781 Dorok Offensive (VIII)
Baozi sincerely thanks: the stinky boy and the silly girl rewarded 1764 coins, and Birdcheng rewarded 100 coins;
North of Dorok, the city of Bosla
This small city, located in the middle of the densest mountainous area in the north of Dorok, is very characteristic. (Read Novel.com!) Surrounded by majestic mountains with withered leaves, the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the land is sometimes high and sometimes low, only a white mist can be seen, the mountains are high and dense, the roads are difficult to pass, and the red limestone exposed to the ground constitutes a very unique appearance of the whole city of Boslae, which can be seen from a long distance, but without the guidance of an insider, the undulating mountains will make most people who enter the mountains for the first time lose their way
The 20,000 troops of the Byrne clan, the second largest clan in the north of Dorok, are concentrated here, ready to resist the attack from the Falcon King's army according to the mountain terrain, everyone knows that the Falcon army has the first ability to attack the mainland, although it has the natural advantage of the formation of the mountain, the Bernese clan does not dare to take anything lightly, countless small wooden guard towers form a strong defense line on the top of the mountain, like a whole row of giants standing on the top of the mountain,
The patriarch of the Bournes, Bernslan, and several leaders of the clan also gathered here at this moment, discussing what to do, and the atmosphere in the room was quite low from the beginning,
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Bernsland's anxious gaze swept over, several leaders lowered their heads one after another, the news that the Vekia Falcon Battle Banner appeared in Islay City, like an earthquake, completely messed up the Dorok Council army outside Islay City, because the appearance of the Vikia Falcon means that the main force of the Falcon Dynasty is likely to have entered the Dorok Mountains,
This war to encircle Eyre has turned into a war between the Dorok people and the Falcon Dynasty, the most powerful kingdom on the continent, which is simply an unwarranted disaster for the Dorok people with a total strength of only 120,000 people.
It is said that on the day when the Falcon Battle Banner appeared in Eyrey, the 60,000 Dorok coalition troops outside the city of Eyre were arguing about whether to withdraw immediately, and now the coalition army is already difficult to protect itself, and there is still strength to rescue itself
In front of the tribe, is the continent's most powerful kingdom of 30,000 elites, like a guillotine that may fall at any time, so that the limited strength of the Bernese tribe is completely nailed to the defense line of the Bosley Mountains, in the west of the tribe, the army of the feuding Vedas, is aggressively approaching the center of the territory, if it is not for the retreat, the Bernese may have chosen to migrate to the deep mountains and fight on two fronts, which is not something that a second-rate tribe like the Bernese can bear,
"My lord, we should evacuate immediately, or we Bournes will be completely wiped out of the Dorok Mountains!" said one of the clan leaders, his tone very pessimistic, and he had just slapped the table because of a heated argument with several other leaders over the question of whether to stay or not.
"Evacuate, who wouldn't? The question is where to evacuate?" said another tall leader coldly. Every word he says has to drag on for a long time, as if only then will others care about his identity,
However, who cares about the identity of the other place at this time of burning eyebrows? The 30,000 troops of the Falcon Dynasty, which is less than ten kilometers away from them, have been constantly mobilizing their forces recently, and they may break through the defensive line at any time. At this point, everyone here wants to be able to make a decision as much as possible.
Evacuate, of course, is the most ideal, but in which direction to evacuate? Bernsland slapped his palm heavily on the table, and pointed to the map on it and said, "To the east, is the steppe of the Dongting people, although we used to have a good relationship with the Dongting people, but now there is a war there, and the cavalry of the West Kugit people has cut off the road to the east,...,
To the north are the frozen mountains of the mountains, and without the slightest preparation, our people are afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive this cruel winter......
As for the help of the Parliament, it is simply impossible to rely on the improvised army to fight against the main forces under the personal command of Vekia Falcon. Even the former overlord of the continent, Rui Erdian, did not dare to fight with the Falcon Dynasty Army in the mountains. Even such a powerful Ryordian has been wiped out, what is the Dorok Council?
To the west, there is the area controlled by the Vedas, who have built a strong blockade on the border, using the canyons and mountains as support points, which may appear behind us at any time, and only to the south.
"To the south?" Several tribal leaders had strange faces, to the south, yes. The determined look on Bernsland's face showed that the leaders had heard correctly, that it was the only way out for the Bernes. But the south is also the blockade of the Falcon Dynasty,
Do you want to forcibly attack the blockade line of the Falcon Dynasty? Thinking about the Falcon Dynasty's long-range attack capability of the Megatron Continent, this bold idea looks like a kind of suicide no matter how you look at it, and no one dares to express its position, and this time it is the fate of more than 100,000 people of the Bourne clan who are on the line
Bernsland smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his outstretched finger drew a narrow exit on the map, explaining, "Due to time, the Falcon Dynasty army has not yet had time to set up a tight blockade in the southern part of the mountain range. As long as we act in time, the Byrnes still have a chance to get out of the encirclement.
Of course, there are dangers on this road, and it depends on luck. With a bit of luck, we'll be able to traverse the forested terrain and cross the Husa Mountain Path into the reach of the Dorok Council, and rush out of the flanked Jedi to wait for a chance to regain our strength
"Yes, why didn't I think of it!" the faces of several tribal leaders were filled with joy, Bernsland's words undoubtedly solved the big problem at hand,
But instead of being a little relaxed, Bernsland's face paused, and he said with a solemn face, "Have you ever thought about it, the biggest problem in breaking through to the south is not to run into the Falcon army, but to lose our territory and personnel, will we still be welcomed by the Dorok Council?"
The Bernese have no power to protect themselves. Is it still qualified to enter the Dorok Council? This answer is obvious, without the territory and army, our Bernese clan will be divided internally, and will soon be annexed by the various tribes in the south, even if the Dorok Council comes forward, it will not be able to stop this situation, in the final analysis, Dorok is still a social system of the jungle after all, no one will look at the big cake of more than 100,000 people and be indifferent, those guys who sing high-profile songs in their mouths, I am afraid that they will just wait for us to pass!"
The laughter of the clan leaders stopped abruptly, and the smiles on their faces froze for a moment, and Bernsland's words were tantamount to giving them hope for life, and then slamming them to the bottom of despair
"This is not good, that is not good, are we just waiting for death? No matter what decision is made, I can't stay here! You don't go! I'll take my own people away!" A grumpy leader finally couldn't help but stand up, and impatiently slammed his chair on the ground,
"Berndonsue, impulsiveness can't solve the problem! The flying mountain eagle must also see the front clearly, so as not to hit the top of the mountain in the fog" Bernsland quickly stood up and stopped him, this Berndonsu is his nephew, and he is also the patriarch of a large branch of the clan, and there are more than 30,000 clansmen below, ranking second among the Bernese clan, second only to the Bernesian clan
Burnton Sue pushed away the hand blocking in front of him, walked to the door, turned around, swept his eyes over the people who had not yet reacted, and said sharply, "The Falcon Army will soon form a situation of encirclement, you are still grinding here, still looking ahead, still thinking about the layout, how to have a chance to make a comeback, it is really a fool's dream, regardless of reality." What is most needed now is to make a decision immediately, not to discuss, since there is no way to live, it is better to fight hard! If you are all afraid, then let the warriors of my clan fight a bloody road in the south!"...,
After saying this, Bernese hurried away, and the other leaders looked at each other silently, feeling that what Bernton Sue said made sense, and felt that Bernesland was too old, and his courage and decisiveness at the beginning had been exhausted by the years, and now he was no different from an old-fashioned old man.
Watching the clan leaders leave one after another, Bernsland's mouth opened, but in the end he didn't speak,
"My lord, shall we also go back and gather the people at once?"
Several clansmen around him asked nervously, since the Falcon Dynasty army cut off its connection with the council, there have been two factions within the Bernes clan, one is the diehard faction led by Bernesland, who believes that as long as they can hold it, they will be able to survive this crisis,
The other faction is the new faction like the Bernesland Sue who just left, most of them are young and vigorous young people, dissatisfied with Bernsland's rigid defensive tactics, and advocate that they should take the initiative to seek fighters, but because of Bernsland's suppression, they have not been dominant
However, as the battle situation became more and more unfavorable for the stubborn tactics, many people who were originally on the stubborn side turned to the new faction that demanded the initiative to attack, which was also the most worrying point for the old and serious Bernsland
, These young people who think very highly of themselves have not yet experienced the training of war, and they don't know that the Bernese clan is even a second-rate tribe in the entire continent, and it is a big joke to fight against the Falcon Dynasty, a powerful country on the mainland
Seeing all the patriarchs leave, Bernsland turned his head to the people next to him and said, "Inform the whole clan, and we will leave immediately!"
A hasty escape may be despised by many clansmen, and may be ridiculed by other leaders. But Bernsland doesn't care, he is used to seeing the world, he believes that he stays in the green mountains, he is not afraid of no firewood, in front of the huge Falcon Dynasty army, the Byrnes clan is already in a collapse, rather than waiting for the day when it is defeated and destroyed, it is better to find another way out!"
As the Vedas crossed the border, Caesar Sauron's Ebyron Corps on the front of the Byrnes began to tighten their fronts, tightening the pockets of the Boslay side, and the pace of the Byrnes' southward march was accelerating, and a long-anticipated battle began in a village called Sharonte
It was a sunny morning, the early winter sun shone on the human body warm, Caesar Solon looked at the white clouds in the sky fluttering slightly, under the influence of the early winter cold, the mountain flowers in nature have withered, under the clouds of November, the damp woods are silent, the wind blows, there is a whirring whimper, as if crying quietly,
In the depths of the woods, a lonely woodpecker stood on the bare branches, calling gently and timidly, and it also felt that winter was coming, and after the heavy snow closed the mountains, it would turn into a silvery world, and in the light sandy mist, the bells of the sheep could be heard in the distance, whimpering, as if from the depths of their hearts......
"It's such a leisurely day!" Caesar Sauron stretched his waist, saw a lot of blood and war, such a peaceful day has not remembered how long he has not seen it, to wait for work, lead the snake out of the hole, the fat man left eight words when he left, so that Caesar Sauron can see the form in front of him clearly, it is better to leave an obvious gap, as long as the attack of the Vedic tribe is launched, and the Bernese tribe who find themselves in a situation of being attacked on both sides will definitely choose to take a risk to go south, and when the time comes, as long as they calmly wait in the gap,
"Bang bang" Adjutant Si'an Dikaru knocked on the door behind him and hurriedly walked in, "My lord, this is the news from the guard tower of Mount Anto this morning, the Bourne army stationed in Boslai is moving frequently, it should be a sign that it is forced by the offensive of the Vedic tribes and is about to move south!"
"Oh, it's finally moving!" Caesar Sauron's mouth grinned, in the battle to the south, his own Alberon army did not participate in the battle, it was a great pity, and now he finally waited for a battle that was enough to boast of,...,
On November 25, no one realized that a huge trap had arisen that threatened to wipe out the entire Byrne army. At first, the Bernese army, who were familiar with the terrain, tried to bypass the Falcon army's defensive line, but the scout in charge of the advance reported that the same continuous defensive arrow towers appeared on the left and right sides, and the Falcon army was heavily guarded, and it was impossible to find a gap to leave.
Such a report made Bernton Sue, who led the army forward, feel a little happy, although he was arrogant, but he was not stupid. To deploy such a large line of defense in depth, a huge number of troops are required. It should be enough to consume the Falcon army with limited strength, no matter how good the Falcon army is, it would never have thought that the suppressed and immobile Bernese would take the initiative to attack, as long as they concentrated their strength and attacked with all their strength, it was completely possible to kill them out of this encirclement
Unfortunately, he didn't know that his every move had long been under the surveillance of the Falcon Army, and at the top of every hill they passed, a tree of special significance was knocked down.
The hilltop sentinels in charge of observation constantly reported new situations to the main force of the soon-to-be-launched legion, connecting all the dots, and the route of the Bernes southward appeared clearly on Caesar Sauron's map
"Order, Affinkett's squadron, start executing the plan!" Caesar Sauron stood up from the resting rock, handed the map in his hand to the adjutant next to him, behind him, the main force of the 15,000-strong legion was quietly ambushing the east of Sharonte, like two huge iron pincers, from the east and west, cutting the Byrnes southward path in two
"Speed up, at noon today, you must pass Guò Charente" At a distance of 10 miles from Charente, Bernton Sue waved his horsewhip and shouted, and the 20,000 troops heading south were also led by him, rushing towards the gap in Sharonte,
At noon of the "attack", the battle began to start in Sharonte, and under the sun, the spearmen of the Bernese tribe pounced on the way of life in their eyes with overwhelming momentum, Sharonte,.
For defensive purposes, the 3rd Squadron, which served as the decoy, built a row of earthen walls about three meters high on the slope east of Sharonte, and the five hundred Vekia crossbowmen hiding on it shot outwards in a half-crouching position.
With the sound of bowstrings as tight as a torrential rain, black arrows struck the air like locusts on the horizon, arcing like black clouds in the air and shooting into the ranks of the Bourne spearmen
"Ahh
"There are not many of them! take down the earthen wall with all their might!" Realizing that he was facing only a squadron of enemies, Berndon Sue took the lead excitedly, and without hesitating the arrows that whizzed from his side, he led the hundreds of Dorok lancers behind him to charge in the direction of the earthen wall
Inspired by him, the Bernese followed like a swarm of locusts, and the crossbow arrows from the opposite side kept shooting them to the ground, but after all, the number was too small to form enough lethality for the attacking army of tens of thousands of people
"Kill!"
After paying more than a thousand lives, the dense flow of people quickly collapsed the wooden fences on the perimeter and climbed the low city wall with a scream. Because the earthen wall was less than three men high, some of the anxious Bernes, who did not even need to build a siege ladder, climbed on the shoulders of their companions and leaped so hard that their hands could grasp the edge of the battlements, and they had to climb upwards with all their strength.
"Kill!" the falcon army on the earthen wall shouted unflinchingly, slashing down with their swords raised, followed by a scream, and the Byrne soldier fell off in pain, leaving half a palm or a few fingers wriggling on the battlements. ...,
"Attack!" Behind the infantry charge, 2,000 Bourne archers fired arrows, which rained down on the earthen walls, and soldiers on both sides fell in a rain of arrows.
Bernsuton tried to use his strong forces to suppress the earthen wall defenders with bows and arrows to clear the way for the advance of his infantry, but found that his own men seemed to be wounded more, and quickly roared to stop the archers: "Stop shooting! All bows and arrows, no shooting!"
At this moment, a huge black cloud covered the sky, countless sharp and piercing sounds hit like a wave, and the heavens and the earth were filled with terrible shocking sounds, and the boulders and arrows as dense as raindrops once again violently bombarded the sea of people on the periphery of the earthen wall.
Like waves crashing against the hard rock wall, turning into a terrifying splash of bright red, the sound of "puff puff" sharp weapons piercing in* and broken bones in the rain one after another, this is the waves of flesh and screams in the killing.
"Hurry up, my lord, we're in ambush!"
A wolf-bèi tribal guard threw the overly forward Burnton Sue off his horse at a critical moment, allowing Bernton Sue to escape in this dense rain of arrows, but he himself did not shoot into a hedgehog.
Under the pale gaze of the Bern Sue, on the left side of the Bernese army, groups of falcon armies gradually emerged from behind the mountains, and large clusters of arrows attacked, like a large black cloud, obscured the sky that should have been colored, and the dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops, and metal waterfalls fell from the sky!
The powerful ballista steel arrows made the Bernese army near the earthen wall seem to be punched head-on by an invisible giant.
The whole platoon of soldiers suddenly flew backwards a few meters, even more than ten meters, after a few blows in this storm.
Dressed in light infantry chain mail, it twisted into an unnatural position in mid-air, flipping over and over into a hedgehog shot with clusters of arrows.
"Retreat, retreat now!"
It took less than fifteen minutes for Bernton Sue to go from sensing the trap to making the decision to withdraw, but Caesar Sauron, who was already fat, reacted faster
With an order, the assault blades of 2,000 lightly armed scout cavalry plunged deep into the back of the Byrne's panicked fleeing.
The head rolled, and the corpse was knocked out by the galloping war horse,
