1725 Imperial Tiger (2)
"Attention, there is an enemy approaching from the east!" A voice came from the direction of the watchtower, making everyone nervous at once, "Is the enemy coming back again?" George Wood frowned slightly, and hurriedly went straight to the watchtower, only to see a red fire point slanting down from the hill in the distance, pouring in the direction of the city, "boom" In the dark night, as the red point of light got closer and closer, a faint vibration sound came, like a muffled thunder rolling on the surface of the earth in the rainy season, George Wood's face froze slightly, and then showed a look of ecstasy, yes, it was the sound of horses' hooves, "It's not the enemy, it's our imperial cavalry!"
George Wood shouted, his face full of excitement. Although it has been determined that the falcon army under the city withdrew an hour ago, it is not ruled out that this is the possibility of the enemy's trap, in the previous siege battles, there are examples of pretending to evacuate and then taking advantage of the night to kill back, in the period before the sky is bright and the reinforcements arrive, the city may encounter a more ferocious counterattack from the enemy at any time, which is also the reason why he tried his best to stop his subordinates from pursuing, the defense force of the city is not enough, it is already a fluke to be able to block it once, if you want to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, you must concentrate every combat force that can be used。 "It's reinforcements, it's our reinforcements! we've been saved" The Gallic soldiers on the city wall cheered loudly and happily, and under the city, the entire cavalry stopped, and the sound of the neighing of war horses came in the wind, and then the torches below, you could see the blue storm sweeping in, which was actually the color of the black horse leather armor like a tide,
The head of the war horse has sharp iron horns, like the rumored holy beast unicorn, and the cavalry on it is a strong individual, wearing a cross-shaped metal helmet, and the top of the helmet is tied with two long blue streamers up to one meter long, fluttering with the wind when running, like a blue knight's flag, and under the dark blue robe is a metal flash of chain mail rings. In the night, there is a suffocating pressure, "Stop!"
At the front end of the blue cavalry cluster, a middle-aged general wearing a general's armor and a thick blue cloak with a proud look raised his hand high, and the blue cavalry behind him neatly stopped his horse's hooves, his movements were uniform, and he was obviously well-trained, "Bastard, is this evacuation?"
The middle-aged general's sharp eyes swept over the camp burned by the Northwest Corps when it was evacuated, and found it empty. There is no trace of fierce fighting, which proves that it was evacuated without obstacles, and the middle-aged general's face suddenly showed a touch of annoyance, he worked hard for most of the night, and galloped all the way with five thousand troops, but he didn't come to see this mess, and followed the Falcon army to eat ashes,
"What a damn" The middle-aged general ran around the empty camp a few times and turned around angrily. Raising his horsewhip, he shouted to one of the cavalrymen behind him, "Come, go and get the guard officer of Naser City." I want to ask him why he didn't hold back the Falcon Army! Such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death should be punished by military law!"
Soon, George Wood was brought to the middle-aged general by the cavalry attendants. His gaze lingered on the Praetorian Guard mark on the middle-aged general's chest for a moment, and he swallowed nervously a spittle, a cavalry cluster of blue robes and one-man accessories. Only the Blue Sacred Beast Cavalry of the Empire has,
This is one of the cavalry of the Imperial Kyoto Praetorian Guard, and it has always been composed of arrogant and arrogant Kyoto nobles. These soldiers from wealthy aristocratic families in Kyoto generally spend a lot of money to bring their own weapons and armor, naturally much better than other troops, strong combat power, well-armed and well-equipped, rarely participate in battles, many wealthy families in Kyoto regard this cavalry as a place where the children of the family are used to gild, in Gaul, every nobleman has the obligation to serve in the military, even if it is a prince, he needs to be a knight squire in the army for a year,
And it is said that the commander of the Blue Holy Beast Cavalry is a Marquis of Kyoto who is very respected by His Majesty the Emperor, in this case, George Wood had to say in a low voice, "Tell this lord, I am the guard officer of Nase, and the Nase defenders will remember the grace of the adult's rescue."
"Say your name and position, I suspect that you have not fulfilled your duty to fight! So that the enemy withdrew in time, destroying the entire strategic deployment! You can plead guilty!" The middle-aged general rode on a tall war horse, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he looked condescendingly at George Wood, who was covered in wounds, and his tone was extremely contemptuous, and he didn't take George Wood in his eyes at all,
As soon as George Wood spoke, the middle-aged general knew that the garrison officer of the place in front of him was not from Kyoto, and he had no scruples in his heart.
He had noticed just now that the Falcon Army outside the city had disappeared, and if he wanted to get merit, he could only find a way to find it from this Nase garrison officer, who dragged the 30,000 Falcon Army, which had always been strong in battle, with thousands of people, if he could find a way to swallow this merit alone, he had to change it to lead the army to help Nase, and the Falcon Army fled in terror.
In that case, the focus of the merit in the report is yourself
"What do you mean by this, my lord? My 16th Garrison Regiment desperately defended the city of Nase, and fought fiercely with 30,000 falcons for a day, with more than half of the casualties, and now there are less than 3,000 soldiers in the city, and there are not even 2,000 who can fight" George Wood looked stunned, he didn't expect this, he didn't know that the middle-aged general wanted to eat his credit, his face was red with grievances, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hurriedly explained in a hurried tone. In the face of the onslaught of the Falcon Army, it is not easy to hold on, the whole army is exhausted, blood is dried, and there is still the strength to prevent the Falcon Army from withdrawing several times over......"
"Enough, I'm not interested in your explanation, since you said that you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, then let me ask you, where did the falcon army under Nase City go!" The middle-aged general waved his horsewhip impatiently, since he wanted to swallow it, he naturally would not let George Wood continue, this matter must be confirmed, and this guard officer must be taken away before other troops arrive, the middle-aged general has already made up his mind, first detain this guard officer, as for the remaining soldiers in the city, they can also be arrested on the charge of greed and fear of death,
"This. It should be the same way to return, they are from the upstream, if they go back, it must be in the upstream direction......" George Wood looked embarrassed, it was dark and the wind was high, and the Falcon Army's retreat was very fast, just like when he came, there was no way to judge at all
"Hehe, upstream direction. Is it possible to use the word ifs for this kind of thing? Obviously, it is you who colluded with the Falcon Army inside and outside, and when you learned what our army was doing, you hurriedly let the remnants of the enemy calmly retreat from the encirclement, and now you still want to mislead the friendly troops? I have reason to believe that you are a spy of the Falcon Army, and from now on, all your positions will be cancelled, and I will imprison you until the military judge finds out!" The middle-aged general was a little proud, and his face was not good, and he waved his hand to the cavalry behind him. Arrest this Falcon spying and send him to the Imperial Judge Advocate General's Office immediately."
The middle-aged general's family has a very good foundation in the Imperial Judge Advocate General's Office, as long as a small local garrison officer like George Wood is thrown into the Judge Advocate General's Office, with the torture of the Military Justice Department, the middle-aged general is absolutely sure that George Wood will obediently say that all the merits are his own!"The spy of the Falcon Army! Bastard, you want to swallow the merits......" George Wood's face changed completely, and he raised his head in shock, he vaguely guessed something. Looking at the middle-aged general in disbelief, "I just swallowed your exploits, what's wrong! I don't want to think about it, how can it be possible to resist the elite of the 30,000 Falcon Army for a day and a night with thousands of remnants of the army, and force the Falcon Army to retreat! I will take down this spy!"
The middle-aged general is not at all afraid that his thoughts will be seen through. This is all his henchmen, and no one will say anything about tonight, he smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and raised his hand. The nearby cavalry swarmed up and grabbed the wounded George Wood like a wolf, and pressed his limbs to the ground. , a cloth towel with mud and dirt on a war horse and war horse in his mouth, George Wood, who was gagged, could only whine and shout there, and finally was knocked unconscious to death with a horsewhip handle, "Send a team to escort this spy to the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the others will follow me into the city! This coward must also be held accountable!" The middle-aged general's eyes flashed and retracted from George Wood, who had fainted to death, and he didn't care so much about this little person who was destined to become a stepping stone to his brilliant achievements,
He turned to the ruined city in front of him, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart
Hasenranpo just blocked the Falcon Army's advance, but he was a scared Falcon Army, compared to the two, he was much more powerful than Hasenranbo! The middle-aged general was calculating in his heart that his reputation in the military world would inevitably rise sharply because of this, and it was even possible to surpass the current number one general of the empire, Hasenranbo, a small nobleman like Hasenranbo, who was not qualified to lead an imperial army of 400,000, if he surpassed him, coupled with his background in a wealthy family in Kyoto, the authority of this 400,000 army was not as simple as being captured
The blue cavalry entered Nase and quickly took control of the whole city, which was not large, with a population of only more than 30,000 people, but because of its focus on the eastern front, the inhabitants of the city were moved to the hinterland of Gaul, and the empty city was soon broken by the sound of the hooves of the blue cavalry
The Blue Cavalry under the name of George Wood. An order was given to assemble the whole army and move the defense, and all the soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment were deceived into the central square of the city
The blazing fire of the brazier on the square shone on the faces of every soldier of the 16th Garrison Regiment, the atmosphere here made the soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment begin to feel uneasy, they came to the square and were asked to hand over their weapons, no one would doubt their own people, so most of the soldiers calmly handed over their weapons, but when they really came in, they felt that something was wrong, surrounded by thousands of murderous cavalrymen wearing blue robes, the cross helmets of these blue cavalry flashed with a hideous ominous aura under the light of the fire,
The soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment looked for George Wood, the commander of the garrison, but there was no trace of George Wood, "Where is Lord George Wood?" The soldiers shouted loudly and loudly with their inner turmoil
"Ahem!
A dry cough attracted everyone's attention, and the middle-aged general, escorted by several attendant cavalry in blue battle robes, slowly walked into the platform in the center of the city square, and his eyes stopped on the soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment who were full of wounded soldiers below, and the middle-aged general's eyebrows frowned slightly, "A group of untouchables!
There were too many wounded soldiers, some soldiers were wrapped in large pieces of white gauze, like zongzi, stained with blood, a soldier with a broken leg made a wail there because he had no painkillers, and the heavy smell of blood made the middle-aged general feel very unhappy, "Let's start!"
Holding back the impatience in his heart, he waved his hand
An emaciated legion clerk stepped forward, and under the bewildered gaze of everyone, the clerk raised his chin, proudly spread out the improvised content in his hand, and read aloud, "George Wood, the commander of the sixteenth garrison of the place." As an imperial soldier, when he was loyal and brave to the country and fought hard to kill the enemy, at this critical moment when the empire was in turmoil and the war situation, he colluded with foreign enemies, allowing the remnants of the enemy to easily escape from the encirclement of the imperial army, destroying the entire strategic deployment of the empire, and had touched the bottom line of military discipline and was sent to the military justice department for strict handling. As for the others, of course, we believe that most of the soldiers are warriors of the Empire, and there is reason to believe it, but since George Wood is a spy, there must be enemy spies among you, so from now on, everyone must be examined, and it has not been found out for a day. If anyone does not cooperate, it must be an enemy spy and must be executed immediately!"
"What! censor us!"
"Bastard, Lord George Wood. We want to see Lord George Wood! You deceive us!" Hearing the clerk's order, the soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment below were completely fried, and they rushed to the platform where the clerk was located, and the clerk's face turned pale with fright. Dropping the text in his hand, he wanted to run, but was caught by a soldier and pressed the ground hard to beat the "guards." Clean up the square! This is a riot and must be suppressed immediately!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of the middle-aged general's mouth, what he needed was such an effect, the blue cavalry around him began to press over from four directions, the cavalry spears were erected in a row, the horse's hooves were flying, and the blue streamers on the cavalry's head were fluttering in the wind, and the neat queue was like four sharp gun walls, slowly advancing from the outside to the inside, "Ah"
The chaotic soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment also reacted at this moment and rushed outward one after another, but they were squeezed by the wall of guns and retreated again and again, blood was splashed, and the powerful cavalry force made the people of the 16th Garrison Regiment. In the end, it can only be confined back to back in a small circle,
Their weapons have long been confiscated, and they are completely fighting with flesh and blood, and soldiers are constantly being stabbed by spears and falling, and horses' hooves are ruthlessly stepping on the corpses, because of the limited space, a corpse is stacked on top of a corpse, and it quickly accumulates more than a meter high,
Blood gathered from where the corpses had been piled up into small red streams, flowing out of the square more than thirty meters away, "You brutes!!"
A soldier of the sixteenth garrison let out a terrible shout, seven or eight cavalry spears pierced his body, erecting his whole body, blood floating in the air, this soldier's body was very strong, even so, he was still struggling to pull out the spear that pierced his body, but it was in vain, his moans quickly disappeared
Twenty minutes later, the blue cavalry began to disperse from the meeting place in an orderly manner, and in front of them, there was no longer a single soldier of the 16th Garrison Regiment still standing, and the corpses were all over the ground, which was unbearable to witness
Two hours later, the Gallic army that gathered towards Nase, saw the burning city of Nase, and the black smoke almost covered the entire canopy, "What about the falcons outside Nase" Hasenlimpo asked with an unkind face, "have been evacuated!"
The middle-aged general's expression was inexplicably sad and indignant, full of sadness and hatred for the annihilation of the Nase defenders, and he knelt on one knee in front of Hasenribo, the head of the Rasti region who came in a hurry, and said sadly, "The subordinates are incompetent, and when they arrived, the brutal Falcon Army had already attacked the city at night and slaughtered the entire Nase defenders!"
Our army struggled to attack, killing more than 3,000 Falcon Army in one fell swoop, and the rest of the remnants scattered and fled along the upstream of the river, because the brigade did not arrive, and the subordinates did not dare to pursue without authorization, and the city of Nase was the center of gravity of the battle, and the subordinates were worried that the Falcon Army would kill again, and the gains would outweigh the losses, so the subordinates could only stay here temporarily in case of accidents!" "The enemy is too brutal, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Commander-in-Chief Tielan and the defeat of the Falcon Army with a majestic posture, this military town would have changed hands!" That's a disaster for the whole battle!" The clerk also wiped his sweat beside him, and said with a worried expression, "What! The defenders of Nase are all ......"
When Hasenlambo heard that the whole army had been slaughtered, he was immediately shocked and rode on his horse. His face was pale, his fingers were clenched together and he made a creaking sound, although it was not a heavy army, but the 16th Garrison Regiment was also 8,000 people, and it was wiped out by the Falcon Army in a battle!
The Falcon Army's combat strength is so strong that Hasenlampo once again feels palpitations, this time the Falcon Army that broke through to the Eastern Front is only 30,000 people, if it is really as Tielan said, then tonight, the Falcon Army that has experienced siege battles and was defeated by Tielan is the best moment to devour it, "Blood debt and blood repayment, these Falcon Army deserve to die! Immediately assemble troops, pursue along the upper reaches of the river, and be sure to surround and kill them before they escape back to the Falcon Army's defense line!"
Hasenranbo made up his mind, raised his horsewhip, and gave an order with a hideous face, the army turned to the direction of the river, spears were like snow, war horses neighed, eight local garrison regiments, plus the fifteen thousand elites of the sixth legion brought by Hasenranpo himself, plus the five thousand people of Tielan's blue holy beast cavalry, the total strength reached 100,000,
The power of its advance is very amazing, the battle flag sweeps through the long night void, dense like a tide flooding the river, and on the flank of the Eastern Front, although the 70,000 men of the 15th Army were defeated by the battleship advance tactics in the river, but after a new assembly, there are still 40,000 troops, invisibly, an excellent fighter plane that encircles the Falcon Army on both sides has been presented in front of Hasenlimpo! (To be continued......
