Power and Empire Chapter 1323: The Death of the Expeditionary Army (2)
On the 27th day of the calendar year of the Falcon Empire, the Central Army cavalry of the V-Normandy Kyoto began to arrive. In the little green of early spring, the Falcon flag of the Central Army of the Empire carried a thick The intent to fight appeared in the faint morning light, and the huge falcon battle flag with its teeth and claws made the Salad's expeditionary army, who was still clearing the trenches outside the city, shocked.
As if a **** soldier descended from the sky, a rumbling of horseshoes rolled up in the distance,
"Attention, line up ahead!"
The expeditionary force was in chaos. In order to resist the imperial army, the commander stationed in Normandy Kyoto divided the 10,000 army into two parts. One part was stationed in Kyoto city, and the other part was stationed outside Kyoto city, relying on the continuous outside of the city. The trenches form the first line of defense,
"Hurry, I don’t want to die fast!"
Under the loud urging of the officers, the Salander soldiers appeared in the trenches. As they got closer and closer, the Salander Expeditionary Army in charge of the outer trenches began to riot, and only the central army was in the distance. The long black lines of the cavalry ran across the edge of the earth like a fierce tide, heavy horseshoes hit like a landslide, and the expeditionary soldiers’ faces were as white as paper in fright, and they hadn’t even given the order to retreat. In some areas, there was an uncontrollable rout,
In terms of numbers, they are not less than the number of the Central Army, but the fighting will and fighting power of these expeditionary soldiers are completely destroyed by wealth and desire.
At the beginning of the Battle of Southern Salander, the Salander army that was defeated by the Normans and captured was about "10,000 people, because there are too many Normans with a strength of only 10,000 Normans, very decisive. They adopted a policy of reducing their mouths. They removed all the prisoners who were over fifty. Except for the nobles, they killed them all. Soldiers who were wounded and maimed in the battle were also sold as waste to slave dealers at a low price. ,
Otherwise, these prisoners, twice as many as they, would rebel, enough to keep the Normans busy. The Normans finally killed more than 10,000 people through various means, and they were transported to Normandy on the way, because the ship capsized And resisting, more than a thousand people died, of which more than 10,000 were sold to other countries after they arrived. In the end, fewer than 10,000 people remained in Normandy.
"God, the cavalry is coming!
Some Salander expeditionary troops looked at the Zhongli Yangjun cavalry at a distance of 300 meters. They threw their weapons in fright. They ran back and saw someone fleeing. More expeditionary soldiers seemed to be trampled on. The ants that got out of the nest ran out of the trench in a mess, ignoring the harsh swearing of the officer behind, swarming towards the rear of Kyoto,
"Raise!"
Hu Keqili, who grabbed the fighter, yelled. Behind them, the cavalry group of the Central Army suddenly entered the trench area like a lightning bolt. The distance between the trenches in front is not wide, and the horses only need to gently You can step over with a single leap. The countless sharp swords gleaming with fierce white light make the expeditionary army gall. Thousands of cavalry attacked like a tornado, yelling "Kill!"
was frightened by this power, the soldiers of the disintegrating expeditionary army immediately bombed the camp, and the entire line of defense was under the impact of the Central Army cavalry, just like being swept across the ground by a storm, at the moment of contact, The strong wind blows down the weak grass everywhere, and the dead body is on the spot
"Really as your Majesty said, Kyoto seems stubborn, but it is actually vulnerable!"
The sight in front of him made Hu Keqili, who led the army, turned his mouth disdainfully. After he was able to defeat the Second Army of the Expeditionary Army, Hu Keqili once suggested to march to Truborg, but he was attacked by the fat man. Veto,
Fatty gave him the task of directly crossing the Troutburgh and attacking Norman Kyoto. Hu Keqili once objected to this, saying that the topography of Kyoto is difficult, the city walls are high and strong, and there are more than ten miles of trenches outside. The zone is really not suitable for cavalry raid operations
Regarding Hu Keqili’s statement, the fat man smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. "Kyoto seems to be strong, but it is actually vulnerable. Any strong fortress, if handed over to a group of defenseless defenders, is just a display. That's it,
Kyoto is solid, but it’s hard to tell the defending soldiers. Although these people used to be soldiers, they worked as slaves in Normandy for a few years. China has lost the **** nature of the soldiers in the past, and then recklessly in the middle of Normandy, burning, killing and looting for several months, in essence, these people have turned from soldiers into thugs inferior to ordinary bandits,
The expeditionary army has made a fortune in the plunder, and now all of them are delicate and expensive. Who has the willpower to smash with the violent cavalry here, one who has long forgotten the fighting instinct. The army, if you are suddenly attacked by a cavalry cluster and don’t know how to fight for a while, this is your chance! Tore a gap from the line of defense, in a rush, following the defeated army, it is bound to go straight to Kyoto! "
The tactics Fatty’s instructions are very simple. He asked Hu Keqili to concentrate all the cavalry, specifically attack one side of the trench defense line, with absolute superior force, to defeat those organized and organized resistance in a short time, with The horseshoe stomped them to pieces,
At eight ten ten, four infantry squadrons on the left wing of the expeditionary army responsible for the trenches were smashed and defeated. Three squadron captains were killed. Their soldiers were torn apart. More than 3,000 men were disintegrated and shaken. The left wing of the entire defense line
"Go forward, push forward with all your strength!"
Hukoqi did not pay any attention to the broken soldiers, but moved forward unwaveringly. The cavalry marched forward as fast as a arrow, and the horses were like thunder, from the baffle that had not been removed from the trench. Speeding past, these baffles are like bridges over two trenches. Under normal circumstances, they are provided for soldiers to pass through, because the Central Army cavalry appeared too suddenly, and they fleeed too fast in front.
These baffles were used as their own way of life and death by the ruined army. They were crowded with people. When they were rushed by the horses, they suddenly fell into a large trench. The scene was tragic. The Central Army cavalry group firmly bit the broken soldiers in front of them. The tail, one after another, and one team after another crashes"
"The main force of the Falcon Empire has come! Go away, if you are caught up, you will die!" Panic spread from the left flank to the whole line like a plague. The exhausted and sleepless expeditionary soldiers lost their minds, screamed like water, and the situation in front of them was exactly as the fat man had expected. The ten-mile-long trenches made the expeditionary troops scattered outside the city. In the long line, facing the sudden flank attack, they could not mobilize the troops to respond in time.
If the commander of the expeditionary force is sober enough at this time, he immediately ordered the abandonment of the excess trench defense line in front, and withdraw all the troops into the last two trenches with the back of the high wall. According to the support of the wall, it only needs to be completed once. A strong counterattack will be able to repel the attacking Central Army cavalry. However, the commander of the expeditionary force stationed outside the city was obviously stunned by the heavy horseshoe howling.
The entire flanks were in turmoil, the killing sound shook the sky, and the number of soldiers fleeing from the front trench to the back trench, the shining cold light of the saber made all the expeditionary soldiers who saw all this feel braved from their hearts Chill
"Retreat now!"
If another expeditionary general is in charge this time, or it will not have such an effect, the commander of the remote expeditionary army in Kyoto is the traitor of the Sarand Northern Army, Enright, I see in the morning mist The looming falcon battle flag and the fear of ignorance clearly made the commander exaggerate the enemy's strength. He believes that he has been bitten by the main force of the Imperial Army,
Because the battle flag of the Central Army is also a falcon mark, it is easy for Enright, who does not have a deep understanding of the imperial military system, to take it for granted that the people who led the cavalry to kill were brutal and tyrannical. Vicia Falcon, who mistaken the Zhongliyang Army battle flag for the Vicia Falcon’s battle flag, directly made him think of giving up the entire trench defense line without hesitation. The name of the mainland **** of war is enough to shock everyone. He The wrong decision caused countless Salander troops to be defeated, just like the sinking of rivers, a large number of them gathered outside the closed gate of Kyoto
" Open the door and let us in! "The location of the city gate is already noisy, the crowded army below yelled at the people above, and the city guards above erected a whole row of bows and arrows, murderous Facing the bottom, the two sides can’t help but the cavalry in the distance is coming here in a **** storm
"No one can open the city gate without an order!" An officer leaned out half of his body from above, and shouted at the black head below
"Order? Whose order do you want?" I am Enright, the highest commander of Kyoto, and I order you to open the city gate! "
When Enright arrived, he was also frightened by the collapse of the army in front of him. From beginning to end, he was not a real soldier. Under such circumstances, the first thing he thought of was to return to the city immediately. Immediately ran away with all the treasures, and the entire continent of Ikadiva knew that there was no strong city or fortress that could withstand the horseshoe of the Vicia Falcon.
"Master Enlight?" The officer on the wall was taken aback, and in the crowd he saw the Supreme Commander Enlight also inside
"Ahiborn, don’t open the door yet! If you don’t open, I will order your head to be cut off!"
Enright raised his head in annoyance and shouted the name of the city guard officer. This time he placed his direct line in the city, and placed the so-called expeditionary troops outside the city, and he himself made these expeditionary troops I mean to be cannon fodder, but I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad. I came out for inspections in the morning and encountered a large-scale attack by the Imperial Army. I was very unhappy and enjoyed the treatment of being turned away, just like other expeditionary troops.
" My lord, what if you open the city gate now and the enemy takes advantage of the situation to come in? "This officer is fairly dedicated, but it's obviously not the time.
" Bastard, if you don't open the city gate, do you want me to die outside too?" Enright shouted,
"But..." This officer still wants to say
Enright turned his head and glanced at the black cavalry who was getting closer and closer behind him. He couldn't control that much anymore. He directly raised the whip in his hand and shouted at the archer on the wall, "All the archers listen, this People are rebellious, and I suspect they are spies of the Imperial Army. I order you to be executed immediately. Mouth...
口.
"Don’t, I’ll open the door right away!" The officer’s face was pale with fright, and he quickly waved and shouted, letting the nearby city gate winch pull the winch. Even in the cold early spring, he was sweating profusely. Shouted loudly, now I can’t control so much. It’s the first one to save my life. These archers are all Enlight’s people. With an order, I will definitely end up with a thousand arrows.
"Gege"
The tightly closed gate of Kyoto finally opened slowly under the pull of a winch, and the collapsed army swarmed up, suddenly squeezed into piles, difficult to control, and the Central Central Army cavalry who had been prepared in the distance seemed to have heard it. The fishy wolves rushed toward the gate of the city. The horses were thundering and the swords were like frost. They ran slowly and were trampled to death by the horses
"Quickly, close the door! "The defenders on the wall are in a mess, seeing this situation, and there are countless defeated troops below. The gate was forced to a gap of several meters wide, and the winch hand pulled hard, and only closed less than ten centimeters.
.
"Everyone hold on, those **** are going to close the city gate!"
"Too despicable, are you going to abandon us?"
"Yes, everyone wants to live, so just rush in!"
There were various scolding noises from below, and it was obvious that the winch of the city gate was being pulled vigorously. Although the previous defeated troops violently resisted the city gate, the machinery was huge. Before the power, the two giant gates opened slowly closed towards the middle
"Let me pass, I am Enright!"
In the crowd, Enlight yelled loudly. Under the desperate push of several guards, he miraculously squeezed to the blocked gate. The gate was able to survive in front, and there were more than a dozen in the back. Both big hands pulled his clothes hard, making it difficult for him to walk in and look at the smaller and smaller city gates
" Bastard, let go! "In an emergency, Enright drew out his saber without hesitation, hacked at the hand behind him, blood spattered, and a screaming scream came from behind him. Sound
"My hand!"
A few arms that were too late to let go, fell to the ground blood dripping, some still clinging to Enlight’s clothes, and some flew to the people behind. Taking advantage of the chaos behind, Enlight A very successful leap, not long ago, Mi's gate rushed in, and the gate was heavily closed. The sight of countless pairs of eyes seemed to be cut off, and the light was the same. The gate suddenly Dimmed down
"This is God's will, the sky will never destroy me!" Enright yelled with joy, knelt on the ground, and kissed the ground under her feet fiercely.
While outside the city, the noisy voice suddenly stopped. Except for the screams of some people, their arms were cut with a sharp sword, exposing their bones, and they rolled on the ground in pain, three of them One was Enlight’s guard. They pushed Enlight into the last hope, but their master cut off their hands. Although they tried their best to hold the **** wounds and bite their teeth, they still couldn’t stop making a sound.
"Tap!"
In the distance, the Imperial Central Cavalry Group, which was already less than 30 meters away from the city gate, stopped. The black horses and horses lined up, covered in blood, bloodshot eyes and neat swords. The sound of sheathing, even the smell of blood wafting in the wind, made all the thousands of expeditionary troops outside the gate of the distance feel a chill from the heart. It is said that this cavalry was in Said. The killed Vansarand expeditionary army was bloody, and the entire Second Army was wiped out
"It seems that the first plan failed!"
Hu Keqili slowly came out of the cavalry queue, his eyes swept across the closed door in front, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly. The opposing commander was also cold-blooded and threw thousands of people to the enemy. , If you issue a killing order, the entire moat will be blocked by piles of corpses. Fortunately, His Majesty Falcon has also arranged a second plan. Although it is not as exciting as the first plan, it is also It's enough to decide the whole battle:
"Vertical crossbow!"
Hu Keqili glanced across the gate, crowded into a group, like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, the expeditionary soldiers suddenly raised their hands behind them,
" Brush! Brush "The central army cavalry from their war horse weapon slots, drawn half a meter in length, like an open half-moon-like cavalry assault crossbow, the cavalry are very fluent And quickly put the triangular armor-piercing arrow cluster on it. This armor-piercing arrow can penetrate the armor of heavy infantry at a distance of 50 meters. At such a distance, if a volley is launched, no one on the opposite side will be spared
"Aim!" With Hu Keqili's order, the body of the assault crossbow in the hand of the Central Army cavalry was slowly flattened, and the sharp arrows that burst from the cold light were trembling directly at the gate. Thousands of expeditionary troops, the air has stopped at this moment
"Mom, I don't want to die!"
"Is this going to slaughter us?"
There is a chaos under the gate of the city, crying fathers and mothers, the crowd formed by thousands of defeated troops, like being squeezed in by a pair of invisible giant palms~IndoMTL.com~, directly face to face For the cavalry crossbow people, they all stepped back subconsciously, and some even wanted to jump into the moat, but the river was too fast, and the person who jumped was swept away in a few strokes. After a while, a roll of **** waves followed the river. Floating in blisters,
Some people who wanted to learn, quickly put out their plans to jump into the river,
In order to resist the imperial army crossing the river to attack the city, the expeditionary army placed countless sharp iron pieces, stones, and bamboo sticks in the Normandy Kyoto moat.
As long as people fall, they will soon be swept in by the waves and die. The tremendous pressure makes the faces of the soldiers of the Salander Expeditionary Army on the opposite side pale,
Looking at the cold light that flickers like stars on the opposite side, no one will doubt that the cavalry on the opposite side will not kill everyone without hesitation after ten sounds.
"For the sake of you once belonged to the soldiers of the Empire, I will give you a choice, lay down your weapons and surrender or die! Within ten sounds, make a choice!" Hu Keqili glanced across the front and raised his head again. Raise your hand and slowly say "one, two, three..." in your mouth.
Before the count of four, the expeditionary army began to drop weapons. By the tenth sound, no one was still holding a weapon. Even Hu Keqili couldn’t bear this situation. "This kind of expeditionary army simply loses the face of the imperial soldiers!"
