1650 Horizon (V)
At dawn, the military conference had just ended, and the 200,000 Northwest Army entrenched on the northwest border marched south,
Taking advantage of the night, countless flying falcon flags along the horizon, like mercury into the southwest, 200,000 troops divided into three roads, the first 80,000 central army by the fat man himself, responsible for the integration of more than 100,000 southwest army, along the main line to the southwest capital, along the way to contain the rout, take over the command of the southwest army, suddenly more than 100,000 troops, in order to arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Beware of their riots, the fat man is also so busy that people are on their backs, so the speed is very slow,
The second way is Salon's 50,000 men, advancing to the southwestern capital as fast as possible, advancing as a large army, directly penetrating the back of the Murphy Oone and the Gallic Janissaries who are entangled in the southwestern capital, cutting off the possibility of Murphyoone suddenly returning to the army.
The third route is to be temporarily transferred to the multi-choice to be responsible, this force has the largest number of troops, reaching 100,000 people, mainly the second-line troops advancing along the northwest coast, responsible for taking over the territory, weapons, and personnel of the southwest army on the coastline, and outflanking the southwest capital from the flank after completing the takeover of the coastline.
On June 22, the Northwest Army entered the southwest in a big way, and the news of the fierce slaughter reached the southwest capital.
The two armies who were still facing each other in the southwest capital quickly reacted, the battle of the southwest capital, both sides had casualties, but the real casualties were still civilians, the Murphy army fought for a long time, and as a last resort, Murphy Oone ordered the army to withdraw to Biya in the southwest of the capital, which is the second largest city in the southwest of the capital only inferior to the capital, the terrain is wide, it is a famous grain producing area in the southwest, with a population of 220,000 people, and Murphy Oone is centered on this, entrenched in the southwest and southwest, recruiting southwest infantry, and the strength has risen to 4 people.
And the Praetorian Guard is even more exaggerated, after learning that the Northwest Army has crossed the border,
Stanley Spencer really deserved to be an experienced veteran, and took iron-fisted measures, taking advantage of the large amount of materials and wealth hoarded by Murphy Oone in the capital when half of the capital was burned, seizing the opportunity of Murphy's army to withdraw from the periphery, and expanding outwards in a big way, successively occupying four cities such as Osatou on the periphery, and recruiting young adults from the southwest in several cities. Organized into the so-called Volunteer Army Guard Force, the strength of the army has increased instead of decreasing, exceeding 50,000 people, if it were not for the field combat ability of the Murphy Dragonarmed Cavalry, and did not want to let the northwest pick up a big bargain, Stanley Spencer may have chosen to take the initiative to defeat the threat of the Murphy Army in the southwest.
On July 5, the main force of the 80,000 Central Army led by Fat Man reached the central southwest of Aoshan, which is the last mountain range in the northwestern part of the southwest, and further on. It is the relatively flat terrain of the southwest central region,
The slowly advancing Falcon Army stopped here and began to lay out a defensive line, although there were more than 100,000 troops in the southwest. The land that the Falcon Army can occupy in a short period of time is only the northern part of the southwest region, the central part is firmly controlled by the Praetorian Guard, and the direction to the south is licking the wounds. Murphy Oone, who may launch a counterattack at any time, although the Murphy army is in the twilight, the main heavy cavalry still reaches 15,000 people. And they are all heavy cavalry troops that can fight well, once they enter the terrain of a horse and a flat river, their combat power cannot be underestimated, and because of this, the fat man sent the fierce general Saron for the first time to coerce the Murphy dragon armor cavalry to go north.
At the same time as the Falcon Army arrived, the base camp in Okuyama also welcomed a special guest, a round-faced officer who came straight to the Falcon Army camp and asked the guards to see His Majesty the Falcon.
In the past few days, the guards have long been accustomed to cities all over the southwest to send people to ask for a meeting, 200,000 northwest troops into the southwest, although a little unwilling, but the southwest people also think that the current can save the southwest from the two military disasters, only Vekia Falcon alone, the northwest into the southwest is the general trend, several wars, the southwest is a loss of troops, the southwest city heard the name of the Vekia Falcon and felt frightened, since the army entered the southwest, the southwest city is almost a collective lookout, similar to this to come to see the southwest nobles are endless
Because they had already received an order not to be embarrassed, the guards did not dare to slack off on this round-faced officer, "Please ask Your Excellency's name, and we will also inform Your Majesty." ”
"Don't dare to be. The Lower Officer is Lord Murphy Boone's attendant. I have seen His Majesty in Danfeng Town, and as for now...... "The young officer smiled shyly and handed over a text jiàn, "The lower official is just a messenger. "Murphy's emissary!" the guard immediately made a report, considering the identity of the other party, and in less than five minutes, he hurried back and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Squire." His Majesty agreed to receive him. Please follow me. "It's hard work," the young officer nodded, followed the guards, and walked into a compound. This was originally the official residence of the mayor of the local city, and since the arrival of the base camp, it has become a temporary residence for the fat man, and at the door of the study, which is decorated with a turquoise floor, the officer saw a Vecchia Falcon in civilian clothes reviewing the text.
"You are Burroughs, the emissary of the Murphy Army!" The fat man raised his head and glanced at the Murphy Army officer, who was somewhat similar in size to himself,
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the young officer with a respectful expression
"Come and sit down and talk. The fat man stretched out his hand and made a gesture to sit down, "Don't dare, I'll stand and say!" Burroughs said boldly, "Your Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the southwest, and it is only a matter of time before you occupy the southwest, and my lord specially sent me to make a deal with Your Majesty!"
"Tell me about the deal!" the fat man's face was calm, and his hand tapped lightly on the table.
"My lord is willing to submit to His Majesty, but there is one condition!" Burroughs took a deep breath of cold air, and his voice stopped, "My lord is going to become the first Southwest Governor of His Majesty!"
"Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest, I'm sorry, I don't have the position of Commander-in-Chief here!, and I've already appointed the Governor of the Southwest, so he doesn't have such an opportunity" The fat man smiled disapprovingly, and said, "Murphy Oone, this guy, still refuses to give up."
The fat man's voice stopped, and he continued, "My army stopped moving in the heavy land of Aoshan, just to give him the last chance, the southwest turmoil, Murphy Oboone was killed, and the painstaking southwest capital changed hands, this careerist who hoped to make a difference based on the southwest has been completely cut off, and now Murphy Oone is entrenched in the southern southwest region, and it seems to expand his strength. Waiting for the opportunity, in fact, I believe that Murphy Boone is very clear, without Murphylins, without those right-hand men who died in the Southwest Rebellion, he is now powerless. There are only two paths in front of him, either they will belong to me, or they will be completely destroyed by my army!"
After all, we used to be collaborators" The round-faced Cyrus didn't expect the Vecchia Falcon to be so ruthless, and his face was suddenly red by the fat man's words, and he coughed embarrassedly, "Actually, the adults of my family are not exactly in the Jedi as His Majesty said." If His Majesty doesn't take him in, I'm sure the Gangfei Empire will gladly agree to take in the Lord!"
"Gang Fei?
The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, the other party's words were beyond his expectations, Murphy Oone is now a lost dog, after his refusal, the possibility of investing in Gangfei is very high, the southwest and south are important frontiers, and the southern defense line that the Gauls spent hundreds of years to build, Murphy Oone invested in Gangfei. The border defense line will be completely opened, and once the Congo does not intervene in the southwest again, the southwest will inevitably become a place of chaos, and its idea of relying on the southwest as a logistics base for the army to march into Gaul will be completely defeated.
The fat man hesitated for a moment, and said with a grim face, "Okay, for the sake of being an ally, I can't give him the Southwest Commander." But I could give him other positions, like Commander-in-Chief of the Slavic region, where there was a need for someone who could take people wherever he could. I dare not guarantee that it will be as prosperous as the Southwest, but it will be better than the current situation of Murfeoh Boone!
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Slavic Region!" Silus was a little stunned when he heard this word, and his face became strange, it is undeniable that the Slavic region cannot be compared with the southwest region at all, but the development prospects of the Slavic region are definitely more than the southwest of the four wars, Silus does not know that the Dongting people have entered the Slavic region, thinking that the blockade of the news, there are very few people who know that the Dongting people have entered the Slavic region, not to mention the southwest separated by thousands of miles, in the influence of Burroughs, the Slavic region is still that wild land
"If Murphy Oone is still not satisfied, I can add the heads of all the Praetorian Guards who are now in the southwest capital! If it still doesn't work, then he will go to Gangfei!" The fat man looked cold, just as the stability of the southwest is his weakness, and the Janissaries in the southwest capital are the weakness of Murphy Oone, otherwise, Murphy Oone will not retreat in a hurry, and even the hundreds of thousands of southwest troops have been discarded, anyway, it is necessary to fight, it is better to sell Murphy Oone a favor, otherwise this guy is entrenched in the south, and it is always a big threat
"I will bring these words back to my lordship!In fact, in my personal opinion, there is no need for the two armies to fight in the first place!" Burroughs bowed respectfully,
The last faint rays of the setting sun fell on the green ivy and grape trellises that hung from the garden courtyard, and the lampholders hung from the newly erected white pillars, and a few guards were lightly refueling the oil lamps. The newly built garden is far from the size of the original, except that it is dotted with some precious flowers, several rockeries, and a small pond.
Under the ivy-covered pavilion in front of the pond, Murphyo Boone was sitting peacefully looking at the red burning clouds in the western sky, and the sunset reflected on him, his back seemed so lonely, so lonely, few people thought that this ruthless person who ordered the burning of the southwest capital in the Southwest Rebellion was so calm at the moment
The squire stopped, smiled at Burroughs, and whispered, "Squire, go by yourself." Towards Murphy Oone's back, Burroughs hesitated for a moment before walking over, and before he could walk behind him, Murphy Boone suddenly spoke, "It's Burroughs, right?"
Burroughs was slightly startled, and hurriedly responded, "It's me, my lord, I didn't expect to disturb my adult's contemplation"
"Pondering?hehe, I don't even know what I'm thinking!" Murphy Boone turned his head with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, the red glow shone on his face, and his tone was a little gloomy, "How about going to negotiate? As a soldier. You can't just die like this!
"The lord is too worried" The corner of Burrough's mouth suddenly showed a smug smile, and said softly, "Although the falcon refused to mention it, but after all, he still didn't understand the adult's personality, I just proposed to belong to the Gang Fei's men, and he changed his words, the lord could not become the governor of the southwest, but he became the commander of the Slavic region! Although the expected goal was not achieved, the lord at least retained the last strength, although the Slavic region is barren, but it is a thousand miles of fertile wilderness. Unlike the southwest, which is a land of four wars, there is a high sky and the emperor is far away, and given time, the adults may not be able to become an independent land!
"What you said is true?" Murphy Boone seemed to come to his senses at once, and stood up as soon as he stood up, the melancholy on his face swept away, and the joy of being in a desperate situation spread over his face, "It should be true, at least for now." The reputation of the Vecchia Falcon is very good, and there is no record of repentance!" Burroughs looked solemn and said, "I have asked people to prepare a document, as long as both parties sign it." Let's go" "Yes, everyone should go, this place doesn't belong to us after all!"
Murphy Boone sighed deeply, his tone heavy. His gaze swept over a large hall across the pond, where the tokens of all the Murphy Dragonarmed Cavalry who had died in the Battle of the Southwest hung on four walls. In just one day, 18,000 people were lost, which was an unprecedented defeat for Murphy's Dragoons. It is no wonder that Murphy Boone is so depressed, the Southwest Rebellion has made him experience from peak to trough, from the admiration of everyone to the betrayal of relatives, from a major minister to a rebel general of the empire, in just ten days, a qiē is like a dream.
On July 11, the 100,000 troops led by Murphy completed a detour and approached the southwestern capital from the flank, and at the same time, the Murphy Army and the Falcon Army signed a annexation agreement, and Murphy Boone handed over the defense of the south to Dolple, and only took 15,000 Murphy Dragonarmour cavalry to the north and embarked on a journey to the far northern Slavic region.
On July 14th, the main force of the army led by the fat man personally arrived in the southwest capital and confronted the Praetorian Guards in the city. With 130,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, the army was divided into three camps, left, center, and right, and the capital area was surrounded by water.
News was cut off in the southwest, and the Gallic military judges and tax collectors were expelled from all parts of the southwest. Severed all ties with the Gaul side, the southwestern rebellion, Ming and not Ming, that is very different. Previously, everyone could cover their eyes and pretend not to see the rebellion in the southwest, after all, everyone knew that the woman standing behind her was the Gallic Emperor Xià, but now, the southwest side has completely cut off contact, which means that because of the emperor's personal behavior, an important region has been forced to secede from the empire, which is like an invisible earthquake for the entire Gaul internal shock, from the news of Gaul Kyoto, to all parts of Gaul
The celebration of the first anniversary of the enthronement of His Majesty the Emperor began in an awkward atmosphere, and in order to cover up the crisis within the empire, the celebration was extremely grand, with flowers, Streamers and a magnificent large float show made up the opening ceremony of the whole ceremony, and the high-ranking officials and nobles on the steps were not interested in it, and this kind of performance was quite suitable for the common people, but they did not like it, but in the spirit of the principle of enjoying the people, they still had to stand on the steps and enjoy this form of celebration with His Majesty the Emperor, which was not at all fun for them.
In order to reflect the brave and enterprising spirit of the new emperor, the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army were specially transferred back from the eastern battlefield, with a total of 200,000 troops, of which 50,000 people sent 500,000 troops to walk in a neat row in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and the cheers of the people rang out all around, "Long live the Emperor Xi à, long live Gaul!"
After the jubilation in Kyoto, it was a huge expenditure far beyond the statistics of the imperial financial department, 200,000 army logistics expenses, 50,000 elite military parade rewards, His Majesty the Emperor just waved his hand, and millions of gold coins were opened, but in terms of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, there was a different view on this matter,
The Sixth Army and the Eighth Army Corps of the Eastern Battlefield of the Empire, which were ordered to be mobilized by His Majesty the Emperor, were the elite of the Eastern Battlefield.
After the celebration, there was no order to return
It undoubtedly made this tranquility feel like the calm before the arrival of an unprecedented storm, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the pre-war period, which was suffocating. "Urgent report, Falcon Empire invasion" twilight. Under the blood-red sunset, a Gallic cavalry sweaty messenger rushed into the east gate of Gallic Kyoto like a whirlwind, and shouted loudly and crisply as he galloped, "The Falcon Empire has sent troops to the southwest, with more than 100,000 troops!" "What is the Falcon Empire?"
The Gauls in the streets were at a loss, the windows of the streets were pushed open, and countless eyes watched. The news spread like lightning throughout the city, and at this time, under the southwest capital, the army was like a cloud, the black armor was overwhelming, and in the dust, a golden falcon flag was eye-catching.
In July of the sixth year of the imperial calendar, in July 1203 of the Obaro calendar, the Falcon Emperor, known as the invasion of the demon army by later generations, officially entered the western region of the Obaro continent (to be continued......
