Arubelich and the commander of the 35th Hussar Regiment, Ivan Tozhov, had been eyeing Juan José's central army for a whole day. Biquge.infoIn the early morning of January 6th, a mist filled the entire Besr Valley. The Iberian Army was still marching early, and for two days it had not encountered any resistance, which filled the whole army with a relaxed atmosphere.

"The Pharians must be huddled in the fortress and trembling now." Everybody thinks so.

"Your Excellency Tozhov, are you all ready?" Arubelleich asked quietly.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the other party's main formation to appear." Ivan Tozhov, 28 years old, with a mustache, was one of the few people in the 3rd Army who was older than the regiment.

"The enemy came into sight and did not find the formation." Herald report.

After a while, the Mastar army, which had opened the way in front, came in a more rigorous procession, and the soldiers seemed to be cautious and advanced very slowly. The entire forward numbered 10,000 people, stretching for nearly a mile, and it took about 20 minutes to walk through the ambush point of the French army. The fog is getting thinner.

The distance between the valley and the mouth of the valley is about 20 fats, and the valley to the north is almost directly facing the Gresden fortress, which is wider than the Mayam valley to the southeast. The slopes on both sides are made of solid granite, and it is not easy to climb directly from the bottom, but it is even more neat from the top down. The slopes of the hill are still the boundaries of the Abdullah Forest, and dense beech trees cover the entire hill.

"Spot the enemy's home formation!"

"The whole regiment is on horseback and ready for battle!" The two regiment commanders ordered in unison.

At this time, a swaggering three-headed dragon flag came into view. Slowly, slowly moving closer. It didn't take long for the ambush to be reached, and the Iberian commander-in-chief, Juan José, was riding his horse proudly.

"Assault of the whole army!" With the orders of the two regimental commanders, 4,000 hussars rushed down from the high slopes to the east and took the opponent's main position. The Iberian Army was completely unprepared for an enemy attack and was caught off guard. The Iberian army marched in eight columns on the left and right, with three columns of the enemy devastating by the Falencian throwing weapons, and the other column being crushed by the hussars in a panic. The Iberian home was directly exposed to the eyes of the Pharisens.

Such a battle is somewhat adventurous. If the head of the opponent's main general cannot be taken in a short time, then 4,000 cavalry is just like ants to an army of 70,000. The Falencian army is well aware of this. Arubelich led a hundred horsemen to Juan José, while Tozhov commanded the rest of the men to hold back the enemy.

Arubelich's onslaught, but José's guards resisted desperately and fought and retreated. Arubelich has killed four people, but the opposing commander is still out of reach.

"Wing-Mnast, are you alright? If you go any further, you will be completely destroyed! Tozhov shouted.

As time went on, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Falencian army. A large number of people were gathered in the narrow space, and the cavalry had no mobility to speak of. Although the Iberian National Army had been intimidated by the bravery of the opposing side, a considerable number of knights in the vicinity of the camp had a powerful influence on the situation. Arubelich is still trying to fight, but the Iberian knight's pestering is that he is making no progress. Tozhov is already preparing to withdraw from the battlefield. At this moment, countless Farencian flags were raised on the eastern slopes, and the sound of trumpets and drums was everywhere.

"Could it be the reinforcements of the Falency that we have fallen into a great ambush?" Jose thought to himself. Many of the Iberian soldiers panicked, and the commanders were also taken aback, and they reflexively drove the soldiers to the east, which caused several columns that had been on the west side to move closer to the center.

Just as the Iberians were focused on the east, another group of Farencian hussars rushed down on the western slopes. This group of cavalry entered the opponent's main position almost without resistance, and the Iraqi army was in great disarray.

The momentary confusion also infected José's guards, and Arubelleshi saw an opportunity to sneak through the enemy's human wall and come to José. José was so frightened that he drew his sword to resist, but Arubellehi slashed it with his sword. But before the blade could reach José, his head was off his neck. Arubelich could see through the blood splattered from José's neck that he had beheaded the enemy general, a woman with silver-gray hair. Her ice-blue eyes and blood-stained sword were reminiscent of the Valkyrie, Brünnhilde.

The Iberian knights who rushed up from behind Arubelich were stunned by the sight of the commander of the Iberian army of 90,000 being beheaded. The knights screamed and drew their swords and pounced on the Pharians, but in the end it was only they who bleed. The Iberian knights were undoubtedly quite courageous, but the already dispersed civilian army quickly carried the news of the death of the commander to the troops behind. The Pharians certainly had no need to stop them.

"General José was killed, and the front was full of Farencian barbarians."

"Nonsense, don't disturb the morale of the army!" Even if the commander could kill the first man, he would not be able to shut the mouths of all the soldiers who escaped. A few minutes later, news of the Lord's beheading spread throughout the Iberian Army.

"Are you the Legion Commander?" The silver-gray haired woman asked.

"In Nizhny Arubelich Wing Mnast, commander of the 42nd Hussar Regiment," Arubelich replied humbly, "Your Excellency is ......"

"I'm the commander of the 13th Division, Jeanne Lanfonte. Now it's up to me to command. ”

The French military law provided that an officer of a higher rank could order an officer of a lower rank, even in different units, if the junior officer was not present with his superior or if he was not on duty. Farensi's rank is a lifelong honorary title for the individual, and is linked to the position he has held. Before the establishment of the knighthood system, it was the only criterion for distinguishing the status of the Falencians, and even now many people regard military rank as more important than title.

"Yes, Your Excellency." It was not that he looked down on women, but that he did not think that China could command as well as Sogrend.

The reason why China can appear here has nothing to do with the battle between Hayes and Garcia. Because of the speed of the march, the two were so fast that Chenna, who was supposed to run into them, ended up with their tails in tow. According to later analysis, the difference between the two sides was only 4 fats in the recent past.

The Iberians no longer have any hope of fighting. The commanders of the various banner companies, that is, the counts, wanted to preserve their strength; And the soldiers were not willing to die for the sake of the nobles. So, the Iberians agreed on the matter of retreat. It is a pity that they did not do it successfully in execution, and together with a small charge by the Farencian army, the whole army lost basic discipline.

Although there were quite a few officers who scolded their soldiers and wanted to maintain discipline, this was no longer of any effect. The assault of the Phalenci hussars added fuel to the fire, and the 60,000 Iberian army began to crumble. No one wants to die here in vain, but the chaos of 60,000 people still left a lot of dead and wounded. Noble officers were trampled to death by the flow of people, and many of those who tried to maintain order with their swords were stabbed in the throat with spears, and the narrow valley became a bloody cage.

Instead of letting the troops pursue, China turned around and cleared out the still recalcitrant Mastar army. Although the Falencians were numerically inferior, no one even in peacetime thought that the Mastar light infantry would be a match for the Phalanx hussars in the absence of phalanx troops and heavy knights, and the difference in numbers was not too large. Not to mention the Mastar, who are now a little flustered. The Mastar had absolutely no idea what was going on, and the only thing they could see was that the Pharensias began to attack them with impunity, which made them understand the fact that their allies had been routed.

Arubelich and Tozhov brought the strengths of the hussars to the fullest, constantly assaulting, dividing, and encircling. Cenna's 4,000 hussars, with their cooperation, easily annihilated one enemy after another.

In the battle, known as the "Bessr Valley Assault", the Iberian army lost 22,000 men, including 53 nobles and nobles of all sizes; The Mastar army lost 5,800 casualties, and another 4,000 surrendered. The Pharansi paid only a modest price of 889 killed. Later historians agree that this was the turning point of the First Battle of Arc.

When the Phalancian army was collecting the spoils of war, Tozhov asked: "Who was there waving the flag and shouting?" ”

After thinking about it, Arubelle Heath felt that there was only one person possible. "It should be Mun Chuck."

"Yes, that's right." The old thief leader jumped out at no time, and behind him was naturally a group of his brothers, about three hundred people.

"How did you get here?" Tozhov asked.

"Without me, your herald almost made it to Gresden. I'm just here to pay the deposit for the corn seeds. ”

"Who is this man?" China asked.

"Ah, beautiful young lady," said Mun Chuck, "I am the world-famous thief who has tormented countless sheriffs. Oh yes, now under the protection of Lord Sogret Leus, continue the cause of justice. "Thieves have always been thick-skinned.

"Don't trouble Lord Luce, if this young lady sues the king, the captain of the legion will be dismissed." Arubellech whispered.

"That's right, let him lead this group of thieves and go on a chivalrous journey with us."

China didn't react in any particular way, but asked Tozhov: "Where is Admiral Ryus now?" When he heard that he was ready to retake Rokohit after joining up with reinforcements, he also ordered: "March to Rokohit." ”

"It's over. Mang Chuck, your corn seeds are going to be confiscated for horse feed. Arubellich said.

"Beautiful young lady, if you feel lonely after the war, just call out, and I will fly to your side to comfort you at once." The leader of the thieves was only interested in paying homage to Chenna, who was far away. Arubelleich and Tozhov also had to shake their heads. It makes no sense that such a bohemian man would bow down to that legion commander.

On the other hand, the army led by Sogrand was closing in on Rokocht. According to Arudina's report, the defenders of Rokohit were about 10,000 Iberian troops.

"What do you want to do with them? 10,000 is a lot. Rakoxiu asked.

"We can't afford to spend too much time repeating Oiffi Santero's plan." Thorgrande narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "The other party also offered to ask us to do this." "Apparently, the careless scouts of Iberia showed their feet.

If the defender of Rokohit had been a coward, Mastar's perfect strategy would not have failed completely. However, the ruler who came to power in a coup d'état could only promote the young Zhuang faction, so the count in charge of guarding the fortress was also a man who was bent on earning honor with the blood on his sword. When the news of the approaching Pharansis army came, the Iraqi generals were eager to try, hoping that the enemy would come to the door to seek death.

The second scout brought information about the enemy's hasty retreat. The Iberian Army's defender, Count Don Gelamán Costa, was two years older than Sogrande, but he was more impulsive and belligerent in comparison, though he was not lacking in ability. from our army to the border; Judging from the fact that the enemy led his troops to attack the key points of the supply line, but retreated in a hurry, Costa naturally judged that our army had captured Gresden, and the remnants of the enemy army had fled. If you take the opportunity to pursue and cover up, it will be a great achievement. As a result, 10,000 Iberian troops almost poured out, leaving only more than 200 men to defend the city.

The Iberian Army pursued them all the way and soon reached the mouth of the Mryat Valley. Living up to their expectations, they finally found the figure of the Falency Axe warrior used for the queen in the valley. The exhausted soldiers finally picked up their spirits and picked up speed, and the Iberian army entered the valley, which can be described as "a stream of fish".

Soon after, however, the screams of the rearguard woke up Costa, who was immersed in the dream of victory. The Iberians were surprised to find that the Pharisens were behind them. Caught off guard, a large number of arrows were struck, and the Hussars of Farensi rushed forward with long swords.

"The guard changed to the forward, the whole army turned around, rushed! Kill all the Pharian barbarians. Costa hurriedly reversed course, after all, the way back to his hometown was important to the soldiers.

There was a lack of cavalry in the Iberian army, with only 800 out of 10,000 men. This had little to do with Costa's territory, mainly because the count was stingy and refused to spend money on expensive cavalry. And although the impact power of the infantry is worse than that of the cavalry, it will not cost him a few shots in peacetime. Now Costa must regret it, but he can only save his trump card until the critical moment, so the Iberian Army is only charged by infantry.

The center of the Falencian army seemed to have been unformed at the time of blockade, and the battle began to retreat, and soon a half-moon was formed outside the valley mouth, but the middle of the half-moon appeared to be thinner. Costa, of course, saw the other party's shortcomings, "Let's make a central breakthrough and unfold the back." He thought to himself.

"The whole army is attacking the center of the enemy army, follow me!" There is no doubt that Costa is a brave man in addition to being stingy. He personally led 800 horsemen to the front, and the soldiers responded to their lord and swarmed up.

The Farencian army put up a desperate resistance, but was still broken through. Costa also paid a heavy price: the only eight hundred riders lost nearly two-thirds in such a short period of time. Just as he was rejoicing in the success of his tactics, a group of Farenci hussars appeared in front of them, led by a Tsing Yi knight. The other side carried out a counter-assault, and how could the Iberian army, which had become the end of a strong crossbow, withstand the onslaught of the hussars, who were known for their fierceness? I saw that the Iberians kept screaming and falling to the ground.

As Costa hesitated, the Tsing Knight rushed up to him. After three rounds, he only felt a chill in his neck, and he didn't feel it anymore. The fact that the commander was killed in front of the battle in public was a big shock to the soldiers, and the fatigue of the long-distance pursuit made the resistance of the Iberians appear weak. Soon, the battle ended with the surrender of the losers.

In the battle, the Iberian army lost 6,400 casualties, and the French army lost more than 700 casualties and 3,300 prisoners.

When the Phalencian army returned to Rochohit, the sun had not yet risen to its highest point. Sogrand effortlessly recaptured the fortress. As he ascended the tower, Arudina reported to him about the battle. He was pleased with Arubelich's success, and he was supposed to let them delay harassing his opponents, but he didn't expect to have such a record.

The news of the defeat of the two enemy forces caused Sogrand to change his original plan and order: all fortress arrangements should be maintained as they are, two regiments should be transferred to disguise themselves as the Iberian Army, and the disarmed prisoners should be returned to Iberia.

In fact, there is another reason: it was discovered that the princess of Mastar was also in the defeated army. Sogrand certainly wanted to live, but not for her beauty, but for political reasons. In the event of an accident to that princess, the Mastar Empire will devote all its strength to fight against Falency, and victory or defeat will not benefit Farency. In addition, if it is a prince, it is better to withhold and ask for ransom from the other party. But the seizure of a princess will bring a lot of international public opinion pressure, maybe in the end, the chicken stealing will not be successful, but the rice will be lost, and the ransom will not be paid. Thorgrande didn't want to be the public enemy of all the knights on the continent at a young age.

Therefore, it is ironic to consider the safety and decency of the enemy when fighting.

"Arudina, go and drive your prey into a trap." Sogrend said.

"More than happy to help, Your Excellency." After Arudina replied happily, she rode the Wyvern and led the two regiments away. Although she is two years younger than Rakoxiu, she is already a general, and she can be on her own.
