Power and Empire Chapter 1824: The Death of the Famous General (5)
The headquarters in the city of Dalny was in a weird atmosphere. A Gaul general looked around a coffin, carefully expressing his opinion, "These coffins are used to contain the 120 spies!" Before his words fell, Trensk next to him said disdainfully, "No, you and I know that those people are not spies of the Falcon Army at all, how could the Vicia Falcons arrange the coffin!" The man was robbed. The general's face flushed with aggrieved face, raised his head angrily and questioned Trensk, "What does that mean! Could it be that these coffins are used to intimidate us?"
"Who knows, how many people can guess the mind of the Vecchia Falcon! Or there is, such as Master Chief!" Trensk shrugged his shoulders, his gaze glanced forward, Alger Nong Katja’s right hand is very carefully stroking the top of the black coffin,
The rough top surface of the top plate is not smooth, but a bit frizzy. It was made temporarily without careful scrubbing, but the black paint on it was very shiny, and there was a hint of black on his face, Algernonka Jia Jia's eyes were hot and bloodshot, and he took a deep breath, and suddenly opened a coffin board with his hand.
"It's really empty inside"
Algernon Katja’s pupils shrank unnaturally,
In his opinion, these coffins are not empty, but are filled with Vicia Falcon’s mockery of his self-directed and self-acting farce. There are a hundred and twenty coffins like this, lined up in front of the leader of the western front of the Gaul Empire,
" Damn it, don’t you guys see it! "Algernon Katja clenched his fingers into fists, and said with an ugly face with a heavy nasal voice." This is telling us that if we want to leave Dalny, we have to lie down. Preparations for entering these coffins! This is an invitation to us for the battle!"
"An invitation to the battle!"
The expressions on the faces of the generals stiffened, and all the comments disappeared without a trace. Even if they were as bold as Trensk, they said all day that the Vicia Falcon was nothing great, and the foreheads also ooze out. Sweat bead.
" There are rumors that the Vekia Falcon, the military god, has never been defeated in a battle since the day of its army. It also created the horror that 100,000 troops defeated 300,000 enemy troops and directly overthrew a country. Record." Lescott, the commander of the Eighth Infantry Regiment in the general, whispered. As one of the most elite commanders of the Northern Gaul Army, his opinion has considerable strength. He pointed out that on the battlefield, the Vickia Falcon is even more powerful. Not directing it personally. It will also put pressure on the opponent, which will directly cause the enemy’s combat capability to decline,
"According to the strong city of Dalny, our army can't feel the pressure of field confrontation. Once we leave the city, it will be difficult to tell." Lescott's serious voice stopped." So I The army must not fight against it!"
"Yes, our army must not choose to fight against it!" Trensk nodded in agreement. Although verbally said that no one is afraid of 100,000 vs. 100,000, the contrast is clear. The morale of the other party is like a rainbow. It broke into the Danni Plateau with the momentum of breaking the bamboo, and the morale of the army had reached its peak. The army was first frustrated by Kezi, and then collapsed at Fort Gulen, and retreated in order to implement the plan to lure the enemy into deep. Back again. The low morale of the military has reached the bottom line. The field battle between the two armies is obviously detrimental to our army. We can choose not to agree! Can the Vikea Falcon still force a battle with us and out of the city? "Trensk's voice is very firm
" said it was that way"
A middle-aged general looked a little hesitant. He raised his head and glanced at the erratic Western Front Commander Algernon Katja, and said slowly, "But if it’s the Vickia Falcon’s invitation to the battle, I’m afraid not It’s such a simple thing that can be pushed away! I don’t know why, I always have a very bad hunch"
"A bad feeling?"
" Yes, just before the execution, I saw the Wikiah Falcon personally attend the appointment, and my heart shook, feeling that all the initiative seemed to be when the person appeared. It is no longer under our control! Don't! Forget about bringing the enemy into his own layout and forcing him to go down. This is the usual style of the Vikea Falcon! Since he has seen through our calculations, how can he be indifferent! Now he has sent the hundred and twenty Mouth coffin. It’s like preparing for us in advance"
"Wh...what, don’t say it like that, it’s really disturbing! Don’t say nonsense if you don’t have any evidence! "The generals felt cold behind their backs as they listened, and their eyes fell on the dark coffin in a panic. Above, even Algernon Katja’s face seemed unnatural, and his mind flashed past the Falcon Army camp that quietly leaned towards the river last night. Could it be that the Vekia Falcon really had any arrangement to force him out of the city? How to start an unfavorable field battle with it?
"Big... Your lord! There is an abnormal situation on the river!" A servant officer stumbled over and said with a horrified expression.
His words made Algernon Katya look surprised. River, do the Falcons really want to repeat their tricks and use the river to attack the strong defenses of Denny City? With a heart full of confusion, Alger Nong Katja stepped on the tall city wall of Danieli, and the sight of the river in the distance made his face look ugly. "Slap" his hand because of too much force, breaking a wooden plank on the battlement, and The generals who went up to the city wall with him were already stunned, looking at the river in the distance with bulging eyes,
They never expected to see such a "spectacular" scene, but the more spectacular it is, the more the generals’ hearts sink in the cold. No wonder, it’s no wonder that the Vicia Falcon is so sure to force the party to expand outside the city. Field battles are simply fearless!
I saw countless wooden rafts like a long dragon with no head and tail, spreading from the upper reaches of the river. The wooden rafts consist of logs that have been cut and trimmed. The river has been smooth after the last flood discharge, and the wooden rafts are organized. Falcons have already set up huge barriers on both sides of the river.
The soldiers stood by the river, holding long hooks in their hands to construct the flowing wooden rafts towards the shore. The wooden rafts were loaded with grain, dried meat, and even wine. The number of wooden rafts cannot be counted. The unloading of supplies continued until the sunset illuminates the river, and the wooden rafts continued to flow throughout the afternoon. It seems that there is no end in sight. The materials are piled up into hills on the river. The amount is too large to count. A conservative estimate is enough to support one hundred thousand Falcons in one month! The carriages that carry supplies come and go in an endless stream.
"Asshole!"
Algernon Katja hit the battlement with his fist. The complexion has turned to earthy color, blood is flowing from the gap between the fingers,
The direction of the wooden raft comes from the upper reaches of the river, which shows that the Falcon Army’s materials have long been transferred to the upper reaches. He had predicted that even if the Falcon Army escaped the Ketsy trap, at least some of the materials would be lost. The supply of 100,000 Falcons is not a small number. The logistics line of the opponent must be under great pressure, and it must be very tight. In addition to the muddy roads caused by Cozi, the supplies behind should still be struggling in the mud, intermittently supplied. On the front line, even if the situation of the Falcon Army was a little better than that of himself, it would not be better, but the situation in front of him was telling him that it was just wishful thinking.
Once again, the frustration of being fooled made his spirit tend to collapse.
Not only did the Falcon Army supplies not be cut off, but they were so heinously plentiful. How much food is this! At least there is an inventory of more than one province. I really don't know how the Vickia Falcon transported so many materials to the upstream to obtain it. It's really convenient. You can directly use the river to move the materials down the water. The food should be enough to support the 100,000 Falcons trapped in Denier City for a month. This is a premeditated arrangement. That cruel **** will not do anything at once. Mercilessly stabbed through his biggest weakness, and broke all his fantasies into nothing,
There are nearly 300,000 troops and civilians in the city of Denier. According to the report submitted by the logistics officer, there is a serious shortage of food in the city, even if it is rationed with one meal a day. It was also unable to support more than seven days. Choosing to break through after three days was already the limit of the army's ability to maintain supply. Seeing the mountain of materials piled up on the river by the Falcon Army, Algernon Katja's body shook. He felt a trace of weakness and decadence, and his five fingers plunged deeply into the palm of his hand, and there was a burst of heartache,
is too poisonous!
Such a large-scale delivery of supplies is simply blocking my strategy of delaying time by gradually reducing military and civilian supplies, because when I see the arrival of so many materials from the enemy outside the city, as long as there is such a When the order is issued, everyone in the city will know that there is a shortage of food in the city, and the Falcon Army outside the city can’t eat too much food. Under the guard of the army, the panic of the human heart is the most terrible, just like the creeping grass that cannot be pruned. , As long as there are rumors in the city, everything he was in before will be quickly overturned,
Because the entire Dalny will think that as long as they want, the Falcons can turn the entire Dalny into a dead city in a month without a single soldier. Once the 200,000 civilians are in a commotion, It will be a force even more terrifying than the flood. The turmoil will soon spread to various places in the city like a fire in the grass. The army is exhausted and brutally suppressed, and finally panic will spread to the army, unless the army eats it. People, otherwise, would definitely not be able to support for a month. It has become an imminent thing to initiate a breakthrough in the shortest time. It is inevitable to start a battle with the Falcon Army. Before you know it, you have been forced to a dead end!
"Everyone, go back and prepare, and send someone to tell the Falcon Army outside the city that for the glory of the warrior, our military will start a dignified battle with it in three days!" Algernon Katja sighed long, his head was dark. The heavy sky is like a sign of a heavy rain. The turbulent wind blows pieces of sand from the highland wasteland. The empty coffin flashes through his mind. After three days, everything will end, I don’t know it. Will a bite be your own?
In the early morning of September 7, the last day of the Battle of Dalney
The sky is gloomy, the wind blows through the grass, rolling the grass to the sky, killing intent directly into the sky, under the city of Dalni, the 110,000 Gallic Northern Army leaves the city of Dalni and spread a huge array outside the city, The well-equipped Gaul North Army infantry was cautiously lined up on the muddy ground. Although it is called a field battle, Algernon Katya still played a trick. He incorporated the Gaul army shooters into it. The infantry group, relying on the city wall to spread out, form an attacking group that can be near and far, crowded with people.
"Everything is for Gaul!" Algernon Katja stood on the head of Dalny, looking at the army spreading out below the city with complicated eyes. This is a "dead battle" or a breakthrough. Either die under the city of Dalny, with spears like forests and battle flags like sea, enough to'arouse' anyone's ambitions. In addition to the infantry clusters, about 10,000 Gaul light cavalry also fired out of the city.
These Gallic cavalry wear leather helmets. Wearing light-weight cavalry armor, the weapon in his hand is a three-meter-long stabbing spear, and the horse's hoof lifts up debris and smokes. Running to the side of the army formation, like a sharp knife on the left side of the huge army formation, the Viscount Artua who led these light cavalry, the red-haired middle-aged general with a red woolen top helmet on his head, was in the queue. At the forefront, he looked ahead with a firm gaze. On his side, hundreds of infantry squadrons lined up and lined up. The squares were as neat as a ruler.
Could this be the last battle of the Glory Northern Army? The generals who stepped into the battlefield with all kinds of emotions. The blood of the soldiers made them excited by the majestic military appearance in front of them. Under the city of Dalni, the banner of the Gaul Northern Army was as turbulent as the waves of the sea.
"Woo, woo!" The horses are like black dust clouds, and the generals of the various armies are making the final battle mobilization
" Take out all of your strength. Don’t forget, you are the glorious Northern Army of the Empire!" Trensk wears a red cloak, holds the Legion’s flag in one hand, and rides on the horse from his own troops. Run ahead, and raise the command sword in your hands at the same time, "Use the weapons in your hands to defeat the enemy on the opposite side. Just like you defeated the Slavs, defeat them and greet victory."
" As long as we approach, the enemy’s archers will be shaken! That’s our chance." Lescott of the Eighth Infantry Regiment hysterically yelled at the tortoiseshell army’s subordinates, "Use courage and glory as your shield, for Gaul, for the glory of the soldiers, do their best to move forward! Forward"
Opposite the Gaul army, the fat man slowly raised his hand, and the 100,000 Falcon army also sounded a serious voice at the same time,
bang. The huge siege shield was braced. Just as a long black wall was erected on a ridge in the distance, the steel shield was shining in the sun, and countless spears protruded from the gap between the shields. The sharp one-foot-long front was also revealing in the gloomy light. Fearful murderous. Form the most resistant first echelon
Five meters behind are the second-gradient imperial heavy infantry soldiers with tens of thousands of fingers made of stainless steel with horizontal spears. These imperial heavy infantrymen wear helmets shaped like eagle wings, and have heavy armor all over their bodies. Even their faces are metal half-faced. In addition to the horizontal spears that were originally used for combat, the weapons in hand also included various heavy flail, mace, and thorn used in close combat. The third echelon is the wing front array formed by the empire’s central army obstructing crossbowmen, and crossbows. The hands appear in two rows of squatting and standing, with piercing eyes staring at the noisy Gaul in the distance like arrows,
Hundred Thousand Falcon Army, green woods, yellow deserts, brown fields. Golden fields and pastures. Now, all are covered by black military formations, and there seems to be only one color left between the sky and the earth, that is black
"Want to break through the wing?"
The fat man put down the observation mirror in his hand, seeming to completely ignore the front almost covering the countless flags in front of the city of Dalny. In the position of his left hand, Thor's sights were measuring data nervously, and everyone seemed very excited. In fact, the relevant data on the bombardment distance on the opposite side has been measured long ago, but in order to ensure that there is no deviation, the observer still performs many calculations without a trace, and the Army Thor, who has more than one hundred'doors', raised up high. With the black muzzle, facing the 110,000 Gaul Northern Army that has become a deadly beast, Fatty’s pressure is not easy. The Northern Army’s breakthrough is an inevitable choice, but it is indeed possible for him to choose when to break through. Thing,
"Algernon Katja, don't you let me down!"
The fat man licked his dry lips caused by the heat inside his body, and looked at the situation in front of Dalny through the observation glass in his hand. The 110,000 Gaul Northern Army spread out under the city of Dalny and lit up. The spear stabbed through the earth like a huge light, revealing a tragic and majestic setting sun,
"Let’s start!"
Algernon Katya decided to attack first, because there is a natural unfavorable barrier of marshland. Once the Falcon Army takes the lead, the Falcon Army’s crossbowmen alone are enough to slaughter the image of the troops in the city. The main direction of this battle is to break out to the east. Therefore, the center of gravity of the army is also on the right side of the light cavalry assault unit. In addition to the cavalry, there are 30,000 light infantry capable of launching an assault. With the extremely fast light cavalry as the blade, and the light infantry cluster as the embedded heavy hammer, a gap is torn in the blocking direction of the Falcon army, and then the army is embedded, dragging the Falcon army that is good at long-range into the quagmire of melee. , Although you may face heavy losses, the possibility of breaking through will also greatly increase
sent the cavalry to fly all the way from the rear, shouting all the way: "The cavalry strikes, the cavalry strikes!" The wind screamed, and the grass in the field flew randomly. Tens of thousands of Gaul light cavalry clenched their spears tightly, and breathed violently. Their faces looked serious and cold~IndoMTL.com~ because they knew how heavy and terrifying the task before them was. Every heart has a mortal heart!
"The whole army assault!"
Viscount Artua, wearing a red woolen top helmet, raised the lancet in his hand, and countless light cavalry swarmed out like a cluster of arrows ejected from the bowstring, like a flood bursting out of the embankment,
The rumbling of horseshoes is like war thunder rolling, and the light cavalry lowered their spears, like a boulder rolling down from the mountain,
They headed towards the flanks of the Falcon Army. The speed is getting faster and faster, the running becomes a sprint, and then advances at a terrible speed, with an astonishing momentum, like a flash flood and a tsunami that cannot be stopped!
This is the first infantry attacking the Falcon Empire with cavalry since the battle between the Gaul Empire and the Falcon Empire!
Hundreds of ‘door’ Thor cannons placed on the highest point of the ridge screamed violently. The three squadrons added up to more than one hundred large-caliber Army Thor cannons. The entire row of "fired" fierce flames. The fiery red flames with burning Thor bullets passed over the sky, making a sharp sound. , And then fell on the side of the charge cavalry like scattered flowers.
"Boom Rumble" suddenly triggered an unprecedented earthquake. The diffuse smoke and blaze completely covered the ground more than 200 meters in less than two minutes. !
"For Gaul! Go ahead" The Gaul light cavalry made a sound as they bravely, like the tragic elegy echoed by the fall of the empire before the sunset! (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
