The torrent of black cavalry swept down from the hillside, and with the momentum of thunder, slammed into the boundless wave of defeat of the rebels in the wilderness.
This hillside was not originally high, but Xiaya's more than 2,000 cavalrymen galloped down the hillside, but it seemed to fall from the sky. In this dark night, it was more like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the wave of defeat of the rebels was scattered. , where is the half-point blocking power
Xia Ya took the lead, holding the lance in his hand, and the thousands of iron cavalry behind him followed closely, slamming into the wave of the rebels' defeat!
Tiger into the flock! No, even the appearance of the rebel army at the moment, it is not even a flock of sheep, it is simply a group of lost dogs, a group of panicked rabbits.
Xia Ya's cavalry rushed down from the left front where the rebels were defeated, like a sharp knife, killing it directly from the oblique side! When rushing into the crowd, the lance in Xiaya's hand swept across, and instantly brought a red light, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere! The elite cavalry behind them are like killing gods, and they can easily rush in almost unhindered under the trampling of iron hooves!
Kill! This is simply a complete killing!
The rebels didn't seem to have any intention of resisting at all. They ran and fled all the way, and their morale had already collapsed. Seeing that such a group of murderous cavalry suddenly rushed in from the side, they rushed into the defeated team. The torrent of iron cavalry seems to have eroded the tide of the defeat of the rebels, and as far as the iron hoof reaches, all the rebels blocking the front are turned into pieces!
At this time, there is no one who can resist, just screaming desperately, struggling to move his legs to escape.
Xia Ya led the cavalry into the rout of the team without encountering any obstructions. His spear had already harvested countless lives in a matter of moments. Under the iron hoof, he did not know how many unlucky rebels were trampled on. turned into meat.
In the dark night, Xia Ya and his cavalry galloped hard over this wilderness, and soon directly cut a huge gap from the side of the wave of the defeat of the rebels, and Xia Ya was covered with With fresh blood, he rushed the cavalry to the far side of the wilderness in one breath. When he turned his head to look, he found that he had already rushed out of the defeated team of the rebels. It's blood, one by one like hell ghosts. With such a charge just now, it was easy to pierce the defeated rebels from the side. The rebels had no resistance, and they almost let Xi Ya's cavalry harvest their lives as much as they wanted, and the remaining rebels were still scattered. running towards the south.
Xia Ya took a deep breath. For him, such a slaughter could not inspire half of his fighting spirit. After frowning, he turned his head and shouted: "Divided troops! Take the squad as a unit, divide and destroy them!"
The cavalry under Xia Ya, even if they are not the top 500 cavalry, the rest are from Rodriguez cavalry, which one is not the elite of a hundred battles? Pursuing the enemy, splitting and destroying this tactic can be easily executed even with eyes closed.
As soon as Xia Ya's order was received, the cavalry immediately whistled, and automatically dispersed according to the squad. The squad of fifty cavalry quickly dispersed towards the four sides of the wilderness, and divided the defeated rebel wave in small pieces. stand up.
This time, it was like turning into countless sharp knives, and the huge fat meat of the defeated brigade of the rebels was immediately cut into pieces!
Historically, in wars, if the defeated side is pursued by cavalry, it is often a one-sided slaughter. What's more, these first-class elites under Xia Ya
Most of the rebels were originally infantry. In the wilderness, even if they were running, how could two legs outrun a four-legged horse? The Roderian cavalry had excellent tactics, and the execution of this small tactic of division and annihilation was superb. Suddenly, there were screams and screams from all sides on the battlefield. Many rebels were caught up and trapped by the cavalry. The brave can only take up arms and fight to the death, but they are immediately crushed by the cavalry. And some who have lost their courage can only throw away the weapons in their hands in despair, kneeling directly on the ground with their heads in their hands and begging for mercy.
Char Ya only had his top five hundred cavalry left behind, and he still galloped back and forth across the wilderness with these five hundred cavalry, as long as he found a small group of defeated rebels gathered together and resisted stubbornly. The trend, he immediately rushed up with the top 500 cavalry, and directly defeated the opponent's small group, so that the rebels did not have the slightest chance to breathe and organize resistance.
Xia Ya even more carefully searched for the target. Although most of the tide of defeat was infantry, there were also a few rebels on horseback. I think they were probably the generals and officers among the rebels. The cavalry guards fled.
These people are also unlucky. Xia threw the small fish to his subordinates, and with a strong cavalry, he naturally concentrated on finding the big fish in these waves. Whenever he saw a small group of rebel cavalry, Xia Ya immediately took people. He roared, and he didn't bother to care who the opponent was. He just slammed and punched, no matter whether you were a general or a governor, go up and pierce it with a spear, or cut off your head with a fire fork, and then take the cavalry down. A target ran away.
With such a fight, Xia Ya didn't have time to reap the results. It was not until he cleaned up the battlefield that he discovered that there were four generals and two governor-level figures among the rebels who died under him, but it was an unexpected gain.
Xia Ya fought here to have a meal. Most of the rebels in the mountains and plains have given up their resistance. Most of them surrendered in place, and only a small part went north. Embrace this huge tide of rout, but Xia Ya is not worried. He knows that there are thousands of cavalry from the Besta military region in the town to the north. Although the cavalry of the Besta military region will not be the elite of their own troops, but he is here. After such a long delay, the other party should have finished lining up their troops. The small half of the rebels who slipped through the net will be handed over to the troops of the Besta Military Region to clean up.
Xia Ya took the 500 strong cavalry all the way, and simply went all the way to the south. On the way, he encountered the defeated rebels, and he simply ignored it and pushed the cavalry directly along the front of the wilderness. The rout of the killed rebels fled.
After charging all the way, I ran for a moment, and suddenly heard the sound of bugles and horses' hooves coming from the south. As soon as Xi Ya heard it, it was the bugle of the Byzantine Empire Army. Seeing a group of cavalry, driving a large group of defeated rebels, chasing and killing them, it was like driving a flock of sheep.
The number of imperial cavalry chasing the rebels was not large. It looked like only a few hundred, and the team was a little scattered. Although the team of the expelled rebels was scattered and could not be broken into an army, they were scattered on the wilderness. There are also tens of thousands or so. And the commander of the chasing imperial cavalry seemed to be very experienced, and the cavalry did not stick too close, but kept blowing trumpets and shouting, with a strong momentum behind, driving the rebels to run all the way, as long as the rebels The pace was a little slower, with the intention of stopping to rectify the organization of resistance, and immediately led the cavalry to accelerate the pace and rushed to the fight. After breaking the resistance, he slowed down and made a loud noise. It is clear that it is to deliberately frighten the rebels and let the other party run hard - this method of chasing and killing is the most cunning and cunning. It doesn't really work hard with the rebels, but only drives the rebels to run, so that the other party runs first and exhausts his physical strength. , and finally won it in one fell swoop, but it saved a lot of effort.
Xia Ya took the top 500 horses to the south, but happened to meet this group of rebels head-on. How could Xia Ya be polite, and directly killed him with his men and horses, sweeping all the way, blood and flesh flying, these rebels ran away In the middle of the night, I was already exhausted. Seeing the cavalry coming towards me, most of them dispersed to both sides, and some simply fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
With a whistle, Xia Ya and his cavalry suddenly turned around and ran to the left side, and walked in a circle directly over the wilderness, before slowing down and finally stopping. From a distance, the imperial cavalry on the opposite side that was chasing down the rebels had also stopped. They were looking at each other across the distance. From a distance, the imperial cavalry seemed a little restless, as if they couldn't figure out what Xi Ya was. The origin of the cavalry is somewhat hesitant.
The two cavalrymen looked at each other from a distance, but in the middle of the wilderness, most of the rebels had already kneeled on the ground and surrendered, but none of the cavalrymen on both sides rushed forward.
Xia Ya pondered for a while, and then whispered: "Blow the bugle to show your identity."
The cavalry behind them took out their horns—most of the cavalry regiment under Char Yah’s command was from Rodriguez cavalry. After the army was founded, the cavalry’s bugles also inherited the traditional horn rhythm of the Rodriguez cavalry. At this moment, the iconic Roderian cavalry horn sounded, and the sharp and short horn passed, and the cavalry on the opposite side seemed to be shaken immediately.
Immediately, Xia Ya took the lead, the cavalry behind him followed, and the team slowly moved forward, lined up towards the opposite side. All the way, the rebels in the wilderness who were kneeling and surrendering bowed their heads one after another, daring not to make the slightest move, for fear that they would misunderstand them and lead to killing.
Xia Ya led people to run less than 100 meters away from the cavalry, and then slowly stopped. Looking at it from a distance, what made Xia frown was that this imperial cavalry chasing the rebels was not only small in number, There are only three or five hundred cavalry, and even the queue is a bit scattered. Among the cavalry, the mounts are mixed, and some of the cavalry's mounts are not even war horses, but are filled with some horses or mules to make up the number. And the dresses on these "cavalry", only a few are standard imperial cavalry armor, while more are wearing the light armor of imperial infantry, even the weapons are a bit messy, a few people use cavalry lances, As for those wearing infantry armor, many of them used long swords or war knives used by infantry soldiers.
Such a cavalry, at first glance, is simply a group of rabble. But he never imagined that he would be able to chase the tens of thousands of rebels and fight all the way.
But soon, Xia Ya saw a familiar tall and mighty figure in the cavalry team of the "rabble crowd". He was sure of this, and then he laughed out loud, and slowly rode his horse onto it.
The tall and mighty figure in the distance was sitting on a warhorse, right in the front row of the cavalry. Seeing that Xia Ya rode up on his horse, he immediately heard a slightly hoarse but vigorous shout: "In front of the cavalry. Who is it? Immediately report the military number!"
When Xiaya heard this voice, she was even more determined, and laughed loudly: "General Butler, it's me! I'm Xiaya, and Xiaya thunders!"
The tall and mighty figure on the opposite side was shocked, and then came a heroic and hearty laughter, which was full of surprises and fun: "Xia Ya? Little Xia? Haha! It's actually you little guy!"
※※※
The tall and mighty general who led the hundreds of rabble to hunt down the rebels was none other than Butler! It turns out that Xi Ya knew this Butler when he was still working in the Rodriguez Cavalry Regiment. At that time, this mighty middle-aged general with silver hair was serving as the flag officer of the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Rodriguez Cavalry Regiment. After a war with the Odins, because several other central corps of the empire were severely damaged in the war, in order to rebuild, a group of core generals were recruited from the Roderian cavalry regiment, and the silver-haired man Butler. , was transferred to the general of the Ninth Corps of the Empire, which is regarded as a promotion and officially entered the ranks of the first-line senior generals of the Empire.
At the same time, Sosia, the flag officer of the 1st Banner Regiment of the former Rodriguez Cavalry Regiment, was transferred to the position of General of the 2nd Regiment.
The arrangement of the empire is to draw the backbone of the empire's most elite army and use it to rebuild other corps. In another sense, the transfer of the oldest officers among these Rodriguez cavalry was also to make room for Ruhr, who was the next general of the Rodrigues, to take over. Especially the Socia, who was originally Adric's successor when he was in the Rodriguez Corps. As a result, after Adric was transferred, the empire sent Ruhl to take over as the general. In order to avoid embarrassment, he simply The transfer of Sosia to another corps as a general is also considered a promotion, a little consolation.
The departure of the empire has a very tight grip on the military power of the Central Corps, especially the generals and officers. In order to prevent the generals from embracing their own troops, and to prevent the situation of the governor of the Tema military region being separated, they have never let a general serve in a unit. The commander has been taking too long, and after a period of time, he always has to adjust and transfer away. It is also a kind of check and balance.
The Butler in front of Char at this moment is one of the backbones of the former Rodriguez cavalry.
In the battle of Osgilia, at the beginning of the war, he brought his troops to the aid of the King of Osgilia, and the Second Corps led by Sosia arrived together.
At that time, the two flag-holding officers who were transferred out at the same time, in the early days of the war, each brought their own regiments to help the imperial capital, and also fought a few solid battles with the rebels.
But the situation in the early days of the war was not very optimistic.
Although the two generals were veterans from the Rodriguez Corps, they were brave and good at fighting, but the troops they commanded, the Second Corps and the Ninth Corps, were all weak.
The Second Corps, in particular, was attacked by Hasting's Black Flag Army in the last war against Odin, almost annihilating the entire army, and almost lost its designation. After the war, the only way to rebuild after the war was to try to get it from other troops. Most of the backbones were recruited or recruited by local garrison troops.
When the civil war broke out, the reconstruction work of the two corps was only less than half completed. The soldiers were incomplete, the organizational structure was incomplete, and even the training was not perfect. Most of the recruits and local garrison troops were recruited. The quality of the staff is really poor. The most terrible thing is that the soldiers are also greatly lacking. The two corps are the first-line central army of the imperial standard. According to the establishment of each corps, there should be 20,000 people, but in fact, when the civil war broke out, the second corps only had no more than 20,000 troops. Eight thousand people, the Ninth Corps is slightly better, but less than 13,000.
The two generals were eager to serve the country and had no choice. They could only bite the bullet and pull the troops to help the imperial capital. After arriving at the imperial capital, the imperial capital was already surrounded by the rebels. Both of them were weak in strength and could not enter the city. They simply joined forces and stationed far outside the city to confront the rebels. Played a few games.
The two generals are good at fighting, but the quality of the troops under them is really not on the table. After daring to deal with the rebels for a few days, there is finally a shortage of supplies, food and grass are not good, and the rebels are increasingly persecuting. Can temporarily pull the troops out of the theater a little later. I found a small town in the northwest direction of Osgilia to maintain a weak deterrent to Osgilia, but in fact it was difficult to play any role.
The rebels separated a group of troops and stood in front of them, cutting off contact with Osgilia and maintaining the momentum of coercion. Although the two generals had the intention to kill the enemy at that time, but their soldiers were few and few, and their subordinates were rabble, and even food was in short supply, so they had to shrink again and again.
Until the news of the city's destruction in Osgilia came, the two of them lost their minds. They only felt that the situation was over, and they simply pulled out their horses to prepare and prepare for a desperate fight with the rebels who were watching them in front of them, but the situation happened again. changed...
※※※
At this moment, Butler recognized Xia Ya, the guard in his heart finally dissipated, and the old man in the army met. They also dismounted, the two walked to one place, first looked at each other, then Butler hugged Xia Ya fiercely, and then patted Xia Ya's back a few times, with a bold tone: "Not bad. Not bad! Sure enough, you are the little guy! I knew you were a character from the beginning, but now it seems that you have grown up!"
Immediately after Butler let go of Char, it was only then that Char could see the old general in the original Rodriguez cavalry army.
His originally iconic silver hair had already been dyed with blood, and his face was naturally full of blood. His original mighty appearance had lost a lot of weight, and he looked more haggard than before, but the straight The body still carried the heroic spirit that is unique to the Rodriguez cavalry.
Judging from the qualifications of the two, in the Rodriguez Army, Char Ya was only a personal guard of General Adric, but the other side was the flag officer of the flag regiment. The veteran did not dare to put on airs, and respectfully gave a military salute to his subordinates.
Butler was very excited. He glanced at the quiet hundreds of horses behind Xi Ya. Seeing that the hundreds of horses were closely lined up, they stayed quietly in the distance. Although there was no movement, they were murderous. The smell of the stock is strong, and the smell of the coercive coercion, almost hurts the eyes of people who are about to stab!
Butler was born in the Rodriguez Army, and his eyes were naturally different. He immediately saw the unusualness of this cavalry, and couldn't help but his face changed slightly: "Good guy! Such a heroic army! Little Char, this cavalry. , it's all yours?"
Xi Ya smiled: "General, most of them are the old men of our Rodriguez cavalry!"
After a pause, Xi Ya glanced at Butler: "This is not the time to reminisce, General, let's clear the battlefield first, and then talk slowly."
Butler readily agreed, and then the two sides joined forces. The cavalry began to clear the battlefield, gathered the surrendered rebels who were kneeling all over the ground, collected their weapons, and lined up to guard them.
Butler had already pulled Xi Ya to a place with a slightly higher terrain, and immediately couldn't help holding Xi Ya's arm impatiently: "Little Xi Ya! I know you should be working in More County! Why not? You have come all the way here?! I heard that the Odins have already invaded south, and your Moor County is the first place where their troops are! Syltan County heard that they were lost! You came here Well... Could it be that the northern site has been lost... "
Xia smiled: "General Butler, don't worry about the north. I, Xia, came out of Rodia. If the north was really occupied by the Odins, how could I be here! Let's come out of Rodia There is no tradition of deserters!"
The implication: Since I can appear here, the problem of the north has naturally been solved by me.
Butler was greatly surprised to hear it, but Xiaya didn't wait for him to ask any more, and already spoke first: "Sir, this time I'm going south to the King of Qin in the Imperial Capital... This battle tonight makes me feel strange, I'm on the way here. I also heard that the rebels are entrenched outside the city, why did they suddenly collapse tonight?"
When he said this, Butler's expression suddenly became excited, his eyes were full of light, and he laughed a few times bravely and cheerfully: "Speaking of tonight, this battle is a joy! Sent it out! Hahahaha!!"
Immediately, this heroic general said something about the ins and outs of the defeat of the rebels tonight...
