1423 Eagle Northwest (8)

At the beginning of September, on the flat ground of the O'Acha area,

A late autumn yellow, blooming blue horse orchids, pink trumpet flowers, small-petaled cat's eye flowers, plain wild chrysanthemums, the wind blows, clusters of five-flowered weeds nod neatly and waist, the car wheel vegetables are sharp and sharp, and the wolf tail grass provokes a small flag,

Amid the sound of heavy horses' hooves, a torrent of Kugit cavalry in black armor swept over the vast land, bringing up countless dust, which swayed with the wind brought by the fast horses, forming a magnificent landscape on the land.

"Everyone, hurry up!, we can't let anyone else get ahead," the commander of the thousand horsemen shouted as he rode on a black horse, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly to the group of cavalry roaring behind him,

The O'acha coastal area is relatively desolate, coupled with the influence of the sea breeze, the ground plants here are very low, at a glance, so that the Kugit people involuntarily think of their distant hometown, and can't help but work harder.

Take a regional bounty of 10,000, take the capital bounty of 500,000,

Although it may sound exaggerated, the reputation of the Falcon Khan King is obvious to all in the Ikadiva continent, and most of the Kujit people know that in the army of the real Falcon Empire, the reward of military exploits is enough to make many tribes feel ashamed.

The Falcon Army's reward for military merit is a well-known truth in Icadivar, this seemingly simple and crude method, but it seems to be the fairest, opportunity and wealth, for everyone,

In the face of the purple huge reward that makes people blush, courage, decisiveness, fearless of death, the pursuit of glory, the courage of the soldiers, and the life of the general, forming a unique set of glory concept. It has to be said that it is a miracle that the starry imperial sky, which once made other countries tremble, people from all walks of life, joined the army with different purposes, and finally formed a unified concept, and what binds this qiē together is interests,

Personal interests and national interests, family interests and national interests. When all the forces converged on one point, the powerful vitality of the Falcon Empire burst out, making the entire Ikadwig look sideways

Hu Yan was particularly interested in the military merit system of the Falcon Army before, and the cavalry under his command belonged to the hurricane cavalry of the Duowei Department, and the equipment was mainly lightly armed archers, so the speed of advancing in the five thousand people was also the fastest.

The cavalry of the Duowei Division had fought with the Imperial army on many occasions, and many times, the hurricane cavalry of Huyan was used as an elite striker. He had under his command 1,140 hurricane cavalrymen, all of whom were the best of the tribe, brave in battle, and like the wind in attack, but similar to the same feats of war. The regular army of the Falcon Army received almost a hundred, if not tenfold, of the reward they received from the tribesmen, and the same thousand men who crushed the enemy. The regular falconry can get 1,000 gold coins, while their own side can get less than 100, and sometimes there are only symbolic cattle and sheep.

And now, this opportunity has finally fallen on him, as the vanguard of the army, the cavalry of Huyan has been devastating all the way, because most of the troops and manpower in the O'acha area have been sent to Brandenburg,

The steppe cavalry marching on the five routes, encircling the capital, almost did not encounter any resistance, even if some unsightly local lords wanted to struggle, in front of the longbow and fast horses of the Kugit who suddenly attacked, a group of peasant soldiers who had gathered in a hurry had not yet approached, and they were already frightened by the storm of arrows, scimitars were like blood, and the horses' hooves crushed almost unhindered,

Almost in two days, the five steppe cavalry marched forward for more than a hundred miles, captured seven areas in succession, and routed the garrisons of more than 4,000 people, and had already smashed the entire temporary defense line of Oacha into a sieve.

It was not until they entered the capital city of Oleon Fort that the momentum of this swift assault began to slow down, and finally gradually stopped the pace of advance, and here the Kugit began to feel the pressure obviously,

Outside the city began to have tall walls, moats, the size of the city is also larger than the coastal areas, the movement from the coastal side, but also let these areas begin to be nervous, these have increased the difficulty of the raid, although as always, the raid, two days down, only to advance less than 50 miles, and the constant encounters of the enemy, also began to wear linen, holding all kinds of agricultural tools, into wearing chain mail, holding sophisticated weapons and shields of regular soldiers, some fast assault light cavalry also appeared, although the number is not enough to threaten the Kujits, but when these pressures converge, the wise choice of the Kujits temporarily stopped,

They camped on the edge. Where, where their horses' hooves passed, two-thirds of the land of O'Acha was planted with the battle flag of the Falcon army, and the infantry were receiving these areas, restoring them, giving the horses water and fodder, and the Kujits were natural masters of assault warfare, and the hunting that began since childhood had given them priority over other nations, and they were the first to learn the skills of maneuvering and maneuvering,

As long as they point them in the right direction, they will forge a path, and when they encounter an enemy that cannot be defeated unilaterally, they will choose to fight like a wolf pack, from a single battle to a group battle.

In the next few days, because of the rapid advance, many thousand-man teams were divided into several squads, and the ranks were disrupted, and here it was necessary to reassemble and organize the troops from the new one, and collect the lost personnel, and in the high-speed march, the formation would inevitably be disrupted, and there would be a situation where a small number of cavalry could not keep up with the team. An all-round adjustment must be made to facilitate future battles.

Hu Yan and a few team leaders were drinking cool water by a waterhole, the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that it would rain at any time, but Hu Yan's mood was obviously very happy. After a long gallop, I was able to stop and take a good rest and take a sip of cool water. Let the sweet coolness permeate the whole body, this is really a pleasant thing,

The steppe people believe that water, meadows, mountains, and rivers are all made of spirituality, and it is a very pious thing to let the Holy Spirit purify their souls in addition to the hard life, not to mention that this time the recovery is very rich, this time he has conquered six regions in a row, that is, 60,000 gold coins! A thousand horsemen like himself do not know how many years he has to dedicate to the tribe and how many battles he will fight before he will get this astronomical huge sum.

"Perhaps, I won't be able to reach such a number in my life!" Hu Yan wiped the water stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and he saw another Thousand Rider Commander Monago coming from a distance.

"Monago! look at your face. Didn't you run to the end, so you didn't get the bounty!"

Hu Yanduo handed the water scoop in his hand to the person next to him, and stood up and burped, obviously drinking too much water, so it was hard to blame him for being greedy, in the day of the rush. They drank water in the skin, which inevitably had the taste of frizzy skin, "This joke is not funny, I came here this time to tell you a message!" His dark face looked a little gloomy, and he came to Hu Yan's side and said in a low voice

"My scouts have just brought back a message, opposite us, there is an army of more than 10,000 or so waiting for us, well-equipped, it is a regular army!, I have sent someone to report this news to the Khan King in the rear, and there has been no response for the time being" "A regular army of 10,000 people?"

The corners of his mouth smiled disappreciatively, "When have we Kugit people been afraid." And the terrain here is flat, even if the opponent is more outnumbered than us, it does not mean that they will be able to defeat us, the scimitar and quick bow of the Kugit warriors. But even the wind can cut through it!" "But no matter how fast the scimitar or strong bow is, they can't cut through the strong walls!" Monago crouched down, picked up a handful of water in both hands, and looked at the rippled waterhole with sparkling eyes. "If it's a field battle, of course we're not afraid of them, but if it's a siege war." We're going to be in trouble!, so I want everyone to get together and have a good discussion, that's 500,000 gold coins!"

"It's time to discuss!"

Hu Yan nodded, "The people who can be sent out this time are the elites of the various departments of the West Court, although the bounty for capturing the capital is very tempting, but they also all know that it is impossible to capture the capital with a thousand people under their command, and attacking the city wall will cause heavy losses to the soldiers, what we have to do now is not to fight, but to wait, wait for the echo of our companions, I will go and say it on Bi Keli's side, as for the other two royal court cavalry side......" Hu Yan stopped speaking and glanced at Monago" I am in charge of the other two royal court cavalry, and the time is set for dusk today, and the location is here," Hearing Hu Yan's promise, Monago said without hesitation

He belongs to the royal court faction, and Huyan belongs to the Duowei faction, which is also the reason why he came to Huyan, if you want to unite, if you can't reach a consensus, you can't really unite, in the face of common interests, the Kujit people are often very realistic, and the tradition of cooperative hunting has continued for hundreds of years.

In the evening, the five Kugit thousand horsemen gathered together for the first time since they set out, the sky above them was like a black mist gathering, the light was very dim, five people sat on the stones of the mound, the other soldiers stood far away, the tribe had tribal rules, "We are in trouble!"

Monago recounted the situation reported by the scouts to the others, and when he heard that the regular army of about 10,000 people might be encountered, except for Hu Yan's calm face, the other thousand cavalry commanders fell into silence for a while

"I'll draw the other party out of the city to fight in the field, otherwise we won't have a chance of winning!" said a thousand cavalry commanders with a stern expression, and several other people also agreed, when it comes to the ability to attack the city wall, it is the only shortcoming of the brave and warlike Kujiit people, who are accustomed to the vast grassland, and the first feeling of any steppe person when they see the towering city wall is that they cannot cross it, and psychologically, the Kujit people have a natural frustration with the city wall. The walls block the hooves of the galloping horses, and those who own the walls can easily shoot the enemies under the city, which is an unfair duel!

"That's the only way! This time we are advancing in five directions, presumably the other party can't figure out our specific strength for the time being, so we are huddled in the city, which is an advantage that can be used" Monago nodded, casually broke off the branches of a bush next to him to make a pen, and drew a schematic diagram of the arrangement on the soft soil under his feet "This time, I will be used as a bait, and you will set up an ambush in this area" Monago raised his head, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said with a solemn expression" For the sake of 500,000, I hope you can put aside the prejudices of your respective camps, and this time, we are not fighting for the clan, but for ourselves!" "What if the enemy doesn't take the bait?"

Someone asked in a low voice in confusion, and Monago glanced at the man, it was another Thousand Rider Commander Harrashad of the Duowei Division, and among the Thousand Riders, Harrashad was the youngest,

He was only about twenty-five years old, with flaxen hair and a pair of eyes with a bit of finesse. The question he asked was also what the other thousand horsemen wanted to say,

This bait is only afraid that it will not be good, the opponent's army is in the city, and it will not be harassed without pain, but it will not be able to be lured, and if it is according to the old method before, the bloody massacre is used to provoke the other party, and the falcon has already issued a strict order, so the conventional method will not work. This is difficult! Monago didn't know how to answer for a while

"Let me try!" Harrashad stood up with a stern expression, patted the soil on his body, and said, "This kind of task, it is better to let our hurricane cavalry take on it, whether it is speed or evacuation after attraction, our hurricane cavalry is obviously more competent!"

"Do you have a way?" the Thousand Riders looked at him curiously

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily this day, and it's pouring down, just enough to drown out the sound of the hooves of our hurricane cavalry!" Harrashad looked up at the inky sky above him and smiled, "I have an idea. Taking advantage of this rain, my hurricane cavalry passed directly through this area and struck the edge of the capital less than 50 miles from here. Poke it hard,

"I can guarantee that the other party will run out like they have been stabbed in a hornet's nest! It's up to you!"

"It's dangerous, but it should work!" Monago agreed......

Huge raindrops fell from the sky. Hitting people brings a chill.

The inky black sky shone a silver lightning shone on the rainy earth, a black rainy night. In the darkness, a long black line slowly emerged from a dense forest outside Fort Oleon, the capital of O'Arão.

Harashad took a deep breath of cold air in the air, and the bright chain mail on his body glowed white in the rain. The rain ran down his young cheeks, and his eyes were staring into the distance, and the huge figure of Olelong Fort was entrenched there. On the top of the city wall, you can see the flickering dim lights, and a convoy of transports is slowly passing over the suspension bridge outside the city, and the suspension bridge creaks "Attack!"

Harrashad shouted loudly, he had been waiting for this opportunity for more than an hour, the black rainstorm night was the best cover for the cavalry raid, the sound of falling rain could not only drown out the roar of the horse's hooves, but also blur the opponent's vision,

The other party's drawbridge is now completely blocked, even if you want to chase it out, you can't get through, this is the best opportunity to "move forward!" The thousand hurricane cavalry behind Harrashad, like a demon god who came from the rain, galloped out of the forest in a row, the bursting cold wind mixed with the raindrops, the bow in his hand was opened, the raindrops hit the galloping cavalry, and the cold light of the arrows seemed so unclear in the rain curtain

The defenders in the distance did not expect such a sudden attack at all,

"Quick! archers" The city was in chaos, and in the rain and fog, the cavalry that attacked like a sea of mountains, densely packed with archers, immediately squatted all over the city wall, like a hedgehog with spikes spreading,

"Three rounds!"

The horn compound bow in Harasad's hand was drawn into a semicircle, the fingers were released, and there was a sound of the bowstring tearing the air, and a white line crossed a distance of 100 meters, piercing into the body of an officer who was commanding on the city wall, the officer looked at the cluster of bloody arrows piercing his chest with a look of disbelief, his body shook, and fell from the towering city, and his body smashed heavily into the mud under the city, like a red canvas

Similar to his technique, a thousand well-trained hurricane cavalry, in the gallop of the war horse stretched the bow, the moment of shooting, the head of the formation suddenly dispersed, the whole team was divided into two, with the light of a swallow, respectively to the left and right,

Countless clusters of arrows densely pierced the rain curtain, covering the past, in the dense sharp wind, the arrow rain poured on the city head without stopping, almost in just a few minutes, the city head of the city of Olelong Fort was baptized with arrows, the archers on the city wall suddenly overturned, the skillful horse skills of the unknown enemy below, the uniform movements, such a crisp and neat change of direction in front of the enemy, so that countless Oacha soldiers who witnessed this wonder were stunned,

Behind the uncovered city walls, a scream rang out, and the soldiers fell one after another with arrows, blood splattering. "Fluttering" sharp wind sound eardrums. The stones under his feet were also soaked in blood and became wet, screams, moans, cries for help, and orders mixed together, and a heavy sense of fear controlled the hearts of every defender, and the companions around him fell to the ground with arrows, screaming in pain

"Bastard, what the hell is going on!"

Marquis of Panbof, the ruler of the O'acha region, was a little confused when he received the news of the attack on Fort Olelong,

He was holding in his hand a report that had just been delivered, it was from General Saint-Sauvelle, who was commanding the army of the Marquis fifty miles away,

The report reads: "In the light of the Marquis's glory, our army has completely contained the advance of the enemy's cavalry, and the enemy has fled in a hurry in front of our army, and the panorama of O'Acha will be restored in the near future, please wait and see!"

"If it's a hasty escape, then what's wreaking havoc outside the city right now!" the Marquis of Pembeuf angrily tore up the report in his hand and threw it heavily into the air, countless flying fragments as if mocking him (to be continued......
