Main text 2197 Eye of the Storm (Twenty-two)

The white light on the horizon is fading away, which is a sign that the night is about to fall. Silent silence hangs over the heads of Feishan's remnant army. Pure white snow is still pouring down from the top of their heads, covering the sky and earth into a vast expanse of white. On the corpses all over the ground, red people Amidst the blood-stained ground, Fei Shan's soldiers sat scattered and tired in the snow. They no longer had the iron armor and frost-cold aura they had before. They looked numb, and even the cloak of honor that they regarded as life seemed to be as dull as before. Trash like rags littered all over the floor

The despair of being abandoned is more terrifying than the freezing cold. What's more, without any supplies, tens of thousands of people have used their flesh and blood to resist the invading arrow clusters and heavy horse hooves. They have already fought to the limit and can delay time until now. It was already a miracle. This was because the enemy's cavalry group finally stopped attacking an hour ago.

The opponent is not timid, but is gathering strength to prepare for the final blow against him. This blow must be an unstoppable earthquake, causing the earth to crack and the landslide to collapse. Even the most ordinary soldiers can see this. After their armor is soaked in blood, It looked even more slippery and thick. The injured soldier's face, which was as pale as paper due to blood loss in the mud, was already There was no sign of life. A total of 78,000 corpses of Fei Shan soldiers lay in this long ravine covered by heavy snow. There were less than 30,000 people left. As a result of the desperate obstruction in the middle section, Fei Shan The 60,000 people in the front army could rush towards the small stone castle without being affected. This was the only good news that came.

"As long as we resist until dark, we will withdraw!" This was the order passed down by the officers above. Under the snowy curtain, the army was so trapped that it was even worse than a beggar. Even the bravest flag bearer in the army casually moved the king's flag. Plunge deep into the mud and throw out all the excess stuff on your body. Many people's eyes are looking at the disappearing sky in the distance, waiting for the night to fall. This is everyone's last hope for survival.

"It's getting dark! According to the time, Your Majesty should be out of danger! Even if you evacuate now, there is no possibility of being affected. Take my sword and tell the team that it is time to evacuate."

Zhang Simons Parker, the fifth legion of the Feishan Army, was extremely tired and looked away from the distance. He let out a long sigh and made a few simple nasal sounds. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. He could evacuate after dark. This was a death order given by him. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the imperial team on the opposite side had polished the sword of massacre. The cavalry group stopped attacking in order to psychologically make the last 30,000 Feishan soldiers report. By luck. In fact, such luck is in vain. How can two legs run faster than four legs? I'm afraid no one can make it back alive.

"Sir, we are ordering evacuation at this time, my subordinates are worried...

The guard captain looked ugly and hesitated to speak. He knew that this order had been issued. There is no doubt that the whole army will collapse immediately. This day is so long. The encounter started at noon, and the fierce battle lasted until 5 pm. The cavalry who transported the corpses of the two regiment commanders had returned. They reported that His Majesty the King had left early and no one was there to receive the corpses, so they had to be handed over to the former soldiers they met on the road. A squadron leader. The squadron leader said he would try his best to transport it, but also mentioned that he might choose to abandon it if necessary. "You still have time to worry about the dead? Don't worry about it. Those are things that only those who survive need to consider!" The squadron leader said mercilessly with a look of eagerness to run away. The two sides almost started fighting.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see if you can survive!"

Simons Parker raised his riding crop, grinned, and turned over to mount his horse for the eleventh time. The pain from the arrow wound on his shoulder made him just frown slightly. If it were elsewhere, this The arrow that shot through half of his shoulder would kill most of his life. If he didn't take it out quickly, the diamond-shaped blood groove in front would kill him. Let his blood drain, but this is Bavaria, so there is no need for such considerations. The severe cold in Bavaria is more effective than doctors. The wounds will be frozen by the blood in a short time, which is invisible. The Feishan people who helped the desperate resistance could always stand up again staggeringly, as long as they were not killed by a single blow.

Simmons Parker didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the abandonment of the former army. Logically speaking, it should be pleasant to know that His Majesty the King was out of danger, but one-third of Feishan's army of 300,000 was killed in one day and one night. Second, with such a huge loss, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a disastrous defeat. There were an incalculable number of imperial troops following behind like hungry wolves, which made Simon Sparks unable to laugh anymore.

"Abandoned!"

He glanced at the remaining soldiers. The hand holding the reins of the war horse already had cracks from frostbite, and blood was solidified on the reins, but Simons Parker couldn't feel this. His hands were numb from the cold. Most Fei Shan The same is true for soldiers. It is these people who use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's cavalry. Are such outstanding Feishan soldiers abandoned by His Majesty? Otherwise, why did the tens of thousands of people from the former army not come for reinforcements, but instead chose to evacuate without hesitation while watching the deadly battle in the middle? The answer that cannot be replied is the answer. Several generals in the front army are not people who are afraid of death. There may not be anyone like him who wants to reinforce the fierce battle in the middle, but Haas can ask tens of thousands of people in the front army to unanimously He ran towards the small stone castle. What else could it be besides His Majesty's military order!

"It's getting dark! Can't we really let my cavalry fight in the front?" Rui Tangtingna was riding on a snow-white horse, holding a gem-encrusted riding crop upside down, looking calmly around Fei Shan's army in front of them with a pleading look on their face as they evacuated. The fat man spins,

"If your horse runs faster than my carriage, I will let you go in front. The width of the ravine is so wide. I don't want to bump into each other." The fat man rolled his eyes indifferently, and Ruitang Tingna immediately said She stopped talking as if frost had struck an eggplant. It was obvious that this woman was very upset about not defeating Fei Shan's remnant army in one fell swoop, but wasn't this exactly the result she needed? Since Dongting was divided into three pillars, and the other two forces were either surrendered or destroyed by themselves, Ruitang Tingna's power has become more and more powerful. Just the fact that she can obtain low-priced food from the empire in winter is enough to unite many Dongting tribes. heart,

There are 350,000 Dongting people, and there are more than 50,000 capable cavalry wearing armor and controlling strings. This does not include the ordinary tribesmen who can ride horses and bend bows. Otherwise, there will be more than 100,000. The Dongting tribe is unified and cultivates. It is terrifying, although the number of people is not as high as that of King Dongting. period, but now Dongting has no internal or external troubles, and can still get the support of the empire. The soldiers and horses are as strong as a sharp sword. Such power is in the hands of this ambitious woman. If she is given the aura of an invincible commander, the empire may not be able to Stay suppressed!

Fortunately, this woman really has no strategic ability. In the Dongting people's thinking that respects the strong, this shortcoming is fatal. War is a man's business. Ruitang Tingna, who wants to establish her own prestige, even if He has developed the bad habit of killing every battle. Is it not to cover up the existence of this shortcoming?

However, relying on slaughter is more about fear than loyalty. The military god that all the tribes in the East Court look up to is herself. This time, facing a weak and remnant army like Fei Shan, Ruitang Tingna only has 50,000 well-equipped soldiers. Ting Tingqi was unable to win, and its heavy blow was enough to knock Ruitang Tingna, who was jumping up and down in the north of the long wall some time ago, back to her original shape.

With a look of sorrow and anger, Rui Tangtingna rode her horse in a circle and then turned back. She blinked with a pair of pretty and shining eyes, scanning the tens of thousands of the main force of the empire who were preparing the ski carriage, and asked thoughtfully, "Duo Wei" Where's Yan? Don't tell me that the people from Xiting didn't set out this time. I just looked at it and didn't find that the people from Xiting were in a hurry. I was just a little faster than them, but I wouldn't be able to wait a few hours. No chance of catching up! "

"There is more than one ravine leading to the small stone castle. If someone is chasing you, someone will block it!" The fat man grinned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. Animals like women are very vindictive. I have to say that I didn't look at it at first. I'm afraid I'll understand everything now that I'm thinking about it, but so what?

"You are using the Feishan people to dig a hole for me to jump into! No matter what, you have to compensate me. The soldiers under my command are still waiting for the winter!" Ruitang Tingna's eyes were full of tears, and her strength turned into weakness. , she knows that Fatty Fatty is a guy who eats soft things rather than hard things, and the people from Xiting follow Fatty Fatty to eat well and drink hot food. , even the most important winter festival every year is held in Barrow, Central Europe, which shows how generous the treatment is. The people have not come back, but the countless trophies brought back in cars and ships are enough to make people jealous. It’s not like the Court Cavalry has never fought for the empire, but who has ever seen a bounty of three million gold coins? Not to mention that the empire's borders gave special exceptions, allowing the Xiting tribe to enter the warm Aichemoor area to spend the cold winter. For the grassland people, this is equivalent to reducing the loss of more than half of the livestock, which is the lifeblood of the tribe. There are places like the East The Ting tribe huddled up and worked hard in some of the earthen forts they had painstakingly built. The people were alive, but the livestock fell one after another, and the grassland people were still uncomfortable after being killed!

How could the fat man be fooled like this? He said to the stubborn Ruitang Tingna, "I gave you the chance to swallow all the enemies. Who is to blame if you can't defeat them yourself? The mouth is a bit big to begin with, and the teeth are white and clean. It looks quite good." It's wild and tempting. Now it's a red line, not exposed. Don't I know that it's about to eat people? The rewards for the people of Xiting are piled with human heads. There's no need to be jealous. Just do the things in front of you well. That’s the most important thing!”

"What's going on in front of you?" Ruitang Tingna blinked.

"The ravine is dozens of miles long. The emperor only cares about moving forward and does not care about the defeated army. I will leave the cleaning to you!" The fat man raised the whip in his hand, (To be continued)
