Power and Empire Chapter 3708: Strong wind in early summer (9)
The cold rain covered the ground, the blood color spread, and the bright red rain water flowed down like a creek along the cracks in the rocks, completely ignoring the screams coming from the wind and rain getting weaker and weaker, until the world fell into a piece of rain again In a rushing world, Bion’s famous general Isha Kernan finally retracted his gaze from the depths of the rain curtain. The fingers holding the horse whip were already swollen and cold. Sure enough, the Sun Fortress was located twenty miles around, which is not a good one. According to the environment judged by common sense, the towering mountains block the warm wind from the south coastline, and the airflow from the north is blocked back, and there is a land of three rivers like a plain of weeds.
Intuition tells him that the Rila people will definitely not just ambush him here, but what exactly do the Rila people do? For the entire Bion military, it’s like a layer of veil, from At the moment when King Owit of Rila hit the Fortress of the Sun, all the predictions of the Bion military were overturned
"Are the Rilla people crazy, they actually went to attack the Sun Fortress!"
"Maybe King Rila was really irritated, and became angry from embarrassment. It's hard to say that he is crazy."
"A dozen years ago, what we did by all means was to bring the main force of the Rila army to the Sun Fortress. Now the Rila people have hit the Sun. You are still suspicious here, don't you feel ashamed! "The people of Bion are not fools. On the contrary, because of the defeat in the battle for the Three Rivers more than ten years ago, the arrogant Bion military began to introspect the problem. After two years of determination, dozens of small-scale border confrontations have data. In contrast, the Bion military has recognized the fact that it is not as good as the Rilla in the field. The so-called nail plan is also proposed. Since the field cannot be won, it will be a stronghold.
Bion has the huge Sun Fortress as its support. Even if it occasionally fails in the advancement, it will not shake the kingdom’s foundation. It took more than ten years to gradually build eleven stronghold-like residential cities outside the Sun Fortress. The tentacles are constantly being penetrated into the land of the Three Rivers, and the propulsion line formed by the sentry towers, cities, and settlements allows the Rila people to occupy the strategic dominance of the land of the Three Rivers, but they cannot really use the land of the Three Rivers. With the support of various strongholds, the tentacles of the Biang Frontier Army finally infiltrated the Land of Three Rivers, and finally in the Land of Three Rivers, at the gate of the Kingdom of Rila, ambush the 20,000 Rila Youth Army in one fell swoop and destroy them all!
Although this task was requested by the Empire, the Bion military team did not use this battle to review more than ten years of hard work. As a result, it was a big success. At the door, the 20,000 Ruila Youth Army was killed and then evacuated calmly. The nearest Ruila Frontier Army camp was only fifteen miles away from the incident.
"Rila people must retaliate!"
"Don’t worry so much. The current Rila is not the former Rila Kingdom. Since the vitality of the Hungarian Rebellion, the Rila Kingdom’s domestic standing army has been reduced from 350,000 at its peak to two. One hundred thousand, and fifty thousand of them were recruits recruited within one year. The Bion military originally agreed to the Empire’s request to ambush the Rila Youth Army in the Land of Three Rivers and predicted the scale of the Rila’s possible revenge.
Fifty thousand people, no more! An army of 50,000 people fights, and the logistics materials that need to be involved in the future are definitely a heavy burden for the current Ruila Kingdom. The Ruila Kingdom’s losses in the Hungarian Rebellion have not yet recovered, even In the previous battle of Sulaf Terrace, which competed for the supremacy of Central Europe, the Kingdom of Rila could only barely support the 30,000 youth army to enter Sulaf. In other words, even if it was related to the face of the always proud Rila people, Rila’s side Only 30,000 people can be dispatched, and you can guess how difficult the current financial resources of the Kingdom of Rila are, and the Rock Fort scandal that broke out some time ago has exposed all the foundations of the kingdom of Rila’s extreme poverty.
If it weren't for lack of money and madness, how could the Rilla people launch a coup d'etat against the Medici of Rockberg! It is nothing more than the urgent need for financial resources in the country. Ishaklnan took a deep breath. Since the Three Rivers ambush, Bion has begun to move the resources and population outside the Sun Fortress inward, and even the troops have been transferred back to two points. First, there were 80,000 Bion troops on the border. When the Rilla Army broke through the border, the number of Bion’s border troops was less than 40,000. The 40,000 troops were originally expected to be in one month. All the inside retreat to the Sun Fortress, if it weren’t for the Rila people to come too fast, and after they breached Kesu, they would immediately split into three groups to start a raid, leaving Rila’s side with empty ruins
Strong walls and clear fields, so that the Rila people can't even get a piece of hair
But the Rila people were dispatched too suddenly. The Rila King Owitt arrived at the border the day before, and the Rila army crossed the border the next day, and the dispatched troops far exceeded the Bion military’s expectations. , Not fifty thousand, but one hundred thousand. In addition to the fifty thousand rila frontier army, Ovette, King of Rila, also brought fifty thousand elites of the king's army. These fifty thousand elites of the king's army have really experienced the Hungarian Rebellion The veteran, once faced with the Hungarian cavalry and never retreated. After the destruction of the youth army, the entire Kingdom of Rila has dropped from 200,000 to about 170,000. This time, it was overwhelmed. One hundred thousand troops, more than half of the country’s troops, seemingly imposing and invincible, almost made the whole of Oubaro think that the kingdom of Rila in its heyday is back
But in fact, the Rila people are playing with fire every day in the kingdom of Bion. If they are not careful, they may fall into the quagmire of national destruction and annihilation. Therefore, the Rila army is advancing more quickly. Very quickly, he captured the important town of Kesu on the same day and forcibly knocked on the border of the kingdom of Bion. In the following three days, he broke through 11 cities in succession, and successively defeated more than 30,000 soldiers of Bion’s border defense
If the Kingdom of Rila begins to withdraw at this moment, the Bian army who has been beaten up will only be stunned. The Bian army has suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops have withdrawn into the Sun Fortress. Now the forces in the Sun Fortress It reached 40,000, plus Ishakornan evacuated all the surrounding troops, and only got 40,000 troops, which is 80,000. What else can we do in the face of the imposing 100,000 Swiss army?
The problem is that the Reilas did not evacuate. In all the previous assumptions of the Bian military, there is no possibility that the Reilas will attack the Sun Fortress. The Sun Fortress is more than just a fortress for the kingdom of Bion. It’s the kind of place that carries a country’s life and death barriers. Without more than five times the strength of troops, it is impossible to open it after a fierce attack for more than 20 days. This kind of common sense thing, a generation of heroes of Rila King Aowei It’s impossible not to know that, even if the Sun Fortress has only 40,000 defenders, it is enough to make the Rila Army more than 200,000 scorched, but the Rila people just smashed into it.
In a hurry, the Bjorn military temporarily thought of deploying reinforcements. Although the Bjorns had a mysterious confidence in the solar fortress, within three days, the entire border was completely destroyed, and they were completely panicked. Slapped up
Is the Sun Fortress of 40,000 people too thin? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Rila, and I heard that King Rila has brought more than 500 craftsmen this time, dedicated to building siege equipment day and night. Although the Sun Fortress is extremely stable, there is no guarantee that it will not. There will be a slight omission. Since the Rilla Army is fully assembled in the direction of the Sun Fortress, send a support army, even if it is only a check on the Rilla Army.
This is the background of Ishakornan’s order of rescue. Ishakornan was originally the general in charge of the border. He has a high reputation in the frontier army and is very familiar with the geographical environment outside the solar fortress. The second border was breached by the Rila people. Another reason for the heavy losses of the frontier army was that the kingdom suddenly dismissed Isakornan from his post, and the new person in charge had not yet arrived. The frontier defense forces of Bion can only fight separately. It is not said that the advance and retreat are unsuccessful. Even many troops hesitate between holding and retreating, so that they were washed down by the Rilla army, and the Bion civilians in the stronghold city were also destroyed. Countless,
The Biang military did not expect Ishakernan to turn the tide, but hope that Ishakernan can contain a part of the main force of the Rila Army and relieve the pressure on the Sun Fortress
"My lord, since the former army has been blocked by the Rilla army, it means that the main force of the Rilla army must be at a critical juncture in the storm of the Sun Fortress. Now our army should attack with all strength, even if it can’t break through the Rilla Army’s blockade. , At least it can force the main force of the Rila Army to pull a part of its strength over."
"My lord, the situation in the Sun Fortress is already very critical. Once it is really broken by the Rilla people, the hundreds of miles of plains in the kingdom of Bion will no longer have any barriers that can stop the enemy's invasion. At that time, we are more than Ang’s Sinner "Isakornan was crowded with more than a dozen young officers. These young and excited faces were at the most energetic time. They wore more exquisite chain armor, with their swords and shields interlaced on their chests. The logo indicates that they are the regional garrison. The symbol of the interlaced guns and swords is the border guard, and the emblem of the royal family and the two interlaced swords are the emblems of the Royal Biang army.
"Since we have encountered it, it means that the other party has guessed that our army will come back to rescue, and will definitely disperse a part of the troops from the main force to deal with us. We stay here to support the Sun Fortress." Ishaker Nan's eyes flashed with a gleam, staring at these garrison officers and said, "I know that you are all the proudest soldiers in Bion, but if we all die here, then the Sun Fortress will really be over."
Hearing what Ishakornan said, the young officers were silent. Ishakornan was right. The other side had already found reinforcements. For example, they would draw troops from the main force, but instead they would take the initiative to attack. The news that 40,000 reinforcements have been strangled halfway if they are accidentally surrounded, will definitely have a devastating impact on the Sun Fortress. Moreover, the support army is equipped with a regional garrison that is less powerful than the general army. It accounts for more than half. Although the defensive forces in these areas have more experience in fighting than the Ruiras, it is difficult to say how much combat power can be exerted in the case of such tens of thousands of large-scale general battles
Under normal circumstances, King Bion’s army is stationed inside the Sun Fortress, the frontier army is stationed outside the Sun Fortress, and the garrison is regional in nature, both inside and outside
Because the frontier army suffered heavy losses, Ishakernan could only temporarily mobilize troops from the surrounding area, so together with those who were mobilized, not only the part of the frontier army that was ripped back, but also the local garrison. These youths were on guard. Most of the officers came from aristocratic families and came outside of the Sun Fortress to serve as garrison officers. In the Kingdom of Bion, not everyone can do it. Because of the special location of the Sun Fortress, the regional garrison officers are in charge of the Sun Fortress. Mainly for security tasks, occasionally able to fight a dozen robbers, wanting military service can only be a dream, can only be promoted according to normal procedures and qualifications
It is conservatively estimated that it takes at least fifteen years for a regional garrison officer to reach the position of an ordinary general, and there must also be three years of rotation outside the fortress of the sun, but if it is stationed in the sun The garrison officers outside the fortress are automatically upgraded to the ranks of the combat corps in terms of status. Not only are they extremely powerful on weekdays, they have the right to interfere in the affairs of the region, and they are combat officers in wartime. If they are reaped, they will be paid. And promotion are also calculated according to military merit. The fastest regional garrison’s experience to become a general takes three years, and the general time is about eight years. This is mainly because the Kingdom of Bion is in ten years. A few years ago, he lost in the battle for the Three Rivers, but he still maintained an offensive and pressure on the land of the Three Rivers. There were no large-scale wars, but the small-scale conflicts surrounding the battle for sentry towers with more than one hundred people were daily. Both,
And the regional garrison is undoubtedly the best match to support small-scale operations nearby at any time. Many of these young officers have been on the battlefield. These young regional garrison officers dare to go directly to Yisha In front of Kernan, it was also because of this. At the beginning, the relationship between Ishakernan’s border guards and the regional garrison was very good, and for the removal of Ishaker’s north-south military, the regional garrison officers were not only for Ishakernan. Feeling unfair, and during the dismissal of Isakornan, the garrison officers in these areas still often ran to visit him and wrote letters to their families. The Bjorn military was unable to arrange a new head of the border guard, that is Because the resistance from the families behind these young officers was too great, and even the youngest son of the former Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom was also inside. Because of the dismissal of Isakornan, it also caused an outbreak in the Biang Military Ministry. Not a small earthquake
Ishakornan ambushed the Rilla army. It was originally a condition for the empire to agree to accept the secret surrender of the Bjorns. It was the King Bjorn who made the plan and the Ministry of Military Affairs, who knew the truth, waited for a few people. The order to ambush the Rilla army was personally signed by the Minister of Military Affairs. Not only did it contain the Minister of Military Affairs, but also the seal of King Bion. Otherwise, even if Ishakernan was the head of the frontier army, he would not be able to mobilize a full 80,000 frontier army. Drive into the land of the Three Rivers and set up an ambush, because it was like declaring war on the Ruiras. Ishakernan successfully set ambush and killed 20,000 soldiers in the First World War. After the War of the Three Rivers, the King of Bion did not dare to bear it. Responsibility, but to characterize this battle as a personal act of Isakornan and order the dismissal of Isakornan. The turmoil caused by this resulted in the dismissal of 17 people in the military department, almost all of which involved At that ambush, the personnel of the Logistics Department, the Intelligence Department, and the Minister of Military Affairs, who knew what was going on, immediately asked to see the King. As a result, the Minister of Military Affairs, because of his old age, and arbitrarily mobilized the army to Ishakorn. The matter was oversight, and I asked His Majesty to resign from the post of Minister of Military Affairs, and King Biang gave permission!
It was the royal family that raised the flag of rebellion against the empire. Now it is necessary for the royal family to admit that everything is its own fault. How can it be?
The royal family of Biang has never had a record of admitting mistakes, and the arrogance of the people of Biang is even more vivid in the royal family. Even if more than 200,000 people died of starvation last winter, turmoil occurred in 14 places. The royal family, which is known for its arrogance, also declared to the public that “Bion’s domestic supplies are well prepared, the people live and work in peace, the nobles are toasting to oppose the courage of the empire, and the soldiers are ready to attack the hinterland of the empire. As for the dozens of turmoil, they were all done by the despicable Imperial Intelligence Department. In front of the shining light of the justice of the royal family of Bion, they were nothing but clowns!"
Isakornan, who knows the nature of the royal family well, had to keep an eye on the rescue of the Sun Fortress this time. Although the order to mobilize the army was sent to him, he was accompanied by a full squadron of royal troops. , The leader of the team was the former army commander Su Ted, who spent three years in the frontier army seven years ago, and was later transferred back to the royal army because he has a three-year resume in the frontier army. As a middle-ranking officer, Su Ted was promoted step by step in the next three years, and finally became the commander of the Fifth Army of the Royal Army. Others may not know the reason, but Isha Kernan, the main general of the border army However, it is clear that Su Ted's resume before he was transferred to the border army was a royal attendant. In other words, Su Ted was a member of the royal family, and he was transferred to the border army. He should have come to mix his resume. I just don’t know. Who is the confidant of the royal family? Judging from Su Ted’s grade, Yisha Kernan feels like being close to the crown prince’
The current king of Bion is not too old, but he is only fifty-three years old and has three sons and four daughters. The eldest son, the crown prince, is thirty-two years old and older than the second son. A full eleven years old, and seven years ago, the crown prince should be 25 years old, similar to Su Ted’s grade. He sent himself a confidant attendant to the frontier army to resume, and then he was transferred back to an important position in the army. This is in full compliance with the prince’s practice of rejoicing. It was the prince who proposed to fish in the troubled waters of the empire during the Southern War. As a result, the empire had a great victory in the south, and the royal family of Bion had to bow their heads. It's not easy
Isakornan is 100% sure that this time the Ministry of Military Affairs asked him to rescue the Sun Fortress, 100% was the prince’s intention.
At the expense of yourself and the 40,000 unimportant garrison~IndoMTL.com~ It is a cost-effective thing to divert the main force of the Rila Army away from the Sun Fortress! The royal family is not easy to kill themselves, so they kill themselves with the sword of the Rilla! So I can’t blame myself for having no guilt for the destruction of the previous army. Who told Su Ted to hold the elite who can really fight in his own hands, fearing that he would not die, and directly order the soldiers to go to the top under their own banner. Open ahead
The one who killed the 20,000 Riela Youth Army in the Land of Three Rivers is myself. Rila can’t wait to skin and cramp to comfort the 20,000 Rielas who died in the battle. The name Ishakernan is for the present For the Red-Eyed Rila people, it is a bone in front of the mad dog’s mouth. Once they know that they are ambushed in the Sun Fortress, the 100,000 Rila troops will inevitably abandon the Sun Fortress and kill themselves directly, but the royal family will The task of rescuing the Sun Fortress is entrusted to myself. The surrounding forces are only 40,000, and the regional garrison accounted for half. This shows that I will throw my own meat bun out and divert the hungry wolf from Rila away from the Sun Fortress. Strategy
I’m still alive. It’s not that the royal family is softened, but because the former Secretary of Military Affairs worked desperately to save it. The other dozen or so military officers are not as lucky as they are. They have been secretly executed. The royal family On the one hand, it is determined to cover this matter. This involves the face of the great Bion royal family. The Bion people have never bowed their heads. How can they succumb to the imperial power? The Bion kingdom can secretly surrender to the empire. But the royal family of Bion will never admit it
