1847 The Empire's First Winter Offensive (V)

Towards the end of the battle, Nagri's tall body jumped down from a stopped reindeer chariot, lit the heavy glow on his black armor, like a dark gaze of extinction light, coldly swept across the battlefield strewn with corpses, waved his hand, and ordered in a cold voice, "Pass the order, leave no one behind, kill them all!"

"Do you have to do this?" asked the princess, Besukaya, with her eyes wide open, a little unbearable beside him,

In the past, she followed the fat man, although she knew the cruelty of the battlefield, but after all, it was a number of battle reports, but now it was a tragic battlefield where thousands of corpses were piled up in the valley, and for a while she was also a little confused, thinking that this order could cause countless people to die tragically, even if these people were enemies!

"Your Highness, we have no choice!"

Nagri in charge of the command is undoubtedly an experienced battlefield veteran, at the critical moment, decisive, brave, decisive in killing, never dragging mud and water, he knows very well that the difficulty of this sneak attack is not in the sneak attack, but in how to return safely after the sneak attack, although there are extremely fast sleds as a means of transportation, but the number is too small, only 3,000 people, and what needs to be crossed is the defense area of the 100,000 troops of the Gauls, as long as the horse's feet are slightly exposed, the Gauls discover the retreat route, encircled and intercepted, and the 3,000 cold warriors can return alive will not exceed one-third

Even though it was already a landslide victory, he still showed that he was not in a hurry, he looked at Besukaya with apologetic eyes, and explained, "Your Highness's intentions are good, but I'm sorry, as a sneak attack force, we can't go on the road with so much baggage, and similarly, the captives are not allowed to save zài."

Nagri's voice stopped, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Although it is cruel, I hope to be scolded by the enemy as cruel afterwards than being discovered by the enemy and sending heavy troops to intercept us in front and rear!"

Besukaya looked at the clan uncle who had always been respectful to him. His face was a little embarrassed, with a bit of self-deprecation: "Uncle Clan is right, it's me who is too sentimental! The teacher used to criticize me, saying that if I went to the battlefield, even if my head was full of strategy and tactics, it would be useless, because I didn't even have the courage to raise my weapon to face the enemy! Maybe I'm really the kind of person who is not suitable for making decisions!" "Teacher? Your Highness is talking about the Vicchia Falcon? I don't know what Your Highness said? It's an honor to get this man's comment!" Nagri's eyes lit up slightly, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, but the whole of Ikadhivar already agreed that the Vecchia Falcon was the invincible god of war in the empire. This man smashed the overlord of the Northland in one fell swoop, like a peak that people dare not look up to, making countless Northland men feel inferior, "The teacher said that I am too kind, so kind that I don't know the difference between friend and foe! So I am not suitable to be the kind of eloquent monarch! Otherwise, I will definitely kill myself" The corners of Besukaya's mouth smiled slightly, a little bitter, she was instilled with the belief of becoming the leader of the Besu tribe since she was a child, and after getting this comment from the fat man, the strong Besukaya secretly cried a few times,

"Nope. The kindness of Her Royal Highness is exactly what everyone can look forward to!" Nagri straightened up and looked at the soldiers on the battlefield who were cleaning up. Ning Sheng said, "Her Royal Highness is recognized as the hope of rejuvenation of my Besu clan, not only because of the royal blood in His Highness, but also because of His Royal Highness's kind nature to treat anyone, whether it is a former friend. It is still a former enemy, and everyone believes that under the leadership of the princess, the situation will be changed if the various tribes have been killing each other for hundreds of years. Those who survive in the increasingly difficult terrain, even a butcher as cold as me Nagri have a fervent expectation for Her Royal Highness from the bottom of their hearts!' Besukaya's face was slightly stunned

"I look forward to the day when Your Highness will really become the leader of the entire Northland!" Nagri lowered his head, his eyes became more and more determined, and he put his right hand on his chest and said with great reverence, "And everyone also believes that day will come!"

"The leader of the entire Northlands ......" Besukaya's delicate body trembled slightly, and her white face, which was already like an ice and snow beauty, looked a little unnatural,

"Hurry, hurry, clean up now!" Under the light of the blazing fire burning in the sky with black smoke and dust, the cold warriors who were still in heavy armor and still moved freely in the snow jumped down from the stopped reindeer chariots, their heavy steps stepped into the red snow, raised the bone knife with serrated teeth, mercilessly cut the throats of some Gauls who had not yet fully breathed, and kicked the corpses with their feet, some Gauls who had not yet died whimpered and the miserable sound was like the howling of ghosts in the dark night, until the sound of a qiē was still, and only the rustle of the feet of the northerners on the snow was heard in the distance, and the cold wind with the smell of blood blew on the face,

Besukaya came back to her senses from the shock, her heart was very chaotic, she had imagined countless times how good it would be if the tribes of the Northland could coexist peacefully, but now that she really faced everyone's expectations, she felt the courage on her shoulders extremely heavy,

"General, there is absolutely no one who is panting!" A strong man from the cold land with a height of two meters ran over and reported, Leng Sensen's teeth were like a bear from the north that had just been fed, Nagri sent people to carefully collect the battlefield, to make sure that there was no return left, and gave the order for the soldiers to light the carriage full of baggage,

The roaring firelight lit up the night sky like a light screen. No one noticed the attack on the snowy night, and it was not until the next day that a caravan passed through the gorge and saw the corpses of the soldiers lying in the frozen snow, and the wreckage of countless burned carriages almost covered the recesses of the canyon.

In the military department of Kyoto in Gaul, the head of the Kyoto front, Yald, looked at the report just sent with some disbelief, the baggage transported from the eastern army was attacked, and the most incredible thing was that the five thousand cavalry guarding it were all wiped out, and the enemy did not know who it was! "Bandit, a bandit who dared to attack the five thousand imperial cavalry appeared near Imperial Kyoto, am I blind, or are you blind!" "The rulers of the Eastern Army have just stood on the same line with Kyoto, and as a result, something like this happened, and now that the rulers are outside, will you let me take such a thing to appease them?"

The head of the intelligence department, Marquis Harron, shrunk his neck in fright. Thinking of the tragic scene when I went to the inquest, it is still a little disgusting, the huge escort force of 5,000 cavalry was completely wiped out, there was no living mouth, the cold of the night reached more than ten degrees below zero, and when the wind and snow stopped the next day, the edge of the entire canyon was covered with red ice cubes up to more than ten meters long, and the most unbelievable place was that it snowed heavily overnight enough to reach people's calves, but there was no trace related to the attacker.

It seems that these guys with great powers can come by the wind and snow, and they have become monsters when they ride the wind and snow

After the investigation, the entire battlefield did not see a single iconic crossbow arrow belonging to the Falcon Army, and the personnel who went to inspect could only think that the five thousand escort cavalry had been attacked by unknown bandits, and because of this, Yard expressed his extreme anger,

If there really is such a cow bandit. Five thousand cavalry, although the light cavalry of the Eastern Army is still some distance from the heavy armored cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, but in terms of combat power, it does not belong to the 10,000 combat power. Turned into corpses in the wind and snow overnight, such bandits are simply much more powerful than the regular army, and they can't even find the whereabouts of the other party's retreat in the long wind and snow weather, this joke is not funny at all! If it is really the handiwork of the Falcon Army. To be able to come and go without a trace like this is an absolute nightmare for the Kyoto Defense Line!" Your intelligence department will collectively decide on its own!" Jarde gave the death order, and the head of the intelligence department, Marquis Harun, shuddered, and left the office with a crawl. Hundreds of intelligence officers in blue cloaks and black peaked hats searched the once corpse-ridden canyon in the hope of finding something valuable beneath the thick snow.

The corpses in the canyon have been cleaned out, but there are not a few severed fingers and feet left.

For the searchers of the Gallic Intelligence Department, who are eager to dig three feet into the ground, carefully picking up the snowdrifts and seeing the scarlet below is as exciting as playing with mines, and the people who clean up the corpses are not so careful, and it is not uncommon to leave one or two dead heads,

In the end, it turned out that the intelligence department was lucky, and the personnel of the intelligence department, who were puzzled by the investigation site, unexpectedly obtained a piece of news that did not seem to have much meaning, a broken wooden sled board, and the rubble scattered around the ground: "This is something made by hand, and the stone must be caused by the impact of some extremely fast heavy object!" The expert in charge of inspecting the traces carefully fiddled with the rubble, examining the cracks that showed a kind of shattering after impact, and came to a very close conclusion, but the exact thing was still uncertain

"It can't be something like the Slavs!" an old intelligence officer who had fought in the Northwest Slavic region of the empire looked at the smooth ground of the broken sled formwork and said uncertainly, "Slav things, what the hell are they?"

"I've only met once or twice. The Slavic region of the northwest would be very cold in winter, with a thick layer of snow that would cover the knees, and people and horses would not be able to move at all, except for one thing, what the Slavs called the climbing plough of a snow mobile" The old intelligence officer recalled with a look on his face, and said slowly, "It was a tool cart pulled by a dog, without wheels, but a kind of horizontal board that could move quickly on the snow, and could run fast on the thick snow"

"You say this thing is a transverse board, and a dog has such a lot of strength?"

"In any case, it's also a reason not to be! This is cold and snowy, and if you stay for a long time, you will definitely get sick."

Someone stomped his feet in the ankle-high snowdrift, sighed at the frozen red hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Now that the medicines in the city are completely restricted, even the doctors have been requisitioned by the army, and no one wants to deal with a department like our intelligence department, if it is really sick, then some people will suffer!"

"yes, yes, let's report it like this, or everyone will die here!" The crowd was in a commotion, and a group of people gathered around a broken sled board stared at each other.

Since the Northern Army was almost completely wiped out in Danny, the Gallic military community has been extremely disappointed with the Ministry of Intelligence. The funds are getting smaller and smaller, and according to the generals of the army, the Falcon Army has already hit a place where the naked eye can see, so what's the use of such a burden as the Intelligence Department? Anyway, it is a department that has never been fulfilled, just like an old Laipi dog curled up at the door, and it will not necessarily bark twice when it sees someone coming, and it is really redundant to keep it, and in this case, the life of the Intelligence Department is quite sad.

Prices in Kyoto are skyrocketing. Some of the intelligence department's personnel have run out of cooking at home, and there are not a few who rely on borrowing money and food from everywhere to survive, who still has the heart to really work on this kind of drudgery, the new investigation conclusion is reported, everyone's heart is a little speculative, the head of the Kyoto defense line, Yard is not a role that can be fooled casually like the Minister of Intelligence, Marquis Aaron, but strangely, this conclusion turned out to be the passage of Yard, the reason for the destruction of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the Eastern Army was that it was attacked by a large number of dog sleds......

It's a ridiculous conclusion.

But combined with the news fed back by the front-line troops, it was not so unbelievable, and the front-line troops reacted, in the camp of the Falcon Army opposite. I saw something like this dog sled, horse-drawn sled, and some horses were pulling skateboard-like things, loaded with supplies, and moving freely through the thick layers of snow. Inspired by the reindeer sleigh of the cold people, the fat man decisively organized a horse-drawn sleigh team, which was very effective in solving the stubborn problem of transportation difficulties caused by heavy snow in winter.

Because of the introduction of new means of transport, the pace of the winter offensive began to really pick up,

The first breakthrough point of the front appeared in the north. The Salonian army, which was in difficulty in the offensive in the north of Gaul because of heavy snow and ice, received the first batch of reinforcements from the southwest region, and the 3,000 horse-drawn sled teams composed of 10,000 horses were put into the northern offensive, and the morale of the Salonian army was suddenly bursting, and the soldiers wearing the latest imperial winter uniforms, wearing fur hats on their heads to protect themselves from frostbite, rode the horse-drawn sleighs to kill the defense line of the Gauls, and when the Gauls who were deployed on the opposite side were still stunned, the 30,000 elites of the Salonian army were already like locusts that spread across the snowy fields。 Generally get off the stopped horse-drawn sleigh,

"Queue! Queue!" The soldiers who jumped off the sleigh slammed on the ground under the thick snow with their feet, and for many infantrymen who had never ridden a war horse in their lives, the experience of galloping on the snow was unforgettable. Those who refused to come down from the sleigh were whipped down by the captains of the infantry.

There was a lot of snow powder hanging on the stubble at the corner of Salon's mouth, and the imperial warrior also felt stunned, he showed a shuddering smile, and secretly exhaled, it was really cool, I didn't expect the Falcon Majesty to think of such a way to fight, and crossed more than ten miles in one breath, the soldiers not only did not even consume a little body, but also could directly enter the battle with high momentum, and the Gauls on the opposite side were miserable, looking at the complete chaos on the opposite side, I knew that these turtle grandsons definitely didn't expect that they would be killed at such a gallop, and they hadn't even given the order to assemble!

"Forward!" The 30,000-strong Salon army charged like locusts, stepping on the snow and breaking the snow flying, at a distance of 100 meters, the Gauls on the opposite side forgot to fire their arrows, and the Salon who personally led the team drew out the two war knives on his back very imposingly, and shouted, "Advance! Kill, kill them all!"

"Kill, kill them!" The Salonian army, which had been holding its breath for more than half a month, was like a group of thugs rushing towards the street beggars shivering in the cold wind in thin linen clothes, wearing dazzling thick winter armor very undisciplinedly, and unceremoniously stabbing the first line of defense hastily formed by the Gauls with metal shields and spears, like bursting chrysanthemums, making the Gauls on the opposite side who had not yet recovered cry bitterly

"Kill!"

The sound of fierce fighting was like being ignited in an instant, directly breaking the defense line of the Falcon Empire heavy infantry, mouth, the ferocious slaughter made the Gauls almost collapse, in front of them was a bright metal reflection, countless swords slashing, spears piercing. Blood flowed all over the ground under his feet, seeping deep into the dirt, and it was bloody.

On the opposite side are the 5th and 7th infantry regiments of the Gallic New Northern Army, the number is about 50,000, the combat power is average, but it has the advantage of winter ice and snow cover, the commanders of the two infantry regiments are experienced people, and each time they form a pair of giant pincers to contain the Salon army, and many times Salon returns in vain,

They planted a secret post above the Falcon camp, and as soon as the Falcon Army was dispatched, the two infantry regiments would immediately close together.

But this time, the speed of the dark sentry could not keep up with the speed of the horse-drawn sleigh, and when the 30,000 Salon troops arrived, the two infantry regiments, which had not even gathered their troops, were like being pointed at chrysanthemums by the enemy's sword, and in addition to being tight, there were also annoyed and angry, and they wanted to die, what the hell was going on! The two infantry regiments were hastily closed, and they were forcibly torn apart by the Salonian army, and there were countless casualties! In the afternoon, the two infantry regiments could not hold out and completely collapsed! A huge gap was torn open on the northern front of Gaul, (to be continued......
