439 Vecchia's Counterattack (1)

The heavy hall door closed behind him, and Croissat walked down the corridor on the outer floor, the wind coming out of the side window brought a little rain to his face, making him feel a rare coolness,

"It's really not the right time for this rain to come" Thinking of the content of the meeting just now, Croryssatt suddenly stopped, looked at the inky sky outside where there was still rain, and her eyebrows became more and more frowned.

"Please wait for Captain Crolysat," Captain of the Guards, Hukochili, called out to Croissat, who was about to mount and leave, at the end of the corridor.

"This is what the Grand Duke asked me to give to you," Hukochili walked over with a cautious expression, and took out a parchment scroll stamped with the Governor's Palace stamp from his bosom,

"Is this?" Croryssatt looked at Hukochili with a puzzled expression

"This is the appointment document signed by the Grand Duke himself," Hukochili smiled at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly straightened up and respectfully saluted Croissat, and his words were a little more solemn

"The Duke specially instructed that this battle is related to the future national fortunes of Vicchia, from now on, your lord can control the western armies with the ring, and after the war, your lord will be the first governor of the west of Vikia."

The words of the "Governor of the West" Hukochli made Croryssat's expression flutter for a moment, and then showed a look of ecstasy,

Although the western part is desolate, it is a vast area, and it covers at least two counties in terms of area alone, especially under the economic incentives of Samore and the filling of a large population in the north.

The unique geographical location and fur specialties of the West are becoming the object of favor for merchants, and this once desolate region is not only rapidly regaining its vitality, but is gradually forming another new economic center.

"This is really ......" Crorysette was speechless with excitement, almost trembling palms to take the paperwork, for the fat man's trust, Croisette was moved and almost knelt down,

This is an unimaginable appointment, and in the whole of Vecchia, except for the Governor of Statunko in the south, which is in the rear, this is definitely the second appointment from the Duke's Palace,

It is a real power to control the armies of the west and to have full authority to deal with the affairs of the west.

Even the commander of a theater of operations, such as the Salon Legion guarding the north, has absolutely no qualifications and can interfere in other legions and local affairs.

This is definitely a great trust for the Mountain Legion, which has always been only responsible for assisting in the attack and is considered a second-rate legion, as an old man who has been following the fat man since the time of the lord and fighting bloodily, he was compensated at this moment

"The Grand Duke is a nostalgic person, as long as he has merit, the Lord will not forget any of them," Hu Keqili's words seemed to be meaningful, and he turned to several other flag commanders and said, "As for the interests of the various tribes, the Grand Duke will definitely not forget the interests of the various clans, no matter how the various clans behave in this battle, I, Vykia, will definitely not forget your support."

Hukochili's words suddenly paused, looked at the eager generals in front of him, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "As for how much, Lord Duke didn't say, only said that half of the land obtained in this battle will be distributed to the clans as a reward,"

The faces of the leaders of the banners of "Half of the Land" changed, and the area of the western steppe was almost equivalent to half of the Grand Duke of Vecchia's words, which undoubtedly gave them the right to decide on the division of this land

The expressions of the leaders of the "Land" banners, who had been solemn just now, also changed, and their eyes glowed with a scorching light, they were the commanders of the tribes, and behind them stood the wishes of the people and the elders

With the continuous advancement of the Samar war area, the mountain tribes attached to the big tree of the Samar army are also beginning to walk out of their own inherent barren areas and move towards a new life

The rich rewards of war and commercial trade made these fierce barbarians one of the main bodies of the Samar army.

With the return of the tribesmen who had grabbed a lot of wealth from outside, and the breaking of the land control system of the local lords, the desire to become a free people with their own land was taking shape among the mountain peoples, who wanted a habitat that would allow them to get out of the mountains

The narrow and limited mountainous terrain in the south can no longer meet their needs to continue to expand their tribes, and it is their most urgent desire to move towards a wider area.

A vast and undisturbed habitat is as precious as gold for these southern mountain people, and the fat man's promise at this moment is like a sharp arrow shot through the hearts of the mountain peoples, even if it may be just a promise like a flower moon in the mirror, but it is enough to make the mountain peoples who are eager for more wealth and land, and who have just straightened their waists, burst into tears.

"Please tell the Grand Duke that I am here to pay him the highest respect on behalf of all the mountain tribes" Looking at the excited faces of several flag commanders beside him, Croissart took the lead in saluting Hukochi,

"Long live the Grand Duke" The other flag commanders also straightened up with a grateful face, and all of them made a tribal salute to Hu Keqi, and the ** of war burned in their hearts

Watching the figures of Croissart and several generals disappear into the rain, Hukochili knew that the appointment that the Grand Duke had just personally signed had undoubtedly set the generals of the Western Legion on fire.

The ** of war has never been so strong in their faces,

Hukochili's steps stopped at the corner of the corridor, and through the canopy in the far northwest, Hukochili looked up curiously, the rain was falling, but the sky on the northwest edge, bursts of red glow were rolling, which was a sign before the storm

The general decision-making order for the operation in the western steppe was issued half a month ago, and the entire Vekia army is like a sophisticated instrument, already operating secretly and fiercely.

The armies in the center and south have taken up their positions and are ready to deal with the retaliatory army of Ryerdian, and the main mountain army has also moved to the west

It is a barren land, different from the vast central grassland, the terrain is extremely complex, the mountains and hills are mixed with the grassland, and the swamp land and the alpine hard soil are the main landforms of the western grassland.

The snow-capped Daxue Mountain area makes the climate change in the western grasslands even more impermanent, maybe in the morning it is still windy and snowy, and the hail the size of your thumb smashes on your head, and at noon the sun can shine, and the baked armor is hot and difficult to wear.

The most terrible thing is at night, the sudden severe cold, which will freeze the unsuspecting into a popsicle, for this, the fat man who once commanded the Western Campaign is undoubtedly aware of it,

According to the fat man's analysis at the meeting, and the addition of representatives of the Maomo family who are familiar with the western terrain,

It was unanimously agreed that the Irdian army, which came mainly from the temperate zone of the central region, would encounter unpredictable resistance in the Aklila Mountains, which entered the hinterland, even if they had already crossed the meadow area in the eastern part of the western steppe.

It was a hilly land composed of cold hard soil high in the west and low in the east, which was a difficult problem for the Ruierdian army, which was mainly heavily equipped.

Storms and rain and snow have turned the already difficult mountain road into a frozen frozen ground, no matter how elite the army, in such a harsh environment, the speed and combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.

If you want to detour from the hinterland of the western steppe, which is dominated by highlands and hills, to the north of Tulga in the strategic plan, this difficult permafrost mountain road is the only way to go.

Even a cavalry with strong feet will take at least ten days, and if there is infantry in between, it will take even longer.

This is a godsend

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind" When the fat man watched Mao Mona's snow-white fingers scratch across the map, he naturally thought of this word, if such an opportunity is wasted, it will be punished by God"

The complex terrain and weather made the people of Ryerdian choose here to avoid the eyes of the central Kugit scouts,,

But it is also enough for the Wikibians, who are closer to the hinterland of the western grasslands, to come from behind, and stab the buttocks of the Ruierdian army from behind, and completely knock the hundreds of thousands of Ruidian's army into a hell that is difficult to turn over.

The first to attack was the mountain army that was familiar with the battle in the mountains and hills, which was well thought out by the fat man.

Compared with other troops that are good at plain combat, the mountain legion, which is mainly composed of mountain barbarians and swamp thorns, can undoubtedly exert its own fierce assault ability in the complex area of the western hills.

The mountain hunters' outstanding ambush skills and the mighty longbows of the Thorns are enough to make this alpine hilly region a grave for foes

For the sake of prudence, the fat man even did not hesitate to hand over another force in his hand to Crowissat,

In addition to the 40,000 troops composed of mountain people, there are also 2 western flag regiments that have just completed their installation, which undoubtedly gives Crowrissat a little more confidence

The soldiers of these two regiments were mainly composed of freemen who had been granted land in the west, and although they had only been formed for three months, they were still somewhat different from the front-line combat units in terms of numbers and suzhì.

However, the leading officers of these two flag regiments are elite veterans drawn from the main battle flag regiments by the Duke's Palace, and cutting-edge non-commissioned officers from the Southern War College.

For them, the bad weather in the west is just a "local battle" for the use of these two new flag regiments, and the fat man also gave Croissa a bottom in order to dispel Croissa's doubts.

"The brilliance of Samore is blood-stained blood, a warrior who has never seen blood, no difference from a peasant," the fat man whispered, and handed the family ring in his hand to Croissat

The "Battle of Akalila", a decisive battle that had a far-reaching impact on later generations, was settled in such an atmosphere that was both a bit of luck and a little dignified.

With more than 60,000 troops on the front, and if you count the armies that are ready to respond to the northern borders and the central and southern parts of the kingdom, the total mobilized force is more than 100,000, which is the largest foreign war in Vekia, and it is also a war that can decide the future fate of the three powerful kingdoms

Departure from the highest command center of Vekia in the Murhausk region "Eagle's Nest"

Krollissat stopped his horse at a fork in the road south of Kudan, he looked at the two banner commanders beside him, and ordered with a solemn expression

"Saklaize, Isah, you two immediately return to the southern headquarters of Kudan, mobilize the main force of the garrison and rush to the western city of Vita within three days!"

"Yes, Legion Commander" The two flag commanders nodded yes,

Crorysette turned his head and looked at the other generals behind him, and his voice was a little more agitated and bloody, "Haven't you always longed for wealth and land, now, the opportunity has come, the Grand Duke is looking at you, Vekia is looking at you, I hope you don't let the Grand Duke down."

I'll be waiting for you in Vita with the main army, it's a big battle, and we're going to have to face twice as many enemies."

Crorysat's excited voice stopped, his eyes swept over the generals in front of him, and with a crisp sound, Croissat pulled out his saber and pointed to the sky in the distance with a fierce expression: "We mountain hunters have a proverb, if you miss the opportunity, you won't come back, and the moment you long for it is right in front of you, and it depends on the determination of your tribe, I hope you go back, and be able to convey the words of the Grand Duke to the patriarch, three days, three days later, I will set off, I hope you can remember what I said today,

Crorysart gave a soldier-only courtesy to the other generals with a respectful expression, and said excitedly, "Victory, in the name of war, let glory lead you forever."

"Victory, in the name of war" Several flag commanders seemed to be stimulated by Crowley Sart, and they all drew their sabers with excited expressions and held them high against the rain in the sky

The horn of war sounded silently, and the 30,000 main forces of the hill corps stationed in the south of Kudan quickly entered the western border along the corridor of the Vatu Mountains, where they had fought bloodily.

Accustomed to the swampy terrain, the Thornwat were the first to arrive, and according to the plan, under the guidance provided by the Momo family, they entered the Akalila Mountains in batches, which were ready to be ambushed

In addition to the original 30,000 soldiers, several larger mountain tribes also sent out their own 20,000 reserve troops at the bottom of the box.

Although Croissette had already made preparations, but it was still in a hurry by this part of the extra people, this time to enter the western steppe to fight, the most important thing to solve is the cold cotton clothes,

It's a hot July, and it's a big problem to get tens of thousands of cotton clothes, and Croryssatre reported the problem to the fat man.

With the issuance of emergency orders, the large and effective wartime supply mechanism of the commercial alliance also quickly operated, all kinds of war materials were transported to the front line in an orderly manner, and cotton clothing to protect against the cold became a restrictive circulation commodity in the hot summer of July.

Eighty thousand pieces of cotton clothing and all kinds of necessary materials collected from various sources were transported to the various units of the mountain army corps in wagons marked with army symbols.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and businessmen can always smell different smells from the movement of large quantities of materials.

The fact that cotton clothes, a dead goods in the hot summer, were suddenly accused, undoubtedly made the businessmen with a keen sense of smell feel something.

The caravan began to move

War, a word that makes everyone frown, is a symbol of wealth and glory in Samori, from the bustling commercial trade to the migration and boom of the population.

Without war, there would be no qiē, merchants would not have more lucrative new trade routes, peasants would not have access to more land, and barbarians would not have access to new habitats and rich rewards.

War is a source of qiē, which has become the consensus in the hearts of WikiAsians.

Whether he is a wealthy merchant worth tens of millions, or an unknown down-and-out nobleman, whether he is a descendant of a knight who was once glorious, or a mountain barbarian who was originally excluded from the main ethnic group,

War has undoubtedly become their first way out, they only need to cut off the head of an enemy, and they can get half a year's income from ordinary peasants.

Five heads you have the opportunity to get the most beautiful maiden in the village as a wife,

Ten heads, you can already become a respectable Samore officer, even the governor of the town will salute you respectfully when he sees you

If you lose your life because of war, your family will still be rewarded with rich compensation and honorable glory for your bravery

Wealth and glory are like twin sons tightly wrapped around the mother of war, and who wouldn't love that?

What's more, this is a legendary army that has never been defeated in battle, and under the glorious and shining swords, there are fierce and fierce Kujits, the rock-like tough Dardanelles in the south, the Clais people with noble blood, and countless noble families from all over the world.

No matter how powerful they once were, how they made people look up,

In front of Samore's sweeping sword of war, in addition to choosing to be a part of the sword of war, it is to become the soul of Samor's cold sword, and Rui Erdian, who is recognized as the number one power on the mainland, cannot shake the glory of this legendary legion

In addition to the bleeding of the head, he was deeply cut off a piece of flesh and chased for glory and wealth, which turned the Vekian War into a violent and effective catalyst,

The underlying character of the barren mountain people who yearn for glory and wealth characteristic of the Vecchian people gradually awakens to the aura of invincible victory and unimaginable wealth of the Samar army,

The rise of a country is, first of all, the awakening of the national will of that country

"War must be war!" Countless caravans began to march towards the western border, horses, caravans, troops, and even mercenaries, gathering nearly 100,000 people on the remote western border, all anxiously waiting for something

war

But they don't know that what they are longing for has been played out in a certain area.

Large snowflakes fell on Saka Melon's head with the rain, and the cold wind blew from the hilly pass, and the leather armor on his shoulders had hardened and frozen, making him feel a piercing pain.

A conspicuous scar was pulled from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ear, making his already ugly face even more hideous, but at this moment, he was like a cunning tanuki, lying motionless on a rocky crust not far from the mountain pass, in front of the mountain pass, a row of dense tents occupied the mountain road, and several patrols walked past the cliff below him several times.

"Captain, that's right, this is the coat of arms of the Third Army of Raldian," a dark figure climbed up from nearby, spread out his hand to reveal a knight's coat of arms, and whispered to Saka Brown's side
