Chapter 976: Issel's Defeated General

Walter is a very capable veteran. Through clever deployment of his troops, he defeated our three armies in one fell swoop. "

"Only the last army led by my father has not been defeated."

"Father has only 60,000 people under his command, while Walter's command has a full 230,000 people, and Walter's troops have high morale because they just defeated our 3rd Army."

"No matter how you look at it, my father is at an absolute disadvantage."

"But even at such a disadvantage, my father successfully turned the tide and relied on his 60,000 men to counterattack Walter's 230,000 troops."

"In that battle, my father's troops killed and injured more than 100,000 Frankish troops, and also killed and captured many Frankish generals."

Speaking of this, Alyssa's face was filled with pride.

"Both our country and the Frankish Empire suffered heavy losses in this 'Square Star' offensive."

"But thanks to my father's efforts to turn the tide, our country avoided a humiliating defeat."

"Two years later, due to his great achievements in the 'Four Square Star' offensive, my father was promoted to a unified knight and the leader of the Gabriel Knights, becoming the 12th unified knight in the history of the empire."

"It can be said that it was with this 'Four Square Star' offensive that my father finally obtained the qualification to become a unified knight."

After listening to Alyssa's explanation quietly, Kyler finally showed a look of enlightenment.

"Oh I see."

Kyler nodded and then continued:

"That is to say - that Walter was defeated by Mr. Iser 11 years ago."

"And now, the commander-in-chief of the Frankish army is the defeated general of this Walter and this Mr. Iser."

"That's right." Alyssa continued with a smile on her face, "That's why I said this is good news."

"Well, that's good news indeed." Kailuoer smiled, "It is indeed very reassuring to have this former subordinate as your future opponent."

"So - grandma, just relax.

"Alyssa took a few steps forward so that she could be closer to Belinda.

He raised his hand and patted 1 Belinda on the shoulder, then continued:

"Give your father more confidence!"

"Father will definitely come home victorious!"

"Father will definitely be able to defeat Walter just like the 'Four Square Stars' offensive 11 years ago!"

After hearing Alyssa's comfort, the gloom that covered Belinda's face became less.

"Yeah." Belinda nodded slightly and forced out a somewhat ugly smile, "I hope so..."

…

The Britannia Empire, the Rhine Front, somewhere.

A winding, huge "black snake" is "crawling" at high speed from south to north along the Rhine Front.

This "black snake" was the Britannian army rushing to the Rhineland Plain under the command of Iser and Albert.

The formation of Britannia generals in black armor looked like a huge black snake if viewed from above.

When rushing to the Rhineland Plain, there were still troops arriving later and merged into this "black torrent".

According to Iser's estimate, he should be able to assemble an army of 300,000 troops by the time he reaches the Rhineland Plain.

300,000 troops - this is already three-quarters of the current combat strength of the Rhine Front.

After the central government changed the deployment of troops on each front, Albert led the 100,000 troops of the Rachel Knights to station on the Rhine Front, plus the 300,000 Gabriel Knights originally stationed on the Rhine Front. The total number of troops on the Rhine Front was 400,000.

This time Iser brought three-quarters of the combat power of the Rhine front to intercept the Frank army.

Iserben wanted to bring more troops, but the tight time no longer allowed him to do so.

Moreover, even if there is plenty of time, Iser cannot bring more troops.

Because——he couldn’t bring all the troops on the Rhine Front.

The Rhine Front was so long that enough soldiers had to be left to guard each important stronghold.

If all the 400,000 troops on the Rhine Front were brought to the Rhineland Plain, it would mean that the entire Rhine Front would be in an undefended state, which would be quite dangerous.

Although judging from the current situation of the Frank Empire, they intend to use the Kingdom of Shuper and then break through the Rhine Front of the Britannia Empire, but the Frank Empire's attack plan actually has another possibility.

That is: the attack on the Schupper Kingdom was just a feint, and the purpose was just to lure Iser to lead most of the Rhine Front's combat forces to the Rhineland Plain. The real purpose was to wait for the defenses on the Rhine Front to weaken and concentrate them within the Empire State. The remaining troops made a breakthrough somewhere on the Rhine front where the defenses had become weak.

Such an attack plan is not impossible.

Therefore, just in case, sufficient troops must be left at various important strongholds on the Rhine Front.

Iser can only take away at most 300,000 of them, and the remaining 100,000 troops cannot be transferred under any circumstances. If these 100,000 troops are transferred away, the Rhine Front will become undefended and remain in Frankland. The Frankish army in the empire could break through the Rhine front wherever they found it.

While rushing to the Rhineland Plain, messengers and scouts continued to report to Iser the frontline intelligence collected so far and how many troops had successfully arrived.

What Issel is most concerned about now is whether the Frankish Empire has deployed new troops to the front line.

At present, according to known intelligence, there are only 300,000 Frankish troops in the battle.

The Frankish Empire first dispatched 100,000 people to launch a preliminary attack on the Kingdom of Shupel.

After 100,000 people invaded the homeland of the Kingdom of Shupel, another 200,000 Frankish troops left the Frankish Empire and were deployed to the front line.

When Issel arrived at the Rhineland Plain, he would have 300,000 people in his hands.

300,000 against 300,000 - the forces were equal. With the forces equal, Issel had enough confidence to drive the Frankish army back.

But if the Frankish Empire subsequently deployed new troops to the front line, the result would be hard to say...

...

...

Kingdom of Shupel, Bushu border.

It took only a few days for the Frankish army to destroy the Kingdom of Shupel, razed the entire territory of the Kingdom of Shupel, and approached the "Bushu border".

300,000 Frankish troops are attacking the "Bush Border" with only a few thousand soldiers stationed there.

These thousands of Britannia troops are relying on various strongholds to put up a tenacious resistance.

Although the strongholds have the geographical advantages, facing the fierce attack of 300,000 Hilan troops, it is only a matter of time before the "Bush Border" is broken.

Bazel is responsible for commanding the 100,000 troops of the first formation to attack the Kingdom of Shupel first.

After Bazel's first formation entered the Kingdom of Shupel, Walter led the 200,000 troops of the second formation into the Kingdom of Shupel, following closely behind Bazel's first formation.

Walter is not only the commander-in-chief of the Nibelungen Plan, but also responsible for personally commanding the 200,000 troops of the second formation.

While waiting for the "Bush Border" to be successfully broken through by them, Walter also sent a large number of scouts to collect intelligence on Issel.

When Walter learned that Issel had led the army to the Rhineland Plain, he smiled smugly:

"The plan went smoothly... Issel led the army to the Rhineland Plain obediently." Walter whispered to himself, "Issel... The Rhineland Plain is your burial ground..."
