Power and Empire Chapter 661: Battle of Yiying (1)
Battle of Yiying (1)
In the dim light, Swadian Military Secretary Praias put an urgent document in his hand heavily on the table. In the gloomy night, the wind was hanging outside, and the whimper of the wind sounded like a dying man. People are groaning,
"Papa" a torrent of rain hit the frizzy glass windows, sometimes with a period of deathly silence. The heavy rain made the entire Boliangqi Fort suffer, the trees swayed in pain, and their heads bowed sadly.
The torrential rain swept over, shrouded everything in the world in the violent storm. The candlelight in the crystal lampshade also seemed to fluctuate because of the violent wind coming in from the tiny gap in the window from time to time. Lightning across the sky from time to time left a shocking arc of fire on the window, followed by deafening thunder.
Rain water like spring water washed the outer walls of the castle. On the old mossy roof, among the scattered gravel, on the smooth stone steps, there were waves of tireless and monotonous percussions. The white raindrops turned into crystal clear water splashes, like a huge white curtain, covering the entire castle in it
This is an important stronghold in the south-central Ribogan, Bolianqi Fort, once the residence castle of the famous Hast family with a century of glory. The cavalry in the East Court once occupied it during the Ribogan raid, but in Under the strong counterattack of the Swadian army, they abandoned this place in 10 days, and now it is Prais’ headquarters
There is a large map on Plais’s desk. The blue of Swadian and the red of the Eastern Cavalry are intertwined on the map, like a huge irregular arc, but it can be seen clearly. Out, blue is squeezing the red range, like a heavy object, it seems to want to completely crush the red bars,
There is also a black eye on the far border. It is the army of the Falcon dynasty who is watching its changes. Although there is a secret agreement of non-interference, Play has never believed that the Vijay Falcons will keep their promises. Si, I still hope that the black line can poke red from behind, just fine,
5 million gold coins in exchange for a promise not to participate in the war. This is a bit of a loss, but there is no way. If the army of the Falcon Dynasty and the Dongting people take advantage of the fire, I am afraid that the entire Swadian will quickly collapse.
"Bang" there was a crisp knock on the door,
Prays continued to focus on the map, bent over, and drew two diagonal lines along the staggered boundary with the pen in his hand, as if trying to figure out something.
"Come in"
He replied without turning his head, that he will be disturbed at this time, only the new adjutant Baron Lilac from Kyoto, who is a young man full of vitality,
A high-achieving student in the Department of Strategy of Paravin College, the heir of the Kyoto rich Lilac family, any of them is enough to become the envy of contemporary young people.
But this guy is obsessed with his daughter, Prady Aire, and actively asks to come to the front line to participate in the war, through a certain way, arrange to become his personal adjutant
"If you can let the girl's father accept you, then you are half done." This proverb has a high sense of identity among young Swadian nobles,
In this knight society that pays attention to military merit and background, it is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut to get a certain recommendation and have the opportunity to become an adjutant of a certain powerful.
Women always adore heroes. Young adjutants, handsome appearance, prominent status, and handsome speech and demeanor are enough to make young girls who are still in the beginning of their love enthusiasm,
Unfortunately, I don’t know why. Prady Aire, who returned from Remir, seemed to ignore all this, but often stared at the mangrove trees outside the window. This made Prais a little regretful, but it can only be attributed to Prady Aire has no feeling for this young adjutant
As the door opened, a young man with spirited short hair and a straight military uniform walked in from the outside, his young face was full of heroic coldness,
Because they are rarely exposed to the scorching sun, their complexion is a bit fake white, which is a characteristic of high-ranking nobles. In Palavin, such people are called blue-blooded nobles because the corners of their fake white mouths can see blue. Vascular,
He first saluted the Minister of Military Affairs who was paying attention to the map, and then took out a document from his back and said loudly, "My lord, this is the report we just received. The heavy rain washed the east of the Bora River. The four bridges, Master Tarui of the Fourth Army and Master Sadit of the Sixth Army, thought that they could no longer move forward, and requested to withdraw to stand by."
"Four more collapsed seats." Prays frowned when he heard the report, raised his head a little confused, and said to himself. Counting yesterday’s 2 seats, wouldn’t it have collapsed six seats? The construction of the place where Riboken bridges the bridge should not be so bad, right? Such a rainy season will happen every year. Does this happen every time?"
"I also find it weird." To Prais’s confusion, the young adjutant gave the same answer. "I’ve been to Rebergen in the rainy season before, but the situation was not like this at that time, although the wood was destroyed. The condition of the bridge, but there is absolutely no record of destroying the stone bridge. Among the bridges reported this time, there are 3 but solid stone bridges. This is simply incredible."
"Oh, do you mean that there are three stone bridges in the bridge that collapsed today?" Prais was filled with surprises on his face, and passed the pen in his hand to the adjutant to mark the location of the collapsed stone bridge.
As the position is marked, Prais’s face becomes more and more serious,
As all the locations of the broken bridges are marked, it can be clearly seen that this is an irregular half-arc. Behind this half-arc is a wide river with no way to go back. In front is a wide flat ground, and a place name can be seen vaguely in the middle, Yiyingte Racecourse
"Damn, I was fooled by Prais and he bounced off his seat almost reflexively." The people in Dongting must have done tricks on the bridge in advance, the purpose is to isolate Yi Yingte, and now it is the legion that is in it. Where is it stationed? "
The young adjutant seemed to have also realized what was going on, and a large cold sweat climbed onto his forehead,
Yinte is where Ribogen’s largest grassland is. It is a pasture where war horses were raised. The ground is flat, which is most conducive to the large-scale movement of cavalry groups. If the target of the Dongting people is really here, it would be terrible. Qian With heavy soldiers and no retreat, it is simply a place to die.
After reminiscing for a while, he quickly replied
"The first knights of His Royal Highness, because they are the fastest advancing legion and the forward to contain the Eastern Cavalry, so they have crossed the Pola River 5 days ago and entered the British who can rest their horses. It’s raining in the special grass field now, I’m afraid it’s already difficult to retreat"
"How the **** is this" Prais said with a pale face and angrily. His Majesty is the most hopeful person of His Majesty. If anything happens to him, all of us will be executed. Tarui and Sardi. Especially, at all costs, even if it is filled with people, we must build a bridge over the Bora River and immediately enter the Yinte."
In the north-central part of Riboken, Yiyingte Racecourse
White raindrops hit the muddy ground, and thick meadows bend down in the heavy rain.
"Your Majesty, the rain here is too heavy, let's go back to the guard tower first." A great knight commander who followed behind the prince Alsacs, shielded the raindrops from his head with his hands, and pulled his unique rough throat. Yelled, "I don’t know when the rain is going to fall. There is no place to block the rain. Once a large area of cold disease appears in the army, it will cause serious attrition.
In order to appease the military, the prince Alsacs did not choose to shelter from the rain in the guard tower, but to inspect the camp under heavy rain
The rain came too hard and it took less than half a day to wash down the dilapidated straw huts left on the racecourse, and the military tents didn’t work. The entire ground was large and small. Water pools and mud pits, not to mention living, it is difficult to find a clean place, except for the only three-story observation tower, the entire racecourse is covered with water
The residence of the First Knights of Swadian is on a **** of the racecourse, and collapsed tents and haylofts abound on the messy ground. Under the downpour, these noble knights are like little chased away. Rabbits can only condescend and squeeze dirty horses in small stone stables,
Noisy human voices filled the rain, and the ground was full of small streams of rainwater, like long silver earthworms, flowing along the stems of the grass.
Because of the chaos, the knights’ weapons are scattered against the wall. There are knight’s spears, flails, battle axes, flail, and even some horse saddles, because of the continuity of the battle. Pushing forward, there is a feeling of arrogance and complacency in the First Knights,
I think that the elite cavalry of the East Court is nothing more than the same. In front of the heavily armored Swadian knights, the famous black armor archers are just a bunch of embroidered pillows that collapse in one fell swoop, except for the thin bows and arrows in their hands. Some innocuous harassment, almost no effect is seen
"Ready to fight at any time"
It is a knight instinct trained all the year round~IndoMTL.com~ But these knights in front of you are very loose, just like a heavy rain, it proves that this kind of emotion has reached a certain level
In the distance of "His Royal Highness", a group of cavalry is running here in the rain. The leader is a great knight commander with a red ribbon floating on his head. The bright armor is covered with mud and water, and the knight's cloak represents glory. Became a water rag,
"It is the Grand Knight Commander of Setter who went to the rear to dispatch the defense tent"
Alsacs recognized the identity of the great knight commander, and saw that the other party came back empty-handed in embarrassment, and his eyebrows were tied tightly.
"Where are the supplies for you to receive?" Alsacs asked loudly.
"The bridge is broken. All the bridges leading to the back are broken. Before the heavy rain stops, I'm afraid there will be no supplies." The great knight commander stepped down from the horse with a helpless expression and condensed his body into a ball. Untied his cloak and took the towel from an attendant. "It seems we have to figure out a solution by ourselves"
His voice has not yet fallen, a stern sound of grace came from the air, and countless black spots fell in the rain,
