Power and Empire Chapter 3834: The death knell of Aden (8)
The number of imperial black armored cavalry is not that large, only about 5,000 people. This time, the main delivery here is a variety of war preparations and one hundred and fifty Thor, a burly middle-aged general. Coming down from the war horse, Hu Keqili, who was bending over and waiting, said respectfully, "Master Hu Keqili, Shu Ge, commander of the Third Banner of the Imperial Guards, report to you"
"Brother Shu, your Majesty asked you to come this time. In addition to transporting supplies, there is another task. Did you know? Hu Keqili took his eyes away from the opponent and raised his hand with a grim expression. More than a dozen guards immediately dispersed to the surroundings
"Your Majesty ordered me to drive into the core area of the Gulf of Aden." Shu Ge hesitated for a moment, and replied while standing attentively
"As long as you know it, I won't repeat it." Hu Keqili nodded and said in a condensed voice." The number of five thousand imperial cavalry is a bit less, but now most of the troops that can be transferred in Aden are in Here, as long as you don’t attack the capital of Aden, the Aden side has nothing to do with you for the time being. As long as you can hold on for fifteen days, you will be the biggest hero in this battle."
"My lord, there is a very confusing place for my subordinates. Since your Majesty has placed the attack area in the core area of the Gulf of Aden, why not directly attack the King Capital of Aden? Isn't it..." Brother Shu hesitated. With a look of hesitation, the emperor asked him to enter the core area of the Gulf of Aden with the high mobility of cavalry, which really shakes the stability of the people of Aden, but he strictly prohibits him from stepping into the 100 miles around the king of Aden. Shu Ge feels very much. Confused, but I dare not ask the emperor. The Minister of Military Affairs Hu Keqili himself was the commander of the guards. He was the superior of Shu Ge and the first person in the military affairs of the empire, or knew the emperor’s intentions.
But Hu Keqili just grunted with a grim face and said, "Your Majesty’s strategic intent is not what you and I can guess. We only need to be responsible for the implementation. According to the truth, I should let you fix it. I set off again in a day or two, but the situation is already quite urgent.” Hu Keqili looked at the fire-filled Aden barracks in the distance, and said, “Our imperial army’s invasion of the southern part of the Kingdom of Aden is itself a gamble. , You, as the most important chess piece that your majesty has pressed in, can you break through the defense line of the Aden army and rush into the Gulf of Aden before the people of Aden discover it. This will become a vital link related to the entire battle."
Hu Keqili's voice paused, and then he continued, "So I can only give you half a night of repairing time. The total number of troops in my hand plus your cavalry is no more than 40,000, and We have to be responsible for the task of dragging the largest heavy army in Aden, and what I can do is to use the city of Bersad to make the illusion of a battle with the other side and drag you for ten days. After ten days , The people of Aden will find that our army is just bluffing in Bersad, and at that time, they will be encircled and suppressed."
"It’s a great honor to be able to stir up the entire battle in Aden with the power of an army. It’s enough for our army to fix up for half a night." Brother Shu smiled and said that there is no need to make up at all. When Luo Dahe Road arrived here and landed, he had been idle on the boat for seven days. I really felt that the bones were about to be scattered.
It seems that Your Majesty should have already made arrangements!
Hu Keqili took a deep breath. Shu Ge’s words explained that the biggest shortcoming of the empire in this battle is to stay away from the empire’s homeland. Although the fog in the southern sea area of Eero has disappeared, the empire must increase its strength. To transport to the Gulf of Aden area, one must traverse the large rivers of the entire Eero area. Ship transportation is still the main mode of transportation. As for the navy, as the main force of logistic transportation, most of the transportation ships leave behind the main navy force, and the rest of the navy The transport ship can transport the 3rd Guards Regiment and these materials over, just back and forth, it takes a full 14 days
"Then it will be in the middle of the night. The Aden army on the opposite side would never have imagined in their dreams that the 3,000-member Persad would take the initiative to attack them at night." Hu Keqili's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth cocked slightly. Tonight, the empire’s offensive really began, and the emperor’s layout of Aden finally began to stab at it.
On the southern route, using his own investment of more than 20,000 people as a decoy, the Adenites’ garrison forces, which are not many in the country, are gradually exhausted. In the Oasis, Khayala is also constraining the current domestic Aden. The last regular army group, the Great Oasis Legion, is now the Kingdom of Aden. Although it is huge, it is attacked on both sides. It is like a giant but both hands are firmly fixed. The emperor’s first strategic goal has been achieved. Aden’s domestic forces are emptied to the extreme. The core area of the Gulf of Aden is now the first empty shell exposed to the imperial front. As long as an elite force rushes in at this moment, it will be enough to upset the world
At this moment, the emperor released the third guard of the wolf army, the intention is very obvious
As the Minister of Imperial Affairs, Hu Keqili is not unfamiliar with this third flag of the Guards, known as the Wolf Army. This is a significant force in the Imperial Guards Corps. It is a pure The main soldiers of the Imperial Archers Banner Group are from Dongting. Commander Shu Ge, before serving as the commander of the Third Banner of the Guards, was the most trusted confidant of the former Dongting General Wu Mu. Known as the corpse wolf, the fighting style is fierce and cunning,
After Wu Mu was appointed as the governor of the region by the emperor, he was also responsible for the various ministries of the East Court. With the defeat of Rui Tang Tingna in the Battle of Onacu, the strength of the various ministries of the East Court was greatly damaged. In order to find a way out for the people of the East Court, Wumu personally recommended Shu to enter the Imperial Guards to the emperor, expressing the absolute surrender of the various ministries of the Eastern Court. The emperor agreed with Shu to enter the Imperial Guards, while Wumu personally selected the elites from the various tribes of the Eastern Court. There were 25,000 children, and the emperor organized them into the Third Banner of the Guards. On the one hand, it embodies the emperor’s grace to the various ministries of the East Court, and it can be regarded as a formal promotion ladder for the various ministries of the East Court
On the other hand, Hona made a mistake in the first battle. The Eastern Chamber was killed and wounded over 40,000 people. He was completely disabled. After ten years of cultivation and childbirth, it is difficult to return to the original state of prosperity, the emperor. Strike while the iron is hot, it can be regarded as a complete integration of the Dongting army into the regular army of the empire. There is no need to live on the emperor’s bounty as before. The various ministries of the Dongting are also very clear that as Princess Rui Tangtinga completely abandoned the affairs of the East, with the general Wumu became the governor of the empire. As the military power of the various tribes was greatly reduced, as young people from the tribe joined the imperial army to find a way out. This also means that the East Court is no longer the imperial country of China, and the East Court has survived since then. 1
In the middle of the night, the sky full of stars shines, wearing armor, Shu Ge salutes Hu Keqili and then stepped on the horse,
"Quack!"
Pushad's city gate opened slowly with a rubbing sound under the push of six soldiers.
Wow." The violent wind blew in from the gap of the opened city gate, and it smashed against the cavalry clusters standing behind the gate. The 5,000 cavalrymen of the Third Banner of the Imperial Guard stood still, and the horses and men stood side by side. Not to the end. But the cavalry group with a savage feeling all over it is like a group of bloodthirsty beasts about to step into its hunting ground. Before the sun rises, the plains outside the city gate are filled with white mist, and immediately In the forefront, Ge Shu was the first to ride through the opened city gate. The black cavalry at the back slowly moved forward like a wave, stomping on the dirt ground with horseshoes, and the temperature was already very low in the early morning of the end of September. , The war horse’s nose continued to spray white smoke and dust, and the black armored cavalry that opened the gate began to form a group in the dark, spread out, forming an attack formation. The front of the melee cavalry was the melee cavalry. The left hand of these melee cavalry had a semicircle embedded in the armor. Shaped tower shield with a low-hanging lancet in his right hand,
Brother Shu was riding on a war horse, wearing a wolf-head armor, and his sturdy aura made him look like a wolf with fangs. He pulled out the imperial sword from his waist and held it under the sight of the five thousand cavalrymen in the East Court. Rise, then fall suddenly,
The horseshoes turned into muffled thunder, and the ground trembled violently. With superb horse control skills, the horses under the hips were clamped without much hesitation. The guards of the Third Banner of the Five Thousand Cavalry The queue, like a huge sharp triangle, is advancing neatly at the same time, with smooth and orderly horse heads. A falcon is standing behind the armor of the captain at the left end of each cavalry team.
In the dark night, the flying horseshoes float up and down with the undulating arc of the earth like an avalanche,
The spear of cold light burst 100 meters away from the Yading camp,
Swipe! The archers in the back row neatly raised the powerful recurve bows in their hands. The wind blew violently, and the wind pushed by the leaping horseshoes rolled up the fog on the ground ahead, like a pair of invisible hands pushing the fog. ,
The Aden side did not expect that Bersad would take the initiative to attack. According to the cavalry formation of the grassland custom, a team of one hundred people, a full fifty leaning on the flag, as the horses rushed in the gale. Like a intensive battle drum sounded in the ears, agitating the blood in the body, the hoofs burst like a mountain and the ground cracked, stepping into the spreading shallow water in front, rolling up a burst of white water, this huge black machete, cut open the ground in front of you. Ups and downs
The head of Bursad,
Hu Keqili's eyes are fixed on this huge front line that is like a wave. Although it is very possible to rush through 1 in one fell swoop, there are too many sudden situations on the battlefield because of a small one. Negligence led to the collapse of the entire battlefield. Hu Keqili has seen too much. Five thousand imperial cavalry attacked the Aden Army camp of nearly 80,000. A little carelessness was the result of the collapse of the entire army.
The cold light that suddenly appeared at the front of the front line was like snow. Even at a long distance, it was like a light illuminating Hu Keqili's frowning brows. One hundred meters, Aden still had no response, fifty meters. , The hysterical sirens suddenly remembered. In the cold night, there seemed to be a **** smell. It was the murderous spirit that was about to be bred from the fierce collision. All the imperial soldiers who saw this scene on the wall couldn't help but swallowed nervously. , Wearing heavy armor. The imperial heavy infantry with a heavy shield, the imperial crossbowman with an imperial crossbow in his hands and a quiver full of arrows slung on his back, is using wheels to carry the imperial Thor soldiers, everyone stopped at this moment, the city head Only the sound of strong wind can be heard here
The people of Aden feel that they are going crazy. In the middle of the night, the inexplicable siren sounded like an explosion,
"Attention, the enemy attack!" In the most unlikely situation, a large-scale raid was encountered, and the Aden soldiers in half-length armor rushed out of the tent. Countless clusters of arrows came from a distance with howling and slammed into their chests. The horses that rushed into the camp drove the chaotic people into flight, dragging a long line on the ground full of blood. With long red bloodstains, the archers hurriedly ran to the camp boss. Before they drew their bowstrings, countless silver lights traversed a beautiful arc and fell from high above the sky. The bright arc light was like a slap. On the soft flesh, their bodies are almost unhindered,
The Archer of Aden opened his eyes in fear and looked at the coming enemy. His face was pale. Someone was exclaiming: "What's going on?" Before getting an answer, a cluster of arrows pierced him through.
Someone lifted the wooden bow in their hands in vain to block them. Some people trembled and began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but their hands trembled, and only shot one or two arrows, and the arrow fell from the high platform.
Some people sat on the ground with limp feet in fright, their faces turned pale, their eyes were straight, and they couldn't react.
The width of the boss is just that big. A lot of people are compressed to a corner, and there is no place to dodge or avoid. A group of people can’t do it when they are crowded together. They are like living targets in front of the Dongting archers.
The crowded soldiers were nailed to the ground in rows, and the red human blood flowed down the boss like a stream.
"Kill!"
Under the rain of arrows, it was the melee raid of the East Court cavalry, tearing in like a wolf's fangs. After piercing the human body, the lancet in his hand let go, and he pulled out the sharp and sharp prairie knife on his waist. The weight of seven or eight catties, the extremely sharp cutting edge, as long as it is applied to the leather armor on Aden's body, it must be splashed with blood! "
Dang" in the splash of sparks, the weapons collided, bringing out a wound with deep bones, and blood rushed out suddenly,
The Aden people's camp is more than two miles wide, it is not easy to kill them in one fell swoop, even if it is the hurricane of the Eastern Cavalry! It shoots into the body like a cluster of arrows. When the strength is exhausted, it will be stuck by the bones.
But the five thousand eastern cavalrymen rushed forward with all their strength, like a sharp knife thrust, the thick screams from the broad chest rang through the night, rushing forward, the beacon smoke of the earth's fierce battle glowed in the sky,
Arrow clusters plunged into the armor to bring up a fluffy bright red dazzling red ~ IndoMTL.com~ Sharp weapon pierced ** It made a tearing sound like a forceful tearing of muscles with sharp teeth, and a **** head came from Falling in midair, being trampled by galloping horseshoes and countless feet
The people of Aden were frightened for a while, the lengths of their weapons were mixed, the arrays were crowded together, and there were also a large number of slaves who didn’t know how to fight. An enemy like a tiger,
"What the **** is this? Where did these imperial cavalry come from?
Aden’s Fourth Army Commander Toblas was awakened by the sound of a violent fight outside. He quickly rushed out, wearing armor and carrying a knight sword. The sight in front of him made him take a breath.
The camp was full of flames, and countless braziers knocked over by the imperial cavalry lit up the tents. The black armored cavalry seemed to have emerged out of thin air, before dawn, suddenly raging through their front camp, hitting After dispersing his own center, the murderous rear camp also rose up with the smoke and dust, and the camp of tens of thousands of troops was pierced from the beginning.
These black armored riders are like a wall hitting, often not in position, the scared Aden soldiers have lost their blades and unarmed. He ran away after pulling his legs, and row after row was chopped and stabbed, blood spattered. The dry ground turned into a **** mud in a blink of an eye.
