As far as the eye could see, a white line more than ten miles wide surged forward like a galloping horse. Everything along the way, whether it was dams or cities, were swallowed up by the flood. The raging river became wider and wider,
By the time he arrived at Rococo City, the flood was already boundless.
Suganev closed his eyes in pain.
The Elbe River flows from south to north, but the east bank is slightly higher than the west bank. But even so, the water depth under Rococo City, which is more than ten miles away from the Elbe River, is at least one foot. You can imagine how turbulent this artificial flood is.
.
Rococo City was originally built on a plain with soft soil. When the raging river came, just the first huge wave destroyed a large part of the city wall directly to the south. Fortunately, the soldiers in the city responded quickly and
Before the flood raged, he desperately blocked the gap, which prevented the whole city from being destroyed. However, Suganev knew very well that this would not be able to stop it for long. The foundation of the Rococo city wall was not strong. As long as it was soaked by the flood for a day, it would
The walls will surely collapse.
Even earlier than Suganev expected, just two hours later, there was a loud noise near the south city, and a section of the city wall collapsed completely. The huge water pressure continued to tear apart the collapsed city wall.
Finally, the southern city wall came down section by section. The raging floods roared into the Rococo City and raged wildly in the Rococo City. Nothing could resist their steps. The water level in the entire Rococo City immediately rose.
It has reached the same level as outside the city.
In the face of such a natural disaster, both ordinary people and distinguished nobles were trembling in the violent floods. The torrent raging in the city almost swept away everything of the people, and hundreds of thousands of people were caught in the cold early winter wind.
Shivering in the middle.
When things got to this point, what else could Suganev have to say? When the city wall began to collapse, he was standing on the tower in the south city, but Maang Lado and others dragged him and fled into the city, and then escaped.
No one thought that Hetao would adopt such cruel methods. The nearly 200,000 troops in the city had no chance to fight with each other, so more than half were swept into the raging river, and the rest stood still
On the crumbling roof, I stared blankly at the rolling torrent below.
In such weather, let alone fighting against the enemy, it is a kind of luck to survive. Although the Obsburg Empire is relatively warm compared to the Chinese continent at the same latitude, it is now approaching the freezing period, and the biting floods are wrapped around it.
Facing the cold wind, even Suganev, who was wearing a warm fur coat, felt a little chilly.
He didn't know how long this situation would last, but he knew that if this situation was allowed to continue, not many people would be able to survive in this kind of weather for too long, whether they were ordinary people or military soldiers. All of them lacked the necessary preparations.
Everything has been swallowed up by the flood. There is no food, no means of heating, no clothing, nothing. Everything has fallen into the water, and it has to endure the almost freezing weather. Who can carry it for how long in this situation?
However, Suganev was more worried about Longen. The terrain there was low and flat, and it was where the main stream of the Elbe River flowed. Rococo was like this. He really couldn't imagine the situation in Longen.
The Elbe River, the largest river in the Western Continent, turned a small bend in Longen City. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Elbe River was a golden waterway in the Western Continent. Affected by the gentle westerly wind, the Elbe River was frozen during the ice period.
It lasts no longer than January. The water volume is abundant and does not change much from year to year. But no one expected that this river, which is highly praised in the Western Continent, would bring disaster to the entire Obsburg Empire today.
The ground level of Ronn City is almost the same as the height of the Elbe River. In addition, it is located at the corner of the river. Once a flood occurs, the raging river water will directly hit the entire city. The embankments built by the Obsburg Empire at a huge expense can block it.
Flood peaks occur naturally, but to this kind of man-made disaster, dams are as fragile as paper.
Almost as soon as the flood arrived, the city of Longen was completely swallowed up by the raging flood. The west bank of the Elbe River was originally lower than the east bank, and the terrain was flatter, so the flood became more violent.
The entire city of Longen was ruined. This richest and most beautiful city, the most powerful empire in the Western Continent, was completely destroyed by the flood at the first opportunity. In the face of natural disasters, the solid city was still so small.
The more than 600,000 troops of the Obsburg Empire were finished. They had no preparation at all. They were even wearing the heavy armor inherent in the Western Continent. Their fate can be imagined. A small number of soldiers who were on rotation were lucky enough not to wear armor.
However, their situation was not that ideal. The river was freezing and freezing. Unless they were lucky enough to encounter a wooden plank or a tall tree, their only fate would be to freeze to death.
The 20,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Gaul, together with the leader Prince Famke, were also dead. The Kingdom of Gaul, which always wanted to pick up peaches from the ground, had not yet started a war with the Hetao, and all the 20,000 troops who came to gild the army died.
The 70,000 soldiers of the Latin Kingdom and the Western Saints were also wiped out. It is really unfair to say that. The fighting strength of the Western Saints' protective soldiers is not inferior to the elite heavy cavalry of Obsburg. And because
With their devout beliefs and sophisticated equipment, their impact power is even greater than that of heavy cavalry. But no matter how elite the army is, they are powerless in the face of natural disasters.
The 30,000 soldiers of the Plantagenet Dynasty were also dead. Haotian wondered why they came all the way here. It is estimated that the drowned Plantagenet soldiers also didn't know. They came all the way here.
Is it just to feed the fish and shrimp?
The nearly 200,000 troops of hundreds of small principalities and local lords in the Western Continent were also destroyed. Their deaths were even more pointless. They originally just wanted to please the Obsburg Empire, so they came here specifically to see the excitement. Little did they know that the war had not started yet.
The entire army has been wiped out, and it has provoked such a powerful opponent as Hetao.
Zhang Yuewan now finally understood why Haotian was so confident, and also understood what Jiang Chenzhou and others were escorting those strong men to do in the first place.
It took half a month for the Hetao to store water. The Elbe River was originally the largest river in the Western Continent. In half a month, the amount of water accumulated was enough to completely submerge Longen and the country downstream.
Moreover, Haotian was afraid that it would not be powerful enough, so he dug several channels in all the lakes and several rivers upstream. The result was that the power was so powerful that it completely exceeded Haotian's imagination.
"Husband, when did you start preparing?" Zhang Yuewan asked with a breath of air.
"Is this still important?" Haotian asked.
Zhang Yuewan snorted: "But in this case, all the land below Long'en will be reduced to a water country. We will not be able to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."
Haotian chuckled: "Yue Wan, it seems you still don't understand. Why do you think the Dragon Legion has been entrenched at sea? During this period, they robbed passing ships, and with the small boats they carried, they completely
Being able to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Obsburg from the Elbe River and other rivers. The armies of Obsburg and those small principalities all fed fish and shrimps in the city of Long, and no one could stop the attack of the dragon army."
After a pause, Luo Xiang interjected: "Hasn't Mistress noticed? The ground has actually been frozen for a long time, but the river has been flowing, so it has not frozen. It only took three or five days, and these things are still running fast.
The flood water will condense into ice after leaving the main river channel."
With a chuckle, Luo Xiang said to Haotian: "My lord, it's time to order the army to cross the river immediately and sweep across the southeastern territory of Obsburg."
Haotian also had a smile on his face: "Sir, that's the arrangement. It's just a pity that Longen has been completely destroyed by the flood. I don't know if the 400,000 taels of gold we originally gave to Obsburg has been washed away."
Luo Xiang smiled, but he didn't expect that Haotian was still thinking about this at this time. He then said with a smile: "My lord, hasn't the Kingdom of Constantine always wanted to do its part? Together with the Three Kingdoms of Burgundy, after the flood,
, just let them send troops into the Longen area to search slowly. The gold must be hidden in the secret room of the palace, and it cannot be washed away so easily."
"I'm afraid they'll fish in troubled waters."
Luo Xiang smiled sinisterly: "Do they have the courage?"
After the flood, while Obsburg had not yet recovered, six regiments of Hetao Blood Kill, Honor, Snow Lion, Huncheng, Longxiang, and Fengwu with more than 300,000 troops suddenly built a pontoon bridge and forcibly crossed the Elbe River.
Before the patrolling soldiers of the Obsburg Empire on the opposite side could recover, the defense line was easily broken through by the Hetao army. The main force of Obsburg had been almost wiped out in Longen and Rococo, and all the soldiers stationed along the Elbe River were
They are all temporarily recruited reserve troops, and the total strength is less than 150,000. Under the strong force of Hetao, the only thing they can do is to continuously retreat.
In order to fight the decisive battle with the Hetao, Nicholas II had already drained all the troops of the entire country. In order to please the Obsburg Empire, the surrounding small principalities also sent their own elite armies to help. No one expected that they actually
The entire army was wiped out by the flood of the Elbe River. Now these small countries are empty of troops and are no match for the Hetao army. Especially after Dugu's White Tiger Army also followed into the west bank of the Elbe River, these small countries were scared to death. And Orb
The remaining troops of the Obsburg Empire, led by Prince Meishironi, all gathered in Cenko, southwest of Obsburg, to resist stubbornly.
"I really don't know why Commander-in-Chief is so active in joining in the fun. With Commander-in-Chief here, an army of 350,000 is enough to crush Obsburg." Haotian said helplessly.
Xin Jiao smiled and said: "Dushuai is not going to fight, he is going to scrape the land."
Originally, according to Haotian's wishes, Dugu's White Tiger Army and Huben Army should be stationed in front of the Koga Forest to prevent the counterattack of the Obsburg army that narrowly escaped from the Elbe River flood. After all, Rococo and Suganev
He personally led an elite army of more than 100,000 people. The terrain of Rococo is higher than that of Long En, and it is not the main attack direction of Hongfeng. Some soldiers and horses may escape. After all, Suganev is the number one general in the Western Continent, and Haotian does not dare to
main idea.
However, Dugu firmly opposed it. He insisted that there were tigers, green dragons and falcons here, and a few legions such as Fushou would be enough. He also said that it was not easy to raise food and grass here, and it would be more convenient for him to cross the Elbe River.
Collect by yourself.
Haotian was not prepared to agree at that time. However, Uncle Dugu's thick-skinned and filthy character could not be described in words. Since the morning, Uncle Dugu had been staying on the Qingyun, and he would carry Haotian when he ate.
A big shot who was close to the pot sat aside. Without saying anything, he turned all the delicious dishes on the table onto his own plate as soon as they were served. You know, these side dishes were cooked by Xin Jiao himself.
, Haotian was worried about Xin Jiao's health, so he only cooked two or three side dishes for each meal. As soon as Uncle Dugu turned over the plates, Haotian suddenly found that except for the small plate of peanuts in front of him, he had nowhere to put his chopsticks.
While eating, Dugu kept saying nonsense words like "Yummy, delicious, continue tonight." Haotian became furious and kicked him away, telling him to roll as far as he could.
Uncle Dugu was not angry and immediately got out. But he immediately came back. Under Haotian's hateful eyes, Dugu picked up his rice bowl and said with a smile: "Such a good meal cannot be wasted. Since the master is not blessed,
The handsome guy had no choice but to give up and leave happily, making Haotian so angry that he wanted to twitch and skin him.
Even Xin Ke said with emotion: "Let him go and harm those small principalities in the Western Continent. Our temple here is too small and cannot afford to support such a great god."
Sure enough, Dugu crossed the Elbe River and paid no attention to the war in Obsburg. Anyway, there was a bloodbath in charge, and Dugu didn't bother to participate. Most of the small principalities and local lords in the Western Continent were in a few big countries.
The border area was mainly to act as a buffer. Dugu directly led the White Tiger Legion to visit one by one in person. Constantine followed the Hetao early in the morning, so he naturally did not have such worries. The Latin Kingdom's territory is basically in the southern part of the Naples Mountains.
, only some of the affiliated principalities are located north of Naples. Naturally, Dugu was very rude. He went all the way, holding in his hand the declaration of war written by hundreds of principalities in the Western Continent following the Obsburg Empire, and crossed each one with a cross.
"The Principality of Wales? Oh, it's on the list. Sir, I know you don't understand the language, so don't I explain it to you slowly? We said at the beginning that we did not want anyone or any force to get involved with us and the Obsburg Empire
war. You see, we didn’t massacre your civilians, nor plunder your food, nor kill your Grand Duke’s mother, but you just didn’t listen to the warning and actually sent a large army to fight us.”
"A big army? Of course it is a big army. The total strength of your principality is only seven thousand, but you actually sent two thousand soldiers. Isn't this a big army? Look, the total strength of the Kingdom of Gaul is as high as 250,000, and they only sent out two thousand soldiers."
We have 20,000 soldiers, and the ratio is not as high as yours. We all believe that you are openly provoking us and causing a lot of trouble to our war. Hey, uncle, didn’t I tell you earlier that we will wait until Obus is dealt with?
After the fort, it's your turn."
"However, we in China have always used virtue to conquer people and keep clear distinctions between grudges and grudges. Although you are openly against us, our Majesty is kind-hearted and cannot bear to kill too many people. Damn it, what is your expression? Come here! Forget it, look.
For the sake of your kowtow, I will let you go. Our China is a country of etiquette, and I have always convinced people with virtue, so forget it this time. Our Majesty said that our side suffered heavy losses in this battle, and our soldiers
We are very angry in our hearts. We in China have a saying that when the emperor is angry, blood flows down the river. Don’t you understand? Then let me explain it to you. For example, it is because our majesty is angry that the people on the Elbe River are
They are all floating corpses, isn’t this vivid enough?”
"Oh, this bastard is quite sensible. We have already calculated it. If you send one soldier, you will compensate us ten taels of gold. Don't know how much ten taels is? Don't worry, we will help you calculate clearly. One tael of gold is equivalent
Twenty gold coins for you means that each person who sends an army must pay two hundred gold coins. If you send two thousand soldiers, it is only four hundred thousand gold coins. If you don’t have so much money, it doesn’t matter. For example, what are your rare treasures, such as pearls and emeralds?
Ah, we can discount all of these. Well, those famous paintings and exquisite cultural relics are also fine, and we will give a fair price estimate."
The economic development of the countries in the Western Continent is relatively backward. A family of four only needs about one hundred gold coins a year, which is equivalent to five taels of gold, and they can live a very prosperous life. The total population of Wales is about 80,000.
400,000 gold coins, equivalent to their total financial revenue for at least two years. However, facing the Loop army who were smiling but sharpening their knives, the Principality of Wales had to choose to surrender.
With just one White Tiger Legion, their number exceeds the total population of Wales. The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all. If there is a real fight, Hetao's soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles will only need two hours to defeat the entire population of Wales.
The soldiers of the country were wiped out. No one dared to use common sense to infer this group of lunatics in Hetao. They killed every one of the nearly 30 million people in Sashan in one go. Obsburg was powerful enough, and a flood
There are at least 15 million people below Long, and no more than 20% can survive. And while on duty here, they have massacred at least 4 million people in the southeast of Obsburg. Faced with such people who are keen on killing
Executioner, what else can they say?
At this time, the countries in the Western Continent truly realized that Rouran was really kind. This grassland nation originated from the Chinese continent and later continued to migrate and expand to the Western Continent. Although before that, they thought it was the most terrifying people in the world.
A demon, but now it seems that compared with Hetao, Rouran is completely the difference between a newborn baby and a powerful man.
