2050 The Whole Country Fights (9)
At the middle section of the Arras River in the Kingdom of Rayla, the waves on the river are rolling, mixed with the turbid yellow current rolling down, and the torrent hits the half-cut wooden piles that are stalked in the river, this is a new bridge that has not yet been completed, and near the ferry at the other end of the bridge, large and small carriages full of supplies have been paved for more than ten miles,
This river is the largest river in the kingdom of Rayla, the Aras River, the river surface is about 20 meters wide in normal months, but in this spring snowmelt season, the meltwater from the distant snow-capped mountains continues to flow in, the water level of the river surface has skyrocketed, and the width of the water surface has reached more than 30 meters, there was an old stone bridge on the river surface, and finally in the first few days the flood pressure was washed away from the middle and broken, and the entire transportation line was completely paralyzed! At this time, in a straw hut next to the ferry, a middle-aged general wearing the uniform of the Ruila Army, looking at the river surface of the torrent, his eyebrows were about to condense into a ravine, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry on his face.
This middle-aged general is Baron Sig, the head of Rayla's logistics, and he personally sits here to urge the bridge workers to speed up the repair of the bridge, so that the materials blocked here can continue to the west, on the one hand, the front is urging materials, on the other hand, there are too many materials, Rayla's weak logistics and transportation capacity can not keep up with the speed of the main army's march, plus the river rises in spring, the work of repairing the stone bridge is even more difficult,
"My lord," said the adjutant beside him with an ugly look of indignation. These are the logistics materials that the coalition forces hoarded near the border in order to deal with the battle in the north of the Congo, and the amount is so large that it took a full month to mobilize all the logistics and transportation capacity in the country, and now it is suddenly all to be transported away, which is simply a disaster for our logistics line in Rayla, not to mention, it took four days to repair less than half of the stone bridge, even if the next few days are all sunny and good, it will take eight to nine days to completely repair the collapsed stone bridge, in this case. The Ministry of Military Affairs asked us to send so many logistical supplies to the Western Front within fifteen days, which is simply an impossible task!" "Do your best!" Although the Huns have stopped, everyone can see that once they start, it will inevitably be a battle of life and death, and the front-line soldiers may have a fight at any time. These materials naturally have to go west, but the domestic infrastructure is poor, the road conditions are not good, the number of commercial carriages is insufficient, and now it is not easy to transport all of them at once, and some carriages are also dispatched to follow the main force, and under the tight capacity, it is thankful that these materials can be transported in front of them within ten days, not to mention that there are more materials squeezed behind. It is conservatively estimated that it would be very good to be able to transport all of them within a month, and at present, the bridge can only be repaired, and some of them will be transported to the emergency first!"
"Hey. I really don't know what the above is thinking, why do you want to invite the Hun people, it really lures the wolf into the room!" the adjutant pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, in the country of Rayla. The Ryla soldiers, in particular, were very disgusted to fight with the Huns.
"You know what. The main force of the coalition army has been hit hard, and the main force of the Falcon Empire's cavalry is pressing, if there is no cavalry army that can fight, the coalition army will not escape the fate of being swept away!" Baron Sige said with a deep gaze, "Although His Majesty knows that pulling the Hun into the camp of the coalition army is a poison and has a great hidden danger, but under the circumstances at that time, it can't be controlled so much, so His Majesty let the Hun Ya people make their own way, although he knows that it is just a light touch with the Falcon Empire, and the Hun Ya King will hang!" Plainly gave the Hungarians the opportunity to raise troops in a big way, and in just half a month, they destroyed the two principalities, shaking the entire Central Europe Baro, and now the main force of the Hungarian East and West is not released, which makes the entire Central Europe tense its nerves, but for us Rayla, the current situation is relatively optimistic, because there is also a Wu Dua Kingdom between the Hungarians and the Kingdom of Rayla, Wu Dua is a mountain country, and it is difficult for the Hungarian cavalry group to expand the area, like a natural barrier for Riela, the king of Wu Dua asked His Majesty for help, and the kingdom sent about 50,000 troops to the Wu Dua Mountains to build the western front of the coalition army, which only had a large number of materials to move to the western front”
"Although the arrogance of the Huns is monstrous, don't forget that we are Rayla, the descendants of heroes," Baron Sig said proudly, his voice paused and a flush welled up on his face. A hundred years ago, the same situation, the countries were cowardly, only our ancestors fought to the end for the Central European Baro, only the name of the hero Rayla was achieved, we did not catch up with that era, it is not bad to be able to catch up with this era, the Hungarian tooth is westward, the countries are undecided, and the people are panicked and difficult to judge, and I Rayla is the first to express the sincerity of joining forces to resist, as long as the countries can join forces, just like a hundred years ago a drum broke the Hungarian people as the main force of the field elite, then I Rayla will be beautiful for a hundred years!"
"Well, that's what to say, but what about so many supplies?" The adjutant was a little excited when he heard this, but his eyes swept over the carriage that was jammed with the road, and immediately it was a bitter gourd face, the heroic descendants of the Ryla people were not afraid of the Hun people, but tens of thousands of troops were about to enter the complex terrain of Wu Duya Mountain, and the logistics materials were far behind, so you can't fight the Hun people on an empty stomach, the military rations carried by the Kingdom Army that rescued Wu Duya on the front line are limited, and it is the limit to be able to support ten to fifteen days, and the real war materials still have to rely on the transfer of the people in the rear.
Tens of thousands of armor, millions of arrows. Shields, as well as a large number of materials used to lay out the defensive line, these are still blocked on the surface of this river, only when these materials arrive, the Rayla army can be regarded as complete the defensive preparation, and the defensive line is consolidated. Only then could it be possible to fight a field battle with the Hun cavalry based on the mountains. Generally speaking, there are sufficient supplies and a solid defensive line as a backing, and there is a basis for advance and retreat. Heavily armoured and able to use horse-repellent spears under foot, the Rayla army was not afraid of cavalry, as can be seen in the Battle of Gangfei North, when the Rayla used infantry to resist the Empire's iron cavalry charge for more than an hour.
This is also helpless, Central Europe Baro lacks horses, since the Congo Empire completely monopolized the road to the north, Central Europe Baro has lost a stable way to obtain war horses. The field infantry groups developed in this situation are behind every field battle. It all needs a large number of people and materials to support, but Baron Sig, who supervised the transportation of materials in the back, was full of tears when he mentioned this. The war is getting more and more tense, and everyone is busy reaping the benefits. Who cares how much pressure there is on the logistics department, without bonuses, those who repair the bridge will work twice as hard. Construction was extremely slow. At every turn, they were mixed together, and at any time it seemed that people and horses could be seen being squeezed into the water on the pontoon. The anxious Baron Sig jumped to his feet. Riding a small boat on the river dozens of times a day, shouting hoarse and voiced to no avail, plus more and more supplies from behind, Baron Sig, as a general, can only say that he did his best, allowing the military hedgehogs to gather at the ferry, blocking the water and pulling out all the people and horses below. At the ferry, he helped repair the bridge, transfer supplies, and channel order.
In this way, on the fifth day, when the sky was about to dawn, he finally picked up the stone slabs on the piers of the stone bridge, which was a little like a look, and the heavy materials of the brigade could finally move forward slowly on the stone bridge in order, and the bridge builders were sleeping beside the heavy carts and horses, and the soldiers who had been busy all night also got into their tents, and Baron Sig, who had been running for several days at the ferry, felt as if he were stepping on cotton under his feet. He was so tired that he looked at the long convoy of ants moving like ants on the bridge deck, and wondered if he should go back to his tent for a while to slow down.
"Fifteen days to the Western Front is impossible. Fight for eighteen days!"
In the distance, the sky was already gray and began to lighten. At this time, for some reason, Baron Sig suddenly felt that the ground began to shake. At first, I felt that I was tired and dizzy. So I couldn't stand still, and when I looked down, the lights hanging from the carriage on the stone bridge shone on the water below. Seeing the small pebbles and sand under his feet trembling slightly, he suddenly shivered, this was by no means his own illusion! He raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he saw that in the faintly discernible sky, a group of black figures suddenly appeared in the distance of his vision.
It was only at this time that the faint sound of horses' hooves was heard. It was like a black line speeding from afar, like a hungry wolf watching them coldly in the darkness as they were busy at the ferry all night, and then at this time when the sky was about to dawn. There was a raid! Not just Sig, which stretched north along the riverbank. The Sentries of Rayla, who were maintaining order at the ferry, also appeared, and these cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them,
All the warhorses have already mentioned the highest. The knights on horseback wore furry helmets, some of which were clearly officers' hats and peaks with colored feathers on the spires, which were the hallmarks of the Huns, and the sudden appearance of these horsemen were all extremely fast and light horses, silently crouching on their horses. With a spear in his hand, or a long knife in his mouth, and a bow on his back, he surged towards the ferry like a tidal wave! Layer upon layer surged like a wall! Nearer, the sound of horses' hooves could finally be heard, roaring like thunder, and it was impossible to tell the count. It's just a rumbling bang. Covering the sky over the entire ferry, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and more people stood up in a daze, and the mournful shouts of the Sentry of Rayla sounded, "Enemy attack! Hun cavalry!" At the position of the ferry, more mournful shouts followed by Ying He, and the soldiers resting in the camp were all alarmed, and ran out of the tents in a chaotic manner, and the scene in front of them suddenly made them gasp, because the morning fog was heavy, and they couldn't see how many enemies there were. All you can see is that these light cavalry completely obscured the already faintly lit line of the sky.
These Rayla soldiers are just logistics soldiers, and even the officers are stupid when they have seen such a situation there, how can there be Rayla people here? Baron Sig reacted first, and ordered loudly in his already hoarse voice, "Immediately arrange the formation according to the car, I will personally supervise the battle, the other party is only light cavalry, as long as you hold on for an hour, the other party will no longer have the confidence to fight, pass on my order, and if you take a step back without authorization, the whole team will be killed!" The personal soldiers behind Baron Sig immediately shouted all the way. Surrounded by more than a dozen guards, Baron Sig strode to a high place on the left side of the ferry, and let the guards raise the flag of the general to stabilize the morale of the army.
Seeing the erection of the Ruila military flag, more and more soldiers, mobilized with the order, these logistics soldiers combat effectiveness is not good, but fortunately there should be too many carriage congestion, casually from the material carriage turned over the weapon, unexpectedly formed a natural car formation, but also let the outer impact of the Hun cavalry have a way to go into the illusion, the left side of the ferry is the open land of a horse Pingchuan, the sudden appearance of the Hun cavalry with the sky is bright, the scale can finally be seen by the Ruila people, the number is not very much, about two or three thousand people,
On the ferry side, there were also 2,000 soldiers under Sige's command, blocked by a natural chariot formation, and the foot archers among them boldly shot a row of arrows towards the Hun cavalry in the distance. The layered diagonal insertion is slanted into the ground. This is the maximum range of various long-ranges.
"Steady, don't mess up!" The officers who led the team at all levels looked at the Hungarian people in the distance, holding a cold sweat in their palms, such a number of Hungarian cavalry, where did they come from, and they raised full horsepower from a distance, and they seemed to be not ready to turn around and go back, this is a desperate impact. None of them glanced at their peers who had fallen into the dust with arrows, and none of them slowed down slightly. They're just going crazy and crazy. The people of Rayla had a hint of premonition. Are these Hun cavalry crazy, there is no money here, and there are no beautiful women, is it worth it to play with such a brain? I heard a sound in the air with a metallic trill. Countless arrows rose in the direction of the galloping war horses, shooting towards this direction
"Beware, arrow attack!" Before the terrible shout fell, a soldier was hit by an arrow cluster and overturned, and the cold sweat on the foreheads of the others came down, and the car formation was useless. Forget about the opposite side of the Hun people, who are famous for their archers, the Hun people are famous for their superb archery, and the consequences of shooting at them can be imagined, and the men and horses are rolled together. Under the thousands of arrows fired by the Hungarian archers, they almost swept away the front row of the Ruila army! If it weren't for the car formation blocking most of them, I was afraid that all the soldiers on the ferry side would die.
The Hun hussars pushed the horses to the limit. Let the tall horses seem to be galloping in the air with four hooves. The cavalry should not hide behind the neck of the horse, and do not shrink by the saddle, so as to minimize the area where the arrow may be hit. The people of Rayla were a little surprised. Rushing to the front, there were several Hungarian cavalry captains carrying red flags, and everyone had no intention of turning back! This cavalry that broke into the appearance was the remnant of the Hungarian army led by Yaaosen to kill the Huns, a team of more than 20,000 people, with 4,000 Hun archers as the advance line, with more than 10,000 infantry as the backing, directly rushed into the country of Rayla, Yaaosen was in the coalition army, vaguely remembered the original route, but did not expect to be here, unexpectedly bumped into such a large scale of transport team, Yaaosen immediately decided, to seize the ferry,
But when it comes to a desperate road, the warrior who abandons superfluous thoughts is the most terrible, this Hun remnant army lost the Hun king, and slept on the border, starved for a month, and was chased by the Falcon Imperial cavalry like a rabbit, and has long been unaware of what life and death are, now there are only two words in my mind, go back, return to the Hun Ya, return to their own tribe, even if they are beheaded because of the king's death in the end, in this case, the remnants of the Hun Ya army full of grief and indignation are already like fierce beasts and are not afraid of any enemy, several brave squadron leaders are the first to take the lead, facing the arrows on the ferry side, people and war horses began to fall continuously。 But after these Huns shot the first cluster of arrows, they still didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down, and just hit the inside of the carriage group!
"Bang" A Hungarian cavalry captain even forcibly drove the war horse to knock the carriage away, jumped down with a mace in his hand, and waved the mace in his hand with a wild cry. On his body, as well as the mount under his crotch, they were all hung with arrow feathers, which had been severely damaged. But he still mustered the last of his strength to move forward. Two tomahawks slashed the front hooves of his mount, and the spear poked out and stabbed deep into the centaur before the captain of the Hun fell with a bang. But behind him, more Hun cavalry rushed in and crashed into the formation!
The people of Ryla on the ferry side had a look of horror on their faces. No one expected that the Huns would be so mad! At this time, the soldiers of Rayla reacted, and the spearmen and shield swordsmen hurriedly jumped on the wheel and blocked in front of the archers. The archers were still shooting and retreating, and the Hun cavalry couldn't care so much at this time, and jumped from their horses to the carriages, killing and slashing at the soldiers below
"Stop them, you must stop them! We must not let the supplies fall into the hands of the Huns." Baron Sig's face was already pale at this time, and he shouted again and again, after all, he was a logistics officer, and the number of times he really went to the battlefield was very rare, and it was okay to sit in command, but it had become a chaotic battle close at hand, blood was splashed everywhere, people were rolling around, and the mace of the Hun cavalry even almost hit him, and that bit of composure would have been thrown out of the clouds, if he hadn't known that once he escaped, the materials here would have fallen into the hands of the Huns, and when the time came, he would have died, and he would have run away.
"My lord, give the order to set it on fire, you can't stop it!" His captain of the guard ran over covered in blood, the Hunnians beat too hard, these logistics soldiers completely collapsed after a few resistances, ran around, and were caught up by the Huns with a stick to death,
In the direction where the Huns had just appeared, more Hun infantry were swarming, and this sight made Baron Sig a clever man, and his tone changed, in this case, it was better to save his life, set fire! Set fire to it! As the torches were dropped on the wagons full of supplies, the flames rose rapidly
Yaosin came to a carriage that had not yet been on fire and unveiled it, his face showed a touch of joy, and he hurriedly ordered "Do all your best to put out the fire, quickly" (to be continued......
