2030 Life and Death (8)
"According to the report of our army's forward scouts, the coalition side should have sensed the news of the defeat at the front, and very decisively pushed its follow-up troops of about 110,000 troops onto the border line" In a large military tent with bright sky, a staff officer of the Falcon Imperial Army was pointing to a hanging map of the northern border of Gangfei, synthesizing the information received from all parties in a row.
The adjutant said in a loud voice to the Imperial generals in the military tents, "" The middle line is the army led by King Rayla himself, with a strength of about 50,000 troops, mainly hoplites, the left flank is the 30,000 troops of the Huns, which is a mobile force archers, and the right side is only 30,000 troops, but there is the upper reaches of the river, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to the movement of the large army......”
The imperial generals in the military tent had cold faces, occasionally exchanged heads, and only stopped after a few words, and everyone's eyes were focused on one person, that is, the Falcon Majesty, although the current situation can be understood, but the person who really determines the direction of the battle is still His Majesty,
Now the generals can see that the wilderness in the north of Gangfei is deliberately empty by His Majesty Falcon, the purpose is to prepare for this war battlefield, although there is only a faint feeling, the generals also feel the excitement and excitement in their hearts, the battle of Gangfei in the north is a battle of national fortune for a hundred years that really determines whether the empire is safe or not,
Because from the current map of the empire, the empire itself has been similar to the core area, in the upper half of the vast territory of the empire, northwest, southwest, and the whole of Gaul. All have been wiped out by the Empire, there is no military force enough to threaten the Empire, the sporadic resistance of the Gauls has become less and less, although the remnants of the Gauls are still in the so-called mountain provinces, but a mountain basin with a population of only a hundred thousand people does not have the strength to compete with the Empire at all, and it is thankful that it can not be destroyed by the Empire, and to the north of the Long Wall in the further north, the Thousand Miles Slavic Wilderness has been included in the Empire, like a huge strategic barrier. Isolate the empire from the dangers of the north, even if a tragic war really breaks out, this land of thousands of miles is enough to stop the destruction of the war, and the interior of the empire only needs to continuously transport soldiers and materials, and the domestic economy, population and property will not be affected
The only thing that worries the empire is the southern half of the empire
From the southwest region downward, it passes through almost the entire Gangfei region and the Putao region, with more than 3,000 miles of land and 20 million people. The strength of the army is not as strong as that of the northern section of the empire, almost all of them are the main army of the war, and the total number of troops in the southern section of the empire is less than 200,000, and they are all new legions. The number of recruits accounts for more than half, and on the economic basis, it is impossible to compare with the northwest and southwest regions that the empire has spent years of hard work and tens of millions of gold coins to build, and the only one that still has some economic strength is the Putao region. It is only a deformity that has developed by relying on maritime trade, and if it wants to truly become an economic center and a political center that is enough to determine one side. There's still a long way to go,
Compared with the densely populated northern section of the empire, the towns are dense like cobwebs, the southern part of the empire can be called a vast and sparsely populated area, and the population of Gangfei who has experienced continuous wars and broken countries has been sharply reduced from more than 30 million in its original heyday to 20 million, and in just a few years, the 10 million people in the Gangfei region are gone, and the rest have fled to the south.
But strategically, the generals also had to admit that this catastrophe actually created a formidable strategic depth, that is, the northern wilderness of Gangfei stretched for thousands of miles of the Great Plains, and more than 100,000 allied troops walked for more than a month, and still without fighting, they only touched the Edgar line in the middle of the divide, that is to say, for the Central European Barro people, who lacked cavalry, it would take at least a month and a half to cross this plain, what kind of battle would they fight? Not to mention how weak the logistics line supporting these hundreds of thousands of troops is
On this plain, the Central European and Barrow countries without cavalry as the main force were disadvantaged from the beginning, and if they did not go forward a hundred miles, the danger would increase by a hundred miles, and once they collapsed, it would be a disaster, and the main force of the coalition army collapsed, capturing nearly 80,000 people, destroying the maximum attack force that the coalition army could use, strategically reversing the disadvantage, and making the coalition army's efforts for months all go down the drain, all of which were based on this huge strategic depth, but after defeating the main force of the coalition army, His Majesty Falcon did not adopt the strategy of pressing the territory on a large scale, but stopped the attack line of the large army from the Olaros, which was still two hundred miles away from the border, and only released thousands of elite scouts to flow the coalition army back and forth on the border line, it's a bit incomprehensible to the generals
The generals were a little incomprehensible, but Berant Bonnie, who was sitting at the top of the left side, knew that the army stayed because it was time for the war to end.
Grabbing the maximum benefit at the least cost, this has always been the style of the fat man, fighting is not to kill more, the eyes can not only be confined to one place and one battle, but to look at the huge chessboard of the entire Obarro, the coalition army has been heavily damaged, before and after, the two wars filled with 300,000 troops, and there are more than 100,000 prisoners, after this battle, the coalition army has no strength to fight against the empire, in this empty wilderness, the empire has killed the Central European countries blood flowed like a river, frightened,. The other countries of Central Europe and Barrow were terrified to even look at this side, and the coalition army had no strength to attack the empire after this defeat, and the 110,000 troops on the border were already the last strength that the coalition army had pieced together by selling iron, and several kings were personally on the front line, and the result of continuing to persecute was that the fish died and the net was broken!
This battle of national fortune is already a victory, the battle of national fortune is not a battle of life and death, but bit by bit, with the passage of time and bring up the panic of national fortune, the so-called national fortune, is the victor by virtue of the advantages obtained by the war, in the strong position to keep the national fortune for decades, or even hundreds of years. On the other hand, because of the missed opportunity to rise, the fortune of the country is difficult to continue, and finally it will collapse until the death of the country and the destruction of the country, but these are not things that should be expressed immediately.
Because in addition to the Falcon Empire, there are also Istan and Fisan people in the west, and the countries in the middle section still have these countless variables that are difficult to control, and it is not necessarily a good thing for the empire to hit the Central European Barrow countries so that their control power is completely finished, and the Falcon Empire is an outsider after all. It is a problem in terms of long-term rule, and it takes a lot of effort to suppress and pacify the non-occupied territories alone, not to mention that they still have to spare their spare efforts to take care of these countries in the middle sector.
Although the Istan and the Fissan on the other side look like mortal enemies, since the main force of the coalition army has been pushed into the territory of the empire, the war has been in a semi-halted state, and the wait-and-see posture is undoubtedly detailed, the rise of the Falcon Empire is too strong, and the north will destroy Gaul. In just a few years, two powerful empires entrenched in the north-central region of the European Barro were wiped out, and the forces at the east and west ends of the Central European and European European Baros were opposed. It has been the main theme of the Central European Baro for hundreds of years, if the east is strong, it will coerce the middle section to fight the west, and if the west is strong, it will push the middle section to fight the east, and the Iraqi Empire will destroy Gangfei in one fell swoop. There is a personal enmity and the general trend,
But one thing is for sure, if the Falcon Empire hits the coalition forces the border. And the army marched westward to swallow the countries in the middle of the Central European Barrow,
No matter how the Istan people have a good relationship with the Empire, and how Fishan has a century-old grudge with the Istan people, the choice of the two countries is to immediately cease the war and gather a number of countries and forces that can be gathered to fight against the expanding and ferocious Falcon Empire! Coupled with the fact that the country in the middle section is pulling back in the open, the Falcon Empire is really dragged into this bottomless huge quagmire, if it is not for this, the dead fat man does not need to give up hundreds of miles of land first, put on a weak posture, and finally defeat the main force of the coalition army in his own territory, and also need to keep the army from going, and use time to increase the pressure of the coalition army, so that it can honestly sit at the negotiation table and become an object at will!
Now the situation is clear, and the dead fat man is looking for a suitable opportunity to move this war from the brutal battlefield to the negotiating table! It's just that what this opportunity is, Berlante Bonnie doesn't know, the beautiful and cold female knight gently pulled the hair on her forehead, her eyes were as bright as water, she saw that although the dead fat man was listening attentively, in fact, her fingers had been gently playing with a military report, and there was an unknown luster in the black pupils flickering, generally this kind of demeanor appeared, indicating that there was a situation that made the dead fat man feel out of control, the army was not triggered, such as a sharp arrow wound, the morale of the whole army was already boiling like boiling water after the war, and it could penetrate the front coalition army at any time, at this time, what else made the dead fat man feel restrained?
At this time, only the fat man complained in his heart, the report in his hand was sent back by the forward scout, and the forward scout mentioned in the report that he had killed a general of the Hun people, which was not taken to heart by the fat man, the coalition general died and died, anyway, he killed a lot, it doesn't matter if there is more or less of one, but the news from the inside of the coalition army made him a little solemn, it was not the general of the Hun people who died, but the king of the Hun Jae, Bai Geros, and the Hungarian general Yaaosen has passed the news of his death back to the Hungarian country, and the Hun people are gathering troops and preparing to take revenge with all their might!
Looking at such a secret report, the fat man was stunned for more than ten seconds, your mother, don't play like this, I swallowed my anger here, just to force the coalition forces to the negotiating table, how could it be that in the blink of an eye, there was such a thing in front, although the scouts sent out by myself were all the elite of the elite, but the number was about a thousand, and the dignified Hun King actually hung up like this, this is really not something I can calculate! However, the fat man is a murderous bastard, and his heart shook slightly and then calmed down, although the Hungarians are rare and fierce in the Central European Barrow countries, but how can they be fierce?" "Summoning everyone this time is not only a military intelligence briefing, but also one thing, that is, the coalition forces will soon have abnormal behavior, and they may launch an active attack!" The fat man waved his hand, interrupting the military adjutant who was explaining, and said with a slight cold voice on the corner of his mouth, "What, the coalition forces are crazy! Do they still have the ability to take the initiative to attack?" The voice of discussion in the military tent rose sharply at this moment, and Berlant Bonnie, who was sitting on the left side, was also stunned for a moment, could this be what made the dead fat man feel out of control? How could such a thing happen when the coalition forces took the initiative to attack!
"Now I order, the army is ready to move!" The fat man's gaze swept over the generals like lightning, and he said in a condensed voice, "The enemy this time may be a cavalry cluster, the number is unknown, but in order to prepare early, the armies advanced in a horizontal line, in front of the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thunder gods. I would like to see that the coalition forces are steel and iron, and I can be killed into slag......
"Bastard's Hunnarian!"
In the base camp of the coalition army, the kings of the coalition army are also itching with hate, the Huns are an alien race, and the Central European Baro countries have always regarded them as invaders.
Now it's okay, the Hungarian king is dead, the Hungarian general Yaaosen turned his face and didn't recognize people, and bluntly said that he wanted to pour the country's troops to avenge the king, the Hungarian Kingdom currently has a population of more than 3 million people, although slaves account for the majority, but the real Hungarian people also have seven or eight hundred thousand, excluding the old and weak women and children, this national revenge can pull out more than 100,000 Hun Ya young and strong is not a problem.
If it was all cavalry, it would be good to be able to reach the battlefield within a few days, and this is what worries the kings of the coalition army, the number of cavalry in the Hungarian Kingdom is only about 40,000. The rest of the people can only be infantry, the Huns have always regarded plundering other countries as the norm, and these hundreds of thousands of armed Huns are pouring in, and they can't stand it in that country. In the minds of the kings of the nations, the Huns could already be imagined sweeping through the mountains like locusts, and their towns were burning. The castles of the nobles were looted, the people were displaced, that is the memory of the ancestors a hundred years ago, the palace paintings of many countries are based on the disaster as the background, although these kings did not experience the catastrophe, but since childhood, they have not heard a lot of stories about such content, the Hungarians are the source of the disaster, the place crossed, the blood flowed like a river, and the older generation sang about this
"The catastrophe is just around the corner, the Huns will burn down our homes, plunder our subjects as slaves, what Falcon Empire are we still fighting here, it's really stupid, no matter what you do, I want to go back, the Hayado Kingdom will be considered to have withdrawn from the coalition, I hope you take care" A middle-aged king stood up with a solemn face, waved his hand to the other kings, and walked away with an ugly face,
Yaaosen, who came out of the coalition army, was riding on a war horse with a solemn face, the sky was vast, the vigorous cold wind was whistling, the snowflakes were falling from the sky, the fertile black soil plain was also annihilated, the black clouds overhead, as black as ink, and the road ahead was dark. The snow was glowing slightly. The accompanying Hungarian cavalry on a dark and snowy night. Walking one foot deep and one foot shallow. All dressed in leather armor, with long knives at their waists and bows and arrows on their backs, they bowed their heads and galloped. No one was chatting or talking, and from time to time there was a command in the darkness, "Keep up with the front!Don't be left behind!" The sound of horses' hooves trampling the snowy grass and making dense stubble.
As a general with the army, in the wilderness but sitting and watching the Hungarian King die, Yaaosen knew that he had no way back, if he wanted not to die, if he wanted to let the Yaao family continue to follow, he had to muddy the waters, the first thing was naturally to send the news of the death of the Hungarian King back to China, and the second thing was to find the Falcon Empire cavalry that raided and killed the king that night, for this reason, he had sent all the light cavalry under his command, and even led a team himself, but there was no result, but this was not what he cared about the most, because he had a premonition that a real storm was coming, and the Hungarian wolf soul, which had not been manifested for a hundred years, had also come to wake up and roar this time, to make those Central European Baro people tremble, he secretly sent his eldest son back to the country, no matter how much it cost, but also after the arrival of the death of the king of Hungary, to create a momentum of revenge in the country,
Only in this way can he Yaaosen have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and even gain a place in this chaos of the king's death.
The Hun people have not died for sixty or seventy years, according to tradition, whoever can avenge the king is the next generation of Hun kings, and the Huns are not a country that particularly respects blood, and the domestic clans will inevitably seize this opportunity to push their children to the throne with all their might.
In the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom, the city of Dawn is shrouded in winter fog and the sound of horses' hooves breaks the silence of the early morning. At the gate of the city that the Hungarian king urgently opened, a group of knights rushed into the open gate like a whirlwind, and the bright red cloak of the knights fluttered in the wind The wolf tooth symbol of the Hungarians, and the golden threads on it burned bright in the dawn of dawn.
"His Majesty is dead in battle!, His Majesty is dead in battle!" The voice of one of the knights at the head was loud, it was the eldest son of Yaaosen, and the people on the road gathered around him to ask him clearly, but the horse was so fast that it rushed through the crowd as if a gust of wind was blowing, and did not stop, leaving only the frightened Hun Ya people with a back. "Do you know, the king is dead!" The news spread like a storm throughout the royal capital, causing a stirring and uneasiness throughout the Hun Ya. (To be continued......)
