Power and Empire Chapter 1493: Bi Ye Gu (4)
On December 14th, the northwest coast covered by heavy snow, the vast sky, the white lines rolled up on the sea hit the cliffs with thunderous rumblings
The Southwest Army outside the city of Rwanaka began to pull out camp. The soldiers carried things back and forth on the carriages. Some soldiers were unwilling to look at Rwanaka, which was still burning amidst the white snow. The moat of the city, whether it is a soldier or an officer, is full of helplessness and shamelessness. I have never encountered an opponent like this, and even blocked a hundred thousand army with a wall of fire that never extinguished for 14 days! The helplessness brought about by the Fire Wall is far inferior to the psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Southwest Army.
The news that the Falcon Navy defeated the Southwest Joint Fleet has spread to the Army. No one thought that the northwest coast, which has always been looked down upon, would suddenly show such a powerful naval force.
The Southwest Joint Fleet has the Southwest Directly Subordinate Fleet and the Empire’s Regular Fleet. The total number of warships exceeds お. In the Southwest Army’s expectation, the Northwest Coast Navy is just some botched barbarian warships, facing the powerful Southwest Union. The fleet is not like the single bó grass stems and leaves that have been thrown into the typhoon, being torn into countless fragments in an instant,
Under the strong advancement of the navy and the land, the barbarians on the northwest coast should be panicked and flee in a hurry, but the reality is so cruel. It is the Southwest United Fleet that is uprooted like a single bó grass stalk, northwest The fleet not only suffered no major losses, but also counterattacked the southwestern waters. The army was also so embarrassed, or called unbearable. A hundred thousand army, staring at a small city with less than 10,000 defensive forces. Xiaoyan looked at it for fourteen days,
launched an offensive. Apart from paying more than a thousand casualties, there is no record at all. In terms of logistics, the food supply is getting less and less, and a large number of people must be sent to the nearby forest to hunt in order to be able to reluctantly. Make sure no one starves to death,
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the icy wind that passes by has turned into continuous rain and snow. Even an ordinary Southwest Army soldier knows that the so-called northward advance has become a joke, and the generals are still doing Quarreling in and out,
The Southwest Army didn’t know that in Akka, Rwanda, Lidarcus was fidgeting like an ant on a hot pot. He lay on the wall every day, observing the changes of the Southwest Army on the opposite side
"I wish I would wake up early tomorrow morning without anyone outside!"
This defensive master, who is regarded as a super awesome man by the outside world, is actually very upset and vacillated every day. As the fat man said, Lida Crycus is a general with a somewhat swaying personality. On the third day after the decision, he began to regret it. It turned out that all perfect plans had fatal flaws. Just like now, the weather suddenly became worse and worse. The first two days were sunny, but everything was normal. As planned, the Southwest Army was blocked outside the wall of fire,
I wanted to launch an attack from the sea, but the squadron on the sea was beaten up. I heard that a senior officer was injured because of this. The weather afterwards was very bad, and the rain and snow began to appear alternately. The weather, the large swaths of snowflakes and the cold rain are like magic, overwhelming the sky, all night and night, endless, and the sound of brushing is like rubbing Lidakus’s nerves, outside the window The crackling of snow flakes and raindrops makes Lidarcus suffer every day
In order to maintain the wall of fire, the crude oil in the city disappeared much faster than originally expected,
"The ⒖day time limit that I vowed at the beginning seems to be impossible. It is the limit to be able to stick to it for ten days." After counting the few crude oils left, Lidarcus, who was a logistics minister, clearly realized This point,
He was never a very strong man. It was impossible for him to coexist and die with the city, which was full of tragic things. He realized that there was a deviation in the plan, and Lidarcus immediately let the fleet stranded at sea dock in the port urgently. Some of the incendiary bombs and Thor shells equipped on the battleship are unloaded. These can be used as backup crude oil at critical moments. If necessary, once the situation is found to be bad, more space can be freed to transport more soldiers. Go back,
"Everyone is ready, as soon as the fire wall shows signs of going out, everyone will immediately evacuate!"
Lidarcus let the entire order be passed on to every soldier. On the fifth day, with the assistance of the naval squadron, the Rwandak people in the city withdrew from the city intermittently,
held on to the seventh day, when Fatty ordered a fleet from Normandy to arrive in Rwanda Acre, the transport fleet brought a large amount of crude oil, which were crude oil barrels originally transported to the northern border, the number of which was 1,000 Five hundred barrels. Because the Slavs eventually avoided fighting, these strategic reserves were transported back to the place where they were originally mined intact. With this batch of crude oil, Rwanda’s wall of fire can continue to be supported, but even so , If the Southwest Army waits one more day, the crude oil in Rwanda Acre will be burned out, and the wall of fire that troubled them but helpless will completely disappear, and later generations will be hailed as the "unfallen Rwand Acre". No longer exists,
This may be the choice of fate. The Southwest Army finally gave up to continue the siege of Rwanda under the unfavorable situation of the first battle, and the road of advance and retreat of the 100,000 army began to be confused.
The first battle was unfavorable. Although no major losses were encountered, the logistics supplies were almost paralyzed. The soldiers were hungry and hungry, staggering, disorganized, and low morale, which has caused many Southwestern army generals to retreat.
"Our army has been unable to advance north, so we should withdraw to the southwest. It is better to wait for the time!" At the military meeting, some generals expressed the intention to retreat, and some generals asked to continue to advance north. A small setback, I chose to retreat in panic. Such a thing would only become a ridicule. Although the logistics was cut off, the main force of our army did not suffer loss. It is entirely possible to continue the northward advance by means of war. From Rwanda Acre to Oacha, the distance is less than five days...
口.
"What you call five days, you mean to go straight through the Arcodado Promenade in the Principality of Denia!"
The general who supported the retreat disdainfully retorted, "Rugao is like that, before we encounter the Falcons, we must fight the Hundred Thousand Denia Army! You want to cover the ten-day journey with the corpses of soldiers. Right?"
"Even if it is covered with corpses, it is better than being scolded as a coward! No matter how hard it is, it is the duty of a soldier to move forward bravely". The general who asked the north to advance was much higher in momentum than the general who supported the retreat. At the meeting, the generals argued hoarse, if not in front of Algernon Katja, they would have already fought.
"Enough, look at what you are now, how is it different from a group of shrews, is this still an elite Southwest Army!" Algernon Katja finally stood up impatiently, and the generals stopped. When arguing, they all looked at the lord general whose face was uncertain,
"I have already decided!" Algernon Kaya glanced across the faces of the people, took a deep breath with a solemn expression, and said, "This battle has failed. In the absence of supplies, To continue northward is to make fun of the lives of a hundred thousand army. Therefore, from the afternoon, the legions will retreat to the southwest according to the original route. Because I am the overall person in charge of this battle, I will personally discuss the issue of Atwood. I went to the imperial capital to explain to the imperial military department!"
As Algernon Katya announced the order, the venue was silent. Whether it was a request to retreat or a insistence on marching north, a trace of shame flashed across everyone’s faces. Outside the military account, heavy snow fell and filled the world. , Almost invisible direction
"Okay, this is the decision." Algernon Katja pressed his hands on the table with a cold face. At this moment, an attendant rushed in from the outside with an eager look. Katya whispered in her ear
"Lord General, Duke Francis of Bangor sent someone to send a confidential letter!"
"Secret letter?" Algernon Katja frowned slightly. When the Northwestern Rebellion was unstoppable, he once refused Francis' request to rescue Bangor. Could this guy write a letter specifically to laugh at me? ?
"That's it!" The attendant took out a letter from his sleeve. The cover was blue for nobles, and the outside was sealed with silver red lacquer, and on it was the abbreviation of Duke Francis, Lord Bangor.
"It looks very formal, not like a letter to laugh at!" Algernon Katja hesitated, took the letter from the attendant, and opened the red one with his fingers. Fire paint, my eyes swept over ~IndoMTL.com~ Suddenly it was a little condensed, even the sound of breathing was aggravated, and my eyes lit up
"Where is the person delivering the letter? ‘Algernon Katja asked in a low voice, impatiently
" just waiting outside!" the attendant replied in a low voice,
"Take him to my military tent!" Algernon Katja commanded with joy. It’s really an infinite road. Denia and Ruosende stuck on the road leading to Oacha. Road, but Bangor, who is located far away, takes the initiative to contact himself,
Francis expressed in this unexpected letter that he is willing to assist the Southwest Army to pass through its territory. He also pointed out that the place where the Falcon Army’s food was collected is in the Biye Valley on the border between Bangor and Oacha, although On the route, this is twice as far as the distance through the Duchy of Denia, but it is also the case, and it can achieve unexpected results.
squeezed the letter in his hand, the sadness on Algernon Katya's face was swept away,
The hatred between Bangor and the Falcons is well known, so it is normal to be able to do this kind of stabbing in the back. However, the Falcons must have never imagined that after they put on a retreat posture, Will suddenly kill a carbine
" The second, fifth, sixth, and seventh legion commanders stay, and the others can go away!" Algernon Katja swept away his decadence and waved his hand to the others in an imposing manner, Wiki Asia Falcon, the battle of the Northwest, has just begun (to be continued) [This text is provided by the Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for your recommendation and monthly pass.
