Chapter 421
2014-08-16
Titus is a day in the late winter of 555 in the Gregorian calendar.This day will eventually leave a strong mark in history, because the Grey Cloth Armed Force, the largest independent force in Titus' history, officially turned from the previous runaway Condition to take the initiative to attack.
The first person to get the news was undoubtedly the Northern Armaments Department. Several bigwigs had mixed reactions. Some of them sat behind their desks in a daze, unable to digest it for a while. Some smashed teacups and shouted what these untouchables wanted to do. Some are simply asking the person who conveyed the message repeatedly to confirm whether they heard it wrong...
Offensive? It even attacked...
For a long time, the impression of the overwhelming majority of Titus nobles and military high-level officials on the Grey Cloth Armed Force is that they are fleeing and preparing to flee!
The big guys naturally feel that they are on the side of the strong and righteous. As for the unremarkable Grey Cloth Armed Force, they will fight. Shooting... is like shooting the prey in the hunting ground, there is always more to kill at one time. But that's okay, just have fun.
But now the Grey Cloth Armed Force officially launched the army in a thunderous imposing manner, they suddenly dumbfounded, yes, since the opponent defeated the army of nearly 200,000 here, why not Active attack?
……
After receiving this message, Joah is probably in the same mood, but unlike you guys, her heart surged after came back to his senses. An irrepressible strong sense of self-confidence arises.
It doesn't need publicity at all. People in the cities around the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains can easily find that the inner Qi atmosphere is changing. First of all, the city gate has been opened for a limited time, and people are not allowed to go out. Immediately, the nobles fled the city with their families and moved to the interior. Immediately afterwards, large numbers of regular soldiers gathered at an extremely fast speed, and then dispersed to the various arteries leading to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
This is the armament department preparing to support the soldiers on the front line, but now they can't care about it, and hurriedly transferred over to block the situation that the gray-clothed rioters might attack the city.
The Grey Cloth Armed Force has attacked... The public sipped the news, and it was a bit complicated for a while. If we summed it up, it was both a sense of unease caused by unreality, and a sense of unease. There is a sense of anticipation.
The Grey Cloth Armed Force led by Lothar has been in the public eye for more than ten years. The publicity work of Joah's secret agency has also paved the way for more than half a year in various cities. These are very close to the people, but sometimes they feel very far away. After all, they have heard about the Grey Cloth Armed Force. Even if they know that there may be Grey Cloth Armed Force propagandists around them, they have never seen it with their own eyes. pass. Coupled with the constant blackening of official newspapers, it is inevitable that there is a sense of restless speculation in my heart.
As for expectations, that's easy. In any case, over the years, the image of Grey Cloth Armed Force to the bottom people is a good majority. If the Grey Cloth Armed Force does break into the city, they will be part of it, willingly or not. So, is it possible to pay no taxes? Or, is it possible to stop looking at the faces of the nobles...
Of course, there are also people who firmly believe that the Grey Cloth Armed Force is the rioters mentioned in the newspapers, preaching that once they enter the city, they may Uncontrollable chaos of burning, killing, looting, etc...
But no matter how complicated the people are, they can't leave the city like the nobles, and can only passively meet the result.
……
Where the army goes, like a hot knife through butter!
This is an appropriate description of the army that the Grey Cloth Armed Force has launched, of course, this is also the inevitable result. The levels in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains can only serve as a reconnaissance role. Can you expect more than a hundred soldiers to resist an army of tens of thousands of people? Don't be kidding, they started running away in a hurry when they found out in the first day of junior high school.
Oh, not escape, but strategic retreat. At least they brought back all kinds of information about the Grey Cloth Armed Force. Gradually, the information was quickly aggregated and passed to the Northern Armaments Office.
"Damn, where did they get so many people?" In front of the tactical map, a big boss roared with his head covered.
Now on the map of the Northern Armament Office, the army of Grey Cloth Armed Force is divided into about six or seven routes, each route has nearly 10,000 soldiers. Such a number is stupefied, knowing that the last time the Three Great Legions sent the Grey Cloth Armed Force to run, there were only more than 20,000 combatants. That's what shocked them at the time, and they were greatly complained by Ralph.
And although the Grey Cloth Armed Force also defeated nearly 200,000 regular soldiers before and after, but it was divided into batches at that time, and in the eyes of the boss, there are huge A fluke ingredient. Just like the last time, the opponent directly killed the coach in one shot, so why is there no reason to win?
But now it seems that it is hard to say that there are at least 80,000 soldiers in the Grey Cloth Armed Force.
80,000...several bosses looked at each other and sat back in their chairs weakly. This matter has become a big deal...
The equivalent soldier, the Armament Office Not outrageous, but when is it now? The front line is still fighting, how could it be possible to throw more than 100,000 troops to start another battle here. Needless to say, they couldn't hold it back. There will definitely be people coming from the capital, and then, by the way, they will bring the punishment order for their inaction...
...
If you walk from the mountain road, the distance between Dawn City and the surrounding cities is about two. time of day. If the army moves, it will be much slower, and it will take about twice the time.
A level after level quickly retreats after an update is sent back.
The rioters in gray have split up and headed to Berwick City...the rioters in grey have split up again, this time in Stan City...the rioters in grey have joined forces...
All kinds of information about everything in disorder was sent back to the rear, which led the soldiers who came to travel between cities.
Just as no one knows how many mountains are in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, no one knows how many mountain roads there are. It twists and turns, turning a hundred times. The Grey Cloth Armed Force splits and regroups in a matter of hours. But the soldiers on the periphery may have to march for a day.
By this point, no one in the Armaments Division knew that the Grey Cloth Armed Force was having fun with them. Of course, in addition to cursing, they also had to take action. There is no way, as long as they are allowed to stand out from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and capture the city, their fun will be really big.
On the fourth day, the two flanks of the Grey Cloth Armed Force moved toward the center of the winding mountain road. After a long pause, an army of about 70,000 or 80,000 people officially formed, and then no longer hesitated to approach the periphery.
At this time, whether the armament department wanted to fight or not, they could only send troops to fight with bronze oneself. There is no way, the garrison strength where the Grey Cloth Armed Force is going is not enough. If you can't delay the time, the current point will be directly broken through.
In the morning, eighty kilometers from the nearest city. 5,000 Titus regulars against 80,000 Grey Cloth Armed Force soldiers... Lost!
At noon, the distance is seventy kilometers. Eight thousand regular soldiers... lost!
At night, sixty kilometers away. Fifteen thousand regular soldiers... Defeat!
…
Even the low-level students of the Military Academy know that this fueling tactic is a taboo on the battlefield. But now the big guys in the armament department can only frantically gather soldiers scattered all over the place, while secretly swallowing this bitter fruit, adding this stupid decision to their resume.
Three battles and three victories!
The next morning, fifty kilometers away. Under the watchful eyes of the 30,000 Titus soldiers who came, the Grey Cloth Armed Force stopped abruptly, and immediately began to cut down trees, carry stones, etc. to construct fortifications, as if they were going to be stationed here.
Confrontation, Formal Formation...(To be continued.)
