Power and Empire Chapter 1955: The river rushes (9)
At the entrance of the bridge in front, the two armies can be seen gradually pulling apart in the rain. The two sides have been exhausted in this tidal flat woodland. The bodies of more than 10,000 people lie on this beach, washed by the rain, The bright red blood flows towards the low-lying river bank like a stream,
"Woo" echoed in the air with a tragic horn sound. One by one, the Falcon Army was crippled and the team gathered and evacuated towards the bridge. After the rising water, the Bianhe River was like a crazy water beast. Rushing wildly against the wide stone piers, rolling up the rumbling water waves,
300 meters away, the Gang Fei soldiers lined up in line,
At this moment, Resker glanced across the uncluttered queue behind the Falcon Army, and his hand holding the reins of the war horse tightened.
On his side is the captain of the guard cavalry, a heroic-looking young man with several obvious bumps on the armor, a shocking arrow wound on the corner of his eyebrows, and the blood on the corner of his eyebrows makes the heroic face unaffected. , On the contrary, there was a pride that was not handsome. When Gangcai was the fiercest in the battle, Reske sent his guard cavalry in. In the chaos, half of the guard cavalry remained in the woodland. , Even the captain of the guard who is famous for his bravery in the entire Imperial Guard almost can't come back
" Barry, how much force we can still fight! "A trace of unwillingness flashed across Lesker’s face and asked in a voice that only two people could hear
"Battle damage plus wounded soldiers, we are now allowed to attack less than five thousand cavalry!" The captain of the guard hesitated on his face,
The corners of his mouth moved slightly and he was not talking, his eyes turned from hot to cold, no one said, only the sound of the rain rushing on the armor of the car exuding the breath of injured beasts, if it was not known by the cavalry This side’s reinforcements are now less than ten miles away from the battlefield. Even if they are all fighting, they will never sit back and watch such a chance that can determine the success or failure of the entire battle, and slip away in their own eyes.
"Master Lesker, these three report to your Majesty the report of this battle, do you think it is okay?" Dan Kulun, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the Guards, came over with a paper, staggering. Gone, Reske thought he went to rest, who knows he was really tinkering with the paperwork to report to His Majesty the Emperor
Reske took the paper, opened it and looked at it, his eyes stopped, stunned, his voice said in embarrassment, Lord Dan Kulun, is it appropriate to write this way? Although these conditions are still quite consistent, the loss of the Falcon Army is at least between 6,000 and 10,000, but our army's battle damage is not mentioned at all. . mouth. . .
口.
" It's just a big victory, and the casualties of his own side are not important anymore!" Dan Kulun looked at the Falcons who had been on the bridge at the end, and said solemnly, "Master Lesker, don't forget, in the Imperial Army. According to the rules, there is no victory or defeat in a battle and a victory in a battle is two different treatments, not to mention that this is the first battle commanded by the emperor!
" Do you want to tell His Majesty the Seven Emperors that he is most concerned about the first battle, is your own battle damage is three times the enemy's fiasco? Do you really dare to report these, even if the emperor can understand us, the generals will do nothing Relentlessly request that you and my head be hung on flagpoles to frighten the congregation. This is the position of the two Imperial Guard generals in power. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you behind the scenery, and in this battle, you and me. The cavalry regiment has been completely disabled. If you can’t hand in a decent report"
" Those who are alive can still support, what about those who are dead? Because it's not victory or victory, should their relatives starve in Besuka? They are fighters fighting for the country and they should enjoy To the glory of victory instead of the humiliation of defeat!"
Resk was silent, signed his name on the report floor, took a deep breath, rolled up the paper and handed it to the messenger cavalry behind him. "Let’s report it!" The messenger cavalry who took the paper flew. The little emperor Gangfei, who ran away and rushed towards the battlefield behind him, also received a news that made him extremely surprised
In a luxuriously decorated Mamu, the little emperor was holding a document in his hand. He couldn't believe it. His eyes were full of shock. He raised his head and looked at the person on the opposite side." General An Jilai, the news is true Is it?"
Sitting across from him were two generals from the generals who accompanied the army this time. One of them was a middle-aged man in the uniform of the generals. His eyes stopped for a moment on the guards cavalry guarding on both sides. , Said, "Your Majesty is not mistaken. Master Masco has already made arrangements and specifically asked the Imperial Generals to coordinate from it. After discussion, the coalition forces who have been standing still on the Baru Fort have agreed to the revised plan. He promised to deploy 70,000 people to fight against the South. For his majesty’s visionary and visionary plan, Leo Porter, the commander of the coalition forces, also quite appreciated, claiming that he could open the door to victory in the difficult situation. The person who made this plan must be a very knowledgeable and visionary general of the empire. When we revealed that the real strategist of this battle plan was your Majesty, Lord Leopold’s shocked face is still there. Play it back in my mind!!"
"Oh, is that true?"
The little emperor Gang Fei’s small mouth couldn’t close with a smile. The child’s heart and nature always wanted to be recognized, and his eyes had uncontrollable pride. The coalition commander Leopold also belonged to Central Europe. The admiration of a famous general by such a famous general made the little emperor feel a bit lighter. A famous general, he is one step closer to the emperor of the military god!
Because he is too young and is not used to riding for a long time, he can only sit in a carriage. This is a bit of dissatisfaction for him. The road in the rain is bad, and the wheels are running around on the muddy road. The oxcart that was shaking, the speed could hardly pull the mill, the infantry group as a support had already opened a dozen miles away with him, and the 3,000-man Gangfei Guards cavalry guarded both sides of Ma Mou, which was considered to be It is safe and reliable. Suddenly the sound of horseshoes from the embankment washed by the rainstorm came from a distance. I saw a cavalry rushing to the front of the carriage and jumping off the horse quickly.
Passing through the guards of the cavalry, it was ordered that the cavalry could not wait to kneel down in front of the carriage, and said, "Report to your majesty, our army has achieved great victory. Master Reisk has already defeated the defensive line of the Falcon Army northward after the battle. The beheading of the Falcon Army's more than 10,000 opponents is retreating hastily to the Bian River!"
"Great victory, more than ten thousand beheads!" The little emperor was stunned when he heard it,
The generals of the other two generals subconsciously glance at each other, and there is envy that cannot be hidden
"Congratulations, your majesty, you won the first battle!"
one of them uttered a joyous six-tone, and said in a tone full of admiration, "This time the Falcons marching northward will total 30,000 people. This time knocking out a third of them will definitely be enough for a big victory! In this battle, our army will surely be uplifted! Your Majesty’s step to retreat to the south has taken a crucial first step!"
"Yes, I want to take back the South! Emperor" wants to take back the South! "
Xiao Huangkang's eyes brightened by these words, muttering to himself, and the corners of his brows full of joy were bent. The coalition agreed to invest 70,000 people. This time the strength of the southern operation reached 12 Wan Reske also won the first battle with a very strong spirit. If Ge Ge succeeds, with such a huge force, he will approach the weak southern coast of the Falcon Empire with such a large force. The time to reclaim the southern coast is just around the corner. With this excitement, The little emperor's solemn face finally showed a trace of relaxation, and he began to feel that the slow carriage was not so difficult to accept. At this speed, you should be able to see the southern sea of the empire in at most half a month!
In the next two days, facing more and more enemies on the other side of the river, what Reposti and Jaglins could do is to consolidate the river defense line with all their strength
The continuous rainy season helped them a lot. The rushing river overflowed the river channel. The Bion channel expanded from the original 30 meters to more than 50 meters. The Congolese and African troops on the opposite side organized their troops to attack the bridge several times and were defeated. , The wide river channel made the Gangfei army had to be temporarily blocked on the opposite bank of the Bian River despite its numerical advantage. The Congolese army set up camp on the opposite side and began to gather troops
On the 6th and 5th, another army came on the other side of the river.
Requisti patted the sludge on the north hand and finally noticed a trace of anomaly. The camp of the Gangfei Army, which is already densely covered with the entire river bank, is on the opposite side. The number of Ganfei’s troops has exceeded 80,000, and the other side still has new troops arriving. This is abnormal.
"Yaglins! Don't you think the Gang Fei army on the opposite side is playing any tricks?" Reposti stood on the embankment and looked at the movements of the Gang Fei army on the opposite side
"What kind of tricks can it be, it's nothing more than evacuation at night and the old way to drive in during the day!" Jaglins kicked a small stone, watching the stone plop and fall into the river, rolling a few times It's gone, my face looks very dissatisfied
Reposti knew what he was talking about, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "I don’t know why, I have a feeling of being bitten, and I have also doubted the truthfulness of the number of troops on the opposite side. , If the opponent withdraws part of the army at night, and then drive over at dawn can achieve this illusion of continuous accumulation of troops
" But! "Reposti's voice paused for a while and said, "Have you paid attention to the armor and flag of the opposing unit?"
" Army flag and armor? They are all replaceable, I don’t think there is a problem! "Jaglins frowned slightly, wondering if Reposti is a bit too sensitive,
" Yes, both military flags and armors can be forged! "Reposti’s tone is beginning to become cold." On the armor and military flags, it reflects the difference between other troops. It is a very effective deception method. The non-military standard armor is blue, so I used white, red, and brown-red armors for the subsequent troops to enter the army...mouth." Reposti’s voice paused, and his tone suddenly increased, "but the other party In any case, you won’t wear the same black armor as us! Gangfei’s hatred of us is unforgettable, and the black armor is completely unrecognizable during the debate."
"Black! Are you sure?"
Yaglins's face was stunned, and he felt that things were getting worse! Rebslin’s observations have always been very detailed. He said that there are black ones, so there must be black ones, and what he said is the main point. The Congolese Army may choose armors of various colors to emphasize the differences in the troops, but absolutely not. Will choose the same black as the Falcon Empire,
"You mean the opposite of us. My mouth is open.
. .
Where is Yaglin's whole body sluggish, his heart is cold, his face is pale, and his eyes are a little bit unbelievable and sweep across the Ganfei Army camp that runs for several miles on the opposite side. If everything is true, then himself What is the strength of the enemy in front of you? Fifty thousand people? Or a hundred thousand people?
When did the balance of the whole battle seem to unknowingly drop the heaviest weight on the shoulders of the northward troops? In the war, there were only 10,000 troops marching north, and at this time they were deeply imprinted with the "short board" brand. The alliance between the coalition forces and the Gangfei Janitor really opened the door to victory at this moment.
" Fortunately, the situation here is not far from the border. Report to your Majesty Falcon immediately. It’s time to call all the squadron captains for a meeting; I have a hunch that the other party is waiting for the rain to stop, and then there will be nothing Reluctantly crushed us with several times the superior force!"
Reposti turned around resolutely, and patted the still standing Jaglins on the shoulder. "Now that’s what we can do. If your majesty allows us to immediately withdraw to Fort Muya when the Gangfei people are swiftly south. , Even if they are the last one in the battle, they must be blocked in Muya."
The continuous drizzle hit the river beach, turning into countless ripples and sprays, like a layer of water mist floating. No one knows when the rain will stop. On the opposite side of the river beach, a member of the coalition forces General Nian, with high cheekbones, slender eyes, and a tall nose showing an aristocratic atmosphere different from that of the Central Europeans. It is a delicate feeling.
He was looking at the Falcon Army on the other side of the river with a curious and appreciative look, especially through the lens of the viewing tube in his hand, he saw the heavy arrows and crossbows lined up by the Falcon Army on the river bank. The eyes of the coalition generals are full of greed, and the Falcon Army’s arrows and crossbows are already well-known as Obalo
That is the real big killer on the battlefield, even heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor can’t resist it. Many countries are crazy to get this kind of thing, and it needs special ammunition and medicine. Compared with Thor in the Falcon Empire, the popular arrows and crossbows are more attractive to other countries.
In fact, as the Falcon Army and the Obaro Empire went to war, the heinous weapons that swept across the eight directions of the Empire’s army began to be madly imitated by various countries, but most of the finished products are not effective. Although the penetration performance is good, the range is good. Insufficient, the underground black market has priced up to 500,000 gold coins for a real imperial arrow crossbow. Of course, this kind of black market is not in the Falcon Empire. The imperial prohibition of weapons is very cruel, but the super high profits can always make people. Dare to take risks, and no one dares to say that the ballista will not one day appear in the enemy’s camp. In fact, for the Imperial Army, which uses long-range weapons as the main means of attack and possesses more heavy weapons such as burning bombs and Thor, even In the face of a crossbow, the pressure will not be great. The ones who really feel the pressure are those countries that have not yet gotten crossbows
" If you can get a newest arrow crossbow in this battle, it would be great!" This alien-like coalition general put down the look-glass in his hand and said to himself. On him, he can see the inland sea countries. The short linen hair exposed under the helmet decorated by the favorite cuckoo bird, wearing a well-made Zhongbia style scale armor, each armor piece is polished brightly, it looks like a high-end loan" behind it is an Istanbul style The dark gold patterned golden cicada flowers and vines long cloak, the wristband in the hand is a Gaul style ring buckle,
And the monocular lens that Gang Gang put down, the upper part of the lens barrel is the eagle head marked by the Falcon Empire, such a whale scope, the Falcon Empire has only given the Strands, and now Appearing in the hands of this alien-like general is enough to show that this alien-like general is extraordinary. Behind him, stands a row of ten servants. These servants are dressed in well-equipped chain mail and are strong and tall. The muscles exposed outside the armor are daunting, and the weapon straddling the waist is a wide machete
" Honorable master! Gangjuren sent someone to ask again, they want to know when we will start the offensive! "A soldier respectfully knelt down behind him on one knee
" It’s still the same sentence. I won’t win the other country. At least half of the spoils must go to Feishan!" This coalition general turned around angrily. He is leading the coalition south to support this time. The commander-in-chief comes from the Duke Pastanon of the Feshan Kingdom. The Feshan Kingdom is a large country located in Central Europe near the Istanbul Sea. It is culturally heavily influenced by the Istanbul style.
The three uses are the slave kingdom of Feishan, and it is also a maritime power~IndoMTL.com~The control area of the inland sea overlord Strand Sea State is the middle section of the inland sea and the area close to the sea mouth, and the inland sea is a long arc area. The bottom of the sea is close to the mainland and the Feshan Kingdom’s navy is the world.
Although the Feshan Kingdom and the Yiliutan Kingdom belong to the same cultural circle, they are deadly enemies that have fought for a century.
Last winter, the Istanbul Empire entered the Congolese territory through a fleet landing. It was because the Feshan Kingdom's fleet was fighting in a certain country in the south, so the Istanbuls succeeded in a sneak attack.
In order to avoid the rapid expansion of the strength of the Istanbul after the annexation of Gangfei, the Feshan Kingdom of the Central European countries has never been taken care of. This time, they joined the queue of the Central European Union Army for the first time. The Istanbulites are taking down Gangfei. Choosing a temporary armistice after the North was also because the Feshan Kingdom’s navy began to scratch their way back.
The troops sent by the Feshan Kingdom are 15,000, which is second only to the ten thousand people in the Ruila Kingdom who wants to show the style of an inland power. Because they are not very active in fighting, they will fight for the fort at Fort Baru, Feshan There is almost no loss in the army,
In a sense, Feishan Kingdom is not very interested in confronting the Falcon Empire. The boundaries of the two countries are too far apart.
And the measures taken by the Falcon Empire to open the Inland Sea really hurt the Stranders, the opponents of the Feshan Kingdom at sea.
The Feshan Kingdom has only one goal to participate in the war, and that is to prevent the power of the Istanbul people from continuing to grow.
And now, Duke Pastanon has taken a fancy to the crossbow of the opposite Falcon Army, and other countries have also taken a fancy to it. Everyone is arguing because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.
