722 Decision of the South (Eleven)

Belland Stone Bridge, Central Salander

Daping in central Saranda

There is a huge river called the Belem River. It originated from the Owen Snow Mountain near the northern mountains of Salander. This river passes through the Wild Horse Plain, the mouth of the Siti Wetland, and finally extends south to Kuronze, and then from East Sion Tehaikou flows into the sea

.Because of the flow

Tributary

Therefore, in the Belem River, in the southern rainy season

The rushing river passes through a lot of low isthmus

So the river is very turbulent

You can use the choppy white spray to hit the abrupt rock wall from time to time,

Even in this hot and dry summer

The average depth of the river is less than 6 meters

The average width of the river surface exceeds 100 meters, facing the broad river that is tumbling

General swimming waters and hypothetical pontoons are not realistic

Only solid stone arch

In order to conquer such a rush.

It took 70 years for the Salander to build a famous stone arch on this river

Is the Belem Bridge across the Belem River

It is the crystallization of the wisdom and sweat of the Salander. Built in the narrowest canyon of the river

Total length 140

Across the river as wide as 120 meters

The seven huge bridge piers used nearly 400 tons of huge stones, which has a calendar of 130 years

It can be said to have gone through rain and snow

Years of destruction. Still as strong as

The tumbling river below is not surging

There was a majestic boom.

The Belem Bridge is an important hub connecting the central and northwestern mountains of Salander

It is the route from the Sarande inland Kyoto to the wild mountain valley in the western mountains

This is now a defense of the Northern Army of the Sarande. At the beginning, the North Army went south all the way, reaching the outskirts of Sarande Kyoto. The role of this Belin Bridge in the middle section is very general.

The bridge guard is only one or two hundred

It was only responsible for daily patrol and inspection. Until the end of last year, there was only a squadron added. This squadron was affiliated with the northern leader and was an army commanded by Nilai. Such an important strategic place, naturally the fat man could not let him Fall into the hands of incompetent southern nobles

As Nilai evacuated from the front line of the Civil War with the true North Army, the Belem Bridge became the boundary between the North and the Central, and the hoarding force at the bridge entrance gradually increased to 12,000, almost accounting for Ni One third of Lai's army,

The commander is an old general named Tedsch, originally a city guard of Lhasa. Because this new squadron is mainly composed of Lhasa, he naturally becomes the highest commander.

Tedsch is an old man close to sixty years old.

It's quite like the old Mamunuk

But his fate was very bad. As a veteran Mamunuk, when the coach Duke of Lhasa died, he had to withdraw the remnant army to Lhasa, which seriously affected his reputation.

If it wasn’t for Nilai’s partial favor when he served as the city’s master, he had already been asked to be executed by the nobles in the city. As the northern leader rises from Salander, the old Mamunuk seems to have found a young feeling again

Every morning

The troops stationed on the Belem Bridge need to check a large number of passing people and horses

They basically evacuated to the north from several nearby fighting areas, most of them were the soldiers of the original northern army who fled,

Because of the lack of unified leadership and the power and rivalry of the southern nobles, although they have an army of about 60,000, they can't compete with the Saranda Kyoto Army, which has only 30,000 people.

The situation from the Kyoto side is unremarkable. For example, the same noble southern aristocracy was beaten by the Kyoto army, and their armour was thrown away. This has led to more and more

The situation in nearby Monza, Tokadi and other regions has also become increasingly tense, which indirectly also affected the atmosphere of Belem

It is reported that the main force of Kyoto is entrenched in the nearby Mongo, Tokadi and other regions, and is rushing to attack the last nest of the southern nobles, Mondade, which means that the Kyoto army is about to obtain The noble's victory may be launched towards the Belem Bridge at any time

Ted's nerves began to tighten suddenly, in these few days

The continually defeated southern nobles withdrew people from the nearby area. When passing the Belem Bridge, they had to hand over the weapons according to the regulations and expressed their willingness to become a member of the northern territory. This is Nilai’s Noble decay rules

But most of the broken troops were often beaten by the Kyoto Army when they ran to the Belem Bridge

Not to mention weapons, even armor and flags have been discarded,

Many squadrons were broken up in the battle

Dozens of soldiers walking together are often from different regions

It is very difficult to distinguish.

Ground bridge head at Belem Bridge

Posts filled with relevant contacts and assembly points

Breeze One

From time to time, there are sticky announcements that have been scraped into the Peleng River running under the bridge. There are also a lot of people gathering at the bridge head every day to see the announcement.

At the beginning, Tedsch also asked them about the battle ahead

Learned that they were attacked by a group of Kyoto Mamunuk Knights

So the troops were beaten very well

But Mamunuk cavalry is still far from here

It is unreachable in a short time. Those defeated soldiers are envious of the garrison troops of Belleng Bridge. These are dressed in excellent armor, and the warriors with high fighting spirit make them feel very ashamed.

After all, they used to belong to the same army, enjoying the same glorious name "Northern Army"

Many soldiers have heard about the fact that the southern nobles surrendered the Grand Duke Nilai at that time, but did not expect so many at that time. They only thought that the adults of the southern nobles could always put forward the idea of ​​catering to revenge, so they have always claimed to be right The Grand Duke Nilai, who kept restraint in Kyoto, was very different.

At that time, the Northern Army was strong, and 100,000 troops broke through the city of Lai Ming, a major town outside of Kyoto. The city of Saletke, known as the gateway to Kyoto, could not breathe. It was Saran Kyoto, which was so in front of such a strong army. Vulnerable

By convention, the Sarande Kyoto, which has fallen into the Jedi, should soon be defeated by the northern army in this siege war,

But no one thought that it was only half a year, and the whole situation had a major reversal. The slogans of the adults from the south shouted loudly, killing the Kyoto people, and launching the holy war of recovery. But on the battlefield, it was a group of straw bales. The previously despised Kyoto army was defeated, and there were even cases of attacking allies blocking the road to escape.

Tedsch has heard all these things

For such defeated ground soldiers, I was too lazy to inquire about the battle situation in the front, but secretly added the manpower and number of inspections, and established a row of wooden watchtowers on the rock walls on both sides of the Belem Bridge, always paying attention to the vicinity of the bridge. Dongjin

.As the Kyoto Army has signs of attacking the northern plains at any time. The importance of the Belem Bridge is immediately revealed, and the situation is getting tighter.

The strength that Ted Shi can mobilize is still weaker than that of the 30,000 Kyoto troops on the opposite side. The report requesting reinforcements has been submitted, but there is no reply from the female Grand Duke Nilai sitting in the Vic collar.

In fact, Ted Shiyue now removes the 10,000 troops defending the northwestern mountains and the 10,000 troops sticking to the Kronze, the female Grand Duke Nilai has very few troops that can be mobilized, and 12,000 people have been allocated. Already the limit of the Northern Territory

This

Tedsch at noon

But the weather is very

Sleepy

I couldn’t sleep, grabbed a bottle of wine at the head of the bed.

This is his old habit

His men are also accustomed to

But the southern nobles who had just retreated from the front line were very surprised.

In their minds, the army in the northern region seems to be very strictly managed. If there is drinking before the war, it is likely to be severely lashed.

Tedsch ignores the contempt of those remnants.

Continue to perform his duties there

That is the subordinates who are watching from a distance to check others.

It's actually flushed

I can't see the details at all. I just vaguely saw many figures dangling

All looked downcast.

He saw another defeated army

Is taking the lead to accept the inquiry of the bridge guard.

Tedsch placed the bottle in his hand on a rock on the side of the road, which was the worst part of the ground he saw in the past few days

Maybe it has withstood the heavy weight of cavalry

These defeated soldiers all wrapped their brains in white cloth

There were blood stains on the white cloth. They also dragged a few worn horses

The injured taxi was also lying on the carriage

The whole body was covered with dense bandages like a mummy.

Also bruised all over

There is blood all over the body

It looks particularly shocking.

Tedsch is not a commander who has not been on the battlefield. In fact, as a senior Mamunuk, the taste of battlefield and blood is very familiar.

I'm used to being wounded and dead

Can't help but admire this group of injured soldiers

Being able to survive the impact of the group cavalry is enough to show their luck, but the opponent’s injury makes him feel a little confused,

So many wounded taxis

I didn't break my hands or legs

Only a few lame people need to walk on crutches

They are also lucky. In this era, the most feared thing is the disabled

Broken one arm or one

Life in the second half of life is a problem.

"You are from that army," Tedsch walked sideways and waved his hand to stop a squadron leader who was about to release,

The pale-faced commander opposite looked at Ted Shi in doubt, and hesitated for a moment before bending down to salute, his earth god

It seems that Ted Shidi's appearance is a bit surprising.

fact

Come up with Tedsch

There is also a team of well-equipped cavalry, not many people, all of them, holding shields and sharp knight swords in their hands, with the iconic red tassel of the Mamunuk knight on their head, they are Tedsch Of the guard,

These Mamunuks riding on horses are surrounded by a half arc, and the leader is also a young and energetic person. A pair of gleaming eyes were murderous. His name was Ted Reesa.

"Report the lord, we are the third squadron of Lord Slick Su's army," the leader of this group of defeated soldiers is a thin and thin guy. It is only about twenty-five six

Whole body

Basically, there is no square without scars. But the blood on the face is very heavy, people have to wonder if it is broken by someone.

His gaze looked at the cavalry around him, and his voice seemed unnatural. "We were hit by the Mamunuk knight in the battle, and the entire army was left with us, because we did not want to fight. There are droughts everywhere now, and even eating is a problem. I heard that as long as they are willing to attach to the Northern Territory, they can get food, so they decided to come to the Northern Territory together."

"Really? That's really weird," Tedsch looked up and down, drunk and confused, with a mysterious smile in his mouth.

"I heard that the cavalry of the Kyoto Army consisted of real Mamunuk knights, not the pseudo-Mamunuks who had previously indiscriminately charged,

The number of people has also been reduced from the previous bloated more than 7,000 to only more than 3,000, but the combat effectiveness is more powerful. It is the sharpest sword of the Sarande Kyoto Army. I heard that they often face tens of thousands of people. The enemy is still daring to launch a decisive charge. Most of the defeats of the southern nobles in several battles were caused by the strong impact of these Mamunuk knights, which eventually led to the collapse of the flanks.

I’ve been guarding here for so long, and it’s not the first time that I saw the infantry who encountered the Mamunuk Knights in such an intact condition.”

"Adult, you misunderstood." Hearing Tedsch's question, the young officer's face was relieved. "We were attacked by Mamunuk, but those Mamunuks were anxious to chase after the fleeing adults." , So it just forcibly passed by among us. Some people with broken hands and feet died on the road because they did not receive treatment. Those who can survive are us."

"Hey, these are poor people." Ted Shih showed a drunken look, his feet staggered and could not help but stagger, his body fell forward,

"Adult, you need to pay attention." The young officer quickly held Tedsch's hand. The rough spiral in the center of the palm and the strong grasping force made Tedsch's eyebrows frown slightly. Taking a breath, a slight **** smell drifted into the nose from the young officer's clothes,

"Thank you, when you are old, if you don't help me, I'll lose my face." Tedsch climbed awkwardly and patted the dirt on his body with his hand.

Taking the opportunity of turning around, the corners of my eyes pass by and see those defeated soldiers seem to be quietly moving

The location is also a bit weird

They are almost less than 10 meters away from the soldiers at the bridge entrance. What about the dozen injured soldiers who are always placed under the thatch of the carriage?

"Thank you young man, your name?" Ted Shi endured the horror in his heart and patted the shoulder of the young officer hard. The position of the opponent's shoulder appeared a little sturdy bulge, confirming the conjecture in his heart. Mamnuk Knight wears heavy armor straps all year round to leave the descendant disease,

"Hersgen" said the tall and thin young officer very cautiously.

"Let them, there are some pitiful people." Tedsch waved to nearby soldiers who patrolled, and gave a very loud hiccup. Shake left the bridge.

He stumbled into a nearby arrow tower, seemingly casual

But suddenly

Ted Shi picked up the weapon leaning against the wall like a rabbit

At the same time roaring loudly to prepare for battle

They are faked by the Kyoto Army"

The atmosphere above the bridge seemed to be suddenly condensed.

The soldiers guarding the bridge

They haven’t had time to respond. There are even people who don’t even refer to the “them” Tedsch,

Two soldiers near the bridge of "Poo" are still stunned.

I was cut by a short dagger that suddenly appeared in the hands of a young officer

Then fell down without saying a word

Eyes wide open

Seemed to die without understanding.

The shouts of "enemy attack" wave one after another on the bridge,

Hundreds of soldiers with long rifles quickly rushed out of the barracks on the bridges closest to each side, "killing" sharp infantry lances and Mamunuk knights dressed as wounded soldiers,

Although the number of these Mamunuks is not large, all of them have extraordinary skills. The long sword in their hands brings a pale white gloss, and they collide with the lances to wipe off a spark, because the bridge is too narrow, hundreds of people The lancemen were stunned by several Mamunuk knights who were blocked from advancing on the Qiaokou.

The "arrowing arrows" row of archers quickly laid out the whole row on the riverside, raised the bow and arrow in his hand and issued a burst of fire. On the head, in the scream, the body rolled from the bridge entrance into the choppy river below,

"Signaling" a tall, thin young officer separated a long spear by a sword, shouting loudly to a frightened wounded soldier behind him, who took a bow and arrow from the thatch of the carriage and quickly pulled Drive into the air and shoot a cluster of arrows with a sharp sound

"Just sniffing from the nose, Lao Tzu and you are all veteran Mamunuk, who invested hundreds of people at a time. Kyoto is really willing to make a **** capital." Ted Shi standing on the arrow tower looked at the tragic scene in front of him, with some emotion. ,

At this time, his face suddenly changed,

A rumbling rolling sound is coming quickly, on the small **** of the bridge opposite the site ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ a black and imposing black line slowly emerged and gradually amplified,

There were thousands of Mamunuk knights in heavy armor, like a huge tumbling iron stream, rushing up from the opposite bridge, the flying horseshoe stepped over the person without any care, and the other hundred. The gunmen who had no time to evacuate hit them together

On the left side of the opposite slope, the Kyoto army mixed with steps and rides continually drove out of the foothill forest on the left side. The rumbling hoof and footsteps sounded through the foothills. Fronts and flying flags are looming in the dust. A crowd of people and horses flooded the high **** in front of the bridge and then slowly slowed down.

"Woo" with the rapid sharp sound coming from the air, countless arrow clusters like the locust swarm rising from the horizon, covering the sky and the blast of the sun,

"You immediately bring the guard to Vick to report to Grand Duke Nilai. The Kyoto army attacked please. Please tell me that Tedsch is a person who should have died long ago. Please also ask her not to be sad." Tedsch deeply He took a breath and took out the report he had already written from his arms and gave it to the captain of the guard behind him, which was his great Tedresa
