Power and Empire Chapter 1660: Grid (5)
It is quiet in the brightly-lit corridor, and in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the high spires of the four-corner towers and the roofs of the central and central buildings, golden. Some sunlight passes through the lattice glass of the roof and falls on the wall diagonally below the room. It becomes a colorful pattern with spots of light. It is like an empty theater with silent movies playing in the dark. Several imperial university workers The attendants were wearing traditional black robes, standing in front of the steps and talking, or walking slowly, a few pigeons flew up, flew over the open space and buildings in front, and circled the far end of the city square. , Fly back again. Or fall on the exquisite sculpture on the pillars of the wall, or fall on the side of the fountain, making a cooing sound
In the corridor, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. There are hundreds of guard knights wearing royal seal armors. The gorgeous armors carry the majesty of the royal family.
Each guard knight is carefully selected, handsome and energetic, behind him is a dazzling red cloak, standing there, like a pleasing scenery, the entire corridor seems to be immersed in mortal dust In the different planes of the world, time passes slowly.
The young emperor Gaul turned his back on his back, his eyes wandering on the mural in the corridor. This is a familiar oil painting of the Battle of Elsa, painted in the nave corridor near the side door of the second academic and research office. It describes three More than a hundred years ago, the most important battle before the establishment of the Gaul Empire,
In the middle of every month, this place will be closed. The Emperor of the Empire will personally come here to appreciate all kinds of famous paintings. Since three years ago, this has been an open secret of the Imperial University, but no one knows it. Actually His Majesty's eyes did not pay attention to the priceless picture scroll hanging on the wall of the corridor hall, but only stayed in front of an unsurprising mural for an hour or two. In the neatly-paved marble courtyard outside the corridor, several high-ranking officers of the Imperial Guard were gathered together and whispered,
Two teams of guard knights stood quietly at the side door, and dozens of guards guarding the surrounding body were straight and not squinting.
The atmosphere here is a bit solemn. The faces of these senior generals in the courtyard were not very good-looking. While talking in a low voice, they looked up the corridor from time to time. When it comes to moving, it’s just a pale face,
The battle report from the southwestern part of the empire has arrived. Since the defeat of the Battle of Sona River, the Gaul Eighth Army, which was secretly transferred from the eastern battlefield to fight in the southwest, also suffered heavy losses. The 110,000 troops, in just ten days or so, were beaten by the Northwest rebels. A, not only the battle damage reached 70,000 people, but even the commander of the army, He Baili, died in this battle. He was originally controlled by the Rusty area in the hands of the empire. Because of the loss of half of the battle, the battle situation can be described as a sudden turn for the worse. /
The news of , like a rock falling into the water, immediately caused an uproar in the entire Gaul army*
The Vikya Falcon in the northwest has once again become famous, surpassing the Slavs raging in the northern part of the empire, and has become the most popular topic in Gaul and Kyoto. At the age of twenty-five years old, he has a huge army that is invincible. , Invincible, and invincible, this rising power that suddenly appeared in the northwest, in just six months, almost swallowed the empire’s nearly 300,000 troops, leading to the already somewhat declining Gaul Empire. It is becoming more and more stretched
His Majesty the Emperor immediately summoned Lada Bisso, the undersecretary of the new military department, and the officers and royal family members of the Gallic military were in Kyoto anxiously inquiring about all news related to the northwest. , The 200,000 Gallic army fell on the northwestern rebels! Since the battle between the two heroes sixty years ago, Gaul has not suffered such a large loss for a long time. Even in the previous war with the Chinese and the Belarusians, the number of people lost in the battle was only 150,000, with 200,000 troops. ! That is not a regional dispute, but a battle between empires and empires
No one can believe that this is true, but whether it is a series of news from the western part of the empire, or the unanimous silence of the Imperial Military Department on this matter, it really shows its truthfulness.
The current generals of the Gaul Military Department have been busy. The Eighth Army collapsed, and the Sixth Army independently supported the Western War. The Eighth Army collapsed too suddenly, no matter how smart or experienced, No matter how imaginative the imperial general, holding a map of the battle situation at the time, looking at the comparison of the forces of the two sides, he could not calculate a result close to the truth from the deduction.
is incredible, everyone who has reviewed the report thinks so,
But when they think from the perspective of Hebaili, one by one they will feel that if they are Hebaili, in the unclear situation where the two main infantry regiments were maimed in a large-scale cavalry raid. , In order to avoid the enemy’s edge and try to reduce losses, it will also issue orders to strengthen defenses and not to fight at will,
The opponent is undoubtedly taking advantage of this. The opponent advances too fast, like a lightning bolt across the sky,
In just 11 days when no one could react, it launched a precise and very effective cutting tactic on the Eighth Army. It was like a big net, which completely entrapped the Eighth Army, and then beheaded and beheaded cleanly. It's like a sword taking the head of an enemy commander among thousands of troops.
has never encountered such a fierce enemy. When all the arrangements are inferred, all the Gaul generals have cold sweat on their foreheads. This tactic has never been encountered before, and it is neither an orthodox corps face-to-face confrontation. It is not the usual harassment and destruction, but a conspiracy that people cannot defend against,
The reorganized army of 110,000 people was hit by the opposing cavalry and turned into a sieve. Because of fear, they were all nailed to the spot. It was so dazed by the enemy that only 10,000 people were used. The core position of the 100,000 army has taken the headquarters of the entire army!
Everyone’s feeling is like seeing a porcupine from the combat diagram. With a stab, he rushed into the forest and slapped the tiger. Taking advantage of the tiger's stupefaction, the porcupine turned into a lion and went straight to it. "Turning the Tiger" is really changing too fast, first virtual and then real, like a phantom-like attack, suddenly revealed a killing blow, it is really dazzling! Only a dozen days of work, an empire of 100,000 people The main force was erased in this way, and the Ministry of Military Affairs held a meeting overnight and urgently issued an order to send reinforcements to the area near Rusty.
His Majesty the Emperor also ordered the assignment of the Sixth Army’s Hasenland Polasti area commander. As long as Hasenlandpo needs it, resources and patients in the entire Rusty area can be deployed at will, in order to support the tense situation in Ras as soon as possible. Area,
The staff officers of the Military Affairs Department became red eyes one by one in order to dispatch, and the transfer orders were issued like running water. The local garrisons in various places began to continuously pull towards the Rusty area. It is undeniable. The rule of the Gaul Empire for more than 300 years is extraordinary. With all mobilization, the number of local troops is very objective
is, after all, a great empire that has ruled the northern part of Obaro for more than 100 years. Once it becomes operational, the war potential displayed is amazing. The local army received the order has 11 infantry regiments, the combat effectiveness is not good, and the number is The difference is uneven, but the main point is that the number is enough, you ten thousand, mine five thousand, and soon formed a considerable force in the Rusty area.
Everyone can feel that this northwest counter-insurgency is evolving into a huge storm that shakes the entire western part of the empire. First, the northwest is out of the control of the empire, then the southwest, and now it’s Rusty again. In two months, the army and energy that the empire lost in the west was accumulated over a hundred years.
One-fifth of the empire is being separated from the empire. This situation is no longer dangerous to describe. All the Gaul soldiers are paying attention to the western part of the empire. Everyone can faintly feel that it is related to Gaul. The decisive battle of the century-old national destiny is coming
"Your Majesty, Rusty Urgent Military Report!" A carriage drove quickly into the side yard. A royal guards officer jumped off, and the officers who were on the scene nodded, and then strode towards the corridor. His Majesty the Emperor staring at the strokes walked.
"It's the Rusty area again, I hope it won't get worse!"
The gazes of the generals followed the guard officer into the corridor. The young figure standing still in front of the mural with his hands on his back has gathered too many eyes at this moment. The war in the west has already shaken the country. His every move will represent the destiny of thousands of creatures. The generals knew that there would be a counterattack on the side of Rusty soon. His Majesty the Emperor even came here one more time for this. His Majesty wants to pray here for the war ahead
"How is it?" The young emperor felt the officer's arrival, looked away from the mural, and turned around
"Your Majesty, there has been a violent hunger in the Rusty region*, and it has spread to five cities. The Hasenrambo believes that if there is not enough food delivered, these areas will eventually evolve into a full-scale violence*!" The guard officer stood at attention and replied with a serious look
"Violence*? It's really surprising!" The young emperor picked up the report, glanced at it, and muttered to himself with some solemnity.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"There are so many people!" A black carriage was traveling on the road, and the fat man put his hands on the curtain of the car window, looking through the car window to see the scene outside, thousands of hungry people along the road. The road drained more than ten miles long, because there were too many hungry people. Even a carriage guarded by fifty guards cavalry was delayed for an entire hour at the gate before entering the inner city area. These hungry people were more hungry. Regions are all urban areas that have just been taken over,
The border between the two sides is not specifically defined. It was originally an area of war. The lines of defense on both sides are intertwined. In the Rusty area controlled by the Falcons, the number of hungry people is also increasing. This is an expected storm. , But unexpectedly interrupted the tension between the two sides. A large number of hungry people blocked the road, so that both sides had no choice. The Sixth Army took the opportunity to remedy the defects in the line of defense, and the Falcon Army was also unable to do so. Keep preparing to launch an offensive
Through this gap, Fatty decided to meet with local power representatives. Although the army is strong, the control time is too short. In addition, if you want to suppress the occupied area for a short time, you can reduce the conflict as much as possible. The combination of the two is the inevitable way. Facts have also proved that at any time, local forces developed on the basis of the local area are like a wall of grass, and with the presence of a business alliance, they soon expressed their willingness to surrender to the Falcon Empire.
Wallet, the leading figure of the local forces, was waiting for the fat man’s arrival in the government affairs hall in the city. There were a dozen people like him. Most of them knew each other. After looking at each other, all Everyone kept silent very tacitly
As a Gaul noble with the status of a viscount, Wallett’s appearance is not at all in touch with the nobility, and his fat body is 1.9 meters high. Sitting on the sofa is like a mountain bear with a mane. His eyes are very thin. If you don’t look hard, you can hardly see where his pupils are. It feels like you can’t figure out the details. He has been waiting for the other party for 2 hours in the government affairs office, which has never happened before. thing. Even before, no one has treated him so arrogantly
But at this moment, he didn’t dare to show any impatience. Vekia Falcon, the emperor of the emerging Falcon Empire, such a character, can feel trembling even if he thinks about it, and he can get this just now. After defeating the reception of the hero of the Gaul Empire, Wallright can already foresee what kind of future will be waiting for him. The other party needs someone who can help him rule, and he also needs a big tree this time. The one who joined him was a deacon of the business alliance, who was mainly responsible for the affairs of the northwest coast. Only those who had really come into contact with the power of the business alliance would know how powerful this alliance is. Walllet almost agreed to such a request without hesitation
Others are roughly the same as him. In the eyes of the underground time, there is only interest, but they don’t pay much attention to the concept of the country. The Falcons are crushed by force, and the Gaul army is crushed like a mountain. Isn’t the local power experiencing it? Under the turmoil of the **** storm, under the thunder of the army, Shunchang rebelled against death
The carriage stopped at the gate of the interior hall. The fat man got out of the carriage and raised his head. A cool damp breeze rushed over his face. He took a deep breath, his mind cleared, and he went with him. The cavalry guards stopped their horses, and the guard posts were densely packed from the steps of the Interior Hall, watching everything around them vigilantly.
It’s rare for a fat man to walk up the steps in a heavy armor. He has long heard that the Falcon Army is now called the "Devil Army" by the Gauls. For such a title, the fat man doesn’t mind, the devil on him. The armor is also full of blood and violence from top to bottom. The armor pieces are all made of stainless steel, with a gloomy luster shining in the pitch black.
" Your Majesty! "The two captains of the guards, each with their cavalry, knelt down on one knee at the entrance of the interior hall,
"Are you ready?" The fat man asked with a cold face.
"Everyone has arrived!" The captain of the guard replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty’s breakfast is also ready!"
"Bring those people here, I don't have much time, I'm seeing them at breakfast!" The fat man thought for a moment, strode into the door, and casually added "Licante wine!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard nodded quickly and quickly turned away.
The place where the fat man eats breakfast is in a Guangping area of the Government Affairs Office, because there are too many people to meet. In addition to local figures, there are also some regional lords in the Rusty region, who are directly under the jurisdiction of the Gaul Emperor Regions, these lords
The strength is not strong, at most it can be regarded as the manor level, the main task is not combat, but management, helping the emperor of Gaul manage his own industry, this is the product of a system unique to Gaul, slaves Official system, in Gaulu Di
For the country, the emperor also has his own slaves. These slaves work in the emperor’s own manor, so the property of the empire and the property of the inner court are completely different.
Fatty sees these first
The owner of the manor, although he is humble, he belongs to the Emperor Gaul after all. These manor owners were caught in a cell by the Falcon soldiers and locked up for several days before the horror of the war was alleviated. Drive it out, it’s a black one
There were hundreds of people kneeling on the muddy ground. 20 guard cavalry in armor and armed with weapons patrolled around them on horseback. On the grass tens of meters away, a blazing bonfire was burning. ,
The fat man took a sip of wine in silence. The red wine is very reminiscent. The fat man can see these private properties belonging to the Emperor of Gaul shivering.
"I hope that there will be no models of loyal ministers here!" The fat man waved his hand feeling a little boring~IndoMTL.com~The disposal of these manor owners is a bit troublesome, and those who can serve the emperor of Gaul, among them are not Few people have agricultural expertise
The title of the family, these people gathered the agricultural technology of the entire Gaul Empire. Even if it is relatively backward, there are still some places to learn from. After all, the land characteristics of Obaro are still very different from Ikadiva.
" This is your last chance. "The fat man looked serious and held up the tall glass and stretched it aside. A captain of the guard immediately picked up the bottle and poured half of it. The bright red wine was like blood." I "The patience is very limited." The fat man took a sip, and the wine spilled a little at the corner of his mouth. "Now you have two choices, one is to be loyal to the Emperor of Gaul, and the other is to serve me!"
"Yes, yes, we are willing to serve adults." When the fat man heard the words, most people immediately kowtow like a chicken pecking rice, completely ignoring the muddy face, crying bitterly, but there are also more than a dozen Personally, with a cold face, this
Let the fat man’s heart sink slightly. Sure enough, there are still people like this. He looked at the dozen or so people who didn’t show any signs, and checked the list in his hand, five gardeners and six agricultural experts. what!
"Those who are willing can go, someone will take care of you!" The fat man waved his hand blankly, and soon dispersed most of the people. The fat man glanced over the dozen or so people who insisted on staying behind. What does it mean, (to be finished
