Power and Empire Chapter 1668: Empire vs. Empire (7)

"The city gate, the city gate has been breached!"

The defenders of the Burrì Fortress were in turmoil. The soldiers stared at the gate in amazement. The sun rose from the distant horizon and shone on the Falcon soldiers who rushed across the city wall like a black chao. At that moment, Scott Road Matthew, commander of the 32nd Gaul Infantry Regiment in the fortress, came late with his 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!" The **** 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 (=Qianren, Qianren Novel Network,...)..."The officer shook his head and looked in the direction of the officer's finger,

Scott Matthew took a breath, "Oh my God"

I saw countless Northwestern rebels wearing black armor, densely packed like ants climbing on sugar cubes in the direction of the tower. 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 in front of him, the twenty-first step corps. The line of defense has been swayed and the enemy’s attack was too fierce. In just an hour or so, it showed the strength to completely defeat the 21st Step Corps. A full-strength infantry regiment, based on In the case of the innate advantage of the strong city wall, the opponent's fierce attack is still riddled with holes,

The tower of the twenty-first step corps is finished, and the Bururì Fortress must not be lost, otherwise, the entire left wing of the army will be shaken!

"Quickly, immediately organize manpower to grab the city gate back! "After a brief loss of consciousness, Scott Matthew began to give orders." Hold on. It will not 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 was a sharp force of 50,000 Falcons, otherwise, he must have issued an order to evacuate quickly. Even if the two infantry regiments from the rear arrive, they are already powerless

"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 violent spirit, and he heard the sound of rolling thunder coming from the rear of the oncoming army, and the ground was shaking. Scott Matthew He looked hesitantly at the fortress gate, his mind was completely blank, the other party used cavalry to attack the fortress! are you crazy? this moment. In his mind, the sound of fighting and shouting all over the room seemed to pause for a while,

It's like a burst condensed at the top and exploded

"Attack!"

With a shout that resounded across the battlefield. Like an avalanche across a mountain,

Almost in an instant, countless black cavalry rushed in directly from the fortress gate like a huge black dragon. The earth was shaking violently, and the flying dust was rising, as if a shocking storm was set off in the morning light. Like a sharp sword slammed into the back of the defeated army,

"Papa Papa"

The war horse moves forward like thunder, and the light of the turning knife is like a meteor flashing by in the night sky under the shining of the sun. Gaul’s defeat is unavoidably hit and flew out, a burst of tragic 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, but now they only use this slogan to make 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 roar of the sky horses was mixed with blood splashing. In front of this terrible momentum, the Gaul infantry line seemed to be smashed into paper.

"Advance!"

Hu Keqili shouted loudly, the assault blade composed of 5,000 zhōngyāng cavalry, uniform movements, and the horses leaping at a high speed from the hips, with the fastest attack, completely broke the Gaul army in front Washed out,

"Stop them, stop them anyway!"

Scott Matthew recalled the terrible rumors about the northwestern rebel cavalry, and suddenly shouted with a pale face,

Even the hundreds of guards behind him were shocked 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 amid the rude screams of the infantry captain. The stabbing guns, the trembling and scattered infantry gun arrays appear to be scattered,

"Kill"

The loud cry, 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 long spear, snapping." The Gaul infantry was rushed. The horseshoes that came were trampled and trampled into mud, followed by the second row and the second row. If they were squeezed away like a billiard ball, the steel was colliding fiercely, slashing, screaming, screaming and killing death. Yelling, the horrifying screams of the wounded, the snort of the armored war horses erupting white gas like a volcano,

The zhōngyāng cavalry rushing into the fortress violently collided with the nearby Gaul collapsed army,

Like a spike sharply smashed into the soft flesh, the cavalry’s tremendous impact immediately plowed a blood path in the surrounding Gaul collapsed army, and the horses galloping wildly, not because of the front A small obstacle reduces the speed, but instantly cuts off the original ragged army,

"Ah, help"

"Mah", the Gaul 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 zhōngyāng general Hu Keqili, who led the shock, shouted mercilessly, without a trace of emotion on his face. Under the command of a war knife like lightning, a Gaul soldier was knocked over. Under such a close collision, fighting skills and strategy are completely unimportant at this moment. When we meet on a narrow road, there is only the fearlessness and blood courage of the soldiers. Only by constantly moving forward can the advantage of the horse's tonnage be maximized, and the powerful impact will never stop moving forward. forward!

Heavy war horses in battle armor are the most advantageous impact weapon for the cavalry. The zhōngyāng cavalry hammer smashed the Gaul soldiers in front again and again! There is no spark, only blood! The impact formation is continuous and coherent like an indestructible steel spear; it turns the enemy blocking in front into a piece of fat butter that can be cut by itself,

"No more, can't hold it!" The Gauls finally began to collapse across the board, leaving behind a scarred Fortress of Buru,

August 3rd is also the day when the situation begins to reverse.

The Fifty Thousand Falcon Army was surprised. In one fell swoop, the Gallic army's left-wing center of gravity was captured at Burrì Fort, and the head of the Gaul Left Wing, Gleda, who had received the news, had a pale face. He immediately ordered the counter-insurgency troops from all over the country to march toward Fort Burrì. More than 100,000 left-wing forces had just assembled. Going back to this important weight that determines the direction of the entire war balance, Gledda hadn't realized that just when he gave this order, the nodes of the two armies were concentrated in the Bururì Fortress. The offensive and defensive exchanges, the initiative of the campaign quietly changed hands, and the Gaul leftist's attempt to use logistics to bring down the Falcons' advantage was completely lost.

The Falcons quickly deployed a defensive line. The Thor, who arrived from the Admiralty, was put on the head of the Burrì Fortress,

On August 7th, the left wing of the Gaul Army arrived under the fortress slope, crowded with people, densely packed, 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.

The Gallic Lancers lined out the four-cornered sidelines, and huge thick shields blocked themselves. Numerous long spears bursting with cold light, the entire row protruding from the shield gap, like a huge hedgehog curling up there, facing danger. At a moment, the spikes exploded completely outwards,

On the two wings of the infantry phalanx, there are archers slowly following up.

These archers wear pointed round caps on their heads and tight sleeves on their bodies and legs. They have no armor. In fact, most of the archers are not equipped with armor, only the Falcon Army. It’s the long-range army that will equip their bow and crossbowmen with armor.

"Not so good." Hu Keqili stood at the fortress head, looking at the enemies below 100,000, curled his mouth slightly, and issued the command "Push out Thor!"

"Crack" The Thor support roller made a heavy rolling sound on the city wall, and the black muzzles were raised in the direction of the Gaul army, and the gunners borrowed from the navy used iron chains to lift the gun mounts. Fixed with the city wall,

The caliber of the Navy Thor is smaller than the Army’s siege Thor, and its weight is much lighter. The 100 Navy Thors shipped this time were all temporarily disassembled from the battleship, and the gun mounts were not removed. The upper two sides of the frame are made of hardwood wheels. If the gun frame is fired on a naval battleship, you need to use an iron hook to fix the gun frame. The same is true for firing on a fortress. Otherwise, the strong recoil is enough to hurt the soldiers behind. Hook, one shot fires, the whole cannon can vibrate back several meters

"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 had never 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!" Gleida gritted his teeth and had no choice. He couldn't take Burrì Fort. The entire left wing was in a state of collapse. Since the opponent is a long-range attack weapon, it can be used to close the range or reduce the damage. , The loud bugle that represents a full-line attack resounds through the sky,

"Go forward!"

More than a hundred thousand 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. It is a wave 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 city wall shoved.

Countless Gaul soldiers fell down with arrows in the scarlet blood. The first to arrive was the fastest lightly armed assault infantry. Under the cover of the archers, in the corner of the wall under the wall, Gaul The assault infantry set up a human ladder and screamed up along the gap in the city wall. The city wall swiftly counterattacked them, countless soldiers fell from a height with arrows, and the city wall was covered in black,

"Command the archer to cover up!"

Gleda's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the fortress of Bururì. The combat effectiveness of the northwestern rebels is indeed amazing. Facing the onslaught of more than one hundred thousand troops, the city walls are also in order, and the hands of the arrow are finished. . He quickly retreated and gave the shè hand behind him. The dense clusters of arrows hit the troops below like pouring rain, and 20,000 Gallic archers charged forward. Covering their infantry with intensive strikes, tens of thousands of arrows flew in the air, and a series of shiny metal flashes shuttled back and forth between the two armies. The solid city wall also flew horizontally than the upper bricks of the arrow cluster, and cracks appeared

"Say!"

Hu Keqili looked at the heavy infantry team slowly moving forward and waved his hand down suddenly. "Boom, boom," a huge roar erupted from the front of the fortress, the fire was mixed with white smoke, and the red fireballs were dragged down towards the Gaul heavy infantry team below.

"What is this?" The Gaul soldiers who were still climbing the city wall were shocked. The flashes of fire at close range gave their retinas a burning feeling, a huge bombardment, and more. It was scared that many Gaul soldiers jumped off the climbing wall, like countless light masks, suddenly exploded from the periphery of the Gaul phalanx, and the rising heat wave engulfed the surrounding soldiers as if In the whirlpool-like air wave, a scream rippled to the surroundings. 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

Boom, boom...

Smoke waves enveloped the ground 100 meters in front, turning it into a world filled with gunpowder smoke. 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 irregular curves as they watched, shattering the remains of the soldiers, and the whole body was blown up and twisted. Deformed shield,

The 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, fluttering, making various rotating postures in mid-air, and slamming into the soft mud of cháo. .

"Damn, what is this?"

The Gauls were completely frightened by the violent explosions around them. Even Gledda, who had prepared to sacrifice some soldiers, did not expect such a terrifying sight. The first round of the opponent’s attack would Most of the periphery of the array known as the death squad under his command has been removed,

At least thousands of the bravest regular army soldiers were injured or killed in the inexplicable explosion. The periphery of the army has already begun to move. The scared faces of the soldiers were pale. In a series of hell-like explosions, the steel tower shields were almost defensive. Like a mighty waterfall hitting a hard rock, wave after wave of Gaul army phalanx just stopped slowly, just like moths fighting to the fire, with fearful eyes, they were shot around. Thor's shelling was beaten into meat sauce.

At this moment, Gledda regrets a bit. The opponent has such a terrible weapon and has completely put his superior force in a position of massacre. Forcibly attacking the city is tantamount to self-destruction.

"Withdraw all troops!"

Grett’s bloodshot orders, but it’s too late. It’s not just Thor who has transported the fortress to the Blue Fortress, but also the mass killers, ballistas and arrow carts that actually face the infantry clusters. These are in Icardi. The **** killer developed in the War of Reunification of the Uzbekistan broke out completely at this moment.

"Call"

The sky suddenly darkened. One hundred and thirty-five series of ballistas and one hundred and five large-scale arrow carts fired at the same time. Large swaths of flying arrows blocked the sun like clouds, and the dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops. Metal The waterfall falls from the sky! The arrow of the crossbow machine was so strong that the Gaul soldier who rushed in the front seemed to be slammed in the front by an invisible giant~IndoMTL.com~ The whole person suddenly flew backwards. The body twisted into an unnatural posture in mid-air, turned and turned into a hedgehog. Those heavy crossbows relied on powerful mechanical springs and shoved down from the height of the fortress to the Gauls below.

"Papa" the countless heavy crossbows that hit the Gauls resembled a hammer that slammed into the flour pile. In the air, countless rain of blood accompanied the stumps of limbs and flew up in the air. The smell hits the face, and the minced meat on the face of the infantry 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 and shouted forward, forward, not allowed Back! "

For a while, the entire wall of the Burrì Fortress was like a sudden eruption of a volcano, with countless arrows covering the sky. In this terrible metal storm,

The thin armor and weak shields of the Gaul local army are as fragile as the flesh and blood, and the soldiers in the front row are instantly crushed.

The Gaul troops trampled and screamed in a panic, and the rain of arrows flew like locusts, and the sharp wind of arrows breaking through the air filled the entire space, (to be continued...)
