Warhammer Throne
Chapter 285: , Battle of Hemgart (Part 1)
Kasfan led the army to Doomsday Mountain. This high mountain was called "Doomsday Mountain" on the Bretonian side, and the Empire people across the mountain were more willing to call it "The Heart of Ice and Snow".
Duke Palaon did not stay too much when passing by Uberselek. Instead of trying to attack the town, he took the opportunity to blackmail the Earl of Graf with military supplies and pay in exchange for a promise not to attack the city.
Earl Graf obeyed it obediently, Uberselik had three hundred standing troops, and Earl Graff also had his own private guard. These troops naturally dared not resist against the army of Kasfan over 15,000. And Kasfan did not plan to stay here. After receiving enough military food and gold coins, the army passed by Uberselek and went straight to Hemgart.
Although war has been declared, human beings still abide by the bottom line in each other's civil war. They will not kill captives or civilians, and nobles will be placed under house arrest and wait for ransom.
An army of more than 15,000 people was stationed on the mountainside of Doomsday Hill. Kasfan allowed the knights and soldiers to take time to rest and prepare for the next war.
Emperor Karl Franz was stationed behind the shoal in front of the city of Hemgart with an army of about 20,000 people. The 8,000 Avi army led by Umberto Elector was formed on the flanks of the emperor ’s army. The horns.
There are still more than 4,000 imperial teams left behind in Hemgart. The emperor did not intend to defend the city because it was a civil war.
The two armies began to confront each other while searching for fighters.
In the early morning of February, Ryan and Francois stood on the walls of Hemgart, watching the confronting troops. The fairy champion of the lake fairy whispered: "The emperor team is well-trained and consists of a variety of armies. The morale is high, but the number of knights is small. Even if you count Rick Guards and Umberto ’s guards, the total number of knights is only about 1,200. "
"The size of Kasfan's army is much smaller than the size of the imperial team, but there are more than 2,200 knights. The outcome of this war is not easy to say. The empire has a certain strength advantage. Kasfan has a knight. The advantage of quantity, but sometimes the win and loss is in an instant. "
Francois nodded, and the Duke Winford thought for a while, saying: "Casfann has been in battle for a long time. He knows that if he storms the imperial battle, the knights cannot win. He needs to wait for the opportunity and wait for an imperial team. Chance to expose your weaknesses. "
"Exposing weaknesses ..." Gerold looked at the confronting army and frowned. "Casfann's army fought in the empire and was an expedition. He had no capital to drag the Emperor Franz. The Emperor Franz only Tighten the camp, Casfann has no chance of winning. "
"No, you are wrong, Gerald." Ryan shook his head: "Your Majesty Karl-Franz understands that this war is not as simple as it seems. Gerald, you are only military, but Karl He understands more. He is not only an excellent general, he is also an excellent politician. "
"Yes, the emperor may be able to rely on the dead guard to win, but this is not what he wants." Francois nodded and smiled, he was satisfied with Ryan's political wisdom: "So many of us are watching here."
Jerrod's cold face flashed some enlightenment: "It turns out so."
War has never been simple.
…………
In the former camp of the imperial team of Helmgart, the emperor and his general Kurt Heilberg, Ludwig Schwartzhammer, the Tuscan elector Humberto and others Looking at the battlefield sand table.
Big Alchemist Baier Shaze-Galter was also present, but the great alchemist who had many ideas in the past lacked interest in this human civil war and stood next to him without saying a word.
In front of the city of Hemgart, there are red flags symbolizing the army of Rick and yellow flags of the army of Ivy. Across the shoals and a narrow plain, a blue flag is inserted on the mountainside of Doomsday Mountain.
"Casfann stationed his army halfway up the mountain, where there was ample water and steep terrain." Heilberg pointed his finger where the blue flag was: "If we attacked his camp directly, Then a large group of knights will directly charge our army formation from the hillside. It is difficult for us to resist this level of charge. "
The generals nodded, and the power of the Knights of Brittany charged. The Empire knew very well that when these knights charged with the name of the goddess, any enemies blocking them in front of them would be crushed. Debris.
"We don't have as many knights as Kasfan, and our active offensive must be defeated." Karl Franz, dressed in a uniform, shook his head: "Our artillery can cover our charge, but Kasfan's The army has about fifty Tianma knights, and they will definitely look for opportunities to impact our artillery positions. "
"The casualties will be very heavy when we fight against us head-on. This is a civil war between human beings. We can't fight like this. The lesson of the blood of the Three Emperors is in sight, but we can't do anything. The enemies of the imperial authority must be defeated and completely defeated. "Karl Franz said calmly that the young emperor knew very clearly that he and his army could not stand still. Under the eyes of all, he must fight Beautiful victory.
"In fact, there is one of the easiest ways to win, Carl Franz, that is the championship matchup. If you come to the front of the lineup and send an invitation to Kasfan to the championship matchup, then he cannot refuse." Weng Emperor Beto suddenly said that he had a look at the rune teeth around the emperor's waist and the warhammer Gail Maraz in his hand.
"No, Kasfan has a good reason not to agree." Karl Franz shook his head and the emperor smiled bitterly: "The knight across the mountain won't believe us anymore."
He was talking about an incident that happened on the "Courona Road" not long ago, from the border friction between the Empire and Brittania, the imperial generals Heilberg and Brittany, who faced each other in the swamp Marshal Roland was suffering from repeated sawing and small-scale conflicts, so Brittany proposed to win by winning the matchup.
Heilberg agreed.
Heilberg is the strongest swordsman in the Rick Guards. He has no doubt that he has amazing strength and superb swordsmanship, but Britannia has sent a Holy Grail knight, Baron de Alberken .
Needless to say, the power of the Holy Grail Knight, Heilberg found that he could not defeat the powerful Holy Grail Knight after all his life, and he readily confessed. When he saw his confession, Baron de Alberken also said that Heilberg was a The Warrior, if it is not compelled, he will not duel with Count Haier.
Heilberg agreed with the baron's point of view, he stepped back a distance in the doubtful eyes of the Holy Grail Knight.
Then he ordered the firing.
In the Royal Array, dozens of cannons had been arranged to fire at the Baron De-Albeken at the same time. The Holy Grail Knight was continuously hit by the cannon. While De-Albeken was injured, Heilberg took the opportunity to The Holy Grail Knight beheaded and declared himself the winner.
Baron De-Elbeken cursed Heilberg's despicable untrustworthiness before he died, but Heilberg ignored it. The imperial general's heart only cares about victory and duty, and glory has nothing to do with him.
This incident caused a very fierce diplomatic conflict. After learning the result of this incident, Karl Franz quickly dispatched people and Richard to reconcile the border, and at the same time, Heilberg was immediately transferred back to the cloth. Lenrick, severely reprimanded.
Emperor means that you can use this kind of vicious trick when dealing with chaos, northern barbarians, vampires, and green skin creatures, but it is too much to use such tricks for fellow humans.
Heilberg doesn't care, he only needs to win.
There are different opinions on whether the imperial general is correct or not, but it is certain that the Britons will never easily accept the invitation to the championship duel.
Furthermore, even if the Brittany accepted the invitation to the championship match, the emperor was not sure of winning.
Karl Franz is about thirty-four years old this year. His strength is legendary and intermediate. The emperor himself is very clear that his strength is very strong, mainly because of his good equipment, whether it is a "silver seal" or a "rune tooth" or It is "Gail-Malaz". These are artifacts, and are one of the strongest enchanting artifacts in the old world.
Even so, in the face of the Holy Grail Knight, the emperor can hardly have a certain victory. The Holy Grail Knight is much stronger than the normal person at the same level.
"So, our plan is that I lead about a thousand knights, detouring from the side, attacking the side of Kasfan through the mountain trails behind the Hemgart side." The emperor's finger moved on the war sand table, Bypassing a nearby hill, and then directly point to the flank of Kasfan: "We will spend about two hours to force the march to complete the winding."
"At the same time, His Excellency Umberto led all the infantry and a small number of knights across the shoals, waiting for the fighter. After I led the knights to complete the detour, our two armies launched an attack together. Combat, as long as planned properly, Casfan and his army will be defeated! "
"Prepare for action. In the early morning of tomorrow, I will lead the knight to set off, and I will also ask His Excellency Umberto to lead the army through the shoals, waiting for news of my attack, and then immediately attack the army of Casfan!
"Yes!"
At the same time, halfway up the mountain of Doomsday.
The army of the Principality of Palaon is taking a rest. After a day of rest, Kasfan ’s army gradually recovered from the fatigue of crossing the mountains. Morale has rebounded. A large group of ranger knights are fighting, waiting for a contest with the imperial knights. .
Kingdom knights are different. Most of the main knights of these armies are silent, and the powerful of the empire knows well in their hearts that they know how to face a hard battle.
Castfan was also discussing military matters with his lieutenant general, Earl Carnell.
"The number of empire's troops and the quality of infantry are far superior to ours. If we rush to attack, then the empire's artillery and elite phalanx will cause the knights to suffer heavy losses." Kasfan looked at the map. The Duke after a battle is also troubled by the battle situation: "We have more knights than the imperial team, we need to find fighters."
"The question now is whether Emperor Karl-Franz will defend Hemgart to death?" Earl Carnell raised his worries.
"No." Kasfan closed his eyebrows, but he came to the same point, that is, the imperial team will definitely take the initiative to attack.
So ... how will Karl Franz take the initiative to attack?
Kasfan looked at the map. His army was stationed halfway up the mountain. The imperial team was stationed in the open space in front of the city of Hemgart. The forward of the open space was a shoal, then a narrow plain, and then close to Kas Where Fann ’s Great Camp is.
The Duke knew that he had to take advantage of his number of knights and powerful impact to have a chance to defeat the Imperial Army completely.
"Send Scouts Again!"
"Yes!"
…………
In the early hours of February 2, it was dark.
The Emperor led the Rick Guards and the knights of several Imperial Knights. They would bypass a hill and unexpectedly attack Kasfan from behind his side.
Umberto Elector Hou led all the Imperial infantry, imperial artillery and a small number of imperial knights to begin crossing the shoal.
In the dark, the lighting completely depends on the moonlight. The emperors did not dare to light torches. The army of more than 20,000 people crossed the shoal from the front. Because the weather is cold and the dry season, the process of crossing the shoal is relatively smooth.
"I hope all goes well." Elector Umberto wore the elaborate Mithril plated armor made by the dwarves. He rode on a half-breed elf warhorse. The warhorse wore gorgeous armor. The emperor's own robes were even more The flowers are colorful and the helmets are colorful. He passed the shoal under the protection of the candidate guards. The shoal river can only submerge the horseshoes.
"My lord of elections, why does your majesty let you control the army? I don't think it's better for you to lead the cavaliers in a roundabout way?" Tuscany's guard of elections is also the golden wool led by Ivey The knights of the Knights said so.
The Golden Wool Knights are the most elite troops led by Aiwei. Most of them are selected by the Elector Hou himself. He has been engaged in battle with the Green Leather at the Black Fire Pass for many years and has very rich combat experience.
"Because Karl Franz needs it, he needs enough prestige." Elector Umberto said with a smile: "This new emperor is a talented man, but his current prestige is not enough to support his ambition and Faith, so he must continue to lead the army to win. This can ensure that his policies can continue to be carried out. Compared with those nobles, he is more willing to trust his army and hate him a lot. "
In the early morning hours, the moon stars were sparse, and the gray mountains and the Doomsday Mountains had thick fog up to the area of Hemgart. They could not reach their fingers, and most of the imperial army had already crossed the shoals.
Umberto's electorate felt something was wrong.
Is too quiet.
"My consultant, where is Otto?" The Elector elect shouted behind him.
"I'm here!" A legendary wizard of the Light Department wore a white robe, holding up a staff to catch up from behind.
"Dispel this thick fog! Immediately!"
"Yes!"
Sentence of mantra ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The dense fog that spread over the valleys and plains was dispersed.
The powerful light of exile is illuminating on the plain. It not only disperses the dense fog, but also illuminates the hidden army hidden in the dense fog.
The flags are like forests, the gun array is like rain, more than two thousand Britannia knights are fully armed, and tens of thousands of Britannia infantry regiments have all stood up in array. Their team has been stretched from the mountainside. Not far from the imperial team.
"Okay, that's fine." Armed with a pure-blood elf horse, Kasfan said to a lake **** prophet beside him. The beautiful lake **** prophet nodded and stopped his spellcasting. .
Then the dense fog completely dissipated on the plain.
Casfan has led his main force all down the mountain.
"Oops!" Elector Umberto knew that the plan had failed, and Casfan took the initiative to attack them.
He immediately signaled the Golden Wool Knights to sound the horn, and the Elector Hou pulled out the Elector Hou Sword "Mother of Destruction": "Emperor Team! Focus on me!"
The emperor team hurriedly arrayed, and then quickly concentrated towards the emperor himself.
"Go forward! Brittany knights!" Kasfan raised his lance, and more than two thousand knights also raised their lances in response: "Charge! For ladies !!!"
"For ladies !!!"
Thousands of horses gallop, dirt splashes, and the raging waves of the Brittany knights sweep across the wilderness.
The war is about to happen. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "Warhammer", WeChat pays attention to "reading literature", talk about life, and find friends ~
