Chapter 439: The Old Man The torrent of black cavalry swept down the hillside, and with a thunderous force, it slammed into the endless wave of defeat of the rebels in the wilderness.
This hillside was originally not high, but Char's more than 2,000 cavalry galloped down the hillside, but it seemed to fall from the sky, in this already dim night, it was even more like a divine soldier descending from the sky, the wave of defeat of the rebels had been scattered, where was there still half a point of blocking power Char took the lead, raising the cavalry gun in his hand, and the thousands of iron horsemen behind him followed closely, and crashed into the wave of defeat of the rebels The tiger has entered the flock, and even the appearance of the rebels at this moment is no longer even a flock of sheep, it is simply a group of lost dogs, a group of panicked rabbits.
Char's cavalry, from the rebel defeated left front rushed down, like a sharp knife, from the oblique side directly into the rush into the crowd, Char's hand of the cavalry swept across, instantly brought a red light, snatched the front, flesh and blood flying behind the elite cavalry also one by one like a killing god, under the trampling of iron hooves, almost unobstructed and easily rushed in The killing, this is simply a complete killing The rebels didn't seem to have the slightest intention of resisting, they ran all the way to escape, their morale had already collapsed, and they saw such a group of murderous cavalry suddenly come in from the side, rushing into the rout, and in a moment, the black iron cavalry torrent seemed to erode the wave of the rebels' rout At this time, where is there anyone who cares about resisting, just desperately screaming and howling, struggling to escape with his legs.
Char led the cavalry into the rout, almost encountered any resistance, his spear had already harvested countless lives in a moment, and under the iron hoof, I don't know how many unlucky rebels were trampled into pulp.
In the dark night, Char led the cavalry to rush hard in this wilderness, and soon directly cut a huge gap in the wave of the rebel rout from the side, Char was covered with blood all over his body, and rushed to the far side of the wilderness with the cavalry in one breath, and turned his head to look, but found that he had already rushed out of the rebel rout, and the cavalry behind him were all like themselves, with blood all over their faces, all like hellish ghosts.
With such a charge, he easily cut through the defeated team of the rebels from the side, and the rebels did not resist at all, almost allowing Char's cavalry to harvest their lives to the fullest, and the rest of the rebels were still running towards the south in a scattered manner.
Char took a deep breath, such a massacre for him could not arouse half of his fighting spirit at all, and after frowning, he turned his head and shouted: "Divide the troops into small teams, divide and destroy them" These cavalry under Char's command, even if it is not the five hundred strong cavalry, the rest are all from the Rhoderian cavalry, which one is not the elite of a hundred battles to pursue the enemy, and the tactic of dividing and destroying can be easily executed even with his eyes closed.
As soon as Char's order was received, the cavalry immediately whistled, and automatically dispersed according to the squad, and with a squad of fifty horsemen, they quickly dispersed on all sides of the wilderness, and went to divide the defeated rebel wave one by one.
At this moment, it was as if it had turned into countless sharp blades, and such a huge piece of fat as the defeated brigade of the rebels was instantly cut into pieces Historically, in wars, if the defeated side was pursued by cavalry, it was often a one-sided slaughter.
What's more, these first-class elites under Char Most of the rebels were originally infantry, in the wilderness, even if they ran, where could two legs run over a four-legged horse, and the Raudria cavalry was tactically sophisticated, and this small tactic of division and extermination was carried out superbly, and suddenly there were wailing and screaming on all sides of the battlefield, and many rebels saw that they were caught up by the cavalry and surrounded and trapped, and there was a little bit of bravery, so they could only pick up their arms and resist desperately, but they were immediately trampled and crushed by the cavalry.
And some people who have lost their courage can only throw away the weapons in their hands in despair, hold their heads in their hands and kneel directly on the ground to surrender and beg for mercy.
Char only left his most elite 500 strong cavalry by his side, and he still galloped back and forth in the wilderness with these 500 strong cavalry, as long as he found that there was a tendency for a small group of defeated rebels to gather together and resist stubbornly, he would immediately rush forward with the 500 strong cavalry, and directly crush the opponent's small group, so that the rebels would not have the slightest respite and a chance to organize resistance.
Char searched for the target even more carefully, although most of the rout was infantry, but there were also a few rebels on horseback, and it was probably a general and a leader among the rebels, so they could escape with a small number of cavalry guards.
These people are also unlucky, Char threw the small fish to his subordinates, and naturally concentrated on looking for the big fish in these waves with strong horses, but whenever he saw a small group of rebel cavalry, Char immediately led people to roar, and he didn't bother to care who the other party was, just a fierce charge, regardless of whether you were a general or a governor, go up and stab through with a spear, or cut off the head with a fire fork, and then take the cavalry to the next target.
In such a battle, Char himself didn't have time to reap the results of the battle, and it wasn't until he cleaned up the battlefield afterwards that he found that there were four generals and two governor-level figures in the rebel army who died under him, but it was an unexpected gain.
Char fought here and had a meal, most of the rebels all over the mountains had given up resistance, most of them surrendered on the spot, and only half of them went north, after all, Char's cavalry was still a little smaller, and he couldn't completely hold up such a huge tide of routs, but Char was not worried, he knew that there were thousands of cavalry from the Besta Military Region in the town in the north, although the cavalry of the Besta Military Region was not called its own elite of men and horses, but he had been delayed here for so long, and the other party should have finished the whole army.
The small half of the rebels who slipped through the net were handed over to the men and horses of the Besta Military Region to clean up.
Char took 500 strong horsemen all the way, and simply went all the way to the south, and encountered the defeated rebels on the way, he simply ignored it, and directly led the cavalry along the front of the wilderness to push over, and the defeated team of the rebels who killed them scattered and fled.
After charging all the way, running for a moment, he suddenly heard a sound of military trumpets and horses' hooves from the south, and Char heard that it was the military trumpet of the Byzantine Emperor, and he rushed over with five hundred cavalry, and saw a group of cavalry, driving a large group of rebel routs, chasing and killing at the tail, as if driving a flock of sheep.
The imperial cavalry that pursued and killed the rebels was not very numerous, it seemed that it was only a few hundred, and the ranks were a little scattered, and although the rebels who were driven away were scattered and collapsed, they were scattered on the wilderness, and the number was about tens of thousands.
And the commander of the pursuing Imperial cavalry seemed to be very experienced, and he didn't get too close with the cavalry, but kept blowing trumpets and shouting, and drove the rebels all the way to the back with sufficient momentum, as long as the rebels were a little slower, and had the intention of stopping and organizing resistance, they immediately rushed up to the fight with the cavalry, and after breaking the resistance, they slowed down to make a loud noise.
It is clear that it is deliberately to frighten the rebels, and let the other party run hard This method of chasing and killing is the most spicy and cunning, not really desperate with the rebels, but only driving the rebels to run, so that the other party himself ran first to exhaust his physical strength, and finally won it in one fell swoop, but it saved a lot of effort.
Char rode south with five hundred strongmen, but happened to meet this rebel army head-on, where would Char be polite, and directly led the men and horses to kill, sweeping all the way, flesh and blood flying, these rebels ran for half the night, they were already exhausted, and seeing that there were cavalry coming to kill them, most of them scattered on both sides, and some simply fell to the ground and begged for mercy loudly.
Char whistled, and with his cavalry, he suddenly turned around and ran to the left flank, and came back in a circle directly over the wilderness, and then slowed down and finally stopped.
From a distance, the imperial cavalry chasing the rebels on the opposite side had also stopped, and from a distance, the two sides looked at each other, and in the distance, the imperial cavalry seemed to be a little restless, as if they couldn't figure out the origin of Char's cavalry, and they were a little hesitant.
The two cavalry looked at each other from a distance, but most of the rebels in the middle of the wilderness had already knelt on the ground and surrendered, but neither of the cavalry on either side rushed forward.
Xia Ya groaned slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Blow the military horn and show your identity." ” The cavalry behind him took out the horn to come to Char, and most of the cavalry regiment under Char's command were born in the Rhodrian cavalry, and after the establishment of the army, the cavalry's trumpets also inherited the traditional horn rhythm of the Rhodrian cavalry.
At this moment, the horn of the Rhodria cavalry with the surname sounded, and the sharp and short trumpet sounded, and the cavalry on the opposite side seemed to be shaken immediately.
Char then took the lead, followed by the cavalry, and the team slowly moved forward, marching towards the opposite side.
Along the way, the rebels in the wilderness who knelt down and surrendered bent their heads, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear that the other party would misunderstand and invite killing.
Char led the people to run less than 100 meters away from the cavalry, then slowly stopped, looking from a distance, what made Char frown was that the imperial cavalry chasing the rebels was not only scarce, only three or five hundred horses, and even the queue was a little scattered, among the cavalry, the mounts were mixed, and some of the cavalry's mounts were obviously not even war horses, but were filled with some horses or mules to make up the numbers.
There are also the costumes on these "cavalry", only a small amount is the standard imperial cavalry standard armor, and more are wearing the light armor of the imperial infantry, even the weapons are a little messy, a small number of people use cavalry riding guns, and those who wear infantry armor, many people in their hands use the long swords or combat knives used by the infantry, and some directly use wooden sticks, and a short knife tied to a rope at one end is used as a long weapon of the cavalry.
Such a cavalry, at a glance, is simply a rabble.
But I didn't expect to be able to chase these tens of thousands of rebels and fight all the way.
But soon, Char saw a familiar tall and mighty figure in this group of "rabble" cavalry teams, and he was sure in his heart, so he laughed loudly and slowly rode his horse up.
The tall and mighty figure in the distance, sitting on a war horse, was in the front row of the cavalry, and seeing Char riding up, there was immediately a slightly hoarse but full of anger shout: "Who is in front of you to immediately report the military number" When Char heard this voice, he was even more sure in his heart, and laughed loudly: "General Butler, it's me and I'm Char, Char thunders" The tall and mighty figure on the opposite side was suddenly shocked, and then there was a heroic and hearty laughter, which was full of surprise and happiness: "Char little Char haha is actually your little guy" The tall and mighty general who led the hundreds of rabble to hunt down the rebels was Butler's original Char when he was still serving in the Rhodria Cavalry Corps, he knew this Butler, at that time this silver-haired powerful middle-aged general was serving as the flag officer of the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Rhodria Cavalry Corps, and later after the last war with the Odins, because several other central corps of the empire were heavily damaged in the war, in order to rebuild, a group of stalwart generals were transferred from the Rhodria Cavalry Corps.
And this silver-haired man, Butler, was transferred to the general of the Ninth Corps of the Empire, which can be regarded as a promotion and officially entered the ranks of the first-line senior generals of the Empire.
At that time, he was also transferred at the same time, as well as Sosia, the flag officer of the First Banner Regiment of the former Rhodria Cavalry Corps, who was transferred to the General of the Second Corps.
The Empire's arrangement, firstly, is to draw the backbone of the Empire's most elite army and use it to rebuild other corps.
On the other hand, the transfer of the oldest officer among these Rhodrian cavalry was also to make room for Ruhr, who would later be the general of the Rhodrian Corps, to take over.
Especially that Sosia, who was originally the successor that Adric focused on cultivating when he was in the Rhodria Corps, but after Adric was transferred, the empire sent Ruhr to take over as a general, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he simply transferred Sosia to other corps as a general, which can be regarded as a promotion, a little comfort.
In order to prevent generals from holding their own troops and preventing the situation of the governor of the Tema Military Region from separating the territory, a general has never been allowed to serve as the commander of a unit for too long, and every once in a while, he must always adjust and transfer.
It can also be regarded as a kind of checks and balances.
At this moment, the Butler in front of Char is one of the backbones of the former Rhodrian cavalry.
In this battle of Osgiria, at the beginning of the war, he led his troops to the aid of King Osgilia, and arrived with the second corps led by Sosia.

At that time, the two flag officers who were transferred at the same time, in the early days of the war, each took their own corps to rush to the aid of Yanjing, and also fought a few battles with the rebels.
However, the situation in the early days of the war was far from optimistic.
Although the two generals are veteran generals from the Rhodria Corps, they are brave and good at fighting, but the troops commanded by the two of them, one in the Second Corps and the other in the Ninth Corps, are not strong.
In particular, the Second Corps, in the last war against Odin, was attacked by Hasting's Black Flag Army, almost all of the army was wiped out, and even the number was almost canceled.
However, when the civil war broke out, the reconstruction work of the two corps was less than half completed, and the soldiers were incomplete, the structure was incomplete, and even the training was not perfect, and the quality of most of the recruits and personnel transferred from the local garrison units was really unbearable.
The most terrible thing is that there is also a great shortage of soldiers, the two corps are the first-line central army of the imperial standard, and each corps should have 20,000 people according to the establishment, but in fact, when the civil war broke out, the second corps only had 8,000 people, and the ninth corps was slightly better, but less than 13,000.
The two generals were eager to serve the country, and they had no choice, so they could only stubbornly pull the troops to help Yanjing, and they both had the intention of repaying the country with death.
After arriving in Yanjing, Yanjing has been besieged by the rebels like an iron bucket, the two of them are weak, and they can't enter the city, so they simply join forces together, stationed in a distance outside the city, and confront the rebels, during which they also fought a few battles.
Although the two generals are good at fighting, but the quality of the troops under them is really not on the table, and after some days of maneuvering with the rebels, they finally have a shortage of materials, food and grass, and the rebels are forced to do so, and the two have no choice but to temporarily pull the troops out of the war zone after a while.
A small city was found in the northwest direction of Osgillia to maintain a weak deterrent to Osgilia, but in practice it was difficult to do anything.
The rebels divided into a detachment and crossed in front of them, cutting off contact with Osgillia and maintaining the momentum of coercion.
Although the two generals had the intention of killing the enemy at that time, they were outnumbered and their subordinates were a rabble, and even food was in short supply, so they had to shrink again and again.
It wasn't until the news of the destruction of the city of Osgillia came that the two of them were discouraged, and they just felt that the general trend had gone, so they simply pulled out the people and horses to prepare to fight to the death with the rebels who were monitoring them in front of them, but the situation changed at this moment Butler recognized Char, and the vigilance in his heart finally dispersed, and the old people in the army saw each other, and the veteran general in the army was suddenly happy, turned over and got off the horse, laughed and walked towards Char, Char also dismounted, the two walked together, first looked at each other, Immediately Butler hugged Char fiercely, and then slapped Char's back a few times, and said in a heroic tone: "Yes, yes, it's really your little guy who knew that you were a character at the beginning, and now it seems that you have really grown up."
Immediately when Butler let go of Char, Char saw clearly the veteran general of the original Rhodria cavalry army.
The original silver hair with a surname has already been dyed with blood, and the face is naturally full of blood, and the original majestic appearance has lost a lot of weight, and it looks more haggard than before, but the straight body still has a unique heroic spirit among the Rhodrian cavalry.
Judging from the qualifications of the two, in the past in the Rhodria army, Char was just a personal guard of General Adric, but the other party was the flag officer of the flag regiment, which was far from the same, and Char did not dare to put on a stand for this kind of loyal general of the empire, and respectfully performed a military salute of his subordinates.
Butler was very excited, glanced at the quiet hundreds of horsemen behind Char, and saw that the hundreds of horsemen were closely lined up, quietly staying in the distance, although there was no movement, but it was murderous, and there was a smell of forest in the distance, and it was even stronger, and the smell of the coercion was almost stabbing people's eyes Butler was born in the Rhodría army, and his vision was naturally different, so he immediately saw the unusualness of this cavalry, and couldn't help but change his face slightly: "Good guy, such a strong army Xiao Char, this cavalry, it's all yours" Char smiled: "General, most of them are old men of our Rhodrian cavalry" After a pause, Char glanced at Butler: "This is not the time to catch up, General, let's clean up the battlefield first, and then talk slowly." ” Butler readily agreed, and the cavalry began to clear the battlefield, gathering the rebel troops who were kneeling on the ground, collecting their weapons, and lining up to guard them.
Butler had already pulled Char to the side to a slightly higher ground, and immediately couldn't help but eagerly tugged on Char's arm: "Little Char, I know you should be working in Mor County, why did you come all the way here, I heard that the Odin people have invaded south, and your Mor County bears the brunt of it, and Siltan County heard that it was lost, but you ran here, is it that the territory in the north has been lost."
Char smiled: "General Butler, you can rest assured about the affairs of the north, I, Char, are also from Rhoderia, if the north is really occupied by the Odin, how can I appear here, our people from Retcia have no tradition of being deserters" The implication is that since I can appear here, the problems of the north have naturally been solved by me.
Butler was amazed when he heard this, but Char didn't wait for him to ask again, he had already spoken first: "My lord, I went south this time to come to Yanjing Qinwang tonight's battle, but it made me strange, I heard that the rebels were entrenched outside the city on the way here, why did they suddenly fall thousands of miles tonight."
As soon as he said this, Butler's expression suddenly became excited, his eyes were full of essence, and he laughed a few heroic and heartily: "Speaking of tonight, this battle, the joy of fighting can send out all the bird breath that has been held for more than half a year hahahaha" Then the heroic general, with a few words, told the ins and outs of the rout of the rebels tonight.
