Power and Empire Chapter 1809: Dan Erni Battle (10)
In order to cover the actions of the Southern Army, the Fatty himself brought the Central Army along the center line and approached Sukojiade. The golden falcon flag really attracted the attention of the Gauls at the first time, and in the evening of the second day At that time, the Central Army had arrived 10 miles in front of Sukojiade, the second largest city in the Danni Plateau.
"Your Majesty, there is Sukojiade ahead!" General Hu Keqi forcefully rode up from the front, and pointed his horse whip at the distant city sheltered by the rain
"Sukojiade!" The fat man looked forward on the war horse. In the desolate weeds, the rain was vast, and the huge stone fortress stretched out from the city area like a huge side knife. Five miles in front, the endless Denigold native is cut off, like a beast crouching in front. There are many pits on the gray stone surface, showing that it is not afraid of the power of large-scale siege equipment. Destruction, at the beginning of its construction, Sukojade existed as the strongest barrier to the city of Dalni. It is said that the Gauls who built it at the beginning used this large fortress to resist the invasion of the western barbarians. This big fortress turned into a city. It is a fortress-like city with a military character higher than that of an urban one. It has a population of 80,000, but the real population in Sukojad is less than 30,000, and the rest of the population is in the surrounding villages. ,
"Has anyone been found in the nearby village?" The fat man raised his whip and stopped the horse under his hips. He looked at a large area of cut-off woods on the periphery of the city. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Depressed, the Gaul obviously ordered the troops to sweep the villages along the way in advance, and no one could see it. Only the rain was rushing down in the vast land.
Sure enough, Hu Keqili shook his head in embarrassment, and replied solemnly, "Still no. The cavalry sent to patrol around report. The villages and towns within a radius of fifty miles are empty. All the residents have moved away, food, wood, nothing left. It’s really impossible to move away and just burn the house!" Hu Keqili’s voice stopped, and he glanced at a village not far away. "It should be a sudden heavy rain, which disrupted the orderly retreat of the Gauls. The Gauls used force in some areas. We found large tracts of blood and new graves in some villages. Traces of the past! Other than that, there is nothing to discover!"
"It seems that the Gauls are preparing to build walls and clear the wild!"
Fatty's two eyebrows twisted together. The scene in front of me is really ugly. The burnt and half-destroyed village is bathed in rain, the black stone walls reveal a desolation, and the howling of wild wolves can be heard in the wilderness. It shows that the Gauls have already emptied the population of this area. Just like the Sukojade in front, the Gauls will turn the entire Danni Plateau into a battlefield. Looking at the scene of the city from a height, you can see even Houses on both sides of the street. There are wide wooden boards used to connect at the top. It is conceivable that whoever rushes into the city will be hit hard by a Gaul archer who is standing on the height of the house and shooting down.
Hukochili said, "The Gaul general who stood by Sukogad was called Trensk. He was known for his defensive skills in the Gaul Northern Army. In the Battle of the Gaul North, he once defeated the Slavs with 5,000 troops. The main counterattack of 30,000 people was hated by the Slavs and was called "nail" Algernon Katja. The general with the spirit of "nail" placed this general with the spirit of "nail" in Sukojiade, obviously just wanting to hit a few of our big ones. The meaning of the front teeth! Your Majesty, what should we do now, whether to launch a siege or to stay on the spot!"
" Hehe, he really dared to think about it! "The corners of the fat man's mouth raised" and ordered the troops to camp outside the city! "The fat man raised his hand and raised his horse whip, but he didn't mean to attack the city immediately
A team of imperial cavalry quickly cleared out a few small barracks outside the city of Sukojad. In the afternoon, the overwhelming group of black infantry came over from the horizon. It was a wonder, and there was a piece of land above the black line. The dim white light, when I approached, I realized that it was the cold light of the lance of the infantry formation.
The rain hit it and was also split by the black army's fighting intent, like a huge crescent moon of Guanghua Liuli,
The tents in the camp spread out three miles outside the city. The rainwater hits on it, and the white flowers on the top of the tent. Many of the tents are empty, but the number is enough to house a hundred thousand troops. This was to confuse the Gauls’ sight. The fat man ordered the guards to plant his battle flag on a high place. Forty thousand Chinese infantrymen of the Central Army set up a half-arc crescent formation under the city of Sukojade, with tens of thousands of troops. Silent momentum, under the gloomy sky. It's like a sharp sword that has been washed away, thinking about shredding the target in front of it. Booming Long "" A muffled thunder rolled across the sky, shrouding the world in a piece of desolation.
The falcon flag was blown by the gale at the same time as hunting and hunting, as if the drum of war was about to be beaten, and a sluggish air rushed towards the small man
" ordered the crossbowman to hit it first!" The fat man stood on a high place outside the city and said to the messenger behind him. The horn was blew frantically in the rain. Under the dark sky, white raindrops hit it. On the black armor of the queue, the wormwood in the corner of the wall is also languishing under the murderous aura, and a piece of black is crushed.
The army lined up a mile wide battlefield. Hundreds of heavy ballistas were pushed forward neatly by the soldiers. The wheels traveled slowly on the muddy ground, and the metal car body showed a murderous intent in the rain. Ice-cold, thirty meters in front of them, 30,000 imperial crossbowmen lined up neatly.
"Go forward, march forward and shoot!"
The crossbowmen moved forward slowly along the line, putting their fingers on the tight bowstring, pulling the bowstring into a half-moon shape, and lifting it toward the top of the forty-five degree angle, the bowstring creaked. "It makes a sound, I only hear the word "Put", and 30,000 crossbow arrows burst out at the front of the army at the same time.
"Swish swish" dense clusters of arrows are like a huge blade, tearing the rain curtain in front of you, and the stern arrow swarms make a sound, and they continue to draw beautiful white lines in the sound of rain and wind. The metal torrent turned into death in the rain curtain, and the screams of ghosts and wolves screamed from the opposite city wall. After four rounds of shooting, the front crossbowmen had advanced to 150 meters below the city of Sukojad, and the heavy ballista quickly put a heavy arrow crossbow into the slot of the ballista than the soldiers behind. The crossbowmen of the third formation have already set up their crossbow arrows;
"Let it go!"
The commanders gave an order, and the head of Sukojade once again sounded the sound of death, and countless one-meter-long heavy crossbows and rain-like arrows flew out with a scream that cut through the air. At the same time, they arranged The phalanx of crossbow arrows in the front also began to diffuse into the sky. The arrows that fell from the sky clinked and fell on the heads of the Gaul soldiers, on their shields and armor, and they were unimaginably dense. For an instant, screamed again and again. The Gaul soldiers at the forefront were pierced by long arrows, and blood bloomed on the walls like flowers. The soldiers fell in pieces,
"Asshole!"
Gallic defender commander Trensk feels that he is going crazy. It’s no secret that the Falcon Army is rampaging the world with a crossbow, but the feeling of being crushed and beaten in such a complete way is enough to make a proud commander feel aggrieved. Wants to vomit blood, does the other party really think that it is possible to break through the strong walls of Sukojiade just by relying on arrow clusters? There is a limit to joking! Trensk gritted his teeth angrily and decisively ordered the hardest-hit subordinates to abandon part of the city wall, hoping to drag the Falcon Army into hand-to-hand combat to avoid the Falcon Army's incomparable crossbow shooting. But until the sky became completely black, the Falcon Army’s long-range coverage ceased, and there was no meaning to approach Sukojad’s wall.
The first day of fighting ended in such a dull way.
Trensk, who is ready to fight hard, is a little at a loss standing on the wall of Sukogad. Is it that simple? He held the battlement and looked at the light spots of the Falcon Barracks outside the city. Although overall, there was no casualty in the Falcon Army in this battle, but Trensk's men had more than 3,000 casualties.
However, while Tzuru Lensk was upset while patrolling the wounded barracks, he was also grateful in his heart. It turned out that the Vikia Falcon was nothing more than that. It seems that the golden bird of prey flag can really resemble Algernon Katja. What the adults said. It will eventually fall on the land of the Danni Plateau. The city of Cozi, known as Danni’s Gateway, was defeated by the Falcons. Algernon Katja personally led the army to oppose the battle and was still killed by the Falcons. Defeated, but here, in Sukojiade, the 100,000 Falcons can’t make any progress! After this battle, my reputation will surely resound in the land of Gaul
"Send the report to Algernon Katja immediately"
Trensk turned around in a good mood, and said loudly to his men behind him, "I wrote that the Falcon Army raided my Sukojiade with infantry in the rain. Our army fought **** battles and killed countless enemies, even though it suffered three losses. Thousands, but it also defeated the Falcon Army’s attack, and it was impossible to push forward in Sukogad in one day!"
Algernon Kajia, who got the latest battle report, hit the desk with an enthusiastic punch. Time is really precious for this battle. It took three thousand people to hold the Falcons for a day. It’s very cost-effective, because every day through the day, the Libra of the war is tilted towards Gaul,
When the Gaul’s eyes were dragged on Sukogad,
Statunko’s Southern Army Group has crossed the western front of the plateau and easily reached Rasya, one of the three targets. This is a small mountain city with no more than 5,000 defenders, facing Suddenly, the southern army of the Empire was in complete chaos. Thick black smoke enveloped the sky above this broken mountain city. The flag torn into rags was blown by the wind to hunt and hunt, and it seemed extraordinarily sad under the cold rain, but In a full-scale attack, the front of the Gaul defenders collapsed, the soldiers retreated in disarray and chaos, and the corpses of Gaul people were covered with the remains of the Gaul people on the walls of the small mountain town hundreds of meters away.
It took only 2 hours for the forward force of the Southern Army to easily take control of the city, leaving five thousand people in charge of cleaning up the remnants of the war, and Statunkoma non-stop led the main force of the Southern Army to Bodgu. Well, the rain stopped at night, and the black starless night sky looked extremely quiet
The first day is satisfying for both parties. No matter how good the previous mutual guessing is, the real Dalny battle is only now beginning! In the early morning of the next day, Statunko was already standing on the loess hills to the northeast of Bodgul City, looking at the city beside the river in the distance with a very cautious look. The 40,000 soldiers of the Southern Army were divided in the middle. In the two parts, they pounced on the target cities Bodgol and Scandic. In the early morning, when the light of the sky illuminates the horizon, the two armies of yours simultaneously launched a powerful offensive against the unaware Bodgul and Scandic walls.
As the fat man had expected, because the Gauls did not think that the Falcon army would go around a big circle, just to raid these three non-strategic cities, so at the moment the battle started, the two The defenders of this city looked at a loss, and did not realize that they were in front of them. It was a regiment of a full-strength Falcon Empire.
Yesterday’s heavy rain caused all the patrols to hide in the city. The defenders above the city seemed sparse, so when the Falcon Army’s trebuchet pierced the sky in the first morning. At the same time, the ignited fuel bomb was thrown toward the city wall like a meteor. The dense red dots even stunned the defenders who had just opened their eyes, and for a while they forgot to ring the alarm bell. Today is a cloudy day, a short break in the rainy season. The wind is very strong, and the "Papa Papa" burning bombs with long black and red smoke hit the walls of the two cities, turning into beautiful and dazzling red lights.
The violent explosion awakened the Gallic troops who were still sleeping. The carriage running on the street was frightened and scurrying, and the citizens of Gallic were like headless flies. Watching countless small red dots cross the city wall, the red color that turned into death smashed down, and the area hit by the rumbling rumble was scattered, and the scattered red ignited all around. The horse was running, and the ground exploded violently. Trembling in the middle, the low city walls and gravel flying across, it is really a hell-like scene, thick black smoke plumes straight up into the sky. The fireballs that exploded like fire dragons raged on the broken and collapsed south wall,
The Gaul defenders who were completely beaten, could only curl up in the Tibetan soldiers dug on the wall, with fear and helpless eyes watching their companions who were surrounded by the fire outside wailing miserably, burning all over their bodies. Jumping from the towering wall with flames. "Woo" after the trebuchet tossed for three consecutive rounds, the attacking bugle resounded across the sky.
"Go forward!"
In the neat voice of the command, the black infantry phalanx came out from the high tide, and the hundreds of queues moved slowly forward. Several shield walls composed of dense shields were exposed under the gloomy sky to make blood too. In the freezing chill, the towering spear clusters have been put down, and the temporary long ladder to the city was exposed in the heavy morning mist, and slowly approached the city wall under the protection of the army formation
"It's the Falcon Army, hurry, hurry up and launch the trebuchet"
At this moment, the Gaul soldiers in the city reacted, and their screams resounded through the city. The defense facilities of the two cities are complete. The trebuchet tower and arrow tower are equipped with the commander’s raised hand. It fell sharply, and the slingshot of the trebuchet was so tight that it popped out. The huge boulders were thrown high in the air, and then quickly came down, like a huge hammer, they rolled down and were hit. The location is often dusty, a huge stone bullet, enough to plow a bloodstain in the queue, even if a soldier in heavy armor is crushed underneath by a boulder, it will turn into a pile of **** shreds. , The shields of the heavy infantry will be deformed and flew into the air, and the people will also be knocked out
"Long live the Falcon!"
A huge shout broke the dark clouds above the battlefield, and the six infantry phalanx began to pounce on the city wall, as if the earth was sinking. Immediately after accelerating, it finally turned into a running, the large-scale weapon cold light was shining brightly, and the reaction to the Gauls had long been expected. The southern infantry of the Falcon Empire did not retreat in the face of the tragic scene, but accelerated the speed of the impact. The damage that a sparse trebuchet can cause is almost negligible for an army of tens of thousands of people, and the southern army is surging. Usually rushed under the city wall, and the long siege ladder set up the not tall city wall.
"Stay steady, don't go back!"
The Gaul soldiers in Chengtou Mountain have begun to chaos. The officers drove the chaotic soldiers loudly, but the floating military spirit made his shouts pale. The soldiers in front were constantly beaten back, and some of their nerves were weak. The soldiers slashed with weapons in the crowded crowd. Either you die or I die. Their feet are slippery, they are corpses that are stepped on, and they can no longer distinguish themselves from the enemy. The strong smell of blood chokes their noses. Just let people think of "Kill! Kill! Kill!'
The Falcon soldiers who had attacked the city wall had already red eyes, and the corpses gradually piled up on the city road. One, two, three... the soldiers felt like their ears were buzzing. There is a sound of fighting everywhere, the Gaul defenders have shown a tendency to rout, and the second wave of tomahawks recruited from the Nords ~ IndoMTL.com ~ all of these heavy axe soldiers have grown up to the wall. Very strong, wearing heavy armor is like a thick wall of steel. The long-handled axe in your hand is definitely a weapon for killing and cutting. The Nords are the strongest infantry in the traditional sense. For every Nord heavy axe In their eyes, there is nothing that can’t be split. The heavy and sharp battle axe slammed into the Gaul’s shield unscrupulously, only to hear the sound of a heavy object bumping. The shields were torn into two sections, and the flesh and blood flew across, frightened, and brought up blood stains soaring to the sky. The heads of Dou Da were slashed into the air by a sharp knife. The Gaul infantry was completely terrified, watching these murderous people. The brawny man in black armor like a vegetable chop, I don’t know who was the first to turn and escape, and then more soldiers turned and escaped. Their actions became the last straw that crushed the Gaul defenders.
Skan of the two cities fell first, and in the evening of the next day, the battle flag of the Falcons flew over the city of Bodgul
The next day, the Falcons were still blocked under the city of Sukogad and did not attack, but a high platform for Thor was built under the city wall. Trensk spent another day in fear,
Just as he once again sent a triumphant military report to the rear, Algernon Katja’s order had arrived in advance,
Holding the order book, Trensk’s face turned pale, how he thought that Algernon Katja gave him such an order to "abandon Sukogad! Give up Glenbow, and the whole army will turn to Daner Close up!
