Chapter 347 [Rodria! Forward(1/2)
Chapter 347 [Rodrea! Go forward!!!]
The muffled thunder in the sky had been ringing for a night, and the thick ink-like clouds were pressing harder and lowered. It seemed that as long as you stand in place and reach out and jump gently, you could touch the clouds. Among the clouds, lightning flashed like a silver snake swimming quickly, and then there was a thunder like a sigh...
In the wilderness, Hughes was surrounded by dozens of elite-armored knights and rushed towards the distance. Hughes couldn't help but breathe a dirt slope about five or six meters high on the side of the road. Hughes suddenly whipped the war horse under his crotch and rushed up the hillside. He looked into the distance. When he saw the address ahead, Hughes couldn't help but take a breath and blurted out: "State!"
Under the earth slope, the rebels of the Armenian Military Region were marching rapidly. In front of them was a light cavalry of a flag regiment, and all of them were equipped with high-quality light armor produced in Armenia. This armor was made of light iron refined from the iron ore produced in Armenia. It was light and strong. There was no torch at night. Looking around, the black horse team leaned forward like a river.
It is already thirty miles away from Oskilla. The originally flat Oskilla imperial plain began to gradually appear here. These hillsides looked like small raised soil buns on the plain. On the left side is the hillside at Hughes's feet. The road under the hillside has a flat terrain on both sides. In the distance, it is a muddy area. It was originally a river. During the rainy season, the water is abundant every year, but when the dry season comes, the riverbed is dry and becomes flat.
Originally, the rainy season had just passed these days, and the river should have been abundant, but after all, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered under the city of Osgilia recently. The river extends to outside the city of Osgilia. The hundreds of thousands of rebels have consumed water, causing the river to dry up and become a muddy area.
The dark clouds in the sky are so thick that I am afraid that this heavy rain will be brewing, and the air will be wet and stuffy, which will almost make people breathless.
Hughes wiped the sweat from his forehead hard and swung the whip: "Where is my heavy armored infantry! What about the axe and gun regiment and the crossbow regiment! Why haven't it come up yet! It's too slow, too slow!"
He looked at the advance of the vanguard cavalry under his feet and whispered: "Send someone to the back to urge! They have fallen too far! Once the vanguard cavalry launches an attack, the subsequent team cannot keep up. How can this be done!"
The elite armored knights behind him were his guards. After hearing the governor's words, he immediately divided up a few to go to the back to drive horses and send orders.
Hughes looked on the hillside for a while, then turned around and ran backwards.
The three thousand cavalry that led the lead was the vanguard of the Armenian rebels. Before setting off, the three thousand cavalry had been repaired for many days, and they were full of energy. Even the war horses were raised for many days, and they were full of horsepower. They were all energetic on the road in the wilderness at night. The cavalry's cavalry was like a sharp steel forest.
Hughes rushed to the back and saw more than ten riders rushing towards him, surrounded by several generals. He immediately stopped him and shouted, "Why are you so slow!"
This person came was a general of the corps in the back team. He had always been Hughes's confidant general. He was commanding an elite heavy armored corps in the Armenian Military Region. The general was angry when he saw Hughes, and ran to the front, without wearing a helmet. He let his hair go away with sweat, and said in a thick voice: "Governor! The cavalry in front ran too fast, and our infantry had only two legs, but they could not catch up with their four legs! We are heavy armored infantry, and people can still run away, but the soldiers' heavy armored axe spears have to be pulled up by big chariots. It was raining a few days ago. The soil on the ground was wet and soft, and a row of big chariots behind could not be pushed up! The armour was on the chariots, so the soldiers could not run up with their hands to fight."
Hughes looked angry and scolded, "Damn it! When is today! This battle determines the life and death of the entire Armenian army! If you dare to drag back and delay the fighter plane, do you think I dare not cut you!" He said fiercely, "For a quarter of an hour! If your brigade still can't get here, don't blame me for being rude!"
When the general heard this, although he was full of cowardice, he could only bear the anger, waved his whip and whipped his subordinates a few times, and shouted: "Are they all dead people? I didn't hear the order of the Governor! Go and urge! Even if I carry it on my shoulders, I will carry the convoy for me!!"
Hughes ignored him and ran down the back to the horse. He attacked at night. Although he was confident that he had seized the best opportunity, as long as this battle was successful tonight, the empire's emperor was gone, and Osgilia would definitely surrender without a fight!
Although the Rodria cavalry was strong, the opponent had been dragging here for more than a month. The lack of supplies for weapons and food was already exhausted. A few days ago, he had subconsciously retreated the army and repaired it with sufficient supplies. With the advantage of military strength, the possibility of success was reached 80%!
Rodria cavalry? Humph! Are they really invincible!
Holding the burning excitement in his heart, Hughes rushed all the way to the back of the team. Tens of thousands of people rushed at night, and suddenly there was a long long dragon that was missing from the head and tail on the wilderness. The cavalry in front rushed too fast, but the infantry behind fell behind and there was a tendency to drag further and further away. How could Hughes not be in a hurry?
After running for a meal, he finally ran to the back. Seeing the infantry team scattered, although the officers were urging hard, the road was muddy, and several heavy armored chariots were trapped in the road. The horses neighed, which made Hughes feel angry. He turned over and jumped off the horse, pulled out his long sword, and rushed to the front of a big cart. Seeing the officers shouting, they were yelling, and Hughes was furious. He kicked him to the ground one by one, and with a crack, he immediately chopped off the head of an officer!
Hughes' eyes were on fire and he roared: "How important is the army rushing to attack! You two bastards are still quarreling here!"
He is the governor, and a group of elite armored knights around him had already rushed up. Hughes said angrily: "Both get out of here and chopped my head and threw it on the side of the road! If there are any delays, they will be chopped down! For a quarter of an hour, the road will not be sank, kill the team officer! If the team officer dies, the road will not be sank, kill the flag group and the flag!! What I want is time!!"
At this moment, I was anxious. The "noble governor" finally didn't care about the noble demeanor and said it was a big deal.
His killing was an immediate effect. In a short while, the carriage on the road was dragged out by the shocked generals to the side. The road was cleared and the team continued to move forward again.
Hughes stood by the road, but a trace of gloom came to his heart.
In terms of equipment, the Armenian army, which has high-quality iron ore produced in Armenia, has always been the most excellent among the military regions on the mainland, the selection of the army is also strong, and the training has never been slacked off on weekdays. Even the military pay is the richest on the road, and high officials are generous, so I have never stingy, but when it comes to this critical moment, I always seem to have lost such a breath.
(Tonight, after tonight, after I pacify Osgilia and build the kingdom, I must build a real iron army! Otherwise, Hughes will be full of revenge, how can I achieve it?)
Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a rapid military horn sound coming from the northwest of the road. The horn sounded suddenly, as if it had suddenly cut through the quiet night, and even faintly, as if there was a bit of panic.
Hughes immediately changed his face and said angrily: "How come there is a trumpet! We rush to the enemy at night and blew the trumpet before we arrived. Wouldn't it reveal our army's whereabouts!!"
In a rage, he turned over and shouted, "Send two people to the front!! Hurry up!"
This bugle was issued by the Armenian Rebel Pioneer Cavalry Regiment running in front.
The vanguard's three thousand cavalry had already run away to drag the brigade behind for nearly two miles. The generals who were leading the army were still somewhat sensible. They noticed the disconnect between their team and the brigade and were willing to slow down. However, Hughes rushed forward just now and passed the orders, only urging the entire army to speed up and move forward. After the order was suppressed, the cavalry general could only pinch his nose and obey orders, desperately urging his cavalry to rush onto the road.
Finally, less than half a mile ahead of the dirt slope, the cavalry generals finally stopped slightly. They knew that this would not work. The troops were too disconnected from each other, so they quickly sent people to the back to find Hughes to ask for orders, should we delay the advance and wait for the brigade behind.
The cavalry sent out the order, and the three thousand cavalry had already stopped. During the rapid march, they suddenly stopped. The sight was unclear in the darkness and the command was not timely. Suddenly, the formation of the three thousand cavalry was crowded together.
The officers were busy calling for the soldiers to pull out the queue. Suddenly, a thunder sound came from a distance!
The rumbling sound seemed to come from the sky. In the distant wilderness, it was originally pitch black, but suddenly a lightning flashed across the sky and the world suddenly became bright!
The cavalry at the forefront of the team immediately saw the distance clearly at this moment!!
In front of the northwest, above the flat wilderness, it seemed like a black hillside, pouring down here frantically! Looking closely, there was no mountain? It was like a tide, spreading flat on the wilderness, like a stream of iron!!
Countless horse hooves hit the ground hard, just like thousands of drums at the same time. The rumbling sound had already suppressed the thunder in the sky!!!
"Cabinet! Cavalry!!!"
I don’t know who was the first to shout like this, and the commotion spread throughout the Armenian vanguard cavalry regiment!
"It's a cavalry!!"
"Rodians!!"
"It's Rodria!! The Romanian cavalry has come out!!"
The Armenian cavalry were lined up in place, and there was already a little confusion. When he shouted, panic suddenly fell into everyone's heart like contagion! The sound of hoofs in the distance was rushing for a while, but in just a short while, it brought much closer!
"Cross! Cross! Cross!!"
The officers shouted anxiously, waving their whips and sabers, and urging the cavalry to line up. But the sound of horse hooves in the distance was like a death talisman, getting closer and closer!
Although this Armenian cavalry is well-trained, it has not really fought many tough battles after all. This situation suddenly occurs at this moment. Even if the officers and generals urge it, they have trained countless times on weekdays and are already familiar with the queues, but they can't get the list at this moment!
"It's too late!"
The cavalry general who led the army was still a sensible person. Although he was also angry, he was originally going to attack the Rodria cavalry! But how did he think that when he ran halfway, he had already shot out one step ahead, and instead caught him off guard?
Seeing that the vanguard of the Rodria cavalry who was running from afar was less than a single arrow from the original formation, there was no time to wait for the team to line up before charging!
He felt aggrieved, snatched the military horn from the officer next to him, and shouted: "Shangya Formation! Charge! Charge!!"
Immediately, my cheeks were puffed and my horn was blowing hard!
As soon as he heard the military horn, among the Armenian cavalry, the cavalry that had lined up in front of him had already rushed out, but the cavalry behind had not yet lined up, so he could only grit his teeth and twitch forward and twitch up. As a result, the cavalry of the three thousand people had a uniform queue, but when they reached the middle, they became chaotic. When they arrived at the back, they were simply a mess.
The light cavalry from the second flag regiment of the Rodria cavalry came from the northwest. Three thousand Rodria light cavalry were ordered to fight the enemy in front. Less than a moment before the entire army set out, a scout reported that a rebel cavalry brigade appeared in front of him.
Before leaving, the officers from the 13th Corps were already aware of the danger of the battle, but they did not expect that the rebels had already run down their noses not far from their base.
When the scout came to his return, he heard the news, but the flag-holding general of the Rodria Second Flag Regiment had no hesitation at all. The Imperial Flag Commander, who had already been determined to die, just coldly made the shortest order:
"Run over!"
The second flag regiment, which was originally just moving forward at a slow speed, suddenly pulled out at the fastest speed after receiving the order, and then accelerated and rushed towards him after a sharp whistle!
However, by one arrow, the cavalry of both sides were hedging again. In almost the blink of an eye, two iron streams collided head-on in the wilderness!
Two steel torrents suddenly burst into a dazzling metal light at the intersection of the front. The sound of horse hooves like thunder suppressed all the screams and screams. Only thrilling sounds were heard. In the first wave of the cavalry running in the front, countless people were caught!
The Rodria cavalry's queue was still as dense as the vanguard's queue was still intact. Even if the companions were dropped, these fierce Rodria cavalry would not even look at it. They just lay tightly on the horse's back, holding their rifles, and galloping forward with red eyes!
The Armenian cavalry was defeated almost irresistibly after the first charge! When the two armies collided, the Armenian cavalry, who had barely maintained a complete charge formation in the front row, barely blocked the charge momentum of the Rodria cavalry, but it was just a stone thrown in the iron stream, which was nothing more than a splash of waves. But then the Rodria cavalry's courageous charge momentum immediately cut the loose Armenian cavalry's brigade!
It was like a steel knife cutting into soft butter, straight and unstoppable!
The Armenian cavalry team quickly collapsed. After being directly drilled through the team by the Rodria cavalry, the cold and fierce eyes of the Rodria cavalry and the sabers waving, harvesting the heads of the rebels. The first wave of rebels who were knocked down from the horse had no chance to turn over and escape. They were trampled into meat mud by the gang of cavalry that rushed up immediately, and countless horse hooves were trampled into meat mud!
Human life is worthless at this moment!
As the team collapsed, the Armenian cavalry no longer had the courage to move forward. I don’t know who was the first to shout. Countless people began to disperse in all directions, and some even turned around and ran away, but instead messed up the queue of their own rushing up from behind.
After the cavalry of the Second Flag Regiment easily drilled the enemy's formation, they immediately separated from the two wings with dexterity. The cavalry waved their sabers to drive away the dispersed enemy cavalry. Crying sounds came from all directions, with their heads rolling and their broken limbs flying...
One meeting! Just one meeting, the three thousand Armenian cavalry have turned into nothing!
Rodria's warlock rang. Under the rapid warlock, the cavalry gave up their pursuit of the defeated enemy and quickly gathered in the center of the road, and re-arranged the team.
"Forward." The flag-holding officer issued an order.
"Sir! The enemy cavalry has arrived here. I think there must be a brigade ahead, we..."
The flag-holding officer of the Second Flag Regiment glanced at the deputy beside him and said coldly: "We are the pioneers! One of us will rush to Osgilia after the order tonight! Apart from that, there is no doubt! Even if there is a wall in front, we can only face it and run into it! If we all die, naturally, the colleagues behind us will help us complete the remaining tasks - to move forward!"
Without rectification and clearance of the battlefield, the cavalry continued to head towards Osgilia.
It has to be said that the biggest weakness in the original marching plan was seriously disconnected from the front and rear, but at this moment, it saved Hughes.
Although his Armenian cavalry regiment was defeated, he had given him a chance to breathe and deal with it because he was too far away from the brigade!
Hughes was standing by the roadside, his face was already pale! He didn't hear the sound of fighting just now in the distance! But the sound of fighting lasted for a moment, as if it suddenly broke out and suddenly ended in a hurry!
Too short! Too short!!
Hughes felt his heart shrinking violently!
Did the front army encounter an enemy? Is it Rodria's scout team? But the sound of the fight is too short, right?
Then he saw his subordinates running wildly on horseback. Before he could even come in front of him, Hughes had already seen the defeated cavalry appearing in front of the road - it was his own people!!
The defeated Armenian cavalry looked extremely desolate, and almost none of them were holding weapons. Most of them just hugged the horse's neck and closed their eyes and ran all the way. Then the defeated cavalry was only about two or three hundred, but they were dragged down, with a team of hundreds of meters!
Before the subordinate who came back to report, Hughes was already riding a horse and rushing down: "Line! Line up!"
The cavalry in front was defeated so quickly and so suddenly, and the large group behind them caught off guard.
Hughes roared angrily, and the generals of the corps under his command had already started to move quickly. The cart that had been delayed on the road was now ordered to simply rise. The rushing military horn sounded, and the infantry marching were urged by the officers to gather together.
The crossbowman behind also pulled up. Just below this hillside, the Armenian rebels seized the precious time of breathing. What's ridiculous is that this precious time of breathing was obtained by their marching before.
More than a dozen large cars were crisscrossing the road in a mess. One by one, the infantry formations were barely arranged. Although the soldiers were still a little panicked, after Hughes ordered the supervisory team to cut down dozens of heads, the array was finally arranged.
To be continued...
