Under the gentle illumination of the autumn sun, the fat man took the guards composed of thirty guards to leave Ai Lei, who was still hazy in the morning mist, and it took a day to pass through the continuous mountains of Ai Lei, the scenery began to change from here, the terrain of the mountains became high and wide, the long artemisia grass pressed down with the wind, and it seemed that there was a pair of invisible big hands brushing the earth, driving a qiē creature,
"Woo" A crisp eagle's cry resounded through the sky, and the war horse struggled to jump up the hill, on the high place of a hill. The fat man stopped his horse, and there was a bright light in his eyes,
The hilly land in front of me is the destination of this time, the Pomion region, which is relatively flat, unlike the mountains near Aire.
The mountains here turn into dozens of miles of meadow hills, and from a distance, it looks like a huge emerald green wavy carpet, stretching from the foot to the end of the earth.
The majestic and magnificent makes people feel an impulse that is difficult to hide, especially in this season full of strong autumn mood, the earth is vast, who is the lord of ups and downs!
The fat man raised his head and looked at the small black dots flashing in the sky, and he couldn't hide his awe of heaven and earth.
In the face of these creatures of heaven and earth who take 10,000 years as the age, human life is so short, but it is this shortness like a meteor that makes human beings understand the preciousness of time and can do their best to create a bright civilization star
The reindeer running in the distance of the hills, like clusters of small black dots running actively in the waist-high grass, these hill elves stared curiously at the cavalry passing through the hills with big black eyes, they could never understand why there was a stupid fat man in the middle, stopping and sighing in this narrow strip full of beautiful scenery,
"Your Majesty, Lord Caesar Solon's 3rd and 4th Banner Regiments, stationed at Ancord, 50 miles from here," one of the Guards officers leading the way in front of him stepped forward and pointed to the eastern horizon, his report interrupting the fat man's thoughts.
"What about Caesar Sauron's 1st and 2nd Banner Regiments," the fat man asked the guard officer
"I have already followed His Majesty's instructions, 20 miles ahead of the original battle line, and now we should have arrived at the attack position!"
The Guards officer replied with a respectful expression, "This time, Lord Caesar Solon personally sits in the front line of Fort Kutani, and commands the two main flag regiments. Like huge iron pincers blocking the path of the Dorok to the north, these two banners are the main army of Lord Caesar Sauron, with a total number of 30,000 men.
Well-equipped and determined to fight, the most rare thing is that both of these banner regiments temporarily summoned many of the northern mountain people of Dorok in the Aire region during the summer. And during the period of stationing, targeted training for mountain warfare was carried out, and they were ready to enter the Dorok mountain combat at any time."
"Oh, it seems that Caesar Zoro is also a little impatient!"
Hearing the report of the guards officer, the corner of the fat man's mouth smiled slightly, Caesar Sauron's request to recruit the natives of Dorok coincided with his previous thoughts,
In the resting Central Army. It also secretly recruited a part of the northern mountain people of Dorok, and in order to recruit locals who were familiar with the terrain of the Dorok mountains, the Central Army offered very attractive conditions.
First of all, they must be mountain hunters, because their task is mainly to identify the complicated paths between the mountains, and secondly, their mission is already stated at the time of recruitment, in the war, they will not be placed in the front-line combat units, they will be assigned to the commanders of the flag regiments, and their task is to act as guides for the army,
The conditions are excellent and there is little to no risk,
Such conditions in as little as 1 month. Brought 600 Doroks who were familiar with the terrain to the Central Army,...,
The fat man has placed these Doroks at the squadron level, and they will become the eyes that guide the Falcon Army forward, making up for the lack of the Falcon Army's blind battle in this strange land.
With preparations in place, and news of internal unrest in Dorok. Finally, the fat man made up his mind, and after resting for a month in the Dorok Mountains, at the end of August, when this beautiful late autumn was coming to an end, the fat man gave the instructions of "hunting" to the tens of thousands of elites stationed on the outskirts of the Dorok Mountains.
Tens of thousands of falcons advanced towards the Dorok Mountains, and in the southwest, the 20,000 Central Army returning from the north, and the 20,000 hill corps of Krolisat stationed on the Ryerdian side west of Dorok, formed two main fronts advancing into the hinterland at the same time, and they were confronted by 7 banner regiments transferred from the Dorok people, with a total of 50,000 troops.
And in the north of Dorok, the refreshed Caesar Sauron army has broken through the blockade line of the Dorok people, pushing the battle line forward for 50 miles, and the army is directed towards Aaron, the central hinterland of the Dorok Mountains, which is the psychological capital of the Dorok, although Dorok did not establish a state, but with the establishment of the council, most of the Dorok people believed that Aaron would become the first royal capital after the establishment of Dorok
The fat man himself sat in the Pomion area, after more than half a year of layout, and it seems that the chaos within Dorok is getting more and more intense, the right time, place and conditions appear in front of the fat man at the same time,
This time, the fat man is confident that before the end of this autumn, the battle of Dorok, which has dragged on for almost half a year, will be completely completed.
Since entering the Pomion area, the fat man has also begun to pay attention to the scenery of some terrain and villages passing by, under the smoky sunset, the houses covered with thatched roofs are shining golden in the sunset, and a qiē looks so calm,
You can see some Dorok peasants in the village, although there are not many, bustling, seeing the passing Guards cavalry, they will be frightened to hide, most of them are hungry old people and children, they don't look very healthy, they should be due to the recent lack of food, but at least it shows that there is no one here, and it is not the bad situation that has been uninhabited for hundreds of miles as imagined,
The Dorok Mountains are undulating, and some areas are even covered with hundreds of miles of forests, such a complex terrain has to make the fat man start to worry, the Falcon Army, which is accustomed to the open and vast plains, will fall into a state of difficulty after suddenly entering the undulating and abrupt mountains, and will be severely reduced in combat effectiveness
Just like the previous futility of the Dorok War, although the defense line of the Dorok was crushed in the overall situation, it was always impossible to really find an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Dorok,
It's because the mountains here are so big, neither like the dense and green forests of the Ryerdian Mountains, nor like the almost plateau-like flatness of Vekia. Here is the irregularity of the ups and downs, the towering peaks reach into the sky, so that anyone who sees it loses the confidence to climb over,
If you have to find an adjective. That is the poor mountains and bad waters, overgrown with grass, evil rocks and phosphorus, dangerous peaks poking the sky, the land is scorched and black, coupled with the low sky covered with black clouds, which makes people feel impassable at first sight.
Quite a few Falcon generals are talking about it. Fighting in such a mountainous area, not only can you not deploy your troops, and even if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of the ambush of the Dorok army, but in some occupied areas, the free habits of the Dorok people are also extremely strict, although they will not compete with the Falcon Army openly, but they also have a lot of small means in secret, which has caused a certain amount of trouble to the army's logistics.
The possibility of encountering the enemy's large-scale guerrilla war in the hinterland of the Dorok Mountains has always been a lingering shadow in the fat man's heart, especially after seeing some treacherous landscapes along the way. His sense of unease was even stronger. ...,
The Ryordian invaded Dorok that year. encountered countless harassment and resistance from mountain people, and finally could only agree to the compromise of marriage, 100,000 German troops in the hinterland of the Dorok Mountains, but also encountered the fierce resistance of the mountain people, and finally fell into the embarrassing forbidden land that could not advance and retreat, and now, the Falcon Army is almost facing the same situation,
The Doroques have never been a submissive people, corresponding to their nickname of the Sons of Liberty. It is the unyielding battle of the Dorok people for hundreds of years, and they are the true masters of this complex mountainous terrain
They look loose, but when faced with outsiders, they are always able to hug tightly.
In the imagination of the fat man. As soon as he entered the mountainous area, guerrillas, death squads, and boy scouts from all walks of life swarmed up, and he and his subordinates were tired of parrying and fighting all day long.
In order to deal with the attacks and resistance of the mountain dwellers, the fat man was even prepared to mobilize the Second Legion of Virtue, which may have a somewhat brutal style, to enter the mountains to fight if necessary.
Most of the soldiers of the Second Legion are iron-blooded Germans, and the commanders are also the elite of the Germans who participated in the original battle against Dorok.
Even the adjutant commander of the Second Army was Toldton himself, who commanded the invasion of the Dorok Mountain Campaign and became the top general on the mainland, and this combination was the best cooperation to suppress the Dorok dissidents
At the end of July, the Second Army had already been transferred to the southern border as a reserve, because in view of the German army's penchant for slaughter, in order to avoid the possibility of causing the Dorok to resist to the death in advance, the fat man did not give the order to attack the Second Army of the Roud for the time being
In an undulating meadow, the fat man stopped his horse, and an almost deserted road appeared before him, among the lush green grass and low bushes beside it. Two mountain people, one old and one young, were grazing on the side of the road with a few sheep.
The coarse cloth worn by the old man was so dirty that he couldn't see his original color, barely enough to cover his lower body around his waist, and his upper body exposed rows of ribs. It was as thin as a sheep, and it looked like a team of skeletons from a distance.
The young man next to him was also hungry and earthy, it was already late autumn, and the mountains had begun to be a little cold, but the boy was only wearing a thin linen shirt that could almost see the ribs, which were full of patches, and the two holes were embarrassingly showing the boy's dry ribs because there were no patches
Seeing a large number of armored cavalrymen appearing in front of them, the old and the young did not dare to raise their heads, their bodies prostrate on the ground and kowtow, their foreheads on the ground and did not dare to raise them.
Their actions made the fat man interested, and he didn't want to disturb the people, but since he met it, he could just ask about the local situation.
One of the guards grabbed the prostrate old man Dorok with his hand, "Raise your head!
The old man looked up, revealing an old, haggard, frightened face, with bark-like wrinkles covered with mud and dirt. He raised his hands high, spread his black, thin fingers like branches, and said quickly,
The fat man only understood a few words, "Master...... Wretched...... Take them all ......."
"What did you say?" the fat man frowned slightly, and asked repeatedly, the old man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and even his voice was trembling, but he was still a little vague and could hear the general meaning, as if he was still begging for something
"Your Majesty, this is the people of the nearby Gollid tribe"
The officer of the Guard, who led the way, leaned over and whispered beside the fat man, "It's a small tribe in the middle of Dorok. The population is only 30,000. But it is said that they are the descendants of the first Dorok hill people who migrated in the first place, and of course, no one in most of Dorok will admit this. Many tribes say that the Golids are an arrogant tribe"...,
"Yes. The original Dorok, this title is a bit interesting!" The fat man nodded, and at this time he understood too much what the old man was saying,
"Leave me a ewe, one ewe is enough! With the ewe, my grandson and I can live! The rest is taken by the adults!"
The fat man's face was a little ugly. He felt that the other party regarded him as a bandit who plundered supplies, and glanced at the skinny young man next to the old man, and the fat man asked in a condensed voice, "I am not a bandit, and I will not plunder, I just want to ask you a few words, is this your grandson?
"Sir, he's dead. The old man's face looked terrified,
"How did you die?" the fat man continued
"He was killed in the parliamentary army. Master. Please, leave me a ewe...... Just one ewe is enough, otherwise I will really starve to death......"
Listened to the old man. The fat man's face showed a heavy face, looking at the old man who was begging for help, the scrawny man and the sheep, his fingers were as black as chicken feet, and a strange mood that had not been seen for a long time flashed in the fat man's heart: "This is such an enemy who is fighting against him!
The fat man was silent for a while, and he wanted to ask the old man why he had left a ewe, and it would take a long time for the ewes to give birth to lambs. During that time, did they eat dirt for a living? But in the end. The fat man still held back, he couldn't bear to persecute this poor old man anymore,
"Let's go!" the fat man waved his hand, and as he left, he asked the guard to throw the old man two pieces of dried meat and a silver coin,
"Your Excellen......cy," the old man was so surprised that his eyes were about to bulge from their sockets. A noble lord didn't snatch his sheep and gave himself money?
"Sir, you ...... You give me money?" the old man looked straight at the fat man. His eyes flickered, as if he had encountered something incredible. For the first time in their lives, the enemy in transit not only did not plunder, but gave them alms.
The fat man smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Take it, there is only so much you can give, there is about to be a war here, let's find another area to stock!"
The fat man turned his head to look at the boy who seemed to be able to run away at a gust of wind, and asked him softly, "How old are you? Don't go to any more councils, there is no future, although they are all brave, but their commander is so bad that they will only let them die in vain."
"No, you're talking nonsense!" Completely different from what the fat man expected, the scrawny Dorok boy suddenly got up from the ground, stood up straight, and shouted two words at the fat man, his expression was very angry.
The guards didn't understand what he was saying, but the face of the guide officer next to him turned white. Seeing that the alien on the other side could not understand, the young man shouted again, this time in the Dorok language, the words were round and clear, "You are talking nonsense, you think that you have really conquered us?
This sentence was like a lightning bolt suddenly hitting the top of his head, the fat man was stunned, since the start of the army, how many proud generals and heroes in the past finally knelt down in front of him, countless local princes saw their battle flags trembling and even fainted, I didn't expect that in this wilderness of the poor mountains, I would encounter such a scene,
A young man with no clothes and no food to eat, skinny and weak, who could collapse from hunger at any moment, was such a man who dared to shout to himself, "Do you think you have really conquered us?"
What kind of people is this! Is the only way to bring them to their knees is to kill them all? The autumn wind swept through the broken grass, and the bushes on the side of the road rattled. ...,
In the silence, a hint of imperceptible murder flashed in the fat man's gloomy eyes. The young man stood there and looked at the fat man without fear, and his gaze did not mean to dodge in the slightest.
"Bastard, what a presumptuous!"
The first to react was the Guards officer who was the guide, and the others, who were still confused because most of them did not understand Dorok, got off his horse and strode towards the boy. With such a terrible expression on his face just now, everyone could see what the guard officer was going to do, and the old man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground like mud, and the corners of his mouth foamed at the mouth. Although the young man was still stiffened in place, his body was obviously trembling a little, and his feet were weak.
The "Boom" sword was pulled out of its scabbard, and the crisp sound of it coming out of the sheath was chilling.
Facing the child's head, the guard officer raised the hilt of his sword diagonally, a very standard oblique slash preparatory action, the smell of blood was already wafting in the wind, as if all his courage had just been used up, the young man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, hugged his head tightly, closed his eyes tightly, but did not cry for mercy.
"Stop," a dull and majestic voice commanded, but a moment too late, the sword light was already descending from the young man's head like lightning
With a crisp metal crash sound resounding throughout the space, countless black filaments suddenly burst out of the young man's half-cut hat, wisps flying in the air, it was not the blood of the young man, but countless severed hair, at the critical moment, the war knife should have been knocked away for some kind of impact, otherwise it would have cut the throat of the pale young man in front of him,
It shouldn't be called a girl, the black silk in the sky undoubtedly proves this, the snow bright war knife was catapulted into the air, and under the confused gaze of everyone, it spun several times before falling,
"Poof" The sharp blade was inserted into the ground, and it was more than a foot deep.
The upside-down handle trembled slightly under everyone's eyes, and at the position of the handle, everyone saw a bronze ring firmly inlaid on it.
It can be seen that at the critical moment, this ring missed the war knife,
"Your Majesty!" The guard officer's face turned slightly pale, and he hurriedly turned around and half-squatted down, the ring that flew his war knife was obviously the Ring of the King of the Falcon Majesty, which should be wearing the finger of the Falcon Majesty, and appeared on his own handle at this moment, which can only prove that the Falcon Majesty flew his own war knife (to be continued.
