Chapter 1085: The Kae Family

"This Lothair, it is really incompetent, if the Germans can resist for two months, we can nail the army of the East to Kiporos, even if we can't win, at least we won't lose too many benefits, and now, we are forced to the point of desperateness" Fayuna grumbled loudly, and Quasimotu happened to walk to the door, followed by a gloomy Grana, and before he entered the door, he heard Fayuna curse loudly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Quasimotu couldn't help but pout, in the kingdom, Prince Fayunna has always been known for his stability and elegance, what can force him to scold? The Germanic affairs are no secret, and if Prince Fayunna wanted to scold, he would have scolded him eight hundred times, so why wait until today? Grana had sensed the anger of His Royal Highness, so he didn't bother to touch Fayunna's brow, so he slowed down and followed Quasimoto. Quasimoto is like a mirror in his heart, but he doesn't bother to bother with a villain like Grana. Entering the castle, you can feel the gloomy aura coming from Fayunna, Quasimotu saluted, and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, the Knights of the Birds have been prepared, and Duke Vascro's troops and horses have entered the southwest of Yellinburg, and we can launch an attack on the Rogda Hills at any time." ”

"It's finally here, order Duke Vasquero, tomorrow I will cooperate with the Yerinburg garrison to attack the Rogda Hills, and be sure to take the Rogda Hills for me within two days" Fayunna clenched his fists, the nerves on his face beat, Quasimotu couldn't help but be stunned, should he be so anxious? "Your Royal Highness, isn't it a little wait, the Duke's soldiers and horses have bypassed the Baltic Sea, and because the Mengshan people are fighting, they are in such a hurry to attack Rogda, I'm afraid it will not be good for us."

Before he finished speaking, Quasimotu felt the cold wind swishing in his back, and Fayuna looked at him like a substance, his eyes full of mockery, "Hey, Your Excellency Quasimotu, do you think that this king has commanded the army for many years and has been crisscrossing the North Sea, do you still need to teach this truth?" In case you didn't know, the Swedes had joined forces with the Norges, and under the leadership of the Swedish royal family, they had formed a corps of more than 30,000 men, which would soon be ready to attack the kingdom's lands near the city of Kalmar. The Easterners have also solved the Kingdom of Saxony, and have sent an army of more than 20,000 people to approach the high mountains, how can this king not be in a hurry? If we don't fight again, we can drag the Easterners and Swedes to death. Now the Germanic people of Lothair are somewhat capable of cooperating with us to fight a dozen Kiporos, and in another half a month, hehe, after the Orientals have wiped out the Germans, with our troops, how can we fight the strong Orientals? ”

Quasimoto frowned, but he didn't know that the situation had collapsed to such an extent, not only the Orientals were approaching the Baltic Sea, but even the Swedes were tossing and turning, this was really a leak in the rain overnight. If you really want to talk about it, the Swedes can be regarded as smart, and if you don't move sooner or later, you have to do it at this time. With the strength of the Swedes, it is okay to toss on the surface of the Baltic Sea, but if you want to be strong on land, it is tantamount to looking for death. But the timing was very opportune, and now it was not only the Kingdom of Denmark that was interested in the Baltic Sea, but also the more powerful Empire of the East, an outsider. The Swedes can get more benefits by relying on this strength in their hands, and they are really worthy of doing business, and they can calculate so clearly at any time. At this time, he finally understood why Fayuna was so furious, and dared to be overshadowed by the Swedes, "Huh, if that's the case, then we must fight quickly, if we can't take enough strategic points before the Easterners can solve the Germans, we can only retreat quickly." The army is far away in Kipros and is not safe after all. The Swedes now occupy the Baltic Sea, which can be described as a strange commodity to live in, waiting for a price to sell, if they let them toss around the city of Kalmar again, our back road will be a problem. ”

Fayuna finally soothed, and Quasimoto was not too stupid. If the situation allows, who is willing to rush to launch the battle of Rogda, the hills of Rogda are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Orientals suffered a loss when they attacked here. Fawerna soon summoned the nobles of the army to discuss the details of the attack on the Rogda hills, and the tone had already been set, and no one would be stupid enough to play against Fayunna. On the eleventh day of the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, the Royal Danish Army, led by the Knights of the Birds, took the lead in launching a surprise attack on the Kipros garrison stationed on the outskirts of the Rogda hills. During this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Danes were inactive for a long time, so the soldiers guarding the outlying garrisons were inevitably a little slack, and in the evening, most of them hid in adobe houses to make fires. The timing of the attack of the Bird Knights was very accurate, and while the garrison was cooking on the fire, it suddenly came out of the woods, and the defenders rushed to the battle, where could they stop the wolf-like Bird Cavalry? In just half an hour, the Knights of the Birds conquered the garrison, and the Battle of the Rogda Hills began.

The military situation flew into Cao Yuan's hands like a snowflake, and the attack of the Flying Bird Knights was quite sharp, and the outer garrison was broken through in an instant. To the northwest, a large number of Danish main forces also pounced on the Rogda hills. More than a dozen staff officers continued to make estimates, and finally had a general understanding of the enemy's strength, so they hurriedly came to the commander's tent, "General Cao, the Danes have deployed nearly 20,000 troops in the northwest direction, and this is the focus of our defense." Looking at the posture of the Danes, they are going to swallow the Rogda Hills in a short time. Although our army now has the advantage of the terrain of Rogda, its forces are too small, and it is necessary to ask for reinforcements from Vladimir City. ”

"No" Cao Yuan immediately rejected the staff officer's proposal, compared to the Rogda hills, Vladimir City is more important, "Although the Germans have retreated to the line of the Suzdal River, the remnants of the army can pounce on Vladimir City again at any time, the defenders there need to guard against a large number of Germanic remnants, how can there be extra soldiers and horses to gallop to help us?" If the city of Vladimir is lost, you and I will be to blame even if we die. Yelena's ministry is now fifty miles away from us, telling them to abandon Yerinburg and go all out to the aid of the Rogda Hills. ”

Yelena's soldiers and horses are not elite, and their numbers are not as good as the Vladimir defenders in Hai Dongzhu's hands, but Cao Yuan can only think of Yelena's soldiers and horses now. Although the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous army of nearly 10,000 people may not be strong, as long as it is used well, it may not be able to play a great role. On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Fayunna personally came to the front line, and for a time the morale of the Danish soldiers was greatly boosted, and they began to launch a second overwhelming attack on the Rogda hills. The Danes relied on their sufficient strength and tried to get a result in the shortest possible time, so they recklessly formed a tight formation and advanced little by little, even if the Dingguo army continued to rain arrows, they still couldn't stop the Danes' attack. Once in the hinterland of Rogda, the Knights of the Birds looked a little embarrassed, because the cavalry could not play much role in this kind of terrain. Fawerna ordered the Knights of the Birds to bypass the Rogda Hills from the flanks and begin clearing the outlying garrisons.

"Report, General Cao, the left wing of Wei Dutong's headquarters has suffered heavy losses, and he asked to retreat" A herald ran in breathlessly, Cao Yuan's forehead was bruised, what was the combat effectiveness of this army under his command, he was clear, it took less than two days, he suffered heavy losses, and asked to retreat, you can imagine how tragic the battle was in front. Looking at the Rogda battlefield sand table in front of him, he kept looking for the location of Wei Ting's department, which is located in the northwest corner of the Rogda hills, holding the highest place in the northwest, once Wei Ting's soldiers and horses are withdrawn, the soldiers and horses on the slopes of the adjacent valleys and valleys around him will suffer a great disaster, "Order Wei Ting, even if he hits the last person, he must withstand it for half an hour, and order the soldiers and horses in the northwest region to withdraw to the second line of defense to resist within half an hour." ”

The herald didn't have time to drink a sip and hurried away. In the northwest defense area, the two sides have already started hand-to-hand combat, and Wei Ting's unit has suffered heavy casualties, and now it is not even possible to gather 400 people. The Danes still rushed up in a steady stream, Wei Ting didn't know if he could hold on for half an hour, watching the familiar brothers around him fall one by one, his heart was like a knife. Military orders are like mountains, even if there is no more unpleasantness, you must swallow it. Wei Ting didn't understand why General Cao would give such an explicit order, all he could do was to go on unswervingly, maybe he could guess some, his defensive position was the high ground in the northwest area, which directly affected the surrounding defense areas. If he retreats first, the surrounding soldiers will suffer directly, and I am afraid that it will buy time for the surrounding brothers to retreat. The soldiers around him all drooped their heads, even if they were lucky, they would inevitably suffer some minor injuries, in the eyes of the soldiers, Wei Ting saw loneliness and unwillingness, "Raise your heads, you look like this, the next attack of the Danish will gnaw you to the point that there are no bones left." ”

"Wei Dutong, I can't wait for it, why don't you withdraw, if you continue to fight, the brothers will fight out, and then the banner of our Tiger Battalion will be gone. Brothers are not afraid of death, but they have to keep a little incense, people are dead, the flag is gone, what do we have left? "For ordinary soldiers, they don't understand those big truths, but they know one thing, the flag of the Tiger Battalion is spelled out little by little for more than ten years, and there is an unwritten rule in the army, when a unit is completely annihilated and the flag is lost, then this army will not exist. The fighters did not want the Tiger Battalion to disappear like this, this flag carried the efforts of too many people. Wei Ting secretly clenched his fists and frowned tightly, "Brothers, I assure you that even if we stand to the last soldier, the Tiger Battalion will continue to exist. Of course, there is no problem at all with our withdrawal, but have you ever thought about it, there are still more than 4,000 brothers in the entire defense area, and we have withdrawn, what will they do? What we are doing now is to let more brothers live and retreat from battle, which has never been the style of the Tiger Battalion. That flag is not for people to see, but to be engraved in our hearts, we are brave, we fight for more people, and the brothers behind us will definitely remember us. ”

Woo woo, a bull horn sounded, the Danish attack came again, Wei Ting pulled out the blood-stained steel knife and stood under the banner, "Brothers, stand up, Xiongxiong Guanzhong, repair my armor, so far the land, coexist with me, under the scorching sun, fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

"Kill.... Kill..."A rejuvenated battalion of tigers was forever daunting, and more than 400 soldiers pounced on the crazy Danes. One, two, people kept lying in pools of blood, the icy cold wind swept by, and the blood clotted and turned into ice crystals. When evening fell again, there was only a heavy wheezing sound on the high ground, and in the wind, a flag embroidered with a tiger kept fluttering.

A Danish centurion placed one hand on his chest and respectfully performed a chivalric salute to the flag. A warrior is always worthy of respect, even if the other party is an enemy. In the command post, Cao Yuan sat on a stool expressionlessly, holding his hair with both hands, and his body trembled slightly. He was afraid, but he couldn't tell others, because he was the commander of the Rogda hills and the backbone of more than 10,000 soldiers. With a bang, the door was opened, and the deputy general Cui Lin broke in in a lost soul, "General Cao... Camp Tigers... The Tiger Battalion is over...."

Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel a sharp pain when I really heard the news. The Tiger Battalion has always been an old elite, and its qualifications are older than the Ruifeng Battalion, and it was a cronie of General Niu Gao at the beginning, and participated in the Battle of Wuzhou City and the Battle of Yinzhou, and made great contributions in the battle to exterminate Western Xia. In the Battle of Yongding River that year, the elite cavalry under the command of Yan Zongwang was severely damaged with a large infantry array, which shocked the Quartet. This is an iron-blooded soldier, the elite of the elite, and the prestige of the Tiger Battalion has been killed by generations of soldiers. However, this tiger battalion, which only had countless glory, was buried in the hands of his Cao Yuan. Cao Yuan closed his eyes in pain, he could imagine what kind of expression His Highness would have when he heard the news. If someone said that the Ruifeng battalion was completely annihilated, what would be the reaction? The destruction of the Tiger Battalion dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Rogda garrison, and after nightfall, although the Danes stopped attacking, faint sobs could be heard everywhere in the army.

The people who withdrew from the northwest defense area understood why the Tiger Battalion was completely annihilated, because they were elite, soldiers and horses guarding the high ground, and they had to be the last to retreat. The others withdrew, and the Tiger Battalion behind the palace had no way to live. The bodies of many soldiers could not be recovered, so they had to dig a pit to bury some clothing. Under the desolate night sky, the war is ruthless, and people are affectionate.

Time is like a knife urging people to grow old, but who can know the destruction of time on people's hearts? It's not terrible for people to be old, but it's terrible to be broken-hearted. The fall of the Tiger Battalion, like a plague, swept through the Rogda hills. No one cared how badly the Danes had lost, they cared that the Tiger Battalion no longer existed. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the Danes did not give Cao Yuan's troops any respite at all, and before the fog dissipated, a new round of onslaught was launched. On the front line of the Suzdal River, after learning that the Danes had stormed the Rogda hills, the remnants of Lothair's troops also regained their glory and began to approach Vladimir City, trying to contain Vladimir's army and help the Danes break through the Rogda hills as soon as possible.

In the bluestone castle of Vladimir City, Hai Dongzhu was pacing in annoyance, it had been two days, and there was no news in the direction of Rogda, which was not a good phenomenon, "Commander Wan, how many troops and horses can we send to aid Rogda now?" ”

Wan Tao thought about it, and said with a wry smile helplessly, "Hai Guiren, we can only draw out more than 5,000 people now, and this bit of soldiers and horses is a drop in the bucket for the current Rogda hills." ”
