Main text 1824 The Tragedy of a Famous General (V)

There was a strange atmosphere in the headquarters of the city of Daniel. A Gallic general looked around a coffin and carefully expressed his opinion: "These coffins are used to contain those 120 spies!" His words Before it fell, Terensk next to him said disdainfully, "No. Yes, you and I both know that those people are not spies of the Falcon Army at all. How could the Vekia Falcon arrange the coffin?" The robbed general's face turned red with frustration, and he raised his head and asked Terensk angrily. "What do you mean? Are you using these coffins to threaten us?"

"Who knows, how many people can guess the thoughts of the Falcon of Vekia! Or there may be, such as the general leader!" Terensk shrugged his shoulders, and glanced ahead, Algernon Katya His right hand was stroking the top of a black coffin very carefully.

The rough top surface of the top plate was not smooth, but rather frizzy and prickly. It was a hastily made thing without careful sanding, but the black paint on it was very shiny, and a hint of black shone on his face. Algernonkaja's eyes were burning. And it was full of bloodshot eyes. He took a deep breath and suddenly opened a coffin board with his hands.

"As expected, it's really empty inside."

Algernon Katya's pupils narrowed unnaturally,

In his opinion, these coffins were not empty, but filled with the mockery of the Vecia Falcon for the farce he directed and performed. There were a hundred and twenty coffins like this, lined up in front of the commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Gallic Empire.

"Damn it, you still can't see it!" Algernonkaja clenched her fingers into fists and said in a heavy nasal voice with an ugly face. "This is to warn us that if we want to leave Daniel, we must lie in these coffins." Prepare! This is an invitation to fight! "

"Invitation to battle!"

The expressions on the faces of the generals suddenly stiffened, and all the discussions suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even a bold guy like Terensk, who had been saying that the Vekia Falcon was nothing great all day, had beads of sweat on his forehead. ,

"There are rumors that the God of War, Vecia Falcon, has never been defeated in a battle since the day he raised his army. Moreover, he has also set a shocking record of defeating an enemy army of 300,000 with 100,000 troops and directly overthrowing a country." General Rice, commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment Kurt whispered. As one of the most elite commanders of the Gallic Northern Army, his opinions were quite strong. He pointed out that on the battlefield, even if the Vecchia Falcon was not commanded personally, it would put pressure on the opponent and directly leading to a decline in the enemy's combat capability,

"Based on the strong city of Daniel. Our army cannot feel the pressure of field confrontation. Once we leave the city to rely on, the situation will be difficult to say." Lescott's serious voice paused. "So our army must not Fight with it!

"Yes, our army must not choose to fight with them in the field!" Terensk nodded in agreement. Although he said that no one is afraid of 100,000 people versus 100,000 people, the contrast is obvious. The opponent's morale was so high that they broke into the Dani Plateau with overwhelming momentum. They fought and won continuously all the way. The morale of the army had reached its peak. However, our troops were first frustrated at Kozi and then defeated at Granburg. In order to lure the enemy deep into the territory, they Plan and retreat again and again. The low morale of the military has reached the bottom line. A field battle between the two armies is obviously not good for our army. We can choose not to agree! Can the Vekia Falcon still force us to fight outside the city? "Trensk's voice was extremely firm.

"That's what I said"

A middle-aged general looked hesitant. He raised his head and glanced at the uncertain-looking commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Algernon Katya, and said slowly, "But if it was a letter of invitation from the Vekia Falcon, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this." Something that can be easily dismissed! I don’t know why, but I always have a bad feeling.”

"Bad feeling?"

"Yes, just before the execution, I saw Veccia Falcon attending the appointment in person. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt that all the initiatives seemed to be out of our control when that person appeared! Don't forget, Bringing the enemy into his own layout and forcing him to move on is the usual style of the Vecchia Falcon! How could he remain indifferent now that he has seen through our plan? It’s like preparing for us in advance”

"What...what, please don't say that, okay? It's really disturbing! Don't say nonsense without evidence!" The generals felt chills on their backs, and their eyes fell on the dark coffin in panic. Even Algernon Katya's face looked unnatural. His mind flashed to the Falcon Army camp that quietly leaned toward the river last night. Could it be that the Vekia Falcons really had some plan to force him out of the city to fight with them? A way to start an unfavorable field battle?

"Sir... there is something abnormal on the river!" An attendant stumbled over and said with a horrified expression.

His words made Algernonkaja look shocked. River, does the Falcon Army really want to repeat its old tricks and use the riverway to attack the solid defense of Daniel City? With full confusion, Algernonkaja Climbing the tall city wall of Daniel, far away The scene on the riverbank suddenly made his face look ugly. "Pop!" His hand broke a wooden plank on the battlement due to excessive force. The generals who went up to the city wall with him were already stunned. Looking at the river in the distance with bulging eyes,

They never expected to see such a "spectacular" sight, but the more spectacular it was, the more the generals' hearts sank into the cold. No wonder, no wonder the Vekia Falcon was so sure of forcing them to start a field battle outside the city. Just confident!

I saw countless rafts like a long dragon with no head or tail, spreading down from the upper reaches of the river. The rafts were made of felled and trimmed logs. The river had become smooth after the last flood discharge, and the rafts were orderly and not clumps. Going down the river, the Falcon Army had already set up huge barriers on both sides of the river.

The soldiers stood by the river, holding long hooks in their hands to frame the rafts flowing past to the shore. The rafts were loaded with grain, dried meat, and even wine. The number of rafts was uncountable and they were unloaded from them. The supplies continued until the setting sun illuminated the river. Throughout the afternoon, the rafts continued to flow, and there seemed to be no end in sight. The supplies were piled up on the river into hills. The amount was too large to be counted. It is conservatively estimated to be enough to support a hundred thousand Falcon Army. Just for one month! Horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies came and went in an endless stream.

"asshole!"

Algernonkaja smashed his fist on the battlement, his face turned earth-colored, and blood flowed from between his fingers.

The direction of the raft came from the upper reaches of the river, which showed that the Falcon Army's supplies had long been transferred to the upper reaches. He originally predicted that even if the Falcon Army escaped the Kezi trap, it would suffer at least some losses in supplies. One hundred thousand hunters would The supply of the Eagle Army is not a small number. The opponent's logistics line must be under great pressure and must also be very nervous. Coupled with the muddy roads caused by Kezi, the supplies in the rear should still be struggling in the mud, supplying the front line intermittently. Even if the Falcon Army's situation is a little better than their own, it is not much better, but the situation in front of them is telling he. That's just my own stupid wishful thinking,

The frustration of being fooled again made his spirit tend to collapse.

Not only were the supplies of the Falcon Army not cut off, but they were incredibly abundant. How much food was this! There is inventory in at least one province. I really don’t know how the Vekia Falcon transported so much supplies upstream to obtain it. It's really convenient. You can directly use the river to transport supplies down the river. This food should be enough to support a hundred thousand Falcon Army to be trapped in Dany City for a month. This was a premeditated arrangement. That cruel bastard didn't do anything at once. Mercy pierced through his biggest weakness and destroyed all his fantasies.

There are nearly 300,000 troops and civilians in the city of Daniel, according to the report submitted by the logistics officer. There is a serious shortage of food in the city. Even if the ration is one meal a day, it cannot last more than seven days. Choosing to break out after three days is already the limit of the army's ability to maintain supply. Watching the Falcon Army pile up mountains of food on the river. Supplies, Algernonkaja's body shook. He felt a trace of powerless decadence, his five fingers dug deeply into his palm, and he felt a heartbreaking pain.

Too poisonous!

Such a large-scale shipment of supplies arrived. It simply blocked his strategy of gradually reducing military and civilian supplies to delay time, because when he saw so many supplies arriving from the enemy outside the city, as long as such an order was issued, everyone in the city would know about the food in the city. There was a shortage, and the Falcon Army outside the city had too much food to eat. Under the siege of the army, the panic in people's hearts was the most terrifying. It was like a vine that could not be trimmed. As long as there were rumors in the city, everything that had been there before would be destroyed. will be quickly overthrown,

Because the whole of Danieli will think that as long as they are willing, the Falcon Army can turn the entirety of Danieli into a dead city within a month without spending a single soldier. Once the 200,000 civilians start to riot, it will be more... Floods are even more terrifying, and unrest will soon spread throughout the city like fire spots in the weeds. , the army is exhausted from everywhere with brutal suppression, and panic will eventually spread to the army. Unless the army cannibalizes people, it will never be able to last for a month. It has become urgent to launch a breakout in the shortest time, and start a battle with the Falcon Army. It was inevitable, and before I knew it, I had been forced into a corner!

"Everyone, go back and prepare. Send someone to tell the Falcon Army outside the city that for the glory of the warriors, our army will start an upright battle with them in three days!" Algernonkaja let out a long sigh, and the gloomy sky above his head Just like a sign before a heavy rainstorm, the wild wind blew up pieces of sand from the plateau wasteland. The empty coffin flashed in his mind. In three days, everything will be over. He didn't know that one of them would be Your own?

In the early morning of September 7, the last day of the Battle of Daniel

The sky was dark, the wind blew through the grass, rolling the broken grass to the sky, and murderous intent rushed into the sky. Under the city of Daniel, 110,000 Gallic Northern troops left the fortified city of Daniel, and deployed a huge array outside the city, equipped with fine equipment. The good infantrymen of the Northern Gallic Army were still cautious. They lined up on the somewhat muddy ground. Although it was called a field battle, Algernonkaja still played a little trick. He incorporated the archers of the Gallic army into the infantry group and spread them out based on the city wall to form a formation that could be far or near. Attack cluster, crowded,

"Everything is for Gaul!" Algernonkaja stood on the top of the city of Dani, looking at the troops spread out on the front line of the city with complicated eyes. This was a "death battle". Either break through or die in the city. Under the city of Daniel, there are forests of spears and seas of battle flags, which are enough to arouse anyone's ambition. In addition to the infantry group, about 10,000 Gallic light cavalry also came out of the city.

These Gallic cavalry wore leather helmets and light cavalry mail. The weapons in their hands were three-meter long spears. Their horse hooves kicked up broken soil and smoke, and ran towards the side of the military formation, like the left side of a huge military formation. A sharp knife on the side. Viscount Atua, who leads these light cavalry, is a middle-aged red-haired general with a red velvet helmet on his head. He is at the front of the queue. He looks forward with firm eyes. To his side, hundreds of people The infantry squadrons were spread out and lined up. The square array is as neat as a ruler to measure.

Could this be the final battle for the Glorious North Army? The generals entered the battlefield with various emotions. The enthusiasm of the soldiers made them inspired by the majestic military appearance in front of them. Under the city of Daniel, the flags of the Northern Army of Gaul surged like waves.

"Woo, woo!" The men and horses were just like black dust clouds. The generals of each army are making final mobilization for combat

"Use all your strength, don't forget, you are the glorious Northern Army of the Empire!" Terensk wore a red cloak, holding a legion flag in one hand, and ran in front of his troops on a horse. , while raising the command sword in his hand "Use the weapons in your hands to defeat the enemy on the opposite side. Just like you defeated the Slavs, defeat them and welcome victory."

"As long as we get closer, the enemy's shooters will be shaken! That's our chance." Lescott of the 8th Infantry Regiment shouted hysterically to his men who formed a tortoise-shell formation. "Using courage and glory as shields, for Gaul, For the honor of the military, move forward with all your strength!"

Opposite the Gallic army, the fat man slowly raised his hand. At the same time, the 100,000 falcon army also sounded a solemn voice,

Snap. The huge siege shield was set up, like a long black wall erected on the ridge in the distance. The steel shield shone in the sun. Countless spears protruded from the gaps between the shields. The sharp one-foot-long blades were thrust out. Under the gloomy light, there is also a chilling murderous aura. Form the most resistant first echelon

Five meters behind are the second level of tens of thousands of Imperial heavy infantry with spears made of fine steel fingers. These Imperial heavy infantry wear eagle-wing-shaped helmets and are heavily armored. Even their faces are half metal. In addition to the horizontal spears originally used for fighting, the weapons in hand also include various heavy flails, maces, and stab hammers used in close combat. The third echelon is the wing array composed of the Imperial Central Army's blocking crossbowmen. The crossbowmen appear There are two rows of half-crouching and standing ones, their bright eyes staring like arrowheads at the noisy Gauls in the distance.

One hundred thousand falcon troops, green woods, yellow deserts, and brown fields. Golden fields and pastures. Now, everything is covered by black military formations, and it seems that there is only one color left in the world, and that is black

"Want to flank?"

The fat man put down the lookout glass in his hand, seemingly not caring at all about the countless military flags in front of him that almost covered the front of Dany City. On his left hand, the Thor sighters were nervously measuring data, and everyone seemed very excited. In fact, the relevant data on the bombardment distance from the opposite side has been measured long ago, but in order to ensure that there is no deviation, the observer is still making multiple calculations meticulously. The Army Thor of more than one hundred gates raised his head high. Facing the dark muzzle of the 110,000-strong Gallic Northern Army, which had become trapped animals and fighting to the death, the pressure on Fatty was not easy. The Northern Army's breakout was an inevitable choice, but he could choose when to break through. thing,

"Algernon Katya, don't let me down!"

The fat man licked his dry lips caused by the heat in his body, and looked at the situation in Daniel in front through the lookout glass in his hand. The 110,000-strong Gallic Northern Army spread out under the city of Daniel, and the shining spears were like a line of spears. The huge light cut through the earth, revealing a tragic feeling like the setting sun.

"Let's get started!"

Algernonkaja decided to attack first because of the natural disadvantageous barrier of the swamp. Once the Falcon Army got the upper hand, the Falcon Army's crossbowmen alone would be enough to massacre the troops arrayed in the city. And this time The main direction of the battle is to break out to the east, so the center of gravity of the military formation is also arranged on the right side of the light cavalry assault force. In addition to the cavalry, there are 30,000 light infantry capable of launching an assault. Using the extremely fast light cavalry as the blade and the light infantry group as the embedded heavy hammer, they tear a gap in the blocking direction of the Falcon formation. Then the army embeds in, dragging the Falcon Army, which is good at long-range, into the quagmire of melee. Although it may face heavy losses, the possibility of a breakout will also be greatly increased.

The messengers came galloping all the way from the rear, shouting: "Cavalry attacks, cavalry attacks!" The wind howled and grass and leaves flew in the fields. Tens of thousands of Gallic light cavalry held their spears tightly and breathed violently. His face looked serious and cold. Because they know how heavy and terrifying the task before them is. Everyone's heart is determined to die!

"The whole army attacks!"

Viscount Atua, wearing a red velvet helmet, raised the spear in his hand, and countless light cavalry swarmed out like arrows from a bowstring, like a flood breaking a bank.

The rumble of horse hooves was like the rolling thunder of war. The light cavalry all lowered their spears, just like a huge stone rolling down the mountain.

They headed towards the Falcon Army's flank. The speed became faster and faster, running turned into sprinting again, and then moved forward at a terrifying speed, with astonishing momentum, like a flash flood and tsunami that could not be stopped!

This is the first time since the war between the Gallic Empire and the Falcon Empire that cavalry has attacked the infantry of the Falcon Empire!

Hundreds of Thor cannons placed at the highest point of the ridge started to roar fiercely. Three squadrons had more than one hundred large-caliber Army Thor cannons in total, and the whole row fired fierce flames. The fiery red flames swept through the sky with burning Thor bullets, making a sharp sound, and then fell beside the charging cavalry like scattered flowers.

"Boom boom" It was like an unprecedented earthquake. The diffuse smoke and the violent flames completely covered the ground for more than 200 meters in less than two minutes. !

"For Gaul! Forward" The Gallic light cavalry made a sound while fighting bravely, like a tragic elegy echoing before the sunset of the empire's fall!
