Power and Empire Chapter 1871: Wall Rock Fort (2)
"Master Randolph, the rear army has collapsed and the Chinese army has also been affected. The enemy's cavalry will soon be killed. Let's evacuate immediately!" There were routs everywhere, and the guard cavalry captain looked blank. I would rather loudly urge Randolph who stood still to escape immediately,
"Evacuate? Where to evacuate?" Randolph was in a daze when he heard this word, and subconsciously asked.
" The road in front of Kyoto has been cut off, of course it is to go back to the wall rock fort!" The captain of the guard cavalry gestured to the cavalry behind him, and one of the cavalry skilfully took out a set of things from the horse bag and handed it to Lun. Astoria "Replace this, my lord! When I left the wall rock fort, I specially prepared a copy for it"
"Back to the wall rock fort? This is?"
Randolph just wanted to say something, his eyes swept over the things in his hands, his face changed,
is an ordinary soldier's armor, brand new and shiny, and you can see that it has not been used at first glance, it is specially used for escape! This thought made Randolph feel an unbearable humiliation,
"Assholes, this is a cowardly act of you!" Randolph looked at his guard cavalry captain angrily, his face pale, his body trembling with anger, when did the Imperial Guards have fallen to this level , How did this guy become the guardian of the empire! ,
"We are just retreating, and putting on our clothes is just an act of insurance!" The captain of the guard cavalry looked at him dissatisfied, and said in a tone of voice, "Our army has been defeated. No matter how hard you insist, you can't save the situation. It's such a mess. , The ground is broken, the enemy will not notice us if we put on the armor of the soldiers! The wall rock fort where the army is located is only fifteen miles away, as long as we escape the front col, we will be safe! Change clothes quickly Well, we don’t have time!"
" You guys... What a shame to the Imperial Guard!" Randolph raised his hand to the captain of the guard, his lips trembling almost speechless
" Your lord, I think you forgot. We are not the Imperial Guard!" The captain of the Cavalry Guard sneered and winked at a companion next to him. This guy is really stubborn and can't be delayed. , Or you really have to die here!
"You..." Randolph's face changed and he thought of something, a trace of contempt flashed across his face, and he said arrogantly, "I was wrong. You lowly people are not qualified to be here. Go away. I won't go, even if I die, I won't... Ah" Randolph held his head up and said that he was going to fight to the end. Suddenly he felt a huge pain in the back of his head. The sky and the earth were spinning, and he saw the sky and the earth. Tilt,
"Damn, this bastard's head is really hard!" A stubble-faced guard cavalry appeared from behind him, holding a **** sword hilt in his hand. The cheap sapphires above are all cracked into several pieces,
"Really, these soldiers are thinking about everything, it's all like this. This guy is still thinking about insisting, does he want everyone to be buried together!" Someone complained.
" Okay, don't delay! Put on his clothes quickly. "The captain of the cavalry showed a trace of hideous expression. Several guards and cavalry were in a hurry to put the armor of ordinary soldiers on Randolph. Then drag Randolph, who has passed out, to a war horse
"Captain, what if I cannot be held accountable afterwards?" a guard cavalry with a yellow face said worriedly
"Yes, yes. A sturdy-looking guard cavalry agreed. He looked at the chaotic surroundings, touched the position of his calf with his right hand, and quietly pulled out a portable short tied to his calf. Sword, the blade is sawtooth shape, sharp and fierce
"La Stanley, what are you going to do!" the captain of the guard cavalry asked sharply
"Head, this guy is very vengeful. Last time, because you forgot to call his name, you tied you to a wooden stake and beat him with 30 lashes. I wanted to kill him a long time ago. It's better to solve it now. Forget it!" The cavalry's dagger reached Randolph's throat with a faint, **** sharp serrated blade. There was a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and the blade cut into Randolph’s skin. The red blood was left along the blade. The surroundings were chaotic. The soldiers were all rushing to escape. When they saw several guard cavalry around Randolph, they thought this name. The wounded general is being bandaged,
"La Stanley, don’t rush to do it." Suddenly, the captain of the guard seemed to have thought of something, and quickly yelled to stop the subordinate’s behavior.
"What's wrong, head, are you going to let this guy live to avenge us? "The cavalry raised his head unexpectedly,
"I don't care if he is dead or not! It's just that he can't die here!" The captain of the guard cavalry strangled his horse, looked at the louder and louder voice of jī fighting ahead, and said, "Don't forget, According to the rules of the emperor, the lord will not withdraw and the guards cannot be withdrawn. The lord will die and the guards must be buried. If he dies here, we will not live!"
"It’s really bad luck! It’s troublesome to be chased at first, so I have to bring such a burden!"
The cavalry scolded and swung his wrist, inserted the serrated dagger into the scabbard on the leggings, spit on the ground, and reluctantly put the fainted Randolph on his horse again, which was less than twenty minutes away from Wall Rock Fortress. In the distance, there is time to deal with him on the road, just make sure that he does not breathe before reaching the wall rock fort! "
, at this moment, the earth was trembling violently, and the black side pressed the subway wall and rushed over here!
" Attention! Falcon cavalry! "Someone is yelling
"Punch!"A shocking white line burst out from the galloping cavalry group. The cavalry called La Stanley was shot through the big leg with an arrow, blood spattered, bleeding through the arrow. , There was a staggering wailing in his mouth, he wanted to run on the horse, flutter, the second white feather arrow shot in from his shoulder, and then the third one. . . . .
" La Stanley! "The captain of the guard was stunned by the sudden situation in front of him, turned his head and looked, his face suddenly turned pale. I didn't expect the Falcon Cavalry to advance so fast, it was like an iron wall of killing. It is rapidly expanding, even occupying all of his vision!
is wrapped in a metal surface, only two strong horses with eyes like giant beasts are exposed. The whole body is shining with silver, and the black cavalry on it is like a demon rushing out of the hell.
"Kill! "The cold light was everywhere, and the **** head fell from mid-air, and was trampled by galloping horseshoes and countless feet
"Papa" The infantry group in front was directly washed down, like a flood bank was opened.
"Kill!"The black cavalry urged the horse to slay. Heavy armor is unstoppable! The team in front was rushed to the ground in an instant. Thousands of cavalry followed, and the imperial spear and spear array was crushed by the cavalry. Everywhere I heard the snapping sound of the spear clucking. The cavalry pounced on the hastily arranged array and retreated across the board. The collapse was irreversible.
"Quick, retreat!" The captain of the guard cavalry panicked, and he turned around and ran away with his men.
"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!" Crossbow arrows were constantly being shot at the escaped guard cavalry. The cavalry screamed one by one and planted from the horse. The black cavalry behind followed like a pack of wolves, the general guard The uniform is too conspicuous. How could the Falcon Cavalry, who has always been used to grabbing gold coins, let such gold coins of the same weight run away. For a time, guards and cavalry from all around came together, and even Hu Keqili was alarmed.
Looking at the continuous rolling in of Falcon Empire cavalry, the captain of the guard cavalry was so scared that he dared not run away. He suddenly shouted in the suffocated northwest dialect, "Don’t fight, I surrender. Surrender!, slap. The weapon was thrown on the ground, indicating that he really surrendered, and the horse began to slow down
" Surround yourself, don’t shoot arrows!"
Hu Keqili heard a trace of stunned face flashing across his face. Shouted to the cavalry who had drawn their bowstrings around. Hearing his order, the guards gave up the idea of shooting all these guys.
"Don't kill me, I caught Gaul General Randolph. He is here!" The Gaul general's guard captain who escaped from the dead hurriedly jumped off his horse and kneeled on the ground with his hands raised. According to the rumors outside. If you want to surrender to the Falcons, you have to pose like this, and his subordinates also quickly followed suit and knelt down a dozen people.
"Wow" countless horses swept past them with parallel winds, the captain of the General Gaul's guard and the guard cavalry under his command were so scared that their faces were pale.
"You claim to have captured General Gaul?"
asked a murderous coercive voice. It was Hu Keqili who came here on a special trip. He wore a unique double-horned helmet on his head and a cloak like human blood behind him. The long battle knife in his hand fell. Blood dripped from above to the ground, "My lord!" The falcon guard cavalry spread to both sides like a tide in front of him. Just this power made the Gaul guard captain kneeling there wet his back with cold sweat.
Hukochi's eyes swept across the guard attire of the dozens of kneeling Gallic cavalry like a sword, and he was surprised to himself. "What is the situation, the Gallic guard claimed to have captured General Gallic?" "He looked at a horse not far away again. A middle-aged man in the armor of an ordinary soldier was lying on the back of the horse. There were red blood stains behind his forehead. It seemed that he was either unconscious or dead. The man’s hand dropped, revealing a large part of the gold jewel buckle that only a Gaul general can wear. This is undoubtedly a Gaul general, but I don’t know that it was the commander of the army that was ambushed.
"Are you the generals guard? Who is that man immediately! If there is a lie, I will chop you down into minced meat immediately"
Hu Keqili asked in a cold tone. He did not have a hundred or seventy to eighty battles with the Gaul army. This is the first time he has seen the most tenacious, known as the soul of the Gaul army, a general who will never retreat. The guards shouted for surrender, and they arrested their chief officer and shouted for surrender. That's weird!
"He is Randolph! The commander of the 12th Gaul Infantry Regiment"
Gaul’s guard cavalry captain said quickly, and after a series of content, Hu Keqili was also a little confused, these guys are really not the guards of the Gaul Empire, they turned out to be mercenaries, because the generals of the regular Gaul are separate In the Battle of the Southwest and the Battle of Rusty, the losses were severe. In addition to a large number of generals were captured, there are countless elite generals and guards who are known to be killed or captured.
These generals and guards are real professional soldiers, they are all brave warriors in the army. Ordinary soldiers can be recruited, but these real professional soldiers are cultivated from generation to generation, and they require neither financial nor manpower. Gaul Kyoto can afford it now, which is desperately desperate,
Since he could not find the real general guard, Derek, who had just hosted the Kyoto line, actually took the second place. He believed that the group with professional fighters is not only the army, but also mercenaries, those who lick the blood. There are many elite fighters like soldiers. These professional mercenaries with certain combat experience are not inferior to the general guard in combat effectiveness.
But when it comes to loyalty, that's another matter. He has become a mercenary of the General Guard. After all, they are mercenaries, they only fight for money. I hope they will be defeated like a mountain. It is impossible to show the loyalty of a real Gaul soldier, and the guard that captured his general is a mercenary!
The battle ended in less than two hours. It was like a massacre field. The dead bodies of countless Gauls covered a vision that could not be seen. The sea of blood reflected light under the afterglow of the setting sun, and night fell. Turn this piece of heaven and earth into pure white again. Snow drifting in the night makes the whole world invisible
"Sasha"
There was a crisp sound of feet stepping on the snow layer from outside the temporary military tent. The fat man placed a letter of order signed with his name beside him. The snowstorm that came at night caused the Gaul scouts to withdraw early. After ambushing Gaul’s fifty thousand troops, the army did not return to Vernon as expected. Instead, it unexpectedly approached the wall for fifteen miles.
" Your Majesty! "Hu Keqili walked in from outside the military account, holding the report of interrogating that team of mercenaries in his hand
" Is the situation clear?" The fat man raised his head and looked at him. Black pupils are like stars
"Yes, very clearly, that guy said it all!" Hu Keqili looked excited and handed the result of the question in his hand to the fat man. Said, "At present, there are 16 squadrons of the Gaul General Guard in the Wall Fort, each of which has about 100 to 500 personnel, with a total number of 3,700. Among them, there are eleven squadrons served by mercenaries. About two thousand and four hundred people, the others are the real generals’ guards or those generals’ own personal guards"
"Is the enemy's command post in the rock fort?" Did the fat man's eyes flicker? He tapped his finger on the table lightly. He asked in a condensed voice.
"That’s right, Derek’s command post is in the wall rock fort, and about 150,000 Gallic troops are stationed on the road below the wall rock fort. The Gauls recast the frontal defensive line, and behind, Only three wooden walls were built temporarily,"
"Are you saying it was Derek who sold them the body of the general guard for a thousand gold coins?" The fat man who listened to Hu Keqili's report, with terrifying eyes bright, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, Derek, who has just ascended to a high position, urgently needs money to consolidate his position, and some mercenaries also hope to obtain military positions like the General Guard to earn more money. So... ..." Hu Keqili replied, lowering his head
"Derek is so eager for quick success and instant benefits, taking the safety of the country’s important generals as a trifle, using mercenaries as the general guards of the soul of the army, this is really an extinction of Gaul! What a pity, the 200,000 Gaul army will be because of this. Little man, and destined to fall on the wall rock fort!" The fat man flipped the report in his hand, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line, the cold light was radiating, and he suddenly spit out a sentence that made Hu Keqili feel the chills. ,
An army of two hundred thousand fell on the wall rock fort! Has your Majesty already figured out how to close the net? Hu Keqili was a little surprised. Although the ambush annihilated the two Gaul infantry regiments, there was no main Gaul ambushing the wall rock fort. In other words, the strength of the Gauls in the wall rock fort is still strong.
"Pass this order to Statunko in front of the Wall Rock Fort!" The fat man picked up the order book already written on the table, handed it to Hu Keqili, and said calmly
" What does your majesty mean? "Hu Keqili's face is a little startled
Fatty smiled slightly." His Southern Army is now strong and strong. They have been clamoring to counterattack the wall rock fort, but I have been pressed by me and have not moved. Originally, he wanted to wait for me to ambush the main force of Gaul before counterattack. Now I am like As he wishes, starting tomorrow, the Southern Army will begin to fight the Wall Rock Fortress."
"From tomorrow, our army will swim in the rear, and cut off the connection between the wall rock fort and Kyoto from behind."
"Your Majesty thinks that the supply line for the Wall Rock Fortress is in Kyoto?" Hu Keqili is also a well-timed star, and he immediately reacted,
"What do you say!" The fat man turned his eyes, looked at the flying snow falling outside on the ground, and said in a condensed voice, "You have been stationed in the rock fort. You should know that although the rock fort is dangerous~IndoMTL.com~, the disadvantage is that The area is too small, and it is barely enough to station 10,000 or 20,000 people. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed. There are too few places for storage in that style. The daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is counted in 10,000. That is not a joke. Yes, I’m sure that the supply line of the Wall Rock Fortress is definitely controlled by Kyoto, because since Gaul Kyoto dares to release this huge army of 200,000 people, it will certainly not be unfettered.
"In less than two days, it will be lively when the wall rock fort is found to be broken!"
" If Gaul’s main force abandons the wall rock fort, regardless of the offensive of the frontal southern army, we are desperate to return with all our strength, we are afraid we will... "Hu Keqili hesitated a bit
"Haha, do you think they still have a chance to come back to Gaul Kyoto?"
The fat man laughed and patted Hu Keqili on the shoulder, smiling Hu Keqili with a blank face,
What does mean, although the frontal offensive of the Southern Army can create some pressure, as long as the Gaul dare to abandon the wall rock fort, it is absolutely possible to withdraw most of the troops,
But His Majesty Falcon is so confident. . . . Hu Keqili's heart is also shaking, is there anything more terrifying assassin your Majesty can't?
" Believe me, they won't have a chance to go back to Gaul Kyoto!" The fat man snorted in an aggravated tone, and a chilling smile appeared on the corners of his unusually sure mouth
