606 Battle of Kyoto (1)
In mid-April, the war in Vesa entered a new phase,
The momentum of the attack in the northwest direction of Salander Kyoto, because of the sudden destruction of the navy and the setback of the Yan zhòng of the raiding corps, had to choose to focus the attack on the direction of Hutu Beien,
The ambitious Duke of Berento, under the authority of the Sultan of Salander, gathered more than 40,000 men in front of him and marched towards Hutu Beien, which had only more than 10,000 defenders,
When crossing the open land of about 400 meters long outside the city of Hutu Beien, it was suddenly bombarded by the 10 Thor gates on the head of the city of Hutu Beien, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people, and then in the siege battle, it was shot by 5,000 Veqia crossbowmen who were waiting for work and could not find the north, and lost more than 6,000 people in one day.
The Duke of Brento, who regarded himself as the master of the north, only now found that he was facing not the imaginary northern peasant soldiers, but the undefeated Wikiasian army across the continent.
was so frightened that he shook his head again and again on the spot, "The knights of Ruierdian can't defeat the Vecchia army, what else can I fight?"
Brento gave the order with a cold face, and the generals who were still clamoring for revenge withdrew their troops, and they did not even pack up the bones of the soldiers, and immediately retreated to Kuronze, and the two armies were once again on the line of Kuronze,
This battle made the situation in the north clearer, and the strong military strength suddenly displayed by the Victor Territory shocked the entire North again, and the Russian-German dukes who were trapped in the western mountains were the first to express their willingness to belong to the Victor Lord, and some of the lords who were driven away by the Kyoto army also expressed the same attitude, only some lords on the western coast were still waiting
Just when the army was relatively calm, the sea had already bloomed,
In the battle of Porto Glai, the Vicchia Navy inflicted heavy losses on the Salander Navy, and adopted the tactics of multi-point attacks, launching a large-scale attack and harassment war on Salander Kyoto from the east and west, so that Salander Kyoto, which was already under-armed, was completely in a state of exhaustion.
In order to cope with the attacks of the Vikia Navy on both the east and the west, it had to choose to shrink the land front and put a lot of energy into the defense against attacks from the sea surface
"Whoa!" the sound of floating water came from the bottom of the boat,
Dylans Kelly, Lord of Dylans, looked solemnly at the town shrouded in a smoke-like fog in front of him, there was no one on the streets, some heavy port facilities, just scattered and idle in the water, in the white mist, the lonely spire castle, like a legendary ghost city
Kashiku Port, the largest foreign port in the east of Salander Kyoto, although it is not a military fortress, but its location determines that it must play the same purpose as a military fortress, it happens to be in the throat of Central Salander Kyoto to the eastern sea, it is one of the largest ports on the east coast, and the number of merchant ships that have traveled here in previous years has reached 240, and it once had the title of the Pearl of Salander
In the last raid, three large docks in Burku Harbor were burned down, several large deep-water docking points were demolished, and seven three-masted warships that had been built were towed away
This pair of Saland Kyoto, which has been silently hoping to lick the wounds here and regain the maritime rights one day, is undoubtedly an irreparable heavy blow, you know, there are often several warships docked in a large dock, some are still under construction, and there are also the latest warships that have completed preparations for launching in the near future.
Originally, Salander Kyoto was expecting the investment of these new warships to save the current embarrassing situation of completely undefended seas, but the rapid attack of the Vikia Navy completely violated the conventional tactics of the previous navy and never running long distances in unknown waters
The Dylan Navy swept thousands of troops with a fearless hand, which can be described as a heavy stab on Salander Kyoto, the already soft fatal waist, this time not only the painful Salander Kyoto died and lived, but even the strength to spit out, straighten up and say a cruel word,
A cadre of aggrieved ministers, with a pig's liver face every day, the gate is removed and moved away in front of people, and he has the confidence to fart!
In the western seas, the Hulin people, who are good at raiding, have become a hornet's nest, and the sound of some lords crying for their fathers and mothers almost didn't annoy the Sultan of Salander to death.
From time to time, there is also the Vikia Navy, which staged a full-scale bombardment of Kyoto in the Kyoto Sea of Salander, and within half a month, it blew down the city wall three times, stirring up the whole Kyoto people's panic, and they shivered when they heard the thunder.
Now there is such a group of evil gods who specialize in destruction in the east, and this time they almost killed the old Minister of the Navy Salander.
It is said that if it were not for the ministers of the whole palace kneeling down and pleading, this minister of the navy, who had just been in office for less than half a month, would have been sentenced to be beheaded by order of the Sultan of Salander.
It was a cruel punishment, and it was said that the head of the prisoner was cut off and hung on the city gate for ten years, and the head was often rotten in less than three months.
For the rest of the time, it is necessary to find a new head from the prisoner's family to replace it, and so on, if the time is long enough, the luck is enough, the population is small enough, and the whole clan is not unfounded.
This kind of punishment is divided into one year, three years ago, like ten years, it was definitely a one-person beheading, and the life of the whole family was rarely used even within the Salander Kingdom, and it was often only used when dealing with rebellion, this kind of seemingly graceful punishment, in fact, was obviously a cruel punishment of extermination,
Without the long coastline protected by the navy, this Sultan of Salander,
I feel that I have completely become a long-term meal ticket to the hateful country of Vekia, as long as the other party is hungry, you can run to fight the autumn breeze anytime and anywhere, this is simply a great shame, as long as the other party does not stay for a long time, I can't do anything at all
It is said that the Sultan Xià, who sits in the Kyoto of Salander, has accumulated resentment now, which is not ordinarily powerful, and has reached the point of self-abuse.
Not only did he order the falcons used for hunting in the homes of all the nobles in Kyoto to be killed, but he also put the carcasses of these poor birds on the hanging corners of the corridors of his palace with "owl heads".
I don't know how this Sultan Majesty walks tremblingly and leisurely between these "corpse-ridden" palaces in the company of many beauties and ministers in the stench of these corpses every day
"Mistress! This is a report from the scouts on the shore!" a general Dyrlens walked up from behind Dylan Kelly, his eyes flickering slightly, "According to the traces we deliberately left, Salander Kyoto has learned that we are about to land again, and has mobilized an army of 15,000 men, and is rushing here! Judging from the timing, it will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Well, follow the Grand Duke's orders!"
Dylan Kelly received the information from his subordinates, twisted her two beautiful eyebrows, and waved her hand to the general, "Order all ships to prepare for battle, the shipborne infantry immediately rest the defensive line in the town, and before sunset the day after tomorrow, we must all attract the attention of the Kyoto side as much as possible!"
Standing in front of him, Dylan Kelly was wearing a close-fitting black women's chain mail skirt, rustling by the sea breeze, although she had given birth, it was undeniable that the former first beauty of the Dylan family, was extremely well maintained, her skin was fair and smooth, and she was officially the most attractive golden period of a woman, standing on the bow of the boat, with a graceful posture,
The years have left very few traces on her body, and she looks like she is only 26 or 7 years old.
Because of his position as the patriarch of the Dyrens family, with his wisdom and perseverance, Dyrens became a force that was enough to compete with the Dardanelles, the first family in the south at that time, among the many forces in the south
The inhabitants of Burku Harbor were quickly evacuated, and all the houses were forcibly demolished by Dyrens soldiers, and the roads outside the city were completely blocked with barriers. Heralds running back and forth, galloping through the streets from time to time,
There was a loud noise in the roar of the houses, the stones scattered, the walls collapsed, and the sailors quickly loaded all the broken pieces of the houses onto the warships docked in the harbor.
Giant trebuchets were erected on the deck of the battleship Dylans, long projectiles like giants' arms, with a terrifying hideous countenance, emerging from the thin white mist
In the center of this small city, which has been turned into ruins, there are three small slopes less than 100 meters above sea level, which just form a compact zigzag shape in front and back.
It constituted the most powerful support point to stop the advance of Salander's army. The Dylan hoplites quickly got here, occupying a small slope,
They were swarming down from the decks of more than a dozen ships resisting the harbor with spears in their hands and heavy siege shields, their sharp spears like a cold forest, and the black torrent of Dylans' infantry flooded the ruins in front of them like mercury
As the sun sets, the golden sunlight fills the hills outside the Kyoto of Busaland, and the distant mountains are like daisies, and a white line of the horizon shines with a golden luster in the distance, which is so moving
There was a thin, lonely figure standing silently on the top of the hill outside the city, quietly looking out to the far southeast. His clothes are not flashy, but they are very neat, and they look like uniforms.
Behind him, there is an endless expanse of land, and in the middle of this vast land there is a black dot, which is the city of Salander Kyoto Nagrand.
In the golden rays of the setting sun. The emaciated figure looked particularly lonely in the bright background, and beside him, two personal guards were also lonely, standing far behind him.
