Chapter 171: Western Expedition (1)

Journey, go!

Yes, a sharp sword should not be placed in a crystal cabinet full of velvet, but should be sparked with hard armor, Xilin did not know that in fact, the battle in the south had already begun, and when he gathered his army and rushed to Taransar, Jesse had already straddled the back of the war horse!

Taransar was located in the northwest of the Empire, where the terrain was flat and the fortified city was like nails, tightly embedded in the plains of Sikustanya.

Although the road is not too far, but the 27th Corps has more than 10,000 people, even if it is advancing at full speed, it will take nearly two days to arrive, but if you keep galloping, even if the war horse can hold on, those soldiers will be tired and unable to hold the long sword, you know, the current 27th Corps has not experienced war, they are just young children who have just come out of the nest.

Two hundred years ago, Augsg the Great laid the foundations of the empire, and since then, the entire Roland Empire has never been as chaotic as it is today, it seems that the era of Oones is over, and the new chaotic land will bear the name of Andus.

As the border between the Empire and the Independent Kingdom, it seems that her fate was sealed when Droana invaded the province of Dominia.

The imperial capital's order to Jesse was not transmitted through the royal guard, but directly used the empire's domesticated signal eagle, the shape of the signal eagle is very similar to the eagle, but it is much smaller than the eagle's physique, the whole body is as long as an adult's palm, although it is not big, but the flight speed is very fast, many people in the empire use it to communicate, but the security of this communication method is extremely low.

Luckily, the order passed to Jesse wasn't robbed. When Jesse had just finished breakfast. I'm about to go for a walk around the city. The Eagle landed in the rocking chair he was sitting in.

Jesse recognized this kind of message eagle, "It must be that kid from Sirin who got the hell, wait for me to see what is written on it", while thinking, he took off the letter box on the eagle's leg, but as soon as he saw the content of the message, the smile on his face froze, especially the two huge seals. It takes up almost all the blank space of the entire stationery.

Roland Military Dispatch and State Administration, Roland Military Counsellor's Department.

"Your Excellency!" said Gal, who was standing next to Jesse, who had been away from Wiasna for half a day, "Are we going east now?"

"To the east, why are we going east?" said Jesse, looking into the distance, and although Andus's west side was next to the Onnas Mountains, the place where Jesse and the others stood was still part of the West Kustanya Plain, though in fact some places were not flat.

Jesse was silent after he finished speaking, and the two of them were standing on a small raised high ground from which they could see far away. Gal glanced at Jesse, who had a serious face, and followed his example. I looked into the distance.

Although Jesse is now nearly 1.8 meters tall, he is still half a head shorter next to Garr, who is more than 1.9 meters.

"Gal how many times have I told you not to stand by my side like this, it will affect my image in the minds of the warriors. Jesse didn't take his right hand away from blocking the sun, and turned to Gaar.

Hearing this, Gal looked at Jesse, who was looking into the distance again, grinned slightly, and then lowered his head and walked towards the back of the slope, "Your image is fed with chicken drumsticks at every meal, and now there are no chicken drumsticks, alas, ......"

"What are you muttering about?"

Hearing this, Gal jerked back and saw that Jesse had come down from the high ground.

Gal had a wit in his heart, and said secretly: How is this adult's hearing getting better and better.

After taking two steps forward, Gal said with a smiling face, "My lord, if we don't go to the east, can't we go south?"

The place where they are now is exactly where the 16th Corps was stationed to the south, the infantry of the 16th Corps was completely annihilated, and thousands of cavalry seemed to have been almost captured by the enemy.

Originally, Jesse was still looking around and turned his head to check, but when he heard Gal's words, Jesse suddenly stopped, only to see his brows frown slightly, but he quickly relaxed, and the next moment he grabbed Gal's arms tightly: "Gal, you are really a genius, haha, according to your method, let's go south." ”

With that, Jesse rushed towards his horse, leaving Garr with a stunned face.

"Uh...... What can I do?" Gal froze in place, not relieving what Jesse was saying, "Did I say anything, hey...... My lord, Lord Jesse, where are we headed? ”

"Get on our horses, let's go to the banks of the Tsateria, where good things may be waiting for us. With that, Jesse gave the order to march south.

"On the banks of the Tsateria?" muttered Gal, asking him the name of Odo, and he would surely even tell him the number of houses there, but Andus was not familiar to him.

The Tsateria, which originates in Mount Onnas, is one of many rivers that originate from Mount Onnas, but is the only one that actually flows into the sea, and it flows through the province of Andus, then into the northeastern corner of the province of Dominia, and from there into the Imperial Territory.

The river next to the city of Tsav is the Tchatria River, which is known as the 'lifeblood of the imperial capital'.

Since then, Jesse has taken the first step against Droiana with nearly 10,000 new troops behind him.

In fact, it is not just De Rouana, Oluna, Orion, have started a new move, the vanguard of the province of Orian has also reached the south of Mount Onas, but it is necessary to borrow the road from Droanne to get through Guò, and then it is to cross directly from the high ground next to the town of Oonas, except for these two, there is no way, let tens of thousands of troops over the mountains, this is obviously not a good idea.

On the night that the elite army of Adonis destroyed the sixteenth army, the silver armor army of the Grand Duke of Oruna had already attacked the governor's palace of the province of Inoia.

Located in the northwest of the Empire, the province of Inoa was cut off from the empire by Mount Onnas, and had been in the pockets of the Grand Duke of Oruna since the governors of the west proclaimed themselves Grand Dukes.

Jesse's Freedom Flag Regiment is not too far from the Chatria River, if the cavalry is advancing at full speed, it only takes more than half a day to arrive, but Jesse will not do this, in the open plain, the cavalry is just that, but his 8,000 soldiers, but there are only more than 1,000 cavalry, the rest are infantry, in the time of Odo, he did not command the infantry to fight, but not commanding does not mean that he is a fool.

With such a long running distance, it would be at least half exhausting to death when people went up, and Angus was not very safe now, in case he met Adonis's subordinates, it would be a gift to someone's head.

Although most of his men were infantry, cavalry tactics were Jesse's specialty, and he organized his cavalry into three cavalry battalions, each with 400 men, such a battalion of cavalry would be enough to deal with all situations without encountering a large force of enemy cavalry.

And the remaining nearly 7,000 infantrymen were divided into four battalions by him, and Jesse favored them when he was in Wiesna, weapons and the like were the best choice, and now it was finally time for the sword to be unsheathed.

The first battalion of infantry was full of spearmen, the second and third battalions were melee soldiers, and the fourth battalion was a concentration of Jesse's archers, but they also acted as melee soldiers in close combat.

The initial army did not need to be complicated, as long as it was enough to deal with the upcoming battle, and after three hours of marching south on the land of Angus, the light of the sun had begun to slowly wane, and Jesse ordered everyone to camp, and it must be said that the efficiency of infantry camping was indeed much better than that of cavalry.

Jesse asked the troops to stop and camp early, but Xilin and they were still on the road day and night, not to mention the sunset, it was the first day of the journey, Xilin and they went until late at night, and some soldiers even fell asleep on the horse, so Xilin ordered to rest.

In the early hours of the next morning, however, as soon as it was dawn, the 27th Corps set out again, and on this day they were to reach Taransar and then make the next course of their advance.

Although the war has begun, it seems that people have not really felt the turmoil of the war, but everywhere, with the long marching line, the brewing great war will soon break out.

Early in the morning, June 1st, it was already dawn, and Jesse slowly walked out of the tent, then stretched a big lazy waist, and said to himself: "Damn, although I like to fight, I don't like to sleep in tents, oops...... I miss the big bed in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Ahh

When he could see the owner of the voice clearly, Jesse sweated heavily: "Gal, you said that you are so big, why do you walk without a sound at all." ”

"Oh...... Hehe......" Garr scratched the back of his head, "My lord, this is still a habit I used to develop. ”

Jesse glanced at Garr, "Okay, be careful in the future, my heart sometimes can't stand it." ”

"Yes, sir!" replied Garl.

"......" Jesse turned around and walked into the tent.

Seeing Jesse enter, Gal followed suit, "My lord, we can reach the Chatria River today, and I don't know what the situation is there." ”

"Chatria ......" Jesse pondered for a moment, "this way, Gar, let's divide the army into two roads now, you take the second and third battalions of cavalry, and I take the first battalion of cavalry and infantry, so as not to be covered by those guys, although we don't have many troops, but now we are separated, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages."
