Chapter 438: The wolf rushes In this trip to the south to "protect", the Besta Military Region can be said to have really taken out all the family funds.
Tens of thousands of cavalry are out on the expedition, and the materials consumed have reached an extremely alarming level.
If the cavalry is on a long-distance march, there are tens of thousands of cavalry, and the accompanying horses are definitely more than 10,000.
Otherwise, when they run to the place, the war horses will be exhausted long ago, and where will they still have the strength to fight The large cavalry marches with horses and mules, and in the march, a small number of elites have horses to change, and even so, it is impossible to make the whole army equipped with horses This is too luxurious.
The only way to do this was to carry a certain amount of mules, horses, or wagons, which were specially responsible for loading heavy armor and forage to reduce the weight of the cavalry and preserve the horsepower.
It can be said that a cavalry expedition of tens of thousands of dollars can supply tens of thousands of infantry when converted.
Although the Besta Military Region is known as a strong soldier, and under the years of management of this legendary governor's wife, it has also saved a lot of money, but this time on the trip to the south of King Qin, the Besta Military Region can be regarded as really bleeding.
This act can also be said to demonstrate the determination of the Governor's wife.
This trip is related to the future fate of the Besta Military District, and it is not ordinary All the way to the south, the army left the Besta Military Region, along the Esria County to the south, Esria County has been annexed by the Besta Military District, there are still supplies along the way, but after a few days of travel, out of the Esria County, even if it is completely into the enemy area.
However, the situation has changed at this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry marched, openly played the banner of protecting the country and the king, just went all the way south, passing along the way, even if it was the rebel forces of the local military district, but they did not dare to stop the news of Osgillia at this time had been spread, the rebels were defeated and lost, and the remaining forces in the local area only had the mind of self-preservation, where were they willing to engage the enemy army in transit Char and the governor's wife also had a tacit understanding, but they blindly marched southward, and the towns they passed along the way were all around the city, never pestering and staying, even if they occasionally stopped to repair or replenish supplies and fresh water, and did not clash with the remnants of the local rebels.
There was even such an interesting thing happened along the way: when passing through some cities, the army stopped less, and when replenishing horsepower and fresh water, the rebel defenders in the city closed the city gate and never went out of the city to meet the enemy, and even some rebels, after figuring out that the cavalry outside the city just stopped to replenish supplies, and sent people to drop some water and food from the city wall to send each other for only one purpose, and quickly send these plague gods out of their own defense area as soon as possible.
The morale of the rebel forces has fallen to such a low level, which makes Char a little surprised, in his mind, even if he suffered some losses in Osgiria, but after all, there are dozens of military regions in the Red Round Table, controlling more than half of the territory of the Byzantine Empire, and there are hundreds of thousands of armor and a huge force with a population of 10 million, even if it suffers a loss in Osgilia, it will not collapse immediately, and if the empire wants to sweep away the Quartet and restore the decree, I am afraid that there will be several years of civil war to fight.
But I didn't expect that the rebels in these places did not have the slightest intention to fight, and even looked at these places and some smaller towns, the rebels had even put on a posture of surrendering, if Char showed a little intention of attacking the city, maybe the other party would really open the door and surrender.
Such a situation made Char smile bitterly and helpless in his heart.
But the governor's wife, whose face became more and more gloomy There is no other reason, if the rebels have fallen into such a decadence, then their own surrender, for the empire, I am afraid that the weight will become lighter and lighter, in case there are rebels who surrender first, then their own merits can still have a little weight in the emperor's heart With this anxious thought in her heart, the governor's wife hastened to urge Char to march and make sure that she could get to Osgilia as soon as possible.
She is a weak woman, in this cavalry army with the army, along the way has suffered enough, the army is out, naturally there is no luxurious and comfortable carriage for her to ride, her gorgeous excessive carriage is naturally impossible to follow the army, just an ordinary marching carriage, even down, the bones of the early people are about to fall apart, this governor's wife has obviously never suffered such a hardship, the army has been gone for seven or eight days, her whole person has lost a circle, there is a lot of haze in her expression, and her complexion is also a lot worse.
Another interesting thing is that General Lear, who accompanied him on his journey south.
In the previous few dealings, Char understood that this Lear was definitely a cunning and clever guy, in the Besta Military Region, the governor's wife was already powerful, this Lear general was supported by a few old courtiers as the heir, it was really a thorn in the side of the governor's wife, this time the governor's wife named him to go south with the army, this Lear general was also well-behaved, after receiving the order, he did not dare to take the slightest coercion and hesitate, and obediently led the order to go south with the army.
He was accompanied by only fifty horsemen and a squad of troops drawn from his own headquarters.
It stands to reason that General Lear is in the Besta Military Region, and he can be supported by some old courtiers to fight with the governor's wife, and he has a little bit of military power in his hands.
It's just that he only brought such a few people, if he changed others, in order to protect his own safety, he naturally wanted to bring all the elites with him, but this Lear's approach made Char look at him at a higher level The reason is simple, the whole army of 7,000 cavalry is the Governor's wife's cronies, and even if he Lear takes all his cronies and cavalry with him, surrounded by the governor's wife's 7,000 cavalry, how much can he make waves, if the Governor's wife really wants to kill him, even if he Lear brings many people, it is useless In this case, it is better to simply be a single, and only bring dozens of horsemen and guards to show generosity.
Besides, if you bring too many soldiers, maybe the governor's wife will find an excuse to send his men and horses out as cannon fodder, such as charging to be a death squad or something.
But he only brought a few dozen horsemen, and even if the governor's wife wanted to make it bad and let his people be cannon fodder, she really couldn't find any excuse.
Dozens of horsemen, being a scout are a little reluctant, not to mention that if it is true that the governor's wife points to a city and lets Lear's dozens of cavalry go up to take the lead, this naked framing move, in front of the eyes of the army, the governor's wife really can't do it.
By doing so, Lear showed his courage and shrewdness, but at the same time, he also had a deeper meaning: he preserved his strength And this Lear's smarter move is that along the way, whether it is marching, stopping for food, or repairing, he always stays by Char's side and Char can watch this General Lear dangling in front of him with a smile on his face every day, and he will never step out of his sight It's also a way to seek protection.
Even if the Governor's wife had the heart to kill this threat, she would always be embarrassed to raise the butcher's knife in front of Char's ally.
In that case, the appearance of eating will be too ugly to make people look down.
Along the way, this General Lear and Char are inseparable, but it makes Char a little more interesting, this Lear is really a wonderful person, a little moment, he can talk and laugh with Char, he is also a learned person, and Char casually chatted about some martial arts and military strategies along the way, but it also reduced the long-distance loneliness a lot.
Even Char's personal guards had a good impression of this enthusiastic General Lear.
Seeing that Char and Lear were inseparable, as if they were becoming more and more speculative, the Governor's wife looked at it as if she didn't see it.
It's just that occasionally there will be a glimmer of essence in those charming eyes, and I don't know what this shrewd woman is turning her mind again.
When the army marched to the eleventh day and entered the Armenian Military District, Char finally felt some pressure The Armenian Military District was the old nest of Hughes and the backbone of the rebel coalition.
After entering the Armenian Military District, he walked for only a short time when he encountered a small group of scout cavalry of the Armenian Military District.
The vanguard cavalry in front and the Armenian scout squad engaged in two small battles, the Armenian scouts were not low, and after injuring some men and horses, they hurried away, but then, the army went all the way south, but finally encountered some resistance.
First of all, in the villages and towns and other places where they passed, the Armenian defenders put on a posture of being ready to fight, the city gates were closed, and the defenders on the city walls were all arrows and knives, and even the ballistas were put out.
Looking at this posture, if Char's cavalry still wanted to calmly replenish supplies or stop to rest and recuperate as they had done all the way before, it would be no longer a thought of it.
Looking at the hostile eyes of these defenders of the Armenian Military Region, Char was sure that if he slacked off a little, the other party would definitely come over and attack without hesitation.
As for the rebel defenders in some places along the way before, they also took the initiative to "contribute" supplies, food, and fresh water, which naturally will never happen here again.
When the cavalry entered the country, the Armenian side immediately put on strict guard.
After Char's army entered the second day, it became more and more difficult to replenish supplies and fresh water along the way, and news came from the scouts around that a small group of Armenian cavalry had been hanging far away on both sides or behind the army, although the number was very small, and Char's tens of thousands of cavalry could not form a threat, but this posture finally made Char feel a little "normal".
That's right, it's like a posture between friend and foe.
And the news from the scouts is increasing, the Armenian defenders have been dispatched to assemble, and thousands of Armenian rebels have even gathered on the road to Merika, the capital of the Armenian Military District, ready to intercept this cavalry at any time.
The Armenian Military District has always been known for its elite armor, and the equipment of the heavy infantry of the military district ranks first in the empire.
Although there are tens of thousands of cavalry, if they really fight, they will not really be afraid of the thousands of Armenian troops, but Char is thousands of miles away from the homeland after all, and it is not a smart move to fight to the death with the other party on other people's territory.
Moreover, the posture of the Armenian army is also very clear: to defend the capital city of Merika.

And Char had no interest in attacking Merika City, so he simply grinned and ordered the army to take a detour, bypassing the main road to Merika City and heading straight for Osgiria.
When the Armenian army learned that the other side had made a detour, the whole army did not chase after them, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After passing the city of Merika, the guard quickened up at a speed, and within two days, the army left the border of the Armenian Military District and entered the central administrative region of the empire This central administrative region of the empire, commonly known as the Yenching Administrative Region, entered here, and in a broad sense, it was considered to have reached Osgilia.
The area of the administrative district was about the size of half an imperial administrative county, and included a large area of land including Yanjing Osgilia and the four acropolis, as well as several small towns around it.
As soon as the army entered this place, it immediately felt the depression brought about by the war.
The rebels besieged Yanjing for nearly a year, hundreds of thousands of rebels Chen Bingcheng, the entire surrounding area of the administrative region of Osgilia, large and small towns, and four acropolises, have long fallen into the hands of the rebels, the place was looted by the rebels, the villages and towns passed through, all were empty, ten households and nine empty, the closer to Osgilia, the more the place was a place of barrage, villages and towns were burned, and the woods were cut down.
Hundreds of thousands of rebels have been entrenched in this area for more than half a year, and the materials and ordnance consumed, in addition to being transported from the rear, have to be requisitioned on the spot.
In some small villages and towns, there were even rebel logistics troops left behind to escort all the way forward, and the vanguard cavalry had already exchanged fire with some rebels, and there were a few small battles.
Fortunately, most of the rebels did not have the heart to fight, and when the cavalry arrived, except for a few brave people who resisted, most of them walked away, leaving behind the villages and towns that had already been destroyed.
The report of the pioneer of six villages and towns, six battles and six victories, and the recovery of six towns was passed down, and Char only sneered when he saw it.
In his opinion, this kind of "good news" is really too pediatric.
However, the governor's wife seems to attach great importance to this kind of child's play, and the officers in the army who solemnly ordered the matter are recorded, in her opinion, these are the "war exploits" of her own support, and these achievements are all capital.
Now that they had entered the "war zone", the march could no longer be as aggressive as before, and Char ordered the troops to gather up and move slowly, carefully guarded.
In order to prevent encounters with rebel brigades at any time.
That night, less than two hundred miles from Osgilia, a small town stopped for repairs.
According to Char's meaning, it is best for the army to be repaired here for two days, and to cultivate enough mental strength, so that it can only have combat strength under the city of Osgilia.
But the governor's wife insisted on hurrying as soon as possible, and after the two discussed, Char gave in slightly, and only let the army rest here for the night.
Since he was already in the war zone, he rested that night, Char put on full vigilance, patrolled the bright and dark sentinels, and the whole army waited for him, no one took off his armor, and the horse did not take off the saddle, and Char himself ordered all his cavalry to sleep in their clothes, and their weapons were not to leave their bodies In the second half of the night, Char suddenly woke up in his sleep, only to feel an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
After he jumped up, his eyes were full of essence, and he suddenly jumped out of the house, looked in the direction of the south, and then took a deep breath and shouted: "Get up and go to war" As soon as he shouted the order, all around him were the elites of the hundred battles who went south with him to fight the Red Snow Army, and they immediately moved when they heard the sound, and one by one the elites jumped up, and there was still a little sleepiness on their faces, and they all picked up the weapons in their hands.
Char laughed: "Prepare the horses, let's start fighting" At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance outside the town, and several scout posts were flying towards them, and along the way, the rest of the cavalry in the town woke up one after another, and under the shouts of the officers, they began to line up "Prepare for war" Such shouts were heard throughout the town in the middle of the night.
The cavalry scouts rushed to the place where Char and other leaders were stationed in the middle of the town, turned over and dismounted, and the cavalry on the horse was already sweating profusely, but his face was excited, and before he could run to him, he said loudly: "The general's military situation is urgent" Char laughed and strode up: "Speak" The cavalryman raised his head and said loudly: "There is a movement from the direction of the city of Osgilia, the emperor attacked the rebel coalition camp at night, the rebels were defeated, and they were out of control, and the rebels who had collapsed at this moment were coming towards us."
As soon as he heard this, Char's eyes suddenly lit up, and a trace of essence flashed, and he immediately shouted without hesitation: "The whole army assembles and ranks up to blow the trumpet to meet the enemy."
Originally, in the war zone, although everyone was resting, they naturally would not sleep too steadily, under this assembly order, the whole army immediately took action, these 10,000 cavalry can be called elite, and Char's more than 2,000 cavalry is the elite of the elite, and they moved when they heard the order, but in a moment, Char's cavalry had already gathered at the entrance of the town, but the cavalry of the Besta Military Region was still in a panic to prepare for horses.
Char sneered, and didn't wait for the people of the Besta Military Region, seeing that his cavalry had lined up and set up a posture to meet the battle, Char turned over and got on his horse, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice next to him say loudly: "Where is the general?"
When I looked back, it was Lear's guy.
This guy was actually fully armed, dressed in armor, and ran to Char's side with his war horse, and dozens of horsemen behind him, all of whom were the elite of his cronies.
"Naturally, it's time to fight."
Char said lightly: "The fighter plane should not be missed, I will lead my men and horses to rush up and kill first, you go and inform the wife of the governor of your department, and ask your cavalry to come and answer later." ” Lear listened, smiled lightly, and pointed to a guard beside him: "You go and tell the governor's wife."
Then he himself turned on his horse, came to Char's side, and said with a smile: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and Lear is willing to rush to kill with the general."
Leave the small things to my subordinates. ” Char looked at this Lear twice, and knew that this guy didn't dare to stay alone in that woman's eyelids, and he didn't poke the other party, but just smiled faintly, nodded, and then grabbed the spear and shouted, "Rodria will follow me to meet the enemy and move forward" "Forward" Thousands of majestic voices suddenly shouted in unison, and Char had already rushed out first Behind him, spears are like forests, iron hooves are trampled, and dust is flying Char's two thousand cavalry rushed out of the town to the south, and it took only a quarter of an hour to walk, and when they rushed through a high slope, they could already hear a tidal wave of shouts and shouts in front of them Char rushed up the high slope, sat on the back of the horse and looked at it, and immediately took a sharp breath Rout What a rout As far as the eye can see, under the wilderness in front of you, the mountains are all densely packed like a tide, and the defeated rebel coalition army has thrown away its armor and abandoned its armor, and the wolves have rushed to the slaughter, and the army has been crushed As far as the eye can see, this wave of rout seems to be sprinkled on the earth at night, and the boundless view is through the starlight and moonlight, as if the whole earth is full of waves of rout The rebels were really defeated Running wildly all the way, crying dad and shouting mother, running and crying and mourning, I don't know how many weapons and armor flags were scattered on the road, and the wave just rolled in, which was thrilling to watch Only in the distance, at the end of this rout wave, there seems to be a faint sound of fighting, but the voice has become weaker and weaker, and more is the screaming and miserable Char saw the scene in front of him, inhaled it into his chest in one breath, and then spit out a long time, looking at such a huge rout torrent in front of him, he was also shocked It's just that this moment of trance disappeared, and Char immediately puffed up his breath and shouted: "Break the enemy tonight with me and blow the trumpet forward."
Naturally, the trumpeter of the cavalry behind him blew the horn of the cavalry's charge, and the loud and sharp trumpet pierced the night sky, and in the midst of Char's majestic roar, a horse took the lead from the high slope, and the large group of cavalry behind him also turned into a black rolling torrent and poured down, swooping down fiercely towards the wave of defeat To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
