Power and Empire Chapter 1724: Imperial Tiger Ben (1)
The night is like water, the wind blows across the field, and the grass and woods are buzzing. The March night is not cold, but it will definitely not be a kind of coolness, especially for the battle in Nase City For the defeated Northwest Army Corps in China, the wind blows tonight’s face with an icy sense of mockery "pop"
The brazier in the camp was blown by the wind, and a red fire was scattered like stars, shining on the embarrassing face of every Northwest Army general in the tent, flickering and dimming, inside the dignified large tent , Feel the pressure even breathing
The generals of the Northwest Army of the Empire stood on both sides one by one, and the atmosphere did not dare to kick it,
At the place where the generals’ eyes were focused, Northwest Army Commander Crolitsart, with a solemn expression, picked up the war damage report that had just been counted, and said coldly
"Why don’t you guys speak anymore? Who clamored when they were in the country? The Gaul army is a group of incompetent soldiers. Defeating them is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand! From northwest to southwest, if there is a northwest If the legion participates in the war, what are the advantages of Salong’s Northern Army there! Now it’s time to show your strength, give this result?"
Crolissat’s voice stopped, his eyes flashed, a pair of eyes looking at his subordinates burst into flames of anger, an expression of wanting to kill, and the report in his hand fell heavily on the table in front of him, Crowe Lisat looked at everyone angrily, and said sharply, "Take it for yourself. This is the first battle of my Northwest Army in the Obaro continent. It's really a brilliant record of laughter!
The main force of the army of 30,000 people stormed an inconspicuous city, and it was hit hard by the counterattack.
The first squadron of the assault battalion suffered 331 casualties, and the second squadron suffered 185 casualties. The third squadron had 446 people... the assault battalion had a total of 2,713 casualties, and the shooter battalion had 577 casualties. The total number of casualties in the entire corps exceeded 3,000, which was more than one-tenth. another. The sixth squadron leader Deminke died in the battle, the assault battalion's first deputy captain Peyer died in the battle, and 13 officers at all levels were killed in the assault battalion. Is this your first battle result? "
The series of casualties in Crolisat’s mouth made the northwestern generals ashamed. They lowered their heads and wanted to bury their heads. It’s too embarrassing. When will the Northwest Army of the Empire that cross the continent of Icadiva suffer? After such a frustrated record,
"As for the situation in Gaul. As you have seen, the Gaul flag that is still flying on the wall is the answer! Shame, this is the defeat that my Northwest Army has never had since its establishment!" Lolisart’s voice was so excited that she was about to lift the top of the tent, and her angry nose was crooked
Originally, as soon as the Northwest Army had passed through the Seine, it went straight to that color, unreservedly, the whole army pressed on, attacked fiercely like a tide, three hundred trebuchets were fully activated, and 15,000 shooters covered the city wall. Suppress. Morale is like a rainbow, leaving no room for resistance to the Gauls. No matter how you look at the victorious Libra power, it is completely falling to your side, such a saturated long-range strike. It was enough to directly destroy the guardian's confidence, but there was an accident in the fact. The Gaul's combat power was really average, and it collapsed from the beginning. But the rest of the battle was suddenly out of control, and no one knew what had happened to Gaul, and he fought back. It disrupted the rhythm of the Northwest Army’s offensive,
Although Crolithart believes that his Northwest Army has been shelved in the Dorok Mountains for a year, regardless of its combat power and will to fight, there will be a significant decline, but he still maintains an optimistic attitude towards this battle.
"The edge of the Empire’s First Army is a small town that hastily challenged!" But the cruel display tells him that the Gauls are not as vulnerable as they seem. The defeat in this battle is enough to fluctuate the whole The battle situation, this is the defeat that the Northwest Army has never had since the establishment of the Northwest Army. It is also a shame that the Falcon Army, known as the number one siege, has never had. Such news spreads. If tomorrow is still not enough, the whole The Northwest Legion will become the laughing stock of the Empire’s military"
Crolithat’s gritted teeth is terrible. His long bones are broad and his face is heavy. At this time, he is like a wounded beast under the firelight. A trace of cold air is shaking in the cold night of early spring. The temperature in the tent appeared to have dropped a few degrees, and the generals bowed their heads in embarrassment, not daring to look at the boss’s angry eyes,
Everyone realizes that this defeat means that the revival of the Northwest Army has begun to become a distant future.
Everyone had high hopes for this war. The Falcon Army and the Gallic Army were stuck in the Rusty region for a whole winter. His Majesty Falcon broke the glued first battle to the Northwest Army, which excited the entire Northwest Army. I have been working hard for several days, but the battle of the estuary, I was a spectator for nothing, and the location of the estuary of that color can be called the fate of the Gaul army. It can be said that the battle of that color is the decision between the Falcon and Gao. The battle between the two armies of Lu, who only cares about life and death, according to the combat power of the Northwest Army, as long as you win that color and open the gate to the center line where the heavy troops of Gaul are gathered, the influx of battleships is enough to pry the foot of the 400,000 Gaul troops. And then shake the entire Gaul line of defense,
This is definitely the first contribution of this battle. I don’t know how many legions are eager to take it. At the same time, it is undoubtedly also the case for the Northwest Legion, which is eager to restore the reputation of the Empire’s First Army and show its strength to the empire’s military. A stand-up battle that cannot be missed,
Unfortunately, war has always been unpredictable. Since ancient times, no general has dared to guarantee that he will win absolute victory.
The raging sense of shame burns the soul of every Northwest Army general like a blazing flame. Amid the grief and indignation roars of Crolithat, a Northwest Army general first one knee in the military tent Kneeling down, bowing his head, and said sincerely, "My lord, don't say it anymore. The first defeat in this battle is in the assault camp, and the subordinates request to lead the team to attack the city overnight! If tomorrow morning, if the subordinates cannot stand on the city of that color , The head of that subordinate must be on that colored wall!"
This general is the general of the Northwest Army’s assault battalion that is responsible for siege of the city. Although it is called the assault battalion, it is actually an integrated infantry flag regiment with a number of 7,000 and divided into seven squadrons. This time the battle was damaged. The most serious was the assault battalion. Many soldiers fought desperately in the counterattack from the Gauls. "My lord, the Fifth Banner is willing to attack from the side with the assault battalion! "Another general knelt down with a face." The Sanqi regiment is willing to act as an assist. Regardless of the cost, assist the assault battalion to break into the city wall... "A general knelt down, and everyone’s faces flashed with determination,
The first battle on the Obaro continent. I gave the Northwest Army a very tragic dismissal. "Okay, this is my Northwest Army!"
Crolitsat raised his hand resolutely and glanced at the black sky outside the tent. There were no stars, but he believed that this dark sky would soon be burned by the bombs from the siege. Illuminate, the helpless battle situation is like the early spring and the cold wind swept through the hearts of every Northwest Army Corps.
is like a storm passing by. This empire’s elite army has been frustrated with arrogance and resentment for a year. In this cold wind, it is instantly unknown where to fly,
climbed up the city wall and was driven off in an embarrassing manner. This is undoubtedly like being slapped in public by the Northwest Army, which is accustomed to sweeping the enemy by arrogant soldiers. This defeated siege. At this time, the fighting spirit of the entire Northwest Army has been inspired.
Who is still in the mood to complain about His Majesty Falcon’s eccentricity? There is only one thought in everyone’s heart: "No matter the cost, take that color"
"Your Majesty, your majesty's order!" The report came from outside. Interrupting Crolitsart, who was about to issue an overnight siege order, he turned around and looked at the door unexpectedly, only to see an attendant hurriedly walking in with the order book. The sealed baking varnish has the unique falcon heraldic seal of His Majesty Falcon. "Your Majesty's order arrived at this time! I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse!" He took the order book. Crolitsat was hesitant in his heart. He gently opened the red seal with his hands, spread the commands inside with both hands, glanced over, his face was slightly stunned, and he retreated according to the same path! How could it be such an order? Crolithat was unwilling to read it again and was sure it was such an order.
"Is your Majesty questioning the capabilities of the Northwest Army? Or are there other arrangements?" Crolithat frowned slightly, and five fingers pinched the report in his hand, his heart was full of confusion, as he watched Come, although the battle of Nasi did have a bad start, the Northwest Legion, one of the main forces of the empire, still reached the important target Nasi city as scheduled. This in itself is a strategic victory, just like the dagger has already forced the opponent. The neck, regardless of whether the stab is pierced or not, has already caused a terrible sense of threat to the opponent
only needs to attack again, and his Northwest Legion will definitely be able to break through the inland throat of that color
retreating now is undoubtedly abandoning the entire strategic layout, and may even be counterattacked by the Gaul army. All the advantages obtained by the Eastern Front will be lost. It is indeed a somewhat incredible order! Isn't it false information? Crolitsat’s footsteps walked back and forth under the eyes of everyone, and he did not speak for a long time. "What is your majesty's order?"
In the silent air, the generals in the northwest look at me and I see you. I can’t figure out the situation at all. The fighting spirit has been ignited. I only waited for the commander of the army commander, but the army commander was uncertain and hesitant. An unknown omen flashed in the hearts of all the generals,
...The generals dare not think about it, Lord Crolitsart’s abnormality must be related to the order of His Majesty Falcon. It is probably a very unacceptable content. Look at Crolitsat The eyebrows were almost twisted into a Sichuan character on their foreheads, and the generals were wondering in their hearts. "Your Majesty ordered us to retreat in the same way!" Crolitsat stopped and placed the order on the table. Slowly speaking, he knows what kind of fluctuations this order will cause once this order is announced, and the color city in front of him is at his fingertips. Is it necessary for the entire army to withdraw in such a shameless defeat?
Crolithat looked very unwilling! But this is an order from His Majesty Falcon! It is a military order, who dares to disobey! If there is the defeat of that color first, and then the defiance of the military order, it is estimated that the commander of the army can not bear the punishment! "Retreat!"
Sure enough, the generals below were suddenly shocked, "Impossible, did you get it wrong!"
At this moment, a light cavalry wearing a lightweight leather armor galloped into the camp, pulled his horse violently, ran into the military account with a report in his hand, and knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, the outer scout An emergency report came, and a large number of Gaul troops approaching Nase were found in three directions, southeast and west! Its cavalry troops were less than 15 miles away from Nase"
"15 li!" There was a sound of inhalation in the military tent, and the northwest generals looked at each other, their faces turned pale, 15 li! Crolitsat also had an extremely ugly face, and the first feeling was that the enemy came so fast! The second feeling is that the back is cold. According to the speed of the cavalry, the distance of 15 miles may be less than an hour. The city is a flat area. Even the entire Eastern Front is a huge river flooding the plain. Once entangled by the cavalry, unless you can wipe out the opponent, there is no possibility of getting rid of the opponent at all.
The enemy rushed forward quickly. This sharp soldier was obviously holding such a plan. He felt fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, he expanded the scout range to a distance of 20 miles in accordance with His Majesty Falcon’s forcible request. Otherwise, this time it would be fine. It's not just as simple as encountering a dishonest hitting the wall
"Come here. Order all troops to retreat along the river! Burn all the trebuchets and large equipment! Don’t shed anything for the Gauls, contact the troops chasing the 15th Gaul Corps and ask them to immediately The main force of the legion moves closer! We may be in big trouble"
Once he made up his mind, Crolithart was always decisive. He skillfully issued a series of orders, showing the orderliness of an empire general. The whole army had to withdraw, although the Northwest Army was not afraid of cavalry. However, under such an indistinguishable night, encountering an assault by an enemy cavalry unit will inevitably be very embarrassing
Besides, behind this cavalry unit, a large number of infantry followed. Once caught in entanglement, it is basically the fate of being encircled and annihilated.
On that colored city wall, the nervous Gaul soldiers looked at the Falcon troops slowly leaving below, and began to talk a lot. Because they were besieged, the Gaul soldiers did not know that a large number of Gaul reinforcements were quickly approaching Naze, and the Falcon Army was urgently assembled below. Make everyone very nervous, and look at the bottom with a probe
"How does it look like the enemy is retreating!" A soldier looked down and hesitated and said, "No, are you dazzled!" The other soldier curled his mouth in disdain, and stretched his head down. Suddenly fires ignited one after another, illuminating the wilderness, and the huge outline of the lit trebuchet was visible. The soldier was so scared that he stuck out his tongue. "It turned out to be a trebuchet, but it seems to be retreating!"
"Regardless of whether it is really withdrawing or not, prepare quickly, we must attack!" A young officer boldly said excitedly, "If I guessed correctly, it should be our reinforcements, but we can't. Just watch them slip away like this! ""Anling Tower, where are you going!"
A majestic voice stopped the footsteps of the young officer. A figure staggered under the protection of several guards. It was George Wood, the 16th garrison commander who was patrolling the city wall with the guards. The upper and shoulders were covered with gauze, and there were burn marks on the ankles. The fierce fighting caused slight injuries to the leader of such a Gaul garrison.
A cluster of arrows from the Falcon Army shot through his hand armor in the chaos, and the arrow penetrated deeply into his small hand bones. Because of the emergency, he just used the sword to cut off the cluster of arrows that exposed his arm. As a result, there is still another piece left in the arm. The gauze wrapped around the arm can see the blood stains oozing out." Your lord, the enemy is retreating. I guess our reinforcements are about to arrive. The enemy is scared, we should catch up! Kill them! One piece of armor is not left!" The young officer saw George Wood, stood up straight with all his strength, saluted, and answered with admiration. If it weren’t for George Wood’s iron-fisted means, the city would have been broken long ago, and he was in a counterattack. , George Wood did not hide behind like those commanders who were greedy for life and fear of death, but took the lead and charged with the guard on the front line. The five hundred guards, now there are less than one hundred left! "The enemy is retreating? Why didn't I see it, and does it have anything to do with us?" George Wood looked at the outside of the city, and then at the full camp of wounded soldiers who are still guarding the city wall. More than half of them are wounded. Soldier, this can’t be pursued, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his expression dimmed, “Our task is to guard that color, not to chase the enemy~ IndoMTL.com~ If the enemy really retreats, if there are reinforcements, Just leave it to them!" "My lord, this is a kind of evasive responsibility. Are you not afraid of being held accountable" The young officer said with an ugly face and a little dissatisfaction.
"Shocking responsibility? A cold light flashed in George Wood's eyes, which was shocking. "We withdrew thousands of people and withstood the fierce Falcon Army's 30,000 onslaught, and held on until reinforcements arrived. This is also a shirk. responsibility? , You are a nobleman, you have your own war horse, even if you encounter danger, you can withdraw it calmly, but what about others,"
George Wood stopped his gaze on the young officer, staring and saying, ‘The entire garrison is 8,000 people, and there are less than 3,000 people standing here now! I am afraid that there are less than 2,000 people who can fight, and the enemy under the city has lost more than 20,000 people. Do you want them to die? We don't have extra energy to carry out the pursuit, but in such a night, attacking without authorization, it is easier to fall into the trap that the enemy has already ambushed! "Allowing the disabled enemy to retreat calmly is not the attitude that a superior should have!" The young officer held his head up and looked dissatisfied
"It’s the duty of those of us who survived to live, stick to that color, and not let those who died in the battle die in vain. As for the merits, leave it to other troops. It is already the first to be able to hold that color. "Gong" George Wood smiled distressedly at the corner of his mouth, and reached out and patted the young officer's shoulder. "I won't agree to other people. If you want to be alone, I can let it go!"
