1663 Empire vs. Empire (II)
The mountains in the distance meander away, and the earth is shrouded in the rising morning light
In the late autumn of the earth, under the sky at the end of July, the beautiful colors of summer have faded. The peaks in the distance are eternal snow, the plains are covered with thick fog, and the slightly damp woods are silent,
In the depths of the forest, a lonely bird, making a gentle and timid chirp, in the light fog veil, there is a faint rolling sound trembling, the earth at the end of autumn, full of withered yellow, in the distance of the forest, a faint black line gradually emerged,
The ground was also at this moment, making a dull sound, like a moan under the weight of an overwhelmed man
"What is that?" On a watchtower on the left flank of Gaul, a sleepy-eyed sentry pointed to the black line in the distance, "It seems to be a ......" Another sentry got up dissatisfied, stretched out half of his body and looked in the direction of his companion's finger, and suddenly his body shuddered, "It's cavalry, the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels!" The sentry grabbed his companion next to him with a pale face, and shouted hysterically, "Quick, ring the bell, the enemy's cavalry is coming!"
"The cavalry of the Northwest Rebels! Damn!" The sentry who found out about the situation was also frightened, several battles between the Empire and the Northwest Rebels, the sharpness of the rebel cavalry had already made many Gallic local troops who had not really fought with the Northwest Rebels tremble,
In the battle of the Sona River, in order to cover up his mistakes and improper command, the commander-in-chief Stanley Spencer's summary of the battle was described as follows: "The northwest rebels used high-impact cavalry clusters to cut off their own army in one fell swoop in the riverside area that was unfavorable to them, and the Gallic Fourth Army was in charge of the rear of the palace, because the commander of the regiment was ineffective, and was broken through by the northwest rebel cavalry cluster, resulting in the rout of the whole army"
The commander of the Fourth Army is already a dead man anyway, and a dead man will not speak, in this report. Stanley Spencer, in addition to denouncing the disadvantage of the Fourth Army of the Empire, also greatly exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels,
In particular, it was mentioned that the traitor Murphy Oone once used the same number of Murphy dragon armor cavalry to face off against the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the dragon armor cavalry with the name of breaking the formation of dragon armor in the eastern battlefield was wiped out by the same number of Northwest Rebel cavalry.
The report reached the Gallic Military Ministry, and the entire Gallic military circles shook,
As one of the three major heavy cavalry of the empire, Murphy Dragon Armor was completely defeated by the cavalry of the Northwest rebels. This definitely stimulated the pride of the Gauls, and the name of the Vicchia Falcon, the sharpest talon of the butchers of the Northwest, spread in the interior of Gaul.
For most Gauls, the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels was even more terrifying than the Murphy Dragon's Heavy Cavalry, but they didn't know that even with the claws of the falcon, there were different types of cavalry under their command, ordinary cavalry. Central Army cavalry, Guards cavalry, steppe cavalry, and this time. They will face the steppe cavalry known as the Nightmare!
"Bell!
Eager alarm bells rang from the watchtowers of the Gallic army
From the height of the watchtower, in the faintly floating white mist, a group of light cavalry wearing yar-caps and silver armor could be seen. Like a wave that covers the earth, it swarms in the direction of the camp,
The general of the Eastern Garden, Wu Mu, rode on a strong grassland war horse, wearing the wolf head and shoulder armor of the grassland ten thousand horsemen. The temples were coiled in the characteristic bun of the steppe people, and the horse's hooves suddenly stopped in front of them, raising up a cloud of smoke and dust in the ground
The gloomy gaze swept over the camp in the distance, cold as a rock, because some clan affairs needed to be resolved, as an excuse, Rui Tang Tingna rarely chose to stay in the country, but assigned this remnant of the famous general of the Eastern Court as the commander of the 30,000 grassland cavalry sent this time,
No one has ever been able to change what Vekia Falcon decides, and Rui Tang Tingna is also well aware of this transfer of troops, her power is expanding too fast, and it has obviously attracted the attention of the dead fat man, don't look at the dead fat man's always lustful expression, in one fell swoop, he wiped out the Dongting Eastern Army, forcing the Western Army to be willing to punish himself, and the Prairie Xiting did not even dare to show the slightest resistance under the pressure of this spokesperson of the Immortal Heaven.
In the face of the crisis to the interests of the empire, the cold and ruthless nature of this imperial military god has never changed!
"I'm an iron knight in the East Garden, show your strength again! Prepare to cover! Ten breaths in a row" Wu Mu's hand slowly raised, and behind him were two flag bearers, one holding the golden falcon battle flag of the Falcon Army, and the other holding the three-star flag of the Bright Moon of the Prairie people, and the two large flags made a gurgling sound in the howling wind
Behind him, the 30,000 Dongting cavalry advancing in a linear pattern, jumped up and down with the queue, flew to a relatively high mound, untied the grassland compound bow on his body, 30,000 grassland compound bows, and raised them neatly at a 45-degree angle in front of him.
"Shoot!"
The wood's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, and the majestic voice was like an eagle's cry from the prairie, and the swift forward cavalry cluster, at the top of the mound, was like hitting an invisible stone, and the queue in the front row suddenly spread out to the wings, and the entire row of arrows was also detached from the bowstring at the same time, shooting into the sky with a violent whistling sound, "pop pap" The sound of the bowstring vibrating was like a torrential rain crashing on the dry earth, and even a hundred meters away, the Gaul sentinels could hear it clearly, but in the ears of the Gauls, it was the sound of the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe, "Attention!
The sentry shouted with all his might, and behind him, the soldier who had just woken up from the alarm was running out of the barracks in thin clothes in a daze, and the sound of grace from a distance suddenly made many people raise their heads in confusion, "This is?"
Azbil, the commander of the 27th Infantry Regiment in Gaul, was also among them, he held his head high, and under his gaze he saw a metallic waterfall, which rose rapidly under the rising morning light, an illusion of brilliance, which made everyone's pupils constrict slightly, it was a dazzling beauty! It was the light brought by the arrow cluster in the rapid climbing, crossing a beautiful arc, suddenly downward, "Mom"
Still watching, there was still a hint of intoxicated Gauls just now, looking at the cold light flying from the direction of the black line in the distance, only then did they react, and they quickly fled in all directions in fright, but the dense cluster of arrows covered the overwhelming area "Ah" The Gallic soldiers who were caught off guard were rolling in the rain of arrows, "Damn, what's the situation!" Azbil, the commander of the infantry regiment, hid under the shield provided by the guards, and the falling arrow clusters hit the shield. But the others were not so lucky, and the nearby soldiers were covered in a staggering rain of arrows
The human body was directly shot through the cluster of arrows falling from a height, and most of the soldiers of the Gallic local army were light infantry, only to see a white cold light in the crowd, making a sound similar to the cracking of a melon, with the sharp arrows of the Mitsubishi arrow, from the body of the arrow soldier to the body, in the rear of the bloody blood marks, and then shot heavily into the ground, like a string of blood gourds inserted into the ground. The corpse covered with blood smashed straight on the dry hard ground below, and the bright red human blood instantly stained the ground red, and soaked into the hard soil on the surface.
"Help!" a faint shout came from the tent of the barracks, and the cloth tent of the barracks was also pierced by the falling arrows, and the soldiers inside were killed by the falling arrows before they could figure out the situation.
The screams came to an abrupt end before the third rain of arrows, and the top of the tent was riddled with holes in the cluster of falling arrows. The warm July sun shone in, and the red liquid flowed out of the tent like a stream, and you can imagine the miserable situation inside. Save people, save people!"
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the cluster of life-threatening arrows stopped.
Azbil, whose eyes were bloodshot, pushed away the guards' blockade, and the tragic scene in his eyes came into view. He was stunned for a moment, and the dense clusters of arrows fell all over the corners of the camp, and the corpses were strewn all over the field. The corpses of every soldier were covered with clusters of arrows, the white tail feathers of the arrows trembled slightly in the morning breeze blowing, there were almost no living people around, and the camp of more than 5,000 people could hardly hear any sound, only the wind blew and brought a sound of grace, like a cry rising to the sky.
"Why is this happening!" Azbil's legs were weak, and his knees fell to the ground like a detached knee, as the most prominent unit on the left flank, the 27th Infantry Regiment of Gaul was the first to be baptized by the rebels from the northwest on the opposite side, and the cruelty of the war was like a sharp sword, directly shattering Azbil's confidence and mind in a bloody way,
"Urgent!"
Several Gallic cavalrymen in dark iron armor galloped into the left flank base camp,
The face of the left-wing leader Gleda, who got the report of the attack, did not change in the slightest, but a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, sure enough, is this the bottom line!
"Come, order the Eleventh, Seventeenth, and Nineteenth Infantry Regiments to advance five miles from their present position" Putting down his hand, Gleda swept his gaze over the map on the table, and drew a circle with his pen in the place where the attack had occurred,
Plains of St. Cyrion
It was less than 10 miles from the line of defense of the rebels in the northwest
He used the infantry regiment of the local army to constantly test forward, just to find out where the bottom line of the rebel army in the northwest on the opposite side was, this time on the left flank, Hasenlimpo invested most of the local army, with a total strength of more than 160,000 people, almost half of the strength of the entire campaign,
The general head is in the Gallic military circles with "cold rocks" In the battle of the cliff mountains 2 years ago, Baron Greda, who was only responsible for leading the reinforcements of the local army, unexpectedly used 20,000 local troops who were not strong in combat power to drag the return of the feared Qianyang heavy cavalry under the command of the famous Chinese general Long Yang, and created an excellent opportunity for the Murphy dragon armor cavalry to break through the 80,000 infantry of Longyang head-on, which was a rare time for the Gallic Empire to beat the famous general Long Yang of the Central Belgian Empire to the ground in the past ten years.
If it weren't for some accidents, the enemy general Long Yang escaped, it would have been a great victory for the empire in the history of the Sino-Biya war, but in that battle, the losses of the local army were quite heavy, but the destruction of the four thousand thousand heavy cavalry of the Central Biya Empire was enough to make Baron Greda become a dazzling new general in the imperial military circles, and the limelight even overshadowed the Murphy dragon cavalry who almost caught Long Yang
For the loss of 5,000 people, the commander Greda did not care, if you want to gain, you must have sacrifices, that is, he to the head of the Hasenlan Poti yƬ, strategically, take advantage of the local advantage and quickly need strength, with the entire southern region of Rasti as a bait, constantly attract the main forces of the Northwest rebels to gather, look for fighters, and crush with a thunderous blow, as long as the main force of the Northwest Rebels is annihilated,
The reintegration of the southwest and northwest into the imperial pocket was as simple as a wave of the army, and Hasenrampo appreciated the plan very much, and gave him the left flank of the plan,
This attack was part of the plan, in Gleda's cold and merciless plan. valued. It was the counterattack power that the other party could show in this attack, I really didn't expect that the other party would strike so violently, the infantry regiment of 5,000 people was killed by the opponent with a single blow, more than 3,000 people were killed, and more than 1,000 people were wounded, except for the infantry regiment commander, the middle and lower officers of the entire infantry regiment were almost killed,
The other party just showed it. It's like a random blow,
One of his own infantry regiments is finished, and even if Greda doesn't take the local army seriously, he feels a little worried, the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels is really as good as rumored, and he wants to repeat his old tricks and swallow the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels that Lord Hasenlambo is most worried about, but I am afraid that there will be some difficulties
On the opposite side of the left flank were eight Falcon infantry regiments led by Hukochili. Among them, three infantry flag regiments belonging to the Central Army, one infantry flag regiment from the Guards, and the other four local infantry flag regiments, all in March. The Northwest Infantry recruited in the Northwest Region, in order to strengthen the defense against the left flank, the fat man gave his direct four thousand Sava longbows to Hukochili, after all, only in terms of combat power. Hukochili's side is the lowest,
The four flag regiments from the Northwest Local Army were the biggest weakness of the left flank
These local armies did not experience much of a campaign. Most of the soldiers are also recruits who have just completed their training, and their defense is acceptable, but their offense is insufficient, which is also the original intention of Hukochili to give up his habitual attack posture and rarely adopt defense.
This famous general of the empire is actually very helpless in his heart, the duel between the two giants is likely to hit his defense area with the first punch, "Your Majesty, report from the Admiralty!"
The governor walked into the fat man's room, the fat man's eyes were focused on the map on the wall, through the window next to him, he could see the clear autumn sky, the vast fields were silent, the hot summer had quietly left, and the fields after the farm were left with bare wheat stubble, "Oh, what did Dustronkay say?" The fat man looked up from the map, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired. The navy is already in full swing, all non-combat warships and ships, as well as commercial ships, have been transferred to the transport line, and Lord Statunko's Southern Army and Lord Krolisat's Northwest Army are on their way to transport, and should arrive at Xinhai City in fifteen days!"
Duo Xue raised the report in his hand and responded, no way, the situation on the front line is tense, the generals Hukochili and Salons are in charge of the left and right flank defense lines, and at present, the only one who can help with the dispatch by the fat man's side is the former Speaker Dorok "Fifteen days! We can wait, but I am afraid that the enemy will not wait!" When the fat man heard such a report, he only shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to ask, "When will the Thor, from the Admiralty, arrive?" The report says that it has been shipped, and three hundred Thor, dismantled from the battleship, along with the necessary gunners and shells, are crossing the southwest along the river!"
Duo Xue replied, his eyes were a little solemn and glanced at the fat man, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, throw all the Thor into the left flank at once, what if the other party chooses another direction of attack?" "No way, the troops are insufficient, we can only gamble!"
The fat man patted the map with his hand, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said" This war has gathered an army of 500,000 people on both sides, in the case of complete disadvantage, we can only arrange according to the habits of the Gauls, winged is an urban area, even if the other side attacks it is difficult to open the situation in a short time, the middle line is behind the two wings, either side launched in advance, there will be the possibility of being flanked by the enemy's two wings, the commander of the other side is not a fool, will not choose such a dangerous route in the case of superior forces, only the left wing, whether it is the enemy or me, is the biggest breakthrough, although the two sides are not the main force, but once it breaks out, it will be a never-ending strangulation"Now we can only hope that the other party will go according to our vision!"
The fat man's voice stopped, and he looked out the window, this was a small manor with his back to the outside of the town, because it was not a grain-producing area, so it avoided the catastrophe, the faint fragrance of wild flowers, mixed with the wind, fences, fields, trees, mountains and rivers, presented in front of people, it was a scene that was completely inconsistent with the scene before the great war, only some yellowish dots were dotted between the colors of summer, tell you that autumn has come, the sky is clear and pleasing bright colors, and a few white clouds are floating leisurely," In the name of war, this land has witnessed too many ups and downs, but I don't know if there will be a Falcon Empire among them!" The fat man faintly felt a touch in his heart, sighed deeply, and said, "Many choices, although I don't want to hit myself, but the overstretched troops, the opponent's growing strength, this decisive battle between empires is like walking a tightrope, and the slightest carelessness is to break bones." I imagined that this battle would come, but I didn't expect it to be so hasty!
Duo Ze's face was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the Vechia Falcon, which was known as undefeated in a hundred battles, would also waver.
It seems that the pressure of this war has made the shoulders of the Vechia Falcon a little difficult to bear
After all, he is only a 25-year-old young man, and he chooses to talk to himself in his heart, and at this age, it is the time to enjoy youth and passionate life, and on the shoulders of this somewhat haggard young man is the burden of Ikadivar's revival and the duel of the fates of the two empires......!
