Power and Empire Chapter 1302: The Sword of Empire (5)

The night wind 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 sky of ink, illuminating the ground below, and the white rain line from the boundless heights Falling down, hitting in the muddy soil,

The commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, Van Luntien, 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. Several directions, approaching quickly towards the high ground,

Each team is like a long black dragon, with clanging iron hoofs and rumbling. The rain hits the cavalry. The black armor shimmers with a gloomy luster, and the cavalry legion running in the rain looks exceptionally magnificent. ..

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, the **** Van Lun Tien excitedly grabbed the reins of the horse. "Not for the time being, because I can't save the river, so I can't get more. The exact information "replied the scout" Okay, I know! Keep paying close attention! "Van Lun Tien nodded, and the scout rode away and galloped away." Sir, do we need to attack immediately?" Several people followed him The falcon cavalry officer, a little nervous, leaned forward..

"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 raise the strength. 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 Lantern's eyes focused on the river in the distance again. Because of the high place, the situation of the river in the distance was clear at a glance. I don't know when. There have been countless red torches on the other side of the river, densely covering the river beach.

Behind the river beach, there are more light spots converging towards the river beach. It was a torch lit by the Normans. There were tens of thousands of people, overwhelming the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow, noisy voices and horses neighing. the sound of. As the night breeze continued, several pontoon bridges were swayed on the white-capped river, and the Normandy soldiers in queues were pouring in from above. Occasionally there was a shout, and many black spots fell into the river

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. Go in through the gap in the brim of the hat, and flow 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 are faces that are scorched and tanned by the rain, and the eyes under the brim of the hat that are slightly tired because of 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. Roasting the wet clothes, throwing away weapons at will, joking loudly about the harvest in the battle of yesterday,

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 blows, mixed with wet 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 Lentern's face, and the first line behind him was already like a heavy hammer. He slammed heavily on the panicked Norman's flank, "Kill!" The falcon cavalry flashed past, the sword sharply slashed through the Norman infantry's armor, the bright red blood smashed from the enemy's neck, and the horses staggered. The body of more than a hundred Normandy soldiers disappeared from their eyes in an instant. The corpses shattered like pieces of cloth, and the sound was mixed in the collision of metal and flesh. The number of Falcon cavalry who had an absolute advantage in the local area, Almost effortlessly, the two thousand-man teams on the side of the tidal flat were destroyed.

"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 it in the middle, "Oh my god"

The flustered Norman infantry rolled to the ground in the squeeze, and bright red human blood splashed out from the crossed war horses, and the war horses thundered. The ambush broke out so suddenly that someone soon noticed the impact. The killers who came here are not wearing the armor of the previous Salanders, but the black armor similar to the Nether Killer. The horse under the crotch is more powerful and tall, and it is taller than the Normandy horse. With one head, the weapon is sharp and can split the armor on the body in one shot, unstoppable, revealing a trembling fierceness, "It's the Falcon Emperor**!"

I don’t know who was in the chaos, and screamed sternly. The Normandy army immediately fryed the pot. Whether it was a meritorious army or a battle-tested team, the Normandy lost their courage and turned around. I ran into the river behind me, jumped into the river and at least had the hope of survival. I stayed on the beach only if I was trampled on to 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 had not crossed the river. 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 Emperor.

Although the Normans were brave and brave~IndoMTL.com~, they were defeated by the Falcons in Saland. Tens of thousands of them were lost on the Saland Peninsula. Many officers of these troops are now It was withdrawn from Salander. Hearing the name of the Imperial Falcon Army was like hearing a ghost, "Duke, I can't stand it anymore. The troops of the Marquis of Hyman and the Marquis of Kenneth have already withdrawn!" The Lord of Normandy shouted hoarsely to Cavy Bode, "If we don't leave yet, the Falcon Emperor on the opposite side will 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 Luntien's mouth. The Normans chose to flee without a full-fledged war. When Van Luntien reacted, the man on the opposite river beach The main force of Normandy has long been gone. Such a situation makes Van Luntien not know how to explain to Statunke! (To be continued.)
