Power and Empire Chapter 2519: Falcon falling (30)
On the morning of the 26th, Hu Keqili’s main imperial cavalry broke through the Sancha River ferry outside Merkgar, and drove more than 3,000 Aden soldiers into the jī flowing river, and then used some carriages to push it in. At the stone bridge, 20,000 imperial cavalry crossed the river by taking advantage of the blocked water flow.
The winter season is the season when the river runs dry. Under the obstacle of the carriage in front, the river only has the stomach of the horse. Twenty thousand imperial cavalry calmly crossed the mouth of the Sancha River. The undefended Merkgar has been opened in front of the imperial cavalry The imperial assault cavalry team, with five hundred cavalry units as the unit, and progressively extending forward with levels, constantly feeds back the previous situation. The good situation makes Hu Keqili very surprised." Just like I was preparing to smash the barrier in front of me with a violent blow, but found that what I saw was not a barrier at all, but a piece of bó paper that broke when touched.
A large number of convoys carrying supplies were stranded in the entire periphery of Merkgar. The imperial cavalry marched forward. Hundreds of imperial cavalry appeared, surging forward, like a hurricane, and had not rushed to the position. The coalition forces had already collapsed. The imperial odd forces slashed their necks with their swords, pierced the bodies of coalition soldiers with their fierce spears, and held the imperial cavalry assault crossbows and fired them in a rapid rush. Limbs and bodies, **** flowers blooming in the air, war horses like thunder, knocking the disintegrated soldiers on horses, knives and guns, the ruthless pursuit is like a violent wind, killing the coalition soldiers. These are logistic units with no combat power, even if they see mountain bandits and bandits, they may not dare to fight, let alone encounter such a ferocious imperial assault cavalry, which swept past like a storm, leaving only one place in the pass. The corpse of the imperial cavalry did not stop, and rushed towards another group of fleeing coalition soldiers like a whirlwind, followed by screams, screams and wailing of dying.
"Escape!" The coalition soldiers were torn apart by the impact." Panicked like a group of mice, they burrowed through the grass into the woods in embarrassment, only to escape the death whirlwind behind them. The imperial cavalry didn't even look at the materials on the road. At a glance, their goal was to defeat the defenders next to the convoy of supplies, and they continued from the carriage. The two light infantry flag regiments of the imperial infantry that occupied Olua were coming here. The people behind are responsible. The task of the Imperial Cavalry is mainly to drive the **** infantry of the convoy of supplies, break up the forces of the coalition forces, sweep all the scattered targets found, and capture the main coalition forces in the Merkgar area.
The imperial assault cavalry approached Merkgar along the main route, the wilderness and fog obscured the vision,
Hu Keqili stopped the horse, his eyes shone brightly and looked forward. The 20,000 imperial cavalry opened in a line. In front of his horse, rows of imperial black guard cavalry roared along the gentle hilly slope. Long swept down, the horses all put down their visors, the cavalry lances were leveled, and the lances of the entire row shone cold and sharp in the sun, and flooded the cavalry array. In any dynasty, at any time, as long as the man is still a man. As long as humans have indeed evolved from animals and there are animalistic factors in their blood, seeing this scene will make everyone excited and unable to control themselves! The sound of horse hooves in silence has concealed all the sounds between heaven and earth, rows of cold black armor, the earth trembling under the footsteps of horses
In front of the imperial cavalry, the coalition forces have been completely scattered, some panicked to take their weapons, some scrambled awkwardly, and many more just turned around and ran away,
Hu Keqili originally thought that although the coalition had a hollow in the middle, there were still tens of thousands of troops in the Merkgar area. Even if the combat strength was poor, it would not be loose enough to allow the imperial cavalry commander to drive straight in. However, the current situation is smoother than Hu Keqili’s original idea. The imperial cavalry is like no man’s land, breaking up one transport team after another, encountering strong resistance only a handful of times, and they are all in scale. Not too big. After interrogating a captured coalition general, Hu Keqili knew how much he had picked up. The commander of the coalition in Merkgar actually asked for supplies to be ahead of the army, and the army was not allowed to grab the supplies. Road,
Now Hu Keqili knows how to come all the way, there are not many soldiers fighting, but the carriage filled with supplies is blocked, and the road is not painful. There are some narrow intersections, and the Imperial cavalry is directly The material carriage was overturned to the side of the road before it could pass. There was no block or the main force of the coalition forces. The 20,000 imperial cavalry approached all the way to 30 miles below Merkgar, and finally encountered a coalition force of about 3,000 people. The army, after a battle, killed more than two thousand people, and the rest of the defeated troops fled in the direction of Merkgar. At this time, Merkgar’s coalition base camp also received news that the imperial cavalry was approaching. So fast, the coalition base camp has become a mess
"In any case, the imperial army must be immediately blocked from approaching. If it can be delayed for ten days, the main coalition forces can return to the army. At that time, I will ask you all for help from the base camp." Gathering all the generals, there was not the slightest uglyness at the meeting. Instead, he said with a trace of confidence, "Now, it’s time to reveal to you all. I know how unsatisfactory it is to let the materials go first, but there is no way. According to the method in China, Merkgar has too many supplies, even if we try our best, we can’t transport it in a short time. Therefore, I never thought of transporting all Merkgar’s supplies, as long as we can Part of successful luck is victory"
"What!"
"Master Cortes, what do you mean?" The coalition generals who had a face of ashes, at this time all looked at Cortes in surprise,
"Master Cortes, do you mean that you deliberately blocked us all here?" A general of the Kingdom of Ikar stood up angrily, pressed his hands heavily on the table, gritted his teeth Said
"Master Cortes, do you know what you are doing? Tens of thousands of troops are now facing a life or death decision because of your decision, and you are just for the supplies that can’t be taken away. Let everyone stay here. Are you waiting to die?"
"Master Cortes, although I have always admired you, but I did not expect you to do such a thing!" Another general of Fazer, his face flushed, his hands clasped tightly. Fist, everyone thought it was Cortez’s lack of experience that caused the current dilemma. Unexpectedly, it was not Cortez’s lack of experience, but it was deliberate. Thinking of this, how could the sitting general bear it? With this breath, I only thought of Kotés’ double physique, so I didn’t rush to beat this guy violently
"Let you all stay, I'm sorry!"
To everyone’s expectation, the dogmatic Kortes got up from his seat, apologized respectfully to all the generals, and said, “Anyway, it’s my mistake to keep tens of thousands of troops trapped in a city. I will do my best to take all the responsibilities!"
"What's the situation?"
Kotez’s sincere attitude made all the generals dumb. Look at me, I look at you. No one would have thought that Kotez, who has always been strong, would say so. If he had such an attitude a few days earlier, everything would be It won't be like this. What's the use of talking about these now? Nonsense. The Imperial Army has already been killed. Everyone wants to leave. In such a situation, you Cortes will be fully responsible! The question is, can you afford the entire responsibility? The loss of Merk'gar also led to the death of tens of thousands of coalition troops, even if you can peel and tear your Cortes! Apart from anger, the generals’ hearts are now cold. From the beginning, Kotés never thought of letting everyone escape this catastrophe. Tens of thousands of troops, which sounds good to say, are actually 10,000 people capable of fighting. No? And it is said that the imperial cavalry that approached Merk'gar was 20,000 to 30,000, and the imperial army from Osenglua was also tens of thousands. That is the real elite Falcon Empire troops. They captured Merk'gar and brought everyone down. Killing them all is not the same as playing
"Let a lot of materials jam on the road, originally to attract the attention of the imperial army." Kotace's voice paused, and there was a sense of relief in his tone. A secret was held in his heart for too long. He also needs to keep his face straight and endure the insults of everyone every day. What he asks is the moment when the secret is revealed. He took a deep breath and glanced across the faces of all the generals. It turned out to be calm and indifferent. He smiled and said, "Although it is not perfect, at least the strategy has shown effectiveness. The Imperial Army was really attracted by these materials along the road, but did not realize that the materials that were transported to the North had left Merkgar. The scope, is marching safely towards the coalition base camp, that is enough for the 300,000 troops of the coalition base camp to eat food for half a month. Almost all the horses are dispatched. As long as we can reach the coalition base camp on time, our greatest victory will be , I believe that with this food, the coalition base camp will return immediately. At that time, you will be the biggest contributor to keeping Merkgar in the crisis!"
"It sounds good, the question is, what do we use to stop the imperial army!"
fell silent for a while, someone in the general said, the other generals were silent, it seems that Kotés’ words came into play. Since the southern coalition started the war with the empire, apart from taking advantage of the empire at the beginning, it was defeated. The invasion of the eastern provinces of the empire and the subsequent series of battles all ended in disastrous defeat. If they can achieve a reversal victory in this disparity in strength of the guard zhan, even the monarchs of various countries will look at them more. , But what the general said was right. The imperial army is about to hit Merk'gar soon, so what shall we use to stop it!
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Kortes looked calm and sneered. "Merk'gar is the core of central Istanbul. Although it has experienced several wars and damages, it has been repaired on a large scale in the hands of the Istanbul. Now the garrison facilities are complete and the supplies are complete. Sufficient. Although the Imperial Army is good at fighting, it can't use cavalry to attack the city wall! And the opponent is running from a distance, and now it is a time when people are tired, and it is the last limit to be able to reach Merkgar, let alone attack Merkgar immediately!"
" Yeah, what about the imperial cavalry, can it still jump on the wall!" Hearing Cortés's words, the generals finally looked better and felt a lot of pressure. Since they can't go away anymore. , Then stick to Merkgal, anyway, according to the completeness of the materials in the city, it is not a problem to keep for a month or two, let alone only ten days, the confidence of the generals is back again, at this time, there is no one. It is said that Cortez should be held accountable. It is such a great opportunity to obtain a record that others want it. Although Cortez is a bit more arbitrary, at least in this respect it is still for everyone to consider.
" Since everyone has no comments, please go back and prepare immediately! "Kortez looked at the sky outside the window with confidence, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
As the deputy commander of the Knights Templar of the Order Country, he is from a civilian background. Although he has a good reputation, there is no record that can be achieved. He is always unable to convince the knights. Behind the scenes I don’t know how many people have ridiculed it, but this time, it is simply a feat that has fallen from the sky. As long as this battle is successful, his reputation will not only shock the South, make up for the lack of military combat background, but also Taking this opportunity to compete for the commander of the Knights next year is unknown. Everyone can tell~IndoMTL.com~ Because of the death of the Great Knight Commander, the Pope is very dissatisfied with the current Knight Commander. The performance of the Knights Templar in this war was mediocre. It has been destined that the knight leader will definitely change next year. As one of the three deputy commanders, he is not qualified to compete because he has no military merits. Now that the opportunity is here, how can I easily let it go! He said that he was sitting in the trapped city with tens of thousands of troops for his own sake, but he was not wrong at all.
Outside the city of Merkgar, Hu Keqili stood on the mound, and he was able to see Merk’gar a dozen miles away. He didn’t know that some of the coalition’s supplies had actually moved north, and this was not what he was responsible for. Place
The emperor has only one order, to seize supplies and cut off the connection between Merk'gar and the coalition base camp. The supplies are intercepted. So now it is to cut off the connection between Merk'gar and the coalition base camp. As for the final attack, it is the infantry regiment. Thing
Looking at Merk'gar in front of him, Hukocchi knew why the Emperor chose Salton’s Second Southern Army as the first wave of landing.
Obviously, the emperor did not know where to learn about the Merkgar city in front of him in detail. The sturdy wall showed a lot of traces of refurbishment. It seems that it has been repaired on a large scale in recent years, even if it is Thor , I’m afraid it’s hard to make a gap in these solid big rocks. If you want to lay down Merk'gar in one breath, the best choice is naturally the Hurricane Tomahawk soldiers in the Nord’s Second Army under Salton’s command.
