Chapter 859 Deadlock
"call--"
The breeze was blowing, bringing up the yellow sand in the sky!
At this time, outside Albana, the capital of Alabasta, about 500,000 people wearing headscarves, robes, dark skin and fierce faces, galloped towards Albana with billowing smoke!
That's right!
These are the rebels!
Due to the rush of the uprising, the number of the rebel army at this time was almost one-third less than the uprising in the original book a few months later!
But because of the arms sent by Arthur, in terms of combat power, they are a few points higher than those in the original book!
And they are here because of Kosha's orders!
After Kosha realized that he was in a conspiracy before, he immediately called all the rebels.
Then, after a brief discussion with a series of high-level rebels such as Kyle and Farafora, they settled on tactics and decided to go straight to Huanglong!
In the past few years, due to rumors, Cobra's popularity in Alabasta has dropped to near freezing point.
If it wasn't for what Cobra has done in the past few decades, if it is still remembered in the minds of some old Alabastas, there is no doubt that Cobra must have become an existence that everyone in Alabasta shouts and beats!
And because of this, Kobra's control over other cities in Alabasta has declined to varying degrees in recent years!
Under such circumstances, Kosha and the top leaders of the rebel army felt that as long as Albana was captured, then Kobra could completely lose control of Alabasta!
At that time, even if Cobra is lucky enough to escape from Albana and wants to reorganize the army, it will not be easy to counterattack the rebel army!
Furthermore, although they revolted in a hurry, Alabasta has just received the news.
Therefore, this time is undoubtedly the best time to attack Albana. If you delay for a while, wait for Alabasta, and wait for Cobra to fully react, then Alba is likely to be armed to the teeth!
At that time, it would not be easy to attack Alba again!
Taking all into consideration, they decided to go straight to Huanglong, first break Albana, and then slowly conquer other parts of Alabasta!
"Come on, come on! You can kill Kobra soon!" Kosha ran, forgetting the slightly mottled city wall not far away, and her eyes were full of eagerness!
"Leader, it's almost here, do you want to stop and take a rest? The brothers have been running all the way, and they are all exhausted. If they attack the city at this time, the effect may be unsatisfactory!" At this time, Kebi on the side suggested. .
In order to take advantage of Alabasta's failure to react, they attacked Albana, and they marched in a hurry along the way, so everyone spent a lot of physical strength!
If you have to attack the city at this time, there will definitely be a large number of casualties, and the results may not be good!
"Okay, stop and rest for a while!" Kosha turned to look at the people around, then nodded and said solemnly.
Although he was eager to kill Cobra and save Alabasta, he didn't want the brothers around him to suffer too many casualties, so he listened to Kebby's advice!
soon!
The people of the rebel army slowly stopped the rapid march, stationed in place and rested!
However, they are not too relaxed!
Because they were afraid that Alabasta would attack them when they were tired, the rebel army not only sent out a lot of reconnaissance soldiers, but also let others take turns to rest, some of them on alert and some on rest!
——
the other side!
While the rebel army was resting, a middle-aged man in Alba, surrounded by a group of people, came to the city wall!
After he carefully looked at the rebel army that was resting not far away with the binoculars in his hand, he showed a look of grief!
That's right!
He is Cobra!
And the reason why he showed grief was partly because in the past few decades, he had made great efforts to take care of Alabasta, but he got such an end!
Part of the reason is because his people didn't believe him, but instead believed in rumors, which made him a little hard to accept!
"Maybe. I'm really unfit to be a king!" Cobra couldn't help but think of such a thought!
Immediately, another figure appeared in his mind!
His cheap brother, Arthur!
Compared with St. Martin, which Arthur ruled when we first met, Alabasta was not known how many times better than St. Martin, except for the strong, whether it was from the military, from the population, as the super of the great waterway. A big country, Alabasta can be said to crush Saint Martin!
But now?
In less than twenty years, the positions of the two sides have undergone a shocking reversal!
Alabasta is still the original Alabasta, but St. Martin is no longer the original St. Martin!
Now St. Martin has grown into a behemoth that rules the entire West Sea, has a population of hundreds of millions, and even the world government is unwilling to have a conflict with it!
This huge change, even if he is a naturally optimistic person, it is inevitable that he will give birth to a hint of depression!
Coupled with the current rebellion, a somewhat absurd thought appeared in his mind - it would be nice if Arthur could rule Alabasta!
Thinking about it, he felt that he was a little too absurd.
Just kidding, let the good West Sea not rule, how could Arthur come to rule Alabasta?
After shaking his head and throwing this absurd idea out of his head, Cobra returned to reality!
The most important and most important question for him in front of him is how to deal with these rebels in front of him?
To be honest, although Cobra is kind, he is not the kind of special virgin who can't bear to kill people when he sees them. As long as he is an enemy, he will still attack.
But the problem is, these people in front of him are not enemies in his eyes!
but his people!
Facing the people, the kindness in his heart made him very embarrassed!
It wasn't long after he got the news, and he didn't have time to convene a standing army that was far away, but Albana was the capital after all, and there were a lot of guards, so he also gathered a full 100,000 soldiers in a hurry!
It also includes several elite troops from Alabasta!
Taking these people out alone, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are undoubtedly stronger than the rebel army!
But after all, there are 500,000 people in the rebel army!
In the case of a five-fold difference, once the two sides fight, no matter what the result is, there will definitely be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of casualties in the process!
His own people had hundreds of thousands of casualties, just thinking about it was a little hard for him to accept!
How to do?
Cobra was very confused.
Because of this, the situation at the scene was so strangely frozen for a while!
Cobra struggled because he couldn't decide what to do with the rebel army, and the rebel army had to stop and rest because of the exhaustion caused by the long and hasty march!
And this stalemate lasted until the rebels rested, and then there was a change!
