1706 Thundering Spring (2)

In an office of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Congo

The sun shone lightly on the balcony near the curtains, a man of about forty years old, wearing a blue straight non-legion commander uniform, bald, light black skin gave people a feeling of rigidity, and his eyebrows were thick like two ink spots.

He is none other than Mekaya, the commander of the Ninth Army of Gangfei who is known as the last line of defense in Gangfei Kyoto, and as long as he has seen it once, he has left a deep impression on people, a burly, tiger-backed middle-aged man, with clear eyes, full of energy and vitality, standing there like steel

"I just got the news that General Gülen, the guard officer of the Nasda region, has been censored at the border!" Mecaya whispered, her eyes fixed on the increasingly resolute back of the gray-haired old handsome Rubin Sark standing in front of the window,

"Censorship?", Rubinsark looked back in surprise, surprised, "I have never given such an order!"

"It is said that it is Iket, the staff officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs, so I came to ask, knowing that it is not your order, then rest assured" Mekaya said with a respectful expression, "Did Gülen say anything?" Rubin Sark was slightly silent for a while, and asked, "No, it's just a little imprisoned!" Merkaya's eyes flickered, "I'm afraid that Gülen will think that the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to kill people, so I ......"

"Let's stop the investigation immediately, and Gülen is temporarily isolated!"

Rubin Sark frowned slightly, touched his chin with his hand, and said slowly, "This time, we use the abandonment of the entire northern part of Putao as a bait to lure the Falcon Army into the north, firstly, to reduce the pressure on your side, but more importantly, we need to make the Falcon Empire the public enemy of the entire Central European Barrow! The Burrows family captivity point in the Ninestar region is the fuse that makes the Falcon Empire a public enemy! I don't want to hear rumors outside that it is a rumor that the Ministry of Military Affairs has secretly issued a rumor of abandoning all the defenders of the canyon outpost!"

"Rest assured, Gülen is a smart and loyal man! he knows exactly what to say. What should not be said, he has always insisted in the review that it was because he was in too much hurry, so he forgot that so many people and materials need to be evacuated, and this situation is normal!"

Mekaya seemed to think of something, and said with a strange expression, "The subordinates are just worried, what if the Falcon Army doesn't step into this trap?"

"Won't"

Rubin Sark looked extremely confident and waved his hand, "According to intelligence, the troops of the Falcon Empire on the battlefield of Putao are the worst in military discipline, although their combat power is strong. It's the predatory steppe cavalry, you can think about it, what it would be like if these brutal steppe people found the canyon outpost where women gathered, hundreds of beautiful female knights, and the witches of the Turit family, who are known for their beauty and charm, these steppe people will never let go, even if the Vekia Falcon finds out and wants to stop it, I'm afraid that by the time the order arrives, it's already over. When the time comes, the witches of the Turit family will be insulted, and the Falcon Empire will be the public enemy of the entire Central European Barrow!"

"That's right, but there's still one of us who aren't our own!" Mecaya bowed her head. The expression is slightly gloomy, this strategy is indeed vicious, and it may even reverse the current situation of the battle in one fell swoop.

Rubinsark's gaze fluctuated slightly. Quickly turned cold, looked at Mekaya, and said slowly, "As the current commander of the Ninth Legion of the Empire. You should understand that without sacrifice, there can be no victory! It is not justice that protects the country, but all kinds of means. This is not a bedside story I heard as a child: the beautiful outcome of the victory of good and the defeat of evil. Behind the state lies a deliberate plan. There is nothing to feel guilty about, tolerate sacrifice, isn't this the famous saying of the ancestor of the predecessor of the Ninth Regiment!"

Mecaya's face became complicated, this is a well-known sentence in Gangfei, and the source of this sentence is Gangfei Ninth Legion, or the predecessor of the Ninth Legion, the Fifth Laguera Heavy Rifle Regiment directly under Emperor Gangfei,

This regiment was originally formed sixty years ago in the Battle of the King

At that time, the two princes of Gangfei fought for the throne of the emperor, one of the princes occupied Kyoto, claiming that he was orthodox and the enemy was a rebel, while the other prince brought in the help of 15,000 cavalry of the powerful Herwin tribe.

The prince who occupied Kyoto sent envoys to recruit volunteers in various places in the name of orthodoxy, and it was at that time that the Ragra people participated in the United Army of the King as a reserve, and at the beginning of the war, the soldiers in the Raguera area were not favored by the superiors, and the Raguera people have always been fierce, short-tempered, drunk, fighting, disobeying orders and other incidents are frequent, and there are even bad incidents of robbing friendly supplies, these temporarily recruited Laguera people were ordered to be restricted from being equipped with melee weapons, and used as logistics troops,

The nobles in the upper echelons felt that these Raguelas were not trustworthy: "A bunch of undisciplined barbarians, everyone knows that the Raguels have no loyalty at all, and they will even turn around and sell their neighbor's chicken for the sake of one of the other's copper plates!"

At the military council, few nobles spoke favorably for the infantry regiments of the Raguera region, except for one person, the famous general Aristide, who was later hailed as a loyal minister of Bandang,

"Since you don't worry about the Ragueras, then leave it to me, I don't care anyway!"

At this moment, in fact, he is still worried about his situation,

He was born in the countryside of the little noble, thought that he would do nothing for a lifetime, but the battle of the king unexpectedly awakened the ambition of this little nobleman, in order to express his loyalty to the first king, he was crazy before leaving, ordered to burn his manor, with a dozen soulless servants and farmers rushed to participate in the army of the king, participated in a few not very good battles, and obtained a little bit of small achievements, in the eyes of those nobles with titles, this is a small country nobleman who wants to get rich, if it were not for his determination to burn down his manor, he may have been driven away by this mixed merit!

"Sure enough, like gathers like things!"

The aristocrats looked at him with contempt, but Aristide didn't care, he had his own plans, the Ragra people were indeed unreliable, but the number was as few as seven thousand, which was like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat for Aristide who urgently needed to show his stage,

Aristide struggled to convince the upper echelons of the pro-royal coalition. And he swore that "I will train these Ragra people into qualified warriors!" 7,000 more soldiers is better than 7,000 more enemies!"

"People can give it to you, but you have to find the weapons yourself, whose troops are responsible, this is tradition!" agreed the Combine high-brass brass

Aristides was overjoyed and uncontrollably excited, he became the first commander of the infantry regiment, and he first bribed the quartermaster with 100 gold coins, and he had already been familiar with the storehouse guards, knowing that there happened to be a large number of obsolete uniform spears in the warehouse.

Because of the long storage in the warehouse, the wood from which the spears were made could not see the sun, and the warehouses were dark and damp, the wooden handles of these spears were moldy, and no regular army would need such a disgraceful weapon, even the coercive troops who followed the regular army, did not need these moldy and spoiled things, and the quartermaster had classified these as burned, and reported the matter to the authorities. With a bribe of 100 gold coins, the quartermaster agreed to get rid of all this excess at the price of buying and selling wood,

These inferior spears were rationed to the Lagra Infantry Regiment! Like garbage to garbage! Mockery from other infantry units could be heard continuously. Although he knew that they were all inferior goods, the first commander, Aristide, gained the trust of the Ragueras

The infantry regiment of 7,000 men was 300 more than the largest number of troops directly under the 1st Infantry Regiment at that time.

The final battle has finally arrived. The Herwin cavalry of the rebels almost broke the troops on the left flank, tearing apart the array of the Gangnon army, and the infantry of the nobles was beaten all over the hills. The flanks of the entire army were completely exposed, and everyone thought that Gangfei would fail,

Except for the prince's own troops, the armies of the nobles were all retreating, and only Aristi drew his command sword fearlessly, and knelt down on one knee in front of the prince whose face was white in a hurry, "Please send my troops up!"

"Go ahead!"

The future Emperor Gangfei is also sick and rushed to the hospital, who cares whether this famous local spear regiment is really useful now, at least it can buy a little time for the retreat!

The charging enemy slapped on the crumbling defense line like a wave, and the Ragra people who went to the battlefield for the first time stubbornly leaned against each other, and the dense array of spears in their hands blocked the barbarian cavalry's charge again and again, which was an extremely tragic battle,

Blood stained the earth red, and the corpses of men and horses piled up more than a meter high in front of the gun array, like a huge circle around this infantry regiment,

In the mountains where the Ragra people were defending, the barbarian cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the Ragra people also suffered numerous casualties.

But no one retreated, even if they were trampled by the swarm of war horses, the Ragra people who were screaming would use all their strength to pounce on any enemy who rushed into the spear array, biting with their teeth and picking with their fingers, as if the magic barrier was crazy, this terrible scene, the Herwin cavalry who wanted to sweep the battlefield fell short, they paid the price of 3,000 men on this hill, but did not make the slightest progress, and the morale of the combined army quickly rose

The retreating nobles returned with their armies for six hours, until the main force of the rebels was routed by the Imperial forces in front of them, and the Lagras, who had gone mad, remained in their positions

Of the 7,000-man spear regiment, less than a tenth survived in the end,

But the infantry regiment was miraculously not routed, not even a single deserter, the corpses lay all over the hillside, and the mournful cries of the soldiers spread through the night

In order to prevent everyone from dying in their hometown, every family in the Raguera region tried to send their men to the imperial army, hoping to leave this place of death as soon as possible and avoid the plague, in order to leave the last seed, even some teenagers who were just over twelve years old also concealed their age to enter the army, and there were women dressed as men!

These Ragra people will not retreat because they are all their relatives, friends, fathers and sons, and lovers who are fighting together! Once they retreat, the army is shaken, the enemy cavalry swarms and rushes, and everyone will end up with only one dead end!

In order to survive, everyone is fighting to the death, and even cowards can become warriors! Winning the chips, later chroniclers commented on the battle that made him famous,

"For the sake of victory, sacrifice can be tolerated!"

In the subsequent counterinsurgency, the enemy on the opposite side trembled as long as they saw the battle flag of this infantry regiment, the Lagera infantry regiment, the immortal regiment!

As a reward for the Lageras, Emperor Gangfei announced the abolition of taxes in the Lagera region for fifty years after the war, and announced the permanent retention of the infantry regiment that had saved the war. Thirty years later, this highly successful infantry regiment once again won a key victory in the Southern War, and the directly subordinate Laguera Infantry Regiment was expanded into the Ninth Army of the Empire.

Just as Rubin Sack and Mekaya were quietly waiting for the Falcon to carry out a canyon tragedy that would anger the whole of Central Europe, surprising news came from the border. The expectation of the two of them was disappointed for a moment, "What did you say? Icatur brought back the female knights in the canyon safely?" Rubinsark's cold face was as if it had just been blown by a cold wind, how was this possible!

"Get General Merkaya!" Rubin Sark sat down in his seat and ordered the guard at the door, a little confused. Why did the brutal Falcon army let go of such an opportunity, didn't it mean that these steppe cavalry were burning, killing and looting and doing everything? Could it be that they all became saints all of a sudden?

Soon, Mecaya appeared at the door,

"What's wrong. Your Excellency!" Merkaya looked curiously at the depressed Rubin Sark, who was in charge of the Imperial military. has always given people an image that will never be destroyed, but now, this gray-haired old man rarely shows a trace of fatigue,

"The plan failed, Icatur went to the Canyon Outpost, and brought everyone back!" Rubin Sark looked up and snorted in dissatisfaction, "I don't know how he did it, it's incredible!" "What should we do now"

Mecaya's expression became more and more solemn when he heard that the plan had failed, and he raised his head to look at the map on the wall, and said worriedly. After the Falcon Army fully occupies the northern part of Putao, it has a strategic foothold to launch a full-scale offensive against Gangfei, and the most terrible thing is that our border with Putao is more than 200 miles long, and the defensive forces are strict and insufficient, and there are loopholes everywhere, and once attacked, they will immediately collapse, and behind the border is the land of the empire, and the people there are also the subjects of the empire, not like Putao can be discarded at any time!"

"yes, it's like being held to the neck with a dagger! It's so close, there's no room for it!"

Rubin Sark rubbed his temples painfully, "From the moment of view, there are only two ways, one is to immediately sue for peace with the Falcon Empire, which is only afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not agree, and the Falcon Empire may not be willing to negotiate again, the other way is to ......" Rubin Sark put down his hand and stopped in a slightly hoarse voice

"What is it?" asked Mekaya curiously

"Move to Beijing!" Rubin Sack said in a heavy tone, "Now only by moving to Beijing can it be possible to avoid this crisis of burning eyebrows, and as the empire of Kyoto, even if there is no defeat of Putao at present, it is quite bad, the navy of the Falcon Empire can shell Kyoto at any time, and once the army of the Falcon Empire lands, it can reach Kyoto within a day, which leads us to be very passive in terms of strategy, and move Kyoto into the well-protected inland Anize Province......

From the first sight of this woman, the fat man can feel that the other party is not so much a witch, but more of an ascetic who is diligent in pure cultivation, very good at controlling his own feelings, Qingli Yurong is seven or eight points similar to Turit Colin,

The gorgeous and dignified appearance has a great contrast with the quiet and water-stopping mind.

The fat man looked at the woman opposite who was shrouded in a long and wide black robe, the head of the Turit family, the biological mother of Turit Colin, the double superimposed identity, more and more people couldn't understand the real thoughts of this woman, it wasn't the black robe, no one would believe that she was a witch or something.

Tens of thousands of cavalry completely controlled the valley, and the outside was silent and murderous, and after learning that the head of the house was actually Turit Colin's biological mother, the fat man could only choose a more polite attitude, "You are the Falcon of Vekia? The Emperor of the Falcon Empire! Colleen once mentioned it, but"

The middle-aged woman looked at the fat man with a stunned expression, her deep eyes were purple like Turit Colin, purple like the sea before the dawn appeared, the scale of the room was not large, small and delicate in the style of the nobility, the furniture was cleaned up, the walls and floor were spotless, in the middle of the room was a bench that had turned dark gray because of its age, and in the middle was a wooden table of the same old, a kettle with a patterned clay pot and four terracotta teacups.

On the other side of the room was the humble bedroom, with only a brick bed covered with a straw mat and white sheets, and the fat man would not have believed that this was the bedroom of the head of the Turit family if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

As the core of the super-wealthy Burrows family, the Turit family represents dark power and incredible power, which does not match what is seen in front of you at all (to be continued......
