Huqi City, the capital of the Hukka Kingdom, covers an area of more than ten miles, has nearly one million people, is the largest and most prosperous city in the north, and one of the most prosperous cities on the mainland. People come and go, the river is endless, shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, shops are lined up, peddlers and pawns are all over the street, and countless shouts and selling voices converge into a special song.
As dusk approaches, the sun is like blood, and people who have been busy all day at work can finally relax, walking on the street in groups, breathing fresh air, and venting the fatigue accumulated after a day's work.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of city defense officers and soldiers galloped past, shouting at the same time: "According to the order of the king, the city of Huqi will be under martial law immediately, and the idle people will go home immediately, and they shall not go to the street without permission, otherwise, they will be punished for the crime of great rebellion." ”
The great sin of treason is the sin of rebellion, and it is one of the most severe punishments.
As if a footnote to the city defense army, a group of officials carried a thick stack of notices posted around the street, the content of which was martial law, curfew, and the like.
Things came so suddenly, the people were at a loss, frightened and speechless, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to deal with it, a blank look.
There was another sound of horses' hooves, and a thousand-strong squad of the city defense army galloped in, shouting: "Give you five minutes to go home!" Those who don't go home for five minutes will be arrested immediately! ”
The common people, who did not know what was happening, did not have the heart to think about what was happening, so they fled back and ran faster than a rabbit. After a while, there was no one on the originally overcrowded street, and it was quiet.
As soon as the streets were vacated, the officers and men of the city defense brigade opened up the city walls and stepped up the repair of the city. Transporting military supplies, arrows, equipment, etc. It's busy. A pre-battle tension quickly enveloped the city.
The common people hiding at home looked at the busy city defense army, and a ridiculous thought rose in their hearts - "there is going to be a war", and then they shook their heads and guessed, "Who to fight?" Could it be that someone is rebelling? "It looks like I'm going to believe it.
Hugh Chee City has not fought a war on a small scale since it had a small mutiny fifty years ago, and it is naturally more difficult to convince the common people that it is naturally more difficult to fight in the capital, and under the inertia of history, they can only think of it as a rebellion and a mutiny.
※※※
The timing of Feng-Hua Ming's attack could not have been more correct, and it was when Pajnge was not lined up at all. That's when he's at his most vulnerable.
If an army enters a state of engagement without forming a formation, its overall strength will not be brought into play, and some can only be the individual behavior of soldiers and the combat ability of individual soldiers.
No matter how strong an army is in individual combat capability, it has no formation and is attacked by an army with a complete formation and even if its individual combat ability is very poor, the chances of victory are pitiful. What's more, the Purple Cloud Legion commanded by Feng-Hua Ming is one of the main legions of the Blue Moon Empire, and its individual combat ability is definitely strong enough. If you have a full formation and attack with all your might. Pakinki's army was in a hurry, there was no complete formation, and many of the defeated soldiers who retreated for thousands of miles did not even have weapons in their hands, although their morale was high and they were full of hatred, they could not do much.
According to common sense, this must be the case, but Feng Hua Ming's opponent is Parkinki, who has a rare military talent, and in addition to his cool head, calm Envi, he also has the charm to arouse the soldier's will to sacrifice his life and death.
For the possible actions of Feng Huaming, Parkinch already had a plan, and the saber pointed at the Purple Cloud Legion, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the enemy is right in front of you, use your hatred to cover the enemy!" "Rushed ahead of the charge.
It was an extremely tragic battle, with one side having excellent equipment, a complete formation, and a talented commander; The other side also has a genius commander and unprecedented morale, which can completely make up for their shortcomings of having no weapons and no formation.
The Purple Cloud Legion, under the command of Feng Huaming, used the battle formation to launch a death charge against the army of the Jingtang Kingdom again and again, the neat queue was like a hemp pole moving on the plain, and the dazzling sabers glittered in the sunlight, making it difficult to open people's eyes. Wherever the army went, the army of the Jingtang Kingdom fell in pieces like cutting straw, and wherever the Ziyun Army went, there must have been a sea of corpses and blood.
This is purely a one-sided massacre, if in the past, the Jingtang army would have fallen apart in the face of such a bloody massacre, however, today it is completely different, under the inspiration of Pakinki, not only did they not have the slightest idea of escaping, but instead rushed to the enemy desperately, using their own chest to turn the enemy's sharp saber into a blunt knife with a curling blade, and using their own flesh and blood to consume the enemy's physical strength, energy, fighting spirit and will.
Whoever has a weapon uses a weapon, and whoever has no a weapon uses a stone, and whoever has no stone uses a fist, tooth, and chest. A few charges down, the city of Sepu was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the blood and water that had not had time to soak in the dust merged into streams, flowing noisily, and the piled corpses could build more than a dozen city walls.
Feng Hua Ming rolled in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain countless times, and it was impossible for any bloody scene to shake her will, however, the madness of the Jingtang army's deathless made her heart palpitate, looking up at the sky, a round of scorching sun was raging overhead, and she secretly thought to herself: "When will this kind of massacre end?" ”
Her beautiful phoenix eyes looked at the bloody, galloping across the board, and was loudly boosting morale, and muttered, "That's a madman!" ”
The war horse under her crotch was bumped, and she almost fell off the horse, but it turned out that she was stepping on the corpse, and Feng-Hua Ming clamped the horse's belly before she stabilized.
I don't know if the sharpness of the Jingtang army has been exhausted, or if there is another reason, the crazy attack at the beginning is no longer there, although the offensive continues, that frenzy has weakened a lot.
When the beautiful phoenix eyes of Feng-Hua Ming turned, he saw that the Jingtang army had formed one phalanx after another under the command of Parkinki, and the formation was so tight and complete that only a super-level commander could arrange it, which could be said to be perfect.
"This person must not let him live in the world, otherwise, he will become the biggest henchman of my Blue Moon Empire." Feng Huaming thought so in his heart, and personally led a team of cavalry to rush over, wanting to "capture the thief and capture the king first" and kill Parkinch.
The most unexpected thing that made Feng-Huaming happen was that her cavalry was no longer so free to advance and retreat when they charged, and many cavalrymen were bumped because of their crotch horses stepping on the corpses, and the knights fell off their horses. Feng Hua Ming's beautiful phoenix eyes like diamonds swept around, and Li Yi beside her saw a trace of astonishment flash in Feng Hua Ming's eyes.
"A hundred feet back!" Feng-Hua Ming gave the order eagerly.
Countless corpses were stacked on the ground, creating unevenness that was not conducive to cavalry charges. In the novel, it is an exaggeration to say that the horse's hooves can trample the corpses to pieces, even if it can, it is only for a small number of corpses, if there are too many, tens of thousands of corpses are lying on the ground in a mess, and the more than 20,000 cavalry of Feng-Huaming are exhausted and don't want to step on the pulp, not to mention, there is no time to complete such a meaningless thing. Feng Huaming ordered to retreat a hundred zhang, because he wanted to leave the battlefield that disturbed the corpses and go to the open field, so that he could give full play to the power of the cavalry.
Feng Huaming's opportunity was not unpleasant, it was still too late, and Pakinch commanded the Jingtang army to press up on the Ziyun Army in a battle formation.
The Jingtang army under the command of Pakinki changed its previous procrastination style, moved like the wind, and was as fast as fire, and in a blink of an eye, it was behind the Ziyun Army. Feng-Huaming's order to retreat became the fuse of failure, she never expected that the Jingtang army's actions would be so fast, if it was at the usual speed, she could completely withdraw the army to the open field.
This little miscalculation, if it were a different opponent, maybe it would not be a big problem at all, the problem is that Feng Huaming's opponent is a rare military genius Parkinki, and it is absolutely impossible to let go of this fleeting opportunity, he roared loudly, brothers, your heroic actions have paid off, and the enemy wants to escape. Brethren, not a single enemy will be allowed to escape! Kill! ”
In this case, who cares whether he retreats or escapes, not to mention that the Jingtang soldiers regarded Parkinge as a god, and did not doubt his words at all, shouted loudly, and chased after him like a hound's chasing an escaped rabbit, and caught up in an instant.
A long time later, when the historian studied this period of history, he sighed: "Parkinci created an incredible miracle of racing, and it is a great miracle that a two-legged man can catch up with a four-legged man." When Parkinge learned about it, he only said two words, "Nonsense!" ”
Feng Huaming explained after learning about it, "It is not an incomprehensible miracle, but the result of scientific and accurate calculations. There were too many corpses on the ground, and my cavalry retreated one by one, and they couldn't give full play to the advantage of speed at all, and the Jingtang army that relied on two legs naturally took advantage of it and could charge at full speed, so what is so strange about catching up with my cavalry? It's so rare and weird! Boring statement! ”
In the final analysis, there are too many corpses on the ground, so many that the cavalry cannot exert their power. This was all caused by Pakinki, who drove the unarmed defeated soldiers to their deaths, and used their corpses to create favorable battlefield conditions for him. Therefore, some historians accuse Parkinge of being a cruel and butcher.
In the face of such accusations, Parkinch was silent, took off his hat, looked south, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Former opponent and now friend, Feng Hua Ming, defended Parkinki, saying: "Standing and talking does not hurt his back, and in that case, he has no choice but to use the corpse to create favorable battlefield conditions." Needless to say, this is a very unfortunate thing for individuals, but for Jingtang Kingdom, it is a necessary means that there is no choice, and any military commander with a cool head will do that.
