Chapter 617: The Beginning of Take-off (13) Defeated and Captured
Gechi, part of the Sib province of Siber, is located north of Urdoch.
There are three official roads in Gechi, one leading directly to the northernmost city of Siber, Love, one going due west until the bay of Batiros, with Dima in the north and Batiros in the south, and the other in the southeast, when it crosses the ancient Urdoch River, it will branch off in Ninaro, and then turn southwest to Urdoch, the capital of Sibber, and due east to Naro.
That's why, at the beginning of the war, after Herls captured Gech and marched south, he could cut off the connection between Naro and Urdoch, because he occupied the fork of Lower Narro, and after the defeat of Narro, Lower Naro was again controlled by Filipino Argon, and of course, when the Northern Coalition forces besieged Hers, they amicably let go of the ferry to allow the invasion.
"What kind of people are our immortal epics?" In one of the ordinary churches of Gucci, after Mass on Sunday, a young son of a citizen curiously asked the priest that the boy, who had never been out of Gechi, knew nothing about the outside world.
The old priest narrowed his eyes, remembered what his superiors had given him, and after a moment, replied in the affirmative: "His name is Huls, and we call him 'Mad Huls', because he is a tyrant who is hot-tempered and does not listen to advice! ”
"If this 'madman' is such a terrible tyrant, why would my god make him an immortal epic!" another citizen asked, judging by the red eyes of his family, who must have died in the war.
The old priest said in his magnetic voice:
"The will of the gods is unpredictable, how can we understand it? Alas, this 'madman' has the power of his immortal epic, ignoring the persuasions of those nobles with high morals, and executing several nobles who refuse to obey his fate.
"What's even more infuriating is that in addition to the 'madman' who keeps persuading and underestimating the enemy, he also does not hesitate to sell our property in order to defeat the Philippine argon, everyone knows those greedy Ruiying tax collectors, right?
As soon as this sentence came out, the citizens immediately discussed, if the Naluo fiasco was too far away from them, then the Ruiying tax collectors were very close to them, and the proximity was terrifying.
Most citizens still remember that when they were ecstatic to drive out the Philippine argon colonists, those wolf-like Swiss tax collectors broke into one mine and lumber mill after another, occupied one pass after another, plundered local resources with destructive development, and Sydneysiders had to pay taxes to those hateful Swiss tax collectors at every pass and ferry.
There was a timber merchant in the crowd, and he used his own experience to denounce the nonsense of the Ruiying tax collectors: "Everyone knows that we have to have a reverence for the mountains when we rely on the mountains to eat, right? We can't cut all the wood, otherwise what will we do in the coming year? But the group of Ruiying tax collectors don't care about this, they can cut as much as they can, until they can't hold it anymore." ”
"They're not from here, so of course they don't have to worry about what happens here in the future," the other snorted coldly, "Don't talk about timber, it's the same with our mines!" "It's the same with our hunting grounds!"
The voice became louder and louder, all of which were angry at the Ruiying tax collector, and the priest put away his smug smile and told the believers in words of grief: "But even so, those people are brought by the 'madmen', and we have no other way but to endure them, and the city will soon go to the aid of the 'madman' to prevent him from being attacked by the Orientals." ”
"Why!" "Why!" The believers present were soon filled with insults and anger at the "madman" Huls, and the priest who was grieving on the surface was extremely happy in his heart, until the roar silenced the scolding of the church.
When the inquirer told him about the situation outside, the priest's face suddenly turned pale: "Why did Fei Argon come to beat us? Shouldn't we kill the 'madman' Huls first?"
In the summer of 2340 A.D., the generalissimo of the Filipino war against the Siber launched a counteroffensive against the Siber.
Pichem's counteroffensive could not be concealed from anyone, so Hulse knew the news for a long time and began to raise men to prepare for defense, while the three cities to the north were happily watching the play, and Gucci and Love even asked the priests to incite hatred against Hulse in order to openly refuse to support Huls.
As a result, Pichem came, but instead of fighting Huls, he went north to attack Geqi, this news immediately made everyone sit on wax, isn't Pichem afraid that Huls will capture Naro from the rear, and copy Pihem's back road to make him a lone army?
Although I don't know what Pichem thinks, since there is such a good opportunity, Huls naturally can't let it go, so he ordered his troops and horses and pulled up Fu Didong's army in the south, and killed Xia Naluo with a fierce momentum.
After some fighting, Ninaro fell, and Huls cut off Pichem's back route, and then prepared to advance along Pihim's northward route, flanking Pichem's Filipino-argon army with Gechi's nobles.
As a result, when Hulse recovered the city that originally belonged to Filipino, it was rejected and attacked by the locals, and the city was full of calls for "madmen get out" and "disaster stars get out", and most of the nobles hid from Huls.
You can't be angry because of anger, this ancient saying in the god world Hulse has naturally heard it, but it's one thing to talk about soldiers on paper, and it's another thing to actually operate it, and he doesn't care about Geqi's old hatred for participating in the coalition crusade against him 1 year ago to help them, but instead they return this gang to themselves?
So Hulse was furious, furious, and plundered the whole city, and then stopped caring about the northern expedition of Pehem, and after occupying the dangerous pass, he withdrew his army on his own.
There is no logistical support from Naro, but Pichem is not worried, because the autumn harvest is imminent, he can completely feed the war with war, as for what the locals will eat after the autumn grain is eaten by his own army, this is not what Pichem cares about.
So in the next six months, Pichem swept through the three cities of Gechi, Dima, and Love, completely recovered the northern province of Siber, and carried out a massacre here, completely changing the nobles with a wave of blood, and countless nobles who were originally illegitimate and collateral were willing to cooperate with Pichem, and as a result, they replaced the orthodox and legitimate nobles and became the new local rulers.
"Phew, in this way, the north will be as quiet as it has been after the 'First Siber War' for decades," looking at the burning fields and the screams that came from time to time, Pichem stroked his beard and smiled, "but I remember that the 'madmen', well, this kind of nickname is apt for their own people, and the Octavian family of madmen rose to become one of the nobles of Dima during the purge of Siber's founding at the beginning of the country. ”
"But in this case, can these nobles still be called nobles?" asked the adjutant of Pehem, frowning, "Wouldn't it be too ...... that many citizens who donated money could become nobles?"
"Ha, a vassal state should have the appearance of a vassal state, and a dilapidated country like Sibo is suitable for such dilapidated nobles. ”
"In addition, that Hulse is really not worthy of being a general, and he deliberately did not come to the rescue of Geqi because of his personal anger, so now that the overall situation of the war has been decided, Huls can't make much waves," looking at the south where Huls is located, Pichem showed a confident smile.
I have to say that the reaction of the Ruiying tax collectors is quite sensitive, perhaps they have long seen that the small regime of Hulse is not long-lived, so after obtaining the mining rights, the resources in various places are destructively exploited, roughly how much can be fished before the Philippine argon recovers the local area, and now as soon as the northern province is recovered, these birdmen will blow up the tools and run away like the wind.
In the spring of 2341 A.D., Pichem led his army south, and after a less fierce battle, he recaptured Shinara and opened up the passage with the country.
After several failed battles, Hulse reluctantly withdrew his army back to Uldoc, seemingly ready for a final struggle with the strong walls of Uldoc.
However, Pichem besieged Urdoch but did not attack, and sent an army to continue southward to attack Fu Didong and Uchichencha in South Province, and only 3 months later, these two cities were also captured by Pichem, so less than 1 year after Pichem sent his army, Siber was left with only Uldoche still under the control of Hers.
Then came the long siege of the city, and Pichem bombarded Urdoc not fiercely but every day, spring went to autumn, summer went to spring, and in the blink of an eye, it was 2342 years, and Urdoc, which had been surrounded for more than 1 year, had come to the end of the road.
So the nobles rebelled, accepted Pechem's harsh conditions, braved the counterattack of the Huls guards and opened the city gates, and knelt to meet the invasion of the king of Behemom.
At this time, Hulse found that his fellow travelers were so few, those who admired him the most either died under the city of Naro, or died in defeats, large and small, the local nobles had joined the most, and the rebellion was the fastest and most rapid, and now there are only a few people who are willing to hold on to Urdoch.
"Your Majesty, you always say that our organization is a lackey supported by the Ruiying people, and today I will prove with our blood that we are not lackeys," said Peraouya, who was still by Hulse's side, with a smile, her voice still the same, but her appearance had long since aged.
At present, there are only a few members of the "Sydney Unification Organization" who are still by Huls's side, only a few "Hulse factions", a few "true Sydneysider factions" and "Siber factions", and as for the "Ruiying faction" and local nobles, they have long since gone completely, and many have even defected.
In fact, the "true Sydneysiders" and "Sibers" who remained were rarely of the same mind as Hulse, and many people came here to spit on Hulse before the decisive battle: "The great cause of Sydney's reunification has fallen into today's situation, and it is all the ghost of you, a tyrant who does not know how to fight." ”
"Then why don't you get out!" scolded a young nobleman of the "Hulsees."
"Because we believe in the philosophy of this organization," was the answer of the nobles who hated Huls.
The nobles of the "Hulse faction" wanted to speak again, but were stopped by Huls: "I don't know how to fight, yes, I really don't know how to fight." ”
The final battle broke out in the royal palace, from day to night, from night to day, day and night, night and night, and the comrades around him fell one after another, whether they were Huls's supporters or those who hated Huls, even Huls's leader Pelaouya fell, and slowly, Huls was left alone.
The last burst of spiritual power bombardment from the mage phalanx blew through Huls's spiritual power shield, and Huls flew out like this, completely unconscious.
