The next afternoon, just after lunch, Duke Yinvanovich sent someone to send a battle report. They successfully recaptured Yinfujili. After paying a heavy price, they defeated the Kingdom of Windsor and at the same time defeated the Kingdom of Sardinia.
No one expected the outcome of the sneak attack. At the critical moment, Archbishop Henry rushed to the battlefield in time and rescued Duke Ivanovich, who was attacked from both sides.
Hearing that Archbishop Henry had come to the front line in person, Mavey finally felt relieved. He knew that the Wisdom Cult and King Paul I would not take action against the Church of Truth until the Feisalian coalition was dealt with.
The troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which temporarily retreated, numbered no less than 100,000. Although their equipment was not as good as that of Frederick's Kingdom, they also used magic that was unheard of in Mawei. The Plenty God Sect dispatched Archbishop Edmundo, and started a battle with Archbishop Henry in front of the battle. A match of the century.
The description in the battle report was not detailed, but from the few words above, Mavey could tell that Archbishop Henry was slightly better. He not only repelled the enemy, but also seriously injured Archbishop Edmundo.
The reason for the Kingdom of Sardinia to withdraw its troops was not the strength of Archbishop Henry, but a reason that Mawei could not guess at all - it was time to eat.
The war broke out under the city of Yinfujili in the morning. The soldiers from the Kingdom of Sardinia had traveled a long distance and rushed forward with their guns before they had time to eat breakfast. They continued to fight until noon. They were so hungry that they couldn't stand it any more. Complaints were everywhere and morale was low. In desperation, Marshal Ennio ordered the withdrawal...
Regarding this result, Ma Wei was both surprised and not surprised. He also had the illusion that there was nothing wrong with it and it should be like this.
But then he thought about it carefully and realized that something was wrong. During war, any country would provide the army with ready-to-eat dry food, such as bread and other foods that did not require cooking.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Although the taste is average, filling your stomach is not a problem....
Did the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia have no bread?
There must be, but they want to eat better.
In addition to the food issue, Mawei was not very clear whether the Battle of Chelyabinsk was the reason for the Kingdom of Sardinia's withdrawal.
Perhaps the Kingdom of Sardinia retreated after receiving news of the withdrawal of the Kingdom of Frederick.
If they do not withdraw, they will face a situation where they are attacked from both sides. The risk is too high and no commander will make such a stupid mistake.
"Duke Yinvanovich asked us to go to Nizhny Tagil to attend a military meeting." Katerina said after reading the battle report: "He named you and Edward to attend. It seems that Archbishop Henry already knows about the vampires. ”
The news of Edward's action cannot be hidden. Sooner or later, it will be leaked. If such a powerful extraordinary person suddenly appears, Duke Yinvanovich will of course have to react. For him, the good news is that Edward is standing. On the Romanov Kingdom side, the bad news is that Edward is helping Katerina. Unlike his camp, the two sides will have a fierce battle sooner or later.
"Do we dare to leave Chelyabinsk?" Bodlinov, who had a bandage on his shoulder, muttered: "I don't know when Frederick's Kingdom will launch an attack. They are probably waiting to see the situation. If, Your Highness, you and Mawei The priest and Mr. Edward left for Nizhny Tagil, and Chelyabinsk was empty...."
"We must attend this military meeting. We have to discuss the next military deployment of the Romanov Kingdom, which is very important." Katerina said: "What's more, we lost one-third of our troops yesterday. We want to stop Frederick The Lie Kingdom must replenish its military resources, otherwise there will not be enough manpower."
"If you can go back quickly, there should be no problem." Edward replied: "Jielan and Louise can last for a while. As the next generation of vampires, they also have extremely powerful abilities, even if they are one level lower than mine. , is also a combat power that cannot be underestimated.”
"Can they stop Pope Doppler II?"
"Pope Doppler II was injured by me yesterday. He does not have the blessing of the eternal realm and will not be able to recover in a short time."
"Father, what do you think?" Katerina looked at Mavi, who was silent.
"I have no opinion."
"Then let's decide." Katerina agreed: "Let's set off immediately and go to Nizhny Tagil!"
....................................................
Dozens of fast horses galloped on the winter road, with snowflakes flying under the horses' hooves. Mawei and several others were wrapped in thick cotton jackets and headed north to Nizhny Tagil in the biting cold wind.
Nizhniy Tagil lies in the center of the Ural Mountains. It is built at the outlet of the only flat passage that runs through the Ural Mountains from north to south. It connects the Siberian Plain and the Eastern Continent Plain. Its strategic significance is no less than that of the Strait of Gibraltar. It is an extremely important railway hub. .
Nizhniy Tagil is also an intermediate city between Yinvjeli and Chelyabinsk. No one suffers a disadvantage when holding a military meeting here, and the arrival time is basically the same.
Katerina only brought a few dozen guards with her on this trip. They seemed unprepared, but in fact they were followed by Ma Wei and Edward, and they were not afraid of Archbishop Henry.
On January 19, the third day after the Battle of Chelyabinsk, Mavi and others finally arrived in Nizhny Tagil, 300 kilometers away.
Like Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil also experienced fierce fighting. Countless houses were destroyed by artillery fire, and dark black blood stains remained on the ground that were difficult to wash away. Nearly half of the city was reduced to ruins, and even the railways were withdrawn. The enemy troops were blown up.
The main force of the Kingdom of Windsor was not placed in Lower Tagil. Katerina faced the Second Army led by Marquis James, and Duke Yinvanovich faced the First Army led by Baron Edwin. The two sides concentrated The total number of troops in Nizhny Tagil did not exceed 50,000. Even so, Nizhny Tagil still suffered heavy losses.
Just the reconstruction work after the war will cost no one knows how much food and supplies it will cost, which has once again made the Romanov Kingdom's already poor finances worse.
After arriving, Ma Wei and others rushed to the Central Church without stopping. This ancient building made of hard black stone has withstood the baptism of artillery fire and years and still stands. There is even half a statue of the God of Apocalypse Neleyinda in the preaching hall. A stone statue, but only half of it remains.
Duke Ivanovich and other senior officers who arrived early cleared the hall, simply set up a few tables, and then held a military meeting to decide the next move of the Romanov Kingdom.
The results of the meeting will be sent to Tyumen City after the meeting and presented to King Paul I. The battle plan will be signed by the names of all senior generals. Paul I cannot disagree, and Archbishop Henry is his spokesperson.
On the right side of a long table made up of several square tables, senior aristocratic officers headed by Duke Ivanovich and Paul I sat. On the left side of the long table, only Katerina, Mavey and Edward sat, while the main The seat is occupied by Archbishop Henry holding a scepter.
Squeak....
The church door slowly closed. Duke Ivanovich cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Now we will start a temporary military meeting. The enemy is facing us. The Romanov Kingdom has reached a very critical moment. I hope everyone will put aside their past grievances and propose a proposal." With insights and plans that are beneficial to the kingdom, the future of the Romanov Kingdom is in our hands!”
