The night wind was very strong, and there was a roaring sound near the emperor's main camp. The strong wind was blowing straight from the dark sky, crossing the earth, and the imperial flag was crackling. The fat man put his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the trace of red on the horizon in the darkness in the distance, the light and shadow shining on it. The edge of the world in the distance is like a red line

"Your Majesty, we have just received a report from Yaglins in the south of Rila! It seems that the Hungarian Eastern Army is no longer willing to wait any longer. The movement to the north should be within this half month! Yaglins requested execution Attack plan!" Imperial Minister Hu Keqili came up from behind and reported respectfully to the fat man,

His eyes inadvertently reached the red line in the distance and stared at it for a moment, then turned away.

That was the direction of the capital of Gangfei. This kind of light was the light of fire! Hu Keqili knew very well that he was one of the few people who knew that Fabgares, the Minister of Military Affairs of Congo, was secretly liaising with the empire. I am afraid that even Congo people themselves would not have thought that after tonight, Congo will no longer exist. Whether it is the actual political power or the people's hearts in Gangfei, the empire has spent so much energy and financial resources in order to completely eradicate every thought in the hearts of the people in Gangfei. The Imperial Guards rebelled. In the chaos, the capital of Gangfei was burned to the ground. When the time comes, the imperial team will coerce the young emperor Gangfei to enter, and legitimately re-establish a power structure of Gangfei that belongs to the empire and obeys the empire. As a result, Gangfei will be demoted from a kingdom to a principality. There has been no threat since then, and seeing the current situation in Gangfei where civil strife is still taking place, even the most loyal people to Gangfei will be shaken from the inside. Completely losing confidence in Gangfei, in this way, the empire ruled and controlled the entire Gangfei region. will truly become the mainstream that resonates with people's hearts

"The military minister's patience has indeed been almost worn out!"

The fat man turned around and smiled slightly, "The empire's heavy troops are restrained in Gangfei, and the entire southern part of Rila is weak. Such a situation is placed in front of him. If he is still unmoved, then he is not worthy of promoting the rise of the entire Hungary." The Prime Minister of the Eastern Army is determined to use all his strength to launch a decisive battle against Rila. If he really thinks so, he will definitely regret it."

The fat man's voice paused. He said in a condensed voice, "Yagelins' request to take the initiative can be granted. Since we have already made a false impression of showing weakness, let's just do it to the end. Only in this way can the Hungarian Eastern Army Prime Minister completely believe that the empire cannot take care of it because it is not restrained." Ruila, only in this way can we force the Huns to advance north as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, if the Eastern Army begins to advance northward with all its strength, can the main force of our army enter the southern part of Rila?"

Hu Keqili raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of excitement at the fat man's words. It seems that they are quite looking forward to the 200,000 Hungarian Eastern Army attacking Rila and moving north. This is a surprising look. If this look falls in the eyes of others, the first feeling is that the prey has taken the bait!

"Don't be anxious, wait a moment! Yagelins's proactive attack and the fire in Gangfei Royal Capital should make the Eastern Army Prime Minister advance northward in advance! The Eastern Army's northward advance will definitely shock the entire Central and European countries. I At that time, the main force of the army can defeat it with an unstoppable attitude, and even roll back towards the Hungarian mainland. This is the best time to show the power of our empire."

The fat man's face was grim. Waving his hands indifferently, "Except for a few people in the empire, not even His Majesty Rilla Owitt knew about this plan. This is a naked force crushing of the Central European Barrow by the empire. If it is exposed prematurely, I'm afraid, It will alert the Istan people on the other side in advance.”

"Yes, I understand!"

Hu Keqili nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of understanding in his eyes. As the military minister of the empire in charge of military affairs, the Barro storm in Central Europe in his eyes was actually another scene. Although Hungary behaved extremely fiercely, in fact, It's simply because of His Majesty's deliberate connivance.

Hungary made a huge mistake when it wanted to compete with its domestic empires in terms of military strength. Hungary had a population of only one million, but the empire had a full 200 million. The population ratio between the two sides was a hundred times different. Hungary fought with the whole country. It is said that all the men in the country who can go to the battlefield participated in this battle, and this is why this An army with no more than 200,000 warriors who dared to fight was divided into two armies, the Eastern and Western armies. Therefore, one can imagine the caution of the Eastern Army Prime Minister. For Hungary, this battle was a national battle. He couldn't afford to lose. If it hadn't been for the empire's deliberate show of weakness, the military minister would never have chosen to march westward at this moment.

In fact, if Hungary's eastern and western armies had not delayed their arrival at Rila for nearly two months as they did now, but had clearly targeted the attack in the direction of Rila from the beginning, the empire might not have had time to complete the current full force. Mobilization, but the Hungarians gave the empire a full two months, which was enough to decide the situation of the war! "

As the imperial minister, Hu Keqili was filled with admiration for His Majesty Falcon's habit of doing his best to repair road traffic every time he occupied a place. It is to add another layer to His Majesty Falcon's insidiousness. Convenient sea transportation lines and land routes not only provide convenience to merchants, but also for an empire with sufficient transportation tools, the extension of the lines is the expansion of the control area. , in two months, even the Murphy Dragoons stationed outside the long wall in the far north were enough to reach northern Congo, and the empire was wreaking havoc everywhere. While the road was being built, tens of thousands of temporary rest stations were built along the way. These stations were not removed. Instead, a separate department was formed to take charge of maintenance. Usually, they were mostly used as caravan cargo stations and letter and postal stations. But when During wartime, they were the army's supply warehouses along the way. When the army set out, caravans followed behind, and supply warehouses extended. The logistical pressure was compressed to the maximum extent.

The northern part of Gangfei is desolate. Tens of thousands of people are thrown into it, but it is just a drop of water in the ocean. Hundreds of thousands of people are buried in it, and it can't make any waves. The Hungarian people's eyes are completely attracted by Rila, and what they see is also Who would have thought that in the seemingly empty wilderness, the real main force of the empire has quietly entered. This force would have been unimaginable if not for those who came into contact with it.

That was the power that the Falcon Empire spent two full months gathering in secret. It is the true strength of the empire to sweep across the two empires, including the seven revised Guards flag regiments transferred from the direction of Dahai City, and the 90,000 prairie cavalry from the east and west courts transferred from the Long Wall area. Seven elite flag regiments transferred from the Gaul region who have experienced the results of the Gallic war,

The Imperial Regiment, with a total strength of nearly 300,000, gradually gathered in the northern region of Congo and Africa in the past two months. It was with such a force that it destroyed the northern overlord Gaul, not to mention that if we include the current The Imperial Central Army and the Southwest Army are revealed on the surface. In fact, the total number of troops prepared by the empire for this battle was not inferior to the so-called Hungarian 500,000 troops on the opposite side. The half-million elite elites of the Empire will be the power that scares the world as the most powerful country in Opalo. It is the empire that is ready to show its deadly edge in the darkness. When the combat power of the Empire, the most powerful country in Opalo, is exposed, any obstacle will come. The enemy in front of it. Everyone will realize how weak and ridiculous they are!

istan emperor base camp

There was a jubilant atmosphere. The officers who were seated kept nodding and smiling at each other, unable to suppress their pride. From time to time, there was the sound of military boots clicking together and saluting. The adjutants would also look at each other and serve strong drinks at the right time. Just when the Hungarians were disrupting Central and Western Europe, and were faintly suppressing the momentum of Rila and the Falcon Empire alliance, the Istan people were attacking Fei Shan. The battle finally achieved a breakthrough in close combat.

The legion led by the Crown Prince of Istan landed from the Feshan coastline and immediately swept across the southern region of Feshan.

The Feishan Navy returned to the rescue in a panic, but was ambushed midway by the Strand Navy, which was also a maritime overlord. More than thirty of the main battleships of the Feishan Navy were sunk or captured. Half of Feishan's navy was wiped out in this battle, and the price paid by Strand's navy was not great. Only a dozen warships were injured.

As one goes, the Strand Navy has completely controlled the Feishan coastline.

Mainly because the Dragon-class battleship given to Fei Shan by the Falcon Empire was too powerful. As soon as the war started, the flagship of Feishan Navy was sunk, causing chaos in Feishan Navy's command. Feishan's Admiral of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet, Duke Bocailan, whose command bridge was caught in Dragon-class gunfire and the bridge collapsed. The Duke was seriously injured. Although he was rescued by his subordinates desperately, he eventually died in the middle of the naval battle and became the commander of Feishan's navy across the sea. The first fleet commander to fall in fifty years

In one fell swoop, Feishan's navy, which was the biggest threat to the Istan Empire, was eliminated. The army also opened up the situation in the stalemate. Naturally, it was indispensable for the officials who praised the crown prince of Istan to praise his virtues. The navy won a great victory! The army also won a great victory! Feishan's navy has lost more than half of its main force. It can be expected that after this battle, Feishan's navy will no longer have the will and ability to fight decisively at sea in a short period of time. The ocean has been allowed to allow Istan's transport fleet to move freely. Feishan's naval hegemony, which once dominated the Istan Empire for half a century and made people breathless, is now a thing of the past!

On land, the crown prince personally launched a two-pronged attack with only 60,000 troops. Within half a month, he captured more than a dozen cities on Feishan's coast, defeated Feishan's army of 25,600, and directed his troops directly at Feishan. strategic pass. The current strategic situation is extremely favorable to the Istan Empire. The Feishan Kingdom is facing enemies from both sides. Because the naval hegemony has fallen into the hands of Istan, the Istan army can mobilize its troops at will, switching between the front and the coast.

Feishan's navy suffered heavy losses, with the loss of battleships being the second most important. The loss of its experienced sailors, forged over half a century, was the most fatal.

Even if it was a temporary recruitment, it would not be able to produce much strength. Without the restraint of the navy, reinforcements from the Istanbul Army began to flow into Feishan from the sea, increasing from more than 300,000 to 50. Wan, with such an advantage, why didn't this crowd of elites from the Istan Empire get so excited that they almost lost their composure?

The officers were looking at their wine glasses and pointing in groups. All look of pride

"Feishan is dead! They are covered in tiger fur, but underneath they are just cowardly cats... As expected, our Istan Empire is the real owner of this land. Isn't the base camp going to make decisions this time? "Come on, do you want to launch a full-scale attack? Everyone, the opportunity to make a difference is right in front of you." An Istani general with a shining general star on his epaulettes and a clanking of swords clashed with each other. Laughing loudly, everyone in the hall laughed loudly.

"Since even Lord Ravi said this, then why should we doubt it?"

"Yes, there is no suspense about defeating Fei Shan. Later, he will eat Central Europe Barrow, and even the Falcon Empire, which is strong on the outside and hard on the inside. It can also be defeated!" When the warm atmosphere in the hall reached its peak, I heard someone standing in the hall. The attendant at the door announced loudly, "Viscount Hilger, the chief minister of the base camp, has arrived!"

All the officers talking, the generals sitting in their seats. When they heard the name, they all stood up with a loud sound, and there was a sound of riding boots clattering against each other. Everyone stood at attention when they heard a brisk voice. A middle-aged man wearing a formal blue military uniform of the Istan Empire, with a gold-threaded bun on his head, and a cheerful face walked in.

"Everyone. No need to be formal!"

Although this middle-aged man is only a viscount, his identity is. It was enough for many marquis and counts among the people present to salute him, because he was the minister-general, not only the minister-general of the base camp, but also the minister-general of the empire. In the Istan Empire, the position of the Imperial Secretary General is equivalent to the emperor's personal adjutant. Although his status is not very high, his power is very powerful.

He waved his hand to everyone and said with a smile, "As the Imperial Minister, on behalf of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to express my appreciation for the glorious results you have achieved along the coastline." The middle-aged man waved his hand. The adjutant behind him quickly unfolded a huge map behind him, on which several huge green arrows were marked from the sea to the land! Everyone's eyes have been attracted to the map. The middle-aged man stood there with a smile and waited for everyone to watch for a while. I heard the buzz of discussion,

He lengthened his voice, "This is our current offensive. You can clearly see that one-third of Feishan's land is already owned by the empire, and I believe it will be at most half a year. The resistance of the Feishan people will be It will be weakened or even collapsed due to the shortage of domestic supplies due to the loss of coastline! "You are a hero of the empire. This is not what I said, it was what His Majesty the Emperor said." The middle-aged man gestured for everyone to sit down. He calmed down and pointed at the map behind him. "The battle against Feishan has reached its climax." At this moment, the opportunity for the final decisive battle that you have been waiting for has been revealed! "

"His Majesty the Emperor said, "The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, and everyone in the hall stood up and straightened their bodies.

"The 3rd and 5th Infantry Regiments of the Istan Empire began to advance north within three days. The 5th Regiment from the front and the 3rd Regiment from the flanks completely eliminated the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Feishan Army, captured Havaya City, and extended the attack line Take the Baijiang Line!”

"The 2nd and 6th Infantry Regiments of the Imperial Army of Istanbul serve as attack reserves. After the attack line reaches Baijiang, they quickly turn to the west and cut off the retreat routes of Feishan's 9th, 11th, and 13th Infantry Regiments. If this happens If the battle is successful, the empire will complete the encirclement of Feishan's second army with a total of 70,000 people, and will open an incision on the side of Feishan's royal capital! The Feishan war is expected to be over within half a year!" the middle-aged man said in one breath! After completing the strategic decision-making at the base camp, he clenched his hands into fists. , looking at the people in the hall with piercing eyes, "Do you all understand? Do you have any questions?"

"Your Excellency, General Minister! Can I take the liberty to ask, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still commanding this battle?" A general from the Istan Empire hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has more urgent matters. I'm afraid I won't be able to direct everyone to continue this battle! Therefore, I will temporarily lead this battle on my behalf." The middle-aged man smiled faintly and showed his strategic advantage in front of these people. It's really a very satisfying thing. As the chief minister of the Emperor of Istanbul, he knew very well that the crown prince was too aggressive in this battle. He seemed to have opened up the situation, but in fact he did not achieve many results. It could even be said that an excellent breakthrough into Feishan's capital was wasted. Opportunity, as for the navy's performance, the affairs of the Strand people at that time had nothing to do with the crown prince, so he was called back and scolded by the emperor to make a bloody mess.

"If there is no doubt, then let the party continue!"

The middle-aged man looked around at the people present, and when he was satisfied, he announced that the banquet would continue, saying, "The detailed battle plan will be sent out soon, so I won't disturb your interest." At this moment, an attendant He walked in from the outside in a hurry, glanced over, saw the middle-aged man, and immediately walked towards him. He was still shouting, "Your Majesty, please report urgently!"

"Ah" with a scream, in front of everyone, the young attendant didn't know whether he was walking too fast or accidentally, but he happened to step on the oblique corner of the carpet step, and his body shivered. Bang, he almost rolled to the ground. Although he managed to stabilize his body, his body knocked over the table next to him, and some of the dishes on it were scattered on the ground.

"What's wrong? What happened? What a panic!"

The middle-aged man looked at the attendant with a cold face, his face was ashen with anger. If he hadn't seen that this person was his nephew, he would have had the urge to kill him. He took the report and kept saying that he had finally created an atmosphere that overwhelmed the whole audience, but it was ruined by this nervous and flustered behavior. How could these arrogant soldiers and brave generals brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so easy to subdue! But when he opened the report, his voice stopped, and he looked at the content of the report again in horror. He took a breath and didn't say anything, but his fingers tightly squeezed the report into a ball.

"30,000 rebels of Rishabachi forced into the range of 50 miles of the capital of Istanbul!" It would be really stupid if you didn't know that Rishabachi's rebellion was a play directed by the Feishan people! (To be continued)
