Power and Empire Chapter 1870: Wall Rock Fort (1)
"What! Withdraw troops?"
In the gray-white hall constructed from one hundred and seventy giant rocks, the head of the Kyoto front, Derek, who is feeling proud of the spring breeze, threw the letter of order he just sent on the ground with an angry expression. Gu Ji stood opposite him, a Jane Guard officer with an unusually ugly face
"Master Derek"
The Guards officer's gaze drifted over the order book on the ground, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Kyoto is in danger, the Falcons have captured Vernon, and they will soon come to Kyoto, Your Majesty The adults and you are all looking forward to the army's return. I don’t know when the adults are going to leave, so I can go back and have an explanation
"Back to what? Kyoto!"
Derek's eyes flashed with arrogance. He is now a heavy minister with the authority of a 200,000 army. His great achievements in occupying the wall rock fort have made him almost forget that he is a puppet,
He said in a deep voice, "Do you think I'm also the officials of the Kyoto gang who don't know anything? What encirclement, what captures Vernon, what Kyoto is in danger! The Falcons attacking Vernon's troops only amounted to 20,000 people. , It was the commander of Vernon who caused the disintegrated Tillan troops to overwhelm the defense line! So I will not order the return of the army because of this stupid order!"
Master " Although I admire you for the victory of occupying the wall rock fort, I hope you know that this order is meant by your majesty the emperor and all the adults in Kyoto! Your words offended your majesty’s look as an officer of the Imperial Guard Seriously, his body said straight, he looked at the opposite Derek with a little warning,
"Offensive? Okay, I apologize, I'm just a little bit too moved!"
Derek raised his eyebrows. When it comes to offending the emperor, he doesn’t dare to be too big, although occupying the wall rock fort has made him so famous now that he is no longer the puppet who needs to look at people’s faces at any time. character. But it does not mean that he dared to despise the emperor. He was just thinking about how he could not return to Kyoto. Here, he was the important minister who held the power of 200,000 troops and determined the life and death of the empire. No official in the empire dared to despise a powerful existence. , But once he returns to Kyoto, he will fight back to his original form and become a puppet that everyone can order! It may even be replaced by others at any time,
Comparing the two, Derek has made up his plan to never return to Kyoto even if he died. But the charge of ignoring His Majesty’s orders cannot be borne casually,
was silent for a while, and Derek flashed a hint of coldness in his eyes, and replied, "Well, in order to alleviate your majesty’s troubles and the anxiety of the adults in Kyoto, I will immediately dispatch an army to take back Vernon. As far as I know, the Falcons The army is still resting in Vernon, and its strength is only about 30,000. If the wall rock fort is abandoned because of this, it will really open the door that has been closed again, and the army of the Falcon Empire can easily complete the coveted strategic encirclement! "
" But! "The officer of the Janissary Guard was obviously unwilling to give up, and a glint flashed in his eyes. This is inconsistent with the original plan. Sister Algernon Julia wants control of the 200,000 army in Kyoto. As for Vernon, it is just an excuse!
"I know it! Here. I'm the highest commander, and I won't transfer some people back to Kyoto!" Derek grunted displeasedly and waved his hand. He curled his lips slightly, what happened to the young people nowadays, they didn’t even have a little basic etiquette. Really, they dare to speak like this to Shangguan
He called the adjutant in and ordered to send off the guests without showing his face. A small Guards officer dared to teach himself, and he didn’t look at what he was right now, and waited until his face was full. The unwilling Janissary Guard officer was forcibly sent away, and Derek walked to the door of the office.
ordered the guard outside the door, "Notify the 11th and 12th Infantry Commanders of the Kyoto Army to come to me!" Soon, two commanders of the Kyoto Army Infantry Regiment arrived,
"My lord!" The two infantry captains saluted to their Derek, standing at the window with their backs to them.
"You are here just right, I have a mission for you!" Derek heard the voice behind him, turned around, picked up the signed order form on the table, and said, "Just got the news, Falcon Army Breaking through Vernon from the north!"
"What! Vernon was broken!" The expressions of the two infantry captains changed, and they said, "Vernon is the gateway to the north of Kyoto, and now the Falcons have penetrated into the heart of Kyoto!"
"Don’t worry, Vernon’s Falcon Army is insufficient, with less than 30,000 people! So it’s nothing to worry about. You first bring a part of the army to Kyoto, and set up a defensive line before the Falcon Army approaches Kyoto." Delhi Ke confidently drew a line on the military map on the wall, and said solemnly, "Remember, your duty is just to contain you. If you are not a last resort, don't touch the Falcons!"
"Yes!" The two infantry captains led the way.
Derek leisurely opened a bottle of red wine and poured himself a full glass! Reoccupy Vernon? What a joke! If Vernon hadn’t restrained Kyoto’s attention, how could he stay in the wall for a long time? Derek believes that the Falcons at this time should not have any immediate plans to attack Kyoto,
Because from the point of view of the forces that attacked Vernon, the main force of the Falcon Army should still be in the wider northern part of the empire,
The Falcon army that has just occupied the north must be desperately seizing the territory, where there will be leisurely attacking Kyoto, and it is enough to transfer 40,000 people back to express their stance! Derek’s judgment was not wrong. The fat man did not intend to attack Kyoto immediately. If the fat man had to be the 200,000 Gallic army of the wall rock fort,
Derek’s short-sightedness and selfishness have ruined the opportunity for the 200,000 Gaul troops to retreat in time,
The 20,000 central cavalry led by Saron succeeded in a raid on Vernon. The 50,000 imperial troops led by Fatty personally drove into Vernon. Although the land in the north is attractive, Fatty thinks that there are opportunities for war. Not to be missed, the Gaul’s military power in the north has been wiped out, and it is only a matter of time before taking over the territory.
It is the most meaningful thing to decide this war by eating the 200,000 troops of Gaul Kyoto in one fell swoop this winter,
Just when Derek was unwilling to send troops to Kyoto, the plains outside of Gaul Kyoto 30 miles, at noon, the sun shone on the white ground, and the gloomy chill enveloped the bare woods. Holding in his hand the information sent by Angelio, the big gangster who has been lurking next to Algernon Julia for more than a year,
Knowing that the Gaul’s conqueror decided to retreat the troops from the Wall Fortress last night, the fat man decided to take a risk and led the 50,000 empire’s central army from Vernon in the morning. Arrived here at noon and waited. There were as many as 200,000 Gaul troops in the wall rock fort. At present, the main force has not yet been assembled, and it is still unable to form an encirclement. Since encirclement cannot be encircled, the only way to prevent it is to frighten the opponent. If the commander was still an experienced and calm Alder, the fat man would definitely not dare to do this, he might not be surprised. There will be a rush of anger to fight a counterattack, but the opposing commander is just a small man gaining power and an old nobleman with almost no combat experience. The fat man is confident that he can ambush with 50,000 troops, which is enough to direct him if he can’t figure it out. Scared back to the wall rock fort,
The weather was very gloomy and the cold wind was blowing. 50,000 people were divided into four battle queues and lay in ambush in the woodlands on both sides of the avenue. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was a little clearer, and a messenger rushed in and whispered "coming!" Everyone became nervous. Ran to the edge of the woods one after another,
Looking from a distance, a line of Gauls came along the avenue, with a group of light cavalry in front. Without a scout, it would be obvious that someone would dare to set up ambush on the fifty-mile journey from Pikyan Fort to Gaul Kyoto. The infantry team at the back is a little denser,
They were advancing on the snowy road. Because of the cold weather, many soldiers did not wear combat armor. For ordinary Gaul soldiers, heavy armor is not only a burden in winter temperatures. It's that simple. The cold and biting iron skin often freezes the flesh and skin together. The process of removing the armor is tragic. There are few scars similar to the pattern of armor on the soldier.
"Your Majesty, it seems the number is wrong!"
Hu Keqili cautiously leaned over, looking down from a height, the number of Gaul troops below will not exceed 50,000, which is far from the expected 200,000 crowds,
"Wait!"
The fat man waved his hand, and the snow-covered grass under the horse's hoof was swaying in the cold wind, and the wind blew by, everyone was holding their breath."
has passed five thousand people, and there is a vague noise of soldiers and horses from the east, and another Gaul army is pressing over, getting closer and closer. A sea of blue people like the tide, the flying flags show his identity, and the colorful feathers are the symbol of the officer. The team was very messy, with cavalry and infantry mingled forward. The harsh noise of Gaul soldiers can be heard, like a flock of sparrows.
"Your Majesty, it has been determined that there are no other troops within five miles!" The scout brought new news,
The cold-faced fat man issued a firm voice and said, "Let’s start!
"Shoot!"
Countless clusters of arrows are like a storm and head toward the Gaul troops in the middle from both sides, snapping with the locusts passing by." The arrow plunged into the Gaul soldiers and brought a large number of soldiers screaming. The sharp Mitsubishi arrow plunged deeply into the armor from all angles and brought a fluffy bright red dazzling red. The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh is like the tear of a bloodthirsty beast with its sharp teeth. Pull
"What's going on!" The Gaul people are a little bit dumbfounded. The first thirty miles is Gaul Kyoto, and the next twenty miles is the wall rock fort where the army is stationed, but they were ambushed here,
"Kill!" From the broad chests of the infantry in the Falcon Empire's formation, the roaring sound resounded across the plain, and the ground was shaking! A cluster of black cavalry rushed out of the forest on the side of the road, like a storm! The offense begins!
"Attention, enemy attack!"
was ambushed in an impossible place, and the Gaul team was in chaos. The officers yelled "End! End!" But in the scattered march, it is not easy to organize an effective defense system. The infantry and cavalry were mixed, and the units were staggered and hindered each other. The soldiers ran around dazed by the arrows shot,
"Asshole, move closer if you don't want to die!"
The officers shouted hoarsely, arrows shot into their chests from a distance, the corpse was hurriedly kicked and beaten by the horses, and a long red snow mark was drawn frantically on the ground dragging the corpse upside down. The archers were hurriedly transferred to the forefront. Before they could enter the firing line, the imperial infantry rushing from both sides had already thrown their javelins in a row without hesitation.
Because the target to be dealt with may be 200,000 Gaul troops, each infantryman is assigned four javelins. These are defense weapons seized in Vernon and are specially used to target the heavy infantry of the Falcon Empire. The armor-piercing javelin, this time swept a mass of killings on the heads of the Gauls
" Boom! "The Gallic archer raised his head in horror, and saw countless silver lights tracing a beautiful arc from high above to his head, pop, pop! Javelin Rain fell into the dense crowd of Gauls with terrible force, bringing out a terrifying scream.
The elite army of 50,000 people is almost unimpeded by the ordinary army of 50,000 people. Twenty skirmish lines rushed straight down from the height of the flanks, rushing into the chaotic formation of Gauls. The black imperial infantry expanded like waves, rushing down turbulently, and the entire row of javelins hit the pipa like rain. The Gauls tried to stabilize the array, and were instantly penetrated. The square array that the Gauls were good at, Under this **** rainstorm, the crowded soldiers were nailed to the ground in rows, and the red human blood gathered on the ground into a small river
"Assault! "The first row of Falcon infantry who finished throwing the javelin drew close combat knives.
is behind them. The second row of Falcon soldiers began throwing javelins again to cover the charge of their companions. Then, there is the third row, the fourth row,
"Shoot!"
Twenty thousand imperial crossbowmen have already rushed into a close position. They squatted halfway up high and had a clear view of the bottom, and started firing at the resisting Gaul soldiers from fifty meters away. Countless Gaul soldiers were shot through their heads and throats before the battle,
" Block them. Otherwise, everyone will die! "The desperate Gaul officers shouted hysterically, and the dense javelins and arrows rained down one after another. They were caught off guard and walked in front of the Gaul Kyoto. Half the strength of the Twelfth Infantry Regiment. In this way, I was defeated without contact.
"Escape!"
Thinking of being ambushed in front of their own door, the soldiers have long been in a mess. They ran around like crazy, some ran towards the wall rock fort, and some ran towards Kyoto. The Gaul infantry who did not form a phalanx were the targets of the massacre in front of the most elite troops of the Falcon Empire, and they did not wait for them to form the most expert phalanx defense. The cry of horror is close to my ears
The ferocious screams of "kill" are full of the blood of the battlefield. The voices of the soldiers of the Falcon Empire are like mountain torrents and tsunami, and the shining swords are already in front of you! The rough waves of people hit the Gaul soldiers head-on
"Puff!"
The sound of a sharp weapon slashing on the human body, the violent impact of the shield, the terrifying fight, the spears and machetes waving all over the sky, the metal light of the weapon gleaming on the snow, the blood is spraying, and it falls to the ground. The soldiers screamed, the wounded horse lay on the ground and hissed in panic, and the chaotic footsteps moved hurriedly.
Fatty looked at the battlefield below calmly, not knowing what went wrong, the main Gaul force that should be withdrawn suddenly became a force of about 40,000,
This fat man is a little more certain. Derek, the head of the Gaul Kyoto line, this obscure little man, after he sent a wall rock fort, has really become dissatisfied with Gaul Kyoto and should have withdrawn 200,000. The army only withdrew to a mere 40,000 people indiscriminately to recharge
" Although I didn’t catch a big fish, it’s better to catch two small shrimps! Derek, I’ll help you once for free, Hu Keqili, let’s attack! "The fat man waved his hand. It’s from Gaul Kyoto. It’s too close to the wall rock fort. An ambush here is a gamble. There is not much time to delay here
"Guards, follow me!"
Hu Keqili heard the order and drew the war knife from his waist.
Because it is too close to Gaul Kyoto and Wall Rock Fort, once awakened on both sides, this ambush will be dangerous, so the two thousand black imperial guard cavalry like the gods of death exist as a queue for the final blow. Kili’s choice of attack direction, from the side of the other blocked regiment in Gaul, the two Gaul infantry regiments are already finished, and the other one is messed up, everything is over
The black armored cavalry jumped out of the dense forest and swooped behind the army.
Attention, flanks! "The Gaul officer looked at the cavalry cluster coming like a hurricane, and suddenly screamed out~ IndoMTL.com~ The soldiers hesitated and turned their heads around, hurriedly turning their spears. The spears protruding forward from the dense layers hurriedly. The ground turned around, before they were ready, the horseshoes of the guard cavalry had already rushed in mercilessly, slashed and killed, the crowd surged, the shining imperial sword swept like a metal tide, and they had already pounced. After getting on the side of the Gaul army, a blade of swords shining like snow, dazzling and dazzling, horseshoe rumbling, the Gaul soldiers turned their spearheads, discarded their armor, and hurriedly flashed to both sides.
The chaotic array immediately spread out like water, almost no effective sniping. The guard cavalry was like a sharp knife, piercing the back of the Gaul.
"Asshole, the cavalry of the Falcon Empire!"
In the chaotic queue, Randolph, commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment of Gaul Kyoto, roared again and again, screaming like a pig being slaughtered. The rear army first began to collapse, and the defeated soldiers poured forward like a flood. , And in the front, the soldiers of the 11th Step Corps rushed to the rear. They were completely messed up. The officers could not find the subordinates, and the subordinates could not find the officers. Many soldiers didn't even wear the armor, and now they even have weapons. Lost in the snow. Everyone is running for their lives, and once this trend collapses, it is difficult to recover.
Randolph looked stupidly at this miserable scene, watching his subordinates being scattered by the enemy like a lamb, watching the troops he has painstakingly experienced, and he was defeated without even a decent battle. In an instant, there were only two words left in Randolph's mind, "despair."
