: 1815 Falcon's Arrow (5)

Philippine Province, the city of Picardy,
The black clouds are very low from the ground, like a black lid on it. A team of Gaul cavalry came out of the city gate. At the front was a spirited old man wearing white silver noble armor, passing the door. At that time, a middle-aged guard saluted him,
The old man stopped the horse and glanced at the guard. "Lulan, is there any special situation today?"
"No, Lord Duke!" the gate guard replied loudly, wearing a broad-brimmed metal helmet, holding a long-handled tomahawk in his hand and holding his head. The Duke's direct name to him made him look excited.
"Lu Lan, take out the momentum of a veteran, pay attention to it, and report it immediately!"
"Relax, Lord Duke, if an enemy comes, I will sound the alarm bell as soon as possible!"
"Then, Piccadilly gave it to you!"
Duke Saran nodded and continued to ride on a horse, followed by three sergeants, the thin guard captain Weiss, the city guard officer Lewin was a little fat, and the last one was responsible for recruiting recruits Simon , Thin body, with a trace of arrogance on his face, when his eyes swept over you, it was like a dazzling javelin, bringing a kind of toughness from the military
Their goal is a recruit training camp in Sanli,
In July, in response to the tense situation, Gaul Kyoto issued a regional order to recruit soldiers on its own. Duke Saran, who had served in the Imperial Army Department, decisively sold most of the family's industry and recruited one with 200,000 gold coins. Regional troops of three thousand people. This unit is the life of Duke Saran,
The trainer is Viscount Simon, a serious combat officer. A traditional Gaulian officer who once served as an adjutant in the Eleventh Army of the Gaul Empire for 11 years. The combat experience is average, but the training experience is rich. The biggest advantage is that this Simon trainer is a Pikadi. Everyone’s goals are the same,
The province of Phillip is a huge flat land in the hinterland of Gaul. The land is fertile, and the products are abundant. In the history of the Gaul Empire, the Gaul Army once swept the Northwest to stop supplying sufficient military supplies and supplies. There has been more than one hundred times. There is no foreign war threatening this piece of land located in the hinterland of the Empire. Area, people here. Although nervous, but also comfortable,
Picardy is located in the southwest corner of the province of Philip, close to Danny on the frontline of the war, so the frontline is more familiar than other regions. Duke Saran looked up at the sky. Some worry that if this continuous rainy season is over, will the Falcon Army's soldiers avoid Danni and go directly to Philip's province? In that case, the city of Picardy in the southwest corner will bear the brunt! This is the idea of ​​the Duke of Saran. The Duke of Saran, who was born in the military department, is very confident that "the falcon army that is pinned in the direction of Darni. Once released from the rainy season, the Bikadi region will definitely be the first attack point !"
He is in the name of the district administrator. Submitted this idea to Governor Harald of the province, and believed that the province should place the currently recruited troops in the direction of Bikadi,
But Governor Harald's reply to him is that it is impossible. First, most of the regional legions that can be mobilized have been transferred to the front line. Second, the troops left behind are all troops that were organized by nobles in various provinces in July. , A crowd of one or two thousand people, but a small but fifty or sixty people, densely packed, swarming up, everyone wants to recruit private armed forces belonging to their own family through this decree of Kyoto, the total number adds up to tens of thousands There are a lot of people, but in command, they are on their own and cannot coordinate at all. These are private armed forces similar to the local defense team.
Third, just as Duke Saran thought that the Falcons would first attack Picardy, other regions have the same idea. Everyone wants to protect themselves first, or use the power in their hands to obtain more benefits. Even Harald, governor of the province, has no power to mobilize their soldiers
The Governor’s Mansion has a regular military garrison regiment of 2,000 people, but that is the final military force that guards the capital of the province. This unit cannot be left to the capital of the province according to the imperial military regulations. Otherwise, it will have been transferred to the front. Battlefield,
The situation in Dani is like a tight line, not only involving the Dani region, but also involving the Gaul hinterland behind,
Since the governor’s office is unreliable, Duke Saran can only find other ways. Fortunately, the road to no one else has always been regarded as the most unpopular person in Philip’s province, and suddenly a batch of armor and armor will be sold. The man’s name was Angelio, and the new inspector in the Philip district of Kyoto has heard new news. The inspector rose again and will soon leave the tense Philip district to go to Kyoto to serve as the deputy officer of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although the rank is not high, after all, he is also a big figure at the ministerial level.
Selling most of the assets, buying the next three thousand sets of infantry equipment from the outgoing inspector, this is already the limit that the Duke of Saran can bear. If you don’t encounter the main force of the Falcon Army, but only a few scattered small units, you can still deal with it.
But I don’t know what the situation is. Duke Saran has been restless since he got up today. His heart is always depressed. He didn’t look better until he saw the battle flag of the military camp. The military camp was not big, and he spent all his money on recruitment. On the soldiers and weapons, the cost of constructing the military barracks is minimal, so the barracks are very simple. The outer periphery is a wooden fence that forms a square along the mound. At the four corners of the wooden fence, the flag of the Gaul army is in the wind. Waving, on the Guangping outside the camp, the newly recruited recruits were doing line-up training. The recruits of about 3,000 people were divided into six teams, and each team had three teams, like a tofu cube. This is the infantry phalanx used by Gaul troops. In front of the queue is a row of upright wooden posts. This is the "enemy" of the recruits wielding their weapons.
Duke Saran looked at the scene in front of him, the old face glowed red for the first time, only here, this old army talent could smell a breath of air from the battlefield. The peace in the Philip region has been too long, and for a long time the smell of war has been forgotten. Only the battle-hardened old duke could have foreseen a storm coming here,
The sky was a bit gloomy, there was no sun, the dark green leaves floated in the wind, and the quietly hot heat came from the face, clearly telling everyone that the heat was coming to an end. The rainy season is coming to an end. The simple barracks and rows of weapons cannot cover up the figures of the recruits. The rapid and sharp whistle constantly breaks the short-lived tranquility, followed by the sound of the tidal waves, as if resounding through the sky. It seems that countless giants are beating the war drums of the earth, and the Gaul flag flying in the wind is like a flame. In the field near the late autumn, the old duke stands on the high ground of the camp, his eyes narrowed slightly. line
The area where Phipp's flat field meets Danni. The horseshoe nailed with a thick curved horse iron is like a sharp razor, tearing the ground completely, and turning it into black pieces in the east and west. These wet mud splashed up and slapped mercilessly on the swamp ground. On the mire. At noon, a thin black line appeared in the distance of the horizon.
Wow la la... la la la la la..."
Countless long and exciting sounds, as the black line came from afar, the earth seemed to be covered by the black line, and the black line became larger and larger. It is also getting wider and wider. In this group of oceans, a banner with a crescent moon and starlight is displayed in the wind. It was a dense layer of cavalry, congested in this fertile land, between horses and horses, almost connected by horseshoes,
Gazing across the vast land in front, Duo Weiyan, wearing a prairie general armor, raised the whip in his hand, and in his mouth read a long list of tribal names "Bai Sa, Caroline, Zamu Siran... . To the east! The others followed me to the west!
The tribal chiefs who heard the order immediately divided into two directions, and the 60,000 grassland cavalrymen who crossed the boundary between Danni and Philip were like waves in a tropical storm, and they were like floods, aggressions, and fires. Swept forward, wherever he passed, he was submerged by the sea of ​​black armor formed on the cavalry,
Under the black clouds, the rapidly flying black clouds have almost no gaps. The rumbling horseshoe sounds like a thunder, which makes the wind and clouds between the world and the world.
Countless flying horseshoes stepped over the plains, bringing up gravel and grass withered and weeding them into a tornado-like team. The gravel rushed back and forth in the dense horseshoe until they were completely crushed. Disappeared in the violent cold wind, the prairie cavalry advanced very quickly,
Skilled horsemanship has given the grassland people a unique understanding, a large number of people, but no chaos,
Wan Ma is moving, but keeps an amazing forward speed. It is like a machine with extreme precision. It is easy to give the illusion that if someone falls in the middle, he will be crushed and crushed immediately. Melting on the earth. I can't see the slightest trace anymore.
The sturdy prairie horse does not care about the existence of wild grass and gravel on the plains. They spread their hooves at the fastest speed, and like the wind, they are free to ride in this large and thin soil. On the ground, the ground shattered under the splash of horseshoes, or was deeply stepped into the ground,
Occasionally, there are one or two thicker pieces of mud, which are danced by the horseshoe belt and distribute a dazzling light under the eyes. There is no abundant water plants or rich prey here. It is not worthy of their nostalgia, and it is not worth them to slow down. Their sight is from afar.
The King of Khan only gave fifteen days. In order to let all ethnic groups' "hunting" of interest this time not run to the last two hands, they came to compensate for themselves. The fat man also deliberately gave each of the two troops to choose. The two guides who are familiar with the Gaul area are all inside Lieutenants of the Empire who specialize in studying Gaul intelligence.
When they were guides, they were also responsible for recording the work along the way. As soon as they crossed the border of Dani, the patriarchs immediately found their associated guides. When they were overwhelmed, they asked, "Which region of Gaul is richest!"
The guide who was born as a lieutenant looked at the grassland patriarchs with green eyes all around, hesitated, and replied, "The place where Gaul's last money is, naturally is the Gaul Kyoto area. It is said that the treasures there It became a mountain, the most densely populated area, the most luxuriant business, and the most concentrated wealth in the Gaul Empire. Anyone who breaks into a town can harvest millions of wealth. Women and more can't be counted! If you can grab it once..." The wizard showed a longing look, and licked his lips very frivolously. A sentence pops out, "It is estimated that it is enough to lie down for eight lifetimes!
The patriarchs glanced at each other, and their hearts moved. There was also some hesitation. Some people said that Gaul Kyoto was too far away. King Khan only gave fifteen days.
A glance at these unreliable prairie buns, the guide said disdainfully, "Although Kyoto is a thousand miles away from Darni, but for the highly mobile prairie cavalry, eight days are enough to cross At this distance, there are seven days left for everyone to hunt wildly! King Khan gave 15 days of complete looting time. But it has not been said that back and forth must be completed within fifteen days. As for the areas passing by along the way, completely You can return to the road and plunder once again after the fifteen-day robbery deadline, but according to the rules, one-fifth of the looted property will be turned over to the Khan King after fifteen days!"
After listening to the guide, the grassland patriarchs felt very reasonable. The patriarch of the Baier tribe directly put the Samsung Sanyue Battle Banner in front of the army into the hands of the guide, and sent a thousand of the bravest soldiers of the tribe to guard the guide. In this way, the goal of the tribal leaders who divided the two. , Coincidentally took a fancy to the richest area of ​​Gaul, Gaul Kyoto area! Sixty thousand grassland cavalry is like two arrows. From the bow string called Vickia Falcon, toward the Gaul's heart,
The analysis of Duke Saran is correct
Because the direction was pointing in the direction of Gaul Kyoto at the same time, the two forces of the prairie people lacked interest in the hinterland called Philip's hinterland, but it was a pity. The city of Piccadilly in the southwest corner is at the beginning of this attack line, which also caused the death of more than two million Gauls. Thirty-nine prosperous cities were devastated by a huge military disaster in just half a month, and were historically designated as the
Pikadi disaster

When the prairie cavalry forward appeared in the Picardy region, Duke Saran was about to come down from the outpost. He heard the slamming bell from the lookout tower, "West, enemy, a large number of enemies!" The sentinel's voice seemed very flustered, and in the direction of the sentinel's shouting, Duke Saran took a breath of air.
The gray and dark sky seems to be condensed with a large black moving at a high speed in the distance,
"Cavalry, enemy cavalry, hurry up, get on the springboard!"
The sentry saw the entire row of turbulent horses and the knight above, and his heart almost jumped out. The knight was on the horse, wearing thin armor. Carrying bows and arrows, bending down, tightly against his horse's back, his feet firmly clamped the horse's belly, and raised the speed of the war horse to the limit, like a sharp arrow through this vast and barren land. At this moment, the air seemed to be very heavy, and the breathing was very difficult. The recruits picked up their weapons in a hurry and ran on the wooden fence of the camp. This was the first battle of most recruits, and the heart beat quickly. An endless sense of tension shrouded in silence from all directions, and the trombone sound of the rush of war echoed in his ears,
"Somehow to stop them, for Gaul! And for the city of Picardy!" Thinking of the city behind the barracks, the old duke pulled out his sword with a determined face, and the military camp was less than three miles from the city of Picardy. If it could not be stopped The words of these cavalry soldiers, once the barracks were breached, the city of Piccadilly would be completely finished
At some point, the necessary sacrifice is inevitable,
"Round shot formation!"
In the distance, the queue of prairie cavalry began to gradually spread out, like a huge wing, countless prairie compound bows were lifted towards the sky, and the dense queues were like layers of blooming petals, opening one by one, The tacit understanding is like ten fingers changing patterns, full of a strange beauty
"shooting"
Black knight, black horse, at a distance of 100 meters into the barracks, prairie shooters coated with colorful grease on the corners of their eyebrows released the bowstring hand at the same time as the command, a cold flash of arrows, drawing countless in the air The swift white light and shadow flicked, spreading his dead arms, and hitting the barracks' wooden fence like a storm. "Attention, arrows..." A recruit yelled before he died, but the huge flying arrows, like clouds again It blocked the sunlight, and the dark clouds suddenly turned into raindrops. The metal waterfall fell from the sky like a punch from the front of an invisible giant. The whole person suddenly flew backwards, and his body was twisted into unnatural in the air. His posture~EbookFREE.me~ turned upside down and was shot as a hedgehog. In the same situation as this recruit, even the experienced combatant Duke Saran did not expect that he would hit the reported shooting cavalry,
"Ah" don't say the first time the recruits encountered the cavalry. The people turned their horses and turned to a piece on the wooden board. Many people fell from the heights, with a screaming cry like a meatloaf. Also fell off the fence board more than three meters high
"Sir, our army is blocked by fortifications. There is a Gaul barracks in front! A city is found three miles away, and there is no defensive force." Duo Weiyan reported that Duo Weiyan looked at the guide beside him, and the guide was hesitant. Take out the map and take a closer look, saying, "This should be the location of the city of Picardy in the province of Phillip. You may encounter local troops in the city of Picardy!"
"Local forces in the city of Piccadilly?"
Du Weiyan held the whip in his hand, and his face coldly ordered the cavalry behind him to "come, order the forward to drag the enemy, the others followed me to the city of Picardy, let it be the starting point of our great hunting! Stay, kill all, and use the blood of the Gauls to pray for our victory! (Unfinished to be continued.
