.Chapter 668: The East Wind Break

After all, it is not in line with the weather. The snow is tighter in the second half of the night and stops completely at dawn. { Hand, hit it, first. } And the weather is very good, and the sun quickly turns silver-covered into a mottled and broken picture, and it can only stretch to the green sky to make this picture look more hopeful.

Unfortunately, this expectation cannot erase the Xiaosha around Donetsk. The attack of the light cavalry of the Yuan Empire ended at dawn, and Liu Meng could not order the exhausted soldiers to pursue him. When the sound of gunfire completely stopped, the soldiers who were still in a state of depression and excitement looked around in a daze, as if the hunluàn and snow huā last night were dreams.

Jurgen had joined forces with Alfonso and sent troops to him to build a liaison point, forming a tight spinning line covering the west and south of the city. According to his orders, after another morning of busyness, the camps set up a large number of obstacles such as horses and trenches to form a complete defense system, which was to prepare to prevent the other party from attacking again at night. However, the detailed statistics of casualties were counted, and he was so depressed that he wanted to kill people.

There were less than a thousand casualties, and more than four thousand were injured, half of which were limb injuries and serious poisoning. They could only send troops to send them back to Carl Fort, which was equivalent to losing nearly 10,000 troops overnight. However, the other party could confirm that there were less than a thousand casualties.

"Your Majesty, the light cavalry of the Yuan Empire is stationed in a small city ten miles southeast, with a force of no more than 5,000. There are a large number of fortified villages and towns between Donetsk and the small town, so our cavalry is not easy to attack smoothly." In the newly established command center of the town, Liu Mang and Alfonso had no discussions, but arrived at dawn. Jurgen, who had been in charge of the situation statistics outside, came in and said.

Seeing that he did not respond immediately, Alfonso tentatively said: "Last night, the troops sent out very quickly in Donetsk's city. He cooperated well with the Yuan Empire cavalry surprises who arrived. He should have been prepared. Their east and north cities were not blocked. I personally think that they wanted to rely on Donetsk and slowly consume our strength."

He concluded the attack last night. After hearing what Alfonso said, I really don’t know whether to be ashamed or helpless.

Alfonso quickly saw that his expression was wrong, and then comforted: "Of course, the other party also made a mistake. Judging from the situation here and the recent intelligence, this city provides a large amount of military supplies for the Golden Horde. Your Majesty's attack will definitely reduce a lot of pressure on the direction of the Caucasus. Moreover, we have the advantage of our troops. As long as we attack safely, victory will definitely belong to us. What we are worried about..."

"The other party will turn around and fight me with all their might, right? It doesn't matter, I don't have to conquer this city. Depending on the situation, we can choose to retreat to the Dibernie River defense line."

His words were not against his will, and Alfonso was afraid that he would be angry and would fight to the death with the other party. He was relieved to hear this, nodded and continued, "Our artillery does not have an advantage. Is Your Majesty going to attack the city on a tunnel?"

"Yes, but there is no need to worry. Strengthen the reconnaissance of the north to prevent them from sneaking into the Zaboroze Castle and other places. Our focus here is to ensure supply. The Ross and my guards patrol the road to Karl Fort. In addition, the skeleton cavalry chou came out to two corpses, and all supplies were carried by captured Tatar horses, and they attacked in the direction of Azov. When they encountered the opponent's army intercepted, they would withdraw immediately and not care about the horses. When they encountered towns, they would not harm civilians, but all facilities related to workshops were destroyed..."

Since I was interested in letting me come here, let's play slowly. Anyway, I was not fighting on my own territory. I communicated with Alfonso and others, and his confidence quickly recovered, and last night's frustration became the driving force for combat. As the commander, his emotions had a greater impact on the generals. Everyone was soon in a high mood and expressed their opinions on their respective responsibilities and details of their actions.

But after a while, starting with Alfonso, everyone slowly stopped talking. He quickly understood everyone's intentions, smiled helplessly, and returned to the courtyard where Dajeana lived.

After a night of trouble, the courtyard returned to tranquility. Occasionally, shinv and shi came in and out, which added a sense of comfort. Barra was still dressed in the same outfit, silently standing at the entrance of Dajeona's room, and there was no reaction when he saw him. When he approached, Petra and Isabella met with each other. Seeing that the expressions of the two were not abnormal, he also let go of his heart and stopped silently.

Isabella was still afraid of Bala, looked timidly, and then walked up to him and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the situation of the nv Duke has improved. But, well, it is better to return to Monia or New Roman cultivation..."

Looking at the bandage on her head and her pale and tired little face, Liu Meng felt uncomfortable. Dajiena's condition worsened last night and everyone was helpless. She mustered up the courage to treat her and took care of her until now. But she is good or evil, who is the so-called master? The non-violent and uncooperative attitude makes the doubts in his heart unable to be resolved.

Looking inward through the curtain, seeing that Dajeana seemed to be sleeping soundly, he was not in a hurry to go in and ask casually: "What is that?"

"Wuhou Zhenjun San..." He said the name in a strange Chinese pronunciation. Isabella took out some yào particles wrapped in a towel and presented them to him carefully.

He picked up one and looked at it. The black sèyào particles with a big thumb tip had a mint smell. Before he could ask, Isabella continued to explain: "The soldiers of the Yuan Empire will carry this. It was promoted by my master. It can detoxify and treat diseases such as unclean food, drinking, and hot weather. Although it cannot relieve the poison called aconitum, it can relieve it..."

Wuhou marches and scattered... His pale and scattered memories rippled again, but all they brought was bitterness. The army at that time had a complete medical and prevention system, and at least the soul was born from that land. But I didn't know what I was doing over the years. Could it be that he really became Henry of Germany?

"The Yuan Empire..." Hu Siluàn thought, and asked casually, but he unconsciously wanted to be related to military affairs. He felt that it was inappropriate and did not ask.

Isabella understood what he wanted to ask, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I have been with my master for less than a year, and I know very little..."

He shook his head and walked into the room. Dajeona had woken up and lay quietly. She looked so weak that her heart trembled, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth and her eyes were indescribable tenderness and pity.

Sitting beside her, Liu Meng gently scrutinized her hair on her forehead for a while, and was about to speak, but she rushed to say, "Henry, I know what you are going to say."

She frowned slightly, adjusted her breathing, and then continued: "I have never met Bala's master, and I don't know how she knows you, but I believe she loves you and is willing to give everything for you. Bala told me about her warnings to you, I don't know whether it is right or wrong, but I have a feeling that you should listen to her. Dongfang is too mysterious, and many things are not something we can imagine..."

"I know, I won't take risks with you."

Seeing that her face began to turn green, Liu Mang quickly comforted her and unconsciously used French language. Dajeana seemed very pleased with this, pursed her lips and smiled, and closed her eyes comfortably. He stopped talking, and after walking a few steps, the sound of light and slightly rushing footsteps came from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Agnes. She seemed very hesitant, and looked around unconsciously before whispering: "Your Majesty, you should listen to the advice of the Duke of NV. I..., well..., the Tatars also have contacts with France and the Northern Alliance. They provided some design patterns for weapons, which have been used in Afiligar. I think the purpose is to restrain the power of Germany..."

The advice would be boring. Although he felt that Agnes was also hoping for his own success from the bottom of his heart, he still nodded with a smile and turned around and left.

Before he could walk out of the town, a Shiqiu rode his horse and said anxiously before he could even get off: "Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Yuan Empire attacked the camp in the north, with three thousand people, and there were signs of fighting in the city. The marshal and the deputy marshal had rushed over."

Crazy, right? Do you really think that these 60,000 guards are useless? Liu Meng felt incredible and angry, and waved to Shi to pull a horse and get off.

But three or four kilometers away, when he arrived ahead, the two sides had not yet started a war. The width of the position deployed by Alfonso based on the camp was nearly three kilometers, which exceeded the length of the west city wall, and was about the same depth, and was nearly three kilometers away from the city. The front edge was composed of two large corpses of Iron Cross Guards infantry, with two corpses in each position, about one hundred meters apart. Five thousand skeleton cavalry and Ross Javelin cavalry were deployed on both wings and rear, and artillery was all placed on the periphery, mainly on the front.

The positions of 30,000 people were almost boundless, and the villages and woodlands gave people the feeling that the entire land was filled with soldiers. The horses, trenches, barriers, and tents were slightly luàn due to the terrain. The huge scene was enough to suffocate. He came from the south and arrived at the right wing of the army. Seeing Gasek leading two thousand skeleton cavalry waiting silently, he did not continue to move forward. Seeing him coming, Gasek didn't say much and pointed forward.

The Golden Horde team had lined up under the city, with 5,000 infantry in the center, and two thousand cavalry on both wings. One side of the flags blew with the wind, like a narrow and dense forest. Because of the background of the city wall, it looked comparable to this one. The cavalry of the Yuan Empire was in the north of the city and he could not see clearly.

Do you really think that my 60,000 guards are lambs to be slaughtered? Looking at the scene where the other party was ready to go, he was incredible, but incredible. He shook his head and ordered: "There are two marshals here to transfer all the guards and guards, and I will command the battle by myself. Manfred then began to attack the city, two thousand skeleton cavalry defended, and three thousand detoured eastwards, cutting off the contact between the Yuan Empire cavalry and the northeastern garrison and waiting for an opportunity to attack."

This kind of army confrontation scene is nervous in the south. Although he has experienced a lot, he still feels that time passes quickly. First, the scouts of both sides and the cavalry who carried out the tentative mission circling between the two formations, occasionally entangling for a while. Then, the cavalry on both wings of the troops from the Golden Horde began to press forward, but they were very cautious. When the distance between the two sides was shortened to more than one mile, they wandered. Only a few hundred-man teams were running for the protruding parts in front of this side to test, occasionally stumbled on the bow and shot arrows, while the cavalry of the Yuan Empire in the north of the city was still unmoved. Alfonso's attitude was very consistent with him, and he remained unchanged and the artillery in the front was silent.

After about an hour of tossing, the infantry of the Golden Horde began to press forward. When they came into contact with the rear team of their cavalry, the formation collapsed into a thick rectangle composed of several small formations. Liu Meng was observing and felt that the opponent was mainly the archers, except for the large number of chuáng crossbows on the periphery, and there were no other heavy weapons. He couldn't help but be surprised. Not to mention the front, he added 500 heavy and 2,000 medium-sized cavalrymen who came here, and the total number of cavalry was nearly 5,000. If he attacked their flanks at any cost, it would be difficult for the archers to deal with such a short distance.

The suffocating stagnation did not last long. The cavalry of the Golden Horde suddenly started and divided into eight teams to charge. When the two distances exceeded 400 meters, the light artillery here fired at the same time. The white smoke pillars swept across the open space between the two sides, and immediately peeled off the cavalry that rushed forward. But these guys were not afraid. The teams drew beautiful arcs in front of the position with incredible agility, and feather arrows rushed straight to the artillery position, and about fifty meters in front of the formation burst out smoke, forming a smoke belt that blocked the sight.

Before Liu Meng's mind could turn around, smoke filled the formation of the Golden Horde infantry army, and hundreds of smoke traces rose up and headed straight for the clear sky. When they flew to the front of the position, these things exploded into a ball of white smoke, and then rushed straight into the depth of the position like thunder, bursting dozens of meters above the position. The dust-like white mist slowly fell, covering an area of ​​more than a hundred meters.

The light cavalry of the Golden Horde once again went forward to charge, but the position on this side did not fire a gun and snipe. When they were close to the front of the formation, the archers and crossbowers did not throw shè arrows, and the entire position seemed to be squirming and struggling in the fog.

Seeing the Yuan Empire cavalry gushing out from the edge of the city wall in the north, and the Golden Horde infantry out of the city on this side, Liu Meng jumped straight on his forehead, without thinking, he came out of his sword and shouted: "All..., keep the formation..., charge."
