Section 7 Warren's Victory(1/2)
On August 2, 779 in the Imperial Calendar, the Imperial Capital City woke up early: Today was the day when Sterling, the commander of the Central Army, led an army of 150,000 to reinforce Wallen Fortress. Chief Zichuan Shenxing gave a farewell party to the army and gave him wine. Because
The soldiers of the Central Army were mainly the children of the imperial capital. Millions of residents lined the streets to watch the mighty army, trying to find the figures of their relatives in the ranks - the old mother held her son's hand and shed tears, and the newlywed wife hugged her husband tightly and burst into tears.
There were cries and boos.

Commander Sterling was the focus of everyone's attention today. The commander and all members of the command office were escorted more than ten kilometers away from the city. Finally, after Sterling repeatedly knelt down, the commander reluctantly held his hand and said: "
Sterling, this is where I send you off. You know, my family is looking forward to the news of your victory day and night!"
Sterling was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down and said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely put an end to the rebellion and restore peace as soon as possible! If not, Sterling would rather die on the battlefield than have the face to see you again!"
Zichuan Shenxing said "hiss" and whispered to Sterling: "Such unlucky words! Victory or defeat is common in military affairs. I just want you to come back safely. You know, I don't have a son, and I have always regarded you as my biological son."
I think so..." He said with tears streaming down his face.
"Li Qing is here too, do you want to go and have a word with her?"
Sterling had already seen Li Qing's figure in the farewell procession, but he just nodded to her and said: "My lord, I am shouldering the important responsibilities of the country. It is not appropriate for children to be affectionate at this time. I would like to trouble you to express my gratitude to Li Qing."
The flag book conveys the greetings of the subordinate."
"Alas, even though it is said that you are a man who forgets his homeland, but Sterling, you are too...unhuman, you are too strong!"
Li Qing's face was pale, and Zichuan Shenxing was sighing - none of them noticed that Commander Sterling had been a little absent-minded today, looking at the crowd of farewells from time to time, and then looking away in disappointment...

"I said, sister Kadan, since you have followed me all the way here, why don't you go up and have a word with Brother Sterling?" Zi Chuanning asked Kadan in confusion.
Cardin wore a hazy veil and kept staring at Sterling's figure who was embraced by everyone. He shook his head gently: "In my capacity, if I go up at this time, it will make things difficult for Mr. Si..."
A drop of hot liquid dripped onto Zichuan Ning's hand. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Kadan's beautiful face through the veil: "You're crying..."
Zi Chuanxiu, who was accompanying them, sighed silently and sighed: "Since ancient times, behind the national conquests are often the tears of women. Even outstanding men and women like Sterling and Cardin cannot escape the exception..."
Zi Chuanxiu was thinking deeply and sighing while...
"Brother, why are you putting your hands on the girl in front of you?"
"Oh, I think she is too sad, and I want to comfort her..."
"Pa!" A loud slap in the face, a woman standing in front of Zichuan Xiu turned around with an angry face: "Rogue! You want to take advantage of me - my husband followed Mr. Sterling to the Far East and fought for the country through life and death - he
You are bullying me here as a single woman - is there any justice in the world?"
The woman's words aroused public anger, and the crowd surrounded them with fists and palms...
"Ha, ha, ha, everyone, listen to my explanation - obviously this is a misunderstanding!"
"I have always been the noble messenger who loves to protect my family the most...haha...how could I do such a thing?"
"Listen to me, this is a complete accident - due to various factors such as time, space, atmospheric circulation, earth's magnetic field, and gravity, my hand just accidentally touched the protruding part of the lower half of this lady's back.
There was a certain overlap of positions - it was an arrangement of fate, no one is to blame, haha..."
"Oh, don't do it - Aning, Kadan, where are you two going? Why don't you explain it to me quickly!"
"Oh, we are just passing by and don't know this gangster - you can do whatever you want!"
"You ungrateful guy! - Oh, don't kick that place, it hurts...Help!"

On August 6, the battle for Wallen Fortress reached its most critical moment. After more than ten days of continuous attacks, the rebels finally opened a gap in the solid wall of Wallen. Hundreds of thousands of rebels shouted "Wow!" and came out of the gap.
At this time, Wallen City was already fully mobilized, and there was no reserve team that could block the gap. Luo Bo, the deputy commander of the Far East Army, and Lin Bing looked at the overwhelming rebels outside the city, and smiled bitterly.——Arrived
At this point, they are indeed at the end of their rope, and they are ready to commit suicide and die for their country...
Lin Bing raised his sword and said with emotion: "The only regret I have is that I didn't see Lei Hong, the murderer of your Excellency, die in front of us... It's unfair!"
Luo Bo held her hand: "Wait a minute!"
"Now that we've come to this point, what are you waiting for - maybe you want to confess, right?"
"Damn bitch, how long have you been talking like this? The rebels are acting very strangely!"
Indeed, there was a rapid sound of gongs from the rebel formation, which sounded like the joy of imminent victory. Flags were waving everywhere, the messengers were running back and forth, and the officers were shouting loudly, their voices showing panic. The queues were adjusted in a hurry, and the soldiers hesitated.
He stopped and was at a loss - very panicked! ...There was a booming sound from the northwest!
The two deputy commanders, who thought they would die, looked at each other and said at the same time: "Have the reinforcements arrived!? So soon?" In excitement, their hands were held tightly together!
※※※
"An army appears from the northwest!"
"It's the human army! Sir, reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived!"
"They are all cavalry! The number is unknown!"
"Sir, you can see the flag clearly! It's the Central Army! The Central Army is here!"
"Sterling...is Sir Sterling's army!"
"Long live! Long live the Commander-in-Chief! Long live the Central Army! Lord Sterling - long live!"
As if to prove their words, the cavalry roared deafeningly: "Yarimei!" - This is undoubtedly the battle cry of the Central Army's charge!"
Luo Bo and Lin Bing were surprised: How come it came so fast!?
※※※
After the army left the imperial capital, Sterling gathered the powerful cavalry in the army and formed ten cavalry divisions and twenty infantry divisions. Then he believed that rescuing troops was like putting out fires, and despite the objections of his subordinates, he ordered the legion to
Vice-commander Qin Lu led the infantry to continue advancing, while he himself led the cavalry and rushed to Wallen non-stop day and night - and as a result, set a new record for forced marches: from the imperial capital to Far East Wallen in just four days.
Arriving at the battlefield, Sterling saw that the rebels were in chaos due to their hasty U-turn, and immediately ordered: "All the troops, charge at me!"
The staff officer objected: "Sir, there is a huge disparity in the numbers between us and the enemy. Our army has become exhausted from afar - why not go ahead and rest in Wallen and wait for the arrival of the army before making plans?"
Sterling: "Our army has recently arrived, and its morale is high! The rebels have been unable to attack Wallen for more than ten days. They have lost their vigor and are frightened and confused because they do not know the strength of our army - this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
※※※
The rebel camp hurriedly turned around. In a panic, they only had time to mobilize six infantry phalanxes with Orcs as the main force to resist. As long as they could block Sterling's troops for a while, the army could calmly gather and deploy with superior strength.
Siege!
Thousands of powerful orcs waved their giant hands and screamed wildly.
The Central Army roared: "Yarimei!" The horse's hooves were thundering, and the neat queue quickly pressed against the orcs like a black wall!
Thousands of arrows were fired! The orcs in the front row fell to the ground and struggled, screaming.
The rebels and the Far Eastern Army who were watching the battle at the top of the city were all surprised: "How come Sterling's troops are all archers? They are shooting arrows while approaching and attacking - how can the archer troops attack?"
When the shock troops arrived within a hundred meters of the rebels, Sterling's clear voice spread to every corner of the battlefield: "The forward troops exchanged spears!"
With a "swipe" sound, the cavalry of the Central Army, which was running rapidly, took off their bows and arrows and put on their spears at the same time - their crisp and uniform movements showed that the Central Army was worthy of being the most elite unit of the family, and could do many things while running rapidly.
Such a perfect movement made the rebels tremble with fear - the horse's speed did not slow down at all, the cavalry began to lower their bodies, and their spears were neatly one and a half meters beyond the horse's body.
The second half of the Central Army cavalry was still firing arrows, increasing the casualties and confusion of the rebels.
The two armies are getting closer and closer, fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters...
※※※
A roar like thunder: "Yarimei!"
The other side was shouting at the same time: "Wow! Wow!"
The bloody battle begins!
With the huge impact, the cavalry easily pierced the hard bodies of the orcs with their spears - some even pierced two or three together and picked them up - the orcs in the second row began to use wooden clubs, iron
The club counterattack knocked the cavalry off their horses - the cavalry behind them put on sabers suitable for close combat and split the orcs into two pieces... In an instant, hundreds of human soldiers rolled to the ground - they were struggling in the distance
Missing relatives will never see them again - at the same time, thousands of orcs were stabbed and hacked to death...
The following troops showed no signs of confusion and continued to attack - all of them rushed in in an instant, and the melee began!
Sterling's troops also have an absolute advantage in numbers, and their weapons and equipment are far superior to the rebels' wooden clubs and shovels. To deal with the huge power of the orcs, human soldiers often fight in formations, with three groups fighting one and a half
The orcs kill the unorganized by being organized, and they cooperate seamlessly. The rebels are a hastily formed army after all. Faced with this kind of melee that tests cooperation and courage, it is even more difficult to resist the well-trained and well-cooperated regular army. They can only fight on their own - no
By five minutes, six orc divisions were scattered and fled in all directions.
Sterling roared, and the scattered troops formed a dreamlike formation into a majestic phalanx.
"Ignore the scattered troops and attack the enemy's base camp!"
※※※
The soldiers who were inspired by the victory in the first battle shouted again: "Yarime!", like hungry wolves, they pounced on the enemy's main force that had just withdrawn from the siege and had no time to form a team - and saw the murderous cavalry.
In a short time, all the powerful orcs were killed. Many snakes, dragons, and dwarves had already begun to rub oil on their feet. After all, they were a mob. They looked fierce when they won. They panicked when the battle situation was slightly unfavorable.
Want to escape.
The remaining people were a little hesitant: should they follow the officers' orders to line up to block the attack, or should they follow their example and run away together... - Before they could think clearly, the cavalry had already rushed into their midst, screaming repeatedly.
To be continued...
