Volume II: Southern Beacon 1155
After a day of fierce fighting, the river was full of red, this battle for the river, with the slow retreat of the Dorok army and the prelude to the first confrontation, on the bloody and muddy embankment, the exhausted Falcon Army swept the battlefield, and some nearby Ryerdian refugees also ran to look for their relatives, "Bisdi, God willing, you are still alive......" The one who found it let out a cry of joy, hugged each other tightly, and there was nothing found in the living, like a ghost wandering in the night, looking for his relatives with love and loneliness,
Found, very carefully dragged out of the pile of corpses, and then sadly for its convergence, there was a whimpering low cry in the mouth, did not find, can only continue to search, but the battle at that time was too fierce, broken weapons and bloody broken armor, as the river washed away, the smell of tragic blood, still wafting in the air, because it was the most tragic hand-to-hand combat, most of the corpses did not stay, they all flowed with the rushing river to the unknown distance, "woo woo"
Many of the people of Ruierdian squatted by the rushing river and cried heartbreakingly,
The river wind blew violently, and the raindrops in the sky stopped in the evening, and in the distant sky there was a colorful sunset, like a golden glow projected from among the stratus clouds, making this time full of sorrow a little more bleak
With the arrival of the two infantry regiments of the Central Army, Hukochili finally survived the first day with great difficulty, and as the commander of the battle, he did not dare to be careless. But when he walked through this river beach, he still couldn't bear to turn his head,
Looking from the dirt slope where he was, the white shroud of the corpses below made the entire embankment white, and three thousand corpses were lying in the vast flat behind him, and the embankment was full of people who turned the corpses, and the soldiers were silently looking for their surviving colleagues. Civilians hope to find information about their loved ones, but alas, answer them. It was a bloody corpse lifted down from the embankment, and these corpses were lined up behind the embankment, and more and more people gathered here to "stop!"
Hukochili waved his hand to stop a group carrying the corpse from the side. There were only 15 soldiers in this squad carrying 7 corpses, and the formation of a squad was generally between 2030 people, that is, half of the squad was gone, and they were staggering in the mud with lost souls, their faces full of sadness, and there were many people like them on the embankment, and the reason why it attracted the attention of Hukochili was because the soldiers of this squad were wearing leather armor in the style of backpacks issued during temporary call-ups,
This leather armor was produced a few months before the fall of the Ryldian. Due to the loss of the three northern prefectures rich in iron ore, and the large-scale expansion of the military power in Kyoto by the independent second prince, the once rich Parabun Kyoto began to be unable to supply the army's armament, so the idea of using light leather armor was proposed on a large scale.
The advantage of leather armor is that it is easy to manufacture on a large scale, and it only needs to be salted and then dried in the animal skin, while the forging of iron armor is troublesome, not only to have sufficient iron ore but also to require a large number of skilled craftsmen, compared with the two. The second prince adopted the simplicity of equipping light leather armor, and the Ruierdian army, which was accustomed to the heavy armor cluster tactics, obviously felt difficult to adapt to the light leather armor, which was also a reason why in the Battle of Staros, although the Ruierdian army was numerous, it also experienced a great decline in combat power in the later stage of the battle, and finally failed completely.
But this inventory of leather armor saved Hukochili's life,
If it weren't for these equipment to arm these thousands of Ruierdians, with only less than 20,000 falcons, they would definitely not be able to attack like a mountain of mountains just now, from a certain point of view, most of the attacks just now fell on the heads of these thousands of first-line Ruierdian soldiers, it was their bravery and persistence, and the whole battle won a little turnaround, "My lord!"
Seeing that it was a general who stopped him, the soldiers hurriedly put down the corpse and stood on both sides to salute Hukochli,
Hu Keqili stepped forward without hesitation, uncovered a white shroud at the front and took a look, "You want to carry him there, don't you know the rules of the army? All the corpses killed in battle must be cremated, not only for the convenience of cleaning, but also to avoid the plague epidemic after the war" "He is my younger brother! I want to take him back for my mother to take one last look before cremating! I really don't have any other ideas" The team leader stood next to him and said with a pale face,
Although he was not a regular Falcon Army, he also knew that this was a strict violation of military regulations, the military regulations of the Falcon Army have always been strict, vigorous and resolute, as a Rui Erdian, he could already imagine the roar of this stern-faced general when he used the topic to play, he straightened up, and was ready to accept punishment
"Are you going to take him back like this, with blood and your punishment?"
To everyone's surprise, instead of showing his anger, Hu Keqili took out a white handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped away the thick blood stains on the faces of the dead soldiers very carefully.
The fluff at the corners of his mouth is slightly upturned, his golden curls are coiled on his forehead, his eyebrows are clear, a very young and handsome young man, it should be the kind that many beautiful girls will have a crush on in their hearts, but at this moment, this young life has been lost forever, his cry and life have been left in this embankment forever, his blood flows into the big river in front of him, the cold wind blows across the river with a whistling, it seems that the previous fight has not stopped, and the heroic soul of the warrior is still shouting,
"He's good, better than a lot of people!"
Hukochili cautiously took out a golden medal from his bosom, which he had obtained in the Northland War, and the young man in front of him made him see the blood of a people who were once their enemies, but now they were their own warriors, and their bravery and fearlessness were enough to deserve the name of the Falcon Army
He gently placed the medal in the ear of the young man's corpse and said to the squad leader of the Ryldian
"A word to your mother, he is the bravest warrior I have ever met, I am proud of him and his brother, it is my honor to be able to fight with you, just say that the Central General Hukochili said!
"Adult ......"
Looking at Hukochili's distant figure, the team leader whimpered a little, and something hot surged in his heart
"Everyone search carefully, maybe there are still surviving brothers!" "Like Hukochili, the officers of the Falcon Army are also active on the embankment, they are exhausted and almost prostrate, but they still squat down to check the pulse of the corpses one by one, this is the military regulations of the Falcon Army, until all the soldiers are found, the officers cannot rest, whether they live or die, the officers should know their soldiers well, together, the officers will record the ashes of each corpse, and then deliver them to their relatives... ...
In late autumn, a black mountain goshawk flies through the blue sky in the refreshing Dorok Mountains after the rain, and under the wings is the twilight range, and the towering Dorok Snow Mountains on both sides cut off the direction of the mountains, this deep and dignified color contrasts sharply with the cyan coniferous forests under the snow-capped mountains, forming a wonderful picture.
"Sometimes, I doubt that a guy like you, who can't even shoot a wild sheep, can be a full-fledged falcon officer!" a dexterous figure lamented beside the fat man,
This is a delicate little beauty, neat short black hair, a jade-like smooth and flawless melon seed face, a light moon-like willow eyebrows, the most heart-warming thing is the pair of smart eyes, at this time the tears are shining, but it does not affect her beauty, but adds a gripping and mournful charm, wearing a tight suit similar to a mountain hunter, convex and backward, outlining an almost S-shaped perfect body, the person who can make such a mockery of the fat man so unscrupulously is naturally Fergelin who was left in the Northern Army,
The fat man was dressed as a middle-level officer, wearing chain mail that was not expensive, and carrying a hunting bow used by the Dorok hunter in his hand, and behind him, three guards with nervous expressions followed, and the falcon suddenly came to hunt, which caught the guards a little off guard.
Who doesn't know that the falcon majesty Xià is not flattering archery, as long as it is more than 30 meters, even a bison may not be able to shoot, to shoot a mountain wild goat known for its agility in the mountains, it is absolutely fantastical,
"I'm not used to this thing, and it's normal to miss the target"
The fat man threw the mountain hunting bow in his hand to one of the guards behind him, and he looked unimpressed by Fergelin's sarcasm, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I'm just a regimental logistics officer, even if I have the best archery skills like yours, it's useless!
"Are you really lazy, I really doubt that you are not Caesar Sauron's own nephew? As far as I know, Caesar Solon is the leading general in the Falcon Army, and he governs the army strictly, how can there be a nephew like you?" Fergelin turned his head a little disbelievingly, and looked at the fat man with a pair of big watery eyes, including affection
"Don't you think, even if it's a wreck, someone likes it!" The fat man's eyes narrowed into a line, and he looked up and down at Fergling half-truthfully, and his squinting eyes made Fergling turn his head shyly
Verglin rode his horse and rushed to the side, and a crisp voice like a silver bell shook over, "You are only talking nonsense, my father told me to be more careful with you, saying that someone like you can sell me, and I will count you for money!"
"No, but I paid to get him out!
'How can he say that about me'" The fat man looked aggrieved, looking at Fergelin's delicate figure like a flower butterfly,
"Actually, maybe I can't shoot a wild goat, but maybe I can shoot a more agile target, but how many people can see this!" ......)
