July 5th. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pursued by the Imperial Army, the rebel group retreated to the Yongcheon area.

The entire Ionian landscape is surrounded by mountains, bounded by the Ionian Mountains in the middle, with many plateaus and forests in the north and plains and rivers in the south.

Hundreds of years ago, however, two branches stretched out at the end of the Oniya Mountains on the eastern coast of Sasha Province. Two small mountain ranges stand next to each other, forming a canyon in the middle, and the first settlements have emerged with abundant water and soil.

Since then, it has been called Ryucheon, which means "rising mountain".

Today, the main part of the two mountains has been covered by alluvial plains. Only a few hills are lined up on either side, which became an important waterway during the rainy season, but today they are just a dry river valley.

Relying on their ability to maneuver at high speeds, the Imperial Army pursued the vanguard to the exit of the river valley. In front of him, a large number of rebels are fleeing inside, as if they are about to turn themselves into turtles in an urn.

However, on the hills on both sides, a small number of rebel activities were found, and it seemed that positions had been set up.

This seems to be an ambush.

The commander of the vanguard was well aware of the truth of the poor and did not pursue, and seeing this, he ordered the troops to rest and stand by.

In a few moments, the main forces of the Imperial Army scattered on both flanks quickly gathered here.

The Grand Commander of the garrison of the city of Moldo, George. General Will counted the men and made an analysis of the situation in front of him.

The rebels had disappeared for more than a month, but Imperial intelligence had evidence that they had not left the southern mountains, let alone any signs of being there.

This shows that even if there is an ambush in front of us, it is only a temporary arrangement by the rebels. Moreover, they were only good at guerrilla tactics and lacked heavy equipment, so even if they occupied the favorable terrain for a while, it seemed that there was nothing to fear.

Moreover, this place is not actually a good ambush site. With low mountains on both sides and a wide valley in between, it was worth the risk of a large army compared to the results to be gained.

Suddenly, General George made a decision. The drums of war were beating, the flags were dancing, and two light cavalry brigades were the first to enter the valley.

The rainy season in southern Ionia is still a month away, when the mud cracks in the valley and the horse's hooves trample it, and a lot of smoke and dust are immediately rolled up.

Before engaging in battle, they lost their vision first. As a commander, not being able to see the overall situation inevitably gave rise to concern, and General George frowned.

At this moment, the rebels deployed on the ridges on both sides launched an attack.

Scattered arrows, rolling rocks.

This ambush tactic was also decent, but unfortunately they had limited troops and were not fully prepared for the ambush. In this way, the results naturally need not be said.

Two cavalry brigades, almost undamaged. A group of Imperial warriors rushed deep into the valley in billowing smoke and dust, gradually engulfing the main force of the rebels who had not yet withdrawn.

After a while, the sound of shouting and killing came from inside. The two armies are already at war, and the situation seems to be more rosy than imagined.

These two cavalry brigades came on a long journey, and because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, they also made many detours along the way.

However, in this pursuit, the soldiers of the Imperial Army only worked on their hips, and the rebels fled almost entirely on two legs.

At this point, the Imperial cavalry was unable to launch an effective charge, and the defensive front formed by the resistance was full of holes.

Defeat with one blow!

More than 10,000 rebel troops were crowded together, and the chaotic position was faced with the impact of 400 Imperial cavalry again and again. The scene was like a pack of hungry wolves in a flock, and it was indescribably miserable.

No one can describe it, because the whole valley is full of smoke and dust, and the battlefield is completely obscured inside.

But judging by the voices that came out, the rebels should have been miserable.

The shouts of killing continued to sound, and the soldiers of the main force of the Imperial Army waiting outside showed unbearable expressions.

As a soldier of the Empire, the battlefield is a place of glory. Southern Ionia has fallen, and this rebel army is not only the last enemy, but also the last chance for countless Imperial soldiers to make a difference.

George. Will didn't say a word, just waited quietly.

Four hundred against ten thousand, regardless of the course of the battle, it seems that there can only be one result.

After about ten minutes, the fighting in the valley gradually subsided. No matter how bad the rebel army is, there is no reason for it to be wiped out by the four hundred imperial army. So, the results speak for themselves.

At this time, a smile began to appear on General George's face.

In his eyes, the two cavalry brigades were pawns, used to test the possible ambush of the rebels in the area and their true combat strength.

Ten minutes of battle gave the general a satisfactory answer in his heart.

All the army is attacking!

He didn't care about the lives of the 400 Imperial soldiers who were pawns, and the only thing he cared about at the moment was that no one of the rebels would leave here alive in this battle.

The heavy cavalry dismounted one after another, and a part of them lined up in front, acting as the meat shield of the heavy warriors. The rest were scattered around forming a circle, with pikemen following closely behind, and archers in the center.

The entire formation was like an iron bucket, neither the ambushes of the rebels on the hills on either side nor the limited long-range attacks of their main forces posed any threat.

Once the battle began, they could only withstand the attacks of the Imperial army unilaterally. If they want to escape, haha, not to mention that the few days of running away have exhausted them, and the only exit from this valley is the sea.

In this battle, the people of the empire must not only win, but also win beautifully.

George. Will wants to prove to the Imperial War that it is easy to take out the rebels. The 400 light cavalry sent out earlier must have been the only battle loss of our army in today's battle.

It was dusk, and the wind blowing from the sea in the valley carried a hint of coolness and a fishy smell.

General George took a deep sniff, already showing a smug look, and said quietly: "It's good, I smell the smell of killing." ”

The main army penetrated deep into the valley and soon passed the place where the battle had taken place.

The soft soil was soaked in blood, and the surface was dark.

Four hundred Imperial cavalrymen had been killed, and corpses were littered. However, not a single body of the rebels was left here.

The rebels taking their horses with them may have given some people a better chance of escaping, but they also added a lot of burdens to themselves by taking away the dead allies.

Hmph, that's stupid.

George. Will was even a little angry, feeling that the rebels' stupid behavior was like a soldier, and he was simply unworthy of being his enemy.

"Hehe, this is self-defeating."

Sure enough, a few minutes ahead, the sound of waves on the beach could already be heard in front of me. The rebels finally appeared in view, and the black pressure was all climbing up the mountains on both sides.

"I want to run away now, hmph, it's too late!"

The terrain of the valley is not conducive to the movement of large armies. By the time he discovered that the rebels' escape route was pointing to this place, General George had already sent two separate cavalry units to pursue them along the mountains on either side.

At this time, there were 1,000 Imperial troops on each side waiting for the rabbit.

When the rebels climbed over the mountain, they only entered a larger net.

The battle has not yet begun, and the outcome is already predestined.
