1704 Battle of Putao (10)

At five o'clock in the morning, the winter twilight was heavy

A group of hurried Gangfei light cavalry arrived at Anse Canyon on the outskirts of Nineda, and the young officer who led the team showed the guard at the outpost at the mouth of the canyon and showed the token of the Gangfei Military Affairs Department: "I am a herald from Dijing, and I have come to Anse Canyon on important business. Request an immediate audience with Captain Yvette. ”

"Imperial War Department!What's going on, hasn't it only been a month?" said Yvette, who had been woken up in a sweet morning dream. Hurriedly put on the official captain-level uniform, sleepy-eyed in the outpost meeting room to meet the envoy who made him very unhappy, it is not the first time that such a situation is similar, although it is a house arrest policy adopted for the Burrows family, but the Imperial Military Department will come to inspect every three months, which makes Yvette feel very unhappy, these old men who will only stay in Kyoto to enjoy the happiness, when will they be transferred back to Kyoto, and this time, the envoy who came, made this beautiful captain with special hobbies unexpectedly stunned

"Brother, how could it be you!"

Yvette, who had long hair and a shawl, looked at the handsome and tall young officer walking back and forth in the meeting room with a somewhat dull gaze, as the elder brother of the heir of the family and one of the close attendants of the Emperor's Majesty, shouldn't he follow the Emperor's side at this moment?

"If it's not me, who else can it be!Is there a place to hide? I'm also an envoy of the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs!" The young officer glanced at his sister, and glanced disapprovingly at the two female knights behind Yvette, and the young officer knew very well about his sister's unique hobby!

"Alright, got it, Envoy!" Yvette pursed her lips unhappily, turned her head to the two female knights behind her, and said, "Nyarori, you two go down first! There is no order not to let anyone else come for the time being" When the two female knights left, the young officer took out a large brown paper envelope from his pocket with a look of concentration, and showed the letter to Yvette "A bad news." The order of the Ministry of Military Affairs that all troops in the territory of Putao should immediately withdraw to the country" "Withdraw to the country......?

Yvette looked stunned, her fingers couldn't believe it, she unfolded the envelope in her hand, swept it with her pretty eyes, and said excitedly, "Really, I really want to go back to China this time, I'll just say, I heard the Angelo on the branches in the morning, and it seems that I don't have to waste boring time in this small place where birds don't!"

The young officer raised his hand with a pale face, looking at his sister, who was as cheerful as a bird. I couldn't laugh or cry on my face, or now the entire Putao area, except for the Anse Canyon outpost where my sister is located, the troops who received the order in other areas would not have such happy expressions, because the land of Putao has changed hands, and cheering is the prerogative of the victor! Just two days ago, the shape of the Putao battlefield changed drastically, and the Falcon army divided their ways. Approaching the heart of the empire by land, the Eighth Legion of the Empire and the 11th Legion of the Crusade on the battlefield of Putao fought fiercely with the Falcon Empire army in the Toronto River on the way to the rescue, and all the troops were wiped out.

The Putao battlefield, which was the focus of this war, has completely lost the control of the Gangnon-gang army, abandoned the Putao, and withdrew all personnel to the country. It is a last resort for the Ministry of Military Affairs,

The Falcon Army, which won the Battle of the Toronto River, is marching into the northern part of Putau like a mercury drain. The Gangfei garrison along the way was a complete rout-of-the-road retreat, the chaotic queue was like a refugee, and there were even a large number of convoys dragging their families and mouths.

Not only on the part of the army, but also on the part of the Gangfei nobles in Putao, who demanded a retreat, posted a notice in the central square of the city, where they had lived for several years, and who had been subjected to various privileges, and who regarded themselves as occupiers and masters, who demanded in a short day to give up their existing qiē, and in fact could not keep it

The defeat of the war brought about the disappearance of the privileges of the entire Gangfei Empire in the Putao occupation area, because they were busy with the panicked retreat of the relevant personnel of their respective families, so that the head of the garrison in charge of the Nasda area hastily forgot the five hundred imperial female knights who were still in the Anse Canyon, and it was Icatur who had just been promoted to the staff officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs who was responsible for the reorganization of these routs on the borderIn order to investigate the so-called spies, all of them were questioned at intervals.

Icatur's fast horse galloped all night in a row, and finally arrived at the Anse Canyon outpost where the Burrows family was imprisoned at dawn, fortunately, Yiqiē was calm as usual, his stupid sister really didn't know anything, and the Falcon army heading north should not have noticed here,

After all, this is not an urban area that needs to be controlled, and it is far away from the main road of the transportation line, even ordinary patrol troops will not find this remote canyon in a short time. Yvette rolled up the order book, put it in her wide robe, raised her face and asked curiously, although she has been looking forward to it, but she still has the consciousness of being a soldier, and Yvette also doubts that this retreat order is not her brother, used to fool her own fake, this kind of thing is very common between brothers and sisters similar to "brothers", Yvette grew up as a boy since she was a child, beautiful appearance, big grinning character, has always been the target of her brother's pranks!" "As for the Burrows family, don't care! Ikeur nodded anxiously, there was no hint of teasing on his face, in fact, his heart was now like tormenting on fire, "Don't delay! Immediately call everyone to evacuate, we are in a hurry!" "You mean, the war is over?" Yvette looked at her brother in confusion, and a chill was on her face that was still excited just now

"No, it's to give up, the empire has lost the control of the Putao, and we are defeated!"

Icatur's face was heavy and he wanted to drip water, took a deep breath, and briefly told his sister about the defeat of the empire in the Putao region, when he mentioned that it was the Falcon Empire that won the victory, he didn't notice a trace of imperceptible horror flashing on his sister's beautiful face, more than half a month ago, the fat man named Falcon. I once made such an embarrassing prediction "a month, or faster!" At the time, I just thought it was a joke, I don't know why, Yvette's subconscious feeling that the defeat of the empire had some kind of connection with this powerful man like the god of war, "Yvette, what's wrong with you?"

Icatur looked at his sister with blazing eyes, and the quiet and peaceful air outside made him feel a hint of a bad premonition, "No, it's nothing!"

Yvette came out of a trance, and lowered her head with a rare reddish face. She thought it was incredible, how could she think like this, how could that man possibly affect this war that had defeated the Empire! What a joke, she ran to the door and said to the two female knights standing guard outside, "Come on, gather everyone in ten minutes! We are about to return home!"

"Assemble! We're going home"

When the news was delivered, the whole camp immediately boiled over, everyone went into action, and the women cleaned up their belongings like crazy. Looking at the mess in the direction of the camp, and the women dragging a large number of luggage, Icatur suddenly felt his head bulge,

He saw that his silly sister was also dragging a package larger than a normal person. Loading the only flatbed carriage in the outpost with difficulty! What the hell, do these women think they are going home for a vacation? Now they are fleeing for their lives! Icatur was so angry that she almost lost all her aristocratic demeanor and scolded.

"Yvette, it's the time of the war. Got it!" Icatur almost ran away, grabbing her sister's hand, which was still trying to plug the package,

"That's all I've accumulated over the years!" said Yvette, her eyes teary. Unyielding, he said, "Nonsense!" Icatur glared at his sister viciously, and said sharply, "This carriage is to be used to carry the food and water that is most useful to us, and we need to keep our bodies in place for marching and fighting, and we will not stop until we reach the border, and everyone must be thrown away except for the equipment that can fight!

"Except for the equipment for the battle, all the equipment is lost?"

The female knights suddenly stayed there one by one, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the captain Yvette next to the young officer

"Yes, that's right, it's a battle, if you don't pay attention to it, someone will die, and we're in the enemy war area now!" Yvette swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and nodded with a difficult face, how to say it! We are now in the enemy-occupied area, and it will take a long day to return to China from here, and the rumored cavalry troops of the Falcon Empire may be encountered at any time along the way...... Before she finished her words, the package in her hand fell to the ground from between her dull fingers, revealing all kinds of gorgeous clothes, souvenirs, and snacks inside...... These delicate beauties just received the order and thought they were going back to China, but it doesn't sound like that at all.

"What, oh my God! we're in the enemy war zone" The female knights' faces turned pale and were already in a mess,

Yvette looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do with the chaos

"Enough, you are soldiers!" When the situation was chaotic, a cold and delicate stern voice made the chaotic situation unexpectedly stop

"As a soldier, it is natural that such a situation may be encountered, and as long as you act quickly, no one will necessarily die!, this lord, I don't know if what I said is right!" It was the vice-captain Liya, the most beautiful woman in the entire knight squadron, riding on a black and shiny war horse, this is the wild horse king who let the fat man tame, with beautiful white and gold hair on his shoulders, carrying a ruby cross sword inlaid in the middle of the hilt at his waist, and a silver knight's spear lying horizontally on the weapon hook of the war horse,

Liya casually threw her duffel bag on the ground with a clatter, and said coldly, "As long as we act quickly, we can return to China safely!"

Ikert's weak gaze did not dare to look at Riya, but swept over the beautiful faces of these female knights, and felt more and more troubled, his own guard was only nineteen people, although they were all powerful imperial attendants, but to take five hundred messy women, through the area that might be cut off by the enemy, no matter how you look at it, it is a very dangerous move,

And these women are still good-looking, for the brutal Falcon barbarian army, these beautiful women are simply beautiful prey that will not let go of the temptation to bite, as long as they are exposed, they will pounce on them like wolves that smell blood. There was no other choice but to die in battle, or the head of the local garrison thought the same, so he deliberately forgot about it!But that fat pig actually forgot my precious sister here, and should be locked up in the interrogation room until she died!

"So what are you waiting for!

Hearing the young officer's assurance, the chaotic female knights threw away their packages one after another, hurriedly turned over their horses, and threw away all their belongings except weapons and battle preparations, and after an hour, they were ready. The female knights were all fully armoured, their weapons were fully equipped, and they looked like they were all in good shape, and the only carriage was filled with food and water necessary for the march, and as soon as they got back on track, the commotion in the military camp also attracted the attention of the inside of the canyon, but no one knew what was going on. Some Burrows servants stood far away and looked this way

"Let's go!" Iakurt raised her hand and secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead on her horse, finally over, facing five hundred women in a mess. It's more tiring than fighting a war, ten minutes is just a verbal order, and it's good to be able to do it in an hour, in fact, he himself knows that the road ahead is unknown. It's a complete gamble, but there's no way, these nervous female knights. If you don't put pressure and give hope, you won't have to encounter the enemy's cavalry, and you'll be in chaos internally!

The door of the "Giggle" outpost slowly opened, and the outside world began to unfold before everyone's eyes

"Bell!"

The clock that marked the time suddenly came from the top of the watchtower overhead, and the sound of heavy metal shaking reverberated through the canyon, like a heavy blow in everyone's hearts, and Ikeur's nerves immediately tensed, "What's the matter, didn't you say that everyone is here!" He looked angrily at Yvette next to him, who was just as nervous as him

"It's an accident, it's not our people!" Yvette replied innocently, because it was a formality, the clock on the watchtower was usually the responsibility of the two Burrows family servants in the canyon, I don't think they knew what was going on in the camp below, so they were very conscientious on duty above the watchtower, they just told the time! and only struck once

"Bell, bell, bell!" the rapid bell rang again, as if mocking Yvette's statement that she only struck once, and it became more and more urgent,

"What's that!" shouted in terror from the female knight,

I saw that on the horizon in the distance, a group of chainmail cavalry with curved bows formed an arc, these cavalrymen wore black armor, wore pointed round hats, carried powerful compound bows, and straddled the curved swords like a crescent with a strange feeling.

The earth shook violently, and the black-armored cavalry raised smoke and dust in the sky, as if setting off a storm on the earth, shaking everyone's hearts, and the terrifying pressure brought by the cavalry legion that was rushing wildly, accompanied by the terrible sound of hooves like demons appearing in hell, overwhelmingly riding the black clouds to kill!

"It's the Falcon Empire's steppe cavalry cluster!Quick, everyone retreat, close the gate!" Icatur's face turned completely pale, and he shouted to someone who was stupid with a hurried expression, such a large-scale cavalry cluster is only available in the Falcon Empire in the north of Putao, and judging from the number of visual inspections, the number of the other party's cluster is at least more than 10,000 people, and now he can only pray to the heavens that the other party just passed by inadvertently,

But the rapid sound of the bell overhead made him think of something,

Don't knock it, if you lure the cavalry of the Falcon Empire over, everyone will die! But unfortunately, it backfired, and the rolling of the horse's hooves got closer and closer like a muffled thunder, and even the ground began to tremble, and you could clearly see the small gravel under your feet being shaken and beating,

Icatur's heart was extremely depressed, he could feel everyone's hearts trembling, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of fighting, tens of thousands of brutal enemies, how to fight!"Prepare for battle! Everyone go to the wall of the outpost!Likas, you lead your men to guard the east wall, Alashan, your people are in charge of the west wall!" After a short period of distraction, Iakurt reacted quickly, after all, he was the emperor's attendant who had experienced a tragic war, he immediately ordered his subordinates, and then looked at the other female knights who were frightened one by one, "I know that it is difficult to ask you to fight against tens of thousands of enemies, but you must know that in this battle, you must choose, whether to humiliate to death or fight to the death!"

"Let's fight, let's fight!" The female knights below began to come back to their senses, some of the bold female knights began to run towards the city wall, and the timid ones were responsible for carrying the materials used to defend the wall, and the rumbling of horses' hooves outside the outpost suddenly stopped at this moment

"Beware, the enemy is attacking!" Icatur shouted from the walls of the outpost, looking down at the cavalry clusters below like black clouds overpowering the city, the morning sky was gray, and the gray clouds pressed low and obscured the sun. In front of the neat and solemn military formation, a huge golden falcon flag blew straight in the wind!

"Well, what's going on?" Icatur was a little surprised to see that the huge array of wings discharged by the dense black cavalry suddenly spread out neatly to both sides, and a knight in black armor slowly walked slowly from the middle of the Falcon Empire cavalry queue that seemed to be separated by a black sea,

The iron hooves are sonorous, and the black armor is shining with a dark luster,

"How could it be!, that ...... That's ......"

Icatur looked at the rumored golden falcon flag, a pair of eyes were about to burst out, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time in shock, Icatur, who had served as an attendant to the emperor, was too familiar with this military flag that he had only heard of, but had never really seen,

It was the military flag of the Emperor of the Falcon Empire, and it was this person who slaughtered the 150,000 northern border guards of Gangfei in one fell swoop!

"Brother, who is that?"

Next to him, Captain Yvette and Vice-Captain Ria were also looking curiously at the black knight below, with a black eagle wing helmet, a beautiful armor breastplate as black as night, a white thorn flower on the chest, and the shoulders of the armor were covered with sharp edges and corners.

I couldn't see the face clearly, but the whole person stood there, and there was a strong murderous aura all over the body.

For everyone, that feeling is like a demon god, overlooking the vast number of beings below, and the faint coercion is enough to make anyone feel a trace of impulse to worship from their hearts.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the Emperor of the Falcon Empire, a man who calls himself Vekia Falcon!"

Icatur gritted her teeth, staring at the black knight who seemed to have the power to make everyone worship, and said slowly in a solemn tone (to be continued......
