A black spot appeared in the distance, gradually becoming clear from blur. It was a cavalry of scouts. It could be seen from the military uniform that it belonged to the empire. The horse was riding very fast. As the sound of horse hooves approached, the men in military uniforms also stepped forward to greet them. The scout flew off his horse and gave a standard military salute before making a report. The official named Huang looked at him from a distance and just sighed silently. He naturally Knowing what news this scout came to report, the Dodon people finally arrived.
Time seemed to be a little full at this moment. After a while, rows of thick black shadows finally appeared on the horizon. Compared with the speed of the scouts, these black shadows moved much slower, but As time went by, these black shadows gradually formed a team with completely different costumes from the imperial army, marching in the direction of everyone with neat steps.
The dark red robe is wrapped in light armor. The angular helmet is very different from the round helmet commonly used by the empire. Several pieces of iron leaf armor cover the vital parts of the chest and abdomen, which is also different from the breast protection used by the empire. Differently, the Dodon people from the eastern part of the Liberia Plain are not as tall and strong as the Puer and Kaman people, but they are still half a head taller than the soldiers of the Imperial Army, and their weapons are more integrated with the Eastern and Western continents. Characteristics include both heavy sword and shield warriors and oriental-style sword and buckler warriors. Officer surnamed Jiang diligently observed this army, trying to discover some of their strengths and weaknesses.
The three fast horses quickly overtook the straight-forward team and galloped towards the high slope where the group of people were standing. The horses were very fast and seemed to have no intention of stopping. The officer surnamed Huang behind him looked slightly displeased, but the officer surnamed Jiang and several soldiers remained motionless, staring indifferently at the three cavalrymen who were approaching.
The third horse suddenly stood up a few meters in front of a group of people, reining in the horse so hard that the strong horse couldn't help but roar wildly. The front hooves soared into the air, and the sound of wind they brought hit their faces, causing slight pain in the faces of all the people. With a look of admiration in his eyes, one of the knights led him off his horse, and he dismounted gracefully. When he came closer, he seemed to notice that the officers surnamed Jiang and the officers surnamed Huang were the leaders of the group, and waved a beautiful military salute. , "Gerhart, deputy commander of the Duodun Kingdom's Biao Guards!" Although Tang He's language is not very standard, it is still quite satisfactory.
Officer surnamed Jiang is also a standard military salute reply. "Jiang Bingguo, the staff officer of the First Army Corps of the Tanghe Empire, has been ordered to welcome your army into the country. Your army will pass through our army's defense area. Following the order of the army commander, I will lead your army through our defense area and enter the designated area."
The establishment of the King of Doton Army is slightly different from that of other countries. Its corps-level establishment does not code numbers according to numbers, but is named according to their own titles. Of course, external and corps-level establishments are still replaced by numbers. The entire Wang ** Corps is divided into five corps, namely the Huwei Corps, the Xiongwei Corps, the Leopardwei Corps, the Biaowei Corps, and the Langxing Corps, in addition to these five main corps. There are also two reserve corps that have not been awarded titles, but once they are put into regular battlefields, they will need to be given supplementary titles. In addition to the Huwei Corps, which has been stationed in the capital of the kingdom, the Bear Guards Corps has been stationed in the north for a long time, guarding the territory of the Boyin people. The Leopard Guards Corps was originally stationed in the Crescent Peninsula, the Biao Guards Corps was stationed in the southern border area with the Empire, and the Wolf Guards Corps was stationed in the south. It is the emergency corps, which is the national general reserve force. Mainly fast cavalry.
Due to the fall of the Crescent Peninsula due to Japanese raids, the national security of the Dodon Kingdom was greatly challenged, and the Dodon Kingdom immediately entered a state of war. The two reserve corps were immediately converted into regular corps, and were awarded the Ape Fighting Corps and the Peacock Corps. Among them, the Phoenix Corps was an alien corps. They belonged to the Phoenix tribe living in the area near the northern end of the Atlantic Ocean. They used the phoenix as their emblem. Duodun After the founding of the kingdom, they intermarried with the Dodon royal family and have always surrendered to the Dodon royal family. However, they rarely intervened in the internal affairs of the Dodon kingdom. They would only form the Phoenix Corps to serve the kingdom when the kingdom faced a crisis.
However, the Japanese raid caused the Doton people to lose their best defensive position. The Japanese who strangled the Crescent Peninsula's throat built a huge fortress in the middle of the Crescent Peninsula and stuck it tightly. The Doton people paid an extremely heavy price. After that, they still failed to make any progress, and some powerful figures in the Dodon Kingdom's domestic military also put forward some different opinions. Instead of consuming the national military power with the Japanese in the narrow area of Crescent Peninsula, it is better to go south to seize a wider area of praise. land and interests. This opinion happened to be met by Situ Tai who came to seek support. The two sides hit it off immediately. Situ Tai, who had already secretly colluded with the Japanese, was even more enthusiastic to bridge the gap between the two sides, hoping that the two sides would stop fighting. Although both sides had different positions. Due to the huge differences, they could not reach an agreement, but the goal of shelving the Crescent Peninsula dispute and fully supporting Situ Tai in seizing the throne of the Tanghe Empire was unanimously agreed upon by the three parties. Of course, as for what price Situ Tai would pay after seizing the throne? Not known.
The drought that affected the entire Eastern Continent had far less impact on the Dodon Kingdom in the northeastern corner of the continent than other countries in the Eastern Continent. Instead, it was because the Puer and Tang River Empire suffered a huge impact from the drought that the Dodon people were able to function more effectively. Due to its influence, the bloody battle with the Japanese caused the Doton people to suffer small losses, but the Doton people also relied on this battle to allow several of their regiments that had not been in battle for a long time to receive a rare baptism of training, which also allowed the Doton people to Seeing the gap in their own army, the Dodon people also tilted the national finances towards the military in the following year. The strength of the army rose instead of falling. This is why the Dodon people were invited to join the empire.
Facing the imperial officer's unassuming reply, the somewhat reserved Duodun soldier restrained some of his arrogance, looked at the other person up and down, and nodded slightly: "Well, I hope that I can have a happy cooperation with your army and achieve our common goals. .”
His heart twitched slightly, and the imperial officer named Jiang felt a little bitter in his mouth. The common goal? Is it our own purpose to invite foreign enemies to help us fight civil war? This feeling was indeed uncomfortable, but as an officer's bounden duty was to obey orders, he had no choice.
"This is Mr. Huang Heping, the Director of Internal Affairs of our Yanshan Prefecture. He will be responsible for coordinating all affairs of your army passing through the Yanshan Prefecture. He will also be responsible for solving logistical problems." The officer surnamed Jiang used his eyes to signal the official surnamed Huang not to go too far. Revealing his hostility, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble at this time. After all, the Duodun people were invited by his own side. Right and wrong are also decisions made by the superiors. The people below are powerless to change these decisions and cannot make mistakes in these details. Get into trouble with the other person.
"Haha, I'm here to help you two. I hope we can have a happy cooperation." The handsome officer Dodon saluted politely, seemingly unaware of the resistance of the official named Huang. He jumped on his horse and waved his hand suddenly, and the orderly soldiers waved the flag. The team that had slowed down suddenly sped up and passed in front of everyone like a rolling torrent.
Looking at all this, the official surnamed Huang shook his head sadly. The civil war has not ended, and there are foreign enemies. Is the empire destined to stir up endless bloodshed in the hinterland of the Central Plains? The Duodun people have already come in, and what about the Japanese
Lin Yuexin, Su Tai, Wang Liao and others, all dressed up as men, did not let go of the heavy boulder until they saw Wu Feng's figure finally entering the protected area of their guards. The guards on both sides formed a tight circle. The people of the Iron Blood Battalion also intentionally expanded the protective circle to prevent possible accidents.
The silent Wu Feng's gloomy face gave Lin Yuexin an ominous premonition. However, being so smart, she did not ask about the negotiation situation immediately, but just silently accompanied Wu Feng on a walk on the stone path inside the circle. . Wu Feng, who had originally planned to visit Fengze Yuan after the meeting, no longer had that interest. Situ Biao's ambiguous attitude added many variables to his original plan. The promise he made to Situ Yuan seemed to be broken. A question mark. Looking at this trend, Situ Biao may even reach a compromise with Situ Tai and the empire's elders and nobles on Situ Tai's accession to the throne. He has to guard against this move.
Straight out of the circle and boarded the car, the cavalry immediately started, the car rolled and rolled, whipping up a gust of wind and headed west.
Seeing that the lover's face beside her had gradually returned to calmness, and even had a hint of determination, Lin Yuexin leaned on his shoulder and asked cautiously: "Has there been any change in Wu Feng?"
"Well, Situ Biao has changed his mind. It seems that the benefits promised to him by Situ Tai and the others are not small. We are really in the right place in the Imperial Capital this time. If we let these losers from the Situ family join forces, we will really do it again. He has caused us a lot of trouble." Wu Feng snorted softly from his nose, but the cold smile at the corner of his mouth lingered, "What is supposed to come will always come. I originally wanted to let him go and wait until I can deal with it. Let Situ Tai and the others weigh him again, it seems he wants to take the first step, so I can't blame him."
Shocked, Lin Yuexin thought about the meaning of her lover's words, "Wufeng, have you already had a showdown? If there is no showdown, I think we should wait and see. Taking action against Wuhu first is not the best choice."
"Yue Xin, why would I want to make this choice, but the situation is beyond our control. If Situ Tai gets the support of Situ Biao, he will definitely be able to ascend the throne. By then he will become righteous. If we launch an attack against him, we will be relatively passive morally. But if we attack Wuhu, the moral responsibility we bear will be much lighter. Well, let’s see first, there is still a week left, I think we can still think of another way, but we may really have to prepare for the worst militarily. Yes." Wu Feng, who was leaning against the window rail, looked extremely serious.
