South of Rila

Yaglins looked solemnly at the vast terrain of valleys surrounded by mountains in front of him. Next to him, Rilla General Boaso raised his whip and pointed to the north of the river in front of him and said, "That is the south leading to the Peres area." The natural defense line of the Mars River is a branch of Faerun, the largest river in the south.

To the south of this place is the vast Pérez Plain. Our southern defense line of Ruela has two lines, one is the collapsed border.

Precisely because we know that there is almost no danger to defend the border, the real line of defense is actually the second defense system in the south with Fortress Perez in front as the core.

Originally, there were 30,000 elite troops from the Kingdom garrisoned here all year round, supported by the strong and majestic Peres Fortress behind them.

After receiving the frontline warning, it is enough to deal with twice the enemy's surprise attack."

Boasuo's voice paused, and he stared at the earth in the distance with complicated eyes. "But this time, I'm afraid it won't work. There are too many Hungarians, and the borderline is no longer an early warning, but a direct collapse! The seemingly solid mountain The border was crossed, and most of the border troops who had high hopes from the people were annihilated or ordered to retreat. Countless compatriots became prisoners of the Hungarians at this moment. This is the sin of our soldiers in Ruela."

Boaso was worthy of being one of Ruilan's generals guarding the south. He was very familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain along the way. He seemed to feel that the Falcon Army in front of him was already relying on the entire south. He also began to introduce the terrain along the way to Yaglins in earnest. I heard him say, "Strategically speaking, the Kingdom's requirement to completely abandon the first line of defense without conditions that can hold is not Wrong. ? But this order was given too suddenly, and the south was not prepared at all. Most people did not think that the war would start here, so many people were taking chances and were still hesitating whether they needed to endure the pain and relocate. The Hungarians The 200,000 Eastern Army troops rushed in with overwhelming force, eventually causing half of the entire south to fall in just a few days."

Boaso's face was cold, and the hand holding the riding crop made a squeaking sound, with a cold tone in his voice. "And according to intelligence, the main force of the Hungarian Eastern Army, 200,000 strong, is gathering. There is a tendency to continue to advance northward, Sila The two regiments from Sri Lanka arrived at Fei, less than fifty miles away from here yesterday. Xi City, these Silas people are also the most cruel people to treat our Rila people. Although the Huns are cruel, most of them plunder and take prisoners, but the Silas people are different. Almost all the Rila people who fall into their hands are There are no survivors, and compared to the Huns, these Silas are even more hateful!”

Yagelins looked at the excited Boatho. I couldn't help but think of the towns along the way that I saw when I retreated. I thought about the poorly equipped but confused town militias on the road, and the Rilla officer who insisted on staying. At this moment. Under the sweep of 200,000 Hungarian troops, he is probably gone.

Although the empire gathered 60,000 troops on Perez this time, according to his old partner Reposti. This battle was the least promising in his life. The Hungarian army numbered close to half a million, but the empire's troops entering the southern part of Rila were only 50,000 or 60,000. Once the Hungarian army is fully prepared and arrives at the fortress, the opponent will be able to level the fortress even with piles of corpses, not to mention that after the Hungarians swept through the southern part of Rila and drove hundreds of thousands of Rila people like slaves, by that time The Rayla army guarding Peres Fortress may not be interested in fighting.

"The outcome of this battle does not depend on whether Peres can hold it, but on whether the Hungarian army can find fighter planes to severely damage its vigor before the Hungarian army arrives at Peres Fortress, and as many as possible before the main Hungarian army arrives at Peres. The power of the Hungarians was consumed! "Reposti's words greatly touched Yaglins. This battle was related to Rila's life and death, and it also had a great impact on the empire. Therefore, Reposti, who was good at planning, did not bring any plans. Any bias or selfishness! The Rila people also felt this,

General Boasso, as the highest-ranking general stationed in the south of Rila, expressed his willingness to personally lead the Rila army in the fortress and set up a blocking line on the way forward of the main Hungarian force. The location of the establishment was the Mars River in front of him. Yaglins agreed. He saw the bloody scene in front of the Boaso Legion's position.

Although the casualties of the Rila Army were much greater than those of the Hungarian Army, it was commendable to be able to fight against several times the cavalry with a inferior number of infantry and not be overwhelmed from the beginning. These Rila people were very tenacious, even if they let go. You can also be considered an elite member of the empire's frontline troops!

Although it is an extremely cruel thing to let these Rila people build a defense line here to stop and consume the Hungarians, war is a place where all means are used. Yaglins, who has experienced many wars, does not think that this is a good idea. Wrong, if blocking the main force of the Hungarian Army here is a desperate attempt, then if the main force of the Hungarian Army is allowed to roll under the fortress, then it will be certain death!

"How long will your Excellency lead an army of 30,000 riela to deploy defenses here to contain the main force of Hungary?" Jagelins asked with a twinkling look.

Boaso's face was silent for a while, and he said with a firm expression, "I am a soldier. When the country is destroyed and the compatriots are slaughtered, the word fear of death is not in the dictionary of Rila soldiers. I believe that other Rila soldiers The same is true. The thing I regret most is knowing that the despicable Silas people betrayed me. After they didn't lead the army into Silas immediately, even if they couldn't cut off the head of King Silas, they could at least delay it for a while by killing more people from Silas, instead of just sitting back and watching their compatriots being killed! Killing without doing anything, being completely passive and being beaten, hey, forget it, let’s not talk about this”

Boaso shook his head with some annoyance on his face, glanced ahead, and said

"The river is fifty meters wide, and all the bridges on the river have been destroyed. Although the Hungarian cavalry is powerful, they do not dare to wade through such a wide water surface. In addition, there will be heavy rain soon. If the main Hungarian army really goes this way, Unless the Silas Army's pontoon bridge is built, it will take at least four or five days to complete the road.

"But please tell me, there are three roads from the border to Peres. How did you judge that the main Hungarian force and the Silas army will definitely take this road? What if the judgment is wrong. Although this is my Rila Land, before the last Rila man died, There is no need for the blood of friendly forces to spill on this land, but if we judge the wrong route from the beginning, wouldn't our 30,000 elite troops of Ruila be nailed to this line in vain? I think that once they meet, no matter whether the opponent is the main force or not! , there is no possibility for our army to retreat!"

"The route should be correct!"

Yaglinsi looked seriously, looked into the distance with deep eyes, smiled slightly, and said in a solemn voice, "The main force of the Hungarians is large in number. There are also a large number of supplies and prisoners collected along the way. It is impossible for me to rescue you like I did. Take the cavalry with you for two days in one breath They ran from Peres to the border at night. They must have gone north along this main road with the greatest transportation capacity, because only this road can carry more than 300,000 troops and luggage. The other two roads are difficult for the opponent to carry. At most, each team will send a team to take charge of the flanks.

"The flanking divisions do not pose a threat, and the Silas people are not afraid of the combat power. What is really worrying is that the main Hungarian force arrives at the gate of Fortress Peres without any damage."

Yaglins paused and continued, "Because the morale of the opponent's army must have been raised to the highest point at that time. Even if the Peres Fortress deployed a hundred and twenty thunder gods sent by the empire, they would not be able to stop it. Several times the Hungarians gathered all their strength to attack like a tiger, but it was the opponent who was behind them. On the way north, the queue is huge, the baggage is more heavy, and the movement is slow, which is its biggest weakness. According to this, it may not be able to catch the opponent off guard. No matter what the outcome of the battle, it will at least demoralize the Hungarians. The Yaren may not have the courage to encourage the entire army to come forward!"

"So, Your Excellency is not absolutely sure?" Boaso frowned slightly. He was determined to risk everything. Regardless of whether he would die or not, he would kill a few more Hungarians to finish at the bottom.

"Who dares to say that he is absolutely sure of such a battle!" Yaglinsi nodded slightly and sighed with infinite regret. He raised his whip and pointed forward, "In front of you is Fegey, the most forward sentry point of your army." , go there first to see the situation. If the main force of the Hungarian Army takes this route, there will definitely be Hungarian Rangers."

At this moment, there was a panic scene outside the gate of Fegei. As the city closest to the chaos in the south, the city of Fegui is not very big, with a width of only three to four kilometers from left to right. It is surrounded by a complete earth wall and has more than a dozen wooden sentry towers, large and small. It is considered a semi-military settlement. , which used to be a garrison area for the families of border soldiers, was now surrounded by countless tired-looking Rila refugees in front of the city gate of Fegei, begging the higher-ups to open the city gate and let them into the city. On top of the city wall, the Ruila militiamen wearing ordinary leather armor also looked nervously at the turbulent crowd under the city wall.

Most of these Rila refugees came from the south. When the beacon fire of the Hungarian cavalry reached the vicinity, they had already begun to flee. After a few days, I felt helpless, panicked, and didn't dare to sleep at night. I often heard the howling wind at night as the sound of the Hungarian cavalry's hooves. By the time I reached this outpost city where the Rila flag was still erected, I was already exhausted. Extremely tired and haggard,

Although the city of Fegey is small, its walls are very complete, and there are Rilla soldiers stationed on them. For these refugees who have not slept for many days, seeing Fegey is like seeing a savior, and they finally feel safe. some.

When we get here, the kingdom will always send an army to guard it, right? Everyone just wanted a place to rest in the city, where they could still get some food, and at least they could take a breath before continuing to flee north. In order to rise up Rila, in order to build the first military power of Barro in Central Europe, everyone suffered from hunger and endured the heavy burdens of the kingdom. They gave most of their income to the kingdom, hoping to build a In an era that belongs to the Ruila people, they hope to build a powerful army, but now the enemy has really come, and the defenders along the way have been defeated. Everyone has escaped on their own, and they have reached their own area. Isn’t this too much to ask for even if we don’t provide any relief?

However, the closed gate of Fegei allowed thousands of Rila refugees who were desperate for a life to cry and beg around the city wall. Most of the soldiers guarding the city were militiamen, leaning on the battlements and looking down with unbearable expressions on their faces. Look, they looked at each other, and no one had the courage to open the blocked city gate. A 30-year-old Rila officer who was thin, tired and had blue eyes walked up the city wall surrounded by several guards. He saw that this officer should be the highest officer of the outpost and the Rila people under the city. The voice suddenly became louder.

"Sir, please let us in! We finally escaped from the Hungarian horses and got here. There are old and weak people inside. We really can't walk anymore and we have run out of food. If we go any further, we will starve to death." The gray-haired old man Rila's face was full of tears, which made many Rila militiamen on the city wall look ugly.

"My lord, otherwise let them come in!" a Rilla militia captain said to the officer.

The officer rolled his eyes and asked, "Did you see the Hungarian Rangers who appeared yesterday?"

"No, I saw one on the opposite side in the morning, but there was no more after that!" The leader of the Rilla militia team cheered up and replied. Thinking of yesterday's situation, he still felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. The Hungarian Ranger was just in front. I have heard about it for a while, and I heard that the entire south was being harmed by these Hungarian cavalry.

But the real appearance of the Hungarian cavalry was yesterday evening. Under the pale yellow sunset, I saw seven or eight cavalry wearing armor appearing a hundred meters away. They wore iron helmets with round edges and pointed peaks on their heads. Carrying a huge curved bow, the horses under their crotches are not majestic, but seven or eight cavalrymen galloped past the outpost with an almost indifferent attitude. The setting sun shone on these Hungarian rangers like a layer of The scales of light are dazzling. I don't know who shouted "Hungarian Rangers" on the city wall. The whole city wall was like a pot exploding. At any rate, there were fifty regular troops and two hundred militiamen in the outpost Fegey, but these two hundred and fifty people I stared blankly at the seven or eight Hungarian cavalrymen walking away. No one dared to go out to pursue him. If he hadn't seen the opponent just passing by a hundred meters away, a militia captain would have almost lit the alarm smoke on the city wall.

"It's really strange, now that the Hungarian rangers are here. How did these refugees get through!" The Rila officer's face turned cold. He was a real Rila regular frontier army, and had worked at the Fegey outpost for several years. Come down. This look was somewhat revealing. The southern border of Rila was occupied. He watched many fleeing Rila people dragging their children and daughters straight north with hesitant expressions on their faces. Urgent military information from the front was also constantly coming from the front. This little officer, who was silently doing nothing in the Rila border army, rarely gave up this simple outpost, because he knew that if the Hungarian army wanted to attack Peres, the largest town in the south, the most likely way would be to take the main road.

If you are taking the main road, the importance of your own outpost is self-evident.

If Peres Fortress is the last barrier in the south of Rila, then Fegui is the first eye of this barrier. If even this place is abandoned, there will be no chance to detect the movements of the Hungarian army. The country is in danger, and the total Someone needs to stand up! In the past few days, this unknown Rila officer had been inspecting the city defenses and patrolling the guard towers almost non-stop, collecting the few military rations in Fegey City and distributing them according to the number of people. Demolish empty houses in the city to collect bricks and stones. I don't know where I found a blacksmith to cast arrowheads for the city guards.

Looking at the thousands of refugees under the city who should not be here, Officer Rilla seemed to feel something. He held his hands on the battlements, raised his head and looked into the distance. There seemed to be seven or eight small dots appearing on the mounds in the distance. Teeth Ranger! Officer Rilla's pupils tightened unnaturally. Several children's cries for hunger came from the city. This made him hesitate a little. It was impossible to say that these refugees were dressed as Hungarians. Most of them were They are old people, women and children. The few who are still strong are all in thin bodies, with an obvious look of hunger on their faces. It would be even more strange to say that the appearance of these refugees has nothing to do with the Hungarians. How did these thousands of refugees come to be? Crossing the blockade of Hungarian rangers?

"Come here, throw some food down. We can't save these thousands of people! Let them go!"

Officer Rilla looked away from a distance, with a solemn look on his face, and shouted loudly to the nearby soldiers, "If you don't want to kill your compatriots, let them continue to the north. Thousands of refugees have no way to deal with a small town like Fegey." Bear it, there is not much food in the city, if you really want Even if we put them all in, it would be a disaster." A dozen militiamen silently found some food and threw it from the city wall. The refugees below picked up the food and started fighting. There was too little food, and those who grabbed it ate it. Still waiting with his head held high, those who didn't grab it also looked up.

"Let's go, if you don't want to die, keep going north!" the militiamen on the city wall shouted to the people below, but few people moved. Some people were too tired to move, and more people made up their minds to go in. "Open the city gate. Let's leave when we're full! Otherwise, we won't be able to walk very far and we'll starve to death!" someone shouted from the refugee team below.

"Yes, open it. You are soldiers. Isn't it your duty to protect us?" Suddenly there was a burst of shouts of grace from the refugees.

"Open it, the door has been blocked with stones, before the Hungarians come! If you don't want to die, go north! You can live if you go north!" Officer Rila on the top of the city looked into the distance. He could I felt that seven or eight small black dots on the soil slope were looking here. The Hungarian rangers seemed to be waiting. What were you waiting for? Suddenly, he yelled at the bottom of the city, "Flee quickly! Flee north!" Before the refugees below could react, someone shouted, "Hungarians, the Huns are coming." "Thousands of riela refugees exploded at once, and their cries were ten times and a hundred times louder than before. Amid the cries, the crowd formed a chaotic mass, pushing and trampling on each other, trying to escape northward.

The Ruila defenders on the city wall held their breaths at this moment, looking towards the south with ugly expressions.

"Why are you still standing there, light up the smoke!" Officer Ruila on the top of the city shouted with a ferocious look to a militia captain on Yantai in the distance. His body was as straight as a sword at this moment, and he saw the people in the distance. on the horizon,

Groups of Hungarian cavalry emerged, with long white Hungarian military flags hanging from the top blowing in the wind. The overwhelming cavalry armor seemed to split the world in the distance (to be continued) Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
