Power and Empire Chapter 1976: August wind and rain
August when grass grows eagles, even in winter, it looks like a spotless northern wilderness. At this moment, it is full of vigorous weeds. The dots of wildflowers appear to come out with raindrops, like a huge flower. The blanket spreads outside the city wall, white raindrops are flying in the wind, and there is a tingling chill on the face. The August rain in northern Obaro has the taste of early winter,
Murphy Obern stood on the high tower in the center of Murphy City, letting the piercing smile rain on the armor on his body, watching with a bit of satisfaction and pride at the humble settlement behind him in the rain. At the same time, the four roads are not considered to be a wide earth wall to outline a pattern of five miles long and wide. The house is built with the most extensive northern cemented soil nearby.
The number of houses is only more than 500, but the streets are horizontal and vertical, and the shadows are dotted. They have shown the scale that a city should have.
This is the Murphy family settlement that Murphy Obune spent countless efforts to establish. It is called "Murphy City". The distance between Murphy City and the northern long wall of the empire is one hundred and fifty miles. It is the northernmost city marked on the map of the empire, in an autonomous city,
The city wall is not wide, but it is well-defended. Arrow towers, outposts, especially the more than a dozen wide trenches that expanded outward from the city wall, are like huge cracks that cut open the northwestern land, looking rough and mad. Very imposing, the Murphy’s flag and a flying falcon are flying on the tower of the city wall. Only the boardwalk fixed in the middle can pass. The width of the board determines the number of people who can pass quickly. Under normal circumstances , The width of the plank is only enough for two carriages to run side by side. This is what Murphy Obune learned from the defense of the northern long wall of the Falcon Empire.
This kind of trench digging defense method can achieve obvious results at almost no cost. The trench is very useful for the effect of large-scale cavalry raids. It has more than doubled the defense power of Murphy City. The shooter above can suppress the enemy’s advance from a condescending position,
Compared with the domestic calm which is almost imperceptible to the storm of Sino-Bahia war. The feeling here is already a precursor to the siltation of the storm,
The huge dark cloud of war is shrouding the seemingly distant East. The term Dongting is expanding with the aftermath of the war between China and Bahrain, making people living here no longer feel novel.
Dongting Grassland Empire, cruel, bloody, and finally strong, extremely powerful. Longbow fast horses, arrow horses double fine, once the group advances, it will inevitably be the tragic sea of blood, this is a terrifying giant beast, this beast is fighting against the people of China, and it has a big mouthful to swallow The vigor of the entire Central and Bahia,
This is how all the Chinese people who fled from the East described. Most of them migrated because of the war in the country, and the northern part of the country was completely occupied. The border tribes that originally belonged to China and Biyah chose to move westward. Although they were thousands of miles away, the tragic battle that broke out on the land of China and Biyah still made Murphy Obern feel cold from these migrants.
A year ago, Murphy City was just a small fortress stationed by Murphy Dragon Cavalry. Murphy Obion needed to create everything by himself in a difficult environment, but in this year. There are more and more refugees from the east. Murphy City in Murphy Obern, as a nearby refugee, rarely has a big city with offensive and defensive integration. Becoming the first choice for these eastern refugees and small tribes from the East, Murphy Dragon Knight’s sphere of influence has gradually expanded, and it has gradually grown to have a scale of more than 30,000 residents, and the city is the center of its control. In the vicinity of one hundred and fifty miles, four small settlements also voluntarily attached to Murphy City
Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry wearing glyphed heavy armor and holding a golden spear flag high in his hands. The aura of the whole body armor makes the wandering tribes respectfully called "Holy Land Cavalry". Most of them come from the East. For the small tribes, the combat power of the holy land cavalry is not generally strong, because many tribes have found that, under normal circumstances, the rangers of the east court will not take the initiative to provoke the holy land cavalry, the east court people. There are also opponents to fear, which makes Murphy City’s prestige to the peak
" Fetang, as a general of Central and Piazza who once fought against the Eastern Court, I would like to ask you, if we clash with the Eastern Court cavalry, who do you think has the greater chance of winning?" Murphy City drew back his gaze in the direction of infinite longing, and asked a black-haired young man next to him in a condensed voice.
" If it is a battle of less than a hundred people, the Murphy Dragon Armor of the adult will be a complete victory against any enemy, but if it is a battle of more than 100,000 people..." The young man called Feitang People's eyes were somewhat natural and extraordinary, and they asked inexplicably, "But the Dongting people are still fighting in Zhongbia, so they probably won't come here!"
This young man is dressed in Murphy Drag Cavalry decorations. He has sharp and bright eyes, black hair and black eyes. His face is full of heroism. At his waist, he wears a sword in the style of the Empire of China and Biya, and the hilt hangs golden. The colorless Jian Sui does not look as strong and powerful as Murphy O'Brien's sturdy body, but it also gives people a sense of fitness and symmetry.
The young man is the leader of a stray cavalry rescued by Murphy Obern. I don’t know what caused the Dongting people to drive west for thousands of miles. In the end, less than five people fainted and died in the wilderness. I was rescued by Murphy Obern, who was patrolling with his subordinates, out of gratitude to Murphy Obern’s life-saving grace, and the Dongting people had cut off the way back to Central Bahia, and the young people stayed there. Beside Murphy Obern, he changed his name to Feitang. Now he is an officer of the Murphy Dragon Armour who is responsible for communicating with the refugees in China and Biya. He has excellent talents. The city of Murphy can expand rapidly, and young people are indispensable.
"I don’t want to ask either, but according to the latest report from the scout who went to explore the way, I don’t know why, the Cang regiment of the eight legions of the Dongting Empire, which was originally in a free state, suddenly began to change its previous wait-and-see attitude. Gathered in the Gangra River two hundred miles away, the force has exceeded 20,000. The total number is not yet clear, but judging from the frequency of scouts sent by the other side to investigate here, this will be the precursor of a tragic battle "Ofeo Boone smiled bitterly. "If it were before, I would not hesitate to lead my subordinates to withdraw to the safe imperial long wall defense line. The number of our Murphy Dragon Cavalry has been continuously damaged by battle, and it has dropped to less than 20,000. It is the preservation of our strength. The best policy is that things like the main army of the East Court empire should be handed over to the empire of the powerful hòu to deal with it, but it is no longer possible. The number of refugees in the eastern part of Murphy Dragon Armor has reached 80,000, and they have given up countless pours. Murphy City of painstaking efforts. For myself and all the Murphy Cavalry who worked hard for it, it was an extremely cruel decision. This was a whole year, braving the cold and snow, and countless soldiers desperately maintained things, so I thought Ask, you have fought with the Dongting people, I need a real evaluation!"
"Empire? Your lord is talking about the area within the long wall?"
Fei Tang's eyes flashed with curiosity, and his voice was trembling. He came to Murphy's Dragon Armor for half a year. But it has not yet entered the range of the long wall, because the extremely large wall cuts off the eyes of most people. Only Murphy Orb can lead fifty guards into it, and then there is another force. , A prairie tribe called Dongting, although they are also prairie people, but this Dongting tribe is completely different from the eastern Dongting. The leader is a middle-aged leader named Wallahe, and the settlement is called "Mo Figure ". It is said to be the holy city of this tribe
Fei Tang has seen this Walahe, the sturdy grassland people are not fake, but it really has nothing to do with the distant East Court, it seems to be a small tribe classified by the grassland people. But according to Walahe's statement, he was actually a subordinate of a powerful princess princess, who came here just to settle in advance, and Feitang seemed noncommittal about such a statement. Almost all the people on the grassland have this habit, saying that they are the descendants of the longevity and the heaven, and the descendants of the great golden race. It is a branch of a large tribe. According to the understanding of young people, the people of the steppes value pedigree and status, and especially value the status of Zhongbia
But yesterday, the young man saw with his own eyes a prairie cavalry of about five thousand men arrived in Motu City in Wallahe. This cavalry was equipped with a sophisticated black vest, and its weapons were sharp and sharp, which seemed to be a real battle. Army, not Walla and the hundreds of half-grazing and half-living skirmishers
Are they also cavalry from the Empire? The young man hesitated and felt Murphy Obern’s unspeakable emotions and decided to tell the truth.
" Your Lord’s Murphy Dragon Armor is well-equipped and excellent in combat power. However, the supply logistics requirements are too high. Only armor repair requires a professional armor craftsman. Once a war breaks out, I am afraid it will greatly restrict Murphy Dragon. The continuous combat capability of the armored cavalry. In this regard, the Eastern Cavalry, who has a long-bow horse and can continue mobile combat with very little supplies, is undoubtedly superior."
" Is it? Sure enough, mobility is the weakness of Murphy’s dragon armor. What you said is very similar to what someone said. The difference is that that person used to face one hundred against one hundred, completely crushed. The Murphy Dragon Cavalry who crushed me!" Murphy Obern nodded slightly, his eyes flashed with a flash of memory
"Crush!" Fei Tang was taken aback by Murphy Obern's words, how could this be possible! , I can't believe it,
He thought that Murphy Obone was joking, but Murphy Obone’s serious face didn’t look like a joke. Featang held the horse's rein tightly, and his heart was shocked again. He came It has been half a year since the Murphy Dragon Cavalry. In his eyes, the Murphy Obern’s Murphy Dragon Cavalry’s equipment is absolutely top-notch. The hòu heavy armor can withstand most weapons, except for the sharp spear. Breakthrough, there is no way with other weapons. This is a real top heavy cavalry. It is a forcibly advanced killing machine on the battlefield. It is one hundred to one hundred, which is similar to the Murphy's dragon cavalry who wears exquisite heavy armor and is armed to the teeth. Compared with the fact that the elite cavalry of Central and Biyah that he had led was absolutely dead and not even scum, they were absolutely crushed. But such top heavy cavalry was crushed one-on-one. . . . .
" It’s no surprise that Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry may be a very powerful cavalry in your eyes, but they are not the strongest in the empire. The real strongest cavalry is within the long wall!"
Murphy Obern sighed deeply. In the year struggling on the border, the former Gaul star has reduced a lot of his original resentment. The other party was able to keep his promise and really let himself take With Murphy's dragon cavalry to develop in this blank area, the falcon emperor's heart and mind is enough to make people admire, a true emperor's posture
Although it is far away from the core area of the empire, Murphy Obern will return to the long border wall once a month. He is no stranger to news about the war between the empire and Gaul. The news brought back from last month shows , The empire has completely annexed Gaul, and it can be regarded as helping itself to avenge part of it
, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" Suddenly there was a rush of bells in the direction of the city wall,
"En? What's the matter?"
Murphy Obern's eyes were a little startled, could the Dongting people already start to want to do it? I saw in the rain curtain ahead, the sound of horseshoes was like thunder rolling, a group of murderous black armored cavalry galloping from a distance, black armored horses, the iron armor on the horse's head and chest reflects the white light of the rain, and the cold is pressing. At first glance, it is a fierce beast equipped for murder,
"Is the Imperial Patrol Cavalry!"
Murphy Obern’s pupils shrunk, like a cluster of black arrows moving at high speed. At the gate location, the horses patrolling the cavalry rushed into the gate of Murphy City like a sharp blade cutting the rain screen, where the horseshoe passed, The muddy water accumulated on the gray stone slab spreads out like flowers,
The captain of the patrol cavalry leader jumped off his horse, and handed the reins in his hands to the soldiers at the door. A dozen cavalrymen stopped at the door, their horses hoofs raised high and stopped, but there was nothing like it. Dismounting and rest as usual, this is a posture that needs to start at any time.
"Go~IndoMTL.com~Let’s take a look!" Murphy Obern’s face became more solemn when he saw the other person approaching the central tower, and he waved his hand to Fei Tang behind him. In the hall, Mo Fiobone looked a little surprised as he walked in to patrol the cavalry captain "Formona, what are you?"
" Lord Murphy! "The captain of the patrol cavalry made a very serious imperial gift to Murphy Obern. The rain was flowing along the armor of his body on the ground, and the captain of the patrol cavalry was unscrupulous on one knee. Kneeling down, took out a document sealed in the wooden barrel from his arms, held up his hands and said, "The Emperor's Order, please arrive at the Long Wall Defense Line within three days to participate in the Emperor's Affairs Meeting"
"Emperor Affairs Meeting?"
Murphy Obern was slightly surprised. Although he belonged to the Empire, the Empire also gave him considerable respect. There were almost no combat orders. Occasionally, patrol cavalry sent some supplies, but this time was completely different. In the past, the patrol cavalry was lightly armed, but this time it is indeed a rare and fully armed. This is a combat posture! "
After receiving the military order document, Murphy Obern asked, "May I ask, who is presiding over the meeting this time?"
The captain of the patrol cavalry hesitated and nodded and said, "Since it's Lord Murphy, of course, you can. Your Majesty is presiding over the meeting this time! Your Majesty is at the Long Wall!"
" No wonder... "Murphy Obune's eyes flashed suddenly, and I said that there was a **** repressive smell in this sudden storm! It is estimated that Dongting people feel the same way!
