Chapter 580: Siege


Everyone in Tabriz, the Zoroastrian Empire, from Darius III onwards, all the generals, ministers, and nobles did not expect such a thing to happen. otbnkotgt William is not the only one who knows that allying with these dark elves is seeking the skin of a tiger.

In fact, all the guys who deal with the dark elves understand this.

When dealing with these guys, it is best to have five people, watching carefully from the southeast, northwest, and the five directions above, so as not to be tricked by them.

However, the situation has developed to this point.

What is the use of talking about it now?

It is useless.

Even if you know it is a poisonous drink, you will die if you drink it.

But if you don't drink, you will die of thirst.

Things have developed to this point.

Apart from agreeing to the words of these dark elves, forming an alliance with them.

The Zoroastrian Empire had no other good ideas to think of.

Just, very surprising.

They originally thought that after forming an alliance with the dark elves, at least other threats would be reduced.

They felt that William and his army of nomadic conquerors would be wary after hearing that the two sides had formed an alliance and that their troops had swelled to half a million.

It will shift into a defensive posture.

Even if they take a step back, they will proceed with caution.

At least now, Tabriz is safe.

But they never expected that their wishful thinking was completely wrong.

After hearing about this, William not only did not stop the advance of his army, but also accelerated it.

Without anyone in Zoroastrian noticing or even thinking about it, his army of nearly 250,000 troops marched towards Tabriz as quickly as possible.

Caught off guard and completely unprepared, Zoroaster's army almost collapsed at the first touch.

In five or six days, almost every town and village in the entire outskirts of Tabriz was visited.

Even smaller cities.

Whether it is a small castle with good defenses or a small village with lax defenses and only wooden walls and fences, they will almost collapse at the first touch.

The spontaneously armed Zoroastrian militia, or those local armed forces, or even some regular troops deployed outside the imperial capital.

Even some so-called elite troops were defeated in an instant.

Tens of thousands of troops disappeared in an instant.

Then, before Zoroastrian kings and ministers had time to be surprised and angry, something more terrible happened.

The imperial army of conquerors began to besiege Tabriz.

The twelve-pound Napoleon cannon transported by William, coupled with the new picric acid-charged shells, destroyed Tabriz's city defense with just one round of bombardment.

The resulting violent fire chilled the people of Tabriz.

Many people are even surprised, frustrated, and afraid that Tabriz will not be able to sustain it for long.

I'm afraid it will soon be captured by the Hereford family's army.

"That's it."

That is to say, after the bombardment, the new auxiliary chiefs under the imperial army asked excitedly when they would launch an attack.

And fantasize about what benefits can be gained after conquering Tabriz.

William unexpectedly stopped attacking.

Then he smiled and said to them: "Wait for the opportunity.

There will be a battle for you to fight."

At first, these guys were a little confused.

But soon, these guys understood what William meant.

Just after Tabriz was attacked, the ministers who had once again pledged their allegiance to Tabriz were all panicked.

They first calculated, yes, although the situation now seems like the Hereford army of conquerors has the upper hand, it is not actually like that.

The army of the Hereford family only has the upper hand temporarily.

In fact, the ones who have the upper hand are still the guys they are loyal to.

Or the Alliance Army of Dark Elves.

After thinking about this, these guys made the decision to go to support.

Some guys wanted to preserve their strength, and some guys wanted to leave a good impression on Darius III, so they chose to go all out.

In any case, a large number of reinforcements attacked Tabriz, which was besieged by the Hereford family. passed.

Then he was defeated easily.

Because of the lack of time, and because in fact, these governors, generals and tribes are already independent forces.

Therefore, they do not belong to each other and even have some conflicts with each other.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural that these guys were defeated one by one and defeated by the conqueror army with advantages in mobility, combat power and numbers.

In the second week when William's army besieged Tabriz, the cities, towns, and mobile forces of the army that Tabriz could still control were almost wiped out.

Plus those troops killed while clearing the towns around Tabriz.

The 150,000-strong army of the Zoroastrian Empire shrunk by more than half in one breath.

Tens of thousands of troops were killed.

Tens of thousands more troops collapsed or were captured.

Every day, there would be people under the city of Tabriz, holding high the captured flags, holding prisoners of war and shouting loudly, claiming which supporting army they had defeated.

Under such circumstances, people in Tabriz were panicked.

Almost everyone is in despair.

At the same time, after losing so many troops and being beaten so badly, the governors, generals, and tribal leaders no longer dared to send reinforcements to Tabriz.

They have too much time to take care of themselves and cannot protect themselves.

Some people are starting to think about whether to place bets again.

In this case, even Nadir Shah was a little shaken.

What William did was as dazzling as anything he had done before.

Too scary, too incredible.

In this case, he also started to think about something.

That means even if we ally with the dark elves, can we really win?

Even if all of them play together, with their large number of people, they can defeat a great general like William and defeat a monster like William.

Thinking about it, it doesn’t seem very likely.

Of course, he is just worried and hesitant now.

Although worried and hesitant.

But in fact, my thoughts and choices have not changed.

That's because, even though those guys had outdated weapons and backward tactics, yes, I'm talking about the army of the Zoroastrian Empire.

Even though these guys were vulnerable, they were easily defeated by William.

But aren’t there other armies still there, namely those dark elves?

Yes, dark elves.

The legendary army of three hundred thousand.

If the Dark Elf's 300,000 troops were defeated by William, then without saying anything, he would run to William as quickly as possible and cry bitterly, claiming that he had done something wrong, and begging William to give him help.

A chance to change his past.

But if William is defeated by the 300,000 dark elves, then needless to say, he will not hesitate to add insult to injury and must leave this terrible conqueror on the cold Persian plateau.

With this in mind, Nadersha temporarily slowed down the pace of expanding his territory.

He also began to warn his subordinates not to fight against the Hereford family's eastern route army, that is, the partial division led by William's aunt Freya, in the short term.

At any rate, you have to wait until you see the situation clearly before placing a bet.

"That's it, the situation has improved further."

Under the city of Tabriz, William chuckled and said to the generals under his command, as well as the chiefs of various tribes and the Cossack Gemantes: "But of course, now There is still a small obstacle in front of us, which is the dark elves.

We have to defeat those dark elves in the next battle."

Hearing what William said, his subordinates were somewhat unconfident.

After all, the dark elves had an army of 300,000.

Just thinking about this number for a moment can break the confidence of many people.

The battle has come to this point.

William's army was slightly reduced in size.

The 50,000-strong partial division was detached, suffered battle losses, plus the expenses required to continue the siege of Tabriz.

In total, William had less than 200,000 troops left under his command.

And there are fewer elite troops.

In this case, can he really win the battle against the dark elves?

No one can tell.

No one dares to guarantee that they have such confidence.

"It's not three hundred thousand."

William corrected his subordinates' words: "It's one hundred thousand, plus one hundred thousand, plus one hundred thousand."

After hearing William's words, many people felt confused and confused.

However, some smarter guys quickly understood what William meant, that is, the dark elves made a huge mistake, that is, these dark elves were too impatient.

These guys couldn't wait to declare war on the Russian Gothic Empire.

But actually they are not ready yet.

Various materials are still being deployed, and the required troops are not yet in place.

Currently, the Ottoman Empire only has five legions and 100,000 troops on the front line.

Their main force, a total of 200,000 elite troops, is either on its way to the battlefield, or it is in the country and has not even set off yet.

This gave the Hereford family, William von Hereford, an excellent opportunity.

He can defeat them one by one.

Just like dealing with the various armies that assisted Tabriz before.

It's a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand defeats Obviously, this is beneficial to the Hereford family.

He divided the war into three wars of 250,000 versus 100,000, instead of 250,000 versus 300,000, or even 250,000 versus 500,000, or a last-ditch battle of 600,000.

This is William von Hereford's tactics, this is the tactics he came up with to restrain his people.

Yes, there are many of them.

But as long as the tactics are applied properly, there will be no problem at all.

When he thought of this, William smiled excitedly and happily.

That's right, everything is under his control.

Even the most powerful enemies can be easily defeated as long as they understand their weaknesses.

William thought so in his heart. 160420oshow7:
