Conquest

    Chapter 256 [Don't die! 】

    "Hey! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

    Above the wilderness, the original sparse piece of woods has been cut down. The vast wilderness seems to be more and more desolate and chilling.

    The sound of the sound of the earth was so loud that it was spread far and wide.

    The twenty-faced drums lined up in a row, each side is covered with cooked cowhide, with a tall shelf to have one person high, and each side of the drum has two brawny strong men, holding in the wind The giant hammer is struggling to strike!

    Forming a dense mass of the military array has put together a square array of closely connected, black iron armor is like a black cloud spread on the ground, looking from afar, cold light!

    At the rear of the array, a high platform built of giant wood is 10 meters high, and there are huge rollers under the base. More than two hundred brawny men wearing leather armor are struggling to push this high platform with the army. Slow forward.

    The sky is gloomy, and the clouds forming a dense mass seem to be pressed lower, while the Hughes Governor above the high platform looks as if standing in the clouds.

    Hughes, a golden armor, looks arrogant, under the golden helmet, flying high, holding a whip in his hand, standing on the high platform, holding the railing, and looking into the distance…

    Just in front, a long river like a clothes with water, across the majestic and continuous wall, and the towering triumphant tower, the flag flutters, but under the dark clouds, it looks a bit lonely.

    Hughes stood on the tower and suddenly waved his whip and smiled: "That is the king of my future kingdom!"

    Behind him, there were several armored guards on the high platform. Among the guards, Adeline and Daphne stood there in a tragic look.

    "This continent's first city will be the first precious gift I gave you!"Hughes turned his head, and the light in the eyes swept over Daphne's face before he smiled: "I will be the new king here…And you, my future queen, the city will also be at your feet. ”

    Once the tens of thousands of iron armored lions are sprinkled in this wilderness, it is really a cover for the sun! While the Armenia military region has always been known for its excellent armor, the armor of this army under Hughes is not afraid of blood, especially an armored infantry legion behind the military ranks. Almost every soldier is produced by Armenia. Armed to the teeth, thick armor, cover-up voyeur, iron shield like a wall, a spear like a forest!

    After the drums rang for a while, on the far side of the Osgiliath wall, there was a rush of military squad immediately. From the far side, the soldiers on the city floor were seen as ants, and the flag was quickly raised.

    The fluttering Imperial eagle flag stands above the tower, and Hughes looked at the majestic wall, but just grinned.

    At this moment, the distance rides along the front of the military array from both sides.

    The military array immediately split an aisle to let the rides come under the high platform of Hughes.

    "Governor Lord! The first Flag Battalion has been the southern acropolis, and the enemy is four hundred. The southern acropolis has entered my hand! ”

    "Governor Lord! The second Flag Battalion has been the Western Acropolis! Six hundred enemies, the Western Acropolis has entered my hand! ”

    “Governor Lord, the third Flag Battalion has been engulfed the northern acropolis, and the enemy has burned the tower and it is in ruins!”

    "Governor Lord, the fourth Flag Battalion…"

    Several cavalry one by one, under the high platform, the high-sound return, the above Hughes listened, the brow picked, then laughed a few times and said: "Good! The nails around are removed! This Osgiliath is a lonely city! ”

    He immediately smiled and smiled slowly: "Pass me!" Conquer Osgiliath and plug my king flag into the city! The first city-breaker, regardless of his identity, rewarded the gold coin 100,000, and rose to the third level! ”

    On top of the Osgiliath, the King City personal guard Commander General Spence is full of blood, his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, his beard has not been trimmed for many days, and even some of the original annihilation of the red zone in the city The minor injury has not healed.

    General Spence hasn't looked at it for two days. Although he is not an empire, he is a regular Hummer, and he knows the situation!

    Stuck in the lonely city!

    Since the day El Salvador escaped from Osgiliath, Spence knew that the curtain of the civil war had been opened!

    Although he was angered by the Thunder of Kontos, he was loyal to the Royal Family. He knew that he had no retreat and no choice!

    Within two days of the escape of El Salvador, the Armenia Military District, the closest to the Imperial Capital Territory, was the first to renegade the flag! Immediately within the empire, at least a dozen military regions Governor immediately responded! The rest of the story, even if there is no news, must be eager to move.

    At this time, in fact, the escape of the guy in El Salvador is no longer important. The outbreak of this civil war is not a situation in which one's life and death can change.

    Or—On the day when Carvesylver was stabbed to death, the curtain of this war has been opened!

    The Armenia military region has a good grain, and the armor is the best in the Byzantine Empire! General Spence, who has been harassing in the military for a lifetime, is well aware of the elites of the Armenia's army – the Armenia rebels are well equipped, and even the Imperial Palace's Imperial Guard may not be able to match!

    Just three days ago, an announcement was made throughout the empire, and the announcement was passed through the magic array of the magic unions in various parts of the empire.

    This is a essay drafted by Armenia Governor Hughes.

    In this essay, Hughes denounced the empire of the Emperor Kontos, the devotee of the Emperor Kontos, and turned his back on the military. He repeatedly suppressed the military for many years and caused repeated pressure on the military, causing the empire to chill. This time, it suddenly launched a cleansing action against the military. In the gauntlet, Hughes asked Kontos to retreat immediately, abolish the royal dominance of the Krenma family, restore the Senate system to the antique system, and re-elect the members of the Senior Elder Committee to rule the empire.

    "The situation of the country is worth a thousand years, and the ills are extremely boring. At this time, for the imperial transport, for the solider glory, when you come forward, although the nine died of broken bones without regret! The original Empire Armenia Military District Governor Hughes sobbed the blood book, the world hero heroes to discuss the emperor, to return my empire in the past Roewe! ”

    Spence remembered the last two sentences on the announcement and couldn't help but sigh.

    A good "original Empire Armenia Military District Governor Hughes", this sentence is wonderful on the word "original". This Hughes has completely resolved, even the official positions of the empire have been abandoned.

    A total of stunned kings, abolished Krenma royal rule…Set up Senate? Jokes, how can these warlords play Senate's tricks, even if Senate is really set up, the senior Elder members of the new Senate in the future, I am afraid that they must all be cleaned up, and all of them will be replaced by these military regions. .

    This announcement has been completely broken politically with the Imperial Royal Family. No longer recognize the ruling Royal Family dominance, no longer recognize the official position of the Imperial Royal Family, or even…No longer recognize the existence of the Byzantine Empire!

    The squadron of Hughes Governor immediately caused the response of the warlord henchmen. At this moment, the various military regions in the empire, especially in the north, erected the renegade flag for a time. Half of the northern part of the empire was already easy to flag.

    The Armenia Military District is closest to Imperial Capital. Hughes' first force attacked Osgiliath. His strength was originally among the top three in the Imperial Military Region. Plus the benefits of armor and years of operation, even pulling 100,000 troops. Not surprising. I heard that Hughes has reached an agreement with the other Military District Governors, that El Salvador played a major role in it, Hughes immediately rushed out, two heavy armor infantry legion plus a step-riding mixed army a total of six The 10,000 troops immediately entered Osgiliath.

    In this case, General Spence, who was Osgiliath's defender Commander General, had to take a tortoise.

    Originally Osgiliath, the Imperial Capital of the Empire, is surrounded by four acropolises, roughly the size of an ordinary empire, plus the surrounding villages and towns, forming an Imperial Capital subordination.

    In the invasion of the Armenia rebels, Spence's response was to abandon the perimeter and retreat to Imperial Capital Osgiliath.

    Although this strategy was debated at the court meeting, especially the civil servants group scorned this unsuccessful strategy, but Spence insisted on sticking his own opinion.

    In his heart, he was very disdainful of the words of the literary officials.

    Fortunately, the Emperor Kontos was also a military soldier after all, and this time he firmly supported Spence.

    The reason for Spence is simple: Osgiliath has insufficient strength.

    Originally Osgiliath's defender had only 20,000 Imperial Capital personal guards, plus only about 8,000 Imperial Guards. Even if the guards of the security corps in the city are all added up, the figures on paper are only 30,000.

    More importantly, because of the recent war with the Odin people, the Empire’s central standing Army has two directly disabled, in order to rebuild, and to ensure the Royal Family’s mastery of the rebuilding forces, successively from the Imperial Capital’s Guard At least 8,000 people were deployed in the Army to enrich the new army. The vacancy of King City personal guard was filled in by the second-line local garrison in various places.

    Original Capital's personal guard's combat power may not be as strong – although the personal guard's loyalty to the Royal Family is not doubtful, and the equipment army has always been the Royal Family's preferential treatment. But this army has been stationed at Imperial Capital for many years, and most soliders have not even experienced much killing. Such an army, even in the eyes of several other central standing Arms, also belonging to the Royal Family camp, is somewhat disdainful.

    People who often hear the 6th Army and the 13th Army ridicule Imperial Capital's personal guard as "Master Soldiers."

    But now even this "Master Bingjia Doll Soldier" has been transferred to the small half, and the second-line garrison troops that have been added are even more unbearable, and the combat effectiveness has been reduced by 30%.

    As for the Imperial Guard…If the Imperial Capital personal guard is a flower army, then the Imperial Guard…These guys should be a good guardian, do you fight…Shake your head faster.

    Except for the mysterious "Nightfall Guardian"!

    Even if the Nightfall Guardian is strong, it is only a few hundred people. How much can a few hundred people play in the battle of Big Arm?

    Although the military strength of 30,000 people sounds like it is not too small. But the city of Osgiliath is really too big! It is much weaker to hold on to such a huge city, and 30,000 people sprinkle on the long wall.

    If you want to divide your troops to the four acropolises in the periphery?

    That is simply looking for death!

    Lack of cavalry in the city…Imperial Guard Although there are quite a few cavalry, the combat power of those guys is untrustworthy.

    The rebel forces outside the city are dominant. Once they attack, they will first pull out the nails around them. And if the division is stationed, it is like a fist released, let the other party cut one's finger one by one.

    It's better to gather your fists and stick to Osgiliath.

    Osgiliath City Pool is also a natural insurance. Plus the perennial prosperity, the city has plenty of materials, nothing else, just food, self-sufficiency for three months is no problem.

    And there is also a marine logistics line! The rebels first came, and may not be able to block the sea, keep Osgiliath, and continue to replenish supplies through the sea, relying on this city, perhaps more time with the rebels.

    and alsoSpence still has some hope in mind.

    General Adrick has gone to the southeast to mobilize the local garrison. I will definitely come with the reinforcements, and there are several other central standings in the loyal empire.Do not say anything else, Ruhr's Rhodelia cavalry Army, if you can come, then the hope of victory in this war is one more point!

    But Spence always thinks like this, but he also understands that hope is not big.

    Several central standing Arms are scattered throughout the country. At this moment, there are rebel forces everywhere. If each Army wants to mobilize Imperial Capital, it must first cross the enemy-occupied area.

    And even if it’s really rushing to death, how many battles can you still have?

    Moreover, the Hughes army is invading, and other rebellious warlords will also start to attack. I heard that at the moment, several other Governors in the north have already rushed to Imperial Capital.

    In Spence's view, the Royal Family really has no hope of victory in this war. Empire erosion for a century, the system of the Terma military region has been fattening these wolves, several generations of operation, these military regions have long become a country in the country, recruiting and hoarding military funds, even if it is normal, the two sides of the military balance, but also royal is at a disadvantage, not to mention and Odin after the war, loyal to Royal Several of the central standing army are even more weakened.

    In the case of knowing that it is a defeat, these heavens are in the heart of Osgiliath. And from time to time there are all kinds of gossip messages.

    Spence is a general in the city and has been tempted by the rebels.

    These rebels have been in the empire for generations, and the latent forces don’t know how much. Even if the city had been martial for a few days, just last night, someone actually asked Spence in the middle of the night, indicating that the identity was to represent the rebel forces outside the city to persuade Spence.

    I really don't know the strict city defense, these guys are sneaking through secret channels!

    The other party said that as long as Spence is willing to turn the tide, change the string and change the door, open the city gate and put the rebels into the city in battle…

    "Hughes Lord said that the future military minister of the Armenia Kingdom will be left to you! Seal Count, reward gold coin 100,000! And I heard that you have a relative Ni Guer, you see it. Hughes Lord said that he is willing to marry his daughter to Nigur! In the future, treat you with brotherhood! ”

    This price is not low!

    The future minister of the king, the Secretary of the Count, the reward of 100,000 gold coins, and the new king and children.

    With the prestige of Spence operating in the City Guard for many years, there is naturally a group of loyalists who are loyal to him. Opening the gates in battle is not necessarily a difficult thing.

    Spence knows very well that as long as he will nod and give up the gate, then in the future, he will be able to prosper and live forever, and will save the family's survival and his own life.

    And if you refuse, once the city is defeated, your whole family will be destroyed!

    But now it seems that there is really no hope for one's own vision.

    "I am very tempted, really tempted."

    At that time, Spence looked at the messenger sent by the other party and sighed calmly: "I am loyal to the Royal Family. I am 40 years old this year, and it is just a Commander General. The most close and trustworthy people in your family do not necessarily have me in the top 20. The house of power of the empire, I can't even enter a hundred! Even before the war, His Majesty also sinned against me because of the escape of El Salvador. It is only now that the war is used, that I will be guilty of sin and continue Commander personal guard.

    And my Spence, I know my skills, and I can only say that I am only a capital of the Chinese. I am famous in the empire. Whether it is Adrick or General Ruhr, I am ten times better than me, even if it is a past year. Mad Dog Green, also won me ten times!

    With my talents, even in the next 50 years, it is impossible to sit in the position of the Minister of Military Affairs. So…In contrast, the conditions of Hughes Lord are already full of sincerity.

    So, if I don't feel tempted, that's a lie! ”

    The messenger heard this and suddenly changed his face: "Have you promised?"

    Spence continued to sigh: "I want to promise you, but unfortunately…I can’t…

    He stood up, slowly bypassed the table, looked at his own sabre hanging on the wall, and suddenly smiled, he slowly turned back, the Spence at the moment, the tone is slow, but very serious:

    "Because people live forever, there is always something else besides being rich and wealthy."

    After that, he had a sharp flash in his hand and the sword edge had penetrated into the throat of the messenger!

    The messenger's eyes widened, his throat groaned, his voice groaning, and blood flowing slowly from his fingers!

    "Marshal Lord Duke Tulip, the founding father of the Empire, once said: If the country is destroyed, the loyal minister will die! My Spence is not talented, mediocrity, I dare not be as heroic as Duke Tulip. However, today, I have a sentence…"

    Spence slowly wiped the blood on the sword edge, his eyes calm as water: "If the empire is gone, my Spence…Damn! ”
