607 Battle of Kyoto (2)

The setting sun shone on the crouched back of Fubailou. His angry eyes swept across the land in front of him, and he took a deep breath of the cold air of early spring.

The Thirteenth Mamunuk Regiment? Fubailou raised his head, with a wry smile on his pale lips. The entire Salander Kingdom knew that His Majesty the Sultan had 12 Mamunuk Knights directly under his command.

Three of them are in the hands of Duke Berent who is holding on to the northern front, two are under the command of Duke Linkson, the commander-in-chief of the western front, and four have been destroyed in the Battle of Molenburg in the raid on the Vic Territory. The last three are in their own In the hands of three brothers,

As for the so-called Thirteenth Mamunuk Knights Legion, they are basically new recruits who have not received enough training at all, their morale is low, many people are even war-weary, and their logistics supplies are insufficient, even the most basic weapons. cannot be fully equipped,

Fu Bailou knows very well that abroad, he is a prince, but at home, he is a joke.

Although most people expressed it in a subtle way, the slight contempt on the corners of the ministers' lips was so obvious that it pierced his heart like a needle. If it hadn't been for the news of his mother's death, he would never have wanted to return to this place full of filth and poverty. ugly place

In the words of the undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs who was responsible for establishing this army at the time, the reason why this army existed was because the adults were able to collect money easily.

As a result, I forgot about the number limit of each knight group. When I collected the money later, I found that all the knight groups were overstaffed by 20%. If I cram people in, they will not be able to achieve even the most basic combat effectiveness.

Prince Fubailou, who happened to have completed his studies, returned to China. According to past practices, the princes of Salander could be automatically promoted to commanders of the Mamunuk Army during the war.

So all the money-collecting bosses put their heads together and established the 13th Mamunuk Knights.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to set off."

A thinner figure climbed up the mountain road. His body was taller than Fubai Tower, but thinner. He looked like a bamboo pole or a clothes hanger.

The evening breeze blew the thin clothes on his body. He did not have any gorgeous aristocratic clothes. The empty sleeve on the left side was blown up, but he didn't feel it at all.

His left hand was cut off during the fiercest battle with the Normans in Kyoto. During those hours, he still stayed on the defensive line and sent any Salander he could see to the battlefield. . Including cooks and grooms, they all participated in the battle, and even his left ear had a small piece chipped off by the sharp arrowheads of the Norman Archery Legion.

He is the deputy assigned to Prince Fubailou this time▲The only military commander in the Kingdom of Rand who does not have the status of a Mamunuk knight, Baron Berntic,

Because His Royal Highness Fubailou is a commander without the status of a Mamunuk knight, this can put the entire Ministry of Military Affairs in trouble, not only because of his status as a prince, but also because he graduated from the highest military academy in the mainland, Pala Wen College, a certificate of graduating with honors from the Department of Command is enough to make everyone laugh.

In the end, the Ministry of Military Affairs selected an infantry squadron leader from the combat troops who also did not have the status of a Mamu knight. He was temporarily promoted to a general and then sent to the knight prince as his deputy.

"Tsk tsk, a cripple and a trash are a perfect match.

These were the exact words of the then Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Tarient, when he reviewed the Berntic file.

"Has the third prince's fourth legion already set off?".

Fubailou stood up from the slope, stared at the sunset in the distance, and asked without turning his head. Compared with those bombastic generals, this adjutant from a low-level background seemed to satisfy him more.

"His Royal Highness Foharis's 7,000 men have already departed from the Berroko Camp 30 minutes ago." Berntic looked at him curiously. Most of the low-level officers like him had mixed opinions about this prince. Most of them are hearsay.

The Salanders have always maintained a respect for the powerful kingdom across the sea with more than 100,000 elite knights. Although most of them have never been in contact with the country of Ruidian,

Because the region is in the south, the Salanders know that the reason why they can take root so stably on this southern island is because there is a country called Ruidian.

The same powerful southern overlord Nord was held back. Otherwise, the Salanders might have been conquered by the Nords hundreds of years ago. In fact, the Salanders have not always adopted a necessary defensive strategy.

More than 300 years ago, a young Sultan named Brother once ambitiously led an army of 40,000 Salanders across the border. He thought he could carve out a large territory in the chaotic continent of Ikadiva.

Unexpectedly, not long after landing, he was beaten by the Luds and ran back in disgrace.

From then on, Salander determined that there was no place for itself in this larger and broader area, and that the center of the kingdom should be placed in the vast south.

"In this case, let the legions assemble." Fubailou waved his hand to the somewhat blunt adjutant, "Yes, Your Highness." Adjutant Berntic saluted him and hurriedly ran down the mountain.

"Pop!" There was a huge impact sound, and a huge stone bullet, one meter wide, drew a shocking arc from the air, smashing into pieces a half-storey villa on the corner of the street, revealing the scattered remains of furniture inside. The huge cloud of smoke almost blinded people's eyes. Several Salander soldiers covered in ashes passed by these collapsed houses.

Everyone who hangs out here directly serves the war, and there are no idle personnel. Under the intensive bombardment of the trebuchets from the Dylans warship near the coast, this small city, which is only more than 400 meters long and wide, has been destroyed. Hundreds of rolling stones rolled over, and large areas of ruins were smashed into half. In the smoke and dust that rose from time to time, there was a pale and feeble decadence.

"Instruct all teams to take turns and rest"

Dylan Kelly looked at the city he had visited with cold eyes, pulled out the sharp sword from his waist, and stood on the flagship of Dylan's fleet "Xinhou\

,"Her eyes, as bright as a crescent moon, saw countless Dylans heavy infantrymen wearing black heavy armor, neatly arranging the weapons and shields in their hands, tightening the somewhat loose armor.

This morning, the Salander army finally arrived as scheduled. 10,000 infantrymen and nearly 3,000 Mamunuk knights started a face-to-face battle with the Dillens army guarding the port.

As Fatty expected, the movements of Dillens' army quickly attracted the attention of Salander Kyoto. However, the strength of Dillens's army made it difficult for the Salanders, who were mainly light infantry, to move. pharynx

Although there are only about 5,000 Dylans troops stationed on the shore this time, they are genuine heavy infantry with long spears and large shields. They have learned military formations from the regular army of Vikia, and Salander, who is good at maneuvering, is lightly armed. The infantry could not compete with the heavy infantry of Dillens who were armed to the teeth. The thin spears could not penetrate the armor and shields of the heavy infantry. Instead, the infantry of Dillens, who were not numerically superior, advanced all the way.

40 Dylans battleships fully loaded with trebuchets lined up like giant beasts on the seaside outside the Port of Bocu. More than 200 trebuchets of various sizes launched an attack on the dilapidated Port of Boco at the same time. ,

The "pull" winchman's bare upper body was covered with sweat. The winch in his hand made a tight creaking sound. The heavy stone bullets were pushed in with difficulty by the two soldiers, making bursts of dull squeezing sounds in the throwing basket. ,

With the captain's shout, the trebuchet's rope was cut off by the winchman.

"Bang!" a whistling sound cut through the air, and the huge head shot under the attention of everyone, like a black meteor being shot into the sky, rushing towards the pure blue sky

After drawing a beautiful and strange arc, it fell rapidly as if it had lost its center of gravity, and then slammed into the densely packed Salander infantry queue. "Ah!" screams of screams came one after another, and each wave of rocks Hundreds of people were hit by bombs, and bloody corpses could be seen everywhere.

"Oh my god." A young Salander recruit sat down on the ground in fright. The hellish scene in front of him made his face pale. Several of his companions were hit by stone bullets that fell on their heads, and pieces of flesh mixed with bones spattered. cum on his face,

The bright red human blood and mutilated limbs paved a shocking blood trail about ten meters long on the hillside where the stone bullets rolled. The hot blood and minced meat just hung on the spitted stones, and the gray stone bullets At this moment, it completely turned into a bloody red color.

"Damn it." A veteran with scars on his face spat on the ground with the same ugly expression. This way of death was too cruel, but the enemy had the advantage of the battleship trebuchet, and the fierce projectile attack completely ignored any defense line

Although the accuracy of the long-distance projectile was not accurate enough, it was enough to put a lot of psychological pressure on many Salander recruits who were temporarily recruited. Some of them were trembling with fear before the Dillens on the opposite side could rush over. Unable to even hold the stabbing spear in their hands, the veterans behind them had to use sharp blades and spears to drive them back, forming a pile of flesh and blood walls to block the Vecian army from advancing.

Behind this ruins full of falling rocks, there are three small hillsides with an altitude of less than 100 meters, which just form a Z-shape, forming the most powerful support point to block the advancement of Dillens' army.

On the top of these hills, 5,000 Salander light infantrymen were working hard to support two long diagonal lines of defense, fighting with the Dylans heavy infantry rushing up from the opposite side.

"kill"

During the battle that lasted for several hours, the offensive of the Dillens army, like the usual brave style of the Dillens people, crashed on these small hillsides like a sea wave.

The corpses of Salander soldiers lay scattered all over the slope. Most of them had been shot in the front and fell. Their thin leather armor was pierced by the heavy spears of the Dylans into bloody holes. The bright red blood covered their feet. The land was dyed a muddy red, and the rolling stones in the sky had already fallen down at this moment.

Within a few hours, the three hills where Dylans's heavy infantry stood were as stable as Mount Tai. The flag of Lord Salander was fluttering lonely and helplessly in the wind.

The golden sunset shines on this slope, like a sky full of rays of light that dyes the ground red
