Chapter 1322: Political Correctness

Varan also showed a look of horror, what kind of enemy is this, and at this time, they can still launch a final charge. But Valan will not be afraid, he deeply understands that on the battlefield, whoever is afraid first will become the ghost under the sword, "Warriors of Germany, raise up your weapons and put away your mercy. This is a wicked group of heretics, they are the people of Satan, fight, and the light of God shines on us forever. ”

The Germanic soldiers raised their weapons and shouted as if to summon God, they believed in God and believed in glory, so God's people would be blessed and this battle would be won. A gust of wind raged, and dead leaves fell from the branches, and each leaf, like a cold knife, scraped the men's faces. The two deadly torrents collided together, composing a bright red chapter of prosperity.

The earth is crying, the four fields are sad, where will the lonely souls go? There is no hell, there is no heaven, because both the land and the heaven are for the living. When the Dingguo army no longer retreated, it was destined to end with a river of blood, and when the Lei River fell, what he saw in his eyes was the last scenery, withered yellow birch leaves, gloomy sky, faint sunlight, the first snow in the fifth winter of Taikang, was coming soon, but he was going to go forever. I want to see the snow of the Istrian Highlands again, snow-capped, wrapped in plain clothes between heaven and earth, who will decorate the vast rivers and mountains, who will write the former homeland, life will die, for life, for family, for freedom, for Guanzhong, for the eternal regent in my heart.

In the northern valley of Foyanling, Zheng Changge was commanded to come to the high slope and personally command further offensive and defensive battles. After noon, the Germans seemed to have taken some medicine, the resistance was very fierce, the soldiers on both sides launched several rounds of attacks were all beaten back, at this time the Germans had launched a comprehensive counterattack on the high slopes on both sides, and in the valley, there were also a large number of Germanic cavalry rushing to kill. Zheng Changge had a not-so-good feeling in his heart, are the Germanic people crazy? As far as I know, in the entire Foyanling area, the Germans only have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now the Germanic people have invested more than 4,000 troops, and the number is still increasing. The attack on the northern valley road was to attract the attention of the Germans, but no one expected that the Germans would be so crazy that they would tilt almost all their forces to the north, and if something happened, a feint would probably turn into a dogfight.

Zheng Changge was thinking about why the Germans would fight back so abnormally, and there was a noise and scolding in the distance, which directly disrupted Zheng Changge's thoughts, and when he turned his head to look, Zheng Changge frowned tightly, a person who looked like a general was clashing with his own guards. Han Bypass worked hard and worked hard to get to Gudao, but he didn't expect to be stopped by these blind-eyed commanders and guards, "You dogs, something big is going to happen, Lao Tzu's waist Commander Zheng, do you hear?" ”

Hearing Han Bypass's scolding, Zheng Changge had no choice but to walk over quickly, and asked with a displeased expression, "Who are you?" This general is Zheng Changge, the commander of the fourth battalion of the First Army, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. ”

Han Bypass was shocked in his heart, and quickly put away his arrogant posture, and bowed his hand, "Commander Hui Zheng, the deputy commander of the First Army of the last general, Han Bypass, and the previous general and Lei Jiang were ordered to lead five hundred soldiers to garrison the eastern birch forest. Just two hours ago, a Germanic army came from the south, the number was not less than 1,500, Lei Dutong had already led people to resist, but the form was a little bad, and I hope that Commander Zheng will order the withdrawal of the army quickly, otherwise the back road of the valley road will be blocked, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Zheng Changge's expression changed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, now that everything is clear, no wonder the Germans will fight back regardless of the cost, it turns out that they have already sent people to block the back road. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zheng Changge did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered, "Order all units to gradually withdraw from the battle, and throw all the fire-starting objects prepared before into it, be sure to block the pursuit of the Germans, and everyone immediately evacuate to the northeast." ”

Zheng Changge's order was soon given, and after receiving the order to retreat, the troops quickly placed the rolling logs and the still dead grass on the valley road and the hillside, and soon after, a large fire broke out in the valley road, forming a long wall of fire. Seeing this wall of fire, Sugers shouted angrily, but he still had hope, as long as Valan led his troops to block the opponent's back and delay for a moment, he could still completely annihilate this invading enemy. The battle of the northern valley road was full of too many variables, and Varan finally came to the valley road, but due to the appearance of Han Bypass, Zheng Changge's main force retreated early, so Varan still pounced. Looking at the messy valley road, where there was still a trace of the Orientals, Varan angrily pulled out his broadsword and slashed at the boulder next to him, erasing the bursts of sparks, "Why is this happening, Lao Tzu worked so hard and died so many people, but let the Orientals run away." ”

No one can answer Valan, just as no one knows whether God exists or not. On the other side, Zheng Changge's main force has been withdrawn to the northeast station, before he has time to rest, at this time, Zheng Changge's dignified commander sat on the ground without imagination and gasped for breath, he knew very well in his heart that it was really a fluke to be able to escape this time, if it wasn't for Han Bypass's desperate fight to get out of the encirclement and send the news, I'm afraid that nearly 5,000 troops would have died in the northern valley road now. Unfortunately, Lei Jiang and the hundreds of soldiers stationed in the birch forest were not spared, and all of them became the ghosts of the Germanic people. If there was any good news, it was that after a bloody battle, most of the energy of the Germanic garrison at Foyanling was drawn to the north. After this battle, it was no longer possible for the First Army to launch a surprise attack on Foyanling, nor could it continue to storm the north, Zheng Changge glanced at the direction of Vilnius, "General, there is only so much that the last general can do, whether you can withdraw or not can only depend on yourself." ”

Zheng Changge also wanted to continue to attack Foyanling, but the task of the First Army was to confuse the Germans, and the real intention was to rush south to aid the city of Kiev. This time the strong attack on Gudao, coupled with the battle of White Birch Forest, the First Army has lost nearly 2,000 soldiers. In the northern valley, Varan looked at Sugus in front of him and couldn't say anything. Sugers couldn't blame Valan, Valan's department had already appeared behind the valley road at the scheduled time, but after a thousand calculations, he missed Zheng Changge's decisiveness, and he was able to retreat without the slightest hesitation, which not everyone could do. In order to organize this counterattack, too many troops were invested, and due to the strong attack on Gudao, a total of nearly 4,000 soldiers were lost before and after, and now the garrison of Foyanling has become a semi-crippled state.

"Send a message to His Majesty Lothair, Foyanling has lost a lot of strength after the battle of Gudao, and it is urgent to replenish the troops, otherwise our department will not be able to guarantee the defense of all parts of Foyanling" Sugers was a little scared, the battle of Gudao brought a series of impacts, first of all, the defense of the south. There were holes in the overall defense, and the Vilnius garrison could well take advantage of the opportunity to break through. The lack of troops cannot be supplemented by strategy, not to mention that the First Army is blocked in the northeast direction and will attack again at any time, and it will not dare to transfer troops to the south at all. Speaking of which, it is a bit embarrassing to ask for reinforcements at this time, but compared with face, military affairs are more important. He had already asked for reinforcements, and if Lothair did not send reinforcements, then if he let go of the Vilnius garrison, it would not be his responsibility alone.

Suggs asked for reinforcements, but at this time Lothair had no time to pay attention to Suggs's request, and since noon, the Germanic army has once again launched a fierce attack on the city of Vilnius, surrounded on all sides, and the ladder and trebuchet are all together, this time the attack is more fierce than yesterday. In order to get Vilnius, Lothair tried everything he could, even using the ladder and trebuchet together. The trebuchet had a large error in its accuracy, and it was not surprising that the Germanic soldiers were attacking the city with a ladder, and it was not surprising that they were so close to the head of the city. Now, after the continuous washing of trebuchets, the inside and outside of the city wall are filled with the smell of stinking and baking, and in the face of cow dung soup, no one on either side is spared. Fortunately, Lothair still has some conscience and did not use stones on a large scale, otherwise the Germanic soldiers would really have to scold their mother.

Under the indiscriminate blows of the Germans, Ren Phenol and the others could only order the soldiers to resist stubbornly. Rolling wood, fire oil, and boiling water were all sprinkled, and the Germans suffered heavy casualties, but the crazy Germanic soldiers still did not stop attacking, and groups of people pounced on them. The Dingguo Army is also human, in the face of this mad dog-style fight, the casualty number rises linearly, Noki Kraft's face is blue, and his left arm is also tied with a thick bandage, "General, you must withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's too late." The Germans were fucking mad, stepping on corpses and rushing upwards, halfway down the city. ”

The mountain of corpses, what a terrible scene, but under the city of Vilnius, it is really happening. After the Germanic people died, those who were alive piled up the corpses directly under the city, and piled them up little by little, becoming a corpse wall, and when this mountain of corpses was piled up to a certain extent, the ladder could not pass the city. The terrible Germanic people, they are the demon gods who crawled out of hell.

Look at the sky, it is already evening, and in half an hour, the sky will be completely dark, Yerusha finally nodded heavily, "Withdraw, notify the people in the city to start preparations, all departments will act according to the source plan, and launch a breakthrough on time tonight." ”

The order to retreat was given, Ren Feng and the others were relieved, and the defenders on the surrounding city walls threw out the things in their hands and fled in a hurry. As the night darkened, the Germans finally laid down the walls and seized the gates. A new round of street fighting began, and when they entered Vilnius, the Germans realized that the fighting in the city was no easier than the siege. A gray-haired Germanic youth leads a ten-man detachment, whose goal is to clear an alley to the east, which is cloudy and lifeless in the night. As soon as the team entered the alley, they heard a cat meow, and then many figures appeared at both ends of the alley, and in an instant the squad was blocked in the alley, arrows flew, and the sudden attack, this Germanic squad did not have time to break through, and they were all killed. On the other side, a team of 100 people formed two long snake formations to slowly clear a street. Mark was about to push open the door of a shop when he saw a light coming from the front of him, and after a closer look, he saw a group of people approaching with torches, and a soldier dressed in a centurion's costume, with a large pie face and a head full of yellow hair. Mark suddenly relaxed his guard, and after making trouble for a long time, it was his own people, and he thought that it was the sneak attack force of the Orientals. After entering the city, Mark suffered a lot, if it wasn't for his fate, he would have been stabbed in the head with a short knife, but fortunately, he reacted quickly at the time. Placing his broadsword on the ground, Mark beckoned to the centurion, "Brother, which regiment are you from, and aren't we in charge of this street?" ”

The yellow-haired man bared his teeth and spoke in a fluent Germanic language, "We belong to Lord Unante, and we are ordered to go to the east, and this is your territory, and we have no interest. But a word of caution, there are a lot of Orientals hiding nearby, be careful of them sneaking up on you, just a brother has set the road on the road. ”

Mark nodded, his heart relaxed a lot, as long as he didn't rob the trade, there were rules in the army, half of the things looted in the search belonged to him, if these people were also coming to this street, wouldn't they give them a part of the loot? Mark walked towards the centurion with a smile on his face, "Thank you, brother, for reminding me, Lord Unant is a celebrity in front of Lord Dolle, so naturally he doesn't look down on that little business." I'll tell you, just now we we.... Forehead.... You...."

Mark couldn't say any more after he said it, his eyes widened, and he looked at the strong centurion in front of him, he didn't understand why this strong man would suddenly kill his own people. At the moment of death, Mark finally saw the face of the person who came, at this moment, he understood everything, what kind of centurion is this, this is a typical Slavic strong man's face, but unfortunately the sky is too dark, the fire is shining, and he can't tell it from so far away. Mark died unwillingly, and he escaped so many sneak attacks, but this time he sent it to the door for others to kill. As soon as Mark died, the streets suddenly became a pot of porridge, because both sides were wearing Germanic soldier armor, and in the end, the Germanic soldiers themselves were blindfolded, sometimes shouting a Germanic word while beating each other, but as soon as they stopped, the other party showed a hideous face. Such a scene is everywhere, the whole city of Vilnius is in chaos, their own people are killing their own people, and they are also killing the enemy, and everyone is not sure who is the real one of their own people.

Yerusha's method of taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack is not clever, and this happened in the offensive and defensive battles of the city and the street battles in the market. The only thing to blame is that the Germanic people have too little experience in street fighting, and they don't have enough temporary adaptability, if they had formulated the code early and marked their own armor, they would not have been chaotic to this extent. Vilnius City was in shambles, and there was a lot of fighting everywhere, even if Lothair couldn't do anything for a while. In desperation, he could only order a regrouping, as long as the soldiers and horses were assembled, those impostors would not dare to mix in, but the consequence of this was that there were defensive loopholes everywhere, and Yerusha's department took the opportunity to attack the south gate, and only a moment later, they opened the south gate and left, and the south city was tossed by the Dingguo army, and it also fell into a chicken feather. Lothair was so angry that he almost didn't cut down the commander guarding the south gate, "Waste, it's really waste, you won't see it clearly, people shouted a few words, and you let your guard down." ”

The commander was also very unconvinced, why blame him, if there is no chaos in the city, there can be no chaos on the city wall, who shouted to gather troops in the first place? Damn, now that something has happened, it's all on someone else's head. Lothair's anger was not smooth, and the chief of the personal guard hurriedly ran over, "Your Majesty, Foyanling is in a hurry." ”

Lothair snorted angrily, just glanced at it, almost didn't take a breath, suffocated, his hands trembled, and the letter fell lightly to the ground. After relieving himself for a long time, Lothair suddenly raised his foot and kicked his chief guard to the ground, "You idiot, why didn't you say such important news earlier." Foyanling asked for reinforcements, and I didn't know until now that it was all over, and the Vilnius garrison was probably going to rush through Foyanling. ”

The chief of the guard couldn't say it, who knew that this was such an important military report at the beginning, besides, it had been reported before, but Lothair was busy attacking Vilnius City, and he didn't care much about it. Besides, he didn't dare to open and read the military newspaper without permission, and the consequence of doing so was only a dead end. Bysel couldn't stand it anymore, and Lothair was a little annoyed, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, no matter what, we have now taken Vilnius City, and as for those Easterners, they will flee if they flee." ”

Lothair sighed unwillingly, and so far, it can only be like this. Let's say that Yelusha and the others, after escaping from the city, fled directly to the east, and did not dare to stop for a moment, "Ren Phenol, you take people to open the way in front of you, and go directly to the south of Foyan Ling, the first army will attract most of the Germanic people to the north, this is the best time for us to pass through Foyanling." That old fox of Lothair will not let us go easily, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Germanic cavalry catches up. ”

Everything was as Jerusha had expected, and after half an hour, the Germanic people, who had ended the chaos, finally sent a cavalry of more than 2,000 men to chase them along the road. At this time, the southern part of the Foyan Mountains was not unmanned, and in order to give Lothair an explanation, Sugers still arranged a defensive force of more than 1,000 people in the southern valley of the Foyan Mountains. Ren Pheno took the lead in the cavalry to break into the valley road, and was subjected to a rain of arrows and flying stones, although the sky was dark, but Ren Pheno was not afraid, now most of the Germans were attracted to the north by the first army, how many people could stay in the southern valley road? Ren Phenol himself is a ruthless man, he was the first to turn over and dismount, pull out his saber and said angrily, "All dismount, leave the war horses to the people behind, you and I will rush up the high slope and destroy this group of guys who hide their heads and tails." ”

The Germans on both sides were stunned for a moment, this group of Orientals had a problem with their brains, and a group of cavalry could rush over along the valley road, why did they dismount and become infantry? I didn't expect this situation beforehand, everyone still wanted to take the opportunity to secretly cause some trouble for the other party, who would have thought that the other party's commander was a mad dog, and this time it was a fire. Ren Pheno personally led the troops to attack, although he lacked a protective shield, but he scattered the formation, coupled with the Germanic people's unwillingness to fight, he quickly rushed forward. The Germanic people have the mind to cry, and they are just engaged in a sneak attack, but they provoked such a group of mad dogs, these Germanic people know very well the situation in Foyanling, with the current strength, it is wishful thinking to prevent the Oriental people from withdrawing from Foyanling, since there is no hope of blocking, there will be no one desperate to fight. After resisting for a moment, the Germans left more than two hundred corpses and fled into the mountains in a gray manner, allowing Ren Phenol to occupy the high slopes of the valley road and did not pursue deeply.

About half an hour later, Jerusha's main force finally arrived, Jerusha left Zig behind, Zigg and Ren Phenol led more than 3,000 people to ambush on both sides of the valley road, after the Germanic cavalry pursued, in an instant, all the flying stones and arrows were all hailed. This group of Germanic cavalry was beaten and scurried, and now the Germanic people finally understood what it means to be poor and chase, and the rabbits are anxious and bite people, not to mention a group of wolf-like Dingguo army.

Lothair successfully defeated Vilnius City, but for this Vilnius City plus a series of battles in Foyanling, a total of 15,000 Germanic warriors were lost. The Vilnius garrison only paid more than 3,000 casualties, which was not even half of the casualties of the Germanic warriors. It was said to be a victory, not a victory, anyway, Lothair was as disgusting as eating a fly in his heart. However, Lothair never imagined that the war was far from over when he thought the war in Vilnius was over. Lothair forgot that you can take the initiative to start a war, but it is not up to you to decide in what form the war will end. Since the Battle of Vilnius, many actions have been made around the city, first the First Army approached Foyanling, and secondly, Yang Zaixing's troops and the Second Army began to approach the city of Psk, and only two days later, they met with the headquarters of Yorkollen, who was stationed on the Ryazan River. When the two sides met, there was nothing to say, it was an earth-shattering battle. The cavalry vanguard under the personal command of Yang Zaixing was only 8,000, while the garrison on the Ryazan River was 10,000, and the two sides launched a large-scale cavalry confrontation near the Ryazan River.
