Power and Empire Chapter 1864: Congo Alliance (3)
Antura, an important town in the north of Gaul, under the warm winter sun, the ice and snow began to melt, and the ice on the branches was crystal clear, reflecting the sunlight and emitting colorful rainbows, like transparent tiles. The colors are shining in the sunset,
Standing on the heights of the city that had been in the hands of the Slavs and Gauls several times, the fat man looked at the last red glow that fell between the ridges in the distance, as if a god’s residence was watching the vicissitudes of the earth. , Sun Sea changed to Sangtian, and there was a light footsteps behind the steps,
Don’t look back, the fat man also knows that it’s his little apprentice, Besukaya, the royal daughter of the Besu clan,
This prince who has become more and more a leader, does not know whether it is due to the blood in the body or what she felt when she returned to the northern cold region this time. She became much more mature than before. If she was a good student before Now there is really a bit of a prince’s temperament. The cold beauty of the plain Saixue has a natural cold temperament. At the age of fifteen, she has begun to show a convincing sacred taste.
The eyes are as clear as water, and the skin can be broken by blows, like ice in the snow, a breathtaking sense of beauty, with long hair hanging down to the waist of a man, with a red scabbard behind him, dressed in cold The local people’s unique long-leg boots made of warm white fox fur, with pretty long legs stopped at the top of the steps,
Bezukaya whispered, "Teacher! Lord Saron just heard the news, and it can be confirmed that the northern Gaul troops were indeed split into two parts because of internal conflicts before the battle."
"Oh, those two parts!"Fatty didn't look back
Sukaya's voice, as crisp as a yellow oriole, stopped, and looked forward with affectionate eyes. The voice was crisp and moving, but with a slight tremor that was not easily detectable. "Part of it was just being caught by Lord Salon in the winter. The remnant army of the Duke Simon of Gaul, who was defeated in the north of the gorge, numbered about 11,000. Because of the loss of Antura, he is now hiding in the wall bridge valley 30 miles away from here, and is now under the army of Lord Salon. Suppressed, the other one was the part that disappeared unexpectedly. Lord Salon could not figure out the specific situation. But it is certain that this Kyoto army has just swallowed more than 40,000 Northern Army of the Northern Commander Simon, with a total strength of nearly 100,000. People, the mountains in the northwest of Antura, with the Tassel Pass as the dividing line, are eyeing Antura, and there is a tendency to counterattack at any time. Lord Saron hopes that your Majesty can be prepared!"
"The Kyoto Army and the Northern Army?"
The fat man withdrew his gaze from a distance and turned around in surprise. She didn’t seem to notice the beauty’s scorching eyes that melted the ice. He took the report in Bezukaya’s hand and looked at it, looking confused and asked, "Who is the leader of the Kyoto reinforcements mentioned in the report? Very familiar. I feel that this style of always sticking a knife behind my own people reminds me of a man in the Gaul army!"
" The report did not say that "Gembe Sukaya's face flashed reddishly, and the corners of his mouth said suddenly." However, according to the captives who surrendered by Antura, the one who led the Kyoto reinforcements this time was recently in Gaul. Tie Lan, the leader of the young and Zhuang faction in Kyoto, has reached 50,000 troops in Kyoto."
"Tilan!"
Hearing this name, the fat man laughed at the corners of his mouth and said, "I just said how familiar it is! It's no wonder that the Northern Gaul troops were defeated in a mess."
Seeing his beautiful little apprentice with a confused expression, the fat man explained, "You don’t know, this Tielan is also an old acquaintance with us, fighting in Rusty. He has done it in order to **** military exploits and kill thousands of people. What happened to all his family members, if it hadn’t been for Hasen Rambo alone to take the responsibility for the defeat in the Battle of Rusty, this scandal would have been exposed long ago, but this guy doesn’t know if it’s because of his background or luck. Others They all suffered depreciation because of the Battle of Rusty. Only he, the first general who fled in the late Battle of Rusty, used this as capital after returning to Kyoto and quickly rose to the top of the Gallic youth group."
"This Tillandsia must be a villain! As far as I know. Only despicable people have such talent" Bezukaya's pretty face is like frost,
"That's not necessarily true. The villain is a villain, but a lucky villain! And in such a chaotic world, many things cannot be seen with fair eyes." The fat man curled his lips slightly. He said indifferently, "Although his skills are not good, his habit of spurring his own people can be regarded as weird. Unexpectedly, the North has become even more aggressive, and directly poached Simon’s 40,000 Northern Army. With such a partner, Simon wants It’s hard not to be defeated! But it just so happens that this guy accidentally saved the situation in the north"
The fat man paused in his voice, looked at the city roads in the city below, and said slowly, "Originally, the capture of Antura means that we have completed the strategic encirclement of northern Gaul. Gaul Kyoto is from the north. The possibility of obtaining support will be completely cut off. For Gaul Kyoto, which has almost relied on northern resources for several months, this is the real cold winter, but now because of the entire Tillan, our strategic plan cannot achieve the goal. , The main force of the northern Gaul army still exists. Tielan’s military power is more than 100,000 and puts on a defensive posture. If we desperately drag us to the north, it will be a very troublesome thing. In general, this time we can only choose to give up the idea of eating the Gaul Northern Army in one bite!"
"Your Majesty said to abandon the north?" Bezukaya blinked her long eyelashes, and a gleam of shock flashed through her beautiful eyes like autumn water.
"No, just give up swallowing the Northern Army! "Fat man waved his hand." In the war, it is normal to change strategy due to changes in the situation. It should have been my Central Army and the Salon Army. After that, like two big iron tongs, the situation in which the Gaul’s 100,000-plus northern troops were suppressed in the middle, now has three rounds,
"It is not good for us to continue entanglement"
The fat man said, "You immediately convey my order to Salon, and don't worry about Tillan for the time being! Tomorrow I will lead the Central Army to join him, and eat one bite of Simon, the Northern General of Gaul, and Tillan. I will send an emissary. That guy is not from the north, so naturally he won't have the consciousness of fighting for the north. As long as he is given a chance, I can guarantee that he will abandon the north immediately!"
"First-line opportunity?"
The fat man looked at the mutilated city wall under the setting sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light flickered, and he said in a cold voice, "Have you seen the city wall in front? There used to be a Slavian flag flying there, Gauls The flag of the Falcon Empire is now flying. The northern part of Gaul is vast. Just wanting to control these areas. It will take more than a month. With the addition of Tillan’s 100,000 troops, our strength seems too great. It’s too much. In that case, we might as well make a way and put this Tillandsia back to Gaul Kyoto!
"Return to Kyoto. The power of Kyoto is not stronger!" Bezukaya is a little puzzled
"The internal unity is not united, the greater the strength, it is not a good thing!" The fat man curled his lips slightly and said disdainfully." Gaul Kyoto has just taken back the wall rock fort and is celebrating in full, and the new military secretary Derek is even more so. I was greatly praised. I have a lot of plans to establish a defense line in the wall rock fort. If at this time, Tielan brings more than 100,000 troops to Beijing,
One is in full swing, but in fact it is just a puppet, without even 10,000 troops in his hands, and the other returns in embarrassment. But there are more than 100,000 legions that obey its orders. You can think about what the situation would be! "
"Yes, teacher, I understand!"
Bezukaya nodded, raised her pretty face, and the beauty took a deep look at the man's generous back that seemed to be able to support everything not far away, and resisted the urge to hold her back inside, she In his mind, he remembered a large-scale ritual activity called "Winter God Hunting" in the cold northern region,
At that time, it was passed down from the customs of the Austin people by the sea,
Since it is named "Winter God Hunter", it is naturally hunting the real Winter God. The so-called Winter God only means one thing in the northern cold region. Dragon Whale, the bloodthirsty and ferocious cold region overlord, although not huge in size. But I like to hide under the glacier to catch real beasts that feed on prey from the glacier,
In the northern cold region, the dragon whale is definitely ranked number one, and it has sword-like teeth and lives in groups. In the northern cold region, more than 1,000 cold people die in the mouth of the dragon whale every year. The cold people are full of resentment towards this animal. The cold people regard the hunting of dragon whales as one of the highest honors. Therefore, at the end of the " " of the sacrificial offering, it is necessary for the people of the clan to participate in the sacrifice of tens of thousands of people. Face, kill a real dragon whale,
But it is very difficult to catch this beast under the ice layer alive, there is almost no way during the day,
Because dragon whales are active, only at night, hunters in cold regions will release specially trained packs of winter wolves that have been stocked for a winter. Each pack of 30 wolves, driven by torches, can smell under the ice. The winter wolf with the smell of dragon whales will follow the edge of the ice and quickly find the location where the dragon whales are lurking.
In the dark night, the sight of the dragon whale is equal to zero,
The wolves will jump into the ice, bite and rest under the ice. At night, there are almost blind dragon whales.
Dragon whales are usually crowded together in groups of four or five. They are attacked in the dark. Under normal circumstances, the panicked dragon whales will treat all surrounding objects as enemies. The dragon whales will kill the big ones in the entanglement. Part of the winter wolves then began to kill each other. The last survivors were often wounded all over and eventually floated to the ice due to exhaustion. At this time, the hunters who had been waiting on it would drag the dragon whale with a huge harpoon. Coming up, and now, I don't know why, Bezukaya feels that Gaul Kyoto is the dragon whale that is about to start killing each other, and his teacher is a hunter standing proudly on the ice with a huge harpoon!
In the early morning, the sun has not yet come out, and the northern land is filled with white mist,
Blowed by the cold mountain wind, above the earth, like a flowing white band around the long and narrow highland in front, a black goshawk flies across the tile-blue sky, and the spreading wings are covered with snow. In the vast mountains, the cold wind was blowing over the hills in front, and a faint rumbling sound came from the other end of the hills, and the heavy hoofs of the warhorses hit the hard snow-capped frozen soil.
"What's the situation?" The Bi Danjun soldiers who were cooking food with snow water in the early morning stood up, and they raised their heads in the direction where the sound came from. They saw a black line appearing on the edge of the white mound in the distance. "Papa" the heavy horseshoe shook the snow layer below,
Soon, in the cold wind, behind the cavalry, a battle flag and hunting infantry cluster appeared,
"Attention, the enemy attack!"
I don’t know who yelled, and the whole camp was in chaos. Duke Simon, who was awakened by the soldiers running in a panic, crawled out of the simple camp tent in embarrassment, and saw the situation outside suddenly became stunned. It was too chaotic. Soldiers They are all running away, even if the supervising team is stuck in the road and shouting that they are not allowed to run. To no avail
"What's the matter, what's the matter! Duke Simon ran over in desperation, just in time to supervise the team to catch a running soldier
"Big... Your lord, the Falcons are coming!" The soldier looked at the sharp swords of the Duke Simon and the supervising team around him, his faces paled. The voice trembling replied
"Falcon Army!" Duke Simon was already phobic about this word, and he shuddered. He looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and saw a black army aggressively in the distance. Line up, "Asshole. Line up, ready to fight!" Duke Simon pulled out his Pei angrily and shouted. The soldiers began to line up in a mess. Archers climbed up the wooden arrow tower outside the barracks and raised his hands. Gaul bow. Looking hesitantly outside,
"Swish" a white line shot from a distance, firmly inserted into the wooden wall outside the camp, with a letter tied to the swaying arrow tail. A guard carefully removed the letter from the wooden wall. After taking a look, he ran to Duke Simon in a panic, hesitated and said, "My lord. The other side asks us to surrender! Otherwise, we will all be annihilated!"
"Nonsense, there are only 30,000 people on the opposite side, and we now have 15,000 people, and there is a solid periphery. I don't believe it. The other party also wants to catch us by surprise like Winter Valley!" Although Duke Simon is pedantic, but But he is a man of noble standards. He angrily threw the letter of persuasion at his feet and shouted to the surroundings.
"Don’t be afraid, everyone, the opponent’s strength is not dominant. As long as we can persist, reinforcements will come soon..." Just as Duke Simon was speaking loudly, he suddenly heard one. A strange sound of breaking through the air,
"Attention, the arrow strikes." The peripheral sentry made a hysterical shout. The situation that had just settled down immediately became chaotic again. The soldiers went everywhere looking for a place to hide, or looking for shields to seek a ray of life. They fought many times, and the soldiers knew exactly how terrible the Falcon Empire’s arrow attack was. ,
"Papa Papa'"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw that the entire crossbow arrow had hit like a black cloud leaping from the ridge, crossing the outer 2-meter-high wooden fence, overwhelming the sky, and flying clusters of arrows across the white. The arc rained down like a big airtight net.
"Ah"
Although Duke Simon had a shield to protect his important body, he was shot through his right arm by a fallen crossbow arrow. After a mournful cry, he was immediately pressed down by his loyal guards again.
The other soldiers were not as lucky as he was. The dense and excessive crossbow arrows almost covered most of the camp, and the screams of the camp came one after another. The simple camp simply could not cope with the powerful far-reaching attack of the Falcon Army of more than 50,000.
Any place where clusters of arrows pass over the ground is like a swift hurricane sweeping over, and a piece of soldiers will fall quickly. Duke Simon gritted his teeth and pushed away the body of the guard who was pressing on him, and immediately heard all kinds of screams before his death, making the surroundings look like a **** under trial,
"What's the matter, didn't it mean that you can surrender?" Duke Simon was bloodied and completely confused. The other party said that he could negotiate. How could he launch such a terrible attack so shamelessly and immediately!
"Your Majesty, didn't we persuade you to surrender?" Saron looked at the distant scene, and asked the fat man next to him in confusion. The entire row of crossbowmen behind him kept throwing trembling towards the Gaul military camp in the distance. The crossbow arrows, like a large swarm of locusts, burst out from the far edge of the horizon, moving down quickly in the sky
"I persuaded, didn't the other party not surrender? Then the offense is in order!" The fat man rolled his eyes immediately, patted his whip, persuaded him to surrender, what a joke, if the chicken really surrendered, How could he kill the monkey at Tie Lan? Ten minutes later, the fat man raised his hand. The opponent's force was only 11,000, so continuing to shoot arrows would only cause waste.
"Stop shooting!" The crossbow captains communicated one by one, and the dense rain of arrows stopped. Just now, the Gaul camp where the camp was full of people was running around, like a large piece cut off by a brush. Cheese cake,
The bright red and plump cream inside is exposed~IndoMTL.com~The bright red human blood dyes the camp area into a shocking red. The blood melts the snow layer and gathers in a trickle among the rocks, following the fragments under your feet. The stone flowed down, and Bi Dan’s more than 10,000 soldiers, under the fierce blow just now, carried their heads everywhere, and they were swarmed by arrows several times more than them. They firmly fixed their bodies to the ground. They were able to withstand this blow. Fewer than 4,000 soldiers survived, most of them were wounded, and have completely lost the ability to resist.
"You can go to take over! Now is the real acceptance of surrender. We must let Tie Lan know the consequences of making us lose patience" the fat man said to the somewhat stupid Saron next to him,
In terms of Tielan, the feeling of holding one hundred thousand soldiers made this Kyoto nobleman full of ambition and greed. He is planning to fight the Falcon Army in the north with one hundred thousand and thirty thousand. No matter how you look at it, he takes advantage Of,
But a letter sent by the Falcons made his blazing ambitions like he was splashed with ice water,
Vickia Falcon has arrived in the north of Gaul! Following this, there will be as many as fifty thousand of the most elite Central Army! Although I’m not sure if the other party was deliberately trying to Kuang himself, but Tielan didn’t dare to go out to verify if he was killed.
He gave the order to stick to it, completely ignoring the embarrassing situation of Simon Bi Dan with only about 10,000 people
