Sugus is a very tough soldier. In his heart, he will never allow this situation of being passively beaten to continue. Since the Easterners want to fight, they must first eat the enemy soldiers in the valley. Sugus's order was gradually passed on, and the German soldiers gradually found their target. After receiving the order, the two thousand-man troops stationed in the southeast immediately raised their troops and marched along the outer jungle, braving the cold and wet wind. This army of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses is Sugus's biggest weapon. As long as these soldiers and horses successfully reach the rear of the valley road, the Eastern soldiers who attack the valley road will become turtles in the urn, and they will inevitably be annihilated. Varan and Tuskto were the two captains who led this army. They knew the heavy responsibility, so they did not dare to delay at all. From the southeastern station to the back of the valley, there was a mountain road of more than five miles. Five miles of land is not much, but it is a complicated mountain road. Along the mountain forest, the road is bumpy and humid. In the severe winter, the moisture condenses, causing the surface to be very slippery. Many soldiers are not familiar with the conditions here and slip and fall. In the collapsed mountain stream, Valan had no time to feel sad. He had to pass through this mountain road as quickly as possible. The sky was getting darker and darker, and Varan's mood became heavier. Tuskto held on to the boulder next to him with a worried face, his hands filled with coldness, "Valan, there is no way to go forward. It¡¯s dark and windy at night, and it¡¯s really not suitable for walking on such a rugged mountain road. How about we rest for the night and start again tomorrow morning?¡± ¡°No.¡± Valan refused Tuskto¡¯s proposal without even thinking about it. So why should he? I don¡¯t know that the mountain road is difficult to walk and that traveling at night is dangerous, but the military situation is urgent and there is no need to delay. Patting Tuskto on the shoulder, Varan said with a calm and wry smile, "Tuskto, why did Mr. Sugus ask us to take a detour from the mountain road to the back of the valley road? It was just to catch the opponent by surprise and cut off the opponent's retreat. Now the Easterners The soldiers of the first military camp are putting pressure on the valley road. The outer area has been occupied by the Easterners. Lord Sugus will be ready for a large-scale counterattack at any time. Do you think we can waste time? There are still five hours between now and dawn, five. In a matter of hours, anything can happen. If the Easterners sense something and take the initiative to retreat, what's the point of everything we have done before? Therefore, we must go for the sake of those casualties. Go down, even if the road ahead is extremely dangerous." Tuskto sighed secretly and could only shake his head gently. After walking for a long time, the German soldiers were already exhausted. They had to travel at night on such a complicated mountain road. It is impossible for soldiers to have no complaints. A German soldier wears an animal skin hat and is wrapped in thick tattered clothes. Only two eyes are exposed. The weather is really too cold. If possible, he won't even breathe. It's a waste of time. Heat, "What do you think, Master Qian Fu? In this damn weather, you are still traveling like this. The brothers have not climbed the mountain road, so they died in this poor place. They can't even see the road clearly. This is not to kill the brothers." "Isn't it possible that the people next to me don't think so. Most of the German soldiers now think about finding a place to rest, but not many people dare to say what they think. When they see Varan's personal guards coming over, The man quickly touched the person next to him with his shoulder, "Keep your voice down, the military order is as big as a mountain. Let those red cloaks hear it. Do you still want to live?" The red cloaks are actually a collective term. They are the same as the Knights of the Holy Cross. Similarly, they belong to the great eastern nobles headed by the Frederick family. This is a brave infantry. Because the armor is wrapped in thin red silk, it is called the Red Cloak. The red cloaks were close associates of the Frederick family, so they were appointed as personal guards by Sugus, and Varan happened to be Sugus's confidant. When he saw the red cloak approaching, the grumbling German soldier actually shut his mouth. Under the supervision of the battle team, the German infantry trudged through the night. Although they were illuminated by torches, the effect was limited. Many people still fell into the holes. Some of them were seriously injured. Varan directly ordered them to be killed. Now they are marching in a hurry and facing a fierce battle. They have no energy to take care of the seriously injured, so they can only save them from suffering. In this high-pressure state, the German soldiers did not dare to say anything and carried out the orders mechanically. The composition of the infantry of more than 2,000 people is quite complex, including not only members of the eastern nobles, but also members of the southern blacksmith families and Lorraine nobles. Varan had no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures at all times. At this time, he had to be ruthless, otherwise these rebellious soldiers would definitely cause trouble. This road is extremely difficult to walk. In order to complete this mountain road, the Germans paid a price of more than 40 people. You know, this is the result of no one attacking. After passing the mountain road, we reach the northern valley road. To the east of the valley road is a towering birch forest. No one comes to the forest all year round. Thick leaves are piled up in the forest. The moisture erodes and fills the air with a strong musty smell. "Tusk" "Please, after this piece of birch forest is the valley road, we need to be more careful." Tuskto nodded with a heavy expression. He didn't know whether to blame Varan, but looking at it from Varan's perspective, He was not wrong in forcing his army to march at night. But Tusketo always couldn't accept it. He wasA small Lord of the Lorraine vineyards, he was not very interested in the war that took place in the Istrian highlands. But now there was no turning back. When he came to the birch forest, he had to fight even if he didn't want to fight. In many cases, he had to fight. It depends on Varan's face. After all, in today's Holy Empire, the Saxon nobles and the eastern nobles really have the right to speak. The Danube nobles have only risen in recent years. After resting for about two hours, the tired soldiers ate something and then continued through the birch forest. But just as they were about to walk out of the birch forest, an accident happened. The birch forest to the east of the valley road was not unguarded. After the First Army Battalion stormed the valley road, it had already thought about the safety behind the valley road, so it sent a team of 500 people to defend the birch forest. The commander of the capital, Lei Jiang, was personally in charge of this small team. Ever since they were stationed in the birch forest, the forest had been quiet and nothing happened. Lei Jiang did not dare to be too careless and still sent people to search the forest. It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but a patrol unexpectedly discovered traces of the Germans. From then on, a fierce battle involving the life and death of the First Military Camp began in the birch forest. The German soldiers did not expect to encounter the patrol team of the First Military Camp in the birch forest. Their traces were exposed, so they could only speed up their march. Varan showed a ferocious face and shouted in a domineering tone, "Easterners are busy. As we attack the valley road, there will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses stationed in the birch forest. The Germanic men, follow me and rush forward, kill all the Easterners and block the valley road. " Valan is like a furious lion, the Germanic men who are physically and mentally exhausted. The man was inspired and rushed towards the edge of the forest, howling. This piece of birch forest is not big. As soon as the patrol team had a fight, Lei Jiang, who had the rear, got the news. When he heard that a large number of Germans had entered the birch forest, Lei Jiang's heart sank. Lei Jiang is also a fierce man who has worked his way up from the grassroots. Of course he knows the intention of the Germans appearing in the birch forest. If the Germans are allowed to walk out of the birch forest, the future of the thousands of soldiers who stay in the valley and fight will be bleak. . He grabbed the injured patrol soldier and asked eagerly, "How many people are there on the other side?" "I don't know exactly, but judging from the current situation, there are definitely no less than a thousand people." Upon hearing this number, Lei Jiang Just a click, there are more than a thousand people, how can we defend it with the few troops under our command? There is no danger in the White Birch Forest, and there are not enough traps. If the attack is forced on, not many of the men under my command will be able to survive. But Lei Jiang did not dare to retreat, and he could not retreat. If he retreated, the Baihualin soldiers and horses would be saved, but the main army in the valley would be wiped out. Taking a deep breath, Lei Jiang raised the back of his hand and let go. Kissed on the mouth. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination, and he turned to his deputy general Han Panglu and said, "Old Han, you immediately lead a few people to the valley road and tell the commander to withdraw from the battle quickly." Han Panglu said. Lu seemed to feel something. He grabbed Lei Jiang's arm and shook his head heavily, "No, Lei Dutong, it's better for you to go and notify, and the general will lead the people to stay." "Old Han, don't say it, I'm just I am the capital commander, the commander of this army. If I leave, what will these men under my command think? Don't hesitate. If you delay for a moment, you will be in more danger." Lei Jiang pushed Han Bianlu and strode out of the military tent. . The Germans came very quickly, all thanks to Valan's decisiveness. With Valan as the captain leading the way, no one else dared not to rush forward. A large number of Germans rushed towards the temporary station, and there was no way to form a formation in the birch forest. The tight formation could only spread out and fight, which fully demonstrated the Germanic's military superiority. In the blink of an eye, Lei Jiang's troops were entangled with the Germans. Han Panglu gritted his teeth and glanced in the direction of Lei Jiang with his red eyes, then got on his horse and left in a hurry. In the battle in the White Birch Forest, neither side had any skills to speak of. The infantry formation that Ding had always relied on could not be used, and the shields could only resist on a small scale. However, the Germans had a large number of troops and surrounded them directly. Ding's soldiers could only retreat step by step. Hua Xi is a Slavic farmer, and he has only entered Ding for a month. But at this time, he is like a Ding veteran, bravely blocking the attacks of the Germans again and again. The Germans saw Hua Xi's bravery, and a dozen German soldiers roared loudly while eating wooden shields, "Come together, kill this bearded man, and avenge our brothers." For a time, the Germans shared the same hatred. Four heroic German compatriots had died at the hands of this bearded man, so he must pay the price. Hua Xi grabbed a shield and slammed it into the nearest German soldier like a bomb. The German soldier was not prepared in time. His chest was hit several times and several ribs were broken. When the others saw this, they immediately The eyes were about to burst, and they rushed towards Huaxi together, stabbing Huaxi with several broad swords. No matter how powerful Huaxi was, he was still a mortal. His blood was sprinkled on the thick birch leaves, and after just a moment, it turned into ashes in the cold wind. Red crystals. Lei Jiang¡¯s troops were retreating steadily, but the birch forest was so big, where could they retreat to? Behind him was the exit of the birch forest. Lei Jiang had nowhere to retreat. He vomited a mouthful of blood and raised his head.He slowly took off his helmet. His blood-stained hair was frozen stiff, and his mouth opened, revealing an inexplicable desolation. "Brothers, behind us are five thousand comrades. Let's retreat. They are going to die, and if we die, they will live. Tell me, do we want to retreat?¡± The rough and straightforward language has no beauty, but the short sentence is full of emotion and appeal. The soldiers all stared angrily and roared loudly. Some people tore off their hats and wiped blood on their faces, "Never retreat, never retreat. Qin Feng will never retreat, kill." This is Guanzhong. Erlang, these are the people of the Song Dynasty. At this moment, whether they are Guanzhong people or Central Plains people, whether they are Siberians or Slavs, they have truly found a place to belong. They do not have lofty ideals, everything they do is It is to protect the good life of the family. As a person from the Song Dynasty, he had a happy life, with food to eat and clothes to wear, all of which were honors worth protecting. More than two hundred remnant soldiers, fighting one another, formed two lines of defense. Their eyes were full of bloodthirsty madness, and there was a determination that was not afraid of death. The Germans rushed over, but stopped again. In these east Under the gaze of others, they actually felt scared. What a ridiculous idea. Why are you still afraid when you are already about to win? No, this is not surprising at all. People are thoughtful. More German soldiers can't help but think, if they win this time, what about the next time? What about the next time? Can such an opponent really be defeated? You must know that there are nearly 100,000 enemy troops in Kiev and Vladimir. Facing such a powerful opponent, can it really be possible to capture the city of Kiev and occupy the Suzdal River? Varan also showed a look of horror. What kind of enemies are these? At this time, they can still launch a final charge. But Valan will not be afraid. He deeply understands that on the battlefield, whoever is afraid first will become the ghost under the sword. "Germanic warriors, raise the weapons in your hands and put away your mercy." "This is a group of evil pagans, they are the people of Satan, fight hard, the light of God will always shine on us." "Ha" the German soldiers raised their weapons, and their unrestrained shouts seemed to call on God, they believe in God. , faith is glorious, so God¡¯s people will be blessed, and this battle will definitely be won. A strong wind raged, and pieces of dead leaves fell from the branches. Each leaf was like a cold knife, scraping the men's faces. Two desperate torrents collided together, composing a bright red chapter of prosperity. The earth is crying, the fields are sad, where will the lonely soul go? There is no hell, no heaven, because both earth and heaven are prepared for the living. When the determination does not retreat, it is destined to end in a river of blood. When Lei Jiang fell, what he saw was the last scenery, withered birch leaves, gloomy sky, weak sunshine, the fifth winter of Taikang The first snow is coming soon, but he has to go forever. How much I want to see the snow in the Istrian highlands again. The world is covered with white snow. Who will decorate the vast mountains and rivers, and who will write about the former homeland. Life is dying, for life, for family, for freedom, for Guanzhong, for the eternal regent in my heart. In the northern valley of Foyan Mountain, the commander Zheng Changge came to the high slope and personally directed the further offensive and defensive battles. After noon, the Germans seemed to have taken some medicine and resisted very fiercely. The soldiers on both sides launched several rounds of attacks but were all beaten back. At this time, the Germans had launched a full-scale counterattack on the high slopes on both sides. There were also some in the valley. A large number of German cavalry charged and killed. Zheng Changge had a bad feeling in his heart. Are the Germans crazy? As far as I know, the Germans in the entire Foyan Ridge area only have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now the Germans have invested more than 4,000 troops, and the number is still increasing. The purpose of attacking the northern valley was to attract the attention of the Germans, but no one expected that the Germans would be so crazy and tilt almost all their troops to the north. If something happened, a feint attack would probably turn into one. A fight.
