753 Back to the horse pistol (3)
(20 points)
Bun sincerely thanks: the imperial cat cat voted for a monthly pass;
The 30,000 Kugit cavalry rushed towards the outer fence of the castle like an iron wall, like a blooming pampas flower, and suddenly bloomed in parallel advances
The first line of attack was Kugit's most famous 12,000 Hurricane cavalry, with clusters of leaping horses advancing at high speed through undulating terrain, some rampage, some curved.
The seemingly chaotic hurricane cavalry, which originally looked like it was about to enter the range of the castle's arrow tower counterattack, suddenly turned around at this moment, like a neat pair of arms spread out to the sides, revealing a light cavalry holding a circular shield in the middle
"Mom, it's the Eastern Court Cavalry"
The camp was completely bombed at the head of the city, and the tens of thousands of defenders almost didn't even resist, and it was completely chaotic.
The Southern Noble Army was in charge of guarding Fort Gondor by the lieutenant of Tazar, the commander of the First Legion of the Southern Army, Viscount Selepe, a young man whose ancestors had once produced a military minister, who liked to wear solid gold buttons, blue embroidered gold blouses, and always wore a three-petal gold elm leaf coat of arms, to show that someone in his family had served the royal family.
When the knights under his command broke through the door and the guards rushed in, this young nobleman, who claimed to be the elite of the South, was still writhing on the belly of the woman, until he was impatient with the angry voices of the knights, and he reluctantly climbed down from the delicate woman under his crotch. In a trance, I came to the main chair in the hall,
"What are you panicking about, what's going on?" his wine-colored and puffy eyes swept over the knights gathered in the hall in front of him, some of whom were nobles from the south, and some of whom were nobles' attendants,
"What's going on? What did you say?
Because these knights disturbed the interest, he scolded angrily almost without asking, "Are you dazzled? Many words, the 100,000 army of the Eastern Court has collapsed a long time ago, and even the Khan of the Eastern Court has died at the hands of the Vecchians.
"But my lord, my subordinates dare to vouch for their heads, and it is indeed the Kugit cavalry who stormed the castle."
A middle-aged knight who took the lead held a helmet in his hand, and knelt down first, and said with an affirmative expression, "I have fought with them in the north, and I will never forget their barbaric and terrible longbow and fast horses in my life, and every attack must be covered with a rain of arrows, whether it is a Dongting person I don't know, but I am sure that this is the style of the Kujiit people."
"Well, what you said is true?"
Selepe stood up from his seat with a solemn face, walked back and forth in front of the seat with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped, looked at the middle-aged knight who was guaranteed with his head, and suddenly asked
"Are you sure they're all Kujits?, not just one or two, but a whole army of tens of thousands?"
"Absolute certainty of subordinates"
The Grand Knight of Lil gritted his teeth, responded to Selepe with a resolute face, and said in his mouth, "The cavalry that can shoot arrows while galloping on horseback, except for the Kugit people in the northern steppe, there will never be any other possibility As for the number of people, adults can go to the city wall to see, the mountains are all over the field, and even the luster of the sun is covered."
Hearing the words of the Grand Knight of Lear, Sepel's face became a little pale, and his intuition told him that this was definitely not the Eastern Court cavalry, but did these tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry come out of the ground? Or did they fall from the sky?
"My lord, I think I know who these nomadic cavalrymen are?" Just as there was a chaotic sound in the hall, a knight at the end of the queue suddenly stood up and saluted Sepera, and everyone hurriedly looked,
"Odoc, do you know where these cavalrymen came from?" asked Selepe, a little stunned, and the bewildered eyes of the crowd turned to wait eagerly for an answer
The knight, who had been watched by countless eyes, straightened up a little nervously, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth that was more ugly than crying
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten how the people of the Eastern Court were destroyed, you still remember that on the other side of the Amira Mountains, under the command of that powerful monarch, there were millions of Kugit people
His flickering gaze contained a look of yearning: "It is the dream of all warriors to be able to follow a powerful monarch, in the eyes of that monarch, tens of thousands of Kugit cavalry are just a vanguard, if anyone can suddenly descend tens of thousands of troops on the opponent's land like a miracle, I really can't think of anyone else"...,
The knight's tone trembled, but the meaning was already undoubted, and anyone could hear it, dead silence, there was a dead silence in the hall, the knights were like deflated balls, their faces were pale and ugly, outside the hall, the whistling wind was clearly audible, such an answer was better than not saying anything,
"Fight against the Vecchia Falcon? It's better to die directly," a knight of Ryrdian had a pale face, muttering to himself like a demonic barrier, his voice seemed to represent the hearts of all the nobles of the Southern Army
Because Fort Gondor is located in the heart of the Six Cities, theoretically speaking, no matter what angle the enemy attacks, it is impossible for Fort Gondor in the center to be bullied by the enemy without warning.
Although there are not many people with outstanding vision among the southern aristocracy, the newly elected leader Tazar, after all, is an experienced general, and he knows very well that although the southern army is headed by himself, it is actually internally mixed, and this large collection of careerists, speculators, and power thirsters can fall apart at any time for some inconspicuous reason.
If you want to unite these forces, you must show a strong enough hand to bring this plate of scattered sand together.
As long as Gondor is in his hands, the southern aristocratic army will not disperse, and the six southern cities can become pawns in his hands, and sending troops from Gondor can strangle any opposing voice in the cradle
It's a pity that his gaze coincides with that of someone who has bad intentions for the six southern cities,
Hit the snake and hit seven inches, if you don't shoot, it's enough, and it's an irretrievable lore when you shoot, which has always been the style of a dead fat man.
The southern aristocratic army is dominated by infantry, and the lack of mobile support is its biggest shortcoming, the rigid defenders are only about 7,000 people, and most of them are untrained peasant soldiers, and the real combat effectiveness is only a squadron of knights,
Thinking of this terrible situation, the young Sepera shuddered, but the duty and duty still made him hurriedly lead the knights to the city wall,
In the huge collapse sound of "boom", a hideous sound of fighting came from below, there were burning fires everywhere, a wooden arrow tower in the corner of the wall collapsed in the flames, and the archers above jumped down from above with flames,
Countless red rockets fell like meteors in the sky, and the unsuspecting defenders fell almost in pieces, and under the city walls, a black group of human heads, Kugit people with cavalry round shields in their hands, were pouring up the city wall like dense ants,
"Don't mess around, we still have reinforcements, as long as you hold Gondor, Lord Tazar will definitely come to the rescue"
Selepe shouted loudly in front of a group of fleeing soldiers, but who would listen to him in the midst of the chaos,
Looking out from the stone wall at the top of the city wall, there were soldiers of the Southern aristocratic army scurrying around like hornets that had been stabbed in their nests.
Coupled with the chaos, the rout of the army from left to right, the entire city wall was in chaos.
Or the Grand Knight of Lil next to him had experience, and he knew that in this situation, there was only one possibility to stop the rout, these were lowly peasant soldiers, under the scimitars of the Kujits, these guys who could only plunder the civilians, were completely a herd of sheep to the slaughter, and if you wanted to turn the sheep into wolves, you had to see blood, not only the blood of the enemy, but also the blood of your own people
"All draw their swords"
In the face of the oncoming rout, the Grand Knight Captain of Lil shouted with all his might, and without hesitation, he pulled out his sharp knight's sword and slashed at the rout.
Under the swords of hundreds of knights who suddenly attacked, I saw people's heads rolling, and many soldiers with panicked faces fell down holding their sliced stomachs, with bulging eyes and disbelief looking at the knights who slashed down like madmen.
Until they died, they could never have imagined that they did not die in the hands of the terrible Dongting people, but died in the hands of their beloved knights of Ruierdian, the crowd surged, and the rout army stopped unnaturally, and no one looked at the knights who were standing close to their own blood, these armor stained with blood and broken flesh, no matter how they looked, they looked like evil ghosts crawling out of hell
"Flee without permission, kill and cut off a kujit head, and reward a gold coin"
Under the fearful gaze of the crowd, the Grand Knight of Lear stopped his sword and shouted hoarsely, threateningly and seductively, and the fleeing rout went back again, meeting the Kugit cavalry who had climbed the walls,...,
Dense human heads were moving on the city wall, and the heavy panting sound on both sides could be heard a hundred meters away, and the first wave of at least 5 kugit thousand people rushed to the city wall, like a giant * surging wave, slapping fiercely in front of the spear formation of the southern aristocratic army.
On a high slope outside Fort Gondor, Duo Weiyan was looking at the most important connection point of the six southern cities with an imminent gaze, and the horsewhip in his hand gently slapped his palm,
It's a pity that the tenacity of the other party is somewhat unexpected, the six southern cities seem to be in the same breath, but in fact, they are six points on a hundred-mile-long chain, and only need a mobile and powerful cavalry force, which can completely take this hub fortress from the southern aristocratic army in one fell swoop before any news that arouses the other party's vigilance arrives, occupy Gondor, and the 80,000 aristocratic army will be cut off from the middle
"Go, go" In the dense metal impact, blood rushed out from the bodies of the two sides who were strangled together, these hands were wearing simple leather armor, and the spears in their hands were also cannon fodder troops with wooden poles and iron thorns,
With the advantage of dense numbers and spears against scimitars, it was also equal to the Kugit cavalry who climbed over the city walls for a while.
Although the castle of Gondor is not large, it is made of solid gray striped stones.
The defense line constructed by the two figure-of-eight defensive walls allows the strength of the southern aristocratic army to be completely deployed on the city wall, which is enough to make the Kujites, who are not good at attacking the city, be blocked there for a while, and as a last resort, Duo Weiyan can only send a thousand heavy gunmen specially assigned to him by the fat man for this siege battle
These heavy spearmen are all recruited from the three northern counties of Ruierdian soldiers, because of the war, many of them are prisoners from Ruierdian's army, these soldiers who were originally trained as siege engines can be said to be quite skilled in siege warfare.
They lined up in thick queues along the eastern end of the city wall occupied by the Kujits, holding aloft siege shields, and pushed forward in order, like layers of waves crashing against the crumbling defense line of the southern aristocratic army,
"Wow" spear from the gap in the shield into it, the advantage of professional soldiers and peasant soldiers quickly reflected, only to see the spear like a wall high up, like splitting mountains and breaking the sea suddenly falling, "a sharp whistling sound pierced in from the gap between the simple shields, and before the peasant soldiers behind could react, they were stabbed into the body wearing only leather armor from top to bottom by the spear blade more than a foot long,
Blood came out of the broken wound**, the spear was withdrawn, and the bright red blood hole was opened with the shield by the spear, revealing a panicked white face behind the shield,
The rise of the "killing" of the forefront of the heavy pikemen, the bloodthirsty desire spread in the heart, the crazy spear in his hand continued to pierce the enemy's chest, the dense spear was like a moving piercing wall, pushing the rout army that was blocked back by the rear knights to the ground, the heavy pikemen did not hesitate to step over the corpse and continue to advance,
Piles of corpses almost a meter high were stacked on the battle line. finally broke the nerves of the soldiers of the Southern Noble Army,
Even in the face of the bloody battle of the knights behind, these cannon fodder troops did not stop the pace of rout, and in the end, even the knights who supervised the battle were rushed to pieces.
The battle lasted until 6 p.m., when the Kugit cavalry, who were holding round shields and attacking the city, completely broke through the resistance of the southern aristocratic army
Gondor fell, and at the same time, the news of the war was already like snowflakes, flying to the base camp of the Southern aristocratic army that Sepel had been desperate for reinforcements
"What the hell is going on" Tazar, the unkempt leader of the southern aristocracy, had bloodshot eyes, looking at the report for help piled up on his desk, skewed like a hill that would collapse at any time, and felt that if he was not hallucinating, he must have not woken up from the nightmare,
He raised his head a little bitterly and looked outside, the sky outside was very good, the sun was shining, and it didn't look like he was going to be unlucky.
Originally, the leader of the southern aristocratic army was still thinking about whether to go hunting in the Doan Mountains today, in this autumn season, it is the season for elk to grow fat.
But just after noon, everything changed, first there was an urgent report from Fort Vandigang, which was located near the Emira Pass, saying that he had been violently attacked by an unknown legion, and if he did not send reinforcements to rescue, he would wait to collect his body, and then Gondor from Fort Vandigang, 40 miles away, sent an urgent report, this time it was a Kujit, and the general stationed there was his confidant adjutant, and his words were earnest, and his attitude was so tragic that it didn't seem like he was lying to himself, and then, a series of news of the attack was as if he had made an appointment,...,
The enemy attacked Burrendo, and the forces were huge and asked for reinforcements, but our army could not support them. This is a letter for help from the Duke of Consa from Burondo: "The bow and arrows and rolling stones have been used up, and we are already fighting the enemy with spit, and we will vomit blood if we don't rescue" This is a humorous character who has always liked to exaggerate the actual Baron Rytang
It seemed that one morning, except for the farthest city of Driss, the other five cities were surrounded by the enemy, which was completely like an unimaginable nightmare, and this sudden situation completely stunned Tazar, who has always been known for his resourcefulness, although each city seemed to feel very strange to its enemy, and the silence of Driss City undoubtedly explained the identity of the enemy,
The other party almost didn't even have the most basic discussion, and directly rushed up, with a strong attack power, and instantly smashed the defensive belt laid outside the city wall, the terrible, as strong as the fire of the river, all proved that this attack was the Falcon army at the other end of the Amira Mountains,
At first, Tazar wanted to go to the rescue, but after calculating the strength of both the enemy and us, he never mentioned this matter again.
Thinking about the fact that I heard that the Falcon Dynasty had applied to the direction of Paravon to attack the Dorok people by means of an excuse, and it was said that it had gathered more than 100,000 main troops, I still wanted to laugh at that time, 100,000 elites were stationed on the border with such a huge momentum, just to fight Dorok?
It is said that the strategy of the Vikya Falcon is unparalleled, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, I heard that the first beauty of Dorok is now in the hands of the Vikia Falcon, presumably this lustful king has already been turned around by the beauty fan, for Bo Hongyan smiled, and did not hesitate to be a soldier of the whole country, this kind of thing, this king is not the first time to do it, last time for a Berant Bonnie, he waved his army straight into the three northern counties, and now for the first beauty of Dorok, regardless of the kingdom, it is absolutely possible to launch a Dorok war
But now it seems that the Vekia Falcon not only played everyone again, but also quietly crossed the border without anyone thinking about it, and the 100,000 army was able to march into Dorok, and naturally it could also go south to the Parabun Plain
"Stampede"
The sound of horses' hooves came from outside,
Soon, a knight covered in mud strode in from outside, knelt down on one knee in front of Taszak, and spoke
"My lord, the latest battle report, a day of fierce fighting, as of six o'clock this afternoon, Gondor, Rianze, and Burrendo have fallen, and it has been confirmed that the commander of the Third Legion stationed in Driss City, Ridda, and the commander of the Second Legion of Fort Vandish, Lady Birmingham, have all led the army to surrender, and now only Staros of our First Legion is still holding on and waiting for reinforcements...... ,
