Power and Empire Chapter 1667: Empire vs. Empire (6)
Left wing of the Gaul Army, Bururì 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 fearsome. The five-mile thick and 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 of Rusty, winding and rising with the terrain, like a huge beast on a tiger and a dragon, and the vast Rusty below the tiger’s eyes. In the southern plains, huge mountains form the surprise of the north and south regions of the Rusty area. The north is a barren plateau with uplifting mountains, and the south is a plain of Pingchuan.
The reason why Gaul’s left wing dared to be aggressive is not only because of its strong military 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 Gledda Arranged heavily in this core fortress. The 21st Gaul Infantry Regiment, which is full of 11,000 people, is stationed in the fortress. It serves as an important node supporting the entire left wing. Behind the 21st Step Corps, there are two equipments. Good, the infantry regiments from the sturdy Kamei area followed closely, each stationed in the area 10 miles behind the fortress, forming a solid triangle, with hundreds of thousands of troops spreading out on the two wings of the Burrì fortress.
The scent of wild flowers wafts 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 made entirely of the sturdy granite of the nearby mountains. It is 20 meters high. The outer circle is a moat with rapid water flow. The guards on the wall wear blue-bottomed cross clothes. A small number of soldiers are in the night. Under the shining of the fire, it seemed that they were sitting together without jealousy, with weapons and shields lying loosely on the edge of the city wall.
Outside the fortress is a river that circulates around the city, shimmering, in the cold moonlight, surrounded like a silver belt, trees singing in the night breeze, glowing insects in the night of July Flying in the woods, there is a rushing torrent in my ears. Everything seems so peaceful and calm,
"Pap" the branches were broken by iron boots, and there was a trivial stomping on the leaves. 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 chest of the beautiful armor breastplate floats in the dark as night. Carved with a thorn flower with a war sword inserted, the whole person stands there, and a strong murderous aura is permeated all over the body, just like the same demon god. The slight coercion seems to make a whirlwind even wherever you go.
"Really, is everything ready?" Hu Keqili's plain gaze retracted from a distance, glowing with a sharp chill.
Gaul’s left-wing army drove to the rebel zone in sequence, but still maintained a strength of about 70,000 troops on the front line. The famous Gaul, Gleda, is not a rookie who cares nothing about his head. On the contrary, this famous Gaul has always been well-known for his careful thoughts and rigorous arrangement.
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 increase the strength of the troops. The advantage is displayed to the maximum, forming a very tough defense 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 accumulate its troops, forcing the Falcons on the opposite side to be difficult to mobilize at will.
The core of the entire network skeleton of the Gaul is the majestic fortress in front of it,
Everyone knows that the cavalry attacks of the Northwestern Rebels are very sharp, but facing 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 quickly and go deep into the hinterland, unknowingly being cut off by the reeling 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 Going deep into the hinterland, cutting off the back roads, besieging them, and finally being trapped by the most conventional infantry phalanx by a local infantry regiment that is not well equipped.
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 placed more than a net on the left wing, but aimed at hunting. The highly mobile fan traps of the eagle cavalry are spread out in a seemingly unremarkable line.
At any time, because of an attack, it may 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,
Hukoqili opened his eyes and looked at the white line slightly exposed on the horizon. Five o'clock was the time when people were the most tired of the gods. The defenders of Burrì Fort were significantly reduced, and some of the sentries depended on them. Dozing off on the battlements, no one would think that Burrì Fort would be attacked
As the most important node, when the Gaul left wing deployed troops to counter the rebellion, the troops stationed at Fort Brurì continued to increase, except for the 21st Step Corps with 11,000 troops. Yesterday In the evening, Fort Burr added another 7,000-man 32nd Infantry Regiment, with a strength of nearly 20,000. The strong city walls, two infantry regiments that can come and support at any time in the rear, how do you look at Burr Burr 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 Burrì Fort on three sides
The sentries along the way were dealt with in advance by longbowmen who were good at long-range attacks. Fifty thousand jīng sharp prepared to storm Fort Burrì. Because it was a surprise attack, all the heavy siege equipment was abandoned. The soldiers were all marching lightly. The soldiers are advancing rapidly, and the army is conquering the soul. The fat man is best at being the safest in the opponent. A sword was pierced in the most impossible place, and the painful opponent burst into tears. The Gaul's left-wing rebellion was just an illusion to attract the attention of the Gauls. From the beginning, the fat man did not give much influence to the rebellion. Hope,
"The real goal, from beginning to end, is in this fortress of Bururì, which is like a battle node. If you don't take a shot, it is an unexpected lore, and 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 longbowmen in line!" 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 thorn-wa longbowmen with 2m long bows, arranged in four teams, stood out from the dense woods below Fort Danbru.
According to the command, the two-meter longbow is supported by arms that are as thick as the thighs of ordinary people, and slowly raises it forty-five degrees toward the Burrì Castle, which is higher than the ground level, and the bowstring of the longbow is slowly tightened. Pulled to the maximum. The steel arrows with blood grooves are all lifted up, flashing with a pale white light belonging to the cold metal
"Prepare! Sanlian shè"
The longbow captain standing in the front row on the left yelled, the red tassels on their heads, and the red leather armor that only the Guards had. "Let!" With a loud voice, the longbowman captain standing on the left side of the team was the first. The first one to let go of the bowstring, the special longbow piercing arrow tore the air, and flew out with a white cold light, "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!" The sound of the dense bowstring sounded, and countless clusters of arrows seemed to come from The swarms of locusts suddenly violent at the edge of the forest, traversed a rapid and graceful white line from the dense forest below Buru, and quickly leapt a staggering 200 meters distance.
At five o'clock in the morning, all the Buruburg sentries were exhausted and tired. No one noticed that the white light was overwhelming in the dense forest area 200 meters away from the Buruburg. On the walls of the Buru Fortress, the Gauls were uncomfortable. 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 ugly face tightened the linen collar with his hands, and threw a stick of firewood into the fire. For some reason, he felt that the temperature tonight was extremely low. Even though it’s very close to the bonfire, it always feels cold behind you
"What sound?" A sentry vaguely heard something. He 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. The arrow cluster shè pierced his chest, and the caster flew out together with others, firmly nailed to the wooden pillar behind
The sentry was covered in blood, and with both hands he held the tail of the arrow that passed through his throat, trying to pull it out, his painful face turned red. The chest pierced by shè made an unpleasant noise, like a pile of rubble rubbing, "Bang!" Another cluster of arrows shè out of the thick fog shè into his neck from the left,
Bai Sè's arrow quivered 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. The sky fell quickly, and the shouts of the Gauls came to an abrupt end. Everyone only felt a dense cold star illuminate their eyes. The intimidating star point resembled the starlight bursting out of the darkness suddenly, carrying a deadly effect. The breath passed through his body with unbelievable swiftness, "Puff puff puff!" The thorn tile longbow threw the horribly, even allowing the Gaul soldiers to clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in his body.
The minced meat splashes, and the white light glows slightly 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, a sad and tragic cry sounded on the fortress wall. It was a desperate cry. In the faint morning light, the polished steel shields of the siege troops flashed in the sun. The silver light is like a layer of sparkling 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 garrison blew the bugle in a panic, and the troops on the wall ran out in a hurry, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The jǐng bell that resounded in the early morning was like a frightened woman. Like a human, uploaded from the watchtower of the city wall.
"Change arrows!" Below the city wall, the longbow captains who were in charge of blocking shouted, 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, she!"
With the loud shouts of the captains, countless specially-made arrowheads tied with rope came out of the powerful thorn-tile longbow.
The "Papa Papa" hook hit the inside of the wall of the city wall, and a burst of dust bounced up. The two-odd-meter city wall was leaped by the arrow cluster, and the dropped hook firmly hung the strong battlement. Below the fortress, the Falcon Army infantry has swooped in like chao water. The cold light is like iron. Numerous Falcon infantry soldiers in light armor are carrying huge shields behind their backs, biting sharp long swords in their mouths, and using bows and arrows from the foot of the city to shè upwards with barbed hooks. And then climb up along the ropes nailed to the battlements with dexterity,
"If you don't want to die, stop them with all your strength!"
The Gaul soldiers hurriedly held 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.
Sharp and powerful longbow hits. Let them fall down piece by piece, even the shield could not stop the strong longbow of the thornwa tribe. For a time, the Gaul were swayed by the stray. It was impossible to form a strong enough defense. The Falcon infantry swooped forward, and the two armies crossed the scene cruelly and tragically. There were spears and sharp swords waving all over the sky.
"Go forward!"
The metal light of the weapon gleamed in the rising sun, the blood was spraying, and the fallen soldiers screamed. The falcon flag with its teeth and dancing claws was pushed up to the head of the city by the forward soldiers in the bursting morning breeze, firmly inserted on a city wall, making a screaming tight sound,
The Falcon Army rushing to the city wall, the dense spear tips are in the white morning light, flashing the terrifying edge of metal. 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,'pop', a round slingshot, plunged into the queue behind like a meteor, the rolling stones from the sling tower on the city wall, On the bodies of several soldiers, a **** road was crushed,
"Go ahead and kill them all!" The Falcon infantry captain shouted hoarsely. His bloodshot and cold eyes stared at the sling tower that was thrown out in front of him, and he didn't seem to realize it at all. Just now, several lives were taken away in a tragic way. The fierce battle on the city wall entered the most tragic moment, and thousands of soldiers from both sides formed assault troops and swarmed up 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 Falcon Army who climbed up the city wall held the siege shield high and pushed forward neatly, like waves hitting the swaying defense line of the Gaul army. These heavy spearmen were all from the Empire The jīng sharp in the zhōngyāng army has rich experience in siege. 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 thick line along the eastern end of the occupied city wall. Entering, the advantages of experienced soldiers and ordinary local soldiers are quickly revealed.
I saw the spear standing high like a wall and falling down like a mountain breaking the sea. A sharp whistling sound pierced in from the gap between the shields of the Gaul infantry.
The Gaul behind "Ah" before he could react, he was stabbed into the body wearing heavy armor from top to bottom by a gun that was more than a foot long, and blood was sprayed 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 heavy pikemen in the forefront also rose to kill, the bloodthirsty ** spread in the heart, and the spears in his hands kept piercing the enemy's chest in madness ,
"Hey, hey" amid the dense metal crash, blood rushed out of the bodies of the two strangulated parties,
The dense spears are like a moving wall of thorns~IndoMTL.com~ Overthrow the entire platoon of Gaul heavy infantry,
The corpses were piled up all over the ground, and the heavy gunners 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 **** supervision of the officers behind, the troops guarding the city gates did not stop their fleeing, and even the officers behind the war were rushed to pieces.
"Karma!" The closed gate of the fortress finally slowly opened in front of Hu Keqili. "Woo" The horn sound from below the fortress, there was a loud bang, and countless black cavalry were like in the morning light. A high-pitched and passionate war hymn was played in the middle,
Snow-like blade light is like a silver sè billowing swiftly turning forward, rushing straight towards the fortress gate (to be continued...)
