1826 The Death of a Famous General (7)

The Battle of Danni with its tragic, tragic, like the ups and downs of the hell song, as the most important battle in the late Gallic Empire was forever recorded in the history of the O'Baro Wars, the battle was fought between the military group headed by the Falcon Emperor of the rising Northwest and the Gallic Praetorian Guard led by the famous Gaul general Algernon Katya as the backbone of the Northern Army Group, both sides of the confrontation were at the level of 100,000 people, but it was a fierce collision between the real elite troops of the two empires, from the initial tactical confrontation to the final tragic breakthrough battle under the city of Danny, the weather became a key turning point in determining the direction of the war, is also a rare tragic battle in which "luck did not particularly favor His Majesty the Emperor" - excerpt from "The Battle to the Death of the Northern Army of Gaul - The Song of the Soul of Danny Hell" Author: Hoover, vice president of the Imperial Military Research Institute

The rain poured down, the black oppressed human heads were swaying on the ground, the two armies were staggered together, the 200,000 troops were intertwined on this land less than 5 miles long and wide, people were crowded, queue after queue, countless spears collided with each other, making a snapping sound, the hoplites on both sides clashed like wolves were forced into a corner, and their mouths roared like wild beasts: "Come on, you want my skin, I want your meat!" The overcrowded queue turned the spear array into a fierce slash with each melee weapon,

A Gallic hoplite with a very good motor nerve and a very quick reaction heard the sound of breaking the air, and when he looked up, he saw the battle axe of the Falcon hoplite slashing at his head in a circle. Then, before he could make a sound, he was struck in the middle left of his head. At that time, the cheekbones, eyeballs, and skull all clicked, and the brain burst directly. The headless corpse lay in pillars of blood on the vast grassy and bushes that had been trampled flat, and the compatriots behind him walked past his corpse with expressionless faces.

In a fierce battle like thunder, the flesh and blood body in heavy armor will also be cut through the gaps by countless weapons, and the cultivation of a heavy infantry needs to start from a year ago, and it needs to be trained. Stamina. You also need to train in swordsmanship, spearmanship, shields, etc., and any other weapon that can fight in close combat. A year of continuous training, so that you can get through, it takes a year to make a qualified hoplite, then. Kill a hoplite. In such a hand-to-hand fight, it only takes five seconds!

The first wave of Gaul light infantry had already collapsed, and the corpses were lying under the feet of the heavy infantry of the Southern Army, and the blood mixed with the rain formed dark red streams on the ground, and the heavy armor and iron boots of the heavy armor and iron boots of the heavy heavy armor and iron boots of the Southern Army stepped on the dark red blood, and knocked the enemy who pounced on them with their shields, smashed them at the enemy with their battle axes, and picked up a handful of swords when they broke. The weapon began to grow heavy on his head, and his arm sore swung its flail against the enemy's iron armor. It's like a crackling sound like a rainstorm in front of you,

They fought with the waves of enemies that rushed up, slashing with all their might, until they fell, and the enemy stepped over their bodies, moved by the mountains of corpses around them,

The fat man stood on the high ground of the central army's main formation with a stern expression, the cold rain hit his face, like a white mist beside him, a crystal clear water drop hung on the corner of his eyebrows, and the eyes of the fierce eyes watched the incomparably tragic battlefield in front of him.

From one bulge to another, the cold light of metal in the rain reveals the coldness, the two armies are staggered, like two huge dragons rolling, less than three thousand meters apart from each other, but between these two bulges, nearly 200,000 soldiers who are fighting each other have gathered, what a crowded area, as far as the eye can see, are the crowd of fierce battles, because the distance is short, and it is a desperate battle, the cluster of the northern army of Gaul has a prominent advantage in the narrow area, the main direction of attack is the southern army that is desperately attacking with several times the sacrifice, and the flanks are elite blocking troops

The all-out blow of a desperate bet is like the last hope of a dying person, the strength is surprisingly great, and it is also fierce and decisive, and the whole army is full of indomitable grief and indignation, but once this momentum is stopped, the high morale will immediately fall to the freezing point, "Hukochili, it's all up to you this time!" The fat man clasped his hands together,

The fierce battle lasted until 3 p.m., and in the favorable weather of heavy rain, the frontal attack front of the northern army of Gaul penetrated deep into the battle line of the southern army of the Falcon Empire at the cost of more than 30,000 casualties. Ten minutes earlier, the herald had ordered the cavalry to bring the Southern Governor-General Stutunko for a request for support, which was very difficult for the arrogant Sttoonko, proving that the situation in the Southern Army was on the verge of collapse,

"Grant his request and order the 3rd and 4th Infantry Banner Regiment of the Central Army to move forward!

The fat man glanced at the gap where the southern army was torn bigger and bigger, and gave the order to join the second line of defense, on the one hand, the northern Gallic army did not care about the crowd that swooped in like a wave, and on the other hand, Hukochili and the cavalry troops and Salon's infantry were blocked on the side, and several charges were blocked, and the situation of the battle reached a difficult choice of whether the troops encircled by themselves broke the blockade and cut the offensive of the northern Gallic army from the side, or the northern Gallic army broke through the defense line of the southern army and broke through, the two sides were like the legendary two-headed snake, to see who could devour each other first,

The war horse of the herald cavalry brought good news to the Southern Army in the fierce battle, and the Southern Governor Statunenko, who had already put his helmet on his head and took the sword from the guards next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief. More than half of the 30,000 troops of the Southern Army were killed under the onslaught of the Northern Army of Gaul, one flag commander was seriously wounded, and other officers from the squadron leader down were killed as many as 300 people, and the entire command system was almost completely disabled, and even he did not know whether the retreat order that was conveyed could still take effect, because the soldiers who were still insisting on it were completely supported by a sense of honor of a soldier, just like a person whose body was exhausted, wielding his weapons in a completely numb state

As the two banner regiments of the Central Army, which were new troops, quickly inserted into the defensive line vacillated by the Southern Army, and the heavy horizontal spear unit unique to the Central Army immediately gave the Gallic Northern Army a head-on blow. The front was densely packed with Gauls, and the hoplites of the Southern Army gritted their teeth desperately to block them with shields, and the weapons of the Gallic infantry smashed frantically on the shields. The horizontal spear fell from a high place like a hammer, and the one-foot-long horizontal blade was pulled back after hitting the target, only to see countless blood exploding on the opposite side, and the heads of many Gallic people who were caught off guard exploded like smashed watermelons, and the bright red blood mixed with the yellow and white brains splashed directly on the faces of the confused soldiers behind

"It's the spearmen of the Falcon Central Army! It seems that at the most critical moment, that bastard will indeed give the order to replace!"

Algernonkatya's pupils shrank nervously in the distance. Seeing the slightly frustrated offensive ahead, there was no anger on his face, but a smug smile. Finally opened the hope of the army to break through, if it is about the army rushing and winning by surprise, his talent can only be regarded as mediocre. But to play this kind of dignified matchup. The Gaul Empire has hundreds of years of experience, and the theory of superposition of battle formations he proposed at the age of nineteen has been recognized as a genius in battle formations by many veterans who have experienced many battles, otherwise, he would not be able to serve as the commander of the southwest region at the age of twenty-seven. "Order the armies to maintain pinning, and the fourth and sixth infantry regiments as a reserve begin to advance towards the predetermined breakthrough point!"

Algernonkatya commanded excitedly and loudly in the rain. Waited so long and sacrificed more than 30,000 people. Finally pulled the Wiki Falcon as a reserve into the battle group, just like two players, the Vekia Falcon has played the last card, and is no longer able to mobilize any blocking force, from now on, the initiative of the battlefield situation will completely fall into their own hands "Everyone get up, forward!" The Gallic herald ordered the cavalry to run quickly in front of the reserve troops in the rear, and the elite soldiers of the two infantry regiments totaling 17,000 began to move forward, and the rain struck the Gallic Northern soldiers with iron armor in the face, and the direction of attack of the two infantry regiments was not the southern army defense line, but a corner of the southern army defense line that had unconsciously collapsed, where there was a raised mound, because the fierce battle was too fierce, Stoutunko gave the order to shrink the battle line in the case of insufficient troops,

Invisibly, this seemingly inconspicuous control point was exposed, no one noticed it, everyone was attracted by the tragic Southern Army front, even the fat man did not notice it, the pressure made him unable to be distracted, and this sudden rainstorm disrupted all the plans in his heart.

According to the plan, under the dense coverage of hundreds of Thor, even if it did not collapse, it would not use dense tactics to break up the southern army's defense line as in front of it, until the southern army's defense line was forced to close and occupy the mound, so that the main force could also be covered to break out of the encirclement, and this battle was completely dominated by unpredictable weather.

If it can meet the heavy rain, such a plan can succeed eighty percent, from the very beginning, the plan of the Gallic Northern Army is like this, Algernon Katya cold-blooded and ruthless put one team after another into a battle to the death, regardless of the cost of forcing the Falcon Army to shrink the defensive line, and this is also the purpose, now in front of the Gallic Northern Army is a road of escape without troop deployment, but enough to become a bolt of escape, this raised mound can become a block when the army retreats, "Speed up!" The infantry captains were shouting loudly, and the two recuperated infantry regiments rushed towards this strategic point, and on the flank battlefield where the fat man pinned his hopes, the desperately resisting Gallic First Steps, using the spear infantry to wear down the impact of the Imperial cavalry, "The whole army is assaulted, and if you can't take it down, from the squadron commander down, all of them will be beheaded!"

The Imperial Warrior reined in his horse again, Hukochili's armor was covered with blood and broken flesh, his voice was cold and calm, the defense on the opposite side was as tenacious as an iron wall, and the cavalry cluster charged into it many times, and was forced out by the other party with a spear,

He rushed into the enemy line again, and the imperial cavalry behind him followed, and everyone could already feel that the Gauls on the opposite side were no longer good, and only a few of the four-meter spears were still rising, and there were less than 5,000 soldiers who could stand upright. "Kill!"

Hukochi launched a sixth charge, personally leading the death squad to the front line. They were tightly wrapped together in a dense formation, golden eagle flags flying high overhead. Hukochi wielded a heavy sword weighing twenty pounds, and all the Gallic soldiers who stood in his way were unlucky. Countless heads wrapped in steel helmets or fur hats were shattered by his terrible heavy sword.

Under his leadership, the Imperial cavalry succeeded this time. For some unknown reason, this time the Gauls were in disarray, and the cavalry swept through the steppe like a blazing fire. With a fierce spirit that is not afraid of death, he personally led a team of iron cavalry to break through the barrier of hundreds of infantry in Gaul, and killed in front of the battle flag of the first regiment. "Bang" crisp and pleasant sound, the first step of the corps battle flag was cut down from the sky by Hu Keqili with a sword,

The first corps of the Northern Army, whose endurance has reached the bottom line. Finally it began to crumble, and the heavens were always fair, closing a door and opening a door at the same time, in fact, at the time of the fifth impact. The commander of the First Regiment, Luras, was impaled through the lobe of his lung during the chaotic battle. Badly wounded, he held out for a few minutes before dying, his body stacked on top of each other pikemen who had died on the front line,

The exhausted Gallic infantry stood in the rain, blood everywhere, the rain crackling on their faces and causing pain, their breathing in the vast rain, numb to killing and being killed, only this cold feeling still reminded them that they were living in the world. Chaotic resistance, a large number of middle and lower-ranking officers were killed in battle. So much so that even the soldiers of the Gallic First Advance Corps did not know that their commander had been killed, so that they could not organize and collapsed under the sixth onslaught, and under the slashing of the Imperial Cavalry, the elite of the First Gallic First Legion of the Northern Army came to an end.

One of the guards shouted excitedly, pointing to the distance, the black Imperial cavalry cluster finally broke free, and Hukochili, who had broken through the flank, was advancing in the direction of the main force of the Gallic Northern Army, and the cavalry kept kicking the horse's belly with spurs, pulling the reins, and rushing towards the middle of the densest Northern Army with bloody swords, rolling around with their heads. In one row, two rows, three rows, the Imperial cavalry rushed into the flank of the northern army of Gaul and forcibly made a cross-cut on the flank of the Gallic infantry,

The Northern Gallic Army, which had just been transferred back from the front line to rest, was unable to mobilize troops in time to respond in the face of the sudden flank attack of a large number of cavalry, and the army was completely in a situation of fighting on its own, and one by one the squadron flags collapsed under the impact of the Falcon Cavalry, facing the Falcon Cavalry cutting like a sharp blade

"Everybody's rallying to me!"

In front of him, the elite infantry directly under the corps neatly raised their bayonet spears, and the tips of the long spears moved forward in unison, as if a forest composed of spears suddenly appeared on the ground, the tips of the spears flashed with a terrible light of metal, and the regimental battle flag with golden tassels appeared in front of him, which quickly became the target of the imperial cavalry, accompanied by terrible hooves and shouts of killing, the imperial cavalry swept high like a huge scythe,

The row of Gallic infantry running in front of the "pop" disappeared in an instant, followed by countless heavy horse hooves kicked down,

"Kill!" The warriors on both sides surged up at this moment, and the spears stabbed out violently, piercing into the abdomen of the war horses in front of them, bringing a rain of blood, and the imperial cavalry above was thrown off the horse's back as if they had been hit hard, and fell on the spears below,

"The guards are with me!"

Trensk rushed up with his own personal cavalry, the rainstorm was in the sky, the war horses were like thunder, the cavalry on both sides of the "killing" collided together, the sharp weapons of the two sides collided together, the five hundred personal guards cavalry were like arrows hitting the black cavalry cluster at once, flushing red blood flowers, staggered, the war horses neighed, the knights rolled, the first team rushed in, the second team pressed in, the third team pressed on, the war horses collided with the enemy in front of them, "pop" Shields, armor, weapons, bodies, the two sides collided like two long walls of steel colliding at high speed, completely ignoring life and death,

A few minutes later, five hundred personal guard cavalry were flooded by the black tide on the opposite side, Trensk was cut in the shoulder by a cavalryman who staggered past after cutting down three imperial cavalry, the heavy sword of the hand fell to the ground with the broken right hand, and countless black cavalry finally drowned him, "Bang" The battle flag of the Northern Army of Gaul was cut off with a single sword, and the golden tassels fell in the air "The flank is finished!"

Lescott, who commanded the Eighth Infantry Regiment, held the line with the last thousand men, and as the Imperial cavalry broke through to the flank, his troops were in disarray, and the opposite Salon grabbed the fighter plane and pressed the whole army, in front of the black infantry cluster swept by the wind, the Eighth Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army, known as the iron wall, fell one after another like ripe ears of wheat, and Hukochili's cavalry cluster swept their backs unceremoniously, like a chopping board struck by two heavy hammers at the same time, and each splash was loud blood,

The fierce battle lasted until 4:13 p.m., when the 8th Infantry Regiment cut through the middle of the Saron and Hukochi forces.

"The Northern Army, the glorious Northern Army, will never fall!" Lescott's hoarse voice shouted loudly, and he drew his saber to meet the Falcon Imperial infantry swarming in front, the long sword stabbed into the chest of an Imperial infantry with the sound of the wind, the long sword pierced through the chest of the Falcon infantryman, and the sharp blade completely pierced his body, "poof" Several spears also pierced his body mercilessly, and the bright red blood was like water squeezed out when a pipe bursts, splattering out from the gap in Lescott's armor (to be continued......
