"Sir, there are three lines of smoke rising in the direction of Fegey ahead, and the main Hungarian force may appear in front!" A forward cavalry turned around eagerly from the front, and Yaglins and Boa were marching in the direction of Fegey. Suo reined in his horse ten meters in front of him.

In the direction of his finger, he saw three straight black smoke pillars rising against the sky.

Jagelins stopped his horse, raised his head and looked at the black smoke in the distance, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Was the Hungarian attack time advanced? It shouldn't be. The Hungarian forwards were hit hard once. They shouldn't have the courage to continue marching north before the main force has assembled. This possibility is unlikely. The Hungarian main force numbers as many as 200,000. It would be difficult to assemble it. It's not something that can be accomplished in a short time. A large army can do it. The battle cannot be accomplished in a single swarm, and the Hungarian cavalry that gathered in southern Rila have not returned. With such a large scale and quantity, it will take about ten days to slowly gather before they can advance northward, otherwise a large number of The transportation of prisoners is a problem.

"Has the situation been clarified? Is it confirmed that it is the main force of the Hungarians?"

Yaglins asked the imperial cavalry who came to report with a serious look. It was Reposti's idea that the Rila army used smoke to report the attack. Reporting an attack with smoke was already a regular method of the imperial army, but in the Barro region of Central Europe, the war The method of warning still remains in the form of horns and swift cavalry to call the police.

The imperial cavalry replied to him, "We have sent scouts there, and I believe there will be accurate news back soon!"

Jagelins' face was extremely serious. * His eyes were fixed on the three black smoke pillars that were ravaging the sky in the distance. His eyebrows were heavily twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan". The three smoke pillars stood side by side. This represented the enemy's strength of more than 10,000 people. Even if it was not in front of Hungary, The army is probably about the same.

At this time, the scout cavalry who went to investigate came galloping over, their horses' hoofs raised smoke and dust, and the horses had not stopped completely. The scout above had already jumped down, took a few steps forward and said, "Sir, the Hungarian army has about 20,000 troops, including more than 7,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry. They carry siege equipment. They seem to be heading towards the city." Come with Fegui! "

Yagelins still stared at the black smoke column in the distance and asked in a cold voice, "What's Fegey's reaction?"

"The city gate is closed, and you can't see clearly what's going on inside. The defenders have already climbed onto the city wall, and there are thousands of Riela refugees stranded outside the city gate. It should be that the city gate is blocked, so they can't evacuate! But it seems The Hungarians didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, and most of the scattered troops stopped about a thousand meters in front of Fegei."

The scout cavalry hesitated for a moment and carefully explained what he had seen.

"The Hungarians didn't attack the city? Instead, they stopped about three hundred meters away?" After hearing his words, Yagelins narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Sir, the seven thousand Hungarian cavalry, according to our army's combat strength, should be able to fight!" An imperial cavalry squadron leader behind him approached and whispered. This time, there were enough cavalry from the Imperial Central Army accompanying the team. Five thousand, these are the elite soldiers who have followed him for many years. The armor of the cavalry is complete, with a sword on the waist, and a Mitsubishi bayonet with a cold light on the hook. When they hear the Hungarians appear in front, their eyes are shining. In the battle ahead, the cavalry of the Imperial Central Army have already gained confidence. It feels like The Hungarians' combat power is actually not that great.

The most important thing is that I believe that the battle against the Hungarians cast a shadow. It was like a warrior who thought he was invincible. He was suddenly pushed to the ground by an unknown opponent without any resistance and was beaten violently. Even if When I realized afterwards, I realized that it was because of my carelessness that someone plotted against me. It was always inevitable. Fearful, they almost collapsed the Hungarian formation with one against three. If the right-wing army had not come back, the result of that battle would have been at least 20,000 people, instead of just beheading more than 10,000 people. Now the Hungarians How can the five thousand elite imperial cavalry endure the temptation when people come to your door?

"General Boaso, is there any terrain near Fegui that can be as close to the battlefield as possible without being exposed? For example, a forest or something like that!"

Yaglins also believed that a battle was possible. Fegey was the outpost closest to the Hungarians in this battle. Once it fell, our side would be completely blind and deaf on the south bank of the river, and there would be thousands of Riela refugees stranded. Is it possible to just watch the Huns occupy Fegei and massacre all the Rila people?

In that case, the Rila Army will be encouraged to defend the mouth of the river to delay the main Hungarian force's northward advance! If you want the Ruila people to work hard, the emperor must do something!

"There is no forest near Fegui, but there is a depression in the hills on the right side of the fortress. Unless the opponent has a secret sentry placed at a high place nearby, it is absolutely impossible to see the army marching in the depression!" Boaso hesitated, looking at Looking into the distance, he sighed

"This southern defense line has been my hard work for Rila for hundreds of years. Every sentinel point was set up to launch a counterattack! I just didn't expect that it would be like this now." As Rila's first-line general guarding the southern border, he is here More than thirty years have been devoted to this defense line. Every gully, every ravine, every city and every outpost here seems to be deeply imprinted in his mind.

It took him almost no time to lead Yaglinth's five thousand imperial cavalry to the entrance to this depression.

"If you go in from here, you can reach the hills to the south of Fegey within an hour. I just don't know if Fegey can hold on until then!" The veteran pointed forward, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. Since abandoning the south, he can't The outstanding officers in Shaorila's army all chose to die with their own camp. , causing the elite officer group that Rila spent decades cultivating to suffer heavy losses in the south. Thinking that more outstanding Rila young people would die in this war, the veteran's heart was bleeding, Rila This generation has already died, should the hope of the next generation also be dashed? But when the country is in ruins, who can say that what these young people did is wrong?

"Send the order, all troops move quickly!"

Jagelins raised his hand and glanced at the road ahead of the uneven hills that was obviously lower than the ground level. The five thousand imperial cavalry behind him divided into two teams and entered quickly. Hungary's 20,000 men quietly marched north. Such a force was neither too much nor too little. On the one hand, it could test the strength of the opponent's defense line. At the same time, it could also clear obstacles in front of it and remove outposts along the way, so as to slowly prepare for the army behind. The worst that could result from opening up a road to the north would be to lose some infantry combat power that was of little use. For the Hungarians, the loss of infantry was not a big deal.

Except for a small number of Hungarian shooters. Most of them were driven prisoners of war and cannon fodder. If these people were lost, they would be lost. On the contrary, the seven thousand Hungarian cavalry were very valuable to the Hungarians. I am afraid they would never attack the city without knowing the situation. battle!

This is his precious opportunity. As long as he seizes the opportunity properly, the 5,000 cavalry of the Imperial Central Army can defeat the 7,000 cavalry of the opponent's haste, and then sweep the Hungarian infantry group with the weakest combat power. In any case, it will occupy the territory. He lost one-tenth of Hungary's troops. I just want to tell the other party that unless it is the main force pushing forward, otherwise such scattered soldiers will kill as many as they come! Only in this way can we force the opponent even though he has superior strength. However, they did not dare to disperse their forces too much and attack in various directions, but had to advance slowly in groups. The Hungarian cavalry without mobility was like a blunt spear. The risk is also greatly reduced!

Seeing Yagelins leading five thousand black-armored imperial knights, flying into the low-lying entrance of the hills like a black dragon, the armor was as cold as water. The horses' hooves stirred up the mud on the ground, and the whole team was silent. No one was talking in the queue. The whole army was like a huge living creature, waiting in the darkness for the moment when the sharp blade was unsheathed.

A trace of deep shock flashed in the eyes of Rila veteran Boatho. The Falcon Empire cavalry is known as the strongest army of Opalo and it is indeed well-deserved. Although the Yaglins from the Falcon Empire in front of him is called the Empire's Wings One of them, famous in Central Europe during the Battle of the Great Lakes in southern Rila. Barrow, but in his ranking in the Falcon Empire, he is not yet a real first-line general of the Falcon Empire. His identity is only a flag commander of the Central Army. He actually has such admirable outstanding judgment and decisiveness. The soldiers under his command are all brave soldiers who are not afraid of death.

With five thousand cavalry, they dared to take the initiative to attack 20,000 Hungarian troops. This is unimaginable in other countries. The Hungarians have been tyrannizing Central Europe for hundreds of years. It was not that they gathered everyone's strength to suppress its expansion, but In these falcon empires In the eyes of the soldiers, the Hungarians who feared all of Central Europe were like waste chopping melons and vegetables, carrying the bursting war wind that engulfed the two empires. Several legions of the Falcon Empire, the Central Army of the Falcon Empire, There are also the personal guards of the military god emperor,

These truly belong to the elite who have gathered at the pinnacle of an era. If all of them are really thrown into the fight against the Huns by the Falcon Empire, I am afraid that no matter how many Huns there are, it will be a defeat, but they don’t know the Falcon above their status. What would be the level of the five commanders of the empire's conquests in all directions? And the one who swept two The level of the military god emperor of the great empire made Boatho dare not continue to think about it. "In the face of such a powerful opponent, Rila's background is obviously insufficient. She has been lying dormant for hundreds of years. It may not be considered wise to give up the fight for Barro's hegemony in Central Europe." ! "For the first time, the veteran who held the belief in Rila's rise was trembling in his heart.

At this time, in the direction of Fegey, the plain wind was strong, beating on the Hungarian flag, the horns were blaring, and groups of Hungarian cavalry covered the area within sight, like an iron stream. Surging, reflecting pieces of metallic light, they stopped three hundred meters away. A dozen Hungarian cavalry guards hugged a Hungarian general. They looked coldly at the large group of infantry in front of them preparing to attack the city.

More than a dozen long siege ladders were carried on the shoulders of the infantry in front. To be precise, the equipment of these infantry was relatively poor. Most of them were in linen clothes, and the weapons in their hands were wooden poles and iron guns. There were more than 10,000 of them. Those who were forcibly driven were divided into four teams. On the battle flag in front of the queue were two huge crossed bloody daggers, which were fluttering in the wind. The battle flags were waving, and the queue spread out. People were crowded, and there were even fights inside. The officer leading the team shouted something loudly from time to time, and two knights in armor immediately grabbed the fighters from the queue. The soldier was dragged to the front of the queue and killed with a sword. With a scream, some soldiers in the queue collapsed on the ground in fear.

The Hungarian cavalry in the rear just watched the performance of these infantry with a cold eye, showing deep disdain.

"Captain, who are these infantrymen in front of you!" Someone on the city wall asked curiously

"It's the prisoner army of Silas!" replied the Rilla officer on the wall of Fegey. He stood upright against the wind and glanced at the Hungarian cavalry arrayed further away, his eyes fixed on that The Hungarian general under the black flag. The armored hands tightened, and his eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.

The so-called prisoner army is an army composed of prisoners. When Rilla controlled Silas, she also used the prisoners of Silas to form the prisoner army as cannon fodder for the army to attack the city. The combat power of these prisoners was not very good. , but there are also some real brave men who dare to die. The regulations of killing one person of the opponent can avoid death, and killing three of the opponent can lead to freedom. This is enough to make these criminals fight hard, but the opponent's military strength is enough to quickly crush them. Himself, but he arranged it so slowly. No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

The Rila refugees below the fortress had already dispersed. No matter how hungry they were or how weak they were, they were running like flying. They couldn't run anymore. They fell into the dirt in front of them and were dragged forward by their relatives and friends, who were all crying. The sound is heartbreaking, just in such an atmosphere. The Silas prisoner army in front of the Hungarian cavalry began to move, "Front line!" With an order, tens of thousands of prisoners were pushed to the front with a shout, and they saw a mass of black heads. The eyes were full of fear, and there were weapons in the front rows, while those in the back were bare hands, or just a sharpened stick. There was no protection, like a dense swarm of ants in front of the Fegui outpost, and all prisoners were asked to face the front. They couldn't see behind them, the Hungarian archers drew their bows, and the Silas regular army who pressed the front also raised their shields and spears.

"Please mark the line, sir!" General Silas said to the Hungarian general with a flattering look on his face.

"If so, you're welcome!" The Hungarian general grinned, took off the bow on his horse, and raised it into the air in the direction of Fegey Fortress ahead.

Behind the prisoner army, they saw an arrow cluster with a sharp whistling sound shot from the big bow in the hand of the Hungarian general. It crossed a distance of more than 100 meters and hit the front of the Fegei city wall about 20 meters away. The land of rice made a clear sound, and the tail feathers of the arrow cluster swayed like a benchmark.

At the same time, behind the prisoner army, there were no more than a hundred Hungarian archers lined up in a row, but their momentum was far greater than that of the Silas people. With a "Shoot!", in an instant, hundreds of Hungarian archers were His hand suddenly let go of the bowstring, and a whole row of arrow clusters burst into the backs of the criminal prisoners in front from behind. The bright red blood exploded suddenly, and the sharp arrow clusters shot many criminals from the front. The front of the prisoner's body was revealed, and the Hungarian archer had shot not the heart, but the lungs. Those who had been hit by the arrows could not die for a while. They were rolling on the ground in pain, and internal organ residues continued to gush out from their mouths along with blood. The ground was dyed red, and the numb faces of the prisoners did not change. It seemed that they had known this would happen, but everyone subconsciously held their breath.

The next moment, a loud shout came, "Those who have not crossed the place where the arrows are clustered within ten minutes will suffer like this!" Tens of thousands of criminal prisoners swarmed out like a flood after a dike burst, like a surging wave. A wave of people rushed towards the outpost of Fegui,

"Captain, what should we do? There are so many people!" The Ruila militiamen on the city wall have seen such a battle. Ten simple long ladders were pushed by the crowd, and some of the prisoners were still dragging their feet. The open iron chain made a squeaking sound when I started walking, and I couldn't move faster. The people in the front row held up a few wooden signs as shields. They seemed to know that there were not many defenders in the city of Fegui. The eyes of these prisoners staring at the earthen wall of the outpost in the distance flashed with an intimidating luster. As long as they rushed through In the past, as long as you crossed that line and filled in the trench in front of the earth wall, you could survive.

The eyes of the prisoners were already red. Even if they were asked to gnaw with their teeth at this moment, they had no choice but to rush forward and gnaw. The Hungarians' cruelty frightened them. Even if they crossed the line, if they could not defeat this A piece of earth wall, the Huns will also deal with the defeated people according to the three-kill-one method.

On the city wall, Officer Rilla, who was relatively calm, visually measured the distance. Except for a few dozen regular soldiers, the hands of other militia shooters were trembling. Fortunately, as the most important outpost, Fegey has sufficient weapons storage, and they are all on the city wall. Good iron arrowheads may not be able to deal with heavy armored infantry in the hands of militiamen, but they are enough for these prisoners of Silas in sackcloth in front of them. As arrow clusters continue to fall intermittently on the city wall, Silas falls below. On the body of the criminal, if it touches it, it will penetrate deeply. The wave of people that was originally surging forward suddenly turned into pieces.

"Shoot, don't stop!" Officer Ruila personally drew his bow and fired downwards on the city wall. There were too many prisoners and the formation was too dense. He didn't even want to take aim. He saw arrows falling in clusters. Below The screams were heard, and several Silas prisoners turned around and ran away in fright. They were shot into bloody holes by the Hungarian archers behind them.

"Jump down, jump into the ditch!" People

Among the group, I don’t know which person was shouting miserably: “You will be killed by the Hungarians in the future, and you will be killed by the Rila people in the future. Let’s just huddle in the ditch. Bring the ladder up, and everyone will pay with their lives!” We can still survive if we take it down. If we can't take it down, everyone will die here!" The prisoners in the chaos stopped and someone shouted, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. They jumped down into the ditch one after another, ignoring the arrows falling like rain from above. They used the corpses to hold up the wooden ladder and straddled it. They used human blood and minced meat to build more than a dozen passages.

"Forward!" The Silas infantry behind began to move forward. The Hungarians, except for the hundred archers, still had no intention of moving (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
