The "Tielan Rebellion" in winter was a landmark event at the end of the Gallic Empire, the northern army of the Gallic Empire launched a counterattack at a critical moment, completely shattered the hope of resistance in Gaul and Kyoto, and the strong Kyoto defense line was torn apart by the imperial army overnight in this rebellion, and the 100,000 troops led by the first emperor of the empire, Dustan, approached the hinterland of Gallic Kyoto, which was the first time that the empire truly realized the strategic encirclement of Gallic Kyoto - excerpt from the Falcon Imperial Military Research Institute, "A Brief History of Imperial Wars, Volume 5, Gallic Chapter"

Under the city of Vernon, Tielan was dressed in silver shining heavy armor, with a pure blue cloak draped from his shoulders to the ground behind him, at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from Vernon, looking at the countless towering arrows in front of the opposite city, he raised his right hand and waved, a waiter wearing a blue and white sword-striped robe beside him nodded solemnly, raised the pure white double banner in his hand, and continued to move forward alone with trembling,

"Don't let go of the arrows, I'm the messenger!"

The squire looked at the flash of the arrow in front of him that could shoot himself into a hedgehog at any time, and shouted loudly with all his strength while slowly moving forward, and at the time of fifty meters, a cluster of arrows shot from the top of the city, and landed accurately five meters in front of the squire's horse, which frightened the messenger's face pale

"Stop, bastard, you rebels take one step further and I'll shoot you through the throat, I promise!" There was a stern voice from the head of the city, and the messenger raised his head and looked in the direction of the arrow, a strong archer, and next to him was a general in blue velvet armor,

The messenger gritted his teeth. Hysterically, he opened his throat and shouted, "May I ask if the Marquis of Gia is here, my lord Tielan has asked for an interview! We have no malice, and we are not rebels! We are the Kyoto Army! We are not enemies!" "What is the proof of your words, how do I know that you are not lying to us!" The strong man on the city wall glanced at the general next to him, and continued to ask after getting his approval

"I have an army of 110,000 behind me, and you have only 5,000. If we were rebels, we would have started to attack the city a long time ago, even if you are the bravest warriors of the empire, ask yourself, can you withstand the onslaught of the 110,000-strong army?" the messenger took a deep breath, and in order to strengthen his persuasiveness, he boldly responded to the past, "And we are also the Kyoto army, Kyoto is our home, and our relatives and children are all in Kyoto. Do you think we're going to be rebels!"

"There are 110,000 people under the city!"

There was an uproar on the head of the city, and it suddenly quieted down, although they knew that there were a lot of rebels under the city, but it was another thing to really know the specific number, 5,000 people to 110,000 people, absolutely dead can no longer die! Everyone's eyes looked at the Marquis of Gia, with various expectations, under the sight of countless subordinates, the Marquis of Gia's face looked a little embarrassed. He swept his gaze with difficulty over the dense military formation in front of Vernon, a forest of guns, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and responded, "I'm Gia." For the safety of Kyoto, I can't fully trust your words,'

"Well, you let Tielan come over. If he is willing to be a hostage, I will believe you!" said Marquis Gia with a cold face

"Hostage, bastard. How dare the other party let Lord Tielan be a hostage, it's so rude!" The news brought back by the envoy made the generals of the Kyoto Army here scold angrily

"It's okay, I'm going to be a hostage," Tie Lan looked at his general with a calm face and said slowly

"It won't be too long for the Northern Army to be able to stop the cavalry of the Falcon Army, everyone still needs to clear the city gate before they can enter Vernon, there is no time to continue to delay here, I know that Gia is not the kind of person who is used to treachery, and it will not benefit him to do so, as long as I show enough sincerity, there will be no danger!"

"But my lord, what are we going to do if the Falcon breaks through the Northern Army's blockade, and you are holding you hostage in Vernon......" The generals expressed concern with ugly faces

"60,000 Northern Army, how can you withstand two hours!Letting the army into a safe place is the most important problem to be solved now" Tielan waved his hand to stop the generals' arguments, and he walked towards the wall of Vernon surrounded by several guards, not noticing that a black line was rapidly coming towards the back of the 50,000 Gallic Kyoto Army

At the head of Vernon City, seeing Tielan walking towards this side with only a few people, the strong man who had just shot the arrow whispered to the Marquis of Gia next to him, "My lord, it seems that it is really a misunderstanding! Otherwise, Tielan would not have put on such a posture!" "Misunderstanding? Before Tielan enters Vernon and becomes a hostage, we can't relax!" You don't know this guy, it's quite insidious, it's rumored that he slaughtered friendly troops in the Battle of Rusty to seize the battle merits, others don't believe it, I believe it! This guy is a careerist who puts interests first, I can guarantee that there must be some reason why this guy must enter Vernon in a short time, otherwise this guy would have ordered the city to be broken directly!"

"Why?" the strong man was stunned for a moment

"I don't know, there's a problem anyway!" Marquis Gia said with an affirmative expression, "If you have an army of 110,000 under your command, and there are only 5,000 people on your side, will you choose to face the provocation and directly attack the city, or be so reluctant to be harassed! This is not Tielan's style!"

"I'll wave my army to attack the city, it's a big deal to explain it afterwards! 110,000 troops, the law does not blame the people, when the time comes, it will be said that it is everyone's angry move, even if Kyoto wants to investigate it, it will not dare!" The strong man looked down, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "But what should we do now? Do we really want to take Tielan as a hostage? If we investigate it afterwards, it will be very troublesome for us to arbitrarily detain the charges of important military ministers, not to mention that this Tielan is still a despicable and shameless guy, and it will definitely not be just like that!"

"Forget it, forget it, let them go to Vernon! I don't want Tielan as a hostage, while it's not completely irretrievable!" Marquis Gia thought of the terrible consequences of being retaliated by Tielan, his face turned pale, and he turned around to leave through gritted teeth, when he heard the captain of the guard next to him let out a low cry like a defeated cotton, "Oh my God, what is that!"

"What?"

The Marquis of Gia turned around, and the whole person suddenly stayed there. I saw that behind the blue armored Tielan Legion, a long black iron stream jumped rapidly between the vast earth, and quickly and fiercely collided with the back of the Tielan Legion, like a roaring black frenzy collision, in the position of the Marquis of Gia, you can just see the dazzling brilliance of 20,000 cavalry assault bayonets flickering side by side, like a huge silver scythe, like a bird of prey preying on prey swooping down from the sky. The momentum was like an avalanche, and the entire back of the Kyoto army was completely collapsed, and a general of the Kyoto army shouted while running, and the mournful shouts had not yet been shouted, and the surging sound of horses' hooves had drowned out a qiē,

Gallic Kyoto outlying city, Luja,

It is a small city with a history of 1,700 years, and the interior of the city is topped by neatly arranged tiled red walls. Outside the city is surrounded by the Luo River in summer and autumn, and on the top of the hill opposite the city, there is a small castle with white walls and blue roof, under the blue sky and white clouds. Like a dream, looking down from above, the vast land of the red-topped blue river is like a pure dream that cannot bear to be blasphemed. Every autumn, Kyoto aristocrats, large and small, come here in richly decorated carriages and with hordes of servants. They hunted in the mountains, and in order to supply them, the magistrate built a whole row of villas on the mountainside, which is now the base camp of the Falcon Imperial Army against Kyoto,

Since the empire took the initiative to abandon Kyoto's gateway to the rock fort, the retreating troops occupied here, and the Imperial Central Army, the Southern Army, and the Northern Coalition Army, a total of 117,000 troops, who supported the Kyoto line, also quickly converged here from all directions, forming a confrontation situation with the Kyoto gateway wall rock fort twenty miles away.

At present, the one who is presiding over the war in Lu Jia is the head of the five major army commanders of the Falcon Imperial Army, the southern governor of Statunko, who is a rare offensive and defensive among the imperial generals, and may not be as aggressive as the other four army commanders in terms of attack power, but in terms of defense, it can be said that it is watertight.

At this time, he was looking at the situation map in front of him with a solemn expression, his fingers slowly swiped the northern part of the map, his eyebrows frowned slightly, the situation was not optimistic! Isn't it a little too reckless for His Majesty to move his light troops northward! Since His Majesty personally led part of the Central Army to the north of Gaul, the connection between the base camp and His Majesty the Falcon has basically been cut off.

Although there is a connection between carrier pigeons, but because of the impact of distance and cold winter, the communication between information is becoming more and more difficult.

For example, eight days ago, the central army of the Falcon Majesty attacked the important town of Antura in northern Gaul, but the main force of the Gauls in the north narrowly avoided the front and rear attacks carefully arranged by His Majesty, which is not good news.

It is true that the 30,000 northward marching army of Salon, which converged with His Majesty, is brave and good at fighting, but the soldiers who fight are people.

Statúenko did not think that a legion that had been fighting for a month and advancing thousands of miles north alone would still be able to maintain a strong and sufficient combat force, which meant that His Majesty the Falcon needed to divide his forces to defend the important town of Antura, and also to resist the counterattack of an army totaling nearly 200,000 troops in northern Gaul with a limited force.

Even if His Majesty is the god of war of the empire, he will feel a headache.

Statunko's finger focused on the place where the word "Antura" was on the map, the northern city of Antura was not a city that was easy to defend, and the overly large perimeter and the intersection of the two main northern roads, as well as the countless small roads that extended because of these two main roads, greatly increased the difficulty of defending this central hub city

As the commander of the Imperial Army, there are few corps commanders who are proficient in internal affairs, and Statunko knows very well that the original intention of His Majesty's decisive attack on the north is to control the northern part of Gaul, so as to fundamentally and completely cut off the "blood supply" of the northern team of Gaul Kyoto, but the unexpected escape of the main force in the northern part of Gaul made it difficult for all of them.

Even if His Majesty is the god of war, it is simply impossible to defeat the enemy's 200,000 people in a short period of time with 80,000 troops, and to control the north when he has spare strength! At the critical moment, it is still necessary to relieve the pressure on His Majesty from the direction of Biyan Fort!" Statunko said to himself, taking a deep breath of cold breath, the room was very messy, only the rows of bookcases against the wall made the whole room look full of a simple and elegant,

Statunko was not a man who paid much attention to the details of life, and compared to the love of wealth and military glory of other Imperial Army generals, Statunko preferred all kinds of books, his eyes swept out the window, the sun was shining, the black queue was training, the battle flag fluttered like a cloud on the camp wound, and the Southern Army under his command went through the battles of Rusti and Danny in succession. It has already become a well-known empire, a veritable powerful force, and it is also the largest imperial main force that has been ordered to move closer to Gallic Kyoto.

The time of his arrival was October, which was the third day of the fat man's order to abandon the castle, and the order to abandon the castle arrived at the same time as the order to immediately organize his forces and strike the order to attack the Gallic troops from the direction of the fortress, and the morale of the Gallic army after the occupation of the fort was greatly boosted, on the third day. He couldn't wait to mobilize a force of 100,000 people to storm several cities outside the wall-rock fort, in an attempt to expand the support point and completely cut off the possibility of the Falcon Imperial Army besieging Kyoto again, and named this military operation "Imperial Dawn"

Who knew that the 30,000-strong army had just stepped out of the narrow pass outside the defense line of the Wall Rock Fort, and was beaten with blood by the countless crossbows of the southern army group of the empire that had already opened the formation in front.

The 60,000-strong Falcon Empire's Southern Army was completely stunned by the Gauls, who had left thousands of corpses in just half an hour of fighting, and the Kyoto Army was accustomed to passive defense and was completely unsuitable for a frontal battle with the Falcon Army. In front of the dense raindrop of arrows, the dull phalanx infantry fell in pieces, and Derek behind was so frightened that all the bold words were thrown behind his ass, like a man full of calculations and wanted to rob. But as soon as he went out, he was inexplicably beaten with a stick, and even the hooligan whose underwear was pulled out has not dared to show his face for more than ten days.

"It's the ninth day. What the hell is going on in the north?" Statunko looked out the window and fell into a daze

In the early morning, a white mist fills the city's grid-like stone pavement, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves shatters the silence. A herald wearing light chain mail, from the city gate position in a hurry, the lower edge of his armor has some tide stains, that is the traces of the morning fog wet, because of the continuous whipping of the war horse on the road, his arms and body are the sewage raised by the horse's hooves, after galloping into the villa area where the base camp is located, "war report!" The herald cavalry held the battle report in his hand and galloped all the way, and the loud sound shook all the rooms,

"Battle report?"

Several officers on duty on the side of the road turned their heads almost at the same time, and an adjutant chief who was in charge of confidential transmission quickly walked out at the door of the floor where the base camp was located, and he took the battle report from the herald, and the red battle report made his face show a hint of surprise, big red, this is a sign of victory, the current war of the empire is only here and in the northern region, is it ...... The adjutant seemed to think of something, and his face changed, "It's hard work!" The adjutant nodded to the herald cavalry, and shouted to the nearby guards, "Longge, you take this brother down to rest, you must be well entertained!"

The adjutant turned around and walked into the floor of the base camp, not daring to delay in the slightest, trotting all the way to Statunko's room,

"My lord, the latest battle report!"

Just as Statunko was depressed and wondering whether to provoke the enemy on the side of the wallrock fort, the door of the office was pushed open.

The adjutant general, dressed in a crisp black military uniform and holding a letter he had just received, hurried over,

The last time the base camp received a letter was eight days ago, it would be false to say that it was not nervous, even the adjutant general thought that this time the Falcon Majesty led the central army to suddenly turn to the north, it was a bit too rash, and the current stalemate in the battle situation in Kyoto will not change because of the competition for the northern region,

Although a large amount of supplies from the northern part of Gaul Kyoto came from the north of Gaul, it did not mean that the impact of the fall of the north would soon affect the side of Gaul Kyoto, because Gaul Kyoto had just pulled the four consuls in the east to its chariot, and even if there was no north, there was still the east that could support it in a short time.

Although the Gallic beast is scarred, in the current situation, it is not a problem to survive this winter!

"Battle report!" Statunko looked at the dazzling red above, his expression was shocked, he quickly opened it, his eyes swept over, and he suddenly gasped, my God!

"What's the matter, my lord!" the adjutant asked in a quiet voice, carefully picking up the battle report on the ground, handing it to Statunko

"See for yourself, although I don't know how to do it, but His Majesty has already taken control of northern Gaul" Statunko calmed down and was shocked in his heart, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and stuffed the battle report to the adjutant with a confused face, "And also took advantage of the situation, beheaded 50,000 Gallic Kyoto troops, and captured Vernon, the gateway city in the north of Gallic Kyoto! Completed our strategic layout of attacking from both sides in the northwest of Gallic Kyoto! The Gauls will definitely go crazy this time!"

"This ...... How is that possible!" The adjutant chief's hand holding the battle report trembled, with a ghostly look on his face, he carefully swept the words on the battle report one by one, that's right, the war report said that His Majesty did control the north, occupied Vernon, and completed the siege!

"How did you do that?" the Adjutant General looked up at Statunko with a dull face

"Don't ask me, I don't know!" The corners of Statunko's mouth widened, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "As the god of the imperial army, Falcon is invincible, invincible, invincible, facing 200,000 northern Gallic troops, it is not impossible to take northern Gaul, but he also took Vernon, the gateway to the northern region of Gaul Kyoto, in one fell swoop, to be honest, it can only be described as a miracle!"
