405 Fools? (2)
The Vycchians are not as bad as Apollodi said!
Kurd, the commander of the Fourth Army, who was sitting at the head of Field Marshal Berlant, could no longer stand Apollodi's arrogant remarks, stood up excitedly from his seat, and unceremoniously interrupted Apollodi's speech
In fact, the infantry of the Vicchian army was very strong, even not inferior to the Germans of the south, as the generals here were well aware
"We have just lost the Northern Campaign of Vekia, and now we can no longer lose the northern steppes because of arrogance! This is a crime against the kingdom! It is a desecration of the trust of His Majesty the King!
His Majesty gave us 180,000 troops, so that we could lead them to victory, not for us to squander them by some arrogant fellows
Kurd is the oldest of the generals of the Northern Army, and he is also a bodyguard of King Haraus or the Wandering Prince, following His Majesty the King to fight in the north and south, with outstanding military achievements, and can be described as an old man in the Northern Army.
Many generals of the Northern Army have been taken care of by him, and this time he was the leader of the main army of the Northern Army that accompanied the Marshal to the north to rescue.
With a reinforced strength of one-third more than the other legions, and more than 5,000 heavily armed knights, it can be seen that he has an extraordinary weight in the eyes of His Majesty the King and the kingdom's military headquarters
Seeing that it was him who spoke, it was how Apollodi relied on his identity as a son of a wealthy family, and he didn't dare to continue talking nonsense, but only dared to mumble in a low voice of dissatisfaction
"Isn't it just because of your seniority, if you are according to the title, I am a duke family! You are just a little marquis!"
Kurd pretended not to hear Apollodi's whispers, a wealthy man like Apollodi, Kurd has seen too much in his life!
What ability is nothing, it is completely relying on the big tree of the family to climb to a high position in the army,
Such a situation is not common in the Northern Army, which fights all year round, but in several central regiments near Kyoto, it abounds, and most of the officers are children of families with mixed seniority in the army.
Because according to the law of title succession of Ruierdian, if it is a family with a military title, its descendants must serve in the army for more than 2 years
Kurd used his dim eyes to look at Marshal Berlant and the generals present, completely ignoring the depressed Apollodi, and said in a firm voice
"I don't think it's a wise choice at this moment, if not necessary, to fight both the countries of Kugit and Wikia at the same time!
"But," Kurd's voice changed, and he said in an accentuated tone, "it's not that we don't want to, the Wikibians will stop, and now they are massively massing forces on the border, no matter what the intentions, we must prepare for the worst!"
Kurd's words won the approval of the generals of the Northern Army, and they nodded their heads one after another, which was completely one heaven and one on the ground when they were full of sneers against Apollodi just now.
"What a bunch of villains!" Apollodi sat down in his seat with a sad look on his face, and the northern generals who watched it laughed in their hearts
"If it weren't for the face of the Apollo family, then it would be your kid's turn to speak! Now you know! In front of these real military bosses, you kid is a dish!"
"Well, the old Marquis of Kurds is right" Marshal Berrant nodded, Kurd is the leader of the generals of the Northern Army, since he has spoken, Berrant, as a marshal, has to make a statement,
"I have decided to transfer the Kurdish Lord's Fourth Knights and Wimble's Eleventh Knights to the western line of attack, both of which are mainly cavalry,
In particular, the Kurdish Knights had an integrated hoplite order, and these powerful cavalry were of little use in storming Achmore, but they were effective in restraining the infantry clusters of Vekia.
Marshal Berlant's words paused, and he looked at Apollodi, who was talking nonsense just now, and continued: "At the same time, we must immediately strengthen the surveillance of the Vikchia side, this task is very important, I have decided to establish a special person in charge, who of you is willing to take on this task!"
As soon as Marshal Berrant's words fell, a general of the Northern Army stood up and said, "My subordinates have a suitable candidate in their hearts! Since Commander Apollodi knows so much about Vecchia, it is better to leave this important task to Lord Apollodi!"
"Hehe!" As soon as the general's words fell, a sneer came from the venue,
For this tenth knight commander transferred from Kyoto District, the generals of the Northern Army have long been displeased,
Seeing the smiling expressions of the generals around him, Apollodi also seemed to sense the deep dislike of the entire Northern Army for himself,
"Well, if there is no opinion, this matter will be handed over to the Commander of the Apollodi Army!" Blant can also take the opportunity to throw this son of a wealthy family who doesn't know the importance of it to a place where he can't see it and don't worry about it.
Otherwise, if you continue to make trouble like this, it will be an insult to all the northern generals of Rui Erdian,
"Okay, I'll be in charge of this after this!" Apollodi knew that he couldn't retreat, so he could only nod his head with an embarrassed face, and got up indignantly, and in front of all Marshal Berrant and the general of the north, got up and left the central tent where the meeting was taking place,
As soon as he stepped out of the tent door, Apollodi's anger immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of contempt
"My lord, things are okay," a figure emerged from the shadows of the tent in front of him, and his deep voice had a hint of flattery,
"Yes, Tirnarante, you've got a good idea, even more effective than I expected," Apollodi saw the dark shadow and patted him on the shoulder with his hand in satisfaction
"Now in the minds of this group of northern fools, I must be a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, which is very beneficial to our plan!
"If there were always people watching, we wouldn't be able to do anything!" Apollodi looked around cautiously and said in a low voice, "The most important thing we need to do now is to let them let their guard down, and it is better to grasp the unseen places!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand that this northern army has always been the descendant and backing of the eldest prince, and they always have a defensive attitude towards the adults in the second prince's camp, so we must find a way to make them relax their vigilance!" Tirnalan nodded and said,
"Well, you understand people!" Apollodi glanced at Tynarant in surprise, and his heart was a little more understanding of the second prince's special dispatch of Tynarant to his side to help
Apollodi said, "The eldest prince has already overwhelmed His Royal Highness the Second Prince in terms of strength, if this time the Northern Army of Rui Erdian pacifies the northern grasslands in one fell swoop, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will have no chance at all!"
So no matter what, we can't let the Northern Army achieve such a huge feat so lightly, you once said that the Samar Falcon of Vekia is ambitious and will definitely not sit idly by and watch Kugit be destroyed, so he will definitely intervene!
Now that the war situation in the south is tight, the second prince has no time to take care of the north.
We only hope that your guess is not wrong, as long as Vekia is behind it, even if the Northern Army can win, it will be a miserable victory at best,
As soon as this tense period passes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will have enough time to withdraw his hand from the south.
Suppress the ever-expanding power of the Great Prince, and as long as you ascend to the throne of the king in the future, your previous request for the restoration of the Fù Tier family is a matter of one sentence!, this is your opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and you must take advantage of it
"Yes, what your lord said is true! The subordinates will do their best not to disappoint the second prince!" said Tirnarant with a loyal nod, until he looked at Apollodi's distant back, and Tirnarant's face, which was still full of flattery just now, showed a smug smile,
Since coming to Rui Erdian, this Vicchia hero has relied on the camp of the second prince represented by the southern forces, and quickly relied on his talent for conspiracy to gain the trust of the second prince.
With several attempts at power struggles, Tirnerant also figured out some of the situation in Raldian's country
Although Ruierdian looks extremely powerful from the outside, it suppresses the kingdom of Zode in the south and enters the Kugit grassland in the north, and it can be said that the scenery is infinite with the power of one country to resist the two great powers.
In fact, there are many factions inside,
The continuous wars continue to consume the national strength of Rui Erdian, and the two princes are not good at each other, fighting for power and profit with each other.
This is also the result of King Harlaus's balancing policy for many years.
The mother of the eldest prince Acrysas is the eldest daughter of the Acrylic family, one of the three major dukes in the north, and is the queen of the main family under the royal family of Ruierdian and above ten thousand people.
This in itself is a highly successful political transaction under the cloak of romance.
When King Harauth was wandering in the north in the era of the Three Princes, the leader of the northern forces, the Acrylic family fell in love with this seemingly cynical, but in fact the ambition was hidden.
In the name of a legitimate prince, a group of northern lords demanded the ambition of rising,
The two came together in front of the same political interests and staged a mutation that decided the fate of the kingdom.
At the critical moment when the various forces in Parabun, Kyoto, are still fighting for life and death for the vacant royal power,
The third prince, Haraus, who was considered no threat and took refuge in the north,
But suddenly with the 20,000 elite cavalry of the northern lord, he raided the great prince Tatujit, who had already won a complete victory at that time, and was parading on the outskirts of Kyoto.
It was a highly successful raid, from the Northern Territory to the sudden attack, 20,000 cavalry followed the chaotic situation, and it took only 2 days,
The timing of the whole battle was extremely well grasped, and the unprepared army of 60,000 descendants of the eldest prince was in great confusion under the sudden arrival of a large number of cavalry assaults.
Even the eldest prince, who thinks he is in control of the situation and can be crowned king the next day, has not escaped this military disaster.
Although the external propaganda is to be killed by the routed rebel army,
But according to inside information, it was King Haraus who personally plunged his eldest brother's chest with his sword engraved with the royal coat of arms
True thoughts are always hidden in the fabrication of the victors
This is a naked power struggle, in which there is only victory and defeat, no family affection, only the blood and cruelty of success and defeat, and the ruthlessness of the conspiracy!
At that time, the commander of the assault cavalry was the current Marshal Bellant, and his genius military talent was fully displayed in this battle.
20,000 cavalry swept through all the forces in Kyoto, using horses' hooves and spears to propel Haraus to the pinnacle of power
That night, except for a few royal princesses who had no inheritance rights, nearly half of the male members of the royal family were beheaded by the rebels.
The bloody purge that followed dyed the stone bricks of the entire Paravon street into blood red.
The heads of officials at all levels have fallen in tens of thousands, and the center of power in the kingdom has ushered in a new structure in the bloody storm,
Nearly 30 years have passed since this incident, but many Palauwenians still talk about the events of that year.
As a direct consequence of this coup, Haraus sat on the throne as he wished, and the northern lords, who had always been suppressed by the south, became the new nobles of the kingdom.
and gradually surpassed the south to become the most powerful power group in Ruierdian,
In order to be recognized by all the forces of the kingdom,
The first thing Harlaus did when he ascended the throne was to marry women from several large families in the north and south, which laid a hidden danger for the dispute between the north and the south of Rui Erdian.
And the mother of the second prince was the daughter of the Vikike family, the first wealthy family in the south at that time.
In the past few decades, although King Haraus has tried his best to adjust, as his body has grown old and the northern forces have gradually lost control,
The struggle for the throne of royal power has also become more and more intense, and this war against the southern kingdom is the result of the strong demand for expansion by the southern forces.
Tirnarant, who is good at conspiracy and fighting, can faintly feel something worth playing with from it,
Fighting in the north broke out at the same time as the south, was this a coincidence or an intentional arrangement?
Did King Haraus, the lord of a generation, also use this old method to decide the heir?
What an opportunity!
Thinking of this, Tirnarant felt the blood in his heart boiling,
At that time, Berrant was able to climb to the position of marshal of the kingdom, but couldn't he himself?
"My lord, Lord Apollodi, let me tell you that he is leaving for the border of Vekia tomorrow morning, and he needs someone who is familiar with Vekia!
"Where are you going to the borders of Vecchia?" Tilnarant wondered if he should be overexcited, and he had auditory hallucinations, and his face was ugly.
"The Marshal has just made an appointment, and the head of Apollodi is now in charge of investigating the recent disturbances on the border of Vikia, and we don't need to look at the faces of these northern generals anymore" The knight had a happy look on his face, and waved his hand to Tyrnarant with a look of joy on his face
"To be honest, I don't like these arrogant northerners either, although the lord's family is a wealthy family in the north, but the adult's wife is a member of the southern Aventus family, and for this reason, the family has even canceled the heir status of the adult,
This time it was forcibly sent.,Everyone knows the sinister intentions.,It's the family's credit to win.,Losing the adult is the scapegoat.,If it weren't for the king's majesty's withering order.,The adults wouldn't have come.,
Well, now we're free!Winning or losing doesn't matter much to us," the knight paused and said to Tirnarant with a look of greed
"I've heard of the blue rum on the border of Vecchia, but it's famous! And it's the only place where you can see the enchanting dance of the Salant dancers in a folk tavern!
The knight seemed to be looking forward to the trip to Vekia, and did not see Tirnarant's pale face at all
In July, on the northern border of Vecchia,
Clusters of ankle-high grass shook in the wind, blue maran, pink chrysanthemum, small-petaled cat's eye flower, and plain and pale wild chrysanthemum bloomed one after another.
The wind blew, and all kinds of bright flowers bent down in unison, and the whole ground was a sea of gold and green. [wzdff sticker bar hand hit group] [wzdff sticker bar hand hit group]
A black line appeared in the vast grassland sky,
"Quick! speed up!" Scelis whipped her horse with an anxious face, and behind her, there were a dozen Kugit guards in chain armor,
The war horse brought a whirlwind that smashed the blooming wildflowers everywhere, and the petals of various colors danced in the wind
Heavy horses' hooves shook the earth, shattering the peace of the steppe
"Miss, please look, it's our Star and Moon Banner!" a Kugit guard looked excited, pointing to the banner fluttering on the city wall in the distance and shouted,
"Eternal God bless!Achrist is still ours!" Celess breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a Kugit star and moon banner fluttering on the tall and thick city wall in the distance.
After getting a clear statement from the fat man that he promised to help, Celelis hurried back to the Kugit steppe non-stop, and wanted to tell the people in Aichemore about the possibility of burning Mount Rudato mentioned in the fat man's analysis.
This Achrist fortress is an important stronghold on the outskirts of Achmore,
Now it seems that because the confusion tactics designed by the fat man really worked, the temporary large-scale assembly of the Wekia army on the border really made the Ryordian people suspicious and had to postpone the time of the attack.
At this time, several patrolling Kugit light cavalry also spotted this rapidly approaching cavalry, and they rode their horses to surround them from all directions
"Artekle, take the flag, tell me who I am, these rangers!" shouted the guards who followed behind Scelis,
"Huh" a three-star arc moon flag embroidered with gold thread edges unfolded from the hands of the guards.
"Attention! It's from the royal court!" A captain of the Kugit cavalry squadron in charge of patrolling saw the unfurled three-star arc moon flag, his face tightened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted to the cavalry behind him,
The hundreds of Kugit Rangers who surrounded him quickly rushed to both sides like parting waves, parallel to Scelis's team,
The left and right wings were formed, and Celelise and her party were guarded in it
"Sue the guard officer of Sù Atrisk, Duke Scelis wants to see him!" one of the Kugit royal court guards shouted to the rangers guarding next to him (!)
