Chapter 5 Changing Circumstances
Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements. Therefore, the army is plotted, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city.
In the early stage of the War of the Gods, most of the generals of the Eminole Continent did not understand the tricks of the army, but the soldiers of Fanos and Alcatraz preferred to leave the common things in the strategy without a trace.
What made later generations of military scholars quite sigh was that in the autumn of the 5th year of the magic calendar, the god of luck favored the Amy Empire more.
First, the Holy See, the most loyal ally of the Amy Empire, declared all-out war with Fanos and the Alcatraz soldiers, and then in October, the owner of the Demon Jīng Forest joined the war because of his marriage to the leader of the small mercenary group, His Excellency Amy. This is extremely bad news for Fanos and Alcatraz, and once the news came out, it also prompted the two major forces to accelerate the progress of some of their plans.
On March 1 of the autumn of the 5th year of the magic calendar, Marshal Datong of the Emperor's ** Department to Baochi Datong left Dìdū and personally went to the Sanggan River War Zone, the Lion River War Zone, the Holy Snow Mountain War Zone (Tongyunguan War Zone), and the Jielin War Zone to inspect the four war zones, and show grace on behalf of the emperor.
On March 6 of the 5th year of the Magic Calendar, Hamburg, the largest steel producing city on the mainland at the western foot of the snow-capped mountains of Mìdū, a coastal town located in the north of Dìdū, suddenly lost contact with the Imperial Army, and then, according to the recent reports of several armies belonging to the West Coast Defense District, undeserved alien flags appeared on these two cities. Viscount Fan quietly took advantage of the cover of the night and mobilized two brigades to ambush near the mainland road leading to Dìdū and the main arterial road. Immediately, an urgent military intelligence was sent to the emperor's ** department. Count Chi Hanfeng, who was on duty, suddenly turned extremely ugly, and sent three phantom beast knights to investigate, and the last two knight brigades of the Colorful Dragon Knights were ordered to go to the west side of Dìdū to form a new defensive circle.
The accurate news is that the Phanos Legion Commander Norton and Merlin each led their direct subordinates to secretly infiltrate their subordinate human warriors into these two cities, and the subsequent battle was quite simple, on a moonlit night, the city gate was opened, and thousands of strong alien warriors killed all the warriors defending the city in just three hours, and two squadrons of Imperial warriors and four squadrons of Imperial swordsmen were all wiped out.
Imperial Vice Minister Bode Delaware seized the opportunity to attack and forcefully accused Viscount Fan, the deputy governor of the Imperial Gyeonggi Theater, of losing his land twice in a row, and that not killing him was not enough to set the record straight; however, the Imperial Gyeonggi Theater Governor, Count Ji Hanfeng, was currently a great enemy, indulging in singing and dancing, bent on personal gain, and seeking huge profits, so he must be dismissed and directly sent to the lost territory to make meritorious contributions.
In the Imperial Council Hall, the words of the Deputy Prime Minister were loud, and in dìdū, the only person who could contain His Excellency the Marquis was Marshal Chi Datong before, but unfortunately now the marshal has left Beijing - the hall of hundreds of people is silent.
The face of the Red Stone Emperor was naturally not good-looking, the empire was attacked on both sides, and one of the enemy's partial divisions was actually directed at Dìdū, which was only seven days away from Scambrai. Now, the millions of residents of dìdū don't know about it yet, otherwise ...... There weren't necessarily many citizens out there making trouble or taking refuge - from this point of view, Viscount Fan, the chief executive of the war on the Western Front, was indeed more than 100 dead.
"There's one thing I've always been weird about. General Gyeonggi's words brought the Redstone Emperor's thoughts back to the council hall - His Excellency the General did not give a full salute as always.
"Oh, it's good to have something to say. Redstone snorted softly as he looked at his cousin's face with exaggerated curiosity written on his face, knowing that the other party was not expecting him to give the correct answer to the so-called "strange".
"Your Majesty, according to the final battle report of the small mercenary group in Broken Ice Harbor and the last statistics of Viscount Fan, there were still more than 10,000 troops when the Fanos bandits fled after the defeat, and at least 50% of these bandits were seriously injured in the attack and defense of Broken Ice Port. What makes me incredible is that this unit disappeared out of thin air from the day after fleeing the battlefield, during which more than 40 scout troops were sent to the northwest of the empire to search before and after the Gyeonggi Theater of Operations, and His Excellency Viscount Fan sent nearly 100 troops to sweep the west bank of Gyeonggi in a dragnet, but unfortunately never found any clues. Let's put it this way, it seems that no Fanos soldier ever landed on the west coast of the continent. ”
The sound of a quiet pin landing in the council hall can be heard.
No one knows what the Gyeonggi Supreme Governor meant by these words, more than 60% of the territory on the west coast of Dìdū was under the administration of the Gyeonggi garrison, while the remaining 30% Left and right, except for the direct territory of the royal family, which is the territory of the imperial nobles, no one in the ordinary small nobles dares to contradict the first door of the empire, and Viscount Fan, a person from a humble background, lacks due respect for the nobles of the empire.
If there is one thing that slips through the net, it is the fiefdom of the imperial family and several imperial super-nobles - a huge power that even with the dignity of the Chi family is unwilling to directly challenge.
Su Mingpu, the deputy minister of the Imperial Criminal Department, secretly glanced at several important ministers next to him - when His Majesty the Founding Emperor divided the territory, he intended to give the southern territory to the military generals among the fathers, and the northern territory to the resourceful and decisive ministers. His Majesty Emperor Wu explained this: "There are many forests and mountains in the south, and there are constant bandits, which need to be guarded and managed by the family for generations, and the many mountainous areas in the north are not without benefit to the health of the children of the civil official family." ”
The five great civil servant families of the empire, led by the Marquis of Bode Delaware, have more or less fiefdoms on the west coast of the empire and in the snow-capped mountain area of Messis Peak, and the lethality contained in Count Chi's words can be imagined.
"Your Majesty!" His Excellency the Marquis bowed respectfully: "The minister believes that Count Chi Hanfeng's words deliberately slandered the minister, and he quibbled to shirk responsibility. In order to correct my own name, I will now ask General Chi to send troops to search all the territories, and I believe that other important ministers of the empire will agree. ”
"Cut-" A sneer pierced everyone's ears, and Earl Chi Hanfeng said leisurely: "Tian is shameless!"
"What did Your Excellency say?" said the Marquis's face changed suddenly.
"When Viscount Fan led his troops to search, why didn't he say such a thing earlier? Now, I'm afraid that all the enemies have already arrived in the two cities. Chi Hanfeng's face was full of disdain.
"Nonsense, you say this to frame me for the company of ugly orcs, you are slandering the dignity of the family, I ......"
"How are you? Do you want to challenge? I'm afraid you don't need to, ...... back then."
"Shut up!" the Redstone Emperor immediately stopped Count Chi Hanfeng's continued provocation. More than 20 years ago, His Excellency the Marquis of Bode Delaware was seriously injured and disabled by Chi Hanfeng because of a skirmish, and the previous Marquis was also angry because of the serious injury of his eldest son, which was a great shame in the Marquis family.
"Your Majesty, although the two cities lost by the empire are near the marquis's territory, and among them, the marquis has also set up private soldiers, but according to detailed information. All the warriors of these two cities were killed, and the Marquis's private soldiers were no exception. I think that General Chi and General Fan have indeed done their part before. Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for soldiers. Please also ask Your Majesty to take a closer look. "Huo Dahua, the minister of the imperial ministry, came out to play a round.
"Old fox!" Chi Hanfeng and Bode Delaware scolded in their hearts at the same time.
Among the six major ministries of the empire, the minister is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is also the most famous tightrope walking expert in the empire. In the words of Earl Chi Hanfeng: "Everyone in the empire will make mistakes, even the ministers will not." What the emperor wanted to hear, the minister immediately made the emperor smile. "The minister is not only the evergreen tree of the empire, but also the third force known to the superstructure, although it is not as powerful as the Chi family and the Bode Delaware family, but under the clever checks and balances, it is not even left behind.
Redstone nodded, for any emperor, in the national building, there must not be a single faction, it is too easy to form a power lord. If you support one another, it is often easy to lead to every important decision, the two families quarrel, and in the end they can't promote it at all. This requires a third force - although the power is small, but at a critical time, it can say what His Majesty the Emperor wants to say, and offend people for the emperor.
"Chi Hanfeng, two months, I will only give you 60 days, you must recapture the two cities, otherwise...... Think for yourself......"
A clear-eyed person knows at a glance that blood is thicker than water, no matter what, Chi Hanfeng is still the cousin of the Redstone Emperor, and it is impossible for the Redstone Emperor to be embarrassed.
Returning to the Duke's Palace, Lord Earl immediately ordered a meeting of the remaining officers of the Colorful Dragon Knights, the head of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, the head of the Chi Family Guard, the Dìdū Swordsman Battalion, and the three chief officers of the small mercenary group Daqingshan, Horns, and Chi Aotian.
At that time, the Gyeonggi Theater only had as many as 30,000 regular troops, 24,000 swordsman battalions, plus 10,000 Praetorian Guards, and several mercenary regiments, ranking first among the seven major military regions of the empire in terms of numbers. It's a pity that now...... The Colorful Dragon Knights only have one left, the Earth Dragon Knight Brigade and one Co-Servant Heavy Infantry Brigade, both of which are not yet full, and the combined strength of the troops is less than 8,000. Of the remaining five brigades, His Excellency Viscount Fan had a heavy cavalry brigade and a light cavalry brigade in his hands, Chi Hantong transferred a light cavalry brigade and a squadron of Dixing Dragon Knights, and a heavy cavalry brigade and a light cavalry brigade were sent to the west side of Dìdū for defense. The Praetorian Guard also had two brigades - only 7,000 men in terms of size compared to the Knights, and the other brigade was taken away by Chi Hantong. The swordsman battalion is very neat, the key is ...... Hehe, whether it is Viscount Fan or His Excellency the Marquis of Tongyun, they are not optimistic about the swordsman battalion, otherwise it is estimated that there will not be so neat left.
According to Chi Hanfeng's estimate, the abbot of Shaolin after the 80s. But nearly 10,000 soldiers...... Although Chi Hanfeng has participated in several major battles, he ...... In those times it was the victors, but the soldiers of other empires died. Right now......
"It's all my soldiers......" Chi Hanfeng bit his lower lip tightly, and his eyes were rippling with a strange luster. Commanders who have not been saved by soldiers will not understand what soldiers mean to officers.
The officers of the Chimen Guard were the first to come and saw His Excellency the General alone with his back to the gate and his face facing the wall motionless, and the two men looked at each other and sat down lightly. The general of the Praetorian Guard and the two active captains came together, alarming the earl, Chi Hanfeng wiped his face with his hand and greeted his colleagues.
The three main officers of the small mercenary group and the deputy head of the Colorful Dragon Knights arrived together.
"There's good news for you, and there's bad news for you. I don't know which one you want to hear first?" Count Chi asked softly.
Several warriors from different units passed glances to each other, what is wrong with the general? When did you learn to be so reserved? This does not match the usual style of adults, and I feel that after adults encounter things, the last thing they like to do is to pull their subordinates over, let everyone guess what happened, and then say the four answers of ABCD in a serious way - there is a prize for answering correctly, and answering incorrectly...... Of course, there will be a penalty. However, in terms of probability, there is no more than a 20% chance of getting it right (multiple choice questions). Relying on this, the adults also earned a lot of money from their subordinates, and it was called an effective assessment of the judgment of their subordinates.
Horns, Daqingshan, and Chi Aotian have not received similar gifts, and they speak more straightforwardly: "Let's talk about the bad news first, you can listen to the good news whenever you want." ”
The general's eyes narrowed into two cold lights: "Actually, good news and bad news are one. A few days ago, two armies suddenly attacked two cities on the west coast and slaughtered all the soldiers defending the cities......"
Before the general's words were finished, Chi Aotian and Horns jumped up from their chairs, and the black-clothed boy opened the curtain and rushed out.
"Come back!" Chi Hanfeng's body didn't move, he slapped the table heavily, and chased out of the hall with an angry voice.
Chi Aotian and Horns know the general very well, and if they talk so angrily, if they are not joking, then they must really be to the extreme. Although Chi Aotian has a bad temper, he even dares to confront his father in person, but for this uncle...... But I'm very scared, don't look at the usual good talking, I'm really angry, but I'm going to die.
"Why are you two so good!!How can you two be so smart!What if you guess that it's the Phanos Legion?!Do you know how many people are coming?!Do you know which two cities are lost?Do you know who is leading the army?!Can you two do it??Do you have eyes on top of your heads?!Is the empire's 700,000 army no match to you two?!Is it really so good, what did you do in the first place?!"
Chi Aotian's fair face instantly turned black, and yīn was covered with clouds. Horns scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, an embarrassed smile appeared on his honest face, and he stepped heavily on Daqingshan without paying attention.
"Uncle Chi, let's talk about it in detail. Since you've called us, there must be something on the agenda. "Daqingshan had to come forward.
"We must take revenge!" Chi Hanfeng threw down a short sentence, turned around and opened the wall-mounted map: "Please come over because you need to rely on everyone's strength in the war that follows." ”
"Today is March 11, and three days later, that is, at 7 a.m. on March 13, the following troops will assemble at the military field of Ximen School and wait for the order to leave. ”
"The first and second squadrons of the hoplite brigade of the Knights of the Colorful Dragon. Being the first to be named, the deputy commander of the legion, who ranked first among the imperial armies, had a smug smile on his face. Marquis Chi Hanfeng's words had not yet spoken: "Your Excellency Marquis Toyota, the Colorful Dragon hoplites, as the forward troops, will converge the Second Heavy Knight Brigade and the First Light Knight Brigade of the Colorful Dragon to the west, and go directly to Flood City. His Excellency the Marquis is the former head of the army. ”
"Yes!" the Marquis's head quivered.
"The 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the 2nd Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, the 1st and 2nd Swordsmen Battalions of the Gyeonggi Theater, and the Duke's Palace Guards are all members of the Chinese Army, and they are under my command. ”
"The 3rd Squadron of the Hoplite Infantry Brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the Praetorian Guard, the Small Mercenary Regiment Blocking Swordsman Battalion, the Vulture Swordsman Battalion, the Magic Swordsman Battalion, the Archer Swordsman Battalion, the Great Swordsman Battalion, the 3rd and 4th Swordsman Battalions of the Gyeonggi Theater of Operations, are the rear army, and the rear army is commanded by Baron Daqingshan and Viscount Horns. ”
There was a trace of uneasiness among the emperor's ** officials, only the emperor ** had ever commanded the mercenary group, and there was no precedent for such a thing. What's more, the two forces of the Colorful Dragon Knights and the Praetorian Guard are extremely fierce in the sequence of the emperor's ** team, and the most famous thing is not combat power, but arrogance. Not to mention a mercenary group cadre, even if it is the commander of other theaters of the empire, even if it is the head of the knight regiment appointed by the military department, if there is no considerable strength, these noble soldiers will not pay attention to it at all.
Lord Marquis picked up the knight's sword from his side and threw it to Da Qingshan, and his tone was light: "Those who violate the order, regardless of military rank or lord, use this sword to cut first and then play." There is something I am responsible for to Your Majesty. ”
The council chamber was immediately filled with murderous aura. The officers took a light breath of cold air, it seems that General Chi has high expectations for his disciples, and the right to kill generals and nobles in battle is only available to generals of the general level.
"Chi Aotian, you immediately bring this warrant, together with Sha Ruo, and bring the second army of wild vulture swordsmen, to the west coast to see His Excellency Viscount Fan, and ask him to immediately lead the team in person, surround Fantao City, don't take the initiative to attack, and wait for me to lead the army there. Remember two points: first, tell Viscount Fan that if you still suffer from gains and losses, be careful, or retire; second, there is a note in the warrant that Viscount Fan is not so easy to deal with, you should carefully read the instructions before you set off, and do what is said above. ”
