Power and Empire Chapter 1293: The Ambition of the Empire Star Cluster (4)

On the snow-capped Silver Bird Hill Pass, the thick black smoke obscures the front view. Looking at the Normandy army camp where countless black smoke rises in the distance, a trace of Reposti’s face flashes with a mortal heart. At a loss, 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 The main force of the Normandy army, which was originally aggressively preparing to attack Silver Bird Hill, was withdrawn overnight. The entire opposite bank of the White Hill was filled. In a puff of black smoke that went straight to the sky, a scorched and smelly wind blew towards the face, giving people a very unreal feeling..

In order to prevent it from being a 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 reasons?" Reposti turned from the front and blew the cold wind of Silver Bird Hill, blew his somewhat haggard but resolute face, and his bloodshot eyes still had strong determination. Behind him, there was a very dark man. Captain A, Scout Captain, jumped off the horse quickly,

Looking down, the **** replied respectfully, "The enemy retreated too suddenly. We have expanded the search range to 20 miles, and we still can’t find traces of the Normandy army. This shows that the time of the opponent’s withdrawal was probably midnight yesterday. Before, otherwise, they 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 is not clear where it is, but it should be taken in a hurry, so as not to Let some large-scale already-built equipment fall into the hands of our army, and the Normans did not even have the idea of ​​transporting them away, but directly ordered them to be set on fire on the spot."..

"The northerly coast?"

Reposti's brows frowned. He quickly asked people to bring the map of Normandy, and spread the map on a rock with both hands. Mingrui's gaze followed the northern direction of Silver Bird Hill carefully to look for the map. The mark on it is not very clear. In fact, it was secretly drawn by the empire through merchants on both sides. Because the range of action is limited, starting from the coast where the merchants like to stop, the more inland the more blurred, and a very conspicuous triangle mark is opened and entered his line of sight,

Beruye Port! The largest port on the northeastern coast of Normandy. Judging from the rough map of Normandy in my hand, the location of the port of Beruille is like opening an opening on the northeastern coast of Normandy, an inland river called Letlier. , Extending from the interior of Normandy to here. Finally, it merges into the long sea. In the northern part of the port of Beruille is Alamein, the largest food storage area in Normandy, with convenient waterways and material storage. Whether it is considered from a commercial or military perspective, Beruille is a Normandy. The dead spot.

"Could it be..." Reposti suddenly raised his head, calling all the dozen Salander officers behind him, and tapping the location of Beruye on the map heavily with his fingers. I talked about my guess, and then asked "What do you think of the evacuation of the Normandy?"

"Same as the adults thought" Baidan, as the representative of the officers, said after a period of thought, "If the direction of the withdrawal of the Normandy is really Beruille. That can only show one thing, there is more to them than us Things that I care about, such as Alamein in the north of Beruye, where the Normandy’s largest food hoarding area is. It is a severe winter, and there is insufficient food. If there is a problem, it will inevitably lead to a sudden change in the entire Normandy war situation, and even Uncontrollable chaos caused in the country! So they must go to the rescue!"

"My lord, it's better for us to follow behind, and then a sudden blow will inevitably damage the Normandy!" Some of the officers and gods sè excitedly said, their scorching eyes looked at Reposti, which was just the respect for the boss before. Different, this is a kind of respect from the heart, like looking at one's idol,

Although the commanders of the expeditionary army were not Salanders, the expeditionary army set up an ambush in the First Battle of Silver Bird Hill, and annihilated the jīng rapier group of 10,000 Normans at the cost of 5,000 men. This used to be The Salanders, who have been scared by the Normans, dare not even dream of things, and the good combat of the Falcon regular army has also allowed the Salander soldiers to overthrow some of their previous misconceptions.

Once upon a time, the Normans leaped across the territory of Salander, and killed the Salanders with a blood stream, and lost half of the kingdom. They can only stand against 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 since become a racetrack that the Normans wantonly looted.

"I want to do this too, but..."

Reposti looked up 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. 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 opportunity to counterattack and slip away, once the Normans are relieved, they will definitely deal with us with all their strength!" Bai Dan said with a worried expression on his face

"Treading," a galloping horse came from a distance, stopping the discussion for a while. A cavalry wearing black armor ran off the horse and handed a letter of command in his hand 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?"

The **** Reposti glanced in confusion, his face suddenly changed, and the seal of the letter had 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 military or navy department, but the Falcon’s own majesty. The weight of the one sealed with a postmark can be imagined. At this moment, what instructions does Your Majesty Falcon have?

'So that's the case, I said how could I run..."Reposti almost finished watching as fast as he could, took a deep breath, and looked at the white hills in the distance covered in black smoke. In a daze" What's wrong, my lord! "

The Normandy officers gathered around and looked at the letter in Riposti’s hand curiously, "A good news and a bad news!" Riposti put the letter in his pocket into his pocket, smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and glanced over with a little amazement. The young officers laughed and said, "The good news is that I finally know why the Normans run so fast. Just yesterday, the 14,000 reinforcements made up of the northern Salander army were already in the most important port of the Normandy. The port of Ruye landed, that is to say, Alamein, the largest food storage area for the Normans, should have planted our flag at this time! If they do not go back to rescue, they will be worse than us who have no food! ""What? , Is this true?” The young Salander officers moved for a while, revealing unconcealed joy. After studying in the Falcon Army for a period of time, these young Salander officers knew all about logistics. It has a decisive role in a battle,

"Then what are we waiting for, immediately rectify the soldiers and set off, just in time and the landing reinforcements can pinch the Normans before and after Alamein!"

Bai Dan's face was glowing with excitement, and he shouted in a gearing manner, showing an expression of ready to do a big fight. Everyone could see that the landing of reinforcements was equivalent to a knife in the back of the Normandy. Logistics After being broken, 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 to the excited crowd, and said, "This is the bad news I want to tell you. Believe it or not, this is the order of His Majesty Falcon!"

"Why? Why can't we go to Alamein?" Bai Dan's excited **** sè was still on his face, and the others were also there. The cold wind blew through, and his heart was cold. It was just like seeing the victory that had already been obtained. Slip away, everyone’s heart is like this snowy hills

"Because we have more important tasks!"

Reposti shrugged his shoulders to everyone 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 upon 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...!" Bai Dan asked with a flushed face, his fists clenched and his expression disgruntled.

Reposti walked to his side~IndoMTL.com~ he was terribly afraid of his shoulders, and said condensedly, "Have you forgotten what the original purpose of the expeditionary army was? You are from Salander. The sword of revenge 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.

Without 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 in launching this war. Are you willing to let them endure one more day of suffering in the land of Normandy for 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!" 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 Vekia Falcon until now! (To be continued.)
