Chapter 107: Scarlet Dawn (6)

On the wide surface of the Mosul River, merchant ships are like weaving. From time to time, a merchant ship with a wide body and a wide belly can be seen. The belly is full of goods and the river is down. The four-corner sails of the big merchant ship are like white clouds floating past. These are all Cargo ships departing from the upper Zhivading terminal,
This merchant ship is more than 20 meters long and more than 10 meters high. It is like a big belly man with a round belly. The upper layer is a driving sampan, and the lower layer is a wide four-story cargo warehouse, which can carry more than ten tons of cargo. It is a double-decker merchant ship built by the business alliance. The Satsuma's enlightened and unified release policy and the unique upstream advantage of the Zhivading main terminal allow these round belly merchant ships to easily wholesale goods to the lower Mosul River area. Therefore, Satsuma The merchant ship is also affectionately referred to as "the coachman on the Mosul River" by the merchants
Since the Samoor settled in Frondi, in order to strengthen the role of the north-south hub of the Frondi region, two large freight transit terminals have been added on the right bank of the Mosul River, and low taxes have been opened to Kyoto and North Lelag Fort The Shang Road, which daily docks the cargo ships here and there, has reached hundreds of objective, leather goods in the north, gems in the south, gold ornaments of the barbarian in the west, knight armor in the kingdom of the Sri Lankan in the east, after trading on the Zhivadine Exchange , Through this convenient channel into the prosperous area near Kyoto.
"Crunch" a big-bellied merchant ship twice as large as a normal merchant ship, swinging and docking at the upstream pier in Frondi, like a big fat fish squeezing into a calm school of fish, squeezing several nearby small merchant ships, squeezing and swinging indefinite,
　　 "Wow" the crew threw the heavy anchor into the river, a burst of white water appeared, and blistered into the bottom of the water, fixing the huge merchant ship firmly, 02
　　 "Papa!" The sampan on the ship was put down, and a fat man appeared on the bow of the ship. His face was pale and he was holding the bow of the bow, his eyes were a little dull.
"Huh! It's finally somewhere!" The fat man spit out a long breath, trying to suffocate his heart, but there was still a stuffy stuff in his chest that stirred in the stomach, a burst of sour water rushing in the throat "I didn't expect that I would be seasick if I was such a hero!" The fat man wiped the white foam from the corner of his mouth depressed, his mouth dry and bitter
"Disembark all! Hurry, hurry! Disembark immediately!" The loud voices of the captains of the teams rang through the sky at the pier, and a group of hundreds of Samoan soldiers drilled out of the big-bellied ship, leaving the pier still unloading Of the businessmen were taken aback, guessing what the situation was
"The first team went to the pier, the second team went to the pier, and immediately notified the pier garrison to block the upper and lower pier. All ships are not allowed to dock at the pier today!" Chico Huli, the commander of the guard squadron, commanded aloud. Mooring ships and clearing obstacles for the follow-up fleet.
Seeing that the various guards had assembled, Chico Huli glanced sharply and said firmly,
Our brother is fighting with the enemy in the Dato Fortress, each of you Minutes were exchanged for life by the brothers of the Dato's fortress, who could not complete the mission, and were executed by wartime decree! Don’t say that my new captain is not merciless.

　　 "Yes, Captain!" The guards below responded together, and soon turned into three teams running towards the dock
"Chico Huli!" the fat man asked Chico Huli, who was in charge of cleaning up the pier ships. "The things here are left to you. The situation in the Dato Fortress is urgent. I must rush over! Salon's second flag The regiment will soon arrive with the ship, and the clean-up work here must be quick"
　　 This time the Kyoto noblemen's raid plan did hit the fat man a bit off guard. Although I have received news that the noblemen might attack, I did not expect that the scale would be so large.
The Northern Army's main southward transfer, combined with the left-behind troops of Kyoto, the main force of nearly 60,000 noble private troops, like two iron tongs, wraps the relatively weak defense of the Frondi region in the middle, as long as it breaks through the barrier in the northern mountainous area of ​​Frondi Then, the main force of the private army going south can go around the back of the Omr area, form a siege with the private army in front, and strike back and forth, giving the three elite flag groups of Samoer a fatal blow. .
It is undeniable that the huge plan of Marquis Duacri is close to the strategic scope formulated by future generations. In this era when the lords of each place are independent, the fat man is the first time he has encountered such a generous and excellent strategic thinking opponent, if not The fat man is also a master who understands the strategic layout very well, maybe he will lose money this time
Marquis Duacri, who made a surprise punch, almost didn’t swell the fat man’s left cheek, but it was just swollen, not killed or stunned. The fat man’s good habits of precautions finally paid off. The waterway transport line played a life-saving role at this time. When developing the waterway transport line for commercial use, the fat man had hidden military use inside. The two freight stations at the Frondi docks can not only dock small cargo merchant ships, It can also dock large and large troop carriers dedicated to the Samoan army.
At this time, the three main flags of the Fatty were still holding hands with the private army in the Omr area. Once they hurriedly withdrew, it would not only cause the private army to chase down, but even if they arrived in Frondi, there were only 3,000 people stationed by Dato The fortress was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of private troops, and the northern barrier of Frondi was lost. At that time, not only Samoer was going to lose the Frondi area, but even Omr could not be guaranteed.
The only way is to transfer troops from the Samoor fortress along the waterway. Due to time constraints and the limitation of the number of ships, the 20,000 new troops trained in Zhivadin quickly assembled to prepare to go northward on the road to Frondi, while the 2,000 soldiers who stayed in the Samoor fortress remained. The elite infantry and the 3,000 light cavalry of the headquarters of the regiment were mixed to form the second flag regiment, and boarded from the pier of Samoer fortress and flowed down the river.
It takes only half a day to reach the Frendi Pier, which is only two hours away from the Dato Fortress where Samorr guards the throat channel~EbookFREE.me~The fat man doesn’t know yet. The cost of blocking private forwards in the northern mountains for an entire morning has earned precious time for Samoer’s counterattack.
The horse raced swiftly across the ground, and the wind blew through the fat man's ears. The beautiful and vast southern plains of Frondi passed under the horse's hoof, but the fat man was not in a mood to admire, and his eyes stared anxiously in front of him. The mountain pass, coming over there, is the fortress of Dato, which is keeping the southern passage,
　　 There was no thick smoke billowing up, no clamoring noises, even the drumming sound of the army, and the terrifying silence of the mountain pass in front.
　　 "Don't the Dato Fortress have fallen?"
This thought made the fat man scared out of his cold sweat, and he couldn't help whipping the warhorse, because he was in a hurry. This time, the fat man only had two guards beside him, and he only wore a simple mail armor. He was about to cross the mountain pass. ,
"Whew" a white shadow shot from a tree beside the road toward the fat warhorse. "Not good!" The fat man pulled the warhorse anxiously, but it was too late. The crotch warhh made a long hissing to the ground and threw the fat man After going out, fortunately, the fat man had a good skill. He quickly rolled over in the air and fell to the ground. The people behind the tree looked stunned.
　　 "Dead old man, look quickly" A sound of a yellow warbler was uploaded from the tree where the archery was just shot. "That stupid fat man is still not a human! This way he can't fall!"
　　 "Take care of him, grab the horse first!" Wei Dule was happily scolding the dagger and the two guards to kill,
　　 "No!" The fat man looked at the four dust all over his body, and he was incredibly unlucky and opened his eyes in disbelief. "What is this? Was it robbed at your door?"
