Chapter 1344: The Longest Day in the Luolin Empire (Part 2)

"We...can't win..."

Tears rolled down from Jozef's eyes one after another.

He has suffered repeated defeats from the beginning of the war to today, and his last effort - the plan to attack the British Army's Western Route Army camp at night, was also due to the dense reconnaissance network of the British Army. And declared failure.

Jozef's fighting spirit had been destroyed.

He had lost the will and confidence to fight and win the Britannia Army.

Under the overwhelming combat advantage of the Britannia Army, he now no longer even has the heart to resist.

The cavalry who were chasing him finally arrived as promised.

The cavalry at the forefront thrust out the spear in their hands and pierced Jozef who was lying on the muddy ground.

That movement was like crushing a bug on the ground.

…

…

"Veronica" plan - a careful combat plan designed to destroy the Rollin Empire.

Although the staff of the General Staff spent a lot of time to finally formulate the "Veronica" plan, the general steps of the "Veronica" plan are actually only three steps -

Step one: Break through the northern defense line.

Step Two: Capture Orleans.

Step Three: Capture Tuli and end the war.

These three steps are the general steps of the "Veronica" plan.

After signing the "Treaty of Troyes" with the Rollin Empire 8 years ago, which was undoubtedly the most humiliating and humiliating thing for the Rollin Empire, the central government of the Rollin Empire ceded all 7 provinces in the north of the empire to Britannia. Ya empire.

The seven northern provinces are not only important economically developed areas of the Luolin Empire, but also an important northern barrier for the Luolin Empire.

After all these territories were ceded to the Britannia Empire, it meant that the Rollin Empire gave its important barrier to the Britannia Empire, and it would be in a dilemma where it could not defend itself.

Because of this, many people with lofty ideals in the empire have been eager to take back the territories lost due to the Treaty of Troyes.

Although the seven northern provinces were lost, the Luolin Empire urgently repaired every city near the northern border line and turned all of those big cities into fortresses.

But in terms of overall defensive effect, it is definitely not as good as the northern defense line when their 7 northern provinces were still there.

The first step of the "Veronica" plan is the General Staff... No, it should be said to be the simplest step recognized by Ilsa, Camille, and most of the civil servants and knights of the empire.

From the beginning, the monarchs and ministers of the Britannia Empire did not pay attention to the defense of the northern defense line of the Rolin Empire.

It is not difficult for the Britannia Army to break through the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire.

The hard part is the next step.

Just as the first step of the plan is recognized as the easiest step, the second step of the plan - the capture of Orleans - is also recognized as the most difficult step.

With the seven northern provinces lost and the northern part of the Rollin Empire falling into an undefendable dilemma, the large city of Orleans became the last barrier to prevent the Britannia army from going south to attack Tuli.

Orleans is not a fortress.

But in terms of sturdiness, Orleans is no worse than any fortress in the continental countries.

Orleans is one of the largest cities in the Rollin Empire. It has city walls that are much higher than and much stronger than other ordinary cities.

As long as a sufficient number of soldiers are stationed, Orleans can be transformed into a solid copper wall.

At the same time - in terms of importance, Orleans is no worse than super fortresses such as Avalon Fortress and Muhawicz Fortress.

Especially now that there is no natural danger in the north of the Rollin Empire, and the army of the Britannia Empire can penetrate the north of the Rollin Empire at any time and at any time.

Orleans is located at an extremely important strategic point, just on the only way to Touri.

It can be said that without attacking Orleans, there is no way to attack Tuli.

Without attacking Tuli, there is no way to destroy the Luolin Empire.

Because of this, when formulating the detailed plan content of the "Veronica" plan, Su Cheng emphasized more than once in the General Staff Headquarters with the staff:

“The survival or failure of the Rollin Empire depends on——Orléans!”

…

…

April 20, 298 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

The northern defense line of the Rollin Empire collapsed.

From the beginning of the war to the time when the Britannia army completely destroyed the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire - only 10 days passed.

A total of about 100,000 Rollin Army generals stationed in the north were defeated, captured, and annihilated by the Britannia Army.

In the entire north of the Luolin Empire, no large-scale Luolin army could be found that was still resisting.

Judging from the current battle situation, it is obvious that the Britannia Empire has the absolute advantage.

Under the fierce attack of the Britannia army, the Luolin army was defeated and defeated again and again.

The development of the war situation was exactly as expected in the "Veronica" plan - their Britannia army completely wiped out the northern border troops of the Rollin Army without any pressure, causing the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire to completely collapse. Successfully completed the first step of the strategy set in the plan.

After a little rest, the three armies were ready to start the second step of the strategy set in the "Veronica" plan, which was also the most important step - the attack on Orleans.

As long as Orleans is captured, Luo Lin's army will lose their last barrier and completely lose the ability to fight back.

Therefore, it can be said that the next Orleans attack is the final battle of this "Southern Extinction War"!

The three armies led by Albert, Willy and Harry marched from different directions towards Orleans, a key town that determines the life and death of the Rollin Empire...

......

......

The survival of the Rollin Empire depends on Orleans - even the Britannians know this, and the Rollin people must know it too.

Originally, the central government of the Rollin Empire still hoped that the northern border army could keep the enemy out of the country.

As bad news came one after another, the illusions of the monarchs and ministers of the Rollin Empire were completely shattered.

Under the advice of the ministers, Queen Bella urgently activated Deni, who stayed in Tuli, and gave him 20,000 elite soldiers, asking him to lead these 20,000 elite soldiers to enter Orleans and defend the last hope of their Rollin Empire - Orleans.

Since Queen Bella and Vivian signed the "Milk Treaty", Deni has been staying in Tuli.

Because of this, Deni, who was far away in Tuli, had no idea that Bal and others intended to revolt. So Deni did not participate in the revolt of Bal and others.

In fact, after Bal and others decided to revolt, Leo once proposed to Bal: to pull Deni, who stayed in Tuli, to join the group.

According to Leo's idea, Deni was staying in Tuli. If Deni was allowed to join the group, he could just cooperate with them from inside and outside.

For Leo's proposal, Bal refused without thinking.

Because Bal knew that his revolt would definitely fail, and he didn't even have the chance to get close to Tuli.

Since there was no chance to get close to Tuli, why did Deni need to cooperate with them from inside and outside?

When he learned that Bal and others had launched an uprising, Deni's mood at that time was no longer described by such a low-level word as "shocked".

After Bal's uprising failed and all members were arrested, Deni was also one of the ministers who advocated for pardoning Bal and others.

Although Barr and others were finally sentenced to a very light punishment of "imprisonment", it was mainly because of Queen Bella's softness, but it was also inseparable from the credit of Deni and others who insisted on sparing Barr and others.

When Barr, Leo and others were arrested and the northern border army was annihilated, Deni became the only general that the central government of the Rolin Empire could rely on.

Queen Bella sent their last general to lead the army to garrison Orleans.

In order to enhance the combat power of the garrison and to defend Orleans, Queen Bella also pardoned a general from prison and let this general assist Deni to defend Orleans.
