Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 573

This sudden southward invasion by a foreign nation from the north has greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

After all, the empire also has spies to observe the situation on the northern grasslands.

Although the foreign nations on the grasslands coveted the empire’s land, wealth, population, and some other materials, they would launch a southern invasion against the empire for as long as several decades to plunder the empire’s wealth.

The empire’s senior leaders knew this too well, but at this time the situation on the grassland was not much different from that in the empire. The current king of the grassland, Balk, the great sweat of a different nation in the north, was only three years ago. In the cannibalism with many of his brothers, he came to the fore and succeeded to the throne.

And this was helped by his other brother, King Zuo Xian Shaladin, who is now on the grassland.

This situation also made everyone think that even if Balke wants to launch another southern invasion of the empire, he will have to wait until he completely unifies the grassland and integrates all the large and small forces on the grassland before there will be such a southern invasion. thing.

But now, the guy Barker, he didn’t know what method he used to actually integrate the large and small forces on the grassland and launch the southern invasion of the empire.

This damned fellow, how could he let the entire grassland surrender so quickly, how dare he launch a southern invasion, wouldn’t he be afraid of the consequences of the failure of the southern invasion! This was the first reaction of the top empires after they got a large-scale southward invasion by a foreign nation in the north.

However, these nobles, who have been in the imperial capital for a long time, are mostly straw bags, obviously don’t know Balk.

The reason why Bark can stand out from his many brothers is also the reason why he and his brother Shaladin teamed up to defeat all competitors.

Although Bark was the strongest at the beginning, his other brothers did not have his courage, able to abandon a small part of the rights and interests for his position as the king of the steppe and to promise various benefits to his younger brother Saladin. In order to get his support, and at the beginning, he dared to completely let Saladin collect some of his other brothers’ armies, so in essence, he Balk is not only courageous, he is also a full-fledged gambler. Since he was not completely sure, then he put all his future under this southern invasion, which he had planned long ago.

However, except for a few people in the empire, no one could see it, and at this time, the body of Emperor Anthony, the Emperor, was deteriorating after the death of His Royal Highness Empress Vivian.

At this time, the imperial capital has almost entered the most critical and fierce time of the power struggle. Who is willing to send the bargaining chips in his hands to support the so-called Northern Army at this time.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

This group of guys at the top of the empire thought about it, the uncivilized barbarians of the other nations in the north were just a group of clown robbers. Although they launched a war against the empire, they fled back to themselves without looting a batch of supplies. Grassland, so I don’t care much.

What’s more, if you send the army or private army you have in your hand, then the chips and strength that you put away will also be yours. After the war, you can get a reputation for “saving the country” at most, and you will only get some irrelevant. An important reward, but the bargaining chip in his hand is gone, so that others will call him a fool.

For all of this, the nature of this time the northern aliens’ invasion of the South can be clearly seen, of course, including the Deputy Secretary of State Ornest, and at this time, he has secretly calculated in his heart whether he can recover from this incident. Get some benefits.

Even for the intriguing thoughts of the empire’s high-levels, Master Ornest was very disdainful in his heart, because he discovered that the timing of Yuzan’s journey to the north at this time was actually very coincidental, if Yuzan could do something in it…

Of course, if he didn’t know that Yuzan wouldn’t have any people available, he would even suspect that this time Yuzan had already gotten the north, so he deliberately went to the north for a show to buy people’s hearts.

North of the empire, Lelang City, the capital of the north.

At this time, it was a week after Yuzan entered the Arctic Ice Sheet.

Although Yuzan’s willfulness caused General Stockton, the commander of the Northern Legion, a headache, but the southern invasion of foreign nations from the north also distracted General Stockton.

Standing on the top of the towering city, the bloodshot eyes of General Stockton, the commander of the Northern Legion, looked sadly toward the camp of a foreign nation in the far north.

As early as when the scouts at the Northern Legion’s outpost noticed the abnormal movement in the north and sent back information, they lost contact with Lelang City.

After discovering this situation, General Stockton immediately called an emergency military meeting and ordered several groups of scout teams to be sent to the outpost to detect intelligence.

Until the next day, finally, another team of scouts found the body of the missing team at the northern outpost.

On this day, the forty-six teams of scouts on the patrol only returned three teams. The other 43 teams and 430 scout cavalry, none of them could return!

The problem is that the three teams who came back alive did not encounter any enemy situation. In other words, they lost 430 outstanding cavalry, but the entire Imperial Army in the northern line of defense did not get a valuable enemy. Any news and traces!

The news also made Stockton, the commander of the Northern Army, furious, but he was somewhat helpless.

Although he didn’t want to believe this fact, this time the alien races in the north seemed to be a little different from 20 years ago. Although the alien races 20 years ago were also powerful cavalry, they would never be so sharp. This also left a shadow in General Stockton’s heart.

Immediately afterwards, General Stockton, who had calmed down a bit, issued a military order, directly pulling out two cavalry battalions, more than four thousand cavalry, divided into four roads, along the north of Lelang city, along the long line of more than two hundred kilometers , Conducted a zipper search.

Due to lack of intelligence, since the scout team that can eat the small stocks of the opponent can eat so many scout teams one by one, and none of them can be released back, General Stockton also began to be cautious. He determined that the opponent could eat. If you drop the small scout team, then the opponent must have a lot of troops, and the combat power will be strong. Therefore, he ordered the four-way cavalry not to be divided into soldiers, so as not to be broken by each other.
