Power and Empire Chapter 2985: Cut off Yunkong (14)
The cold fog in the early morning, like a layer of meadows winding through the wilderness, the ground is moist and wet, as if it was pushed by, and it surrounds the cavalry of the Ninth Banner of the Muli River, already lying full of feet. With a thick layer of corpses, under the rising glow and dense clouds, the army of the mountain province, which had attacked three or four times last night, began to retreat slowly like a tide, but they did not withdraw, but used their forces. The advantage of the above is that at a distance of about three hundred meters, the ninth banner group is surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and they are staring at the side, which means not to stop eating the ninth banner
Taking advantage of this precious time, Mulihe arranged for an experienced scout captain to survey the surrounding environment
It is certain that the opponent moved his hands and feet in the grass, or the opponent thinks that as long as the cavalry's high mobility is limited, they can slaughter themselves, but the opponent did not expect that the ninth banner was composed of Kujites The archer’s cavalry was unable to charge, and the archer’s grassland bow made the army in the mountains pay a heavy price. The opponent was caught off guard, not only did not take advantage of it, but because the force was too scattered, it was the first place. Jiuqi’s archers shot to death one by one in the outlying areas, especially the wasteland area that was originally used to restrict the cavalry charge. It was full of the corpses of the army in the mountains. A conservative estimate is that there were at least three or four thousand in the mountains last night. The army was shot to death, and more people were injured.
Among the scaly grasses, pushing away the stacked human and horse corpses, completely disregarding the blood dripping, the ugly face of the Ninth Banner scout captain who is in charge of surveying the surroundings pushed out the blocking weeds, searching for the most need to know. After a while, his face looked ugly and he walked over and reported to Mulihe, "My lord, the enemy has indeed set up stumbling horses and a large number of triangular irons in the chaotic grass, covered with weeds. If you don’t look closer, Can’t tell at all"
"How many?" Mulihe frowned slightly
"The terrain is too wide for subordinates to judge, but subordinates can be sure that not only the front but also the back of us is the same. Normally, if the other party wants to use this method to live our lives If you are trapped here, the spreading range is at least 50 meters, so as to stop our cavalry from breaking the siege by force."
"More than fifty meters!"
Mulihe couldn't help but move his stern face when he heard this number. He looked up and down to the left and right. Shanzhong Xingsheng was crazy, and he wanted to trap himself to death with these things. At the beginning, when fighting in Gaul, the Gaul army would not play with these little tricks, and the triangle iron, a sharp weapon used to block the cavalry, although it is easy to use, it consumes a huge amount of iron, even if it is an emperor. Group operations will not spread such a range around oneself in all directions on such a scale,
But is the army in the mountain province too naive, thinking that if you spread these on all sides, you can trap yourself here?
My own ninth banner is the frontier army. In addition to trying to block the enemy’s main assault, the first responsibility of the frontier army is to quickly report the situation to the rear base camp. If you die, you will not be able to convey information, so what is the name of the frontier army!
According to experience, the opponent did not lead him to step into the trap last night, he had already missed a best combat opportunity
If you are the chief general of the mountain province, you will definitely attack with all your troops last night while your situation is still unknown, in order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, or you will really order the whole army to break through in one direction. Maybe, this is equivalent to plunge into the big net of triangle nails in front of you. The opponent only needs to steadily fight in a comprehensive encirclement, and then you can easily sack yourself. Unfortunately, the opponent was wasted and not only did not use all the troops. They were all pressed up, but after a few offensive failures, there was chaos, and I found a chance to kill once,
"Send a report to your Majesty to inform the location of the main force of the Shanzhong Province"
Mulihe raised his hand. The emperor’s military team usually uses specially trained homing pigeons for communications, but as a frontline army, they are also genuine Kujites, the Ninth Banner of Mulihe. The prairie red eagle is used. This eagle is not big in size, but it is extremely sturdy and has the status of a hegemon in the sky. The trained prairie red eagle is even more agile, so there is no need to worry about being caught in the middle of the road. The danger of interception by birds of prey, Mulihe believes that under this sky, there should be no natural enemies of the grassland red eagles
A small red dot flew up quickly and headed towards the sky
"Starting to ask for help, will that person really come?"
In the distant mountain army, wearing a red battle robe and a big red cloak, the whole person is like a young general with a golden head like a flame. He raised his head and looked at the red dot flying away, his eyes calm. He was scared of people. He was the Algernon Katja who was captured by the empire in the Southwestern War. Behind him, a dozen generals from the mountains and provinces looked solemn. The discouragement of no battle results, on the contrary, there was a decisive hostility from all over the body. The use of triangles to trap the imperial cavalry was originally just a stopgap. The biggest purpose was actually to give the imperial the largest cavalry maneuver into the mountain area. The cluster creates an illusion that the main force of the mountain province is here and wants to eat them. Only in this way can the high-mobility cavalry cluster be delayed here as much as possible
Now that the wings of the emperor have been exposed, this is the result that Algernon Katja has been demanding all the time
It is impossible to stop the emperor’s advancement in the mountains. Even if the main force in the mountains brought by Algernon Julia is still there, it will be the same result. This is no longer a matter of combat power, but because of the imperial side. There is an existence that makes them all want to give up resistance as long as they think about it. The imperial emperor, it only took a few years to go from a weak northwest barbarian, like a hurricane that wiped everything out across Europe. The falcon **** of war in the north-central region of Barrow, only if he has really fought with him will he know how irresistible this army **** emperor is
"Are you ready? "Algernon Katja retracted his gaze and looked at the generals behind him
"Master Katja joked. From the time the emperor entered the mountain, I knew that the success or failure of life and death was not important anymore. As a soldier of Gaul, I had already realized that, the emperor was watching me in the sky and waiting. , Please give me an order." A thin general smiled and said, and other generals also looked like this
The only reason for the destruction of Gaul is that the opposing army **** emperor is too fierce. Millions of Gaul troops were defeated and defeated in battles, even 200,000 troops. Kyoto, finally surrendered without a fight and opened the door by himself,
If it was in the past, no one would be bold enough to think about this, but people were forced to a dead end, that’s another matter,
Kill the emperor! Kill the Falcon Emperor!
This thought is like a huge whirlpool in the minds of the Gaul generals. It seems that just thinking about it makes these Gaul generals feel that all the grief and melancholy in the past two years have been relieved, regardless of Success or failure, this is all an explanation, an explanation to Gaul, an explanation to the former Gaul emperor, to encircle the Ninth Banner, to open the side of the imperial military advancement line, and to attract the troops around the imperial emperor to the maximum. The weakening of the forces around the imperial emperor, maybe this can be successful, maybe, once this idea comes out, it can’t be stopped
"General Ferron, here..."
Algernon Katja looked at a heavy-looking veteran behind him. In the past few years, the huge empire of that year has become history. This military star, who is known as one of the golden figures of the young generation of Gaul, is at this moment. On both sides of his dazzling golden head, there is a faint whiteness, giving him a somewhat frivolous appearance, but at this moment he has a sense of heaviness of years. Regarding the falcon empire that destroyed Gaul, Algernon Katya can be regarded as fighting from the beginning to the end, from the southwest to Dalny, to Gaul Kyoto, watching how many famous generals imperial generals were beheaded one by one by the northwest barbarians, watching the imperial mountains and rivers like mountains and rivers like Haiyan. Overthrown, even if he was once an arrogant empire star, he is already a man who has experienced the vicissitudes of the country.
"Master Katya can rest assured, I dare not say too much. Before the enemy reinforcements arrive, the other party will not see that our troops have been transferred. Even if the enemy reinforcements arrive, I will fight desperately to attract the enemy’s attention. "The veteran named Ferron did not wait for Algernon Katja to finish, and immediately replied respectfully,
He was left to lead some troops to contain him, not because he didn’t want to survive this decisive battle, but because someone had to stay. The other generals were younger than him. This time he raided the rear of the emperor’s army. For physical strength is a serious test, Ferron is still old after all
During the war between the empire and Gaul, all three of Ferron’s sons died in the hands of the emperor. Because of this, Ferron did not choose to surrender to the emperor in Kyoto like other nobles, but took All the belongings and slaves went to the mountain province, and donated all the property to Algernon Katja for no charge to raise arms. As Algernon Katja went to raid the imperial emperor, even if it failed, it was historically A strong stroke, and like Ferron left as a check, it will inevitably die after the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, I am afraid that there will not even be a name in history!
"So please, please"
Algernon Katja’s gaze with a trace of admiration, raised his hand and paid a grand salute to the veteran Fei Long. Then he waved his hand to the troops behind him and rode away. The other generals were also the same. The salutes of Ferron who have always stayed, not to mention any mobilization, followed by the sound of horses hoofs of the three thousand most loyal Gaul Janissaries cavalry, like a gust of wind, leaving behind invisible dust. A piece of wilderness slowly opened the prelude to the earth. If this sky really belongs to the Falcon Empire, then let this powerful blow that cuts through the sky, as the last swan song of the Gaul Guards.
Boom!
The sound of huge horseshoes moved from far to near. Three hours later, the noon sun had begun to become very venomous. Behind the mountain army that was trapped in the Ninth Banner, groups of dense cavalry queues began to emerge. , From a distance, it looks like a black line that suddenly appeared in the hilly area and pushed it over here
"Attention, imperial reinforcements are coming!"
The army in the mountains is in chaos, countless people and horses are clamoring, and the blades are flashing. Although I know that the arrival of the imperial reinforcements will not be past noon, I did not expect that the enemy will arrive so quickly, and the traces have been eliminated. Quickly touch it, it really deserves to be the Falcon Army! The veteran Feilong said to himself with a solemn expression. In order to deal with the attack of the emperor, in addition to the large grass that can be laid in this area, there is also an undulating hills, tidal flats and wasteland that are crossed by the river. , Short-footed wooden stakes with spikes
"My lord, it's the ninth banner!"
An officer from the North Army Corps raised his whip and pointed at the Imperial Flag in the distance~IndoMTL.com~Blant Bonnie’s pupils shrank, and he looked at the situation of the Ninth Banner and saw the exchange. The corpse of the mountain army on the front finally breathed a sigh of relief immediately. Fortunately, it seems that the main force of the mountain province did not get any benefits. Although the Ninth Banner is trapped, the situation does not seem to be the same. As bad as expected,
"Ready to fight! Burrant Bonnie raised her hand, and the cavalry behind her began to spread out to the two wings with a rigorous battle lineup. The three thousand cavalrymen of the North African Army headquarters were like a huge spur and began to gather. As they lean towards the center are the more messy bloodblade cavalry. These troops that originally belonged to the bloodblade group are not very good in combat, but they are all extremely fast light cavalry. They are just right as the main support. The poor bloodblade cavalry corresponded to the Yanzhou heavy cavalry of Bai Wufeng on the right side of Burrant Bonnie.
These Yanzhou cavalry, who are re-worn in heavy armor, are equipped with scale armor made in the style of Zhongbia. From the inner ring buckle to the outer tube armor, they are like pillars surrounded by steel. Holding a heavy sword with a length of nearly two meters, it can almost fall to the ground. It is just a look at it. There is a hostility to face the inhuman existence. It cost countless times in the Central and Bahia Empire. The human and material resources were constructed to crush the northern grasslands. The Yanzhou Heavy Cavalry, which the grassland people dared not go south for more than a hundred years, finally reappeared.
"Go forward!"
The imperial messenger was galloping between the teams, a red cloak flew slowly behind them, like the tail of a meteor flying across the sky, and the loud commands resounded through the earth, consisting of two cavalry from east and west. With the huge front wing, the imperial cavalry in the middle began to rush forward like combing, and in the straightest way straight into the ground where the army gathered in the mountains ahead (to be continued.)
