2096 The Empire Strikes Back (XI)
turned over the battle report in his hand, the fat man's eyelids were not raised, the wind blew in from outside the tent, and lifted the corner of the fat man's armor covered by the robe,
In the entire army tent, from the five major army commanders of the empire and the governor of the southwest, more than twenty imperial generals in heavy armor did not dare to take a breath at this moment, but they looked at His Majesty the Falcon with direct eyes, as if they wanted to see a flower on the fat man's face.
"This bastard, when is it, still pretending!"
Ssalon glared at the opposite side of the Putau and Gangfei Southern Governor Varisian, this guy is looking at the nose, nose and heart, looking directly at the ground, I don't know what he is looking at, Salonn doesn't believe it, the huge reward of three million gold coins will not be placed in the eyes of Valisian, you must know that this is a military reward, it is a fair and honest private property, even if the Imperial Supervision Department finds out the head, three million gold coins, even if he is the richest regional governor of the empire has fought hard over the years, that is, this number, although Varisian is an eye-catching new regional governor of the empire, but he used to be poor in the Putao area to sell perfume, there are no longer a few people who know, three million gold coins are placed in front of them and are not moved, who believes this kind of thing!
This Imperial military circle is faintly the first general under the five army commanders, Varisian, feeling the gaze from the opposite side, raised his head, and just glanced at Salon's cloudy one-eye, and then smiled a little embarrassed, Don't look at me like this, it's not that I don't understand what the old boss meant, it's really that this game of chess is too big,
The empire's 300,000 troops suddenly threw themselves into the northern front of Rayla, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations, even if no one in the Falcon Imperial Army thought of it, it can be seen that His Majesty Falcon had already calculated in his heart, such an unprecedented scale of counterattack, naturally it would not just invest 90,000 grassland cavalry to finish the matter, and the three million huge reward would be smashed. According to the falcon's nature of never suffering a loss, I am afraid that I have already made a plan to recover 6 million, 9 million, or even 10 million, and I am short-sighted, and I can't see how to fight this plan, and I am not looking for fun without permission!
After the Xiting cavalry broke through the predetermined location and annihilated the Hun cavalry that came to help. is marching in the direction of the Hungarian base camp!" An imperial guard hurriedly walked in from Zhang Wai, knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man and said, "It's just that the main force of the Xiting cavalry did not march close to the periphery of the breakthrough, but drew a half-arc"
"Oh, half-arc, isn't it stupid!" The fat man raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly to himself, "This is a precursor for the Xiting cavalry to bypass the outer defense of the Hun base camp and give it a fatal blow from behind!" As the commander of the first army, Varisian thought more. Suddenly raised his head in surprise, just in time to see that the one eye of Salon on the other side also flashed, revealing a look of surprise, obviously thinking of it with himself. The expressions of the others were about the same, and some couldn't help but be eager, it was really cunning, and they actually broke through the ambush. I still want to play a one-handed back kill! I really treat the Huns as enemies like earth dogs. In the big tent, they are all the people of the empire, how can they not see the sharpness of the Xiting people's approach,
Breakthrough in the first battle. One blow to defeat 30,000 Hungarian troops, set up an ambush and then destroy the 40,000 Hungarian troops who came to help, at this time, the Hungarians are only afraid that they have already been alarmed, if the Xiting cavalry arrogant directly towards the Hungarian base camp, I am afraid that at most it will touch the edge of the Hungarian base camp, it will be entangled by the forces mobilized by the Hungarians, at this time, I am afraid that I don't know how many Hun scouts have left the base camp on the periphery, like a swarm of bees, to prevent the enemy cavalry from sneaking up from the side by surprise. Going around a big arc that no one could have imagined, and then suddenly launching a blow in the back, it is indeed worthy of the tactical habits that the steppe people have learned from wolf hunting,
"Your Majesty, the previous attack has lasted for a day, and it has attracted all the attention of the Hun people, and the main force of Duo Weiyan is now entering, which will inevitably lead the main force of the Hun Army to move towards the left flank, at this time, if the attack is changed to an attack, ......" Salon couldn't hold back, as the highest status in the military tent and one of the five commanders of the empire, he hesitated, gritted his teeth, and looked at the fat man who put down the military newspaper in his hand, and didn't seem to have the slightest intention of sending troops,
"Anxious?" the fat man's eyes flashed like lightning,
"Don't be afraid of His Majesty's jokes, his subordinates are indeed a little anxious!" The corners of Salon's mouth sneered, anyway, he opened his mouth, according to his relationship with His Majesty, he should not be punished, so he simply let go and said, "As an imperial soldier, the temptation of the three million bounty is secondary, what is the glory of the soldiers, the best in the empire, and the highest battle reward in the empire, carrying the glory of the first army of the Obaro continent, how can you not let the nondescript Xiting cavalry steal the limelight" This counterattack was the vanguard of the Xiting cavalry, and it was the Xiting cavalry who tore through the Hun defense line, if the Xiting cavalry finally flooded the base camp of the Hun people, then there would really be no place for the face of the imperial army! "What about you, are you also in a hurry?"
The fat man looked at everyone in the military tent, and asked sharply, if the first 90,000 cavalry in Xiting was a spear that he pierced into, then the 50,000 Imperial Guards Regiment and the entire army in the southwest of Salon, which were ready to go, were waiting for the hammer they pulled out after this spear, and boiled up the arrogance of these arrogant soldiers, so that this hammer could really smash the power of a blow, the final blow of this battle, he had no intention of leaving it to his brother-in-law, the imperial generals in the big tent all cheered up at once, their bodies collapsed straight, and they replied neatly, and the military tent was suddenly filled with a solemn murderous force,
The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly, "The Hun people are also cavalry, and they are not inferior to the Xiting cavalry in terms of mobility, and they have already revealed their whereabouts, even if they choose to detour at this moment, they are afraid that they have already begun to be entangled, with the combat power of the 90,000 cavalry of the West Court, they can naturally break all the way, and finally push to the base camp of the Western Army of Hungary, but after all, they have spared the long way and delayed time! That is to say, it is still possible for you to get ahead of them!" "Your Majesty means that we will go straight to the base camp of the Hungarians?" Salon blinked his eyes, his face was slightly stunned, although the Hungarian Western Army on the opposite side was not strong, it was still 300,000, even if it was half attracted by the Xiting cavalry. , there are also 150,000 on the opposite side, and there are also an incalculable number of auxiliary prisoners, forcibly driving the imperial army to break through from the front. There is no doubt about victory, but it is also very uncertain to say that he can destroy the Hun Ya base camp before the Xiting people, "Your Majesty, secret report!"
At this time, another imperial guard entered the tent and placed a sealed secret letter on the table, and the fat man picked up the secret report on the table, looked at it, and pressed his hand on the table. "Your Majesty?" everyone's eyes looked at the fat man, "Commander of the Western Army of Hungary, the great minister Wuya is dead!"
The corners of the fat man's mouth opened, and he laughed, "Wuya is dead!" Now the Hungarian base camp has become a pot of porridge, because the Great Hungarian Wuya died too suddenly, in the chaos, the old tribe of the former Hungarian King took the opportunity to suddenly announce that they were going to evacuate and return to China, and the two rescued patriarchs who were imprisoned by Wuya without authorization also broke out the news that the flank was broken through, and now the entire Western Army base camp is shaken, and there is no suppression of the Great Minister's Wuya. The various ethnic groups and tribes have been in chaos, some are shouting for rescue of the flanks, some are shouting for evacuation, and some are simply speaking. The order to evacuate has been issued" "Salon!" The fat man took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly raised, "The Hungarian teeth have risen up, and the enemy of the empire is nothing more than to regard our empire as weak and bullied. They must be made to pay. Let the world know what will happen to our enemies. The battle to attack the Hungarian base camp will be handed over to you, and within half a day, take the base camp of the Hungarian Western Army!"
"Yes!" said Salon excitedly. There were also sparks in the eyes of the other generals, only Varisian, who was in charge of garrisoning the original intention and temporarily acting as a backup, his face changed, and he saw some vague information from the face of the falcon, could this be the big game of chess that His Majesty had been waiting for?
Otherwise, the timing of the death of the great minister is too timely, this half month, the opposite Hungarian Western Army also saw it, these Ruila people who have pulled out their desperate determination are not easy to bite, anyway, they should have grabbed enough, continue to move forward, they really have to break their muscles and bones, this kind of thing, no one wants to do it, if it were not for the power of the Great Minister Wuya, the Western Army would have dispersed and returned to China long ago. As soon as the black tooth dies, the Western Army must be its most chaotic time, and His Majesty the Falcon has been planning for so long, and finally waited for the opportunity to cut off the arms of the Hun Ya in one fell swoop!
At noon on June 3, opposite the Hungarian Western Army, there was a large black imperial legion, the infantry group of the imperial army advanced neatly in front of the arrow rain of the Hungarian cavalry, completely relying on the strong force to carry out the crushing, the Hung Arab archers did not dare to engage in the battle at all, and were forced to flee by the huge pressure on the face, and the tens of thousands of Hungarian auxiliaries were directly surrounded and crushed by the black legion, and the entire garrison line did not expect to deal with such a number of enemies, the opponent's military formation was like a huge plice, pried open, torn, and the imperial crossbowmen who advanced behind the military formation made the Hungarian archers fall countless times,
A total of 220,000 imperial main forces were engaged in this battle, six infantry flag regiments and 20,000 cavalry of the southwest region of the entire army, three infantry flag regiments and 30,000 guards cavalry of the imperial guards, six infantry flag regiments of the imperial central army, and two infantry flag regiments of the Gangfei Southern Army, and the soldiers were black and bright. The eyes were clear, murderous, and after lightly smashing the garrison troops on the border of the Hungarians, the army roared and rushed to the direction of the Hungarian base camp, and the terrifying news poured in with the fire and iron hooves, and the sea of blood flooded the camp of the Hungarians encountered along the way, and the sky was shrouded in black smoke.
The Hungarian archers, who were accustomed to mobile warfare, had never encountered such a terrible enemy at all, the opponent's archers shot farther than themselves, and the entire row of advancing infantry armor shone in the bright sun, and there was no end in sight, as if the black and oppressive dark clouds flew from the sky, such as the spears of the forest, pointing directly to the blue sky, one after another embroidered falcon battle flags, fluttering and swaying above the black oppressive military formation, making a crackling sound in the wind, countless arrow clusters hit the frightened front of the Hun people like uninterrupted raindrops, and the soldiers disappeared in pieces, and countless footsteps dressed in steel were raised at the same timeStepping on the ground, the sound of stepping on the ground was like an earthquake roaring: the phalanx was as neat as a black copper wall, until it covered the sky and earth in the field of vision of the Hun people.
On the flanks of the military formation, there were countless black cavalry galloping from the sky, "killing"
Then there was the sound of a sharp blade unsheathed, like a snow-white light flickering, and the Hun archers who had been disrupted were driven around,
The black cavalry was wrapped in a storm of slaughter, and slammed into the ranks of the Hun cavalry, like a file. Fiercely stabbed into the front of the Hun Ya people, the scimitar of the Hun cavalry slashed on the opponent's armor, and was bounced away, the opponent's skilled tactical cooperation and superb riding skills, the blade quickly brought up a flash of blood-colored light and shadow. Bright red blood shot from the panicked Hungarians' necks. Just like a ball of red flowers exploding in high-speed movement, the armor of the Imperial Guards cavalry is sparsely equipped, and many people are still using the Hungarian scimitar of copper weapons to cut it!"The front line collapsed, and the Falcon Imperial Army broke through on a large scale! The number cannot be counted" "Feia is lost, the Tusu patriarch is killed in battle, and all 4,000 people in his department are destroyed" "Modisia is lost, the Patriarch of Rasu is seriously injured, and all 7,000 people in his department are destroyed" "Haruolen is broken, and Patriarch Rysena is killed in battle. Department ...... "The camps were broken by the imperial army, and the troops that broke into the empire reached more than 100,000 troops alone, scattered and attacked all the way, it was really like a waterfall and an iron stream flowed down, where the wooden camp fences built by the Huns along the way could be blocked, and the camps were set on fire. Smoke and flames rose into the sky, and these pillars of smoke seemed to be the legs and feet of giants. Closely chasing behind the crowd of people who don't know how many people only know how to flee for their lives. In addition to these infantry clusters that were still advancing in order, the 30,000 Imperial Guards cavalry and his own cavalry in the southwest region led by Saron himself were almost three-quarters of the Imperial cavalry strength in this counterattack. Ignoring the camps of the Huns along the way. Ignoring the crowd of people fleeing for their lives, they desperately went straight in. The infiltration of these imperial cavalry has exacerbated the confusion of the Huns, and I don't know how many Huns were chased and vomited blood. Fell to the ground softly, and then trampled on the countless horses' hooves
The battle reports from the front line were transmitted back to the still messy base camp at a speed of almost ten minutes. A few surprises, no, dozens of surprises, the 70,000 Hungarian troops who were still stranded in the base camp of the Western Army had fallen into a dazed situation, everyone's eyes widened, looking at the news from the front in a row, the news from the front was a sentence anyway, defeated, the front was defeated, the fierceness of the enemy was completely beyond the situation that the Hungarians could imagine, that feeling, it was like the sky collapsed,
From the border to the base camp of the army, the distance is about 30 miles, during which there are several lines of defense formed by the elite of the various departments of the Hungarians, and the strength of the troops is also 30,000 or 40,000 people. There were too many, they couldn't fight at all, they just rushed over, straight over, and my people collapsed......" As for the opponent's tactics and weapons, he couldn't think of them at all.
It was a nightmare, just why was this nightmare so clear!
The opposing cavalry pounced on a large scale, and as soon as they rushed, their own troops collapsed in an uproar. All of them are the best men of the clan, all of them are good at riding horses and shooting bows, why are they all shattered at once, without them, what are I, the patriarch, still alive for?
Yes, this time, the whole country is raising troops, who has not brought out all the old and young of the clan, as long as the men who can draw bows and shoot arrows and ride war horses, they have all joined this expedition with great benefits, at that time, who would have thought what would happen once this battle was defeated? The whole clan of capable men died here, and how should the orphans and widows of the remaining clan live?
In two hours, the four lines of defense of the Hun people were broken, and the cavalry troops broke through all the way to more than ten miles, and the desperate resistance of the Hun people was beaten to the point that they lost their armor in less than ten minutes in front of the imperial tiger who had been suffocated for half a day. The archers only released one round of arrows, as if they didn't cause any losses to the other party at all, and they were rushed to pieces.
A large number of Hungarian auxiliaries who have lost their control zhì, the slaves from various countries who have been captured and driven away, and the fleeing of crying fathers and mothers, and the crowd of people who have collapsed and retreated have already appeared in the sight of the Hungarian base camp, among which there are people from all walks of life who have lost their armor and are wrapped up in the frenzied tide and can easily escape.
Less than three hours after the start of the war, the Hungarian cavalry, who thought they had an advantage in strength before the war, became tens of thousands of little hairy children crying for their fathers and mothers, and they couldn't retreat if they wanted to gather their troops, and the patriarchs of all ethnic groups only fled with less than a hundred wolves.
The patriarchs of all ethnic groups in the base camp of the Hungarian Western Army were completely frightened by this battle situation, and at this moment it was like being poured down from their heads by a bucket of cold water floating with ice cubes, and they were poured cold on their hearts. All in a panic,
They knew that there was a gap between their own combat strength and that of the real Imperial Army, but they never expected that the gap would be so large that they could not make up for it by virtue of their superiority in troops, and it seemed that the side that had the advantage in troops was still the other side! How many troops did the other side put in, and was it necessary to continue fighting?
"Report, the Imperial Army's Qianrui is less than ten miles away from the camp!" just looked at the Xun cavalry from the front, galloping all the way without sparing horsepower, tearing out his throat and screaming wildly all the way, regardless of whether anyone could hear this distance or not, (to be continued......
