Main text 2030 Life and Death National Destiny (VIII)

"According to the reports from our army's forward scouts, the coalition forces should have noticed the news of the defeat on the front line, and very decisively pushed their follow-up troops of about 110,000 people to the border line." In a large military tent with bright sky, a hunter said The chief staff officer of the Eagle Emperor was pointing at the hanging map of the northern border of Congo and Africa, summarizing all the intelligence received recently from all parties.

The adjutant said in a loud voice to the imperial generals in the military tent, ""The front line is the army led by King Rila, with about 50,000 troops, mainly heavy infantry, and the left wing is the 30,000 Hungarian troops, which are mobile. The strength of the archers and cavalry on the right side is only 30,000, but that is the upper reaches of the river. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to a large army. Movement, the three clusters of the coalition forces are in a concave shape, which should be a central luring tactic. They want to take advantage of the fact that our army has not yet concentrated its forces, and use the heavily-armed Rayla as the spearhead to launch a head-on attack on our army, severely damaging our army's attack. line, resulting in key breakthroughs, forcing our army to give up the advantages it had gained, thus dragging the battle into a stalemate. . . . . "

The imperial generals in the military tent had stern expressions on their faces. They occasionally whispered to each other, but they only spoke a few words and then stopped. Everyone's eyes were focused on one person, and that was His Majesty Falcon. Although he could understand the current situation, But the person who really decides the direction of the war is still Your Majesty.

Now the generals have seen that the wilderness in the north of Gangfei was deliberately cleared by His Majesty Falcon in order to prepare a battlefield for this war. Although it was only a vague feeling, the generals also felt the excitement and excitement in their hearts. The Battle of Northern Congo was a century-old battle that truly determined the security of the empire.

Because judging from the current empire's territory, the empire's mainland is already similar to the core area, in the upper half of the empire's vast territory, northwest, southwest, and even the entire Gaul region. All have been wiped out by the empire, and there is no military force enough to threaten the empire. The sporadic resistance of the Gauls has become less and less. Although the remnants of the Gauls are still surviving in the so-called mountain province, a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand people The mountainous basin does not have the strength to compete with the empire at all. It is a blessing to be able to avoid being attacked by the empire. To the north of the long wall in the northern section, the Qianrislav Wilderness has been included in the empire, like a huge strategic barrier. Isolating the empire from possible dangers in the north, even if a tragic war does break out, this land of thousands of miles away is enough to stop the damage of the war. The mainland of the empire only needs to continuously transport soldiers and supplies, and the domestic economy The population and property will not be affected at all.

The only thing that worries the empire is the southern half of the empire

From the southwest region downwards, it passes through almost the entire Congolese and Puntau regions, covering more than 3,000 miles of land and a population of 20 million. The military strength is not as strong as that of the northern section of the empire. Almost all of them are main legions that have been through war for a long time. The total strength of the southern section of the empire is less than 200,000, and they are all newly built legions. The number of new recruits accounts for more than half. In terms of economic foundation, it cannot compare with the northwest and southwest regions that the empire has devoted several years of hard work and spent tens of millions of gold coins to build. The only region that has some economic strength is the Putao region. . It is just a deformed child that relies on maritime trade to develop. If it wants to truly become an economic center and political center that can determine a party. There's still a long way to go,

Compared with the densely populated northern part of the empire, which has densely populated towns like cobwebs, the southern part of the empire is vast and sparsely populated. The population of Gangfei, which has experienced continuous wars and devastation, has dropped sharply from more than 30 million in its heyday to just 2 Ten million. In just a few years, the ten million people in the Congolese region have disappeared, leaving only All those who fell below fled to the south. The once prosperous north was almost a white land. The imperial army marched by during the day. All they saw were bones among the grass and abandoned villages under the setting sun in winter. Even if they occasionally saw a city, there were only broken walls. The wall stretches for several miles, and the extent of the catastrophe suffered by the war is evident.

But in terms of strategy, the generals had to admit that this catastrophe actually created a formidable strategic depth, that is, the vast plains stretching for thousands of miles in the wilderness of northern Congo. More than 100,000 coalition troops walked for more than a month, and they were still in the dark. Without fighting, they only touched the Edgar line in the middle. In other words, for the Central European Barrow people who lacked cavalry, it would take at least one and a half months to cross this plain. What else is there to fight? The morale of the military has been flattened! Not to mention how weak the logistics line supporting these hundreds of thousands of troops is.

On this plain, the Central European Barrow Kingdom, which did not have cavalry as the main force, was at a disadvantage from the beginning. If it did not go forward a hundred miles, the danger would increase by a hundred miles. Once it collapsed, it would be a disaster. The main force of the coalition collapsed and captured nearly 80,000 people. , destroyed the largest offensive force that the coalition could use, reversed the disadvantage strategically, and made all the coalition forces' months of efforts in vain The flow of water is all based on this huge strategic depth. However, after defeating the main force of the coalition forces, His Majesty Falcon did not adopt a large-scale strategy to suppress the border. Instead, he stopped the army's attack line with the Oraros area, which was still two hundred miles away from the border. , just releasing thousands of elite scouts to move the coalition forces back and forth along the border was a bit confusing to the generals.

The army advances rapidly, destroys the obstruction of the coalition forces on the border, and rushes into the coalition territory in one fell swoop. That is called refreshing. What is the point of stopping here? The generals were a little hard to understand, but Berlant Bonnie, who was sitting in the top position on the left, knew that the reason why the army stayed behind was because the war had come to an end.

Grabbing the maximum benefit at the minimum cost has always been the style of the fat man. Fighting is not to kill more people. The focus cannot be limited to one place and one battle, but to look at the entire huge chessboard of Obarro. The coalition forces have been severely damaged. before and after After that, 300,000 troops were deployed in the two wars, and there were more than 100,000 prisoners. After this battle, the coalition no longer had the strength to fight against the empire. In this empty wilderness, the empire had killed all the Central European countries. Rivers of blood flowed, and people were frightened when they heard the news. The fighting made other countries in Central Europe tremble even when they looked here. After this defeat, the coalition forces no longer have the strength to attack the empire. The 110,000 troops on the border have become a hot pot for the coalition forces. With the final strength pieced together, several kings personally went to the front line. If they continued to press, the result would be a dead end!

This battle of national destiny has been won. The battle of national destiny is not a battle of life and death, but a panic about the national destiny bit by bit as time goes by. The so-called national destiny is the advantage gained by the winner through the war. , keeping the national destiny strong for decades, or even hundreds of years. On the other side, because it missed the opportunity to rise, its national destiny was difficult to sustain, and it eventually collapsed until it died and the country was destroyed. However, these should not be shown immediately.

Because in addition to the Falcon Empire in Central Europe, Barrow also has the Istan and Feshan people in the west. The countries in the middle also have countless variables that are difficult to control. It will severely damage the Barrow countries in Central Europe and completely destroy their control. For the empire, This is not necessarily a good thing, the Falcon Empire is an outsider after all. Long-term rule is a problem. Just the occupied areas in Congo and Africa require a lot of effort to suppress and appease, not to mention that now we have to allocate spare efforts to take care of these countries in the middle.

Although the Istan people and Feishan people on the other side looked like they were mortal enemies, the war had been at a semi-standstill since the main force of the coalition forces pushed into the empire. The wait-and-see attitude was clear, and the rise of the Falcon Empire was too great. Be brave and defeat Gaul in the north. In just a few years, the two powerful empires entrenched in the central and northern Obarro were wiped out, and the forces on the east and west sides of the central Obarro confronted each other. It has been the main theme of European Barro for hundreds of years. When the east side is strong, it will coerce the middle section and attack the west side. When the west side is strong, it will push the middle section and attack the east side. The Istan Empire will destroy Gangfei in one fell swoop. There are personal vendettas but also general trends.

But one thing is certain, if the Falcon Empire severely damages the coalition forces at the border. And the army marched westward in a posture of swallowing up the countries in the middle part of Central Europe.

No matter how good the Istan people are on good terms with the empire, or how Feishan has had a century-old feud with the Istan people, the choice of both countries is to cease the war immediately and assemble all the countries and forces they can muster to fight against the expanding and ferocious Falcon Empire! Coupled with the overt and covert pushback from the middle countries, the Falcon Empire has really been dragged into this huge quagmire with no bottom. If he hadn't seen this, the fat guy wouldn't have needed to give up hundreds of miles first. land, assuming a weak posture, and finally defeating the main force of the coalition forces in their own land, they also need to lure the army away, use time to continuously increase the pressure on the coalition forces, and let them sit at the negotiation table and become at their mercy. object!

The situation is now very clear. Fatty is looking for a suitable opportunity to move this war from the cruel battlefield to the negotiation table! But what this opportunity was, Berlant Bonnie didn't know. The beautiful and charming female knight gently pulled her hair in front of her forehead, her eyes were as bright as water. Although she saw the fat man looking attentive, in fact, His fingers have been gently fiddling with a military newspaper, and there is an unknown meaning in his black pupils. The luster is flashing. Generally, this kind of expression indicates that there is a situation that makes Fatty Fatty feel out of control. The army is not moving, like a sharp arrow on the string. The morale of the entire army has been as boiling as boiling water after experiencing the war. It can pierce through the front coalition forces at any time. At this time, what else makes Fatty Fatty feel constrained?

At this time, only the fat man was complaining in his heart. The report in his hand was sent back by the forward scout. In the report, the forward scout mentioned that he had killed a Hungarian general. This was not something that the fat man took seriously. Above, if the coalition general dies, he dies. Anyway, he killed a lot of people, one more and one less. It didn't matter, but the news coming back from the inside of the coalition forces made him a little solemn. It was not the Hungarian general who died, but the Hungarian King Baijieros, and the news that the Hungarian general Yaosun was about to die Rumors have spread back to Hungary that the Hungarians are gathering their forces and preparing to take revenge!

Looking at such a secret report, the fat man was stunned for more than ten seconds. Your mother, you don't play like this. You are here to swallow your anger just to force the coalition forces to the negotiating table. Why did something like this happen in the blink of an eye? , although the forward scouts sent out by me were all the best among the best, they only numbered about a thousand, and the majestic Hung Ya King died like this. This is really beyond my ability to calculate! But the fat man is a murderous bastard after all, and his heart shook slightly before he calmed down. Although the Hungarians are rare and tough among the Barrow countries in Central Europe, what can they do no matter how tough they are?

"We are summoned this time not only to report military information, but also to report something unusual. The coalition forces will soon make unusual moves and may launch an active attack!" The fat man waved his hand and interrupted the explanation of military affairs. The adjutant said with a cold mouth.

"What, the coalition forces are crazy! Do they still have the ability to take the initiative to attack?" The voice of discussion in the military tent suddenly rose at this moment. Berlant Bonnie, who was sitting on the left side, was also stunned for a moment. Could this be The thing that makes Fatty Fatty feel out of control? How could it happen that the coalition forces took the initiative to attack!

"Now I order the army to move out!" The fat man glanced at the generals like lightning and said in a solemn voice, "This time the enemy may be a cavalry group, the number is unknown, but in order to prepare early, each army advanced in a horizontal line. In front of the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thunder gods, I want to see that even though the coalition forces are made of steel, I can kill them to pieces!

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Bastard Hungarians!"

At the coalition base camp, the kings of the coalition were also filled with hatred. The Hungarians were originally a foreign race, and the Barrow countries in Central Europe had always regarded them as invaders. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood that had been killed in Barrow in Central Europe were a hundred years of blood feud. Situations abound. If it weren't for the fact that this time they were jointly dealing with the Falcon Empire, which had excellent cavalry power, the coalition would not have accepted the Hungarians to join.

Well now, the King of Hungary is dead. The Hungarian general Yaosun suddenly turned his back and refused to recognize anyone. He bluntly said that he would devote all his troops to avenge the king. The current population of the Hungarian Kingdom is more than three million people, although slaves account for 90% of the population. Most, but the real number of Hungarians is seven to eight hundred thousand. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, this national revenge can bring out more than 100,000 young and strong Hungarians.

It would be great if they were all cavalry. They might be able to reach the battlefield within a few days. This is what worries the coalition kings. The number of cavalry in the Hungarian Kingdom is only about 40,000. The remaining people can only be infantry. The Huns have always regarded looting other countries as normal. The influx of hundreds of thousands of well-armed Huns would be intolerable to that country. In the minds of the kings of various countries, the scene of the Huns sweeping across the mountains and plains like locusts could already be imagined, and their towns were burning. The castles of the nobles were emptied and the people were displaced. These are the memories of our ancestors a hundred years ago. The palace oil paintings of many countries are based on that disaster. Although these kings did not experience that catastrophe, they have experienced it since they were young. Listening to stories like this, the Huns are the source of disaster. Wherever they go, blood flows like rivers. This is what the older generation sings.

"The catastrophe is just around the corner. The Huns will burn our home and plunder our subjects as slaves. We are still here fighting against the Falcon Empire. It is really stupid. No matter what you do, I will go back. The Hajado Kingdom has withdrawn from the coalition, I hope you all take care of yourself." A middle-aged king stood up with a solemn expression, waved to several other kings, and walked away with an ugly expression.

Yao Sen, who came out of the coalition army, was riding a war horse with a solemn expression. The sky was vast, the strong cold wind was whistling by, snowflakes were falling all over the sky, the fertile black soil plain was also obliterated, and the head was covered with dark clouds, as black as ink. , the road ahead is only dark. There was a slight light on the snow. The accompanying Hungarian cavalry were in the dark snowy night. Walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow. All were wearing leather armor, with long knives at their waists and bows and arrows on their backs. They bent down and galloped. No one was chatting, and orders came from time to time in the darkness: "Follow those in front! Don't fall behind!" Horse hooves trampled on the grass in the snowfield, making a dense stubble sound.

As a general who led the army, Yao Sen just sat in the wilderness and watched the Hungarian King die in battle. Yao Sen knew that he had no way to turn back. If he wanted to survive and let the Yao family continue to inherit, he had to put this chaos behind him. The water is muddy, the first thing is to send the news of King Hungary's death back to the country, and the second thing is to find the Falcon Empire cavalry who attacked and killed the king that night. To this end, he has sent out all the light cavalry under his command, and even himself relative He has led a team, but to no avail, but this is not what he cares about the most, because he has already sensed that a real storm is coming, and the Hungarian Wolf Soul, which has not been revealed for a hundred years, has come to its senses this time and roars. At a time when the Barrow people in Central Europe were trembling, he secretly sent his eldest son back to the country. No matter how much money he spent, he would create a nationwide momentum of revenge in the country after the news of the death of the King of Hungary arrived.

Only in this way can he, Yaosun, have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and even gain a foothold in this chaos of death.

The Hungarians have not had a record of a king dying for sixty or seventy years. According to tradition, whoever can avenge the king will be the next generation of Hungarian kings. And Hungary is not a country that particularly respects blood. The big families in the country must He will seize this opportunity and do his best to put his son on the throne.

In the capital of Hungary, this colorful city famous for its colorful scenery, the blue city was shrouded in the thick winter fog at dawn, and the sound of rushing horse hooves broke the silence of the early morning. At the city gate of the Hungarian capital, which was opened urgently, a group of knights rushed into the open city gate like a whirlwind. The bright red cloaks of the knights fluttered in the wind with the Hungarian wolf fang symbol, and the golden thread on them was shining in the dawn light. Burning bright.

"His Majesty Bai Jie Luo Shi died in battle!, His Majesty Bai Jie Luo Shi died in battle!" The voice of a knight at the head was loud and clear. He was the eldest son of Yao Sen. People on the road gathered around him and wanted to stop him and ask. It was clear, but the galloping horse rushed through the crowd as fast as a gust of wind without stopping, leaving only the back of the frightened Hungarian.

"You know, the king is dead!" The news quickly spread throughout the royal capital like a storm, bringing a wave of excitement and unrest to the entire Hungary. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
