The golden sunlight shines down from the clouds, and the milky white light mist covers the earth, and under the blowing of -, the light mist slowly dissipates or gradually rises from the ground, melts away like ice and snow under the sun, and finally disappears on the earth.

On the crisp and clear flat earth, you can see thousands of miles in sight, and on the edge of the connection between heaven and earth, you can faintly see the tumbling clouds, which forms a strong contrast with the calm and comfortable scene here. "Look, that's the Anruod Line!"

Dressed in silver armor, Berlant Bonnie pointed to a thick city wall in the distance with emotion, and said to the fat man next to him, "This is the western section of the border between me and the Nord Kingdom, the highland-like barren plains, the Anruod region that constitutes the four-sided hub, the dry plain wind blows through this land, here is the uplift of the Stilikot Mountains that crosses the southern part of the continent, like a central axis lying on the edge of the southern plain,

Along the Anruod Heights, you can enter the largest grain-producing area of the Nord people to the west, to the south you can contact the outer city of Angus of Nord Kyoto, the political center of the Nord, and to the east you can reach the Pakris Plateau.

"This is probably the reason why the Anruod region is also known as the backbone of the southern plains of the continent!" the fat man asked with a somewhat indifferent expression,

"That's right!" said Bonnie, who looked at him with a coquettish look, "So the Anrod region has always been the focus of the confrontation between the forces of the mainland, and the Ikadivars who have conquered the entire continent since fifteen hundred years ago have swung their troops south,

Five hundred years ago, the people of Ruierdian, who founded the country in the central plains, countless monarchs with great dreams, have had a headache for this central point named Anruod, every time it is mentioned here, there is destined to be a tragic bloody strangulation around this node, whoever occupies Anruod, it is undoubtedly equivalent to knocking on the door to the southern plains of the continent,"

"What about the Ruierdian Kingdom, I should hate this place to the core!" The fat man looked at the long wall in the distance and imagined the countless life-and-death fights that had happened here, and couldn't help but feel some emotion

Bonnie took off her helmet, put her long golden hair over her shoulders, and said with a bit of charm, "In the 500 years from its founding to its fall, there have been 14 wars centered on the Anruod region, and the largest one was forty years ago.

At that time, the Ryordian people, who ruled the central plains, had just completed the war to conquer the central Anka people, and brought all the most fertile central plains on the continent into their rule

Then, in the winter of the same year, in the Battle of the Ice Wolf Valley, the 80,000 main forces of the Nord army, which attempted to move north, unified the continent, and the dawn shone on the heads of the excited Ryordians

"Go south, go south! Let the golden lion flag of Ryerdian flutter at the head of the city of Nord Kyoto" There was a clamor in the country of Ryordian, and the lords from all over the country gathered on the border to the south with their armies

Not only the Rydians, but also other kingdoms on the continent believe that the Ryordians, who have inherited the blood of the Ikadihuas, are likely to carry on the glory of their ancestors and sweep across the continent like the Ikadivars, reunifying the once divided dynasty.

But it's a pity that the birth of a generation of Nord famous generals Crimson Gakang has put an end to the ambition of the Ruierdian people to go south again, and the place where this legend is forged is the famous "Southern Backbone" Anrod,"

"Crimson Gakang, you mean this is where the most famous battle took place?" the fat man's face was stunned, of course he had heard of Crimson Gakang, who was known as a century-old famous general

"Yes, this is where the war known as the Crimson Miracle began!" said Berrant Bonnie, whose eyes lit up and her expression was stern, "It was a classic battle that has been talked about to this day, and which has also made the faces of all Nords glow with excitement and relish,...,

At that time, Anruod's guard officer was none other than Crimson Gakang, a 33-year-old general who was later known as a century-old general, and was going through his most energetic and experienced period.

Hearing the news that the Rui Erdian people were about to go south, the district defense officer, who was playing cards with a note on his face and playing cards with the soldiers, was stunned for a moment, and then only pursed the corners of his mouth, and replied, "I know! How can such a thing be said now, it affects the mood very much!"

There was no reaction, how to live, how to live, a card down to win 5 silver coins, just ran back to report the good news to his wife, there was no sign of preparation or evacuation,

Although the Anrod region is extremely important to the southern plains, it is not a pleasant thing to be stationed here, not to mention the first half of Crimson Gacon's exuding life,

"Is it? Could it be that the first half of this famous general's life is very sad?" the fat man's shallow understanding of the history of the continent, in exchange for a roll of the eyes of Berlante Bonnie, said with emotion, "Since the age of 20, Crimson Gakang has been stationed in this wasteland for 13 years, facing this pure but lifeless land every day, marrying the daughter of a local rich man as his wife, few people here believe that he is a member of the Scarlet family, even if he uses his surname as a guarantee, in exchange for a few words of consolation from his wife

"If it weren't for this unexpected war, he might just spend this life in the unknown" Berlante Bonnie sighed, and said with a gloomy expression, "I heard that this famous general is born with short legs, and he can't keep his balance for a long time when he walks, and he knows at a glance that he is not a fighter's material, plus his appearance is not good, and his body can't jump flexibly in combat training, so as the second son of the Crimson family, Crimson Jiakang's life is far inferior to the elder brother and younger brother who were called the Scarlet Twins at that time,

"Could it be that this famous general with the background of the Crimson family has no advantage at all?" the fat man asked unwillingly, he seemed to hear a trace of admiration for his predecessors from Berrant Bonnie's emotional tone,

Blante Bonnie showed a beautiful smile comparable to spring and said, "At the age of 5, he was sent to the Kyoto Warrior School in the boarding school, at the age of 16 he barely passed with failing his fighting skills, and at the age of 20, he was appointed as a squadron leader of Anjode, a simple and clear resume, just like a man named Hanako who was sent to the border to garrison, and there is no indication of the family's background at all.

And then in this extremely important, but rarely war, where there must be a river of blood, it took Crimson Condo a long 13 years to get promoted from a squadron leader to the position of defense officer in the Anrod area, and he was promoted by surprise before the war, because no one dared to come. Because the military rank of Defense Officer Anruod is the rank of deputy regiment, and Crimson Condo is only a flag commander, and his two younger brothers, who were already appointed as regiment commanders at the age of 23 and 27 respectively, are now his boss's superiors,

"Thank you Anruod! If it was somewhere else, I would have died in battle!" This is Crimson Condo's favorite words to hang on his lips, whenever he talks about this, this witty celebrity always has a bit of a self-deprecating smile, people see the aura of glory after the victory, and rarely notice, the deep helplessness in the self-deprecation

Berlante Bonnie's voice stopped, and she said in a deep tone, "It is said that after staying in this ordinary place for so many years, Crimson Condo has long died and plans to return to Beijing, rather than being ridiculed, it is better to die in this war, so that he can have a good reputation, and the family at least recognizes that he is a descendant of the Crimson family.

However, out of prudence, Crimson Kakang still sent his wife and daughter to the safety of Kyoto.

When his rustic wife and daughter, with a look of disbelief, rode into the golden gate of the famous Scarlet family in Kyoto in a dilapidated carriage,...,

His wife believed for the first time,

The stupid cripple who had been complained about by himself for a few years turned out to be a descendant of a famous family in Kyoto, and after crying bitterly, this woman resolutely left her daughter with the blood of the crimson family behind and returned to Anruod, who was about to become the front line of the war

"Having a wife like this can be regarded as a blessing in the misfortune of this famous general!" Blante Bonnie sighed again, her eyes flickered, as if there was something special about it, and said in a low tone, "It is this woman who changed the whole war, it is said that looking at the wife who came back suddenly, Crimson Gakang, who was waiting for death in An Ruode, was frightened,

In his memoirs, he wrote, if both of them die, what will happen to their daughters? The glory of the family usually rarely finds itself, and this time he also sent a letter to his brother with the heart of death, and the family reluctantly agreed to accept his wife and daughter, but now, what to do!"

"Hehe, it seems that the essence of this famous Nord general is a guy who is afraid of guilt!" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled secretly, and Berlant Bonnie gave him a blank look before he said, "When Crimson Gacon received the battle report that the army of Rui Erdian began to march in different ways, Anrod's guard was only 21,000 men, and the ratio of Rui Erdian's army was 15,

And the reinforcements on the Nord side are only 30,000 people, and they are still being assembled, no one knows when it will arrive, the newly appointed defense officer of Anruod, he turned around and went back directly on the way to take office, and now Anruod is a dead place, no one dares to come, and the Nord military department had to temporarily promote Scarlet Jiakang to a defense officer,

After receiving the information that Rui Erdian's army was drawn one after another, An Ruode made a decision that seemed completely crazy, since he couldn't go, he had to fight.

When this somewhat lame man learned that the Ruierdian army that went south this time was mainly composed of the lord's army, and it was not a unified strategy to march, but an old method of setting a rallying point and then everyone converging in one direction, a crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,

Although the total number of troops has reached an extremely considerable number of 10,000 people, because they are advancing in their own ways, the pace and progress of the advance of the Rui Erdian army are not uniform.

This gave Crimson Gacon, who knew the terrain very well, the opportunity to seize the hope of turning the tables in despair.

In the middle of the night, he secretly transferred the 8,000 most elite Wild Axe warriors under his command from the front of the Anruod defense line to the more remote northeastern mountains, leaving only 13,000 guards behind.

This risky move did not arouse the suspicion of the Rui Erdian, looking at the city wall from under the city wall, this is almost difficult to find the difference, before the completion of the assembly, the Rui Erdian people did not launch an offensive, they are still waiting, waiting for a great victory, because of a palace infighting, the king Xià's trip is half a month later than expected, before the arrival of the king Xià, no one dares to launch an offensive

Similarly, for this reason, the lord's troops are already close to the assembly point, and some of the troops may have just set off from the border, and the armies of hundreds of lords are like a scattered net, pouring into the complex Anruod region at once.

Because of the lack of sufficient dispatch and restraint, most of the lord's army are subordinates or peasant soldiers, and they have always lacked discipline, and this time it is an inevitable march, looting and burning along the way, and from time to time staying on the sidelines, and some of them are fighting with their own people because of the spoils of war, which makes this situation even more chaotic.

Because it was so scattered and as if all the troops were moving, the heralds of the Ryordian Military Department had to search along the road for a long time each time to find the lord who asked for the order

Scarlet Jiakang took advantage of this short period of half a month to vigorously requisition the tenants in the territory to replenish his troops, and directly incorporated the three thousand attendant infantry of the local lord into his own guard, and temporarily cobbled together an army that also looked similar,...,

The Rui Erdian people, who are still dreaming of unifying the continent, don't know that what they are going to face is a desperate situation, crazy, and dare to do anything for their wives and daughters, and the counterattack of a lame person.

July 19 This is a time that has been remembered by both the Nords and the Ryrdian people for decades, it represents the legend of a man named Crimson Condo, on this day, a lord of Ryrdian who was approaching the assembly point, looked at the burned villages around him with some annoyance, and sighed secretly that he was taken a step ahead again.

A shrill whistling sound from the woods on the side of the village caught his attention,

"What's the situation?"

Just as he turned his head in surprise, a dazzling metal smashed from his front,

The sharp and heavy short axe made a graceful and brilliant arc in the air, and the head of the lord with a fine iron helmet was cut open by the battle axe like a squeezed watermelon, and blood splattered everywhere, and bright red blood spurted from the headless chest into the air,

"him!" A loud voice with a crazy smell of 8,000 lightly armed Nord axe warriors lurking in the woods descended from the sky and pounced like beasts on the already frightened army of more than 3,000 lords.

"Kill!" 8,000 Nord lightly armed axemen swooped down from the hillside like an avalanche.8,000 shiny short-handled battle axes smashed down like a storm, a whirlwind, and suddenly burst into the chaotic Ryordian people, countless snow-bright battle axes, flashing a dazzling white light,

"The Nords are coming!", "Help!" The impact of the mighty axe warriors was like a storm sweeping across the earth, and at the moment of contact, like a strong wind blowing down weak grass, the corpses of the Ryordian were scattered all over the ground, and the scattered soldiers fled everywhere,

"It's really vulnerable!" The commander of the Nord axe warriors who led the team, looked at the scattered enemy with disdain, and did not order the troops to pursue, but according to the map in his hand, he rushed towards the next target, and soon he found the next target, these Ruierdian army is too easy to find, as long as there is a village, there are definitely Ruierdian people.

8,000 axe warriors faced the army of Wan Rui Erdian, there was no possibility of a head-on collision at all, but in the face of these lords with a number of 23,000 people, it was a completely suppressive advantage, the small army of the Rui Erdian people was killed and scattered and fled, in just one morning, 17 lords were scattered, and the army of nearly 10,000 or so was defeated before they reached the assembly point,

If according to the modern theory of war, this is to face the enemy who is stronger than himself, he must concentrate his so-called superior forces at a certain point, and turn the disadvantage into an advantage over himself, of course, Crimson Gakang does not understand, but he keenly grasped this only fighter that is beneficial to him, and does not hesitate to expand it infinitely!

It was the second day that the main camp of the Ruierdian people received the news behind the attack by the Ruds.

If the commander of Ruierdian was sober enough at this time, he would find that only a small number of light infantry were chasing, and he only needed to take a strong counterattack to defeat them or even surround and annihilate them completely

But the unconveyed orders, the rout of the army in various places, made many of the Lords of Raldian who did not know the truth completely stunned by the Nord dagget that roared through the camp. Ignorant fear exaggerates the strength of the enemy.

He believed that he had been bitten by the main force of the Nords. In order to gather the scattered troops as much as possible, the military department of Ruierdian could only order the attacked troops to fight on their own, and the rest of the troops only had to rush forward and throw off the pursuing troops.

"Catch up and kill them!"

The 8,000 Nord light axe was like a sharp knife that drilled into the belly of the Rui Erdian army, and fiercely interspersed in the small force of the Rui Erdian people close to the flank, making the Rui Erdian people cry and cry for their mother. The march of the Roude infantry was as fast as a stray arrow. Tightly biting the retreating Rui Erdian rout, just assembled and scattered, if the strong enemy resists resolutely, then immediately retreat, and turn to look for the next breakthrough, the attack is like a hurricane, one blow is over. ...,

Especially when it comes to encountering the baggage team of the Ryordian people. Thousands of axe warriors roared in pursuit, and the Ruierdian infantry guarding the logistics baggage team were slaughtered and scattered, and the baggage wagons of the brigade overturned the roadside indiscriminately, and gold coins and grain were scattered everywhere, and no one picked them up.

"Two hundred thousand Nords have been killed! Hurry up, you will die if you are overtaken!" panic is like a plague, the first to break up is a small army of lords, then an unwitting regular army, and tens of thousands of rout troops begin to spread from the northwest near the mountains to the center. The soldiers, tired and sleepless, lost their minds,

They were peasants, they were screaming and running like crazy, and all they knew was "run away." Escape!" the crowd was rolling, and on the mountain road that was more than ten kilometers long, the defeated soldiers of the Ruierdian people blocked the entire road, and weapons and flags were discarded everywhere.

When His Majesty the king of Rui Erdian arrived, he found that he had unknowingly lost the 40,000 troops of the entire left flank, and the five great lords who fled first were ordered to cut off their land and apologize; Eighteen lords had their heads cut off, and their heads were already hanging high on the beams of the barracks of the main camp of the Ryordian, and hung in a long string;

The first few thousand soldiers to break up were tied up and stuffed into sacks, and two squadrons of heavy cavalry carried out the ruin decree of the Ryordians, which had been extremely cruel since the founding of the country, and the horses were repeatedly trampled on until each sack was reduced to a bag of rotten pulp. Tens of thousands of Ruierdian soldiers watched this spectacular scene in a dense crowd, and all of them turned pale.

But this had no effect on the entire irretrievable battle situation, but was delayed for a month, and by this time, Anrod's defenders had received reinforcements from the rear, and the 20,000 troops brought in had increased to 60,000, which was basically the same as that of the Ruierdians!
