Just when the whirlwind from the Tengger steppe swept across the vast plains in the western part of the unsuspecting Sislo Empire, the Northwest Army, which had long been ready to go, was also eagerly waiting, just waiting for the last order. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dawn of dawn finally slowly climbs up to the treetops, the early birds are excitedly jumping and singing on the branches, occasionally catching and foraging, the early farmers have even begun to arrange their farm tools, making the final preparations for the busy day, and the smoke of the farmhouse rises in twos and threes, indicating that another busy day will be ushered in. There are no pedestrians on the official road yet, after all, in such comfortable weather, no one wants to stay in the bed for a while longer.
It was another wonderful early summer morning, and although there were frequent wars in this territory, the fertile land was still full of wheat fields, and the golden waves of wheat swayed gently with the breeze, symbolizing that this season was another difficult harvest year. Everything seemed so calm and serene, and there was no sign that this was still the Duchy of Gerlok under the control of the Kaman occupation army, and the arrival of the occupation army did not seem to bring more changes here, at least for now.
The armored officer stretched hard and looked back from the distance, "Well, it's time to get some rest." Muttering to himself, the officer slightly clamped the horse's belly and rode his horse back, "Brothers, you can go back to the camp, it's another safe day, the next class of brothers will come to take over soon, let's go back." ”
He was followed by a standard Kaman hundred, a typical mixed hundred-man squad with patrol duties, six infantry tens, three light cavalry tens, and one archery ten-man team, forming an organic patrol unit. After receiving the order of the commander, the soldiers who were on patrol alert breathed a sigh of relief, the front team quickly changed to the rear team, and the cavalry team also completed the adjustment in a short time, packed up the patrol formation, and began to embark on the return journey. Everything seems to be in an orderly and orderly manner, showing the excellent overall quality of this patrol.
Glancing at the west casually, and then to the west is the territory of the Tang River people, the above has ordered that in order not to irritate the Tang River people in the west, the patrol is forbidden to enter within ten miles of the border between the two sides, the officer corps is very dismissive of this order, if the Tang River people really want to provoke a war, no matter how they avoid it, it will not help, but do they have the ability?
He pursed his lips contemptuously, and a disdainful smile appeared on the officer's face, even though the paper tiger that is strong on the outside and dry in the middle is amazing, can it scare his own side that has been through the battle? However, I have heard that the lord of the Tang River in the northwest is not a good type, and I have also heard that he once fought with the Luope people on the Tengger grassland, I wonder if the Tang River people boast about themselves? It is very likely that the Tang River people will love face to death, and they can be blown by them at the slightest incident.
Shook his head, as if to shake off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, don't think about it so much, those are all things that are worrying about the above, with Lord Miley in command, I believe that Gerlok will soon become a part of the empire, just like the Jiama region, the corner of the officer's mouth slowly showed a smile, after this battle, I am afraid that I am expected to be promoted to the captain of the thousand people, right? Colleagues talk about qualifications and military merits, and no one seems to be able to compare with themselves, alas, they all blame themselves for this mouth, sometimes they don't know if they offend their bosses unconsciously, but this time it should definitely be their turn.
Well, the smiling faces of the wife and daughter seem to float in front of them again, and it has been more than half a year since they parted, and they don't know what the situation is at home, and they must compensate their wives well when they go back this time, and fulfill their obligations as husbands and fathers, I hope this battle can end sooner, and don't stay in this strange place for too long, although it looks pretty good here.
Just when the Kaman officer on horseback was thinking wildly, the 1st Cavalry Division of the Northwest Reading Force, which was 30 miles away, had completed the final assembly preparations, and 20,000 energetic armor soldiers were lined up, what a magnificent scene this was, Cui Wenxiu, who was the commander of the division, wore armor and a helmet, reined in with a halberd with one hand, and the divine light under a pair of eagle eyes was shining, waving his hand and saluting like a bell: "Report to the Envoy of the Jiedu, the 1st Cavalry Division of Reading Force has completed the whole team, please instruct!"
Trying to take a deep breath, in front of the same heavily armed Bladeless Solitary Sidewalk, a golden armor shining in the rising sun, like a golden armor demon god, enveloping the audience: "Brothers, the Empire's ally Gerok is in danger, once Gerok falls, the next victim will be our Northwest!
"Can't!"
"Can we, then, tolerate the aggressors trampling on the lands of our friendly neighbors?"
"Can't!"
Wu Feng's questioning voice full of infinite passion became louder and louder, the red tide on his face was flushed, the chest under the thick armor also fluctuated sharply, and even the war horse under the step was about to kick his hooves, obviously infected by the stirring atmosphere in front of him, 20,000 iron horsemen were arranged into five neat huge squares in the huge wilderness, accompanied by his incendiary gestures, Wu Feng's neutral voice set off a wave of earth-shaking responses in the field, and the soldiers who had already regarded Wu Feng as a god saw the bright and deep gaze of the commander sweeping over them, and they all felt that the commander's gaze reflected in the depths of their hearts, the long-hidden blood gushed out in a flash.
"Then what are we waiting for? Ahead is our battlefield, it is a great stage for our hot-blooded sons and daughters in the northwest to show their existence, for the honor of the empire, for the glory of our northwest, forward!"
As the division commander Cui Wenxiu took the lead in riding out, the huge cavalry phalanx was like a huge grinding disc, and like a meat grinder with a sharpened blade, it started slowly, and soon became two huge attack arrows in the endless wilderness, shooting towards the east.
The more than 20,000 figures of the cavalry division have not completely disappeared from view, and even the two mixed divisions have already stolen out of the sheath and wound up, ready to go, without making much arrangements, just a simple wave of their hands, more than 40,000 soldiers quickly spread out the formation according to the established plan, and quickly followed behind the cavalry comrades.
In the early morning of May 2, 695 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the battle for Gerok that shocked the mainland slowly kicked off in the border area between Guide and Gerook.
More than 20,000 iron horsemen swept up the wind and dust enough to set off a huge storm, and the whole land trembled and groaned under the trampling of tens of thousands of iron hooves, and every step forward brought up countless thick clumps of black soil, and no matter the villages, market towns, and everything else that dared to stand in their way, they would be crushed into powder under this indomitable iron hoof storm.
Even the air seemed to tremble slightly, and a huge sound immediately caused the officer who was riding his horse forward, and the war horse under his crotch sneezed uneasily, and he immediately made a gesture when he was surprised, and the whole team suddenly stopped and quieted, the leaves on the branches seemed to be suffering from malaria, making a rustling and trembling sound, alerting countless birds, and the expression of the officer who had been in battle for a long time suddenly became a little desperate, but just for that moment, a resolute look resurfaced on his face, and many years of experience in the battle formation were enough for him to judge what had happened。
There was no time to think and make any explanations, and the officer, whose face was slightly pale, took a long breath and immediately roared and issued an order: "The 1st Cavalry 10-man squad quickly returned to the camp to report, the enemy cavalry is attacking from the west, and the number is ominous!"
"The infantry team is lined up in a defensive formation, and the archers are lined up, and the direction is due west!"
"The 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Corps are divided into two wings and ready!"
Struggling to suppress the fluttering nervousness, the officer struggled to look into the western sky, and when a black line like a tidal wave across a levee appeared on the horizon, he completely gave up the last hope in his mind, "Damn the Tanghe people, if it's really them, how dare you do this!"
After a curse, his mood calmed down, and he angrily scolded his somewhat chaotic subordinates, but they also quickly understood that any action in this situation was futile, it was better to fight for their lives, get one more to earn, and the whole position was immersed in wordless silence for a while.
The black line that appeared on the horizon quickly changed from thin to thick, accompanied by the thunder of iron hooves moving in the wind and clouds, rolling up bursts of yellow clouds, and the black pressure swept like a tide.
Finally confirming the suspicion in his heart, the officer's heart relaxed for no reason, his eyes were level with the front, and his voice became low: "Brothers, cheer up, don't lose the face of our Kaman soldiers, and don't let the enemy underestimate the fearless might of our Kaman soldiers. Archers ready!"
In the face of such a large cavalry formation, no matter how great your ability is, how insignificant your personal strength seems here, in the face of the swarming iron cavalry, only a slight wave was rolled, and a few fragile shouts were annihilated in the endless tide of soldiers, just like a pile of sand dunes after a big wave, and there was no trace.
The peasants in the farmhouse had not even had time to understand something, and the cavalry swarms with incomparable momentum roared by, making them really feel what war is, what a real hero is, and with great fear and respect, they watched wave after wave of bears and tigers galloping and roaring forward, and secretly glad in their hearts that they had not done anything to them.
At this time, the Prime Minister of Kaman, Gomez, who was far away in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Budeli, the capital of Kaman, was puzzled by the urgent information he received: "The Motts raided the western part of Siathrow?
Seeing the Prime Minister's puzzled gaze looking at him, the middle-aged man who was sitting at the bottom of his hand hurriedly bowed and said: "The specific situation is still unclear, but it is said that some time ago, the Siathrow people had a little unpleasant trouble with the Motts because of the restriction on the number of strategic materials imported into the area controlled by the Motts, but it is not like it has reached the point of fighting each other, which is indeed a bit unexpected for us." ”
