Chapter 982: Battle of the Rhineland (VI)

Fortunately, perhaps God blessed the Frank Empire. After officially launching the Nibelungen Plan, there were no omissions or errors in every link.

The Shupel Kingdom was destroyed and the "Bushu Border" was crossed within the predetermined time.

Successfully lured Iser to lead an army of 300,000 to the Rhineland Plain.

There were no problems with the supply lines. The supplies of both the army and the navy were very stable and sufficient.

The royal fleet successfully blocked the entire Ys River and cut off the Britannia army's retreat.

The landing force successfully completed the landing without being discovered by the Britannia Army, and successfully launched a surprise attack on the rear of the Britannia Army.

The Frank army successfully passed every link.

There is only one thing left to do next - to attack the Britannia army from a flank.

…

…

Within the Frankish army's main position, Walter ordered a general attack and began to mobilize and arrange the offensive tasks of each unit.

Walter's first order was to dispatch the armored holy cavalry and holy soldiers.

Emperor Schade of the Frankish Empire bet the fate of the entire country on the Nibelungen Plan. Therefore, in order to increase the success rate of the plan, he naturally invested all the powerful troops and generals in the country into it.

As the two ace troops of the Frank Empire, the Armored Holy Cavalry and Holy Armored Soldiers naturally had no reason to be absent from this huge plan that was staked on the fate of the country.

The Armored Holy Cavalry is a heavy cavalry unit with a total strength of 20,000.

The Holy Armor is a heavy infantry unit with a total strength of 5,000 people.

In the previous battle, because there was no need to dispatch these two troops, Walter kept these two ace troops hidden.

Whether it was the war of annihilation against the Schupper Kingdom or the first confrontation with the Britannia Army on the Rhineland Plain, Walter did not let these two troops be dispatched.

But now it's different.

Now is the time for the decisive battle, and it is time to send out these two ace troops to launch a thunderous blow against the Britannia army that is now being "backstabbed".

…

…

Iser and Albert are indeed battle-hardened warriors.

But they are not gods.

Being unprepared and attacked from the front and rear by the enemy forces - in this desperate situation of being attacked from both sides, no matter how powerful the troops or the commander, there is nothing they can do.

After learning that the rear of the military formation was attacked by the Franks, Iser knew that they had no hope of winning this battle.

After realizing that they had no chance of winning this battle, Iser and Albert began to integrate their troops, planning to launch a breakout and escape from the Rhineland Plain.

It's a pity that their opponents are the generals of the Frank Empire.

Walter and Bazel had already anticipated what Iser and the others were thinking.

Under the command and deployment of troops by the generals, the Frankish army blocked every outlet of the Britannia army and launched a fierce attack on the Britannia army.

When fighting the enemy on the battlefield, morale is a very important thing.

When morale is low, 100% of the strength may not be used at 40%.

The sudden appearance of a large number of Frankish troops in the rear had already panicked the generals of the Britannia Army and caused a sharp drop in morale.

With their morale plummeting, how could the generals of the Britannian Army be the players of the Frankish Army?

Although Iser and Albert have tried their best to maintain the order of the army, they can only watch in despair as the order of the army gradually collapses and the generals gradually begin to collapse...

…

…

The Frank Empire had been preparing for the Nibelung Plan for more than 20 years. The Rhineland Plain was their chosen battlefield. Therefore, over the years, the Frank Empire sent a large number of spies to explore the details of the Rhineland Plain and draw detailed maps of the Rhineland Plain. .

The map of the Rhineland plain drawn by the spies clearly marked where there were water sources, where the terrain was higher, and where the terrain was lower.

After launching a general attack on the Britannia army, the Frankish army consciously drove the Britannia army somewhere.

They intended to drive the Britannian army to a lower place, similar to a basin.

This basin is best suited for besieging large armies.

When the war begins, Iser will bring hundreds of thousands of troops to attack.

Even if we launch a pincer attack on them, it would be unrealistic to wipe out so many people in one go, and it would also consume a lot of military power.

Therefore, from the beginning, they planned to drive Iser's troops to the lower basin and then surround them heavily.

When Iser's troops run out of supplies, they can be easily annihilated.

The Britannia army, which could no longer launch a strong counterattack, could only accept the driving of the Franks. Like a group of white sheep, it was driven into the basin, and then it was heavily surrounded and blocked by the Franks. way out.

…

…

This general attack on the Britannia Army lasted intermittently for nearly three days and three nights.

When the sun rose on the fourth day, the fierce battle finally ended, and the surviving generals of the Britannian Army were finally driven into the basin and were heavily surrounded.

After the battle, Walter immediately sent out men to count the number of casualties between the two armies.

Therefore, the battle between the two armies was so fierce that it lasted for three days and three nights, so it took a lot of time to count the casualties.

It was not until the afternoon that Walter got the casualties of the two armies.

After seeing the casualties of the two armies, Walter frowned directly:

"The Britannia army lost 150,000 soldiers... our army lost 100,000 soldiers..." Walter murmured, "You are really amazing, Issel... In such a desperate situation, you can still cause such a great loss to our army."

According to statistics, the Britannia army lost a total of 150,000 troops in this battle, and the remaining 150,000 people were trapped in this basin at this time.

Although the Frankish army launched a pincer attack on the Britannia army and took advantage of it, they did not fight this battle easily.

The Frankish army lost a full 100,000 people, and the total military strength participating in the Nibelungen Plan was 500,000, but now only 400,000 are left.

Although he was an enemy of Issel, Walter could not help but admire Issel.

Suffering from the enemy's front and back attacks, the morale of the generals and soldiers collapsed - in such a desperate situation, Issel was able to achieve a 3-for-2 loss ratio.

What made Walter most sad was the heavy damage suffered by the Ironclad Paladin and the Holy Armored Soldiers in this battle.

These two ace troops have been fighting hard in this battle, contributing greatly to the victory of the Frankish army in this battle.

However - while contributing greatly, these two ace troops also suffered heavy damage that made Walter feel sad.

The Ironclad Paladin directly lost half of its combat power in this battle - now only 10,000 Ironclad Paladin can still fight.

The Holy Armored Soldiers were better, with only 1,500 people lost - currently only 3,500 people can still fight normally.
