1808 Battle of Danny (IX)
The torrential rain swept through the Danny Plateau in an instant like a crazy wild horse in an unstoppable stance.
Large raindrops fell from the sky, like countless white lines that hit the earth with thousands of holes, the power of nature made the small human beings only dodge, the ground turned into mud under the erosion of the rain, the camp of the army quickly settled in the small Kozi City, the ruined Kozi City was half demolished by the Falcon Army in the battle, and part of it was burned by the fire, but it seemed a lot empty, and some of the destroyed houses were demolished, 100,000 Falcon Empire troops raised tents in the open space on both sides of the street, the soldiers were busy carrying supplies in the rain, and the generals received the order of the Falcon Majesty to hold a meeting,
In a small two-story building that was still in good condition, the raindrops hit the window and made a crackling sound, and the fat man looked solemn and asked the adjutant of the meeting to immediately spread out Danny's map in front of all the generals, raised the command whip in his hand and landed on the location of Kozi City on the map, his eyes swept over the generals who were sitting on both sides, and said sharply
"Maybe everyone is a little confused, knowing that the Gauls want to lead us into the Danny Plateau, we still crashed into it, now I will tell you, why do we want to open up Daniel, from the map, the entire Danny Plateau is 210 miles long and 90 miles wide, empty in the middle, narrow on both sides, like a dry waist"
"The Gauls are very right to choose this place as the decisive battle, the plateau of Danny is the commanding height of the whole central Gaul, like a tiger condescending to the whole of central Gaul, if our army ignores its threat, and chooses to continue to advance into the hinterland, the Gallic army gathered in Danny may send troops at any time to cut off our connection with the rear, and even the two provinces obtained after the empire opened up Rusti will fall into the hands of the Gauls from the hands of the Gauls because our army cannot return to help. So if you want to enter central Gaul smoothly, you must annihilate the forces entrenched in Daniel by the Gauls!"
The fat man's voice paused, he threw aside the long wooden whip in his hand, turned around and said in a cold voice, "I know that many of you think that even if the Gauls gather a heavy army in Danny, they will be easily defeated by us, but now, I must tell you, if this is what you think, then you have fallen into the trap of the Gauls from the beginning. The Gauls were vulnerable to the city of Kozi, and that was because the city was a decoy thrown at us by the Gauls! The true combat core of the Gauls was only now beginning to be revealed! That was the sudden rainstorm!"
The generals below looked at each other, a little dazed,
The Great Army is fighting outside. Rain was common, if the Gauls thought that a single rain would be able to drag on for two months. That's a joke! If anyone else says that. The generals would scoff, but it was His Majesty Falcon who said this, and no one dared to hold the idea of contempt before, the governor of the south, Statunko, was the highest position here, and he was the only one who dared to ask such a question, and he glanced at the Central General Hukochili opposite him before asking a question. found that the other party's face was very calm, except for the central general Hu Keqili, the other people's faces were also the same confused as themselves
The fat man's face was as heavy as water, and he knew that if he didn't tell the matter thoroughly. These proud soldiers of the empire are definitely in the ears of the wind,
Walking to the window, pushing open the window that was crackling with raindrops, the fat man said, "I don't know if you have noticed, this year's rainy season is half a month earlier than last year!
"Your Majesty means that the Gauls want to take advantage of this rain to drag us into the winter? This should not be possible, the rainy season will at most greatly reduce the effectiveness of our army's siege incendiary bombs, but it will not be very effective for the heavy siege Thor!" Statunko hesitated for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty, "Yes, it's just a torrential rain!" The generals also had indifferent expressions on their faces, "Yesterday, His Majesty and I accidentally discovered outside the city of Kozi that the upper reaches of the river on the edge of the city of Kozi had been blocked!" Hukochili exclaimed, "What! the Gauls have blocked the river!" and the generals were in an uproar, and their faces changed. This trick of the Gauls is too ruthless, they actually blocked the river outside Kozi City before the war, it is really scary, not only do you not have to worry about being found abnormal by the falcon army stationed in Kozi City, but no one knows when the Gauls started to block it, the longer the blockage, the greater the amount of water hoarded, if you add continuous rainstorms, once the river is dug up, the turbulent torrent will pour down like a beast out of the cage, crushing the entire downstream area, and the Kezi City located downstream will not be spared" These despicable Gauls!'s subordinate army immediately moved out of Kozi!Find a safe place to station!" Statunko stood up with a heavy face and asked the fat man for instructions. The terrain of Kezi City is on the edge of the river, and the walls that can be blocked by the periphery have also been demolished, once the torrent rolls into the city, it will immediately be a country, no matter how brave the soldiers can not resist this kind of heavenly might, the 100,000 army will lose at least one-third, and the material is even more incalculable, and the subordinates have begun to appear in their eyes The tragic scene of the stacked corpses on the Sona River floating in the water and rolling the river on that day" "Rest assured, the rainstorm has just come, and the Gauls will not be so anxious to dig the river immediately!" The Gauls are waiting for us to press Danny urgently, and only in this way will the effect of digging up the river be greatest! The flood that spreads out of the river will turn the rear of our army into a flooded country, and our army will fall into a miserable situation where it will be impossible to advance forward, unable to retreat, and unable to supply even supplies!"
The fat man said coldly, feeling a trace of fear rising in the hearts of the generals, calmed his tone, pointed to the map on the table from the beginning, and said, "So from now on, we and the Gauls are like opponents on two tables, and the opponent's hole cards have been revealed, and now it's time for us to play our cards!"
"Statunko!" the fat man's left hand drew a circle on the map and commanded categorically
"Yes!" Statunko stood up straight, the commander uniform of the legion on a black background and gold trim, making his figure look like a piece of steel
"Tonight, under the cover of the night, you lead the Southern Army to attack Rasya, west of the Danni Plateau. Bodegul, the three cities of Scandne, the Gauls would not have thought that we would not leave the direction of Kozi, which had opened its gates, but attack three small cities that have no strategic value at all from Kozi a hundred miles away, and according to intelligence, in order to concentrate their forces to drag us in Danny, the Gauls did not have many troops stationed in these three small cities, only about 15,000, basically all of them were local armies, and their combat effectiveness was not strong" The fat man's hand nodded on the map. Ning Sheng said
"In three days, while the Gauls are anxiously waiting for us to go to Daniel, your southern army must take them!"
The fat man's resolute voice was full of bloody killing, and the faces of the generals showed expressions of understanding one by one, since what His Majesty said must be taken. That is, in order to pursue this strategic goal in the shortest possible time. Civilian casualties are tolerated. This is war, when the army is on the line of life and death, any rule can be abandoned!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Statunenko's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly, from the moment the fat man's finger landed on the map just now. His blood boiled, and as you could see from the map, the three small cities were worthless in normal combat, so the Gauls themselves kept only a few garrisons. But in a special environment, the value of these three small cities is very considerable
Rasya is a mountain city, no matter how the water rises, it can't rise to Rasya, as a large army to hoard supplies is the best, with this city, even if Kozi is turned into a Ze country by the Gauls, the impact on the front-line combat troops is not great, Bodegul and Skan are located at the same time in the upper reaches of the Tangguru River, another large river that crosses Danny Gaul,
The two cities are one on the left and one on the right, separated by less than 10 miles.
It is like two large gates in the front and back, controlling the upper reaches of the river, and the lower reaches of the Tangguru River is the city of Danni, where the Gauls are heavily armed, and in the rainstorm season, for the Gauls who already have ghosts in their hearts, the Falcon Army occupies Bodegur and Scand, which is tantamount to hanging a sharp knife over their heads!
Statunko was just a little puzzled, if the tactics of intercepting the river upstream and flooding the water were also adopted, the city of Danni, which has a tall city wall and is built on the mountain, would not have been flooded, but according to the character of the falcon, it may be difficult to say if he really wants to flood the city of Danni!
After arranging the Southern Army, the fat man began to arrange the operational deployment of the Central Army,
The combat power of the Southern Army is mainly good at positional warfare hoplites and well-trained crossbowmen, which belong to thick skin and thick meat, and the Central Army as the descendant of the fat man, is naturally the first class in the empire in terms of equipment, the Imperial Cavalry Flag Regiment with a number of up to 30,000 people are all veteran troops with rich combat experience, and the four full-fledged infantry flag regiments have also realized the replacement of three generations of crossbows, which belong to the kind of mobile troops that can fight, chase and carry, that is, they are slightly weaker in attacking the fortified positions, and the number of hoplites of the Central Army in this attack is only 15,000 people, because the fat man thinks that the Thor troops directly under the Central Army are enough to make up for the shortcomings in attacking the fortified positions, as for the head-on engagement, to wipe out the enemy in the distance! is the first article in the infantry combat manual of the Central Army!
"From now on, send all the cavalry of the Central Army to clear the enemy scouts within a radius of 30 miles from the camp!
With a sinister smile on the corner of the fat man's mouth, a word ignited the blood of the generals of the Central Army, and the battle line of the four infantry regiments advanced 30 miles, aiming at Sukejiade, the second largest city on the Danni Plateau, 30 miles away from Kozi, for the generals of the Central Army who did not win the first victory, is there a more exciting order than this!
"In three days, before the Gauls can react, you must take Sukogad, the Gauls are waiting for us to jump into the trap of Danny, we have taken this opportunity to take down several important cities, it must be very amusing to think of the depressed face of Algernonkatya who had to give up these important cities in order to lead us to Daniel!" laughed the fat man
"Haha!"
The generals below were also laughing, and everyone was full of confidence in the victory of the war, and they were all imagining the wolf bèi when the Gauls were deflated, and the tense atmosphere at the beginning of the meeting disappeared!
"What's the matter? The fat man tilted his head and looked businesslike, this woman is really a headache. "Gaza is about to leave for Gaul Kyoto, does His Majesty need to say goodbye at the end?" Li Yuehua asked with an ambiguous expression, "I only threw myself into His Majesty's arms last night, and I am going to leave today, what a beautiful woman! But this is the so-called parting, presumably His Majesty will be reluctant to give up in his heart!" "Nonsense, nothing happened at all last night!" The fat man glared at this bold woman angrily
"And there is nothing to regret! Since she chose this path by herself, she can only go on tenaciously by herself!"
Since Her Majesty doesn't want to see her for the last time, I'll send her away, ...... so sadly" Li Yuehua covered her heart with her small hands, with a sad look. Some of the generals who had just walked out of the venue immediately turned their faces away, showing that they had not seen anything, of course, in private, there would inevitably be rumors of an affair between His Majesty the Falcon and the beautiful intelligence officer of the Southwest Region.
"Forget it, bring me a word of wishing her a smooth journey!" the fat man took a deep breath. said a word to Li Yuehua, who had already turned around, and turned around and walked to his office. Keep talking. He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted
He took a copy of the text from the adjutant's hand, looked at the content of the text, but he couldn't get rid of a sense of guilt in his heart, and what was rolling in the fat man's mind was still the beautiful figure sleeping in the rising white morning light, a woman broke into Gallic Kyoto alone, and the danger was self-evident. Even if the identity of the Falcon Emperor's lover does not mean that it is safe,
The Falcon Empire fought against the Gauls, millions of Gauls died in the war, and hot-blooded militants were in places like Kyoto. It's always there, those hot-blooded young people who want to express their thoughts, don't dare to do it openly, it's normal to assassinate or something in secret, and these people are really not afraid of death!
"It seems that we still need to tell the Kyoto side and take care of it!" the fat man put down the report in his hand, picked up the quill pen that the knife was inserted in the inkwell, and wrote rustling on a piece of paper, knowing that somewhere out of sight, a carriage was carrying a brave avenger towards Gallic Kyoto!
The raindrops hit the windowsill of the black stone pebbles, the sound of crackling was like the sound of a pendulum ringing in the ears, Algernon Katya walked back and forth in the room uneasily, occasionally stopped, looked at the rain outside the window as white as a thin line, and the anxiety in his eyes was even stricter, this year's rainy season came early, half a month earlier than planned, the time difference in this judgment, the guide zhì himself spent 2 months, consumed countless efforts and energy for the strategic deployment, and was pushed to the brink of total collapse, this damn rain, why is it advanced!
"Any news from Kozi?"
Seeing his lieutenant come in, Algernon Katya asked very anxiously, in front of such a terrible opponent as the Vekia Falcon, any slight mistake will lead to a devastating blow, and when the rainstorm comes, the water on the river will inevitably skyrocket, in fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to discover the secret of the moat of Kozi City,
Now the only prayer can only be the carelessness of the Falcon Army,
Algernon Katya has sent someone to contact Hasenrambo, who is blocking the water in the upper reaches of the Kozi River, although the river has been intercepted for half a month, but there was almost no rain some time ago, and the water evaporated a lot in the hot August, 1 The hoarded water is not enough to wash downstream, at most it is to hit a few waves in the middle reaches, not to mention turning the downstream Kozi City into a muddy country,
According to the news from Hasenrampo, according to the amount of water falling in the rainy season, it will take at least ten days to create a flood that can reach the downstream! Thinking of this, Algernonkatya felt like he was dangling on a thin steel wire, ready to fall at any moment
"My lord, the scouts we sent out couldn't get close to the range of the Falcon Army, and the other side's cavalry of more than 10,000 people took a complete blockade, but Sukogad just came with the news that the Falcon Army had been discovered and asked for support!"
When Algernonkatya heard the news, he turned around excitedly, and instead of a worried look on his face, he showed joy.
Sukagad has discovered the Falcon Army! It is really a blessing from God, this news shows that the main force of the Falcon Army has left Kozi and arrived at Sukegaad, and now there should be no danger of being exposed.
Sukogad is located in the middle of the Danni Plateau, the second largest city on the plateau, with a population of 80,000 and a strong wall, he arranged 20,000 people there, he should be able to hold out for three days, then Granburg, and finally Danny, when the Falcon Army breaks through the obstacles and reaches the city of Danny, the butcher will be greeted by a huge shock that the back road has turned into a terrible Ze country.
Thinking of this, Algernon Katya finally showed a hideous smile on his face, and he was victorious, Vikia Falcon, even if you are a bird of prey with soaring wings, and fall into this mud waiting for you, you will only have a sorrow! (To be continued......)
