Mercenaries Under the Sky

Vol 5 Chapter 62: Cross the river to fight

There are a total of 281 perennial rivers in the northern part of Huayu Plain. Among them, 198 belong to the Mississippi River system, 31 belong to the Sanggan River system, and the rest flows southward into the largest tributary of the Lion River.

Fanshui ranks 13th in terms of flow rate and 8th in length in the Mississippi water system. Like other rivers in the northern part of the Huayu Plain, the Fanshui River bed is shallow and wide. The rainy season in summer is the flood season of the Fanshui River. The river is two kilometers wide and floods the Fanshui River into a country. In winter, the river is about 100 meters wide. Continuous flow throughout the year.

Chapter 62

No matter which one is on the mainland, no matter what race, no matter what era, the child's test is too bad. When asked by others, they will not know how to say good. The expression of the simple Fanos double shield is almost the same as that of the smashed child.

After hesitating for a long time, Lord Norton licked his lips and finally said the answer: "His Majesty the Pope, seven heads of war dead, 12 heads of war dead, 379 officers under the length of war dead, and martyrdom of ordinary military personnel Bit ... "After thinking about it, Norton added another sentence:" The number of injuries has not yet been counted, and the number of deaths may increase. "

Heh ... Such heavy casualties are still an incomplete statistics!

The repressed breath tightly choked the throat of every senior officer. In the big tent, only the thick panting and the voices of the orc officers spitting and swallowing could be heard.

The senior officers present were very clear just now. This time when the enemy attacked, the Skeletal Warrior was full, but the maximum number was 5,000, and the Dragon Knight was only two, and it did not directly affect the battle in the camp. The strength of the Monton Army with the reputation of the Flower of Fanos is among the top three in these dozens. There are also three dragon knights and a holy dragon knight in the air. Such a bleak record can only be described in shame.

His Majesty's heart is bleeding like his face. Ordinary soldiers, officers ... Even if an officer in the position of chief of the army is killed in battle, it is actually nothing. After all, the foundation of the Holy See is put there. It is not too difficult to add a thousand or so soldiers to promote a dozen senior officers. The thing-the gap between the farmer ’s militia and the regular army is here. After all, the militia is a militia. Just picking a batch of famer training for a few months looks like it looks like, but I want to build a similar Fanos. It is not necessary to think about the steel warriors like the Rui Legion in a hundred battles.

What makes His Majesty the Pope unacceptable is that a Paladin died in battle, and the two Cardinals were martyred ... Is it easy for such high-level priests and holy warriors to come? There are hundreds of thousands of clerics in the Holy See, and within five years, there will be no great priest who can be advanced twice, and high-level warriors with the prefix of the holy character ... every ten years, as long as there is a devout warrior who can get the power of God, That's really worth celebrating the entire Holy See! What a pity ... is there such a high ratio?

If it is not to consider identity, if it is not out of the minimum respect for the friendly army, if it is not the large army of 100,000 counted on the north side of Ulu City, and the eye-catching, the pope does not want to suppress his anger!

"The two commanders-in-chief, what should we do next? I don't know what the recent command of the headquarters headquarters is?"

This is knowingly asked ... The order of the base camp was sent to Ulu City before being sent to the front of Jielin. Even if the Orc was simple, he knew that this was played by His Majesty the Pope, and he won his own army in different voices.

"Yes, the command of the base camp is to launch the final battle against the Chi Aotian expeditionary force." Monton was still smoother than Norton, and quickly took over the topic.

"Then ... I would like to ask the two adults, when will this last battle be launched?"

"Please rest assured, your majesty, we will launch an attack on the Vatican City within the three ri." Then, in this way step by step, Monton, who doesn't like nonsense, of course, can't be said to be cheeky anyway. If it is necessary to strengthen the level of the combat strength of the teaching staff, then, probably ... His Majesty the Pope will really ask the next sentence: "Can the last battle be launched within 10 years?"

Even if it is the truth, it has to make way for power and pressure!

After the start of the wartime staff of the Fanos Corps, the efficiency was surprisingly high. After only 42 hours, the battalion of 500,000 people changed from full defense to focused attack. During these 42 hours, 19 regiments The exchanges were made. Eleven regiments moved several miles to the north of the battalion. Thousands of siege equipment were transferred to the siege of the front line. At the same time, 2.4 million arrows and entourage doctors and priests were transferred. .

In order to prevent the desert army in the northeast from taking the opportunity to sao disturb or directly support the Vatican City, the staff mobilized 100,000 people to dig three 25-mile parallel trenches, and mobilized six troops to station directly.

Such a huge and fruitful mobilization, in fact, made the expeditionary forces of the Vatican City, especially the senior officers of the Black Dragon Knights, stunned, red ears and red noses sore-the Black Dragon Knights are also known as the four ace of the empire. The officers made such a large-scale mobilization all night long within days of the day that there was no such possibility.

When the Red Sun leapt from the east of the Huayu Plain for the third time, the 300-year-old Fangang Ancient City ushered in its first offensive and defensive war ... Speaking of which, this ancient city was still under Miss Ikeda Meng The Zhili division returned home successfully in the expeditionary desert, passing the rainy season of the Huayu Plain at the time, and the river surface of Fanshui (the name was Luori River) was several miles wide. It could not be crossed at all. It was also idle. The expeditionary army This famous city was built smoothly.

According to the historians after the war of gods, Lin Fan, the coach of the ancient city named after his own name, was also the ancestor of Linhe County King. Of course, at this time, Chi Aotian didn't have such an ancient and modern university at hand, including Ta Yang. This guy's Bogutong seems to be limited to religion.

In addition to the origin of the Sanskrit characters, there is another origin in the Fangang City. On the red soil of the Discourse Plain, there are few rocky hills. Large cities such as Ulu are built by digging earth and burning bricks. The Fangang City is a Exceptionally, the original site of the city was a large piece of bare sedimentary rock. At that time, the partial teacher held tens of thousands of desert captives. Lin Fan ordered these captives to use the simplest equipment to dig out the rock stiffly, which lasted 8 times. The earliest prototype of Vatican City was built in May.

Of course, the Lin family ancestors would not know 500 years before and 500 years later, otherwise, for the Black Dragon Knights hundreds of years later, they will definitely work hard for a few more days to build the city a few meters higher.

Qu Jianhong ’s injuries were better ... Now there are four troops under his command, a small team of sand lizard knights, a squadron of earth dragon knights, and a large group of camel knights, these are the original class of Qingyi se ’s expeditionary army There are a total of 4,020 people and a newly transferred Desert Empire Camel Knights Brigade, 2400 rides.

Qu Jianhong did not leave Chi Aotian three steps away from seeing Fanos army begin to dispatch troops.

From the perspective of terrain, the north bank of Fanshui is only 1200 meters away from the city of Fangang. If the Fanos army wants to attack the city, it must first cross the Fanshui. The expeditionary army will certainly not let the other side cross the river smoothly.

I want to come, the Fanos army will definitely send all four dragon knights to the north bank to press the battle to facilitate the follow-up army to cross the river. One is enough to put it anywhere. Fortunately, however, the expeditionary army is now extremely powerful. The dragons of Ling Yun and Chi Aotian will not have any problem with the sacred dragon. The kelesit arrow feathers in the hands of Qingluo are enough to put great pressure on the iron hand and the one in the cold. However, it is enough to contain the enemy. Although such a match can't be said to have the upper hand, the problem of splitting the money is still not a big problem.

The key is what to do with ground forces?

You can guess with your toes, the first batch of opponents who rushed up must be Jing Rui Zhong Jing Rui-Fanos Heavy Infantry Bearmen. As the days go by, the bear people know the water too well. According to few data, these bear tribes live by water. Except for winter, the bear people will spend at least 8 hours in a day to soak in the water. Adult bears can easily wade into tens of miles-armed with weapons or other tools. What's more, the water depth of Fanshui in winter is less than 2 meters, and the bear-men warriors don't need to use the water, they can walk with their heavy shields on their heads.

Once the bears have seized the beach head, it is estimated that the opponent will dispatch human engineers to quickly build a pontoon or build a stronger semi-permanent xingmu dam. During this period, it takes about 2 to 3 hours. Unless the enemy detours upstream or downstream, of course, it is also a good thing if Fanos really arranges it this way. People are sleepy and there may be other opportunities.

In the face of the heavy infantry of the bear man, the expeditionary force structure, that is, the dragon dragon and the sand lizard knight can be hardened.

Chi Aotian finally agreed to Qu Jianhong's challenge. Regarding where to place the knight troops, according to Tayang ’s opinion, they finally assembled behind the city wall, and then used the bear man troops to stand still, and suddenly attacked the enemy. This idea was rejected by both Chi Aotian and Qu Jianhong at the same time-with the width of the city gate of the Fangang City, thousands of knights attacked, and it was estimated that the city gate did not go out for an hour. In fact, I can't expect what happened to Shita Yang to the cavalry, after all, it's a layman.

When the sun was upgraded by half a pole, Qu Jianhong had put all the knights under his command into an attack formation. The whole army was divided into three clusters. The front was the dragon knight. The dragon knight was hiding behind the dragon knight squad. ——In the arrangement of Qu Jianhong ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ The first batch of attacks is the Sand Lizard Knight ranked second.

In the desert, the expeditionary army suffered from such a dragon beast that could fly well and even hide under the sand quickly. Qu Jianhong certainly did not mind sharing this rare experience with the bear-man troops. With the flying speed of the sand lizard in a short distance, it is easy to cross the Dragon Knight and suddenly launch a violent attack on the enemy from mid-air-if you do not understand this mount, it is absolutely unpredictable. Qu Jianhong could even imagine a scene where the sand lizard knight hit the sky and the enemy turned over.

The camel knights of the brigade followed behind the two big dragons, giving the enemies a full attack, and also picking up the fish that missed the net. Such a battle sequence arrangement can already be considered a perfect situation.

However, in fact, on the first day of the siege of the Fangang City, Qu Jianhong and his nearly 10,000 Tieqi basked in the sun after four hours in the sun, and withdrew to Fangang City in disgrace.

In the words of His Excellency Ta Yang: "This is an armed parade, and it still looks pretty enjoyable."
