1728 Imperial Tiger Ben (5)

"Whew!"

The sound of the horn representing the battle suddenly sounded on the side of the Gallic army, and the Gallic commander-in-chief, Hasenrampo, who was concerned about the battle situation ahead, unexpectedly turned his head and asked sharply, "What is the matter with the troops on the flank? At this time, it is the most critical moment of the battle situation, and the trumpet is a shock to the morale of the army, so immediately send someone to stop it."

Before his words fell, he saw a dazzling cold light from the sky with raindrops swooping down, like a waterfall galloping, in the cold light, ten thousand arrows rained, sharp arrows shot into the soldiers' bodies, some of the Gallic soldiers who were rectifying the troops on the side suddenly turned on their backs, "poof" sharp crossbow arrows from the Gauls' heads, bodies, legs, as long as they could shoot through the place, the entire area covered by the arrows was empty, even the people and horses were inserted in an instant with the white tail feathers of the arrow clusters, and the corpses hit the ground heavily,

A bloodied Gallic officer, struggling to get up, was immediately shot by several white arrows, and the lifeless corpse trembled in the falling sharp arrows, and the blood-drenched stumps dragged out blood-red long marks on the ground, "This is the cavalry of the steppe cavalry!"

The well-informed Hasenlimbo suddenly realized what had happened to him, his face turned pale, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave

A biting cold made his pupils constrict unconsciously, and the five fingers holding the whip made a creaking and rubbing sound, the steppe cavalry still remembered the blow under the destruction of the Eighth Legion, and he didn't see these steppe cavalry all winter, and at this moment, Hasenranbo had a sense of helplessness to respond,

In addition to these devils, the Falcon Empire must have mobilized more forces that were not detected by itself, and this war has long been in an extremely disadvantageous position because of the sluggishness of the intelligence system, and Hasenlimbo felt a deep fear! The Falcon Army in the river was not fleeing at all. Instead, like a decoy, he unwittingly introduced his 100,000 troops into a flat river area, where even a large number of infantry clusters could never compete with the cavalry onslaught.

To put it bluntly, this dead land is a cemetery prepared in advance by the Falcon Army for an army of 100,000!

"Whoa!" The second wave of arrows struck again from the far distance on the flank, a large number of soldiers fell, and a herald cavalryman with a wolf-looking look fell from the galloping horse, and ran over to report "My lord, a large number of cavalry have been found on the flank!"

"That's convenient! After killing them, he threw the body into the river. I don't even have to bury the effort!" Hasenrampo showed a wry smile on the corner of his mouth with a little sadness, what he should have thought of, the Falcon Army's abnormal arrangement, with only 30,000 people, to attack the middle of his heavy army, obviously with the intention of bait,

However, the collapse of the Seine defense line on the eastern front, the stubborn resistance of the important city of Nase, and the huge advantage on the surface, made me subconsciously choose a fluke mentality. I only hoped to eat this lone army of falcons that broke through in one bite, but I didn't expect that this flat terrain would be for the infantry cluster that was attacked by cavalry. Even escaping is a luxury, this is a blow to the 100,000 troops of our own side! Now the only way to sacrifice the flank that first encountered it, or to have a chance to let the other troops evacuate,

Hasenrampo ordered in the tone of a strong man's broken wrist: "Order the seventh, ninth, and eleventh garrison regiments on the flanks to hold on to the spot!

"Quickly?" the herald cavalry was stunned for a moment

"It's about running for your life. Run as fast as you can!"

Hasenlimbo didn't care about any words, it was no longer possible to retreat in a centralized manner, but in such a dark night. Tens of thousands of people ran all the way, or there was still some hope of escaping back, but fortunately the fifteen thousand men belonging to his Sixth Legion had not yet been sent, otherwise it would be good that a tenth of the people who could return alive would have been swept by the enemy's cavalry along the flank

"Woohoo"

The horns of the urgent evacuation sounded in the back, and the Gallic troops in front stopped one after another

The sound of fighting from the rear resounded in the sky, making many soldiers stunned, "What's the matter?" "Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, I can't figure out the situation at all, only a group of horses galloped over, and the officer shouted loudly there, "The regiment headquarters order, everyone evacuate immediately!"

"Draw the knife"

The war horses galloped, the distance between each other was shortened to 50 meters, the Dongting general Wumu shouted through the battlefield, and the sound of 30,000 Dongting cavalry neatly drawing their scimitars was like a brilliant sword light flashing in the rainy night, and even gave the Gauls on the opposite side an illusion that it was a spectacular one that had never been seen before

"Kill!"

The vulture's legs clamped violently, and he first rushed into the Gallic crowd, and the scimitar fell quickly, cutting down two Gallic soldiers in succession

Behind him, the thousands of black figures of the Eastern Court cavalry poured in like a wave at the same time, like countless huge iron hammers crashing into the array of spears erected in the panic of the flank infantry ranks, and the spears were broken, and the entire row of Gallic infantry was knocked away by the galloping horses or fell to the ground entirely

In such an open field, the advantage of the cavalry cluster is very obvious, just relying on the impact force, the thousands of flying hooves of the Eastern Court cavalry kicked down from the front of these Gallic soldiers, and countless snow-bright scimitars continued to flicker through the arc of death in the air

"Kill!" like a lightning flash, the sharp blade of war slashed through the armor of the Gallic infantry, bright red blood squall out from the enemy's neck, the human head flew into the sky, splashed on the white face of the opposite companion, the war horse swarmed around, the corpse was scattered like trampled cloth, the sound was mixed with the impact of metal and flesh, like a huge scimitar-like shock cavalry, with absolute superiority almost effortlessly broke through the two squadrons of the Gauls on the flank,

"Stabilize the ......" A Gallic officer tried to stop the scattered soldiers loudly in the chaos, and a cavalryman from the Eastern Court slashed his head with a knife, and the horse's hooves mercilessly knocked out the corpses that had not yet fallen, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the soldiers around were frightened silly,

"Mom, run for your life!"

The Gallic soldiers were killed by the onslaughting cavalry of the Eastern Court and cried out to their mothers, and the countless flashing swords wielded by the steppe people were like a huge scythe, deeply piercing into the flank of the Gauls, and the infantry in the front of the flank disappeared in an instant, losing their orderly resistance, and the infantry fighting alone could not compete with the cavalry group at all. Heavy horses trampled them under the hooves like heavy tanks, and everywhere there was the click of broken spears and broken spears, and the Gallic flanks fell like papier-muffled mud, like ripe ears of wheat swept by a strong wind!

Because of the collapse too quickly, Hasenlampo decisively gave up the hope of delaying the garrison regiment where the combat strength was weak.

"Array!" the officers of the Sixth Army drew their swords with a stern expression, and the soldiers neatly erected their bayonet spears in their hands, the tips of their long spears marched forward in unison, and the heavy spear troops with shields in their hands were at the front

The Sixth Army was called the "Imperial Tiger Army". The descendants of Hasenrambo, in the hasty and chaotic flow of people who fled, were like a solid rock that highlighted that the tide of battle was reversed too quickly, but it could not shake the faith of these elite soldiers of the Sixth Legion, one moment they were still impacting the Falcon Army's array like a flood, and the next moment, they were facing the impact of the Falcon Army's cavalry cluster, the ground in front of them was shaking violently, and the cold rain hit their faces. The black pressure pressed a armored war horse that jumped like a tide, and the rumbling sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shook from the opposite side,

"Attention, there is a gun array ahead" The happy Eastern Court cavalry, who was killing, suddenly found themselves in the torrent of the Gallic rout. A huge formation appeared, as if a forest of spears had suddenly appeared on the ground, the tips of which shone with a terrible glow of metal, just blocking the front of the cavalry pursuit

"Crush them!

A thousand-man squad of the Eastern Court cavalry was red-eyed. Unable to notice the sudden change in front, and regarded this army as the local garrison encountered in front, thousands of war horses rushed forward without hesitation. Like a hammer slammed into the rock, the two sides collided together like two steel walls that collided at high speed, and the cavalry on the "snap" war horse was picked down by the dense spears, and the war horse also crashed into the military formation, after all, the Dongting cavalry was not a heavy cavalry dedicated to the impact queue, although it had high mobility, but it was at a disadvantage in the collision with the hoplites

The Dongting Thousand Men team that fought out of the rout was like a violently shaking arc, and countless blood rains of soldiers on both sides flew into the air with stumps, bloody wind and blood, and a strong smell of blood hit the face. Blood splattered out from the bodies of both sides almost at the same time, the shields shattered, the knife flashed, and the bright red blood gushed out of the headless chest and chest cavity into the air, and the two sides were crowded with no room for the corpse to fall, and the Dongting cavalry of about a thousand people were in it for a while, because the situation was too chaotic, the Dongting cavalry who rushed into the array didn't even look at it, and the combat knife in his hand was casually swaying with a flying snow-bright sword light. Seeing his companions in the front row rolling off his horse, a cavalryman in the back row was still sitting on his horse stupidly, his eyes straight as he watched countless spears stab in,

The other cavalry of the Eastern Court were no longer frightened and bypassed, compared with the strict military formation in front of them, it was obviously more cost-effective to chase and kill the other Gauls who were scattered, you know, the empire counted the merits and bounties according to the number of heads, killing one more person was equivalent to fighting for an extra year's rations for his wife and children,

In this case, the main goal of the Eastern Court cavalry was still placed on the garrison regiments in those scattered places, and the order of His Majesty the Falcon was only for him to crush the enemy's flanks, in order to survive, many Gauls jumped into the rushing river, and were swept up by the fierce flood, and there was no shadow in a few strokes, and the water that was rolling with countless corpses hit it, and the mud was tumbling, and the water was gurgling out, and countless broken human limbs could be seen inside, rising and falling in the tumbling,

"Hehe, what an accident, it turned out to be the Sixth Army of Hasenranbo!" His eyes swept over the only military formation of the other party that was still holding on, and the battle flag fluttering on it made the fat man laugh, after this period of understanding, he still remembered the army in front of him, the Sixth Army of Hasenranbo,

The fat man raised his horsewhip and pointed downward, and said to several generals behind him, "This army is called the Tiger Army by the Gauls, and in such chaos, it can still stabilize its position, it seems that the elite of combat power is not under our Central Army, this army is regarded as the core of the 400,000 Gallic army in the entire Rasti region, it seems that this time Hasenlimpo also made a bloody investment this time, and actually brought out a part of the Sixth Army, which is really a big fish caught by accident"

"It's the Gallic Sixth Army!" The generals' faces looked a little strange, and they had been facing each other in the Lusti region for the whole winter, and they were also thunderous about this Gallic Sixth Army, and they still had a trace of disdain and contempt for the Gauls, and when they heard the Falcon Majesty say that the combat strength of this army was not under the Central Army, they also secretly withdrew the contempt in their eyes,

"Although the Gallic Imperial army was repeatedly defeated by our army, it was mainly because of weapons and strategic problems, and there were many real elites worth paying attention to. For example, Murphy's Dragonarmor Army, Hasenranpo's Sixth Army, I just don't know if Hasenranpo himself is inside!"

The horsewhip in the fat man's hand patted lightly on his leg, looking a little unfinished, his voice stopped, and the order said, "Order the people of Dongting to immediately give up the pursuit and kill those unpopular routs, and drag this tiger army with long-range bows and arrows, and tell Sรน Crolysat, who is good tonight, that I will give him another chance to restore the reputation of the Northwest Legion." Climb aboard the battleship on the river and go down the river, and go straight to Nase again by water, which can be half as fast as the land route, so that he must occupy Nase and cut off all the retreats of the rout! The others lead their own teams to cast a net and encircle, and try to catch alive these frightened local garrison regiments, especially the officers! I have a great use, do you know it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" several Central Army generals straightened their bodies. Nodding solemnly, no wonder His Majesty only let the Dongting people rush down, and the fifteen thousand central cavalry lined up and did not move, it turned out that he had such a plan. I heard that during this time, His Majesty was very interested in some information about the Gallic garrison, and sure enough, he had long been eyeing these "fat meats" and felt a heartfelt silence for those Gallic garrisons. The prey that was taken by the Falcon Majesty, that was really ...... Several central generals quietly glanced at each other, and secretly shook their heads inwardly. Sad Gauls!

"Close!"

The Dongting cavalry, which received the order, began to reluctantly stop the pace of pursuing the routed army. Surrounded by the array of the Sixth Army in the middle, countless cavalry circled around the Sixth Army of Hasenlimpo, and as long as the two armies approached, the cavalry would go away, constantly throwing bows and arrows at their side,

As the golden morning light illuminated the distant hills from the horizon, this tragic battle was also coming to an end, and more than 60,000 local garrisons were blocked by the Northwest Army, defeated, captured, and captured alive, and after a night of hard fighting, 15,000 people of Hasenlambo paid the price of 7,000 dead and wounded, and finally left the flat land of the river, and fought and retreated to the higher mountains.

Even Hasenranbo can clearly feel that the other party seems to have the intention of capturing him alive, these wandering steppe cavalry just allow themselves to move very slowly, as the sky brightens, the harassment of arrow clusters can not cause much damage in the case of increased vigilance,

But the morale of the army and the physical strength of the soldiers are limited, and the cavalry attack makes the soldiers have no time to rest at all, and it is conceivable that the other side is waiting for the moment when they are exhausted, or behind these steppe cavalry, there are more Falcon armies gathering, waiting for the moment to give themselves a fatal blow

"Before the battle of Lustie was fully opened, he, the head of Gaul, was captured alive, which was undoubtedly a nightmare blow to the morale of the Empire" Hasenlimpo took his sword with a solemn expression and handed it to Andalin, a student dressed as a knight next to him, "If it comes to the last moment, you will cut off my head! The Empire only has generals killed in battle, and there are no captured generals! I don't want to be a laughing stock like Algernonkatya"

Andaline rarely took Hasenlimpo's saber in silence, "No, I believe that the enemy's main target is the middle tier city area, and he can't take the time to deal with us now, so he just sent these light cavalry to harass us, as long as we retreat into the mountains, there will still be a chance!" "Opportunity? The corner of Hasenrampo's mouth smiled bitterly, he didn't speak, his eyes stopped on the steppe cavalry trailing not far away, he also saw some black-armored cavalry who were not dressed as steppe cavalry, but they didn't care about their own meaning at all, and quickly galloped past the steppe cavalry, these black-armored cavalry often escorted a large number of prisoners,

The appearance of these cavalry of the Central Army made a trace of luck in Hasenlimbo's heart disappear, and he fought hard all night, but in the end he did not win more people to escape, he knew that the one who could command the Falcon Empire's Emperor directly under the Central Army must be the first-class general of the Falcon Empire,

Hukochili or Salon?

These are the famous generals of the Falcon Empire who have been in battle for a long time and have made outstanding achievements, no matter which one they meet, the other party will not let themselves go lightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago, the real target of the other party has always been the entire middle line, and in just one night, the defense of the middle line has completely collapsed."

"The defeat of the 100,000 army, for the Rusti region with 400,000 Gallic troops, or still within the range of what can be tolerated, what really worries me is that the 100,000 people defeated by the Falcon army are mainly from the middle line urban areas, after this battle, the strength of the urban areas has been knocked out by half, and now there is no one in the Rusti area, the Kyoto army and the local garrison army have always been incompatible, and the urban areas must also be fighting separately, if it is a normal siege war, even if the Falcon Army has Thor and warships to drive into the inland river, and pull out those urban areas one by one, it will take at least half a month, if it is supported by our army, it is even more difficult, but now, I guess I don't even want it for a week, this is the real reason why the Falcon Army lured our army out, they feel that such a fight is too troublesome, so just serve it in a pot!"
