Chapter 944, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are like landslides
Moïse frowned and said, "I didn't expect what the people of the Holy Roman Empire said was true, the Ming Army really called!" ”
The old prime minister, Sharm, said: "I'm afraid the Holy Roman Empire didn't have any good intentions when we told us this news, didn't they also go south to attack the country of Mora in the west?" "This old Longzhong Sharm, friends who have read the previous article must still remember, yes, he is the leader of the original Tianzhu northern aristocratic system, and now he migrated to the south with Moïse and became the right prime minister of the Peacock Kingdom. The left prime minister of the Peacock Kingdom is that Kanhan. The Kanhan family is also a northern aristocracy, but they can only be regarded as second-rate characters in the northern aristocratic system. However, since they migrated to the south with Moïse, the Kanhan family has become one of the leading figures, and has a faint momentum over the Sharman family.
Kanhan said: "We don't have to worry about the Holy Roman Empire now, our current threat is the Ming Dynasty!" ......" Sharm's heart was very displeased, but it was not easy to reprimand.
I only heard Kanhan continue: "Guishan has completely collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will attack us, so we must immediately mobilize heavy troops to defend the northern front against the possible attack of the Ming Dynasty!" One of the most important is Bhubaneswar! As long as we hold Bhubaneswar, we are safe! ”
Everyone except Sharma nodded one after another, and Moïse, the former generalissimo of Tianzhu North, who had already become the king, said: "Prime Minister Zuo is right! Heavy forces must be mobilized immediately to strengthen the defenses of the northern front! My idea is to withdraw a part of the troops and horses from the Deccan plateau to support the northern front,......"
Before he could finish speaking, an officer rushed in in a hurry. The crowd couldn't help but stop talking and turned their heads to look.
The officer went straight to Moïse, knelt down with a thud, and said urgently: "Your Majesty is no good! Oh no! ......" Speaking of this, I couldn't lift it in one breath, and I choked on the words that followed.
The crowd became anxious, and Moïse asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”
The officer breathed a sigh of relief and said urgently: "I just received an urgent report from Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar is lost!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. Moïse, who had been sitting, couldn't help but get up when he heard this, and exclaimed in disbelief: "This is impossible! How is this possible? The officer hurriedly said: "This is the urgent report from the rout of Bhubaneswar just now, it must be true!" ”
Moïse's mind was in a mess, flustered, and he didn't know what to do. The ministers were also panicked and lost their ideas for a while.
It was Kanhan who reacted first and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the situation is already very urgent, please immediately dispatch heavy troops to resist the Ming army!" ”
Moïse showed a look of fear and muttered: "The Ming army is more fierce than the tiger wolf, and now that Bhubaneswar has been lost, we, can we still compete with them?" Hundreds of thousands of Kshatriyas have fallen apart in just a few days, we, we are no match for them! ”
Kanhan said urgently: "Your Majesty must not lose your fighting spirit!" We have hundreds of thousands of elites, relying on geographical advantages to defend to the death, there is absolutely no reason that we can't defeat the Ming people! Then he asked for a battle: "Please give an order from Your Majesty, and the minister is willing to lead the army to fight to the death with the Ming army!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but feel moved, and looked at Kanhan, Moïse said with a relieved face: "I am very happy that you have such an idea. However, there was still a hesitant look on his face.
Kanhan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has broken through Bhubaneswar, and it will definitely go straight in, if you don't dispatch a large army in time, the situation will really be difficult to manage!" ”
Sharme said angrily: "If you can't win, rashly sending troops will be your own trouble!" ”
Kanhan asked unceremoniously: "The old prime minister's words are really unreasonable!" The enemy has already come in, so why talk about causing trouble? Sharme was furious when he saw that he dared to openly strengthen himself, but the other party was right, he hated it in his heart, but he couldn't attack. Kanhan asked Moïse for battle again.
Moïse only felt that there was really no other way now, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Looking at Sharm, "I will appoint you as the generalissimo of Zhenguo, commanding 300,000 soldiers and horses to resist the Yanyun army!" Sharmam was overjoyed, bowed down and agreed, and then said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely take down Shi Liancheng's head and present it to Your Majesty!" Moïse was overjoyed.
At this moment, the official in charge of foreign affairs rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the country of Moda has sent an envoy to ask our country to send troops to support. ”
Moïse frowned, and said angrily: "How can I have the energy to care about them now." Then he said to Sharm: "Right Prime Minister, you go and meet them, find out the specific situation on the other side of the country of Moda, and don't promise them anything." Sharma bowed in agreement.
Moïse frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "I wonder if the Moda Kingdom can withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire?" ”
How could the kingdom of Mora withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire? Bhopal, the most important city in the north of the kingdom of Maga, fell in just two days under the onslaught of the Holy Roman Empire's army, and all but one of the 30,000 defenders were disarmed and surrendered. Immediately, the Maga Kingdom gathered a large army at the Narmada River to try to stop the advance of the Holy Roman Empire's army, and the two sides fought a great battle here, and the result was that within five days, the Tianzhu army lost three defeats in a row, discarded all the baggage, and the remnants of the defeated army fled straight south.
The armies of the Holy Roman Empire swept south, and soon the two great cities of Dammam and Silvassa fell, followed by the army of the HRE approaching the city of Bombay. This Mumbai is the capital of the kingdom of Maga. The whole kingdom of Mordah was so terrified that King Salman almost wanted to abandon Bombay and fled south.
And at this moment, something suddenly happened that changed Salman's mind.
That night, the whole city of Mumbai was in turmoil, and the princes and ministers, all the nobles, down to the lowest peddlers, all dragged their families and prepared to flee from Mumbai.
Salman stood alone in the main hall in a daze. A close officer rushed up.
Salman came back to his senses and asked, "Packed up?" But the officer said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, come and take a look, there is something going on outside the city!" ”
Salman thought that the army of the Holy Roman Empire was coming, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "The enemy army has attacked?" So fast? ”
The officer shook his head vigorously, "No! It was someone attacking the barracks of the Holy Roman Empire! ”
Salman was amazed and rushed out of the hall. Moments later, Salman ascended to the highest attic in the palace and looked out of the city. I saw that the fire outside the city was blazing, and half of the night sky was lit up! When I looked closely, I found that the military camp of the Holy Roman Empire was blazing, and under the reflection of the firelight, I saw a figure longing.
Salman was surprised and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Who raided the camp of the Holy Roman Empire? The people around him shook their heads blankly.
Salman was even more strange, looking at the HRE camp outside the city, and suddenly felt that maybe he didn't have to give up Bombay. An order was immediately issued to close the gates of the city and to guard it tightly. Salman and a large group of royal nobles have been standing in the attic and watching out of the city, hoping that the mysterious power of unknown origin will annihilate the HRE army in one fell swoop.
In the HRE barracks, the flames were rolling, the Generalissimo Goode roared angrily, some of the soldiers and horses hurriedly put out the fire, and the others searched everywhere for the sneak attackers.
The next morning, when the flames were finally extinguished, the whole camp was in shambles.
Mueller rushed to Goode and reported: "Commander, the flames have been completely extinguished, but no raiders have been found!" Goode said angrily: "Careless! Careless! I originally thought that the Tianzhu monkeys didn't have to worry about anything, but I didn't expect them to dare to launch such a surprise attack! I really underestimated them! ”
Mueller frowned: "The enemy has silently eliminated our sentinels and eliminated a patrol, and we have not been aware of it from beginning to end!" When we knew that the fire was out of control, we were shocked! I don't think this is something that a monkey can do! ”
When Gude heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and asked, "Are you saying that it was not the Tianzhu people who attacked us last night, but the Daming people?" ”
Mueller nodded and said, "Since we will stumble on them, it is reasonable for them to obstruct us." Of the surrounding forces, I am afraid that the only ones who have the ability to launch the kind of sneak attack last night are the Ming people! ”
Goode nodded, "You're right! Then he scolded: "Damn the Great Ming! He looked at Müller and asked, "How much grain and grass do we have?" ”
Mueller said: "Almost all of them have been lost, and the current food stock in the army is only enough for our army for two days." I felt that it would be safe to withdraw the army to Silvassa at once. ”
Goode paced back and forth, his face thoughtful. Suddenly stopped, and said categorically: "No! I'm going to attack Mumbai! Muller was shocked and said urgently: "But ......"
Goode raised his hand to interrupt him, and said confidently, "I know what you have to say. You don't have to worry at all, I have absolutely put me! ”
Salman and the other noble ministers had been standing in the attic watching the movements of the HRE army outside the city. Seeing that the grain and grass in the camp were almost completely burned, they thought that they could only retreat, but after waiting for a long time, they found that the HRE army had no intention of retreating at all. Suddenly, the sound of war drums and trumpets that is unique to the HRE rang out loudly, and the sound shook the sky. Salman and the others were all shocked, and then they were shocked to see that the HRE army not only did not retreat, but instead drove out of the camp and pressed towards the city. Salman and the others were so frightened that they didn't know what to do for a while.
The city was in turmoil, and the soldiers and civilians were running around like headless flies, some fleeing home, others trying to get out of the city.
Salman saw that the army of the HRE was overwhelmed, and urgently ordered all the armies to go to the city to defend it. Soon, however, there was an urgent report that many of the generals had opened the gates of the city and fled for their lives, and that many of the armies had broken up. Salman was shocked, and the prince next to him, Salhei, shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, let's run away, otherwise it will be too late!" Then he summoned the guards and took Salman away. Salman was in a daze, and he didn't know how he had left the palace.
Goode saw that the Tianzhu people themselves had become a mess, and immediately attacked the next Anning army. The HRE army poured in like a tidal wave, and with little resistance, it poured into Mumbai. The city was completely chaotic, and the soldiers and civilians who had not had time to escape from the city took refuge in their houses, trembling and waiting for the judgment of fate.
By the time Goode walked into Salman's palace, Salman was gone.
Goode then walked up to Salman's throne, sat down, and laughed: "These useless Tianzhu people have even lost the capital so easily!" It seems that they are only worthy of being slaves! The crowd burst into laughter.
Müller hurried into the main hall and saluted Gude: "Marshal, the enemy has fled southward, and those who did not flee have all disarmed and surrendered, a total of almost 20,000 surrendered troops. ”
Goode nodded and said, "The road from our imperial capital to the east is continuing to be built by manpower, so let's transport all these captives over." ”
Mueller replied, and said: "The eleven storehouses in the city have fallen into our hands in their entirety, and there are countless gold, silver, treasures, grain, and cloth, and we have a great harvest!" ”
"Good!" Goode exclaimed. The general, Khedira, rushed in, bowed and said, "Generalissimo, Lord Andrew has sent news. He then stepped forward and handed a letter to Goode, and then retreated into the queue.
Goode opened the letter, read it, frowned, and said depressedly: "Damn, our plan has not succeeded!" ”
All the generals were moved, and Mueller hurriedly asked: "Generalissimo, is it about Kushan?" ”
Goode raised the letter in his hand and said angrily: "Those Tianzhu people are really useless, we have already told them the news, and they have been defeated so badly!" In just a few days, Kushan was completely defeated, leaving only Kshatriyas and hundreds of remnants of the defeated army to flee into the territory of the Peacock Kingdom! ”
When the people heard this, they were not surprised. Muller said: "The Tianzhu people can't compete with the Ming Army, and this result is quite reasonable!" ”
Goode looked at the letter paper and frowned: "Not only has Guishan collapsed, but even Bhubaneswar, the northern important town of the Peacock Kingdom, has also been occupied by the Ming Dynasty. The situation in the east is not optimistic about the Tianzhu people! ”
Mueller asked, "In that case, didn't the Peacock King take countermeasures?" ”
Goode laughed mockingly, "They have mobilized a large army to go north to face the Ming army, but I think these useless Tianzhu monkeys are just going to die!" ”
Mueller said hurriedly: "Generalissimo, we have to hurry!" Otherwise, the Ming people will preemptively sweep the entire Peacock Kingdom, but it will be against us! ”
Goode nodded, and immediately ordered: "Leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Mumbai, and the rest of the armies will only rest for one night, and then go south!" Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have much time, and we must completely solve the country of Moda before the Ming people defeat the Peacock Kingdom! Only in this way can our Holy Roman Empire get the maximum benefits, otherwise most of the benefits will be eaten by the Ming people! Everyone couldn't help but show anxiety, and they all shouted and agreed.
Early the next morning, the army of the Holy Roman Empire swept south in multiple routes. Although the Tianzhu people are fortified layer by layer, they are simply nothing. Whenever the HRE strikes, the defenders immediately run away with no men. The HRE army rolled south, and the villages and cities of Maga were quickly incorporated into the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. This is not so much a war as a group hunt, and the Shinra soldiers are in a relaxed mood, and there are jokes and jokes along the way.
In just half a month, the cities and lands below Mumbai fell one after another, and in the end, Salman was at a loss and could only lead the remaining remnants of the defeated army to flee into the Peacock Kingdom.
Since the HRE had settled the kingdom of Maga, even if it was ready to use troops against the Mauryan Kingdom, the army quickly assembled on the Deccan Plateau. And at this moment, Andrew and others, who were originally staying in Hyderabad, the royal capital of the Peacock Kingdom, arrived.
Goode immediately met with Andrew and inquired about the situation in the East.
Andrew said: "Not long ago, the Ming army annihilated the 300,000 army led by Kanhan, the left prime minister of the Peacock Kingdom, in Bajieli, and then the army swept all the way south, and Hyderabad received an alarm that the whole city was terrified, so I took this opportunity to leave Hyderabad. I was going to Bombay, but when I heard that the marshal's army had arrived, I came near. ”
Goode frowned and asked, "You mean that the Great Ming Army has annihilated the main force of the Peacock Kingdom?" ”
Andrew nodded, "Yes." I heard that nearly 100,000 people were killed, and almost all of the rest were taken prisoner. Only a few hundred people escaped. ”
Goode then asked, "How far is the Bajieli you are talking about from their capital, Hyderabad?" ”
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "If the army marches at full speed, it will take ten days." ”
Goode immediately thought, "Ten days, deducting the time it takes for you to send the news, they should be able to arrive in Hyderabad in about five days." It will take about five days for our army to set off from here. Without further ado, it must be pulled out now! Then he said to the generals: "The original planned rest time is teased, and the army that has arrived will set off immediately!" Muller, you lead 30,000 horsemen first, and you must take Hyderabad before the Ming people! The generals answered and ran down.
Andrew said: "Generalissimo, you don't have to be so convened! When I arrived, Moïse and the others were gathering all the forces they could to defend Hyderabad. I think let's let the Ming people go to fight first, and then we will arrive and pack up the Ming people and Tianzhu people together! Why be in such a hurry! ”
Goode said angrily: "How long do you think the Tianzhu people can resist?" Look at the battles during this time, no matter what happens on the Eastern Front and the Western Front, which battlefield is not overwhelming? Such a vast and boundless land was almost completely occupied by us and the Ming people in just a few months! The Tianzhu monkey is a waste at all, if the Ming army is allowed to reach Hyderabad first, they will definitely attack the city and occupy the city in one fell swoop! And the Ming army is not a useless Indian monkey, if they occupy Hyderabad, we will take it again, but we don't know how much we will pay! We must get to Hyderabad before the Ming people do, and take Hyderabad! Seize the initiative, and then the situation will be in our favor! ”
Andrew didn't know much about military affairs, but after listening to his words, he only felt that it seemed to make sense, so he didn't say anything more.
The elites of the Holy Roman Empire drove one after another, heading towards Hyderabad at the eastern foot of the Deccan Plateau, advancing rapidly in the Deccan Plateau like evil dragons. At the same time, the Ming army was also rapidly marching towards Hyderabad.
In the face of the murderous elite divisions of the two great powers, what are the Hyderabad people doing in the middle of the whirlpool? The shopkeepers and merchants in the city are closed, and it is rare to see a pedestrian on the street; However, the sound of prayers echoed over the city, and it turned out that in the city of Hyderabad, everyone from the king's ministers to the soldiers, common people, peddlers, and pawns were praying to the gods they worshipped. Pray that the gods will perform miracles to destroy the invaders and protect them. At this moment, the only hope in the hearts of the people of Hyderabad is their Heavenly Buddha! All the people were very pious, and the king's ministers brought out their precious jewels, while the people took out the money they had saved and donated them to their gods, praying that the gods would soon send down miracles to protect them!
Just as the people of Hyderabad were pinning all their hopes on the gods and Buddhas, the sound of war drums like the voice of the devil suddenly crossed the sky and reached the city. When people heard this voice, they couldn't help but be terrified, and the pious chanting that had been echoing over the city gradually stopped.
An officer stumbled into the palace hall in a frenzy. fell to the ground with a thud, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!" Yes, it was the army of the Holy Roman Empire that had arrived! The crowd was shocked and completely overwhelmed.
Muller led 30,000 horsemen through the Deccan Plateau and appeared west of Hyderabad. I saw the dust rolling and the flags rolling.
The 30,000 HRE warriors soon arrived outside the western city of Hyderabad, and seeing that the gates were closed, but the city walls were in chaos, Muller couldn't help but smile with disdain, and he was ready to order the siege.
However, at this moment, a scout came galloping and hurriedly reported: "General, there are Ming cavalry outside the city in the east, about 20,000 people!" ”
Mueller muttered: "The Ming people are also coming quickly!" Then he said to an officer beside him: "You immediately go to the Ming army, tell them that we arrived here first, and this place should belong to our Holy Roman Empire, please retreat immediately!" The officer answered, and immediately rode away. Müller ordered his cavalry to prepare for battle, but not to attack the city.
Soon after, the officer sent back and said to Mueller: "General, the Ming people refuse to leave, they say that the land east of the Deccan Plateau belongs to their Ming Dynasty, and they want us to leave immediately!" ”
Mueller smiled coldly and muttered: "If it doesn't make sense, then you have to go to war!" Then he said to the officer: "Go and tell them that we will keep our agreement and withdraw immediately." The officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "General, are you saying that we will withdraw immediately?" Mueller nodded, "That's it, go!" The officer was depressed, but he did not dare to disobey the military order, so he immediately answered the promise and ran down.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
