Chapter 830: Luring the Wolf into the House
La Cassia.
This is a major city in the northwest, which was originally the capital of the hundred tribes, and was later occupied by the empire.
It is backed by an extension of the Kareni Mountains, with the Jialan Mountains to the west.
The northwest city of Lacazia can resist the old kingdom to the north, deter the west to the west, and sit in the northwest to deter a number of vassal small states.
To be exact.
Now the city was the first line of defense in the northwest of the empire.
As long as the city is in control, the northwest can be safe, so if you want to invade the empire, it is a difficult hurdle to overcome.
Add to that the complex terrain of La Casia.
As a result, Haussmann never thought about using the northwest as a breakthrough from the beginning, because it would be too difficult.
Generally speaking.
The correct attack posture of the city should be to take the central region of the empire, and then turn from the central part to the northwest, and only attacking from the inside is the most correct choice.
So Lacazia is absolutely safe.
As a result, the Imperial Army has not paid attention to the northwest until now.
Because if you think about it with common sense, you will know that there are so many offensive positions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, why bother to choose a hellish difficulty attack point, this kind of thankless thing will not be done as long as a general is a general.
But what the empire didn't expect was that they had a mole.
The rebellion of the tribes had long been suppressed by the Empire, and their subjects were included in the ranks of third-class citizens, and not only were they driven out of the city of Lacazia, but they also had to pay a large amount of taxes to the Empire every year, which amounted to 50 to 70 percent of the total revenue, which basically kept them as livestock.
North of La Cassia.
That is the current field of activity of the Hundred Tribes.
They relied on grazing, foresting, and farming, and rebuilt a city, electing a co-ruler to lead them, the Grand Patriarch Meru Scimitar.
However, the size of the city was a concern, as the empire did not allow them to build medium-sized cities, and each clan was not allowed to have more than 3,000 troops, and the co-owners had to report to the city of Lacazia every month......
The empire uses countless means to oppress the tribes of the hundreds.
Obviously, this is an example to the monkeys.
Only the more ruthlessly the hundred tribes are oppressed, the more the other vassal forces will not dare to make mistakes.
At the same time, the empire also used this behavior of bullying the hundred tribes to increase the national pride and superiority of the common people of the empire, making them more united, and stabilizing the turbulent situation in the northwest at once.
After all, Meru Scimitar's actions were too much for Meru Scimitar to bear.
And today, it is the day of revenge and the rise of the hundred tribes.
With a cruel look in his eyes, he looked at the slowly opening gates of Lacassia.
Crunch squeak –
The drawbridge over the moat was lowered, the city gates were opened, and the imperial soldiers on the tower looked condescendingly at the ranks of the hundred tribes.
"This year it's finally time for these livestock to pay tribute again. ”
"It's this time of year that I can't wait. ”
"The commander-in-chief will probably issue an order to reward the three armies, hahaha. ”
"Tonight, everyone will not get drunk and will not return!"
“......”
A group of soldiers mocked the transport convoy of the Hundred Tribes while looking forward to the next show.
Every year, the tribes of the hundred tribes pay a large tribute, and the city of La Casia receives the income, and at this time, every soldier of the army can receive a 'subsidy', and the night will be celebrated as if it were the feast of the gods.
Therefore, for soldiers, today is the most anticipated thing every year.
The same is true of the officers.
The soldiers drank soup, and they ate meat.
Therefore, just looking down from the castle tower, this convoy that stretches for no end makes the officers salivate.
These carriages wrapped in oilcloth are full of precious things.
"Stop!"
The officer stepped forward and looked at Meru and his son Dill with disdain: "You are the great patriarch May...... What is May?"
"Report to your lord, it's Meru Machete. Meru said in a low voice.
"I don't care what kind of Meru Messi you are. ”
The officer walked up to the first carriage, looked up and down, and said, "There is nothing in this carriage that is not allowed in the city, is it? ”
Dill Scimitar subconsciously tightened the staff in his hand, and a nervous expression already appeared on his face.
"Father's ......"
He whispered.
But Meru ignored him, but stepped forward flatteringly, and handed a large bag of gold coins into the officer's hand: "What did the lord say, how could we do such a thing, if you don't believe me, let them lift the tarpaulin, open the box for you to check." ”
"Hahaha, forgive me for not daring, there is no need for inspection, we don't have this idle time. ”
The officer left satisfied, and at the same time ordered to be released.
Meru thanked him repeatedly, then led the team into the city, all the way to the barracks.
Traditionally, these things have been handed over by military logistics and then passed on to the government the next day, so the destination of the trip is the military station, not the government.
The handover was very smooth.
As is customary, the army would clear a clearing of land for the tribes to unload their goods and then expel them from the city.
It can be said that the empire not only wants the things of the hundred tribes, but also uses them as free coolies.
This unloading was unloaded into the evening.
And in the evening, the commander-in-chief really ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the army fell into a carnival from top to bottom.
This side is doing cattle and horses.
It's over there.
The people of the Hundred Tribes can only endure this silently every year.
The purpose of the military in doing this is, of course, to further stimulate the tribes of the Hundred Tribes, and at the same time increase the pride and cohesion of the soldiers, so that they can feel the superiority of the imperial camp.
The carnival came in the second half of the night.
At two o'clock in the morning, the army began to fall silent, and even the soldiers on duty were staggering.
Meru Scimitar smiled when he saw this.
He ordered his subordinates to pull down the tarpaulin that was wrapped in supplies, and it turned out that the tarpaulin was not wrapped in small boxes, but a huge box with a height of a person. They tapped the box a few times, and large living people jumped out of the box one by one.
Obviously, these are all soldiers of the Hundred Tribes.
With the addition of the 3,000 people transporting the convoy, the Hundred Tribes had gathered more than 8,000 soldiers at this time.
On the orders of Meru Machete.
Some of the soldiers went to the city gates to capture them and cover the main force into the city, another team went to the air port to destroy the Empire's war airships so that the Jialan Empire's air force could gain air supremacy, and the last team was responsible for setting fire and executing decapitation tactics, the main purpose of which was to paralyze the chain of command and plunge the city into chaos, the more chaotic the situation would be for them.
Three-pronged.
The Imperial Army was afraid that it never thought that this time it was completely a wolf into the house, and as jackals, they would become lambs instead.
It's not just the defenders here who are defenseless.
Vega's target, the City of War, was likewise unprepared.
