Chapter 113: Parabun
When Vicente found the panting Du Fulong in the empty southern pasture, he had just joined the team of white horse guards sent out by Xiao Yan in advance, and the long pursuit and escape made the white horse guards around Du Fulong even if they merged with Xiao Yan, there were only about a thousand people left, and these thousand people were chased by more than 2,000 attendant knights all over the grassland.

When Vicente and Dufron were in charge, the White Horse Guard happened to be surrounded by the squire knights. He led five hundred dark hunters to raid the commander of the squire knights, and cut them down on the spot, only to relieve the siege for the white horse guards, and finally the two men and horses should join forces, and in turn killed the two thousand Swadia squire knights who were chasing behind.
In the afternoon of the same day, Du Fulong took the scarred White Horse Guard, followed Vicente, to our camp.
"Now, all our forces are concentrated. I spread out the map and said to the people in the tent: "Du Fulong, I will return to you all the white horse guards you gave me, uh, there are only more than 400 people left, sorry...... Now, then, we have fifteen hundred White Guards, 1,000 Rhodok crossbow scouts, 4,000 Rhodok hoplites, 2,000 Rhodok fortress snipers, fifteen hundred Black Knights, 1,200 Python Fangs and Dark Guards, 1,300 Eyes of Death, a total of 12,500 men, and on the Palauvan side, there are 10,000 garrisons, 12,000 palace guards, 5,000 Knights of the Blood Rose, and 5,000 field legions of Claes, a total of 32,000 men. At present, the ratio of forces between the enemy and us is roughly three to one...... We are one. ”
Du Fulong looked at me very resentfully, for a long time, and said: "It was my misjudgment that I didn't notice the variable of Claes, which caused us to fall into an extremely dangerous situation now, I'm sorry everyone's ......"
I smiled and waved my hand: "Old Du, you don't have to blame yourself so much, we didn't expect the variable of Clais, and similarly, the Paraven side did not anticipate the variable of my dark army, or rather, the Paraven side hasn't figured out the situation yet, I guess they don't even know how many of us there are." ”
That's right, so far the news of the fall of Fort St. Ruz Goda and Fort Rendi has obviously not reached Paravon, otherwise it would have been a frypan to come out of the city and search for it. At the moment, only Claes's field legion was searching outside, and he was fighting the regular army of Allah's Rhodok at one moment, and the horse bandits rampaging through the pastures, and he definitely couldn't figure out how many there were, and it was difficult to guess the connection.
I continued, "So, our extra variables, and Claes's temporary impoverishment of intelligence, are our strengths. What we want to do is amplify that advantage. ”
I looked at Allah and said, "Allah, how do you say he would react if the remnants of Rhodok, who had been crippled by Claes, suddenly appeared in his field of vision?"
Allah's face turned a little blue, and he said coldly: "You don't want to use our Rhodok warriors as bait!"
I shook my hand: "It's not a bait, it's definitely not! Is the combat effectiveness of the Rhodok army in our current situation, it is definitely not a burden that can be discarded, on the contrary, it has the power to lay the foundation of the battle." I said, Allah, are you so scared of Claes that you are afraid of revenge?"
Allah tilted his head: "You don't want to use words to bewitch me again!"
I smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, if the advantage of the terrain is used, the whole army of the Rhodok army is united as one, and there is a decisive battle with the current Claes, what do you think are the chances of victory?"
Ala Tie blushed, thought for a while, and said, "It won't be more than fifty percent." ”
I nodded: "Then the best outcome should be a stalemate, but if at this time, another heavy cavalry no less than the Swadia Royal Knight gave them a hard blow from behind, what do you think the chances of victory will be?"
Allah's eyes lit up: "If this is really the case, the odds should be about seventy percent." However, the Blood Rose Knights will not sit idly by and watch Claes be wiped out, if the battle is at a critical juncture, the Blood Rose Knights will step in, and the odds of victory will immediately fall to less than 30%. ”
I sighed, "The Blood Rose Knights, of course, are a force to be reckoned with, but what if they are stumped by something else at this time......? Assassination?"
Allah snapped up: "Emmons, you, where did you come up with so many sinister ideas!"
I smiled: "Insidious ideas tend to work the most." I have already laid an ambush on the side of Tuyas, the leader of the Blood Rose Knights, and as soon as we start a general assault on Claes, the assassination over there will begin, and even if Tuas cannot be killed, it will cause great panic and destruction in the city of Paraven, and a large number of nobles will be assassinated and looted, in short, within two days, the Blood Rose Knights will not be given a chance to leave the city. Two days is enough time for us to do a lot of things. ”
Allah sat down, his face looked a little better, he thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "If His Majesty knew that I actually cooperated with the Dark Order and used such a despicable means to defeat Paraven, he might kill me......"
I smiled and said, "If King Graves knew that you used 10,000 men to defeat Fort Rende, Fort St. Ruz Godda, and the capital city of Paraven, annihilated more than 50,000 Swadia troops, and even inflicted heavy losses on top weapons such as the Knights of the Blood Rose, he would definitely make you the idol of the entire Rhodok Kingdom." ”
Allah smiled bitterly and said, "Idols are not idols, I don't want extravagance anymore, as long as I don't go to hell." ”
On the evening of April 25, 1258 in the Carradian calendar, Count Claes, located outside the city of Paraven, unexpectedly discovered the remnants of the previously routed Rhodok army, which, judging by the clues left behind, were at most 7,000 men, demoralized and demoralized, and the remnants of the Rhodok army were hiding on the edge of the Eldeeglin district in the southwest of Paravon. After a short period of judgment, Claes led the former Swadia royal knights, two thousand Swadia heavy horsemen, and two thousand squire knights who had previously experienced the pursuit of the White Horse Guard, and pounced. The southern edge of the Elledegrin district.
Allah led all the Rhodok warriors, wrapped in turquoise vines, in ambush in the dense wooded area of the forest.
The whole wooded area was divided into three fronts, and at the forefront were the snipers of the Rhodok fortress who were ambushed on the steep slopes that all horses could not climb. In order to achieve a better ambush effect, the snipers of the fortress took off all their shiny iron armor and gave it all to the heavy infantry, who were clad in vines and withered grass, and lay in ambush in the long weeds.
Always at the back of the battle line, the Rhodok snipers suffered almost no losses in this series of battles, except for the previous battle against Claes, and now they were the most neatly organized brigade in the Rhodok army.
Nearly 2,000 sniper crossbows are at the forefront of all fronts. The sharp, three-edged armor-piercing bolt pointed sharply at the entrance to the wooded area.
Although they were all ambushed on a steep slope that horses could not climb, this did not mean that they were safe, because Claes's squire knights, they were each armed with a light crossbow. Without the protection of the iron armor, it will be lost if you are hit by a light crossbow at close range.
Moreover, although the horses cannot go up, people can climb these steep slopes, in case the other party dismounts and fights hand-to-hand?
The second line was located twenty meters behind the sniper column of the first line and consisted of the 2nd Infantry Brigade. Twenty meters, this is the distance at which the Rhodok spearmen can fully exert their short- and medium-range lethality, because the first infantry phalanx, which has the most combat experience, has been completely annihilated, and their large shields and spearmen, who were originally only used as auxiliaries, have become first-line infantry arrays that directly face the heavy cavalry impact.
Unlike the first line, which relied mainly on steep slopes that could not be climbed, so the array was very incomplete and dotted, while the second column relied on dense forests, and they used those hundred-year-old trees as support points to firmly discharge tight shield walls and gun forests. They are responsible for hand-to-hand combat at the first opportunity, touching and killing opposing knights, and providing a buffer for the third front.
The third front, located at a distance of thirty meters behind the second line, consisted of the 3rd Infantry Brigade. Their role is based on the brutality of the second front. They needed to counterattack the slowing heavy cavalry when their speed slowed down after the heavy cavalry broke through the second line, because of the resistance and the obstruction of the woods, and the distance of thirty meters was exactly the weakest distance of the cavalry when the cavalry was slowly trotting after the first sprint.
In other words, every counterattack on the third line was carried out after the opposing heavy cavalry carried out a dash slaughter of the second column.
Allah personally wielded his sword and stood at the front of the third line, and after the captain of the third infantry brigade was executed by military law, there was no commander, and Allah personally commanded them. Under Allah's prestige, the 3rd Infantry Brigade should not be the first to collapse.
Just say, it should be ......
As for the 1,000 Rhodok crossbowmen scouts, they were placed in the fourth column, and they were responsible for providing support in case of danger on any front, because the terrain was not suitable for cavalry combat, so they simply dismounted and joined the battle as infantry.
The ballista scout, who has become infantry, is at best equivalent to the role of a light crossbowman, and is the last cannon fodder that cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.
When the fifty crossbowmen who had gone to lure the enemy back from the entrance of the wooded area panting, there were only thirteen left, all of them wounded, blood-stained clothes, and many of them had at least two or more crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, completely supported by one breath.
When the thirteen people approached the first battle line, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the forest area behind them, although it was a little messy, but under such a dense rain of arrows, there was no longer any problem of hit rate.
The thirteen were like a faint flame that was doused by a basin of cold water.
The Snipers of the Rhodok Fortress closed their eyes, and the next second, their eyes were filled with angry flames.
The first Swadian squire knights emerged from the jungle on the opposite side and began to extend their battle line in the slightly leveled open forest.
There was a swarthy shadow swaying in the dense forest over there, and it was the heavy knight who had begun to take turns in armor.
Battle, on the verge of breaking out!
At the same moment, five or six miles away from the battlefield.
A dark hunter galloped up to me sweating, dismounted, and said, "Report to the general, Claes has led all the centaurs into the battlefield, and now it is estimated that the battle has begun!"
I asked, "Is it all the people?" 5,000 people? Have you looked closely?"
The Dark Hunter nodded and said, "I hid in the cave to see it up close, and after counting, it's five thousand!"
I nodded, turned back to Vicente and said, "Let's go, let's go to Parabun...... The second step, which was not said to Allah in the plan, began!"
Vicente looked at me a little unbearably and said, "General...... That's not good, after all, we still have to rely on them to deal with the Knights of Glory......"
I glanced at Vicente: "What's wrong, Allah that guy, I'm used to cheating, cheating, cheating, cheating, ......cheating, cheating, cheating, As long as he doesn't die, I'll explain it to him. ”
Vicente wiped her sweat. I made an inquiring gesture to Ling Ling on the other side, and there was an OK, which meant that Du Fulong had been tied up.
I nodded, and four thousand Dark Ace Army, and fifteen hundred White Horse Guards, rushed in the opposite direction to the battlefield where Allah was, towards Paraven, which was close at hand.
I turned my head and smiled and glanced in the direction where Allah was, the battle, and this was when it began.
Regardless of whether they were willing or unwilling, in the murderous eyes of the black knights on the side, the white horse guards still moved forward tremblingly, although they didn't know why their Du Fulong Du boss was gone, but they saw that the young man named Xiao Yan and the guy named Dong Xiao were angry, but they were not sad and angry, and they still ran forward obediently.
Vicente had suggested to me before that if I had agreed with Allah to join forces to take out the Claes Legion first, and then deal with the Blood Rose Knights and the Palace Guards step by step, it would be fine. My answer was that I needed to quickly eliminate all the forces in Parabun in a short period of time, so that the news would be shocking enough to arouse the interest of Guanxi Chen, and only in this seemingly selfish and reckless way could Guanxi Chen think that the commander of this unit was a villain who was ambitious and a little clever but did not have a sense of the big picture, so that he could have the ambition to control this force.
The reason is very simple, if the leader of this team is beyond the scope of Guanxi Chen's acceptance, he will only think about destroying it, and our danger will be very great!
Vicente was speechless.
In fact, I still have a layer of intentions, and I haven't said it to anyone.
Although I am now completely mired in the quagmire of the Dark Order, I did not want to work here for the rest of my life, and no matter what, that dream is still in my heart, even if I am now on the side of the Dark Order for some purpose and by the arrangement of certain people. Then, for me to realize my dream, whether it is the strength of the Five Great Powers, or the Dark Order, or the Light Organization of Old G, the smaller their strength is, the better, and the smaller the resistance they can form to me in the future, the better. Therefore, only by following the overall plan I have designated at the moment can I finally achieve my goal: to save the Sakya, destroy the old ace army of the Dark Order and the army of Svadia, and at least inflict heavy damage, crush the Svadia Empire, and eliminate all resistance!
"One more point. Vicente said carefully: "There are rumors that Sakya and the high priest are a little related, you did this, you took so much effort, telling Sakya that you sacrificed so much for his brother, and you are also selling him well, and betting in the future political struggle, am I not wrong?"
I looked at Vicente and laughed, "Hehe, yes, you're a smart guy, and there's a little bit of that in there. ”
Vicente stopped talking, and I think he might have weighed it in his mind.
When we were still three or four miles away from the strongest and most magnificent wall in all of Calradia in Palaubunna, the Dark Cathars and the White Horse Guards began to diverge, and fifteen hundred White Horse Guards and five hundred Dark Hunters mixed together and rushed straight to Paravon, and I led the three thousand five hundred Dark Cathars to ambush in the high and hidden grassy plains of the southern pastures.
Led 1,500 White Horse Guards and 500 Dark Hunters straight to Paraven was Vicente, a man with a good brain, who could fight, and who knew how to speculate, and who could execute my plan perfectly.
"It's just...... Is Harlan Gosburg really okay?" Vicente looked at me with some trepidation.
I smiled: "Don't worry, Harungus has been shaking for a long time, have you forgotten how he let us go during the siege of Elledigar in the beginning? I forged a handwritten letter from someone who is familiar with Sakya, and now it has been sent to Harhangos, he will come forward at a critical moment to stop the Blood Rose Knights for you, and when the time comes, you can leave the White Horse Guard alone, and take the Dark Hunter to run as fast as you can, otherwise, it will be really dangerous." ”
"Are you sure Harangus will help stop the Blood Rose Knights? If he doesn't stop us, when we are caught up by the Blood Rose Knights, it will be when we are exhausted, and I am afraid that we will not even have the strength to wipe our necks. "Vicente is still nervous.
I continued to laugh and say, "Don't you believe who doesn't believe me, even if Harungus doesn't show up, I can stop the Blood Rose for you." Anyway, all you have to do is drain the Rose Knights of Blood and run northeast. ”
When I said the phrase "you don't believe who doesn't believe me", I was sure I saw Vicente's face twitch violently, as if to say something like "I can't trust anyone else", but he finally nodded resignedly, took my hand and said, "I still have a son who is training at the Order's headquarters, and if I die, I hope you will treat him well." ”
