Chapter 31: The Great Army Expedition
Sending troops to the Alterac Mountains, such a rumor has spread throughout the city in the main city of Lordaeron.
However, this news is not accurate at all, this is Rex deliberate.
There are very few people who really know that the target of this expedition is Talon County, and Rex has discussed it with King Jean, and no one else has mentioned it.
Rex didn't mention it, but King Jean would definitely discuss it with a few important ministers who relied on him, and Rex calculated that Vincent would know it, and Darius would know it, and apart from these two, the others knew very little.
Rex also discussed with his cheap father a few times and made some arrangements,
But these people who know the details of what happened will definitely not leak in advance, which is exactly the case, so Rex directly set the target of his troops on the Alterac Mountains.
Most of the soldiers who were cut last time were arranged not far from the Alterac Mountains to start tuning, and after such actions, there was a tendency to move troops, and after such public opinion quarreled in the main city of Lordaeron, there were still many people who believed it.
Looking at the deputy head in front of him, he firmly believed that while Rex's face was unhappy, he also felt very satisfied with the public opinion he made this time.
All the news leaks this time, as well as the hype, were all arranged by Rex, so it was extremely lively.
When everyone was Yi Wei and the Kingdom of Gilneth was about to make a move against the Alterac Mountains, Rex suddenly made a move against Talon County, caught off guard, and Talon County could be conquered in one battle. At minimal cost. Defeat the Lord of Talon County.
Take that 200,000 people. All of them were swallowed up, and the thought of this brought a shallow smile to Rex's face.
Rex used soldiers, and it was easy for King Jean to agree, what is the most fundamental reason? It's not that Talung County has now become fat, with a population of 200,000, and if you remove the old, weak, women and children, then there are 60,000 or 70,000 young people.
The world of Azeroth is a cruel world. In order not to be a burden to the family, many old people left directly, went into the mountains to wait for death, or left their hometowns and wandered, in short, the population of the old and weak is very low, much less than women and children.
Large population. It represents a large number of laborers, and now the Kingdom of Gilneis. It was the moment of lack of people, and it was difficult for some noble territories to do it, but this committed the great sin of collaborating with the enemy and betraying mankind, and it was suitable to act as a scapegoat.
"Keep this news in mind, if there is any rumor outside, the military law will be held accountable," Rex glanced sharply at a pair of eyes, and after everyone present, he said with a cold voice.
"Command!" Everyone didn't dare to confront Rex, and said respectfully.
"All dispersed, go down and prepare, Ulysses and Osborne stay." Rex looked straight ahead and spoke.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Ulysses and Osborne sat motionless, calmly sitting on the chair, such eyes The two have seen too much, as Rex's henchmen, the status of the two is naturally not comparable to others.
Looking at the two of them left in the tent, Rex continued to speak; "This time to mobilize troops against Dalong County, which of the two of you will go?"
Ulysses and Osborne glanced at each other, there was a slight doubt between the two, surprised, but then this thought, it had disappeared cleanly, replaced by fire, the kingdom of Gilneth since the battle of Hyjal Holy Mountain, has not moved troops for more than a year, this period of time has been recuperating.
It had already tickled the bones of Ulysses and Osborne.
As a general, they know that fighting a war is not a good thing, but they are still full of desire for war.
This time, I thought it was Rex who personally led the troops, so the two of them were very calm at first, because the two knew that no matter how much they fought, they couldn't fight Rex, but now with Rex's words, it means that Rex will not go, which naturally makes the two of them beat their hearts quickly, and they are hot one by one, looking at Rex's eyes, full of heat.
"I'll go," Ulysses, who was younger and quicker, was the first to say loudly.
Compared with Ulysses's reaction, Osborne was a little slower, after watching Ulysses speak, Osborne's open mouth was reunited, although Osborne also wanted to go to this battle, but he knew that this battle could only use one legion commander at most, if Ulysses went, then it would be impossible for him to continue to go.
Osborne still understood this truth, so when he was robbed by Ulysses, Osborne fell silent and stood aside without saying a word.
Seeing this, Rex nodded to Ulysses.
Seeing Rex's expression, Ulysses was overjoyed, but Osborne did not react.
For this situation, it was not at all surprising to Rex, after all, Osborne was old and relatively calm, and if it was Ulysses, he would have called out at this moment.
For this move on Talon County, Rex didn't have a good idea of whether Osborne or Ulysses, and who of the two would go.
Whether it's Osborne or Ulysses, they've been with Rex for a long time, and the two of them have been trained to be on their own.
At the beginning, the undead who were responsible for exterminating the East and West Plague Lands were each responsible for one place, among which Ulysses was responsible for the East Plague Land, this time if Ulysses went, with the original relationship, with a favorable location, the probability of success was very high, and in exchange for Osborne, with Osborne's calmness, the success rate was not low, who did Rex send in the end, and now Ulysses took the initiative, Osborne did not object, Rex made a direct decision, then Ulysses.
The battle against Talonjun was a sneak attack this time, so it was not advisable to have too many troops.
The sky is getting lighter and lighter, the dark clouds are thick, the thunder and lightning are flashing, Rex is still there in the military zone, but he has not left, not only Rex is still there, but now he has added a large person, mage, after receiving Rex's summons, big, mage, without any delay, came back directly, want to march in, the army is conquest, naturally it is impossible to rely on long-distance marches, take the road of the Western Plague Land,
If you take the road of the western plague, the movement of the army will definitely leak, there is no doubt about this.
If that's the case, then why did Rex bother with the news that he was going to attack the Alterac Mountains this time, which is not an extra move.
Now the rumors outside are boiling, and it looks like something is going on, that is, Rex is confusing the lord of Talon County and telling him to let down his vigilance so that he can kill suddenly.
So big, the mage is coming, Rex glanced at the big, mage, with the strength of the big, mage, let a legion pass through the guò portal, which requires the cooperation of a large number of mages, and no matter how much it is impossible, so this time the battle is a fast word.
All the rhythm must be fast, so fast that the other party can't react, so that they can make a contribution in one fell swoop, otherwise if Talonjun reacts, it is impossible to win it with just one legion.
The population of 200,000 in Dalong County, before the outbreak of the undead natural disaster, all the soldiers in Dalong County were only more than 1,000, at most 2,000, but because of the outbreak of the undead natural disaster later, Dalong County wanted to protect itself and began to recruit soldiers on a large scale, causing the soldiers to increase dramatically in a short period of time, and finally reached 10,000 people one after another, this considerable number, after offending the Kingdom of Gilneth in Dalong County.
When the lord of Daron County wanted to rebel against the Kingdom of Gilneis, he carried out another expansion of the army, and this time directly made the soldiers of Talon County reach an even more terrifying number, more than 20,000 people.
So many men and horses, but occupy one-tenth of Dalong County, if you calculate it, this probability looks terrifying, but if you really calculate, the Kingdom of Gilneth is not much better, more than 2 million people, with an army of 200,000.
But don't forget one point, that is, the army of the Kingdom of Gilneis, most of them have received gifts from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and most of them are soldiers of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which is not recruited by the Kingdom of Gilneth itself, and the difference here in Daron County is that all of them are people gathered by the Lord of Daron County himself.
So more than 20,000 people are already a lot, and there is a point that must be considered here, I am the economic situation of Talon County, Dalon County is just a puppet land, such a big place, the Kingdom of Gilneth has too much, such as the old land of the Kingdom of Gilness, how many times more than Dalon County, so that there were more than 30,000 people at the beginning.
In the larger part of Dalong County, it is not easy to feed 200,000 people, including more than 20,000 troops.
This has caused the people here in Talonshire to live a very hard life.
The lord of Talon County mainly maintains the army, and in order to maintain the army, it is necessary to ask for gold coins, and where does this gold coin come from, it is not to be looted from the civilians of this Talon County,
In this way, Dalong County barely persisted, but sooner or later it would not be able to hold on, it was already a matter of time.
With a few thousand people, deal with more than 20,000 people, if you can't fight quickly and end the battle when the other party doesn't react, then the next thing you will fall into is a bitter battle, and this time the plan of action will be useless, and in the end it can only be a large army to conquer, work and move the people, and delay time, this is not what Lexa wants to see, nor is it the result that anyone in the Kingdom of Gilneth wants to see,
So this time Rex takes Ulysses very seriously. (To be continued......)
