Power and Empire Chapter 2126: Black August (4)
The sloping fields are chaotically, the rainstorm is hitting the gorgeous army flag, the rain is like a messy and broken bead pounding on the muddy ground, like a turbulent flow rolling frantically on this land, Leo, commander of the Third Army of the Istanian Empire Marquis Carter, there is blood in front of him at this moment,
On August 7th, Fei Shanjun, who was already in a state of complete suppression, suddenly broke out a counterattack force that the Istanbul army had never expected.
" Bastard, what's going on? What do the guys in the war department do for food!
The commander of the Third Army, Leo Carter, at the forefront of the Fei Shan front, was holding a whip and his hands were tightly whitish, with eagle-like eyes, full of hideous bloodshots,
He just got the news from the front. The Fei Shan army in front of him is rapidly increasing. The inferior forces that have been suppressed by him have become much thicker. A large number of cavalry appeared behind the infantry cluster and turned into infantry. The mixed cluster of cavalry is a bad omen. The role of cavalry in defense is very limited, but it is an offensive weapon. The Fei Shan army, which was originally in a defensive posture, added cavalry to Leo Carter. The bad taste makes him feel incredible,
There was such a large number of intensive mobilizations overnight, even a blind person could hear that the sound was wrong, but the Imperial War Department seemed to be completely invisible! The intelligence from the Department of Operations hardly mentioned this. It seems that the entire frontline of the war was silenced collectively at once.
Until the Third Army’s emergency request report was submitted, the sentence "Pending investigation!" came out slowly from it.
"To be checked?"
With this reply, Leo Carter's teeth were almost broken. After Nima's investigation, what did he think it was? This is the battlefield. The situation is changing rapidly, and a little carelessness is the life and death of tens of thousands of troops. One sentence for investigation, it's too light! What is thinking in the heads of these guys who are scratching the battle map every day!
The enemy on the opposite side has assembled forces, and the total attack has entered the countdown. One to be investigated, can appease the desperate heart of the 50,000 empire soldiers below? Can the battlefield situation get better? It was still possible to scare the enemy Fei Shan to suspend the attack!
" ordered the whole army to stand firm!" Leo Carter ordered the troops to be withdrawn to the defensive chaotic mound. As the six most elite first-line legions of the Istanian Empire, the Third Army’s weapons and equipment are also in front of the first-line legions among the emperors.
Commander Leo Carter is thirty-six years old this year. He is energetic and has a firm style. His army is also tough. In the world of Istanbul, he has the nickname of the Thunder Lion Corps. He fought against the Congolese Empire last year. It was his Third Army that was the first to break into Kyoto in the Congo Empire,
As the contemporary patriarch of the imperial general Menleo family, Leo Carter joined the Emperor’s Guards at the age of sixteen. He joined the Southern Frontier Army as a guard squadron at the age of twenty-one and trained in the South at the age of twenty-three. In the battle of the Karoos, Leo Carter was already the commander of the 3,000-man side legion.
In the battle of Southern Hearthglen, Leo Carter led an infantry of 6,000 men and stubbornly withstood the elite left-wing army of 17,000 in Karoo, and annihilated the 50,000 Karoo army in the main battlefield. Military exploits. In that battle, King Karu, who was ambitious and provoked the Istan Empire, was defeated and captured, and the Karu people quelled the war at the cost of cede three provinces.
Thirty-one years old, Leo Carter, deputy commander of the Eleventh Thousand Front Army in the south of the empire, was promoted to commander of the Third Army Corps by the Emperor, and took over the position of his father, Leo Robasa, and became Leo at the same time. The seventh-generation Patriarch of the family, the Third Legion of the Empire, is one of the six main armies of the Empire, and it is also the family legion of the Leo family. The entire legion is based on the children of the Leo family of previous generations. Among the 1,700 officers at all levels in the entire legion, more than 1,400 have the surname Leo. The whole army is well prepared,
precisely because of the family structure. There has been a record of arrogance of 60% of the battle loss without collapse. In the century-old battle against Feshan, the emperor of Istanbul also took this army as the focus of the forefront. If the 300,000 Istanbul army is rolling towards The former Iron Flow, then the Third Army is the tip of the gun at the front end of the Imperial Iron Current that can break through obstacles. Leo Carter did not live up to the emperor’s expectations. The Third Army was the first Istan Army to break the key defense of Fei Shan’s army. It was the first Istan Corps whose front had been less than one hundred and fifty miles away from King Feishan.
is like a sharp edge into the Fei Shan army’s defense line. It forced the Fei Shan people to bleed continuously twice, and had to give up some areas to reduce the pressure. It was also a sharp thorn in the eyes of Fei Shan people. At this moment, the high ground where the Third Army is. The flag still fluttered, but looking around from under Leo Carter's feet, it was just a horror of flesh and blood. On the wide battlefield, Fei Shanjun rolled like a wave, the high and low depressions, the muddy and unevenness washed by the rain, Countless sharp lances slapped on the front of the line of defense,
The front of the Third Army, infantry regiments, squadrons, squads, various flags and flags have been overturned for the first time,
The force of the Fei Shan people this time is the highest in the previous attack. From the density of the opposite, it can be seen that more than 50,000 troops are spread out frontally, which can be described as overwhelming, and the spear is towering like a forest. , The ocean of steel is dazzling, and the oppressive force gathered by thousands of people is oncoming,
Only at the front, the Fei Shan army spread out to reach dozens of thousand-man squadrons, with uncountable heavy infantry in the middle, advancing in a fan shape. Countless battle flags that flutter with the wind are like the ocean, almost covering the rain curtain of the earth, neatly stepped, falling and lifting, it seems that the ground is trembling,
If it weren’t the line of defense built by the chaotic slopes, it would be the pass of two interconnected steep mountains, like a huge gate that blocked Fei Shanjun’s throat, so that Fei Shanjun could only enter about 10,000 troops at a time. The Third Army has long been dispersed by the influx of the opposing force,
Even if the military strength cannot be fully deployed, the intensity of the fighting is still not inferior to any major battle. Since the early morning, the two armies have been fighting in a staggered battle here, and the infantry queues entered, and Fei Shan’s army showed it. 'S willpower and morale are amazing,
braved the downpour and struggling in the mud, Fei Shanjun was only under the cover of bows and arrows, holding spears and tomahawks, bending down and climbing over the open ground with a **** of fifty degrees in front of them, and they held them from the top of their heads. Arrow rain covered. Shouted and launched an overwhelming impact on the gable built by the Third Army on the mound.
The comrade in front fell down, and the Fei Shan soldiers at the back stepped over their bodies without changing their faces and moved on. It seemed that there was a steady stream of tides, wave after wave hitting the defensive positions of the Third Army. As if to tear up everything that was blocking them,
The pile of corpses lying under the soil wall has a **** of more than one meter. The blood mixed with the rain and the water slid down like a stream. This kind of battle continued until the afternoon, when the two sides attacked as if they had a tacit understanding. The troops retreated, and the third legion above also took a chance to rest, and everything quickly returned to calm.
The blood of the warring soldiers stained the muddy ground crimson. The corpses, broken spears, broken tomahawks, broken bows and arrows, the most beautiful mountain **** in the past, shattered into pieces. The military flag of, choked in the evening rain, made people feel an uncontrollable sadness. In this silent world, there are only those vultures chasing corpses with their feathers soaked in the rain. In the constant fluttering ups and downs, happy as if attending a banquet,
"Is there any news about the Flanking Fifth Army? At this time. They should take the initiative to move closer to us!" Leo Carter sat down tiredly to rest, and asked the captain of the messenger cavalry next to him, "There will be no problems on the road!" "
"It shouldn't be!" The captain of the cavalry commander was a little embarrassed. "We sent three teams. Unless Fei Shanjun cuts in, there will be no problem."
"That's good!"
Leoka nodded, and one of the guards looked to the rear in surprise. A rush of horses hooves came. Only an Istanian general in heavy armor, anxious looking forward. From the horse. Before the horse stopped, the body could not support it and fell off the horse. It rolled a few times in the mud that fell on the ground,
"It's Lord Rosander! "The guards nearby rushed into the rain. Helping the general up from the mud, Leo Carter also stood up. He also recognized it. The person here was Rosander, the commander of the First Corps of the Fifth Army on the flank of the Third Army. At this moment, Rosander The broken armor on his body has been broken several times, and some are still frozen with blood. Under the rain that hits on the body, it brings a **** smell. His arrival made the original atmosphere extremely suppressed. ’S main formation suddenly became solemn,
Rosander-sama looks like this, is there something wrong with the flanks? No, everyone's heart trembled a bit. Leo Carter walked over quickly against the heavy rain regardless of his demeanor.
"Rosander, you are not guarding the flanks, what are you doing here!"
"Flanks?" Rosander looked at Leo Carter in surprise, as if thinking of something, he obviously took a breath of air, and quickly said, "Isn't your lord received the request for help from our army?"
"The Fifth Army's request for help! Leo Carter's face was taken aback, feeling that the situation was worse than he had imagined. When Fei Shan was attacking himself, he still had enough power to attack the Fifth Army. , It was definitely Fei Shan’s main force gathering. "When did I never receive any news about the Fifth Army, let alone a request for help!" Are you sure you sent out a request for help? "
" I’m pretty sure, I have sent no less than three batches of cavalry!" Rosander said with a trembling voice, like a thunderbolt hitting everyone." The Feishan launched an offensive in the early morning. The strongest Lu Lin heavy cavalry was dispatched as the forerunner, and the Ketang heavy infantry with a strength of more than 50,000 followed up and broke through the Carross mound in one fell swoop. The Fifth Army has collapsed! , And they are all talking..." Rosander's voice suddenly showed an unconcealable whimper, and his body was covered in mud. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that he was two meters tall and put on the forged iron armor. Rosander, who was feared by the enemy and called Iron Slaughter, would cry like a child at this moment.
This is too abnormal, could it be worse! Leo Carter's face turned pale, he lifted Rosandra up and asked loudly, "What are you talking about? Although the Fifth Army is not as powerful as the Third Army, it is dominated by the family, but its strength is as high as 37,000. How could the first-line army of humans collapse at once? The collapse of the Fifth Army means that the Third Army has lost its support. It is an unbearable battle. It is even more ugly. If Fei Shan’s army flanks behind, how can the Third Army fight bravely? It’s a dead end,
If it’s just a death in battle, it’s fine, but the third legion, relative to the Leo family’s private army, if all were destroyed here, for more than a hundred years, generations of Leo family have used life and blood to forge the legion. , Was ruined in this way, Leo Carter didn't dare to think about it, the Third Army was all killed, and Leo's family was left with only a bunch of old and weak women and children!
Rosander's voice is like tearing a drum, and the ghost crying and howling is in my ears" I heard Lord Merlot say that something happened to the emperor on his way home! Now the empire is completely messed up! Some ministers wrote, Asked the Crown Prince to return to the army at all costs. The two Imperial regiments behind us are evacuating. The Third Army and the Fifth Legion have been regarded as abandoned by the Crown Prince to stop Fei Shan's army from pursuing them! If it weren't for Lord Merlot I received a secret letter, we are still in the dark! ",
"No, this is absolutely impossible, how could your majesty...you are talking nonsense!" Leo Carter let go of his hand, almost stupid, his body trembled slightly, his hands clenched suddenly, his knuckles rattled, his face changed. I am afraid of people, the emperor, how could something happen to the emperor, isn’t there still 30,000 elite guards?
The Merlot spoken by Rosander is the commander of the Fifth Army. He is a member of the Imperial Chancellor’s faction. "This time, the Emperor will lead the Guards back to counter the rebellion. From the perspective of time, it should be already here. The empire is right. Who has the courage to spread such rumors!
"Master Leo, can't hesitate anymore! Now we can leave, it is still possible to run out!" Rosander said anxiously, "If we wait until Fei Shan's main force completes the encirclement! The third legion will die and there will be no burial place. !"
Leo Carter’s face was silent. He believed that Rosander would not lie to him. The relationship between the two was extraordinary. At the beginning, he was training in the Southern Frontier. One of Leo Carter’s confidants was Rosander. Later, it was Leo Carter who brought this little southern nobleman into the imperial capital, so Leo Carter knew that Rosander would not lie to himself. Judging from Rosander's embarrassment, it was obvious that after the collapse of the legion, he risked his death against the current. Came here, and encountered Fei Shan cavalry along the way, which means that the flanks of the Fifth Army have been cut off by Fei Shan!
, there is no news at all, plus the previous copy of "Pending Investigation' Leo Carter feels like he was blindfolded with his eyes and ears
Base Camp gave up the 3rd Army!
It is not difficult to understand why the news of the collapse of the flank did not know until Rosander arrived that he and the Third Army were indeed abandoned,
"Why!"
Leo Carter’s mouth was filled with bitterness~IndoMTL.com~ There was a huge anger in his heart. Such actions by the Crown Prince are really chilling! His eyes swept across the fierce battlefield in front of the fierce battle, the wind blew, and the hair under the helmet stalks, but it trembled in the wind, the defeat was like a mountain, and the emperor painstakingly planned the fruits of victory for so long. Did you give up so easily...what the **** is going on! Just when Leotel hesitated, an exclamation came from the front. The soldiers of the Third Legion who were taking a break all stood up and looked straight ahead
The rain hit the face, and also hit the heart of the Third Army. The Fei Shan people's strength increased again. This time, it was a total attack!
Leo Carter saw the countless Feshan army, as if suddenly emerging out of thin air from the opposite side. Well-equipped troops marched into the stalemate battlefield. In the rolling wind and rain, they were in groups. The horse squad continued to emerge. The upright Fei Shan light cavalry carrying the four-meter-long light cavalry spear was also dazzling in the rain. The sharp spears lined up like a long river, and the entire attack array was becoming a huge Scissors, white raindrops hit a piece of blood-red Feshan cavalry armor, reflecting a coquettish light,
" This is!" Leo Carter's hands were held tightly together, the rain moistened the air, and Shan suffocated desperately, and the Feishan people completed the encirclement! Otherwise, I will never reveal my strength without hiding it
