Power and Empire Chapter 2087: The Empire’s Counterattack (2)
Rila South, Furui area,
This terrain is a small corner on the southern border of the Kingdom of Rila. It is inconspicuous in its strategic location. It is located on a semi-high plateau, with relatively sparse vegetation and a dry climate. The melting water of the snowy mountains in the north does not extend to this point. The rivers and lakes are extremely small. There are only a few small diversions, and the temperature changes greatly during the day and night.
With the advent of summer, the scorching sun is scorching the earth, transpiring and heating up, making people feel the tingling sensation every moment. In the unique cold and hot plateau climate, the Furui area is formed Because of the abundant mines, it is enough to make all surrounding areas jealous. One-third of the iron ore in Ruila comes from the Furui mining area. There are 3,000 Ruira troops stationed here all the year round, but with the Ruira army in The defeat of the border area, this precious area finally fell into the hands of the Silas people who had coveted this place for many years,
The 7th Legion of the Silas Army is stationed here. The general is called the Marquis of Nicholas Dahua. This Marquis who has some side bloodlines of the Silas royal family is a typical Silas nobleman, so lofty and accustomed. In addition to living in the humid plains, where can I stand such a dry climate, especially for the harsh weather here, I am extremely disgusted,
The semi-plateau that has rolled up the storm often turns into an area full of yellow sand,
This climate is like **** for the Marquis lord. He spent expensive sebum to maintain his skin. In this weather, he needs to wipe it three times a day, and the sky looks gray and there is nothing A bit of fun, you need a guard to cover your hair when walking, otherwise it will turn the elegant curls that took two hours to curl into a chicken coop. Most of the houses here are messy, and there is nothing that can be called art. Things existed, shabby, and dirty, and there was an unbearable smell wafting from the street. Every time the Marquis-sama was asked to go out, he needed to cover his nose with a handkerchief. The Furui mining area was originally the area used by the Ruila Kingdom to force criminals to work. For this marquis, it was just like exile.
Among the towering ramparts of the city walls, the thatched houses are like yellow ground under the grass stalks. On the high ground to the left of the camp, a small dilapidated castle stands tall, with only half of the collapsed wall remaining. In the circle, the top of the second floor of the castle is covered with tall weeds, and there are lots of low grass sheds outside the castle. You need to bend when you walk in and out, otherwise you will run into it, and you won’t get hurt, but it’s hard to say whether the shed will collapse. This is the former prison of the Rilla army. After the Silas army was stationed, the officer Let the soldiers live in such an environment, only officers are qualified to live in better castles,
The Seventh Army of Silas, far from the main battlefield, has a full number of 15,000. The actual number of troops is only 8,000. The extra vacancies are the salaries of 373 legion officers below the legion commander. For the seventh legion who was transferred here, the seventh legion commander of Silas, Nichols The Marquis of Dahua thinks. The only thing about Furui is that it is not the main battlefield. From a strategic point of view, it is almost worthless strategic cecum. "If Furui does not have an enemy, it can only be after the entire defense line is lost." I only need to wait here until the end of the war, so that the Seventh Army from him is filled with a wave of never seeing. To the enemy's thoughts.
This idea of was broken in this lazy afternoon. Under the hot air pressure of summer, the plateau wind was blowing the gray dust, blowing across the ears, and there was a depressing rumbling sound. In order to avoid the dust, the side guards of the 7th Legion of Silas who could not bear the suffering all hid. This is a place on the edge of the main battlefield. The enemy will never come. No one can see it. It is hiding. At the end of the earth where they were looking, there was a muffled echo mingled with the sound of wind and dust.
It is a black line on the gray horizon between heaven and earth, jumping out like a black wave. This black line spreads at an astonishing speed. It is the echo of a huge cavalry group stepping on the ground. Down, it was smoke and dust that suddenly swooped down from the slopes of the wasteland like a goshawk. The dust filled the sky and obscured most of the front line of sight. Otherwise, the Sentinels of Silas would find that the cavalry of the tens of thousands of Imperial Central Army cavalry The cloak was also fluttering in the wind, red as if stained with blood, as if a dazzling blood stream was coming,
Until the slightly trembling ground turned into a violent vibration, the roar of the earth, the moment countless black cavalry swept forward from a height, the "enemy attack" finally heard the sound of the guard tower, but this The voice was so weak that it was already indistinguishable from the sound of rolling horseshoes. With the gray smoke and dust, the cavalry suddenly jumped over a trench outside the ground, like a boundless black wave slamming on the seventh in Silas. On the defensive line of the legion’s periphery, the sky was screaming, and the overwhelming cavalry group leaped into the low-lying Furui mining area like a frenzy. At this time, the sharp cavalry spear, if a sharp sword, plunged deep into Silas ahead. The camp of the 7th Legion's resident, like a heavy hammer, suddenly rolled up a wave of red blood in the Silas Army. . . . . .
"Kill!"
The thousand-man squadron arranged in the outer extension did not even have time to assemble. It was dissipated by the swiftly descending cavalry and turned into pieces of meat trampled by countless horses. The queue has already collided with the black iron stream coming from ahead, the tragic sound of the flesh and blood body being hit by the horse has not stopped, and the line of cold light flashing imperial cavalry spears has been like a blood. Pushing the wall of killing,
The soldier in the front row was pierced by a long spear, and along the way, it was violently provoked by the high-speed war spur gun, pushing and continuing to crash into the body of the second soldier. The blood between the two was like being squeezed. The tomato sauce exploded. The second row and the third row, the soldiers running in a panic in the Silas camp were trampled on by war horses and killed by stabbing guns.
The war horses with shock spikes swept across the hayloft that had no firmness to speak of, and the Silas soldiers inside were trampled to death by heavy horseshoes. The range of advancement was so large and the speed was so fast that you could see from the ground of the camp. Going up as if a piece was cut off, flesh and blood fighting with steel. In front of extreme fear, Silas soldiers were pushed and rolled back, like a large piece of sardines caught in a net. Pressed together, they were back to back, their trembling hands could hardly hold the spears in their hands, and they gathered together with a kind of survival instinct. Using all his strength to stab the long spear in his hand, even if it was bounced off by the opponent's horse's vest because of insufficient angle and strength, the black cavalry on the horse sneered, and the heavy steel thorn flail smashed his head. /
In just ten minutes, the black cavalry rushed to the middle of the camp. This is the area where the regular Silas soldiers are located. The cavalry spear shot the people high in the air and pierced them. The melee long sword slashed the heads of the crowd flying all over the sky. Heads and broken limbs were flying all over the sky, and the scene was extremely tragic. At such a terrifying speed, these regular soldiers were completely stunned. Who is the enemy? Where does the enemy come from? Their minds were blank, and their sights were full of leaping and bumping eyes. Taking advantage of the horses, the three-meter cavalry spear that hits like a hurricane in the dark is like a sickle of death. It rushes into the body with a powerful stinging spear. The jitter strangling innocently. The sharp tip of the gun penetrated their bodies, and the blood exploded in front of their bodies like safflowers,
"Ah, "The wailing of the pierced soldier and the mourning before his death filled everyone's ears, and the soldier next to him looked at the war horse pushing the soldier forward with amazement. Soon there was no trace of it. The feeling was like some kind of brutal beast running with its prey in its mouth, blood pouring down with the wind and rain on the pale faces of these Silas soldiers.
"This...not...what's the situation!"
Seventh Army Commander Nicholas Dahua's hair curled up with curly hair that had not yet dried egg whites. He stared dumbly at the four hundred Silas Cavalry in the center of the camp, the headquarters of the Seventh Army. Just dressed neatly and ready to mount with a lance, they staggered and collided with a group of black cavalry that came on.
"Kill" the horse neighs. The two armies staggered like a torrent, and the cavalry that collided with each other rolled from their horses to the ground. The knights on horses were like wooden planks squeezed away by heavy hammers. The armor on the body broke under the strong multi-level attack,
The galloping black cavalry is like a straight bow, struggling to stretch out the blood-stained spear in his hand, and the red blood is immediately shot out from the chest of a Silas cavalry officer on the opposite side and spilled here. The face of a black cavalry made him look very hideous,
The front of the camp was completely breached in a short period of time. Thousands of corpses were lying on the ground, and the troops placed in the front row were also compressed in a very small area. The Seventh Army had a combat force of 8,000. In just ten minutes, it was severely damaged by one-third, and collapsed countlessly,
June 3rd, one noon
On the southern battlefield of Rila, Rila’s army completely retreated. When the Hungarian and Silas coalition forces advanced aggressively, the 11,000 Imperial Central Army cavalry led by Jaglins moved from the unattended strategic cecum Furui. The mining area entered the south, opening the curtain of the Empire's counterattack
With the high mobility and quick lethality of the cavalry, Yaglins aimed directly at the Silas military defense zone with extremely poor combat effectiveness. He first defeated the Seventh Army of Silas, and then turned to the Fifth Army of Silas. The Rilla Frontier Army served as a guide, and the 40,000 troops of the Silas Army, which entered the unit, were hit by more than 10,000 Central Army cavalry. They suffered heavy casualties and discarded countless bags, which was a blow to the heart of Silas’ army. It’s even more incalculable.” Often when a target is attacked, the support units on its flanks or nearby are also in a state of being harassed by other cavalry units almost at the same time. If you can see it from the big map, these seem to be messy. The attack showed terrible disturbance,
The combat power of the Silas army is inherently poor. Even in the era of the Rilla, it was only used as an auxiliary army on the battlefield. Where can you have the courage to face such a fierce enemy alone, even if it may be in a certain limited area Inside, the Silas Army has an overall advantage in strength, but facing the wandering of the cavalry, it is completely at a disadvantage that it is impossible to form mutual support. It is in a bewildered fight and attacked vaguely, inexplicably. The defeat, even the commander in question, can’t explain what the situation is,
The Silas light infantry has never faced this tactic. Under the sudden and violent blow, the entire Silas army is like a woman with a skirt lifted off the street, in a situation where there is still time to react. Down, it was already broken all the way, was beaten dizzy, completely at a loss, the opposing cavalry with excellent mobility, swift flank assault, has completely overwhelmed the Silas people, like a flock of sheep encountered a head of hunger. Wolf, looking at dozens of battle reports on various situations like snow flakes in his hand every day, the Silas base camp on the border can't judge the real battle situation at all, and where is the opponent's main attack direction? Where do these cavalry want to attack? The general Silas, who looked at each other, looked at the map full of lines in confusion, they could only whisper to themselves who will be attacked next,
In the early days, the main force of the Silas army, who was still proud of the victory, was achieved. Under such a stormy head-on headache, I was completely at a loss. It was clear that I had just received the news that the Second Army’s own team had been attacked. Within 10 minutes, I received the fifth one who was 20 miles away from the attack point. The battle report of the defeated legion, 20 miles apart? Where is the enemy? It has become the most perplexing problem for the Silas army base camp. They feel that they are fighting an invisible giant, and the other’s foot is thicker than their waist
"The Hungarians, what are the Hungarians doing!"
King Silas is already hysterical. The report of the attack was like a reminder. The only thing he can do now is to order the troops that have entered the country of Ruila, plus the subsequent reinforcements from the country, and nearly 80,000 Silas troops are all sent to the army. Base camp closer
But the attack continues, the enemy is not only cunning, but also ferocious,
These shuddering cavalry with elite combat power never set themselves up to fight with them. Instead, they use the high mobility of the cavalry to appear in all directions, floating like the wind, advancing and retreating suddenly. Fiercely attack your flanks and rear army, or chase your transport team all the way to slash and slash,
In just three days, more than ten thousand Silas soldiers died in battle. The horrific situation of the collapse of more than 20,000 people has made the Silas army worried day and night,
Dealing with cavalry is the weakness of Silas light infantry. Even if they did match up, they were immediately killed by the opponent and couldn't find North, so that when they went to bed at night, I didn't know who shouted that the cavalry was coming, and it caused the morale of the two Silas army to be low The legions were dragged into the disintegrated escape even because they were too close.
On the fourth day after receiving the attack on the Silas army, the cavalry of the Eastern Hungarian Army began to promise to deal with the imperial cavalry that shocked the Silas people.
It’s just in this strange land. The Hungarian cavalry is also at a loss. The southern part of Rila says it’s not big, and it’s not too small. Thousands of cavalry are thrown in. It’s like a grass, and I feel like It's like fighting the air, every fist hits it misses, and the enemy's blows to the small troops from all over the place, every punch it hits can make oneself painful for a long time. Obviously there are only 10,000 opponents, but using this guerrilla tactics, they are like a fish in the water in the vast world of southern Rila. This point undoubtedly made the Hungarians aware of it,
The opponent is definitely a true master of cavalry maneuvering, knowing that the essence of guerrilla warfare lies in guerrilla warfare without attacking, and the shot must be ruthless.
In addition to the advantages of local warfare, if there is no more than three times the strength of the troops, it is completely impossible to control its mobility. However, the weakness of the Silas' weak combat power makes the Hungarians more and more dissatisfied, and they are not afraid of gods. Opponents are afraid of teammates like pigs. That’s it. Silas’s low morale has reached the point where it’s broken at the touch of a touch.
" Military officials, these Silas soft eggs have no fighting power, and they will only drag the horseshoes of our Hungarian army, and their subordinates request to fight alone! "A Hungarian who is nearly two meters tall Commander Wan, at this moment, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, complained to the Hungarian army chief Baidulasu"
He is also a well-known leader of the Hungarian army, and he considers himself a master of mobile guerrilla. This time he spent a lot of effort~IndoMTL.com~ carefully arranged, finally caught an opportunity, with 20,000 Hungarians The Cavalry and the 30,000 Silas Army formed an encirclement and used the Silas Army as a bait to lure the Imperial Cavalry in. However, the result was that the Silas Army that was assisting in the fight was broken and was hunted. The Eagle Empire cavalry walked away calmly, giving up all previous achievements. What surprised and angered him, the straightforward Hungarian, was that only a thousand Silas died in the hands of the imperial cavalry, but they were scattered because of the collapse. The unordered retreat and the collapsed, crowded and trampled deaths, coupled with the lack of effective treatment and wounded Silas army, as many as more than 12,000 people,
is almost the strength of a Silas legion, because his trampling panic is gone, even if this situation pushes the worst auxiliary army of Hungary up, it will not be able to fight such a jaw-dropping brilliant result.
Can’t see ? The other party has only one intention, which is to hold us back by hitting the Silas."
Baidu Rasu is experienced, with a sigh in his eyes and said, "As far as I know, many of the imperial cavalry in front of us are cavalry from the northern grasslands, like a pack of wolves. The cooperating and dispersing assaults are even stronger than our elites. For a hundred years, we Hungarians have lost the wolves-like coordination and seamless tactics. I didn’t expect to be here. Encountered, this should have belonged to our Hungarian hunting instinct, but now it is seen in the enemy's cavalry, which is really a great irony!"
