Power and Empire Chapter 1954: The river rushes (8)
"Continue to charge!"
Someone yelled, the attack on the flanks made the Gangfei cavalry completely bewildered by the situation in front of them. For a while, various command orders echoed on the wide and long line of attack, and the voices from all directions made Yisan The Gangfei cavalry on the line charge are at a loss,
"There is an ambush, evacuate immediately!"
"Run over and kill them all!"
was also shouted, everywhere was the miserable neigh of arrows from the cavalry horses falling to the ground,
The cavalry were thrown out of the galloping overturned horses, and the forwards had already suffered heavy casualties before they even touched the bridge. Some of them rushed too fast, causing them to be cut apart from the cavalry. Suddenly they were frightened. Found that he had directly hit the front line of engagement,
Not far ahead, a gun array like a cold star in the rain is revealed,
The dense queue of the opponent appeared horribly in the rain, and the long spears neatly raised at the front end were like flowers forming a white mist, and there was no time to think. These hard-and-inhuman cavalry strayed from the front, like a wave slapped on the bank, slapped on the infantry line of the Falcon Army formation, and slammed into the densely erected lances in front. The two armies were almost in an instant. The red human blood was squeezed and splashed out from the front of the horse's impact, like a pouring rain in the sky, the sound of the intensive spear breaking and snapping sounded, and countless colleagues who were hit by the concave shield flew up into the air." The whole army is steady!"
The loud voice of the infantry captain of the Falcon Army echoed in the rain, and the array of the Falcon Army’s spears was washed by the heavy rain, revealing a mountain of motionless momentum,
The cold and blood-red eyes of the soldiers are like a group of lone wolves appearing in the cold rain. They veteranly hid behind a heavy shield, with sharp spears in their hands erecting a row of spears, watching the Gangfei cavalry who crashed into the array, they showed not fear, but contempt for the ferocity of everything, showing addiction. The madness of blood. Ignoring the shaking of the ground from which the war horses rushed, the spear in his hand pierced forward fiercely, and countless spears brought a cold light of killing,
The blood was drenched in the heavy rain, and the horse screamed fiercely. Rows of long spears were drawn out, and large pieces of meat and blood were brought out from the target, which made a violent neigh. The Gangfei cavalry fell from their horses one after another, and the Falcon soldiers below slammed their spears on the fallen Gangfei cavalry. Tie,
"Ah," the screams of the war dead came one after another for a while. This sound stopped
The huge army formation began to close together. The thick, tall infantry heavy shields lined up into a neat army formation like a shrinking triangle, constantly squeezing fewer and fewer enemies on the river beach from three directions. The corpse of the cavalry was pushed down the river, and the mud splashed by the heavy water, the army formation in the raindrops was like a monster devouring the prey that fell into the trap, and the cavalry that broke in was ruthlessly engulfed." Bastard!"
Lesker watched this scene bloodshot and punched in the saddle angrily. The impact failed, the opponent's elite was shocking, and the combat power of its Falcon Empire infantry formation was as unbreakable as the rumors. It is said that a complete Falcon formation is sufficient to fight twice the number of enemies, and even if it is still like a mountain under the siege of three times the enemy, four times the force can be defeated. "Continue to endure the heavy price of side attacks, continue It is a very unwise act to throw troops into the impact of the army"
Lesker's gaze moved upward. It landed in a wooded area where there were constantly intensive arrows shooting out. The number of enemies is not yet known, but the enemy boldly placed melee infantry groups at the mouth of the river. Then the melee force in the woods is very thin. The shortcoming of the distant arms is the melee, and the distance between the opponents and the cavalry attacking the group is less than 200 meters. For the cavalry, this is only ten seconds. A chance to turn the tide of war! Resker's eyes flashed sharply! "Order all troops to attack the woods on the left!"
Reske decisively changed the combat goal, but his temporary order was obviously too late for the Gangfei cavalry who had completely dispersed and launched an impact like an avalanche. When the deputies turned the order to inform the front in the form of a bugle, The Congolese and Fei cavalry units have paid the price of more than 5,000 people. Most of the casualties were on the flanks that were ambushed. Hearing the trumpets from the main formation, a squadron of the Congolese and Fei Guards squadron went crazy. The war horses were full of tragic eyes. In front of him, the entire row of war horses and corpses were piled up in a range of less than 500 meters in length. The entire flanks near the woods were hit by a huge gap. If they were not turned in time, It is possible that the entire cavalry attacking from the right wing will all be wiped out on this line of death, becoming a part of these corpses filled with arrows,
is similar to his situation. The scattered assault lines launched by tens of thousands of cavalry are like a horizontal earth dragon rolling, which can be easily reversed without a single command. The arrow clusters fired from the flanks are very fast. So that there is no time to defend, the Gangfei cavalry who hit the arrow rolled over to the ground one by one. The Gangfei cavalry was still like an arrow from the string, pressing forward in the direction of the predetermined target bridge without hesitation, and then it was like a mountain flood. In the mud dam that was smashed in the middle, the clusters of arrows shot from the densely hit the side without any hindrance, the **** red was mixed in the brown collapsed mud, and the war horse that hit the arrow rolled heavily on the ground. There was a rumbling sound on the ground. "My lord, the enemy has begun to turn!" A Falcon squadron leader reported to the grim-faced Reposti from a short distance, "Well, I can see it! To be honest, if the opponent hasn't responded yet, I'm really disappointed." "Reposti took a deep breath and clenched his fingers together. The real battle is only now beginning. Compared to the bridge entrance where the army is defended, the melee force in the woodland direction is indeed insufficient, only three thousand people are in the center. Army heavy infantry, he was prepared for this. He asked the soldiers to artificially build a two-meter-high soil platform in the woodland to block the impact of the cavalry. "Go!" Reposti said behind him, hearing the order. The soldier raised his left-hand flag high and waved it three times in the air in a V shape. As the flag danced, a long, dazzling red line emerged from behind the bush on the left side of the forest. "It's a signal!" at the other end of the woodland. , Someone made a sound. It was a line of archers lined up in a linear array with huge longbows in their hands. They stood behind the bushes. If they hadn't stood up, they were almost invisible, with red feathers on their metal helmets. The leather armor on the body was cut off the shoulder guards, revealing a shirtless upper body full of muscles, and a huge longbow began to be lifted in the direction of the woodland, "open the string"
These archers easily pulled out the inverted arrow cluster from their feet, and followed the command to firmly place the special arrow cluster on the bowstring, "squeak"
The sound of 1,500 longbow bowstrings neatly pulled apart, accompanied by the rushing raindrops, gave people a tingling sensation of tearing everything, suddenly quiet. Xiao Sha in all creatures, I only heard the rain in this world wash away the moisturizing leaves falling on the ground,
Captain Longbow was the first to loosen the bowstring. The sound of the bowstring tearing the air is so sweet. The powerful arrow cluster has pierced the rain curtain in front of it like an arc, and crossed 150 meters with a whistling white line. The distance from the Gang Fei cavalry captain, and just like this, when the Gang Fei cavalry slammed to the side to counterattack. A more powerful point kill, like a pair of suddenly opened fangs biting down at the waist of a Gangfei cavalry, "Ah!"
The non-cavalrymen only had time to hear a scream and saw a cavalry captain in bright armor charging under the command. The body was hit by a heavy hammer on the chest, and the whole person was ejected from the horseback. The well-made armor that could resist the thrust of a spear was turned into fragments. A white light pierced the captain's body, bright red blood and meat exploded like fog, and the white light pierced the captain's body. It still has a tendency to plunge into the body of another cavalry, and then reveal it again, like a string of gourds, making a creepy pop, and this white light is firmly nailed to a tree trunk not far away. ,
The tail feathers trembled, and the red arrows were like blood." Hiss! "Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning before seeing clearly that the arrow cluster that was steadily nailed into the trunk was an arrow cluster that was obviously heavier than ordinary clusters, and the arrow shaft had a thicker thumb. I can't see what wood is used. The tail feathers behind the arrow clusters are a kind of colorful red feathers. Although they are stained with the bright red and minced meat of human blood, they can still be seen as the tail pheasants of some kind of animal." Is this? "Gang Fei The boss of the Guards Cavalry’s eyes wide open. The tragic situation of the cavalry captain just now made the entire scalp of most of the cavalry blasted by fear. It’s terrible. What is this, it can penetrate the captain’s heavy cavalry armor from a long distance. ! If such arrows were shot on him... the Gangfei Cavalry's face was pale as paper, and the Gangfei Guards who honored their bravery, the look on their faces at this time could be described as wonderful, anger, hesitation, surprise. Or grief and anger,
The thorn tile longbow of the Young Army in the Falcon Empire has never been heard by most of the Gangfei soldiers. In fact, in order not to cause panic among the lower-level officers and soldiers, the Gangfei generals have never been under their command. This kind of brutal force was mentioned in front of the good soldier! The rain is getting heavier, and clusters of arrows continue to hit the face from the wind and rain, with an unstoppable momentum, specifically to meet the Gangfei officers on horseback, but the weakness of the thorn tile longbow is also obvious, and the strong shooting is excessive. Consuming physical strength, soon, the shooting of the thorn tile longbow slackens, and the impact of the cavalry is fierce again
the intensity of the battlefield, starting from the ambush, the brutal consumption of troops,
Under the rain of arrows shot in the face of the wind and rain, the Gangfei cavalry army showed a determination to break the arm of a strong man, completely with a decisive will to continue to invest new forces in, the flying rain made this scene particularly special Heroic, in order to avoid intensive blows. The cavalry of Congo and Fei are scattered in small groups, densely packed, like ants flipping on a long line, and the corpses of the horses and the fallen cavalry are stacked on top of each other.
In the first thirty-five minutes of the battle, Riposti had to squeeze out the last hole cards,
The catapult ambushing behind the woods began to roar, and the huge catapult arm turned into a phantom, violently shooting the catapult out, dozens of catapults slammed down like raindrops with a violent whistling sound. The assaulting Gangfei cavalry was hit like a shock wave splashing in the rain. The cavalry evaded in a panic. The imperial crossbowmen in the woods quickly attacked and killed the scattered cavalry in the cold rain. With heat on their hands, they shirtless to the upper body, using their best to push the 100-jin-heavy rolling stone onto the trebuchet again,
Two hours and fourteen minutes, the Congolese cavalry finally rushed into the woods. What appeared in front of them was a two-meter-high soil platform built with soil. On the soil platform were melee infantry wearing black armor.
"Kill!" Gangfei cavalry drove their horses to hit the earth platform and attacked the earth platform with a human ladder
The two sides are strangling together. This is a super chaotic battle. The queues of both sides are in chaos. The blue of the Gangfei cavalry and the black armor of the empire’s central army are mixed, and the crossbowmen drew out melee. With short swords, 3,000 heavy infantry of the Central Army of the Central Army formed a defensive line on the soil platform. The resisters and the cavalry broke in.
Up and down the soil platform, it is no longer possible to distinguish who is who, the sword and the shadow. The killing and screams were deafening. The imperial crossbowmen jumped onto the soil platform and shot the Gangfei cavalry at close range. Blood flew horizontally between the soldiers on both sides. The corpse was covered in the woodland like an umbrella. If there is no solid soil platform to reach the front, Falcon I'm afraid the military line of defense has already been torn apart
"Report! The fourth squadron was wiped out!"
"Report! The first squadron was defeated!"
Standing in his command position, Riposti's face was silent, and the cavalry was the king of the field. Ambushing the cavalry with infantry is an adventure in itself, and the opponent is the Imperial Guard of Congo and Fei's most powerful force. Sure enough, the strong will to fight is far greater than that of the Congo and Fei troops that have been encountered before, and it really suffered heavy casualties. Still entangled with the adversary who will not retreat. After all, I am not the invincible Majesty Falcon. In just two hours of fighting, the battle in the woodland has cost the Falcon Army 6,000 casualties, but it is not easy to be just non-human. . It is conservatively estimated that from the ambush to the present, at least 15,000 cavalry from the Gang and Fei were killed in battle.
If it were ordinary troops, they would have collapsed long ago. But the opponent is the Emperor’s Imperial Guard, which is the main reason for the deviation of the plan. Another reason is the use of cruel head towers as decoy tactics. It completely angered the whole army of Gangfei, because there were many corpses in front of the soil platform that could already walk up, and a Gangfei cavalry officer jumped off the horse. Carrying a weapon and stepping on the corpse to charge, blood splashed across his face, he looked vicious and yelled to the fierce fighting men around him. The cavalry used their bodies to block the arrow clusters. If one fell down, there would be another supplement. Above, a pair of blood-colored eyes showed an unending will.
The sight of makes the falcons who have been fighting for a long time feel a little scalp tingling,
Are these still those gangsters? No, this is a group of crazy wolves, the other party is completely at no cost. Just to stab himself fiercely, such opponents are the most terrifying on the battlefield. They have turned into beasts, completely giving up their desire for survival.
The raindrops are like rain, and the silver lightning splits the vast sky like a sharp sword. It also illuminates the tragic corpses below. There is a long line of blue and black staggered on the woodland soil platform. The broken spear is still inserted in Gangfei. On the cavalry's body, the spearman was already covered with blood, and was knocked out by the war horse that jumped onto the earth platform as the pedal from the corpse below. The body of the war horse squeezed the falcon soldier in front to give way, thousands of knives. , Swords, and spears collided, and the two sides fought in a staggered fight, and even turned around to pant. Anyone who was close could see each other’s red eyes clearly, and even Reposti’s position began to fight
"Asshole, are you crazy!"
Reposti drew a battle knife from the chest of a Gangfei cavalry, kicked the corpse away heavily, glanced over the battlefield with some annoyance, and found that the whole battlefield was like this. The Gangfei Guards were like ants clinging to it. It’s the same with candy. Under the same number of circumstances, the opponent can kill him inextricably. Such a situation was unimaginable in the past. At this moment, Gang Fei, who is fighting hard and fighting hard, is unimaginable. The army suddenly retreated, "Hurrah, it's our people!"
Following the direction of the cheers’ fingers, Riposti saw a Falcon Army flag appearing on the side of the Congolese Army.
is the cavalry of Jaglins! "Reposti looked at that army flag always wandering not far and near. It is basically Jaglins. Jaglins has only 1,500 troops. It is because of this that the Congolese army stopped attacking and has already been on it. At one time, the commander of the Congolese Army was obviously more cautious.
"Master Lesker, the enemy will harass the flank of our army at any time~IndoMTL.com~ Let's wait until the infantry group to attack again!"
Dan Kulun, the commander of the Second Cavalry of the Guards, returned from the front in embarrassment. His face was ugly. There was a large blood on his left shoulder oozing out of the armor, and his arm was drooping weakly. It seemed that the injury was not light. Even generals like him are injured, but the intensity of the battle can be imagined,
In fact, after two hours of fighting, Reske had to accept the cruel fact that the lower captain was killed nine out of ten. The middle-level officers led the team, and the offensive from the Guards began to appear. Declining, showing a state of unsustainable stamina, continue to fight, Lesker dare not say that there is no possibility of collapse
"My lord, Jaglins asked me to report that the enemy infantry group has accelerated and is only ten miles away! It's best to evacuate to the other side of the river now." At the same time, another piece of information was sent to Reposti's In hand,
"It's a pity, if you can give me some time!" Reposti plunged his sword into the soil, and looked at the scout's report reluctantly. The infantry from the army was going crazy. Come here, if he can give him some time, he is sure to gnaw off another piece of meat and cut down two-thirds of the Gangfei cavalry here.
The opponent is also obviously fatigued. After launching three consecutive offensives, it has begun to slow down the offensive. If there is one, it may be able to completely defeat these cavalry.
"Order the whole army to retreat to the other side of the river in an orderly way!" After hesitating, Reposti gave up this tempting idea. He left 10,000 people at the bridge entrance just to keep this way of retreat. (To be continued) []
