2008 Survive in Death
The morning light of the morning shone from the edge of the snow-white earth, gradually illuminating the earth, rivers, mountains, plains and forests, as if it had been washed again, the white spread of the earth, and the black lines marched forward, which was the imperial cavalry of the brigade, The procession swept across the earth like a black field, the horse's hooves were flying with snow and dust, and they were the fastest Imperial light cavalry, marching at the front with triangular javelins fluttering with the Imperial flag, advancing at great speed, and with a shout, they spread out like huge fans, and the morning wind blew these light cavalry blades and armor rattling,
Ten minutes later, the ground began to tremble violently, and the imperial assault cavalry queue equipped with chain mail began to enter this area, as the assault force of the imperial cavalry cluster, the assault cavalry were all wearing double chain mail, equipped with cavalry spears, and the horses stepped on the all-metal cavalry shield, with a fierce complexion, carrying an infantry crossbow, the whole was like a line of waves rolling, and the queue was tightly gathered, like two huge pincers surging forward, and the sun shone on it, flickering,
Behind this black rolling wave, there are the fewest numbers, the slowest and the slower, but the most dignified, like the imperial heavy cavalry of the general,
Because it is a march, so the heavy cavalry does not wear armor, but one person and two horses, one carries people, one carries armor, as a heavy branch of the battlefield used to crush the enemy, the heavy cavalry of the Falcon Empire follows the configuration of the Ruierdian heavy cavalry, with fifty people as a team, two hundred people as a squadron, the imperial heavy cavalry because it is a money-burning thing, so it is only equipped at the corps level, and the establishment is not much, there are four squadrons in the imperial central army, a thousand heavy cavalry, and there are also four squadrons in the imperial guards, all of which are now here, behind the imperial heavy cavalry, more than a dozen infantry clusters that are advancing forward The battle flag is rolling like a cloud, like a black tide in the glittering morning light that is spreading across the plain ahead.
The fat man was wearing a black demon king armor and riding on a war horse, his black hair stood on end in the wind, his eyes were retracted from the group of troops that were slowly moving forward, his face was a little unhappy, and he turned to the governor of the southwest region behind him, Salon, who was excited, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that the retreat order has been sent?" It's only thirty miles, even if it retreats overnight, even if there are not so many carriages, you should see the shadow at this time when you walk on two legs, why haven't you seen anyone yet. Immediately send scouts to contact, tens of thousands of troops are so slow to delay, really think that the imperial military law is just a piece of waste paper!"
Sallon looked miserable, no one in the imperial military circles knew how stubborn Bonnie's temper was, coupled with the ** relationship between His Majesty and him, even the Imperial Military Affairs Department turned a blind eye, and it was reasonable to do such an abnormal thing.
Salonn looked at the fat man's dark face, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the order was definitely sent, as for why the Gangfei Northern Legion didn't withdraw." I immediately sent someone to contact, the most likely, last night in the heavy snow, lost in the wind and snow. The Gangfei Northern Legion may still be hovering on the front line of the Edgar Fortress, ready to wait until His Majesty's main force is together, and then take the fortress as the front of the army!"
"Yes. It's really possible for you to say that!" The fat man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his face looked unnatural, and he smiled bitterly, "Gangfei is too barren in the north, and the direction of Edgar is even more lonely, there are dense forests in front and back, and the army retreats in the snowy night, if there is no person who is familiar with the direction to guide the way, it is too difficult not to get lost, you immediately send someone to find the Gangfei Northern Army, before the main force arrives, they are absolutely not allowed to launch a counterattack on the fortress" The fat man's voice paused, and he said in an accented tone" Sue sรน Gang Fei Northern Legion, this is a military order, no matter who disobeys, the main force will be beheaded on the spot when it arrives!"
"Yes!" Salon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he lost the battle in eastern Gaul and almost lost the good situation in Gaul, but as a heavy general of the empire and a henchman of the fat man, this time he took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to win the moon near the water, and once again led the newly formed Southwest Army to participate in the battle of Gangfei in the north.
Three days ago, the Imperial Guard and the large army of the Southwest Army had been pressed on the Anduag line thirty miles behind Edgar, only the Gangfei Northern Legion that was still in front of Ed did not know, everyone could see that His Majesty Falcon had gathered the largest Imperial Field Cavalry main force except for the steppe cavalry cluster and was ready to attack on this line, and the target was naturally the main force of the coalition army in the direction of Edgar, although the Imperial Army was known to be indestructible, but it really started as a field front, and the Gangfei Northern Army used the Edgar defense line to drag the main force of the coalition army, and when the other party was exhausted, the main cavalry of the empire was carrying out a cluster raid like a thunderboltThis is Salon's original idea, and the key to this battle is whether the Gangfei Northern Legion, which is only a second-rate legion, can withstand the onslaught of the main force of the coalition army that is three times that of itself.
This is a bloody battle, even if it can withstand it in the end, it is estimated that the Gangfei Northern Legion is about the same, for this, Salonn doesn't feel anything, the main army of the empire is not filled in by the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, there are not a few soldiers who have changed most of them, and there are not a few who can survive, if you want to become the main force of the empire, you can, first fight a few hard-fought battles that everyone recognizes,
The Imperial Iron Army can only be forged in a pool of steel and blood, so whether it is Hukochili, who came with the Guards this time, or Salon, who led the new formation of the Southwest Legion, they are all waiting to see the appearance of the Gangfei Northern Legion, wanting to see the quality of this newly established Imperial Legion, whether it is the Imperial Iron Army or tofu scum, fight first and then talk about it! Anyone who can carry out a surprise attack, and it is a hero who can bear it! Otherwise, it is just by virtue of nepotism. I just want to easily climb to the position of the main force of the front line of the empire that started with the war (the fat man said that he was very innocent, and he was pulled by a woman to his nepotism), even if everyone won't say anything on the surface, but in their hearts they will only treat it as a second-rate army,
The battle on the first day was tragic, I heard that the corpses under the entire section of the city were piled up more than one meter high, and the coalition forces attacked the city wall several times and were pushed down, and the two armies were tug-of-war, and the flesh and blood were on the wall, but no one expected that the battle was less than a day, and His Majesty immediately issued an order directly asking the northern legion of Gangfei to withdraw from the Edgar line,
If the Gangfei Northern Legion really dares to do this, this is really a bit of the stubbornness of the steppe wolf, but only in terms of the current table, the combat ability of the first-line legion of the empire is still slightly insufficient, but the 180,000 allied troops will be defeated? I think that I was leading a lone army and withstood the main force of the 200,000 main force of the Rui Erdian army...... Sallon's eyes flickered. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, looking at the falcon majesty roaring forward from the imperial guards, he waved his hand to a general behind him with a calm expression
"Aiku. The herald ordered the scouts in front to immediately search for the whereabouts of the Gangfei Northern Legion! After finding them, they moved closer to the main force of the army, and His Majesty ordered that the fortress should not be moved until the army arrived......!
The temporary camp of the Gangfei Northern Legion was above a slope near the river, and the Gangfei Northern Legion that had withdrawn from the fortress was encamped on the spot, defended in a ring with hundreds of wagons full of supplies, and the heavy crossbows and bows were placed behind the chariot walls, just like the steppe tribes were fighting, and the horse teams carrying large quantities of supplies were gathered in the middle. On the periphery were patrol rangers, and there was a makeshift sentry on the slope, and the imperial crossbowmen on it looked sternly at every black spot that appeared in the distance, and the wounded soldiers were placed on the inside of the camp, and after a day of fierce fighting, they were evacuated overnight, carrying baggage, transporting wounded soldiers, and the army was exhausted.
Berlante Bonnie pressed the hilt of the Imperial War Knife and personally led a dozen female knights to patrol the camp, stepping on the broken ice in the ground, and her bloodshot eyes swept over the soldiers resting beside the carriage. His face couldn't help but show a trace of frustration, how could he be like this!
She was the last to evacuate the fortress last night, and the northern part of Gangfei was too deserted. However, there are mostly large dense forests behind Edgar's first line, and people may not be able to turn out even during the day, plus they are encountering the maximum wind and snow at night. The road ahead was filled with wind and snow, and the army marched through the snowy woodland, without light or shadow, and only after fifty meters could not see the direction clearly.
Even if the leader in front is a veteran scout from the Central Army, he can only rely on his intuition to move forward against the wind and snow, and finally deviate from the direction when he marches eight miles, once he deviates, it is like a fork in the road and goes farther and farther, the army actually wandered on the east side of Edgar for half a night, and waited until the sky was bright, and the scout who led the way found that the direction was wrong, the sun that should have been in front of him, but it became the right, and it was impossible to know how much he deviated, and he wanted to turn back again, the army was already weak, and many soldiers were so fully clothed in armor, holding weapons and resting next to the carriage, and the ice cubes were hung on their eyebrows, and they didn't know if they were tired of kicking and kicking,
"Can you know where we are?" said Berlante Bonnie as she stepped into a tent and handed her cloak to the female knight behind her, looking at Reposti and several generals who were studying the map.
"Judging from the terrain, our army seems to have crossed the Yala Forest, and the current position should be near Fengta Mountain! It is thirty-five miles away from the direction of the retreat" Reposti raised his head and said apologetically, "According to the current state of our army, if we set off after resting, it will take at least tomorrow to arrive, and I am afraid that I will only be ...... at that time." Reposti's face darkened, and the other generals were silent, the crime of delaying the order can be big or small, if it is a few hours, it is good to say, there is Berrant Bonnie on the top, it is estimated that the falcon is to blame a few words, but thirty miles away, it is delayed by one day, it is a proper capital crime, Berrant Bonnie may not die, other generals are difficult to say, as the deputy commander of the regiment Reposti is also guilty
"My lord, why don't we go back to the fortress!" said a general with a solemn face
"Kill back to the fortress?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, you are crazy, the fortress has more than 100,000 troops of the coalition army, isn't it looking for death to kill back?"
"Killing back doesn't have to be to send you to death!"
This general was none other than Di Muya, the commander of the cavalry banner from the northwest region, and he said loudly: "Although our army deviates from the direction of retreat, it is not very far from the fortress, at most it is a dozen miles away, although our army is tired, but it has enough horses, the army rests until the afternoon, and the elite is dispatched to kill directly back to the fortress, and at most it can be reached at night!" Moreover, the main force of the coalition army will inevitably evacuate after occupying the fortress, and there will not be many troops left, and the other party will not think that our army will dare to kill back at night, our army is very familiar with the various arrangements in the fortress, I know that a secret door of the fortress can be entered from the outside, and it will not be discovered, as long as the fortress is recaptured, it can also be explained to His Majesty!" "Is the secret door? Or is it really feasible!" There was a sudden silence in the military tent, and the eyes of Reposti and the generals all looked at Berrant Bonnie, waiting for Berrant Bonnie's decision, this is death and survival!
A chill flashed in Bonnie's phoenix eyes, the northern legion of Gangfei has fallen into the current situation, as the commander of the legion, she bears a lot of responsibility, originally thought that she could overwhelm the steppe people in the northern grassland, and she was already an imperial general, who knew that it was really on the tragic battlefield. Every moment, there is a sense of loss of control that the situation cannot be grasped, I really don't know how the dead fat man fought all the way,
The dead fat man once joked to himself in private that he was born a strategic waste, and at that time he was still scoffing at it, and the fat man just smiled and raised his fingers, look, the army fights, and tens of thousands of people spread out to fight and fight that is a tactic. Hundreds of thousands of armies are arranging sumo wrestling with each other, that is the strategy, according to your command ability, you can kill even 10,000 generals, and it is okay to command an army to fight, but if you want to control the overall situation, it will be a disaster! Because your character is destined to be too focused on the present! So much so that you can't see the whole situation clearly! Playing conspiracy or something, but you are talented!
Is this really all I can do? Berant Bonnie's unwilling fingers clenched together, and she said in a cold voice, "How many soldiers can our army be able to fight now?" There are about fifteen thousand people!But there are only about seven thousand people who can ride horses!" Reposti estimated in his heart, frowned slightly, and said, "Seven thousand people want to take back the fortress, but I'm afraid that some of them will not be enough." But as the main force of the Majesty, it is enough, but now I don't know how to contact the Majesty, if there is a main force to press the formation. Our army will win!" "Prepare with both hands!" "Berrant Bonnie seemed to have made up her mind, and said, "While sending light cavalry to contact the main force of the Empire, while reorganizing the soldiers, we will set off tonight" "That's all." I hope that the main force can catch up, otherwise our army will only fight to the death!" The other generals nodded solemnly, the battle situation in the northern part of the empire has been fought so far, and there has been a bit of chaos in the battle, because of the barren terrain in the north of Gangfei, coupled with the early deception conspiracy to conceal the tactics, even the northern army of Gangfei does not know the various arrangements of the imperial army, let alone know, their decision has disrupted the military arrangement of the fat man several times, seven thousand elites were immediately selected, the horses are sufficient, and they have to enter the fortress to fight to the death layer by layer, the seven thousand imperial armor soldiers are all wearing double chain mail, and the lack of armor is replenished from the soldiers who did not go, and the weapons are also selected melee heavy weapons, heavy shields, and cracked armor groove cavalry guns, a whole squadron of nearly 1,500 heavy flail infantry as the vanguard, as long as the front smashed a hole, the people behind will swarm up, tear a wall section first
By the time the preparations were sufficient, it was already afternoon, and seven thousand soldiers from the north of Gangfei climbed onto their horses with the heart of death, and Berlante Bonnie took the knight's helmet from the female knight behind her, and her eyes were like a sharp sword, "Lord Bonnie, please command this battle, and please stay behind the town guard to agree." If something goes wrong, your majesty will ...... there" Reposti turned over on his horse in heavy armor and whispered to Bonnie next to him with a hesitant face, and the faces of the other generals were the same,
Everyone can be injured, or die in battle, everyone is trying to survive in the death, and it is understandable to die in battle, but Berlante Bonnie has a special identity, and there is no need to follow his own group of people to risk death, but with such a commander, the generals feel that they can't let go, in any case, Berlante Bonnie is a woman after all, and when the whole army fights to the death and steps on the blood and flesh and mud forward, no one has much energy to take care of Berlant Bonnie, war, after all, is a man's business, as for the outliers like the eldest princess of Dongting Rui Tang Tingna, there are still very few, "This battle can be handed over to you to command, but as the commander of the Gangfei Northern Legion, there is no distinction between men and women here, only soldiers!" A cold light appeared in Berrant Bonnie's eyes, and her gaze swept over the generals under her command, refusing the request to stay behind, "So...... Alright!" Reposti took a deep breath and looked at the other generals, the meaning could not be clearer, there was no way, since Lord Bonnie must go, then only arrange for the most elite soldiers to protect him, everyone is a man, and it is always necessary for the man to die before going to the woman's "Go!" Reposti raised his hand, thousands of soldiers held their breath in unison, as a famous general of the empire who had participated in many bloody battles, his status was fought with a knife and a shot, in the eyes of the soldiers below, Captain Berrant Bonnie was a goddess on top, but the momentum of this deputy commander of Reposti was more convincing,
The horse team drove out of the camp one by one, no one made a sound, the weapons in their hands, the front of the war horses covered their mouths with their pockets, and the salsa of thousands of people only had the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow last night, and there was a faint feeling of steel,
In the direction of the main force of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Scout Secret Sentinel Queue swept the road ten miles in front of the large army, and after receiving an order from the rear, the Scout Cavalry began to accelerate forward beyond the team.
The distance between Anduag, where the main force of the main army departed, and the Edgar line was about thirty miles, and the army had already marched ten miles, and the scouts were also placed five miles in front of the fortress, and the huge outline of the fortress was faintly visible, but there was not the slightest trace of the northern legion.
The captain of the scouts decisively concluded that the Gangfei Northern Legion should have deviated from its original direction in the wind and snow, and soon, a group of scouts found a large number of traces of car withdrawal (to be continued......
