Power and Empire Chapter 1932: Remnants of spring breeze (7)
Arowana Bay on the northern coast of Bhutau in spring is entering the biggest fish news of the year,
Various schools of fish fly across the chaotic clouds in this bay. With the warm current northward, fishing boats go into the sea, and thousands of sails compete in the current. Almost small fishing boats are pushed by the schools of fish below. Under the curved arc of the bay, the scales on the back of the hindered school of fish dye the surface of the sea with a faint golden icy color, forming layers upon layers, coming back and forth, just like the spectacle of a rumored giant beast in the deep sea. It is the famous "Dragon Fish Dancing in the Sea" in the northern part of Putao. Its essence is that when small fish in the sea happily chase the sun, they swim and leap, circling and circling, drawing shallow and looming lines on the surface of the sea. Caused by the water pattern,
In the early morning, the fishermen in the bay carefully pulled the sails, according to the usual practice, before going to the sea to worship the **** of the sea, pushing the boat into the sea together, the wooden bow was heavily plunged into the sea, a ripple was shaken, and the sparkling sea suddenly rose. Fluctuations are like layers of soft woolen satin spreading from the bottom of the boat, through the sea surface like jasper,
The family members of the fishermen prayed by the sea, their eyes were able to directly see the illusion-like ocean floor below. Fish gathered under the boat. The turquoise water reflected the blue sky and white clouds. The deep sun shyly shyly came out from the clouds, which looked special. Gentle and gentle, the difference is that there were a large fishing ground with 10,000 people in its heyday, and there were less than 20 small fishing boats in depression.
At this time in the past, not only was it possible for the fishermen to harvest the boats and pray for a smooth wind for a year. For the nobles of various countries, it was also a very famous time to taste fish delicacies.
The warm current from the south has brought many rare fish schools that are only found in the south. In this era, the fish caught cannot be kept fresh for a long time. Unless they are eaten on the same day, they can be dried. But durable salted fish, so many rare fish have only heard the name. Few people are really lucky enough to taste it,
But in the Arowana Bay in the northern part of Butao, all kinds of precious fish will appear, and the nobles and wealthy people who are used to climbing each other will also flock. For the locals, this is the most lively and prosperous time of the year, among which the traded goods The most famous and expensive one is the blue fresh caviar called "Deep Sea Gold"
Blue fresh fish is a deep-water fish in the southern Fei Ze sea area. Its living environment is 500 meters below the sea surface, which is not within the range that fishermen can catch. But here, some blue fresh fish that are wrapped in warm currents northward will come out, because it is close to the arc of the peninsula, part of the northward current is one to two degrees warmer than the open sea, and is used to deep-sea constant temperature blue fresh fish. Schools of fish will unnaturally rise to the point where they can get off the net. If anyone is lucky enough to catch a net of fresh blue fish, that net will be worth 1,000 gold coins, because caviar is known as the "gold of the sea" and only this every year It took more than a dozen days to taste it in the northern part of Bhutau. Most of them fall into the hands of the top giants or royal families
On the cliff near the coast, the Gangfei sentry on the sentry tower is pointing at the fishing boat on the sea, and his tone is full of disdain." Hehe, these general people are just busy. No matter how many catches are As the army’s rations! The generals have already said, let them work first, and then grab them all and take care of them!"
"If they don't go to sea, the general will kill them too!" It was a veteran with bloodshot eyes. "For the general. The army needs more food, for us, than food. What is even more memorable is their women. Although most of the skin is rough and tasteless, there are always one or two watery, but ordinary women are like this. They are too weak. Speaking of last night, the girl was really fragile and her waist was too weak. Thin and not slippery enough, only a dozen brothers died like that! I heard that I used to be the lover of local wealthy businessmen, so unfortunate!"
The veteran licked his lips, "But then again, I heard that the southern region of Bul Tau is really prosperous, where the women are long and beautiful and tasteful! I just don’t know if there is such a chance this time. !"
" Captain, to tell the truth, even if the door is opened in the south, do you dare to go? "The recruit opposite him smiled and said, "Don't you be afraid that the infantry crossbow of the Falcon Empire will pierce your throat with one arrow!" "
The veteran's face sank, his fingers clenched together, and his expression solemnly said, "Rookie! If I hear this, I will slap you with a whip, but I don't know if you are my nephew. How did your barracks trainer tell you, but you can’t ask about it on the front line!
"What's the matter? Isn't it just a joke! Are veterans like you scared too?" The recruit leaned on the post tower and said indifferently
"What do you know! The crossbows of the Falcon Army can also be used as a joke? They are all devil weapons that kill countless people. Even heavy armored troops can't stop them. An arrow pierces the throat within a hundred meters. It's like playing!" The veteran looked at the recruit with a sad look, and seemed to remember something, and said dimly.
"Especially for recruits like you who don’t know anything, they think they are brave. When attacking, the shield is slightly lowered. Everyone is running, and they see blood exploding from the front like morning fog! These crossbow shooters will take it easy. You can imagine the feeling of pulling a full-stringed Falcon crossbow and aiming at your head within ten meters. I guarantee that your scalp will explode. It is unimaginable without personal experience. I brought six people. Three of them died like this! They thought that the enemy would run away. Who knew that the enemy would be more ruthless than them. That's the veteran who really killed countless people. They looked like they were looking at the dead, and their hands were trembling. No!"
"No way, it's useless if you don't rush closer! "The recruit is a little dumbfounded, and his voice trembles slightly
"Who told you that it would be useful to rush closer?" The veteran was furious, and spit on the ground unhurriedly. "Didn't your battle trainers tell you that the Falcon Army's heavy battle formation is the most terrifying!" One hundred and fifty meters before the V march of the Falcon Army was called death **** by the veterans. Didn’t your war trainer mention it?"
"No, our war trainer has never been on the battlefield! As for what you said, he probably doesn't know it himself!"
The recruit shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.” “In the recruit camp, the war trainer just said that the Falcon Army is soft, cowards, and dare not face the enemy head-on. He only dared to shoot remotely with a crossbow. Don't worry, if you hold a shield and rush towards you, you can slaughter them at will. Then, they will immediately scatter like ducks being driven away! Let us kill"
"This kind of war trainer who has never been on the battlefield should be hanged! They are all aristocratic masters who are greedy for life and fear of death!"
The veteran sighed, he knew the situation. Because of the military tension, the Congolese Empire made a big move to turn the last reserve forces into the general battlefield. In order to make the counterattack look large enough, some of the forces were mobilized from the local army in the Besuka area. These local army soldiers The old and the new are mixed, so the Congo and Fei almost fry the Falcon cavalry troops in a straight line. It is because Congo and Fei sent all the local troops in charge of the Besuka area. There is also a part of the force that directly requires the nobles to participate. Avoid this war. Many nobles have chosen to quickly enter the boot camp to serve as instructors, etc.
This is a beautiful job that does not need to be on the battlefield, but can also easily pass various duties. Of course, the premise is that you must have enough hòu background, which can be regarded as a military position and can avoid the dangers of being on the front line. The position must be at least the level of the first-line ministers of the empire, but this way of misleading the recruits is simply "murder"
"It should be safer here! At least we are not an important place. Even if the Falcon Navy chooses to attack, it will not choose here. This is just a small fishing village!" Look down at the fishing grounds from the guard tower railing.
"Is it really safe here? I hope"
The veteran sighed secretly. The squadron of five hundred people stationed at this fishing ground, and such squadrons spread all over the coast, the Congolese and African troops have been cast a psychological shadow by the Falcon Empire Navy. In particular, several major counterattacks of the Falcon Empire started with the navy, followed by the army.
Fabgares once had the experience of being stationed in Valenya on the southern coast. He has also seen the suppressive power of the Falcon Empire Navy, so he is sure that the Falcon Army’s counterattack must be the arrangement made by General Fabugales, who was just not a hunter in the south, at the military meeting before the coastline went south. It’s the hunter’s usual way of dealing with ferocious beasts." First push the beast into a hurry, and it will begin to counter-attack frantically, setting up guard zones on the periphery, each based on four thousand men, divided into four combat infantry regiments, not separated from each other. By 30, use 20,000 troops to set up a perimeter cordon"
"This arrangement guarantees at least our one-hundred and fifty-mile cordon. Even if the Falcon Emperor really resorts to the usual coastal breakthrough operations, this distance is enough for the scattered forces from the coasts of the Congolese and Africa to be assembled. According to intelligence, the Falcon Army’s force in the general area is only 10,000 regular troops with combat capability. The newly recruited 40,000 people are equipped with average equipment and insufficient training. At most, they are used as defensive forces."
"If the main force of our army advances south and the rear defense is weak, the Falcon Emperor ** is very likely to repeat the old skills"
Fabgareth’s voice paused, and his finger drew a line on the coastline on the map, and said loudly, “The other party should leave 40,000 unbranded troops behind Lisbonto, and then use 10,000 regular troops to spread out behind me. Attack! So no matter where they enter from, they will hit our net"
" When the time comes, the army will return and cooperate with the coast to encircle and wipe out the ten thousand regular Falcons. As long as this battle is successful, the Lisbon side will inevitably be in turmoil. When our army advances south again, it will inevitably be a battle!"
Fabgareth punched **** the map and glanced at the generals attending the meeting with confidence. In terms of strategic considerations, Fabgareth’s considerations were not wrong, he predicted accurately. The Falcons counterattacked in the direction and made appropriate arrangements. Although everyone knows that the Falcons will counterattack from the coast, it still requires considerable courage to make a plan to encircle and annihilate 10,000 Falcons. The progress of the Wan army was very slow. It fell trees along the way and made siege equipment. The troops on the coastline were loose and tight inside, and a large net was opened in the north-central part of Putao
But he didn’t know that the calm waves of the northern sea of Putau were not calm, what a huge thing was rushing towards this fishing net, thousands of merchant ships, nearly 80,000 sailors. , If Fabugales knew this number, he would never show up such a method of asking you to join the Internet.
That afternoon, as the Hulun and Dylans navies moved ahead, the fleet on the sea began to grow more and more, and they covered the sea. White seagulls hovered in the air and didn’t know how to settle. The sailors pulled the winch, and the entire sea was churning. Even Varysien, who was mentally prepared, was shocked by the magnificent sight in front of him. It was so spectacular. I saw the battle flag like a cloud. This time I saw what the sea is. Forest
"Go ahead! Go to the northern waters of Putao!" The ship broke through the sea waves with a heavy weight. The sailors chanted excitedly, and the captains raised their hands to make flag gestures. Naturally, the most powerful fleet can set off in the first time.
The Admiralty of the Empire’s Admiralty is really appetizing for them with the standard of the first thousand people. With considerable strength, they are naturally unwilling to enter the Inland Sea at the same time with those small and medium forces. First entering the Inland Sea is equivalent to occupying the dominant position in the Inland Sea. Right, it is equivalent to reducing the risk factor of entering the inland sea to the minimum. They once asked the Admiralty to enter the inland sea in advance, but the Imperial Admiralty has never responded. The answer they received now is in line with their wishes, and the empire does not want them to confront the main force of the Congolese and African forces who are invading.
The next day, while some small and medium-sized forces were still on the sidelines, I didn’t know that it was the news from the tavern force at the same time." You know, Gang Fei robbed the entire northern part of the city. What a fortune! I heard that it was more than 20 million gold coins, and I heard that this time there were only 20,000 people in the northern part of Gangfei."
"You are drunk, 20,000 troops! Aren’t we people going to die?"
"You are stupid. Or stupid, there are those big guys in front of them, and the Gangfei army is not gathered together, scattered on the coast for more than a hundred miles. We will never encounter more than one Thousands of people, the Great Chamber of Commerce gnaws meat, can't we still have a sip of soup?"
"There are also a thousand people!" The conversation between the two was very loud, as if they were acting as a double spring. But all the people who listened pricked their ears, because every sentence was spoken in their hearts, if possible. Who doesn't want to enter the inland sea? But there is no way, the strength is not enough, some people have begun to prepare to go home,
At this time, they heard another person say, "Even if we are not strong enough, can we not unite with other people to do it?" There are so many people to do things. If you have hundreds of people and hundreds of people together, isn't it a few thousand people? If you accidentally reach the standard, you can go to the Inland Sea! "
"His" the tavern suddenly fell silent, and the people who were still talking were all silent. The source could not be verified, but the content that was said did make many small and medium-sized forces excited
"Combination may not be impossible!" The empire requires the 1,000-man head of the Congolese and African army as the standard for entering the inland sea. It is not difficult for the powerful forces of hòu, but it is a problem for the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. They The number of people is mostly between hundreds and a thousand. It is too difficult for them to kill a thousand Congolese and African troops.
But if it is a coalition, hundreds of people can become thousands, or even tens of thousands! To achieve the most basic goal is easy. By the third day, there were less than 50 ships still stranded in the port of Lisbon. The sailors who once filled the port disappeared.
Varisian walked to the blacksmith shop lined up under the city wall a little leisurely, and asked with a smile, "Are they all sold out? This time, we will dispose of the old weapons in the general warehouse, everyone. I’ve worked hard, I’ll treat you tonight, everyone eat and drink well, and each person will give one hundred gold coins."
Lisbonto returned to calm again. Someone made a lot of money, and the northern sea of Phu Tau on the other side began to boil
"Papa"
In the dark night, merchant ships full of armed sailors crashed into the coastal beach. The black shipboard smashed on the beach, and the two groups of warriors in light armor came down in groups from above, except for Hu Lun. The Clan and Dylans also held pre-war deployments in a similar manner. The other parties did not arrange in advance, nor did they hold the so-called unification meeting. They chose different landing points, but they were all concentrated in the distribution of the Congolese and African forces. On the Baili Coastal Defense Line, the first wave of attacks broke out in the Tulier area where the Hulun troops arrived. The two-community coalition with a total force of 20,000, hardly needs the slightest preparation~IndoMTL.com~ Go straight to the northern coast Tulier, one of the most important cities,
Tulier was the most important coastal city in the north during the period when Congolese Fei controlled Putau. Now it is one of the four base camps of the four infantry regiments who stayed at the coast of Congo Fei.
When the morning light slowly revealed from the east, a trace of gentle tearing apart the darkness of the earth, the mountains and plains outside the Ninestar Port were full of spring mountain flowers, and you could touch it by just stretching out your hand. The hazy light was shining on the flowers, the dewdrops on the petals exuded a rainbow of seven colors, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, all the grass blades began to shake, and the crystal clear dewdrops fell drop by drop. Thousands of Hulun warriors appeared on the outskirts of the port of Tulier. Because they avoided the coastline, they didn’t know about the Gangfei Outpost.
The crystal clear water drops wet their lightweight chain armor, making the gray-brown short-sleeved armor of the Hulun tribe full of mud. Looking at the half-moon-like coastal city in front, Hulunxisu A glimmer of cold light flashed in my eyes,
The ruins of the city wall seem to have been severely damaged. On the roof, there are signs of the Gangfei Army. You can see the patrolmen, but there are not many people. The fields outside the city are barren and the weeds are like a cluster The cluster of flower beds is really conducive to getting close,
was arresting a patrolman to confirm that the troops inside were less than 2,000. Hu Lunxisu raised his hand with a grinning smile and shouted, "Attacks across the board, not one! We only need heads!"
