1657 Grid II
The wind blew on the fat man's face, bringing the hot smell of blood on the battlefield, the fierce battle had been more than 2 hours, the Gallic Eighth Army headquarters resisted very stubbornly, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road! The Gauls occupied the terrain, and the Guards occupied the unexpected situation, both sides gathered heavy troops at the location of the broken city gate, and killed each other in a short time, "It's a little tricky!" The fat man licked his somewhat dry lips, looked away from the city gate where the two armies converged, and ordered" The 5th Squadron, the 8th Squadron, the 7th Squadron, and the 11th Squadron stormed the southern city and ordered other troops to storm the city gates, no matter who it was, the first wave of troops to break into the city would have a bounty of 100,000 yuan, and within four hours, they must be quickly decided!"
The corresponding squadron leaders lined up behind the fat man led their horses and galloped to their squadrons.
This time, the fat man pressed all the last reserves, and the city gate and the city wall pressed at the same time, this battle of beheading, time is the most important issue to pay attention to, once the 40,000 Gallic troops who left found something, and suddenly killed back, they and their 15,000 guards would fall into the dilemma of attacking inside and outside
And the matter of his onslaught on Fort Keyan should not be concealed for long, and soon, the other troops of the Eighth Army of Gaul will fight to the death, and this grid-to-grid battle will soon turn into a tragic strangulation between the two sides "The whole army stands up, the target city gate, His Majesty has an order, the first wave of troops to break into the city, the bounty is 100,000" The squadron leaders were wearing white thorn heraldic armor, pulled out their sharp swords at their waists, and stood at the front of each squadron with excited expressions, loudly conveying the order "One hundred thousand!" All the soldiers suddenly became excited, the soldiers who were in reserve stood up one after another, and some of the troops who had been transferred back from the front to rest, "Victory!" The sound shook the wilderness, and countless sharp and cold infantry spears were raised in unison, and the morale of the troops reached its peak in an instant, on the contrary, the city gate was broken, and the cheers from the city were heard.
The defenders of Keyan Fort on the city wall turned pale one by one, and watched in amazement as the black army below rushed over like a flood, and countless arrows fell on their heads at this time, like a bright and dazzling point of light getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into an unstoppable sea of light, "Poof!poof!" Sharp arrows shot into the body of the defenders of the city gate from all directions, and hundreds of soldiers were all covered in this way, and their bodies seemed to have suffered a heavy blow,
Sharp arrows pierced the human body. Deeply nailed to the wall tiles beneath their feet. The bright red blood exploded like plum blossoms, and the unconscious body was in a torrent of light and shadow formed by the arrow clusters. Medium arrows, medium arrows, constant middle arrows, countless clusters of arrows flew over like sparrows flying over the scarecrows of the fields
After the rain of "killing" arrows, the two armies finally strangled together without reservation.
At the collapsed walls of the city gates, the soldiers of the two armies shouted hoarsely, and countless weapons collided with the sound of metal. Countless soldiers in black armor rushed out like ants from the building cars that had built the passages.
The fierce siege battle entered the white-hot phase from the very beginning
"Resist, kill those who retreat without permission!"
An officer of the Eighth Army in Gaul shouted with bloodshot eyes. Not far from him, at the mouth of the battlements, the Gallic pikemen formed a whole line, stabbing their spears downward, guarding the gap between the battlements. Collied with black-clad Falcon infantry
"Forward, the first to enter the city will be rewarded with 100,000!"
"Hold them off, block them......"
The middle and lower commanders of the two armies shouted hoarsely, and the narrow city gates were closed. The two sides collided violently like beasts, and any tactics and the like have lost their effectiveness, and now they are competing to see who is stronger. At this point, the combat power of the Falcon Guard. It is obviously much stronger than the direct team of the Eighth Army.
This war, inherently unfair, the war-hardened Guards equipment and weapons are obviously superior to the Gauls, they are equipped with standard sabers are sharp weapons in close combat, wearing heavy armor that is difficult to cut through, densely swarming, seeing blood is like seeing a catalyst, perennial war and rich military exploits, these soldiers have already been trained into warriors who are not afraid of death, fierce and different from ordinary people to kill and advance,
"Forward, Kill"
With the order, very tacit understanding raised, waved, just like a killing machine, as long as you see blood, those eyes are brushed with a seeping red light, after the first wave of spears stabbed out, the falcon Praetorian Guard often quickly pulled out their own standard combat knives, relying on short combat, fierce and abnormal slashing, the weapon with the sound of the wind in the dark corridor slashed into the opponent's body, and then pulled out with blood,
The Gauls, who were still stupid with spears, were cut down in an instant, and the Falcon Guard, with a hideous face, swung their knives like machines without stopping, and then pulled their long knives out of the opponent's body, and swung them again until there was no more enemy standing in front of them,
"The city gate is in danger, ask for help!"
"The fifth squadron, the eighth squadron are transferred to the city gate!" Hebury ordered with a trembling voice, his ruthlessness as a commander was also a little shaken at this moment, it was really too many people who died at the city gate,
His own team of Gallic elites was filled in, and even he himself felt a chill in his heart
The opponent's long knives slashed violently, blood flew, and from time to time the limbs of the people were disrupted or flew into the air, blood splattered on the faces of the people nearby, and the weapons were intertwined with each other, making an unpleasant metallic creak, and most of the fallen were ill-prepared Gauls
At this moment, Hebriel even had a hint of illusion that his opponent was not a human, but a group of man-eating beasts that he had never seen before, he pretended to have a cold expression, in fact, he was both shocked and afraid to transfer the troops over, and soon filled in the other team,
In just one hour, the corpses of more than 2,500 Gallic soldiers in three squadrons were already piled up here, that is to say, a quarter of Hebri's troops were filled into this bottomless pit, and the reserve force was completely emptied at the city gate
"My lord, the south wall is in crisis, ask for help!" When a Gallic officer covered in blood ran from the front, Hebury could only shake his head with a bitter face, and said in a tone that even he didn't believe, "I have no reinforcements, I order everyone to hold on, I believe that someone will come to reinforce soon!"
"The 5th squadron was routed"
"The Fourth Squadron was wiped out" came one after another depressing news, and Hebbery's heart was sinking, even cold and piercing,
His gaze was on the city gate that had been completely breached, and the black heavy infantry completely dominated the battlefield there. They are simply bloodthirsty monsters, under the cold steel helmet, the bloodshot eyes are full of thirst for blood, the unknown weapon is waved like a snow knife, like a silver rolling wave that is constantly churning forward, blood flies, and their own soldiers are beaten all the way out from inside the city gate.
Half an hour later,
The herald cavalry galloped up the mound where the fat man was, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, Lord Salon reports, yesterday afternoon." 20,000 men of the Sixth Legion of Gaul settled in Aston City, 150 miles from here" "Oh, it's finally here!"
Hearing the report of the herald cavalry, the fat man's cold face did not fluctuate, but showed a rather playful sneer, he beat the Eighth Army so wolf, and finally made the Sixth Army, known as the Gallic Tiger Army, unable to help it, in fact, the fat man has been paying attention to the movements of the Sixth Army, in a sense, if it is said that the interspersed tactics of dividing the Eighth Army. If it is to compile a big net, then the real target of this big net is not the Eighth Army, but the Sixth Army Corps, which has always wanted to pick up the bargain. "陛xià. Our army has already broken into the city!We are storming the last main hall," another herald cavalry rushed in, "Providence!" The corners of the fat man's mouth laughed, and his last stab against the Eighth Army fell at the right time, looking at the Keyan Fort where billowing smoke rose in the distance. The fat man licked his dry lips and said to himself, "I'm looking forward to it, tens of thousands of demoralized remnants of the Eighth Army." Coupled with the food crisis in more than a dozen cities and millions of people, even if your Sixth Army is really a Tiger Army, is there still room for struggle if you enter this network......?"
The wind and clouds are whirling!
Looking at the rolling clouds in the distance on the edge of the sky, Hasenrimbaud, the commander of the Gallic Sixth Army standing in front of the window, did not know why he remembered this somewhat bleak-sounding word, he was forty-one years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his face was delicate and showed the feeling of a teacher,
The twilight of summer shines brightly on the historic buildings of Aston City, giving off an awe-inspiring glow.
The buildings here are all simple and massive, many of which are built directly using huge stones, and the traces of time have left speckled traces on these old stones, here. Even the air is filled with a refreshing breath,
The wind from the snow-capped mountains at the top of the mountain range is exceptionally fresh. Compared to the wind and sand outside, this place is simply a paradise on earth, with an old castle standing halfway up the mountain, and open mountains on both sides. A few small, pointy wooden houses loom in the middle of the mountains
This is the closest border of the Sixth Army Defense District, and the news that the Eighth Army was subjected to a large-scale raid by the Falcon cavalry reached the hands of Hasenlimpo five days ago, because the losses were not large,
In his eyes, the Eighth Army commander Hebriel is too worldly, and he has always been arrogant, and his command style and subordinates are also the same, and it is natural to encounter the interspersed with the other party, and the title of "cowhide army" is not all praise, and there is also a layer of meaning that in the face of benefits, the Eighth Army has always been able to occupy it, without taking into account the feelings of friendly troops, and its face is as thick as cowhide
This time, according to the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Sixth and Eighth Armies entered Rustie at the same time to fight, relying on the strength of the Eighth Army, as soon as the shameless guy of Hebaili entered, he immediately scattered his subordinates, and quickly occupied the most fertile city area of Rustie, but left the remote northern mountains to himself, that mind does not need to think about it to know, this time it is in the way of local change of defense, since it is a change of defense, the more fat the urban area, the most oil and water in nature, it is said that this time the Eighth Army has made a windfall from soldiers to officers, such a depressed defense, how can it not be knocked by people"Your Excellency!"
The adjutant hurriedly pushed open the door of his office, stopped behind Hasenrampo, and said with a strange face, "My subordinates just heard some news from the market, which may be related to the last time the Northwest rebels sent cavalry to break through and set fire to new grain!" "Oh?
Hasenrampo turned around from the window with a curious face, for the Northwest rebels to spend so much effort just to burn this year's new grain, Hasenranpo couldn't understand that the Rasti region was a key grain hoarding area of the empire. The hoarded grain is made up of a certain scale, even if this year's new grain is burned, the impact on the Eighth Army is extremely limited, but the Eighth Army's subsequent impatience and direct seizure of grain stores in various places seems to explain this matter, it is not as simple as it seems, "My subordinates just heard that most of the local military grain depots in the Rasti area are empty!" The adjutant's face changed, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It is said that Lord Hebaili of the Eighth Army also discovered this situation. That's why all the grain stores on the market were sealed!" "Are you sure what you said is true?" Hasenranpo frowned slightly, his face had changed a little, and he asked rhetorically, "How can the local grain depot be empty!" Could this kind of impossible thing be the reason why the Eighth Army has recently frantically closed down grain stores?
No, Hasenlambo shook his head to himself, and with his understanding of Hebry, he immediately said, "This should be a trick that Hebriel deliberately made, so that he can scrape as hard as possible, and now the new grain is burned." The price of grain in the region will inevitably rise sharply, and if this grain is sold again, Hebriel can make a lot of money."
"The subordinates thought the same thing, but for the sake of prudence. I still specially sent someone to the local granary, but the result was ......" The adjutant stopped talking with an ugly face
"How did it turn out?" Hasenrampo's eyebrows rose slightly, and the adjutant's expression gave him a very ominous premonition
"Only one-tenth of the grain in the granary is real, the rest are bags filled with sand and dirt!" replied the adjutant with a bowed head
"How so...... How could it be ......" Hasenrimbaud's mouth opened in surprise at the news. I didn't say anything for a long time, or I just didn't have anything to say,
Even with the steadiness of Hasenrambo. At this time, I also feel like I have been thrown away in boiling oil, like ants tormented by the heat, one-tenth of the stored grain, what is a joke, for an army of 200,000, what can this grain do, and what fatal impact will it have on the upcoming battle?
"But my lord, the grain in the location of our army has not been burned, if all of it is collected, it should be able to deal with it for a while!" The adjutant looked at the sad Hasenlimbo and kindly reminded, "It's just that the subordinates are worried, in terms of numbers, the people of the Eighth Army are more than us, and the losses are mostly concentrated in their areas, and their grain reserves are already very small, and now because of the closure of grain, it has caused disgust in many areas, if Lord Hebri personally comes to ask us for food, what should we do?"
"Regardless of him, we are not enough for ourselves!"
Hasenranpo pursed his lips with a cold face, "And the matter here needs to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, the problem of the army's military rations is enough to make this battle, which cost His Majesty the Emperor countless efforts, face a crisis."
"Urgent military report!" The voice of the guard came from outside the door, "Come in!" Hasenlimpo shouted to the door, and a guard walked in with a battle report and respectfully handed it to Hasenlimpo "The battle report of the Eighth Army!"
"There must be another infantry regiment that has been routed!" the adjutant gloated a little beside him, "Lord Hebri must have been in a bad mood lately."
Recently, the Eighth Army has been beaten by the Northwest Rebels, and there is a faint situation of global collapse, because of this, Hasenlimbo changed his previous strategy and personally led 20,000 troops into the border of the two corps, on the one hand, it can help the Eighth Army stabilize the rear, on the other hand, it can be moved depending on the opportunity, if there is a Northwest rebel army that is too deep, Hasenlimbo does not mind taking a bite, otherwise, is the other party really the Imperial Army unmanned?" "It should be, otherwise it won't use this unpleasant red!" The corners of Hasenrampo's mouth smiled, his fingers gently opened the report, his eyes swept over, the smile on his face immediately stiffened, and the whole person froze "What's the matter, my lord!" The adjutant was taken aback by Hasenlampo's somewhat strange face, "A day ago, Fort Keyan, where the headquarters of the Eighth Army was located, was breached by the Falcon Army!" Hasenlimbo took a deep breath, pressed the battle report heavily on the table with his right hand, and spit out a sentence "Hebrili died in battle! After learning the news, all units of the Eighth Army are currently in the collapse of the whole line" "What...... It's only been a few days!That's the Eighth Army of 110,000 men!" The adjutant was visibly stunned by the news, and in his thoughts, in this encounter, the Eighth Army was certainly wolf, but it was not to the point where it was impossible to fight. "The battle report said that it was 15,000 men led by Vecchia Falcon himself who captured Fort Keyan!" Hasenlimpo sighed, "Fort Keyan, but there are 11,000 people from the headquarters of the Eighth Army, and they have been conquered in almost equal numbers, and I don't know what Hebrili is doing! I ordered our army to march quickly and accept the territory and soldiers of the Eighth Army along the way, no matter what, those troops belonging to the cities controlled by the Eighth Army are still holding on! If even these places are lost, we will be completely defeated in this battle!" Not only can't I save the southwest, but I also lost Rusty, even if I can go back, His Majesty the Emperor will ask for my head" (to be continued......)
