Power and Empire Chapter 1608: Southwest to Northwest (2)
The fat man drove easily, took Saran and a hundred and twenty to the Valparaí fortress. Along the way, the sea view was charming, the cool chūn breeze came to the earth, but the fat man’s eyebrows were a little twisted, and he did not see the scenery in front of him. And let go, the beautiful scenery cannot conceal the depression of the trade road. There are not many caravans along the way, and most of the caravans that can be seen occasionally are small in size. Fatty remembers that when he read the report last time, there were more than 30 records. The Chamber of Commerce has set up an office in the southwest. In the customs clearance record, the Valparaí Corridor has 186 caravans and more than 3,000 carriages in one day.
But in front of me, the number of caravans encountered along the way is very few. Either it’s loaded with goods and shipped back, or it’s just like a pair of eggplants that have been beaten by frost. There is no anger at all, so count it. For the team I just passed, Fatty only saw 3 caravans.
This is a bit beyond the fat man’s expectation. Even if the southwestern trade road is closed, there are still many smugglers on the border. How shouldn’t they fall here? You must know that the northwestern wool and goat horns and hand-woven thick Linen, but very popular in the southwest
For these common daily necessities, the Southwest Army is not completely unrelenting. It only increased taxes, leading to rampant smuggling on the border.
"It seems that the Southwest Blockade has a serious impact on Northwest commerce"
The fat man’s eyebrows frowned slightly. The southwest is a shortcut to the hinterland of the Gaul Empire, so most of the goods shipped to the Gaul hinterland will enter Gaul from here. The other party has the confidence to be confident, and it should come from here. At a commercial cargo station, the fat man saw the goods piled up like a mountain. There were more than 200 freight wagons parked in Guangping in front of the small town of the cargo station. Many merchants stayed here. The town is already overcrowded at the moment. The merchants are waiting for the southwest side to switch, but no one knows when they will pass. High-quality updates have formed a rare crowd surging for a while. This situation is very troublesome. Once the southwest blockade is not released, no one can guarantee that there is no bankruptcy or suicide among the merchants here. This is an extremely cruel impact on the merchants of the entire northwest coast
Tightening the whip in his hand, the fat man turned his head away from a stall, where a middle-aged man was leaning against with a sad face. There were a lot of goods on the stall, but no one bought it. A 2-year-old boy rolled back and forth in the pile of goods, giggling in his mouth, or only children can laugh now
Accelerating through the town, the guard cavalry leading the way in front of the rush of horse hooves. Suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Legerdo Mountain Range is ahead"
The fat man raised his head and saw that the vast land in front of him was suddenly blocked by a huge raised mountain range. The huge mountain gap is like a **** opening. It is the Valparaí Corridor, which is known as the natural danger. Ten thousand zhōngyāng troops are stationed in the Valparaí Corridor.
Received that the scout reported that His Majesty Falcon was about to arrive. Two generals of the zhōngyāng army, all in armor, were already waiting at the entrance of the promenade, watching the horses from the opposite side pick up the smoke and dust. The two generals of the zhōngyāng army of Falcons quickly tidied their collars, and now there are still horse teams coming, and only your Majesty Falcons
"Reposti, Jaglins, see your majesty!" The two zhōngyāng army generals hurriedly stood up neatly and saluted the oncoming fat man. Behind them, five thousand zhōngyāng army soldiers greeted the array, all at the same time. Kneel down
The sound of "Long Live Your Majesty Falcon" resounded everywhere and resounded across the sky. The sharp spear was like Xiao Han that rolled up the sky, bringing a slaughter like an infinite black hole in the long corridor behind you,
The chest of every soldier here is engraved with white thorns belonging to the Fatty’s direct legion. From behind the general is the squadron leader, then the soldiers, like a huge triangle, behind each officer at the left end of the queue The red cloak is embroidered with a pair of silver military emblems with separate wings, because the zhōngyāng army was originally expanded on the basis of the falcon guards, and as the zhōngyāng army was separated from the guards, in order to show the difference between the two The emblem of the zhōngyāng army officer’s cloak is silver, while the two-wing cloak of the Guards is gold. Of course, they all have a common name "Falcon Double Wings"
"Get up all"
The fat man stopped the horse, the gods were majestic, his eyes flashed with sharp cold light, and the shouts of five thousand soldiers made the blood in his body boil. The army, the weapon of the country, and Yaglins , Reposti's performance in the battle of the expedition is remarkable. Fatty has transferred them to the zhōngyāng army, which can be regarded as compensation for the two Titans
"Thank you Majesty!" A magnificent response came out from the mouths of the five thousand soldiers, and the trembling empty sky rumbling,
Everyone stood up neatly, a zhōngyāng army general stepped forward to hold the fat man’s horse, the fat man got off the horse, and another zhōngyāng army general was very skilled in taking the whip from the fat man’s hand. Five thousand people lined up. The soldiers separated to the two sides like a split flood, exposing a five-meter-wide road into the promenade,
The army is like a cloud, an angry man, and the corners of Fatty's mouth are grinning slightly. Isn't Murphy's family going to hunt? I don't know if it is a prey or a hunter! No matter what medicine Murphy’s gourd sells, if you let go of the Southwest, it’s okay. If you use this to threaten yourself, you don’t mind going to the Southwest and crushing the barrier of the Gaul Empire in the west from behind.
Although the southwest is the place of the Fourth World War, it is also a hub. Occupying the southwest is equivalent to opening a path to the hinterland of Gaul! This temptation is also true for the fat man, walk through the corridor, enter the fortress of Valpalai, and walk up to the fortress’s city head surrounded by the crowd,
The fat man saw Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry, who was recently famous in the southwest. The Murphy’s flag was flying about 500 meters in front of the city gate. There were more than a dozen tents and a fence outside, which seemed to be true. The hunting is average, but the fat man knows that the other party has been waiting for him. The so-called "hunting", I'm afraid it is the two fortresses known as the gateway to the southwest.
On the ground where greenery had just grown, a group of purple cavalry captains was galloping past, like a purple line piercing the eyes, neat and high cavalry," I looked down on Gaul before! "The fat man stared at the purple figure on the flat ground in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly,
According to his eyes, it is natural to see that the opponent is also a battle-hardened jīng sharp, with a sharp murderous aura. He is also early to the Murphy's dragon armor heavy cavalry who suddenly appeared in the southwest. Heard it. High-quality updates are high-quality updates
At the beginning, Julius Fort, who had already returned to Kyoto from the southwest, mentioned "Murphy's Dragon Armor Heavy Cavalry" when he left.
Although the name is Heavy Armored Cavalry, it is very different from other heavy cavalry. It is not equipped with heavy full-body plate armor, but relatively light but very tough scale armor. The two layers of scales on the inside and outside are superimposed, enough Resist the flat cutting of most swords. The weapon is not a general cavalry lance, but a cavalry assault lance with an arc hook, which is dedicated to destroying infantry defense
Speaking logically. This kind of scale-structured armor cannot withstand the piercing of the spear, and the most remarkable feature of Murphy’s dragon armor is here. Murphy’s dragon armor is called "dragon armor" and has a great reputation. It’s precisely because of destroying the opponent’s gun formation that he stunned Gaul."
"The heavy cavalry of the spear array!"
Fatty also took a deep breath for this title, his eyes flashed,
It's not that he doesn't believe Julius Faubourg's reminder, but he is not a fledgling bird who has never been on the battlefield. As the recognized undefeated **** of war on the continent of Ikadiva, he was the first person to defeat cavalry clusters with infantry formations. At the beginning of the Swadian battle, the total number of heavy cavalry encountered was close to 100,000.
For this extremely expensive and equipment-intensive top unit, although Fatty is the victor, he has always held an attitude of awe in the era of cold weapons. If the cavalry is a sharp spear that decides the victory or defeat on the battlefield, then the heavy cavalry is the most insane and staggering point of the spear in front of the heavy cavalry. Even if it can be effectively blocked, it is still a tragic blood
Only those who have really experienced the battlefield will know the horror of facing the impact of heavy cavalry, that kind of heavy armored beast with the ground trembling under their feet, and the fierce beast with a height of 2 meters, full of hideous and terrible storms. I feel that people who have never seen that scene can definitely make a huge uncontrollable panic erupt from their hearts. It seems that I am an ant who is about to enter the torrent. That kind of helplessness is absolutely unimaginable without personal experience. Yes, when the gun array meets the heavy cavalry, it is simply a collision of flesh and steel,
At that moment, blood splashed and the spear broke and broke
The entire platoon of gunmen was either pierced by a single shot or knocked into the air. Even the brave spearmen would not dare to say that they were not scared to pee when they charged against the heavy cavalry for the first time. It’s just that it was too chaotic, and no one would say anything afterwards.
"Believe me, although Murphy Dragon Armour has always only fought in the east, but I also saw its fierce fighting in my youth. The proud Great Dragon Gunner Legion, most of us think that Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry will be pierced by a five-meter long gun, but the result is unexpected. Except for the first pause, Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry will be pierced by a heavy gun. It swept across the people of China and Biyah like tearing apart a piece of paper. That kind of aura, if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you would never believe it."
Julius Faubourg looked very serious when he mentioned the **** sè of Murphy’s Dragon Armor. He especially reminded the fat man who has always liked "risky"
" People who encounter Murphy’s dragon cavalry for the first time often don’t know this. They were caught off guard by the sudden large-scale cavalry charge, thinking that the stable spear array could stop them. A breakthrough in time, the dragon cavalry entered the formation, corpses all over the field,
Among the generals of Central and Piazza who died because they despised Murphy's dragon armor and heavy cavalry, several of them were famous for their defensive skills! I tell you this, I just hope you will have a whole new consideration when you face Murphy's Dragon Armor! If this opponent can not fight, it is better not to fight! "
"Thirty thousand heavy-armored cavalry is already a very sharp existence. If you don't fear the stabbing gun anymore, it is not invincible on the battlefield?" The fat man's mouth curled slightly. Although he expressed his disbelief, he actually had a snack on Murphy's Dragon Armor in his heart. Julius Faubourg should not exaggerate the enemy to deceive himself,
It also seems to be to verify what Julius Faubourg said is true. In the Battle of the Southwest, Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry and Gang Fei’s first large-scale confrontation, rarely served by 30,000 Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry. In the battle, the army rushed into the most tightly defensive array of the Congolese and African army with a destructive momentum. They were stunned on the spot. Tens of thousands of people in the army were unable to stop the advancement. There were countless deaths and injuries, and the array was in chaos. If it weren’t for the Congolese and African army to fight to the death, the two wings desperately protect the lord, maybe even the emperor's flag of the Chinese army will be drawn under the horseshoes by Murphy’s dragon cavalry, and that shame can be thrown home!
The fat man who received this news analyzed that it should be the Murphy family's special forging skills and cavalry, wearing heavy scale armor. Specializing in breaking the opponent’s spear formation, rushing like thunder, unstoppable, 30,000 dragon cavalry do have the capital to make their attention,
As the distance got closer and closer, the fat man's eyes lit up when he looked at Murphy's dragon cavalry, and he took a deep breath of air. "Goodbye, let me just say, how can there be cavalry who specialize in fighting the gun formation, but can Combine plate armor and scale armor to this level. Technology is second, but the idea is unexpected! It can be regarded as a sword going slant!"
Not far away, I saw a group of Murphy dragon cavalry galloping past. The horses were flying. Under the scale armor of the purple cavalry above, as they swayed up and down, the smooth and round barrel armor was exposed. It's like a smooth ellipse sleeved inside the scales, densely covered with horizontal hooks, which should be used to hang the scales. Because it was not a wartime, this team of dragon cavalry was obviously not fully armed. If all the scale armor was covered from the outside, it is estimated that no one would know that it was inside the scale armor. It turned out to be a cylindrical main plate with a smooth arc surface.
But it is enough for the modern man, Fatty, with scales used to resist hacking on the outside, and smooth barrel plate armor on the inside. Every dragoon cavalry must have undergone cruel and skillful training to ensure that at the moment of impact, use the swing and high-speed momentum on the horse's back. Flexible use of circular plate armor to avoid the spurs of the opponent’s spear. This training is not difficult for real soldiers of this era. Just like Nord and Swadian, many Swadian knights and traditional martial arts have been carried out since childhood. Unimaginable military training,
The Murphy family must be the same. They used unexpected tactics to rush through the opponent’s defenses, and then use highly concentrated heavy cavalry to push down the enemy. Because there is no barrier at all, the swept by a large group of heavy cavalry will be like a beast. Like the tail, it is enough to make any infantry group heartbroken. Although it sounds like a fantasy, who can guarantee that this method will not have surprising magical effects! Moreover, in order to reduce the force area on the front of the round plate armor, the body of these Murphy dragon armor wearers is very well-proportioned. If a tired and lazy guy like the fat man is absolutely beaten to death, he will not be able to enter the cage.
I found out the secret that Murphy’s dragon armor can’t be pierced by a spear. Instead, the fat man’s inner worries disappeared. Too much deification is the most frightening thing. The other party puts on such a posture, which is obviously to use force. During the negotiation, the cylindrical plate armor can avoid the piercing of the long spear, but it absolutely cannot stop the short-range penetration of the crossbow. Thinking of this, the corner of the fat man’s mouth shows a sly smile
The sky is clear, the sky is cloudless, and the shallow grass is rolled up by the wind, and a bald eagle that is common in coastal areas flies over from a high place.
On the third day of the hunt, Murphy Obern received news from the opposite party,
Vickia Falcon is here! And the king of the barbarian has clearly seen through the meaning of "hunting". The letter said, "After three years, 150 Murphy's dragon armor to 150 guards, southwest to northwest. If the northwest wins, the southwest needs to let go. Regarding the pass, no tax of a cent in the northwest shall be levied. If the southwest wins, there is nothing to say, and the two fortresses will return to their original owners!"
"What an idiot who doesn't know the so-called!"
After reading the letter, Murphy Lins snorted very dissatisfied. Although he already looked at the Falcon Guards cavalry very highly, it was just an imposing approval.
Combat and aura are completely different things. Even if it is sharp and sharp, how can the opponent be faced with Murphy's dragon armor heavy cavalry who can't penetrate the spear and the sword? Moreover, the opponent is not a heavy cavalry, and has a natural disadvantage against Murphy’s dragon armor heavy cavalry.
You must know that, everywhere, heavy cavalry is at the peak of existence, the nemesis of all arms. In Morpheus’s mind, only heavy cavalry is a true cavalry, and other light cavalry is just a foil, but now A certain guy said very arrogantly that the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry duel in equal numbers
"Too kidding~IndoMTL.com~ I don't know what the other party thinks, it's a bit too arrogant!"
The older Murphy Obern picked up the report and smiled disapprovingly. He did come for the two southwest gateways. The door was looked at by others, which is not a very pleasant thing. He blocked Southwest commerce and trade. He was holding the other party’s plan to salute first and then the soldiers. The withdrawal of the Congolese troops has become a foregone conclusion. The Southwest Army is now vigorous and strong, and there are also many voices clamoring for revenge in the army. Let Murphy Lins lead the 30,000 dragon armored heavy cavalry as the vanguard to enter the northwest coast
I just didn’t expect that the opponent would simply win or lose in a round, each with 150 people, even if it’s dead, it’s just 150 against 150! With such a provocative and arrogant tone, even Murphy Obern shook his head inwardly
The cavalry on the northwest coast is good, but the Vickia Falcon on the northwest coast is a bit of a misnomer. Its Murphy dragon armor is a heavy cavalry. In the past, one heavy cavalry equals three light cavalry. It is equal to the strength of his own 50 Murphy Dragon Armors, doesn't the Vikya Falcon even know this common sense! Being sharp in a hundred battles does not mean that the light cavalry can beat the heavy cavalry. It is a challenge that has never been heard before. Such a provocation that is unmeasured is to take the initiative to touch his own rock with an egg!
