Threats that are not threats (2)

Baozi sincerely thanked the Qumado brothers for voting 2 and the LMY brothers for 1 vote

Thundered......

A bright bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and in the dark sky, it brought a series of dull rolling thunders, like the hooves of thousands of horses flying overhead,

"Whoa"

In the white raindrops, the muddy earth was covered with bursts of white water, like a huge rain curtain covering it

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Vikia army, the fat man was looking at the information in his hand suspiciously,

If it weren't for the fact that this information had been reviewed by many parties and determined to be accurate, he would have thought that it was a false message sent by the Kujits, which was specially used to cover up the intention of breaking out.

The Vikia army has surrounded the Kugits in the middle from three directions, and the royal court has appeared at this critical time, just this morning, more than a dozen tribal leaders led by the Berik tribe, united thousands of tribesmen, on the way to the review, ambushed the Khan King Ssaiari, who came to inspect this morning,

According to the intelligence statement,

The food of the people of Kugit has been cut off, and most of the soldiers can only rely on digging weeds for food, because of the lack of wood for burning fire and the unclean environment brought by continuous heavy rain, the plague is rampant in the Kugit military camp, and every day you can see corpses pulled out of the barracks and discarded alone in a deep pit of 100 meters long on the left side of the camp, the corpses are piled up more than ten meters high, most of them are white and swollen by the rain bubbles, like drowned rats, which is shocking to see

In order to appease the fluctuating hearts of the Kugit tribes, the Khan King Sisai Ali, who had always been high, adopted the traditional method of reviewing the tribes to raise morale, and according to the pre-arrangement, this morning he took a small number of guards to the Hewen tribe on the left side of the camp, which was the hardest hit area by the plague, and it is said that at least 2,000 of the 5,000 people in the entire military camp fell, causing panic among the people.

When passing through the middle of the Peric camp, the Khan was suddenly attacked by thousands of Beric cavalry, if it were not for the desperate battle of the royal court guards, the Khan King Arissai might have become the first King of Kugit to die on the way to the review, which is undoubtedly a great shame for a king, even after death, his body will not be able to be transported back to Tulka for burial,

Although the Khan King escaped in the end, this incident was tantamount to a fatal attack for the crumbling Turga court.

For when the Khan returned and requisitioned troops from the tribes to prepare for revenge, he found that the tribes had a very cold response to his orders, and except for a few tribes with direct interest in sending a small number of cavalry, the other chieftains were mostly indifferent

Kugit is a people who obey the laws of the wolf pack, and only the strongest are qualified to lead them, and a series of defeats and mistakes in losing their shelter have finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the tribes with the current wolf king.

This assassination undoubtedly shows that the king of Tulga has lost his prestige among these Kugit tribes who respect the head wolf, and since the leader of the Perik tribe has challenged most of the tribes to choose neutrality until a new wolf king appears,

"Where are the people?"

The fat man raised his head and asked, his eyes sharply looked at Salon, this report was sent by Salonn just now, according to his report, this bold leader of the Peric tribe, on the one hand, was fully prepared for war, and on the other hand, he also extended an olive branch to the opposite Vicchian army, seeking refuge from the great Falcon Duke

"The messenger of the Beric tribe has been waiting outside for the summons of the Grand Duke," the god Salon—replied nervously, "I have sent someone for those Kugit captives to secretly confirm that the person who came is indeed Berke Joseph, the son of the Burke chieftain Berkenso, and is said to be the number one god hand in the young generation of Kugit, and the most beloved son of the Buric patriarch."

"This time he came to us, in addition to sheltering, he also hopes to be able to continue to graze the pasture that was originally in Tulga to the Beric tribe" Speaking of this, Salon's voice suddenly paused, and he said with a strange expression, "Jiā's change of conditions is to let us fight bloodlessly, and we can also make the Tulka royal court choose to submit within three days"

"Can you make the royal court submit without blood?" The fat man slapped his chin with his hand, and couldn't help but feel a burst of heartbeat, this condition is indeed worth enough, although it has surrounded the royal court of Tulga now. It's just that now he is only besieging the Tulga royal court and not attacking it, except for considering the fierce resistance that will be encountered.

There is another important reason, that is, among the tens of thousands of Kugit troops, less than one-third of the troops really belong to the royal court, and the rest are the people of various tribes, if you really want to adopt a strategy of strong attack, not to mention your own damage for the time being, these tens of thousands of dead Kugit people, that are all experienced cavalry, and they are also involved in nearly a million Kugit people, the loss of this precious wealth is where the fat man has been hesitating,

With the growth of the domestic economy of Vekia, the demographic problems in some areas have also become prominent.

The fat man still remembers that the population report sent from Zhivadin last month, the total population of Vicchia plus the population of some western regions and the newly occupied Alberon region, all of which add up to only 6.6 million people, of which the number of soldiers alone accounts for 150,000, and the population ratio has reached 20 to 1, which is a dangerous signal,

The war is not only fought with financial resources, but also land resources and population reserves, according to the current proportion of the Vikia army, the maximum mobilization capacity of the Vikia army is 200,000 people, if there are no new soldiers to replenish it, only in terms of the number of troops that can be mobilized, Vekia is at most an ordinary power, not to mention that compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, compared with the Dorok people in the east, it is said that the total number of troops that can be mobilized is more than 200,000

This is also the reason why the fat man insists on fighting Tulga, the Kugit people, who are all soldiers, can undoubtedly provide themselves with extremely sufficient soldiers, so that Vekia's military strength can be taken to a higher level, and it can truly reach the strength of first-class powers such as Ruierdian and Roude

"I can give them back the ranch, but see if they're worth the price"

The fat man thought for a moment and got up from his seat, and waved for Salonn to bring in the messenger of the Beric tribe, and he wanted to see what the famous god hand of the steppe could do to bring the court of Tulka to its knees

Soon two guards outside the tent walked in with a young Kujit from outside the tent, and when they saw the fat man standing, the young Kugit hurriedly bent down, put his right hand on his iōng mouth, and gave the fat man the most solemn right hand salute of the Kujits

"Honorable Grand Duke of Falcon, greetings from the Peric people," said the young man, bowing his head, in a muffled voice, with a strange tone in his voice, which the fat man had heard in Scelis before,

It was a trembling tongue, like a cheerful warbler trembling on the tip of the tongue, which was a habit of the Kugit people to speak with honorifics, but the pleasant voice of Scelis brought a sense of beauty, and the voice of the young hand was distinctly profound,

The other party's youth made the fat man slightly surprised, the fat man can guarantee that this guy's age will never exceed 18 years old, the corners of the young mouth are still gray - immature velvet appearance delicate, posture ǐng pull, if it is not for the two temples combed with the drooping sideburns that Kugit has only the ability to have, it is very similar to the kind of fallen little nobleman who does not come out in his own attic, but a pair of arms appear to be extraordinarily slender and stout, and at first glance it is caused by pulling a strong bowstring all year round

The fat man waved the young man up, asked the guard to bring a cup of hot water from outside the tent, and then asked, "You are the messenger of the Beric tribe, Joseph Burke? ”

"Yes, I used to be a skilled man," said Joseph Burke, taking a cautious sip of hot water before whispering, "but I haven't had an arrow for a long time since I learned from Lord Doweiyan that there is something called a crossbow."

"Oh, why?" the fat god was surprised, he could sense that the young Kugit hand was a very calm man, not like the kind of casual flatterer

"Because the best hand can only go up 200 meters, but the crossbow can easily go up 250 meters," said Joseph Burke, gesturing with his hand in a gesture of drawing the bow

Lowering his hand, Joseph Burke shrugged his shoulders helplessly and responded

"Since my bow and arrow can't beat the crossbow, then the archery skills I have practiced hard are meaningless, because a crossbowman who has been training for several months may be able to pierce my throat with an arrow from a distance of 250 meters.

The most important thing is that if this crossbow is in the hands of the number one general in the mainland, then the goal is not just as simple as an arrow piercing the throat, but the entire kingdom, I don't want to be a target in front of the crossbow."

"Hehe, whether what you say is true or not, I won't pursue it" The fat man was amused by Burke Joseph's words, this little guy obviously meant something, and there was something in the words, but the free and easy jīng god head was l-exhaustive

After a pause, the fat man continued

"I can promise you now. Your Beric pastures in Tulka are still yours, and you can now say that there is any way to make the Tuga royal court collapse without a fight in a few days."

"Thank you to the Grand Duke for not being guilty of the past" Hearing the fat man's promise, Joseph Burke stood up and knelt down again in front of him, holding his right hand in his mouth

"In fact, the method is very simple, the biggest problem of the Tulka royal court now, in addition to the lack of food, is the loss of prestige, my Berkeli have lit a fire for the grand duke, the grand duke only needs to add a fire, and the Tulka royal court will completely collapse",

"Add a fire?" the fat man frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by this fire?"

"Your Excellency only needs to send a messenger to complete this qiē"

The corners of Burke Joseph's eyebrows rose, and he said with a look of great joy, "Have you forgotten the 60,000 captives in your hands, that is the most important bargaining chip in the hands of adults, in this case, if you add another 60,000 mouths to eat, no matter how tough the royal court is, it will not be able to parry."

"Captives, you mean put all the captives back" A hint of realization flashed through the fat man's mind, and he almost jumped up from his seat, his face uncertain.

"Yes, put it all back" God Joseph Berke nodded firmly and said, "The 2 flag regiments of the Grand Duke have cut off all the connections between the Tulka Royal Court and the rear, in front is the well-defended Green Pass, on the left is the Grand Duke, and on the right is a defensive line full of watchtowers, the current Tulka Royal Court has no way to advance, no way to retreat, it can be said that it has reached the edge of the end of the road, and it only needs a light push to fall, and these 60,000 prisoners without weapons and equipment are the last straw that crushes the royal court,

Not only can it make the depleted royal court unable to support it, but it can also show the kindness of the Grand Duke to our Kugit tribes, and other tribes who are dissatisfied with the royal court will inevitably see the current situation and choose to leave the royal court within a few days and join the Grand Duke's account."

Let the guards send Burke Joseph down, and the fat man will find Salon, and when the fat man tells Burke Joseph's plan, Salon was stunned for a long time before he reacted

"This is the most outrageous plan I've ever heard, but it's also the most terrifying plan" Sharon took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly, and said, "If the king of Tulka on the other side knows about this plan, I don't know what kind of expression it will be 60,000 people, whether it will be or not, it may really be the only way to escape alone"

"Well, I also think this plan is feasible" The fat man nodded and said, "This matter is for you, find a clever subordinate to take care of those prisoners, starve them for 2 days and then put them back, to prevent the other party from plotting, 60,000 hungry soldiers who even have problems walking, how much wind can they make."

"Grand Duke Hee-hee's approach is even more ruthless than the plan just now."

Salon gasped when he heard this, gave the fat man a thumbs up, and said with a smile in his mouth, "That's 60,000 hungry Kugit soldiers, if they all make a fuss and don't smash the bottom of King Tulkhan's pot, then we just need to drive over, and the whole battle can be over."

Three days later, at night, the Kujits sentry found a large number of soldiers from the Wikia barracks, these soldiers were not wearing any armor or weapons, and their bodies were supporting each other, like a group of grasshoppers on a rope, shaking each other, and their steps were staggering slowly in the direction where they were

"Watch out for enemy attacks"

In the distance, Captain Kugit shouted,

A Kugit soldier quickly stood up from behind the rejection of the horse, raised his compound bow and aimed at the strange figures who came out of the rain curtain

After this period of suffering, everyone is a little scared, the scouts of the Vikia army always rely on the crossbow arrows in their hands, and from time to time throw them at the Kugit defense line, which makes Captain Blok nervous, as long as he sees the black shadow, he immediately shouts the enemy attack

"Nkeza, why don't I feel right, in the past, these guys were only active outside the city, why did they all come in today" A partner next to him touched the nervous Kujitt's hand with his arm, and whispered, "And this number is too many, there are at least more than 3,000 people in front of us now, if you charge, you should start to launch"

"Hell, how do I know" Kujit soldier said with a helpless face, and his voice paused, "To be honest, now I hope that the Wikibians will launch an offensive, I heard that the Wikibians don't kill prisoners very much, so when the time comes, throw the weapon and lie on the ground, maybe I will have a chance to return to my beloved Tulga"

Strike to stop the enemy from advancing" Captain Blok's voice came again, and the two Kugit hands hurriedly released the arrow cluster in their hands, "whoosh" was like a sparse raindrop in the dark night, and countless swift black shadows went to the sky diagonally above,

"Poof" There was a scream of arrows in the distance, and the black shadow that was shaking and approaching in the distance suddenly fell down in a large area, and all kinds of painful howls and insults came with the wind, although they were far away, but they could vaguely hear these words so familiar

"Stop, stop hitting immediately"

In the distance, Captain Blok's panicked shouts were heard, in fact, he didn't need to shout, and the Kugit men stopped fighting, their eyes were full of confusion and hesitation, because those shouts and curses that came with the wind were all in the Kugit language they were familiar with, which undoubtedly told them that the targets they were aiming at just now were their own compatriots,

"Scout, immediately make the situation in front clear and see if the Vicchian army is following behind" The captains at all levels of the front line are also tricky, this scene is too weird,

At this moment, the news about the appearance of a large number of their own clansmen in front of the defense line quickly reached the ears of the leaders of the various tribes, which made them feel panicked for a while, they did not know why their own clansmen appeared within the attack line at this moment,

Some of the leaders even gave orders to continue the attack, as they mistakenly believed that the Vikchian army was driving their people as the vanguard of the attack, as no one had done before

The scouts soon brought back reassuring news from the front

There were no Vekians behind the large number of people, not even the most basic surveillance troops, and these dark shadows were all captured soldiers and generals on the left flank

They even found the body of Beryl, the leader of the left wing, who had fallen from an arrow in the front, among a group of fallen corpses, indicating that he was not prepared for the cluster of arrows coming out of his camp

The thought of their people being able to return safely undoubtedly drove the Kujit people crazy, and they rushed out of their defensive lines, embraced their brothers passionately with their arms, supported their weak bodies, and walked back step by step together, but soon, this enthusiasm and jī encouragement disappeared into invisibility, because they found that they had 60,000 more extremely hungry mouths, and some of the tribal leaders realized that they had stepped into a path without choice

"Knock Knock"

From time to time, the sound of the drums came from the direction of the royal tent, and the leaders looked at each other, some chose to turn away, and some hesitated to continue walking towards the tent

It's almost the New Year, and I'm impetuous
