Power and Empire Chapter 2518: Thunderstorm (38)
Horseshoes splashed into the mud on the river beach, rushing in the dark, the war horse stopped by Princess Oona of the Fazer Kingdom,
Three thousand king cavalrymen are rushing from east to west along the south bank of the four-lens water, the largest river in the capital area. In order to get rid of the chase of the noble cavalry, the king cavalry detoured to the lower reaches of the river for twenty miles. The horses are non-stop, the night is heavy and damp, the horses and the horses are covered with mud and dust. Even Princess Oona has a thin layer of veil on her face to block the smell of blood coming on her face.
On the river in front of the river, there are countless corpses in the rolling waves of the river, and the river water is red.
"My lord, there are too many dead bodies in the river, and the river has skyrocketed, but swimming is not a problem"
A Wang Jun scout had an ugly face, turned back from the side of the river, and reported to the cold-looking Ranrut that the upper reaches of the river were the hundreds of thousands of citizens who had fled from Nurem. There were so many corpses, I’m afraid the upper reaches are already covered. The sea of blood, the king army cavalry who stopped by the whole team, their faces were a little pale. As a soldier, it’s not that they have never seen a dead person, but the river in front of you can be described as a river of blood, which can dye the entire river red to such an extent. , How much human blood is needed!
"Lan Rute, are we just like this..."
The proud princess Una, her face pale as paper, no matter how strong and self-confessed, she still has difficulty adapting to such a **** scene. The battle between the royal family and the military, the betrayal of the nobles, now It all turned into the most intuitive river of blood in front of me, the country broke the mountains and rivers, it turned out to be like this
"Your Royal Highness, we have done our best"
Lanrute calmly waved his hand, interrupting Princess Una to continue talking. From the moment the king's capital forced the Nuremites to withdraw from the king, the cruelty of the war is no longer one by one. The captain of the royal palace guard can control it. As the king’s most trusted confidant, no one knows better than him how embarrassing and complicated the situation that His Majesty needs to face. Betrayal, not only from the inland nobles, but In the royal capital area, how many people are thinking about how to find a way out in this turmoil
The weakening of the royal family was not formed in a short period of time, but a slow process of nearly half a century. It turned out that the northern inland nobles and the royal family echoed each other against the military forces from the west coast, and now they are connected to the northern inland. The nobles are also on the side of the military, can the king be able to defend it? The fall of the Alec Fortress shakes not only the alliance between the noble army and the military, but also the hearts of the people in the royal capital area. Under the combined force of the military and the nobles, the royal capital area has been managed by the royal family for a century. In the base camp, this kind of turbulence is inevitable.
This is the situation, it’s popular. If it weren’t for the brutal greed shown by the northern inland nobles after they entered the royal capital area, the nobles in the Kyoto area would be scared. I’m afraid that more than half of the nobles would choose to live in the past. It's over, do you still have to tie up together to die?
The King Capital forced the city of Nurem to flee. It was the idea of using these hundreds of thousands of Nuremians as a deterrent. The king needed the blood of these hundreds of thousands of Nuremians to make all the cities in the entire capital city. And the nobles know that they have no choice, either to follow the royal family and fight hard to the end, or be killed by these noble army locusts
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said to Princess Una. In order for the royal family to have the power to fight the military, His Majesty has planned for ten years. Now that the most critical juncture is reached, how can accidents be allowed, from ten years Earlier, His Majesty the King deliberately built Nurem into the second largest city in the capital, a key area for material hoarding. At the same time, it took all the nobles who were dissatisfied with the royal family for ten years to gradually gather these opposing forces in Nurem. At the same time, in the name of the defensive center of gravity, there are 30,000 direct troops stationed all year round. This is not what I want!
As for the reason why His Majesty the King asked Princess Una to participate in this scene, Lanrutcha is one of the few people who knows,
His Majesty the King has decided to marry the Falcon Empire. Originally, His Majesty was prepared to wait until the end of the war before retaking the West Coast from the Empire. However, the Imperial Army displayed a series of outstanding methods on the West Coast, allowing the entire Fazer to be there. Staggering, just a reciprocal punishment decree solved the problem of slaves and subordination, known as the dead knot. Lanrut still remembers the unconcealable shock on His Majesty's face when he looked at the reciprocal punishment decree. It was also this decree that made His Majesty the King change his previous plan. With this decree, there is no doubt that the empire can stabilize the west coast. Fazer can seize the west coast from an empire still in the mud, but absolutely Can’t seize the West Coast from an empire supported by millions of slaves,
"Since you can’t seize it, then unite! Take Una, as the princess of the royal family, while enjoying the royal treatment and the respect of countless people, she is burdened with the consciousness of sacrificing herself at all times of need. How can a royal princess who has been cruel to war know how much responsibility is on her shoulders?" His Majesty the King’s pale hair. The command standing in front of the window is like a knife, deep in Lanrut’s heart, the road to the rise of the royal family is destined to be a road paved with countless corpses. Those upstream Nuremians are not necessarily worthy of death. , But for this war, they must die! The horses jumped into the **** river. The three thousand king army cavalrymen crossed the river forcibly, eating and sleeping on horses, and finally reached the capital of Fezer the next afternoon, but behind the king army cavalry, more than 200,000 Of the Nuremians were slaughtered by the noble army,
Fatty stood in front of him, looking up at the bright starry sky above his head, dazzling stars and charming nebulae, flashing in the black night, a meteor on the horizon, like a thread of light against the sky, The long white comet tail traverses the sky, the broom star, the ominous trick, Fatty's eyebrows frowned slightly, Fatty is not someone who believes in the fate, but he is very sensitive to this dangerous breath,
In the empty and bright office, a map of Fazer hung on the wall, and several shocking arrows converged together to the location of the capital of Fazer. The red one is the Fazer frontier defense army, and the blue one is the noble army. The two colors have occupied half of the royal capital area, and the yellow color representing the royal power is mainly concentrated in the royal capital, and there are many blank areas between the three colors, which means that the royal capital area is not yet A city that fully expresses its attitude,
As you can see from this map, the disadvantaged position of the royal family is straightforward.
"Three days ago, the three thousand royal cavalrymen left the capital for Xia in the name of escorting Princess Una, but our people in Xia did not see these cavalry arrive. Do you think these cavalry's targets will be Where is it?" The fat man's voice echoed in the empty room, as if talking to himself.
"The subordinates also received the report, but there are only three thousand cavalrymen, the subordinates don't think it can cause much change?" The Secretary of the Navy Dustrum Kai, standing behind the emperor, was shocked, although the empire did not participate. In this battle of Fezer's power, he was extremely concerned about the actions of Fezer's capital. It is not surprising that the emperor knew this information. The question was, how could the emperor pay attention to this trivial three thousand cavalry? There were 50,000 nobles who broke into the capital of Fazer, and the border guards also had nearly 100,000. Unless they were 3,000 heavy cavalry, they were just a test stone thrown into the deep pool in this battle, Duss. Trenkay told His Majesty that there was no need to value these three thousand cavalry so much!
"Hehe, a man who has planned for so long, at this moment, suddenly released three thousand cavalry, do you think it is just to test it?"
The corners of Fatty’s mouth smiled coldly, "All strategies and tactics designed to win victory are the ultimate essence of calculating each other!" Fatty's eyes were cold, his slender fingers gently touched the cold and smooth window glass, and followed them. The light on the window slides. "I have a hunch that King Fazer is already starting to fight back. Otherwise, if he hasn't survived to the final turn, the situation in the capital will make him powerless. , Once most people think that the king has no chance of winning, then they will discard the king without hesitation! I believe that King Fazer knew this!"
"Your Majesty means that the other party suddenly called out three thousand cavalry to fight back?" Dusterenkai's expression changed. From the beginning, the emperor thought that the royal family would win, but as the military and The noble army has entered the royal capital area one after another. Judging from the battle reports received so far, the disadvantage of the royal capital is so obvious. The cities in the royal capital area are not all on the side of the royal capital. The Fazer royal family is now completely in the storm. The one-leafed boat in China could be destroyed by the noble army and the military at any time, and Dusterenkai did not know where the emperor’s confidence came from?
"I don't know, I just think there is something incomprehensible to the dispatch of these three thousand cavalry"
The fat man shook his head. The situation of the royal army was so bad. He took a deep breath. The fat man turned his head and waved his hand to Dustlenko. "Tell the intelligence department to pay more attention to the three thousand cavalry. Especially their direction of departure and when they will return!"
"Yes!" Du Stellenkai stood at attention and replied in a condensed voice. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor pay attention to the three thousand cavalry, Du Stellenkai also felt something was wrong. At this moment, the king should also It is overwhelming, how can the precious mobile combat power of the three thousand king army cavalry be sent to the capital? Leaving the emperor’s room, before reaching the position of the steps, a guard officer hurriedly walked up with a report,
"What's the matter?" asked Dusterenkai, this is the place where the naval port is being built by the Imperial Navy, so for the time being he, the Minister of the Navy, will be the person in charge of handling affairs.
" Your lord, an emergency report from the Fazer capital, the Fazer noble army slaughtered 200,000 citizens of Nurem in order to rob the property in the Lairula River, and then fought with Fazer’s border guards. The Fifth Army of the Army fought, and the two sides killed thousands of people in each battle! "The guard officer looked serious, stood at attention, and sent the report with both hands. Although Dustrum Khai was a minister of the navy, there was no imperial soldier. He would think that the minister of the navy was not a famous commander of the empire. On the contrary, the commander-in-chief of the navy who swept across the sea with the imperial navy in one hand, and the man who was passed on as the "god of sea" by the outside world, is himself a legend in the hearts of the imperial soldiers, since three years ago When the empire opened its inland waters, the status of the navy was on par with that of the army.
"Thousands of people died in the battle!"
Du Slunkai took the report with a look of stunned expression, carefully read the contents inside, and suddenly felt an explosion in his head. The three thousand kings cavalry who had left from the capital appeared in the report, Wang The cavalry ambushed the noble cavalry who followed, and then disappeared in the pursuit. However, it was precisely because of the aggressiveness of the king's cavalry that the noble army, which was supposed to be slow, speeded up and bit it. The massacre of the citizens of Nurem who evacuated from Nurem broke out in the river area. More than 200,000 people were slaughtered for a full afternoon, and then the Fitzger Fifth Army appeared by chance.
"What is this! Does the dog bite the dog!"
Dustellenkai’s head was full of black lines, and the hand holding the report couldn’t help tightening. The emperor’s words were fulfilled so quickly. The departure of the three thousand cavalry from the capital is indeed not a trivial matter, although I don’t know the end. How did it happen, but if it were not for these three thousand king cavalrymen, the noble army would never have torn away from the military so early. Now there are thousands of casualties erupting, which is enough to break the alliance between the two sides. , The royal capital almost effortlessly turned the noble army and border guards from the alliance ~IndoMTL.com~ into enemies! And what shocked him the most was the movement of the three thousand king cavalrymen. Did these king cavalry resist or anger the noble army? Damn it! The blood of two hundred thousand people, if this is what King Fazer planned, could it be that ice is flowing in the veins of King Fazer?
With full of shock, Du Stellenkai sent the report to the emperor’s office, opened the door, and saw the emperor standing in front of the window, gazing at the night scenery outside, the pair of black stars felt dreamlike at a glance Eyes, quietly staring into the distance,
"Your Majesty, the latest report received from King Fazer, the movements of the three thousand cavalry have been found!" Dusterenkai lowered his head,
"What kind of report?" The fat man asked directly, his eyes were clear with a hint of chill. The fat man had a foreboding. The three thousand king army cavalry are not rats. It is not that they can be hidden by hiding. Three days , How can there be some movement, the reason why he did not get the news, either the news was still on the way, or it was ignored, so he said the above to Dustlenko
"Your Majesty, just look at it." Dusterenkai opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know how to explain it clearly. He simply passed the report directly and used three thousand cavalry to induce the division of the nobles and the military. The blood of 200,000 Nurem citizens made the entire king stand on the side of the royal family. Such a method, as the emperor said, has reached the level of turning a conspiracy into art, but the slaughtered souls of Nurem will not Acknowledge that the noble army and border guards from the alliance to the fire union will not admit this! The counterattack of the Faze royal family, with the blood of the enemy and the blood of his own! 〖To be continued〗【】
