Chapter 1394: A Calm Night
Pad is one of the major cities in the western part of the Kingdom of Kiel, located in a fertile river valley plain, and although the local industry has always been dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, it can be regarded as wealthy.
But the war destroyed this qiΔ.
At the beginning, the old peace troops of the United Nations passed through here in order to conquer the traitor De Rossi.
As the saying goes, a thief is like a comb, and a soldier is like a grate.
Although the old army is waving the banner of 'defending the world', and all kinds of slogans are loud. But in fact, everyone is under the idea of 'grabbing money, grabbing things, and grabbing women' - if it weren't for these things, everyone's brains would have twitched, and they would have run here to play with their lives?
Although the Kingdom of Kiel is also one of the members of the Lao He Army, and the officers of the Lao He Army are also trying their best to restrain them, those soldiers and ruffians disturb the place whenever they go, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, molest women, and steal chickens and dogs...... And so on and so forth, cultural and sports activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health and enhance emotional exchanges between localities and military units are indispensable.
In this case, the entire kingdom of Kiel was tossed with a miasma. Including the king, the officials up and down closed the door, and there was no shortage of scolding.
However, if you tighten your belt, you can still get by.
Later, the demons suddenly landed and annihilated the old and troops in one fell swoop. Then take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the troops divided into two routes, pointing directly to the center of the continent.
The Kingdom of Kiel was immediately frightened.
Their main business is to grow potatoes and raise sheep. Where have you ever seen such a murderous formation?
That's the demon race, according to legend, eating raw meat, drinking blood, slaughtering babies, women and children, and looking like a terrible creature like a devil.
The big guy suddenly found that it turned out that the rì who was ruined by the old and the army was actually a good time. Then in the next second, all the families ran away.
At the same time, there were many bold dogs who thought that a good time had come, and then shouted 'The king is a general, rather than a kind of thing', and then they pulled up the pole, found a random hill or something, and fell into the grass.
If there are more than a dozen or seven or eight guns, they dare to be called commanders.
If there are twenty or thirty enters, you dare to say that you are a star on the earth, and then according to the stars on the sun, each row of seats, what shè hand star, twin stars, young stars, young horses and meteors, play a lot of fun.
For a time, the originally peaceful and peaceful Kingdom of Kiel was also full of thieves and bandits.
Later, the Semitic invaded, and although some of the bandits surrendered, more of them caused trouble for the Semit.
Later, the Feng army pressed the border, and the battlefield was immediately reversed, and under the attack of Rumandi** and the Feng army, the Semitic retreated step by step.
Now the entire Kingdom of Kiel has been liberated by the Maple Army.
Only the western town of Pad and the nearby areas are still in the hands of the Semites, and due to its important location, it is now the center of the Semitic army.
Abegren's headquarters and the main Semitic force were located here, and hundreds of thousands of Semitic troops surrounded the city of Pad, repairing fortifications and building barricade bunkers in preparation for a protracted battle with the army of the Ruman Empire.
Although the Semitic race has now shifted from strategic offense to strategic defense, the morale of the Semitic people is still high: if the Semitic clan can defend against our white spoon attack, we can naturally defend against the offense of the Semitic race.
Although there are some setbacks and difficulties now, they are only temporary.
Do you think I'm going to sue you that this is actually a big bowl of fried noodles by the great high priest Divine Throne?
Although I don't know how he blew up when he entered the family to study the competition, but then again, like the great entry that can only be encountered once in 500,000 years, how can his mind be guessed by his own soldiers?
Future victories must belong to the powerful Semitic clan~!
ΓΓΓΓΓ nightfall, the lights on Pader's castle were bright, and in the dim light, the faint figures of the soldiers could be faintly seen.
Semitic soldiers patrolled the city with weapons in hand, carefully searching the fields outside the city in the darkness, listening carefully for any unusual noise.
As soon as there is a stir, immediately greet with a bow and crossbow.
With the two sides getting too close, the front became very chaotic.
From time to time, a small group of Rumanjin infiltrated in, grabbed a few tongues, scouted, or created some sΔo chaos, and of course, Semitic Ruman's territory also went to Ruman's territory to cause trouble.
For these soldiers, if they are not careful, they can lose their lives.
There were even soldiers on the head of the city, jΔ«ng Ming, who dressed Kuzomi in military uniforms and placed them under the lights to attract firepower. When the other party released a cold arrow to sneak attack, everyone attacked it in groups, desperately putting a burst of arrows down the city to repel the sneak attacker, and if he was lucky, he could directly kill him.
This cat-and-mouse game is played out every day.
In the middle of the night, the air was getting colder and colder, and most of the soldiers were wrapped in blankets and fell asleep in a drowsy state.
There was silence at the head of the city.
At this time, a group of black shadows slowly climbed the city wall, and the soldiers on duty immediately clenched their weapons and shouted: "Stop, password~!"
"Heavy snowfall. A calm response came from the other side.
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Gannet, come here." β
A few people walked over slowly, and the dim light of the fire illuminated the first one.
He was dressed in a Semitic general's uniform, with a square face, gray hair, and a tightly knit brow, looking preoccupied.
The soldier hurriedly stomped his feet, stood up and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "The general is good~!"
This entry was none other than the Semitic commander Abegren.
"Bastard, be quiet, don't salute. The officer next to him raised his leg and kicked the soldier, and scolded with a straight face: "Do you want to summon the cold arrow that enters the class~!"
The soldier was kicked back a few steps, but rubbed his stomach and did not dare to make a sound.
If there is a soldier lurking in the city, you can know that this is an officer when you see the soldier saluting.
Ever since Maschinot was sniped, everyone knew that Lorraine had a magical magic weapon in his hand that could accurately hit the head two miles away.
Therefore, the Semitic officers, especially the senior officers, were very careful in this regard - no one wanted to be the next unlucky ghost.
Abegren was not on that mind, and he stood on the tower, looking out into the night sky to the east.
Although it was dark and gloomy, Abegren also knew that Rumanjin was there, and that he was being blocked out by several of his large camps at the moment.
Abegren sighed under his breath, and Veraprani's surrender had put himself in a double passivity, both militarily and politically.
As a senior commander, he was deeply worried about the future.
After being withdrawn from the Vatino, with the aftermath of a big victory, he will definitely give priority to attacking them. But his forces are not superior, and they are completely inferior.
And the most terrifying thing is that among them, Lorraine, who is known as the Flying Eagle God of War, leads the Alchemy Army of Magic.
It is said that they were armed with more than 10,000 cannons.
Cannons, he had also seen it when he was fighting with Ruman.
He had also fought all his life, but he had never seen such a powerful alchemy weapon.
The cannon rumbled, the sound shook like thunder, and when the cannon came down, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the range of more than ten meters in a radius of more than ten meters all turned into scorched earth, and none of them survived.
At that time, it was only nearly a hundred, but the boom was enough to make Jin feel shocked.
Tens of thousands of artillery pieces are bombarded together, what kind of situation will it be?
Just thinking about it makes you feel terrifying.
How do you look at this battle, how difficult it is to have a chance of winning~!
But...... But the High Priests and Lichs of Ryder City don't see it that way.
They only saw that there were fifteen full-fledged divisions and more than 300,000 classified vassals under Abegren's command, but they did not know that those classified vassals could not play any role except to add to the chaos.
At the same time, the rear kept organizing new subordinate armies, ready to be sent to him.
In this regard, Abegren was full of prison, and once complained openly to his men: Do I want these to be classified?
Therefore, as soon as he heard that there was a Caribbean Fourth Division in the rear, Abegren immediately asked the high priest to transfer them over to reinforce him.
But the military difficulties were not the most uncomfortable for Abegren.
More pressure on him came from Ryder City.
Veraprani's surrender was shocked.
Ryder City decision-makers are already suspicious of him.
Abegren received several secret letters from Ryder, threatening to censor him before the High Priest.
The reasons why he has not been touched so far are that there is nothing suspicious about Abegren's behavior, and his relationship with Veraprani is not very close.
Second, he is also clever, as soon as he received the news, realized that the situation was not good, and sent him to Ryder City with a lot of money to carry out crisis public relations, he was very up and down, which finally temporarily calmed his suspicions.
However, Abegren knew that if he lost the battle, the doubts about him would return in a more violent way.
But the war is developing in the direction he least wants to see.
Abegren raised his hand and patted the cold city wall, and suddenly asked, "Where is the enemy's invading Maple Leaf Danlin coalition army?"
"The latest report is eighty miles away. β
Abegren muttered to himself, "Eighty miles...... It's close, who's blocking them head-on?"
"It was the 5th and 6th Janissary Divisions, as well as the 2nd, 4th and 11th Divisions of Antville. β
Abegren nodded, not feeling inappropriate about this arrangement, and then asked, "Where is the 4th Caribbean Division?
The officer shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." β
"What, I don't know?" Abegren turned to glare at his men disapprovingly.
The officer hastened to explain: "We received a report that they had come from the south, but since then there has been no information about them, and we do not know where they are now." β
Abegren angrily slammed the city wall hard, and said, "These merchants and small citizens are just unreliable. β
The officers behind him nodded in unison, Caribbean is good at doing business, not only calculating, but also often shoddy.
Therefore, their reputation is not good in the Semitic race, and it is basically equivalent to a synonym.
One of the officers scratched his head and hesitated, "I also heard a bad rumor. β
Abegren frowned and asked, "What rumors?"
The officer spread his hands and said, "The soldiers below said that they don't want the Caribbean Fourth Division to come, because they are broom stars."
"What do you mean?"
"They are an ominous force.
At the beginning, he took the navy's warship to reinforce the Vatino, but the navy was completely wiped out.
They reinforced De Rossi, who was almost completely wiped out by the Holy See Army.
They were later sent to reinforce the Veraprani invasion, and the result was ......"
When he said this, his voice lowered, and he did not speak again. But everyone understands what he did not say: as a result Veraprani was forced to surrender.
"The soldiers said that the 4th Caribbean Division was a disaster, and whoever they reinforced would be unlucky. The officer muttered.
Abegren snorted and said, "Nonsense, send a message to the rear, and let them help find the Caribbean Division." β
"Yes~!"
Abegren smiled bitterly and shook his head, after several successive fiascos, although the officers were desperately cheering up, in fact, the morale of the Semitic army had fallen to a worrying level, and now even such rumors came out, but it was no wonder that the soldiers were like this. Even he himself is not optimistic about the next battle situation.
Just as he was pondering, an officer next to him suddenly sighed: "Tonight is exceptionally quiet~!"
"It's O," said Youri, "so far I have not received any reports of battle. Maybe I'll be able to get a good night's sleep. β
Abegren was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, he hadn't heard the sound of battle for a long time.
At this time, there would be a low sound of artillery fire from the east, and he suddenly became vigilant, and secretly said in his heart: There is something abnormal.
Years of war experience tell him that this kind of calm is extremely abnormal~!
Abegren groaned for a moment, and then ordered: "Strengthen your vigilance, contact the departments in front, and ask them if there is anything abnormal." β
At the same time, I secretly said in my heart: Even if I make a fuss, it is better than what really happened~!
After touring the city walls, Abegren and the officers returned to the headquarters in the city, and the soldiers who had gone to liaise with the various departments were quickly dispatched.
Abegren waited patiently for news at headquarters, occasionally glancing up at the map.
For some reason, he always felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen that he hadn't thought of.
This feeling made Abegren's feelings quite impatient.
He couldn't sit down at all, so he could only keep pacing back and forth in the hall of the headquarters to relieve his tension.
After midnight, the liaison soldiers came back one after another to report that the various military camps on the front line were normal, and no abnormal movements were found.
Abegren's heart calmed a little, and he raised his head and asked, "Are all the contacts back?"
A staff officer frowned and said, "There is still one missing, the Sixth Division of the Praetorian Guard, there has been no news, but they are a little far away, and they are probably soon." ββ
"Praetorian Guard's 6th Division......" Abegren turned to look at the map, the Praetorian Guard's 6th Division was defending a mountain point to the south, and most importantly, guarding a stone bridge over the river below the mountain, some distance from Pader City.
Abegren stared at the map and thought for a few minutes, then said decisively: "Send a regiment of cavalry, and then bring a division into the class, to take a look at the sixth division of the Praetorian Guard." β
The officer hesitated, then said, "But it's night." β
Abegren roared angrily and shouted, "Send me in immediately~!"
"Yes~!" the officer jumped up and hurried out.
Half an hour later, the Semitic cavalry of 1,000 and the vassals of 5,000 or 6,000 were hurriedly transferred out, and then drove out of the south gate and walked into the night.
Originally, it wouldn't have taken so long, but the assembly of the vassal army in the class has been dragging on, especially the general who has been in the class, who has poured several bottles of wine, and can't get up at all.
Later, the Semitic cavalry colonel got impatient and rushed directly into it, and woke up the general with a bucket of cold water.
The team marched south in the dark, but the speed of the vassal legions was too slow, and the soldiers kept complaining, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, and sometimes staggering.
The general who entered the class also sneezed and said that he had a cold.
Enraged, the Semitic cavalry colonel threw off the ranks and headed south.
An hour later, the Semitic cavalry colonel, who was trotting along the avenue, suddenly ran into a large group of cavalry from the opposite side, and the same group of hundreds of cavalry ran towards him from the darkness.
It seemed that the liaison had been sent in, and the colonel reined in his horse, and then cried out, "Hey, how is the situation? β
The cavalry on the opposite side seemed to pause, did not speak, but only glanced at each other, and then galloped again, and approached the colonel and his team as fast as they could.
The colonel frowned unhappily, and scolded in his heart: Such a drag, it's the grandsons of the Praetorian Guards again~!
Then he cried out, "Which part of you did not come back from the front?"
But the other side still responded with silence. The only difference was that the rumbling of horses' hooves became more and more rapid.
The cavalry on the opposite side is accelerating~!
The colonel felt that something was wrong, and the other party clearly saw him, but he kept silent.
Seeing that the other party would not slow down and was about to rush into his team, the colonel shouted: "I am Colonel Miller, I order you to stop, stop~!"
At the same time, one drew his weapon and went straight ahead.
Behind him, the Semitic cavalry suddenly moved. The cavalrymen hurriedly dodged to avoid being bumped into by the opposing horses.
Amid the roar of horses' hooves, the cavalry on the opposite side almost came to the front.
In the hazy night, Colonel Miller was stunned for a moment, and he saw a military uniform completely different from that of the Semitic people. And the knight on the opposite side raised his saber high.
That posture is the most typical way to slash and slash into the army~!
Colonel Miller was stunned for a second, then suddenly came to his senses and shouted in a terrible voice: "Enemy attack, prepare for battle......"
Before he could finish speaking, several crossbow arrows flew from the darkness, one ready for Colonel Miller's chest.
Colonel Miller couldn't help but snort, and then he was hit by the powerful arrow and flew backwards.
He fell to the ground, watching countless horses' hooves slump past him, and before he lost consciousness, Colonel Miller wondered in his mind: how did the enemy penetrate the defensive line?
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, the cavalry led by him roared angrily: "Kill, kill the demon cub~!"
"Kill~!" the cavalry behind him let out a shout, brandishing sabers and spears and charging towards the Semitic cavalry that had stopped in place.
At this moment, the Semitic Clan was still in the panic of being suddenly attacked, and they didn't expect that the Alien would suddenly appear in the rear of their defensive line, and many of them didn't even have time to draw their weapons.
The cavalry rushed directly into their White Spoon ranks, and the sharp edges of the sabers flashed in the dark night, and the Semitic cavalry fell to the ground screaming.
Hearing the shouts and screams, the Semitic cavalry at the back of the team finally came to their senses, pulled out their weapons, spurs stabbed the stomach of our white spoon, shouted and rushed forward, and a fierce battle broke out suddenly.
The sparks of the clashing blades flickered in the night, and the sound of steel clashing, swords slashing bones, screams, and the sound of horses clashing and neighing came together.
A high-pitched shout came from behind the cavalry: "Kill them all, don't let one go~!"
In the dark night, a steady stream of soldiers poured out, outflanking the Semitic cavalry from both sides, and in the dim night, I don't know how many rushed up, giving a feeling that it seemed endless.
"This is the main force of the class~!" The Semitic cavalry team suddenly came to their senses, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat~!"
"Go back and inform the general. β
The Semitic cavalry in the melee struggled to turn their horses' heads, but the cavalry who fought with them was so strong in martial arts that it was difficult for the Semit to get out, and in the end, only a few dozen cavalrymen at the end of the queue rushed out, and the Semitic cavalry who rushed up from both wings had surrounded the remaining Semitic cavalry.
The cavalry that broke out of the siege desperately beat their horses and galloped northward, and the cavalry of the class pursued closely behind, and the swishing sound of the bow and crossbow sounded from their side, and from time to time there were arrows falling from their horses, and they were trampled into flesh by the cavalry behind.
Fleeing for their lives, I don't know how long it took, the Semitic cavalry suddenly saw a large group of infantry on the opposite side.
The horses that had not had time to stop neighed and rushed into the group, not knowing how many infantry had flown away, causing a burst of confusion.
The infantrymen let out panic and screams and ran to the sides.
"What's going on?"
"Who is it?"
"He nΗinΗi hurt me to death. β
"Help, help, who's going to save me~!"
The Semitic cavalry that crashed into the group was immediately overjoyed, this was a vassal army unit left by them, and the number of troops was enough for a division.
The Semitic shouted loudly: "Ruman is here, hurry, defend on the spot~!"
"Who is your general, tell him to prepare for battle~!"
"Go and drag Ru Man in~!"
The pursuers in the back also rushed forward at this time, and the noise here had already attracted their attention.
The cavalry who had entered the class suddenly ran into a group of infantry under the black pressure, and they were all startled, and immediately reined in their horses, hesitating whether to advance or retreat.
"Is the operation exposed?"
Otherwise, how could there be a brigade of Semitic infantry here, it seems that there is no less than one division, if this is the Semitic commander who learned of their white spoon plan and set a trap here, they would be in danger.
After they were alone in the enemy's formation, as long as they were delayed for an hour, the Semitic army would come from all directions and encircle and annihilate them.
The situation in front of us has taken a turn for the worse.
