2089 The Empire Strikes Back (4)
With the sound of the trombone, the Hun army mixed with foot and cavalry drove out continuously, the rumbling hooves and footsteps resounded throughout the land, the soldiers and horses lifted a yellow dust mist, the black array and the flying flags loomed in the dust and fog in the sky, in front of the Rayla army, I saw in the sight, countless captive Ryla slaves were driven,
Obscuring the vision, crowded with people, with no end in sight, they rushed out from the front of the Hungarian army, these Rela slaves were ragged and thin, both men and women, all had a miserable expression, and were driven and whipped by the Hungarian cavalry, pushing the shoddy attack carts, and moving forward with difficulty.
After the row, there are hundreds of long ladders made of long trunks of tree branches. These long ladders are seven or eight meters long, and the front end is just right to lean against the wall of the outpost of Figey.
It's just that these long ladders have neither weighted bases nor topmost stacking hooks. Not to mention those that have a base to push, and at first glance they are temporary items used to fill the city with cannon fodder,
Behind these poor attacking tools, there is the crowd of black oppression. Without weapons, the Rayla slaves struggled forward, many barefoot, and the ground was grinding blood, dragging out shocking blood marks.
"If you don't want to die, go forward!" The Hun cavalry carried the whip upside down, galloping back and forth on both sides of the crowd, the fierce and vicious shouting, the bullet pressure urged the Rayla slave forward, the whip in his hand waved loudly, and the head and face were beaten, regardless of men, women and children,
There were even Hun cavalrymen who raised their bows and shot an arrow through the thigh of a lame Rayla man, and watched the other party hold the position of the arrow on the ground and wail miserably.
The other Rela slaves next to him looked at this scene numbly, the ferocity of the Hun people, no one to hide and escape, this short half a month, for the entire southern Rayla. It's hell, the homeland was burned, just numb to bear, the slaves of Rayla are cannon fodder used to fill the city and the land for the Hun people, not to mention such a large number of cannon fodder, naturally to be managed by the most cruel means,
If one resists, he kills a hundred, and one place resists. In half a month, there were more than 30,000 Rayla slaves who starved to death in the hands of the Huns, and an average of one or two thousand starving corpses were dragged away every day, living in such a hell.
Every day I watched people die, and watched the murderous Hungarian cavalry, constantly grabbing people and women by the hair like cattle and snatching them from the slave camps. The slightest resistance is a massacre
Bloody human heads were brutally planted by the Huns on the wooden fences on the outskirts of the slave camp, and air-dried human skins swayed on the flagpoles for all of Ryla to know. The end of resistance, death is no longer the most terrible, but liberation,
Step by step, move forward. Nearly 100,000 Rayla slaves were overwhelmed by a large group of boundless and boundless troops. Not even a single cry or wailing could be heard.
"It's us Rayla!"
On the opposite side, the soldiers of the Ryla Army looked extremely ugly and there was a commotion. The archers who had already raised their bows and arrows in their hands, their fingers pulling the bowstring were trembling slightly, although they knew that they might face this day, but they had no choice, the Rila infantry in the front, their gaze hidden under the thick helmet, with a hint of trembling, the hand holding the spear seemed to have a thousand pounds of gravity, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads
Rayla has been squeezed by the forces of the East and the West for a hundred years, and has formed a tenacious and hard-working character.
But in the past twenty years, Rayla's military power has risen, and it seems that it is already the first power in Central Europe and Barrow, how can it ever drive the slave ants to attack the city. At war with the Falcon Empire, the requisition of the people was only used for rear transfer, and such a tragic siege method was also the first time I saw it!
In particular, the number of these Rayla slaves far exceeds the size of the 30,000 Rayla army, and there are clusters of people in front and back, I am afraid that there are not 60,000 or 70,000 people, looking at the indifferent appearance of the Hun people, it seems that even if these tens of thousands of people are dead, it is not difficult to drive tens of thousands of people to die again, anyway, the hundreds of thousands of people in the south of Rayla are all in their hands, even if these Rayla people are so dead, it is also cost-effective to take the fortress of Figey!
Reposti looked at the arrangement of the Hun army in the distance, and knew that the real target of the other party was not the 30,000 Rila army arranged in the direction of the Feigui outpost, but himself, the other party used Rila slaves to attack the defense line of the Rila army, no matter what the effect was, it was enough to contain the Rila army in a certain period of time, the biggest advantage is that at the same time, the Imperial army in the flanks and hills of the formation can be nailed to the spot, as long as the Ruila army has not withdrawn, the imperial army will not give up the flank, the eyes of the Hun military minister are really vicious, but if you want to break through the defensive line of the imperial army, it is not an easy thing to bear"Come on, let me see the casualties you Hun can bear!" Reposti's eyes shrank slightly on the huge black military flag in the distance, a sneer opened at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand, 50,000 imperial skilled crossbowmen began to pull the bowstring, hundreds of cannons The cold Thor slowly raised the muzzle, in the array of the imperial army, no one made a sound, only the cold of the mountain wind hitting his face, the central army of the empire, the heroic army of the world that has gone through a hundred battles, how could he be frightened by the scene in front of him, under the iron helmet of the black imperial heavy infantry, there are cold and stern faces, tired and slightly gloomy and murderous eyes, and the breath exhaled is like icing。
This is the will to fight, the will to soar to the sky,
Even let the opposite side is staring at the imperial army array, hoping to see a little panicked scene of the Hungarian army minister Bai Dulasu's eyes stinged, this white-haired army facing the wind, looking at the black army formation in the distance like a huge eagle wings unfolding, looking at the battle flag rolled in the wind, looking at the mountain-shaking momentum that invested half of the Hungarian troops in one breath, the same battle spirit burst out in his eyes, the old enemy of the Hungarian a hundred years ago, the strong enemy of the Hungarian a hundred years later, today is all gathered together, since this is the case, then fight to the death, this battle, the old man will use your blood to beat my Hungarian country's centennial national fortune and lay the foundation of my Hungarian empire!
"Start, attack!"
The herald cavalry galloped past in front of the Hun cavalry ranks, and the Hun cavalry commanders shouted angrily, and pointed at the black imperial army column opposite: "Get on the horse!" The Hun cavalry leaned down on the horse's neck. The spear stretched out its horse and rushed forward, and the spear was like a forest of air. Warhorses swept across the field. Swift as lightning, the number of more than 100,000 Hungarian troops, with the muffled trombone representing the attack, a large queue moved rapidly, the feeling was like a fierce wind, blowing the murderous aura that filled the heavens and the earth. The tip of the tasseled helmet on the head of the Hungarian cavalry. It's like being uncovered by a black cloud, revealing a large crowd of people,
"It's coming!"
Reposti squinted, his fingers clenched together, at this moment, the wind moved, the cloud was black, the wind was death, and the skilled crossbowmen of the 50,000 Imperial Central Army were fired at the same time, which can definitely be described as covering the sky and the sun. Countless arrows flew out, like a large black cloud, obscuring the color of the sky at high speed, and the dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops, and the metal waterfall immediately roared in the sky, straight to the earth and suddenly descended. Look at the shadow that was covered by the black layers, not only turned the front one hundred and fifty meters into a killing ground, but also smashed the front sharp of the Hun cavalry impact. More than a dozen scattered lines of troops were shrouded in shadows, and as countless arrows fell, thousands of Hun cavalry under the shadow pulled their horses violently. But it was too late, and countless clusters of arrows seemed to be slammed down from the sky by a pair of huge black hands, and one froze the body of the Hun cavalry inside. A descending came ruined miè.
The main force of cavalry that forced the Hun people to advance must be at least more than 50,000, and hundreds of cavalry lines are advancing against the momentum. As the tide rolled over, the rest of the infantry followed, their weapons a little rudimentary, but they were all draped in armor and scattered into slightly untidy quadrilaterals, with no end in sight to the neatly arranged armor and bayonets.
"Break the snare!"
The Hungarian military minister Bai Dulasu raised his hand almost at the same time, only to see hundreds of animal skin drums lined up behind him, each drum is two meters high, and the animal skins used are the skins of fierce beasts such as mountain tigers and cheetahs
"Bang!" The drum sound of the hundred-sided drum seemed to be suppressed by the murderous aura bred in the silence, and it swayed violently, shaking the heavens and the earth, and bang! The second sound, like a thunderbolt rolling down, made the blood of all the Hun warriors gush out, bang! The third sound, like the roar of a hundred beasts, was not blood, but the fighting spirit!
"Kill!"
The blood of the Hun cavalry was pushed to the apex, and the scattered lines that were still layered just now were accelerated by the advance, and countless people raised their horseback bows in their hands, and quickly crossed the undulating line of the hills at the front like a gale, breaking the snare drum, and the drum fell to break the army!
The Falcon Empire military array on the opposite side quietly did not react. But that feeling. Compared with the thunderstorm drumbeat that shook the world, this death-like silence, unfathomable and profound mystery, giving people more frightening pressure, rushing in the Hun cavalry involuntarily began to gather, these Hun cavalry all rose up a delusion in their hearts, as if they were not facing an army formation composed of tens of thousands of people, but a large mouth that had opened its mouth, a huge mouth of devouring people was waiting for them in front, the imperial cavalry had taught them the murderous long-range, and the imperial infantry was said to be stronger in the long-range!
We must not engage in long-range warfare with the other side, and we must never allow the other side to shoot calmly! Impact, impact, impact, as long as the opponent is crushed, the opponent will be a dead end
This is the will instilled in all the Hungarian centurions to their subordinates, the fiasco of 30,000 Hungarian Qianrui made every Hungarian understand that in front of the Imperial Army, their proud horseback bow is the object of slaughter, the other party's range can reach one hundred and fifty meters, and even the strongest wolf guard on this side can only shoot one hundred and twenty meters, this gap cannot be made up, this slightly frustrated momentum, let the Hungarian centurion shout with all their strength
"Kill those who retreat from the battle, advance on all fronts!" Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry rushed forward again as if they were stimulated, and at this moment, all the Hun people seemed to hear a strange buzzing sound. The violent whistling sound even faintly drowned out the sound of the hammer drums that were like raindrops. The sky suddenly darkened, "Here, the counterattack of the imperial army!" Bai Dulasu, the Hungarian military minister standing in the distance, shrank his eyes sharply, and his hand behind his back clenched violently, and his fingers were deeply sunk into his palm,
But Bai Dulasu didn't seem to notice it, his eyes were just staring at the front, where there was an unprecedented solemnity and madness, and the Hungarian generals standing behind him were also shocked by the scene in the distance, their expressions changed greatly, and they looked at the sky with strong fear.
Is this the Imperial Army's counterattack! This is too ...... A long-time battle-hardened Hungarian general couldn't help but shudder, they didn't know how lethal the Imperial Army formation was, but they also believed in the idea that the cavalry group was the natural enemy of the infantry, and the Imperial Army was also infantry in good war. In the face of the impact of the 50,000 Hun cavalry cluster, it may be able to make the Hun pay a heavy price, but it will also be unstoppable and defeated, but at this moment, this belief is shaken in his heart, it is really too terrifying to imagine the scene in front of him, or to believe that such an enemy will be victorious
I thought that the extremely sharp arrow rain was already terrifying, but hundreds of dazzling white lights shot into the front sharp of the Hun Ya that had just been covered at the same time, and the bloody rain set off made me even more frightened. It was a powerful ballista steel arrow, the Hungarian army had just been slapped in the face, and it was like being punched head-on by an invisible giant, and the Hungarian soldier with arrows in his body was still full of arrows, with eyes open in disbelief, watching the body of his companion under this violent to extreme attack, his body was torn apart, and he flew backwards for several meters, or even more than ten meters. The body in the armor of the cavalry twisted into an unnatural position in mid-air and fell to the ground,
The Imperial heavy ballista, powered by a powerful reed, was strong enough to pierce a shield within three hundred meters. What's more, the armor of these Hun cavalry, in this terrible metal storm, the flesh and blood without the protection of armor and shields, were pierced like paper, and the blood and shredded flesh were like exploding on horseback. Even the men and horses were instantly smashed, and between the lightning and flint, it was like being suddenly struck by a violent lightning. The man flipped on his back, the blood rose in the air, and the corpse fell into dust from the horse. The body was torn apart, and the thick steel arrows shot through the cut half of the body with blood, and sank deep into the body of the second man, nailing the latter's body to the ground in its entirety, without wailing, for it was dead.
"The third team, the seventh team, and the eleventh team are completely finished!"
The Hun generals muttered in a low voice with ugly faces, and their eyes invariably looked at the back of the military minister in front, the 50,000 Hun cavalry of the eighteen squadrons were wiped out three at once, and they were also the three most elite squadrons in the military minister's mansion, if it were not for the elite, it would not have become the spear tip of the army specially selected by the military minister to serve in this battle, but with just one blow, the spear tip of this army was broken,
When the Hun cavalry in the rear row saw the scene in front of them, they immediately attacked in fear, "Advance, rush over regardless of losses! The other party's bows and arrows are different from ours, they need to reload time!" A Hun Centurion immediately stood up, drew his sword and pointed forward, and shouted violently, and the Hungarian centurions were also shouting hoarsely, their eyes were already full of bloodshots, rush! Rush! Even if the last one is dead, you will rush me! Retreat without permission and behead the latter." Under the military order, cold and ruthless, the rear overseers shot arrows and shot more than a dozen Hun cavalry who turned around and wanted to escape, and the screams of these shot Hun cavalry made the faces of the Hun cavalry in front change,
The rumbling of the snare drum struck,
Suddenly, "Bang, bang, bang!" A series of hundreds of earth-shattering roars rose up in the sky again, this huge and strong roar seemed to overwhelm the snare drum, and even made the snare drummer who was beating with all his strength appear confused, these thunderous sounds were connected to each other, shaking the heavens and the earth, "This is the ......"
The Hungarian military minister Bai Dulasu's body was stiff, his face was solemn and wanted to drip water, the hand holding the horsewhip gurgled, the knuckles of his fingers turned white because of excessive force, and the generals behind him, many of them had an unconcealable surprise on their faces, and their eyes all looked at the roaring black military formation,
The black military formation was already filled with white smoke, and a row of dazzling firelight burst out from the white smoke in a row. Boom, every burst of fire, stinged everyone's eyes, every roar, shook everyone's hearts, because the suddenly burst ground, as if it was pushed off by life, the terrible shock wave filled between heaven and earth, with a series of bursting fire, rolled up the dust on the ground, lifted the Hun cavalry within the range, and went straight to the place where they passed, all the moments that touched these black smoke billowing phantoms, Qi Qi collapsed and fell apart, at the same time, at the moment when these fire balls shattered, the loud sound of whirling heaven and earth came out violently。 The terrifying bright red splash was like the punishment thunder of the gods, and it bombarded the sea of infantry behind the scattered line of the Hun cavalry, and the broken flesh and limbs were thrown like raindrops
Dead silence, the noisy battlefield suddenly stopped,
The Hun cavalry who were suppressing the tens of thousands of slaves of Rayla and forcing the Rayla army to stop their horses, and everyone looked at the scene from the side in shock, on the side of the Rayla army, Rayla's general Boazo also gasped, and was stunned to see that the Hungarians who had the advantage in strength were retreating on the front where the imperial army had been fully launched,
The Hun cavalry scattered by this blow, and was directly shattered into countless small pieces, the impact of the momentum was completely disintegrated, and the casualties could not be calculated, but there were only 10,000 people in the front and back, this was the first collision, and it collapsed the teeth of the Hun people in the name of good war.
It's no wonder that the two wars of Gangfei, the strength of the elite of Eirela, the alliance of the countries, and the local advantages of Gangfei, were also beaten by the Falcon Empire, and the gap in combat power was too big, and the imperial army was already at the pinnacle ......of this era in terms of weapons and equipment and fighting will!
