2098 The Empire Strikes Back (13)
When the shouts of fighting from the direction of the western army base camp of Hungary sounded from a distance, Duo Weiyan already knew that something was wrong, almost jumped off the war horse, his eyes looked at the sky with black smoke like a straight road in the distance, his face was gloomy, the situation turned sharply, he was also a little anxious, three million gold coins flew like this, who was not in a hurry as much as the fire hurt, this time around, ran more than forty miles of mountain roads in one breath, and met a lot of Hun Ya scattered horsemen who were rushing to the left wing along the way, although the number of each was not large, 1,200 horses kept encountering, dozens of miles of mountain roads down, and also intermittently scattered the scale of 30,000 or 40,000 people, all the way to gallop is not possible, although the cavalry of the West Stop finally defeated the blockade, after all, they still delayed time,
And no one expected that the main force of the empire would directly take the way of breaking through in a straight line, and make a strong breakthrough all the way.
The entire Xiting cavalry cluster, thinking that the bounty of three million gold coins that was about to arrive had a tendency to fly away from their mouths, everyone's faces looked unsightly, and they desperately moved forward, although the 90,000 Xiting cavalry took a long way and went around behind the Hungarian base camp, they could also see the black pillars of smoke rushing straight into the sky pressing forward, so that he and all the Xiting generals were moved and surprised by the speed, in just two or three hours, they dragged from the diplomatic front of thirty miles away to the Hungarian base camp,
At this time, the Xiting cavalry broke through four consecutive blockades, and the fastest would take about an hour or so, which was already the result of doing their best, and continued to do their best to move forward, only hoping that the smoke in front of them would burn slowly, and the Huns would not be too soft, and they would be able to resist some time. I saw that in front of the 90,000 cavalry of the West Garden, a large number of routs roared like a mountain torrent and tsunami.
These routs included the Hungarian troops scattered by the impact in front, the retreating legions from both fronts, and the remnants of the near collapse in the direction of the main camp, all gathered together for a while, the number of more than 100,000 people, boom, and at once it was crowded with the eyelines of the Xiting people who were rushing forward, and the boundless were full of human heads
"Nima......" The eyes of the Xiting cavalry turned red all of a sudden. The target is in front, ten miles away, running fast is half an hour, not a victory in sight, but also a little scraps, how did it hit it, at the beginning of the opposite side sent out a rain of arrows. The Xiting cavalry and light cavalry involuntarily retreated, hoping to lean towards the side and scare away the Huns who were blocking the way, but there were too many Huns. There were so many that they couldn't let it go at all, and the Huns were eager to flee, but they didn't expect to encounter such a large number of enemy cavalry here, plus they were killed by cavalry similar to black armor in front. Only dared to shoot a burst of arrows and then avoided and fled, the accuracy of the arrow rain was much worse, and only a dozen Xiting sentinels rode off their horses for a while. But more of the Western Court cavalry had arrows hanging on their armor,
It's just that these Xiting cavalry did not stop the rout. Blindly towards the front of the Hungarian base camp in front, occasionally a few teams of cavalry blades flashed with cold light, and slammed into the already chaotic Hungarian army. People shouted and neighed, and the screams were unconscious. The sound of the human body being knocked into the air, as well as the sound of slashing and slashing, hoping to find a way for the rear brigade to kill, "I can't catch up! I can't catch up! This time it's over!"
A sturdy Xiting general looked at the endless Hun Ya rout army in front of him, his eyes showed a trace of bitterness, gasping for breath, bumping on the mountain road for several hours, and constantly fighting with the Hun Ya people, even the Xiting cavalry began to feel a little powerless, and at this time, because of the collapse of the direction of the camp, more batches of Hun Ya rout army collided head-on, and the speed of the Xiting 90,000 cavalry was stagnated to the slowest level, although it swept through the rear of the Hun base camp like a raging wave, and it was only one step away from the base camp, but the energy and body had been exhausted, and now they felt that it was hopeless to impact the base camp, and the courage of the Xiting cavalry suddenly fell"What to do?"
The generals of Xiting, you look at me, I look at you, all of them have no idea, the fingers holding the reins of the war horse are white, and the expression of dissatisfaction and helplessness on their faces has already explained a qiē, frustrated, these generals of all ethnic groups in Xiting, there are benefits in front of them, naturally everyone can work together and fight to the death, now that the benefits are gone, who still has that motivation, there are too many Hun people in front of them, unless it is a comprehensive killing, it is impossible to break through the past
"I know that if we fight, we will inevitably die, and since we have thrown ourselves into the battlefield in one breath, we should just kill the past, anyway, everyone is here to fight, are you still afraid that you can't afford to die? Why do you want to make a big detour in one fell swoop! Now it's okay, after sparing most of the long distance, the battle is still not less, and there are four or five thousand wounded soldiers, and the imperial army has burned from the side line to the Hungarian base camp, and we are still grinding here, and when we get to the Hungarian base camp, not to mention gnawing bones, I am afraid that there will not be even a mouthful of residual soup left." The sturdy Xiting general complained in a low voice, "Who said no, who didn't pat his chest to his relatives in the clan this time and promise that at least he would go back with a golden coin horsewhip! Now don't talk about the horsewhip strung out of a thousand imperial gold coins, even the hanging locks of a thousand silver coins are gone, and the copper plate can make up some, but what's the use!" The Duowei Department has the empire to rely on, and the princess takes care of her privately, so you won't lose anything, but pity us, so many young people from all tribes and tribes on the grassland pulled it out in one breath, first nested in the north for half a month, and finally had a big battle, and now it is over!"
Duo Weiyan's face was pale, silent, as if he didn't hear the voice behind him, he looked deeply at the black smoke in the distance straight up to the bottom of the sky, where it should be the Hungarian base camp, so close, but so far away, the smell of blood, the sound of fierce fighting, and the sound of the wind blowing his hair, all made his back feel a piercing chill,
It's really a mockery, I still think that I am really the first person in Xiting, but I am deceiving myself! This time I came with an army of 90,000 Xiting, and I couldn't help but have some arrogance in my heart, when Xiting was in its heyday, the elite combat power that could be taken out in one breath was also like this, but today, all the troops were pale and powerless in front of them, and the troops did not hesitate to pull out such a large cavalry army and came on the orders of the imperial army. It may not be without a little bit of meaning to show the empire,
But at this moment, he realized that whether it was himself or the Xiting Ministries, he didn't know how stupid the so-called pride was, and the Ministries obeyed their orders, but in fact, they were still selling the face of the Falcon Khan King, and they spared no effort to drive the army to come, and what they did was the rich reward of the empire, if the Xiting Ministries were eagles. Then this eagle's anklet is tied to the arm of a falcon called Vecchia, from beginning to end, Xiting is this person's eagle dog, and it comes and goes as soon as it is called, as for himself, the so-called first person in Xiting, if he really has the slightest heart to confront this person, I am afraid that all the departments of Xiting will work together to level their Duowei Department!
It's just that this battle, is it really over like this? Duo Weiyan shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts that were tumbling in his mind. The Vekia Falcon will not just be a flank when it puts such a powerful Xiting cavalry into the battlefield, so what is the real purpose of the Vekia Falcon?
Just when he was confused. A Xiting cavalryman with a green eagle on his shoulder rode up from behind, and his loud voice finally mobilized a trace of the morale of the Xiting army: "My lord, the order from the base camp! No matter how many you kill, one head, two gold coins!
Two gold coins for the head of a person!
The cavalry of the Xiting Army found that the bounty of three million was hopeless. The body shook slightly, this bounty may not be very tempting for the big tribes of the Ruduowei Department, but for this battle, for the first time, for the small and medium-sized parts of some cavalry, it is a rare opportunity in a century, everyone worked hard to make this fortune, in the past, only the big tribes had the opportunity, this time it fell on their heads, naturally no one was willing to leave like this, otherwise they are the laughing stock on the grassland, chasing and killing the Hungarian army in exchange for some of the cost of sending troops, it is better than nothing, so many Hungarian army in front of you, how many gold coins are takenThe most important thing is that the Xiting cavalry, which has been spared to the rear of the Hungarian base camp, is really the best location to pursue and kill these Hungarian defeated troops
"Since it is the order of the Khan, you can carry it out!" Duo Weiyan turned around, waved his hand to the Xiting generals behind him, and looked at the sky in the distance with his eyes flashing, there was no black smoke there, but there was a layer of canopy that could never be broken through, even the goshawk that could soar on the grassland could not break through the highest clouds, just like the battle situation in front of him, in fact, what he saw was just a corner of the battle situation, and it had long exceeded the range of what he could control, Xiting, the eagle dog, under this sky, was afraid that even how to fly, how high to fly, and even how much food to feed, had already been in that person's control, and he had come to such a position step by step, and the idea of dominating Xiting was not unprecedented, it turned out to be so ridiculous,
The empire has such a strong army in a hundred battles, has such a rich and extensive land, how many elite soldiers and strong generals, even if the grassland tribe even adds men, women, old and weak, can they make a little wave in front of such a powerful empire, in front of the man who controls the sky and the earth with one hand?
Duo Weiyan looked around blankly, and the smoke and dust rolled up by the earth,
In the smoke and dust, the 90,000 Xiting cavalry were silent, just desperately urging the horses, and with the momentum of the iron flow, desperately trying to join this battlefield! This is to warn me, to tell me that the empire will not let the second Xiting King who was born from the situation appear, right! My brother-in-law!
Countless clusters of sharp feathered arrows came from the opposite side and landed on the men and horses, splashing thousands of points of blood, and there was also a scream of people shouting and neighing! The arrow array composed of the Xiting cavalry was pressing on the retreating road of the Hun people, and the desperate struggle between the two armies was now unfolding, and in order to escape, both sides opened all their strong bows and threw out a rain of arrows in a big tent! Duo Weiyan even led the guards to stand on the front line, and the strong bow in his hand hummed with a huge bowstring. The sound of breaking the sky was sharp and loud, and the arrows shot out like sharp arrows tearing through the air, trembling violently and pointing directly at a Hun patriarch opposite,
The patriarch was wearing a standard heavy armor, and he was shouting for a command, and he was also a battle-hardened appearance, as if he felt the danger. As soon as he turned around, he saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and a huge mile tore the leather surface of the riding shield in his hand like a broken leather, knocking the wooden shield body out of the sky full of debris.
The front end of the "snap" arrow cluster sank into his shoulder without stopping, and then tilted diagonally, piercing out from the other end, and finally sparing his strength, he opened a big hole in his neck! The Hungarian patriarch snorted without snorting, and with the rain of blood in the sky, he turned over and fell to the ground, at the same time. Under the attack of the dense rain of arrows, the Hungarians, who were desperately rushing, finally collapsed and scattered. The men and horses overturned, and the cries rang out, and some people crashed into a mess. Having lost all the courage to attack, he just wanted to quickly escape from the terrifying Western cavalry formation in front of him.
In the face of such an arrow array, where is there still a fight, it is simply sent to death! Duo Weiyan shot an arrow, and he didn't draw the arrow again, he already stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and his crotch sank. The healthy horse under the crotch neighed lowly, the front hooves kept digging the ground, and the heavy snort was snorting, with years of equestrian skills and ingenuity, the horse could not move forward.
"The whole army is ready for close combat!" Duo Weiyan shouted, and the three-fold arrow array on his side, together with the cavalry covering the armor, immediately pressed the strong bow in his hand neatly, took a slight breath, and took the opportunity to recover his arm that had begun to be sore. The body also stood up slightly on the saddle, and the body bent forward, and a pair of shining eyes had turned blood-red, staring at the Hungarian brigade that was already in chaos in front of him. The crotch horse felt the pressure on his back disappear. Immediately he roared with rage,
Everyone in the Duowei Department, follow me!" The depression in Duo Weiyan's heart dissipated a little, and he pulled out the Blue Moon of the Grassland with the knife. Shouting shouted behind him, raised his head, and rushed straight out like an arrow! Xiting didn't get the three million bounty because of himself. Then kill this bounty yourself,
"Kill!"
At this time, it was the time for these defeated troops to collapse with all their might, thousands of Duowei cavalry guards urged the horses to gallop around Duo Weiyan, and tens of thousands of horsemen followed behind, and the most elite Duowei cavalry in the front did not hesitate to collide with the remnants of the Hungarian army that had collapsed.
The blades flown over, blood splattered, and the horses neighed. The armor of both sides was slashed by the blades and splashed with a little spark, and the thick yellow dust and smoke splashed by the horse's hooves sounded and flew, this countercurrent broke the Hun teeth and cut them open, although the Xiting cavalry was almost exhausted, but after all, they were skilled in equestrian skills and fought bravely,
The Huns have long lost the heart to fight, and they were defeated by the imperial cavalry head-on, and now no matter the officers and soldiers, they are full of only thinking about escaping, where is there still a fierce battle, and suddenly encountered a counterattack of the 90,000 Xiting cavalry in a large range of interceptions, and in an instant I don't know how many people were stabbed and killed, 300,000 Hun troops, but in a day's time, the camp was broken, the main force was killed and wounded, and the corpses were piled up on the muddy meadow ground covered with blood, and some looked at the sky above their heads with an unwilling face,
In the eyes of the Xiting cavalry, this is all money, you can't get three million gold coins, you can get more than ten or twenty gold coins, and these Hun people's war horses are also quite good, for the Xiting cavalry who take horses as their private property, lead one or two good horses, this battle is worth it, this kind of completely anxious Xiting cavalry in front of the Hun cavalry, the Huns suffered a near-total massacre, they screamed sadly, some knelt on the ground and surrendered, and some simply lay down in the pile of corpses to pretend to be corpses, and the hours of fighting have exhausted their bodies, but also let all their willpower and fighting spirit have collapsed, this is a massacre, the Hungarians who once crisscrossed Central Europe, the Hungarians who have always taken pleasure in driving and slaughtering other peoples, did not expect that they would suffer such a large-scale massacre one day
Standing on the boundless battlefield of the accumulated corpses, Duo Weiyan looked west,
Just as I saw the western skyline, dozens of columns of black cavalry released to this side began to stop, and behind these black cavalry, a wave of cavalry had appeared, pulling away the front. The golden falcon banner fluttered over the head of this cavalry. The figure who looked like an imperial general at the head slowly flattened the bayonet gun in his hand. Then tens of thousands of stabbing spears were also flattened, flashing a cold light!
The slanting sun in the distant sky is sprinkling a red afterglow,
In the area where the Xiting cavalry counterattacked and intercepted, the 100,000 corpses were shocking, forming a huge circle around the interception area, with severed limbs and remnants everywhere, and bright red blood seeping into the soil.
The dense large and small blood-colored potholes have made this place as terrifying as the legendary hell, a terrible battlefield with no end in sight,
The piles of corpses, the stumps of the guns stuck in the battlefield, the broken spears and heavy swords everywhere, the corpses of men and horses piled up. On the mountain of corpses, there were also flags planted obliquely on the mountain with hands and feet, red earth, red people, and red rivers
"This guy ......"
Looking at the almost hellish piles of corpses on the battlefield, looking at the streams of human blood all over the ground, and looking at the smoke and dust that almost turned red, Salong took a deep breath, glanced back at the black cavalry behind him, did not speak, but stepped on the stirrups violently, urged the war horse, and walked towards the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him.
It seems that the red land in front of me is completely devoid of zài, empire! Empire! That battle is not like this, mountains of corpses and sea of blood!(To be continued......
