Power and Empire Chapter 1867: Tilan Rebellion (2)

Wearing a blue-red velvet armor, the Marquis of Gia climbed to the head of Vernon City under the protection of six guards. The mess in front of him made his eyebrows slightly frowned. The collapsed position of the city gate affected part of the city wall. Fortunately, this one The huge crack is just right at the shooting angle of Vernon Seventeen Iron Guards. It’s a blessing in misfortune.

The so-called Vernon Seventeen Iron Guards refers to the four walled areas of Vernon City. The seventeen large pillars and one hundred arch arrow towers are constructed entirely of huge conjoined stones. Vernon City is not a large city. A hundred and fifty years ago, it was built as the seven acropolis of Kyoto, and as the gateway connecting the hinterland of Kyoto to the north. More than half of Vernon’s defense power relies on these seventeen large and strong arrow towers. !"

The Marquis of Guia breathed a sigh of relief, angrily ordered to the guard behind him, holding the frozen battlements in his hand, his eyes sternly swept across the Tillandsian Legion lined up in front of Vernon,

Although I was prepared inside, I was shocked by the sight in front of me and took a breath.

My God, how many people are this!

The Marquis de Gea shook his body in fright, and saw that the entire line of troops in front could not see the end. It continued from the side of the ridge to the side of the order. The spear was like a forest, the armor was like snow, and a force of pressure was on his face. Come, I really surprised the Marquis of Gea, when was the empire that was already in a precarious state, and there was such a huge army!

"No wonder, no wonder Tielan has a heart of rebellion!"

The Marquis of Guia swallowed hard. Ask yourself, if you control such a huge army, you will do the same. In the troubled times, whoever controls the power is the winner. His shaking lasted only three seconds. I thought that once Vernon was betrayed by Tielan. The army broke through, and Kyoto and his family would be plunged into a catastrophe. The Marquis of Gia gritted his teeth. Pretending to be calm, he drew out his sword and shouted at the same pale-faced soldiers around

"You guys, what is behind us is not Imperial Kyoto, but your parents, wives and children, and your family. If you let the rebels enter, everyone will be finished. I have asked Kyoto for help. It only takes three hours. In three hours, reinforcements will be able to arrive!" The Marquis de Guia vowed to boost morale loudly,

"Yeah, we have no retreat!" The Vernon defender heard Qi Qi's shock, his eyes reddened, the sluggish morale began to rise again, and the trembling hand holding the weapon no longer trembling. Up,

"The whole army stands firmly, the archers are on the tower!"" Squeaking, "Countless archers drew their bowstrings on the arrow tower. The cold beam of arrows aimed at the bottom, the first seventeen hundred-hole arrow towers of Vernon City opened up like a dangerous hedgehog, and the Tillandsia below looked almost mad. Vernon’s side was like this. He clearly regarded himself as a rebel! He saw a flag representing the decisive death slowly rising above the city. Like Tie Lan, the officers and soldiers of the Kyoto Army almost bulged their eyes when they saw it.

"Desperate flag! What's the situation, is this going to war?".

The soldiers murmured to each other with ugly faces. The order they were given was that the Falcon Army was approaching in the rear, but the battle flag representing the decisive death rose at the head of Vernon in the front, and all kinds of speculations boiled and fermented in whispers

"No way. Is it really a rebellion?" The officers looked at each other nervously on the battlefield. "Master Tielan wouldn't really want..."Even the generals who knew the specific situation looked suspiciously. Xiang Tielan, several generals even quietly touched the hilt of their swords, their eyes getting colder and colder

"Asshole, what do you all think of me Tie Lan!" Tie Lan's angry face flushed with suffocation, and there was an urge to vomit blood. Vernon’s overly cautious attitude was a heavy blow to his army. He could feel that the morale of the whole army was shaken. His army was the Kyoto army, and his family members were all in Kyoto. The enemy is no problem in fighting. If the flag of rebellion is raised, most of the troops will be mutiny immediately, and there is absolutely no scum that will kill him.

"My lord, can't let the misunderstanding go on!"

At the critical moment, a figure stood up from the general. It was Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army who had just returned. He looked at the decisive battle flag floating above the city of Vernon in the distance and said in a condensed voice. In this situation, the only way is to ask the adults to go to Vernon City and tell them clearly, or to eliminate the misunderstanding!"

"Now?" Tie Lan gave Pat a grateful look. It was a rush of wind and grass, and adversity could see people's hearts. No one would have thought that when support was most needed, only this northern army general who had just returned to stand. Come out and support yourself,

"I'm afraid it won't work now! The cavalry of the Falcon Army is quickly approaching... the army cannot be without command!" Tie Lan took a deep breath

"If you trust me, I am willing to lead the Northern Army to meet the approaching cavalry troops of the Falcons! I will buy time for the adults to explain!" Pat raised his head sincerely, "Now the situation has reached a volatile situation. The farmer explained that opening the passage as soon as possible is the only way to stabilize the army. Although the loyalty of adults is well known, but people say it is terrible. Once the military's heart is shaken or used by others, the adults will be indefatigable!"

"Yeah, yeah, just explain it clearly!"

The generals of the Kyoto Army heard that Pat was willing to take the Northern Army to resist the most terrifying Falcon Empire cavalry, and all of them suddenly showed a relaxed look, and they echoed repeatedly, wishing to say Pat was the first brave general of the empire. It's a role model for my emperor, my lord, go and explain it clearly to Vernon! To open the way for the army to return to Beijing, Lord Pat led the army against the Falcons, and it must be a tale to be praised by millions in the future!

The generals in Kyoto were all smiles, no matter how pale the face of another Northern Army general Elind was, Pat suggested that the Northern Army would meet the Falcon Army, and his Twelfth Infantry Regiment must be among them.

"This..."

Tie Lan hesitated with frowning eyebrows. The cavalry of the Falcon Empire is very famous in Gaul. Moreover, this time is the most elite cavalry of the Emperor's line of the Central Army of the Falcon Empire. This is the top battle of the Falcon Empire. The Kyoto Army, which has fought against the Central Army of the Falcon Empire many times, has long recognized the cruel fact that 20,000 Central Army cavalry can easily defeat more than three times the obstructing force. In this case, I want to fight with these fierce forces. The cavalry unit, with extremely rich combat experience and fighting in this vast and unstoppable area, is simply looking for death.

Even Tillandsia. I also think about the decision that I already felt my scalp numb, so he was moved by Pat’s decision,

"My lord, please make a decision immediately, time is running out!" Pat doesn't seem to know what this means, and still embarrass other Kyoto army generals with respectful expression. "Please allow your permission!"

Qi Qi, the generals of the Kyoto Army gritted their teeth, said that Pat’s nobleness made them feel a kind of inferiority from the heart. This inferiority made them feel the superiority of the superior Kyoto soldiers disappeared, and replaced by a kind of inferiority. Rage, bastard, go if you want to die! For the dead. The high praise is meaningless!

No one noticed a trace of the scene flashing in Pat’s eyes." Well, I grant your request. "Tillan has a rare pity, and he retakes Pat’s hand with an iron armour piece. The shoulders and lips trembled slightly. "Remember, come back alive!" "With our army behind, the army will be guaranteed to be foolproof, and the adults can rest assured to explain!" Pat turned on his horse and immediately saluted Tie Lan. , And then turned and ran towards the direction of the Northern Army. Elind followed unwillingly, woooo! A bugle sounded, and the 60,000-strong Northern Army turned to the back on the left flank. "Pat. Are you crazy? Reflexively fight the Falcon cavalry. Do you know what it means?" The dissatisfied whispered beside Pat who was mobilizing troops, Tielan gave the order, and he did not dare to blatantly oppose it. But thinking of finally returning to Kyoto and sharing this kind of mission of a life of nine deaths, my heart is very unwilling. "Elind. How far is it from your family manor?" Pat tightened his hand on the reins of the horse, and his eyes were inexplicable. He glanced at him emotionally, and unexpectedly asked, "Shili, my family manor is near Vernon! "Elind's face was taken aback" Shili, which means that if Vernon becomes a tragic battlefield , Your family will not be spared either! "Pat took a deep breath and looked at the northern sky," Vernon? Battlefield! What do you mean?" Elind was taken aback, his face turned pale. His family is only a nobleman in the outer area of ​​Kyoto, and the fief is not big, it is the size of one or two manors. There are no private soldiers, and it is not like the arrow towers that can be built by the wealthy. If it is really like Pat said, the Falcon Army A fierce battle with the Kyoto Army broke out here, and his family will definitely be involved,

"You are from Kyoto, you should know the conditions outside Kyoto!" Pat's face was a little sad,

"You mean... the raid of the Kyoto Army!" Elind shivered on horseback,

The battlefield area is often the most chaotic area. If it is the Falcon Army, it is better. Although the Falcon Army is cruel, it is mainly the soldiers against the soldiers. On the contrary, there are not too many atrocities against civilians and ordinary little nobles. We oppose the occupation of the Falcon Army, but our Kyoto Army is different. It was able to show restraint before, but since the shortage of materials in Kyoto and the soaring prices, the last bit of reservation of the Kyoto Army is gone.

Some recent situations have shown that the Kyoto Army often used the name of sweeping the Falcon Army scouts to plunder the small nobles in the periphery, and it was better than the Falcon Army to resist the civilians and small nobles encountered in the raid. It is also brutal, often killing the whole family and hanging the corpse on the door to warn the little nobles who want to resist. The deteriorating environment of Kyoto is also what the little noble of Elind wants. The reason for returning to Kyoto quickly is because Elind knew very well that the consequence of his staying in the north was that the family was torn apart and disappeared like leaves caught in the storm during the war between the Falcon Army and the Kyoto Army.

"I know what you are returning to Kyoto for, but if your efforts fail to achieve your goal, will you still insist on standing on the side of the Kyoto Army?".

Pat looked at him, his eyes became sharp, and he asked in a condensed voice, as if two sharp swords made Elind’s forehead seep with sweat, Pat’s current expression was really too similar to the killing of the day. The expression when he dropped Ruhr. Since Ruhr's death, in order to commend Pat, Tielan has included Ruhr’s Eleventh Infantry Regiment into Pat’s Tenth Infantry Regiment. In terms of strength, it is Erinde’s first. Twice the Twelve Infantry Regiment,

"Then what do you say?" Elind gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Under the circumstances, I can only stand in line with you. I don't care what you do, my family must keep it. This Is my bottom line!"

"Don’t worry, killing Ruhr is a compelling choice. They are all comrades fighting in the north. If I can, I don’t want to see more people die! If you want to go home, our soldiers are the same, but Your family is in Kyoto, and our family is in the north!" Pat smiled slightly, he turned his head and looked at the Kyoto Army, who was already invisible behind him,

There is already five miles away from Tielan’s main force, and there is nothing to see! Pat raised his hand and shouted to the sixty thousand Northern Army behind him, "Brothers. Now it’s time for us to choose. All those who want to go back to the north and don’t want to be the cannon fodder of the Kyoto Army, lay down their weapons. All stand on the left side of the road for me!"

"Walala", there was a crowd of people, and the 60,000 Northern Army began to put down their weapons and ran to the left side of the road neatly. Some people were still hesitating. Suddenly heard the sound of "Rumble" from a distance, like a thunderous sound coming from a distance

"What's the matter?"

Elind stretched out a hand to catch the snow falling from the top of his head, and the branches of the white birch forest beside the road began to tremble rhythmically amidst the ground shaking.

"It's a Falcon cavalry!"

The people who were still stuck in the middle began to scream, and they ran to both sides of the road in fright. The Northern Army soldiers who put down their weapons also began to be confused

On the far side of the road, it was like a black line advancing swiftly. Twenty thousand Falcon Empire Central Army cavalry emerged from a distance. Across an undulating hill, the rumbling of horseshoes was like bursts of thunder, occasionally mixed with the neigh of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests.

The black armors are arranged in several fast moving black long lines, shining dimly under the golden light of the sun, and the dense formations of cavalry continue to emerge in groups on the high hills, looking like the same from a distance. Block the black wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area. Countless war horses moved forward, like a razor cut across the midline of the earth and stopped in the distance

"Is Lord Pat here?".

A group of sturdy cavalry in black armor guarded a person from the cavalry cluster, the cavalry cluster behind them stopped neatly, and the sharp spears in their hands were drooping, flashing like snow with terrifying brilliance, bursting The mountain wind passed through their queue, and the smell of blood spread in the wind,

He was a bald, one-eyed man in heavy armor with two cross-handled knives on his shoulders.

The strong man stopped a hundred meters in front of the Gaul Northern Army, his gaze was like a sharp knife, and he slowly swept over the tens of thousands of Gaul troops who were all leaning to the side of the road in front. There were more than a dozen in the middle of the road. Piles of weapons,

The sturdy and unique image of the strong man immediately caused the Northern Army here to stir up, Salon! One-eyed Salon! The soldiers of the Northern Army trembled one by one. They fought and fought the Falcon Army on the northern land for a month. They had long remembered the unique appearance of this Falcon Army general who was said to be able to fight a thousand-man team alone, just like It's a cat staring at a group of mice,

Under the eyes of this brawny man, tens of thousands of people held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

"Your Excellency is Lord Salon, I am Pat! I have followed the agreement to let the Northern Army break away from the Kyoto Army, and put down the weapons. I also ask your Majesty Falcon to keep the promise. We have nothing to ask for, just hope to go home! "Pat bite the bullet and came out of the Northern Army. Stopped at a distance of 20 meters from Salon, and responded boldly with a trembling voice, "Very well, your choice is very wise! If I don't put down my weapon, I will give an attack order without hesitation!" The corner of Long's mouth grinned slightly, and he took a scroll from the position where he was hanging on his waist, and threw it to Pat, who was 20 meters away, and said in a condensed voice, "This is your majesty's order, you can read it for yourself"

Saron finished speaking and waved his hand behind him. The hundreds of cavalry behind him unloaded the heavy big bag from the horse and moved to the ground. The bag made a heavy sound of slamming on the ground." 'The cloth bag opened in the sound of shaking and colliding metal, and a dazzling golden yellow splashed out from inside. Hundreds of bags were like a large sea of ​​yellow, orange and orange gold coins

"Hiss!" Tens of thousands of northern soldiers took a breath of air, and they almost burst out when they saw their eyes. "What do you mean!" Pat was also stupid, holding the scroll in his hand before it had time to unfold. , What kind of situation is this! "From now on, the Gaul Northern Army is officially disbanded! You can decide to stay at will. If you are willing to stay, form the Falcon Empire Northern First Infantry Regiment on the spot. The Banner Regiment is your Lord Pat! Belong to me, Salon. Legion!"

Saron shrugged and said to Pat, "Our army has always rewarded with military merit, killing one person to reward one gold coin. This has always been the case. Our time is very tight and there is no time to delay here. I know everyone is waiting. With money, these are the first military expenditures of the First Banner of the North of the Empire that I deliberately requested from Your Majesty, totaling 600,000 gold coins!"

"Six hundred thousand gold coins!" Tens of thousands of northern troops neatly hold their breath~IndoMTL.com~ their eyes are green. Since Alder went to Kyoto, their military payments for two consecutive months have been deducted by Duke Simon in various names. Most of it, "I don’t care what you think, but since it’s under my jurisdiction, I have to make it clear. I don’t have much knowledge, so I borrowed a word from your majesty to get the money left. Those who participated in the war can get rich. It’s okay to go back to farm if you’re fighting! Okay, that’s it! I'm still rushing to make a fortune!"

Saron tilted his head, waved his hand to the cavalry group that stopped behind him, and shouted, "Go, brothers, let's stab the Kyoto Army in the ass!"

"Go ahead!" The 20,000 cavalrymen galloped past the sea of ​​gold coins like this. The cavalrymen above didn't even look at the sea of ​​gold coins under their horses, leaving behind a group of completely stupid ones. Gaul Northern Army! "I... want to go back!" In silence, a forty-something northern army said cautiously, but his hot gaze stared directly at the sea of ​​gold coins in front of him, full of hesitation. The northern Gaul had experienced many wars. , The reputation is declining, and the economy is depressed. One gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to spend this winter. "No matter what you think, I stayed behind. There is no one in the family anyway! It's boring to go back!" A young soldier gritted his teeth. , Walked to the sea of ​​gold coins to pick up a gold coin, and then walked to the weapon pile "I have a wife and children, I need money! I need more money" A soldier walked to the money pile, reached out his hand to pick up a gold coin, and walked to the weapon pile (To be continued...)
