1646 Horizon 1
"My lord, all the roads leading to the inner area are like this, the Praetorian Guards drove the civilians in the southwest and blocked the passages everywhere, the army is hiding behind the civilians and waiting for the opportunity to move, the subordinates are worried that the enemy not only wants to use these civilians to get a chance to recuperate, but will even take advantage of the hesitation of our army to launch a sudden counterattack at a critical moment, and please make a decision immediately!"
Seeing the horse team of the commander of the army, Murphy Obon, a Murphy cavalry squadron leader who was at a loss ran over with an angry face, he was a thin boy with a horse face, aged between eighteen and nineteen, ordinary height, but with long hands and feet, giving people the feeling of agility. Most particularly, a pair of eyes, flexible and shrewd, Murfeo Boone recognized him, the squadron leader of the seventh squadron under his command
Hearing him say this, Murphy Boone looked further into the street, and sure enough, he saw a large number of soldiers dressed in Praetorian Guard uniforms gathering behind these civilians, because of the blockage of the civilians, these Janissaries who had just broken down on the city wall in a mess, got enough rest to fight again, while his own troops had to stop, if they could not open the predicament in front of them, the army fought bloodily, the strong assault, and the siege methods that he had tried his best to lurk, and the morale of the army would be dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the army"These guys are completely rectifying the southwest capital that they have worked so hard to run!" Murphy Boone's body on the war horse trembled slightly, and his five fingers clenched together, the city in front of him was his reliance in the southwest, and a large number of civilians were sandwiched between the two sides,
Just as the officer said, the other party's move made his side completely unretreated, killing and not killing, driving and driving, to be able to block more than 50 roads leading to the inner city, and the number of civilians driven out by the Praetorian Guards was at least more than 100,000 based on the calculation of 2,000 to 5,000 people on each road. This is not just vicious, Algernon Julia, it must be this vicious femme fatale! Murphy Boone gritted his teeth in hatred, and according to the information obtained, it was this woman who arranged the attack on Murphylins' long street.
On the other side of the street, the report of the discovery of the Murphy Boone Battle Banner was also quickly delivered to Stanley Spencer
"What, Murphy Boone is here!"
This famous general who was counting the battle damage in the eastern battlefield, his face was very ugly at the moment, it was really embarrassing, just over 2 hours. The brutal siege battle made his Praetorian Guard under his command suffer heavy losses on the city wall, and the cost of killing more than 6,300 people, coupled with the strong city wall, only blocked the Murphy Dragoon cavalry for two hours, which shows how unfavorable this battle is for his side, Stanley Spencer has to rejoice that he decisively abandoned the city wall, if he continues to defend to the death, even if he fills in another 10,000 people, it will not have a big turn in the tide of the war.
It is really the Murphy dragon armor heavy cavalry, and the combat effectiveness that comes out of the narrow section of the city road is too strong, and the name of Murphy's broken formation is really not blown, and the heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor. Rows of backlogs came over, and the soldiers seemed to be flooded and swept away, as long as the place where the Murphy cavalry horses had trodden, there were almost no wounded soldiers. There were only dead people, and all the Praetorian Guards were frightened by the thunderous attack of the Murphy Dragonarmoured Cavalry.
It's no wonder that even a ruthless character like the famous Zhongbiya general Long Yang suffered a big loss in the hands of Murphy Oone at the beginning, and the entire main formation was almost pierced.
Encountering such a commander with an unusual mind, such a heavy cavalry force that moves like a mountain and moves like thunder, and the spear edge formed by a terrifying immortal general like Murphylins, under guard, there is almost no way to speak except to rely on the desperate blocking of his subordinates, "Your Excellency Stanley, this is a good opportunity for us to win back a game!" A mysterious sneer appeared on the corner of Algernon Julia's mouth next to him. Our army is newly defeated, and morale will inevitably be low, so we should take this opportunity to reinvigorate our morale and lay the foundation for a counterattack from behind!"
"What do you mean by Miss Julia?" Stanley Spencer's face was solemn,
"Your Excellency should order that some of the Southwest Untouchables be driven to the side of the Murphy Army at once!" Algernon Julia chuckled in a cold tone, as if she were telling something that had nothing to do with her
"If Murphy Obuone hesitates, our army can take the opportunity to drive and kill, and break his cavalry, the cavalry loses the queue, that is, the target of the infantry slaughter, our heavy cavalry troops can be divided into multiple echelons to advance externally if necessary, and take advantage of the chaos of Murphy's cavalry to launch a crushing attack! The heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor, once it starts to charge, it is an endless ending, under the hooves of the horse, everything is powder, that is not the enemy and me, what does this woman think, these more than 100,000 civilians in the southwest are directly ignored in this woman's mouth? "Has Lord Stanley relented?"
Algernon Julia seemed to know what Stanley Spencer was thinking, his pretty face was slightly cold, his beautiful eyes were like Shura, the horsewhip in his hand was raised slightly, and he pointed to the street in front of him and said, "I hope you don't forget, if you lose the battle in the southwest, the empire will lose not only the northwest, but the entire western part of the empire, can't you see that you and I are the last people in this land who still have their hearts to the empire."
"But the southwest is not yet ......" Stanley Spencer also wanted to defend a few words, as a famous general, he could raise the butcher knife to the enemy without hesitation, but it was really contrary to the glory of soldiers to kill civilians like this
"Master Stanley, give the order!"
Algernon Julia rode on his horse, interrupted him with a wave of her fair-skinned Qianqian's thin hand, and said in a resolute tone, "We have no choice, the adult's heart is soft, it will only make the empire have to face strong pressure from the entire west at that time, Vekia Falcon plus Murphy Oone, more than 300,000 elite troops eyeing the empire, this will be the most terrifying combination of the empire,
"For the sake of the future and stability of the Empire, as long as I can get rid of one of them, even if I kill all the Southwesterners, I, Algernon Julia, will not frown slightly, because they are already traitors, and if this battle is won, the Empire will posthumously recognize them as free men who resist the rebel Mephio Boone, if this battle is unfavorable. They are the enemies of the Empire! We don't need mercy for our enemies!"
"Well, I hope I didn't make a decision that I regret for the rest of my life!"
Stanley Spencer raised his head to look at the sky, the heavy rain had turned into a light rain, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, the ruthlessness of the woman Algernon Giulia put a lot of pressure on him, but he also had to admit that his rich experience and the decisiveness of this woman were exactly the same as that of Murphyo Boone on the other side, if it was just himself. At this moment, I am afraid that I have been trampled into minced meat by the hooves of the Murphy dragon armor cavalry, and in the face of such a fierce opponent who does not play cards according to common sense, only this woman can still fight against it, and she may really be old! If it was ten years ago, he might have given such an order. "Come, order to drive away the civilians, and all the troops will follow and fight!"
Retract your gaze from the sky. The hesitation and shock in Stanley Spencer's eyes had turned into the Commander's Victory, or, as Algernon Giulia had said, the land had turned its back on the Empire, as it was. His own thought of benevolence killed not only tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, but also the future of the empire.
With the order given, the Janissaries began to drive away the civilians. The whole column of troops followed, "My lord, the enemy has made an unusual move!
Murphy Boone, who received such a report, could hardly believe his eyes. I saw a large number of civilians in the inner city being driven by the sabers and guns of the Praetorian Guards, crying and shouting in a mess, the Praetorian Guards rushed to the rear, whipped with leather whips, stabbed with spears, and slashed with long swords, forcing them to advance, and the military judge who supervised the battle shouted wildly behind them, "If you don't leave, let go of the arrows!" Some civilians stopped slightly, but they were immediately slashed and killed by the Praetorian Guards cavalry without hesitation, and dozens of corpses were scattered all over the ground in an instant. The remaining civilians were frightened and began to move forward again: "What to do?"
The Murphy dragoons blocking the street were at a loss, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, just when they hesitated, the Praetorian Guards who were following behind the civilians suddenly launched an attack and shot! The Praetorian Guard archers launched a projectile from a distance, and the dense clusters of arrows were spread down like a grid, "Advance!" The ground shook with the sound of neat footsteps, and the Praetorian Guard spears in a queue were like rows of gun walls, visible from the inner city, squeezing the civilians blocked in front from behind, and the phalanx composed of shields and spears was like a steel monster devouring flesh and blood, frightening the civilians in front of them to run in a panic, and the civilians quickly broke up the queue of Murphy's cavalry, and the situation was completely chaotic "My lord, our army was attacked by the enemy's heavy cavalry on Avenue Biante, and the third squadron suffered more than half of the casualties, please evacuate!" My lord, there are a large number of enemies on Sbright Street, the 6th Squadron is in a bitter battle, and Captain Amperlock is killed!"
Nearly 100,000 civilians in the southwest capital were driven out, and the black pressure was wriggling like a swarm of ants under the coercion of the Praetorian Guard, and the sound of crying filled the city, which suddenly made Murphy Oone scramble for a while, and the Murphy dragon cavalry looked at their commander with a hesitant face, just when Murphy Oone was still scolding for the other party's despicable and bitter voice, the urgent reports from several battles suddenly made his face change,
The enemy actually disregarded the life and death of civilians, and directly took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack, dozens of streets in the southwest, at this moment, I am afraid that they are already in chaos, and the opponent's move directly hit their own soft underbelly, facing the civilian shield posed by the other party, no matter how they order, they have already stood under the strategy. "Order all troops, according to the shape shì, to decide the mode of battle!"
Murphy Boone's clear voice spread throughout the city, and everyone saw it, and two lines of tears flowed quietly from his face,
The so-called according to the shape shì, autonomous combat, naturally is to let go of the authority, regardless of the civilian life or death, soon there are Murphy cavalry in order to protect themselves, began to attack the civilians crowded in front of them, countless southwest civilians, reduced to the sandwich between the two armies, stepping on the bloody streets, the Murphy army and the Praetorian Guard shouted and hedged up, dense one by one, tragic street fighting, so that a lot of Murphy cavalry came down from the horses, holding shields and cavalry heavy swords to meet the Praetorian Guard,
"Kill!" The two sides fought side by side in the street battle in the way of infantry, the front and back rows collided next to each other, countless sharp weapons were slashing and killing, the two sides of the fierce battle gritted their teeth, bleeding profusely, there were swords and swords everywhere, narrow streets, and the human body was soon built up, and the two sides stepped on the human bodies of the wounded and dead to continue fighting.
"My lord, the 5th Infantry Regiment collapsed, and the commander Viscount Andro died in battle"
"The eighth pikemen infantry is all killed!
Stanley Spencer sat on the steps of a mansion gate, listening to the reports of battle damage with a blank face, since it was launched, there was no room for retreat, before the heavy cavalry launched the final blow, the infantry would become a tool to consume the enemy, war, has always been a game for the ruthless.
The fresh forces of both sides were sent one after another, the Praetorian Guards relied on the large number of people, and the heavy armor of the Murphy dragon cavalry, like a rock in the torrent in the chaotic battle, forcibly scattered the Praetorian Guards one line after another, and the streets below were densely crowded with soldiers on both sides, so that the Praetorian Guard archers standing on the high places did not even have to aim, but just shot, shoot, and shoot below, row after row of archers took turns to shoot intensively. Thousands of strong bows squeaked into a full moon, and the arrows rained down on the heads of the heavily armored Murphy Legion like a continuous torrential rain.
The armor of the Murphy Dragoon cavalry had been torn in close combat, covered by a rain of arrows. Casualties continued to occur, and the same countless Praetorian Guard soldiers were killed by bows and arrows, and the corpses formed a small hill on the line of assault on both sides, a team. A regiment was intended, but the order from above was still a breakthrough,
"What bullshit command up there. I can't fight anymore if I don't take human lives seriously!"
The Praetorian Guard officers, covered in blood and furious, retreated from the front, facing more casualties than they had expected. The officers were already complaining, why did they not use the heavy cavalry, especially the order issued from above to advance desperately and not retreat, which pushed all the infantry into a desperate battle, although it was a street battle, but the opponent's Murphy dragon cavalry were all heavily armored, and the heavy armored troops in the Praetorian Guard were not even half, not to mention the fierce battle from the morning to the afternoon, the body was extremely tired,
More than half of the troops were withdrawn to regroup, but some of the scattered teams could no longer be regrouped, most of their commanders had been killed, a few middle and lower-level officers were sitting against the wall, their eyes were full of sluggishness, they were more or less wounded, the city street fighting was always fierce, the streets were full of corpses, first civilians, then soldiers on both sides, the streets of the southwestern capital were completely flooded with blood, the red rain flowed down the ditches on both sides, the streets were captured by the Murphy army for a while, and then taken back by the Praetorian Guards,
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides had exhausted themselves from fighting, and the streets had changed hands countless times...... The ears of the soldiers on both sides were buzzing, and there was screams and curses everywhere, and the Praetorian Guards soldiers shouted "Rebels, die!" and then there was the thrashing of weapons, sparks flying, and the wounded moaning.
"Kill!" There was a weak sound of fighting, and the soldiers' eyes were full of blood, just like Shura in hell, the surroundings were like hell, and the ground under their feet was slippery and greasy, which was the human body and Rui meat that they were stepping on, I don't know if it was their own people or the other party's, and the thick smell of blood choked their noses.
The Murphy army's battle losses were just as miserable, the spears were discounted, the blades of the swords were blunted, and the shields were bent! The Murphy dragon armor soldiers who shot like hedgehogs all over their bodies still wanted to pounce on and bite the enemy's throat, this is not bravery, but a conditioned reflex, anyone in that environment, the only thing they can think about is to kill the enemy, do their best, do their best,
In the inner city, a large number of wounded soldiers were pulled down by a carriage and a carriage,
"Assemble, everyone, is there anything else that can move?"
A group of cavalry escorted the leader of the Praetorian Guard,
The senior team leaders who are forming the team have ignored the complaints of the officers, there are too many dead, and none of the teams is complete,,
"It's time to strike!" Algernon Giulia has been trying to keep it cold, but in fact, it is also a speculation in his heart, in just half a day, more than 20,000 casualties, the Imperial Guard has not fought such a tragic war for half a century,
This invincible force that once swept through the Obaro began to show its true strength before the mass death of the war,
The sun rose from the east to the center, and then fell from the center to the west, and the armies of the two sides fought like two giants, fighting to the death with the last of their strength, panting and scarred.
After really letting go of a qiē, Stanley Spencer's table xiàn is more in line with the standard of a general of the unified army,
With a grim face, he gave seemingly ruthless orders one after another, which were properly arranged and almost unmistakable, maximizing the combat power of the troops
After hearing the sound of Algernon Julia being able to attack, he stopped giving orders, raised his head with great heaviness to look at the sky where the rain had stopped, and raised his hand, "Heavy cavalry assemble!"
The 10,000 Janissaries heavy cavalry were all dressed in Praetorian Guard cross armor, and behind them were wings spread out to both sides, with cloud-like spears on their heads.
A procession of fifty heavy cavalry, a procession passed in front of Stanley Spencer's eyes,
The sky had slowly darkened, and the cavalry's winged armor shot out a bewitching light, and a bloody wind gently brought up the bloody red tassels on the heads of the Praetorian Cavalry, and the queue was solemn.
Stanley Spencer suddenly raised his hand and pressed it down hard, and the cavalry let out a deafening roar, "Glory to the Empire!"
War horses are like thunder, like a storm after a summer night rain, and the whistling horse's hooves step into the bloody streets (to be continued......
