2172 Tooth for tooth (5)
"Turn the whole army and fight!" Pastanon's voice was so high that it pierced the sky, and the generals of the legion recovered from their shock, and after a very brief trade-off, they began to mobilize the legion with all their strength to turn around and face the battle.
"My lord, what about Helena?" the lieutenant in red chain mail flashed from side to side with a little timidity, and felt his tongue tremble
"Helena left one regiment behind, and the rest went all out to meet the Imperial cavalry"
Pastanon waved his hand vigorously, his eyes swept over Helena's barrier, the wall of fire outside the city wall had not been extinguished, although Helena's side blocked the attack, but the loss was not small, according to intelligence, Helena's defenders were killed by 5,000 people, facing the back of a 40,000-strong army, leaving a regiment to deal with, it was already very good, |[m At this time, Pastanon also felt a little wrong, in the intelligence, but there was no mention that the Falcon Empire had invested such a number of cavalry clusters on the Eastern Front, and in terms of quantity, at least more than 10,000,
Don't those guys from the Intelligence Department know what it means to only underreport, in such an open terrain, a high-speed cavalry cluster is enough to determine the direction of the entire battle, if they had known this, they would not have chosen to cross the stinky flag of Nuren's surprise attack on Helena,
Because the distance from Nuren to Helen Fortress is more than 30 miles, it takes three to four hours for the infantry to march quickly, but it only takes one hour for the light cavalry to advance quickly, and the time difference is one hour, even if you press 40,000 people with all your strength, it is impossible to defeat the Helena barrier.
That bunch of stupid pigs from the Kingdom Intelligence Department! Pastanon scolded the mistakes of the Kingdom Intelligence Department in his heart, and his intestines were all repentant, and the delayed intelligence system made a fatal mistake for himself, what did he do when he beat Helena! No matter how stupid he was, he would not be so stupid as to gamble the life of the 40,000 family army on this hour's chance, it was too slim, and there was no possibility of winning at all!
Because of the inaccuracy of the intelligence. I used the wrong method at the wrong time to hit Helena's fortress headlong, and then it was the current situation, I couldn't move forward, I couldn't retreat, it was as embarrassing and embarrassing as being caught red-handed
"Is this a mistake of the Ministry of Intelligence, or a conspiracy of the Ministry of Military Affairs......" Pastanon suddenly unconsciously rose in his heart a very undeserved thought, the Ministry of Military Affairs has always been very cold to himself, and he did not even participate in such a thing as the national war, how could he have such a great achievement at once. Forty years ago, the Ministry of War betrayed the Pasta family once, and who dares to say that after 40 years, this history will not repeat itself?
"Queue turn, fight!"
The rearguard of the Pastanon regiment, the throat-like voices of the officers revealed a trace of sadness, and the cavalry of such a scale could not be stopped in front of the rush. The officers didn't say anything, but all the people with eyes could see it.
If it were other Fesan legions, they would have encountered such a cavalry assault or were already beginning to break up. The most unfortunate and chaotic ones can't line up, not to mention the exhausted and bloody Pastanon army that has just fought under Helena City, where is there still the combat strength to block the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry.
But this is the private army of the Pasta family, the private army of the Pasta family that forty years ago, even if there were only 3,000 men left, they were forced to grit their teeth and return. This kind of conventional situation can not be set, all the officers are served by the children of the Pasta family, from top to bottom have an inextricable relationship with the Pasta family, in a combat team, there are brothers, fathers and sons, friends, there are blood relatives entrusted with life and death, there are partners worthy of sacrifice, this kind of stable army structure, since it has just suffered a heavy setback, at this time it is also extremely orderly,
The front enemy is swarming, the belly and back are affected by the enemy, only by blocking the first wave, the army has a chance to breathe, "Steady, as long as you resist the first wave, the back will be easy to do!" Countless pikemen consciously and bravely rushed to the rearguard line, forming a wall of spears with countless cold and beautiful spears,
"Boom" The ground is trembling, the cavalry clusters that attack in the distance are like black clouds, black armor, red helmets, like fire spreading the flat plain in front of them, murderous to the sky, ten thousand troops are rushing for dozens of miles, and the cavalry is pursuing like the wind to cut the camp and kill the generals, for this is not the moment! No one cares about the horsepower of the war horses, and they follow the surging war horse frenzy like crazy.
The crossbow fire of the Imperial cavalry broke out in advance at about one hundred and ten meters,
Clusters of arrows flew out from the front like a torrential rain at the same time, and the cold light arrows dragging the white tail feathers flew into the sky in an arc, turning into a metal waterfall spanning a distance of 100 meters, and locusts pounced into the Pasta army array, and a scream sounded behind the uncovered shield wall phalanx,
"Ahh
One by one, the arrows of the Faisan soldiers fell, blood splattered, and the queue of Faisan archers standing in the back did not fluctuate in the slightest,
"Ready!" The captain of the archers shouted as if blood was oozing out, and a group of archers, they stood behind the spears with solemn expressions, without the protection of shields, facing the clusters of arrows falling from the sky, condensing all their strength towards the sky, and slowly raising the infantry bow in their hands towards the sky at a forty-degree angle,
Fifty meters, the Fishan archers let go of the arrow clusters with the order, and countless arrow clusters flew up,
Only by entering fifty meters, Fei Shan's bow can shoot through the armor of the emperor's **, especially the cavalry in front of him is suddenly wearing the armor of the imperial guard, and the arrow cluster flew away, and immediately hit the black cavalry galloping in the front, the cavalry above was hit by countless arrow clusters, and the body full of arrow clusters rolled out of the war horse like a hedgehog,
"Vertical Gun"
For the entire line of attack, such fluctuations are minimal, and the imperial cavalry in the front row has already raised their cavalry shields at this moment, and the spears with handles are flat in front of the cavalry impact like a dazzling front,
"Come on, see who dies first!"
Faisan pikemen was beating a drum inside, the palms of the spears were full of greasy sweat, and the rows of ends were erected diagonally upwards, and one end was firmly inserted into the ground.
Such a fierce cavalry cluster is rare in the world,
But there was not the slightest hint of flinching on the face of every Faisan soldier, when all the utilitarian hearts were put down, when all superfluous thoughts were occupied by living, this generation of Pasta children did not disgrace the reputation of their fathers decades ago,
"Dare to die!" a roaring shout seemed to ignite everyone's blood, like a storm violently rolling up and whistling on the Pasta flag
"Dare to die!" shouted one after another, converging into a torrent.
Forty years ago, when only 3,000 Pasta troops remained, and the dilapidated reappeared in Pasta Kyoto, the whole Pasta Kyoto was boiling, and the spirit of the Pasta private army fighting to the death shocked all the people of Kyoto, and the people were panicked at that time, and many people thought that the defeat was like a mountain, and Kyoto could not be defended, but the Pasta family gave them a miracle. If even a private army can't be wiped out, why should the Iraqi people defeat the royal capital! The morale of the army was shocked, and the Iraqi army was also afraid, and finally chose peace talks, and in the following forty years, which Faisan people did not give a thumbs up and said that the Pasta family was a group of good men,
If it weren't for that, the bigwigs in the Ministry of Military Affairs would not have been obsessed with it, and they always kept the Pasta family out of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Regarded as an anomaly, it was really because that war was the glory of the Pasta family, but it was a disgrace to the Faisan soldiers,
Hundreds of thousands of regular troops were rescued by a private legion. And as the rear army of the palace to cover the evacuation of most of the people, the survivors owe the Pasta family a big favor, if the people of the Pasta family are allowed to enter the military department. The tide rises and the position of the Minister of War is that of the Pasta family, that. It's not what those bigwigs of the Ministry of Military Affairs want to see, nor does it mean that the royal family of Faisan wants to see, with a private elite army of 40,000 people, and then as the Minister of Military Affairs of Feshan, the power of the Pasta family has touched the bottom line of the royal family
It is necessary to block the Pasta family from entering the military department, otherwise it will be a huge hidden danger! The inner thoughts of the upper echelons of the military are like this, but they are tacitly acquiescing, just like the situation in front of them, although most of the officers and soldiers have not yet figured out how this promising raid war, how they have slipped from the victor to the dilemma of being killed by the enemy on their backs, but it does not affect everyone's judgment, with the shocking shout, the entire regiment suddenly erupted with a decisive breath like forty years ago, in the tragic war that almost wiped out the entire family of men,
When the frenzy of black cavalry surging like the wind like layers of walls! When the horse's hooves roared like thunder and could not be distinguished, but only rumbled, when the earth trembled, and the eyes were full of tall war horses like monsters,
The whole legion was surprisingly quiet, the wind hit the face, and only cold, "If your sacrifice can give the people behind you a chance to live, then it's worth it, you must live! A captain of the Fishan pikemen, who was about thirty years old and standing in the front row, glanced at his younger brother in the archer array in the rear, and calmly put down the metal cover on the helmet, blocking his somewhat miserable face, although the helmet face had almost no effect in the face of the impact of a large group of cavalry, it was completely psychological, but he hoped to hold on for one more wave, so that the brothers in the back could have a better chance of survival, and the archers should be able to survive to the end!
"Kill"
The black cavalry on the opposite side flew over and pressed, the bayonet spear was like lightning, and suddenly penetrated his body, and the whole person was picked up by the high-speed sprint of the war horse, so that the squadron leader was inserted into the array of the Fishan army behind him, and the bayonet gun crashed in, and the imperial cavalry on the war horse was picked up, and a striking column of bright red blood suddenly rolled up a piece of blood, and the shape of the corpse falling from the horseback was like a weed swept by the wind, and the blood exploded at the front end of the spear, like an explosive red tide,
"Stop them!" a general of the legion was covered in blood, the sword in his hand had long been broken, and now he was carrying a spear, and the position of his palm was drenched with broken blood
In front of him, the Imperial cavalry swarmed and pressed up, and the spur spears in their hands pierced into the bodies of the Fishan soldiers, and then they shook off the cavalry knives in their hands and slashed at the heads of the chaotic Fishan soldiers below from top to bottom, and the sturdy helmets were also chopped off, and the brains flew sideways,
The infantry bayonet slammed into the cavalry's shield and was directly broken into several pieces by the recoil force, and the pikeman's tiger mouth directly burst open.
The horse's hooves sounded thousands of thunders, the snow knife was like a wave forward, bringing up a rush of blood, the head of the big man was split into the air by the arc of the knife, and the war horse swept like thunder in the plain terrain, like a ** The influx, even with the tenacity and madness of the Pastanon private soldiers, was beaten and retreated, the queue was almost uncontrollable, the opponent was too fierce from the impact, the brutal momentum of the battle to the death, the black cavalry armor soaked in blood, and the imperial war knife that was blurry and cold in the sun made every Faisan soldier's heart tremble!
Helena Fortress, the fire is still burning under the city, like an isolation belt, separating the tragic battle outside from the fortress, the battle situation outside is being reflected in the eyes of the commander, the commander of the seventh banner of the Imperial Central Army, in the eyes of Tanlishus, in the square inside the fortress behind him, the wind blew from the square, Thalishus raised his hand on the city wall, his eyes narrowed into a line, the Pastanon regiment deserves to be the best elite of the Fessan platoon, and it can hold out for so long under the raid behind the back of more than 10,000 imperial cavalry, but what can it be,
"Fill the earth!"
As soon as he gave the order, the imperial soldiers above the city gate threw the bags of earth that had been piled up on the city wall from the city wall, and a large amount of dry soil fell from the air like rain in the flames below the city gate, and the ground was isolated.
"The emperor in the city is about to rush out!"
The infantry regiment that Pastanon specially left behind quickly formed a team, and the crowd of people was crowded in front of the moat, and the emperor in the fortress rushed out at this time, and the face of the infantry commander was a hint of mockery, I already knew that you would play a hand, do you think that only you can rush, and we will not? Lord Pastanon has already made arrangements,
If the emperor dares to open the city gate, he will take the opportunity to attack Helena's fortress, in this impossible situation, to reverse the entire pattern of the battle, only by taking Helena, with this fortress is firmly backed, the imperial cavalry will retreat
"Everyone's ready! As soon as the door opens, rush me!"
The infantry commander stood in front in heavy armor, raised his shield and long sword, and in front of him the defense line of the drawbridge, the iron gate of the closed Helena Fortress slowly opened in front of everyone, and the breathing of the Fishan soldiers paused neatly at this moment, and their bodies began to become as tight as a bowstring, and they rushed across the drawbridge to the fortress gate, blocking the gate first, and then saying, "Kill, rush over!"
The soldiers of the Fishan Army shouted excitedly, rushing towards the half-open fortress gate like a landslide and tsunami, and everyone felt that great feats awaited them ahead, and the iron gate of the fortress was pushed and creaked, revealing a black heaviness, as if even the light was absorbed by this black
The wind was blowing, and the red tassels were like fire, "What is it?"
The Faisan soldiers who rushed to the front fought a cold war, and the moment he saw it clearly, his whole heart was cold, and his steps to run forward stopped suddenly, but it was too late, it was a whole team of black heavy armor solemnly lined up, all of them were fine scale armor made by imperial craftsmen, and heavy armored cavalry with iron helmets and red tassels on horses,
In the ears of the soldiers, it seemed that they could hear the sound of a small piece of metal from the slight striking of the armor leaves, the cavalry on horseback was tall and strong, the armor covered the legs from the neck to the knee below, in addition to the melee chopping axe and the powerful assault crossbow in the hand, there was also a row of light javelins behind some heavy armored cavalry, and even the wind blowing there carried a smell of blood, and the entire sortie array was like a huge triangle,
The leading heavy cavalry suddenly spread out a banner waving in the wind, it was a falcon guard flag wrapped in a golden rust ring, "Retreat, heavy ......" The soldier's terrified cry had not yet been fully shouted, and the black steel torrent had rushed out of the fortress gate, and the heavy heavy armored war horses knocked out all the Faisan soldiers who were crowded between the city gate and the moat, (to be continued......
