under the new city.
The blocked city gate had been reopened after the decisive battle a few days ago.
Outside the new city, the battlefield has been cleaned up in a few days, but above the wilderness, there seems to be a faint smell of blood, permeating the earth, and it will not disperse for a long time!
Even if you are standing in the wilderness outside the city at this moment, you can still hear the thrilling fight a few days ago! Those screams and howls seemed to be still beside my ears, the ground under my feet, the snow and ice had already melted, fused with blood, and deeply penetrated into the soil...
This land seems to have turned a faint red!
The original camp of the Chixue Army outside the new city had already been burnt to the ground!
…
In the battle a few days ago, the Chixue Army started a decisive battle, but the development of the battle made the Chixue Army... even the defenders watching the battle on the top of the city were a little surprised!
From the beginning of the decisive battle, the Byzantine army almost pressed the Chixue army to fight!
The Byzantine army was the first to fight here with the infantry of the 1st Corps under Green's command. However, more than 10,000 people have steadily crushed the 30,000 Chixue Army!
In the battle between the two armies, Chi Xuejun was beaten and retreated! The Byzantine army charged six times, won six battles and won six victories, and actually killed the Odins, who had always been known for being good at fighting.
Such a scene, not only the defenders who were watching the battle on the city wall did not understand, but even Miss Nene who was also standing on the city wall at that time did not understand!
Only the leaders of the various tribes in the Chixue Army finally came back to their senses at that time!
Low morale! Make your own combat power lose three points before starting the fight!
But once the war started, if it was originally a battle, Xia Ya's first corps were all infantry, infantry against infantry, and the number of the first corps was small. Festival back!
The only explanation is that the Chixue Army is at odds with each other!
When Manninger was there, Chi Xuejun had such a strong leader as him, and naturally he could show a sincere and united look. But when Manninger died, each tribe had their own thoughts and ambitions to fight for the throne. No one was willing to die in battle! They all have a bit of a mentality to preserve their strength...
In the decisive battle, fighting for life and death, if you still have this kind of mind, it is simply looking for death!
What's more, the whole army does not have a unified command. After the fight, almost the soldiers of each tribe fight independently, and there is no cooperation at all! Is there any reason not to lose in such a fight? !
However, after half a day of fierce fighting, the previously aggressive Chixue Army was defeated and retreated, and the orders were different from each other.
As a result, after six battles and six defeats, once the troops retreated, they could no longer gather again.
After the infantry of the 1st Corps pressed the Chixue Army for half a day, Xia Ya's cavalry was dispatched and directly detoured to the side, giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry's fast mobility and powerful impact! From the flank, it slammed into the Chi Xue Army's army, the cavalry rushed into the formation, and the Chi Xue Army collapsed completely.
If it was in the past, Chi Xuejun would never lose this fast! Infantry versus cavalry, even if it is a field battle, if the formation is rigorous, it will never give the opponent such a big loophole!
But the problem is that the current Chixue Army does not have a commander in charge of the overall situation!
A group of people fought their own way. Although the Odin warriors were not weak individually, they became a group of rabble after all.
The cavalry attacked and broke the formation in one fell swoop. After the Chixue Army collapsed, it was a thousand miles away!
Immediately, Xia Ya personally led the cavalry to chase and kill along the road to expand the victory!
After all, two legs can't run on four legs. Xia Ya's cavalry chased and chased them all the way, and the Chixue army they killed had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground!
In fact, Chi Xuejun did not die much during the decisive battle, but most of the casualties were in the rout that followed.
At the end of the run, the Odins, who were exhausted from running, couldn't run anymore, so they simply surrendered.
Fourteen thousand beheaded and thirty thousand prisoners!
Since then, the banner of Chi Xuejun has been removed from the mainland!
And then, after disarming all the prisoners and gathering them, Xia drove them to the original Chixue Army camp, and after starving these guys for a whole day and night... she gave an order directly!
pit!
Such a cruel order, when Xia Ya said it, her eyelids didn't even blink!
At this moment, all talents truly felt the cruel and ruthless side of this commander! !
That night, in the wilderness outside the new city, the sound of wailing and screaming soared into the sky! Almost all the stars in the sky will be shaken off!
Those mournful cries made even the most hard-hearted people change their color!
But the only one, Marshal Xia Ya, looked indifferent and didn't even twitch the corners of his eyes!
Thirty thousand people, all buried alive, none left!
The Byzantine army has never had such a tradition of slaughtering prisoners of war. Even veteran generals like Green, who were used to fighting, couldn't help but object to Char's cruelty and tried to persuade Char to change his mind.
But Char's answer was only one sentence.
"Where do we have food to feed these 30,000 people!"
This sentence alone blocked all Green's words!
food! Where is the surplus food to feed these Odin captives
At this moment, after the war, almost all the food in Syltan County was exhausted! The rest of the family is not enough for people who want to support themselves!
Thirty thousand prisoners of war are more than thirty thousand mouths to eat!
With Char's order, from now on, there will be tens of thousands of orphans and widows in the Basak tribe in the Odin Empire.
Xia Ya doesn't care whether others say that he is cruel behind his back, he has no other choice anyway... And killing these Odins, he has no burden in his heart!
He and the Odins have always had hatred, and the Odins invaded the south. Since they have the courage to be the invaders, they must have the consciousness to suffer the fate of the invaders!
The Chixue Army occupied Syltan County, ravaged the area, and I don't know how many lives were smeared. The originally rich Syltan County was tossed by the Chixue Army in just half a year.
Who has pity on those who died under the knife of the Odins
After Xia had dealt with the prisoners of war, he immediately ordered that Sharba's cavalry immediately divided into two groups, heading south all the way, sweeping the rest of Syltan County and recovering the territory. The other way was handed over to Sogel to lead, heading eastward toward the Corsica Military District! At this moment, with the posture of a great victory, I just happened to clear the Corsica Military Region in one breath!
With Sogel's knowledge of the Corsica region and his former prestige, it was naturally a storm to conquer the Corsica military region.
…
Hit more with less, beat the strong with the weak, and win the battle!
Since the war, the famous Chixue Army has been annihilated, and then Xi Ya's army has passed all the way, almost every town in the Syltan County area is different! The main force of the Chixue Army has been annihilated, so although there are still a few remaining Odin defenders in various places, where can they turn the situation over? And in some places, the local surrendered troops simply mustered up the courage to open the city gate to welcome Xi Ya's army into the city.
Almost in a few days, the whole of Syltan County was calm!
It was more than half a month after the war in Syltan County ended, and Xi Ya welcomed a group of guests from the south in Xincheng.
The legendary governor's wife of the Besta Military Region actually led a mission in person, all the way north to Xincheng, and met with Xia Ya to discuss important matters!
Xi Ya was also a little surprised by the arrival of this glamorous and moving governor's wife in person.
Originally, the two families made some covenants, but after Xi Ya returned from the Besta Military Region, he immediately launched a war against Manninger. Although on the one hand, he was forced by the situation, on the other hand, objectively speaking , and indeed did not have time to say hello to this ally in the south.
The original plan of the two parties to jointly plan the Chixue Army after the beginning of the spring was completely abandoned.
More importantly, in the previous plans of the two conspiracies, there was one agreement. The lady clearly had the idea of the Corsica military region: this, from the fact that the governor's wife left the last governor of the Corsica military region, Master Gaia, is enough to see her plan.
Unexpectedly, Xiaya's actions here are so fast!
In the winter, he forcibly launched an offensive, bucking the trend, and actually created a miracle. He defeated the forces of the Chixue Army in one fell swoop, and then swept the army down, not only occupied Syltan County, but also sent Sogel. The old man of the Corsica Military District ran all the way to clean up the homeland of the Corsican Military District...
As a result, the great plan of the governor's wife was completely lost!
At first, the two negotiated to start together, but as a result, Mr. Xia Ya ran to nibble on the victory without saying a word - and with Xia Ya's temperament and the fat in the mouth, how can you easily spit it out
He was sitting in Xincheng. In fact, the mission of the Besta Military Region in the south passed through the border. When he first entered Syltan County, Xi Ya received a report from his cavalry.
It's just that Xiaya had already predicted that the governor's wife would not give up so easily, but she took the initiative without telling others, and even ate all the benefits... At this time, the spit out was Don't think about it, even if Xia Ya is willing, how can the bloody soldiers under his command agree
Xiaya deliberately ordered his cavalry to "escort" the mission along the way, and slowly went to the new city to see him. If he wants to move faster, he must occupy the entire territory of Corsica before the mission of the Besta military district reaches the new city to meet him, so as to create a fait accompli.
Presumably at that time, the smart and cunning Governor's wife will have nothing to say in the face of reality.
With this thought in mind, Xiaya sent the cavalry to "escort" the mission along the way, and deliberately slowed down along the way. Although the road was difficult in winter, after all, the mission itself also said that the cavalry was from the Besta Military Region. Crossing the border and arriving at the new city, if you hurry up, you will arrive in ten days, but under the secret advice of Xi Ya, under the "escort" of the cavalry along the way, the original journey of up to ten days has been able to walk for more than half a month. Finally arrived at the new city.
Knowing that the embassy had entered the new city, Xiaya in the city wanted to shirk his busy military affairs, and had no time to receive the envoy for the time being, so he made an excuse to delay it for two more days.
But Xia Ya never expected that the Governor's wife was actually in the mission! The dignified Besta Military Region's talker actually came to his own territory in person!
The Governor's wife is also really good! She concealed her identity and lurked in the embassy all the way, but she didn't even notice it. Even the cavalry that Xi Ya sent to escort and monitor along the way didn't notice it. It was not until the embassy entered the new city that the governor's wife showed her identity and asked to see Xi Ya.
If it was an ordinary messenger, Xia Ya would be shameless to shirk it, but the big boss of the family came in person, and Xia Ya was really embarrassed to make any excuses for not seeing them.
Finally, right after the envoy entered the city, Xiaya immediately met the legendary governor's wife in the garrison in the city.
The county governor in the new city was originally the county governor's office in Syltan County. Syltan County is rich. The county governor's natural building is magnificent and majestic. It can be called a luxurious mansion, and the Chixue Army occupied it. After that, such a place was naturally owned by Manninger unceremoniously. The Odins did not like the luxurious Byzantine style, so this mansion was rough and majestic when he lived in Manninger, and the walls were covered with various animal skins and Odin-style bone tools. Sculptures can be seen everywhere, and even a large courtyard in the original mansion has been turned into a wrestling field for the Odins.
The former county governor was quite elegant, and a lot of precious flowers and plants were transplanted in the courtyard. After being occupied by the Odins, the precious flowers and plants in the courtyard were all used by the Chixue Army as feed for the reindeer. .
When Xia Ya entered the city, the mansion still smelled like barbarians, and the tents in the yard had not been cleaned up.
Xia Ya itself is not a person who pays attention to enjoyment, and this mansion also temporarily lived in a careless manner. Just to receive such a glamorous and noble governor's wife here makes Xia Ya feel a little embarrassed.
After all, when I was a guest there, they were kind to me, with a small feast every three days and a large feast every five days. Now, to receive a distinguished guest in such a dilapidated place, I felt that my face was dull.
But no matter how embarrassed, I still want to see someone.
When returning to the governor's wife, Xiaya was only thinking about a difficult problem: if the governor's wife accused herself of not abiding by the covenant after meeting, or asked to intervene in the territory of the Corsica Military Region, how should she deal with it...
With such thoughts, when the two first met, Xia Ya was obviously absent-minded.
The Governor's wife was wearing a leather armor. Originally, she had transformed into an ordinary official in the embassy. She hid in the team and dressed in men's clothing. When we met at this moment, she didn't have time to change her clothes. When Xia Ya walked into the courtyard under the leadership of his personal guard, he saw that the governor's wife was wearing a leather hat. Her long hair was hidden under the brim of the hat, and the charming and seductive face The face of the person is also quite weathered. Obviously, it has not been less hard to come here. He is dressed in the attire of an ordinary officer, and the wide leather robe covers the curves of the graceful figure, but when he walked in, he took a step. One step, but still with a seductive demeanor.
The thing that made Xia a little afraid to look directly was the woman's eyes.
There is a three-point smile in his eyes, but a seven-point strangeness.
When the two met, Xia Ya's expression was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to say something, the Governor's wife had already taken two steps, gave a flat salute, and spoke in a slightly hoarse and tired voice, but instead there was such a sullen voice. Lazy taste.
"Lord Marshal Xia Ya is truly unparalleled in martial arts. In this battle, the Chixue Army was wiped out, and the father and son of Chief Manninger were also beheaded. This is a great victory the empire has never had in decades! In the mainland, no one dares to face up to the majesty of the Marshal." After speaking, the Governor's wife slowly bowed her body and said softly, "Your majesty, the Marshal, is truly admirable!"
Xia Ya laughed dryly, her thoughts were racing through her mind, and she was thinking about how she would excuse herself if this woman brought up the Corsican military region... But at this moment, the next sentence of the governor's wife, But it immediately made Xia stunned!
The Governor's wife raised her body, looked into Xiaya's eyes, and took a deep breath: "Maybe your lord doesn't know yet? Just a few days ago, I received an urgent report that the situation in the imperial capital has changed dramatically!"
Xia was stunned.
He never imagined that when the governor's wife met him, she did not talk about the two covenants, the county of Syltane, or the ownership of the Corsica military region—the first thing she mentioned was the situation in Osgilia
Xia Ya was just stunned for a moment, and then his face became serious immediately, and he looked at this woman closely. He knew very well that this woman's intelligence channels were vast, and the information was ten times better than his own! At this moment, the other party solemnly said that there must be a huge change in Osgilia!
Xia Ya took a deep breath and looked at the woman with a straight face: "Please speak!"
The Governor's wife smiled softly, and then spoke word by word.
"More than a month ago, the Landis army of 30,000 landed in the imperial capital, and the remnants of the defenders commanded by General Adric in the city formed a defensive posture. Outside the city. Afterwards, the two sides fought in the city for three days. The rebels retreated steadily, and most of them were expelled from the city! Osgilia has recovered!"
Xia Ya's body was shocked when he heard it, and his expression suddenly became a little cheery, staring at the governor's wife in front of him: "Really?!"
The Governor's wife smiled coquettishly: "How dare I hide such a big thing from you, Marshal? At this moment, the Imperial Eagle Flag has been re-hoisted on the city wall of Osgilia. After General Adric and the Landis Army joined forces , and fought many times with the rebels outside the city of Osgilia. The rebels were arguing endlessly, and they had no intention of fighting. Governor Hughes had already retreated first, followed by the Salvadorian troops, and the rest of the ministries were also thinking about it. I got At the time of the news, although the rebels hadn't retreated, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. The morale is unbearable, the rebels have been besieging the city for more than half a year, and they were driven out after the city was broken. It can't be revived again. It's only a matter of time before the birds and animals are scattered."
Xia Ya's expression became more solemn, and he said slowly, "How is the situation in the city?"
As soon as the Governor's wife heard Char's question, a flash of admiration flashed in her eyes. Obviously, Marshal Char's mind was clear, and she understood the situation at once. The rebels were no longer the focus. The situation is the key!
She pursed her lips: "Is it in the city... When I got the news, the situation was relatively stable. The city guards led by General Adric and the Landis Army divided the city to rule. I heard that the original red area in the city was the boundary. , each occupying half of the city, but the palace is still in the hands of General Adric, so there will be no trouble for a while."
Having said this, the woman smiled mysteriously: "Now the two sides are still negotiating conditions. The two sides are afraid that there are still talks. Once a compromise is reached, it will be time for a decisive battle! At this moment, the rebels have nothing to worry about! Although There is also a huge shelf. In fact, the inside has been scattered. I am afraid that once the empire and the Lantis people reach an agreement and join forces, the shelf of this rebel army will be pushed down! This is the general trend, it is already It's hard to get it back."
Xia Ya didn't say a word, but immediately turned around, flipped out a map from the table and unfolded it quickly, touched his chin, and stared at the map. After looking at the map for a long time, he suddenly said coldly: Tania!"
The Governor's wife nodded, and her expression became much more serious: "Yes, the Marshal can see it right! The Lantis people have already occupied the port of Catania, I am afraid that they will increase their troops in the port of Catania later! Send troops from the port of Catania and go straight into the back of the rebels. At that time, the rebels under Osgilia City will be attacked by the enemy, and their morale will be low, but they will be defeated in a battle.”
Xia sneered: "The rebels are over. Hughes, the old boy, attacked Osgilia, and was driven out in a mess, which is enough to show that he has no life, hum... The current situation, these Guys don't have to think about it too much, just those Lantis people... hehe, it's... "
He shook his head: "It's easy to get in, but it's hard to send it out. The Lantis people occupy so much limelight, how can they be willing to spit out the fat they eat in their mouths! The imperial capital of this country can't keep the army of other countries for a long time. Control, for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be troubles."
When Xia Ya said this, he suddenly saw a sarcastic smile on the corner of the Governor's wife's mouth. His heart moved, and his face flushed.
He said that the Landis people "eat the fat in their mouths and refuse to spit it out easily". If this is used on myself, it seems to be very appropriate. I swallowed the Corsica military area, and there is no such thing at all. I plan to share the thoughts of this woman, I delay the other party's journey time along the way, and when I enter the city, I have made a plan to not see the other party. I think this woman's cleverness is naturally known.
Fortunately, the Governor's wife just smiled slightly, and then she put it away, probably because she didn't want to be entangled in this kind of problem with Xia Ya at this time. She just pondered for a moment, then said: "Since the siege of the imperial capital has been resolved, then those areas in the south of the empire that are still directly under the jurisdiction of the empire can send people to clean up the area and organize the local garrison. Enrich the military. After all, the empire is deeply rooted, and the appeal of the royal family is still there. As long as the siege of Osgilia is resolved, it is not too difficult to pull up another army after a single imperial order. They also have some territory in their hands.”
Speaking of which, the Governor's wife looked at Xiaya: "Master Marshal, I will visit you in person this time. What is the purpose? You should be clear, right?"
Xia Ya squinted his eyes, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, where is there a half-hearted look at this moment? Immediately, he curled the corners of his mouth: "What do you mean... the king of leading the army?"
"If we go now, it will be a relief." The Governor's wife said bluntly: "If we wait a little longer, with the talent of General Adric, we will naturally be able to pull out a force. When that time comes, it will be the icing on the cake. , the weight is very different." Speaking of this, the Governor's wife said lightly: "You are General Adric's old subordinate, so naturally you don't have to worry about this level, but I am in the Besta Military Region, but I have no friendship with the emperor!"
In an instant, Xiaya understood the woman's intentions.
The current situation of the Besta Military Region is indeed very delicate.
The Besta Military Region has openly left the Red Round Table group before. According to the governor's wife's plan, of course, it is to accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity. It is best to have a relationship with the imperial capital and get a legal identity and title. OK - after all, Bestar was a rebel before!
But the problem is that the governor's wife did not expect that the rebels would break through Osgilia so quickly! Hughes' sneak attack was originally an accident.
Knowing that Osgilia had been breached, no matter how clever the governor's wife was, she had to have some doubts in her heart! The imperial capital is broken, and the national fortune of the Byzantine Empire, 100% has died and 99%! Even if the governor's wife was not optimistic about the rebels before, she never thought that the rebels would actually be able to break through the imperial capital! According to her calculations, Osgilia has a famous general like Adric in the town, and Lantis is a powerful foreign aid. The rebels have made major mistakes again and again, and the situation has already tended to the empire. It is because of this that she made up her mind to change her family, break away from the rebels she thought would be defeated, and try to be like the empire again.
Unexpectedly, just when she was full of confidence, Osgilia actually broke the city! This news has really hit this woman's heart a lot!
Even after getting the news that the Imperial City was broken, within a short period of time, within the Besta Military Region, there were many voices of doubts about the Governor's wife, questioning the mistakes of the Governor's wife's previous decisions.
She returned to the Governor's Palace in the military region to clean up the situation, and it took some time for her to suppress the internal ups and downs.
But then things took a turn for the worse! Obviously, the rebels who are about to win this war in one step, actually lost again, and once again surrendered a good situation! It is enough to prove that the guys from Hughes and El Salvador are indeed not the ones who can make things happen.
But just when she got this news, when the Governor's wife finally suppressed the different voices inside, Xia Ya in the north had already swept away the Chixue Army at a lightning speed!
This time, the whole plan of the Governor's wife was completely messed up!
You know, she hasn't waited for the time she needs! The situation has changed countless times!
And the most terrible thing is that at this moment, the Besta Military Region is suddenly in an embarrassing position!
She has left the rebel camp, but she has not yet been truly recognized by the empire!
To the rebels, the Besta Military Region is a "traitor", but to the Empire, the Besta Military Region is a "rebel".
If the empire is in crisis, she will send troops from the Besta military region to serve as the king, even if she bears the reputation of "rebels", the empire will definitely accept them without hesitation. But now the Landis people have entered the army, and the rebels have collapsed at the touch of a button. The most difficult time for the empire is over. At this time, the Besta Military Region will post it again... If people don't look at you, do they really believe you, or two!
Taking a step back, even if the Empire accepts the surrender of the Besta Military Region, the "timing" is not right! If you gave help in the past, you can still be said to be sincere, but now that the rebels are defeated, if you post it again, it will inevitably be regarded as a piece of shit...
After thinking about it, if I want to get off the pirate ship again and get on the "official ship" of the empire again, I have to pull this Marshal Xia Ya!
After all, they are the real "Marshal of the Northern Military Region of the Empire", who can "control several counties in the north" in the name. (The governor's wife did not know that this title of Xi Ya was self-proclaimed.) After all, in the eyes of others, this Lord Xi Ya was born in Genzheng Miaohong, Adric's direct descendant, and was appreciated by the previous emperor. , and it seems that there is still a little unclear relationship with the royal family-Xia Ya and that Highness Adeline's marriage, the news has already made a lot of fanfare.
At such a time, can one find a "royalist" with a more stable background and a more stable position than Marshal Xia Ya
Instead of taking the risk of being suspected and sticking to Osgilia, I might as well hug the thigh of Marshal Char.
If you pull this Marshal Xia Ya to do it together... Then after the incident, the status of a "Diligent King and Hero" in the Besta Military Region is absolutely indispensable!
Otherwise, in your current situation, the rebels don't want to see you, and the empire doesn't recognize you... Who are you
"Send troops to Osgilia, King Qin." The governor's wife stared at Xia Ya: "Master Marshal, you have a great victory over the Chixue Army. As long as you allocate 3,000 elite cavalry under your command, our Besta Military Region is willing to send 7,000 cavalry. We As soon as the two troops came out, they went to King of Osgilia, and the military supplies and supplies along the way were supplied to the military, and I, the Besta Military Region, took care of it! Even the commander-in-chief of this coalition army was appointed by you, the Marshal. My Besta Military Region, I am willing to obey the command of the Marshal."
Xiaya immediately understood what this woman meant.
The two groups sent troops together, together 10,000 cavalry, to help King Qin of Osgilia... 10,000 cavalry, the supply cost along the way was borne by the Besta Military Region, and as long as these 10,000 cavalry arrived in Osgilia, I am afraid even No need to fight... 10,000 cavalry! Deterrence is naturally not small! I am afraid that even fighting may not really be necessary, as long as 10,000 cavalrymen swing out of the city, it is enough to shock the enemy army, even if it is a great achievement!
Xia Ya is Adrick's direct descendant again, so it's not difficult to be recognized and accepted by Adrick... At that time, Besta Military Region will be able to take advantage of the situation and change its identity.
