1824 The Death of a Famous General (5)

In the headquarters of Danny City, there was a strange atmosphere, a Gallic general looked left and right around a coffin, and carefully expressed his opinion, "These coffins are used to restrain those 120 spies!" Before his words fell, Trensk next to him said disdainfully, "No, you and I both know that those people are not spies of the Falcon Army at all, how could the Vekia Falcon arrange the coffin!" The robbed white general's face was red with grievance, and he raised his head and asked Trensk angrily, "What does that mean!" Are these coffins used to intimidate us?"

"Who knows, how many people can guess the mind of the Vecchia Falcon!, or there is, such as the Consul General!" Trenske shrugged his shoulders, his gaze glanced ahead, and Algernonkatya's right hand was caressing the top of a black coffin very carefully,

The rough top surface of the roof is not smooth, but a little frizzy and prickly, and the things that are made in a hurry are not carefully frosted, but the black paint on it is very bright, and there is a hint of black on his face, Algernonkatya's eyes are burning and bloodshot, he took a deep breath, and his hand violently uncovered a coffin board, "Sure enough, it is empty inside"

Algernonkatya's pupils constricted unnaturally,

In his opinion, the coffins were not empty, but filled with the mockery of the Vecchia falcon for the farce he had directed and staged. There were a hundred and twenty coffins like this, lined up in front of the Gallic Commander-in-Chief on the Western Front, "Damn, you can't see it!" Algernonkatya clenched his fingers into fists, and said in a heavy nasal voice with an ugly face, "This is a warning to us." If you want to leave Danny, you must be prepared to lie down in these coffins! This is an invitation to us to fight!"

The expressions on the generals' faces stiffened, and all the chatter disappeared without a trace. Even a guy as bold as Trensk, who said that the Vechia Falcon was nothing great all day long, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "It is rumored that the god of war, Vekia Falcon, has never been defeated in battle since the day of its war, and it has also set a shocking record of defeating a country with 100,000 troops defeating 300,000 enemy troops and directly overthrowing a country." Lescott, the commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment in the general, whispered that as one of the most elite unit commanders in the Northern Gallic Army, his opinion was quite strong. He pointed out that even if the Falcon is not personally commanded on the battlefield, it will put pressure on the opponent and directly lead to a decline in the combat capability of the enemy.

"According to the fortified city of Danny, our army will not feel the pressure of field confrontation, once it leaves the city to rely on, it will be difficult to say that kind of situation" Lescott's stern expression stopped, "so our army must not fight with it!"

"yes. Our army must not choose to fight in the field!" Transk nodded in agreement. Although it is said verbally that no one is afraid of 100,000 against 100,000, the contrast is obvious, the morale of the other side is like a rainbow, and it has broken into the Danny Plateau with a momentum like a bamboo, and the morale of the army has reached its peak, while the troops of this side were first frustrated by Kozi and then collapsed at Gramburg. In order to carry out the plan to lure the enemy into depth, they retreated again and again, and the low morale of the army has reached the bottom line. The field battle between the two armies is obviously not good for our army, and we can choose not to agree! Can the Vekia Falcon still force us to fight outside the city?"

A middle-aged general's face looked a little hesitant, he looked up at the uncertain look of the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Algernon Katya, and said slowly, "But if it's a letter of invitation from Vecchia Falcon, I'm afraid it won't be something that can be pushed off so easily! I don't know why, I always have a very bad premonition" "Bad premonition?" Yes, just before the execution, I saw the Vikia Falcon go to the appointment in person, and I felt that all the initiative seemed to be out of our control when that person appeared! Don't forget, bringing the enemy into your own layout and forcing him to go down is the usual style of the Vichia Falcon! Since he saw through our calculations, how could he be indifferent! Now he has sent these 120 coffins, as if he had prepared them for us in advance" "What...... What, don't say that, it's really unsettling! Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!" The generals felt a chill in their backs when they heard this, and their eyes fell on the pitch-black coffin in a panic, and even Algernonkatya's face looked unnatural, and his mind flashed to the Falcon camp that quietly leaned in the direction of the river last night, could it be that the Vekia Falcon really had some arrangement to force him out of the city to start an unfavorable field battle with him?

"Big ...... There is an anomaly on the river!" said an attendant who stumbled over and looked horrified,

His words made Algernonkatya look startled, the river, does the Falcon really want to repeat the old trick and use the river to attack the strong defenses of Danni City, with full of confusion, Algernonkatya climbed the tall wall of Danni, the scene on the river in the distance made his face ugly, "snap" his hand because of too much force, broke a wooden plank on the battlement, and the generals who went up the city wall with him were already collectively stunned, looking at the river in the distance with bulging eyes,

They never imagined that they would see such a "spectacular" scene, but the more spectacular it was, the more the generals' hearts sank into the cold, no wonder, no wonder the Vekia Falcon was so sure that it forced its side to start a field battle outside the city, and it was simply fearless!

I saw countless wooden rows like a long dragon that could not see the head and tail, spreading down from the upstream of the river, the wooden rafts were composed of felled and trimmed logs, the river had been smoothed down after the last flood discharge, and the wooden rafts were flowing down the river in an orderly manner, and the Falcon Army had already pulled up huge barrages on both sides of the river.

The soldiers stood by the river, holding long hooks in their hands, and constructed the rafts that flowed towards the bank, which were loaded with grain, dried meat, and even wine, and the number of rafts could not be counted, and the unloading of supplies from them continued until the sun set over the river, for a whole afternoon. There was an endless supply of wooden rafts, and there seemed to be no end in sight, and the supplies were piled up in the river into hills. The number of them cannot be counted, but it is conservatively estimated that it is enough to support 100,000 Falcon troops for a month! Horse-drawn carts carrying supplies come and go endlessly.

"Bastard!"

Algernonkatya slammed his fist on the battlements, his face turned earthy, and blood flowed from between his fingers.

The direction of the platoon came from the upper reaches of the river, indicating that the Falcon Army's supplies had already been stockpiled upstream, and he had predicted that the Falcon Army would have escaped the Kozi trap. At least some material losses will be suffered, the supply of 100,000 Falcon Army is not a small number, and the opponent's logistics line must be under great pressure. And it must be very tense, plus the muddy roads caused by Kezi, the supplies in the rear should still be struggling in the mud, intermittently supplying the front line. The Falcon is in a better position than itself. But it's not much better, but the situation in front of him is telling him, it's just his own wishful thinking and stupid idea,

The frustration of being fooled again made his spirit have a tendency to collapse,

Far from being cut off, the Falcon Army's supplies were outrageously abundant, and what a grain was there! At least one province or more had stockpiles. I really don't know how the Vekia Falcon managed to transport so much material upstream to get it, it's so convenient. Directly able to use the river to send supplies down the river, these grains should be enough to support 100,000 Falcon troops trapped in Danny City for a month, this is a premeditated arrangement, that cruel bastard mercilessly pierced through his biggest weakness, and shattered all his fantasies,

There are nearly 300,000 troops and civilians in the city of Danni, according to the report submitted by the logistics officer, the food in the city is not enough, even if it takes the ration of one meal a day, it cannot support more than seven days, and choosing to break through after three days is already the limit that the army can maintain the supply, looking at the mountains of materials piled up on the river by the Falcon Army, Algernon Katya's body shook, he felt a trace of powerless decadence, five fingers were deeply sunk into the palm of his hand, and there was a pain in his heart,

It's so poisonous!

Such a large-scale delivery of materials is simply blocking his strategy of relying on the gradual reduction of military and civilian supplies to delay time, because in the case of seeing so many materials arrived by the enemy outside the city, as long as such an order is issued, everyone in the city will know that there is a shortage of food in the city, and the Falcon Army outside the city has too much food to eat, and under the siege of the army, the panic in the hearts of the people is the most terrible, like a vine that cannot be pruned, as long as there are rumors in the city, the qiē where he was before will be quickly overturned,

Because the whole Danny will think that as long as he wants, the Falcon Army can turn the entire Danny into a dead city in a month without a single soldier, and the number of up to 200,000 civilians will be a more terrible force than a flood once they are in turmoil, and the turmoil will soon spread like a fire point in the barren grass in various places in the city, and the army will be exhausted in the brutal suppression everywhere, and finally the panic will spread to the army, unless the army eats people, it will definitely not be able to support a month, and it has become an imminent matter to launch a breakthrough in the shortest possible time, and the battle with the Falcon Army is inevitable, and unconsciously, he has been forced into a corner!

"Go back and prepare, send someone to tell the Falcon Army outside the city, for the glory of the warriors, our army will start a dignified battle with them in three days!" Algernon Katya let out a long sigh, the gloomy sky above him was like a sign before a heavy rainstorm, the frenzied wind blew patches of sand from the plateau wasteland, and his mind flashed the empty coffin, in three days, it would be over, I wonder if one of them would be his own?

In the early hours of September 7, the last day of the Battle of Dearnney

The sky was overcast, the wind blew through the grass, rolling the broken grass to the sky, and the killing intent went straight to the sky, under the city of Danny, 110,000 Gallic Northern Army left the fortified city of Danni, and spread a huge array outside the city, and the well-equipped' Gallic Northern Army infantry cautiously lined up on the muddy land, although the name was a field battle, Algernon Katya still played a small trick, he merged the archers of the Gallic army into the infantry cluster, relying on the city wall to disperse, forming an attack cluster that could be far and near, crowded,

"One qiē, all for Gaul!" Algernonkatya stood at the head of the city of Danni, looking at the army spread out under the city with complicated eyes, this is a "battle to the death" either break through or die under the city of Danni, spears like a forest, battle flags like a sea, enough to 'stir up' anyone's ambition, in addition to the infantry group, about 10,000 Gallic light cavalry also drove out of the city.

These Gallic cavalrymen wore leather helmets, light cavalry chain mail, and were armed with three-meter-long bayonets. The horses' hooves raised crumbles of dirt and rolled up smoke and dust, and they ran to the side of the formation, like a sharp knife on the left side of the huge formation, leading the light cavalry, Viscount Atuya, a middle-aged red-haired general with a red velvet helmet on his head, at the head of the line. He looked ahead with a determined gaze, and on his side, hundreds of infantry squadrons lined out. Lined up in unison, the phalanx was as neat as a ruler to measure

Could this be the last battle of the Glorious Northern Army? The generals who stepped into the battlefield with all kinds of emotions, the blood of the soldiers made them also excited by such a majestic military appearance in front of them, under the city of Danny. The flag of the Northern Army of Gaul was as turbulent as the waves of the sea.

"Woo, woo!" "Men and horses are like black dust clouds, and the generals of the various armies are making the final battle mobilization "Take out all your strength, and don't forget, you are the glorious Northern Army of the Empire!" Tyrensk, wearing a red cloak and holding the Legion Battle Flag in one hand, ran in front of his troops on his war horse, while raising his command sword in his hand, "Use the weapons in your hands." Crush the enemy on the opposite side, just as you crush the Slavs. Crush them and meet the victory" "As soon as we approach, the enemy's shooters will waver!" The 8th Infantry Regiment Lescott hysterically shouted to his men lined up in tortoiseshell formation, "With courage and glory as a shield, for the sake of Gaul, for the glory of the soldiers, go forward with all your might!"

On the opposite side of the Gallic army, the fat man slowly raised his hand, and the 100,000 falcon army also sounded a stern voice,

Smack. The huge siege shield was erected, like a long black wall erected on the ridge in the distance, the steel shield shone in the sun, countless spears poked out from the gap between the shields, and the sharp one-foot-long blade also revealed a terrifying murderous aura in the gloomy light, constituting the most resistant first echelon

Five meters behind is the second gradient of tens of thousands of fingers of steel to make horizontal spears of the Imperial hoplites, these Imperial heavy infantry with eagle wing helmets, heavy armor, even the face is metal half-faced, the weapons in the hands in addition to the original horizontal spears used for combat, there are also a variety of melee staggered heavy flail, mace, bayone, the third echelon is the Imperial Central Army blocking crossbowmen composed of winged arrays, crossbowmen in two rows, the crossbowmen are half squatting and standing in two rows, the eyes are like arrows staring at the noisy Gauls in the distance,

100,000 falcons, green woods, yellow deserts, brown fields. Golden fields and meadows. Now, all of them are covered by a black military formation, and it seems that there is only one color left between heaven and earth, and that is black

"Want to break out on the flanks?"

The fat man put down the lookout glasses in his hand, and seemed to be completely indifferent to the countless military flags in front of him that almost covered the front of Danny City. On his left hand, the Thor Sighters were nervously measuring the numbers, and everyone looked very excited. In fact, the relevant number of the opposite bombardment distance has long been measured, but in order to ensure that there is no deviation, the observer hand is still meticulous in the number of calculations, more than a hundred 'doors' of the army Thor raised the black and faint muzzle, in the face of the 110,000 Gallic Northern Army that has become a trapped beast to the death, the pressure of the fat man is not easy, the Northern Army breakthrough is an inevitable choice, but let it choose when to break through, it is indeed something that you can do,

"Algernonkatya, don't let me down!"

The fat man licked his lips that were dry due to the heat in his body, and looked at the situation in Danny through the lookout glass in his hand, the 110,000-strong Gallic Northern Army spread out under the city of Danny, and the lit spears cut through the earth like a huge light, revealing a tragic sunset.

"Let's get started!"

Algernonkatya decided to attack first, because there is a natural unfavorable barrier of the swamp, once it is preempted by the Falcon Army, the crossbowmen of the Falcon Army alone are enough to slaughter the troops in the battle below the city with a one-sided image, and the main direction of this operation is to break through to the east, so the center of gravity of the military formation is also arranged on the right side of the light cavalry assault force, where in addition to the cavalry, there are 30,000 light infantry who can launch an assault, with the extremely fast light cavalry as the blade, and the light infantry cluster as the embedded heavy hammer, tearing a gap in the blocking direction of the Falcon Army formation, and then the army is embedded, dragging the Falcon Army, which is good at long-range, into the quagmire of melee, although they may face heavy losses, the possibility of a breakthrough will also be greatly increased

The herald ordered the cavalry to gallop all the way from the rear, shouting all the way: "Cavalry attack, cavalry attack!" The wind howled, and the grass and blades flew wildly. Tens of thousands of Gallic hussars clenched their spears tightly, and their breathing became fierce and rapid. The face looked both stern and cold. Because they know how heavy and terrible the task is before them. Every heart contains the heart of mortality!

"Assault of the whole army!"

Viscount Atuya, wearing a red velvet helmet, raised his bayonet in his hand, and countless light cavalry surged out like clusters of arrows popping out of the bowstring, like a flood bursting the embankment.

The sound of horses' hooves rolled like thunder, and the light cavalry lowered their spears like a boulder rolling down a mountain.

They headed towards the flanks of the Falcon Army. The speed is getting faster and faster, and the running turns into a sprint again, and then it moves forward at a terrifying speed, and the momentum is so amazing that it is as unstoppable as a flash flood and tsunami erupt!

This is the first time since the Gallic Empire and the Falcon Empire have fought with cavalry that the infantry of the Falcon Empire has been stormed!

The hundreds of 'door' Thor cannons placed at the highest point of the ridge were the first to roar violently. The three squadrons added up to more than 100 'guns' of large-caliber Army Thor, and the whole platoon 'shot' out fierce flames, and the fiery red flames swept over the sky with the burning Thor bullets, making a sharp sound, and then fell on the side of the charging cavalry like scattered flowers.

The "boom" suddenly triggered an unprecedented earthquake, and the smoke and flames completely covered the ground for more than 200 meters in less than two minutes. !

"For Gaul! Forward" the Gallic hussars made a voice at the same time, like a tragic elegy that echoed before the fall of the empire......!
