2146 Blood Double Cross (5)
The red sun rose from the opposite side of the ocean, illuminating the beach in front of him, the Iranian army that turned in from the direction of the river stopped here, the metal reflection under the sunlight made all the eyes become dazzling, and when they saw the scene in front of them, the sound of Qi Qi gasping for cold air came one after another, only to see that the beach was full of weapons, armor, shields, for the Iranian army that had just fought a battle from the line of death, it was as excited as chicken blood, these supplies came from the imperial transport ships docked near the coast, huge sails, docked on the shoreline side like a forest, and the entire beach was full of people coming and going,
One of the empty Imperial transports staggered away from the shore, while the other came to a halt, and the sailors erected pulley hangers and unloaded the loads of tons of supplies from the deck of the transport, while they were on the beach. Large and small supplies have been piled up, and the eyes of the generals who watched it lit up
"Lord Hukochili, what is this?" the veteran Moses gasped and asked Hukochili, the military minister of the Falcon Empire next to him, on his horse
"This is given to you by His Majesty, or rather, this is your own!" Hu Keqili sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Since I led the army to the coast, the transport fleet began to prepare, a little hasty, please don't laugh, enough for the 100,000 army to consume for fifteen days, 20,000 sets of armor, shields, weapons, you should see, these weapons and equipment are the standard armaments that you discarded when you broke all the way, and now the things are returned to their original owners, this is the sincerity of our Majesty!" As I said before, we don't have the idea of sending you to your death, we are allies now, we have a common enemy, and as long as we share a happy house, you will not have a problem returning home. It's just that now the internal turmoil in Istanbul is unstable, and it's not a good thing for you to go back now, so my majesty specially explained, and asked you to stay here first, and wait until the situation in the Istanbul Empire is stable, and it's not too late for you to go back!"
"Ally, my lord said with a smile, I, Moses, am not old enough to even know myself! This heart of His Majesty the Falcon, I will wait for my heart to understand!" Moses raised the horsewhip in his hand with a wry smile. Gazing at the mountains of supplies piled up on the beach, he said, "If it is the Iraqi army where His Majesty the Emperor is still there, His Majesty Falcon will treat it as an ally, which is reasonable, now, we are similar to a lost dog, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has abandoned us, if it is not for the timely rescue of the adults, I am afraid that at this moment, my Moses's head has been hung on the battle flag of Fei Shanjin." Please tell me bluntly, what does His Majesty the Falcon want us to do?" "Yes, the lost dog!" Someone in the surrounding generals muttered to themselves, and there was a sudden silence.
The generals' faces showed a little bleakness, they fought for the north and south of the Istanbul Empire, and the battle flag was to be followed to the death. How many times did they get up from the pile of dead people, picked up their weapons and rushed up again, and the enemy's sword did not kill them. Unexpectedly, the final result was abandoned by his own people, the emperor died, the crown prince ran away, and the once invincible proud son of the army suddenly became an abandoned son who was abandoned at will.
Hukochili's gaze swept over the gray faces of the generals, and he felt the suppressed sadness of the Iranian army, and took a deep breath and said, "I dare to say that giving up on you is the biggest mistake of that foolish crown prince in his life! As for what the Empire has for you, I can say very frankly that it is to fight the Fishans with the Empire, if this is also a bad intention, then it is better for me to say nothing." Haha, Lord Hukochili is really funny, I, Istan and Faisan are enemies for a hundred years, if we are fighting with Faysan, we are naturally obliged" The veteran Moses's frowning eyebrows slowly loosened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, I understand,
The Falcon Empire sent troops to defeat the Faisan army and pulled back hundreds of thousands of abandoned Iraqi soldiers from the death line, this kindness was also remembered by himself, he had a premonition that the purpose of the empire to save the Istan army should be because of the need to contain the power of the Feishan people, but he didn't expect that the empire would throw such an irresistible bait and fight Feishan together, which is much more tempting than the direct naked threat of force,
If the empire really showed force to make the Iranian army cannon fodder, although the Iranian army complained, it had to submit
After all, in this land, except for the Falcon Empire, these more than 100,000 abandoned soldiers of the Iraqi Army will not receive any assistance, if they want to survive, if they want to not be forced into a dead end again by the Fishers. Even if he was humiliated, he could only endure it, but from the perspective of the dignity of the soldiers, he would more or less resist, and he would naturally put the Falcon Empire and Fei Shanjin in the same position in his heart, and now the empire put forward such a purpose, but it made the generals below the veteran Moses all let go of their inner worries, although they also went to be cannon fodder, but after all, they gave the necessary materials and weapons, at least not to let everyone die in vain!
You know, on the battlefield of Obarro, especially in the traditional customs of the Istanbul Empire, it is really normal to let slaves and captives serve as flesh and blood cannon fodder for the enemy's strength before the war, and the Falcon Empire, it seems that there is no idea of letting everyone go to death in vain, materials, weapons, and war readiness are all available, this is enough, isn't it just fighting against the Feshans? As long as there is material support, combat readiness replacement, and backup supplies, everyone is the elite of a hundred battles under the command of Emperor Soladin, and they have also overwhelmed the Fishan army, will they still be afraid of the Fishan people, but they have just returned to the state before the collapse
Thinking of that collapse, everyone's hearts were piercing soul-piercing chills, the emperor's unexpected disappearance, the comprehensive collapse of the command of the top command, the collapse of the whole army that was difficult to control, the all-out counterattack of the Fei Shan army, and the crown prince's categorical discarding of the Third and Fifth Army Corps, which made most of the generals chill, no one was willing to fight to the death, and everyone arrived with the order to retreat and give up, and the situation that had been advantageous collapsed all at once, and many important towns that controlled the key points were given to the Fei Shan army without blood, like a huge fishing net。 It was gradually tightened, and the army completely lost its fighting state as it should be
It was like a nightmare for more than half a month, and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops who had swept through Obaro locked themselves in this way, one army after another was defeated, and one team after another was divided and surrounded by Fessan's army, and a third of the more than 300,000 troops were lost, and the remaining troops were also dragged into the quagmire area of mortality. If it weren't for the fact that everyone risked their lives to fight at the last moment, the horses' hooves of Faysan's Seventh Army would have stepped into the mud by now! Not to mention, in the Battle of the River, the Falcon Imperial Army showed great combat power, completely annihilating the seven and eighth two legions of Faysan, and beheading more than 80,000, which made the entire army of Istan fiercely let out a bitter resentment of being chased behind the ass and beaten.
The restoration of the morale of the army is visible to the naked eye, the faces of the soldiers are newly rejuvenated with confidence, and the voices of the officers who are scolding back and forth are also emboldened, even the generals. The waist on the horseback was much straighter, not as depressed as the end had come a few days ago, and there was a silence waiting for death, although it was far from being under the emperor. There is still a long way to go in the heyday of invincibleness, but the gap is not very far.
The faces of the generals also showed an unconcealed cheer up. As a Fei San soldier, from the reversal of the battle situation to being abandoned, being chased and killed by the Fei San army all the way, watching his subordinates being slaughtered and killed, scattered, defeated, and forced to death, the depression and grievance in their hearts can be imagined, but for the crown prince's decision, they dare not say anything blatantly, because they are Fei San soldiers,
At this moment, hearing Hu Keqili say this, everyone's heart felt a refreshing relief,
That's really a stupid crown prince, and I don't know how His Majesty Soladin chose such an unresponsible successor, even if the situation is unfavorable, and even to the point of crisis, this crown prince's behavior of discarding more than 100,000 imperial soldiers in order to protect himself is enough to make everyone feel indignant, and without the army, even if this crown prince can return to the empire, what can he do?" Okay, you should immediately arrange for people to accept these materials, otherwise these materials will always be placed like this, and if Your Majesty Falcon sees it, I will be miserable!"
Hukochili smiled at the corner of his mouth, so many supplies, now so concentrated on this beach, this scene is indeed a bit spectacular, even the well-informed Hukochili is also a little shocked, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, this hand of the Falcon Majesty can be regarded as completely removing the vigilance of the Iraqi army, and he did not hesitate to be tied to the galloping chariot by the empire, on the one hand, to fight with Feshan, on the other hand, to suppress Triland Island, the empire's insufficient troops in the coastal area is an unavoidable hard injury, but if there is the surrender of these hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops, it is another matter"Haha!" The generals looked uplifted, laughed, and hurriedly resigned to their respective units to arrange for people to receive supplies, "General Moses, I won't disturb your army here, Your Majesty is still waiting for me to go back and deliver the order!" Hu Keqili saluted Moses and said, "In three days, the Imperial side will arrange for the liaison officer to come over, these days, your army can reorganize and rest here, and more supplies will be shipped one after another!" Lord Hukochili, to tell you the truth, aren't you afraid that our army will regret it after getting these supplies?" Moses waited until everyone dispersed, the old and deep eyes flashed, just now all the generals were there, now that everyone is scattered, he dared to ask such a question, in his mind, this important minister of the Falcon Empire is an admirable person, not only a fierce general who fights like the wind, but also a first-class diplomat, in less than a day, he has firmly grasped the minds of the Islamic army, and it seems that he is still a very open-minded person, otherwise Moses would never dare to ask such a question
Sure enough, the important minister of the Falcon Empire only smiled slightly at this difficult question, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the group of imperial transports scattered near the coast, and said, "General Moses, in your eyes, what are these transports you see?" "Transports?" Moses' eyebrows were frowned together, his eyes looked in the direction of the coast, the masts were lined up, the white sails were blue and the sea was blue, very shocking, but what did it represent, Moses shook his head unconsciously, he was an army general, and he didn't understand naval affairs, and the Istanbul Empire had never put the navy in his eyes, even the eloquent Soladin I, only after seeing the rise of the Falcon Empire's navy, did he have the idea of forming an imperial navy, but the empire trusted the rebellion of the head of the navy, Rui Shabaqi, and completely strangled the naval concept of the Istan people in the cradle, "This is the transportation force! Now the entire sea area belongs to the Empire, and with these transport ships, the Empire can fight whenever it wants. If you want to go, you can go! Fei Shan can only stare dryly!" Hu Keqili's eyes flashed, and he said categorically, "On the contrary, how does your army deal with the predicament?" "This!"
Moses's face changed, that's right! According to the transportation power displayed by the Falcon Empire's navy, it is absolutely easy to accomplish such a task, but what should more than 100,000 Iraqi troops do? The backup is cut off, and there is no hope of returning home, just think about the despair that pervades the whole army some time ago, you can know what a terrible and catastrophic consequence it will be!" I hope General Moses can know that from beginning to end, your army is not fighting for the Empire. It's fighting for yourself!" Hukochili sighed and said, "The empire can do it for a short time if it wants to. Drain all the forces in the coastal area, so it doesn't matter to the empire whether your army will regret it or not"
"On the contrary, it is the consequence of your army's repentance" Hu Keqili's voice paused, his eyes swept over Moses' somewhat pale old face, and his tone revealed a bit of hideousness, "In the absence of any backup, alone in the face of Fei Shan's all-out counterattack of hundreds of thousands of main forces! At that time, your army is afraid that it will really be powerless to return to the sky!" "Please also ask General Moses to see this clearly." Don't make a mistake for yourself!" Hukochili's voice sank, and he raised his hand forcefully, "Let's go" and galloped away.
The Imperial cavalry behind him turned to follow, and the earth roared. The horses' hooves raise a cloud of dust,
On the beach, Iranian soldiers were busy carrying supplies, and many soldiers gathered around the navy's wheel axles. Curious pointing, you say, so heavy something. How did it get so easily lifted by a few small brackets? And so much material. Is the Falcon Empire really willing to give it to us? And there are so many huge transport ships, how many people can be loaded at one time? The soldiers of the Iraqi Army were full of curiosity, as if they were dreamy, and they couldn't believe it, only Moses was alone on the horse, and the fingers holding the horsewhip turned white because of the excessive force, and a sense of powerlessness churned in his heart, which was an undisguised use, but he didn't even have the courage to refuse......
The central province of Fesan, the city of Eide, this is a medium-sized city, the population of 50,000, the extension of the city is like a cross of the river fork, is one of the core areas of the central strategy of the kingdom of Fesan, from the upstream rolling from the south of the Aristi River and the middle of another large river Poplu River intersection here, the torrent of the tumbling river violently hit the ridge on both sides of the river, the whole city is almost gradually established by virtue of this crossroads," It's impossible, these guys from the Ministry of Military Affairs, are they giving such bastard orders to the map every day?"
On the tallest tower of the outer wall of Ed City, Count Vincent, a somewhat bald Elder regional official, threw the report in his hand on the table with a headache, as the most important hub of the central waterway, Ed has always been synonymous with the commercial prosperity of the Fishan Kingdom, even in times of war, it is also responsible for the material operation of the Fishan army, and there is an endless stream of transport ships coming and going every day,
However, some time ago, the torrential rain brought the water flow of the two rivers to soar, which directly affected the transportation of materials, and the flood not only washed away the wharf, but also caused the nearby area to suddenly become a flooded country, in this case, to repair the wharf within five days according to the requirements of the Ministry of Military Affairs, it is simply an impossible task.
But the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs is here, this is a military order, now it is wartime, the consequences of disobeying the military order are not something that a person in charge of the garrison can bear, five days is too short, if it is all sunny, it will be easy to do, but if it rains, what should I do! Count Vincent shouted to the guards at the gate with an angry face, "Someone, immediately convey my order, everyone go to the dock, and be sure to repair the washed dock within five days!" He was a local, so he knew how reluctant it was to repair the old pier during the high waters
"No kidding, it's an order, you know, don't do it yet! Believe it or not, I'll peel off your skin and hang it at the city gate!"
Vincent roared angrily, and the guards hurriedly ran out of the scolded fart, and at this moment, a guard was running eagerly from the opposite side, "snapping" one did not pay attention, or it may have been too nervous, the two guards actually collided together, and suddenly became a rolling gourd, and the wolf let out a miserable scream
"What's the matter, what's the need to be so anxious!" Count Vincent was furious and wanted to walk over, but the voice of the guard stopped him, "My lord, river...... The fork in the river, go and see it!"
"What's wrong with the fork in the river?"
Count Vincent was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked to the window, from that position he could see the fork of the river, just the moment he came to the window and looked at the fork of the river, his pupils immediately couldn't help but constrict to a small point, his body trembled violently, and the corners of his mouth murmured unnaturally
"What's that?" Because it was too far away to see the specifics, Count Vincent's eyes were full of differences, and the voice of the guard came from behind him, "My lord, it's corpses, the whole direction of the Aristi River is full of corpses, and there are too many to count!"
I saw that the fork in the river channel with the rushing torrent had completely changed its appearance at this time, and the flood torrent was more violent, and the reason for this qiē was that the wide fork was blocked by countless floating objects.
The already narrow fork of the river became narrower, and even made a deafening roaring sound, countless objects rose and fell in the rapids, and at the intersection in front of the fork, it was like a huge pot of fuel poured into the river, and the red that spread with no end in sight was rolling with the water, pouring into the fork of the river like a cross, like a huge blood cross, imprinted on the earth, shocking (to be continued......
