Power and Empire Chapter 745: Strike the mountain pass (2)
Volume 3 Overlord’s Big 6] 745 Attacks Yamaguchi (2)
745 assault on the mountain pass (2)
Central Paravin, the Amiral Mountains,
The white mist in the early morning winds and flows on the mountain road, like a white water flowing in the mountains and forests, and the mist at night moistens the ground, as if it is pushed by, and draws a road on the ground. The rough lines of the sun, the sun just "showed" out of the distant horizon, the blood red "color" sunrise and the dense "desire" drops of purple "color" clouds, concealing the looming dawn of the east,
These gorgeous "colors" are changing in the distance, most of the sky has not yet woken up from the "colors" of last night, and the ocean shows a vast floating dark blue "colors"
The crisp sound of horseshoes was especially clear, getting closer and closer. In the refreshing morning breeze, teams of cavalry swept across the ground like a gust of wind, leaving invisible dust.
The sound of horseshoes awakened the surrounding animals, setting off the cold of early and late autumn to make it particularly lively. The wild birds that were startled to fly were looking for a place to hide.
The darkness before dawn gradually passed, and the dawn slowly opened the prelude to the darkness of the earth, and the faint light gradually illuminated the black armor on the cavalry.
The sun is shining on the ground, and the cold air is full of sweet taste. The green grass buds in the wild are like growing up a lot overnight, and the golden colorful grass makes itself pale yellow. "Flower" petals, bathed in the warm winter sun as much as possible,
The rumbling of horseshoes is like bursts of thunder, occasionally mixed with the neighing of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests. The black armors are arranged in several moving black long lines, in the gold of the sun. "The color" shines with a dark luster under the light,
Dense cavalry queues are constantly growing
Emerging from the heights of the hills, far away like a black wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area, the muffled sound of horseshoes shattered the tranquility of the mountains, and the morning sun "shot" from the morning mist, Let these black cavalry gleam with a gloomy glow up and down, cold, bloody, mysterious, and the neatly arranged queue, like someone agreed to command, suddenly stopped at the entrance of a canyon
In the tortuous mountain road at the foot of the mountain, as far as the eyes can be seen, there are corpses of broken nomadic cavalry armors everywhere. The black armored cavalry, the most proud of the Dongting people, ended up exposing the corpse wilderness like this.
I don’t know if it’s out of hatred or ostentation, the Swadian people did not have the heart to bury the wreckage of the loser, but the Falcon army quickly evacuated from the mountain road after the ambush that day. Here, it has become an area deliberately forgotten by both sides. A few kilometers away, the strong smell of carrion in the air was unbearable.
"My lord, this is the mountain road that ambushed the Dongting people that day"
A light cavalry in charge of leading the way pointed to the mountain road covered with bones in the distance, and said, "The 40,000 cavalrymen of the East Court killed out from here and entered the southern area of Paravin. As long as we follow the road pointed by the wreck, we will Can reach the goal"
"40,000 East Court Cavalry!"
Varisian’s face was "slightly cold". Although he had already been mentally prepared, he was shocked by the scene. 40,000 infantry vs. 40,000 cavalry. The ambush lasted two months. Since then, it has already been spread throughout the Great 6, as the Falcon’s Infantry vs. Cavalry, once again shocked the classic battle of the Great Six. The bones of the East Court’s Ten Thousand Cavalrymen once again pushed the prestige of the Falcon Dynasty to a peak again.
Although Varisian did not participate in the ambush, you can imagine the tragic resistance that day,
The densely packed broken bows and remnants in the mountain trail below are like wild "flowers" strolling through the mountains in the "spring" season, spreading to the end of the mountain trail,
In the green "color" weeds, there are faintly visible bones, and a remnant flag stands obliquely in a recess in the distance. In the morning sun, the flag is blown by the mountain breeze "hunting" and the flag is still faint. It can be seen that the coat of arms of the black armor and iron cavalry of the East Court, the flag is still here, and the warriors who hold the flag have long turned into bones.
Hundreds of corpse-eating vultures hovered in the air, throbbing the sky, one after another, screaming as if to celebrate their luck, this mountain road is like a shura field,
In order to break out of the siege, nearly 30,000 of the most "elite" cavalry in the East Court were buried here. When a race has made a desperate determination to resist, the destructive power they exploded is amazing.
This can be seen from the distance of these bones piles,
Many of the bones are piled on top of each other, almost without space at all, most of them fall in the forward direction, huge horse bones and white human bones. , Layer upon layer, shocking people, it can be seen that the fierce battle of the day, the two sides can be said to have tried their best
According to the two infantry flag regiments that participated in the block that night, even if they occupied a powerful terrain and attacked from top to bottom, they paid a heavy price of more than 6,000 casualties. In terms of total strength, 6,000 men The casualties accounted for one-half of the total strength of the two banner regiments, which caused the two main banner regiments to come down from the front line of the "fierce" battle and immediately transferred to reserve recruits. The basis was equivalent to announcing the loss of combat strength.
The resistance and final weakening of the Falcon army were so real that King Dongting Khan really thought he had escaped the trap of His Majesty Falcon. After plundering the necessary materials, he hurriedly chose more Fleeing to the north in the direction of Rock Mountains,
As a result, he fell into an ambush at the Dorok Mountain Pass, and ended up tragically dying in the wilderness.
This mountain road buried the dream of the rise of a prairie kingdom. Like countless dynasties in history, this place is called the end of the East Court
"Now, it's my turn to go this way!"
After staring for a while, Varysian's face was stern and waved to the cavalry behind him, "In the name of victory, let this mountain road filled with the blood of warriors change its name."
The horses roared, and countless black-armored cavalry swept down the mountains and plains, like a torrent of rolling steel, rushing into the lower mountain road full of bones,
The battle has begun!
History scholars of later generations, every time they read the turning point of when the Falcon dynasty changed from a regional kingdom to the empire era that swept the Great Six, they would sigh together here.
Varisian didn’t know that his name would go down in history because of this raid, because he was feeling helpless for the mountain roads full of forks in front of him, and he almost gave the order to return to the army on the spot
The shining sun is shining overhead, and the Falcon Cavalry has been wandering on the mountain road all morning,
"How far is it!"
This is the third time Valisian has asked the light cavalry responsible for guiding the way. The road is too long. It has been running along the wreckage of the East Court cavalry for more than 2 hours, but has not seen the exit of the mountain road. Several times I thought that I had reached the end of the mountain road, but turned around again. I saw that the road ahead was obviously a thoroughfare, but it turned out that the road ahead was actually just the corner of another mountain road. The long mountain road appeared in front of my eyes
"Ahead, just ahead!"
The light cavalry who led the way was sweating profusely, and replied nervously,
Actually, he has not walked this mountain road. The reason why he was sent as a guide is because he was a recruit from a village near this mountain road. This mountain road is too remote and the wolves are in piles. No one from the villagers walked, even on the Swadian map, it is difficult to find this mountain road.
At this moment, the scout cavalry in front reported that they encountered a group of falcon cavalry patrolling nearby, which made Varisian overjoyed.
"Quickly, bring people" Varysian excitedly ordered the scouts, and soon, the forward scouts brought back a team of falcon patrol cavalry,
"Litsug, the sixth squadron of the Falcon 3rd Cavalry Regiment, is reporting to you!" The captain of the patrol cavalry is a very "smart" young man with a handsome face and a slender body. The armor of the cavalry guards, but the hanging beards on both sides of his head betrayed him, this is a Kujit,
"Do you know the location of the valley exit?"
Varisian became excited when he learned that the opponent was from the Third Cavalry Banner. The Third Cavalry Banner belongs to the Central Legion and is stationed in the Emilia Mountains. If the opponent is from the Third Cavalry The Three Cavalry Banners, it proves that the other party is the same as himself, entering from another section of the mountain road. Since the other party can run in front of him, it is enough to prove that the other party is quite familiar with this place.
"My lord is looking for the exit of the valley?" Litsager's face was "stunned" to learn that the famous Varisian was in front of him, and he gave a military salute with a strange expression on his face. Road
"Sorry, my lord, I’m afraid I can’t help. My subordinate’s duty is to chase down the nearby wolves to protect the nearby villages. Because of the mountain people’s help, it’s okay for this mountain road, but if Continue to the south and enter the wolf gorge. There is no way. Almost no one dared to go there. No one led the way. The roots could not find the specific location of the valley exit. One of my patrols had passed through. For the entire mountain road, this person was temporarily recruited, he is a Swadian, I'm afraid..."
"Oh. Someone traversed the entire mountain road alone!" Varysienlai suddenly became excited with a frustrated mood. Seeing the eyes of the patrol captain in front of him, he waved to interrupt the patrol captain's words, and hurriedly shouted, "That's him." It doesn’t matter if he is from the Swadian, as long as he can find the exit of the mountain road, I don’t care which country he is from!"
Little Sage waved his hand to the last person in the line behind him, "Boslane, come here!"
A tall young man heard the shout and slowly emerged from the patrol line, wearing a very ordinary black armor. I didn’t feel it just now, but as soon as he got out of the line, he was immediately attracted. All eyes,
Because his outfit is so eye-catching, a red cap, a blue silk thread hanging from the hat, and crimson cavalry shorts, the same color. He’s tied his "legs" with a sharp machete "inserted" at the waist,
Although his face is a little pale, it has an unspeakable temperament. It seems that everything in front of you cannot attract his attention. You may not notice him, but when you pay attention, you will see the other person.
"嘡啷"
Varisian was stunned when he heard the sound of the guard cavalry drawing knives nearby.
He recognized the guard who drew the sword, named Erdos, who was a centurion of Kujit before joining Varisian Banner, and he was considered to be a well-known warrior of the steppe
"Hands, what do you want to do!" Varysian yelled, and quickly asked others to stop the guard who was drawing the sword.
"My lord, let me kill this man, he is a Swadian Black Flag! I have his face so far, that he slaughtered my subordinates when I was in Kujit!"
The guard cavalry's face was "colorful" waving the sword in his hand, and he shouted hoarsely. His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. If it hadn't been for Varysian to stop him, he would have rode the horse over to this place. The young man hacked. In the "Ran" army of the Battle of Arakawa, the guard cavalry used his body to block him with a knife. Even though he had a broken arm, Varisian still put him into his own guard. After preparing for this battle, follow the military service arrangement to be a town mayor and so on
"Are you the Swadian Black Flag?"
Varisian looked up and down at the young man whose face had not changed, and his tone suddenly became darker. Although the other party hadn't answered yet, there was almost nothing wrong with his indifferent expression.
This made Varisian suddenly wake up, yes, that’s right, I was still wondering just now, how can I face a patrolman and feel a sense of depression when I have experienced a **** battle like this. Now Only now, it’s because the opponent has a killing aura that grows on the battlefield. This aura cannot be concealed.
"Yes, I used to be a black flag squadron leader!"
The young man replied with a blank face, even when facing the sharp saber held by the guard cavalry high on his forehead, there was not a trace of "wave" in his indifferent gaze. One was a professional soldier who had experienced battle.
By the young man’s answer, Varisian’s expression suddenly became "yin" and cold, knowing that this time it’s difficult to do. The Swadian Black Flag is one of the most "excellent" troops in Swadian. According to all It is composed of criminal nobles, with strong combat power, but also particularly brutal,
Often every time the battle is over, the civilians of the opponent must be confided. According to conservative estimates, in the war of the Northern Army’s attack on the northern grasslands, the Black Flag defeated 7 thousand Kujit soldiers, but slaughtered 12. In the tribe, more than 40,000 Kujit civilians fell in their pictures,
For an army with a number of less than 3,000, such a figure shows its brutality. It is within the Swadian Northern Army. If it is a last resort, it is unwilling to get involved with this army, although in the end all The army annihilated in Weimandu in the north, and did not receive a trace of recognition from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
But if this person is really the Swadian Black Flag, then it’s a big trouble,
Varisian knew that many of his cavalry under his command, like this guard cavalry, came from the reorganized Kujit grassland.
These Kujites are real warriors. As long as they give an order, they will never frown even in the face of a desperate battle.
In the Battle of Arakawa, I was able to break the obstacles of the East Court cavalry with a burst of strength, and defeated the famous East Court Bogor Zamu in the final tug-of-war. These Kujit cavalry, who were not afraid of death, played a key role. ,
But these Kurgits are totally different from the Swahidian black flag, who committed the heavy debts. If they know that the guide is a black flag, they may be mutiny on the spot, which can make Varisi. Well, there is a feeling of wanting to hit the wall, it is not easy to find someone who can lead the way, but it is a Swadian Black Flag, and I can only stare at it.
"My lord, if there is nothing wrong, I will go down first!"
The young man’s mouth with a sneer of contempt, he came out, the general of the Falcon Dynasty in front of him, felt embarrassed about his former identity, he had seen this kind of gaze a long time ago, black The reputation of Qi is so ugly that even young people want to forget it, but they are always mentioned by others
"My lord, Lord Prais from the rear team sent someone to ask, how far is the exit of the valley? At this time, a messenger came up from the back of the team,
"No one from Swadian knows about him, how do I know that I need to transfer more in this place!"
Varisian was in a state of desperation. How could he be in the mood to answer, suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, yes, Prais is from Swadian, and most of his back team is from Vicia The soldiers of Swadian have no resistance to the Swadian Black Flag, but are a key to solving the current predicament,
"Sure enough, your Majesty is clever!" Varysian sighed in his heart. He finally understood why his Majesty Falcon must let Prais be with the team. This one among the Swadians The prestigious deputy chief is really a master key to face such problems
"Take this person to Master Praias right away! Tell Master Praias that if you can't pass the mountain road in the afternoon, I'm afraid that your majesty Falcon's saber will be used to sacrifice the flag with your head and my head "Valisian ordered loudly,
The messenger hurriedly led the young people through the crowd, Varisian ordered the squadrons to stop on the mountain road to rest,
After running for a few minutes, I finally met Prais who was studying the map in the rear team. This former Swadian Minister of Military Affairs was also at a loss for this passage of Mo. The maps of this era are often not In detail, although the maps made by Wikiya are relatively compared with other kingdoms, most of them are determined based on the descriptions of merchants, and this mountain road has never been dared to pass by caravans, and naturally there is no detailed description.
From the Big 6 map, the landform of the Paravin Plain is like an upturned wing. On the edge of this wing, there is an upturned arc, that is, the Emila Mountain Road, which is the Emila Mountain Range. A remnant road extending to the south,
Prays's finger heavily tapped a point on the map, which may be the exit direction of the mountain road. At this time, the messenger in front has brought the young man to him, and Prays is now Studying the map, I didn’t notice the flash of surprise in the eyes of the opposite young man
Lingbing conveyed Varysian’s original words to Praias~IndoMTL.com~ Praias raised his head in amazement, and stared at the young man in front of him,
Finally, his gaze was set at a mark on the wrist of the young man who was "naked" or "exposed". It was a black "colored" tattoo, like a round physique, or a sign of burned torture.
"Halal Brand, are you a general who was punished?"
Prais stared at the tattoo, his face changed, and in Swadian, only general-level prisoners would be used this special instrument of torture to brand the coat of arms on behalf of his family
"Yes, I used to be the commander of the Fourth Banner of the Swadian Third Army. I was sentenced to the black flag of atonement for conspiracy."
The young man stared at Prais, his indifferent eyes were a little "excited", and he responded, "It's a great honor to see adults here. I believe adults should still have the name Ursa"
"Ulssa? You are the Ursas in the "Rebellion" of Ur!" Prais first lowered his head and muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head, staring at the young man in shock. Obviously surprised by this name
