Main text 1603 The Cold Winter in Gaul (V)

The white mist still filled the stone road of the port. A Falcon Guards Cavalry wearing black armor came flying from the port. He shouted while running. His voice attracted the attention of many soldiers in the military port. Under everyone's attention, Below, the Guards Cavalry entered the center of the port, which was a four-story square building with It used to be the headquarters of the Southwest Navy. After the Falcon Navy took over, it served as the temporary headquarters of the Falcon Navy. The Guards Cavalry who reported the news stopped their horses in front of the steps of the building. The horses were not yet steady, and the Guards Cavalry made a neat move. He jumped off his horse and hurried up the eighteen steps in front of him.

"Quick, battle report from the front"

The Guards Cavalry pushed open the door forcefully with his right hand and ran all the way with the battle report in his hand. The loud sound shook the outer hall on the first floor of the command room. Several naval officers on duty on the roadside turned their heads almost at the same time. They were already waiting there. The lieutenant-general who was responsible for secret transmission quickly came over and took the battle report from the messenger. His eyes paused on the red seal of the report. Without even delaying another look, he hurriedly turned around and went upstairs. ,

The adjutant's heavy footsteps sounded rapidly in the stairwell, then suddenly stopped and disappeared. . . .

At this time, the naval officers waiting downstairs finally came to their senses. One of the brave officers picked up a bottle of wine stored in his desk, quietly handed it to the Guardsmen who were panting at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Brother. , can you tell the truth? This time the navy is victorious."

"Of course it's a victory!" The Guards Cavalry raised his head, took a sip of wine, and said vaguely. "That's the news that just came back from the attack fleet! Lord Dostronkai's fleet is 40 miles east of the Wriston Sea. In one fell swoop, he defeated Emperor Gangfei who had been following him all night. The Chinese navy sank 74 enemy warships at the cost of 7 Dragon Tooth warships! The enemy fleet collapsed and fled in all directions. There were no more enemy warships in the southwest sea that could fight. Although this news has not been made public yet. Apparently, this won't be considered a secret any time soon.

"So, we won! We won!" The cheers of the naval officers echoed in the ears. The entire command hall was already a sea of ​​joy, high fives, hugs, and slaps. Holding each other's shoulders and beating each other's chest.

"The entire southwest sea is ours! Long live the Navy"

Everyone is laughing, this is the navy's revenge battle. The whole plan took a lot of effort from the Navy. Not to mention the mobilization of materials, just to put together a huge transport fleet of up to 200 ships, it was enough for the Navy to be dizzy.

"What's going on down there?"

The fat man turned around from the window, his eyes were as red as a rabbit. He had not slept all night. This time the plan was indeed a bit risky, but it was worthy of the risk. Once it succeeds, the harvest will be huge. With the heavy concentration of troops from the Congo Navy, the core of the sea area, Adonis, was captured in one fell swoop, and then the carbine was turned back. Dragging the main force of the Congolese Navy into an extremely unfavorable and passive battlefield, whether the attack fleet as a decoy can complete its mission will be the key to the entire campaign.

But now it's been 20 hours. Even the fat man who reviewed the entire plan a dozen times still felt uneasy.

This is war, and plans can never keep up with changes. Any situation can happen. Victory has never been taken lightly. It is the final result that is finally exchanged for blood, life and will. The attack fleet advances strongly, but the initial unfavorable stagnation makes the next dozen hours, for As far as the exhausted attack fleet is concerned, it is on the verge of death. Once the Gangfei navy sees through its strategic intentions, or gives up following and returns quickly, the 20,000-strong army fighting on the island will face enemies from both sides.

No one knows how many people will sleep in the vast sea after the war is over. Countless of them don't even have a tombstone. However, they left their own footsteps, their own voices, and their own roars in this era.

"Your Majesty, battle report from the front!"

The deputy officer on duty hurried in with the battle report and handed it to the fat man.

The fat man took a look and saw the good news. Dustronkai lived up to his expectations. He was 40 nautical miles away from the target trap and suddenly killed the Gangfei people by surprise. The Gangfei navy rushed to fight. After a fierce battle for 2 hours, the Gangfei navy fleet The formation was disrupted, and the sailors were too tired to continue fighting, and had to leave the wreckage of more than 70 battleships and evacuate. The navy made a bet with its own life and glory, and now it has won the qualification to burst into cheers that resound through the sky!

"Tell Hu Keqili who is fighting on Adonis Island that the navy has completed its mission. It's up to him now! Before the sun rises above the center line today, I want the Falcon Army's battle flag to be raised on Adonis Island. Fat Man's Face He coldly placed the heavy report on the table and waved to the deputy officer who delivered the report.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The adjutant left the room very wisely.

The fat man looked at the sea outside the window and listened to the cheers of the naval officers downstairs. His black pupils were faintly flashing with deep light spots. The sponge under the scorching winter sun shone with a bright red light. The red The sea rolls in the sun, white The sea waves were dyed red, like a ball of wrinkled plain cloth. The port, which was once densely populated with masts, was now empty and only the shadows of a few transport ships could be seen. Thick white fog echoed in the port, and patrols were carried out in the port. The shadow of the soldier is like in the clouds,

The soul of the Imperial Navy will be forged again in this battle. Failure is not terrible. Being able to get up from failure is what the Imperial Navy needs most. Ten minutes later, Fatty received a report from the army. Hu Ke As expected, Kili successfully captured Adonis Island! The Falcon battle flag fluttered over Adonis Island, which marked that the southwest sea area was completely under the control of the Falcon Navy. On February 21, the Congo Navy, which had lost its reliance points and most of its combat warships, had to sail under the Falcon Under the pressure of the navy, Acting Commander-in-Chief Roland. Lefebvre ordered an evacuation from the southwest sea.

The battle in the southwest sea that lasted for 15 days ended. The Falcon Fleet used incredible decoy tactics to severely damage the Congolese Navy fleet, which was famous in the Obarro continent. At the cost of 21 battleships, it destroyed a total of 179 warships of the Congolese Navy. , captured nine ships, and captured the heavily garrisoned port of Adonis in one fell swoop.

The famous naval admiral Gang Fei, Navy Commander-in-Chief Hobro and his three fleet commanders were killed in the battle. This battle was hailed by later generations as a classic example of the "back-to-back naval attack tactic". March 2nd. The footsteps of spring are getting closer and closer. Julius Fort, the head of the Southwest Army who has obtained 40,000 new troops, has completely stabilized the unfavorable situation. The crisis in the Southwest finally shows signs of thawing with the arrival of spring.

"It seems that unfortunately you were right. Just after the crisis in the Southwest has passed, I received an order to return to Beijing to report on my duties!" In the new building of the Navy, the head of the Southwest Army, Julius Ford, who has almost half of his white hair. Bao, with a depressed smile on his face, he smiled at the somewhat astonished fat man.

"How come it's so fast! I'm transferring you now. Isn't it typical of me to send someone to take credit?" The fat man stood up angrily and hit the table hard with his right fist. The Falcon Navy has just completed its control of the southwest sea area. If its main backer, Fort Julius Ford, is transferred like this, it will have a great impact on the Falcon Army's operations in the southwest.

"Indeed, even I was surprised!" Julius Fu sat down opposite the fat man and said, "Maybe the Slavs were too violent, and I don't know where an unknown military commander came from. It is said that he defeated the faction in succession. The two legions His Majesty was afraid of sending have now established a foothold in the northern part of the empire! "

"Let's put it this way. This time the country is in dire straits and I have to transfer you back!"

The fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent so much effort on Julius Fort, even though it was already a marriage. But political friendship has its limits after all. Once the Gallic Emperor really wants to reuse Julius Fort, who can guarantee that the Gallic Empire general’s heart will not waver?

"This is the most troublesome part!" Julius Fordburg shook his head with no joy on his face. "Fighting the Slavs. An army is definitely needed, but my Fifth Army is in the northwest. It is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to do so." I was allowed to lead the Fifth Army back to the capital. The other troops fighting against the Slavs were either private armies of various forces or generals related to the Alger family. His Majesty the Emperor put me above these people, which was basically putting me in a bad position. Put it on the fire and bake it!”

"Then you want to go back?" The fat man looked stunned. This is too shameless.

"The southwest will not be my place after all. If I don't go back, I will die at the hands of the Gangfei people. If I go back, there is at least some hope!" Julius Fort said with a sad smile on his face. "The empire just sent 3 soldiers to the southwest. The commander of the Ten Thousand Reinforcements Army is Murphy O'Brien of the Murphy family. He is the most distinguished person in the Gallic Empire recently. It is said that he once defeated China and Belgium in Seattle. The sub-famous general Long Yang, if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't suddenly transferred him back, or the Battle of Seattle wouldn't have been so disastrous. The 30,000 people he brought with him were all the Dragon Armor Army of the Murphy family, and they would also succeed me. There are rumors that the person in charge of the Southwest District is going to use him to reorganize the Southwest Army. To reorganize the Southwest, it will inevitably touch the Northwest, so you must be careful! "

Julius Fort's voice stopped and continued, "I should still have half a month. According to the agreement, you immediately take away the naval supplies, as well as the two cities on the agreement."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible!" The fat man took a deep breath. He was also thinking about the two cities in the agreement. He was too busy some time ago. Although some border disputes were provoked, it was not the final moment to take action. , some things must be done naturally. If you really kill someone and see blood, things will become very troublesome.

Therefore, the fat man did not take Lidakus's responsibility seriously. At most, he would occasionally run over to harass and scare him from time to time, and then run back.

Doing some things too much will make people numb. This is what Fatty planned. Fatty wanted to engage in peaceful evolution instead of bloody massacre. At the beginning, it really caused a lot of panic in the two cities. Seeing so many people from the northwest The army came in a mighty manner, with swords and spears like a forest, and the army pressed on the city. It was so powerful that it would blow the two cities away.

"The Northwest Army invaded on a large scale, and Lord Fuburg immediately came to rescue." The garrison officers in the two cities were completely frightened to death. In just three days, they wrote more than a dozen letters asking for help to Julius Fuburg, knowing that the entire Julius Fort, who planned the project, sent people over to see the results as a token As if there is a tacit understanding, as long as someone from the southwest army comes, the northwest army will immediately withdraw without a trace. After doing this back and forth several times, the two cities have become accustomed to it, and sometimes many citizens will even run to the city wall. Go up, grab some snacks, and chirp to watch the fun.

"That's the rumored Northwest Falcon Army that defeated the 100,000-strong Southwest Army. It's really spectacular!" The citizens experienced several major fluctuations and panics. After discovering that the Northwest Army had no ill intentions, they now faced the Northwest Army's The army's move to suppress the city was completely ridiculing. Even though the city hall reminded citizens many times to pay more attention, no one took it seriously. What a joke. If the other party wanted to attack the city, they would have captured it in one fell swoop.

Although no one knew why the Northwest Army was crazy to move outside the city, no one believed that the patrols in the city, which were not even armored, could really stop such a powerful army from entering the city?

This is an army, an army that has truly experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield. Look at the sharp eyes of those soldiers that make people's blood run cold. and armor with spots on their bodies. No one would doubt that the Northwest Army outside the city is a group of new recruits. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles. Otherwise, how could there be such an aura that can make ordinary people tremble just by looking at it? , some old officers in the city have red eyes every time they look at the Northwest Army outside the city. It's really terrifying, this is the majestic army that dominates the earth!

Compared with knowledgeable veterans, they can do so without any danger. It is really rare for ordinary people to see such a majestic military posture and a truly bloody battlefield at such a close distance. Moreover, I heard that the leader of this northwest army is none other than the small town of Luwang. Akka withstood the 100,000 southwestern army for fourteen days. Lidakus, the famous northwest general known as the "Iron Wall", after the first battle in the northwest, the name of Lidakus has spread throughout the southwest. Titles such as Iron Wall, Eternal Light, Defense Master, etc. also come one after another.

Rumor has it that this famous northwest general is 2 meters tall and as strong as a bison. It is said that during a city defense battle in Rwangaka, the city gate was about to be knocked open by the heavy wooden mine vehicle of the Southwest Army. This is what happened. A famous northwest general used his back to hold up the crumbling city gate with his own strength, so that the Southwest Army's heavy wooden mine chariot could no longer shake the city gate. It is said that at that time Even the former Southwest Commander-in-Chief was so angry that he fell off his horse. Regarding these rumors that sounded so inhuman, Lidakus, who was only 1.75 meters tall and weighed less than 120 kilograms, was a bit dumbfounded. While becoming famous in one battle, He also became the object of ridicule by Hu Keqili and Statunko, his two most damaging friends. It turned out that the taste of a famous general was not that good.

"Sir Lidakus, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Are you interested in going for a walk on the border?" The fat man, who was a little drunk, looked at him with a pair of glowing eyes. Lidakus was heartbroken. He had not seen him in such a state for a long time. Your Majesty the Falcon, the last time I saw him, it was when Fatty was the Duke of Samour.

"Subordinate..." Lidakus was so frightened that he couldn't even speak fully. The fat man waved his hand and smiled drunkenly. "

"Don't worry, it's nothing. It feels good to be a famous general, right?" The fat man giggled, his eyes as bright as light bulbs, and Lidakus's heart dropped to freezing point.

"You are now the spokesperson for my northwest coast. In the entire southwest, there are many more people who know you, Lidakus, than I, a barbarian from the northwest. I wonder if this is putting the cart before the horse!"

"Your Majesty, I really don't have such an idea!" Lidakus was completely frightened by the fat man's half-truths and half-false words. He knelt down on the ground and held his head full of people. It was so scary. He What I'm afraid of is not the words, but the fat man's current state.

"Damn it, Your Majesty is drunk, and none of these bastards told me!" Lidakus even wanted to die. The drunk fat man has always had a habit of claiming to be inhuman, and he likes to go crazy when he is drunk. , the wine quality is very bad, keep talking about it The mantra around him is "Don't be afraid, I'm usually not drunk. The drunk one is not a human being!" Under normal circumstances, as long as the favorites see the fat man's small bean eyes start to turn red and look stupid after a few glasses of wine, If you pretend to be stupid, you are basically right.

Your Majesty was drunk. Even a fierce general like Hu Keqili was in disarray. The fat man turned around several times in front of Lidakus, who was shivering like a chicken, and visually inspected Lidakus. With my small body, I can't reach the 2 meters height I require.

"I wonder if people can be stretched like bread! I heard that there is a saw that can stretch a person by pulling the head and feet at the same time. It is said that someone once stretched 30 centimeters, which is probably about the same." Fatty His eyes are red and his mouth is filled with drunken words,

"Saw! 30 centimeters..."

Lidakus has fainted from fright. Well, he is actually pretending to be dead. The best way to encounter His Majesty Falcon going drunk and crazy is to pretend to be dead! This was earned by the imperial ministers' bloody experience. Seeing Lidakus fainting so spinelessly, the fat man regretfully revised his plan.

Since you can't "win by appearance", you might as well "judge heart by name", so a title appointed by His Majesty the Falcon fell on Lidacus' head, "Lidakus the City Slaughterer!"

Lidakus, who has always been a good man, was given a name that sounded murderous and unforgivable.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Sure enough, when they heard that the leader of the northwest army on the opposite side was the famous northwest general "City Slaughterer" Lidakus, who was in his prime, the two cities immediately did not dare to make any more changes (to be continued, please search Gone with the Wind) Astronomy and novels are better and updated faster!
