744 sortie to attack the mountain pass
On October 19, when Dorok sent troops to the Paraven Plains and the Nords attacked Peragher, in the calm Urhausk in the north, the fat man convened the first highest-level combat meeting since the establishment of the Falcon Dynasty.
Among the armies mobilized this time, there are the first, second, fourth, and fifth Central Army Corps, six flag regiments, with a strength of 45,000 troops, the first, second, and third flag regiments of the Northern Army Corps, with a strength of 28,000 troops, the first and third flag regiments that have completed the integration in the west, with a strength of 17,000 troops, the first and third banner regiments of the Ebelon Guard Regiment with 20,000 troops, and the combined cavalry of the eight tribes of West Kugit with 30,000 troops, with a total strength of 140,000 troops
This mobilization is extremely secretive, most of them are in the name of the big wedding parade, scattered and assembled on the mountain range at the junction of the northern county and the western grassland, all waiting for the fat man to give orders, within ten days, a huge cluster of 140,000 people will appear on the Palauvon plain with the momentum of Mount Tai. Wipe out any enemy that stands in your way,
This plan was originally intended to be implemented after the wedding, and it was also aimed at the people of Ryordian in the Paraven Plains area, and the fat man had the intention to sweep the northern part of Ryordian in one fell swoop, and completely took the center of the continent into his pocket.
However, the sudden dispatch of the Dorok undoubtedly forced the fat man to start this plan in advance.
Although the logistics are not very sufficient, and the accumulated and purchased grain is only enough for the army for a month, if there is no protracted war, just a surprise war, a month is enough time to decide a qiē,
After briefly describing several key points of this battle, the fat man closed the text containing the battle plan and closed it again, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly and solemnly
"This time to send troops to the south of Rui Erdian, the strategy is different from the previous direct attack, that is to say, our army will pass through the Palaubun plain controlled by the Rui Erdian people, and enter the south of Rui Erdian, where the terrain is complex and famine is rampant.
"So anyone, whether you are the commander of the regiment, the commander of the banner, or the person who delays the fighter plane because of greed for merit, even if you defeat ten times the enemy, I can only reward you with a knife in the head, do you understand?" The fat man was full of energy, his voice was subdued, and his eyes swept over the generals sitting upright in the conference hall, and asked in an accentuated tone
"Understood" the generals neatly got up from their seats and made a deafening sound,
"Okay, all the corps-level generals stay, and the others go down and prepare" The fat man stretched out his hand and signed his name from the minutes of the meeting handed by the secretary Turit Colin, and then put the pen on the table,
This plan will be distributed to the combat flag regiments as a secret at the flag regiment level, and hearing His Majesty's order, the flag commanders in the venue quickly left the scene, they knew that the real strategy might only be arranged now, but not many people knew what the specific content was
According to the archives of the Falcon royal family, in this small meeting, there were 4 people on the record,
They are Caesar Solon, the governor of the Alberon region, the northwestern governor of Achmore, Krolisat, the first general of the Central Army Corps, Hukochili, and the governor of the Hubraban region, the commander of the Northern Corps, these four people, together with the southern governor of the country, are called the five pillars of the Falcon Dynasty, supporting half of the Falcon Dynasty.
Not only are all of them outstanding in battle, but the army under its jurisdiction accounts for about half of the total strength of the Falcon Dynasty, and the areas where they are stationed are also the most critical nodes of the Falcon Dynasty.
For example, the Central Army under the command of Hukochili is now stationed in Amira and is the key barrier between Paraven and the three northern counties, Caesar Solon is stationed in Alberon, which is the most important military force of the Falcon Dynasty on the central border, Crollissat is stationed in the Western Wilderness, which is the back garden of the Falcon Dynasty and is also an important place to settle the southern barbarians, and Salon is stationed in the two most important cities of the northern steppe, Achmore and New Turga, which are the support points for controlling the situation in the Western Steppe,
"It's been a long time since I've gotten together like this, the place used to be small, and everyone can often see each other, but now it's all over the world, to be honest, I miss the time when we struggled together."
The fat man looked at the rest of the people with a solemn face, picked up the water cup on the table with some emotion, and gently blew the floating flower tea foam on it, and the pale yellow petals floated with the water waves...,
"I have left you here this time because there is an important thing to tell you" In the confused eyes of the four, the fat man clapped his hands lightly, and there was a sound of heavy footsteps from the door of the conference hall, and the eyes of the four people focused on the door, and their personalities were revealed from their respective expressions,
Immediately behind the secretary Thurit Colleen, the man who appeared in front of the four people was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, with some pale temples, two resolute upturned eyebrows, and black eyes with a terrifying luster, giving people a burning feeling, and the simple clothes on his body could not hide the sense of oppression like a sword out of its sheath.
"Prais, the Minister of War of Ryordian", was the first to recognize Caesar Solon, the governor of Ebron, and when he heard this name, the other three also stood up in surprise.
"Let me introduce you, this is the new adjutant of my adjutant's office, Prais, as a colleague, you still have a lot of opportunities to get to know in the future, this time in addition to letting you meet, there is one more thing to announce" The fat man waved his hand to the four subordinates with their mouths wide open, so that the order of some fluctuations stabilized, and then said
"I believe everyone knows that the key to this battle of our army lies in whether it can move south quickly, and before the Ryordians, Doroks, and Nords can react, quickly cut into the southern exit close to the Amira Mountains, and with lightning speed, sweep away the southern aristocratic army of Ryrdian wandering in that area, and then turn into the southern Pelagher
I have ordered the Governor of the South, Statunko, to take the southern line with the Governor of the South, to create the illusion that our army will attack from the mountains of the south, but before that, I need an elite army to move forward and open a passage that can go south, and I have decided to give this task to Prais, I don't know if you have any opinions"
After a while, there was a silent commotion in the conference room, and Caesar Zoro and Hukochili, who knew the inside story of Rui Erdian, glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and hurriedly agreed, and secretly said in their hearts, Your Majesty is playing beautifully
The aristocratic army in the south of Paravon is like a barrier on the way south, numbering about 80,000 people, although most of them are miscellaneous soldiers, but there are about 10,000 people who can be called elite, and they are stationed in 6 fortified cities.
It is almost impossible to eradicate it in one fell swoop without the Paravon side having time to react, but if it can be disintegrated from within, it will be much easier.
And Prais, as the former Minister of War, is undoubtedly the best person for this task,
The former Minister of War is a glorious people, and the former Minister of War is very prestigious among the Ryordians, with his righteous and outspoken character and extraordinary ability to coordinate, as well as his courage to face adversity without fear.
It is the generals of the Falcon Dynasty, during the chaos of Rui Erdian, the former military minister who took up the military affairs of a country alone is also in awe, if he can raise his banner, the southern aristocratic army will have a self-rebellion before the war, of course, from another aspect, it is also a test of whether Prais is truly and completely into the arms of the Falcon Dynasty
"With the leadership of Adjutant Prais, my subordinates believe that in this battle, the county will definitely be overwhelmed and reach the bottom of Mount Perlagher" Salon's cloudy one-eyed turned, and quickly made his position firm,
He was not familiar with the former Minister of Military Affairs of Irdian, but it did not affect his infinite loyalty to the fat man, his Northern Army was the regiment closest to the northern steppe, and from the ears of the Kujits, he had also heard a little about the rumors of this former Minister of Military Affairs of Reldian,
Although there is no denial about its tactical command, at least it is known that it is not a mediocre talent, otherwise it would not be relied upon
"This ...... The subordinates also felt the same, but they didn't know that His Majesty would recruit that legion to serve as an auxiliary?"
His Western Army has just completed the reorganization, the first battle of the Northwest Snow Mountain, he with the lives of 20,000 Western Army soldiers, officially established the Western Army in the Falcon Dynasty front-line field legion of the status of the boss, of course, this is only formal, in fact, everyone knows that the Central Army is the descendant of the Falcon Majesty, whether it is combat power or weaponry, the Central Army is significantly higher than other legions
Hearing Crowissat's words, several other military bigwigs pricked up their ears nervously, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent...,
"This, I have already chosen" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled, he understood the thoughts of several subordinates,
The mobilization of 140,000 people, if you want to say that this is just a surprise battle, who will believe it?, everyone is holding their strength, born in this magnificent era, our generation of soldiers, should be fighting for the future of the country and preparing to make a fortune in this big battle, thinking that it may complete the big battle of destroying the continent's overlord Ruierdian Kingdom, everyone is very excited, and they don't want to draw limited troops into the hard battle in the early stage, win, the merit is someone else's, lose, the loss is their own,
"Call Varisien in"
The fat man instructed the adjutant waiting outside the door, and Varisian, who had been out of everyone's sight for more than a month, appeared at the door of the conference hall wearing a crisp new corps commander's uniform,
"Your Majesty, 2nd Army of the Central Grenadier, report by Varisian" Varisian stopped in front of everyone and solemnly gave a military salute to everyone
As a new way of fighting troops, Varisian's sequence is the Second Army of the Central Grenadier, although it is a corps-level establishment, the number is only 27,000 people, a main infantry flag regiment, a grenadier flag regiment, and his original old base, a light cavalry flag regiment, of which the so-called grenadier flag regiment is actually only 5,000 grenadiers, which is the limit that Varisien can recruit in the past month,
According to the requirements of the fat man, the selection of grenadiers is extremely strict, not only need to be tall, outstanding arm strength, but also need to have a very strong psychological element, although after improvement, the projectile range of small explosive bombs is only between 50 meters, that is to say, grenadiers must withstand the impact of the other side, stand on the first line of attack of the enemy and our warring sides, and use their strong arm strength to throw small explosive bombs,
Because it is necessary to carry as many bursting bombs as possible, these grenadiers who stand on the first line of attack are warriors who do not wear heavy armor, and the way they attack determines that they must advance as they advance,
Those who can have such a plain zhì are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and basically cut off the recruitment channels of ordinary soldiers, and the veterans of each regiment are treasures, not only with good treatment, but also most of them are low-level officers in the army, and it is not easy to dig them up.
Varisien felt that this way of fighting was similar to that of a heavy spearman who stood in front of the gun and fought to the death in the first row.
Therefore, after hitting the wall everywhere, Varisian quickly focused his selection of key targets on these heavy spearmen, and after luring more than 4,000 spearmen from other banner regiments, his plot was discovered by the banner regiments.
Although the spearmen are simple to train, those who can stand in the first row are not necessarily experienced veterans, but they are definitely not afraid of death, such soldiers are welcome in any legion, if there is a lack of such a backbone, Vecchia's famous military formation will lose its cornerstone, and under the joint resistance of everyone, it will finally be shaped into a medium-sized flag regiment.
In order to show the difference between grenadiers and other troops, the fat man authorized the grenadiers to be on the battlefield, able to wear gorgeous falcon heraldic costumes, with a red tasseled hat on their heads, according to the fat man's idea, if you want soldiers not to be afraid of death, at least make them feel different from other ordinary soldiers, they are warriors, not afraid of death,
Their unique costumes not only help to distinguish who is a grenadier and who is an ordinary soldier on the battlefield, but also can cause a psychological threat to the enemy, after all, it is not an army, they dare to rush forward against the explosion of fire bombs, this effect has a very key role in the war,
Seeing Varisian come in, perhaps the most excited person was Prais, who walked over with a solemn face and fixed his eyes on Varisian without waiting for the fat man's introduction
"Is Your Excellency Varisian, who slashed the white tasseled Bogol Zamu in the Arakawa Mountains?"
With such a question, Prais straightened up in Valisian, put his right hand on his chest, and made a most solemn salute to him, saying, "Please let me pay this homage to Your Excellency on behalf of the millions of Ryrdians who were slaughtered by the people of the Eastern Court."
This courtesy made the faces of the other four people in the conference hall change slightly, and it also made the hall extremely embarrassed.
The old and solemn Caesar Sauron turned his head away, with an expression of not seeing anything, and the others hurriedly followed suit, this person's tone is still a tone of remembering Rui Erdian, this is the Falcon Dynasty, not Rui Erdian, in the eyes of His Majesty Falcon, who is as big as a needle, I am afraid that I have committed the taboo of Falcon Majesty, but this adjutant is ordered by His Majesty, and he doesn't say it, and it's not if he doesn't say it, it's better to pretend that he can't hear anything...,
At this time, the fat man just lowered his head, took a sip of water with an indifferent face, blew the flowers on it, watched the water waves rotate, and his eyes were focused as if he saw a flower blooming in the water, and he didn't realize the meaning of Prais's words at all.
If this is not the case for the dark aristocracy, it would not be Prais who hits the wall and does not regret it, such a person deserves to become the backbone of a nation, and it is not in vain that I bothered so much
"Your Excellency?" Varisian was taken aback by the situation in front of him, what is the situation, several military bigwigs turned their faces to look out of the window, and the falcon lowered his head to drink water, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a normal phenomenon
"Prais, the general of the defeated army under the Dongting people" The open-minded Prais smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and said in a voice that has gone through vicissitudes, "Now I am the adjutant of the Falcon Dynasty's adjutant office, and I will cooperate in the future, please give me more advice."
"Adjutant Prais" Valisian's face changed drastically, who is Prais? As long as he has been stationed in the territory of Rui Erdian, he will be familiar with this name, and the dignified Minister of Military Affairs of Rui Erdian has become the adjutant of His Majesty Falcon in a blink of an eye?
He looked at several other colleagues with a confused expression, several military bigwigs looked strange, their faces were flushed, Varisian didn't know what the situation was at all, he had just received the dispatch task, in fact, he didn't know what the task was,
Turit Colin walked in the door, sent the text to everyone in order, opened the plan in his hand, Caesar Solon's face changed, and Prais's face was even more ugly and pale, and even the text in his hand almost fell to the ground,
"Your Majesty wants me to propose to Rui Erdian Kyoto to attack the Dorok people by the way?" Caesar Sauron flipped through the text in his hand, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he raised his head with a puzzled face, didn't he directly cross the Roude people who were attacking the south? Why do you want to attack Dorok through the way of Rui Erdian Kyoto? Which one is this?
"No, I'm going south to the Emira Pass?"
Salon, who was next to him, turned his head curiously, only to find that Caesar Sauron was completely different from his own plan, and suddenly realized that the battle plan of each legion was different.
At this moment, the fat man finally withdrew his gaze from the water that had calmed down, as if he had just remembered something, and snapped his fingers at Turit Colin, who was standing next to him with Wen Jiàn in his hand
"Alright, everyone, the entertainment is over, now it's time to get down to business," the fat man's voice paused, and suddenly shouted in a commanding tone, "Prais, Valisian"
"Subordinate here" Varisian stood up with a stern face, and Prais hesitated to stand up
"Order you to lead the troops to storm the Elmira Pass on the day Caesar Solon submits his application, except for Caesar Sauron, the rest of the legions and 6 days later, the whole army will fight out of the mountain pass to launch a full-scale attack, be sure to take 6 cities in one day, and open the southward passage" The fat man ordered, and in the silent conference hall, there was a faint sound of iron horses galloping Jingo...... ,
