Power and Empire Chapter 2132: Great turning point (1)
Feshan south, east bank of the Aristi River,
In the sound of horseshoes, an Istanian golden heraldic flag came with smoke and dust. Several Istan Emperor Guards cavalry with silver armors guarding the young imperial crown prince, side horses leaped in front of the river. An undulating mound, the scene in front of him suddenly caught the eyes of the young crown prince,
The crossing order has been issued for a day, why are there so many people! "The young crown prince's ugly eyebrows are tightly twisted together, and the hand holding the riding whip slams hard,
According to his vision, as long as the main force of the army can cross the largest river in southern Feshan, it can stop and rest for rectification. This time, he gave up one-third of the elite army in one go, and placed the third and fifth The emperor’s lineage like the Legion is thrown to Feishan people. What we hope is that we can buy some time,
Before Fei Shanjun fully encircled, the main force of the army jumped out of the encirclement circle. In order to achieve this strategic goal, the young crown prince chose the strong man to break his arm! The sudden third and fifth legions were thrown to Fei Shan, which has delayed the withdrawal of the army
Your Majesty, it’s not that we didn’t work hard. The heavy rain just stopped, and the river has risen a lot. In order to build a pontoon bridge in the rushing river, we have lost more than 100 people. Now we have to withdraw 200,000 troops in a short time. It is really difficult to cross the river! "The captain of the guard next to King Thoradin I’s guard adjutant Moses explained with an ugly expression
Your name is wrong, Lord Moses, you should be called Your Majesty now! "An entourage officer beside the crown prince corrected loudly.
Your Majesty" Moses looked at the crown prince with a stunned expression, the young crown prince’s eyes flashed. There was no sound,
The emperor doesn’t know his life or death. If he wants to inherit the empire, he also needs to return to the mainland, so that he can be justified. . . . . . "Moses hesitated for a moment. As the emperor's confidant, he summoned the courage to answer with determination. But before he could finish his "Baidu Qihang text", he was interrupted by the accompanying guard officer." Lord Moses . His Majesty is no longer there. His Majesty takes the role of the crown prince. It is inevitable to inherit the throne automatically. Does Lord Moses object to this? Or does Lord Moses have ideas about the rebellious people who occupy the homeland
dare not. just. . . . . "Moses' face was slightly pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice," Your Majesty!
恩, Lord Moses, I know your loyalty to the empire, Ural is a little impatient, don’t worry too much! I will return to the Empire to be fully enthroned! "The young crown prince nodded vigorously, expressing satisfaction with his father's confidant. His face is full of the rising sun that belongs to the young monarch." Or to talk about it, when will the army be able to pass through?
With all due respect, Your Majesty. This question should be asked Master Fabroka! "A trace of embarrassment flashed across Moses' face, and a dry cough. As the person in charge of the army crossing the river, Moses said that he hadn't rested for two days. It was not that he did not try his best, and that he originally said that he had enough supplies to build the bridge. Suddenly, he had no rest. Tell him that in order to speed up the troops, most of the combat materials have been discarded, that is to say, he must change dozens of materials from the beginning to the end within two days to make 200,000 troops. The pontoon used to cross the river,
Where is Fabroka now?
Hearing this, the young crown prince’s face seemed to be covered with frost, and he asked angrily, suggesting that the army should withdraw from Fabroka. Now that this situation is happening, the responsibility lies with Fabroka. To deal with this without authorization, the young crown prince also filled with anger in his heart for the chief of staff who was extremely valued by his father, and the important minister of the empire who was called the brain of the Istanbul army.” Your Majesty, just got the news, Fab Lord Roca is sick because of physical discomfort!" A guard officer accompanying him whispered in his ear
sick?
The young crown prince grinned slightly, his eyes swept across, large and small legions crowded on the river, all kinds of flags rolled, the personnel were scattered, the Istan Empire army withdrew from the front, although there was a steady stream Crossing the river from more than 30 pontoon bridges on the river, the battle armor was shining like scales on the pontoon bridges, and managed to get out of the battle queue to cross the river, but was still stuck on the faces of the soldiers on the beach of "Sailing·Mengzi☆Xingmeng". All the wandering expressions revealed that although the river jumped out of the Fei Shan army’s full counter-kill pursuit, the morale of the army had dropped to the lowest point, and some soldiers who had crossed the pontoon were scattered on the opposite river beach. Seeing more people behind in the river channel, the nearby officers were too lazy to shout when they saw it. The mental state was very poor. The whole Istanbul army was like this. They discarded supplies in order to escape. I don’t know what Fabroka thinks. Yes, no supplies, how do you fight later?
The young crown prince’s mind echoed the situation at the previous meeting. At the emergency meeting, the head of the operations department, Faruloka, said loudly, "The Feshan people will not let go of these two fats, and If these two legions suddenly retreat, Fei Shanjun will definitely realize that they will inevitably press on with all their strength and will not give us a chance to breathe. This will be a disaster like a landslide. According to intelligence, Fei Shanjun’s main force has increased to 43. There are 10,000 people, among them, there are as many as 70,000 Fei Shan Qingqi who chased behind our army. Have you thought about it?
Under the pursuit of the 70,000 Feshan light cavalry, is it possible for the Third and Fifth Army to come back alive? On the contrary, their retreat will cause the enemy's cavalry to be unimpeded in the future, and our army will not be able to respond. At that time, it is not two legions that are lost, but a total of 300,000 Istanbul troops
Abandoning the Fifth and Third Army Corps, is this too cruel?" The voice of the young crown prince seemed unconfident, but the two imperial legions, with 100,000 lives, gave up in a word?
I know that it’s very difficult for His Highness to make such a decision. Moreover, the Third Army and the Fifth Army are both one of the six elites of the Empire’s lineage. For His Majesty’s order to give up, it must be hard for your Highness. Ka's expression was solemn, with a hint of coldness in his tone, and his eyes swept across the other generals with angry faces.
is one of the highest-ranking spies planted by the Feishan. From the very beginning, the entire Istanian army was in charge of its operations, so it is said. Although the generals were indignant, and many people even criticized him as cold-blooded in their hearts, but at this moment, he couldn't find anything wrong with Fabroka.
Your Royal Highness can ask all of you here." "Fabrocca's voice paused, and her voice suddenly increased. "If you sacrifice yourself, you can save the entire army. Even everyone here will agree without hesitation. Right
This. . . . . Of course!
As a soldier. Combat is your bounden duty!
In order to protect Your Highness, for the empire, it’s not a pity to be broken into pieces!
The faces of the generals have changed, this is a critical moment of life and death. Does anyone dare to stand up and say that he does not want to die for the empire? One by one quickly showed their loyalty, but their gazes could not help but chose to deviate from the line of sight that Fabroka scanned. This cold-blooded fellow, in a word, is like a hundred thousand imperial soldiers pushing to the death line as an imperial battle plan. What if the creator of the corps also adds his own legion to the sequence of the rear army? Who dares to offend such a person!
Fabrocca gave a military salute to the young crown prince who was still hesitating, and said with a serious face, "His Royal Highness has seen it, this is the true nature of our empire's soldiers. This is war, and the duty of soldiers is to fight. To be the future masters of the empire. It is absolutely possible to give enough glory and compensation to the people of these two legions after the war, and now, it is time for them to show their loyalty to the empire!
It takes time for our army to shrink the front, and we need to twist our fists tightly together in order to give Feishan an unexpected blow. Otherwise, don't talk about returning home. Even close to the coast is an extravagant hope. Fei Shan’s cavalry will stay behind us until we are exhausted, and we won’t be torn apart in the end!
It seems that it can be so! "While hesitating, he made the decision to sacrifice the two legions. The young crown prince with inexperience in combat finally fell into the trap of Fabroka and ordered the other troops to shrink fully, taking advantage of Fei Shan's army to surround the third and fifth legions with all their strength. With the chance of a fierce fight, the troops were ordered to evacuate towards the complex Aristi channel, but the situation was not as simple as he had imagined,
Although it was an order from the base camp, it suddenly requested a large number of front-line combat troops to evacuate. Without receiving a clear explanation, at the risk of being attacked by Fei Shan’s army, there were complaints from soldiers to officers. The sequelae of the hastily evacuated and a large number of materials discarded along the way were also revealed in the Aristide River.
Your Majesty, although I trust Master Fabroka's wisdom very much, I have to say that the decision to abandon the two main armies is a bit hasty! "The voice of Moses brought the young crown prince's thoughts back to reality, and said to him opposite," Lord Fabrocca pointed out at the meeting that the third and fifth armies, which were too precipitous, could not be withdrawn, and they were completely taken for granted. the result of! The two main armies of the empire, with a total of 100,000 combat troops, if they can get a reasonable arrangement, most of them can definitely be withdrawn, and we don't need to shrink so hastily, so that the current situation is very passive!
The young crown prince did not make a sound, but his face became more gloomy. He listened to Moses' nagging in his ear, but his fingers were tightly clasped together.
The suggestion was made by Fabrocca, but the person who made the decision was himself. Moses was obviously referring to Sang Huai. In fact, he was talking about his lack of experience, experience, and experience. Could it be that all military strategists in history have Is it someone who has experience since birth? Couldn't an inexperienced person command the battle? Although I have no experience in commanding a large army, I have experienced the entire battle between Congo and Fei by the side of the first emperor. My own landing operations on the coast are also a remarkable classic. How can these guys' heads? Can it be so rigid!
I am a natural king, so it is natural to have Wang Yun in his body, whether he has experience or not, and how much it matters! If it wasn't for Moses' tiredness, and he was the emperor's confidant, his elders, who would want to be here! The situation is really bad. In order to be able to build many pontoons to pass such a huge army, the Istanbul Army, lacking in supplies, still had to mobilize manpower to go thirty miles away despite being constantly approached by Fei Shan’s army. It took two full days to cut down trees in the forest and transport them back and forth. It took two full days to finally complete these pontoon bridges.
In the past two days, the battle on the front line also spread like the wind. The Fifth Army was defeated, the Third Army was besieged and annihilated, and the defenders of the Istan Army had already fought against the Seventh Army of the Feshans.
The young crown prince of the Istanian Empire also noticed some problems at this time. Is it worth abandoning two elite legions just to get through this river? Crossed this river. The road to return to China is still very slim. Hundreds of thousands of Fei Shan’s troops are still pushing in with all their strength. The nearest legion is less than fifty miles away from the army. Even if it is because this river has temporarily got some respite, what can it be? Can't see hope and victory, and be confused about the future. This is the biggest crisis for the 200,000 Istanbul army, and he hastily ordered the mobilization of the entire army's defense line. The consequences are extremely serious. If the army does not gather together, it means that it has strong combat effectiveness. If you can even see this, you can see it. After many years of fighting, will the empire’s first think tank Fabroka, who has been extremely experienced, fail to see it? The young crown prince's heart trembled fiercely, how do you look at it, Fabroka pointed out a hopeless dead end from the very beginning!
Your Majesty, look!
Suddenly, an emperor's guard next to him pointed his finger to the back, and the young crown prince looked in the direction of his finger, his pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw a long black and red line appearing on the distant horizon, billowing in smoke and dust, and faintly seeing the cold flashes of the armor. The number of these Fei Shan cavalry is not that many, about five or six thousand men, but the momentum of rapid advance made the Istan Empire army who has not crossed the river on the river beach panicked.
is Fei Shan's light cavalry, and the Fourth Army behind the palace is overwhelmed!
An emperor's guard took a breath. These light cavalry, wearing Feshan's red and black armor, were extremely fast, and aimed straight at the Istan Army reserve who was crossing the river. Countless lances are mounted in a neat direction, and the small pennant at the front of the lance is wrapped tightly against the barrel of the gun, like a giant steel arrow advancing at high speed.
All the cavalry come with me!
Moses reined his horse sharply, and raised his hand to the cavalry behind him. As an experienced battlefield veteran, Moses knew very well that if the Feshan light cavalry was allowed to enter from behind, the river beach No matter how much Istan army is on, it will become chaotic. Nobody knows whether these Fei Shan light cavalry is a forward force or if there are more Fei Shan army behind to cover up, "Your Majesty, please cross the river immediately! Moses looked at the young crown prince, and shouted anxiously to the guard next to the young crown prince, "What are you still doing? Don’t protect your Majesty to cross the river immediately!
The thick fog in the morning sun, the horses are like thunder,
This encounter broke out so suddenly, without even the most basic transition, it directly entered the high tide. The 6,000 light cavalry of Feshan's 7th Army who came from the flanking coast were like a The sharp knife was inserted into the back of the Istanbul army. "Kill" the cavalry on both sides collided heavily, and the murderous shouts resounded across the earth,
Kill, stop them! "Moses was wearing a blue heavy armor, and a horse rushed in first, and the red cloak behind him was rolled like a battle flag, and the hoofs of the war horse slammed on the ground.
kill! kill! kill!
Istanian cavalry chased by Fei Shan’s army all the way down, the number is not inferior to that of the opponent, the sound of horses’ hoofs has concealed all the sounds in the sky and the earth, rows of cold stabbing guns pierced the armor, provoking like flowers The dark red, the cavalry on both sides flapped vigorously. The earth trembled under the footsteps of horses. All kinds of shouts and slashing sounds have been mixed into sounds like ocean tides. This is a contest between fighters, like guillotines that are constantly squeezed forward one after another. One team rushes in, and the second team presses in. The third team. . . , Until the horses of both sides collided with each other, "Shields, armors, weapons, bodies, because the distance is too close, everything that can be hit has become a powerful weapon to attack each other
The sharp cavalry weapons slammed into each other, and the cavalry above rolled down like being hit by a heavy hammer. Rows of cavalry were swept by the rumble, the horses put down their masks, and the cavalry spears hurriedly Lay flat. The entire row of spears almost didn't even list the most basic shock queue. The front team rushed into the opponent's array like crazy, "rush, crush!" There was a cracking sound from the front, and the cavalry behind. Suddenly, the cavalry rushed into the formation like a flood and a flood on IndoMTL.com. In any dynasty, at any time, it is enough to initiate the animalism in the blood. The two sides collided like two long steel walls that collided at high speed. After a period of people turned their horses upside down, they vigorously brandished their weapons and smashed any obstructing objects in front of them. ,
Master , on the east bank of the Aristi River, the Seventh Army Qingqi captured the main force of the Istanis!
A messenger cavalry came galloping over and stopped in front of a sturdy middle-aged General Fei Shan’s horse. This general Fei Shan was tall and strong, riding on a war horse in heavy armor, like a mountain bear with the corner of his eyes. There is a scar that is curved like a snake, which is even more hideous.
Behind him, the red and black armor of Fei Shan’s army spread over the ground like a tide. Tens of thousands of cavalry were divided into several queues and marched slowly on the flanks.
Behind the black and overwhelming cavalry, Fei Shan’s light buckler infantry lined up in a square formation one after another, moving forward in a tight and orderly manner.
Thousands of leather boots neatly pressed across the ground, trampling the ground very flat. The army of tens of thousands, apart from the sound of footsteps, had no other sounds, only countless Fei Shan flags. Grinning in the wind,
The speed of the Seventh Army is so fast! Aristide River, what are the Istanbul Army doing there? "This General Fei Shan stopped the horse and grinned with a confused mouth. No matter what, let's move closer to the Seventh Army as ordered,
raised his hand, he shouted, "The whole army hastened to turn to the Aristide channel! Let's go and capture the highness of the Istanian crown prince!" [To be continued] []
