Bao Zi sincere thanks: Shadow of the Earth voted for a monthly pass; voted for a monthly pass; Polar Bear B voted for an evaluation;
In the early morning, the sun has not yet come out, and the ground is filled with white mist. Under the blowing of the mountain breeze, like a flowing white band around this long narrow highland, a black goshawk flies across the blue sky. Under the unfolded wings are the dusky mountains. The cold wind blows over the hills in front. A faint rumbling sound is heard from the other end of the hills. The heavy hoofs of the warhorses hit the hard snow-capped frozen soil, white. A black line appears on the edge of the top of the hill,
The towering snow-capped mountains on both sides cut off the direction of the northern Swadian Plain. This deep and solemn color contrasts sharply with the cyan needle forest in the city, forming a wonderful picture.
The biting wind blew across the spreading mountains, rolling up a cold and cruel breath, "slap" heavy horseshoes lifted up the dirt on the ground, a team of heavily armored Vicky Cavalry climbed over the top of the mountain, The cold sword in his hand is shining with snow-like ferocious light,
The fat man stood on the hills and looked at the vast land under his feet with complicated eyes. The cold mountainous land spreading hundreds of miles under his feet was like a winding dragon,
In the center of the dragon's entrenchment, is this intoxicating green and secluded basin. The vast white snow covers both sides of the basin. The Swadian people call this beautiful basin area "Amy Pull"
In Swadian language, it means beautiful girl, which shows Swadian’s love for this land. This is the only alpine mountain in the north of Swadian, and it is the barrier of Swadian’s Kyoto Palasi’s face. ,
"Treading" Hu Keqili brought a roaring mountain breeze, and galloped up from the side of the marching dragon in front. Two cavalry guards followed closely, and their horses hoofed up on the ground. The soil crosses the mountains like an arrow
"Your Majesty..." Hu Keqili stopped the horse in front of the fat man, a beautiful one turned over and got down from the horse, took out an intelligence message from his arms, held one knee high, and said respectfully.
"This is the latest report from Swadian. The 100,000 forwards of the East Court have already breached the Laki Fortress with 15,000 defenders, and are rushing towards the portal of Palavin, Yeruige.
The Swadians asked your Majesty to rush to Amela to the west of Ye Ruige to establish a defensive line. At most three days, the forward of Dongting will approach Ye Ruige. If Ye Ruige of Dongting is unable to attack, it is very likely that he will change direction. Amyra enters the Paravin Plain"
"Oh, the 15,000 defenders of the Raki Fortress that the Dongting people advanced so fast, they only persisted for 3 days." The fat man took the information, his eyes were swept, his face changed,
I didn’t think it before. I thought that the 300,000 Swadian army had a good time with the 60,000 Dongting cavalry, and finally had to adopt a step-by-step strategy to gain some advantage. It also felt that it might be because of the army. Too many soldiers recruited temporarily, resulting in low combat power, but now, this notion of underestimating the enemy has long been thrown out of the sky by the fat man
"The sharpened steppe cavalry is indeed the top combat power of this continent"
In Ribogan, the fat man thoroughly learned the combat power of the Eastern Cavalry. The two armies attacked and countered the sneak attack. Although the Falcon Dynasty had superior forces and the bonus of surprise attacks, the battle of Ribogan was fierce and chaotic. , Still far beyond the fat man’s expectations,
4 thousand excellent Falcon cavalry remained on the land of Ribogan forever, more than 5,000 Falcon cavalry had to be temporarily detained in Ribogen due to various injuries, Vasilyen’s 12,000 Thousands of Falcon Cavalry lost three-fifths of the battle. Although some of the seeds were saved and the final victory was achieved, they can basically be declared maimed and missed the East Court battle in a short period of time.
9 thousand for 14,000. This is still in the case of the temporary withdrawal of the most elite black armor archers in the East Court. Although they have achieved a brilliant record of beheading the East Court general Bogor Zamu, the entire continent It made a sensation again,
The inside of the Falcon Dynasty was not happy about it. It was taken advantage of and had to show an excited smile, which is really not a very pleasant thing.
In the Battle of Borrigan, although the main force of the Eastern Cavalry chose to give up, they actually left unscathed. There was almost no loss in combat power. It seemed that the Falcon Dynasty had won.
In fact, both sides are very clear that this is just a warm-up match before the war. As long as the 12,000 black armor archers are not lost, the victory of this battle is irrelevant to the main force of the East Court. As for There are too many reasons for the death of Bogoerzhamu. As long as you are not blind, you can see that it is a bit strange.
"Hehe, these Swadian people are about to be beaten home, and they still have to play this kind of cleverness"
The fat man handed the information to the adjutant next to him, and he sneered a few times, "They thought I didn’t. They gathered 200,000 troops in Ye Ruige, but only told us that they had 100,000 troops, which was obviously hiding their strength and so on. To pick up the bargain"
"Pick up the bargain? What does your majesty mean?" Hu Keqili was taken aback for a moment, and curiously asked, "The Emila area is a mountainous area, surrounded by towering mountains. If the Dongting people put the plains Ye Ruige in the area did not attack, and came to attack the mountains that were not conducive to the cavalry. I really can’t say it
"Mountain area? It depends on the people in Dongting." Fatty smiled disdainfully. Although Ye Ruige was flat, it had been reinforced and repaired many times by the Swadians, except for the original strong main fort. In addition, a series of large and small defensive sub-forts have been built on the two wings of the main fort. Even if the East Court cavalry is excellent in combat power, it is impossible to use the cavalry to hit the strong wall."
The fat man paused in his voice, raised his whip, pointed at the undulating mountains in the distance, and said, "Dongting people are not blind, they choose the 200,000 Swadian army behind the strong wall, or only 60,000 army. , We are advancing all the way lightly, and we are unsupported"
"But our mountain area should be enough for the East Court Cavalry to have a headache," Hu Keqili said unwillingly. "What's more, although these broken long walls on the top of the mountain are old, they can be very old as long as they are strengthened and repaired. It works well. At that time, even if the East Court Cavalry is more powerful, I am afraid I can only look at the wall and sigh."
"Really? You think so too"
Fatty's face is slightly cold, his sharp eyes are like two sharp blades that make Hu Keqili feel a little bit frustrated, Hu Keqili, who has been following the fat for a long time, has a pale face, this is a sign of your majesty's anger
"Your Majesty, your subordinates just made a mistake..." Hu Keqili knelt down quickly, he must have neglected the most important thing, so scared that he didn't dare to lift his head,
"Can you tell me how long these broken mountaintop long walls are? One hundred miles? Two hundred miles? It will never extend forever." The fat man looked dignified and silent for a while before he suddenly asked. Hu Keqili scared enough
"The subordinates sent scouts to check, except for some unimportant places, the length of the broken long wall on the top of the mountain is about 170 miles," Hu Keqi responded with wing.
"170 li" the fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "If I give you all the 60,000 troops, can you tell me that you defend such a long mountain?"
"I...I..." Hu Keqili rolled off his head with a cold sweat, his head lowered, his face was full of shame, yes, I can’t keep it, I didn’t think it just now, just think about it. It’s not right. It’s impossible to concentrate on the mountain area of 170 miles. If you divide the defense, once the East Court cavalry concentrates its troops to attack a little, it won’t be long after receiving a signal for help. Defensive is deployed on the mountain area that is hundreds of miles long. Forces, there are loopholes everywhere"
"The victory or defeat of the war depends on the preparations of the two sides before the war. Any negligence before the war will result in fatal failure."
The fat man walked dignifiedly, patted his love on the shoulder heavily, and said, "This vast hill seems to be the best line of defense. In fact, it is also our most deadly weakness. This is Rui A trap of the Erdian people, we only have 60,000 people, and it is impossible to completely block all the mountain roads.
Although it looks like a highland where you can rely on, the East Court cavalry can take advantage of the situation and sweep the entire Emila as long as they cross the long wall on the top of the mountain. By then, we will be trapped to kill two birds with one stone. It's quite unbelievable. 'S sale"
"Is the subordinate being too negligent or your majesty has a bright eye" Hearing the analysis of the fat man, Hu Keqili took a deep breath with an ugly face. The Swadian plan is too insidious, if Dongting The cavalry really changed the direction of attack. The Falcon King** who temporarily faced off was probably the end of the destruction of the entire army.
"Return this to the Swadianite"
The fat man found a pen from the civilian adjutant next to him, and hurriedly wrote a reply letter to Hu Keqili. "Tell the Swadians that our army has entered the Amyra area and is still afraid of the east. The court people are not coming. We are in charge of the Falcon dynasty. We will not retreat even if we fight with one soldier, but it is Ye Ruige who will fall. In order not to shake the entire line of defense, they can only ask for more blessings. Up
"Your Majesty, this..." Hu Keqili took the letter with a surprised expression. Since this is a conspiracy, it's not like your Majesty is determined not to go to the Swadian people's pockets since this is a conspiracy. Lost style
"Hehe, just do it, just like those Swadians who think they have succeeded in their conspiracy, let’s laugh secretly, we will take them all at once." The fat man waved to him,
"Your Majesty" Hu Keqili put his right hand on his chest respectfully, and after a salute, he turned on his horse and went away
"Order the whole army to speed up. The whole army must cross the Emilia Mountains within today." The fat man reined his horse and shouted, turning to the messenger behind him. Beside the fat man's horse, the Vickia phalanx in black armor was just there. It stretches into the distance like a giant dragon,
The thin sunlight in the sky shines on this huge army that stretches for more than ten miles. The thick armor and shields of infantry are bright and dark in the sunlight, like layers of fish scales that are constantly turning, and the long black lines that move slowly. With an unpredictable momentum, I crossed the white rolling hills on the top of the stretch of the Emila Mountains,
Under the mountain is the green land, dense green pine forests permeate this basin, and large green areas are like a huge flowerbed. When the trees and thorns in other parts of the kingdom wither in the autumn wind, this area The lush green needle forest is in full swing showing its vitality,
The brilliant wild flowers and red grass, like a piece of burning flame, dye the entire basin red,
Through the end of the forest in the distance, you can see a row of ancient tall city walls erected between the undulating mountains, full of vicissitudes of ancient castles and withered dilapidated towns, and at the same time printed and dyed in the sky and the earth like a dreamlike red Xiaguangzhong
Paravin, Prais Mansion
Plais sat alone in the inner hall of the mansion, with a gloomy look on his face.
Since his sensibility, he has rarely felt lonely, but at this moment he really feels extremely lonely. He was originally called the elite leader of the three carriages among the dark nobles, and is now a declining old man,
The recent events have shocked him even more. Some of his white hair had covered his forehead before, and his energetic gaze seemed very sluggish at the moment, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden.
The battle was unfavorable, and the entire army of the First Knights was annihilated. Such a record is definitely Prays’s failure in his life, but it is not enough to attack Prays’s nerves, who is as tough as a wire. He wrote to the fat man. The letter of request for political asylum is actually trying to test the attitude of the Wikiya side. If this restless neighbor joins in at this time, the severely damaged Swadian will be lost in despair
The reply from the Falcon Dynasty completely broke Prays’s hope to continue to preside over military affairs. Such a reply completely exceeded Prays’s expectations.
He didn't expect the Wikiah Falcon to see through the mind so easily, and show extraordinary, unusual thinking and fierce counterattack
Prays, who received the news of the Falcon Dynasty’s proposal, was stupid on the spot, "This trick is too poisonous" to propose the marriage. . . At this moment, is there a better way to kill with a soft knife and not bleed? However, the Viking Falcon still uses it very upright,
Prays burst into tears, he, this life completely missed the military affairs, regardless of whether the Swadian royal family thinks that Prays is wronged, or this is simply a conspiracy of the Vekias,
It is absolutely impossible for him to have a chance to re-emerge. The Swadian royal family is not a fool, and absolutely does not have the courage to bet and gamble. Otherwise, relying on his prestige and influence in the military, he will be secretly with the Falcon Dynasty. Collusion to overthrow the Swadian royal family is as simple as reaching out and flipping the palm,
Lost the trust of the royal family, Prais, who has always been a maverick, looked embarrassed. He was the proponent of the reform proposal. Although he was finally rejected by the court, he was enough to make him a majority. The enemy in the eyes of the Palavin nobles,
The civilians replaced the knights as the commanders of the army, and gained some rights that only the nobles could have. Such a rebellious idea is simply rebellious. If it weren’t for the support and trust of His Majesty the King of Prais, this former The noble leader has long been cast aside by the Palavin nobles,
Now Prais is completely like a tragic abandoned woman abandoned by the royal family, and some bad remarks have also appeared
"Prays is the sinner of Swadian"
The words "Plais should apologize for the failure of the Battle of Ribogan", appeared in the streets of Paravin with the encouragement and push of many nobles. The eyes of the people have always been blind. , Public opinion is always in the hands of the most powerful people. The Palavins, who previously praised the former military minister, quickly changed their attitudes.
"Prays is the greatest source of evil in the kingdom, and even the southward journey of the Dongting people was caused by Prays' resistance." Most people began to agree with this statement,
In the kingdom’s court meeting, some radical-minded young newcomers even suggested that the former military minister was too self-confident and self-reliant, which led to the brave and fearless knights of the First Knights who had to fight against evil in isolation and helplessness. The devil in the East Court fights to the last person,
The pouring rain in the previous paragraph is the sky crying for these outstanding young knights. A noble with an excited look said so, and in front of all the courtiers, he handed out a handprint with tens of thousands of blood. Ten thousand books,
"The kingdom should severely punish those ministers who are unfavorable in combat, otherwise the soldiers fighting on the front lines will also be unstable." This young nobleman with a look of grief and indignation, although in the end this proposal was rejected by His Majesty the King,
"The blood of the knights can't flow in vain, your majesty." With a cry of crying voice echoed in the hall of the court, these two young nobles who were unwilling to give up, knelt on the hard ground of the court. The point of view advocated since I was young has given way to the center of the vortex of the North Korean meeting. Prais, who is determined in his heart, also feels extremely depressed and unhappy
"The people and soldiers will support me"
With this belief, Prais, who would never admit defeat, got into the carriage returning to the mansion in a drowsy manner. There were a lot of people on the street. Seeing the carriage of Prais family, many Paravins People turned their heads disdainfully,
The hero of the past has become a cross-street mouse that everyone shouts and beats at this moment. Prais is silent, and he can feel a surging undercurrent drawing closer and closer
Despite the increased vigilance, unfortunate things have happened. Today, the Council of the People’s Republic of China is discussing the issue of Ye Ruige’s defense. The new Minister of Military Affairs proudly propagates that Ye Ruige is definitely an unbreakable fortress. The tomb of the Eastern Cavalry is only Pula. Ess doesn’t think so
"The left wing of Ye Ruige is a low-lying land, even if there is an arrow tower, it is difficult to hold." Prayis said as soon as he said, the new minister of military affairs who was transferred from the interior officer said with some discomfort, "This is In the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, some unpleasant idlers should not be conspicuous, otherwise people who do not think that the Minister of Military Affairs is still like your Excellency."
"You..." Prays was almost fainted by this inactive generation, and left the meeting in shame. From beginning to end, King Haraus didn't say a word to stay.
"It's a sad season." Prais put down the window of the carriage with some feelings~IndoMTL.com~The front is his mansion, and the simple door is engraved with the dim emblem of the Prais family , As the Minister of Military Affairs for half a year, Prais, who has handled tens of millions of resources, could not even get 1,000 gold coins for repairing the mansion
The noise outside "people" was like a dish that was disrupted. Just as his carriage was about to enter the gate of the mansion, a wounded Swadian soldier wrapped in gauze, staggering past the gate of the mansion, suddenly moved away. The footsteps rushed up, raised his head, and slammed into Prais’s carriage, spitting contemptuously,
The voice of the wounded soldier of "Sinner, Prais" spread loudly throughout the street. Although the brave soldier was quickly taken away by the guards, the saliva was already deeply spit in Prais. In the heart
"For this..." Prais sat quietly on the bench, the dark hall was not lit, and he did not eat dinner because he had no appetite. All he thinks about is drinking. It would be better to have the spirits drunk by the Kurgits, but he is restrained in his heart, knowing that he should never get drunk.
"My lord, someone asks to see you" The voice of the old housekeeper, Yiyi, was heard outside the door
