Power and Empire Chapter 1196: Mystery weapon

　　 The cold and bitter winter rain hit the blue vine-covered exterior wall of the fortress of Balas, and a burst of crystal clear water splashed on the windowsill of the fortress room. The outer fortress of the fortress towered high in the sky, like huge eyes. The rows of window holes have collapsed. The officers are instructing the soldiers to clean up the collapsed rocks. From a distance, it looks like a group of black ants surrounding a floating attic.

　　Baras Fortress, it has long lost the domineering arrogance that has chilled the enemy's eyes for more than a hundred years. It is more like the reeds swaying in this sudden wind and rain. Whether it is a soldier or an officer, it is sinking. In the tragic atmosphere, everyone knew that the fortress in front of them could no longer hold on, but in order for more people to survive, they must hold on to this crumbling fortress and fight for the retreating army to return to Asia. Lun’s time,

　　 may be because of the rain, the rumbling of Thor’s cannons in the distance finally stopped. In the deadly air, only the sound of raindrops floating on the walls of the city,

　　Earl Busey walked into his fortress office, and the white rain and fog pervading the ground in the distance, like a thick mist, covered the scene within five miles with a vague and dizzy shell,

　　 Through the floating rain and fog, Earl Busey saw that the falcons lined up outside the Barras fortress had dispersed, the situation was slowly turning, and the fortress was temporarily safe. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, This rain saved the Fortress of Barras,

　　Time is what he needs most now. Once the fortress collapses and the Falcon commander drives in, and the retreating army is entangled by the Falcon cavalry, then it will be a disaster for the entire Aaron, and This rain undoubtedly blocked the progress of the Falcons’ bombardment of the fortress, and also provided natural cover for the 150,000 troops evacuating in the direction of Aaron.

　　As the last guardian of the majestic fortress of Balas, Count Bussy is ready to die for his country regardless of the success or failure of the battle. He just went to inspect the fortress and chose to stay on his own initiative. They are all veterans with combat experience. Even in the face of the collapse of the fortress, the soldiers are ready to be martyred, but they still feel a little uneasy thinking about the report they saw in the morning.

　　"After all, it is an army of 150,000. I believe that even if there are a certain number of Falcon cavalry, I dare not act rashly!" With such a fluke, the Marquis of Bussy suppressed the content of the report, but for the sake of safety, he still Send your most trusted captain of the guard to chase the retreating army,

　　 "Rumble" At this moment, a muffled thunder rolling sound turned over the sky above my head, and the silver lightning skin pierced the sky with a crackle. In the depths of the dark clouds in the distance, it was like a blush being stirred. This is Signs before a storm in the mountains

　　"Let’s go, let’s go, preferably last month!"

　　 Count Bussy raised his head and looked at the rolling red of the sky in the distance, revealing a rare touch of joy. The heavy rain, the rain washed from the top of the mountain will roll down the rocks, for the hunt for the offensive against the fortress. For the Eagles, it is undoubtedly to increase the difficulty. The heavy rain will make the Falcon’s thundering cannons, and they will not be able to exert their power. The most important thing is that as the Aarons, they know that if they encounter heavy rains, they will The hilly land between Lars and Aaron will become a muddy swamp,

　　 is barely acceptable for infantry marching, but if it is for cavalry mobile combat, the muddy ground is enough to delay the horseshoes that the cavalry flies over, and the cavalry slows down and loses the terrible impact that makes the infantry fearful. The cavalry that has lost the impact is the target of the infantry slaughter

　　At this moment, he doesn’t know that the battle of the hills has come to an end,

　　 In just two hours, the Aaron army of 150,000 people suffered a devastating blow. The vast hills were covered with the bodies of the Aaron people. The knife brought out the light traces of death. Under the heavy horseshoes, Aaron's army was killed and wounded. There were fallen corpses all over the mountains and plains. The heavy rain he expected and pleased,

　　 It is precisely that many of the Aaron defeated troops who fled into the forest did not escape the pursuit of the Kujit cavalry, because the muddy footsteps are too conspicuous for the Kujit who are good at hunting. This time The heavy rain also caused the river level in the hills to soar, drowning many people, and the strong smell of corpses made the downstream fishermen afraid to eat the fat autumn fish that were caught for three months.

　　Time passed by one minute and one second,

　　 In the evening, Earl Busey finally became a little anxious. He paced back and forth in the office, and asked the guard outside the door again if his captain had returned, but he got no answer.

　　 "What's going on? Come here, immediately send a team of scouts to Aaron" Earl Busey sat heavily on the chair, according to the time and the speed of the horse, his captain of the guard should have returned long ago , But there is no news until now,

　　 The abnormal situation makes him always feel an ominous premonition. He can only hope that what he explained to Slay will work. The strong man breaks his wrist. If he is really entangled by the Falcon Army, he will have to give up if necessary. ,

　　"Is there no new news yet? Under what circumstances is this?"

　　Earl Busey watched the heavy rain outside the window, his fists clenched, ten fingers pale because of excessive force, the good mood at the beginning has been invisible, just like his increasingly violent eyes, slightly white light The world outside the window was so murderous, he was full of anger, as if he wanted to penetrate the white rain curtain in front of him, to see exactly what happened!

　　 "Quickly, report to your lord... the captain of the guard Als has defected!"

　　 A guard in heavy armor ran over from the corridor outside the hall, his feet stomping heavily, his flustered face was like seeing a ghost, and his floating footsteps made him still crossing At the threshold of the corridor, I stumbled heavily, my chin broke, blood was dripping, and the whole person looked embarrassed.

in

　　 The guard waiting at the door was also taken aback by the **** face of this companion, and his face changed. He quickly ran up to help the blood-stained guard up, and asked loudly, "What did you say? Who defected?"

　　" Guard Captain Als, he was bought by the Falcon Army!"

　　 the guard said hesitately, "A brother who had accompanied him to deliver the letter just came back from injury. He said that Captain Als suddenly attacked them from behind when they were unprepared. There were four guards with him, and he was the only one. He was not killed because he detected it quickly! But he dared not run back immediately. He was afraid that Als would intercept him on the road, and waited until dark before sneaking back!"

　　 "What did you say!" The voice outside the door also alarmed Count Busy in the room. He hurried out. This sudden news made his face become hideous,

　　"Report to your lord, Als is an insider of the Falcons!"

　　Looking at Count Bussy’s murderous face, the security guard in charge of the report thumped and knelt on the ground,

　　 Count Busy's face was pale and his body swayed. He couldn't figure out how, Als, the young captain who had followed him for 2 years and had high hopes like his own child, turned out to be the inside line of the Falcon Army. As the captain of his own personal guard, Als is very clear about the deployment of troops and the loopholes in defense of the Fortress of Barras. To defect at this moment is tantamount to stabbing his own chest severely. The blow to him can be imagined,

　　 "I'm so stupid!"

　　Earl Busey hit the threshold of the office with a painful punch. He knew why it was so quiet throughout the afternoon. It was not the Falcons who interrupted the attack because of the sudden heavy rain.

　　 but because the main battlefield of the entire battle is no longer in the direction of its own Barras fortress,

　　In this vast hilly area after the rain and fog, how many people can return to Aaron after the 150,000 Aaron army evacuated from the Fortress of Barras? This is the most important focus of the entire battle!

　　 Knock the mountain and shake the tiger!

　　 Or from the beginning, when the Falcons blasted the base of the fortress, they did not really collapse the fortress, but forced the defenders to evacuate from the fortress, because as long as they left this solid turtle shell, it would be difficult for people without systematic training. For the 150,000 recruits who have never been on the battlefield, it’s a catastrophe.

　　"Come, send someone to search the area 20 miles behind the fortress!"

The thought of 　　 made Earl Percy a deep chill. He shouted angrily, Als’s defection, the Falcons died down, behind all this calm, there is a strong blood that can be smelled. The taste, you can imagine, what a dangerous situation the Aaron army will be in now after being exposed to the retreat time and route,

　　" 150,000 army, 150,000 creatures are behind the invisible rain curtain, stepping into a death trap that has already been dug! According to the style of the Vicia Falcon in the past, it’s a lore if it doesn’t do anything. , Will certainly not allow Aaron’s army to retreat safely. In this battle, he was led by the Vecia Falcon from the very beginning! A deep sense of frustration surged in Count Busey’s heart, and he sent 150,000 troops with his own hand. On a dead end!

　　 "My lord!" Before his words fell, the guard outside the door hurriedly pushed in from the outside again, bringing a not-so-good news, "The retreat army meets Fu~IndoMTL.com~ Numerous casualties, command Lord Lawsuit Lai was seriously injured and was just taken back to the fortress."

　　 "It's over! Ballas is over, Aaron is over!" Earl Busey was pale and sank down on the chair.

　　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　　 raindrops fell on the deck of the hull. Following the rapid river flowing down from the upper reaches, a medium-sized warship slowly entered the Port of Aaron controlled by the Falcons. The hull vibrated slightly and stopped steadily.

　　"pop" The water waves are swelling, the anchor is thrown into the river, the baffle is erected from the side of the ship, a dozen Kugit soldiers walked down from the top carrying more than ten large wooden boxes, and the leader led the team. The squad leader paid a military salute to Crolitsat who was waiting on the dock, and said respectfully, "Leader, these are some of the spoils we have seized. According to the order of King Falcon Khan, everything is here. !"

How many "　　" are intact?" Crolithart waved his hand to him, glanced at the wooden box behind him, and asked with scorching eyes

　　"This...it was so messy at the time, I'm really sorry! At most one-third of it can be considered intact," Squad Captain Kujit said dumbfoundedly on his face

　　" Forget it, it doesn't matter! It would be great if it could be delivered! "Crolisart's mouth curled slightly, and it was not until the warship left the harbor that he turned around and ordered to the people behind." It's really troublesome to find a few people who know how to make tailors, and we have to wipe people's buttocks!"

　　" My lord, what are these things? I have to find a tailor. "A general asked carefully

　　"These are the powerful weapons we used to defeat Aaron!"

　　Crorissat took a deep breath and looked at the city of Aaron, which is separated from him by a lake, with countless spires in the wind and rain (end)
