Chapter 273
Chapter 270 [Destined! ]
The roaring drums of war shook the sky, and the rushing bugle was mixed with the shouting and killing of the soldiers, and the sound almost dispelled all the clouds in the sky.
On the plain, a group of soldiers went forward and succeeded, as if the tide was rushing forward J1 madly, and then struggling in the dense arrow rain covered by the sky, like a piece of wild tide, slapping against the tall city walls go with.
The crossbow artillery in dozens of towers volleyed at the same time on Osgilia's walls, and the walls were full of arrows, and the slingers hiding in the walls also roared. Seeing that the tide rebels rushed to the river, there was a body left behind! In the direction of the main rebel attack, there were three gates on the southwestern wall of Osgilia, and three bridges that originally crossed the river. After many days of fierce fighting, at this moment almost all the bodies were piled on the bridge, and the water on the river was almost Hundreds of thousands of dead bodies floated on the river! From a distance, the majestic city walls of Osgilia were flaming with fire. Even the strongest walls had gathered almost all of them in the rebels. After several days of continuous bombardment of one of the trebuchets against one of the sections, the section of the wall was finally blasted out.
The tide rebels forced the crossing of the river by the rebels of J1, braved the crossbow arrows and advanced **** the bridge J1, and the soldiers holding up their fenders hid. Below, after barely rushing over half of the bridge, the rocket was ignited, and an arrow tied with an oil bag was ignited and fired at the gate.
A large flame quickly ignited on the city gate, but the soldiers on the city tower immediately jumped out and poured a bucket of water to pour out the flames. Occasionally, the garrison body protruded too much into the city wall. , Was immediately hidden. The rebel archers below are shooting dead! The rebels invested more than 100,000 troops in the direction of the siege, but on the northwest side of the battlefield, there were still 10,000 Armenian heavy infantry squares, waiting closely, watching the northwest side of the battlefield closely.
To the northwest of the battlefield, a large battalion has been stationed on a low high ground, and the Empire Eagle flag is flying high! This is the reinforcements who came to help the capital. Just a few days, the two Central Standing Regiments finally broke through the heavily occupied areas and came to the city of Osgiriya after hardship. These two troops were the first standing army of the Imperial Central Army. Second Corps and Ninth Corps.
In the last battle between the Wildfire and the Odins, the Second Corps was suddenly attacked by Hastings, and the entire Corps was almost defeated. General Perizoli was also killed and rebuilt after the war. Socia, the senior banner officer of the Cavalry Regiment, took over. Although the Second Corps has just undergone rebuilding pain relief, too many recruits in the army are far from being able to restore combat effectiveness. However, the new general, Socia, was originally the top trooper in the Rodría Cavalry Regiment. He was the admired subordinate of Adrik in the past. He even thought about letting him take over as the Rodría Cavalry General.
Socia was brave in combat, and was a soldier in training, and lived with generals during training. He set an example and was a well-known empire. He soon established authority in the army, so this new army had him in the town. Although inexperienced, morale has largely recovered.
The new general of the Ninth Corps is also the general silver man Butler of the former Rhodes Cavalry Corps. Butler is mature, loyal, and loyal. Although he is not as brave as Socia, he is more experienced and the losses before the Ninth Corps are not too large. Butler soon reintegrated the troops after taking over.
Both of these regiments arrived in Osgilia a few days ago.
Speaking of the arrival of these two regiments, there is an episode ...
Before the Armenian rebels attacked the city, a mixed local garrison regiment led by Adrik rushed to the rescue. Adrik deliberately made the Rhoderian cavalry bugle, to confuse the rebels and let the rebels It was mistaken for the arrival of the Rhoderian Cavalry Regiment, and was frightened by the reputation of the Rhoderian Cavalry. The rebels had to retreat. As a result, Adrik's more than 20,000 exhausted mixed infantry had the opportunity to calm down when the rebels retreated. Into the city.
Hughes, who learned the truth afterwards, almost vomited blood.
If he had seen through Adrick's tricks earlier, more than 20,000 troops brought by Adrick were temporary mixed corps drawn from the local defense forces, and they were exhausted for a long distance. If at that time the rebels directly sent the birth forces to attack, maybe they could defeat this support force in a battle! But once Adriatic's reinforcements entered the city, and after the city's supplies were replenished, it took a breather, and the city was supplemented by such a group of soldiers, and it was even more difficult to break through Osquilia.
The funny thing is, just three days after Adrik entered the city, the Second and Ninth Regiments also arrived at the battlefield almost simultaneously.
Socia and Butler were very coincident, and they did the same. The two men's army appeared in the northeast and northwest corners of the battlefield, and they almost coincidentally chose the same strategy as Adrik Blow the horn of the Rodrion Cavalry Regiment to try to confuse the rebels.
Hughes, who has been fooled once, how can he be fooled again? A 10,000 team was directly separated, and I wanted to take the opportunity to attack. This strategy really worked. After all, Socia and Butler's troops also traveled long distances. They were exhausted, unable to break through the rebels, and did not get the opportunity to enter the city. They could only join forces and be stationed on the battlefield. Northwest. Fortunately, both were generals in the army. Since they were unable to enter the city, the two immediately agreed to make a decision on the Throne of the Seal of the Immortal, and split up to attack the Acropolis in Oswestia in the northwest. After the Acropolis had been occupied by the rebels and recaptured by the Imperial Army, the Acropolis had originally stored a batch of grain ordnance and returned to the Imperial Army. After receiving the supplies, the two simply I didn't want to rush into the city anymore, and I settled on the northwestern highlands outside the city with ease, and confronted the rebels, keeping the pressure on the rebels.
The two men joined forces together and their strength reached about 40,000, which was enough to deter the rebels. When the rebels attacked the city, they had to split their forces to prevent their sneak attacks, which was also reduced for Osgilia. pressure.
In addition to the two corps of Socia and Butler, as well as Adriatic's reinforcements, and the original city guards in the city, at this moment in Osgilia, the strength of the Imperial Army has reached about 80,000, and the strength has been greatly increased. Of strengthening.
But the situation is still not optimistic.
Because the Imperial Army received reinforcements, the strength of the rebels outside the city has also been greatly supplemented, and the strength is still significantly larger than the number of Imperial troops.
After the Armenian rebels attacked the city unfavorably, Hughes gave up his intention to attack, but only maintained two or three daily attacks to maintain pressure on the city defense. In addition, he continued to mobilize troops from the Armenian military region and mobilized more than 100,000 people. At this moment, the number of rebels in Armenia has exceeded 50,000.
In these few moments, rebels from all over the country also sent troops.
El Salvador did not break his word. As the speaker of the "Red Round Table", he called for a call from the insurgent military commanders from all over the region to respond to the throne. At the same time, the 21 military regions in the northern part of the empire all started at the same time, and El Salvador ordered it. It is also very clear that there is no room for ambiguity at this moment! We and the royal family have only one way left: "Either you die or I live! If you can't destroy the royal family in World War I, and you will never get rid of the future troubles, everyone will have no way to live in the future! You know, the Tema military district system of the Byzantine Empire has a history of 100 years, and there are 46 Tema military districts in the empire, most of which are in the northern part of the empire. Only in the early days, the Empire ’s Tema military district system was set up to resist the Odins. Naturally, most of the military districts were set up in the northern part of the empire to counter the Odins.
Immediately after the throne of the Seal of God, the military region in the north was chaotic, and the governors of each army gathered to gather towards Osgiriya.
The 21 military regions in the north all came under the call of El Salvador. The strength of each family ranged from eight to nine thousand and more to two or thirty thousand. El Salvador ran back to himself. After the Territory Military Region, it brought 40,000 troops in one breath! There is also a cavalry regiment of 20,000! !! At this point, the strength of the rebels outside Osgilia had passed 300,000.
And Hughes is also the same as the former Ming, who took out the armor equipment that had been stored in the warehouse of the Armenian military region for many years and sold it to rebels at low prices.
With the excellent armor and equipment produced by Armenia, the combat effectiveness of the drought rebellion has been greatly improved, and the surrounding two or three counties have fallen, and a large amount of food has been collected.
There are no worries, good armour, and several times the strength of the enemy. In addition, the cooperation of the various families is in a honeymoon period. More than 20 rebel governors have gathered together. Even El Salvador, which has always been cautious, believes that the current Comparison of strengths, even if Osgilia is the first city on the road, with its own strength, it is enough to break through this city in half a year! At that time, as long as the entire family of the Karenma family is destroyed, then ...
Although Osgilia has a strong defense against the city, no matter how strong the city is, it will never be possible to stay alive forever.
And the biggest problem at the moment is the food! !! As an imperial capital with a population of more than one million during the peak period, Oswego's weekday food cannot meet demand if it is solely produced by the villages and towns around the city. In the past, the food in Osgilia needs to be transported from the surrounding areas, as well as trafficked by large chambers of commerce in various places. On the one hand, it has caused Shangluda in this city, but on the other hand, it also has a fatal flaw in the city, which requires blood supply! Once the external blood supply is cut off ...
Like this 31, the emperor was besieged, the commercial road was naturally cut off, and the surrounding areas were indeed occupied. Grain in the city can only use the previous reserves, eat less, eat no more! And a large city with a population of over a million people, coupled with the wartime army's expenditure is such a huge number of people on weekdays, the daily consumption is a huge number! Even if the royal family has been paying attention to hoarding materials in the past, how much can it hoard?
That's more than a million mouths! Everyone eats two pounds of food every day, which is two million pounds a day! One thousand tons per day! !! Although there are also a small amount of farmland gardens and traces of livestock in the city ... but how long can you just rely on these?
The only thing to worry about is the transportation line at sea.
Osgilia is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is a peninsula-shaped city. After the roads at 6 places were blocked, the only route that could supply the city was the sea route.
But just in the past few days, the rebels have allocated a part of their forces to collect a lot of ships, and have sealed off the sea.
The Byzantine Empire is not without a navy, but the navy of the empire has been suppressed by the Landis for decades, especially the estuary of the Inland Sea is occupied by the Landis. The Empire ’s navy can only swim in the Inland Sea Naturally cannot grow. There are not many warlike numbers and naval numbers. At that time, the best opportunity was able to take the estuary out of the sea. As a result, Merlin, the transcendental strong man, forcibly intervened, making the Byzantine Empire unable to seize the opportunity, and the navy also declined.
There is also a delicate situation in the empire. In the eyes, the military forces of the empire are divided into the royal family and the warlord party, but in fact, after careful investigation, the empire's navy is a self-contained system.
The Empire's navy has always been a strange phenomenon, that is, it is not completely loyal to the royal family, nor is it associated with the warlord party. Investigating the reasons for this is something that makes people laugh and cry: if the Navy wants to grow, it must invest a lot of material and financial resources.
For the empire, for many years, the royal family could only support the Central Standing Regiments loyal to the royal family with limited financial resources in order to compete with the army. Where in the central empire do you have extra financial resources to build a large number of navies?
As for the warlords' party feathers ... they were too late to expand their strength, and naturally they would not spend money on the navy.
The navy's interest groups have always been the biggest victims, without the support of the central government, and the annual military expenditure is extremely limited, which has caused deep nagging among the navy.
The empire does not want to reorganize the navy, nor does it want to regain control of the sea. However, the warlord party will not be eliminated all day long, and the royal family will not be able to protect itself. Where can we still have energy to take care of the navy?
The result is. The navy is becoming increasingly disappointed and centrifugal about the Empire Central. Although he did not stand directly on the warlord's side, his loyalty to the imperial family was only based on official documents on face.
Osgilia was besieged at this moment, and the rebels gathered a number of temporarily recruited boats to dare to block the sea, for no reason. Just before the war, El Salvador sent a letter to the Naval Command at the southern end of the Inner Sea, and sent it to the current admiral Llorente of the Empire. The letter states: As long as you don't help each other, all members of the Red Round Table after the war will recognize the unique position of the navy's independent portal.
El Salvador's letter used both hard and soft words, and it clearly stated the current situation. "Compared with the current strength, the royal family has little chance to win! If the navy stood at the wrong team at this time, then it would only be buried with the royal family! After the warlords won the war, the warlords' territories were everywhere! Even if the navy dominates the sea, you still need to have a foothold in the Big 6 to have a naval base to survive! If you offend the heroes of the Big Six, you will only be able to be a robber at sea in the future ...
And El Salvador even promised that as long as the navy remained unmoved, after the war, it would cede three coastal cities from the two army-wide territories on the northern coastline of the Inland Sea to establish naval bases for the navy. The three cities and the surrounding land are all given to the Navy, which is almost half the size of the county, which is enough for the Navy to stand on its own in the future.
Sure enough, after the letter was sent, the navy has been dying to this day.
Listening to the sound of the trumpet and drums outside, the sound of shouting and killing came, and Salvador sitting calmly in the tent. Although he heard that today's siege seems to have failed again, he was not worried at all.
Osgilia is the first male city of Big 6. There are few weaknesses to take advantage of. It is impossible to break the city without spending time on the throne of the Seal of God. The only way is to fight for consumption and fill it with human life! After the exhaustion of the last city, exhausted food, the best opportunity to break the city.
Do n’t use any tricks, and do n’t even think about speculation, that is, your side has several times the strength of the other side and presses it in a straightforward manner until it crushes the other side! When things get here, the Byzantine royal family has no chance at all! The big picture is set! Even if Cavie Hill is still alive, there is absolutely no way to turn the situation around again! !! El Salvador was also informed that the Odins had already traveled south.
But he didn't worry that the Odins would rob.
Only because this time, the Odin's CSR was basically an agreement between El Salvador and the Odin Empire.
He even had a letter written by Emperor Odin in his hand. The two sides agreed that Odin's army would go south and take only four counties in the central administrative region directly north of the empire as territories. Get down the city of Sigiriya and join the rebels to attack the city of Osgiriya! Therefore, from any angle, the royal family of the Byzantine Empire has only one way to go.
Dead! In the tent, Hughes looked at El Salvador coldly. At this moment, El Salvador is no longer the appearance of the Wolverine escaping from the imperial capital. At this moment, El Salvador, as the speaker of the red round table, is in a good mood! In fact, more than just burial-Elvado, even the Governors in the large account, and some Governors did not come in person, and the generals sent by them were all satisfied.
At this time, suddenly, a loud sound of the military temple came from afar, the bugle sound was short and rapid, and a beat was heard, the rhythm was unique and distinctive! This sound was clearly different from the horn on the battlefield, and immediately caused the idea of many rebel leaders in the tent.
Immediately afterwards, Armenian rebel officers ran in and shouted, "Master, the bugle of the Rhoderian cavalry sounds from behind us!"
"Rhoderia?" Hughes stood up, and he smiled coldly: "Rodrias cavalry is still blocked in the North Central region! Hmm ... what kind of reinforcements must there be, and this kind of trick is coming again! Derek lied to me once, and then Socia and Butler were spotted a second time playing this hand. Now someone else lied to me with the bugle of the Rodría cavalry? Let the battalion adjust 10,000 people to see Depending on the situation, I have the opportunity to eat this support army! "
After letting his men go out, Hughes laughed, "Come here, let's continue drinking! Huh! These guys always scare people by the name of the Rodrion Cavalry. Really think that the Rodrion Cavalry is invincible? Even if it is true The Rhoderian cavalry is here, and we are holding more than 300,000 troops. Are we afraid of the 20,000 cavalry? "
After a while, I heard the bugle of the rebels ringing outside, and the drums in the rear of the camp were shaking, and the sound of shouting came from far away.
Even in the big tent, the sound of the killing of the Jingo Iron Horse in the direction of Houying could be heard like a wave! And just in the tent, many people have changed color! Just because everyone saw the wine glass in the case in front of them, the wine was shaking gently! !! Horseshoe! It's a horseshoe! It is a large-scale cavalry charge that can cause such a huge shock! !! But for a moment, the throne of the Seal of God, someone outside came rolling in and rushed to the ground, shouting: "Master! Real Rhoderian cavalry! Real Rhodelia! Our battalion of 100,000 people was frontal Beat it !! "
Hughes only felt a "hum" in his head, and immediately rushed out, and the leaders of the rebels ran out behind him. Hughes rushed to the nearest lookout and climbed up frantically, looking up towards the back of the camp. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
I saw a field of horses and horses fighting together in the wilderness outside the far back camp! Large swarms of cavalry poured down like dark clouds. The gray-black costume was the armor color of the Rhoderian cavalry. Tens of thousands of cavalry ran on the battlefield. One hundred thousand people in their rear battalion were cut into After a few blocks, they have been washed away. The opponent's cavalry calmly kept on the side of the impact, cutting the defeated rebels into small pieces, and then swallowed in the gray and black cavalry waves! Hughes picked up the binoculars and saw a distant hillside, a group of cavalry, surrounded by a tall red war horse, immediately a burly body, a golden hill hill armor, face like a disc With wide ears, a proud and sly smile on his face, his spirits fluttered, it was the famous rabbit general Ruhr of the Empire! Behind him, a huge drum of war was being pounded! And under the war drum, he lifted his double hammers, bare top, exposed his strong muscles, his cape was loose, and he was struggling to beat the drums. It wasn't the drummers in the army.
It is indeed the former Crown Prince Garcia, who is recognized as a weak and stiff man!

Well, look forward to Spain's bravery tonight. ]
