Huacheng Island

In the dead of night, there is no one on the street, only a patrol in black armor walks by, since the signing of the Lend-Lease agreement, Huacheng Island has become the base camp of the Falcon Army, the inhabitants of the island are not many, less than 15,000 people, and at this moment the army and fleet on Huacheng Island are several times that of the native residents, especially the arrival of the grassland people, so that the tavern business on the island is booming, in the cold winter, the grassland people have the habit of drinking, and sometimes they get drunk and make trouble,

But in the face of rows of murderous Falcon patrols with heavy infantry crossbows, after knowing that these are infantry heavy crossbows that even knights' armor can penetrate, even the most daring steppe warriors will choose to stand still and accept the arrest of the patrol team

Drinking and making trouble, at most is the punishment of a few whips, the grassland people have been used to it since childhood, if they are shot by a heavy crossbow when escaping, it is not as simple as one arrow and two holes, the arrows of the falcon infantry heavy crossbow are Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows with blood grooves, once pierced into the body, it will be a bloody long cut, and it is difficult to stop the bleeding, for this, the Xiting people who have fought fiercely with the falcon army in the northern grassland are still fresh in their memory. How many tribal warriors who are famous in the steppe never get up again after an arrow

In early spring, the climate is already a little cold, and the faint smell of grass wafts in the air. This used to be the villa of Raphael County King, this weak county king, in his villa planted all the same color of roses,

The fat man stretched his waist, stood up from the pile of papers, picked up the hot towel on the dish next to him and wiped his face vigorously, making himself feel a little refreshed, and then picked up the bitter Ding leaf extorted from Duo Xue, and took a sip of it. The bitter lion leaf is a specialty of the Dorok Mountains, and it tastes very bitter, which makes him frown. Place the cup back into the plate. A slight voice alarmed Besukaya, who was napping on the sofa next to her, "Teacher!"

Besukaya opened her eyes tiredly, trying to stand up, but the fat man gestured for her not to move. Just when she was confused, the fat man's eyes looked sharply at the window in the corner of the wall, "Since you're here, why don't you come in!" Under Besukaya's confused gaze, the window suddenly opened from the outside, and a petite figure jumped in, staggering, and didn't seem to stand firmly. Unexpectedly, he was planted on the ground, and the red blood on the ground undoubtedly indicated that this person was injured, "Really, why is you so careless! The ten-day deadline seems to be the eleventh day now!" The fat man walked over, squatted down, and looked at the little master who was holding his blood-stained shoulder, half-squatting on the ground, and his face was pale in pain...... I'm sorry!" Mellon Rowling, the little stabbing master, lowered her head with an ugly face, "Forget it." For your first mission!"

The fat man held Merlon's crumbling body with one hand, and it was undeniable that the little master's action outfit was very full of a weirdly sexy, tight black hunting suit. There is a long dagger tied to his thighs, a chestnut ponytail and long braids, and there is a sexy demeanor on his upper and lower faces, which may be due to the cultivation of some secret method. The tight leather hunting suit on the whole body is like a female leopard full of strength, full of wonderful curves like a bowstring. Let the fat man secretly see swallowing a mouthful of saliva,

The fat man asked Besukaya to find bandaged gauze and wound medicine, Mellon Rowling looked like she had suffered a very tragic battle, the blood in the shoulder area was still oozing out, the fat man gave up his place to Besukaya, a professional healer, and bandaged it densely with a white strap several times, and the blood gradually slowed down, but the spots could still be seen red.

"Intelligence, the details are all here! The Ninth Army of Gangfei secretly transferred back to Gangfei Kyoto ......"

The dark stabbing little master Mellon Rowling's voice was weak, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and he took out a small sealed wooden cylinder with difficulty, with a waterproof red wax seal on it, the fat man stretched out his hand to pick up the wooden cylinder, and couldn't help but be stunned, his hands were stained with Mellon Rowling's blood, it turned out that it was not red wax, but was infected red by blood, the fat man didn't even look at the information, put it on the table casually, and waved his hand to Besukaya, "Help her to the bed first, and find the best military doctor immediately!"

"Alright, Your Majesty's promise......" Mellon Rowling was panting, covered in blood, but her voice and will were clear

"I'll comply!" the fat man put his arm around her shoulder, picked her up himself, and nodded at her,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mellon Rowling took a slight breath with a relieved smile, so that her voice could be smoother and smoother, and the light spots in her pupils seemed to show signs of dissipation, and said slowly, "It turns out that it is so difficult to get a piece of information, no wonder my sister specially instructed me to treat every member of the assassination well, because they are doing things for the organization with their blood and lives, but I am self-righteous and use money to trade, so that all their efforts are in vain!"

The fat man's face was silent, he only felt a little bitter taste in his mouth, and he regretted it a little in his heart, although he was the master of the secret stab, but after all, he was still a child!

In fact, as long as you say a word, you can calm down the whole situation, you want to say something, but you can't say it, the empire's army can be invincible on the front line thanks to excellent intelligence sources, and these people who died silently for the empire, how many people know.

After settling the seriously injured Mellon Rowling, the accompanying military doctor reported that the injury on Mellon Rowling's shoulder was not very severe, but the body had been attacked by heavy weapons, and the two ribs on the right side were broken, and one rib almost penetrated the stomach, and I don't know what method Mellon Rowling used to know, and she miraculously persevered until now, according to the military doctor, maybe Mellon Rowling's life should not have been extinguished, and she miraculously survived.

When the fat man quietly walked into the ward, Mellon Rowling was sleeping quietly, and there was no sign of a tragic fight on her calm face, and her body was covered with a pure white thin quilt, but she saw that her face was beautiful, like a finely carved one. There is an indescribable strength in the weakness, the face is like white paper, and the breathing is weak. According to the cautious statements of the military doctor accompanying her, although she was no longer in danger of life, she was seriously injured and would take a considerable amount of time to recover, if nothing else. Half a year of recuperation is the most appropriate.

On the third day, news came from the intelligence source lurking in Gangfei, for some reason, six intelligence officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei were assassinated by a female assassin in their mansion.

On the fifth day, the Duke of Putau, dressed in a neat and clean duke's attire, walked into the command post of the Lisbonto Falcon Army in a rage. Seeing Lidacus standing by the window with a leisurely expression, looking at the sea scenery outside the window, he asked angrily, "General Lidacus, when will your army be willing to get out of Lisbonto, just the people are no longer able to take care of us, it is time for us to regain the principality"

"Lord Duke, although I understand your current thoughts, I can't agree to your request!"

Lidarchus turned from the window, his eyes flickering at the distractions of his men a few days ago. I had to hold a meeting with the Duke of Putao, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the change is really big,

The Duke of Putao, who was originally overwhelmed by the siege. At this time, he was dressed in a new white military uniform, shiny long riding boots, the gold-buttoned cuffs were specially dressed with the leaf coat of arms of the Duke of Putao, and even the original chestnut hair was carefully curled by the servants with saffron flowers.

It seems that the Duke of Putao, who had not shown much in the battle, was immediately filled with the glory of the victor in the short days after the withdrawal of the army. And the core that has been forgotten to support the Lisbonto area is the Falcon army inside the city.

This rapid change made Lidarcus, a former nobleman, secretly surprised in his heart, and slowly said, "I am an imperial governor, and my duty is to hold Lisbonto, and I and my army will not leave the city of Lisbonto until we get a new order from His Majesty the Emperor!"

Duke Putau shook his head in disappointment, and said to himself, "Well, what a pity, I originally thought that His Excellency Lidakus would do his best to help me restore my country!" I will lead my 5,000 troops out of Lisbonto in the afternoon, and those areas where the Gangnon people have evacuated have already sent people to request, and when I see it, the myth of invincibility that the Gangnon army has painstakingly erected for years has been swept away by a storm, and the Duchy will call me again, and I will bravely march with the army, so that all the Putao people can see that their duke is coming back with a victorious face!"

Duke Putaus's confident gaze gave him a complicated look at the silent Lidakus, and his voice stopped

"Please tell His Majesty the Falcon, I will take his help to Putao to heart! We have proved to everyone that as long as you are willing to fight, the Congo Empire is not as terrible as it seems, this is my perfect opportunity to step out of Lisbonto and re-establish the prestige of the Principality! I cannot miss it, please understand!"

Lidakus nodded, his allies who had fought together were a little strange at the moment, "Lord Duke, don't worry, I will tell Your Majesty!" Seeing Duke Putao leave and closing the door of his office, Lidakus took a deep breath and came to his desk,

Lidarchus picked up his pen and began to report the situation to the fat man.

Sure enough, if His Majesty expected, the Duke of Putao began to move, this was expected by His Majesty Falcon, the alliance between the empire and Putao was originally built on the basis of dealing with the pressure of the Gangfei Empire, and now the Gangfei withdrawal of Lisbento, although it was only less than fifty miles back, but for the Duke of Putao, it was still like loosening the noose around his neck, losing the powerful external pressure of the Gangfei Empire, and the alliance between the Putao and the Falcon Empire immediately revealed the fragile nature of the alliance of interests,

The Duke of Putao, who has been oppressed and controlled, has a heart that is eager to restore his authority, and he can't care whether the withdrawal of the army is a trap, just like the dead grass that sees a ray of sunshine, if he can still keep calm, then it makes the fat man feel impressed, in this split similar to betrayal, the fat man's order to Lidarchus is to wait and see,

The Duchy of Putao, the core target of the war between the two great empires, the fat man is accumulating enough strength to finalize the final battle step by step, in Lisbonto, the original 6,000 Falcon Central Army, plus reinforcements of 5,000 Xiting archers, reaching 10,000 troops, in Huacheng Island, there are 30,000 people ready to go, of which there are more than 20,000 cavalry on the Xiting side, a full 40,000 troops, like a fist clenched with five fingers, hard enough to smash the current army of the Gangfei Empire on the Putao side,

The reason why the fat man did not choose to attack was precisely because Duke Putau's army made him feel very unreliable,

Because time is in a hurry. Most of Duke Putao's subordinates are mercenaries, belonging to the kind of goods that sell their lives when they give money, and they are also doing double spy work, which is like the card table of two gamblers, the Gangfei Empire obviously hides unknown hole cards, and the fat man also hides his real strength. With the full control of Huacheng Island, the navy completely cut off the passage to Huacheng Island from the outside world, and the Gangfei army retreated as an advance when the intelligence was cut off and the city of Lisbento was bleeding. The Lisbonto encirclement was released

As a result, the Putao Principality, which was supposed to be a decisive battle, had a strange situation.

The Gangfei army, which was supposed to occupy a strong position, unexpectedly chose a defensive layout, and the Duke of Putao chose to be anxious to seize territory in the place where the Gangfei people retreated, expand their strength, and begin to re-establish their prestige in the name of the principality, in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, an army of about 10,000 people was pulled out, although the equipment was uneven and the personnel were complicated, but the Duke of Putao didn't care about this. This is the Duchy army that he has been asking for in his dreams for years

In order to raise more weapons and funds, the Duke of Putau once again sold several of his titular islands to the fat man, as well as some coastal areas. Of course, nominally it is a leased form, but in time it is three hundred years.

The Falcon Army, which had been given the coastal area, did not land, but was busy repairing the dilapidated Lisbonto, and seemed to have a soft spot for this half-ruined city, and wanted to completely turn this ruined city into a new city.

This qiē couldn't help but make Gangfei, who was waiting for the Falcon Army to raid Kyoto, very depressed

I wanted to lure the Falcon Army, which was in a weak position, out of Lisbonto, and then intercept it on the way to attack Kyoto, and completely eat the Falcon Army that had made my troops suffer a lot in Lisbonto.

But who knows, the Lisbonto Falcon Army was completely unmoved, but with the Duke of Putao taking away all the troops in his own headquarters, Lisbonto has completely become the control area of the Falcon Army.

Gangfei was mixed into the intelligence source of Duke Putao's troops, so it was completely cut off

Gang Fei people can't notice that inside the tall city walls of Lisbento, the forces are secretly being replaced, the original Falcon Central Army is becoming the cavalry of the West Court, the original balance of military strength between the two sides, in the decisive battle venue, has been completely inclined to the Falcon Army, after figuring out the hole cards of Gang Feiren, the Falcon Army finally began to act.

Border of the Principality of Putau, a small fortress of Bilis

White rain slid down from the black sky, dripping on the ancient and vicissitudes of ruined city walls, splashing on the hard platform stones, like large swaths of crystal clear flowers, blooming on the city wall covered with cyan vines, and the cyan suspension bridge was washed in the rain like old watercolor,

A group of black shadows slowly walked towards the moat controlled by the gang non-army in the heavy rain,

"Stop, whoever!"

The shouts of the soldiers who were not guarding the fortress came from the head of the fortress, and the brazier at the gate of the city was lit by a city gate guard with a tired look, and in the firelight, the black shadow in front of him did not seem to stop, until it came to the suspension bridge that had been hoisted before stopping.

"We're a patrol under the command of Lord Remschart! It's raining heavily, and we hope we can take shelter inside."

When a tall black shadow first lifted his hood, revealing a young face, he raised his head and responded in a straight and round accent, at this time, the defenders on the city wall saw clearly that behind him, was a group of cavalry shrouded in waterproof cloaks, tall and unusual horses were draped in light chain mail, under the light of torches, the metal pieces on the cavalry chain mail shone with a blue luster of rigid armor, but unfortunately these knights lowered their heads, the rain flowed down the cloaks on their bodies to the ground, and the sound of ticking gave people a cold feeling, "Lord Remchat's Legion of Conquest?"

The guards on the city wall opened their eyes wide, since the army outside Lisbonto retreated, the Bilisi post near the border has become the front line of the war, but half a month has passed, and there is no movement, "boom" flashed electric light, shining on the faces of the cavalry below, and the only thing that can be seen clearly is only a cold gaze, allowing the pouring rain to hit the armor on the body, splitting and flooding with a white splash, and only hearing the "pop" of rain falling on the ground in the wordless silence sound

"Let them in!" The cold night rain made the guard lose interest in watching, he waved his hand listlessly in the direction of the sentry tower, and ordered the people over there to pull up the drawbridge, "cluck" pulled the iron lock of the drawbridge, and slowly hoisted, making an unpleasant metal friction sound in front of the cavalry, "pop" A few minutes later, the heavy hooves of the cavalry slowly stepped on the drawbridge

The queue walked very slowly, but a dozen cavalrymen walked for seven or eight minutes, and there was a burst of laughter from the city tower, obviously laughing at these patrol cavalry must have frozen even men and horses, "pop" silver lightning flashed through the sky, drawing a curved trace,

There was a faint sound of thunder in the sound of "boom" water droplets, just when the thunder god was rolling overhead, a light cavalry who stayed in front of the hanging, suddenly pulled out his scimitar, raised it high in the lightning and slashed it down, "boom" A crisp sound of metal breaking sounded in the rainy night, and the drawbridge iron was broken from the middle,

"Pop" hung on one end of the suspension bridge, slamming into the bridge deck like a broken tail

"What's going on?" Several of the non-defenders at the outpost were dumbfounded when a dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, followed by a metal crash from the gate below

The guards inadvertently glanced at the city gate, and when they were cold, the hand holding the torch unconsciously let go, and the torch fell from the wall to the ground below.

I saw that under the light of the torches at the door, the cavalrymen in iron armor emerged from the darkness not far away like black ghosts.

The light that flickered in front of his eyes just now was the reflection of the lightning in the sky on the armor of the cavalry

"Shoot!" In the distance, a whole platoon of black cavalry raised their composite strongbows towards the sky

The hoarse shouts of the guards of "enemy attack" also resounded through the city in an instant, but the sound of the powerful bowstring vibrating below made the shouting guards have a very strange feeling, a dense and terrible black cloud covered the raindrops of the sky in an instant, and the metal arrows flashed a chilling light in the air, and then turned into a howling rain of death! (To be continued......
