Power and Empire Chapter 2164: Blood double 10 characters (23)

Helena Fortress, built one hundred and fifty years ago, and Nurem at the rear, serve as the two strategic nodes of Feshan’s eastern barrier, supporting the heavy responsibility of the entire eastern province.

For more than a hundred years, during the western expansion of the Istanbul power, sparks have been collided here many times. The most recent breach was 40 years ago when the Istanbul army attacked the city with 150,000 people. , And finally rushed into Fei Shan from here, setting off a **** storm,

After the Feishans regained it, they excavated a moat on the foundation of the original outer wall, enlarged four arrow towers, and built the fortress into a well-equipped military battlefield with thick walls.

According to intelligence, with Fei Shan’s full force in the army, the entire fortress can be stationed with more than 30,000 troops, not to mention the fortress is deep and powerful, like a beast on a tiger and a dragon, and the vast plain below. According to June Casey’s experience,

Such a fortress with sufficient strength is enough to hold a hundred thousand troops. Fortunately, because Fei Shan’s military strength is tense, the fortress’s strength has been evacuated. At present, the strength of the fortress is only 5,000, which is only in its heyday. One-sixth,

"Such a heavy land with only such a weak force, it is no wonder that it will be regarded as the first breakthrough!" June Casey snorted coldly, and the cold of the early winter rain hit his face, flowing down his cheeks and bringing it to the earth. The spreading chill, the army has been deployed, just waiting for an order, there is a trivial sound of leaf stamping. From behind, a black-armored officer stepped on the muddy wet soil that hadn't dried out, walked out of the bushes next to him, and whispered to Jussie Kane, who was gazing at the fortress in the distance.

"My lord. Everything is ready, let's attack!"

The officer's face is full of longing, as the forward army to enter the battle. Naturally, they are all elite fighters in the Central Army. Looking at the majestic but obviously insufficient combat targets in front of them, everyone’s heart is itchy. Helena and Nurem are down, and this is a breakthrough point to involve this. The battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops fight is reversed, and this is for any soldier. They are all enough to boast of the brilliant achievements of a lifetime,

"So. Let's get started!"

Zhu Xi Kane nodded, his eyes fell on the troops in front, the spear was like a forest, shining a terrifying brilliance in the rain. The cracking wind and rain passed through the strict queue, and the flame-like red ribbon on the top of the helmet of the Empire Central Army was blown neatly, like a bright red suddenly appeared,

The chill of killing spreads in the wind,

The Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army can be personally selected by the fat man as the assault striker. Although the reputation is not obvious, in the Central Army sequence, its rigid combat style is called the "rigid meat grinder" meaning as long as If it is an order, the Third Banner Regiment will resolutely implement it at all costs.

So in several wars, the fat man was always dissatisfied with the loss of the Third Banner of the Central Army, but this time. The fat man personally ordered the generals, and the order was still Zhu Xi Kane's third banner regiment of the Central Army, because the third banner regiment dared to fight and die!

"It is not uncommon in the empire to have an army that is half dead in battle, but two-thirds died in the battle. There is only one army in the empire that is still forcing an assault. That is the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army! "This is what His Majesty Falcon said about Jussie Kane's Third Banner,

The battle between Fei Shan and the empire is like a chessboard on both sides, with a lot of moves, and the two sides continue to bet on the strength of the two sides. It has reached the level of affecting the situation of the mainland. The confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops, the increased variables of the two fronts, slightly One carelessness is that the nation’s fortunes will soon be destroyed. If the empire is defeated, in addition to unpredictable turbulence, within ten years, it will be unable to expand eastward. If Feshan fails and the empire forces influx, it will be the situation of Feshan’s destruction. Both sides tighten their teeth,

At this moment, even if the emperor* suddenly enters from Istanbul, although it seems possible to shake the overall situation, in fact, it is not easy to shake the overall situation,

War is not won by drawing on the strategic map. It is a victory achieved little by little. It is a **** battle of soldiers, even a deadly battle!

After all, the empire’s ability to invest in the assault line is limited. In the case of maintaining the pressure on the coastline, it is already the limit to increase the force to 30,000. This is because the empire has control of the sea area, and Feshan’s side Fighting with the Istan Empire all the year round, the defense facilities on the side of the Istan Empire can be described as layered, layered by layer, hundreds of years of full operation, countless financial and manpower input, and the continuous reinforcement of the garrison everywhere. It is conceivable that, How this line of defense is like an iron barrel,

At the beginning, a hero like the emperor Thoradin I of Istanbul, wanted to attack Fei Shan, but also avoided here. The attack surface adopted was also just off the side, and then he caught Fei Shan by surprise. It is because the attack from the eastern province not only has huge losses, but also has difficulty advancing. If the situation cannot be opened in a short time, it is the dilemma of continuous consumption of troops. It is really not worth the loss, so Fei Shan dares to take the troops out from here. In addition to being unexpected, but also because Fei Shan people are confident, as long as the defensive line here is slightly normal, they will not voluntarily bump into it!

Because even if the lack of troops is a weakness, Fei Shan is the advantage of local warfare after all. Not only does he have constantly recruitable troops and mobilized materials, but also has a natural advantage in defense. This is a hard tortoise shell.

If the hammer dropped by the enemy is not strong enough and not strong enough, then this deadly sword on Fei Shan’s back will only become a joke,

The empire needs a strong enough front, it may be incomplete, it will be cut off, but a sharp sword that will still move forward resolutely, in order to completely pierce this turtle shell, only in this way, that is the real possibility of shaking the whole battle. , This is what His Majesty Falcon said when he personally summoned Zhu Xi Kane. The Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army was this sword! In order to increase the blade of this sharp sword, His Majesty Falcon even unsparingly transferred four thousand imperial longbowmen, who are only owned by the guards, into this sharp sword.

The order to attack is being conveyed, and Kuaiqi keeps speeding past the front of the emperor’s formation in front of the fortress,

"Shooter at the forefront"

Amidst the white flying rain, there are four thousand thorn tile longbowmen holding 2m long bows. The two-meter long bows are supported by arms that are as thick as the thighs of ordinary people, and they are slowly raised at an angle of forty-five degrees toward Helena Castle, which is higher than the ground level.

Tighten the longbow and slowly pull the bowstring to its maximum. The steel arrows with blood grooves are all lifted up, in the rain, a layer of cold metal flashes with a pale white light

"Attention, the enemy is about to attack!"

"Quickly, erect the shield." The Feishan soldiers on the fortress side nervously erected their shields, and leaned their shields against the gap in the city wall with all their strength, breathing heavily into the air. Pieces of white gas were spit out from the mouth, and the horror of the Empire's crossbow was spread fascinating. Some people say that it can be shot through heavy armor, and some people say that even a shield can't stop it.

"Slap"

With the uniform bowstrings under the city wall, Feishan soldiers felt a feeling on their scalp that they did not belong to them

"Damn it! Why the **** reinforcements haven't come yet!"

The soldiers spit out loudly inside. Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! It was like being hit by a heavy weapon on the shield, and the attack came, like a turbulent stream running through a waterfall, "Block!" The soldiers behind the shield gritted their teeth before they finished speaking, and felt a dense cold star shining into their eyes. The frightening star point was like a starlight bursting out of the darkness suddenly, with a deadly breath, shattering the shield with unbelievable speed, "Puff Puff!" A blood flower exploded behind the shield. I can even clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in my body,

The minced meat splashed and the heavy rain was blowing. Countless points of blood light accompanied by the crisp sound of broken bones and muscles, and the soldiers behind the shield fell over. "Save me, save me." The arrow hit screamed in a pool of blood, the shield twisted and fell to the ground, and the storm-like clusters of arrows continued to fly. Shooting in, setting off a **** storm. There were sorrowful and tragic shouts everywhere on the city wall, which was a kind of desperate cry.

"Go forward!"

The siege troops began to advance. When the rain fell on the ground in the cold stream, the steel shields polished and polished by the siege troops approached the wall like a shimmering river. The dense crowd of people wriggled like a swarm of ants, and the arrow clusters from behind also drew a rapid and graceful white line in the air, leaping quickly for a staggering 200 meters distance, and the archer on the suppressed city wall did not even dare to show his head. ,

The red tassels worn on the hands of the Imperial Longbow are draped in a red leather armor that only the Guards have. "Let!" With a loud voice, the bowstring was loosened, and the specially-made longbow piercing arrow, tearing the air, flew past with a white cold light,

Below the fortress, the heavy infantry of the Empire has swooped in like a tide. The cold light is like iron, carrying a huge shield, biting a sharp long sword in his mouth, and climbing up along the ropes nailed to the battlements with agility,

"Kill!" The violent shouts of killing resounded through the city walls. The Feshan soldier standing on a high place panicked with his spear and pierced the head of the man below. The Imperial infantry climbed below grabbed the opponent's spear. Pull down and shoot with a sharp and powerful longbow. Let Fei Shanjun fall in pieces, the thin armor was torn to pieces by the longbow, and the people were shot to and fro. The scene where the two armies crossed was cruel and tragic, with spears and sharp swords brandishing everywhere. The metal light of the weapon was even more stern in the winter rain, the blood was sprayed on the ground, the fallen soldiers screamed, and the human body with the arrow fell from the height of the city wall.

"Go up, go up!"

The flag of the Third Banner Regiment of the Imperial Central Army was pushed up to the head of the city by soldiers in the wind and rain, and firmly inserted on a wall, making a screaming tight sound. The dense spear tip lifted the Feishan from the wall. Squeezed from above, more and more people occupy the city wall,

"Go ahead and kill them all!"

The imperial infantry shouted hoarse, bloodshot and cold eyes, thousands of soldiers from both sides formed an assault force rushing to the city road. The crowded armor made piercing metallic noises. They couldn’t even turn around to catch their breath. Many soldiers blocked the front. The heavy infantry of the Empire held the siege shield and pushed forward neatly, like layers of waves, hitting the faltering defense line of Fei Shan’s army. Go up, along the east end of the occupied city wall, pierced in from the gap of the opponent's shield, only heard a scream from behind the shield, blood exploded, it was blood ejected from the broken wound, and the spear was drawn back, bright red. The blood hole was pulled away by the spear along with the shield, revealing the panic and pale faces behind the shield,

"My lord, I have taken the eastern section of the city wall!" The cavalry galloping in brought exciting news,

"Tell the 5th Squadron that in an hour, I will see the fortress door open in front of me"

Zhu Xi Kane's pale gaze retracted from a distance, his gaze glowed with a sharp chill, his nose snorted, and he attacked the fortress with only a few thousand people with more than 10,000 troops. It is inevitable to win. What is worrying is whether he can win the crucial Helena Fortress before the opponent's reinforcements arrive. Only if Helena is taken down can the subsequent attack be continued. Otherwise, once blocked, the soldiers' spirit will inevitably be frustrated. In this battle, whether or not the whole army can be up and down to fight to death is the key. There is Nuren behind Helena.

He is not a talkative person, and the rain hit Jussie Kane's solemn shoulders. The black empire general armor and the red general cloak became more scarlet because of the rain. Standing there, a strong murderous aura filled the whole body. The light pressure made the rain even colder. In the elite message of the Swadian Knights, there was a requirement that the commander must be serious enough, because a commander who was laughing and joking before the war was absolutely unable to let the soldiers Feel worth entrusting life and death

"Yes" sent the cavalry to shout loudly

At this time, in the Helena fortress, Feishan's defenders were overthrown by the imperial wall made up of dense spears. Blood was shot out from the bodies of the two strangulated bodies amid the dense metal crash. The dense spears were like a moving wall of thorns, overthrowing Feishan soldiers in a row, and corpses piled on the ground.

The imperial soldiers did not hesitate to step over the corpse and move on. Their goal was the eastern section of the fortress, where the two armies fought fiercely. There were already piles of corpses nearly one meter high, even though there was an officer’s **** overseeing the battle, Fei Shan The army did not stop the pace of fleeing.

"Hold on, the reinforcements will be reached soon!" A Fei Shan officer loudly discouraged. It won't take long for our people to arrive!

"The city gate is broken!" There was a terrible cry from the city gate that made him tremble,

The officer slapped a sharp spirit, and there was a faint sound of rolling thunder. He felt the earth trembling, and the officer rushed over, looking hesitantly at the location of the fortress gate, the war horse thundered forward, and the knife flipped. The light smashed under the rain, and the blood in the water line exploded. The cold light was like a meteor flashing in the night sky. Feishan soldiers were unavoidably hit and flew out. There was a terrible metal collision sound. At that moment, the screaming screams were buried by the sound of horseshoes, and the creaks of spears broke and spears were creaked everywhere, and the snow-like knife light kept turning silver waves.

"It's over, it's over!"The officer's mind was completely blank, and the opposing cavalry rushed into the fortress! How can this be hit, this moment. In his mind, the sound of fighting and shouting all over the room seemed to pause. Almost in an instant, there were only countless black cavalry, like a huge black rolling dragon, rushing in directly from the fortress gate.

Under the war horse, mixed with blood spattering, howling fiercely,

In the face of this terrible impact, the earth shook violently, and the red water spray raised by the horses seemed to set off a shocking storm in the cold rain. The sharp swords of the imperial cavalry were given to Helena With the last blow of the fortress, the morale of the five thousand Feshan defenders collapsed, more than four thousand people were killed in the battle, and the rest were captured, so that even Jussi Kane couldn’t believe his luck.

He didn’t know that the reinforcement he was worried about was when the Helena Fortress was desperately resisting. Nurem, who was placed in support of the high hopes, not only did not send a single soldier, but ordered all the troops to be fully contracted, even The outposts that were originally set up between the two places received orders to return to Nurem. Except for a few people, Nuren did not know that Helena fortress had changed hands, and Feishan’s east gate had been knocked open. /

Newlen,

It is quiet in the brightly-lit corridor. On the high spires and the roofs of the continuous buildings, the rain curtain is filled, and the water drops on the wall obliquely below the room, turning into rows of rain lines, spots of light, just like An empty theater,

Retracting anxious gaze from a distance, Glendart turned around from the window, and asked the adjutant behind him a little angrily, "Are all the troops transferred back? There are 5,000 people in Helena Fort." , It should be able to support a little time, we must immediately **** those distinguished persons away"

"The four squadrons have been transferred~IndoMTL.com~ is one-half of our strength, just to **** those people, is this really no problem?" The adjutant hesitated for a while, frowned and asked. My lord, do you really pay no attention to Fort Helena? Once Fort Helena falls, we will be Nurem next!"

"Helena is gone, I won't die yet, if those people have problems, I will die!"

Glendart's eyes fell out of the window, and he also had concerns about the adjutant. He took a deep breath and said apologetically, "In fact, it's not unhelpful, it just takes some time. Nurem has only so many troops. I just experienced a riot, so many refugees need to be suppressed, the undercurrent is surging, and the Istanbul people are launching an attack at this time. Who dares to say that the riots were not planned by them. The corps is not full and the gap is huge, even half the normal corps It’s not there! There are not many troops we can mobilize. First send important people away before we can mobilize reinforcements."

Gledat’s voice paused, pressing his hand on the cold window sill, and looking at the rain screen in the distance. “Helena Fortress is well guarded, and there are 5,000 regular troops. The opponent’s strength is not very dominant, Istan The army’s combat power is just like that, and it’s not that Helena Fortress can last for at least two to three days. Instead of distracting too much energy, you can’t take care of the left and right. It’s better to do one thing and one thing well! Just wait until When the escorted personnel return, we will immediately dispatch reinforcements" (to be continued)
