Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1823 1824 Magical War

The entire elf-controlled area, which was the former territory of the Yangmu Empire, seemed to be in chaos.

The surrendered elves were waiting for the Tang Empire's army to take over, and before the Tang Empire's troops arrived, they had to first receive a group of human troops whose expressions looked unnatural.

These human soldiers were all in a state of destitution, but strangely enough, these human troops seemed to be very well-behaved: they did not plunder on a large scale, and even sent people to communicate about the border crossing in advance.

Unless the elves voluntarily give out some supplies to buy peace, they will not extort too much. They are just like a group of good kids, coming and going in a hurry.

More often than not, these human troops would spend money to consume some things locally and take them away. The purchased supplies included gasoline and food, and sometimes they would repair cars and buy some spare parts.

In short, these human troops did not cause any trouble to the local elves because they really did not want to cause trouble for themselves.

Everything continued in this strange atmosphere until the army of the Tang Empire arrived, took control of the elves' cities, occupied small towns and villages, and hung the red dragon flag of the Tang Empire on every city wall.

During this process, about 200 million human troops surrendered to the Tang Empire. They were defeated all the way from the northernmost part of the Yangmu Empire to the southernmost part, and experienced countless hardships along the way.

The lucky ones surrendered on the third or fourth day after the battle broke out, and they spent a happy time in the prisoner-of-war camp. The unlucky ones fled to the southern part of the Yangmu Empire, suffered a lot along the way, and finally surrendered to the Tang army when they were desperate.

After capturing about 300 million elven troops as prisoners and 200 million human troops as prisoners, the Tang Empire easily won the battle against the Yangmu Empire.

During the entire battle, the Tang army destroyed more than 3000 tanks of various models of the coalition forces, blew up more than 2000 armored vehicles, and damaged more than 1 vehicles.

At the same time, the Tang army also destroyed more than 400 coalition rocket launchers and more than 5500 artillery pieces, and seized and destroyed at least 150 missile launchers.

As the Tang army moved southward at an increasingly faster speed, the amount of equipment captured also increased: according to incomplete statistics, the number of tanks captured by the Tang army exceeded 5000. Although most of them were old and outdated models, they were indeed more than 5000 tanks.

With the end of this war, the coalition forces lost about two-fifths of their industrial production capacity, and most of their weapons and equipment were destroyed. It was impossible to continue fighting, so the remaining three human countries were no longer able to guarantee the security of their borders.

The human empire next to the elf-controlled area is the Susas Empire. This empire is relatively weak in itself, and now it has no ability to resist the invasion of the Tang Kingdom.

Although the Lions Empire is still providing weapons, equipment and strategic materials, and although Dorne and the Lions Empire are still constantly recruiting troops to send to the Susas Empire, in fact everyone knows that this is just a last-ditch struggle.

On paper alone, the number of allied combat troops in Susas is still about 300 million, which seems not too small. However, the quality of these troops has seriously declined.

In terms of numbers, the total strength of the coalition forces fighting in the Binghan Empire once approached 600 million, and the strength of the coalition forces fighting in the Yangmu Empire exceeded 500 million...but such a large force still could not stop the Tang army's attack.

The total strength of the coalition forces has now dropped to about 300 million. Faced with the Tang Empire's southward troops, which have basically remained unchanged and seem to have even increased in strength, these troops are obviously far from enough.

大唐帝国依旧拥有第1、第3、第7、第9、第10、第11一共6个集团军，总兵力已经膨胀到接近200万。

If the equipment disadvantage is taken into account, it is obvious that the coalition forces have fallen into a complete disadvantage: the Tang Empire Air Force has an absolute advantage, and the army is also superior in other aspects except for the slightly smaller number of people.

Under such circumstances, the coalition forces had no chance of winning. Even because of the approach of the Tang army, some industrial areas in the coalition's hinterland became less peaceful.

Originally, these well-built industrial zones maintained close cooperative relations with the Tang Empire, and the emerging nobles and ruling groups in these regions were also more inclined to stand on the side of the Tang Empire.

What makes the emperors of the three empires of Susas, Lions and Dorne even more terrified is that whether it is the Beiling area of ​​the Susas Empire, the Bunas and Yucheng areas of the Lions Empire, or the Neverwinter Port area of ​​the Dorne Empire... they were all established by the Tang Dynasty Group.

These places are now not far from the actual control areas of the Tang Empire. As long as the troops of the Tang Empire begin to move south, it is unknown whether these places will rebel.

It is possible that as soon as the Tang Empire's troops arrive, these places will immediately surrender and will not even put up a resistance.

In other words... the remaining three human empires had better think about how to deal with the iron hoof of the Tang Empire heading south.

Although there was no news about the disastrous defeat on the front lines in the newspapers of these countries, many well-informed people already knew the inside story.

Some people began to pack their luggage and prepare to flee south, while others began to smooth over their relationships in order to initiate follow-up cooperation when the Tang Empire's army arrived.

After all, not everyone was afraid of the Tang Empire's army: those emerging aristocratic merchants who did not rely on traditional means to plunder land were all looking forward to the Tang Empire to liberate them.

In a castle in northern Susas, a nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes smiled and opened the curtains. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, he was in a very happy mood.

He was a well-known local tycoon, and he had made a lot of money by cooperating with the Datang Group. Now that the Datang Empire was about to arrive, he, who had been providing information to Silver Fox and had been secretly dealing with the Datang Empire, was of course very happy.

When he thought that no one would hinder his business in the future and no one would dare to covet it, he even wanted to sing a song.

In order to speed up the southward advance of the Tang Empire, he had even bribed the commanders of the garrison troops in many nearby places. As soon as the Tang Empire's army arrived, these troops would immediately surrender and would not offer any unnecessary resistance.

There are many people like him in the whole Susas. Everyone is looking forward to the early arrival of the Tang Empire, because in this country, the ghost of the Tang Empire has never left. At the beginning, the rise of the Susas Empire relied on the young students trained by the Tang Group to carry out a system reform tailored for Susas.

After that reform, the Kingdom of Susas officially rose and began to become a truly powerful country. It was also from that time that the kingdom began to annex the surrounding small countries and grew into a dominant empire.

Since then, this country has continued to use the system formulated by the Datang Group for it, and later annexed the Beiling Industrial Zone built by the Datang Group, which is when it truly reached its peak.

Since this is the process of rise, the people of this country are of course deeply influenced by the Datang Group. There are many legends about the Datang Group circulating in the local area, and many people are personal experiencers of these legends.

Tang Mo rose to power only 20 to 30 years ago, and many southern Susas people still remember the southern turmoil. At that time, the current emperor of the Tang Empire personally led the "army" to sweep across the southern part of the Susas Kingdom, burning, killing and looting along the way, turning the entire Susas Kingdom upside down.

The civilians who experienced the riots were all the beneficiaries of the riots. They certainly still remember the good times when they followed the Emperor of the Tang Empire and followed him.

Of course, the old nobles and landlords in these places may not have such a good memory of the disaster.

The workers who stayed in Beiling and did not leave with Datang Group will never forget their days which were full of hope.

Now that the Tang Empire was coming back, these people certainly had no intention of resisting: in fact, it had been difficult to recruit soldiers in Beiling to fight against the Tang Empire a long time ago. The people here were simply unwilling to join the army and go north, and even the local ruling officials were not very willing to cooperate with the military's recruitment and mobilization operations.

"You said... why hasn't the Tang Empire come yet?" The Susas merchant, who bought the entire castle as his own mansion, asked his friend behind him eagerly.

The friend sitting on the sofa was wearing a Susas military uniform, and his military rank was obviously not low. He shook the wine glass in his hand and replied comfortably: "Don't worry, I heard that the vanguard troops have arrived at the border."

"That's really good news." The businessman smiled. He had waited too long. If it were according to his thinking, they should have surrendered a few years ago.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling!" The phone on the table suddenly rang. The phone looked very delicate, but it was a Republic of China style...

The businessman, as the host, walked to the phone, picked up the receiver, and put it to his ear: "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's me." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

The businessman smiled more and spoke in a flattering tone: "It's you, what instructions do you have?"

"Our troops will be here soon, so ask your people to cooperate." The person on the other end of the phone didn't mean to be polite at all and directly put forward his request.

"Understood! Understood! I'll arrange it right away! Don't worry! There won't be any resistance here! Absolutely no resistance!" The businessman's mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head. After hanging up the phone, he looked at his friend who was sitting there drinking: "You still have the mind to drink here? Hurry up and arrange it. Let all the barracks hang up the white flag! Don't cause any trouble!"

"Huh? So soon?" The officer sitting on the sofa didn't expect this. He immediately put down his glass, stood up and said goodbye, "I'll go back to the headquarters now!"

Soon, the defenders of Susas found out how the Tang army came: a Tang paratrooper named Xiang Ziyu came, and he brought a company of soldiers to accept the surrender of the local garrison in Susas.

How many troops of Susas surrendered to Xiang Ziyu? About 3! These border defenders had a solid defense line, sufficient ammunition, and even medical supplies, and food reserves were enough to last for half a year.

But they still surrendered, handed over their weapons, gave up their bunkers and turrets, cooperated with the Tang soldiers to seal the weapons and ammunition depots, and then happily went back to the barracks to lie down.

On that day, the Tang Empire's paratroopers crossed the border and entered the Susas Empire. It was also on this day that the Tang Army's ground forces joined the paratroopers who arrived earlier and continued to advance southward.

More and more Susas soldiers surrendered, and the troops of the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire inexplicably lost their flank positions and were surrounded by the Tang army.

It seemed that the battle of Yangmu Empire became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the coalition forces, and the resistance in Susas began to become magical and childish.

Countless troops surrendered, countless troops began to retreat without any reason. Cities surrendered one after another, and many cities even broadcast that they would remain neutral...

You heard it right. These cities declared that they would remain neutral in this war! They announced that they would no longer provide supplies to the coalition forces, nor would they send any troops or offer any resistance.

They will remain an undefended city, waiting for the war to end completely: to put it bluntly, from this moment on, they will wait for the troops of the Tang Empire to arrive...

In this way, more and more cities were waiting for the Tang Empire to come, and they seemed to have spread out like branches and leaves, all the way to Beiling.

This caused a lot of excitement. Beiling had been looking forward to the arrival of the Tang Empire. As a result, on the fourth day after the Tang Empire invaded the Susas Empire, the Beiling region announced that it would voluntarily join the Tang Empire and become a part of it.

What’s even more magical is that on the second day after Beiling announced its incorporation into the Tang Empire, the troops at Bunas Port, which was connected to Beiling, announced an uprising. This richest port in the Lions Empire, the birthplace of the Tang Group, officially returned to the Tang Empire!

A new historical wonder was born: the speed of a country's border advancement was faster than that of its troops. What made people laugh and cry was that the Tang Empire's troops were still in the north of Susas, but the Tang Empire had already occupied the port of the Lions Empire and the front line had already advanced into the Lions Empire.

Shocked, Lions II immediately sent troops to attack Bunas Port, hoping to recapture this strategic town. But his troops encountered resistance as soon as they reached Yucheng - yes, Yucheng also surrendered.

Yucheng and Bunas were short of troops, and the troops of the Lions Empire were pressing in, so the two places could only ask for help from the Tang Empire. After receiving the order, the Tang Empire Navy rushed south... A new war seemed to have begun.
