Realm of Power

603 Big Circle (1)

The abnormally long rainy season has caused some troubles for some refugees who are migrating to the north. They drag their families with them and trek hundreds of miles. On the muddy roads from the south to the north, many of them are victims of the cruelty and cruelty of the war. A ruthless target of victimization,

They had experienced the cruel and bloody expulsion of the Normans, and were driven out like dogs without dignity under the contemptuous eyes of the people of Kyoto. This world is very big, and the only place that might take them in is the Vic Territory in the north, so Although the road is difficult to walk now, they are still determined to set off towards the Vic Territory where there is no war.

The mud under his feet caused Fatty's horse to slip. Fatty reined in the horse's head, feeling a little heavy. The decision to let these newly settled refugees leave the battlefield was certainly the right one.

He had never doubted that the flames of war should not burn on these innocent people. However, seeing the hunched figures of the old people and listening to the panicked cries of the children, he felt really unhappy, as if he had not done enough. Same as responsibility. The promise to Nilai was still fresh in my mind, but the Visa War, which involved 40,000 troops, had already begun.

"True peace can only be achieved after the war. You should seek happiness for them and give them a peaceful and healthy life, instead of asking them to hide and flee everywhere." For this reason, the fat man arranged for Nilai to live in Hutubei. Well, he was the commander who resisted the frontal attack of the Kyoto Army. In fact, Fatty knew that the reason why he transferred Nilai to Hutu Beien was because he did not want her heart, which had been tortured by the war, to fall into the quagmire of difficult choices again.

"Either fight, or fight to death" is Fatty's usual style. Since war has been declared, he will naturally go all out. However, this battle is suspected of exposing the navy's strength prematurely.

With Dustrunkai in the northwest, after firing the first shot to annihilate Salander's navy, the Hulin tribe, which had already received the mobilization order, and Dylan, who had been spying on Salander, The Sri Lankan fleet, in accordance with Fatty's combat orders, has started to compete for this new land.

The 60 Hulin warships brought by Hulenfilin, fully loaded with 14,000 soldiers, landed at the occupied Glei Port, along the northwest line, and swept towards Fort Motoku in the middle of Salander. There were 7,000 defenders in central Salander. The army was caught off guard and lost nearly half of Moltoku before it could stabilize its retreat with the support of 15,000 reinforcements sent from Kyoto.

Although Dylan's navy is more rigid, its style has always been to use troops with great speed. This time, Dylan Kelly personally commanded and dispatched a huge fleet of 43 large and small warships, carrying 7,500 troops and sailing southward with the wind.

According to Fatty's order, after a brief stop at Vic Port, taking advantage of the fact that the Salander navy was severely damaged and the entire central defense line was ineffective, the Dylans fleet marched straight in like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and its troops reached the sea off Salander's Kyoto.

The Dylans Navy was already good at heavy-armed troops. The more than ten small islands under its rule were conquered by the army. After joining Vecia and receiving support from the Vecia army, it attacked and conquered the city. The ability is quite powerful. The first time was within a few days. Within a short period of time, Salander Kyoto took advantage of the fact that it could not divide its forces to defend the long coastline, and continued to conquer 4 important ports and 12 large shipyards in central Salander, completely cutting off the possibility of Salander Kyoto to reorganize its navy. .

Finally, amidst the furious roars of the Salander army that had just arrived, they dragged away the newly captured dozens of newly built Salander warships and walked away leisurely.

It is said that the Sultan of Salander almost fainted from anger after receiving the report. Salander is an island country and has been influenced by the culture of many years. Except for the basin in the middle, all other large and small cities in the country are close to each other. Finally, although the damage caused by the Dillens Navy's raid was only in some areas with large ports and docks, the meaning behind it was too much.

The entire Salander Kyoto was shaken by it. The destruction of Kyoto's navy and the army's poor performance in this regard,

It has been shown that as long as the Wekian navy wants to come, Salander Kyoto has absolutely no choice. This will have a great impact on the entire central area of ​​Kyoto. More people choose to flee. Everyone knows that the Wekyan people have a good relationship with the north. , instead of waiting to die in this war, it is better to go to the north,

There were also some distinguished nobles and lords who flocked to the already overcrowded Salander Kyoto, making the situation in Kyoto even worse.

Regarding the unconventional tactics of the Vekia Falcon, the entire continent also turned solemn. Countless pairs of eyes looked at the southern part of the Ikadiva continent again with fear, confusion, and this section from the continental shelf. extended small island country

Originally, all the countries in the mainland were planning to watch the joke about the Falcon of Wikiia. Everyone knew that although the main battle army of Wikisia was elite, its number was only between 80,000 and 90,000.

The number of troops that can be invested in an area at the same time rarely exceeds 50,000. Only in the war with the Ruidian people to compete for northern hegemony, 60,000 main troops were invested at one time. But even so, in the end, it was difficult to form an army due to insufficient troops. With the advantage of absolute annihilation, we signed an agreement with the Ruidian people that did not take much advantage.

Among them, the north has always been the key area where the Vecian army is stationed. Among the four main legions, Crolisat's Mountain Legion of 20,000 people and Saron's Northern Legion of 30,000 people are stationed in the northern grasslands, while Eberron in the central part of the country is stationed. The Central Army has 20,000 troops, while the Statunko Army in the south has only 20,000 main troops. Most of the others are local armies.

But even with such a small number, because the battle line is too long, it has to face the threats from the Rode people in the south, the Ruidian people in the center, and the Dongting people in the north at the same time, so it is difficult to allocate enough troops to use in Salan. german war

But the sudden and powerful navy launched by the Vekians once again shocked the continent.

It turns out that the navy can still play like this, some long-term countries such as the Sidorok Federation were frightened into a cold sweat this time. 100 main warships and nearly 30,000 elite troops were on a long coastline at the same time. spread out,

You can hit any place easily and casually, just like knocking on a joint. The chill behind it is enough to make those mainland kings who have no real face but have a long coastline feel numb in their scalps.

Although these mainland countries are adjacent to each other, they do not pay much attention to the so-called navy due to traditional concepts. In their minds, the role of the navy is to combat pirates and safeguard the interests of the coastal lords. But now, They knew they were wrong. It turned out that the navy was such a terrifying thing. The sudden invention of the Vekians and the powerful combat power they unleashed made these continental countries feel like thorns on their backs, with chills rising from their tailbones to their foreheads.

The Kingdom of Nord, which was originally planning to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit under the banner of maintaining the unity of the Kingdom of Salander, immediately canceled the naval attack plan it had just promulgated and transferred back the July Crimson Legion that had already boarded the ship. , was frightened and quickly transferred back the July Crimson Legion, which had already boarded the ship and was about to set off.

The 7,000 troops led by Fatty joined the Hulen army in front of the central fortress of Fort Motoku, and their military strength surpassed the 25,000 troops of the Salanders on the opposite side.

At the intelligence analysis meeting, Hu Lunfilin, who was wearing a military uniform, pointed with his fair and beautiful hands to the largest and thickest red arrow in the southwest and said, "The Salander army in Fort Semoltoku is about There are 18,000 people, and the general leading the army is Duke Linkson, who is the largest lord in the northwest of Salander Kyoto... According to our previous contact battles,

This Duke of Linkson is not a very good defensive general, but he is very cautious. No matter how insidious we are, he appears to be cautious. If he encounters a slightly difficult battle, he will immediately retreat to the high ground of Semoltoku Castle. Behind the wall, with strong defenses, we are ready to

Having said this, Hu Lunfeilin paused in his voice and gritted his teeth.

"It is said that he got the order of Salander Kyoto to strictly guard, so he would be so shameless and insistent on guarding. Even late at night, he kept sending out patrols, which frustrated several of our night attacks. If I am not wrong, the Salander is Prepare to use delaying tactics to slow down our attack momentum in the west, and wait until we are tired before gathering reinforcements to inflict heavy damage."

"In other words, this guy is a loach, and he won't leave the city even if he is beaten to death?" After listening to Hu Lunfeilin's introduction, the fat man knew that he might meet a guy who didn't have much chivalry. He touched his chin with his hand. This kind of people are often the most difficult to deal with. Fort Semoltoku is built very solidly. Even if there are fuel bombs that can attack the city walls, it will be difficult to forcibly break through such a solid fortress with walls several meters thick.

"Yes." Hu Lunfeilin nodded and said with an ugly face. "This guy has enough troops and supplies. He can hold on for the first half of the year. He is determined to stay together. As long as he sees us outside the city, People who are like this will never leave the city."

The fat man stared at the red arrow to the southwest, and suddenly raised his head and asked Hu Lunfeilin, "How many days is it from Semoltoku Fort to Salander Kyoto? Are there any movements of the Kyoto army during this time?"

"No new reinforcements were found." Hu Lunfeilin shook his head and replied affirmatively, "It's about 6 days' journey from Semoltoku Fort to Salander Kyoto. I have sent out 10 teams of scouts and set up a detection every 10 miles. Post, within 100 miles from Semoltoku Fort to Kyoto, as long as the enemy's new reinforcements pass through, I will definitely be able to get the news."

"Then it's better to order all the troops to prepare for battle."

A sneer appeared at the corner of the fat man's mouth, he tapped the lower end of the red arrow on the map with his finger, and said

"Since he wants to be a tortoise, we might as well teach him a lesson. Choosing to stick to the wrong place at the wrong time is the biggest mistake in itself." ..
