Main text 2091 The Empire Strikes Back (VI)

The Hungarian Army Prime Minister Baidulasu stared at the burning ditch in the distance, his retinas seemed to be dyed bright red with blood. The sudden rebellion of the Rila slaves disrupted the entire battle. Looking around, the Hungarians had hundreds of thousands of people. The cavalry sea of ​​the army also stopped thirty meters away from the fire ditch at this moment. It was not that they did not want to go forward, but the front was densely packed with the corpses of countless Rila people who had been hacked to death, and a few of the Hungarian cavalry were interspersed. Corpses, layer upon layer The piles were so stacked that the horses' hooves could not fall down. The fire trench in front was still burning, and blood was flowing on the ground that had been submerged to the hoofs and ankles of the horses. From the pile of corpses in front of them that could not land, we could see the desire of these Rila people to die. My heart is so strong. On every twisted body of the Hungarian cavalry, there are three or four corpses of Rila slaves with severed limbs. This kind of tragedy does not matter the nation or country. Some are just like the whimpering wind blowing in the ears. ,

"These damn Rilla people!"

A Hungarian Qianqiu commander, who was covered in blood, gritted his teeth and swung the scimitar in his hand violently. A series of blood beads hit the pile of corpses under the horse's hooves. Most of his men died here, and even himself, There are also injuries, big and small. If it weren't for the excellent armor on his body that protected the key parts, He was about to die. Tens of thousands of Ruela slaves fought back and were eventually bulldozed by the large group of Hungarian cavalry. However, at least three to four thousand of the Hungarian elite cavalry died here. If you include those who were pulled up earlier. The number of people who entered the fire pit was almost all that was left of the Hungarian cavalry front group of more than 7,000 people.

At this moment, the Hungarians have generally come to their senses. This is the conspiracy of the Rila people. They lit the fire ditch, blocked the Hungarian cavalry, and rescued these Rila slaves. This is not terrible. What is terrible is the determination of the Rila people. Huogou is destined to be able to save only some people, and the consequence of doing so is that the rest of the people will be killed by the Hungarians. . 23 The fire trench became a boundary between life and death. Three-fourths of the 100,000 riela slaves crossed the fire pit, and the other 60,000 riela died here. That is blood, that is death, but it is also The unyielding cry of a nation,

"Rilla, never give in!"

The screams of the Rila slaves before they died were like the flames burning in the fire ditch ahead. These Rila slaves used their own blood. Proving the blood that has flowed through his body for hundreds of years, no one thought that the cowardly Riela people who had always been looked down upon by him, the idiot Riela people who claimed to be the descendants of self-righteous heroes and were famous throughout Central Europe, were like cattle and sheep. The Ruila people, who were driven away and did not dare to resist at all, had such ferocity hidden in their bodies. At this moment, all the Hungarians felt a heavy feeling in their hearts. The land in front of me belongs to the Ruila people. This country has been under the influence of the people for the past twenty years. It almost became the overlord of Central Europe and Barro on an equal footing with the great forces of the East and West. A hundred years ago, this nation blocked the ferocious horseshoes of its ancestors, but now. These Rila people once again used their blood and sacrifices to stand in the way of Hungary's imminent conquest of Central Europe. This time, can Hungary change its previous failure?

"What a Rilla guy!"

The Hungarian Army Prime Minister Bai Dulasu's eyes were complicated, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Hungarian ferocity that he had cultivated with the heads of countless enemies and the submission of several kingdoms was unexpectedly revealed at this moment. In the whimpering wind. There were huge fluctuations,

"Military Minister, the opponent is obviously well prepared today. Continuing to attack will be detrimental to our army. It is better to wait until tomorrow, when the rear army escorts the war preparation equipment to arrive, and then the army swarms up. We will definitely be able to capture Fegey in one fell swoop!" A strong Hungarian Captain Yawan said to Baidulasu. Although his face was pale, there was an aggressive look in his eyes.

"Military Minister, although our army lost the first battle, it has not shaken its foundation after all. The most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army! If we continue to drive the army forward, if we lose again, the situation will be unimaginable..." Another Hungarian said The captain looked ugly and hesitated to speak.

Baidu Lasu looked a little hesitant. He suffered two consecutive setbacks today. He failed to capture 60,000 Falcon Emperor guns in one fell swoop, and lost tens of thousands of elites. Now he has not even captured the Rila people who have been regarded as the opponent's weakness in this battle. , and lost six to seven thousand troops, which really surprised him. The loss of more than 10,000 people, the loss of 100,000 riela slaves, is not a big deal to Hungary. One hundred thousand people died, and there are still 200,000 people behind. The big deal is that they have to be driven up to fill it in. Even if it is a fire pit, there is still time to fill it. , I don’t believe that the Ruila people can still block it, but these three The rescue of 40,000 desperate slaves was a great boost to the Rela Army's encouragement. On the other hand, after two consecutive setbacks, the soldiers' faces showed fatigue. They clearly had an absolute advantage in strength, but they never had it. Take any advantage, but at this moment all What is revealed is a kind of loss. They were defeated in two battles in one day. A feeling of depression has spread among the Hungarian army. In the siege battle, it is full of energy, then weakened, and exhausted three times. If it fails once, the difficulty is equal to It increases exponentially. Who knows what tactics are waiting for you ahead?

You can't really wait until your morale hits rock bottom before giving up! That's all, order all armies to withdraw and rest! Let’s wait until tomorrow when the offensive equipment escorted by the rear army arrives to fight again!

Baidulasu waved vigorously, and his upright body felt heavy for the first time. This land has not recognized Hungary yet. The national destiny of Hungary that he has supported under various conditions is indeed a little thin. This aura of decline, It must not spread anymore. If there is really a situation of three defeats in one day, Hungary's northward advance will be a joke! Since I have endured it for two months, I don’t care about the extra day. Hungarian soldiers have never been good at attacking fortresses. They have a headache when they see the city wall. But tomorrow, I want the entire Central European Barrow to know that besides the sea of ​​​​people filling the city, I , also has the power to attack difficulties!

Even the God of Thunder, I still have Hungry teeth!

Baidu Lasu looked indifferently at the black imperial army on the flanks of Feigei's outpost defense line. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up. What would happen if the strongest spear and the strongest shield collided with each other? He bombarded the imperial army with the imperial thunder god. The formation may be difficult, but it's a good way to bombard the Rila army's defense line!

The Hungarians retreated, and the darkness was almost like countless war cavalry weighing on people's hearts. Finally, they slowly retreated amidst a burst of desolate horns. Bright red blood, piles of corpses, and the world were illuminated by fire. There was blood, and the Hungarians withdrew, but no one cheered on the top of the city of Feguey. General Boaso of Rilla knelt on the ground. Tears fell, and the dim and old voice seemed to have lost its soul.

In the dust and smoke raised by the army, the imperial flag was erected high and spread out in the wind. Hundreds of cavalry guards followed closely behind Yagesti. There were always messenger cavalry galloping back and forth, reporting back on the situation ahead.

Yagasti, who had entered the southern part of Rila alone, was now the same as the cavalry under his command. He was covered with a layer of smelly leather armor, and two sets of iron armor bags were placed on the two prepared horses. There is a sword on the waist, a bayonet and a crossbow hung on the side of the saddle, as well as two large bags of feather arrows. With dry food and water, and sleeping in the open air, tiredness is natural, but the look that flashed on Yagosti's face was like a wolf king leading a pack of wolves into the territory. The imperial cavalry attacked Silas' army for half a month. The Silas army that had invaded the Rila border was frightened. The sharp contraction of the occupied area meant that even the Hungarian logistics line began to be seriously threatened.

The Hungarian Eastern Army was divided into two front and rear armies this time, with a front army of 110,000 and a rear army of 80,000. They originally hoped to delay the Hungarian Yaglins who were advancing north by attacking the Silas. At this moment, it was also noticed that the strength of the Hungarian troops in the occupied areas was greatly reduced. The occasional Hungarian cavalry was only in teams of a thousand people, and they did not engage in head-on combat with Yaglins' imperial cavalry at all. They just cooperated with a main Hungarian cavalry force of more than 10,000 people, and just protected the logistics line of the Hungarian army. The whereabouts of the main Hungarian cavalry were unknown, and the cavalry under Yaglins did not dare to fight too hard, otherwise they would fall into the hands of the Hungarians. If there is a trap, there is a possibility of being surrounded and strangled.

"Sir, an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs!" A cavalry messenger came from the front and delivered an order to Yaglins.

"This is..." Yagelins opened the order book and stopped his horse suddenly, with a trace of surprise on his face that could not be concealed. It seemed that the order book in his hand was unimaginable.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Several imperial cavalry squadron leaders came up from behind and asked out of curiosity. Everyone looked tired. Going in the opposite direction to the south of Rila was an adventure. Moreover, in order to raise military supplies and manpower, the Hungarians had already plundered the southern areas under their control. There are more than 100,000 Eastern troops and horses, and more than 300,000 Riela slaves. Such a huge consumption of rations is unbearable even if the southern part of the Riela is completely wiped out. This is why the Hungarian Eastern Army must go north, because the Hungarian Eastern Army We can’t afford it. In fact, the logistics of the Hungarian Eastern Army have already been Most of them relied on the Silas people, and the imperial cavalry guerrillas in the south were also in a situation of logistical isolation. They relied entirely on the remnants of the defeated Silas army for support, but this support gradually increased. The overall contraction of the Silas Army has begun to become more and more difficult.

The Kingdom of Silas is already poor. It has been squeezed by the Kingdom of Rila for many years, and almost half of its human, material and financial resources have been used up. Now it is burdened by such a heavy burden from the Hungarian Eastern Army. The situation of the Silas people is even more unbearable. , if they hadn't taken some advantage from the Rila people, the Silas people would have already been against the Hungarians after they united with the Hungarians. I regretted that I was about to vomit blood. Now I was harassed all the way by the imperial cavalry and beaten to a pulp. The Hungarians went north regardless of it, leaving tens of thousands of Silas troops who were almost collapsed. At this moment, I was most anxious and depressed. The people are the Silas people, and because of the constant attacks, most of the supplies in the camp were ordered to be moved

"Where is the headquarters of the Silas people?" Yagelins put the order book in his pocket and turned to look at the adjutant beside him.

"It should be in Odek." The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out the map of southern Rila from the baggage on the horse, pointed to a point to the south and said, "Since our army went south, the Silas army has begun to shrink in an all-round way. , the direction they are shrinking is all in the Odek area. Although there is no clear information, the Silas Army’s headquarters should be Odek!”

"Odek?"

Yagelins' eyes fell on the map, and he waved to the squadron leaders who gathered around him, "Turn around, let's go to Odek!"

"Sir, although Silas's army is weak, there are still fifty or sixty thousand people gathered. Our army will kill them like this, I'm afraid..." the adjutant said hesitantly with an ugly face.

"Don't worry, we are not going to attack the Silas people's base camp. We are just going to convey a message!" Yaglinsi glanced at the corner of his mouth, and the feeling was replaced by a smile. Since the war started in the south of Rila, facing Under the huge pressure of hundreds of thousands of people in Hungary, he rarely has such an expression anymore.

"News?" The adjutant blinked as he looked at his boss's expression.

"The Hungarians are going to be defeated. The Ministry of Military Affairs has ordered us to pay more attention to the movements of the Silas people." Yaglins glanced at the surrounding squadron leaders and said calmly, "If the Hungarians are defeated, they will inevitably withdraw." Enter Silas, but will Silas, a wallflower, still stick to the Hungarians? It's another matter! The Ministry of Military Affairs thinks that the Silas people are going to add insult to injury? That's what it means, right? A famous general in the war, he understood the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs quite thoroughly.

The city of Odek is located in a river valley surrounded by mountains. The southern tributary of the Oder River passes through here and merges into the Biros Lake area, the most important area in southern Rila. This is the key waterway on the southern border of Rila. It was once the heavily garrisoned area in southern Rila and is now the base camp of the Silas Army. location,

Inheriting the meticulous turtle shell defense characteristics of Rila, a huge fortress was built next to the river. There are three independent stone bridges in front, and each side is protected by a large defensive fort capable of stationing 5,000 people. It can be said to be impeccable in terms of defense. If there are enough troops, it can support the entire defense center of Ruila's southern line.

Although the Silas army is not strong in combat power, it has been with Rila for more than a hundred years and has kept the key points on the border in mind. It has long been coveted for this important central fort. At the beginning of the war, Rila The border troops were ordered to evacuate. The three thousand Riela Army stationed here were besieged by tens of thousands of Silas's army, and eventually all died in the battle. The Silas Army used this as a support point to establish a logistics line to supply the Hungarian Eastern Army. Let the Hungarian Eastern Army rush in, and in just ten days, they defeated the southern border defense that Rila had spent a hundred years building, and fell into a crisis situation with the door wide open.

As Silas's army shrinks at full strength. The army that received the attack also moved closer to the Oudek area on a large scale. At this time, the number of Silas troops gathered in the Oudek area exceeded 50,000. In addition to the main and auxiliary fortresses that are fully stationed, the large Silas military camp is located on the side of the rolling stone bridge. Under normal circumstances, it has such a complete defense system and all the peripheral sentry towers. There are enough troops stationed to deal with any enemy. The Silas Army here should be relatively leisurely, but the situation is exactly the opposite. There are tens of thousands of Silas Army stationed here. At this moment, there is a cry of injustice and suffering.

Stationed in this area, they also have to bear the consumption of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops. These tens of thousands of Silas troops are unlucky. In order to transport logistical materials up there, tens of thousands of manpower must be used every day. The Silas army lacked transportation horses. The Hungarians had horses, but they never lent them to the Silas army. This caused Silas soldiers to become transport horses. The main carrier for transporting these materials, a large amount of materials were transported from the country, and then transferred north. The transportation teams coming and going almost diverted one-half of the troops gathered in the Silas base camp, not to mention the exhaustion of the soldiers. , the transportation is slow, and those who do not arrive on time will be whipped by the Hungarians. Even the officers leading the team will not be spared.

"What kind of alliance troops are there? They are worse than auxiliary troops. I didn't suffer such bullying when I followed the Rila people! It's like this now. When the Hungarians go north with all their strength, we won't all die of exhaustion on the road! Maybe we will be used to fill the city when the time comes! There is nothing we can do today! "The generals of the Kingdom of Silas were quite dissatisfied with this, but after being frightened by the hundreds of thousands of Hungarians, they only dared to be angry and dare not speak out. The imperial cavalry fought hard, and the Hungarians pressed hard. Tens of thousands of troops directly He became a logistics worker with tens of thousands of people. He didn’t pay a penny and asked for nothing. This made people feel unbearable.

Outside the river valley, the imperial cavalry rolled in, rolling up a large cloud of smoke and dust that hit Odek's watchtower. It seems that there was also movement here. Finally someone was alerted. The alarming sound of the bell caused the Silas people in the valley to panic for a moment.

The imperial cavalry arrived so suddenly. The Silas army, who had been frightened by the attack, would have all run towards the fortress if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the King's royal flag was still flying.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the black cavalry group slowly stopped like a black line. At the front of the black line was a faint silver line. All Silas people who saw this scene were shocked. They had been defeated by this cavalry several times. They knew that it was the spear column at the front of this cavalry horse. At that time, the snowy light flickered and brought out a long silver-white line. This line has deeply imprinted fear into their hearts.

"No way, how did these killing gods come here?" General Silas put on his armor in a panic

"These guys are here to stay!" Some officers rolled around and ran away. The Silas army was in a panic. The military camp next to the stone bridge was like a pot exploding, with dense crowds of people running around from the camp.

Jagelins and his personal guards were leading the way, looking at the messy river valley ahead with narrowed eyes.

These Silas people were beaten by me for half a month, killing and injuring nearly 30,000 people. The rest are here. If I had just rushed in, I wonder if I could have eaten the outside of this place! With a bit of care, he gradually moved to the huge fortress at the fork of the river valley.

Yaglins raised his hand and said, "Dal, go and give this letter to the Silas people!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
