[Jinghu County]

[Bazenauer]

"Bang!"

A wet springboard is on the pier.

"Go! Go out! Don't stop!"

The soldier carrying weapons and carrying bags unconsciously narrowed his eyes. While trying to adapt to the dazzling light outside the cabin, he left the deck and stepped onto the dock.

The name of "Bazenauer" in Jinghu County is derived from Hedian, meaning "a lake with abundant water and grass".

As early as the reign of the Hed tribes, Bazenaur was already a densely populated land with developed agriculture. During the heyday of the Hed tribes, tens of thousands of serfs fled Palatu and came to this small plain surrounded by mountains and rivers to farm and work for the Khan on the grassland.

After Palatu conquered the "New Reclamation Land", Bazenaur's status and wealth soared. With its well-connected waterways, it became the trade and transportation center of the New Reclamation Land.

Since the outbreak of the civil war, with traffic severing and trade declined, there were no longer a steady stream of merchant ships in the port of Bazenaur, and there were no more bustling convoys in the outskirts of Bazenaur.

Apart from the flocks of water birds and the lonely fishing boats returning, no one came to visit the port by the "lake of abundant water and grass".

However, at this moment, the dock in Bazenaur was crowded with people, sweeping away the past desertedness.

All berths that can be docked on large ships have been occupied. People, baggage, and livestock are poured out of the cabin and rushed to the dock in disorder.

Even though the port of Bazenaur is already the largest port in Xinqing, it is still stuffed.

At the same time, outside the port, there are more flat-bottomed barges coming from Jiangbei waiting for berths.

“Ying …”

At the exit of the pier, a beautiful and sturdy black horse with no hair on its forehead made a harsh squeal, and suddenly stood up.

The soldiers next to them were unable to dodge and were swept into the water one after another. The soldiers nearby hurriedly retreated, pushing the soldiers who had not yet walked out of the pier and retreated.

The crowded scene was like an invisible wave spreading outwards. Just a few "punches" sounds, and soldiers were squeezed down at the end of the trestle.

The black horse had no idea how much chaos it had caused. Its eye mask fell down, revealing a pair of light yellow eyes full of fear and anger.

The horse was angry and stubbornly refused to walk down the pier. No matter how the groom comforted him, it would be useless.

There are two trest bridges in the pier in Bazenaur that extend to deep water. Because this spoiled and beloved war horse was paralyzed half of the time.

A middle-sized and well-behaved school official pushed the soldiers away, walked through the crowd, and striding towards the black war horse.

The school officer not only did not have the common beards among officers Paratu, but even shaved the stubble; his natural silver hair was neatly combed behind his head, and he tied it into a capable ponytail with a simple dark ribbon. Apart from the ribbon, he had no accessories on his body.

He walked to the dark horse, drew out the short gun, pushed open the cover of the medicine pool in an orderly manner, and pulled off the flint. Before the others could react, he could kill the out-of-control war horse without blinking.

"Push the horse's corpse into the lake, don't waste time." The school official took out a handkerchief, wiped the short gun stained with black dust, and woke up the soldier who was still watching the fun: "Keep going!"

The blocked passages were cleared, and the river made of people, horses and supplies resumed flow.

"Col. Colonel Gaspar!" A lieutenant squeezed into the school officer with difficulty against the crowd, and saluted with sweat: "Major Karkin and the mayor and representatives of Bazenaur are waiting for you to receive!"

"Tell Kalkin, I don't have time to greet politicians now." Colonel Gaspar replied politely but mercilessly: "Tell the mayor again, let him be prepared-I will recruit every man and woman with good limbs in Bazenaur. He will protest, and you will bring him to see me alone."

The lieutenant knew his superior's character very well, and he saluted without saying a word, turned around and left.

Colonel Gaspar, who stayed at the dock, summoned the logistics officers responsible for the transfer of baggage, took over the dock without any explanation, and began to arrange work with ease:

"You! Go find a small boat and inform all the barges behind - all the baggage barges retreat outside the port to standby, and the barges transporting war horses and soldiers should be given priority. What are you waiting for? Turn back and set off!"

"Don't get out of the boat with soldiers and war horses. Soldiers go to the pier on the east side, and horses go to the pier on the west side, and don't interfere with each other. This matter - you are still responsible, go now!"

"You! Go and find Captain Pegra and let his Hussar squadron be dispatched now. If the horses of Pegra squadron have not been unloaded, you will pass on my orders to make the barge carrying Pegra squadron's war horses the best unloading."

"Empty the warehouse, set up a guard post, and our supplies will be stored separately! All suspicious people who spy on the warehouse will be arrested and then tried!"

"Clean the barracks and divide the boundaries based on a 100-person team. Whether it is an officer or a soldier, it is strictly forbidden to stay in the homes of civilians without authorization!"

"Speed ​​up!" Colonel Gaspar concluded heavily. He turned around and looked at the vast Jinghu Lake, and his eyebrows were unconsciously covered with deep patterns, because he didn't know whether Hongchuan's inland fleet could withstand the Jinliujiang Navy of the pseudo-government: "For every extra ship you unload, we may survive a little more."

The logistics officers each took their own orders and rushed to the assigned positions.

The lieutenant sent to deliver the letter returned to Colonel Gaspar with a man in a gorgeous dress. As soon as the latter saw the colonel, he immediately began to cry:

"Sir! Colonel Gaspar! I am a bad guy who was pushed out. I really can't do your request! Bazenaur has never issued an old case for all citizens, and the representatives of the citizens cannot agree. They dare not make rash moves in front of you, and they will exude all their anger on me. Please show your compassion! Sir! I can give you at most..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Mr. Mayor." Colonel Gaspar stopped the other party's crying, nodded slightly, and said politely: "There are three things you need to know."

"First of all, according to the conclusion I just came to on-site inspection, the city defense of Bazenaur is vulnerable. In fact, you have no city defense at all."

"Secondly, the pseudo-governments of the Kings and Forts will not sit idly by and watch Bazenaur fall. Sooner or later, Bazenaur will surely have a battle."

"Finally, due to limited capacity, I currently have only two thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry. As for whether the follow-up troops can still arrive as scheduled, I don't know."

The mayor of Bazenaur swallowed unconsciously. The colonel said too much information and he could not fully digest it for a while.

"By the way, there is one more thing you need to know," Colonel Gaspar added lightly: "Although there are only four brigades, we will fight to the last one. So, if you don't want your family, houses and wealth to be destroyed by war, please call the citizens now."

[Fengshi City Directly Underground]

[Maple Leaf Castle]

"Our fleet intercepted the fleet of the Hongchuan rebels." As soon as the officers attended, Colonel Saner immediately announced the good news he had just sent to everyone: "Except for a small number of fish that escaped the net, other rebel ships were either sunk, captured, or fled in panic."

The other officers present couldn't help but feel excited.

Before this, Jinghu County had always been in the hands of the "New Reclamation Expeditionary Army".

The Xinkendi Expedition Army, as the name suggests, is the number of troops sent by the Grand Parliament of the Kings to the Xinkendi Province.

Last winter, the New Reclamation Army came to assist the New Reclamation Army to resist the "New Reclamation Expeditionary Force" of the Terdun tribe. After the Terdun tribe was repelled, he did not withdraw immediately, but instead stationed in Jinghu County.

The Xinkendi Legion also had several frictions with the dispatched troops, and both sides suffered casualties.

In the end, General Adams chose to calm down the situation and withdrew the troops of the Xinkendi Legion from Jinghu County.

Then there was the Maple Stone City Incident, General Adams died, the army directly under the Legion disarmed, and Maple Stone City and Maple Leaf Fort fell into the hands of the New Reclamation Expeditionary Army.

Although Colonel Risanel said the Xinkendi Legion was vulnerable, he knew very well in his heart that the most important reason why he could seize Maple Stone City at a small price was that he cooperated inside and outside and was unexpectedly attacked.

Looking at the entire Xinkendi province, there are far more people who are hostile to the Grand Council of the Kings and Castles than those who are loyal to the Grand Council of the Kings and Castles.

Moreover, because of Adams' suicide, everyone who is dissatisfied with the Grand Council of the Kings was ready to move.

In fact, although the gunfire has not really sounded, the outpost battle has already begun: unidentified raccoons were elusive on the path, intercepting messengers and provocates; local troops from each county successively blocked the borders, set up numerous mailboxes on the avenues, and checked any suspicious pedestrians.

Seeing that the new land was about to storm, in order to ensure that Fengshi City was foolproof, Colonel Saner sent more than a dozen messengers to the Kings Fort for help, and on the other hand, he decisively transferred most of the advance troops to Maple Leaf Fort, leaving only a small number of troops in Jinghu County to maintain public order.

However, although this deployment is safe, Jinghu County is in a state of weak garrison for a short time.

Colonel Saner believed that as long as the reinforcements from the Kings Castle arrived, the defense problems of Jinghu County could be solved easily. Therefore, this risk is worth taking.

However, he underestimated his enemy. His enemy was not Kevin J. Adams who smoothed his edges in the stable life of the new land. His enemy was Alpad Duyaum, the famous general who was best at capturing fighter jets.

Colonel Sanel, who was lucky, faced Palathu's most offensive swordsman. As soon as he showed his flaws, the other party stabbed him without hesitation.

Fortunately - Sanel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - Fortunately, the water troops in the Kings Fortresses were supported and trained by the United Provincial Navy, and their strength was no longer as good as before.

No matter how powerful Alpad was, as long as he could not defeat the fleet of the Kings Castle, he could only stand on the north shore and stare at him.

Colonel Sanel cleared his throat and originally planned to say something to improve morale, but someone was disappointing.

"What is the fish that escapes the net?" Colonel Chloe Torrill asked seriously, "Col. Saner."

Major Sanel narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment, saying, "Thirty to forty barges, what size are... no details."

The smiles of some officers attending the meeting gradually faded, and the atmosphere in the venue became a little solemn again.

"Then, based on the most common flat-bottomed cargo ship in Xinqing, one can transport almost eighty soldiers and their equipment." Colonel Chloe Toril refused to give up and continued to bite the "flying fish" without giving up:

"In other words, we may have to face 5 to 7 brigades of enemies. Considering that the supplies of the baggage also need to be transported, the actual number should be smaller, but it is also a force that cannot be ignored - and there is another premise, that is, the number given in the battle report is correct, and there is no concealment or false reporting."

"Yes." Colonel Sanel nodded slowly.

At present, the troops in Fengshi City can be roughly divided into two factions:

One is the Xinkendi Expeditionary Army, the direct troops of the Kings Fort Council, a total of four infantry brigades and six fully organized cavalry squadrons, and the commander is Colonel Saner; the other is the former Xinkendi Legion headquarters, which is the result of Adams' active expansion of the army. After surrendering, he accepted adaptation and reorganization, a total of ten infantry brigades, which are a solid "legion" scale, and the commander is Colonel Chloe Toril.

The latter is currently stationed in the urban area of ​​Fengshicheng. The former is stationed in the sturdy Maple Leaf Fort, overlooking Fengshicheng from a high place.

Among them, after a round of cleaning, the "Xinkendi Legion" was either imprisoned, killed, or fled, resulting in the faction's direct troops, which were already in a state of serious lack of organization, and even more lack of grassroots officers.

The "League Headquarters" had to temporarily appoint a large number of "honorary officers" - "free men" who were willing to spend money to buy an officer's status.

Therefore, the "Reorganized New Reclamation Legion" is currently in a state of reconstruction and is slowly recovering its combat effectiveness.

By the way, the troops directly under the legion headquarters were originally equipped with cavalry units. However, when they were reorganized, all the war horses accumulated by Adams were confiscated by the dispatched troops, so the current "Reorganized New Reclamation Legion" is a pure infantry unit.

But no matter what, the reorganization of the Xinkendi Legion is still an important part of the armed forces of Fengshi City. If the war breaks out tomorrow, Colonel Saner will have to rely on them to defend Fengshi City.

Therefore, although Colonel Chloe Torrill was displeased by Sanel, Sanel had to show an attitude of equality and respect.

"Col. Chloe." Sanel asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Colonel Chloe held his forehead, stared at the table, and said to himself: "The main force of the Alpad rebels are the veterans of the Fifth and Sixth Legions. However, [Running Horses] and [Kings] suffered heavy losses during their expedition to the Hurd Barbarians the year before. After returning to the country, they fought one after another. They had not been able to rebuild in the true sense, but were only constantly replenishing the new recruits. In other words, except for some veterans as backbones, the rebels' troops were not much more elite than ours."

Sanel remained silent: "So what?"
