In the dark night, the black river surface, only a huge dark color can be seen, quietly, only very faint starlight, the moon hides behind the dark clouds, the whole sky is gray, as if it is going to rain. The air also seemed very dull. There was no wind at all. The moist and stimulating air on the river made the patrol cavalry along the river feel a little bit cold. The river bank where hundreds of thousands of armies are facing each other, in such a night, whether it is the Northwest Allied Forces or High Lu people seem to be deliberately keeping quiet, they are all trying to reduce the sound of their direction as much as possible,
In the middle of the night, the torch was blown by the night wind, and red sparks popped up from the top. The river bank where more than 100,000 troops gathered was "stomped on" with a burst of footsteps from the other side of the river. It came, this attracted the attention of Heyan. "Watch out for the enemy!" The patrol cavalry galloped along the river and blasted the entire river bank.
"Bowmen, hurry! Take the riverside!" Countless soldiers came out of the Falcon Army barracks, and the river beach was quickly filled with soldiers. "Lie crossbow! 150 meters ahead!" With the shouts of the bow and crossbow squadron leader one after another, a tense fighting spirit filled the air. The well-trained Falcon Crossbowmen discharged several firing lines. Kneeling on the ground, leaning forward, the foot-pedal infantry heavy crossbow in his hand was slightly lifted up, aiming at the river in front, and on the opposite river beach, there were also noisy people and horses, and countless torches were like rivers that illuminate the earth. Behind the adobe on the opposite side emerges like stars in the sky,
"Line up!"
The sound of war horses neighing came with the wind. In the light of the torch on the opposite side, countless heavy armored Gaul soldiers could be seen gathering, and a cluster of black shadows appeared on the opposite river embankment with the sound of wind, Gaul The legion lined up ten infantry formations along the riverside, like a huge trapezoidal formation,
One hundred Gaul squadron battle flags were blown by the night breeze, and they made an inspiring clatter. The wide and large Gaul long shields were like door panels, and the shields were painted with red crosses. , Under the light of the fire, it is like a ignited flame. At the far left of each queue, there is a towering Gaul eagle battle flag. The flagpole is made of pure copper. The red battle flag hangs on the top of the winged eagle shape and is surrounded by the river. The wind blows violently, and the linear formation of the entire Gaul infantry reflects a very high military quality, which gives people a mountain-like feeling in the dark night
"My lord", a general Gaul wearing a lion-shaped helmet turned around and bowed his head to report to the oncoming Stanley Spencer,
"General Pyrenees! I’m here for you." Stanley Spencer stopped his horse above the river, his eyes swept across the army formation in front of him, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes. The whole 30,000 troops were used as bait. Entering the battle requires not only courage but also courage. These empire warriors will take on the task of attracting the attention of the opponent when the army crosses the river. Although it is only a strong offensive, in order to convince the opponent that the necessary loss is inevitable. His eyes are full of coldness. The Sona River tonight is destined to be stained red by human blood, but the rising sun tomorrow will witness the glory of shining on the empire
" Don’t worry! "This lion-helmeted General Gaul grinned slightly" I will let the barbarians in the northwest know that they are just a bunch of poor worms in front of the empire’s rolling iron current! Look at tonight! Heiyun, my lord, we are all looking forward to this battle in the northwest will be finalized in the hands of my lord!"
"Well, let's meet across the river bank!" Stanley Binsai nodded with excitement. A famous fighter in the Pyrenees Gaul Fourth Army, the Pyrenees Army under his command is all Gaul. Heavy infantry, known for being an empire for fighting hardships, wait until Stanley Spencer disappears,
Pyrenees turned around, looked at the opposite bank of the river with shooters, and raised his hand, "Tailor, hit me!"
"Wow" is like suddenly tearing open the rift of the storm. Hundreds of trebuchets behind the adobe slammed their huge levers into the sky, whirring, countless ignited fireballs violently in the air Dragging out a dazzling light tail, like a meteor pouring out in the black sky, exuding enthusiasm, countless red fire spots, exploding like raindrops in the sky, everyone's eyes are in the white light, and they feel an indescribable burst of light. Burning sensation
"Attention, sling!" The Falcon Crossbowman did not expect the opponent to play this hand, and it was suddenly chaotic.
"Go forward!"
The Gaul army shouted and began to move forward. Thousands of troops rushed towards the river, and the dense rain of arrows poured down on the opposite side. The bowstrings vibrated neatly, like a dense raindrop hitting the ground in a dark night. The dazzling cold light came with a violent whistling sound, and the sharp arrow brought out a rainstorm-like white line, forming a waterfall-like wonder in the heavy rain.
"Ah" behind the shield, the Gaul soldiers hit their arrows together, and countless blood bloomed in their crowded queues like flowers.
"Go forward, rush over!"
Under the strong arrow blow, the Gaul army that stepped into the river water was as if hit by an invisible big hand head-on, and fell all over.
Countless clusters of arrows shot the soldiers struggling in the water into blood holes, but no one took these casualties seriously. The sorrowful cry of the soldiers in front of the arrows was completely ignored. It is normal for people to die in battle. . But even with such a powerful attack, the forward of the Gaul army continued to advance in the arrow rain without retreat. The collision of black and red, in the mud mixed with human blood, the sound of killing and screaming mixed together. The scene is chaotic like a pot of boiled gruel,
The soldiers raised their shields to protect their heads, and walked slowly in the waist-deep river. With the efforts of both sides, the river surface was obviously reduced to a minimum. Even at the deepest point in the middle of the river, the river could only It was submerged to their chests, and the gentle water flow could no longer impulse the soldiers in heavy armor. The Gaul soldiers who discovered this seemed to arouse their high fighting spirit, because they thought they were blocking the tributaries, so now This is the depth of the river. Without the obstruction of the river, there is no doubt that the land is in front of you.
"Puff.Puff."More soldiers along the river stepped into the water without hesitation, splashing patches of water, and the entire surface of the river seemed to be tumbling, densely packed Gaul soldiers leaning against the current. To the shore,
"The spearmen lined up!" With the loud shouts, the Falcon Crossbowmen above the riverside retreated like a tide, The heavy spearmen armed with shields entered the battlefield in an orderly manner from behind,
"Quickly, we rushed to the river bank!" A Gaul soldier stepped on the river bank with half his foot and exclaimed excitedly. The opponent's resistance was lower than expected, but the dense spears in front made him shout Suddenly, these heavy gunners in heavy armor are like a pack of wolves appearing in the cold rain,
The heavy gunmen of the Southern Army are all veterans who have gone through the war. Watching the Gaul who climbed the riverside, they did not press it up from the beginning, but hid in a row behind a heavy shield, sharp in their hands. The long spear is erected to destroy the enemy's huge gun array, the dense array is like a wall of steel,
The soldier’s gaze arouses a ferocity that despises everything. As a melee arm, the pikemen often suffer the most damage from each arm. The two armies are staggered. Only the brave can survive. The pikemen is looking at one. A Gaul climbed ashore, his eyes were cold as if he was looking at a dead person, that's the only way. They can overcome the fear in their hearts to the utmost extent and allow themselves to survive the tragic confrontation of assassinations. If there is a storm, thunder and other weather, the blood in their bodies will be fully aroused.
"Go forward!"
"Forward" both sides shouted at the same time, the pikeman stepped forward neatly, and his cold eyes were filled with bloodthirsty madness. As soon as a Gaul soldier climbed up the riverside, he was shot through his head by a heavy pikeman, yellow and white. The thing splashed the face of the companion behind, countless black armors formed a torrent, and the encirclement of ten thousand spearmen "slapped" into the Gaul who was running wildly toward the river beach, as if a handle slammed into the flour pile. The hammer, countless rain of blood accompanied by the stumps, flew up in the air, the **** storm, the strong smell of blood hit the face, and the hundreds of Gaul soldiers who had just climbed ashore were completely crushed,
The heavy gunner’s pace did not stop, but continued to move forward, stepping into the river,
"Go on top!"
"Kill"
The two armies actually fought in the middle of the river, with swords, lights and swords, the two fighting each other rolled in the waist-length water, and the spears carried a string of bright red human blood, flowing down the river, the river was all red. Under the illuminated torch, it looked so strange.
"My lord, what a fierce Gaul!" In a section of the middle reaches of the river, a Denia **** knight was gasping. Next to him, the Duke of Denia struggled A long sword was drawn from the body of a Gaul soldier. The blood of the Gaul soldier shot out and splashed his face.
raised his head, the scene in front of him made the Duke of Denia take a breath of air-conditioning. On the opposite bank of the river, the Gaul soldiers seemed to be unable to kill them, holding their weapons, rushing and jumping in. In the **** water that was submerged to the waist, the crowd was turbulent. From above, it seemed that the entire river surface was covered. As a rain of arrows fell along the riverside, countless scarlet liquids were splashed out.
In his eyes at the moment, they are killed in a group in the middle of the river. Whether it is the Falcon Army or the Gallic Army, they are fierce beasts, just biting them with their teeth. With their feet, they will also display incredible combat power before they die. The Denia heavy infantry, which they are proud of, although they have the advantage in strength, was actually destroyed in just half an hour. Twice, this was a frustrating discovery for the Duke of Denia. Some things can be made up for with equipment, while some require real accumulation of actual combat.
The Duke of Denia ruled the country with iron and blood, but he has always been held back by his old opponent, Rusend. It is the first time that he has encountered such a tragic battle. He knows that the area where the opponent is attacking is actually the line of defense of the Falcon Army. I was only lucky enough to be swept,
But even with such an inadvertent sweep, the Duke of Denia’s army paid thousands of losses in just over half an hour to drive the Gauls down the river, while the Falcon Army It can be as powerful as the Gaul army, and even has the upper hand.
is enough to explain the huge gap between Denia’s army and the Falcon’s army. Needless to say, those small power countries are almost destroyed, even the Duke of Dunkirk’s army was defeated by these forces. If it is not for the timely replacement of the Falcons, the riverside defense line is like the first exit.
The army is in front of the fierce battle, and a fast horse reporting the battle report also gallops into the main Falcon camp.
At this time, the main camp of the Falcon Army is rare and quiet, only the sound of thousands of crossbows coming from the direction of the river, from the direction of the main camp, countless metal white lines across the 50-meter-wide river surface Bringing a **** death, the Gaul regular army steadily stepped into the river. People were hitting arrows and the corpses were swept away by the river. The appearance was not critical but not optimistic.
4 o'clock in the morning on June 5th
One hour after the blood streamed in the middle section of the Sona River, the 100,000 Gaul troops were divided into four echelons and appeared in the lower shallows. With the order of a strong attack, they were issued like a landslide. Respectively rush to the river water below the waist,
The five-mile-long river is completely blocked by people, and tens of thousands of infantry groups are creeping forward in the current
"Let!" Jaglins, who was in charge of defense, gave an order. The 40,000 falcon guards on the riverside sounded the sound of death, and countless boulders and rain-like arrows carried a scream that cut through the air. Flying out, at the same time, the two-winged crossbow phalanx arranged at the front end of the riverside began to shoot into the sky. Arrows from the sky clanged and hit the Gaul soldiers. For a moment, there were countless screams on the river, and the highest row was high. The Lu army was pierced by powerful crossbow arrows, and with the bloodbaths, the corpses floated up from the water.
The soldiers behind jumped over them and moved on, screaming forward,
"First battle, retreat!" The Gaul soldiers rushed into the 30-meter line, and the crossbowmen on the front line ran back quickly to avoid the counterattack of the Gaul shooters.
"Second burst, let go"
Following the order, hundreds of heavy ballistas lined up neatly in the Falcon Army’s array. The bowstrings have been pulled out for a half moon shape, and the bowstrings are creaking tightly, just audible. With the word "release", the crossbow bow screamed fiercely, and at the same time it shot to the opposite side. The screams of "swish" continued, and another burst of ghost crying and wolf howling came from the darkness. After two rounds of shooting, the surface of the river in front looked like a thick stack of absorbent paper, each of which had fully absorbed the blood of the Gaul soldiers. More than 5,000 dead bodies were washed away by the water,
"Go forward, retreat and kill those who land ashore!"
Stanley Spencer issued a very strict order. One person backed down, and the whole team of fifty people were buried together. Under such an order, the Gaul soldiers seemed to be crazy, fifty meters above the river. There are corpses everywhere, and the Gaul soldiers move forward against the corpses,
The people behind are just going forward and forward. Even if they want not to go forward, they are pushed forward by the people behind. The struggle of the soldiers in the front row has no effect at all, and countless sharp arrows continue to shoot into them. The body that has no breath at all is like a shield made of flesh and blood,
The corpses of countless Gaul soldiers rolled along with the river. It was hard to distinguish whether it was river water or **** water. Finally, a group of Gaul soldiers rushed onto the bank, and thousands of them were greeted with neat hair. Brushed with a long spiked spear, the tip of the spear was all forward, and the Gaul soldiers who had no way of retreating screamed fiercely. They rushed forward and were pierced by countless long spears. More and more Gaul soldiers rushed ashore. Two equally intense waves began to collide, and a hand-to-hand battle began. In an instant, thousands of soldiers were strangling together, the blood of thousands of people was splashing, and the entire river section was opened, and the battle line between the two armies was like a thin layer of blood mist rising.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Denia sent someone to report, the mid-stage pressure is too great, request support!" The military newspaper was quickly delivered to the fat man in the downstream main camp.
"Mid? The fat man rolled his eyes in disdain. He expected that the opponent would throw a decoy before launching a real attack. Now that he knew the enemy's attack focus, Fatty had re-adjusted the mid-range force. It is reduced by half, otherwise, even if there are twice as many Gauls, the pressure cannot be caused so quickly. This half of the remaining people are the real elite of the Falcon Army, 10,000 Central Army, 2 Thousands of Southern Army heavy gunners, as well as 10,000 Saron’s most proud assault heavy infantry, plus 40,000 heavy troops downstream, almost all of the main force of the Falcon Army was escorted downstream
"If it is really the middle section, the downstream will not be so lively!" Slowly got up from the seat, the thick armor piece on the fat man made the sound of metal rubbing in the tent, and he picked up the exaggerated eagle wings on the desk. The helmet asked, "How is the situation downstream?
"The offensive was very fierce, and two of our flag regiments were destroyed!" The guard replied
"It's almost the same! Otherwise, it's not too boring!" The fat man muttered to himself, putting on his helmet, fastened the collar of the white thorns badge and spiked armor, and slowly walked out with a red cloak like blood. The gate of the military tent, from where he stood, the sky above the riverside has been enveloped by a huge red light,
The tragic sound of fighting comes with the wind, which makes any soldier's blood boil,
's footsteps stopped at the door of the tent, the fat man glanced over the quiet army in front of the military tent~ IndoMTL.com~ The entire front of Guangping was full of people, and the 50,000 elites who had been drawn out from the middle section by him were already here and waiting. In the middle of the night, if the Gauls do not come, I will be disappointed.
"Your Majesty"
Seeing the figure of His Majesty Falcon appearing at the tent, 50,000 of the most elite heavy infantrymen holding a spear in one hand, while kneeling neatly on one knee in front of the fat man, under each cold steel helmet are pairs of pairs. Full of scorching eyes, they are filled with the desire to worship and fight for their own monarch,
"I ask you one last time in the name of God of War, are you all ready?"
The fat man’s gaze was electric, and he swept across the faces of the soldiers, and they scattered into slightly irregular quadrilaterals. The neatly arranged armors and spears could not see the end at a glance.
The silent legion only has the call of the night wind. What the fat man sees is the unwavering expectation, loyalty, trust, and enthusiasm in the eyes of the soldiers
"If this is the case, let the killing intent of the Imperial Legion go straight into the sky tonight like the flames of a prairie prairie!"
Fatty Tan Lang pulled out a half-arc sharp sword, and in Fatty’s hand, Samor let out a blast of a knife that resounded across the sky.
Tens of thousands of heavily armed soldiers looked moved, and the military spirit climbed to the extreme amidst the sound of knives, shouting in unison
"We must win!
The sound of shook the wilderness, countless sharp and cold infantry spears are like dense forests of steel, all raised up at this moment,
Look at the densely packed soldiers and the spears that flickered like snow in the night, the fat man's knife fell. At this time, a thunderous rolling sound came from the upstream direction.
