: One thousand six hundred and sixty-two Empire to Empire (1)

On the evening of July 22, the golden afterglow shone from the horizon with a last glimmer of light. A young man in the infantry commander's costume was riding a horse on the road north of Rusti, he was just in the hinterland of Gaul In the province of Rada, after completing three years of service, before returning to Kyoto to report, he received the emergency combat order, Viscount Seleola of the 35th Local Infantry Regiment,
It is more than 700 miles from the province of Onrada to the destination of Rasti. Behind him is the 6,000 Imperial infantry of the 35th Local Infantry Regiment, escorting more than 1,000 carts full of various supplies. The war between Guan and the west has shook the entire Gaul like the aftermath of the earthquake.
As the war spreads, once the last passage to the hinterland of the empire, Rasti Province, is lost, the rich interior will fall into a flame of war. This time, the Gauls have mobilized the troops of at least 20 provinces nearby. On the avenue, not only Seleola’s troops, but also a large number of troops in the direction of Rasti, the main infantry regiment, local reserve team, reinforcements, and heavy vehicles, countless people, gradually merged into a huge lineup The troops set foot to cover the sky.
The main force of this mobilization was the local garrison, so the equipment was also very different. The sole of the boots stepped on the muddy road that was soaked in the rain and made a noisy noise. The hem of the coat was slapped on the thin and small legs wrapped in leggings. ,
Most of the soldiers’ faces were malnourished. It was just raining last night. The cold armor of the soldiers covered the entire plain. Thousands of soldiers swarmed on the road like ants.
Serraola stopped the warhorse at a height and watched the advancing army. The inner karma can't help but sigh with emotion, according to his battle report. This time the Northwest Rebels are very powerful, and have already defeated the regular legions of the two empires,
This is still true of the regular army of the empire, not to mention their own miscellaneous troops, according to Gaul's military regulations, the war losses of miscellaneous cards are often the highest, because they will be arranged to perform the most front-line missions to block the opponent's most powerful cavalry impact. Few can survive
As he went deeper into the Rastí area, Séora also felt that the atmosphere of the war was suddenly strong. In the city during the day, the streets were actually empty, and only the army was seen, but no civilian. Light infantrymen wearing helmets and armed with long rifles scrutinized the intersections. I heard that the Northwest Rebels are very cunning. Used to launch harassing offenses, the scale is not large, but it is always worrying,
"Sorry, you cannot enter the city!"
At the entrance of the city, the guards of the guards read the transfer book in the hands of Séora. It is very regrettable that there are too many troops and it is difficult for the city to continue to settle. According to the order of the base camp, all the troops arriving later need to make a location report.
"Designated location?" Séróla asked confusedly.
"Your 35th Infantry Regiment invited General Gleda on the left to report that his station is in the Alas region sixty miles away. He will arrange for you!" The guard responded helplessly
"What! The of Greda is here too!" Selera frowned slightly. He knew that this Greda was even memorable. He was an experienced commander, but he had a very cold heart. The style of work is that regardless of the price for victory,
There was once a local infantry regiment that dragged 4,000 enemy heavy cavalry charge, creating a cruel record of opportunities for the cavalry to annihilate the enemy. At that time, Seleola was the deputy commander of the infantry regiment ordered to block. I remember that his subordinates became a piece, and under the heavy cavalry horseshoe of the enemy, it became a terrible scene of a large piece of meat. In that battle, Greda finally wiped out the enemy cavalry caught in the encirclement and forced the main force of the enemy to retreat. , And the Infantry Regiment to which Séorah belongs is 7,000, with a loss of more than two-thirds,
Because it is a local army, its merits were directly and mercilessly wiped out. The regular army did not even report it to the Ministry of Military Affairs. In the eyes of most Gaul regular troops, the status of the local army is very low, because most of the sources of the local army are Ordinary people with low status and ordinary nobles can be mixed in the local army with one official and one half. If they are high nobility, they will not go to the local army to mix their resumes.
"Sir, please report it to General Greda!"
The guard looked at the stunned Seleola and reminded him again that his eyes looked a bit unnatural and could not bear to look at the painful look on the other side's dusty and sweaty face. Two-thirds of the local army this time was arranged in Under the command of General Greda, this is the command of the commander of the army, Hasen Rambo. Many people have heard some winds. In order to deal with the terrible and terrible cavalry troops of the Northwest Rebels and reduce the loss of the main army, the commander of the Hasen Rambo seems to have intentionally let The local army is on the front line
"Let's go to the left wing to report!" Sérella waved his face somberly, and the cruelty of the original war emerged in his mind.
"Abandoned!" On the road, Seleola sighed secretly.
Late in the evening, Seleola came to a small town in the left-wing defense area of ​​the province. It seemed that martial law was already there. Under the hazy moon, only the patrol was walking in the town, stepping on the rugged land and rustling. The low voice of the house, the bark of the dog was heard faintly between the low houses.
"The squadrons rest on the spot!"
Seleola waved his hand at the front of the team. He traversed more than 700 miles and walked for more than ten days. Everyone was exhausted, and he needed to supplement water and food in this small town. Thousands of people opened the camp outside the town. He sent a unit to the local garrison to discuss the supply. I heard that an infantry commander arrived, and the head of the local garrison quickly came over in person. This is a Chinese Captain, also belongs to the local military system,
"Caallet, the fifth squadron leader of the 21st Regional Infantry Regiment!" The head of the garrison was a kind and middle-aged man, and he paid a salute to Seriola
"Seriola, the head of the 35th Infantry Regiment!" Seliola nodded in response. He just needed to ask the local garrison about the situation, morale, food, etc.
"Not very good" Caalette's face looked strange, shrugging his shoulders. It is not obscure that he has no confidence in the situation. "We have not yet engaged the enemy, but the news returned from the front is not good. The combat strength of the Northwest Rebels is very terrible."
"Scary?" Sérella's face changed slightly. This was already after he entered Rasti. He heard himself several times and used words like this to describe the enemy on the opposite side.
"It is said that there was a record of one of our cavalry killing eight of us, and most of the infantry were extremely well equipped," Kaalette explained slightly pale. "To be honest, they are not barbarians from the northwest, we What is the equipment of these local army?
"I once glanced far away on the front line. The armor was black and shiny. The cold light of the spear was very disturbing even across a long distance. I can guarantee that even the regular army is definitely not so elite. The feeling! Even the regular army has called the northwest rebels on the opposite side the magic army!"
"Magic Army!" Séorah couldn't help feeling a little trembling
"Hope is just a rumor!" Caalette's ugly voice stopped, and he asked Seliora about what kind of battle plan there was in the base camp. From the perspective of these mid-level officers, a single man in charge of thousands of steps Commander of the Corps. At least it's a general level, so I should know the secrets and plans of the base camp.
Caalette grinned embarrassedly at the corner of his mouth. "The local military sources everywhere are constantly advancing here, and all kinds of rumors are flying in the sky. Although I know that this is suspected of breaching confidentiality, it is like the people in the dark who are eager to see When it's bright, please forgive me!"
"Unfortunately, I don't know!" Serio opened his mouth. In the end, I regretted that I didn’t know anything, but the pictures of the tragic war in my mind flashed in my mind. These low-level garrisons and soldiers would not understand the strategies and plans of the adults. They just wanted to protect themselves from childhood. Growing up the city. Defend your favorite homeland and land, protect yourself and your parents, wife and children. Hearing the call of the country, they rushed to the battlefield in their hearts,
But they may not have expected that in the magnificent blueprint of the empire, they and their perseverance are destined to be abandoned. They will be the best cannon fodder for the empire. It's better to know nothing!
The cool July night breeze blows in from the meeting room window, gentle like a lover's hand
The door of the meeting room was tightly closed, and ten guards with black body armor stood at the door, gazing at everyone passing by in front of the meeting room with bright lights and hundreds of candles hanging on a huge bronze candlestick , White wax ash drags out a long shadow in the light
There were only three people in the room. The fat man was wearing a black military uniform. Hu Keqili was wearing the captain of the empire’s army. A map with scribbled icons was spreading on the table in front of the two, representing the Falcon Army. The black color and the blue color representing the Gauls are very clear. On this map, you can clearly see the situation in the Rusti area. As the two armies continue to increase their troops, they become more and more tense. The nose can smell,
In order to cope with the serious situation of day-to-day, and fully command this battle to determine the fate of the empire, the fat man personally took the base camp. The Falcon army in the Rasti area was divided into three parts. 30,000 people rely on terrain for defense. In the right-wing urban area, Saron led the 50,000 people of his army headquarters, built a defense line with Lacey City as the core of the defense, and the fat people led the Central Guards 50,000 people in the central Aslan area. ,
The reason why Hu Keqili was found is that the current situation is very unfavorable for the Falcon Empire
The Gauls vigorously started the war machine, just like the skin punctured by a needle and would naturally bleed. The Gaul army relying on the local advantage has a large number of sources that continue to enter the Rusti region. During the time when the two armies held together, The strength comparison between the two sides has changed from basically the same to 280,000 to 140,000, a 2:1 ratio. The Gaul army with superior strength is already ready to move. If it is not caught by a large number of hungry people, or it has already Launch a full counterattack against the Falcon Army.
Facing the Gaul army, which is about to break through 300,000 people, the fat man's face is very serious, Saron's eyes are fixed on the map, and the central general Hu Keqili stretched out his hand with a worried face, pointing at a certain on the map in front of him Location, Ning Sheng said
"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, two more Gauls’ local infantry regiments reached the Rasti area this morning! The Gauls’ total strength has exceeded 300,000, while our army has only 140,000. Multiple choices One hundred thousand adults are still on the way, even if they arrive. Our army is obviously at a disadvantage,
Especially on the left wing of our army's defense line, in addition to the original 60,000 Gaul 6th Army, the Gauls are still increasing their strength."
Hu Keqili pointed at the map and explained the current military strength comparison very carefully. He glanced at the fat man who was silent on the opposite side, and he realized that there was nothing expressed by His Majesty Falcon, and then the voice stopped. Continue to say, "Although the frontal main force of the Sixth Army has not yet meant a full-scale offensive, the forces on the left wing have already deployed more than twice the strength of our army. They are constantly exerting pressure on the left wing of our army. Once the Gauls' offensive is launched, our army's left wing is the main target of attack. The other party will choose to use this as a breakthrough, and then the other party will learn from us to deal with Gaul's Eighth Army. It will penetrate from the breakthrough and adopt a similar approach to our army. Cutting tactics! And our defense line is too long, it is difficult to achieve key defense"
"Then what is your suggestion?"
The fat man looked at the place of Hu Keqili's finger, frowning slightly. Indeed, after encountering a series of fiascos, the Gauls actually adopted upright battle tactics this time, playing steadily and steadily, using their superior strength. On the one hand, using the flat terrain of the Lasti area, the main force of the army was completely dragged into this quagmire of confrontation. On the other hand, constantly mobilize troops to strengthen the left
Although I don’t know who is planning this battle, if I just give up the eighth army of Gaul and give up half the area of ​​Rasti as a bait, I have to make a head-on confrontation with the Gaul army. The arrangement of the other party is undoubtedly If you succeed, even if you know that the opponent’s target is on the left, you will stare because of insufficient strength.
With the continuation of the confrontation between the two armed forces, the fat man has only recently discovered this dilemma,
After all, this is the homeland of the Gauls. Most Rasti people only recognize the existence of the Gaul Empire. Fighting the Gauls in such a place is itself a kind of human disadvantage, not to mention Russ. The Ti area is backed by Gaul's rich and densely populated hinterland. With the order, the army is constantly flowing. It can be said that both the internal service and the soldiers have occupied the advantage, but they have to transfer troops from the local Icadiwa. Under the two comparisons, this is one of the rare dilemmas that is not a dilemma.
The subordinate believes that some necessary measures can be taken to strengthen the defense on the flank. Hu Keqili glanced at the fat man with frowning eyes. As the person in charge of the left wing, he has been thinking for several days. Fat man asked,
After hesitating, Hu Keqili's finger swiped on the map of the Rasti area, and finally settled on a point. The finger nodded and raised his head to the fat man opposite.
"After observation on the ground, the subordinates found that the left wing has some dangerous highlands located on the flanks of the main defense line. These areas have very old defense systems. Some city walls and fortresses can be used as military fortresses with only a little repair.
On our military defense line, there are seven or eight similar sections. If all of them are renovated and strengthened, it should be able to greatly strengthen the defensive strength of our army's flanks."
The confrontation zone between the two armies is the ancient battlefield. It is said that in the era when the Gaul Empire was not established more than three hundred years ago, the lords of the Lasti area were lined up. The ruins of the ancient castle can be seen everywhere. Originally controlled by the Gaulic Eighth Army Stronghold, but with the full withdrawal of the Eighth Army, these nodes have fallen into the hands of the Falcon Army,
When the fat man inspected the defensive line, he walked past this highland. A little desolate wild grass relied on an old and huge fortress with a length and width of more than three hundred meters. It stood on a cliff. It is said that it was once A dwelling called the noble Agilent,
In the hundreds of years of historical changes~EbookFREE.me~The entire Agilent family has disappeared and has a long history, leaving only these ancient castles standing on the cliff walls with solid stones.
"Repair the original defensive measures?" The fat man looked at the position of Hu Keqili's fingers, suddenly felt his eyes light up, didn't know what he thought of, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a condensed voice "This method is good, too scattered defense. It’s better to concentrate on strengthening the line.
The fat man reached out his hand. At a point that Hu Keqili once used his fingers, he clicked heavily.
You can use these ancient castles as the guard core to form a separate defensive area. Raytheon in some locations...
The two are talking closely, "Bump", the knock on the door of the conference room
"Come in." The fat man stopped his voice and raised his head to shout
"Your Majesty, the news just sent from Xinhai City!" A guard pushed the door of the conference room, holding a report in his hand,
"It is the Dongting cavalry arrived!" The fat man took a look, and suddenly showed an indisputable joy,
30,000 prairie cavalrymen had just arrived in Xinhai City. Although these prairie men who had never taken a boat vomited half dead, but according to the tenacity of the prairie men, they would become full of vitality in half a day.
The 30,000 prairie cavalry who are good at long-range shots are at least equal to more than 60,000 infantry combat strengths, which gives the fat men who feel severely underpowered some consolation, even if they are military gods, they have a two-to-one ratio of military power in the face of the enemy and the enemy. The gap will also be very headaches. The flatness of the Rusti area has made both armed forces unavoidable. (To be continued
