1722 Gallic Elegy (9)

The spring breeze blows, and the ice melts snow turns into the gurgling water flow in the mountains. The green color of the earth brings vitality. The distant mountains and rivers extend to the edge of the earth like a scroll. In the drizzle, it is presented to the eyes of Andalin, the adjutant of the Legion, in a lazy and intoxicating manner.

Pushing open his teacher Hasen Rambo's office, the familiar figure reflected in Andalin's eyes. The room with the curtains closed, and only the candlesticks on the wall illuminated the entire room. The room looked very dull. Hasen Rambo, the general leader of the 400,000 imperial army in the Rusty area, was leaning against his desk and napping.

Hasen Rambo's face was tired and pale, his hair was messy, his hands were staggered on his abdomen, and his slightly white temples mean that he was no longer young. From the imperial capital to Rusty, he traveled a thousand miles and three hundred miles day and night. For Hasen Rambo, who is already fifty-one, it is no longer something that can be easily dealt with.

The offensive of the Falcon Imperial Army may be launched at any time. Hassen Rambo dared not delay it. He held a military meeting overnight to arrange combat tasks. When the meeting was over, it was already unknowingly the second half of the night. He dragged his tired body in the office and rested in the preparation room. He also rushed to the Eastern Front to inspect immediately. Although there was a particularly strengthened Gaul 15th Army on the Eastern Front, Hassen Rambo was still a little worried. The Seine River guarded by the Eastern Front is the source of the entire Rusti Regional River. In this season of each year, heavy rains from the sky and melting water on the snow-capped mountains of the highlands will flow into this river in large quantities. The river water surged and it was difficult for people to swim. If the army was guarded, it would be enough to form an indestructible natural barrier that would deter the Falcon Army.

Andalin walked over and carefully placed the documents in her hand on Hasen Rambo's desk. The slight sound made the famous Gaul general raise his head and see that it was his disciple and adjutant. Hasen Rambo patted the dust on the general's uniform and coughed dryly.

"Cough, is it dawn?"

"Yes," Andalin replied, moving to the window and pulling open the curtains with his hand. The raindrops flew everywhere outside, and the raindrops hit the glass, like a meditative charm

"It's still raining!" Hasen Rambo's meaningful eyes narrowed slightly. "Is there any news about the Eastern Front?"

"Not yet. According to the teacher's instructions, I send someone to you every day." Andalin nodded and replied, a trace of complex emotions flashed through her beautiful eyes as beautiful as water.

"But the eastern line is more than 50 miles away from here, and it has been raining for days. The road is muddy, and the bridge entrance to the eastern line has been washed away by floods. Our people have to go around the Boles forest. Even if we ride fast horses, our people will not be able to get back until the afternoon at the earliest!"

"After the afternoon? I hope nothing is happening. I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition!"

Hasen Rambo rubbed his swollen temples and smiled bitterly. This fatigue is not just the body, but also the heart. There are rumors about himself everywhere now. One way is that he holds half of the army of the empire. Raising his hand can revive the empire, and the empire can also die, and he may even become an emperor. There is also a saying that he has signed a secret agreement with the Eagle Emperor, and the two are planning to divide the entire Gallic Empire equally. "And "Haesen Rambo has already secretly surrendered to the Falcon Empire. Otherwise, why did the Falcon Empire army stop in front of the 6th Legion and stop in front of the Sixth Legion for the whole winter!"

Hassen Rambo had no concerns about these malice and speculation rumors, nor did he have the energy to care about them.

He knew that the people who said these words were the generals of the Kyoto Imperial Guard who rushed from Kyoto to Rusty to reinforce when they arrived. When they arrived, the Falcon Imperial Army had stopped advancing. Seeing all the auras of glory fell on him, it undoubtedly made these generals of the Imperial Guard who considered superior to others jealous. In the battle of Rusty, he accidentally blocked the Falcon Army's offensive, resulting in a sharp rise in fame in the country, and from a famous general on the eastern battlefield to the first general in Gaul.

Last winter, the Falcon Empire proposed an unconventional armistice negotiation, which made everyone feel an illusion.

That is the vicious Wikia Falcon, and General Hasen Rambo, who was also afraid of the empire. He was in the empire's storm and failure in the east and west battlefields. He lived in bad news and uneasy every day. He suddenly found that a famous general appeared on his side. He was like seeing the star of Qi in the dark, and he had high hopes for Hasen Rambo to sing praises,

Even the fat man himself did not expect that his decision to suspend the offensive would create a "God of War" in Gaul.

In the Gaulese tavern, in the noise of the night, you can often hear "Good for the well-being of Lord Hasen Rambo!" "Good for Lord Hasen Rambo will definitely defeat those northwestern barbarians who do not know the height of the sky and the earth, and let the glory of the empire shine on the northwest." Come and have a drink for Hasen Rambo, the Empire's God of War!" Such words are so encouraging.

In some public performance venues, the most fashionable play now is "Imperial God of War Hasen Rambo vs. The extremely evil Falcon King" program is basically the old-fashioned and upright knight to defeat monsters. However, the knight became an actor who played Hasen Rambo, rushed into the palace of the Falcon King with soldiers, and cut off the falcon battle flag that could snatch people's souls. With a shrill howl, a black clown with a red crown on his head and a feathered costume was the Wikia Falcon. He was stomped on the ground with one foot, struggling to death, begging for mercy, crying, and slapped himself in the face. The actor who dressed as Hasen Rambo looked at him with contempt, raised the Gallic wide sword in his hand, full of momentum and majestic, and made a gesture that he would chop down fiercely.

The picture is frozen in this scene, and usually at this time, it is the climax of the play.

"Kill him, kill this devil!"

The person watching the audience raised his hands and made hysterical shouts in his mouth. The person watching would throw out cheap copper plates to smash the black clown without hesitation. Finally, as the broad sword fell in the excitement of everyone, a head as a prop was thrown on the stage by the actor. It was a sphere made of leather, with a charcoal stroke and a mouth and nose, and red dye was poured into it, which looked bloody.

The high-profile Gallic military song "Gallic Warriors Song" sounded from behind the stage, and the scene was exciting and exciting. Everyone sang it. Such a play was even spread to the Rusty area. There was even a performance team, who bravely ran to the junction of the two armies to perform. The Gallic soldiers shouted proudly, which attracted the attention of the other side. Soon, several rock-throwing bullets dragged the black smoke, and shattered the performance platform on the spot, causing more than a dozen casualties. No one dared to do this again.

However, in areas where there is no attack, such a situation is still happening. Gallic soldiers often go to see it in groups and enjoy it. To be honest, Hasen Rambo himself secretly went to see it once, but he couldn't help leaving before he even saw his glorious image. It's so joking. How can war be a joke? After seeing this too much, the soldiers invisibly thought that the Falcon Army was a match that fell when they touched it. In fact, in the situation where the soldiers were defeated last year, Hasen Rambo himself didn't know how he stopped the pace of the Falcon Empire's advancement!

In the afternoon, the sound of the horse hooves awakened the dozing guards. A embarrassed imperial cavalry, carrying mud and water, jumped to the ground from the horse just stopped. Andalin hurried over. This was the person she sent to the Eastern Front. The appearance of the cavalry made her beautiful eyebrows slightly frown.

"What's going on, Schroeder!" Andalin asked with a serious expression

"East..The Seine River on the East Front has been lost!" The Imperial cavalry gasped, took the kettle from their companions and ate a few times before saying intermittently, "I don't know what the situation is. The village of Slather just crossed the middle line. I saw the road full of the collapsed troops of the 15th Legion, panic and chaotic, with officers and soldiers. They were retreating towards the urban area on the middle line, and I found a familiar officer to ask. He told me that the Eastern Front was lost. The Falcon Army launched a battleship and rushed to the river bank and directly defeated the river defense line! The 15th Legion suffered heavy casualties."

"The warship rushed into the river! What's the situation?" Andalin's face flashed with a hint of shock. She hurriedly walked up to the second floor, and pushed open the door with a pale face. Her unusual anxious expression made Hasen Rambo in the room feel a sense of ominous premonition.

"Has the person who went to the Eastern Front returned? How is the situation there? I want to inspect the Eastern Front!" Hasen Rambo said uneasy while tying his cloak on his cloak. "Although I know there will be no problem with the Eastern Front, I always feel uneasy today. If I don't go there, I will be uneasy!"

"Teacher, don't go to the East Line!"

Andalin took a deep breath of air conditioning, looked at Hasen Rambo who was picking up the sword, and slowly said, "The Eastern Front has been lost. The Falcon Army used warships to break the defense line of the 15th Legion. The entire 15th Army was disbanded, with heavy casualties and retreating to the central line!"

"What!"

The cloak slid from Hasen Rambo's hand to the ground and was stunned. His face was unbelievable, as if he was stomped on it. The Eastern Front was lost? How could it be, what was going on? "Haesen Rambo's mouth was a series of questions, but Andalin could not answer him, but said that the Falcon Army used the battleship

"Battleship! Eastern Front! The Seine in the upper reaches... The other party doesn't want it..." Hasen Rambo seemed to think of something, his face suddenly lost its blood color. He no longer cared about the cloak that landed on the ground, but quickly ran to the wall with a map, with a solemn and terrible look, looking at the Seine in the east line.

"That color must be that color!" Andalin suddenly made a desperate sound when she heard the teacher staring at the map.

The center of gravity of the Rasty War Zone, Nase City,

This is the city that is the easterly in the middle line, and it is also the pass where the Seine River enters the central line urban area. From here, the Seine River is divided into several tributaries. A long time ago, the Seine people built a river switch on the river. The Gauls had 8,000 defenders here, and they depended on each other as horns with the Fifteenth Gallic Legion, which guarded the upper Seine River.

Crossing the Seine River on the Eastern Front, Crolisat immediately sent 20,000 light infantry to chase the 15th Legion, completing the full occupation of the upper reaches of the Eastern Front. He personally led 30,000 main forces and pounced on Nase below the river like a tiger. In the afternoon, the troops came to Nase City.

The color in front of the Northwest Legion was just a city with a wall and a moat connecting rivers. It lacked the strong trench tower and arrow tower like a fortress, nor was it used to resist the corner structure of the infantry cluster near.

Such defense is simply effortless! Crolisart rode on the war horse, and he commented in his heart

The Gaul defenders obviously did not know that the 15th Legion had collapsed. They were frightened by the Falcon Army that suddenly appeared under the city. The anxious alarm bells rang out over the city. The Gauls were panicked on the city walls, and the archers were arranged in batches on the city walls.

Below the city, 20,000 infantrymen of the Northwest Legion holding shields and spears were divided into four square arrays, 15,000 Northwest archers holding strong bows to open attack arrays on the hem of the city. The metal shield reflected dazzling white light under the rain, like a large slight band of light. The neatly arranged armor and spears could not see the end at a glance.

The black armor was dark in the raindrops, and the pressure gathered was like a huge black tide that was about to rush up. The Gauls on the opposite city wall were all pale at this time. The unpredictable and mysterious feeling of the Falcon Army below puts pressure on people and makes them feel even more frightened. This is not the farce I watched before, this is the real Falcon Empire army, which represents killing and power, and is arrogant, and has never been defeated in the battle with the empire!

"What's going on? Isn't the upstream a defense zone of the 15th Legion?" the soldiers asked in a low voice.

"Yes, how could these Falcon Army kill from the upstream? What about the Fifteenth Legion!" The Gallic soldiers on the city wall were panicked and saw each other in their eyes horrified. At this moment, a black spot suddenly rose from behind the Falcon Army under the city.

"Attention, catapult!" A shrill shout suddenly sounded on the city wall.

"Takes?" The soldiers raised their heads in a daze, looking at countless huge rocks with various sharp water chestnuts with pale faces. It was like a flock of birds suddenly flew through the air, falling from the sky with a shrill sound of wind, and thundering on the heads of the entire team of companions, splashing the brains. The flesh flew everywhere. Under the blow of the huge rocks, the Gauls saw their companions. In this way, they turned into bloody minced meat residue on the city wall.

"Oh my god!" This terrible effect was dozens of times greater than the actual killing effect. The Gallic soldiers didn't even have time to dodge, and the metal shield was deformed. The huge stones crushed through the queue like raindrops, and the soldiers on the entire road were instantly smashed into meat.

This is the first time that many Gallic soldiers faced such a terrifying siege weapon. Seeing that their companions died so miserably, the sense of horror controlled their already terrified minds. The neatly arranged shields in their hands were split into pieces under the intensive blow of throwing stones, and the soldiers' queues were completely in chaos.

"Siege the city, sir!"

The Northwest Generals below were already excited to ask Crowist for battle. The Seine River was a spectator, which made the fierce fighting spirit in the Northwest Generals' hearts aroused like fire.

Crolisart was still awake. In the order of His Majesty the Falcon, he wanted to let the warships go down the river and enter the middle-line urban area. Whether the warships can be taken down the river as quickly as possible will be the top priority of the entire battle and the real role of the Northwest Legion. He took down the river pass and allowed the warships to enter the river in the middle-line urban area. Thanks to the Gauls,

During the winter rest period, in order to strengthen the defense of urban areas, Gaul connected the rivers between urban areas with the moats, all moats were widened three times, almost as wide as the entire river channel. In other words, warships entered the inland channels of urban areas and could attack any city at will.

The Dragon-Too warships entering the inland river channel were built with special requirements. In order to allow the warships to have the ability to suppress the city walls, all the Dragon-Too warships have been raised on the side of the ship and can directly strike the city walls from a high point. In order to be able to adapt to the navigation of the inland river channel, the bottom of the ship is also a flat bottom, so it can quickly hit the bank and dam without falling.

Crolisart unceremoniously pulled all the more than 300 catapults he used to cross the river to Nase City, and caught the Gallic defenders off guard. He looked coldly at the Gaul defenders howled under the attack of the catapult, and then ordered in a deep voice, "The bow archer pressed the cover, and the whole army began to attack the city!"

"Progress!" The Falcon Infantry Captains opened their loud voices. The 20,000 infantrymen from four infantry formations began to approach the city wall. Five thousand Northwest Army bow archers neatly raised the compound strong bow in their hands towards the city wall.

"Shoot!" With a sound of zero, the bowstring vibrated like rain

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" The world was filled with terrible shocking sounds, and arrows as dense as raindrops hit the heads of the Gallic defenders again. Although the range of the composite strong bows used by these northwest archers was not as terrifying as the terrible longbow, it was far beyond the range of the eighty-meter range of the Gallic archer stacked bow.

As 15,000 archers neatly let go of their fingers that were pinching their tail feathers, dense black dots shot towards the city like black clouds, like waves slamming on the hard rock wall, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red. The sound of "PuPuPu" piercing the body and shattering bones rising one after another in the raindrops. This is a symphony of killing.

"Crack"

More than a dozen huge siege cars slowly moved forward under the push of infantry, and the sound of wooden valley wheels swaying, approaching the city wall in the muddy rain.

"Bao" the heavy baffle hit the city hard,

Kill” With a shout that resounded throughout the battlefield, countless cold lights of the Falcon Army spears rushed out from the position where the baffle fell.

The dense spearheads were like countless sharp thorns. The heavy footsteps made the pedals thunder sound. In the flash, it was like a heavy war sabre suddenly slashing on the interface of the city wall.
