Power and Empire Chapter 2136: The big turning point (5)
The land is picturesque, a navy blue goshawk winged up in the sky, and the huge wings stretched by the wind dragged a dazzling arc in the blue sky, wide open Beneath the wing are the spires of numerous houses in huge cities, the vast forests of emerald-colored flowers, and the huge mountains that meander towards the east. The winding bends of the big river are sparkling in the sun. , The green and blue waters are cascading around the fleet, and the white sails stand like a forest, powerful and prosperous, ruling everything. "This is the future of the Istanian Empire,
Imperial Crown Prince, the future emperor of Istanbul, from the moment he was born, the content of indoctrination he received, he is the master of the future world, he is the empire, the master of this land, such a beautiful scene and In the future, all of this will be reversed and changed just a dozen days ago. When he heard that the emperor was missing on his way home, the crown prince would already feel his destiny, like a meteor across the sky, unknowingly deviating from what should be. The trajectory of death, the passing of Thoradin I in brilliance, changed the trajectory of the entire empire, and also changed the fate of countless people. The sudden death of an emperor, the death with him, and the age of prosperity, caused all these results. The chief culprit was the Falcon Empire. Moses wanted to bow his head to the Falcon Empire and survive without humiliation. How could this be possible!
The earth shook violently, and there was the sound of people coming and going, and the neighing of the horses came into the ears. The crown prince who leaned on the rock wall of the cave with most of his body trembled slightly. He woke up from his sleep and blinked. , What you see is a dark cave, dark and humid, abnormally cold, a pile of fires that are almost extinguished,
A heavy armored empire veteran Moses walked in with the chill outside. "Your Majesty, the rain has stopped!" The veteran Moses sat down opposite with a tired look.
" The situation is not very good!" said the veteran Moses. "I just went to inspect. Although morale is low, there are still 140,000 people in the army. As long as it is properly arranged, it can be supported for a period of time, but it can't be sustained. How long will it be troublesome once you get into a hard fight"
"What does trouble mean?"
The young crown prince struggled to sit up, his body aches, and his hand subconsciously touched his sword. In this cold world, this is his only support. As for the veteran Moses, the imperial general who can say that, his loyalty is worth considering. In this cave, now there are only two of him and himself,
"Speak bluntly, we will collapse the whole army!"
Moses took a deep breath with a pale face, "I have a hunch. Fei Shanjun’s total attack should have been in these two days. This heavy rain will not stop Fei Shan for long, as long as the rain stops. Fei Shan people The general attack of the army will begin. This, whether it is Fei Shan or us. Everyone knows this! Instead of wasting limited supplies in the chaos, it is better to concentrate on an elite team. All the skilled archers are gathered together. The main target is these Fei Shan light cavalry, who are always looking for opportunities.
"In order to stop the cavalry from the flanks of Fei Shan's 7th Army, in the Aristi River, we have filled in all the remaining 5,000 cavalry, although we finally got rid of Fei Shan in the river. Army, but the cavalry responsible for the break was strangled by Fei Shan’s soldiers"
Moses’s ugly face paused, "The loss of the last mobile force of our army has left more than 100,000 people in a difficult situation. It is impossible to get rid of Fei Shan’s army. There is only one left. The only fortunate thing about the war is that the incoming enemy is blocked by the terrain. Both sides are full of steep mountains like knives. It is difficult to put a thousand troops on the battlefield. Otherwise, just this kind of desperate pressure has been enough to cause me. The army collapsed"
"General Moses, your left sentence collapses, the right sentence collapses, are you threatening your majesty?" A guard officer walked in dissatisfiedly, with flax hair, a high forehead, and a pair of slender eyes. With a sharpness, or the coldness, it is more appropriate. Behind him, seven or eight guards came in one after another, invisibly arranged around
"Ula linen, what do you mean?"
Moses, who felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, untied his helmet and placed it on the dry ground. He glanced around and frowned slightly. He remembered that when he left, there should be more than a dozen in the cave. Although the cave is small for those who seriously wounded soldiers, most of the wounded Istan soldiers who have nowhere to avoid the rain and can only roll in the mud, this is heaven!
"Where are the wounded soldiers?" Moses asked in a deep voice
"I want someone to be quiet, their smell is too strong, I let them all out!" The crown prince looked embarrassed, took the towel from an incoming attendant and wiped his face, not thinking Said intentionally, "You know, the feeling of blood mixed with mud is disgusting! How can I fall asleep in that environment!"
"Disgusting? Your Majesty, they are fighting desperately for your Majesty!"
Moses veteran General Moses’s face changed, his hands trembled a little, there was heavy rain outside, there was no place to hide, so let the wounded soldiers just soak in the rain? This young majesty is too self-willed. Now the military spirit is low. Under the full view of everyone, the young majesty drove the severely wounded out of the rain for his own rest. How can this make the soldiers below sell their lives!
"General Moses, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You are speaking from the Supreme Emperor of the Istanian Empire!"
The guards said loudly, putting their hands on the hilt of the saber, and the crown prince came to the throne. They are all ministers of merit. Now all the guards have one thing in their minds, how to get the crown prince back When you go to Istanbul, the crown prince is the real emperor, and they can have real glory and wealth, instead of waiting in this muddy water, waiting to be first shown by Feishan people, as for the fate in this mud. Does the unknown more than 100,000 Istanbul soldiers have anything to do with them? No, with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing, how can such a big goal be able to escape? Why do you need to manage the life and death of these soldiers, as long as you take your own dozen of them!
"I am reckless! But I really can't accept it!"
The crown prince took a deep breath. The guard officer is his confidant. Moses is only one person. If you had to rely on Moses, an empire veteran, to crush the entire army, now, you don’t need to talk to this old guy. Virtual deterrence, he is the emperor of Istanbul, how could he die with these hundreds of thousands of desperate soldiers! "I just thought about your suggestion again. If you want to survive and return to your country, you should bow your head to kill your father and enemy. Such an emperor will not be convinced even if he does return!" the crown prince said slowly.
"But your Majesty, without the help of the Falcon Empire, we can't..." the veteran Moses said with a serious face
"It’s not us, but the ordinary soldiers. They need the mercy of the Falcon Empire. But they need me to sacrifice, Lord Moses, do you think it is appropriate? There is no way to go back, such as disguising and boarding a smuggling ship! "The crown prince's tone was cold, his eyes stopped for a moment on the veteran Moses' face, and he said slowly, "There is a man in my attendant who knows these smugglers, and Molua Port, fifty miles away, can board their ship. Now the Falcon Empire Navy Coming to the direction of Triland with all my strength, I can't take care of other movements. As long as I get on the boat, I will be safe!"
"Your Majesty, are you trying to abscond from the army?"
Moses' eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists. The body was trembling, and as a general who had experienced many battles, he was not afraid of death, even in the face of the staring gazes of a dozen guards officers. Holding the hand of the sword hilt, he also said this aloud
"It's not absconding, it's returning home. It's going back to my empire!" The crown prince was also angry at Moses' stubbornness, and said categorically, "I am the emperor of the Istan Empire, and here, I am just you. The puppet! If it wasn't for your loyalty, I could kill you just now!"
"Then you might as well kill me now!" Moses' heart was filled with coldness, a group of twenty years of recuperation, Thoradin’s heroic heroes, and hundreds of thousands of troops’ cross-sea expedition, Is it just the result? All 300,000 elite empires died here. If it is possible, even if it is only a front line, I have to do my best. In order to stabilize the shaken military spirit, I patrolled the front with an old body and exhausted more than 100,000. The remnants of Istanbul were divided into three lines of defense and placed,
Because of the lack of combat arrows, he ordered all the team's arrowheads to be concentrated in the hands of a ten thousand team of archers. The heavy infantry team was mercilessly pushed to the forefront, watching the muddy soldiers in the rain. We leaned together silently, letting the rain hit our bodies, our whole body was covered with muddy water, and only the weapons were cold and dazzling. In the white rain, looking at the figure of Fei Shan’s cavalry ahead, it was like a hungry wolf appearing at night. Piece by piece,
These Fei Shan cavalry are known for their rapid assaults. They only wear light leather armor, are equipped with impact spears and bucklers. In terms of frontal combat power, Fei Shan's cavalry can only be regarded as an auxiliary unit, but such light cavalry, in Cooperating with Feishan’s well-known square formation tactics, it will be an assault when the jī battle is stalemate, or quickly pour in from the gap after gaining the advantage. For the Istanbul army whose morale has fallen to a freezing point, it will be a battle. The huge catastrophe, the appearance of these swift and windy battlefield hungry wolves, has heralded that once they collapse, no one will be able to survive
"Your Majesty, we need to leave immediately, Feishan is coming soon!"
The atmosphere in the cave was about to agglomerate and exploded. A guard officer stumbled in from the entrance of the cave and whispered in the ear of the crown prince. The crown prince stood up like a rabbit with its tail on its feet. , He didn't expect Fei Shan people to come so fast! The other party has been chasing behind him for a few days, aren't these guys tired! Can’t you wait for the weather to get better?
How many people are there in ? "The crown prince took over a guards armor from an attendant and changed clothes in a hurry. There are soldiers outside. If you don’t change clothes, you will be found out as soon as you leave. He still needs to rely on These soldiers are going to hold the Feishan people!
"Uncountable! It should be Fei Shan's Seventh Army and the Eighth Army have joined together! "The officer swallowed with an ugly face
"What are you waiting for! Are you waiting for death here?" The crown prince hurriedly fastened the buttons of the cuffs, and snorted with dissatisfaction. Finally, he was very awkward and took the guard armor at the fastest speed. Put it on, no matter what kind of demeanor, I eagerly walked towards the entrance of the cave, and suddenly, a figure blocked the front
"Your Majesty, please consider..." Moses made his last efforts, his voice suddenly stopped, and a huge pain came from the back of his head, and a guard officer's sword scabbard hit hard. Behind his head, another guard officer drew a chilling dagger,
The sky was spinning before his eyes. Before he fell into a coma, Moses heard someone ask, "Your Majesty, do you need to kill this old guy who got in the way? If you let him tell others about it, it will be troublesome"
"Forget it, leave him to Feishan!" Footsteps went away,
On the front line of the Istanian army, the heavy infantry was leaning against the queue with a large shield, and they were incompletely squeezed into a ball. Each face was pale, and I saw a huge square in front of him, heavy. The clusters of horseshoes burst like a mountain, and one by one stops in the spreading shallow water, rolling up a burst of white spray,
Under the pale sky not long after the rain stopped, this black-red mass was cutting through the ground in front of it like a huge arc, and the Istan soldiers saw the tongue "My God, how much is this!"
No one noticed the escape of His Royal Highness. Surrounded by more than a dozen entourages, the young crown prince turned on the horse that had been prepared for a long time, turned his head and glanced at the inexhaustible man Ma Hongliu . Cloud-like lances are spreading along the back, and several queues are still running along the line of the terrain along the huge plain terrain in front. Such a military force almost covers the ground in front. Shocked everyone's minds, Feishan's red and black armor was like a continuous flame dancing. The cavalry that climbed slowly is even more numerous!
Almost in an instant, this rolling red current hit the first line of defense of the Istanbul army~IndoMTL.com~ With a large number of assault cavalry as the front end, followed by the impact knives, the morale is calculated by 10,000. The high Fei Shan army, the crowds are rolling like iron currents, like a flock of eagles in the sky pounced from the ground far away,
Numerous long spears collided together, and amidst the clattering sound, the fiercely advancing Feshan cavalry stabbing spear pierced the body covered by the heavy armor of the heavy infantry in the front row of the Istanian army, with blood dripping blood. "The sound of a sharp weapon piercing the body, the burst of countless arrow clusters falling in a dense burst of red blood mist tumbling in an instant
, the ups and downs of the two armies’ combat power will be shown at the moment of collision,
Fei Shan’s army is high in morale and courage. In front of each cluster is the forward spearhead of thousands of people. The Istanbul army is like ice and snow meeting Hao Yang. At the moment of impact, the entire defense line was hit and counteracted. To reverse the fight,
The spur spear slammed down quickly, broke, and stirred up the flesh and blood. The piercing gun pierced the flesh and blood of Istanbul’s retreat. Even if the arm was dislocated due to the counter-shock force, Feshan’s light cavalry used their shoulders to clamp the lancet fiercely. Force forward, and in the fastest way, directly impact the front of the Istanian army.
"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" someone urged in the ear of the crown prince
"Let's go!" The crown prince gritted his teeth and waved his hand vigorously. The 300,000 Istanbul army is over, but it does not mean that the era of the Istanbul is over! I will come back one day! Don't blame me, Moses. The crown prince is still your majesty. Only when you are alive, it makes a difference. You told me to choose!
