Power and Empire Chapter 1922: The Empire’s Counterattack (6)
"Sure enough, it's here!"
The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth and rode his horse to the hillside in front of him. What he saw was the rolling hills and mountains like waves. The mountain road and gully were like spider webs. Looking down from a high place, you can see the inhuman The infantry team is like a giant snake marching through the hills,
" There are six different flags! It seems that the opponent is going all out!" Hu Keqili sighed from behind. Judging from the team that was dragged out by the opponent for three or four miles, Renxian is about About 50,000 to 60,000 people, I saw that in front of the Gangfei unit below was a whole group of lightly armed infantry holding a shield, and in the middle was a heavy infantry with a long spear and a heavy shield. At the leading position of the legion, there are several crests of serrated elm leaves fluttering in the wind, as well as several flags with different markings. The marching queue will also be a one-line formation for maximum marching speed. Obviously , The non-military commander who was frightened by the sudden retreat of the Falcon Army would never have thought that an elite cavalry unit of ten thousand people had already planted murderous intentions here.
"The sudden withdrawal of the Falcons is suspicious, but the scout's report is not like a lie, but why"
I still feel insecure.” Boai Casa led an army of 60,000 to pursue. I looked nervously at the hills on the left and right. The terrain here is a natural ambush ground. One hill is connected to another hill. If there is no scout Pathfinder, even if the two armies pass by, it is difficult to detect,
" Are there any new reports from frontline scouts?
" Boai Casa slammed the horse, looked at the hills on the left and right, and asked the adjutant in a condensed voice. I don’t know why he always has an ominous premonition in his heart that the Falcons suddenly withdraw at night, and I don’t know. Is it true to withdraw the troops, or to put out a net in front of you waiting for yourself
" The Falcon Army has stopped retreating, and it is about ⒖ mile away from us!" The adjutant’s answer without hesitation made his heart feel a little unsure, and yes, the Falcon Army will not appear here, he Hundreds of scouts have always followed behind. Even the flies of the Falcons have to distinguish between male and female." That's good!" Boai Casa raised his whip. It seems that he was over-hearted and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. I have sent so many scouts, and every move of the Falcon Army is under control. At this moment, there were a few dull sounds from the gloomy sky,
"Well? What's the matter?" Boai Casa was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard a trembling voice,
"Attention, the enemy's cavalry!" The troops in front suddenly became chaotic, and the stern shouts revealed a bit of panic, like an invisible sharp blade suddenly rising in people's hearts. The marching troops stopped one after another, and Boai Casa was also hurriedly looking for it,
"Look at that!" someone shouted, pointing to the flanking hills. Boai Casa looked over, her body shuddered suddenly,
I only saw the pale white edge of the dark sky in the book, and dark black lines appeared on the high hills on the side. The black lines became more and more, like a stream of water, expanding the black water with an astonishing degree. The water flow turned into a black river, it was thousands of cavalry troops, overwhelming. The black armor seems to be able to **** the human soul in,
" "When the order is passed down, the teams immediately resisted! "Boai Casa looked hesitant and shouted, but as a line of marching queue, it is not easy to switch from marching to defensive position in a hurry. Each infantry team is turning hastily, and the soldiers are in a mess.
"Attention forward!" The forward commander of Gangfei shouted, "Stay steady on the spot!"
Despite the nervousness and panic, the pre-war arrangement of Boai Casa, the defensive master, immediately made the one-word queue automatically dispersed into a dozen resistance teams,
One team and one team form a square matrix. Suppressed with a panic, the soldiers lined up tightly. The five-meter-long spear shaft rested on the ground with the tip of the spear. The spear at the back was placed on the shoulder, and the front soldier's teeth trembled and looked at the black cavalry who would fall down like a landslide at any time from the heights. Holding the spear tightly in his hand, he pointed diagonally to the dense spear tip in the dark sky. The terrifying sharp spear head with flashing metal underneath
sent the cavalry like the wind to shout from the front of each formation team, "If you dare to retreat without authorization, kill without mercy!"
"It's interesting!"
Fatty looked at the inhuman changes below from a height, and there was a rare glimmer of appreciation in his eyes
This defensive master does not seem to be a silly figure. He can react in such a short period of time and give a cruel order to retreat and kill, so that the tens of thousands of people who have just been messed up just now are changed. It's like a hedgehog bursting out of anger, and there must be a **** enlightenment at the entrance from there. But it would be ridiculous to think that this would make oneself retreat.
"Your Majesty, give an attack order!"
Hu Keqili had a firm gaze, and quickly put on the helmet on his hand and fastened the strap under the helmet. Behind him, the most elite imperial cavalry neatly picked up the lancet in his hand, and the wind rolled up the mountain. The broken leaves of the gang flew up in front of this strong murderous aura, the war horse sprayed a hot breath, and rasped the ground violently
" Do you know where to attack? "The fat man tilted his head and did not rush to issue an attack order
" It is natural to adopt a strategy of cutting off in the middle, and then drive out the enemy’s defeated army..." Hu Keqili was taken aback for a moment,
"Stupid! Our goal is to open up the road to the south coast. You have adopted a strategy of defeating these 60,000 African troops and all of them fled back to the fortress. What is the point of us bringing them out? Or are you prepared? Lead them out again?" The fat man gently coiled his fingers around the riding whip and said coldly
"This..." Hu Keqili was a little confused, his face lowered awkwardly, "Please also your Majesty for advice!"
"Our goal is the Bavuni Fortress, which is 25 miles away from the fortress"
There was a cold light flashing in Fatty’s eyes, and he smiled and said, "The opponent has almost no remaining troops, and they are still infantry. We are cavalry. We need to fight these infantry here to the death?
" Your majesty said, let’s go straight to the Bawu Ni Fortress! "Hu Keqili is also a famous general in the empire. Although he can't keep up with the fat man's thinking, he is also a person who listens to the strings.
" Yes! "The fat man nodded with some relief." I have ordered the infantry and flag regiment to arrange a defensive array in front. We will take the Bawu Ni Fortress. The 60,000 people from the Gang Fei Army are two blocked mice. We fight, and within three days, we will collapse on our own due to the low morale of the army! So there is no need to meet them on this mountainous land to death and death!"
"Hiss, great!" Hu Keqili's eyes puffed up, and he heard a breath of cold air, his whole body was cold, I wiped it, and it is shameless to be able to fight like this, but it also brings the essence of strategy. To the extreme, sometimes I really doubt whether His Majesty Falcon is human or not,
The real goal is actually from beginning to end. They are all on the fortress of Gangfei. If you don’t make a move, it is an unexpected lore, and it is the kind of powerless resistance that makes the other party desperate.
A group of infantrymen walking on their legs have to rush back to the fortress of Nimuni, which is 25 miles away. It takes at least four hours, while the cavalry on this side is at most one hour, a full three-hour time difference, which is nearly ten thousand. The strength of the guards is enough to take down the unprepared Bavuni fortress. At that time, the 60,000 soldiers who were just inhumane lost the fortress and were blocked before and after. It is true that the heart of crying is all there, and the morale of the army is I was hit hard by this, just hit it to the end without hitting it! It's **** if you don't fry the pan on the spot!
" Well, don’t delay." The fat man waved his hand. Brother is powerful, but he is stared at by a man with admiration, but there is no sense of pride. Before that, a proper posture to confuse the enemy is still necessary. Of
"Confused the enemy?" Hu Keqili muttered to himself, obviously he has not recovered from the shock
"The longbowman among the guards is out!"
Fatty commanded the cavalry behind him. The two thousand thorn tile longbowmen of the Imperial Guards, who were armed with large meter bows, descended from Zhanma Mountain and formed four teams in a line on the high mountain. With the command, the two-meter long bow was supported by arms that were as thick as ordinary people's legs. Slowly raise a forty-five degree angle towards the tense Gangfei infantry formation,
"Chuck" the bowstring of the longbow was stretched to its maximum, and the steel arrows with blood grooves were lifted up, flashing a layer of cold metal with a pale white light
"What's the situation?"
, the defensive master Boai Kasa below is already nervous and trembling. The opposing cavalry has more than 10,000 cavalry, and they are murderous. Although the temporary arrangement has worked, after all, the force is not concentrated. Once the opponent is launched With full impact, the loss of our own party is definitely more than three times that of the other party. Now I can only hope that the other party will be frightened by his own temporary arrangement. The opponent's cavalry has not moved for a long time. Instead, some of the cavalry came down from the station and became infantry archers. /
"Is this going to be a strong attack?" Boai Casa unconsciously twitched the corner of her eyes, her nervous palms were covered with sweat beads, at this moment, a burst of torrential rain sounded neatly,
jump! jump! Jump, the Falcon Army’s attack began, and the rumored Falcon’s armor-piercing arrows flew into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The white cold cluster is like a swarm of locusts suddenly rising from the edge of the forest, tracing a series of rapid and graceful white lines from the hilly area on their flanks. Leap quickly over the staggering 200-meter distance,
"This is...
. . . "In that tragic scene, the eyes of Fraternity Casa almost burst out, and the white light struck, and the infantrymen flew out like they were hit. A bunch of thick arrows shot through his chest, even with a shield. It was also useless. The arrows shot through the shield, and the castrated people flew out together. There were countless spots of blood and the crisp sound of broken bones. The screams of the deceased before death made people horrified. It once made the whole Icardi The Vanuatu army was terrified of the top arms, and at this moment it broke out with a sharp aura like a storm.
several consecutive rounds of shooting made the Gang Fei infantry army directly seem to be cut off.
"Attention! The enemy cavalry is starting to kill!" Gang Fei shouted from all the phalanxes, "Stabilize the formation and keep walking!" Horseshoe rumbling in his ears. The ground under the ears and feet trembled violently.
The hearts of the soldiers were pounding with tension and their hands were shaking! Two hundred meters! The 150-meter cavalry rushed to close enough to clearly see the white gas of the horse's snort, and the soaring dust choked the soldiers to breathe. It is expected that in less than ten seconds, the two armies will collide violently
"Stand firmly, prepare"
The army officer screamed sharply, and thousands of spears pointed at each other. The soldiers held their breath and waited for the word "stab",
In an instant, the black cavalry group in front suddenly reined their horses and turned at the same time, and the momentum of the forward rush has turned to the left.
The dust of the horse that was rolled up like a storm made Gangfei unable to open his eyes with such a skillful horsemanship and such a uniform movement. Such a straightforward action made the soldiers and soldiers who felt like leaves in front of the strong wind stunned. After ten minutes, the smoke subsided and the black horse like a murderer disappeared
"The enemy has withdrawn?" Gangfei soldiers looked at the horse **** that was not seen in the distance, completely stupid, not knowing whether to laugh or cry
"It looks like we are victorious?" The surviving Gangfei soldier sat on the ground in disbelief. The hand holding the spear would be sweaty. The commentary on his face was already dusty. It became a big face,
" Your lord, the enemy has withdrawn! We are victorious! "The adjutant ran up and down, and he drew his sword from his hand, and cheered for Kasar, who was ready to die for his country. Like him, sixty thousand The cheering voice of Gangfei soldiers shook the whole hills rumblingly
" Oh, scared to death! Is this being ignored? Who the **** is the opposing commander! "Boai Kasa wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was a **** battle. I didn’t expect that the opponent was just thunder, heavy and rainy. I should still be frightened by our own momentum, right?
" Count the losses! Order the troops to gather, otherwise it will be bad for the enemy to come back." Boai Casa turned to the adjutant behind him and ordered, he was quite complacent. Look, he was blown to the sky by other colleagues. The armored cavalry was scared away by himself!
"My lord, our army lost 1,100 soldiers and wounded 34 people!"
"What? So much!" Boai Casa looked at the battle damage report in his hand, and some couldn’t believe it. The opponent only took a few rounds of attacks and took away more than 1,000 lives. Terrible combat power!
" My lord, shall we continue to move forward? "A dusty infantry commander came here
"En? Forward?" Boai Casa took back his gaze from the battle damage report, stood up, patted the ashes on his body, his gaze suddenly paused, um, no, the enemy cavalry unit appeared here, I There are no reports from the scouts at all! "Thinking of this, Boai Casa waved her head
There is definitely a problem there. If it hadn’t been arranged temporarily by myself, the entire army would have been in danger of being wiped out just now.
But the opponent ambushed himself here, why did he evacuate without a formal battle? The direction of the opponent's withdrawal. . . . It's the direction of Bawuen Fortress!
The thought of made Boai Casa suddenly felt that his scalp exploded, and the battle damage report in his hand fell from the dull fingers to the ground. The opponent did not evacuate, but directly attacked the fortress! Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and kill it with one stone! Because most of the troops were mobilized to attack, the number of troops staying at the Bawuen Fortress was less than 3,000. Thinking of the enemy cavalry that was like a black line just now, Boai Kasa felt that the blood of the body was about to freeze." Hurry up, the whole army immediately set off and return to the fortress!" He shouted in a hysterical voice almost madly, with a desperate tone in his tone. It's not that the opponent doesn't fight himself, but there is no need to fight himself! At this time, Boai Casa really wanted to shout, "If you have the ability, come and fight me! Fighting fortresses is nothing!"
Benevolent Fortress,
Because of the evacuation of the Falcon Army outside the city, the sentries sat listlessly on the head of the city and chatted. No one noticed that they were in the dense forest area one meter away from the fortress. A piece of white light is swiftly hitting "What sound?" A sentry vaguely heard something, and stood up curiously, leaning out half of his body and looking towards the sky.
"The enemy... the enemy..." His voice hasn't come out yet, like a blade of void in the cold night, his body exploded with blood, and countless clusters of arrows had fallen from the sky at the same moment. Come, like starlight bursting out of the darkness, puff! puff! puff! "Arrows hit the flesh, and the terrible throws even made the person who hit the arrow clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in his body, the splashing of minced meat, and the slight white light in the optical fiber.
Blood light accompanied by bone fracture and brittle sound
"Enemy attack! "A few minutes later, there was a stern and tragic cry on the fortress wall. Below the wall, a group of black cavalry galloped toward the gate,
"Hurry up, pull up the suspension bridge!" The officer on the Gang Fei shouted in a panic, and loudly ordered the soldiers to pull the winch. The fortress suspension bridge suspended by the metal wire made a creaking sound, and slowly lifted it up.
Below the city wall, the longbow captain who was in charge of blocking released the bowstring hand, and the powerful longbow arrow directly hit a soldier pulling the winch. This soldier flew out like an impact. A sturdy cluster of arrows shot through his chest, and pierced through the body continuously, "stuck firmly on the winch
" Ah! "The soldier yelled in pain~IndoMTL.com~ covered in blood, with both hands struggling to hold the shot shoulder, collapse! "Another cluster of arrows shot into his neck from the left, and the white tail trembling at his throat. His pain came to an abrupt end, his hands and feet dropped weakly, and his knees knelt on the ground
"Damn!" The other soldiers pulling the winch ran back in shock,
The suspension bridge just pulled up was smashed down heavily, and the cable was cut by the black armored cavalry flying down the bridge
"Attack with full force!" The fat man saw that the guard cavalry as a commando cut the suspension bridge and drew his sword violently. Countless black armored guard cavalry flew out from the forest position, and the direction of the fortress was sloppy. Shooting can't stop the guards from approaching the city wall. The two thousand longbowmen below are also causing the defenders to fall in pieces.
"Papa Papa" The guards took off the hook from the battle horse and threw it from the bottom of the city wall to the inside of the wall. The metal barb bounced up for a while, and with a hand pull, the falling hook was firmly hung. Strong battlements.
"I can stop them!" The Gaul soldier above panicked, holding a long spear and piercing the head below.
The imperial guards climbing below grabbed the opponent's spear and pulled it down, rushing forward, slashing fiercely. The blade of the snow made the Gangfei soldiers on top of it turned over. One hour later, the Gangfei army flag was cut off from the southern town of Bawuni Fortress.
