Power and Empire Chapter 1702: Universal Battle (8)
1702 General Match Battle (8)
The third day of the Toronto River Battle
Gangfei Eighth Army Commander Goode stood calmly on a hidden **** behind the river, looking at the camp of the Falcon Army on the opposite side, the setting sun in the distance was shining from the top of the dense forest on the horizon, and the wind was blowing. After passing, the woods by the river made a rustling sound. Through the ditches in front of the woods, one could see the patrol cavalry passing by a falcon army on the opposite river. These were wearing black light armor and energetic light cavalry. The domed leather cap, with a bow on his back, his eagle-like gaze seemed dazzling. The cavalry only glanced at the tidal flat on the opposite side of the river, instead of looking farther away, as if they were on the other side of the river. I don’t care if there is an enemy in ambush
"What the **** is going on?"
Goode took his gaze from the absent-minded patrol cavalry, and the reaction of the opposing Falcon army made him really unable to see through!
Since the first battle broke out fiercely, in the next two days, the Falcon army on the opposite side was doing things that made Goode laugh. They actually camped on the river that had already broken through. The commander of the Falcon Army took a defensive posture in a cocoon, making Goode more and more unable to understand "Is the opponent attacking or defending!" Goode felt a little confused in his heart
" Your lord, Lord Remshat is here! "At this moment, a scout came quietly from behind, and said with a weird expression
"Remshat, what is he doing?"
Goode frowned slightly. At this moment, shouldn't the fellow Remshat strengthen the defense behind? He turned and walked towards the horse brought by the attendant, and said to a scout captain behind him, "Anhuilaier, you stay and continue to monitor the movement of the other side closely!"
"I understand, my lord!" The scout captain nodded and said. At the rear barracks, Good saw Remchart walking back and forth in the camp, holding a letter in his hand. It seemed that something had happened. , Seeing Goode coming in, Remchat hurriedly greeted him,
" Master Goode, has the enemy been moving these days?" Remchat hesitated on his face before asking suddenly,
" What's the matter, Lord Remshat wants the Falcons to launch a fierce attack on my Eighth Army?" Goode glanced at Remshat, who was indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly displeased. Putting aside, "If this is the case, then your Excellency may be disappointed." Goode said confidently. "Since being hit by our army in the river, the Falcons have been badly injured. These days, they have died down. It seems that It seems that I have lost my plan to advance north! To be honest, after all the soldiers of our Eighth Army fight bravely, the enemy's ambition to harass His Majesty the Emperor’s main force has been smashed, and the initiative of the general battlefield is firmly in the empire. In the hands..."
" Master Goode, if this is the case, then I can only say that things are starting to get worse! "Remshat's face changed, interrupting Goode's conceit of continuing to be arrogant,
" Remchat, what do you mean? I know that you are dissatisfied with my Eighth Army’s achievement of such a glorious achievement, but you can’t say that." Goode grunted with a sullen face, his tone of voice There is serious dissatisfaction. "For you, the blood of my Eighth Army, with countless casualties, and the success of the Falcon Army marching northward, is your happiest thing?"
"Of course this is not what I mean, Master Goode, don't get me wrong!"
Remshat's face turned pale, raised his hand, and there was a report representing urgent red, and he said in a flustered manner, "There have been some accidents. I just received a report from Kyoto, just three days ago. , The Falcons in the direction of Lisbon are divided into two groups, all the way to Putao North Road, which is the one we are fighting against, and another cavalry unit of about 7,000 people is between you and me. After this army moved to the northern part of Butau, it quickly passed through your defense zone and drove towards the direction of Imperial Kyoto!"
"What! From our defense zone!"
Goode's face was shocked, his eyes were disbelieving, after reading the report, the content above made him stay there and lost his senses. This time he was really embarrassed and lost his home. He was alone in the Toronto River. At that time, another Falcon Cavalry had already crossed the border between the Empire and General Tau from its original defense zone, and rushed towards Gangfei Kyoto with swift force
"I think so!"
Remshat nodded bleakly. "As you know, the general battlefield has emptied the border troops on the border, and now there are only three squadrons left, plus I didn’t expect the Falcons. The army will kill from its own defense zone. The border guards did not even have the most basic reaction. The cavalry group that came from the impact was defeated and killed more than half of them. Even the most important fortress on the border, the Karens Fortress, was also killed. The other party succeeded in the surprise attack. In some cases, the Imperial Kyoto has been exposed to the blades of the Falcon Cavalry!"
"What about the Ninth Army, isn't the Ninth Army still has fifty thousand elites near Kyoto? What are they doing?" Goode shook his spirits and recovered from the shock. The angry general reported. Twisted into a ball and asked with bloodshot eyes
"It's useless, the enemy's blow is too fast!" Remshat smiled bitterly, and shook his head helplessly
"The Ninth Army and us are arranged in a triangular shape. They are separated by fifty miles. At the speed of the Falcon Cavalry, even if the Ninth Army can respond, it will not be able to quickly counterattack in a short time. In order to stop the enemy The cavalry approached Kyoto, and the Ninth Army has ordered the line of defense to be shrunk."
Remshat’s voice stopped, and his eyes flickered.
"The most dissatisfaction with the military department now is that the northward Falcon army, which has spent two legions to block, is just a decoy to lure us."
" The opponent’s target has always been Imperial Kyoto. The Falcon Army has entered the country. Kyoto has fallen into a huge panic. Everyone thinks that behind the 7,000 Falcon cavalry, there should be more Falcon troops. Only relying on the 9th Army can not withstand the full attack of the Falcons!
"The tycoons of Kyoto surrounded the Ministry of Military Affairs and collectively accused the Ministry of Military Affairs of dereliction of duty and ignoring the century-old glory of the empire. Under pressure, the Ministry of Military Affairs strictly ordered us to defeat this northern Falcon Army in the shortest possible time. Quickly return to the Ninth Army in Kyoto!"
"Break the Falcon Army marching north, and return to Kyoto! Do those lords of the Military Affairs Department think this is a family game?" Good looked angrily and thought of attacking the Falcon Army head-on like a locust The rain of arrows, this strong and fierce general is also hairy in his heart
"The enemy passed through our defense zone! As far as responsibility is concerned, you and I can't be blamed!" Remchat smiled distressedly
"Well, I agree that the returning army will attack the Falcon Army with you, but can you guarantee that what we are facing is really just the decoy army of the Falcon Army?" Goode asked with an ugly face
"I can't guarantee." Remchart shook his head and took a deep breath. "I can only say that even if the opponent is not a decoy unit, at least we can reduce the pressure on the Imperial Kyoto side, otherwise this team will move north. The army turned to Kyoto and flanked back and forth, and the Ninth Army might really be over. I am afraid that you and I will also be charged with greed and fear of death! Instead of doing this, it is better to fight hard!"
The Toronto river flows away, the river rolls up with billowing waves, and the sky becomes a little gloomy on the fourth day. The thick black clouds linger like cotton balls, piled higher and higher, between the sky and the earth, Like a huge eye, watching the earth below
"Patrol, is there any situation?" Nishiba Qianqi Commander Ahri reached out to stop a group of passing patrols, raised his head and looked at the terrible sky above his head. The cold air in early spring was full of damp smell, according to His experience on the grassland, this is a sign before the heavy rain,
"Nothing, to be honest, I don't even know what we are looking for!" The patrol captain shrugged, his face slumped in response, and he patted his stocky horse with his hands. The river, there is no need to patrol at all. It is fifty meters wide. Even if the enemy wants to launch a raid, it is a very difficult task. What is going on? Why are we camping here, but it’s just a river. Just ride over. I don’t believe that the iron tank troops like the previous few days can really stop the scimitars of our prairie people!"
"That's the same, but it's just some heavy infantry, I haven't encountered it before!" said a patrol cavalry next to it
"Shut up, patrol is the order of King Khan! Just execute the order, whoever talks more, cut off his tongue immediately according to the clan decree."
Akhri raised his whip, with a serious command that the patrolling cavalry dared not say any more, quietly, in the steppemen's troops, the majesty of the superiors is beyond doubt. According to the steppemen’s words "Fengrui" The more scimitars you have, the better, but only one tongue for commanding is enough!"
"Woo" at this moment, the horns of the situation came from the front,
"Attention, enemy!"
There was a loud voice from the sentry on the riverside, and Qianqi Commander Ahri and the other patrol cavalry quickly turned their heads. The dazzling cold light caused their eyes to narrow into a line unconsciously. Sure enough, On the opposite side where there was nothing, the Crusader flag that appeared a few days ago flashed from side to side, like a forest of rigid iron slowly rising from the horizon, the formation of infantry in blue heavy armor, countless towering towers Long spears, dozens of queues composed of tens of thousands of shields, look very solemn under the ink sky
"Ready to fight!"
The Falcon Army troops in the entire riverside camp moved quickly. The temporary wooden fence erected a whole row on the riverbank. On the inner side of the fence, 5000 skilled crossbowmen of the Imperial Central Army lined up in four and a half. The arc-shaped strike formation, half squatting behind these wooden fences, the crossbow in his hand is held flat, and the sharp crossbow arrows cast a chilling light in the cold air,
"All in line! Hurry!"
Akhri ran back to his thousand-man team, waving his whip, rudely drove the rest of his men out of the tent. Akhri’s troops were on the left side of the Imperial Central Military Camp. With the Imperial Central Army as the center, the Xiting troops of 15,000 people spread out along the river bank, and there was no slack on the face of fighting spirit.
The war has come! If there was a hint of dissatisfaction with King Khan’s arrangement before, now he has forgotten this, because he is looking at the Imperial Central Military Camp 200 meters away from his left, the huge and ferocious Falcon King is flying in the cold wind.
That is the battle flag of King Falcon Khan. Being able to fight under such a great God of War will be the most glorious thing in Ahri’s generation. Ahri felt that his blood was boiling, riding a war horse, Flew past in front of his subordinates like a cluster of arrows, shouting "vertical bow!"
The whole row of bows were bent towards the ink-colored sky. The bowstrings were quickly tightened and a gurgling sound was made. The silent aura of the tens of thousands of armies of both fathers and fathers, under the gloomy sky, was like a scrubbed bright Li Jian was thinking about shredding the target in front of him. "Booming rumbling"" A muffled thunder rolled across the sky, shrouded the world in a desolate place. The falcon battle flag and the crusade flag on the opposite side were both blown by the gale, as if they were about to bang. The drum of war, a rush of murderous air rushes towards Xiao Han
"Attack!"
just a non-heavy infantry squadron, concentrated on the narrowest part of the river. A heavy squadron jumped into the river first. The water was not deep, and the shield was brightly washed by the river, and it was like the same on the rushing river. Layers of fish scales are shining with cold light, and the infantry shield stands in front, covering the infantry behind to wriggle forward,
"Shoot!" The whole row of West Court archers across the river raised their powerful compound bows to the sky. With the sharp shout of shooting, thousands of arrows directed toward the river like a dense black cloud. The iron tortoise on the top rushed forward. The Gangfei soldier on the side of the shield was shot and fell into the water before he could stand. The blood splashed, and there were patches of scarlet floating on the surface of the river, but no one cared about this. More Gangfei The heavy infantry jumped into the river. In the shallowest section of the river, the river water only submerged the heavy infantry’s chest.
was sent to the first wave of troops, they were all the real elites specially selected by the Eighth Army Commander Goode
Three thousand elite infantrymen, using the river water to protect their bodies, holding high shields to block their heads, the arrow clusters on the opposite side were weakly shot into the river water, and they were unable to shoot through the heavy infantry in the water layer under the condition of resistance in the water. Thick armor
The heavy soldiers were advancing hard in the river, and clusters of arrows hit the shield like raindrops, making clanging sounds. As the river gradually shallowed, the heavy infantry began to fall one by one. But no matter how fierce the arrows are, they just hold up their shields and bow to avoid them, but no one stops, no one shrinks, no one makes a sound, they just approach with persistence and silence, and then they approach, even if they are shot by the arrow. In the middle, they are still moving forward little by little in the river, as if their belief in forward hasn't been extinguished until death!
"Flap!Flap! Pop!"The slings made an arc in the air and flew in the direction of the Falcon Army. A loud bang hit the erected wooden platoon. This was Remshat’s troops. Behind the Eighth Army, they used a large number of catapults to suppress the shooters on the riverside. The West Court shooters’ formation was hit. Flesh and flesh fly,
"Go forward!" Remchart personally instigated the horse, and took the lead in facing the arrow rain from the opposite side, leading three thousand cavalrymen to leap into the river in front, stirring up countless splashes of water, and the infantry captains behind them used With all my strength, he shouted, "Kill those who retreat before the battle!"
"Go ahead! Go ahead!"
The whole army showed a determination to break the arm of a strong man, and he kept jumping into the river with a determined will. Remshat’s miscellaneous troops used the simplest wooden planks to push the swaying ship, and launched a charge on the opposite side. , Quickly built a pontoon bridge floating on the river, paving the way for more heavy infantry behind,
"Good job!"
Goode looked excited to see the first team of heavy infantry rushed to the opposite river beach, and was crossing several deep trenches on the river beach. The opponent's shooter's counterattack was so weak, it was completely invisible that the last time was as dense as locusts. A terrifying sight like a eater, it really is a decoy force, I am afraid that the real strength will be lost long ago! As long as there is a force on the opposite side, it means that there will be more troops on the opposite side. The large number of shooters on the other side has become a cumbersome at this moment. Without the cover of the river, these shooters with weak melee capabilities are the biggest opponents. 'S weakness
No one noticed that at the position of the Falcon Army’s main formation, the wind blew a golden falcon flag,
Fatty's eyes narrowed slightly into a line, like cold light spreading to the distance, opening an army formation like a blue ocean wave!
"It seems that Gang Feiren has been fully pressed!"
Felandunya uttered a low voice next to him. This time, Gang Fei was an all-out force. In addition to the heavy infantry, which numbered about 30,000, there were also about 3,000 Gang Fei cavalry, 10,000. There were mixed infantry formations from left to right, some well-built catapults were slowly moving along with the troops. She didn’t know what method the Vicia Falcon used. In just a few days, she forced the two armies in the Gangfei region. From defensive to offensive, and still so desperately pressing on, it’s almost like it’s designed,
"The Toronto River in front of you~IndoMTL.com~ is about to be slain by the killings." Filantonia, who knew the truth, felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. The previous dense arrow rain made the other party forget an important thing. , They are not only facing shooters, but also cavalry groups that are far more offensive than infantry.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's vanguard has reached the river beach!"
A warrior of the Western Court Qianqi came galloping forward. The equestrian skillfully strangled the horse in front of King Falcon Khan and reported loudly. Behind King Falcon Khan, there were a full 10,000 soldiers. The cavalry in the court lined up, and the neatly arranged cavalry armor can’t be seen at a glance,
No one made a sound, only the iron piece of the war horse occasionally made a few light dings,
Under the black leather helmet, there are thousands of Xiting cavalry's eyes flashing with a strong desire to kill,
The patrols along the riverside are just to cut off the eyes of Gangfei scouts who may find abnormal forces.
"Prepare!" The fat man snorted, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, his right hand was slowly raised, and lifted into the air. The air seemed to be still at this moment, everything was waiting, countless His gaze fell on the right hand raised high by King Falcon Khan, and the horses in the front row were kicking the ground restlessly, whispering in a low voice, even they were suppressed by the murderous aura bred in the silence.
