Power and Empire Chapter 2983: Cut off Yunkong (12)

Under the June sky when the earth eagle flies, the southern part of Central and Biya is raging into the sky, and more than one hundred thousand troops of the Yelu family suddenly went south, finally breaking the battle line that has been balanced for the past two years. Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting for millions. People are displaced like rootless duckweed, which is different from the turbulence of the turbulent land in southern Central Biya

In the wilderness area to the west of Zhongbia, the battle between the empire and the mountain province was like a sword that easily pierced the defense line of the mountain province. In just a dozen days, let All areas near the edge of the wilderness in the mountain province fell, because Algernon Julia was cut off the road back to the mountain, had to lead the 30,000 remnants of the army to escape into the territory of Central and Biya, and now fully command the mountain province army to resist the empire The responsibility of Cointreau’s advancement fell on the empire’s old adversary. He initially tried to suppress the rise of the Northwest in the southwest, and then he commanded the elite Northern Legion of the Gaul Empire and the imperial army. Algernon Katja, the elite of the army fled into the mountains,

Because the main force was basically taken away by Algernon Julia, the temporarily recruited mountain troops were almost completely disintegrated under the offensive of the 30,000 former troops of the Empire.

Mulihe, who had just been promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial Wilderness Army just because of his achievements in the wilderness, rushed up to the hills in front of him, his eyes were sharply swept across the ground in front, and his thick eyebrows frowned slightly. The mountain province is like a broad carpet of meadows extending far away under the horses’ hoof,

Under the white morning light, moving with the wind, the scenery is magnificent and beautiful. It is just the blood-stained scene of the earth, adding a bit of coldness and tragedy. The corpses of soldiers in the mountains with countless arrows pierced through the ground lying on the ground. The host’s war horse lowered its head to eat the grass, and the blood under the corpse turned the ground into blood-colored mud.

A team of imperial cavalry in black armor galloped past, taking up the fresh moist soil on the ground without mercy, and throwing it into the air fiercely. In the distance, more imperial cavalry were like a picture The huge open fan spreads over here, like the dew scattered on the grassland in the morning, along the woodland, hills, and river valleys scattered along the way, lightly equipped archers with more than a hundred riders as a team. After a little drag, the quiver slung on each side of the waist is pulling out the wolf-toothed barb arrows from the corpse one by one.

"Has the situation been reported to Your Majesty?"

Mulihe stopped his horse and turned to ask the messenger cavalry behind him. The subtle and unknown feeling in front of him has become more and more intense. Since the army drove into the mountains and passed along the way, the troops of the provinces in the mountains dispersed without fighting. Until a day ago, a wilderness army of thousands of people didn’t know if it got lost while retreating in a hurry, or didn’t expect the emperor’s army to advance so quickly that it hit the 13 thousand and three led by Mulihe. The front of the Thousand Prairie Cavalry was naturally crushed without any accident, and then chased along the way, leaving behind a corpse.

Although the main force of the army in the mountains came out, the intelligence feedback received along the way was quite shocking to Mulihe, who was in charge of the army.

Algernon Katya collected high war taxes from the Gaul nobles in the entire mountain province under the condition of insufficient troops. The amount reached an astonishing millions. It is said that Algernon Katya used this money to spend a lot of money. Recruiting war mercenaries from Shanzhong province, according to the feedback situation.

At the beginning, more than 200,000 people from Gaul flocked to the mountain province, among them there were about 20 to 30,000 nobles, and the others were accompanying vassals, guards, servants, etc., as the mountain province was cut off from the Gaul region In the first year, because of food shortages, one-third of the nobles of Gaul did not survive and declared bankruptcy. In the second year, more than half of the nobles of Gaul went bankrupt. The total amount was more than 10,000. With these nobles of Gaul. The impact of the decline is not just the decline of a family, there are more vassals, servants, and guards who depend on these high-ranking masters to become idlers,

At this moment, in the invisible place ahead, these idlers were absorbed into the army by Algernon Katya. The number is conservatively estimated to be 50,000 to 60,000. This sudden increase in force is indeed a threat. Judging from the situation encountered last night, these temporary mountain troops are not well equipped, use all weapons, and are not good at tactics, otherwise they will not be troubled by a hundred men under their command for two or three hours. Finally, the imperial cavalry was swept down by a large number of imperial cavalry. From beginning to end, these temporary soldiers in the mountains were unexpectedly tenacious!

Thousands of people were still resisting surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry, causing damage to more than 300 cavalry. They became angry and became angry. Mulihe ordered them to shoot all with bows and arrows before they stopped. This is definitely the case. It’s abnormal. Even true war mercenaries don’t have such a decisive will to fight. Unfortunately, when Mulihe realizes this, he has no life left. In this situation, Mulihe seems to smell something. The familiar breath is a method used by hunters on the grassland to catch wolves.

"It has been reported!" The rumored cavalry nodded respectfully

"This can only be done for the time being. Before your Majesty's main force arrives, tell the scouts in front of you, don't kill them all if you encounter them, just bite them!"

Mulihe took a deep breath and sent the cavalry behind him to wave his hand. Mulihe was also a man from General Wang Ting, so he couldn't tell. On the way, the strategy of the mountain army was obviously to avoid the imperial army. , It is impossible to resist the advance of the imperial army frontally. Rather than dispersing its forces and letting the imperial army defeat them one by one, they will retreat and gather their forces, and look for fighters to launch a fatal blow to the imperial army. It is unwise. Since it is impossible to fight head-on, it is also a customary tactic to paralyze the enemy with a superficial retreat

It’s just that no one knows that the mountain army will put the strongest explosion point there! An army of 60,000 to 70,000 people, if it is resisting the advance of the imperial army, or if it is not a threat, but if it is quietly lurking on the road that the imperial army is advancing, it is another matter. Up!

Mulihe has a feeling that he seems to be the way the other party is waiting for

Because he is all cavalry under his command, it is the largest cavalry group in the entire invading mountain province emperor’s army. If the opponent wants to use the distance difference between the emperor’s army to fight a decisive battle, then as long as It’s impossible for the other side to achieve this kind of deployment if his cavalry is still there, because the mountain province is a long and narrow waist-shaped belt with three to four hundred li in the north-south direction, but only about 100 li in the east-west direction. In the cavalry, Under the high maneuverability, the mountain army attacked any target. In the case of unfavorable attack, it may encounter the anti-cover-and-kill by the supported high-mobility imperial cavalry

"Which team is it?"

In the depths of the birch that a group of imperial rangers just passed by, a fierce and calm gaze was watching the smoke rising from the horseshoes of the cavalry, who was wearing a short-sleeved armor. The middle-aged man, behind him, is still standing densely with thousands of mountain soldiers wearing dark black short-sleeved armor like him. These imperial rangers, who are said to be from the steppes, really have a natural feeling for the woods. I heard that the evasive action is because the large woods on the grassland are often gathering places for wolves, and even these fierce grasslanders are unwilling to enter the territory of these carnivores.

According to the convention, it is really difficult to lurk a large number of people and horses in the woodland, because the animals in the woodland will be scared to run, which is equivalent to telling the other party that there is a problem, but this is the mountain province, and I have starved to death for two years. In the brutal winter of tens of thousands of people, the wolves, animals, and birds in the wild have long been the food in the stomachs of hungry people, and even the bark of the trees has been pulled down and turned into belly wraps. , It is said that cannibalism is already in some places,

"It’s already the seventeenth team, the idiot Kabu told him that he couldn’t light the fire at night, but he didn’t listen. As expected, these imperial rangers caught sight of him. Until now, I have seen a person coming back, look. The team at Kabu is completely finished!" A young man who resembled a middle-aged man replied, hesitating on his tired face

"Father, this time I brought the imperial cavalry to the Korla hills and confronted the imperial cavalry in the open hilly area. I don’t know what Master Katya thought. I wonder how strong the Gaul Northern Army was at the time. There are so many famous players, and no one will make such a crazy decision!"

"Master Katja has its own deployment, this is not a problem we need to consider, we only need to perform our own tasks!"

The eyes of the middle-aged people flashed with a trace of memory, sadly, the Gaul Northern Army, the most elite unit of the Gaul Empire, originally used 300,000 Northern Army to fight with the Imperial Army in Dalny, and finally was defeated by the Imperial Army. Strongly defeated, I suddenly thought of the Gaul wars in those years. It was like a world away. The powerful empire collapsed in a few years. Millions of troops were beaten across the fields, and there was also the noble class accumulated by Gaul for three hundred years. Coming down without a fight in Gaul-Kyoto, not only opened the gates of the Gaul Imperial Capital, which had been dominating the north for three hundred years, but also in order to show loyalty to the new master, gather crowds to attack the Gaul Palace, and fierce the past, like a strange monster. Extremely absurd drama!

"When the sun goes down, we will start!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand. The thirty teams are enough to prove the main identity of the opposing cavalry group. It is indeed absurd to face the imperial cavalry in the hilly land, but since Lord Algernon Katja has such an arrangement, Then there is such a certainty that time passed by, the golden sunset light began to cover the hills, dyeing every tree golden, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at the golden color that began to droop in the air. Under the sundial, at this moment, two hours have passed since the main cavalry force from Mulihe passed through here

"Hands!" The middle-aged man waved his hand dullly. Thousands of infantrymen hiding in the woods rushed out carrying various tools, most of which were shovel and nail prying tools for digging. There were also a large number of broomsticks. Under the command of the middle-aged people, these soldiers bought the horseshoe prints in the wilderness one by one, or covered them with soil. Soon, the cavalry under Mulihe ran past. The traces will be cleaned up seven or eighty-eight. If it is during the day, or some traces can be seen, but if it is at night, even if it is a torch, it may not be able to see anything

Thirty miles away, the Muli River looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance. In the coming daylight, countless armored infantrymen in the mountains rushed away like snow, a piece of sharp spears in the sunset Like a huge wave tossing, the army in the mountain province went crazy, and they followed such a vast wilderness to attack the imperial cavalry.

"Kill!"

Mulihe slowly raised his right hand, spit out a violent spit in his mouth, tens of thousands of imperial sharp riders, like a black line, began to violently move forward, and the horses hoof like mountains and seas moved heavy, like a line Dao's iron plough shattered the earth, slap! Snapped! Snapped! Broken grass clippings, as the horse's hoof rises, scattered in the wind, countless top helmet red tassels flutter in the wind, cold and snowy lances are laid down in a row~IndoMTL.com~The sunset line in the distance Illuminated obliquely, like a large red screen burning the earth infinitely spread out in front of everyone’s eyes, and the slightly hoarse voice is like a thunderous thunder

"Drawing a knife"

Xueliang scimitar was pulled out under the attention of tens of thousands of red eyes, like a **** chill rolling out, igniting the blood in the bodies of all the prairie cavalry, and the horses began to roll to the sides with the charging queue Disperse, like a huge arc extending indefinitely, and pounced towards the infantry in the mountain province in front. The sound of horseshoes was like rolling thunder in a heavy rain. The cavalry's full force pressed on, and the assault cut in as quickly as The hot red sharp knife was forcibly inserted into the butter, and they were cut across the infantry group in the mountain province. But soon, the sudden change in front of him made Mulihe look a little ugly, and only saw the imperial empire coming down. The cavalry ran well, and suddenly there was a lack of horseshoes. The whole horse slammed on the ground with inertia. The imperial cavalry above fell directly into the crowd of the army in the mountains, under the shadow of chaotic swords and guns, blood spattered away.

"Boom", another dozen imperial cavalry descended from the battle horses, like an invisible magic hand. At the same level, a whole row of imperial cavalry fell in unison, and the infantry in the mountains swarmed up. It flooded these imperial cavalry like a tide!

"Quickly, the whole army retreats, there is a problem with the ground here!" Mu Lihe took a breath of cold air with an iron face. At this time, I don’t know what’s going on. It’s really stupid. The other party was deliberately here. Fighting against such a densely grassed area is itself a big problem. Using the dense weeds on the wilderness to block the line of sight, there must be something unspeakable under the grasses, and what makes Mulihe feel a chill is far away. The sunset line at the place is disappearing, and the opponent’s grasp of time and location is enough to prove that this is a premeditated ambush circle (to be continued.)
