South of Rayla
Yagrin looked solemnly at the large area of river valleys surrounded by mountains in front of him, and beside him, General Rayla Boazo raised his horsewhip and pointed to the north of the river in front of him, and said, "That is the natural defense line to the Perez region in the south, the Mars River, a branch of the largest river in the south, Feren,
To the south of this place is the vast Perez Plain, and there are two lines of defense in the south of my Rayla, one is the collapsed sideline.
It is precisely because of the knowledge that the sideline is almost impossible to defend, so the real line of defense is actually the second line of defense in the south with the front Perez Fortress as the core.
Originally, there were 30,000 elite troops stationed here all year round, and there was a strong and majestic Peres fortress behind it.
After receiving a warning from the sideline, it is enough to deal with twice as many enemy raids"
Boazo's voice paused, and his eyes stared at the land in the distance with complicated eyes, "But this time, I'm afraid it won't work, there are too many Huns, and the side line is no longer a warning, but a direct collapse! The seemingly stable border has been crossed, and most of the border troops who have high hopes from the people have been annihilated or ordered to retreat, and countless compatriots have become captives of the Huns at this moment, which is the sin of my Rayla soldiers."
Boazo is worthy of being one of the generals of Ruilan's town to defend the south, and he is very familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain along the way, and seems to feel that the Falcon Army in front of him has been relied on by the entire south, and he has also begun to seriously introduce the terrain along the way to Yagrin, only to hear him say, "Strategically speaking, it is not wrong for the kingdom to demand a complete abandonment of the first line of defense that has no conditions to hold on." But this order was too sudden, the south was not prepared at all, and most of them did not think that the war would start here, so many people kept a sense of luck, and were still hesitating whether to endure the pain, and the 200,000 eastern army of the Hungarians entered like a bamboo, and finally the entire south fell by half in just a few days."
Boasso's face was cold, and the hand holding the horsewhip made a creaking sound, and there was a chill in his tone, "And according to intelligence, the main force of the Hungarian Eastern Army is gathering 200,000 troops. There is a tendency to continue to advance north, the two legions of the Silas side arrived yesterday at the city of Fech, which is less than fifty miles away from here, these Silas are also the most cruel people to our Hellas, although the Hungarians are brutal, but most of them are pillaged as prisoners, while the Silas are different, the Silas who fell into their hands are almost no survivors, and the Hungarians are even more hateful compared to these Silas!"
Yagrin looked at Boazo with an agitated expression. I couldn't help but think of the towns I saw along the way when I retreated, the town militia who were poorly equipped but confused on the road, and the officer who insisted on staying, at this moment. Under the sweep of 200,000 Hungarian troops, I'm afraid it's no longer there,
This time, although the empire gathered 60,000 troops on Perez's side, according to his old partner Reposti. This battle was the least optimistic battle of his life, the Hungarian army numbered nearly 500,000, and the Empire's troops entering the south of Ryla were only 50,000 or 60,000. Once the Hungarian army is fully prepared to arrive at the fortress city, the other party can also use the corpses to pile up the fortress, not to mention that after the Hungarians swept the south of Rila, they drove hundreds of thousands of Rila like slaves, and when the time comes, the Rella army guarding the Peres Fortress will have no intention of fighting, "The victory or defeat of this battle is not whether Perez can hold it, but whether the Hun army can find fighters to severely damage its sharpness before the Hun army arrives at Perez Fortress, and consume as much of the strength of the Huns as possible before the main force of the Huns arrives at Perez!" Remposdi's words touched Jagrin a lot, this battle is related to the life and death of Rayla, and it also has a great impact on the empire, so Riganti, who is good at planning, does not have any prejudice and selfishness in making plans! The people of Ryla also felt this,
General Boazo, as the highest-ranking general of Rayla stationed in the south, expressed his willingness to personally lead the Rayla army in the fortress to set up a blocking line on the way of the main Hungarian army, and the location was the Mars River in front of him.
Although the casualties of the Rayla army are far greater than those of the Hungarian army, they can fight against several times the cavalry with an inferior number of infantry, and it is already commendable to be able to be crushed at the beginning.
Although it is an extremely cruel thing to let these Rayla people build a defense line here to block and consume the Huns, but war is a place where everything can be done, and Yagrins, who has experienced many major wars, does not think it is wrong to do so, if it is to survive to block the main force of the Hun army here, then if the main force of the Hun army is pressed under the fortress, it will be death!
"How long will Your Excellency lead the 30,000 Rila army to defend this place, and how long will you be able to contain the main force of the Huns," Jaglins asked with a twinkle in his eyes
Boazo was silent for a while, and said with a firm expression, "I am a soldier, in the case of the country's broken mountains and rivers and the slaughter of compatriots, there is no fear of death in the dictionary of the Ryla soldiers, I believe that the same is true of other Ryla soldiers, one of the things I regret the most is that after knowing that the despicable Silas betrayed us, I did not lead the army into Silas as as soon as possible, even if I can't cut off the head of the king of Silas, at least kill some more Silas people, and it can be delayed for a while!" Instead of being like this, sitting and watching my compatriots being killed and doing nothing, completely in a situation of being beaten passively, hey, forget it, don't talk about this"
Boazo shook his head with some annoyance on his face, his eyes swept forward, and said, "This river is fifty meters wide, and all the bridges on the river have been destroyed, although the Hungarian cavalry is powerful, they do not dare to wade on such a wide water surface, and there will be a rainstorm soon, if the main force of the Hungarians really takes this road, unless there is a pontoon bridge built by the Silas army, it can be dragged out for at least four or five days, "But please tell me, there are three roads from the border to Perez, how do you judge that the main force of the Hungarians and the Silas army will definitely take this road?" What to do if you make a mistake. Although this is the land of my Rayla, and before the last Rayla boy dies, there is no need for the blood of friendly troops to be splashed on this land, but if the route is misjudged from the beginning, wouldn't my Rayla's 30,000 elites be nailed to this line in vain! I think that once we meet, no matter whether the other party is the main force or not, our army has no possibility of retreating!" "The route should not be wrong!"
Yagrin looked stern, looked into the distance with deep eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in a condensed voice, "The main force of the Huns is numerous. There are also a large number of supplies and baggage and prisoners collected along the way, it is impossible to run from Perez to the border line with cavalry in two days and two nights in one breath like I did when I went to rescue Your Excellency, they must be going north along this main road with the greatest transportation capacity, because only this road can carry more than 300,000 troops and baggage, and the other two roads, at most, the other side will send a team of partial divisions to be responsible for the flanks, "The flank partial divisions do not pose a threat, and the Silas people are not afraid of the combat strength." The real fear is that the main Hungarian force arrived under the fortress of Peres without any damage."
Jarglins paused in his voice and continued, "Because at that time, the morale of the opponent's army must have been raised to the highest point, even if the Perez Fortress is arranged with one hundred and twenty Thor pressure formations sent by the empire, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the attack of several Hun Ya gathering all their strength like a fierce tiger." On the contrary, the opponent's biggest weakness is its huge queue, more baggage, and slow march on the way north. According to this river, it may not be impossible to catch the opponent off guard, and no matter what the outcome of the battle is, it will at least cause a demoralization setback. When the time comes, with the thunder god shock, the Huns may not have the courage to encourage the whole army to rush forward!"
"So, Your Excellency is not absolutely sure?" Boazo frowned slightly, he was already determined to let go, whether he would die or not, he would kill a few more Huns at the bottom,
"In such a big battle, who dares to say that he is absolutely sure!" Yagrin bowed his head slightly, sighed as if he was infinitely regretful, raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, "In front is the most advanced outpost of your army, Feigeyi, go there first to see the situation, if the main force of the Hungarian army takes this route, there will inevitably be a Hun ranger."
At this moment, outside the gate of Figueil, there was a panicked scene. As the closest to the chaos at the southern end, the city of Feigei is not large, the width of the left and right is only three or four thousand meters, there are complete earthen walls around the periphery, and there are more than a dozen wooden guard towers of all sizes, which can be regarded as a semi-military settlement, which used to be a place for the families of the border army to be stationed. On the city wall, the militia of Rayla, dressed in ordinary leather armor, also looked nervously at the crowd under the city wall.
Most of these Ryla refugees came from the south, and the Hungarian cavalry had already begun to flee when the beacon fire reached the vicinity. After a few days, he was helpless, panicked and frightened, and did not dare to sleep at night, and often heard the sound of the howling wind at night as the hoofs of the Hun cavalry, and when he ran to the outpost where the flag of Rayla was still erected, he was already exhausted and haggard.
Although the city of Figey is small, but the walls are very complete, and there are Rayla soldiers stationed on it, for these homeless people who have not closed their eyes for many days, seeing Figey is like seeing a savior, and finally feel a little safer.
When we get here, the kingdom will always send a large army to defend it, right? Everyone just wants a place to rest in the city, and they can still get some food, so that everyone can take a breath and continue to flee north. In order to rise to Rila, in order to create the first military power in Central Europe and Barrow, everyone starved on weekdays, endured the burden of the kingdom on their heads, and gave most of the income to the kingdom, hoping to create an era that belonged to the Rila people, hoping to create a strong army, but now that the enemy is really coming, the defenders are scattered all the way, everyone escaped by themselves, and when they arrived in their own areas, didn't they even give a little relief, is this request too much?
However, the closed gate of Figueil made thousands of exiles cry and beg around the city wall, and most of the soldiers guarding the city were militiamen, leaning against the battlements, looking down with unbearable faces, looking at each other, and no one dared to open the blocked gate. A thin, tired, blue-eyed officer in his thirties walked up to the city wall, surrounded by several guards, and saw that this officer should be the supreme commander of the outpost, and the voice of the people of Ryla under the city suddenly rose high.
"My lord, please let us in! I finally escaped here from under the hooves of the Hun people, and there were old and weak people inside, and it was really impossible to walk, and the food was gone. If you go any further, you'll starve to death," a gray-haired old man Rayla had tears on his face, making many of the Rayla militia on the city wall look ugly, "My lord, or let them in!" said a Rayla militia squad leader to the officer
The officer rolled his eyes and asked, "Did you see the Hun Rangers that appeared yesterday?"
"No, I saw one on the opposite side in the morning, and there was no more after it!" replied the leader of the militia in Rayla, reminding him of yesterday's situation, he still had a cold sweat, the Hun Rangers had only heard about it some time ago, and heard that the whole south was plagued by these Hun cavalry.
But I really saw the appearance of the Hun cavalry yesterday evening, in the pale yellow sunset, I saw seven or eight cavalry wearing armor appear in the distance a hundred meters away, wearing an iron helmet with a round edge and a pointed top on their heads, carrying a huge curved bow behind their backs, and the war horses under their crotches were not majestic, but seven or eight cavalry almost galloped in front of this outpost with a disregard attitude, and the sunset shone on the bodies of these Hun Rangers, like a layer of dazzling scales. I don't know who shouted "Hun Cavalry" on the city wall, the whole city wall is like a fried pot, but the outpost Figeine also has fifty regular troops and two hundred militia, but these two hundred and fifty people are stunned to watch these seven or eight Hun cavalry go away. No one dared to go out in pursuit, if it weren't for the fact that he saw the other party just passing by a hundred meters away, a militia captain would almost light the wolf smoke on the city wall to give an alarm, "It's really weird, since the Hungarian rangers are here." How do these outcasts get to guò!" The face of the officer Ryla turned cold, he was a real regular border soldier of Rayla, who had worked in the Feiguyi outpost for several years. This gaze was a little bit, the southern border of Rayla fell, and he watched many fleeing Rayla people drag their children and daughters straight to the north with hesitation, and the urgent military information ahead is also constantly coming. This petty officer, who was silently inactive in the border army of Rayla, rarely did not give up this humble outpost, because he knew that if the Hungarian army wanted to attack Perez, the first important town in the south, the greatest possibility was to take the main road.
If you take the big road, the importance of your own outpost is self-evident,
If the Perez Fortress is the last barrier in the south of Rayla, then Figey is the first eye of this barrier, if even this place is abandoned, there will be no chance to explore the movements of the Hun army, and the country is in danger, and someone must always stand up! In the past few days, this unknown officer of Ryla has been inspecting the city defenses almost sleeplessly, inspecting the watchtowers, and concentrating the small amount of military rations in Figei's city, and distributing them according to the number of people. Tear down the empty houses in the city and collect bricks and stones. I don't know where I found a blacksmith to forge arrows for the city guards
Looking at the thousands of homeless people under the city who should not be here, Officer Rayla seemed to sense something, he held the battlements in his hand, raised his head and looked into the distance, it seemed that seven or eight small dots appeared on the mound in the distance, Hun Tooth Rangers! Officer Rayla's pupils constricted unnaturally, and there were several hungry cries from children under the city, which made him hesitate a little, to say that these homeless people were dressed up as Hun people, that is impossible, most of them are old people, women and children, and a few strong people are also thin in body, with an obvious hungry look on their faces, to say that the appearance of these homeless people has nothing to do with the Hun people, it is even more strange, how did these thousands of homeless people pass through the blockade of the Hun Rangers? Let them go!"
Officer Ryla withdrew his gaze from a distance, his face showed a solemnity, and shouted loudly to the nearby soldiers, "If you don't want to kill your own compatriots, let them continue north, thousands of refugees can't afford a small city like Figey, there is not much food in the city, and it would be a disaster if you really put them all in" More than a dozen militiamen silently found some food and threw it down from the city wall, and the refugees below were picking up food while hugging and fighting, the food was too little, and those who grabbed it ate it and waited with their heads held high, and those who didn't grab it also looked at it.
"Let's go, if you don't want to die, keep walking north!" The militia on the city wall shouted to the bottom, but few people moved, some people were too tired to move, and more people made up their minds to go in, "Open the city gates, we will leave when we are full! Otherwise, we will starve to death if we can't go far!" Someone in the refugee team below shouted, "Yes, open it, you are soldiers, isn't it your duty to protect us?" Open a fart, the gate has been blocked with stones, while the Hun people have not yet come! If you don't want to die, go north! If you go north, you can live!" The officer at the head of the city looked into the distance, he could feel that seven or eight small black dots on the dirt slope were looking at this side, the Hungarian rangers seemed to be waiting for something, suddenly, he desperately shouted at the city, "Escape! Flee north!" Before the refugees below could react, they heard someone shouting, "The Huns, the Huns have been killed" Thousands of Ryla refugees exploded in one fell swoop, and their cries were ten times higher than before. Amid the cries, the crowd was chaotic, pushing and trampling on each other, all trying to seize the road and flee north.
The Rila defenders on the city wall held their breath one by one at this moment, and looked at the south with an ugly face, "What are you still stunned for, light wolf smoke!" The officer on the head of the city shouted to a militia squad leader on Yantai in the distance with a hideous expression, his body was as straight as a sword at this moment, and he saw the horizon in the distance,
Groups of Hungarian cavalry appeared, and a long string of Hungarian military flags hung on the top of the handle swept in the wind, and the overwhelming cavalry armor seemed to crack the world in the distance (to be continued......
