Power and Empire Chapter 1668: Empire vs. Empire (7)
"The city gate, the city gate was broken!"
The garrison of the Bruges Fortress was in turmoil. The soldiers stared at the gate in amazement. The sun rose from the distant horizon and shone on the Falcon soldiers who surged over the city wall like a dark tide. At that moment, Scott Road Matthew, commander of the 32nd Gaul Infantry Regiment in the fortress, arrived late with his own guard.
" Where is Master Tali? "Scott Matthew ordered someone to stop a disintegrated officer. Tali was the commander of the 21st Step Corps.
" I don’t know, the whole army was broken up! "This **** officer raised his finger with a pale face and pointed to a tower on the left." The place where Master Tali finally commanded was there, but now. ..." The officer shook his head and looked in the direction of the officer's fingers,
Scott Matthew took a breath of air, "Oh my God"
I saw countless Northwestern rebels wearing black armor, densely covered in the tower like ants climbing on sugar cubes. The cold light of the weapons flickered like snow flakes, hanging on the top of the tower. The regimental flag is like a kite with a broken line falling from above,
Although he is also a soldier, as a local army commander who has barely been on the battlefield, Scart Matthew never thought that he would see such a shocking picture one day, and the 21st Step Corps’ line of defense was already Faltering, the enemy’s attack was too fierce, and in just an hour or so, it showed the strength to completely defeat the 21st Step Corps. A full-strength infantry regiment, based on the inherent superiority of the fortified city wall Under the circumstances, the opponent’s fierce attack is still full of holes,
The tower of the 21st Step Corps is finished, and the Bruges Fortress must not be lost, otherwise, the entire left wing of the army will be shaken!
" Hurry up, immediately organize a manpower to grab the city gate back! "After a brief loss of consciousness, Scott Matthew began to give orders." Hold on, and it won’t take long for the two infantry regiments behind to arrive! "He also Thinking about it, such a loud fighting can be heard more than ten miles away. As long as the two infantry regiments arrive in time, it may not be able to stop the momentum of the Northwestern rebels. Unfortunately, he does not know what he is facing. It is an elite unit of the Falcon Army with a total of 50,000 people. Otherwise, he must have issued an order to evacuate quickly. Even if the two infantry regiments arrive at the rear, they are already unable to return to the sky
"Watch out for the enemy cavalry!" Suddenly, there was a terrible cry that made him tremble,
" Cavalry! Cavalry of the Northwestern Rebels! "Scott Matthew hit a jī spirit, and he heard the sound of rolling thunder coming from the rear of the oncoming army. The ground was trembling, Scott Ma Xiu looked hesitantly at the fortress gate, his mind was completely blank, the other party used cavalry to attack the fortress! are you crazy? At this moment, in his mind, the sound of fighting and shouting all over the room seemed to pause for a while,
is like a burst condensed on the top and exploded
"Attack!"
accompanied by a shout that resounded through the battlefield, it was like an avalanche across a mountain,
Almost in an instant, countless black cavalry, like a huge black rolling dragon rushing in directly from the fortress gate, the earth is shaking violently, and the sky is flying dust, as if in the morning light A shocking storm was set off from above, like a sharp saber thrusting into the back of the defeated army,
"Papa Papa"
The war horse moved forward like thunder, and the light of the turning knife was shining in the sunlight, like a meteor flashing by in the night sky, and Gaul’s army flew out to avoid being unavoidably hit hard, and there was a fierce metal collision. The sound, at that moment, the first sight of the defeated army was the thousands of horseshoes kicking down on their heads,
"Stay steady, don't mess!"
Some Gaul officers shouted hoarsely in the violent sound of the wind. Although they were also scared and pale as paper, but now they only use this slogan for the final struggle,
Almost at the same time, the black shadow rushing past him drowned his voice in a terrible crash, and the creak of spears broke everywhere, and the terrible sound resounded. The rumbling of the sky horses was mixed with blood splashing. In front of this terrible momentum, the Gaul infantry queue seemed to be smashed into paper.
"Raise!"
Hu Keqili shouted loudly, the assault blade composed of 5,000 Central Army cavalry, neat and uniform movements, and the horses leaping at high speed under the hips, with the fastest attack, the Gaul who broke up in front The army was completely destroyed,
"Stop them, stop them anyway!"
Scott Matthew recalled the terrible rumors about the northwestern rebel cavalry, and suddenly shouted pale,
Even the hundreds of guards behind him were frightened by the powerful assault method of the Northwest Rebel cavalry. No one would have imagined that they would encounter the terrible Northwest Rebel cavalry in the fortress. The collapse of the army, there is almost no possibility of even hindering it,
"Raise a spear! Raise a spear! Pick up your weapons if you don't want to die." The Gaul army was completely messed up, and the spearman trembled slightly and quickly raised his hands amidst the rude screams of the infantry captain. The stabbing guns, the trembling and scattered infantry gun arrays appear to be scattered,
"kill"
the ear-splitting shouts, if the terrible storm is released in an instant, the cavalry’s horn formation, like an impenetrable cluster of arrows, plunges into the defensive line formed by the spear, slap.
The Gaul infantry was trampled by the horses hooves that came rushing into the mud, followed by the second row and the first row. If they were squeezed away like a smashed billiard ball, the steel would collide and slash. Sounds, screams and wailing, screams of death, horrible screams of wounded people, and breath of armored war horses erupting white gas like a volcano,
The Zhongliyang cavalry rushing into the fortress violently collided with the Gaul collapsed army that was besieged nearby,
Like a spike sharply smashed into the soft flesh, the cavalry’s huge impact immediately plowed a blood path in the surrounding Gaul’s collapsed army, and the horses galloping wildly did not Because of the small obstacle in front, the speed is reduced, but the original ragged army is instantly cut off.
"Ah, help"
"Oh," the Gauls screamed, people turned their backs on their horses, and the chaos caused by the horses in the crowd spread rapidly like a bowling center that was hit by a bowling ball.
"Go forward, punch them!" The leader of the attack, General Hu Keqili shouted mercilessly, without a trace of emotion on his face, the sword was under the command of lightning like lightning, and a high man Soldier Lu was knocked over. Under such a close slam, fighting skills and strategy are completely unimportant at this moment. When we meet on a narrow road, only the fearlessness and **** bravery of the soldiers, and only continuous forward, can the advantage of the horse's tonnage Play to the maximum, powerful impact, never stop forward, forward!
The heavy war horse in battle armor is the most advantageous impact weapon for the cavalry. "Bumping" the hammer of the Zhongyou cavalry violently smashed the Gaul soldiers in front of them time and time again! There is no spark, only blood! The impact formation is continuous and coherent like an indestructible steel spear: turning the enemy blocking in front into a piece of fat butter that can be cut by yourself,
" No more, no way to guard! "The Gaul finally began to collapse across the board, leaving behind a bruges fortress in Bruges,
August 3 was also the day when the situation began to reverse.
Fifty thousand hemorrhoid hunters unexpectedly took the Gallic Army’s left-wing center of gravity, Brugge Fort, in one fell swoop. The leader of the Gallic Left Wing, Gleda, had a pale face, and immediately ordered the counterinsurgency troops from all over the country to march towards the Fort Bruges. More than a hundred thousand left-wing forces have just assembled and are re-attacked towards this important weight that determines the direction of the entire war scale. Gleda has not realized that when he gave this order, the nodes of the two armies were concentrated. The fortress of Bruges, offensive and defensive exchanges, the initiative of the campaign quietly changed hands, the Gaul left attempted to use logistics to bring down the advantage of the Falcons completely lost.
The Falcon Army quickly arranged a defensive line, and Thor, who arrived from the Admiralty, was not put on the head of the fortress of Bruges.
On August 7, the left wing of the Gaul Army arrived at the foot of the fortress slope, crowded with people, densely packed, and countless dozens of square infantry formations, bang, bang, bang! "With the first batch of advancing phalanx infantry, the rhythmic and neat footsteps made even the strong walls of the fort tremble,
"Go forward! "The dazzling steel luster formed by the Gaul phalanx, the oppressive force gathered by thousands of people,
"Kill, kill! Kill!" The loud and neat shouts came from the wind.
Gallic spearmen lined out the four-cornered sideline, and huge hòu shields blocked themselves, countless cold and bursting spears, a whole row of spears protruding from the gap between the shields, like a huge hedgehog curled up there. , At the moment of danger, the spikes completely exploded outwards,
On the two wings of the infantry phalanx are the archer troops slowly following up,
These archers wear pointed round caps on their heads, tight sleeves on their bodies and legs, and no armor. In fact, most of the bow and arrow troops will not be equipped with armor, only the Falcon Army. It’s the long-range army that will equip their bows and crossbowmen with armor,
"Not so good" Hu Keqili stood at the fortress head, looking at the enemies below 100,000, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and issued the order "Push out Thor!"
"creak" The Thor support roller made a heavy rolling sound on the wall, and the black muzzles were raised in the direction of the Gaul army. The gunners borrowed from the navy used iron chains to The castle walls are fixed together,
The naval Thor’s caliber is smaller than the Army’s siege Thor, and the weight is much lighter. This time it was delivered, the fierce Navy Thor was temporarily disassembled from the battleship, and the gun mount was not broken. The upper sides of the gun mount are made of hardwood wheels. If it is launched on a naval battleship, it needs to be fixed with an iron hook. The same is true for launching from a fortress. Otherwise, the strong recoil is enough to hurt the soldiers behind, if there is no hook. Live, one shot fired, the whole cannon can vibrate several meters back
"That's it?"
Gleda looked at the long iron pipe that suddenly appeared on the fortress, and his pupils shrank unnaturally, and suddenly looked a little unnatural. He hadn’t seen Thor, but according to intelligence, he knew that the Northwestern Rebels had a very scary one. It is said that Gleda’s long-range weapons can open mountains and crack stones. For this description, Gleda thinks that it is a bit exaggerated, but he also believes that such weapons should be dangerous. Under his cautious vision, there are countless large-scale instruments with cold metallic luster. , Is being pushed up from the city wall by rows of northwest rebels in the fortress
"The whole army is attacking! "Gleda gritted his teeth and has no choice. I can't take the Bruges Castle. The whole left wing is in a state of collapse. Since the opponent is a long-range attack weapon, it can reduce the range or reduce the damage. , The loud bugle that represents a full-line attack resounds through the sky,
"Go forward!"
Hundreds of thousands of Gaul troops pounced from around the city wall, soldiers and horses rolling forward, at this moment, the world is full of terrible shocking waves,
The dense boulders and arrows on the city wall violently bombarded the sea below, splashing scary red waves, waves of flesh and blood and screams. With this decisive attack, without caring about casualties and fear of sacrifice, the Gaul army pushed forward step by step, pressing down to the bottom of the fortress wall
"Shoot!" The Falcon Crossbowmen on the wall fired one after another.
Countless Gaul soldiers fell in the scarlet blood with arrows. The first to arrive was the fastest lightly armed assault soldier, under the cover of the archer, in the shooting well under the wall, The Gaul assault infantry set up a ladder and climbed up along the gap in the city wall. The wall swiftly counterattacked them, and countless soldiers fell from a high place with arrows, and the city wall was covered in black. /
"Command the archer to cover up!"
Gleda narrowed his eyes and stared at the fortress of Bruges. The combat effectiveness of the northwestern rebels was indeed amazing. Facing the onslaught of more than one hundred thousand troops, the walls were also well organized. The archery shooters finished a batch of Quickly retreat to the archer behind him. The dense clusters of arrows hit the troops below like pouring rain. Twenty thousand Gallic archers charged forward, covering their infantry with intensive shooting, with tens of thousands of arrows. Arrows were flying in the air, with shiny metal flashes, shuttled back and forth between the two armies. The solid city wall also flew higher than the upper brick shavings shot by arrows, and cracks appeared.
"Launch!"
Hu Keqili looked at the heavy infantry team slowly moving forward, and slammed his hands down. A huge roar of "roaring" burst out from the fortress head, and the flames rose up with white smoke. Dao dragged the red ball of fire and fell towards the Gaul heavy infantry team below,
"What's this?" The Gaul soldiers who were still climbing the city wall were shocked. The flashes of fire at close range made their retinas feel a burning pain and a huge bombardment. The sound made many Gaul soldiers jump off the climbing wall, like countless photomasks, suddenly exploded from the periphery of the Gaul phalanx, and the rising heat wave drove the soldiers around. Involved in a whirlpool-like air wave, screaming rippling around, the broken limbs and flesh and blood, mixed with fire, blew up in the sky, scattered in the air like raindrops, and the bottom has become a mess
rumbling, rumbling...
The smoke wave cage has reshaped the ground one hundred meters in front, turning it into a world filled with gunpowder. In the smoke of gunpowder, the flames of the explosion were so vivid in the semi-dark red smoke. In the smoke of gunpowder, the dense formations of Gaul's heavy infantry were overthrown. It was almost like thatch that had encountered a hurricane. It seemed at the same time. Stepping on a huge tuyere, countless objects flew up, flying high into the sky, falling in an irregular curve as they watched, shattering the remains of the soldiers, and being blown away. Twisted and deformed shield,
a broken spear, and countless dust and sand. In particular, the marked tower shield of the Gaul heavy infantry is like a leaf flying in the blast of air, making various rotating postures in mid-air, and slamming into the damp and soft soil.
"Damn, what is this?"
The Gauls were completely frightened by the violent explosions around. Even Gledda, who had already sacrificed some soldiers, did not expect such a terrifying sight. The opponent’s first round of shooting would kill himself Most of the periphery of the array known as the death squad was knocked off,
At least thousands of the bravest regular army soldiers were injured or killed in the inexplicable explosion, and the army has begun to riot. The soldiers were scared and pale. In a series of hell-like explosions, the steel tower shields were almost defensive. People turned their backs on their horses and flew in blood and blood. The floods swept through the Gaul infantry phalanx, just like the phalanx of Gaul. It was the mighty waterfall that hit the hard rock, and the waves of the Gaul army phalanx came to a halt slowly, just like moths fighting to the fire, with fearful gazes, they were bursting from all around. Raytheon shelled into meat sauce.
At this moment, Gledda regrets it a bit. The opponent has such a terrible weapon and has completely put his superior force in the position of slaughter. Forcibly attacking the city is tantamount to self-destruction
"All troops withdraw!"
Gretel gave the order with bloodshot eyes, but it was too late. It was not only Thor that arrived at the fortress of Bruges, but also the mass killers, ballistas and arrow carts that actually faced the infantry cluster. These are in Icardi. The **** killer developed in the War of Reunification of the Uzbekistan broke out completely at this moment.
"hu"
The sky suddenly darkened. One hundred and thirty-five series of ballistas and one hundred and five large-scale arrow carts were launched at the same time. Large swaths of flying arrows blocked the sun like clouds~IndoMTL.com~Dark clouds turned into an instant. Rain, a metal waterfall falls from the sky! The arrow fired by the crossbow machine was so strong that the Gaul soldier who rushed in the front seemed to be punched frontally by an invisible giant, and the whole person suddenly flew backwards, his body twisted in mid-air. In an unnatural posture, he turned and shot him into a hedgehog. Those heavy crossbows relied on powerful mechanical springs to shoot down from the height of the fort against the Gauls below.
"Papa" The countless heavy crossbows that hit the Gauls were like a hammer that slammed into the flour pile. In the air, countless rain of blood accompanied by the stumps of limbs flew up in the air. The smell came, and the minced meat on the face of the infantry who fell behind,
"Mom!"
The Gaul soldiers were frightened by the tragic sight in front of them and retreated like a flock of frightened sheep, letting the infantry captains behind them wield heavy weapons shouting forward, forward, not allowed Back! "
For a time, the walls of the entire Bruges fortress resembled a sudden eruption of a volcano, with countless arrows covering the sky. In this terrible metal storm,
The armor and shields of the Gaul local military order bó the weakly protected flesh and blood body is as fragile as paper, and the soldiers in the front row are instantly crushed to pieces,
The Gaul troops trampled and screamed at each other in a panic, the rain of arrows flew like locusts, and the sharp wind of the arrows bursting through the air filled the entire space, (to be continued) [Bring parallel imports, @鳥豆裝吧@小乐鸡@神兽教授@神韵有意] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
