1372 A Thousand Charms (8)

"Send this order out as fast as you can!" the fat man walked out of the room, handed the letter in his hand to the guard in civilian clothes at the door, this is a small hotel in Bianji, which is a somewhat shabby little hotel,

"Yes!" Konoe nodded cautiously, took the letter and quickly left,

"The weather is really bad today!"

The fat man heard the Kugit people who were drinking in the tavern downstairs talking about something in a low voice, and couldn't help but glance out, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't know when, a yellow smoke formed a milky white halo on the edge of the sky,

The weather seems to feel something, yesterday it was still a clear sky, today it suddenly became dim, even the red hot sun, behind this mysterious layer of yellow mist, can only see a faint yellow halo,

The fat man heard an experienced Kugit merchant below say, "It seems to be a premonition before the arrival of a heavy rainstorm in the grassland, this was the weather last month, but as a result, a heavy rainstorm occurred, and the losses within the clan have not been fully recovered until now!"

"Who says it's not, I'm afraid that another tribe is going to be unlucky!" Another Kujiit took a sip of wine and responded dejectedly, "You can see that the weather is not a good sign, the day before yesterday was still full of people, but now there are a lot less, and the hundreds of tents that are dense on the periphery were quietly removed half of them yesterday, as if they were neatly shaved off, and I went to see it today, and less than 30 can be left, all of which are tribal flags on the Xiting side, which makes people do business!"

"Still thinking about doing business, or thinking about the war between the empire and the Eastern Court, what should we do ourselves!" said the Kugit merchant with a melancholy expression, "It's hard to have a few days of peace, what do you think this is!" It seems that most of the Dongting people have already smelled the smell of war from here, and they all know that once the two sides are at war, Bian Ji, who is responsible for the daily material hoarding function, is undoubtedly the most important target.

This is the third day of the fat man to the side set. The whole of the North has been turned upside down, or rather, the dark clouds of war are clearly visible to the eye,

Since Berlante Bonnie's "Lioness's Roar" that night alarmed the entire side set, the fat man secretly chose to move out the next day and find another small hotel where no one paid attention.

A Berlant Bonnie has already tensed the nerves of the people of the Eastern Court, and if you add a Falcon Khan King, it is estimated that the Western Army, which senses that the conspiracy has been exposed, will immediately launch a rebellion. There will be no other choice,

And this is not good for the empire, such an unexpected situation,

Although the border guards of Bellant Bonnie were well-equipped and high-spirited, the number of them was only 30,000 after all, and the corresponding 500,000 Dongting people in the entire Western Army camp were drawn from the prairie tribe in wartime. In other words, the Western Army, which jumped over the wall in a hurry, was able to draw out more than 100,000 Dongting cavalry, such a number of cavalry, this is definitely a force that can shake the entire northern border. The iron flow of war horses like floods and landslides can penetrate some of the scattered defense lines of the border guards in a short period of time, like a thousand arrows in an instant.

If the 100,000 Dongting cavalry split the road, they would go straight to the inner areas of the continent regardless of it. Taking advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry and bypassing the barriers on the sidelines, the flames of war will spread throughout the middle of the continent. The lives are devastated, the iron hooves and scimitars of the East Court will once again crush the peace of the interior, which is also the problem that the fat man has always been most worried about, compared with the extremely mobile nomadic cavalry, the defense power of the interior is almost equal to nothing, if you want to pull up a real defense line, the project is so huge that it will completely exhaust the national strength of the empire, at least for fifty years, there will be no further development,

Compared with such a choice, the fat man only chooses to use war to solve this problem once and for all, but it takes time to mobilize troops, and there are two troops that can support the border guards at the earliest.

One is the Central Army of Hukochili stationed in Paraven, this is the descendant of the fat man, well-equipped, most of them are experienced veterans, the number is about 50,000, like a needle of the sea god, sitting in the center of the continent, the fat man has calculated the time, if he receives the order to go north, the Central Army stationed in the center of the continent will need seven days to reach the northern border at the earliest, but I am afraid that the cavalry of the Eastern Court will already be like a tide across the border,

The other one, that is, some time ago asked to be stationed in the northern border of the Duo Wei Yan Department, this is currently the most likely to form a confrontation with the Dongting people of a backup force, after following the fat man for 2 years, the original wolf bèi unbearable Duo Wei Yan, according to Ai Che Moore as the center, has been mixed with wind and water, in the south of the Xiting grassland, it is also the leading force, the number of cavalry that can mobilize to participate in the battle has 40,000,

Its vanguard of 10,000 cavalry is stationed at the border pass of the Exxon Mountains, which is less than 100 miles away, and if it is fully forced, it can be reached in a day.

The fat man believes that as long as he allows the Xiting side to participate in the war, it is estimated that Xiao Duo, who has always been unhappy with the East Court, can pull out at least 30,000 people, and if you count some other Xiting tribes, the total strength is estimated to reach 50,000 people.

Further afield are the 40,000 Western Army of Krorissat stationed in the Dorok Mountains, and the Varisian Army stationed south of Paraven, which numbered only 20,000, but was the only corps equipped with grenadiers in the Empire, and the 30,000 Southern Second Army in the southern part of the Empire, composed of Rods, which were the elite of the Empire's inland corps, and if all mobilized, they could reach a considerable 90,000

But this is only theoretical, not to mention the length of the various corps from the northern border, whether they can coordinate and cooperate, in this era when information cannot be circulated in a timely manner, is itself a big problem

It is said that it takes at least 2 days for each army to receive the assembly order to concentrate the troops from the various stations and set off as a whole, not to mention the large amount of time delayed in mobilizing logistics, and the Dongting side is different, the steppe cavalry longbow and fast horse can give full play to the advantage of being as fast as the wind, and only need a small amount of supplies to transfer thousands of miles, from a certain point of view, the steppe cavalry can rely on the advantages of high mobility and high advance, without the love of war, completely defeat any mainland troops

In terms of the deployment of the continental legion, if you want to rely on the traditional defensive line to suppress the multi-line invasion of the Dongting cavalry, it will be like the original Rui Erdian, and the result will inevitably be a tragic exhaustion confrontation, no matter what the outcome of this war is, according to the Dongting people's penchant for killing, it will be a tragic catastrophe for the empire that has just recovered from the war, and after the victory, what you get will be a scorched earth with no population. "In this battle, we must use a decoy to attract the Western Army, otherwise we will be beaten into a sieve by 100,000 Eastern Court cavalry!" the fat man looked at Berlant Bonnie, who was moving above

"Bait, do you mean Ritatina, or do you mean me?" Berlante Bonnie paused, pulled her sweat-stained hair, and a cold glint flashed in her excited eyes,

"It's all!"

The fat man lay on the bed and smiled at the flushed jade man above, "I have already written a letter to Rui Tang Tingna, as long as she does not move the other party's internal line, I believe that the Western Army will not rebel immediately for the time being, but your fighting spirit here must be more obvious, so that when the Western Army attacks Rui Tang Tingna, it has to allocate a part of its forces to defend you! As long as the Western Army hesitates, we have a chance to let the war only stop at the grassland."

"I see!"

Berlante Bonnie's white jade teeth bit her lip, twisted her beautiful and infinite body, and gave the fat man a bright white look, and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Rui Erdian would bear the brunt of the impact of the Dongting people, I wouldn't have bothered to care about the life or death of that woman!

"It's dangerous!"

The fat man said with a heavy face, "You are responsible for the east and west ends of the grassland border, and the absence of either side may lead to an overturning disaster in the end! In this war, helping her is helping yourself! You should understand this."

"Okay, I know, it's annoying! I'm also the commander of the first army, save some face" Berlant Bonnie pouted, flicked her long golden hair, walked to the hanger in the room, and under the burning gaze of the fat man, put on her underwear, and then the red scale armor that was as delicate as a flame, pinned the knight's sword to her waist, and arranged the collar of the cuffs, like a heroic female knight,

At this moment, she is no longer the stunning and enchanting of the fat man, but the commander of the 30,000 army

"Your Excellency!"

Downstairs, two middle-aged men dressed in the armor of the black general of the empire neatly saluted Berrant Bonnie who walked downstairs, which was the two main battle flag commanders of the Berrant Bonnie Frontier Army, Benedict and Adair, both of whom were brave generals in the northern army of Ruierdian and Marshal Berrant's most loyal subordinates

"Are you ready?"

Berlante Bonnie asked with a stern gaze, the grassland in the distance was gathering in the wind, a broken leaf was blown up by the wind, and it flew into the air.

The cavalry of 5,000 border guards had entered Ebertsoft 50 miles away from Bianji yesterday, which was a small town known as the crossroads of the steppe, that is, the side line of the sixteenth team shouted by Berlant Bonnie that night, there was no doubt that it would be the first line to resist the attack, and the movement of 30,000 border guards converging on the border was also seen by the Dongting people on the opposite side.

On the fifth day, the shadows of the Eastern Court cavalry could already be seen in the meadows opposite Ebertsoft, and on the sixth day, the camp with the battle flag of the Western Army appeared on the outskirts of Ebertsoft (to be continued). )
