Power and Empire Chapter 1293: The Ambition of the Empire Star Cluster (4)
On the snowy Silver Bird Hill Pass, thick black smoke obscures the front view. Looking at the Normandy army camp where countless black smoke rises in the distance, a trace of blankness flashes across Reposti’s face with a mortal heart. , A dozen young officers of the Salander Expeditionary Army stood side by side behind him, their eyes serious and respectful
The scout who went to investigate has already sent information from the front. The main force of the Normandy army of more than thirty thousand men who were going to attack Yinque Hill in a fierce manner was withdrawn overnight. The entire opposite bank of the white hill was filled. In a puff of black smoke straight up to the sky, a burnt and smelly wind blows towards you, giving people a very unreliable feeling,
In order to prevent the Norman conspiracy, Riposti sent six scouts in a row and carefully searched the nearby 20 miles before finally confirming the correctness of the news
"Have you found out the specific reason?" Reposti turned from the front, and the cold wind blew through the silver bird hills, blew his somewhat haggard but sturdy face, and his bloodshot eyes were still strong. Resolute, behind him, a very black armored scout captain is swiftly jumping off the horse,
lowered his head, and replied respectfully, "The enemy retreated too suddenly. We have expanded our search to the knife, but we still can’t find traces of the Normandy army. This shows that the time of the opponent’s withdrawal was probably before midnight yesterday. , Otherwise it would never go that far, and judging from the traces of the retreat along the way, the direction of the other party’s retreat should be the northerly coast. It’s not clear where it is, but it should go so hurriedly to prevent Some large-scale equipment that has been built fell into the hands of our army, and the Normans did not even have the idea of transporting them away, but directly ordered that they be set on fire on the spot."
"The northerly coast?"
Riposti frowned slightly. He quickly asked people to bring the map of Normandy, and spread the map on a rock with both hands. Mingrui's eyes followed the northern direction of Silver Sparrow Hill and carefully looked for the map on the map. The mark is not very clear. In fact, it was drawn secretly by the empire through merchants on both sides. Because of the limited range of action, the more inland from the coast where the merchants like to stop, the more blurred, and a very conspicuous triangle mark is very It came into his sight when I opened it,
Beruya Port! The largest port on the northeastern coast of Normandy. Judging from the rough map of Normandy in hand, the location of the port of Beruille is like opening an opening on the northeastern coast of Normandy. An inland river called Letlier runs from The inland of Normandy extends to here, and finally merges into the long sea. In the northern section of the port of Beruille is the largest food storage area in Normandy, Alamein, with convenient waterways and material storage, whether it is from a commercial or military perspective. Consider that Beruille is a deadly place for the Normans.
"Is it...
. . "Reposti raised his head suddenly, called all the dozen Salander officers behind him, clicked heavily on the location of Beruye on the map with his fingers, said his guess, and then asked " What do you think of the evacuation of the Normandy? "
"Same as adults think" Bai Dan, as a representative of the officers, thought after a while, and said, "If the direction of the Norman evacuations is really Beiruye, it can only show one thing, there is more The things they care about, such as Alamein in the north of Beruille, where the Normandy’s largest food hoarding area is. It is the severe winter and the food is insufficient. If there is a problem, it will inevitably lead to a sudden change in the entire Normandy war situation, and even Uncontrollable chaos in the country! So "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text" they must save! "
"My lord, it's better for us to follow behind, and then a sudden blow will inevitably damage the Normans!" Some of the officers said with a dynamic expression. They looked at Reposti with scorching eyes, and they were merely respecting the boss. Different, this is a kind of respect from the heart, like looking at one's idol,
Although neither the commander of the Expeditionary Army’s commander and deputy corps were from Salander, the Expeditionary Army set up an ambush in the First Battle of Silver Sparrow Hill, and annihilated the elite cavalry cluster of 10,000 Normans at the cost of 5,000. The Salanders, who were afraid of being beaten by the Normans, did not even dare to dream of things, and the good fighting of the Falcon regular army also allowed the Salander soldiers to overthrow some of their previous misconceptions.
Once upon a time, the Normans leaped on their horses in the territory of Salander. They killed the Salanders with a blood stream and lost half of the kingdom. They could only stop Normandy based on the dangerous terrain of Kyoto. The rushing iron hoof of the people has a chance to breathe, but now, the Salander’s sword of revenge is descending on the Normandy, and all these changes have come from the undefeated Falcon Empire sweeping the continent, if not With the support of the empire, Salander has long been reduced to a racetrack that the Normans wantonly looted.
"I want to do this too, but..."
Reposti raised his head from the map, took a deep breath and said, "The combat goal of the Expeditionary Force is to build a bridgehead for the rear reinforcements, not to start a full-scale war against the Normans, so even if you know that you can take advantage of it, When the situation is uncertain, I cannot take the tens of thousands of lives of the expeditionary army to risk!"
"However, if we just sit back and watch the chance of counterattack slip away, once the Normans are relieved, they will definitely deal with us with all their strength!" Bai Dan said worriedly
"Step on." There was a galloping horse in the distance, which temporarily stopped the discussion. A cavalry in black armor ran off the horse and handed a letter of command to Repos Di, said, "This is the latest order delivered, Lord Jaglins specially ordered that it must be delivered to the adults within one day!"
"So urgent?"
Reposti glanced in confusion, his face suddenly changed color, the seal of the letter has been opened, it should have been read by Jaglins,
But it can still be seen that it is a coat of arms of a thorn flower. Reposti’s heart can’t help but speed up. The thorn flower means that this is not from the Ministry of Military Affairs or the Ministry of Admiralty, but His Majesty Falcon himself. The weight of the one sealed with a postmark can be imagined. At this moment, what instructions does Your Majesty Falcon have?
‘That’s the case, I just said how could I run away. . . mouth. . "Reposti almost finished it at the fastest speed, took a deep breath, and looked at the white hills in the distance in a daze
"What's wrong, my lord!"
Normandy officers gathered around, all curiously looking at the letter in Riposti’s hand,
" A good news and a bad news! "Reposti put the letter in his pocket into his pocket, smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and glanced over the somewhat amazed young officers, laughing." The good news is that I finally know why the Normans ran That’s so fast. Just yesterday, 14,000 reinforcements composed of the Northern Salander Army had landed at the Norman’s most important port of Beruye, which means that the Norman’s largest food hoarding area is Alamein. , Our banner should have been planted at this time! If they don’t go back to the rescue, they will be worse than those of us who have no food!"
"What, is this really "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ text"? "The young Salander officers were suddenly in a commotion, showing unconcealed joy. Through a period of study in the Falcon Army, these young Salander officers all know that logistics plays a decisive role in a battle.
"Then what are we waiting for, we will immediately rectify the soldiers and set off, just in time to fight the Normans with the landing reinforcements in front of and behind Alamein!"
Bai Dan’s face was bright and excited, and he shouted with his hands, showing the expression of preparing to do a big fight. Everyone can see that the landing of reinforcements is equivalent to a knife in the back of the Normandy. , Logistics was cut off, the balance of war has undoubtedly tilted towards the expeditionary force,
"Yes, go to Alamein!" The officers raised their hands and shouted in unison
"No, we can't go to Alamein!" Reposti looked at the crowd, suddenly a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head at the people who looked jīd, and said, "This is what I want to tell you. News! Believe it or not, this is the order of His Majesty Falcon!"
"Why? Why can't we go to Alamein?" Bai Dan's expression of excitement was still on his face, and the others were also there. The cold wind blew by, and his heart was cold. Seeing the victory that had already been obtained, it slipped like this. Go, everyone’s heart is like this snowy hills
"Because we have more important tasks!"
Reposti shrugged his shoulders to the crowd and said, "In order to cooperate with the reinforcements’ attack, His Majesty Falcon ordered the expeditionary force to carry out the second step of the attack plan on the day of receipt of the order, and the expeditionary force to the Norman hinterland The main targets are several major cities in the hinterland of Normandy!"
"Why is this? Obviously you can get rid of all the enemies in Alamein~IndoMTL.com~" Bai Dan asked with blushing face and clenched fists with an unsatisfied face.
Reposti walked to his side, frightened his shoulders heavily, and said condensedly, "Have you forgotten what the original purpose of the expeditionary army was? You are the sword of revenge for the Salanders. At the same time, it is also responsible for the rescue of 200,000 compatriots. After such a toss, the main force of Normandy must have all been emptied inland.
has lost the main defense, the defense of the city is almost negligible, so our goal is to rescue the 200,000 German compatriots who are still suffering,
They are the real purpose of your Majesty’s launching this war. Are you willing to let them endure one more day of suffering in the land of Normandy for the sake of your so-called glory? And His Majesty is very worried that once the main force of Normandy collapses on the front line, the hysterical Normans will retaliate wildly against the Salanders in the city! "
"Do you want to see your compatriots, blood flowing into a river? If so, why did you come here for what?" Reposti's voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the distant sky. "These 200,000 people, but your Majesty’s original promise to the entire Salander! Now is the time to fulfill this promise!"
"I'm such a stupid person!" Bai Dan suddenly knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes. He did not expect that the promise that seemed insubstantial at the beginning would be remembered by the Vecchia Falcon until now!
