Power and Empire Chapter 1633: The Battle of the Sona River (2)

Slap "A pair of black-ringed leucorrhea horseshoes stepped into the water of the Sona River, splashing white water splashes,

An attendant rode on his horse and reminded the Duke of Denia who was still thinking, "My lord, ten miles ahead is the base camp of the Falcons! Do you see if we need to camp here? If we go to the Falcon Army Camp and camp again, people who don’t know think we are the Falcon Army!"

The Duke of Denia is riding on his favorite war horse, Black Star. The semi-shallow shoal has just passed the horseshoe. The Sona River in front of you is the border between the northwest and the southwest. Fifty miles west is the mouth of the sea. The Gallic army Choose four roads to advance to the northwest, and aim directly at Dahaicheng in the northwest.

The main direction of the Gaul army’s advance is the Sona River, which is close to the mouth of the sea. The depression that the river has hit for thousands of years makes it impossible to build a fortress. The river is fifty meters wide and rolls quickly, making it difficult to cross. , But for the Gaul Army, which has an army of 180,000, the 50-meter river is just a larger mud ditch. It is said that the commander of the Gaul Army, Stanley Spencer, once said with a smile that one person dropped a branch. , The 180,000 army is enough to block the Sona River, which can only be called a river.

"Apart from us, what other forces have arrived?"

The Duke of the war horse stared solemnly and deeply at the Sona River, which has been flowing for countless years. The rushing river tumbling and a spray of water rolled a section of tumbling emerald branches and erected a sparkling silver light. Rushing away, until finally disappeared with the current,

"I walked up the river and saw the flags of Tarbert, Skive, Willy, Loso, and Zekelia." The attendant hesitated for a moment, and recalled that the corners of his mouth curled slightly. "They The camp is roughly the same as the previous practice. It did not integrate with the northwest coast army to camp together. Instead, the camp was independently distributed within the range of two to five miles from the Falcon Army. The total force adds up to approximately 15,000. For these small areas, it can be regarded as the limit to which troops can be deployed. Only our Denia has the most troops."

"Where are the Senders?"

The Duke of Denia retracted his gaze from the river, his gaze flickered like a new wind blowing across the river. Under his sight, the Denia army was lining up in several lines across the long ticks beside the river, all dressed in heavy clothes. The Denia infantry of the first class had soft ground on the banks of the river. It had just rained. The soldier’s feet stepped on the road by the river, sinking deep into the ooze, armor and lancet by the river, and the sharp cold was polished, dragging a long steel dragon on the road. This time the Duke of Denia brought Twenty thousand people are all well-trained elite heavy infantry soldiers, tens of thousands, except for the sound of footsteps. No one talks, go ahead in silence

The recent situation has put pressure on every Deniar

Rushend, one of the two major forces in the Lower Northwest, has collapsed, leaving an army of 100,000. However, with a wave of the Vicia Falcon, I couldn’t breathe.

I didn't even know that I was hit directly to the heart of the capital, and it became a joke for the entire Northwest. After losing Ruosende to share the pressure, only Denia in the Northwest can contend with the northwest coast, but Denia is not Ruosende. The Duke of Denia is not the new Duke of Ruosend who thinks he is smart, either,

The Duke of Denia has always regarded himself as a soldier and used an iron fist to unite the whole country. The national power is not the strongest, but the military is the strongest.

The Northwest Coast Army entered the Sona River section and was obviously prepared to stop the Gaul Army here. Under pressure, other Northwestern forces also led their troops. Although the Gaul Army’s target was Xinhai City on the northwest coast, the entire The northwest knows that if Xinhaicheng falls, the entire northwest will be exposed to the Gaul army. When the northwest coast is withdrawn, it will be his turn to be unlucky. High Quality Update of Wudu Novel Network

So this battle of the fate of the Northwest affects the nerves of the entire Northwest. Facing the 180,000 Gaul army who vowed to step on the northwest, the upper and lower northwest regions that have been infighted and reintegrated are rare. A trace of unity, as the overlord of the Lower Northwest, the Duke of Denia certainly does not want to fall behind

"I didn't see the flag of the Ruosende!"

The attendant had a weird face, his mouth curled, and his tone contemptuously said, "Actually, even if they were allowed to come, would they dare to come? The dignified army of 100,000 Sende was shocked by the 30,000 cavalry of the Vijaya Falcon , What Northwest is the Northwest of the Northwest people, the screams in the mouth are fierce, but at the moment of the country’s honor and shame, there is not even a person who rises up!

"It is a shame that I, Denia, and such a country are side by side. The northwest coast only showed his claws, and the new duke of Sands was withered. He really thought that the land of the northwest was him. This idiot, who grew up in Kyoto, started playing with it! But I don’t understand a little bit. The 30,000 army of Vijaya Falcons has already approached the capital of Ruosende, why not just attack it directly?"

"If the Vicia Falcon captures Ruosend, everyone in the Northwest will be in danger now! Where is such a united situation? At this point, I have to admit that the Vicia Falcon has a good grasp of it! "The Duke of Denia sneered and said

"The little guy in Sender is totally irresponsible this time! He wanted to climb up to the scenery, but was slapped and slapped by the Vicia Falcon. Some time ago, Sender suddenly appeared, as if The first force in the Northwest claims to be the Northwest, while shouting that the Northwest is the northwest of the Northwesters, and at the same time it uses its momentum to send out a joint invitation to all forces.

"It is clear that I want to take advantage of the momentum to become the leader of the upper, lower, northwest, and force the northwest coast. That guy really should raise his arms and others will follow him! Between countries, the strength is the first, and the northwest is all The Fang forces remember that just a few months ago, the Viking Falcon’s sharp iron hooves broke the alliance in the Lower Northwest without any effort, and killed several countries in the Lower Northwest. There were more than 100,000 troops in the Northwest. The northwest coast was swept"

"How long has this passed? "The Duke of Denia's tone is a bit of disdain." Someone dared to touch Vicia Falcon's tiger butt. It was so tired and crooked. Everyone was waiting to see the joke. Did the guy who challenged the courage of the overlord of the Northwest Coast bear the burden of the serious consequences? Unfortunately, who knew that this guy turned out to be an embroidered pillow. If he didn’t do it, he would kill him! Silence becomes a soft persimmon that you can pinch at will, then wait for this insidious guy to step into the graveyard.

"Sure enough, it took less than five days for Sender to be proud to issue the announcement, and various places were still watching and swaying. There was a change in the situation that no one had expected. The Vicky Falcon’s 30,000 army hit. The lore, unexpectedly entered Ruosend without hindrance, the soldiers arrived at the capital of Rusend, and the capital of Rusend was frightened. In addition to the chaos of the capital, they also silently lost two major counties and other areas of Rusend. While watching the plight of the capital unexpectedly, it is obvious that no one wants to be a loyal minister, to provoke the Vicia Falcon for the so-called new master, which is enough to crush the 30,000 cavalry of Send."

"It's not a competition at all!"

The voice of the Duke of Denia's laughter stopped, and the horse whip in his hand was raised. The high-quality update of Wudu Novel.com looked at the rolling river and said to himself, "Sometimes I really miss the old fox when he is still there. Although both sides are enemies and friends, at least they can work together in the face of external pressure. Unlike now, I can only support Denia in isolation! I don’t know how long it will last!" The Duke of Denia seemed to think of something with a wry smile. "Actually, whether it is Denia or the entire northwest. Just like that The branches of Duan surrounded by the current are completely involuntary, and the rushing torrent is undoubtedly in the limelight. Just now the soldiers swallowed two important areas of Ruosende. A soldier came directly to the capital of Sende. Vicia Falcon under the city!"

"My Lord Duke..."

Hearing what the Duke of Denia said, the attendant's eyes were complicated, and he was silent for a while, 170,000 troops on the northwest coast. This is a military force that makes the entire Northwest bow their heads, not to mention the unpredictable tactics of the Vicia Falcon. No wonder even the stalwart Duke has been shaken!

You want to fight. I will fight! The strength of the northwest coast is too straightforward. Although the forces in the northwest are terrified, they still admire the five-body throwing to the ground. Even Denia, who regards the northwest coast as a comparison target, has the iron-blooded style of the northwest coast army from the heart. Thumbs up, worthy of the peerless courage of the Lord of the Northwest, who has overwhelmed many forces in the Northwest. Facing the 180,000 Gallic army, there was not much nonsense, and the 170,000 army was gathered at one time and drove to the border. The forces of the party were moved one after another,

The various accusations on the northwest coast disappeared overnight. Instead, the reputation of the northwest coast rises from the bottom line to the top like a spring. At this time, who dares to say that the northwest coast is afraid of death and avoiding war? Who dares to say that the Vicia Falcon has no guts?

There is no such nonsense as the Duke of Rock in Ruosend chanting "the northwest is the northwest of the Northwest people", and there is no need to pull up other forces to discuss before the war, who pays more, who pays less Bargain,

Under the eagle wings that the Vikea Falcon unfolded, it was the sea of ​​knives and guns on the northwest coast. It seemed that the rolling caravans had become an army. The 170,000 army went straight to the border heavy site of the Sona River, and the opposite was facing the cable. The 180,000 Gallic army advancing from Nahe is set for a meeting.

"As a big country, there must be a big country!" The Duke of Denia looked at the turbulence on the river, with a trace of determination flashing across his face, and rejected the entourage's proposal for the Falcons to camp separately. "Go and report, just say that I'm here as Denia!"

"Yes, Lord Duke! The attendant turned and left.

In the evening, the Denia army arrived at the Falcon Army camp. The Duke of Denia saw the Falcon Army camp ahead. Rows of trees tied with trees were placed on the bank of the river. The high platforms are springing up on the river embankment like bamboo shoots after the rain. There are ridges and rows of fences. Heavy ballistas are distributed at the four corners. The cold light flashes like huge arrowheads like spears, so that any enemy who attempts to forcibly cross the river must come first. Counting and weighing in my heart, countless military tents filled the open space behind the river beach, and the light of countless torches was like a river of stars dragged along the bank of the Shili River. The momentum was magnificent, and people couldn't help but think of the term magnificent waves.

The shimmering and swaying shadows of the water are reflected on the wooden fence on the river bank. The sound of the waves of the river water slams on the river beach, making a rushing sound, just like the sound of a warrior's armor rubbing on his body during a fierce battle.

"So strong." The Duke of Denia tightened his hand on the reins of the horse and said to himself in a low voice, "I at least know that my abilities are there to the maximum. At most, I'm a local hero, and Vicia Falcon, where is your gaze! Hope... I really live up to Denia’s name one day!"

On May 27th, 20,000 people from the Duke of Denia arrived at the battlefield of the Sona River. On May 28th, a total of 30,000 people from the northwestern regions including Tarbert, Skive, Villi, Loso and Zekelia Seven thousand people arrived at the Sona River battlefield. On May 29th, 15,000 people from the Duchy of Dunkirk arrived. On May 30th, the Vijay Falcon personally swears and arranges the battle. A full 230,000 army spread along the line of the Sona River,

The fat man is standing on the swearing stage, looking at the army below, the spear is like snow, and the metal shield is more exciting than the sparkling of the Sona River. After a year of hard work, he finally made the Northwest possess the ability to pull Shoot the bowstring of Sirius.

June 2nd, morning,

The calm Sona River finally began to vibrate. In the white fog, people's heads were crowded.

Thousands of troops and horses emerged from the mountain fog on the opposite side. The heads were densely packed, and the numbers were innumerable. The Gaul army, which was mixed on foot and on foot, continuously drove out from the forest on the opposite side of the mountain, rumbling hooves and footsteps. Resounding through the foothills, soldiers and horses set off a yellow dust and fog front,

The flying flag is looming in the dust and fog in the sky, like a black cloud pressing towards the river beach,

"Attention. It's the army from the northwest!" A Gallic officer on a horse slammed his horse by the river, and followed a group of cavalry behind him. The cape of the cavalry was like a leaping red line. Washed into the shallows. The horseshoe lifted the water vapor on the river, and as the wind rushed against the armor of the cavalry, the long lances of the Gallic Lancers were washed brightly by the rain, and the light reflected in the misty mist gleamed human eyes.

"Ready to fight!"

Following an order, the phalanx of the Northwest Army on the opposite bank of the river was also rapidly unfolding, like a mountain of swords. Guns are like forests, the sea of ​​steel is dazzling, and the wooden buildings on the riverside are also rapidly rising from thick black smoke at this time. For a time, more than a dozen thick smokes rose up into the wind at different locations in the river section, like a black scroll straight up to the sky,

"Shoot!"

The two sides started fighting directly across the river surface of fifty meters. The dense clusters of arrows shot across the river. The archers pressed up one by one. The arrows blocked the sky like locusts, like countless lights bursting out suddenly. Point, a powerful shooting line, forming a death line at the entrance along the river,

"Ah", I can constantly see the soldier who was shot in the body shaken a few times before being washed away by the turbulent river, turning into a scary red splash,

"Your Majesty, black smoke rose from 11 guard towers on the upper reaches of the Sona River! The opponent launched a fierce attack with archers. It is preliminary estimated that it should be a tentative attack." A guard hurriedly broke into Fatty’s military account. Whispered in the ear

"Why is it upstream?" The fat man raised his head unexpectedly and looked at the map of the Sona River on the wall. Hearing the report, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

The first day of the Gaul army’s fierce attack was expected, just as I didn’t know where the Gaul army crossed the river, nor did the Gaul army know the reality of the defense on the river. More than 100,000 troops, Thousands of casualties can still be borne, but the location where the opponent launched the attack is illogical. According to Fatty’s expectation, if the enemy wants to cross the river forcibly, the best place to cross the river must be here, but the report received made Fatty feel uncomfortable. Rather than re-examining the map on the desktop, most of the black smoke in contact with the enemy was concentrated in the upper reaches of the more than ten roads, but not near the Haikou location. Is the opposing commander unfamiliar with the terrain or has other attempts? Fatty's pen put a big question mark on the map.

"Your Majesty, I went to the upstream to take a look. The fight was too messy. The opponent's archer was pressing up in pieces. I was afraid that those upstream would collapse?"Saron walked in from the outside in a confused rush.

"Crash? I dare not say to the others, at least the Denias can withstand it. On the first day of the battle, the opponent will not press it all the way! "The fat man was silent for a moment and shook his head." The collision with upstream Compared to that, I care more about the true intentions of the enemy!"

"The real intention? Your majesty meant that the other party deliberately went upstream to attract our attention!" A cold light flashed in Salong's eyes. He was also an experienced star, and soon realized what his lord meant.

"Yes, if you led the army, you would choose where to cross the river" The fat man nodded, took his gaze from the map, and turned around

"Naturally, it is downstream. The closer the river is to the estuary, the more water and silt will be deposited. In the end, a large alluvial plain will be formed at the estuary~IndoMTL.com~The water flow starts to become gentle, under normal circumstances , You can walk through it even on foot. "Saron stared at the map for a few moments and said definitely

"I think so too, but now it seems that the other party is more sophisticated than we thought. "The fat man placed the pen on the map and the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and said," the commander of the other party clearly sees through our center of gravity. Downstream, so we concentrated our forces on the upstream and wanted to attract our army’s attention accordingly. If we succeeded in attracting, we would seize the opportunity to **** the downstream. If we just sit and watch, we simply penetrate the upstream and let the army swim from the upstream. Over "

"This guy must be a lunatic!"Saron's face was pale,

"Stanley Spencer, a famous general in the eastern battlefield of the Gaul Empire, according to the information I got, this guy is best at attacking and breaking the enemy with force. Once he breaks through the upper reaches by surprise and swipes with all his strength, we are in The scattered defense on the riverside is a fish to be slaughtered. "The fat man took a deep breath and said slowly

"Rumble" a muffled thunder in the sky rang in the middle of the low clouds,

"Lord General, the enemy reinforcements arrived, and the Third Army stormed halfway, and had to give up!" A Gallic messenger galloped over and dismounted in a forest downstream,

Beside the tributary of the river in the woods, a middle-aged man of about 40 years old was squatting by the river, throwing a fist big rock into the river that was turning the rapids.

Seeing the stone sinking to the bottom, this middle-aged man stood up satisfied, patted the dirt in his hands, and said, "Immediately block the water flow of all nearby tributary channels, and our army will walk across the Sona River on foot!
