1960 Dawn of Empire (1)
The logistics team, composed of non-civilians, had always thought that they were at the rear of the battlefield, and when they saw the oncoming coalition cavalry, some people shouted, "No, it's my own people." Before the words were finished, this person had been swept into the galloping horses' hooves, and almost no one from the Gangfei logistics team who was the first to be impacted survived, and the rough and frantic horse's hooves trampled past them, and their bodies fell heavily into the mud under their feet, and they were trampled deeper and deeper by countless horses' hooves and human feet, and almost most of them did not have a chance to stand up, and a rigid irregular officer of the logistics team who happened to be only injured in the thigh survived for a few more minutes. He lost the ability to stand and struggled to crawl through the mud, having absolutely no idea what was going on. Isn't it the coalition forces in the front? Who is attacking, or is something else going on?
"In any case, I must stand up and see what happened, I must go back alive, my wife and twin children are still waiting at home!" The officer still couldn't get up again, his broken feet completely lost their support, and he desperately used his hands to support his upper body, and then was trampled on his back by a passing coalition officer, and the officer clearly heard the sound of his spine being completely crushed, and muddy water poured into his ears and mouth,
Captain Popas, the captain of the 5th Squadron of the Logistics Corps of the Non-Imperial Aid Coalition Army, was knocked into a nearby bush by a galloping war horse, and his right arm felt a sharp burning sensation, and the whole person lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he was surrounded by smoke and corpses. He stood up anxiously and tried to rebalance his body, and when he looked down at his body, his eyes couldn't help but fix his eyes on his right arm, and he was shocked to find that his right arm was completely bloody from the elbow down, and his muscles and muscles shrank in a coma, so that the bleeding and pain were unexpectedly much less.
"Is anyone else there?"
The officer sat down on the side of the road and screamed, and after three calls, there was a faint echo. A small figure approached timidly. Popas raised his eyebrows and saw a young man with blond messy hair and a face covered in blood and mud, but with a very young face.
"How can you be here!"
“...... I am a cadet. It was a soldier who was about to be assigned to the Fifth Infantry Regiment, and was temporarily transferred to the Logistics Regiment. ”
"Oh! How old are you?"
"In five days he will be thirteen years old. ”
"It's really the end of the world, even the children have to go to war. Popas sighed heavily, the boy had only bruises, abrasions, and minor burns, and looked at the corpses all around, and fate had really protected him.
In the smoke-filled Great Lakes region, the besieging coalition army cluster was like a collapsed anthill, the shortcomings of the coalition army's lack of unified command were completely exposed, there was no coordination between the corps and the corps, in order to grab the escape route, crowded each other, the soldiers no longer paid attention to the order, scrambled to drop their weapons, turned and fled. The tendency to collapse is like water that has opened a floodgate. Like the waves of the river, the crowd is surging, and the team behind it is suddenly overwhelmed. There was a clamor of fleeing everywhere, and the advancing coalition columns were rushed to pieces. Bai Huahua's weapons were thrown all over the place, and there were discarded flags everywhere. In the rear of the coalition army's rout, the Falcon army was methodically following up with the flag regiment as a combat unit, and the crossbow arrows were hitting the coalition army's scattered troops in pieces. Harvesting the lives of coalition soldiers like sharp knives,
"Bastards! The bullshit coalition army is simply a bunch of unworthy bastards!" the generals of Gangfei, who were still desperately advancing on the side, scolded at the rapid rout of the coalition army. The collapse of the middle line of the coalition army, directly leading the flank of the 30,000 Gang Non-Janissaries to be exposed to the full blow of the Falcon Army, the generals panicked and ordered the troops in front to withdraw, but the difficulty of withdrawing under the blow of the Falcon Army's crossbow arrow cluster was like dancing on the tip of a knife and having to rotate 720 degrees, 30,000 troops went up, and more than 3,000 people had been lost in battle when they withdrew, and they were all the most sophisticated Praetorian Guards, so they lost in vain between advancing and retreating, and the generals' hearts were bleeding,
At this time, the number of the Falcon Army was also completely exposed, like a layer of attack layers, the remnants of the Falcon Army, which originally had only 20,000 people expected by the coalition army and the Gangfei people, one team after another, were released from the lakeside area as if by magic, the battle flags were like clouds, the crossbow arrows were continuous like torrential rain and wind, and the advance of the 60,000-strong army of the empire in black armor was like a huge black expansion, like the most incredible magic, quickly crowded the eyes of the little emperor and the generals of the Gang Fei army,
"How...... How so!"
The little emperor looked at the unexpected number of Falcon troops in the distance, his eyes were stunned, his whole body swayed, his jaws were about to fall, the generals were like ashes, their mouths were open and speechless, this was Yan Zhanng's combat power assessment error, the Falcon Army in front of him did not say 20,000 people, it was more than 50,000, the generals felt cold all over their bodies, everyone thought of it for a while in an ambush, the Falcon Army evacuated to the Great Lakes region, not a desperate trick, but a typical fishing tactic, just out of sight in the past few hours, the Falcon Army has regarded its side as the Great Lakes where the Falcon Army died, as if it was arranged into a huge net,
At the moment when the coalition forces and Gangfei launched an all-out attack, the other party showed its fangs and claws, and the hunter became the prey!"Now, we must evacuate the Great Lakes region immediately!" A general eagerly said to the little emperor, "The coalition army is no longer reliable, please order the whole army to evacuate!"
"The whole army is evacuated, how should we reply to the coalition forces!" "The little emperor came back to his senses, and was a little hesitant, so he gave up the practice of ignoring the coalition forces, so that the corners of the child's mouth were a little crooked, and his lips trembled slightly, it was really too big for the little emperor this time, and now his mind was still blank,
The consequence of the fact that the rhythm that he thought he had mastered was completely out of control was that the little emperor's head was full of confusion, and he no longer knew what order to give. At this time, the generals of the Gangfei General Legion showed a very good appearance, among them there were many veterans who had been in battle for a long time, and there were also fierce generals with strong decisiveness, "In the big war, the life and death of the allies is the will of heaven, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much! We have done our best" A general of the general of the general corps shook his head,
Another general said with a grim expression, "And the appearance of the coalition army can be described as chaos. As soon as they rush up and disperse, let them stay here to attract the attention of the Falcon Army, I have a hunch that the Falcon Army's counterattack is about to be launched, this is a trap, a trap against our army, if we don't evacuate immediately, we and the coalition army will be trapped and die together in the Great Lakes region!" "The coalition army is 70,000 people, even if we suffer some losses. You can also protect yourself!"
A general echoed and said, "But our strength is less than 40,000 people, once the first to evacuate is the coalition army, we have to face the Falcon Army with superior forces to counterattack, according to the current morale and combat strength of our army, this victory is worrying, it is better to evacuate in advance, and preserving the strength of the empire is the way to protect ourselves!" "Order to evacuate!"
The words of the generals made the little emperor make up his mind, and the Gangfei army quietly left the battlefield in the chaos,
In fact, the little emperor didn't know. His decision saved the Gangfei Army once, and just moments before he gave the order to evacuate, the Dragon's Tooth warship of the Falcon Empire Navy fleet had already sailed into the flooded Biang River because it was going upstream. It took six hours for the Dragon's Tooth battleship, with its crawling oars, to reach the location of the bridge over the Byan River in complete darkness, completing the blockade of the Great Lakes, and the rapid evacuation of the Congo had just crossed the Byan Bridge half an hour earlier, and that was it. Just the non-human left the coalition troops of about 50,000 people trapped in the mud and ran away,
The scattered coalition forces only gained a foothold on the edge of the Great Lakes at dusk in the afternoon.
Coalition forces count battle damage. Suddenly I felt that things were a big deal, just an hour of confrontation was already stained, about 10,000 people of the rout did not know where to flee to, as many as 8,000 people were killed in the battle, the number of captured people was almost the same, and the behavior of the Gang Fei people to take care of themselves and evacuate from the battle greatly dampened the will of the coalition soldiers, in the understanding of the coalition soldiers, they were fighting for the Gang Fei people in this land, and as a result, the Gang Fei people ran away by themselves, this is a naked betrayal of the alliance, the generals of the coalition army are dejected one by one, the news from the Biang River, the Navy of the Falcon Army blocked the retreat from the river, that is, the road was blocked, the big reversal, the coalition forces now have no other choice but to fight to the death and surrender.
The 60,000 Falcon Army troops are like a mountain pressing in front of the coalition army, but they are not in a hurry to press in an all-round way, in terms of strength ratio, the Falcon Army is 60,000 people, and the morale is high, and the number of heavy weapons makes the coalition army's scalp numb, the coalition army strength has been weakened from 70,000 to 40,000, the morale is low, the heavy weapons are completely absent, and there is no danger to defend in the swamps of the Great Lakes region, which is waiting to be slaughtered
Early the next morning, an envoy sent by the coalition side entered the camp of the Falcon Army, a coalition general about forty years old,
"I don't think your army wants us all to die here, after all, there is not much hostility between the coalition forces and your country, this war is just a misunderstanding," the coalition general said as soon as he spoke, "and we are willing to help the Falcon Empire!"
"Misunderstanding?" Varisian raised his eyes every time, holding a water cup in his hand, and blew the bitter lion leaves on the water surface lightly, the bitter and refreshing bitter leaves are a specialty of the Dorok Mountains, because the Falcon Majesty loves to drink, it has become a high-end drink that has swept the senior generals of the Falcon Army,
The surrender of the coalition forces is inevitable, although the coalition forces have inserted a bar in this general set of wars, but considering the development of the Falcon Empire in the Central European Baro region in the future, His Majesty the Falcon is not willing to completely kill the coalition forces, if that is the case, even if the empire can hit the coalition forces of the Central European and Baro countries this time, who dares to guarantee that the Central European and Baro countries will not soon pull up the second and third Central European and Baro coalition armies, this kind of regional and cultural struggle is the most time-consuming, and the empire does not need to spend a lot of military and financial resources on such a thing!
"Gang Feiren disregarded the life and death of his allies for the sake of his own side's escape, and I am living evidence of such despicable behavior of Gang Feiren. ”
"I see, so you are preparing to surrender? Does that mean that you no longer have a union with the Gangnons?"
"Alliance?" the coalition general chuckled miserably, his voice full of sarcasm, "what a beautiful word! This word has been misused for the sake of convenience, and I believe that this war has given you an opportunity to re-evaluate the alliance, and it has been proved that some countries are not qualified to ask for the protection of other countries at all, but the efforts made by your country to protect the vassal state Putao are enough for all countries to see, an ally that will never be abandoned." And we are quite interested in many things in your country, and if possible, we hope to be able to change an ally!"
"Yes, that's good!"
Varisian nodded, during his time as head of the Putey region, he was more and more guarded by a major minister, rather than the fierce imperial generals who were known for their bravery, and he said that diplomatic circulation was sometimes more effective than direct engagement, for those who respected the empire. The Empire has always been respectful, and as for your country's requests, His Majesty Falcon has always been a very generous person!
"Then please, Your Excellency!"
The coalition general suddenly smiled, quickly got up and saluted, and came out of the Falcon Army camp, the coalition general looked at the sky above his head with a stern face, and sighed deeply, if he could form an alliance with the Falcon Empire from the north in advance, it would be equivalent to occupying a solid position in advance in the turbulence of the distribution of interests in Central Europe after the collapse of the Gangfei Empire.
In the afternoon of the next day, the report of the victory in the Great Lakes region reached the headquarters of the Falcon Army on the border, and the all-out attack launched by the Gangnons in the direction of the border had gradually stopped, and the exchange of fire between the two sides was not fierce, and the battle line that the Gangnons were pressing with all their might was already shrinking. Obviously, the news of the defeat from the Great Lakes side was also received,
The Minister of Military Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Marcos, urgently convened a military meeting and completely halted the so-called offensive, which was basically tantamount to admitting the defeat of the campaign
Because of the loss of the Great Lakes. The flanks of the Gangfei Army's defense line had lost cover, and they thought that it was the Gangfei Emperor and his Praetorian Guards who fought this time, so it was impossible for the Ministry of Military Affairs to pursue it. On the contrary, because of the early evacuation of the Gangfei Army in the Great Lakes region, tens of thousands of allied troops eventually became prisoners.
Various documents from the coalition side were sprinkled on Marcos's desk like snowflakes, and some of them were proclamations officially dissolving the alliance with Gangnon.
In the third day, the coalition side chose to evacuate the country reached four, about 11,000 coalition troops left the Baruta front, the current situation has been very clear, the Gangfei people lost the Great Lakes campaign, only less than 40,000 remnants of the army withdrew, half of the coalition troops also surrendered in the Great Lakes region, as the Falcon Empire army marched north from the Great Lakes region, the battle will completely fall on the side of the Falcon Empire, and now it is unwise to rely on the broken ship of the Gangfei Empire, at least, everyone must try their best to avoid becoming the next target of the Falcon Empire's armed retaliation。
Looking at the list of coalition countries that have evacuated the Baruta front, Marcos knows that if there are no measures that cannot be reversed, then in a few days, all the coalition forces on the Baruta front will be withdrawn, and without the support of the coalition forces, the Gangfei Empire, which has run out of gas, will be unable to cope with the strong sweep of the Falcon Empire.
The old man's eyes were black, and the hand holding the list trembled a little, the coalition army was reduced by four again, and now there are only three countries left that still have an alliance relationship with Gangfei, and the Baruta side can no longer hold on, and the Falcon Army is advancing north from the Great Lakes region, and in front of it is the main force of the Falcon Empire of as many as 200,000......
There are heavy soldiers in front, wolves in the back, and the destruction is only in the last moment, old friend, what should I do?
He rubbed his temples, there was a document in front of him, it was the text of the Istan people asking Gangfei to become a vassal state, in this text, the Istan people promised to protect the security of the Gangfei Empire, but Gangfei must take the crown of the empire, and must hand over 10 million gold coins to the suzerainty every year, and must also send troops to assist in the battle when the suzerain, if it was a year ago, Marcos would not hesitate to tear this Wenjiàn apart, but now, his hands trembled and picked up the pen...... , It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength, his thin body shook as he stood up, and suddenly, it was pitch black in front of his eyes, and the whole person fainted heavily in front of the desk, if it wasn't for the adjutant's timely discovery, he might have become the first Marshal of the Gangfei Empire to die on the desk, but at this moment, he preferred that his death would be a relief, "Does the Gangfei Empire really have the idea of claiming to be a vassal of the Istanbul Empire? Is this news reliable?"
The fat man who was squinting at the beautiful figure walking on the street outside the window, turned around from the window with some unhappiness, this is the Putao city of Van Kong, which is less than fifteen miles away from the front line, and the base camp of the Falcon Army is temporarily placed here, and the despicable behavior of the Istanbuls who went down the mountain to pick peaches made his heart angry and angry, "It is provided by the eyeliner we arranged in the Gangfei Empire, it is said that Marcos personally agreed, and the report has been submitted to the Gangfei Emperor!" Hukochili's face was not good-looking, and he said in a condensed voice" Although it is still in the stage of uncertainty, there are already some doubts in the country of Gangfei, and according to the current situation of Gangfei, this possibility is very high!""Suspend the attack and send someone to tell the Gangnon that instead of becoming a vassal of the Istan people, it is better to become a vassal of my Falcon Empire,
They must transfer the title of Emperor Gangfei, downgrade Gangfei to a kingdom, and give four of the eight southern provinces to us.
As for the old gold or something, just look at it and give it!" The fat man touched his nose in his hand, damn, we are under the pressure of the entire Central European Baro to start a war with Gangfei, and the land of hundreds of thousands of troops is dyed red, and it is about to be completed, and the Iraqins want to take it all if they want to grab it, how is this possible!" Your Majesty, what if Gangfei refuses" Hukochili asked with some uncertainty Then I will order the troops in the Great Lakes region and Baruta to fully encircle, and if I have the ability, I will let the Istan who are still in the north have not gathered troops fly over!" The corner of the fat man's mouth showed a cruel smile, "Let's see if there is an Istan standing in front of me before my army's iron hooves crush it all!" (To be continued......)
