Power and Empire Chapter 407: Echemore (2)
Morhausk means "Autumn in Makino" in Vickia,
July is the most beautiful season of the year. The sky is wild and wild, the green grass covers the borders, and the towering Altai Snow Mountain meets the uplifting Kujit Plateau to the north, forming a natural upturned slope. ,
The snow-covered mountain tops are white all the year round, but under the mountain is a bright red crimson moon full of the mountainside,
The eye-catching layer of emerald grass covers the earth like an endless green carpet, extending to the end of the intersection of heaven and earth,
The circles of small lakes are shining silver in the sun, and from time to time, there are flying birds flying by the lake.
Among the dots of bushes, occasionally exposed the moist black cold soil below, bringing a refreshing breeze to make people feel comfortable.
The horseshoe awakens the sleeping mountain, a group of black cavalry marches on the mountain path, and two Samor guard scouts rushed ahead and opened the way,
"Grand Duke, after passing this ridge, the Altai Snow Mountain is in front of you!" Hu Keqili stopped his horse at the mountain pass in front, and turned his head back to report that there was a fat young man behind him. With a blooming white thorns badge engraved on her lightweight chain armor, she is looking after the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance with keen eyes
After Zhivadin received the emergency military report from Aichamore in the north, the fat man sent people to the Salon Army that was resting in the north and issued an emergency assembly order.
Order the Saron Army to move northward to Murhausk, creating the illusion of a double-sided attack on the Swadian Army, which is gathering on the grassland and preparing to counterattack.
On the other hand, they sent people to arrange boats to quickly send Kujit’s envoy, Scelis, back to Kujit grassland,
I hope that Ceres can bring the intelligence back to the Kujites who are in Echemore in time,
At the same time, in order to conceal people’s eyes and ears, the fat man who went with the ship only brought the Samor guard cavalry and disembarked in the southern Kudan and crossed the Kudan area.
Then follow the hidden mountain road into the northern border of Murhausk,
Along the way, the fat man received several reports from Saran that the Swadian army in the north has begun to gather in large quantities, in just ten days,
In addition to the several knights that were originally withdrawn from Aichamore, two main knights were transferred from the Palavin area, and the number has soared from 120,000 to 180,000 at the beginning.
The number of troops has already exceeded the 130,000 Kujit troops in the Aichamore area, and they may launch a counterattack against Aichamore at any time,
Now the fat guy can only hope that Ceres can bring the intelligence back to Coujit in time, otherwise, he will have to implement the second set of plans in advance,
In order to curb the surging momentum of the Kurgits, Wikiya will adopt a policy of uniting the Rhudders of the South.
But this is also tantamount to declaring war on the 6 strongest country,
Weija, who has just been calmed down, will definitely be involved in the conflict of war again. This is what the fat guy does not want to see.
In Fatty’s plan, even if Vicia wants to fight, it will have to wait until March next year.
The domestic army needs to rest and reorganize, the severely damaged economy in the north needs to recover, and the people need time to settle down from the continuous war.
The west needs time to open up and rectify, and the expansion of the southern trade roads has reached the most critical juncture.
With the unification of the kingdom, these issues that have not had time to consider in the past are also placed in front of the fat man’s eyes,
The fat man knew in his heart that the current Wichia is not suitable for war,
Like a patient who is recuperating, he really doesn’t have enough strength to fight a strong man
I need at least half a year of time and preparation to be able and qualified to truly compete with the big 6 overlord Swadian.
However, Swadian is aggressive towards the Kurgits on the northern grasslands. The form of warfare is very unfavorable for Vickia, and the fat man has to worry about how to buy time.
Once Kujit falls, the Swadian army will inevitably take the opportunity to march south,
Whether from the perspective of military strategy or political strategy, Vicia bears the brunt.
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Vicia and Kujit are a pair of difficult brothers,
No matter how dangerous it is, we must fight it now.
The act of sending troops directly is unrealistic,
According to the latest intelligence, the Swadian Army has carried out defense adjustments
It is not the Swadian Northern Army that has been shattered on the Vijay border now, but the tens of thousands of elite cavalry who have just been transferred from the Palavin area.
For the temporary changes in the Swadian army, the fat man is helpless for the time being
Even if the Samor army is brave and good at fighting, it is impossible to win the battle against the cavalry group on the vast prairie with the infantry formation alone.
Except for the charge of violating the contract, it has no effect.
If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't be a tiger!
The fat man decided to go to the northern grassland personally,
After entering the Murhausk area, the pine forest in front of you is lush and green, and the scenery is picturesque. Although it has been a little harder, it is also pleasing to the eye.
Especially the Altai Snow Mountain in the distance, like a towering giant encompassing the entire basin,
The white mountain top plunges into the sky, and only half of the exposed mountain range has made the fat man who has never seen a snow mountain secretly been speechless,
Such a huge mountain range, no wonder it can become the boundary between the two countries,
Thinking of the destination this time, Murhausk Castle is located on the snow-capped pass at the junction of the Altai Snow Mountain and the Kujit Plateau.
The severe cold climate makes this castle, which guards the top of the mountain, an alias of "Lonely White Fort",
The fat man couldn’t help kicking a bit in his heart,
The form of Vicia is like this lonely white castle, standing on the cusp of the snow-capped mountains and plateau,
A line of life, a line of death!
"The Grand Duke is here!" Saraon, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, saw the black scout cavalry turning out on the mountain road in the distance, and hurriedly brought a dozen guards behind him to greet him,
Saron’s Northland Legion was recorded as the headquarters of the Legion under the direct command of Fatty. The dozen guards behind him were all selected by Fatty himself.
Seeing the figure of the fat man, he hurriedly bent over to salute the fat man,
The fat man waved his hand to everyone, accompanied by Salon and others, followed the rugged snow-capped mountain road upwards,
There are clusters of flowers under the mountain, the breeze is blowing in the green mountains and forests, the birds are singing and the trees are singing, and the springs jingle out of the cracks in the rocks, happily racing in the valley with white waves
The fat guy who looked at for a moment forgot that he was climbing a snow mountain
Just after crossing the mountainside, the scenery changed, and the lush green woods were still replaced by gray birches
The white snow flakes began to appear in the sky,
The temperature drops rapidly, and the teeth of cold people tremble constantly,
Everyone lost some thought of admiring the scenery for a while, and quickly put on the cold-proof clothes that they had prepared for a while,
The sound of the wind expanded rapidly, and soon it whizzed, rolling up snowflakes to pour everyone’s necks,
The scenery in front of us has also turned from the ink on the mountainside into a world of silver and white.
Strips of crystal clear ice hung upside down on the cliff, and the running springs turned into icicles
The heavy snow made the front dim and difficult. Under the guidance of the guide, the fat man walked in the knee-length snow for about two hours, and suddenly saw the upward **** in front of the mountain begin to fall downward.
After traveling for a while, a huge pass appeared in front of my eyes,
In the hazy wind and snow, a gray wall was revealed not far away, and then, like magic, a section of Gross-style buildings with white walls and black roofs appeared at the end of the wall,
The round wall pillars with black bars are particularly eye-catching against the white background.
"Hurry up, it's your sir!" Several Samor soldiers waiting at the gate of the castle quickly put down the suspension bridge, "Grand Duke! This is Murhausk Castle! After this pass, it is within the scope of the Khergit Khanate. It’s up! "The entrance to the Salongzhi Castle leading the way
"I have ordered people to boil hot water in the castle, and prepare what the adults have ordered. Look, do you guys rest here for the whole night and go down the mountain tomorrow!"
The fat man looked up at the flying snow in the sky, then looked at the ugly faces of everyone, and felt that the Murhausk Castle in front of him was too alluring
Thinking of the hot water and delicious food, everyone looked at the fat man with a strange expression
"Well, that's okay!" The fat man nodded and walked for more than two hours. Most of the clothes on everyone's body showed signs of being wet by the snow.
Despite the tightness of the package, it is a cold snow mountain area after all,
Everyone’s nose was submerged in the freezing cold, red and cold, and each of them opened their mouths, panting out, wheezing, wheezing, and gasping.
Because of the higher terrain, the more difficult it is to breathe,
Every time I inhale, the throat seems to be clogged with something, which is extremely spicy and uncomfortable.
The fat man knew that this was a sign of altitude sickness. Obviously everyone's physical strength had reached the limit, and it was not suitable to continue walking in this harsh and cold environment.
Seeing the fat man nodding, everyone sighed in relief and happily entered the castle to rest
This time, in order not to violate the agreement signed with Swadian, Fatty prepares to sneak into Aichamore disguised as a businessman,
In this way, no matter how powerful the Swadian people are, they will never find themselves among the tens of thousands of Vekia smugglers.
After a night of rest in Murhausk Castle,
The fat man took the prepared caravan horses and went on the road under several guards dressed as mercenaries.
Hu Keqili took the other guards in the same way, dressed as caravans and mercenaries to the destination,
The horse-drawn carriage carried some fur and mountain products from the west. In order to clear his connection with Vigia, the fat man did not go to Aichamore not far away, but turned around at the foot of the mountain.
Holding the pass issued by the Western Union in your hand, walk along the western grassland to Turga, the seat of the court of Kujit,
There is no room for the situation in Aichamore to change. Even if Ceres tells the senior officials of Kujit that the Swadian army plans to burn Mount Rudator, it is at best to reduce a part of the loss.
The Swadian army has used this favorable period of retreat to form an absolute superior force locally,
Kugit’s improvised 100,000 tribal army in the Aichamore area cannot compete with the 180,000 Swadian regular army armed to the teeth.
The fat man knows this very clearly. The Kujites have no hope in Aichemore.
Turga in the rear is the focus of this battle.
Seeing the direction of things clearly from the complicated situation, this has become an instinct that the fat man has formed in recent years
The hinterland of the Kujit grassland
The "creak" wagon wheel axle rolls on the soft soil, pressing out deep brown ruts,
The fat man lay on the back of his freight wagon equipped with an arrow guard, with his legs cocked, chewing on a piece of grass in his mouth, and squinting his small eyes, with a naive look.
There is no cloud in the sky, it is pure like blue crystal without any impurities. The pale sky is full of glaze-like colors, extending to the end of the distant world, and finally turning into a dreamlike haze.
The earth is vast and picturesque, and the grass is like daisy,
The beauty in front of him made the fat man feel a little drunk, and suddenly thought that the world is like a chess, he is just that chess piece,
Compared with this everlasting world, decades of life can be described as short and terrifying,
War, glory, the hustle and bustle of thousands of troops! The overwhelming power of Qiguo seems like a farce under the gaze of heaven and earth,
The fat man raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes,
Who brought himself into this world from the 21st century, and what is the purpose of doing so?
These weird questions that I never thought about in the ordinary day suddenly popped up in my mind
"Fatty fool! You are being lazy again!" "A clear female voice interrupted Fatty's contemplation, and then the curtain on the back of the carriage was lifted, revealing a youthful and lively face,
"Who said that, I was thinking about something big!" There was a trace of embarrassment on the fat man's face, as if he was terrified of this girl,
"It’s a lazy person like you still thinking about big things." That silly and silly gesture made the girl in front of you laugh out loud, and the more presumptuous laughed, "Don’t think I don’t know, you are a legend Smugglers,
I saw weapons and armor in your cargo. Turga is fighting now. You must be selling weapons.
You know that my father is the most timid, and the family has strict orders not to get involved with these tricky things. If I tell him this, you will definitely be kicked out of the joint caravan!
If you don’t want me to tell you, when the bonfire is lighted in the evening, you will ask me to eat roast leg of lamb! I saw the mercenaries you hired to give you this last night! "
After speaking, this girl has a greedy face, stretched out half of her small rosy tongue, licked her lips, and ran away joyfully like a lark,
"This crazy girl! I dare to say anything, no one cares!" The fat man shook his head with a wry smile, seemingly helpless with the girl's teasing,
The fat man rolling in the machinations and blood,
Faced with an ordinary girl who has no intentions, she doesn’t know how to deal with it anymore,
This is a joint caravan that Fatty met in the western grasslands.
Since the annexation of the Western Conference, the Maomo family, with the strong support of the business alliance, began to form their own caravan. Fatty met a small caravan leader named Mao Mowenlis.
Seeing the pass signed by the Maomo family in Fatty’s hand, Mao Mowenlis naturally regarded the fatty as his own and invited the fatty to join his caravan.
Because the destination is Turga~IndoMTL.com~ The fat man happily agreed,
In the past two days, maybe the fat guy is always squatting on his carriage and moving lazily, like a miser who keeps his belongings in check,
Mao Mo Wen Lisi's 16-year-old second daughter, Mao Mo Allen, always likes to come and make fun of her,
Looking at Mao Mo Allen who is as happy as a bird, the fat man sometimes feels a little bit emotional.
My own age is only just one year old, if according to the formal nobles, it is just past the age of coming-of-age, why do I look so old-fashioned, not as lively and relaxed as a young man should have.
In the evening, the caravan came to camp by a small lake. The bright bonfire was lit, and the flame dispelled the fatigue of travelers with weary enthusiasm, and the tempting aroma of roast leg of lamb came out.
The cool wind blows on your face, bringing a hint of coolness in late autumn
Looking at the crowd laughing and laughing in front of the fireworks, the fat man suddenly felt a trace of enlightenment in his heart,
