1651 Horizon VI
The brightly lit hall of the southwestern capital,
Stanley Spencer, who was trapped in the capital of the southwest, was discussing the battle plan with several of his generals, this time the northwest army raised the battle flag of the Falcon Empire, and the 200,000 army waved south, like a large-scale invasion, and the nature of the war quickly rose from a regional rebellion to a war between the two empires.
For the Falcon Empire suddenly fought in the northwest, Stanley Spencer didn't know much, 180,000 Gallic troops crusaded against the northwest, on the banks of the Sona River, he didn't even know the details of the enemy, he was beaten half to death by a fat beating, it was still evenly matched at the beginning, this time it was completely disadvantaged, not to mention that Stanley Spencer didn't have any hope for sticking to the southwest capital, that is, the generals below, one by one, were also depressed, and studied in the hall all night, everyone's pale faces were full of helplessness, 200,000 troops! , the disparity in strength is too great,
"Miss Julia," Stanley Spencer said anxiously, looking up at Algernon Giulia as he saw a savior, "How's it going, Lord Stanley?" "It's getting worse!" said Stanley Spencer, looking up from the map on the table, anxiously
"I just received the news that the traitor Murphy Oone has been attached to the Vekia Falcon, and now the Vekia Falcon has no worries, and has been divided into two ways, all the way 100,000 troops are attacking from the side of the southwest capital under the leadership of the famous general Duoxuan, and in front of us is the 110,000 army led by the Vekia Falcon, the Vekia Falcon is known as the name of the god of war, and the troops under his command are all elite who have been in battle for a long time, although I don't know what reason we put on a posture of encirclement, but they have not closed the encirclement for a long time, but no one dares to say in this situation, if there are no measures in Kyoto, I can only think that the emperor has given up the southwest, taking advantage of the fact that the army of the Vekia Falcon has not yet completed the siege. We seized the opportunity of the other party's hesitation to open a bloody path in the direction of the hinterland of the empire, after all, we also have tens of thousands of people, and we have no chance to fight with all our might!" "Kill back to the hinterland of the empire?" Algernon Julia looked at the map on the table with a frown slightly, "Isn't Master Stanley confused? As a rule, they should be waiting for our reinforcements, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Stanley Spencer hesitated. In a cold tone, he said, "If Duke Locke has any high opinions, you can also say it for everyone to hear!"
"The dog who lost his family dares to talk about high opinions!" A general next to him whispered with disdain on his face, Locke's face suddenly became ugly, just from the loss of Sonde, his status in the eyes of the people of Kyoto is much worse than before, if it weren't for Algernon Julia still thinking about bringing him back to create public opinion, he might have long been left alone whether he lived or died, because of this. He tried his best to show his ability, hoping to attract the attention of the Kyoto side, "In front of Lord Stanley, the little one didn't dare to say much, but he just felt strange! But he has been stagnant" "It turns out that Your Excellency is just relying on speculation, full of nonsense!" Stanley Spencer's face was gloomy, as a general of the army, it was okay to be respectful to Algernon Julia. For Duke Locke, the landless duke, there is really no need to be polite, "Before getting a precise analysis, Lord Stanley said this is a bit too much!" It was Algernon Julia who spoke.
She came to the table, looked down at the map, short hair with ears, a side-catching ability in her face, wearing a black female knight's armor, although she was a woman, she was more calm than most men, she couldn't see the oppression caused by the siege of the army on her face, and there was even a passion on her face that was eager to try, I saw her slowly stretch out her fingers, point to the map and say, "The northwest army is encircled, and the passage to the imperial side that needs to be blocked is released alone, it is impossible to say that there is no plan"
"What can you do? It's nothing more than a bloody battle! As a soldier, it's better to die on the battlefield than to be trapped in the city," the generals looked a little disdainful.
"Don't forget, my lord, that the northwest has a large number of cavalry clusters!" said Algernon Julia, who had not heard anything, and with her white fingers emphasizing the location of the capital on the map, said in a crisp tone, "and our defense is not so unbearable,
"It is said that in order to strengthen the wall of the southwest capital, to build a copper wall of defense for himself, Murphy Oone ordered to use a special kind of soil mixed with the blood of cattle and sheep, and after each completed section, he ordered the soldiers to hold spears and pierce the wall, if the spear pierced an inch, the builder of the construction should be whipped thirty times, stripped and recast, if the spear could not pierce the wall, the soldiers were also subjected to twenty lashes, that day Murphy Oone stormed the west wall, fierce fighting for half a day, the corner of the wall can be seen to have any damage, it can be seen that the strength of the wall of the southwest capital is not ordinary, this should be one of the reasons why the other side postponed the attack, the other party believes that the southwest has been decided, there is really no need to fill tens of thousands of people under the city of the southwestern capital
The second point, you have not found that the periphery of the southwest capital is a flat river, as soon as our army really leaves the city wall that can resist the cavalry, the ferocity of the northwest cavalry, compared to the adults, it is still fresh in the memory!, the other party's 200,000 army, only one is missing, waiting for us to leave the city in a hurry, and then the army follows, with light cavalry pursuit, I am afraid that we have not had a chance to run out of the southwest, and we have been killed by the other party one by one! This ......" Stanley Spencer gasped and turned pale
Listening to Algernon Julia's explanation, Stanley Spencer felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell, so dangerous, almost stepped into the abyss of no return, Vekia Falcon really deserves to be a good at the layout of the military god, hundreds of thousands of troops besiege but not attack, as if to treat the trapped beast like an arrangement, as long as you wait for yourself to throw yourself into the net, thinking that after the bloody battle to find a way out, tens of thousands of fierce Northwest cavalry suddenly rushed out from the middle of the road to intercept and kill, Stanley Spencer felt a chill on his back! The woman who was able to defeat Murphyo Boone was really extraordinary!" Hearing Algernon Julia's words, the faces of the other generals were also slightly pale, they had encountered the Northwest Cavalry, thinking that on the banks of the Sona River, the Northwest Cavalry was like a wind sweeping away the dry grass, and the fierce attack on the ranks of their own soldiers,
The generals all glanced at each other secretly. This woman is really a genius, not only is she very proficient in strategy and tactics, but also implements chilling viciousness from beginning to end, fails to achieve strategic goals, unscrupulous means, slaughters thousands of disobedient Rusende nobles in the southwestern capital, and kills and wounds hundreds of thousands of civilians in one day, which has a great relationship with this woman. If it weren't for this woman, or if she couldn't hold on to the current Cheng dù, although the Praetorian Guard failed to attack the northwest this time, it took the southwest with ease, no matter how you look at it, it would be meritorious, "Do you just wait?" Stanley Spencer touched his chin with his hand, and said with a difficult and uncertain face, "I'm afraid that after a long time, the Vekia Falcon will eventually lose patience, and when the time comes, a large army will be launched, and our army will be trapped for a long time." Morale is low, and there will be no room for even the last resistance!" "Don't worry, how can His Majesty the Emperor let this happen!" Algernon Julia smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth and raised a hand. Five fingers spread out, "Soria, bring the thing!"
Behind her were two people, one was Duke Locke, who had just interjected. The other was Soria, the captain of the female guard of Algernon Julia, twenty-three years old and handsome. Tall, a fiery red close-fitting armor, a pair of long legs that occupy three-fifths of the length of the body, wrapped in red embroidered armor, make everyone think about it when they see it, but on its fair right face there is a frightening frowning cross scar, and on the shoulder armor on the right side, is the awe-inspiring glow coat of arms of the Gallic court, indicating that this woman is a court knight,
Hearing the order of Algernon Julia, the Sophia female knight looked respectful, and under the eyes of everyone, she took out a letter from the inner pocket of her armor and handed it over, occasionally revealing a touch of whiteness, so that everyone couldn't help but feel a little touched, the generals attending the meeting here, except for Stanley Spencer, the others were middle and lower level officers in the Praetorian Guard, they had heard that in the Gallic court, in order to protect the royal princess and princess and other female dependents, the court especially cultivated a group of female court knights from an early age, all of whom were orphans without relatives and no support,
Since childhood, he has undergone the strictest combat training, in order to avoid causing court turmoil because of his beautiful appearance when he grows up, such a thing once happened in the Gallic royal family, a crown prince and his personal female guard had feelings for him, and he did not hesitate to risk the anger of the whole empire, and insisted on marrying this female guard who was similar to a court slave as the queen, which caused a lot of chaos, since that scene, every court female knight at the age of ten would use a short dagger to scratch half of his face,
There are palace guards to follow, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to Algernon Giulia, that is, Stanley Spencer, the commander-in-chief of more than 100,000 troops, that is, a great knight in the royal guard, and behind Algernon Giulia, there are indeed real palace guards.
"Actually, your predicament, His Majesty the Emperor has already thought of it!"
Receiving a letter from Sophia's hand, Algernon Giulia's eyes swept over everyone, and the corners of his mouth chuckled, "Lord Stanley, this is the order that I just received from His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor has long been aware of Murphyo Boone's ambitions, in order to deal with the possible changes in the southwest, His Majesty the Emperor has actually been transferred back to the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army from the Eastern Battlefield in advance half a month ago!" "The Sixth and Eighth Armies of the Imperial Empire, aren't they in Kyoto to attend the celebration of His Majesty the Emperor?" Stanley Spencer was confused, "That's an illusion, of course!" said Algernon Julia, placing the letter in her hand on the table. Although nominally, the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army were transferred back to Kyoto to participate in the celebration, in fact, only 50,000 people actually participated in the celebration, and on that day, 30,000 people went out of the city, and the main force of the two legions also wandered around outside Kyoto, and quickly went south according to the plan, you also know that there are many spies in the northwest, especially those merchants, this time the emperor Xià took advantage of this, the two legions avoided the main road and went south in several batches.
In fact, the elite troops have been placed in the local garrison, and the northwest side does not know this, thinking that our army is isolated and helpless, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive and eat it in a bite, but they did not expect that what they are waiting for may be the 150,000 men of the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army, plus the 20,000 defenders of the Rusti region located in the southwest leading to the hinterland of the center of the empire, and the 170,000 army suddenly attacking behind the Falcon Army, plus you and I should be combined with the outside, it will inevitably be defeated with one blow, this is the idea that I have previously reported to His Majesty the Emperor about the concentrated battle in the northwest and southwest!”
"The inside should be the outside. Defeated in one blow!" Stanley Spencer's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Algernon Giulia was so determined to take the southwest capital in one fell swoop, and even did not hesitate to force Murphyo Boone to turn his face and fight, it turned out that it was all for this "Emperor Majesty's gaze was really terrible, if it wasn't for his previous defeat at the Sona River, which ruined the good situation of marching into the northwest, the two armies converged, and the imperial army was close to 400,000. It is enough to level the southwest and northwest in one fell swoop!
"It's still the Emperor's Majesty's foresight! Attacking back and forth, this time, it will be difficult for the 200,000 rebels in the northwest not to die!" The generals also looked at each other with a happy face, only one person, under the gaze of everyone who did not pay attention, Duke Locke, who had a somewhat gloomy face, frowned slightly, stared at the gaze of the pretty back of Algernon Julia in front, a trace of deep resentment flashed, and the corner of his mouth smiled bitterly, "It turns out that in the strategy of the Emperor Majesty for the entire western part of the empire." I don't even have the status of a small chess piece, or maybe I'm a dispensable outcast!"
"It's kind of interesting! It seems that this young emperor of Gaul is not a straw bale! He even knows that "the praying mantis catches cicadas and the yellow finch is behind."
In the afternoon, outside the city at the Falcon tent. The fat man looked at the urgent report sent in his hand, and the corners of his mouth showed a rare hint of sneer, and said, "The Janissaries who are still rejoicing in the southwest capital city have been killed, and they can't imagine that they only got the confidential news in the morning. Someone had already brought me to my desk in the afternoon, and of course, it was the undercover agents lurking in the city who were able to do this. Just with a fluttering arrow, this important news related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops was sent to us outside the city, and Duke Locke of Rosender will secretly throw it at us!"
"Your Majesty, I know that you have a clever arrangement, but how to deal with the 200,000 Gallic army at present is the right way!" Salon stood below with a sad face, after reading the information just now, he almost burst into tears, and he looked at the governor of the southwest who was about to fall on his head, but the battle of the southwest was unresolved for a day, and he was the governor who had worked hard and fought to the death countless times was unresolved, and that day, as soon as the dead fat man turned his face, his own governor immediately flew, thinking that it would be enough to defeat the tens of thousands of remnants of the capital, but His Majesty ordered the army to surround but not attack, and in the blink of an eye, Gaul filled up 200,000 troops,
"Oh my God, this is endless!" Salon was already itching with hatred, and said directly, "Your Majesty, it is better for our army to attack directly, and with the power of my 200,000 army, I guarantee to take the southwest capital within three days!"
"You have eaten the capital of the southwest, what should you do if the 200,000 Gallic troops don't come?" The fat man put down the report in his hand, rolled his eyes at Salon, stood up, came to the big tent and looked out the window, and pouted his lips in a disdainful tone, "I've only heard about thieves for one day, do you want us to be on guard all day long?"
"The 200,000 army is stationed on the border, like a high hanging sword raised above our heads, directly threatening the southwest of this land of four wars, there is Gaul above, there is Gangfei below, our army is sandwiched in the middle, if we can't open the dilemma on the side first, this sandwich cake in the southwest will become a quagmire that we can no longer advance to Gaul!"
"陛xià means...... Let's take the initiative?"
Salon looked at the strong fighting intent on the fat man's face, and said cautiously, according to his understanding of the fat man, the style of the falcon has always been like a fire in the wilderness, looking for the enemy's gap in the active attack, and then giving a blow to kill!
"You're right, the other party wants to attack from behind, and we can just give him a surprise!, the other party is waiting for us to besiege the southwest capital, and we can take the initiative to attack him by surprise first!" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The other party is 200,000, Your Majesty, if we follow the long rules, our army will send at least 100,000 people!" The 100,000 troops are still in the south, and they are all second-line troops with weak combat strength, of which 50,000 are the new army in the northwest that was only recruited this year, and the full number of troops that can be mobilized in the hands of His Majesty is 110,000, and at least 40,000 people are needed in the southwest capital at present to achieve the goal of forcing them not to dare to go out of the city, and His Majesty is going to attack the opponent's 200,000 army with 70,000 troops?" "Although the enemy has 200,000, in fact, there will be no more than 50,000 people who can fight in a short time!" The fat man smiled disappreciatively and patted Ssalon's shoulder, "According to the intelligence of the inside, the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps of the Empire are going south in batches, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they are scattered with the local army.
That is to say, once the war starts, it will take time for the other side to assemble, and remember the raid on Parabun by the old commander Anto, the old commander of Dorok, which is to seize the loophole that our army is similar to not being able to assemble the main force,
At that time, if it weren't for the veteran Anto, he had no intention of capturing Paravon, but he was afraid that the entire continent would be shaken by the fall of Paravon!
And this time, as long as it is properly arranged, I don't mind killing the strong with the weak, and then giving the Gallic Emperor more than 100,000 heads as a celebratory gift!" (To be continued......)
