Power and Empire Chapter 1652: Horizon (7)

　　 In early July, the Gauls are immersed in the celebration of the first anniversary of the imperial emperor's accession to the throne. Although there was a discordant tone of rebellion in the southwest, the streets and alleys were filled with fire-like enthusiasm. Colorful lights hung high, colored flags fluttered, banners fluttered in the wind, singing and dancing went flat, and people celebrating in various cities held celebrations "Long live the empire" Long live the emperor" The streets are full of various slogans. In a peaceful atmosphere, in the border Rusty area of ​​the border southwest, the young local guard officer Veklock is happily walking up the street. Go to the steps of the defense chief’s office on the second floor,

　　

　　 "Who?" The guard in front reached out and stopped him.

　　

　　 "Well, don’t you recognize me? I’m Veklock from the 3rd garrison!" Veklock looked arrogant and looked at the guards who stopped him with disdain. The weapons in the guards’ hands made him feel uncomfortable. Without stopping, his sister is the wife of Andres of the local guards, and the brother-in-law of the local guards. In the building of the local guards, he has always walked sideways, because some time ago there was a little The problem, he was sent out to hide for a month. He just came back today and was blocked by someone at his brother-in-law’s base camp. It would be too embarrassing if it spread out.

　　

　　 He looked angrily at the guard who stopped him with a weapon. He felt that he had never seen him before. It should be a rookie who came just now. With such thoughts, Rockwick looked threatening. Said "Newcomer, I don't care where you transferred from, you should check who I am, otherwise, I will make you unable to eat!"

　　

　　"Vicklock?" The man who stopped his guards and walked out of a guard captain model, opened a list in his hand and looked at him, then glanced at him with a grim face, and replied, "No I checked, your name is not on the list of participants, please go back!"

　　

　　"What? List of participants! What a joke, I'm Wicklock"

　　

　　 Veklock looked angry. He didn't expect that he would be slapped so naked, and he suddenly scolded angrily, "Find out, Andres of the local garrison is my brother-in-law, you will regret it, I I will give you a good gesture, and then transfer you blind guys to patrol the most dangerous areas."

　　

　　"Andres of the local guards? Do you have this name?"

　　

　　 The captain of the guard looked at the list in his hand again, grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth, still nothing! But also, an officer of this level is not eligible to participate in today's meeting. There is no need to hesitate. He turned impatiently and waved his hand to his subordinates. "Drag him out! If you hear this guy making noise here again, just Execution! The adults above don’t want to hear such ignorant voices!"

　　

　　" was executed on the spot! "Vicklock was a little frightened suddenly, until he was thrown out heavily, he realized that there was no one he knew in the entire building,

　　

　　"What's wrong? Wicklock looked at the building he used to be familiar with in a daze. He didn't go wrong. This is the building of the local guard group. I haven't seen it in a month. There are more than a thousand guards in a Norwegian big guard group. Did it just evaporate?

　　

　　In the conference hall on the second floor of the building, a golden-haired lieutenant is pointing at the map on the wall with a wooden whip

　　

　　"According to the latest intelligence, the northwestern rebels continue to accept the southwestern region, and have already obtained three-quarters of the control of the southwestern region. The total force is about 220,000. According to intelligence, there are still some infantry scattered. The team is gathering to the southwest, and may exceed 250,000 in mid-to-late July. Our control area is in the southwestern capital, with a force of 50,000. The northwestern rebels have adopted encirclement tactics, but they have been slow to launch. The attack should be to draw out our reinforcements and eat them in one bite! At present, the other side does not know that our army has arrived in the Rusty area, which is only a river away from the southwest. If our army moves according to the opportunity, it can The good effect of the surprise attack"

　　

　　"According to the emperor’s strategic deployment, our Sixth Army will put the Rusty region into combat in the southwest according to the situation!" Hasen Rambo, commander of the Sixth Army of the Gaul Empire, swept across the army participating in the meeting. Generals, open the folder on the desktop in your hands and read the emperor’s orders aloud

　　

　　He is forty-one years old, he wears a pair of gold-wire glasses, if he is not in a neat uniform of the imperial legionnaire, he is easily reminiscent of the teacher in the school. In the eastern battlefield, his name is completely similar to his appearance. Doesn't match, the tiger of Gaul! The Sixth Army under its subordinates totaled 110,000, and 30,000 remained in Imperial Kyoto to participate in the celebration of His Majesty the Emperor. The other 80,000 were divided into six batches and replaced the defense of the Rusty area in accordance with the custom of changing defenses. This is why the place The reason why the guards station suddenly became the army station

　　

　　 Rusty area was originally the second line of defense deployed by the Empire against the Congolese. Once the southwestern area is breached, Rusty is used to block the frontline battlefields of the Congolese soldiers. The well-equipped, spacious barracks, and the large quantities of military rations that have been hoarded all the year round are enough to support the stationing of the 30 troops

　　

　　 "My lord, the emperor said that we choose to attack according to the situation, but when can we attack?"

　　

　　 After listening to Hasen Rambolang and reading the order, a young general who was about twenty-five years old stood up and asked with an unpleasant expression, "Our army has been in the Rusty area for half a month, every day. During the rest and recuperation, as far as I know, not only did we receive the order for the Southwest Rebellion, but the Eighth Army also received the order. The two armies add up to more than 200,000 people. Do we still need to fear a group of so-called rebels? "

　　

　　 This young general is called Bokasu. He is wearing a general uniform, but the arrogance in his tone gives people a feeling of incompatibility. He can climb up to the position of an imperial general before the age of 30, commanding more than 20,000 people. The troops, this proves that he is not only abilities, but also a background that people can’t ignore.

　　

　　 Seeing Bokasu’s questioning, Hasen Rambo’s stern face showed a rare fluctuation, and he whispered, "This playboy, who puts a good Kyoto Guards deputy commander improperly, ran to the field army where he was sleeping and sleeping. It’s right for young people to be arrogant, but it also depends on who they are right.

　　

　　 I am the commander of the dignified imperial army. Even if your grandfather Bokasu served as the former prime minister of the empire, you can’t ignore it like you are.

　　

　　"General Bokasu of the Fifth Infantry Regiment! The so-called rebels in your mouth have just defeated Stanley Spencer at the Sona River! The empire has paid 100,000 lives for this."

　　

　　, with a bit of irritation, Hasen Rambo said in a bad tone, "If I remember correctly, you had an internship in the Eastern Battlefield for a month, and you were Stanley Spencer’s deputy. In a sense, Stan Libincer can be regarded as your teacher. Facing opponents who defeated your teacher, is this your attitude?"

　　

　　" is that the subordinates are too rude, they just make the case! Please don’t take it to heart! "Bokasu opened his mouth. I didn’t expect Hasen Rambo, who has never spoken much, to speak so politely, so he can only choose to be full. Sit down with a depressed face,

　　

　　 Although he has the name of a **** in Kyoto, he is not a idiot. If a star like Stanley Spencer is defeated, he really has no right to clamor here, and after all, this is Hasen Rambo’s sixth The name of the Tiger of Gaul is not for nothing. Hasen Rambo is different from Stanley Spencer, who is sleek. The Sixth Army is called the Tiger Army in the Gaul Legion. It has six infantry regiments under its command. Bravery, there has been an astonishing record of more than half of the battle damage and no collapse. Similarly, as the commander of the Tiger Army, Hasen Lambo, the external feeling is the kind of hard-liner who is as strong as steel and does not enter the oil and salt.

　　

　　" Then continue to explain the layout of this battle!" Hasen Rambo waved, the legion adjutant standing on the podium continued to explain the situation,

　　

　　" Let’s end the layout, everyone eat lunch and take a good rest! "At noon, Hasen Rambo closed the plan in his hand and gave orders to everyone

　　

　　 unknowingly, the whole morning passed like this, it was really boring! Bokasu sighed slightly, and stood up from his seat disappointed. It was a tiring and helpless meeting. The decision that was just made was still moving as usual! This had to make Bokasu feel bored for a while,

　　

　　 It is obvious that you can take the first shot and decide the victory or defeat, but now whether it is the Sixth Army or the Eighth Army, it seems that they are holding the idea of ​​waiting for changes, but also, if the current situation is clear, the Northwestern Rebels will The southwestern capital was encircled and not attacked. Heavy soldiers must be deployed on the rescue road. Whoever goes first must face the Northwest rebels of as many as 200,000 people. It’s not necessarily that it can’t be rescued,

　　

　　 The leader of the Northwestern rebels, Vicky Falcon, is a commander with the name of a **** of war. Although most of the Gaul generals are not cold with this title, they can defeat an experienced battlefield veteran like Stanley Spencer in one fell swoop. It also proves that this name is not random, at least it is a bit of real material, such an opponent, I am afraid that he has opened his pockets long ago, waiting for someone to drill into it

　　

　　 Through the window, Bokasu saw Hasen Rambo walking upstairs to a carriage parked downstairs and heading away. There was no tension before the war. It is said that this tiger of Gaul had been on the eastern battlefield. The record of not leaving the headquarters for four days, while the other colleagues sat together according to their own relationships, eating special food while laughing and talking. They were all interesting things that happened recently, none of them. Speaking of the Southwest, because everyone knows that the Southwest has become a predicament, it is the same whether you mention it or not

　　

　　 Bokasu boringly uses a fork to separate a grilled crucian carp, and puts the tender and delicate fish in the mouth, which is light and tasteless,

　　

　　 Is this really the front line of the war? Through the window of the restaurant, Bokasu looked at the yellow spots of the sun outside the window from the dense leaves. The only calm was the swaying of the leaves caused by the wind. He was in a daze, and occasionally other colleagues laughed and talked in his ears. Voice, it's so quiet here, war is something out of reach!

　　

　　 Tiger Army up and down, only oneself or the most urgent to save the Southwest, Bokasu’s mouth can’t help but smile. Most people think that if the Northwestern rebels can fight with the left-behind troops in the Southwest, they will be exhausted. With a wave of the army, this cheap pick is really nothing to say, but Bokasu can’t just do it. The teacher Stanley Spencer is still in the southwest, and the one he has always loved is said to be trapped in the southwest. This time, thanks to the favor of the adults, I finally arranged to join the Tiger Army responsible for the rescue of the Southwest, seeking a general with real power. If he is careless, Bokasu knows that Hasen Rampo, who has never been very eye-catching to himself, is I had long wished to drive myself away sooner.

　　

　　 boring idle, he dipped his hand with the red wine in the glass, dipped a slanted bar on the table, then clicked a dot on one side of the bar, and said to himself boringly. "This is even the Ditru Highland as the border. As far as the terrain is concerned, it is much higher than Alxa and Alxa, which is also an important border town. If it is me, I will send someone to occupy this place and stand on this plateau, and you can overlook it from a high altitude. The whole area, here is the commanding heights of the whole area. If there are enough cavalry troops, entering from here, tut, I can’t imagine it!"

　　

　　"What's wrong, my Bocasu-sama!"

　　

　　A middle-aged military officer of about 40 years old came over with his food plate, some gray hair, a little mismatched with his spiritual face,

　　

　　 Winken, the adjutant of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Gaul Sixth Army, that is to say, he is the adjutant of Bokasu, young and old. Winken has a good reputation in the Sixth Army, although his combat ability is not very good. But he is sincere in his work and has rich experience in handling affairs.

　　

　　"Nothing, just a little boring self-entertainment!"

Bokasu saw the old Wenken coming over, smiled on his face, and scratched out the things he had drawn on the table boringly, without knowing that he was missing a life-and-death war.

When he crossed out these graphics, he was still thinking, how could it be possible? Unless the Northwestern rebels take the initiative while ignoring the possibility of facing the enemy, such a situation can happen. Of course, if the other party really does this, here is already

The garrison, which had been replaced by the elite Gaul troops, would give it a fierce counterattack. At that time, the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army swarmed with 200,000 troops, and the Northwestern Rebels had no other possibility than being annihilated and defeated.

　　

　　Ditru Heights

　　

　　 The golden sunlight slowly penetrated the clouds, the earth was bathed in vibrant sunlight, the highland weeds stretched out comfortably in the morning breeze, and the unknown wild flowers were greedy under the sunlight. By absorbing sunlight, air and moisture, you can grow taller and stronger, be able to see higher and farther, and stay in this world for a longer time.

　　

　　 On the right wall of the near-ruin Fort Ditruu, the black smoke rising in the air is very abrupt and out of place. The entire city wall is littered with scattered stones and rubble, and the city is burnt black. In the face, a mess, charred corpses abound,

　　

　　 The majestic fortress that once guarded the highlands, under the sudden onslaught of more than 60,000 Falcons, was beaten in just half a day, leaving only the burning ruins. The original 5-meter-high city wall was neatly turned into two black and white paragraphs. Fortunately, the remaining half of the city wall was also scorched black by the smoke formed by the violent burning of the burning bomb.

　　

　　 Under the root of the wall, there is still a extinguished flame burning, emitting a strong black smoke. The arrow towers on the city walls are the main focus of care. Whether it is the watchtowers protruding from the four corners of the fortress or the more than ten arrow towers built temporarily, they all collapsed in several rounds of bombardment

　　

　　 Under the blue sky, a slightly chilly autumn breeze hit the fat man’s stern face, riding on a majestic horse that fits his body, and his black devil’s armor flashed in the sun. With a luster similar to the ghost, more than a dozen cavalry in black armor lined up behind him, and the falcon battle flag shook the horse behind them.

　　

　　 "Your Majesty, Rudit Highland Fortress has annihilated 2,314 of the enemy's defenders, and the enemy has been wiped out." Saron ran from the front, rolled over and dismounted in front of the fat man and got down on one knee to report , Without paying attention to the quagmire that has not dried up just now because of the end of the rainy season,

　　

　　"pop" When he knelt, half of his leg was in muddy water. The muddy water exploded in all directions, but he didn't even move his eyebrows. Behind him, a group of people were dressed in black. The falcon cavalry of the first swept across the low highland fields ahead like water, and thick black smoke went straight up into the sky from the center of the fortress.

　　

　　On the top of the broken fortress, a Gaul garrison flag was chopped off by the soldiers. The broken battle flag was like a broken kite fluttering in the bright sunshine

　　

　　 On July 11th, 30,000 Falcon cavalry rushed into the Rusty region bordering the southwest with a surprise attitude. In the early morning, in the slight morning light, the flag of the Falcon light cavalry appeared like a ghost on the marching. In front of a hundred-man patrol on the border of the Gaul Eighth Army, the patrol of the Gaul Eighth Army was stunned.

　　

　　 Horseshoe rumbling, the wind roaring, the mighty power, a cavalry in black armor swooped down the hill like an avalanche, a thousand shiny swords kicked down with thunder-like horseshoes, countless sharp The sword shone with a dazzling white light,

　　

　　"Northwestern Rebels!"

The patrol officer just came to shout out, and was overwhelmed by the swift impact of thousands of black armored cavalry. Within a day, 10,000 were responsible for harassing hundreds of squads from the falcon cavalry, and Gaul What people have learned is what comes and goes like

Wind, the commander of the Gaul Eighth Army hurriedly issued orders to the troops stationed everywhere~IndoMTL.com~ But the assault of the Falcon Army was too sudden, the war was fully ignited in one day, and the side corresponded to Rudit Heights. The Eighth Army paid super on the same day

At the cost of a thousand people, six main infantry regiments dressed as local garrison regiments were attacked at the same time, which made the commander of the Eighth Army jump on the spot

　　

　　 "Asshole, immediately figure out the specific number of enemies!"

　　

　　 The commander of the Gaul Eighth Army was unable to mobilize his troops in time to respond to the sudden flank attack. The troops from all sides were reporting attacks, and they were completely frightened by the light cavalry roaring past the camp.

　　

　　 There is a unit dressed up as a local garrison. It even encountered six attacks in one night, fighting almost overnight,

　　

　　 The general of this army thought he was surrounded by the enemy’s main cavalry, and almost did not order to give up the defensive line and move closer to the headquarters of the legion. Because of the complete confusion, the Eighth Army could only order the attacked. The troops defend themselves.

　　

　　 When the morning light rises from the horizon the next day, 20,000 Falcon Central Cavalry who secretly crossed the Eighth Army’s defense line have already been under the city of Lacey, the largest grain-producing area in the Rusty area.

　　

　　 There are endless and breathtaking golden wheat waves in front of you. Now it is July when the harvest is about to be harvested, and the earth will be yellow in autumn.

　　

　　 "It's a pity!" Salon's muddy one-eyed glance swept across the golden, cold-blooded eyes trembling, and finally raised her hand and shouted "Ignition!" (to be continued) [] If you Like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
