Chapter 198 Imagination

The battle between the main force and the allied forces took place 40 kilometers away. It ends forty kilometers away.

The school officials don't know what happened, and the information Winters got is even more fragmented.

Some people say that General Arpad went in and out of the barbarian formation seven times, killing the barbarians and defeating them.

Some people say that General Sackler shot and killed the leaders of the three major departments with three shots, and the barbarians were invincible and scared witless.

All of them have noses and eyes, as if they were on the scene.

Lieutenant Colonel Jesska took out the map, rummaged for a long time with his chin, and suddenly clapped his hands: "It should be here."

Winters and Andrea watched closely.

Lieutenant Colonel double-taps on the map.

“Valley?”

“It runs east-west, with a valley sheltered by trees on the north and south sides.” Lieutenant Colonel Jesska rubbed his chin: “The messenger said that old fogey set up an ambush in the valley. I think he just picked a place where he wouldn't be outflanked."

"And then?"

"Then just set up and fight."

<"It's that simple?" Andre couldn't believe it.

"How difficult do you think?" Lieutenant Colonel Jesska said indifferently: "Isn't a battle just one attack, one defense? The difficulty is not in the fight, but in how to get the opponent to fight on the battlefield you choose.

Winters pressed: "How did General Sackler do it?"

"Want to know? Ask him." Lieutenant Colonel Jesska sighed: "We See him soon."

...

The vanguard echelon Southwest forty kilometers, an unnamed valley.

It is a bit reluctant to say that it is a valley, but it is actually just a lowland between two hills.

This lowland, less than two kilometers wide, is now full of dead, wounded and war horse carcasses.

The Plato soldiers with blood and wounds on their bodies were walking within the valley, and they fiercely stabbed the Heards who were not dead.

Sekler coughed blood and sat on the carriage listening to Colonel Laszlo report on the battle.

This battle was extremely dangerous, and the most fierce Heard cavalry was less than five meters away from Sackler himself.

The phalanx Sackler was in was attacked from all directions. Sackler himself was hit by three arrows, two on the breastplate, and one on the helmet.

Colonel Laszlo mechanically repeated: "Fifty-six auxiliaries Hundred Men Squad . and Veneta. There are also twelve Hundred-Men Commanders awaiting martial law. Four battallions of the Sixth Legion on the left were also beaten out of formation..."

[Note: unorthodox refers to Those were non-class officers, including the so-called "Palatto interim officers". These officers are few in number, are not reused, and are never promoted to colonel]
 …

The day before yesterday evening.

"Let's go." Sackler reviewed the army one last time, and walked out of the camp without looking back.

Palatu's army took advantage of the night and marched eastward, and the rear guard burned everything it couldn't take.

 …

Yesterday morning.

"The barbarians are back!" The Paratus soldiers looked at the enemy's back and shouted in encouragement to each other: "The barbarians are back."

The Hart striker caught up with Para The Tu army, after a skirmish, the Hurd striker was routed.

Plateau's army continued eastward, and the damaged cargo trucks were abandoned one after another.

 …

It was late last night.

Plateau's army finally arrives at the battlefield chosen by Sackler.

Sekler took up positions in the valley, lining up his troops in three lines.

A small number of light cavalry were placed in the first row, auxiliary troops were placed in the second row, and the standing army formed the third row.

The chief battallions of the two Legions are arranged on the hills on the north and south sides.

The foodie is eager to fight, and in order to prove his ability and establish his prestige, he needs a decisive victory.

He sent troops to stop the battles of the various divisions for the spills of war, and urged the cavalry of all the divisions to pursue all night.

Both sides have the will to fight, and the battle begins in this nameless valley.

……

This morning, the sentinel cavalry on both sides took the lead in fighting.

Plato's light knights were outnumbered and rout.

The two Hundred-Men Commanders withdrew without authorization and were executed on the spot under martial law.

The sky was bright, the fog cleared, Hurd's light cavalry returned to the main formation, and the allied troops arrived on the battlefield.

The narrow width made it impossible for the Hurds to expand, but the Eaters sent troops to detour from further afield.

At about eight o'clock, the allied forces of the Hart tribes pressed forward.

Hard's cavalry rushed into the auxiliary front, and within the valley, the two sides crowded together.

Splattered blood flew into the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, and the killed couldn't even fall down.

In this tragic battle, the auxiliary troops were quickly defeated and retreated to the back of the third line.

The large phalanx of the standing army began to meet the enemy.

The large phalanx of invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable blocked the assault of Heard's cavalry.

According to the advice of the white lion, the cavalrymen jumped off their saddles and engaged in foot combat.

The chief battallion on the flanking hills was supposed to provide fire support, but they were entangled in the left and right flanks of the Hurd coalition.

In the tragic battle, the overall formation of the Palatine army began to squeeze towards the right flank, and the left flank exposed more and more space.

The foodie was waiting for this moment, and he personally led the elite of the Suz army to attack the left flank of the Palatine army.

The Suz's daring to the death did not evade them, and charged straight into the long spear forest.

The riders and horses were all killed on the spot, but the long spear forest was also hit by a gap.

The rest followed closely from behind and rushed into the formation to hack and slash, and the left-wing phalanx of Palatu, which was already on the verge of collapse, was instantly smashed.

The Suzi cavalry began to detour to the rear of the Palatine army, and Seckler sent reorganized auxiliary soldiers to resist, but they were not the Suzi cavalry opponents that conserve strength and store up energy.

"[Herde] won!" The Eater laughed loudly.

The Hurd coalition is winning, and the Suzi cavalry is sweeping the front from south to north.

"Win." Sackler was haggard.

The Hurd coalition forces have been pressed across the board, and Sackler has also shown the trump card of patience hidden in his sleeves.

A mournful horn resounded through the valley.

Four battallions of heavy cavalry attacked from the woods on the southern side of the line, moving towards the backs of the Suz cavalry.

The tried-and-true back attack, the Suzi cavalry was instantly defeated.

The Platoon infantry was greatly encouraged and shouted to push back against the Hurd coalition.

The remaining units on the front tried to turn around to meet the attack, but were unable to organize effectively, and were eventually pulled back by the rout.

One Hurd started to run away, all Hurd started to run away.

The left and right flanks of the Hurd coalition saw that the situation was not good, and they also began to retreat.

The Hudds, who had retreated outside the valley, were informed that their old camp had been overrun by another group of Palatine hussars.

In fact, there is simply no need to attack. The "old camp" of the pioneers did not even have a car wall, just a leeward flat ground for storing slave horses and a little baggage.

[Note: The follower horse is the spare horse]
The remaining courage of the cavalry was scattered ashes and dispersed smoke, and they all went back to rescue their old camp.

...

"This is another battle where the infantry bleeds and the cavalry is honored." Every officer in the valley couldn't help but think so.

The crude gallows were erected, and the execution ground had been arranged on the hill.

According to the Platonic military law, after the battle is over, the executions will begin...the execution of one's own people.

Twelve Hundred-Men Commanders were stripped of their armor, tied and kneeled in a row - the soldiers were not defeated, but the officers fled and hanged;
Soldiers with cinnabar traces on their backs were taken out one by one ——Those with scars on their backs, beheaded;
More soldiers began to draw life and death draws——the officers did not retreat, the soldiers were defeated, and they were slaughtered.

In the past twenty years, Sackler has never been soft-hearted, because military law is everything in the Praetorian army.

But today, the hard-hearted Sackler can't kill anymore.

"Forget it," Sackler said softly.

Laszlo asked blankly, "What did you say?"

"I said, forget it." Sackler slapped his chest hard, coughing, " Shave their hair and weave them into death row."

"Yes."

"Tell them. If you can get back to Palato, give them your life back. No. Go to Palatu and pull a Hurd on your back."

"Yes."

Sekler asked again, "Is Arpad back?"

p>

"Not yet, he may still be chasing the ruthless enemy."

"Don't wait for him. Take someone and retrieve the cart we threw away along the road. I'll be waiting in front. You, one day, one day, as much as you can get back."

"Yes." Colonel Laszlo turned to leave.

Sackler, struggling to get up, was seven years younger than Arpad, but senile earlier.

He looked at the ravine full of corpses: the dark red liquid ran down the hillside and merged into a stream at the bottom of the valley.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that "blood" really "flows into a river".

A green-helmed herald cavalry dashed into the valley, moved towards the Eagle Banner and rampaged.

The guards intercepted with halberds, ordered the cavalry to dismount and stumbled towards the eagle flag with a letter.

The guards around the eagle flag certainly couldn't easily let him get close to the general.

Two guards captured the messenger, and another guard seized the letter and handed it to Sackler.

Sackler took the letter, tore it open, and said nothing for a long time.

The left hand holding the letter was so hard that there was no blood in the knuckles.

Thirty years later, the iron hoofs of the Hurds once again set foot on the land of Plato.

The [Bastard Riding into the Bandit], which has not happened in thirty years, scared the courage of the Palatine Council.

The Great Council bypassed the Army Headquarters and issued five orders in a row, strictly ordering the expeditionary army to withdraw its troops and return to support.

But now, the Great Council doesn't have to worry about the Heard robber anymore.

Because they're back.

Also destroyed the second pontoon of the Palatine Expedition.

…

One day later.

Familiar felt tents, familiar leaders of various ministries - a few less, but the atmosphere is very different from before.

"Healthy eater, you rotten skin that crows eat! Carrion wrapped in grass that cows won't eat!" The chief of the black liquid department was furious. Health eaters fight to the death.

He pointed at the eater's nose and scolded: "You threw the black liquid group to the two-legged people, but your Suzi group ran very fast! Are you also worthy of being a war leader?"

Arpad led the hussars to chase a full 50 kilometers, and specially picked and killed small tribes.

Seeing that their allies were being chased and killed, Haidong and Suzi ignored them and only ran for their own lives.

On the contrary, the Turdun-Chihe coalition took in many remnants.

"Short bow! You tailless gelding! You dare to question me? I'll question you!" The foodie was also furious: "Seeing that the Chinese army is in a bad situation, why are you left wing? Why don't you come to support?"

"Go back and eat your mother's milk!" The chief of the black liquid department scolded: "You have lost yourself, and you want us to stand up? I'll ask you, why do you Integrate Haidong into your central army? But don't let Gray Eyes lead the left wing?"

"I don't have to explain it to you!"

"Can't you answer it? I'll come Say! You are full of selfish desires, and you are worried that the gray eyes will lead one wing to make meritorious deeds, so you let the gray eyes and you in the middle army, but let us small tribes in the left wing! We small tribes, we do not listen to anyone, you rely on us Can you fight?"

"That's your problem." The eater sneered to himself.

"You war chief! I don't accept it!" The chief of the black liquid department is a broken tank. If he doesn't bring down the health eaters today, tomorrow will be the end of the black liquid department: "You never thought about the tribes! You I'm not worthy of commanding the tribes!"

"I'm not worthy, who deserves it?"

"I recommend the white lion! Haidong and Suzi! They all use our small tribes as livestock! Only The white lion takes us as human beings! You, I don't accept it! The white lion, I accept it!" The chief of the black liquid department glared at the other tribal leaders: "Speak!"

No one responded to him.

"Speak!" the chief of the black liquid department shouted: "Do you want to be a slave to the Suzi department?"

There was another silence.

The chief of the black liquid department angrily took off his hat, threw it on the ground, and raised his leg to walk out, but no one else stopped him.

The fire roaster grabbed the arm of the chief of the black liquid department and looked towards the current war leader: "Healthy eater, the leaders of the tribes gave you a chance, but you have betrayed the trust of the leaders of the tribes. Why not Let others try?"

The leaders agreed with their eyes, but did not dare to speak.

The healthy eater stood up and looked all around with a murderous-looking look: "The white lion is not a descendant of the Golden God, and is not qualified to be a great sweat!"

The red-faced fire roaster immediately nodded Go back: "Who wants to recommend the white lion to be a great sweat? We just need to recommend the white lion to lead us to war!"

"With you! With me! With gray eyes! There are so many descendants of the Golden God! There is no reason. Let an outsider be the leader of the war!" The foodie also shouted.

"You and I don't have to fight for seats like a pack of dogs fighting for meat." The white lion said calmly: "Just follow the rules of the general discussion. Turn off the lights and cover the dome. If the leaders of the tribes agree, huh 'Ai'; the leaders of the various ministries do not agree, call 'u'."

The secret account is discussed, no one can see each other, only hear the voice, the nature is equivalent to anonymous voting.

This method is seldom used in the conferences of various ministries, because the conference itself is an occasion to say something, and there is no need to hide it.

"There are very few people who dare to openly oppose the health eaters." The little lion thought to himself: "Otherwise, the big brother would not ask for the secret account to discuss matters."

The oil lamp was blown out, The dome was covered, and the leaders of the tribes exchanged positions in the dark.

The white lion said, "Before the supporters of the various ministries join us, we can no longer fight with the Paratus people."

Ai's approval sounded in the tent.

The black liquid chief shouted loudest and most clearly. Anyway, he had already offended the healthy eaters, so he simply broke the pot.

"It's impossible for the Paratus people to stay in wasteland for a lifetime, you and I should use the best methods. Dozens of horses, dozens of cavalry to harass, intercept messengers, snatch baggage, just don't meet force with them with force."

There was another "Ai" approval.

"The harassment?" The health eater couldn't help but ask: "The harassment alone can kill all the two-legged people? Once we cross the Netherworld River, we can't stop them any longer!"

"Then they can't cross the Netherworld River."

"Why can't they cross the Netherworld River? They're heading northeast, apparently looking for shallow water to cross the river!"

"Going to the shallow water upstream, the Paratus people don't have enough food and drink, so they have prepared a pontoon bridge."

The health eater understands: "You want us to hit the pontoon bridge? "

"No." The white lion replied: "I have already sent someone to fight."

......

......

Seven days later, in the early morning.

Winters, the old god stick and the little lion walk on the west bank of the Netherworld River.

The little lion is listless, lazily walking on the river beach, stepping on paw prints all the way.

Its mane is not yet hairy, and it does not look like a lion from a distance, but like a dog with a particularly large head.

The old god stick tightly wrapped the fur robe on his body, and scolded: "little bastard, pee quickly! The old man is so cold!"

"You still have the mind to walk the dog?" Winters has a heavy heart.

The river beaches on both sides are full of charred wreckage of pontoons.

The first pontoon, using prefabs brought from Plato.

The second pontoon bridge is a pontoon made of planks and asphalt.

The planks are gone, the carts can be dismantled, and the trees can be chopped down; the sappers still have some asphalt.

The problem is that there are thousands of Hurds waiting on the other side of the river.

That's right, the Heder robber who burned down the pontoon -- and for the second time -- not only failed to cross the river. They also set up camp on the other side, across the river from the Palatine army.

No matter how skilled the sappers of Palatine, there is no ability to erect a pontoon bridge when the opposite bank falls.

Reid cultivator chanted casually: "[Selika] Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing its color, and the elk flourished to the left without blinking, and then he could control the interests and treat the enemy."

"What are you talking about?"

The old man stroked his beard and glanced at Winters: "Just to tell you, no matter what happens, be in a good mood. Look at you. Now, with a straight face, it's like the sky is falling."

Winters sighed: "Looking at your unhurried appearance, are you ready for Hed's shaman's outfit early in the morning? "

"Hmph, how can an old man eat two money?"

"Is there any good way to live Saint, teach me?"

"Cough. In an enemy situation, there are chasing soldiers behind, a river in front, and enemy troops waiting on the other side of the river." Reid cultivator said in a relaxed tone: "Boy, in every history book I have read, you are all certain death. situation."

"There is still a way." Winters whispered, "It just takes a little imagination."

", Golden Horde vs Dukedom Moscow. Marmaikhan found a weak spot on the left flank of the dukedom in Moscow and put all his chips in. Seeing that it was about to swept the front of the dukedom in Moscow, it was defeated by a very "conventional" heavy cavalry back attack]
