Power and Empire Chapter 1983: Wild Winter Battle (1)
The stone bridge tens of meters long hangs above the 100-meter cliff, like a sky bridge connecting the inside of the valley with the outside, and people can't help but sigh the magic of the creation of all things in the sky. At this moment, a person is wearing a white dress. The young girl from China and Bahia was walking alone on this narrow stone bridge, and the wind from the mountain stream made a whining sound in her ears,
"What's the matter?" Hu Keqili, the general of the central empire, showed a trace of astonishment
"My lord, do you need to attack!" the adjutant asked in a low voice. The imperial crossbowmen lined up in front of them neatly raised their crossbows. The crossbow arrows have been wound. They can shoot any living thing on the stone bridge with a single command. Become a hedgehog,
"No, it's just a woman!" Hu Keqili hesitated, looked up at the sky, the time has not yet come
"Stop, or we will attack!" shouted a leader of the Emperor ** squadron standing in the forefront
The girl’s horse stopped thirty meters in front, and her eyes swept through the 100,000 elite Falcon Empire troops scattered like a huge fan in front. Even with the psychological preparation, she believed she had faced it alone. Following the chasing of Xiaoqi from Dongting, the girl was still pale when she was attacked by the killing intent, her delicate body trembling in the wind like a small flower,
Heavy armor like a cloud, army formation like a mountain, countless spears like a sea of woods,
She unconsciously compared the army in front with the murderous Dongting steppe people, and she discovered that the opponent’s soldier’s eyes were blood red like the Dongting steppe people, and there was a murderous intent in the cold. Only the elites who have been fighting for a long time can see through the eyes of life and death, and the red tassels on the heads of the soldiers in front are swept by the wind, but they are much more imposing than the leather hats of the prairie people, and they immediately ignited the main land like a flame, bringing people to others. The wind of the battle rushing over, is exactly like a whole, countless weapons that seem to be more bow-like. With a command, at the same time facing myself,
The girl instantly felt like she saw the most charming starlight in the night, the cold light of the cluster of arrows!
The gaze moved up slightly, and the girl’s black pupils tightened again. She saw a line of black long tubes, lifted towards the valley under the sun, like a dark black metal that would bring all the light away. Absorbed, on these long black tubes,
This is the destructive power of the other party. Counting silently, there are hundreds of them, and it can be seen that the other party has just shown affection, otherwise I am afraid that the current Yueshan valley is already wailing all over the valley!
"This is the empire within the long wall that is rumored not to lose to the people of the East Ting Prairie!" A scorching heat flashed in the girl's eyes, her hands holding the reins were squeezed tightly together, and her nails fell into the flesh. There was a tingling pain. In the face of such strength, Yue Gu’s resistance seemed so ridiculous,
"Even if you surrender, you are the hostage of Yue Shangu. You should be more hard-hearted."
The girl smiled bitterly at the corners of her mouth, tried her best to lift her neck, looked forward, and held up a temporary drafted letter with both hands. I tried my best and said loudly, "I am Yue Xin'er, the only daughter of Yueshan, the leader of Yueshan Valley. Yueshan Valley is willing to surrender. I ask to be a hostage in exchange for not attacking the valley for the time being. This is a document about taking over Yueshan Valley!"
The Yue family is a famous century-old general in the Chinese Empire. The ancestor Yue Long was also one of the three great generals in the empire. Although Yue Shan had average abilities, he was also a general. As a child of the general family, Yue Xin'er grew up in the army. It is not that Yue Xin'er who followed Yue Shan by his side had never seen the wind and rain of the Jiaohua. At the age of thirteen, he had seen the tragic massacre of the Dongting prairie cavalry after breaking through the border city. , At the age of fifteen, he drew a knife and hacked the first Dongting man to death,
"Hostage? What's the situation?" Hu Keqili looked at the girl in front of him in amazement. He was a little confused, but at least the other party was one person and one horse. There was absolutely no threat.
"Let go of the passage!" He hesitated, raised his hand, and ordered the soldiers in front to put Yue Xin'er over. The soldiers in front spread out to the sides like a tide.
Receiving the document from the girl, Hu Keqili opened it and took a look, his face changed slightly, "You are brave, but our request did not mention the hostages, and the attack order was issued by your majesty. This document I will Submit it to His Majesty the Emperor, and others can only rely on His Majesty to decide!"
"I have work! I hope I can follow the adults to meet your emperor" Yue Xin'er nodded and asked boldly
"Your Majesty will see you or not, it’s not for me to decide. I will report your request to your Majesty!" Hu Keqili hesitated for a moment, shaking his head and saying, soon, Hu Keqili will take Yue Shangu with you. Request to find the fat man,
"The other party asked to use hostages as collateral, in exchange for gradually controlling Yue Shan valley, instead of driving everyone out at once." After reading the document, the fat man tilted his head. The handwriting on the document is very new. It looks like it has just been drafted. Yes, I raised my head and glanced into the distance. The huge oval valley is like a large basin in the distance.
The fat man put down the negotiation letter in his hand, turned around and asked, "What was the name of the hostage you just said?"
"Yue Xin'er! Claiming to be the only daughter of Yue Shan, the leader of the Yue Valley!" Hu Keqili reported with respectful expression
"Yue Shan is willing to take the only daughter as a hostage, as a guarantee for our 3,000 troops to enter the valley to take over. With your understanding of Yue Shan, talk about your views!" The fat man turned his eyes to Murphy Obern, for Chang The form outside the wall is clear to Murphy Obern alone.
Murphy O'Brien bent over and quickly replied, "Yueshan has no sons, but only one daughter named Yue Xin'er. I have seen it several times. She is not bad in length. Yue Shan loves her very much. It is said that she has long threatened to The entire Yueshan Valley as a dowry, can hold the beauties back, and get the treasure of Yueshan Valley. People who are tempted to talk about it, but this only girl has a very high gaze, and she didn’t look at any of them, so she was outside the long wall. The migrants are called Yueshan Valley Phoenix Girl! This method adopted by the other party should be worried about the empire’s surrender""
"So, do you think the method of hostage guarantee is feasible?" Fatty's eyes flashed. If he replaced him, he would hesitate after a massacre like Sirius Valley happened!
"Yue Shan attaches great importance to this woman, even more importantly than to Yue Gu. If she is really taken as a hostage, Yue Shan's sincerity is more credible!" Murphy Obern's voice paused, and he definitely said, "Moreover, she is a hostage." I think this is the first force to be incorporated into the empire’s eastward advance!"
" In the case of the other party's request for surrender, the reckless use of force to seize may have an adverse effect on the future! Taking hostages of the other party and gradually controlling the other party can be regarded as an example for taking over other forces in the future, and The result of the resistance of the Sirius Mansion was the destruction of the entire clan, and Yue Gu’s willingness to surrender was preserved. Comparing the two results, other forces would know the difference between blocking the empire and surrendering to the empire, and how to express their opposition to the empire. Loyal!"
"Well, okay, you go and have a look, if it is indeed Yue Xiner herself, you can..." The fat man waved his hand in agreement, his voice suddenly stopped, he saw Taniguchi on the stone bridge Another person ran out, who seemed to be a Chinese man, and the soldiers in front stopped him. And escorted him off the horse
"What's the situation?" the fat man asked
"The subordinates passed immediately!" Hu Keqili hurried to the front, and soon returned in a hurry. He reported that, "Your Majesty, he is a Zhongbian who calls himself Song Hua! The other party called Yue Xin'er's guard, and There is also important information about the people in the East Ting Prairie that needs to be reported in person!"
"Song Hua? The Song Clan of the four wealthiest members of Central and Bahia?" The fat man smiled coldly. "As a person from Yueshan Valley, the other party did not talk about Yueshan Valley, but directly mentioned the main target of the empire, Dongting. Human, she has a bit of insight, and she is a lot smarter than this silly Yue Xiner who ran over and cried and shouted as a hostage."
"Bring him to see me!" The fat man waved his hand
"Yes! Hu Keqili led the way.
"Your Majesty. I have heard of this Song Hua, who is Yue Shan's confidant! But his external reputation does not seem to be good!"
Murphy Obern hesitantly reminded, "It is said that the last time the Sirius Mansion raided the Yue Valley, it was this secret letter that Song Hua sent to the Sirius Mansion in advance, but I don’t know why. The Sirius Mansion bumped its head in the Yue Valley. More than a thousand people died. Before leaving, the news that Song Hua was the secret line of the Sirius Mansion was revealed. Yue Shan still trusts Song Hua!"
"If I'm not mistaken. The Sirius Mansion was pitted by Song Hua's false hidden line! I used it as a wedding dress for the rise of Yueshan Valley!" The fat man turned his back and looked at the distant sky, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth. . He said, "It should be a not-so-simple person. After pitting the Sirius Mansion, Yue Shangu quickly rose up due to the battle and became a powerful force. This shows that this person has ambition, ability, and skill! It's a pity that he was wrong and has no ambitions. Yueshan! The empire needs such a person to serve, take the Yueshan Valley, the Sirius Mansion ahead, and then the area of the Dongting people, there will be the place that really determines the ownership of this piece of land!"
"I have sent scouts and sent people to build a former military camp 15 miles east of the Sirius River Valley, but the results have been minimal. The people of the Dongting prairie are moving and moving, and the herdsmen and the army are mixed. Together, it may change from a grazing state to a combat state at any time"
"Furthermore, the detection of the prairie scouts can reach two to three hundred miles in such an unobstructed wilderness. Our scouts were intercepted before they went deep. Strategically speaking, we are still blind at present, and the other party is in the sky. I polished my eyes after the Battle of Wolf Valley! Waiting for us in the wilderness to the east!"
The fat man's voice paused for a while, and continued, "Any news about Dongting people is very precious to us! The most important thing is that this Song Hua seems to be a caring person, now that he can cross from the direction of China and Bahrain. The entire wilderness, naturally, is more familiar with the terrain there than we are! As for reputation, the empire has never valued it! The empire values loyalty and ability!"
"Your Majesty!"
Murphy Obune's face was silent. He himself was a former general of Gaul. He once held the 200,000 army in the southwest of the Gaul Empire. Later in the Southwest War, he was the same as the southwestern civilians who died because of his attack on the southwest capital. There are as many as more than 200,000. In terms of reputation, his reputation may have long been stinking. At the beginning, he was forced to surrender to the empire. However, in the eyes of the Falcon Emperor, he still did not regard himself as a prejudice, instead Without concealing its importance, the 300,000 army base camp of the empire marching eastward is in Murphy City, and even the newly established provinces outside the long wall are named after Murphy’s surname.
It is false to say that Murphy O'Born was not touched, because once Murphy Province officially exists, even if the years have passed for thousands of years, people may not remember the countless generals in this Eastward War. Name, people will remember him as Murphy Obern
What the military pursues before life is glory, and what he pursues after death is not the same as the famous generals in the past. This move of the Falcon Emperor completely convinced himself! If you choose to betray the empire, you will also leave your name for thousands of years, but I am afraid it will be infamy!
"Your Majesty, the man has brought it!"
In a short while, Hu Keqili brought a 30-year-old man from China and Biyah. This man is slender and walks with a spirit of energy. There is no place around Hu Keqili who feels oppressive and restrained. If he is not very confident in his heart, then he has put life and death out of the picture.
"Song Hua bows to your majesty!"
Song Hua knelt on the ground with a smile of joy. According to the etiquette of seeing the emperor in Zhongbia, his forehead touched the ground. Although he did not know how big the Falcon Empire was, he also thought that he was an emperor in front of him. , A powerful man, full of hatred, finally had the opportunity to meet an imperial emperor. This feeling of excitement and tension made his neck look a little stiff
"Get up, this is not Central and Biya, so you can avoid it! You said you know the information of the Dongting people?" There was a voice from the other side, Song Hua trembled slightly, the emperor on the other side unexpectedly Knowing the ritual of three prayers and nine kowtows is enough to show that it is not completely strange to China and Bahia,
Raising his head, his eyes visibly flocked, standing in front of him turned out to be a young man from Central and Bahia, with black hair and black eyes, a sturdy body, and his eyes staring at him like a sharp sword. Under the pressure of people like a mountain, the emperor of the Falcon Empire is a Chinese and Byanese! Song Hua feels that his heart has been severely impacted
"Actually, the villain doesn’t know the movement of the Dongting people, but he will know soon!" Song Hua quickly lowered his head, concealing the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, squatted down and picked up the wood next to him. Zhi casually spent a map on the ground, and after marking a few points, he said
"Since Wugantai, who was the eyeliner of the Dongting people, was defeated by his majesty, the people on the grasslands knew about his majesty's arrival and began to prepare."
"According to the general rule, when the situation is unknown, you should choose to retreat temporarily, but the steppe people have always been a brave, fearless and proud people. It can also be said that they are a people who are not afraid of death and are stubborn about their own territory. The guardian heart, even in the face of a strong enemy, will fight bravely. Retreating because of fear is a shame for the prairie people. Hearing the horns of the tribe assembly, the nearby tribes will move to a place. "Song Hua He dragged a long stroke on the ground with a wooden stick, and said loudly, "So you can completely consider using pressure tactics to force its main force into field battles!"
"Of course I want to go straight to the den of the Dongting people and force them to fight with us? But the people of Dongting are uncertain about their migration~IndoMTL.com~Who knows where the lair is?" The fat man's eyes flashed, and he painted Song Hua's paintings. A glimpse of unexpected appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he was shocked, able to react in such a short period of time, and the other party had a very good understanding of the terrain east of Sirius Mansion, giving Fatty a kind of treasure. Feel like
"Your Majesty, the climate here is colder than inland. At the end of August and the beginning of September, it means that winter is coming soon!" Song Hua smiled slightly, the wooden branch stopped on the ground, his eyes focused on At a point on the ground, he suddenly said, "Winter in the wilderness is a cruel season for the prairie people. There are not many meadows for the prairie people to spend the winter. There are only one or two places. If the prairie people really gather their troops to prepare for it. In the case of the empire army, in the area two hundred miles east of Sirius Fugu, there are only two places where Dongting people can gather for the winter"
The wooden branches made a cross on the ground, and Song Hua said, “The Moang beach near the river beach can provide water and fish in winter, and the mountain backed by the mountain can block the winter wind and freeze a large number of livestock. Wendy,
Dongting people will ask all races to move closer to the main force to survive the harsh winter. As long as they send scouts to follow a little, they should be able to confirm the direction of the main force of the steppe people! When the time comes, the imperial army will press into the army. In order to ensure the safety of the winter tribes, the opponent's main force will definitely choose to take the initiative to fight! "(To be continued...)
