248, 249 Empire, Iron Age

Gulaman looked closely at the Malaysian generals, but none of them expressed their words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "There are so many generals of my Malaysian coalition army, is there no one who is willing to intercept the expeditionary force?" Watching them advance to the foot of the royal city? So isn't our hard work for half a month in vain? Say, who goes? ”

One of the Malaysian player generals muttered in a low voice, "Gulaman, you have the strongest and most soldiers, why don't you go yourself?" I knew that I let others go to death, and I didn't see anything from your troops! ”

Gulaman's eyes widened suddenly, glaring at the player general who said that. The player general shrank his head and slipped into the crowd.

He slapped the table and said loudly: "West of the city and east of the city, each transfer 100,000 troops to the north of the city, block the vacancies in the north of the city, and prevent them from merging with the royal city of Brunei." The rest of the troops will completely encircle the expeditionary force from the flanks and rear wings, and we must completely eliminate the expeditionary force at any cost, otherwise this expeditionary force will bring us a huge threat for a long time! Become the blade of our hearts. ”

After the expeditionary force gained a foothold on the coast of Brunei, the Philippine troops, who had been using guerrilla tactics, saw that the situation was greatly favorable, and began to carry out large-scale climbing6, dispatching tens of thousands of troops to follow the expeditionary force ashore.

Filipino players are no less motivated to rescue the Kingdom of Brunei than the expeditionary fleet, not that they have a good opinion of Brunei, but they are very happy to cause some trouble for Malaysian players and get into trouble.

The 100,000 corps of the expeditionary force quickly advanced towards the royal city of Brunei. The Philippine troops, on the other hand, were responsible for carrying food - the royal city of Brunei was besieged for half a month, and the most scarce thing was food supplies and military supplies.

Their progress was very fast, and they had completed half of the three-kilometer journey, and they could already see the head of the royal city of Brunei.

At this time, the Malaysian coalition forces, under the high pressure of Gulaman, had to move and intercept them. Although they were somewhat reluctant to command the Gulaman land, and some were in awe of the expeditionary force. But they still began to encircle the expeditionary force. Because they are not willing to give up the victory that is about to come.

Millions of troops, crammed into less than ten kilometers of territory. It's a bit crowded. But there is no way, there is such a large territory around the royal city of Brunei, more than ten kilometers, surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is easy to be squeezed into the sea. There's no depth to speak of. It is also difficult to wield any highland tactics, only one sentence - fighting in the alley depends on who is more fierce, and if it is not fierce enough, it will be over.

The expeditionary force Deng 6 unit is only 100,000, but it is definitely a fierce and abnormal army, fighting bayonets, defense, and long-range lethality, and they do not take Malaysia's 780,000 troops in their eyes at all. What if there are many troops, the strength of the two armies in contact with each other is roughly the same. Excess forces are not able to wield enough combat strength in such a small terrain.

Before reaching the foot of the royal city, the expeditionary force encountered a Malaysian army that had hurried to the north of the city.

"Kill!"

Without any hesitation or hesitation, the first contact is a bloody battle between you and me. Draw the blade, pick up the shield, reach the bow and arrows, and the army of more than 100,000 slammed together.

Since it is dawn, it is completely clear how the two armies are fighting. Unlike last night, when the fight was confusing, most of the Expeditionary Force players and Malaysian players couldn't even see how they won and lost.

The mode of operation of the two armies is very different.

The expeditionary corps was extremely well organized. The 100,000 legions are divided into a triangular "pin" character charge array, and each big "mouth" is divided into three "pin" character 10,000 arrays. Each 10,000-man legion is about 100 meters apart. The middle of the 10,000-strong legion is the Shuai Qi. It was a regular infantry corps that advanced - forward, tied up, shot arrows, cleared the enemy, and moved on. Repeat the above process. The whole process is close and orderly. Maintain coordination between clans.

Looking at the Malaysian player troops in front, nearly 200,000 troops were crowded together in an orderly manner. Each army was led by their own leader. There are dozens of people at least and tens of thousands at most, and they are not uniform. The worst part is that these 200,000 troops are actually commanded by dozens of Malaysian player generals, not one general. When the charge began, the 200,000 troops spread their thighs almost at the same time, shouting, brandishing the stone spears and wooden spears in their hands, and rushed forward overwhelmingly.

This kind of casual impact makes the players of the expeditionary fleet almost have the illusion that they are fighting against the barbarians of primitive society. Players of the Expeditionary Force seem to understand why so many Malaysian soldiers died last night. This kind of disorderly and wild impact can take down the opponent in one go when it goes well, but it is easy to wipe out the whole army when it fails.

Simply put, it's a rabble! A promiscuous and undisciplined group of armies, used to describe the opponent in front of them, is definitely discriminatory, but an accurate description.

The armies of the two sides were separated by several hundred meters.

The commanders of the expeditionary force shouted loudly: "The whole army stops advancing, line up ahead, and hold your foot!" Archers in the rear shoot arrows and aim for a maximum range of 50 paces ahead! The shield hand, half-kneeling, stabbed the ground. Halberds and pikemen erect a gun formation, with the spear heads facing outwards in unison, and do not leave gaps! "Archer volley, 45 degrees, ready!"

Rumble!

The armies of the two sides collided, and the Malaysian troops, with 200,000 men, attacked the 100,000 legions of the expeditionary force.

It was like the wind and waves on the seashore crashing against a boulder, and the waves crashed against the rocks, making an earth-shattering sound. But when the waves receded, the boulder remained unmoved, without any damage.

Although Malaysia has many troops, it cannot shake the 10,000-strong troops of the expeditionary force. A salvo. 100,000 arrows densely covered the Malaysian stormtroopers like a torrential rain, forcing the stormtroopers to a halt, causing tens of thousands of Malaysian NPCs to lose more than half of their blood. Continuing to charge, what awaited them was a dense array of guns, and tens of thousands of soldiers were pierced through the dense array of guns. The first round of impact has not been able to cause losses to the other party, and it has already lost nearly 10,000 soldiers.

The follow-up attack made the Malaysian players feel a chill in their hearts, and they almost wanted to turn around and flee.

The 10,000-strong corps of the expeditionary force was completely motionless. Rooted in the ground, it is still wantonly impacted by the other party.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from Malaysia rushed to the front of the big formation. Desperate sting. But stone tools can't pierce bronze shields, nor can they pierce bronze armor. Before the bronze shield could be pierced, their stone spears had already cracked. They were blocked out of the 10,000-strong corps, and they couldn't rush into the inside of the big formation at all. If only that's fine, but don't forget about the bronze archers of the expeditionary force. NPC archers are constantly firing volleys.

The overwhelming array of bronze arrows made the Malaysian soldiers outside the large array feel like they were staying at the mouth of a shark, and with three or two efforts, thousands of soldiers were killed in the volley. Wherever the arrow is pointed, the soldiers die faster than they cut straw. The peasants cut the straw in bundles and bunches, and they cut the soldiers in patches.

Some of the Malaysian troops, pretending to be smart, ran into the middle of the gap between the 10,000-strong regiments of the expeditionary force. I want to divide these 100,000 legions and destroy them one by one. But they don't know that these gaps are intentionally left behind. Units that run between the player's legions die faster, and are attacked by double-covered arrows in these gaps.

In less than tens of minutes, none of the 100,000-strong regiments of the expeditionary force were broken through. And Malaysia's 200,000-strong army has been slaughtered in pieces, dead and wounded. There are less than 100,000 left.

Finally, some Malaysian players couldn't take it anymore, yelled, and fled back with their NPC troops. It's gone, %¥¥##. It's like fighting a bunch of war machines.

After one Malaysian player started to flee, soon the other players around him saw that the situation was not good and also began to flee, and the remnants of the 100,000 or so Malaysian troops quickly collapsed and retreated frantically in the commotion.

The leaders of the remaining 600,000 Malaysian player troops looked at each other when they learned of the collapse of the interception force. Stop moving forward immediately. so as not to be scattered by the collapsed army. It's horrible. Why is the combat effectiveness of this expeditionary force so strong.

The expeditionary force easily routed the Malaysian interception force and quickly advanced to the northern foot of the royal city of Brunei, a few miles away. The entire royal city of Brunei erupted in incomparably enthusiastic cheers. The Expeditionary Force won and the player troops in Brunei joined forces, and from this moment on, they were no longer besieged and no longer fought independently.

Brunei's player leaders ran to the north of the city and opened the city gates to welcome the expeditionary force. They witnessed the one in the city, and the shock was even worse than that of the Malaysian players. They have always thought that the Malaysian troops are very strong and cannot hold the troops of Brunei Darussalam up. They were even worried that the expeditionary force would not be gnawed by Malaysia's million-strong army, and there would be no bones left.

But seeing the battle between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Malaysian troops just now, it was simply a dreamlike war. Bright military flags, uniform movements, rumbling footsteps, disciplined bronze infantry battle methods, iron camps, and storm-covered arrow attacks. So much so that in their eyes, the Malaysian troops, which have always been extremely powerful, actually seem as fragile as white rabbits, and they are defeated so neatly and neatly.

Brunei's players seem to understand a little bit about why ancient China was so powerful. A nation that has been able to dominate the Central 6 of Asia for thousands of years, even today, thousands of years later, its quality can be vividly reflected in an inadvertent moment.

They opened the north gate wide and welcomed Chinese players into the city.

The 100,000 regiments of the expeditionary force did not enter the city, but camped in the north of the city, and the Malaysian troops were no longer visible in the entire north of the city. Only tens of thousands of troops from the Philippines are coming excitedly after seeing the great victory of the expeditionary force and the retreat of Malaysian troops. They brought a large amount of food and other supplies to alleviate the food crisis in the royal city of Brunei.

The territorial water lord of the expeditionary force invited representatives of Brunei and the Philippines. Discuss a counterattack against the Malaysian forces and drive them out of Brunei.

Malaysia still has more than 600,000 troops in the east, west and south directions of the city, and even retreated several miles to ensure safety. The coalition leaders were arguing fiercely about whether to continue the siege or to continue attacking the expeditionary force.

The Malaysian players are worried about which battle they lost last night, but they can see the battle this morning clearly, and it is almost impossible for them to launch a suicidal attack on the expeditionary force. The northern part of the city, which continues to besiege the city, has been occupied by the expeditionary force. Brunei's player troops are now not short of food, soldiers, or supplies, is it still interesting to be surrounded by this city?

Gulaman saw with his own eyes how the 200,000-strong army collapsed. The morale of the entire army was low and the morale of the army was shaken.

He knew that there was no hope of victory in this situation, and he couldn't help but sigh: "With the protection of the Chinese expeditionary force, the Kingdom of Brunei cannot be destroyed." The mission to conquer Brunei failed. If we don't want to continue fighting the expeditionary force, the only way now is to find a step down and fight for a decent end to this war. Let's negotiate with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, what do you think? ”

The generals nodded silently.

The Malaysian coalition sent a delegation of dozens of players to the north of the city to negotiate with the Chinese expeditionary leader.

The Expeditionary Force's Territorial Lords were discussing with the Brunei Territory and the Philippine Players on how to continue to march on the Army, and learned that the Malaysian players were coming to negotiate and negotiate. Somewhat surprised. I didn't expect Malaysia's troops to take the initiative to ask for peace so quickly.

But it's good that we can solve Brunei's problems as soon as possible, which is the best thing.

Representatives of the Expeditionary Force, Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines, as well as representatives from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar, participated in the negotiations and negotiations. However, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma, although they sent troops, did not contribute much to the war, and they only attended the peace negotiations in name only, and did not participate in the negotiations in substance.

The representative of Malaysia made a bid code: half of the territory was returned to the Kingdom of Brunei. Half of the territory went to Malaysia, and then the two sides ended the war with a truce. After all, it is not easy for them to fight a battle, and they must always get some benefits.

Brunei's representatives were furious and demanded that all territories be returned to Brunei, otherwise the war would continue. Players in Brunei will not give in. Fight until the last soldier.

The representative of Malaysia was dismissive. How many soldiers is there in Brunei, if it weren't for the Chinese expeditionary force. It won't be long before Brunei will destroy the country, and if you talk about fighting a single soldier, it is a good result to be able to retain half of the territory now.

Representatives of the expeditionary force thought about it for a long time. The emotions of Brunei players need to be taken care of. But the mood of the Malaysian side also needs to be taken care of. Otherwise, you will tear your face and continue to fight, which is not good. The expeditionary force did not come to restore the territory of Brunei, but only to ensure that the kingdom of Brunei was not destroyed.

The representatives of the expeditionary force and the representatives of Brunei discussed privately, saying: Our army is too small to be supplied to fight for a long time. It is too close to Malaysia, and it is very convenient for Malaysian troops to fight. Temporarily cede the territory of the Kingdom of West Brunei in exchange for the restoration of the strength of the Kingdom of Brunei. When China's follow-up forces come, it's not too late to force Malaysian players to completely withdraw from Brunei's territory. Otherwise, if the fight really continues, the defeat of the expeditionary force will be a trivial matter, and the complete and permanent destruction of Brunei will be a major matter.

Brunei's delegates were stunned for a moment before they reacted. Although they were supported by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Expeditionary Force was too far away from the Chinese mainland, and it was very unfavorable to fight across the sea. After ten days and half a month, it is not certain who wins and who loses.

The Philippine delegates also took the opportunity to cooperate with the expeditionary force and talked about how difficult the war was, how much munitions were consumed, and how difficult it was to supply food. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that it will be over in less than ten days, and Brunei will be destroyed.

Brunei's delegates changed color and finally reluctantly nodded and agreed to cede part of their territory in exchange for a temporary peace. In the future, I will talk about it later, and I can't take care of it so much now.

Only then did the representatives of the expeditionary force formally negotiate with the representatives of Malaysia, and rejected the plan to divide the territory of the Kingdom of Brunei equally, but instead offered a new price: the Kingdom of East Brunei will still belong to Brunei, and the Kingdom of West Brunei will go to Malaysia. Other than that. Both the king of the NPCs in West Brunei and the player troops must move to East Brunei and give up the territory of West Brunei.

The Kingdom of Brunei is divided into two parts by the Kingdom of Sarawak in Malaysia. The Kingdom of Eastern Brunei, where the current expeditionary force is located, has three times the size of Western Brunei. The Kingdom of West Brunei has a small territory, and another royal city is in West Brunei.

Representatives of the expeditionary forces of this program. In fact, the interests of West Brunei were sacrificed to protect the interests of East Brunei. This is also the representative of East Brunei. Reluctantly agreed to this plan for local reasons.

Malaysian representatives continued to try to persuade the expeditionary force to follow the original peace plan for the equal division of Brunei's territory, but the expeditionary force refused. The Malaysian delegates considered it for a long time in private consultations and chose to compromise.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force is in East Brunei and wants to annex East Brunei. It is impossible not to defeat the expeditionary force. But the problem is that they can't defeat the expeditionary force, only the expeditionary force can defeat their territory. But there was no expeditionary force in West Brunei, and it was easy to occupy West Brunei for a long time.

Representatives of players from eight countries officially signed the peace agreement.

1. East Brunei will still belong to the Kingdom of Brunei, and West Brunei will belong to Malaysia. NPC kings and players in West Brunei must travel to East Brunei to be properly accommodated and no problems will be allowed.

2. The Six-Nation Coalition in Asia will no longer interfere in any way with the actions of the Malaysian coalition forces in West Brunei.

As for the Malaysian player leader Gulaman, how to convince their NPC king to accept the peace agreement. That's a very simple thing - there is no other Malaysian army that can support them except for the current Malaysian player coalition; The military campaign of the Malaysian Kingdom of Sarawak to conquer the Kingdom of Brunei was forcibly suspended by the intervention of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

In addition, the Asian coalition forces signed a separate protection agreement with the Kingdom of Brunei. The coalition force led by the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Philippine Army will be stationed in the easternmost bay port of the Kingdom of Brunei for a long time to ensure the security of the Kingdom of Brunei. The maritime security of the Kingdom of Brunei was taken over by the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet. The fishing grounds in Brunei are temporarily organized by the coalition forces to compensate for the losses of the coalition forces.

After the agreement is signed. The Malaysian coalition began a complete withdrawal from the Kingdom of East Brunei and entered the Kingdom of West Brunei. The royal city of the Kingdom of Western Brunei is in ruins, with less than 100,000 NPCs left, unable to continue to compete with the Malaysian army.

A day later, the NPC kings and players of West Brunei were forced to abandon the royal city and move into the kingdom of East Brunei. A large welcome ceremony was held at Dongwang Castle. Welcome to the West Castle Land; After the merger of players from East and West Brunei. There are still nearly 15,000 players and 300,000 players left in Brunei. At the strong request of the water lord of the expeditionary fleet. In the main hall of the royal city, many players and NPC kings are vassals, hand over the king's scepter, and honor the king of Dong as the great king of Quanlai.

The merger of the two princely states of Brunei has led to an interesting phenomenon - the king's scepter in the hands of the king of western Brunei has disappeared and merged with the scepter of the king of eastern Brunei. The Kingdom of Brunei was officially unified, becoming the first country in the Empire to complete the unification process.

Next, the water lord asked the king of Brunei NPC to do a very surprising thing - ascend the throne and proclaim the monarchy of the kingdom of Brunei. When a king has eliminated other princes and unified his country, the king is allowed to become emperor.

It's just that this request is very shocking and incomprehensible, and no one knows why the water lord made such a request.

The NPC king hesitated: "Not that king is qualified to be the emperor, a small country dares to be the emperor, which will cause a lot of trouble!" ”

The water lord is resolute, and the king of Brunei must be the emperor, otherwise he refuses to support Brunei. Or simply change the king of the west to be the emperor.

Current nbsp; After all, being emperor is a pleasant thing for any king, although it will bring a lot of trouble.

On May 25, the King of Brunei was officially proclaimed emperor, and the Kingdom of Brunei was upgraded to the Brunei Empire. Not long after, a player's senior lieutenant of the expeditionary fleet hurriedly came to the ear of the water lord and whispered with irrepressible excitement: "Boss, the three NPC blacksmiths who have joined the Kingdom of Brunei have exceeded 1% of their iron-making skills!" In addition, I asked them to teach the other seventeen blacksmiths who did not join the Kingdom of Brunei, and they also managed to break through 1%. We did it. ”

The water lord was very calm, nodded and said, "Very good, protect them tightly, place them on different warships, and don't leak any rumors." Gradually transport them to Zhanjiang in five batches to ensure that nothing goes wrong. In addition, notify the Dragon Boss to start building an iron smelting furnace and quietly hoard iron ore! Now is a great time to eat iron ore in large quantities at a low price! ”

"Yes!"

The senior lieutenant lowered his voice and nodded excitedly. Then he quickly left Wangcheng, returned to the fleet by the sea, and left on the battleship with 20 NPC blacksmiths in batches, returning to Zhanjiang. After going offline, he not only notified the dragon boss in Zhanjiang, but also informed his henchmen in Zhanjiang that he began to eat a large amount of cheap iron ore.

Because there was no iron-making technology before, the price of iron ore was cheaper than wood. If you buy too early, you will waste money and take up space. If you buy it too late, the price will already rise.

But he knew that soon after these NPC craftsmen returned to Zhanjiang, the iron ore would undoubtedly soar all the way. This price difference alone is indispensable to make a lot of money. Only those who are the first to grasp accurate information can reap the benefits.

In the entire expeditionary fleet, only the water lord and his three senior lieutenants, four of whom knew about the secret mission of this trip.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

It has to be said that the Brunei Empire was a very short-lived empire. Shortly after the king was declared emperor, the system announced the news to nations, NPCs, and players around the world. The NPC kings of Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, etc., all over Southeast Asia, were almost all stimulated by the news, and they were strongly dissatisfied and angry.

An empire is a symbol of a country's strength. How dare a small country call itself an empire? Can anyone call the emperor? They themselves are not qualified to be emperors, and someone dares to claim the emperor in front of them, how can this be reasonable!

The kings of the surrounding countries have sent envoys one after another, strongly demanding and ordering Brunei's NPC emperor to abdicate immediately and restore his kingship, otherwise they will send troops to destroy the Brunei Empire. Destroy this audacious emperor.

After receiving the credentials of the King of Sabah of Malaysia, the emperor of Brunei looked at the territorial water of the expeditionary force and asked for advice. After the water lord nodded in acquiescence, he immediately announced his abdication.

In just one day, the short-lived Brunei Empire disappeared and the emperor regained his status as king. At this time, the protest envoys from the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries were still on the road, received the news, and turned back halfway.

The first empire in "Expedition to Empires" appeared quickly and disappeared quickly.
