1922 The Empire's Counterattack (VI)

"Sure enough, it's coming!"

The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, rode his horse and galloped up the small hill in front of him, and what caught his eye was the rolling hills and mountains like waves, the mountain roads and ravines were like spider webs, and when he looked down from a high place, he could see the inhuman infantry team like a huge long snake marching from the hills, "There are six different flags and banners! It seems that the other party is coming out with all his might!" Hu Keqili sighed from behind, judging from the three or four miles long team dragged out by the other side, the number was about fifty or sixty thousand, and he saw that in front of the Gangfei troops below was a whole group of lightly armed infantry with shields in hand, and in the middle was a heavy infantry with spears and heavy shields. At the head of the legion, there were several coats of arms of jagged elm leaves fluttering in the wind, as well as several military flags with different markings, and the marching army column was also completely in pursuit of the maximum marching speed. "The sudden withdrawal of the Falcon is suspicious, but the scout's report doesn't look like a lie, but why. I still don't feel safe," he said, leading an army of 60,000 men in pursuit. I looked at the hills on the left and right nervously, the terrain here is a natural ambush ground, one hill is connected to another, if there is no scout to explore the way, even if the two armies staggered, it will be difficult to find out, "Is there a new report from the front line scouts?"

Fraternity Kasa pulled the war horse violently, looked at the hills left and right, and asked the adjutant in a condensed voice, I don't know why, there is always a hint of foreboding in his heart, the Falcon Army suddenly withdrew at night, and I don't know if it was really withdrawn, or if it was a net waiting for him in front of him, "The Falcon Army has stopped retreating, and it is currently about 15 miles away from us!" The adjutant replied without hesitation before his heart settled down a little, and it was right. The Falcon Army will not appear here, but its hundreds of scouts have always followed behind, even the flies on the Falcon Army's side have to distinguish the male and female "That's good!" Fraternity Kasa raised his horsewhip, it seemed that he was too careful, the corner of his mouth smiled bitterly, he sent so many scouts, and the Falcon Army's every move was under control, at this time, a few dull voices sounded in the gloomy sky, "Well, what's the matter?" Fraternity Kasa was stunned for a moment. Then he heard a trembling voice, "Attention, enemy cavalry!" The troops in front of him suddenly became chaotic, and the mournful shouts were faintly revealed, and the panicked voice was like an invisible blade suddenly rising in the hearts of people. The troops on the march stopped one after another, and Boai Casa was also hurriedly searching,

"Look at that!" someone shouted, pointing to the flanking hills. Fraternity Kasa looked over, and his body suddenly shuddered,

Only see the pale white edge of the gloomy sky. On the side hills, dark black lines appeared, and the black lines became more and more, like the flow of water, expanding with an astonishing degree. The current of the black water turned into a black river, and it was thousands of cavalry troops, overwhelming the mountains and seas. The black armor seems to be able to suck the soul of a person into it," "Tell the order. The teams immediately formed a formation on the spot to resist!" fraternity Casa shouted with a hesitant expression, but as a column of marching troops, it was not easy to change from a marching to a defensive position in a hurry. The various infantry teams were turning in a hurry, and the soldiers were in disarray.

"Attention Ahead!" shouted the Gang Fei Forward Commander, "Hold your ground on the spot!"

Despite the nervousness and panic, the pre-battle arrangement of the defense master of Fraternity Casa immediately caused the queue to automatically disperse into more than a dozen resistance teams.

One team at a time forms a phalanx. Suppressing their panicked mood, the soldiers lined up tightly. The five-meter-long spear shaft rested on the ground and pointed in front of the spear tip. The spear in the back rested on his shoulder, and the soldiers in the front looked at the black cavalry who would collapse like a landslide at any moment in the heights, holding the spear tightly in his hand, the dense spear tip pointing diagonally forward, and the terrifying sharp spear head that shimmered metal under the gloomy sky

The herald cavalry shouted like the wind in front of the various formations, "If you dare to retreat without permission, you will be killed!" "It's interesting!"

The fat man looked at the inhuman changes below from a high place, and a rare trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes

This master of defense does not seem to be a wasted figure, he can react in such a short time, and give a cruel order to retreat and kill, so that the tens of thousands of people who were in chaos just now become like angry hedgehogs, and from there there must be a bloody consciousness at the entrance. But it would be ridiculous to think that you would be able to retreat in this way!"Your Majesty, give the order to attack!"

Hu Keqili's eyes were firm, and he quickly put on the helmet on his hand, fastening the strap under the helmet, behind him, the most elite imperial cavalry neatly raised the bayonet gun in his hand, the wind swept up the broken leaves of the hill, and flew up in front of this strong murderous aura, the war horse spewed a hot breath, and slashed the ground irritably, "Do you know where to attack?" The fat man tilted his head, and did not rush to give the order to attack, "Naturally, it is to adopt a strategy of cutting off in the middle, and then drive away the other party's rout......" Hu Keqili was slightly stunned, "Stupid! Our goal is to open the way to the southern coast, and if you adopt a strategy of crushing these 60,000 Gangfei troops and fleeing back to the fortress, then what's the point of us luring them out? Or are you going to lure them out again?" said the fat man with his fingers lightly coiling the horsewhip, and said in a cold tone

"This ......" Hu Keqili was a little confused, and lowered his head with an embarrassed face, "Please also ask Your Majesty to give me advice!" "Our goal is the fortress of Bawuni, which is twenty-five miles away from the fortress"

A cold light flashed in the fat man's eyes, and he said with a smile, "The other party is out of the woods, and there are almost no troops left, and they are infantry, we are cavalry, we need to fight to the death with these infantry here?" "Not bad!" the fat man nodded with some relief, "I have ordered the infantry flag regiment to set up a defensive array in front, and then we will take the fortress of Bawuni, these 60,000 people who have just not been in the army are two blocked rats, and we don't need to fight, within three days, they will collapse on their own because of the low morale of the army!

"Shhh Hearing this, I gasped, and I felt chills, I wipe, I can still fight like this, it is simply shameless to the extreme, but it also brings the essence of strategy to the extreme, sometimes I really wonder if the Falcon Majesty is a human being,

The real goal, in fact, is from the beginning to the end. It's all on the fortress of Gangnon. If you don't make a move, it's just that, and it's an unexpected kill, and it's the kind that makes the other party desperate and powerless to resist

It would take at least four hours for a group of infantry on the other side to rush back to the fortress of Bawuni, which was 25 miles away, while the cavalry of this side would take at most an hour, a time difference of three hours, with the combat power of 10,000 guards regiments, it was enough to take the unprepared fortress of Bawuni, and then the 60,000 troops who had just been inhuman lost the fortress. He was also blocked before and after, and he really had the heart to cry to death, and the morale of the army was hit hard by this, so he didn't need to fight to the end! Don't delay" The fat man waved his hand, brother is amazing, but he was stared at by a man with adoring eyes, but he didn't have any pride. Until then, it is necessary to have a proper posture to confuse the enemy

"Confuse the enemy?" Hukochili muttered to himself, clearly not yet recovering from the shock

"The longbowmen of the guards are out!"

The fat man commanded to the cavalry behind him. The 2,000 Thorn Tile Longbowmen of the Imperial Guard Legion, armed with a 2-meter giant bow, crossed the War Horse Mountain and lined up in four formations, lined up on the high part of the mountain, and with the command, the two-meter longbow was supported by an arm as thick as an ordinary person's thigh. Slowly raised a forty-five degree angle towards the tense Gangnon infantry formation below,

The "cluck" tensed longbow string slowly pulled to the maximum, and the steel arrowhead with a blood groove was raised in unison, flashing with a faint white light that belonged to cold metal

"What's the situation?"

The following Gang Fei defense master Fraternity Kasa has been nervous and trembling, the number of the opponent's cavalry exceeded 10,000 people, murderous, although the temporary arrangement worked, but after all, the strength was not concentrated, once the other party launched a full impact, the loss of this side was definitely more than three times that of the other party, and now I can only hope that the other party was frightened by his own temporary arrangement, the other party's cavalry did not move for a long time, but a part of the cavalry got down from the standing horse and became a foot archer,

"Is this going to attack?" Fraternity Kasa unconsciously twitched the corners of his eyes, his nervous palms were beads of sweat, and at this moment, a sound as fast as a torrential rain hitting the ground sounded neatly,

Jump, jump, jump, the Falcon Army's attack began, and the rumored Falcon armor-piercing arrows flew into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the black pressure was overwhelming. Like a swarm of locusts bursting out of the edge of the forest, the white cold clusters cut a sharp and graceful white line from the hilly terrain on their flank. Quickly leap over a staggering 200 meters,

"It's ......" The tragic scene, the eyes of the fraternity Kassar who saw it were about to burst out, the white light struck, and the gang non-infantry flew out backwards as if they had been impacted, and a thick cluster of arrows shot through his chest, even if there was a shield, it was useless, the arrow cluster shot through the shield, and even the people who were castrated flew out together, countless points of blood light accompanied by the crisp sound of broken muscles and bones, and the screams of the deceased before death were terrifying, and the top troops that had made the entire Ikadivar continent army frightened burst out like a storm at this moment,

After several rounds of continuous shooting, the non-infantry formation directly seemed to be cut off.

"Attention! The enemy cavalry is starting to kill!" shouted the various phalanxes of Gangfei, "Hold your ground and don't retreat!" The earth trembled violently under his ears.

The soldiers' hearts were pounding with nervousness, and even their hands were trembling! Two hundred meters! One hundred and fifty meters, the cavalry rushed to the battle, so close that you could clearly see the white snorting of the war horses, and the dust that rushed to the sky choked the soldiers to breathe. It was expected that in less than ten seconds, the two armies would collide violently

"Stand Firm, Ready"

The sharp shouts of the non-gang officers resounded through the formation, thousands of spears pointed at each other, and the soldiers held their breath and waited for the "stab" command.

In an instant, the black cavalry cluster in front of him suddenly turned at the same time, and the momentum of rushing forward had changed to the left.

The war horse passed through like a storm, and the dust rolled up made Gang Feiren unable to even open his eyes, and such a skillful horse skill was so neat and uniform. Such a crisp and sharp movement stunned all the officers and soldiers who felt like leaves in front of the storm, and ten minutes later, the smoke and dust subsided, and the black god-like iron cavalry disappeared

"The enemy has withdrawn?" the soldiers looked at the horse's buttocks, which were not visible in the distance. Completely stupid, I don't know whether to laugh or cry

"Looks like we've won?" "The dead soldier sat on the ground in disbelief, his hand holding the spear was full of sweat, and the beads of sweat on his face had already turned into a big face in the dust, "My lord, the enemy has withdrawn! We have won!" The adjutant ran over and cheered at the fraternity Casa, who had already drawn his sword in his hand and was ready to die at any time, just like him. The cheering voice of the 60,000 Gangfei soldiers shook the entire hill and rumbled, "Oops, I'm scared to death! Is this being ignored? Who is the commander of the other party!" Fraternity Kasa turned his head to order to the adjutant behind him, and his heart was a little complacent. You see, the black-armored cavalry who was blown into the sky by other colleagues was actually scared away by himself!" "My lord, our army has lost 1,100 soldiers. Thirty-four wounded!" "What? so many!" Fraternity Kasa looked at the battle damage report in his hand, and couldn't believe it, the other party only launched a few rounds of arrow attacks, and took more than a thousand lives from his side. What a terrible battle force this is!" My lord, are we going to move on?" a dusty infantry regiment commander approached him, "Huh, forward?" Fraternity Kasa withdrew his gaze from the battle damage report and stood up. patted the ash on his body, and his eyes suddenly paused, Well, no, the enemy's cavalry troops appeared here, why didn't I have any report from the scout!" Thinking of this, Fraternity Casa shook his head

There is definitely a problem there, if it wasn't for the temporary arrangement by himself, there would have been a danger of annihilation just now

But why did the other side ambush itself here, so why did they evacuate without even engaging in a formal battle? The direction in which the other side evacuated...... It's the direction of the Bawuen Fortress!

This thought made Boai Kasa suddenly feel his scalp explode, and the battle damage report in his hand slipped from between his sluggish fingers to the ground, and the other party was either evacuating, but directly raiding the fortress! Because the vast majority of the troops were mobilized to attack, the troops left behind in the fortress of Bawuen were not even 3,000 people, thinking of the enemy cavalry that was like a black line all over the ground just now, Boai Kasa felt that the blood in his whole body was about to solidify, "Quick, the whole army immediately set off and return to the fortress!" He shouted in a hysterical voice almost frantically, and there was a smell of despair in his tone, the other party did not want to fight with him, but there was no need to fight with him at all! At this time, Fraternity Casa really wanted to shout, "If you have the ability, come and fight with me! What kind of ability is it to fight the fortress!"

On the side of the fortress of Barn,

Because of the evacuation of the Falcon Army outside the city, the sentries sat listlessly chatting at the head of the city, and no one noticed that it was in the dense forest 200 meters from the fortress. A white light was coming rapidly, "What sound?" A sentry vaguely heard something, stood up curiously, leaned out half of his body and looked at the sky, "Enemy...... Enemy ......" His voice had not yet fully come out, like a void blade attacking in the cold night, his body burst with blood, and countless arrows had fallen rapidly from the sky at the same moment, like starlight bursting out of the darkness, poof! poof!" The arrow cluster hit the flesh, and the terrible projectile even made the arrow victim clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in his body, and the flesh was splashed, and the optical fiber was slightly glowing with white light. The blood light accompanied the crisp sound of broken bones and bones, "Enemy attack!" A few minutes later, a terrible and miserable cry sounded from the fortress walls, and under the city walls, a group of black cavalry galloped towards the city gate,

"Quick, pull up the drawbridge!" the officer above shouted in a panic, loudly ordering the soldiers to pull the winch, and the fortress suspension bridge suspended by metal iron cables rattled and slowly lifted up,

Beneath the wall, the captain of the longbow, who was in charge of the blockade, let go of his hand pulling the bowstring, and the powerful longbow and arrow cluster struck directly at a soldier who was pulling the winch, and the soldier flew backwards as if he had been hit, and a thick cluster of arrows pierced through his chest, piercing his body and nailing it firmly to the winch, "Ah!" The soldier cried out in pain, covered in blood, and his hands struggled to grip the piercing shoulder, and collapsed!" Another cluster of arrows entered his neck from the left side, the white tail of the arrow trembling at his throat. His pain stopped abruptly, his hands and feet hung limply, and his knees fell to the ground

"Oh!" the other soldiers who pulled the winch ran backwards in fright,

The drawbridge that had just been pulled up smashed down hard, and the black-armored cavalry speeding up the bridge below cut the cable

"Attack with all your might!" The fat man saw the guards cavalry as an assault team cut the drawbridge, and violently pulled out his war knife, countless black-armored guards cavalry flew out from the forest position, and the sparse shooting in the direction of the fortress could not stop the guards from approaching the city wall, and the two thousand longbowmen below were also making the defenders fall in pieces,

The guards took off the hook from their horses and threw it from the bottom of the wall to the inside of the wall, the metal barb bounced a puff of dust, and with a pull of their hands, the hook that fell firmly hung on the solid battlement.

"Stop them with all your might!" the Gallic soldiers above stabbed their spears on the heads of the people below in a panic,

The Imperial guards climbing below grabbed the opponent's spear and pulled it down, swooping down on the momentum, slashing fiercely. The light of the sword like snow made the Gangfei soldiers above turn over, and an hour later, the Gangfei military flag was cut down from the fortress of Bawuni, an important town in the south, (to be continued......
