Power and Empire Chapter 1636: The Battle of the Sona River (5)

The rumbling sound from the upstream direction attracted the attention of the warring parties in the middle reaches of the river

"Stay steady!" a general of the Falcon zhōngyāng army commanded loudly. Although his face was also filled with confusion, the Falcon flag representing His Majesty Falcon was still facing the wind in the center of the main line. Piao Zhan, this is the guarantee. Just when he sent people to the base camp to ask for instructions, a sound of horseshoes galloped from upstream, and a dozen swift guard cavalry ran from upstream to downstream, and suddenly stopped here

"What's going on here?" The head of the emperor sternly strangled the horse, his horse hoof heavily lifted the dust on the ground, his eyes swept across the fierce fighting river, his eyes were suddenly full of killing intent, and his mouth was full of killing intent. Exhausted and shouted, "I am the leader of the emperor's army, Salong, whose line of defense is here

"Saron, commander of the emperor!" The Falcon soldier who was resting almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and focused on the middle-aged man riding a horse, the man of the emperor world. The pillar and heavy minister, at this moment, he didn’t even wear his armor, and the other cavalry guards did the same. No wonder they could run so fast, but the rumored one eye that can make one’s soul frightened, flashed in the night. Human luster

"It is my line of defense, I am Nati Woods, commander of the seventh banner of the zhōngyāng army!"

The zhōngyāng captain rushed over and said, "Master Salon, although you are the captain, but this is also the case. レm♠思♥路♣客レhttp:..." That falcon The general looked at Saron without even wearing his armor, his face was serious, he stood upright and saluted Saron, his face was neither humble nor arrogant,

"Since it is the zhōngyāng army, you should know that before the war, your majesty gave an order not to go down to the river to fight the enemy without authorization under any circumstances!" Salong glanced across the face of the zhōngyāng army officer and took another look. On the battle line in the middle of the river, with slightly frowned eyebrows, he asked in a sharp voice, "You answer me, what are your soldiers doing?"

"Report your lord. My soldiers are fighting!" Natty Woods raised his head, his face sighed and responded loudly. The river is only waist deep, and the enemy troops are coming fiercely. If you don't take the initiative to go down to the river to fight, just rely on the river bank. Once the enemy’s input reaches the limit that our army can withstand, it will be difficult for the entire defense line to suppress the enemy’s offensive!"

"I don't care what your reason is, no matter what method you use, I will pull everyone up right away!" Saron was angry and waved his whip. Angrily reprimanded, "If you were your own subordinate, I would have slashed a whip long ago, military orders are like a mountain, where is so much nonsense!"

"Your Majesty once said that as a military commander, you must learn to seize the fighter and bite it hard. I think I am not wrong. As long as you give me another half an hour, our army will counterattack the other side's river bank!" Ti Woods replied passionately

"Counterattack? Who made you counterattack! Do you think the entire line of defense is 230,000 troops. Are you the only wise man?" Salong glanced anxiously at the upstream, then glanced at the barely stubborn man in front of Maqian. The commander of the zhōngyāng army flag decided to tell the truth. "The mouth of the river has been dug up upstream, and the flood will come soon. It will be flooded soon. If you want your people to be swept away by the flood, then stay in the river. Counterattack!

"I have more important things to see your Majesty, but I don’t have time to continue to spend time with you here. Tell you that this is already a leak, you can figure it out!" Salong's whip lashed on the horse's hip and brought it Several lightly armed guard cavalry galloped away

"What!"

Natti Woods' face changed. The two armies fought fiercely for more than an hour. The entire river was full of people. Numerous scattered bodies were washed up by the water on the banks of the river where the two armies fought. The soldiers were all eye-catching. The six squadrons under his command were less than three. Within a few hours, more than one-third of the personnel suffered damage, but he did not hesitate to reorganize the returned troops, and then continue to fight,

In this endless strangulation, whoever retreats will fail!

At first, the Gaul army was quite vigorous, and it was equal to the tenacious killing of the Falcons. However, as time went by and casualties increased, the Falcons' fighting spirit became more and more high. The Gauls were on the banks of the river. The number of reinforcements put in by the other side is obviously unable to keep up, and there has been obvious fatigue,

Natti Woods is still planning to use this to fight a counterattack and kill directly across the river, but now, Natty Woods only feels a chill rising, a flood! Natty Woods swept across the river water that only reached her waist, and the fire flashed with a thick blood-like feeling. No wonder there was only such a small amount of water tonight. It turned out that your Majesty cut off the upper reaches. Natty Woods fought. After a chill, Salong's last words touched his nerves. He didn't think that an important imperial minister of Salong's level needed to deceive himself,

He is an officer from the Western Army Corps. He is one of the two Western Banner regiments assigned to the northwest coast this time.

The two western flag regiments were temporarily designated by the fat man as the seventh and eighth flag regiments of the zhōngyāng army. This battle was used as a reserve team. Because of the readjustment, the two reserve teams were sent to the front line. , The under-prepared Western Legion was almost desperately defeated by Dorok’s peerless coach Anto, and the collective defeat was defeated. Although the Palavin River bank was still defended in the end, the poorly-performing Western Legion was destined to follow. Falling from the throne of the glorious Empire First Legion, if it were not for the zhōngyāng army general Hu Keqili to rush to the death, it would almost cause a major strategic error that humiliated the entire emperor,

Because of this, although His Majesty Falcon didn’t say anything about the post-war treatment, he transferred the brave and combative Northwest Army from the prosperous center of the mainland Paravin to the remote Dorok Arun mountainous area.

This is a silent rebuke from His Majesty Falcon. Too many officers of the Northwest Legion are ashamed when they talk about it. If they are defeated, they will be punished. This is the iron law of the Falcon Army. There is no officer. They were dissatisfied with this decision, but in their hearts, they also eagerly hope that they will have the opportunity to regain their glory.

Whether it is a soldier or an officer, even if he has only one chance, he will choose to fight the enemy to death, and he will never take a step back.

Although these two banner regiments are reserve teams, since they were sent to the front line, they were more fierce than the zhōngyāng army in other sections of the river. They were also soldiers of these two banner regiments, and the first to jump off regardless of military orders. In the river section, the soldiers are crazy, and the officers are also crazy! There were only 3 squadron leaders and 22 squadron leaders, which accounted for one-half of the middle and lower-level officers of the entire banner regiment. If Natty Woods were not the banner commander, he might have been damaged in the battle, but there was none. An officer complained about this. The wounded came back and bandaged, and then went back immediately. This is a soldier of the Western Legion, who is fighting out the courage that has been suppressed in his heart for a year.

What a cruel thing to ask them to withdraw in front of the already seen victory,

After a few seconds of difficult decision, Natty Woods punched the river in angrily, bleeding faintly between the knuckles, and raised his head with gnashing teeth. Loudly like a wounded beast to the commander behind him

"The trumpeter, order the whole army to withdraw to the river bank! No matter who it is, whether it is fighting or not, immediately withdraw to the river bank at any cost! Who does not return, I will kill him first!"

"Woohoo"

The stern battle cry, like a long sigh of unwillingness, resounded through the entire Sona River in the dark, and the tens of thousands of Falcon soldiers who were still fighting fiercely in the water turned their heads blankly. "What's the matter? ?Have we failed?" This thought flashed through the minds of the soldiers who were fighting for life and death almost at the same time. The sound of the battle horn made everyone's nerves tense. Some troops who withdrew from the front for rest and recuperation stood up one after another,

The military order is like a mountain. Despite the reluctance of a million, the Falcon soldiers in the river retreat quickly and have just come ashore. A group of **** officers surrounded Natty Woods, "My lord, what is going on, why are we retreating, we did not lose. We have even fought it! We can't lose face for the Western Army"

"I can't explain, but this is the order!" Natty Woods replied grimly on his face, "Upstream dug the mouth of the river, and there will be a flood soon!" Just when a group of officers was arguing. A fierce bang hit the embankment,

I saw a huge wave of up to ten meters wide in the upper reaches. The embankments on both sides of the river seemed to disappear suddenly, all of which were covered by the huge wave, and countless trees were sandwiched between them. Roll up and down inside

No one has estimated that it is such a terrible scene, all the voices are still

In the lower reaches of the Sona River, densely packed Gaul soldiers attacked the river. Arrows were like locusts. The two armies violently collided with each other. In the face of such a fierce impact, a human wall made up of flesh and blood was standing. The terrible weapons shattered, the flying spears smashed against each other, the screams of screams one after another, the shields in the hands slammed into each other, and both sides were densely packed soldiers.

"My lord, it seems that the other party has discovered it!" A Gaul general turned his head nervously and looked towards the midstream where the bugle sounded, and said to Stanley Spencer next to him.

"It’s only then that I have reacted, so what can the opponent do?" Stanley Spencer stared at the fighting river bank, and smiled noncommitantly. "Our army has already pressed on the river bank. The opponent is already at the end of the battle, even if it is the fastest Du Cong travels to help, and the other party has no chance at all."

The stern horn that came made him finally loosen his eyebrows, which had been tightly twisted together, and finally showed a smile on his stern face. "What's more, there is a 17-mile river from the middle reaches of the battle zone to the downstream main attack zone. In the section, I have already deployed 30,000 troops in the middle section of the river. Once the opponent finds that the situation is not good and wants reinforcements, the 30,000 troops will immediately launch a fierce attack along the section of the river, so that the northwest army on the other side will have to support the downstream. Stop and get into a difficult situation from the beginning to the end."

"Hey, the Northwester is too unfortunate to meet a wise general like an adult!" A trace of admiration flashed across General Gaul's face, but his **** did not last long. He heard a muffled thunder from the middle and upper reaches. The greater the coming, the sound is like the sound of heavy cavalry rushing from the horses hoof, it seems that even the earth is trembling slightly, and a surging white line suddenly appears in the distance of the river.

"This is!" The Gaul general looked at the white line that turned quickly, and was dumbfounded. Stanley Spencer was also dumbfounded. He wanted to give an order, but it was too late. The river was rolling back and forth. The water waves rolled like a fierce white dragon, slamming into the Gaul army surveying the Shiwandu River, rushing to the front one by one, carrying the broken trees and branches from the upper reaches of the gods, and the wind and the clouds. Flow by like crazy,

"Peng"! Thousands of Gaul soldiers were the first to bear the brunt, and they were thrown directly by the waves, and like little gadgets were caught in the bottom of the waves, and then nothing was seen, only the torrent of white waves rushing to the sky.

"Attention, flood!"

The Gaul army was completely stunned by the sudden flood. The river section crowded with 100,000 people was dense like a natural huge human body dam, which happened to collide with the coming flood.

"Papa" Numerous black spots are scattered like mud blocks that have been hit hard. Under the majes of nature, the weak human body is like a pile of sand, washed down like a pile of sand, without madness. Swept away mercilessly, the sound of rumbling water filled everyone's sight.

"Asshole!" Stanley Spencer's eyes were bloodshot. By looking at the tree trunks mixed in these floods, you would know that someone built a dam upstream. When digging the mouth of the dam, these were used to The wood used to build the dam was also swept down. Although the flood was fierce, the impact on the soldiers was limited after all. After a few waves, the water quickly slowed down and thousands of people were swept away. Tens of thousands of people fell to each other under the impact of the flood. Before many soldiers stood up, another row of flood peaks came again.

The turbid water smashed down, this time countless tree trunks were swept over by the flood at the same time, the Gaul soldiers were beaten to blood by the thick tree trunks, and the dense queue of Gaul soldiers was like a thousand soldiers. The horse rolled over, and the body of the Gaul soldier hit by the heavy tree trunk floated, as if he had intercepted a section of the river. There is a huge gap between the 100,000 Gaul troops,

At least tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded under the impact of the flood and tree trunks, and fell into the river wailing. The morale of the Gaul soldiers who had just been boiling down fell to a freezing point.

"Go forward!" The northwestern army, who was facing a little declining, suddenly showed a rainbow-like aura. The soldier who had just stepped back yelled and pressed on again, in the dark night that could not be seen clearly. Countless infantry in heavy armor swarmed out from behind as if they appeared out of thin air, and the sound of rumbling horses hooves sounded rapidly in the night. The northwestern cavalry with a sharp sword in their hands, like ghosts that suddenly appeared in the dark, formed several huge cone-shaped square formations, and they rushed towards the bewildered Gaul soldiers on the opposite river beach!

The neatly and densely packed black cavalry resembles a steel wall, and like a sea of ​​swords and swords, the dark, dark wings stretched out silently, horrible. The sound of dry and cracked horseshoes is like a thunder.

"Watch out for the enemy cavalry!"

The Gaul soldiers on the river bank were completely frightened by the sudden situation in front of them. The squadron at the back had just been washed away by the flood, and the steel horseshoes of the black cavalry in front had already rushed in like a whirlwind, sweeping across the sword. , Destroy everything. In the face of this terrible flood of destruction, thousands of Gaul soldiers who had no time to adjust were like papers, and were rushed by the cavalry group that hit from the front.

"The whole army is withdrawn, withdraw immediately! At all costs"

Stanley Bin’s eyes were full of blood, and his body shook while sitting on the war horse. He almost fell from the statue on the horseback. After all, he is an experienced old Jiang, who has come from a sudden flood. The enemy cavalry group, which had apparently been lurking for a long time, immediately guessed that he was caught in the trap. He issued three orders in one breath. Although it seemed to have the same meaning, the last order already explained the difficulty of retreating

At all costs, it is natural that some soldiers want to give up. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the river channel are fortunate to say that they are already actively retreating in a hurry and are crowded into a group. Those Gaul soldiers who have already hit the bank are obviously not easy to do. After being let go, the Northwest Army followed closely and could serve as a sharp forward for a hundred thousand army assault. The Gaul soldiers who are still resisting on these dams are obviously the real jīng sharp in the Gaul army.

In order to keep more people, Stanley Spencer had to reluctantly give up. As a warrior of the empire, he must naturally have the consciousness to dedicate his life to the empire

"Everyone block it!" After realizing that the retreat was hopeless, these Gaul jīng sharp infantry spontaneously formed small groups, but swept by the powerful cavalry group, they were swept away by a huge side knife. The soldiers They were crushed into powder by the torrent of steel from the other side in a scream of death.

The "offensive" followed the hoarse voice of the rear infantry shouting to kill, and the rear infantry pressed on, and the two black lines finally collided on the river beach. The sky-shaking sound of fighting rang out in the night sky, and the falcon's heavy infantry spear became The row pierced into the enemy’s body and pulled out with blood,

Thick, tall infantry heavy shields lined up in a neat array and pushed forward, like a shrinking triangle, constantly squeezing fewer and fewer enemies on the river beach from three directions, and Gaul soldiers were pushed Down the river, there were a large number of Gaul soldiers crowding together in the river. The Falcon infantry jumped into the river bank one by one holding lances and shields. Mud splashed, and dense Gauls surged under their feet like a flood.

"Kill"

The Falcon Army above is struggling to pierce the crowd below with the stabbing spear,

War wind and grin~IndoMTL.com~ The flag is rustling behind him, the fat man is standing less than 200 meters from the river bank, the night breeze is blowing black hair like night, behind him , The muzzle of Thor’s gleaming thunder in the dark night has been slowly raised,

The huge fire of "Boom Rumble" broke out in an instant, this time it was not thunder, but Thor,

I saw the entire row of fires burst out in an orderly and swift manner, and countless fireballs with long black smoke tails, like meteors across the sky with a whistling sound, hitting the crowded river channel of Gaul soldiers.

"Rumble" violent explosion sounded with the wind, Stanley Spencer's face turned pale, and no trace of blood was seen anymore,

I saw the crowded river, one by one, dazzling light clusters exploded, thousands of Gaul soldiers were lifted off by the fierce air waves bursting like a halo, in the air, countless pieces of meat were floating like falling rain , The blood mixed with fire, illuminating the banks of the entire Sona River,
