Emperor Saushar wanted to send a huge army of hundreds of thousands to a distant battlefield. With so many soldiers, war horses, war elephants, and pterosaurs having to eat and drink along the way, the cost was naturally astonishing. In order to avoid this expedition He died on the way, and Emperor Saushar, who was overjoyed with his success, spared no effort to collect countless wealth and supplies from the scorched earth that had just experienced the war, and recruited all the strong men and warriors he could get from the territory he had just captured. Throughout the history of Falmat, there have been few such huge military operations. As many people as sand, as much gold as sand, and as much food as sand, eventually formed an unprecedentedly huge army. , fully demonstrating the majestic heritage of the empire. Millions of imperial subjects, busy like ants under the whip, patiently pieced together this expedition piece by piece. However, there are still some technical problems that cannot be solved by wealth, violence and power alone. Before the advent of railways, the cost of long-distance land transportation of any bulk goods was very high. If an oxcart or carriage filled with grain travels hundreds of kilometers, the driver and the oxen and horses pulling the cart will eat up all the grain. As for the eagerly awaited frontline troops, they will naturally There is no luck in eating the food in the car. If you are lucky, you can chop the car into pieces and use it as firewood to stew beef. If you are unlucky, you can only drink the northwest wind. According to the discussion and analysis of experts who study ancient military affairs on Earth, during long-distance expeditions before the advent of railways, if they could not get any supplies along the way, and there were no waterways available for use, and the soldiers could only carry food and grass themselves, then the most they could do was The march lasted nine days. Of course, the army could bring ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages, but the oxen and horses pulling the carts also had to eat. No matter how many ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages you bring to haul grain, you can only go out for twelve to fifteen days. Although taking into account the huge differences around the world, this number is not absolutely correct and is only for reference. But it is obvious that it is very difficult and sometimes completely unrealistic to rely on land transportation to conquer an area with difficult supplies. Um? And magic? This If it is some high-level demonic plane that has invented space bags, holding rings, and shrinking objects, and only one magician can easily carry tens of thousands of tons of materials, then the above-mentioned logistics and transportation problems, Nature ceases to exist. But the problem is that although there are some magicians on the Falmat continent, they are only a low-magic plane. The magicians' abilities are limited to rubbing fireballs, shooting lightning, and making some unreliable predictions. They have not tinkered with anything at all. "Space Equipment" is a highly practical magic prop necessary for home travel. Therefore, compared with the expensive and limited transportation capacity of vehicles and horses, water transportation became the best choice for the ancient army to maintain logistics transportation. But the problem is that Arnus Hill is not close to the sea, and there is no big river flowing through it. The nearest seaport is about two hundred kilometers away from Arnus Hill, and there are many roads along the way. It is an inaccessible wilderness, which means that relying on water transportation is not advisable. Under such circumstances, the only way Saushar wanted to keep his army well-fed and drunk before going into battle was to fish in the swamp, prepare food and grass on the spot near the battlefield, and eat wherever they went So, this The path of this large army turned into a huge belt of destruction. Wherever the army passed, it was like locusts passing through. The food of the residents along the way was eaten up, their houses were requisitioned, and they themselves became coolies accompanying the army. Even so, the food stored along any road is far from enough to consume hundreds of thousands of troops. In order to allow the army to at least have food to plunder on the way, Sochar had to divide his army into several groups and advance until it reached the city of Italica adjacent to the battlefield and then regrouped. Then, when Emperor Sochar’s chariot arrived in Italica, although the citizens in the city did not dare to resist at all, they took the initiative to open the city gates fearfully, and sent representatives to offer property to the emperor and kneel down to beg for mercy. However, in order to meet the logistical needs of the army, Sochar still blatantly ordered to "punish the rebels in this city" and issued a massacre against the city of Italica. The bloodthirsty soldiers burst into the completely undefended city with a grin. , blocked every city gate, and then used the method of catching birds to catch all the citizens. Although the frightened citizens are hiding in their homes, minimizing their presence and avoiding getting into trouble. But the murderers still broke in and massacred amidst the screams of the women Every street, alley, and every mansion in the city was bloodbathed. All the men among the citizens were massacred, even the young boys were not spared. Women were plundered and sold into slavery, and the murderers of their relatives became their masters. The trees on the street were quickly filled with all kinds of heads Although it looks very barbaric, bloody, and inhumane, in fact, this isIn wars in modern society, it is actually just a very common scene, and it is also the established practice and law of the ancient army. Until three or four hundred years ago, all countries on earth still did this. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Accompanied by thick smoke and shrill wails And the blood stains flowing on the stone streets, the city of Italica fell into a purgatory of destruction. In the lord's mansion of Italica City, Emperor Soshar, who was tired of his saddle horse, was tasting and playing with a bottle of brandy from another world. With a few exquisite and luxurious gifts, these were originally the money collected by the citizens of Italica to buy his life, but in the end he still failed to buy his own life. In fact, as a tyrant who loves great achievements and has an impatient personality, Emperor Sochar originally planned to go straight to Arnus Hill to settle accounts with outsiders once he had gathered all his troops. He did not want to do more in Italica. Delay But the problem is, such a thing is really impossible! ! As mentioned before, the location of the Arnus Hills on the Falmat continent is a "barren wilderness in the center of the civilized world". Surrounding the hills are inaccessible barren lands. There is also a Romanian mountain range between the palace where Sochar previously stayed and the Arnus Hill. Although this mountain range is not steep, it is extremely wide. It would take an ordinary person half a month to walk from one side of the mountain to the other. There used to be a direct and spacious royal road between the imperial capital and Arnus Hill, but now it was washed away by the huge flood that poured out of the "gate". The few remaining roads that cross the Romanian mountains have their western exits far away from the Arnus Hills. However, the mountain road that runs from the imperial hinterland at the eastern foot of the mountains and extends over the mountains to the city of Italica has now been It is the one that ends closest to Arnus Hill. In other words, if Sochar's army wants to go to the Arnus Hills to fight with the aliens, they must first go to the city of Italica. The other roads are longer and more difficult to walk. Moreover, before arriving at the battlefield, you must set up camp and rest for a period of time, because carrying heavy equipment over the mountains and ridges for so many days is a great drain on the physical strength of the soldiers, horses and war elephants. If you don't take a good rest, It's hard to breathe. (Just like when many Chinese writers need to conceive of another world, they always habitually refer to their own motherland to set it up. They describe the foreign dynasty as "the grassland in the north, the sea in the east, the tropical rain forest in the south, and the desert in the west." In such an environment, American and British writers are also accustomed to writing about other worlds that are very similar to their own hometowns. For example, the continent of Westeros in "A Song of Ice and Fire" is obviously an enlarged version of the island of Great Britain. Similarly, Japan. The Falmat continent set in "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces" is actually a deformed version of Honshu Island. Mount Arnus is probably the location of Mount Yoshino in the southern part of Yamato. The location of the imperial capital is equivalent to Nagoya and Rendel Castle. It is Gifu where Oda Nobunaga conquered the world. The city of Itarica is equivalent to Nara. The Elbe domain can be compared to the Kii domain. As for Kyoto and Lake Biwa, they are squeezed out by the mountains and hills. The empire is essentially similar to the Tokugawa. The shogunate and the directly-administered territories are all in the southeast, the northeast is the Rabbit Grassland, and the southwest is the various "foreign daimyo") In short, the hundreds of thousands of troops who crossed the Romanian Mountains from the east must be in Italica. The city needs to rest for a period of time before it can regain its ability to attack again. As for the grain consumed during this period, it was not feasible to rely on long-distance transportation over the mountains and ridges from behind. In addition to ordering the noble territories in the west to pay part of the tribute, they could only plunder it on the spot from the city of Italica Fortunately, during a battle After the massacre, he finally collected enough food from the city to feed the entire army for seven days. And the citizens' corpses don't need to be wasted, they can be fed directly to those dirty pig-headed cannon fodder as feed. "By the way, General Bodavin, the Southern Route Army commanded by Duran, returned to the country last month, right? Where are they now?" Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Soshar looked at the wine glass spread out on the ground. He asked a general casually with a rough map on the table. "I am reporting to Your Majesty that the 30,000 troops led by the King of Elbe have just passed through the Schulze Forest on the border of Elbe and entered the Tellilia Plains south of the Arnus Hills. However, due to the desolation of the area, there are almost no decent The road is very slow, so the progress is very slow. "The general Bodavin who was questioned by the emperor quickly replied, "According to the last letter sent by His Highness Duran, it will take at least eight days for them to arrive. Arrive near Arnus Hill and make contact with the armies of the aliens. " " Very good, let Duran's Elbe army fight with the aliens first to see what the humans in the alien world are like. How capable you are!" Emperor Soshar raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "As for us??, let's stand still for the time being and let the warriors relax in Italica. I know they have been walking on the mountain road for half a month and it is already very hard! " "Yes, thank you for your majesty's tolerance and kindness! "Including Bo Dawen, all the generals present hurriedly bowed and thanked. "It's nothing, our journey is still very long, and we can't let the soldiers be exhausted at the beginning" Soshar The emperor waved his hand reservedly, "This time, I am determined to fight until the end of the earth! ” ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※ In Soshar’s view, this time In addition to punishing the aliens entrenched on the Arnus hills during the mighty Western Expedition, he also had a more grand and grand blueprint, which was to use his troops to sweep all the countries in the western part of the Falmat continent that nominally surrendered to the The Empire, in fact, is a rebellious and basically independent separatist force. It re-establishes the Empire's supreme authority on the continent and lets everyone on the entire continent understand that the Empire's hegemony has not been weakened by the civil war, and the Empire's territory is still in harmony with the sky. Then, all the land where the sun touches will surrender to the empire! And Soshar also believes that he will be able to achieve the above goal. After all, he now has such a mighty and huge army under his command, countless people. Soldiers and horses filled the roads and fields all the way, stretching to the distant horizon. They could crush everything in their path just by stepping on them. As long as the world's largest military machine was driven at full speed, there would be nothing on the Falmat continent. There is no opponent who can fight against them. As the first stop on the journey, in the eyes of the arrogant Emperor Soshar, the unscrupulous outsiders on the Arnus Hill are just the first piece of a rich meal. Desserts, and the first chicken chick that was killed to establish power However, judging from the current harvest, it seems that the aliens coming from the other side of the "door" do have a lot of good things worth coveting. It's not That kind of pauper who lacks oil and water As Saushar thought this, he raised the wine glass on the table and took another sip of the brandy that the merchants in Italica bought from the outsiders. He had to admit, This novel spirit really suited Sochal's taste, and he became addicted to it. Unfortunately, there were not many brandies seized from the city, only a dozen bottles in total, a few days at most. It's time to drink up But it doesn't matter. After this battle is over, you can ask for wine from the outsiders on the Arnus Hill. No matter how much you ask, they will have to give you. Of course, the outsiders will give you. Other good things you own are also worth searching for, such as those luscious candies that are as crystal clear as gems, colorful silks that are so beautiful and smooth that they are indescribably beautiful, and mirrors, perfumes and jewelry that women like. Looking from the city of Italica What he found was a large box full of extremely bright and gorgeous otherworldly jewelry, and Soshar felt that his original treasure trove was eclipsed by it (although in fact they were all worthless zircons, crystal glasses and jewelry). Aluminum alloy jewelry, but the indigenous people in the fantasy world would not recognize it. If only in terms of visual effects, the zircon hairpins worth tens of dollars apiece in modern society may be more gorgeous than the red gold hairpins in ancient society.) It can be seen that these guys from the other world are really quite wealthy. After defeating them, they have to blackmail them hard! While Soshar was thinking about what he should do to the other world after the victory in the Arnus Hill. The man asked for something as compensation and tribute, and at the same time he thought of a rumor he had just found out: It is said that some hateful headhunting rabbits also took advantage of the chaotic period of the empire's civil war to somehow find their way to Mount Arnus. Hooked up with people from other worlds Well, the army this time is so strong and strong, we must calculate the old and new grudges together. While conquering people from other worlds, we must also let those female rabbits who are unwilling to be obedient female slaves, Completely surrendered to his crotch However, just when Emperor Soshar was so satisfied and fanciful, he never thought that he would never have the chance to see Arnus Hill again because, hundreds of Some guys kilometers away, after verifying his whereabouts, directly sentenced him to death: "has it been confirmed that Sochar's chariot has entered the city of Italica? Very good, let the floating fleet carry the entire urban management team out! ” ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※ ps: I watched South Korea’s reaction to the nuclear disaster I was deeply touched by the movie "Pandora", but the ending is still too bright. It is seriously illogical that politicians can be moved under such irresponsible circumstances, so I conceived a short dark story, maybe after the book is completed. Write it out???A certain tropical island country built a nuclear power plant in order to develop its economy. Because it lacked money and technology, it could only let foreign companies build and operate it. As a result, in order to keep costs down, foreigners hired amateur temporary workers to make do, deceived everyone, engaged in all kinds of corruption and false reports. In the end, an accident occurred after a typhoon, and they shirk responsibility from each other. The government, bent on controlling public opinion and media, left the rescue mission to foreign companies. Foreign companies did not want to be cheated and sat back and did nothing, just paying lip service. In the end, amidst the noise, the nuclear disaster continued to escalate, and the whole country became a radiation zone. Government officials had already fled. Most of the people listened to the government's lies and waited to die at home. Only a few people escaped. After coordination, the United Nations decided to let Russia throw away one A hydrogen bomb eliminates radiation. Then, as soon as the few surviving refugees landed, they received a hydrogen bomb bill from Russia. Since the island country officials swallowed up overseas assets and fled, the cost of the hydrogen bomb had to be spread on each refugee, and each person owed a debt of 10,000. U.S. dollars, those who can’t afford the money will be sent directly to Siberia for labor camps; Didn't finish reading?
