2094 The Empire Strikes Back (9)
On the northern border of Rayla, the sky is not yet bright, the crystal clear early morning white dew is still condensed in the grass stems and leaves, like a white water belt flowing on the ground, the Hungarian Daxiang Wuya, who has not slept all night, is standing in the military tent of the Hungarian Western Army base camp, his cold face is full of haggardness, only a pair of eyes shine like starlight,
In front of him, a dazzling map of the situation hangs, filled with red and blue. It shows the current confrontation between the Western Army and the Rayla Army, the red is the Hungarian Army, like a red wide side, almost completely covering the edge line of the Ray La Army representing the blue, it can be seen from the map that the Western Army is not all sitting and watching the Eastern Army during this time, the Western Army is also fighting, but the scale of this battle is still limited to the competition for one place and one city, but the advantage of the Western Army's medical record has been fully revealed, the number of 300,000 Western Army is really more than the number of people on the opposite side, but the 110,000 Rayla Army is too much" To contain the main force of Rayla with superior forces, we only need to wait for the Eastern Army to attack the north, and then we can form an internal and external encirclement situation in one fell swoop, and then we will be able to win a battle at that time."
Talking about this, even if a Hungarian soldier is grabbed from the camp casually, he can say such a thing, it is precisely because of this idea that the Western Army, who is willing to contribute to the battle, everyone thinks that Rayla is already poor enough to enter the alley, Rayla has become the current situation, it has indeed reached the end of the mountain and water, the south was swept into a blank land by the Eastern Army, and the prosperous king was wantonly plundered and destroyed by the remnants of the Hungarian army, and it has been fought to this Cheng dù, according to the consistent temperament of the Rayla people, this battle is a battle to the death! Whoever pounces on the two sides of the war will be bitten desperately by the other side! The entire western Hungarian army is waiting, waiting to see when the eastern army will advance north, everyone thinks that the defeat of the opposite Ruila army is decided, and now it is just a matter of how to grab more loot, and Ruila is like a huge prey on the verge of death, and everyone is waiting for it to collapse
But just yesterday. The situation suddenly became weird,
Last night, Wuya was pulled out of the bed of the Hun concubine by the adjutant adjutant, and the emergency report in front of him made the Hun Ya minister, who was still immersed in the fragrance of beauty, break out in a cold sweat on his spine, how could it be, even if hundreds of reports on emergency backup were placed in front of him in such a realistic way, he couldn't believe it. The troops closest to the border line of the western army of Hungary will invariably send a report calling for help, there are battles in the war, there are requests for help, and there are routs, which is nothing, but if the length of this fully shaken border line is fifty miles, it is enough to make people feel incredible,
The eyebrows of the big black tooth were tightly twisted together. There was a sound of broken footsteps outside the tent door behind him,
He turned around, his bloodshot eyes and looked at the attendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion who walked in behind him. Ning Sheng asked, "Lilar, have you figured out the situation ahead? What is the matter with the all-out counterattack of the Ryla mentioned in the reports of the various armies? The Ryla have such a force!"
"I'm sorry, not yet, it happened too suddenly. The intelligence side can't react at all!" "The Lilar attendant is over forty years old, with short thick black hair, and his eyes are shining like brilliance, and the corners of his mouth are slightly disdainful about the confusion of the Hun Tooth Minister, and he explained, "But the Captain doesn't have to worry too much, even in the heyday of Rella, he definitely does not have such strength! Fifty miles long, if you want to launch a full-scale attack, you need to invest at least more than 200,000 troops."
"According to the current remnants of the Rayla people, this is absolutely impossible! Ran chose to take the initiative to attack, if his subordinates guessed correctly, this is a sign that the Rayla army wants to withdraw from the northern front!"
The middle-aged attendant officer Lilar spoke calmly, not at all like an ordinary attendant officer, more like a battle-hardened general, this person is a member of the Hungarian military heavy general, because of the pressure of the faction, and finally put into the black tooth tent, for this person's ability, Wuya is very clear, this is a battlefield general, when it comes to command ability, it can also be ranked in the top five among the Hungarian generals, if it is not because of a certain mishandling, so that the military minister Bai Dulasu has an opinion in his heart, and he has been stoned by other peers, how can there be one of the six armies of the military minister's mansion。
"If it's an evacuation, then it's more explainable!"
Wuya took a deep breath, his face finally loosened a little, it should be that he has too much heart, the Eastern Army on the side of the military minister Bai Dulasu, like a bamboo, took the south of Rayla in one fell swoop, and has already suppressed the reinforcements of the southern border army of Rayla and the Falcon Empire, once the strategy of going north to converge is successful, Rela is the thing in the Hungarian tooth sac, and the main force of the Falcon Empire is still contained in Gangfei, even if it is not good and is swallowed up by the Falcon Empire, the main force of the Imperial Army that has returned to the army, and the battlefield of full aid should also be the crumbling south! Is it really that I am too careful?
Even so, there was always a bad feeling lingering in his heart, that feeling reminded him of hunting when he was young, and he was chased by a huge white rhinoceros in the wilderness for more than ten miles. As the Hungarian minister who controls the country's government affairs, and now he is the commander of the 300,000 Western Army, the one with the highest voice in the future new Hungarian king, he knows that every moment, he is in the midst of being peeped at by other people's ambitions, this feeling, he is used to it, but tonight, this feeling is strong and seems to be about to make a silent chirp, as if it is reminding something violently!
In the early hours of the morning, the more accurate news came, Daxiang Wuya stood up from his seat, his face was pale, and a gorgeous wine glass inlaid with rubies was being grasped in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a bang, and the red wine inside was spilled on the ground, making the ruby wine glass look like it was stained with blood, and the 30,000 steps of the left-wing Batu Department had been defeated in last night's attack! This news is like a slap in the face, which woke up the prime minister, this joke is too big, can the left wing of 30,000 people be defeated in one fell swoop overnight, or is it a precursor to the other party's retreat?
It's an offense, a real offense!
He immediately asked for Lilar, handed the battle report to Lilar, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still think it is a precursor to retreat?"
Lilar was silent, he heard the news of the defeat of the Batu tribe, although the combat power of the clan army where the Batu tribe was located was not strong, but it was also 30,000 living people, and the other party could defeat it in one fell swoop. prove that the number of troops invested is definitely more than that,
"I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Western Army, and then mobilize 40,000 archers from the base camp for you, and while the opponent's foothold is not stable, you must concentrate on recapturing the left flank!
His military ability is average, but he also knows that if the flank of the battle line is breached, it is basically equivalent to the entire front being under the enemy's attack. No one likes to expose their abdomen to other people's sharp blades, and the most important thing is that once this news spreads to other tribes, the military heart is shaken, and it takes two months for them to finally gather together with interests as beliefs, and there is a danger of falling apart! If it really comes to fighting to the death, it is difficult to say, after all, the Western Army is only a combination of armies of various ethnic groups, not a regular army like Baidulasu
Lilar nodded. Accepting this order, the Hungarian general also felt a sense of confusion in his heart about last night's misjudgment, could it really be an attack? Is it his own misjudgment? Okay. Even if it is an attack, what kind of force can crush the 70,000 men on the left flank in one fell swoop, although the main combat power of the Western Army is not strong. However, it is not an easy task to be able to defeat 30,000 men in one night with a strong attack line! He set out with 40,000 Hun cavalry mobilized from the Hungarian base camp, and the killing of all the troops on the road was increased to the extreme. At this time, I can't care about the size of the movement,
"My lord, the advance of our army has arrived at the Kysez outpost"
Hearing the report from the Scout Captain, Lillard looked away from the map in his hand. The square face with a brown beard nodded in satisfaction. In a hurry, he finally arrived before the enemy could disperse through the breach, and he stopped his horse, and the cool evening air came to his face.
In the distance, the mountains spread out layer by layer, and the ancient trees and vines of the nearby mountains and forests flew away, and Lilar tightened the reins of his horse, and he admitted that when a few hours ago, when he heard the news that 30,000 men on the left flank had been defeated, he was almost shocked into a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the already breathless Ruila army would still have such crazy courage, and in the case of insufficient troops, take the initiative to provoke and tear a corner of the opponent's defense line, this is not strategy and tactics, let alone victory, this is suicide!
Unless, defeating the Batu Department is not a crazy move, but a precursor to a larger offensive, using the Batu Defense Area as a breakthrough point, using a larger influx of troops, tearing apart the flank of the entire Hungarian Western Front, and then truly sweeping the entire Western Front! It's been deduced over and over again in my head, and it's not true. However, every qiē on the combat map is telling him that the Batu defense area is the highest area on the left flank, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and as long as this gap is always there, the army on the opposite side can continue to drive in until it reaches the strength to tear the entire left flank apart.
The situation is strict, he didn't dare to have any more hesitation, and immediately ordered the loss of the troops to go to the Batu defense area, there is no time to wait for the armies of other tribes, how much can he go, he can get back the lost gap in advance, and he can strangle the dangerous situation, the enemy who made this plan is very bold, once he really gains a foothold in the gap, for the threat of the entire western front, the worst can also contain half of the strength of the Hungarian Western Army, reduce the pressure on the front of the Rayla, and achieve a kind of " "It's a pity, your luck ends here! With my Lilar here, how can you sit back and watch this battle succeed!" "Forward, go all out!"
He shouted loudly, and the hooves of the 40,000 Hun archers flew and rolled forward, and a heroic spirit of pointing at the enemy stood up!
The horse's hooves trampled over the soft grass, and a group of cavalry slowly appeared on a hillside not far away, and one of the young men wearing wolf's head and shoulder armor stopped his horse on the hillside, and the golden sun shone on the young man's face, 'with a somewhat delicate face revealing an indescribable fierceness, and a wild nature that made people's hearts palpitate,
Behind him, there were more than a dozen generals of the grassland Xiting wearing well-dressed cavalry chain mail, the young man stared at the Hun cavalry rolling below and rushing past like a tide, none of the generals behind were born, like a wolf king in front, and the wolves behind could only bow their heads and obey orders, "This is the Hun people who migrated from the northern steppe more than a hundred years ago?"
The gaze of young people. The corners of his mouth were cold, "It's too weak, it's just looking for death, such a large army marches, not to mention the momentum, even the scouts are only released for ten miles, and they only know how to take the big road to explore, and they have long forgotten that the vast grassland is the most terrible sinking and floating killing machine, can the eagle that leaves the grassland still be regarded as an eagle?"
"Order the army to gather and the hunt begins!" said the young man, raising his hand
"Yes!" a general of the Western Court removed the compound bow from his back. A visible fanged arrow flew into the sky, and a large black cavalry began to appear from three directions, and even showed a large melodious shadow on the horizon ahead, and at this time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves could be clearly heard in the Rillard, who was marching towards the so-called gap,
The large black shadows that continued to appear from three directions made his pupils constrict.
"It's!"
Lilar looked stunned, even incredulous. The other party actually divided his troops to surround him, which made him angry, what are you kidding, he is 40,000 archers. Even if it was a melee fight, it was 40,000 cavalry, and the other side regarded himself as something, dividing his troops and encircling them! This is too humiliating.
"Forward, melee charge!"
Lilar drew his saber, and both sides were cavalry. And the opponent's strength is unknown, he is the side that is surrounded, once he is entangled, he is dead, and stubbornly using a bow is stupid, and opening a gap as quickly as possible is the best way to defeat this three-sided encirclement
The black cavalry on the opposite side was also speeding up, and the thunderous sound of hooves made the ground shake slightly. "Forward, Immortal Heaven!" a huge shout suddenly burst into the sky, and the black-pressed cavalry was rapidly approaching, like a dazzling band of light, it was a cloud of killing, a cold flash of steel and thousands of surging out! The horse's hooves quickly shook the dirt on the ground, like several huge rolling dragons
"Immortal Heaven?" Lilar's face was stunned for a moment, the strange pronunciation of the other party reminded him of a prayer that has been passed down for generations in the clan, and at the moment he was stunned, he suddenly felt the sky above his head darken, and when he raised his head, he saw the overwhelming cold light pouring down like a torrential rain,
At this moment, the pupils of all the Hun cavalry who were charging forward diated several times, the archers! The other party is the archers! Bastard, misjudgment! Lilar has an urge to vomit blood, he was deceived by the momentum of the opponent's armored and spear-clad and blood-red, iron-faced melee cavalry, no wonder, 30,000 people of the Batu Department will be defeated overnight, if the other party is also an archer, it is completely possible to rely on the numerical advantage, so that the Batu Department has no strength to fight back, and the cold light is getting bigger and bigger, until it turns into a rain of death, snapping "sharp arrows" The sound of shooting through his body filled his eardrums, like a crackling lotus leaf that was beaten in a rainstorm, the shooting of the steppe rangers was extremely strong, not to mention tens of thousands of strong bows that suddenly opened, under such dense saturation coverage, the Hun cavalry with arrows in the middle of the arrow seemed to have suffered a black baptism, and the cavalry on horseback was full of arrow clusters, and his body rolled off the horse in an unnatural posture.
"Kill!"
In the earth-shattering shouts of the cavalry on both sides, the cavalry of both sides approached at an incredibly high speed like a rolling wave! The dense snow bright scimitar, the hideous face of the cavalry on the horse, the white gas spewed out of the horse's nostrils, the soldiers and horses galloped forward, like a storm, like a hurricane, with a dense formation to kill the impact, more Kugit rangers galloping from the side of the impact point, the underworld opened the powerful compound bow in his hand, and there was a dense sound of bowstrings fluttering like wasp wings fluttering in the air, overwhelming feather arrows were scattered, the war horse galloped, and the archer on the horse leaned back on the horse, forming a strange balance point
Horse archery is a kujit skill that even children learn at the age of three with a small toy bow.
"Eat them!
The young man looked at the prey struggling in the encirclement with cold eyes, and watched the war horse crash into the opponent's archer group like a cluster of arrows, countless blades swung, spears, scimitars, and hammers, slashing and smashing in the impact. There was a bloody hole in the mouth of the bowl, or the head with a fur hat was smashed into a rotten watermelon, and they fell from their horses one after another. People turn on their backs, blood splatters,
Seeing that the front end of the opposing cavalry charging formation was defeated, the killing line surrounded on three sides made the opposing cavalry fall off their horses one after another, the opponent's ability to charge and kill in close combat was really not very good, after a few collisions, the array was overturned, the corpses rolled, some people who did not die begged and screamed, although they could not get up, begging for their lives, their cavalry still mercilessly slashed them from head to shoulder,
In this battle, 90,000 steppe cavalry ambushed 40,000 Hun cavalry, and if one Hun man slipped away, it would be a great shame for himself! (To be continued......
