1871 Wall Rock Fort (2)
"Lord Randolph, the rear army has collapsed, the Chinese army has also been affected, the enemy's cavalry will be killed soon, let's evacuate immediately!" There were routs everywhere, and the captain of the cavalry guards looked reluctant and loudly urged Randolph, who was standing in place, to flee immediately, "Evacuate, where to retreat?" Randolph heard this word, his mind was in a trance, and he subconsciously asked, "The road to Kyoto in front has been cut off, of course, it is to return to the wall rock fort!" The captain of the cavalry of the escort gestured to the cavalry behind him, and one of the cavalrymen skillfully took out a set of things from his horse's bag and handed it to Randolph, "Change this, my lord!
"Back to the wall rock fort?"
Randolph just wanted to say something, his eyes swept over the things in his hand, and his face changed,
It was an ordinary soldier's armor, brand new and shiny, and at a glance it was clear that it had not been used, and it was specially used to escape! This thought made Randolph feel a trace of unbearable humiliation, "Bastard, you are a cowardly behavior!" Randolph looked at his escort cavalry captain angrily, his face was pale, and his body trembled with anger, when, the imperial guard has degenerated to this kind of Cheng dù, how did this guy become an imperial guard!,
"We're just retreating, and changing into clothes is just an act of insurance!" The captain of the cavalry guard looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, and said in a calm tone, "Our army has been defeated, and no matter how insistent the lord is, he can't save the situation, and now it's so chaotic, the ground is full of routs, and the enemy won't notice us if we put on the armor of the soldiers! The wall rock fort where the army is located is only fifteen miles away from here, as long as we escape the mountain col in front, we will be safe! Hurry up and change clothes, we don't have time!" "You guys...... What a disgrace to the Imperial Guard!" Randolph raised his hand to the captain of the guard, his lips trembling and he could barely speak, "My lord, I think you forgot. We're not the Imperial Guard!" The Cavalry Guard Captain sneered at the corner of his mouth, and quietly glanced at a companion next to him, this guy is really stubborn, he can't be delayed, or he will really die here!" "You ......" Randolph's face changed, and he thought of something, a trace of contempt flashed on his face, and he said arrogantly, "I was wrong, you lowly people are not qualified to be here, get out." I'm not going to go, even if I die, I won't ...... Ahh The cheap sapphires on it are all cracked into several pieces,
"Really, what are these soldiers thinking, it's all like this. This guy still wants to insist, do you want everyone to be buried together!" Someone complained, "Okay, don't delay! Hurry up and change his clothes" The cavalry captain's face showed a hint of hideousness, and several of the cavalry guards hurriedly put on the armor of ordinary soldiers for Randolph. Then drag Randolph, who had passed out, to a warhorse
"Captain, what if we are held accountable afterwards?" said a cavalry guard with a yellowed face, worried
"yes, yes. A fierce looking cavalry guard agreed, he looked at the chaotic situation around him, touched the calf with his right hand, and quietly pulled out a small sword tied to the calf, the blade was zigzag, and the sharpness was extremely fierce
"What are you going to do, Rastanley!" asked the captain of the cavalry of the guards
"Head, this guy is very vindictive, last time because you forgot to call his name, I tied you to a stake and gave you thirty whips, I wanted to kill him for a long time, it is better to solve it now!" The cavalryman's dagger was pressed against Randolph's throat with a sharp serrated edge with a layer of dim blood. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, the blade cut into Randolph's skin, red blood stayed along the blade, the surroundings were very chaotic, the soldiers were busy escaping, and when they saw several escort cavalry surrounding Randolph, they all thought that the wounded general was being bandaged,
"Stanley, don't be in a hurry" Suddenly, the captain of the guard seemed to think of something, and hurriedly shouted to stop the behavior of the subordinate "What's the matter, head, are you going to let this guy live to take revenge on us?" The cavalry raised his head unexpectedly,
"I don't care if he dies or not! It's just that he can't die here!" The captain of the escort cavalry reined in his horse, looked at the louder and louder sound of fierce battle in front of him, and said in a condensed voice, "Don't forget, according to the imperial military regulations, the main general will not withdraw, the guard cannot be evacuated, the lord will die, the guard must be buried with him, if he dies here, we will not live!" "It's really unlucky! It would have been very troublesome to be chased, and we had to carry such a burden!"
The cavalryman scolded and twisted his wrist, inserted the serrated short sword into the scabbard on the leggings, spat on the ground, and reluctantly put the unconscious Randolph on his horse, which is less than twenty miles away from the wall-rock fort, and there is time to deal with him on the road, as long as he makes sure that he does not breathe before reaching the wall-rock fort!"
At this moment, the earth trembled violently, and a black subway wall pressed sharply towards this side!"Attention! It's the Falcon cavalry!" Someone shouted "Flutter!" A terrifying white line burst out from the galloping cavalry cluster, and the cavalryman known as Rastanley was shot through the thigh with an arrow, blood splattered, and a bloody arrow pierced through his mouth, and he wanted to run on his horse, plop, and a second white feather arrow shot in from his shoulder, and then a third ...... "Rastanley!" The captain of the guard was stunned by the sudden situation in front of him, turned his head to look, his face suddenly turned pale, he didn't expect the Falcon Cavalry to advance so fast, it was simply an iron wall of killing that was expanding rapidly, so that it occupied all of his field of vision!
Wrapped in a metal covering, only two eyes like a giant beast of the strong war horse, the whole body of the silver shining, the black cavalry on it is like a demon god rushing out of the hell netherworld, "Kill!" The cold light was everywhere, the bloody head fell from mid-air, and the infantry group in front of it was directly crushed by the galloping horse hooves and countless feet trampling, as if the flood embankment was opened, "Kill!" The black-armored cavalry urged the horse to kill. The heavy armor advance was unstoppable! The team in front was instantly overwhelmed. Following the front assault blades, thousands of cavalry followed, and the Imperial spear array was crushed by the cavalry. Everywhere I heard the snapping of spears. The cavalry fully pounced on the hastily arranged array, retreated on all fronts, and the rout was irretrievable,
"Quick, retreat!" The captain of the escort cavalry panicked, and turned around with his subordinates and ran away
"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh!" Crossbow arrows kept shooting at the fleeing escort cavalry, and the cavalrymen let out a miserable scream one by one and planted themselves from their horses, and the black-armored cavalry behind followed closely like wolves, and the uniforms of the general's guards were too conspicuous, how could the falcon cavalry, who had always been accustomed to grabbing gold coins, let such a gold coin of equal weight run away. For a while, the guards cavalry who were fighting around continued to gather, and even Hukochili was alarmed,
Looking at the endless rolling Falcon Imperial cavalry, the captain of the escort cavalry was so frightened that he didn't dare to run, and suddenly shouted loudly in the northwest dialect, "Don't fight, I surrender, surrender!, snap." The weapon was thrown to the ground, indicating that he had really surrendered, and the war horse began to slow down, "Fence up, don't shoot arrows!"
Hukochili heard a look of astonishment on his face. He shouted to the cavalrymen who had already drawn their bowstrings around them, and only after hearing his order did the Guards give up the idea of shooting them all
"Don't kill me, I captured the Gallic general Randolph. Here he is!" the captain of the Gallic General Guard, who had escaped death, hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground with his hands raised in the air, as he had been told by some rumors from outside. If you want to surrender to the Falcon Army, you must assume such a posture, and his subordinates quickly followed suit and knelt down a dozen people at once
Countless war horses swept past them with a parallel wind, and the Gallic general's guard captain and the cavalry of the guards under his command turned white with fright.
"You claim to have captured the Gallic general?"
A murderous and coercive voice asked, it was Hu Keqili who had come all the way, he was wearing a unique double-horned helmet on his head, and behind him was a cloak as red as human blood, and the long war knife in his hand hung down, and blood dripped from above to the ground, "My lord!" The Falcon Guards cavalry spread out to both sides like a tide in front of him, and this power alone made the cold sweat of the Gallic Guard captain kneeling there wet his back
Hukochili's gaze swept over the guard outfits of the dozen or so kneeling Gallic cavalry like a sword, and he was suddenly taken aback in his heart, "What's the situation, the Gallic General's Guards claim to have captured the Gallic General?" His eyes looked at a horse not far away, a middle-aged man wearing ordinary soldier armor was lying on horseback, there were red blood stains behind his head, it looked like he was either unconscious or dead, the middle-aged man's hanging hand revealed a large piece of gold-rimmed gemstone buckle that only a Gallic general-level commander could wear, this was a Gallic general Undoubtedly, but he didn't know that it was the commander of the legion that was ambushed
"You're the General's Guard, who is that guy right away! If there's a lie, I'll chop you to minced meat at once."
Hu Keqili asked in a cold tone, he had fought with the Gallic army not a hundred times, but seventy or eighty times, and it was the first time he had seen the most tenacious, known as the soul of the Gallic army, and the general guards who fought to the death shouted surrender, and they also arrested their own commanders and shouted surrender, it was too weird!
"He's Randolph, commander of the 12th Gallic Infantry Regiment."
The captain of the Gallic Guard Cavalry hurriedly said, and then a series of contents, which made Hu Kochili a little stunned, these guys are really not the real Gallic Empire general guards, they are actually mercenaries, because the generals of the Gallic regular army lost Yan zhòng in the Battle of the Southwest and the Battle of Rasti respectively, in addition to a large number of generals were captured, there were countless elite general guards who were either killed in battle, or captured,
These generals and guards are all real professional soldiers, they are all brave warriors in the army, ordinary soldiers can be recruited, but these real professional soldiers are trained from generation to generation, and the financial and human resources required are not something that the current poor Gallic Kyoto can afford.
Since he couldn't find the real general's guard, Derek, who had just presided over the Kyoto line, actually retreated to the second, he thought that the group with professional soldiers was not only the army, but also mercenaries, and those mercenaries who licked blood with knives and heads had a lot of elite soldiers, and these professional mercenaries with certain combat experience were no worse than the general's guards in terms of combat effectiveness.
But when it comes to loyalty, that's a different story, turning into a mercenary of the General's Guard. After all, it's mercenaries, they fight only for money. Hopefully they will be defeated at the moment. It is impossible to show the loyalty of a true Gallic soldier, and this guard who captured his general is a mercenary!
The battle ended in less than two hours, like a slaughter field, the corpses of countless Gauls, covering the endless horizon, the sea of blood reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the night fell, turning the world into pure white again. The snowflakes that drift in the night make the whole world lose sight
"Salsa"
There was a crisp sound of feet stepping on the snow outside the tent, the fat man put an order signed with his name next to him, the wind and snow that came at night made the Gaul scouts withdraw early, and after the army ambushed the 50,000 troops of Gaul, it did not return to Vernon as expected, but unexpectedly approached to the direction of the wall rock fort to a distance of fifteen miles, "Your Majesty!" Hukochili walked in from outside the tent, holding the report of the interrogation of the mercenaries in his hand, "Is the situation clear?" The fat man looked up at him. The black pupils were like stars, "Yes, very clear, that guy said everything word for word!" Hukochili looked excited, and handed the result of the inquiry in his hand to the fat man. He said, "At present, there are sixteen squadrons of the Gallic General's Guard in the Wall Rock Fort, each squadron is about 100 to 500 people, with a total number of 3,700 people, of which eleven squadrons are served by mercenaries. About two thousand or four hundred people, and the rest were real generals' guards or those generals' own personal guards" "Is the enemy's command post at the Wallrock Fort?" Ning Sheng asked
"That's right, Derek's general command post is in the Wallrock Fort, and about 150,000 Gallic troops are stationed on the road below the Wallrock Fort, and the Gauls have recast the defensive line in front of it, and behind it, only three temporary wooden walls have been built,"
"Are you saying that Derek sold them the identity of the General's Guard for a thousand gold coins?" the fat man who listened to Hukochi's report, his eyes lit up terrifyingly, and the corners of his eyebrows rose and asked rhetorically
"Yes, Derek, who has just risen to the top of the ranks, is in desperate need of money to strengthen his position, and some mercenaries are hoping to earn more money by getting a position in the army like the General's Guard. So......" Hukochili replied with his head bowed
"Derek is so anxious for quick success, taking the safety of the country's important generals like child's play, and using mercenaries as the general guards of the soul of the army, this is really the destruction of Gaul! It's a pity, the 200,000 Gallic army will be destined to fall in the Wall Rock Fort because of this villain!" The fat man flipped the report in his hand casually, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line, and the cold light shone brightly, and his mouth suddenly spit out a sentence that made Hu Keqili feel the cold hair stand up,
The 200,000-strong army fell in the Cliff Rock Fort! Has His Majesty already figured out how to close the net? Hu Kochili was a little shocked, although the ambush annihilated the two Gallic infantry regiments, but did not ambush the Gallic main force to the Cliff Rock Fort, that is to say, the strength of the Gauls in the Cliff Rock Fort, is still strong.
"Pass this order to Statunko in front of Wallrock Fort!" The fat man picked up the order book that had already been written on the table, handed it to Hukochili, and said calmly, "What does your majesty mean?" Hukochili's face was a little stunned
The fat man smiled slightly, "His southern army is now strong and strong, and has been clamoring to counterattack the wall rock fort, but I have been pressed and has not moved, originally wanted to wait for me to ambush the main force of Gaul before counterattacking, and now I am as he wishes, starting tomorrow, the southern army will begin to fight against the wall rock fort" "From tomorrow, our army will take the rear to swim and make every effort to cut off the connection between the wall rock fort and Kyoto from the back"
"Your Majesty thinks that the supply line of the wall rock fort is in Kyoto?" Hu Keqili is also a famous general who has been in battle for a long time, and immediately reacted,
"What do you say!" the fat man said in a condensed voice as he looked at the scattered snow falling on the ground outside. You have been stationed in Biyan Fort, you should know that although Biyan Fort is dangerous, but the disadvantage is that the area is too small, and it is barely enough to garrison 10,000 or 20,000 people, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 troops stationed, and there are too few places that can be used as storage in that style, and the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is calculated in 10,000, which is not a joke, I am sure that the supply line of Biyan Fort is definitely controlled by Kyoto, because since Gaul Kyoto dares to release this huge army of 200,000 people, it will definitely not be unrestrained.
"In less than two days, the wall rock fort that found that the supply has been cut off will be lively!" "If the main force of Gaul gives up the wall rock fort, regardless of the offensive of the frontal Southern Army, and makes a desperate effort to fight back, we are only afraid that we will ......" Hu Keqili hesitated a little "Haha, do you think they still have a chance to kill back to Gallic Kyoto?"
The fat man laughed, patted Hukoqili on the shoulder with his hand, and Hukoqili looked dazed when he smiled.
What does this mean, although the frontal offensive of the Southern Army can create some pressure, as long as the Gauls dare to be willing to give up the wall rock fort, the withdrawal of most of the troops may definitely be there.
But His Majesty the Falcon was so confident...... Hu Keqili's heart was also shaking, could it be that there was something more terrible than a killer who could not be killed?" "Believe me, they won't have another chance to kill back to Gallic Kyoto!" the fat man snorted in an accentuated tone, and a chilling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth (to be continued......
