Power and Empire Chapter 1645: Southwest Rebellion (9)
June rain hits the face with the rare coldness. Murphy Obern rode a war horse like a sharp blade that cuts off the rain curtain, rushing towards the deputy fort of the capital, his horse hoof lifted the muddy water on the ground, Behind him, more than a dozen Murphy's dragon cavalry followed, in the direction of the vice-fort, Murphy's cavalry with red cloth strips on their heads representing the idea of vengeance were driving their horses, stepping on temporary pedals that were built and swarming. Above, the red ribbon on the head flies behind, miraculously attacking the city wall with cavalry, which has completely caught the guards guarding the east wall by surprise,
led away the tragic war that later historians called "Southwestern War",
is so tragic not only because of the fighting, but also because of the profound impact this war has on the southwest and even the entire Gaul, like the sound of the twilight bell in the empire’s twilight. The name Murphy Obern is a rare addition to the military history of the empire.
"Wow"
The battle wind burst, and the imperial guards on the wall were mobilizing as much as possible. Stanley Spencer gave the order to gather the heavy cavalry a little late, and could only transfer three thousand infantry as the reserve team. The soldiers of the Guards ran between the city roads. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that the cavalry could climb the city wall
"Order to withstand with all your strength, if there are those who fled without authorization, kill!"
A regular Janitor officer felt the turmoil of his subordinates. He drew his sword at the forefront of the queue and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone stay steady! There are those who dare to escape! The survivors after the war," Enter the Imperial Guard!" But his encouraging voice, and the densely pressing Murphy dragon cavalry at the position of the deputy fort below, seemed so small,
"Hold up the battle flag, and the assault team will go to the city!"
Murphy Obern’s horse stopped under the deputy fort, raised his head, his eyes full of revenge flashed like blood, and he sent men to attack the east to make the Imperial Guard’s strength insufficient at the east gate. 2 Thousands of heavy cavalry divided into four groups and rushed to the four sub-forts. He directly ordered his subordinates to erect their battle flags within the shooting range of the enemy’s arrows. His move immediately made Murphy’s dragon cavalry’s Morale reached its peak
"Stanley Spencer, you coward, dare to come out for a fight!" Murphy Obern's voice that shook the entire battlefield penetrated the rain curtain, the face of the Guards above was paler, and the sword in his hand fell. As if cutting off the rain curtain and pointing to the city wall, the sharp blades of the 200 heavy cavalry in each team raised their horses hoof, like a tsunami landslide, stepped on the solid wood panels of the sub-fort and the city wall and rushed up to the city wall. A intensive stinging gun was fired, and the rain hit every soldier’s face, white and scared of others
"For the empire, kill!"
In order to gain momentum, the spearmen in front yelled together, and the dense spear tips stood up at the same time, as if a forest of spears suddenly appeared on the wall. Ignoring the gun array in front of me, shouting "Murphy Breaking the Formation", people and horses rushed in like a whirlwind,
"嘡啷" sharp weapon pierced into the armor, sending out a sharp metal friction, the long spear pierced into the abdomen of the horse in front of it, bringing a shower of blood, the cavalry above found it blocked, and bravely jumped off the horse with Without his body, the companion behind pressed the spear that was erected towards the front,
"Stay with it, never shake!" The voice of the commander of the Guards was one after another on the city wall. In the white misty and poetic rain curtain, the heavy armored cavalry flashed like monsters and crashed into the battlements of the city wall. The horses are like the tails of beasts, and they fought fiercely among the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
"Flap! Flap! Flap!" There is a huge disparity in power. The infantry is a natural disadvantage to the cavalry. Although the gun wall is temporarily erected inside, it is facing the strong sinking force. It is like a heavy cavalry crushing the top of a mountain. The pikemen at the position were hit and flew out like a kite with a broken line. They slapped on the defense line of the east wall without much effort. The city wall has already been turned sideways.
Without the support of large infantry groups, relying only on one or several single-bó gun arrays, it is completely impossible to stop the serial impact of heavy cavalry.
Once the heavy horse wearing metal armor breaks through, the opportunity will forcefully squeeze into the crowd behind, and the guards want to make up the hole, not only paying for the blood and corpses of the soldiers, but also the first to rush in The death squad of the cavalry on the wall is the most elite "Murphy Dragon Spear"
30,000 Murphy's heavy armor, only five hundred dragon spears, enough to see his elite
Although in the Southwest and Northwest gambling games, Murphy’s Army lost 150 Drag Lancers, but the remaining 350 Drag Lancers were enough to make the Guards on the wall pay At a heavy price, these dragoon cavalry are elites in battle, fearless to death, and they have a three-ball flail with heavy melee weapons in their hands. As long as they rush into the crowd, they will be flickering with cold light, and the guards will fall down, everywhere. It was the sound of the spear breaking and the cracking of bones. The armor of the dragon lance cavalry was more hòu than other cavalry. The weapon of the Guards slashed on it, and only the sparks that collided with it were seen above. The cavalry is still alive and kicking,
"Damn, monster!"
The huge fear enveloped the soldiers of the Janissaries. In front of these heavy armored cavalry like monsters, the infantry array formed by the Janissaries in a hurry was as if they were smashed into paper. As if the ears of ripe wheat were swept by the wind, falling down row by row,
The rain mixed with blood exploded from the bodies of the soldiers on both sides, and the heavy armored cavalry who slammed into it without fear of death also began to suffer casualties, as if the cavalry was hit by a heavy blow from the horse’s back, but in Behind this cavalry are more heavy cavalry,
"Go ahead and crush them!"
Murphy's Dragon Cavalry behind the Dragon Lancers was killed by the scene in front of them. "The spear broke, and the spear rolled around without a hand, like a purple storm flashing in the thunder of lightning, and the Murphy cavalry who jumped into the city wall by the prancing horse broke the defensive line like a wave,
"Stand up, otherwise everyone will die!"
The Guards have been in chaos. The officers drove the soldiers frantically. The scattered formations of the Pikemen collided with the oncoming heavy horses. The collision of steel and steel, the spears pierced the heavy armor of the cavalry. On, under the swift impact, "Pap Pap" "The spear was overwhelmed with a crisp breaking sound,
"Ah" screams were heard everywhere, the guard infantry who had no way of retreat, the Murphy's dragon cavalry who was impacted stepped heavily under the horse's hoof, and the horse's hoof was full of minced meat, followed by the second row behind. , The third row was crowded with the Imperial Guard infantry because of fear, the horses were crossing the battlements,
"Asshole, forget the Murphy Dragon Cavalry, also known as the Breaking Cavalry!" Stanley Binn shouted at himself stupidly, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked at this scene very helplessly, just now he remembered it. , Murphy’s Dragon Cavalry is known for being very fierce in melee combat in the eastern battlefield. Murphy’s ability to break through the battlefield has been defeated even by the heavy soldiers who are proud of the Central and Biyarians. The light infantry greeted the attack, it was like sending the sheep into the tiger’s mouth. The opponent was bloodbathed all the way, and it was only a matter of time before the East Wall was attacked.
"Master Stanley, I think we should abandon the city wall!" Algernon Julia said with a grim expression beside him, her beautiful eyes seemed to be dyed red by the tragedy of the battlefield at this moment. It was too tragic. Up,
"Abandon the city wall?" Stanley Spencer heard her words, took a deep breath in a stunned expression, and shook his head
"Don’t be so pessimistic, I admit that although the opponent has a sharp offensive, the main force of our army is not damaged, and it is fully possible to continue fighting with it! And our heavy cavalry has not been dispatched yet, as long as the assembly is completed, we can initiate Counterattack, when the enemy is exhausted, the opponent's cavalry is on the wall, but they may not be able to go down!"
"My lord's idea is good, but I must say, if that is the case, then we are really over!"
Algernon. Julia said calmly and slowly, "Although your lord has temporarily given the order to gather heavy cavalry, it is too late. Didn’t the lord realize that the four sub-forts dealt with the eastern wall the most In the low area, the opposing cavalry is like four continuous lines of attack,
In just ten minutes, our hurriedly challenged Janissaries fell 2,000 men, and the four corresponding battlements were all breached without exception. If we continue to persist, the army will be more defeated. More and more, the general situation of our army is truly gone. To be honest, the opponent has completely dominated the battlefield of the wall, as long as there are enough, and sweeping along the wall, even if we have tens of thousands of troops, it is useless! "
Algernon Julia’s voice stopped, she pointed to the city under her feet, and slowly said, "I don’t know if your lord has observed the width of the city wall! The southwest capital city under our feet is really not as wide as I did. After a visual inspection, the width of a full 20 meters is completely inconsistent with the general rule that the city wall is only 8 meters. The southwestern capital is not a military fortress, but it has a gate tower passage that allows ten horses to run side by side. It was specially built by Murphy Obern. From the sub-fort to the city road, he had such a plan for a long time.
" Now he is constantly accumulating troops, seeming to have the advantage, but in fact he is not advancing fast. He basically wants to crush us all like beans on this city road! The soldiers who are constantly breaking down. , Will make us unable to launch a counterattack even if the heavy cavalry is assembled, unless we both crush the ruined army in the middle together"
"If you really care about the lives of soldiers, and the unfavorable situation at the moment, I'm afraid the army will disintegrate all at once! At that time, we will really be powerless"
"Then what should we do? Give up the wall, and we will fall into a point where no danger can be defended!" Stanley Spencer showed hesitation
"Instead of consuming like this, we might as well drag the enemy into the quagmire of urban street fighting." Algernon Julia said in a cold tone. "Murphy O'Brien has 20,000, and we have 40,000, and we have 20. To tens of thousands of people from the Southwest who can make use of, if we want to reflect our advantages, is there a more favorable terrain than the countless vertical and horizontal streets in the city?
"Introduce into the street?" Stanley Bin was stunned, his face hesitated and said, "Even if the opposing cavalry is led into the city streets, our army is nothing to stop, even if there is a street to disperse the opposing force, it is useless. !"
"Who said there is nothing blocking?" Algernon Julia said with blinking eyes, without hesitation,
" What does "Sister Xiaoyu mean?" Stanley Spencer looked confused. He had never imagined the street fighting after the city broke, and naturally he was not prepared, but Algernon Julia had a confident look on his face, making He also feels puzzled
Algernon Julia sneered at the corner of her mouth, "Your Excellency forgot, but we control the entire southwestern capital. We can completely drive all the Southwesterners into the streets. These untouchables are our natural barriers to stop the ink. The iron hooves of the Filipino cavalry could not be more suitable, and we only need to send troops to launch a sudden attack in the rear.
In the face of a large number of civilians blocking the road, hehe, I also want to see if he Murphy Obern has such a cruel order to launch an attack! If he ordered an attack on civilians, he would be ruined in the southwest, if he hesitated. . . . . "Algernon Julia has a cruel sneer at the corner of her mouth. "As long as the opponent's morale is unsustainable, or there is a turmoil in the military, our heavy cavalry has the opportunity to take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, and Murphy is proud of it. The cavalry broke! "
" Use civilians to block and send troops to attack, is that too..." Stanley Spencer secretly slapped his tongue, his face pale, his lips trembled a few times, and his eyes were a little frightened. Looked at Algernon Julia next to him,
This woman's heart is really not so cruel! , That is a full 200,000 Southwesterners. If they were piled up with corpses, they could be built as high as the city wall. This woman actually thought of using 200,000 Southwestern civilians as a barrier to contain Murphy’s cavalry. This cold-blooded strategy has been To a certain extent, I think of the previous tragic night raid on Long Street, the scene where this woman urged her subordinates to fight to the death, even Stanley Spencer, who is used to seeing the battlefield veteran of the dead mountain blood sea like this, feels chills in his back. , But he can’t deny that this method is really good.
Regardless of Murphy Obern's choice, the balance of this war has already tilted to his side in advance.
"Master Stanley, His Majesty the Emperor has given you a heavy responsibility. The Northwest is no longer possible. If the Southwest is... But it is just 200,000 untouchables. Do you need to take care of this?" Algernon Julia looked hesitantly. The undecided Stanley Spencer, his autumn eyebrows curled slightly, his tone was cold and chilling, as if the rain was lost in front of him,
" Okay! That’s all there is now." Stanley Spencer finally nodded affirmatively. After all, he was a person from the sea of blood on the corpse mountain. When you put down all your compassion and completely replace it with an arrangement for the enemy, The coldness of the Eastern star is not lost to Algernon Julia,
After all, this is the southwest far away from the core area of the empire. Murphy Obune has already torn his face in the empire. This time, if the southwest can be calmed down, the emperor’s thorn in the eyes of the emperor will be removed. Not much to each other, but the two didn't know that their selfishness ignited the flames of war that ignited the entire Gaul Empire.
"Report that our army has occupied the east wall!"
The report from the front gave Murphy Obern's face finally a hint of joy. The rain in the sky was much smaller, the sky was dark, the air pressure was very low, and it was too low to breathe. The rain was falling. On the high city wall, the battlement mouth stained with the blood of the soldiers on both sides, the white raindrops were swaying, ups and downs in the wind, stretched out his lonely posture to his heart, just two hours of offensive and defensive battle, let Li It has become a sea of blood. Under the washing of rain, red water flows down from the city wall, and the whole city seems to be crying
"We are up town!"
Murphy Obern waved his hand excitedly, and brought his subordinates onto the wooden planks leading to the battlements. His face was filled with the movement to regain control of the overall situation, and on the other side, he was given orders. The Imperial Guards were entering the city in a disintegrated situation. They rushed into every corner of the city like wolves, driving out all the Southwesterners they saw from the house. The old people and children were not spared. Soon, the street The alleys were crowded with people from the southwest. The Guards drove these people to the east and west areas, which was the direction of the city gate. The streets crowded with people for a while can be described as impenetrable.
Ofeo's Boone who has just boarded the wall has gotten off the horse. He has just received a report that most of the guards on the wall have been broken, and now the entire wall has fallen into his hands. He ordered the opening of the two sides of the wall. The city gate, let more Murphy cavalry enter the city, he looked deeply at the majestic city houses in front of him, thinking about how to find the **** Stanley Spencer
"My lord, the access of the third squadron is blocked!"
"My lord, the entry of the seventh squadron is blocked!"
Just when his heart was surging~IndoMTL.com~ The sudden report made his heart cold
"What, did you say that the Guards drove civilians to block the road?" Ofi O'Brien's angrily hand grabbed the reporter by the collar of the soldier, the jī movement on his face was accidentally interrupted, and he was in charge of the Southwest For 2 months, he had become accustomed to calling himself a Southwester. He didn't expect that the Guards broke through the wall and played such a hand. What does the opponent want? It would be a joke if blocking the road can stop one's own iron shoes
"Yes, my lord, all the roads into the inner zone are completely blocked!" The report soldier's face paled in fright,
"Take me to see!"
Ofeo's Boone took a deep breath, and his face was gloomy. The soldiers hurriedly took him. At a distance of five hundred meters from the inner zone, Opheo's Boone had to stop the horse. The whip even fell to the ground with a snap
The sight in front of his eyes made his eyebrows completely twisted together. It was really despicable. The anger in Opheo's eyes could kill people.
I saw that the street in front was already crowded with people. They weren’t warring Imperial Guard infantry. They were countless Southwestern civilians. Many of them were old people, children, and women. Many of them were young and middle-aged. Crowded together, crying and wailing
"Don't kill us!" A cry and wailing sounded high into the sky, and his cavalry could only stare at these civilians.
