Power and Empire Chapter 1925: The Empire’s Counterattack (9)
The night is like water, the moonlight of the spring night is faint silver, the emerald green forest in front is like a large flowerbed, and the faint white shot down a beam of light on the dense mountain forest road, and the horse lowered its head to chew the freshness. The stalks and leaves of the grass made rustling sounds from time to time, surrounded by resting falcon guards and horses foraging.
rushed northward for three hundred miles without stopping, from the mountains in the south to the central and southern parts of Congo. Not only was Male’s uncomfortable, but even people couldn’t stand it. The whole army rested in this secret woods
"Rido, do you know where this is?"
Hu Keqili leaned against the tree trunk, shook his arm, turned around and asked the guard who brought food behind him,
"I don't know either"
The guard looked around and shook his head.
"Even you can't tell the direction. It seems that you have indeed rushed too fast in the past two days. Bring the map. I don't want to run even if I get the wrong direction. That's bad!" Hu Keqi forcefully I took a sip of water and raised my hand,
Guards quickly took off the map from the war horse. With the moonlight shining from above, Hu Keqili spread the map on the rock. After checking it carefully for a while, his dignified face finally relaxed. Say "Fortunately, our direction is not wrong. Although it has deviated, the southern mountains are beginning to become gentle and flat here. It should be the Alawi mountains as the transition region from central to southern Africa! Going forward Zhan. Li is the stronghold of Gangfei"
"What, it's only from the base camp of Gangfei, it's a fantasy!"
The cavalry guards nearby heard the news, they were shocked, and they gathered around. This time they rushed with all their strength, and the speed was swift and violent. Everyone looked forward to the sudden appearance of the imperial flag at Besu, the base camp of Gangfei. When Ka was under the city, Gang Fei's face was so stunned. Thinking of this, all the cavalry guards felt the blood on their bodies boiling
"Order all the squadron captains to come to me!"
Hu Keqili ordered, and soon, all a dozen squadron captains will be there.
Hu Keqili looked at a dozen of his subordinates, and said in a cold voice, "According to the military newspaper we have, although the main force of the 100,000 Chinese people is still confined in Baruta, the reserve forces have also been put into general sets. Therefore, Besuka, where the Gangfei Chaotang is located, has less than 10,000 troops!"
" Besuka’s army is less than 10,000! It's not that we will be able to reach Besuka in the day after tomorrow!" said a guard squadron captain excitedly
" Yes, not only do we think so, but I think the same is true of just non-human beings!" Hu Keqili's eyes flickered, his face was a kind of sickly red, his fingers connected the punctuation on the map. Obviously it is a straight line saying, "So Gang Fei must make every effort to mobilize reinforcements from the front line"
"Our ten thousand elite riders suddenly turned from the south to the north, and plunged from the gap between Gang and Fei. This was completely out of our expectations. In addition, we went northward at a very fast speed. The non-defenders had no time to form a blocking force and they were easily passed through by us"
"But now it’s different. Gang Feiren has received the news. Although the troops are limited, according to the walls of Bezuka, how can we struggle a little bit. As long as the other side waits for reinforcements to arrive, we will be in a dilemma. "
A guard captain said with a solemn expression, "Even so, with our combat power, a desperate battle is enough to win Besuka!"
" Then?" Hu Keqili glanced at him, and asked blankly
"This...
. . mouth. "The head of the guard squadron was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "I never thought about it,
Hu Keqili has sharp eyes like a knife, and said, "The Gangfei still has an army of 90,000 opposing our army in Baruta. The distance from Besuka to Baruta is only a hundred miles. , Before the sun sets tomorrow, the reinforcements from just non-human will arrive, and getting to Besuka is a dead end!"
"What does that lord mean?"
"We are going to win. Your Majesty handed over ten thousand elites to me, not to die! And although Bezuka is very attractive, the Gangfei who has received it will inevitably change there. Become a trap" Kochli curled his mouth, his voice paused, his eyes swept over the attentive cavalry guards, and his fingers clicked on the map.
"So from here, we are the real battle. First we will continue to the north, and then here." Hu Keqili's fingers stopped near the city of Bezuka, raised his head, his eyes gleamed After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Turn to Barruta!"
"Turn to Baruta?" The guards looked at Hu Keqili's suddenly turned fingers, opening their eyes in disbelief,
"Yes, Shiruta! You can't think of it, and even more so if you don't think of it. "Hu Keqili took a deep breath, smiled at the corner of his mouth, stood up and said," They must think that our target is Besuka. The rapid advancement of our army's elite cavalry can certainly shock the people, but our number is too small, only 10,000 people."
" No matter how outstanding the combat power is, facing Besuka, who is at the center of defense of the Gangfei army, at best is forcing Gangfei to temporarily relocate! Then the enemy will inevitably fight back! Although we have three of your majesty The Wan Dajun postponed, but the distance between the two armies has exceeded one hundred miles today, and will even exceed one hundred and fifty miles tomorrow. Far water cannot save the near fire. We are already fighting alone in the hinterland! And the goal is very clear. , Just wait for the kind of bumping, just not a person is not a fool, the other party only needs to make a slight calculation, and he can know the time of our arrival, the scale of the attack, and then he can arrange it calmly and take the opportunity to swallow us! "
"Then we turn to Barruta, why is this?" someone asked in a low voice
" It’s not why, because this is the place where the army of just under one hundred thousand is garnering food!" Hu Keqili took a cold mouth, put his hand on the map, and said loudly, "Unexpected blow, just hit the right place. , Is far more deadly than a head-on confrontation. Our 10,000 elite rides for hundreds of miles and can’t shake Besuka, but it’s more than enough just for the military rations depot in Barruta that the Congolese spent a lot of money on. The other party’s attention is all in Besuka. No one would have thought that I could be so aggressive, but actually rushed to get their food. We only had to burn the Gangnon-human rations, and then rushed back to Baruta. It’s fine on the military side."
"That's it, just burn the opponent's rations, just go and drink the northwest wind!" Each of the guard squadron commanders had their eyes brightened, and they were all habitual offenders who are best at killing and arson. It feels very refreshing to think of the embarrassment that the army of Gangfei has fallen into a situation of no food.
"Everyone can take a good rest! Tomorrow dawn!"Hu Keqili stood up and raised his hand to the squadron leaders who were meeting around." He set his head on the horse and must not let the horses neigh. Tomorrow It's about to enter the state of fighting at any time!"
just outside the military department, the adjutants ran to the door with orders in their hands, almost afraid to delay the slightest,
A squadron of the messenger cavalry waited there. Every messenger cavalry who received the order from the adjutant flew away in a continuous speed. It has been a long time since the messenger cavalry could gather directly at the military department. , Often means a big battle
" Secretary Marcos, with our military strength, can we really eat this lonely deep Falcon Cavalry with one bite?" In the office of Secretary of Military Affairs Marcos, Xiao Huang, watching with interest, stood on both sides of the office. The meeting body armor.
These full-body armors have four sets, two on each side. They seem to be well-kept on weekdays. They are supported by precious mahogany frames. They are finely polished and polished high-quality plate armor. They are powerful and powerful heraldic shields all over the body. Full protection from top to bottom, almost impeccable.
But the weight is not light. The little emperor estimated that the lightest one would be difficult to wear before he was fourteen years old. On the wall of the room, there are still long spears, short axes, and short swords that are placed crosswise. , Heraldic shields, the surface of these cold genus glows with a cold and characteristic white halo,
" As long as you pick up the weapons on the wall, you can fight, Marco Siqing is really strong! "The little emperor sighed, looking through the window sill, just to see the figure of a messenger cavalry disappearing in the distance,
" Your majesty is over. These armors were made by the minister when he was eleven, eighteen, twenty-nine and fifty years old. They are placed here to let the minister remember his courage when he faced the enemy. "Marcos replied" and your Majesty don't worry, there should be no problems. Although the opponent is excellent in combat power, after all, there are only ten thousand people!"
Marcos saw the little emperor’s pretentious calm look, and thought that the little emperor was only seven years old and still a child. No wonder he didn’t have confidence in this battle, so he couldn’t help but smile.
" I have hurriedly ordered the 30,000 people from Barruta to return. At most, at noon tomorrow, the 30,000 troops can arrive in Bezuka. Of course, in order to avoid the possibility of this battle from spreading to the city, the best The way is to ask your Majesty to temporarily move out of Besuka City!"
" said that, but because of a small impact, I chose to move out. Isn’t it too rash? Anyway, I am also the emperor of the empire! Marcos, what do you think will be the gossip?"
The little emperor was a little unwilling. In the history of the empire, those ancestors who were on the battlefield **** battles made him proud of his bloodline. Although he was young, the first emperor had seen the battlefield at the age of ten. It’s tragic. Several of the Gang Fei monarchs have been in the forefront of the battlefield with the army before the age of ten.
"Your Majesty, war is not a trifling matter! And the Falcons have always been famous for their long-range shooting and killing. A hundred meters away, their throats are sealed. Compared with curiosity, your Majesty’s safety is the first!"
Marcos obviously knew what the little emperor’s entanglement was, and smiled, "Your Majesty’s fascination with the battlefield can be understood. Why not so at the beginning of the subordinates? When he was eleven years old, he followed his father and saw the first war. There were bones all over the mountains, and broken limbs. What thoughts there was in my mind at that time would be disgusting and vomiting, "Papa"
There was a knock at the door,
"Come in" Marcos continues to sign the documents
An adjutant of the Military Affairs Department walked in, saluted the little emperor and Marcos, and said, "Your Majesty, your lord, just received the news that the forward of the Falcon Cavalry has arrived at Kaweiza in the field, and the other party did not attack. Instead, I bypassed Kaweiza and ran here!"
"Oh, I got it!"
Marcos waved his hand to the adjutant,
"So fast!" The little emperor's tone was a little surprised
"This is normal. The opponent goes hundreds of miles north, and when he gets close to the target, he doesn't want to entangle along the way. The battle to go straight to Besuka is as early as expected."
Marcos stopped the pen, took a deep breath and said, "The commander of the opposing party is very clear about the main points of the raid. The poisonous scorpion’s high scorpion hook will never make any extra moves when it does not launch a fatal blow. Although our army uses Besuka as a bait to launch an ambush, the price to be paid must be to wipe out the opponent. Hu is also quite tragic. If your Majesty really wants to see this Shura field, his subordinates can arrange it!"
" Forget it, forget it, that’s how I think about it! "When I heard that I would see all kinds of dead people up close, the little emperor who was recently tortured by insomnia made his face pale. It’s a pity, but can you watch it from a distance?"
"This, it should be okay, the subordinates will arrange it!" Marcos hesitated. It's not bad for the emperor to have this kind of heart. Seven-year-old is a bit small, but in the history of Gangfei, it is not without Past such a pioneer.
Baruta, as the first front line to oppose the Falcon Army, the Gangfei people have set up close surveillance 20 miles in front of the Baruta line of defense, hundreds of wooden watchpoints, There are braziers on them. Once an attack by the Falcons is detected, the guard tower will set up the wood piled up in the brazier. The thick smoke that goes straight into the sky can be seen even if it is twenty miles away on the flat land of Baruta. If it is night, the fire can be seen from the position of the defense line command. The Gangfei people have deployed 100,000 people on the Siluta defense line.
large camps hide behind makeshift fortifications,
Dark night, there are no stars in the sky, but it doesn’t affect Schukocchi’s use of the looking glass in his hand to observe the Congo-Fei military camp full of fires in the distance. The Baruta area is on a large alluvial plain, and the front is A river, the huge Bakuta Fortress is at the other end of the river. It is now occupied by the Falcons. The city below the fortress looks like a huge shape from the high hills, losing Baru. The 100,000 Gangfei troops in the Tower Fortress are based on rivers and large tracts of tidal flats, plus six mountainous areas with character-shaped characters at the back.
The moon is shining bright, countless military flags are flying like clouds,
Through the observation mirror and familiarity with the layout of the barracks, Hu Keqili almost effortlessly went to the direction of the barracks to the east of the army outside of Baruta, and found many prominent targets.
There are more than thirty temporary large grain warehouses. In this plain that can be seen clearly, there is really nothing that can block the line of sight. From the perspective of the layout of the barracks, the warehouses are basically located behind the barracks. , There is an army on the front, rear, left and right. The Congolese and African army is also a battle-tested army. It has not been numb to the point of being completely undefended. Of the four armies, three have been clearly leaned forward, forming a breakthrough pendulum. However, if the direction of the raid is changed to the back, there is only one military camp that needs to be considered.
is a godsend! Hu Keqili looked at the sky. The time had come to the second half of the night. The dew added to his body, and the ice was biting. The armor of the Imperial Guard Cavalry who ran for most of the night was stained with a layer of water vapor similar to a hundred frost. A face,
"Prepare each squadron!" Hu Keqili ordered in a low voice. The dense falcon cavalry behind him leaped up to the mound in front of him, like shadows and waves, raising a layer out of thin air on the mound. In the direction of the barracks, the second half of the night is the easiest time to fall asleep. There are dense lookout posts in front, and there are as many as five layers of defense lines along the way. No one will notice a faint black long line, which begins to appear in the rear three hundred. On the mound of meters away, the air was filled with a kind of slaughter before the war. The cavalry looked cold, and their fingers tightened the reins of the horses. The quiet and terrible surroundings, and the suddenness was the main factor of this raid. Whether or not to ignite the food of Gangshui before it will alarm the enemies on both wings is the key to the success or failure of the entire battle.
"Go ahead!" Hu Keqi raised his hand high,
The black cavalry began to be like water flowing in the dark night, and countless black lines slowly advanced towards the barracks. The sentries inside were either sleeping or burning fire, so that the shadow troops advanced to 100 meters away from the camp. At that time, the rumbling of horseshoes began to grow louder and louder, and only then did the guard towers give out a rapid ringing of bells
"Centre" Hu Keqili was able to see the front clearly. He pulled out the sharp saber at his waist. The sharp light of the blade was like a raised battle flag, and he shouted, "Assault troops advance! "The sword fell, and the iron current of cavalry like a landslide speeded up~IndoMTL.com~The linear queue rolled forward like a wave,
At five o'clock in the morning, in the faint morning light, the Falcon Guards cavalry rushed into the Gangfei’s barracks in Baruta as if they had fallen from the sky.
The cracking of the horseshoe is like a storm sweeping across the ground. At the moment of contact, the camp’s tent has fallen down like a strong wind,
The heavy horseshoe stepped directly over the Gangfei soldiers who were still sleeping,
As soon as the non-soldier ran out of the tent in a panic, he saw a sword like snow in front of him,
Spiked cavalry hung on the front end of countless horses, swooping from the front like an avalanche, and their companions crawling on the ground with scared farts,
The entire camp is like a sieve shot through by countless arrows. The impact of 10,000 guards, like a black iron plow, cuts into the scene of the Gangfei military camp. The rotating spiked flail slammed heavily on the armor of a single bó,
Fragments splash,
Many of the panicked Gangfei soldiers were directly involved by the galloping horses and turned into a mass of flesh on the ground, "Kill!"
10,000 falcon guard cavalry knives, like the frost before the dawn,
The horseshoe rumbling, the earth trembled like an avalanche, followed the arc of the **** and slammed into the weak rear of the Gangfei military camp
