Power and Empire Chapter 1287: Scarlet Silver Sparrow (9)
I got used to pumping and pumping, and I was pumped hundreds of times. The format was not included for now~~~
Yinque Hill is named after the large undulating terrain and there are silver ques living in groups. The overall topography of Yinque Hill is like a continuous undulating basin, and the hilly undulating hills are like a layer Layers of turbulent waves, under the squeeze of the earth, they look toward the north, extending to the edge of the silver bird hill. The undulating woodland, and some low cliffs full of holes are the silver bird's best Favorite environment
For the natural creatures living here, Silver Bird Hill is a very pleasant and peaceful place. If it is a sunny day, the bright sun shines through the shade of the trees, the sky is so pure, the sun is so The splendid and cheerful silver bird flocks are like a fairy tale, passing across the sky of Yinque Hill, and finally perches on the hibernating cliff of Yinque Hill. Even in winter, the trees on the hills are still very lush, with thick colors outside the undulating embankment. The structure is distinct, which forms a good contrast with the bright grassland between the undulating hills.
If it is a rainy night, the rustling of raindrops on the leaves is enough to touch a moist intoxication. Such a place is a beauty that can't help but be intoxicated for any creature in nature. ,
But for Riposti, who is standing on the side of the road in Yinque Hill, the life and death of the two soldiers will also be settled on this rainy night tonight. His sturdy body stands on a high place, letting the rain drop. It hit the body and flowed down the smooth armor to the ground, surrounded by raindrops hitting the rushing sound of the bushes in the forest. Reposti looked at the sky and the rain was obviously smaller than before.
The lightning above the head still flashed one by one, the silver light chaotically across the sky, and also made the scene below light up from time to time for a few seconds, then plunge into darkness, and then light up again,
From where Reposti is, it can be clearly seen that on the route of the slowly evacuating expeditionary force, the Norman pursuit troops pressed up from behind almost without hesitation, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes spread from the opposite side of the mountain. Come, in the rainy night, it is like the sound of countless huge waves hitting the cliff wall and being smashed. With the loud noise, countless black armored cavalrymen crashed under the light brought by lightning. The dam flooded out from the mountain pass, densely like a black cloud rushing in
"It seems that your temporary change plan is right!"
The sight under the lightning caused the deputy commander Jaglins to take a deep breath next to him, with a solemn expression on his face, saying, "If we carry out a full-scale battle in Silver Bird Hill according to the previous plan, it is very likely that we There is no chance to retreat to Silver Sparrow Mountain. From the movement of the Norman cavalry who have swarmed into the mountain pass, it can be seen that although there are less than half of the Norman cavalry entering now, they have begun to disperse to the two wings. Obviously, it is waiting until the main force has all passed through the narrow entrance, and then launched a full-scale siege attack on the previous target. Even if the exhausted expeditionary force is tenacious, it will inevitably be a dead end in such a situation!"
"Hehe, this is probably God's blessing." Reposti smiled bitterly. "If it weren't for you to temporarily change and evacuate from Baiqiu, I'm afraid or can't think of this level, although I never believe in fate , But tonight’s victory, but the gift God gave us, without this rain, without this darkness, tens of thousands of troops, actually set up ambush in this kind of bush with only the waist height, I am afraid that no one will say it. I will believe it!"
"So, this time we will win!" Yaglins nodded deeply in agreement, and said hesitantly, "It's just that the troops who served as the blockers have suffered a lot of losses! Anyway, they are just some who haven't been The recruits on the battlefield have neither experienced brutal battles nor experience fighting against enemy cavalry groups. To be honest, if they hadn't been so determined, I would never agree. Even so, I am still a little worried. , Once our army fully attacks, how many of the decoy troops in front of the Normandy cavalry can survive!"
"Since they have chosen to become a soldier in the Empire, this is a lesson they must learn!" Rigisti's eyes flashed with an inexplicable gleam, and he snorted heavily and said, "You and I are not the nanny of the expeditionary army. The expeditionary army didn’t come here for sightseeing either,
Although they have the conditions to be excellent fighters, they are brave, tough, bloody, and brave to sacrifice, but they lack one thing. That is the soul of the imperial army. Only the real cruel battlefield can make them feel The blood and courage are completely released, allowing them to truly find their own army soul. They are the avengers of their own people and the conquerors of the empire. They must learn that there is no victory without sacrifice! "
"Just.
. . Isn't this too cruel! "Jaglins said with an ugly expression
"Are you cruel?" Reposti gave him a meaningful look before saying, "Rather than wait until they are in the real life and death battle before discovering their own fatal weakness, it is better to let them be in this tragic, but It is only the training that should be given in the forward battle. Only the troops that dare to face the blood and sacrifice are the real soldiers that the empire needs, and are qualified to face the main Normans behind, not a semi-finished product!"
" ordered the teams to prepare for an attack. This time, I want to crush them completely! "On the mountain road below, seeing that the team behind has completely entered the mountain pass, Hei Scorpion Zhimu began to order the teams to form.
He strangled the irritable war horse with his hand, his gaze swept across the darkness in front of him, then raised his head to look at the sky, lightning flashed across, illuminating his face, and making his chilling triangular eyes. Squinted into a line,
I don’t know why. He always feels that tonight’s rainy night has a strange coldness, or that the thunder and lightning above his head are so frequent that it makes him feel a little upset. This feeling is like a kind of inner heart. Depressed and aggrieved, I urgently need to vent it,
With the same number of cavalry, against the same number of infantry, they have been entangled for more than an hour. For Zhimu who has always been arrogant, such a record is not a victory worth celebrating.
And what made him most unbearable was that he realized that in his heart, he actually had a kind of admiration for those lowly and cowardly Salanders. To some extent, he also had to admit, these The performance of the Salanders is absolutely worthy of the title of warrior!
And this feeling is not only on him, but on all the Normandy soldiers who are fighting tonight,
If it were before, the Norman cavalry would have rushed up in a swarm, chopped up all these exhausted Salanders, killed them all, and then cut off their heads and stringed them in front of the horse as a capital of show off,
But now, all the Normandy cavalry have chosen to be silent. They stopped their horses in a row and expelled a huge impact fan. The Normandy cavalry riding on the war horse focused on using a complicated gaze to look at the front. In the distance, the Salander still standing in the mud,
These Salanders have all been wounded, and some even have difficulty standing, but they support each other and use all their strength to support their bodies. The heavy rain and mud make them like a frozen statue. No one panicked and chose to escape, and no one chose to kneel on the ground timidly to beg for mercy. They just stood like this, waiting for the Norman cavalry with their eyes and broken weapons
"Is this still a human?"
The Norman Cavalry’s eyes surged, not only the bloodthirsty killing, but also the existence of something called respect. These humble and cowardly Salanders in their hearts, at this moment, behaved more like a one Warriors
"Prepare for a flat line attack! Leave no one!" The captains of the Normandy cavalry raised their weapons and shouted to the men who had lined up.
"brushing" in the sound of the metal collision, the Normandy cavalry's long spears began to be erected in a row. A Normandy cavalry hesitated for a moment, and the moment his spear was erected, his long spear tapped down slightly. His move attracted the attention of many Norman cavalry. For a while, some low voices remembered that a strange atmosphere spread in the Norman cavalry queue
"Harrison, what are you doing!"
A Normandy cavalry captain ran over in despair, hit the soldier's armor with his whip, and whispered in his mouth, "You are paying a warrior's gift to these cowardly Salanders." Is it?"
" My lord, there are only enemies in my eyes, no Salanders!" The Norman cavalry responded with a serious look, "Or they may be Salanders, but now they are the enemies we need to do our best. , This is worthy of such courtesy!"
"You will be severely punished for this!"
The Normandy Cavalry Captain cursed angrily. At this time, the order for a full-scale attack from above was also issued. The entire queue began to move forward. The Normandy Cavalry Captain did not dare to delay, and hurried back to the leftmost side of the queue where he should be. , Because once a full charge is launched, the entire queue will follow him,
"Go ahead, crush them!" The howling of the Normandy cavalry came like a tide,
In the darkness not far away, a ray of light that would never appear penetrated the black night sky. It was a red spot of light. The torch penetrated by crude oil still burned even in the rain. It was very bright, raindrops hit it, making a light pop, and the person who raised the torch was Riposti
"Look, what is that?"
A Normandy cavalry on the move pointed at the distant fire and said
" It should be a torch!" His companion replied a little dissatisfied, but soon his mouth that had not been completely closed was stiff, and there were countless circles in the spot where the fire appeared. Shaped light spots, like stars rising up in the sky, rolled down from the heights of the hills on both sides, with light **** like hell, smashing heavily on the densely arranged positions in front of the line,
"Attention, there is an ambush!"
The former Normandy team shouted in exclamation, and suddenly became a mess. In a short time, the fireballs that rolled down from both sides rolled all the way down from the heights, and finally fell apart in the violent impact. The broken sparks contaminated dozens of cavalry nearby,
The monster flames quickly ignited from the place where they were contaminated, lighting up the people and horses into fireballs, and let out a stern and terrible cry, and the ignited war horses sprinted everywhere. , The entire queue is completely disrupted,
"This...
How can 口! "Zhimu, who is in the back team, was completely silly looking at the fireballs rolling down on both sides. He severely pinched his big lap. He couldn't figure out how these fireballs were in such a majestic rain. How was it ignited?
Okay, even if it’s barely ignited, why is it still burning so violently? Even if the rain falls on it, it doesn’t mean to stop at all. Instead, it expands rapidly, cutting my cavalry into several pieces.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Zhimu really would like to slap himself and wake himself up early from this nightmare. The blazing fire shone on his face full of horror, and the raindrops hit him with biting coldness. On his cheeks, both cold and hot reminded him that this is not a dream, this is the real battlefield,
All this changed so fast, completely out of his common sense. Just this time, hundreds of fireballs with long smoke tails added up to more than a thousand people in the front team and squadron of his cavalry. The Normandy cavalry were all shrouded in a ball of fire, causing fire and explosion like a huge aperture, spreading the gorgeous petals of death on the earth, everything was dreamlike, but extremely tragic, my entire front team Completely messed up,
" Hurry up and order the front team to withdraw!" Zhimu shouted loudly to the messenger cavalry behind him, but his shouting had not been finished yet. I saw that at the top of the hill where the fireball fell, countless figures were like It came out like magic,
"Kill!" Tens of thousands of expeditionary army archers ambushing on both sides stood up neatly, countless cold lights were like rainstorms pouring down from the flat lines of the hills on both sides, and the light spots covered the sky of the long narrow mountain road. In the burning flames, the position of the Norman cavalry was already clear at a glance. Under the fierce blow of the archers, the Norman cavalry panicked in the fire, like hitting an invisible giant scythe, one after another. Fall off immediately,
"ah"
The war horse in the middle of the arrow threw the cavalry above it painfully. The powerful impact of the crossbow arrow made the war horse running around uncontrollably. The Norman cavalry tumbling on the ground was trampled by chaotic horseshoes. The Normandy cavalry, who was smashed into pieces and caught off guard, was like harvested wheatgrass. The sound of arrows falling down and the strong bowstrings vibrated, even shaking the entire space.
It’s a weird feeling. It’s like the air is boiling at this moment. If it’s not for personal experience, it’s hard to imagine the trembling and tearing of tens of thousands of bowstrings at the same time. How shocking it is. Metal meteors gleamed with chilling light in the air, and then turned into a howling rain of death. Often just as the Norman cavalry in front had fallen off their horses, the crossbow arrows that fell all over the sky fell from the heads of many fallen and wounded Norman cavalry. These Norman cavalry, who have not died yet, or are glad they have escaped, shot alive into hedgehogs full of arrows,
"Help!" The screams and screams of the wounded soldiers, who are in the flames and blood, often turn into a chilling silence at this moment. The corpses all over the floor are soaked in the rain and slipped into the mud. , The bright red human blood dyes all the mud and mud on the ground into a color,
"Come on, rush up if you don't want to die!"
In a panic, surrounded by flames in front and back, some Normandy cavalry began to charge blindly to the low hills on both sides. They were greeted by the iron-headed giant over a meter long shot by the ballista. Arrows, crossbow arrows made of pure metal, made these Normandy cavalry like a gourd, flying directly from the battle horse, rolling down to the ground behind, the huge arrow with the cavalry's body deeply inserted into the ground,
Under the scouring of heavy rain, countless small streams of red water flow along the gully between the soil,
"Encircle! Don't leave one!" Reposti snorted, looking at the battlefield coldly. He had already felt that the ten thousand Norman forward cavalry had been crucified here by himself.
As the torch was raised again, the main force of the expedition on both sides began to compress in the middle, "killing" countless expeditionary soldiers jumped out from both sides, everywhere was filled with terrible shock waves, dense forest-like long guns and The arrow blasted fiercely once again on the desperate Normandy cavalry, like waves slapped on the hard rock wall, turning into splashes of scary red, "pupupupu" the sound of the spear pierced into the body and the bones were broken. The rain drops one after another, this is the waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing.
The motivated expeditionary army unreservedly pressed on, compared with the completely helpless Norman cavalry. The dense spear formation will stab to death the Norman cavalry in a semi-panic state.
The mass deaths of the main force made Zhimu of the rear team see blood in his eyes, but there was no way. He had never encountered such an aggrieved one. He looked at the corpses of his subordinates, layer after layer. The road ahead is full~IndoMTL.com~The blood gurgled into a creek, but all I can do is regret and curse here,
But this is war. Under the full ambush of the opponent, except for the rear team, thousands of cavalry, the other 6,000 people are basically trapped. If reinforcements are forced, none of them will survive.
"My lord, the front team and the squadron have been wiped out, please evacuate immediately"
The captain of the Normandy cavalry guard, who was covered in blood, rushed over. He was lying on the pile of dead people and pretending to be dead. He crawled all the way without paying attention, so there was no one. Noticing him, even if it weren’t for him to report his name, Zhimu wouldn’t recognize him
"Do you just give up like this?"
The straight eyes flashed in a daze. In the ring of fire in the distance, broken limbs and debris abound, bright red blood infiltrated the soil, and a dense ring of fire, large and small, was still burning. The corpses piled up like a mountain, the dagger spears stuck on the battlefield, the broken spears and epees were everywhere, the human and horse corpses piled up like a mountain, and the black enemies were pouring here like a tide.
"My lord, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" The captain of the guard made him recover from the trance,
Zhimu glanced at the skeletal battlefield for the last time, closed his eyes tightly, and shouted angrily, "Everyone follow me, get out of the mountain road!"
