Power and Empire Chapter 1603: Gaulian Winter (5)
The white mist was still pervading the port stone road. A falcon guard cavalry wearing black armor galloped from the port position and shouted while running. The sound attracted the attention of many soldiers in the port. Under the attention of everyone, the cavalry guards entered the center of the port. It was a four-story square building. It used to be the base camp of the Southwest Navy. After the Falcon Navy took over, it served as the temporary headquarters of the Falcon Navy. The guards cavalry who reported the news stopped their horses in front of the steps of the building. The horses were not stable yet. The cavalry guards jumped off the horses neatly and hurried up to the eighteen steps in front of them.
"Quickly, the report is ahead"
The cavalry guards pushed open the door forcefully with their right hand, raised the battle report in their hands and trot all the way. The loud voice shook the outer hall on the first floor of the command room. Several naval officers on duty almost turned their heads at the same time. When the deputy chief in charge of secret transmission on the first floor quickly walked over and took the battle report from the messenger, his eyes stopped for a moment on the red seal of the report, and there was no delay even to look at it again. Turn upstairs in a hurry,
The heavy footsteps of the adjutant rang quickly in the stairwell, then suddenly stopped and disappeared. . . .
At this moment, the naval officers waiting downstairs had some reaction. One of the brave officers picked up a pot of wine in his desk, quietly handed it to the guard cavalry who was breathing at the door, and asked in a low voice. "Brother, can you tell me the truth? Is the Navy a victory this time or..."
"Of course it is a victory!" The guard cavalry raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said somewhat vaguely. "It was the news from the attacking fleet just now! Master Dustrum Kai's fleet is east of the Riston Sea. In 40 miles, he defeated the Imperial Navy of Congo, which had been trailing all night, and sank 74 enemy warships at the cost of 7 Dragon Tooth warships! The enemy fleet collapsed and fled all around, and there was no more enemy in the southwestern waters. It’s a battleship. Although this news has not been made public yet. Obviously, it won’t be classified as a secret soon
"So, we won! We won!" The naval officer's cheers echoed in his ears. The entire command hall was already a sea of joy. They clapped fiercely to celebrate, hugged fiercely, and hugged fiercely. He slapped the opponent's shoulder hard, and beat the opponent's chest.
"The entire southwestern sea is ours! Long live the Navy"
Everyone is laughing, this time it is the navy's battle for revenge. The whole plan has invaded the navy so much effort, not to mention the mobilization of materials, just say that in order to make up a huge transport fleet of up to 200 ships, it is enough for the Admiralty to be busy and dizzy.
"What's going on below?"
The fat man turned around from the window, his eyes were red like rabbits, and he didn't sleep all night. This time, the plan is really risky, but it corresponds to adventure. Once it succeeded, the rewards would be huge. After the heavy forces of the Congolese Navy assembled, they took down the core of the sea, Yadunis, and returned the carbine. Dragging the main force of the Congolese navy into an extremely unfavorable and passive battlefield, whether the decoy fleet can complete the mission will be the key to the entire battle.
But 20 hours have passed now. Even the fat guy who has reviewed the whole plan more than a dozen times is still upset in his heart
This is war, and plans will never keep up with changes. Any situation can happen. Victory has never been given lightly. It is the final result of the exchange of blood, life and will. The attack fleet is advancing strongly, but the initial disadvantage stagnates. Karma has left the next ten hours to the end. As far as the exhausted attack fleet is concerned, it is wandering on the verge of death. Once the Gangfei Navy sees through its own strategic intentions, or gives up following and quickly returns, the 20,000 armies fighting on the island will face enemy back and forth.
No one knows how many people will sleep in the vast ocean after the war is over. There are even countless of them, without even a tombstone. However, they have left their footsteps in this era, their voices, and their roars
"Your Majesty, the report ahead!"
The deputy chief on duty hurried in with the battle report and handed it to the fat man.
The fat man took a look, and the news was a good news. Dusterenkai really lived up to his expectations. At a distance of 40 nautical miles from the target trap, he suddenly killed Gang Fei and was caught off guard. Gang Fei's navy hurriedly faced off, fighting for 2 hours. The formation of the non-navy fleet was disrupted, and the sailors were tired and unable to continue fighting, and had to leave more than 70 warships to evacuate. The Navy used its own life and glory as a bet to win the qualification that now bursts with cheers that resounded across the sky!
"Tell Hukochili, who is fighting on Yadunis, that the navy has completed the mission. Now it’s up to him! Before the sun rises to the center line today, I want Yadunis to raise the flag of the Falcons. 'The fat man placed the hand-weighted report on the table with a cold face, and waved his hand to the deputy chief who sent the report.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The deputy chief exited the room very interestingly
Fatty looked at the sea outside the window, listening to the cheers of the naval officers downstairs in his ear, the dark pupils faintly shone with deep spots of light, the sponge under the hot winter sun, with a bright red light shining Coming over, the sea of red sea was rolling in the sun, and the waves of white sea were dyed red, like a wrinkled plain cloth. The harbor once densely masted, at this moment, only the shadows of a few transport ships can be seen empty. , The thick fog of white reverberates in the port, and the shadows of soldiers patrolling in the port are like clouds,
The soul of the Imperial Navy will be cast again in this battle. Failure is not terrible. Being able to rise from failure is what the Imperial Navy needs most. Ten minutes later, Fatty received a report from the Army. , Hu Keqili really successfully won Adonis Island! The Falcon battle flag was flying over the island of Yadunis, which marked that the southwestern waters were completely under the control of the Falcon Navy. On February 21, the Congolese Navy, which had lost its support points and most of its combat warships, had to be in the Falcon Navy. Step by step, the acting commander-in-chief Roland was pressed tightly. Lefibere ordered the evacuation from the southwest sea.
At the end of the 15-day battle in the Southwest Sea, the Falcon Fleet used incredible lure tactics to severely damage the Congolese and Africa naval fleet, which was famous on the Europa continent, and destroyed the Congolese and Africa Navy ships at the cost of 21 battleships A total of 179 ships, nine ships were seized, and the heavily stationed port of Yadunis was captured in one fell swoop,
Just a famous admiral, Hobro, commander-in-chief of the navy, and his three fleet commanders were killed in action. This campaign was later hailed as a classic case of "reversed naval tactics". March 2rì. The footsteps of the chūn sky are getting closer, and Julius Faubourg, the head of the Southwest Army who has gained 40,000 new troops, has completely stabilized the unfavorable situation. The crisis in the southwest has finally shown signs of thawing with the arrival of the chūn season.
"It seems unfortunate that you have said that the crisis in the southwest has just passed, and I received an order to return to Beijing to report on my duties!" In the new navy building, the head of the Southwest Army, the white-haired Zhuli accounted for almost half. Fort Elsford, the corner of his mouth smiled distressedly at the somewhat astonished fat man
"How can you be so fast! Now transfer you away, isn't it typical to send someone to take credit" The fat man stood up a little angrily, and hit the table with his right fist. The Falcon Navy has just completed its control of the southwestern waters. If the great backer, Julius Fort, is moved away in this way, it will have a great impact on the Falcon Army’s operations in the southwest.
"Indeed, even I was surprised!" Julius Sford sat down opposite the fat man and said, "It may be that the Slavs are making trouble too much, and I don’t know where an unknown military commander came from. Defeated the two regiments that the emperor was afraid to send, and now has a firm foothold in the northern part of the empire!"
"So. This time it's domestically exhausted and I have to transfer you back!"
The fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent so much effort on Juliers Fort, even though it was already a marriage. But political friendship is also limited after all. Once the Gaul emperor really wants to reuse Julius Faubourg, who can guarantee that the heart of the Gaul empire will not waver?
"This is the most troublesome place!" Julius Faubourg shook his head with no joy on his face. "Fight against the Slavs. An army is necessary, but my Fifth Army is in the northwest, the emperor. It is impossible for your Majesty to allow me to lead the Fifth Army back to Beijing. The other troops fighting against the Slavs are either private armies of various forces or generals related to the Alger farm. His Majesty placed me above these people. It’s just set me up and roast on the fire!"
"Then you still have to go back?" The fat man looked dazed, this is too shameless
"The southwest will not be my place after all. If you don't go back, you will die in Gangfei. At least there is some hope when you go back!" Julius Faubourg smiled sadly." The empire just moved southwest. 30,000 reinforcements were sent. The commander is Murphy Obern of the Murphyli family. He is the most elegant person in the Gallic world recently. It is said that he once defeated the famous Chinese and Bianist Long Yang in Seattle. If It was not that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly transferred him back, or that the Battle of Seattle would not be defeated so miserably. The 30,000 people he brought were all Dragon Armies of the Murphy family, and he would also succeed me as the head of the Southwest District. There are rumors that His Majesty the Emperor will use him to reorganize the Southwest Army. To rectify the Southwest, the Northwest will inevitably be touched, so you must be careful!"
The voice of Julius Faubourg stopped and continued, "I should have half a month's time. According to the agreement, you will immediately take away the navy supplies and the two cities on the agreement."
"Okay, I'll be as soon as possible!" The fat man took a deep breath. He was also worried about the two cities on the agreement. Some time ago, he was too busy. Although it has provoked some border disputes, it has not yet reached the end. At the time of hands-on, some things have to happen naturally. If you kill someone or see blood, it will make things very troublesome.
So the fat guy didn’t really take responsibility for this matter, Lidarcus, at best, occasionally ran to sāo occasionally to disturb, frighten, frighten, and then ran back again,
If you do too much, people will feel numb. Fatty made this plan. Fatty wanted to engage in peaceful evolution, not **** slaughter of the city. At the beginning, it really caused a lot of panic in the two cities. See So many Northwest troops came in mightily, swords and guns were like forests, the army was crushing the city, and the two cities were going to be lifted off in an aura.
"The Northwest Army aggressively invaded, and the Lord Faaborg immediately rescued." The garrison officers of the two cities were completely scared to death. In just three days, they wrote more than a dozen letters of assistance to Juliers Faubourg. , The Julius Fort, who knew the whole plan, sent someone over to see the result. It seemed that there was a tacit understanding. As long as someone from the Southwest Army came, the Northwest Army immediately withdrew and disappeared. This happened several times. , The two cities have become accustomed to it, and sometimes many citizens even run to the city wall, holding snacks, and watching the bustle,
"That is the Northwest Falcon Army, which was rumored to have defeated the 100,000 troops in the Southwest. It is really spectacular!" The citizens have experienced several major fluctuations and panics. After discovering that the Northwest Army has no malicious intent, they are now facing The Northwest Army's move to suppress the city was completely ridiculous. Even if the city hall reminded the citizens to pay more attention to it many times, no one took it seriously. If the other party wanted to attack the city, they would have won it in one fell swoop.
Although no one knows the madness of the Northwest Army's move outside the city, no one believes that the patrol team in the city with lack of armor can really stop such a powerful army from entering the city?
This is the army, the warriors who have really experienced the battlefield, look at the sharp and **** eyes of those soldiers. And the armor with pits on the body, no one would suspect that the Northwest Army outside the city is a group of recruits, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, otherwise, how can this kind of just gaze make ordinary people feel shivering. , Some old military officers in the city, every time they look at the Northwest Army outside the city, their eyes are red. It's terrible, this is the master of the land!
Compared with knowledgeable veterans, it can be without danger. It is very rare for ordinary people to see such a majestic military posture and the real **** battlefield of the warriors at such a close range, and I heard that the commander of this Northwest Army is not someone else, but it is based on the small city of Rwand. Aka resisted the 100,000 Southwest Army for a full 14 days. Known as the "Iron Wall," Lidarcus, the famous Northwestern general, after the Northwest War, the name of Lidarcus has spread throughout the southwest. Names such as Iron Wall, Unfalling Light, Master of Defense, etc. are also coming,
According to the rumors, the northwest star is 2 meters tall and his body is sturdy like a bison. It is said that during a defensive battle in Rwanda, the city gate was about to be knocked open by a heavy wooden mine car of the Southwest Army. , It was this northwestern famous general who used his back to withstand the swaying city gate with his back, so that the heavy wooden mine carts of the Southwest Army could not shake the city gate any more. It is said that even the former southwest commander was angry at that time. Falling down from the horse, for these rumors that sounded unhuman, Lidarcus, who was only 1.75 meters tall and weighed less than 120 kg, was a little dumbfounded. He became famous at the same time as Hu Keqilihe. The taste of famous generals, the objects of tatuenko's two great friends, turned out not to be so good.
"Lidarcusi, I didn’t expect you to be so amazing! Are you interested in strolling along the border?" A fat man with a bit of drunkenness, a pair of glowing Lidakus felt hairy in his heart, it’s been a long time. I saw your Majesty Falcon in such a state. The last time I saw it, it was the time when Fatty was the Duke of Samer.
"Subordinates..." Lidarcus was so frightened that he couldn't even say everything, the fat man waved his hand and smirked drunkly."
"Don't worry, it's actually fine. It feels good to be a famous general." The fat man chuckled smirkly, his eyes bright like a light bulb, and Lidarcus's heart dropped to freezing point.
"You are now the image spokesperson for my northwest coast. In the entire southwest, there are more people who know your Lidacus than my northwest barbarian. I don't know if this is a cart before the horse!"
"Your Majesty, your subordinates really don't have such thoughts!" Lidarcus was completely frightened by the fat man's half-truths. He knelt on the ground, his heads were so terrible. Now, what he is afraid of is not words, but the current state of the fat man
"Damn, your Majesty is drunk, none of these **** told me!" Lidarcus has even the heart of death. The drunk fat man has a hobby that claims to be inhuman, and he likes to get drunk the most. When I get drunk, the wine is very poor. The catch phrase is "Don’t be afraid, I am not usually drunk, and the one who is drunk is not a person!" Generally speaking, the big pets only need to see the fat man after a few drinks. , The eyes of a pair of little beans started to red, silly, pretending to be silly, basically correct,
Your Majesty is drunk, even a warrior like Hu Keqili is a bird and beast who flies away. The fat man turned a few laps against Lidarcus, who was shivering like a chicken~IndoMTL.com~ I visually inspected Lidacus’ small body, how can he not reach the 2 meters height he requested,
"I don’t know if people can stretch like bread! I heard that there is a kind of see-saw, as long as you pull the head and feet at the same time, you can stretch a person individually. It is said that some people have stretched 30 centimeters. "Hey" the fat man has red eyes and his mouth is full of drunken talk,
"See-saw! 30 cm..."
Lidarcus has been scared and fainted. Okay, it's actually pretending to be dead. The best way to run into a drunkenness with your Majesty Falcon is to pretend to die! This was the blood experience of the empire’s important officials. Seeing Lidarcus fainted very spinelessly, Fatty was very sorry to revise the plan.
Since you can't "win by appearance", just "take your heart by name", so a name appointed by His Majesty Falcon fell on Lidarcus, "City Slayer Lidarcus!"
Lidarcus, who has always been a good man, was given the name of murder and unforgivable.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, sure enough, I heard that the leader of the Northwest Army on the opposite side was Lidakus, the famous northwestern general "City Slayer" just like Zhongtian. The two cities immediately dared not make any changes.
