Chapter 131: Unusual Behavior

Barcelus has been branded as a great prince, and it is naturally difficult to gain the trust of Falusi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Barcelus himself could sense Falusi's more or less scruples about him, but this guy was indeed a qualified commander. At least in Barcelus's opinion, Farousi's methods are indeed much stronger than that of the Duke of Casa in the Empire of Light.

At the beginning of the war, he besieged the garrison of the Bright Empire with tens of thousands of troops, although he had the advantage of troops, but this guy did have some talent for war. And when it comes to the decision to kill, this nobleman's temperament is cold, which makes him look a little cold.

The first time Barcelus saw this highness of Farousi, he felt the femininity and indifference in the eyes of this nobleman, and it seemed that he was a little more prosperous than himself, a veteran general in the army!

Although shamans are legendary oracles, their temperament is naturally different from that of ordinary people, which is somewhat similar to the magicians of the Empire of Light. And Barcellus heard that the temper of His Royal Highness the Third Prince was even more strangely tight, and he often issued some strange orders, which made his subordinate officers often overwhelmed.

Half a year ago, when besieging Moduocheng, an important town in the northwest, Faluxi led tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city. He was trapped in Moduo City for two months, until finally the soldiers and civilians in the city ran out of food, and the garrison had to abandon the city and flee.

Falusi set up an ambush outside the city, and the remnants of the thousands of garrisons were almost completely wiped out.

It is said that when the Macedonian army entered the city, thousands of residents in the city had starved to death because of the lack of food! And this Falusi issued a military order at this time, because the garrison of Moduo City refused to surrender before, causing casualties among the warriors of the Macedonian army, so now that the city is broken, all the residents of Moduo City should be slaughtered!

He even searched the whole city looking for musicians who knew the rhythm, saying that he had been in the military for several months and wanted to listen to some music to relieve his fatigue.

Finally, under the performance of several frightened and trembling musicians, this noble man sat upright at the head of the city, drank fine wine, listened to music, and gave the order to slaughter the city.

When his subordinates told Baseileus the news, his heart was suddenly shocked: this third prince is not ruthless in his means, but his heart is also ruthless!

Faluxi besieged the city of Moduo without attacking it, obviously not acting willfully, but worrying about the reinforcements of the Bright Empire. When he learned that the Northwest Army was busy quelling the rebellion and was unable to subdue the cities outside the Guanwai, he relieved himself and attacked Moduo City. And the slaughter of the city is a kind of bloody propaganda, using absolute thunder to deter other cities and make other towns lose the courage to resist!

The fact that the four counties outside the Guanwai fell so quickly also had a lot to do with the bloody policy of Macedonia, after all, if they resist desperately, who knows what terrible moves those barbarians will make?

With such a thought, it will be difficult for the garrisons of the counties to have much faith in resistance.

After the battle of Moduo City, Barcelus was a little more wary of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, in addition to looking at him differently!

That's right, just beware!

Barcelus is by no means an easy character, and he can feel a strong threat from this Farousi! The presence of such a friend and foe always makes him feel a little uneasy. And this guy's bloodthirsty ruthlessness makes Barcelus very jealous.

He was even very suspicious of the third prince's intentions, and let himself follow him on the expedition, I am afraid that it is unknown how many intentions there are in this.

The war lasted for a year, and the Northwest Army was beaten and shrunk into the Moxi Pass, and almost all the towns outside the pass were owned by Macedonia! In such a situation, even the tyrannical and warlike His Highness Falusi was not interested.

More than a month ago, the main Macedonian force assembled at Moxi Pass and confronted the Bright Empire outside Chen Pass. But this was not a signal to advance, because when Barcelus led the Macedonian main force eastward, the Macedonian defenders in the cities outside the pass were also busy mobilizing, and they received the following orders:

Use all means to collect military funds and salaries in local towns and cities! Concentrate on Sadrand County within half a month, and those who fail to do so will be dealt with according to military law!

In other words, order the Macedonian defenders of the cities and counties to plunder the towns and cities and seize the towns and cities by all means!

As a result, for almost a few days, all the major towns outside the border were burned, killed, and looted by the Macedonian garrison! The looted materials and property were continuously concentrated in Sadrand County from the periphery, and several towns could not bear it, and popular uprisings broke out one after another, but they were all bloodily suppressed by the Macedonian army.

In this case, Barcelus naturally also received a military order from Falusi. As a suspicious army, the greater role of the legion he led was to paralyze and deter the Northwest Army in the pass, and the withdrawal order had been issued, so he immediately evacuated Moxi Pass in the starry night.

Baselus and Falusi's plan was to concentrate all their forces and supplies to Sadrand, then leave some troops to hold off the Northwest Army, and then lead the Macedonian main force out of Moxi along the valley corridor, calmly leaving Moxi with the plundered booty.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Northwest Army in Guannai and ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the number of descendants led by Falusi was small, and his task was to clear the road for evacuation. Although Barcellus was reluctant to do this, after all, he couldn't hand over the task of the broken queen to the third prince, so he could only agree with him.

On the night when the main Macedonian forces withdrew, the Moxi Army of the Empire of Light discovered their intentions. Baseiles expected that the Northwest Army would attack with all its might, and according to the information he received, the army stationed in the pass had nearly 80,000 horses, and even if it did not fall out of the city, the pursuers should be at least 50,000, and he only left 10,000 ambush troops at the entrance of the valley corridor to resist the pursuit of the Moxi army.

10,000 against 50,000, as long as the brain is not broken, no one will do this. But Barcelus did just that, but he knew very well that these 10,000 ambush soldiers would cause some trouble to the Moxi army at most, and they could only cause a little trouble.

Baseiles knew very well that he couldn't stop the Northwest Army, and he didn't need to block the Northwest Army for long, all he had to do was buy time.

The Bright Empire's army reacted very quickly, and the Northwest Army pursued it on the night of the retreat. The first to arrive was a cavalry corps of more than 10,000 men, but this was also expected by him. The cavalry was fast and extremely mobile, but the thousands of spearmen in his hands were left to restrain these northwestern cavalry.

Barcelus, who had the advantage of the terrain, arranged for 5,000 spearmen and archers to defend the entrance to the valley, and the high mountains and narrow terrain took advantage of the Macedonian spear phalanx to the extreme. After the Moxi army discovered this Macedonian army, they showed a calmness that surprised Barcelus.

Although they had more than 10,000 iron horsemen, they did not rush to charge, and the opposing general was obviously a smart fellow. A small cavalry regiment of 1,000 men was immediately dispatched, and after several attempts of no light or seriousness, they actually stopped the charge, and instead camped in the valley plain outside the mountain pass.

When Baseileus got this information, not only did he not relax in the slightest, but frowned a little:

What he has to do now is to break the rear, block the Moxi army, and buy time for evacuation, and the other party's generals obviously know their intentions. But at this moment, the Moxi army did not attack its own Macedonian army, but also stopped. I am afraid that the Northwest Army made such an abnormal move...... (To be continued.) )
