Power and Empire Chapter 1631: Black and white.
The sun rises from the horizon, and the shaded morning light slowly illuminates the undulating fields outside the city,
"Look, there are so many cavalry"
On the wall of Apsa, which is known as the gate of the capital, the face of the soldiers in the Sende was as gray as death, and the inhaling figure appeared in the mouth, and the Marquis Oliver, who was in charge of the defense of Apsa, walked up the wall solemnly.
Under his sight, the black army underneath is overwhelmingly powerful. There are four entire rows of black cavalry clusters, black armor, tall war horses, and the rising battle flag and flagpole like a whole forest, with gold on top The falcon battle flag flutters in the wind, and the cold light of the weapon is like a glowing light,
" My lord, there are all enemies outside the city! "The adjutant in charge of the night trot over to report to him, and his face turned pale. This adjutant is not very old, and his flaxen hair seems to be suddenly caught in front of him. Horrified under circumstances
"When did I find out!"
The Marquis of Oliver swept across the adjutant’s face and snorted heavily. As a war-fighting general, he didn’t understand why the opponent suddenly appeared here like a **** soldier. Could it be that they Are they all used for flying?
"Last night in the middle of the night, the outer guard tower was the first to be discovered!"
The young adjutant’s face showed a hint of timidity. "The other party also found us, but did not take an attack. It may be that it is not ready to attack, or it may be because it is a cavalry unit and is not good at siege. But for safety, I ordered All the outlying towers have been withdrawn"
"I hope your thoughts are correct, otherwise, you and I are dead now!" Oliver Marquis held the city wall with his hand, leaned out half of his body, took a look, and was taken aback.
retracted his body, Oliver suddenly asked the adjutant sternly, "Have you reported the situation here to the capital?"
"Not yet!" The adjutant hesitated and replied
"From now on, the whole city will be locked and all the gates will be closed! For reasons of war, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order." The Marquis Oliver's face was uncertain, and he decisively gave orders
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" The adjutant responded with a serious face, but still asked boldly, "But, if we don't report to the capital, what shall we do? There are only 10,000 troops in the city, and half of them are recent. The recruits recruited, with all due respect, it’s okay for such a troop to be placed on the wall of the city, and it’s impossible to fight the enemy outside."
"Confrontation? I don't have that extravagant expectation." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Oliver's mouth. "This is not the border, but the periphery of the capital of Persende. It is the core area of layered defense. Haven't you thought about it, the other side? Why is it here?"
The voice of Marquis Oliver stopped, raised his head, sorted out his thoughts, took a deep breath and said, "There is a remote Lengwei County before, and there is a Kromdor Castle that blocks thousands of troops. It is the No. 1 army in the Northwest with the record of undefeated. The horses of tens of thousands of cavalry are enough to make the earth tremble. How could it be possible that there was no news at all, and it went straight through the two throat areas.
" Yes, the subordinates also thought it was too weird. "The adjutant was stunned by this question and looked confused
" What's so strange! "Marquis Oliver smiled bitterly" I have enough reason to believe that Cold End County and Cromdor Castle have already been cast to the northwest coast"
" No... No way, how is this possible! "The young adjutant was taken aback by Oliver's words, but he also felt that this possibility really existed, and the two counties were gone? The adjutant’s mind couldn’t accept it for a while
" Nothing is impossible! I just admire it a little. The Northwest Coast’s timing is accurate!" Oliver Marquis sneered and said, "Although Cold End County is beautiful, it has been a matter of the past two months, Kromdor The Kuriel in the United States has always been rich and light-armed. The two regions have one thing in common, that is, they rely too heavily on merchants, and the northwest coast is known to be based on merchants.
Right now in the Principality, the new duke’s path is not correct, and a group of people who don’t know the origins brought by him have suppressed the opposition with thunder in the capital, but for the counties who have gained power in those places, The performance is mediocre. It seems that they are unwilling to be exposed to the front of other countries too much. Without the power of protection, these two regions are like small boats suddenly caught in the turbulence. If they cannot pass the turbulence safely, they will only be overturned. "
" But I didn’t expect that they would...
" The Marquis of Oliver shook his head solemnly, and he was so awkward. Why did such a drastic change occur in just one month? Between the capital and the locality, each has its own ideas, and there is only a thin line between the capital and the locality, and the distance is out of control.
"My lord, we don’t have the heart to worry about others now, what we have to think about is what we should do now!"
The young adjutant looked at Oliver’s expression, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. The biggest weakness of his own adult is that he hesitated too much. If he was willing to seize the opportunity and send troops to the capital of Sende, the situation would not change.
Oliver Marquis turned and walked down the city wall, and said as he walked, "The door to Rusende has been opened, and there is a flat river in the basin. There is no danger to defend. Although Rusende is known as a hundred thousand mercenaries, it was the age of the former duke, and Now, the new duke has just succeeded to the throne and is trying to suppress the locality. Now there are complaints. The local county guard is weak, but he controls half of the duchy’s army. Without local support, he still accepts orders from the capital. Yes, apart from the permanent army in the capital, there are only 10,000 of us in Apsa"
" There are also forty thousand people. With 40,000 troops against the cavalry below who are not good at siege, they should be able to stand alone for a while! "The young adjutant followed, with a hint of luck in his tone,
Oliver Marquis stopped suddenly, glanced at the inexperienced adjutant, and said, "Kenneth, how long have you been with me?"
MM
"One year, Lord Marquis!" The young adjutant looked blank, wondering why the Marquis Oliver would ask.
"This is no wonder, you should have never seen the cruelty of war! This is the first time for such an emergency in my military life! An unknown luster flashed in the eyes of the Marquis Oliver, and said slowly
"In this world, nothing is possible or impossible. It just depends on whether the situation changes to my advantage. I know those people who are following the new duke. If we report the current situation to the capital, the only response we get is I I can guarantee that the new duke’s order is definitely not to send reinforcements from the capital, but to be the last person in Apsa. After all, we are not the new duke’s confidant after all, according to the new duke’s fierce character. , We can just use us to kill off the spirit of the Northwest Coast Army's first battle and buy time for ourselves to stick to the capital. Even if we watch all of us die, we will never be dispatched!"
" What should we do? There are people in the capital among our people. Even if we are fully locked up, the news will also be sent back to the capital soon! "The adjutant looked worried.
"Now we only have a gamble!" The Marquis Oliver closed his eyes, and said in a dream, "The capital will abandon us, resist the enemy several times its own for half a day, and finally be betrayed by his lord. Reason, even if we choose to surrender in the end, we won’t be gossiped behind!"
Just when Oliver was hesitant to make his decision, on the way from the Gaul Empire to the southwest, the Marquis of Stanley Binsai, the northwest commander appointed by the Gaul Emperor, rode in a powerful black war. Right now,
The upright body and the mountain wind blows his brown hair standing on the hillside like a lion. On the serpentine mountain path he can see, the army that can't see the end is marching southward,
The flags fluttering in the wind along the way are like rolling clouds, underneath are long spears like dense forests, the momentum is like the mighty rainbow of the army, and the black is like a dark cloud rolling over the earth,
Behind the Marquis of Stanley Binsai, a dozen or so generals of the Gaul Empire stood on their horses. They looked at the energetic army in front of them and felt a powerful force in their hands. They dispatched an army of 180,000 at one time. After the empire experienced the defeat of Seattle, it has rarely been seen, not to mention that 10,000 guards were dispatched this time. This is a testament to the grace of the emperor.
Although most people don’t understand, in the eyes of the emperor, why the Northwest is more threatening than the Slavs in the north, and they have been touched with disdain after repeated shots, but they have to admire the emperor’s mission to the northwest. The courage,
The 10,000 heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard, including the servant army, reached the objective 50,000, and the third army, one of the main army of the empire, had a total strength of more than 110,000 and a total of 180,000 troops. Already one-third of the current internal military strength of the empire. The army that hits the northwest will first enter the southwest that is connected to the hinterland of the Gaul Empire, and then turn to the northwest, because the number of troops is too large, and it is too far to reach the southwest from Kyoto. The logistics will mainly rely on Southwest,
At the military meeting, Murphy Obern, the head of the Southwest District, was strongly opposed. "The Southwest has just experienced the abuse of the Congolese and African army, the people’s livelihood is declining, and the supplies are scarce. According to the usual practice, organize a long-term supply. For each catty of grain to be transported on the route, more than five catties of grain will be consumed on the road. To feed the old ten thousand army, the daily needs of grain are enough to make the entire southwest collapse."
Unfortunately, Murphy Obone’s words were strongly refuted by the Marquis of Stanley Spencer, who had just taken office as the commander of the Northwest. "As long as one month of supply, our army can regain the entire northwest. At that time, the old army will be enough to support itself. Self-sufficient!"
"Regain the entire Northwest in one month!" Murphy Obune stood up, looked at the triumphant Stanley Spencer, and sneered, "Master General's habit of jokes on the Eastern battlefield has not changed. , I can only say that if you have to set the logistics of the old Ten Thousand Army in the southwest area, half a month is already the limit, and I will not be able to talk about it later."
"You...
. "Stanley Spencer is speechless for a while. Although he is the commander of the Northwest appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, the Northwest is still far away from him, and Murphy Obern is the Southwestern District, whose popularity and prestige are in full swing. Although the person in charge does not have the name of the commander-in-chief, he actually has the power to cover the sky in the southwest. It is not that His Majesty the emperor has not considered transferring him back from the southwest, but considering that the southwest is needed to support the war in the northwest. The plan to mobilize Murphy Obern
"Master Murphy Obern, the richness of the southwestern area is well known. If you use your full strength, it will not be a problem even if it lasts for a month!" A Gaul Empire general said angrily, "Or as the legend says, The Southwest has its own soldiers and wants to imitate the Northwest!"
" If there is no shame in the southwest, I can say it. The southwest has just been chaotic, nearly half of the land is barren, and the refugees are more than 100,000. I am still considering how to get food and what to do with all my strength, Ann Lord Shi is really self-righteous as always. "Murphy Obune looked directly at the Gaul general opposite. He was a nail that no one wanted to provoke when he was in the eastern battlefield. Now who dares to involve himself in the southwest? The interests of the mother are just like the old hen who protects the calf, Murphy O'Brien is just a mess without hesitation
" Well, half a month is half a month! "Stanley Spencer can only choose to compromise. This time the troops are all elite divisions. He didn't expect to rely on the southwest to provide logistics, but the southwest is located The only way for the army to go is that it has strong soldiers and unique advantages in the ground. It is the best forward position and supply base for attacking the northwest. In this case, even if it can’t get more of Murphy Obern Support, at least it can get a certain boost,
This time, His Majesty the emperor made a two-pronged approach. First, he sent a nail into the northwest, and then his own army cooperated with pressure. Stanley Spencer believed that the 180,000 army who attacked this time will soon gain a foothold in the northwest.
Under the influence of the person sent in advance by His Majesty the Emperor, the scattered forces in the northwest will soon be separated.
half a month is enough time to open up the situation. At that time, the war will be raised and the army will advance rapidly and quickly unify the entire northwest. It is said that the northwest is now rich in oil, especially the northwest coast, which is secretly called by the soldiers. On the Gold Coast, Stanleysell certainly wouldn’t take this seriously,
Northwest, the past generations are barren and there is not even a bit of oil and water. The Julius family has controlled the Northwest for half a century. In the end, it is between the first-rate and the second-rate. It is enough to see the potential of the Northwest, such a bitterly cold place. Even if you start commerce, you can go there prosperously,
But the generals use this idea to boost the morale of the army. It is also a good way. The ordinary soldiers don’t know this. They only see the shops in the streets and alleys filled with goods from the northwest, and Caravans traveling back and forth will also like to talk about Northwest. In fact, most caravans have never been to Northwest. They just bear the name of Northwest, so that they can sell their goods at a good price.
The weather in May is already hot. The Old Ten Thousand Empire army marched southward in two ways. Before reaching the southwest, Stanley Spencer heard that Murphy Obern’s power in the southwest area can be described as shocking. ,
When you really enter the southwest, this feeling is even stronger. The southwest area is indeed a scene that has just been hit hard. There are waist-high weeds growing in the barren fields, and the villages passing by are also burned. Traces, the scorched thatched hut, and the villagers next to them are dressed in tattered linen clothes, watching the army slowly advance with a pair of fearful eyes,
Murphy Obon, as the person in charge of the Southwest Region, is different from those in other areas. Because of the particularity of the Southwest Region, Murphy Obon has a high-spirited army of more than 100,000 Southwestern Army here, independent The logistical system and fiscal revenue and expenditure system, the independent appointment and removal of officials in the jurisdiction, the military, political and financial resources are all in hand, although Murphy O'Born firmly denies himself and claims that he is the most loyal general to the empire,
But everything in the Southwest District shows that Murphy Obune's influence in the Southwest District is really too great. The 180,000 army conquering the northwest enters the southwest and prepares to rest for a few days before heading toward the northwest.
Stanley Spencer’s first target was the sea city known as the miracle of the Northwest. It has become the core of the entire Northwest and the most important support point for the source of the Northwest Turmoil, whether it is military status or economics. Status is undoubtedly the most important thing, and what Stanley Spencer values most is that Dahai City is the place where the barbarians in the northwest must be saved. As long as I advance toward Dahai City with all my strength, it is enough to contain all the forces on the northwest coast. The movement of Wan's army,
"Quick battle and quick decision, with a complete battle, will end everything in this miraculous city"
Stanley Spencer dared to say that he would occupy the Northwest within a month. In fact, he planned to fight such a decisive battle. As long as he defeated the northwest coast, and then joined forces with Ruosend to attack Denia, the entire northwest would have no battle Opponents
In the hot weather in the afternoon, Stanley Spencer was reviewing a report from the northwest. Cicadas could be heard outside the window. The report in his hand made Stanley Spencer's hand tremble slightly,
It was an accident that a civil war broke out in the Northwest! Looking at the complete text, Stanley Spencer moved a little intolerably. The northwest coast suddenly sent troops to Ruosend. Thirty thousand cavalry appeared silently outside the capital of Rusend, shaking in the northwest.
" The main force on the northwest coast is now gathered under the capital city of Persend. The northwest coast is empty. If your Excellency leads the army to get close quickly, it can be achieved in one battle! "The hidden son under the arrangement of the emperor, at this time expressed With a rare calmness, he was able to write such a letter under the situation of heavy soldiers. Even Stanley Spencer felt a trace of admiration for this. He quickly summoned all the generals and assigned the army to the preferred goal in four directions. The order for Dahaicheng to be close
at the southwest and northwest borders~IndoMTL.com~A large army also arrived: cavalry in red cloaks moved slowly along the two sides of the Sona River, and beside them, there was a huge lineup of infantry. The Legion, row after row of black armor, covered the grasslands where the eyes could be seen, and the carriages carrying heavy equipment and light and heavy supplies meandered without end to end.
riding a war horse on the banks of the Sona River, the fat man raised his head and stared at the sky, his face solemn,
He received the news from the southwest area that the Kyoto encroachment army finally started to move. He suppressed the capital of Sende, and indeed introduced this big fish hiding in the southwest area waiting for an opportunity. Using the capital of Ruosende as a bait, isn't it the 30,000 cavalry who used as a bait,
Saron rides a horse to his side, "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
"Flag." The fat man said grimly
"Flag?" Saraon was taken aback, and followed the fat man's gaze. 170,000 coastal troops are advancing in a rigorous battle. The light cavalry, heavy infantry, and light infantry, nearly 170,000 troops advancing along the river, the flags continue like the sea,
"Stop" The fat man raised his hand, and the army stopped, the light of the armor covered the river rocks where he could see, and the horses' hoofs made a noise. And just above the marching army, the black falcon flag was deployed by Xi Xi, and in the dazzling sunlight, the flying flag looked so conspicuous.
