In the Battle of Stalos, which decided the Big Six Center, certain shining names were like the shining stars in the night, and those shining names were undoubtedly the influential figures in this great era, and some of them were called one-eyed in later generations. Marshal Salon’s Northern Army used 30,000 troops to wipe out the main force of more than 100,000 Swadians.
There are also people. It was the powerful impact of Hu Keqili, the central general known as the Falcon’s Talon, which caused the chaos in the Swadian army, but all historians agree that it belonged to the Swadian army. The gathering tactics in the middle made the most beautiful and tragic scene of the entire Battle of Stalos begin to flash out, and eventually led to the defeat of more than 100,000 troops.
The undisputed center of focus is Varisian, who is later known as "Gore", and his first grenadier regiment, which has just been formed less than two months ago, has entered the war.
Gore has only one meaning in the 6th language of Ikadiva, destruction!
"Abandon the right wing and gather in the center!" The loud and bright trombone finally suppressed the chaos of the Swadian army to a certain extent. Hundreds of square teams on the left began to gather slowly, and finally turned into several huge flag regiments. The phalanx, like a squeezed sponge, is pressed toward the center of the array. The dense spears and steel shields are covered with a layer of armor full of spikes on the outside of the huge array, just like a solid appearing on the flat ground. Fortress
In the Battle of Stalos, there was a very strange scene,
On one side is the right wing who was killed crying father and mother, and was chased by the falcon cavalry, and on the other side is the 40,000 left wing and 30,000 central formation that did not intend to rescue, but made the decision to break the arm of the strong man.
Under this situation, the four flag regiments arranged on the right wing finally persisted. More than 20,000 soldiers with hesitant faces poured down like a tide, wrapping up the blocking officers and rushing down.
Someone shouted, "I'm surrounded. Retreat!" The soldiers turned around and fled. The officers desperately suppressed, and the supervising team began to kill, but all the methods were useless. The collapse of the army is like the bursting of a dam, nothing can stop it, as the eyes can see. Panic and destruction are everywhere. The escaped cavalry smashed into their own infantry array, and the infantry was kicked to the ground by the falcon cavalry before it could be deployed.
The knights in heavy armor were pulled down by the infantry as they fled. The infantry rushed into each other, throwing their helmets and abandoning their armor. On their side, 10,000 Falcon cavalry kept running back and forth, sprinting like swords. Snow, the fallen heads are whirling around in the mud, and the battlefield is full of routs with disorganized formations and narrowing everywhere.
They hurriedly fled to the middle formation, trying to avoid the falcon cavalry who were chasing them behind, but they were greeted by a dense cluster of arrows. Many soldiers had their eyes open before they died, and they looked unbelievable. The expression on the face, the body fell towards the direction of the formation, and even some Falcon cavalry who rushed too fast were shot by arrows falling head-on because they couldn’t dodge, and mixed with the corpses of the Swadian soldiers
"Your Highness, is it wrong to do this?"
Seeing my own person running towards the center was shot on the spot by the order of the second prince, and the faces of several Swadian generals who were behind Prince Swadian Harouskes were not looked down upon,
It’s not that the cruel people have never seen it, but so cold-blooded that they can order the coach to shoot arrows at their own people almost without hesitation. They believe that they have never seen it in their entire life, especially the prince who ordered the archery. At the time of the cold-blooded command, there was a chilling smile on the corner of his mouth
"Soldiers regard war as their bounden duty. They are deserters and they should be executed on the spot. Otherwise, how majestic can they be used to control over a hundred thousand troops!"
The second prince Harouskes, the last soldier who ran to this side, was shot into a hornet’s nest with random arrows, and his cold face looked a little absent-minded. "Since my father has ordered the throne of Swadian to be handed over to me, then As long as you obey the orders, I will naturally take full responsibility for the outcome of this battle. Don’t forget, I am the king of Swadian, the only heir to the throne designated by His Majesty Harous!"
"His Royal Highness, they are all your people!" A general Swadian who was about fifty years old looked hesitant, but still a little unwilling to say. Although they are holding weapons, they do not mean They are real soldiers, and it’s good to be able to fight like this. After all, they are facing the most elite troops in the entire Ikadiva 6! It was the most elite Northern Army that was almost beaten in the Western Wilderness. The entire army is annihilated. If it were not for the final agreement, many people here would have died in the Wild West."
The second prince Harouskes seemed very dissatisfied with this old general’s complaint. On the contrary, the few henchmen next to him looked embarrassed, and even the look in the eyes of the general Swadian can be described as resentment. ,
In fact, in order to gather a loyal military force as soon as possible, many military commanders in the Harouskes camp were degraded by the Swadian Military Affairs Department because of the unfavorable war in the North. The generals of the northern army, so this veteran's words undoubtedly offended many people, but the veteran's confident expression also shows that I am only telling the truth!
"General Ferranticu, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Finally, General Rui Downs, who is planning this battle, said with an angry look." If you say this, it is easy for people to think that they were called the Big 6 at the beginning. The number one Northern Army is at the same level as these weak and incompetent peasants, or not as good as these peasants!"
"Hehe, what's the matter with others, we can't even what others are thinking, but also need to correct it!" Said this veteran Swadian who is over half a hundred years old" I just want to remind you that you are not with a group The rabble is fighting. Your opponent is the most powerful army of the Big Six. They have defeated the Kugits in the north and the Salanders in the south, and their commander is the undefeated Vicia Falcon, or, from The battle started in such a hurry at the beginning. It was a mistake. The other party was obviously prepared. Now we should look for another fighter to conduct the battle while the main force is still there. This is the most appropriate way!"
"You are a coward, you are actually afraid of that useless Vickia Falcon!" Hearing the advice of the veteran, a young and energetic young officer sneered loudly. There seems to be only the words fearless and brave on the face
"Now, stop fighting!"
At this moment, the second prince Harouskes, who had always appeared absent-minded, interrupted their argument. Under the gaze of several generals, he still stared into the distance with scorching eyes and said mercilessly, "I know Fei General Rantiku means, but have you ever thought that if we let the army break and attack the formation, we will lose not only these tens of thousands of soldiers, but the entire Swadian,
This battle is already the last strength of my Swadian. We can only succeed, not fail. Otherwise, once the battle fails, we will no longer have any soldiers available. When that happens, we don’t need Paravin, that is, the entire Swadian. Will no longer exist under the pressure of the Falcon Dynasty army,
"So..." The second prince Harouskes paused, and said in a harsh and cold-blooded tone. "If their deaths can be exchanged for the safety of the entire formation, and they will take time to win the war, then, It is not improper to let these people who have been gifted by me lay down their humble lives for their most noble king! The kingdom is above all else!"
The "Woo" hastily received the battle from the direction of the crumbling right wing,
Thousands of Falcon Cavalry finally began to attack the line of defense after driving the last defeated army to the direction of the Swadian Center.
"Go on the crossbow!" Almost at the same time, the Central Army cavalry group of Hu Keqili drew out the already wound cavalry assault crossbow from the weapon slot of the horse crotch. Thousands of falcon cavalry with assault crossbows lined up. The huge broadside rumbling towards the position of the Swadian Army, the horseshoes flew up and the **** soil was invaded under the feet, and the red and black soil was violently thrown backwards
"Front row vertical gun!"
The Chinese army is the line of the second prince. It is well equipped. It is attacked like falcon cavalry. Numerous three-meter long spears specially used to stop the cavalry from charging, stick out from the dense gap of shields like fish scales, like one unfolded. Spiky hedgehog,
The distance of one hundred meters came in a blink of an eye. Amid the long hiss of the horses, the most frontal Falcon cavalry suddenly rose into the air at a distance of meters, and turned ninety degrees in the air. When the forefoot hits the ground, it rushes forward. The momentum has become to the left and right! The entire platoon of cavalry was as neat as a single person, the front suddenly scattered, the whole team was divided into two, with the lightness of flying swallows, they rushed to the left and right.
At the moment when the Swadian people were still stunned, coming from the direction of the Falcon Cavalry, the black cumulus cloud struck again. Amid a intensive and sharp wind, the rain of arrows poured continuously in the Swadian gunmen queue. , Thousands of falcon cavalry who are coming, almost in just a few minutes, carried out an arrow baptism to the position of the Swadian formation.
Such a skillful horsemanship, such a uniform movement~IndoMTL.com~ Such a straightforward transformation in front of the enemy, the Swadian soldiers who witnessed this miraculous frontier were all shocked and dumbfounded. There was a scream behind the shield wall phalanx, and the Swadian soldiers in the back fell down one by one, blood splashing.
The military discipline of the Chinese Army is strict, and soldiers in the phalanx will never move without authorization. Quite a few soldiers just stood upright, and the Falcon cavalry was shuttled back and forth tens of meters in front of their own formation, shooting, arrows flying horizontally in their ears, and their companions fell one by one, and the vacancies in the queue passed. The more coming, the dense formation becomes sparse and sparse,
The sharp "swish" wind tears the eardrum. The soil under my feet was soaked with blood and became wet. The screams, groans, calls for help, and commands were mixed together. A heavy sense of fear controlled the hearts of the Swadian soldiers, and the companions around them died and wounded more and more. , The queue of the phalanx can no longer be maintained.
Finally, unwilling to be targeted by the Falcon Cavalry in the same place, a Swadian knight shouted "Glory is my life!" regardless of the harsh military order. He rushed out of the queue with a sharp spear. The Falcon Cavalry rushed to the front and screamed to kill.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Countless white lines from opposite him shot through his body instantly, shooting him and the horse under the crotch into blood holes
