Power and Empire Chapter 1640: Southwest Rebellion (3)

In early June, the warm summer breeze began to glow with the wetness of the rainy season and drizzle. Although the Mosand region gathered more than 300,000 troops from both sides, because of the arrival of the rainy season, it rarely showed a In balance, the Southwest Army launched several feint attacks, all of which were repelled by the opposite Northwest Army. The focus of the Northwest Army’s attack was still Stanley Spencer’s Janitor.

The cavalry in the northwest has ignored the existence of the Southwest Army several times, and directly sent nomadic cavalry groups to launch a series of night arrows, coming like the wind in the dark night, covering the camp of the Imperial Guard with death, or using Raytheon single-shot, and arrogantly launched a burst of hundreds of meters at the Imperial Guard camp,

"Rumble" cannons can travel far at night. Watching a round of cannonballs trailing away with a light tail finally exploded like flowers in the Kyoto Guards camp, not far away from the soldiers of the Southwest Army. At the beginning, I was worried, but I soon discovered that the other side seemed to be only interested in the Imperial Guard, and became confident. The Southwest Army guarded the gate of the empire for generations. Most Southwesterners were brave and brave. The guy who didn’t lose money was killed and survived. In the hands of Murphy Obern, the morale of the Southwest Army quickly recovered.

They sat in groups high in the camp, pointing at the cannonballs that looked like beautiful meteors across the night sky. Every night, the Northwest Army on the opposite side seemed to be happy about it, although it was not large in scale, causing The casualties were very limited, but it also made Stanley Binder’s Janitor become frightened at night,

Most of these imperial guards from Kyoto were lords of Kyoto. They had titles on them. When they walked there, they were surrounded by more or less rebel knights, even if they were beaten by the Northwest Army in the Sona River. Like a drowning dog. As a result, in front of the local Southwest Army, they immediately put on a pretentious look,

There were several conflicts between the two sides for this. Some people were injured by each other because of the status of the Janitor. In the end, they all ended with the rest of the Southwest Army. In order to avoid the continued expansion of the conflict between the two armies, Murphy Obern personally presided over a military meeting and ordered the 100,000 Southwest Army to be divided into two routes, with 60,000 people all the way, densely distributed in Stan. The left flank of the 50,000 Janitor in Libin. Placing a side-by-side containment array with another 110,000 people. Since they can’t fight, the Southwest Army has become more and more powerful than the Imperial Guard.

Every morning, during training, the Southwest Army's camp is full of flags fluttering and guns are like snow. The blackness crushed a sea of ​​people, almost covering the original color of the earth in June and summer. Correspondingly, there were two or three birds scattered in the fallen camp of the Janissaries. I don’t know why. In the last few days, the Janissaries There has been an outbreak of a plague that is not serious but is rapidly expanding. The plague is manifested by vomiting and diarrhea, the face turned blue, the soldiers' hands and feet are trembling and it is difficult to hold their weapons, the plague is violent, and even the army commander Stanley Spencer is not spared.

The strong commander lost weight in just a few days. Some people say that this is the curse of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion who died in the Sona River on the Janissaries. No wonder there is such a thing. Rumor has it, experiencing the battle of Sona River. The Fourth Army of the Gaul Empire was completely lost, but the tens of thousands of Janissaries from Kyoto were unscathed. It has long been said that the Janissaries forcibly drove the soldiers of the Fourth Corps into the Sona River. The offensive was unfavorable and unauthorized. Abandon the Fourth Army to escape. As a result, all 100,000 soldiers died in the river. It is said that on that river bank, as long as the night is at night, the cry of ghosts can be heard

Algernon Julia stepped into the southwest region, except for a few people who knew the inside story, but did not attract the attention of the caring person Murphy Obern. In his opinion, these tens of thousands of the Janissaries were finished ahead of schedule, or some of them were well-equipped and well-trained, but most of the Janissaries were already weak, even if they had withdrawn from Ruosend. The Five Thousand Guards cannot influence the overall situation. Of course, if he knows that among the people who withdrew this time, there is Algernon Julia, the emperor's sergeant chief, or not. It will be so taken lightly. In the far northwest, Algernon Julia is enough to represent His Majesty the Emperor. This is part of the plan.

Because of the plague, Stanley Spencer was trained in the southwestern capital. Algernon Julia was dressed in menswear and her hair was in a helmet. The night she entered the city, she immediately went to the Stanley Spencer Recreation Center on 26th Avenue to see her. Following her, there was also a doctor in the Imperial Guard. After reporting his false name, he saw Stanley Spencer, who looked weak,

"Miss Julia!" Looking at the menswear beauty who entered the room, Stanley Spencer's face was shocked, and the corners of his mouth wanted to get out of the bed with a wry smile, but Algernon Julia waved his hand to stop him and said, "I heard The adult is sick, and specially leads a doctor, hoping to help the adult’s condition!"

"Doctor? Actually it's not a big deal. I have already consulted a doctor, but it was because of diarrhea caused by eating unclean food." Stanley Spencer said dismissively while lying on the bed.

"Does your lord know what unclean food is?" Algernon Julia sat down opposite, with a serious face.

"I don’t know, but as a soldier, it’s inevitable to live in the field, and naturally I’m not so particular about it! On the contrary, the defeat of the Sova River caused a waste of Miss Julia’s wonderful arrangements. Ashamed" Stanley Spencer had a very respectful tone in front of Algernon Julia. This is a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor. There are even rumors that if not unwilling, the daughter of Alger’s farm is expected to become the third of Alger’s farm. The princess may even become the noble queen of the empire. In front of such a woman, it is no less than the feeling of facing an army.

"Since it is an arrangement, there is no guarantee that it will be successful, Master Stanley is overly concerned"

Algernon Julia smiled beautifully. Seeing people startled, she continued to say, "Vicia Falcon is indeed powerful, and it slammed into the country quietly, and then the army overcame for hundreds of miles, letting the soldiers dominate the forest without making a difference. Germany, I was embarrassed and had to choose to retreat by myself"

Algernon Julia's voice stopped, her mouth turned slightly, and she said with a bit of disdain. "But unfortunately, she is also a mediocre who has too much pity for the untouchables. Tens of thousands of elite cavalry have even taken care of the lives of the untouchables. , Watching our army safely escape and enter the southwest. If it were me, I would definitely order all the civilians to be killed without hesitation. All people and things were stepped on to pieces. If I missed this opportunity, I promise to let him. Extremely regretful!"

"This time the defeat of the Sova River, a lot of baggage should have been lost. Is there enough food in the frontline army?" Algernon Julia's words changed. A cold light flashed through the slightly narrowed phoenix eyes,

Stanley Spencer replied, "The heavy losses are indeed heavy, but because the rations are supplied from the Southwest and are transported in batches, the losses are not large"

"When was the last ration arrived?" Algernon Julia asked coldly

"Ten days ago. On the third day of our military defeat, the Southwest Army shipped enough rations for 20 days!" Stanley Spencer took a deep breath, wondering why Algernon Julia did. I asked this, but I seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and said with some uncertainty, "Miss Julia means that the plague in the army this time has something to do with the rations?"

"I'm not sure. But I received such news!" Algernon Julia said in a low voice. "There are rumors that the head of the Southwest Army, Murphy Obern, specially purchased The grains that were soaked in the rainstorm some time ago are roasted and dried and supplied to the Imperial Guard as military rations!"

"What! How dare he do this!" Stanley Spencer supported his body with his hands, his face changed slightly. "When Algernon Julia mentioned this, I remembered that the rations tasted wrong some time ago. For this I also severely reprimanded the attendants. It seems that after eating this kind of food, most of the soldiers vomited up and down in less than two days. They were physically exhausted, and the Northwest Army’s mischievous harassment made it impossible. The Young Guards soldiers had to choose to leave the front line and come to the southwest capital to recuperate!"

"It looks like this is the case!" Algernon Julia raised her head to look at the summer sun outside the window when she heard the pretty eyebrows frowned, and suddenly asked decisively, "How many troops are there in the southwestern capital now? Who? Is it the commander?"

Stanley Spencer looked at Algernon Julia's serious face. I don't know what this woman wants to do, but she answered honestly, "Because most of them were transferred to Mossand, the capital's force was vacant by three-quarters, only less than three thousand, but the commander was a famous warrior in the east. Murphy Obern's brother, Murphy Lins! I know this guy, it's very difficult to deal with!"

"Murphylins? That brave fool!" Algernon Julia curled her mouth, looking extremely disdainful, raised her head, looked at Stanley Spencer, and said, "Master Stanley, Battle of the Northwest The defeat, have you ever thought about how you would like your Majesty to explain? One hundred thousand military losses and a battle! Such a miserable even surpassed the defeat in the Battle of Seattle. His Majesty is still in Kyoto eagerly hoping that Your Majesty can lead the army to regain the Northwest. This is what you think of The return of the Emperor's grace?"

"If you lose, you will lose. At the Battle of Sova, I have nothing to say!" Stanley Spencer's face darkened, gritted his teeth and said, "I will apologize to Your Majesty with my life!"

"Your Majesty wants thousands of miles of fertile fields in the northwest, not a cold corpse of your lord!" Algernon Julia said unhurriedly, "This time I brought back five thousand people, and three thousand people stayed. A hundred miles away from here, there were 1,500 people outside the city. Five hundred of the most elite guards followed me into the city. If there were really only three thousand garrisons in the city, for your Excellency, it’s not a good idea. It is not an opportunity. Since the Northwest cannot be regained, why not regain the Southwest!"

"Southwest? There are more than 100,000 troops in the southwest!" Stanley Spencer was obviously taken aback by this proposal.

"Since your Excellency is not even afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of!" Algernon Julia said slowly. "There seems to be more than a hundred thousand troops in the southwest, but in fact, only Murphy Obern is the only one. Killing him, His Majesty the Emperor will be very pleased, and I will recommend it again. I believe that your chances of becoming the chief of the Southwest are very good, at least better than going back to Kyoto and waiting to die."

"Kill...Kill Murphy Obern!" Stanley Spencer said with an ugly face. "This is impossible. He is now in the Southwest Army Camp, protected by more than 100,000 troops! And Murphy Obern is very cautious. Under normal circumstances, there are always guards with him. It is too difficult to kill him!"

"This, I don't need you to tell me!" Algernon Julia said coldly. "But now, isn't there such an excellent opportunity in front of us, his brother Murphy Lins is in the city, You should know how deep the friendship between the two brothers is. If Murphy Lins is assassinated in the capital city, I can guarantee that Murphy O'Born will definitely rush back as soon as possible. With the Northwest army looking forward to it, he hastily There will be no more than one squadron that can accompany us, but we have a total of five thousand people. That is our chance to kill Murphy Obern. Controlling more than one hundred thousand Southwest Army, isn't your Excellency not at all tempted?"

"Kill Murphy Obern and take over the Southwest Army!" Stanley Spencer stood up all of a sudden with excitement and moved quickly around the room. Everyone is smart, and it is not necessary for Algernon Julia to explain it thoroughly, he understands that this plan has a great chance of success. The most troublesome thing about Murphy Obern is that he is steady and rarely puts himself in danger, but if he is left in a mess, as long as he ambushes an ambush on the road, it will be easy to destroy him, the entire east. The battlefield knows it.

Murphy Obune's martial arts is really not very good, as long as it is properly arranged, it is too easy to kill Murphy Obune

"In this case, let's discuss how to clean up Murphy Lins first!" Algernon Julia saw Stanley Spencer's flushing face and knew that the other party had already moved, so she said in a deep voice, "Murphy Lins They are the famous heroes of Murphy’s family. Most of the entourages are elite. Among the five hundred people who followed me into the city. Fifty people are the royal knights sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and ten are masters who are good at long-range shooting. They don’t need personal force. Said, loyalty is also reliable. If they can help adults, it will be an honor for them"

"So, I will ask Miss Julia." Stanley Spencer showed confidence on his face, and laughed twice. He couldn't help being excited when he thought of adding hundreds of thousands of powerful Southwestern troops in his hands

Evening of June 11th

The upright guard salutes the person who is coming out "Master Lins!"

"Go to Master Stanley!" Murphy Lins got into the carriage and turned into the east street of the city under the **** of hundreds of Murphy's dragoons.

He had just received an invitation from Stanley Spencer, and the moonlight was bleak. In the lonely and empty street, the horse team drove unhurriedly, and the sign of Murphy's dragon cavalry sword and shield crossing was very conspicuous. The horseshoe stomped on the cold street, and the dim wind lanterns swayed rhythmically. The cold wind is blowing head-on,

The shadow of the sycamore tree whirling beside the road is reflected on his body, and a strand of hair covers his injured forehead. He is still reminiscing about the warmth in the fragrance of beauty. There have been many beauties in the southwest since ancient times. This is the first line of war. , Is also the main hub for visiting the Northwest. Many ethnic groups live together, and the beauty is also like a cloud. Especially in the two months of recuperating, Murphy Lins has engaged with several aristocratic ladies, and his brother Murphy Ob Well, you always need to think about the future of Southwest China. Compared with that, Murphy Lins's thinking is much simpler.

"I hope the news from that guy will not disappoint me!" Murphy Lins shook his head. The reason Stanley Spencer invited him is because a beautiful woman from Kyoto will appear tonight. At Stanley Spencer’s banquet, Algernon Julia, a name that is so popular in Kyoto, is also the dream lover in the hearts of countless young people in Kyoto, his distinguished family background, peerless beauty, and that rumor is enough to be called For the stunningly long neck, it is said that even the emperor was once obsessed with it

"Crack!" The car paused and stopped slowly. Murphy Lins woke up from his comfort and looked up from the car window. What he saw was still a plane tree on the side of the street with a three-way intersection in front of him.

"What's the matter? Why did the car stop?" Murphy Lins felt a little wrong, but soon laughed at himself from the corner of his mouth. This is the capital of the Southwest, and it is his own territory, even if Stanley Spencer wants to do it. What trick? Is it just relying on the dozens of guards he brought back?

A Murphy dragon cavalry officer ran to the carriage window, "My lord, it is the city guard who is strictly checking the curfew for smuggling."

"The city guard checks the curfew for smuggling? What a joke!" Murphy Lins looked out of the car window. The street in front of him was shining with lights. There are indeed many figures in city guard uniforms holding torches shaking. , The sound came from the front, and the city guards were stopping a freight wagon and yelling.

Murphy Lins said with a cold face, "The city guards are getting worse and worse recently. How dare you stop our car? Go take a look and write down the name of their leader."

"Yes, my lord!"

The Murphy Dragon Armor officer saluted, and ran forward on horseback. A cold wind blew by. The sycamore trees on both sides of the street were rustling, and a leaf drifted across the window. Falling in front of my eyes

"Is it just autumn?" Looking at the trail of the falling leaf, Murphy Lins' pupils suddenly shrank, and his body trembled slightly. For a moment, he felt his whole body's cold hair stand up: his eyes swept across the front. , As a result, I realized that everyone's eyes hadn't consciously avoided him, and he had clearly felt that murderous intent was already rippling in the air. As an outstanding military commander's sixth sense, he yelled "Attention!" but It was obviously over. Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night sky. The two parties who were arguing just now suddenly pulled out their weapons at the same time.

The city guard constricted his smiling face and screamed "Do it!"

The sudden change! In the sound of chuckles ~IndoMTL.com~ Numerous figures jumped from the houses on both sides, and the Murphy dragon cavalry holding their horses rolled to the ground together, and drew out their hidden short swords. The dragon cavalry slammed under him, because it was not during the war. The dragon cavalry only wore simple locks. For a time, the sword was shiny, blood was splashed, and the sharp blade smashed into the muscles and bones. In the middle, the exclamation and screams sounded densely.

"Enemy attack!" The dragon cavalry officer who had just gone to interrogate only then realized something was wrong, and hurriedly drew out his weapon and shouted loudly. Before the voice fell, several long swords pierced their bodies at the same time, and blood surged. It choked his throat. His body fell heavily to the ground, and the blood from the big pool stained the ground scarlet.

"Kill Murphy Lins!" The guards in light armor shouted slogans, leaping like a wolf across the road, rushing out of the other forks of the mountain fork, and hundreds of people were defeated at once. Was surrounded by unprepared dragon cavalry guards,

Quickly rushed to the middle of the convoy, a blade of light flickered, countless rapid-moving footsteps glued the blood on the ground,

"Attention, protect your lord!" The eight dragoons in the second row did not have time to mobilize the horses, the wine glass "ch, puff, puff..." A series of screams, a dozen spears pierced them from all directions Pierced them in pairs,

The screams of Guikulanglang's screams made everyone who heard it feel that the roots of the teeth were sour, but the guards did not hear it, they flattened the lancet in their hands, and stabbed them toward the convoy again with all their strength and pulled it out. The stabbing guns were all stained scarlet, and the sticky blood dripped on the ground; (to be continued...)
