1303 Sword of the Empire VI

As the morning sun climbed up the middle line of the sky, countless black lines flashing with the color of the underworld began to gradually emerge from the hills behind the river bank, the earth roared, and more than ten falcon banners were blown by the fierce plain wind, accompanied by a rapid sound of horses' hooves appeared in the hills.

"What's going on? What about the main force of the Normans?" Statunko appeared on the beach of yesterday's fierce battle with a hundred falcon cavalry, strangled the war horse under his crotch, the eyes of the imperial important minister flashed a trace of solemnity, and the empty scene in front of him flashed a trace of unexpected surprise in his eyes, according to the plan, the main force of Normandy should be bitten by the second cavalry flag regiment here, and then like a fish that has been hooked, attracted to this section of the river, but on the empty river beach in front of him, it is obvious that there is an accident in the plan,

The battlefield is always the closest place to hell, Although this confrontation ended with the chaotic rout of the Normans on the side of the Normans, but the Normans who were hacked to death by the Imperial cavalry on the river beach still exceeded the thousands, it can be seen that the battle encountered by the Second Cavalry Banner Regiment last night was very fierce, the entire river beach in front of them was carried by the war horses of minced meat and blood, after the river washed several times, it was still filled with a strong disgusting smell of blood, many Normans corpses, still soaked in the shallow water not far away, with the rolling waves rushing up the river, piled up on the river beach, white flowers floated with the waves, such a scene dragged out a hundred meters long in the entire river section, "The main forces of the Normans did not bite the bait. Or did the hounds of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment accidentally lose its target?"

Statunko snorted heavily, a chill flashed in his eyes, the main force of the Southern Army had completely annihilated the three thousand Normandy cavalry chasing Nilai, but the abnormal situation here made the original plan a little uncertain, but one thing is certain,

That is the right to decide this war. Already firmly in their own hands overnight, the Normans had no chance of turning over

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner, Van Lentien, led several cavalry squadron leaders and galloped in the direction where he was, the horses' hooves raised the bloody soil on the river beach, and at a distance of 20 meters from Statunko, Van Lentien quickly turned over from his horse, "Van Lentien, what's going on here?

Van Lentien got down on one knee. An ugly condensation on his face said, "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, I led a night attack last night, who knew that as soon as the main force of Normandy fought, there was a big rout immediately! Because it was too dark, there were Routs of Normans everywhere, and it was difficult for my subordinates to judge the truth of the rout for a while, and they did not dare to pursue too deeply, so that the main force of the enemy army escaped by night!" "You mean that the main force of Normandy ran away?" Statunko's face froze for a moment. His eyes swept over the tidal flats in front of him, and he took a deep breath of cold air, and at this time, several other generals of the Southern Army also came up from behind. Several people's eyes were immediately attracted by the battlefield in front of them, "This luck is really not an ordinary back!"

Several generals shook their heads secretly, finally having such an opportunity to create an excellent fighter. The enemy fled without fighting, so that the whole plan was disjointed, and although the battle was forceful, the task was not accomplished. The enemy was crushed at the first touch, and no one expected this!"Although we didn't pursue in time, our army still beheaded 5,700 people!" Van Luntien gritted his teeth, raised his head and responded, "And his subordinates have already sent scout cavalry to follow, the Normandy army has been scattered and chaotic, unable to maintain its formation, and most of them are infantry, it shouldn't be too fast, I believe there will be news soon!"

Statunko was silent for a while, and sighed, in the troubled times, human life is as worthless as mustard! Turning his head, he glanced at the plains on the other side of the river that began to turn into hills, and said in a heavy tone: "Forget it, it is already very difficult to be able to do this! We have more important tasks, and we can't delay here for too long!"

"My subordinates ask your lord to allow our army to stay alone and continue to complete the mission of pursuing the remnants of Normandy!" Van Lentien said, placing his right hand on his chest and giving a military salute to Statúenko

"Are you sure?," Statun looked at him with some concern, and said, "The main force of the army will soon march north, and your 7,000 cavalry will pursue the main force of Normandy, this decision is a bit risky."

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured!" Fan Luntieen looked resolute and straightened his body, and said affirmatively, "On the contrary, his subordinates think that this is the best opportunity for our army to pursue!"

"Oh, let's take a look!" Statunko looked at Van Lentien with a hint of surprise on his face

Van Lentien said with a solemn expression, "Judging from the current comparison of troops, the main force of the Normans has won a battle with the Salanders, but in a short period of time, with momentum, it will strongly defeat the main force of the coalition of 14,000 people, and its own losses will be a lot."

Van Luntien's voice stopped, and his whole body exuded a momentum of victory, and said, "Last night's defeat is enough to prove that the Normandy army has been exhausted in continuous battles, and now the 3,000 forward cavalry pursuing His Highness Nilai have been cut down by the adults, plus the 5,000 people lost on the river beach, even if the Normans gather all the defeated troops, the strength that can be assembled is at most 15,000 people, and the strength of our army of 7,000 is enough!"

"What if the Normans don't come out of the fortress?" asked Statunko, with a slightly gloomy face

"Relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, even if you can't completely annihilate the main force in Normandy, at least you can make the other side choose to shrink and hold on and not dare to move at will, so that for the main force targeting the hinterland of Normandy, it can just play a role in containing Zuò!" Van Luntieen replied with a firm expression

"My lord, I also think that Lord Van Lentien's analysis is correct, and it is worth a try!" Cleveland stood up from among the generals. He and Van Luntien are both generals transferred from the adjutant this time, and the same background also makes him willing to help Van Luntien "Yes, I also think that it is very necessary to leave a force behind the main force that can contain the main force in Normandy" Another general said "Anyway, the back is mainly a fortified battle, and the role of the cavalry is limited, so it is better to stay in a useful place!" Several generals said gossiply, the meaning of favoritism is obvious, in fact, the cavalry stays for them, it is also very beneficial,

If it comes to assault operations, the infantry is completely unable to compete with the cavalry, and if Van Lentiern's cavalry remains, the chances of the infantry regiment to obtain the first battle merit will be greatly increased

"Well, I promise you"

Statunko was silent for a while, then pulled the reins sharply, and looked directly at Van Lentien, "You may miss a lot of opportunities because of this decision!, but I appreciate your persistence, you have shown me another kind of Imperial soldier, who will fight to the death to maintain his dignity!" "Your Excellency is too much of a prize!" Van Lentien replied with a resolute face, "The enemy slipped away from my eyes, thank you, Lord for giving me a chance to save my reputation!" "Okay, good luck!" Statunenko raised his horsewhip and shouted to the generals behind him, "You have all heard, then convey the battle order, except for the 2nd Cavalry Banner Regiment, which continues to pursue the remnants of Normandy, the other armies turn eastward, and aim at Barahona, the gateway to Normandy and Kyoto! Ten days later, I will see the gate of Normandy Kyoto'" Yes!" several generals responded neatly, each running to his own flag, and the army rushed eastward,

On the evening of February 15, 3rd year of the Falcon Empire calendar,

The mountain road in front of him was muddy, and the Normandy rout of tens of thousands of people dragged out a long loose formation on the road, and the listless soldiers drooped their heads, stretched a long distance on the road between the hills, and staggered, and under the gloomy sky, the whole army exuded a self-defeating twilight,

The Normandy Grand Duke Cavibold stopped his horse in the middle of the road, his eyes swept over the beautiful hills in front of him like pushing waves, this is his country, the golden sunset in the distance is shining from the top of the hills, a qiē looks so calm, after careful arrangement, the main force of Normandy is here, successfully defeated the northern coalition army of Salander advancing along the east, at that time Cavibode believed that the Normandy army was strong and invincible, but then the Falcon Imperial Army, on the Carvebod dream shattered on the Karl River beach, in front of the real Falcon elite, the Normandy Army's combat power is simply not worth it

As Van Lentien said, until now, Kavibo has not figured out how this encounter was defeated, there are routs everywhere, chaotic queues are full of mudflats, he can't imagine at all, this is 2 days ago, with a morale-like offensive, killed Salander's 14,000 allied troops bloodied tiger and wolf division, if it weren't for the desperate delay of the enemy in the middle, and the escape of the right flank of the coalition army, this ambush battle can be classified as a classic, but in just 2 days, all the qiē have been turned around,

The warriors under his command actually led the Falcon Army to defeat before a battle just because of a sentence that the Falcon Army was coming, and they ran for more than 50 miles to stop their footsteps, and the army of more than 20,000 people could gather no more than 10,000 people, "Is this the will of heaven?"

This hero's gaze was full of vicissitudes, sweeping the earth under the sun on the eve of his eyes, and his eyes were suddenly moist,

A qiē is like a dream, if the Falcon Army does not come, if the Salanders do not land, then this year will be the year of Normandy becoming the regional consul, he has fought for it all his life, the expectations of the Normans for a hundred years, and now, Yiqiē has been reduced to a bubble that cannot be picked up with successive fiascos, (to be continued.) )
