Volume II: Southern Beacon 1145
The wind blew through the fields, and in September, riding the tail of late autumn, the rain clouds blowing from the Dorok Mountains had begun to fall.
The land of the Paravon Plains in the mist and rain is as beautiful as a poem. The slanting raindrops hit the armor of the black cavalry, bringing a hint of late autumn coolness, and the red sè cloak of the Guards cavalry was like a red sè rain cloud, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves were flying in the muddy road, splashing muddy water.
"Report, latest battle report!" a herald cavalry from the front stopped Hukochili's horse, and the rain flowed down the cracks in his armor on the wet ground,
"How is the battle situation on the front line?" Hukochili glanced at the herald cavalry who was dripping with rain, and asked with a slightly slow face, the herald cavalry wiped the rain on his face with his hand, and said, "It's not clear for the time being, I just know that a day ago, the Dorok army had broken through the Anxia Pass, the western Fourth Banner Regiment stationed in the Anxia Valley was scattered, the Fifth Flag Regiment on the flank was still resisting stubbornly, and the Dorok army spared the Fifth Banner Regiment and was pressing towards the defense line of the Gadisa River less than 50 miles away from Paravon!"
"What did Crollissatt do! Did he just watch as a main regiment of banners was routed, causing the Dorok to swagger into the Paraven Plains?" Hukochili's face became more and more somber in the rain, "How many of Dorok's army are there?"
Hukochili took a deep breath and continued to ask, although he had already prepared for the worst on the way to help, and kept sending scouts to pay attention to the battle situation, he really heard that the Anxialing Valley was lost so quickly. It still made him a little distracted, the speed of the Dorok people's advance was too fast, and it broke the center of gravity of the battle Anxia Ling just appeared, on the one hand, it does not rule out the reason for the paralysis of the Western Army, and on the other hand, it also proves how fierce the Dorok offensive is
Rushing to the aid of the Western Army was a death order given to him by His Majesty Falcon, and he was still one step behind. Now we can only hope that Dorok has a limited force and will not involve the whole of Paravon in a short period of time, otherwise His Majesty Falcon will have to change the general deployment of the Battle of Dorok. and even completely lost the initiative of the entire campaign" The first wave of predictions is 40,000 people, and the specific details are not clear!" The herald cavalry hesitated for a moment, and replied in an uncertain tone, "How did you do it." It's been a day and it's not clear!" Hukochili was stunned for a moment, obviously dissatisfied with this answer, losing a main flag regiment, and not even knowing how many enemies there were, which was simply unbelievable in the past" Because the Dorok army was too close to Paravon, and the Western Army blocked the defense line of the Rigadiza River leading to the front line, so it was impossible to know the exact situation!" The herald cavalry also looked helpless
"Krollissat, is this guy crazy!" the herald replied, and Hukochili couldn't help but laugh, what is this guy doing at Krollissat? Undoubtedly, it was to allow the Dorok Army to march wantonly, which not only put the Fifth Banner Regiment, which was still resisting on the front line, into a situation where there were no reinforcements, but also caused turmoil in the hearts of the people in the Parabon Plain, which had just been pacified! Mistakes on top of mistakes not only did not help to turn the tide of the war, but on the contrary accelerated the deterioration of the war situation
The Zhongyāng Army was ordered to gallop to the aid of the Western Corps from the southwestern part of Dorok. Because of the urgency of the military situation, Hukochili could only personally lead the 3rd Guards Cavalry Banner Regiment stationed at the headquarters of the regiment as the leading force, and the infantry of the other 2 main infantry banner regiments followed.
The climate of Parabun in the middle of the continent is not as good as that of the southwestern mountains, and as soon as you enter the Parabun plain, you will encounter the autumn rain in front of you, and the speed of travel will begin to slow down
One of the squadron leaders who followed him was deeply worried. He said to Hukochili, "My lord, if it rains like this again, the roads are muddy, it is difficult for our guards cavalry to give full play to their mobile advantages, and the speed of our infantry group will also have a great impact."
"It's raining heavily! It's not necessarily a good thing for us."
Hu Keqili was noncommittal to the squadron leader's words, he looked up at the gray sky overhead, the white rain line fell from the endless sky, dripping on the endless earth, like a picture, but unfortunately the roaring hooves of the cavalry rode past the side broke this beautiful tranquility, the war has come with this rainy season, will the war destroy this qiē?
"Why is that?" the squadron leader looked dazed.
A hint of coldness flashed in Hu Keqili's eyes, and the corner of his mouth sneered, "The army is fighting, the most feared thing is that the season is not right, it is already late autumn, the autumn rain is cold and biting, the longer it falls, the more difficult it will be for the Dorok people to be the main attacker, and the army is trapped in the rain,
If we don't get enough supplies, just solving the problem of water invasion by the army tents is enough to give the Dorok people a headache, not to mention the various epidemics of cold brought by the autumn rain will also make the Dorok army's combat strength plummet, this is the heavens helping us!" Speed up, I will rush to the defense line of the Rigadiza River at noon today" Hukochi spurred his horse and ordered the Guards cavalry group that was speeding behind him,
He is still clear about the combat power of the Western Army, because it is a light mountain army, good at mobile operations in complex mountains, but it has irreparable shortcomings in cluster defense operations, and this time the Dorok people took the key assault of heavy army clusters, which can be said to be hitting the soft underbelly of the Western Army.
Crowrissat, who has never fought a regular defensive battle, must be stunned this time, so there will be a blockade of the front line, such a hasty and inappropriate reaction, since Crowrissat arranged the main force on the defense line of the Rigadisa River, then he himself should also be in command there, rather than guessing here, it is better to question me directly,
This battle can't continue like this, otherwise it will be impossible to defend a city of Paravon and lose the whole of Paravon, and then the anger from His Majesty the Falcon will not only fall on the bastard of Crorysat. \\\\
Hu Keqili led the 3rd Guards Cavalry Regiment of the Zhongyāng Army to the defense line of the Rigadiza River deployed by the Western Army at noon, and the chaotic scene in front of him made Hu Keqili also stunned, only to see that on the east side of the riverbank, the mountains were full of troops of the Western Army, and on the west bank of the river corresponding to the army, the black pressure of a piece of people could not see the end,
"Sure enough, the fluctuation of people's hearts is the most terrifying!"
It was a refugee from across the river, and because there were so many people that it completely blocked the only few bridges over the river, Hukochi couldn't help but be amazed: at least 100,000 people were crammed on the ferry and waiting to cross the river! Behind them, more defeated troops and refugees were moving towards the ferry, the bridges at the crossing were crowded with fleeing people, the crops on both sides of the river were trampled into cāo fields by the passing people, and several nearby villages were disfigured beyond recognition, and even the section of the mud embankment made of stones on the bank was trampled down.
The only three stone bridges on the river have climbed all over the crowd, like ants crawling all over a piece of sugar cube, and the noise and screams on the other side of the river keep coming, making this side palpitate. The terrifying scene of this desamine of soldiers, even the battle-hardened Hu Keqili couldn't help but feel cold,
"The reason for the blockade of the riverbank turned out to be like this!"
Hukochili began to understand the absurdity of Crorysat's decision to seal off the river
With so many people and such a chaotic situation, if it could not be contained, without the Dorok approaching, this flood of refugees would first break the Falcon's defenses, and then the rest of the river would also suffer
"My lord, look at ......" The accompanying squadron leader suddenly pointed to the military camp in the distance and shouted,
It was obvious that thousands of Guards cavalry had arrived, and an officer of the Falcon Army was coming here with a dozen retinues, and the squad led by this officer was like a grain of sand in a mudslide mixed with the huge crowd of refugees, and it took the officer more than ten minutes to arrive in front of Hukochili in horror in the countercurrent of the human cháo
"What's going on here?" Hukochili asked with a grimace,
Seeing the armor of the Guards General on his body and the twinkling gold star on his shoulder, which represented the identity of the Legion Commander, made the Western Legion sneer, jumped up and saluted, "......Legion Commander! You're Lord Hukochili, aren't you? Your Excellency, we've finally got reinforcements here, and you're coming so quickly!"
Hu Keqili looked at the officer's haggard face, bloodshot eyes, hoarse throat, and the chill on his face eased slightly, and asked, "Where is your corps commander?"
"The corps commander is holding a military meeting......" The officer's face turned a little pale, and he looked a little insincere
"Meeting? It's all messed up, he's still in a meeting! It seems that the luxury of Parabun has made him all confused."
Even Hukochili's good temper began to show faint signs of rage, and considering that the Dorok could appear at any time, he immediately ordered the cavalry to be stationed in place to rest,
"You take me to the Western Army Headquarters!" Hukochili grimaced with a cold face and asked the officer of the Western Army to take him to the Western Military Camp, when he was about to set off when he suddenly heard a chaotic noise from across the riverbank
"What's the matter?" Hukochili frowned, and a hint of foreboding rose in his heart, "Could it be that the Dorok people are here?"
"Enemy attack!" the mournful jingling sound that sounded on the riverbank undoubtedly proved his fear,
In the rear of the refugees, the rumbling sound was tight for a while, and across the river, the pressure of the army could be clearly felt.
As a long line of silver sè made up of countless spears slowly appeared on the horizon, the Dorok army finally appeared on the other side of the river
"Mom"
Those on the other side of the river who have not crossed the river are all in chaos, those who have not gone to the bridge are desperately squeezing on the bridge, and the crowd on the bridge is screaming and squeezing to the bridge, and the middle of the bridge is rolling like a wave, and from time to time someone is pushed down and stepped on by the people who are crowded with each other.
Someone was squeezed off the bridge, crying and scolding and screaming loudly, and the little dots of black sè fluttered into the water
"Damn it!"
Hu Keqili clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hurriedly shouted loudly to his subordinates behind him, "Come on, immediately organize people to build a few more pontoon bridges on the river!"
