Chapter 249: "·Mullen's Decision"

The monarch must be a fox in order to recognize the trap, and must be a lion in order to scare the jackal.
-Nicolo Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)
Two flowers bloomed on each side, when Bai Feng actively led his army to launch an attack on the hinterland of the Kingdom of Essini; the battle between the Eastern League and the western part of Lusi also reached a critical moment, and the two sides mobilized more than 500,000 in the border area. Had a decisive battle.
The leader of Lu Xiluo, Veriasius, personally led the 200,000 elite divisions against the 400,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance. Compared with the profound Lu Xiluo, the newly rising Eastern Alliance can only use the quantitative advantage to target Lu Xiluo. Quality advantage.
Of the eighteen tribes in the entire Eastern Alliance, only the three most powerful tribes, the Dart tribe, the Aiden tribe, and the Wockley tribe, each produced elite 50,000 warriors; the other twenty-five warriors, It's an army that everyone has put together.
As early as a month before the start of the decisive battle, the leader of the Dart tribe learned of the bad news of his eldest son's death in the west bank of the Cangluo River; the unlucky warrior who informed him of this news was angry at him on the spot. The long sword was hacked.
Even if he hacked this unlucky guy, he could not calm the pain of the bereavement in the heart of the leader of the Dart tribe; he desperately wanted to immediately command the entire army of the Dart tribe and cross the Cangluo River as his beloved child revenge.
Frustratingly, the battle between Lu Xiluo and the Eastern League made him completely unconcerned; even if he was to deploy a part of his troops to attack the Roman city on the southern bank of the Cangluo River, he could not do it.
As the leader of the Dart tribe, one of the three major tribes in the Eastern League, Mullen was unable to avenge his son. Such pain caused him to suffer; in the end, he sent a small force of 5,000 people to return. The army made a reconnaissance south.
The army of 5,000 non-elite divisions is only a small-scale reconnaissance force for the Dart tribe with nearly 100,000 troops, and other Eastern Alliance leaders have not cared about the whereabouts of this force.
This reconnaissance force sent by Mullen personally descended all the way to the north bank of the left tributary of the Cangluo River; they lacked crossing ships and could only transport soldiers to the southern bank of the Cangluo River in units of 100 people. Encountered.
Hundreds of enemy troops landed and met more than 6,000 Roman spears. The first landing reconnaissance troops of the Dart tribe were wiped out on the southern bank of the Cangluo River without even a bubble appearing. On the land.
The Dart tribe reconnaissance force, who had eaten a long and a long time, soon gave up this behavior that was nothing less than death, and turned to find a way to collect more ships, intending to cross the entire reconnaissance force across the Cangluo River at one time. .
Just as they were collecting ships intensively, the number of double-row battleships in Rome also increased dramatically; when they collected enough ships to prepare for the second crossing of the river, a patrol fleet of three double-row battleships Appeared.
The three double-row battleships that rushed into the wind quickly rushed into the group of enemy ships that wanted to cross the Cangluo River; the two-row battleships that rammed all the enemy ships that were unfortunately hit by the sinking, but this It's just the beginning.
Each double-row battleship in the city of Rome has a hundred long archers with amazing ranges, and on the three double-row battleships there are 300 long archers ready to shoot in volley; these long archers rushed into the enemy fleet on the double-row battleships After the middle, it was also quick to shoot bows and shoot arrows.
The warriors of the Roman city in the strong arrows, used their own strength to give a good lesson to the reconnaissance troops of the Dart tribe; they have not yet waited for the defensive enemy to organize their defense, and the other team consists of three double-row battleships. The formed patrol fleet also arrived here.
The two Roman City patrol fleets took about half an hour to almost wipe out the reconnaissance unit of the Dart tribe; the entire surface of the water was full of fallen enemy wooden boats and floating enemy bodies, Roman City The admirals did not lose every soldier.
The enemy reconnaissance force, which suffered a fiasco, only luckily dozens of people fled back to the north bank of the Cangluo River and escaped from the arrows of the long archers to ascend to heaven. He fled back to their tribe.
When Mullen saw these dozens of soulless warriors, this time he did not have irrational anger, but instead kindly comforted these fighters who escaped, and learned in detail from their mouths afterwards. Everything they encountered.
At this time, Mullen really realized that the strength of the Roman city should never be underestimated; he returned to calm, he did not blindly send a small army to die, but put his entire attention temporarily to Lucy The body of the tribe.
Mullen’s son is more than one, and the impact of losing his son is extremely limited; the short-term rage is only his normal reaction, and when this matter is accepted by him, it is not for him to lose a son. Big deal.
Marlen, who married seven wives, had a total of thirteen sons and six daughters. Losing a son is not a big deal for Mullen at all. If this son is his eldest son who has high hopes, he even No eyelids will lift!
However, the impact of the death of the eldest son on the Mullen and Dart tribes was not so easy to end, because Mullen had to re-select a suitable heir among his sons, and the Dart tribe also needed a new chief heir.
As a result, an open battle between the heirs was fiercely launched within the Dart tribe; but before the battle between the Eastern Alliance and Lu Xixi was over, all the battles were still in the incubation period. Is the top priority.
The battle-hardened Viriasius has long been annoyed by the aggressiveness of the Eastern League; this battle between Lu Xiluo and the Eastern Alliance was also a problem for the entire Lu Xiluo noble class against the Eastern Alliance.
However, the scattered Lu Xiluo is difficult to gather a large number of troops to attack the Eastern League at one time, so in the tug-of-war between Lu Xiluo and the Eastern Alliance, the number of Lu Xiluo who is at an absolute disadvantage will always eat some big deal. A small loss.
After several lessons, Veriasius was determined to resolve the threat of the Eastern Alliance once and for all; while the two sides’ troops were still conquering each other in the border area, Veriasius was back at the border. Gathered 150,000 elite troops!
When 150,000 Lu West fell into reinforcements, after Viriasius personally led down to the border area, Lu Xiluo's total strength reached 200,000 people, all of which were made up of elite and powerful teachers composition.
In comparison, the Eastern Union’s 400,000 troops will be much better and worse; but the Eastern Union’s strength is not fake, and the presence of more than 150,000 elite divisions has kept the Eastern Union’s troops in quantity and quality. Absolute advantage.
In fact, if Veriasius had absolute confidence in himself, he could delay the battle for a month and fight again; at that time, his men were not the masters of 200,000 elites, Even the 400,000 elite teachers can get it!
