Main text 2985 Cutting off the Clouds (XIV)

The cold mist in the early morning was like a layer of meadows meandering across the wilderness. The ground was as moist as if a haircut had been pushed through it. Surrounding the cavalry of the Ninth Banner of the Muli River, there was already a thick layer of grass lying on it. Layers of corpses, under the morning glow and dense clouds, launched three consecutive attacks last night The troops of the Shanzhong Province that had attacked four times began to slowly retreat like a tide, but they did not evacuate. Instead, they took advantage of their strength and surrounded the Ninth Banner Group on three levels from a distance of about 300 meters. Live, watching eagerly from the side, with the intention of not giving up until the ninth flag is eaten.

Taking advantage of this precious time, Mulihe arranged for an experienced scout captain to survey the surrounding environment.

It is certain that the opponent has moved hands and feet in the grass, or the opponent thinks that as long as the high mobility of the cavalry is restricted, they can massacre them. However, the opponent did not expect that the Ninth Banner was a cavalry archer composed of Kugits. The troops were clustered together, and the war horses were unable to charge. The archers' prairie bows also caused the troops in the mountains to pay a heavy price. Caught off guard, not only did they not gain any advantage, but because the force of the attack was too scattered, they were shot to death by the Ninth Banner's archers one by one in the outer areas, especially the barren grassland area that was originally used to restrict cavalry charges. The corpses of the mountain troops were lying all over the place. It is conservatively estimated that at least three to four thousand mountain troops were shot to death last night, and even more were injured.

In the mottled grass, he pushed aside the piles of human and horse corpses in front of him, completely ignoring the dripping blood. The Ninth Flag scout captain who was responsible for surveying the surroundings had an ugly face and pushed aside the blocking weeds one by one, searching for the answer he needed to know most. After a while, he came over with an ugly face and reported to Mulihe, "Sir, the enemy has indeed set up trip stakes and a large number of triangles in the grass. It is covered with grass. If you don't look closer, you can't see it at all. come out"

"How many?" Mulihe frowned slightly.

"The terrain is too wide, and I can't judge, but I can be sure that it's not just the front, but also the back of us. Normally, if the other party wants to use this method to trap us to death, Here, the spread area must be at least fifty meters, so as to stop our cavalry from forcibly breaking through."

"More than fifty meters!"

When Mulihe heard this number, his stern face couldn't help but be moved. He looked around and around. Shanzhong Province was crazy. He actually wanted to use these things to trap himself to death. He had spent a lot of money. When fighting in Gaul, the Gallic army would not play with these small tricks. Moreover, although the triangle iron, a sharp weapon used to block cavalry, is easy to use, it consumes a huge amount of iron. Even in the battle of the Imperial Group, it is not possible. It will spread out in all directions around itself on such a large scale,

But are the troops in the Shanzhong Province too naive? Do they really think that by covering all sides with these, they can trap themselves here?

My ninth flag is the frontier army. In addition to trying to block the enemy's main force's assault, the first responsibility of the frontier army is to quickly report the situation to the base camp in the rear. If a group is trapped and killed in a surprise attack, they will If you can't convey information, why are you called a frontier army?

From an experience point of view, if the other party did not lead me into the trap last night, it would have missed the best combat opportunity.

If he were the commander-in-chief of the Shanzhong Province, he would have launched a fierce attack with all his troops last night while his situation was still unclear. In order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, he might actually order the entire army to break out in one direction. , which is tantamount to diving headlong into what is in front of you. With this big net of triangular nails, the opponent only needs to make a steady and comprehensive encirclement, and he can easily capture and kill him. Unfortunately, the opponent wasted it in vain. Not only did not all the troops come up, but they also appeared after several failed attacks. Chaos, I found the opportunity to kill him once,

"Send a report to His Majesty and inform him of the location of the main force in the mountain province."

Mulihe raised his hand. The Imperial Army generally used specially trained homing pigeons for communications. However, as a frontline military force and a genuine Kugit, Mulihe’s ninth flag used prairie red. Eagle, this kind of eagle is not large in size, but it is It is so sturdy that it has the status of an overlord in the sky. The trained prairie red eagle is even more alert. There is no need to worry about the danger of being intercepted by other raptors on the way. Mulihe believes that under this sky, There should be no natural enemies of the prairie red hawk.

A small red dot quickly flew up and headed towards the sky

"We're starting to call for help. Will that person really come?"

Among the troops in the mountains in the distance, there was a young general with golden hair wearing a red shirt and a big red cloak. He looked like a ball of flames. He raised his head and looked at the red dot flying away in the air. His eyes were calm and scary. He was none other than Algernonkaja, who had been captured by the empire in the Battle of Southwest. Behind him, more than a dozen generals from the mountain provinces all had solemn expressions on their faces. There was no trace of the fact that there was no fight after a fierce battle last night. He was really discouraged, but instead he was exuding a determined spirit of violence. Using a triangle to trap the Imperial cavalry was originally just a stopgap, but the biggest purpose was actually to cause trouble to the Empire's largest cavalry mobile group that had entered the mountain area. An illusion is that the main force of the mountain province is here and wants to eat them. Only in this way can this high-mobility cavalry group be delayed here to the greatest extent possible.

Now that the emperor's flank has been exposed, this is the result that Algernon Katya has been demanding.

It is impossible to stop the emperor's advance in the mountains. Even if the main force in the mountains led by Algernon Julia is still there, the result will be the same. This is no longer a question of combat power, but because the empire has the ability to let all of them Just thinking about it will make you feel frustrated and want to give up resistance. Now, the Emperor of the Empire, the Falcon Army God who only took a few years to transform from a weak northwest barbarian tribe to sweep across the entire north-central region of Opalo like a hurricane that uprooted everything, only those who have actually fought against him will know. , what an irresistible existence this military god emperor is

"Are you all ready?" Algernonkaya retracted his gaze and looked at the generals behind him.

"Lord Katja is joking. Ever since the emperor drove into the mountains, I have known that life and death are no longer important. As a Gallic soldier, we have already awakened. The late emperor is watching me from the sky. Please give me an order. "A thin general said with a smile, and the other generals also had the same look.

The main reason for the destruction of Gaul was that the opponent's military emperor was too fierce. Millions of Gaul troops were defeated and defeated in battle after battle. Even Kyoto, which had an army of 200,000, In the end, he surrendered without a fight and opened the door.

If it were in the past, no one would be bold enough to think about this, but if people are forced to a dead end, then it is another matter.

Kill the emperor! Kill the Falcon Emperor!

This idea was like a huge whirlpool spinning in the minds of the Gallic generals. It seemed that just thinking about it made these Gallic generals feel that all the grief, anger and melancholy in the past two years had been relieved. Regardless of success or failure, this It’s all an explanation, an explanation to Gaul, an explanation to According to the instructions of the former Gallic emperor, surround the ninth flag, open the side of the emperor's advance line, attract the troops around the emperor, and weaken the troops around the emperor to the maximum extent. Maybe this will be successful, this idea Once it pops up, there's nothing you can do to stop it.

"General Ferron, here..."

Algernonkaja looked at a heavy-looking veteran behind him. In a few years, the huge empire of those days has become history. This military star, who is known as one of the golden figures of the young generation of Gaul, is now in his golden state. There was an obvious hint of white on both sides of his dazzling hair, which made his originally somewhat frivolous appearance feel more heavy with the years at this moment. In the Falcon Empire of Gaul, Algernonkaja fought from beginning to end, from the southwest to Daniel, to the capital of Gaul. He saw with his own eyes how many famous imperial generals were beheaded by the barbarians from the northwest one by one. As the empire's mountains and rivers are being torn down layer by layer, even if you were once a proud and arrogant empire star, you are now a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of the country's collapse.

"Don't worry, Lord Katya. I dare not say more. Before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the other side will not notice that our troops have been transferred. Even if the enemy's reinforcements arrive, I will fight to the death to attract the opponent's attention." Then The veteran named Ferron did not wait for Algernonkaja to finish speaking, and immediately replied respectfully,

He was left to lead some troops to contain him, not because he didn't want to fight to the death, but because someone had to stay. The other generals were younger than him. This raid on the emperor's rear was a challenge for his physical strength. Serious test, Ferron is still old after all

During the war between the empire and Gaul, all three of Ferron's sons died in the hands of the emperor. Because of this, Ferron did not choose to surrender to the emperor in Kyoto like other nobles, but ran away with all his belongings and slaves. Shanzhong Province, and donated all property to Alger free of charge Nongkajia was used to raise armaments. As Algernonkajia went to raid the emperor, even if it failed, it would be a highlight in history. And like Feron, who stayed as a containment, it would be inevitable after the enemy's reinforcements arrived. If he will die in battle, I'm afraid he won't even have a name in history!

"That's it, please."

Algernonkaja's eyes showed a hint of admiration. He raised his hand and gave a grand Gallic military salute to the veteran general Ferron. Then he waved his hand to the troops behind him and rode away. The other generals also stayed one by one. Ferron, who came down, saluted. Needless to say any mobilization, three thousand of the most loyal Gallic Guards cavalry The sound of horse hooves followed by soldiers swept across the earth like a strong wind, leaving behind invisible dust and slowly opening up the earth in a deserted silence. If this sky really belongs to the Falcon Empire, then Let this powerful blow that cut off the clouds and sky be the last swan song of the Gallic Guards.

Boom!

The sound of huge horse hooves came closer and closer. Three hours later, the noon sun had begun to become very fierce. Behind the army trapped in the mountains of the Ninth Banner, groups of dense cavalry formations began to emerge from a distance. It looks like a bunch of black lines that suddenly appeared in the hilly area and are pushing towards this side.

"Attention, Imperial reinforcements are coming!"

The army in the mountain was in chaos, with countless men and horses clamoring and swords flashing. Although they knew that the arrival speed of the imperial reinforcements would not exceed noon, they did not expect that the enemy's arrival speed would be so fast. The traces had been eliminated and they could be touched so quickly. , indeed worthy of being the Falcon Army! The veteran Fei Long said to himself solemnly. In order to deal with the emperor's attack, the area chosen not only had a large area of ​​grass where he could set up an ambush, but also had rolling hills, tidal flats, and wasteland that were crossed by a river. A short wooden stake full of spikes

"Sir, it's the ninth flag!"

An officer of the Gangfei Northern Army raised his whip and pointed at the imperial flag in the distance. Berlant Bonnie's pupils shrank. She looked at the situation of the Ninth Flag and saw the corpses of the Shanzhong Army on the battle line. She finally breathed a sigh of relief on the horse. Fortunately, it seemed that the main force of the Shanzhong Province did not get any benefits. Although the Ninth Flag was trapped, the situation did not look as bad as expected.

"Prepare for battle! Berlant Bonnie raised her hand, and the cavalry behind her began to spread out to the two wings in a strict battle formation. The 3,000 cavalry of the Gangfei Northern Army headquarters began to gather like a huge thorn. As they moved towards the center, the blood knife cavalry with more messy clothes were coming. These troops originally belonging to the blood knife group were not very good in combat, but The advantage is that they are all extremely fast light cavalry, which is just right as the main auxiliary. The counterpart to the slightly inferior Blood Blade Cavalry is the Yanzhou Heavy Cavalry of Bai Wufeng on the right side of Berlant Bonnie.

These Yanzhou cavalry, who are wearing heavy armor again, are all scale armor made in the Central Asian style. From the inner ring buckle armor to the outer tube armor, they are like human pillars surrounded by steel. The heavy cavalry heads with heavy swords that are nearly two meters long in their hands can almost fall to the ground. Just looking at them, people will feel a sense of hostility towards inhuman existence. The Yanzhou Heavy Cavalry, which was built with countless manpower and material resources of the Central Asian Empire and suppressed the killing and death of the northern grasslands, and made the grassland people dare not look south for more than a hundred years, has finally reappeared in the light of day

"Forward! "

The imperial messenger galloped between the teams, his red cloak fluttering behind him like the tail of a meteor that was about to pass through the sky. The loud command echoed throughout the land. The imperial cavalry in the middle of the huge front wing formed by the east and west cavalry began to rush forward like a comb, and thus rushed straight into the land where the army gathered in the mountains in front of them in the most straight way.
