Just after Fielding took the Basak tribe's relatives from the Chixue Army to the north.
Under the new city, a siege has been completed...
"It seems that Chi Xuejun really has no talents."
Sitting on the back of a horse, Xia Ya looked coldly at the Chixue Army camp under the new city in the distance.
The huge military barracks looked lifeless, so that the ostentatious Odin men in Japan would wander back and forth around the station even when they were not fighting.
But at this moment, the huge camp seems to be dead.
Looking at such a scene, Xia was finally completely convinced that Manninger was really dead.
The army Chen is under the new city, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, such a waste of time, such a stupid move, how can a hero like Manninger do it
Xia Ya's hundreds of cavalry, all the way to the new city, people like wind and horses like dragons, hundreds of cavalry once under the leadership of Xia Ya, made a gesture of threatening the Chixue army camp, but hundreds of cavalry almost After running under the nose of the Chixue Army camp, a sparse arrow crossbow was released to block it.
Even in the camp, no Chixue Army ever went out to fight.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few soldiers around Xia Ya, he would have just rushed into the camp and killed him.
And even the arrow crossbows that were shot sparsely from the inside were obviously weak, and their morale was low, no doubt.
Xia Ya didn't really want to enter the camp, but just made a gesture and turned away with the cavalry.
"It seems that what Fielding said is true... I'm afraid there really is an internal trouble in this Red Snow Army. Haha!"
Xia's hundreds of cavalrymen reappeared under the new city. Although the city gate was blocked and hundreds of cavalrymen could not enter the city, it immediately boosted the morale of the city!
Although the Odins had not attacked the city for two days, after all, there were only more than 2,000 defenders in the city, and the Chixue army outside the city was more than ten times larger. Although they attacked the city on the first day, the defenders in the city were desperate to survive. Under the stubborn defense, but after all, this kind of courage is not omnipotent. The Odins will not attack the city for two days, and the defenders in the city are also uneasy in their hearts.
But seeing that Xiaya's cavalry actually came back, the defenders in the city were shocked!
In any case, although Xiaya has only a few hundred cavalry outside the city, since he dares to come back, it shows that this Byzantine general has not given up on us!
Xia Ya's hundreds of cavalry simply stopped outside the city across the Chixue Army camp. Dozens of horses scattered far away, patrolling around the Chixue Army's camp.
Looking at the activities of these Byzantine cavalry squads, Chi Xuejun still did not make any movement.
The Chixue Army was not really unresponsive, at least when the cavalry of Xi Ya appeared, there was quite a commotion among the Chixue Army.
It's just that in the big tent, the leaders of the various tribes have not competed for a higher level, and they have been noisy for days, but they just barely reached some so-called agreements or agreements. Regarding the current whereabouts of the army, the army has divided into two different propositions. One is to immediately attack the new city, relying on the new city, and rest the troops and horses. The advantage of this proposition is that the new city is right in front of you, and it is clear that there are not many defenders in the city. If you really make an effort to attack, you can take this city. But the problem is, after winning, there may not be much food left in the city for the attacking army to use.
The second proposition is to immediately move the army to other places. Although there are not many reserves of food in other towns, the army pushes all the way, scavenges a few more towns along the way, collects all the looted materials, and finally relies on a stronghold to hold steady. , is also a method.
As for going back to the division and eating Green's troops... But no one mentioned this idea anymore.
The reason is very simple: now all the tribes want to be the boss, but everyone knows that they don't have the prestige of Manninger, and they are quite the boss, so they have to speak with strength! At this time, it is important to preserve strength. Who wants to really fight the Byzantines
The arrival of Xia Ya's cavalry, although everyone was a little surprised, it only made the quarrel in the big tent rise to another level. It is said that the leaders of two tribes have already moved their knives, but fortunately they were pulled away by others.
Xia Ya's hundreds of cavalry were running back and forth outside the Chixue Army camp, although it made the Odins a little annoyed, but after all, there are hundreds of cavalry in this area, so don't worry too much.
It's just another day later... When another army arrived, the Chixue Army finally couldn't sit still!
This army is coming from the northeast. The army is all infantry, but the flags and armor are a little mixed. The army is walking, and it looks a little sparse from a distance, but the number is absolutely overwhelming. It's not too small, looking at the scale, I'm afraid there will be close to 10,000 people!
Although they were playing the eagle-headed flag of the Byzantine Empire, it was obviously a mob when they saw that the team was dragging by. Just looking at the army, there are quite a few chariots and horses, and I don't know where the materials were collected. Even after the army arrived, they didn't even set up the camp, they just surrounded a circle with the vehicles that came with the army, and it was barely stationed.
This army from afar was brought by Sogel.
Sogel was instructed to come south after Charya, and along the places where Charya's cavalry had passed, town by town, he gathered the descending troops and enlisted troops. In these days, he had run through several places, and used his request for his help. Geer's prestige and fame in the Corsica military region in the past, coupled with the fact that Char's cavalry had already cleared Odin's garrison before, it was much easier for him to collect and surrender the army all the way.
Over the past few days, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers have been accepted. Although the quality of these soldiers is uneven, and the quality is also somewhat mixed, some are surrendered to the army, and some are even strong civilians who were directly recruited by the Odins. . But it was really hard for Soger to be able to pull out a team of tens of thousands in such a short period of time. Moreover, the towns he passed through all the way were all scavenging for the food that he could get. His "rabble crowd" went all the way south, like a snowball that was getting bigger and bigger.
Aside from how much combat power such a rabble can have, after all, a team of tens of thousands of people is quite a deterrent if they are just looking at it.
Moreover, when it comes to quality, these surrendered troops may not be really bad. Originally, it was also the regular army and the army of the Corsican military region, but it gradually declined after the surrender of the Odins. If it can be reorganized well, it may not be a usable force.
After all, it is an army of tens of thousands, and it looks a little worse, but the number of people here is also a threat to the Odins.
At least, with these tens of thousands of people stationed at the side watching, Chi Xuejun couldn't let go even if he wanted to attack the city immediately.
The arrival of Suogel's troop caused another quarrel among the Chixue Army.
Just like that, time was delayed for another day and a half.
Finally, on the fourth day, Green's troops arrived!
※※※
Since Manninger took the initiative to withdraw his troops that day, Green made a decisive decision and ordered Sharba to lead the cavalry to chase and entangle all the way, but he only slowly followed with the infantry.
Green was in trouble, and his army was running out of food.
Fortunately, after defeating the thousands of troops that Manninger left behind, they captured some of the other party's materials, which relieved Green's pressure a little.
But such a small amount of capture is far from enough to meet the cost of Green's department. But at this time, Char's men and horses got in touch with Green's army, and the biography sent by Char's brought news about the new city. Green learned that the new city was successfully attacked by Xi Ya, and Xi Ya destroyed the cavalry of the Chixue Army in one fell swoop...
How could his famous mad dog not grasp at such an opportunity? He immediately marched south without hesitation.
When his entire army arrived at the new city, he finally formed a three-sided siege gesture to the Odins!
At this moment, the front of the Chixue Army is a new city with strong city defense, the side is the tens of thousands of soldiers of Suogel, and behind it is Green's department!
Hundreds of Char's cavalry are still wandering around.
Although the Chixue Army still had the advantage in terms of overall strength, the situation at the moment had been completely reversed.
After Green arrived in the new city, he immediately got in touch with Sogel's camp. Green's food and forage had been exhausted, but fortunately, Sogel still had some reserves. In this way, Green's army has been supplemented to a certain extent. Although the number is small, it is enough for Green to continue to support.
The situation at the moment is a little more complicated.
The Odin Chixue Army here, and the Byzantine Army, are facing the same predicament: the food on both sides is insufficient.
In terms of military strength, the Chixue Army was besieged by a larger number.
But in terms of morale, it has completely reversed!
The Odins suffered repeated setbacks, their nests were raided, their cavalry was destroyed, and now the coach Manninger also died. …
In such a situation, the Odin soldiers below would naturally have their morale shaken.
When Green's troops arrived and the encirclement posture was completed, there was only one way before the Chixue Army!
decisive battle!
The two previous propositions, whether to take the new city or choose to go elsewhere... Now this debate is meaningless.
Being surrounded by the Byzantines is just around the corner, and the only option is to defeat the enemy head-on first.
Although the leaders of the various tribes in the Chixue Army are still eyeing the position of the commander, at this time, everyone has to temporarily put these problems aside, after all, the enemy in front of them is the most direct threat.
More importantly, the leaders who had been noisy for many days finally discovered a serious problem: there was not enough food!
The amount of rations in the army, no matter how much you save, has only a few days left to spend. At this time, many leaders realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to let Fielding take away half of the food.
But at this moment, they still do not really realize the seriousness of this problem.
In the eyes of the proud Odins, although the current situation is a bit troublesome... But as long as the enemy in front of you is defeated, the problem will be solved!
Food... Defeat these enemies and capture them!
As for the Byzantine army in front of them - fighting with the Byzantine army, the leaders of the Chixue Army have no concerns. In their opinion, the Byzantine army is as weak as sheep, where is the opponent of the powerful Odin warrior
What's more, the strength of one's own side is still higher than that of the other side!
Although there is no cavalry, and when I was marching before, I was a little embarrassed by the cavalry of Sharba... But now and then, at that time, my side was on the road and marching, and the enemy's cavalry harassed all the way, and I made myself embarrassed. ! But now our side has firmly established the camp, and the decisive battle will come in the future.
It's nothing more than breaking the Byzantines in front of you!
For a time, the leaders of the various tribes within the Chixue Army seemed to have finally put their conflicts aside. There was another movement in the barracks to gather troops and prepare for battle.
Here in the Byzantine army, Charya has joined forces with Green's department, and the cavalry has entered the camp. Charya immediately took over the command, and Sharba's cavalry regiment has also merged with Char's elite cavalry.
In the barracks, the cavalry came out, and the military orders were pressed down one by one.
The camp door opened, and at noon that day, the army lined up to leave the camp!
Beneath the new city, above the wilderness, the dark armies on both sides have already taken a stand, and a decisive battle has finally been staged! !
Xia Ya personally led the cavalry in front of the formation. He jumped on his horse and looked at the formation of the Red Snow Army from a distance. Xia Ya's eyes were sharp as he rode his horse back and forth a few steps before his formation. He raised his spear and pointed at the Red Snow Army in the distance.
A roar!
"Break the enemy, just today! Rodia! Move forward!!!"
Thousands of cavalry roared in unison.
"go ahead!!"
※※※
Esria County border, Husk City.
The garrison in the city was heavily guarded, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion of the Besta Military Region took over the defense of the garrison.
Just yesterday, the actual ruler of the glamorous Besta Military Region suddenly arrived at this military town again, and immediately issued a strict order!
Armed Forces Ready!
In Haske City, a corps of the Besta Military Region was originally stationed. This time, the Governor's wife suddenly arrived and brought thousands of elite cavalry.
As for the "successor" General Lear, who was praised by some veteran officials in the military region, he simply gave up the garrison and lived in the barracks, showing a submissive attitude to the governor's wife.
The Governor's wife had returned to the capital of the military region because she heard that the old Governor was in poor health, but she suddenly turned back, but it made the generals and soldiers in Haske City puzzled.
Immediately, the order for combat readiness was passed down, and everyone was surprised...
What is even more strange is that the Governor's wife immediately called the generals to the garrison for a meeting, but when the generals arrived with orders, they found that there was already a person sitting in the council hall of the garrison.
Popovdax.
This special envoy of the Byzantine Empire's "Northern Theater".
Dax, as Char's liaison in Besta Military Region, these days, with his long sleeves and good dancing skills, he has already established many high-level figures in Besta Military Region. The guy, I am also shrewd and capable, cunning and wise, and even more cheeky. In the past few days in the Besta Military Region, I have used his hands, and his shots are also generous, and he immediately became friends with many generals of the Besta Military Region.
I heard that even the Governor's wife is very serious about this guy who looks a little rude.
But today was his own military meeting after all, but he didn't expect that this guy was also present as a nonvoting delegate
Dax is really cheeky. He came up and greeted several generals of the Besta Military Region that he knew. In his speech and demeanor, he was very affectionate, and he looked like an old oilman.
Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, in front of so many people, on such occasions, no one would openly raise their doubts.
Everyone in the council room arrived, everyone waited for a while, and then footsteps came from inside. Several real core high-level generals in the Besta Army came out, and at the end, a few armored men came out. Surrounded by personal guards, it is the actual ruler of the Besta Military Region, the Governor's wife.
The Governor-General's wife was rarely dressed in a military uniform, and her graceful body was wrapped under a delicate leather armor. A little bit of the usual charm, but a little bit more heroic.
But at this moment, there was no smile on the governor's wife's face at all, her face was serious, and even her eyes were a little more solemn than usual. Sweep the audience! With her usual prestige, the generals below immediately straightened up and saluted her neatly. Even the general Lear standing in the crowd, who had always been incompatible with her, saluted respectfully and did not dare to There is the slightest trick.
Only Dax was alone, standing aside with a lazy smile on his face, and even his salute was sparse, then he found a chair next to him at will, and closed his eyes.
The Governor's wife saw Dax's appearance and did not speak, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Everyone is here, sit down."
She raised her hand, her eyes regained a bit of peace, but her voice was still very serious.
After everyone sat down, the Governor's wife said slowly, "We called everyone to the military meeting for a major news! Our allies, six days ago, defeated the main force of the Odin Chixue Army, and now they have conquered the western part of the Empire. Ultan County! The army has divided its troops and marched eastward to restore the Corsica region, that is, in a few days!"
boom! !
Suddenly there was an uproar! !
The Governor's wife's eyes were a little complicated, she took a deep breath, and then pointed to Dax sitting in the corner next to her, her tone slightly softened: "Mr. Dax, please inform us about the battle situation."
Dax smiled, then slowly stood up and walked to the middle.
Under the countless surprised and puzzled eyes on the side, Dax coughed, cleared his throat, and then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and read it out loud in front of everyone.
"Ten days ago, the 1st Corps of the Northern Theater, the Independent Cavalry Regiment, and the 3rd Corps marched into Syltan County to fight with the Chixue Army! The 1st Corps of my Northern Theater, the Manninger Chixue Army was in front, and I became independent. The cavalry regiment, detoured and outflanked, raided the new city, forced the Manninger army to do something, and completed the encirclement under the new city.
The chief of the Chixue Army, Manninger, died of illness in the army. The Chixue Army was in chaos. My 1st Corps fought in the field under the new city under the Chixue Army. After a day of fierce battle, the soldiers of the whole army were slaughtered with blood, and they rushed into the formation six times a day. Six battles and six victories! Forcing the enemy to retreat ten miles, then my first cavalry regiment detoured on both flanks, attacked the flanks of the Chixue Army, and broke the enemy formation with one blow! The Chixue Army was defeated, and my cavalry chased and killed them along the way, without resting for three days and nights, and finally wiped out the Chixue Army! In this battle, our Northern Theater Command beheaded a total of 14,000 people and took over 30,000 prisoners..."
When reading this, Dax deliberately paused, looking at the shocked expressions on everyone around him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he took a deep breath, his eyes became sharp, slowly. Slowly spit out the last words: "More than 30,000 prisoners... let's do it!"
Do it all!
This last short sentence immediately caused an uproar in the audience! ! !
Looking at Dax's eyes, in addition to the surprise and shock just now, there is a little more fear and incredible!
Do it all! !
More than 30,000 Odin prisoners of war, all of them! !
... Actually, 30,000 prisoners of Odin were buried alive in one breath? !
So cruel! !
There were many people gasping for breath around.
…
The glamorous Governor's wife who was sitting on it, her face was sinking like water at the moment.
Her eyes seemed to be looking at the generals below, but in fact, countless thoughts flashed in her heart...
This battle report was sent by Dax in person last night, and she had already seen it.
But until this moment, even though the Governor's wife is a very smart person, she still can't contain the shock in her heart when she hears it again!
This Xia Ya thundering, actually... Really killed Chi Xuejun! !
As for how much power this ally has, the governor's wife naturally knows it. According to the information she has, the army in the hands of Marshal Xia Ya is only 20,000 people, although there are many of them. The remnants of the 7th Corps, I heard that there are some remnants of the Roderian cavalry, but more are newly recruited recruits.
Such a force that can be called a rabble, dare to launch an offensive against Syltan County! With such a move, even the Governor's wife couldn't help but think that this Xia Ya was courting her own death!
Since the Chixue Army went south, it has destroyed the 7th Corps, occupied Syltan County, and destroyed the Corsica Military Region! Can be called the elite of Odin's strong army!
Such tens of thousands of elites were actually destroyed by Xiaya's 20,000 mob? !
I heard that both Manninger and his son are not in the army!
This Xiaya, where did such a big skill come from? !
Originally, Manninger had almost all the advantages and advantages, but this Xia Ya thunder, turned the clouds and rain, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop!
From the battle report sent, it can be seen that Xia Ya's approach used the main force to attract the Manninger army to leave the nest, and then he personally led a small group of cavalry to attack the Manninger's nest, forcing the Manninger army to return to the division, and ambushed along the way. He annihilated Manninger's cavalry, made Manninger lose the most mobile troop, surrendered the initiative of the war, and finally completed the encirclement under the new city, breaking the enemy in one fell swoop...
This battle report seems simple, with only a few words, but the process is naturally not difficult to imagine, how thrilling it is! !
What kind of army is the Chixue Army? It was the pro-army of the Basak tribe, one of the five major tribes of the Odin Empire! In the Odin Empire, it is also a first-class powerful army!
He was wiped out in Syltan County in one fell swoop!
Throughout the history of the war between the two empires, the Odins have never suffered such a big loss in the past hundred years! An entire regiment was wiped out! Such a record has set a precedent for the empire in the past century!
After the news spreads all over the continent... I'm afraid, it will immediately trigger a huge frenzy!
She formed an alliance with Xia Ya that day, and most of them did not value the troops in Xia Ya's hands at all... Even to say something unpleasant, she has strong soldiers from the Besta Military Region, far superior to Xia Ya, the so-called "Northern Theater". Marshal", the reason why he chose to form an alliance with Xia Ya is because he has seen through that the rebels can't do anything, and wants to change the court as soon as possible.
And in this Xiaya, what he values most is not the 20,000 soldiers in his hands, but his title of "Marshal of the Northern Theater"! ! If the Besta Military Region wants to change camps, all it needs is a legal identity! And what Xia Ya's "Northern Theater" leader can bring to Besta Military Region is a legal identity!
But now, it seems that he has underestimated the power of this Xia's thunder!
At least, the Governor's wife believes that although the Besta Military Region is strong, if she wants to wrestle with the Chixue Army, I am afraid that she still has no such ability! The Chixue Army ate a regular regiment of the Byzantine Empire head-on, and destroyed a military district! !
But this Xia Yalei Ming actually did it!
How did this trick come about? !
And what made the governor's wife feel a little uneasy the most was that this Xia Ya thundered fiercely!
30,000 prisoners, he actually "did the pit"!
Without blinking an eyelid, he ordered 30,000 prisoners of war to be buried alive... This Xia Yaleiming, such a cruel heart! !
It is conceivable that when this news spreads across the continent, it will become the strongest note that has erupted since the Byzantine Empire fell into war!
The name of this person, Xia Ya, will be spread to the mainland in a few days, standing on the cusp of this stage with the appearance of a powerful famous general!
When I formed an alliance that day, I never expected that such a quick change would happen! He left behind the last little governor of the Corsica Military Region, Gaia, and originally planned to plot the territory of the Corsica Military Region, but he did not expect that when Xia Ya went back, he immediately launched an offensive, defeating the Chixue Army in one fell swoop! I'm afraid that now the division has moved eastward, taking advantage of the situation to sweep the Corsica Military Region!
It's ridiculous, I actually planned to wait for the spring, after the war broke out between the two companies, and then take advantage of it, but they actually did all the work in one breath, and the site was also robbed!
Rubbing her sore forehead, the Governor's wife didn't bother to pay attention to the many exclamations and noises below, but just recited a few words back and forth in her mouth...
"To the end of the pit... to the end of the pit... to the end of the pit..."
