Power and Empire: Six hundred and seven Battle of Kyoto (2)
6o7 Battle of Kyoto (2)
The setting sun shone on the huddled back of Fuba Building. His angry eyes swept across the ground in front of him, and he took a deep breath of the cold air of early spring.
The 13th Mamunuk Army? Faba Building raised his head, a wry smile appeared on the corners of his pale mouth. The entire Kingdom of Salander knew that His Majesty Sultan had 12 Mamunuk Knights directly under his command.
Three of them are in the hands of the Duke of Borrent, who is holding on to the northern line, two are under the command of the Duke Lin Kesong, the commander-in-chief of the western line, and four have been destroyed in the raid on the Wick Neck at the Battle of Morenburg. In the hands of my three brothers,
As for the so-called 13th Mamunuk Knights Corps, they are basically recruits who have just been recruited. They have not received enough training at all, morale is low, many people are even war-weary, and logistical supplies are insufficient, even the most basic. None of the weapons are fully equipped,
Fubailou knows very well that in foreign countries, he is a prince, but in China, he is a joke.
Although most people said it was very cryptic, the faint contempt of the ministers’ lips was so obvious. They were stuck in their hearts like needles. If it weren’t for the news of his mother’s passing, he would never want to return to this for the rest of his life. Dirty and ugly place
In the words of the undersecretary of the Military Affairs Department who was in charge of forming this army at the time, the reason why this army corps exists is because the adults collected money and collected it easily.
As a result, I forgot the limit on the number of knights. After the money was collected, it was found that all the knights were made up of 20%, and then people were inserted in, and even the most basic combat effectiveness could not be achieved.
Prince Fabalou, who just finished his studies, returned to China. According to the past, the princes of Salander can automatically be promoted to the commander of the Mamunuk Army during the war.
So all the big guys who collect money together, they formed the 13th Mamunuk Knights.
"Your Highness, we should go out"
A thinner figure climbed up the mountain road. His body was taller than the Fawby House, but thinner. It looked like a bamboo pole and a clothes rack.
The evening breeze blew the thin corners of his body. There was no gorgeous noble clothing on his body. The empty sleeve on the left was blown up, but he didn't feel it at all.
His left hand was chopped off during the fiercest battle with the Normans in Kyoto. During those hours, he remained on the defensive line, removing any Salander he could see. Send on the battlefield. Including the clerk and the groom, they all went into battle, and even his left ear was cut off by the Normandy Archer's sharp arrow.
He is the deputy to Prince Fabalou this time ▲The only military officer in the Rand Kingdom without the status of a Mamunuk knight, Baron Berntik,
Because the Faba Tower is a commander who does not have the status of a Mamunok knight, this can make the entire military department difficult, not only because of his prince status, but also because he graduated from the sixth highest military A university, Paravin College, a certificate of an honorary student graduated from the command department is enough to make all the ridicules dig into the stomach,
Finally, the Ministry of Military Affairs picked up and selected an infantry squadron leader who also did not have the identity of a Mamu knight from the combat troops, temporarily promoted to a general, and then called the knight prince as his deputy
"Tsk tsk, handicapped with waste, it’s a perfect match
These are the original words of the then Secretary of Military Affairs, Duke Tariente, when he reviewed the Burntik archives
"Has the Third Prince's Fourth Legion out?".
Fubailou stood up from the slope, stared at the setting sun in the distance, and asked without turning his head. Compared with those bragging generals, this adjutant from the grassroots seemed more satisfied with him
"His Royal Highness, 7ooo people, had already set off from Barocco Camp 30 minutes ago." Burntik looked at him curiously, for this somewhat mixed prince, a low-level officer like him , Most of them are hearsay,
For the powerful kingdom with more than 100,000 elite knights across the sea, the Salanders have always maintained a respect in their hearts, although most of them have never been in contact with the country of Swadian,
Because the region is in the south, the Salanders know that they can take root on the southern island so steadily because there is a country called Swadian,
Hold the same powerful southern overlord Nord, otherwise, the Salanders might have been conquered by the Nords hundreds of years ago. In fact, the Salanders have not always taken the necessary Defensive strategy,
More than 300 years ago, a young sultan named elder brother, once ambitiously carrying a 40,000 Salander army across the conquest, thought that he would be able to play a big 6 in the chaotic Ikadiva. Territory,
Who knows that not long after landing, I was beaten up by the Rude and ran back,
Since then, Salander has been determined to be in the larger and broader area of Howling, and has no place to stand at all. The Kingdom’s focus should be placed on the vastness of the south
"If this is the case, let the legion assemble." Fawbailou waved his hand to the blunt adjutant. "Yes, your majesty." Adjutant Burntick saluted him and hurried down the mountain.
"Slap" a huge impact, a huge stone bullet one meter wide, drew a shocking arc from the air, smashing a half villa on a street corner to pieces, revealing the scattered inside The wreckage of furniture, the huge smoke and dust that rose up almost fascinated people’s eyes, and several Salander soldiers passed by these collapsed houses covered in dust
Everyone who haunts here is directly serving the war. There are no casual personnel. Under the intensive bombardment of the trebuchets of the Dyrens battleship near the coast, this small city is only more than 4oo meters long and wide. , Has been crushed by hundreds of rolling stones, and large tracts have been smashed into half ruins. In the smoke and dust that rises from time to time, there is a pale and weak decadence.
"Send each team to rotate and rest"
Dylans Kelly looked at the city that he had visited indifferently, pulled out a sharp saber from her waist, and stood on the flagship of the Dylans fleet, "Xinhou",
Her eyes are as bright as a crescent moon, and countless Dylans heavy infantry in heavy black armor are tidying up the weapons and shields in their hands and tightening the loose armor.
This morning, the Salander army finally arrived as scheduled. 10,000 infantrymen and nearly 3,000 Mamunuk knights started a face-to-face battle with the Dylans army, which was holding the port.
As the Fatty expected, the movements of Dylans’ army quickly attracted the attention of Sarand Kyoto, but the toughness of Dylans’s army made the Salanders, who are mainly light infantry, feel A little hard to swallow
Although there are only about 5,000 Dylans troops on the shore this time, they are genuine heavy-duty infantry, spears and big shields, an army that has been learned from the regular Vikya army, and Saa who is good at maneuverability. Rand's light infantry can't compete with the Dyrons heavy infantry armed to the teeth. The thin spear cannot penetrate the armor and shield of the heavy infantry. Instead, the Dyrons infantry, who is not dominant in number, advances all the way.
The 4o Dylans battleships full of trebuchets lined up like a giant box on the bake outside the port of Birku. More than two hundred large-scale speculations were at the same time against the already dilapidated Birku. Hong Kong Movement Attack,
The shirtless upper body of the "pull" winch hand was covered with sweat, and the winch in his hand made a creaking tight sound. The heavy stone bullet was pushed hard by the two soldiers, and there were dull squeezing in the throwing basket. Squeeze,
With the shout of the captain, the cable of the trebuchet was chopped off by the winch hand,
"Bump" with a whistling sound that pierced the air, the huge head bullet was under everyone’s attention, like a black meteor shot into the sky, rushing towards the pure blue sky
After crossing a beautiful and weird arc, I lost my center of gravity and plummeted, and then smashed into the crowded Salander infantry queue, "Ah" the screams of screams came and went one after another. Hundreds of people are always hit by a wave of stone bullets, and flesh and blood corpses can be seen everywhere
"Damn" a young Salander recruit sat on the ground with fright. The hellish sight in front of him made his face pale. Several of his companions were hit by the falling stone bullets, mixed with bones. The minced meat splashed on his face,
Bright red human blood and residual limbs, on the hillside where the stone bullets rolled, laid a shocking bloodstain about ten meters long, and the hot blood and minced meat hung on the vomited stone like this, gray The stone bullet has completely turned into **** crimson at this moment
"Damn" an veteran with scars on his face, also spit on the ground with an ugly face. This method of death is too awkward, but the enemy has the advantage of a warship trebuchet, and it shoots fiercely. Completely ignoring any line of defense
Although the accuracy of the long-range projectile is not accurate enough, it is enough to make many Salander recruits temporarily recruited, causing tremendous psychological pressure, and some have been scared before the Dylans on the opposite side rushed over. Shaking all over, even the stabbing gun in his hand could not be held securely. The veterans behind had to use sharp blades and spears to drive them back, piled up to prevent the Vijaya army from advancing into the fleshy city wall.
Behind this piece of rubble full of falling rocks~IndoMTL.com~, there are three small hills with an elevation of less than 100 meters, which just form the shape of a product, which constitutes the most powerful support point to hinder the advance of Dylans' army.
On these hillsides, 5,000 Salander light infantrymen are struggling to support two obliquely long lines of defense, strangling with the Dylans heavy infantry who rushed up from the opposite side,
"Kill"
In the battle that lasted for several hours, the offensive of the Dylans army, like the usual brave style of the Dylans, slapped on these small hills like a tide,
The corpses of the Salander soldiers lay all over the slope. Most of them were shot from the front and fell down. Their thin leather armor was pierced by the Dyrens' heavy spears into blood holes, bright red blood. Dyeing the ground under their feet into a muddy red, the rolling rocks in the sky have been ketone at this moment
Within a few hours, the three hills held by Dylans’ heavy infantry were as stable as Mount Tarzan. Lord Salander’s flag, lonely and helplessly, was floating in the wind.
The golden sunset shines on this sloping land, as if the sky is dyeing the ground red.
