Power and Empire Chapter 1644: Southwest Rebellion (8)
"How is the situation!"
Algernon Julia walked up the city wall in a curvaceous armor surrounded by several guarding knights, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her. The battle of tens of thousands of people was like an unimaginable pair. The magnificent picture scroll unfolds before her eyes,
"Is this war?"
Algernon. Julia’s pretty eyes flickered, wherever she stood there, the loud shouts of killing came head-on like the waves
"Quickly, a team of people will go to the east wall right away!"
"The city gate needs shooters, and we must not let them come near! Who wants to help" the infantry captains shouted everywhere,
"The first team gets down, the second team prepares! Quick, the next team!"
Not far from her, the Archer of the Janissaries was shooting at the enemy climbing the wall in turbulence,
The archers quickly opened the bowstrings in their hands. After a batch of shots, they immediately changed to the next echelon. With the close cooperation of several groups of Guards archers, the rain of arrows shot down was never broken, and it poured like a waterfall. It reflects the good military qualities that the Imperial Guard should have. Because of the unfavorable shooting effect, the wall that was first contacted has already fallen into chaos.
can be seen from the other end of the city wall, there are at least more than 30 ladders on the city wall.
is covered with soldiers from Murphy’s Legion, like a group of ants climbing on the maltose. It’s messy. Here, no one seems to notice her. The atmosphere of war is like a tight string that makes everyone Are running tirelessly
"Sister Xiaoyu, it's too messy here, let's find Master Stanley first!" A guard knight reminded Algernon Julia that there were soldiers running back and forth everywhere, and occasionally there was a stream. The arrow flew over and flew directly from a few meters away,
"Where is Lord Stanley Spencer!" Algernon Julia finally came back to her senses, the astonishment on her face turned into sternness, she asked coldly,
No one knows that the chief of the emperor’s affairs, who has been called a femme fatale by the Guards, is now trembling in the calf. When the real war is spreading out in front of her alive, she realizes that war It turned out to be such a terrible thing,
The killing of people can be described as magnificent. Here, human life is not as humble as the dead leaves swept up in the wind. Soldiers climbing the city wall fell from the ladder to the top The guards fought hard, sometimes, the two sides hugged together and rolled down the city wall.
She is no stranger to war. As the chief of the emperor’s majesty, she has participated in the planning of many empire’s battles in the eastern battlefield, but it is in the brightly lit and gorgeous palace, which is almost audible in the quiet. To the Tongge of Fengsheng, in front of the young ruler who made the empire loyal to it,
In such an environment, she was confident that she could defeat any opponent. The forces and locations in the so-called battle were just boring data and markers on the map. She personally commanded the battle to seize power over Russender. , I also saw a fierce battle. Although I was shocked to a certain extent at the time, I soon felt boring,
But it was a battle of only about a thousand people. It was totally incomparable with the battle of tens of thousands of people in front of you. The wide walls were full of soldiers, densely packed, and the archers held up their bows and arrows, facing the secrets below the wall. The army was assembled, and the bowstrings between the fingers were loosened fiercely. The white line formed by the arrow clusters whizzed down and the infantry ran back and forth in groups. The city was like a metal ocean like Murphy. Legion, the urgent pressure oncoming,
All these sights made Algernon Julia's breath a bit suffocated. The enemy was so strong, the enemy below, and countless cavalry spears re-emitted bright and dazzling phantom light in the rain. Murphy's heavy armored cavalry was like a giant. The big ant swarms below,
Heads are crowded, and it feels like a wave of death that is advancing continuously. Arrows hit the armor, making clanging sounds. Murphy’s army, the hero of the eastern battlefield, seems to have shown such a powerful might even the capital. The walls of the city are trembling, if you don't know that it is just an illusion, Algernon Julia really doubts whether the other party will directly overthrow the city wall.
"It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to fight such an enemy in the wild!"
Algernon Julia shook her head, and a thought flashed in her mind that made her feel shocked. No wonder, it's no wonder that Stanley Spencer insisted on defending the capital because he did not have the capital to fight the other side.
Although the capital has 50,000 people, there are only 10,000 who really have the status of the Guards. The other 40,000 are guards. The combat power of these guards may not be as high as the real guards. But when it comes to personal skills, it is not weak, but personal skills are nothing compared to the fierce momentum of the Murphy army.
"Master Stanley should be at the east wall, where the pressure is the least, and the whole city wall can be seen clearly!" The guard knight stopped an officer who came over, and after a few questions, he walked over respectfully. Said
"The East Wall has the least pressure? Well, it seems like this"
Algernon Julia looked indifferent, and suddenly nodded, the guard knight next to him looked blank, not knowing the meaning of Algernon Julia’s words, Algernon Julia had already turned and walked towards the east wall. The guard knights hurriedly followed, and they were wondering what happened to Sister Algernon Julia. Just now I accidentally saw a construction plan hung on the wall in the mansion in the capital. It became very difficult to see at once, and hurriedly ventured onto the wall of jī war, but said nothing, just looking for something
Algernon Julia walked towards the east wall, and soon saw Stanley Spencer on the east wall, seeing Algernon Julia appearing on the wall, Stanley Spencer’s face was unexpected Froze for a while,
"Master Stanley"
"Sister Algernon Julia, why are you here? This is a battlefield! If there is any accident, how can I explain to the Emperor"
Stanley Spencer hurriedly greeted him in a knight and heavy armor. This woman is the confidant of His Majesty the emperor, so you can't neglect, and if it wasn't for this woman who planned the dark night attack on Murphy Lins, she would not come back to life!
"It’s because it’s a battlefield, that’s why I came here!" Algernon Julia stopped and said with a serious face, "I just found it in Murphy Obern’s study. A map of the construction of the auxiliary fort. After watching carefully, I found a serious problem!"
"Problem, Deputy Fort?" Stanley Spencer said with confused eyes. "There are two outer gates of the Southwest Capital. One is the south gate where the war is most intense, and the other is the peaceful east gate. The south gate is steep and there is a **** below, while the east gate is relatively flat, which seems to be the best attack position, but in fact, the east gate is the most difficult part of the capital to attack. This can only be blamed on Murphy Obern Myself, in order to strengthen the unfavorable defense of the East Gate, Murphy O'Born built 4 sub-fortresses at the East Gate to strengthen the defense when he was in power. What is the four sub-fortresses mentioned by Sister Xiaozhen?"
Stanley Spencer moved his gaze to the side. At the gate of the east wall, there are indeed four tall sub-forts. These sub-forts are made of solid stone, each with a length of 30 meters and a height of 20 meters, just like one. A large shooting tower,
" Yes, these are the four sub-forts!" Algernon Julia nodded.
Stanley Spencer smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Sister Xiaoying is too worried, I can deploy a hundred guards, 30 gun shield soldiers, 70 archers, and The archers behind the city wall formed a solid line of shooting defense before the enemy approached. When it was built, Murphy Obern once said at the meeting that any enemy who wants to attack the east gate must first take these. The sub-forts outside the city, and between the sub-forts and the sub-forts, the views of the sub-forts and the city walls are in sympathy with each other, and there are almost no dead spots. Any enemy who wants to attack will not be in a cluster of arrows shot from several directions. Next"
" But Lord Stanley has thought about it. Murphy Obune’s Murphy Army is a cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities, but Murphy Obune can still risk his own way and approach the southwest capital. What made him believe that he could win the Southwest Capital in one fell swoop!"
Algernon Julia said with a cold face, "Many people think that Murphy Obern built these secondary forts as a supplement to the insufficient defense of the southwest capital, but few people would think that Murphy When Boone designed these sub-forts, his real intention was not to resist the Gangsters, but to deal with the Southwestern capital itself!"
"What, how is this possible!" Stanley Spencer exclaimed in surprise, "I have only heard of defending the enemy, who would build something to attack myself!"
"Others may not, but Murphy Obern will!" Algernon Julia sneered and said, "I also found this after looking at the design drawings. From the perspective of time, the construction of the auxiliary fort The time was wrong. At that time, Murphy’s army was vigorous, and the Gangfei army as the invader was already exhausted. It was completely impossible to reach the capital. When these towers were built, Gangfei had already withdrawn. Lord Stanley can tell me, what is the meaning of these sub-forts?"
Stanley Spencer's face paled, and his voice said uncertainly, "Yes... It may be to cope with the next attack! After all, as a defensive structure, there is no reason for it to be demolished because the danger has retreated. "
"Yeah, if I didn't see the drawings, I would think so too!" Algernon Julia paused, and said in a condensed voice, "After seeing the drawings, I realized that the inside of the blockhouse is divided into four On the first floor, the shooting holes built sideways, and the spiraling stairs are empty in the middle, which is more than 20 meters high. If you carry in a wide wooden board with a width of 10 meters and a length of 30 meters, it will be enough to stand inside."
"Well, it seems to be like this. I've seen it. Many shooting towers are designed like this, but what's the problem with this?" Stanley Spencer touched his chin, seeming to think Algernon. Julia has made some fuss,
"20 meters in length!" Algernon Julia took a deep breath and slowly said, "If Lord Stanley looks at the position of the sub-fort and the city wall in reverse, you will find that the distance is so close to the city wall. The secondary fort itself is the biggest attack point against the city wall. You only need to put a plank between the secondary fort and the city wall, and then build a slanted plank between the ground and the secondary fort, which can become a direct channel for attacking the city wall. Of course , The premise is that the opponent can easily capture these towers, and for Murphy’s dragon cavalry who wear heavy armor and are not good at siege, such a design is simply tailor-made for them,
"Apart from them, who can approach the sub-fort unscrupulously with the arrow cluster, this is the biggest weakness of the southwestern capital. The only person who knows is Murphy Obern, who is a very cautious and careful person. He knows very well that everything he owns is closely related to the southwestern capital, but no one can guarantee that the southwestern capital will not be in the hands of the enemy. While strengthening the southwestern capital, he is also thinking about how to truly control this capital. City"
" Hiss! "Stanley Spencer turned pale when he heard it, and took a breath of air-conditioning. He glanced over several sub-forts again, and suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body were erected. It was terrible, Murphy. Boone still has such a terrible trick to attack the city wall with cavalry. How did this guy come out?
As Algernon Julia said, if the opponent builds a bridge between the secondary fort and the city wall that is large enough to pass the horse, then countless cavalry wearing Murphy’s dragon armor can swarm in from the four secondary forts. Unprepared, facing the heavily armored Murphy Cavalry, the Janissaries were only slaughtered.
"Although I don't want to say it, but let's prepare early!" Algernon Julia glanced at the calmest east wall at present, and sighed. "It's really admirable design, named as General Murphy Oben. Sure enough, what makes people feel helpless is, even if we see through it, what can we do? The four sub-forts are all built with solid stones, which cannot be demolished in a short period of time. Even if they are burned, they are useless. They are four huge siege bridge piers, which are enough for heavy cavalry to rush up to the city wall. Support point. I believe that at this moment, Murphy O'Brien's attack on the other side is just to attract our attention, and the real ultimate move is actually here! "
" Sister Julia is willing to risk her death to explain Murphy Obern’s conspiracy. On behalf of the Guards, I am deeply grateful for "Stanley Spencer paid a military salute to Algernon Julia with a solemn look." I believe This place will soon become the most tragic battlefield. Please take care of Xiaojun first! Although Murphy's dragon cavalry is strong, but it is not without opponents, don't forget that Xiaojun, we also have ten thousand guards and heavy cavalry. , The real encounter on a narrow road, it is still unknown who will die!"
" come, immediately summon all the guards to ride!" Stanley Spencer turned and shouted to the messenger
At this moment, "a bright electric flash across the sky, a large number of Murphy Dragoons emerged from the white rain curtain in the distance," woo woo "The bugle resounded through the rain-filled sky, Murphy The dragon cavalry clusters are like high tide water, approaching the four sub-forts protruding out of the city wall, like a wave crashing and dissipating into fragments, and another larger wave will follow, "Shoot!" "The guards in the secondary fort were obviously frightened. They were stunned at the sudden emergence of a large number of cavalry, flustered arrows pouring down from the secondary fort, but for the heavy cavalry coming like a landslide, the rain curtain formed by the arrows They bounced off like they hit the wall,
"Stupid! If the bow and arrow are effective on Murphy's Dragon Armor, what qualifications does Murphy's Dragon Cavalry have to be called Breaking Cavalry!"
At the top of the mountain not far away, Murphy Obern was riding on a pure white horse, wearing purple ornate armor, and Murphy’s army flag fluttered behind him, and the rain hit him coldly. On his face, flowing along the gaps in the cavalry armor to the ground, under his sight, the first group of heavy cavalry crossed the distance of 100 meters from the deputy fort,
"Stanley Spencer, I want to peel you off your skin and bones to get rid of my heart!"
Murphy Obune's face was sullen, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth finally turned into a cheerful smile. The other party must have never thought that what he really depends on is actually these sub-forts outside the city. In the sky, the densely packed Murphy regiment under the city followed the order like the sea of high tide, approaching the several sub-forts protruding out of the city wall, like a wave crashing and dissipating into fragments, and another larger wave followed,
"Go forward!"
The courageous voices of the captains of Murphy’s legion knights resounded across the battlefield. Under their voices like steel, the siege formation of 14,000 Murphy’s dragon cavalry was like a parallel line of huge advances. He relentlessly submerged the front sub-fortress, and ten crashers with beech wood suspended in the rear were pushed forward slowly in the rain and cement~IndoMTL.com~The beech wood was hard and the front was covered with metal iron. Head, these siege vehicles quickly smashed through the gate of the deputy fort,
The imperial guards in the deputy fort fired desperately, but there was no effect at all. The Murphy Dragon Cavalry was originally one of the three heavy cavalry of the Gaul Empire, although this time they had to dismount and fight in order to attack the city. The cavalry of the cavalry has subtracted the inner armor in advance, but the external cavalry heavy armor is enough to resist the penetration of ordinary arrow clusters, but the advancing speed is slower,
Soon, ten huge wooden boards were built between the auxiliary fort and the ground, building a wide bridge, and then the auxiliary fort and the city wall.
"Stay steady, don't run! "At this moment, even if the stupid person looks at the cavalry gathered below, he knows what the other party wants to do,
The guards on the city wall are in chaos. You can see a large number of spearmen lining up in a panic. Behind the steel shield wall, countless spears rising like a forest are slowly lowering from the shield gap. , Leaning directly on the heavy shoulder guard of the heavy infantry in the front row, the sharp tip of the spear cuts the falling rain into water droplets,
Among the silent sounds, there are only the sound of heavy rain falling and the sound of heavy cavalry horses rushing,
" Have you found out now? It’s too late! Today I will make the southwestern capital the first city captured by the cavalry!" Murphy Obern’s mouth showed a sneer of disdain, and he pulled out his own. Sabre, loudly commanded "The whole team rushed to the city wall!"
