1825 The Death of a Famous General (6)
Under the gloomy sky, there was a vast emptiness and chaos, and the vigorous wind whistled between the two armies,
Danny's battle entered the tragedy of life and death at the beginning, the Gallic Northern Army was completely out of the way this time, from the general to the soldiers' hearts are very clear, this is the only chance to live, and if you can't break through the direction, you can only starve to death in Danny City, so the rapid momentum of its attack is also the only one seen in previous battles,
The fastest light cavalry marched forward bravely in the points of light that exploded like fireballs, like a wild beast that had been cornered, with a roaring fire ball above his head, and the heat wave brought by the explosion brought dust to his face, just like countless red flowers scattered on the vast land, where the heat wave rolled up, there were galloping war horses in the firelight and fell down with a scream, and some cavalry were thrown into the air like toys, and then smashed down heavily, and people and horses were lifted by the red rag and turned into minced meat scattered like raindrops, "Assault!"
Blood inspired the blood of the Gallic light cavalry, and the speed of the light cavalry was exerted to the extreme here, it was completely like a group of lights and shadows shaking, and when hundreds of fires exploded again, the light cavalry commander Atuagao had already rushed out of the explosion area,
He excitedly raised his hand and shouted behind him, "Raise the gun!" The dozen or so light cavalry who followed raised the bayonet in their hands with an extremely determined look, and there was a scattered queue at the moment when they rushed out of the sea of fire, magically like a river converged like a river, first dozens of people, then hundreds, hundreds, a light cavalry like a swift leopard rushed out of the explosion, some of their body chain mail was torn off in half, and some of the helmets on their heads were swept away by the heat wave. Some bodies swayed on galloping horses, and half of their bodies were stained red with blood.
But when they heard the sound of "raising their guns", all of them made a move without exception, they used all their strength to level the bayonet guns in their hands, and approached the commander who was moving at high speed with the battle flag fluttering in front of them, "Forward, for Gaul" The heaven and earth were filled with the shocking sound of the Gallic light cavalry, the hooves of the horses were flying, and the ground was thrown behind at high speed. The hussars hunched their waists. Like taut arrows, it flew forward, forward, half of the Gallic hussars were killed in the artillery fire, and half of the Gallic hussars rushed out of the blast zone.
400 meters ahead of them. It's the Falcon Army's defensive line. The first legion to take on the attack of the Gauls was the Southern Legion of the Southern Governor, Statúenko, who watched the Gallic hussars fighting to the death. The battle flag representing the Southern Legion was erected on the flank of the large army, and there was no emotion on the cold face, the battle of 100,000 against 100,000 was not uncommon in the history of the Falcon Empire, but it was not the first time that the Southern Legion led by Stoutenko entered such a frenzied battle at the beginning of the battle. He just felt that the Gallic light cavalry that braved the pouring down Thor's cannon fire to launch a frenzied charge exuded a tragic and heroic spirit that was not afraid of life and death, which made some people who looked down on the Gauls Statunko feel a sense of respect in his heart, "However, some things cannot be obtained by courage alone!" Statunko glanced at the corners of his mouth slightly, in front of him, the heavy guns were sharp, the steel shields were towering, and 30,000 southern heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding spears were like steel walls under the roaring station flag, and their expressions were as strict as eagle wings,
The entire Falcon Army Formation is divided by His Majesty the Falcon is like a huge diamond, among the four army formations, the Central Army of 40,000 people is in the center, accounting for two phalanxes, the 30,000 Southern Army of the Southern Governor Statunko is on the right side, and the 30,000 people of the Salon Army are on the right side, such an array, no matter which direction the Northern Army of Gaul chooses to break through, in addition to the first army formation to defeat the flank, will eventually meet the rear of the first phalanx, the Central Army personally led by His Majesty the Falcon who is in charge of the second phalanx, of course, if there is really such a situation, it means that the battle situation has reached an extremely tense moment,
And before that, "Shoot!", from the direction of the Central Army, it was like a dense flock of birds fluttering into the air, and the dense clusters of arrows flickering in the cold light were thrown out, covering the color of the sky, which was the powerful firepower of the crossbowmen from the rear of the Imperial Central Army of the first line of defense, and the 21,000 Imperial crossbowmen, dense as raindrops, threw a line of death in the air and fell towards the front end of the Gallic light cavalry, "pop pop" At that moment, like a huge wave crashing on the hard rock wall, the dense clouds formed by the arrow clusters unhindered and fiercely bombarded the Gaul assault cavalry group, the war horses with arrows "hissing" were neighing fiercely, and the huge body splashed with terrifying bright red,
"Puff puff" metal arrows pierced into the flesh of the light cavalry wearing only thin chain mail, making a terrible sound of the flesh being torn apart and the bones being pierced, such sounds came and went, the war horses rolled to the ground while running, rolling up smoke and dust, the Gallic light cavalry was full of arrows and fell from the horses, blood flowed down from the position of the head helmet, and the whole strong assault momentum was suddenly like a spearhead that was violently broken, tilted into the soil, but this soil was a human body bubbling out with blood,
Tens of thousands of light cavalry, less than two-thirds of the explosion area of Thor, under the dense rain of arrows, the queue of light cavalry from the gathering became thin again, a team of rolling, running at the front of the queue Viscount Atua, seven or eight arrow clusters were inserted all over the body, the arrow clusters stopped, the light cavalry behind him fell one after another, none of them survived, only he was like an immortal body bravely and fiercely kept forward, and two sharpshooters shot his body and head, until he rushed out of a distance of a hundred meters, Viscount Attua on horseback turned off the warhorse,
The war horse that lost its master turned its head, stretched out its tongue and licked its bloody master's hands, the corpse's feet were still hanging on the horse's back, and it was also driven to turn, and the falcon army on the opposite side was also solemnly moved, Viscount Atuaya tied his legs firmly to the stirrups, at least two arrow clusters pierced his chest and stomach, the arrow clusters on his head were spread out by the helmet, and the blood stained the saddle red from his trouser legs, at the beginning, he had no intention of dismounting alive, "Atuya!"
Algernonkatya's eyes were bloodshot as his fingers gripped the reins of his horse tightly, his body trembling slightly. In order to break the problem of the swamp, Atua, who attacked with a mortal heart, secretly found himself and expressed his willingness to use himself as bait to open the way for the army.
The hussars completed their difficult task, and for a while, they succeeded in attracting the Falcon Army's long-range suppression of the swamp terrain, and when the Falcon Army's Thor and arrow clusters burst madly in the hussars, the arrows pierced through the bodies of the lightly armored hussars. Behind the smoke and dust that Thor kicked up. With the Falcon Army unable to see clearly, the infantry cluster of the 100,000 Northern Army was rapidly crossing the kilometer swamp, and the sound in front stopped, and the infantry behind suddenly became nervous. The smoke cleared. In the distance, the corpses of horses and hussars were strewn all over the ground. The severed limbs and mutilates were thrown everywhere, but not a single one fled. In the direction in which they fell, their heads were facing forward, and several bloody war horses were hovering beside the corpse of their master,
The price of this strategy is that none of the 10,000 light cavalry survived, but such a price is worth it, the low morale of the northern army was stimulated at once, the tragedy of the light cavalry made the eyes of the infantry behind red, the soldiers endured the grief in their hearts and accelerated forward, their time was piled up with the corpses of the light cavalry, every second of their time, there were light cavalry sacrifices, bleeding, these guys knew that it was impossible to live, but they had to show Xiàn extremely easy before going into battle,
In front of them, the 30,000 Gallic light infantry, shouting that the whole army was assaulting, followed by the light cavalry, like a huge wave hitting the embankment, and the falconry on the opposite side collided with the falcon army on the opposite side, "Bang Bang" The shield of the light infantry collided with the dense spears in front of them, and the blood exploded between the two armies in an instant, "The Gauls are crazy!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, the governor of the South, Sttoonko, suddenly had a little foggy in his mind, in the face of the solid hoplites of the Southern Army, the Gallic light infantry who rushed up completely covered their chests with their shields, and then slammed into them with their bodies regardless of the qiē, "Advance, advance!" Ignoring the sharp infantry heavy spears that penetrated the bodies of their companions in front, blood mixed with bone slag splashed on their faces, the Gallic light infantry rushed up like crazy, and they were relying on brute force to shake the defensive line of the heavy infantry,
They are like a swarm of ants biting into a sugar cube, the dense Cheng dù makes even the front corpses unable to fall, completely indifferent to casualties, fearless of sacrifice, 30,000 light infantry is like superimposed on top of each other, dense, uncountable, just layer by layer on a certain point on the defense line, under this ultra-close push and collision, the unprepared Southern Army hoplites were actually pushed backwards, like a ship hull undulating left and right in a storm, the entire defense line rose and fell, and the corpses were piled up in front of the battle," Boom: A thunderclap, it seems to have been affected by the human anger, the sky has been gloomy for several days, boom after a continuous thunder, began to fall white raindrops, soon the light rain turned into heavy rain, turning the earth into mud, so that the surroundings seemed to be covered with a white veil "It's rain, it's raining!"
The soldiers of the Northern Army who passed through the swamp suddenly let out a burst of cheers, everyone thought that this was a sign of victory given by God, Algernonkatya held his head high, the cold rain hit his face, hit his armor, and turned into a cold flow down his neck, his hand holding the horsewhip was trembling slightly, but his eyes were shining with excitement, and the corners of his mouth were muttering in a low voice, this rain is really ...... Under such a torrential rain, the Falcon Army's Thor will greatly reduce its power, which is simply a reversal power for the breakthrough battle, "The whole army assaults!
Algernon Katya decisively bet on a qiē, if this is the grace of God, then the person who wastes this qiē is the sinner of the 100,000 Northern Army, the rain fell on the fat man's face at the same time, the emperor subconsciously touched his face, felt a little cold, and threw off the rain casually, his face began to be solemn, this rain is really a timely rain for the Gallic Northern Army that is trapped in the beast to the death! His black eyes looked a little different,
The heavy rain will bring unexpected changes to the battle situation, Thor's blocking of infantry clusters became negligible in the torrential rain, until finally even the sporadic explosions stopped, Thor, a big killer weapon against infantry clusters, withdrew from the battle ahead of schedule, and then Statunko's Southern Army will become an important attack point for the Northern Army of Gaul, and the heavy infantry of the Southern Army is good at defense, but in the absence of much support, it is only difficult to face the impact of several times the enemy. "Someone, order Saron to close from the flanks!"
The fat man adjusted the strategy of encirclement in advance, and quickly mobilized the left flank of the Salon Army to move closer from the flank to form a flank against the northern Gallic army that was storming the right flank.
After receiving the order, the Salon Army began to move, and the Northern Gallic Army also sent troops to intercept it, which was the Gallic Eighth Infantry Regiment and the Third Infantry Regiment specially arranged by Algernon Katya, a total of 27,000 elite troops.
The tide of the battle turned against the Falcon Army.
Sttoonko's Southern Army could get help, and at present, only the crossbowmen of the Imperial Central Army, where the Chinese army was located, were frantically shooting at the swarming Gallic Northern Army soldiers on the opposite side, but the melee of the Gallic army made it more and more difficult for the crossbowmen to aim at the target. The fierce fighting continues to heat up. Both sides did almost their best. Three hours later, the front of the Southern Army was already a sea of corpses and blood, and the heavy infantry in the front row was exhausted and replaced by successive troops. Almost all of them were disabled, and the people who insisted on it in front were desperately defending themselves under the fierce attack of the Gallic Northern Army, which was several times their own, with their tenacious will and strong combat power.
In the torrential rain full of mud and blood, the Imperial cavalry troops, as the last trump card of the Empire, began to charge, the sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded like rolling thunder in the rainstorm, and the 20,000 long-awaited Imperial cavalry cut in from the Gallic Northern Army in a state of exhaustion under the leadership of Hukochili,
The earth trembled violently at this moment, and the galloping cavalry forced into the side of the Gallic Northern Army like a black and oppressive iron wall, and the war knife in the hand of the "killing" Hukochili slammed into the head of a Gallic Northern Army soldier, and the yellow-white brains mixed with blood exploded out of the head, and behind Hukochili, hundreds of falcon cavalry rolled the killing knife light, and mercilessly cut off the heads of the Gallic soldiers who were blocking in front of them. Following the impact knife, thousands of falcon light cavalry followed, the war horse was like thunder, as unstoppable as an iron stream, countless iron hoof war knives were like a sharp knife, along a certain visible incision was cut by the brush, revealing the bright red flesh inside, "Forward, block them!" The Gallic Northern Army, which had already killed the red eyes, was unwilling to be overwhelmed by the momentum of the Falcon cavalry, insisted on standing in place and erected a gun array, and was immediately submerged by the torrent of flying snow and bright war knives. "My lord, the Falcon cavalry has been dispatched!" a cavalryman galloped in, "Got it, order the first regiment to attack as planned!" Algernonkatya nodded solemnly on his horse,
The cavalry unit of the Falcon Empire is the most terrifying type of army in this battle, and it is also the most terrifying trump card in the hands of the other party, not to mention that the other party is known for being good at cavalry assault The imperial military god, in Biye Valley, he has once learned the terrifying keen ability of this military god to grasp the fighter,
The cavalry is the biggest obstacle to this breakthrough, just as the light cavalry is ready to die to open the road, and another unit is also prepared to die to resist this trump card, that is, Algernon Katya personally accompanied the first corps of the Northern Army, with a total of 13,000 people, from the captain to the infantry commander, completely composed of the Imperial Guard, and the soldiers are also veterans with rich experience in the battle of the north, in order to deal with the assault of the Falcon Imperial cavalry, the first corps has already laid out a dense gun array on the flanks in advance, a four-meter-long special spear, with the order issued, the four-meter spear was held up by the soldiers with a stern expressionIn an instant, a forest of countless spears appeared in front of the Imperial cavalry led by Hukochili, and they had only one goal, to turn everything that they collided with into pieces
The speed of the Falcon Empire's cavalry cluster was so fast, many cavalry rushed to kill in the collapsed Gallic soldiers, and they didn't even see the situation in front of them clearly, and they crashed into it, "Kill!" The spear of the first division commander stabbed forward neatly, and the men and horses were pierced by the four-meter spear at the same time, and the blood exploded from the tip of the spear, and the war horse was covered in blood and pierced into the spear group of the first regiment of the Gallic first step regiment with inertia, and the cavalry on it was thrown out. Falling on the countless towering spears in front, blood fluttered like flowers, "In front is a gun array! Pay attention" The falcon cavalry behind was startled, their eyes were completely a towering spear in front of them, Hu Kochi fiercely reined in the war horse, and hesitated for a moment, there were too many enemies in front of him, although it was impossible to determine the thickness of the gun array, but from the firm eyes of these soldiers holding four-meter spears, it could be seen that they were definitely the elite of the northern Gallic army, facing the four-meter cavalry spear in the opponent's hand. It is very detrimental to this side to bump into it. "Raise the banner of death! Sue Sù Hukochili and Salon, in this battle, we must break the enemy's block!" The fat man stood at the height of the second defense line of the Central Army with a stern expression, looking at the situation of the cavalry cluster on the Gallic flank, his eyebrows frowned slightly, the battle situation has reached the most critical moment, the victory or defeat lies in whether the Gauls broke Statunko's Southern Army and successfully broke through at a heavy price, or Hukochili's Imperial cavalry broke through the Gallic flank and formed an encirclement with the Salonian Army that was close at the same time to form an encirclement of the 100,000 Gallic Northern Army," My lord, it is the decisive battle flag of the Chinese army!" A Falcon Imperial cavalry captain pointed to the flag fluttering in the air in the distance and shouted, the eleventh day of the Battle of Danny, the battle situation, because of this sudden rain, became confusing.
