Chapter 1359 Orleans without Reinforcements
July 10, 298 AD of the Britannia Empire
Rollin Empire, Orleans
"Quick! Move the wounded down!"
"Reinforcements! Call for reinforcements! The south wall needs reinforcements!"
"Ahhhhhh! My hand!"
"woo woo woo woo......"
...
This noisy scene has become a daily scene in Orleans for the past two months.
The roars of the commanders, the painful groans of the wounded soldiers, the whimpering and crying because they can no longer bear the blood and fire...
These various voices and different expressions constitute a tragic scene that cannot be painted with any brush or paint.
Denis and Roger, who was standing beside him, both looked at the Britannia army outside the city, which was still as dense as a swarm of ants, with heavy expressions on their faces, as if they could not kill them all no matter how hard they tried.
"More than half of our army has been killed or wounded..." Roger's tone was full of irrepressible disappointment, "And the soldiers of the Britannia army are still endless... Denis Coach, if reinforcements don’t come, the fall of Orleans will only be a matter of time..."
Luo Xie's words made the solemn look on Denis's face next to him become a little more intense...
After the Northern Border Army was completely wiped out, the Luolin Empire's only remaining troops that could fight were the 80,000 Guards troops defending Tuli.
The reason why the Central Committee of the Luolin Empire did not send all 80,000 Guards troops to defend Orleans actually had its own profound meaning.
After the Britannia army launched a full-scale attack on them, Luolin, the civil and military minister of the central empire, started one discussion after another with the ultimate goal of "how to drive the Britannia back".
According to the judgment of the elites at the center of the Luolin Empire, the Britannian Army cannot be defeated by procrastination.
More than an hour after announcing the severance of diplomatic relations and submitting a declaration of war, the three armies of the Britannia Empire launched a full-scale attack on their Luolin Empire.
It was obvious that the Britannia Empire had been preparing for a long time to attack their Luolin Empire.
It is hard to imagine that the Britannia Empire, which had prepared to attack the Rollin Empire long ago, would be underprepared and lacking in food and supplies.
After the Britannia Empire went south to launch an attack on their Rolin Empire, the Britannia army advanced extremely quickly.
Even with such a fast advancement speed, sufficient supplies can still keep up, allowing the Britannia army to continue to advance and attack.
This also confirms the correctness of the judgment that the Britannia army's baggage reserves are sufficient.
If all the troops are concentrated in Orleans, it will certainly make Orleans' defense force unprecedentedly strong, making it significantly more difficult for the Britannia army to capture Orleans.
But this approach only made it impossible for the Britannia army to continue moving south.
There is no way to make the Britannia army retreat.
The final outcome was that the Britannia army blocked the gates of Orleans and fought a war of attrition with the Rollin army.
Judging from the current difference in national power between the two countries... Even if the Britannia army comes from afar and the Luolin army fights locally, in the end it will definitely be the Britannia army that has the upper hand in the war of attrition. Daniya Army.
Therefore, if you want to drive all the Britannia troops back, the only way is to attack.
As for asking for help from the Frank Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire, it is unrealistic.
Not to mention how long it would take to send envoys to seek help from these two countries.
Even if the envoys can arrive in time to these two countries and send requests for assistance to these two countries, these two countries should not have the spare capacity to support the Luolin Empire.
The Frankish Empire is now weaker than the Rollin Empire.
The Holy Hiran Empire is probably stronger than the Luolin Empire, but because the Holy Hiran Empire has been disturbed by the grassland defenders in recent years, it has focused all its attention on the Far East and has no spare energy to go to Britannia. The Ya Empire sent troops.
It is useless to stick to a war of attrition, and it is useless to ask for help from outside.
If it wants to drive the Britannia Army back, the only method the Rollin Empire can use is to actively attack the Britannia Army.
Take the initiative to attack the Britannian army in the field and defeat it.
Only in this way can the Britannia army be driven back from their land.
Although the chances of winning a field battle with the Britannian Army are very low...
But this is their only hope to drive away the Britannia army at present...
In response to the concept that the Britannia Army must be proactively attacked, the general strategy designed by the Luolin Empire Central Committee is as follows: New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest PC version:
First, some troops were sent to defend Orleans to block the Britannia army from moving south and buy time for the center of the Rollin Empire to integrate its combat power.
After the Orleans defenders blocked the Britannia army from outside the city, the Central Rollin Empire used the time the Orleans defenders bought for them to integrate the remaining combat power.
After the integration of combat forces is completed, a reliable general will be asked to lead all the integrated combat forces to rush to Orleans and save Orleans from the siege of the Britannia army.
As a result, Denis led 20,000 Guards troops to arrive in Orleans first and defend Orleans, while the other 60,000 Guards troops stayed in Touli.
Since the beginning of the Defense of Orleans, Denis has been waiting for reinforcements from another 60,000 Guards and local armed forces mobilized from various places to rush to Orleans.
But now nearly 2 months have passed.
No sign of reinforcements was seen.
To say that he is not impatient would be a lie.
After all, if reinforcements don't come, Orleans will be doomed.
When will the central government send reinforcements?
Could it be that the central government is planning to give up on Orleans?
Could it be that the reinforcements have not been integrated yet?
...
These questions kept flashing through Denis' mind these days.
The growing number of casualties in the city also made Denis more worried...

"More than half of our army has been killed or wounded..." Roger's tone was full of irrepressible disappointment, "And the soldiers of the Britannia army are still endless... Denis Coach, if reinforcements don’t come, the fall of Orleans will only be a matter of time..."
Luo Xie's words made the solemn look on Denis's face next to him become a little more intense...
After a moment of silence, Denis said in a deep voice:
"Just wait a few more days..."
"Keep holding on for a few more days."
"Maybe reinforcements will arrive in a few days."
"If we hold on for a few more days, maybe we can get reinforcements..."
"...But..." As soon as Denis finished speaking, Luo Xie showed hesitation and asked cautiously, "What if the reinforcements never come...?" "
Denis did not answer Roche's question.
Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Luo Xie with eyes mixed with complex emotions.
Then the silence continued...
