Power and Empire Chapter 3844: The death knell of Aden (18)
The battle train progressed steadily and orderly, and the burst of cold light began to lift up the entire row, the first in the line, the star and moon flags raised behind the armor of the Captains of Aden
In the wilderness under the autumn rain, on both sides of a huge ring of rivers, there are spots of iron armor and clanks. When looking down, there are almost dense crowds of people moving, and you can't see your head at a glance. The darkness and light of thunder and lightning alternately interweave together. It was like a crowded ocean, a strong attack by the Aden army, and a crazy archery by the imperial cavalry. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Every moment, there were countless clusters of arrows flying over the field, and there were people weighing down from their horses. , Washed away by the turbulent river channel
People screamed and screamed, screaming everywhere,
"Forward, Closer" The Aden infantry in heavy armor is walking in waist-deep river water, with a semicircular tower shield inlaid on the armor in his left hand, and a low-hanging lancet in his right hand. , The number of people is densely packed, the black is pressed together, and the wear is also different. One side of the triangle flag representing unknown meaning is fluttering in the wind. From a distance, it looks like a sea of flags
"Bowstring opening" is filled with shouts in the wind, and the Aden bows that are stretched to the full point neatly point to the sky. The general archer's bowstring is fully stretched, loosened, fully stretched again, and then loosened, generally continuously. After three full bowstrings, you need to stop for a few seconds to breathe. However, the Dongting people obviously have special points. The grassland bow of the Dongting archer is shorter than the bows of other arms, but it also provides a faster shooting speed.
"Beng! Beng! Beng!"
Hundreds of Aden archers violently let go of their bowstrings at the same time, and the arrows flew into the sky in dense clusters. At the apex of the sky, they began to descend like a rainstorm, but there was still a considerable distance from the target. It is impossible to shoot the imperial cavalry without crossing the river. This kind of shooting is more of a boost to the morale of the army. It is completely a psychological effect. It is like saying that we will cover you with bows and arrows. Let's charge!
In the absence of the archers, a large number of Aden cavalry drove into the river.
The armored Aden Cavalry will pass through the river like a bulldozer. The sharp arrows of the Imperial Archers shoot into the Aden Cavalry’s armor and hit the Aden Cavalry’s shield. The Aden Cavalry still has a few arrows in them. Pushing forward unwaveringly, the cavalry of the Second Army of Aden is already a half-armored cavalry. Although the arrow clusters of the Imperial Archers can be shot at a distance of 100 meters, the penetration depth is not enough, and many Aden cavalry are full. After the arrow clusters, they were still jumping alive, the arrows rang sharply, swarming with determination, blood splattered, and countless blood exploded at the front end of the cavalry impact line
"Forward! Forward!"
The torrent of steel formed by the Aden cavalry clusters, like wolves and tigers, moved forward violently, like a sharp Aden scimitar, with their crazy fighting spirit, showing an indestructible offensive. Countless war horses are being cut off, countless sounds of fighting, countless shadows of swords and swords, and bursts of metal sounds made by the slight firing of a leaf
The people of Aden are very powerful. They can still maintain such a momentum after chasing here from the Gulf of Aden. Yes, yes, a proper elite team of Aden!
The cold rain hit his face, and Brother Shu, the commander of the Third Imperial Guard Banner, muttered to himself, licking the rain water flowing from his cheek. It was salty and lighter than human blood. Seeing the opposite side, it was like a thread rolling. Lang is about to struggle out of the Aden army from the position of the river, Shu Ge pulls out his saber, the corner of his mouth is only slightly upturned, and the entire row of imperial archers along the line turned their heads together at this moment and stopped fighting with you
"What's the situation?"
"Ah ah ah ah"
"Escaped, the empires escaped?" Someone made a stern voice, as if being stabbed by someone
The soldiers of Aden were stunned. Their bodies were still soaking in the water. They were cold and bitter. What they saw was the horse **** of the imperial cavalry who was turning in the front line. I have to say that the **** of the imperial horse was really fat, and they all said that the imperial army was treated well. , It seems that it should be true, but is this a bit cool? No, I was stunned. The performance of the imperial cavalry made them completely at a loss
What kind of situation is this? Is there any glory of being a soldier? The only thing that doesn’t look at the target is that the ranged arrow is applied to the opposite face, and then it is very tacitly thrown into the cluster of arrows, still The Aden people dangling in the river channel with a stunned face looked like a horse ass. If they didn’t know the weapons in their hands, even if they were thrown out, they would not be able to beat the escaped imperial cavalry. The soldiers of Aden might really throw the weapons in their hands and smash them to death. A **** who runs away, you are shameless when you are an old man. You want to run without paying!
Of course, the imperial archers have made it clear that they are in vain, and they don’t care about their feelings, but in a blink of an eye, the imperial archers have already begun to turn their heads and run, and some even deliberately hit the unknown in the direction of the Adenites. Gestures,
The mysterious tacit understanding of the imperial archers is like having a psychological sense. To put it bluntly, it comes from the tacit understanding of the same Dongting race. The prairie people use hunting to forge tactics. What kind of hunting queue is basically It represents what kind of tactics, so the prairie cavalry can still cooperate tacitly without instructions.
Actually, the combat order was issued at the moment the combat formation was issued.
Encircle, pursue, strangle, besieged, dragged to death, various formations correspond to various orders,
At the moment when Shu Ge issued a formation that could escape at any time, all the archers understood the command of their commander.
The target entered eighty meters ahead, and all the imperial archers seemed to have heard a silent command, neatly put down the grassland compound bow in their hands, turned the horse's head, and did not even need a command, and ran with horseshoes, eighty meters. , Is the firing range of the Aden bow. At the upper end of the river, the densely packed Aden infantry has reached the middle of the river. At the lower end of the river, an astonishing number of Aden light infantry has even landed ashore
The three-line encirclement, the Aden people’s military literacy is not bad, even if they are separated by a certain distance, Shu Ge can feel the heavy breathing of the Aden people huffing around here
Don't run, waiting to be rubbed on the ground by the people of Aden?
One thing the people of Aden don’t understand is that the nomadic warriors don’t pay attention to the honor of a warrior, and they don’t have the awareness of an upright battle. If they win, they will fight, and if they fail, they will run. The kingdom of Aden rises. The Gulf of Aden area is a typical coastal inland belt, with the coastline to the south, the waist-like Gulf of Aden to the east, the blue sea and blue sky, and the pleasant scenery. To the north is the thousand-mile desert like a natural barrier. The rise of the Kingdom of Aden has never been met. Have been to nomads,
The one that ran with the Five Thousand Empire Bow Ride is called a fast one, and it is sparsely reduced by half in the blink of an eye.
What makes the people of Aden feel that their foreheads are about to explode. It is these imperial archers who are running and shooting arrows at this side. The sound of bowstrings trembling and falling from the air with the cold rain. Arrow, shameless! Although it did not cause much damage, the imperial cavalry's approach was more like a provocation. The waves were so high that they almost shouted, chase me, and give it to you if they chase me! Why is it so outstanding!
"Asshole!" Ramdorak's body on horseback swayed. It was angry. He almost planted from the horse. If he fell, he might become the only one in the history of the Kingdom of Aden. A model who had been seriously injured before the war started. It was said that the battle was good, and the army was said to die. How did it run away! You have been tricked!
"Damn, don't run if there is a kind!"
Ram Dorek’s nose is almost crooked, the boss with bulging eyes, his fingers clenched vigorously, his nose suddenly gets bigger and smaller, loud commands, no matter how patient, you can face this kind of enemy without a warrior awareness. When it broke out, Ram Dorek had imagined all kinds of **** battles with the imperial army, but without this, Lao Tzu rushed from the capital of Aden for several days, sleepless, eyes red like a rabbit, just to see Your horse ass? Didn’t it mean that the imperial soldiers never retreated and I was invincible? Didn’t it mean that the imperial cavalry swept through the 700,000 coalition forces in South Oubaro in the North-South War, like a storm, invincible, the invasion of South Oubaro, defeated Fazer and defeated Martin? Li Ya, he repeatedly abused his opponents with inferior forces, and he was the number one elite in the mainland who frightened all soldiers of this era. Then at this moment, the horse **** who flees in front of his eyes, the five scum of fighting is what!
"Everyone, catch up, don't let the empires run away!" The Herald Cavalry shouted all the way frantically, and the Aden Cavalry who had just stepped on the river bank looked in the direction of the Herald Cavalry.
"It seems to order a chase?"
‘Yes, it’s an order to pursue! "The two captains of the Aden cavalry looked at each other. The imperial cavalry fled without a fight. It was like a shot of stimulant hitting the Aden cavalry. The adrenal glands surged. The duck that had reached its mouth must not be allowed to fly away. The imperial cavalry had only Five thousand people, do we have ten thousand? What is terrible about us,
"Everyone heard it, chase, chase across the board!" The Aden Cavalry Captain said to the men behind him. The soldiers looked tired and did not respond much. They are infantry. How can I chase the cavalry? After crossing a river, the whole body was drenched, and the steps were heavy. Some soldiers were taking off their shoes, turning their shoes upside down and pouring water out. If they were lightly armed infantry, it would be fine. They were armored infantry, although not heavy armor. But there are also more than ten kilograms. After getting the water with the inner clothes, the weight reaches more than twenty kilograms. It is wet, heavy, cold, and the shield and weapons in the hand.
The so-called army charge is that all of a sudden, in order to rush across the river channel as soon as possible, the energy has been consumed seven or eighty eight, who is running!
A loud trombone sounded from the side, and I saw a group of Aden cavalry rushing out of the cavalry formation that was still in line like an iron tower. The cavalry that came running made all the Aden cavalry take a breath. Air-conditioning, I saw a long horse visor attached to the horse head of these cavalry. The thick body was like a thick hill. The body was unusually strong, and the full vest was draped. The cavalry above was also covered with heavy armor.
The crowd in Aden burst into cheers.
"It's Lord Salmondeo!"
"My God, Lord Salmondeo has crossed the river!"
Yes, what excites the whole army of Aden is the heavy cavalry team known as the battlefield meat grinder, but this heavy armored cavalry is from Aden, and the top of each heavy armored cavalry helmet is marked with this crescent moon mark. , And then a long streamer floated from below the crescent moon, adding a bit of alien beauty to the embarrassing appearance of the heavy cavalry
The advance of the heavy armored cavalry is just this neatly forward queue, it is already a landslide, and it is completely impossible to resist the mind. In front of such a battlefield sweeper, as long as it is a normal person, All are fleeing! The combat effectiveness of these heavy armored cavalry in Aden is not yet known, but their appearance is absolutely top-notch. They are just a posture, like a giant beast trampling on the ground, and their uniform movements form an inclined surface similar to an indentation. , They are the tanks of this era,
In the front of these heavy cavalry, there is a middle-aged officer wearing a red pointed helmet. His figure is as tall as a sword. The armor is even brighter in the rain, and blue ribbons fall from his head. On horseback, there are simple and clear lines, but there is a razor-like death. His name is Salmondio, the deputy guard of the Royal Guard of Aden, and a famous warrior in the Aden Army. He has won Aden for three consecutive times. The champion of the combat skill competition is known as the first man in Aden’s combat power, but he alone is enough to make the people of Aden full of confidence
"The heavy cavalry of Lord Salmondeo has gone up, why are we still hesitating here!
Since the Empire’s war between the North and the South, it has demonstrated the strength of the heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield. The heavy armored cavalry already exists like a pinnacle, and the heavy armored cavalry costs a lot. Both the horse and the soldiers are one in a hundred, even if it is. The entire empire has only five thousand heavy cavalry. This is because the empire has a large number of nomadic elite cavalry and occupies a large number of excellent horse farms.
The Kingdom of Aden has long been planning to promote the empire. Naturally, it pays more attention to the heavy armored cavalry, which is the iconic unit of the empire. It also has a secret mindset. The kingdom of Aden cannot support the heavy armored cavalry of the size of the empire, three to five hundred weights. The armored cavalry is still well-equipped. In fact, in the parade to be held in the capital of Aden for the promotion of the empire, the Aden military has already deliberately displayed a powerful force that is not weaker than that of the empire. In the huge parade of the promotion to the empire, there is no How can heavy cavalry work! The heavy armored cavalry must have, and the equipment must not be weaker than the imperial heavy armored cavalry. This represents the display of Aden’s strength, the face of Aden, and it is a shock to the surrounding vassal forces
As the final unit of this military parade, a heavy-armored cavalry team that has gone through actual combat and defeated the elite cavalry of the empire, it is absolutely impossible for a vase with no record to be more shocking! In this way, three hundred Aden heavy cavalry went south with the Aden Second Army, and today they will test their swords with imperial cavalry!
"Go forward, kill! The heavy armored cavalry group of Aden didn't mean to stop at all. The horseshoe rumbling, the ground trembled violently, and the offensive was like a fierce dark tide rolling towards the direction of the imperial cavalry escape
"Follow Lord Samdio!" The other armies in Aden saw their heavy cavalry crossing the river, and they boiled. The imperial army, which was completely unbearable for World War I, represented the strongest combat force in the Kingdom of Aden. The heavy armored cavalry, crushed, shredded, and the rest is just chasing. The Aden Cavalry’s eyes flickered, and there was a commotion. All the hesitation was gone. There were heavy armored cavalry, and I was afraid that the imperial cavalry would overturn. There is no big wave. The Aden army swarming forward has long been indifferent to the formation. The cavalry is undoubtedly the fastest, then the light armored assault infantry, and finally the armored infantry. Invisible, it is 20,000 yuan. The four thousand Aden army has been pulled into three parts
During a fight, if there are many more people on the other side than you, what should I do?
Run away, shameless!
It can even be said to be an excellent tactic. No one can fight a hundred one by one. There is a limit to one’s physical strength. One run, as long as you run, everyone is on an equal line, dragging the opponents apart, dragging down the small groups of enemies, and cleaning up one by one when the opponent's energy is exhausted! Miyamoto Musashi called this the art of war, but it was actually a shame! This requires one to hit a hundred, and one person will cut Miyamoto Musashi into scum
Of course, Brother Shu doesn’t know this, but it doesn’t affect the way Shu’s fighting is. The prairie people’s fighting method is guerrilla warfare. Dongting archers are among the best. The archers were also crushed by the Xiting cavalry. The five thousand escaping imperial archers seemed to run away, but in fact they did not use their full horsepower at all.
Two hundred meters! One hundred meters! Fifty meters!
In the rain, the distance between the two armies is approaching, and the white gas of the horse's snort is so clear that you can see the blood stains on the Aden Cavalry's stabbing gun, muddy water splashing, and the scattered arcs formed by thousands of armored cavalry. The surface has been expanded to hundreds of meters in width
"Catch up!" The Aden Cavalry shouted~IndoMTL.com~Suddenly countless clusters of arrows were shot towards you,
The Aden Cavalry Commander tearfully shouted "Attention," the cold light has rapidly expanded in the Aden Cavalry's pupils
Puff! puff! puff! Angry arrows are like locusts. Even the Aden cavalry wearing armor, they are still rolling under the armored heavy arrows at close range. The specially processed triangular heavy arrows are slapped like a whip like a hurricane. On the Aden cavalry, with a howling sound, plunged into the weak part of the armor.
"Ah," the blood splattered and the screams kept
An Aden Cavalry was a little higher because of the slightly raised angle of the shield. An arrow cluster fell from a strange angle, deeply piercing the scales of his knee, and the cavalry half bends down in pain. Several clusters of arrows shot in from his weakly armored back when he bent down, puff! puff! "A **** arrow penetrated through the front of the cavalryman's chest, and the cavalryman was quickly pierced into a **** hedgehog by the fallen arrows
The dead-eyed corpse rolled off the horse back straight like this, and quickly disappeared into the rainy night
Nine Heavens God Emperor
