Power and Empire Chapter 2544: Blood Path

Please enter the text. In the sky, heavy snow is falling, and the whole city is like a white world. Since yesterday afternoon, the west coast has gradually entered a period of heavy snow. In the roaring cold wind, clusters of snowflakes are flying on the surface.

Wearing a thick black coat, the fat man stood on the balcony, his eyes swept across the snow-filled city, and took a deep breath of the cold morning breeze coming across his face. He was quite satisfied with his state during this period of time. As a superior, it is the most stupid to take over everything. Those monarchs who try to use one person to ensure the operation of the country are basically either messed up or died young.

The internal operation of the empire became more stable after most of the complicated government affairs were handed over to professionals from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs operates in accordance with the established rules. Whether it is the normal government operations, material transportation, recruitment and comfort of the empire provinces, or the rescue after each heavy snowfall on the northern grasslands, the entire empire appears to be in order. Rising trend,

Although the empire has been aggressive and military-minded in terms of military performance, in the interior of the empire, it has always adopted a loose rule policy. In addition to commercial and military interventions, the state also intervenes in daily production. The land was allocated to farmers, and the construction of a large area of ​​canals and water networks had an obvious improvement effect on agriculture. The roads of the entire empire were built for the development of commerce. With the rapid expansion of land, the empire was fighting every year. , But never worried about the military rations. The vast tracts of land that were barren in the war became excellent agricultural areas of the empire. After a few years, the footprint of the empire’s welfare brought by the excellent agricultural foundation was also highlighted

A steady stream of various materials transported from the north of the empire flooded into the west coast from the opened routes outside the empire, so that the west coast of the empire, which had just been occupied for two months, not only did not face a food crisis. On the contrary, some grains could be sold into Fei Ze's country at ten times the price, and Fei Ze royal family secretly stored food, Fatty didn't know. It simply ignores it, a large cluster of 300,000 people. Relying on the deductions of a few hundred catties and hundreds of catties, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket. As long as the west coast is blocked by food, it takes less than half a month, and the 300,000 Fezer Wangjun will face the dilemma of no food

The Guardian’s voice came from the door, "Your Majesty, Northwest Army Commander Crolitsat, please see me"

"Let him in." The fat man didn't turn around, as if he had expected Crolitsart to come, he just answered plainly. With the sound of footsteps, Crolitha looked excited, still holding a copy of the battle report just received in her hand, walked into the door of the office, her footsteps suddenly stopped, and reported "Your Majesty, just received a news."

"The noble army attacked Merlot, right?" The fat man said casually

"This...it is true" Crolitsat stood there stupidly as if she had tapped her acupuncture points.

"I already knew about this news." The fat man turned around calmly, and behind him was the spire of the city filled with morning mist. A gust of wind blows by, the fog disperses like a miracle, and the huge urban community shows the front

"No way. This news has just been received." Crolitsat's eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart was shocked, and even her words trembled. It was too shocking, even though it was already in her heart. The emperor regards His Majesty as a non-human in the depths, but every time he is still scared

Two days ago, Crolitsart reported that the army was assembled and when they could move in. The fat man raised his head and looked at the map on the wall casually. Just to say a word, the Guidu Army arrived at Merlot. It was the moment when the war started, "The word Merlot is so deeply in the mind of Croli Shasat. I immediately call in the intelligence officer and give the order to death." No matter what method you take, I must be bitten. The movement of the noble army, "It’s no wonder that Crolitsat will explain this way. In fact, after the noble army breaks through the blue valley, it is like a wild horse that has broken away from the rein and is going around in the capital of Fezer. Although the king is temporarily ignoring the noble army. , But the aristocratic army wanted to go north, but still did not dare to collide with the royal army too much, so it was just surrounding the circle outside the royal capital area. Just this morning, an urgent report showed that the aristocratic army suddenly changed its march after midnight yesterday. Route, hit the city of Merlot in one breath,

This secret report was sent out in the middle of the night, and Crolithat was able to receive it in the early morning. In this era, it’s incredible to be able to deliver the information so quickly, but Crolithat hasn’t I thought that the emperor knew the news even faster than himself!

"Is it weird? As an empire general, how can you still be so frizzy"

The fat man glared at Crolitsart coldly, then snorted and said, "Forgot about Azshara's news yesterday? Gan Kefu led the 200,000 king army to attack Azshara suddenly. Easy defense, almost collapsed under the opponent's strong attack. Starting at noon yesterday, King Fazer invested all his troops and attacked Azshara in one breath for more than eleven hours. Azshara desperately defended the fortress, but The losses were heavy. Three of the four outer pillars were conquered, and the periphery was almost lost. The battle lost more than 15,000 people in one day. Not to mention the loss of a quarter of the troops, the whole family was exhausted and finally stood up. The morale of the army was almost wiped out in this continuous attack. Lighter said in the report that if there is no change, the Fortress of Azshara may not last until the early hours of the third day."

"I saw this report, too." Crolitsat took a deep breath in amazement. Azshara is also the focus of his attention. According to the battle set by King Fazer at the beginning, I can see that the veteran Gan Kefu is planning to slowly eat away,

This kind of trapped beast tactic is like cutting through the **** mouth of the opponent with a sharp blade. As time goes by, the target will become weaker and weaker. You only need to wait until the defender is completely exhausted. Use strong forces to find a point to start a breakthrough battle. In tactics, there is no slight mistake. After all, not all armies have Emperor's crossbow heavy artillery. In many cases, traditional methods of siege are still used to consume the physical strength of the guards. The common method is that after any unit has been consumed for *days, its combat power will decrease. At this time, the opponent’s final blow to replenish its energy is basically that there is no room for resistance.

However, Gan Kefu attacked on the sixth day, and the whole army was still overwhelming. For eleven hours of continuous siege, Azshara’s defenders lost more than 15,000, and Gan Kefu’s troops would not be less than this number. Give up the advantage of hoarding for a few days, and instead want to break the fortress in one fell swoop. Crolitsat could not understand, but what does this have to do with the entry of the noble army into Merlot!

"Do you know why I said Merlot?" The fat man smiled bitterly. Because of his own conditions, Crolithart can only be regarded as a titan, not a military who can be alone. General, the fat man saw this when he was stationed at Paral,

Paral battle. As a garrison general, at the beginning of the war, Crolitsat was cut off from his own troops because of unauthorized actions. The defense of the Northwest Army was even more chaotic. Under a sudden attack, he almost lost Paravin. In the Battle of Aaron, although the Northwest Army tried its best to restore its reputation, the results were still not many. These two battles. The fat guys let go. The Northwest Army, originally known as the strongest in the empire, performed very disappointing. This is also the reason why Fatty hasn't mobilized the Northwest Army for more than a year. The Northwest Army can become a powerful force to siege the city under its own command, but if left alone, it is at best better than the average army! In addition to part of the psychological reasons, Crolitsart's lack of a general view of the general situation also accounts for a big reason.

I have pointed out Merlot, but Crolitsat still can’t comprehend it,

If Crolithat can pay more attention to the overall situation, it is not difficult to see. Merlot is the only way for the noble army to escape north, and the noble army wants to escape north. It needs a large amount of materials, and it is the most important town closest to the periphery. It’s Merlot, but similarly, Merlot is one of the capital hoarding resources in the capital, and the distance to King Fazer’s capital is less than a hundred miles. If it is a very fast light cavalry unit, it will last a day and a night. It is possible to suppress the capital city. The noble army has penetrated the barrier line of Kuredia. Although Kuredia has reorganized the army, it has lost nearly half of its strength. King Fazer must have known the nobles in advance. The news that the army is about to attack Merlot, because the 200,000 main force of the king's army was dragged in the direction of Azshara, the direction of the king's capital, and now it is a force gap. If the noble army rashly attacks, what will the king's block be, except forcing Gan Kefu What else can I do with the aid?

"In order to avoid turning around and being attacked, Gan Kefu may finally order a 200,000 army to attack continuously, hoping to defeat Azshara first, even if it can't be defeated, at least he can stop Lytle and avoid being chased by the opponent! "

The fat man suddenly raised his hand to the map hanging on the wall, and said in a condensed voice to Crolithat behind him, "Gan Kefu has spent so much energy, but in the end he has to choose to fight! If nothing happens, Today, Gan Kefu will attack fiercely, and then start to retreat at night. This is a golden opportunity for us. Since it is going to go to war, it is naturally best to hit the opponent's throat with one stroke. The 200,000 Fei Ze king army, It is the throat of the Fazer royal family and the capital of all the ambitions of the Fazer royal family"

"There are four routes from Azshara back to the royal capital. How can we confirm which one is?" Crolithat clenched his palms, opened bloodshot eyes, and swallowed hard. The fat man is really too sinister. The Royal Family of Fazer has only 300,000 capital left, and another 200,000 is crossed out. Even if the Royal Family of Fazer is not painful, it is basically finished. This blow of the emperor. , Will completely cut off the pillar beams of this mansion of the Fazer royal family! The final result of the turmoil for almost half a year was nailed to his desk with a single blow! "As long as you understand, which way can be the fastest to return to the royal capital, Gan Kefu's 200,000 army is basically that way. "The fat man glanced across the map on the wall and grinned slightly, looking a little scared." If you don’t do it, you want to make it bigger. This heavy snow will make it difficult for Gan Kefu’s 200,000 people to march, but for our army, it is a rare good weather. We can wait for him halfway! Just take Gan Kefu. The 200,000 king army was defeated, and everything in the back will be easy!"

When I heard the fat man say that the weather is good, Crolithat’s mouth opened up. Yeah, I didn’t expect it. It’s really good weather. It’s been snowing all night. , The snow on the streets has already reached the ankles, the snow in the wild is thicker, and some have reached the calves,

The field march in this kind of weather is a very cruel thing for soldiers wearing metal armor. Not only does it take at least twice the time and physical strength, but also thinks that they will be exposed to the cold for a long time. In the wind, it is easy to freeze limbs,

For the Emperor * team, it has an amazing number of horses for transportation. It only needs to modify the carriage for a little bit to become a pulley for transporting soldiers. The pulley is covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth. Blocking the cold wind, the Northwest Army has been stationed in Gaul for almost a year. The snow carriages of the Imperial Army in winter are quite familiar. Not only officers and soldiers, they are familiar with this very convenient means of transportation in Gaul in winter. With experience, even Crolitsart himself owns several winter sleds pulled by precious hounds. Crolitsart, who is a hunter, likes to drive this sled with hounds and hunt winter foxes in Yan Sen in winter.

The snow-covered land, the violent wild wind swept across like a brush, and the white snow foam that was raised up in layers was blown and tumbling like it was touching wool, hitting Faze in pieces in pieces. On the body of the soldiers of the Wang Jun, there were several long dragons that could not be seen in the cold wind.

A team of more than 100,000 people moved in the dark, the torches were blown by the cold wind, and the metal armor and stinging guns could not see the end in the dark. Going in through the crevices of the cold helmets are the tired faces of the soldiers,

"Tell the people in front~IndoMTL.com~ that the speed must be increased and must be rushed to La Horace forty miles before dawn to fix it." The veteran Gan Kefu stopped his horse, his head and shoulders were covered with snow. There was even freezing ice on his eyebrows, and he sprayed a breath of heat toward his frozen hands, shouting loudly to more than a dozen cavalry behind him, their horses hooves stepped on the ground completely covered with thick snow and immediately fell into

"My lord, some long ditches were found in front, and the road was cut off! The goods and carriages are all sunk inside." A messenger cavalry came from the front.

"Immediately organize people to fill the ditch." Gan Kefu held the horse whip tightly, took a deep breath, and the cold snow flakes hit his face, making him realize that the snow seemed to be bigger! The sound of the rushing snow splashing on the iron plate of the armor, although part of Azshara’s side was broken, there are still nearly 200,000 people. The snow is flying, everyone can only bury their heads and move forward in silence. This snowstorm is even more tragic. In order to allow the carriages to pass through, people are constantly digging on the road. The condensed soil layer in the cold winter is not so fun. All kinds of tools are used to push and push. Pushing the carriage over, the fierce attack on Azshara in two days, seeing that persisting for a day, may be able to win Azshara, but the king's side issued seven retreat orders in a day, and finally forced Gan Kefu to lead the army to retreat. , (To be continued.)
