Power and Empire Chapter 691: The way home (5)
i91 Homecoming Five
Bao Zi sincerely thank you: i voted for a monthly pass;
Crimson Erdo received the news that the main force had disappeared abnormally, it was already the afternoon of the day,
It was the news brought back by the guards who went to transport the grain. This time, the transport team returned the full amount of grain for the first time.
Because in order to speed up the escape, the entire logistics department only brought less than a thousand catties of grain to supply the needs of His Majesty Agrork, and all other grains were abandoned in the original warehouse.
"What? You said that your majesty and the hundreds of thousands of troops are completely gone?" Crimson Erdo, who was awakened by his subordinates, was furious and funny. "Our hundreds of thousands of troops just evaporated in broad daylight! "
The leader of the transportation team said haltingly, "To be honest, it’s not evaporating... the subordinates suspected that they were removed, because except for the materials and food on the floor. ↘Go and read, go to www.93Ζm↙i Others All signs of clutter indicate that they should have retreated in a certain direction...
"Retreat? The retreat of hundreds of thousands of people, don't you even say hello?" Scarlet Erdo hurriedly put on his armor, got up out of the tent, and said, "Don't guess here, Ma sent scouts to check the situation. Make it clear and talking!"
Crimson Erdor’s camp is located in a highland, but it is covered by the village trees in front of the tent, so it is impossible to see the entire battlefield, but a rumbling volume is like a storm.
Reminiscent of the report of the transportation captain, Blush Erdo’s face changed. He could distinguish the ticking of horses’ hoofs, the hiss of horses, and the shouts of soldiers. He listened carefully and felt that it was coming from the right wing. The voice was louder, and he hurriedly called the attendants, "You all come with me, go and see what's going on"
"Yes, sir" all the attendants took their orders, and Scarlet Erduo stepped on his horse to rush to a higher slope, and the attendants behind him hurriedly chased them on their horses.
I jumped off the slope, and the sight of my eyes immediately made Scarlet Erdo take a deep breath,
"What's the matter?" Scarlet Erdo asked himself with a confused expression, and saw that about 10 miles away from his camp, a group of Nord troops with a number of about 10,000 people was being swept up by a far greater number. Several times the number of Falcons oppressed, and they fought and retreated hard to move closer to their direction
"It seems to be Powell's Fifth Banner." Erdo's eyebrows can't help but frown. The Fifth Banner is the same as himself, far away from the base camp. It seems like myself, when the main force of the base camp suddenly disappeared. It's troublesome, but after all, standing ten miles away, looking at the entire battlefield from a high place, there is a feeling of clouds and mist. The soldiers who were running, fighting, bleeding, and groaning, from a distance, only left some black spots of jumping.
Although they are in chaos, the good combat qualities of the Nord soldiers played a role at this time. Three or five soldiers spontaneously gathered together to form one small group after another, and hundreds of thousands of small groups formed a team. And dozens of teams spread out all at once, and the front line is endless like a snake,
At one glance, Crimson Erdor immediately noticed the problem inside. The defense was too open and the front line was too thin.
This kind of linear array can easily achieve a breakthrough in a certain area. If there is not even a regiment reserve team, the whole army is basically declared disintegrated. Powell of the Fifth Banner is a battlefield general. It shouldn’t be ignorant of the reason. Then the reason for putting out this array is There was only one left. The enemy on the opposite side had the same array, and Powell’s strength, so the persecuting Powell had to put the same array to resist the danger of the enemy encircling the two wings with most of his troops!
There was a rush of horse hooves behind him, and Crimson Erdor turned around and saw the scout captain riding on his horse galloping towards him.
The "General" scout captain stopped the horse in front of Scarlet Erdor with an ugly expression. On horseback, he rushed to Crimson Eldor and gave a hurried salute, reporting that "It is the fifth band of Lord Powell. Their three directions, together there are about 40,000 Falcons, and they are struggling to get closer to us! If not If rescued immediately, I don’t think they can get to our place!"
"Forty thousand Falcons army! You are sure you read it right!" Scarlet Erdor was shocked by the number in the mouth of the captain of the scout
"Yes, 40,000. This is still a conservative estimate, because I found that there are still a large number of cavalry hiding in the nearby woods and did not participate in the attack. I should not want to expose it in advance!"
"Cavalry..." Crimson Erdor's face changed again. Yes, he has already figured out what happened. The goal of this large army of Falcons is not Powell's first. The Five Flags regiment, but myself, but the fifth flag regiment appeared inadvertently and blocked the knife from behind,
Forty thousand people, and a large number of cavalry, a fierce blow from the back is enough to send your legion to hell!
"Where did your majesty and the main force of the army go?" Crimson Erdor frowned, and the report's scout captain said with an ugly face, "General, can I support the Fifth Banner with 2 regiments...I'm afraid they are true Can’t stand it anymore"
Looking at Crimson Erdor’s hesitant face, he quickly changed his words and said, "A banner group! As long as the adults are willing to send a banner group to respond, I believe the fifth banner group will break through!"
Crimson Erdo's face was silent for a while, and his falcon-sharp eyes once again looked at the battlefield fighting in the distance. Definitely said "I can't send reinforcements!"
"General, once the Fifth Banner Regiment is broken through, we will have to face the dilemma of double-sided attack! This is not the time to save our strength by stingy troops!" The scout captain said with an anxious expression
Crimson Eldor shook his head and said affirmatively, "The Fifth Banner Regiment will not be in danger of being annihilated for the time being. If the Falcon Army really did that, they would have been annihilated long ago. You just said that there are a large number of them. The cavalry is lurking in the woods? In other words, they are approaching here through the woods!"
"It should be" the captain of the scout was stunned.
"Do you mean those areas by the woods?" Crimson Erduo pointed at the cypress a mile away, a vast green forest.
"This, it should be about the same!" The scout captain said uncertainly
"If I send reinforcements. What do you think is waiting for us there?" Scarlet Erdor's words were full of Xiao Sha.
"My lord means that the enemy's cavalry will ambush us in the middle?" The captain of the scout was relieved, and his eyes were raised in confusion, because the distance of the jungle is too dense, even with his good eyesight. Seeing a vast expanse of greenery, the outline of the forest loomed like clouds.
"Look at what it is?" Scarlet Erdo raised his fingers with a serious face, and followed the direction of his hand, the captain of the scout looked at. The body shook, rubbed his eyes, and exclaimed "What's that?"
On the edge of the forest, there are some small spots. The color of these small dots is not consistent with the color of the forest, as if the words are moving. The captain of the scout took a closer look, and that's right, it was indeed some small spot in activity.
"Is that a tree? Or...?"
"They are the cavalry who are waiting for my reinforcements!" Scarlet Erdo sighed. "Although I don't know what the situation is, one thing is certain, that is, we are completely surrounded. I and the Fifth Banner , Is falling into the trap of the Falcon Army step by step!"
"General. I'm sending scouts in that direction. I hope not, but if it is really what we imagine...we must prepare early." The captain of the scout turned around and yelled.
Crimson Erduo nodded and said, "I will defend here, I hope my judgment is wrong, otherwise, it will really be a disaster"
The Falcon Army's attack on the Fifth Banner Regiment came to a halt at about 3 in the afternoon. The offensive Falcon soldiers retreated like a tide, allowing the remains of the Falcon Regiment to move closer to Crimson Eldor.
The scout captain who went to investigate rolled down his saddle embarrassedly, took off his head plate, blood stained and panicked, and ran forward staggeringly, but was tripped by a rock and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
It made the guard soldiers nearby burst into laughter. But soon, they couldn't laugh, and the scout captain raised his head, and screamed like a stern voice that was not like a human voice tearing the air, "My lord! The army! The army of the Falcon Dynasty is coming! I saw Vecchia. The King Flag of the Falcon"
Crimson Erdo suddenly stood up, his face pale. On the western horizon, there was a first line of dazzling flashes, and the black pulsating dots gathered into a line, advancing densely.
On March 18th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, an army led by Fatty himself appeared on the battlefield.
60 thousand falcon cavalry emerged from the forest and jungle, advancing with a rigorous battle lineup. Walking in the front is the eleven light cavalry squadrons that are in formation. It is the essence of the Kujit rangers. Most of them are composed of the strongest and most experienced veterans among the Kujites. The cavalry walks in dense formations. Pushing forward with a serious expression, his body swayed rhythmically with the advance of the war horse.
Following the cavalry formation is the 20,000 infantry corps. The black and overwhelming infantry formation is like a forest, with no end in sight, and the rear formation is still pouring out continuously. The black armor seems to be able to swallow the luster of the sun, and countless flying flags are like the ocean rolling the wind and waves
The messenger galloped between the teams, with a red cloak flying thinly behind him, like the tail of a meteor swiftly flying across the sky, with loud commands resounding through each array
"Stay steady and keep the queue!"
"Keep speed!"
"The former team...slowly...!"
"Hoo" A huge falcon battle flag studded with a gold thread appeared from the middle of the queue~IndoMTL.com~Crimson Erdo took a deep breath, the legendary falcon battle flag!
"It is the battle flag of the Vicia Falcon!" The arrival of this special flag brought the greatest shock to the entire battlefield, no less than an eighth magnitude earthquake, and the Nord soldiers held their weapons tightly. Sweat drips from the palms of my hands, looking at the army surging from the horizon, the mountain-like shining swords, guns and swords, the falcon flag flying in the air, a heavy and terrifying premonition presses Denuo The German soldiers could not breathe.
For ten minutes, Crimson Erdo couldn't say a word, and the generals who had gathered next to him closed their mouths tightly.
The command tent was shrouded in a depressed, heavy silence.
"Your Majesty is over? Where are our hundreds of thousands of troops?"
This is an unspoken sentence in everyone’s mind,
If this were not the case, how could the main force led by the Vicia Falcons appear in the direction that should have been their own base camp at this moment
