1958
The 20,000 falcons drove to the Tek Lake area overnight, the queue marched hard in this mud, and when the sky was bright the next day, the sleepy Reposti finally saw the vast lake in front of him, Tek Lake, the large and small lakes are innumerable, as the largest impact swamp in the central and southern part of the Congo Empire, the area of Tek Lake is more than 50 miles "This is the Great Lakes area?"
Reposti stopped his horse violently, his eyes sweeping across the Great Lakes with deep apprehension
A herald horseman, covered in mud and water, stopped his horse in front of Reposti, saluted him, and said, "Lord Jarrins has asked me to inquire if I want to continue forward or to rest for a while? The soldiers are so tired that they have marched all night in the mud, so it would be better to rest if they can" "Do you want to rest?"
Reposti's gaze paused on the soldiers' sleepy figures, and then looked into the distance behind him,
A black line was stopping there, it was a Gangfei assault cavalry wearing light armor and as fast as the wind, the number was about five hundred, in the second half of the night, it hung the retreating Falcon Army's rear troops, and fought with the cavalry of the Falcon Army's rear army several times, although hundreds of people were shot by the Falcon Cavalry, they still relied on their speed to follow all the way to the Great Lakes region, these Gangfei assault cavalry were like vultures in the sky waiting for the Falcon Army to withdraw from the Bion River into the Lake District, behind this Gangfei cavalry, Reposti seemed to be able to see the large army of 100,000 people driving over the mountains, discarding most of the heavy weapons of the Falcon Army's troops, in the flat lake area, it does not have the ability to block the encirclement of the large army,
"Sue Sù Aglins, the inhuman pursuers are behind us!
Reposti turned around and waved his hand to the herald with a grim expression, the rain had already soaked everyone's armor and clothes, but fortunately it was already May, and it was not cold in terms of temperature. Reposti is ready to go deep into the Great Lakes region, either to drag the enemy down, or to drag himself down, starting from the withdrawal of the whole army to the Great Lakes region, most of the direction of the war depends on luck, but one thing is certain, the treatment of the 100,000 coalition troops in this lake area will not be much better than his own, if you want to eat yourself happily, the price of the inhuman will not be small!" "Yes, understood!" The herald cavalry nodded solemnly. Riding away,
The team of 20,000 falcons continued to move forward, and the fog rising from the wetlands was like a fairyland, and the lush forests shrouded the edge of the lake, gradually submerging the shadow of the falcons.
A few hundred meters away in the rear, the commander of the Gangfei assault cavalry, the squadron leader of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Praetorian Guards, Cavon Blu. Guozi face, looking at the Falcon army gradually moving away with bright eyes, playing with the golden pendant horsewhip in his hand, his face looked a little hesitant. The Falcon Army really stepped into the Great Lakes without any obstacles,
If you don't understand the situation and chase after it, it is easy to be counterattacked by the Falcon cavalry again, in the muddy Great Lakes region. The high mobility advantage of the cavalry was almost gone, and it was the world of orthodox infantry combat, which now only had to wait for the infantry clusters in the rear to arrive. You can surround the Falcon Army inside, "The whole team is divided into four squads, each team is 100 meters apart, follow up the search in a fan-shaped queue, and immediately send someone to report to the rear army that the Falcon Army has entered the Great Lakes region!"
Cavon Blu raised his hand, gave an order with a gloomy face, and gave up the plan to follow up the whole team, the Great Lakes in front of him gave him a strong sense of danger, I don't know why, he always felt that the Falcon Army's withdrawal to the Great Lakes region revealed an indescribable weirdness, divided into teams to search and follow, whether it was encountering or escaping. "Is it really as the generals say, this is a stupid evacuation made by the falcons who are not familiar with the terrain?" Cavon Blu rode forward with a small team, his eyes constantly swept the foggy Great Lakes in front of him, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as a brave Emperor Guard, he was not afraid of the head-to-head confrontation of the Falcon cavalry, but the assault crossbow in the hands of the opposing cavalry was a headache, and they encountered the assault crossbow when they fought with the Falcon cavalry last night. It's just a massacre, it's one thing to be numerically inferior, it's really the assault crossbows of the Falcon cavalry that have the upper hand,
In the same number, the assault crossbow of the falcon cavalry will shoot at a distance of fifty meters, and before they have yet to fight, the opponent's assault crossbow will shoot over like a storm, for the assault cavalry with only light leather armor, the assault crossbow that can be operated with one hand is simply the scythe of death,
Cavon Blu saw with his own eyes that hundreds of his subordinates were shot over without having time to react in the dark night, but fortunately, the speed of the assault cavalry was faster than that of the Falcon Cavalry, so he evacuated the confrontation in a panic "Even if the crossbow shooting of the Falcon Army is very strong, but on such a flat terrain, once it is at a disadvantage of being surrounded, the effectiveness it can play will be greatly reduced!" The corner of Cavon Blu's mouth smiled bitterly, feeling that he had thought too much, this is a problem that generals need to consider, it is meaningless for a small squadron leader to think about this, he just needs to confirm that the other party has entered the Great Lakes region, but the cavalry in front of him reported that he was lost, the fog was too big, and he couldn't see it clearly at a distance of more than 100 meters, "That's it, at least confirm the direction of the other party's withdrawal!"
Cavon Blue raised his hand and ordered his subordinates to abandon the search, even if it was a humid environment, after the middle and afternoon, the fog would be blown away by the breeze on the lake, and at that time, the whereabouts of the 20,000 Falcon troops who entered the Great Lakes would be completely exposed to the eyes of the 100,000 Falcon Swarms on their side, and that would be the end of the 20,000 Falcon Army
The 20,000 Falcon Army continued to enter the Great Lakes region for ten miles. On the shore of a lake, Reposti ordered the army to stop and rest after confirming that the Gangfei cavalry that was following behind him had finally been thrown off, and by this time, the rain had stopped, the sky was gray, and the Falcon Army, which had been marching all night, began to cook, and white cooking smoke mixed with mist rose on the lakeside.
The shore of the lake is spread out of the lake grass, the lake water is like a large piece of bright green jade, horizontal like the realm, brilliant and heavy resting in this vast and boundless plain area, the lake surface is stirred with layers of mist, like a fairyland, the dense trees make a roaring sound of lake water slapping next to the lakeside, pure makes people feel palpitations,
Leaning against the trunk of a tree, Reposti ordered a map of the Lake District, though using the fog to escape the inhuman eye. But the real test is just beginning, according to the distance and time, the 100,000 Gangfei coalition troops who are following behind him should also be at the edge of the Great Lakes at this time, and at this time the sky has already brightened, a Falcon soldier fetches water from the lake next to him, such a pure lake makes the soldier involuntarily step into the water, take a few more steps forward, a faint commotion makes the soldier stop and raise his head,
I saw a slender battleship appear on the lake in front of me. The sharp bow wrapped in metal broke open the lake in front of it, like a terrible lake monster rushing out of the fog "This is!" The soldier's body trembled with fright, his eyes almost burst out, and the splash of water squeezed from the surface of the lake was loaded on his calf, and the sound of "whoosh" neatly came, and countless neatly rowed oars brought up the splash, and the lake surface seemed to be turned over, and the people who were resting on the lakeside were the first to stand up, looking at the Imperial Dragon's Tooth-class battleship that emerged from the fog in amazement. Then all the soldiers stood up, and one by one huge figures were revealed, "It's the Dragon's Tooth Battleship of the Imperial Navy!"
Reposti's eyes flickered, and the map in his hand slipped from his fingers to the ground. Another one, like a sudden nightmare, like seeing the light in the dark and desperate night, behind these dragon's tooth warships. There were even large transports of large size, the number of which almost filled the lake in front of them, as the baffles opened. Groups of soldiers came down from above, and a large number of various equipment were hoisted down from the transport ship with wheelwheels, heavy ballistas like wings, and naval thunder gods with long curved muzzles......
The lakeside was already full of people, and the newly arrived troops were forming a formation, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in the fog, until a familiar figure of Reposti approached from the opposite side, surrounded by several imperial generals, that Reposti came to his senses
"Why? Look stupid!"
Varisien's laugh was hearty and powerful, and he came up to Reposti and patted him on the shoulder. But as soon as I received the order from His Majesty, I immediately transferred all the troops on the Putao side, a full 30,000 local army and 10,000 central army, although the local army was a little worse, but it was also trained for two months, and it was already fully equipped, to be honest, I didn't expect the Admiralty to be able to mobilize such a large transport fleet, and it was able to go straight to the Gangfei Inner Lake, with the help of these fully loaded transport ships, I could really bring enough anything, and it originally took more than three days to travel, but it only took more than a day."
"Lord Varisien, what do you mean?" Reposti trembled inwardly, he had just secretly counted the number of transport ships, at least more than hundred,
"It's nothing, it's just that with His Majesty's license, I went to the Admiralty and looted their inventory of three hundred heavy ballistas, 150 Thor, and the Admiralty gunners who were reorganized and equipped with Thor, you didn't see the appearance of the Admiralty Dustrunkai, it's just wonderful!"
"Three hundred heavy ballistas, one hundred and fifty Thor......"
Reposti was already gasping, and the corners of his eyes twitched in an orderly manner, this is the rhythm of beating all the people into slag,
He didn't expect the Empire's reinforcements to appear at this time, let alone that it would be of such a scale, with three hundred heavy ballistas and 150 Thor. That is already beyond the level of the legion, 30,000 local troops plus 10,000 central army, plus the existing 20,000 central army, that is, a legion of the empire, and now even the teeth are polished, and the Gangnon coalition army behind must have discarded all the heavy weapons such as catapults in order to pursue, and now it is not crazy to hit the 60,000 army of the falcon army with iron and steel teeth!
"Lord Varisian, all the unloading has been completed! According to the plan, the fleet cannot be exposed for the time being!"
The commander of a naval detachment came over and reported to Varisien, who was foaming at the mouth, that the commander of the detachment was not a good bird at first glance, and that Reposti knew Joseph, the most murderous of the commanders of the Falcon Empire naval fleet, and he was really a fellow with the same smell as Varisian
"Well, I know, I'm very grateful for the help of the Navy! Regarding the river in this battle, please take care of the Admiralty more!" Varisian said with an excited face
"Of course, this is not a problem! Lord Dustrengke has a special explanation, Lord Varision's order is the order of the Admiralty!" Joseph laughed, and walked up to a dragon's tooth warship docked nearby, surrounded by several naval captains, and the transports staggered and turned, stirring up ripples on the surface of the lake, in the mist. Quickly disappeared under the escort of naval warships
"Lord Varisian, what do you mean by the river?"
"It's the river you're holding!" Varisian smiled at the corner of his mouth, pointing to the north of the Great Lakes region, and sneered, "This time you have made a great contribution, dragging the main force of the Gangfei people and coalition forces into the Great Lakes region in one fell swoop. When we hold back the Congo-Africa coalition forces in the Great Lakes region, the navy will completely cut off the logistical supply of the Gangfei people from the direction of the river, and in the absence of heavy catapults, the Gangfei people will only be able to stare at the naval warships, and 100,000 coalition troops will be trapped here, either surrender or starve to death!"
The fog began to dissipate after noon, and a rare round of misty sun appeared in the sky.
The white light shines between heaven and earth. It was rumored that this was a harbinger of a great murderer, and on the edge of the Great Lakes, the Janissaries and coalition forces arrived at the same time. The scout cavalry in front reported that the traces of the Falcon Army had been found on the shore of the arc-shaped lake about ten miles in the Great Lakes region, and the coalition forces surrounded the arc-shaped lake from all sides, and the dense various legions set up camp one after another.
Flat lakeside marshland. As far as the eye can see,
"This is the Falcon Army's mountain formation!"
The little emperor rode a reddish-brown bantam horse and wore special armor with the royal coat of arms of the Gangfei family. The big blue eyes looked ahead, although I saw the Falcon Army on various reports, and I also saw the Falcon Army on the opposite side when I was holding it at the bridge, but it was the first time that I really saw the Falcon Army's infantry formation on the Megatron Continent so intuitively,
The little emperor's heart was a little uneasy, and the hand holding the reins was tight and pale, after all, this was the first time he had been in the battle array, the emperor who had been in the battle array since he was seven years old, he had broken the record of a certain ancestor coming to the battle array at the age of twelve, the little emperor puffed out his cheeks, trying to make himself look not afraid,
In front, the Falcon Army lined up two rampant military formations with their backs to the lake, the metal shield was like a wall, and a spear with a sharp handle stretched out from the gap between the shields, and the heavy infantry of the Falcon Empire behind the shield was like a fierce beast that had been cornered, full of scars and proud of everyone there, fighting to the death with their backs to the lake, it seemed to be the final outcome of the lone Falcon Army in front of them, "woo" The loud and long battle horn of the military formation, there was a sadness in the sky above the two armies, blocked by the line of sight, and the Gangfei side did not find that behind the Falcon formation, the Thor and the heavy ballista were lined up, and the number of soldiers was also different
A general of the general corps was introducing him to the military flag of the Falcon Army in front of him, "Your Majesty, the Phnom Penh military flag with winged falcons is the main flag of the Falcon Army, the silver-edged is the squadron flag of the opponent, and the flag of the Central Army of the Falcon Empire is double Phnom Penh." They were the ones we encountered in the river before......"
The little emperor opened his mouth and watched the Falcon Army in front of him unabashedly display all their strength. Looking at the left and right sides like the wings of a giant bird, looking at the eagle flag fluttering in the wind, the little emperor suddenly felt a sudden palpitation, the upcoming battle made him both excited and afraid, if this time the 20,000 lone army of the Falcon Empire was completely annihilated, not only could he reverse the unfavorable situation with a word, but also would make his name spread to Obarro, in order to strengthen his courage, he said loudly" You said that the heavy crossbow of the Falcon Army can shoot through the bodies of three Imperial warriors in one go, so are the Imperial warriors no longer afraid to face the Falcon Army?"
The general of the general regiment was stunned for a moment, and his face changed, "No, of course not!"
"Then let's start, let me see if the courage of the Gangfei warriors has been exhausted, 100,000 people fighting 20,000 people, do you still need to think about it so much?" The little emperor raised the horse whip in his hand, and his immature tone carried a king's domineering spirit in his immature tone, "Attack on all fronts!"
"Your Majesty's order, attack on all fronts!" the herald commanded the cavalry from the rear and shouted all the way, the horses' hooves trampling on the mud of the swamp, and the muddy water flew wildly. As soon as the morale of the non-Praetorian Guards began to move forward, the soldiers clenched their spears tightly, and their breathing became fierce. He lowered his spear and began to slowly move forward. It's like a boulder crushing a qiē,
"Advance on all fronts!"
In the eyes of the coalition forces, the Falcon Army on the opposite side should have long been sleepy and vulnerable, and at this time they did not rush up to pick up the bargain, and when the troops of other countries rushed up first, there would be no chicken feathers at all, and the imposing battle horns rose one after another on the side of the coalition forces, and the entire front was like a collapsed embankment, like a snow-rolling landslide. The Coalition infantry raised their bayonet spears and spears in unison, charging towards the Falcon array
"Boom!" a sound like a huge muffled thunder suddenly remembered, and the red fire and violent explosion lit up the eyes of the coalition generals at this moment,
The scorching white light tore through everyone's retina, and the front end of the countless fireballs of the coalition shock force exploded violently.
The queue of coalition troops swarming out was densely packed together,
In the area of the fire, whether it was the strong defense and the undefeated heavy battle, or the archers in thin armor, they all disappeared from the ground one by one, revealing a blood-stained swamp.
The coalition forces were blown up to a height of more than ten meters and then smashed down fiercely, smashing their companions into a bloody mess.
The coalition general who led the charge didn't know what he was encountering or what was in front of him, and he was directly hit by the Thor bullet that fell like a torrential rain overhead, and he was instantly shattered.
"Thunder...... Thor!" The little emperor was directly frightened and dropped off the war horse, and he didn't know where to throw the whip in his hand! He couldn't figure it out, and the coalition generals simply blew up the pot, and everyone was stunned, Thor! How could the Falcon Army have a Thor? The coalition generals had the feeling of hitting their heads against the iron wall! If they knew that the Falcon Army had Thor, who would dare to make waves so arrogantly! (To be continued......
