Power and Empire Chapter 610: The Battle of Kyoto (5)
610 Battle of Kyoto (5)
Central Salander, Fort Birming
The gentle and gentle morning light gently spilled on the ruins of Birming Castle, reflecting on these incomplete houses, revealing a faintly sad beauty.
These ruins have not been so peaceful for a long time. Since the army in Kyoto established a logistics base here a year ago to support Kyoto, it has become a gathering place for soldiers and the starting point of many passionate youths’ dreams of serving the country, and many people’s starting point has also become here. At the end, both **** and soul are deeply buried in this deep land.
This used to be the most tragic battlefield. It is the key attack area of the Normans. The charred brick walls, the broken roof, and the ruins of repeated burning all show this deeply.
The Marquis of Berentec got up very early, and his years of war career prevented him from lying in bed. The morning in Birming Castle had become so quiet, so peaceful, and he felt deeply unaccustomed.
He walked to the top of the hill south of Fort Birming, and walked silently by himself, breathing the rare smoke-free air by the way. It had just rained, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the few remaining small trees seemed to have sprouts a little bit of green sprouts, which made people feel the tenacity of vitality. I also feel the arrival of spring,
"The joy after the victory of the recovery of all things is always short-lived, and the distress will follow.
In the northern plan some time ago, the officers of the Salander army led their troops northward, fighting more or less for some fertile land, and then taking a lot of oil and water from it.
Only him, not only did not compete for the task of reporting good news to Beijing, but also because of his dissatisfaction with his colleagues' behavior of exploiting the local aristocrats, many great aristocrats in Kyoto have a huge prejudice against him. When a large amount of land needs the army to take over, Unfortunately, he became the supreme commander of Lieubming Castle.
The outbreak of the Northern War was as he expected. After a period of active offensive, it fell into a stalemate. Birmingborg remains the same. The dark clouds of war are too far away from here.
With a large number of combative troops being dispatched to newly regained areas, the former heavily armed area of Birmingburg is now basically an empty stall with fewer than 5,000 recruits.
They are all leftovers by other generals. The intelligence of most soldiers is said to have problems, even some officers. The brutal war caused Salander to lose a large amount of land and population, and gradually depleted the soldiers of the kingdom, even those who were physically or mentally ill. As long as he could carry a spear and a scimitar, he was forcibly recruited into the army.
However, the Marquis of Berencourt did not think there was anything wrong with the empty stall. As the threat of the Normans receded, Birming Castle had become a veritable rear area.
The front and back of this place is the territory of the Salanders themselves, so there is nothing to worry about. In the past when there was no war zone, there has never been a military team stationed here. I have long been accustomed to frontline life. It feels good to stay behind occasionally.
The morning sun is indeed very beautiful, soft and warm, making the Marquis of Berantec feel more comfortable than ever. He went all the way to the hill and stood on the top of the bare hill.
Look at the vast land ahead. The familiar military camp is still spreading on the periphery of the city, but it is empty inside. Like this huge air force camp, the entire Birmingburg is empty. Except for the trembling old people walking on the empty streets, it’s just frolicking. Children chase in the ruins, in these innocent gazes, something so remote during the war,
The Marquis of Berantec suddenly felt that the victory in front of him seemed unusually unreal. The sun fell on this quiet land, and a layer of golden hazy scenery emerged.
The breeze blew, and the scenery in front of me seemed to float, although it looked very beautiful. But when you reach out to touch it, you can't touch anything.
Suddenly, a rush of horse hooves pulled the Marquis of Berantec back from the trance. He listened sensitively, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
The long war career made him very sensitive to the sound of horseshoes. And also exercised superhuman judgment ability. The sound of this horse's hoof is very dense, and the coming is fierce, it is obviously that the comer is not kind,
At that moment when the good did not come, he was so excited that he almost felt that half of his body was plunged into the ice cellar, could it be. . . . . . .
Looking up in amazement, the Marquis of Berantec immediately noticed that a large number of cavalry had swarmed in the southeast of Birmingburg. In the sunshine, the cavalry seemed to be speeding black shadows, instantly occupying his eyeballs.
He looked at it condescendingly, and felt that the group of cavalry seemed to be a black ocean spreading over the mountains and plains. They instantly flooded the flat land southeast of Fort Birming, and flooded the ruins of two villages there. The dust and the sky are tightly connected together, and the flying falcon flag is particularly eye-catching in the morning light.
Oh my God, how can the Cavalry of the Vikia be in Birmingburg
Berentek saw the battle flag fluttering in the wind, his face suddenly became abnormally pale, and his breathing almost stopped. No matter in the past or in the present, he had never thought that Vekya was unexpectedly Will appear in the rear of Birming Castle.
It should be our site there
He couldn't believe everything in front of him. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, hoping it was an illusion, but the facts told him that all of this was real. But he still couldn't believe it anyway, all this in front of him was real
Boom...
The sound of heavy horseshoes shook the entire Birmingburg like thunder. The Salander soldiers who were in charge of standing guard stood there in horror. They were all recruits, who had never been to the battlefield, and did not respond to such sudden emergencies. *The experience of the situation, they stared blankly at the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer. The tall horses leaped at high speed, like a whole row of hills surging, and the black clouds were like tides, so that all the Salander soldiers I feel terrified and hard to resist from my heart
They didn't know if they should immediately pull up the castle's drawbridge, because they couldn't tell whether the flying cavalry was an enemy or a friendly. It was not until two minutes later that sporadic warning bells rang in the ruins of Birming Castle with deep consternation.
The sound of the bell was so lonely and so monotonous, like a rusty steel knife slowly passing through everyone’s minds, and a Salander squadron leader hurried over, Xiang Zheng The Marquis of Berantec, who walked hurriedly over, reported the situation. He hesitated and said, "General, it is the Vicky Cavalry. Do we need to fight back? Should we ask, what exactly they want to follow, or if they just need something. Passing by here?"
The face of the Marquis of Berantec was blue, almost angered. These idiots really have a problem with their brains. The Vicia Cavalry has already fully launched a battle formation, and said what misunderstandings and passing by,
"They just yelled viciously at the Marquis of Berantec who came to Birmingburg. "What the **** do you misunderstand? They are the enemy who came to **** Birmingburg, do you want to fight back?" "
The Salander soldiers were stunned, all with weird faces. They seemed to think that Berantek's words were a bit sensational. After a few seconds in a daze, they hurriedly turned around. Ten minutes later. The noisy Salander soldiers rushed up the wall in a hurry, and the chaotic and rushing footsteps covered the hoofs of the Vicky Cavalry in a short time.
With the harsh sound of the bell, the remaining soldiers who were still asleep instinctively got up and got ready for battle. But their expressions seemed completely at a loss. They didn't know what other battles would be after the victory. Many people look at me, I look at you, and the officer, and everyone looks at each other.
The more and more Berantek looked, he became more and more angry, yelling at them, "The Vikiya have been killed. I don't want to die, so I took up all the weapons and gave me the wall"
The officers and soldiers just woke up like a dream. They hurriedly put on the armor, but they soon became even more at a loss. These recruits have been trained on weekdays, and this is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the entire barracks are completely messed up. The Marquis of Berantec was walking up the aisle of the city wall, and he heard the earnest whispers of many soldiers inadvertently, obviously full of confusion.
"Isn't it said that the Wikiya people are all in the north? How could they come to us?"
When the Salander soldiers garrisoned in Birmingburg rushed up the low and narrow wall in a mess, they suddenly discovered that this was the most spectacular scene they had seen since joining the army.
Most of them have been in the army for less than three months. When they joined the army, Sarand Kyoto had secretly fornicated with the Normans, and the horrors of the war did not affect them.
Under the morning light, on the ground in front of Fort Birming, the densely packed Viking cavalry formed a broad fan, spreading from the east to the west. It is like a black line that fastens Birmingburg to death, and it is like a sharp sickle, which can completely erase Birmingburg from the world at any time. Someone quietly counted the number of Vikia cavalry, at least 15,000 people
"**, where are there so many cavalry for the Vikya people"
Every soldier in the Kingdom of Sarand feels a little numb in their scalp. They can’t imagine the sight of 15,000 cavalry stepping on Birmingburg. They only have a mere 5,000, how can they stop 20,000? Attack of the brave cavalry? Almost the moment they witnessed the appearance of the Vicia cavalry, most of the Salander soldiers gave up the idea of resistance in their hearts.
The head of the Marquis of Bertek is also a little dazed, even a little bit cold in his hands and feet. There are 15,000 cavalrymen, three times as many as his defenders, and they are also extremely powerful cavalrymen. He now absolutely believes that these Vikya cavalry can fully charge, just like Birming Castle erased from the map.
From the arrow tower of the castle tower, he can clearly see that the cavalry of Vicia are all young people, wearing black armor and holding the famous Samor sword in their hands. , Their demeanor, and even their actions, their horses, fully demonstrated that they are fierce Samor cavalry who are not inferior to the legendary northern Khergits.
"It must be the coward of Lin Kesong. Only his defense zone can pass so many cavalry, but there is no report." The Marquis of Berantec cursed viciously with bloodshot eyes. Today is a lot of misfortune. Whether he and the 5,000 recruits stationed in Birmingburg can continue to survive depends entirely on miracles.
There are a lot of rumors about the Vicia army. Although I have not really seen it, it is confirmed that 7,000 people defeated the Molech Corps with 20,000 elites in the battle of Mollenburg.
According to Berantek’s estimation, the combat effectiveness of the Vikya army under the city. With just one squadron and less than a thousand people, they can beat the gang of fool soldiers that they bring to their heads. The Marquis of Berantec never dared to think that the army of King Salander was more powerful than the Normans, and it was more powerful in the face of combat. The Wiki runner-up.
Even if there are two or three times the number of people, it is very dangerous, not to mention that his current army is only a quarter of the Vicky Cavalry.
"Negotiating I want to negotiate"
Berentek roared furiously, he could only buy time like this. The Marquis de Berantec hoped that the fast horse to report the news would arrive within one day. If there is no support force to come and rescue him before the sun rises tomorrow, he will be completely finished.
"Negotiating? The opposing commander is a bit interesting"
The fat man was riding on a horse, playing with a whip in his hand, watching the opponent sneaking out a few fast horses to the northeast, with a conspiracy smile at the corner of his mouth, and pointed at the guard cavalry beside him, "Tell him, We agreed to negotiate"
Commander Vicia agreed to negotiate the matter, letting the Marquis of Berantec breathe a sigh of relief, and the representatives of the two sides conducted field negotiations in the open space in front of Birmingburg.
The negotiator of the Vikya people is the leader of the Fifth Banner, Sotts. The rigorous leader of the banner doesn't speak much, but his attitude is very tough. He made it clear that Birmingborg must be surrendered and that the Salander army must withdraw from Birmingborg within half a day, otherwise, Vicky Runners will use force to achieve its goal.
The "Asshole" Berentek was mad, and the Vikya army was too arrogant. This is the hinterland of the Salander army. Lin Songke’s 20,000 troops are stationed in the northwest, and Burrent’s 40,000 troops are stationed in the northeast.
Vickia's army ran to this place where there were enemies on the left and right. Either they were nervous or the other party was a real idiot. Now they are looking like they are going to receive it. Apart from proving that the other party is absolutely crazy, he really can't find anything. Reason.
"They didn't say, why are you here?" Berantek asked unwillingly, for fear of what the people who sent to negotiate would leave behind, the actions of the Vijaya army are really incomprehensible
"No. It's really gone." The squadron leader who was sent to negotiate was a very clever squadron. Under the **** eyes of the Marquis of Berentec, he was a little scared to say nothing. "They are very tough. Said, if we do not withdraw. They will launch an offensive. We only have one hour. Please make a decision quickly."
The negotiator said tremblingly. When he went down just now, he saw that the entire row of cavalry on the opposite side was like a long black wall, and the aura was like a rainbow, and he was so scared that he was so frightened.
"**, really crazy"
The Marquis of Berantec walked to the highest point of the arrow tower. Looking down at the dense blue feather army cavalry, his face became even paler. It can be done with a piece of dead ashes. Those Salander soldiers who were observing the commanding heights were also grim-faced, their breathing stopped, some began to tremble slightly, and some quietly hid.
It turns out that during the negotiations just now, the Vickia cavalry was not prepared to stop the war. In the short ten minutes of the negotiations, the trebuchet for the siege was set up.
About a dozen large trebuchets are lined up, and under the sunlight, the long arms are shining with a cold light. Beside the trebuchets, there are horses carrying black projectiles. For every trebuchet, at least three horses are responsible for carrying black projectiles. Since the Kujit tribe in the north was attached, the use of war horses by the Vijaya army has skyrocketed.
"Remember, if you don't want to die, just guard the wall for me"
The Marquis of Berantec turned pale, and could only yell from the outside world. The soldiers of the Salander army hesitated to enter. They were obviously not prepared for the battle.
After entering the city wall, they did not choose to stick to it, but carefully lie behind the battlements, looking for all objects that can be covered, and completely cover their bodies behind, because there are too many people lying on their faces, which leads to nothing. The long city wall looks smooth and sleek, and it looks very full of autumn breeze
"Hey, it's really life-threatening." The Marquis of Berantec was full of bitterness and shook his head helplessly. This kind of army still wants to fight against the real elite outside? It's a shame. If I knew that there was today, I should train this bunch of recruits so that I lost my face this time, and even he could feel it. My heart is beating unconvincingly. As a commander with a long history of battle, he knew that he was doing it purely as a man-armed vehicle,
The fuel projectile of the Vekia army. It is a powerful weapon that shocks the entire continent. It is said that the strongest city wall cannot withstand the projectile bombing of the Vekia army, perhaps a projectile of the Vekia army. Coming over, he will become the most miserable general to die in the Kingdom of Salander.
Time passed by moment by moment~IndoMTL.com~Boom... Just one hour came, and countless fuel bombs with long black tails whizzed across the sunny sky, and then fiercely Fell on the ruins of Fort Birming,
The huge roar and vibrating city wall trembles. In fact, the explosive power of the mortar projectile is not strong. It is just because there are too many, so the power is very amazing. The entire ruins of Birmingburg feels like dancing.
Berantek himself had to shrink behind the battlements a little embarrassedly. The fierce red flames exploded next to him one after another, splashing countless dust, and hitting him with a huge impact. 'S armor is banging,
Flying dust fell on his head, and he was immediately embarrassed. Finally opened his eyes. The Marquis of Berantec can only see helplessly,
The fierce attack from the Vekia army has completely covered the ruins of Birmingburg. He can't see a living person in his eyes. It seems that all the soldiers of the Salander army are hidden.
