2166 Blood Double Cross (25)
The torrent of rain generally hit the city gates, and in the rain curtain, the crowded and clogged Nullen gates were mixed with all kinds of noise, "Get out of the way, back off!" shouted the garrison
"Hit him, hit him" The nobles chased after the guards at the city gate, and the civilians around them also complained. Why only drive us away, not the nobles, at this moment, a terrible shout suddenly sounded, "Enemy attack!" This sharp and frightened voice was like a high-pitched note that broke through the environment, and everyone's eardrums were shaken
"Enemy attack?" The chaos around him was paused for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter, and even the nobles who were chasing the city gate guards also stopped, enemy attack?, enemy attack on your sister, you actually thought of using this method to rescue the city gate guards, when everyone is stupid! Someone shouted, "The enemy is still attacking Helena, even if he grows wings to fly, he can't catch up with Nuren now!" There are also people laughing, it's so funny, even Gledat, who is walking towards this side, can't recognize the laughter, talent, it's really witty, the person who shouts the enemy attack at this time is definitely talent, such a person is too condescending to be a small soldier,
But soon. An alarm sound came from a distance and all the laughter rang out, "When!when!" It was an old watchtower set up high above the city wall, and there was an alarm bell hanging on the watchtower, and the bell from the watchtower was ringing fatally, and the frightened pigeons flew around, as if they had been set on fire, "What's going on? It can't be a real enemy attack!" Gledat's body shuddered. He stopped, his face suddenly turned ugly, "Watch ahead." Enemy cavalry!" shouted the guards above the city gates, and there was chaos above the city courtyard, with soldiers running back and forth, archers carrying a cartridge of arrows to the tower. "Mom, it's really an enemy attack!" The people at the city gate exploded, and the flow of people congested at the city gate suddenly poured back, and everyone was running into the city. Because there are too many people, and it's messy. The soldiers at the gate who were trying to merge the city gates were scattered,
"Quick, close the gates!"
Gledat shouted loudly and ordered the guards to rush forward and help the garrison close the gates. The number of aristocratic carriages staggered together, lying horizontally at the city gate, the gate could not be closed at all, and on the suspension bridge outside, there was a whole row of carriages, the metal chains of the suspension bridge had been stretched straight, and the suspension bridge was still not moving, bastard, Gledat scolded angrily. At this moment, I even have the heart to kill,
If he had known that the enemy would come so soon, he would have ordered to kill a few people and clear the city gates. Now, when the enemy is pressing, Nuren is in a situation where the gate is all open, although the carriage can play a role in blocking the opponent's direct rush, but the other party also only needs to hold the carriage, so that Nulun's gate cannot be closed. This is what the other side should be fighting, and the cavalry is just the vanguard. Even if he can launch a charge, he will not be able to complete the occupation of Nuren, but if he can always ensure that the city gate cannot be closed, as soon as the main infantry of the other side arrives, Nuren will be a fish to be slaughtered, not that Gledat has no confidence in the defenders, but he is a little afraid
"Bastard!" Gledat's face was hideous, gritted his teeth, he hurriedly stepped forward, pulled out his sharp long sword with a bang, and personally rushed towards the city gate, a Fesan soldier who escaped from the city gate was slashed to the ground by his sword, and the people around him were frightened, Gledat shouted hoarsely, "Everyone follow me, if you don't want to die, you must close the city gate!"
No matter what the cost, the gates must be closed, that's what Gledat thinks
The enemy's cavalry arrived at Nuren so quickly, proving that Helena Fortress is finished, Helena Fortress has a full five thousand people, all of them are well-equipped regular troops, even if they are not rescued in time, they should not even hold on for a morning, so it can be seen how terrible the enemy army is this time, the cavalry is only the vanguard, the real strength of the attack is the infantry, a strong fortress like Helena can not hold out for a morning, and it is even more impossible for Nulen, who was only five or six thousand people left by himself, and now the city gate is wide open, just wait for death!
"Assault!" On the opposite side, the galloping cavalry approached quickly, a sword light tore through the white rain curtain, the cavalry swooping like a flock of black eagles, the sound of neatly drawing out the war knife, and at the same time came from the opposite side, like a burst of torn cracked cotton, in the wind and rain, suddenly there was a sense of penetration of blood drinking, holding a uniform speed of war horses to rush into formation, like a hurricane carrying the wind and rain, rushing to the head and head, boom" The horse's hooves lifted up the broken earth on the ground, and the rolling sword light was like a river of light in the rain, and the horses' hooves roared, and the earth trembled, like a huge avalanche, and by the arc of the slope, the cavalry group rushed up to the Nuren drawbridge like a knife, "Hurry"
The faces of the Feishan soldiers at the gate of the city were all white with fright, and they were still trying to pull the carriage, and the lightning-like black cavalry struck by them like a hurricane, with a sharp sword in their hands, with a hint of cold, and with a slight stroke of the Feishan people's stunned neck, the head of the big man was slashed into the air by a sharp blade, bringing up a bloody stain that rushed into the sky, and the horse's hooves rolled in, "Kill!" Gledat's guards also rushed up, and the two sides collided violently together, "Bump" The Fishan soldiers were like remnants of leaves that were rolled up in the storm, and they were knocked out by the galloping war horses, and the cavalry spears stabbed fiercely, and the blood shot out, and the spears of the Fishan soldiers also stabbed into the horses of the imperial cavalry with the sound of the wind, and the horses neighed, and the knights on them were covered in blood and flipped off the horses.
More infantry also rushed over, including many hoplites wearing heavy armor, the fierce shouts of killing resounded through the city gate, the Fei shan soldiers struggled to withstand the impact of the imperial cavalry, in a blood red, the carriage blocking the city gate was being pulled away little by little, but more black cavalry swords also attacked at the same time, the most fierce conflict between the two sides was the carriage, which was completely stained red with blood, many imperial cavalry jumped from the war horse to the carriage, and fought hard to kill the barrel with the cavalry spear in their hands, bright red blood. It's like water squeezed out when a pipe bursts. The fallen corpse felt like wheat stubble cut by a huge scythe in late autumn. Stacked on top of each other into a stack.
"Resist, never retreat!"
"Kill. Kill forward!"
The two sides were already in a state of complete frenzy, and Gledat himself was supervising the battle in the back, holding the long sword, and when he saw the people running behind, he was confronted with a sword, and the sharp blade completely stabbed into the body, and blood splattered on the ground of the city gate. The Fishan archers above the city gate could no longer care whether they were their own people or enemies below, and shot down in one go.
"Withdraw!"
The Imperial cavalry, feeling hopeless of capture, began to retreat, and in a short encounter, more than a hundred brave Imperial cavalry were killed, and the losses of the Nuren defenders were even greater. There were more than three hundred people, so many corpses, crowded at the Nuren gate, almost piled up around the carriage, bloody, severed limbs, Faisan soldiers holding weapons, gasping for breath in their mouths, the enemy was too terrible. Rushing up is not afraid of death, and in the case of occupying a defensive advantage, the battle loss ratio has also reached three to one. If you really let all the cavalry rush into the city gate, it will be impossible to stop all the death, watching the enemy slowly retreat from the distance, as soon as everyone stops now, they immediately feel like their whole body is scattered, and the air in their lungs is squeezed clean
Hot breathing. The mouth and nose are full of blood,. Gledat heard the soldiers next to him also like himself, a heavy breathing sound, as if the drum was broken and the drum was beating,
The soldiers tried their best to pull the carriage away, and the city gate slowly closed, and the soldiers staggered to the ground, and finally closed.
"Vomit" Some people bent over violently and vomited, although it was the Feishan border guards, but some of them were city garrisons, where had they encountered such a terrible scene like Shura's hell, even some veterans could still keep their composure, and their faces would not be good to see there, the short confrontation, the ferocity of the enemy gave them a deep impression, "My lord, this doesn't seem to be the costume of the Istanbul army!" When Gledat's adjutant was cleaning up, he found that the armor of these enemy cavalry killed in battle was all black, and there was a sign of a white thorn flower on his chest, a thorn flower, which was the mark of the Falcon Empire's Central Army, and on the corpses of some of the dead war horses, a weapon like a curved bow was found, "Of course this is not the Istanbul cavalry, this is the Falcon Imperial cavalry!" Gledat picked up an imperial crossbow, his pupils constricted, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling tone,
The moment he saw the Imperial Crossbow, his first reaction was, was he dazzled, how could the Falcon Imperial cavalry kill from the eastern province of the Istans, and the second reaction was that things were big deals, if it was not the Istans who captured Helena Fortress, but the Falcon Empire that had already made the Faysan Kingdom do its best to deal with it,
Then after two fronts on the coast and in the Bavaried region, the emperor ** Breaking through from the Eastern Province, the meaning is even more worthy of making people tremble, it is definitely a sword from the back to seal the throat, Fei Shan's military strength is now almost all pressed on the front two fronts, where is there still the strength to deal with the attack from the Eastern Province, and the Falcon Empire is killed from the Eastern Province of the Iraqns, plus the Falcon Empire's Navy Minister recently made a surprise visit to Kyoto where the Islamic Empire entered, such a situation is too easy to make people think that the two empires have joined forces to strangle Fei Shan!" Report the situation as quickly as possible, Falcon Emperor** Breaking through from the direction of the Eastern Province, Helena's fortress has fallen into the hands of the enemy!" Gledat bit his lip with a resolute face, and handed the imperial crossbow in his hand to the adjutant, "Submit this with the report! Be sure to send it to the base camp within two days" "Camp on the spot"
Jussikai stared at the city wall in the distance, and waved his hand to the herald cavalry behind him a little unwillingly, the army fought fiercely for a day, and encountered such a heavy rain, the failure of the city gate raid did not have a great impact on the entire battle situation, the infantry cluster of the Imperial Central Army arrived in the evening, at this time, the rain was heavier, like a crazy wild horse sweeping, pounced on the face and hurt, like countless white lines hit the earth full of holes, the ground turned into mud under the erosion of the rain, it seems that the will of God is so, the emperor ** The team set up tents in the clearing, the soldiers were busy carrying supplies in the rain, and Gledat on the city wall looked coldly at the spears of the black army in the distance, and took a deep breath of the air with the freshness of the raindrops, "It's okay, the city gate is closed."
The battle is because of this rain. It's obscured and hard to see, like two players alternating cards, and the empire seems to have the upper hand. But at this moment. He also had to give his opponent a breather, and the same raindrops were hitting the windowsill of King Fesan's room at the moment. It was white outside the window. King Faisan, who was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looked a lot haggard, and there was no longer a single black white silk like autumn frost on his temples, and his gaze on the map was like a hunter looking for a lair of his prey, from the confrontation with the Falcon Empire to the present. Fei Shan's situation is getting more and more difficult, and he can't defeat 100,000 emperors in a short period of time. In the face of the full pressure of the empire, the weakness of the army began to appear, and the strength of Fei San's country carried the Iranian Empire. Against the Falcon Empire, which is in full swing, there is no room for Fei Shan's national strength, and the destruction of the domestic economy by months of war, and the impact on agricultural production, are making the old man feel increasingly deprived and powerless, "My Fei Shan's rise to strength, twenty years of painstaking arrangements, is this the case!" An inexplicable thought flashed through King Fei Shan's mind. The hand pressed on the map couldn't help but tighten, and the body of more than sixty people didn't know if it could hold out until the end of the war. His heir is afraid that he is not the opponent of the falcon! So no matter how difficult the situation is, there is no turning back. Either win the war and force the Falcon Empire to negotiate, or, if the war is lost, Fessan becomes a vassal of the Falcon Empire, just like the Central European Barrow countries.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, it was Batton, who was presiding over the battle on the coast. The eyes of this famous general Feishan turned red, the big war is imminent, the pressure in the coastal direction is the greatest, although the Bavaried Mountains are the largest number of troops, but most of Feishan's troops are also there, but in the coastal direction, after losing nearly 100,000 troops in two legions, 100,000 emperors on the opposite side ** Coupled with the remnants of more than 100,000 Iranian troops, more than 200,000 troops are ready to go, taking advantage of them, and the strength of Fei Shan's side, after several battles, is 1670,000 people, and the gap in strength has to make Fei San change from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and the entire kingdom painstakingly arranged a two-month counterattack plan, which was also abruptly stopped because of the intervention of the emperor.
Turning from an advantage to a disadvantage, this is a heavy blow to the morale of the Faisan army on the coast, "Your Majesty!" Barton straightened up, put his hands on his chest, and bent down to salute King Fissan "You are here" King Faisan gestured to him and asked, "How is the situation on the coast, have you found the movement of the Imperial Navy?"
"Not yet," Barton replied with a bow of his head, "Emperor** The coast has been completely blocked, especially in the port, and a very strict investigation has been carried out, as long as our army's eyeline is mixed in, it will be immediately found out by the patrol, and according to the news, the main force of the Imperial Navy has been transferred to Triland Island, and our people have no way at all, and the Imperial Army, this time has been much calmer, most of the operations are in charge of the Islamic Army, and the Islamic Empire does not seem to be very willing to become cannon fodder of the Falcon Empire, so in most cases, it is thunder and rain, and tens of thousands of people are fighting, and they are only evacuated in a panic after the loss of one or two hundred people”
"So, until now, I don't know the movements of the main forces of the Imperial Navy?"
King Fesan sat down in his seat, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, and said in a condensed voice, "The sudden disappearance of several detachments of the Imperial Navy some time ago has always given me a bad premonition, if it is to threaten the Iranians, the Imperial Navy should sail openly, so as to be able to serve the purpose of deterrence, so sneaky departure, and accompanied by a large number of transport ships, is it a long voyage? This is the headache, there are a large number of transport ships, the Falcon Emperor** The threat suddenly changed from a fixed point to a landing operation that could be carried out in any area of the coastline, that is simply from a point, to a difference in the surface, the Fishan coast is full of loopholes for the Imperial Navy, in order to avoid losses, we have to order the closure of some coastal ports that are still under control, and no ships are allowed to go to sea! But this situation can't last long, because winter is coming, if you can't get enough aquatic products before the winter freezes the sea, the food gap this winter can no longer be filled, which will mean that a large number of Faisan civilians will starve to death this winter!" "I don't care what method you use, you must do your best to find the movement of the Imperial Navy, this is an urgent matter related to the lives of countless Feishan!" King Feishan tapped his fingers on the table, and shook his head with a blue face, "Yes, my subordinates understand!" Barton replied with an embarrassed face, Feisan's several months of continuous war, from the Istanbul Empire to the Falcon Empire, in order to ensure military rations, has already restricted the grain trade in the market, if the fishery resources that supported one-third of the grain in previous years are lost, it will be absolutely disastrous for the current Feisan, "Your Majesty, urgent military report!" The voice of the palace attendant sounded outside the door, "Come in!" King Feishan shouted, "Your Majesty, Nuren urgent, the Falcon Emperor has been found in the direction of the Eastern Province**! Helena Fortress has fallen" The court attendant walked in with a military newspaper and whispered in front of King Faisan, the old king of Faisan took the report and paused, his wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly into a line, (to be continued)
