Main text 1663 Empire vs Empire (Part 2)

The mountains in the distance are winding away, and the earth is enveloped in the rising morning light.

In the land of late autumn, the beautiful colors of summer have faded under the late July sky. The peaks in the distance are covered with everlasting white snow, the plains have been covered with thick fog, and the slightly damp woods are silent.

Deep in the forest, a lonely bird made a gentle and timid cry. There was a vague rolling sound trembling in the light mist. The earth in late autumn was full of withered yellow. In the distance of the forest, there was a faint sound. The black line gradually emerged,

The ground also made a dull sound at this moment, like a groan under an overwhelming load.

"What is that? On a sentry tower on the left wing of Gaul, a sleepy sentry pointed to the black line in the distance

"It seems..." Another sentry got up dissatisfied, stretched out half of his body and looked in the direction of his companion's finger, and suddenly his body shivered.

"It's the cavalry, the cavalry of the Northwest Rebel Army!" The sentry looked pale and grabbed the companion next to him, shouting hysterically, "Quick, ring the bell, the enemy's cavalry is coming!"

"The cavalry of the northwest rebels! Oh my god!" The sentry who discovered the situation shivered in fear. In the several battles between the empire and the northwest rebels, the sharpness of the rebel cavalry has made many who have not really fought with the northwest rebels. The Gallic local army who had fought against them was frightened.

In the Battle of the Sona River, in order to cover up his mistakes and command errors, Commander-in-Chief Stanley Spencer summed up the battle as follows: "The northwest rebels used high-impact cavalry groups in the riverine areas that were unfavorable to them. , cut off his own army in one fell swoop, and the Gallic Fourth Army was in charge of the rear. Due to the poor command of the army commander, it was broken through by a group of northwest rebel cavalry, causing the entire army to be defeated."

The commander of the Fourth Army is already dead anyway, and dead people cannot speak, in this report. In addition to belittling the disadvantages of the Imperial Fourth Army in combat, Stanley Spencer also greatly exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the northwest rebel cavalry.

Special mention was made of the traitor Murphy O'Brien who used the same number of Murphy's Dragon Armor cavalry to duel with the northwest rebel cavalry. The result was beyond everyone's expectations. , was actually annihilated by an equal number of northwest rebel cavalry.

The report was sent to the Gallic Military Ministry, and the entire Gallic military community was shocked.

Murphy's Dragon Armor, one of the three major heavy cavalry in the empire, was completely defeated by the northwest rebel cavalry. This definitely stimulated the proud nerves of the Gauls. The name of the Vecian Falcon, the sharpest claw of the northwest butcher, spread in the mainland of Gaul.

For most Gauls, the cavalry of the Northwest Rebels is more terrifying than the Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry, but they don't know that even the Falcon's Claws have different types of cavalry under their command. Ordinary cavalry. Central Army cavalry, Guards cavalry, prairie cavalry, and this time. They will face the prairie cavalry known as the Nightmare!

"Cang! Cang!"

The urgent warning bells sounded from the Gallic army guard tower

From the height of the guard tower, one can see, in the vague floating white mist, groups of light cavalry wearing rounded leather hats and bright silver armor. Like a wave covering the earth, swarming towards the camp,

Wu Mu, the general of Dongting, was riding on a sturdy prairie war horse, wearing the wolf head and shoulder armor of a prairie commander. Her hair was tied up in a bun unique to prairie people on her temples. The horse's hooves suddenly stopped in front of her, raising up a cloud of smoke and dust from the ground.

Gloomy eyes swept over the camp in the distance, which was as cold as a rock. Because some affairs within the clan needed to be resolved, Ruitang Tingna used this as an excuse to rarely choose to stay in the country. Instead, she assigned the remaining famous general of Dongting to Serve as the commander of the 30,000 prairie cavalry sent this time,

No one has ever been able to change the decision made by Wikiia Falcon, and Ruitang Tingna was also well aware of this troop deployment. Her power was expanding too fast, and she had obviously attracted the attention of Fatty Fatty. Don’t look at Fatty Fatty. Always with a lewd expression, he wiped out the Eastern Army of Dongting in one fell swoop and forced the Western Army to be willing to punish themselves. Under the pressure of the spokesperson of Changshengtian, Prairie Xiting did not even dare to show any resistance.

In the face of a crisis that threatens the interests of the empire, the cold and ruthless nature of this imperial god has never changed!

"I, the Iron Cavalry of Dongting, show your strength again! Prepare to cover! Ten breaths of continuous fire." Wu Mu slowly raised his hand. Behind him were two flag bearers, one holding the golden hunting rifle of the Falcon Army. The Eagle War Flag, while another person held the prairie people's Bright Moon and Three Stars flag. The two large flags made a rustling sound in the howling wind.

Behind them, 30,000 Dongting cavalry advanced in a linear pattern. As the queue jumped up and down, they rushed towards a relatively high mound. They took off their prairie compound bows and 30,000 prairie compound bows. At the same time, face the front at a 45-degree angle and lift it neatly,

"shoot!"

A trace of cruelty flashed through Wu Mu's eyes, and his powerful voice was like an eagle's cry from the prairie. The group of cavalry moving forward quickly, on the top of the mound, seemed to hit an invisible stone, and the queue in the front row suddenly Spreading out to both wings, the entire row of arrow clusters also broke away at the same time. The bow string shot into the sky with a violent whistling sound, and the vibration of the bow string was like a heavy rain hitting the dry earth. Even from a hundred meters away, the Gauls' sentries could hear it clearly. , but to the ears of the Gauls, it was the sound of death waving his sickle.

"Attention! Arrow attack"

The sentry shouted with all his strength. Behind him, the soldiers who had just woken up from the siren were running out of the military camp in thin clothes. The sound of kindness coming from the distance suddenly made many people He raised his head in confusion,

"This is?"

Azbil, the commander of the 27th Infantry Regiment of Gaul, was also among them. He held his head high, and under his eyes he saw only a waterfall of metallic luster, rising rapidly in the rising morning light, an illusion of brilliance. , which made everyone's pupils shrink slightly, it was a kind of dazzling beauty! It was the light caused by the rapid climb of arrow clusters, which drew a beautiful arc and suddenly downwards,

"Oh my god"

The Gauls, who were still watching and were still a little intoxicated just now, saw the cold light flying from the direction of the black line in the distance, and then they reacted and fled in all directions in fear, but the dense clusters of arrows covered the sky and the earth with an overwhelming range. come down

"Ah" the Gallic soldiers who were caught off guard were tumbling under the hail of arrows,

"Damn, what's going on!" Azbil, the infantry leader, hid under the shield provided by the guard, and the falling arrows hit the shield. But others were not so lucky. The nearby soldiers were covered in an astonishing hail of arrows.

The human body was directly penetrated by arrows falling from a high place. Most of the soldiers of the Gallic Army were light infantry. White cold lights were seen in the crowd, making a sound like the flesh of a melon being broken, with the sharpness of Mitsubishi arrows. The arrow passed from the body of the soldier, leaving bloody blood marks on the rear, and then shot heavily into the ground, like a string of blood gourds inserted into the ground. The corpse covered in blood was smashed straight onto the dry hard ground below. The bright red human blood instantly dyed the ground red and penetrated into the hard soil on the surface.

"Help!" A weak cry came from the tent in the military camp. The cloth tent in the military camp was also shot through by falling arrows. Many of the soldiers inside were shot to death by falling arrows before they could figure out the situation. ,

The screams suddenly stopped before the third rain of arrows, and the top of the tent was riddled with holes from falling arrows. The warm July sunshine shines in, and the red liquid flows out from the edge of the tent like a stream. You can imagine the miserable situation inside.

"Get out of the way. Save people! Save people quickly!"

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the clusters of life-killing arrows stopped.

Azbil, whose eyes were bloodshot, pushed away the guards' obstruction and saw the tragic scene in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment. Arrow clusters fell densely and filled every corner of the camp, and corpses lay everywhere. Every soldier's corpse was covered with arrow clusters, and the tail feathers of the white arrow clusters trembled slightly in the blowing morning wind. There were almost no living people around. In the camp of more than 5,000 people, there was almost no sound. The wind blew and brought with it a sound of grace, rising to the sky and earth like a cry.

"Why is this happening!" Azbil's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground as if his knees were weak. As the most prominent unit on the left wing, the 27th Gallic Infantry Regiment was the first to be baptized by the northwest rebels on the opposite side. The war The cruelty is like a sharp sword, directly shattering Azbil's confidence and thoughts in a bloody way,

"Urgent report!"

Several Gallic cavalry wearing dark iron-colored armor galloped into the left wing base camp.

Gleida, the person in charge of the left wing who received the attack report, did not change her face at all, but a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, is this the bottom line!

"Come here, order the 11th, 17th, and 19th Infantry Regiments to advance five miles from the current position." Putting down her hand to report, Gleda glanced at the map on the table and used a pen to mark the locations where she was attacked. A circle was drawn in the place,

saint cilien's plain

Less than 10 miles away from the northwest rebel defense line

He used the local army infantry regiment to keep testing forward, just to figure out where the bottom line of the northwest rebels was. This time on the left wing, Hasen Rimbaud invested most of the local army, with a total strength of more than 160,000, almost the entire Half of the troops in the battle,

The person in charge is Baron Gleida, who is known as the "Icy Rock" in the Gallic military circles. This Imperial Baron is only thirty-five years old and has only risen to prominence in the war with the Central Asians in recent years. A rising star in the military, during the Battle of Huiya Mountain 2 years ago, Baron Gleda, who was only responsible for leading local army reinforcements, unexpectedly used The 20,000-strong local army held back reinforcements from the feared Qianyang Heavy Cavalry under the famous Central Asian general Long Yang, allowing the Murphy Dragon Armored Cavalry to defeat Long Yang's 80,000-strong infantry formation head-on. It created an excellent opportunity. It was the rare time in more than ten years that the Gallic Empire defeated the famous general Long Yang of the Central Asian Empire.

If there hadn't been some accidents that caused the enemy general Long Yang to escape, it would have been a great victory in the history of the empire's war against Central Asia. However, in that battle, the local army suffered heavy losses, but the 4,000 Central and Asian soldiers The destruction of Yang Chongqi was enough to make Baron Gleida become a dazzling new star in the imperial world. The limelight even overshadowed the Murphy dragon armored cavalry who almost captured Long Yang.

Commander Gleida did not take the loss of five thousand men seriously. If you want to gain something, you must make sacrifices. It was he who proposed to Hassan Rimbaud, the general in charge, to strategically use local advantages to quickly urgently need strength. Use the entire southern region of Rusty as bait to continuously attract the main force of the northwest rebels to gather, looking for fighter planes, and defeat them with a thunderous force. As long as the main force of the northwest rebels is annihilated,

Bringing the southwest and northwest back into the empire's hands was as simple as a wave of the army. Hassan Rimbaud admired this plan very much and handed him the center left wing of the plan.

This attack was part of the plan, part of Glaida's cold and ruthless plan. valued. It was the counterattack power that the opponent was able to show in this attack. I really didn’t expect that the opponent would attack so violently. An infantry regiment of 5,000 people was actually killed by the opponent in one blow. More than 3,000 people and more than 1,000 people were killed. Wounded, except for the infantry regiment commander, almost all the middle and lower-level officers of the infantry regiment died.

The other party just showed it. Like a random blow,

One of his infantry regiments was finished. Even though Gleda didn't take the local army seriously, she still felt a little scared. The cavalry of the northwest rebels was indeed as powerful as the rumors said. She wanted to repeat the same trick and swallow up Hassen. The cavalry of the northwest rebels, whom Mr. Rimbaud is most worried about, may have some difficulties.

Opposite the left wing are eight Falcon Army infantry flag regiments led by Hu Keqili. Among them, three infantry flag regiments belonging to the Central Army, one infantry flag regiment from the Guards Army, and the other four local infantry flag regiments were all in March. In order to strengthen the defense force against the left wing of the northwest infantry recruited in the northwest region, Fatty gave Hu Keqili 4,000 Sava longbows under his direct command. After all, it was only in terms of combat power. Hu Keqili is the lowest here,

The four flag regiments from the Northwest Territory Army are the biggest weakness of the left wing.

These local armies have not experienced any major battles. Most of the soldiers were new recruits who had just completed their training. Their defense was acceptable but their offense was insufficient. This was why Hu Keqili was uncharacteristically abandoning his habitual attack posture and rarely used defense.

The famous imperial general felt helpless in his heart. In the duel between the two giants, the first punch would probably hit his own defense zone. "Your Majesty, a report from the Navy Department!"

Governor Duo Zai walked into the fat man's room. The fat man's eyes were focused on the map on the wall. Through the window next to him, he could see the clear autumn sky. The vast fields were silent. The hot summer had quietly left. The fields after busy farming. leaving behind bare wheat stubble,

"Oh, what did Dostelenko say?" The fat man raised his head from the map, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked a little tired.

"The navy has been fully mobilized. All warships and ships with non-combat missions, as well as commercial ships, have all been transferred to the transportation line. Lord Statunko's Southern Army and Lord Crolisat's Northwest Army are on the way to transportation. They should Will arrive in Xinhai City in fifteen days! "

Duozhe raised the report in his hand and responded, "There is no way. The situation on the front line is tense. Generals Hu Keqili and Salon are respectively on the left and right wings of defense. Currently, the only one who can help with various arrangements beside Fatty is the former Dorok Speaker of the General Assembly

"Fifteen days! We can wait, but the enemy won't wait either!" When the fat man heard this report, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and continued to ask, "When can the Thor of the Navy be delivered?"

"The report says that it has been shipped, and three hundred Thors disassembled from the battleships, as well as the required gunners and shells, are moving along the river across the southwest!"

Duo Ze replied, looking at the fat man solemnly, hesitating for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, throw all the thunder gods into the left wing at once. What if the opponent chooses another attack direction?"

"There is no way, we don't have enough troops, we can only take a gamble!"

The fat man patted the map with his hand, a wry smile appeared on his lips, and said, "This war has already gathered a total of 500,000 troops from both sides. With a complete disadvantage, we can only arrange according to the habits of the Gauls. The wing is an urban area. Even if the opponent attacks hard, it will be difficult to open up the situation in a short time. The center line is located behind the two wings. If you launch early, there is a possibility of being flanked by the enemy's flanks. The opposing commander is not a fool and will not choose such a dangerous route when he has superior troops. Only the left wing is the biggest breakthrough point, regardless of whether we are the enemy or not. Although the people involved are not the main force, once it breaks out, it will be an endless strangulation! "

"Now we can only hope that the other party will act according to our ideas!"

The fat man's voice stopped and he looked out the window. This was a small manor outside the town. Because it was not a grain-producing area, it avoided the catastrophe. The faint fragrance of wild flowers was mixed with the blowing wind. , fences, fields, trees, mountains, rivers and wilderness , what appears in front of people is a scene that is completely inconsistent with what it was before the war. There are only some yellowish dots among the summer colors, telling you that autumn has arrived, the sky is clear and pleasant, and there are a few white clouds. Floating leisurely,

"In the name of war, this land has witnessed too many rises and falls, but I don't know if there will be a Falcon Empire among them!" The fat man felt a faint touch in his heart, sighed deeply, and said, "Duo Zai, Although I don’t want to beat myself up, catching With limited troops and the increasing strength of the opponent, this decisive battle between empires is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will be shattered. I imagined that this battle would come, but I did not expect it to be so hasty! There is no way to prevent it, and there is no way to retreat!

Duo Ze was stunned for a moment with a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that the Vecchia Falcon, known as the invincible in every battle, would sometimes waver.

It seems that the pressure of this war has been difficult to bear on the shoulders of Vecilia Falcon.

After all, he is still just a 25-year-old young man, Duoche said to himself in his heart. At this age, it is the time to enjoy youth and live an exciting life, and on the shoulders of this somewhat haggard young man, there is Ika The burden of Diva's revival is a showdown between the fates of two empires!
