2185 Eye of the Storm (4)
The news that the Central European and Baro coalition forces were going to evacuate had already spread throughout the barracks when the meeting ended in the second half of the night: "Is it true? We are going back!" "Long live, this is the wisest decision made by His Majesty the King in his life!"
The Central European and Baro coalition forces set up camp in the snowy night, the soldiers were ready to go as fast as possible, lined up and ready to go, their excited faces were red by torches, and the cheers from many camps made the nearby Rela camp even more cold.
In the dark night, the snow fell on the shoulders and made a rustling sound, except for a small number of sentinels, the other Rayla soldiers walked out, they were also happy when they heard that the coalition forces were going to evacuate, but then the news that Rayla did not withdraw, one by one was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and there was no spirit at once, although he claimed to be a descendant of heroes, and he instilled a patient character since he was a child, but the dejected expression was inevitably written on the face of every soldier, many people stood in the wooden fence covered with snow, and watched the other soldiers withdraw with eager eyes, and the torches of the coalition brigade lit up most of the sky, and the long torches were like a long dragon winding, full of white and white at the end of the night.
At the same time, the horse's hooves raised the snow on the ground, and a Fishan light horse scout ignored the scorching cold of the winter night in the Bavaried region of more than ten degrees below zero, and in the dark night, he rode his horse and galloped more than 20 miles into the headquarters of the legion. The area of the rock fort is not large, the iron barricade is hastily hoisted, there is a moat outside, the length and width are only 100 meters, it is completely constructed of solid mountain rock, revealing a blue-black in the dark night, the town below the fortress has already been covered with dense Fishan army camp, looking from afar. Like a huge bat with its wings outstretched,
This small stone fort, if placed on the inland plain, is at most the home of a nobleman of a middle kingdom, but in the barren Bavaried region, this small stone fort built on the mountain range is of great significance, because looking down from this ancient castle, it is like a pair of huge eyes, overlooking the entire Bavaried region, and the defensive wall extending from this ancient castle stretches for more than thirty miles. Like a huge arm dividing this wild land in two, this is the famous Marteg Line,
The small stone fort is located at an important node of this defense line, because of the existence of this defense line, the west of the Fishan Kingdom has not fought for decades, and the Sixth Army of the Fishan Kingdom is stationed here, as the main opponent of the Central European Barrow Alliance, with a full infantry corps of 60,000 people, which can be ranked in the ranks of the main army of the Fishan army. In fact, at the beginning of the military plan, what was placed here was a temporarily deployed miscellaneous army of the Fishan Kingdom, "A group of wall grass, there is no need to use the most elite troops of the empire!" The combat staff of the Fishan Military Department submitted the plan. Requesting that the limited main force of the kingdom be transferred to the front of the Falcon Emperor**, the Ministry of Military Affairs of Fishan believes that there are only two countries that can really fight in the Central European Barrow countries, one is Rayla, who is like the gateway to Central Europe and Barrow, in the fierce war between the two major forces of the East and the West for a hundred years. has developed a style of being able to endure and fight, especially this generation of King Rayla, Ovit, is definitely a figure who can be called a generation of heroes, if it weren't for the fateful nemesis Falcon Empire. If it weren't for the Hungarian cavalry who lost the country's vitality, Rela would definitely be the country that was most likely to ascend to the foundation of the empire in the Central European Baro region in a hundred years, "The other is the Hungarian people who almost swept the Central European Baro, longbow and fast horses, fierce and good at fighting, except for the discipline almost, every Hungarian man is a natural warrior, such a country, if it wasn't for my Fersan who preemptively laid down the Bavaried moat, whether I Fishan can still save zĂ i is a question" Although they were enemies, the staff officers of the Faysan Military Department still expressed their appreciation for the Ryla and the Huns, but when it came to other countries, it was another tone: "Such as Silas, Wall, Luccas, etc., the national strength is weak, it is not easy to fight, and it has always been an element of the wall, it is impossible to help the Falcon Emperor** Fighting to the death, this time the Rela Kingdom sent only 5,000 troops, and the 10,000 Huns are limited and unfavorable cavalry in the Bavaried region, excluding these factors, such a coalition army has almost no pressure on Fei Shan, there is no need to put a main army that is good at attacking here, a miscellaneous army is already very worthy of them!"
Holding this plan of the Ministry of War, King Faisan smiled disapprovingly, and teased, "Even if it is some small miscellaneous fish, we need to put up a twelve-point mind, just arrange the Sixth Legion, I need a sword that can pierce the throat of the enemies of the kingdom at a critical moment!"
King Fesan modified the plan with his boss's ability, on the one hand, he had high hopes for the Sixth Legion, and on the other hand, he also placed a cavalry regiment of the kingdom in the rear of the Sixth Legion seemingly inadvertently. It is a very effective tactic to use the enemy's weak point as an assault port, but using the Central European and Barro countries as a breakthrough point has really little impact on the Falcon Army!" "The staff officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs also have a hard time, the location of the Central European Baro Alliance is located on the flank of the main force of the Emperor, in terms of strategic position, if you can defeat the Central European Baro Alliance, you can condescendingly encircle the Falcon Emperor, but the commander of the Falcon Emperor is a refined guy,
It seems that the flaw is to place the weak Central European Baro Coalition Army on the flank, but on the other side of the Central European Baro Alliance, it is the sharp scimitar of the 100,000 steppe cavalry deployed, if the Fishan army breaks through the defense line of the Central Europe Baro Alliance, the hooves of the 100,000 steppe cavalry will step on the incoming Fishan army to pieces as soon as possible, is it such an obvious trap, His Majesty the King can't see it? The staff officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs don't have the courage to speak out, and if anyone says it, isn't it tantamount to saying that His Majesty the King is too old and faint to see the situation clearly?
Since it was arranged by His Majesty, then let it be arranged like this! There are few fools who can enter the Ministry of Military Affairs, anyway, according to the combat strength of the Sixth Army, it is more than enough to defend the Little Stone Fort, and the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, Kiluntar, is a very courageous member of Fei Shan's army, and the troops under his command have always been border guards stationed on the Eastern Front. The combat power is excellent, the weapons and equipment are also given priority supply, and it is also one of the few troops in the country that has really been on the bloody battlefield in the past ten years, when the Iraqi invaded the Eastern Province, the Sixth Army once gave it a head-on blow, slowing down the offensive of the Iraqi army for half a month, although finally forced to evacuate because of the needs of the war, but in that case, no one has a better choice!
Ever since it began to snow in the sky, Fessan's Sixth Army gave the order to go into battle. Fei Shan's scout jumped down from the war horse in a snowstorm, and immediately someone took the war horse, handed over a cup of hot ale, the scout unceremoniously took the ale and poured a few sips, took out a report from the intimate position and handed it to an officer, "Report it, the Central European Baro coalition has begun to evacuate, and we also found that those steppe cavalry are also cleaning up the camp, and it seems that there are signs of wanting to evacuate"
The scout's voice paused, and it seemed that the hot wine he had just drunk had done his job. The voice also had a little more strength, and his hands wiped his cold red face, which was a sigh of relief
The officer laughed, "No wonder it's so, it's snowing heavily." The ground is harder than iron, not to mention the withered grass, even the grass seeds can't be eaten, and the grassland people have hundreds of thousands of war horses. The amount of forage eaten every day is an astronomical amount, where can I still stay, let's see. If you don't retreat to the back, these horses will starve to death in less than a week!" "Yes, it's still a well-informed adult!" The soldiers nearby laughed one by one,
"Is it the movement of the Central European Baro Alliance? Give it to me!" A middle-aged man like General Fei Shan heard the voice, and walked out of the inner fort in the center of the stone fort, and when he heard the officer's words, his cold face suddenly showed a touch of joy, and it was really moved, the Central European and Baro countries have nothing to fear, what they really need to pay attention to is actually the 100,000 steppe cavalry of the empire, these steppe cavalry are a worm in the Bavaried region, but once they cross this barrier, they are the vigorous vertical and horizontal iron cavalry,
"General, this is the latest report" The officer with the text in his hand hurriedly stood up and saluted, and with an excited expression, he handed over the report with the residual warmth of the scout's chest, and the person who came was the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Kingdom, Kirenthal, the direct commander of this defense area, "Is it the latest!" Kirenthal opened the report, his eyes swept over, his eyes under his strong eyebrows lit up terrifyingly, and he took a deep breath before closing the report in his hand
"Report this situation to the base camp immediately! Order all combat regiments, from the generals to the soldiers, to sleep in armor and clothes" "Yes, understand!" The officer took the report with an excited expression, and couldn't help but think of various speculations in his mind that the Sixth Legion was transferred here, and His Majesty's personal action made many people have the feeling that at a certain moment, the Sixth Legion would launch a counterattack against the Falcon Emperor ** as an assault front.
It's just that the whole military department doesn't agree with this idea, how can they fight back? 100,000 steppe cavalry are pressed on their heads, who dares to fight back! Although the cavalry in Bavaried's winter combat is very unfavorable, the frozen ground is easy to make the war horse slip, but if the other party is in a defensive position, it is another matter, even if the Central European Barro coalition is unbearable, it is tens of thousands of soldiers, not a battle that can be solved in just one or two hours, once a large number of steppe cavalry gallop to rescue, the possibility of being attacked by the enemy is 100%, under the hooves of the steppe cavalry, the infantry is reduced to the target of slaughter
But in the Sixth Army, everyone still hopes to give such an opportunity, as a soldier, to be able to be strong and persistent on the battlefield, such a national fortune war, to take the lead in such a national war, to overcome obstacles for the army, thinking about it makes people feel blood boiling, feel that this life is worthwhile,
It's just that this idea is very good, as the war drags on repeatedly, the blood in my heart has cooled down a lot, and it is okay to guard my own place, but at this moment, it seems that this impossibility has become possible all at once!
The Central European and Barro countries have withdrawn, the steppe cavalry has withdrawn, and the hundreds of thousands of Falcon Empire infantry left alone will also become more difficult because of the severe cold climate caused by the heavy snow, although the Falcon Army is good at fighting, but in the case of being plagued by the cold, facing nearly three times as many enemies, it can only be routed, come on, let this snow come bigger, and turn it into a blizzard!" The officer put the report on his hot chest again, mounted his war horse, and galloped out of the small stone fort, heading towards the rear base camp. There was a roar of wind and snow behind him
The emperor ** is in a worrying situation, and this has become something that everyone can see
Day 5. With the withdrawal of the Central European Barrow Alliance, and then, the cavalry of the Eastern and Western Courts in the Falcon Emperor ** also began to withdraw from the battlefield, and his eyes swept over the three-star Huiyue Banner of the steppe people who were slowly retreating in the distance, and the hand of the Governor of the Southern Empire Varisian couldn't help but tighten, and his eyes swept over the snow-white earth in front of him, and he couldn't figure out how the situation of this war had become like this just because of a snow, which was originally a good situation of 300,000 against 300,000. All at once it became 140,000 to 300,000, and the huge disparity in troops, and the growing logistical difficulties, all seemed to converge into one voice, "Withdraw!" But without the order of His Majesty, who would dare to make the decision to evacuate in such a big battle!"
Varisien's gaze was looking for something not far away, Berlant Bonnie, the favorite disciple and lover of His Majesty the Emperor, and the commander of the Northern Legion of the Empire. Although it seems that he is inferior to himself as the commander of the legion and the governor of the region in terms of title, in fact, the affairs of Gangfei and the north are basically the final words of this woman. A veritable uncrowned governor, and even more favored by His Majesty the Emperor, even if they are included in the princesses with their own deep backgrounds, they can definitely be ranked among the ranks of the real power
Everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope. At such a time, the person who dares to give such an order may be the only one who dares to give such a knight. It's a pity that Varisien struggled to look for a while among the generals attending the meeting, but he didn't see the female knight
On behalf of the Gangfei Northern Legion attending the meeting was the deputy corps commander Reposti, this fox-like guy with the name of a wise general, his expression at the moment was calm and surprising, holding the hot water cup in his hand, blowing leisurely, as if he was not sitting in the military tent where the army gathered, but leaning on the window of the pastoral house to enjoy the wheat waves in the field, very leisurely, seeing himself looking at him, he even smiled at himself, when was it, and laughed out! This woman is a freak, and the generals below the guide also have signs of freaks, and you Reposti can be regarded as a famous general in the world, and how many life and death battles have you experienced, don't you know how to persuade your boss to let her say a word for so many people?
With a deep sigh, Varisian, who hated iron and steel, turned his eyes and began to discuss the new troop movement, this time, Orela King Ovit also participated, sitting in the left column, the left leader of the Hungarian left Meganro sat in the right column very consciously, Ovit looked at Meganro's eyes were bloodshot, Meganro simply ignored the Rayla people, his eyes stared directly at the top of the big tent, it seemed that there was a peerless beauty dancing anywhere, looking at these two people, the corners of Varisian's mouth couldn't help but glance slightly, what kind of situation is this,
The panicked 100,000 imperial army is also matched with a pair of life-and-death enemies, I really suspect that if it weren't for the situation, the soldiers of the two countries would fight first.
The main force of the 300,000 Fei Shan army on the opposite side may pull out the butcher's knife at any time, how can this battle be fought! The meeting was very dull, and now it is basically the way to shrink the front, and Varisian has no good way, so he can only let the troops abandon the left flank that originally belonged to the coalition army and thicken the defense line of the current emperor...... During a break in the meeting, Varisian couldn't help but pull Reposti aside,
Looking at Reposti, who still looked like an old god, Varisien finally became angry, "Dude, what the hell are you planning to do to really leave the Gangfei Northern Legion that you have built up with great difficulty here?" Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, you and I know very well that Fei Shan's army is ready to go, and now it's just waiting for the steppe cavalry to settle down, and it will attack us, my Gangfei Southern Army is okay to say, the garrisoned area is close to the rear, at most it is to retreat to the city behind to hold on, I believe that Fei Shan's army will not have the heart to fight all the way to the end, you Gangfei Northern Army is different, top on the flank of the most likely problem, Fei Shan's army will inevitably take you as the focus of the attack!"
"Don't say brother didn't remind!"
Varisien's tone was aggravated, and he looked left and right, before he whispered, "I know that you are bent on seizing the opportunity to make the signboard of the Gangfei Northern Legion, but in the current situation, every step may be a tightrope, and you must withdraw when you should retreat, anyway, your face is big, and in the current dangerous situation, even Your Majesty will not necessarily punish her!"
"May I think that this is a sign that Lord Varisian agrees with the early withdrawal of our troops?" Reposti rolled his eyes and looked at him with a smile on his face, "I didn't say anything like that! I'm just kindly reminding you that you need to pay attention to your situation!" Varisian made a straight face, who would dare to admit such a thing!" Miss Berlant has been away from the barracks for two days, and the Legion Commander is not here, and there is nothing I can do!" Reposti sighed, and finally said something human, "Miss Berlant is not in the barracks!" Varisien's face changed as soon as he brushed it, this woman is crazy, the big war is imminent, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are hanging around their necks, and they dare to go missing!" "Miss went to the camp of the Third Banner Regiment of the Guards, and then the Third Banner Regiment soon sent someone to say that Miss will not come back for the time being, let us pay attention to ourselves!" Reposti's face was a little unnatural, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but endured it, glanced at the depressed Varisien, and said, "Do you know who came to deliver the message?" "The Third Banner Regiment of the Guards ...... Don't sue me for me, it's Kenneth, the head of the banner!" Varisian blinked and replied, "How do you know!" Reposti looked stunned,
"It's Kenneth!" But the person who was more surprised than him was Varisian, he just said casually, can roll from 10,000 people to their status, sure enough, none of them are simple, and it may not be useful to engage in politics, but an excellent soldier's sensitivity to changes in things is innate, Kenneth, the commander of the Third Banner of the Guards, did not come to the meeting, and Reposti's heart couldn't help but be vulgar, so he casually said that it was Kenneth, who knew that it was right, Berrant Bonnie went to the Third Banner Regiment of the Guards, and Kenneth, the commander of the Third Banner, personally went to the Northern Army of Gangfei to pass the word, Nima, the information contained here made Varisien's heart suddenly tangled, It won't be His Majesty who has arrived at the Third Banner Regiment of the Guards, otherwise the arrogance of the Imperial Guards will not be commanded by ordinary people at all.
Now he finally knows why Reposti has a fearless attitude, His Majesty has arrived, what are he still worried about here!(To be continued......)
