Power and Empire Chapter 1921: The Empire’s Counterattack (5)
The wind is blowing, and the mountains in the south of Congo are full of new green shoots. The flag of the Falcon Imperial Army slaps in the wind, breaking into the army of the Ten Thousand Empires in the south of Congo, attacking the main road. After Fort Muia, they successively won two strategic advance points close to the south, but the previous Gang-non-blocking forces also changed. They took the initiative to abandon some unimportant frontiers and placed heavy troops of about 60,000 people in Israel. The middle section of the mountain range with the Bavuni Fortress as the core has changed from decentralized defense to focused defense, like a huge barrier blocking the front of the Falcon Empire army.
When the Falcons broke into the mountainous area where the southern combat base camp is located, as the second batch of the Central Central Army’s support, General Hu Keqili of the Imperial Central Central Army arrived with an excited expression with an urgent report. The fat man’s tent reported to the fat man who was reviewing the battle map, "Your Majesty, good news, as I walked today, Gangfei, as expected, learned that the main force of our army was exhausted and the general emptiness was mobilized. The elite of about 60,000 people want to use the opportunity of our army's main force is not in general, and take the area of strategic importance for us and the Congolese in one fell swoop."
"Sixty thousand people? The last force that Gang Fei can be desperate for!" Fatty's mouth is awkward." I only wanted to lift 30,000 people, but I did not expect to lift the 60,000 people of Gang Fei! "The fat man retracted his gaze from the map, raised his head, and was slightly surprised. He didn't see the anxiety that might be cut off from the back on his face. Instead, he smiled with a relaxed look. "It seems that there are still a few in the Gangfei army. Ambitious guys, we transferred the main force of the imperial army from the general area, and we also launched an active attack with inferior forces. If the opponent can't even see such a large neutral position, it will be too disappointing for my imperial emperor's laborious performance! "
Hu Keqili happily said, "Your Majesty is still clever. If I didn’t guess wrong, these sixty thousand people are the last cards that Gang Fei had planned to mobilize in the Southern Campaign."
" Just out of the total of 200,000 troops in the south, secretly arranging 60,000 people as reserve troops is really eye-popping. Even if I am caught off guard, it will be tricky!" The fat man smiled slightly. Fighting in the enemy's home court, it is always necessary to reserve a small amount of troops to deal with the opponent's counterattack by using superior forces. It has always been a headache. Now that it is good, the opponent will reveal all the cards in one click!
" Your Majesty, what should I do now? "Hu Keqili asked hesitatingly." Although strategically, the general area is used as a bait to attract all the reserve forces of the Congolese to reduce the gap in the military strength of the two sides, but it is too much. The force is twice as strong as expected. It is estimated that Varisian, who is guarding the general set, will be under great pressure.
"After all, he has only 10,000 people under his command. Even if you add Pu Tao's own 20,000 troops, the total is only one-half of the Gangfei army!" Hu Keqili touched his chin, his eyes were A few dignified threads
"Don’t worry, I already gave Varisian the order to do his own thing when I left. "The fat man shook his hand and said flatly and indifferently." If the enemy has too much force, you can give up most of it if necessary. In the area, you only need to stick to the area where the fleet port is located. If you can’t hold it back, you will withdraw to Huacheng Island, which has been expanded for several months. Gangfei has no navy unless they fly over with wings!"
"His Majesty is going to give up General Tau?" Hu Keqili heard his eyes wide. General Tau is the support point of the Empire's maritime strategy. Did your Majesty give up like this?
"Give up? The importance of the unpopular coast to the empire is self-evident.” The fat man shook his head and said, “Putall is an important connection point for the empire to transfer from the open sea to the inland sea! It is the core child of the entire inland sea strategy of the empire, I only Therefore, the ordinary coast is used as a smuggling place, and there is no rampant local construction like other parts of the empire, just to prevent such a day!"
" Your Majesty said, Your Majesty has made such a decision a long time ago? "Hu Keqili thoughtfully, a little startled by what he said.
The words of Falcon’s are plain with strong blood that cannot be removed. A word of prevention means that at that time, your Majesty already had the idea of making Universal Set a decisive battlefield.
"Not bad" Fatty laughed unabashedly. He did dig pits for Gang Fei from the last time he moved to Beijing. He thought he had no chance to use it. Who knew this accident was tricked,
He drew a circle on the map and said sharply, "From the combat position, Putao is too close to the Gangfei Empire, so once we go to war with Gangfei, Putao will be the best battlefield, because This is a thorn in Gang Fei’s heart and a turning point for the Gang Fei Empire to survive and decline!"
Hu Keqili nodded secretly when he heard it, and looked at the map on the table
" Do you know why I want to make Putao a smuggling distribution center? "The fat man's voice paused, with a hint of chill, and said, "Why did the empire turn a blind eye to the violations of the rules by the Putao nobles? One eye? "The corner of the fat man's mouth is twitched." If I didn't deliberately pretend to be invisible, then those so-called generalists would at least be blood-washed according to the rules of the previous empire! When did it become frustrated!"
" Did your majesty deliberately? "Hu Keqili heard his back shine
"Of course it was intentional!"
Fatty nodded, with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. "There is a saying that one leaf can hide the mountains without seeing the mountains. This winter is too difficult for the Gang Fei people. Losing the foundations in the north, Incident 1.12 broke out. We were beaten up on the southern coast of Gangfei" "For Gangfei Chaotang, who urgently needs a large amount of wealth to fill the financial void, Putao is a golden leaf that dazzles Gangfei's gaze, and it has been humiliated. Area!"
The fat man stretched out his hands and stretched out his waist. He looked at the blue sky outside and said coldly, "Let’s watch it. This time the African army raided the general area. The soft policy, in order to grab wealth in the shortest time, must use the most violent means. Starting from the place of entry, there will be a **** road behind. The general people will hesitate from the beginning to become thorough and peaceful. Just when Gangfei broke up, didn’t those general aristocrats who had been advancing have always been dissatisfied with the occupation of the empire? Now let them know that if there is no empire behind to support them, they are just the target of being slaughtered and even have a chance to express their dissatisfaction. Nothing!"
" So, your Majesty had already planned to use general tactics as bait?
Hu Keqili sounded a stunned expression and felt sorry for the general aristocracy. No wonder his Majesty, after taking control of General Tao, instead of occupying a place in the past, he relied heavily on infrastructure construction, only expanding the general overseas area. Several ports, as well as the strengthening of Lisbon as a strategic point of land,
For those bouncing general nobles, your majesty is surprisingly tolerant, some excessive actions turn one eye and close one eye,
Indeed, there is no need to pay for the dead. At that time, I didn’t think there was anything. Now it seems that your Majesty has actually arranged defenses and back roads in advance a few months ago. Only let the general experience a tragic experience. They will know that the empire is willing to occupy them, it is their honor!
" Okay, there is no need to worry about the battle situation in the general area, because what is the use of the army, even if you invest more in the army?
Without the support of the navy, when there are gaps everywhere in the coastline of General Tau three hundred miles, we temporarily put down General Tau, now we only need to do our own thing! "The fat man took a deep breath. From the very beginning, he had just misunderstood the direction of the war. Our combat goal is only one, to get through the southern coast."
" Yes, my subordinates understand! "Hu Keqili explained the situation ahead. At present, the Congolese army is adopting defensive tactics.
The four infantry regiments are arranged in echelon to guard the four small fortresses of the mountains, and the other two infantry regiments are backed by the large fortress Bawuni, staggering each other, and the temperature in the mountains in the south is warmer than in the north. According to the past climate, this is the precursor of the rainstorm in spring, and the other party should be waiting for this if he is confident! "
"Spring rainstorm!"
Fatty's eyebrows furrowed slightly. That's right, because of the dry winter, I haven't seen rain for a month!
Although the empire’s troops in the southern part of the battle have only 40,000 troops, 15,000 of them are the elite guards of your Majesty, and the other 25,000 are also the center of the empire. The elite divisions in the army, only in terms of combat power, even against hundreds of thousands of non-military troops, they can never lose sight of it.
But the commander facing Gang Fei is Boai Casa from the Gang Fei Southern Army. This is a general who has the title of Defensive Master in the Gang Fei Southern Army.
This time I put on this kind of full defense posture." Hu Keqili said with an ugly face, dripping water does not leak, there is no other way to go except for the removal of the seat. Even with the strength of our army, I want to take a seat in a short period of time. It’s also very difficult to force a breakthrough." Hu Keqili’s eyes moved on the map, and he expressed his opinion with embarrassment,
Fatty was silent for a while, and said, "This is not good for us. As a coastal area close to the sea, heavy rains coming with warm currents are coming, whether it is attacking us on the southern coast of the country or entering in the name of counterattack. The general army of Gang and Fei, who can accomplish the strategic goal first means that they can take a shot to give the opponent a back blow! Since the opponent is fully defending, then we will draw them out!"
" lead out?" Hu Keqili raised his head and was taken aback.
" You said that if I order the whole army to turn around and return to the general set, will the opponent rush over immediately? "Fatty's eyes are shining, and the corners of his mouth are laughing
The next morning, in the direction of the large fortress Bavuni, the Gangfei army, waiting for the Falcon Empire to attack with all its strength, saw Gangfei scout cavalry coming from the dangerous area in front of them as if they burned their buttocks, with spring night cold on their bodies. Frost’s scout cavalry galloped in in front of the slowly opened iron gate, pulled the horse violently, and the horse made a painful neighing sound
"What the **** did you do? Do you want to kill it?" The horse breeder desperately took over the reins of the horse, watching the blood on the abdomen of the horse being drawn by the spurs, and feeling distressed at the back of the scout cavalry Yelled.
The scout cavalry rushed to the tower of the fortress. It was the commanding point of the general. Looking down from above, you can have a sweeping view of the entire mountain range. The general’s favorite place is said to have been moved up.
" Stop! "The guard at the entrance to the tower stopped him
: "The former army scout, there is an emergency report!" The scout cavalry said hoarsely. After checking the card, the guard got out of the way.
the scout stepped on the winding steps and ran to the third floor in one breath. At every turn, he stood with a long axe and a guard with an iron crown.
The corridor road was a bit gloomy. An adjutant holding a document happened to come down from the upper corner of the third floor, and was hit by two scouts from the bottom up, full of "Oh," the two cried out in pain. The document in the hands of the adjutant fell all over the place, and the sound of the document landing alarmed the people on the third floor. What's the matter? I wonder if the adults are holding an emergency meeting. , An officer walked down from the top, glanced at the adjutant, there are documents sweeping the floor, frowning slightly, there seems to be something missing in the tone, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to, but it seems to be older than the actual age. He was old, his cheeks lacking blood seemed too simple, and his brows were still pretty. It's just that the arrogant eyes and twisted lips that seem to always want to be above others make people's impression of him even darker. Although people like Yang who are unfamiliar with the performance of top students, seeing this kind of talent would have put on a prejudiced look
"I'm sorry! I'll pack it right away," the adjutant who was busy picking up documents said quickly with a pale face
"I'm Rudd, the scout of the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the former army, and the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment, Mr. Zeni, has an urgent report requesting that it be handed over to Mr. Boai Casa," the scout said, panting.
"Former 7th Infantry Regiment? Give me the report, the general is holding a meeting!" The officer held out his hand with a cold face, and the scout reluctantly handed the file tube across the waist to the membrane structure file tube, and the officer opened it. The cover took a look at the report inside, his face changed slightly, he waved his hand to the scout "You stay first" and turned and walked upstairs. After a while, the adjutant hurriedly walked down and waved his hand to the scout. "Come on, the general wants to see you!"
On the upper floor, Boai Casa is having a meeting with several generals. This time he was selected as the commander who prevented the Falcon Empire from advancing to the southern coast. His body was thin but his voice was loud, with blood-colored skin and The agile hands and feet give people the impression that they are full of vitality. Just like their own side may be attacked by the Falcons at any time, another decision of the Imperial Council makes people feel that the deviation is too great. The empire has decided to oppose the Falcon Empire. Launched a counterattack, and the commander of this counterattack was Fabgareth, who also belonged to the Southern Army.
is really a world of difference!
He is very opinionated about the decision of this empire, but there is no way. This is just a decision of the imperial council. The imperial court thinks that the success of this counterattack may be great, and the Falcon Empire army will do its best, but All were strongly restrained, and the entire general area was completely open to imperial attack. This predictable victory was like a phantom medicine. The sweet poison known as the "imperial counterattack" seemed to lurk in human blood. Suddenly, his combative nature broke out. As a general who is good at defensive, Boai Casa always feels that something is wrong.
"Are you sure that the news is correct?" He picked up the urgent report on the table and confirmed to the scout again that the Falcon Empire Army that had entered the south had begun to turn around and retreat!
" It’s absolutely certain! "The scout Rudd nodded with a certain look." Last night, we noticed that the Falcons were retreating, and hurriedly followed. We checked the traces of the other party’s camp and followed them for ten times. In Jili, until this morning, it was confirmed that it was a sign of withdrawal!"
"Well, let's go down!" Boai Casa asked for some details carefully and confirmed it. The Falcon Empire Army has indeed turned around, so it should be going back to help general! Boai Casa thinks so, walking back and forth in the room is chasing? Still not chasing?
" My lord, if you sit back and watch the opponent withdraw, the Tans will attack the general army, I'm afraid they will...
. "The adjutant reminded me carefully next to
"What if it's a trap?" Boai Casa is tilted his head
" Increasing the number of scouts should reduce the risk of being ambushed!" Adjutant proposed
" Okay, that's it! Sending out so scouts must master every move of the Falcon Army. The other troops are gathered together. We immediately chase the Falcon Army and we must delay it!" Boai Casa ordered it. Nod, sit back and watch the Falcons return to help the general, no matter what the consequences are, I will be blamed for the crime
"Yes, my lord! The adjutant turned and left
The sky is gloomy~IndoMTL.com~It's gloomy. A flock of birds flew over the edge of the woodland, the direction of the vast fields, blowing the coolness of the spring breeze, in the morning light that has not yet fully risen, the cavalry guards of the empire lined up, the red tasseled caps scorching in the wind. , The black cloak was waving in the wind like a cloud, and the black line of the whole team was flowing from behind these cavalry across the opposite wilderness, scattered into a slightly irregular quadrilateral, and the neatly arranged armor and spears were reflected in the faint light and shadow. Medium
"Your Majesty, will the other party attack?" Hu Keqili asked with some worry
"The opponent has increased the power of the scouts, this is a precursor to the army's attack!" The fat man patted his whip in his hand, riding on a black horse, his eyes as cold as snow, and his whole body was full of frightening. Looking at the hilly road in the distance, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly
"We used some cases as bait to catch the eyes of the opposing scouts. The cavalry unit pulled away thirty miles in advance in the middle of the night last night, and now they came back halfway. The opposing scouts were all behind the infantry and pulled out three. At a distance of forty miles, even if there is a problem now, it is too late to report it quickly, and the other party thinks that as long as the scouts are staring at our army every move, they can avoid an ambush. In fact, they are in an invisible blind spot!"
"Tata" Just as the two were talking, a scout cavalry rushed over the wave-like hills in front of him,
violently pulled the horse in front of the fat man. The report said, "Your Majesty, a group of infantry soldiers have been found on the flanks of the hills!"
