Power and Empire Chapter 1722: Gaul’s Tragedy (9)
1722 Gaul Elegy (9)
The spring breeze blows, the ice and snow melt into the murmur of the mountains, the green color of the earth brings vitality, the distant mountains and rivers stretch like a picturesque to the edge of the earth, in the drizzle, with a kind of laziness and intoxication The posture is shown in front of the legion’s adjutant Andalin,
pushed away the office of his teacher Hasen Rambo, and the familiar figure came into Andalen’s eyes. The room with the curtains closed, only the candlestick on the wall illuminates the whole room, the room looks very dull, the Gaul Empire is in Lass Hasen Rambo, the head of the 400,000 empire army in the area, was taking a nap on his desk at this time,
Hasen Rambo’s face is tired and pale, his hair is disheveled, his hands are criss-crossed on his abdomen, and his slightly pale temples indicate that he is no longer young. From the imperial capital to Rusty, he traveled a thousand miles and three hundred miles day and night. , For the 51-year-old Hasen Rambo, it is no longer something that can be easily dealt with
The Falcon Empire’s offensive could be launched at any time. Hasen Rambo did not dare to delay. He held a military meeting overnight to set up combat missions. When the meeting was over, the time had already reached the middle of the night unknowingly, dragging his tired body in the office. Sit down, take a break in the preparation room, and immediately rush to the Eastern Front for inspection. Although the Eastern Front has a specially strengthened Gaul Fifteenth Army, Hasen Rambo is still a little worried. The Seine is the entire Eastern Front. The source of the river network in the Rusty region. This season of the year, heavy rain from the sky and meltwater from the highland snow mountains will flow into this river in a large amount. The river is soaring that it is difficult for people and horses to swim across. If you add a large army to guard it, it will be enough to form An indestructible natural barrier that keeps the Falcons away,
Andalin walked over and carefully placed the documents in his hand on Hasen Rambo’s desk. The slight noise made the famous Gaul raise his head and saw that he was his disciple and adjutant. Hasen Rambo patted him. I patted the dust on the general's uniform and coughed dryly
"Ahem, is it dawn?"
" Yes," Andalen replied, moved to the window, opened the curtains by hand, the rain was flying outside, and the raindrops hit the glass, like a contemplative charm
"It's still raining!" Hasen Rambo's meaningful eyes narrowed slightly, "Is there any news about the Eastern Front?"
"Not for the time being, according to the teacher's instructions, I will send someone there every day" Andalin nodded and replied, her beautiful eyes flashed with mixed emotions
"But the Eastern Route is more than 50 miles away from here. It has been rainy days and muddy roads. In addition, the bridge to the Eastern Route was also destroyed by floods. Our people had to go around from the Forest of Burrus. Come and go, even if you’re riding a fast horse, our people won’t get news until the afternoon at the earliest!"
"Afternoon? I hope there is nothing wrong, I don’t know why, I always have an ominous premonition!"
Hasen Rambo rubbed his swollen temples, and smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth. This tiredness is not only for the body, but also for the heart. Now there are rumors about himself everywhere. One theory is that he holds the empire in his hand. One of the military strengths can revive the empire with a hand, and the empire can also die, and it is even possible to become the emperor. There is also a ridiculous saying that he has signed a secret agreement with the Eagle Emperor. , The two people are planning to divide the land of the entire Gaul Empire" and "Hassen Rambo has already secretly sought refuge in the Falcon Empire, otherwise, why did the Falcon Empire defeat the Eighth Army of Gaul with such a mighty force? It was an incomprehensible behavior to stop in front of the Sixth Army throughout the winter! "Such thesis
For these malicious and speculative rumors, Hasen Rambo did not care, nor did he have the energy to care,
He knows that the people who said these words were the generals of the Kyoto Guards who rushed from Kyoto to the reinforcements of Rusty when Rusty was nervous. When they arrived, the Falcon Empire had stopped advancing. , Seeing that all the glory aura fell on him, undoubtedly it made these self-proclaimed guards generals jealous. In the first battle of Rusty, he accidentally blocked the offensive of the Falcons, resulting in domestic Fame has soared, from a famous player in the eastern battlefield to the first player in Gaul
Last winter, the Falcon Empire proposed an uncharacteristic truce negotiation, which gave everyone an illusion.
That is the vicious Vickia Falcon, and also the fear of the Empire’s General Hasen Rambo. In the empire’s wind and rain, the two battlefields of the East and the West are lost, and the Gauls who live in a kind of bad news and anxiety every day, Suddenly I realized that there was also a famous star on my side. It was like seeing the Venus in the dark, and I had high hopes for Hasen Rambo to sing praises,
Even Fatty himself did not expect that his decision to suspend the offensive actually created a Gaul "God of War"
In the night of the noise in the Gaul tavern, one can often hear "For the well-being of Hasen Rambo!" Hasen Rambo will surely defeat those Northwestern barbarians who don’t know the heights, let The glory of the empire shines in the northwest ""Come and make a toast to Hasen Rambo, the **** of war of the empire! "Such words that make people proud
In some public performance venues, the most fashionable repertoire now is "Imperial God of War Hasen Rambo vs. Evil Falcon King". The program is basically the same as that of the old-fashioned and honest knights defeating monsters, but The knight became an actor playing Hasen Rimbaud, led his soldiers into the palace of the Falcon King, cut off the falcon battle flag that was rumored to be fascinating, and with a stern cry, a headband The black clown with a red crown and a feather costume is the Vickia Falcon. The actor in the costume of General Gaul slammed on the ground with one foot, struggling to death, begging for mercy, and crying bitterly. He slapped himself, and the actor dressed as Hasen Rambo looked at him contemptuously, holding up the Gaul Kwan Sword in his hand, full of momentum and mighty, making a gesture of slashing it down.
The picture is frozen in this scene, usually by this time, it is the climax of the play,
"Kill him, kill this devil!"
The people watching under the stage raised their hands and made hysterical screams. The people watching would not hesitate to throw a cheap copper plate to smash the black clown, and finally followed the broad sword in everyone’s excitement. As the eyes fell, a human head as a prop was thrown on the stage by the actor. It was a sphere made of leather, with a mouth and nose drawn with charcoal, and filled with red dye, which looked bloody.
The high-pitched Gaul military anthem "Song of the Gaul Warriors" sounded after the stage. The scene was exciting and inspiring. Everyone sang along. This kind of repertoire even spread to the Rusty area, and there was even a performance team. Bravely ran to the border between the two armies to perform. The Gaul soldiers shouted triumphantly, which attracted the attention of the other side. Soon, several stone bombs dragged the black smoke and exploded the performance stage on the spot. It became a smash, causing more than a dozen casualties, so scared that no one dared to do it again
But this situation is still happening in areas where there is no attack Seeing my glorious image on the stage, I couldn’t help leaving again. It’s too joking. How can war be a trifle? Soldiers see this too much, and they actually think that the Falcon Army is an opponent that can fall in just one touch. With the collapse of the army last year, Hasen Rambo didn't know how he stopped the advancement of the Falcon Empire!
In the afternoon, the sound of galloping horses’ hooves awakened the guards who were dozing off. An embarrassed imperial cavalry was carrying muddy water. The servant of the wind just stopped and jumped to the ground on the back of his horse. Andalin hurriedly walked over. It was the person she sent to the Eastern Front. The appearance of the cavalry made her beautiful eyebrows frowned.
"What's going on, Schroeder!" Andalen asked solemnly
"East... The Seine on the Eastern Front has been lost!" The imperial cavalry panted loudly, took a few sips of the kettle from their companions, and then intermittently said, "I don't know what the situation is, just now Passing through the village of Slather on the center line, I saw the fifteenth Army's broken army everywhere on the road. The people were panicked and chaotic. There were officers and soldiers. They were retreating towards the city area on the center line. I found a familiar officer. When asked, he told me that the Eastern Front had been lost, and the Falcons rushed up the river bank and directly smashed the river defense line! The 15th Army suffered heavy casualties."
"The battleship rushed into the river! What's the situation?" A shock flashed across Andalin's face, and she hurriedly walked up to the second floor, and opened the door pale, with an uncharacteristically eager expression that made Hasen Rambo in the room. Feel a hint of ominous hunch
"Are the people who went to the Eastern Front come back? How is the situation there? I'm going to inspect the Eastern Front!" Hasen Rambo put on his cloak, and said uneasyly, "Although knowing that there will be no problems with the Eastern Route, But today there is always a sense of uneasiness. If I don’t go there, I will be uneasy!"
"Teacher, there is no need to go to the east line!"
Andalin took a deep breath, looked at Hasen Rambo who was holding up the saber, and slowly said, "The Eastern Front has been lost, and the Falcon Army used a warship to overwhelm the defense line of the Fifteenth Army. The fifteenth The whole army was disintegrated, with heavy casualties, and was retreating to the center line!"
"What!"
The cloak slipped from Hasen Rambo's hands to the ground and the whole person was stunned. With an unbelievable expression, it was like being slammed on the foot. Did you lose the Eastern Front? How is it possible, what is going on! "Hassen Rambo asked a series of questions, but Andalen couldn't answer him, only that the Falcon Army used the battleship
"Battleship! Eastern Front! Upstream of the Seine... the other party wouldn't want it..." Hasenrambo seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly lost his blood, no matter what landed. The cloak, but quickly ran to the wall where the map was hung, with a dignified and terrifying look, looking for the Seine River on the east line
"That color, it must be that color!" Andalin heard her teacher looking at the map, and suddenly made a sound similar to despair
The center of gravity of the Rusty War Zone, Nase City,
This is the easternmost city on the central line, and it is also where the Seine River enters the central city area. The Seine is divided into several tributaries from here. Long ago, the Nasse people built a fork in the river. The Gauls There are 8,000 defenders here, and the Fifteenth Gaul Corps, which guards the upper Seine River, is mutually dependent on each other as horns.
Crossing the Seine on the Eastern Front, Crolitsat immediately dispatched 20,000 light infantry to chase the broken 15th Army and complete the full occupation of the upper reaches of the Eastern Front. He personally led the 30,000 main force, like a tiger. Usually pounce on the color under the river, in the afternoon, soldiers will come to the city under the color
The color in front of the Northwest Army Corps is just a city with walls and a moat connecting the river. It lacks the fortress-like sturdy trebuchet towers and arrow towers, and there is no corner structure used to resist the proximity of the infantry group.
This kind of defense is effortless! Crolitsart rides on the horse, and he evaluates it like this in his heart
The Gaul defenders obviously didn’t know the news that the 15th Army had collapsed. They were shocked to the Falcon Army who suddenly appeared under the city. Anxious alarm bells rang over the city, and the entire group was in a panic on the wall. Lu people, archers are arranged in batches on the city wall,
Below the city, 20,000 infantrymen of the Northwest Army Corps holding shields and long spears are divided into four squares. 15,000 Northwest shooters holding strong bows set out their attack array under the city, and the metal shields reflect dazzlingly under the rain. The white light is like a large strip of bright light, the neatly arranged armor and spears can’t be seen at a glance,
The black armor was swarthy in the rain, and the pressure gathered was like a black tidal wave about to pour up. The Gauls on the opposite wall were pale at this time, and the falcons below were unfathomable and deep. The mystery feels pressure and makes them feel scared. This is not the farce that they have seen before. This is the real army of the Falcon Empire. It represents killing and being powerful and invincible. It has never been defeated in the battle with the empire!
"What's going on, isn't the upper reaches of the defense zone of the 15th Army?" the soldiers asked in a low voice
"Yeah, how could these Falcons kill from the upper reaches, the Fifteenth Army!" The Gaul soldiers on the wall were panicked. They saw each other's horror in their eyes. At this moment, A black spot suddenly rose from behind the Falcon Army under the city,
"Attention, trebuchet!" Suddenly a stern shout rang from the city wall
"Tapok?" The soldiers raised their heads blankly, looking pale and looking at countless boulders with various sharp water chestnuts, like a flock of birds suddenly flying through the air, from the white sky and rain, with a sorrowful look The sound of the wind fell from the sky, thundering on the heads of the entire team, brains splashing. The minced meat flew across, under the blow of the boulder, the Gauls saw their companions, and they turned into a **** scraps of minced meat on the wall.
"Damn!" This terrifying effect is dozens of times stronger than the actual killing effect. The Gaul soldiers had no time to dodge. The metal shields were smashed and deformed. The huge stones were crushed in the queue like raindrops. The soldiers on the road were instantly smashed into pulp.
This is the first time that many Gaul soldiers have faced such terrible siege weapons. Seeing that their companions died so miserably, the sense of terror controlled their fearful hearts, and the neatly arranged shields in their hands were densely packed with stones. The blow fell apart, and the queue of soldiers was completely chaotic
"Sitting on the city, my lord!"
The northwest generals below have already excitedly invited Crollister to fight, and the Seine was a spectator, so that the raging fighting spirit in the hearts of the northwest generals was inspired like a fire
Crolithat is still awake. In the order of His Majesty Falcon, to let the warship go down the river into the middle-line urban area, whether it can win that color as quickly as possible will be the focus of the entire battle. The weight is also the true role of the Northwest Army. It takes down the river pass and allows the warships to enter the river in the middle-line urban area. Thanks to the Gauls,
During the rest period in winter, in order to strengthen the defense of urban areas, Gaul connected the river channels between urban areas to the moat. All the moats were widened three times, almost as wide as the entire river channel. Said that the battleship enters the inland waterway of the urban area and can attack any city at will.
The Dragon Tooth battleships that entered the inland waterway this time were built with special requirements. In order to make the battleship have the ability to suppress the city wall, all the Dragon Tooth battleships have been heightened, and they can directly attack the city wall from a high position. In order to be suitable for navigation in inland waterways, the bottom of the ship is also a flat bottom, so it can swiftly hit the bank without dumping,
Crolithat unceremoniously pulled all the more than three hundred trebuchets he used to cross the river to the city. The Gaul defenders were caught off guard. He looked at the Gaul defenders in the trebuchet with cold eyes. After a horrible cry, he solemnly ordered, "The bow shooter presses on the cover, and the whole army begins to siege the city!"
"Go forward!" The Falcon infantry captains let out their loud voices. The 20,000 infantrymen in the four infantry queues began to approach the wall. 15,000 Northwest Army archers moved toward the wall and raised them neatly. The compound bow in the hand,
"Shoot!" With a cry of zero, the bowstring vibrates like a rainstorm
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" The world is full of terrible shocking waves~IndoMTL.com~The raindrops of arrows, once again violently bombard the heads of the Gaul defenders, the compound used by these northwest shooters Although the range of the strong bow is not as terrible as the horrible thorn tile longbow, it is far beyond the 80-meter range of the Gaul archer’s laminated bow.
As the 15,000 archers neatly let go of the fingers pinching the tail feathers, the dense black spots burst toward the city head like violent black clouds, like waves slapped on the hard rock wall. Turned into splashes of scary red, the sound of "pupupupu" sharp weapon piercing into the body and bones breaking one after another in the rain, this is a symphony of killing.
"squeak"
More than a dozen huge siege vehicles moved forward slowly under the impetus of the infantry. The wooden copeland swayed and approached the city wall in the muddy rain.
‘Papa’, the heavy baffle slammed on the head of the city,
kill" With the shouts resounding across the battlefield, countless shining Falcon army horizontal spears rushed out from where the baffle fell.
The dense spearheads are like countless sharp walls, the heavy footsteps slamming on the pedals, and the electric light and flint, like a heavy war saber slamming on the wall interface, (to be continued.
