Power and Empire Chapter 1667: Empire vs. Empire (6)
Gaul Army Left Wing, Bruges Fortress
This huge fortress built one hundred and fifty years ago is the largest military node in the northern region of Rusty. Although it has not experienced the baptism of war for a hundred years, the fortress is still strong and intimidating. Fifteen miles long, the unshakable city wall is enough to garrison the rear of a hundred thousand troops. The fortress spreads along the line of the central mountain range in Rusty, winding and rising with the terrain, like a giant beast on a tiger and a dragon, looking down. In the vast southern plain of Rusty, the huge mountains form the surprise of the north and south regions of Rusty. The north is a barren plateau with uplifting mountains, and the south is the plain of Yimapingchuan.
The Gallic left dared to assume an aggressive attitude, not only because of its strength, but also because of its backing on the plateau. There is this large fortress in front of the entire southern region of Rusty. The left-wing commander Gly Da deployed heavy troops in this core fortress. The 21st Gaul Infantry Regiment, which is full of 11,000 people, entered the fortress as an important node supporting the entire left wing. Behind the 21st Step Corps, two Well-equipped, the infantry regiments from the sturdy Kame area followed closely, each stationed in the area 10 miles behind the fortress, forming a stable triangle, with hundreds of thousands of troops spreading out on both wings with the Bruges fortress.
The scent of wild flowers wafted in the cool night breeze. Rolled, mixed with night humidity and sucked into Hukochili’s nose, the dark shadows of the Gaul castle in the distance are faintly visible in the dark, and a city wall spreading to the mountains on both sides constitutes the Gaul army. The most important defensive core of the left wing, the huge city wall is constructed entirely of solid granite from the nearby mountains and is 20 meters high. The outer circle is the rushing moat water. The guards on the wall wear blue-bottomed cross clothes and a small number of soldiers. Under the shining of the night fire, they looked listless and sat together, with weapons and shields scattered on the edge of the city wall.
Outside the fortress is a river winding around the city, shimmering, in the cold moonlight, surrounded like a silver belt, the bushes are singing in the night breeze, and the glowworms in the night of July Flying among the woods, there is a rushing sound in my ears. Everything seems so peaceful and calm,
"Bang" the branches were broken by iron boots, and a trivial sound of leaf stomping came from behind, breaking the calmness of the forest surface
"My lord, the assault troops have reached the predetermined position!" A black armored guard stepped on the wet muddy soil that hadn't dried out, drilled out of the bushes next to him, and whispered to Hu, who was staring at the fortress in the distance. Keqili reports that the moonlight in the sky is blocked by the dense foliage above.
a little white light fell on the solemn shoulders of the empire’s famous general,
The exquisite armor breastplate of the dark night is embossed on the chest, carved with a thorn flower inserted with a war sword, standing there, a strong murderous aura is permeated all over the body, just like the same demon god, faint The pressure, it seems that there will be a whirlwind wherever you go.
"Really, is everything ready?" Hu Keqili's plain gaze retracted from a distance, glowing with a sharp chill,
The Gaul left-wing army drove to the rebel zone in sequence, but still maintained a strength of about 70,000 on the front line. The famous Gaul Gleida is not a rookie who cares about his head, on the contrary, this Gao Mingjiang Lu has always been known for his meticulous thoughts and rigorous layout.
from the left-wing posture of its arrangement,
, you will find that the entire Gaul left wing deployed by the famous Gaul general is actually a huge open net. Between the front line and the hinterland, there are several staggered defensive areas. This layout can be Show the strength advantage to the maximum and form an extremely resilient defensive layer,
The infantry regiment on the first line, supported by the solid rear of the second line, can choose to advance in a whole row, or it can continue to build up its troops, forcing the Falcons on the opposite side to be difficult to mobilize at will.
, which forms the core of the entire Gaul network skeleton, is the mighty Bruges fortress in front of me,
Everyone knows that the cavalry attacks of the Northwestern Rebels are very sharp, but in the face of this huge city wall spread out over a dozen miles, as long as the fortress that constitutes the core of the line of defense is stable, the cavalry cluster’s short-term attack on the side line of defense, Can play a very small role in shaking,
, on the contrary, it is easy for the cavalry to break through too fast and penetrate deep into the hinterland, unknowingly being cut off by the rolling back Gaul army, forming a cruel encirclement and strangulation,
At the beginning of the battlefield of Central and Piazza in the east, Gledda used a stable node and a fan formed by two wings to make the 4,000 arrogant Qianyang heavy cavalry who rushed into the trap unknowingly Go deep into the hinterland, cut off the back road, and besieged layer by layer. In the end, the infantry regiment was trapped to death in the most conventional infantry phalanx by the poorly equipped infantry regiment.
This is why even the Falcon, who is accustomed to profit from chaos, did not dare to use the cavalry too much for a time. The Gaul commander laid down more than a net on the left wing, but aimed at hunting. The highly mobile fan traps of the Hawk Cavalry are spread out in a seemingly unremarkable line.
may be attacked at any time and become a cruel strangulation of rolling clouds, but this layout has a fatal weakness, that is, once the core supporting the entire defense line is defeated, the two wings formed by the core will be unable to Taking into account, unable to quickly change and shrink and collapse completely,
Hukochili opened his eyes and looked at the white line slightly exposed on the horizon. Five o’clock was the time when people were most mentally tired. The defenders of Fort Bruges were significantly reduced, and some of the sentries leaned on. Dozing off the battlements, no one would think that Fort Bruges would be attacked
As the most important node, when the Gaul left wing deployed troops to counter the rebellion, the troops stationed at Fort Bruges continued to increase, except for the 21st Step Corps with 11,000 troops. Yesterday In the evening, Fort Bruges once again increased the 32nd Infantry Regiment of 7,000 people, nearly 20,000 troops, strong city walls, and two infantry regiments that can come and support at any time in the rear. How do you look at the Fort Bruges? It is stable like the majestic mountains in front of us. It will not be breached for a thousand or ten thousand years, but the Gauls will never think of it. With the order, the 50,000 people who attacked the left wing of the Falcon Army have been divided into Dive into the forest area below Fort Bruges on three sides
The sentries along the way were dealt with in advance by longbowmen who are good at long-range assaults, and fifty thousand elites are preparing to storm the fort of Bruges. Because it was a surprise attack, all the heavy siege equipment was abandoned, and the soldiers were marching in light, light soldiers. Rapid advancement, a thousand armies seize the soul, the fat man is best at putting a sword in the place where the opponent thinks is the safest and least possible, the painful opponent's tears flowed, the Gaul left rebellion was only used to attract the attention of the Gaul. From the beginning, the fat man did not give much hope for the impact of the rebellion,
" The real goal, from beginning to end, is in this Bruges Fortress, which is like a battle node. If you don’t make a move, it is an unexpected lore. Your Majesty’s style is as sharp as ever!" Hu Keqi Li took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and snorted "Longbowman out of line, clean up the city wall!"
"All the longbowmen get out!" A fast rider galloped past the edge of the forest. In the white fog of the floating forest at 5 o'clock in the morning, rows of black spots gradually appeared
Four thousand longbowmen with 2m long bows, arranged in four teams, stood out from the dense woods below Fort Bruges,
With the command, the two-meter longbow is supported by arms that are as thick as ordinary people’s big legs, and slowly raised forty-five degrees toward the Bruges Fort, which is higher than the ground level, and the bowstrings of the longbow are tightened slowly. Slowly pulled to the maximum, the steel arrows with blood grooves were lifted up, flashing a layer of cold white light belonging to the cold metal
"Get ready! Three consecutive shots"
The longbow captain standing in the front row on the left yelled, the red ribbons on their heads, and the red leather armor that only the Guards had on them." "Let it go!" "With a loud voice, the first longbowman captain standing on the left side of the team, the first to let go of the bowstring, the special longbow piercing arrow tore the air, and flew out with a white cold light, "Woo! Whoosh! Whoosh! ! "The sound of dense bowstrings sounded, and countless clusters of arrows resembled swarms of locusts that suddenly burst from the edge of the forest. They drew a rapid and graceful white line from the dense forest below Bruges, leaping quickly over a staggering 200-meter distance. ,
At five o’clock in the morning, all the Bruges’ sentries were exhausted and tired. No one noticed that in the dense forest area 200 meters away from the Bruges fort, the white light covered the sky. Nothing is known about the surprise attack. Several sentinels squatting by the fire are yawning, and other soldiers are sitting opposite them. The blazing fire light shone on their tired faces, a sentry with an ugly face tightened the linen collar with his hands, and threw a stick of firewood into the fire. I don’t know why. He felt that the temperature tonight was particularly low, even though Already very close to the bonfire, but I always feel cold behind it
"What's the sound?" A sentry vaguely heard something, stood up curiously, and leaned out half of his body to look out. Suddenly, a white light struck, and the sentry flew out like an impact. A cluster of arrows shot through his chest, and the caster flew out together with others, firmly nailed to the wooden post at the back
The sentry was covered in blood, and his hands were struggling to hold the tail of the arrow that had been shot through the throat, and he wanted to pull it out, his painful face flushed. The shot pierced his chest and made a ugly sound, like a pile of rubble rubbing, "Bang!" Another cluster of arrows shot from the thick fog shot into his neck from the left,
The white arrow tail trembles in his throat. Let his last effort come to a halt, his hands and feet hang weakly, and his feet hang off the ground
"The enemy...the enemy..."Several sentinels were stunned by the sudden situation. Their voices had not yet been fully emitted, like a sharp blade of the void in the cold night, with countless clusters of arrows at the same moment. Falling hurriedly from the sky, the shouting voice of the Gauls stopped abruptly. Everyone only felt that a dense cold star shines on their eyes. The frightening star point is like the starlight bursting out of the darkness suddenly, with With a deadly breath, he shot through his body with unbelievable swiftness, "Puff puff puff!" The thorn tile longbow shot terribly, and even the Gaul soldiers could clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in his body. ,
The minced meat splashed, and white light appeared in the optical fiber. Countless points of blood light accompanied by the crisp sound of broken bones, the screams of the deceased before death, and the horror in the dark night, once made the entire Icadiva mainland army fearful of the top arms, at this moment it erupted like a storm. Like a sharp momentum,
"Enemy attack!" A few minutes later, there was a tragic cry on the fortress wall. It was a desperate cry. In the slight morning light, the polished steel shields of the siege troops flashed in the sun. The silver light is like a shimmering river surface. The crowd of people wriggled like a swarm of ants, making the scalp numb when the sentry above looked at.
"Don't let them come up!" The Gaul defenders blew their bugles in a panic, and the troops on the wall rushed out, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The alarm bell ringing through the early hours of the morning was like a frightened woman. Like, uploaded from the watchtower of the city wall.
"Change arrows!" Below the city wall, the longbow captains who were in charge of blocking yelled, the long arrows of the thorn tile archers were quickly replaced with thick arrows. This action has been practiced more than a dozen times. The longbowman completed the conversion in a few seconds, "Height thirty-six, shoot!"
With the loud shouts of the captains, countless specially-made arrowheads tied with ropes shot out from the powerful thorn-tile longbow.
"Papa Papa" hook hit the inside of the wall of the city wall, bounced a burst of dust, the wall of more than 20 meters was leaped by the arrow cluster, and the dropped hook firmly hung the sturdy battlement. Below the fortress, the Falcon infantry has swooped in like a tide. The cold light is like iron. Countless Falcon infantry soldiers in light armor are carrying huge shields behind their backs and biting a sharp handle in their mouths. The sword, from the foot of the city below, shoots a barbed triangle iron with a bow and arrow to the top, and then swiftly climbs up the ropes nailed to the battlements,
"If you don't want to die, stop them with all your strength!"
The Gaul soldiers hurriedly raised their spears on the top of the Falcon Army’s head, and the Falcon infantry climbing below grabbed the opponent’s spear and pulled it down.
The sharp and powerful longbow shooting caused them to fall down piece by piece, and even the shields could not stop the volley of powerful longbows of the Thornwa tribe. For a time, the Gauls were shot stumblingly, and it was impossible to form enough realism. Falcon infantry pounced on the defense, the two armies crossed the scene cruelly and tragically, and there were spears and sharp swords waving all over the sky.
"Go forward!"
The metal light of the weapon was shining in the rising sun, the blood was spraying, the soldiers who fell on the ground were screaming, the falcon flag with its teeth and claws, was pushed to the head of the city by the forward soldiers in the bursting morning wind, steadily Inserted on a city wall, making a screaming tight sound,
The Falcon Army rushed to the city wall, the dense spear tips gleaming with the terrifying metal sharp edge in the white morning light. The tip of the gun is like a forest. The phalanx is like a mountain! The number of people increased, and the two sides fought desperately, gritted their teeth, blood flew across, and screams continued everywhere. "Hoo" A piercing whistling sound passed over the head, almost covering the shouts of the soldiers. "Papa" A billowing stone bomb plunged into the queue behind like a meteor. The rolling stone from the sling tower on the city wall, A **** road was crushed on the bodies of several soldiers,
"Go ahead and kill them all!" The Falcon infantry captain shouted hoarsely. His bloodshot and cold eyes stared at the sling tower that shot the stone in front, seemingly unconscious at all. Until, just now, several lives had already been taken away in a tragic way. The battle on the city wall entered the most tragic moment, and thousands of soldiers from both sides formed assault troops and rushed onto the city road. Their crowded armor made piercing metallic noises. It is impossible to even turn around and pant. Many soldiers are blocked in front.
"Push the gun forward!"
The Falcons who climbed up the city wall held the siege shield high, and pushed forward neatly, like layers of waves hitting the shaky defense line of the Gaul army. These heavy spearmen were all from the center of the empire. Elite in the army, rich in siege experience. Although they gave up the heavy armor, they were still able to form a very terrible whole row with the heavy guns in their hands. They lined up in a hòu solid line along the east end of the occupied city wall, and the spears came from the gap between the Gaul shields. Stabbing in, the advantages of experienced soldiers and ordinary local soldiers are quickly revealed.
I saw the spear standing high up like a wall, falling down like a mountain and breaking the sea. A sharp whistling sound pierced in from the gap between the shields of the Gaul infantry.
"Ah" before the Gauls came back, they were stabbed into the body wearing heavy armor from top to bottom by a gun that was more than a foot long, and blood came out from the open wound. The spear was pulled back, and the bright red blood hole was pulled away by the spear along with the shield, revealing the panic-white faces behind the shield,
"Go ahead and take down the gate!"
Even if the enemy was confronted by the Gaul troops wearing heavy armor, the foremost heavy-armed spearmen also rose to kill~IndoMTL.com~The bloodthirsty desire spreads in my heart, crazy with spears in his hands Keep piercing the enemy’s chest,
"Hey, hey" Amid the dense metal crash, blood shot out from the bodies of the two strangulated parties,
The dense spears are like a moving wall of thorns, overthrowing the entire row of Gaul heavy infantry.
The corpses piled up on the ground, and the heavy gunmen stepped on the corpses without hesitation and moved on. Their goal was the gate of the fortress,
Only by occupying the gate, as many as five thousand guard cavalry outside the city can rush in,
The two armies fought fiercely at the gate, quickly stacking piles of corpses nearly one meter high,
"Mom, step back!" The tragic face-to-face collision caused the fragile nerves of the Gaul local army to finally collapse,
Even in the face of the **** oversight of the officers behind, the troops guarding the city gate did not stop their fleeing, and even the officers behind the oversight were rushed to pieces,
"Karma!" The closed gate of the fortress finally opened slowly in front of Hu Keqili. "Woo" The horn sound from below the fortress, there was a loud noise, and countless black cavalry seemed to be in the morning light. Playing a high-pitched war song,
The light of the knife like snow is like a silver rolling wave that swiftly moves forward, rushing straight toward the fortress gate (to be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote Recommended tickets, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. ) Bring @麵豆湯吧@TB小红鸡@神韵有意@小乐鸡@神兽老师
