1811 Falcon's Arrow II
"It's great that you can think like this!" With a little satisfaction after negotiations, the herald Schroller left Sukogad very energetically, and he had to rush back to report, leaving Trensk alone, standing in front of the dark window with a gloomy face,
Along the streets of Trensk, where there is no starlight, only a faint and dark mist, the gaze is projected through the night onto the huge outer city walls,
"My lord, you don't have to blame yourself too much, it's not your fault, you're just obeying orders!" The adjutant stood behind Trensk with a respectful face, "The general who can use 30,000 troops to block the 100,000 Falcon Army under the city for three days is the only general in Gaul!"
"I'm not blaming myself, I'm just feeling sorry for Sukogad in front of me!" I can hear the crying of this fortress" Trensk took a deep breath with a flat face, held his hand on the windowsill, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Sorry for Sukogad?" The adjutant was stunned for a moment, what did the commander mean by this?
"I'm a Danni!" Transk smiled slightly, his eyes were full of depth and memories, and said slowly, "As a Danni, the proudest thing in my heart is this big fortress, when I was a new soldier, I used to look up at the huge fortress with my head held high, and I felt that this fortress was really majestic, even the most terrible enemy would be like ashes in front of this strong fortress!, speaking of the powerful cognition of the empire, it also started from this fortress,
"All of them are made of huge and complete stones, with their own water sources, which can withstand the impact of large trebuchets and the siege of heavy troops, like giants standing in the heart of this plateau, strong, powerful, and indestructible! But it has never been used in history, isn't it ridiculous!" Transk's voice stopped. Retracting his gaze, he continued, "The huge fortress originally used against the barbarians of the northwest did not even have a chance to bravely face the enemy, because in the thirty years since its construction, the empire has conquered the northwest of Obaro in one fell swoop, and this great fortress in the west has completely become a chicken rib, but as a Danni, they all think that this great fortress is like a strong armored warrior, silently waiting for the day to prove itself." When I received the order to defend Sukogad, I thought I was the one who could rejuvenate Sukogad, and I was even ready to fight to the death," Trensk said in a heavy tone. With a hint of pain in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "But just tonight, I had to make the decision to abandon this big fortress, and the Legion Headquarters thought I was arrogant and ignored the orders of the Legion Headquarters. They were wrong, and this time they really were. Algernonkatya will surely regret his decision to lose Sukogad to the Falcons. The Falcon Army is equivalent to easily controlling half of the Danny Plateau without bloodshed, and the battle line of the Falcon Army can directly reach the city of Danny!"
"Your Excellency!"
The adjutant's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Trensk with a dejected expression, seeing how difficult it was to give up Sukogad, but he didn't expect that Trensk turned out to be a pure Danni. It is no wonder that the adults, who have always been cautious and always respectful and courteous, unexpectedly made bold acts that disobeyed the orders of the Legion Headquarters. I don't know if there will be more severe punishment waiting for this return to Danny. "My lord!" At this moment, an attendant officer pushed open the door of the room with a nervous expression, and straightened up to report, "The watchtower in the city found that the Falcon Army outside the city was dragging the siege Thor to a high place, it seems that it is preparing for a strong attack tomorrow, the soldiers seem to be a little turbulent, do you need to send a law enforcement team?" "Siege Thor! The Falcon Army even brought that kind of demon!" Trensk's pupils constricted unnaturally, and his fingers clenched tightly, making a clicking sound of bone joints, "My lord, do you want to continue fighting, or ...... "The adjutant's face is not good-looking, the Thunder God of the Falcon Army is already a weapon similar to the punishment of heaven, and the most powerful siege Thor in the Thor has the huge destructive power of destroying the city, even a strong fortress like Sukogad does not dare to guarantee that it will be able to withstand it, hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is always inevitable to leave some brittle walls, once it is forcibly blasted open by the Falcon Army, it will be a tragic civil war in the city, Trensk's troops are not elite, at most in the Northern Army, it is at most the middle and upper level, and the Falcon Army outside the city is the famous Falcon Empire Central Army, the real elite of a hundred battlesWhat's more, the number of the other party is 100,000, and there are only 30,000 troops in the city! "My lord, you must be calm!"
Beads of sweat oozed from the adjutant's forehead, and he prayed fiercely in his heart, he was really afraid that Trensk would order to continue to hold on, then tomorrow might be the end of the 30,000 troops in the city, under his eager gaze, Trensk glanced at the darkness in the distance, and finally waved his hand, "Forget it, according to the order, the armies will retreat to Danny!"
With a little rain in the hazy early morning, the next day, the Falcon Army entered the fortress city of Sukogad smoothly, without the slightest resistance, the empty Sukogad is like an abandoned big man, the tall figure is full of loneliness and loneliness, as a Danni, in the early morning evacuated Transk, strict requirements under the command of not low to preserve the integrity of the city to the greatest extent, not allowed to set fire to the house, not allowed to damage the original buildings at will, the stone and wood mixed living area is empty, the furniture inside is not touched"I've finally found a place where I don't have to endure the rain every day!"
The fat man rested his legs crossed on an old brown desk, looking satisfied. The butt sank deep into the black leather sofa, one of the best buildings in the city, a historic count's court, and picked up a copy of the Gallic Chronicles written by the Gallic historian Berlangetey on the table, and the fat man flipped through it disapprovingly
"Gaul Chronicles" was written one hundred and fifty years ago, written about the first eight emperors of Gaul to expand the territory, the reason why the fat man is interested, because a madwoman specifically mentioned this book, in Central Bya, this book is the first textbook for the study of Gallic intelligence by the Central Beatians, the Gallic historian who wrote this book, Berlang Segetay, who wrote this book, has a wealth of historical knowledge, and when writing, he always writes clearly about the customs and customs of the Gaul region involved and how the emperors fought at the beginning.
Fingers caressed the precious leather book cover outside, and felt the time indicated on the last page of the book cover. It has been 117 years now, and the fat man's eyes lit up, his fingers wiped on the leather cover, his mouth smiled, and as soon as his fingers flipped over, he unceremoniously stuffed it into his own clothes pocket, and it was a very rare treasure! The fat man got up from the sofa, and Governor Rusty had been arguing several times to get him a copy of this book.
Because of the high cost and the difficulty of preservation. It is basically difficult to preserve a book after decades, and with the impact of the war, these rare books have been pawned as other things, and it is rare to find such things, and you can see it. The original owner of this book values this book very much and packages it very carefully. And it is also a rare antiquity that has been passed down for at least two or three generations. This is the best image I've ever seen.,It's best to use it to reward the guy who has a bad mouth.,
A guard came to report that the generals had set up a temporary headquarters in the center of the city, and that the soldiers had cleared all corners of the city in detachments, and found a large amount of timber in the warehouse in the lower left corner of the city. The fat man's face was slightly stunned for a moment, and he found wood! It showed that the other party had the ability to set fire to the city before withdrawing, but the other party did not do so! Was it the order from above, or was there some other reason? The fat man had no way of knowing this. He was ready to take on a burned Sukogad, but the truth was not what he expected
"Come on, order Hukochili to lead 20,000 imperial cavalry to Granburg as fast as possible!" His eyes rolled, with a somewhat inexplicable look, the fat man decisively ordered to the guards, if the speed is fast enough, the Gauls should not have completely abandoned Gramburg, and the other party would never have imagined that after capturing Sukogad, they would immediately raid Granburg
"All the troops are on their horses and forward, Glenburg!"
Hukochi rode his horse and whipped, rode his war horse, and led the cavalry troops out of the huge gate of Sukogad, and quickly rushed to the next strategic point, Gramburg, and felt a trace of inexplicable feeling for this huge fortress in his heart, what a good fortress, why did the Gauls give up so lightly,
Could it really be as His Majesty the Falcon said, Algernon Katya has been carried away by the victory he expected, and he can't see at all how much influence giving up Sukogad has on the entire battle situation, from now on, as long as the big fortress of Sukogad is in hand, the Falcon Army will be invincible in Danny! "Raid Granburg, if you succeed, immediately strengthen it with all your might!"
With such an order, Hukochili ordered the cavalry of the Guards to assemble and quickly approach Granburg, behind the dust raised by the horses. It was 100 wagons carrying some of the heavy weapons, Thor, heavy ballistas, the wheels crushed the hard ground under their feet, a gravel road across the Danny Plateau creaked with the wheels, Hukochili divided the 20,000 cavalry into two parts, 15,000 cavalry approached Granburg as fast as possible, and the remaining 5,000 cavalry guarded the slower transport wagons,
At noon, Hukochili's fifteen thousand cavalry entered the range of Granburg, and the horse's hooves jumped up the mound in front of him, looking at the smoke rising into the sky like a black dragon in front of him, Hukochili had a hint of foreboding in his heart,
"My lord, there is a fire in Glenburg!, and we have found the troops evacuated by the Gauls!" the news brought by the scout made Hukochili's face suddenly excited,
"So, the enemy is just retreating?" Hukochili fingers gripped the reins of his warhorse,
"Yes, my lord, the enemy didn't expect us to come, so they just set Granburg on fire in a hurry and didn't send scouts!" the scout cavalry nodded solemnly,
"Then what are you waiting for! If you can't get a good Glenburg, then fill it with the heads of the Gauls!" Hukochi decisively drew his sword to the cavalry behind him and raised it high, which was a signal to prepare for battle, and the cold light on the face of the knife seemed to ignite the blood of the young imperial cavalry in an instant
The war horse rolls like thunder, the sound of tens of thousands of cavalry neatly drawing out the war knife is like a sound of tearing cotton, and there is a sense of penetration of blood in the poignant, and the neatly marching cavalry quickly began to form a staggered triangle shape, and the war horse tacitly maintained a uniform speed, just like countless horses under the leadership of the head horse, like a hurricane tearing apart the earth in front of them, and booming "The horse's hooves raised the broken soil on the ground, forming a landscape like a sandstorm on the Danny Plateau, and the powerful imperial iron cavalry quickly approached in the direction of Glenburg.
On the road from Gramburg to Granny, a long procession was marching in the direction of Granny, the 8th and 9th Infantry Regiments of the Gallic Northern Army, which were stationed in Granburg, and they had received an order from Algernonkatya yesterday to evacuate Granburg.
Out of prudence, the commanders of the two infantry regiments postponed the evacuation until noon the next day, and Transk, which had retreated from Sukkad, was joined by the two infantry regiments, and a Gallic force of 60,000 men marched slowly in the direction of Danny. After walking for a whole morning, coupled with the great dissatisfaction with the order to retreat, the faces of both the soldiers and the officers looked listless, and the scattered queue dragged out for five or six miles, like a long snake wriggling forward.
Of the three units, the 9th Infantry Regiment was in charge of the rear. Infantry Commander Andrew Lechar heard a voice coming from behind him: "What a damn it. When is it going to rain like this!" Raised his head angrily and looked at the gloomy sky overhead, thinking that the dozens of miles behind him would have to be drenched in rain and march hard, Andrew Lechar's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together,
was already dissatisfied with the task of the queen of the palace, and now it is even worse. His Ninth Legion, one of the three hoplite regiments in the Northern Army, was well-equipped, and the soldiers had to march in heavy armor because of the haste of the retreat. It's okay to be slow, if the ground turns into mud in the heavy rain, it's more sad, the bottom of the iron boots of the armor is very flat, although heavy, but it will become very slippery in the rain and mud, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may fall, and you usually forget it, put on a heavy armor weighing 40 pounds and fall, the delicate skin is scratched by the metal rubbing, not to mention the injury, it is very difficult to stand up
Just as he was complaining, he heard a voice from the rear team, "Enemy! Cavalry!" Andrew Lechar looked along the noisy rear, his body trembled violently, his face suddenly became miserable, a faint black line appeared five or six hundred meters behind, the speed was very open, the black line quickly turned into a black cloud, the ground became trembling, and the stones jumped uneasily, "Kill!" Fifteen thousand falcon cavalry swords, like a river of light rising in the morning light,
The horses' hooves roared, the earth trembled, and suddenly a huge avalanche rolled down from the heights, and by the arc of the slope, the deed of the cavalry group plunged deep into the Gallic rear troops like knives, and before the Gallic soldiers could fully react, the lightning-like black cavalry had already struck them like a hurricane,
The sharp swords in the hands of the guards cavalry slashed lightly on their stunned necks, and the heads of the big people were slashed into the air by the sharp blades, bringing up the blood stains that rushed to the sky, and the horses' hooves rolled in, and the war horses rushed directly like monsters, and thousands of flying horses' hooves kicked down from the front of the troops behind the palace
Countless corpses, like remnants rolled up in a storm, knocked down, trampled, and finally torn apart by galloping horses,
The infantry fell to the ground in a panic, and in just five minutes of contact, the Imperial cavalry led by Hukochili forcibly broke the rear block of the Ninth Infantry Regiment like a strong wind blowing down weak grass, "Kill!" The fierce shouts of killing, one row, two rows, three rows, the cavalry cluster was completely in an unshy crushing posture to carry out strategic cross-cutting, and the Gallic Ninth Infantry Regiment, which was in a hurry, was unable to mobilize troops in time to respond in the face of the sudden tangential attack of a large number of cavalry,
"Don't mess around, don't go back!"
Andrew Lechar drew his sword, stood under the battle flag, and shouted hoarsely, but his shouting was useless, the soldiers were already in disarray, and the people behind were running forward like crazy, and even some of the queues that had just been organized were rushed to pieces,
Andrew Letzal looked at the scattered soldiers, and knew that he had no way to retreat, and in front of him, his subordinates were like paper paste, falling row after row in front of the black cavalry swept by the wind. Andrew Lechar shouted hard, the long sword with the sound of the wind, stabbed into the horse of a staggered falcon cavalry, the war horse neighed, the knight above was covered in blood and flipped off the horse's back, Andrew Lechar clenched the long sword with both hands, and walked to get the sword to penetrate the chest of the seriously injured falcon cavalry again, and the sharp blade completely pierced the body of the cavalryman
"Poof"
But more falcon cavalry swords also came at the same time
"Poof!" The blood exploded and stained him mercilessly, and the bright red blood shot out from between the general's armor like water squeezed out when a pipe bursts!
"Lord Andrew Letzal is dead!" the Ninth Infantry Regiment behind the Gallic Palace was completely out of order,
"Mom, run for your life!"
The Gallic soldiers were scurrying like hornets that had blown up their nests, and behind them, countless black cavalry rushed through the middle of the hastily formed queue of hoplites like clusters of arrows off the string, and the Gallic infantry that were scurrying around in panic were violently rammed and flew out.
The huge deed-shaped tip was the cold light of the fierce slashing of the war knife, like an unstoppable cluster of huge arrows, inserted from the tail position of the Gallic army,
The Gallic troops encountered were either crushed or scattered, and the huge cut composed of 15,000 imperial cavalry almost trampled directly and directly destroyed the rear of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Gallic Northern Army, which numbered only more than 10,000 people, and the strong impact of the cavalry on the flat terrain mercilessly cut the infantry ranks into pieces, (to be continued......)
