Power and Empire Chapter 1444: In charge of the Northwest (1)
1444 is in charge of the Northwest (1)
October, the season before the onset of winter, with the rain of autumn and cold hitting the glass windowsill, covering the entire northwestern region of the rainy season, gradually coming to an end, there are few people on the streets,
The rain drips down from the yellow leaves and turns into moisture that nourishes the earth. The weather becomes cold. The wind picks up the collars of passersby, making people miss the warmth of the summer sun. Passersby’s clothes are changed into late autumn. Thick, this is the breath of winter approaching,
The chaos in the northwest gradually became clear, and Brandenburg, the main battlefield, was calm.
The confrontation between nearly 300,000 troops has become an unknown tacit understanding. Everyone’s eyes are on the west coast of Brandenburg, because that’s where the entire war broke out. The two regions of Busta and Blaise are in full-scale war. The barbarians on the northwest coast are like ocean waves sweeping the land. The two countries defeated in a row, once again shocked the leaders of the opposition.
The army of the Falcon Kingdom, with more than 50,000 people, launched a full-scale attack towards the predetermined target from the north and the south without any scruples. At this time, everyone understood that from the beginning, the opponent’s eyes were here. In the two regions, the dominance of the war has been completely in the hands of the opponent since the fall of Oaca. With Oaca as a stronghold, the opponent can easily threaten the entire opposition hinterland, but he cannot counterattack, even defense. Difficult
Among the opposition, Denia and Southend are the strongest countries. Both are Grand Duchy with more than 80,000 regular troops. The next ones are Svendborg, Bangor, and Busta. The four middle duchys of Bres, each with a strength of between 30,000 and 50,000, are the Marquis’s Oacha, Tarbert, and the coerced Luarca, Villi, Loso, Zekeria, etc. A small area close to the sea, Atwood Sea City, because of its strong navy, is ranked as a principality.
Now the Duke of Bangor has ran back to fight the fire. Busta, the princes of the two regions of Blaise left in anger,
The Principality of Svendborg, which is of the same status, belongs to the area connected to Oacha. Now I can’t wait for the cavalry of the Northwest Barbarians. It is best to run to harm other people. Naturally, it is impossible to help Busta and the Bresse area to speak,
In the control of the strongest Denia and Southend, a strange phenomenon appeared in the alliance, and it became messy. On the other side, the so-called armistice negotiations are still continuing. It seems that everyone has ignored the other side’s unbridled offensive. The opposition alliance led by Denia, Southend, and Svendborg is still facing Article 3. The content of is arguing,
is based on the premise of giving up the interests of the two principalities, gaining the power to break away from the control of the Julius family, forming the dream of dividing the north and the south. This temptation really made the three regions that raised the flag of rebellion first move. Luarca, the heads of small areas near the sea, such as Villi, Loso, and Zekelia, also found excuses to run away. The wind direction of this war has completely changed, the alliance has existed in name only, everyone is tacitly aware, and it's boring to stay!
Wikea Falcon, the northwest barbarian's strategic purpose is very clear. Occupy the two principalities of Basta and Blaise, and connect Nysta and Oacha at both ends of the promenade, if the strategy is successful. From Normandy on the northwest coast to Oacha in the middle of the northwest, this thousands of miles of coastal area will become the thing in the pocket of the Vicia Falcon. The appetite of the other party is shocking.
But the opposition also took a trace of luck. The other party swallowed such a large area in one breath, and it should have been for a while!
In this situation, whoever mentions this barbaric king in the northwest is frightened. This guy is too cruel. Every time he makes a shot, he either swallows the target in one bite, or is unimaginably bloody.
"If this guy's hunting interest is interrupted, will he suffer cruel revenge!" Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the negotiating opposition seems to have completely forgotten the ongoing war,
I forgot the Duchy of Busta and the Duchy of Blaise in the war zone, and are eagerly looking forward to reinforcements from the Alliance,
Forgotten that in the war zone, the Principality of Busta lost 15,000 soldiers, six generals, and the Principality of Busta, with a total population of only 250,000, in less than half a month. On the brink of desperation,
The sharply contracted line of defense, the tens of thousands of deserters and refugees that broke apart, and the Grand Duke Busta who slipped back from Brandenburg halfway, have almost collapsed,
In order to prevent Bangor’s tragedy from being replicated on his own body, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Basta decisively ordered the remaining army to completely abandon the coastal corridor area which is more than 500 miles close to the coastline, and compress the limited force to the inland capital. In a few cities not far away,
He hopes to rely on the city walls to effectively block the rushing horseshoes of the opposing cavalry.
Grand Duke Blaise, who was on the other end of the battle line, heard the news, he vomited blood and fell to the ground on the spot. The first sentence he was rescued by his men was gnashing his teeth and shouting, "Bastas, you guys. Cowards, they betrayed Blaise! You will be met with retribution..."
It’s no wonder that he would have such a fierce reaction. The connecting area between the Principality of Busta and the Duchy of Blaise is on the coast. The Principality of Busta shrinks its forces and voluntarily abandons the coast area, which will undoubtedly be fiercely fighting with the invading enemy. Behind the Principality of Bres, it is completely exposed to the 20,000 cavalry group that is rapidly marching north along the coast.
Bastas sold Brace thoroughly in order to protect themselves,
The news spread, and the morale of the 30,000 Bress army pair, whose morale was already low, has begun to panic uncontrollably. The enemy's heavy army is in front of it, and behind it is a large number of cavalry from the enemy. The feeling in the middle is like dancing on a thin wire on a high cliff wall, falling down at any time, falling to pieces
The exciting life of the Bress begins. Every day, when the Bress soldiers open their eyes, they feel that even the wind blowing from the coast seems to be mixed with the sound of the thunder of cavalry horses’ hoofs,
Every moment, their hands dare not leave their weapons. No one knows when the enemy's cavalry will strike like a hurricane.
In the middle of the night, occasionally a soldier yelled "The enemy is coming" in his sleep and caused the bomb camp on the spot. Both the officers and the soldiers ran around completely uncontrollably, and the chaos continued until dawn. One hundred and fifty people were trampled to death because of the chaos,
Time is advancing hard, every day, it is suffering for the desperate Brace army,
"My lord, there is no hope of victory in this battle. Please evacuate to a safe area as soon as possible!" The generals of Brace kneeled neatly on one knee in front of Duke Jasguru of Brace,
but they were rejected by the duke who is over fifty and is known for his stubborn temper.
"Bresse has no cowards. Even if we die, we will never surrender to the invaders!" Jasguru sat on the seat, casually using a piece of dry cloth to wipe the things he had been with him for more than 40 years. Fine-iron spear, with the golden emblem of the Duchy of Blaise on one side, and an oblong shield that can almost cover the whole person leaning against the wall next to it. The golden armor and red cloak are the same as all other soldiers, Jass. Guru is also always ready to fight
"The Lord Duke..."
The generals of Brace have ugly faces, and they can only silently choose to quit. In Brace, when a man picks up a spear, puts on a shield, and puts on armor, it means that he has the determination to die.
The Principality of Bres has always been a military militant, and training centers are set up in various regions. Men were trained in the militarization of the regional training centers when they were very young. The spears, shields, and armors were all self-provided, so the population of Bres was only 17. Ten thousand people, but can occupy the position of the second-tier power in the northwest. The Bresse infantry phalanx, which is very characteristic of the Bresses, has the title comparable to the "iron wall".
So that Saron’s heavy infantry group also encountered the tenacious resistance of the Bres infantry at the beginning, and the offensive was almost curbed. Saron had to slow down the speed of advancement and fight steadily. In terms of strength, Breis had regularity. With an army of 30,000, some other so-called local volunteers with more than 10,000 people, and the 25,000 people of the Legion of Isaron, can only achieve a suppressive effect.
October 11th, in the evening,
The cavalry group of the Falcon Kingdom, indulging in the speculation and uneasy gaze of the Bres people, followed the sound of horse hooves shaking with the ground, and a dense black line. Crossing the edge of the raised hills in the rear, countless black cavalry attacked like a whirlwind "Stop!"
The fat man raised his right hand, and the 15,000 prairie cavalry gathered in four directions neatly stopped their horseshoes~IndoMTL.com~The battle flag embroidered with golden falcons, reflected in the **** sunset, each The team is like a long black dragon with clanging iron hoofs. The black armor gleams with a gloomy luster. The wind in the mountains is a little cold, and a piece of dust has been blown under the horses of the cavalry that just stopped.
After tidying up the spiked black armor on his shoulders, the fat man began to look at the Brays army lined up below. In the Brays army, the gray-haired and energetic Jasguru was also looking at it. Looking at the legendary king of the barbarian, his face changed slightly,
The look of this barbarian king is really visually oppressive,
Black eagle wing helmet, night-black exquisite armor breastplate, the chest is shaped like a white thorn flower, the shoulders of the armor are covered with sharp edges and corners, and the face is not clear, but the whole person stands there, the whole body There is a strong murderous aura permeating up and down, and that feeling is like the same demon god, overlooking the masses of living beings below. The slight pressure is enough to make anyone feel a panic in his heart
"All, vertical!"
Jasguru raised his hand unwillingly to show weakness, and shouted hard, "Swipe," "Thirty thousand Blaise shield soldiers lined out the four corners of the sideline, the huge thick shield blocked him, countless cold light bursts. , The whole row protrudes from the gap between the shields, like a huge hedgehog curling up there, when facing danger, the spikes completely exploded,
