Power and Empire Chapter 1697: Universal Battle (3)
The northern part of Gangfei Empire, Mopu Plateau
The cold winter is almost forgotten on this semi-prairie plateau. Large lakes and stars dot the plateau. Mopu plateau is a hilly land from west to east in the northern part of the Congo Fei Empire. This desolate piece of land Above Woyuan, densely forested and flat, it is located between the tributaries and the main stream of the Mopu River in Congo. The water flows through. The two water systems separate more than 100 rivers to irrigate the fertile soil. The long and short rivers are intertwined like silver threads. The pastures are lush and stretch across meadows and grasslands, which are forest grasslands and dry grasslands. The flat terrain that stretches straight to the sky and resembles a large green carpet is slowly advancing. This place is rich in cattle, horses and deer. Walking through it, from time to time I saw them galloping in groups or wandering grazing in the distance.
"Papa" horseshoes raised the dirt on the ground heavily. A team of prairie scout cavalry with fur hats and bows on their backs suddenly stopped on a mound, and the scout captain restrained the horse’s head. His gaze looked far away vigilantly like a cold light, seeming to be examining something. The sky had just been raining, and the air was filled with a fresh and cold smell. The horses' hoof stepped on the soft mud of the watery grass and made a creak. Voice, this is a group of cavalry in charge of patrol in the East Court, the leader of the cavalry squad leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery around,
The wilderness, the wind blows, like a pair of invisible hands gently brushing across, the earth is boundless, what a beautiful place, the vast place where people forget their existence, the team leader Zamuk has a dark heart. With a sigh, it reminded him of his hometown. Gang Fei’s sudden repentance made many Dongting people hate it.
The first sacred first snow memorial is of great significance to the prairie people. It is full of the tribe’s hope for the coming year. The cruel winter is an extreme test for any tribe. Only in the first snow memorial is it dedicated to the longevity day. The most pious tribes are likely to be blessed by the eternal life. Let the children, women, elderly, cattle and sheep of the tribe spend a lot of winter not weaker than a war,
can’t go back, I just hope to see the memorial scene in my dream!
This is the first time in Zamuke’s 31-year life that he has spent the winter in a place that is not a grassland
Compared with the wind and snow, and the remnant winter of the grassland, where the land is frozen for thousands of miles, this place seems to be peaceful, without the cold Mobei wind sweeping the world. There is no cold night wind that can freeze a cow and a horse to death in one night. Although it is so beautiful, Zamuk still likes his hometown. The lone wolf’s sun should not be so warm, nor should it be so thick. In the thick clouds, it is like a cold ball of light covered with a layer of frizzy leather,
The sun of the longevity sky is a navigation mark to guide the migration of the tribe, the wizard of the grassland tribe. According to the changes in the sun, it will analyze the climate after a few days and avoid disasters in time. If it is such a frizzy aperture, the tribe will suffer a great loss. It may even be due to a misjudgment that the people, cattle and sheep were blown away by a big storm that was hundreds of miles away in one night, and there were no bones left!
The water here is flowing. It’s not a thick layer of ice that allows the horse to step on it without leaving a mark
I stretched out my hand here, I could feel the light radiating from the air. Nothing shines on the body is warm, open your eyes and see the endless blue sky, in such an environment, even the lone wolf with the toughest bones will become a shepherd dog that has lost fighting spirit. In human understanding, the cruel winter is the test of the longevity sky for the most powerful warrior on the earth. Only by experiencing the cold winter of the grassland can you understand why the grassland people are so afraid of death and bravely fighting. . "Get your energy up, the enemy may appear at any time!" Zamuk ordered to the listless subordinates behind him. He walked around the patrol border and stopped on the edge of a river with abundant water and grass. The clear water and tender water. The grass stopped the horses under the crotch of the cavalry.
Zamuk looked at it at random, nothing happened. Although it said that the Gangfei army might take the initiative to attack, it has been eight days and nothing happened at all. Zamuk has to wonder if the above is too careful. Up
"Goode, you take ten people to continue forward 5 miles, and then return to join us." Stopped the horse, Zamuk shouted to a shrewd and capable cavalry behind him, "The others rest on the spot." The 10-man cavalry continued to move forward, and more prairie cavalry turned over and dismounted cheeringly, and one by one took out the cowhide sacs filled with water and poured them into the cold and clean river water
For them, the coldness is still acceptable. Just as the East Court cavalry was washing the horses by the river with clean water, an East Court cavalry who was bent over to wash his face suddenly stood up and pointed to the west side. In the distance, he shouted, "Look, what is that?"
Zamuk hurriedly stood up, only took a look, and his face changed greatly and shouted, "Quickly, get ready to fight right away, you are not human!" The East Court cavalry who was taking a rest hurriedly ran around. The saddle was re-installed on the horse, and some even searched for the horse that ran far away to graze. It was quite chaotic
"Assault!" In the direction of the grassy hill to the west, dozens of swift black lines wrapped in the raised soil, and rushed toward this side aggressively. The cavalry above was wearing a light iron armor with a pointed blue on his head. With a blue helmet and a long cavalry spear in his hand, when the distance was about 100 meters, the compound bows held high by the East Court cavalry bounced off one after another, and a cluster of arrows that fell like raindrops fell down with death whistling,
"Be careful! Watch out for their arrows!"
Gangfei cavalry shouted, neatly raising the cross shield in his hand to protect the whole body behind,
Arrows shot on these well-forged iron shields, and they were bounced away, making a dull sound like raindrops,
But not all the Gangfei cavalry are so lucky. On the left side of the assault queue, several young Gangfei cavalry lacked combat experience. The horses under the crotch were shot by arrows and made a terrible sound. He shook and rolled on the ground, and the cavalry on it was thrown out like a toy.
"Assault"
Seeing such a tragic situation, the Gangfei cavalry who initiated the charge were unmoved. The leader of the Gangfei cavalry captain shouted with blood and red. The entire cavalry queue began to accelerate, like a violent wind. This is An unexpected encounter.
"Just not long live!"
The Gangfei Ranger cavalry shouted in unison the slogan representing bravery, like a dark cloud behind their captain, the arrow clusters above their heads fell with a sharp whistling sound, and people were constantly being shot by the arrows, but Most of the cavalry quickly crossed this death distance.
Because the speed is too fast, the Eastern Cavalry was caught off guard,
"Ready to fight!" Zamuk pulled out his scimitar with a cold expression, his eyes fiercely watching the fast approaching Gangfei cavalry "behind him, yelling" and then there was a bend. The sound of the knife being unsheathed, like a white light flashing,
"Kill" the two cavalrymen and hit each other heavily,"Ah"The cavalry on both sides are like two files. Inserted fiercely from the front of the opponent, and then kept squeezing away. The scimitar was bloody. The East Court cavalry avoided the sharpest front end of the opponent's cavalry spear with skilled tactical coordination and superb riding skills.
Zamuk wielded the scimitar vigorously, flashing **** light and shadow on the edge of the blade, the figure of a gangster cavalry who passed by him flickered, bright red blood from the neck Squall. It's like a group of red flowers exploding in high-speed movement, and the horses are staggered. "Pop" the opponent's figure fell from the front of the galloping horse's hooves in an instant, turning into a **** shadow. There was a sound of broken bones, war horses thundering, and the sound of "cackling" metal crashing on this vast open ground was mixed with the cry of fighting, "Draw a sword!" "The Gangfei cavalry quickly gave up the inflexible long spear for melee combat. They drew out the thick cavalry longsword, the sword and the shadow, the flesh and blood flew across. The galloping horses crossed each other, and the cavalry above was shaken and was thrown off the horse. The slashing and killing of the two cavalry in close combat can be described as tragic. The two cavalry units collided like two iron walls. The horses were squeezed and rolled on the ground, and blood sputtered out from the intersecting horses, opposing each other. The two sides are like two metal monsters squeezing each other entangled." After a round of staggered killing, the two sides separated like a biting exhausted hungry wolf.
Zamuk stopped the rushing war horse fifty meters away, quickly turned around and regrouped his subordinates, and took the opportunity to count the number of people. The complexion suddenly changed. The two cavalry teams fought each other in the first round, and more than thirty people fell down by themselves. But the opponent has only a dozen people, and the huge gap in combat power is almost no suspense.
"How could this happen!" Zamuk looked at the blood-covered subordinates with an ugly face, and found that besides himself, everyone else was more or less injured. Although he performed very well, Li killed two Gangfei cavalrymen, but in terms of overall strength, the opposing cavalry's combat power is still far above its own cavalry melee ability.
Zamuk didn’t know, but he was more shocked than he was on the Gangfei cavalry side
The Gangfei Lancers are not ordinary Gangfei cavalry, but the elite ranger Lancer corps directly under the Gangfei Emperor. As the forward of the imperial army, the Lancers directly under His Majesty the Emperor did not have these simple equipment. The long-range cavalry of China is in the eye. Although they know that the cavalry of the Northern Falcon Empire is strong, the opponent did not expect that the opponent will be strong enough to fight the melee cavalry after giving up the advantage of long-range shooting. It completely subverts the common sense that on the battlefield, long-range arms will flee in a swarm as long as they are approached by close combat troops.
These non-ranger Lancers are equipped with sophisticated semi-breasted plate armor. To a large extent, they are not afraid of the penetration of ordinary arrow clusters. Because the heavy full body armor is abandoned, the Lancers have high mobility and impact. The pleasure of the wind and the vertical and horizontal posture on the battlefield have made many young Gangfei obsessed with it. They are called "the emperor's battle flag". Before each battle, the Gangfei emperor likes to send these battles. Elite Lancers come to clean the opponent’s scouts. Under normal circumstances, well-equipped and powerful Lancers make the opponent’s scout cavalry lose a lot.
Warhorse is the biggest weakness of these ranger Lancers. In order to maximize the impact speed, the highly skilled ranger cavalry horses are not equipped with vests. In fact, these game cavalry are well-trained Gangfei swordsmen since childhood. Even if they lose their horses, their high-quality long swords and solid half-body plate armor can be used as semi-heavy units that break through the enemy's defense line.
The Lancers had just withdrawn from the southern battlefield and quickly became the first wave of forwards sent by the Gangfei emperor. The Gangfei Lancers of ten squadrons first entered the Mopu Plateau on the decisive battle site like mercury venting. Behind these Lancers was an army of 260,000 personally conquered by the Emperor Gangfei. "Kill them all!"
Gangfei cavalry captain raised his right hand a little bit embarrassedly, the Lancers behind him once again sent out a triangular wedge, the sharp impact started again, but Gangfei was a little dumbfounded, the performance just now made people The amazed enemy turned and fled without the spirit of chivalry. The lancers can only eat ashes in the back if they are fast. "Asshole, coward!" The captain of the Gangfei Lancer reluctantly stopped the horse, spat on the ground with disdain, and chose to return.
Saron, who received the news, quickly issued an order to withdraw all the Falcon troops except the East Court troops and all the other lines of defense.
The general situation is similar to what happened in this place. The large-scale attack by the Lancers from the Ganges was like hitting a soft net. They were blocked before reaching the Falcon Army’s defense line. Some arrogant Gangfei Lancer squadrons tried to forcefully advance to the Falcon Army’s defense line on the Mopu Plateau, but they encountered an ambush by the gathered Eastern Cavalry. Under the intensive siege of the Eastern Court shooters like wolves hunting, these over-advanced elite lancers, with almost no chance to resist, were torn apart by arrow clusters that attacked like wind from all directions.
Although the time is a bit short, the Falcon Army has been in the northwest corner of the stone-rich Mopu Plateau within a month. Three large fortresses were built. The two-meter-high earth walls created by these three fortresses were used as support points. The Falcon Central Army, the Northern Army and the Dongting people totaled 150,000 troops. Like a huge concave shape, it completely blocked the road from Mopu Plateau to the northern border of Congo and Fei. Although the news of the conquest of the Emperor Congo and Fei had been sent to all armies in advance, the Falcon army was still a little nervous.
Saron, as the chief officer personally appointed by His Majesty Falcon, moved his headquarters to the forefront of the fortress,
6 pm on the third day. The golden sunset was going away, and Salon stretched out his hands and feet. It was another calm day, but soon, a blue line in the distance attracted his attention, "Come here, get my look-glass!" Salon What a solemn shout, an attendant quickly handed him his look-glass, raised the look-glass, and through the lens in his hand, Saron saw that the blue line was actually a team of guns wearing half-length plate armor. The cavalry unit, and then a cloud of smoke rose, and there was a shock on the distant horizon.
Behind the blue Gangfei cavalry, a blue forest quickly appeared, and the flag of the Gangfei Crusaders fluttering in the wind was like a blue cloud band flying over the plateau. The outline is constantly squirming and expanding.
The wriggling blue outline is exactly the crowds of countless troops, and the light reflected by the metal armor and spears is like the sound of a banner swept by the cold wind. Murderous spirits rose to the sky, and behind a blue military flag, they lined up one after another huge squares, and camped on the spot in a tight and orderly manner.
The sight in front of him made the brave warrior Saran take a deep breath. It’s no wonder that His Majesty Falcon strictly ordered himself to defend. It is true that the number of troops from the Democratic Republic of the Congo has an absolute advantage. The crowds in the distance are crowded and armored. Bright, wide and boundless, a piece of metal cold light, you can't see your head forward, you can't see your head to the left, you can't see your head to your right, the whole army of more than 200,000 yuan, like a huge carpet covering the ground in front of you, Heavy pressure on the top of the concave line of defense, it is very likely that under a hammer, the entire line of defense becomes powdery,
This is a rare moment of calmness. The two sides, together with an army of nearly 500,000, gathered on a plateau less than 50 square kilometers wide.
Both armies are observing each other’s military appearance. The soldiers’ hearts are beating fiercely, their horses are neighing deep, and the white smoke is sprayed out desperately, whether it is a Falcon army or just a non-military army. , Looking at the long wall with no margins on the opposite side, the three huge fortresses distributed in concave shapes, facing the enemy like the sea, all felt trembling from the bottom of my heart.
Behind the defensive soil wall, the troops were busy carrying the materials used for the defense all night. In order to replenish them nearby, Salong recruited 1,500 people from the southern region half a month ago as the governor of the southern region. The craftsmen in the area one kilometer behind the defense line established a forge on the spot to build arrow clusters and repair weapons.
The sound of ding jingle bells is like a serenade in the night. The person who expresses this policy most is the Dongting people~IndoMTL.com~ Skilled craftsmen are very precious on the grassland. A tribe can To establish, you must first have your own craftsman,
The grassland is a severely iron-deficient area. Under normal circumstances, only people in the tribe who have physical status will be qualified to require craftsmen to tailor armor, weapons, saddles, and even various accessories according to their requirements.
But here, as long as they are willing to pay their wages, the iron ore is completely free. Any prairie man can get a set of half-length mail and a sharp machete. In order to maximize the combat power of these eastern cavalry, This time, Salong had lost his blood. A large number of iron ore was transported from the southwest area. The artisans were divided into three groups and rushed to work day and night. They let the 30,000 cavalry units in the East Court complete a major transformation in equipment. Otherwise, if it is still With the thin leather armor of the past, the Eastern Court scouts would never fight melee with the Gangfei Lancers. "Nishidaqing, what do you think our army has put on such power, what would the Vicia Falcon on the opposite side think?" On a hillside of the Congo Fei army, riding on a war horse, the Congo Fei emperor in golden plate armor, With a smile on his face, he asked a middle-aged general next to him. "Naturally think that our army is doing everything possible, and Kyoto is weak and unguarded!" The majestic middle-aged general lowered his head and said, "Just take him to Lisbon." The guards all lured them out. Your Majesty seems to be stranded in the south with a 30,000-strong army of the Ninth Corps for rest. He only needs to gently close the retreat of the Falcons, and it will be enough to conclude a battle at a critical moment!
