Chapter 295: Expedition in August

The rains in July swelled one after another, soaking the lush fields and nourishing the first summer flowers. On the south bank of the Leman River, the raindrops in the lake area are cheerful bamboo flutes, which are connected end to end, like a long line drawn by an ink pen, covering the entire sky. On the north bank of the Leman River, the precipitation in the mountain city was a heavy drum of war.

In the sparse wind and rain, a group of messengers left Ottopan Mountain City and went to all directions. Soon, Otomi warriors and militias were mobilized everywhere. Thousands of warriors formed battalions, gathered into legions, and successively assembled to the mountain city; a larger number of militiamen took up spears and carried food to maintain the logistics of the army.

Despite the wind and rain, the ancestral land of the mountain city is still as majestic as a sacred mountain. The wolf flag of the kingdom and the bird flag of the mountain city were flying at the top of the city, and the camp below the city was full of boiling voices. Shirott stood on the watchtower, overlooking the tens of thousands of legions, and his pride was stirring in his chest.

Mobilization began in mid-July, and by early August, all battalions had been mobilized. The Otomi people assembled 16,000 warriors and 24,000 militiamen, for a total of 40,000 people. The first spear regiment of the river mouth fortress arrived at the end of July, and the two regiments of the kingdom's warriors were 14,000.

The full-scale mobilization of the Otomi people is so powerful that it is impossible to hide it. The Guaquilis scouts came and went in a hurry, reporting the latest military situation time and time again. In the face of the huge coalition army that was constantly assembling, the large tribes of the dog breed were all panicked and sent messengers south to seek peace with the coalition forces.

In the palace of Ottopan Mountain City, Shulot summoned several messengers of the great canine tribe. When the king heard their similar conditions, "Submit in name, but keep land and property, maintain tribal autonomy..." and completely lost interest. These conditions were not much different from what he expected. The rebellious canines are real wild dogs, and they will not surrender like domesticated domestic dogs without going through a real battle and breaking the bones of their backs.

Soon, legions from various states arrived one after another. The 50,000-strong army covered the wilderness of the mountain city, and the flying birds were also startled. This northern expedition has to travel at least 400 miles. Along the way are barren plateaus and desolate villages. With the grain reserves of the Otomi people, it is naturally impossible to go north.

In fact, the Guaquilis in the north are distributed according to tribes and are scattered everywhere. They moved quickly, and if they avoided fighting, the heavy army would not be able to capture the main moving tribe.

Faced with the current situation of lack of supplies and scattered enemies along the way, Shirott and Giova discussed for a long time, and finally settled on a strategy for the northern expedition. The entire coalition army will be divided into three elite lines, which are approximately connected in a line, like a plough, ploughing northward.

The left army is 5,000 warriors and 3,000 militiamen from Guamare State, with the Great Chief Charki as the left commander; the right army is 8,000 warriors from Ottopan, and is commanded by Giova on the right; The vanguard of the army consisted of three thousand warriors from Palms, plus two thousand barbarian mercenaries from the Janissary Corps, one thousand temple crossbowmen, and two thousand light archers from the First Pike Corps, with the black wolf Toltec as the vanguard. commander. The left, right, and middle pioneers, all three are the Hikipili Corps, which are full of 8,000 people. Each of them was separated by fifty miles, traveling lightly and swiftly, cooperating with each other.

Next, the middle army in the middle is where Shulot's king flag is. Three thousand armored guards, carrying longbows and crossbows, were behind the three armies. As long as any road encounters heavy troops, the armored army will be dispatched and a thunderous blow will be sent.

About 27,000 troops of the three-way army set out on the expedition. At least 400 miles north, this is the limit that the food road can support. The remaining 20,000 Otomi militiamen are in charge of the old priest Oort and are used to maintain the long logistics line. The Otomi people are short of food, and a large amount of food has to be transported north from the estuary fortress. And the crucial food security, the king was handed over to the monkey Kuluka.

"Monkey, you lead an army of 6,000 spears and are stationed near the mountain city. If the dogs are harassed and the food supply is threatened, you will drive them away. When the army goes north, you must ensure the stability of the food supply."

Above the city head, Shulot looked serious and gave a solemn order.

"His Royal Highness, I will use my deadly force to ensure the army's food supply!"

The monkey's smart eyes showed determination. He fell to his knees and bowed deeply.

"Okay! The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. This time the northern expedition is far away, and the dogs may retreat to the north, and I don't know how long it will take. I am worried that the food and grass reserves in Hekou County are not enough, and have already asked the alliance for help. King Avet wrote back and promised, From the upper reaches of the Leman River, a batch of grain and grass will be delivered every month to the wooden castle on the north bank, but the kingdom needs to exchange for the equivalent materials."

"Monkey, I will give you a batch of 'jewels', cotton cloth and copper ware. You will deliver it to the grain transport officer according to the amount of grain delivered by the alliance. Well, you can give some more gems as appropriate to help you up and down. God Qisuo will soon deliver a thousand pairs of cloth armor. You can equip 500 of them in the army. As for the remaining 500, I have promised to hand it over to the king in exchange for the title of Prince Giova. You must hand over these bronze armors to the special envoy of the Alliance!"

"Follow your will, Your Highness!"

The monkey fell to the ground again. Sherlot smiled, stepped forward, and personally helped Kuluka up. Then, the king lowered his voice and warned in the ear of the other party.

"Monkey, in order to prevent accidents, the Gyeonggi Legion has already headed north, and is now stationed by Lake Quetzeo. In case the mountain city changes, the Priest of Ort dies, or the northern expedition fails, the Otomi people and the canines conspire... .You immediately contact Anatri's navy, transport the Gyeonggi Corps to the north bank of the Leman River, cooperate with the inside and outside, and directly seize the mountain city!"

"Ah, Your Highness? Capture the mountain city?!"

Hearing this, the monkey's pupils contracted, his hands clenched silently,

"In all things, you must consider the worst outcome, think about defeat first, and then seek victory. Monkey, you don't have to worry, these situations should not happen, just set a strategy in advance, just in case."

Shirot smiled lightly and patted Kuluka on the shoulder. He looked at the monkey's smart eyes and finally said.

"Monkey, you have the style of a general, and you can always make the most appropriate response in a crisis. You are also one of the people I trust the most. I'll leave my way to you!"

"Your Highness, I am willing to die for you!"

Kuluka looked excited. He knelt down on his knees again and bowed to the ground.

This time, Shilot did not help. He turned around, faced the tens of thousands of troops under the city, raised the divine scepter in his hand, and pointed to the wasteland in the north. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"In the name of the Lord God! Destroy the dogs and take back the old land! Wang Ling, the whole army strikes!"

"Roar!"

As the king waved his staff, cheers from the sky resounded outside the city! Whether it is Mexica or Otomi, whether it is samurai or militia, tens of thousands of warriors are screaming at the same time!

The shouting started a little messy, like the messy rain in summer. But in the frenzied shouts of the Otomi people, the boiling sound soon condensed into a forbidding title, which turned into rolling thunder in the sky.

"Death!.... Warchief!...Reaper Warchief!..."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Intense drums of war resounded in the four fields! In the sparse wind and rain, tens of thousands of elite warriors turned to go north, making the wet earth tremble with their footsteps. Nearly 30,000 Northern Expedition Corps set off immediately, like a sweeping torrent, and like a gust of wind in the north. Set off in August, as fast as the wind. The Three Roads and Four Divisions marched forward like sharp arrows, destroying all the canine tribes along the way!
