Views:

Just as Allaire and the others set out for the city of Sitya, the Hessian Empire’s right-back general had ordered 50,000 horses. After swearing at the Imperial Colonel’s military field, he set off with Samara as the vanguard of the 5,000 knight camp. , And sent pigeons to the governor of Longaland Province, Farhad, to strengthen the defense of Gulongdu, and the rebels were not allowed to cross the Longxing River one step, and persisted until the army arrived. After the dispatch was stopped, the drums went on.

The vanguard set off first, followed by a steady stream of troops, making the scene extremely spectacular. 30,000 swordsman camps, 20,000 knights camps of 50,000, and 100,000 heavy auxiliary soldiers, marching mighty and mighty, looking from a distance like a long snake winding on the road, the darkness is overwhelming. It gives people an unstoppable confidence.

It would take two months to make a quick march from Kathmandu to Gulongdu, and at this time, Sangmara was marching with five thousand vanguards about thirty miles away from the main force. Samara couldn't help but remember the situation when he first joined the army. He never thought that one day he would be able to participate in a war that would overthrow a dynasty. In that war, his recruit was overwhelmed by the current imperial emperor through the bravery of fighting. Second praise, in the last battle, he was the first to rush into the palace. He also personally learned about the last emperor of the Drakeel dynasty. Therefore, Gong was able to be named the prince of the empire and the guard of the emperor. The post of a general, but who knows that it has only been seventeen years, the place where he originally started was the first place he went to crusade, all kinds of entanglement and laughter haunted his mind, but he But he has never regretted it. Finally, the royal family depends on what kind of royal family it is. He knows that the current emperor can really be regarded as a good emperor, but it is a pity that God seems to be against him. There is no real one in the country. Stable, peaceful days are really tempting, but it is so difficult to get it.

The army was marching fast in this way, and General Youwei had already sent a message. The whole army only rested for four hours a day, and the march at full speed was to arrive in Longaland Province within one month. Therefore, pedestrians and caravans on the road can see a dragon of smoke and dust sweeping by and whizzing by, leaving only the smoke and dust still in the air, but there is no silhouette of people and only the sound of running and The voice of the officer urging to advance also brought the neigh of war horses.

The Principality of Hejia has received the news that the empire is about to send a large army to conquer, and the commanders of several principalities are discussing countermeasures in the combat chamber of the principality at this time.

"Duke, at this time, we should forcefully cross the Longxing River to take the Gulongdu, and send heavy guards at Sagaburg. As long as the Gulongdu is taken, we can fight by the river, and afterwards, there is the Sagaburg to take the soldiers. The continuous delivery will avoid fighting on the mainland of the principality, which is conducive to our stability in the country." said Aziz, the first commander in chief of the principality.

"Grand Duke, I think Marshal Aziz’s opinion is very good. It will take two months for the imperial army to march quickly in Longaland Province. In these two months, we should be able to take the Gulongdu. Bringing the flames of war out of the country is the best strategy in reality, so please announce it." said Jia Si, the right minister of the Principality.

"I don't know how much troops the general commander does not need to take the Gulongdu?" Grand Duke Ivan asked, looking at Aziz.

"According to reports, Gulongdu had already sent more troops to garrison a few days ago. Now there are about 10,000 people there. We are rushing to cross the Longxing River again. Although the Longxing River is not in the flood period at this time, the river water is relatively high. The shallow and big boats cannot be transported, so we can only use small boats to transport the soldiers. This will give the opponent a chance to give us a half-way attack. Therefore, let’s make a sound attack. On the bright side, we are rushing across the Longxing River to grab the Gulongdu. And secretly, let’s choose a place where the river is the shallowest, and wading from the east side of Gulongdu to the back to give them a fatal blow, so that Gulongdu will be in our hands. Therefore, the subordinates think that 10,000 people are facing the front. Rush to cross, and the five thousand knights will carry out a sneak attack. This battle will surely do its best."

"Haha, the commander is a good calculation, this plan is very good. According to my father's word, Aziz led the army of 20,000 horses for the conquest of Peking University, and he was ready to go on the expedition five days later."

After Aziz took the order, everyone left the combat chamber, and each prepared to go.

Five days later, Aziz led 20,000 soldiers out of the city of Matrayi, the duke king, and marched towards Saga Fort.

When Amala was marching to the border between Isumara and Longaran, he received an urgent report from Samara that the Gulongdu battle was in a tight situation. He had already led the five thousand knights to rush to support. The situation is not very clear at present. It is just that the Gulongdu garrison suffered heavy losses when the enemy was attacked on both sides, and the reinforcements sent from Huolin City were also beaten back by the enemy by the method of encircling the enemy, and Qi came to the city. Although the reinforcements of the army have arrived, it will take two days for the large troops to set off from the city, so Gulongdu may not last long. After reading the battle report, Amala was so angry that he tore the battle report to pieces, shouting loudly: "Trash, it's all a bunch of trash. It's not enough, but it's more than defeat. The order is that General Sangmara will help Gulong as quickly as possible. Ferry, be sure to persist for ten days, waiting for the support of the army. Another rumor has it that the whole army accelerates and each takes ten days of dry food to advance lightly. The army will be sent with 5,000 soldiers to escort the heavy army forward. An hour later, the troops will send Gulongdu ."

The general's orders were passed to the battalions, and the camp suddenly started to move.

On April 20 of the calendar 3330, Grand Marshal Aziz of the Principality of Hejia brought 20,000 soldiers to Saga Fort. After carefully understanding the situation of Gulongdu and the water regime of the Longxing River, he arranged manpower on the upper reaches of the river. After finding two sections of shallow rivers with the downstream, and after personal inspection, they decided to carry out smuggling downstream. Zizig was responsible for the smuggling, and he was personally directing the smuggling.

On April 27th, 3330, the battle that was called "the first battle for Gulongdu" started.

This morning, Aziz summoned Zizig in front of him and told him to go to that section of the river first and be prepared. When all the enemy’s attention was drawn here, they remember to be concealed before embarking on a smuggling. , Zizig led the Five Thousand Knights to leave the camp and lay in ambush in a hidden place.

He left General Finca and gave him a battalion of five thousand swordsmen to strengthen Sagaburg’s defensive force, which made Finca a little confused, "It doesn’t matter if the generals have fewer ferrymen on the front line. Besides, Sagaburg does not need to be defended. Currently."

"Finka, you lose before you win. There is nothing foolproof in this world. It's always good to be more prepared. Go ahead."

After Finca took the order, he led five thousand swordsmen to garrison Sagaburg.

Aziz said loudly to the mixed group of 10,000 swordsmen and knights: "Jiro, today you are the bait. Are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid, for the principality!" 10,000 people shouted.

"Well, you are all brave fighters of the Principality. Since you are fighters, you must fight for the country and for your family. Those imperial bastards want to burn the war back to our homeland, what do you say?"

"kill!"

"Yes, kill! Kill them back, so that they never dare to attack us again, dare not to bully us, one day we will go to Kathmandu, children, go, and take Gulongdu in our hands. Set off!!"

Ten thousand hateful soldiers marched toward Longxing River with firm steps.

"General, the soldiers of the Hejia Principality have begun to cross the river." A soldier ran into Gulongdu, guarding Stark's camp report.

"What? The soldiers of the Hoja Principality began to cross the river. General Adam was ordered to bring three thousand swordsmen to support the front line, telling Adam to send them back when they were halfway across the river, and order the other generals to be in a big tent. Meeting." General Stark quickly passed the general order.

In a short while, several generals came to Stark’s big tent, fully armed, and after seeing the ceremony, General Stark ordered Mi Xingsi to lead two thousand knights to inspect the lower reaches of the river to see if there were any enemies smuggling from the shallow river. , He Silin led two thousand knights to patrol the upper reaches. Ask Justin to go to the forefront with the main general to see how the battle is going. Everyone took their orders and arranged their own arrangements.

General Stark took Justin and his five hundred guards to the forefront. When he saw the soldiers of the Hejia Principality crossing the river with fishing boats, he couldn't help but smile a little contemptuously, thinking that he really didn't know Mi Leng. But how did those generals in Yi province get defeated? Seeing that these people do not seem to be able to fight, they should cross the river secretly at this time, and they should be able to successfully cross the river when they are scattered into small groups. Do you really know that there is only one life

Some of the soldiers of the Principality had reached half of the Longxing River, and they heard Adam shouting loudly, and the archers in the front row let out arrows. I saw a thousand archers hand the longbow in his hand and shoot one arrow toward the soldiers of the principality on the boat in the river, as if the principality gave the imperial archers a chance to practice moving targets. After a round of arrow rain, many soldiers from the Principality have fallen into the water. Although the water is shallow, it is enough to drown people. Another round of arrow rain fell, taking away the lives of hundreds of principality soldiers, but these principality soldiers seemed not afraid of death at all. Those who did not fall into the river continued to shake the boat and rush towards the other side. After several rounds of arrow rain harvested the lives of nearly 2,000 soldiers from the Principality, some of the soldiers from the Principality finally grabbed the ford. They waved their swords and rushed towards the Empire’s archers, shouting orders to protect the archers in Adam. Next, three thousand imperial swordsmen rushed up with Adam, and the two men and horses began a close combat. The screams of killing, the clash of swords and swords, the screams are endless. As the two thousand death squads boarded the shoal and fought with the enemy, it provided protection for the subsequent soldiers of the Principality. Because the empire’s archers were pulled apart by nearly 5,000 people in the middle, they could no longer do anything to the soldiers crossing the river. What a threat, a steady stream of soldiers from the Principality then boarded the shallows. With the addition of this new force, Adam's three thousand swordsmen were already a little overwhelmed, and they were retreating a little bit.

General Stark was in a bad condition, and immediately left the three thousand swordsmen in the camp outside the one thousand guard camp, and all the others came to support, so that the two commanders of Mi Xingsi and He Silin immediately led the troops back to support.

The war has entered a white-hot stage in the efforts of countless lives. For their different pursuits and beliefs, the soldiers and generals of the two sides raised their sharp weapons and used force to prove that they were correct.
