1470 Collapse of the Sky (3)
The cold of winter continued, and the Slavs finally chose to go east, and the rest of the days seemed empty and boring, and the fat man drank the leaf water with the smell of Dorok brought by Duoxue, and sat at the window and watched the snowflakes falling outside, which tasted a little decadent and degenerate,
Outside the long wall, millions of Slavs began to pull out in waves, under the acquiescence of the long wall, the long dragon of the Slavs marched to the east in a grand manner, the 100,000 Falcon soldiers on the city wall, looking at the Slavs who were squirming forward like ants in the distance, with a silent face, the snow drifted in the northwest, the land was snow-white, the Slavic army was divided into four parts, front and back, left and right, and the army with weapons in hand escorted countless old and weak women and children, and the whole team dragged out a long line of more than 100 miles in the snow, moving forward with difficulty, moving towards an unknown fate。
In the midst of the snowfall, a rare group of Slavic cavalry appeared in the ranks, and in the middle of this group of cavalry, a somewhat old gaze fixed on the long wall in the distance
"What are you looking at, Lord Bass?" asked a leader who passed by
"It's nothing, I just feel that behind this long wall, there may be a terrible person!" Thinking of what he said during the negotiation, the corners of Bass's mouth smiled slightly, "Did Lord Bass mean that person?" The leader raised his head and looked into the distance, deeply agreeing
"Sort of!" Buzz took a deep breath, "there is only one empire in this land, and such a simple and ambitious word has made all of us who have different opinions put down the bond in our hearts and agree to go eastward, you can imagine what a hero the person who can say such words will be! I can feel that there will be an earthquake-like change in the northwest!" Buzz muttered to himself with a flickering eye, looked at the queue that had been dragged out for a hundred miles, suddenly raised the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted, "Sue the people in front." But no one dares to guarantee that the other party will not suddenly regret it!"
"Keep an eye on it!"
The fat man threw a sentence to Salon, the person in charge of the long wall, and left with a team of guards, the Slavs should not regret it for the time being, the eastward march of millions of people, even if it is continuous to the east day and night, it will take more than half a month to cross the barrier mountain range in the east, the fat man does not have so much time to watch the wonder of this great migration of millions of people, he needs to think about too many questions, "What." You want the Fifth Army to move south?"
When the fat man looked at Julilsforberg, who was recuperating from his illness, Julilsforberg was eating breakfast, and when he heard the fat man's words, the wine glass that the old fox had just brought to his lips stopped in mid-air, and said in disbelief, "Yes, it's better to go south quickly!" The fat man picked up a glass of wine on the table with a dry mouth, and poured a few sips before saying, "The Slavs have begun to advance eastward, and the wheels of the northwest have been pushed, and a new situation will soon be ushered in! The south is our soft underbelly." But the troops in my hands are limited, so I can only let your Fifth Army Corps move south!" "What do you mean by the new situation?" Julils Fort frowned slightly, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, "The Fifth Army Corps is my heart's meat, and it suddenly turned south. Of course I'm going to ask clearly."
"The reason for the southern transfer is very simple, I suspect that the southwest direction is about to move!" the fat man took a deep breath, his eyes were bloodshot and said, "I believe it won't be long before the Gallic Empire will find out soon." The soldiers of the Fifth Army, who had withdrawn from the Slavic regions, did not follow the orders to continue southward and did not fight to the death with the Slavs who went south, but just watched as millions of Slavs easily entered the heart of the empire.
For the naked treason of the Fifth Legion, the Gallic Empire will naturally not be without a reaction, otherwise, other regions will follow the same example, the external barrier of the Gallic Empire will be broken, this storm will inevitably come very fiercely, the Gallic Empire is unlikely to transfer troops from the country, and the influx of millions of Slavs will definitely make the empire chaotic, and it will not be able to mobilize troops to launch a crusade against the northwest,
"Then the only possibility is to directly order the southwest commander, who is closest to the northwest and has more than 100,000 heavy troops, to launch an all-out attack on the northwest region" The fat man's voice stopped, and he said with great certainty, "In fact, even if the Fifth Army forcibly stops the Slavs from moving south, the troops in the southwest will not hesitate to go north, attack us from the inside and outside, and then take advantage of the situation to drive out the exhausted Slavs in one fell swoop. Fort Julilsford touched his chin, his eyes lit up, although he was sick, he had secretly called the officers of the Fifth Army for several meetings, the Fifth Army was now stationed in Normandy, as the fat man said, the Slavs chose to move eastward, and there was no longer such a large number of troops on the Long Wall, instead of leaving the Fifth Army to have nothing to do on the northern border, it was better to transfer to the south, as a buffer zone for the northwest coast region, "Okay, I agree with the Fifth Army to move south!" After thinking about it for a while, Fort Julilsford weighed the pros and cons, picked up the cloth towel on the table, wiped his mouth, and nodded cautiously, "But I have one request, that is, your marriage to Strissa must be before the Fifth Legion goes south, so that I can rest assured that the Fifth Legion will go south! Otherwise, I will not agree to let the Fifth Legion go south."
......The fat man was speechless for a while, this old fox really doesn't want to suffer at any time! If you don't marry Strissa, you won't transfer troops! This logic is fierce!
"How about it? I need to give some guarantees! In this situation, I need more solid guarantees, anyway, you don't lose anything, how to calculate, my daughter is also a rare beauty, not to mention that you have already announced your marriage, and now you are just completing the last formalities." Julill Sford's eyes lit up, with a smile on his face, now the situation in the northwest has become so obvious, he believes that with the ability of the Vecchia falcon to turn his hands into clouds and rain his hands, the northwest will eventually fall into its control, even if it is the Gallic Empire, it is not without a fight! This is definitely the wisest bet in his life, this treasure can not be let go!
"Okay, count you ruthless!" the fat man looked sad and indignant, holding the look of who would go to hell if I didn't go to hell
The sea in the middle of the night seems unusually quiet, the sun has been setting for a long time, there is no wind on the sea, the sea water in early winter is cold and biting, and there are scattered ice floes floating on some offshore seas. was squeezed by the bow of the battleship and quickly shattered,
A falcon navy's dragon tooth battleship quietly appeared on the sea, as if it was a ghost that suddenly emerged from the deep sea,
To the west of the sea, there is a faint light, a lighthouse in the night, where the coastline is twisting and turning, and there are many reefs near the coast. Without the guidance of a lighthouse, it is easy to hit the reef headfirst,
Captain Mahilio of the Dragon's Tooth stood on the bridge behind the deck, holding a large magnification of the goggles, carefully observing the sea in front of him.
Although Atwood's navy has been hit hard and there is no way to have coastal activity for the time being, but, judging by recent intelligence. The Atwoods brought back a large number of merchant ships and fishing boats from outside, these civilian ships were small and fast sailing ships, which may not be able to cause much damage to the Falcon Navy, but they could quickly ventilate the news. Let the Atwood side prepare in advance.
The Falcon Navy called these small sailing ships "vultures", which means lingering, and these small sailing ships were very different from combat ships in that they had a triangular bow and were fast. The draft is shallow, but very sturdy, on these pesky bald sailboats. There is often a subway slab with a pile of wood and wax on top of the iron plate, once the traces of the Falcon Navy are found on the sea. They would light a fire and use the most primitive way to convey the message.
What made the Falcon Navy a little uncomfortable was that these small fleets of Atwood, which cruised the coastal waters, often did not fly the naval flag, or simply dressed up as fishing boats, and when attacked, they claimed that they were not troops. Asking for forgiveness from the Falcon Navy, at first, some of the Navy's Dragon's Tooth warships were really fooled and let them go, and then Dustrenkai ordered them down. The Falcon Navy was asked to treat these ships of the Atwood side, whether flagged or not, as hostile as enemies, and to sink them immediately.
What Mahilio is worried about now is the appearance of a bald sailing ship like the Atwoods, and if it is discovered in advance, the whole plan will be affected.
At Mahilio's side stood a quiet and sturdy naval officer. He wasn't as nervous as Mahilio, on the contrary, he was looking up at the stars in the sky, each of which fascinated him.
He is a Salander and has a deep understanding of the constellations, and when he is fine on the ship, he also instructs the naval sailors to know the sky and the earth, direction, hydrology, tides and guide stars, and says that these can be seen in advance in the stars in the sky, this officer is the Salander Bai Ou, the former southern duke of the Salander dynasty, in the Normandy Rebellion, Bai Ou was a member of the expeditionary force, defeated and captured in Normandy Kyoto,
Bai Ou's attainments in astronomy are quite profound, and the Imperial Admiralty is very interested in this, and Du Stronchai personally protects him, and Bai Ou becomes the first mate of this dragon tooth ship known as the "June Flower", "Captain Mahilio, the time is still an hour." Bai Ou withdrew his gaze from the sky and said cautiously.
"Is there only an hour?Is there a deviation between location and bearing?" Mahilio took out the compass in his arms, tilted his head and looked at it carefully, looking at the lighthouse in the distance, as if comparing something,
"It shouldn't be wrong, it's five hundred meters southeast of the lighthouse! If there is no sudden change in the direction of the wind and the flow of water, it should be able to flow into the harbor behind the lighthouse," Bai Ou said confidently beside him with his head held high, he was an absolute authority on identifying the direction and time at night,
Bai Ou smiled and said, "You said that the commander of the naval fleet that entered Atwood yesterday suddenly found that his battleship was inexplicably blown up in the middle of the night, I don't know what kind of expression it would be!"
"If it were me, I would vomit blood on the spot," Mahilio smiled with a relaxed expression, and he turned to the back deck, and said to the sailors who were already waiting for orders, "Everyone understands, and now throw all the crude oil barrels on the ship!"
"Understood!"
The sailors replied with a bang, and then neatly threw the piled up on the deck into the sea one by one, which were small wooden barrels, numbering more than a hundred, and the waves on the surface of the sea rolled up, swept the barrels away, and pushed them in the direction of the harbor, where a fleet of ships from the southwest was inside, and the warships were more than ten meters apart from each other, seven of which were standard imperial giant warships. The other twenty-one were Imperial warships, and the towering masts of the battleships carried the naval flag of the Southwest Commander-in-Chief,
At this moment, in the newly renovated hall of Atwood Sea City, the lights are bright, and the dignitaries and dignitaries who come and go are like the stars holding the moon around a few people wearing the uniform of the Imperial Navy, no one would have thought that danger is coming, the melodious sound of the piano and the beautiful noblewomen make these admirals happy, and the Atwood side also hopes to rely on these Southwest Commander-in-Chief naval fleets to fight the Falcon Navy that has caused them heavy losses. Therefore, the language did not shy away from compliments, and the admirals of the navy who said it were full of joy, and they promised again and again that they would definitely help Atwood Sea City regain the glory of the sea supremacy of that day
"Boom" a huge explosion, making the candlelight in the entire hall sway from side to side,
"Ahh It was at this sound that the city of Atwood collapsed in half
"It's the Falcon Navy!" I don't know who shouted in a panic, and the hall suddenly became a mess,
It's morning again. Sunlight shone in through the gaps in the thick curtains, and the Southwest Commander, Algernon Katya, slowly got up from the body of the girl beneath him, dressed and groomed with the help of the maid. He walked out of his bedroom slowly, and the adjutant was waiting in his small dining room for breakfast, and the five-meter-long dining table was already filled with sumptuous food. More than a dozen henchmen of the Southwest Consulate General have been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency the Consul!" saw Algernonkatya walk in, and the officers stood up neatly,
"Sit down!" Algernon Katya waved his hand, Rayles, the intelligence officer of the Southwest Consulate General, sat at the end of the dining table, his face was obviously not very good today, this is something that has not been done for a long time, only from Algernon Katya was born as the Southwest Commander-in-Chief, and these henchmen and officers below him have their tails raised to the sky, in the southwest, there is nothing that can make them look depressed,
"What's wrong?" Algernon Katya frowned slightly, Octavia sensed something, "Is there something wrong with Atwood?"
The blond-haired intelligence officer whispered, "Our fleet has been attacked at Atwood, and we have a bit of a loss. ”
"Who did that?" Algernonkatya put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked at his intelligence officer suspiciously, Atwood was not surprised, and sent the navy belonging to the Southwest Commander-in-Chief to the north, just to make a forward station for the army, and by the way, to deter the northwest and south, but he didn't expect that the other party's counterattack would come so quickly,
"It should be the Falcon Navy!" Reels nodded a little sourly, "Our fleet was completely defenseless, or rather careless, and without seeing anyone, our battleship suffered a violent explosion, losing three giant warships, and six Imperial warships received different impacts!"
"A bunch of rice buckets!" Hearing that the loss was so great, Algernonka scolded with an indignant expression, "Sue me, what the hell is going on!"
Intelligence Officer Reels described that the night before yesterday, the fleet docked at the port of Atwood was suddenly attacked, and according to the report from the watchtower, only a few fires broke out on the sea, and then the port exploded as if it had been ignited! Algernonkatya put down his knife and fork, picked up the report in the intelligence officer's hand and looked at it, his expression suddenly became angry, his face turned red, and he snorted heavily in his nose, this report turned out to be based on the description of the Atwood side, he felt that he was stimulated by Yan zhòng, and he had a feeling like a thorn in his back, what were the straw bales of the Navy doing at that time!"Falcon Navy, Falcon Navy again!"
At present, everyone on the northwest coast gritted their teeth with hatred but did not dare to openly put forward the name, and that is the Falcon Navy! This military group that controls the northwest coast is not only strong in combat, but also constantly makes the northwest coast more and more troublesome, using force to suppress one opponent after another, and even not hesitating to confront itself.
What is depressing is that he has unlimited scenery in the army, and no one can beat him, but in the navy, the strength of the southwest commander is quite limited, but if he does not pull it out, his plan to enter the northwest will face the possibility of being attacked in the back, "It seems that the only way to ask the navy is to ask the navy!" Algernonkadya snorted, in order to fight against the navy of the Congo Empire, there is just a main naval force passing through the southwest, if he can let it go north, he will completely pull out this biggest thorn in the eye before going north
The other officers at the table watched Gernonkatya's face cautiously to see how he would react.
However, Algernonkatya just said coldly, "Transfer the fleet back, in the meantime, do your best, use all means, I need you to get information about the Falcon Navy! How many people do they have, who is the commander, how many warships, anyway, I want to know their one qiē!" "Yes, Lord Commander-in-Chief," the intelligence officer quietly breathed a sigh of relief, (to be continued......
