1959 Battle of the Great Lakes Region

"Boom"

The muzzle of the Thor cannon continued to spray firelight, and the smoke with a strong smell of sulfur was blown away by the lake wind, and I saw the rays of the Thor bullets dragging black smoke across the void in the Great Lakes region, and the turbulence generated by the landing explosion produced a fog similar to red, which permeated the position of three hundred meters in front of the Falcon Formation.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the scattered charging coalition troops seemed to have encountered a huge catastrophe,

As if stepping on a huge crater, countless objects flew up, some flying high into the sky, and then falling in an irregular curve under the gaze of everyone, including the remains of the corpses of the soldiers who were blown up, and the entire shield that was blown up and twisted and deformed.

The core battle of the third war of Putao, the Battle of the Great Lakes region, kicked off with the unique rhythm of the salvo of the Falcon Navy's curved Thor, the artillery bombarders from the Imperial Navy were skillfully cleaning the barrels of the guns, stuffing new ammunition bags, and the command sentries located on the sides raised the red flag in their hands high, "Boom" Countless fires erupted again, white smoke filled the lake, and Thor's base wheels moved backwards on the dirt platform, pushing out a huge trace, although it was the first time to participate in a 100,000-strong army battle, the navy shooting watch xiàn came out in very good condition"

The sound of the cannon was intense, and the shooters were accustomed to the deafening roar from the front muzzle,

They turned the lakeside into a sandy area by the sea, and used the excavated loose soil to build a one-meter-high stable firing battery, coupled with the better curved firing angle of the Navy Thor than the Army Thor, they easily completed the arrangement of shelling targets 300 meters away in front without the need for the front army to disperse.

One hundred and fifty Thor is not a neat salvo, the commander sent by the Admiralty is from the Imperial Army, and he is very clear about the steps of the army battle, and the troops that generally run at the front will not be the main force, but often some lightly armed commandos. It's not cost-effective to pour Thor's firepower on them,

So he only asked the fifty Thor arranged on the left flank to suppress the 300-meter distance ahead, and the remaining one hundred Thor arranged in the middle army and the right side were adjusting the muzzle, and the coalition army that suffered a fierce blow lost two or three thousand people in a hurry, but for the coalition army with more than 70,000 people, such losses were still bearable, and when the stunned coalition general was asked by the chaotic subordinates what tactics should be used to attack, a general finally came to his senses, the horror on his face was long gone, and his eyes were glowing. That kind of light is like a vulture seeing a fat prey that has just choked,

That's Thor! The coalition general looked at the place where white smoke kept coming out in the distance, and his fingers clenched the hilt of the cross sword made a gurgling sound, Thor is the sharpest heavy weapon of the Falcon Imperial Army, with the power to destroy cities and countries, and it is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money,

Whoever captures Thor and explores its structure can produce it completely by himself,

The power of Thor. If you look at the Falcon Empire's sweeping through the north-central region of Obarro in just a few years, you know that it is a superweapon that can make a kingdom move towards the foundation of the empire, even if it is worth killing half of the people, and in terms of the size of its salvo. The Falcon Army's Thor is at least more than thirty gates, so heavy, while the Falcon Army on the opposite side only has 20,000 people, and the coalition forces alone have more than 70,000 here. The area where the two armies fought was a flat beach where there was no danger to defend, and the distance between the two armies was now less than 500 meters, and various factors showed that it was in favor of the coalition forces

"What are you doing in a daze! Pressing it with all your might! What are you afraid of! We are outnumbered. What if the other party has Thor, five times the ratio of troops, it doesn't matter what tactics he doesn't have tactics! Ants bite the elephant to death, give it all to me!" The coalition general licked his chapped lips, and the general's cross sword in his hand plunged into the mud under his feet, and his face turned red as if he had been beaten with chicken blood,

"Tell sù ahead, whose troops captured a thunder god, a bounty of 100,000!" There are even some coalition generals who offer exhilarating high prices, and under the heavy reward, the coalition forces burst out with powerful momentum, and the cavalry mixed with the infantry frantically charged towards the falconry, against the roaring explosion, completely ignoring the pain of the hot debris hitting the face,

"Bastard, are these guys crazy!" Varisian stared at the coalition army column desperately moving forward, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the coalition force burst out unexpectedly and the momentum was still very shocking,

"Charge!" The coalition troops rushed out of the blast area, bursts of fierce shouts from their mouths, countless soldiers poured out of the smoke formed by the explosion like a flood, and the oncoming arrow clusters hit the infantry's shields with a crashing sound like a torrential rain falling to the ground, many people were shot by sharp crossbow arrows and overturned, but because there were more people charging behind,

"Kill, a thunder god 100,000 gold coins, regardless of identity, immediately give it a noble!"

All kinds of encouraging voices made the eyes of the coalition soldiers red, and now who cares what formation, the muddy mud of countless pairs of feet rumbled, and they rushed forward with a forest of bayonet guns, unstoppable, that feeling even the coalition generals felt that the goddess of victory had lifted her lace skirt to themselves at this moment. As long as the Falcon Army's long-range advantage is compressed, the strength advantage of this side is enough for the other side to tear me apart.

"Order the crossbowmen to attack!"

Varisian raised his hand, there were 60,000 troops participating in this battle, according to their respective subordinates, Varisien's 110,000 Central Army and 30,000 Local Army formed the middle line to bear the main pressure, Restotti's flag regiment was responsible for the left side, and the Yagrin Banner Regiment was responsible for the right side, and the horse's hooves of the cavalry rushed in front of the 20,000 imperial crossbowmen of the Chinese army's main formation, shouting "Order, shoot the whole team!" The soldiers of the crossbowman team of the Imperial Local Army, who participated in the battle for the first time, began to line up nervously, and the crossbows in their hands were neatly raised into the sky, and they were fired continuously in the order of each platoon

Crash, collapse, collapse!" The sound of the bowstring in the direction of the shooting queue was like a burst of torn cotton, and the shooting was a little scattered, and it would be good for recruits to go to the battlefield to have such a look, neat and deadly, that at least a soldier with one or two combat experience could have,

Whoosh!Whoosh!"Arrow clusters hit the air, countless clusters of arrows flashing with cold light, like a flock of migrating birds jumping into the air in turn, and the torrential rain that turned into metal in the air poured on the heads of the running coalition soldiers, "Ah" The coalition soldiers flipped on their backs, screaming, the recruits' first shot was good, although not as accurate and deadly as the veterans, it was enough to deal with the offensive of the coalition army's dense queue. Clusters of sharp arrows pierced the bodies of the allied stormtroopers, bringing up patches of blood mist, and the recruits watched with wide eyes as the Allied soldiers in front of them rolled over, some of them couldn't believe that this was their own masterpiece

"See, there's nothing to fear, just hold your fingers steadily, and you can tear the enemy apart with your eyes!" In another team, the crossbowman captain loudly encouraged the soldiers,

At this time, the Congo-Africa forces finally began to attack. It was Reposti's left flank that was attacked, and Reposti held up the lookout glass in his hand.

Through the oval mirror, he looked solemnly at the unusually neat queue of non-infantry troops, these infantry had the red tassels of the Praetorian Guards on their heads, and the pace of advance was very fast, like a flame rolling forward, and about 30,000 non-infantry pressed in his direction.

Reposti ordered his troops to maintain a diagonal formation. And the news of a joint attack was sent to Varisian, who was in the middle, and soon a cross-network formed by a hundred Thors from the center and to the left began to launch a covering shelling of the front 200 meters. The overwhelming line of Thor shells, which Gangfei loved and hated, landed on the heads of the soldiers of the Janissaries like a torrential rain, and the dirt kicked up by the dense explosion was like an earth dragon rolling forward to turn the earth over. The people and vegetation on it were swept away, and the vast marshland shone like colored diamonds in the intersecting light.

"The other party still has Thor!Should we wait a little longer!" This time, the little emperor Gangfei finally did not lose his temper. But the number of Thor on the side of the Falcon Army gave him a bad premonition, and he asked the generals of the general legion next to him in a childish childish voice,

"Your Majesty, the main force of the coalition army has been pressed, and our army has no room to retreat!"

The general of the general of the legion gave advice to the little emperor next to him, and an older general said to the little emperor, "Although the Falcon Army on the opposite side is a little surprised by its fierce firepower, but its shortcomings are also obvious, the current table is like a painful struggle before death, and the gang and non side with five times the strength will not lose, now you only need to rush closer, and the other party will definitely collapse!"

The little emperor was said to be moved, he was too young to judge the situation on the battlefield, especially in this kind of 100,000-person scale battle, in his eyes, there were dead people everywhere, the arrow clusters of the falcon army on the opposite side and the thunder god poured over frantically, rolling up the dirt and smoke in the sky, scattering large pieces of dead corpses, the bright red blood exploded like plum blossoms, and the body that had lost consciousness was in the torrent of light and shadow formed by the arrow clusters, the arrows, the arrows, the arrows, the arrows, the countless arrow clusters flew over like sparrows flying over the scarecrow in the fields, it may be that there were too many dead people, and the little emperor's eyes were a little red

"Your Majesty, I will send cavalry to attack the opponent's Chinese army!" said a gray-haired veteran "The opponent's strength is a short board that cannot be restrained, and the opponent has been marching rapidly all night, and the spirit and body have reached a critical point, the one in front of me is just an illusion forcibly supported by the other party, and the stronger the opponent's expression, the more powerful it is, it proves that the other party has smelled the breath of defeat, this is a dying struggle!

"Well, this plan works"

The generals agreed, now the distance between the two armies is less than 200 meters, according to the speed of the cavalry is at most less than ten seconds, rushing over is enough to disrupt the current rhythm of the Falcon Army's shooting, as long as the Chinese army is in chaos, the incoming coalition forces can cut the Falcon Army from the middle, at that time the only result of the 20,000 Falcon Army is to die in battle or jump into the lake to escape

"Then let's do it, and put all our cavalry on it!"

The little emperor Gangfei's eyes flickered, and he decided to take a gamble, just like he described in the diary of his father, the former emperor Gangfei, many times, in the case of not being able to predict the future, it is not a choice to gamble, and his father held this mentality, standing out from many heirs and sitting on the throne of the emperor Gangfei,

"All the cavalry come with me"

Reske received the order to attack, turned over on the war horse, behind him there were about 5,000 cavalry stopped at the base camp of the Gangfei army, because the swamp area is not conducive to cavalry assault, so the troops sent up are Gangfei infantry, the coalition side that got the news has made way for a road, five thousand Gangfei cavalry murderously flattened the bayonet gun in his hand, and the sharp metal spear head flashed with a cold light "Charge!" Reske's legs were forced, the war horse was the first to rush out, the smoke in front was dispersing, the cavalry attacked with amazing momentum, the sound of horses' hooves shaking the ground was rapid and vigorous, and the five thousand Gangfei cavalry sent out a huge V-shaped attack line, which began to pour overwhelmingly from the direction of the Gangfei army's main formation.

"It's a cavalryman!"

Yaglins on the right side narrowed his eyes into a line, and under the deliberate arrangement, the right side where he was at the bottom of the falcon army's diagonal line, so he was not attacked, whether it was the coalition army or the Gangfei army, he was not stupid enough to hit the bottom of the slash, because this was equivalent to completely exposing his flank to the strong wrath of the falcon army,

"It's finally here!" Aglins licked his chapped lips excitedly and began to give orders, as there was no attack. The right side where he was calmly changed formation, like a pair of wings suddenly spread out to form a victorious V-shaped "Sniper Longbow Array" The strongest military formation of the Falcon Empire army quietly appeared in the smoke of Thor that had not completely dissipated, and the death scythe that had been embraced by the cavalry cluster that was rushing towards the front, the rapid bowstring vibrated like a rainstorm exploded, the salvo of three hundred heavy ballistas, and countless black dots were like locust swarms on the horizon, firing "hiss" at the side of the rushing non-cavalry The horses neighed in agony, and the thick steel bolts made the galloping horses tumble heavily. The Gangfei cavalry was thrown out like cans, and the belly of the war horse was torn by the heavy crossbow, mixed with internal organs and blood, and hit the ground heavily.

"Watch out for enemy arrows. Vertical Shield"

Seeing his companion rolling in front of him, a non-cavalry captain shouted in a panic, and then watched as the light of metal quickly amplified and fluttered in front of his eyes. Like a fly that was slapped to death by a violent clasp of hands, blood splattered, and half of his head was cut directly by the crescent moon at the tip of the crossbow arrow like a watermelon. The war horse under the crotch didn't know that the master was dead, he didn't slow down, and he was still running like crazy in front, the body of the just non-cavalry captain was dragged for dozens of meters before rolling in the mud, and countless powerful arrows came from the right side with a violent whistling sound,

"Bump"

The violent collision sparked red sparks, and the iron shield twisted and deformed and bounced into the air, and the non-cavalry found that the shield in their hands was not as thin as a piece of paper in front of the whistling sharp arrow, and the heavy crossbow and thick arrow shot through them mercilessly along with the shield, tearing their bodies apart,

The Resco wolf bèi rolled out of the ground for several meters

His beloved horse was hit by two heavy crossbows at the same time, almost in equal order, and the sudden pause threw Reske to the ground, and he immediately curled up behind the shattered corpse of his beloved horse, watching his cavalry be neatly sliced off, cold sweat on his forehead mixed with hot blood left from his cheeks,

His luck was good, but he hurt his forehead when he dropped his horse,

The other cavalry were not so lucky, the sudden attack of the heavy crossbow from the side hit the Gang Fei cavalry, the heavy ballista cluster ambushed by the gang Fei cavalry cluster was like being cut by a huge scythe that swept swiftly, the war horse showed a diagonal line to roll forward, the cavalry on it was either dropped off the horse, or was shot through the body by the rapid flying crossbow arrows, some cavalry was knocked off the horse by the strong heavy crossbow and nailed to the ground, or like Reske, only dared to lie behind the corpse to dodge, the ground was full of broken meat, blood stained the mud under the feet

"That's ......!"

Watching this scene, the little emperor of Gangfei shuddered in shock, looking at the right flank of the Falcon Army that suddenly erupted like a porcupine, his mind was blank, and the cavalry that kept rushing forward was like a blind target, and even brought in the large forces of the coalition army, and the cavalry group's exquisite cooperation and high degree of uniformity made this unstoppable assault operation an irrepressible disaster, and when the heavy crossbow from the side attacked, it was too late. It was as if they had been fanned against their bodies by the palms of giants, and a huge flesh fault opened wide in front of them.

"No, I can't fight!" "Feeling that the coalition side that hit the iron plate was the first to waver, when the greedy impulse was severely crushed, the coalition team began to retreat on a large scale, watching the soldiers constantly being hit by arrows around them, watching the rumbling explosion splash countless pieces of minced flesh around, the Marquis of Laurien, one of the coalition forces, flinched and feared and turned into a personal terrible terror, and the marquis issued an order like a wail, "Retreat!" Ignoring the other troops who were in chaos, he fled frantically with dozens of his own escort cavalry,

His first evacuation made the coalition forces completely chaotic,

Before fighting the Falcon Army, the Marquis Laurien once boasted that he was "just a desperate wild dog, and if he wants to fight those guys, he would rather fight the Vechia Falcon." It's really not addictive to just fight with his subordinates, at best it's just a piece of cake, but at this time, there is no way to do it, so I have to settle it" At this moment after making such a bold statement, the Marquis of Laurien had long been unaware of throwing these words to the corner of the battlefield, at this time he could only flee for his life, but in front of the escape, a large number of scattered miscellaneous soldiers appeared,

These motley soldiers looked at the oncoming galloping horses, they were already stupid, wearing thin linen clothes, and had no weapons, but they also made Laurien, who was like a frightened bird, almost frightened. At a glance, I realized that it was a farmer specially hired by the coalition to be responsible for carrying the wounded soldiers, "Bastard, the whole team rushes over!" The marquis, who felt humiliated, shouted hysterically, and the adjutant who heard the order couldn't help but doubt his hearing, "My lord, those are just farmers who carry wounded soldiers!" Are we ......" The adjutant approached the marquis's war horse, and before the voice was finished, the war horse of the Marquis Laurien had already galloped and knocked a stunned farmer out first,

"Since it's our people, why do you want to block my way and want to hinder me from turning in? Don't worry about so much, rush me at once! If you hear no, I say rush over!" In this way, the most tragic scene of the battle in the Great Lakes region occurred

Hu Cong, who was closely behind Laurien, rushed over these peasants without hesitation, showing the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the war itself to the fullest.

The other coalition cavalry did the same, trampling the Gangfei farmers to death without any scruples, and after the war, at least 3,000 Gangfei farmers died in this chaotic rout (to be continued......
