Conquest
Chapter 426: 【time】
In the winter of this year, almost all the interesting things that can be found in history have been put together. War, conspiracy, conspiracy, throne change, the decline of an empire, or even the subversion, the competition of various forces, the rise of new forces, the appearance of emerging strong men on the world stage one by one one by one
History tells us that if all the above things were born in the same period of the same era, then the only result would be: the birth of a huge grass!
The cold wind's face was completely numb, and Xia didn't even feel the pain caused by the biting cold wind. He was on horseback, almost smashed by these days of running. He could only tie himself to the horse with a rope, clenching his teeth and insisting on his way.
Go all the way north from Haskell and head to Denzel, passing through Esria, Syltain, and finally to More.
Siltan County is still in the hands of the Odins. For this small team of Charya and his team, this journey is full of danger. Although in order to protect the safety of Xia Ya, the governor's wife of the Besta Military District sent her elite guard. After entering the area of Siltan County, the team was accelerating around the clock, trying to cross the enemy's territory as early as one day.
Charlie was too much to bear. For the first time, he had a deep hatred for his current physical condition. This helpless hatred even made him a little bit irritable to this irritable hatred. Body. If it was changed in the past, Uncle Xia, who is physically strong and almost abnormal, would not be so embarrassed as he is now.
On the way, Charya obviously felt that those cavalry guards who escorted her at the Besta Military District looked at her with a slight contempt, and seemed to be dismissive of her unbearable appearance. The cavalry sat on their horses and shuttled back and forth proudly beside Charlie. Although they were still tired, they had enough strength to show their pride. Xia could only keep herself on the horse to barely keep behind. Such a move is a shame for Tu Ying, who has always been known for her bravery, to be braved by several influent cavalry in his eyes. .
Fortunately, Charlie's luck this time did not keep up with him. After entering Siltan County, they did not encounter the Odin army along the way, and the danger was reduced to the minimum without being seen by the Odin. Although according to Xia ’s analysis, this situation is mostly per Odin ’s The main forces are still rectifying and clearing the territory of the Corsica Military Region, clearing out the remaining resistance and small insurgents.
Calculating your schedule, you have to wait two days before you can cross Siltan County and enter the boundaries of County More.
Just last night, a snowstorm struck one by one. This is the first snow of this year. It came so early and so violently!
Blizzard fell for a full night, and with the howling cold wind, people couldn't stand. The team had to stop for a night in a forest. When it was dawn, the snow stopped slightly. Looking out, the wilderness was already silver and white. The thick snow had turned the ground powder into the same color. And never distinguish each other again. The road has been buried by snow, and the road is unclear.
In such weather, the patrol teams who want to come to the Odin should rarely travel, but it also adds some difficulties to the road.
In the woods, the guards are still finishing horses and shapes. The guards of the Besta Military District were wrapping up the horseshoes with cotton cloths, all these things, Charya naturally did not need to do anything. He stood outside the forest, looking at the distance, his face gloomy to the extreme. "Damn, it's **** it. God doesn't seem to be willing to help Lao Tzu this time. Tuyu's heart was annoyed and wanted to roar into the sky.
Behind him, the sound of footsteps on the snow came. Xia turned back and saw Sogel. The former General of the Corsica Military District, who had subjugated himself, stood behind him.
Sogel was still thin and ran for days; \\ a made him look even more sloppy, with a thick bandage on his body, and a leather hat cut off from his head, which looked a little ridiculous. However, his waist plate is still very straight one by one, which is one of the reasons why Xia looks very pleasing to him. This guy is indeed a man! "You don't look good." Sogle's voice was hoarse.
Charlie nodded, and glanced at Sogle: "I can't be happy, look at this snow for death ... it came too early, too early ..." "It's only eleven now At the end of the month, indeed, this year's snow came too early. "Sogle breathed white gas and twisted a pair of thick eyebrows tightly. "This year's weather is too abnormal. There is more rain in summer than in previous years, and snow in winter comes so early ..." Xia smiled bitterly.
"IMHO." Sogle said lightly: "The summer rainy season, the heavy rain that lasts a month, but it brings you good luck. If it is not the road and news blocked by the continuous rainy month, I am afraid Ninger had long set his sights on County Moore. That continuous rhetoric gave you the best respite. "" I admit it. "Charlie stroked her chin:" But this snow Not good news for me. "
Sogger froze for a moment, and the general thought for a moment. At last, he was indeed an outstanding soldier in the Corsica Military Region, and his eyes changed immediately. Looking at Xia, he looked inconceivable: "Did you ... Was there a military operation against Manninger in winter? Xia Ya smiled a little, but she did not deny it.
"Big madness!" Sogal was sober, his tone was calm: "Although no one hopes to attack the Odin as soon as possible and conquer the Corsica Military Region as soon as possible ... but, it will attack the Odin in the winter, this The idea is too bad! The bad can't be bad anymore! Stupid and reckless! "
Soger looked at Charlie and saw that Charlie still did not speak. The general thought for a moment and felt that it was necessary to remind himself of the new boss. He coughed and said quickly: "The Odins are from Northland For us Byzantines, the cold winter is unbearable, but for the Odin, it is the climate they are most accustomed to! In this climate, the Odin are more adaptable than us, and their fighting power will not be because of How much damage did the cold ice and snow receive? "But our soldiers fight in the snow, and they will suffer a lot ..."
After a pause, he continued while thinking: "Snowy combat, the cavalry's motive force will be reduced to a minimum, the traces of our army cannot be covered in the snow, and the Odin icefield hunters can be easily found on the snow. As our army advances, our advantage will be weakened. And when the two armies are confronted, the thick snow will weaken our cavalry's impact by at least 30%! The Odins are mainly infantry, but they are not very likely. Affected by this, and ... "
Charya finally opened. He sighed and interrupted Sogel's words: "... I know everything you said." Sogle glanced at Charya and finally closed his mouth.
He understood that the new boss and boss in front of him was not a military idiot. At least, although the other party's qualifications were not very deep, they had also gone through several wars, and the rate was quite good. You will never fail to understand this simple truth.
As a descendant and a newcomer, if you talk too much, you are afraid that you will hurt the adult's face and self-esteem. "I have my reason, and it's good enough." Xia smiled bitterly. He understood Sogel's worry, but ... he had no choice! Really no-choice!
Since the day when Hask City was prepared, when the governor's wife said the astonishing news when the farewell was in the woods, Xia ’s heart had never been calmed down along the way! Osgir ... Osgir ... Ohhhhhh! !! How can Emperor Capital be so easily defeated? !!
In such a heroic city, there are tens of thousands of elite troops. The defending general is a famous general like Adrik, and there is a supply line for the Landis in the sea. How could it be so easily broken?
What's more, when the situation has taken a major turn for the better, the rebels have entered a situation of internal and external problems, and gradually fell into a situation of downwind! Oscaria was conquered, and a series of chain reactions brought by Xia Ya couldn't even imagine it!
Once the royal family is destroyed, it represents the end of the Byzantine Empire! Once the empire is over, Charya, as an "empire official", will be legalized in terms of status! The army under his command will be disheartened! The army, officers, generals, and entire group under his command have become rootless trees!
Although Xia has quickly accumulated some of his family and strength in the past year, he has a huge flaw: the time for his formation into the army is too short, and the time for entering the stage is too short. !!
Although he has gathered more than 20,000 troops under the cliff, and the quality is quite good, and he has a certain territory ... but it must be explained that most of these troops, the loyalty of soldiers and officers, are Is built on loyalty to the empire! Most people in this group are not loyal to him, but to this empire! If Xia Ya is given a few years to seal the throne, or even a few more years to seal the throne slowly, build enough personal prestige, and let the loyalty of his people gradually transfer to himself. Let the loyalty of his group become loyal to his Charya ... then the situation will be much better!
But now, Xia can be sure that once the Byzantine Empire is destroyed, the army that seems to be quite large under his control will dissipate most of it in one day!
On this way, the only thing that Xia ’s heart prayed for was: I hope that the guy of Emperor Garcia will be lucky and run away from the ruined city! !!
He didn't care about the survival of the Byzantine Empire, and even unlike Adrik and others in Osgilia at the moment, Xia hoped that the emperor could run away, in any form! Even if the emperor ran to the Landis boat and became a puppet of the Landis, it would not have much impact on Charya, but the emperor must not die! Don't let this banner of the Byzantine Empire fall! Charlie needs this flag! You need to know this nominal empire, this nominal emperor!
Running all day and night, nearly half of the horses were killed, but Xia still ordered no rest. Such a request made the accompanying guards at the Besta Military District very dissatisfied: they were laughing at this seemingly magnificent Xia My lord, this guy has ordered himself to go crazy, but the first thing he can't support is himself, and he can only tie himself to the horse horribly ... This is just a lunatic, but also a clueless lunatic. After running all the way, Xia Ya's thoughts turned over and over again, and now there was only one feasible way in front of him! War! War now, war against the Odins! He has no time for the Seal of the Seal of God to continue to wait, continue to accumulate strength, and continue to wait for the best time!
The news of the city of Osgilia has not yet spread, at least for the time being it will not reach County More, or its own army. He must go to war immediately, and attack the enemy at all costs when the army is still stable! Improve morale and internal cohesion of your army in this way! It seems old and cliché to strengthen internal cohesion through external wars, but you have to admit that this old method has always been effective.
Xia needs a victory, a victory over the Odins to raise his military heart. "At the same time, he also needs to raise his personal prestige! With a victory in foreign wars, build up the internal awe and worship of himself. Although the winter There are all sorts of disadvantages to fighting the war, but at this moment, Xia has no choice! There really isn't!
This is a gamble, and it is very dangerous! Manninger's Red Snow Army was regarded as an elite army in the Odin Empire, and it had just experienced a great victory in defeating the Corsica Military Region. It had strong morale and captured long winter operations. Hurrying to attack yourself means betting on everything! If it fails, the small group he managed painstakingly will become like snow and ice under the sun, and it will quickly melt and dissolve ...
"At least, we are not without advantages." Xia Ya muttered to himself, his voice sounded, and he did not know whether he was persuading Sogle or comforting himself: "In terms of food reserves, the Odin must not be enough. We After nearly half a year's preparation from summer to now, the Odins fought a war against Corsica, the food reserves must be huge, and the Odins did nothing to produce, and Siltan County was occupied by them for half a year. However, they did not produce much grain. The Corsica Military Region was not occupied by them for a long time. The war spread and the barge was spread everywhere. Although the Odins won, they must not have enough grain. No matter how strong the soldiers were, France fights on an empty stomach. They now seem to be strong, but they are just an empty shelf. Moreover, once I start the offensive, the Beasts in the south will help us. Even if they do n’t really participate in the war, they will mobilize the army and attract the Odins. Attention, you can also divide Manninger's heart ... if you can defeat them in one fell swoop ... maybe ... "
Xia Ya glanced at Sogel again. Sogle's eyes were still puzzled. He sighed and didn't continue to explain. The news broke in the city of Osgiriya, he did not tell Soger that the news could not be told to anyone until he returned to Denzel.
And ... I don't have any reliance on my hands. At least, I still have a few secret small means. Once they come out, they can still play a lot of roles ...
Throne of Time Seal of God, alas, Throne of Time Seal of God ... This **** God really does not give Lao Tzu a chance to breathe. )) $ "Go to the top! Go to the top !!!"
Hughes screamed exhaustedly. He was waving his sword hard in his hands, his eyes were already blood red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He yelled and jumped at the general officer next to him. He even kicked his legs up fiercely when he was angry. .
The square in front of the palace is already full of corpses, and the arrows are inserted like a wheat field. The outer wall of the palace castle is full of barnyards, and there are still traces of fire in many places.
Countless surprises attacked like a tide under the trumpet sound, carrying a ladder and holding a shield, and then retreating like a tide in the sound of shouts. The Byzantine eagle head flag on the palace castle still stood there.
The battle for the Royal Palace has been carried out for the third day, and the determination of the resistance of the remnants of the Royal Palace to burst out of the resistance has greatly exceeded the expectations of the rebels.
According to common sense, it has been stuck in the lonely city of Osgilia for so long. Once the city is broken, the defenders should be defeated quickly. However, for the attack on the palace, the first day, the rebels broke a few teeth!
Thousands of garrisons in the palace, and even the Spears army went to the city wall to kill themselves, repulsing the waves of attacks of the rebels, and the dead bodies piled up and down on the palace wall reached nearly two thousand on the first day!
In the beginning, the greatest motivation for the rebels to slam the palace so fearlessly was nothing more than the benefits promised by the general officer, and the rumors of the Byzantine royal family in the royal palace, which accumulated countless generations of emperor wealth. ...
However, in the case of filling in countless lives without the size, the degree of morale drop of the rebels made Hughes helpless. Almost all the rebels were unwilling to go up and beat this hard bone.
Anyway, the city of Osgilia has been broken. There are large areas in the city. So many houses and houses of rich and nobles can grab them. So many blocks of shops and warehouses can be looted by wealthy people. Seeing a lot of money Right in front of me, I have worked so hard to fight till now, and that's all it takes to wait! Rather than go to the palace and kill the emperor desperately to win an empty honor, it is better to take advantage of the chaos in the city and try to get more benefits!
The rebels who were tuned up one by one almost did not want to fight. They all retreated and lost a while. When they heard the attacking horn, they shouted to the sky, but it was a thunderstorm, and the horn was heard. But it runs faster than anyone else. Almost most of the rebels have already entered the city.
As the largest male city on the mainland, Osgilia has so many sites in the city, so many giants, have become the place where the rebel army's various military forces make a lot of money, block by block, the rebels are like ants Poured in, set fire and looted everywhere, one by one, the rich mansions fell into the sea of fire, were ransacked, and the city was full of chaos and busters running around, some carrying the snatched coins and gold and silver utensils, and some carrying them. The young woman who didn't know where to hijack, cried everywhere, fire everywhere.
Even the rebels began to publicly divide the area of the plundered territory. Some rebels even fought some small-scale battles and frictions in order to compete for the site.
The rebels who entered the city were affiliated with dozens of military districts. In the face of such a flowery world as Osgilia, almost everyone had red eyes! Everyone worked hard for more than half a year to fight the throne of the Seal of God. Isn't that the day to wait! At this time, no one was willing to make a modest move.
Almost half of the rebels who entered the city scattered and looted. This situation made Hughes and El Salvador almost vomit blood. Although they repeatedly ordered all military districts to send troops to attack the palace, no one in the streets refused to damage their strength at the last time under the palace's resolute resistance. Hughes and El Salvador have repeatedly ordered that each family is violent.
Although Hughes ordered his army to fight the palace, even when his own army was a bit distracted when he entered the city, he had promised that after the city broke, he would not seal the sword for three days, so that his army could grab it. . Such a promise once greatly inspired the army, but after entering the city, it was seen that other rebels were rushing to grab the special, but the Governor of Hughes, his own family, instead ordered everyone to attack the palace and continue to fill their lives ... How many people are fighting in the army?
Seeing that everyone else is making a fortune, everyone's mind has already floated, but I am afraid that it will be another day at night. This flowery world has been emptied by others. I have been fighting for more than half a year. If nothing is caught in the end, then go Damn it! People's hearts floated, and even many people were dissatisfied with Hughes' strict orders.
El Salvador's troops were even more unbearable. On the night when the city was broken, El Salvador's troops attacked the Arc de Triomphe, and at the expense of sacrifice, they attracted the attention of the defenders and caused heavy casualties. After entering the city, the people in the team are also generally thinking, only think that it is time to get benefits, at this time, they are forced to continue to work hard, I am afraid that few people are willing. The offensive of the palace was not favorable, so that thousands of defenders guarded the palace and carried the throne of the Seal of God for three days.
El Salvador and Hughes have repeatedly sent people to dispatch other rebels, but the leaders of each rebel army will only care about holding their respective areas firmly and robbing the prosperous world of the Emperor. Three to five hundred people responded to the situation, and the people sent were all bitter, and they refused to work hard.
When the entire rebels attacked Osgilia, they still showed a little sincerity and unity, but they did not expect that the city would become like this.
Only Hughes and El Salvador are really keeping awake. The two have a division of labor. El Salvador is responsible for clearing the remaining defenders of the Arc de Triomphe, Adrik. Hughes is responsible for attacking the palace.
But for three days in a row, Hughes and El Salvador suffered a defeat. El Salvador was even more unbearable. His elite was damaged too much on the day of breaking the city. At the moment, when dealing with the rest of Adrik, not only could he not break Adrik's camp, but Instead, two beautiful counterattacks were beaten by Adrik's army, and his army was defeated and quit two streets. El Salvador was unprepared and almost died in the army, relying on a group of guards. The desperate protection came out alive. After the army was gathered, they attacked, but their men and soldiers refused to die. Hughes repented. He only hated now, the night the city broke! Why don't you continue to venture straight into the palace, and if you take some risks at that time, you might have taken the **** palace in front of you!
In this s1, only the Royal Palace and the Arc de Triomphe are under the control of the empire in the entire city of Osgilia. The city is full of chaotic soldiers looting everywhere, and only those parts of the house that had secretly trusted the rebels before can be preserved. Hughes was still on the road to do things, and did not break the trust. Hundreds of soldiers were held and protected in the homes of the rich and powerful. When the rebels of other families robbed here, they saw Hughes's guards blocking them, and they all dispersed. went.
In addition, there is a special place in the city of Osgilia. In the chaotic surroundings of the city, the miracle holder is rare and clean.
The whole Long Street is quiet. Just at the intersection, there are hundreds of rebels from different military regions, but they are all guarded at the intersection and fully armed. Once any random soldiers hijack here, it is far away. Deported.
The tranquility of the streets was incredible, and even the rebels standing at the intersection guarded them deliberately when they walked back and forth. They all received a strict order. No one is allowed to walk into this street half a step, or to harass the house that lives at the end of this street!
Even in the three days that the city was broken, the rebel leaders, generals, generals, and even the governors of some military districts have come here in person, with only a small number of guards, and they have left at far crossings. Ma, handing his weapon to the people around him, made a respectful look, and walked across the street. "When I came to the door of the house at the end, I respectfully went to the door to see him.
It ’s just that these generals and the governor, even if the whole city of Osgilia is in their hands at this moment, kill and win, but in the face of this family, it seems that they have given enough respect, even if they visit each time At that time, the other party just sent an old servant, and even the door was only opened half a door, and then just a few words, just let these general governors eat behind closed doors, but no one dared to make trouble here.
Even if they were turned away, the leaders of these rebels all left politely and left, and then sent people to protect them.
Only because the position of the owner of this house in the eyes of the leaders of the rebels has to be respected!
Even the fierce rebels, when facing the owner of this house, had to make a respectful and polite appearance regardless of Kui's willingness.
Just because the owner of this house, the prestige of the entire Byzantine empire is really high! It is so high that almost no one can ignore it. Even among the dozens of rebels in the empire, many military generals and even the governor were once students or disciples under his command, and even once under his command.
The Duke of Minas, the most noble and most experienced veteran of the Imperial Army, lives in the home of the old man with high prestige among the Imperial Army and the rebels. Still keeping the final peace.
At this moment, on a small building in this house, standing on the terrace, the mighty old man with silver hair showed an old look, wrapped in a thick leather robe, and stood in the cold wind. , Overlooking the city of Osgilia.
With the sound of the wind, there were shouts and cries of shouts in the city. Looking to the east and west, there were flames and black flames.
The old duke's face seemed calm, but his eyes were full of pain. He held the fence tightly with his hands, his fingers still shaking slightly. "The millennial capital is one by one, one thousand and eleven, one thousand one hundred and eleven," murmured the Duke of Minas, and he shook his head gently. Turning around and swallowing him, there are three figures.
The young Roddy, the duke's heir, was full of anger, his teeth rattled, and stared at the fire in the distance. Beside Roddy, the other two figures were women.
A purple method, a vial with a strange purple pupil, a cold iron face mask, and a half-face exposed, but also a layer of frost that has been invincible for thousands of years. .
Via's side was the young girl with freckles on her face, the youngest disciple of Cavill Hill, who was wearing a white robe at the moment. The robe was very thin, but in the cold wind, the girl It seemed as if there was no coolness. Both Roddy and Via stood there, but the girl (8) was sitting on a chair, looking calm and calm, holding a book scroll in her hand, and the wind and faint crying around here Amidst the shouting and killing, the girl squinted her eyes and stared at the book in her hand intently, just an occasional move, which was just turning the pages of the book lightly, where it seemed to be in war, but it was sitting in her backyard in the peace season It's usually relaxed here.
The Duke of Minas stood in front of the fence for half an hour, and the girl in light white this year read the book for half an hour.
When she finally turned the last page, she seemed to be relieved and relaxed with a smile on her eyelids: "This is a mess ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Only the Lord Duke's home can get this one Quiet. In these days, and only today, I can read the book with the most peace of mind. "
The Duke of Minas glanced at the light girl this year, and frowned. The quietness and sentiment of this girl really displeased the old man's heart, not for anything else, only because of the appearance of this girl. Pie, it really looks like the dead Cavie Hill!
"Your teacher, haven't you really left any other way?" The Duke of Minas took a deep breath and pointed to the city far away: "Such a mess, didn't the old guy expect it? The girl lowered her book gently, glanced at the old duke, and then seemed to smile. Her tone was calm like an ancient well without a wave of waves.
"Master Duke, we have already done what we should do. The current situation is not that our personal abilities can be changed. The teacher once said in the past that even God, there is no guarantee that every decision is correct. I have done After all the things that the teacher has explained, the next thing is to wait. Compared to this world, this empire, I am personally just an insignificant ant. At this moment, I just wait quietly. "
When I was sick, I became sick in the winter and lingering in the bed, I was very depressed. The back of my hand was bitten into a horse honeycomb ...
