1927 Spring Breeze Roll Remnant Flowers (2)
The dawn of the morning shines from the other side of the mountain, like a dividing line dividing the earth into light and dark areas, just non-military minister Marcos riding on the standing horse, his eyes swept over the vast field in front of him, the earth is filled with white mist, the spring flowers are swaying in the wind, very peaceful,
But this was not what Marcos wanted, he wanted the black falcon cavalry to crash into his carefully arranged ambush circle, but he was disappointed, and as the battle readiness order was lifted, the stiff non-archers stood up in the waist-high grass in front of them, and waited in vain all night, and the soldiers looked tired, so painstakingly placed the ambush circle. But without waiting for the prey that should arrive outside Besuka this morning, everyone will have an idea in their hearts
"Did the other party notice something?" Marcos muttered to himself, waiting all night, the falcon cavalry who should have appeared yesterday evening did not appear, looking at the end of the white earth in front of him, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, the other party did not come towards Besuka, so where would it go?
As an experienced battlefield veteran, Marcos would not think that the other party's ferocious northward rush of hundreds of miles was just to scare himself, "My lord, will the other party choose another route, so there is a deviation" The commander of the fourth cavalry regiment of Gangfei Bisar came over next to him, because the other party was cavalry, so Macoste intended to transfer back a cavalry regiment, the Gangfei Southern Army had a total of two cavalry regiments, one had been heavily damaged in the port of Valenya in order to drag the fleet of the Falcon Empire, and the other was the Pisar cavalry regiment in front of him, with 7,800 cavalry, although it was still disadvantageous to confront the 10,000 Falcon Imperial cavalry that broke through, but it was more than enough to entangle the other party, "no"
Marcos shook his head with great certainty and said, "This is the way from the Alawi Mountains to Besuka, and the other side has previously adopted a strategy of straight line assault. There was almost no hindrance, proving that the opponent had a very detailed map in his hand, so there would be no deviations, unless ......"
Speaking of this, Marcos's voice suddenly stopped, and he was secretly taken aback in his heart, the other party would not deviate from the direction, or not in this direction at all, or lurking somewhere halfway, waiting for the opportunity to give his side a fatal blow. In normal times, such an arrangement seems to be nothing more than a small cleverness, but the Falcon Army still has 60,000 people in the direction of Baruta, and if the two echo each other, internal and external attacks, it will make the current battle situation even worse.
"No, we can't wait any longer, we have to find out this threat embedded in the hinterland!"
Marcos' eyes flashed. His eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and he suddenly said to Bissar, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment next to him, "Your Fourth Cavalry Regiment will immediately advance in echelon, and I will order the Seventh and Eighth Infantry Regiments to follow closely behind, and the three regiments will be in a zigzag shape." As long as the other party is in this direction, he will definitely be able to encounter" Marcos untied his sword from his waist, smiled fiercely at the corner of his mouth, and handed it to Bissal, "Bissal, this time it's all up to you." The other party is a cunning fox, take this sword, help me get it out!" "Your Excellency. You can rest assured!"
Bissar's eyes were burning at the imperial marshal's sword, he respectfully took it, raised his hand and saluted, and was about to turn away, when a herald cavalry galloped from a distance, the herald cavalry stopped in front of Marcos, jumped down breathlessly, took out a report, and said, "My lord, the emergency military report from the Baruta side" "Baruta!" Marcos tightened his nerves, could his conjecture be right? The Falcon Army suddenly turned from the south to the north, and the Falcon Army on the Baruta side will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, he has already given an order to the 100,000 troops on the Baruta side in advance to prepare for combat, in this case, now the nuclear can hope that there will be no big problems in Baruta, Marcos took the report suspiciously, his eyes swept cautiously, his eyes widened, his face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered to himself, "What's going on?" "What's the matter, my lord!" The commander of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, Bissar, stretched his neck and asked curiously, "We don't need to look for it anymore."
Marcos put down the report, took a deep breath, and handed the report in his hand to Bissar, who was stunned, "The other party didn't get lost, but went to Baruta, what an amazing blow, we were all fooled, the target of this falcon cavalry is not Besuka, but the military rations of the 100,000 army on the Baruta side, we have all been fooled!"
"What, Baruta's military rations!" Bisar's eyes were about to bulge out when he heard it, the other party rushed into hundreds of miles from the south like a hurricane, and the speed of the march was so fast that there was no chance to react, everyone thought that the other party's target was Besuka, where the court was located, who would have thought that in just one night, the other party turned to Baruta, "order the whole army to evacuate"
Marcos waved his hand in frustration, no one knows better than him how powerful this blow of the Falcon Army is, the military rations are now the death hole of the Gangfei army, because of the lack of military rations, he even proposed to the emperor to let the generals develop the local army, and now the military rations of the 100,000 army that were finally gathered were burned by a fire, and the Baruta defense line was already self-defeating,
It's like you've drawn your sword at the enemy in front of you, only to be pierced through the throat by a sharp arrow from a thousand miles behind.
Just when the non-human Baruta defense line was attacked and troubled, very sad news came from the south, Duke Andya, the commander-in-chief of the southern coast, who had high hopes, was ambushed by the 30,000 Falcon Army infantry who suddenly turned again when he led 20,000 troops to march towards the fortress of Baruni, which should be a weak force.
The 20,000-strong Congo-Africa army killed more than 15,000 people and captured 4,000, including the commander-in-chief, Duke Andya himself, who was the last legion of the Congolese on the southern coast. Because of this war, the already very poor Gangfei people once again lost nearly 80,000 troops, as well as the resource-rich ports on the entire southern coast, and completely lost the export of the open sea, Gangfei has truly become a landlocked country worthy of the name this time.
Also because of the fall of the southern coast, the Congo-African Empire's route to obtain grain through the guò trade route was completely cut off, and there was only one way left.
In order to obtain food and wealth, the Congo-African army committed numerous atrocities in the Putao area. According to incomplete statistics, in the first month of the invasion of Putao, more than 90,000 Putao people were slaughtered by the Gangfei army, especially the newly rising Putao nobles, which were the focus of the Gangnon army
The brutality of the Gangfei people finally stimulated the Putao people, and the nobles of the Putao were engaged in the war to resist the invasion of Gangfei, and the First Patriotic War of Putao in the history of Obaro broke out.
The huge wealth accumulated by the nobles of Putao was turned into weapons, armor and soldiers, and the population of Putao was insufficient. The nobles recruited mercenaries, Putao was originally a smuggling distribution center, there were more than 300 mercenary organizations registered in the business alliance, the total number was as high as more than 17,000 people, plus the mercenaries who came from other regions when they heard the news, as of the third month of spring, the strength of the Putao noble alliance army has reached 37,000 people, and they thought they were already strong, and the full-fledged Putao nobles broke out the Amt battle with the invading Gangfei troops
Amt is a small town less than thirty miles from the Duke's palace in Putau. Breaking through here, it is the Duke's Palace, which has just been built into a commercial center, the base camp of the nobles of Putao, in fact. Because of the brutality and wanton plundering of the Gangnon-invading army, the Duke's Palace held high the banner of the orthodox army of Putao, and the prestige of the Duke of Putao was rapidly recovering, and the troubled times were stable. The current Putao people know that if they don't have enough force as a backing, they will be a dish that the other party can kill as much as they want, and the Putao nobles who were originally not interested in the duke. and began to change,
Next to the town that had been burned to ruins, the Duke of Putao fiddled with the lookout glasses that the fat man gave to him as a gift, and behind him, the nobles of Putao wore various armors and whispered in whispers, these Putao nobles had brothers, fathers and sons, and the military flags representing each family coat of arms fluttered in the wind in various colors,
They were dressed in splendid armor, with heroic tasseled helmets and crosses, their cloaks fluttering like clouds blown by the wind, and whole groups of infantry were entering the battlefield, and they formed neat quadrilaterals in the wilderness, wearing freshly made armor and bayonet guns, and the battle flags were flying, "Attention, the whole army is ready! No matter how far or close the other side is, when you hear the order, you will violently poke out the spears in your hands! so that you can live." A veteran raised his sword towards the sky, drove his horse and ran in front of the entire row of soldiers, his eyes were majestic, and there was a terrifying chill all over his body.
This spirited old man is the Marquis of Woowent, the commander of this coalition, the nominal commander is the Duke of Purtau, in this coalition army, the strength of the Duke's Mansion is not much, only about 4,000 people, pure soy sauce party, this Marquis of Woovent has the largest troops, 7,000 people, according to the Duke of Purtao, many of the nobles of Vuvent regard this invasion as an opportunity to rise, the inaction of the Duke's Mansion has made many people have ideas in their hearts, and this Marquis of Woovent is very famous among the nobles, has served as a combat officer of the Duke's Palace, and is the head of a powerful family,
In fact, the duke is not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the coalition army, but as the nominal co-lord of the Putao nobles, if he declares that he will not participate, the best consequence is that he will be spurned by others, and the worst consequence is that the coalition of nobles will level his duke's palace before fighting the Gangfei people. He had thought of asking the Falcon Empire for help, but the fact that the Empire was exhausted was there, and now the Falcon Army remaining in Lisbento had only 10,000 troops, "Now I can only rely on myself!" Duke Putao tightened the reins of his horse, and the war horse in battle armor kicked the ground uneasily, and whispered twice, "May God bless me Putao!" The nobles began to pray, and in the wilderness ahead, a Gangfei army of 20,000 men was gathering as a scattered advance,
The unique large tower shield of the Gangfei infantry is like a whole row of round buckle links along the edge of the earth, and countless spears are towering at the forefront of the Gangfei military formation, flashing with a chilling cold light, at a glance, the shining silver armor of the Gangfei people is like an overwhelming silver palpitation, and the high-spirited Gangfei people have seized the powerful terrain nearby, a mound located on the middle line where the two armies meet, which is the commanding heights of the entire battlefield. Waiting for the opportunity to move, faintly threatening the flanks of the coalition forces, "Is there any news about the Falcon Empire sending reinforcements?" some nobles whispered
"I heard that it was rejected! Actually, you and I both know that the Falcon Empire's forces in the Putao region are already empty, where are there any surplus troops to support us!" The other nobleman who was talking to him said with an ugly face, "Why is this happening, isn't it because of them that Gangfei is at war with us? As our suzerain, isn't it because of the duty of protection?" The nobleman looked indignant
"Suzerain, the question is, when did you think that the Falcon Empire was your suzerain!" the nobleman pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said coldly, "If I remember correctly. You've always thought that the Falcon Empire should be evacuated from Putao, right! Now it's just a little bit of pressure, and you think about the benefits of the Falcon Empire?" "This ......" The nobleman's face was embarrassed and his mouth opened and he couldn't speak, yes, who would have thought that once the Falcon Empire's military support was lost, Putao's situation would be so embarrassing, "Okay, okay, what's the use of discussing this, concentrate on fighting!" One of the nobles came over to play the round, "What the hell is going on?" Duke Putao's gaze swept over the Gangfei army in front of him with a bit of solemnity. He also knows some military things, and he has also seen the cruelty of the battlefield after the fat man, and the posture of the other party is waiting for him, which makes his eyebrows frown slightly, the terrain here is obviously unfavorable to the side of the coalition army, who set the battlefield here? The strength of the coalition army is 27,000 people, and there are 20,000 Gangfei people on the opposite side, "The terrain here looks unfavorable to us!" Duke Putao told this idea to the commander of the coalition army, Marquis Wuwente. Your Excellency the Duke only needs to sit back and watch the battle, and leave the battle to me!" He said confidently, "War has never been absolutely certain, and we always have to face all kinds of problems. The enemy was just frightened by the strength of our army, so he took a defensive position, and there was no difference between good and bad sides, only the difference between the soldiers of both sides who was braver!"
"It's obviously a matter of hasty decision-making. In the unfavorable terrain to block the enemy, I have to make a confident appearance, this lord. Don't you know what shame is!" A cold voice came, "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to comment!"
Marquis Woowent looked at a young nobleman who came from the direction of the left flank of the coalition army with an annoyed expression, this young nobleman was wearing black tattooed shoulder armor and a long black cloak, looking majestic, with an uncomfortable fierceness in his eyes, and there was indeed a white thorn flower on his chest, which was the symbol of the Imperial Guard "Are you?" Duke Putau was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he had seen this young man, but he couldn't remember it for a while
"It's rude, Your Excellency the Duke!" the young officer smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and saluted the duke, "I am Leto, the leader of the Sixth Banner Regiment of the Central Guards Regiment of the Falcon Empire, and now I am serving as the adjutant of Lord Varysian, this time I am specially on the orders of the Lord to remind you that there are people in the coalition army who are not in the army, and this blocking battle is a trap, so it is better to evacuate quickly!"
"You said that we have inhuman eyeliner here, are you sure" Duke Putao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked with a stern face
"Your Excellency, this is a very strict slander, all the adults who can appear here have long proven themselves to be the real Putao people, where did the Gangfei people come from, and the Gangfei people on the opposite side are only 20,000 people, our army is completely in an advantage, where did the trap come from?"
"20,000 men are just bait, and more of the other side's forces are gathering! The other side wants to use you as bait to lure us out!" the young officer insisted
"Are you saying that the other side still has more troops in the ......" Duke Putao was startled when he heard this, and before he finished speaking, the Marquis of Woovent next to him was already very impatient and said, "If the Falcon Army has no intention of supporting, then please stop talking nonsense, otherwise it will shake the morale of the coalition army! Even if you are an officer of the Falcon Empire, I will order you to be arrested immediately."
"This ......" Duke Putao looked very hesitant, although he was the nominal co-master, but if he forcibly accused the nobles of having enemy spies, it would also be a matter of public anger, seeing the duke's hesitation, the young officer sighed and said, "I hope the Duke will do it himself" and turned around and rode away,
"Forward!"
The Marquis of Woovent pulled out his sword, the central army array advanced neatly, the gun array advanced smoothly and orderly, the group of guns bursting with cold light was like a mountain, and the heavy pressure gave people infinite pressure, both sides were infantry, there was not much trickery, it was nothing more than to see who broke the opponent's queue first, and when approaching the middle line, the two armies began to accelerate and "kill" What broke out was the throwing guns of the traditional light infantry, and I saw that these infantry queues were fifty or sixty meters away from each other, neatly throwing their throwing guns into the sky, and the heavy infantry in the front rows of both sides also raised the heavy shields in their hands at the same time, covering their bodies behind the shields.
The infantry on both sides slammed into the opponent's center like two huge iron anchors.
Bang, the soldiers on both sides collided almost at the same time, and the fierce collision of metal shields was like waves crashing on a reef,
The spear pierced into the heavy armor of the hoplites, bringing up a slip of red,
The armor sewn with iron pieces on his body was suddenly torn apart, and flesh and blood flew sideways, and blood flew down from a high place like raindrops.
"What's going on?"
The Duke of Putau stood on a high place, fiddling with the lookout glasses in his hands. The scene in front of him made the cold sweat on his body come out, in the army of the Marquis of Woowente, who had the most powerful troops, there was only one confrontation, and the army of seven thousand people was forcibly separated from the middle of the array by the opponent who numbered no more than a thousand, revealing the weak flank of the Chinese army that was fighting fiercely,
No matter how stupid he is at this moment, Duke Putao knows that the coalition forces have been betrayed! (To be continued......
