Power and Empire Chapter 1659: Grid (4)
A mountainous area outside Dutruh Heights
Saron’s horse stopped at the edge of the hill, behind which was a swarm of cavalry over the mountain
Under his cold eyes, a patch of black land came into his eyes, what a wonderful land! Saron licked his lips, his face didn't mean any guilt, he just felt sorry for the food lost due to the harvest,
This year’s western Obaro has a rare good weather, and there is a big harvest everywhere, especially in the northwest. On the land where wars have spread, there are golden wheat waves everywhere. If you can choose, he certainly doesn’t Willing to do such a thing,
Burning unharvested wheat fields will have more than just a lack of food. Anyone who sees the wheat that he has cultivated for a year is burned to ashes by a fire just before the harvest, that kind of cruel The desperate blow is the most deterrent for the locals,
With the full retreat of the Eighth Army of Gaul, the Falcon Army began to accept some cities in the Rusty region. Because of the previous behavior of burning food, these cities almost without exception chose to give up resistance. The brutality seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Gauls have no doubt that once they resist, they will attract cruel revenge from the northwestern rebels. These black demons who can burn the wheat fields without hesitation will not hesitate to obey. The person swung down the butcher knife.
The Gauls call these rebels from the northwest as the magic army, especially the army wearing black armor. When they pass through the city streets neatly, it seems that even the air is filled with a **** smell. , The Gauls were hiding behind the windows and looking at these aliens who had driven into the city. In just a dozen days, scattered wild flowers had grown on these fertile land that had been burned. You can see everywhere on both sides of the road. To embellish it with the pure white face,
If it hadn't been known in advance, such a peaceful scene, absolutely no one would have known all this. Associated with the **** battlefield that is about to unfold.
"Send all armies to rest on the spot! The Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Zhōngyāng Army goes to the opposite side to set up an ambush!"
Saron retracted his gaze from a distance and looked up at the sky. It seemed that it was too early. He turned his head and ordered the commander of the guard behind him. The tens of thousands of cavalry behind him came down from the battle horse with the order, followed by rushing. The infantry team that came, crushed a head of people in black. This time, Saraon was ordered to lead ten thousand zhōngyāng cavalry to cooperate with the Fifth Infantry Standard Regiment to ambush the Gaul army that attacked Dutru Heights from Keyanbao. According to intelligence, the army that came out of Keyan Castle was originally targeted at the Ditru Highlands with empty troops. Strategically speaking, it has considerable foresight and deterrence, which proves that the Gaul Eighth Army’s Hebari is not a fool. , Unfortunately, His Majesty Falcon has done even more ruthlessly and defeated Keyan Fort first. Decapitated Gaul’s Eighth Army with a single blow,
The sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream makes the forest more peaceful, and the afterglow of the falling light is scattered on the tips of the woods, dragging a long tail.
Whether it is the returning bird or the foraging beast, they are far away from this peaceful highland. The zhōngyāng army cavalry unloaded the heavy stirrups from the horses, allowing the horses to graze with their heads relaxed and leisurely. They took out all kinds of weapons and equipment from the weapon slots in the hips of the horses, and placed them carefully on the ground.
The soldiers sat on the ground, gently wiping the bright blade with a moist cotton cloth, with a cautious expression on their faces admiring their most beloved woman. The sun was thin, and the early autumn chill of the forest enveloped the dark woods below.
The wind blows the dark clouds, and there is a black sorrow in the sky. The wind hung over the grass and made a rustling noise among the trees.
"My lord, will the enemy really pass by here?" the captain of the guard next to him asked a little uncertainly
"To be honest, I'm not sure." Saraon was sitting on the ground, examining the topographic map in his hand, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Shocked, the original Eighth Army shrank a large number of defenses. Your Majesty personally arranged the plan. The 40,000 Gaul troops who attacked from Keyanbao have already broken the way to retreat. If the opponent does not want to completely become an abandoned army, the only way is to find a detour. , To avoid the blockade of our army! If the opponent chooses a detour, this is the only way to go. Your Majesty deliberately arranged only a thousand soldiers in the front pass. The opponent's scouts should soon find out that this is their most important place. A good breakthrough!"
"It turns out that if there are only a thousand defenders, the opponent will try desperately even if they know that they may encounter danger!" The captain of the guards has a look on his face
At one o'clock at noon, the sky became clearer, and a messenger rushed in and whispered, "My lord, there is a thick smoke from the pass!"
"It seems to be here, let everyone prepare!" God Saron got up from the ground nervously and raised his head. As expected, he saw a black plume of smoke straight up to the sky in the direction of the pass, and the other cavalry were also nervous. , The horses running towards the edge of the woods one after another,
The "all on horses" cavalry captains called out loudly. The falcon cavalry stepped on their horses and checked the equipment on their bodies. Half an hour later, under the hills where the woods were. The falcons used as decoy queues came along the trails one after another,
The team was a little denser, and hurriedly crossed a red clay ditch, and continued to move forward. No officer came out to maintain the queue, the team passed, and the soldiers were terrified. The weapons and flags in their hands had long been abandoned on the ground as instructed.
"Lasco, this guy, is it a bit too much!"
Saron saw his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Rasco was the officer who served as the decoy this time. He did exactly what the decoy command was, and even did better than required, fleeing in such a disorderly manner. , If you are a commander in Gaul, you will also believe that this is a troop that has been completely defeated.
I'm just a little worried, whether it's a failure to pretend to be too much, at least it is a force of thousands of people. Under his worried gaze, after the decoy defeated army passed, the plain below was silent. The weeds in the distance were swaying with the wind, and the wind blew past.
"My lord, will the enemy come?" The captain of the guard was a little worried,
"Yes!" Salong pretended to be calm, but he was also a little bit unsure in his heart. There is more than one way to bypass the Falcon Army's control area. If the opponent finds something wrong, he can choose at any time. Withdraw,
Twenty minutes later, Saraon’s ears suddenly stood up and came. Everyone’s faces were immediately filled with a strong sense of war
A faint hustle and bustle of soldiers and horses came from the mountain road below. In the direction of the pass, a group of Gaul infantry soon appeared, and then more Gaul infantry, more and more. In a sea of people like water, you can clearly see the flags flying by the Gaul army and the signs of the team, which are the signs of their army.
"Gaul Eighth Army!" Salon stared at the Legion logo that appeared below. For the past two weeks, he was ordered to lead the cavalry to implement the sāo harassment tactics within the Eighth Army. The Legion logo is too familiar. That's right, this is the goal!
Saron grinned slightly. The Gaul army below was the fourth and fifth infantry regiments of the Gaul Eighth Army that he had been waiting for. Both infantry regiments had suffered their own attacks. The army flag is so familiar. The last time I was beaten so badly by myself, this time I fell into my own hands. Is this fate? You can't blame others for this.
"All teams pay attention to safety distance!"
On the Gaul side, Roosegain of the Fifth Army is commanding the army to advance, and the army is advancing quickly. It looked a little messy, and the cavalry and infantry were mixed and advancing. The harsh noise is like a group of sparrows suddenly coming,
The two infantry regiments, the 4th and the 5th infantry regiments of the Gaul Eighth Army were ordered to attack the Dutru Heights from the Keyan Fort. An army of 40,000 people continuously poured out from the pass, and soon filled the plain below, and the queue gradually slowed down.
Roy Gayn, who was in charge of leading the front army, suddenly stopped the horse. The terrain in front of him seldom touched his heart. He felt that the terrain was really dangerous. The two highlands looked down at the middle condescendingly. The easy breakthrough of the previous pass made him feel a little abnormal. This time, his inner hunch became even stronger
"All troops stop advancing!" Roy Gayn raised his hand high and commanded loudly, "Scout, go to the opposite side and take a look!" Hearing the order, a dozen cavalry soldiers were separated from the team. Riding horses to the highlands on both sides are scout cavalry sent to scout the highlands on both sides.
"Send a message to the infantry team! It's time to start"
Saron watched quietly. For such a situation, he had been prepared for this. His Majesty Falcon arranged this ambush himself. Both sides are ambush points. He is cavalry and the other is. Infantry, use infantry as bait and cavalry to make a final decision. This is the arrangement of His Majesty Falcon.
Saron raised his hand slightly, and a guard cavalry behind him quickly took down the assault crossbow behind him in accordance with the order.
Facing the other direction of the hills, a cluster of arrows with blue smoke tails appeared. The blue tails of light flashed in the sky. Because the uplift of the hills blocked the line of sight, they were heading towards this. The Gaul scout cavalry close to the side did not see it,
"It's a signal!"
The pupil of Reposti, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Banner of the Zhōngyāng Army, who was squatting halfway in the grass opposite, shrank slightly.
"Woo, woo" the long bugle suddenly remembered. For an instant, from the grassy high ground on the south side opposite the cavalry ambush, a whole team of falcon crossbowmen suddenly appeared, and three thousand crossbowmen faced each other. The sky raised the crossbow,
"Watch out for the arrow attack", the Gaul scout who discovered the situation yelled in a panic. As soon as the voice fell, the sound of countless sharp arrows tearing the sky was heard, countless black spots rose, and the terrible feeling made The scout cavalry felt the entire scalp explode from the inside out. His shouting was late, and countless clusters of arrows were already like shadows flying by, whizzing from the top of the mound in the distance, from the top of his head, "Papa "Pap" the arrow rain plunged into the Gaolu Junzhong below, bringing up a large crowd of people screaming,
The sharp Mitsubishi arrows, from all angles, plunged deeply into the armors of thousands of Gaul soldiers, carrying a flamboyant and dazzling red sè in their bodies, and countless Gaul soldiers were swarmed by the arrows. The head penetrates, and the whole head is exploded by strong force
"On the high ground on the left, there is an ambush"
The Gaul talents reacted from the horrible situation before them, and the dense arrow rain fell down like pouring raindrops again, "Fill up! Get up!" The Gaul infantry and cavalry were mixed, and the various troops staggered and hindered each other. The soldiers ran around dazedly, the officers screamed hoarse, their horses kicked their hooves eagerly, and ran away frantically, throwing the cavalry above them down, and a group of archers who remained intact were hurriedly transferred to the forefront. Before they could enter the range of the strike, they were turned over by the crossbowman
"My lord, our forward is ambush!"
Roy Gayn, commander of the 5th Gaul Infantry Regiment who just came up from behind, happened to see this scene, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.
The news of the loss of Keyan Fort has arrived, and the regiment commander He Baili died in battle. The entire Eighth Regiment is already without a group of dragons, and all armies are retreating, which means that the tactics previously set by the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Regiments are completely ineffective. Roy Gayn and Mark Yesu immediately chose to return to the army. The road was nowhere to go. As the fat man had expected, the two chose to detour the mountain road relatively off-center.
"At all costs, take down the high ground on the left!"
Roy Gayn soon realized that the number of Northwestern rebels who had ambushed him was not large, which was around five thousand. Immediately ordered the Gaul army to adopt a wave attack, forming a skirmish line to attack from down the mountain to disperse these blocking rebels. The black crowd spread out like a wave and rushed to the left. .
"Long live the Falcon Empire!" On the opposite side of the high ground on the left, the mountain shook suddenly! Soldiers and horses gallop forward, like a storm! Salon led ten thousand zhōngyāng cavalry to pounce behind the Gaul army like chao water,
"Turn your head, the enemy is behind!" Gallic officer called out sternly. The huge queue began to shake, and the soldiers turned their heads hesitantly, turning their spears hurriedly. The densely protruding wave formation hurriedly turned around, and the falcon zhōngyāng cavalry had plunged in like a cluster of arrows. Thousands of dangling sabers swept like metal chao water. The heavy horses ripped apart the Gaul's queue and slammed into the side of the Gaul army. The blades were as bright as snow and dazzling. The horseshoe rumbling.
"Ah"
"Help"
The Gauls resounded with a terrifying cry, seeing the rainbow-like aura of the northwestern rebel cavalry, no one dared to resist on the attack route.
"Go ahead!"Saron took the lead. The war horse under the crotch stepped on the pale Gaul infantry in front of him. The two war knives in his hand smashed down vigorously, and the round heads sprayed with blood in the air. Behind him, the whole row was The Gaul soldiers were trampled by more war horses, and the cold light of their swords flashed under the dark clouds with chilling luster
"Mom, cavalry!"
The Gaul soldiers turned their guns away, discarded their armor, and hurriedly flashed to both sides,
The chaotic array suddenly dispersed like water. The attack line composed of thousands of black cavalry, like a sharp blade cut into the hot butter, hardly received effective sniping. The iron hoof of the zhōngyāng cavalry was already fierce. Pierced into the back of the Gaul army fiercely,
"Papa" With a clear and terrifying tearing sound, the spikes on the front of the Falcon Cavalry’s vest smashed the Gaul infantry's formation, and the Gaul soldiers were knocked out. Otherwise, the corpses were lying on the ground in circles. The corpses were full of cavalry on the road. In terms of numbers, in just the first blow, at least more than a thousand Gauls were killed and wounded to the ground. It was even lying on the ground. In the rocks on the ground that hadn’t dried up, red blood was flowing, and the wounded soldiers lay on the ground and made weak or stern shouts.
A Gaul squadron holding a team flag is like a dam hit by a flood. It was instantly torn apart. Before even the basic resistance, it was trampled by the horses of countless cavalry. 2 The thousand-man team just turned around and met the oncoming cavalry. Although they managed to support it for a while, it was quickly crushed by the multi-layer Falcon cavalry. Thousands of soldiers collapsed. Almost never survived
"It is the cavalry of the Northwestern Rebels!" In the Gaul rear army that has not yet been affected, Roy Gayn watched the steel torrent drowning his team with a pale face. The entire six squadrons of infantry were just like this. In one fell swoop, he was suddenly angry and roared wildly, barking like a pig being slaughtered miserably,
The first encounter was the Fifth Infantry Regiment which he served as the former army, and then it quickly spread to the Fourth Infantry Regiment behind. Thousands of defeated soldiers were as unstoppable as a flood gap. The soldiers lost their helmets and armor. Once the army collapses, it is difficult to recover.
Looking at this miserable scene stupidly, watching my subordinates being slaughtered like lambs by the enemy, watching my painstakingly planned army defeated like a water, in an instant, Roy Gayn and Mark Yesu were two high There were only two words left in Commander Lu’s mind: "Despair~IndoMTL.com~ On a hill not far away, a group of cavalry stood quietly there. The fat man retracted his gaze from the battlefield in the distance and looked up. Sky,
The clouds in the sky are still so unpredictable, and the line of sunset light that is about to fall draws a red line on the horizon in the distance, which seems to indicate something
On July 18, the Gaul Eighth Army went deep into the Dutrou area and the two infantry regiments were quietly assembled by the Falcons to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Over 25,000 Gaul soldiers were killed and 13,000 men were killed. Captured, the final combat effectiveness of the Gaul Eighth Army was also wiped out,
The entire Rasti’s strategic balance has truly fallen to the Falcon Empire. From the fat man’s decision to take the initiative to the end of the raid,
It lasted 12 days and fought 14 times, defeating 73,000 people of the Gaul Eighth Army. Four infantry commanders from the Eighth Army Commander Hebaili died in battle.
Although the number of people annihilated in this battle was not conspicuous in the previous battles of the Falcon Army, it has reversed the strategic initiative of the Gauls in the Rusty region in one fell swoop. The plan for the Southwest Battle of the Gaul emperor painstakingly arranged has been The abortion was announced in advance and forced to switch from a strategic offensive to a strategic defense. . )
