Power and Empire Chapter 1309: The Battle of Dongjin (5)

"This... is a personal recommendation!" Presnafa was full of sweat on his head when the young man glanced at it, and said embarrassingly, "If it is a family recommendation, it would not be my turn at all. The family is not enough to speak for a barbarian! It’s just a personal relationship. "Oh, is your Excellency connected with the Falcon Kingdom?" The young man’s eyes lightened up and asked in a calm tone. To be honest, the Falcon Kingdom is me. The major customers of Northwest China, two-thirds of the entire Northwest China’s overseas trade comes from the Falcon Kingdom. "Presnafa raised his eyebrows and said without comment, "In just the first two months, the Northwest China’s trade quota has reached 400,000 gold coins." This used to be a one-year trading quota. You also know that foreigners like us must show sufficient ability if they want to have the opportunity to return to Kyoto. If the Falcon Kingdom becomes a new town The governor of the region, then the trade quota will inevitably be expanded..

"7 months will be the time for the family's annual assessment. If everything goes well, I should be able to transfer back to Kyoto! Otherwise, I will have to wait until 3 years later. Who knows what happened at that time?"

"That's what you say!" The young **** sè nodded with emotion. Both are rich in Kyoto. Who doesn't know who knows the details, don't look at Pres Nafa as Finance Minister Pres. Kurt’s younger brother, but as a highly competitive son of a wealthy family, unless you are lucky enough to be the heir of the family, you will be sent to the family’s foreign city after the age of 24.

Assessed every three years, talents who can overwhelm other enclaves are eligible to be transferred back. There are countless people who have died of old enclaves in other places. Of course, there are also examples of being transferred to places after returning, just like Zhuli who is in charge of Northwest Raiders. Fort Elfort, once again left Kyoto to transfer to the region, was already the deputy commander of the Fifth Army of the Empire, representing the family's interests in the empire, and became the real power figure in actual control of one party. However, in 2 years, he took over as the commander of the Fifth Army from his predecessor, which is naturally the result of family support..

"Returning to Kyoto is the dream of a wealthy boy like us. Next year, I will also be transferred to the outer territories!" The young man sighed deeply, looked across the distant sky, and said, "But you I am afraid that there are some problems with the method of the empire. In addition to the recommendation of the Kyoto family, the regional governor must also have sufficient prestige in the region. As a new regional power, the Falcon Kingdom has no prestige at all. I recommend it, I'm afraid that the entire northwest coast will express a strong voice of dissatisfaction! This will also affect the family's prestige in the northwest region, so I can't agree to your proposal!"

"The northwest coast is now full of wind and wind, and the war will start as soon as the war begins. I believe there will be a result soon!" Presnafa smiled disapprovingly. God sè ridiculed himself and said a word

"Quickly? How quickly? You are very confident in the final victory of the Falcon Kingdom!" The young **** sè glanced at Presnafa in surprise, wondering where the opponent's so strong confidence came from. "It's nothing, just an intuition!"

Presnafa turned around from the window and said, "Judging from the speed of the Norman's defeat. The combat effectiveness of the Falcons is very extraordinary, and what interests me most is that the opponent’s combat weapon is also ours. There should be a surprise if you have never encountered it before!"

The sunlight just shè through the clouds. The white mist covered the earth, and under the breeze, the mist slowly dissipated. Gradually rising from the ground, and finally disappearing, the world suddenly became much clearer and clearer.

On the flat ground in northwestern Normandy, with a clear line of sight, you can almost see the rolling hills a few kilometers away. On the edge of the connection between the sky and the earth, you can also vaguely see the rolling clouds, and the tranquility here. The **** sè formed a strong contrast.

The Marquis of Ushuaia, the Marshal of the Principality of Dunkirk, was riding on a horse with a proud face with obvious arrogance. He looked at the flat area in front of him. There was no cloud and the visibility was very good. I can see the lonely Shirsha Castle in the distance. Since entering the border of Normandy, I have not seen any living people, and it is the same now. Near Shirsha Castle, the Marquis of Ushuaia has not seen any signs of living people.

"Isn't there a Falcon Army here? People?" The Marquis of Ushuaia turned his head and asked dissatisfiedly to a general behind him, "It should be in the castle in front." "The general with the army said with an ugly face, his name is Benisaf, he is burly and powerful, and he has a thick armor like a steel. In the Principality of Dunkirk, he is a brave general who is known for his bravery. The second time was that he was solely responsible for the war in Normandy. Under the duchy’s persecution, he could only say that the Falcon Army was naturally timid, and that the Falcon Army retreated immediately after encountering it several times. The army was cautious and adopted the strategy of slowly advancing. , It’s been 4 days since I crossed the border, and I don’t know what the Falcon Army looks like.

"The enemy hasn’t seen it, you’re still rubbing here!" To the general’s explanation, the Marquis of Ushuaia, Marshal of the Principality, turned pale, and said angrily, "You should know that the troops sent by the Principality accounted for With a quarter of the Principality’s military strength, the Grand Duke hopes that with this battle, he is very eager to lay the hegemony on the northwest coast in one fell swoop. You only advanced 10 miles a day, and now you only occupy 8 border villages. This is what you gave Duke’s account?"

However, the two did not know that at this moment, in the distance that they could not see, they also had a pair of eyes, carefully looking at the road in the distance from the looking glass, and furious with the Marquis of Ushuaia. Is in a different mood, this person’s eyes are full of coldness,

This person is Cleveland, the commander of the Fifth Banner of the Southern Army, who is responsible for the defense of this area.

The Duchy of Dunkirk and the Duchy of Romana jointly attacked the northwestern part of Normandy. Statunco ordered the main southern forces to shrink the front and use the Illu Fortress to move the front along the three outside the Irru Fortress. It is divided into three areas: Shirsha Fort, Ferrol, and Poole. The 3 main battle flag regiments line up along the line. The cavalry flag regiment stays at Irru and is used as a mobile unit. Among them, the commander of the fifth banner, Cliff Lan is in charge of the Shirsha Castle in front of the Dunkers.

The Cleveland Fifth Banner has a strength of about 8,000, and the Dunkerians’ 20,000 main force is on the line. With the disparity in strength, Cleveland ordered all the external troops to be retracted.

But the Dunkers’ advancing speed was so slow that it was not until the fourth day that Cleveland saw the late arrival of Dunker’s troops in the observation mirror.

"Order everyone to prepare!" Cleveland put down the looking glass in his hand and gave the order in a low voice.

In the distance, a group of heavy armored cavalry from the Dunkirk army stopped 200 meters in front of Shirsha Fort, and 20,000 Dunkirk soldiers began to line up, spears like forests, and infantry shields densely lined up outside the fort. Open, facing the empty Shirsha Castle, the opponent is very careful to set up a tentative formation, "Uuu"

With the sound of a long bugle, the two infantry formations separated from the main unit and began to advance. The speed of the rush was very slow, and they entered the range of 50 meters before they began to increase their speed in strides, and finally began to send out. Furiously rushing on a barrier that no one has, the army outside the castle began to move forward, apparently confirming the completion of the Shirsha Castle, and finally entered the armored cavalry who arrived first. "What a bunch of idiots!"

Cleveland, who saw this scene in the distance, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth,

His arms were slowly raised, and the cavalry behind him dragged a large number of branches and ran in the wilderness. The branches dragged up the dust in the high-speed running, covering the sky and rolling with the wind, as if at the end of the horizon. Here comes a sandstorm "There is a situation!"

The Dunkirk army, who had just entered Sharsha Castle, quickly filled the castle’s fortress and put on a stand-out posture,

In the smoke and dust rising into the sky in the distance, groups of infantry in black armor slowly emerged from the dust, heavy shields and long spears, especially under the dust of the sky, the blackness of these mysterious troops His armor gave people a kind of icy solemnity, "This is the Falcon Army who defeated the Normans?" Marshal of the Duchy, Marquis Ushuaia, stood on the lookout platform of the castle, a glimmer of sharp light flashed in his eyes." Immediately send two thousand-man teams outside the city to find out the situation of each other"

At the critical moment, the Marquis of the Principality Marquis of Ushuaia simply gave the order directly. The other party's pretending to be mysterious made him feel something wrong, but his words have not yet fallen. The countless red spots have been far away like shooting stars. The dust rose from behind, "God. What's that?"

In everyone’s stunned mouth, a huge slingshot burning with raging flames suddenly broke through the barrier of smoke and dust like a beast in everyone’s sight, with howling and long black smoke, violently Hit it on the wall of the castle, touch it! The fire was everywhere, and everyone’s ears roared with a huge explosion. It was seen as a ring of impact that collapsed a battlement that had been dry and cracked for many years. The dozen or so Dunkel soldiers who were caught off guard turned into flaming firemen. The screams resounded through the city, the kind of tragic that made the Marquis Marquis Ushuaia, who was a high nobleman, sit on the ground with fright, "Attention, sling!"

The sound of horror hasn't fallen yet~IndoMTL.com~ Numerous red dots have turned into meteor-like falling stone bombs, rumbling, a fireball hit the castle's arrow tower, and a greater explosion sounded. In the castle, the huge vibration made the foundation of the castle sway. A huge crack appeared in a one-hundred-meter-long wall, and then it collapsed. Numerous Dunkel soldiers on it were like small black spots that were submerged.

Hundreds of crude oil bombs buried in the castle’s arrow tower were ignited by the bursting flames almost at the same time. The tremendous power of the explosion caused the stones inside the castle to fly all over, and the stones of Gucheng were also affected by this. The huge power shattered into several pieces,

The explosion of the soft plain ground gene-based distance cracked from the bottom of the castle wall, and then quickly caused a major collapse of the city wall.

The city wall was torn down like a pile of building blocks, and the 20,000 Dunkel army ran wildly inside,

Countless soldiers jumped from the collapsed area, and they were smashed into pieces of meat by huge rocks. Even if they were not dead, they were buried in dust and gravel. "The whole army advances!"

Cleveland gave the order without expression. In the dust of the sky, the black army showed its hideous teeth, and countless clusters of arrows burst out of the dust like locusts! (To be continued.)
