Power and Empire Chapter 1659: Grid (4)

　　 A mountain area outside the Ditru Highland

　　

　　Saron’s horse stopped at the edge of the hill, behind which was a swarm of cavalry swarming across the mountains

　　

　　 Under his cold eyes, a patch of black land came into his eyes, what a wonderful land! Saron licked his lips, his face didn't mean any guilt, he just felt sorry for the food lost due to the harvest,

　　

　　 This year’s Western Obaro has a rare good weather. There is a big harvest everywhere, especially in the northwest. On the land where wars have spread, there are golden wheat waves everywhere. If you can choose, he of course is not willing Do such a thing,

　　

　　 Burning the unharvested wheat fields, the impact of this is not just as simple as the lack of food. Anyone who sees the wheat that he has cultivated for a year is burned to ashes by a fire just before the harvest, that kind of cruel The desperate blow is the most deterrent for the locals,

　　

　　 With the full retreat of the Eighth Army of Gaul, the Falcon Army began to accept some cities in the Rusty region. Because of the previous behavior of burning food, these cities almost without exception chose to give up resistance. The brutality seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Gauls have no doubt that once they resist, they will attract cruel revenge from the northwestern rebels. These black demons, who can burn the wheat fields without hesitation, will also not hesitate to turn to the disobedient. Swing down the butcher knife.

　　

　　 The Gaul called these rebels from the northwest as the magic army, especially these army wearing black armor, when they pass through the city streets neatly, it seems that even the air is filled with a **** smell. The Gauls hid behind the window and looked at the aliens who entered the city. In just a dozen days, on the fertile land that had been burned, dots of wild flowers had grown, and you could see them everywhere on both sides of the road. The pure white color embellishes it,

　　

　　 If it hadn't been known in advance, such a peaceful scene, absolutely no one would associate all this with the **** battlefield that is about to unfold.

　　

　　"The army was sent to rest on the spot! The Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Nakaruo Central Army went to the opposite side to set up an ambush!"

　　

　　Saron retracted his gaze from a distance and looked up at the sky. It seemed that the time was too early. He turned to the commander of the guard behind him, and the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him came down from the horse with the order, followed by the rush. The infantry team that came, crushed a black head. This time, Saron was ordered to lead 10,000 Central Army cavalry to cooperate with the Fifth Infantry Standard Regiment to ambush the Gaul Army that attacked Dutru Heights from Keyan Fort. According to intelligence, this The army that came out of Keyanbao was originally aimed at the empty Dutru highlands. Strategically speaking, it has considerable foresight and deterrence, which proves that Heberi of the Gaul Eighth Army is not a fool. It is a pity, Your Majesty Falcon. Doing even more ruthlessly, I defeated Ke Yanbao first, and beheaded the Eighth Army of Gaul with a single blow.

　　

　　The sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream makes the forest more peaceful. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the tips of the woods, dragging a long tail,

　　

　　 Both the homing birds and the foraging beasts are far away from this peaceful highland. The cavalry of the Central Army of the Central Army unloaded the heavy stirrups from the horses, allowing the horses to graze with their heads down and leisurely. They took out all kinds of weapons and equipment from the weapon slots on the hips of the horses, and put them carefully. On the ground,

　　

　　The soldiers sit on the ground and wipe the bright blade with a moist cotton cloth. The cautious look on their faces is like admiring their most beloved woman. The sun is sparse and the gloomy early autumn chill covers the people below. Black woods.

　　

　　 The wind blows the dark clouds, and there is a black sullen color in the sky. The wind hung over the grass and made a rustling noise among the trees.

　　

　　" My lord, will the enemy really pass by here?" The captain of the guard next to him asked a little uncertainly

　　

　　" To be honest, I’m not sure." Saraon was sitting on the ground, examining the topographical map in his hand, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Shocked, the original Eighth Army shrank a large number of defenses. Your Majesty personally arranged the plan. The 40,000 Gaul troops who attacked from Keyanbao have already broken the way to retreat. If the opponent does not want to completely become an abandoned army, the only way is to find a way to detour. , In order to avoid our army’s locks! If the opponent chooses a detour, this is the only way to go. Your Majesty deliberately only arranged a thousand soldiers in the front pass. The opponent’s scouts should soon find out that this is Their best breakthrough!"

　　

　　 "It turns out that if there are only a thousand defenders, the opponent will try desperately even if they know that they may encounter danger!" The captain of the guards face was stunned.

　　

　　 At one o'clock noon, the sky was a little clearer, and a messenger rushed in and whispered, "My lord, there is a smoke from the alarm!"

　　

　　 "It seems to be here, let everyone prepare!" Salong looked nervous and got up from the ground, raised her head, and she saw a black plume of smoke straight up to the sky in the direction of the pass. The other cavalry also became nervous, one after another. The war horse running towards the edge of the woods,

　　

　　 "All on horses" the cavalry captains yelled for peace, and the falcon cavalry stepped on their horses and took the time to check the equipment on his body. After half an hour, they were under the hill where the woods were. , The Falcon Army queues as decoys came along the trails all the time,

　　

　　 The team was a little denser, and they broke and hurriedly crossed a red clay ditch, and continued to move forward. No officer came out to maintain the queue, the team passed, and the soldiers were terrified. The weapons and flags in their hands had long been abandoned on the ground as instructed.

　　

　　"Lasco, this guy, is it a bit too much!"

　　

　　Saron saw his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Rasco was the officer who served as the decoy this time. He executed the decoy's orders to the fullest, even doing better than required, and fleeing in such a disorderly manner. , If you are a commander in Gaul, you will also believe that this is a troop that has been completely defeated.

　　

　　 was just a little worried, whether it was a failure to pretend to be too much, at least it was a force of thousands of people, under his worried gaze, after the decoy defeated army passed, the plain below was silent. The weeds in the distance were swaying with the wind, and the wind blew past.

　　

　　 "My lord, will the enemy come?" The captain of the guard was a little worried,

　　

　　 "Yes!" Salong pretended to be calm, but he was also a little bit unsure in his heart. There is more than this way to bypass the Falcon Army's control area. If the other party finds something wrong, he can choose at any time. Withdraw,

　　

　　 Twenty minutes later, Salon’s ears suddenly stood up and came, and everyone’s faces were immediately filled with a strong fighting spirit

　　

　　 A faint hustle and bustle of soldiers and horses came from the mountain road below. In the direction of the pass, a group of Gaul infantry soon appeared, and then more Gaul infantry, more and more. In a sea of ​​people like a tide, you can clearly see the flags flying by the Gallic army and the colorful team signs, which are the emblems of their army.

　　

　　"Gaul Eighth Army!" Salon stared at the Legion logo that appeared below. For the past two weeks, he was ordered to lead the cavalry to implement harassment tactics within the Eighth Army. The sign is too familiar, yes, this is the goal!

　　

　　Saron grinned slightly. The Gaul army below is the fourth and fifth infantry regiments of the Gaul Eighth Army that he has been waiting for. Both infantry regiments have suffered their own attacks. The army flag is so familiar. The last time I was beaten so badly by myself, this time I fell into my own hands. Is this fate? You can't blame others for this.

　　

　　 "All teams pay attention to safety distance!"

　　

　　 On the Gaul side, Roosegain of the Fifth Army is commanding the army to move forward. The army is moving fast, looking a little messy, and the cavalry and infantry are advancing together. The harsh noise is like a group of sparrows suddenly coming,

　　

　　The two infantry regiments of the Gaul Eighth Army, the fourth and fifth infantry regiments, and the 40,000 troops of the Gaul Eighth Army, which were ordered to attack the Dutru Heights from Keyanbao, continuously poured out from the pass, and soon The plain below is full, and the queue gradually slows down.

　　

　　 Roy Gayn, who was in charge of leading the former army, suddenly stopped the horse. The terrain in front of him touched his heart a little bit. He felt that the terrain was really dangerous. The two highlands looked down in the middle. Breaking through easily made him feel a little abnormal. This time, his inner hunch is even stronger

　　

　　 "All troops stop advancing!" Roy Gayn raised his hand high and commanded loudly, "Scout, go to the opposite side and take a look!" Hearing the order, a dozen cavalry were separated from the team. Riding horses to the highlands on both sides are scout cavalry sent to scout the highlands on both sides.

　　

　　 "Send a message to the infantry team! It's time to start"

　　

　　Saron watched quietly. He was prepared for such a situation. This time, His Majesty Falcon arranged the ambush himself. The left and right sides are the ambush points. He is the cavalry on the other side. Infantry, use infantry as bait and cavalry to make a final decision. This is the arrangement of His Majesty Falcon.

　　

　　Saron slightly raised his hand, and a guard cavalry behind him quickly took down the assault crossbow behind him in accordance with the order.

　　

　　, facing the other direction of the hills, shot a cluster of arrows with blue smoke tails. The blue tails of light flashed in the sky, because the uplift of the hills blocked the line of sight, so they were facing The Gaul scout cavalry close here did not see it,

　　

　　 "It's a signal!"

　　

　　The pupils of Reposti, the leader of the Fifth Infantry Banner of the Central Army’s Fifth Infantry, who squatted in the opposite grass, shrank slightly.

　　

　　"Woo, woo" The long bugle suddenly remembered. In an instant, from the grassy high ground on the south side opposite the cavalry ambush, a whole team of falcon crossbowmen appeared suddenly, and three thousand crossbowmen faced each other. The sky raised the crossbow,

　　

　　"Watch out for the arrows", the Gaul scout who discovered the situation yelled in a panic. As soon as the voice fell, the sound of countless sharp arrows tearing the sky was heard, and countless black spots rose. That terrible feeling made The scout cavalry felt the entire scalp explode from the inside out. His shouting was late, and countless clusters of arrows were already like shadows flying by, whizzing from the top of the mound in the distance, from the top of his head, "Papa "Pap" the arrow rain plunged into the Gaolu Junzhong below, bringing up a large crowd of people screaming,

　　

　　The sharp Mitsubishi arrows, from all angles, plunged deeply into the armors of thousands of Gaul soldiers, bringing a fluffy bright red dazzling red in their bodies, and countless Gaul soldiers were swarmed by arrows from their heads. The whole head is exploded by strong force

　　

　　"On the high ground on the left, there is an ambush"

　　

　　 The talents of Gaul reacted from the horrible situation before them, and the dense rain of arrows fell again like pouring raindrops, "Finalize! Formed!" The Gaul infantry and cavalry were mixed, and the various troops staggered and hindered each other. The soldiers ran around dazedly, the officers screamed hoarse, their horses kicked their hooves eagerly, and ran away frantically, throwing the cavalry above them down, and a group of archers who remained intact were hurriedly transferred to the front. Before they entered the shooting range, they were shot over by the crossbowman

　　

　　"My lord, our striker has fallen asleep!"

　　

　　Roy Gayn, commander of the 5th Gaul Infantry Regiment who just came up from behind, happened to see this scene, and a trace of panic flashed across his face,

　　

The news of the loss of 　　 Ke Yanbao has arrived. The commander of the regiment He Baili died in battle. The entire Eighth Corps is already a group of dragons without a leader, and all armies are retreating. This means the tactics previously set by the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments. It completely failed. Roy Gayn and Mark Yesu immediately chose to return to the army. The original road was nowhere to go. As the fat man expected, the two chose to detour the mountain road relatively deviated from the center area.

　　

　　"At all costs, take down the high ground on the left!"

　　

　　 Roy Gain soon realized that the number of Northwestern rebels who had ambushed him was not large, which was around five thousand, and immediately ordered the Gaul army to adopt a wave attack, forming a line of scattered troops to attack from the bottom of the mountain. , To disperse the rebel shooters who blocked them, the black crowd spread out like a wave of orders, rushing to the left violently.

　　

　　"Long live the Falcon Empire!" On the opposite side of the high ground on the left, the mountain shook suddenly! Soldiers and horses gallop forward, like a storm! Salon led ten thousand central cavalrymen into the back of the Gaul army like a tide,

"Turn your head, the enemy is behind!" The Gaul officer screamed, and the huge queue began to shake. The soldiers hesitated to turn their heads and turned their spears hurriedly. The densely layered forward wave formation turns hurriedly

Body, the central cavalry of the falcon has plunged in like a cluster of arrows, tens of thousands of dangling sabers swept like a tide of metal, and the heavy horses tore apart the Gaul's queue. , After crashing into the side of the Gaul army, one

The blade of knives shines like snow, dazzling, and horseshoes rumbling.

　　

　　"ah"

　　

　　"Help"

　　

　　 The Gauls resounded with a terrifying cry. Seeing the rainbow-like momentum of the northwestern rebel cavalry, no one dared to resist on the attack line.

　　

　　 "Go ahead!" Saran took the lead, and the horse under his hips stepped on the pale Gaul infantry with a frightened look in front of him. The two swords in his hand smashed down vigorously, and the round head was sprayed with blood. In mid-air, behind him, the entire row of Gaul soldiers was trampled by more war horses, and the cold light of the swords flashed under the black clouds with chilling luster

　　

　　 "Damn, Cavalry!"

　　

　　 The Gaul soldiers turned their spear heads, discarded their armor, and hurriedly flashed to both sides,

　　

　　 The chaotic array immediately dispersed like water. The attack line composed of thousands of black cavalry, like a sharp blade cut into the hot rolling butter, was hardly sniped. The hooves of the central cavalry were already Pierced into the back of the Gaul army fiercely,

"Papa" With a clear and terrifying tearing sound, the spikes on the front of the Falcon Cavalry’s vest smashed the Gaul infantry's formation, and the Gaul soldiers were knocked out. Or be taken around the ground, the corpse

On the road that was full of cavalry rushing down, in terms of numbers, at least more than a thousand Gauls died in the first blow, and the wounded fell to the ground even more. , In the rocks on the ground that haven’t dried up yet, all

The red blood is flowing, and the wounded lie on the ground and make weak or stern shouts

　　

　　A Gaul squadron holding a team flag, just like a dam hit by a flood, it was torn in an instant

Open, before even the basic resistance, I was trampled by the horses of countless cavalry, and the two thousand-man teams from two outsiders just turned around and met the oncoming cavalry, although they still managed to support For a while, but soon too

Squeezed to collapse by the multiple layers of Falcon cavalry, almost a thousand soldiers did not survive

　　

　　" is the cavalry of the Northwestern Rebels! "In the Gaul rear army that has not yet been affected, Roy Gayn looked pale and watched the steel torrent drowning his team. The entire six squadrons of infantry were just like that. After rushing away, he was suddenly angry and roared wildly, barking like a pig being slaughtered miserably,

　　

　　 was the first to encounter an ambush, he served as the fifth infantry regiment of the former army, and then quickly spread to the fourth infantry regiment behind. Thousands of defeated soldiers were as unstoppable as a flood gap. The soldiers lost their helmets and armor. Once the army collapses, it is difficult to recover.

　　

　　 looked stupidly at this miserable scene~IndoMTL.com~ Watching his subordinates being slaughtered by the enemy like lambs, watching his painstakingly planned army defeated like water, in an instant, Roy Gayn and There are only two words left in the minds of the two Gaul commanders in Mark Yesu, "despair."

　　

　　On a hill not far away, a group of cavalry stood there quietly. The Fatty looked back from the battlefield in the distance and looked up at the sky.

　　

　　 The clouds in the sky are still so unpredictable, the setting sun line that is about to fall draws a red line on the distant horizon, which seems to indicate something

　　

　　 On July 18, the two infantry regiments of the Gaul Eighth Army deep into the Dutru region were quietly annihilated by the Falcon Army. More than 25,000 Gaul soldiers died in battle, 13,000. People were captured, and the final combat effectiveness of the Gaul Eighth Army was wiped out.

　　

　　 The entire Rasty’s strategic balance truly fell to the Falcon Empire. From the fat man’s decision to take the initiative to the end of the raid,

　　

　　 lasted 12 days and fought 14 times, defeating 73,000 people of the Gaul Eighth Army, and four infantry commanders under Hebaili, the commander of the Eighth Army, died.

Although the number of people annihilated in this battle was not conspicuous in the previous battles of the Falcon Army, it reversed the strategic initiative of the Gauls in the Rusty region in one fell swoop. The plan for the Southwest Campaign that the Emperor of Gaul painstakingly arranged has been Announce the stream in advance

Production, forced to switch from a strategic offense to a strategic defense. (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. ) Bring @Peas. @TB小红鸡@神韵有意@小乐鸡
