Hearing the words of the young entourage, Yard's eyes lit up imperceptibly, he got up from his seat, came to the door of the military tent, looked at the large camp on the right side of the barracks with a whole row of fluttering local garrison flags, and said in a condensed voice, "Since you have such an ideal, then I will help you, my Fifth Infantry Regiment still lacks a squadron leader, are you willing, if this battle is really as you said to defeat the Slavs in the southern swamps, I will promote you to the commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment!"

"Infantry Commander? Sounds very good, but if I became the commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, what would I do now? If you put me in the Fifth Praetorian Guard Infantry Regiment, will he throw me into the death camp in advance!" Philorgus blinked, and said unusually calmly

"Haha, don't worry, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment is my direct subordinate unit, and I have full authority over the transfer of personnel, as for the current commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, you don't have to worry at all, if he wins, he will have a better way to make money, but one thing you said is right, the Fifth Guards Infantry Regiment is the death battalion of this battle."

"General, what do you mean......" Figueros had a look of surprise on his face

"They will carry out the plan you said and lure the Slavs into the southern swamps step by step" Yadel smiled at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the stunned Philorgus, and said with a bit of revenge in his heart, "Since it is the plan you proposed, it is naturally the most appropriate for you to carry it out, although the Fifth Praetorian Guard Infantry Regiment is an infantry regiment, it has a cavalry force, a cavalry squadron composed of 500 Praetorian Cavalry, with your current status, if you want not to arouse the jealousy of others, you can only do this!" And don't look at what you said at the meeting with ease, it seems that with a flick of a little finger, you can wipe out the Slavs' army of 100,000 people!" Yadel's voice stopped, his face suddenly gloomy, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. Yan sù said" In fact, you are simply hiding the most important thing, that is, the Slavic heavy infantry will come to a standstill in the swamp, but it does not mean that it will be easily wiped out, and the final battle will be very tragic, even if we defeat the light troops supporting the heavy infantry, we will have to return in the end to gnaw the hard bone of the heavy infantry, our strength is only 30,000, and the elite heavy infantry of the Slavs is also more than 20,000, we have no advantage in strength, but have to face the desperate Slavic heavy infantry to the death!"

"A lot of people will die in this fight. I don't even know if the troops will be able to hold out until the end," Yadel's solemn voice said, his eyes red, and his voice even trembled a little, "I see!

Figueros showed a hint of abruptness on his face, and nodded in acquiescence, he knew that Yalde was not lying, his identity was just an attendant of a local nobleman, although he said a lot of things at the meeting, and everyone was happy, but this alone wanted to become a real Praetorian Guard general. It was a fool's dream, what was the Gallic Praetorian Guard, the direct army of the Gallic Emperor, and the place where countless nobles in Gaul regarded it as a place of glory. It would have been even more difficult for a foreigner to enter the Praetorian Guard, if it weren't for the fact that Yelder felt that he was a talented man, and the Gallic Empire had lost troops in the war in the west. In the case of a shortage of both soldiers and officers, he will never be able to touch the edge of the Praetorian Guard. "This is a godsend!" Figueros decided to seize this opportunity, pretending to be calm, "actually. My idea is to use heavy cavalry to deal a decisive blow to the Slavic heavy infantry in the end! It's just that at the meeting just now, considering some reasons, I didn't make it completely clear, but I didn't expect that the adults had already thought of this!

"It's hard to gnaw on this hard bone, but it's definitely valuable strategically"

"As long as the 100,000 Slavic army is defeated, the general will be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of the empire in the north, the population of the Slavs is limited, and the young and middle-aged are only about 300,000, after this battle, the Slavs who were killed by the general will be killed by a third of the Slavs, at least for a period of time," and this time is enough for us to take back the two provinces that had fallen before! Your Excellency can not only relieve the crisis of the empire, but also get more troops to replenish! So I must say, General, this battle is worth the gamble!" Figueros's tone was aggravated, and he said categorically, "Take a gamble, hehe, I know, you yourself are not completely sure!"

Yard's eyes were bright, and a smile appeared on his cold face, and he smiled bitterly. It is a good thing for young people to have ideals, but it is also necessary to distinguish the form, the empire lost on the Western Front, most of the 500,000 troops were lost in battle, the empire was suppressed in the north, and it was also at a disadvantage in the east, for us who are facing such a situation, every step is walking on the thin ice, the whole empire is like such an overwhelmed old carriage, and we can clearly hear the sound of the ice shaking under the broken wheels, our bet is likely to be a car crash and people will die!"

"Since we are already traveling on thin ice, we can't turn around, we can't retreat, which means that we have no choice but to pull!"

Figueros seemed to be touched by this sentence, and said with a firm face, "Defeat the Slavs and obtain a strategic buffer, so that the empire can have a chance to breathe, since we were born in this era, it is destined that it is not us who choose this era, but this era that chooses us!" "It is not we who choose this era, but this era who chooses us!"

Yald's voice was a little low, repeating this sentence, the hesitation between his eyebrows became more and more firm, he got up from his seat, came to Figueros and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, that's a good sentence! Since it's a gamble, I hope you can make our chances of winning bigger! You just said that you used heavy cavalry at the end, right...... I think this method is good! I grant you full authority to mobilize the heavy cavalry, and from now on, you will be the commander of the heavy cavalry of my direct Praetorian Guard! Remember, they are the best soldiers of the Empire, the warriors of the Empire, and they will not frown in the face of sacrifice, but I hope that you can seize the opportunity to attack and give full play to their value! Don't let them die in vain" "Yes, I see" Figueros gave a military salute to Jarde with an excited expression, he did not expect that Jarde would trust him so much in a small retinue and let himself command the most elite general in the entire legion, although there were not many of them. But when it comes to combat strength, equipment, and training, the heavy cavalry directly under the general is well-deserved to be the first branch of the whole army, "You go and prepare first, I want to be alone and quiet!"

Yelder rubbed his aching temples, and when Figueros left, Yalde walked out of the tent and looked at the barracks in the wilderness, this battle was too gambling, even he was not sure, 25,000 Praetorian Guards plus 7,000 local troops. The 100,000-strong army that confronted the Slavs, even if they were well prepared, would have survived a third of them in the end! But after Allrak, it was the gateway to Kyoto in Gaul!

Gaul, province of Philip, capital of Lukya

The weather in June was hot and humid, as if it were about to wring out water, and since the Falcon Empire broke through the Lasti barrier in April, the famous Gallic general Hasenrimbaud led tens of thousands of remnants of the Sixth Army to retreat into the Fippley region. The Falcon Army, which followed the Gallic army, was Salton's Second Army of the South, with a total of 50,000 men, all of whom were from the elite troops of the original reorganization, and were not much worse than the Sixth Army of Hasenrimbaud in terms of combat power. With the front line of the war being pushed here, even the air has a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

The Philip region is a vast and fertile plain,

When the cool June wind blows, the low grass that grows to the calves rolls like waves. Heaven and earth are shrouded in desolation.

The flag of the Falcon Army and the flag of the Gallic Sixth Army fluttering above the city were also blown by the strong wind, because it was a large basin terrain formed by the surrounding mountains, and the strong wind brought a cool breath. Although the wind blowing through people's cheeks is basically hot, no one feels that their hearts can be truly calmed, on the contrary, many people feel more arrogant and restless inside.

"Is there any movement from the enemy?"

More than a dozen Gallic officers, including General Bata of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Sixth Gallic Army, looked at the Falcon barracks that were densely packed on the ground in the distance, which stretched out for miles long, and looked a little uneasy, as if the stuffy breath was about to suffocate people, and there was a bad omen. "Send someone to pay attention, there are more water tanks on the city wall that don't have fire, I feel very bad, look at the weather. It may soon enter the rainy season in June" Bata is a very experienced general, he stood on the city wall, looked up at the dreary sky, and explained loudly to his subordinates while patrolling the defense line, "The heavy rain is muddy, which is not conducive to garrisoning and fighting, I have a hunch that the attack of the Falcon Army is in these few days, otherwise, they will not release all the scouts, because if the rainy season comes, their fuel bombs, Thor will lose their power, and they can only wait here for the rainy season to end!"

The walls of Lukeyadu City are not very high, but they are quite wide, stretching, built around the mound behind the city, and it is very eye-catching on this plain, because it deviates from the direction of the main attack, the Southern Second Army outside Lukeyadu has only one infantry regiment, and its main role is to contain the Second Infantry Regiment of the Sixth Army of Gaul, because both sides issued orders to contain it, so the two armies have been facing each other for more than half a month, and the real battle is only a few times,

But this time, the situation began to change, and the figure of cavalry appeared in the barracks of the Falcon Army outside the city, with black armor and red cloaks like blood, so that the Gallic army was waiting on the city walls, and at the same time, a large number of reserves began to gather in the streets of the city.

"It's the Guards cavalry of the Falcon Army. ”

Bata looked at the black dot in the distance with a sharp eye, frowned and said, his face was a little blue, and the faces of the other generals became extremely solemn, everyone knew what the appearance of the Guards cavalry meant, if not that terrible person, at least an important person at the level of the commander of the legion arrived

"Do you need to report to the top?" said one of the generals worriedly

"Let's wait and see," Bata hesitated, though he instinctively felt that the Falcon would not launch a siege battle. But Bata didn't dare to affirm it, although the Second Army of the Falcon Army Southern Army entered the province of Philip, it didn't seem to be like the Falcon Army that entered other provinces, like a fierce wind and a fire, straight into the hinterland for dozens of miles a day and night, and the Second Army of the Southern Army of the Falcon Empire that entered Phipps was indeed making slow progress, but it was steady and steady, and it was holding down the Gallic army that withdrew into Firas.

Although Hasenrampo wanted to rescue the other provinces, he could only watch the cities of the nearby provinces fall one after another, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that in front of the open gate of Rasti, the target of the Falcon Empire's army. It's as fast as possible. The area that occupied the most, there was not so much leisure to continue to wear out with Hasenlimpo's Sixth Legion

"Could it be that the Falcon Army, which has conquered two provinces in a row, finally thinks that Firas still has a Gallic army?" Bata couldn't take a notice, the two sides were equal in terms of strength, but the Falcon Army's combat strength has always been strong, and the last battle in the mountains, that kind of terrible explosion, had already chilled the Sixth Army, although only the special operations flag regiment of Varisian had grenadiers, but in the eyes of the Gauls. The Falcon Army is the same, if it weren't for the city wall, who would dare to shout openly and fight with the Falcon Army now!

The fat man raised his lookout scope on the tower erected in the camp and roughly swept away the Gallic army at the head of the city of Lukeya.

This small city actually gathered 10,000 troops of the Gallic Sixth Army, and Bata guessed correctly, the fat man did not come to attack the city, because there was Angelio, a big inner ghost, and the fat man deliberately slowed down the advance of the province of Fipli, which was an important grain-producing area in Gaul. It's already June, and in half a month it will be the autumn field where the earth is golden, and the fat man doesn't want the war to destroy everything, and he is still counting on solving the problem of more than 100,000 army rations in Phippley Province

The damage that can be reduced is minimized. With Salton's second army to suppress Hasenranpo, both of them are stable generals, and Salton's steady and steady combat style makes Hasenlan, who is already in a weak position, dare not move. The two fought several times, and they both felt a little jealous of each other's infantry

Except for a few fortress cities where the Sixth Army of Hasenlimbo was reeled, the fat man was naturally not idle. He held the list of provincial nobles provided by Angelio in his hand, and was privately contacted by the assassins, the nobles on these lists are all locals, families, and industries are all local, since they did not choose to run away at the beginning, then they will not run now, but they don't know what kind of fate awaits them, in the panic of the people, the Falcon Army promised to give a promise to ensure the safety of people and property, and these local nobles surrendered very undisciplinedly,

"What do you think of Hasenlimpo?"

Coldly put down the binoculars, the fat man asked calmly, behind him, stood the commander of the Second Army of the Southern Empire, Thorton, the fat man came to inspect this time, June has passed the middle of the year, July has not yet arrived, and the march of the army in Gaul has been temporarily stopped,

It's not just that I swallowed two and a half provinces in one go, and millions of people have a little bit of a hold

Moreover, before the harvest in July, in order to avoid losses, the Imperial army's operations in Gaul would gradually cease, the large army would need to rest, some of the troops that had been fighting for a long time would need to return home, and it would take time for new troops to come in

The fat man also received a letter from China, and after the princess Rui Tang Tingna, the chief princess of the East Court, finally felt the walls of the internal forces of the empire to isolate herself, and learned to be obedient, and after returning to the fiefdom, she immediately congratulated the fat man on marrying the princess of the West Court in the name of the royal family of the East Garden, and the fat man also had to admire the decisiveness of this woman, this woman's small face became, it was really too fast, and finally inspected again, the fat man was about to return to the empire that had left the empire for several months,

He wants to officially marry Philanton Ya in the new holy city ten miles away from the original holy city of Tulga in the northern grassland, so as to declare his royal power over the grassland, which is a major event for the entire grassland, the power of the West Court will be strengthened, and the rise of the East Court will begin to be contained.

However, unlike the previous confrontation and civil strife between the two courts, after this Rasti battle, both the Western Prairie and the Eastern Prairie have been eager to shift their attention to the Obaro continent, hoping to find the land and pastures that all ethnic groups dream of here, and driven by interests, the Prairie people will truly integrate into the scope of the empire and truly submit to the jurisdiction of the empire.

What worries the fat man the most is that Hasenrimbaud, the tiger of the Gallic Empire, although he is now pressed with a layer of shackles by himself, he is like a cockroach, and he has not been killed when he fights around! Not to be underestimated! As for the famous Gallic general Yald, who rose rapidly in the battle of northern Gaul, the fat man has not yet taken it to heart

"Hasenranpo is a real general, but unfortunately, as an enemy of His Majesty, he is doomed to failure!" Salton's cautious answer made the fat man feel a little funny, he didn't expect that this guy from Salton had also begun to learn this trick, it seems that this big dye vat in the imperial military world is really a sycophant!

"Your battle line is a little too tight, before August, I just need you to watch him for me! If the other side wants to counterattack, you try your best to avoid fighting, and you can even relax the defense line appropriately! This is the power I give you!" the fat man turned around and said with a look like electricity

"Relax the line?" Soldo looked stunned, glanced at the fat man in disbelief, and wondered if he had heard it wrong, this is not the style of the Vikia Falcon that wants to knock on the bone and suck the marrow when he finds an opportunity, "Sometimes relaxing, you are tightening the rope around the other party's neck!" The fat man smiled at the unknown Salton, and handed the lookout goggle in his hand to the guard next to him,

Salton was confused and at a loss,

He didn't know that at this time, Hasenrimbaud was indeed in a hurry, the battle of Lust almost pressed the national fortunes of the Gallic Empire, hundreds of thousands of troops were killed or collapsed, the whereabouts of the emperor's most trusted henchman, Miss Algernon Julia, were unknown, the door of Lust was opened, and two and a half provinces of the empire were lost in just one month.

The roar of anger from Gallic Kyoto almost didn't drown out Hasenlimpo, but fortunately, the Falcon Army's pressing forward gave him a chance to relieve, at least, Kyoto would not think that he was colluding with the Falcon Army inside and outside. If it weren't for the disadvantage of his troops, what he wanted to do most now was to attack and go to war! (To be continued......
