The drizzle rained all over the sky, and the clouds in the sky began to accumulate thicker and thicker starting in the afternoon, covering the sun and obscuring the sky, until dusk finally rained down. The fastest update┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛In the distance, going straight up to the Hokuriku Plateau, covered in rain powder, like smoke and fog, raindrops on the face, soaked in cold, watching the black smoke rising from the mountain road in the distance, Estante A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Master Lytle can rest assured, I dare not say too much. Within two days, the Prince Albert Army will storm the mountain road"
"Are you so sure that this Hokuriku remnant army will not leave the mountain road?"
A flash of light flashed in Lighter's eyes, an empire will decide the armor to ride on the black majestic horse, the big red cloak behind him is trembling slightly in the blew wind, on his side, the emperor ** The team is constantly gathering at the entrance of this northern land. This is already the edge of the northern land. The climate has changed from the heat of the Fazer capital area to a lot cooler, and the geographical environment has also changed from a plain to an uplift. Even the scene of the mountain range has changed. Hokuriku’s unique hero flower, large tracts of purple that looks unusually beautiful and strange, the number of these wild flowers is almost the mountain road that stretches forward. It's like a long purple carpet
Originally, the imperial cavalry had already bitten the remnants of the Northland nobles who fled to the north in the Fezer capital area. According to the combat power of the imperial army, they could easily annihilate the northern remnants in the capital area, but After learning that the Prince Albert Army had also entered the Northland, Estante suggested that the remnants of the Northland nobles should be sent into the Northland as a decoy to attract the Albert forces that had entered the Northland.
Leiter was taken aback by Estante’s words. Allowing the remnants of the Northland Army to flee back would definitely have an impact on the empire’s entry into the Northland, and the time given by the emperor was so tight, just on the road. It took four or five days. The time left to conquer Hokuriku is probably less than ten days. With such a short period of time and adopting tactics full of changes, is this too risky
Estante took a deep breath, looked at the direction of Hokuriku ahead, and said in a deep voice, "This Hokuriku army has forcibly broken through the mountain road. I believe that the Albert Army must have been aware of it at this moment. This is definitely a good opportunity for the Albert Army, which is fighting hard in the Northland. This Northland Remnant Army has been hit hard, but it is the last hope of every family. Once the Northland Remnant Army is in Hokuriku has been refurbished and supplemented and supported by all the Hokuriku families. The Albert Army still wants to conquer the entire Hokuriku in the shortest time. It can only be a dream. Therefore, the Albert Army will inevitably kill it with all its strength. Annihilate the last hope of the Hokuriku families in the shortest time, and then, with the prestige of this big victory, force the Hokuriku families to surrender"
"This Northland Remnant Army has only three to four thousand troops. It is impossible to avoid the blockade of the Albert Army. The only way is to stay on the mountain road and use the mountain road defense to delay the Albert Army. , As long as it takes a few days, the various families in the Northland will be able to counterattack the Alberts after a brief respite. The other side is deliberately creating an illusion for the Alberts and treats this battle as an offensive. The war, it is clear that either the Albert Army will eat the Northland Remnant Army and force the big families to surrender, or the Albert Army will be dragged to death by the Northland Remnant Army on the mountain road. I believe this, Albert Army. Very clear"
" And what the other party is really covering up is actually the empire army following him." Estante's voice was uttered, and his tone became more murderous. A hundred thousand army is not a hundred thousand mice, so vast. He drove to the Northland with great vigor. Unless the opponent is blind, it is absolutely impossible to be invisible, but the remnants of the Northland Army stopped in the direction of the mountain road,
"Have you heard of the term "causing tigers to drive wolves"?" Estante's eyes were unusually bright, his tongue licked his dry lips, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly.
"Take a tiger and drive a wolf?"
Letter murmured twice, shook his head slightly embarrassed, and asked in a condensed voice, "Although the literal meaning is roughly understandable, what does this have to do with our Hokuriku War? If we were tigers and wolves were Albert’s army, you wouldn’t want to tell me that this remnant of the Northland Army was actually introducing us into the Northland on purpose? How could this be possible!" The dumbfounded look on the face that can be believed is quite ridiculous. The Emperor's army wiped out the Hokuriku noble army in one battle. With only bare heads, they cut off as many as 40,000, and almost wiped out the essence of the entire Hokuch nobility. Hokuriku How could the aristocratic remnants deliberately lead themselves to the north?
But the situation in front of us is so weird. It's just that the remnants of the Northland Army with three or four thousand people are like the imperial army behind them, and they stop on the mountain road less than a dozen miles ahead as if they have a tacit understanding.
The only explanation is what Estante said, the other party deliberately, but such a conclusion is really too horrible, and it is completely incomprehensible. We killed so many northerners in the Roston area. Noble Lu, would they really choose to surrender to the empire? ’Leiter is also at a loss.
"The situation is already like this, do they still have a choice?"
Estante looked confident, stretched out his hand and patted the sluggish Leiter on the shoulder, and said slowly, "Your Excellency is also a nobleman. You should know that a family can be passed on for a hundred years, and some have even gone through several dynasties. The best thing is to judge the situation, be able to bend and stretch. As long as the family is not destroyed, there is hope of a comeback. The big deal is to change to a monarch. Although it seems so faceless to surrender to the empire at this moment, think about being killed by the empire in one breath. Three hundred thousand elite Fei Shan, who would be difficult to surrender, what a grievance in front of me! After all, we still haven’t killed him in the Fei Ze King’s area after all, since we want to grab me on the west coast. The wealth of people should have the consciousness of being hit hard by our army"
"But in case this guess is wrong, once the other party blocks the mountain road, our army will pay a lot of money." Lytle is still a little hesitant. The battle outside Roston, he admires Estante's talents. At the most critical moment of the entire layout, this person will be transferred back to sit on the west coast. This is definitely a stroke of magic.
I miraculously pulled out a hundred thousand empire army, and took advantage of the gap in the information interruption of the Northland aristocratic army. The First World War destroyed the wild and domineering Northland aristocratic coalition forces since the south, and played a jaw-dropping miracle. , But the next lore against the Hokuriku Noble Army was Estante in front of him. He Lighter was once known as the "No. 1 General of Karisu". Although it was just a small place's narcissism, he was pushed somehow. Among the famous generals who have entered, but after seeing Estante's ability, Lytel also sighed to himself that if he played against Estante, he would die without a place to bury him! So virtually, Wright has consciously placed himself in the position of Estante’s deputy
Now the news has not spread out, otherwise the name of Estante will be famous for the entire Obaro in the Battle of Roston.
"Wait and see, there is no loss for us anyway"
Estante raised his hand to Lighter who was still hesitating, raised his head and glanced again at the black smoke in the distance of the mountain road. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and all the main forces of the Northland Noble Army had been killed in battle. Hokuriku no longer has the power of the empire to resist. It is inevitable for the empire to take control of Hokuriku. The only difference is whether the Hokuriku aristocratic group surrenders to the empire, preserves the family blood, or surrenders to the Albert army, and then is As the cannon fodder to resist the empire’s northward advancement, the Burt Army should also make the decisions that should be made if he is a Hokuriku noble group, or he should push the other side again! "
Into the remnant fort on the mountain road north, the soldiers of the Geng Di Army above looked at the dark imperial army camp under the mountain road, and they also looked anxious. The emperor army team entered yesterday, and the eagle flag of the empire is here. The air was tumbling and fluttering, and underneath was a murderous team entering the sky. The densely packed towering spears soon covered all the large empty spaces under the mountain road, continuously driving out of the piedmont forest. The rumble of hooves and footsteps resounded across the foothills, soldiers and horses raised a yellow dusty fog, black fronts and flying flags were looming in the dusty fog of the sky, the number of people was close to the size of a hundred thousand troops,
Looking at the continuous entry of the imperial regiments in the far distance of the mountain road, the Geng Di Army soldiers on the wrecked fort have pale faces, and their hearts are even colder. The last trace of luck is also shattered. Geng standing at the fortress of the castle. Duke Di Da’s face is unusually calm, only in a position where others can’t see, his fingers are tightly clasped together
Hokuriku, is there really no choice?
The empire has such a large amount of military power on the west coast, and it has followed itself all the way from the Fazer capital area. It is only now that it is swaggered to reveal it, which shows that the main force of the Northland noble army in Roston City is afraid It’s already too bad, and the opposing commander has seen through his intention to attract the emperor to fight the Albert’s army
The strength in front of us, even if we count our own guards, is more than 3,000 people, and everyone is wounded, running desperately all the way, it is a miracle to be able to reach here alive, what else can we expect?
Hokuriku is right in front of me, but I can’t get in. Even if I can get through the road to the north, what can I do? Prince Albert wouldn’t let himself enter the Hokuriku area alive. Therefore, Grand Duke Gengdi has long been determined to die, and deliberately introduced the emperor to the road to the north, and at the same time used himself as a bait to lure the main force of Prince Albert
The remnant fort I was in was the exit of the northward road. Although it was broken, it was the result of countless manpower and material resources spent at the beginning. After more than two hundred years of wind and rain, it is still extremely strong, just The high wall built by this fortress is more than 30 meters long, and it is completely constructed of large solid rocks. Under normal circumstances, the last fortress on the road to the north can house 5,000 soldiers, and such a high wall. , But also because of the terrain angle, if you don’t climb the high wall of this fortress, you can’t see the inside and outside of the wall
This is the opportunity, the pit I dug for the Prince Albert army
The moment Prince Albert's army broke through the fortress was the moment when the Imperial Army attacked
At that time, the Imperial Army and the Prince Albert’s army will meet together. If the Imperial Army team wins, the Hokuriku families will naturally choose to surrender if they know that the main force of the Hokuriku noble army has been defeated. The special forces won and fought against the 100,000 Emperor Army. How much of the Albert's 20,000 troops would be left, and would they still want to conquer the Northland? I am afraid that the revenge from the empire is enough to make him never peaceful! As long as the attention of Prince Albert’s army can be drawn from the various families in Hokuriku, and Hokuriku can survive this unending disaster, it is worthwhile for all four thousand people to die here. The decision to go south was my own. The army of sixty thousand came back with only such a small number of people. What kind of face does he have to set foot on the land of Beilu, nothing more, he was born as Beilu, and died as Beilu!
The arrival of Prince Albert’s army was earlier than the Grand Duke Gundy expected.
In the early morning of the third day of occupying the fortress, white mist was winding on the mountain road, like a white water flowing in the mountains and forests. The mist at night moistened the ground as if it was being pushed by it. Rough lines are drawn on the top. The sun just reveals the horizon in the distance, and the blood-red morning glow hides the looming dawn of the east. These brilliant colors change in the distance.
Most of the sky doesn't seem to be awake from last night's night, and the ocean shows a vast floating dark blue.
"Wow" in the morning mist in the distance, there was suddenly a vibrating sound like the wind blowing through the dense woods~IndoMTL.com~ The large swaths of birds seemed to be frightened. Flying out in the direction of the woods
"Attention, there are circumstances"
The soldiers on duty issued a warning sound, and the Geng Di Jun holding weapons against the fortress wall was awakened, and stood up in a panic. Grand Duke Geng Di was helped by two attendants to the battlement, with bloodshot eyes. Staring at the two-headed eagle flag of the Fazer royal family with silver edges and blue background, bathed in the golden sun, the corners of the old mouth are slightly upturned, this **** is finally here, if it weren't for Prince Albert, how could the Hokuriku nobles go south? If it were not for Prince Albert’s bewilderment, the Hokuriku noble army would not attack the west coast of the empire. If it were not for Prince Albert’s treachery, he would not bring the Hokuriku noble army into force in the fierce battle of the day. The most elite troops are transferred away,
At the pass in front of the fortress, a knight wearing bright silver armor came slowly, wearing a double eagle helmet on his head, and a large pure white cloak hanging from the horse to the ground. The knight was as cold as a knife. His eyes fell on a **** human head hanging in front of the mountain road fortress. His pupils could not help but shrank. Behind him, the morning breeze blew across the large purple hero flowers on the flat front of both sides, countless pairs of heavy ones. The footsteps were lifted, and when they fell, the ground was shaking slightly, and the dense infantry formation continued to emerge in the morning mist. From a distance, it looked like a silver wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area. The huge momentum seemed to be the one in front of you. The fortress is crushed!
