1696 Battle of Putao (2)

"Your Royal Highness Princess, ahead is Lisbento, the landing site designated by the Khan!" Heavy footsteps came, and the captain of the guard squadron, dressed in steppe leather chain mail, walked to the bow of the battleship from behind, and said to a graceful figure standing at the bow of the huge transport ship with a respectful expression,

The fierce sea breeze blew the white grassland robe of the figure in front of him fluttering, like the legendary flying fairy, and standing in front of him was the nominal commander of the 30,000 army of Xiting who had been transferred from the northwest region, and Philanton Ya, who had just been accepted as a righteous daughter by the previous female Khan king.

"It's Lisbento in front? Doesn't it mean that this is the capital of the Principality of Putao? It should be very prosperous, how can it be a big ruin!" Philanton Ya retracted his gaze from the ruin-like outline of the city in the distance with a slightly cold face, holding a small pony whip woven with gold thread, turned around his gorgeous figure, and asked with a slightly frowning puzzle, "Lisbonto is indeed the capital of the Duchy of Putao, but it was burned down by mobs a month ago" Tuomu replied with an embarrassed expression. Such ruins, could it be that His Majesty the Khan designated the battlefield for the first battle of my Duowei Division? Tumu, although you have left the Western Court, after all, you were once a member of my Western Court, and your tribe is also very well taken care of, you won't deliberately make fun of my Duowei Division!"

Philanton asked with an unkind expression, looking at Tumu with a slight cold light in his eyes

"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't get me wrong, this is a ruin, but that's just the surface, its essence is that this is the real focus of the empire and the rigidity, the strangulation of hundreds of thousands of troops!"

As Philanton said, he entered the ranks of the Imperial Guard, but his own people were still in the Xiting Grassland

The West Court fell, and the Duowei Department, one of the three departments of the royal court, took the big tree of the empire at a critical moment. Backed by the rise of the Falcon Empire, coupled with the support of the previous Khan, the population of the tribe has exceeded 200,000, and the steppe cavalry that can fight at any time is also more than 50,000, which seems to be the largest military group in Xiting

In the face of the behemoth of the Falcon Empire, the Duowei Department is just a thicker vine on this big tree, and the Dongting is stronger than it, as well as several countries in the northwest, but against its own tribe, the Duowei Department has heavy troops. Any finger is enough to crush a few back and forth, and Tomu, who was born in Xiting, has already gotten the news, this time the Xiting side formed a coalition of 30,000 troops to go to the Obarro region, nominally under the banner of responding to the call of the Falcon Khan King, but in fact, what was secretly launched was the dark war of the balance of power between the East and the West

He is a small detachment, even if he is full of guts, he does not dare to get involved in such a mess, don't look at Princess Philantonya, who looks like a little woman in front of His Majesty the Falcon. But as the sister of Duo Weiyan, the patriarch of the first major clan in Xiting, and the rumored underground lover of the Falcon Khan King, who dares to ignore the entire grassland, the grassland people have wolf nature regardless of gender. Following the beliefs of the strong has long been integrated into the bloodline, and the grassland nobles who grew up in such an environment are cold people by nature, Rui Tang Tingna is like this. The same goes for Philanthonya!

Even on the grassland, some people have begun to compare Philanton Ya with Rui Tang Tingna! Obviously, Xiting is building momentum!

"The 30,000-strong army led by Her Royal Highness the Princess is the sharpest scimitar in my Western Court. It's a good knife, of course, you have to use it where it's needed most!" Tuomu looked sad, thinking about how to explain it in his mind, and said slowly, "That's why King Khan handed over the most important battlefield to Xiting!

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" asked Philantonya, whose face was really happy, eagerly

"Her Royal Highness the Princess" Tumu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, knowing that the crisis had passed temporarily, and hurriedly explained in a panic, "When leaving, His Majesty the Khan specially explained that although the Xiting army is elite and good at fighting, after all, it is the first time to go to sea, the sea is different from the land, and most of the grassland people are not used to sailing on the sea" Tumu's voice paused, and the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating tone said with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of His Royal Highness Princess's jokes, when I landed in the northwest of Obaro with the King of Khan, I also vomited in the dark, and almost didn't vomit out my intestines!" I got used to sitting in the back and got used to it a little bit."

"The Khan King is thinking of this!, if the army is rushed into the battlefield in this situation, it will be detrimental to his own side, Lisbento is currently firmly under our control, all kinds of supplies are sufficient, and Her Royal Highness the princess's army can rest first after landing, and then discuss the battle when you are relieved, His Majesty the Khan also said......" Tumu's eyes rolled, and his voice suddenly stopped, "What else does His Majesty Khan say?"

Philantonya's eyes flickered, and her face was a little nervous and asked, although she pretended to have a tough expression just now, but in fact, this is the first time she has led an expedition of tens of thousands of troops, it is false to say that she is not nervous, this time she brought more than just a willingness to participate in the war

Tuomu's voice stopped, raised his head cautiously, and said in an accentuated tone, "Although this ruin is inconspicuous, it is the target of hundreds of thousands of armies on both sides, if Her Royal Highness the Princess can take it, it will ...... for Xiting's future voice in the imperial power."

"I see, I see!" Philanton interrupted him with a solemn expression, and nodded gratefully to the Xiting man who deliberately reminded him in his words, expressing a kind of silent thanks,

"I'm going to reach the port soon, I'll go get ready and take my leave!" Tuo Mu turned around and left, after all, he was still from Xiting, as the captain of the guard who had followed the Falcon Majesty and was well-informed, the meaning of the sentence just now was already very clear, the east and west courts participated in the war at the same time, and everyone wanted to overwhelm the other party,

But this dark war is for Xiting,

But the opportunity has been lost!

"His Majesty the Khan still left Xiting a chance in the end!"

When she was gone, Philantonya's bright gaze was once again cast on the ruins that were expanding in her sight, and her gaze was filled with the heat of a fire

In the past, I didn't think that the East Court and the West Court had been opposed to each other for many years, each based on half of the grassland, and no one was afraid of anyone, but as soon as he entered the Obaro area, Philanton was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that the East Court forces had already thrown off several streets of the West Court in the strategic arrangement of Obaro.

Not only have many settlements with favorable conditions have been obtained, but tens of thousands of immigrants have been relocated. Moreover, four large horse pastures were established to provide excellent horses for the Falcon Empire and trade, and the result was that it was supported by the Falcon Empire's officials, monopolizing the Empire's priority to purchase war horses in the Obarro region, and also getting two ports connecting the two continents.

It turned out that Dongting had already grabbed such a huge profit in the empire, and that woman's talent was even more terrifying than her traitorous father!

Compared with it, how ridiculous is the Xiting grassland's self-contained, internal friction and short-sightedness, as well as its contempt for all ethnic groups in the East Garden.

Just like this dispatch, it was not her turn to lead the 30,000 elite Xiting army with a female stream with no combat experience. The grassland is a heroic land, although Xiting is not there, but the generals are still like clouds, especially in recent years, under the painstaking management of Duo Weiyan. Backed by the Falcon Empire, monopolizing trade with the interior, its power expanded rapidly, and tens of thousands of cavalry commanders under its command were also famous grassland heroes. For this expedition, Duo Weiyan carefully selected one of the experienced commanders.

However, at the Xiting tribal meeting, Duo Weiyan's mention was just proposed, and it was boycotted by the patriarchs of various tribes

All the tribal patriarchs expressed this unanimity for the first time, that is, it is okay to send troops, but the commander must be Philanthonya, everyone knows that Philanthonya has a very good relationship with the Falcon Khan King, if it weren't for the identity of the royal family, she might have become the princess of the third empire of the steppe long ago,

What is most important to the patriarchs is that Philanthonya, who is not good at military affairs, can lead the troops, which can just avoid the opportunity for the Duowei to monopolize the huge interests of the family in the Battle of Dorok

As for the battle, that's not a problem at all, all the tribes in the West Court think in their hearts that they will not be worse than the East Garden, not to mention that the Falcon Khan King is a famous merry seed, and the most talked about by the grassland people is a red face, and the legendary deeds of defeating the continental overlord Rui Erdian, although this almost reckless military operation has mixed reviews in the inland areas, and many people privately discuss that even the military god Vekia Falcon has the weakness of emotional affairs, but in the grassland with a straightforward personality, there is no grassland person who does not give a thumbs up

I can't even protect my own woman, no matter how strong I am, I'm an aggrieved coward, as a woman, Philanton will feel gratified,

Xiting Grassland, has lost the original ambition, Philanton Ya clearly felt this from the heart, and actually hoped to use marriage to achieve the so-called "balance", if it wasn't for coming to Obarro, Philanton Ya would have felt that it was feasible, but now, Philanton Ya was ridiculous,

The patriarchs of the West Court didn't see that the ambitious East Court Chief Princess went further than they could see, and the word equilibrium, used on this East Court Chief Princess, was simply a joke, with the benefits of monopolizing the war horses in the northwest region of the empire, having its own dedicated port, and even new pastures,

It is conceivable that in a few years, Dongting will be able to defeat the self-proclaimed Xiting just by virtue of these interests in the northwest region of Obaro!

A qiē is all about speaking with strength,

When the various ethnic groups in the Western Court were still sitting in the mainland to watch the sky, the pace of the Eastern Court had already stepped to the other side of the mainland, and there was even a faint tendency to surpass the heyday of the Dongting Khanate

Although Dongting was defeated, the fighting spirit of the Dongting people was still sharp, and under the powerful military industrial equipment of the Falcon Empire, the combat power of some armies increased instead of decreasing.

In the battle of the northern border of Gangfei, the archers of the Eastern Court ambushed and killed the 150,000 troops of the Gangfei Empire in one fell swoop, which was unimaginable before, and the strong archers of the Falcon Army have shaken the entire Obarro Continent and are known as the Arrows of the Falcon! Compared with the Dongting army that shocked the Obaro Continent, the Xiting Army, which also has elite marksmen, is too obscure

It's no wonder that even if the elder brother risks the displeasure of the Falcon Khan, he has to forcibly stuff it into the increasingly fierce and fierce Obarro battlefield where the money is "far away".

It's just so tempting to get something here

New pastures, trading ports, and even small independent areas, the hope of the steppe people for thousands of years to get out of that bitter cold land has been found in the eldest princess of the Eastern Court who is regarded as an enemy, of course, Philanton Ya will not think that the eldest princess of the Eastern Court can achieve such proud results because of her natural wisdom, obviously, this qiē is because behind this woman, standing a man as great as the immortal sky, this man has the right to make all the impossible become a reality, is the core of this qiē to appearThe deck shook heavily, and hundreds of large transport ships entered the port of Lisbonto.

The huge hull creaks and squeezes on the port docks, and the port of Lisbento is too small for hundreds of large transport ships, and only thirty ships can enter at a time, which must be replaced in succession,

The incoming transport ship came to a halt in the widened port area, the baffle was lowered, and no one came down for a full minute, and a falcon soldier ran over curiously, only to find a team of Xiting Grassland shooters. Helping each other out of the transport ship, one by one pale or blue, many people have vomited and are trembling when they walk, for the grassland people, the wind and waves of the sea are too terrible, even if they have been accustomed to the bumps of the war horse, but these two bumps are completely different, the bumps of the war horse bring them the pleasure of galloping, and the bump of the sea is simply hell.

Fortunately, Lidarchus had already prepared for the port, and he commanded the soldiers assembled in the port to support the shooters from the west court on the transport ship, and the war horses were also pulled out of the cabin of the transport ship and hung on the planks on the spot. The steppe people, who had partially vomited and could not even walk, were pulled to the built-up area in the city, and although the city was burned, the area where the Gangnon army was stationed was preserved intact, and this was the first batch of troops to arrive. The reinforcements of 5,000 Xiting shooters made Lidakus a little worried.

Stick to Lisbonto for more than half a month. The blood of the Gangnon people who killed several times was like a river, and finally forced the Gangnonians to agree to the negotiation, and the original strategic deployment was arranged in this way, and Lidakus's task was only to divert the attention of the Gangnonians.

But no one expected that the situation on the Gangfei side changed abruptly, tore up the negotiation agreement, and increased the troops again, this unexpected change, completely disrupted the layout in advance, and the hastily deployed Lidakus, suddenly felt a little pressure, the defense line was temporarily arranged, many places were not in place, the Falcon Navy fleet, which was originally relied on as a reinforcement at sea, has been transferred to Gangfei Kyoto to fight, losing the strong suppression of Thor, Gangfei's several attacks are becoming more and more proficient, the latest one has approached the edge of the city wall,

The opposite general Gang Fei is a person who knows how to adapt very well, obviously strengthened the defensive measures for distant strikes, the woods outside the city were cut down by Gang Fei people in large quantities, woven into a huge baffle like a wall, Gang Fei people erected countless baffles outside the city, layer upon layer, blocking the sight on the city wall, and behind the baffle, the Gang Fei army can flexibly take a skirmish line to advance, a large number of archers in the thick baffle, the back directly pushed to the forefront of the battle, the two sides have broken out several large-scale shooting, the casualties of the Falcon army expanded to a thousand,

The difference in the combat strength of the troops on the side of the Duke of Putao was also expressed at the same time

These temporarily recruited soldiers and hired mercenaries paid for it, and it was okay to fight a smooth battle, but as soon as they entered the tragic short-handed encounter, they immediately showed that they were very bad, and several times, they were defeated by Gangfei shooters in the confrontation, and the casualties had exceeded more than 3,000 people.

Some of the demoralized mercenary units even fled in the middle of the night, but they were caught by the Gangfei people outside the city and beheaded one by one in front of everyone! Duke Putao's troops have begun to refuse to continue fighting, and Duke Putao is in a panic at the moment to convene a meeting of the officers of these troops "Her Royal Highness Princess"

Lidarchus bent down and saluted, and saw Fei Dun Lanya walking down from the transport ship, as if he saw a savior, the steppe people are famous for being good at war, and this time, the Falcon Majesty Xià put into the Putao battlefield, but there are 30,000 grassland cavalry, in addition to the 5,000 archers led by Fei Landuya himself, the other 25,000 grassland cavalry, will land on the long coastline of Putao in turn,

According to Lidarchus's knowledge of his master, this should be the force that Falcon Majesty decided to strike the final blow

The stubbornness of the Emperor Gangfei has made His Majesty lose the patience to continue to rub shoulders with Gangfeiren, and this is a very dangerous signal! The style of the Falcon Majesty has always made the enemy feel frightened and staggered, and a small Pu Tao is not the whole of the Falcon Majesty's gaze! When the long sword is unsheathed, it will inevitably see blood!

Now, both the Falcon Army and the Gangfei Army are very clear that the core of the contention between the two empires is in the Putao area, and the Gangfei Empire has increased its troops in the Putao, with the original intention of quickly resolving the core of this contention and controlling the initiative of the entire strategy in their own hands.

But if someone boldly extends their gaze, they will be shocked to find that when everyone's eyes are focused on the center of the battle in Putao, there is another battlefield that has been overlooked, and that is Gangfei Kyoto!

The main force of the Gangfei Navy was blocked on the periphery of Gangfei Kyoto, and the main force of the Gangfei Army was pinned down on the northern border.

Now Gangfei is like a giant who is held down on all fours, even if it is just a child holding a sharp little dagger, it can easily insert into the heart of this giant.

It is so close from Putao to Gangfei Kyoto, for the Falcon Majesty Xià, who is good at running thousands of miles, this little distance of hundreds of miles is really within reach......!
