Main text 1959 Battle of the Great Lakes

"Rumble"

The muzzle of the Thor's gun continued to emit fire, and the smoke with a strong sulfur smell was blown away by the lake wind. Only the light of the Thor's bullet dragging black smoke streaked across the void in the Great Lakes area, and the explosion occurred when it landed. The turbulence produced a red-like mist that filled the area three hundred meters in front of the Falcon formation.

Amidst the smoke, the scattered charging coalition troops seemed to have encountered a huge catastrophe.

As if he stepped on a huge crater, countless objects flew up, some flew high into the sky, and then fell in irregular curves under the gaze of everyone. Some soldiers were blown to pieces. The remains of corpses, as well as the entire shield that was blown up and distorted,

The core battle of the Third War in Putau, the Battle of the Great Lakes District, kicked off with the unique rhythm of the Falcon Navy's salvos firing at Thor. The gunners from the Imperial Navy were skillfully cleaning the gun barrels and stuffing new ammunition bags. The command sentry on the side raised the red flag in his hand high, " "Rumble" Countless fires erupted again, and white smoke filled the lakeside. The Thor's base wheels moved heavily backward on the dirt platform, pushing out a huge mark. Although it was the first time to participate in an army battle with a scale of 100,000 people, But the Navy shooters showed themselves to be in very good shape.”

The gunfire was intense, and the shooters had become accustomed to the deafening roar from the front muzzle.

They treated the lakeside as sandy land on the seaside and used the excavated loose soil to build a one-meter-high stable shooting fort. In addition, the Navy Thor had a better deflection angle than the Army Thor, and easily completed the task without the need for the frontline troops to disperse. Under such circumstances, the arrangement for artillery bombardment is to launch an artillery attack on the target three hundred meters ahead.

One hundred and fifty Thors were not fired in a neat volley. The commander sent by the Navy Department was from the Imperial Army, and he was very clear about the steps of the Army battle. Generally, the troops running at the front would not be the main force, but often some lightly armed troops. commando. This article is written by . . It’s not cost-effective to pour Thor’s firepower on them in the starting lineup.

Therefore, he only asked the fifty Thors deployed on the left wing to suppress the distance of 300 meters in front. The remaining one hundred Thors deployed in the center and right were adjusting their muzzles. The coalition forces that suffered a heavy blow were caught off guard and suffered losses. There were two to three thousand people, but for For a coalition force of more than 70,000 people, such a loss was still bearable. When the stunned coalition generals were asked by their confused subordinates what tactics they should use to attack, one general finally came to his senses, with a look on his face. Horror was long gone, and his eyes were glowing. That kind of light is like a vulture seeing a fat prey that has just died,

That's the God of Thunder! The coalition general looked at the place where white smoke kept coming out in the distance, and the fingers that clenched the hilt of the cross sword tightly made a rattling sound. The Thunder God is the most sharp heavy weapon of the Falcon Emperor. It has the ability to destroy cities and countries. Power is something that no amount of money can buy.

If anyone captures Thor and explores its structure, he can produce it entirely by himself.

The power of Thor. Just look at the Falcon Empire's sweep across the central and northern Obarro region in just a few years, and you will know that it is a super weapon that can move a kingdom towards the foundation of an empire. Even if half of the people are killed, it is worth it, and judging from the scale of its salvo Let’s talk. The Falcon Army's Thors are at least thirty, which is such a heavy weapon. However, the Falcon Army opposite has only 20,000 people, and the coalition forces here alone have more than 70,000. The area where the two armies are fighting is a flat beach with no danger to defend. The distance between the two armies is now less than 500 meters. Various factors have shown to be beneficial to the coalition forces.

"Why are you still standing there! Press with all your strength! What are you afraid of! We have a large number of people. So what if the opponent has the God of Thunder? Five times the force ratio, no matter what his tactics are! If there are too many ants to kill the elephant, give them all to me "Come on!" The coalition general licked his chapped lips, and the general's cross sword in his hand was heavily inserted into the mud at his feet. His face was as red as chicken blood.

"Tell the front, whose troops captured a Thunder God, the bounty is 100,000!" Some coalition generals offered exciting high prices. Under the heavy reward, the coalition forces burst out with a strong momentum, and the cavalry mixed with the infantry rushed towards them crazily. Charged with the Falcon Army, withstood the roaring explosion, completely ignoring the pain from the hot broken earth hitting his face.

"Assholes, are these guys crazy!" Varisien stared at the allied troops moving forward desperately, and couldn't help but snorted. The unexpected explosion of the allied forces was still very shocking.

"Charge!" The coalition forces rushed out of the explosion area with bursts of fierce shouts. Countless soldiers poured out of the smoke formed by the explosion like a flood, and the oncoming arrow clusters hit the infantry shields and made a burst of noise. There was a crash like a heavy rain falling to the ground. Many people were hit by sharp crossbow arrows and fell over, but because there were more people charging behind,

"Kill him! One hundred thousand gold coins for a thunder god. No matter his status, he will be made a noble immediately!"

The various motivating voices made the eyes of the coalition soldiers red. Who cares about the formation now? Countless pairs of feet rumbled on the muddy beach, and they rushed forward with spears like a forest, unstoppable. Even the coalition generals felt that the goddess of victory had lifted her lace skirt towards them at this moment. As long as the Falcon Army's long-range advantage is reduced, our own strength advantage will be enough for the other side to tear apart i. In this regard,

"Order the crossbowmen to attack!"

Varisian raised his hand. There were 60,000 troops participating in this battle. According to their respective subordinates, Varisian's 10,000 central army and 30,000 local troops formed the center line that bore the main pressure. Rispoti The flag regiment is responsible for the left side, the Yaglinsi flag regiment is responsible for the right side, and the cavalry is ordered to The horse hooves galloped past the 20,000 Imperial crossbowmen in the Central Army's main formation, shouting "Order, the whole team fire!" The soldiers of the Imperial local army's crossbowmen team who participated in the war for the first time nervously began to line up, holding in their hands The crossbows were raised neatly to the sky and fired continuously in the order of each row.

collapse! collapse! collapse! "The sound of the bowstrings coming from the direction of the shooting queue was like a burst of torn cotton. The shooting was a bit scattered. It would be good for the recruits to perform like this on the battlefield. They are neat and deadly. They must have at least one or two combat experiences. Only the soldiers have it,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "Arrow clusters struck the air. Countless arrow clusters shone with cold light, just like a flock of migrating birds leaping into the sky in turn. The heavy rain turned into metal in the air and poured on the heads of the running coalition soldiers. "Ah" the coalition soldiers fell on their backs, tragically. Call it a piece, the recruits' first shot was good, although not as good as The veterans were so accurate and deadly that they were enough to deal with the dense formation of the coalition offensive. The sharp arrows penetrated the bodies of the coalition charging soldiers, bringing up pieces of blood mist. The recruits looked at the coalition soldiers in front with wide eyes. Rolling, some can't believe this is their own masterpiece

"See, there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you hold your fingers firmly, you can tear the enemy into pieces with your eyes!" In another team, the crossbow captain loudly encouraged the soldiers,

At this time, the Gangfei troops finally began to attack. Gang Feiren was attacking Reposti's left wing. Reposti held up the lookout glass in his hand.

Through the oval mirror, he looked solemnly at the extremely neat formation of the Gangfei infantry. These infantrymen had the red tassels of the Imperial Guard on their heads, and they were advancing very fast, like a line of rolling arrows. Flames, about 30,000 Gangfei infantry pressed in their direction,

Reposti ordered the troops to maintain diagonal formation. And sent a message of joint attack to Varisien in the middle. Soon, a cross network formed by a hundred Thors from the center and left began to launch a covering artillery bombardment on the 200 meters in front. The overwhelming line of Thor artillery shells that both loved and hated the Gang Fei people fell on the heads of the Gang Fei Guards soldiers like heavy rain. The soil kicked up by the intensive explosion was like a rolling earth dragon sweeping the earth. Same as turned over. The people and vegetation above were blown away, reflecting in the cross-rays of light like colored diamonds in the vast swamp.

"The other party also has the God of Thunder! Should we wait a little longer!" This time, the little emperor Gang Fei finally did not lose his composure. However, the number of Thors in the Falcon Army gave him a bad feeling. He asked the generals of the generals next to him in a childish voice,

"Your Majesty, the main force of the coalition forces has pressed forward, and our army has no room to retreat!"

The generals of the generals were advising the little emperor. An older general said to the little emperor, "Although the Falcon Army on the opposite side is surprisingly ferocious in firepower, its shortcomings in strength are also obvious. Its current performance is like It's just a painful struggle before death. With five times the strength, Gang Fei's side will never lose. Now all we have to do is get close, and the other side will definitely collapse!"

The little emperor was moved by what he said. At such a young age, he could not judge the situation on the battlefield, especially in this kind of battle with a scale of 100,000 people. In his eyes, there were dead people everywhere, and the arrow clusters and arrows of the Falcon Army on the opposite side were everywhere. The God of Thunder poured in crazily, rolling up dust and dirt all over the sky, and scattering large swaths of death. The corpse, the bright red blood exploded like a plum blossom, and the unconscious body was caught in the torrent of light and shadow formed by arrow clusters. Arrows were hit, arrows were hit, and arrows were hit continuously. Countless arrow clusters were like sparrows flying across the field as a scarecrow. Flying over, maybe too many people died, the little emperor's eyes were a little red

"Your Majesty, I suggest sending cavalry to attack the opponent's central army!" said a gray-haired veteran. "The opponent's military strength is a shortcoming that cannot be overcome. Moreover, the opponent has been marching in a hurry all night, and his mental and physical strength have reached the critical point. The situation in front of him is Everything is just an illusion forcibly supported by the other party. The stronger the other party's performance, it proves that the other party has smelled the breath of failure. This is a desperate struggle! Just give it a hard blow from the front and the other party will collapse! "

"Well, this plan is feasible."

The generals agreed. The distance between the two armies was now less than 200 meters. According to the speed of the cavalry, it would take less than ten seconds at most. Rushing over would be enough to disrupt the current shooting rhythm of the Falcon Army. As long as the Chinese army is in chaos, it will break in. The coalition forces can cut the Falcon Army in the middle. At that time, the only outcome for these 20,000 Falcon Army is to die in battle or escape by jumping into the lake.

"Then let's do this, put all our cavalry on it!"

The young Emperor Gangfei's eyes flashed and he decided to take a gamble. Just as he described in the diary of his father, the former Emperor Gangfei, many times, when the future cannot be predicted, taking a gamble is not an option. , it was with this mentality that his father stood out from the many heirs and sat on the throne of Emperor Gangfei.

"All cavalry, follow me"

Reske received the order to attack, got on his horse, and behind him there were about 5,000 cavalrymen parked at the headquarters of the Congolese Army. Because the swampy area was not conducive to cavalry assaults, the troops sent up were all Congolese infantry. , after receiving the news, the coalition forces had already made way for them. The five thousand Gang Fei cavalry flattened the bayonet in their hands with murderous intent, and the sharp metal spear head flashed with cold light.

"Charge!" Reske exerted his strength with both legs, and the war horse was the first to rush out. The smoke in front was dispersing. The cavalry attacked with an astonishing momentum. The sound of horse hooves shook the earth and the mountains were rapid and vigorous. Five thousand Gangfei cavalry sent out a huge The V-shaped attack line began to pour in overwhelmingly from the direction of the Gangfei Army's main formation.

"They are inhuman cavalry!"

Yaglins's eyes on the right narrowed into a line. Under deliberate arrangement, his right side was at the bottom of the Falcon Army's diagonal line, so he was not attacked. Neither the coalition nor the Congolese Army were attacked. Don't be stupid enough to hit the bottom of the slash, because this is equivalent to completely exposing your side to the wrath of the Falcon Army.

"We're finally here!" Yagelins licked his chapped lips excitedly and began to issue orders because he was not attacked. The right side of him calmly changed formation, like a pair of wings that suddenly spread out to form a victorious V-shaped "sniper longbow formation." The strongest military formation of the Falcon Emperor Corps quietly appeared in the thunder smoke that had not completely dissipated. , the cavalry group charging towards the front has already spread its embrace of the death scythe. , the rapid vibration of bowstrings was like the bursting of heavy rain, the salvo of three hundred heavy ballistae, the countless black spots were like swarms of locusts bursting on the horizon, firing towards the side of the galloping Gangfei cavalry, "neighing" and the war horses letting out pain. With an unbearable neighing, the thick steel crossbow arrows caused the galloping war horses to roll heavily. The Gangfei cavalry was thrown out like a can, and the belly of the war horse was torn apart by the heavy crossbow, and it hit the ground heavily mixed with internal organs and blood.

"Watch out for enemy arrows. Put up your shield."

Seeing his comrades tumbling in front of him, a captain of the Gang Fei Cavalry shouted in panic, and then watched the light of the metal rapidly magnify in front of his eyes, and he gasped. Like a fly that was swatted to death with a strong hand, blood spattered everywhere, and half of his head was cut open like a watermelon by the crescent moon at the front of the crossbow. The horse under his crotch did not know that its owner was dead, so it did not slow down and was still running like crazy towards the front. The body of the Gangfei cavalry captain was dragged for dozens of meters before rolling in the mud. Countless powerful arrow clusters were carried by it. A violent whistling sound came from the right side,

"bump"

The violent collision triggered red sparks, and the iron shields twisted and deformed and bounced into the air. The Gang Fei cavalry found that the shields in their hands were not as thin as a piece of paper in front of the whizzing sharp arrowheads, and the thick arrowheads of heavy crossbows were not as thin as a piece of paper. He shot them through with their shields mercilessly and tore their bodies apart,

Lesk rolled on the ground in embarrassment for several meters.

His beloved horse was hit by two heavy crossbows almost simultaneously. The sudden pause threw Resker to the ground. He immediately curled up behind the broken body of his beloved horse and watched his cavalry being neatly killed. It was peeled off in pieces, and the cold sweat on the forehead mixed with the hot blood remained on the cheeks.

Fortunately for him, he only hurt his forehead when he dropped his horse.

The other cavalry were not so lucky. The sudden attack of heavy crossbows severely damaged the Gangfei cavalry from the side. The Gangfei cavalry group ambushed by a cluster of heavy crossbows was like being cut by a huge scythe that swept swiftly. The war horses Showing a diagonal line rolling forward, the rider above Soldiers were either thrown off their horses, or shot through their bodies by crossbow arrows that flew quickly. Some cavalrymen were knocked off their horses by powerful heavy crossbows and were nailed to the ground. Or, like Reske, they just dared to lie on the corpse. I came to hide behind, the ground was covered with broken meat, and the blood stained the mud under my feet.

"That's...!"

The young emperor Gang Fei shivered in horror when he saw this scene. Looking at the right wing of the Falcon Army that suddenly exploded like a porcupine, his mind went blank. The cavalry that kept advancing was like a blind target, and even The large coalition forces were also brought in. The cavalry group's meticulous coordination and high degree of uniformity turned this sure-fire assault into an unstoppable disaster. When the heavy crossbows came from the side, it was too late. It was as if they had been slapped hard on their bodies by the palm of a giant, and a huge flesh-and-blood fault opened its mouth wide in front of them.

"No, there's no way to fight!" The coalition forces were the first to waver, feeling that they had hit an iron plate. After their greedy impulse was severely crushed, the coalition team began to retreat on a large scale, watching as soldiers continued to attack around them. Arrow, watching the booming explosion splash countless pieces of meat around , Marquis Lauryn from the Kingdom of Feirau, one of the coalition forces, cowered and his fear turned into personal horror. The Marquis issued an order like a wail, "Retreat!" Regardless of other troops in the chaos, he took dozens of his own guards with him. The cavalrymen fled back like crazy,

His first withdrawal left the coalition forces in complete chaos.

Before the battle with the Falcon Army, the Marquis of Lauryn once boasted that he was "just a desperate wild dog. If he wanted to fight those guys, he would rather fight with the Vecian Falcon. Only fight with his subordinates." It’s really not satisfying, it’s just a side dish at best. Disc, but at this time I have no choice but to make do with it." At this moment after making such heroic words, Marquis Lauryn no longer knew where to throw these words on the battlefield. At this time, he just ran for his life, but A large number of scattered and miscellaneous soldiers appeared in front of the escape.

These miscellaneous soldiers were stunned when they saw the horses galloping towards them. They were wearing thin linen clothes and had no weapons, but they also frightened the frightened Laurian. They found that they were the farmers hired by the coalition forces to carry the wounded.

"Assholes, the whole team rush over!" The humiliated Marquis shouted hysterically. The adjutant who heard the order couldn't help but doubt his hearing. "Sir, those are just farmers carrying wounded soldiers! Are we..." The adjutant approached the Marquis's horse. Before he finished speaking, Marquis Laurian's horse had already galloped and knocked a farmer who was standing there.

"Since you are one of us, why are you blocking my way? , do you want to stop me from turning? Don't worry about it, charge at me now! Did you hear me? I said charge at me!" Just like that, the most tragic scene in the Battle of the Great Lakes happened.

The cavalrymen following closely behind Laurian rushed over these farmers without hesitation, showing the ruthlessness and cruelty of war itself.

The other cavalrymen of the coalition followed suit and trampled the non-Gongfei farmers to death without hesitation. According to statistics after the war, at least 3,000 non-Gongfei farmers died in this chaotic rout (to be continued..)
