776 Dorok Offensive (3)
Caesar Solon stood in front of the window on the second floor of the city hall of Ras, looking out of the window with deep eyes, once the clear summer passed, the northern highlands of Dorok on the higher ground were covered with a gray and heavy coat, and the streets were scattered with yellow fallen leaves. The spires of majestic buildings are projected on sparsely populated streets, tall plane trees sway silently in the autumn wind, and a deep twilight envelops this ancient and magnificent city.
The frost season in Dorok is earlier than in other parts of the continent, but it is only mid-November, and snowflakes can already be seen in some polar regions, and the city of Russ, which is close to the north, can barely see the scene 50 meters ahead in the cold winter fog, the sky and streets are dull colors.
The dead leaves falling from the trunks of the trees on the roadside, the dust and waste paper flying on the streets, adding to the gloomy mood, the cold wind swept through the long streets, and the passers-by walking on the deserted streets rolled up their collars.
The bleak early winter earth seems to bring mourning, and this feeling is not only felt by sentimental poets and artists, but also by ordinary people.
Even the birds on the trunks, the cats at the doors, and the lean horses carrying the goods all felt the long, cruel winter breath coming
According to the Dorok people, this is the goddess of winter, dressed in a coat of winter mist, awakening from her deep slumber in the mountains, and examining her territory with her eyes that can freeze any life.
Behind Caesar Soro, a red letter with a sealed secret letter lay quietly on the desk in the room, the content of the letter made Caesar Solon a little difficult to decide, it was a letter from the Palaven side with a carrier pigeon in return,
Caesar Solon had reported the secret letter to the base camp in Parabon the morning before yesterday by carrier pigeon, and in the afternoon the reply from the Parabun side was returned.
If you don't count the barriers of the mountains. It's only about 3 days away from Paraven, and according to the speed of military pigeons, you can go back and forth in a day
Although I don't know what method the Birnes can use to send the news to the Dorok Council, not only through the blockade of the Vedic tribes, but also through the way of the guò scouts to bring back the letter, but the content involved is nothing more than asking the Byrnes to stick to the treatment, and when the parliamentary army quells the rebellion, they will immediately send reinforcements and the like, but one of the names mentioned in it has to arouse the vigilance of Caesar Sauron,
Edian Fink, from the red circle drawn by His Majesty the Falcon himself with a red quill, made the name look so eye-catching, and three times, the name of the Minister of the King of Nord appeared in an important position in the letter,
It seems that the person who gave back to this letter felt that it was difficult to reassure the Byrnes with just empty words, so he also wrote the name of the Nord Minister of War to increase his credibility, and the signature at the end of the letter was the signature of Speaker General Dorok and two other speakers, which was enough to prove the weight of the letter
"Is this a deliberate suspicion of the Doroks, or is it indeed a coalition with the Nords?"
Caesar Sauron withdrew his gaze from the window, and looked at the thin letter on the table again with some confusion, his eyes were full of intense and inextricable prudence and confusion,
Everyone knows that in the battle in the south of Ruierdian, the Falcon Dynasty only relied on 20,000 cavalry to divide the tactics of attacking and harassing, and turned the ambitious Nord army of more than 100,000 northward troops, which can be said to have made the Nord Kingdom lose face, and in order to retaliate, it is completely reasonable for the Nords to participate in this war at this moment,
The appearance of Edian Fink, the famous Nord general with the title of Nord Tiger, is like a danger signal, which makes the originally stable Northland Thunder Project unpredictable,...,
In Salon's report to the fat man, he asked to temporarily stop the Northland Thunder Plan, and the sudden appearance of the Nord army disrupted almost all the previous arrangements, and even the Falcon headquarters also sent an order to temporarily postpone the all-out attack on Lana, and wait until the secret assassin investigates the authenticity of the matter before making a decision, which shows that even His Majesty the Falcon is not sure that under the eyes of the Nords, he will attack Lana City with limited troops.
The key to a qiē is based on the premise of whether Airley can hold on, the strength of the Dorok Council is still increasing, and no one dares to guarantee that on the day of the siege, there will be no well-armed Nord legion inside, and behind this Nord minister, it is impossible to be alone.
The greatest possibility is that one or more Nord legions have entered Dorok under the cover of the Dorok Council, if this is the case, with only the 2 banner regiments on Elle's side, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the combined forces of Dorok and Nord,
Once the defensive line is breached, 30,000 Aberron legionnaires will be in a situation of being attacked on their backs in the complex mountains.
"Bang bang" Just when Caesar Solon hesitated, there was a knock on the door in the room, "Well, please come in" Caesar Solon turned around a little unexpectedly, he knew that it should not be the guards outside the door who knocked, Caesar Sauron has always been strict in governing the army, if it is knocked by the guards outside the door, he will definitely report it first.
"Why, our Caesar Zoro seems to be very sorrowful!" As the door opened, a familiar shadow appeared in the doorway,
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Caesar Zoro's face immediately showed an expression of enlightenment, no wonder the guards didn't even have a voice to report, it turned out that it was His Majesty the Falcon himself, and the guards outside the door were already half-kneeling on the ground,
"Why, looking at your unwelcoming look, you won't let me in and sit?"
The fat man patted the dust on his body, took off the muddy cloak on his body and hung it on the door, sat down on a bench by the window, with a resentful expression on his face, and said casually, "I read your report, out of prudence, I decided to come in person!" The fat man touched his chin very casually, "To tell the truth, it is really a pity that you immediately end the Northland Thunder Plan!" Tell me what you think, tell me something real, since you're here, don't take it out if you're fooling people who are so powerful that all the enemies are defeated."
"This, ahem...... It's a pity indeed, but our forces are limited, and it's difficult to fight on both sides at the same time, which disappoints Your Majesty!"
Caesar Sauron straightened his body with an embarrassed face, his clothes were straight, his body was straight, his eyes were sharp, his face was stern and slightly melancholy, and he had an exemplary military demeanor, until the fat man made a gesture, and then sat down opposite the fat man,
Since the fat man wanted to listen to the truth, Caesar Sauron also decided to let go, and he pointed out a long line on the map on the table with his hand, "These are the three lines of defense of the Byrnes that we are going to face,
Russ is this long line, which has been occupied by us, but the two lines of defense behind it are both fortresses built by the mountains, the mountain roads are steep and narrow, no matter how many soldiers there are, they can only send one squadron up at the same time, and the defenders above are well prepared, it is too difficult to break through in a short time, if Ai Ray is lost, our army will become a rat caught in the middle, and there will be no chance to retreat!"
"Are you worried that the Nords will take part in the attack on Eylay?" the fat man touched his chin and pointed out the concerns of his henchmen,
With a calm face, he took out a scroll from his bosom and gently placed it in front of Caesar Sauron.
Under Caesar Sauron's bewildered gaze, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of the fat man's mouth, "Look at this, I'm sure it will make you less worried...,
"This is ......" Caesar Sauron bent down and picked up the scroll on the table, slowly opened it with a confused face, his eyes swept over, his eyes were full of shock, his mouth was wide open, and after a long time he said in an unbelievable voice, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Is this true? The Vedas, the first tribe in the north, have agreed to be incorporated into our Ra?"
"Yes, I set up the bureau myself, don't forget, I had a good friendship with the Vedic Elder Veda Mechi in Ryordianke!" the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his fingers focused on the map on the table
"So the plan has changed, we have changed from the main attack to the auxiliary, this time the Vedas are willing to send 30,000 troops to attack from the western mountains of the Birnes, our task is to drag the main force of the Byrnes to death in these three lines of defense as much as possible"
"What about the Eyre side, how is His Majesty going to deal with the combined forces of the Dorok and the Nords?" Caesar Solon still asked with some unease, Eray is the most critical node of this battle, not only Caesar Solon knows, but the Dorok people on the other side also know that once the Vedas launch an offensive, Dorok's parliamentary coalition will inevitably storm Erey, and then it will be the time of life and death
"If I'm not mistaken, you're only 31 years old this year, why are you starting to suffer from more questions" The fat man rolled his eyes, clapped his palms, and asked the guards outside the door to bring a bottle of Paraven's specialty Domas,
The fat man picked up the wine glass, poured two glasses of wine himself, and handed a glass to Caesar Sauron, who was full of fear, before continuing: "This wine originates from the northern grasslands, and it is the favorite thing for the Kugit people to carry when they graze their horses in winter, because the cold wave of the northern grasslands often freezes people to the point that their whole body is stiff, and if there is no strong wine with them, even people and horses will turn into stiff ice cubes overnight, don't be sad all day long, so that others still think that the five pillars of my Falcon Dynasty are murderers who have gloomy faces all day long and always think about how to kill!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty is still so funny!" Caesar Solon drank a little wine, and his mood relaxed, but he still wanted to ask how to break the siege of Elle
"I'm going to go to Elle myself!" Caesar Zoro couldn't grind it, and the slightly drunk fat man finally let out his bottom
"Didn't they want to storm Eyre? Then I'll show my face, and I'll see who has enough to eat and dare to attack Eyre when I'm visiting!"
"Yes...... What if the Dorok Council had to go their own way?"
"That'...... Then you can come and save me at once!" the fat man lay on the table drunkenly
