Power and Empire Chapter 1660: Grid (5)
It is quiet in the brightly-lit corridor, and at nightfall, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the high spires of the four-corner towers and the roofs of the zhōngyāng continuous buildings, golden. Some sunlight passes through the lattice glass of the roof and falls on the wall obliquely below the room, turning into a pattern of five lights, spots of light, like an empty theater, playing sound movies in the dark, several empires University attendants wearing traditional black robes, standing in front of the steps talking, or walking slowly, a few pigeons flew up, flew over the open space and buildings in front, and circled the far end of the city square. , Fly back again. Or fall on the beautiful sculpture on the pillars of the wall, or fall on the side of the fountain, making a cooing sound
In the corridor, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. There are hundreds of guard knights wearing royal seal armors. The gorgeous armors carry the majesty of the royal family.
Every guard knight is carefully selected, handsome and energetic, behind him is a dazzling red cloak, standing there, like a pleasing scenery, the entire corridor seems to be immersed in In the different planes of the mundane world, time passes slowly.
The young emperor Gaul turned his back on his back and looked up the mural in the corridor. This is a familiar oil painting of the Battle of Elsa, painted in the nave corridor near the side door of the second academic and research office. It describes three More than a hundred years ago, the most important battle before the establishment of the Gaul Empire,
In the middle of every month, this place will be closed. The Emperor of the Empire will personally come here to appreciate various famous paintings. Since three years ago, this has been an open secret of the Imperial University, but no one knows. In fact, the emperor's eyes did not pay attention to the priceless picture scroll hanging on the wall of the corridor hall. It will only stay for an hour or two in front of an unsurprising mural. In the neatly-paved marble courtyard outside the corridor, several high-ranking officers of the Imperial Guard were gathered together and whispered,
Two teams of guard knights stood quietly at the side door, and dozens of guards guarding the surrounding body were straight and not squinting.
The atmosphere here is a bit solemn. The faces of these senior generals in the courtyard were not very attractive. While talking in a low voice, they looked up the corridor from time to time. Speaking of excitement, it’s just a sigh of irony,
The battle report from the southwest side of the empire has arrived. Since the defeat of the Battle of Sona River. The Gaul Eighth Army, which was secretly transferred from the eastern battlefield to the southwest to fight, also suffered heavy losses. The 110,000 troops, in just about ten days, were beaten by the Northwest rebels and lost their helmets and armor. Not only did the battle damage reach 7. Ten thousand people, even the commander of the army, He Baili, died in this battle, and originally still controlled the Rusty area in the hands of the empire. And because half of the battle was lost, the battle turned sharply.
This news, like a rock falling into the water, immediately caused an uproar in the entire Gaul army
The Viking Falcon in the northwest has once again become famous, surpassing the Slavs who wreak havoc in the northern part of the empire. It has become the hottest topic in Gaul Kyoto. At the age of twenty-five years old, with a huge army of enemies, it is invincible and invincible. This rising power suddenly appeared in the northwest in just six months. Almost swallowed the empire’s nearly 300,000 troops, leading to the already declining Gaul Empire, becoming more and more stretched in terms of military strength
His Majesty the emperor summoned Lada Pisso, the undersecretary of the military department, in the first place, and the officers of the Gallic military, members of the royal family, were eagerly inquiring about all news related to the Northwest in Kyoto. 20 Vangaul's army has fallen on the northwestern rebels! Since the battle between the two heroes sixty years ago, Gaul has not suffered such a large loss for a long time. Even in the previous war with the Chinese and the Belarusians, the number of people lost in the battle was only 150,000, with 200,000 troops. ! That is not a regional dispute, but a battle between empires and empires
No one can believe that this is true, whether it is a series of news from the western part of the empire, or the unanimous silence of the Ministry of Imperial Affairs on this matter, it really shows its truth xìng
The current generals of the Gaul Military Affairs Department have been busy. The Eighth Army collapsed, and the Sixth Army dúlì supported the Western War. The Eighth Army collapsed too suddenly. No matter how clever it is, no matter how experienced it is, No matter how imaginative the imperial general, holding a map of the combat situation at the time in his hand, looking at the comparison of the forces of the two sides, he can calculate a result close to the truth from the deduction.
It's incredible, everyone who has reviewed the report thinks so,
But when they changed their thinking from Hebaili’s perspective, one by one, they would feel that if they were Hebaili, in the unknown situation where the two main infantry regiments were continuously maimed by large-scale cavalry raids. , In order to avoid the enemy’s edge and try to reduce losses, it will also issue orders to strengthen defenses and not to fight at will,
The other party suspected that they took advantage of this. The other party’s marching into Tai is like a bolt of lightning across the sky.
In just 11 days in which everyone reacted, he launched a precise and very effective cutting tactic on the Eighth Army. It was like a big one, completely living in the Eighth Army, and then beheaded with a single knife. Just like a thousand horses, a sword took the head of an enemy commander.
I have never encountered such a fierce enemy. When all the arrangements were inferred, all the Gaul generals had cold sweats on their foreheads. Such a tactic has never been encountered before, and it is neither an orthodox corps face-to-face confrontation. It is not the usual harassment and destruction, but a conspiracy that people cannot defend against,
The reorganized army of 110,000 people was sifted by the cavalry of the opposing party. Because of fear, they were all nailed to the spot. It was so dazed by the enemy that only 10,000 people were used. The core position of the 100,000 army has taken the headquarters of the entire army!
Everyone’s feeling is like seeing a porcupine from the combat map. With a stab, he rushed into the forest and slapped the tiger. Taking advantage of the tiger’s stupefaction, the porcupine turned into a lion and went straight to it. Turning over the tiger, it is really too much change, first virtual and then real, like a phantom-like attack, suddenly revealed a killer blow, it is really dazzling! After only ten days of effort, the main corps of the empire of 100,000 people was wiped out, and the Ministry of Military Affairs held a meeting overnight. Urgently issued an order to send reinforcements to the area near Rusty,
His Majesty the Emperor also gave an order to grant the post of Commander-in-Chief of Hasenland Polasti of the Sixth Army. As long as Hasenrambo needs, resources and patients in the entire Rusty area can be deployed at will, in order to support the tense situation in Rusty area as much as possible,
In order to dispatch, the staff officers of the Military Affairs Department became red eyes one by one, and the transfer orders were issued like flowing water. The local garrisons in various places began to continuously pull towards the Rusty area. It is undeniable that the rule of the Gaul Empire for more than 300 years is extraordinary. With all mobilization, the number of local troops is very objective
After all, it is also a great empire that has ruled the northern part of Obaro for more than a hundred years. Once it is really functioning, the war potential it shows is very amazing. The local army received the order has 11 infantry regiments. The combat effectiveness is not very good, and the number of people is uneven, but the main point is that the number is large enough. You are ten thousand, and I have five thousand. It is very important to form a considerable force in the Rusty area.
Everyone can feel that this northwest counter-rebellion is evolving into a huge storm that shakes the entire western part of the empire. First, the northwest is out of the control of the empire, then the southwest, and now it is Rusty. In just two months, the empire lost its army and strength in the west. It took a hundred years to accumulate,
One-fifth area of the empire is being separated from the empire. This situation is no longer dangerous to describe. All the Gaul soldiers are paying attention to the western part of the empire. Everyone can faintly feel that it is related to Gaul. The decisive battle of the century-old national destiny is coming
"Your Majesty, Rusty Urgent Military Report!" A carriage enclave drove into the side yard, a royal guard officer jumped off, the officers on the scene nodded, and then strode towards the corridor to stare His Majesty the emperor with strokes walked.
"It's the Rusty area again, I hope it won't get worse!"
The generals' gaze followed the guard officer into the corridor. The young figure standing still in front of the mural with his hands on his back has gathered too many eyes at this moment. The war in the west has already shaken the country. His every move will represent the destiny of thousands of creatures. The generals knew that there would be a counterattack on the side of Rusty. His Majesty the Emperor even came here one more time for this. His Majesty wants to pray here for the war ahead
"How?" The young emperor felt the officer's arrival, looked away from the mural, and turned around.
"Your Majesty, there has been a famine riot in the Rusty area, which has now spread to five cities. Master Hasenrambo believes that if there is not enough food delivered, these areas will eventually evolve into full-scale riots!" The officer stood upright, and the **** replied solemnly
"Rebellion? It's really surprising!" The young emperor picked up the report, glanced at it, and muttered to himself somewhat solemnly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"There are so many people!" A black carriage was traveling on the road, and the fat man put his hands on the curtain of the car, looking through the car to see the scene outside, and thousands of hungry people walked along. The road drained more than a dozen miles, because there were too many hungry people. Even a carriage guarded by fifty guards and cavalry was delayed for an entire hour at the city gate before entering the inner city. These areas where there are more hungry people. , Are all urban areas that have just been taken over,
The boundary between the two parties is not specifically defined. It was originally an area of war. The lines of defense on both sides are intertwined. In the Rusty area controlled by the Falcons, the number of hungry people is also increasing sharply. This expected storm, Instead, it accidentally interrupted the tension between the two sides. A large number of hungry people blocked the road, leaving both sides unable to do it. The Sixth Army took the opportunity to make up for the defects in the line of defense, and the Falcons also had to do the same. Stop preparing to launch an offensive
Through this gap, Fatty decided to meet with representatives of the local forces. Although the army is strong, the control time is too short. In addition, if you want to suppress the occupied area in a short period of time, you can reduce the conflicts as much as possible. Combination is an inevitable way. Facts have also proved that at any time, local forces developed on the basis of the local area are like a wall of grass, and with the presence of a business alliance, it is very willing to surrender to the Falcon Empire.
Wallet, the leading figure of the local forces, is waiting for the arrival of the fat man in the government affairs hall in the city. There are more than a dozen people like him. Most of them know each other. After looking at each other, everyone Very tacitly kept silent
As a Gaul noble with the status of a viscount, Wallette's appearance is not at all in touch with the noble, and his fat body is 1.9 meters tall. Sitting on the sofa is like a mountain bear wearing a mane, with very thin eyes. If you don't look hard, you can hardly see where his pupils are. It gives people a sense of knowing the details. He has been waiting for the other party for 2 hours in the government affairs office. This is something that has never happened before. Even before, no one has treated him so arrogantly
But at this moment, he dared not show any impatience, Vicia Falcon. The emperor of Xing’s Falcon Empire, such a character, can feel trembling even if he thinks about it, and he can be received by the hero who has just defeated the Gaul Empire. Walllet can already foresee what it will be like. His future is waiting for him. The other party needs someone who can assist him in ruling, and he also needs a big tree. This time, he is approached by a deacon of the business alliance. Mainly responsible for the affairs of the northwest coast, only those who have really come into contact with the power of the business alliance will know how powerful this alliance is. Walllet almost agreed to such a request without hesitation
Others are roughly the same as him. In the eyes of underground time, there are only interests, instead of paying much attention to the concept of the country. The Falcon Army was crushed strongly, and the Gaul army was crushed like a mountain. Isn’t the local power experiencing the turmoil of blood and blood? Under the thunder of the army, Shunchang rebelled against it
The carriage stopped at the gate of the interior hall. The fat man got off the carriage and raised his head. A cool, slightly damp breeze rushed over, and took a deep breath. The mind was clear. The guard cavalry who was accompanying stopped the horse, and the sentry was lined up from the steps of the interior hall, densely packed. jǐng watched everything around him warily.
Fatty rarely walked up the steps wearing heavy armor. He had long heard that the Falcon Army was now called "Devil Army" by the Gauls. For such a name, Fatty didn't mind at all, the Demon King on him. The armor is also full of blood and violence from top to bottom. The armor pieces are all made of jīng steel, with a gloomy luster shining in the pitch black.
"Your Majesty!" The two captains of the guards, each with their cavalry, knelt down on one knee at the entrance of the interior hall,
"Are you all ready?" The Fatty asked coldly.
"Everyone has arrived!" The captain of the guard replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty’s breakfast is also ready!"
"Bring those people here. I don't have much time. I'm seeing them at breakfast!" The fat man thought for a moment, strode into the door, and casually added "Licante wine!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard nodded quickly and quickly turned away.
The place where the fat man eats breakfast is in a Guangping area of the Government Affairs Office, because there are too many people to meet. In addition to local figures, there are also some regional lords in the Rusty region, who are directly under the jurisdiction of the Gaul emperor. In the region, the strength of these lords is not strong, at most they are considered to be the manor level. The main task is not to fight, but to manage, to help the emperor of Gaul manage his own industry. This is a product of a system unique to Gaul, slaves. In the Gaul Empire, the emperor also had his own slaves. These slaves worked in the emperor’s own manor, so imperial property and inner court property were completely different.
The first thing Fatty saw were these manor owners. Although their status was low, they belonged to the Gaul emperor. These manor owners were caught in a cell by the Falcon soldiers before they were relieved from the horror of the war. After being driven out for several days, hundreds of people were crushed in darkness. Kneeling on the muddy ground, 20 cavalry guards wearing armor and holding weapons, patrolling around them on horseback, burning on the grass tens of meters away. With a raging bonfire,
The fat man took a sip of wine in silence. The red wine is very reminiscent. The fat man can see the private property belonging to the emperor of Gaul trembling.
"I hope there will be no models of loyal ministers here!" The fat man waved his hand, feeling a little interesting. These manor owners are a bit troublesome. People who can serve the Gaul emperor, many of them are ~IndoMTL.com~ with the title of agricultural experts, these people gather the agricultural technology of the entire Gaul Empire. Even if they are relatively backward, there are still some places to learn from. After all, the land of Obaro and Ikadiva are still very big. s difference.
"This is your last chance." The fat man looked serious and held up the tall glass and stretched it aside. A captain of the guard immediately picked up the bottle and poured half of it. The bright red wine was like blood." My patience is very limited." The fat man took a sip, and the wine spilled a little at the corner of his mouth. "Now you have two choices, one is to be loyal to the Emperor of Gaul, and the other is to serve me!"
"Yes, yes, we are willing to serve adults." When the fat man heard the words, most people immediately kowtow like a chicken pecking rice, completely ignoring the muddy face, crying bitterly, but there are more than a dozen Personally, with an indifferent expression, this made Fatty’s heart sink slightly. Sure enough, there are still such people. He looked at the dozen or so people who didn’t express anything, and compared the list of five gardeners in his hand. Six agricultural experts!
"Those who are willing can go, someone will take care of you!" The fat man waved his hand with an expression on his face, and most of the people were scattered. The fat man glanced over the dozen or so people who insisted on staying, and there was no sign. , To be continued.
