Power and Empire Chapter 1677: Road to War (3)
"Woooooo—"
The sky is vast, the winter sun is almost no temperature, but the vigorous north wind seems to be more in line with the sight in front of us. The ground of Lisbon that has just fallen snow is white, but at this moment, under the city of Lisbon, it is surrounded by countless people. Full,
"Assemble, take the Lisbon Torre!"
The desolate warhorn is violently heated in the wind, like the wind that has passed through the gap between the two armies for thousands of years,
The smell of blood is spreading, and it seems to indicate that the cruel war has been a monster that devours human flesh from the day of its birth, with a full thirty-eight squadron flags that are just inhuman, in the bursting morning breeze. With a popping sound, the densely packed infantry line lined up 500 meters in front of Lisbonto
The mixed queue of walking and riding is still constantly coming out of the mountain forest outside the city
The rumbling of hooves and footsteps resounded across the earth, and the cavalry lifted up a yellow dusty mist, the blue Gang Fei army, and the flying Gang Fei Crusaders, like a huge wave, in front of the thin black walls of Lisbon. Gathering, you can submerge this half-ruined city at any time,
"Legion commander, I think the generalists must be terrified, just so they can make a push and attack directly!" The 27-year-old Gangfei 7th Infantry Regiment Commander Akadler was riding on the horse. , Looked at the general defenders running back and forth on the city wall of Lisbon in the distance, and said with some impatient expression that it makes sense for him to call Remchat the commander of the army. After special approval by the Ministry of Military Affairs, in order to deal with the general The rebellion of the Ministry of Military Affairs authorized Remchat’s anti-insurgency army to be temporarily organized as the 10th Gang Fei Crusade Corps.
The commander of the corps is served by the senior officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs Remchat. It is mainly composed of the original 11,000 garrison and a 30,000 local infantry regiment reinforced from the country. The total force reaches 40,000. According to intelligence, there are less than 20,000 general rebels in the city.
Remchat gently swings his whip in his hand leisurely, staring at the distant city wall of Lisbon, with a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth, at the position of Remchat’s main line, one side is five meters wide. The super-large red Iron Crusader flag is particularly eye-catching,
With this military flag as the center, a huge array of 40,000 non-military troops scattered on both sides, like metal long swords spaced apart, is ready to go, and is ready to support the city wall in front of Lisbon. It was riddled with holes in an instant.
"The two-to-one military comparison is really a battle without suspense!"
Remshat curled his lips slightly, and a frightening chill flashed in his slightly pale blue eyes. Although the legion had just gone through a long journey, it should be enough to deal with such miscellaneous soldiers! The general garrison above was obviously frightened by such a mighty army, and the soldiers on the garrison moved back and forth like ants.
Scattered queues, spear arrays were erected on the city wall in a mess, a mess of city defense equipment was crowded and pushed up, a few nondescript general old-fashioned military flags fluttered in the sun without death, just a glance I know it’s a typical improvised army, but it’s the same. The idiot of the Duke of Putao has been under his supervision for six years, and he almost wanted to sell the last pair of underwear. For the rapid recruitment of rebels, such a high-burning thing, he can The batch in front of me is pretty bad.
"Legion commander, rest assured, in less than half a day, we will be able to enter the city and kill all these ordinary people!" Infantry commander Akadler respectfully raised the whip in his hand and said with confidence.
"Then don't waste time!" Remshat smiled, raised his whip, and commanded loudly "First, fifth, seventh, eleventh...Heavy infantry lined up! Goal! , Lisboa!"
Following the order, a messenger cavalry with a blue and red flag on his back. Just like a cluster of arrows, with the bursting wind of the battlefield, galloping past the army formation of the Gang and Fei people, several groups of Gang Fei heavy infantry, who were called by their names, marched from the army in order. Step forward, shouting "Heavy Infantry Out!"
dusty, like a long metal wall that suddenly rises,
These rigid and heavy infantry are wearing heavy scales and heavy armor specially made by the army. The main weapons are heavy spears and melee hatchets. The outer right arm is a shield made of fine iron, which is huge and can completely cover people. So when I walk around, it’s exactly like an iron wall is moving
is wearing a pointed helmet with sideburns on his head. The entire face is covered by a metal visor. Only at the eye position, there is a cross-shaped crack that can be seen clearly outside. On the outer white drape of the armor, there is a huge cross painted in red
Cross!
This is the symbol of the sacred European Empire. The Congolese and Fei empires have always regarded themselves as descendants of that great empire, so they have also followed this symbol, but for the enemies of Congo, the blood cross The meaning is obviously more profound,
The red blood cross that represents slaughter, plunder, and destruction caused the Duke Putou standing on the wall to tremble slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands squeezed the battlements heavily. The Duke Putou was too hard. , The knuckles are whitish,
When the Lanmian Army broke through Lisbonto, it was the Red Blood Cross heavy infantry who also sent the first battle. The Duke of Putau still remembers the terribleness of this heavy infantry. The army of the Duchy of Putau is in these occupations. In front of the butchers, they are harvested like slices of wheat. Arrows hitting these butchers have almost no effect. At most, ordinary light weapons will pierce the first layer of scales outside, and then they will be smashed by the second layer. Blocked by the barrel armor, many ordinary soldiers were killed in this way. The blood cross heavy infantry of only 5,000 people easily defeated their 15,000 defenders.
The resistance of against Gangfei fell in less than a week. The Gangfei army that invaded the city carried out a brutal looting of the entire capital of the Principality. The entire capital was looted, 30,000 yuan Six thousand Lisbon trustees died because of this plunder!
"Go ahead and kill all the living creatures you can see in front!" The heavy infantry captains of Gangfei shouted loudly. At a distance of 200 meters from the city wall, these infantry captains with blue cloaks were neatly drawn. The commander stabbed the sword in his hand, and the soldiers followed closely behind. With all kinds of encouragement, the soldiers' eyes began to change from being cozy to a feverish, bloodthirsty luster
The eight squadrons of heavy infantry and heavy infantry marched together. The battle flag was waving, and there was a thunderous sound. The infantry formation formed an offensive echelon, like a torrent of iron and steel. The front was shining with the metal light of armored shields and long spears, attacking. The momentum is surging like a tsunami, like an avalanche that cannot be stopped,
The blue armor is like a huge wave, wrapped in a row of sharp infantry lances, flashing awe-inspiring cold light in the morning sun, and rushing towards the city walls of Lisbon with an overwhelming momentum.
"Oh my god, let's run quickly, I said long ago, we can't resist the Gangster! We still have the island chain, it's safe there!"
The King of County Raphael, who was standing next to the Duke of Putao, was so scared that he was crying and screaming miserably by the sight below. As soon as he was still 300 meters away, he had already begun to retreat, 250 meters, This guy's legs trembled like twists. It was 200 meters away. If it weren't in the state of being half-guarded by the guards behind him, this ostrich guy would have to roll down the city wall. It's too dangerous here!
Compared with him, the performance of the Duke of Putu is very impressive. Although the face is also pale, although the legs are also trembling, the Duke who was scared to pee in the war again, at least this Once he didn't run, he tried his best to hold on to the battlements, loosen his blue-purple lips that were bitten by his teeth, and breathed the air with his utmost effort. It seemed that this approach could make him strong, and finally he stood up straight. In a kind of anger, Lin Hanguang, the gun moving towards the distance, shouted.
"Come on! What kind of gangster, this time, I won't run again!"
"Who is the one that your Majesty Falcon handed over to me!!" The commander Lidar Coutius gave a dumbfounded look at the Duke of Universal, who hadn't completely slowed his spirit,
Although he was a civilian background, he followed Vicia Falcon’s buttocks and fought north and south. What scenes hadn’t been seen before, only 40,000 people could be scared like this? If it happened to the Storros battle where 300,000 troops fought hard a few years ago, this guy wouldn’t be scared to pee. Lidarcus didn’t know that the Duke of Universal had already scared to pee.
"Not to mention the Battle of Rwanda Akka, I alone face the outstanding elegance of the 100,000 Southwest Army!" Lidacus said in his heart, "Now, let you see, hunt The King of the Iron Wall of the Eagle Empire is awesome!"
"The crossbowman is ready! Goal, one hundred and fifty-meter noodles!" Lidarcus looked calm, and the guy who had smuggled the family with the weapon of the famous general, began to give orders without any haste. Entering the 150-meter attack line, according to Lidarcus’ years of experience following Fatty, he knew that if the one standing here at this moment was His Majesty Falcon, he would definitely give the other side a slap in the face! It has been striving to achieve the goal of severely damaging its spirit. In the battle of siege, spirit is the first!
Following the order, the six thousand soldiers of the Imperial Central Army who were in ambush in the city road, bent over and walked out of the city road. They cautiously squatted down behind the battlement shot and took their strength in their hands. Infantry crossbow, eyes move with the slowly coming Gangfei line,
"This is..."
Putau Duke was completely stupid. He knew this ambush, but he didn't expect it to be one hundred and fifty meters! According to the normal range of a bow and arrow, doesn't it just start to attack after 100 meters?
The other general soldiers were also completely stunned. Although most of them were recruits, they could still feel the terrible murderous aura from the Central Army of the so-called Falcon Empire, like ice, it seemed Freeze the surrounding air,
Every archer is like a statue, no one speaks,
This is a real archer!
In Puman, some well-informed mercenaries are trembling. The hands of these soldiers with weird bows and arrows are like cast iron, without the slightest fluctuation, and their eyes are sharp like an invisible knife. , This is the level that can be reached by proficient archers who surpass ordinary archers. Archers are always the most difficult to cultivate. A good archer can easily kill the most brave enemy fighters at long range, so even in Among the mercenaries, a skilled shooter is also a captain-level figure,
And so many captain-level shooters popped out at once, the mercenaries were completely stupid
At this moment, they are looking down at the Gang Fei army, who is holding the shield, and ignorantly singing the Gang Fei war song, just like watching a group of prey half-footed into the trap, full of sadness. Poor, although Gang Fei has a shield in his hand, but the shield can play a very low role under the precise killing of a skilled shooter, not to mention the distance of walking hundreds of meters in front, which has made Gang Fei’s original shield. The wall, because of the high and low terrain, has begun to disperse. These loopholes are simply fatal flaws.
For a shooter, one mistake is enough,
These ordinary people don’t know, standing in front of them is the elite of the empire who has swept a continent.
In every day-to-day drill of the Central Army of the Empire, there is a two-hour training for the crossbow to hang stones. The crossbow is the main attack weapon of the Falcon Empire. Not every soldier of the Central Army is an excellent shooting crossbowman. But when the crossbow in hand is raised flatly as a whole, it can definitely cause shocking damage
At this moment, the entire city wall is silent, and the sound of the wind rolling up the dust on the ground can be heard quietly. Everyone’s hearts are twisted together. There was a strange feeling unexpectedly. He raised his head and turned a little unexpectedly. I don’t know why, he suddenly realized that the garrison of the city wall of Lisbon, who was still chaotic just now, stopped unexpectedly. That kind of bad. The feeling is like a string that is suddenly tense to the extreme, and it seems to be suddenly disconnected!
"What's the matter, is it an illusion?"
Remshat’s excellent stability pattern prevailed. The surprise brought by the sixth sense only made his eyebrows frown.
"Go forward, attack!"
The cheers from the heavy infantry were heard from the front. Victory was in sight. The attack line was pushed one hundred and fifty meters. The trebuchet that was originally feared unexpectedly failed to launch. What are you waiting for! The heavy infantry started to get excited, and the ground slammed on the ground with accelerated pace
"Shoot!"
At this moment, there was a sound like a torrential rain falling to the floor, like a vase bursting suddenly, from the direction of Lisboa, a black flash, like a swarm of black locusts, suddenly tilted from the wall of Lisboa. Down, overwhelming the sky, like all the stars in the sky falling on the ground,
"How is it possible!" Remchat's eyes almost exploded when he saw this scene behind, when! There are so many shooters on the wall! In his pupils, the white feathers of light continuously draw a brilliant brilliance in the air, and the arrow clusters are like a waterfall. They are blocked in front of the shields of the heavy infantry. The feeling is Like a sudden rainstorm, it smashed gorgeously on the marble-patterned windowsill, creating a breathtakingly beautiful spectacle
is just this kind of spectacle, which represents the death of our own soldiers. It is a terrible killing and **** that makes people heart-shattering,
Countless blood splashes, the soldiers with arrows fell in pieces, even the tightest shield wall, before such a terrible mercury-like violent attack, was covered in the densest area, there was almost no heavy infantry. Live mouth, just like a piece of live dug out in which area, the other queues are cut into several sections,
"Damn, there are ambushes!"
The heavy infantry team was in chaos. They were shocked to find that the heavy infantry armor that they depended on the most was torn apart under the opponent's arrows. The sharp whistling sound completely occupied the surrounding space, surrounded by companions. The screams, amidst the chaos of people turning their backs on their horses
"Quick, grid shield!"
Faced with the burst of arrows that almost blocked the sun, the non-heavy infantry were very professional and uttered an exhilarating shout. Countless shields would stand up like a wave of fluttering, scream! Pop, arrow clusters. Shot on the stainless steel shield, it was covered by heavy bounce arrows like a waterfall,
"Arrow car! Shoot at full force"
Lidakus, the guy who likes to figure out the ways of fat **** the most, at this moment does not give Gang Fei a chance to breathe, the other party sends out the heavy infantry in such a concentrated way, in his eyes it is a fragrant dish. The feast is really a good thing that saves time and effort. If you miss it, you will be condemned by the gods. After a few volleys of crossbows, he has no hesitation to use the most terrible weapon against the swarms. Loading is very time-consuming and laborious, and it takes ten minutes to launch each time.
But Lidarcus’ decisive judgment gave the Gangfei heavy infantry a devastating disaster
The trebuchets on both sides of the city wall, 30 loaded arrow carts, angrily fired the largest salvo in history. The masterpiece of military-industrial killing from the Falcon Empire appeared in the sky of another continent for the first time. Countless cold light, like the sky suddenly full of silver light spots, pounced from both sides of the defense hole of the Gangfei heavy infantry!
The heavy infantry was completely fired and couldn't raise their heads. The scattered queue made their temporary erected shield wall pierce countless. The Falcon crossbowmen above shot at the Gangfei people below~IndoMTL.com ~Soldiers are constantly falling down like a hedgehog full of arrows
In order to reduce the chance of being shot in the turbulence, the heavy infantry have chosen to squat on the ground, gritting their teeth and hiding behind the shield,
Don’t talk about going forward, it’s hard to go backwards,
some tricky arrow clusters from the city wall, shot through the gaps that can be shot with unimaginable precision,
The bright red blood exploded from behind the shield
"Ah, I got an arrow!
"Help me, I don't want to die!"
Various sounds, and these sounds will soon be interrupted by the rapid sound of breaking through the air. The massacre in front of them makes the Gangfei troops behind them completely stupid.
No one has seen such a dense and terrible arrow rain. Although I heard the screams in front of me, no one had the courage to go up and save people.
"Retreat! Order the heavy infantry to retreat immediately!"
The entire army of the two squadrons in the front was destroyed, and the incompleteness of the four squadrons made Remchat completely anxious at the back. The heavy infantry was his biggest support for siege. If he loses, he can’t send light infantry and The cavalry will attack Lisboa, who has become more terrifying than **** in an instant!
