Power and Empire Chapter 1302: The Sword of Empire (5)
1302 Sword of the Empire (5)
The night breeze swept across the field, the wind blew the grass, and made a low whimper. With a rumbling and violent muffled thunder, lightning flashed across the ink-colored sky, illuminating the ground below, and the white rain line fell from the boundless height. Hit in the muddy soil,
Van Lun Tien, commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, stopped the advancing horses in an open field. His bloodshot eyes swept across the front of the road. Amidst the white rain, the black cavalry team was divided into several parts. I approached quickly towards the high ground in two directions,
Each team is like a long black dragon, with clanging iron hoofs and booming. The rain hits the cavalry. The black armor shimmers with a gloomy luster. The cavalry regiments galloping in the rain are very spectacular.
In the distance, a small black spot that was approaching quickly made Van Luntieen's dazed eyes light up.
"My lord!" The scout cavalry jumped off the horse, ignored the mud on the ground, knelt down on one knee in front of Van Luntien, and reported that "Our army has found a target, approaching towards the river beach, in formation. Disperse, dragged to a length of nearly five miles! Visually, the force is about five thousand people,"
"Really, are there other targets near the target!" Upon hearing this report, Van Lentien looked excited and grabbed the reins of the horse,
"Not for the time being, because it is impossible to pass the river, so no more accurate information can be obtained" the scout responded
"Okay, I see! Keep paying close attention!" Van Lun Tien nodded, and the scout rode away.
"My lord, do we need to attack right away?" Several Falcon cavalry officers who followed him came up nervously
"Not in a hurry" Van Luntien waved his hand to the officers. "We destroyed the only passable bridge on the river. No matter how fast the other side is, it is impossible for the army to cross over twenty meters wide at once. So they will inevitably build a pontoon bridge, which is enough to delay their time for a few hours. We just need to wait quietly and recharge our energy, and wait until the opponent’s main force arrives! That is the time for our real attack "
"Yes!" The officers nodded if they were enlightened,
As Van Lenten said, the first five thousand Normandy troops that arrived soon discovered the destroyed stone bridge, and had to scatter all five thousand people around to chop down trees, and put up a preparation The posture of erecting a pontoon on the bridge,
Van Lentern’s gaze was once again focused on the river in the distance. Because of the high place, the situation of the river in the distance is clear at a glance. I don’t know when, there have been countless red torches on the other side of the river, densely packed and completely covered. The river beach,
Behind the river beach, there are more light spots converging towards the river beach. It was a torch lighted by the Normans. There were tens of thousands of people, overwhelming, and the momentum was like a rainbow, noisy voices and horses neighing. The sound of the night breeze continued. Several pontoon bridges swayed on the white-capped river. The Normandy soldiers in queues were pouring in from above. Occasionally, there was a shout, and many black spots fell in. River water
No one noticed that in a dense forest not far away, a group of lone wolves were looking at them hungrily.
The neatly arranged armor and lancet can't see the end at a glance. The rain drenched the helmet, followed the gap in the brim of the hat, and ran down from the thin jaws of the soldiers. No one made a sound, only the sound of rushing rain splashing on the iron plate of the armor. Under the black iron helmet, there were faces that were scorched by the scorching sun with the flowing rain, and those under the brim of the hat. Slightly gloomy eyes due to fatigue,
One hour later, as the pontoon slabs that were locked with thick ropes were thrown into the torrent water, the outline of the pontoon quickly appeared on the river. 3 hours later, the raindrops in the sky suddenly stopped, unexpectedly unexpected Half of the crescent is exposed in the sky, staring coldly at the ground below
"My lord, let's attack. Or they will run away!" Some Falcon officers restrained their hoofed horses and urged them in a low voice, and the wind mixed with water vapor on their faces. Brings an exciting chill,
In just over an hour, five or six thousand people have crossed the river beach below. The soldiers who crossed the river were clustered from the east to the west, gathered in groups of three to five, sitting on a temporary fire. Roasted wet clothes, weapons randomly discarded aside, ridiculing loudly the gains from yesterday’s battle,
It's just a sign of a dead end! Van Lenten retracted his gaze from a distance, feeling that the attacking fighter was mature, and slowly turned his horse around, and raised his falcon sword to the 7,000 Falcon Hussars who had been waiting in line behind him
"Kill!"
With a burst of violent drink, in the shadowy moonlight, a group of cavalry in black armor swept across the earth like a gust of wind, leaving behind the dust like a rolling dragon, and the galloping sound of horses quickly aroused The attention of the Normans on the beach,
The rumbling of "enemy attack" made such shouts pale, and his body was covered in black armor, as if the **** of vengeance emerged from the darkness, and the sharp swords of the cavalry were raised high. The wind was blowing, mixed with damp water vapor. The horse's hoof stepped on the soft soil, making a snapping sound,
"Break them down"
Van Lantern's sharp Samor sword used horsepower to cut down from the shoulder of a Norman soldier.
Puff, the Normandy soldier who had not had time to react was opened on the spot. Blood mixed with internal organs poured out from the incision, exploding Van Lenten’s face, and the first line behind him was already like a heavy hammer. It hit the flustered Norman flank heavily,
"Kill!" The falcon cavalry flashed past, the sword slashed through the armor of the Normandy infantry, bright red blood squatted from the enemy’s neck, the horses staggered, and the body of more than a hundred Norman soldiers The form disappeared in an instant, the corpse shattered like a smashed cloth, and the sound was mixed in the collision of metal and flesh. The Falcon cavalry, who had an absolute advantage in the local area, broke the tidal flat almost effortlessly. Two thousand-man teams on the side,
"Stop them"
The Normans are also anxious. On such a wide river beach, being hit by such a group of cavalry sideways, if they can’t stop them, there is only a dead end. At the critical moment, the bravery of the Normans is very obvious. A Norman lord with a hundred Many Norman heavy cavalry cavalry, wearing heavy armor, holding flail and epee in their hands, swiftly face the impacting Falcon cavalry from all around the river beach without fear.
The sound of "Dang Cang" metal slamming was mixed with the cry of fighting. The two cavalry units are like two metal monsters squeezing each other. /
The cavalry above was shaken and thrown off his horse. Dragged by a war horse for more than ten meters
"Kill," the second thousand-man Falcon cavalry rushed in from the front very in time. The surging Falcon cavalry rushed the already limited Normandy heavy cavalry. The entire river beach was like being Cut in the middle,
"Mom"
The panicked Norman infantry rolled to the ground in the squeeze, and bright red human blood spattered from the crossed horses. The horses were like thunder. This ambush broke out so suddenly that someone soon noticed the impact. The killers who came here were not wearing the armor of the previous Salander, but black armor similar to the Nether Killer. The horse under the crotch was even taller and taller than the original Normandy horse. A head, a sharp weapon can split the armor on the body in one fell swoop, unstoppable, revealing a trembling fierceness,
"It's the Falcon Empire Army!"
I don’t know who was in the chaos, and screamed sorrowfully. The Normandy army immediately fryed the pot. Whether it was a meritorious army or a battle-tested team, the Normandy lost their guts and turned around. I ran into the river behind me, jumped into the river, at least there is hope of survival, staying on the beach is only to be trampled into pieces,
"Asshole, what's the matter on the other side?"
On the other side of the river, the Duke of Normandy Cavibo was angrily looking at the other side of the river. His soldiers were smashed in large numbers, and they were forced to jump into the river by countless cavalry. They did not distinguish between the east and the west, and the corpses lined up. When he fell, he didn't dare to turn his head and fight against him, as meek as a flock driven by a shepherd, a large swath of black armored cavalry slashed and slashed from behind.
Some fairly complete Norman flag teams were messed up before they even fought. The panic and fear of the namelessness spread all of a sudden. The soldiers had no fighting spirit, as long as someone shouted "Run away." !" All of a sudden, everyone had the same heart, and the whole army was scattered all at once. Soldiers took advantage of the chaos and joined the torrent of deserters. The threats of scolding by the officers were of no avail to the soldiers.
The chaos even spread to some troops on the other side of the river who have not yet crossed the river~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing that the other side was defeated, they were rushing. They can face the Salanders bravely, but they don’t have the courage to confront the Falcon Empire.
Although the Normans were brave and brave, they were defeated by the Falcons in Salander. Tens of thousands of elites were lost on the Salander Peninsula. Many of the officers of these troops are from Salander. Those who withdraw, hearing the name of the Imperial Falcon Army, are like hearing ghosts,
"The Duke, I can’t stand it anymore. The troops of the Marquis of Hyman and the Marquis of Kenneth have already withdrawn!" A Normandy lord shouted hoarsely to Cavy Bod, "If we don’t leave yet, the opposite hunter The Eagle Empire is about to cross the river and attack us!"
"Bad son, these two **** who escaped before the battle!"
Even with the restraint of Kaweibo, he was furious at this moment, and there were rout soldiers everywhere. The torrent of fleeing, let your own guards reorganize the flag regiment, before they get on the battlefield, they will rush for their own family members.
"Woo" The Falcon Army’s horns trombone sounded through the foggy morning, and looked so miserable in this vast land, stopping the horse, Van Lentien’s eyes swept across the **** river beach, his face There is no feeling of joy on it
"This...what's the matter!" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Van Luntieen's mouth. The Normans chose to flee without a full-fledged battle. When Van Luntieen reacted, he was on the opposite river beach. The main force of Normandy had already disappeared. Such a situation made Van Luntien not know how to explain to Statunke!
