Realm of Power

The news that the Central European Barrow coalition forces were about to evacuate had already spread throughout the military camp when the meeting adjourned in the middle of the night.

"Is it true? We are going back!"

"Long live this, this is the wisest decision His Majesty the King has made in his life!" The coalition troops cheered thunderously, and they were very happy. They can finally go back.

The Sino-European Barro Allied Forces set up camp in the windy and snowy night. The soldiers prepared as quickly as possible and lined up to go out. Their excited faces were illuminated red by the torches. The cheers from many camps made people laugh. The nearby Rila camp seemed even more chilly.

In the dark night, the snow fell on the shoulders and made a rustling sound. Except for a few sentries, the other Rila soldiers came out. They were very happy for a while when they heard that the coalition forces were about to evacuate, but then the Rila soldiers came out. The news that has not been withdrawn is like an eggplant beaten by frost. It suddenly loses its energy. Although it claims to be a descendant of a hero, it has been since childhood. The character of patience was instilled, but a dejected expression was inevitably written on the face of every soldier. Many people stood on the wooden fence covered with snow, watching the other soldiers evacuate with longing eyes. The torch illuminated most of the sky, and the long torch snaked like a long dragon, filling the end of the vast white night. ⊙

At the same time, the horse's hooves kicked up the flying snow on the ground. A Feishan Qingqi scout ignored the severe cold of more than ten degrees below zero in Bavaria winter nights, carried the wind and snow in the dark night, and galloped in for more than 20 miles in one breath. The rock castle where the legion headquarters is located, the area of ​​the rock castle is not The large, iron gate was hurriedly raised, and there was a moat outside, which was only a hundred meters long and wide. It was completely made of solid rock. In the dark night, there was a blue-black color. The town below the fortress, It has already been covered with densely packed Feishan army camps, and it can be seen from a distance. Like a huge bat with outstretched wings,

If this small stone castle were placed on the inland plains, it would at most be the home of a noble of a middle kingdom. However, in the desolate Bavaria region, this small stone castle built on the traversing mountains is of extraordinary significance, because Looking down from this castle, it is like a pair of huge eyes, overlooking the entire Bavaria region. The defensive wall extending from this castle stretches for more than thirty miles. Like a huge arm dividing this wilderness land into two, this is the famous Mataige Defense Line.

The small stone castle is located at an important node of this defense line. Because of the existence of this defense line, there has been no war in the western frontier of the Feishan Kingdom for decades. Stationed here is the Feishan Kingdom's Sixth Army, as the Central European Barrow Alliance Army. The main opponent on the front, a fully-equipped infantry regiment with 60,000 men, can be ranked among the main regiments of Fei Shan's army. In fact, in the initial military plan, what was placed here was a temporarily deployed miscellaneous army from the Feishan Kingdom.

"A bunch of idiots, there is absolutely no need to use the empire's most elite troops!" Fei Shan's combat staff from the Ministry of Military Affairs submitted the plan. Requesting that the limited main force of the kingdom be transferred to the Falcon Emperor's front, Feishan's Ministry of Military Affairs believes that there are only two countries in the Central European Barrow countries that can really fight. One is Rila, which is like the gateway to the Central European Barrow. In a fierce battle that has lasted for hundreds of years. He has developed a style of being able to endure and fight well, especially this generation of Rilla King Owitt, who is definitely a hero of his generation, if he hadn't encountered his fateful nemesis, the Falcon Empire. If the Hungarian cavalry had not destroyed the country's vitality, Rila would definitely be the country most likely to establish the foundation of the empire in the Barro region of Central Europe in the past century.

"The other one is the Hungarians who almost swept through Barro in Central Europe. They have long bows and fast horses. They are tough and good at fighting. Apart from their lack of discipline, every Hungarian man is a natural warrior. If this country were not conquered by me, Feishan captured Bava first In the natural chasm of Lide, whether Fei Shan can still exist is a question. "Although they are enemies, the staff of Fei Shan's military affairs department still expressed their appreciation for the Ruila and the Hungarians, but when it comes to other things The country is in another tone.

"Countries such as Silas, Wall, and Lucasu are too weak to fight, and they have always been on the sidelines. It is impossible for them to assist the Falcon Emperor in fighting to the death. This time the Kingdom of Rilla The number of troops sent was only 5,000, and the 10,000 Huns were The cavalry in the Bavaria area is restricted and unfavorable. If these factors are eliminated, such a coalition will have almost no pressure on Feishan. There is absolutely no need to put a main army that is good at attacking here. A miscellaneous army is already I think highly of them!"

Holding this plan of the Ministry of Military Affairs, King Feishan smiled nonchalantly and said jokingly, "Even if it's some little miscellaneous fish, we still need to be very careful. Let's arrange the Sixth Army. I need A sharp sword that can pierce the throat of the kingdom's enemies at critical moments! "

King Feishan modified the plan based on his boss ability. On the one hand, he placed high hopes on the Sixth Army. On the other hand, he also placed a cavalry regiment of the kingdom behind the Sixth Army seemingly inadvertently. This change by His Majesty the King , which made the entire Feishan Military Affairs Department suddenly understand.

"What does your Majesty want to do?"

"The Sixth Army has been called a sharp sword by His Majesty the King. Could it be that His Majesty the King is placing the focus of the entire war on the Sixth Army?"

"It is a very effective tactic to use the enemy's weak point as a breakthrough point, but using the Central European Barrow countries as a breakthrough point will really have little impact on the Falcon Army!" The staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs also had their own difficulties. The land of Luo Lianjun Duan is located on the flank of the main force of the Imperial Army. From a strategic position, if it can defeat the Central European Barrow coalition, it can condescendingly surround the Falcon Emperor Army. However, the commander of the Falcon Emperor Army is a mature man. guy,

It seems that the weak Central European Barro Allied Forces are placed on the flanks, but on the other side of the Central European Barro Allied Forces are the sharp scimitars of 100,000 prairie cavalry deployed. If Fei Shan's army had followed When the defense line of the Central European Barrow coalition breaks through, the hooves of a hundred thousand grassland cavalry will immediately trample Feishan's army into pieces. Could it be that His Majesty the King can't see such an obvious trap? The staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs are not so bold to speak out. If anyone speaks out, wouldn't it be tantamount to saying that His Majesty the King is too old and comatose to see the situation clearly? This is asking for death on your own, so don’t drag others to die with you, okay?

Since it is arranged by His Majesty, let’s arrange it this way! There are not many fools who can enter the Ministry of Military Affairs. Anyway, according to the combat power of the Sixth Army, it is more than enough to defend the small stone fort. Moreover, the commander of the Sixth Army, Kirun Tal, is a very courageous member of Feishan's army. The troops under his command They have always been border guards stationed on the Eastern Front. It has excellent combat power and priority in supplying weapons and equipment. It can be regarded as one of the few troops in Feishan that has actually been on the bloody battlefield in the past ten years. When the Istan people invaded the Eastern Province, the Sixth Army gave them a head-on attack and defeated the Istan people. The Stan army's offensive was delayed for half a month. Although it was eventually forced to evacuate due to the needs of the war, in that case, no one had a better choice!

Since the sky started to snow, Feishan's Sixth Army issued an order to prepare for the battle. Scout Fei Shan jumped off the horse in a snowy outfit. Someone immediately took the horse and handed him a cup of hot ale. The scout took the ale without ceremony and drank a few sips. He took out a report from a close place. Handed to an officer, "Report it. The Central European Barrow coalition has begun to evacuate, and we also found that the prairie cavalry is also packing up the camp. It seems that there are signs of wanting to evacuate."

The scout's voice paused, and it seemed that the hot wine he just drank had an effect. Her voice gained a little more strength, and she wiped Dong Leng's red face with both hands, feeling relieved.

The officer smiled and said, "It's no wonder that it is like this. It snows heavily. The ground is harder than iron. Not to mention the withered grass, even the grass seeds cannot be eaten. There are hundreds of thousands of horses on the prairie. The amount of fodder they eat every day is The numbers are astronomical. How can we stay here? Just watch. If we don’t retreat to the back, these horses will starve to death in less than a week!”

"Yes, you are still very knowledgeable!" The soldiers nearby all laughed.

"Is this the movement of the China-Europe Barrow Alliance? Give it to me!" A middle-aged man like General Fei Shan heard the voice and walked out of the inner fort at the center of the stone castle. Hearing the officer's words, his stern face A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, he was really moving. The Barrow countries in Central Europe have nothing to fear at all. What they really need to pay attention to is actually the empire's 100,000 steppe cavalry. These steppe cavalry are just worms in the Bavaria region, but once they cross this barrier, they will be full of vigor and vitality. Zongheng cavalry,

"General! This is the latest report." The officer holding the document in his hand quickly stood up and saluted. He handed over the report with an excited look that still had the warmth in the scout's chest. The person who came was none other than Ji, the commander of the Kingdom's Sixth Army. Renthal, the direct commander of this defensive zone,

"The latest one!" Kilenthal opened the report and glanced over it. His eyes under his thick eyebrows suddenly lit up horribly. He took a deep breath before closing the report in his hand.

"Report this situation to the base camp immediately! Order all combat regiments, from generals to soldiers, to sleep in armor and clothes."

"Yes, I understand!" The officer received the report with an excited expression. He couldn't help but think of various speculations about the Sixth Army Corps being transferred here. His Majesty's personal order made many people feel in some way. At this moment, it feels like the Sixth Legion will act as a frontline assault force to launch a counterattack against the Falcon Emperor.

It’s just that everyone in the Ministry of Military Affairs doesn’t agree with this idea. How to fight back? One hundred thousand prairie cavalry are pressing down on you, who dares to fight back! Although the cavalry is very unfavorable in winter combat in Bavaria. The frozen land can easily cause the horses to slip, but if the opponent is in a defensive position, that is another matter. No matter how unbearable the Central European Barro Allied Forces are, then There are also tens of thousands of soldiers. This is not a battle that can be resolved in just one or two hours. Once a large number of prairie cavalry are mobilized to rush to the rescue, the possibility of being attacked from both sides is 100%. Under the hooves of the prairie cavalry, the infantry will be reduced to the target of massacre.

But in the Sixth Army, everyone still hopes to be given such an opportunity. As a soldier, he can be tenacious on the battlefield, take the lead in such a national destiny battle, and overcome obstacles for the army. Thinking about it makes people feel excited and feel that this life Not false,

It's just that this idea is good. As the war continues to drag on, the blood in my heart has cooled down a lot. I just need to defend my position. But at this moment, it seems that this impossibility has suddenly become possible! It's all because of this snow,

The Barrow countries in Central Europe withdrew, and the prairie cavalry withdrew. What was left alone were the hundreds of thousands of Falcon Empire infantry. It would also become more difficult because of the severe cold weather caused by heavy snow. Although the Falcon Army was good at fighting, it was under full pressure. Troubled by the cold, facing nearly three times the number of enemies, they could only be defeated. Come on, let this snow get bigger and turn into a blizzard! "The officer pressed the report against his hot chest again, mounted his horse and galloped out of the small stone fort, heading towards the rear base camp. There was a roaring wind and snow behind him.

The emperor's situation is worrying, this has become something that everyone can see

Day five. With the withdrawal of the Central European Barrow coalition, the Eastern and Western cavalry of the Falcon Emperor's army also began to withdraw from the battlefield. Their eyes swept over the three-star crescent moon flag of the prairie people slowly receding in the distance. En's hand holding the riding crop couldn't help but tighten, and his eyes swept across the snow-white land in front of him. He couldn't figure out why the situation of the war turned into this just because of a snowstorm. It was originally three hundred thousand pairs. Good situation for three hundred thousand. All of a sudden it became 140,000 versus 300,000. The huge disparity in troops and the increasing logistical difficulties seemed to converge into one voice: withdraw! But without His Majesty's order, who would dare to make the decision to evacuate in such a huge battle!

"Or there is someone who can"

Varisien's eyes were looking for something not far away, Bonnie Bertrand, His Majesty the Emperor's favorite disciple and lover, and the commander of the Northern Legion of the Empire. Although her titles may seem inferior to her own, as the commander of the army and the governor of the region, in fact, this woman basically has the final say on all matters in the northern part of Gangfei. A veritable uncrowned governor, and the favor of His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he is listed among the princesses with rich backgrounds, he will definitely be ranked among the powerful ones.

We are all grasshoppers on a rope. At this time, perhaps the only person who dares to issue such an order is this bold female knight. Unfortunately, Varisien strained his eyes and searched among the generals attending the meeting for a while, but he didn't see the female knight.

Representing the Northern Army of Congo at the meeting was Deputy Army Commander Reposti. This fox-like guy with the reputation of a wise general looked surprisingly calm at the moment. He was holding a cup of hot water in his hand and blowing a glass of water leisurely. gas, It seemed that he was not sitting in the military tent where the army was gathered, but leaning against the window of the pastoral house and admiring the waves of wheat in the fields. He was very leisurely and at ease. When he saw himself looking at him, he even smiled at himself. What time had it been? , and still laugh out loud! This woman is a freak, causing the generals below to also have signs of freaks. You, Reposti, are a famous general in the mainland. After many life-and-death battles, don't you know how to persuade your superiors? , asking her to say a word for so many people? What's wrong with learning? Just imitate this Wen Zou Zou's way of drinking tea. Why don't you drink it to death!

With a deep sigh, Varisien, who hated iron, turned his attention and began to discuss new troop deployments. This time, King Owit of Rilla also participated, sitting in the left column, and Hungary's left leader Mei Gan Luo consciously sat in the right column, Owitt looked at Megan Luo's Her eyes were filled with blood. Megan Luo simply ignored the Rilla people and stared directly at the top of the big tent. It seemed that there was a peerless beauty dancing somewhere. Looking at these two people, the corner of Varisien's mouth was filled with emotion. I couldn't help but take a quick glance, what kind of situation is this?

The frightened imperial army of 100,000 people is also paired with a pair of life-and-death enemies. I really doubt that if it were not forced by the situation, the soldiers of the two countries would fight first.

The main force of Fei Shan's army with 300,000 people on the opposite side may pull out the butcher's knife at any time. How to fight this battle! The meeting was very boring. Now it was basically the way to shrink the front. Varisien had no good way. He could only ask the troops to give up the left wing that originally belonged to the coalition and thicken the current imperial defense line. . . . . . . There was a break in the middle of the meeting, and Varisien couldn't help but pull Riposti aside.

Looking at Reposti who still looked like an old god, Varisien finally got angry, "Brother, what are your plans? Do you really want to leave the Congo Northern Army that was finally formed here? Don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth. You and I both know very well that Fei Shan's army is ready to go. Now it's just waiting for the prairie cavalry to settle down. If they come down, they will launch an attack on us. My Gang Fei Southern Army is stationed in an area close to the rear. At best, they can withdraw to the city behind and hold on. I believe Fei Shan’s army will not have the intention to fight all the way to the end. You Gang Fei The northern army is different. On the flank where problems are most likely to occur, Fei Shan's army will definitely use you as the focus of a pincer attack! "

"Don't say brother didn't warn you!"

Varisien's tone worsened, he looked around, and then whispered, "I know that you guys want to seize the opportunity to start the Northern Congo Army, but in the current situation, every step may be a tightrope walk, and we have to retreat when we need to." Withdraw, anyway, you have a great reputation, and in this dangerous situation, even His Majesty may not punish her!"

"Can I take it that this is Lord Varisien's consent to our army's early evacuation?" Reposty rolled his eyes and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"I never said that! I'm just kindly reminding you that you need to pay attention to your situation!" Varisien said with a straight face. Who dares to admit such a thing!

"Miss Berlant has left the military camp for two days. The commander of the regiment is not here, and there is nothing I can do!" Riposti sighed and finally said something human.

"Miss Berlant is not in the military camp!" Varisien's face suddenly changed. This woman is crazy. A war is imminent, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are hanging on her neck. She dares to disappear!

"The young lady went to the camp of the Third Banner Regiment of the Guards, and then the Third Banner Regiment soon sent someone to tell them that the young lady would not be coming back for the time being, so we should pay attention to ourselves!" Riposti's face was a little unnatural, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. As if he wanted to laugh but was holding back, he glanced at the depressed Varisien and said, "Do you know who sent the message?"

"The Third Flag Regiment of the Guards... Don't tell me it's Captain Kenneth!" Varisien blinked and replied.

"How do you know!" Reposti looked stunned.

"It's really Kenneth!" But the person who was more surprised than him was Varisien. He just said it casually. For people with their status among thousands of people, none of them are simple and engaged in politics. It may not be useful, but a good soldier is innately sensitive to changes in things. Kenneth, the leader of the Third Banner of the Guards, did not come to the meeting, and Reposti couldn't help feeling disgusted. After being cheesy for a while, I casually said it was Kenneth. Who would have thought that she was right? Bertrand Bonnie went to the Third Banner Regiment of the Guards. Kenneth, the leader of the Third Banner, personally went to the Northern Congo Army to convey the message. Ma, the information contained here made Varisien's heart suddenly tangle. Could it be that His Majesty has joined the Third Banner of the Guards? Otherwise, the arrogance of the Imperial Guards would be impossible for ordinary people to command.

Now he finally knew why Riposti had such a confident attitude. His Majesty was here, why was he still worried here? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
