Power and Empire Chapter 1652: Horizon (7)

In early July, the Gauls were immersed in the celebration of the first anniversary of the imperial emperor's accession to the throne. Although there was a discordant tone of rebellion in the southwest, the streets and alleys were filled with fire-like enthusiasm. Colorful lights hung high, colored flags fluttered, banners fluttered in the wind, singing and dancing went flat, and people celebrating in various cities held celebrations "Long live the empire" Long live the emperor" The streets are full of various slogans. In a peaceful atmosphere, in the border Rusty area of ​​the border southwest, the young local guard officer Veklock is happily walking up the street. Go to the steps of the defense chief’s office on the second floor,

"Who?" The guard in front reached out and stopped him.

"Well, don’t you recognize me? I’m Veklock from the 3rd garrison!" Veklock looked arrogant, and looked at the guards who stopped him with disdain. The weapons in the guards’ hands made him feel uncomfortable. Without stopping, his sister is the wife of Andres of the local guards, and the brother-in-law of the local guards. In the building of the local guards, he has always walked sideways, because some time ago there was a little The problem, he was sent out to hide for a month. He just came back today and was blocked by someone at his brother-in-law’s base camp. It would be too embarrassing if it spread out.

He looked angrily at the guard who stopped him with a weapon, and felt that he had never seen him before. It should be a rookie who came just now. With such thoughts, Rockwick said threateningly. "Rookie, I don't care where you transferred it from, you should check who I am, otherwise, I will make you unable to eat!"

"Vicklock?" The man who stopped his guards and walked out of a guard captain model, opened a list in his hand and looked at him, then glanced at him with a grim face, and replied, "No need I checked, your name is not on the list of participants. Please go back!"

"What? List of participants! What a joke, I'm Wicklock"

Vicklock looked angry. He didn't expect that he would be slapped in such a naked face. He suddenly yelled angrily, "Find out, Andres of the local garrison is my brother-in-law. You will regret it. , I will give you a good gesture, and then transfer you blind guys to patrol the most dangerous areas."

"Andres of the local guards? Do you have this name?"

The captain of the guard looked at the list in his hand again, grinned slightly, still nothing! But also, officers of this level are not eligible to participate in today's meeting. There is no need to hesitate anymore, he turned impatiently and waved his hand to his subordinates, "Drag him out! If you hear this guy making noise here again, he will be executed right away! The adults above don't want to hear such ignorance. Voice!"

"Execution on the spot!" Wicklock was a little frightened suddenly, until he was thrown out heavily, he didn't find out, in the whole building. There is no one he knows,

"What's wrong? Wicklock looked at the building he used to be familiar with, and he didn't go wrong. This is the building of the local guard group. Isn't it a month away, a guard group of Norwegian University has more than 1,000 people, Did it just evaporate?

In the conference hall on the second floor of the building. A military adjutant with golden hair is pointing at the map on the wall with a wooden whip

"According to the latest intelligence, the northwestern rebels continue to accept the southwestern region, and have already obtained three-quarters of the control of the southwestern region. The total force is about 220,000. According to intelligence, there are still some infantry scattered. The team is gathering to the southwest and may exceed 250,000 in mid-to-late July. The area under our control is in the southwestern capital area with a force of 50,000. The northwestern rebels have adopted encirclement tactics, but they have not launched yet. The storm should be to draw out our reinforcements and eat them in one bite! At present, the other side does not know that our army has arrived in the Rusty area, which is only a river away from the southwest. If our army takes the opportunity to move. The good effect of the surprise attack"

"According to the emperor’s strategic deployment, our Sixth Army will put the Rusty region into combat in the southwest according to the situation!" Hasen Rambo, commander of the Sixth Army of the Gaul Empire, swept across the army participating in the meeting. Generals, open the folder on the desktop in your hands and read the emperor’s orders aloud

He is forty-one years old and wears a pair of gold glasses. If he is not in a straight emperor’s uniform, he is easily reminiscent of the teachers in the school. In the eastern battlefield, his name is completely It doesn't match its appearance, the tiger of Gaul! The Sixth Army under its subordinates totaled 110,000, and 30,000 remained in Imperial Kyoto to participate in the celebration of His Majesty the Emperor. The other 80,000 were divided into six batches and replaced the defense of the Rusty area in accordance with the custom of changing defenses. This is why the place The reason why the guards station suddenly became the army station

The Rusty area was originally the second line of defense deployed by the Empire against the Congolese. Once the southwestern area was breached, the Rusty area was used to block the frontline battlefields of the Congolese soldiers. The well-equipped, spacious barracks, and the large quantities of military rations that have been hoarded all the year round are enough to support the stationing of the 30 troops

"My lord, the emperor said that we choose to attack according to the situation, but when can we attack?"

After listening to Hasen Rampolang and reading the order, a young general who was about twenty-five years old stood up and asked unhappyly, "Our army has been in the Rusty area for half a month. Everyday It’s rest and rest. As far as I know, not only did we receive the order for the Southwest Rebellion, but the Eighth Army also received the order. The two armies add up to more than 200,000 people. Do we still need to be afraid of a group of so-called rebels? ?"

This young general is called Bokasu. He is wearing a general uniform, but the arrogance in his tone gives people a feeling of incompatibility. He can climb up to the position of the imperial general before the age of 30, commanding more than 20,000 people. The troops, this proves that he is not only abilities, but also a background that people can’t ignore.

Seeing Bokasu's questioning, Hasen Rambo’s stern face showed a rare wave of fluctuations, and he whispered, "This playboy, who puts a good Kyoto Imperial Guard adjutant, is improper, and ran to the field army. It’s right for young people to be arrogant, but it also depends on who they are right.

I am the head of the dignified emperor. Even if your grandfather who Bokasu served as the former prime minister of the empire saw him, he can’t be as arrogant as you are.

"General Bokasu of the Fifth Infantry Regiment! The so-called rebels in your mouth have just defeated Stanley Spencer at the Sona River! The empire has paid 100,000 lives for this."

With a bit of irritation. Hasen Rambo said in a bad tone, "If I remember correctly, you used to be Stanley Spencer's deputy after a month of internship in the Eastern Battlefield. In a sense, Stanley Spencer can be regarded as your teacher. Is this your attitude towards the opponent who defeated your teacher?"

"The subordinates are too rude, they are just discussing the matter! Please don't take it seriously!" Bokasu opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, Hasen Rambo, who has never spoken much, was so polite and could only choose to be full. Sit down with a depressed face,

Although he has the name of Kyoto Playboy. But it’s not a silly bag. If a star like Stanley Spencer is defeated, he really has no right to clamor here, and after all, this is Hasen Rambo’s Sixth Army. The name of the Tiger of Gaul is not white. Yes, Hasen Rambo is different from Stanley Spencer who is sleek. The Sixth Army is known as the Tiger Army in the Gaul Corps. It has six infantry regiments under its command. It is very brave in combat. It has an amazing record of more than half of the battle damage and no collapse. Similarly, Hasen Rambo, the commander of the Tiger Army, The external feeling is also as strong as steel. The diehards who don’t make money,

"Then continue to explain the layout of this battle!" Hasen Rambo waved his hand, and the legion adjutant standing on the podium continued to explain the situation,

"That’s all for the arrangement, everyone eat lunch and take a good rest!" At noon, Hasen Rambo closed the plan in his hand and ordered everyone

Unconsciously, the whole morning passed like this, which is really boring! Bokasu sighed slightly. I got up from my seat in disappointment. It was a tiring and helpless meeting. The decision that was just made is still moving as usual! This had to make Bokasu feel bored for a while,

Obviously, you can take the lead. The victory or defeat is determined by the first battle, but now whether it is the Sixth Army or the Eighth Army, it seems that they are holding the idea of ​​waiting for changes, but also, if the current situation becomes clear, the Northwestern rebels will not attack the Southwestern capital. There must be heavy soldiers on the rescue road. Whoever goes first will have to face the Northwest rebels of as many as 200,000 people. /

The leader of the Northwestern rebels, Vicia Falcon, is a commander with the name of a **** of war. Although most of the Gaul generals are not cold with this title, they can defeat an experienced battlefield veteran like Stanley Spencer in one fell swoop. It also proves that this name is not random, at least it is a bit of real material, such an opponent, I am afraid that he has opened his pockets long ago, waiting for someone to drill into it

Through the window, Bokasu saw Hasen Rambo walking upstairs to a carriage parked downstairs and heading away. There was no tension before the war. It is said that this tiger of Gaul had been on the eastern battlefield. The record of not leaving the headquarters for four days, while the other colleagues sat together according to their own relationships, eating special food while laughing and talking. They were all interesting things that happened recently, none of them. Speaking of the Southwest, because everyone knows that the Southwest has become a predicament, it is the same whether you mention it or not

Bokasu uses a fork to separate a grilled crucian carp boringly, and puts the tender and delicate fish in the mouth, which is light and tasteless,

Is this really the front line of the war? Passing through the restaurant’s window, Bokasu looked at the yellow spots of sunlight coming down from the dense leaves. The only calm was the swaying of the leaves caused by the wind. He was in a trance, and occasionally other colleagues laughed and talked in his ears. Voice, it's so quiet here, war is something out of reach!

The Tiger Army is the only one who is most urgent to save the Southwest. Bokasu’s mouth can’t help but smile. Most people think that if the Northwestern rebels can fight with the left-behind troops in the Southwest, they will be exhausted. With a wave of the army, this cheap pick is really nothing to say, but Bokasu can’t just do it. The teacher Stanley Spencer is still in the southwest, and the one he has always loved is said to be trapped in the southwest. This time, thanks to the favor of the adults, I finally arranged to join the Tiger Army responsible for the rescue of the Southwest, seeking a general with real power. If he is careless, Bokasu knows that Hasen Rampo, who has never been very eye-catching to himself, is I had long wished to drive myself away sooner.

Idle and boring, he dipped his hand in the red wine in the glass, dipped a slanted horizontal bar on the table, then clicked a dot on one side of the bar, and said boringly to himself "Even if it is the Ditru Highland as the border, in terms of terrain, it is much higher than Alxa and Alxa, which is also an important border town. If it were me, I would send someone to occupy this place, standing on this plateau, and overlooking the whole. The region, this is the commanding heights of the entire region. If there are enough cavalry troops, enter from here. Hey, I can’t imagine it!"

"What's wrong, my lord Bokasu!"

A middle-aged military officer who was about forty years old came over with his food plate. His gray hair did not match the face of his jīng god.

Winken. The adjutant of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Gaul Sixth Army, that is to say, he is an adjutant of Bokasu, with young and old. Winken has a good reputation in the Sixth Army, although his combat ability is not good. But he is sincere in his work and has rich experience in handling affairs.

"Nothing, just a little boring self-entertainment!"

Bokasu saw the old Winken approaching, smiled on his face, and scratched out the boring things he had drawn on the table without knowing that he was missing a life-and-death war. As he crossed out these graphics, he was still thinking, how could it be possible? Unless the Northwestern rebels take the initiative to attack, ignoring the possibility of facing back and forth from the enemy, such a situation can happen. Of course, if the opponent does this, the garrison that has been replaced by the Gaul sharp troops will give it a fierce counterattack. At that time, 200,000 troops of the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army swarmed, and the Northwestern Rebels had no other possibility other than being annihilated and defeated.

Dutru Heights

The sunlight of Jin Sè slowly penetrated the clouds, and the earth was bathed in vibrant sunlight. The highland weeds stretch their bodies comfortably in the morning breeze, while the unknown wild flowers absorb sunlight and air and moisture under the sunshine, so that they can grow taller and stronger, and can see higher and better. Far, the time to stay in this world is even longer.

On the right side of the ruined Fort Ditruu. The black smoke rising up in the air seemed very abrupt and out of place. The entire city wall was littered with scattered stones and rubble. The blackened city surface was a mess, and charred corpses abound.

The majestic fortress that once guarded the highlands, under the sudden onslaught of more than 60,000 Falcons, was beaten in just half a day, leaving only the burning ruins. The original 5-meter-high city wall was neatly turned into two black and white paragraphs. Fortunately, the remaining half of the city wall was also scorched black by the smoke formed by the violent burning of the incendiary bomb,

Under the root of the wall, there is still a flame burning, emitting a thick black smoke. The arrow towers on the city walls are the main focus of care. Whether it is the watchtowers protruding from the four corners of the fortress or the more than ten arrow towers built temporarily, they all collapsed in several rounds of bombardment

Under the blue sky, a slightly chilly autumn wind swept across Fatty’s stern face, riding on a majestic horse that matches his identity, and his black Demon King’s armor flashed in the sun. Similar to the luster of the ghost, more than a dozen cavalry with black armor all lined up behind him, and the falcon battle flag shook the horse behind them.

"Your Majesty, Rudit Highland Fortress annihilated 2,314 of the enemy's defenders, and the enemy has been cleared." Saron rushed forward from the front, rolled over in front of the fat man, got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to report. , Without paying attention to the quagmire that has not dried up just now because of the end of the rainy season,

"Pop" When he knelt, half of his leg was in the mud. The muddy water exploded in all directions, but he didn't even frown his eyebrows. Behind him, a group of people were wearing black. The falcon cavalry of the first swept across the low highland field in front of them like water, and the thick black smoke went straight up into the sky from the center of the fortress.

On the top of the broken fortress, a Gaul garrison flag was chopped off by the soldiers. The broken battle flag was like a broken kite flying in the bright sunshine

On July 11, 30,000 Falcon cavalry rushed into the Rusty area bordering the southwest with a surprise attitude. In the early morning, in the slight morning light, the flag of the Falcon light cavalry appeared like a ghost on the moving high. In front of a hundred-man patrol on the border of the Eighth Army of Rwanda, the patrol of the Eighth Army of Gaul was stunned.

The horseshoe rumbling, the wind roaring, and the mighty power, a cavalry in black armor swooped down the hill like an avalanche, and a thousand shining sabers kicked down with thunder-like horseshoes, countless bright The sword shone with a dazzling white light,

"Northwestern Rebels!"

The patrol officer just came to shout out, and was overwhelmed by the swift impact of thousands of black cavalry. Within one thousand, ten thousand squads were responsible for harassing the hundreds of falcon cavalry. People have learned what is coming and going like wind. The commander of the Gaul Eighth Army quickly issued orders to the troops stationed in different places, but the Falcon Army’s assault was too sudden. The flames of war were fully ignited in one rì, and the side corresponds to Rudit. The Eighth Army in the Highlands paid a price of more than 1,000 people that day. Six main infantry regiments dressed as local garrison regiments were attacked at the same time, which made the commander of the Eighth Army jump on the spot

"Asshole~IndoMTL.com~ immediately figure out the specific number of enemies!"

The commander of the Gaul Eighth Army was unable to mobilize troops in time to respond to the sudden flank attack. The troops from all sides were reporting attacks, and they were completely frightened by the light cavalry roaring past the camp.

There was a unit dressed up as a local garrison. It even encountered six attacks in one night and was fighting almost overnight.

The general of this army thought he was surrounded by the enemy’s main cavalry, and almost did not order to give up the defensive line and move closer to the headquarters of the legion. Because of the complete confusion, the Eighth Army could only order the attacked. The troops defend themselves.

When the morning light rises from the horizon the next day, 20,000 Falcon zhōngyāng cavalry who secretly crossed the Eighth Army’s defense line have already been under the city of Lacey, the largest grain-producing area in the Rusty region.

In front of me is the endless and breathtaking golden wheat waves. Now it is July when the harvest is about to be harvested, and the earth will be yellow in autumn.

"It's a pity!" Salong's muddy one-eyed swept across Jin Sè, cold-blooded eyes trembled, and finally raised his hand and shouted "Ignition!",
