"Opening the city of Maitan only opened the door to the south-central part of Istan. Perhaps the entire Obaro continent believes that the main goal of the imperial army going south is the coalition base camp of the southern withdrawal. This two sides add up to a million troops. , The battle between North and South on the two battlefields of the land and the sea. At this time it was time to end, in fact, they were all wrong. At the beginning of the high-level military meeting held, the Falcon Emperor decided this battle very clearly. The ultimate goal, the empire will march into the south!

　　

"Breaking the southern coalition forces and bringing the entire Istan region into the territory of the empire is just a passing incident. The real goal of the empire is only one, that is, to attack the south." The empire never thought of being dumb. The six southern countries have such a big situation, how? It may be easy to let go, there is no intercourse, it is never the style of the empire. If you don’t fight, if you hit the other party, you will have a toothache when you think of the Falcon Empire. This is the violent style of the empire along the way. Empire If you want to establish your absolute control of the North of the Obaroine Sea and occupy the strategic geographical location of the Istanian Promenade, you must not stop at the result of driving the enemy away. This time you can defeat the South and wait until the South Regained his vitality, is it impossible to fight another North-South battle? If that is the case, the Istan region will only become a quagmire of war between the two sides. Even if it is rich and fertile, it will only bury the dead bones of the soldiers.

　　

The Southern Allied Forces were able to mobilize nearly one million troops, and the Empire also had inferior strength. The Southern Allied Navy was severely damaged, and the Army’s strength was put into the battlefield in batches, which has been consumed by the previous few battles, and the Empire The main force of the army is now the morale of the rainbow stepping into the battlefield of this real battle between the north and the south,

　　

At this time, the entire Obaro does not necessarily know how many troops the empire has in this war. There may be only one person who knows this. That is the supreme command of the North-South War, the master of the powerful Northern Empire, the Falcon The emperor, at least the power currently in the hands of the emperor, without counting the navy, the force layout is as follows: 100,000 people in the direction of Merkgar, 200,000 in the direction of Istanbul, Kyoto, and the empire strength of three mobilized from the direction of Faisan One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand cavalry in the east court and Hungarian tooth, and fifty thousand cavalry in the west court just arrived, a total of 750,000 of the imperial army, the total number of cavalry alone reached 200,000, and they are all real The frontline of warfare is elite. In comparison, only one hundred thousand southern coalition forces who want to run away stand in front of the 700,000 Great Empire.

　　

　　 This war is no longer to be fought in the south, but to be fought in the north!

　　

If the six nations in the south knew this was the case at the beginning, they would not have fought a decisive battle between the north and the south. Although the falcon empire in the north was strong, it was still separated by a wide inland sea, although it had a great influence. But mainly concentrated on the economy, the so-called powerful rise of the North threatened the South, and it was mainly the reason used by the southern monarchs to wage war. Soon, they knew that they were not only wrong, but also too wrong. In this war, The biggest loss in the South is not the 700,000 soldiers, but the more important thing, the control of the coastal areas of the South! -No excerpt from the third volume of "Ten Opportunities for Empire Expansion".

　　

The army went south, the night was cold and dew cold, the iron armor condensed ice, and in the dark night, the heavy cluster of horseshoes stepped into the shoal water that spread in front like a landslide, rolling up a white splash of water, and countless black cavalrymen flooded into the wilderness in front, This is the former sharp cavalry cluster that the main force of the empire came to the south, leaving 30,000 people guarding the 100,000-capitalized Mactan City coalition. The main force of the empire immediately went south without stopping, and the coalition base camp left Mactan City for more than 20 Hours, but according to the speed of the infantry cluster, if you drive the cavalry to catch up overnight, it may not be able to catch up, but until the next day, the cavalry cluster has set foot in the outskirts of Merkgar, and the scout did not report a very unlikely thing. I didn't find the coalition forces going south. In order to be sure, the scout even protruded more than thirty miles forward, and the same result!

　　

　　 The whole team stopped! "

　　

The fat man raised his hand, the cavalry cluster began to slow down, the sky was filled with smoke, and the rumbling of the horseshoes gradually subsided. For the report of the scout, the fat man knew that there must be something wrong. Most of the coalition forces were infantry, and the speed was simply He couldn’t get up soon, but when he left Maitan, he felt something was wrong, but because it was night, plus riding a horse, he couldn’t pay too much attention to the details, so he didn’t pay too much attention, but now, the sky is getting brighter, he I suddenly realized where the something was wrong, that was in front, there was no trace of the march of the army. If the hundreds of thousands of troops really passed by here, how could it disappear after only a few hours of difference!

　　

"Your Majesty, what's wrong!" Rui Tangting was wearing a red chain mail, clinging to the graceful figure. The gorgeous long princess cloak behind her was danced by the wind, whistling with a team of Dongting cavalry, and the prairie rider The skill is indeed more superb than that of ordinary imperial cavalry and Hungarian cavalry. After a night of bumping, even if the general cavalry can persevere, it will always inevitably cause fatigue. Even the Hungarian cavalry seems to be a little weak, but these east For the cavalry cavalry, it seems that instead of running all night, the energetic ones sleep all night on horseback. The fat man knows the habit of Dongting cavalry and really has the habit of sleeping on horseback. It is especially suitable for long distance running, as long as the front A cavalry as a head horse, the other war horses will consciously keep up, and the Dongting cavalry above can rest in peace.

　　

"I don't know what the reason was. The main force of the coalition army went south for more than one hundred thousand. The fat man swept coldly across the wilderness in front of him. The sharp-eyed people did not dare to look straight. They ran all night and found that their prey was lost. Naturally, there was some anger. Does he believe that on such a flat terrain, the coalition's hundreds of thousands of horses can still find a place to hide?

　　

"It's gone? No, isn't it a scout missed?" Rui Tangting said cautiously, the anger that was hard to conceal in the fat man's words, so that the surrounding atmosphere was sinking, don't look at the nearby imperial generals It is a brave man on the battlefield. In the face of the pressure of His Majesty Falcon, in addition to Her Royal Highness, who dares to say one more word at this moment!

　　

"A large army of more than 100,000 people could not be found by spreading it on the ground. How could there be no trace of the places where more than 100,000 people walked? Even if it may not be along the road, it would not be ten miles away. It’s absolutely impossible to find traces!” The fat man slightly flicked the corner of his mouth, holding the whip in his hand, and said calmly, “Unless the other party can fly? Otherwise, the only possibility is that the other party did not walk in the direction of Merkgar We ran all night, but we ran in the wrong direction!" The fat man did not know that his judgment was infinitely close to the truth, but the coalition did not go to Merckal, nor did the coalition know. The temporary change of route saved the entire coalition from being destroyed. Complete danger

　　

　　 "Come here, bring the map!" The fat man ordered loudly, if the coalition did not leave Merkgar, where would it go? The accompanying guard immediately fetched the map of the Istanian Empire, spread the gilt-grained leather map on a flat stone, and set his sights on the middle of the Istanian Empire between Maitan and Merkgar, this area From the Ministry of Military Affairs of Istanbul Kyoto, the above is a very detailed record of the region of Istan,

　　

The goal of the coalition is to rescue Merkgar, because only with the supplies from Merkgar, there is capital to evacuate toward the southern border, but now, the coalition does not even need Merkgar, proving that the southern coalition base has decided to give up Merkgar, and using the time that the Imperial Army was concentrated in Merkgar, broke out from the imperial army's interception,

　　

From the map, the central part of the Istan Empire is like a fat stomach, with large and small river channels, and the mountains from south to north are as complicated as the stomach folds. The road from Mactan City to the south except Merkgar There are two, one is through the province of Rekop, east of Merkgar. The fat man knows that the province of Rekop is already under the control of the Imperial Army. Although there are not many troops stationed, the distance from the Empire in Merkgar is The main force is not far away, and the possibility of the coalition choosing to pass from the province of Rakop is unlikely, because disturbing the defender of Rakop is equivalent to disturbing the Imperial Army forces in Merkgar, so the coalition is probably the biggest one.

　　

The fat man’s gaze turned to another road. Even at first glance, the fat man could be definitely this road. The reason is very simple. This road and the road leading to Merkgar even converge on a fork, and this This road is not a plain, but it crosses the winding mountains of Lokastii in central Istan to the mountain city west of Merkgarh, Kutas. If you want to escape, you will also choose this road Because of the complicated mountain plateau, the empire chased the cavalry power most likely to be used in the southern base camp. It will be greatly discounted here. As for the materials that escaped from the south, the fat man hardly thought about what the coalition base camp would do.

　　

　　 Kutas City is undoubtedly over! In order to escape, the coalition base camp will definitely ransack this mountainous city in the shortest time. The so-called shortest is naturally the fastest slaughter and looting. Of course, the coalition base camp can force the residents of the city of Kutas by force to dispose of food. Take it out, but that is a waste of time. The entire population of Kuras is tens of thousands of people, and it is also a barren mountain city. It is impossible for the coalition 150,000 troops to get enough food to flee south, only the entire Kuta This is possible only when the city is hollowed out. The problem is only control. Once the coalition forces withdrew, such news leaked out that the Imperial Army caught up with the wind. The infantry of the Southern Coalition Army could no longer run, and it was impossible to run past the Imperial Cavalry. Horseshoe, if the news won't leak out in a short time, only the people in the city will be killed!

　　

　　"Let me know who came up with the idea, I must cut his head"

　　

The fat man murmured in a bit of his teeth, raised his head to look into the distance, and looked at the ridge in the distance with a bit of anger. South-central Istan has been regarded by him as his own bag, now a city Just being slaughtered in this way made him feel very angry. It was really careless. I didn't expect such a ruthless person in the coalition. He completely abandoned the besieged Merkgar, regardless of the life and death of the 100,000 coalition in Maitan. Running towards the south, if it is not the direction of Mactan City surrendering, saving a lot of time, it is really possible to let him escape! At this time, it is obviously impossible to turn back and then turn to Kutas City. After obtaining the supplies in Kutas City, the coalition forces will inevitably flee southwards. Once more than 100,000 people have spread out and run, if they want to gather together to wipe out It’s not so easy. Fortunately, the map shows that the road south of Kutas City passes through a place called the Crow Pass, which is the connection point of the Kutas Plateau and the southern hills of Istan, away from Merkgar About eighty miles, for the infantry cluster, such a distance needs to run for a day, but for cavalry with high mobility, eighty miles is not a problem, and now it can only be seen whether the coalition troops run fast or run by themselves It's fast!

　　

In the city of Kusta, a highland city, a huge flame is engulfing the city, the smoke is rolling, the blocks between the cities are shrouded, and 150,000 people in the coalition base camp launched the whole city in order to get enough food to escape south from this small city. After the massacre, the coalition first deceived the city gate of Custa. The garrison regiment of Istan Moldova was stationed in the city of Custa. The governors of the region all held a wait-and-see attitude towards the war between the southern coalition and the imperial army. To the coalition forces that appeared in the mountains and fields outside the city, where did a garrison leader dare to offend,

　　

The head of the garrison opened the city gate obediently, and took several men to the coalition base camp to welcome Darius Anshi, "The adults come from afar, on behalf of Governor Rus Baiyu, I extend my sincere welcome to the adults "The captain of the garrison kneeled on the ground on one knee without even raising his head. Why did the main force of the coalition army appear here? He did not know, but the current situation of the coalition army is very bad. He still knows it. I hope these guys go quickly. I heard that Merkgar is about to be captured. Now that so many people are here, is it also defeated in the north? Just as various speculations in the head of the garrison were heard, he heard a slightly cold voice coming in front of him,

　　

　　 "Welcome? It's disrespectful!"

　　

There is a garrison captain in the eyes of Da Liu Anshi. The city of Kusta in front of him is a lamb to be slaughtered. Although he is thinner, it is better than nothing. Just find the supplies here. , You can go back to your country, as for the Imperial Army, how can you delay a few days in Maitan, and then you never thought that the coalition will bypass Merkgar, even if you break the city of Maitan, it will be far behind. Understand!

　　

　　 "Everyone heard~lightnovelpub.net~We are very popular!" He sneered and said to the generals around the country with a sneer

　　

　　 "Haha" laughed loudly, he came here to slaughter and kill, but he was still welcomed. It is no wonder that such Istanians are going to perish!

　　

"Kusta City is right in front of you, so don't be polite, you can take everything you take away, and you don't need to turn it in. No matter who gets more, whoever gets more will have a guarantee. Remember, our time is very tight. After an hour, I hope to see a lot of food. As for people, just burn them together!"

　　

"What! Masters, you are..." The head of the garrison was completely frightened. Several screams behind him made him turn around dullly, and saw several colleagues who were with him. The sharp spear pierced at the same time, the tip of the gun came out of the chest, and the blood exploded and spattered on him. The reason why he was okay was that Da Liu Anshi likes to look terrified.

　　

Seeing the subordinates killed, seeing the coalition rushing madly towards the open city gate, this head of garrison didn’t know what was going to happen, it was really a fool, thinking that it was because he opened the city gate on his own initiative, which caused such a situation , The guard leader spit out blood from his mouth

　　

"You beasts! Ah!" He cried out in his mouth, pulled out his sword and tried to rush forward, seven or eight spears pierced his body, put his whole person up, and blood spattered in the air. The head of the garrison's body is very strong. Even so, he is still struggling to pull out the spear that pierced his body, but this is in vain. His soon disappeared, and the city in the distance, dissipated in him There is blood in my pupils!
