Power and Empire: The Battle of 608 Kyoto (3)
6o8 Battle of Kyoto (3)
The Thirteenth Corps of Faba Tower only appeared on the other end of the battlefield near sunset. The scattered queues were almost undisciplined. The armors of the soldiers were half draped over their shoulders, and some were casual. Carry the spear in your hand on your shoulders without respect,
The chaotic noise is exactly like a group of wild ducks being driven away forcibly. Suddenly, there is a Mizusawa beach full of food. First, it rushes forward in disorder, and then stands there chaotically, just lined up. Straight lines are very difficult,
Most of them are some dudes from Kyoto, or some defeated nobles. The reason for joining the army is to gain the identity of a Mamunuk knight. For them, the cruel war is completely It is unimaginable that they are ordinary people, not soldiers. This can be seen from their dull eyes staring at the battlefield in the distance, as pale as paper,
They are the products of the great aristocracy in Kyoto to maximize the money. Because of the financial tension of the kingdom, the sultan has acquiesced to many unseen behaviors, including this kind of identity trafficking,
Those powerful people, while awarding these fellows the Mamunuk knighthood, they also gave these rich men who hadn’t even trained for a day.
They will never be sent to the battlefield, but now, they find that they have been put on the battlefield. The situation can be described by an earthquake. The blood in the distance has almost reddened half of the mountain, and it is tragic. The sound of fighting is clearly audible over a dozen miles away. The tragic howls of wounded soldiers and thrilling assassinations are enough to make these ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield before they have been pushed up. There has been a big chaos.
"Didn’t you say you don’t have to go to the battlefield? Why do you bring us to this place?"
A soldier of the Thirteenth Corps threw the weapon to the ground with a pale face. The scene of blood flowing in front of him made him sit on the ground with a fright. He shouted hysterically. His shout made Ben just The chaotic team has not yet entered the battle, it has already appeared ashamed. Judging from the current situation, it may become more and more obvious to be queued up as a reserve team
A group of law enforcement cavalry came from a distance, and these chaotic noises quickly attracted the attention of the third prince Fharris, who was not far from them.
"This is the 13th Army of that ugly woman's son?"
His eyes swept across a legion comparable to a hornet’s nest in the distance. The third prince Harris, riding on a white horse, twitched his eyes and snorted in his mouth
"Hehe, what a funny guy""
"Interesting? What's the matter with this 13th Army?" At the side of Faharis, a two-meter-tall General Mamunuk said with great dissatisfaction. "The other corps have been fighting for a day. It’s really outrageous that these unsophisticated guys are late to come. If I were a commander, I would be the first to send such guys to the front and let the enemy’s sword teach them what is a Salander warrior"
He is the adjutant assigned to Faharis, the famous brave general of the kingdom, Marquis Polkin, and three-time champion of the Mamunuk Knight Tournament in Kyoto № standing tall and sturdy beside the thin Faharis, just It looks like a dark iron tower, with heavy armor, a big chin, bald head, and some heads that have just turned white and a little sparse, and a pair of solemn eyes shining with a strong spirit
"Don't worry, General Morvey, this is not necessarily a bad thing"
The third prince Harris, of course, knew what his deputy was angry about. Instead of conforming to him, he kept staring at a figure standing on a hillside in the distance. His face was full of dignity, and the corners of his mouth were not angry but he smiled.
"I think we may have overlooked one point. If this guy’s lateness leads to the use of tens of thousands of troops in the encirclement and suppression efforts, I am afraid that the most annoying jumper is not us, it should be my consumer. With this battle, the eldest brother who established his position as the crown prince in one fell swoop was right. He personally proposed this plan. Now such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?"
"You mean that His Royal Highness and his first Mamunuk Knights have left Kyoto and Kyoto is not all empty..."
Aware of the meaning of the words of the third prince Fuchs, the face of the fat Marquis Polkin suddenly changed.
This news is really shocking. The first Mamunuk Army of the prince, but the Royal Forest Army directly under the royal family, has a total of 25,000 people. If you count some logistics, it accounts for almost all of Kyoto. More than half of the army is the absolute force to guard Kyoto,
Although he is only a commander of the outer army and has no access to high-level secrets, he also knows that the entire Kyoto has only 60,000 troops. In this battle, 15,000 people defending the periphery have been mobilized. This creates a huge defensive hole. If the first Mamunuk Knights with the strongest number and combat power are mobilized, the defense line of the entire Kyoto will be basically useless.
"I know what you are thinking"
The three princes Fu and Reese sighed, their eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions, "It was originally planned that this battle should end as quickly as possible, and then return to Kyoto immediately. Unfortunately, this is just our wish. , My elder brother obviously has other plans. Now he is heavily armed, I'm afraid he won't give up so easily."
"His Royal Highness, what does this mean?" Polkin's face was stunned. What Fuchs and Reese said is really a bit rebellious. His Majesty Sultan has 4 sons, but the crown prince has not yet been established. In this case, The meaning of the words of the third highness makes people feel that the hairs stand upright when you think of it,
"Did you not see it?" ↓Prince Fu and Reese smiled bitterly, pointing to a group of Salander troops that are evacuating in the distance, and said, "You should have appeared too, our strength is obviously better than those There are several times more Vikiyas, but every time they are dispatched, they are some corps with weak combat effectiveness.
We and the trash are both threats in the eyes of the big brother, and they are in the attack sequence at noon tomorrow. My very scheming big brother obviously wants to wait until the other party is exhausted before he comes to perform the final blow. That's it"
"It’s no wonder that I’ll just say, how come some miscellaneous names rushed up and made our real Salander fighters faceless." The Marquis of Polkin had a sudden realization on his face, and he secretly counted the facts today. The legion sequence on the battlefield has to admit this fact,
"Actually, that guy is very smart"
The three princes Fu and Reese turned their heads and looked at the Faba Tower, which was still finishing the team in the distance. The corners of their mouths were slightly curled. It has been an hour, but his army is still messy, and even the law enforcement team can't control it. These old soldiers,
Not to mention that these people are on the battlefield, but if they have a little big movement, they can immediately blow up the camp. For example, now, those old soldiers are holding weapons in their hands and surrounded a dozen law enforcement teams' cavalry regiments.
As for the thin shadow, it has a leisurely look, like a passerby, standing not far away watching the excitement,
Fu and Reese have a bitter taste in their mouths, and their eyes are complicated.
"Have you seen it, I dare to fight, that guy definitely did it on purpose, I also arrived to find out that the real protagonist is not me, I am just cannon fodder to delay time and I can see this. People, I believe there are not many in the entire Sarandian kingdom, but the trash doesn’t know what it is. It’s like such a situation, as if it’s already known."
"But if he is like this, isn't he afraid of the talisman?" Polkin asked with a puzzled look
"Hehe, you don’t understand." The three princes Fu and Reese smiled at the corners of their mouths. "His laziness is the best concealment for your Highness. No one cares about a waste, let alone this waste not yet. A little military ability, sometimes I also think, if his mother was not a maid, he might be the most distracting of our four brothers"
"You mean the Fourth His Royal Highness pretends..." The Marquis of Polkin's voice was full of surprise, his eyes couldn't help but also looked at the thin and firm figure standing far away, all of Kyoto Everyone knows that the Four Highnesses is completely a shame to His Majesty the Sultan,
An irreparable mistake made at the wrong time, at the wrong place,
So most of the Salander nobles have an attitude of looking at jokes, and they treat this Four Highnesses, but they did not expect that the Three Highnesses, who have always been known for their ingenuity and cleverness, would give such a high evaluation of the shame of the royal family.
"Haha, a top student who graduated from Paravin Military Academy would be an idiot who doesn't understand military affairs. You believe this?" Three Prince Fu and Reese laughed, "Unfortunately, he is still a little tender. Sometimes I've done it, but it's still very gripping"
On a hillside outside the city of Baku, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous armor is staring at the Salander army attacking the hillside in the distance.
The reddish-brown head with some gray at the end, a pair of flexible and sharp eyes, like pale blue pearls, with a calm and thoughtful look, and the well-defined face reveals a natural violent temperament. ,
"The time is almost there, let's stop here today, let Lermontov's army withdraw and other army groups will attack in order according to the original plan."
The middle-aged man looked up at the glow that was about to fall to the horizon, waved to the messenger behind him, the melodious bugle rang, and the Salander army attacking in front retreated again,
Several Mamunuk generals followed him nervously, and the flag representing the status of the army commander was flying above him. He is the prince of the Kingdom of Salander, and Roland
His Majesty Sultan’s most trusted prince, a genius recognized by the royal family, passed the Junior Mamunuk Knight's exam at the age of ten, and at the age of fifteen he was under the Sultan’s Ken, as the best graduate of Mamunuk College, Appointed as the deputy commander of a Mamunuk legion, it was once speculated that His Majesty Sultan’s throne might fall on the prince’s head.
Just as the third prince Fharris thought, if this battle is over, the prince’s appointment as the crown prince is definitely a sure thing. This time, His Majesty the Sultan will hand over such an important command to the hands of the prince. , Is the proof of this rumor,
"His Royal Highness Stays"
At this moment, the commander of the Lermontov Army who was called down just now walked from the front in a dusty suit. "I want to know why I was allowed to retreat. I lost 2,000 of the best soldiers before I rushed. Go up, you let me down like this, let me explain to the soldiers of the legion"
His face is full of anger. Just now his legion has rushed to the first hillside, and he is about to become the first legion commander to establish merits, but the forced withdrawal order from the rear made him bored. Fire
He is not the commander of the previous miscellaneous legions. He is the commander of the regular legion. He is also a great nobleman in Kyoto. Even if he is facing the noble Royal Highness, his face is blocked in the road without fear.
"Are you questioning me? Commander Lermontov"
Roland’s calm and terrifying gaze, like a sharp sword, looked directly at this guy who dared to offend him face-to-face, which made Lermontov feel a chill, and realized that he was a little bit gagged, but the current situation , Except for the top, there is no way
"The blood of the Salander warrior stained the hill red, and thousands of brothers' lives were thrown on it." Lermontov's lips trembled and he pointed to the distant hill, his voice tinged with weeping. "If there is no reasonable reason, not only will I be dissatisfied, I believe all the generals present will dissatisfied"
"Really? You guys think so too"
Roland's arrogant gaze swept over, and the generals who were seen bowed their heads. The battle of this day was really frustrated, unable to rush, unable to retreat, and must put up a posture of a deadly battle. It’s too torturous. Looking at the rows of soldiers lying on the hills, which general is not heartbroken
Roland's face was solemn, and his expression was cold and said, "As the commander-in-chief of the battle, I am not obligated to explain my combat intentions to you, but for the sake of serving the royal family for many years, I violated your majesty’s secret order and revealed something to you. You" Roland paused in his voice, raised his finger to the hillside where the Vicky runner-up flag was flying in the distance, and said
"Have you heard of the principle of boiling frogs in warm water? If you put a frog in boiling water, the frog will jump away. If we put it in warm water, it will slowly lose the most Basic vigilance, and finally died in the boiling water. Those Vikings are the same as the frogs. We have no control. If the whole army is pressed, the opponent will immediately choose to withdraw from the coast. We can only weaken the attack step by step. When the opponent relaxed his vigilance, the whole army pressed on and gave the opponent a fatal blow. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for us to think of getting the next chance."
After listening to Roland’s words, Lermontov bowed his head in embarrassment, and the other army commanders also apologized.
Lermontov looked at the red faces of other colleagues, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Roland.
"Sorry, I was too reckless. I didn’t expect that His Highness’s vision would be so far-reaching. It’s my honor to be able to fight under the command of His Highness, and it’s also an honor for all Salander warriors. I believe those three thousand warriors’ The soul will protect our success in this battle"
When the generals left, Roland's cold mouth showed a sly smile,
In fact, this battle plan itself was made by him. It should have been clearly stated in the layout meeting, but if you say it at this moment, you will undoubtedly receive the greatest effect of gaining the loyalty of the generals.
The night is gradually becoming pale, and the sun slowly disappears from the west reluctantly, but its afterglow seems to be nostalgic for this **** battlefield for a long time.
The afterglow of the setting sun is obliquely reflected on the blood-stained stone, reflecting this Shura hellish battlefield even more tragic and majestic "The cracked flag looks exceptionally sad under the dim sun,
There are also those unowned war horses who are also crying in a low voice in the face of the sun, and the whimpering bugle echoes on this desolate land, twitching the heart of every Mamunuk knight.
The gray sky is dark, with no stars, no moon, or even wind, as if the opposition between the Salanders and the Vicky runners has condensed the sky and the earth, and the air seems very heavy. , Breathing is also very difficult, many people can feel the rapid beating in their hearts.
The boundless sense of tension shrouded silently from everyone on this land in all directions, whether it was from the Dylans battleship or from the Salander camp, you can see Whatever it arrives is a continuous fire.
The Salander army that besieged the city burned a large number of fires on the city’s head to prevent the Vikings from raiding.” The Vikings also planted a lot of wood around the hillside camp. Torches, these torches were soaked in vegetable oil and burned very violently, illuminating every inch of the open space as bright as day.
The ruins of Baiku in the middle of the night are extremely cold. The blowing wind whizzed past among the ruins, making a trembling sound, as if the gods were roaring, and it seemed that the wounded **** was groaning and struggling in pain. Feeling each ruin up close, it seems that I can faintly feel the trembling of the ruins, as if a fierce war is also going on inside.
Pu Oak patted the dust on his body and felt that his rough and dark face, which was blown by the sea breeze, was a little bit painful by the night wind. You can imagine the intensity of the night wind.
The climate here is really amazing. The temperature difference between day and night is too big. At least 30 degrees Celsius. At noon, the whole body is hot and sweaty. I can’t wait to take off my armor completely. Now the sweat is cold. As soon as the night breeze blows, it immediately starts to freeze and sticks tightly to the body, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Many Dylans heavy infantry have quietly untied their armor. One day’s fierce battle cost them a third. Fortunately, they are very close to the battleship group, and the wounded soldiers can be sent to the ship in time. , There is Dylans’s pharmacist on it, although the number is small, but at least it can make most of the wounded soldiers persist until the arrival of the transport ship
"Captain, look." A Dylans scout quietly leaned up from the bushes next to him, and pointed at the Salander camp in the distance. "**, the Salanders really lost their money this time. It’s the seventh legion to be tuned up. I didn’t expect that these Salanders would have so many people"
Hearing the voice of the scout, Pu Xiang quickly raised his hand to look over, and suddenly took a breath.
I saw an exhibition of military flags in the Salander camp. From time to time, you could see teams of infantry moving, spears like forests, metal armors dangling red tubes in the fire, and dense large shields almost like a strip. The countless scales of the dragon are rolling in the dust in the distance,
The horses of the cavalry kept galloping past like a lantern. It can be seen that the Salanders are adjusting their attack deployment overnight.
Some military flags that have never appeared before are constantly appearing at the forefront, piled up like echelons, and the troops that have lost more are quietly replaced. The densely packed figures look like dark shadows from a distance. Others The military flags are also being mobilized, either behind these new flags or placed in the forefront. At first glance, it is the kind of posture that the whole army is ready to suppress.
Pu Xiang's eyes flickered, staring at the Salander army in the distance, and he had the final say in his heart. With his sophistication and calmness, he also licked his lips nervously,
He has been squatting here for half a night, good fellow, in this half of the night, the Salander army seen in the looking glass has at least replaced about 20,000 troops. This is the Dylans army’s. 3 times. According to this calculation, the number of Salander's troops is beyond 40,000. This is still a must.
As can be seen from the signs on the military flag, what is being added now is the powerful new force that has just arrived. It can be seen from their movements and lineup that these people are absolutely brave fighters. Their physique and aura, which are far stronger than ordinary soldiers, can be felt even through the looking glass.
"It seems that the previous attack was nothing but Salander smoke, let me just say, how can an army of tens of thousands of people not even be able to fight?" Pu Xiang curled his lips with a weird face and turned to the side The scout waved his hand and whispered in a low voice
"Report to the above~IndoMTL.com~The Salanders not only hid more than double their troops, but are also replacing the war-damaged troops with elite troops. They should be ready to make the final blow tomorrow."
"Slap"
The intelligence was placed heavily on the table by Dylans Kelly, her mature and beautiful face was full of dignity, secretly glad that she was fortunate to have kept a heart, otherwise she would not even know how to die, the opposite command Salander The official was too cunning, and he used the casualties of thousands of Salanders to cover up his final intentions.
"This guy is really capable of insulting 40,000 troops. Even if he pushes, he can flatten this small area."
Thinking of the opponent’s cunning, Dylans Kelly hates her teeth. If it weren’t for her mind, tomorrow might be the date when the Dylans army was destroyed
"Come here, please come to all the generals. I want to call an emergency meeting." Dylans Kelly pushed open the cabin door and shouted to the guard standing at the door. Soon a dozen of Dylans generals followed Come in outside the door,
"Mother", a dozen General Dylans stood in a row, saluting.
