Power and Empire Chapter 1669: Empire vs. Empire (8)

"My lord, you have stayed up all night!" Andalyn, the Legion Adjutant in the blue uniform of Gaulu Di** walked into the room and opened the window of the closed room. A ray of golden sunlight brought freshness outside the window. The air comes in from outside,

Gaul’s Sixth Army Commander Hasen Rambo raised his head from the military map. His face was exhausted and his eyes were bloodshot. His self-disciplined style made him look thin, but he was not a weak one. , But a very strong, hard feeling, like a hammer, full of tension and strength,

The height of 1.8 meters, curly hair of linen, and neat shoulders with the star mark of the commander of the Gaul army hung on his shoulders. Although he is middle-aged, he still carries something that does not belong to this year. Years old and delicate, with a pair of domineering eyes, the person being watched feels like a real icy cold from the heart. This is a natural reaction that has been accustomed to life and death for many years, but when he saw Andalin, the empire There is still a rare trace of warmth in the star’s cold eyes,

There are not too many sloppy things, just a kind of care for the younger generation from the elders,

Andalin is the daughter of his best friend, the Marquis of Anda. She is 21 years old, born in the famous Anda, and graduated from Imperial University. She has a pair of tea eyes, an absolute beauty, and the sun shines on her natural golden brown show. Fa, the blue sè and ivory sè mainly designed the simple adjutant uniforms, which also looked gorgeous because of her. At the beginning, the Sixth Army, known as the "Imperial Tiger Army", experienced many **** battles on the eastern battlefield. As the commander of the Tiger Army, Hasen Rambo almost fell to death several times.

If it weren’t for Andalin’s father, Marquis Anda’s last desperate death, Hasen Rambo would have been surrounded by the Chinese and Piranhas for a while

According to the traditions of the Chinese people, the Chinese people who always pay attention to etiquette still retain a very cruel custom, which is to tie their enemies to the graves of their relatives, open their stomachs, and worry about them. Digging the lungs is considered revenge. There are countless numbers of Central and Bianya who died in Hasen Rambo's hands, and there are so many nobles in Central and Bianya who can't wait to eat his flesh, and there is even a high-ranking deputy in the Central and Bianbian army who offered him a bounty of 100,000 gold coins. Hasen Rambo's head

"How's the situation on the left wing?" Hasen Rambo glanced at Andalyn who was sorting out the desk files. He didn't know what he was thinking, and asked.

"It’s not ideal. I heard that the counterattack caused a lot of casualties. Master Glaida has re-adjusted the attack strategy. I believe there will be good news soon! The teacher should take a rest first. Yesterday’s one night was already open. Emergency meeting. The adult industry has re-arranged troops, I believe there will be no major problems, but your body is really..."

"It's just a little old injury. Compared with the current crisis, it is really nothing!" Hasen Rambo stretched out his waist pretending to be relaxed, and there was a burst of needles from the left rib. The pain makes his **** look a little unnatural,

Andalin's voice stopped, and her words stopped cautiously. He muttered, "When I set off, the lady specifically explained that the autumn cold was attacking, and the old injuries on the teacher's body had already been faintly onset. If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid it will cause more serious consequences."

"It seems that I am really old!"

Hassenrimpo sighed inwardly. It was a battle in the east. The torn wound formed after being hit by the archers of Central and Biyadh with arrow clusters, although the sharp arrow was taken out, Hasen Rambo was also hit by a strong impact and broke three skeins. If it weren’t just blocked by the ribs, this sharp arrow would have pierced his spleen. At the time of the fiercest battle, Hasen Rambo, the commander of the Imperial Tiger Army, gritted his teeth and asked the guards to wrap them in rags. , Come to the front-line commander again,

Waiting for victory, it is already five or six days later. The wound is already **** and bloody. Fortunately, in the cold winter, the wound did not become inflamed. In the end, it is healed, and it will be faint when the weather is cold. The root of the pain

There are more than a dozen wounds like this on Hasen Rambo, all of which are left over from previous battles.

"Dangerous situation? What does the teacher mean...?"

A flash of astonishment flashed across Andalin’s pretty face. In fact, she was not very clear about the situation on the front line. This was not an era where information could be quickly conveyed. It would take more than a day for the cavalry to reach the base camp from the left, so Anda Lin hasn’t figured out what's going on on the left wing until now. The only thing she knows is that the center of gravity of the left wing has lost the fortress of Burrì. The head of the left wing, Gleda, is gathering hundreds of thousands of troops on the left wing to counter the fortress of Burrì. >

The battle is fierce, with numerous casualties!

She has been with Hasen Rambo for 2 years and has experienced the cruelty of the Sino-Bahia war. She is very clear about what it means to appear in the military newspaper. There is no one-fifth battle damage, no such command. The official society uses such ominous terms. One-fifth of the 180,000 left-wing army is more than 30,000. In just one day, 30,000 casualties. Such a figure is indeed a little scary. It is no wonder that the teacher industry has exposed. I have never had a sense of decadence. Even in the face of the more than 100,000 Chinese and Biyaan troops that came from the siege, the teacher calmly dealt with it, but this time, it is only a fortress in Bururi. Does it need to be so nervous?

"This time, it was not only the left wing that was shaken, but the entire Rusty line!" Looking at Andalyn, who was confused, Hasenlandpo smiled bitterly. "The situation is very complicated now, and he said for a while. I don’t know, to put it simply, the left-wing Buru Fortress is lost. If we can’t take it back in a short time, our battle will take a sharp turn. The Northwestern Rebels will tear open the gap from the left wing, just like they did with the Eighth Army. To completely blast us into the abyss, this battle of Rusty gathered an empire’s 300,000 troops. It can be said that the local army in the rear province was completely emptied.

"Have you ever thought about what it means for the dozens of provinces in the hinterland of the empire that is almost neutral if Rusty's line of defense is lost! "Hassenrambo's voice stopped, his face closed his eyes ugly" Northwest Rebel The army will devour these defenseless provinces! But our Gaul Empire has no force capable of blocking its front, unless the Imperial Guards in Kyoto are mobilized, but you and I are all aware of the personnel involved in the mobilization of the Imperial Guards. How complicated it is. For hundreds of years, the great tree of the Imperial Guard has been integrated into the wealthy families in Kyoto, and the internal relations are intertwined. It is no longer an army that was only extremely loyal to the royal family. If you want to mobilize the Imperial Guard. Even the emperor’s presence will be difficult!"

"How could this be?" Andalyn's beautiful eyebrows twisted. In her mind, the empire was strong and invincible, but the situation in front of her showed that the empire was not what she expected. It’s just thin Xishan,

"Get ready, I need to go to the left wing myself!"

Hassen Rambo stood up and straightened his collar. He took a deep breath and made up his mind to say, "The Fourth Infantry Regiment and the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Central Defense Corps will go with me. Taking advantage of the fact that the northwestern rebels have not stabilized on the left flank, we cannot let the fate of the empire go with time. A little bit slipped away from our waiting, no matter what the result, I must do something!"

In the morning light, the battle flag of the Gaul Sixth Army roared in the wind, and the two temporarily assembled main infantry regiments advanced to the left. Because they are both the regular Gaul army, the two infantry regiments have a strength of close to 40,000. According to Hasen Rambo’s estimate, they should be able to reach the Buru battlefield in the afternoon. Both sides should be very tired at that time, and the investment of forty thousand fresh troops can just regain the Bururì Fortress, which is a pity. He soon discovered that he had overlooked a huge mistake,

The troops that the forward opened their way stopped just as they entered the left-wing area, accompanied by the clang of the troops. With the sound of the car, Anda Linlin, who followed Hasen Rambo, saw an unforgettable scene,

"It's a refugee!" Andalyn looked forward stunned, and the flow of people who couldn't see the end was like a long dragon, rolling in from the east, all the way to the west. These people drove a carriage full of large boxes and small boxes. Some people were panting and carrying all their belongings, some were empty and did not carry anything, the poor old man drove two lambs staggering; a woman holding a child in one hand and a heavy luggage in the other hand trekking **** the road, falling down, children Weeping and crying in her arms, my mother was sobbing, and people kept passing by, but no one reached out to help and help,

Deep suffering has made people’s hearts selfish and numb. Everyone’s eyes are blank and dull: they have lost their homes, land, and protection. In addition to civilians, many of them are soldiers.

"A bunch of bastards, cowards!"

The soldier who broke his leg limped on crutches while cursing. His companion had left him alone; on the side of the road, a muddy and bloodied officer sat on the ground and kept begging loudly." Please, take me away! My leg is broken! Please!" People strode past him, and no one stopped. Until his vocal cords were torn apart, he cried silently, grabbing the grass on the ground with his hands, struggling and crawling a little bit like a bug, and there were many healthy soldiers who were already ashamed. He took off his armor and walked with his head drooping and pretending to be a civilian,

"Catch one and ask what is going on?"

Hassenrambo’s face is sèyīn, and the defeated army in front of him is obviously left-wing local troops. This group of unqualified guys are vying for the benefits. Once there is an unfavorable situation, they will immediately flee. It is better to say that they are soldiers than a group of speculators. These people are really a shame to the soldiers!

Soon, a man with the appearance of a bloodstained officer was brought over by the guards

"What are you doing? Are you fleeing collectively?" Hasen Rambo rode on the horse, staring coldly at this scared and trembling officer,

"No, this lord, we just moved closer to the right!" Hearing Hasen Rambo's murderous words, the officer shuddered, and the **** said in a panic, "We are all from the Bururì Fortress. The troops who withdrew from the front were broken up and many adults died. We can only choose to evacuate to the right spontaneously!"

"Buru Fortress?" Hasen Rambo's eyebrows furrowed slightly. No, did the counterattack at Burrum Fortress fail? How long did it take now that the hundreds of thousands of left-wing forces have collapsed like this? What the **** is Gleda doing?

"Where is Glenda, the head of the left wing?" Hasen Rambo asked with gritted teeth

"The little one really didn’t know. There were too many dead people. The corpses covered the flat ground under the Burrì Fortress. The little one ran out of the pile of corpses after taking advantage of the darkness at night. From the blood-stained situation, it didn’t look like telling lies. In the end, a wounded soldier told Hasen Rimbaud that the left-wing army was completely defeated under the Bururì Fortress, and the base camp had been evacuated fifty miles away from the Bururì Fortress. Anta River Land,

"Go to Anta River!"

Hassenlandpo’s face was as cold as frost, and there was a scene of turmoil along the way. A large number of refugees moved along the road, crowded with chariots, and the noise was deafening. The refugees, the army was defeated, and the local nobles in the country were in chaos. The formation of the infantry regiments in several places I encountered has already been broken. Because of the lack of unified command, a group of local armies ran around like a group of headless flies. They started to gather after seeing the signs of the Sixth Corps.

When Hasen Rambo collected all the way along the way, when he arrived at the Anta River Land, where the left-wing base camp is located. It has gone from 40,000 to 60,000, and more than 20,000 people have been added. However, compared with the collapse of the hundreds of thousands of left-wing forces, this amount of force compensation is really insignificant, and these local troops are still panicking. As long as I heard the sound of wind and vibration, my face paled in fear, and I didn't know that I was under the fortress of Burur. What terrible blows did these local troops encounter?

The reinforcements of the Sixth Army arrived in the fortress area of ​​Anta River Land. In a room inside, he met Godalai, the haggard left-wing leader, who was a newcomer in the emperor's world. At this moment, his whole body shrank into a ball, his shoulders trembling, and he shrank into the corner of the wall and buried his face in his hands, his pupils clearly dilated. Look dull,

"How could this happen!"

Haselen Lambo looked at Gleda and took a breath, and saw Gleda's first glance. He knew that the jīng **** of this empire's famous general had already collapsed. Although he may not be crazy, he must be unable to continue his command.

"What the **** happened? Glenda, answer me!' Hasen Rambo angrily kicked Glenda's thigh." Don't think that you can escape punishment from the Ministry of Military Affairs, 180,000 troops. ! It's enough to kill you eight times! "Gleda held her head in her hands, her face was terribly pale, her nose and drooling face, her eyes were hollow and full of fear, she looked at Hasen Rambo as if she was looking at an unknown stranger, her mouth uttered Hearing voices of pain

"My lord stopped. Master Gladda didn’t want to do this too!" The captain of Gladda’s guard next to him quickly explained, "My lord tried to commit suicide just now, but it was stopped by us. That's it!"

"Trash, you shouldn't believe any nonsense about you at the beginning!" Hasen Rambo stopped and turned to the captain of the guard "What the **** is going on at the Burrì Fortress,

"Our army pounced on the Bururì Fortress, and encountered a strong counterattack from the northwestern rebels, with heavy casualties! More than a dozen infantry regiments were blown to pieces, or they were turned into hornet nests, and the army appeared at that time. "The captain of the personal guard said with a painful expression." Master Gladda had no choice but to personally supervise the battle, but at this moment the cavalry of the northwestern rebels suddenly broke out. Our army could no longer stop the defeat, and the local army even more. It's a litter, if it weren't for Master Gleida to lead the army behind, blocking the onslaught of the opposing cavalry, I'm afraid there will be no one tenth of the troops that can be withdrawn from the Bururì Fortress alive!"

"How many troops are still able to fight?" After listening to the process, Hasen Rambo blinked his eyes in pain, "The 3 infantry regiments are already the limit! This is because these 3 infantry regiments belong to the base camp." Hurriedly said, "Because it was the fleeing of the entire army, the base camp has lost contact with other infantry regiments. At present, there should be about half of its troops."

"Where's the Northwestern Rebels?" Hasen Rambo asked mercilessly. The captain of the guard changed his face, and finally said very helplessly, "There should be less than 10,000 casualties!" /

"Less than 10,000 casualties!" Hasen Rambo felt his feet soft. He already had a foreboding that the situation at the Battle of Burrì Fortress was not good, but he did not expect to lose so miserably. A whole hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten and collapsed, and the opponent didn't even lose 10,000 people. This is a battle, it's a unilateral slaughter! If you still had the strength and local superiority on your side before, now it has been completely reversed by the opponent,

"Order all troops to withdraw from the left wing!" Hasen Rambo was silent for a while and decisively ordered

"Giving up the left wing? That's not the same as..." Andalen next to him made a flustered voice. Before setting off, the teacher said how important the left wing is, but at this moment, he gave up in one sentence?

"If you don’t give up, will you let more people die here?" Hasenlandpo smiled bitterly. "If there is a bit of choice~IndoMTL.com~How can I be willing to give up the extremely important left wing, but the current situation Obviously unable to hold the left wing,

Instead of continuing to fill up the impossible areas, it is better to shrink the defense line. The urban areas in the north of Rusti are basically right-wing areas.

The left-wing area is a mountain and plateau. Because of this, both sides are interested in the convenience of the left-wing.

If you are attacking urban areas, you must attack one city by city. This is not in line with the strategic purpose of seeking breakthroughs in the shortest time.

Furthermore, I don’t know why, I have a faint feeling that the opponent’s strength should increase, and it will increase by a large margin. If you continue to stay on the left flank, it’s a dead end! "

"What, will the strength of the northwestern rebels increase?"

Everyone was shocked, but it was the famous Hasen Rambo who said this, and no one dared to refute it.

"Don’t forget, the opponent took the initiative to attack Rusty, in fact, to cut off the southwest! From the beginning, the opponent didn’t try their best." Hasen Rambo raised his head and looked towards the vast sky outside, the corner of his mouth slowly bitterly Said
