Power and Empire Chapter 1637: Suna River Battle (6)
"The shameless and despicable Vicia Falcon!"
On the other side of the river, Stanley Spencer had no blood on his face. Thinking of the tens of thousands of troops who suffered heavy casualties overnight, the emperor’s angry face when he received the news suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a mouthful of hot blood. Swelling up to his throat, "pouch" a scarlet blood arrow squirted from his mouth to the ground. The body that had been responsible for the heavy responsibility since his appointment, could no longer support it, swayed, and suddenly fell heavily from the horse.
This sudden situation frightened the people next to me,
"Master Stanley Spencer!" The Gaul general yelled, and the attendant next to him also jumped off his horse and ran over, ran to help the head of the army who was nearly killed
"I'm fine! Leave me alone, order all troops to go down to the river to save people immediately!"
Stanley Spencer, supported by his attendants, struggled to stand up on the ground, pulled out the saber at his waist, and slammed it into the dirt. The sharp blade made a clear penetration sound, and the whole body Supported, raised his head, a white light from the explosion of a Thunderbolt flashed his pale paper face, but in just half an hour, the tragic sight below made his pupils as terrible as bleeding.
This time, it is the 110,000 troops of the Fourth Army of the Gaul Empire who came with him as the northwest commander. These are one of the most loyal imperial warriors and one of the main imperial armies. This Shi is struggling in the narrow river below,
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe such a scene. It was a naked slaughter. Numerous **** of light dragged the red tail and whizzed down. The river course that lasted several miles was like one. Tuantuan was surrounded by fireballs representing death, and at this moment it made a roar of grinning and tumbling. Those reserve teams that had not yet reached the river were completely frightened. The water column that the explosion set off in front of them was as high as more than ten meters, and it was full of human remains. Limbs and pieces of flesh and blood.
Some stumps were blown up on the embankment, and fell in the air like raindrops. They were hung on the poles of the proud bronze battle flag of the Gauls, with heads, feet, and hands. , There are several meters of intestines, and the violent bombardment caused a section of the river for more than one kilometer to almost stop the flow. Because there were too many dead people, the corpses floated and collided in large areas. Entrapped and washed down by the current, it quickly blocked the narrowest part of the river channel.
"Mom, help!" The light flashed, and the people below were crowded, like a group of fried ants,
"Get out!" Despair and fear spread throughout the army. Some self-sufficient Gaul soldiers no longer ignored the military orders, and cut and killed each other in order to climb the safe river embankment as soon as possible. The soldiers near the river bank desperately moved forward, using their weapons to hack at the companions who were blocking in front, and the hot blood rushed to their faces, and everyone went crazy. The whole river is completely messed up, in order to survive, I can’t control so much anymore,
The companion looked at him with incredulous eyes. Just to leave this **** on earth one step earlier, the Gaul soldier kicked his companion's body away without hesitation, on the other end of the river bank. Thousands of Falcon Army pikemen stood in a row on the embankment high above the river bank, looking coldly at the Gauls in the river,
That's the vision of the dead,
In this battle, His Majesty Falcon gave a cruel order that he did not need to leave prisoners. In the face of the menacing Gallic army, Fatty decided to celebrate the self-righteous Gaul emperor for an unforgettable anniversary
This is a gift from the northwest, 170,000 heads from the Gaul army!
"Kill, don't leave one!" The pikemen raised their spears without scruple, and with the stern and murderous command of the infantry captain, the spears were raised high, and then struggling against the Gauls. The top of the head was slammed, and blood rushed out from the heads of the Gauls below. The desperate and unwilling faces fell under the bank, and turned into invisible shadows in the twinkling of Thor's fire.
"Bowmen! Cut off the opposite river! Your majesty ordered, not one left!"
The bowman who retreated before quickly pulled the bowstring behind the heavy infantry. The violent whistling sound of "Beng Beng Beng" immediately filled the surrounding air, like a sudden rainstorm in the night. When the trebuchet was fired, a large number of long-range weapons covered the other side of the river and the river, a dense black spot, in the sky, thousands of arrows pounced on the dam like dense dark clouds. Go up,
"Ah"
The screams of the Gauls are now rising and falling, and the large group of Gaul soldiers who have just climbed to the shore have not yet stood firmly on the river embankment, they are all headed into the water, blood splashed, and the corpse fell into the river again. Here, a piece of scarlet floats on the surface of the river,
The Gaul general from the Emperor’s Guards also had a bleak face. His name was Hukard, the captain of the fifth squadron of the Gaul Guards, a Gaul royal knight, and his duty. It was to protect the personal safety of Lord Stanley Spencer. He was not directly involved in military operations. However, the tragic scene before him made this high-level knight from Gaul Kyoto also frightened. He had protected other generals and participated in the east. The war with the Chinese and Byanians,
The war with blood flowing into a river and corpses all over is not unfamiliar to him, but the scene in front of him is completely beyond his expectation, even he can't even imagine if he is now in such a dead river. In, what kind of scene will it be?
This is not a war for the warriors! Hucard’s heart trembled. This was the naked massacre, the massacre of the victors against the losers. In the northwest of the empire, one hundred thousand imperial warriors wailed under the blow of each other, and fell in pieces until now. , The 100,000 army was able to safely withdraw less than a thousand people ashore! And everyone is injured, one by one, as if crawling out in blood,
Hukard even saw a soldier who went to the river bank to pull his comrades and was directly hacked to death by a comrade who wielded his sword indiscriminately below. Everyone went crazy!
I don’t know why the scene in front of him reminded Hucard that his eldest daughter was standing on the city wall of Kyoto, looking forward to returning. He had never had such hesitation and trance in a war before. ,
As a swordsman among the guards, he knows very well that on the battlefield, when the sword leaves the scabbard, there are only two choices for life and death, but at this moment, his eyes flashed with struggling hesitation.
He doesn't have a son, so he always hoped that his daughter could marry an aristocratic knight so that he could inherit the Huka's family business, but his daughter just liked the guy. Just an idle librarian.
"You are with my daughter, I will break your leg!"
The night when he left dìdū, Hukard did not hesitate to beat the "rascal" violently, causing the always well-behaved daughter to refuse to give herself away for the first time, but in the end, on the wall of dìdū, He still saw the lonely figure of his daughter,
The defeat of the Sino-Byanyan War caused the empire to lose one hundred thousand troops since that war. The news about the war from the empire seems to be mostly negative.
It is not difficult to understand why the emperor, who has just enthroned for a year, attaches so much importance to the Northwest. The empire needs a victory to boost the hearts of the people, and the emperor needs a victory to prove himself
But now he feels fortunate that no matter how brave the empire warrior meets tonight's opponent, he can only turn into pieces of meat, in fact. It is not bad to be the wife of a mediocre library caretaker, at least because of the status of a scholar, the rogue will not be enlisted on the battlefield and does not have to face cruel wars. There is no need to intrigue about the affairs of the nobles, just live ordinary.
"This battle has been lost, and no more people can lose their lives!" A trace of determination flashed in Hucard's eyes, and suddenly he stretched out his powerful right hand and slammed at his subordinates like Stan, who was snarling at him like a mad dog. Libencer. Say loudly, "My lord, the Fourth Army is over! The rescue will only cause us to lose more, as your captain of the guard. I have an obligation to urge you, now we must give an order to evacuate, otherwise, when the other party crosses the river, we will truly The whole army is destroyed! I can’t control the others, but the safety of the adults is my responsibility"
"No, I can't just withdraw like this, I haven't lost, the Empire hasn't lost, my army of one hundred thousand is still fighting, they are fighting..." Stanley Spencer's voice trembled as he spoke to himself. If you don’t believe it, in his eyes, the hot light is like a squeezed and exploded tomato, with red fragments shining in everyone’s pupils, a bunch of things that haven’t been extinguished, more and stronger The light flashed again, illuminating the faces of everyone on the embankment in Gaul,
The brutal battle failed, and the army faced the wailing of death,
The congestion in his brain contained only the idea of saving people. He looked at other people with a grim look. Most of them were similar to him. They were completely frightened. Everyone thought, Lord Stanley must I'm crazy, don't talk about saving people at this time, just thinking of getting closer to the hell-like river, feeling the thighs trembling, hearing Stanley Spencer's desperate command,
"My lord is crazy!"
Hundreds of people look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to come forward.
"If you don't go, then I will go!"
Stanley Spencer yelled desperately and swayed toward the river bank. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. The scene before him turned around and his body fell heavily to the ground, everything fell silent,
There are tears in the corners of his eyes that cannot be concealed, teardrops dripping into the soil on the ground like a broken thread
"My lord is too tired! Exceeding the load capacity of the body." Behind him, Hucard, who was in charge of guarding, turned the sapphire handle of the long sword upside down, and took the sword back in a gorgeous and smooth manner, and probed Stanley with his hands. Binsai’s nostrils,
Only when he found out that Stanley Spencer had no major problems, he stood up,
His sturdy gaze swept across the faces of other people who hadn't recovered. As a proud guard officer, he didn't need to give these guys a good face, and said coldly, "What are you still doing? Did you see Stanley Spencer who was in a coma due to falling off the horse and being injured and exhausted? Don’t lift the adults down yet!"
The fat man stopped the horse, and what appeared in front of him was a dam of human flesh formed by the accumulation of a large number of corpses. A **** stream of water was tumbling sharply. After a fierce battle overnight, the Gaul army that marched north suffered heavy losses.
One hundred eighty thousand troops died in this battle, and more than one hundred thousand were killed in this battle. Tens of thousands of other imperial guards were spared because they had not been fully engaged in the battle as a second-line attack force. The Northwestern Allied Forces also suffered damages of 25,000.
Among them, 19,000 were troops from various forces in the northwest, and another 6,000 were from the Falcon Army on the northwest coast. The damage was not so high originally. The Gaul army suffered devastation during the onslaught in the middle and lower reaches. Let the other troops of the Northwest Allied Forces be so vigorous that there is almost no need for the fat man to issue any orders. The other troops of the Northwest Allied Forces start to flee with arrogance and want to take advantage of the opportunity to beat the dog to make a lot of money, you know, hundreds of thousands The Gaul army, which represented countless incalculable trophies, was beaten by the Gaul Guards before it even tasted the sweetness, causing more than 6,000 casualties. Had to push it back again
Slowly and brightly that day, what appeared in front of everyone was not the warm sunshine, but the white and cold raindrops, like the cry of heaven, the Sona River under the rain, full of it as if overflowing A piece of white fog, you can see countless broken corpses, the majestic scene rolling down the river,
That can no longer be described as spectacular. In the shoal area that has just experienced the most fierce fighting, a large number of impacted debris and corpses have artificially piled up a spectacular dam of flesh and blood, which is hit by the tumbling stream of water that engulfed countless corpses.
The mud is tumbling, the water is gurgling, and there are countless fragments of human limbs that can be seen inside, undulating in the tumbling, and the river that has just calmed up rushes and is extremely tragic. Like countless wraiths struggling up and down in the river of blood and wailing,
"Cross the river!"
The fat man just frowned his eyebrows slightly, waved his face fearlessly, and jumped into the river of blood first.
Although the Gaul army was defeated, the tens of thousands of Gaul Guards were still there. Fatty didn't want to give the Gauls any chance to breathe and issue orders. The army did not even rest, and directly crossed this river of flesh and blood,
The horseshoe set foot on the shallows of the Lower Sona River. The slightly chilly May rain swept on the fat man’s icy helmet, under his horse’s hoof was like blood flowing back, and the black Demon King’s armor was brightly washed away by the rain,
In the white misty rain, the fat man’s black eyes glowed with a halo-like luster, the cavalry in black armor lined up behind him, and the huge golden falcon battle flag was behind them. The horse leaned forward and made a popping vibration,
In the middle and lower reaches of the river, 200,000 troops from the Northwest are crossing the river on a pontoon bridge. The mountains and plains of infantry lances cover the ground in front and behind, and a large number of cavalry ride directly into the river. Wash up the opposite bank in the blood of Gao and the horse belly,
"Your Majesty"
Ahead, Saraon galloping in light armor
"How about your business?" The fat man waved his hand, and the cavalry guards behind him stopped. Saraon stopped the horse a few meters in front, and said with excitement, "Of course there is no problem, I will lead one. Thousands of cavalry took advantage of the night to hand over the problematic food to the people of the Southwest Army at the port. I believe that at this moment, the food will soon be handed over to the evacuated Imperial Guards as rations, but I can’t figure it out. Since we can use the sea, why don’t we directly send cavalry into the enemy’s rear ahead of time, flanking it back and forth, even if there are more Gaul troops, the whole army will be destroyed!"
"Although these 180,000 heads are to be given to the Emperor of Gaul as gifts, they should be used as a waste!" The fat man sneered and said, "Don't forget, just like us, in the southwest, there are people who want to wait. This 180,000 army will die!"
"Your Majesty means Murphy Obune!" A trace of confusion flashed across Salon's face. Could it be that your Majesty allowed these tens of thousands of Gaul Guards to retreat, what does it have to do with Murphy Obune?
"The real winner of this Northwest War is not us!" The fat man took a deep breath and said, "Murphy Obern is an ambitious guy. He seems to be on our side, but he just wants to Use us as a shield"
The fat man’s voice stopped, and he slowly said, "Murphy Obern recruited troops to buy horses in the southwest. In a few months, he was sitting on more than 100,000 jīng sharp, and his power was getting stronger and stronger. This time, the Northwest Commander lost. A hundred thousand army, defeated and retreated to the southwest, is already a mortal situation. If our army is pressed by an army of 200,000, the opponent will inevitably ask for help from Murphy Obern in the southwest. If Murphy Obern is not a fool, he will definitely Seize this opportunity to show to the Gaul Emperor and show his loyalty"
"In this case, in order to win the Southwest to fight the Northwest, the Emperor Gaul will inevitably grant him the position of the Southwest Commander. He can get what he dreams of without spending a single soldier.
"If it is allowed to continue to develop~IndoMTL.com~According to his understanding of our Northwest, if there is an excellent opportunity, who dares to say that it will not become my confidant of the Northwest"
"Then what rations shall we give him?" Saron seemed to think of something
"He wants to take advantage of the fishermen's profit, can't we just let him go back?" "The corner of the fat man's mouth smiles." If someone informs the Northwest General that there is something wrong with the ration provided by Murphy Obern Master Ling, what do you think about the Northwest General Consulate who is thinking about explaining to the Emperor Gaul?
Saron wasn’t a fool either, he immediately reacted, and suddenly said, “He will definitely report the emperor Gaul secretly and push all the blame for this war on Murphy Obern. At that time, there were only two possibilities, one, Murphy. Obern was secretly recalled to Kyoto and killed by the Gaul emperor. Second, Murphy Obern had to fight tens of thousands of Gaul Guards and declared that the Southwest was separated from the Gaul Empire despite his vitality. "
"Not bad!" The fat man nodded. Looking at the magnificent army rushing forward, he said grimly, "The southwest is the only way to the hinterland of the Gaul Empire. I can't always wait for him to make a quick fight and take this opportunity to flatten the southwest and open the way to Gaolu. The great passageway in the hinterland of Lu. At that time, in front of my northwestern army of 200,000, Murphy Obern had only two choices: surrender and destruction! Under the sky, he is not allowed to be a man who seeks benefits from both sides!"
