Chapter 38: Imperial War (9)
On May 26, 1674, Gran Sart VI of the Baoli Empire had just ascended to the throne. Later, the Siberian Empire, a strong military rival, supported the king of Dieshiga and the surrounding countries to form a coalition of Kadong to oppose the rule of the Baoli Empire. Siberia was located northeast of the Westland Plain, and Guidome was the gateway between Baoli and the Siberian Empire. At this time, the Canadian coalition army preemptively occupied Guidomé and clamped down on Baoli's "military throat", and the Siberian Empire tried to take this opportunity to defeat Baoli and become the overlord of the western region.
Compared to kings who have been in power for more than ten years or even decades in other empires, Gran Sarth VI is very young, and he is in desperate need of a victory to prove his ability to convince the people. At this time, the king of Dieshika in the east organized a multinational military force, formed a powerful anti-Baoli alliance, and occupied the military stronghold of Guidome, which was a great challenge to the status and ability of Gransar VI, and it was also a good opportunity to prove himself.
On July 5, 1674, Gran Sart VI personally led an army to attack the city of Guitome, and Gran Sart VI not only relied on this battle to win the respect and affirmation of the people, but also to recapture Guitome in order to prevent the Siberian Empire from using it to invade Baoli, so as to avoid the disaster of the entire Baoli facing the destruction of the country. This was Gransart VI's first expedition, and he could not afford to be slack and sloppy. He was to first lead his army to Baoli's stronghold in the land of Kadon, which was quite small. It was a safe journey, and the army set out from the border of Baoli and took seven days to reach Ta Chi by the road near the sea in Sasimmer. After that, they entered enemy territory and had to slow down and march carefully for 10 days before reaching the outside of the city of Eile, ready to attack Guidome.
A key point in the capture of Guidomey was the Meki Mountains, which served as a natural barrier, and Guidomey was just three kilometers behind the mountains. There are three routes to pass through the Meki Mountains, of which the Morgan Pass is the most recent, but it is located in the middle of the mountain range, which is extremely narrow, and can only pass through one man and one horse, forming a situation of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open", which is neither conducive to attacking nor protecting one's own security. The other two routes, on the east and west sides of the mountain range, the Ear City Route and the Donkira City Route, are long distances but open terrain. Baoli's generals believed that although these two routes would take more time, they would ensure a safe march, so they all advised the main army to march from these two routes.
However, time is the key to victory in the war. Their army had gone through a long march of nearly 20 days, which had put the army at a disadvantage, and the soldiers had not much effective combat strength left after the army had climbed the high mountains.
Grant Sarth VI decided to send spies to check the disposition of the enemy forces.
On the other side, the commanders of the Gadon army were divided, and some people thought the same as General Baoli, who also believed that the Baoli army would not risk taking the Dongkira Pass, so they advocated hoarding a large number of troops at the exit of the passage on the northeast side of the Meki Mountains, and they would be annihilated in one fell swoop. Others believe that the Baoli army may take the risk and take them by surprise through the Donkira Pass.
Later, the Kadong lord chose to listen to the opinion of the majority and sent the main force to ambush near the Meki Mountains.
After receiving the information, Gran Satt VI had General Dogan lead a detachment to the city of Monmu in the west of Guidomé. This was because the main force of the Canadian coalition was located in the north, while the city of Monmu in the west was stationed part of the military force of Baoli. When General Dogan led his army to capture Monm, the main army of Gran Sart VI would attack the Kaldon coalition from the north, and the reinforcements at Monmu could give the main army a strong support. This strategy and layout can increase Baoli's odds of winning the war.
The Baoli army spent the whole day climbing over the Meki Mountains, and then the next night they crossed the Donkira Pass in the dark, and the Gadon coalition forces paid attention to both sides of the Meki Mountains, not noticing them quietly advancing. After the Baoli Vanguard eliminated a force under the command of the Baoli Society, which had been stationed at the Donkira Pass from the Dongkira Offensive Opinion, the large army passed through the Dongkira Pass without any problems.
The commander, who had become a prisoner of the Bowley, was disappointed by the short-sighted multinational coalition and was made a pioneer by Gransart VI after he pledged his allegiance to the Bowley Empire.
By the time the Gadon coalition had hastily withdrawn their forces from both sides of the Meki Mountains, the Baoli army had already rested for a day.
One side was full of morale and high spirits, the other fled in a hurry, exhausted, and the outcome of the war was obvious.
After Gran Sart VI's victory, he replaced the kings with a number of nobles loyal to Baoli, and gave them some autonomy; He also supported these nobles in sending their sons to Baoli to be educated and learn about Baoli culture.
When the fierce fighting in the western region reached Dong Dongdong's ears, he was working as a refugee in the country of Luce, thousands of kilometers away from Roman Limore.
Luce is a small subsidiary of the Roman Limo Empire, because it is located in the former East Vela is now the Hull and Roman Limo cargo transportation fortress, so most of the people in Luce are rich, and Dong Dongdong, who has been hungry for more than ten days, can finally eat a full meal here.
After leaving Athos, Dong Dongdong parted ways with Add's caravan, and Add's and the others were to cross the Kronos Sea to go to Kachel to buy goods, and then sell them to the nobles of another wealthy empire.
- Cashel's delicate clothing and accessories were highly sought after by the nobility of other places.
Dong Dongdong still had some travel expenses from Eddie at the beginning, but later he was robbed by the Diao people inside when he passed through a mountainous area, if it wasn't for his wit, it is estimated that he would have been thrown away by the group of Diao people at this time.
There are always people who want to harm me.
Dong Dongdong devoured the bread issued by Lu Si's kind and rich man, and was almost choked to death because of dryness, if it wasn't for an old man next to him who gave him a bowl of water, he would have been able to meet the gods that the aborigines said with a roll of his eyes.
"Hungry, aren't you?" The old man patted Dong Dongdong on the back, "Look like you, you don't look like people from our side, you are from the west, right?" ”
Dong Dongdong's clothes were bought in Atos, Atos people from all over the world are mixed, and the clothes are also mixed, he only wants comfort when he buys them, and after a long journey, the clothes are dirty and can't see the color, and he can only distinguish its exotic style. It's normal for the old man to think he's a refugee from somewhere else.
"Thank you, I'm from Roman-Limo," Dong Dongdong swallowed his food with difficulty, "I went to visit my relatives in Vela before, and then I fled all the way back when there was a war." ”
The old man looked at the scar on Dong Dongdong's face and sighed, "Good boy has worked hard, when you get to Luce, you can eat a good meal and sleep peacefully, and you will be home in a few days." ”
