The cold Northern Sea, even in the inland autumn of July, is covered with a thin layer of ice without exception, and the area that can be passed by the fleet is only a narrow area about 100 miles near the shore, and a thin layer of cold air floats on the sea surface in the distance, floating like water around the fleet with the sea breeze.

It has been a day since the Falcon Empire's northward fleet entered the Northern Sea, and the seasonal changes in front of them make most people feel like they are dreaming, the snow-capped earth in the distance, and the dead and silent sea in front of it, this is a world that has never been imagined at all,

At first, it was just a change in the sky, the warm sea breeze revealed a little cold, the sunny sky began to become frizzy, and the number of seabirds hovering in the sky quickly decreased, until finally there was a blue sky.

The deck was full of curious falcon soldiers, and the soldiers in the interior were curious about such a scene at first, and everyone rushed to the deck, pointing at the large ice floes that gradually appeared on the sea, and occasionally making a sound of laughter with each other, completely unprepared for the cruel climate of the cold land that was about to enter,

In this era of information development, the soldiers' understanding of the cold land in the north is that it is the end of the earth, and every time this word is mentioned, the soldiers begin to talk excitedly, conquering the end of the earth, what a fascinating move.

Those who can participate in this operation are all descendants of the Central Army, and after careful selection by the fat man, two-thirds of them are elite crossbowmen from the Central Army, and the hoplites who serve as the backbone of the corps are only 5,000 people.

In the cold northern cold region, lightly armed long-range troops are obviously more able to reduce the adverse consequences caused by the influence of the weather than those that are difficult to move in heavy armor, and on the front of the battle line, the cavalry of the Dongting people can completely make up for the weakness of the lack of melee troops, so this time the fat man did not bring cavalry.

As the distance deepened, the fleet crossed the northernmost city of Raldian, such as Linssay, marked by the Northern Sea, and had just passed through this beautiful little city made almost entirely of white granite, when the scene ahead changed rapidly. At first, the sea breeze with a bit of moisture became dry and cold, and it blew on the face like a sharp blade.

On the whirring sea, the sudden and strong sea wind blew the sails of the warships engraved with the Falcon Navy logo into a hemispherical shape, and the speed of the fleet was suddenly a little confused, and the fleet issued an order to lower the half-sails, for the sake of safety. In addition to the sailors, the other falcon soldiers on the deck returned to the cabin, and only a few of them still stuck to their posts.

The army was given cold clothes before departure, but the inland soldiers, who had never experienced such cold, still felt cold enough, and everyone huddled together to keep warm, or told all kinds of jokes in the cold cabin, but it was only for one night. The deck corridors of the cabins are filled with crystal clear ice,

Each ship had frostbite of different degrees, some of them one or two. There were more than a dozen, and the largest number was the transport ship Carlinston, because this transport ship also carried a certain amount of fresh water, so as the waves became bigger and bigger, some fresh water cleared the nearby cabin, and more than 30 soldiers in the cabin were wet, resulting in a large-scale frostbite incident

At noon on July 30, the fleet finally entered the area of the southeastern headland.

The fat man stood on the bridge of a dragon-class battleship, staring at the sea covered with thin ice in front of him. With his eyebrows slightly furrowed, the cold sea breeze blowing through his black hair, like a standing battle flag attracting the attention of sailors around him, on the side of this dragon-class battleship, the huge northward fleet composed of sixty Imperial Inland Sea Guard Fleets was breaking through the wind and waves, like a scimitar cutting through the ice in front of the sea. Rushing out of the ice floes that fill the sea,...,

"I really didn't expect that there is such a beautiful sea in the world!" Looking at the vast and endless frozen sea in front of him, Hu Lun Feilin, who was standing next to the fat man and commanding the fleet, stared at the distance with a burning look with crescent-like eyes, Hu Lun Feilin, who had always been accustomed to showing a small waist, changed into a slim short robe with a white velvet and blue background at this moment,

The elegant outfit accentuated her outstanding face and tanned delicate skin, exuding a scorching youth and enviable health, and her beautiful black hair poured down like two small waterfalls on her knife-like fragrant shoulders, which was unusually beautiful.

"In the past, I have heard the elders mention that there is an icy sea in the far north, no matter how skilled the sailor, how powerful the warship, as long as you enter this frozen sea, you must lower the half sail of the ship to salute the sea god to pass safely, at that time, it was a legend, but I never thought that there would really be a day when I came here."

The fat man listened to Hu Lunfeilin's pleasant voice, and smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, "If it weren't for the fact that I heard you mention this matter in my ears as a curiosity, I really couldn't think of a way to enter the northern cold land by sea, now it's okay, it's easy, we have crossed the defensive zone that the northlanders rely on as natural danger, and went straight into their inland hinterland, and now I really want to know what kind of expression Asu Russia will have when we know that we have landed on the southeast headland!"

"I heard that Asu Russia is also a generation of heroes, and he was tricked by His Majesty like this, I'm afraid that I will hit the wall in annoyance" Hu Lun Feilin blinked a little mischievously, and said with a salty and uneasy mouth, and her thick eyelashes added a little depth and unpredictability to her seductive gaze like rippling moonlight, "I heard that when His Majesty was making a plan, he also sent Rui Tang Tingna's Dongting army to attack the northern defense line, don't you believe that my Hu Lun Clan's fleet can complete this transportation mission?!"

may be due to nature, Hu Lunfeilin, the little demon girl on the sea, has always been the strongest and most independent among all the women, and only she dares to say such words

"How is this possible, my film has always been the best" The fat man's face was slightly stunned, he was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at the frozen sea in the distance, and said slowly, "This time I sent the Dongting army to attack the northern defense line, many people thought that it was related to my sinking in Rui Tangtingna's beauty country, but it was not what you thought"

"Could it be that there are other reasons" Hu Lun Feilin wrinkled his delicate little nose, and there was a faint sour taste in his words, "I heard that Dongting was able to get the opportunity to send troops this time, in addition to being a critical northern cold land, but also because before the war, the beautiful and charming eldest princess of Dongting was by His Majesty's side for more than half a month, and His Majesty was finally fascinated by the beauty before giving the order." If this is the case, His Majesty will not be afraid that as soon as this case is opened, it will be difficult to be peaceful in the future, and the sisters will compete for favor for personal gain......"

Huren Filin's voice stopped. Two blush flew on her pretty face, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at the fat man, and said a little teasingly, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty also likes this kind of unevenness."

"Ahem, what is this!" The fat man coughed embarrassedly at Hu Lun Feilin's words, and said embarrassedly, "This matter is really not what you think, you also know that the people of Dongting are a very vindictive people, during the Tulun War." In addition to our army's containment in front, there are also Northland people who stabbed the Dongting people in the back, and only then did the Dongting finally have to conform to the shape shì to annex the empire, although now the Dongting people have adapted to the rule of the empire, but they have never forgotten the stab in the back of the Northland people,

This time, they tried their best to ask for war, and instead of suppressing the escalation of the contradictions, it was better to push the boat down the river and agree to them. They can be used to attract the attention of the Northlanders, or they can be used to weaken the military strength of the Eastern Court's various departments, otherwise. Once the various divisions of the Eastern Court have regained their strength, in the absence of sufficient suppressive power, a civil strife will inevitably break out in order to compete for the interests of the grassland, and it is better to let them consume some of it in this war."

"Civil strife?Does Majesty mean that the people of Dongting will kill each other?" Hu Lun Feilin blinked his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that with His Majesty's strength, it is not enough to control the people of Dongting?"

"The grassland has lost the wolf king, and now the wolves are rising together, and there is an undercurrent surging under the short-term peace," the fat man glanced at her meaningfully. With a deep sigh, he said, "The Dongting Prairie is a bit beyond the reach of the Empire, even if the control power of the Empire is only a nominal control of the vast Dongting Grassland, the Dongting people are not the West Kugit who have been hit hard, and the military strength of the various departments of the Dongting is still strong, even I dare not arbitrarily propose a decree to reduce their military strength." What I have done is to do my best to slow down the outbreak of civil unrest and give the empire more time to prepare."

A loud voice came from the front of the "Majesty", the general of the Central Army, Hu Keqili, walked over from the front deck with an excited face, the commander in charge of the assault, had already put on the armor, in order to keep out the cold, he was wrapped in a thick fluffy fur armor in addition to the armor, and after saluting the fat man, he said, "According to the report of the clipper ship ahead, the southeast cape is less than 2 hours away from us, and if we have a qiē shun lì, we can launch a landing between the sun and the sun."

"Oh, so fast!" A trace of astonishment flashed on the fat man's face, he groped with a solemn expression, and took out a golden arrow cluster from his arms, this arrow cluster is about 20 centimeters long, the whole is made of gold, and it is inlaid with countless small cold diamonds, and countless small patterns are engraved on the edge of the arrow cluster, and the smooth lines on the arrow cluster are touched by hand to reveal a simple atmosphere,

The fat man handed this to Hu Keqili and said, "Order the first batch of troops to board the road to hang this on the battle flag, this is the golden arrow order of the three masters of Hulan Bei, with it, our dispatch of troops to Hulan Bei is justified!"

"Yes, my subordinates know what to do!" Hukochili nodded cautiously,

Two hours later, the fat man looked at it from a distance of three hundred meters from the southeast headland, it was a huge inner arc bay, like an inverted bottle, with a small mouth and a big belly, and the reef that abruptly emerged on both sides was like a pair of giant's arms around the outside, and the narrow entrance was full of waves and waves, like boiling water.

The fleet came to a halt outside the southeastern headland, and on the cliffs on either side of the headland entrance, several watchtowers erected by the Asu-Russians were knocking deadly, apparently discovering the fleet's intentions

"Order the fleet to clear the entrance!" the fat man commanded with a calm expression, boom, boom, boom, as if lightning streaked across the sky, and Thor on the four dragon-class battleships full of Thor did not hesitate to start shooting.

The thunder cannonballs that roared like a torrential rain landed on the two wings of the headland, stirring up high columns of water. Several Asou Russian watchtowers were suddenly blown up, countless rubble mixed with flesh and blood flew into the sky, the sound of cannons continued for a full ten minutes, and there were no traces of Asu-Russian people on both sides of the entrance to the southeast headland.

"Inform the ships. Advance according to the order of the fleet! The supply ship will dock to the left, and the troop carrier will dock to the right." Hu Lunfilin changed his relaxation just now, held the steering wheel tightly in his hand, and personally issued a clear and resolute order word by word, and the flag speaker hurriedly passed the order in the flag language.

The entrance is in sight. Everyone's palms were sweating nervously, and the warship rushed to the beach with the waves, and the huge hull of the ship shook violently, as if something was scraping the bottom of the ship. The hull of the ship seemed to be about to spread out at any moment, but it still rushed forward like an arrow. Until it hit the shoreline headlong, as if a flying bird had hit the inside of a spider's web, the increasing resistance made the battleship stop with difficulty.

Because of the action of inertia. Everything on the deck was brushed and fell to the front. The fat man is also a stumbling body, and if he doesn't grasp it steadily, he will almost fall. Huren Filin seems to have long since adapted to this kind of collision, with the steering wheel in hand. It was not until the turmoil had ceased that the fat man found that the tidal flats were full of rushing ships, most of which were deep in the mud, but they had not suffered too much impact,...,

Occasionally, there was a little bit of damage, but overall, there was no major damage. Of course. The fleet is completely stranded. Getting these ships back to sea is a headache

"It's okay, just wait until the late tide. We, the Hulun clan, have a way to drag the battlefield out!" seemed to see the fat man's concern, Hulun Feilin sneered at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as bright as a crescent, revealing extremely powerful confidence

In the next few seconds, some of the warships that followed up also washed up on the beach, and some even cut deep into the beach almost by the side of the flagship, and like the flagship, they did not suffer major damage, but all the people on board were staggered,

"Whew" a huge catapult was thrown from a small fortress not far away. reminded everyone that the battle had just begun, and due to the angle, Thor on the dragon-class battleship could no longer hit the position of the small fortress.

"Organize a strong attack immediately!" the fat man personally stood on the deck of the flagship and commanded, and Hukochili quickly organized a group of heavy infantry that had just disembarked from the ship. The crossbowmen who disembarked from the ships lined up to cover the advance of the heavy infantry

"Forward!" The falcon heavy soldiers held high-quality shields made of stainless steel, staring at the oncoming rain of arrows and pushing forward, while the crossbowmen behind dodged the rain of arrows while quickly counterattacking forward, but because of the blocking of the opponent's fortress wall, the effect was obviously not very good before the enemy's archer position was detected, and more and more people were injured under the dense bow and arrows.

"It's the cold archers!" When he saw that the range of the opponent's shot was almost equal to that of the crossbowmen, Hukochili's mind sounded a class that could be compared to the thorn thorn longbowmen, in the ancient northern cold, the hunters were far more powerful than the interior, and they used ancient but practical longbows made of yin wood,

These bows and arrows are similar to the Thorn Thorn Tile longbows, and have a long range, reaching a maximum range of about one hundred and fifty meters, which is almost not inferior to the range of the Imperial crossbow

"Boom!" A shocking rumble suddenly came from the sea, it was the only Dragon-class battleship that had not yet docked,

Its task is of course to escort the landing, who knew that the landing was so smooth, almost no resistance was encountered, but the other party's fortress on the landing site did make the exhausted Falcon Army, who had just been adrift on the sea for a few days, feel a little tricky

The "boom" explosion set off a wave of air, and the fortress of the Asou Russians was an inner groove with its back against the cliff wall, so the speeding cannonballs did not hit the front of the fortress, but only splashed a piece of debris on the cliff wall on its side and flew down.

"Damn, hell!" Thor rangefinder angrily carefully judged the angle of the other party again, in order to judge the location of the archers in the fortress, but obviously, the position of the opponent's fortress was too difficult, and almost most of it was blocked by the cliff, so he said several positions in a row, and only saw explosions on the side or side, and the archers in the fortress seemed to be frightened, and the dense arrow rain suddenly became a lot rarer

During this hectic time, the soldiers who had driven down from the warship hill gathered methodically on the gravel beach in front of the breakwater.

Although some people were wounded, the overall losses were not large, and the Asou people were not strong enough to block the Falcon Army's advance in the southeastern headland.

At the critical moment of "turning 11 degrees to the left and jumping 2 degrees", the artillery fire from the sea finally played a vital role.

A Thor's cannonball, which seemed to deviate from the norm, landed on the side of the fortress, and this time, probably due to multiple heavy blows, the side of the fortress collapsed, revealing the cold archers who were struggling to shoot inside...,

"Order to continue the shelling at the same position and open the gap for me!" The fat man looked excited and ordered the dragon class at sea to keep shooting at an angle,

There was a burst of rolling thunder like a row of cannons, and the 32 Thor guns on the side of the dragon class shot out deadly flames at the same time, booming, the flames soared into the sky, and in the dense explosion, the gap on the side of the enemy's small fortress was torn open again, expanded, and finally turned into a complete collapse

"Cover the shot!" The falcon crossbowmen who followed the team half-crouched down,

Countless bowstrings were pulled apart, and the sound of dense crumbling bowstrings vibrating, and the white lines of arrows slicing through the sky formed a breathtaking spectacle, and the enemies under the gap in the fortress screamed

"Assemble, assault!" the Falcon hoplites, seizing the opportunity, shouted and rushed to the collapsed gap of the fortress, drowning the small fortress like locusts,

On the evening of July 30, the 20,000 troops of the Falcon Empire arrived at the southeast headland under the personal leadership of the Vechia Falcon, because most of the troops were drawn to confront the Dongting people in the front, and the army strength of the southeast headland was less than 2,000 people.

In front of tens of thousands of landing troops, they were broken like blowers,

After the inland fleet unloaded all kinds of supplies, it immediately built a simple supply port on the southeast headland as a strategic point for inland control of the north.

When the news of the loss of the fortress of the southeast cape came, all the tribes of the Northland were in an uproar, and the faces of Asu Russia were even more dead.

The Dongting army was pressing forward step by step, and the falcon army stabbed deeply in the waist and eye, and the form of the Hulanbei area took a sharp turn.

In this case, some of the Northland tribes that had chosen to be honest with the Asou Russians showed signs of being ready to move.

On August 10, 130 miles away from the city of Hulanbe, in Kurbos, 17 tribes in the Hulanbe region secretly convened a meeting of their leaders (to be continued). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
