: 1848 The 1st Winter Offensive of the Empire (6)

　　 The defensive news that the northern defense line was torn open shook the entire Gaul Kyoto,
　　
"Is it true? The Falcon Army just sat down on the horse-drawn board and crushed you!" Yald, the first person in charge of the Kyoto defense line, looked dignifiedly at the desk. How to explain it, General Gaul, straight body wearing a strict Gaul military uniform, golden edging looks heroic, and no longer sees the embarrassment of being beaten down by a water dog a day ago, precisely because of the huge contrast, so Yar De's look at the two people's cold eyes is more like murder,
　　
The two were exactly the leader of the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the North Army and the 7th Infantry Commander Ya Nu, who was defeated by the Saron Army two days ago. They lost their defense zone and lost more than 17,000 people. The person was escorted to Gaul Kyoto by the war team,
　　
　　"The enemy appeared too suddenly, almost just discovered that he had entered the range of attack, our army did not even have time to assemble, and hurriedly confronted.
　　
　　. . . "The new fifth infantry commander Gesef looked down ugly
　　
　　"Our army is also the same, even though we are close together, we are still crushed!" The seventh infantry commander Ya Nu was in line.
　　
"Okay, let's go down first, someone from the War Department will ask you for questions!" Yard rubbed his temple in pain, and his face was cold and he waved to the two generals who tried to explain, unwilling Seeing the faces of the two, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry about the gap in the northern front, which meant that the already stretched force of Kyoto had to adjust a part of it to the north. This was for the one who had already fought against the Falcon Army. Gaul Kyoto in the month is even worse,
　　
The current battle situation is not optimistic. Starting from mid-September, after discovering that the defense line of Gaul Kyoto is invulnerable, the frontal attack of the Falcons began to slow down, and began to patiently pull out the barriers outside Kyoto. When the winter snow fell, the key city on the outskirts of Kyoto, Onda, had been captured by the Falcon Army, and then the fall of four cities including Berkland and Fan Seiden. Everyone can see that the Falcon Army advancing to Kyoto is taking steps. 'S reduced attack line,
　　
　　When the two turned around and left, Ya Zuo stood up with a dignified face, his eyebrows twisted into a "word,"
　　
He began to feel that refusing the war into the winter did not bring a period of calm to the empire as expected. On the contrary, in this winter, the movement of the Falcon Army became more frequent. According to the news, the Falcon Empire is the most capable of fighting. The Central Army Group is gathering in the southwestern region, and the southern part of the Gangfei Empire, which was originally pinned down at the moment, is deeply trapped in the war with the Istans. It has no time to take into account the situation in the north. The Falcon Empire has spawned a big attack this winter. More obvious
　　
He had a hunch that the gap in the northern defense line was only the first link of this great offensive. The real test had just begun. The Falcon Army had turned the tool cart for transporting materials such as Mara Xue comb into a troop transporter for the transport force. The investment of a new computing tool has made the earth unimpeded. The thought that the Falcon Army can penetrate through the winter snow at high speed, even Yard feels uneasy in his heart. The anticipated obstacle has become the resistance of the enemy, and the vastness of northern Gaul The snowfield will no longer be an insurmountable natural barrier, what will the empire fight against the Falcon Empire!
　　
　　 Yadel is a very pragmatic person. In order to resist the new tactics of the Falcon Army, he asked the empire to collect 50,000 horses from the Kyoto front, no matter what horses, war horses, healthy horses, and horses. As long as you can pull the cart, if you want to deal with the falcon army’s horse-drawn sleigh, only you can build a horse-drawn snow. As soon as his proposal is turned in, it will immediately set off in Gaul Kyoto.
　　
　　 "What a joke, fifty thousand horses! Is this guy going to rob?"
　　
The nobles heard this proposal as ridiculously as they heard horses running in the sky. Gaul is not a horse-producing country because most of the land is located in huge basins, and the mountains on the edge cut off the road. On the road to the north, the scarce materials such as war horses were exchanged with the Slavs from the northwest, or smuggled from the Central Biya area. As for the source of smuggling, looking at this report, I felt the stormy East 4 The family leader of Zhu Chenwood, one of the ruling parties, as the intersecting edge of the two continents, the area where the Eastern Army is in power is precisely the production area of ​​beautiful horses with rich grass and grass. The best production place of the war horse is Zhu Chenwood, which is closest to the northern grassland. It’s a mountainous province, it’s a huge swamp with lush grass and a habitat for wild horses
　　
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs can't make up 50,000 horses. Such a requirement is too harsh, even absurd. If it is 2,000 horses, it may be possible!" Examining the documents with urgent words in hand, Gaul's Minister of the Interior Duke of Caston said in a hoarse voice,
　　
"Actually, there are enough horses in Kyoto!" Yald looked serious, and he did not give up looking up. "There are 311 Kyoto giants. That one does not have more than five carriages. The whole is just over 10,000. Excellent horses, not to mention that there are more than tens of thousands of nobles in Kyoto that have carriages, as long as all those horses are used, they can solve this problem!"
　　
　　 "Mad!"
　　
　　The Minister of the Interior, Duke Hecarston, slightly lipped his lips, said nothing, and the Yuqian meeting was locked in a silent suffocation. Gaul Kyoto does have enough horses, but the question is who is going to be the wicked one. Once the order of expropriation is given, the entire Kyoto will be offended
　　
"I'm a little tired! Yal Deqing, there are more than a thousand horses in the palace, which are rarely used, so I will give you! As for the others, you can do it yourself, I will give you such power! "
　　
In silence, a slightly hoarse voice said that it was the pale Gaul young emperor who stood up from his seat. "Your Majesty, be careful!" Algeron Julia standing behind him hurriedly supported his shaking body,
　　
After entering the winter, the young emperor's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and he could still see some blood color in the previous month. Now even after the court makeup artist's efforts to modify it, it only turned pale into pale. With Leah's help, his footsteps were extremely heavy, and he looked up at the sky outside and slowly left the venue.
　　
　　 "Your Majesty" Yard's body trembles, looking at the young emperor's back, his eyes turned red,
　　
　　 "My Liad family is willing to provide 170 horses for free"
　　
　　 "My Stella family provided 110 horse farts for free!"
　　
"Ninety-three horses of my Tex family!" With the emperor's example, the ministers who participated in the Yuqian meeting agreed to bleed blood despite the difficulty, and you have said that I have gathered more than 3,000 horses at the end of the meeting. The attitude of these top giants will also affect other giants in Kyoto.
　　
　　 At the end of a red carpeted corridor in the Gangfei Palace, the young emperor, who was breathless, sat down on a railing and looked at the statues with deep eyes. "Unfortunately, those who had already promised to give those royal horses to the newly promoted Guards now seem to be unable to honor them!"
　　
　　 "No, I think those good horses are more useful in the hands of Lord Yald!" said Argenon Leiria, looking down calmly,
　　
"Make the best use of things, this sentence is very suitable for me! At the end of life, you can see many things young and frivolous, do not know what to do and do not know what the enemy is, so that the empire moved to such a high level Inside the seven emperors of the Lu Empire, it may be almost my worst straw bag!"
　　
There was a trace of self-deprecation in the corner of the young emperor's mouth, and he looked at the'Mamen' in the distance. The hoofs meet at a height of more than 100 feet from the road, forming a pointed arc, a majestic anomaly. I can imagine how spirited the first generation of Gaul emperors were.
　　
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense," said Arjunon Leiria with a straight face. "Your Majesty is my rare British master in Gaul for hundreds of years. If it is not plagued by natural diseases, it is definitely inferior to the first generation of emperors. The existence! And the doctor has already said that as long as you don’t work too hard, your majesty’s illness will be eliminated by yourself!"
　　
　　 Haha, a rare British master for hundreds of years! "Hearing the words of Algeron Leiria, the young emperor smiled slightly." I know you are comforting me. What is the Lord, like the Vickia Falcon, caused by the soldiers, and all the talented people called the Lord, I heard that this guy is about the same age as me. In a few years, a great empire was unified, and my first war broke the father and emperor’s elaborate 15-year Seattle battle plan, which made more than 100,000 empire’s The warriors died in a foreign country, and finally they had to cede the ground to sum up. Compared with such a person, my "British Lord" really has no shameful qualification! "
　　
"I heard that there are prairie people in the Falcon Army. Is this true? The last time it was said that the prairie people hit Obaro a few decades ago. "The young emperor who has never had the opportunity to leave the palace has a touch of his face. Thinking look
　　
　　 "Yes, there was the prairie cavalry under the Falcon Empire the last time I hit all the way outside Kyoto!" Alje Nong Ria hesitated with a pretty face,
　　
　　"Tell me, what is the prairie cavalry combat?"
　　
,
I’m not sure, but their horsemanship is better than any knight.
Algeron Leiria sees it. His emperor’s interest is good today, probably because of his amazing performance at the Yuqian meeting, young The emperor has not made a statement for a long time,
　　
　　 explained that "in the killing battlefield under the arrow, wearing hard leather and chain mail, the sky and the bow are far beyond our range.
　　
　　Most of our archers are on foot, hiding behind the walls made of shields or fortifications made of sharpened wooden piles. The prairie people were riding horses and archery. Your Majesty, they are very dangerous..."
　　
　　 "Yeah, very dangerous!"
　　
A trace of yearning flashed in the eyes of the young emperor. He remembered that at the age of seven, he was first supported by his father’s broad shoulders on the tall horse. The father’s mouth said: "Stand straight, look forward, bravely take the horseshoe, My Gallic warriors don’t lose to the prairie people!"
　　
In the eyes of everyone, the teenager was dazzling and radiant like the sunlight in the spring breeze, the stone camp with carved patterns, the grass-like mansion as big as a castle, the crumbling wooden building tower, the marble stepped pyramid, And the timber hall with open roof and facing the sky. Some palaces have replaced fences with thorn fences.
　　
　　The cloak was like a wave in the wind, and the snow fell on it. He kept leading and looking back from time to time to make sure that others followed. Only once again strode smoothly. Waiting on the edge of the woodland two miles away from the winter town, the servants at the back have been thrown far away
　　
　　 "I can ride a horse"
　　
The young emperor seemed to see that he was giggling and yelling this feeling as if flying, and then he flew out, at that moment, he felt like a bird spreading its wings, childhood memories make people feel fascinated At that time, I didn’t need to think too much, because my father was the Emperor of Gaul, and his shoulders were wide enough to protect myself from the wind and rain for this country. Now, the statue of his father is accompanied by the statues of five other ancestors. Juxtaposed at the end of the corridor, the majestic eagle was sitting on the throne, looking down coldly,
　　
　　 Below the statue, engraved slender girls dancing on a marble base, only covered with flowers, they held a broken bottle and only the air was poured out. No one glances here, or soon, there will be a statue of his own standing there,
　　
Algeron Maolia stood quietly beside the young emperor and watched the emperor enter into trance again. This situation appeared more and more frequently, which was a symptom to the end of the illness. The only good thing was that the emperor was addicted to killing when he became ill. The habit is gone, and it is replaced by a kind of empty hole similar to the delusion. The doctor said that this strange disease is called ecstasy, and there is no cure for it. As the trance time becomes longer and longer, eventually one will not wake up again. ,
　　
　　 "Lelia?"
　　
I don’t know how long after that, the young emperor seems to be slowly recovering from his trance. His gaze falls on the rosy face of Agennon Lelia, who is sleeping on the promenade, from confusion to clarity. It’s because he can’t remember how many times he regained his soul. Each time, it takes a while to remember who he is. The sunset glow in the distance shines from the remote ridge and reveals when he traverses the roof of the tallest building in the Gaul Palace. A long black shadow, the palace in front of him made him feel cold.
　　
The order to collect war horses throughout Kyoto was issued. The decision made by the Imperial Council and the example set by His Majesty the Emperor himself, no one dared to object, but it does not mean that they can do it willingly because of the fiscal deficit for several months, the army Is unable to give compensation to the owners of these war horses" and this kind of thing itself cannot be convincing. The nobles looked at one by one, and why the family recruited three horses, while the other family recruited only two horses. There are micro words,
　　
After being overwhelmed by the army, the nobles began to find various bad horses and sick horses, and the resulting problems appeared. The army experienced a plague in the winter. First, only two guard horses The soldiers in the circle fell ill. The two soldiers used the convenience of their positions to privately sell the sick and dead horses in the stables to the market to sell. Now the prices are skyrocketing. Even ordinary nobles can't afford expensive but rare quantities of pork There are not many people who eat horse meat. At first, it did not attract people's attention. This is treated as a general food poisoning.
　　
As a result, the pneumonia showed a trend of large-scale spread. In just five or six days, the number of people who fell ill in the army reached thousands, and more fell in the city of Kyoto. More than two thousand people have been waiting for opportunities. The Kyoto aristocrats, like mad dogs who smelled bloody, pointed their fingers at the outrageous horse recruitment command at the same time, and they were panicked and rumored. They thought that this must be because of the serious sins of some people, which led to the anger of condemnation. The order to raise war horses had to stop temporarily,
　　
In the end, Yard only got less than 10,000 horses. Among them, more than 3,000 horses were processed because of the plague. The remaining 6,000 horses were turned into a carriage of six horse-drawn sleds. On the opposite side of the de Kyoto line, the northward Saron Army marched fast with the new tools of horse-drawn sleighs, and the Gaul New North Army was completely stunned, and it was thrown away a lot in maneuvering, often receiving a place Found the news of the Falcon Army, the reinforcements are still on the way, and they have fallen over there,
　　
　　In late October, the soldiers of Saron had been pushed to Antura, the northern town that was once the capital of the Slavs, and the river in the morning light was like a shiny blue-green ribbon. The reeds along the bank were overgrown, and Salon saw a water snake swimming across the river quickly, with ripples behind him. Overhead, an eagle lazily hovered in flight.
　　
　　 An Mula, who had just been swept away by the Gaul army, was miserable, and all the places passed were empty and ruined, regardless of the farmland, villages, castles, churches, and barns. The revenge of Gaul's army burned, burned, killed, and even set fire to the woods.
　　
　　 Fortunately, the leaves almost fell in winter, and it has recently rained, so the fire did not spread.
　　
　　 "If the lake can burn fire, they must not let go."
　　
　　Saron quipped with the adjutant around him that the adjutant was a Slav, looking at the mirror-like lake in front of him. He seemed to see the clan camp from the wilderness, just like ten years ago. When the boat carried him away from his home,
　　
　　 That day he stood by the boat rail, listening to the paddling of the oars and the drums of the oar officer, looking at the distant cliffs gradually shrinking in the distance.
　　
　　 silence,
　　
　　 As a guide leading northwards~EbookFREE.me~ This Slavic lady's complexion is ugly, knowing that Saron is right.
　　
　　 The night he escaped, the blazing fire was shining brightly on the water, as if the lake was really burning.
　　
　　⑽ Madam Vancera's tragic migration after the Gaul army chased and intercepted was a tear in itself. Seeing the gate of the former home was cut down, the wall was half collapsed, and there were white bones inside.
　　
The guide knelt on the ground with only one glance, and his eyes were full of tears. "Dead, will die." He said, "I have been bitten by a dog."
