Power and Empire Chapter 3631: The Battle of Getayam (8)
On the border of Harvey Plateau, thick smoke billowed, thick smoke coming from thatched huts, red flames licked the felt tops of thatched huts like greedy cats, and the burning thatch crackled in the flames. The cold wind made a stern sound in the flames, and the red stars were blown by the wind and dragged out long tails. The village was burning with flames, and the red human blood solidified in the cold into strips of blood. In the sheep pen, there is still the scream of sheep
Lu Yasu stopped the horse in front of the village with an iron face, and under the horse’s hoof was the red solidified with the ground. The whole village was invisible, but it didn’t mean there was no one. The smell of blood and the smell of barbecue follow the wind. Then, Lu Yasu’s face changed, and the others vomited directly. Everyone didn’t speak. It’s hard to see the extreme with infarction. This was already the third village they had seen. Without exception, the Ikars were all I did not hesitate to choose the whole village to slaughter. The intention of the Ikals to attack has been fully revealed. Their small team, carefully along the road, was afraid of encountering the Ikals of the brigade. Behind the Carl Army is a strange emptiness, and there is no shadow of the Icar at all.
Sneak attack has never been as romantic as imagined. The so-called smashing a hundred miles often represents the places passed along the way. No matter the old or weak, women and children, they will not leave a living, otherwise even if only a little wind is leaked, the whole sneak attack They will face failure, and may even be completely annihilated by the other party. When decades of peace are broken at once, when the trumpets of cruel wars are opened, border people such as Lu Yasu are obviously unable to adapt, as between the two countries. It’s hard for them to imagine that when they passed by the village in front of them half a day ago, they were still bragging with the villagers, saying that they knew the frontier army commander opposite Ikar. From the bloodline, the other party would also call themselves a big expression. Brother, who knows turning around and coming back, that's what it looks like!
"Will Ikar go to our village? If that's the case, it will be a problem"
Lu Yasu heard one of his subordinates say, his heart is also tight, their village is seven or eight miles away from here, but it is unlikely that Ikar will attack Lu Yasu’s location, because it is It’s a village, but it’s actually a camp for the local frontier army. It was built in a relatively dangerous location with a two-meter-high earth wall
But Luyasu believes that what really terrorizes the Ikars is the wood and other burning materials accumulated throughout the year at the broken outpost in the highest position of the camp. These burning materials were only put in in the last month. Once they are attacked It will light up, even if it is visible from 20 miles away, this outpost was long gone. It was used as a sheep pen by the locals, but I don’t know why. It was about a month ago. The military suddenly renovated it again, and then demanded that the burning wood inside be replaced every three days. Of course, Lu Yasu and other border residents would not take this request seriously. The people above were all fussed and surprised. Yes, I don’t know if it was broken by the Martin Liya people, just find something to fool around, until two locals who were also commanders of the frontier army were ordered to be executed because they were reported. All the camps along the way, although Swearing, but I don’t dare to neglect anymore
Lu Yasu couldn’t think of it, how did the war really start at once, and almost hurried back to the camp in a violent storm, then immediately gathered everyone in the camp, evacuated to a higher place, and finally left. Lu Yasu took a deep breath and threw the torch in his hand on the burning material accumulated on the top of the tower. Thick black smoke billowed. After ten minutes, the second black smoke rose ten miles away. , The news spread to the Harvey camp in the fastest way. At this moment, the war between the Ikar and the Harve broke out!
"My lord, what shall we do now?"
An Ikal officer withdrew his gaze from the black smoke and turned to his back. The Ikal army general who crossed the border from the direction of the stone rampart was riding on horseback like an iron tower, and his gaze fell to the sky. In the black smoke, the hand holding the gem sword hilt couldn't help tightening. Even if they found it, what would happen? Harvey's attention is now on Martin Liya under the plateau, and the silver fox has already begun to mobilize. Even if they knew that we had raided the border, the Harvey couldn't mobilize troops to rescue them for a while. He grunted coldly. "Since I found out, I don't need to hide it. He ordered the whole army to accelerate and try to take down the Guka Pass in one breath. Clear this barrier for the follow-up army to advance"
"It's really uncomfortable!" Standing on the flat platform of the huge pass fortress, King Harvey's Fourth Army Commander Kasitina frowned and looked at the black smoke in the distance beside him. A young man in the uniform of King Harvey smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The color doesn't seem to be very unlucky!"
"Not only the color, but the direction Ikal chose, it seems that the goal of the breakthrough is ours. Does the other party really think that our army will have no defense at all? We were just severely stabbed by Martin Liya. Yes, so-called allies or something, will you believe it again?"
"Maybe the Ikars don’t think so"
's heavy nasal voice indignant at Casey Tina, the young officer next to him had only a wry smile. The Kingdom of Harvey was hit by Martin Liya’s back and lost half of the mountain. The Kingdom of Harvey was unforgettable and began to review all the previous defense loopholes. Just a month ago, on the west coast, the special envoy of Harvey Kingdom looked like Returning palely, it was an urgent meeting with the king. At that time, everyone was invited out, only the king and the envoy. No one knew what had been said. Then several high-level military officers were transferred to serve as the special envoy of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The one who came to the border was the young officer in front of him, Casey Kolo, the eldest son of Casey Tina
" Are you crazy, or the **** of the military department have lost their ability to think? How could the Ikars attack the Kingdom of Harvey by believing the emperor’s words! "When the youth took the news and stood in the Fourth Legion In front of the long Kasitina, Kasitina almost jumped up in despair
" The kingdom has just been hit hard, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is actually not willing that this news is true, but...Compared with the fluke in our hearts, I think what the emperor said makes more sense "
Casey Kolo is already in the third year of the Ministry of Royal Affairs, and now I am temporarily intern in the Ministry of Royal Affairs. In fact, for this speculation, Casey Kolo is absolutely incredible. From childhood to big, the education they received was Harvey and Icar. The masters of the people, the Ikars are the trusted subordinates of the Harvey. In every war, the most tragic battle is given to the Ikars. The Ikars who sacrificed the most are also the Ikars. This idea has been going on for decades. , But now it is the worst enemy of the Harvey who said that the Ikal will attack the Harvey Kingdom, and the previous servants will overthrow the master. Who can believe such a thing!
" Since it was an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, my father would better implement it. Anyway, it’s just preparation, not necessarily useful, and if the Ikars really want to attack the Harvey Kingdom, I don’t think the other side will choose to go this sheep. Intestinal Road" Casey Kolo took a deep breath. This is the first time he has come to assign a task as an independent officer. In fact, he also knows that the Ministry of Military Affairs does not think that the Ikar will be the most convenient. Instead of walking on the front of the march, I chose to walk on the mountainous area where the Fourth Army was stationed. This is the side of the Black Mountains. The terrain is rugged. In winter, it is hundreds of miles of ice. If it encounters cold rain, people will freeze to death overnight. Not a rare thing
" The method of "fire at outposts along the way" is also the meaning of the military department? "Kasitina's eyes flashed, angrily." The military department's gang only knows the **** who point to the map every day. It’s just one out. Don’t you know that a so-called fluttering plan is enough to let the people below run off their legs, extend the range of the patrol sentry forward for twenty miles, and add burning warnings to the outposts along the way, just these two , I am afraid that the people from the frontiers below are going to scold their mothers. Those guys from the Ministry of Military Affairs, if they can come to the border to have a look! Maybe they can understand a little bit how hard the people below are!"
In the following month, everything went as usual, except that the Martin Liya people frequently mobilized at the entrance of the plateau, which caused the Harvey Ministry to be extremely nervous. The Harvey, who had been hit hard, now only has less than 150,000 troops left. , And 50,000 of them were recruited after retreating to the plateau. Now they are all transferred to the front of the plateau. In the area on the west side of the plateau with the Ikar, there are only about 50,000 troops. Among them, the Fourth Army has one force. Thousands of people are responsible for the Black Mountain Pass. "Unexpectedly, this is really useful!" Kasitina sighed. He didn't sigh for the Ikal attacking from the mountains, he sighed for the peace between the two countries on the plateau. Getting along was broken. Once upon a time, he believed that the Harvey and the Ikar would be able to live in peace for a long time.
"If nothing happens, the Ikals will arrive before the evening"
Kasitina turned and walked towards the city road. It is indeed a general who has been stationed here for more than ten years. He is quite familiar with the terrain of the entire pass, and is quite accurate in judging the time. In the evening, the sun began to skew on the stone wall of the pass. As they went up, the flag of the Ikar began to appear in the eyes of the youth. Under the golden sunset, the formation of the Ikar army slowly appeared on the horizon from a distance.
"appears, the Ikars are here"
"Come on the wall and get ready for battle!"
"clang clang" means that the emergency bell of early warning broke the tranquility of the evening. Even with preparations, the fourth legion commander Cassinaty's face was still gloomy and ugly, and his hands were heavy on the cold stone wall. The heavy pressure on the face, even made all Harvey people feel a little difficult to breathe,
"My God, how come there are so many!"
"Is this putting Ikar's entire border guard here?"
The forest-like spear gleamed in the sun, advancing with a tight battle lineup. Walking in the front is the heavy-armored infantry, which is the essence of the Ikal army. Most of them are composed of the strongest and most experienced veterans of the Ikal. The light infantry squadron is surging in a dense queue at the back. There are so many black shadows covering the wide flat in front of the pass. The black infantry formation is like a forest and the end can not be seen at a glance, and the rear team is still pouring out continuously. In the front of each queue, wearing gorgeous armor and holding a flag in front of the team’s guide, the Ikar army officers, their faces are serious and cold, they are like benchmarks, cautiously more than 100 meters away in front of the city wall. The thin ice of the alpine tidal flat stopped in a short place, and there was a whirring sound in the air. All the Ikal’s eyes looked at one place, the pass of the Black Mountains
Although this pass was built for decades, it is still unbreakable. The tall pass wall is six meters long and has a length of more than 400 meters. It is like a huge knife that cuts the inside and outside of the pass in two. Before the construction of this pass fortress, this is the corridor from the hinterland of the Harvey Kingdom to the Black Mountains. In the war between the Harve and the Ikal, Ikal killed many corpses at this pass. , Even a crown prince of Ikars died here. Legend has it that the big dark red rock face to the left of the pass was dyed red by the blood of Ikars. In fact, it was only part of the exposed part of the copper ore. There are many copper ore magazines here, which are completely useless, so no one mines them even if they are exposed all year round.
Of course, this is what the Harvey people say, and the Ikar people don’t think so. Many decades can be forgotten, but the Harvey’s oppression of Ikar has become more and more unscrupulous. The tragic place must be the battlefield of the Ikal army. The Ikal must be the most deadly and injured, and the Harvey must be the representative of the two countries. The greatest interests are often divided by the Harvey, and the rest is nothing but the Ikal. Some incompleteness ~IndoMTL.com~ Take the Holy Capital War as an example. In order to prevent the Ikals from gaining an advantage in the religious regiment, the Harvey did not hesitate to launch attacks on the Ikals’ transport team, and then the shameless duty was for Iraq. The Harvey Army, which the Carls first attacked, eventually led to the loss of more than 100,000 Ikar troops due to logistics. In the case of tens of thousands of casualties, they had to spit out all the occupied areas.
What the Silver Fox said is correct. The era of Harvey dominating the plateau should be over. Harvey have never regarded Ikal as their partner, and Ikal need not always be Harvey. Servants of people, the plateau should belong to the Ikars,
The general of the Ikar army showed murderous intent and slowly raised his hand. The Ikar and the Harvey have been together on the border for so long. The intelligence side has long understood the Harvey army, and now the entire border The total number of the Harvey Army is less than 50,000, and the fourth frontier defense army guarding the Black Mountain Corridor has less than 13,000 people, and the area that is deployed is 60 miles long, which is In the current pass, the strength of the Harvey Army should be between 6,000 and 7,000. If the 30,000 army wants to take this pass, is it really difficult? Opening this pass is equivalent to other A gap was torn in the back of the Harvey Border Guard. As long as the follow-up forces continue to press in, the defensive line that the Harvey Army has painstakingly worked out for decades is something that can be broken in a blink of an eye.
"Woo" an agitated trombone sounded, and dozens of small, slightly spaced Ikal infantry phalanxes began to advance towards the city wall. This time, the number of Ikal troops who raided the pass was as many as 30,000. , Is three times that of the Fourth Army of the Harvey Kingdom on the opposite side. Their queues are very close together. From a distance, it looks like a dark cloud covering the earth. At a hundred meters, they start to accelerate and go straight to the pass.
