Seeing the red cloak approaching, the grumbling German soldier shut his mouth. Under the supervision of the battle team, the German infantry trudged through the night. Although there were torches, the effect was limited, but it still had some effect.
Many people fell into the cave and were seriously injured. Valan directly ordered them to be killed. Now they were marching in a hurry and faced a fierce battle. They had no energy to take care of the seriously injured, so they could only spare them the pain.
In this high-pressure state, the German soldiers did not dare to say anything and carried out the orders mechanically. The composition of the infantry of more than 2,000 people was quite complicated, including not only members of the eastern nobles, but also members of the southern blacksmith families and the Lorraine nobles.
Man. Valan has no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures at all times. At this time, he must be ruthless, otherwise these rebellious soldiers will definitely cause trouble.
This road is extremely difficult to walk. In order to complete this mountain road, the Germans paid a price of more than 40 people. You know, this is the result of no one attacking. After the mountain road, you will reach the northern valley range. To the east of the valley road is
There is a towering birch forest. No one has come to the forest all year round. Thick leaves are piled up. The moisture is corroding and there is a strong musty smell. "Tuskto, after this birch forest is the valley road, we want to
Be more careful.”
Tuskto nodded with a heavy expression. He didn't know whether he should blame Varan, but from Valan's perspective, there was nothing wrong with him forcing the army to march at night. But Tuskto couldn't accept it in his heart.
He is a small Lorraine vineyard lord and is not very interested in the war that took place in the Istrian highlands. But now there is no turning back. When he comes to the birch forest, he has to fight even if he doesn't want to fight. Many times he still has to fight.
It depends on Varan's face. After all, in today's Holy Empire, the Saxon nobles and the great eastern nobles really have the right to speak. The Danube nobles have only risen in recent years.
After resting for about two hours, the tired soldiers ate something and then continued through the birch forest. But just as they were about to walk out of the birch forest, an accident happened.
The birch forest to the east of the valley road was not unguarded. After the First Military Camp stormed the valley road, it had already thought about the safety of the rear of the valley road, so it sent a team of 500 people to defend the birch forest. The commander-in-chief Lei Jiang was personally responsible for this.
Since the small team was stationed in the birch forest, the forest has been very quiet and nothing happened. Lei Jiang did not dare to be too careless and still sent people to search the forest.
It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but a patrol unexpectedly discovered traces of the Germans. From then on, a fierce battle involving the life and death of the First Military Camp began in the birch forest. The German soldiers did not expect to encounter the first German soldiers in the birch forest.
When the patrol team in the military camp was exposed, they could only speed up their march. Valan showed a ferocious face and shouted in a domineering tone, "The Orientals are busy attacking the valley road, and the soldiers and horses stationed in the birch forest will definitely not
There are too many. Sons of Germany, follow me and rush forward, kill all the Easterners and block the valley road."
Varan was like a furious lion. The exhausted Germans were inspired and rushed towards the edge of the forest howling. This piece of birch forest was not big. The patrol team had just fought, and Lei Jiang, who had the rear, got it.
When he heard the news that a large number of Germans had entered the birch forest, Lei Jiang's heart sank. Lei Jiang was also a fierce man who worked his way up from the grassroots level. Of course he knew the intentions of the Germans in the birch forest. If
If the Germans were allowed to walk out of the birch forest, the future of the thousands of soldiers who remained fighting in the valley would be bleak. He grabbed the injured patrol soldier and asked eagerly, "How many people are there on the other side?"
"I don't know the details, but judging from the current situation, the number of people is definitely no less than a thousand." Hearing this number, Lei Jiang was stunned. There are more than a thousand people. How can he hold it with the few troops under his command?
There is no danger to defend the Baihua Forest, and there are not enough traps. If we fight hard, I am afraid that not many of his men can survive. But Lei Jiang does not dare to retreat, and he cannot retreat. If he retreats, the Baihua Forest soldiers will
The horse was saved, but the main army in the valley road had to be wiped out. Taking a deep breath, Lei Jiang raised the back of his hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination.
, turned to his deputy general Han Pianglu and said, "Old Han, you immediately lead a few people to the valley road and tell the commander to withdraw from the battle quickly."
Han Penglu seemed to feel something. He grabbed Lei Jiang's arm and shook his head heavily, "No, Lei Dutong, it's better for you to inform me, and I will lead the people to stay."
"Old Han, stop talking. I am the commander of the capital and the commander of this army. If I leave, what will my subordinates think? Don't hesitate. If you delay for a moment, you will be in more danger." Lei Jiang pushed
Han bypassed the road and strode out of the military tent. The Germans came very quickly. All this was due to Varan's decisiveness. With Varan, a captain who took the lead, no one else dared not to rush forward. A large number of Germans
The people rushed to the temporary station. They could not form a tight formation in the birch forest and could only spread out and fight. This made the Germans' military advantage more vividly displayed.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Jiang's troops were entangled with the Germans. Han Panglu gritted his teeth and glanced in the direction of Lei Jiang with his red eyes, then got on his horse and left in a hurry.
In the battle of Baihualin, both sides had no skills at all. The infantry formation that the Northern Shanxi Army had always relied on could not be used, and the shields could only resist on a small scale. However, the Germans had a large number of troops and surrounded them directly. The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army could only retreat step by step.
Hua Xi is a Slavic farmer, and he has only been in the Northern Shanxi Army for a month. But at this time, he is like a veteran of the Northern Shanxi Army, bravely blocking the attacks of the Germans again and again.
The Germans saw Hua Xi's bravery, and a dozen German soldiers roared loudly while eating wooden shields, "Come together, kill this bearded man, and avenge our brothers."
For a time, the Germans shared the same hatred. Four heroic German compatriots had died at the hands of this bearded man, so he had to pay the price. Huaxi grabbed a shield and slammed it into the nearest German soldier like a bomb.
One German soldier was unprepared. His chest was hit several times and several ribs were broken. When the others saw this, they were immediately jealous and rushed towards Huaxi. Several broad swords stabbed Huaxi at the same time, allowing Huaxi to continue again.
How amazing, it was still a mortal body, the blood was sprinkled on the thick birch leaves, and after just a moment, it turned into red crystals in the cold wind.
Lei Jiang's troops were retreating steadily, but the birch forest was so big, where could they retreat? Behind him was the exit of the birch forest. Lei Jiang had nowhere to retreat. He vomited a mouthful of blood, raised his hand and slowly took off his helmet.
When he came down, his blood-stained hair was frozen stiff, and his mouth was open, revealing an inexplicable desolation, "Brothers, behind us are five thousand comrades. If we retreat, they will die. We will die."
They can give birth. Tell me if we want to retreat!"
The language was rough and straightforward, without any sense of beauty, but the short sentence was full of emotion and appeal. The surrounding soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army all stared with anger, roared loudly, and some people pulled off their hats.
, smearing the blood on his face, "Never retreat, never retreat, Qin Feng... Qin Feng... fight to the death and never retreat, kill..."
These are the sons of Northern Shanxi, and these are the people of Ming Dynasty. At this moment, whether they are Han people, whether they are Siberians or Slavs, they have truly found a place to belong. They have no lofty ideals. Everything they have done,
All to protect the good life of the family.
As citizens of the Ming Dynasty, they had a happy life, with food to eat and clothing to wear, all of which were honors worth protecting. The more than two hundred remnants of the army fought against each other, forming two lines of defense. In their eyes,
Full of bloodthirsty madness and a determination that was not afraid of death, the Germans rushed over, but stopped again. Under the gaze of these Easterners, they actually felt afraid.
What a ridiculous idea. Why are you still afraid when you are clearly about to win? No, this is not surprising at all. People are thoughtful. More German soldiers couldn't help but think, if they win this time, what about next time?
Next time, can such an opponent really be defeated? You must know that there are nearly 100,000 such enemy troops in Tomsk and Vladimir. Facing such a powerful opponent, we can really defeat Tomsk.
City, occupying the Suzdal River?
Varan also showed a look of horror. What kind of enemies are these? At this time, they can still launch a final charge. But Varan will not be afraid. He deeply understands that on the battlefield, who is afraid first?
Who will become the devil under the sword, "Germanic warriors, raise the weapons in your hands and put away your mercy. This is a group of evil pagans, they are the people of Satan, fight hard, the light of God
Always shine on us."
"Heh..." The Germanic soldiers raised their weapons, and their unrestrained shouts seemed to be calling God. They believed in God and in glory. Therefore, God's people will be blessed, and this battle will definitely be won. After a while, God's people will be blessed.
The strong wind was raging, and dead leaves fell from the branches. Each leaf was like a cold knife, scraping the men's faces. Two desperate torrents collided together, composing a bright red chapter of prosperity.
The earth weeps, the surrounding areas are sad, where will the lonely soul go?
There is no hell, no heaven, because both land and heaven are prepared for the living. When the Northern Shan army no longer retreats, it is destined to end in a river of blood. When Lei Jiang fell, what he saw was the last piece of blood.
The scenery, the yellow birch leaves, the gloomy sky, the weak sunshine, the first snow in the seventh winter of Chongzhen, is coming soon, but he has to go forever. How much I want to see the same Istrian highlands again
Snow, white snow, the sky and the earth are wrapped in plain clothes, who will decorate the vast mountains and rivers, who will write about the former homeland, life is dying, for life, for family, for freedom, for Guanzhong, and for the eternal supervisor in the heart.
In the valley north of Foyan Mountain, the commander Zheng Changge came to the high slope and personally directed the further offensive and defensive battles. After noon, the Germans seemed to have taken some medicine, and the resistance was very fierce. The soldiers on both sides launched several rounds of attacks and were all defeated.
When they came back, the Germans had launched a full-scale counterattack on the high slopes on both sides. In the valley, there were also a large number of German cavalry charging and killing.
Zheng Changge had a bad feeling in his heart. Are the Germans crazy? As far as he knows, the Germans in the entire Foyan Ridge area only have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now the Germans have invested more than 4,000 troops.
The number of people has increased, and the number is still increasing. The purpose of attacking the northern valley road is to attract the attention of the Germans, but no one expected that the Germans would be so crazy and tilt almost all their troops to the north, just in case anything happens.
, a feint attack is likely to turn into a fight.
Zheng Changge was thinking about why the Germans counterattacked so abnormally. A burst of noise and curses came from the distance, which directly disrupted Zheng Changge's thoughts. He turned around and saw Zheng Changge frowned tightly.
A man who looked like Dutong was in conflict with his own bodyguards. Han Penglu went through a lot of hardships and narrowly escaped death to reach the valley road. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by these indifferent commanding officers and bodyguards, "You bitches,
Something big is going to happen, I want to meet with General Zheng, do you hear me?"
Hearing Han Panglu's scolding, Zheng Changge had no choice but to walk over quickly and asked with an unhappy expression, "Who are you? I am Zheng Changge. If you have anything to say, please just say it."
Han Panglu was startled, and quickly put away his arrogant attitude, bowed his hands and saluted, "Back to General Zheng, General Han Panglu, deputy staff general of the First Army, was ordered by General Moutai and General Lei to lead 500 soldiers to garrison in the east.
White Birch Forest. Just two hours ago, a group of Germans came from the south. Their number was not less than 1,500. General Lei had already led his men to resist, but the situation was not good. I hope General Zheng will quickly order the withdrawal.
, otherwise the back road of the valley road will be blocked, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Zheng Changge's expression changed and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Now he had everything figured out. No wonder the Germans would counterattack regardless of the cost. It turned out that they had already sent people to block the retreat. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zheng Changge did not hesitate at all.
, immediately issued an order, "Order all ministries to gradually withdraw from the battle. All the fire starters prepared previously are thrown in to block the German pursuit. Everyone immediately evacuates to the northeast."
Zheng Changge's order was issued quickly. After receiving the order to retreat, the ministries quickly placed rolling logs and dead grass on the valley road and the hillside. Soon after, a fire broke out in the valley road, forming a long wall of fire. Seeing this wall of fire,
Sugus yelled angrily, but he still had hope. As long as Valan led his troops to block the opponent's retreat and delayed for a moment, he could still annihilate the invading enemy.
The battle in the northern valley road was full of too many variables. Valan finally arrived at the valley road. However, due to the emergence of the Han bypass road, Zheng Changge's main force retreated early, so Valan still missed. Looking at the messy valley road, where
There were still traces of the Oriental people. Valan angrily pulled out his broad sword and slashed it hard on the boulder next to him, erasing the bursts of sparks. "Why is this happening? I have worked so hard and so many people have died, but...
