769 Starros Battle (8)
Baozi sincerely thank you: Sange Changshanbara voted for a monthly pass;
With the last blush of the distant mountains on the horizon, the most tragic battle in the history of the Icadiva continent is coming to an end,
Because of the excellent performance of the Grenadier Regiment of the Falcon Dynasty, the number of Swadians who died in the explosion just now reached more than 20,000, and there were more than 10,000 who lost combat ability due to injuries, plus the previous attack on the fortress. Forward and abandoned right wing,
The 200,000 army set out from Paravin, but in one day, more than 140,000 people were killed and injured, and nearly three-quarters of the battle damage. The corpses piled up in this area called the earth tomb by later generations. On the muddy meadow ground, some were soaked white, their bodies swelled, and some looked unwilling to the sky above their heads,
The most shocking thing is that the corpses of tens of thousands of Swadians form a huge ring around the main Falcon army. The broken limbs are everywhere, and the red blood seeps into the soil. , The dense large black potholes make this place as terrible as the **** in the biography,
The terrible battlefield that can't be seen at the end, the mountain of corpses, the short spears stuck on the battlefield, the broken spears and epees everywhere, the corpses of people and horses are piled up like a mountain. Hands and feet were also poked on Shishan, like flags stuck there. In this **** battlefield, the corpses are boundless.
In front of the Falcon army advancing over the corpse, there are only more than 50,000 troops who have been completely scared. They screamed and screamed, and some knelt in front of the rolling Vekia army. When surrendered on the ground, some simply lay down on the mud to load the corpse, but more soldiers knelt on the ground with a numb expression. The swords and shields in their hands were weakly thrown to the ground.
In the face of the Falcon army getting closer and closer, in their eyes, there is no longer a previous tenacity, but the collapse of faith and will is gray. Countless Swadian soldiers knelt on the ground at this moment with their heads Hanging down, a few hours of fighting has exhausted their physical strength, and it seems that they have become a spoil that the Vijaya army can grab at will,
Because the number of people who surrendered was too much, which blocked the advancement of some Falcon troops, it was inevitable that there was a range of massacres. The fat man had to order not to slaughter the prisoners arbitrarily, which allowed most Swadians People save their lives
The second prince of Swadian, Harrasques, silently watched this scene. He did not choose to escape. Instead, he ordered the Kingdom’s Golden Lion Flag, which had been floating in front of the main camp, to be lowered. Seeing the flag slowly falling, he was behind The 500 royal guard knights knelt on one knee, crying in pain. Has the golden lion flag that once represented the overlord of the mainland, a symbol of the kingdom's strength and glory finally come to a close?
Fold the soft silk banner in his hand and hand it over to the old general next to him with extreme caution.
"General Ferranticu, please take this thing back to Palavin. No matter what you use to destroy it, it shouldn’t fall into the hands of the Vekya here! This will bring glory to the Swadian The royal family is ashamed!"
"Your Highness! What you want..."
Ferrandico's slightly old face looks a little red, and there is a piece of iron in his throat,
He knelt on one knee, and very heartily took over the golden lion chess, which has been a symbol of the glory of the royal family of Swadian from the day when Swadian was founded, and he didn't even come out a complete sentence.
It is undeniable that this second prince may not be a king, but his loyalty to the country is beyond reproach. This is not just the handing over of a flag, it is also a symbol of royal heritage. He already understands that the second prince has made up his mind to die here, the flag is annihilated, and the Swadian royal family will no longer exist
"Also, tell Paravin's guard Amosd" the second prince calmly supported him with his hands, then mounted the horse sent by the guard, turned his head and said.
"If the Falcon Army attacked Palavin, let him surrender immediately. There are enough people dead here. Although the Vickia Falcon is notorious, if you look carefully, you will find that he never kills or surrenders. Will not slaughter the people in the occupied area, for the hundreds of thousands of people in Paravin, we will ask him to bear the humiliation charge!"
"His Royal Highness"
In Ferranticu’s dim eyes wet with tears, the figure of the second prince Harouskes has mixed with the 500 remaining royal guard knights.
"Charge! Victory belongs to Swadian!"
The second prince’s slightly hoarse shout with a desolation, with a violent sound of horseshoes, 500 knights charged against the morale of the tens of thousands of falcons army, before they ran to the side, they were swiftly The shot clusters of arrows inserted into hedgehogs, and the horses and people were like hitting an invisible wall, slamming into the muddy ground.
The sound of broken bones came into the ears, and a piercing pain came from all the joints of the body. Prince Harouskes just lay miserably in the mud for more than ten minutes. A dead body The pile of Vicia crossbowmen ended his life,
Taking a pocket from the corpse's arms into his pocket, the Vekia crossbowman continued to look for the next target. He didn't know that he had killed a big man, because the muddy corpse couldn't judge the target. As an ordinary soldier, he can’t tell the difference between these noble lords, and many of the corpses everywhere are Swadian nobles.
On November 8, Fort Tikhborg on the Nord border. The weather is not very hot, especially in the spacious conference hall, with ventilated windows on all sides, and the cool draught flying by constantly, taking away the heat from people, but since the imperial meeting, General Nord below We have been wiping sweat.
At the meeting, the embarrassed generals of Noord argued hoarsely. If it weren't for His Majesty Agrork, they had already fought.
Everyone has a set of explanations. Everyone is claiming that he is not at fault. Everyone is sternly accusing his allies of "it is him! That is, he was the first to retreat."
Nord is a military nation, and it is particularly severe on military defeats. Think of the Marquis of Tinis, the commander of the Fifth Army, who has drawn his sword to commit suicide and apologizes. General Nord feels that everyone is in danger. With the news of the Battle of Stalos, the Nords realized how rare they missed. An opportunity,
A great battle of hundreds of thousands of people unfolded grandiosely under my nose. The two sides added up to more than 300,000 people. The battle between the two old enemies of the Swadian and the Falcon Dynasty, think of this. The precious fighter just slipped away. No one can guarantee that His Majesty Agrork will not chop off a few heads to "kill the chicken and the monkey". This is the key to life and death, and there is no humility.
The generals are well aware of the reason why it is reasonable to have a loud voice. They all quarreled like bells and shook the walls of the hall. If anyone does not want to be the unfortunate "chicken", his voice The most is to zoom in.
The conclusion of the meeting was incredible. The generals finally said in unison, "It's all the fault of the dead ghost of Tinnis! Please punish him severely!" The generals all know that it is safest to push all the errors to the dead. .
Although the Marquis of Tinis had some status in the German military, now even his ghost is trembling with anger, he can’t get out of the tomb.
Actually, everyone knows that the Fourth Army, as the King’s Guards, was the biggest responsible person for this battle, and the commander of the Fourth Army, Marquis Spitanger, was the biggest responsible person for this military defeat.
If it were not for the defeat of the Fourth Army, the cavalry of the Falcon Dynasty would not launch a large-scale harassment from the gap of Stemonido, causing the Nord Military Department to make a wrong judgment and lose it in vain. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
It's just that the captains dare not point out. The forces of the traditional martial arts are like a giant that no one dares to touch in the Nordic world, not to mention the Fourth Army, which is known as one of the King’s Guards,
I didn’t see the Marquis of Spitange who made a big mistake. His Majesty had only revoked the title of his army commander and transferred him from the attack queue back to Kyoto. In fact, the Fourth Army was already named. Forget it, it doesn’t make sense to have this captain’s title.
Salton, who has always been known for his calm personality, has not said a word since the beginning of the meeting as the person in charge of the Battle of Peragle. For the defeat in this battle, he bears the unshirkable responsibility, and he is also the most affected. One of the targets of criticism, especially the generals of the martial arts who have always been displeased with him, is to point the main target at him,
From the beginning of the meeting, those generals who have inextricably linked with the traditional martial arts began to blast continuously: "Why didn't you give the Fourth Army a retreat order in time?
"No time? A week ago we got the news that the main force of the 100,000 Falcon Dynasty army had assembled in the Emilia Mountains! Do you think they went hunting in the Emilia Mountains!
Forced the Fourth Army to immediately send troops to occupy a worthless stronghold like Stromdo~IndoMTL.com~ eventually resulted in the casualties of more than 30,000 of the kingdom’s most elite soldiers? This is a serious command error!
If the Fourth Army were still there, the Vekyas would never survive such a frenzied attack! Also, after discovering the attacking intentions of the Wikiyas, why did Daying not mobilize reinforcements in time? This is an extremely serious dereliction of duty! "
Every question was spotted on the terrible joint, and in this planned verbal offensive, Leton couldn't answer a single question.
The power of the traditional martial arts is too strong, and all the generals of Nord dared not help him. Only the old general who supervised the war wanted to come out, but was stopped by Salton. This defeat needed a scapegoat. , Whether he can argue or not, Salton bears the brunt, one death is more important than two deaths
He could only lower his head, and vaguely argued for himself with a look of ashamedness: "Vicya people are too sudden, we were caught off guard...really too sudden..."
