Power and Empire Chapter 1645: Southwest Rebellion (9)

June rain, hitting the face with a rare coldness, Murphy Obern rode a war horse like a sharp blade that cuts off a rain curtain, rushing towards the vice-fort of the capital, and his horse hoof raised the muddy water on the ground. Behind him, more than a dozen Murphy's dragon cavalry followed, in the direction of the deputy fort, the Murphy's cavalry with red cloth strips representing the idea of ​​revenge on their heads were driving their horses and stepping on the temporary pedals built up. They swarmed up, the red ribbons on their heads fluttered behind, miraculously attacking the city wall with cavalry, and completely caught the guards guarding the east wall by surprise.

It led to the tragic war that later historians called "Southwestern Death",

The tragedy is 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 history of imperial affairs.

"Wow"

The battle wind broke, and the imperial guards on the wall were mobilizing their forces 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 resist with all your strength, there are those who fled without authorization, kill!"

A regular Janitor officer felt the turmoil of his subordinates and drew his saber at the front of the queue, shouting hoarsely, "Everyone stay steady! There are those who dare to escape! The survivors after the war, Enter the Guards!" But his inspiring voice, and the densely pressing Murphy's dragon cavalry at the position of the deputy fort below, seem so small,

"Hold up the battle flag, and the commando will go to the city!"

Murphy Obern's horse stopped below the vice fort, raised his head, his eyes full of revenge flashed like blood. He sent people to attack the east to make the imperial guards insufficient at the east gate. The 2,000 heavy cavalry were divided into four groups and flew towards the four sub-forts. He directly ordered his subordinates to erect their battle flags on the enemy’s. Within the range of the arrow cluster, his move immediately brought the morale of Murphy's dragon cavalry to its zenith

"Stanley Spencer, you coward, dare to come out for a fight!" Murphy O'Brien's voice that shook the entire battlefield penetrated the rain curtain, and the face of the Guards above was whiter. The long sword in his hand fell, as if cutting off the rain curtain and pointing towards the city wall. The sharp blades of the 200 heavy cavalry in each team raised their horses, like a tsunami landslide, stepping on the thick solid wood panels of the sub-fort and the city wall and rushing up the city wall. The Guards hurriedly erected dense lances, and the rain hit every soldier’s face, white and scared of others

"For the empire, kill!"

To build momentum. The spearmen in front yelled all together, and the dense spear tips stood up at the same time, as if a forest of spears suddenly appeared on the city wall, and the cavalry rushing wildly ignored the spear formation in front of them. He shouted "Murphy Breaking the Array", and the horse and the man just rushed in like a whirlwind,

The "嘡啷" sharp weapon pierced into the armor, sending out a sharp metal friction, and the spear pierced the belly of the horse in front of him. Bringing a shower of blood, the cavalry above found it blocked and jumped off the horse bravely. Use your body to hold down the spear that is erected towards the front for the companion behind,

"Hold up and never waver!" The voice of the commander of the Imperial Guard came one after another on the city wall. In the white misty and poetic rain curtain, the heavy armored cavalry flashing like monsters crashed into the battlements of the city wall, huge The war horse is like the tail of a beast, and it beats fiercely among the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

"Papa! Papa! Papa!" There is a huge disparity in strength. The infantry is a natural disadvantage to the cavalry. Although a wall of guns has been temporarily erected inside, it sinks vigorously and is crushed by heavy cavalry like 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 a few thin spear arrays, it is completely impossible to stop the serial impact of heavy cavalry.

Once the heavy horse wearing a metal armor breaks through, the opportunity will forcefully squeeze into the crowd behind, and the Guards want to make up the hole. What they pay is not only the blood and corpses of the soldiers, but also the first to rush in. The death squads of the cavalry on the wall are the most sharp "Murphy Dragon Spear"

Thirty thousand Murphy's heavy armor, only five hundred dragon spears, enough to see him jīng sharp

Although in the Southwest and Northwest gambling games, Murphy’s Army lost one hundred and fifty dragoons, but the remaining 350 dragoons were enough to cost the imperial guards on the wall. At a heavy price, these dragoon cavalry are fierce and fierce in battle. They have a three-ball flail with a heavy melee weapon in their hands. As long as they rush into the crowd, they will be swept by the cold light, and the guards will fall down, everywhere. It was the sound of smashing spears and cracking bones. The armor of the dragon lance cavalry was thicker than that of other cavalry. The weapons of the Guards slashed on it, and only sparks that collided with it could be seen. The cavalry is still alive and kicking,

"Holy shit, monster!"

Huge fear enveloped the hearts of 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. The soldiers were like encounters. Ripe wheat ears that were swept by the wind, fell row by row,

The rain mixed with blood exploded from the bodies of the soldiers on both sides, and the heavy armored cavalry, who was not afraid of death, began to suffer casualties. The cavalry was thrown off the horse as if it was hit by a heavy blow, but in Behind this cavalry are more heavy cavalry,

"Go ahead and crush them!"

The Murphy Dragon Cavalry behind the Dragoons was killed by the scene in front of them. "The spear broke, and the spearman rolled to the ground, like a purple storm flashing in the thunder and lightning, and the Murphy cavalry who jumped into the city wall on the prancing horse broke the defensive line like a wave,

"Hold it 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 retreating, the Murphy's dragon cavalry who had been impacted, stepped heavily under their horses' hooves, and their horses' hooves were covered with ground meat. Immediately there is the second row behind, and the third row is crowded with the infantry of the Imperial Guard because of fear. The horses are crossing the battlements.

"Asshole, forget the Murphy Dragon Cavalry, also known as the Breaking Cavalry!" Stanley Binsai shouted at himself stupidly, his eyes were bloodshot and he was looking at this scene very helplessly. At this moment he remembered it. In the Eastern battlefield, Murphy's Dragon Cavalry is known for being very fierce in close combat, and Murphy's ability to break the formation. Even the heavy military leader Gebing who is proud of the people of China and Biyadh has been defeated before, and now he is attacking with light infantry, it is simply sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth, the other party bloodbaths all the way, and it is only a matter of time before the east wall is attacked. /

"Master Stanley, I think we should abandon the city wall!" Algernon Julia said grimly beside him suddenly, her beautiful eyes seemed to have been dyed red by the tragedy of the battlefield at this moment. It's too tragic,

"Abandon the city wall?" Stanley Spencer heard her, taking a deep breath in astonishment on his face, and shook his head

"Don’t be so pessimistic. I admit that although the opponent's offensive is sharp, 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, as long as the assembly is complete. We can initiate Counterattack, when the enemy is exhausted, the opposing cavalry is on the wall. It may not be possible to go down!"

"My lord's idea is good, but I must say, if that is the case, then we are really done!"

Algernon Julia said calmly and slowly, "Although the 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 lowest wall in the east? In the low area, the opposing cavalry are like four endless lines of attack,

However, in just ten minutes, our hurriedly challenged Guards fell 2,000 men, and the four corresponding battlements were all breached without exception. If we continue to persevere, 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, and she pointed to the city under her feet, and slowly said, "I don't know if you have observed the width of the city wall! The southwestern capital city under our feet is really not so wide, I just 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 has a gate tower passage that is enough for 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 accumulating troops, seeming to have his advantage, but in fact he is not advancing fast. He basically wants to crush us all like beans on this city road! Soldiers who are constantly falling apart , 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 are so reckless about the lives of soldiers, coupled with the current unfavorable situation, I am afraid that the army will be disintegrated immediately! At that time, we will really be unable to recover."

"Then what should we do? Abandon the wall, we will fall into a point where no danger can be defended!" Stanley Spencer showed hesitation

"Instead of spending like this, we might as well drag the enemy into the quagmire of urban street fighting" Algernon Julia said coldly, "Murphy Obern has 20,000, and we have 40,000, and 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 the streets?" 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 are streets to disperse the opposing force, it is useless. !"

"Who said there is nothing blocking" Algernon Julia said with flashing eyes, without hesitation,

"What did the miss 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 **** on his face, let him I also feel confused

Algernon Julia sneered, "Your Excellency forgot, but we control the entire southwestern capital. We can 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.

Faced with a large number of civilians blocking the road. Haha, I also want to see if he Murphy Obern has such a cruel order to 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, isn't that too..." Stanley Spencer was secretly stunned. His face was pale, his lips trembled a few times, and his eyes looked at Algernon Julia next to him with a little fear,

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. Reminiscent 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, also felt a chill in his back. But he can't deny that this method is really quite good,

No matter what Murphy Obone chooses, the balance of this war has been 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 only 200,000 untouchables. Do you need this kind of care?" 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! There is only that now." Stanley Spencer finally nodded affirmatively. After all, he was a person from the sea of ​​blood in the dead mountain. When all compassion was put down, it was completely replaced 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 did not 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 made Murphy Obern's face finally show a hint of joy. The rain in the sky was much lighter, and the sky above was dark. The air pressure was so low that it was so low that it was raining. Hit on the high city wall, the battlement mouth stained with the blood of the soldiers on both sides, the white raindrops are swaying, ups and downs in the wind, stretched out his lonely posture to his heart, just two hours of offensive and defensive battle , Rangli has become a sea of ​​blood. Under the washing of the rain, the red water flows down from the city wall, and the whole city seems to be crying

"We are up town!"

The **** Murphy Obern waved his hand in excitement, and brought his subordinates onto the plank leading to the battlement. His face was filled with excitement of regaining control of the whole situation, and on the other side, he was ordered to ban The 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 streets and alleys were not spared. It was 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.

Opheo Boone, who just boarded the city wall, has stepped down from the war horse. He has just received a report that most of the guards on the city wall have been broken. Now the entire city 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 access of the 7th Squadron is blocked!"

Just when his heart was surging, the sudden report made his heart cold

"What, did you say that the Guards drove the civilians to block the road?" Ofi O'Brien's angrily hand grabbed the reporter's collar, the excitement on his face was accidentally interrupted, and he was ruling Southwest 2 In the past month, he has become accustomed to calling himself a Southwester~IndoMTL.com~ He didn't expect that the Guards broke through the wall and played such a trick. What does the other party 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 shock,

"Take me to see!"

Opheo Buen took a deep breath, his face solemnly ordered, and the soldiers hurriedly took him. At a distance of 500 meters from the inner area, Ofe Obune had to stop the horse, The horse whip even fell to the ground with a snap

The sight in front of him makes his eyebrows completely twisted together. It is really despicable. The anger in Opheo's eyes can kill people.

I saw that the street in front was already crowded with people. They were not the infantry soldiers of the Imperial Guard. There were countless Southwestern civilians. Many of them were elderly, children, and women. Many of them were young and middle-aged. Crowded together, crying and wailing

"Don't kill us!" A cry and wailing rose into the sky, and his cavalry could only stare at these civilians.
