Volume II Southern Beacon 1151
"30,000 people!" Hukochili heard the number reported by Pollal, and his heart was secretly relieved, anyway, 30,000 people was much less than the enemy he originally expected to face, but he also knew that this was probably only the troops that arrived in the early stage, the Dorok army divided into troops to attack, the first one to arrive was probably only a small part, and the rest of the enemy's troops would soon gather, "How many people can we fight now?" Hukochili turned around and asked a little anxiously, he went to Paravon in the afternoon to dispatch supplies, so he is not very clear about the situation of the afternoon recruitment, and it is Pola who is responsible for the recruitment, Regarding Hukochili's question, Pollar hesitated for a moment before saying with an ugly face" Although we have tried our best, but the temporary recruitment is only 8,000 people, and there are still many refugees in the wait-and-see situation, we now have almost 27,000 troops, but because the recruited soldiers lack enough weapons, they can really fight less than 20,000, so the weapons and supplies from the Parabun side must be transported immediately, and the refugees will fully believe us when they see the benefits" "I will ask them to speed up the transportation on the Palaubun side!" Hukochili nodded and said" The form is still very grim, 27,000 people plus zhong, who will arrive tomorrow
The Yāng Army has 2 infantry flag regiments, and the total strength is only 40,000, which is obviously disproportionate to the Dorok army on the opposite side, and now I can only hope to recruit enough people, otherwise I may not even be able to withstand tomorrow" "I heard that there are 20 Qushè Thor transferred back from the Admiralty for repair in the Paravon warehouse, although the power is not as good as the Thor used by the army, but fortunately, Shè Cheng Yuan should be able to directly hit the enemy camp across the river, I know if I can.\\......" Pollard's eyes lit up, and he said a little timidly" Thor's transfer requires His Majesty's handwritten instructions, and I have already reported to His Majesty, don't have too much hope for this, come and go. Unless it is a royal green eagle, if it is only a carrier pigeon, it will not be replied until at least three days later, and whether we can stay here at that time is a question" Hu Keqili grim face. The little luck in Pollard's heart was shattered. "Since the enemy is coming, we must resist it, you go and gather the others at once, and we will have a meeting to discuss it!" Hukochili said to Bolral, "Anyway, we also have more than 20,000 regular troops, so I don't believe it."
The Yāng Army plus the Western Army will not be able to delay for even a few days!"
Several Dorok generals soon came over from their respective barracks. Among them is also the figure of Sardins.
Because he had saved the 3,000 remnants of the Fourth Banner Regiment, and his prestige among the soldiers of the Fourth Banner Regiment was very high, Hukochili took the opportunity to appoint him as the temporary acting commander of the Fourth Banner Regiment, and according to this capacity, he was also eligible to attend this military meeting. One of the generals of the Western Corps whispered unexpectedly, and the faces of several other generals were also ugly. The arrival of these main forces of Dorok undoubtedly proved that the area west of the river had been completely lost, otherwise the Dorok people would not have gathered on the banks of the river on such a large scale. The heavy atmosphere made everyone's hearts feel very depressed, "I summoned everyone here because I think the enemy has given up on tonight's surprise attack, which may indicate a full-scale attack tomorrow morning!" Hukochili swept his gaze over everyone, pointed to the map on the table, and his voice stopped and said, "According to the other party's style, if you don't fight, or you must attack like a thunderbolt, so whether you can make the Dorok stop here will determine the future of the entire Parabun! Now let's arrange the ......"
The meeting of the generals continued until the early hours of the morning, as orders were given. The Falcon Army's defense was also fully opened, and a neat queue appeared on the riverbank, and the Falcon Army's shè hands stepped on the temporary earthen platform built on the riverbank line in the early morning.
These platforms are more than 2 meters high, with solid walls in front and slopes in the back. The shè hands were half-crouched at the top of these slopes, the cold light of the arrows and the white waves of the river
Behind the slope were 4,000 heavily armored Guards cavalry, riding on heavily draped horses, the light of torches shining on the grim faces of the Guards cavalry, the tall horses like giant beasts in the darkness spewing white smoke from their noses, as the only heavily armored troops, once the Dorok broke through the earthen wall, they would use their sharp swords and heavy horse hooves to trample the incoming enemy to pieces, until they were driven down the river from the earthen wall
The sky gradually became clearer, and the two sides on both sides of the river began to see each other clearly, unlike the Falcon Army that treated them solemnly along the river, the morale of the Dorok army was obviously extremely high, and the invincibility of the previous period made many Dorok cavalry high-spirited,
They wore red cloaks, and rode their horses to stand on the opposite riverside, like a jumping red line, the raindrops hit his armor with the wind and rain, and flowed to the ground like a waterfall, and the long spears of the lancers were washed by the rain, and the bright light of the shè in the misty rain shone brightly.
Their front is a 30-meter-long, 5-meter-wide stone bridge connecting the two banks, the thick piers are deeply rooted in the rushing river, and there are bridge cables made of iron chains on it, the turbulent river under the bridge is not a crashing sound, the white waves are rolling, this stone bridge was built in the era of the Ruierdian Kingdom, and the huge stone constitutes a solid body, which is still very strong after a hundred years of wind and rain.
It is also a vital bridge to Parabun,
Hukochili placed 3 squadrons on the opposite side of the bridge, two squadrons of light infantry of the Western Corps, zhong
One of the three squadrons of the Yāng Guards Cavalry is here, which is enough to see the importance of this bridge
"It seems to be the Red Guard Lancers of the Dorok people, it seems that the main direction of the opponent's attack should be the bridge" Hukochili heard Bolavin next to him say to himself, his gaze at these red sè cavalry suddenly sharpened, among the top cavalry on the mainland, in addition to the ruined Ruierdian heavy cavalry, the royal court cavalry of the Dongting people and the rangers of the Kujit people, that is, the Red Guard Lancers of the Dorok people, but because the probability of the latter appearing is very small, and the Dorok people have always been based on light combat, so they are basically ignored,
Hukochili didn't expect to be able to see this legendary Red Guard cavalry here,
Just as he was watching, the Dorok army on the opposite side moved again, and as the main camp opened, groups of red sè cavalry began to ride out, and then the black crowd was forcibly driven out of the camp, "Bastard, it seems that we are from the garrison!"
Hukochili heard Sardins let out an angry scolding, and then he also saw these escorted people clearly, and immediately gasped, all of them were prisoners, there were thousands of them, some of them were wearing the uniforms of the garrison soldiers, and some of them were wearing the uniforms of the regular army, ragged and staggering, and there were Dorok soldiers waving spears behind them, these captives tried to resist several times, but they were all regrouped, and slowly moved in the direction of the bridge like driven sheep,
Including Hukochili, tens of thousands of Falcon troops across the river watched this scene with bated breath, even a fool could guess that the Dorok people drove so many captives to the bridge, obviously trying to use the captives to force the defenders to retreat "It's too despicable!" This time not only Hukochili felt helpless, but even several generals of the Western Legion also scolded angrily, although the Falcon Army has never obeyed any knightly gods, but they will definitely not be able to do such a cold-blooded thing, "Damn, these guys want us to fight our own people!" The Falcon captives on the opposite side also seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly sāo moved, because it was very close to the position of the bridge, and the captives who were lined up in the front quickly rushed to the bridge.
They did not go towards the falcon line as expected by the Dorok people, but jumped down the river from both sides of the stone bridge, and with a sound of falling water, one of the Falcon captives rolled in the agitation and the river, and was soon swept away by the torrent and turned into a small black dot on the river, but his action undoubtedly stimulated the other captives, and a large group of captives jumped from the bridge and jumped off the river surface of the torrent "Stop them!" The Dorok Red Guard cavalry behind the formation hurriedly shouted, and they all rode their horses to rush to the bridge mouth
"Brothers, fight!" the Falcon captives crowded in front of them formed a thick wall with their bodies, making it completely impossible for them to get through
Some Falcon captives jumped directly from the bridge onto the horses of the Red Guards, and rolled off their horses with the Red Guards in their arms.
"If you want to live, everyone jumps!" people are of the same heart, thousands of people rush to the bridge, and the river is full of people's heads.
Many of the soldiers from the west who did not know how to swim were struggling in the river, screaming "Help, help!"
Countless hands fluttered and struggled and shook on the water, the torrent was turbulent, the white waves rolled over, and a few hands shook helplessly on the surface of the water a few times,
After the ripples of the water, dozens of people disappeared silently "Bastards, these bastards!"
On this side of the riverbank, the Falcon Army collectively lost its voice, no one expected that the demarcation between life and death would be displayed in front of everyone with such a clear entity, the captives resisted desperately, and those who did not have time to jump into the river were slaughtered by the Red Guard cavalry swarming from behind.
The river beach is full of corpses, and the human body on the river is also black and oppressive with the river water up and down, and the blood water dyes the river surface red.
