Power and Empire Chapter 3288: Wind up (8)
The coastal city of Feshan, Badia, in the evening, the sunset is sprinkled on this fortified city with a mountain back and the sea. The 10-meter-high city wall surrounding the city leaves a large shadow behind the sunset, a little dark wall, From time to time, deep gaps are revealed, which seem to be smashed by a huge impact. There are also cobweb-like cracks on the sections of some city walls.
Two years ago, Emperor Thoradin, the emperor of Istanbul, personally commanded 300,000 Istanbul troops and launched a full-line invasion of Feshan. War spread. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought on Feshan’s land. The Istanbul Army relied on Its powerful offensive power penetrated Fei Shan’s sideline in just one month, and the troops were on the front line. Fei Shan’s army mainly adopted a policy of strong walls and clearing the country. The Prince of Istanbul proposed a strategic proposal to bypass Fei Shan’s defensive core. Leading a left-wing army of sixty thousand along the Feshan coastline, it was the fortress city of Badya that was finally blocked.
The prince of Istanbul carried out a siege of Badya for half a month. From the beginning to the end of the battle, he never stopped the attack. Tens of thousands of troops fought fiercely for half a month, killed and wounded countlessly, and was responsible for the left line. The three chiefs of the Istanian army have personally participated in the battle several times, brandishing machetes and climbing the city wall with the soldiers, but in the end they did not break through Badya
Don't fall into the fortress Badya, so it became famous,
"As long as Badya can hold the imperial army's offensive, in order to get a hand as soon as possible to appease the refugees, the imperial only option is to start negotiations with us"
"If Badya really can repeat history once again, then everyone can propose to obey the empire as the overlord and restore the existence of the Feshan Kingdom. This model is quite common in the empire’s rule. The empire should be restored as soon as possible. The Feshan area will certainly agree to our suggestions. When the Feshan Kingdom is restored, your noble titles and rights will naturally be restored.” In a letter from Grace, the head of the rebellion nobles, to the Feshan nobles, The beautiful blueprint drawn to the nobles has a fatal attraction for the nobles who have been living hard for the past year and thinking about returning to the luxury life of the past, and they soon attracted five points in Feishan. Fourth, the wealthy and nobles gathered towards Badya,
The suspension bridge of Badya city has been pulled up high. Even in the daytime, every resident who enters and exits the city gate has to undergo multiple inspections. The atmosphere of war is strong here, even if you breathe. It can be felt that Lakoye, the chief of the internal affairs of the Empire Feshan, led the empire army to the city of Danze.
For the first contact, Danzac City was almost beaten and collapsed. Gullad, who was in charge of defending Danzac City, returned to Badya the next day under the name of being injured. For a while, he was panicked.
When I heard that I was going to appoint another leader from Denzer's side, the Feshan nobles who clamored to fight the empire in the past immediately wilted. The nobles are not fools, even if there are hot-blooded young people who want to stand. When you come out, you will be pressed down by the family elders. At this time, going to Danzi is a dead end. A place like Danzi is not a military fortress like Badya, but a small city with only five thousand guards. Before that, half of the previous wave was defeated, and now we can still put together three thousand people, even if it is the sky, and the attacking party is a solid 20,000 army of the Empire, even if the commander is the chief of the interior of the Feshan region of the Empire, and It is not a real military heavy general, but it does not mean how much the emperor’s combat power will be weakened. Even if the opponent only uses half of its troops, it is enough to trample the small city of Danze into powder!
When the news of the Danze Guardian War came, in the conference hall, a nobleman from the former Feishan military department heard the news, and when he heard the news, an aquamarine wine glass he was playing with fell on the spot. On the ground, this man is the former Duke of Farina, the former Deputy Chief of the Feshan Military Department. He has the title of defensive master in the Feshan military. The defensive counterattack strategy that blocked the entire invasion of the Istanian army two years ago was proposed by him. Came out,
"It's over! The idiot Gould killed us!"
The former military chief Fei Shan looked at the jewels all over the floor, and under the stunned eyes of everyone, his face was gloomy for a long time and he uttered a word, "Master Farina, Dan Ze can resist the Emperor's ** Isn’t the offense very good? Why is your excellency so expression? "The nobles next to him looked at him blankly
Although Feshan has declined, there is no shortage of military talents. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand between the two major regions of Central Europe and the Istanian Empire for three hundred years. Even at the last moment, he even played a small army, but was just by the empire. The emperor came to Bavarian and destroyed the entire military command from the king to the general. This led to the embarrassment that Feshan’s capable generals were almost never embarrassed.
So this Lord Farina is already the few remaining military commanders with considerable experience and combat experience in Fei Shan's military, and he is also the current chief in charge of the defense of Badya! Won the trust of the Feishan nobles, I should have been happy to hear that Dan Ze was holding on. Suddenly I saw Farina so gaffey, and suddenly became deadly silent. Everyone's eyes saw Farina
"What do you know! Can't you see it? The chief of internal affairs of the empire Feshan, Lakoye, obviously did it on purpose!" Duke Farina said with an old face flushed in anger, angrily, "The Imperial Army fights Dan Ze, the disparity in strength is so obvious, how could it not be able to attack! The small city of Dan Ze did not expect to be able to block the attack of the emperor, just as an avant-garde of Badya, lost Dan Ze, and Bad Ya, that were all subordinates of the lunatic Varysien, who had made great achievements in battle, and could also be ranked among the elite of the empire, but now this tiger army has encountered such a big mold at the outpost of Danze. According to The emperor’s team’s nature that Jacques must repay, I’m afraid that if I don’t attack Badya in one breath, I will not swallow this suffocation. There are still some reservations, but now it must be full, but this is fine, if it is a choice. , I also hope to have a brilliant closing performance opportunity"
The Duke of Farina smiled bitterly. As the former Deputy Chief of the Feshan Military Affairs Department, he fainted during the formulation of the battle plan. He was relieved by His Majesty the King and he did not follow the King to participate in the Battle of Bavaria. The undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs regarded all his colleagues as the biggest stain in life. His Majesty also died. He lived on his own. He watched the country that devoted his life to the pain of the country’s subjugation overnight. For the old man who is able to rise, Shan’s grief is greater than his heart’s death. Participating in Fei Shanfu's this time is entirely from a dead end. From the very beginning, Duke Farina did not think that Badya could To withstand the onslaught of the Imperial Army team, only those nobles who don’t know anything can believe that a mere Badya can stop the attack of the Imperial Army team that wiped out the two empires and countless small and medium-sized countries. The emperor team is so easy to be blocked, there will not be such a vast empire territory now!
I heard that Duke Farina, who knows military affairs well, said that the Feshan nobles in the conference hall are also frying pan
"It's over, how can the Emperor ** team not be able to beat a small Danze, this is simply a sinkhole. "A fat Fei Shan nobleman wants to cry without tears, the dignified 20,000 Emperor ** team unexpectedly Can't beat a little Danze? This is not what it is to deliberately deceive people, although everyone is gathering in the Badia area to make trouble for the restoration of the country, and it is blocking you, Lord Lakoye, you should not do this!
"I think that Lord Farina is too worthy of the Imperial Army, even if he can do his best, this is Badya, not the fortress Badya! At the beginning the Istan army did not defeat the Imperial Army. The same can’t beat Badya." A young Feshan noble cast his lips in disdain. During the time in Badya, the young nobles gathered every day and said too many times. Even they believed in Badiya. Ya can hold,
Farina was silent when he heard what the young nobleman said.
"An old man is an old man. It is not just physical aging, but psychological aging is also the same. Even Algorina was also a well-known celebrity at the time, but he couldn’t resist the aggression of the years and was able to say It’s so irrational.” Seeing Farina’s silence, the young noble’s expression became even more triumphant. He said in a cold voice, “I’ve never seen the Emperor’s team, nor is it a monster with three heads and six arms. Will bleed, the battle of Bavarid that destroyed the kingdom at the beginning, if it weren’t for your Majesty’s will, the 300,000 army wouldn’t have all died in Bavaria. Now we are the defensive side, since we have strangled flesh and blood. In Bavarid, why can’t there be another slaughter in Badia!"
"Arrogant!"
The Duke of Farina's old body trembled slightly, and his fingers squeezed sharply. The young and arrogant posture of the other party made him feel a sense of depression. His lips twitched, and finally he said nothing. What? I won’t believe it if I said it. Tell someone like this about the strategy and the power of the emperor. Either my head was caught by the door, or I was accidentally kicked by the horse when I went out!
Farina closed his eyes at all when he heard the noble graciousness. He knew he must be like a clown at the moment, helping the enemy to talk to the cowards. In the final analysis, these people are just nobles, not real. Soldiers, the real ex-soldiers either died in Bavaried, or they chose to leave the country and go outside to find opportunities for rejuvenation. The rest of the group either missed the old people in the past or refused to abandon their family roots. The Scrooge, or a group of passionate and impulsive dudes, these nobles’ impression of the imperial military team was only established in this year, but the imperial military team they saw were all from the empire. Most of the heavy weapons were not moved with the regiment. Soldiers were quite lazy when they arrived at Feishan. They were originally combat rotations, but coming to Feishan was like a vacation.
"The impression of the emperor’s army is not much stronger than when I saw the Istanbul squad. It just feels that in some respects, the emperor’s squad is not as strong as the Istanbul army, because the emperor’s squad is all The number of professional soldiers is completely incomparable with the regular army mixed with slave troops in the Istanbul army. "The Feshan nobles have seen a lot of them, and naturally they think that the emperor’s army is like this. If Varisian knew it, he would sweep the south. The combat elite of the coalition forces is so unbearable in the eyes of Fei Shan and the nobles, I am afraid that I will say "I'm sorry everyone, let everyone down"
However, Varisian couldn’t help it. As the joint governor of the Feshan and Istanbul region, the emperor gave him the main responsibility as the military force of the empire. The army was garrisoned, as if hanging high in the south. The sharp blade exerts pressure on all southern countries that are hostile to the empire. Varisian’s main energy is naturally in the Istanbul region known as the North-South Corridor
Compared with Feshan Mountains, the Great Plains of Istanbul has rich products, mild climate, and well-established transportation lines and coastlines built by the Istan Empire. It is very suitable for the stationing and supply of troops, far more than the mountainous and hilly Feshan The region is favorable. Fei Shan is originally the impact zone of the two major plates. The coastline gradually rises from south to north, forming patches of mountains. Except for the coastal zone which is slightly flatter, many areas are still Yangchangshan Road~IndoMTL.com~ even if it is an empire. It took a lot of effort. Until now, the imperial wide-open trade road has not really run through the Feshan area. Therefore, many goods passed through Feshan and still used traditional sea transportation. In such a difficult terrain, the Istan Army at the time It was to attack against the trend, and was gradually blocked by Fei Shan's side and dragged down!
Feishan area itself suffered a sharp decline due to the difficulty in recovering after the war. The male population has fallen even harder to see. Among the total population of more than 4 million, there are only 800,000 men. If you remove the old and the weak, you can There are 400,000 young people who can reach the sky. This kind of population is placed in the rich inland area of the empire, which is the population size of a province. In the entire year, Varithian's garrison in the Feshan area did not exceed 20,000. , A troop comes, and a troop walks like a revolving lantern. If you count the city guards recruited from various places to maintain public order, the total is less than 50,000. For a male population like Fei Shan of 800,000, the territory is only For the regions of the medium-sized kingdom, the allocation of such forces is actually too heavy. Because of insufficient labor, insufficient arable land, and insufficient grain output, Fei Shan’s biggest weakness is unless a large amount of labor is transferred to open up wasteland, or the The entire coastline is revitalized, otherwise it would be impossible to change this status quo.
Head Grace sat on the main seat of the conference hall, rubbing his temples a little tiredly, his eyes falling through the window to the vast land far east. The afterglow of the setting sun has gradually disappeared, and the end of the line of sight is beginning to be dark. I can see nothing except farmland, wilderness and woods. I can't help but sigh in my heart, or that person is right, Feishan’s death is just Sooner or later, even if there is no empire, Fei Shan will be dragged down by herself, because Fei Shan's foundation is too weak, more than a hundred years of hoarding, can support an outbreak is already at the limit! Either collapse or perish later"
