Power and Empire Chapter 487: Fengyan (2)
North of Palavin, Yerui Pavilion,
Dense crowds, and the sound of violent fighting, flooded this ancient city built in the fourth century in Ikadiva. The oldest city in the Swadian Kingdom, after the vicissitudes of wind and rain, the world is unpredictable, still standing in the center of Ikadiva without falling. Since its establishment, it has always been the most important gate of the Palavin area.
Here has always been the hub of the north and the south, and the most tragic battlefield. In the long history, Yerui Pavilion City has been burned down four times and rebuilt four times. Each time the city is burned down and rebuilt, the scale will be larger than before. The Swadian people affectionately call it "The Undead City"
"The mobs are vulnerable." Under the city, Eamon stared at the increasing number of his own soldiers on the city, with a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth,
The success in front of him has already made him forget about it, the Swadian, who has been weakened by half in the attacks of tens of thousands of Kujit troops in just half a day,
In one hour at most, you can break through the Yerui Pavilion's defense line, and then drive straight in, crushing the heart of the Swadian Kingdom, making this raid named after the burning a classic forever chanted by the Kujites , His own reputation will also rise, becoming one of the three most powerful adults in the East Court’s main force going south.
A **** ditch piled up on the walls of Yerui Pavilion. The Swadian heavy infantry is worthy of being one of the elite and strong shields of the Ikadiva Great Six. Not only does it prevent the Kujit’s scimitars from being used. Relying on the advantage of being tall and mammoth, keep pushing the thin Kujites to the ground
Amidst the rapid and piercing whistling sound of "Rumbling", ten simple trebuchets temporarily constructed by the Kurgits collided with the iron gate of Yerui Pavilion, exposing a gap that could accommodate several cavalry. The Swadian garrison on the head of the city panicked.
"Hold here, I will go to the gate of the city. Before His Royal Highness arrives, I must guard." Marshal Burrant, who was fifty years old, turned his head and said to the blood-stained daughter beside him, like a firm sign. Standing at the forefront of the city wall,
Beside him, the broken spears and corpses were like a row of toppled straws. The elite knights who followed him are now less than half, and everyone is injured. , If it were not for the heavy armor on the body, it would have been overwhelmed by the Kurgit frenzy in the offensive just now
"Order the heavy cavalry to attack, target the city gate" Eamon under the city has a look of ecstasy. He put the three elite cavalry teams that have not been in combat into the sequence of frontal siege. Now it is just one blow. The best time, as long as you break through the city gate, Ye Ruige’s defense will completely collapse
Kugit cavalry horses stepped into the river outside the city, splashed with crystal clear white water patterns, lined up along the long wall of Yerui Pavilion, cavalry armor gleamed in the sun with a chilling light, three thousand The Kujit Cavalry, holding a polished steel shield in his hand, and a bloodthirsty craziness on the soldier’s hot face
Compared with the previous siege troops, they are the real elite. They are equipped with thick armor comparable to heavy cavalry, and their weapons are the scimitars made by the best Larry Glyer. Horses are very rarely covered with a coat of fish scales
These specially thickened and elongated weapons cost more than twice as much iron as the equipment of ordinary soldiers. In the Kujit grassland, which lacks iron ore and artisans, this is a luxury enough to make people jealous. The Mongolian tribe can cross the capital of the grassland,
For the great gain and glory that is about to be obtained, Eamon can no longer take care of so much, and dispatched all the troops who were last in the battle.
"Team Assault"
The kurgit cavalry galloping on horseback, the scimitar in his hand dragged a bright light mark in the sun, and the horse under the crotch quickly rushed into an attempt to block the door with a stifling violent wind. Of the Swadian soldiers,
With a snap, there was no time to form the Swadian formation of the gun array. Under the hoofs of the Kujit heavy cavalry that hit like a cluster of arrows, it dragged out a series of shocking bloodstains,
"Array of guns pierced with three bursts"
Seeing the war horse on the opposite side, the white-headed Marshal Burrant has blood red eyes and a tearing roar from his mouth,
"Kill"
The sharp spears in the hands of the Swadian heavy infantry standing in front, with the will to die, stabbed against the Khergit heavy cavalry that was struck by a hurricane, and the bright red blood exploded from both the enemy and the body at the same time. ,
"Father" looked at Marshal Burrant, who was full of silver threads, and with the reloaded squadron with only people left, he filled the passage of the city gate without hesitation. The blood-covered Bonnie's eyes flashed with water. , I want to take people to rescue, but my father's orders are still in my ears
This is Ye Ruige, the last line of defense in the north of Paravin. Bonnie still remembers the scene of passing by nearby Venus City. The situation there, let her know why her father insisted on using herself as a bait
Venus City is a beautiful city. You can understand from its name. This is where the legendary Venus goddess was born.
Its commemorative symbol is the ten-meter-high statue of Venus. Therefore, the Swadian people always try their best to make this city beautiful and beautiful.
Refusing to let go of any corner, as long as a grass can be planted in an empty location, the Swadians will never let it be empty. This is a green garden-like city.
Many great poets and travelers have recorded its beauty and tranquility, which made its reputation spread throughout the entire Yilan University. Even people far beyond the sea know that there is Venus City. A beautiful city.
However, the arrival of the Kujites made the beauty of this city of Venus disappear. After the Khergits conquered the city, they let their cavalry begin a three-day slaughter and looting.
As a result, countless Swadians died under the kurgit’s butcher knife, and entire houses or even several blocks of houses were burned. Except for the magnificent academy’s ruins, they wanted to serve as the Kujit collar. Outside of his habitat, other large buildings were gone, and even the statue of Venus was ruthlessly shattered.
"This is all because of me. If it were not for the failure of my command, those brave warriors would not be buried in the wilderness, and the strong Swadian would not fall into this situation in an instant." Bonnie still remembers that time. The guilty-faced father, holding the blood-stained soil in his hands, was crying on the ground, it was a kind of desolation of heroic twilight,
Marshal Swadian, who once commanded the three armies and was full of spirits, is now just a joke in the eyes of everyone. Whether it is aristocrat or the military, they have shown enough distance to this former marshal, the once glorious Burrant The family has been beaten by wind and rain with the northern battle
One hundred thousand Swadian Northern Army, short of food and clothing, are constantly being harassed by Kujit light cavalry on the road. Less than half of those who can return to Swadian from the vast grassland are those Swadian generals. , Is also dejected one by one. The fierce battle with the Vekya people in the past few months has made them exhausted. The feeling of powerlessness has made them, the proud soldiers of Swadian, have become mentalities from their souls. Coward
Can such troops be used? The Swadian royal family is also in a dilemma. Some people have suggested that incorporating these northern forces into second-line troops can at least play a certain role. Others say that these people are all Swadian sinners, and they are war horses that died in battle. , More noble than them
This is a shameful criticism of the soul. No matter how dazzling the Northern Army’s previous achievements, they are now in the eyes of the military department as a group of mud that can’t support the wall.
In the end, Marshal Burrant stood up bravely in the face of all kinds of discrimination and contempt, and proposed to use himself as a bait. From the returning northern army, 5 squadrons were randomly selected as the last force to defend Ye Ruige. , Brandt wants to turn this "undead city" into the tomb of the Kujites
This is a silent oath. The soul and the future of the Northern Army have been linked to this ancient city.
"Killing" a Northern Army squadron leader. After falling down in the front row, he slammed a single shot into the abdomen of the oncoming horse, exhausted all his strength to hold the galloping horse,
Under his feet, the corpses of hundreds of Swadian soldiers and the corpses of the Kujites were intertwined. They were piled up like hills in the passage of the city gate, and the splashed blood formed a downward slide on the city road. Blood clotting, foot on it, the muddy and smooth feeling, even the strongest fighter, will feel slightly heartbroken
"This is all the blood of warriors"
The squadron leader felt his body shine, and the sharp Kujit cut across his chest, and the galloping horse hooves dragged his body a few meters away,
"Winter? Does Salander also have winter?" The fat man enjoyed his face, the lights in the residential area under the castle, there was only a small faint red light, with his head resting on Nilai's soft thighs, looking up at the sky a little bit The starlight and soft wind blew by, bringing the unique fresh smell of the green and wild.
In the season when the snow falls on the 6th of Icadiva, it is the most pleasant time of the Salander island country. The warm but not scorching sunshine and the gentle sea breeze blowing from the sea make it all appear Extraordinarily comfortable,
Thanks to the gift of this season, the mountains and plains of emerald colors and dots of dots of wild flowers decorate the earth like a huge jade. On the edge of the jade, there is a deep blue sea, like a pearl, hanging in Iraq. The bottom of the long chain of Kadiva 6
"Yes, of course." Nilai said affirmatively, pointing to the two particularly bright stars in the sky. "Look at the eyes of the sea **** Solomon who protects our Salander. They only need to appear next to the star Dong Yao in the middle of the sky. , Is a sign of the arrival of winter in Salander. At that time, the people of Salander will start preparing for the most grand and warm Winter Veil festival of the year."
Different from Mao Manaqing’s ethereal beauty like a snow-capped mountain, Nile belongs to the peaceful and beautiful night sky. Her eyes, which are as translucent as the stars in the night sky, always carry a trace of haziness, but they are related to misfortune, war and hatred. Locked together, what she hates most is death and war, but there are all these boring things before her eyes.
"Winter Veil Festival?" The fat man looked puzzled.
"That is the biggest priest event held by the Salander people to the sky star gods. It was presided over by a highly respected star priest. All the holy temples in the northern part of the kingdom must send people to participate." Nilai's tone was full of With emotion and loneliness, the gaze looking towards the sky trembled in the flickering "to
"You may not know that winter is the calmest season at our southern estuary. In previous years, only during this time could the Salander fleet safely pass through the southern estuary and transport precious cargo to Yida 6 Go, and wait until the next year before you can come back"
"Oh. You still have trade with Yida 6? Where is it called?" The fat man was startled by Nilai, and turned his head excitedly. This is a big sign, no wonder Lord Salander. The business atmosphere is much more open than other kingdoms. I have already tasted the sweetness of it.
"Of course, or how do you think those evil aliens crossed the sea." Nilai looked sad and indignant, gritted his teeth." If it weren't for stealing our most precious star map, they would rely on their crappy sailing skills. Even in another hundred years, it will not be possible to cross the dangerous seaport in the south and reach our beautiful Salander"
"The star map is the most precious item of the priests of the kingdom of the sky." Seeing the fat man’s puzzled look, Nilai slowly explained, "Every year, the fleet leaders returning from overseas will take them on a new route. Record it on the star map, and then hand it over to the Sky Temple when they return, because they believe that only with the blessing of the sky star gods can they pass the dangerous Haikou"
"Where is the star map now?" Fatty's eyes trembled and his voice was a little trembling, recording the 6 routes of different majors, the star map representing countless wealth, unexpectedly so close to him,
"The Normans have one and a spare accessory, which should be in the hands of the Sky Temple in Kyoto, which is my teacher, Star Priest Eferina"
"You just said that every Winter Veil Festival will be presided over by a respected priest of the sky?" The fat man seemed to think of something and said suddenly
"En" Nilai nodded and said with regret." Every Winter Veil Festival is the happiest day for the Salander people. In the Wild Horse Plain, we can gallop as much as we want and follow After the wild horses galloping past, cross the most beautiful and mysterious Ringelingen. If you are lucky enough, you may still meet the rarest Rhine horse king. It is a pity that the Normans plundered and slaughtered there, so there is no more winter there. Whether the atmosphere of the festival can be held this year is still a big question."
"What's the problem with this?" The fat man pouted disdainfully and said, "This year it will be held in Vick Neustadt. One can celebrate the victory against the Normans, and second, it can also increase the reputation of Vick Neustadt in the north, not to mention. The fleets of various families will gather in Vik New City from all directions in the near future. It will happen that the news of the Winter Veil Festival will be spread throughout the Salander III. We can ask your tutor to host, so that you and your tutor will be Can meet again"
"It's just hard." Nilai hesitated for a while, bit her lip with a weird expression, and shook her head in denial. "Since the Norman siege, in order to boost the morale of the city, the teacher has stayed in the temple to the starry sky. God prays and hopes that the **** of the starry sky who guides the direction can once again bring victory to this beautiful land. Memorials like the Winter Veil Festival have always been the responsibility of the Gotha high priest who is responsible for the season with the temple."
"This is very easy. If all the northern lords jointly ask Eferina to host in person at the same time, I believe that even the arrogance of Salander Kyoto will be carefully considered in this situation where the support of the north is urgently needed." The fat man waved his hand disapprovingly. "I can guarantee that this year's Winter Veil Festival is definitely bigger than any previous one. It is the most lively event in history." The fat man vowed.
"What you are saying is true. It is not a simple matter for all the northern lords to join forces." Nilai turned her head in surprise, stared at the fat man for a long time, and looked faint.
"This is not a problem." The fat man smiled and said, "I can send someone to write a letter in the name of Samor Falcon. I believe these lords will know how to choose."
"That would be worse." Nilai shook her head negatively. "You may not know that my mentor is a pacifist. What she looks down on most is a war madman like you. She once told me that the biggest butcher in Icardiwa 6 is Fat Samor from Vicia. If she knows that you are behind, I'm afraid she will immediately leave behind."
"Hehe, people will become." The fat man raised his head and looked at the sky above his head, with a solemn expression. "Everyone wants peace, but when the fire of war burns to the door, no matter how gentle and kind people are, they will also take up arms. Just like me back then, if it weren’t for a Kujit who had arrived at the door, I might still be my own little lord of the happy life somewhere."
"Sashi" a rush of footsteps came from a distance,
"Who?" The guards clamored in the distance,
"I am the messenger of the Dylans family. This time, I am sending an emergency letter by the order of the mistress." A familiar response sounded in the darkness, a sonorous and powerful low voice, which brought a kind of vicissitudes of life. Sense
"Is this Captain Vitminte?" Hearing this familiar voice, the fat man frowned slightly and waved to the guard "Let him come over"
Soon, a thin middle-aged man, led by two guards, came to the fat man, who was the Captain Vertemint he had seen before
"Grand Duke, this is from us inside Swadian" Vertmin carefully took out a red lacquer scroll from his arms, and whispered, "You let us keep paying attention to Riel." The First Knights of Dian Dian has left the station three days ago and its whereabouts are unknown."
"Hehe, as expected, the Swadian people’s previous gesture of weakness was not unexpected, but they were just waiting for the Kujites to get into the trap." The fat man sneered, and his hand twisted the letter into a ball. "It's just a pity. Marshal Rand knows that this is a deadlock that cannot be solved, but he has to use his body as a bait to tighten and tighten until he is completely suffocated by overhead"
"Oh, why do you think so? I heard that Marshal Berrante is the number one player in Swadian." Nile next to him leaned in amazement,
"It is precisely because he is the number one player~IndoMTL.com~ that he has no chance of surviving." The fat man's mouth has a light smile, and his mood feels a little complicated. He looks at the dark sky with few lights in the distance. , Shen said, "Ye Ruige is the northern gate of Swadian. In front of the Kujit army going south, there is no possibility of 5,000 troops to defend it. Therefore, this must be the trap of Swadian.
In order to appear real, Berrante will inevitably lead the army to the death fight, dragging it until the opportunity of the Kujit soldiers to be exhausted, so that the main force of Swadian will reverse the battle in one fell swoop and then fight back."
"Isn't this pretty good? With Marshal Burrant's ability, maybe he can really hold on" Nilai said with a curious look
"You don't know the Swadian people, they are a nation that pays great attention to glory. It is because Burrant kept guarding, so he must die" the fat man said mysteriously, waiting for everyone's appetite to be drunk. Slow down
"If you are the Swadian royal family, would you make a defeated general become a great hero to turn the situation around? Other commanders can only serve as foils. No, they can make a dead soldier become a hero. But it will never let a living comrade blow that kind of attack that will make other Swadian regiments rebel." ..
