In the spring of the third year of the empire's landing on the continent of Obarro, the battle of Vickya, which was likened to the "most incredible battle" by later military scientists, was fought on the battlefield of Putao, and the Vekia Falcon, which had always frightened the enemy with its fire and prairie warfare, made everyone stunned this time, and in the face of Gangfei Kyoto, who seemed to be able to hold it with his hand when he opened the road, the full force of the Vekia Falcon's blow was in a direction that no one could imagine, and it fell directly in the north of the Putao Principality

The war horses were like thunder, and 20,000 Xiting cavalry troops captured the fortress of Bilis, which was the only way to the north of Putao, and this move directly knocked out Gangfeiren!

On the same day, Rubin Sark, the veteran commander of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who had just received the report, stared at the report sent in an urgent manner for five minutes! As if he couldn't believe it, he stood up and quickly found the landmark of the Libis Fortress that had been attacked on the map.

It's a small fortress in the middle of nowhere!

Duke Rubin Sark picked up the cup of hot water on the table, took a deep breath of cold air, and his face was heavy as if it was about to drip water

The mark of the fortress of Biliss on the map is so small, a small fortress with a garrison of only 300 people, in this war with the fortunes of the two empires, is really insignificant, if it were not for this sudden attack, it would not be qualified to enter his sight at all,

This is also what makes Rubin Sark feel incomprehensible, the Falcon Army should not have attacked this small fortress that has been deviated from the main battlefield and has no strategic value at all!

Rubin Sark's anxious eyes stared at the map on the wall behind him, it seemed that he could burn two holes in it, and the 334 defenders of the fortress were all killed in one night, which is enough to show how fierce the Falcon Army's attack on this small fortress was, and according to the new news, this time the Falcon Army dispatched a full 20,000 assault archers cavalry, it is conceivable that this small fortress is only more than 100 meters long and wide. I'm afraid that every brick is stuck with the Falcon Army's arrows!

What exactly is the other party trying to do?

Duke Rubinsark lowered his head and gently took a sip of the hot water in the cup, thinking about whether he should increase his troops to the north of Putao, and at the same time considering the intention of the other party's move

Two thick eyebrows condensed into a Sichuan character in the center of his eyebrows, judging from the map, this fortress of Bilisi is located on the boundary between the central and northern parts of the Principality of Putao, for the small principality of the Principality of Putao, which has an entire area of less than 500 square miles, even if it starts from Lisbonto in the center, it will only take one day to reach this small fortress on the northern border, and the only benefit that the Falcon Army can get by dispatching such troops to occupy this passage to the north. It opened the door to the northern part of Putao, "With 20,000 elite assault archers that are enough to turn the tide of the battle, march into the northern part of Putao without strategic significance, the other commander is not a fool, he must be a reckless man without strategic vision" Robin Sack stared at the map, said in confusion in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his scrutinizing gaze continued to move on the map. The blue arrows representing your own army, the Raiding Legion of Remchat, the Eighth Legion of Recchard, and the Ninth Legion hidden deep outside Kyoto. A huge encirclement with a total strength of more than 110,000 men has been formed, and as soon as the Falcon Army crosses the border line, the Crusade Legion and the Eighth Army will quickly cut off each other's rear routes and cooperate with the Ninth Army to form a strangulation.

In order to attract the Falcon Army to attack in the direction of Kyoto. He had ordered the tens of thousands of main forces of the Congo and Africa in Putao to withdraw from the Lisbonto encirclement and empty the entire central part of Putao, in order to create the illusion that the Congo-Africa army was exhausted. Only a small part of the army still guards several urban areas such as Andell and Ninestar in the north of Putao, mainly because, strategically speaking, the strategic role of northern Putao in this war is almost negligible

Rubin Sack didn't think that the Falcon Army would focus its operations on the northern part of Putao! But the breach of the fortress of Bilisi proved that the main direction of attack of the Falcon Army was probably the northern part of Putao, which he had neglected.

Regardless of the strategic intentions of the Falcon Army, this punch always gave him a feeling of imminent crisis.

Duke Rubinsark could feel that his opponent was very "ignorant", like an unreasonable roadside hooligan, the kind of despicable guy who even wanted to take the money of the beggars on the roadside, otherwise, would the other side need to make a small fortress with only a few hundred troops as the key target of the group army? "Forget it, if the other party is a strategic idiot, will he also follow the idiot's train of thought? What a ridiculous idea!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Rubinsark's mouth, and he gave up looking further, at least for now, the other party occupied only a small fortress, and it was too careless to judge the enemy's intentions by this

Bump"

There was a knock at the door, "Come in!" Rubin Sark did not look back, rubbed his swollen temples with his hands, and the morning passed like this, the bright sunlight outside the window shone in through the glass, and Remchat, dressed in a blue gold-rimmed general's uniform, walked into the door,

He stopped behind Rubinsark, straightened up and gave a military salute, and said with a stern expression, "Your Excellency, the Legion of the Conquest Remschart has come to report!" Because he was appointed commander of the Conquest Corps, his position as the senior officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs was accordingly abolished, and naturally his previous privileges were accordingly abolished.

"Long time no see, Remchat"

Rubin Sark turned around and nodded, "I urgently recalled you from the front line this time because I wanted to hear the opinion of you, the front-line combat general, after all, you are the only one among the imperial generals who has fought against the Falcon Army in Lisbonto!"

"The Falcon Army of Lisbonto?" Remchatt's grim face looked a little gloomy, "My lord, I don't understand what you mean?" He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that he had lost tens of thousands of troops in Lisbonto, but he hadn't even touched the walls of Lisbonto! Fortunately, Robinsark didn't embarrass him, picked up the report on the table and handed it to him, "Look at this battle report, I just received it!" "The Falcon Army raided the fortress of Bilis!" Remshat glanced at the report, frowned slightly, and said to himself in surprise, "Why? Strategically speaking, what is the strategic significance of occupying northern Putao?" "Do you think so too?" Rubin Sack looked at him, "Yes, as the person in charge of the Putao battlefield, I have never thought that northern Putao has strategic value!" Remshart nodded and said affirmatively, "And I also think that stubbornly stick to northern Putao." The gains outweigh the losses!" Why do you think that?" Rubin Sark stretched out his hand in a flat tone and made a gesture to him to sit down, Remsit could see this, which was enough to prove that it was beyond the ordinary level of commanders, in terms of strategic ability, Rubinshack thought that Remsit was a very good one, and the failure of the assimilation plan of the Principality of Putau was caused by too many unpredictable factors" The subordinates believed that the northern part of Putaut was composed of several meaningless small towns" Remschatt hesitated for a moment and said. As long as it is a discerning person, it will be seen. Under the present circumstances, the occupation of the northern part of Putao has almost no other effect except adding about 200 li of defensive line for itself, adding more than 100,000 mouths for consuming grain, and dispersing the main forces used for attacking, and the direct result of occupying the northern part of Putao is tantamount to carrying a big burden before the war has begun, and the typical gains outweigh the losses. It is precisely because of this that the total number of troops I have deployed in the northern part of Putao is only 5,000 men, and they are all local troops with no combat power, so I cannot understand it. What is the point of the Falcon Army's sudden interest in the northern part of the Putao!" "Unless......" Remchatt's eloquent voice suddenly stopped, and he glanced at the map on the wall, "Unless what?" Rubin Sack raised his head and asked with a solemn expression, "The subordinates just think that if they use the northern part of Putao as a base." It stretches in two directions at the same time, one is Imperial Kyoto, and the other is ...... Lipu Plateau!" Remstat gritted his teeth. I also thought this idea was ridiculous, but I still had the courage to say, "But this is just a hypothesis, after all, from the north of Putao to the Lipu Plateau, where the main force of the empire is located, there is a gap of 500 miles and more than ten cities, even if the other party really has such a plan, the troops that need to be invested are not enough of 20,000 people! But if it is just to disrupt it, it is more than enough!" "Disrupt the Lipu Plateau!" Rubin Sark heard a stirring, and his gaze stopped at the end of the Gangdinus Mountains in the northernmost part of the Putau Principality, which crosses the Putau Principality, like a small gap, and this gap is facing the back of the Emperor's army that is facing the main force of the Falcon Empire in the north, although there is still a distance of about 500 miles, but if the other party is a cavalry force, it can completely achieve the effect of cutting off and disrupting,

"20,000 assault cavalry may not be able to hit the Lipu Plateau, but it is enough to disrupt the area behind the Lipu Plateau, and the other party's plan should be this!" A hint of realization flashed in Rubinsark's heart, and it is not difficult to understand that the Falcon Army was indifferent to the key points of Kyoto at their fingertips, but it was like a blind dragon slaughtering the northern part of Putao, which had no strategic value at all! Compared with directly entering Gangfei Kyoto, completely defeating the main force of the empire in the north was obviously more strategic.

"Remchat, or maybe your guess is correct!"

Rubin Sark withdrew his gaze from the map and turned around, "I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor in the Lipu Plateau, and let His Majesty strengthen the surveillance in the rear, on the other hand, please rush back immediately, and be sure to watch this Falcon Army that has broken through to the north of Putao! I know that it will be very difficult to contain the cavalry cluster with infantry, I will let Good's Eighth Legion assist you, if you still can't hold the Falcon Army hostage, the Ninth Legion will also be put into the battlefield." Yes, rest assured, even if Remsit sheds his last drop of blood, he will never let the Falcon Army's strategic plan succeed!"

Remchatt got up from the sofa, gave a military salute respectfully, and rushed back from the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei, Remchatt personally went to the base camp of the Eighth Army Corps, and personally handed over the warrant from the Minister of Military Affairs Rubinsack to Goode of the Eighth Legion, "Lord Remchat, we are an infantry group, and the enemy is cavalry! Such an order is really impossible to execute" Gude, the commander of the Eighth Army of Gangfei, read the warrant with a displeased expression, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of resentment in his tone, " This operation is at stake for the safety of the main forces of the Empire, and Minister Rubin Sack has already reported to His Majesty the Emperor, and I believe that if the Emperor is outstanding, His Majesty's special attention is not at all inferior to those of those regiments at the front!"

Remchat's face said calmly, he knew that this Emperor Xià of the commander of the Gude Legion was deeply trusted, and had participated in many imperial battles, but he was also a very arrogant person, and the Falcon Cavalry's way of fighting and advancing required a regular army with a tenacious style to resist, and his own crusade legion. Most of them are second-line soldiers with average combat strength, and this Good's Eighth Legion is indeed a real Imperial orthodox infantry on foot and armor, equipped with a squadron of heavy long-handled axes to block the onslaught of enemy cavalry, and no matter what, the Eighth Legion of the Empire must be pulled up. "Okay, I'll do my best!"

Goode's eyes lit up when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor might have paid attention to this battle,

He was originally the emperor's favorite general, and this time he was transferred from the main force in the north to join the Putao battlefield. I thought I could show my strength, but I also thought that the elite heavy infantry under his command had not launched an attack on Lisbento once, and was ordered by the Ministry of War to remove the siege of Lisbento. Brave and ruthless, if the emperor did not listen to the advice of this Count of Remchat, but directly adopted a tough conquest policy against Putao, where would there be such trouble now!

Organized troops in the Congolese people. While trying their best to block the Falcon Army's northward advance into the northern part of Putao, the Falcon Cavalry, who had occupied the passage, launched a full-scale attack on the northern part of Putao after resting for three days

In the Toronto River, which crosses the Ninestar region of the north, in the white morning mist. Crowded, a group of cavalrymen in black armor emerged from the mist of the river beach opposite. Like a flash of black lines, the soldiers on the other side of the river felt numb, the rumbling hooves and footsteps resounded across the embankment on the opposite bank, the war horse set off a yellow dust mist array, and the flying flags loomed in the dust and fog in the sky, like a black cloud pressing towards the river beach.

"Fight, everybody up!"

On the other side of the riverbank, a non-official on horseback galloped swiftly by the river, shouting loudly that the horse's hooves raised the water vapor on the river.

The heavy infantry sitting on the bank of the river began to stand up, as if a forest had suddenly been erected, and rows of rigid and non-heavy pikemen discharged a compact whole column, forming a series of main stalls on the other side of the river, the sharp tips of the guns were like forests, shining with a cold luster in the morning light, shining in the bright mist of water,

This is the defense line of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Eighth Army Corps of Gangfei, the 5,800 hoplites in the forefront have just arrived here a day ago, and they happened to meet the Falcon army advancing north, the military horn made a rapid circling sound in the air, and you can constantly see that there are new troops joining the Gangfei side, and soon the strength will break through 10,000, and the number is still increasing.

The fat man stopped his horse on a slope with a stern expression, and his eyes were coldly cast on the Gangfei hoplites on the other side of the river.

The golden falcon banner flew in the air, and a hundred black-armored guards cavalry stood around with swords in hand, forming a fan-shaped division, sworn to protect the safety of the commander.

In addition to the 20,000 Xiting cavalry dispatched this time, there were also 5,000 Imperial Central Army, and the soldiers pointed directly at the northern part of Putao, which was unthinkable to be killed by Gangfei, and sure enough, Gangfei was in chaos, and he really thought that he would send cavalry to disrupt the strategy of the battlefield on the Lipu Plateau, and immediately threw the two legions that were originally ambushed in the direction of Gangfei Kyoto to the north of Putao. "This should be the intelligence of the Eighth Legion!"

Standing on a high place, the fat man had a clear view of the situation with the river beach below. The number of Gangfei troops is not large, but all of them are well-armed hoplites, wearing helmets with white tassels, and their whole bodies are covered with thick blue heavy armor, and there is a feeling of a raging tide on the river beach, the first row is the traditional heavy shield spear, and the second row is the heavy axemen with both hands chopping axes, staring at the other side of the river with murderous eyes, these heavy axemen are all very strong, wearing heavy armor like a thick wall of steel covering the opposite riverbank, metal armor and spears flashing in the mist

"Shoot!"

In order to improve the accuracy of the salvo, in the case of not charging, the Xiting shooters all dismounted and shot, directly across the river surface of 50 meters to the opposite side, on the other side of the river, the archer of the Eighth Army neatly raised the curved wheel bow in his hand and released the bowstring towards the opposite side, "Collapse! Collapse!"

Dense clusters of arrows staggered and fiercely shot at the river, and the arrows blocked the sky like locusts, like countless points of light that suddenly burst out, and the powerful firing line formed a line of death on the two river banks, ah" You can constantly see the terrifying bright red splashed by the soldiers who were shot in the body, "The Falcon Army is nothing more than that!" Gude, the commander of the Eighth Army, looked at the Falcon Army that was blocked by him on the other side of the river, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, if the Falcon Army attacked sharply at the beginning, or his infantry cluster could only eat ashes in the back, but now, he has the danger of the river, and it will not be so easy for the Falcon Army to defeat itself with the advantage of cavalry! (To be continued......)
