Power and Empire Chapter 1950: The river rushes (4)
The cruelty of the war began to oppress the nerves of the military and the non-military. Compared with the regular army with combat experience, the local army, when launched the first wave of offensive, suffered uncontrollable casualties. These miscellaneous from the region Soldiers, looking at the tide of mountains and seas in front of the enemy, the iron armor is clanging, the spear is like a forest, and he feels that his feet are as heavy as lead poured, "Go forward, attack!" The officer behind whipped angrily, unable to drive the miscellaneous. The chaotic situation of the soldiers, the counterattack of the Falcons in the front has scared many soldiers.
"No way, I don't want to die!"
This situation was particularly prominent in the Seventeenth Infantry Regiment. Arrows flew across the concave surface, and rolling stones fell densely like hail. The soldiers did not dare to look up, did not dare to step, and someone tried to lie down on the ground and put on top. He died, was immediately kicked a few times by the officer, the soldiers screamed and cried, you hit me and squeezed into a ball, trampled on each other; some people lie down to avoid, but the panicked warhorse stepped on the back of the head,
"Asshole, how could I be sent to such a place!" The 17th Infantry Regiment Commander Monroe was pale as paper, and his hand holding the reins of the war horse was shaking. Since seeing the Falcon Army's crossbow arrows shoot up A team of infantrymen, about 150 meters away, was killed 200 meters away and stopped moving forward. In order to find a reason for not going up, he scratched his arm with a small dagger.
" Your lord, the 17th Infantry Regiment reported that it requested retreat because of the serious damage in the battle! "Within less than an hour of fighting, Marcos, who was content to raise funds, received a report requesting to evacuate. He was taken aback for a while, and the damage was severe. ? He looked at the 17th Infantry Regiment which should be in combat position, his nose was almost crooked with anger,
The queues of the 17th Infantry Regiment were crooked and crooked, like a group of scattered ducks, they ran back in swarms before they even touched the opposite side. The face of the non-soldiers was lost home, and the opponents were just sparse arrows flying. , The soldiers here never dare to move forward
"Who is the commander of the Seventeenth Infantry?" Marcos asked angrily with a trace of murderousness flashing across his face. He said in a cold voice, "When the whole army fights to death, this person does not seek to die for the country, but to withdraw! This is the word to kill! Come on, immediately arrest this greedy guy who is afraid of death, I want this coward 'S head hangs above the military flag"
" Your lord, you forgot, this 17th Infantry Regiment Commander cannot be caught, let alone killed!" The adjutant next to him changed his face and quickly reminded him in a low voice.
"Why can't you catch it?" Marcos gave the adjutant angrily,
"My lord forgot, the vacancy of the 17th Infantry Regiment was signed by the lord himself!" The adjutant said in a low voice.
"Well? Really? You mean that some time ago..." A trace of stunnedness flashed across Marcos's face
"That's right, it was sold at a position of 200,000 gold coins some time ago." The adjutant took a deep breath and looked to the left and right. Fortunately, the generals are all going to command the troops, here. They are all Marcos’ cronies. "The Minister of the Interior, Monroe, has especially confessed. The commander of the 17th Infantry Regiment is his son-in-law. He also asked you not to let him go to the battlefield."
"Master Monroe confessed like this?" Marcos frowned slightly
"Why didn't you say it earlier! "No
"200,000 gold coins, as long as the adults do not let the 17th Infantry Regiment go to the battlefield, the Monroe family is willing to give the adults 200,000 gold coins in private! The adults won't even forget this!"
"It seems that there is such a thing!" Marcos snorted with a suffocated breath. Waved his hand to the adjutant. "Forget it, order the 17th Infantry Regiment to evacuate. It is useless to keep it! There is no need to offend the Monroe clan for such waste. You must know that the Monroe clan that controls the wealth of the empire. Go back. The three generations are the family of the first queen of the founding of the empire, facing this kind of intertwined big family. I also don't have the ability to directly challenge it. If the former Secretary of Military Affairs Rubin Sack was there, it would be ruthless and ruthless. Slap the Monroe clan with one blow"
"We have lost nearly 300,000 troops in the north and south, and we also have 300,000 vacancies and officer positions in our hands. We use them as a bargaining chip to sell to those wealthy families. In our heart, we always make People are worried! But at least it has raised military expenses for the empire!"
Marcos sighed deeply, his bloodshot eyes looked at the front line with a sharp whistling that tore the sky apart, and a black spot appeared on the opposite side, like a sparrow rising in the sky. The densely packed stone slings expanded rapidly in the field of vision, and there was a sharp whistling sound in the ears. The large stones of the millstone came from the sky with a terrible impulse and hit the flesh and blood of people, just like a dense meteor shower. Splashing blood red waves in the sea.
" My lord, the emergency military report! "A cavalry came in at a speed and sent a report. Marcos opened the report and took a look. He didn't speak, but his eyes looked unusually sharp, but the corners of his mouth were slightly bent upwards. , This is a disguise under his proud look
"My lord, yes..." The adjutant glanced at him with complicated eyes
"Well, your idea is not wrong!"
Marcos grinned slightly, looked into the distance, and said, "The Emperor’s Guard Corps is dispatched, and the coalition forces are blocked at Barruta. Our army is holding the Falcons on the front line, just like two The giants’ wrestling with each other, the hands of both sides have been clenched together, and they have been fully displayed. Whoever can stretch out one more hand is the winner. The Falcon Empire mobilizes 30,000 elites to advance north, thinking that they can occupy it The initiative, you must have never imagined that the emperor’s imperial guards have left Besuka for an ambush. Our army's attack was only to block the sight of the Falcons. This battle was personally determined by the emperor. If it succeeds, we Or maybe you can take down the lost southern coast in one fell swoop, or at worst, you can open the gap into the general set from the other end!"
"My lord taught a good student!" the adjutant said with admiration,
"You can't say that! It is the emperor's talents and talents that can have such an excellent plan." Marcos was pleased that his wrinkled eyes were narrowed into a line, and he seemed very pleased that he had taught him. A good student, Rubin Sack only taught the emperor’s inner perseverance at the beginning, and in his own hands, the emperor has begun to truly take a step towards a future monarch who will rule the world.
"But your Majesty personally directs the attack, will it be too dangerous?" The adjutant said with some concern
"It shouldn’t be possible. This time your Majesty took the generals, and the 50,000 guards sent out, far more than the 30,000 Falcons marching northward! With such strength, ambush, It's more than enough." Marcos shook his head dismissively. "I have sent someone to investigate. This time, the commander of the Falcon Emperor's army marching north is two little-known characters, one is Reposti. , There is another named Jaglins, who has never heard of their extraordinary record, nor is he a fierce general like Valisian"
Marcos’s tone was very relaxed. He didn’t know that there was a central army in the Falcon Empire. The two small characters he said had the title of eagle and two wolves, not to mention the fact that the Falcon Empire was in The first battle fought in the continent of Oubaro. It was the Scarlet Yinqueshan Battle commanded by these two men. In that battle, the two of them used the weak Salander Expeditionary Force to defeat the main force of the Duke of Normandy and tore open the empire’s landing at Obaro. The gap, the two performed outstandingly in the Battle of Yinqueshan, although they were degraded because of the drag of the Salander Expeditionary Force,
Last winter, in view of the urgent need for excellent and experienced commanders on the front lines. The fat man had already restored the position of the leader of the Central Military Standard in the two empires, and was later ordered to station at Fort Muia, the southern hub fortress. As the old partners, the characteristics of the two are quite clear.
Fierce Eagle Riposti is good at scheduling and coordination, while the Fierce Wolf Jaglins is a first-class fighter.
During their garrison at Fort Muia, the two did their best to maintain public order on the southern coast. Bullying and looting are strictly forbidden, and the difference between the civilians and nobles of the empire is clearly disclosed to the world, so it is generally loved and supported by the civilians in the occupied areas. It also gained considerable political results among other countries in the Inland Sea. The gradual stability of the situation on the southern coast made the former Congolese and non-aristocratic armies more isolated, and eventually had to compromise with the imperial forces. In the report submitted to the fat man, he especially praised the two people’s cooperation as a perfect fit
The 30,000 Falcon Central Army led by the two swiftly marched northward. With a force of lightning speed, they defeated the north-entry bridgehead of less than 3,000 soldiers in the Wato Fortress. During a short rest period, Reposti accidentally got an unexpected news from the fleeing civilians. In front of the troops marching north, the troops of the Congolese Empire are waiting for them
"Is the intelligence true? Could it be the merchant who told us to deceive us!"
Jaglins, who likes to go straight, expressed his dissatisfaction with this. If it hadn’t been for this information, the forward troops he led would have set off long ago, and they should all be in the northern part of the Palu Plain, which is less than three miles away from the combat target Besuka. The journey of a hundred miles, because of a businessman's complaint and chose to stand still, is Reposti a bit too sensitive?
"It’s not the time to be in a hurry. The empire’s 100,000 Chen soldiers borders, and the Baruta side is fully engaged. It depends on us where the balance of this war falls. Your Majesty looks at us so hòu, so naturally he is still cautious. Some good!" Reposti opened the window of the room. Of the two, Reposti is older than Jaglins.
He looked out of the window and said, “It is reported that an army of about five thousand men is coming towards us. It should be part of the enemy’s unintentionally exposed troops. Because they did not bring enough food, these enemies plundered civilians and caravans. The robbers wearing regular armors are still easy to recognize, and they killed a lot of people! I have sent people to reconnaissance, and the army of five thousand people is not so easy to hide in this plain area, and The camp where five thousand people have rested will always leave some traces"
During rapid intelligence gathering, I soon got a report of the presence of the Gangfei army in front. The news shocked the two of them. The people waiting for them were not five thousand, but five. An army of ten thousand people
"It seems that there is nothing wrong. There is really a possibility of an ambush ahead of us." Reposti looked at the somewhat surprised Jaglins, clicked on the map with his hand, and said condensedly, "Look, Fort Wartau The reason why it is called the bridgehead of the northward advance is that starting from the Wato Fortress to the north, the terrain will become more and more flat. The opponent can use 50,000 troops to calmly open a large net in front of us. Quietly waiting for us to crash into the plains. Once stuck, the plains are the result of endless death. Moreover, our cavalry is insufficient. Since the opponent chooses to fight in the plains, the number of cavalry will not be less." At least the merchant said, just At least he saw thousands of cavalry, but staying like this is no way! If we do not advance northward, we will win or lose. Your Majesty Falcon will cut you and my head! "
"What should I do?" Jaglins shrugged his shoulders
"I have a plan. Since I can't enter, I just retreat!" Reposti raised his head and glanced at his partner, and said, "We can voluntarily exit the Warto Fortress"
"You are crazy! "Yaglins yelled in disbelief." Do you know what it means to give up the fortress of Wato? It means that we have lost the initiative of the war to Gang Fei, and your majesty will kill You and mine!"
"No, you’re wrong, just don’t want Warto fortress, they want us!" Reposti’s mouth shows a sly smile.’ The other party spent so much effort laying a trap to wait for us. It turned out that we turned around and ran away. If you were the opposing commander, would you choose to have a meaningless dead fortress, or do your best to chase the escaped prey? "
"Naturally, I will try my best to chase the prey!"
Yaglins' eyes lit up and he understood the meaning of his partner. Yes, Wato Fortress may have a certain meaning, but that is for his own northward advancement, and for the other party, there are more urban strongholds. The significance of Wattau Fortress is much smaller. What the other party wants is to annihilate the northward self!
"Interesting, what do you want to do" asked Jaglins
" At that time, we had to fight a battle first, otherwise how could we show a panic." Reposti smiled slightly. "We can pretend that we suddenly encounter each other without knowing anything, and then pretend that we are retreating and lead the enemy into the battlefield that is beneficial to us."
"The one-stroke escape strategy, what do you mean by the favorable battlefield?" Yaglins's face moved slightly.
"That's right, the decisive battle location is set at the beach of Bion, fifty miles away!"
Reposti pointed at a long curved line on the map.” There is a wide Bian River as a defensive line. There is only one bridge through which the opponent must be the most mobile cavalry first to reach, and then It is an infantry group, we can let the opposing cavalry over, and then launch a surprise attack with a legionary ballista and catapult! Take advantage of the time difference, knock out their cavalry first, pull out their sharp teeth! Then come to clean up their clumsy infantry group "
"This plan is good"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Let's fight a battle and watch." The bold two had no fear.
"How? Can you win?" Reposti's eyes showed a smile, but his eyes felt unmistakable. "You must know that this bait is not good enough, if you want to entice the opposing cavalry to pursue it, But we need to really sting each other! And our cavalry number is only 1,500."
"Well, I thought you were going." Jaglins blinked. He was called a wolf because he is known for his agility and aggressiveness.
" You don’t really want me to do it." Reposti turned his somewhat blessed waist and put on an innocent expression. "As a bait, you must first make the fish unable to eat it. This I need to be very agile. I can’t. I haven’t been fighting for a long time, and I’ll fall off even faster on horseback!"
"So, you owe me again!"
On the side of the Congolese Army, the little emperor started to regret when he led the Imperial Guards. At this time, it’s really difficult to ride a tiger. This time the mobilization of the Guards to ambush the 30,000 Falcons should be a matter of great pride for the little emperor. This is a demonstration of his military talents and a time to show the ability of a monarch. ,
After all, the rapid rise of the Falcon Empire shocked the Obaro region. Watching the Vecia Falcon sweeping the northern and central parts of Obaro almost by the force of one country~IndoMTL.com~Oubaro Luo people have begun to regard command as a condition for measuring a great monarch,
The little emperor is still young after all. It is one thing to make a battle plan. The real army dispatching and marching operations are another matter. The army fighting is not a trifling matter. Tens of thousands of people eat and drink, and the dispatching between the various army teams Cooperation is a matter that needs to test the coordination ability. Marcos especially brought the experienced generals to the emperor for this purpose. The original intention was to avoid the lack of experience due to the little emperor’s lack of experience. The reality is that these vacancies The professional soldiers who have been working for a long time have made it difficult for the little emperor to accept all kinds of strategic and tactical interruptions, but they must also accompany a smiling face.
At the meeting that just ended, a general suggested that "ambushing is an impractical method. The best way is to lead the army south to recover the lost southern coast in the name of the Emperor’s personal conquest. Shocking Xiaoxiao, reflecting that I am not an impressive army, and invigorating the nation’s people’s hearts and minds. Since we have a superior force, the upright fighting is more than opportunistic"
If it was the previous year, the little emperor might have been really passionate about this sentence, but now it’s different. Two consecutive relocations to Beijing have made the little emperor deeply aware that the military is not the imperial military. There is still a huge gap in power between the Falcon Empire and the Falcon Empire. The Istanis who are able to defeat the Falcon Army steadily retreat will have to retreat for fifty miles when they encounter the Falcon Army. This is the gap. Hehe from the Northern Falcon Empire. Junwei, like the sun, makes countless people dare not look up (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@沃林主治] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your Support is my biggest motivation. )
