Power and Empire Chapter 3629: The Battle of Getayam (6)
In the dark night, the southern sky was completely rendered dark red, the loud fighting sounds gradually dimmed, the ground covered with corpses and the broken and scorched flags, war was a cruel competition, and the victor could draw his neck. Singing loudly, the losers can only leave the stage sadly, provided that they can save a life.
Compared to the Martin Liya cavalry colleagues who were intercepted in the river, the Martin Liya infantry group on the southern front is fortunate. The imperial army’s strength is the biggest shortcoming, even Varisian The total strength of the fifty thousand troops in the direction of Getaia and the fifty thousand Southwest Army of Salon was about one hundred thousand. But in front of them, a total of three hundred thousand Martin Liya people were scattered and fleeing, especially Mucheng was burned by Varisian in the dark, and Martin Liya's army was in complete chaos. The troops fleeing south were like rabbits in the mountains. Varisian wanted to intercept 300,000 Martin Liya people in Georgia. Although the Taiya mission failed to achieve, the large quantities of materials hoarded by the Martin Liya people in Mucheng were burned. The Martin Liya army rushed southward, and everyone thought that they could run faster than their own. When the sky gradually cleared, Martin Lifang, who ran all night, found out that there was no imperial cavalry behind him.
"Did the imperial cavalry catch up?"
" I don’t know, everyone just ran away, who cares about the back! "The tired Martin Liya slumped directly on the ground one by one. At this moment, someone shouted, "Look at everyone." They were all taken aback, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a fast-moving black cloud coming towards this side. It was a cavalry group moving at high speed.
"It's over, it's the Imperial Cavalry"
I don’t know who yelled from the crowd. The Martin Lifang suddenly exploded, and just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt cold. At this time, anyone still has cavalry and the cavalry was lost to the river by His Highness Spike. Well, even if the small-scale cavalry were retained, it was only a few hundred cavalry. The number of cavalry that ran from a distance was at least five or six thousand. I did not expect that the imperial cavalry would catch up after running all night. People’s hearts are sinking. On the flat land of the Holy Capital, the mass impact of cavalry is almost impossible to stop. This was originally the biggest advantage of Martin Liya people, but now it has become the biggest Martin Liya people. Disadvantage, if the main force of the cavalry is still there, no matter what, it will not be as completely powerless as it is now. Many Martin Liya think this in their minds.
" " is spelled out, but I can’t run anyway. "Someone shouted, raising the weapon in his hand
"I have been bitten, why are you running? Let's fight it, it's better than being exhausted." With all kinds of messy voices, the Martin Liya Army was originally a cavalry tactical group, deep Knowing that the essence of cavalry chasing the enemy is not trying to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, but constantly driving the enemy out, so that the enemy's energy is exhausted in the escape, so that even more troops will collapse, and now I see the imperial cavalry so coincidentally When he appeared, he naturally knew that he was being spotted by the Imperial Cavalry. Even if he continued to run, he would not be able to escape the fate of being completely killed. It would be better to fight to the death. Thinking of these, many crumbling Martin Lifangs stood up straight. Spontaneously moved closer to each other and raised the weapons in their hands, but soon someone found something was wrong
" Look, it’s not the Imperial Eagle Flag, it’s the flag of our Sam tribe. "Someone pointed their finger at the flag flying above the cavalry cluster
"Could it be that the Sam tribe rebelled and turned to the empire?"
Various speculations left Martin Liya people completely at a loss. The battle was reversed so fast that most Martin Liya people had not figured out the situation. In just a few hours, they had the advantage. The strategic position of the army is completely lost, and the original advantage of the cavalry is also gone. That is to say, the command of the Martin Liya army knows what happened. For most ordinary soldiers, the main cavalry force was defeated in the river. Without exception, the defeated troops who fled back were unclear about the battle of the river. Some said that the imperial army used a war ship to break the pontoon that crossed the river, cutting the main force of the army into two, and some said that the imperial heavy cavalry rushed straight into it. The army’s main formation caused the whole army to shake, and was finally defeated,
"It is indeed the main Sam army, but shouldn't the main Sam army and His Royal Highness Spike's main force be defeated by the empire in the river channel?"
A pale-faced Lord Martin Teeth looked at the Sam national flag flying above the cavalry group coming here, his face was uncertain, the Sam national army should be the main force of His Royal Highness Spike Together, the main force of His Royal Highness Spike was defeated, and the Sam's own army should not be spared. Then, what happened to this Sam's own army cavalry, which numbered nearly 10,000? Although there is still a distance of more than two hundred meters, it can still be felt from the orderly marching of the Sam cavalry. This Sam cavalry is obviously well-organized. Although there are signs of war, it is definitely not like the front. Those ruined troops who had been defeated in the river and fled back were so depressed.
The Sam's cavalry stopped at a position tens of meters in front, and then spread to both sides, and a person came out from inside. It was the Sam's commander Sigriin. The Sam's commander looked at him with a look on his face. It’s not good. Anyone who has been running around for more than ten hours without even drinking a sip of water is basically the same.
"Master Sigle, is Master Sigle" Martin Liya had a commotion, and many people recognized Sigle
Sieglin glanced over the full Martin Liya people with surprise. He had already learned about the fiasco of the River War from some of the defeated troops, and also anticipated the impact of the River War, but he did not expect that Martin Li The morale of the army will collapse so quickly, how many Martin Liya people are in front of you? Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, or more. . . . . He hesitated for a moment, and asked in a condensed voice, "Who is responsible here?"
" Sir Green, shouldn’t the Sam family’s army be accompanied by the main force of His Royal Highness Spike? If you say that you don’t know the situation, I can only suspect that the Sam family’s army is suspected of rebellion? "A Martin Liya The lord, his gaze swept across the cavalry behind Sigrilin, took a deep breath, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, the situation was too weird, and he had to take precautions. Before the raid on the holy capital, it was because of the Sam clan. , Let the Sam’s army be incorporated into the second echelon of the raid on the Holy Capital under the joint efforts of the two clans. It is only responsible for logistics and weapon repair. It can be said that the Sam’s status as the three major clans In other words, such an arrangement is absolutely contemptuous. Who can guarantee that the Sam tribe will not reach an agreement with the empire at a critical moment and sell the other two tribes!
" This is not difficult to explain, because my Samite army is not with the main force of His Royal Highness Spike at all. "Siglin raised his hand dignifiedly. In order to show that he did not lie, he walked out of the cavalry behind. Several defeated troops were rescued along the way, and these defeated troops have testified that "Sam's own army did not participate in the battle of the river"
It’s also fortunate to say that the Sam’s army was blocked by the Imperial army on the southern front. Although the 30,000 army suffered heavy losses, more than 14,000 people eventually broke through the imperial army’s blocking line. , And the main force of the Imperial Army is on the front line of the river, so I don’t care too much about the prominence of the Sam’s army,
The main force of Spike’s army turned around from the holy capital, and the same did not notify the Sam’s army. Instead, the Sam’s army escaped from the battle of the river. The Sam’s commander Sieglin took With more than 10,000 cavalry going south, just like Spike, they found that all the bridges were destroyed in the river channel. I wanted to look for bridges along the river channel, but accidentally encountered some of the fleeing troops. Only then did I find out about Spike. The main force of more than 100,000 was intercepted by the imperial army in the river channel, the army was defeated, and His Royal Highness Spike was captured. In shock, the commander of the Sam clan Sigreen led the cavalry for more than 30 miles upstream, confirming After it was completely safe, the troops were ordered to cut down trees and build pontoons
Siglin is not a famous general, but his combat experience is not bad, and he can become the leader of the Sam clan, and he still has some vision
He knows very well that the loss of control of the main force of the Martin Liya Cavalry basically means that there is no longer a barrier to the south of the imperial army to the north of Mucheng, and the Martin Liya army will have all the money in the battle of the holy capital. Lost, the army’s logistics has only lasted for three days. If the material problem cannot be solved, even if the imperial army does not attack, Martin Liya’s 300,000 army will consume himself to death, so he went straight to Mucheng, because only Mucheng can stock up. There are supplies
Who knows that before arriving in Mucheng, he saw the fire light in the direction of Getaiya, and even the sound of fighting faintly, Sieglin was confused, so he ordered the cavalry to bypass Getaiyamu, but it was The imperial cavalry slowly retreated after an unexpected encounter with Varisian’s three thousand cavalrymen, and Sieglin brought his subordinate cavalry to follow. Unexpectedly, Martin defeated the army and mistakenly believed that it was the imperial cavalry
"How's the situation in Mucheng?" The chief of the Sam clan, Sigelin, glanced over the hesitant Martin Liya, and his heart was shaking. It has only been a few days. This branch has been invincible for half a year. The elite division that shakes the entire continent has turned into such a unit that can’t distinguish between himself and the enemy? The sharp morning cold wind blows on his face, and Sigelin only feels pain in his body. It was terrible, his headache was cracking, his throat was as dry as a fire, and his hoarse voice was like a broken drum. For Mucheng, he still had a trace of luck, so many troops, so many. The materials will never be lost in a battle!
"The wood city is over, and it’s all burned. At this time, the Imperial army invaded from the front of the camp... The Tenth Army first started to run, and then everyone was running. We are only part of it, and there are other directions. There are more people running." A Martin Liya officer limped out, crying in a hysterical voice
"That said, we are completely defeated, and we were thrown in Mucheng along with our logistics, didn't we?" Siegelin asked with a frustrated snoring. There was silence all around, and the Martin Liya officer lowered his head and did not dare. Looking at each other, everything is showing an answer. Sigreen guessed it right. The more than 200,000 Martin Teeth army not only lost Mucheng. And also throw away the army’s belongings cleanly
"You guys!" The whip in Siegelin's hand was raised, and the eyes that had been boiled for more than ten hours were red and scared. They were all bloodshots gathering. His figure on the war horse shook. Reality It was much worse than he expected. With so many troops, even Mucheng couldn't hold it. This was not only a fiasco, but also a fatal blow to the evacuation of the entire Martin Liya army. There was no logistics material. Without enough food, how can the army travel more than a thousand miles?
"Your Majesty, Lord Varisian just returned the news that his chasing cavalry encountered a cavalry group of more than ten thousand people from Martin Liya, and his subordinates suspected that it was the Martin who broke out from the southern front. Liya cavalry, do I need to remind Master Varisian that this Martin Liya cavalry is probably a direct cavalry of the Sam tribe of Martin Liya?"
Salton came upright behind the emperor who was reviewing a document~IndoMTL.com~ His face respectfully reported that the emperor had captured Spike, and there were several Lords Martin Liya, for the breakthrough. The identity of the cavalry is also roughly understood. Who would have thought that Spike would place an elite cavalry in the logistics unit, which unexpectedly saved this unit from the catastrophe
"It’s just an accident. It can’t shake the overall situation. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if Varisian suffers a little loss, otherwise Varision will really eat all the remaining 300,000 Martin Forces, but instead Make the next thing impossible." The emperor shook his hand indifferently, raised his head and said, "As for the promise requested by the Templars, you can reply to Husa. The empire can give them this promise, but in exchange, the empire The Templars are required to withdraw from the northern area of the Holy Capital, otherwise they will not be discussed."
"Yes, my subordinate understands"
Salton's face was slightly wrong, and the emperor actually agreed to the absurd request of the Templars. This made Salton feel incredible. It was not like the emperor's style at all. When did the emperor tolerate blackmail, but His gaze swept across the corners of the emperor’s slightly upturned mouth, and his heart swelled. The first feeling was that the emperor had already anticipated it, otherwise, how could he deliberately let the Temple Army deliberately, if only let the Temple Army reveal what it was. Because of his appearance, Pope Putamia had to get closer to the empire. The emperor had other methods, and there was no need for Saron to stimulate the Templars so much at the most critical moment of this war. Completely lost forbearance, the only possibility for such a scene to be staged
The emperor is actually pushing for this. This is too impossible. Neither the Templar nor himself realized it, but this is the only possibility that can explain the past!
