Power and Empire Chapter 1868: Tilan Rebellion (3)
The "Tilran Rebellion" in winter is a symbol of the end of the Gaul Empire. The Northern Army of the Gaul Empire launched a counterattack at a critical moment, which completely shattered the hope of resistance in Gaul Kyoto, and the strong Kyoto defense line. In this rebellion, the imperial army was torn to pieces overnight. The 100,000 troops led by the first emperor of the empire, Dustan, came to the hinterland of Gaul Kyoto. This is the first time that the empire has truly achieved a real battle against Gaul Kyoto. Strategic Encirclement----------Excerpted from "A Brief History of the Imperial War, Volume 5, Gaul" by the Falcon Emperor Institute of Military Affairs
Under the city of Vernon, Tilland wears heavy silver armor and a pure blue cloak that falls from her shoulders to the ground behind her. At a distance of 150 meters from Vernon, she looks at the opposite city. In front of countless powerful arrows with his head raised, he raised his right hand and swayed. An attendant wearing a blue and white sword striped robe by his side nodded solemnly, raising the pure white double banner in his hand, alone One person continued to move forward tremblingly,
"Don't release arrows, I am the messenger!"
The attendant looked at the flash of arrows that could shoot himself into a hedgehog at any time. While slowly moving forward, he shouted with all his strength. At fifty meters, "swish" an arrow from The shot came from the head of the city and landed exactly five meters in front of the attendant's horse, making the messenger pale with fright
"Stop, bastard, you rebels take one step forward, and I will shoot through your throat, I promise!" Someone from the city made a serious voice, and the messenger raised his head and looked in the direction of the arrow. , A strong archer, and a general in blue fleece armor next to him,
The messenger gritted his teeth. He shouted hysterically, "Is the Marquis de Gia here? Master Tielan asked for an interview! We are not malicious, and we are not rebels! We are the Kyoto Army! We are not enemies!"
"What proof is there for your words, how do I know that you are not lying to us!" The strong man on the city wall glanced at the general beside him, and continued to ask after he got his approval.
"There are 110,000 troops behind me, but you only have 5,000. If we were the rebels, we would have started to attack the city, even if you were the empire’s bravest warriors, you would be able to resist the eleventh. Is it an onslaught by the Great Army?" The messenger took a deep breath, and, in order to strengthen persuasiveness, responded boldly. "And we are also the Kyoto Army. Kyoto is our home, and our relatives and children are all in Kyoto. Do you think Will we be the rebels!"
"There are 110,000 people in the city!"
There was an uproar over the city, and it became quiet. Although they knew that there were a lot of rebels under the city, it was another matter to really know the specific number. Five thousand people against 110,000 people absolutely can't die anymore. ! Everyone looked at the Marquis of Guia, with various expectations, under the sight of countless subordinates, the face of Marquis of Guia looked a little embarrassed. With his gaze sweeping across the dense army in front of Vernon, like a forest of guns, he swallowed hard, and replied, "I am Gia. For the safety of Kyoto, I can't completely believe your words,"
"Well, let Tie Lan come over. If he is willing to become a hostage, I will trust you!" The Marquis of Gia said with a cold face
"Hostage, bastard. How dare the other party allow Master Tie Lan to be a hostage, it's really rude!" The news brought back by the messenger made the generals of the Kyoto army here yelled.
"It's okay, I'll be a hostage" Tie Lan looked at her general with a calm face, and said slowly
"It won’t be long for the Northern Army to stop the Falcon cavalry. Everyone has to clear the gates before they can enter Vernon. There is no extra time to delay here. I understand this guy, Gia, not that habit. A person who is treachery, and it is not good for him to do so, as long as I show enough sincerity, it will not be dangerous!"
"My lord, if the Falcons break through the Northern Army's obstruction, and you are hostage in Vernon, what should we do..." The generals expressed concern with ugly faces
"Sixty thousand Northern Army, how can it be able to withstand two hours! Let the army enter a safe place as soon as possible, is the most important problem that needs to be solved now" Tie Lan waved his hand and prevented the generals from arguing. Surrounded by several guards, they walked towards the walls of Vernon, without noticing that a black line was violently attacking behind the 50,000 Gallic Kyoto Army
At the head of Vernon City, watching Tielan come here with only a few people, the brawny man who shot the arrow just now whispered to the Marquis Gea next to him, "My lord, it seems like a misunderstanding. ! Otherwise, Tielan would not assume such a posture!"
"Misunderstanding? We can't relax before Tillan enters Vernon and becomes a hostage!" Marquis Gea narrowed his eyes into a line, looked at the bottom with a sincere expression, and raised his hand to say hello to him. Lan, whispered, "You don't know this guy, it's quite sinister. It is rumored that he slaughtered allies to seize the exploits in the Battle of Rusty. Others don't believe it, I believe it! This guy is a careerist with the highest interests. I can guarantee that there must be some reason for this guy to enter Vernon in a short time, otherwise this guy would have ordered to break the city!"
"The reason?" The strong man was stunned for a moment
"I don't know, there is a problem anyway!" The Marquis de Gea said with a certain expression, "If you have an army of 110,000 and there are only 5,000 people on your side, you will choose to face provocations and attack directly. Cheng, still suffer from others like this! This is not Tielan’s style!"
"I will use my army to attack the city, the big deal is to explain it afterwards! The 110,000 army, the law does not blame the public, then it will be said to be an act of anger from everyone, even if Kyoto wants to pursue it, I dare not dare!" The strong man looked down, hesitated, and asked, "But what should we do now? Do we really want to take Tielan hostage? If we are investigated afterwards, it will be very troublesome for us to detain important military officials at will. This Tielan is still a despicable and shameless guy, so she won't just let it go!"
"Forget it, forget it, let them go to Vernon! I don't want Tillan as a hostage, taking advantage of the fact that it is not completely irreparable now!" The Marquis of Gea paled when he thought of the terrible consequences of being retaliated by Tillan. , Gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. At this moment, he heard the captain of the guard next to him utter a low voice like "Oh, my God, what is that!"
"What?"
The Marquis de Gea turned around, and he stayed there immediately. Behind the blue-armored Tillan Legion, a long black stream of iron leaped rapidly between the boundless earth, swiftly and violently crashed from behind the Tillan Legion, like a whistling black frenzy colliding. At the position of the Marquis of Guia, you can just see the dazzling brilliance of the 20,000 cavalry assault lances that are standing side by side, like a huge silver sickle, like a bird of prey swooping down from high altitude. The magnificence is like an avalanche. The Kyoto Army with its entire back exposed completely collapsed. A Kyoto Army general yelled as he ran. The screaming screams had not yet been screamed. The turbulent horseshoes had drowned everything,
Gaul, the outer city of Kyoto, Lujia,
This is a small city with a history of 1,700 years. The city is lined with red tiles on the top of the wall. Outside the city is surrounded by the Luo River, which is blue like a light belt in summer and autumn. On the top of the hill opposite the city, there is a small castle with white walls and blue roof, under the blue sky and white clouds. Like a dream, looking down from above, the vast land with red roofs and blue rivers is like a pure dream that can't bear to blaspheme. Every autumn, there are always large and small Kyoto aristocrats who come here on their ornately decorated carriages with hordes of servants. They hunted in the mountains. In order to supply them, the magistrate specially built a row of villas on the mountainside. Now it is the base camp of the Falcon Emperor ** against Kyoto.
Since the Empire took the initiative to abandon the wall rock fort, the gate of Kyoto, the retreating troops have occupied it. It has received support from the Imperial Central Army, the Southern Army, and the Northland Allied Forces on the Kyoto line, with a total of 117,000 troops. Gathering here from all sides and eight directions, it faces a situation of confrontation with Kyoto’s gateway wall rock fort, twenty miles away,
Currently presiding over the battle in Lu Jia is the Southern Governor-General Statunko, the head of the five army commanders of the Falcon Emperor **. Statunko is one of the few imperial generals with both offensive and defensive capabilities. In terms of offensive power It may not be as aggressive as the other four army commanders, but in terms of defense, it can be said that it is not leaking.
At this time, he was looking solemnly at the situation map in front of him, his fingers were slowly moving in the northern part of the map, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, the situation was not optimistic! Is your Majesty's recruitment of light soldiers going northward a bit too rash! Since your Majesty personally led part of the Central Army Corps to the north of Gaul, the connection between the base camp and your Majesty Falcon has basically been severed.
Although there is a connection with carrier pigeons, because of the influence of distance and the cold winter, the connection between intelligence is becoming more and more difficult,
As for the situation of His Majesty Falcon in the north, Statunko only roughly understands some progress. For example, eight days ago, His Majesty Falcon’s Central Army successfully attacked Antura, the northern town of Gaul, but the Gauls The main force in the north has escaped the front and back flanking carefully arranged by your majesty. This is not good news.
Salong Thirty Thousand North Army Corps, which joined with your Majesty, is brave and good at fighting, but the soldiers who fight are human.
Statunko doesn’t think that a corps that has been fighting for a month and advancing a thousand miles northward alone, the soldiers can still maintain vigorous and sufficient combat power, which means that His Majesty Falcon needs to divide his troops to defend Antu. La, but also with limited forces against the counterattack of nearly 200,000 troops in northern Gaul,
Even if your Majesty is the God of War of the Empire, he will feel a headache, right?
Staturenko’s finger focused on the place where the word Antura is on the map. Antura, a major northern town, is not a defensive city. It is a cross formed by the intersection of two northern main roads with its vast periphery. , And countless countless small roads extending because of these two main roads have greatly increased the difficulty of guarding this central hub city
As an imperial regiment commander, there is rarely a legion commander who is proficient in internal affairs. Statunko knows very well that the original intention of his majesty to attack the north is to control the north of Gaul, thus completely cutting off the northern team Gaul. Kyoto’s "blood supply" but the unexpected escape of the main force in northern Gaul made everything difficult,
Even if your Majesty is a **** of war, it is impossible to defeat 200,000 enemies with 80,000 troops in a short period of time, and to control the north with spare power! At the critical moment, you still need to reduce the pressure for your majesty from the direction of the wall rock fort! "Statunko said to himself, taking a deep breath of coldness, the room was messy, only the rows of bookcases against the wall made the whole room look full of simplicity and elegance.
Statunko is not a person who pays attention to the details of life. Compared with the love of wealth and military glory by other imperial generals, Startunko prefers all kinds of books, and he glances towards Outside the window, the sun was shining, the black queue was training, and the battle flag was waving like a cloud on the wound of the camp. The southern army under his command had experienced the training of the Battle of Rusty and the Battle of Danieli. Has long become a well-known empire, worthy of its name, a powerful force, and the largest empire's main force that has received orders to move closer to Gaul Kyoto,
He arrived in October. It was the third day the Fatty gave the order to abandon the wall rock fort. He arrived at the same time as the abandonment of the wall rock fort. He was asked to immediately organize his troops and attack the Gaul troops from the direction of the wall rock fort. After ordering the Gaul Kyoto army to occupy the wall rock fort, morale boosted on the third day. I couldn’t wait to mobilize a force of 100,000 people to swoop on several cities outside the wall rock fort, attempt to expand the support point, completely cut off the possibility of the Falcon Emperor’s siege of Kyoto again, and named this military operation "Imperial Dawn."
Who knew that the 30,000 former army had just stepped out of the narrow pass outside the wall of the fortress, and was beaten into a river by countless crossbows of the Imperial Southern Army that had already opened the front.
The head-on attack by the Southern Army of the Falcon Empire, which had as many as 60,000 people, caused the Gauls who left thousands of corpses in the fight for half an hour to be completely stunned. The Kyoto Army has become accustomed to passive defense. For the frontal battle with the Falcons, he was totally uncomfortable. In front of the clusters of arrows pouring down like raindrops, the rigid phalanx infantry fell in pieces, and Derek behind was so scared that all his rhetoric was thrown behind his ass, like a brain full of thinking about robbery. But just as soon as he left the house, he was inexplicably beaten up. The gangster, who even had his underwear pulled out, has not even dared to show his face for more than ten days.
"It's the ninth day. How is your Majesty in the north?" Statunko looked out the window in a daze
In the early morning, white mist filled the city's grid-like stone road, and the sound of galloping horses broke the tranquility around it. A messenger wearing light chain armor came in from the city gate. The lower edge of his armor was stained with water. It was a trace of being wet by the morning fog. Because of the continuous whipping of war horses on the road, his Arms and body were full of sewage raised by horseshoes. After rushing into the villa area where the base camp was located, "War Report!" The cavalry was ordered to raise the battle report in their hands and dash all the way, and the loud sound shook all the rooms.
"Battle report?"
Several roadside officers on duty turned their heads almost at the same time. An adjutant full-time in charge of secret transmission quickly walked out from the door of the base camp floor. He received the battle report from the messenger, and the red battle report made him face. There was a hint of surprise, the big red one, this is a sign of victory. The current war in the empire is only here and the northern region, isn't it? . . . . . The adjutant seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, "Thanks!" The adjutant nodded to the Chuanling cavalry, and shouted to the nearby guards, "Longge, you take this brother down to rest. You must be entertained!"
The lieutenant turned and walked onto the base camp floor, not daring to delay the slightest, and ran all the way to Statunko’s room,
"My lord, the latest report!"
Just as Statunko wondered whether he was going to pick up the enemy in the wall rock fort, the door of the office was pushed open,
The deputy chief wore a neat black military uniform, holding a letter just received in his hand, and hurried over,
The last time the base camp received the letter was eight days ago. If you say you are not nervous, it is false. Even the deputy chief thinks that this time the Falcon’s sudden turn to the north with the Central Army is a bit too rash, and it is currently stuck. The battle in Kyoto will not change because of the competition in the northern region.
Although a large number of supplies of Gaul Kyoto came from the north of Gaul, it does not mean that the impact of the fall of the north will soon affect Gaul Kyoto, because Gaul Kyoto has just pulled the four consuls in the east. When it comes to its own tank, even if there is no north, there is still the east that can support it in a short time.
Although the giant Gaul is scarred, but under the current circumstances, trying to support this winter is not a problem!
"Battle report!" Startunko looked at the dazzling red on it, his expression was shocked, and he opened it quickly, his eyes swept away, and he took a breath of air-conditioning, my God! Hey, the battle report in his hand slipped from the tip of his dull finger to the ground
"What's the matter~IndoMTL.com~sir!" The lieutenant cautiously picked up the battle report on the ground, handed it to Statunko, and asked in a condensed voice.
"Look at it for yourself. Although I don't know how to do it, your majesty has already controlled the northern part of Gaul." Statunko calmed down his inner shock, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reported the battle again. He gave the confused adjutant "and also took advantage of the situation, beheading the Gaul Kyoto army by fifty thousand, and captured Vernon, the gateway city to the north of Gaul Kyoto! Completed our strategic layout of attacking the two sides of the northwest of Gaul Kyoto! Gao Lu Ren will definitely go crazy this time!"
"This...How could it be possible!" The adjutant shook the hand of the battle report. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He carefully scanned the words on the battle report one by one. That's right, the battle report said. , His Majesty did control the north, occupied Vernon, and completed the encirclement!
"How did your majesty do it?" The adjutant looked up blankly and looked at Statunko
"Don't ask me, I don't know!" Statunko grinned and shrugged helplessly. "His Majesty Falcon, as the Emperor God, is invincible and invincible. With 200,000 Gaul northern troops, it is not impossible to win the northern part of Gaul, but they also took down Vernon, the gateway to the north of Gaul Kyoto, and to be honest, that can only be described as a miracle!"
