Power and Empire Chapter 697: Huoshaoyun (1)
697 Burning Clouds (1)
The night is deep, the moon is not visible in the gray sky, it seems it is going to rain again, and the ground is also muddy. After the ravages of Dongting archer during the day,
On the ground near the south side of the long wall on the top of the Emila Mountain, the land became pitted, and there was plenty of water in many places. The bodies of Simon archers were everywhere, and the East Court was crushed in the mud. The military flag was silently telling everything that happened during the day.
The fat man stood on the long-walled tower on the top of the mountain, leaning on the hard and desolate stone wall, looking at the empty land at the foot of the mountain, five or six kilometers away, dense fire and white tents, just Extending to the distance like the stars in the sky, large expanses are like beautiful brocade
That is where the camp of the East Court army is located. The 100,000 East Court army has already crossed the Yerui Pavilion line of defense, with Mount Tai overwhelming.
The cold night breeze blows, making the fat man’s mind a little confused. The two coalition forces that were good at first have turned into an unmanageable defeat in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, I have been prepared, otherwise this time the East Court The cavalry’s surprise attack will suffer a big loss,
Who would have thought that the strong Yerui Pavilion’s line of defense changed hands overnight, and the 200,000 Swadian army would not care about the nearby Eastern Cavalry, and desperately return to Paravin,
"It's really a game of random chess that I don't know the so-called"
Thinking of the information sent during the day, the fat man felt angry. After learning that the second prince rebels were raging in Kyoto, the Minister of Swadian who was in chaos was like a bee stabbed in the nest, completely messing up Fang Cun. , Divided into two factions in a fierce controversy,
One faction is dominated by veteran officials in Kyoto. Most of them are important ministers in charge of power. For them, Paravin is their root." But now their roots are uprooted by the rebels. They are Para The most miserable victim of the Wen rebellion, the property accumulated in the family for many years was looted by the rebels, and the wife and children ransacked the mansion. Who can stand this situation?
Especially the family of the Minister of Finance. In addition to the Minister of Finance himself, 6 wives and 4 sons all died at the hands of the rebels. The underage 7-year-old daughter was also tortured to death by the rebels, which is extremely miserable.
Behind the Minister of Finance, stood most of the great aristocrats in Paravin Kyoto. Their families and mansions were almost all killed by the rebels in this rebellion. They cried heartbreakingly. The sound even shocked the people in the east court opposite, thinking that the Swadians took the initiative to attack, causing them to neigh and almost launched a general attack
The other faction is a relatively wise minister. They proposed to divide the troops into two groups, one to defend Ye Ruige, and the other to return to the army to counter the rebellion. Although the rebels came fiercely, the outbreak time was short, even if they were in control. It is also difficult to gather an army that can contend with the main force of the kingdom in one or two days if the military affairs department’s arsenal is difficult.
As long as 50,000 elites are selected, it can be easily suppressed, but this kind of voice is insignificant compared to the resentment of the important ministers who almost died in the rebellion.
The 200,000 army of Swadian gave up the strong Yerui Pavilion defense line, murderously pounced on Kyoto Paravin, completely ignoring the Dongting iron cavalry who was staring behind his ass
"This...what's the situation?" King Khan of Dongting also looked depressed when he saw people going to Ye Ruige, where the wall was empty. What tricks the Swadians were playing, the cavalry of Dongting scouts was lingering in the Lord Ye Rui for a long time. After a long time, it was finally determined that Ye Ruige was an empty city
"Into the city" King Dongting Khan waved his hand, and the iron knights rolled, and effortlessly captured the last line of defense in Palavin, Yerui Pavilion. King Dongting Khan is worthy of a generation of strategic masters, and he is in a hurry to understand the Swadian people. After the reason for retreating, he immediately decided to abandon the plan to pursue the Swadian army, and instead swept the army straight to the Amila mountainous area on the left wing of Paravin,
The mobility of the cavalry was already high. The Fatty returned to the defense line for a long time, and received news that Ye Ruige had fallen, and then the cavalry from the East Court came like a dark cloud covering the sky and the earth.
King Dongting Khan’s war horse stopped under the Amira Mountain Range, his eyes swept across the long, faint black line on the top of the mountain, and the corners of King Khan’s mouth curled slightly.
There is the city wall of Emila where Fatty is garrisoned, and it is also the main force most likely to block the eastward cavalry from going south.
Only the 70,000 infantrymen of the Vicia Falcons are responsible for the Palavin flanks. This information has long been in the hands of the Dongting people.
"Bogoerzhamu and the 20,000 people of the ethnic group can only use the blood of their enemies to repay them." Dongting Khan’s eyes are full of murderous intent, the scimitar is out of its sheath, and the horseshoes of the 100,000 Dongting cavalry are murderous. Approaching the Emira Mountains,
In the first battle of Ribogen, the East Court lost more than 20,000 elite cavalry and killed more than 20,000 cavalry soldiers. It also led to the death of Bogor Zamu, the top general of the East Court. With this battle, the Falcon Dynasty once again shocked the mainland. , Completely stabilized his position as the number one soldier in the north,
But it also made King Dongting Khan list the Falcon Dynasty as his number one enemy, and now the Swadians are overwhelmed by the civil strife. It is the best fighter to swallow up this potential biggest enemy in one bite.
Being able to quickly see the most dangerous target in the misty chaos, King Dongting’s eyes are quite sophisticated, and his years of experience made him quickly decide that the army of Dongting will turn to attack Amyra, which can avoid being swallowed. Weak, it can reduce the pressure on Swadian,
As for the exhausted Swadians in this civil war, all you need to do is to watch the changes, and then issue a fatal blow." No matter which side of the Swadians wins, you only need to defeat the strongest Viking Eagle, when the 100,000 troops turn their heads, with the momentum of a big victory, swept across the entire territory of Swadian, which is already a group of dragons without a leader. A battle will be won,
The horseshoes of the East Court cavalry rolled over, and the beacon towers set up along the way quickly lit the pillar of fire, like a striking beacon, spreading from the distant sky, bringing people a kind of pressure
In order to prevent the Vikya people from overwhelming the world’s crossbow battle, King Dongting Khan set up his base camp five or six kilometers away from the long wall on the top of the mountain, like a pack of wolves peeking at their prey,
For a long time in the jī battle, the East Court cavalry launched three waves of tentative attacks along the long wall of defense line more than ten miles away, hoping to find the weakness of the long wall defense line, but under the condescending counterattack of the Vekia crossbowmen, the East Court cavalry left behind. After more than 2,000 corpses, I had to choose to retreat in a hurry,
"Your Majesty, the five thousand cavalry guards of Master Hu Keqili are ready." A guard in black armor knelt down behind the fat man, and his report with a respectful expression interrupted the fat man’s thoughts
"Well, it's almost time." The fat man looked up at the black sky above his head and calculated the time. A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "There is no moon tonight, it is the best time for a sneak attack, Dong The court people must have never imagined that we would be so bold to come out to fight the autumn wind under their surroundings."
The gate of the long wall pass on the top of the mountain quietly opened, and the chain suspension bridge was also lowered, and five thousand fully armored guard cavalry soldiers filed out, like a sharp sword stabbed in the dark, quietly facing The direction of Dongting camp is lurking forward.
The guards and heavy cavalry led by Hu Keqili first went out of the city, and then the light cavalry of 4 squadrons, marching along the long-detected woods, and running along the way as the fat man expected. After a day and the exhaustion of fighting, apart from a small number of Ranger patrols in Dongting Camp, there are almost no people in sight.
"Stop." At the end of the woods, Hu Keqili waved his hand and stopped the horse. Behind him were five thousand elite cavalry guards arranged in a fan-shaped array, and the black armor was not in the dark. , If you don’t enter the woods, you can’t really see what’s inside
Through the dense forest tree trunks in front of him, Hu Keqili realized that he was only less than a hundred meters away from the gate of the Dongting camp. The people of Dongting also sent a mobile guard in the middle of this section of about a hundred meters long.
It's a pity that those Dongting sentry patrolling back and forth on horseback, because they are too exhausted, most of them are talking in twos and threes, or lying directly on the horse back and snoring,
No one would have thought that within a distance of less than a hundred meters from him, 5,000 killers had already raised their butcher knives.
The camps of the Dongting people are also quiet. Except for the guards on duty, most of the Dongting people are asleep. After a long time on the road. Many archers of Dongting people are actually exhausted, and of course they must hurry up and take a good rest. Even King Dongting Khan himself went to bed early after arranging the alert.
The army crushed the city, and the Vikya people have always ruled the roost with infantry. The king of the East Court does not believe that the Vikya people dare to attack him at night,
He is not worried about the Vikiya going out of town. What he was most worried about was that the Vijaya army would not leave the city. The crossbow shooting during the day allowed him to fully appreciate the strength of the strongest soldier in the north. Several small-scale assaults were defeated at a distance of about 100 meters from the long wall. , The cluster of arrows like locusts completely suppressed the fighting power of the archers on the side~IndoMTL.com~Rumble "A low muffled sound is like a sudden unearthed, "What's the matter?" "The dozing Dongting sentry turned their heads curiously. When it comes to fighting in the field, the Dongting people are confident enough. No one is the opponent of the Dongting people. A dazzling cold star quickly expands in front of their pupils
"The enemy..."
The shouts of the Eastern Court sentry stopped abruptly, countless clusters of arrows entered through his chest, and one cluster of arrows shot through his throat, leaving his remaining voice with only a nasty gurgling sound.
Suddenly, dense clusters of arrows shot the hundreds of Eastern Sentinels in front of them into blood gourds. Fell down
"Assault", the Samor sword in Hu Keqili's hand was unsheathed, in the bursting cold wind of the night,
"Kill"
The five thousand cavalry guards are like ghosts suddenly flashing in the shadows. The sharp Samor swords cut through the night sky and landed on the heads of the bewildered Eastern Cavalry. Their eyes flashed. The blood red before the killing of the beast, like a killing machine, has been drawn into the group of shooters of Dongting people,
