Main text 1898 Princess War (VIII)
While the non-Gangfei archers rained down arrows on the galloping Istantian light cavalry, the army of Hayera, the governor of Eastern Istanbul, also rushed to the battlefield.
"My lord, do you need to order the light cavalry to withdraw?" asked an Istan general.
"No, it's just some insignificant light cavalry!" Hayela stared at the warship with bright eyes and raised his hand. He did not issue an order for the whole army to support him, but asked the messengers to set up a side in front of the formation. Facing war flags, On the battle flag was the moonlight military flag of the Governor of Eastern Istan. The grassroots officers methodically adjusted their soldiers to the most perfect frontal combat formation according to the commander's vision, and firmly controlled their respective areas.
There are more than 20,000 people serving as cannon fodder in the array. They are death squads who must move forward with all their strength after the horn of advance is sounded. Behind the cannon fodder troops are the supervising troops. Each of these supervising troops has a special beheading in their hands. Ax, this kind of short battle ax is as sharp as a short sword, shining with a ruthless cold light under the setting sun. Twenty thousand Istani heavy archers, known as the "elite among the elite", were filled in the blank joints of these three linear infantry battle formations. These Istani heavy archers were strong and strong, and the Istani heavy bows in their hands were almost as large as The height of an average adult and their amazing archery skills. These archers stand still and pull When firing a bow, the whole person is like an extremely tight beast. These Istan strong archers are sand archers from the desert areas of the Istan Empire. They have excellent shooting skills and engineers. Even if they are close to the enemy, they are strong. The sharp subway claws on the body and waist are also comparable to any melee type! On the left side of the Istan army's formation, six thousand camel cavalry fought. The golden crescent battle formation was arranged as neatly as a knife cutting cheese;
"Prepare!"
The messenger cavalry galloped past, and the knights on the camels tightened the reins of their mounts. Wearing mail armor, his face was covered with red gauze, so he couldn't see much of his face, but since he appeared silently on the left wing, it was obvious that he must be the elite of the Istan people. They are known as the soldiers of the desert. The sharp knife shined in the Istan Empire's conquest of the southern rebellion, in the harsh desert climate. Camels only need very little water to complete the task of running long distances. Under normal circumstances, the endurance and height of camels are better than war horses, and the tonnage of camels is higher than war horses. Although the explosive sprint power is not as good as war horses, Just run. will converge into an unstoppable shock wave,
Located in the last row of the linear battle formation, is the imperial sword guard of the Istan people who is so powerful throughout Obarro. These sword guards wear well-made full-body plate armor, and the weapons in their hands are heavy two-handed long-edged heavy swords. In melee, they can be used as force thrusts. It can be used as a heavy flail-type weapon to smash the enemy. In the first battle of Forkodil, after Gangfei's heavy cavalry broke through the flanks, they were blocked by the Imperial Great Sword Guards placed in the middle, which led to the Gangfei Empire's attack. When they saw the dawn of victory, they were pushed back by the Istani people. Almost completely overturned.
"Bring back the Hussars!"
The Eastern Governor of Istan was sitting on a carriage that shone with gold, and his eyes swept over the Congolese troops arrayed in front. Wei Wei was shocked. She didn't expect that Gang Fei's army, which had been beaten like a lost dog by his own, could still resist so tenaciously. The light cavalry attacking in front quickly withdrew, and the short confrontation took less than an hour. The light cavalry lost more than 4,000 people, but they rarely achieved their strategic deployment. The light cavalry's charge made it impossible for the Gangfei people on the opposite side to change their formations, but they could calmly and targetedly deploy.
"Stupid gangsters, let us end the grudges here today! Let the heavy cavalry attack and kill them in one fell swoop!" Hayela said to himself, and suddenly raised his hand, the three thousand soldiers in this formation black armor The heavy cavalry spread out silently like a pair of gloomy black wings, the crackling and harsh sound of horse hooves rolled in like thunder, and every grain of gravel on the plain trembled in "shen yin"!
"Attention, heavy cavalry!" There was a noise in the Gangfei forward infantry team. At this distance, people with excellent eyesight can already see the red coral logo on the helmet of Gang Fei's heavy cavalry! "Secure the defense line!" The voice of the messenger cavalry flew from one end of the battle line to the other end. The strong air resistance made everyone feel a sense of breathless pressure. They held up their shields and looked nervously at the getting closer and closer. Black lines, the earth rumbles, everyone's feet are trembling, that is Even the bravest warriors in the army dare not say that they can face the frontal impact of the half-ton heavy cavalry calmly. When the heavy cavalry launched a charge, the Istan heavy archers behind the heavy cavalry launched their weapons into the air in an extremely orderly manner. A piece of fire broke out, and dense arrow clusters finally fell on the heads of Gang Fei's infantry.
"Hold on"
The hoarse shouts of the infantry captain Gang Fei in the front row suddenly came, and countless sharp arrow clusters hit his body before the heavy cavalry attack arrived. There was a crackling collision and friction, and the heavy armor on his body was cut open as if it were made of paper. Some soldiers next to him were even wearing mail armor. After being hit by the arrow, they did not fall down, but felt as if they had been beaten hard. He punched his body and stepped back a few steps before falling down. The heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor and shields were also penetrated by the arrow rain coming from the front.
"Lancer!" Quick! "
The Gangfei infantrymen behind shouted angrily, "Raise your gun!" Raise the gun! "The ear-piercing noise echoed across the two sides, and the infantrymen at the front raised their spears in panic. The long spear points moved forward, as if a forest of spears suddenly appeared on the ground. The spear tips shone with the terrifying light of metal.
For both parties who are about to collide, it is a forest of death!
"Papa"
The iron flow of the heavy cavalry finally hit the front line of Gangfei and merged with it. The heavy cavalry was so thick that it could hardly be pierced. The sound of broken spears sounded like dense raindrops, and countless blood dripped on the spears. The front end exploded, like a bright red mist suddenly rising up,
That is the blood of soldiers,
Because the cavalry broke in too quickly, before the Istan cavalry at the front could stop, the sharp spear of the heavy cavalry had already penetrated his body, "killing" the soldiers on both sides. At the same time, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, almost at the same time. The same sound was shouted for a moment, and metal hit metal, making bursts of harsh friction sounds.
The sharp spear point penetrated the body. The heavy cavalry's heavy sword slammed down hard. A large number of soldiers with tower shields used to block arrows were knocked over, and behind them were only heavy infantrymen holding ordinary infantry diamond shields. The total strength of both sides was 200,000, and they were fighting together like a huge twisting torrent.
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides were less than a kilometer apart from each other. In this raised mountain pass, nearly 150,000 soldiers were gathered to fight with each other. Wherever they looked, there were people fighting fiercely. The battle line between the two armies was chaotic. numb. The ground was covered with corpses and wounded soldiers. Soldiers from both armies rushed out and breathed out, like a volcano erupting. Like a terrible storm,
"Kill, kill, kill!" Almost all the soldiers in the first row fell. Then came the second row, the third row, and the sound of broken spears and broken guns could be heard everywhere in the formation, and the terrifying sound resounded throughout the sky.
Hayela's face began to turn solemn, as if he couldn't imagine why this Congolese army, which had been chased and intercepted by him for half a month, could still have such tough nerves and strong fighting spirit at the end of the road! Although it was almost broken by being crushed in front of his own powerful military power. However, the calmness with which the opponent's military formation changes still reflects this confident confidence in victory.
The forward infantry was expected to collapse long ago! At this time, they tried their best to digest the first wave of the cavalry's offensive. Although there were still many people with cowering expressions of fear on their faces, and even many junior officers had a trace of fear in their eyes. But they still fight to the death, under such circumstances. It would be great if half of his three thousand heavy cavalry can come back alive. Compared with more than ten days ago, this remnant of the Gang Fei army seems to have become purer and more like an elite force that has fought in hundreds of battles!
"I am not a target for people to train troops. I ordered the supervising team to go up!" Hayela ordered angrily. He had the advantage in strength, but the opponent's tenacity was beyond imagination. As the order was issued, he was located in the middle of the military formation. The Istan Empire's war team wearing red helmets entered the battlefield. They were in groups of fifty, like a big net.
"Keep moving forward. If anyone takes a step back, kill him!" the supervising team shouted sternly, and at the same time neatly pulled out the two scimitars stuck upside down on their backs. When the scimitars were unsheathed, they emitted a cold silver light. Too neat and uniform, the sword light that erupted over a large area flashed brilliantly at the same time, just like a bolt of lightning wiping across the plain. After a while, the lingering crisp sound slowly hit the eardrums of every soldier! "Puch!" A soldier who couldn't help but run away became the first person to be killed. The extremely sharp scimitar of the supervising team passed through his body like lightning, and the cracked corpse and the flying The blood is like an alarm bell ringing in the hearts of every Istantian.
"If anyone takes a step back, behead him!" The team of supervisors moved forward slowly. Every step they took towards them intensified their fear of death. The scimitars they waved, as well as those cold fluorescent blue eyes, mixed with the It smells of the strongest bloodthirsty smell!
"Damn it, what are these lunatics in the Supervisory Team doing in a daze? Just move forward if you don't want to die!" Officer Istan looked frightened and loudly urged the soldiers who were slowing down. Not to mention the soldiers, each one was frightened and ran forward.
The fierce fighting lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. Countless corpses were like a huge crack in this cold world, lying all over the mountainous wilderness less than ten kilometers away. The soldiers on both sides were squirming and bleeding. The colors of the armor have been mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish who is who. The soil was mixed with dark red human blood, and piles of corpses were piled up like mountains. There were broken spears and broken spears and heavy swords everywhere. Human corpses and horse corpses piled up like mountains, and broken limbs were poked out of the mountains of corpses. , on this bloody battlefield, corpses lay everywhere as far as the eye could see. Stepping down with one foot, red blood squeaked out.
"It's like fighting the enemy in hell!" The first ones who couldn't withstand it were the Istani people who were pursuing fiercely. The cavalry attack was difficult to launch in the chaotic battle, and was gradually worn away by the Gangfei people, and the infantry line was also defeated. Several times, even if the supervising team pressed behind, the energy of the Istan people was quickly lost.
As a last resort, Hayera, the governor of eastern Istanbul, issued an order to stop the attack.
"It seems that I have won this bet, and the Istan people can only stop here!" Looking at the slowly retreating Istan army, Gangfei commander Andia finally breathed a sigh of relief with a tense expression on his face. ,
After five hours of fighting, both sides were exhausted. The number of soldiers each lost in the battle was no less than 50,000.
Although the Istan people had complete infantry and cavalry, they did not take much advantage in the face of the heavily formed Gangfei military formation. The supervising team that finally pressed forward chopped off a piece of one of their own heads but did not change the situation.
This battle was a decisive battle for the Congolese troops retreating from the north to the south. If you want to go south alive, you must first defeat the pursuing enemies, otherwise everyone will die! At the military meeting, Andy said this to all the generals of Congo and Africa.
"The army was exhausted after being chased and intercepted by the Istani troops. There were many cavalry units of the Istani troops chasing along the way. If they could not stop the enemy's pursuit in this final area. Beyond here, there would be a vast expanse of land. of the Southern Great Plains, that The troops retreating to the south are the lambs of the Istan Cavalry, so even if you die, please choose to fight, otherwise we will have no hope of returning alive. If anyone can survive, please remember it. The death of others gives you the right to live!"
Because of this, everyone in the Gangfei army was united. With an astonishing burst of morale and combat effectiveness, General Gangfei went to the front line, tried his best to stabilize the trembling military morale, and fully commanded the mobile troops that consumed the enemy. To be honest. Gang Feiren himself didn't expect that his side would be so tenacious.
During the break, the battle damage statistics were sent up.
Andy's face darkened slightly. More than 31,000 people died in the battle, and more than 20,000 soldiers were injured. The general's side was also in a mess. The commanders of the 5th and 7th Infantry Regiments had been killed, and there was no need to send new commanders. Because these two infantry regiments have been lost to the organic formation. The remaining troops were less than 1,000 men and could only be used by the original squadron. The commander of the 9th Infantry Regiment was seriously injured. Of the six infantry regiments participating in the war, three infantry regiments could be said to be unable to fight. The number of truly intact men was less than 20,000. Thinking about two of the four legions that had been lost in the north, Andy already felt that this result was surprisingly good. After fighting with the Istani for so long, this battle was definitely the first battle in which the opponent suffered a loss. ,
"Order all ministries to hold on and we will evacuate when it gets dark!"
Andy stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body. He believed that the Istan people were no better than him. Since the other party found that they could not eat him in one bite, they had no choice but to give up on him. At this time, he seemed to hear a roar. He thought Long's voice was an illusion, but he saw everyone standing up, stretching their necks and looking in one direction.
"What's going on? Andy felt something was wrong, and quickly turned around, only to see five huge wooden carts being pushed out in the direction of the Istan military formation.
"What is that?"
Some people exclaimed, and saw that these wooden chariots were like a huge mobile fortress. The huge bodies made of antlers and solid wood were like turtles covered in thick armor, slowly moving forward, the front ends of the chariots tilted. The roller blades, giant scythes, and three-bladed shovels that came out were spinning faster and faster like windmills under the violent rotation of the soldiers behind them, causing a terrifying roar in the sky! The wooden wheels under the wooden cart slowly squeezed the gravel ground, making ten deep tracks. It slowly rushed out of the cracked linear battle formation and slowly moved to the front line of the infantry battle formation.
There is an infantry team gathering behind the wooden cart, which seems to be preparing for the second wave of attacks.
"This is..." Commander Duke Andia's pupils narrowed unnaturally, with a look of disbelief on his face. How is this possible! , how could this thing appear here! He didn't expect that the Istani people had such a terrifying thing. This thing was called the "Meat Grinder Chariot"
It is a ferocious war beast invented by the Feiya Dynasty thousands of years ago. Its huge power is enough to crush all infantry formations. With the help of this large-scale murderous weapon, the original Feiya Dynasty army massacred countless cities and countries.
However, due to the fall of the Fiya Dynasty, it is said that the manufacturing technology for making this kind of thing has disappeared. Who knows where the Istani people found these things, and actually restored this rumored killer weapon through the research and improvement of skilled craftsmen. Original appearance, full molybdenum iron structure The "Meat Grinder Chariot" is driven by a metal wheel axle. It has a pair of huge roller blades, two downward-pressing cutting scythes and flea blades. No matter what object hits it head-on, it will Shredded into pieces by the rotating blade, it is an invincible weapon in breaking formations in war.
"Asshole, is that rumor true? The secrets of the Feiya Dynasty are in my Gangfei!" Duke Andia looked dull and his body trembled slightly. As a high-ranking noble of Gangfei, he has heard his elders mention it since he was a child. And the story of that once glorious dynasty, the most mentioned one is the secret treasure that the dynasty finally disappeared.
Rumor has it that the secrets of the Vault have been mastered by Turrit witches throughout the ages, but something happened unexpectedly more than ten years ago. For unknown reasons, the witches of that generation died when they were only twenty years old. It is said that they had an affair with a noble from Ganfei. In order to keep the secret of the secret, they were secretly executed by the Burrows family. , but the secret of the secret treasure seems to have been spread out. The Gangfei Empire has been searching for it for more than ten years, but found nothing. However, the Istani people suddenly found this, proving that the secret treasure is true. If the wealth that is so rich falls into the country, In the hands of Istani people. . . . .
Duke Andia did not dare to continue thinking about it.
"Sir, what should we do now?" The adjutant next to him looked a little anxious and asked, "We don't have a long-range trebuchet. I'm afraid we can't stop the enemy's weapon!"
"Don't be messy. Even if there is no trebuchet, that thing can be dealt with with rockets!" Duke Andia said calmly. It seems that the people of Istanbul have just obtained this thing not long ago, and they don't know that they need to put a layer of fire protection on the outside. Mao Ding, otherwise, there is really nothing I can do with this thing.
