Chapter 554
the next day.
When the sky was not yet bright, in front of the big camp, a team of soldiers had already assembled here.
No one trumpets, no one beats the drums.
The soldiers of the Independent Cavalry Regiment got up in the middle of the night. They got out of the tent and wore their armors. They wiped their weapons and shone brightly. The cavalry regiment's auxiliary soldiers also watched silently. They fed the horses and sat in saddles. Go in and scrub clean.
The black cavalry began to gather outside the barracks.
It started in threes and twos, and then more and more people gathered, one team at a time, one battalion at a time.
No one speaks. Everyone, every team comes in the same formation as before, and then joins the army sequence.
This silence is terrible!
It has been said that a silent army is terrible, and it is clear that this is the case now.
Yesterday's demobilization incident deeply imprinted the stigma of shame in the hearts of every cavalry, and each cavalry's face was serious and abnormal.
It was not until the sky was clear that Rheinhardt finally appeared outside the camp. He brought his own guard, and more than a thousand soldiers from the First Corps, and slowly assembled.
Looking at the cavalry brigade already waiting outside the camp, Rheinhardt did not show any expression, but just glanced lightly, then turned his head and whispered a faint officer next to him.
The answer he got was simple: he was demobilized yesterday and none of the cavalry received the severance payment.
On the contrary, the officer responsible for demobilization, afterwards, received what the battalions of the Cavalry Regiment handed in ...
Testament!
A total of three thousand seven hundred and forty-six wills!
Hearing this answer, Reinhardt's brow raised slightly.
Immediately he hurriedly approached the horse, came to the front of the cavalry brigade, sat on the horse, and looked at the dark and silent team in front of him.
After a few moments of silence, Rheinhardt finally spoke.
"Very well, it seems you are at least ashamed. Then use your performance today to prove your courage."
No one from the Cavalry Corps spoke, and even the officers did not say anything.
Rheinhardt ordered immediately, and the cavalry regiment was still in the forefront, slowly heading to the army town of the Nottings that had resisted them for several days.
At this moment, even the lieutenant beside Rheinhardt was puzzled.
I do n’t know what the Lord ’s idea is.
They saw a change in the spirit of the cavalry regiment, a silent but murderous team.
But ever ...
Just go siege? Cavalry siege? That's it. If they are really desperate, everyone will step down and climb the wall to kill, but there is no siege equipment in the team!
Even if the soldiers are willing to desperately, can not run to hit the enemy's walls with their heads?
But Reinhardt looked stunned, and he didn't say a word, and no one dared to ask.
Shrouded in this army was an almost deadly silence, faint, and a bit of a strong flavor.
Many people understand that the soldiers of these cavalry regiments are holding dead spirits!
In this case, even if Rheinhardt actually ordered them to smash the enemy's walls with their heads, these soldiers who had already been dead will be executed without hesitation!
The camp of the Northern Army was not too far from the army town of the Nottings. The cavalry came out, but it was only half an hour before they came to the army of the Nottings.
The dispatch of the Northern Army immediately aroused the vigilance of the Nottings. A warning call was sounded in the city. You can see the Nottingian soldiers nervously ascended the wall and began to line up in preparation for a big battle.
Rheinhardt looked coldly at the small town in front of him. He saw that although the city was small, it was obviously fully prepared before the war. The trenches were dug very wide and deep. Although the walls were not It is tall, but it is very thick and solid. The stones stacked on the head of the city are abundant, and the big iron pots that are lined up in a row are obviously filled with hot oil and the like.
The Nottingians were ready to defend the city.
However, Rheinhardt only sneered when facing such a scene, that's all.
Tegel? Notting Tiger?
Reinhardt snorted slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and finally gave an order.
"The whole army walked around the city, trying to go as close as possible to their bows and arrows!"
This is a very bold move! It can even be said to be crazy!
Such a cavalry, without the shield of heavy armor, was exposed to the air like this, walking around the city. Although he ordered the range of the bow and arrow against the opponent, there is no long range such as a strong crossbow in the city. Weapon.
However, no one in the whole army opposed the order of Rheinhardt. Those silent cavalry regiments even deliberately entered the range of the bows and arrows of the city guards during the march!
Facing the astonished Notting Guards on the city wall, every cavalry cast a vicious look.
This small city is not large, and the cavalry is slowly moving around, but it has already walked more than half a circle in half an hour.
Finally, Rheinhardt issued another order.
He deliberately stopped the team, then gathered hundreds of soldiers, stood far below the city wall, and shouted at the city loudly.
The words of shouts are not words like provocation challenges, but just one sentence!
"Conquer Ant X, and kill the whole city!"
Chi x, a place name, is the capital city of the Notting Hill Military District! It is also where the families of the 8,000 soldiers of the Notting Army live! !!
"Overcome the jump and kill the whole city !!!"
Such a slogan, after screaming dozens of times down the city, Rheinhardt ordered the whole army to line up and re-enter the road, and went around the city without looking back!
The direction they go is the direction of the Notting Military District, the capital city of the Nottings! !!
The army left the city, and the Notting Army in the city finally appeared panic 1uan!
Since the beginning of the war, Tegel has frightened the entire army with a fierce calendar. He has gathered the family members in his own house, let the Allies take care of it, and then threatened the subordinates with the xìng life of the family members. This killed the entire army. With his desperate spirit, he resisted the independent cavalry regiment of the Northern Army.
I have to say that he did it hard enough!
Fiercely he left the Allies to look after his own house! Because he knew that if it was the Notting Army who left the caretaker house, I was afraid that the soldiers left behind might not dare to slaughter the members of his army! For the Allies, they would not have this concern!
But now, Rheinhardt, with his actual actions, gave this fierce Notting Tiger a hard lesson!
Fighting is not enough.
The Notting Army in the city is 1uan!
All of them dared to fight desperately before, because they knew that running away was hopeless, and even if they fled back, it would be the end of the family slaughter! They are desperately here, just to be so alive, that the idea of keeping their families alive even if they die.
But now, Rheinhardt did not attack the city, but he posed a posture of attacking the house, and the Notting Army's heart immediately shook!
The generals in the army clamored for noise and even the officers could not suppress it. Many officers went to see Tegel for an order.
Faced with this situation, Tegel has no better way.
He threatened the army with the xìng life of his family, but the Northern Army also used this method ... "
He was very clear, no matter whether the gesture made by the Northern Army was true or not, even if the enemy was pretending to be a fake, but he had to drill this kit!
Because the heart of the army in the city has been 1uan! If he presses hard again, then I am afraid that these angry soldiers will mutate, and even cut off his own head coach!
There is only one road in front of him, chasing the Northern Army out of the city! Pursuing the Northern Army that intends to attack its old nest!
Even if he knows that the other party intentionally leads himself out of the city, he has no choice.
Rheinhardt, after leaving the city with the team less than ten miles away, ordered the entire army to stop the whole army behind a hillside and prepare for the battle.
The Lei officer around probably understood his intention as a general, but there were still people who were uneasy: What if the Nottings were not fooled and chased out of the city?
Reinhardt just smiled slightly: "He will come."
As it turned out, Rinhart was right.
Just after the cavalry of the Northern Army had lined up their ranks, and after the night battle was set off in the wilderness behind the hillside, the Nottings' chasing team had rushed forward.
When describing a team, the word "aggressive" often has another meaning: hurry.
My heart is too concerned about the family members of the Fucheng city, so although Tegel has repeatedly ordered the army to move steadily after leaving the city, at this time the army's heart has been 1uan, and the Notting Army march is running fast!
After thousands of Nottingian troops have bypassed the hillside in front of them, there is a squadron of silent and terrible Northern Army Independent Cavalry Regiments in front of them ... "... their fate has actually been decided.
At this time, Rheinhardt did not prepare any fancy tactics, what two wings are encircling, what are circuitous, what flanks are wearing cha ... "Nothing like that!
He only used the simplest and most straightforward method: the entire army assault! Nakajima cuts through! !!
Just push it so hard! !!
Rheinhardt rushed to his feet and stood before the army, finally shouting all the silence! !!
"Rhoderia !!! Go forward !!!"
Thousands of horses swept down, like a black cloud over the city! !!
Swords are like forests, rushing! !!

Regarding this night battle, there was hardly any process worth describing. The Notting Army was rushed by the Cavalry of the Northern Army, and it was a blow! They are still desperate, but this time, they can no longer block the iron hoof of the Northern Army!
In the field battle between the two armies, if one side is overrun and the enemy is a cavalry, then the next step is simply a one-sided massacre.
But in half an hour, the battle was over, thousands of Nottings troops were scattered, and they were trampled by the cavalry of the Northern Army. The defeated scattered soldiers fled on all sides, and were chased and killed by countless squadrons. The wilderness was full of wailing and crying voices, and the stern voice filled the wilderness!
The Northern Cavalry who killed the red eyes, even in the face of many Nottings kneeling and crying for surrender, rushed forward without hesitation and split the sword, so the Nottings who were killed after dropping their weapons and giving up resistance were ignored It wasn't until Rheinhardt finally ordered the acceptance of prisoners of war that the killing finally subsided.
The army of the Nottings chasing after the city was overwhelmed. The two banner groups that left the city were 6,000, more than half of them were cut, and more than 2,000 were captured.
And the "Notting Tiger" Tegel, also in the 1uan army, was surrounded by the pursued cavalry and finally had to drop his weapon and surrender. If it was not for the order that Rheinhardt ordered the surrender, 1uan was cut off.
The army of the Nottings was annihilated in the field, and although there were still two thousand defenders in that small city, at this time, it was already powerless to return to heaven.
Tegel was captured, and the defenders in the city faced the northern army in the city of Bī, and soon opened the gate without surrendering to surrender.
Reinhardt then ordered the entire army not to repair, leaving only a few people in charge of the prisoners of war, and with the army, they could go west towards the Nottings' capital city.
Xia did not go with the army.
This is his agreement with Reinhardt.
To halt the battle of Notting, it must be done by the independent cavalry regiment alone! This is a necessary baptism to reshape the soul of this army!
Even if there is a loss, even if it is clear that if Xia joins the battle, the battle will be easier, but ... "... Rheinhardt's reason was more accepted by Xia.
Sometimes baptism with blood is essential.

It turns out that Rinhardt is also a ruthless man! He was even harder than that Tegel. Moreover, his sentence was fully proved: to fight a war, you don't have to be fierce enough.
He Rheinhardt, do more!
The independent cavalry regiments attacked Notting House, the army crushed the city, and the garrison in the city of Notting House were all reinforcements sent by Salvador from the Rodria Military District. The northern army defenders facing the siege immediately understood that: The army was obviously dead.
Reinhardt is smarter than Tegel.
He accompanied the army with dozens of Nottingian prisoners of war, including that of Tegel. He first released dozens of Nottingian prisoners of war and let them flee back to the city. The news of Jin Jun's annihilation was sent back.
Immediately after the prisoners of war had entered the city, he slowly brought the cavalry up and set out the array outside the city.
In the end, he sent someone to push Tegel, who was **** with flowers, to the front.
The garrison in the city, if there was any doubt before, then when they saw Tegel **** in front of them, they finally confirmed the news of the destruction of the Notting Army!
What's even more funny is that in order to make the city look more real, Rheinhardt also did a very interesting thing. He made people clean Tegel covered with blood beforehand.
His approach to defending the garrison was, after many years, cited by the Imperial Academy as a case study, but received mixed reviews by Fitch.
Some people say that he is decisive, some people say that he is smart and cunning, and more people say that he is crippled ...
Reinhardt said to those around him at the time:
"This is a Notting's house, but the defenders in the city are not Nottings, but reinforcements sent by El Salvador. They are guest forces. The identity of the visiting forces is destined that they will not serve the Nottings city. Keep yourselves here! This is not their home or their city. They will not fight to protect others' cities. "
There is no doubt that Rheinhardt's judgment has been confirmed again!
The garrison in the city unceremoniously made such a move: ordered the recruitment of young and strong civilians in the city to go up to the city to cooperate and defend the city.
Anyway, this is not their home. The residents in the city will not care about their lives. No matter how many people die, it is only cannon fodder. They will not feel bad and can reduce their own injuries.
Under the pressure of the sword, a large number of young people in the city lost their lives and civilians, and bī went up to the city to serve as cannon fodder.
Then Rheinhardt made a second move.
He sent hundreds of people to speak outside the city!
The general who was later evaluated as cruel by his descendants made this declaration to the city:
Anyone who helps the defenders to cooperate and defend the city, the Northern Army will kill their family members one by one. This threat is very effective! Because don't forget, the Northern Army holds two thousand Nottingian prisoners of war! And these Nottingian prisoners of war, their families are all in Notting City! !!
On the contrary, if the whole family is slammed, they will be acquitted, and the prisoners of war will be released!
The announcement of such a threat quickly got a huge effect!
The Zhuang people who had been driven to the city walls to help defend the city quickly lost their instability and even mutiny! Many people put down their weapons and cried and refused to fight, and even some people directly took up their weapons and confronted the city defenders.
Faced with this situation, the response of the garrison was: Forced squeezing!
Anyway, this is not their own city, anyway, these people are not their own people. They dare to kill!
This move was exactly what Rheinhardt wanted.
In this way, before the northern army under the city sent a soldier to attack the city, the city had already killed itself first. Those who were unstable, refused to fight, and even tried to pick up weapons and defend the confrontation were almost killed on the spot! There were shouts and wailing voices in and out of the city!
Kill one and there will be a second kill of ten and there will be a hundred!
The 8,000 troops of the Notting Army are all in the city, and this city is only tens of thousands. It can be said that the military occupies more than 70%!
The defenders did get some effects once they started killing, but soon they were there and the scene was out of control.
Kill those who are disobedient and dare to resist. Although the remaining ones remain silent, the kind of look, the kind of hate, the disgust, and even the venomous look make the guards shudder!
Outside the city, the army of the Northern Army overwhelmed the city, but there were tens of thousands of eyes with hatred in the city ... this city could not be kept.
God knows that once the siege battle is fought, will these civilians who are still honest to face their own butcher knifes suddenly make 1uan behind them? Will it suddenly come over and bite yourself?
Tegel threatened the soldiers with the lives of his family members. Now, Rheinhardt threatens the family members in the city with the lives of prisoners of war. Obviously, Rheinhardt has done more, crueler, and more cunning!
After the garrison had made a judgment, it quickly made a decision, and the city had no meaning to keep it.
The garrison abandoned the city.
It must be said that the troops of the Rodria Military Region are indeed much more elite than those of other warlord military regions.
More than 10,000 troops left the city. When retreating, the team was extremely strict and the march was not rushed. Even the troops left behind were all elites.
They promised to leave the city, but Rinhart didn't make an immediate pursuit, but let them go a long way ...
When they were far enough away from the city, Rheinhardt finally laughed when it was possible to escape back to the city.
He knew that the victory of this war had been firmly in his hands.
He pointed at the army that was gone, and then told the soldiers around him that he said only two words.
The first sentence is: catch up, kill them until they are completely destroyed!
The second sentence is the key!
"They belong to El Salvador, they are from the Rodriya Military District. These guys also claim to be Rodrish Army. But today I want you to tell the world with the sword in your hand that there is only one army in the world qualified to use Rodriya. This name, that's us !!! "
The independent cavalry regiment pursues the whole army, and the field raids the Rhoderian army!
Although the Rhoderian army is indeed a strong army, although they are indeed elite, although they were extremely lawful and strict when they withdrew, and the troops after the break also dare to fight ...
However, all of this is nothing more than confirming once again that the Byzantine Empire cannot be subverted: With the complete morale of the Rodrian cavalry army, there is no army in the world, at least in Byzantine. Compete with them!
The cavalry regiment pursued sixty miles, and when it was broken, it broke in one hit! The cavalry then attacked the main army and charged six times.
And in the war in the Notting Military Region, less than a thousand people fled alive with 10,000 reinforcements sent by El Salvador!
Reinhardt became famous in the First World War, and the name spread across the Big 6!
With less than 4,000 cavalry, he first defeated the entire army of the Notting Army, and then 8,000 troops, and then the Notting House, annihilating El Salvador's 10,000 troops! What's even more amazing is that, even with two strong cities, even without even a siege battle! !!
The general made his cunning, cruel, fierce, and incisive use!
And after this battle, the entire Big 6 will know that the Northern Army group, after Xia Leiming and Green, is another outstanding general who has become famous and has officially entered the ranks of famous players!
Later generations also have to acknowledge that, among the two major generals of the Northern Army, Her Majesty King Xia, Green is good at defending, and Rinhart is good at attacking! Reinhardt was also evaluated as having a lion-like heart by future generations, which was later called "Lion Heart Butcher".
Ancient loneliness.
