65 The Battle of the Golden Four Courts II

Bun Zi's heartfelt thanks: Shadow of the Earth voted for 1 monthly ticket, i voted for 1 monthly ticket, and polar bear B voted for 1 evaluation;

In the early morning, the sun has not yet come out, the earth is filled with white mist, under the blowing of the mountain wind, like a flowing white belt around this narrow highland, a black goshawk flies from the blue sky, under the wings is the twilight vast mountains, the cold wind blows through the hills in front, a faint rumbling sound comes from the other end of the hills, the heavy hooves of the war horses hit the hard snow-capped mountain tundra, and a black line appears on the edge of the top of the white hills,

Towering snow-capped mountains on both sides cut off the course of the northern plains of Ruierdian, and this deep and solemn color contrasts sharply with the cyan coniferous forests of the city, forming a wonderful picture.

The biting wind blew through the spreading mountains, rolling up a cold and cruel breath, "popping" the heavy horses' hooves raised the dirt on the ground, and a group of heavily armored Vekian cavalry climbed over the mountaintop, the cold swords in their hands flashed with snowflakes.

The fat man stood on the top of the hill, looking at the vast land under his feet with complicated eyes, and the cold mountains and cold land spreading for hundreds of miles under his feet were like a giant dragon winding and coiling.

At the center of the dragon's entrenchment is a mesmerizing emerald basin with snow covering both sides of the basin, as the people of Ryerdian call this beautiful basin "Amira"

In the Rui Erdian language, it means a beautiful girl, which shows Rui Erdian's love for this land, which is the only alpine mountain in the north of Rui Erdian, and is the barrier of Rui Erdian's face in Kyoto Palasi.

"Stomping" Hukochili with a whistling mountain wind, galloped from the side of the marching queue in front, and two guards cavalry followed closely behind, the hooves of the horses raised the dirt on the ground, like an arrow over the mountain

"Your Majesty ......" Hu Keqili stopped the horse in front of the fat man, the beautiful one turned over and got off the horse, took out a piece of information from his arms, knelt down on one knee high, and said with a respectful expression

"This is the latest battle report from Rui Erdian, the 100,000 forwards of the East Court have broken through the Raki Fortress with 15,000 defenders, and are rushing towards the gateway of Paravon, Yerui Pavilion.

The people of Rui Erdian asked His Majesty to rush to Amira to the west of Ye Rui Pavilion to establish a defensive line, at most three days, the forward of the Eastern Court will approach Ye Rui Pavilion, if Ye Rui Ge of the East Court cannot attack, it is likely to turn around and enter the Parabun Plain from Amira "

"Oh, the 15,000 defenders of the Laki Fortress advanced so quickly by the Dongting people only held out for 3 days" The fat man took the information, his eyes swept over, and his face changed.

I didn't think it before, I thought that the 300,000 Ruierdian army was actually fighting with the 60,000 Dongting cavalry, and finally had to adopt the strategy of step-by-step to gain some advantages, and I felt that it might be because there were too many temporarily recruited soldiers in the army, and the combat effectiveness of the guide zhì was low, but now, this concept of underestimating the enemy has long been thrown out of the clouds by the fat man

"The elite steppe cavalry is indeed the top combat power in this continent"

In Ruibogen, the fat man thoroughly understood the combat power of the Dongting cavalry, the sneak attack of the two armies against the counter-sneak attack, although the Falcon Dynasty has the advantage of troops and the bonus of surprise attack, the tragedy and chaos of the Ruibogen battle is still far beyond the fat man's expectations,

4,000 excellent falcon cavalry stayed in the land of Rebogen forever, more than 5,000 falcon cavalry had to temporarily stay in Rebogen to rest because of various injuries, Vasilion's 12,000 falcon cavalry suffered three-fifths of the battle damage, although they kept part of the seeds and won the final victory, but they could basically be declared disabled, and they did not participate in this battle in the East Court in a short time

9,000 for 14,000, this is still in the case of the temporary withdrawal of the most elite black-armored archers in the Eastern Court, although the brilliant record of killing the Eastern Court general Bogol Zamu has made the entire continent a sensation again.

The interior of the Falcon Dynasty was not happy about this, and it was not a very pleasant thing to be taken advantage of, and they had to show an excited smile.

In the battle of Borigan, although the main force of the Eastern Court cavalry chose to give up, it actually left unscathed, and there was almost no loss in combat power, and it seemed that the Falcon Dynasty had won.

In fact, both sides know very well that this is just a warm-up game before the big war, as long as there is no loss of 12,000 black-armored archers, the victory or defeat of this battle is irrelevant to the main force of Dongting, as for the death of Bogol Zamu, there are too many reasons in it, as long as you are not blind, you can see a little strange,,

"Hehe, these Ruierdian people are about to be beaten home, and they still have to play this kind of cleverness"

The fat man handed over the information to the adjutant next to him, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "They think I don't, they have concentrated 200,000 troops in Yerig, but they only tell us that we have 100,000 troops, obviously they are hiding their strength and waiting to pick up the bargain."

"What does it mean?" Hu Keqili was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "The Amira area is a mountainous area, surrounded by towering mountains, if the people of Dongting let Ye Ruige in the plain area not attack, and run to attack the mountains that are not conducive to cavalry, it is really a bit no."

"Mountainous area, that depends on the people of the East Garden" The fat man smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, although Ye Ruige is flat land, but after many reinforcements and repairs by the Rui Erdian people, in addition to the original strong main fort, a series of large and small defensive sub-forts have been built on the two wings of the main fort, even if the cavalry of the East Court is excellent, it is impossible to use cavalry to hit the strong city wall"

The fat man's voice paused, raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed to the undulating mountains in the distance and said, "The people of Dongting are not blind, do they choose the 200,000 Ruierdian troops behind the strong walls or only 60,000 troops, all the way to the light army, and we have no support."

"But our mountain area should be enough for the East Court cavalry to have a headache," Hu Keqili said with some unwilling wings, "What's more, although these broken mountain top long walls are old, as long as they are reinforced and repaired, they can play a good role, and when the time comes, even if the East Court cavalry is powerful, I am afraid that they can only look at the wall and sigh."

"Really, you think the same way."

The fat man's face was slightly cold, and his sharp gaze was like two sharp blades, which made Hu Keqili feel a little worried, and Hu Keqili, who had followed the fat man for a long time, turned slightly pale, which was a sign of anger in His Majesty's heart

"Your Majesty, my subordinate lost his words just now...... Hu Keqili hurriedly knelt down, he must have neglected the most important thing, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head,

"Can you tell me how long these ruined mountain top walls are? a hundred miles, two hundred miles, and it won't last forever," the fat man was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked Hu Keqili, who was scared enough

"The subordinate sent scouts to check it, and apart from some unimportant places, this ruined hilltop wall is about 170 miles long," Hukochi replied with a strong wing

"170 miles" the fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "If I give you all 60,000 troops, can you sue me for such a long mountain area you defend?"

Hu Keqi rolled down in a cold sweat, his head was lowered, and his face was full of shame, yes, he couldn't defend it, he didn't think it was right just now, it was wrong to think about it, 170 miles of mountainous land, it is impossible to concentrate on it, if the troops are divided to defend, once the Dongting cavalry concentrates their forces to attack a little, even if they receive a signal for help, it will not be long after, and the deployment of defensive forces in such a mountainous area that is hundreds of miles long is simply full of loopholes"

"The outcome of the war is determined by the preparation of both sides before the war, and any negligence in the face of war will cause a fatal defeat."

The fat man walked with a solemn expression, patted the shoulder of the general, and said, "This vast hill seems to be the best line of defense, but in fact, it is also our most fatal weakness, this is a trap for the people of Ruierdian, they only have 60,000 people, and they can't completely block all the mountain roads,

Although this seems to be a highland to rely on, in fact, as long as the Eastern Court cavalry crosses the long wall on the top of the mountain, they can take advantage of the situation to sweep the whole of Amira, and then we will be trapped and killed with one stone, which is really quite a bad deal."

"Is it that the subordinates are too negligent or are your majesty's eyes bright" Hearing the fat man's analysis, Hu Keqili took a deep breath with an ugly face, this plan of the Rui Erdian people is really too insidious, if the Dongting cavalry really changes the direction of attack, the Falcon King who is temporarily facing is likely to be the end of the entire army,

"Give this back to the Ryordians"

The fat man found a pen from the civilian adjutant next to him, and hurriedly wrote a reply letter to Hu Keqili, "Tell the Sù Ruierdian people, our army has entered the Amira area, and now I am afraid that the people of Dongting will not come, and our Falcon Dynasty is responsible, even if we fight to the death of a soldier, we will not retreat, but it is Ye Ruige who will be lost, in order not to shake the entire defense line, we can only let them ask for more blessings."

His Majesty took the letter with a surprised face, since this is a conspiracy, in order to drill into the pocket of the Rui Erdian people, this is not like His Majesty's resolute style of not suffering,

"Hehe, just do it, just like those Ryordian people who think they have succeeded in their plot and laugh for a while, when the time comes, we will take it all at once" The fat man waved his hand at him,

"It's Your Majesty" Hu Keqili put his right hand respectfully on his chest, and after making a salute, he turned over and rode away

"Order the whole army to speed up, and the whole army must cross the Amira Mountains within today," the fat man turned to the herald behind him and shouted, next to the fat horse, the Vekia phalanx infantry in black armor stretched into the distance like a giant dragon,

The thin sunlight of the sky, shining on the huge corps body that stretched for more than ten miles, the thick infantry armor and shields were bright and dark in the sunlight, like layers of constantly turning fish scales, slowly accelerating the black long line, with an indomitable momentum, over the top of the stretching Amira Mountains and the white rolling hills,

At the foot of the hill is the green earth, and the dense green pine forest permeates the basin, and the large expanse of green color is like a huge flower garden, and when the trees and thorns in the rest of the kingdom wither in the autumn wind, the lush green needle forest in this area is in full swing to show its vitality,

The brilliant wildflowers and red grass are like pieces of burning flames, dyeing the whole basin red,

Through the end of the mountain forest in the distance, you can see a row of ancient tall walls erected between the rolling hills, full of vicissitudes of ancient castles and ruined towns, and at the same time imprinted in the red glow of the sky and earth like a dreamless dream

Parabun, Prais House

Prais sat alone in the inner hall of the mansion with a gloomy face.

Since he was sensible, he rarely felt lonely, but at this moment he did feel extremely lonely, the elite leader of the three sets of carriages in the dark aristocracy, who was now an old man in his last years,

He was even more devastated by recent events, as his former sideburns and gray hair had crawled all over his forehead, and his energetic gaze looked dull at the moment, as if he had aged ten years all at once

The battle was unfavorable, the First Knights were wiped out, such a record was definitely the failure of Prais's life, but it was not enough to hit the nerves of Prais, who was as tough as a tightrope, and he wrote a letter to the fat man asking for refuge, in fact, he wanted to test the attitude of Vecchia, if this restless neighbor took a kick at this time, the hard-hit Rui Erdian would fall into a place of no return

The reply from the Falcon Dynasty completely cut off the hope that Prais would continue to preside over military affairs, and such a reply was completely unexpected by Prais.

He didn't expect the Vikia Falcon to see through the mind so easily, and to show extraordinary, unusual thinking and incomparably fierce counterattacks

Prais, who received the news of the Falcon Dynasty's proposal, was stupid on the spot, "This trick is too poisonous...... At this moment, is there a more soft knife to kill people without bloodshed?

Prais burst into tears, he, in this life, has completely lost his life to military affairs, whether the royal family of Raldian thinks that Prais is wronged, or this is simply a conspiracy of the Wikibians,

It is impossible for him to have a chance to come out again, the Ruierdian royal family is not a fool, and there is absolutely no courage to bet, otherwise with his prestige and influence in the military world, secretly colluding with the Falcon Dynasty to overthrow the Ruierdian royal family is as simple as reaching out and turning over the palm.

Losing the trust of the royal family, it was embarrassing for Prais, who had always been a maverick, but he was the person who proposed the reform, and although it was finally vetoed in the court, it was enough to make him an enemy in the eyes of most of the Palauven nobles.

The idea of a commoner replacing a knight as commander of an army and acquiring rights that only a nobleman could have was a great rebellion, and if it weren't for the support and trust of His Majesty King Praisshen, the former chief of the nobility would have been spurned by the Palaus.

Now Prais is completely like a miserable abandoned woman abandoned by the royal family, and some bad remarks have also appeared

"Prais is a sinner of Ryrdian"

Words such as "Prais should apologize for the defeat at the Battle of Ribogen" appeared in the streets of Parabun under the instigation and back-to-back impetus of many nobles, the eyes of the people have always been blind, public opinion is always in the hands of the most powerful people, and the Parabunians, who had previously praised the former Minister of War, soon changed their attitudes.

"Prais is the greatest scourge of the kingdom, and even the southward movement of the people of the Eastern Court is caused by Prais's resistance" Most people began to agree with this statement,

At the royal meeting of the kingdom, some radical-minded young young talents even suggested that the former military minister was overconfident and self-serving, which led the knights of the heroic and fearless First Knights to fight to the last man in a bloody battle with the evil devil of the Eastern Court in an isolated situation.

The heavy rain that poured down in the previous section was that the sky was crying for these excellent young knights, and a nobleman with an excited expression said this, and handed a handbook of ten thousand people with ten thousand blood handprints in front of all the courtiers,

"The kingdom should severely punish those ministers who are not good at fighting, otherwise the soldiers fighting on the front line will also be unstable" The young nobleman with an overly sad and angry expression, although in the end this mention was vetoed by His Majesty the King,

"The blood of the knights cannot be shed in vain, Your Majesty" The voice with the sound of weeping echoed in the hall of the court, and the two young nobles who refused to give up knelt on the hard ground of the court for ten hours to advocate the views, which gave way to the center of the whirlpool of the court's case, and the resolute Prais also felt extremely depressed and resentful

"The people and the soldiers will support me"

With such a belief, Prais, who would never admit defeat, sat in the carriage back to the mansion in a daze, and there were many people on the street, and when they saw the carriage of the Prais family, many Paravenians turned their heads in disdain.

The heroes of the past were now completely turned into street rats that everyone shouted at, and Prais was silent, and he could feel a surging undercurrent drawing closer and closer

Despite the heightened vigilance, unfortunate things still happened, and today's court meeting was discussing the issue of Ye Rui Pavilion's defense, and the new Minister of Military Affairs proudly propagated Ye Rui Ge as an absolutely impregnable fortress, the grave of the cavalry in the Eastern Court, only Prais did not think so

"The left flank of Yeruige is a low-lying land, even if there is an arrow tower, it is difficult to defend it" As soon as Prais's words came out, the new Minister of War, who had been transferred from the Minister of Internal Affairs, said with some displeasure, "This is the affairs of the Ministry of War, and some unfortunate idlers should not come out to be conspicuous, otherwise people will still think that the Minister of War is still like Your Excellency."

Lais almost fainted at this idle man, and left the court in shame, and King Haraus did not say a word of salvation from beginning to end.

"What a sad season" Plais put down the window curtain of the carriage with some feelings, and in front of him was his mansion, the simple door was engraved with the dim badge of the Prais family, and Prais, who had been the Minister of War for half a year, and who had handled tens of millions of resources, could not even take out the 1,000 gold coins to repair the mansion

The noise outside the "people" was like a disrupted saucer, and at the moment when his carriage was about to enter the gate of the mansion, a wounded soldier of Rui Erdian, wrapped in gauze and staggering past the gate of the mansion, suddenly rushed forward, raised his head, slammed into the carriage of Prais, and spat with great contempt,

"Sinner, Prais" The voice of the wounded soldier resounded throughout the streets, and although the daring soldier was soon taken away by the guards, the spit had already penetrated into Prais's heart

"For this ......" Prais sat in silence on the pew, the dark hall was not lit, and he did not eat his supper because he had no appetite. All he wanted was to drink, and it would be better to have the spirits that the Kugit drank, but he was restrained in his heart, knowing that he should never get drunk.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you," the old butler's voice sounded outside the door
