Power and Empire Chapter 2325: Wind up (13)

The sound of the rain falling on the top of the tent went straight into the account, which made Fatty's heart a little more annoying. He leaned on a camp bed, took off his boots, and immersed himself in the statistics report that he had just sent. Please go to the Sirius Mansion to recover from your injury, which is equivalent to completely handing over the command of the Eastern Court Department. It seems that those words of yours have played a role, giving up unrealistic ambitions, and honestly packing up your mood to become an imperial princess.

But the troops in the Eastern Court were indeed a bit miserable this time. More than 28,000 people were killed in the battle. The wounded were removed and sent to the Sirius Mansion for training. The remaining troops were less than 15,000. The cavalry of the Eastern and Western Courts was originally the main force in the empire's battle against the grassland, but now that the war has not started, the empire has lost a powerful arm.

In terms of the situation, because of the defeat of this battle, the empire's battle situation suddenly changed from active to passive. Not only the previous advantages were lost, but also the attitude of Dongting, who had a close agreement with the empire. I'm afraid there will be some fluctuations. The rightist was originally a two-sided play. On the one hand, he used the East Court to contain the empire, and on the other hand, he used the empire to deter the East Court.

What you play is to fish in troubled waters between the two forces to get the advantage of cheapness,

If the deterrence of the empire ceases, the right-hand will not be that easy to talk. The right-hand will not come with a group of old and weak women and children, but the eastern court with a strength of 60,000. One of the Eighth Army, Shirakawa’s pro-army, according to intelligence, is the guard corps that guards the royal court all year round. In terms of war, it is powerful enough to rank among the top three in the eastern court army, and even hit the eastern court severely. Above the Lei Jun of the army, after the death of King Dongting, the three princes hurriedly swung their troops south. The guards who stayed behind in the royal court gradually turned into a rightist military force by various means of the right. This time, under the banner of stabilizing the west, he came all the way murderously from the Baihe where the king's court is located, and moved to five hundred Leonards.

For more than ten days, there is no intention to send someone to contact here. Obviously, I want to wait and see. The swing of the Dongting rightist made the situation a little difficult to control. Is it to fight? Still not playing? Fatty really wanted to send someone to contact him once, but since Lei Jun withdrew into Onner, he has tightly sealed the way he entered. In order to avoid exposing the existence of the secret covenant, Fatty could only hold back this idea temporarily. He believes that the internal conflicts in the East Court will allow the rightist to make a decision. Cooperation with the Empire is the only way out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Murphy Obion, please see me!" The guard's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Please come in!" The fat man put down the report in his hand, rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, raised his head and saw Murphy Obern unveil the curtain of the tent, and walked in eagerly, still carrying Rain

"What's wrong?" The fat man was a little curious. Murphy Obern is a pure Gaul soldier, and he usually walks and does things with a strong military spirit, but today, he actually saw a trace of panic from Murphy Obern

"The spy that I sent to sneak into the wrong side of Hone has just returned a bad news. Although it has not been fully confirmed, I think it is better to report to your Majesty immediately!" Murphy O'Brien's face After hesitating, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, crumpled. There are still sludge residues on it. It really seems to be very urgent, so that Murphy O'Born ran up as soon as he got it.

"Well? What news?"

The fat man looked at Murphy O'Brien's nervous face. I stretched out my hand and took the cloth strip. I felt that it might be really troublesome. Murphy Obern is a brave general named Gaul. He is not a person who loses his square in a small matter. When his eyes are swept, the calm face of the fat man also changed. After a change, I took a deep breath and asked, "Can this news be confirmed?" It should be possible, but it will take some time, and this is what I am worried about. I am afraid ... "Murphy O'Brien has a hesitant look on his face." Do you think that if the situation is true, the enemy will choose to attack early? "The fat man stood up with a solemn face, holding the vital piece of cloth in his hand, and walking a few steps back and forth. The news came so suddenly, even the fat man was a bit embarrassed. The prairie people are scattered and impermanent, and the forces are gathering. You can fight, but you can’t chase it when you disperse. Therefore, it is difficult to figure out what is true. Fortunately, Murphy Aubun has managed the Sirius Mansion for more than half a year and has gathered many prairie people who originally belonged to the East Court. Under the exhibition, it can be considered to have obtained the allegiance of some tribes, so it can send people to sneak into the Onnacu area to investigate intelligence,

The population flow on the grassland is very large. The herders graze by grass. Fortunately, it is the season of winter and spring. The tribes gathered in winter for the winter have not yet dispersed, so the people who got in got this Intelligence, otherwise I don’t know how I really died,

I have to admit that the news sent back this time was a bit shocking and made the fat man feel troublesome. Lei Jun got a lot of supplements after he withdrew into Hone’s mistake. The recovery of troops is second, mainly because His record of severely injuring the Imperial Army on the edge of Honecuo did not know how it touched the strongest prince in the East Court. He probably thought that Lei Jun gave the second prince a face, and his momentum rose so much that he tried his best to suppress it. One of his own brothers, so this time the East Court had only sent the right-handed Shirakawa army to reinforce the situation. It suddenly became that in addition to the Shirakawa army, the 70,000 wolf cavalry under the command of the prince also followed on. Wrong, it seems to be preparing to capture the Imperial Army again, or simply reclaim the land lost last winter, and push the front line back to the front line of Sirius Mansion.

In other words, in the vaguely five-hundred Leonards swamp in the dark ahead, the troops of the Dongting people are not the estimated one hundred thousand, but a huge cavalry cluster of close to two hundred thousand. Counting the tribal forces recruited there, the genius knows how much it will eventually be. The fangs in the enemy’s huge mouth are clearly visible, and here, the empire’s more than one hundred thousand troops are still in the line from the Yue Valley to the Ona Cuo Swamp. In this case, the 200,000 main cavalry swarms spread out and swarmed into the wilderness. Murphy Obern has not dared to imagine what that picture is. The collapse is still considered good. It’s hard to say that the empire’s control area will be beaten to the long wall in one breath. Two years of hard work and the tragic fight of a hundred thousand army will all be lost.” Your Majesty, the enemy and our forces are very disparity, before the enemy has figured out the details of our army. , Let's evacuate from the wrong area of ​​Onner first! "Murphy O'Brien doesn't know this, he is really anxious. The troops in the East Court are too large, and the goal is obviously to regain the land occupied by the empire last winter. That is where Murphy Obern’s efforts were made, hundreds of miles of the area, if you lose it, you will throw it away, but What can I do without throwing it away? This is an endless wilderness, without any fortress pass, what will the empire use to stop the 200,000 cavalry group? If His Majesty Falcon insists on not retreating, once he waits until the other side finds out the situation, it will be the tragedy of being trapped and killed by the army

"There is no rush to evacuate. Just order the army scouts to release for fifty miles. The whole army is in a state of combat readiness. If the situation is not right, we will leave immediately!" The fat man shook his hand. Fortunately, all the cavalry troops were brought here. , Murphy Aub’s cavalry plus the remaining troops of the Eastern Court, there are more than 30,000 men, enough to deal with various situations,

I saw Murphy Obune and wanted to say it. The fat man waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, "The other party's intention should be to take our army into the Ao Na Cuo Swamp and annihilate it because we don't know it. If our army evacuates hastily, it is equivalent to telling the enemy that our army already knows. When the enemy secretly increases its troops, when the time comes. The opposite party will inevitably send out to chase us down. The Dongting Army and I are not a big problem. Most of your Murphy Army is heavily armored. Facing the swift prairie light cavalry, it will be able to chase after us. How far did we escape? On the contrary, we did not move, pretending to be ignorant, and assumed a posture of pressing forward at any time. In fact, we secretly removed the heavy armor, and the other side stupidly opened the pockets and waited for us to go forward!"

"Yes, the subordinates know what to do!"

Murphy Obern showed a stunned look. It is hundreds of miles away from Sirius Mansion, which can block large-scale cavalry groups. The emperor’s guard cavalry and steppe cavalry are all cavalry with good mobility. I evacuated, but there are still 8,000 heavy armors among my more than 10,000 Murphy cavalry. I can’t lose the heavy armor at the end. Let’s go all the way. Those cavalry heavy armors are all piled up with money. It’s your own. Most of the belongings, without Murphy's Dragon Armor, what is called Murphy's Dragon Cavalry, this cavalry is also useless.

"Go and step up the arrangement. Even if it is a lie, it is estimated that it will not last long. Our time is running out!" The fat man patted Murphy Obern on the shoulder with his hand.

"Yes," Murphy Obern turned around and went away

The fat man turned his back on his back, and carefully checked the topographic map of Onna Co for a long time. This was presented by the Qiyeguang of Yelu on that day to strengthen its persuasiveness. From the map, it is worthy of the western part of Dongting Grassland. The gateway, the important land that connects the east-west corridor, the entire marshland has no mountains, only two y-shaped intersecting rivers traverse, forming the main water source of the marsh area, that is, basically, in this season, the Onna Co area The tribe and army should be in these two river areas,

"Three days, if there is no news after three days, then only really evacuate!" The fat man rubbed his frozen hands. At this time, the heavy rain outside the tent stopped, the temperature rose a little, and the tent was full of The unpleasant tidal moisture and the light flashing in the brazier made the shadow he cast on the tabernacle magnified several times, thick as a mountain

The turning point of the situation came the next morning. Murphy O'Born found Fatty with an arrow that was obviously a prairie man. The top of the arrow cluster was tightly tied with a string.

"Your Majesty, this was discovered by the night watchman last night!"

"Leave it there!" The fat man nodded, stopped his pen, raised his head and asked, "How is the situation?"

Murphy Obern looked like he was in front of the battle, with a cloak behind him, and his body armor, all covered with mud marks. It seems that he has replaced the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry with light armor as instructed, and smiled triumphantly. "It has been changed. The armor of the East Court Army is worn. Although the East Court camp has been damaged, the heavy equipment such as ordnance armor has not lost much. There are still light armor equipment for thousands of people, as long as there is no heavy equipment. A dragged down, now no matter how many cavalry chasing, I am confident that I can run away calmly before the opponent pounces."

"That's fine!" The fat man picked up the arrow cluster, took a closer look, took off the wooden tube at the top of the arrow, twisted his fingers gently, poured out a leather roll from the inside, and opened it. , Is a map

"This is?'Murphy Obern was taken aback for a while. In the middle of the night, he sent a map, which is a little weird." It's Hona's wrong map! "The fat man blinked his eyes and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. He pressed the leather roll with a heavy object, and roughly figured out what the other party wanted to do. He took out the map presented by Yelu Qiyueguang and opened it for comparison. It was exactly the same. The difference is that there are a few more markers in some locations on the sent map,

The wolf head should be the wolf sharp army, the lightning should be the Lei army, and the river should be the white river. The layout of the Dongting army in the Onnacu area is clear at a glance. It is really a pocket in the shape of a letter. No wonder that Dongting right There is no news at all! It turned out to be caught in the middle~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that Dongting also has smart people"

The fat man took a look, his eyes flashed and looked at the sky outside the account, and he muttered to himself, because he knew the existence of the secret covenant, his idea was different from that of Murphy Obern. The Great Prince of the East Court had seventy thousand wolves. The sharp cavalry came next to the white river pro-army of the right. It may not be mainly aimed at the imperial army. On the contrary, it is more likely to be directed against the faction of the right. Lei Jun is in front, the wolf Rui army is behind, and the white river pro-army of the right. Even if you want to play tricks, you can’t do it. On the contrary, as long as there are signs of misconduct, you will be cruelly strangled by the two armies. The embarrassment of the rightist at this moment, I am afraid that it is the same as roasting on the fire. It seems that the struggle within the East Court has reached the point where it cannot be delayed. Even if the rightist wants to clear it away, he has already reached the point where he can't get out. "Righter?" Murphy Aub. En was confused. This map was strange, and the fact that his Majesty had an exact map in his hands was even more strange. If you link these two pictures with the markers on the map, Murphy Obern suddenly Feeling sweat oozing from the forehead, and the corners of the eyebrows are twitching, no, it can't be, is it...this arrow was shot by the rightist from the East Court? If this is the case, then this battle is not without a turn for the better. In the 200,000 Dongting Army, the Right Army accounted for 60,000. If this force really has anything to do with your Majesty, let alone whistleblowing, it is at a critical moment. The effect played is enough to reverse the whole situation, this battle can be fought! (To be continued...)
