The fat man was a little depressed as he watched Belissus kill a war horse and received urgent information. The base camp of the Falcon Legion was less than a day away from Palavon, just 30 miles away from the dilapidated fortress that besieged the Dongting army. In a small town, if the camp is immediately abandoned, the main forward cavalry of the legion can arrive at the gate of Palaven within half a day.

But Belissus, who set off from the country, didn't know that. He first forced himself to stay calm and followed the original route out of the city, and then ran all the way to the Amira Mountains to the east. In order to avoid possible pursuers, Belissus could only Choose a sparsely populated mountain road,

In this way, this urgent information that was racing against time first arrived at Amyra, and then was transferred to the Falcon Legion's base camp. It was delayed for almost half a day. This half day was enough to decide many things. In the cruel In a political struggle, half a day is enough to determine the difference between a winner and a loser.

"You're saying that there may be a rebellion in Palaven City, and the other party seems to want to use Princess Ruidian's identity to gain the orthodox royal status?"

After skimming the information in his hand, Fatty's face looked a little gloomy. Since the outbreak of the Palaven Civil War, Fatty had been completely watching the excitement.

♦※

He had too many things to deal with. First of all, he had to find a way to deal with the besieged Dongting people. Although they blocked the Yeruige passage and completely cut off the Dongting people's retreat to the north, they gathered in front of the Falcon Legion. The Dongting army still amounts to 35,000.

After learning the lesson from being besieged and annihilated by fire last time, the King of Dongting spread out the 35,000 Dongting archers according to their rank on several hills on both sides of the dilapidated castle, and coordinated with the 4,000 dilapidated archers in the middle. Black-armored archers,

Forming a cross-fire network that can block several times the enemy, even if the Falcon Legion has Thor and a large number of crossbows, it will still have to pay an extremely heavy price if it wants to withstand the arrow clusters shot by the East Court sharpshooter from several directions. the price of

Then there are the affairs outside Ye Ruige. Since the Reedians have no time to take care of it, and the East Court people are greatly weakened, the fat man has transferred Caesar Sauron's 40,000 main force in the Eberron area to the Rebogen front line.

Cooperating with Bertrand Bonnie, who is familiar with the terrain of Ruidian, using the three northern counties as the support point and Duoweiyan's 20,000 Kugit Rangers as the vanguard, they simultaneously attack from the two directions of Aichmore and Ruibogen. Attack in the east and speed up the war to capture the eight northern counties north of Yeruige that originally belonged to Rui Erdian and the Dongting people, as well as the outlying areas of the Dongting Grassland.

Judging from the news coming back so far, the infantry regiment led by Bertrand Bonnie is advancing smoothly.

Due to the unstable foothold of the Dongting people and the lack of local defense forces, in just half a month, the Falcon Dynasty's army, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, captured Bilenburg and Azge from the Dongting people. Most of the three areas in Germany and Yilindaha closest to Rebogen have been restored, 43 lost towns have been restored, and 120,000 refugees in turbulent areas have been appeased.

Half a month ago, the soldiers had arrived at the breakthrough point where Dongting's army moved south, the important northern town of Ruidian, the city of Bronste.

Facing her were 7,000 Dongting cavalry led by Dongting Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander Zamuwei, and some 15,000 peasant soldiers temporarily recruited from the peasants.

Such a force was dwarfed by the 40,000-strong Falcon Legion. The Dongting Cavalry Commander rarely adopted a defensive strategy.

Bertrand Bonnie, who was deeply influenced by the fat man, played a little trick here. The 40,000 troops seemed not to see the city in front of them, and did not care at all about the face of the Dongting Wanqi Commander named Zamuwei. As soon as the front of the troops turned, the troops circled around the two sides of Bolangsti City and assumed a posture of continuing to advance eastward.

This frightened the commander of Dongting Wanqi who was preparing to defend the city.

Now Dongting's troops in Ruidian have been severely reduced, and the Dongting grassland in the rear has been attacked by a large-scale attack from the Xikujit side. The entire grassland is filled with the sound of fighting. Xiku, which has been recharging its strength for more than half a year, The various tribes of Git sent out an army of 50,000 people this time, and they were able to wipe out the Dongting Grassland in one fell swoop.

Being able to gather the remaining 7,000 cavalry is already the best effort that the Dongting people can do in Ruidian. If the Falcon Legion bypasses the city, cuts off all resources around the city, and launches a siege, then these hasty The assembled Dongting cavalry will starve to death due to lack of food.

The 7,000 Dongting cavalrymen in Dongting finally chose to go out of the city to fight in the field. As a result, they encountered a fierce ambush by 20,000 Falcon troops. The entire army was annihilated on a loose slope. The fall of the important northern town of Bolangsti marked the end of this battle with the East. The initiative in the court war has completely fallen into the hands of the Falcon Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that Lord Lidakus will..."

Belisus half-knelt in front of the fat man's tent in a state of embarrassment. He had been kneeling for 4 hours. Coupled with the exhaustion from traveling all night, his whole body felt like he had rolled out of muddy water. His tired look could not hide the look in his eyes. It's so hot that Fatty won't get up until he gives a reply.

"Decision. How to decide?" The fat man stared at the stubborn shadow outside the tent with a depressed expression.

Although the situation in the north of Rui'er Dian has been decided, in order to defend Ye Ruige, an important pass area, with heavy troops, and to mobilize limited backup forces to quickly sweep away the scattered remnants of the Dongting people in the north of Rui'er Dian,

Behind the glory is a crisis that makes people feel bone-chilling. Without reinforcements, the only thing Fatty can rely on is the main force of the 40,000 Central Army that besieged the Dongting people.

Opposite him were 35,000 Dongting elite cavalry who were forced into a blind corner and could take action at any time. On the side were the Ruidian rebels who were watching eagerly and could draw knives from behind at any time. Their total number exceeded 300,000. , in this situation, Talking about the word "decision" is easier said than done. Fatty feels like he is walking on a thin piece of shiny ice. He may fall into an abyss that he will never be able to turn over at any time because of an unstable footing or an unknown undercurrent. in the cold

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Turrit Colin came from Rebogen with the field medical team and opened the door of the tent. This beautiful witch with delicate appearance was wearing a finely crafted Milan Chongkai, with a beautiful helmet under her arm, and a head like Her wavy purple hair is draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face reveals an unconcealed sense of prowess.

The image of the falcon on the breastplate is inlaid with precious gems of various colors, and is lifelike. A section of white neck is exposed from the collar, the exposed hands are wearing cold iron gloves, and a short sword is engraved with the falcon badge. The sword was slung on a thin waist that was hard to hold, and the sharp cold air showed that it was not a decoration.

The fat man looked at Turrit Colleen's knight uniform, and a flash of hot fire flashed in his eyes. This female seductress really understands men's appetites, and she actually knows how to dress herself according to the environment.

"Do you have that kind of plague that kills tens of thousands of people in a short period of time?" The fat man asked with a serious face, somewhat impatiently. Although he has always disdained such despicable means that somewhat destroy harmony, now is an extraordinary period. Fatty can't control that much.

Time has become the most important weight. Once the trapped Dongting people find that they are facing only 40,000 Falcon troops, they will definitely launch a full-scale attack without any scruples, although they may not be able to defeat the Falcons. The defense line of the army, but if you want to escape a few important people, it is still no problem.

The only reason a hero like Dongting Khan was plotted by Fatty this time was because he fought far away from home and was eager for quick success in the past. Once he returns to his own grassland, he will think that the wolf has returned to the wolf pack and the river flows into it. After reaching the sea, it is not that easy to defeat him.

"Plague?" Turrit Colleen's beautiful face was stunned for a moment. The fat man seemed to have never asked himself about this matter. How could he make an exception this time?

"This. I'm afraid it's very difficult." After hesitating for a while, Turrit Corinne replied with a difficult look on her face. "The plague of our witches mainly targets livestock and crops in the enemy's territory. As for targeting living people, , I have not tried it, that is within the scope of the pharmacist. If you must use this kind of witchcraft, the effect will not appear until at least a month later."

"One month later..." The fat man's face was full of speechless expressions. If the siege could last a month, the people in Dongting would have starved to death, and there would be no need for a plague.

Turrit Colleen looked at the fat man's silent gaze, and suddenly a playful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is Your Majesty worried about the tens of thousands of Dongting people who are trapped? In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve."

"Oh. Do you have any idea?" The fat man raised his head in surprise.

"Since we can't surround you, why don't you let him go?"

A chill flashed through Turrit Corin's beautiful eyes that shone like starlight, and she said in a calm tone, "Although I don't understand war, I also know that the Dongting cavalry has always been brave, let alone being forced into despair by His Majesty, if Dongting The men and cavalry are desperately trying to break through, and I’m afraid even your majesty can’t stop them, so why not give the Dongting people a way to survive?”

"Let go? You mean let the Dongting people go?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, then stood up from his seat suddenly, looking at Turrit Corinne with a gloomy face, a murderous aura filled the tent.

The fat man's eyes were like razor blades, scanning Turrit Colleen's calm face. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Can you make it clearer? Otherwise, it would be hard for me not to suspect that you are biased towards the Dongting people. You know, In order to trap these Dongting people, I have lost more than 10,000 brave and fearless Falcon warriors, many of whom are old subordinates who have followed me for many years."

"Your Majesty should know that fishermen are fishing. If a fisherman encounters a big fish that is too big to be caught temporarily, he will use a fishing net to drag it behind the boat and let the fish keep flapping in the net until it finally loses its strength. Then the fisherman can Easily pull fish onto the boat”

Turrit Colleen said that it is so natural that everything that is unreasonable becomes reasonable. It even more highlights the gorgeous military uniform of a female knight.

Turrit Corin's voice stopped, her eyes seemed to see through everything, and she seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. She pointedly said, "I heard that there is a severe drought in the south of Ruidian this year, and there is no food harvest. There are even people eating it." human condition arises

Why don't your majesty put the Dongting people into this dry net? The Dongting people who have left the grassland are like fishes that have left the sea. As long as your majesty spreads the news of King Khan going south, then we don't want to take action, and the Ruidian people will definitely do the same. His Majesty, who will not let King Dongting Khan go, can sit back and enjoy the results."
