"No, there must be something missing! The other party's arrangement can't be without support points."

As an experienced commander of the Great Army, Hebury's Eighth Army Corps was able to be favored by the Gallic Emperor at the same time as the Sixth Army known as the Imperial "Tiger Army", as a strategic force to suppress the southwest and northwest, which itself shows that the Eighth Army is not as vulnerable as it seems on the surface,

Although he found himself passive, Hebury still sensed something from the fierce attack of the enemy, was it Ditru?

Hebberly's gaze suddenly stopped, that is the birthplace of the Northwest rebels' direct advance, is the culprit who led his Eighth Army to fall into an unfavorable situation before the war, according to the situation of being interspersed and divided by the enemy now, if he still has the psychology of all-round battle to deploy, then he must be dead and have no place to be buried, the current situation is like this, his Gallic Eighth Army has 110,000 people, but it was cut by the division net formed by the enemy's 60,000 troops, like a giant beast trapped by countless ropes,

"In the grid-like dividing line, it is difficult to take care of the end, and it is easy to calmly integrate the local superior forces, and finally eat one of my infantry regiments and one infantry regiment after another! This should be what the military god on the other side is thinking!"

Hebury whispered to himself, looking at the area marked with Ditru Heights, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a trace of calmness, carelessness! A smug smile appeared on the corner of Hebury's mouth, "Come on, inform the 4th Infantry Regiment Mayesuk and the 5th Infantry Regiment Roy Gaine to come to me" Hebury shouted to the guards at the door

Soon, two young infantry commanders appeared in front of him, because the regimental headquarters was terminated, and the two infantry commanders had to be temporarily transferred back to the corps headquarters, and the troops under their command were used as corps reserves. At present, the infantry regiments are fighting on their own and have no time to take care of it, but the two infantry regiments that were unexpectedly transferred back did not appear in the ranks of the Falcon cavalry to continue the attack, giving Hebury a chance to turn the tide of the battle

"Legionnaire!" Roy Gain and Maysuk stood up neatly and saluted the Hebbery. The faces of the two looked a little embarrassed, who said it wasn't, before the battle was fought, their regimental headquarters was turned upside down. A quarter of the casualties, this has become a joke of the Eighth Army, before it was transferred to the Western Front, the Eighth Army in the eastern battlefield but has the nickname of "Cowhide Army", it is the Central Biyan people to describe this army combat power is not the most prominent, but like a cowhide, always let the other side think that it has been defeated, still standing there tenaciously,

And the current situation is no different. The Falcon Army had a total of 60,000 troops and advanced strongly, with 20,000 cavalry led by the fierce general Salon in front of him to break through the regimental headquarters of three infantry regiments in a row, and then there was a frontal attack of 40,000 troops under the command of the fat man himself. If it was an ordinary opponent, even if he had the same strength, under the joint efforts of the two monarchs and ministers who had a tacit understanding, they would have been beaten out of control long ago.

However, the Eighth Army of the Cowhide Army, in the case of scattered operations, was still able to form a dog-tooth situation with the Falcon Army.

In a certain way, the self-help operation of the infantry regiment under the command of the Eighth Army miraculously blocked the frontal attack of the fat man with the name of the god of war, although it was only short-lived, but the things on the battlefield were ever-changing, and no one dared to say that the dawn of the goddess of victory would not befall him because of a short period of minutes, for example, the Lord would be shot by a stray arrow, and the battle flag would be blown down by a strong wind, and there were many cases in history that led to the rout of the army because of such a sudden change.

"How are your two troops resting?" Hebury looked up at the two infantry regiment commanders standing in front of him with helmets in their hands,

"Of course there is no problem at all, and he can go to the battlefield at any time!" Roy Gain, who likes to be in the limelight, rushed in front of Ma Yesuk and said energetically, "There really is no problem at all?" Hebury stood up from his seat, and swept over the two infantry commanders who were a little nervous, this time, he thought that he was going to reverse the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop and completely swallow the Falcon Army that had penetrated deep into his hinterland. The momentum formed invisibly made his courage rise infinitely, "Except for the problem of some troops being reduced due to illness and equipment rusting on rainy days, really...... There is no problem!" Roy Gaine felt the heavy pressure from the legion commander, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and Ma Yesuke also hurriedly said that it was all a small problem, if there was an order from the legion headquarters, his infantry regiment would never back down even if it was the last man, "Since this is the case, I will issue a combat order!"

Hebry's face turned stern, and the two infantry commanders hurriedly stood up straight again, with a look of joy on their faces, they didn't expect to be able to return to the battlefield so soon, this time, they had to turn over their face and take back all the face they had lost before, Roy Gaine almost laughed, it should be that those guys on the front line can't stand it, so His Excellency the Legion Commander had no choice but to send the last reserve, and they all said that they were heroes before, and if they had the ability, don't call for reinforcements" Order, the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments set out at once, and in two days' time, I will see you take the Dytru Heights!" Hebri's voice had a hint of coldness, "What, Dytru Heights?"

Roy Gain was dumbfounded, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was that the Legion Commander was just taking revenge for himself

He hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "My lord, if you want the two of me to apologize for their crimes with death, just say it, there is no need to let tens of thousands of soldiers die with us, take Ditru in 2 days, this is simply impossible, as many as tens of thousands of northwest rebels, didn't they kill from the gap in the Ditru Heights, and now they are risking being chased and intercepted by the Northwest rebels along the way, heading towards the dangerous Ditru Heights, which is tantamount to shouting "If you don't kill me, I'm not a man" in front of all the Northwest rebels With such a group ridicule effect, the entire Northwest rebel army will pounce on it!"My lord, isn't this order too hasty!" Mark Yesu, who didn't talk much next to him, also had a timid look on his face at this time, "Are you two stupid?" Seeing that his brilliant plan was misinterpreted like this, Hebri suddenly turned red with anger, and his hand hammered down on the map on the table, and said sharply, "Our Eighth Army is scattered, how can the enemy not be like this!" The enemy wants to use guò interspersed tactics to eat us with inferior forces, and for them, our army is scattered. The reason why our army is so passive at present is because all the troops are thinking about defense, and they have not thought that in such a staggered situation, taking the initiative is the best way to regain the initiative from the new one, and the mesh that can pull this big net is actually in front of their eyes all the time, "That is the Ditru Heights!" Hebriel wanted to finish all the words in one go, but looking at the two subordinates who were stunned when he heard it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile

"Two infantry regiments. An army of 40,000 men, you and I have enough to eat, and I will take you to death? Tell you the truth, as you approach the heights of Dietru, I will also order all the units of the Eighth Army to launch a counteroffensive, so that the forces of the Northwest rebels who can return to the reinforcements of Dietrou will be held back at the same time, and Dietrou will be a low-hanging glory for you! If not the burden of the entire legion. I'm already going to carry out this plan myself! What are you two idiots doing?

"What the lord said seems to make some sense! My subordinates are going to prepare...... I didn't say anything, gee, it's a nice day," Roy Gain looked guilty. Thinking of his misunderstanding, he was a little at a loss, and hurriedly pulled the next to him, who had not yet come to his senses, and quickly left, "Escape, it's really fast!" Hebriel looked at the back of the two leaving. Taking a deep breath, he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip lightly, a little cold water flowing into his dry throat. Glancing over the staggered battle map, although he had already asked for help from the Sixth Army Corps, which was also in the territory of Rasdi, the reply from the Sixth Army was "The army is being assembled, and the Eighth Army is asked to insist" was simply a bastard reply, obviously waiting for himself to defeat the Northwest Rebels and then another tiger to come down the mountain, because of such a reply, Hebury was very angry to hide the problem of the regional grain depot from the other side

At noon, 40,000 men of the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments marched towards the Ditru area.

Standing on the city tower, Hebury watched the troops like a long dragon finally disappear into the horizon, and his heart was more or less regretful, these young imperial soldiers, with a surprise attack on the mesh Ditru, will inevitably cause a strong resistance from the Northwest rebels, the battle situation must be very prolific, but this can give the other troops of the Eighth Army a chance to launch a counterattack, but the fourth and fifth infantry regiments thrown out as bait, how many will survive in the end, it is really unknown," If you want to unravel this huge grid laid out by the other party, someone must come forward to make sacrifices, and the other infantry regiments are sticking to their positions, only the fourth and fifth infantry regiments, which is also a helpless choice."

Hebury withdrew his gaze from a distance, and looked up to see the overcast sky, and countless white lines fell like strings of pearls.

And to the southeast of Keyan Castle, where the headquarters of the Eighth Army was stationed, a black army was silently marching through the white rain curtain

A black-armored herald cavalry galloped over, and before he could get steady, he jumped off his horse, ignored the mud under his feet, and ran directly behind a slightly chubby figure standing on the top of the mound watching the terrain in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and said sharply, "Your Majesty, according to the report of the trailing secret sentry, the 40,000 troops sent by the enemy's legion headquarters in the direction of Ditru have left" "Smack!"

As if foreshadowing something, suddenly a shining red flash, like a black cloud was uncovered, revealing a large cloud of blood, and the soldiers maintained their formation, "Oh, have you gone far? Okay, I don't want to stand for two hours in vain." The fat man stood on a high place, his face looked a little absent-minded, his eyes were still looking at the white clouds blown away by the wind in the air, and the same as his previous attire, wearing a black domineering demon king armor, exposing himself to the attention of the soldiers without any cover, standing under the falcon battle flag that belonged to the center of the legion,

Below him, the 15,000 men of the Central Legion were scattered into a slightly untidy quadrilateral, with no end in sight to the neatly arranged armor and bayonet spears, and there was only one way to crush the army of 100,000 men in three days, and that was to behead!

Just as Hebbery saw that one end of the mesh was Dietrou, but unfortunately he did not see the other end of the mesh, in fact, it was himself, the commander of the Eighth Gallic Army! The 15,000 Central Guards led by the fat man himself were divided into more than a dozen stragglers, and in the form of interspersed, they had approached Keyan Fort, where the headquarters of the Eighth Army was located.

As the corps headquarters of the Eighth Army stationed in the Keyanbao area, it has 11,000 directly subordinate troops, plus the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments that were previously opened, the total strength of the army has reached 50,000. There will be thought that the enemy directly hit the idea on his head,

"Enemy attack!" Ke Yan Fort's mournful shout kicked off the battle, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows of the Central Army were thrown into the air, dense black dots even covered the sun's brilliance, and the strange and violent whistling sound broke the good dream of the defenders of Ke Yan Fort,

The sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh and bones like raindrops came and went

Three hours after the 4th Infantry Regiment and the 5th Infantry Regiment left Keyan Fort, the elite of the Central Army under the personal command of the fat man swooped down on Keyan Fort, which had only 11,000 directly subordinate troops left. 60 Thunder God were lined up in a high place outside the city, and the heavens and the earth were immediately filled with terrible shocking sounds, and the 60 Thunder God bombarded violently on the thick city wall of Keyan Fort, like waves crashing on the hard rock wall. Turning into a splash of terrifying red,

"Bastard, what is this?"

Hebury stood on the windowsill of the castle tower and looked out, the pupils in his eyes constantly shining with the flames of the explosion, "Boom!" An arrow tower tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally collapsed, and the entire fortress trembled in a dense and violent explosion, and rubble flew across the walls. The explosion of fire raged like a fire dragon, the soldiers howled miserably, and jumped from the towering city wall with flames burning all over their bodies, and below the city wall, the black northwest rebels formed ten infantry formations, discharging a huge trapezoidal queue, behind the 20 tall siege vehicles, hundreds of battle flags rattled in the night wind, and the strong killing intent was like a fire in the dark night straight into the sky,

"How is it possible, you want to storm Keyan Fort!"

For a moment, Hebbery's face was as earthy as he couldn't believe it, he was still complacent about his brilliant idea, but at this moment, he seemed to have fallen into a trap that the other party had already arranged, and Ditru was the bait to lure out his last reserve army, this seemingly impossible plan seemed so natural,

"Bastard, fight!" Hebury felt a wordless frustration in his heart, and in his ears, the trumpets of the enemy outside the city on behalf of the attack sounded in the sky, and the hoplite phalanx formed by the falcon's direct guards began to move forward slowly

Several shield walls composed of dense shields glittered golden in the morning sun, towering spear clusters had been lowered, and ten heavy siege arrow towers that had taken several hours to assemble showed their hideous faces in the military formation, slowly approaching the southern wall under the escort of the military formation

"Quick! Array!" The defenders of Keyan Fort ran out of the cave in the inner layer of the city wall, "Whoosh!" The archers began to quickly counterattack the approaching Falcon army, countless arrows raining down on the heads of the Falcon guards, barely the slightest hesitation,

"Assault!" The Falcon Guards were holding on to the cluster of arrows, not only did they retreat, but instead rushed to the position of the city gate, countless sharp and cold infantry spears, and the noisy shouts of killing, like a dense forest suddenly raised in unison at this moment, the siege shield discharged a tight shield wall at the front end of the military formation, followed by the hoplites responsible for breaking through the enemy's blockade, and then the light infantry responsible for expanding the gap, the crossbowmen as the last side of the military column, under the cold steel helmet, were a pair of bloodshot eyes, full of thirst for blood, " Attention, the left flank finds the enemy!"

A chaotic sound suddenly sounded on the city wall, and a dense black dot rose from a distance, these black dots swept across the sky like a flock of crows, and drew a heavy falling arc, smashing on the cracked city wall of Keyan Fort that had been bombarded with thunderous force, and the Gallic soldiers were like pieces of wheat seedlings being rubbed and beaten to death, "The right side also came up!"

The stones whistled, the smashed building car creaked, and "popped" In the case of the loss of three siege vehicles, the huge siege building car finally leaned against the wall of Keyan Fort, widening and thickening the food barrier, like a big mountain from the height of the battlement, smashing on the battlement mouth, "Crossbow shooting!"

In an instant, countless white lines rushed out from behind the lowered baffle like magic, and the Gallic soldiers were forming a queue at the interface, and they were immediately shot over, and then the crossbowmen retreated, and the Falcon Guards infantry immediately rushed out with their shields unceremoniously, and the exit of the building car was covered with dense heavy crossbowmen,

The Gallic archers on the opposite side of the "shooting" also turned to the siege cart at the same time, and the clusters of arrows attacking each other on both sides crossed the sky like a swarm of locusts, and the passage of the castle cart connected the military formation below, and soldiers continued to fall from the cart, and immediately new soldiers made up,

'Kill'

The narrow passage of the building car has become a battlefield for the two sides, like monsters constantly devouring the soldiers on both sides.

As a direct unit of the legion, the Gauls fought very tenaciously, and although they were routed several times, they still strangled with the rushing Falcon Guards hoplites, and their spears pierced the chests of the warriors on both sides, and blood splattered down from the battlements.

"Pay attention to the city gates" With a terrible cry of despair, the wooden city gate of Keyan Fort, which was saturated by Thor, was shattered into pieces (to be continued......
