1479 Collapse of the Sky (12)
Rwanaca Aka, Falcon Garrison Headquarters,
Raindrops like beads fell on the half-hidden windowsill, turning into crystal clear water droplets splashing in all directions, and the white rain line outside fell from the black sky, shrouding the entire headquarters building in a white rain mist.
Farther away at the big iron gate of the mansion, the iron railing on the cyan gate had long been washed by the rain, and the guards in charge of the guard duty were wearing waterproof felt cloaks, and their standing figures had turned into small fixed black dots in the blurred rain.
In order to be able to protect the crude oil resources of Rwanacre, the fat man spent a sky-high price of 100,000 gold coins to buy the so-called "magic dragon's blood" from the Rwanaca regime and sent a garrison of 5,000 people.
Lidarchus was a genius in logistics, in charge of the production and extraction of crude oil within the empire, and was very familiar with the affairs of extraction, under his practice, the amount of crude oil extracted in just one month increased from 500 barrels to 1,500 barrels, the number tripled, and became an important guarantee for the Falcon Army on the northern border, and it is now late November, he is overseeing the final loading of crude oil for this month, and the navy's transport fleet usually comes every half month
But this time it was not the Navy transport ship, but the news of the Southwest's troops, and he was a little caught off guard, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Mountains of crude oil in warehouses are still waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet if all this precious crude oil falls into the hands of the Southwestern army. It is likely that the military secrets that the Falcon Army has always kept strictly "no one is allowed to evacuate until the transport fleet arrives!"
Lidarchus gave his subordinates a death order, and he took the lead in writing a suicide note,
The garrison was only 5,000 men, and according to the report, the southwestern army that had been pressed up from the Atwood side had reached 20,000 men, and there were indications that these 20,000 troops were probably only the vanguard of the southwestern army, and the southwestern army had already made an all-out attack, pressing up from both the east and the west. It's just that for some reason, temporarily stay in the outlying areas of Rwanacre, "Your Majesty, the number of enemy troops is ten times that of our army, and the chance of victory is almost equal to zero, in order to ensure that the secret of crude oil does not fall into the hands of the enemy, my subordinates have decided that if reinforcements do not arrive, we will set fire to all barrels of crude oil." Live and die with the enemy!
Combining the last suicide note in his hand, Lidarchus stood up from his desk, his iron boots making a heavy sound on the wooden floor.
His footsteps stopped in front of a human-tall upright glass mirror.
His eyes burned, and he looked at the young general in the lenses who was a little pale and relatively energetic, with a black Falcon Army armor background. It is embellished with the crest of the Lida family with golden tassel lines, and the dashing hair has been cut short, forming a spiritual and murderous inch. The joints of the armor are covered with thickened iron plates, like a humanoid monster covered in iron, with a metallic scaled body and a living human head on it.
Lidarchus swung his neck from side to side with difficulty in the armor, there was nothing uncomfortable, a little awkward, but he was able to endure it, although it was heavy, but he could guarantee that he would not be cut in two by the enemy on the battlefield, it was really funny, I don't know if someone would shout "behead the enemy general" after cutting off my head, Lidakus laughed bitterly at himself
As if he had to be picky, that is, the weight was a little too heavy, Lidarchus raised his hand with difficulty, pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed a few times, and then he was a little out of breath,
You must know that according to the armament standards of the Falcon Empire, the infantry armor weighs 20 catties to 50 catties because of the different types of troops, and the weight of the general's heavy armor is a double-layer structure, the outer layer is the overall forged plate armor, and the inner layer is a lighter chain mail, weighing nearly 40 catties.
And Lidarchus's armor was specially forged by the fat man according to Lidarchus's requirements, and the weight was about 20 catties lighter than the ordinary general's armor, and the inner chain mail was canceled, and the gorgeous pattern of the outer panel armor was added.
It looks thick, but it's not as heavy as it looks, otherwise Lidarchus may have been lying on the ground with no foot by now, putting on the armor on his body, Lidarchus's hand reached out to a helmet in the shape of an eagle's wing placed next to him, the helmet is made of iron, smooth and shiny, and the top of the delicate helmet is a two-way forward protruding wing, which was built by Lidacus himself after becoming the governor,
This represents his hope that he can become the falcon wings of the Falcon Empire, which is a rare honor that belongs to a soldier, but Lidarchus did not expect that this honor would come in such a form, "In a desperate situation and desperately fighting, watching the sun fall in the corpse-strewn land, how majestic and beautiful" Lidarchus muttered to himself, picked up the helmet next to him, and gently brushed his hand over the wings at the top of the helmet, the exquisitely carved wings revealed a faint luster, and the armor surface full of metal coldness, the cold and piercing feeling came from between his fingers,
"It turns out that those legendary characters are not as light as they imagined when making choices!" Lidarchus glanced at the graceful helmet in his hand, which would soon be stained with hot blood, his own, or the enemy's, or both, and shook his head with a wry smile on his lips
"Although you are not a military general, but fighting to the death, even if you die because of this, and become a figure admired by future generations, isn't it always what you are pursuing? Why are you hesitating now? You have climbed to the position of governor, even if you leave an infamy, there is nothing to regret! The duty of a soldier is to fight, whether it is despicable or great, victory comes first, General Lida, are you ready to fall into hell?" Lidarchus shouted to himself in the mirror, and asked several questions in one breath,
In the end, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and without hesitation in his eyes, he slowly put on the helmet in the shape of eagle wings in his hand. The metal armor was put down, blocking the entire face, revealing only a pair of eyes full of bloodshot and murderous intent, as cold and ruthless as the night, "General, the troops have been assembled!" The door was pushed open from the outside, and the adjutant's voice was a little nervous, "Okay, let's act! We are very short on time, only by fully occupying Rwanaca can we gain more strength to help us resist the attack of the southwesters!" Lidakus inserted the long sword in his hand into the scabbard. Walking to the door with his head held high,
In the heavy rain, the assault force composed of 2,000 Falcon Corps suddenly drove into the residence of the local government in Rwanacre, the defense of the city lord of Rwanaca was not strong, there were only less than 500 guards, as a small coastal area, the entire area of Rwanaka had only about 5,000 troops, most of which were arranged in military camps outside the city. There were only a small number of city guards in the city.
The well-armed Falcon Warriors effortlessly broke through the barriers of the City Lord's Mansion guards, and the killing guards scurried in all directions, with deafening sounds of fighting and fleeing. The lord of Rwanaca woke up from his deep sleep and heard a commotion outside, only to wake up from his daze, "What's wrong?
The answer to him was the door that was slammed open, and the black-armored soldier with blood stains on his armor for more than ten meters broke in. Then Lidarchus, who usually has a polite and polite image, walked in from the outside,
"Lord Vernal, don't come unharmed!" said Lidarchus in a deep voice, "you...... What do you want to do!" the lord stared at the familiar Lidarchus, his eyes bulging.
Dressed in black armor, he looked like a killing god descending in the night, and the ominous premonition made the lord of Vernal let out a shout like killing a pig, "Don't kill me, 1 I can give you whatever you want!" There is no trace of the demeanor of the ancestor Rose Knight, "Really, for the sake of the empire, just borrow your head! As for Rwanacre, leave it to me to guard! You don't have to worry too much!" Lidakus slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and looked at Vernal, whose already frightened body was like a sifting chaff, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes,
"Poof"
With both hands using all their strength, he slashed at the lord's neck with a sword, and the cold light slashed across the lord's neck, and the lord's head opened his eyes in disbelief, watching the blood spray from his headless chest cavity into the air, "splashing" bright red human blood like a heavy rain in the air, spraying directly on Lidakus's body
"Whew"
Coming out of the room, Lidarchus gulped in the air outside, his long sword was on the ground, and it was stained with red blood, no one would have thought that this was the first time that he, the Governor, had killed someone!"Lord Governor, everything has been cleaned up!" A bloodied infantry captain ran to report "134 people in total, it has been checked, and nothing has been missed!" "134 people!" Lidakus listened to this bloody number, his eyes closed for a while, 134 innocent people! Just because of himself, he has become a wronged soul tonight, and he is already cold-blooded!" "Lord Governor, what should we do next?" asked the infantry captain
Lidakus suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the white raindrops falling in the sky, and said sharply, "Immediately put a notice on the whole city, the local lord has been executed for rebellion, the lord belongs to the Qiē, land, treasure, and taxes all belong to the Rwanaca people, from now on, stop collecting a qiē tax, the army is all disbanded, they are the new masters of this land!"
The fat man got out of the carriage, glanced at the report passed by the guard, crumpled it angrily, and scolded several stupid people in a rare rage! Who made you die! I don't agree to such words, Besukaya in the frightened carriage didn't even dare to poke his head out, just muttered in his heart like a deer, and didn't know what was going on, making His Majesty the Falcon so angry,
After a few minutes, the fat man calmed down angrily again, and once again spread out the report that the palm of his hand had been pinched by himself and was full of crumplors,
In this report, Lidakus decided to unilaterally take Rwanacre. Then mobilize all the Rwanaca people to fight against the invasion of the southwestern army, the mind is good, but this is Yan zhòng's lack of actual combat experience!
"This guy shouldn't have gone to the front! Nothing has been done, and there is more than enough failure!" the fat man fiercely criticized the consequences of Lidakus's self-determination, and at this time, Besukaya dared to get out of the carriage, looked at the information curiously, and said, "The governor of Lidakus chose to hold on to Rwanaka, and it was also a helpless move, if we could send reinforcements to arrive." It should also have the strength to fight with the southwest!"
"What do you know! If only it were that simple!" The fat man smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "I expected the southwest to send troops, but I didn't expect the other party to strike before us, and in terms of strategic layout, it does have a good ability!"
"Remarkable ability?" Besukaya glanced at the information a few times, but didn't see anything special, "Isn't it just an ordinary gathering of troops?
"War is not as simple as you see, fight wits and courage, do everything!" The fat man looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "The reason why the other party is not moving on the border is not as simple as it seems,
"Actually, he has a similar intention to move our troops south. They all hope to force the opponent's naval fleet to go south or north, and cooperate with the naval fleet to annihilate it, and the battlefield chosen by the other side is Rwanacre, and we choose Atwood, and the opponent's first strike really caught us off guard."
The fat man's voice stopped, and he said with some disdain, "The geographical location of Rwanaca is for our northwest coast. Strategically it was a very disadvantageous position, too close to the enemy's Sea City of Atwood and a further distance from the Northwest Coast Junction. The Southwestern Army can rely on this advantage and rely on the sea city of Atwood to launch a steady stream of troops to attack Rwanaka.
And if we want to send troops to help. It is necessary to transport troops and materials in batches through the long coastline, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to be unable to do so. The fat man took a deep breath, "The other party's target is not actually Rwanac, but our entire northwest coast!"
But just give up. I'm a little unwilling."
Besukaya gritted his silver-like teeth, and said boldly, "I think I can understand the feelings of the governor of Lidarchus, I have also heard rumors about him in some places, although he is already a governor of one side, unlike several other governors, or has great military achievements, or has outstanding achievements in government affairs, he is the backbone of the empire, only he, it is entirely because of his qualifications that His Majesty was finally embarrassed to be crowned governor, so in the face of such an opportunity, it is inevitable that there will be such an outrageous action!" The problem is, it's not out of line, it's simply ignorance without a big picture!"
The fat man snorted, if it wasn't Besukaya who said this, he might have scolded a long time ago, "Although giving up Rwanaka will make some changes in the plan, it will not have any impact on the whole, as long as the navy in the southwest is annihilated, I am still confident that I will recapture Rwanaka from the Southwest Army,
"Now that we have been tossed by Lidacus like this, our situation has suddenly reversed, and it is simply in the hands of the Southwest Army, as long as the other side puts on the momentum of attacking Rwanacre, it will be able to effortlessly let our limited forces continue to fill in,
There is Atwood Sea City behind the opponent, and there is nothing behind this side except the vast sea, and it can only rely on the strength of the navy, which needs to be fully operational in order to complete the transportation task in order to support the war situation.
The whole fleet is like being crucified within the sea area, completely losing the initiative advantage achieved by the victory in the naval battle, this is not the biggest problem, and what worries me the most is that Rwanaca will become a quagmire that the entire Falcon Army can not extricate itself from, and the northwest coast where the troops are constantly being emptied, for countries such as Denia and Ruosende, which have always had a heart, it is simply a piece of fat and oily meat, regardless of whether the other party is tempted at the beginning or not, good things have been placed for a long time, and they will become tempting if they are not moved! With the combined strength of these two countries of nearly 200,000 troops, what will we, who are deeply trapped in the Rwanaca area, resist?"
"This ......"
Besukaya's pretty face turned slightly pale, and her big eyes were full of shock, she didn't expect that the fat man could see such a terrible chain reaction just by relying on the other party's gathering of troops, the name of the god of war, it really wasn't blown,
In this man's mind, there is always something that shocks people, as unfathomable as the stars and the earth,
She always thought that it was not difficult to win in the war, and in the days when she followed the fat man, she had seen too many victories, and she thought that she had mastered some ways to win, but now she realized that among the real top masters, this point of her own cleverness is simply self-inflicted!
"The other party is waiting for us to jump into the pit, this pit, we can't jump!"
The fat man gritted his teeth and put away the information, and the other party's initiative made the entire plan inevitably deviate, and Lidakus's arbitrary behavior turned the whole deviation into a reversal of the situation.
Now the only way to give up Rwanaka is to give up Rwanaka first, the fat man turned around and ordered to the guard next to him, "Immediately tell the naval fleet to go south to Rwanaka, and after annihilating the enemy's navy, with the goal of destroying the naval dock, enter the southwest sea to find an opportunity to give me a hard beating for the southwest army,
I'm going to tell that self-righteous guy that next time, I'll pay a direct visit to his southwest district......!
