2165 Blood Double Cross (24)

The delay expected by Gledat did not appear, because of the wrong assessment of the opponent's strength, although Helena's five thousand defenders fought desperately, but they also held on for less than a morning, the emperor's front army, easily crossed the Helena barrier that was expected to be strangled by a hard battle, the rain became heavier and heavier, washing above the solid stones, like a crystal clear flower blooming, red human blood mixed in the rain along the height of the city wall into the waterfall flowed on the solid granite rock, The ground was a shocking blood-red color, and the commander of the Third Banner of the Imperial Central Army, Zhu Xi Kaiwen, got down from his warhorse, signed his name on the report handed by the adjutant, and instructed, "Immediately send this good news back!

"Yes," the adjutant nodded, "Is there any movement on the Nuren side?" "No, I don't know why, instead of showing signs of military action, the Nuren side has also evacuated the outposts along the way!" "The outposts have been evacuated?" Zhu Xicain's face was a little stunned, what the hell are Fei Shan's people doing, it doesn't matter if there is no movement, it is still like this, according to intelligence, Fei Shan's forces in this area are mainly concentrated in Nuren, so in the imperial battle plan, the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army occupied Helena Fortress to attract a counterattack from the Nuren side, and then cooperated with the reinforcement troops to defeat Fei @± Shan's army in this area. gave up the use of a siege weapon like the Imperial Thor, in addition to the fact that Thor is inconvenient to use on rainy days, there is also what the Empire needs, which is a stable enough to support the entire assault operation strategic node, not a ruin-like place,

As the eastern gate of Fessan, Helena Fortress is not only a barrier that must be taken in the battle of the Imperial Advance in the war, but also tens of thousands of Imperial assault troops. When the situation is unfavorable, it is reasonable to be able to follow the back road that Lì can get out of, logically speaking, in such a place, there is no bloody battle that cannot be won, but Jusie Kane did not expect that the east gate of the Faisan Kingdom was occupied by himself for three or four hours, and the scenery was crooked, but the Fesan army on the Nuren side did not move, "Could it be that there was an accident?" Jussi Kane frowned slightly. Holding the reconnaissance report sent by the scout in front of him, he read it several times in a row, but he didn't react half-ringing.

Did he get the situation wrong? Or did the Fissannes not know the situation at all? Jusie Kane put down the scout report in his hand in confusion, although he ordered the scout to intercept the other party's cavalry asking for help, but according to the scout's feedback, he still let one go, but why, Nullen's reaction can be expressed as not knowing.

Withdrawing from the outposts between the two places, this obvious military movement did not indicate that Nuren's Fissan army not only had no intention of counterattacking, but also seemed to have the intention of abandoning Helena directly!

"It seems. The defenders of Phassan at Helena Fortress have been betrayed by the Nulens!"

An unrealistic thought suddenly flashed through Jusie Kane's mind, causing his eyes to light up, and his hand squeezed the scout report tightly, as it should be. Otherwise, Nuren would never have acted like this, although it is not known why. But the facts show that this is the case, Fei Shan's east gate was sold by his own people!

"If the five thousand defenders of Helena's fortress know this, I don't know if they will not be dissolved!" Jussi Kane smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, it has nothing to do with him if there is any conflict between Nuren and Helena, but he thinks that this is an excellent fighter to capture Nulen in one fell swoop, such an important gateway place, since it is occupied, why should it be slammed again!

Ordering all the troops to assemble, Jussi Kane turned to the trumpet behind him and ordered, "Woo woo" The battle horn was fierce in the wind and rain, like the wind blowing through the Helena Fortress for thousands of years "Is it an order to assemble?" The soldiers of the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army who were scattered in the fortress raised their heads, stood up one by one with a confused expression, picked up their weapons and shields, and although they were puzzled, they still quickly executed, "Didn't you say that you held on to the spot?" "I don't know, there may be something new!" The soldiers were talking in the queue, with the flag of the Imperial Central Army above their heads, making a crackling sound in the bursting wind and rain, the soldiers were assembled in formation, and the queues were bathed in the rain, and the flying banners were like a wave, and the surroundings were quiet.

Under the gaze of everyone, the commander Jussikane appeared at the battlement mouth at the height of the fortress, and in front of all the soldiers, Jussikane drew his sword, pointed to the sky to the west, looked at the dense soldiers below, and said loudly, "Do you know what this fortress we occupy is called?" Helena Fortress, which is called the eastern gate of the Fishan Kingdom along with Nuren behind it, has now kicked half of it open, and if we retract it like this, we can only watch this immortal military feat slip out of our hands in vain, and it will be winter soon, do you want to send back bags full of gold coins, so that your parents, wives and children can sit in front of the warm kang this winter, and you can get rich food and respect from everyone?"

"Yes!"

The sound shook all over the world, and the soldiers responded in an uproar, one by one, holding their heads high, looking at Zhu Xikane's gaze, full of scorching heat, although the emperor ** People are well treated, but it is only relative, the fundamental reason for the bravery of the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army is that the commander Jusie Kane is a person who never stingy, as a knight's self-discipline, Jusie Kane often gets a large number of bounties from the Ministry of Military Affairs, and will not leave a leave to the soldiers, and even sometimes, they will pay out of their own pockets to subsidize the soldiers who died in battle, build courtyards to adopt the orphans of the soldiers, with such a commander, there are naturally soldiers who dare to fight to the death, because the soldiers know that as long as Lord Jusie Kane is there, their families will be taken care of,

Such a situation is not uncommon in the imperial central military system, and if it is attributed to the source, it can be reached by the current emperor** Minister Hu Keqili, in order to get funds to take care of the disabled retired personnel in the Central Army, Hu Keqili also took the initiative to ask to engage in sea trade with the Dylan Navy, with the acquiescence of the top boss Hu Keqili, and the flag regiments of the Central Army also have their own industries in the sea trade, after all, in the imperial war, no matter how capable the troops, a large number of disabled soldiers are always inevitable, and it is a pity that these soldiers with rich combat experience are wasted like this, so they are settled in the armed fleet. On the one hand, it can ensure the stability of life, and on the other hand, it can also allow the Central Army to obtain financial support, otherwise, the title of the first army on the mainland is an empty shelf!

Jusie Kane is also gambling, the opportunity to be personally appointed by His Majesty Falcon as the spearhead of the battle is too precious for him, the imperial central military system is the elite of the elite of the empire, among which the stars are gathered, and that one is not full of merits. If you want to rise out in such a bright starry sky, it is not enough to just dare to fight and gamble, but also luck.

You see that Varisien, Reposti and others are already legion-level imperial generals, in the battle of the White Tassel, Varisien killed the first general of the Eastern Court Bo Guoer Zamu with a single army, and the battle situation in the Eastern Court was tilted, and the blood-colored Silver Sparrow Mountain. Reposti, the main force of the Duke of Normandy in the bloody battle of Yaglins, laid the glory of the empire in the first battle of Obarro, precisely because of its prominence. Only then did they have the opportunity to fall into the eyes of the military god His Majesty, and finally had the opportunity to be reappointed as the commander of the trapping war in the Great Lakes region, which severely damaged the Sino-European Barrow Alliance, and the two were able to enter the sequence of famous generals recognized by the entire continent. Look at these imperial generals who are also from the Central Army, which one did not seize a rare opportunity and rushed forward rapidly. Until this seemingly slim and impossible opportunity is expanded to a truly unbelievable brilliant record,

He has already defeated Helena and pried open the door of Fessan, why can't he take Nulen in one fell swoop!

"Take Nulen, I will personally go to the Ministry of War to ask for a bounty!" Jusie Kane loudly promised all the soldiers below, and the blood of the soldiers was inspired to boil again, and three hours after capturing Helen's fortress, the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army, which was the spearhead of the assault, only had a short rest, and quickly pounced on Nelen,

Nuren

The rain crackled like beads from the eaves to the windowsill, and the dense roofs of the city showed a white gloom in the rain curtain

Through the window, Gledat could see a carriage with the crest of the city's Philes family inscribed on the door, turning around the corner of a street full of water, overturning violently because of the weightlessness of the body, the items behind the carriage fell to the ground with a clatter, the servants picked it up in a panic, a fat man wearing a noble swallowtail came out of the door, shouting something, regardless of the rain in the sky wetting the whole body, hysterical appearance, making people feel pitiful, speeding past the carriage along the way, none of them seemed to have the intention of stopping, the water splashed by the wheels, and blew up the fat man's body"Is that the case?"

Gledat rubbed his aching temples, the fat man he knew, was a person in charge of the Filex family in the city, the direction of the carriage was the city gate, and he also knew that those carriages that passed just now, and carriages like this, had been blocked by hundreds of cars at the city gate, "An hour ago, Lord Johnny left the mansion, and his current whereabouts are unknown, and the news is indeed from the mansion after Lord Johnny left, this can be confirmed!" The adjutant's ugly face behind him, with the abnormal movement of the army, and the gossip from Johnny's old fox mansion, has caused chaos in Nuren, the Istanbul army is attacking Helena, this secret that only a very few people know, was suddenly revealed an hour ago, and in a short period of time it caused panic throughout the city, especially the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city, who had fled with supplies and property,

Reports from the gates of the city that noble carriages laden with goods had formed a long queue at the gates, and the guards at the gates had no idea what to do with the situation, and the situation became chaotic and out of control.

Gledat had to mobilize the city's troops everywhere to maintain order, and at the same time send people to investigate the source of the news, but his teeth were almost crushed, Johnny, the old fox, actually escaped secretly, as a district magistrate, this is ** Naked absconding, according to the laws of the kingdom, will be beheaded, but thinking of Johnny standing behind the figure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is estimated that this kind of result will never occur, this old fox, should have planned like this a long time ago, and now send those young masters in Kyoto away, and then he himself will also slip away, leaving a mess that cannot be cleaned up, Helena has been sold, and now even Newren has to be sold? My lord, if you don't clear the city gate, I'm afraid you won't be able to calm the chaos!"

Gledat nodded, and Helena Fortress didn't know how long it would be able to resist. The strength of his own headquarters has been transferred to some important tasks of guarding, and now the strength of the Nuren side is seven or eight thousand people, most of which are still in the nature of the city garrison, it is very good to be able to maintain the city from chaos, not to mention counting on these garrisons to go up at a critical moment, at this time, the city gate cannot be closed, what it means can be imagined, but the condition of the city gate is even worse than he imagined,

Several of the carriages of the great nobles in the city refused to give way to each other. The nobles were arguing, it seemed that whoever gave in was losing their identity and face, and there were a large number of citizens in the city who were blocked at the city gates, and they dragged their families and their children with their land. There are also many people who carry too much luggage, cups and pans, mosquito nets, everything, and even some even carry furniture.

The people in the city are already panicking, not only the nobles are on the run, but also the citizens, and the Istanbul has not been less involved in burning, killing and looting. I heard that this time it was a 100,000-strong army to kill, and if you don't run at this time, you are really waiting to die, as a border area, it is very early in the morning for the sensitivity and cruelty of war. Now the city is full of Faysan, all of them are crazy, hoping to escape before the war spreads. The farther away the better,

This is completely out of the human instinct of survival, the population of the entire Nuren is fifty or sixty thousand people, this time, it is like a hornet's nest, even the city gate guard admits that he never thought that so many people would be crowded at the city gate at once, it is simply a disaster, this is the case, the carriage twisted into a ball near the city gate, the noise, the cry of children, the cry of women, the chaos of chaos,

Gledat is also a little stunned bastard, no wonder the old fox wants to run!" Gledat scolded angrily in a low voice, there was an impulse to go crazy, it is the duty of a political officer to stabilize people's hearts, obviously, Johnny had expected this in advance, this is simply impossible to control the situation, in order to get out of trouble, he simply left, "Immediately send my guards to pull those carriages away, and all civilians are not allowed to approach the city gate!"

Gledat gave an order, this scene is completely unhandleable, unless he orders the army to use force to clear the field, if that is the case, even if he can suppress the scene, his reputation and future will be over, these civilians are nothing, this city full of nobles, more or less have their own connections and backers, offend one or two, it's okay to say, offend everything, that's not what is looking for death! Since you can't move the nobles, then move these ordinary people, it's not that you don't want to go out of the city, just row in the back, logically speaking, this can also be explained, but directly order the army to come forward, that's another thing "Everyone stand back, everyone disperses!" A team of guards with weapons in their hands drove away ordinary citizens from the city gate, which immediately caused a lot of fluctuations,

No one noticed that on the periphery of Nuren, the sound of rushing horses' hooves had resounded across the earth like rolling waves, and the withered grass of late autumn was raised by the torrent, and a light cavalry squadron of the Third Banner Regiment of the Imperial Central Army arrived at the periphery first, and on a hill in the distance, the keen eyes of the cavalry squadron leader were silently watching this qiē

"The location of the city gate must be blocked! What are these Feishan people doing?"

The corners of the cavalry squadron leader's mouth with evil aura curled slightly, and behind him, more and more cavalry units were being injected, until half an hour later, all the three thousand imperial cavalry that had been driven out in advance arrived,

The city gate in the distance was still congested, although Gledat gave an order, but it was the city garrison that was dispatched, all of them were natives of their hometowns, people who knew each other, neighbors, friends, and even relatives, which one was really ruthless, it was nothing more than a few verbal chatters, and the work of driving was extremely slow, and the nobles were also angry, thinking that moving their carriage was moving their noble faces, and they all shouted for an explanation from the city gate guards

"This is Lord Gledat's order, it really has nothing to do with me!" "The city gate guards were almost scared to death, they were grabbed and led by a group of angry nobles, and they were pushed and staggered, and hurriedly moved Gledat out as a baffle, the nobles didn't care so much, they said that they ordered Lord Sgradat, but the execution was carried out by you, who you don't beat,

The city gate guard officer was chased like a rabbit, and the soldiers next to him wanted to rush over, but they were stopped by several nobles, shouting "Whoever dares to come, I will fight him together." I don't believe it, even Lord Gledat would not dare to do this, a small city gate guard officer has such a big courage! Today, we will teach this blind guy a good lesson on behalf of Lord Gledat!"

"It's not like that, are the garrisons all wretched?" Seeing this scene, Gledat couldn't help it, and beat the officers without authorization, but no one stopped them, and the nobles were too unscrupulous......!
