops to the border between the two countries. Needless to say, the entanglement, the self-defense counterattack collapsed without hitting the enemy in the first battle, what should we do now, go to Trimble The kingdom fights back in self-defense
The seven giants were discussing how to end up there, but the armed forces organized by the second- and third-rate chambers of commerce under their command, the mercenary group, and the volunteers of the Morente City militia were not happy. To put it bluntly, everyone was doing it for military exploits, lords, and fiefdoms. Come on, who would like to just walk around the border like this? So he spontaneously went deep into the Trimble Kingdom.
The Seven Giants hesitated at the border for two days, and the news came from the front that they had already occupied two counties of the Tribe Kingdom. What should I do now? When the troops are withdrawn and go back, those people below should mutiny. The president of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce gritted his teeth and said that he might as well destroy the Trimble Kingdom. Firstly, the alliance’s implementation of the lord system requires the conferring of territories, and secondly, there is a single-minded king beside the commercial alliance, which will make us more prosperous in the future. Don't worry, we already have the formula and production process of glass, so we will also occupy the Quartz Mountain in the Kingdom of Trimble, which is the largest raw material for glass, just to save the cost of glass production...
Since the Kingdom of Trimble is such a dish, the delicacy delivered to your mouth must be eaten, it's done! President Camberlet gritted his teeth, and the self-defense counterattack army of the Business Alliance turned into an invading army of the Business Alliance, striding forward towards the Trimble Kingdom.
