Threats that are not threats (iii)

At the beginning of February, the battle of the Green Corridor, which lasted for half a month, ended, and the battle shook the momentum of Vekia again, in front of more than 100,000 Kugit cavalry, the Vikhidian army in the case of inferior forces, once again and its strong posture, from the front of the Kugit people in the periphery of the corridor, just one day of battle, the 60,000 Kugit left flank annihilated, so that the whole battle situation was reversed

As some internal information was revealed, the truth of this unbelievable battle situation was peeled back layer by layer, and the horror of the mainland's No. 1 general really made everyone feel irrepressible shock.

From deliberately betraying their weaknesses in the front to make it difficult to give full play to the advantages of the Kugit cavalry, to releasing 60,000 prisoners of war in the back and completely crushing the last will of the Kugit people to resist, these unheard-of methods were enough to make all the generals of the kingdom feel a cold sweat from their souls to their bodies

This qiē made the prestige of the fat man, the first general, even his enemies have to show respect for this guy, fighting a war to this extent, it can no longer be called a war, it should be called the art of command

Because there are too many powerful families and several powerful kingdoms that can be called powerful, they all hit their heads in front of the Vekia Falcon, so that the fat man of Samar was called the "Whip of Immortality" by some herdsmen from the Kugit steppe in addition to the daunting title of Vekia Falcon

This represents a supreme glory, in the entire history of Kujitte, only the first generation of Kugit kings have such a privilege, other people's whip ōu is a war horse, but the whip of the immortal heaven is a kingdom on the continent, the kingdom is like a livestock grazing, such an atmospheric idea is only the straightforward and unrestrained Kujiit people

This Whip of Immortal Heaven has just completed the pacification of the Tulka region, and once again extended its sphere of influence to the northeast of the continent for thousands of square miles, except for the Khan King Ssai Ali who fled with the only remaining 5,000 royal court guards under his command, the other patriarchs of the various clans chose to join the Wikibians in hesitation and hesitation.

This event, which changed the entire pattern of the north, marked the end of the Tuga era, and the end of the era when the West Kugit people, who had ruled the steppes for hundreds of years, dominated the north.

A qiē glory rises with the whip of the immortal heaven

As for the source of this qiē, at this moment, I am riding a horse on the streets of Tulga, the holy city of Tulga, which has just been collapsed by heavy rain, is full of large mouths that have been cracked by the cold and frozen, from south to north, from west to east, one foot long, one zhang long, the ruins of collapsed houses almost buried the entire city of Tulga,

Seeing this, the fat man has affirmed his thoughts, the bullshit heavy rain, this is definitely caused by an irresistible earthquake, because too many Kugit people have chosen to migrate south, in order to avoid the wrath of the Immortal Heaven this time, there are no pedestrians on the frozen streets, there is a sad atmosphere everywhere, only the dim sunlight shining from the street corner, shining on the original crowded avenue

Stopping the war horse under his crotch, the fat man looked at the city in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a few sighs, the holy city of Turga has never been so barren, it has always been a holy place in the hearts of Kujits, and it is the object of worship of countless tribes, but now it is like a body that has lost its soul, leaving only festering wounds, stinking in this desolate place

Because of the collapse of the top mountain, the original location of the royal court has become a single wall, can only go up through a winding path, the original golden palace has also collapsed in this disaster, and there is no longer the magnificent structure of the year, the white Tulga Holy Mountain, now only the towering big black mountain stone inscription, because it is composed of solid obsidian rock mass, in this collapse unscathed, still appear to be pulled, so that the Kugit people of Tulga believe in the magic of this stone tablet even more

"I have informed the Mo family in the west, let them transport materials through the western wilderness," the fat man pointed with a horsewhip and turned his head to Salon behind him and ordered, "You immediately organize the manpower and clear this place as soon as possible, this place will be the central province of our control of the Tulga steppe, I will keep the 20,000-strong Tulga Legion in Tulga City, and the commander of the legion wants to hear your opinion",

"Your Excellency wants to rebuild this city?" Salon's cloudy eyes swept over the huge ruins in front of him, and he gasped, "This is a huge project, even if the 40,000 troops outside the city are mobilized, it will take at least a month to clean it up, and if you want to restore it as before, it is impossible without 5 years."

"5 years?" the fat man heard Ssalon's words, coiled up the horsewhip in his hand, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "This is a holy city that the Kujit people have spent countless jīng efforts to continuously improve for hundreds of years, not to mention 5 years, even if you are given another 50 years, you will not be able to restore this city"

"What do you mean?"

Salon looked at the fat man suspiciously, not knowing what he was selling in his lord's heart, as the fat man said, the city of Tulka in front of him is the holy city in the hearts of the Kujitts, which has been built since more than 400 years ago, and several Khan kings have taken this place as the center of ruling the steppe, and its hard work and time on it are unimaginable, saying that it will take 5 years to complete the restoration, even Salon is stubbornly agreed

"I want you to rebuild the city of Tulga, not that you restore the old city to its original state" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the winding continental border outside the city, "Do you see there? The reconstruction of the holy city can start from there, 40,000 troops plus the herdsmen who volunteered to help should be able to build a new Tulka city within half a year, as for this ruin, it can be opened to all Kugit as religious relics after it is cleared"

"This can not only achieve the purpose of establishing a control center, but also allow more Kujiit people to retain a good impression of us in their hearts" The fat man's voice paused, "Respect for the aborigines must first respect their beliefs, so that we can gain a foothold here, otherwise, we will soon become a passing passerby and be erased by history"

"Let's talk about the situation of the Left Guard Department in the desert on the west side of Tulga," the fat man suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that since the Tulga area was empty, the attacks of the Left Guard cavalry have become more and more unscrupulous, the closest to Tulga, even only 50 miles away from our current position, even if it was before, this is our territory, if we let it go, it will be a heavy blow to our prestige, and then all the Kugit people will treat us as paper tigers."

"Yes, that's what your lord said," Saloon nodded cautiously and introduced to the fat man, "My 2 banner regiments have been stationed at the Gelha Mountain Fortress on the west side of Tulka, and cooperated with Duo Weiyan's cavalry to intercept the Left Guard cavalry, but because we have just entered, the region and climate are not adaptable, and it is difficult for our infantry to grasp the direction of their movement in front of the Left Guard cavalry who come and go like the wind, and it is still a blind spot for the range of activities, so this situation has been created."

"Is the leader of the Left Guard still the Left Guard King?" the fat man asked, frowning, turning his head

"No, I heard that it is an NV person" Salon God - affirmed "It is said that when the Left Guard King was trapped in Aichemor, the Tulga royal court wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate the Left Guard, but because of the ventilation of an NV person, the whole clan migrated to the desert on the west side, and escaped a disaster on the western steppe, as for the Left Guard King, because of the surrender of the Rui Erdian people, the prestige of the guide zhì dropped dramatically, and now he can only serve as a small leader in the Left Guard Department"

"It's good if it's not the king of the Left Guard," the corner of the fat man's mouth suddenly showed a sly smile, and he ordered Salon, "Immediately gather all the banner commanders in Tulga, and we will study here tonight how to entertain these friends of the Left Guard."

"Yes, my lord," Salon replied loudly, and quickly issued a mobilization order to the heralds behind him, this time there were 4 banner regiments with the fat man in the Tulga area, a total of 36,000 people, plus the 20,000 cavalry of the Duowei Yan Division, it was more than enough to deal with the 20,000 scattered cavalry of the Left Guard Division,

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the lonely and dark city of Tulka was brightly lit, and countless tents were like a bright cloud that spread into the distant sky

It became the base camp of the Vekian army, and the senior officers of the Vikian army gathered here, waiting for the fat man's orders. The faces of these generals were quite solemn, for the Commander of the Saron Legion had already blown the wind when he gave the order, and everyone could vaguely perceive that the Grand Duke's decision was related to the recent fierce Left Guard cavalry, and that this decision was related to a very important strategic action.

Seeing the number of Qi, the fat man stood up steadily, picked up the command bāng, pointed to the west side of Tulka on the military map, and said calmly and calmly,

"I believe everyone knows what we are going to discuss tonight, this is the place we are about to attack, Jilin, the base camp of the Left Guard, although this is just a small town in the desert, it is not very sinister, but it will not be good for us to drag on for a long time. Because they will make the Tulga people rekindle the hope of fighting in their hearts, which is very bad for us to stabilize the Tulga

In order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, I decided to mobilize all the forces in Tulga, focus on the cavalry of Duo Weiyan, and take out this nail on the west side of Turga with lightning speed."

"Attack on Jilin"

The generals of Vecchia did not squint one by one, although they had already guessed that it would be such a decision, but when the Grand Duke officially said it, the senior officers present still felt a little surprised and a little puzzled. Why did the Grand Duke know the location of the base camp of the Left Guard, which has always been dominated by tours

However, they did not object or doubt the fat man's decision. In fact, they also knew that this was the best way to quickly stabilize the hearts of the Tulga people, as long as they preemptively eliminated the remnants of the Left Guard, then the ambitions of the Kugit could be firmly in the hands of Vecchia, and no matter how much they tossed, they could not change their fate.

As long as the left guard is settled, let Duo Weiyan's 20,000 Kugit cavalry equipped with jīng liang be freed up, and then wave his troops to expand eastward. Isn't that a piece of cake?

As for suppressing the resistance of the Tulga people, it is not a big deal, there is no loss in terms of substantive interests, this is not in Wikia, and the people here are not Wikibians, and a certain rebellion is inevitable.

It's just possible to hurt the wiki a little bit nominally, and possibly lose the morale boost for a while. But the demise of the Left Guards cavalry would soon make it clear to these Kugits who was the true owner of the land. The Kugit are a country that respects the strong, and if you want everyone to admire you, you have to come up with extraordinary means

"I have an opinion on the Grand Duke's plan" Sangert, the deputy commander of the Samor Guards Legion, took a cursory look at the specific battle plan drawn up, did not see the task of his own troops, and hurriedly stood up and said, "We are the sharpest swords of the Vikchian army, we can't let other troops rush to the front, while we stay in the rear"

"Of course, good steel must be used on the blade, not to mention the sharpest war knife in my Vecchia, naturally I will not forget you" The fat man stared at him with blazing eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and pointed to the corner of the map and said in a deep voice

"This is the city of Natu in the north of the desert, it is the only junction to the north, the geographical position is very important, the left guard cavalry will definitely choose to withdraw from here if it is suppressed, but our strength in Natu is only 1,000 tribal soldiers who have just surrendered. Therefore, the 3,000 Samor Guards cavalry you lead will be mainly responsible for the defense of Natu, which is not an easy task. The time limit I give you is half a month to stick to that picture. In half a month, we can solve the problem of the Left Guards cavalry. ”

"Subordinates will complete the task"

Sangert raised his head and nodded solemnly, his already slightly flushed face even redder. Garrisoning Natu City is indeed not an easy task, 3,000 Samor guards plus 1,000 scattered tribal soldiers, if you want to resist the impact of 20,000 brave left guard cavalry, it is simply a task to be put to death, to be able to bear such a burden, but also to see the importance that the Grand Duke attaches to himself

Hearing Sangert's mission, the other generals all looked at the fat man with expectant eyes.

The fat man took a slight breath, looked at the expectant eyes of the other commanders, and said calmly, "This battle plan must be kept absolutely secret, after all, this is the territory of the Kujits, and our every move is likely to be under the surveillance of the enemy, but according to my estimate, as long as we move quickly, before we get our exact news, the Left Guards cavalry should not have time to react, and be able to hit him by surprise, and by the time he understands, we have gone to his back and stabbed him fiercely."

"Remember," the fat man's voice paused, and said in a stern tone, "the most fundamental way to crack the Left Guard cavalry." It is not about increasing the number of troops, but about concentrating the forces and bringing into play the powerful assault capabilities of our infantry formations"

For the fat man's decision, General Vicchia and others felt prickly and excited, they are all officers who like to take the initiative to attack, some time ago came the news about the invasion of the left guard cavalry, so that these generals who are used to being strong feel a little angry, and now they finally have the opportunity to take the initiative, and the opponent is still stubbornly resisting. ,

In order to perfect the plan, the fat man asked them to express their opinions, and after a moment of silence, there was soon an argument in the hall,

The generals gathered on the military map, weighing the pros and cons of this eastward transfer, discussing the various contingencies that might arise and giving countermeasures.

The military meeting lasted until dawn, and only after watching the generals who were still unabated with the god Jīng leave, did the fat man put on his thick velvet cloak and returned to his camp

At the beginning of the evening, the Vikchian army began to carry out the secret encirclement plan in accordance with the pre-arranged order. In the first half of the night, Sangert led his 3,000 Samor guards to secretly go north in the dark, and only said to his subordinates that he was on a secret mission, and did not tell all the rest, and all the horses that followed him were silenced. The horse had a stick in its mouth, and a thick cloth on its hooves

Sure enough, as soon as the cavalry led by Sangert left, the fat man received a report from the scout, and his eyes were already following Sangert.

In the second half of the night, the main forces of the Vekia army began to secretly advance eastward in batches according to the planned route,

In the early morning of the third day, the fat man was already standing on the loess mound northeast of Grimm, looking at Grimm City in the wilderness in the distance with a very cautious gaze, and the Vecchian army was rushing forward from the wilderness at the fat man's feet

The main force of the 40,000 Samor Army, at the same time in the early morning, launched a powerful offensive against the unaware Green City Wall, as the fat man expected, because the troops moved in different directions in order, and sure enough, the eyes arranged by the Left Guard Department were at a loss, and they did not realize that this was a premeditated move, but only regarded it as a normal adjustment of the army

Because the tracking in the vast grassland is too conspicuous, these following eyes are not far away, they are killed by the sniper crossbowmen lurking in the shadows, and after receiving a safe signal, the Vikia army, which was moving in other directions just now, suddenly turned around and rushed towards the target in the north

When hundreds of heavy trebuchets pierced the sky at the first dawn, they threw fuel bombs into the air at the same time, and the dense black dots even obscured the sun's brilliance.

A strange and violent whistling sound shattered the good dreams of the still dazed and ignorant Left Guard cavalry,

The earth trembled in a dense and violent explosion, and the debris flew on the low Grimm City, and the explosion of fire raged like a fire dragon on the shattered and collapsed south wall.

Completely stunned, the defenders could only huddle in the hidden soldiers dug in the walls, and watched with frightened and helpless eyes as their comrades outside surrounded by fire let out a terrible howl, and jumped from the towering city wall with flames burning all over their bodies

After three consecutive rounds of "woo woo" was thrown by the trebuchet, the trumpet of the attack resounded in the sky.

In the sound of neat commands, the Samar infantry phalanx emerged from the ambush point and began to slowly move forward several shield walls composed of dense shields, shining golden in the golden morning light, and the towering spear clusters had been lowered.

"Giggles" hundreds of improvised siege arrow towers, in the morning fog L- out of a hideous face, under the escort of the military formation, slowly approached the city wall of Green

"It's Wikibians, fast, fast trebuchet"

At this moment, the left guard soldiers in the city reacted, and the terrible shouts resounded through the city, huge stones rolled and fell down like raindrops, and the people in the Vikya army turned over a huge stone bullet on their backs and plowed a bloody mark in the Vikya queue

One soldier was crushed underneath, reduced into a pile of bloody shards, and a dozen hoplites had their shields shattered, and people were knocked out

"Assault, attack the city wall" Instead of flinching in the face of the tragic scene, the Vikia infantry rushed towards the city wall only thirty meters away, and the left guard cavalry was obviously not good at defending the city, and the stone throws for the counterattack were also sparse and disproportionate

As the siege engine baffle fell, the Vekia hoplites rushed out with shields in their hands at the same time, and the planks on both sides of the building car spread out in unison, forming a long bridge covered with dense heavy crossbowmen.

In the loud shout of "Crossbow Assault", countless black arrow clusters were like flying locusts that drowned the enemy in front of them
