Saron stood on the fortress where the army pressed forward. In order to meet the Swadianites, 20,000 heavy infantry soldiers of the Northern Army, wearing heavy armor and holding spears, were waiting on the fortress of Stross. In the first round of the 15,000 crossbowmen’s rapid firing, almost 200 meters away on the flat ground, forming a **** and hideous killing zone,

As the Swadian army was like a flock of black sheep, driven forward by the superintendent team behind, there was no emotion on Saron’s cold face. At the corner connecting the two sides of the fortress gate, there were more than ten basis walls. A temporary trebuchet tower,

In the beginning, in order to capture these trebuchet towers with long-range suppression, Saron’s Northern Army paid a heavy price. Unlike the scenes where other areas of the city wall were raging, these trebuchets that should have been shot long ago are completely It doesn’t mean to shoot, just because they are waiting for the order to attack

Amidst the enthusiasm of other troops and the huge profits, the operators of the trebuchet felt itchy one by one. They bulged their eyes and adjusted the angle of the trebuchet with the voice of the surveyor. It was dull. In the air, the shouts from the advance of the Swadian army made these trebuchets feel as uncomfortable as seeing a stunning naked in front of them, but they could only pretend to be a blind face

"Take it down, sir!" This is the fifth time that the trebuchets have reported to the Legion Headquarters for instructions, but there was no result, until the enemy almost entered a hard zone meters away from the city wall, Legion Commander Saran The order was delivered from the Legion Headquarters, "Listen to all catapults, one hundred and thirty meters away from the proofreader, and the direction is straight ahead. Call me!"

Just after the order was delivered, the trebuchet that was already eagerly scorched roared out of its own. The sound of "cracking" the spring of the trebuchet was continuously cracking, and countless boulders with various sharp water chestnuts, like a flock of birds suddenly Flying through the sky, from the white sky and rain, falling from the sky with a stern wind, thunderously slammed into the middle of the dense Swadian shield array that was facing the arrow rain and steadily advancing.

The soldiers didn’t even have time to dodge, and they didn’t have any shields to withstand this completely irresistible terrorist attack. The huge stones were crushed in the queue, and the soldiers on the entire road were instantly smashed into pieces. Meat slurry,

Brain splashes. The minced meat flew horizontally, and under the rolling boulder was a **** residue of minced meat. This terrifying effect was dozens of times greater than the actual killing effect.

Many Swadian soldiers have faced such terrible defensive weapons for the first time. The eyes of the companions died so miserably, the sense of terror controlled their fearful hearts, "Damn, run away!" They screamed hysterically, dropped the shields in their hands and hugged their heads, and the neatly arranged shields were densely packed with stones. The blow fell apart, and the defeated soldiers scattered the entire muddy low-lying land like a flock of wild sheep.

"Shooting, there are those who retreat without authorization, kill!"

The supervising team behind, in the hysterical screams of the second prince Harouskes, lifted the powerful infantry in the air with a heavy bow. Those who can serve as the supervising team are the confidants of the second prince. There is almost no hesitation in ordering. In their eyes, there is no one or an enemy, only the difference between success and soldiers.

In an instant, facing the own soldiers who ran back, the archers in the direction of the supervising team were all arrows, and black raindrops roared in.

"Papa Papa" Swadian soldiers shot down a large area. Those soldiers who screamed and fell to the ground with their arrows widened, and they still couldn't believe the fact that they died in the hands of their own family members. ! The last row of Swadian knights in charge of the front line did not hesitate to drew out their sabers. They used knives and spears to slash and slash the soldiers who broke apart backwards. They did not treat their subordinates at all, because according to In the Swadian military system, if the troops under his command are disintegrated, the knights who lead the team will also be sentenced to death

Going backward is dead, and going forward is dead. The fortress in front stands majestically, falling rocks and arrows are like violent storms, it is hard to imagine that anything can survive such a blow,

Layer after layer of corpses piled up into mounds, and blood gurgled into rivers, staining a wide swamp muddy area several hundred meters in front of the fortress in red.

The wounded were crushed among the corpses screaming for help, and no one had time to bother. The desperate Swadian soldier gave a terrifying cry and suffered a nervous breakdown. They laughed wildly like lunatics, banging their heads against the wall in despair, and their brains burst. Someone lay down and pretended to be injured, but new cannon fodder blasted on the ground again, stomping him into pulp.

"Attack, kill those who retreat without authorization!"

With the lessons learned, the 20,000 infantrymen who pushed up from behind obviously fought for a lot of kills. The army rushed forward. Under the washing of heavy rain, countless red water flows along with the gully between the soil.

"Kill, kill, kill"

The world is full of terrible shocking waves. The huge rocks and arrows dense as raindrops once again violently bombard the sea of ​​people, like waves lapping on the hard rock wall, turning into splashes of terrifying bright red." "Puff puff puff" the sound of sharp weapons piercing and bone breaking one after another in the rain, this is the waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing.

With this decisive attack, the Swadian army did not care about casualties and sacrifices. The 80,000 army marched step by step, until it reached the moat of the fortress.

"Cracking" the huge siege city driven by the Swadians, the wooden Copeland swayed and swayed in the muddy rain ground. From time to time, huge slings aimed at it. The bullets whizzed past the side of these giant siege equipment, and smashed into the heavy infantry who was slowly advancing with the catapult below

The deep moat under the city hindered the continuous advancement of the Swadianites, and the second prince Haruosques ordered the marching troops to quickly fill it up. However, the Swadian soldiers carrying sandbags couldn't get close because the people who were shot by the crossbow at the head of the city turned their backs on their horses. The fallen corpses piled up nearly one meter high on the moat of the castle,

The forward infantry waited anxiously. I don't know who was the first to take the lead. The soldiers threw the bodies of their companions into the moat, even the undead wounded soldiers were thrown in.

Amidst countless plops of the moat, the water gradually became shallower, but it was scarlet.

"Sure victory! Sure victory!"

Stepping on the bedding of flesh and blood, the Swadian soldier raised his weapon over his head, jumped into the river, and used the bedding of the corpse to advance. For a moment, the black and heavy pieces on the river surface were all the heads exposed on the surface of the water. The crowds of people and horses formed a new bridge, and people could walk across the other bank without a wet foot!

"Shoot!"

The fifteen thousand Vikya crossbowmen on the city wall also shot red eyes, clusters of arrows shot down from the slopes on both sides of the moat like a torrential rain, and countless Swadian soldiers fell in the scarlet water. As a result, it became a new ground for itself. A group of Swadian cavalry rushed down to the city and jumped into the river.

As soon as they left, the cavalry felt that the horse was completely out of control, and the strong pungent smell of blood hit the nose, and there was a thick layer of floating corpses everywhere, making it look like the blood pool **** in the legend. A strange smell, also mixed in the blood

The Swadian knight who led the team pushed away the blood floating on the river with his hands, and under the blood that was now intense and vomiting, there was a layer of black and bright oily liquid.

"It's black blood!" This terrible present made the brave Swadian knight face pale with fright, "Quick, get ashore, get ashore!" He waved the river vigorously, towards the infantry who was still jumping off. They yelled that no one noticed his gestures in the chaos. On the contrary, the supervising team at the rear continued to drive the infantry down the river.

A large number of infantry even climbed up to the wall. In the shooting blind spot under the city wall protected by the archers, the infantry set up a ladder, tied their weapons behind them, and climbed up the cracks of the city wall. The wall was black and crushed, like black ants. Climbing up with a cube of sugar.

Seeing the troops approaching the city's head, Swadian's entire army burst out with enthusiastic cheers, "Sure victory! Sure victory." As the fourth phalanx of the Prince Harouskes' Guards, it was dispatched.

Twenty thousand rushed forwards, where their bows and arrows were less than 100 meters away from the fortress, used intensive shooting to cover their infantry. Tens of thousands of arrows flew in the air on both sides, and sparkling metal waterfalls could be seen constantly. , Bottom-up countercurrent! The crossbowmen on the sturdy city wall were also unable to withstand this blow.

Bricks flew across the wall, cracks everywhere. From the gaps between the railings, the shooting holes of the battlements, from every window, every shooting hole, every stone crack, arrows were ejected, and the entire city was groaning. From time to time, the crossbowmen on the city were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The corpse was bleeding, and the cold city walls were covered with **** handprints.

The arrows flew across the air. Vekia sent soldiers running around the city, calling out one after another, the sound of catapults, crossbows, and winch ballistas shooting continuously, shaking people's eardrums with a dull pain.

The current situation caused Salon to put all the reserves into battle. His Northern Army only dispatched 26,000 men this time, but because of the previous losses, there are now less than 23,000. Man, facing a violent attack four times his own, his troops are really insufficient. In some areas where defenses cannot be balanced, the Swadian infantry sneaked up on the city wall,

The patrol immediately rushed to intercept. Soldiers in the first row squatted down and put their five-meter-long spear shafts on the ground with the tip of the spear pointed forward. The second row of spearmen put their spear shafts on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, and the third row of soldiers placed the spear shafts on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers. The spear rod was also placed on the shoulders of the second row of soldiers. Three neat rows of spears point diagonally forward,

The densely packed spear tips of the Vicky runners shimmered the terrifying metal sharp edge in the white rain. The tip of the gun is like a forest. The phalanx is like a mountain! The pressure on the line of defense is heavier moment by moment, and the rush is closer than that, and the number of people is increasing. In the fierce battle, the two sides gritted their teeth, blood flew across, and screams continued everywhere.

"Ignite!" At the critical moment, Salon finally gave the order to light the moat where the black oil was poured. As a red torch flipped and fell from the height of the city wall, the huge flame instantly The entire moat was turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the Swadian infantry who was still rolling inside and climbing the wall was engulfed by the raging fire without even having a chance to call for help.

"Damn it! Just a little bit,"

Seeing the defeated siege, Prince Harouskes waved his horse whip angrily.

"Your Majesty, stop attacking immediately, or else the army will be over!" Some generals from the crusade army ran over in a hurry, but Prince Harouskes did not plan to withdraw immediately,

He didn't expect the Falcon army to be so tenacious. With four times the strength, he could not obtain a repressive advantage, but one thing was gratifying, that is, these were pushed to the front line mercilessly by him. Most of the soldiers are from the crusade army, and only the fourth team that has not yet gone up is their own.

He disregarded the advice, and said with a stern face, "We suffered heavy casualties during the three fierce battles, as did the Vikiyas. However, war is a contest of strength and will. I firmly believe that who can hold on to the last five minutes, Whoever wins in the end"

His answer made the generals of the crusade army look difficult, but they had to execute it. In fact, the troops that were beaten to cooperate with the second prince were mostly teams that were not highly valued in the crusade army. The crusade army had nearly Ten thousand people, such a large scale but lack of supplies and combat power, is a fact that has long been recognized, otherwise, it would not be blocked by the tens of thousands of elites of the Second Highness under the head of Palavin.

Furthermore, the troops sent to assist this time were forced to issue a military order. If the attack fails, no matter which side will take their heads,

Because the Nords collapsed too fast and time was too tight, the real main battle troops were all in the big camp behind, only these cannon fodder troops ran the fastest. In order to cover the real main force, these cannon fodder were destined to use their own Sacrifice, use a powerful offensive to consume the strength of the defending army, as long as Stalos is captured, the back of the main Falcon army seems to be completely exposed

This is a deadly battle. There is no retreat, no victory or defeat, only death.

Otherwise, when the main force of the Falcons completely defeats the Nords, and then turns around to clean up themselves, the Swadian army will inevitably suffer from the frantic revenge of the Vijaya Falcons. Although the Swadian generals are large in number, in Brandt, General After Rais and other old-generation celebrities are gone, none of the new generation is an opponent of the Vekia Falcon, and now the entire Swadian military world is talking about the Vekia Falcon and is evasive.

To cheer up the lost military spirit, the most important thing is an undisputed victory. Harusx guessed it right. The Swadian army was corpse all over the field, and Saron guarded the dying Northern Army of Stros. , The same heavy casualties. As there was no reserve team to replace, the soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle were exhausted.

The battle damage of the two main battle banner regiments stationed on the southern city wall was more than half. The soldiers on both sides piled their bodies on the bluestone slab of the fortress. The gurgling red blood mixed with rainwater flowed down the steps to the fortress. Small seams in the corners.

There are more dead bodies in the city than living people.

At 5 pm, the main force of the Swadian Army, with a strength of 120,000, arrived, and the fortress of Stros became a **** **** again. Thousands of knights formed assault troops on the city road. The flame-burning moat was also filled with soil by the riverside by the Swadians who spared no effort. Thousands of Swadian soldiers flocked to the gate of the fortress, and their crowded armor made a harsh metallic sound. Even if they couldn't even turn around and catch their breath, many soldiers were inexplicably stabbed to death by the knights with sharp knight swords because they blocked the way on the bridge.

The Northern Army, with more than half of the casualties, gave up the defense of the outside of the fortress. Based on the tall interior of the fortress, they held heavy shields and lined up adult walls to block every staircase leading to the main fort.

On the dozens of steps at the entrance of the main building, the Vikia heavy infantry and the assaulting Swadian heavy infantry violently collided into a ball. The shield of the army was against the shield, and no one could advance or retreat. Death, their corpses couldn’t fall down, they were wrapped in a stream of people and continued to move forward, living like a dead person trying to charge, mixing into a huge melee vortex, which was constantly rolling, twitching, and convulsing. , Produced a lot of blood and sacrifices.

At the entrance of the narrow city road, tens of thousands of people gathered for battle. This is hardly called a battle. Both fighters can only do their best to prevent themselves from being crushed to death or trampled down. It is almost impossible to have casualties. Anyone who fell to the ground injured immediately trampled the soldiers on both sides into sludge. The blood and corpses rolled over, roaring, shouting, groaning, and the killing on the city road was so tragic that a large amount of blood flowed down the city road. The stairs flowed down, and even the insteps of people were once inseparable.

On the horizon behind the army of more than one hundred thousand Swadians, a black line is like a thin stream of water, and this stream is expanding at an astonishing degree, it becomes a black stream, and it becomes The black river, in the end, seems like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all the black lines have gathered into a black ocean beyond sight!

Thousands of cavalry rushed out from below the horizon, rushing towards the rear of the Swadian main array in an overwhelming manner. That terrible darkness was so dark that it was so dark that people did not dare to face it. Soldiers and horses rushed forward, like a storm, as fiercely as madness, and thousands of them came surging in a dense formation. Coming in, swooping toward the rear army who is retreating from the front to rest~IndoMTL.com~ is the main force of the Falcons! "

The current situation in the Swadian camp was panicked. Looking at the sudden appearance of the army, many people were shocked that their whole people were turned to stone. They couldn't think of why the main force of the Falcon Dynasty army, which should be fighting against the main force of the Nords, would appear behind them at this moment. .

"Kill" the Central Army Guards Cavalry led by Hu Keqili, with only one whistling, they plunged deeply in from the unsuspecting rear of the Swadian Army, stomping with horseshoes, and knives everywhere like snow. With the falling heads, a whole squadron of Swadian infantry was overwhelmed by thousands of war horses. The bright red blood mixed with minced meat was stepped deeply into the muddy soil

With only one glance, the second prince of Swadian Harouskes judged that this time was completely finished. Rather than mobilizing forces to save the army at this time, it is better to protect the elderly, as the main force of the army is the most important thing.

"The order goes on, and the flag regiments immediately resist on the spot!" Harouskes shouted anxiously, but in a hurry, it was not easy to switch from a siege to a defensive battle. The various infantry squadron headquarters are turning hastily, and the soldiers are in a mess.

"Pay attention to the front line!" The front infantry captains roared hoarsely, "Stay firmly on the spot!"
