Power and Empire: One thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight


   The 20,000 Falcon Army drove towards Lake Teck overnight, and the queue marched hard in this mud. When it was clear the next day, the tired Reposti finally saw the vast lake ahead, Lake Teck. There are no counts of large and small lakes. As the largest impact swamp in the central and southern part of the Congolese Empire, Lake Teke covers an area of ​​more than 50 miles. "This is the Great Lakes area?

  

   Reposti stopped the horse vigorously, his eyes swept the Great Lakes area with deep anxiety

  

   A messenger cavalry covered in mud stopped the horse in front of Reposti, saluted him, and said, "Master Jaglins asked me to ask, should I go ahead or take a rest? The soldiers are too tired. Yes, I have been marching in the mud all night, if I can take a rest, it’s better to take a rest? I'm afraid it's very difficult! "

  

  Reposti’s gaze paused on the trapped figure of the soldiers, and then looked far behind him,

  

   A black line was stopping there. They were just non-assault cavalry wearing light armor and speeding like the wind. The number was about five hundred. In the second half of the night, they suspended the retreating Falcon Army’s rear troops. They fought against the cavalry of the rear of the Falcon Army several times. Although hundreds of people were shot and killed by the Falcon cavalry, they still followed all the way to the Great Lakes with their high speed. These just and non-assault cavalry are like vultures waiting in the sky. Waiting for the Falcons evacuated from the Bian River to enter the lake area. Behind the Gangfei cavalry, Reposti seemed to be able to see a large army of over 100,000 people coming over the mountains, discarding most of the heavy weapons hunting. The eagle army does not have the ability to block the encirclement of the large army in the flat lake area.

  

   "Tell Jaglins that the chasing cavalry who is just inhuman is behind us! We can only move on!"

  

   Reposti turned around and waved his hand to the cavalry with a grim look. The rain had already wetted everyone’s armor and inner clothes. Fortunately, it’s already May. It's not cold above. Reposti has made the mental preparations to go deep into the Great Lakes region to either drag down the enemy or drag himself down. From the beginning of the whole army withdrawing to the Great Lakes region, most of the direction of the war depends on luck, but there are One thing is certain, the treatment of the 100,000 coalition troops in this lake area will not be much better than their own. If you want to eat yourself happily, the price of being a non-human will not be small! "Yes, I understand!" Chuanling cavalry nodded solemnly. Ride away,

  

   The team of 20,000 Falcons continued to move forward, spreading across the Great Lakes, the mist rising from the wetlands was like a fairyland, and the lush forests enveloped the lake, gradually submerging the shadow of the Falcons,

  

   Hundreds of meters in the rear, the commander of the Gangfei assault cavalry and the captain of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, Kavonbru. With a face in the Chinese character, his eyes were bright and he looked at the Falcon Army that was gradually far away, and he was playing with the whip with the golden pendant in his hand, his face seemed a little hesitant. Sure enough, the Falcon Army stepped into the Great Lakes without any obstacles,

  

   If you chase after you don’t figure out the situation, you will easily be counterattacked by the Falcon cavalry again in the muddy Lake District. The high mobility advantage of the cavalry has almost disappeared. There is the world of orthodox infantry operations. Now it is only necessary to wait until the rear infantry clusters arrive. You can encircle the Falcon Army inside." The whole team is divided into four teams, each with a distance of 100 meters, followed by a fan-shaped queue to search, and immediately send people to report to the rear army that the Falcon Army has entered the Great Lakes region. !"

  

   Kavonbrüll raised his hand, gave an order with a gloomy face, and gave up the plan of the whole team to follow up. The Great Lakes in front of him gave him a strong sense of danger. I don’t know why, he always feels that the Falcons are moving forward. The evacuation of the lake area revealed an unexplained weirdness, divided into small teams to search and follow up, whether it was encounter or escape. Are more advantageous." Is it really as the generals said, this is a stupid evacuation made by the Falcons not familiar with the terrain?" Cavon Bleu led a small team on horseback, constantly scanning the fog in front of him. In the Great Lakes area, his eyebrows are slightly frowned. As a guard of the Emperor Gangfei who is known for his bravery, he is not afraid of the frontal confrontation of the Falcon cavalry, but the assault crossbow in the hands of the opposing cavalry is a headache. They fought with the Falcon last night. The cavalry encountered an assault crossbow when they fought. It was simply a massacre. It is one thing to be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. It is the assault crossbow of the Falcon Cavalry that has taken the advantage,

  

   In the same number, the Falcon Cavalry’s assault crossbow will shoot from 50 meters away. Before it has to fight, the opponent’s assault crossbow will shoot over like a storm, for assaults that only have light leather armor. For the cavalry, the assault crossbow that can be operated with one hand is simply the sickle of the **** of death.

  

   Carvon Bruce saw hundreds of his subordinates who were shot over in the dark without having time to react. Fortunately, the assault cavalry was faster than the falcon cavalry, so he evacuated in a panic. Even if the Falcons’ crossbows are very powerful, but on such a flat terrain, once they are at a disadvantage of being surrounded, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced!” Carvon Brut smiled bitterly, thinking that he was thinking about it. There are too many. This is a problem that the generals need to consider. It is meaningless for a small squadron leader to think about it. You only need to confirm that the opponent enters the Great Lakes area. However, the previous cavalry report was lost and the fog was too much. , You can’t see clearly at a distance of more than 100 meters, "Let’s go here, at least confirm the direction of the other party’s withdrawal!"

  

   Carvon Brut raised his hand and ordered his subordinates to give up searching. Even in a humid environment, the mist will be blown away by the breeze on the lake after mid and afternoon. At that time, 20,000 hunters entered the Great Lakes area. The whereabouts of the eagle army will be completely exposed to the eyes of the 100,000 falcons on its own side. It will be the end of the 20,000 falcon army at that time

  

   The 20,000 Falcon Army continued to enter the Great Lakes for ten miles. On a lakeside, Reposti ordered the army to stop and rest after confirming that the Gangfei cavalry who followed were finally thrown away. At this time, the rain had stopped and the sky was dark and difficult to see. The Falcons marching all night began. Cooking, white smoke mixed with mist rises by the lake,

  

  The shore of the lake is spreading like green grass, the lake water is like a large piece of bright green jade, level like a border, brilliant and heavy resting on this vast and boundless plain, the lake surface is swayed by layers of water The fog is like a fairyland, and the dense trees beside the lake make the sound of the lake slap, pure and palpitating,

  

   Reposti leaned on a tree trunk and ordered people to bring a map of the lake area, although he used the fog to get rid of Gang Fei's eyes. But the real test is just beginning. According to the distance and time, the 100,000 Gangfei coalition forces behind him should also have reached the edge of the Great Lakes at this time. At this time, the sky is bright, and a Falcon soldier. Taking water from the lake next to him, such a pure lake made the soldier step into the water involuntarily, and walked a few more steps forward. A vague noise made the soldier stop and raise his head.

  

   I saw a slender battleship appearing on the lake ahead. The sharp bow covered with metal broke open the lake in front, like a terrifying lake monster rushing out of the fog. "This is!" The soldier shivered with fright, his eyes almost burst, and he squeezed from the lake. The pressed water splash was placed on his calf, and a neat sound of "push" came. Numerous neat rowing oars brought the water splash. The surface of the lake seemed to be opened, and the people who were resting on the lakeside stood up first. , Staring blankly at the Imperial Dragon Tooth-class battleship that emerged from the mist. Then all the soldiers stood up, and huge figures appeared one by one, "It is the Dragon Tooth battleship of the Imperial Navy!"

  

   Reposti’s eyes flickered, and the map in his hand slipped from his fingers to the ground, a ship. Another one, like a nightmare that suddenly appeared, was like seeing the light in the dark and desperate night, behind these Dragon Tooth battleships. Even large transport ships appeared, and the number of these transport ships almost filled the lake in front, as the shutters opened. A team of soldiers came down from above, and there was still a large number of various equipment hoisted from the transport ship with a single wheel, like a heavy ballista with wings spread, the Navy Thor with a long curved muzzle...

  

   The lakeside was full of people. The newly arrived troops were forming a line. It was hard to see how many people there were in the fog. Until a figure familiar to Riposti came from the opposite side surrounded by several imperial generals, Rui Posti came back to his senses

  

   "What? Look silly!"

  

  Varisian’s laughter was hearty and powerful. He came to Reposti and patted Reposti’s shoulder again. "As soon as I received your Majesty’s order, I immediately took all the troops in general It was transferred. A total of 30,000 local troops and a 10,000 Central Army of Zhongxin. Although the local army is a bit short, it has been training for two months and has been equipped with equipment. To be honest, I did not expect it. The Admiralty is able to mobilize a transport fleet of this size, and it can even go straight to the Gangfei Neihu. With the help of these fully loaded transport ships, it can carry everything, and it originally took more than three days to travel, but it took only one day. More time"

  

  "Master Varisian, what do you mean with feet in your mouth?" Reposti trembled. He just secretly counted the number of transport ships, at least hundreds of them,

  

  "It’s nothing, just holding your majesty’s license. I went to the Admiralty and searched their inventory of three hundred heavy ballistas, 150 Thors, and the Admiral’s artillery assembled with Thor. You are I didn’t see the appearance of the Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai, it is simply wonderful!" Valisian smiled brightly,

  

  "Three hundred heavy ballistas, one hundred and fifty Thor..."

  

  Reposti has only a breath of inhalation, and the corners of his eyes twitch in an orderly manner. This is the rhythm to scum all Gang Fei people,

  

   He didn't expect the Empire's reinforcements to appear at this time, and he didn't expect it to be on such a scale, three hundred heavy ballistas and 150 Thors. That is already a corps-level equipment, 30,000 local army plus 10,000 central army, plus the existing 20,000 central army, that is an empire's army, and even the teeth are still bright. In order to pursue it, the Gangfei coalition forces behind must have discarded all heavy weapons such as slings, and now they hit the 60,000 army of Falcons with iron and steel teeth. They are not crazy!

  

  "Master Varisian, everything is unloaded! According to the plan, the fleet cannot be exposed for the time being!"

  

   A naval squadron commander walked over to Varysian, who was flying in the air and reported that the squadron commander’s face full of flesh and blood is not a good bird at first sight, Reposti knew. Joseph, the commander of the Falcon Empire Naval Fleet Squadron who kills the most, is really a fellow who smells like Varysian

  

   "Well, I see, I am very grateful for the help of the Navy! In this battle, I will ask the Admiralty to take care of the river channel!" Varisian said with excitement

  

   "Of course, this is not a problem! Master Dusternkay has a special confession, Master Vlissian's order is the order of the Admiralty!" Joseph laughed, surrounded by several navy captains. Stepping onto a battleship Longya docked nearby, the swaying steering of the transport ships stirred up the ripples on the lake and in the mist. Disappeared quickly under the **** of naval battleships

  

  "Master Varisian, what does the river mean?" At this time, Reposti had the opportunity to ask,

  

   "It's the river you stick to!" Varysian smiled, pointed his finger to the north of the Great Lakes, and sneered, "This time, you have done a great job, dragging Gang Feiren and the coalition forces in one fell swoop. Entering the Great Lakes region, even your Majesty did not expect that the battle plan will be adjusted again. Your side has become the main attack force. When we dragged the Congolese and African coalition forces in the Great Lakes region, the navy will completely cut off the Congolese from the direction of the river. In the absence of heavy catapults, Gang Fei can only stare at the naval warships. One hundred thousand coalition forces will be trapped here. They will either surrender or starve to death!"

  

   The fog began to dissipate after noon, and there was a rare mist of the sun in the sky,

  

   shining whitely between heaven and earth. According to the rumors, this is a sign of a serious crime. On the edge of the Great Lakes region, the Congolese Guards and coalition forces arrived at the same time. The scouts in front of the cavalry reported that they found traces of the Falcon Army on the shore of the arc lake about ten miles in the Great Lakes. Allied forces surrounded the arc lake from all directions, so that the water was impenetrable. The densely packed legions set up the camp all the way.

  

  Flat lakeside marshland. It's boundless at a glance,

  

  "This is the mountain of Falcons!"

  

   The little emperor Gangfei rides on a red-brown pony, wearing a special armor with the royal coat of arms of Gangfei. The big blue eyes looked at the front. Although I saw the Falcon Army on various reports and the Falcon Army on the opposite side when facing the bridge, I really looked at the infantry of the Falcon Army Megatron mainland so intuitively. This is the first time in the army,

  

   The little emperor’s heart is a little uneasy, and the hand holding the rein is pale. After all, this is his first battle in the battlefield. The emperor who went to the battlefield at the age of seven has already broken a certain ancestor ten. The record of the battlefield at the age of two, the little emperor bulged his cheeks, trying to make himself look unafraid,

  

   In front of the Falcon Army’s back to the lake, there are two rampant formations. The metal shield is like a wall. A sharp spear sticks out from the gap between the shields. The Falcon Empire heavy infantry behind the shield seems to be forced into it. The desperate beast, covered in scars, looked down upon everyone there, leaning back on the lake to fight to the death, it seemed to be the final outcome of the lone Falcon army in front of you, "Woo", the loud and long battle horn of the army, confronted the two armies. There was a sorrow in the sky above Zhi, and his line of sight was obstructed. Gangfei did not find the rear of the Falcon formation. There were also differences in the number of soldiers lined up with Thor and a heavy ballista.

  

   A general of the generals is introducing him to the flag of the Falcon Army in front of him. "Your Majesty’s Phnom Penh flag of the winged falcon is the main flag of the Falcon Army, and the silver border is the opponent’s squadron flag, and the Falcon Empire’s flag. The flag of the Yangjun Army is Double Phnom Penh. It was them that we encountered in the river before..."

  

   The little emperor opened his small mouth, watching the Falcon Army in front unabashed all his power. Looking at the left and right sides like the spreading wings of a giant bird, and at the eagle flag flying in the wind, the little emperor suddenly felt a sudden heart palpitation. The upcoming battle of the conference made him both excited and afraid. , If the lone army of the 20,000 Falcon Empire is completely wiped out this time, not only will it be able to reverse the unfavorable situation, but it will also make his name known as Oubaro. For the courage, he said loudly, "You said the heavy crossbow of the Falcon Army Able to shoot through the bodies of three imperial warriors, do the imperial warriors dare not face the Falcon Army anymore?"

  

   The general of the generals was taken aback, his face changed to "No, of course not!"

  

  "Let me start, let me see if the courage of the Congolese Warriors has been worn away. One hundred thousand people beat twenty thousand people. Do you still need to consider that much?" The little emperor raised the whip in his hand. , In his immature tone with a domineering domineering "Attack across the board!"

  

   "Your Majesty's order, attack across the board!" The cavalry was ordered to fly all the way from the rear and shouted, their horses hooves trampled on the mud of the swamp, and the mud flew around. The guards began to move forward in high spirits, and the soldiers clenched their spears tightly and breathed violently. Lowered the war spear and began to advance slowly. It's like a huge rock crushing everything,

  

  "Go ahead!"

  

   In the unpredictable and impatient coalition side, it actually launched the offensive first. In the eyes of the coalition, the Falcons on the opposite side should have been tired and vulnerable. At this time, they should not rush to pick up the bargains. , Wait until the troops of other countries rush up~IndoMTL.com~ At that time, there will be no feathers, and the astonishing battle horns will be one after another on the coalition side. The whole front is like a collapsed bank, like a snowy landslide, raising a spear! Raise the spear! "The harsh drums reverberated in the coalition front. The coalition infantry raised their lances and their long spears and charged towards the array of the Falcons.

  

   "Boom!" A sound like a huge muffled thunder suddenly remembered. At this moment, the red firelight and violent explosion sparked the eyes of the coalition generals.

  

  The scorching white light shredded everyone's retina, and saw countless fireball coalition forces exploding violently at the front end of the force.

  

  The coalition forces swarmed out of the queue, crowded together in a dense crowd,

  

  In the area where the flames are raging, whether it is a strong defense undefeated in a heavy battle, or an archer wearing a thin armor, one by one disappears from the ground, revealing a swamp stained with blood.

  

  The coalition forces and their horses were blown into the sky more than ten meters high, and then smashed down fiercely, smashing their comrades into a **** ball,

  

  The coalition general who led the charge, until he didn’t know what he was encountering, what was the situation ahead, he was hit directly by the Thunderbolt that fell like a torrential rain above his head, and he was instantly crushed.

  

   "Thunder...Thunder God!" The little emperor Gang Fei was scared and fell off the horse without knowing where the whip was thrown! He couldn't figure it out. The coalition generals simply fryed the pot and everyone stayed, Thor! How can the Falcons have Thor? The coalition generals have a feeling of hitting their heads on the iron wall! If you know that the Falcons have Thor, who would dare to engage in such an arrogant wave! (To be continued) []
