Power and Empire Chapter 3368: The dead line of escape (18)

When the northern part of the mainland begins to enter the spring, southern Obaro is already shining brightly. For the Kalisu region, where three-quarters of the kingdom’s territory is densely forested, the tall trees are bathed in bright sunshine and enjoy the whole year. The most beautiful season in the country, because of the good ecological maintenance, the land in the Kalisu area is very fertile. The waterways between the woodlands also bring abundant water resources, and a large number of green plants have also begun to emerge after the rain. , At a glance, it seems that green silk satin is gently undulating in the breeze. The green that can't be seen at a glance makes everyone in it have a feeling of wanting to shout, but at this time, in this beautiful piece of In the land, a battle of life and death is underway

The news that King Karisu was defeated by the imperial army finally leaked out on the third day. The first action was the Karisu army in the direction of the Karoo Woodland Fortress. This group gathered the elite of Karisu Kingdom. In the army, most of the middle-level officers were the children of the royal family of Karrisu. After learning that the capital had been captured by the imperial army, young and angry officers came to the veteran Elliott to fight with tears.

"The king's capital has fallen, and the life and death of your majesty is unknown, and the adults are watching so coldly, don't you feel blushing!"

"Kill back to the king's capital, save Karisu, save your majesty! Faced with the red-eyed officers, even though veteran Elliott thinks that turning to the king's capital at this moment is equivalent to selling his back to the empire, At this moment, who dares to say that?

"It's okay to return to the king, but we can't just go like this, and no one knows how many imperial troops are in the world, whether all of them have captured the capital, or just one!" Eliot glanced over seriously. In the faces of the officers, Eliot, who has experienced the wind and waves, knows very well that anyone who dares to stop the officers from returning to the royal capital will be immediately labeled as a traitor, and then these officers will drag the army back because it is the royal capital. It is their family, and as for the previous blocker, it is natural to kill without mercy! But giving up the way to Kalulindi fortress is equivalent to completely opening the door of the Karisu Kingdom, and the imperial army can go south unimpeded!

"As long as the adults agree to go back, everyone else can say." The young officers were stunned. They thought that Eliot, who was known for his stubbornness, would refuse to go back to the capital. Even the officers had discussed it. If Eliot didn't After agreeing that the army should turn to the royal capital, he simply knocked out the old-fashioned stun, then tied it to the war horse and brought it back.

"Well, in order to prevent encountering the imperial army on the way to the king's capital, I will arrange the troops in a double-headed snake formation..."

"Two-headed snake?"

"It is to place the main combatants before and after the marching line, so that even if it is suddenly attacked, our army can calmly deal with it." Eliot is indeed an experienced veteran. His method is completely When he saw the imperial army respond to a surprise attack, he glanced over the confused young officers and made gestures with his hands, "Assume that our marching line is a huge snake. This giant snake has a long body on it." There is a head at each end of the snake. If someone wants to knock down the snake and attack the head at one end, then the head at the other end will bite the enemy in turn. If the central body part is attacked, the snake heads at both ends will be at the same time Bite the enemy"

"This looks good at times, but who will be the head and tail!" After listening to Eliot's explanation, the officers’ faces appeared weird. There is no doubt that the one who can top the head and the tail must be the most Elite troops, that is to say, once they encounter a battle, the two troops are most likely to suffer losses. Another meaning of blocking an enemy's surprise attack often means a lot of sacrifices and means using human flesh and blood to delay time. Come to buy time for the army to adjust and respond. This time the king capital has fallen. Although the royal officers have been demanding to return to the army, they actually hope that they can stand out in this battle and truly enter the ranks of the kingdom's army. People are willing to answer Elliott’s questions

"The fifth regiment is known as the top elite of Karisu, I think the fifth regiment will be the head and tail task."

"No, no, the eighth regiment is the flower of the well-armed army"

"The Ninth Regiment, the Ninth Regiment had the least losses in previous battles with the imperial army, almost no losses"

A series of voices one after another, the officers of the royal family said that others are better than themselves, and the officers of the royal family of Karrisu, who just vowed to regain the royal capital, have all become humble and conscientious examples at this moment. I recognize that Laozi is the number one in the world. At this moment, everyone is not stingy with any praise that can be said to his colleagues. No one is a fool. To be the head and tail means sacrifice, which means to get out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity ahead of time. To be out early, to save the fallen capital city, and to turn the country’s fortunes down. What a feat, whoever can win it will establish his position as the head of the army of the Kingdom of Karisu in the future. It needs to survive the least before. It takes ten or twenty years to reach a high level. At this time, I am afraid that I will not even want a year. How can such an opportunity be missed!

"The kingdom is in distress, but these royal officers are such a scene, what does your Majesty think..."

Seeing this scene, the veteran Elliott’s gray hair trembled slightly, but his heart was cold. In fact, it’s not because the young officers of the royal family were too utilitarian, but because over the past few years, the Karisu royal family has cultivated A group of kingdom officers who are absolutely loyal to the royal family constantly instilled the idea of ​​the rise of the kingdom and cultivated their ambition and impact. Over the years, it has indeed cultivated a group of young officers who are determined to Zhang Yang, but such a group has not passed through. The ambitions and arrogance of the officers who have been quenched by iron and blood are far higher than their own capabilities. Originally, the Karrisu Kingdom wanted to use this northern advance to complete the final quenching. The Karrisu royal family has even The acquiescence of one-half of the battle damage of the officer group is done, and the ones that are finally saved can be qualified to become the backbone of the future of the Karisu Kingdom. If it is really completed, it may not be impossible to forge an elite officer.

Unfortunately, the northward advance and the empire's southward encounter happened unexpectedly. The last process of these high-minded young royal officers, and only the most important process was interrupted. These young officers with passion and energy, At this moment, it was more like a long sword that was too sharp and thin. Under external force, whether it penetrated the target or broke halfway, no one knew!

"Suan Lilong, the third regiment of the Border Guard, you are responsible for the first battle, which is the head of the snake. Your three thousand heavy infantry soldiers should be able to hold the opponent even if they are attacked by the enemy!" Ai Little commanded in a deep voice. Hearing his order, a tall middle-aged man stood up from the border guard general. He saluted Eliot with a serious face and said, "The subordinates will not live up to the expectations of adults."

"The second line, which is the position of the snake's tail, is personally responsible for me." Elliott nodded at the middle-aged man.

"My lord, this is too dangerous, how can you personally suppress it?" The generals of the border guard said, "It's too dangerous. What if the Imperial Army really comes from behind? Ask your adults to supervise the battle in the middle. "

"This kind of battle formation has no so-called middle, there are only two heads. If it is really encountered, either the enemy will be defeated or we will be defeated, there will be no other choice!" Elliott waved his hand solemnly. , Said sharply, the generals fell silent

"What? It's because I'm old, I don't have the courage to fight again, I want to avoid the battle, but I say so high-sounding, the imperial army is clearly in the direction of the royal capital, how can it come from behind!" The crowd of royal officers Inside, someone laughed contemptuously

"Whoever has suggestions for such an arrangement can be directly put forward, and whoever is willing to come out to take up this responsibility, I am very happy to let it!" Eliot's face was pale, and his eyes swept away coldly, even if he had already dealt with the royal officers. Being comity, even having given up on the control of royal officers, he is also angry at this moment. A military veteran who has been stationed in the frontier all year round looks like an old wolf in the wilderness, and it is not a royal officer who has not experienced a truly tragic fight. Yes, there was some small commotion inside the royal officers. The royal officers who were caught by Eliot’s eyes bowed their heads, as if the wind was blowing through the wheat field

"The Karrisu soldier, who has always been known for his toughness, has become like this!" A sadness arose in Eliot's heart. It has only been a few years, and the kingdom of Martin Teeth didn't dare The easily provoked Karrisu military is known as the Red Scorpion in the dense forest. Although weak, but tenacious, it is like a red scorpion in the dense forest in front of him, so that any enemy of Karrisu will not dare to have the slightest contempt for the card. In this way, Lisu soldiers, under the monopoly of the Karrisu royal family, have completely lost the stubbornness and unyielding that a soldier should have in just a few years. A group of superior royal children think about what every day. To get more power

My head is filled with the idea that Kalisu will rise and Kalisu will become the overlord of the southern side. They all think that they are the golden generation that came into being with the times. Who would truly regard themselves as a need? Bleeding soldier! Because even if it is a general, it is in the eyes of the king's children in the past tense, because all officers will eventually be replaced by the royal children, with this idea, who will truly respect a kingdom soldier!

As an old man who has experienced decades of wind and rain fluctuations in South Europe and Pakistan, Eliot knows that the word rise has never been related to greatness and magnificence. The rise of any nation is not as simple as a single sentence, it is a sea of ​​blood. War is a challenge to a powerful enemy who has already occupied a larger space in the trap, and it is an incomparably tragic expansion of living space! In every depiction of the seemingly beautiful Kingdom Edition picture scroll, every stroke is human blood and sacrifice! How could these young royal officers know this!

After a few minutes of silence, Eliot seemed to be a bit older at once, waved at the crowd, announcing a temporary adjournment, and walked out under the attention of the saluting border guards

In the afternoon, the door of the Karoo Woodland Fortress opened heavily, countless spears towering high, and the battle armor was like a sea. The Karrisu border guards were the first to fire, followed by teams one after another, platooning with double-headed snakes. Drive in towards the Kalisu King’s Capital. At a distance of fifty miles from the Kalisu King’s Capital, a burst of muffled thunder rolling sounded from the front, and a black line appeared in the woodland mound in front, under the eyes of the Kalisu Army. It is a group of black-armored cavalry light cavalry. These light cavalry stand on high ground, coldly looking at the Kali Soviet army in the distance, and directly face the tens of thousands of Kali Soviet army. This team has only more than a hundred empires. The courage of the light cavalry made all the Kalisu people who saw this scene panic, and the marching team was actually in a slight commotion

"Don't mess, just the empire's scout cavalry!"

After a brief loss of consciousness, Su An Lilong, who was in charge of the snakehead in front, yelled loudly, because all year round are infantry fighting, and the Kali Su army has hardly left the Kali Su woodland area. At this moment, he did not notice. , Ahead is the road from Karoo Forest to the Royal Capital. The only relatively flat area is the edge extending from Karoo Forest. There was once a mountain fire here. Although it was finally extinguished by the rain, it also caused it. More than a dozen miles of woodland are missing, and there are only large areas of low shrubs. Having lost the advantage of woodland, the disadvantages of the Kali Soviet Army, who are lightly armed, are exposed.

"What do these empires want to do!"

"It's so arrogant, do you dare to provoke us even with such a small amount of people!"

"Asshole, come down and fight if you have the guts!" The Kalisa royal officers scolded.

"It turned out that the heavy infantry was placed in front. The other party seems to have made preparations too!" Bai Dan, commander of the Eighth Banner of the Second Army of the South of the Empire, glanced over the cursing Kali Su Army below~IndoMTL. com~ Although I don’t understand what these Karrisu people are talking about, it’s definitely not a good thing. He raised his hand to the men behind him, "Okay, give them the meeting gift"

"Yes, my lord"

The imperial squadron leader who was born as a thorn-tile longbow took a bulging object from his horse and hung it on an arrow cluster. The two-meter-long thorn-tile longbow in his hand slammed away with The bowstring vibrated, and the bundle of arrows traversed a graceful arc, and shot downwards from a high place, and then landed about 30 meters in front of the Kali Soviet Army, and saw the imperial cavalry facing this side. When an arrow was shot, Karisu’s officers were shocked, but when they saw that the arrow fell so far after the arrow fell, they suddenly made a mocking boo, haha, it’s so ridiculous, what? This Is it the famous marksman of the empire!

"Go and fetch the things above." Su An Lilong's face was still serious. He said to the adjutant behind him. He didn't believe the imperial cavalry appeared here at such a risk, just to show off his might, his eyes Unconsciously landed on that package, I was also stunned by the super long distance of the arrow. With a package, I could shoot out 150 meters. If I didn’t have a package, I might have shot here. It is said that the Empire crossbow is unparalleled in the world, and the power of this bow and arrow is even more terrifying than the crossbow. If the empire is all such powerful archers, how can this battle be fought!
