Chapter 295: [Scarlet Snow Night] (16)


It's not that he's lazy, it's not that there's something going on at home, it's really Kavin.

I really wanted to write this scene well and write about the feeling, but I never had that state.

I'd love to write Crimson Night as the first big one of the book, so I'd rather not write it because it's not in good shape I'm really not making money, if it's to make money, I'm pouring water and cheating words, my manuscript fee is not a subscription, it's a buyout by the number of words, if you want to make money, I irrigate 10,000 words a day, it's not that I can't do it I really want to write this "Scarlet Snow Night" in my heart, and please understand me. ` Chapter 295: Crimson Night Sixteen When later generations look back on this year's New Year's Eve, many historians tend to compare it to the famous summer celebration 140 years ago.

Of course, this argument has also been questioned and criticized by many historians.

Because one hundred and forty years ago, the famous coup d'état not only changed the fortunes of the empire, but more importantly, gave birth to several legendary figures who have influenced generations.

For example, the regent who killed his brother and imprisoned his father in the coup d'état, usurped the throne and ascended to the throne.

For example, the Grand Duke of Tulip who finally let go of the hooves and became a blockbuster, changed the fortunes of the empire for a hundred years, created countless miracles, and left a miracle that shook the past and the present to future generations And this year's New Year's Eve, from the time of view, seems to be difficult to compare with the summer celebration more than 100 years ago.

When people look back on this coup d'état in the snow, they may only remember the bloody spills in the snow.

Maybe you will only remember the one that happened on the long street.

Perhaps only the duel on the top of the Imperial City will be remembered.

However, it is only many years later that people will realize that the coup d'état has brought no less change to this ancient human empire than the coup d'état 140 years ago On the contrary, from a certain point of view, the chain reaction and change brought about by this coup d'état have completely reversed the fate of this empire, or the fate of mankind in this world, to another channel.

Just like the rushing river of history, on this night, there was suddenly a huge sharp turn Of course, in the process of this rapid turn, the long river that rushes and the huge wave that erupts vigorously sweeps away how much sediment, how much pearl and jade, how much It's just that at that time, people were in this long river, in this chaos, and they didn't seem to be able to see so much "The third team, close the Pratunam Wharf, prohibit the entry and exit of idle people, hurry up, fast, fast" "No one is allowed to enter unless there is a warrant from the General" "Don't grind, boys are running up for me and setting up roadblocks at the intersection" "Don't talk nonsense, send someone to remove the door panel for me and the sandbags piled up on the dock, move them over and use them first, and I will teach you."

"What kind of security station, we are the whip of the thunder god and ordered to take over the city defense, let those two dogs get away and trespass, what to do, and I want to teach you" "The general's military order doesn't need me to repeat it, what you need is to execute it, do you hear it clearly, execute it" "Go watch the horses hell this damn weather" At Watergate Wharf, the roar of Cochran, the commander of the 2nd Division and the 3rd Infantry Regiment of Thor's Whip, could be heard through the thick wind and snow throughout the streets.

This forty-one-year-old Imperial Commander is not too young compared to his rank.

But to be the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of Thor's Whip, the biggest capital is his background.

The forty-one-year-old Cochran was born in the Rollin family, just like thousands of "Rollins", his father had served under the Count of Berrion and served in the Empire's Northern Storm Legion for half his life, and he had served in the Rollin family's private army since he was young, and was transferred to serve in the Empire's most elite Thor's Whip Legion eleven years ago along with Aker.

Cochran, an officer who has been promoted all the way from a lieutenant to the commander level, has the force of a middle-level samurai, and he is not weak in military strategy, and he has also briefly entered the Imperial Academy for further study, of course, everyone knows that this kind of training is only gilded.

His appearance is powerful, short and sudden, because he rides a horse all the year round, and a pair of lap legs can be seen to be a standard cavalryman.

However, in order to obey the family's arrangement, and to ensure that Aker, the future leader of the Rollin family, has enough lineage and enough voice in the army after entering Thor's Whip, Cochrane was transferred to Thor's Whip, and had to leave his favorite cavalry and become an infantry officer.

This walk is eleven years.

His greatest trait is loyalty Of course, this loyalty was only to the Rollin family or, more directly, to Aker himself So in tonight's upheaval, Cochran played an important role With the exception of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, which Acker personally commanded, and the Rollin family, which was directly under the Cavalry Guards, Cochran was one of the few people who knew part of the coup plan in advance No one knows what Cochran himself was thinking about tonight's events, but at least on the surface, he showed a firm stance and absolute loyalty to Aker The task given to him by Aker is not light, requiring him to lead the army and control the water gate and the docks It is a water lifeline to the outside world in addition to a few gates Even if the city defense has been controlled by the other armies of Thor's Whip, because it is close to the Lancang Canal, and if something happens, then less than twenty miles upstream of the Lancang Canal is a military stronghold of one of the four acropolis of the Empire, where an infantry regiment belonging to the Wangcheng Guards is stationed, and there is also a small inland river fleet with four Sea Soul-class warships Once an accident is issued, then this garrison upstream can immediately set off, take this inland river fleet, go downstream, and be able to attack under the water gate in just one hour Although the four Sea Soul class warships are just small sampans if they are placed on the sea, if they are thrown on the inland rivers of the Lancang Canal, that is the existence of a giant Mac, each warship is equipped with four ballistas as standard, and the carrying capacity that can carry three hundred soldiers, as well as the water battering ram specially built for water fortifications, will become a nightmare for any fortification Cochran's mission was simple, and Aker's requirements for him were clear, so clear that there were only two: First, control the army Although Aker has served in the second division of Thor's Whip for many years, and has also brought a large number of descendants of the Rollin family, which have been placed in important positions at all levels in the division, it can be said that almost one-third of the middle-level officers in the entire division are from the Rollin family, and among the low-level officers, there are a large number of children of the Rollin family, and over the years, Aker has also established a unique personal prestige and authority in this army.

However, after all, this army is eating the food and salary of the empire, and when it is really time to raise the flag of rebellion, no one can say how many small soldiers will oppose or resist.

Therefore, Cochran's task is not clear, he needs to control this army well, so that the strength of this army can be used on the major matter of "rebellion".

And the second task given to him by Aker is to protect this water gate "Before midnight, the city gate must not be opened, even if someone is attacking the city, you must guard this city gate for me until midnight, even if the water fleet is all opened to the city, even if you Cochran personally take people to fill me with flesh and blood, you must keep the water gate until midnight, not a single soldier shall enter from your defense area" These were the exact words Aker had to say to Cochrane.

Cochran clearly remembered that the Mesozoic leader of the Rollin family, who had always been known for his composure and majesty, had red eyes and a hideous face when he said this, revealing a rare nervousness and anxiety So, Cochran is well aware of the weight of his burden.

As the night deepened, the blizzard that had raged all night gradually stopped, and the annoying blizzard gradually stopped, and Cochran could already faintly hear the sound of scratching from the long street in the distance, and the patrol team of the security station had lost order, and the hundreds of thousands of tourists who went to the street tonight to watch the excitement almost turned the whole into a pot of porridge After receiving the order, the nearby security patrol team quickly evacuated one by one.

Others came directly to Cochran for help, hoping that he would send some of his soldiers with the troops of the security station to "quell the rebellion".

Received the news that it seems that there was an incident in the East Garden.

Cochran sternly refused the sheriff's request, and then ruthlessly ordered his soldiers to drive the police patrols out of their own defense area immediately.

After the vigilante patrol departed, Cochran had to confront his suspicious officers and soldiers.

He had no choice but to take out the majesty of his commander and take out Aker's military order to suppress it.

The army has no trouble for the time being.

Thor's Whip is the elite of the Empire, and soldiers and officers alike have become accustomed to strictly enforcing military orders without questioning.

But now, with the docks under control, Cochran has even ordered the warehouse doors on the docks to be dismantled, and the sandbags and boxes piled up in the yards are removed, discarded under the water gates, and the river is filled Such an order finally aroused the doubts of the soldiers and officers.

Even the most unresponsive person finally realized that something was wrong with this order It was only a short takeover of the defense area, why did you want to make such a sabotage of the water gate Once the waterway is filled, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to clear the river in the future.

We are here to temporarily take over the city's defenses, why do we want to do such a complete destruction Cochran had already prepared for it, and he quickly arranged the guards around him to finally Rollin's house, and then gathered a group of middle-level officers, all of whom were gathered in a warehouse next to the dock, which was a temporary defense zone command post.

When the twenty-nine mid-level officers walked into the makeshift command post, they weren't aware of anything out of the ordinary.

When a member of an infantry brigade complained to Cochran about whether the soldiers had violated the rules of ownership of property in the Imperial Civil Code when they dismantled the docks, Cochran replied calmly with a "military administration".

But when another captain directly questioned the order to fill the river, Cochran's face finally darkened.

The captain's officer was unaware of it, but still protested impassionedly and loudly "Even if it is General Aker's military order, such a move is a chaotic order for us to temporarily take over the city defense, there is no right to do such a thing, the military department will definitely hold us accountable afterwards Filling the river will cause long-term damage to the dock, and it is winter, the road is blocked by heavy snow, the Lancang Canal is an important material supply line, once we do this, we will bear too much responsibility, Lord Cochran, this matter is by no means so simple Even General Aker has no right to make such an order, Even if it is a supreme order from the Ministry of War, but according to the Imperial Decree, the destruction of important civil affairs facilities will be ordered by the Government Affairs Bureau.

No one noticed that Cochran's face had turned blue as the officer questioned loudly, and his hand had silently pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist for some time.

As he took a deep breath, his left hand made a swift hidden fist movement.

Not many people noticed that just outside this warehouse, the heavy warehouse door had been slowly closed The heavily armed guards of the children of the Luo Lin family had quietly crowded the edge of the warehouse, completely blocking the space leading to the warehouse gate "Such a disorderly order, I refuse to carry out even if I am punished by the military order afterwards, I will disobey the order, this is" The captain was still trying to tell what was going on, when suddenly, Cochran had already taken two steps and swung his saber directly at him.

The captain's head flew into the air, and his blood sprayed With blood on his face, Cochran took a step forward, kicked the corpse away, and shouted "The decree is rebellious, the children of the Luo Lin family and the tulip family are deposed, and the ten family alliances are born and die" The officers in the warehouse were stunned by the sudden turn of events In accordance with the rules of the normal military meeting, none of the officers who entered the command post carried any weapons.

The officers with their bare hands, facing the guards of the Rollin family with swords and swords, and facing the raised butcher knives, some were shocked, some were shocked, some were frightened, and some were dazed.

Cochran didn't give them much time.

"The children of the Rollin family are cleared, and those who kneel down are born" At the sound of an order, the already unarmed guards had already raised their butcher knives and rushed towards the group of officers The snow outside was already standing up, but the wind was getting stronger.

The wind blew away the cries and wails that came from the warehouse, tearing the curses and screams into shards in the wind.

In the distance, I saw only rare blood flowing out of the crack in the door That night, 29 middle-level officers, including the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Imperial Thor's Whip, 2 deputy regiment commanders, and 3 group leaders, were all killed, and none survived These elite elite officer corps that the empire has spent ten years cultivating, these soldiers who have been trained in the treacherous swamps of the southern frontier of the empire, these elite of the empire who once herded horses in the northwest and fought against foreign iron horses, have not died at the hands of the foreign enemies of the empire, but they have fallen tonight. fell under the butcher's knife of his own people The same "purge" took place in several defense areas.

Triumphal Arch, Guangfu Gate, Xiyuan Defense Area, Achilles Street In the defense areas taken over by Thor's whip one by one, the officers of the Rollin family's descendants carried out one "secret purge" after another.

According to the statistics afterwards, on this night, the empire's most elite ace army, known as one of the four elite divisions of the empire, the second division of the Thor's whip, a total of 321 officers were "purged".

The three hundred and twenty-one elite officers of the army, who had spent countless financial and material resources to cultivate, were all killed on this snowy night The bodies of most of them were hastily buried on the spot, and their names were quickly crossed off the army rolls.

Many of them have also been stigmatized on charges of treason and treason.

Half a year after the end of the coup, during the cleaning of the Empire's Water Gate, some salvages dug up several bones that had sunk to the bottom of the river with stones tied to them This night, the wind and snow, covered up I don't know how many sins On this night, the tide swept by the long river of history is destined to make this night famous in the annals of history.

However, it was destined that the names of these people would not appear in the history books.

"If my brother hadn't known you so well, he would have been deceived by you."

Above the main hall, when the shouts of "disobedience" from the surrounding Storm Legion were gradually approaching, Shiloh still looked at his brother with such a calm smile, looking at the emperor of the empire.

"Oh," the Emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Your Highness" Aker's eyes were red, he clenched the long knife in his hand, and only felt that the shouts around him were like sharp knives ripping off his flesh and blood, taking away the courage and hope in his heart.

"Don't panic" Shiloh suddenly snapped off This loud shout shook the entire hall, and the sound even made people's eardrums buzz Shiloh raised the bow in his hand, his fingers firmly holding the corners of the bow, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a faint playful smile on his face.

"Brother, if this is your hole card, then tonight you lose" The emperor was silent and silent Outside the main hall, a fierce battle has begun The soldiers of the Stormwind Army, who rushed from the east, slammed into the ranks of the Thor's Whip rebels.

After all, these soldiers of the Storm Legion are the elite who have been transferred back from the northern border, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to those fancy Royal Forest Army.

It's just a mere team of people, and they almost shake the queue of Thor's whip Of course, the bigger reason is that Thor's whip was suddenly shaken by this scene of "shouting and killing from all sides".

The sound of the battle soon reached the main hall, the angry roar of the warriors, the roar of the dying, and the sonorous clashing of swords The cold voice seemed to have all become Shiloh's background.

He swept through the hall one by one with cold eyes, with a hint of disdain in his expression when he swept past the "real Augustine", and when he swept over the nobles crowded in the surrounding corners, his eyes were contemptuous.

It was only when he swept over the Imperial Ministers who defended the steps of the main hall, as well as the Goths and other officers, that Shiloh showed a hint of solemnity.

Then, he sighed softly: "Brother, how many people do you have enough for me to kill" How many people there are enough for me to kill This is extremely arrogant "The city defense has always been in the hands of the city guards, Panin is my man, although I can't control the city guards, but Panin's father is sitting there, if the Storm Legion wants to mobilize people to enter, it is absolutely impossible."

Shiloh seemed to be talking to himself, his tone unexpectedly calm, almost cold-blooded It was as if there was a shout of killing outside the hall behind him, and at this moment, he heard it like a breeze in the summer day.

"Brother, I have arranged a bureau, and you have also arranged a bureau.

The bureau I set up was for the sake of tonight's incident, and the bureau you set up seems to be for tonight's rebellion, or rather, you have long thought that there will be people who oppose it tonight, and someone will raise things.

But you have been inducing that you have 20,000 troops of the Wangcheng Guard, thousands of Imperial Guards and thousands of Sheriff's Army, but you have always kept the sword in your hand and refused to fall, you have deliberately created a tense situation, you have deliberately transferred the Wangcheng Guards out of the city, you have deliberately put the whip of Thor into the city, of course, you made a mistake in this move, and I intercepted you, but your general strategy will not be wrong, your purpose is to lure out all the people who are making trouble tonight, and then use your advantage to kill all those who oppose you tonight, Hunting them all out is not only for your future rule, but also for the sake of this son of yours Therefore, your strategic purpose will not change to do it for the opponents tonight, you will never move troops and horses into the city in a big way, and you are worried that the butcher's knife is too scary, which will allow those hidden opponents to lurk, so that you can't find a target, so there will never be many people from the Storm Army you transfer You just took advantage of the Goth to return, and took the opportunity to send a small number of elites in with a secret order.

With Panin's father in charge of the Wangcheng Guards, I at least have some numbers in my heart about who has come in and out of the city defense.

If you mobilize too many people, I will not be unaware of it, so according to my calculations" Shiloh quickly raised a few fingers.

"Five hundred or eight hundred, it can't be more, if there are more, the news can't be concealed, and the army is transferred from the north, this is your foreshadowing, and it is also your dark chess, or rather, you didn't plan to use this step of dark chess, this is just a hand you prepared to prevent accidents.

It was you, as an emperor, who were suspicious of the Heavenly Surname, who made such an extra preparation, however, tonight, when you saw the sudden rebellion of the Thunder God's whip, your idle move became your reliance on turning the tables."

Shiloh said this, smiling lightly, his gaze as sharp as a knife "It's a pity it's not enough" Word by word, piercing people's hearts The Emperor on the steps was silent, but still staring at his brother with his squinting eyes.

However, at this moment, the emperor does not speak, but it has become the biggest "circumstantial evidence" Aker suddenly felt the soul of his whole body return to his body.

He took a deep breath and rushed out of the hall without looking back.

"Thor's Whip Formation Formation Formation Pushes Them Back" Aker roared angrily, as if he was also annoyed that he had almost been deceived, he frantically urged the soldiers, outside the main hall, there was this backbone of the town, and the morale gradually stabilized.

Thor's whip quickly stabilized its position.

The Storm Army's charge, wave after wave, never broke through their array The first wave, the second wave In the palace, when the three waves of storm troops on the east and west sides and the north all rushed outside the main hall, Aker's heart finally completely put into his stomach He was half a horse, and even if he just glanced at it, he immediately judged the number of opponents As Shiloh said The number of soldiers of the Stormwind Legion who swarmed was only between five hundred and eight hundred It's just a small infantry regiment, and it's not yet fully formed "You can't win a traitor" Standing on the steps, the Count of Barion, who was supported by the people around him, suddenly stared at Shiloh and roared angrily "Oh Earl, I think I'm going to lose" Shiloh smiled.

"You" Count Berrion raised his head and suddenly said fiercely: "Even if there are only a few hundred people, it is enough to resist you for at least a few hours, you are just dying" "Hahahaha," Shiloh laughed He pointed at Count Berrion and shouted: "Lord Earl, your words not only despise me, but also despise your son, do you think that General Aker has been in charge for many years and has been operating for many years The Second Division of Thor's Whip is the only one who has this strength to follow him?"

Barrion didn't speak.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, even if he hated his son's rebellion tonight, but Berion knew his son's ability, he had been operating in the second division for many years, and he had already run the second division like an iron bucket, and in order to support him, the family had installed a large number of children of the Rollin family in the whip of Thor And the loyalty of the children of the Rollin family is deeply aware of the old earl The Rollins have always been an outlier in the Empire If there are only two families in the empire, the children of the family are the most loyal, and the degree of loyalty to the family is much higher than the degree of loyalty to the empire.

Then the first to bear the brunt is the Rollin family and the tulip family Moreover, the Tulip family, which has inexplicably lost its patriarch for several generations, may be slightly less loyal than the Rollin family, which has been run for generations Once Aker, the future heir of the family, sets up the banner of rebellion, then those loyal to his Rollin family will not hesitate to follow him to the end The people of Rollin have always been loyal to the Rollin family "Right now, while you're angrily scolding me, the children of the Rollin family are purging the city of the minority in the army."

Shiloh smiled faintly: "Otherwise, why do you think General Aker obviously brought in the second division, but only brought so many more than 1,000 people to the palace to force the palace, is it because his ability is too poor, he can only control and mobilize more than 1,000 people to do things?"

After all, Berion is also a veteran of a generation of empires, and after a little thought, he understands the key "You have deliberately divided the army into various places, and then purged them in batches," said the Count of Berrion, who at last could not stand still, and fell to the ground.

"The Earl's reaction is indeed not slow."

Shiloh smiled lightly: "If the army is concentrated together, then the purge will inevitably cause a big mutiny, but if it is scattered in several defense areas, then it will be much smaller, and even if there is any problem, it will not affect the whole person, and I will never be used to putting all my eggs in one basket." ” As he spoke, he raised his head again and looked at the emperor: "Brother, you now have hundreds of Storm Legions in your hands, but I now have thousands of Thunder God Whips in my hands and just outside your palace, there are at least ten thousand Thunder God Whips in this whole city, and they will be killed here immediately after the cleansing is completed, my dear brother, your hole cards, what else" Xiluo lit up the longbow in his hand, pointed at the emperor from afar, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Brother I'm sorry again, general" to be continued
