Power and Empire Chapter 1616: Northwest! (1)
The dark sky, moonlight and starlight symphony and shining, like a beautiful scroll written by countless shining points of light on the top of the head,
Getting out of the prison, the fat man couldn't help speeding up. The terrain was flat and there were almost no undulations. He raised his whip with his hand violently. The fat man ran up to the small mound in front and hundreds of guard cavalry behind him. Followed by,
"Your Majesty, there is our military station ten miles ahead, do you need to notify them in advance to prepare!" Hu Keqili came from behind and asked the fat man for instructions
"No, we won't rest at the military station tonight. Let's go back to Xinhai City!" The fat man waved his hand to Hu Keqili and said loudly, "Tell everyone, who is the first to reach the gate of Xinhai City," I will give him the bottle of grassland drunk on my waist!"
"Come on, for the sake of your majesty's grassland!"
As the order spread, hundreds of guard cavalry in the rear gave a violent response, and the horse team speeded up again,
The melodious sound of the piano floats in the night, and the food on the bonfire makes the sound of dripping oil. This kind of scene makes the night a little more romantic and blurry, not to mention the starlight hanging tonight. The young men and women in the team depended on each other and wanted to enjoy the romance of being alone, but there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, like thunder running across the mountains, and the darkness was heavy. Only the horses galloping like the wind, the iron armor is cold, and the cavalry above is sturdy The abnormality attracted the attention of many caravans resting on the roadside,
There is a distance of forty miles from the prison to Xinhai City. Originally, the fat man still had the plan to fly all the way, but soon he found that it was not feasible.
Although it is late at night, there are still a lot of caravans on the road. I have to slow down several times and pass by the caravan filled with goods.
The little bonfire on the side of the road is almost unbroken.レm♠思♥路♣客レ dragged a distance of more than sixty miles on the road, spreading along the business road all the way, like a series of huge long lights, the scene is spectacular, these are caravans that come and go to rest.
Because the post on the road is generally not large in size, the number of accommodation is limited, and in addition to the current weather, it is a very suitable May, many caravans have given up the habit of going to the post, but chose Camping in the wild,
A carriage full of goods. Surrounded by a circle outside, a raging bonfire was lit in the middle, and everyone in the caravan sat in a circle around the bonfire. The commercial road along the coast is the key protection zone for the Falcon Army. The patrol cavalry divided by region is based on their own range. Tour back and forth inside.
On the way, there are only caravans and no robbers can be seen. Thousands of horse-drawn carriages pass by here every day, just like a large artery across the northwest coast, continuously combining resources and commodities
In fact, there are very few robbers in the northwest coast, on the one hand because of the strict clearance of the Falcon Army, on the other hand. Because most of the immigrants who migrated are in groups, they built their own camps, and some have built their own guards. The northwest is barren and there are many wild animals. When reclaiming the wasteland, people often encounter attacks. The guards have mainly light weapons. It is used to deal with beasts, but it can also deal with robbers. Especially when the guards of hundreds of villages are united together, the guards with more than thousands of people are generally beaten to escape by robbers with less than a hundred people, while the larger robbers are hunting. The key target of the Eagle Garrison's suppression,
"It seems that I won't be there tonight!"
The fat man raised his head and looked at the moon on the sky. Then I looked at the seven or eight carriages that were tipping more and more in the middle of the road. The piled goods were rolling everywhere. Several businessmen were squatting on the ground with a sad expression. The road was completely blocked.
The fat man can only reluctantly give up his plan to return to Haicheng at night. On a fairly wide flat ground, the fat man raised his hand to the cavalry behind. "The whole team stopped and camped on the spot!" The guards got off the horse and took out the camping tools from the horse's crotch. There were more than a dozen bonfires at the original location,
Seeing that they were from the army, the nearby caravan voluntarily gave up a large piece of land. Although the Falcon Army’s reputation is good, but for these unblinking martial artists, they are mainly merchants transformed from nobles. The choice of menstrual flow is not provoked,
Moreover, these guards are big and thick, and they are murderous. Even if they take off their armor, they are the kind that can scare people to death with a glance. In this atmosphere, the businessmen around are even talking. The sound is much quieter, even the occasional glances here are mostly scared and curious
The fat man lay on the soft meadow indifferently and stretched his waist. He could feel the changes around him and the strange gaze of the businessman, but what about it? The army, the weapon of the country, even if there is no sharp weapon out of its sheath, at least the murderous aura of the weapon should have,
What's more, among these hundred guards, which one did not roll over in a sea of blood, they have been on the battlefield for a long time, killing people like cutting vegetables, naturally, they will not treat people as human beings, and they will look like hunters with self-confidence. The eyes of the prey,
"The first team is responsible for the left, and the second team is responsible for the right..." In the night, there was the sound of Hu Keqili personally arranging the defense of the camp, and piles of bonfires ignited like several barriers. Isolate the fat man from the outside,
Under the cold moonlight, the fat man was rare to be calm, his eyes blazingly looked at the huge sky of thousands of stars that had been shining since Heng ancient times, and the silver starlight was like a river running across the sky, and there was nothing in his ears. Insects in early summer,
The vast land is like a mountain and ink painting, majestic and magnificent, like a meadow, blown by the wind in the moonlight, and the rumbling sound of the sea beating the cliff wall in the distance, the beauty in front of him can not help but feel a little drunk , The world is like chess, where is the position of my own flag? Compared with this everlasting world, my troubles are really ridiculous, war, glory, and the clamor of thousands of troops! The overwhelming power of the country! In the end, which one is what I need?
A trace of confusion flashed in the fat man’s eyes. I don’t know why. At this moment, the fat man thought of the young man in the prison. Although he was weak and could not stand up, he was still exhausted when he saw the obsidian king ring on his finger. I tried my best to stand up, and respectfully bowed to myself a meeting with King Khan. The prairie people's tenacity and loyalty are undoubtedly expressed,
This had to make the fat man rethink the strategic direction of the empire. The vast and bitter land created the brave and fearless blood boiling in the body of the steppe people, who had a character that was difficult to be conquered. The prairie cavalry's strength is definitely not only because they have powerful warriors who have been riding on horses since they were young and able to draw bows and arrows, but also because of their tough and vigorous **** culture.
It can be seen that from the idle nomads who love zìyóu, to the rangers who defend the tribe, to the steppe cavalry who went on to succeed in the steppe war, the rough men, killing people is extremely cruel, but often Tears will be moved by the cultural symbol of "tribe". For this cultural sense of belonging, the grassland people have a firm gaze in the wind and snow: they wear thick felt coats and step on shiny riding boots. In the cold and **** world, guarding the warmest sustenance in his heart.
Suddenly, what Fatty had been hesitating in his mind began to become clear. The Slavs’ Land of No One is tempting, but because of this, facing the main force of the Dongting people, it’s not worth it after all, invading the fired grassland. In front of the cavalry, it’s useless to get more land that can’t be held.
In contrast, the northwest coast that was originally designated as the support point of the Obaro continent, after a period of great development, now has a very good foundation, population, military power, commerce, urban infrastructure, and more and more empires The homeland is the same, backed by the empire's homeland, and formerly connected to the Gaul Empire, the unique advantage in commerce and trade makes the northwest coast like a huge vortex attracting businessmen, and it is rising at an abnormally rapid rate. Using this gap of a thousand miles to speed up the control of the northwest of Gaul, before the Gauls finally intervene, to truly complete the complete control of the northwest is obviously more in line with the needs of the empire’s interests.
Fatty was originally worried about Southwest, but since Southwest showed that he was on the same front with him, if he didn’t show enough power to trust him, I’m afraid he would be underestimated by this Murphy Obern. Less,
When all the troubles are gone, the fat man who ignites is the heart of war,
"It seems that the fire that has shaken the Gaul Empire should have begun to burn!" Sitting up, the fat man picked up a piece of the wooden roots on the ground, and picked up the fire in front of him with a deep look. The flame of bright yellow sè climbs up the stick like a snake,
According to the letter from Julius Faubourg, if the decision made ten days ago, coupled with the full resistance of the Julius family, the time for the new northwest chief to reach the northwest will be the most for himself That’s one month’s free time,
"1 month~IndoMTL.com~ Even if it can’t control the entire northwest, it’s enough for those whoops to weigh their own weight! The light of the bonfire shines on the fat man’s face, alternating light and dark, No one would have imagined that this fat man who showed a silly smile in front of the bonfire turned his mind about the fate of millions of creatures in the northwest. The fat man scratched the ground with a charred wooden stick. If he wanted to fully control the northwest, he would not be able to go around. Denia and Ruosend are two powerful countries..."
"Who!" The captain of the night guard interrupted the fat man's thoughts with a violent drink, and then there was a sound of sharp weapons being unsheathed,
"Don’t get me wrong, we are just passing by refugees! Because we want to find a place to rest..." There was a weak voice, and the fat man could see that a simple carriage was parked there. The middle-aged man in noble costumes is trying to explain to the guards what,
"Should I have taken a fancy to this place where I camped too"
The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he immediately felt something wrong. Hundreds of murderous soldiers squatted here, and many caravans nearby unconsciously pulled away. Could it be that the opponent is blind, it's a bit obvious. Can't you see all of the things? Or did it deliberately stick it up because it saw that it was an army? The fat man thinks that the latter is mostly! (To be continued...)
