Eagle’s Glory

"Let's pray."

"No, I don't pray!" Agron laughed and shook his head, "I don't leave my destiny to God, it can only be in my own hands!"

After saying this arrogant remark, he decidedly walked down from the height and came to Michelle Ney's tent - and at this time, Michelle Ney was also outside the tent, relying on Looking at the enemy army in the distance from the brick wall.

"Michelle, we finally got our guests here," he said aloud to the other party.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Michele Ney raised her head and replied to him, her eyes flashing with excitement, "We're going to devour them alive!"

"Yes, we can't spare him, but we can't take it lightly." Aegron nodded.

Then, he issued an order to the other party, "I immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, and then sent someone to investigate the enemy's situation."

It was already evening, and the enemy's situation was very unclear, so he did not intend to be reckless immediately. He would rather wait until he had a certain number in his heart before fighting.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" His order was quickly answered by Michelle Ney.

Then, Michelle immediately dispatched scouts, left his position, and ran towards the enemies on the opposite side, while Aigron and Michelle stayed by the city wall and continued to use the telescope to observe the opposite side.

At this time, the enemy in the distance also discovered this army entrenched around the castle.

The army of nearly 3,000 people could not be completely concealed in this environment.

After the initial astonishment, the opposing army immediately stopped the march, and then launched a battle. At the same time, scouts were also sent to investigate the movements and facts here.

As the enemy's formation slowly unfolded, the two sides were on the front lines of a few kilometers, facing each other between the two hillsides-the difference was that because they could rely on the fortress, Aegron had to be more concealed.

Time is passing slowly, and night begins to fall on the earth. It is precisely because the enemy is unknown to each other, so neither side took the initiative to attack, and they were silent in a very tacit understanding. Except for the sporadic shots of the scouts driving away, only The sound of the wind echoed between the valleys.

Under Aigron's gaze, many bonfires were lit on the opposite slope, flickering like dense fireflies in the night sky.

Of course, Aigron knew very well that this was nothing more than the tranquility before the storm. Both sides were gearing up for the next inevitable fight—and the battle was expected to start at dawn tomorrow.

Just because he knew it, he temporarily summoned all the important officers under his command to come to his tent this night for the final pre-war meeting.

"Michelle, tell me what you have detected." Agron first said to Michelle Ney.

"Yes!" Michelle Ney nodded in response, and then immediately explained the situation to Aegron, "The number of enemy troops is about 4,000 to 5,000 people, and the equipment is good, but there are no cavalry units. In addition, from According to their clothing and orders, some of them are Egyptian troops, and as you have previously obtained information, they appear to have come to besiege Nafpaktos."

Although Michelle Ney's description was brief, it was accurate enough, and Aigron nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like they're the big fish we're going to catch."

Then, he looked at all the people present with bright eyes, "Everyone, our plan has been successfully implemented so far, but I don't dare to guarantee the next result, but it depends on your hard work and bravery... ... You have heard that there are more enemies than us, but I don't want to back down, I want you to work hard for me and beat them, can you do it?"

"Yes!" His words received an eager response immediately.

"It goes without saying that we still have some friends who are besieged and suffering in Nafpaktos right now, and their only hope is us, and the only one who can rescue them is indeed us! We can't afford to delay, We must kill the puppies in front of us!" Iger waved his hand solemnly to express his determination, "Yes, no matter what, tomorrow is the decisive battle, we will smash them to pieces, and then go back to rescue Andre! "

"Yes!" Everyone, including his cousin Charlie, called out in unison, then looked at Aegron in unison.

Aegron saw enthusiasm and longing in their eyes, but not fear and withdrawal.

Very well, it seems that everyone has a high fighting spirit and is not intimidated by the strength of the enemy.

This is the result he wants to see.

His plan was simple - tomorrow, no matter what, he had to fight the enemy in front of him. If the enemy attacked, he would fight them until they were defeated. If the enemy was under pressure and took the initiative to retreat, so much the better. , he launched a ferocious and ruthless assault, causing the unsteady enemy to bear a heavy price.

Only by eliminating this route of the enemy can he quickly return to the division, rescue Andre Davout, who is still struggling, and then lift the siege of Nafpaktos.

Other than that, he has no other ideas.

After conveying his instructions, Aegron sent the officers back to their original positions, and then stayed in the tent to rest.

Although he was resting, he was so excited at this time that it was naturally difficult for him to fall asleep. He had been lying on the camp bed tossing and turning until midnight.

The next morning, he woke up.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and there was a layer of moist mist on the ground, blocking the sunlight, and the golden sunlight dyed the mist into a golden yellow, and these mists gathered into pieces of white between the valleys. It diffused, and then rose to the surrounding hillsides, obscuring the entire land in his field of vision. For a moment, Aigron suddenly felt as if he had seen the glorious scene he had seen when he crossed the Alps again.

At that time, he had just fled. Although he was full of confidence and ambition, he had to walk through the rolling glaciers and snow-capped mountains, and finally came to Switzerland; but now he has an army in his hands and is fighting for his dream— - How can the fate of life not be astonishing!

Just as he was thinking about it, the clouds and mist that pervaded everywhere rolled up waves like the sea, setting off rows of soft waves, shaking slightly, ups and downs, and condensed the sun into a bright red glow, but its color was in the Slowly thinning, like ice and snow melting in the sun.

Under Aegron's gaze, the visibility of the valleys and hillsides was getting higher and higher, and the wind blowing everywhere accelerated the speed of the fog dissipating.

It didn't take long for the fog to dissipate, leaving only a little dew on the grass, and this was the last remnant of the glorious scene just now.

Aigron has no time to sigh the disappearance of the beautiful scenery with the feelings of a poet. His full attention has been focused on the opposite position - with the disappearance of the fog, the visibility on the ground is getting higher and higher, and the troops on both sides can finally see clearly. the other side.

And this time, they don't plan to give each other much time.

Even without the aid of a telescope, Aegron could see that the position on the opposite side was in a commotion.

It seems that instead of retreating, they are ready to take the initiative to attack.

Although Aegron has an ancient castle as a position, it is a little convenient geographically, but the other party's investigation last night probably also found the weakness of the weak force here, so we plan to solve the problem with a strong attack.

Exactly what I want. Aegron thought.

Only by launching a decisive battle on both sides can the complete victory he was looking forward to come.

Naturally, the army on his side was not idle either. After the fog dissipated, the entire army was ready to attack the enemy army immediately.

Under Aigron's gaze, the cannon on the opposite side made a loud noise, and the cannonballs ruthlessly roared towards the surrounding of the castle, hitting the ground, causing the stone walls to tremble.

Then, with the whistling sound of cannonballs, the assembled enemy army also began to attack the **** on the left flank of the castle.

The entire operation was orderly, and the army's movements were as precise and ruthless as a pocket watch wound up.

Although the cannons were rumbling and the distance was not far from him, Aigron had no fear, and had been standing at a high place looking at the enemy in the valley. Because the distance was shrinking, he could see their heads very quickly. on red hat and white pants.

He took out his pocket watch and saw that it was a quarter to eight.

This is the moment when the "Battle of the Castle" begins... I hope history will remember this moment, and I hope my future children and grandchildren can celebrate my victory...

Instead of praying to God, he clenched his fists hard.

He is sacrificing human life to the gods in exchange for his authority in the world, for which he takes all responsibility.

The enemy's charge on the left flank soon came to the front, and a large crowd of people, like a group of ants on an ant's nest, was moving in the valleys and ramps.

Just as they were approaching the position, the artillery team that had been assembled on the central high platform in the depression by the pond yesterday began to fire back.

The dense cannonballs exploded over the crowd, and the blazing marbles flew around like the toy of the **** of death, and the wind swept through the dense front of the enemy army, causing a tragic scene almost instantly.

The human body that was swept by the shotgun was instantly blurred, and the military uniform was also mutilated. Some people's heads even exploded, leaving only half of their bodies crooked to the ground.

However, this tragic scene did not frighten the attackers. They were still lined up in a dense formation, filling the formation that had been vacant due to the bombardment, but they only quickened their pace.

Roars and screams echoed everywhere, almost overpowering the sound of the guns. They rushed to the front of the position under the bombardment of the shotgun, and then raised their guns and started to fight back.

Although according to the Army Code of Conduct, they must volley towards the opposite side in accordance with the orderly formation and movements, but of course no one can act in full accordance with the order at this moment, so the gunshots continue to sound from the front, and at the same time their footsteps have not stopped. , as if like a tide, it is about to engulf the opposing front.

Of course, it was impossible for the defenders to retreat, and amid the exhausting shouts of the officers, they kept firing on the opposite side.

As the distance between the two sides became shorter and shorter, the sound of gunfire became more and more dense, and the accuracy of the bullets continued to improve, and people on both sides continued to fall in the exchange of fire, becoming new sacrifices received by the **** of death.

The merciless fight was not only going on on the left flank, but as the battle unfolded slowly, the armies on both sides almost devoted all their strength to start fighting each other.

Aigron stood on the high platform, carefully looking at every corner under his feet, as if a chess player was observing his chess pieces, while Major Hench and the members of the guard beside him were guarding him as the final preparation. Team exists.

"His Royal Highness, the situation is not bad." Major Henchy was also watching the fighting on both sides, and then he nodded, "We have fully deployed our front, the battle situation is in our favor, and they can't get any cheap."

"I think so too..." Agron replied with a smile.

"boom!"

At the same time as the two were talking, a loud bang sounded not far from Aegron. He took a closer look and found that a cannonball had just flown into the woods beside the stone wall. It fell into the pond next to it with squeaking groans, and then there was another loud noise. The green pool water was splashed everywhere, and even Major Henchy on the stone wall was stained on his head. A few pieces of green duckweed.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing his funny appearance, Aigron couldn't help laughing.

"At least your demeanor is qualified!" Seeing Aegron's mocking expression, Major Henchy couldn't help laughing awkwardly, and then reached out and swept the few pieces of duckweed from his head. "But Your Highness, you must remember what you promised."

Aegron certainly remembered that he promised Major Henchy last night that if the situation was completely unfavorable, he would retreat on his own, leaving Major Henchy after the break-but of course he hoped that such a thing would never happen.

"I won't leave you, at least not today!" he answered loudly.

Then, he pointed to his left-wing position - where the fighting was most intense.

After the fierce confrontation between the two sides, they had already started to fight bayonets. Although the fighting was very fierce and the casualties on both sides were very heavy, it was obvious that the weaker side, with the help of the position and the spirit of brave sacrifice, was gradually attacking. Back off the opponent's attack.

And this also means that they thwarted the enemy's offensive.

"They're dead! We're going to crush them!" Aegron was forced to raise his volume because of the non-stop artillery fire, so his expression and voice became more murderous.

"It's still early, Your Highness!" Major Henchy replied loudly, "You wait. When the time is right, I will charge with your guards, and you will stay here to witness the result!"
