My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 597 Running wildly behind enemy lines
"How did Thalys end up in Analia and Padinya?"

The original early morning attack plan had to be shelved at this time. Galahad joined Saihu who had also received the news and was rushing back. The two sides joined forces in one place, with a total of 12,000 people rushing back and forth from the Padinya Province.

"It's useless to say this now. Drive the Selis cavalry that entered the country out of Padinya as soon as possible, at least before Emperor Sakprut knows about it!"

Galahad listened to Saihu's anxious words and didn't feel much. After all, the life and death of the people here had little to do with him. As one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table, he was known as the Seat of Disaster and was penetrated from behind. , the knight's glory was all lost.

The Padinya mentioned in the mouth is a province located below Analia. The west is like a horse's tail and borders the southwestern part of Euphila in the city of Numa. The whole is like a half-moon shape, with many plains and hills. It is the whole of Sar. Kprüut is one of the places with developed agriculture and is also a province rich in various subtropical fruits.

Just as the two of them were rushing back, behind them, invisible to them, the front of the army was stretching. Countless horseshoes were trampling ferociously on the land of Padinya, like a big river rushing, impacting every inch of the land with crazy and roaring movements, heading towards Nibora, the largest city in Padinya, killed it.

After receiving the news, the Governor of Padinya in the city, Redamir, quickly summoned the army of the Governor's Palace and the nobles in the city to make a blocking gesture.

The first to be dispatched was a cavalry of 500 people temporarily formed by the nobles in the city to check first. If possible, hold back the enemy and wait for the army in the city or the Sakprut army from other directions to come to support.

However, soon after their cavalry passed by, the fighting quickly broke out.

Amidst the shouts of countless people, the galloping war horses brought up long plumes of smoke and dust to the sky. The iron hoofs swirled up the mud and turf, making a roaring sound of the earth shaking.

The horn sounding the order was sounded rapidly, and there was no time to clean up the battlefield. Mongolian and wolf cavalry who were searching for property followed the order and advanced all over the mountains and plains.

They did not receive any reminder from the governor or the nobles in the city, and started their busy day as usual.

Not far away, Lu Bu was stationed on a gentle slope. He looked at the almost one-sided massacre below. There was no expression on his face. After a moment, he turned around and took the reins handed over by his bodyguards. He climbed onto the flying red cloud horse and tugged on the reins. , rushed down.

Without any formation, the Mongolian light cavalry that remained in a wandering state swept over and fired freely on the horseback. After shooting an arrow, they accelerated their speed, allowing the tribesmen running behind to follow closely and shoot a second wave of arrows.

The Padinya cavalry patrolling the border suddenly burst into dense blood.

In the fields at the beginning of spring, farmers can be seen everywhere immersed in the fields, removing insects and grafting in orchards in the mountains.

"Inform the wolf cavalry in front and continue to advance. In addition, I will give the three thousand cavalry commanders to the Mongolian cavalry over there. I will order them to immediately sweep up the front. The more chaotic the better! No matter how the barbarians attack my Daxia baggage, I will pay back a hundred times!"

Under attack from both sides, these five hundred Padinian cavalry were eaten up in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few ownerless horses neighing and wandering among the corpses.

The farmers in the fields or orchards gradually stopped smiling. In the direction they looked, there was a huge cloud of smoke and dust chasing behind these panicked people.

The ground beneath their feet also gradually shook, and there was a rumbling sound in their ears. They knew that it was the huge movement caused by groups of horses running.

In the other direction of them, groups of steppe cavalry wearing fur coats surrounded them, and they also drew their bows and fired at the panicked 500 Padinya cavalry in front.

However, more extremely frightened figures were seen running from the road to the east. Some were running desperately, and some were riding donkeys and running around on the mountain road.

The farmers and peasant women didn't pay much attention, and even made mocking remarks while holding their wooden forks and stroking the fruit trees.

"Safari!"

This is a prosperous inland, densely populated, and directly facing Nibora. There are many villages, towns and trading caravans along the way.

However, to the east of them, huge chaos spread, and occasionally one or two panicked businessmen on horses stumbled past the farmland, or outside the farm or orchard.

A flag with a white dragon pattern on a black background floats high in the air. Surrounding the flag are two thousand Daxia cavalry. They wear light armor and iron helmets on their heads, holding crossbows on their undulating horses. , were clashing with a cavalry force from the province of Padinya.

Ling Qi galloped out.

Countless busy farmers stopped their work and stood blankly in the fields and orchards, watching the cavalry groups that they had never seen before, and the black waves spreading over them.

Densely packed arrows roared across the sky, across people's field of vision, and then fell down with a 'whisping' sound.

They have only one purpose here, which is to completely confuse this barbarian place and kill the people here to the point of breaking their hearts.

The figures running on the road screamed in fear, and the cavalry who was caught up later stretched out the scimitar in their hands and struck the backs of these people. The bodies fell on the hot ground, splashing dust.

There were more pairs of people around, wearing straw sandals or bare feet, running hastily across the gravel and gravel road.

Countless galloping horse hooves chased after them, and the knight on horseback let out a ferocious cry of "Ha!", waving his blade, and drove directly into the crowd.

Then, more cavalry focused on the villages and orchards here, and just like what they did before, they rushed in on horseback.

The farmer with some courage, holding a wooden fork and trying to protect his homeland, was crushed by the attacking cavalry in a blink of an eye and fell into a pool of blood.

Thatched houses were engulfed in fire, and the screams of men and the cries of women instantly mingled in various orchards and villages.

The Mongolian cavalry who were killing here drove these barbarian people into a circle and crowded them together. Children of several years old were scared to death, or they hugged the legs of their relatives and cried in the crowd.

Then, a Mongolian hundred cavalry commander casually waved his hand, and the spinning Mongolian light cavalry began to tighten the circle, lowered their bows and arrows, and pulled out the spears and scimitars hanging on the sides of the horses. The people of Padinya waved wildly, blood exploded and splashed, people's faces were split and fell off, and the women cried loudly and covered the eyes of the children in their arms. At the moment, a spear stabbed from behind and nailed them to the ground. on the ground.

There were also people who resisted and fought with the cavalry with farm tools. In an instant, they were shot in the head by an arrow and fell straight down.

There was also a Western woman who took off her clothes and knelt on the ground, wanting to trade her body for a life. However, the falling blade did not hesitate at all, and chopped off her pretty face.

The woman who had half her face chopped off rolled on the ground and screamed in agony. The white broken bones were exposed from the middle of her face. The ground was covered with blood and seeped into the dry soil.

Soon, the village fled and was slaughtered, leaving only corpses piled on top of each other and burning houses.

Looking down from the sky, along several roads from the east to the west, there are dense smoke pillars rising from the earth. Under the black smoke, there are burning villages, towns and farms, forming a front line towards the most prosperous part of Padinya. The giant city of Nibera stretches past.

During the attack of four thousand string-controlled wolf cavalry and six thousand Mongolian light cavalry, many Padinya troops from various outposts came to reinforce them. Without exception, they were all defeated. These defeated troops immediately retreated, regrouped, and then rushed forward again, only to be defeated again.

For a time, the fleeing people and defeated troops were all mixed together. Under the mad slaughter of Selis cavalry, they fled towards Nibora in the west.

At the same time that the beacon fire was ignited in Padinya, a mountain city in Analia, the province closest to the Central Asian Plateau, had already been captured.

This is a mountainous area, but the mountain town named Gilgewea was suddenly besieged. The cavalry sent out to deliver the order could not go more than three miles before being shot dead.

Surrounding this mountain city are Feiqiang cavalry who are good at mountain warfare. Xiliang, where Ma Chao was at that time, is also mountainous. He has his own method of how to gallop horses on the mountain, and this method is also used by him now. Come and train the cavalry under your command.

After parting ways with Lu Bu, he divided labor and cooperation with Xiang Yu and set his sights on the mountain city closest to them.

Since it was going to cause such a big fuss, it would undoubtedly be frightening to have the Western emperor be so worried and to capture a city.

"A mere isolated city can be destroyed in half a day!"

Early the next morning, a simple ladder for attacking the city was built. Xiang Yu personally led an elite cavalry named "Julu Lie" to act as infantry and climbed to the city to fight.

In less than half a day, Xiang Yu led his army to directly tear through the city wall defense line. The Anarian soldiers in the city launched a street fight under the organization of the officers.

However, as soon as the city gate was opened, a large number of flying Qiang cavalry poured into the streets of the city. They cooperated with Xiang Yu's Julu Lie elite soldiers to break through the stubborn barbarians one by one, and then set fire to the houses, and the whole city was also ablaze. , the city-wide massacre began.

On the city wall, half of Xiang Yu's body was stained with blood. He was holding a city-breaking halberd and looking at this exotic city, which was reduced to rubble in the fire. He smiled at Ma Chao who led his troops up, and waved his city-breaking halberd and pointed at Geng. Far to the west: "Let the men save their strength, there are still several cities to slaughter behind."

The news that Padinya and Analia were attacked one after another has been frantically sent to Euphila in the north, and has also spread crazily in various city-states on the way.
In the morning of late March, the knights carrying urgent information rushed into the city of Nongma, an important town on the front line of Europe and Africa.

At this time, because Emperor Sakprut issued an edict to assemble here, armies from various provinces were still arriving in a steady stream.

The generals gathered, and naturally there were constant banquets. Sakprut, who was dressed in fine clothes, was sitting on the high terrace, accepting the audience of the generals below.

During the whole process, he was also talking to the people below.

"The East and the West are both young empires, each with their own ideas and ferocity. If I don't send troops to attack them, they will find an excuse to kill them in the future. What you see now is their excuse... But now, Since they are here and killing wantonly on our land, the Samo people have crawled from our feet to theirs. This is an insult to us and a shame to us!”

Wearing a golden crown, Sakprut stood up from the velvet chair and solemnly glanced at the figures sitting below who were looking at him similarly. "Selis is very powerful, and they also have many invincibles." General, but in my eyes, no matter how strong the wall is, it will eventually collapse one day, not to mention they are still on the ground we are familiar with..."

"Your Majesty, Analia has been invaded!"

Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted the emperor's words. Sakprut turned his head and looked. The generals below also stood up and looked over there.

A war horse broke out of the square, and the shouting soldier, stained with blood, looked awkward in this peaceful atmosphere.

He rushed into the banquet in the square with a letter asking for help from the governor of Analia, and passed the letter through many hands before finally falling into Sakprut's hands.

After reading the contents of the letter, his hands holding the letter shook slightly.

"Geraint died in battle..." Sakprout gritted his teeth. The sunny knight died just like that.

Analia and Padinya were actually penetrated by the Seris.

However, before he could recover, another horse rushed over. This was a letter for help from Padinya, which came a little later because it was below Analia.

Among the generals present, there were twelve Knights of the Round Table. After learning that Geraint had died in battle, all of them had angry looks on their faces. As soon as this letter from the Province of Padinya was handed over, they intercepted it and opened the letter to read. Take a look at the above content.

The banquet fell into dead silence, and then it exploded like boiling oil poured into cold water.

On March 21st, a hundred miles northeast of Padinya, the Selesian cavalry appeared. The border defenders were defeated, the five hundred noble cavalry were routed, and the Selesian front spread westward.

On March 25, the reinforcements from each city fought with the Selesian cavalry and were defeated.

On March 27, seventy-five miles east of Nibera, Selis's cavalry appeared. All villages, towns, farms, and orchards were destroyed along the way. About 50,000 people fled, and it is difficult to estimate the number of people who were massacred.

Combining it with the intelligence sent by Analia before, Sakprut knew that the emperor in the East sent two cavalry to cause chaos in his two provinces at the same time.

Meanwhile, Gilgeousia was massacred.

This is the first time in several years that the Sakprut Empire has suffered such a horrific military attack.

The atmosphere of heaven and earth became ominous.

The urgent battle reports sent from the two provinces were gathered together, and all the Western generals attending the banquet suddenly made an incredible noise.

Sakprut sat on the chair, leaned back, and looked calmly down.

“The words of the prophet Moses came true.”

"Your Majesty, the emperor of Selis suddenly sent troops to attack Analia and Padinya. Is there any other conspiracy?"

The young knight Gawain who spoke, Sakprut looked down for a while, smiled and shook his head.

"No...he is taking revenge on me and showing his methods!"
