Chapter 14: Withdrawn!

For several days in a row, the four banners of the Viking side, 360,000 Viking warriors, plus 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry, 10,000 Tatar archers, and 17,000 royal court guards and 5,000 mammoth cavalry, a total of more than 400,000 troops, and nearly 600,000 combined armies of the Ottoman and Byzantine Empires, in the vicinity of Baiyintara in four major battles and nearly 100 small contacts, both sides suffered casualties.

Guarded by elite swordsmen and hoplites, Hopkins in the Chinese tent closed his eyes and recuperated, and for several days, these barbarians really used the harassment tactics of their ancestors, attacking at night! Although the casualties were small, they exhausted the Ottoman army from top to bottom. All of them stared at the dark circles under their eyes. They are all cavalry, very mobile, can fight, can't run, when you chase out, run, the other party runs away, and when you go back, he suddenly rushes out, and runs again after a rain of arrows.

The army sent out should also be very particular, sending less is no different from sending it for nothing, sending too much, and I am afraid of dividing the troops, this group of barbarians will attack the base camp!

The most hateful thing is that these barbarians have played the harassment war to the territory that they have already beaten in the rear, and the supply of their 600,000 troops has been attacked, and the battle line is getting longer and longer!!

Old Marshal Hopkins again doubted that these barbarians didn't need to sleep.

A general on the left side of Hopkins said: "Marshal, these barbarians are not good at attacking fortifications, if our army forms a mixed phalanx of multiple arms and invites them to fight to the death with the hill generation, it will win!" However, only those cavalry riding giant beasts (mammoths) are feared, saying that there are 5,000 mammoth cavalry, but there are 7 soldiers on the back of a mammoth cavalry, and it is obviously 35,000 people!"

The old marshal Hopkins yawned and nodded, Hopkins is nearly 55 years old, and a senior general of his age in the Ottoman Empire, either go home to retire, or the master of high merit was given to die, and those who followed the old emperor to fight the world with him were basically dead.

Although the emperor of the Ottoman Empire is old and his sexual orientation has begun to be abnormal, his brain is indeed abnormally good.

He sent a veteran of Hopkins out of the game, and if nothing else, he had a special skill for him, and even if he couldn't win the battle, the number of troops he lost was often the least, and he was a veteran who was not very capable but acted extremely cautiously.

That's why Hopkins was sent as a marshal.

The eunuch who was sitting next to Hopkins, Yamailu, pinched his orchid finger when he heard this, let out a mocking cold snort from his nostrils, and said in a sharp voice: "You think too simply, if the barbarians really want you to be so stupid, then Your Majesty would have knocked down this mineral-rich wasteland in the early years of the territory!"

The general who mentioned yì was unusually ruddy at this burst of cynicism. His arms trembled, his fists clenched, but he finally sat back in his seat in discouragement, this eunuch army is a man who looks at him unpleasantly, and wants to throw this guy who is not a man or a woman by selling his ass to the barbarians to eat, but he is the forbidden body of His Majesty, and his popularity is quite high. Don't say that you are a marshal, and you don't dare to touch him.

When Amelo saw the other party's appearance, he took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and chuckled, his expression even more proud.

Princess Sophia, who had not spoken, clasped her hands around her shoulders and said coldly: "Now it is obvious that the enemy and the enemy are in a state of stalemate, it is very unfavorable to us, these barbarians can replenish supplies on the spot, we can't, now the rear sends five supplies will be knocked out three times, we can't divide our troops yet, and the domestic army can't be assembled for a while." ”

Hopkins' eyes, either unsettled or closed, were wide open. His action attracted the attention of everyone in the tent, and everyone knew that the old fox had made a decision.

Hopkins quickly picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the black tea from the cup. While rubbing his swollen eyes, he said: "Now the advantages of both the enemy and us are obvious, I have to admit that these barbarians are very strong, and they have their unique tactics, their advantage is that they are all cavalry, mobility and breakthrough are their advantages, and our advantage is that the equipment is better than them, and the multi-arms cooperate in combat, as long as they bite them, they can all be eaten!"

After speaking, he knocked on the table in front of him to signal, and the guard on the side filled his teacup with water and continued: "However, this group of barbarians is not stupid, they won't bite me, and the terrain here is too suitable for cavalry combat!"

Speaking of this, he stood up sharply and his eyes were wide open like they had never been: "So I decided to 、、、"

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The wind is bleak, and the earth is reckless.

A piece of yellow grass fell from the sky and landed on Hannibal's face, Hannibal squinted and shook his head, and the grass continued to float backwards. Hanni tightened his saber tightly, and the cold texture came from his fingertips, making him conscious.

At the end of the wilderness, Hannibal saw a faint black line wriggling.

Is it finally coming? Hannibal felt a faint nervousness in his heart, although he was looking forward to going to the battlefield very much, and even dreamed many times that he was really going to the battlefield, but it was the first time he went to this battlefield where life was like a mustard, Hannibal trembled with nervousness, and finally tightened his belt, and took off the old metal shield on his back and put it on his right forearm.

The sound of weapons unsheathed, wheezing, and metal crashing all over the place, and countless Viking warriors like Hannibal began their final preparations for battle, and the fierce cold wind blew their wild and unruly long hair, forming a tumbling black furious wave.

Just as Hannibal and all the Black Flag Viking warriors were planning to reap the lives of their enemies with their sabers.

A group of about a dozen scouts galloped in front of the 400,000 Viking army, kicking up dust that seemed to be sprinting at a speed that almost killed the horse.

"Big Order! Oh no! The Westerners want to run!"

"Their big camp is empty!"

Da Dan Yu heard this, and his body trembled.

"In which direction?"

"East!"

Da Shan Yu touched his chin: "To the east, that's a hill! The advantage of the cavalry can't be brought into play!"

The prince from the building on the side was anxious: "Father, we must not let these Westerners go back intact, that will be the greatest shame for our Vikings in a hundred years、、、!"

Several banner masters and Wanhu Marquis around him also stepped forward to persuade: "Yes! Da Danyu! Why don't we let the warriors of the scimitar banner rush up first to cover up and kill for a while! Grab a few tongues and ask!"

"Why are you going, if you want to go, it's also my vulture flag! If this spreads, our Vikings will be laughed to death by other barbarians!"

"Let's take this opportunity to let us yak flags wash away the shame!"

Only the Black Flag Banner Master Budugen was silent with a shallow smile. This time, Da Shan Yu summoned the Black Flag, the Scimitar Flag, the Yak Flag, and the Vulture Flag, four flags!

Da Shan Yu waved the dragon bone scepter in his hand forward, frowned and shouted, "Shut the fuck up for me!"

The three banner masters who were still arguing were all frightened by Da Shan Yu's loud shout, flattened their mouths, and slowly lowered their heads. Despise each other.

Da Dan Yu's eyes suddenly opened and said: "The whole army covers the past, no matter what, kill him for a while before they hide in the hills, remember to catch a few tongues!"

After speaking, the dragon bone scepter in his hand waved forward again, and more than 400,000 troops moved forward to cover the past. The Hun cavalry on bantam horses was at the forefront, then the Viking warriors with four banners, then the Tatar archers and the royal court guards of Da Danyu, and finally the 5,000 mammoth cavalry with a huge impact but not moving fast.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The combined Ottoman-Byzantine army withdrew, and they hurried away, their equipment and tents were thrown to the ground, and they were disorganized in the wasteland like psoriasis on the back of a giant sweat, and they left behind 50,000 broken troops.

The black line on the horizon grew thicker and thicker, and it squirmed faster and faster.

In the suffocating wait, the commander of the soldier in charge of the break, a handsome man about 30 years old, felt that time and space had become an eternity at this moment, there was a faint thunder coming from the sky, and the earth under his feet was also trembling gently.

His face changed, the faces of his men changed, they had expected what they were going to face, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

It was a cavalry, a huge cavalry! a cavalry large enough to invade any small country in the west.

It was near, it was finally near, and when the handsome commander saw the fierce banner waving in the wind, his heart, which had become indifferent from the fierce battles, beat a little, because in the flag, he saw a banner embroidered with a "mace" pattern, which represented the Vikings.

......

Da Dan held high the dragon bone scepter that could be used as both orders and weapons in his right hand, and galloped wildly, and more than 400,000 iron horsemen followed him closely behind him, and the huge cavalry array seemed to be from the dark waves of hell, wrapped in the power of trampling a qiΔ“, like the sky falling apart, like the waves crashing on the shore, and swept towards the small multi-infantry mixed into a phalanx in front of him.

The earth beneath their feet receded like a tidal wave, and the whole world trembled and trembled with the roar of thousands of healthy horses striking the earth at the same time!

"Pay!"

Da Danyu roared, and the keel scepter in his hand slashed down, and at the same time, he flicked his horse's head and drove diagonally to the side of the riding formation.

"Pay!"

400,000 barbarians, the barbarians in the other mouths responded violently, the sound was like thunder, millions of iron hooves stirred up the snow in the sky, like a rolling iron stream instantly crossed the big single and continued to sprint forward, the Hun cavalry in the front row pressed down the spears that pointed straight into the void, and 30,000 sharp spears pierced the cold wind, forming a suffocating forest of death.

(ps Hun cavalry, equipment is different from the Vikings, good use of spears and maces!, not swords!)

The last few rows of Viking warriors raised their swords above the top, the cold glow of the sky fading the gloom of the sky.
