Power and Empire Chapter 822: The Nord’s counterattack (5)
822
Nord’s counterattack
February 12th
ì, a border town in Tyre County in the south of Vikia, the clouded sky is flying with cold rain. Tyre, who has experienced famine and **** wars, has been in a series of economic and demographic policies. Stimulated, there is still a considerable gap between the population of the region and the 270,000 people before the famine broke out.
The streets of were sluggish, and the roads were covered with weeds. The dark town was empty. The raindrops hit the wooden boards and made a ticking sound. The two doors of the ruined tavern were blown by the wind. Rustling. (DUKAN

Desolate, lonely, if it weren’t for the lighted lanterns swaying in the wind and rain at the entrance of the tavern in the town, people would think they had entered a dead town. A clear sound of horses hooves came from the night of "Treading". In this dark night, a team of horses on the road came to the small town from the dark night.
The riders led the horses under the eaves and pushed open the door of the roadside tavern. A burst of warmth rushed toward them, which formed a sharp contrast with the desolation outside, but they sat hazily in a small tavern. Many people, there is a burning fireplace against the wall, the fire is jumping, illuminating the warmth in the lobby, the smell of inferior wine, tobacco, the smell of fried meat, the smell of sweat, and the breath of crowds. Everyone on the road in the wind and rain suddenly felt warm. These are all shrouded in the buzzing voice of conversation like a cloud,
When a dozen strangers in felt woolen waterproof capes pushed in, like a knife suddenly cut off, the conversation suddenly disappeared, and the people on each table looked at the newcomers warily people.
The leader of is a young man who is not tall, but has a strong sense of oppression. He glanced over the people in the tavern, his eyes piercingly bright. When they came into contact with his aggressive eyes, most people avoided it unconsciously, and the voice rang again, but the voice was already much lower.
The thin tavern waiter hurriedly stepped forward and greeted "Everyone! Come on, please, our malt beer here is the best nearby
"Sixteen cups!" The young man sat at a table in the lobby and rested by the fireplace. He drank two sips of wine and suddenly felt warm all over. Although he was holding the cup, his sharp eyes kept looking around, carefully looking at the people in the tavern.
Like most small town taverns, this tavern also doubles as lodging. Most of the people sitting are local villagers. There is a table that has been drunk and fell asleep on the table. Young people just watched Looking away at a glance, they couldn't reach the threat. There are also two skinny little businessmen, um, the size is wrong!
What caught his attention was that on the two merged tables near the door, a group of rough mercenaries gathered around for a drink. The volume of conversation was very loud, and the sound of punching and guessing made the roof buzzing and shaking,
Among them, a fat young man is drinking alone,
The mercenaries around seemed to drink without scruples. If you take a closer look, you will feel that beside this young man, two mercenaries with the same serious faces seem to have never said anything, but Look at anyone who is within three meters of the wine table with jǐng vigilant eyes
The mercenaries have a bulging shirt, probably hiding weapons, combined with their rude behavior, the young people can’t help but secretly guess their identities
Seeing the fat young man, the young man’s face was a little excited and a little nervous. He just wanted to walk over. At this time, the conversation at the table next to him attracted the attention of the young man.
Of course, a villager asked a small businessman next to him, "Brother, what news did you bring from Ruode this time? I heard that the Nords have been active on the border recently. Is it true? Huh? Will they call me?"
Suddenly, the voices all around fell down. People listened with their ears sideways. Concerned gazes were cast from all directions. News of the Rhode army gathering on the border has already spread in nearby towns.
Seeing such importance, the thin businessman suddenly held himself back. He stroked his short beard, dragged his voice and said, "Brother, I know this news. But you also know that the dynasty opened its borders in the north. It is said that even the Dongting grassland has been conquered. These promises The Germans are also scared. If the Vicky Falcon's army goes south, it will not crush them like an ant, so it is even more necessary to pretend to be aggressive. In fact, it is simply a display."
"Oh! That said, it is impossible for the Nord army to fight against the dynasty army"
The surrounding voices are full of triumphant emotions. No matter what your living standards are, it is always a pleasure to hear the Falcon dynasty, which is dominated by the Vikya people, and now be able to overpower the mainland power Nordisk. It’s a matter of fact, since the rise of the Vekia military, which is dominated by the Samor military forces in the south, it has become a habit for most Vekias to listen to the glory of the kingdom every day
can’t even sit still at the tavern at the counter. He brought a bottle of wine to the table. "This is a little bit of our store’s heart to moisturize your throat. You said your Majesty Falcon has conquered even the Dongting Grassland, this Isn’t it true? It’s said that the King of the East Court is also a generational hero. Some time ago, I heard about the 100,000 cavalry troops going south in the East Court. How could His Majesty Falcon take over even his nest in a blink of an eye?"
There was a clamor from the tables on all sides, "Yes, right! The boss is right, this boss, you give it to everyone!"
a rugged man also stood up. "We live in the poor country here. The news we get is always delayed for a few months before we know it. Please tell us all!
You have a lot of knowledge and traveled to many places. We are all stuffed buns who have never been in town. Now all kinds of sayings are flying all over the sky. Some say that your Majesty Falcon has taken down more than half of the mainland, even bullying. Our Swadians are all gone, and some say that His Majesty Falcon suffered a big loss in the Paravin Plain and is still training in the three northern counties. We don’t even know which one is right."
The businessman was still holding his beard with a reserved smile, listening to everyone, but after listening, the smile disappeared from his face, he looked solemnly, and put the cup on the table. "Everyone, I am Anke though It’s just a merchant who walks through the villages and alleys to sell groceries. I don’t understand military affairs, but I have seen one thing with my own eyes! In the Stalos area that broke out some time ago, His Majesty Falcon defeated with 100,000 warriors. The 200,000 army of Swadians, now on the head of Swadian Kyoto, is planted with the battle flag of our dynasty"
"Oh! It's true!" This time the sigh was full of excitement and joy, and the people on the various tables suddenly gathered around. People who are immersed in the pride of the country don’t care about it, the simple villagers, they only need to know that the kingdom’s army is victorious, it’s enough,
The tavern owner personally pours wine for the businessman who calls himself Anke. "You said that the battle flag of our dynasty is planted in Paravin, the center of the continent. I don't know if it is true?"
Merchant Anke took a sip of wine, and said with a sigh of rosy face, "I have seen it with my own eyes, and there will be no mistake! What I saw with my own eyes, Paravin City floats above our war eagle Flag! Now, we are the masters of most of the continent"
There are more and more people asking questions, and the questions are getting faster and faster. This grocer named Anke answered one by one. In the eyes of the villagers, this knowledgeable trader knows everything. , As authoritative as Wang*'s spokesperson.
In the adoring eyes of everyone, Anke also floated up with two sips of wine, and became more and more eloquent: "...Speaking of the battle between His Majesty Falcon and King Dongting Khan, then I saw it with my own eyes! , That battle was really shocking,
ìWithout the moon, the mountains and rivers change! The two fought for three days and three nights, the East Court Khan King was arrogant, but our Falcon was also a strong player and a strong midfielder, and used his majesty's secret skill to bring down the two peaks! With one move, King Dongting Khan was beaten to vomit blood and died. . . . . . . "
Everyone was happy to hear, naturally no one noticed. The young fat man drinking wine in the mercenary cluster heard the word "Shuangfeng pushed down and almost squirted the wine out of his mouth,
"Shuangfeng is overthrown... What do these guys in charge of propaganda think, they can even think of such awkward moves! "The fat man curled his lips in a bit of anguish,
For this groceries businessman who was talking among the many villagers, the fat man also knows another identity. There is a special department under the Ministry of Supervision, which is responsible for training such propaganda merchants who are walking in the countryside. These people It is not only an intelligence collector, but also a public opinion controller. In this era of underdeveloped information, the spread of news is entirely from population to population. Whoever controls these people will undoubtedly control the local public opinion.
The young man who walked into the tavern just now, when everyone was not paying attention, leaned in quietly. Two guards dressed as noisy box-guessing mercenaries stood side by side quickly and blocked the young man. The fat man nodded slightly. The two guards cautiously stepped away
Dylansky sat down opposite the fat man, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be in Tyre so soon. Your subordinates welcome your late arrival, please forgive me!"
"Have you heard about the Nordic invasion?" The fat man raised his glass casually and took a sip
"Nord?" Dylanskiser was taken aback. Because of the outstanding performance of the Battle of Kyoto, coupled with his own background of the Dylans family, he was also a fat man's cheap brother-in-law, so he was promoted very quickly. He is the chief of defense in Tyre, and he belongs to the Southern Army of Statunko.
"The Nord army did have some unusual mobilizations on the border." Dyrenski said for a while, and said with shame." Since our dynasty navy won the Ferran Island chain victory last month, the Nord army has continued Increased the force in the south, but overall the number is only 50,000. Therefore, the subordinates believe that this is a normal and loving strengthening of the Nord army in response to our naval landing operations, so they did not notice anything. ..."
"Really? If you think so even when you came from the South, it seems that the Southern Army has been peaceful for too long, which has consumed the spirit of the soldiers! It's no wonder that the Nords put the breakthrough on you! "The fat man snorted and told a fact that made Dylanski's face hot,
The Southern Army is in the Falcon Dynasty, except for the zhōng directly under Fatty
The second largest military group outside the yāng army, it has 50,000 soldiers from the south. During the Battle of Salander, it expanded to 70,000. The total force is a quarter of the Falcon Dynasty army and is stationed in Falcon From the economic lifeline of the dynasty, it can be seen that the fat man attaches importance to and trusts this army
"Your Majesty said that the Nords will aggressively attack the southern line?" Dylanskisai changed his face and stood up nervously.
"If there is no accident, within half a month, 150,000 German troops will use Tyre as a breakthrough point to attack!" The fat man dipped a glass of beer with his right **** and drew an arc on the table. I tapped two points and said in a condensed voice, "As the defense officer of Tyre, can you tell me, how long can you resist?"
"The 150,000 Nords attack Tyre!" Dyrenschise took a deep breath. Although he is the chief of Tyre, he has only one flag regiment under his command, even if he has a strong and dangerous force. In Mecca, there is no chance of winning for the 150,000 German army.
"I will choose to abandon the first line of defense and retreat to Tilburg to organize the second line of defense!" Dyrenskisser hesitated for a while, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, there is no other way. There are only 5,000 troops in Canada. Facing the superior strength of 150,000 Nords, as long as the opposing commander is not a fool, he only needs to divide the troops into 150,000 troops and continue to attack the city. In less than a day, my subordinates will be exhausted. And collapse. Even if I fill in all the troops, it will not be enough to resist the enemy's attack! "Withdrawal from Tilburg, at least I can get back to the main force for a few days! "
"What if there is no main support?" The fat face said unchanged, "To be honest, I won't increase my troops. This is the key breakthrough point for the Nords. The Nords will definitely concentrate all their troops. At an assault point, if we assemble enough troops, once the attack is frustrated, the 150,000 rude people will be withdrawn immediately. Therefore, only by making the illusion of a hasty challenge and putting these 150,000 people in can we have it. Chance to wipe it out completely,
The fat man’s voice paused and continued, "I came to see you specially, not only because you are the commander of Tyre, but also because you are a member of the Dylans family and are in the duty of an ally. I must The combat strategy tells you "
"Your Majesty means that this has something to do with the family?" The face of Dylan Siqisai changed and suddenly realized that, yeah, Tyrling and Dylans territory are connected, if the Nords’ The first point of attack is Tyrrell, and the second point of attack must be Dylans. If Dylans’s port falls, there will be more than one supply line for the Nords, but the land and sea will advance together, and 150,000 are like wolves and tigers. The Nord’s army, think about this number, Dylanskie’s feathers stand up
"If Tyre is attacked, you stick to it for a day, and then withdraw to the Dylans collar!" The fat **** sè nodded solemnly, and exhorted, "I will order the nearby Southern Army to move closer to Dylans and hunt The Eagles and Navy will also assemble at Dylans. The key to this battle is whether you Dylans can withstand the landing of the Nord Navy! I believe that the Nords will find that I have assembled a heavy force in Dyllens, and this will definitely change. Attack direction, attack the hinterland Djerber, so that they can open the way
ìThe way of the Wading Plain, when that time comes, I will lead zhōng
The yāng army is there waiting for them! "
"That...Natir..." Dyrenskisay looked at the fat man with a pale face. Although the fat man said easily and clearly, Dyrenskisey had already heard from it. For many special things, Tyre will surely suffer another catastrophe. The influx of 150,000 Nords will inevitably set off a **** storm.
"That's why I came to Tyre in person, and I will always keep the current Tyre in my heart!" The fat man picked up the wine glass a little helplessly, looked at the surrounding villages with better names, and finally fiercely. After taking a sip, the wine glass was heavily placed on the table. "To win, you must sacrifice,
This is the sorrow of a king. The necessary abandonment is not in line with personal emotions, but it is the best choice for the kingdom, unless we are willing to pay more to turn this place into a scorched earth under the tug of war. Now We can only hope that in order to advance quickly, the Nords will destroy this place to the minimum! "
"So that's it, I understand!" Dylan Schisai took a deep breath. This is indeed a very helpless choice. No matter whether the kingdom will block Nord's army in Tyre or not, it will inevitably become a piece of scorched earth.
At this time, the businessman happened to be talking about the jīngcai place. There was a shout of applause in the tavern, and Dyrensky was in a trance. These people are cheering for the kingdom’s record. Do you know that this place will become the next? A **** battlefield
At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a figure appeared at the door of the tavern surrounded by a few young people in gorgeous clothes. Walking in front was a woman with short hair and beautiful eyebrows. In the painting, the outline of the face is as delicate as a knife, and the expression faintly reveals the fortitude, between Gu and Pan, awe-inspiring.
The air in the tavern is the only one. In this rural town, when have you seen such a heroic beauty? The villagers and the people in the tavern were stunned and could hear the sound of someone swallowing saliva~IndoMTL.com~A little maid with a certain posture, the ghost turned strangely from behind this woman Coming out, I went straight to the bar in front of the bar, covered my nose with a handkerchief, and said with a bit of displeasure, "The boss is here, we have wrapped up here, please everyone leave immediately, we have distinguished guests, if there is something wrong Locally, my host is willing to compensate for the loss at double the price!"
In order to show her style, this ghostly little maid took out a lot of silver coins from her arms and spread them out on the wine cabinet. There was a crisp jingle of silver coins on the table, which attracted many villagers to stretch their necks to watch. Gold coins belong to high-end goods, and silver coins are the most circulating currency in the lower level.
"Do you know them?" The fat man raised his head a little displeased. He had a somewhat drunken eye. He paused slightly when he saw the girl at the door, but only for a moment. Tiantian and Mao Monaqing are such a beauties who are allure. After a long time, the immunity to beautiful women has also risen,
"It seems to be from the Silans family nearby!" Dyrenskiss glanced at the carriage parked at the door with a weird look, and whispered, "The Silans family is a big family in Mecca. In the era of the Tyre family, it was once a vassal of the Tyre family. Later, after the Tyre family abolished the rule, this family named Thrance quickly emerged in Mecca as Tyre’s leading arms and weapons merchants!"
"Miss of the Enrons family, what are you doing in this place?"
At this time, the sharp-eyed fat man heard a drunk alcoholic a few meters away from him raise his head, and a glimmer of jīng light flashed in his drunk eyes
