1861 Blood and Fire, the Battle for the North of Gaul (6)

On the land of the snowy ice field, the sound of heavy cavalry hooves lifted the snow on the ground, and the Gallic blue holy beast cavalry swarms wearing blue armor and tied long silk streamers on their heads rushed to the pass in front of them with the momentum of wind and clouds, like a blue cloud floating in the white sky

"Attention, it's our cavalry, open the floodgates!"

At the bottom of the pass was a small wooden fortress, the guards on it had already become the Kyoto Army, and seeing the golden holy beast flag fluttering like a wind in front of them, the officer guarding the pass shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of the gate winch

"Giggles!"

The soldier pushed the winch, and the small fortress in front of the pass slowly opened the wooden gate, "Boom"

The cavalry rushed into the gate in front, and Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Gallic Northern Army, who was wrapped in cavalry, was among them, and the slanted light in the corner of his eyes glanced at his colleagues who had been "captured" like himself as he passed through the gate.

Ruhr, the commander of the eleventh step of the Imperial Northern Army, who has always been dissatisfied with Duke Simon, Ruhr can't see much expression on his face at the moment, and he doesn't seem to know the meaning of stepping into this gate at all, and he doesn't have much hey, so he rushed in with the cavalry, and after passing this gate, it means completely deviating from Duke Simon's northern army system, but this guy's calm face shows that he is feeling schadenfreude in his heart.

Since Lord Yard was transferred to Kyoto, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duke Simon's entry into the north of the empire is definitely a disaster, and this old nobleman of Kyoto, who spent a million gold coins to buy the position of commander-in-chief of the north from the Imperial Military Department, has never considered the preservation of the north in his mind, let alone military talent or anything.

This old bastard just used the Northern Army as a ladder to step on a higher status, and stepped on it fiercely, as for what the ladder would become, this Lord Simon was not interested in the slightest, this was not his territory. He didn't trust the Northern Army, and the Northern Army never trusted him, even the most ordinary Northern Army soldier didn't think that such a person was worth the Northern Army's life.

So when the rumored Imperial hero Tielan threw out an olive branch and promised to supply supplies fairly, Ruhl accepted it without hesitation.

For such a choice, Pat was not surprised, as a best friend. He knew that in the eyes of the purest Northern Army generals, letting his subordinates survive in this kind of internal and external difficulties was the first thing to consider, and when the two were drinking together, the most common thing about the Northern Army was the ups and downs of the Northern Army, which was a heroic army, once high-spirited, sweeping the northern part of the empire, in his mind. should still be nostalgic for the scene when the heroes of the northern army cheered loudly after the victory, what an exciting day it was!

"If everyone was still here, the situation in the north would definitely not have turned out like this, the northern army at that time. You can defeat a qiē enemy!" Ruhl always said when he was drunk,

The wind blew on his face, and Pat licked his frozen lips. On the other side, he looked at Edelin, the commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment from Langus City near Kyoto, who was less than forty years old and already showed gray temples.

Pat had long heard that this guy had been secretly in contact with Kyoto, and it was this guy who brought everyone together in the name of a military council, and then, the collective was captured by all the Kyoto troops who suddenly appeared.

Tens of thousands of Northern troops outside the military tent were collectively defected in this way, which is a typical traitorous behavior, but Ruhl can't hate Adeline at all in his heart.

In this situation, it is death to fight the Falcon Army forward, and it is also death to wait to be constantly encroached upon by Duke Simon's Bidan's army, and to be pushed to the battlefield.

Adelin's choice is not wrong, since the elite of the Northern Army advanced westward, most of them were defeated by the Falcon Army in the Battle of Danny, and the remnants of the army retreated after the tragic breakthrough in the remote Dillinger Mountains, and the glory of the Northern Army was no longer there.

The original promotion paradise suddenly turned into a mudflat, and Adelin's family difficulties were also reflected, Edlin's family was only a medium family near Kyoto, in order to push Adelin's Kyoto local army into the thriving northern army system, Edlin's family not only spent decades of the family's financial resources and connections, but also owed more than 100,000 debts, only less than half a year, all the efforts were wasted, the original creditors were all powerful and wealthy, I heard that a request has been made, the Ed family must repay a qiē within three months, otherwise Adelin will be arrested on the charge of withholding military salaries, and there was Lord Yald in front of him before, the other party still has a certain bottom line, don't dare to go too far,

But now it's different, news came from Kyoto, Lord Yard was imprisoned, and the adults of the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately proposed to reorganize the Northern Army, the so-called reorganization is actually not much different from the naked partition, Ruhr, Erinde, and themselves are all among the adjustments, Kyoto is ready to use a few reserve training officers to send the three of them, and then replace them with people from all sides, and the Northern Army at that time will really exist in name only.

"Stop!" came the order from the front, and the cavalry that had entered the gate like a flood began to slow down, and then parted to the sides, revealing fifty meters in front, where a dignified-looking middle-aged general was standing, who was the chief of the Kyoto army that he had seen in front of Duke Simon's council hall that day

"The three of them are fortunate, the situation is urgent, we can only deal with it decisively, if there is an offended other party, please forgive!" Tie Lan walked over surrounded by several generals of the Kyoto Army, he was wearing armor with a gold rim and blue background, wearing a big red flame holy beast cloak, looking majestic, holding a golden helmet in his right hand, a blue ribbon at the top of the helmet was hammered to the ground, and against the backdrop of the blue holy beast cavalry neatly arrayed on both sides, it was like an ancient hero resurrected in front of him, which made people feel an urge to worship,

In terms of appearance, Tielan, who has a good bloodline and a typical aristocratic appearance, has quite an advantage, otherwise he would not be worshiped as an idol by those hot-blooded and impulsive young people in Kyoto.

"Lord Tielan!" "Lord Tielan!" The eleventh step commander Ruer's body trembled slightly, took a deep breath, got off the war horse, Pat dismounted with him, he looked at the oncoming Tielan, hesitated, made a military salute respectfully, and said in a condensed voice, "Lord Tielan" Adlin's attitude was even more exaggerated, jumping directly from the war horse to the ground, kneeling down on one knee, just like a real direct subordinate, holding his head high respectfully. Eyes blazing "My lord!"

"Okay, good, it's already an incomparably honorable honor for me to see the three of them!" Tielan put her right hand on her chest with an excited face, and returned a military salute very solemnly, and then walked over and helped the three people up one by one, "This ...... How can you do it!" Ruhl's face was a little dazed, as if he didn't expect a big man like Tielan to be so condescending,

According to the title, he Ruhr is only a baron. And Tie Lan Ke is a real earl, he has already stepped into the steps of the duke with half a foot, in terms of identity, he Ruer is only an infantry commander in the declining Northern Army, while Tie Lan is one of the most powerful people in the Kyoto Army, compared with Duke Simon, Lord Tielan is really a touching person!

'Your people will be well settled, whether it is supplies or weapons, I will not be stingy with what I can give here" Tielan knew what he wanted most. Stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder,

This time, Ruhl solemnly knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "Your Excellency, don't worry. As long as the lord says a word, I, Ruhr and the soldiers under my command, will never hesitate to roll in the water and in the fire. They are all real warriors!, and it is only when they encounter someone like Simon who looks down on people that they become unwilling to contribute!" "I believe that they will not disgrace the battle flag of the Imperial Northern Army!" Tie Lan looked stern. I can feel the sincere and hot loyalty of the general of the Northern Army in front of me, and I sighed in my heart, I haven't seen such a general for a long time, such a person is the Northern Army that really swept the north,

Tie Lan looked at Adelin, who contributed the most this time, and said, "You can rest assured, in order to repay you, I have already written a letter to Kyoto, from now on, you Adeline will be included in my Tielan's subordinates, and I will let people settle those debts of you!" "Thank you so much, my lord!"

Adelin was so excited that he couldn't help himself, with a grateful expression, on the one hand, because of those debts, but also because he became the descendant of Tielan, a hot and powerful person in Kyoto, which was impossible to ask for before, and took the line of Tielan, it is not a dream to soar, everyone knows that Tielan is already one of the best figures in the Kyoto Army, and it is only a matter of time before he wins the command of the Kyoto Army, if it weren't for the fact that a monster like Yard who has no record or military experience is unmatched from the north to the Kyoto line, Tielan may have been the leader of the Kyoto Army a long time ago.

Tie Lan looked at the third person and hesitated, this is the person who makes him feel bottomless the most, Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army, compared with his two colleagues who have a request in their hearts, this bald head Pat who looks the most rude and scheming in appearance is actually the most difficult person in the Northern Army, "Don't worry, my goal is just to live!" The reason why I followed the other two to join the adults was because the only three remaining infantry regiments of the Northern Army were a whole, and both of them ran away, and one of me stayed or died, so I ran too!" Pat showed a mouthful of surprising white teeth, and directly stated his attitude, "There is nothing else, but no matter how you look at it now, at the moment in the north, the adults are the final winners of this war!",

Oh, why do you think that? This battle for the north has not really started yet, and the current commander of the north is still Duke Simon! The Bidan army under his command, when it comes to combat strength, the Bidan's army is still the first ...... in the north."

Tie Lan pretended to be stunned for a moment, but her eyes were shining and scared, "My lord, you are a little self-deceiving when you say this!"

Pat raised his head, his eyes flashed like a knife, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "The Northern Army is in decline, but the combat power is still there, it is still the largest army in the northern part of the empire, and it is the opponent that makes the imperial Kyoto feel threatened, but it is a pity that Simon's kind of fool can't see this, if it can be based on the Northern Army, with the advantage of the vast territory of the north, rich resources, and far away from the frontal battlefield, it only takes one to two years, and it can grow into a military group that can compete with the Kyoto Army."

"Oh, you go on!" Tielan's calm face became solemn, "If Duke Simon hadn't been so short-sighted, the North wouldn't have become what it is now!" Pat continued with a calm expression. In order to weaken the influence of the northern commander Yard on the north, in order to achieve complete control of the north in a short period of time, this old nobleman who has no ability at all and can only fight in the nest actually stupidly deliberately suppressed the northern army and created a Bidan army, thinking that he would squeeze out the northern army to strengthen himself, but in fact, he didn't realize that there was no northern commander of the northern army. It's a joke in itself,

"An army can only be called an army if it has experienced the forging of iron and blood, either putting on armor and taking up arms or soldiers, not to mention really winning the loyalty of the Northern Army, an army without loyalty, how can it be combative, a series of clumsy expressions of the Northern Army in the war, Duke Simon is fully responsible.

This is an army that has always been heroic, because it will only give full play to the talents who are worthy of its desperate efforts!, so I can say with certainty that if the Bidans meet the Falcon Army, the final result will be a crushing defeat!" Pat's categorical tone echoed across the snowy land, and there was silence all around,

After glancing at Tie Lan's gaze, he said loudly, "I'm sure your Excellency is also well aware of this, because now." The advancing Falcon Army should have met Simon Old Fox's proudest Pydan Legion, 30,000 against 30,000, regardless of the result. In fact, it doesn't make much sense, because the adults have already controlled the overall situation in advance, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the adults who have nearly 100,000 troops in the northern army of the Kyoto Army. will be the real winner of this battle for the north" "The real winner, well! Well said, Will you help me?" Tielan looked at Pat, "Can my lord let me live?"

Tielan laughed at the corner of her mouth. It's really a big gain, I didn't expect that there was such a hole in the Northern Army, sure enough, it is not a simple person who can climb to the top in the Northern War forged by blood and fire, Ruhr has his own unique loyalty, Pat looks at the overall situation calmly, although Elinder has some small flaws, but he is also a resourceful excellent general, this time the collective defection of the Northern Army with a layout of tens of thousands of people can be described as a drop of water, it is estimated that until now, Duke Simon is still in the dark

For the first time, he felt that leaving Kyoto was an extremely correct choice, how could he see such a beautiful scenery without stepping out of the circle, looking around at the kind of wealthy families in Kyoto, everyone wanted to take a piece of the army interests.

Even if it is himself, it is impossible to have the opportunity to independently control such a large army of up to tens of thousands of people with rich combat experience, but here, he can easily do it, because it is far away from the power center of Kyoto, and what is more valuable is that the Northern Army is not a fragile motley card as rumored, but a military group with a heroic heritage and a self-contained system, these officers and soldiers were once soldiers who fought desperately against the Slavs,

Glory, bravery, and rich experience are not at all comparable to the troops that have been formed in a short period of time in Kyoto, just because of the fiasco of Danny, they were deliberately forgotten in the cold of the north, and suffered from the slander of others in Kyoto, the northern army is like a sword falling into the dust, and it is impossible to see its original face, but under his own unintentional kiss, he found that what he picked up may not be a piece of scrap iron, but a sharp sword that is enough to cut off a qiē!

Tielan sighed deeply in his heart, he felt that he was no longer so vague from the center of power in his dreams, and he should start from the north as soon as he started from the north!

"Report, the Bi Dan Army and the Falcon Army have encountered in the Winter Valley!" A blue holy beast cavalry rushed into the gate, and the shouting voice drew everyone's eyes over, and the atmosphere became tense, and the Bi Dan Army and the Falcon Army met!

"Order the cavalry to prepare"

In the silence, Tie Lan's back turned around, the red general's cloak fluttered in the cold wind, and the five thousand blue holy beast cavalry behind him, as the first wave of assault troops, were putting on the saddle of the war horse, sorting out the weapons, putting on the armor, putting on a layer of cold robes on the armor jacket, the war horse neighed lowly, and the nose was inciting and spewing out a stream of white gas,

"Brush!"

Hearing the order, the blue holy beast cavalry stepped on their horses neatly, making a uniform sound of metal armor colliding, like a cold wind blowing the ridge, all the cavalry had a high-spirited battle spirit on their faces, and they began to go out in a queue from the slowly rolled up pass gate,

The iron hooves shattered the cold ice on the ground, and under the guidance of the blue holy beast cavalry's gold-edged red flame holy beast flag, it blended into the cold wind whistling in the face, and the time had already been calculated, from here to the winter valley for about twenty miles, the cavalry slowed down, and there was still an hour of rest,

Four hours later, when the Bi Dan Army and the Falcon Army were already exhausted, in the thick of the night, the all-out assault of the five thousand blue holy beast cavalry was enough to reverse the battle on the battlefield! Of course, if the Bi Dan Army was annihilated in the Winter Valley, and the Falcon Army really broke through to Antura, he could also personally lead 100,000 troops to cut through the Winter Valley, cut off the back road of the Falcon Army that broke into the Antura region, and then reflexively ate the 30,000 Falcon Army's northward marching army that had just been seriously injured in the Winter Valley.

How to look at it, there is no suspense about the outcome of this war, just as Pat said, he has stood on the victory scale of this northern battle in advance, and it is heavy enough to tilt the scale in advance.

The unexpected northern war situation seems to have slipped in a direction that surprises even the fat man

Tielan, Pat, the Northern Army, the Kyoto Army, the Salon Army, the Central Army, inadvertently, the decisive battle of 100,000 people between the two armies was like the last trace of warmth in the winter sun of the Gallic Empire, and the last trace of fierceness flashed on this land that had been frozen for thousands of miles.
