"How did they appear?
Why did so many enemies appear at once?
How did the other party do it?"
Although he clearly knew that now was not the time to think about such things, General Leopold couldn't help but think about it like this.
He thought hard and had a headache.
Then, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be said that it is a boat?
Yes, it is a ship.
When the empire has enough ships and the Russian Gothic Empire has sufficient sea control, it can transport a steppe legion along the blue sea coastline to the west of the canal, put it down, and then attack the opponent.
's flanks. otbnkotgt It is completely different to say that it is a fantastic idea or a strategic idea of a great genius.
It was just something William thought of accidentally on a whim.
"Ah, that's it, it should be fine."
Then he arranged it casually.
"Although the methods are different, the meaning is similar.
I should say I am honored or sad to have the same tactical thinking."
After thinking about it, General Leopold had a bitter smile on his face.
Of course, although tactically, the Russian Gothic Empire's army was indeed similar to his expeditionary force, they were completely different in terms of ideas and realm.
For him, this tactic was the result of hard work.
After coming up with this tactic, he was so excited that he even thought that he was a genius tactician and that just by relying on this tactic, he could become the world's best general.
However, for William, this tactic meant nothing.
Easily at your fingertips.
Just think about it and you can think of it.
And William didn't feel at all how great he was for accomplishing this.
To him, this is just like a daily routine.
It’s a big and special book that is simply arranged.
It is even said that in the biographies and history books that William has scheduled to praise himself, this war does not have much weight.
From a purely tactical perspective, this war is nothing.
It can leave a mark in the history books and occupy a certain position, and its symbolic significance is even more important.
In other words, this war was the first war that broke out between the Russian Gothic Empire and the Visigothic Republic.
It proved that the two sides were about to launch an all-round confrontation.
The war with the Visigothic Republic would be one of the most important parts of William's war career.
It is for this reason alone that the war is noteworthy.
Of course, this is only William's own thoughts, not the thoughts of General Leopold opposite him.
If General Leopold knew about this war, and the commander of this war, that is, he, in William's mind If he was in such an insignificant position, he would probably vomit blood even worse than he is now.
Of course, he now has no time, no energy, and no channel to know what William is thinking.
He didn't have time to think about that kind of thing.
The expeditionary force of the Visigothic Republic is now facing the biggest crisis.
If it is not handled well, the entire army will be annihilated.
They were very desperate, very desperate, and kept retreating under the pressure of the empire's main force.
Each time, part of the troops were left behind as rearguard and defensive forces, bit by bit, layer upon layer, to resist and block the advance of the Russian Gothic Empire army.
The strong man broke his wrist.
At this moment, the heroism and military talent hidden deep in General Leopold's soul were fully revealed.
Without hesitation, he ordered batch after batch of soldiers to form defensive formations, and then fought against the approaching imperial army, buying time for his main force to retreat.
Although these rear-end troops organized for defense had little effect.
In most cases, under the attack of the imperial army like a violent wave, they were wiped out in an instant.

However, this time was still accumulated by him bit by bit.
He relied on this little time, bit by bit, to continuously widen the distance from the pursuing imperial army.
“Really wonderful” In this short time, the Russian Gothic Empire's troops deployed on the east bank of the canal had easily defeated the Nirosian desert cavalry and camel cavalry troops.
After easily defeating these guys, William crossed the river and came to the west of the canal, continuing to observe the trend of the war.
Even if the two sides have different positions, they are enemies.
After seeing the other party's response, William couldn't help but praise the other party.
If this sentence spreads, it would be enough for General Leopold who "wanted to be famous".
The exclamation and praise of Commander Wilhelm von Hereford, the world's first and unparalleled military strategist.
I'm afraid there are countless people in the world who want to say this even if they risk their lives.
It is even said that with this sentence, General Leopold would probably have no problem even if his entire army was wiped out and he could escape alone to the Visigothic Republic.
It's even said that he will be reused for this, and maybe he will be promoted to a higher level.
This is today's Wilhelm von Hereford.
The strength, power and reputation of His Majesty the Emperor, who is currently considered the best in the world.
But of course, even if he knew that something like this happened, General Leopold would never thank Emperor William.
In his opinion, Emperor William was perhaps the most evil and irritating person in the world.
Because this guy stole my dreams Although the premise of this dreamland is to make William weirdly become a stepping stone for him to get ahead, if you think about it for a moment, William will never be able to do this favor for him.
However, in his view William was therefore evil.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this idea.
Although William will never admit it.
Seeing that our own troops are so passionate and fighting desperately, just to open a passage for the main force.
General Leopold could not help but burst into tears.
"I will remember this lesson, Wilhelm von Hereford.
I will remember this war.
Next time, the next time I confront you, I won't lose as badly as I did today. " Of course, even though I say so, thinking so in my heart is actually of no use.
What is really useful is still the troops under one's own command.
After nearly a day of fierce fighting, General Leopold's original 100,000-strong army was reduced to less than 30,000.
All the Nirosian armies collapsed, not a single one was left.
And of the 50,000 expeditionary troops under his command, only these 30,000 were left.
All heavy weapons, artillery and baggage were abandoned.
The cavalry as the rear troops also suffered heavy losses.
If this continues, even if they can successfully break through, there will definitely not be many troops left.
"But I must escape, I must escape.
Only by escaping can I have hope, and only by escaping can I regroup."
At the same time, after William sighed a little, he remained calm and watched his troops continue to attack.
As he said before, he had no idea about the commander opposite, General Leopold.
There is no so-called sympathy and wanting to spare his life, nor is there a ruthlessness that wants to eradicate the root cause and kill this guy no matter what the cost.
This was of course because, to William, General Leopold was nothing.
Although the opponent's strength and command ability are quite acceptable.
But it's only to the extent that it's "reasonable".
For William, such an opponent is nothing worth paying attention to.
Just follow the normal process.
It's like he wrote the army drill code himself.
Pursue, pursue as much as possible.
But if the other party's resistance will cause unnecessary losses to one's own army, then relax it a little.
It would be great if all this enemy force could be wiped out.

But it doesn't matter if there is no way to annihilate all this enemy force.
The greatness of the Russian Gothic Empire, the strategy of the imperial army, this kind of thing is just a detail.
There is absolutely no need to be too entangled, too involved, or too serious.
It is precisely in this way that although William's enthusiasm was only "ordinary", for General Leopold, it was still a terrible, terrifying, and nearly devastating blow.
In the ensuing pursuit by the Imperial Army, General Leopold's troops suffered heavy losses.
After retreating for five consecutive days, he lost one rear troops after another.
At the same time, the harsh environment of the desert and the constant harassment by the cavalry of the Russian Gothic Empire also caused his troops to continue to suffer various losses.
In this way, after five days, after initially confirming that he was temporarily safe, General Leopold checked his troops and almost cried.
The losses were heavy.
The remaining 30,000 defeated soldiers were now reduced to less than 10,000.
And morale has dropped almost to rock bottom.
There is simply no possibility for such an army to continue fighting.
After "William von Hereford" swallowed this name together with a mouthful of blood that he almost spit out, General Leopold began to plan his next move.
At this moment, he had left Nirosia and came to the west of Nirosia, the territory of the Berbers.
The northern part of the green continent is a land called Africa.
Barren, desolate, cruel.
At the same time, it was not the territory of the Russian Gothic Empire.
At least, not yet.
"Then, what should I do next?"
General Leopold thought in his heart.
I hope it can make my future path a little easier.
Perhaps it was the favor of the Lord of Glory, or maybe his brain was somewhat enlightened after being beaten severely by William.
All in all, after thinking about it for a while, General Leopold really came up with some good ideas 160420oshow7:
