On June 17, Murphy's army stormed the southwestern capital, and the famous Gaul general Murphy Obuun personally commanded the heavy cavalry group to attack the city wall with the unimaginable tactics of pillbox support bridges, and the Janissaries were caught off guard and were broken through the defensive line in one fell swoop.

The Praetorian Guard withdrew into the city, and the Murphy Legion, who thought that the overall situation had been decided, then entered the capital, but unexpectedly encountered the stubborn resistance launched by the Praetorian Guard using the civilians, and the chaos in the southwest began to be like a tenor mouth ups and downs, and the rising singing voice continued to present the situation, and finally began to completely get out of control, and the Murphy Army and the Praetorian Guard fought fiercely in the city, with countless casualties, which was the beginning of the "Southwest Death" that made later historians feel a trace of sadness,

"In this city, the blood of civilians is like the tomato juice squeezed out by both sides, this is a rare brutality in the war, it is definitely a meat grinder-like disaster, after the war statistics, the original population of the southwest capital is 240,000, and the last remaining citizens are 77,639 people, the death of the southwest civilians as high as 168743, up to 160,000 civilians, in just one day, was slaughtered by the warring parties"" It is conceivable that in this medium-sized city, which is only 20 miles long and wide, the corpses of countless civilians are covered in the streets, and it is impossible to find a place to stay, until at last they are swept by the hooves of the heavy cavalry, trampled into completely unrecognizable minced meat."

"What really makes this war qualified to be recorded in history is not the brilliant command of the commanders on both sides in this war, but the casualties of a large number of civilians in the southwest who were involved in this war like a huge whirlpool, although there is no definite evidence that the mastermind behind this southwest death is the creator of the empire, Vekia Falcon, but the last beneficiary of the death of the southwest is already the supreme who enjoys the name of the god of war. ”――

Excerpt from "Analysis of the Early Battles of the Falcon Empire: The Death of the Southwest!" by Toba Ffield, a senior battle researcher at the Imperial Military Academy.

On Xiangse Street, the capital of the southwest, the ground is full of corpses. After several changes of hands, on this section of the street, which is no more than 100 meters long, there are more than 700 corpses stacked by the two armies, and almost one meter away are the corpses of six or seven soldiers.

As evening fell, the light gradually dimmed, and the air filled the air with the smell of blood after a day of fighting

In front of him, the Praetorian Guard had completely dispersed, and the innercity neighborhoods were revealed. Xiangse Street is the most prosperous street in the southwestern capital, and it has always been famous for selling curiosities, but at this moment, what covers the entire street is not the glitter of jewels that fascinated countless celebrities in the past, but the 100-meter-long road that directly catches the eye like a place leading to hell, this road is completely composed of uncountable flesh and blood blurred corpses, because there are so many dead people that the road has been blocked. The two armies at war had a very tacit understanding to move the corpses to both sides,

Annafinn glanced at the buildings in the inner city ahead of her, licked her dry lips, and said to the herald behind her with an excited expression. "Report to the Lords, my Ninth Squadron will be the first unit of the entire Legion to set foot in the inner city!" "Hooray, victory!" The surrounding Murphy soldiers heard his voice and raised their fingers in unison to let out a howl of victory. After a day of fierce fighting, the door to the inner city was finally opened, and even a strong man like Annafin, who was two meters tall, was tired to death at the moment. What's more, these soldiers of average stature, everyone can't remember the first time they fought with the Praetorian Guard, the entire squadron of 1,500 people, and the battle damage reached 700, Annafinn believed that the Janissaries on the opposite side suffered more casualties than herself,

But soon, their cries weakened, "What's wrong, do you feel it?"

Annafinn heard the soldiers stop shouting, and asked each other in a low voice, "Don't mess up!" Feeling the earth tremble violently under his feet, Annafin's face suddenly became very strange, the violent vibration sound had made him feel unsteady on his feet, and his voice became intermittent, Murphy's dragon cavalry itself is also a heavy cavalry, and it is naturally no stranger to this kind of voice, heavy cavalry! It turned out to be a heavy cavalry! Annafin's body shuddered, his voice was hoarse, and he shouted with all his strength, "Quick, everyone evacuate the street immediately!" At the moment when he shouted, the dense sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side had already rushed closer, and when he raised his head, Annafinn was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of him, and saw that on the other side, like a devil who suddenly rushed out of the night that had fallen, countless huge black shadows rushed from the opposite inner city block, row after row by an unstoppable torrent of steel, and the soldiers in front of him turned over one after another, as if they were as vulnerable as paper paste!

"Kill!" the roar of the Imperial cavalry drowned out the screams of men and horses on the ground. At this moment, Annafinn suddenly felt that his ears were suddenly occupied by a huge rumbling sound, and he saw a group of ironclad cavalry discharged out of the contract-shaped assault formation as heavy as a majestic mountain, and quickly pressed towards him, and the dozen or so soldiers in the front row were swept away by the huge impact force before they even had time to shout the first exclamation, and then fell under the iron hooves of the back row, in the terrifying offensive of the heavy cavalry, the exhausted Murphy soldiers could not even resist for a moment, and were overwhelmed by this torrent of ironclad in an instant, "My lord, our team has suffered heavy casualties and has been attacked by the enemy's heavy cavalry!"

An officer of the Murphy Dragon Armor Army, who was covered in blood, ran to Murphy Oone with a sad face and reported, "What, heavy cavalry! How is it possible!" Hearing such a report, Murphy Boone suddenly felt a cold like falling into an ice cave, and almost fell off his horse, it was so shameless, his face was full of angry scolding, and at this time, in his position, he could faintly hear the roaring sound of the heavy cavalry stepping on the street,

Offie Bryan's face suddenly turned pale, the army was tired from a long battle, and he would think that the other party was in such a situation of near collapse, and there was such a force in the sea ambush that was enough to turn the whole battle around, the other party was recuperating, and his own side had no troops to send,

The torrent of Janissary heavy cavalry soon tore several gaps in the defense line of the Murphy army, and the Murphy cavalry, who was caught off guard, and the heavy cavalry in patches crashed over, and the cavalry fell to the ground as dense as a storm blowing wheat waves!'

The dense queue of the Praetorian Heavy Cavalry was like a sharp knife, cutting deep into the huge body of the Murphy Army, because at the beginning it was a scattered battle, and the Janissary Heavy Cavalry was almost invincible to beat all the Murphy cavalry blocking the road in front. For the first time, the Murphy Dragonarmour scattered in panic to avoid fleeing for their lives.

Feeling that the situation in front of him was not good, Murphy Bryan loudly ordered the trumpeter to blow the assembly call of the whole legion, "Woo woo" on behalf of the assembly of the horn resounded throughout the battlefield, some nearby troops approached in the direction of Murphy Oone Boone, and soon gathered more than 4,000 people, Murphy Boone was ready to stop the movement of this sharp knife immediately, he guided himself, if he could not quickly stop the momentum of the opponent's heavy cavalry, and continue to let the other side fight more and less, all his troops would collapse without a fight.

As a cavalry general, he knew very well that once the opponent's heavy cavalry took the initiative and targeted the destruction of his own army, it would be impossible for him to retreat safely, and the other side would definitely chase and kill the scattered army until the last man fell.

He chose the main road in the center of the city, where the Praetorian Guard cavalry must rush back and forth, and with his general's own team as the backbone, he gathered 4,000 heavily armored Murphy dragon cavalry to set up an ambush. Murphy Boone is confident of delivering a heavy blow

Twenty minutes later, the imposing heavy cavalry of the Praetorian Guard arrived as scheduled,

In a narrow passage leading to the city's main thoroughfare, the Praetorian Guard cavalry, which had just routed a group of Murphy's dragon cavalry, could be seen galloping by. This is the main street of the city, connecting more than a dozen small streets, which are actually not small, and they are all more than five meters wide. It's just that relative to the width of the main street eighteen meters, they are small streets, roads that extend in all directions. It can also be an excellent road for cavalry guerrilla warfare, Murphy Boone has long built the southwest capital into a city suitable for his own main battlefield, in addition to the previous cavalry attack on the city wall, in terms of streets, there are also full preparations, 4,000 Murphy dragon cavalry quietly lurk in these streets leading to the middle main street,

The cavalrymen's faces were stern, and their eyes shone as they moved with the movement of the enemy who was speeding by, and in their hands, the cavalry assault spears, heavy swords, and even the flail were ready,

On the third fork in the side of the main street, Murphy Boone calculated the time, according to this speed, the other party should have passed five thousand people, he slowly pulled out his sword, looked at the Praetorian Guard cavalry speeding past more than ten meters in front of him, and shouted fiercely, "Kill!"

Four thousand heavily armed Murphy dragon cavalry, like a pouring tide of steel, suddenly slaughtered from the narrow passages on both sides,

Like a cutting blade, it hit the side of the Praetorian Guard cavalry, and the ranks of the heavy cavalry on both sides finally collided together, and the tragedy in an instant, like a dozen huge nails, slammed into the Praetorian Guard marching in the middle, and suddenly stirred up countless splashing waves.

That is the sparks splashed by the swords and guns of the cavalry of the two sides! The appearance of the Murphy dragon armor cavalry is very brave, although it is already the tired body of the fierce battle, but the cavalry of the horseback mountain still struggles to split, and collides with the other party when the war horses are staggered, the bright red blood flowers explode in the wind, and the men and horses on both sides fall to the ground like the rice waves that have been hit by the typhoon, "Forward, crush them!"

The horses neighed, the two armies staggered together, the cavalry that collided with each other rolled on the ground from their horses, and broke under the powerful multi-level attack, the follow-up troops on both sides shouted, and the whole platoon followed and pounced on them, the victor was able to save his life for a short time, while the loser was trampled into pulp by iron hooves in the blink of an eye!

Whether it was a person or a horse, under the weight of the two powerful ironclad torrents, they all fell to the ground, and the momentum, as if two huge dragons, suddenly collided together, and then fought in the streets full of corpses, and rolled mightily! It was in the Battle of the Sona River that the Praetorian Guards led the team, and the last blow happened to stun Stanley Spencer's Hurkard, because of his seemingly reckless behavior, Stanley Spencer avoided an embarrassing retreat, otherwise, in that situation at that time, the only thing Stanley Spencer could do was to commit suicide to take responsibility for the loss of the 100,000 army,

In order to break up the resistance of Murphy's army as much as possible, Hulcard received an order to charge to the death, that is, unless the whole army died, he must not choose to retreat backwards, and could only rush forward in the queue in front of him.

But he was completely stunned by this sudden blow, no one expected that Murphy Boone would use such a street to launch a surprise attack, only to see an endless stream of Murphy dragon cavalry frantically rushing out of the fork in the road on both sides of the street, and the cold weapon in the hand of the Murphy cavalry was specially picked up at the angle of the weakest rib of the heavy armored cavalry, spear. Heavy swords, stormy on the chaotic flank of the Praetorian Cavalry!

Murphy Boone was worthy of being an experienced cavalry commander, and his line of troops plunged into the flank of the huge sector of the opposite cavalry cluster, and the greatest force was gathered at the point of impact, like a guillotine that was constantly squeezing forward, the first team rushed in, the second team pressed in, and the third team, the Praetorian heavy cavalry was actually interrupted from the middle, and the horses slammed together. Like a hurricane, invincible, ruined, thunderous ruthless cutting tactics,

No one, no order, no commander could stop it! The heavy cavalry of the Praetorian Guard cut the breakthrough in the middle into more than a dozen sections on the spot! All the people were struggling to see what was going on, and the chaos made it difficult for the various troops to convey orders among themselves, and the troops behind were crowded forward one by one. Pushing them forward, two streams of people in opposite directions collided, and the queue was chaotic, and the queue in front was a panicked shout "Forward." Let's get over!" and shouted "Go, go, kill Murphyo Boone!"

The chaos was like the ripples that the pebbles threw into the water, expanding round and round. "Kill!" Murphy Boone was at the very front of the shock array, and he took the lead. First of all, he jumped into the ranks of the heavy cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, and the heavy sword slashed violently, and the head rolled. Bright red blood spurted into the air from his headless chest, and Murphy Boone felt the wind hissing in his ears, and a mountain of swords and spears waving beside him!"Follow your lordship, kill!"

Seeing the commander so brave, the other Murphy cavalry swarmed in, they were all covered in purple heavy armor, like the god of vengeance emerging from the darkness, and the Murphy dragon cavalry cut into the middle of the enemy army, causing great panic among the Praetorian heavy cavalry. They wielded countless spears and swords, clanging against the chain mail of the Murphy Dragoons, on the steel masks and helmets, and on the sturdy cuirasses, and they fought to the death, but under the weight of the thunderous thunder of the Murphy Dragoons,

The Praetorian Guards gradually became unable to resist, could not stand on their feet, and retreated. One by one, they were pierced by heavy spears, chopped into dust by sabers, trampled into meat by horses' hooves, and more and more people and horses fell to the ground, first a few, then dozens, and then hundreds. "Advance, capture Murphy Oboone alive and make him a marquis! Behead him a viscount!" Under the high temptation, a large number of Praetorian infantry suddenly killed from the direction of the inner city,

In the main street, which was covered with the corpses of heavy cavalry on both sides, the fierce offensive of the Murphy dragon cavalry was like a big avalanche, and the Praetorian Guards broke up one after another!

It was a good thing for the enemy to flee, but the disadvantage of being tired after a long battle soon made Murphy Oone feel powerless, and the Murphy dragon cavalry was not iron-clad, breaking seven queues in a row, and finally killing the Praetorian heavy cavalry that rushed out, and the four thousand Murphy dragon cavalry also lost more than half,

And the heavy cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, which had been dispersed just now, quickly pounced like a long snake like a long snake and wanted to rely on the middle to cut off the tactics, and the attack turned into the worst chaotic battle, "Kill!" Murphy Oone fought hard in the chaotic battle,

"Shields, armor, weapons, and bodies, because the distance is too close, everything that can be hit by a qiē has become a powerful weapon to attack the other party, and the two sides collide together like two long walls of steel that collide at high speed, and after a burst of people flipping on their backs, the dominant side struggles to wave their weapons and smash any objects that block in front of them

"Bell" A sharp arrow cluster with a white line just like this, grazed from Murphy Oone's shoulder, bringing up a string of friction sparks, if it weren't for the dragon cavalry's general armor with double armor on the shoulder, this arrow could have cost Murphy Oone's half life, but it was enough to frighten Murphy Oone, who was a little hot-blooded, his face changed, "You can't fight like this!"

Murphy Oone's reason prevailed over flesh, the other party was completely recuperating, and he was tired from a long battle, and the other party had an absolute advantage in numbers, body, and morale, and strangled with such an enemy,

If you can't rely on surprise attacks to defeat the enemy in a short time, you will become a prey entangled by the enemy and be swallowed in one bite. "I'm really a little unwilling, and I ordered all the teams to withdraw to the east gate and assemble outside the city!" Murphy Boone reined in his horse violently, and ordered loudly with a hideous expression, "Tell the retreating troops in the streets of the city, and set fire to the houses along the way! Since I can't get it, then don't think about it from the Praetorian Guard!" The sound of the horn to convey the assembly turned into a short sound to convey the exit of the city, and the Murphy Army, who were rushing back from the streets, quickly lit the streets along the way, and the fiery red fire soon roared out of the houses on both sides of the street, and the Murphy cavalry with torches lit anything they saw that could be ignited, (to be continued......
