Main text 2093 The Empire Strikes Back (VIII)

Surrounded by several imperial guards, Reposti walked onto the city road full of people. His black armor rustled, and against the firelight in the night, it flashed a dark and obscure luster. He walked quickly and spontaneously. There was an intimidating general aura exuding,

The city road was filled with exhausted Rila soldiers. When they saw him, they all moved out of the way in front of him. Some Rila soldiers even put their hands on their chests and saluted the general who might have been their biggest enemy a few months ago. Inside Full of the most respectful sincerity, they are all dying people, no There was no need to deceive at all. During this period of time together, these Rila border troops also knew that the emperor in charge of the flank was the powerful army that killed 100,000 coalition forces in the Great Lakes area of ​​​​Gangfei with inferior forces. That army The commander is Reposti, one of the famous wings of the empire.

The opponent is not only a famous general who is really killing people! He also saved the backbone of Rila's southern front. When Rila's frontier army was defeated and tens of thousands of people retreated in despair, he took charge and stabilized the situation. Continuous material support is coming, armor, weapons, arrow clusters They were transported in large quantities, and the remnant army of 30,000 Ruila people who had lost their souls was stunned to rekindle their will to fight to the death. The uniquely designed fire trench they proposed saved tens of thousands of Ruila people who were destined to die in one fell swoop. Ruila could not repay this kindness, "My lord...can you do me a favor?"

A Rila soldier whispered with a tremor in his voice as Riposti walked by. The soldier's voice was very soft, either because he was timid or because he was too embarrassed to say it.

Reposti stopped and looked at the soldier, "What's the matter?"

The soldier's face turned slightly pale and he took out a nameplate from his arms and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive my presumption. My name is Yakir. I come from Dikkel City in the northwest of Rila. When your army retreats, you can take my army with you." Do you want to take the nameplate back? I have no request, I just hope that the family can know that their son is not a coward, and their son’s soul remains in this land!”

"Okay." Riposti hesitated, nodded, and took the nameplate made of the most common white iron from the soldier's hand, with the soldier's name engraved on it.

"Thank you." Because of this move, the Rela soldier's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. If he could express it, he could even kiss the opponent's boots. Reposti glanced around, just like this ordinary soldier, he saw the surroundings There are more people with such desire in their eyes,

If these people stick to it. Tomorrow, these people may all die, but there is no fear of death on the faces of these ordinary soldiers. They now look tired, thin, and even a little wobbly when they stand up, but when the trumpet blows. They will transform into the most terrifying warriors, using their own flesh and blood to form the most difficult-to-surmount defense line on Ruila's southern front, and they will hold on to the last one. Until their blood floods the city here, it is the soul of the soldiers and the soul of the nation.

Reposti looked around with a hint of complexity in his eyes, raised the nameplate in his hand, and said loudly, "Is there anyone else you want me to take back? I am honored to be able to send so many warrior souls back home." , this is really no reason to refuse.”

The surrounding Ruila soldiers surged up, and more people took off their nameplates without hesitation and handed them to him. Everyone who put down their nameplates gave him a military salute. For these Ruila soldiers, They say that death is not terrible, but they don’t want to die quietly either. They are soldiers and ordinary people. If death is their destination, they hope to die vigorously, send their nameplates back, and tell their families that they died on the southern front and fought with the Huns. During the battle, they did not escape. They were not cowards and had no regrets.

Unknowingly, Riposti felt that the nameplate in his hand had begun to press heavily. He could not calculate how many there were. A white iron sheet was just one soul. Ruila was resistant to fighting. With force, unless he killed them all, it would be very difficult. It is difficult to conquer. Such a nation is not suitable for military conquest! His Majesty's judgment was that fighting for victory would win the gratitude of this nation more than conquering by force. In the end, after hearing the news, Boatho rushed over and rescued Reposti from the dense and crowded crowd.

Asking his subordinates to disperse the soldiers, Boaso took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile, letting your Excellency see the joke! Before the war, something like this happened! It's really..." He already knew clearly what happened from the adjutant. The soldier's nameplate was white, the cheapest white iron. The officer's nameplate was also white, but it was silver. In the nameplate in Reposti's hand, , a dozen white and silver nameplates are so dazzling, and there are hundreds of other soldiers' nameplates. Such a number in hand, that's the weight of Ruila's military spirit!

"It's nothing!" Riposti smiled and handed the nameplate in his hand to the adjutant behind him. "After all, I am not the commander of the Rila Army. I did such an act without authorization. I am the one who should express my shame. Still. Please don't mind!"

"The Hungarian army is pressing down on the city. I was lucky enough to take advantage of it today. It's already very rare. Tomorrow the Hungarians will definitely attack with all their strength. If you don't leave, do you want to stay and die with me?" Boaso said with his back. He raised his hands, looked into the distance, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice

"I am fighting for the country, and it is my duty as a soldier to stay here. There is really no need for you to die with a bad old man like me!"

Boaso's old and tired face sighed, cheering up the spirit that was about to collapse, and straightened his waist. The night was like the wind, sweeping away the chill that had not dissipated during the day, and it made a rustling sound in the gaps in the city wall, carrying with it A slight chill, a bit of coldness, and the tangy smell of blood are swirling in the wind and blowing into the nose. This is a battlefield where death is inevitable.

It was a mistake to fight in a location that was unfavorable for defense in Fegui. It was his own persistence that led to such an unfavorable situation! Tomorrow, the Hungarians will not be able to block the all-out attack. The Hungarians will use this place as a breakthrough point. As long as Fegey is captured, the 60,000 imperial troops on the outer wings will be rootless trees and will be trapped at any time. the danger of destruction,

Even he could see it, how could such a famous general like Reposti, one of the two wings of the empire, not be able to see it. You can't defend even if you insist on it. The other party coming here at this time should think that tonight is the last moment to evacuate. If you don't leave, there will be no chance to leave again.

If the emperor can withdraw, can the Ruila army also withdraw? Boaso grinned helplessly. Rilla's main force was pressed on the northern front, trying its best to resist the oppression of the Hungarian Spanish army. It was no longer able to send reinforcements south. If the southern front collapses again, the Hungarian army will flood the hinterland of Rila like a tide, and there will be no suspense about Rila's demise.

"What's more..."

His eyes looked towards the fire ditch in the distance, and landed on the huge pile of corpses illuminated in front of the fire ditch. There was a look of lonely eyes and a sad look. What should come must come. This is Ruila's war. We can't let others follow our path into darkness! Do you think so? His gaze was like a silent inquiry, as if he was talking to a group of invisible souls, and no one knew. His family, Boaso, also fell on the southern border and did not have time to evacuate. He insisted on guarding the border and refused to retreat, more or less with some selfish motives.

Among the driven Rila people. Among the huge piles of corpses that were killed and piled up, there may be his most beloved daughter and grandson. His heart is already dead, and his soul has been lost in this war that is like heaven falling. He is alone, living alone, it is better to die! It was a very stupid method, and it was also the only way to do it. He insisted on carrying him to the outpost of Feigei to death because he hoped to see his loved ones for the last time before he died, even if they were raising eyebrows with each other. The moment I picked up my weapon, I would like to say one final word, your incompetent father and incompetent grandpa have made you suffer!

"I am indeed here to explain the evacuation order!" Reposti looked at the old figure of the Rila veteran, his eyes focused, and sighed, "But it's not that Feigei can't hold it anymore, but because of this battle The war situation has been decided, there is no need to continue to waste troops here! ""It seems that you don't like Ruila either!"

Boaso turned around and his eyes suddenly opened and closed. They were dim but profound. As the elite imperial troops of the coalition that had entered the battlefield in southern Rila, they naturally did not want to be buried with them. It was understandable that the other party wanted to withdraw. Debate The other party is the main force in provoking this battle. In terms of status, they are only supporting. The battle situation is not good. Not evacuating directly has already given yourself a lot of face. "I think your Excellency has misunderstood. When I said that the battle has been decided, I meant that the Hungarians have been defeated!" Riposti looked at Boasso, grinning slightly, "The Hungarians have been defeated?" Boaso was surprised. He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Reposti in surprise. Did he hear it wrong? The Hungarian army will attack the city tomorrow, and Feigei who is blocking the front will be destroyed. But Reposti said that the Hungarian army will be destroyed. What does it mean when a person loses? Did he hear the wrong words because he was too old, or was there something wrong with Riposti's expression? "This is the order given to me by His Majesty the Falcon. You will know after reading it that there is no point in continuing to guard Fegui!"

Riposti took out the order book from his arms, took a deep breath, and handed it to Boaso on the opposite side. There was endless emotion in the words he murmured. It was indeed the method of His Majesty Falcon, and he would definitely kill him if he took action. , Hungary’s eastern and western armies numbered 500,000 people. This This time, I don’t know how many people can return to their hometown. If the empire operates with full force and uses various means, it may not be possible to eat these 500,000 people. The Hungarians with a total population of one million have passed through this place. What is the difference between a defeat and the subjugation of a country! "How is this possible!"

Boaso, the veteran Rilla general with a suspicious face, took the order book from Reposti's hand and glanced at it with extremely disbelief. His eyes suddenly bulged, and the hand holding the order book was trembling. The empire's main force of 300,000 had already Pressed into Hungary with all his strength At the Western Front, this information set off a huge wave in the heart of the veteran Boaso. In an instant, the Rila veteran in military uniform shivered, and the cold went from his spine to the back of his head. What a terrible calculation, it was simply Killer! A bargaining chip to avoid the most important thing directly changed the direction of the entire war, and even determined that the defeat of Hungary's national army was irreversible.

With the main force of 300,000 Falcon Empire, they pressed into the northern line of Rila with all their strength. With the poor combat power of Hungary on the western front, they were crushed without any suspense. With the advantage of the Hungarian eastern army, they were defeated several times. The emperor's inferior troops were defeated, not to mention the incompetent Western Army.

Everyone knows that the most powerful Hungarian army is the Eastern Army. The Eastern Army attacks the southern line of Rila, while the Hungarian Western Army on the northern front is not very powerful. It can even be said that apart from having more people, it has no other characteristics. "We fought a small Wu Duya for more than a month. "The victory or defeat on the southern battlefield of Rila is what really determines how to disrupt the entire Central European Barrow War." Anyone with some military knowledge will think so. The same is true even for Boasso. In everyone's imagination, there is no doubt that if the empire's main force enters the battlefield of Rila, in order to save the danger in southern Rila, it will definitely press into the southern front with all its strength and choose to fight to the death with the Hungarian Eastern Army. In one battle, defeating the Eastern Army will determine the success or failure of the war, or be defeated by the Eastern Army. To achieve the Hungarians’ ambition to rise, at this point, there will be no second option.

But the Falcon Empire's counterattack was enough to make everyone's eyes shattered, and the empire's main force of 300,000 pressed into the Western Front in one fell swoop. What was this concept? The Falcon Empire has fought against Gang Fei several times, but has never used such a large force, or the overall force has this number. But there is absolutely no such concentrated all-out blow. This is completely the difference between fighting with the combat power of a powerful empire and the combat power of a kingdom. It is as shameless as a powerful man picking a child to beat violently, but in terms of tactics, . This is the most correct choice, a blow that no one can imagine

This is the Falcon Empire from the northern hero, the Falcon Emperor, the emperor himself. I couldn't think of it, the military minister of Hungary's Eastern Army couldn't even think of it, and the Hungarian Prime Minister of Hungary's Western Army probably wouldn't even think about it! According to the seamless command of this military god. According to the outstanding combat power shown by the emperor in sweeping through the two empires, with 300,000 main imperial troops, what can Hungary do to stop it on the western front?

I believe that soon, there will be news of the complete collapse of Hungary’s western front.

If you open your eyes again at this time, you will find that the strategy of the Western Hungarian Army collapsing and the Eastern Hungarian Army continuing to advance north and rendezvous becomes meaningless, unless the Eastern Hungarian Army has the courage and courage to fight in the Kingdom of Rila With an army rising alone and without any support from the rear, they had a decisive battle with the main force of the 300,000 emperors who had achieved a great victory and were at their peak in terms of morale and combat power.

Hungary’s Eastern Army Prime Minister Baidulasu was not such a fool! There was no such ignorance. He had taken advantage of the situation, opened up the route without any blood, and invaded Rila in advance before the Western army fought bloody battles. It shocked the entire Central European Barro and showed the most outstanding Hungarian commander in a century. This is also true for his extraordinary ability. The Hungarian military minister naturally knew that the path he took without any bloodshed was actually the weakness that the Eastern Army was most worried about.

The collapse of the Western Front triggered not only the visible war situation, but also the invisible people's hearts, the hearts of the entire Oparo countries. In this battle, the countries may lean towards Hungary or Rila, watching with cold eyes. Withdrawing troops to protect themselves, all the countries are waiting for is the moment when the war situation becomes clear. Seeing Ruila being attacked from the north and the south, watching the two principalities being destroyed without moving, it was nothing more than the idea of ​​fighting for a place at the last moment. This kind of thinking only came to light in Central European Barrow, which had been strangled by the confrontation between the two major forces of the East and the West for a hundred years. It is the most recognized approach,

It won't take long for those who realize that the war situation has clearly tilted and that the Hungarians are unable to recover, the Barrow countries in Central Europe will start to take action.

A stranger like Silas must have begun to inflict insults on the Hungarians and grab the Falcon Empire's thigh, and he would definitely do it without hesitation. Silas's temperament meant that he would guard the southern front for dozens of people. The young Boaso is too familiar. These despicable guys have become accustomed to living like vines. They have no sense of national shame. They have nothing to do with whether they are loyal to the Rila people, the Huns, or the Falcon Empire. It’s just a matter of changing to a flattering master.

Troubled internally and externally, the country is depleted, the army hangs alone outside, and the way back is always in a tightrope-like crisis.

Unless the Eastern Army Prime Minister decisively adopts ruthless measures and immediately returns to the army to use force to control the forces along these routes, as long as there is a problem in one link, the army will be destroyed. However, if force is used to control these forces, the Hungarians will inevitably be The Yadong Army's forces were scattered, and in the end they could not avoid the fate of being defeated by the 300,000 main force of the empire who turned around to kill them.

This is a decisive blow, a decisive blow with no way to save the day. The Falcon Empire's military god emperor waits step by step for the Huns to step into death. This is a complete defeat that is fatal no matter how you look at it, but this defeat is still temporary. It didn't show up, but once it started, it was like a huge earthquake that shook the sky. There was no way to save it, and there was no way to save it. Under such a decisive blow, I still persisted in holding on to Feigei, and I still thought about the end, but there was no trace of concern. , and it has to cost the lives of 30,000 Riela soldiers, which is really ridiculous!

"Your Excellency's frankness is admirable. In this order, His Majesty the Empire has no task for Your Excellency to explain. Your Excellency, this is completely a private leak, and it is still related to the entire overall situation. If you pursue it, , it will be very troublesome!”

Taking a deep breath, Boatho looked solemn, slowly folded the order book in his hand that determined the fate of countless living beings, and handed it back to Reposti gratefully.

"But I still want to ask, if our army withdraws like this, won't we worry about the pursuit of the Hungarian cavalry? After all, we are just infantry. It will take at least three to four hours to get to the river from here, not to mention crossing the river. Time consuming!”

"Your Excellency, you don't need this for the time being, because the Hungarians may pursue them, and they have more urgent things to be busy with! Our army can calmly withdraw across the river and build a second blocking line." Reposti's mouth said mysteriously smiled,

He also received a letter from Jagrins. As two generals who worked closely together on the southern front of the empire, they had to communicate with each other every day.

The Military Affairs Department asked Jagrins to send the letter to the Silas people. Jagrins immediately asked someone to copy a letter and send it back.

Jagrins believed that the Military Affairs Department persuaded the Silas people to cooperate in the rebellion and was ready to pull the Silas people to delay the pace of the Hungarian Eastern Army.

But Reposti, who knew more and was better at planning, believed that the effect of the letter was far more terrible than persuading the rebellion.

The Silas people were cowardly and incompetent. In order to avoid misunderstandings from Hungary, they would definitely hand the letter to the Hungarians. This is the most terrifying part.

If the Hungarians had thought of the Silasians as allies before, after this letter, the Hungarian military minister would pay the most attention to preventing the Silasians from turning against him.

In this case, even if he learned that the Feigei side, who was ready to fight to the death, suddenly chose to evacuate secretly, the Hungarian military minister, who already had doubts in his heart, would have further confirmed his thoughts on the Silasians. The emperor took the risk to lure the enemy. Even if the Silasians did not turn against him, they would probably start to waver. As long as he led the army to chase and kill them, he would cut off their retreat from behind. In this way, he would never dare to mobilize the army to kill them without authorization before the arrangements were made!

It was a pity for the Silasians. They wanted to show their loyalty, but it caused the most incredible gap between them and the Hungarians. (To be continued...)
