Power and Empire Chapter 439: Vicia’s counterattack (1)
439 Vicky's counterattack (1)
The heavy hall door closed behind him, and Crolitsart walked in the outer corridor. The wind from the side window brought a few raindrops on his face, making him feel a rare coolness,
"It's really not the time for the rain to come." Thinking of the content of the meeting just now, Crolitsat suddenly stopped and looked at the ink-colored sky that was still floating outside, and his eyebrows became more and more frowning."
"Please wait for the Crolits Commander" Guards Corps commander Hu Keqili at the end of the corridor shouted at Crolitsart, who was about to mount and leave,
"This is what the Grand Duke asked me to give you" Hu Keqili walked over cautiously, and took out a parchment scroll stamped with the Governor's Mansion from his arms.
"This is?" Crolitsat looked at Hu Keqili suspiciously
"This is the appointment document signed by the Grand Duke himself." Hu Keqili smiled, and suddenly straightened his body, respectfully saluting Crolitsat, and his words became more solemn.
"The Lord Duke specially urged that this battle is related to the future national movement of Vijaya. From now on, adults can control the western armies with the ring. After the war, the master is the first Western Governor of Vijaya."
The words of "Governor of the West" Hu Keqili made Crolitsart's expression stunned, and then showed ecstasy,
Although the western part is desolate, it has a vast area. In terms of area, at least the area of 2 counties is included. Especially under the stimulation of the economic incentive policy of Samer and the filling of a large number of people in the north,
The unique geographical location and fur specialty products of the west are becoming the favored objects of business people. This once desolate area has not only quickly recovered its vitality, but also is gradually forming another new economic center.
"This is really. (reading novels)..."Crolithart was speechless with excitement, almost trembling palms to take the papers, and Crolithart almost knelt in touch with the trust of the fat man. Down,
This is an unimaginable appointment. In the entire Wikiia, except for Governor Statunko who is guarding the rear in the south, this is definitely the second appointment from the Ducal Palace.
It is a real power to control the western armies and handle western affairs with full authority.
It is the commander of a war zone. For example, the Salon regiment guarding the north is absolutely not qualified to interfere with other regiments and local affairs.
For the Mountain Corps, which has always been only responsible for assisting in attacks, is considered a second-rate regiment, this is definitely a kind of trust. As an old man who has been following the fat man since the age of the lord, he has been following the fat man in blood, everything. , Got compensated at this moment
"The Grand Duke is a nostalgic person. As long as he has merits, an adult will never forget any "Hu Keqili's words seem to be pointed, and he turned to the other banner leaders." As for the interests of the tribes, great The Duke will never forget, no matter how the various races perform in this battle, I, Wikia, will certainly not forget your support."
Hu Keqili's words suddenly paused. He looked at the eager generals in front of him, and said with a smile on the corners of his mouth. "As for how much, Lord Duke did not say, only that half of the land acquired in this battle will be rewarded. Distribute to all races, "
"Half of the land", the faces of the heads of several banners have changed. The western grassland area is almost equivalent to half of the grand duke of Vicia. This sentence undoubtedly gave them the right to decide on the division of this land.
The demeanor of the several banner leaders in the "land" who were still dignified just now has changed, and their eyes are hot. They are the commanders of the tribes. Behind them stand the wishes of the people and the elders.
The war promotes everything and changes everything. They are no longer poor mountain people nestling in the mountains. As the Samor war zone continues to advance, the mountain tribes attached to the big tree of the Samor army also Is beginning to walk out of one’s inherently barren area and move towards a new life
The generous returns of war and commercial trade have made these sturdy barbarians one of the mainstays of the Samor army.
With the return of the people who grabbed a lot of wealth outside, and the break of the land control system of lords everywhere, the desire to become a free citizen with their own land is forming among the mountain peoples, and they want a piece of habitat for them to walk out of the mountains. Land
The narrow and limited mountains in the south can no longer meet the needs of their continued expansion of the tribe. Their most urgent desire is to advance to a wider area.
A vast and undisturbed habitat, for these southern mountain people, is as precious as gold. Fatty’s promise at this moment is like a sharp arrow shot through the hearts of the mountain people, even if this It may be just a promise like a flower in the mirror, but it is enough to make the mountain people who long for more wealth and land and have just straightened their backs in full bloom
"Please tell the army to the Grand Duke, I am here to express the highest respect to him on behalf of the mountain tribes." Looking at the excited faces of several banner leaders around him, Crolisart acted on Hu Keqi first. A gift,
"Long live the Grand Duke", the other heads of the banners also straightened their bodies gratefully, Qi Qi made a tribal ritual to Hu Keqi, and the war's ** was burning in their hearts.
Looking at the disappearance of Crolitsart and several generals in the rain, Hu Keqili knew that the appointment signed by the Grand Duke himself had already ignited the generals of the Western Legion without a doubt. ,
The ** of war have never been so strong on their faces,
Hu Keqili stopped at the corner of the corridor. Through the canopy in the far northwest, Hu Keqili raised his head curiously. The heavy rain fell, but the northwestern edge of the sky, bursts of red glow were rolling. Now, this is a harbinger before the storm.
The general decision-making order for operations on the western grasslands was issued half a month ago. The entire Vijaya army is like a sophisticated instrument, already operating secretly and fiercely.
The army in the central and southern regions has taken a posture, ready to deal with the Swadian army that is coming to retaliate. The main attacking mountain army has also moved to the west.
It is a barren land, which is different from the vast central grassland. The terrain is extremely complex. Mountains and hills are mixed with grassland. Marshland and alpine hard soil are the main landforms of western grassland.
The snow-capped Daxue Mountain area makes the climate of the western grassland more volatile. It may still be covered with snow in the morning, hail with the big thumb on the head, and the sun will be shining at noon, and the roasted armor will become hot. Hard to wear,
The most terrifying thing is that the sudden severe cold at night will freeze unsuspecting people into a popsicle. For this, the fat man who has commanded the battle of the west undoubtedly has experience,
According to Fatty’s analysis at the meeting, and supplemented by representatives of the Maomo family who are familiar with the western terrain,
It is unanimously agreed that even if the Swadian army, mainly from the temperate zone of the central region, has already crossed the meadow area in the eastern section of the western grassland in advance, it will encounter unpredictable resistance in the Akrila mountain range entering the hinterland.
It is a section of hilly land composed of high cold and hard soil, high in the west and low in the east. For the Swadian army, which is mainly equipped with heavy equipment, it is a painful problem.
Storm, rain and snow have turned the already difficult mountain roads into a piece of glacial frozen soil. No matter how an elite army, in such a harsh environment, the speed and combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.
If you want to detour from the hinterland of the western grassland dominated by highlands and hills to the northern part of Turga in the strategic plan, this difficult frozen mountain road is the only way to go,
Even a cavalry with strong feet needs at least ten days. If there are still infantry, this time will be longer.
This is a godsend opportunity
"The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind." When the fat man watched Mao Manna's white fingers tracing the map, he naturally thought of this word. If such an opportunity is wasted, he will Condemned"
The complex terrain and weather made the Swadian people choose to avoid the eyes of the central Kujit scouts,
But it was also enough for the Vekias, who were closer to the hinterland of the western grasslands, to come from behind, stab the Swadian army's **** severely from behind, and threw the hundreds of thousands of Swadian army into a **** that was difficult to turn over.
The first to attack was the Mountain Army, which was familiar with fighting in the mountains and hills. This was done through the fat man’s careful consideration.
Compared to other troops that are good at fighting on the plains, the mountain legion, which is mainly composed of mountain barbarians and swamp thorns, can undoubtedly exert its fierce assault ability in the complex area of the western hills.
The outstanding ambush ability of the mountain hunters and the powerful longbow of the thornwa tribe are enough to make this piece of alpine hilly land a grave to bury the enemy
For the sake of prudence, the fat man even gave the other force in his hand to Crolithat,
This time, the assault operations on the western grasslands are about to be carried out. In addition to the 40,000 army composed of mountain people, there are also two Westerners flag regiments that have just been installed. This undoubtedly makes Crolisart a little bit more. Sub-confidence
The soldiers of these two regiments are mainly composed of freemen who have acquired land in the western part. Although they have only been formed for 3 months, they are still different from the front-line combat troops in terms of number and quality.
However, the leading officers of these two banner regiments are elite veterans drawn from the main battle banner regiments by the Duke’s Mansion, and new non-commissioned officers from the Southern War College, these two extremely strong middle and lower command organizations. , To ensure that this army that is more adapted to the western climate is not inferior to the first-line troops in combat effectiveness.
For them, the bad weather in the west is nothing more than a "local warfare". For the use of these two new regiments, the fat guy also gave Crolisat a bottom line in order to dispel Croliza’s doubts. ,
"Samoor's brilliance is a blood-stained soldier who has never seen blood. It is no different from a peasant. I don’t need to teach it." The fat man whispered and handed the family ring in his hand to Crolithat’s hands.
The "Battle of Akalila", a decisive battle with far-reaching influence on future generations, was settled in such an atmosphere that was somewhat lucky and somewhat solemn.
The frontal input of more than 60,000 troops, if you count the troops on the northern border and the central and southern part of the kingdom at any time, the total mobilization of troops is more than 100,000. This is the largest foreign war in Wichia, and it is enough to decide three. The war of future destiny of a powerful kingdom
Leaving the "Eagle's Nest", the highest command center in Murhausk Region in Vikia
Crolysat stopped his horse at a fork in the south of Kudan. He looked at the two heads of the banner directly under him, and ordered with a solemn expression
"Sakreze, Isahi, you two immediately return to the headquarters in the southern part of Kudan, and mobilize the main force of the garrison to rush to the western city of Vita within three days!"
"Yes, legion commander." The two flag commanders nodded.
Crolysart turned around and looked at the other generals behind her, her voice a bit more agitated and bloody, "Didn’t you always yearn for wealth and land? Now, the opportunity is here for the Grand Duke to look at you. Vicia looks at you, I hope you don’t let the Grand Duke down
I will lead the main army to wait for you at Weta. This is a big battle. We will probably face twice as many enemies."
Crolithart’s excitement stopped, his eyes swept over the generals in front of him, and there was a "clam", and Crolithart drew out his saber, his expression agitated and pointed to the distant sky." We mountain hunters have a saying, if you miss the opportunity, you won’t come again. Everything you desire is right in front of your eyes, and it depends on the determination of your tribe. I hope you will go back and convey the words of the Grand Duke to the patriarch. Three days, three days. I will leave after that. I hope you can remember what I said today.
"Crolysat gave a respectful look to the other generals, and a soldier's exclusive courtesy voice excitedly said, "Victory all in the name of war, let glory lead you forward forever"
"Victory, everything is in the name of war". Several banner leaders seemed to be stimulated by Crolithat. They all looked excited and took out their sabers and raised them up against the rain in the sky.
The horn of war sounded silently, and the main force of the 30,000 Mountain Corps stationed in the southern part of Kudan quickly entered the western border along the Watu Mountain Corridor where they once had a **** battle.
The Thornwa tribe who adapted to the swamp terrain arrived first, and according to the plan, under the guidance provided by the Maomo family, they entered the Akalila Mountains in batches to prepare for ambush
Mountain soldiers from various tribes also moved quickly to the northwest border. In addition to the original 30,000 soldiers, several larger mountain tribes also sent out their 20,000 reserve army under the box.
Although Crolitsart has already made preparations, he is still in a hurry by the extra people. This time we enter the western grasslands to fight, what needs to be solved most is the warm cotton clothes.
It is very hot and difficult in July. It is a big problem to get tens of thousands of cotton-padded clothes. Crolithart reported this problem to the fat man.
With the urgent order issued, the huge and effective wartime supply mechanism of the business alliance is also quickly operating, and all kinds of war materials are transported to the front line in an orderly manner, and the cold-resistant cotton-padded clothing has become a restricted circulation commodity in the hot summer of July. ,
80,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes and all kinds of necessary materials collected from various channels are transported in the carriage marked with the army logo to the various parts of the mountain army that are ready to move at any time.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and businessmen can always smell different flavors from the mass movement of supplies,
The unsalable product like cotton-padded clothes in the hot summer was suddenly controlled, which undoubtedly made the keen businessmen feel something from it,
The caravan starts to take action
War, a word that makes everyone hate frowning, is a symbol of wealth and glory in Samor. From the prosperous business and trade to the migration and prosperity of population, everything revolves around this word.
If there is no war, there will be nothing. Merchants will not have more profitable new trade routes, farmers will not have the opportunity to obtain more land, and barbarians will not be able to obtain new habitats and rich rewards.
War is the source of everything, which has become the consensus in the hearts of the Vekia people.
Whether he is a wealthy businessman worth tens of millions, or an unknown nobleman, whether he is a descendant of a once glorious knight, or a mountain barbarian originally excluded from the main ethnic group,
War has undoubtedly become their first way out. They only need to cut off an enemy’s head to get the income of ordinary farmers for half a year.
With five heads, you have a chance to get the most beautiful girl in the village as a wife,
With ten heads, you can already become a respectable Samor officer. Even if the chief of the town sees you, he will salute you respectfully.
If you lose your life because of the war, your family will still be able to get rich compensation and respectable glory because of your bravery in fighting.
Wealth and glory are like a pair of twins closely surrounded by a war mother. Who wouldn't like it?
What's more, this is a legendary army that has never failed. Under the glorious and brilliant swords, there are fierce and sturdy Kujites, as well as the rock-like tough Dardaniels in the south. There are many clans with noble blood, and there are countless noble and honorable families from all over the world.
No matter how powerful they have been, how people look up,
In the face of the sword of Samor’s sweeping all wars, in addition to choosing to be part of the sword, he became the soul of the dead under the Samor’s front-shoulder sword. Swadian, recognized as the number one power in the mainland, could not shake this legendary army Brilliance
In addition to the bloodshed, a piece of meat was deeply cut off to chase glory and wealth, making the Vikya War a fierce and effective catalyst.
The barren mountain people unique to the Vikya people have a latent character longing for glory and wealth, and gradually awakened under the stimulation of the invincible aura of victory and unimaginable wealth of the Samor army,
The rise of a country~IndoMTL.com~The first is the awakening of the national will of this country
"War must be war!" Numerous caravans began to march towards the western border. Horses, caravans, troops, and even mercenaries gathered nearly 100,000 people on the remote western border. They Are all anxiously waiting for one thing
War
But they don’t know that what they are longing for is already happening in a certain area,
Large snow flakes and rain water fell on Sacameron’s head. The cold wind blew from the pass of the hills. The leather armor on his shoulders had hardened and frozen, which made him feel a biting pain. ,
A conspicuous scar is pulled from the corner of his mouth all the way to the back of his ears, making his already ugly face even more hideous, but at this moment, he is like a cunning civet cat, lying motionless not far from the mountain pass. There is a rocky mouth at the place. On the front of the mountain pass, a row of densely packed tents fills the mountain road. Several groups of patrolmen have walked over the cliff below him several times.
"The captain is right, this is the coat of arms of the Swadian Third Army." A black figure climbed up from nearby, spreading his hand to reveal a knight coat of arms, and whispered beside Zacameron. Road
