Realm of Power

c_t; The fat man held the riding whip upside down in his hand, and looked back with a serious look from the mountain pass in the distance. The coalition forces had launched the eighth attack. Although they were defeated again, this time, the imperial cavalry had begun to suffer casualties. Look It can be seen that the Southern Allied Forces are ready to go all out. They are like a dog that is about to be driven crazy. In order to find a way to survive, they will do anything.

Moreover, the terrain of the Yamaguchi battlefield is obviously unfavorable to the Imperial Cavalry, or giving an order to defend a narrow place like the Yamaguchi was a mistake from the beginning.

If the formation fighting was fixed within a specific range, the cavalry would never be able to compete with the heavy infantry. If it weren't for the sharp long-range shooting of the imperial cavalry, the Yamaguchi might have been broken long ago! Thinking of this question, Fatty felt a chill in his back. When did he start to become so arrogant? Just for the sake of the false name of annihilating all the coalition base camp, they completely ignored the difference between cavalry and infantry, and issued an order to block the coalition base camp with all their strength. The advantage of cavalry lies in high mobility, while the advantage of infantry lies in advancing in formation. this It is the most basic common sense, but I have inadvertently ignored it. In a terrain like Yamaguchi, the infantry has the advantage, but I have forced the cavalry and infantry groups to start a tug-of-war on such terrain. No wonder I feel that this battle Played a bit cowardly

In fact, what would happen if the coalition forces broke out of the mountain pass?

There are still hundreds of miles of southern hills before the coalition forces. Even if the coalition forces escape day and night, it will be impossible to cross them in less than five or six days. Judging from the battlefield situation, the main force of the coalition forces will be placed in the southern hills. is the best way. All coalition forces already have Everyone has their own thoughts, and now they are suppressed by the empire so that they can unite and rush forward together. Once they get out of the mountain pass, the little unity will naturally disappear. When the time comes, everyone will panic and run for their lives. No one will care about the other. , as long as the coalition armies escape reads;. [Fast updates, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise it] Visit:. It was the ‘meat’ on the chopping block under the imperial cavalry’s butcher’s knife. After thinking about this, the fat man decided not to insist anymore.

"Immediately send an order to Varisien. Don't come to the mountain pass, let him cut south! At the same time, send this order to the entire southern Istan. If you want to surrender to the empire, you must kill the top three coalition forces as surrender. The empire can Consider retaining his governorship!”

Suddenly something occurred to him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of the fat man's mouth. Really, how could he have forgotten this incident? There are seven or eight Istan provinces in the southern hills. Although the governors of these provinces maintain They had a wait-and-see attitude, but in fact they secretly sent people to express their willingness to surrender to the empire. The governors of these regions were not strong, but they controlled the cities and villages in the south. There are still a large number of regional garrison troops. More than 100,000 coalition troops fled into the southern hills. For the empire, it is difficult to annihilate them all. But for these southern governors, the south is their control area, and villages everywhere Even with their eyes, no matter how dispersed the coalition forces are, they will still be unable to hide on their territory.

The main force of the empire went south to pursue and follow. At the same time, the governors of these regions were mobilized to block the way for the coalition forces to escape south.

Even if the main force of the 100,000-strong coalition base camp works hard, they will definitely die in the southern hills. The southern hills are not the way for the coalition to survive. Reading the full text of the latest chapter is a dead end! After thinking about this, Fatty gave the order for the cavalry to evacuate. The imperial cavalry queue began to evacuate from the direction of the mountain pass and soon disappeared from the sight of the coalition soldiers.

The imperial cavalry ran southward for more than thirty miles before stopping. Until they rested next to a river, many cavalrymen dismounted one after another.

The army rushed and fought all day and night. Although there was a short rest, it was still at the end of the battle until now. It was fine during the battle, and I had to stand on the horse even if I risked my life. Now I relaxed, and the horse was not completely stable. A cavalryman fell off his horse. This situation made the fat man's face turn a little pale. Fortunately, he Be alert quickly, otherwise, if you really stay up until night, you may be overwhelmed by the coalition forces. Although they are elite cavalry who have experienced battles for a long time, they rushed hundreds of miles in one breath and quickly jumped in. In a tug-of-war, even if you have 10% fighting strength, it is a miracle that you can still score five or six points now. At night, I am afraid that three or four points will be gone!

At the mountain pass, a group of allied heavy infantry with a death wish moved forward with shields. At this time, they stood stupidly on the mountain pass. As far as they could see, in addition to corpses everywhere in front, there was a cold wind blowing in their faces. An empire. The shadows of the cavalry could not be seen. If it were not for the scene of rivers of blood under their feet, the coalition soldiers would have thought they were dazzled.

"I got through, I finally got through reads;! We can go home!"

The leading officer stared blankly at the empty space ahead. When he came to his senses, he cheered excitedly. The imperial cavalry had indeed withdrawn. The coalition forces immediately checked the area around the mountain pass. After confirming that there was indeed no one, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not know how the imperial cavalry retreated, they were sure that there were no imperial cavalry near the mountain pass. If it was a trap, it would be impossible for them to leave so cleanly. The news that the imperial cavalry had opened the mountain pass was like a big pie hitting the heads of every member of the coalition forces. In order to break through the mountain pass, the coalition forces filled in more than 20,000 people. The troops that were transferred in were often more than half incomplete before they withdrew. Even the generals at the team level had two killed and three injured. As for the coalition soldiers, they had already called this mountain pass a bloody and fleshy mountain pass in their hearts. No one knew how much more bloody and flesh would need to be filled in. No one knew whether they would be blocked to death by the imperial mountain pass like Fei Shan's 300,000 troops. It was precisely because of Fei Shan's precedent that the coalition forces knew very well that if they could not open the mountain pass, what would happen to them. The emperor actually withdrew! The mountain pass was opened, and we could go home. At this moment, the entire coalition army, whether generals or soldiers, no matter which country they came from, would not do anything else except to give the most exciting shouts.

After the cheers were ‘excited’, the generals of the coalition army began to feel a little troubled. The imperial cavalry’s retreat was too strange. Anyone who was not a fool would know that there was a problem. At this time, when the mountain pass was really opened, the internal unity of the coalition army’s base camp also quickly split. Everyone came from different countries and had to take different routes. At this time, I am afraid that few generals would be willing to unite and risk their lives to move forward. The generals were still discussing, and the soldiers below had already begun to rush up this bloody ‘flesh’ mountain road impatiently. This time, even the most basic queue was maintained. Everyone swarmed to the mountain road, as long as they could enter the southern hills with a radius of a thousand miles. Even the emperor could not implement the blockade. The complex hilly water network in the south formed at least 70 or 80 roads leading to the border. Could the emperor still block all the roads?

Southern Istanbul. Thesali Province

The governor of the province, Marquis Bisalia, placed a newly received order on the table in his governor's mansion, and walked back and forth anxiously. In his office, the heads of various parties in the province were looking at him. In the silent air, there was only the sound of Marquis Bisalia's footsteps walking back and forth. Everything was because of a piece of news.

The battle for hegemony between the north and the south that the whole of Obaro was paying attention to had come to an end. The coalition forces of the six countries in the south were defeated, and the Falcon Empire in the north won a brilliant victory again. After the battle of Lulan, where the emperor defeated the main force of the coalition forces, he fought another unbelievable battle, the battle of Anlusu, where 200,000 elite coalition forces were burned to ashes by the emperor.

More than 300,000 main imperial troops crushed Maitan. This directly led to the surrender of the 100,000-strong coalition army of Maitan, and the front had already reached the central part of Istanbul.

Merkgar, who had held out for more than half a month, was reduced to ashes in the fire, which meant that the coalition army was completely defeated in the central part. The coalition army base was also intercepted and killed by the imperial cavalry on the way to retreat south, with countless casualties. When the news came, everyone was stunned. The total number of 700,000 troops of the six-nation coalition was definitely enough to overthrow the country, but they were defeated again and again. In just two months, they were almost annihilated by the empire, whose troops were less than half of theirs!

If the authenticity of the news had not been confirmed, Marquis Bisalia would almost think he was listening to a fairy tale!

How was this battle fought? Even if the commanders of the coalition army were a group of pigs, they should not have been beaten like this! The problem is that the commanders of the coalition army are not pigs, but the most brilliant generation of generals in the past thirty years. Duke Fetai of the Mad Lion, Grand Knight Commander Pei Ma of the "Iron Wall", General Fezer Rokotivarici, Duke Jinghua of the Kingdom of Aden, all of them were famous generals in the south, but they all died in this battle.

I heard that the headquarters of the Southern Allied Forces is now extremely shameful and approaching the south, and the order sent by the empire is to require the southern provinces to do their best to stop the allied forces from fleeing south. If it were before, Marquis Bisalia would automatically ignore this order. After all, he is the local governor of Istanbul, why should he listen to the orders of the Falcon Empire? But now it is different. The Istanbul Empire has collapsed. I heard that the entire central and northern parts have thrown themselves into the arms of the Falcon Empire. I also secretly sent people to contact the Falcon Empire and asked to join the Falcon Empire. At this time, how can I refuse the order of the Falcon Empire? If I really do this, the day when hundreds of thousands of imperial troops go south will be my death!

This time, all the brains in the province were summoned for one reason: should we fight the allied forces? After all, it was just a regional province. Although it had garrison forces, it was still difficult to fight against the southern coalition forces. In fact, what worried Marquis Bisalia more was the instability within the province. Some time ago, the war situation was not yet clear. The coalition forces opened the prelude to the battle of Istanbul with a strong force. I don’t know who leaked the news that they were secretly colluding with the Falcon Empire, and all parties were already in chaos.

The nobles in the city cried and shouted for a new governor, and the regional garrisons were in chaos, frantically asking for accurate information, meeting and gathering to discuss what to do and how to survive this turmoil. Some people have already broken up with Marquis Bisalia, and even the candidate for the new governor has been privately agreed upon. You want to collude with the Falcon Empire, don't let us get involved! The coalition forces are so powerful that the Imperial Bureau will be defeated, and you, Bisalia, are doomed! It didn't last for a few days, and then the news of the Battle of Lulan came back. The emperor actually won the Battle of Kyoto with half of his troops, and it was like an explosion! All the rumors disappeared at once.

"Governor, the coalition forces are no longer what they used to be, and they are still fleeing. I think as long as we are fully prepared, we may not be unable to fight!" Finally, someone stood up. He was a middle-aged man with dry yellow hair and an eagle-like nose, which made him look a little 'gloomy'. He was Yaan, the garrison officer of Boos City in the north of the province. Boos City Province was the northern 'gate' of the province and one of the only ways for the coalition forces to flee south.

"We are just a garrison regiment, how can we compete with the regular army? The coalition forces are just fleeing, just let them go!" Some people expressed different opinions, believing that the price of stopping the coalition forces was too high. It was okay for the garrison regiment to maintain public order, but to stop the regular army was to seek death!

“I don’t think so!” Ya’an said solemnly, “The coalition forces fleeing south looted along the way, causing very bad effects. The Bo Lanwei Province, which is closer to the central part than Bitsali Province, had the idea of ​​not resisting. Everyone saw the result. More than a hundred villages were burned down, more than 20,000 people were killed and injured, and two cities were looted. The reason why Bo Lanwei Province paid such a heavy price was that the governor of Bo Lanwei Province did not organize garrison forces to fight against the coalition forces. He just hoped that the coalition forces could pass through his province as soon as possible. If we think so, we will be even worse off than Lanwei Province, because we are located at the fork leading to the southern border, that is to say, the Six-Nation Alliance The deserters of the Allied Forces will pass through our province. Have you ever thought about the consequences of not resisting? "

Hearing Yaan's words, everyone's face showed a trace of fear. Yes, Bitsali Province is the only way to the southern border, and there are several roads leading to different countries. Just one road of deserters from the coalition forces has made the neighboring Bolanwei Province miserable. It is said that not only villages, but even cities have been besieged. There will be deserters from six countries passing by here. If one takes away a piece, not even the land will be taken away.

Everyone's property is in the province. Many people have a lot of real estate and manors. Thinking that they may be swept away by these deserters, their faces are pale and ugly, and they even gnashed their teeth!

"If you want to hold on, you must expand the army, which requires financial resources..." Governor Bisalia took a deep breath and glanced at everyone. Seeing this scene, he didn't know how to take advantage of every opportunity. He was despising the wisdom of a governor. Fighting a war costs money, recruiting soldiers costs money, and equipping weapons costs money. Regarding the empire's order, Governor Bisalia did not say one thing, that is, the empire may guarantee that the governors of the top three regions with the most merits will continue to serve. This is what makes Bisalia most tempted. If he wins this battle, he can also stabilize his position in the empire.
