Power and Empire Chapter 1674: Dudging Gang Fei (1)

Obaro continent, the border of the Southwest Territory, the outpost of the Ruilin Fortress

"Captain, will Gangfei really come? It's been three days, and I haven't even seen a ghost shadow!" The young sentry Mokad curiously stood on the tower on the top of the mountain, facing the plain below Looking around

The arrival of late autumn gave the whole mountain withered. The defensive wall of the fortress is solid granite. The soil that had rained heavily last night, under the sunshine, evaporated bursts of faint white smoke. Looking at it from a distance, it seems that the earth is smoking, lightly. The smoke drifted up with the breeze, making everything around illusory

"I don't know, the order given above, no matter what, I have to start jīng **** first!"

Beside Mochad, a middle-aged veteran of about 30 years old stretched out his limbs, lifted an infantry crossbow from under his feet, and glanced at a chirping sparrow in the sky, put down the crossbow, and found Mocha De was a little nervous, and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, we are just a fortress outpost. If Gangfei really comes, their goal is the fortress, not our broken guard tower built on the top of the mountain!"

"Although I know, I am still a little nervous!" Mocard said with embarrassment on his face

"Nervous? Do you need it? I can say with peace of mind that if you don’t come, you will be beaten badly if you come!" The veteran Lincoln twitched his lips in disdain, and raised his finger. The Ruilin Fortress on the mountainside said, "This is not the time when your Southwest Army is defending this place. This time, the Imperial zhōngyāng army will be fully defended. It is said that the Thor who withdrew from Rasti has hundreds of gates, and this time it is even more so. Put the Thunder Gods on the head of the Ruilin Fortress, what else is terrible about you"

"Thor! Really!" The recruit Mokad looked excited. He was a soldier of the Southwest Army. After hundreds of thousands of Southwest Army were reorganized, only 30,000 soldiers were left. Other soldiers were either To disband and go home, or to be incorporated into the local army to be responsible for maintaining constant law and order. After all, the development of Southwest China suffered heavy losses in the war. The tens of thousands of young men can have an immediate effect on stabilizing people’s hearts in Southwest China and the development of Southwest economy and agriculture.

During the Battle of the Southwest, Mokad had seen the power of the Falcon Army Thor's destruction, no matter how strong his flesh and blood. Under the power that shakes everything, it is irresistible. Those intensive assault teams, under the fierce fire from the opponent, were simply group suicides. The fall of every fireball. It all means the end of several lives, and even no bones. The jīng sharp infantry that the commander is proud of are also inevitable.

The current location of Mocard and Lincoln Tower is the highest point of the left-wing cliff of the Ruilin Fortress. Even if you don't need a looking glass, you can see the land far in front of the fortress.

In front of the fortress, there is a winding road leading to the unknown distance. This road. The most important northeast throat guarding the southwest border has left the bodies and blood of countless people. When Gangfei entered the southwest, it was this way.

After receiving the report of the successful attack on the island by the Secretary of the Navy Dusteren Khe, the fat man knew that his war with Gangfei had broken out

Gangfei has always been eyeing the Southwest, the battle of the Southwest. The Imperial Navy severely damaged the navy of Congo and Fei, and now it directly occupied the hub of Caseli Island, blocking the way for Congolese from land and sea to enter the southwest. The only road now is land. With the transfer of the two imperial zhōngyāng armies into the Ruilin fortress, two Thor squadrons directly under the zhōngyāng army entered the fortress. These are the troops that have just withdrawn from the Rusty area, combat experience and combat morale. Are in the apex state

"How did Gang Fei react?"

In the Ruilin Fortress, the fat man raised his head, staring at the huge military map hanging on the wall, and asked the southwest governor Saron next to him

"Three days ago, there was an unusual mobilization of the garrison on the Congolese border with Africa! The border guards, originally only 30,000, increased to 70,000, and then it became 110,000 yesterday, and they frequently turned to us. The border defense line sends scouts "Saron God sè solemn report

"Border defense? Which positions are the main ones?" The fat man frowned slightly.

"From Amer in front of the Ruilin Fortress to the front line of Barone, the length is 50 miles!" Saron God replied respectfully, "The garrisons in these two areas are the former Southwest Army, and the troops are not much. There are only less than 20,000 troops, but as the front line of the Gauls against the Gangfei, they have very strong barriers. The last time the Gangfei broke into the southwest, they entered from here. All the barriers are in the Gangfei. People were destroyed when they evacuated, so it is not an advantage for our army!"

"Since there is no advantage, then withdraw!"

The fat man gave the order with certainty and said, "We can’t enter the two fronts in advance. For the Gaul Kyoto, Hu Keqili should be able to grasp the pace of negotiations with the Gauls, which will make the Gauls temporarily unable to Noticed that we were suddenly at war with Gang Feiren,

"As long as the fighting time is short enough, we can quickly solve the problem in the southwest before the Gauls can react. The necessary retreat can allow Gangfei to follow up. We need to be able to win the final word, enough to make Gang Fei was so frightened that he finally gave up his prying into the Southwest!"

"Your Majesty meant to let Gang Fei enter the border first? Then defensively counterattack!" There was a daze on Salon’s face

"It's not letting go, it's temptation! "The fat man raised his hand and clicked on the map on the wall" ordered the troops in the area in front of the Ruilin Fortress to withdraw one by one, abandoning Yamai to Barone bit by bit. On the front line, give Gang Fei a little sweetness first, so that they will unconsciously come to the direction of Ruilin Fortress! Bring in all the border guards of Gang Fei, we are here waiting for them, and we will be defeated here. Their border guards then directly rushed into the territory of Congo and Fei, so that the Congolese and Fei will feel scared. They can't touch us, but we can hurt them heavily!"

"That's it, my subordinates understand!"

Saron smiled and nodded. As the governor of the Southwest, he also hopes to solve the hidden danger of Gangfei in advance. After all, the main role of the Southwest is to serve as an important logistics base for entering the hinterland of the Gaul Empire. The goal of the empire is still It is Gaul. It is not wise to start a full-scale war with Gangfei. If the Gangfei cannot be hit directly, the two-line battle will put the Falcon Empire into a very unfavorable degree

In this way, the border garrison that received the order began to withdraw in an orderly manner,

A group of Gangfei scouts wearing bright silver locks and snake-shaped swords slung around their waists looked at the empty ground in front of them in a daze. These lands used to be the buffer zone of the southwest border, and also the battlefield where the scouts and cavalry of the two sides fought for many times. The blood donations of many colleagues have stained the sand and dust here.

"It seems to have taken the initiative to retreat!" Gangfei, the scout cavalry captain, carefully observed for a while, and said unnaturally, "Did something happen in the southwest?

"Captain, what shall we do?" the scout cavalry next to him asked

"Report to the Legion Department, anyway, this matter is a bit strange!"

The captain of the scout waved his hand, the gods were a little vacant, and they reported the situation. The reply received was to immediately occupy the evacuated area. After successively occupying one side of the border, the Fifth Army of the Congolese and Fei in charge of border defense began to enter the second line of defense of the border. The sudden Ruilin Fortress was immediately placed in front of the Congolese.

The commander of Gangfei Fifth Army, Lanmia, is an experienced commander. He has planned strategic advances to the southwest for many times. He is very familiar with this fortress located in the throat. He stands in the distance and looks around. This fortress, his eyes are full of complex emotions. At the beginning, because of the fighting forces, when the Congolese army evacuated from the southwest, he once destroyed the Ruilin fortress that was guarding the road, but he did not expect the Falcon Army to take over the southwest. A new fortress was rebuilt immediately,

The new fortress in front of me, although much smaller than the previous large fortress, is like a pentagonal edge. Putting all the city faces under the flanking attack is obviously more suitable for the guards to play, and the defensive power does not drop but rises.

Although the original Ruilin fortress was dangerous, it had not completely blocked the road to the southwest. But now, this new fortress has given up its huge volume, but it happens to be stuck in the middle. On both sides of the fortress, it is slow. The gently undulating mountains stretched slowly to the north and south. But this kind of gentle extension, only less than two kilometers away, suddenly becomes steep, and the composition of the mountain is no longer mud, but granite growing with moss. The strength of these granites is very hard and new. The construction of the fortress is obviously based on the stone materials used here. The two wings of the fortress are closely connected with these granite mountains, like a giant with open arms, cutting off the road from Gangfei to the southwest, wanting to enter from here. Southwest, we must destroy the fortress,

"Order the army to assemble!" Lanmia estimated the defense of the fortress, and felt that although it had been strengthened, it was only a small fortress after all. Under the strong pressure of the army, it was as fragile as a piece of paper.

"Lamia-sama is going to attack?" a subordinate asked

"Yes!" Lanmia smiled noncommitantly. The news about the navy's defeat had spread throughout the military circles of Congo and Fei. The Emperor Congo was furious over the fall of Kasiliy Island and denounced the navy for its ineffective combat. However, the main navy forces have been transferred to the south to participate in the joint operations of allies. It is difficult to transfer during wartime. The emperor of Congo and Fei can only put his hope on the army. The region takes retaliatory action. If the southwest gate can be opened again, His Majesty the Emperor will launch a third personal campaign against the southwest region

End of August

The Gangfei army that entered the border began to gather in front of Ruilin Fortress

The lights are like stars, the hazy moon has risen in the sky, and in the wilderness, countless tents and small sheds built by branches have been erected, as if a piece of wood suddenly appeared on the flat ground, one after another. In the clearing between the camps, the cotton-like mist was blown by the wind, everything became hazy, except for the 70,000 people who were not from the Fifth Army. In mid-August, I felt that it might increase when entering the southwest again. The emperor of Congo and Fei added 50,000 people to the Third Legion of Congo and Fei. A total of 120,000 Congo and Fei troops spread out in front of Ruilin Fortress.

The fat man raised the looking glass in his hand and looked at the lineup of the Congolese Army from the inside of the lens

At the beginning of the Southwest War, the Northwest Navy was responsible for the naval counterattack. This was the first time that the army faced off. As the Congolese and Fei empire that has fought against the Gauls, the overlord of the Nordic Barrow for a century,

The fat man needs to get a more accurate assessment. The lookout mirror he uses is the third-generation lookout mirror of the Imperial Navy.

Compared with the previous one, it is more dense and distant. Objects three kilometers away seem to be right in front of you, and you can even watch every movement of the swaying dog's tail grass swaying in the breeze. The clarity.

The army of Gangfei in the distance is at a distance of 500 meters, and the overwhelming array is assembled. The first thing that appears in the sight glass is the black army flag of Gangfei waving in the wind, under the light of rì light. , It is particularly eye-catching.

Following the military flag and moving at high speed. It is a group of cavalry who are flying out of the cavalry. They are wearing light silver armor with a feather on the top of the helmet. The weapon hanging behind is not a cavalry lance, but a nail hammer for breaking heavy armor.

The cavalry each held a black flag in his hand, and appeared on the ground, the fluttering horseshoe, silver armor, and the flag fluttering in the wind. The wind entered the open space in front of the fortress.

It was a stretched land, empty, only countless dog's tail grasses stretched their bodies in the wind. The dense horseshoes of the Gangfei cavalry stepped on the dog's tail grass, and plunged them all into the muddy ground.

This group of cavalry stopped in front of the fortress, arguing in a straight line. Hundreds of military flags fluttered in the wind. It is the tradition of the military to raise the flag before attacking the city.

"Idiot!" The fat man snorted indifferently at this bad habit, which was obviously still in the Cavaliers era, and put down his looking glass. He said coldly behind him, "Icassa, kill me the flag bearers"

"Yes, my majesty!"

Longbow Banner Squadron Captain Icazar grinned openly, revealing a cruel smile.

200 meters away, the Gangfei hussars holding the military flags were elevated, and they talked and laughed relaxedly with each other, and suddenly there were several breaking sounds from the oblique rear. The well-trained light cavalry can naturally hear the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air. Immediately afterwards, they did not wait for their response. I heard a few more muffled hums. Immediately afterwards, the sound of "chucking..." was the sound of a few unlucky ghosts being shè through their throats

"Pop" dozens of military flags rolled down from the horse with the corpse,

Looking at Xierì, his companion screamed painfully while holding the arrow shaft inserted into the throat. Several flag bearers were stunned when they saw it. They still couldn't figure out the sharp arrow coming from there, and then there were several sounds of arrow feathers breaking through the air.

This time the flag bearers were prepared and quickly squatted down on their horses. Then they heard three "ding, ding, ding" sounds, and a few more people fell in pain after the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the armor. Going down, the arrow feathers directly pierced the armor of the cavalry. This time, it was still the throat.

"Damn..., disperse! The banner-handling light cavalry roared in a panic, in an uproar, and retreated loudly and cursed.

"It seems that the other party is not easy to deal with." Lanmia, who was in the whole army in the distance, looked at all this with dignity. The 73,000 army under his command and the 110 infantry squadrons have already followed the order of 1,000 men. The size of the team, the flag bearer’s rout made him dare to be a little bit ridiculous. No one thought that the opponent’s hand would have such a long distance. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger. The army is ready to attack. It is just at this moment. There was a sharp sound across the sky from the air,

"Boom Rumble"

A Thunder God fell among the masses of Gangfei infantry soldiers, and a thick black smoke exploded. In the range of the black smoke, the objects flew up, and some flew high into the sky. Then, as everyone watched, they fell in an irregular curve. There were broken corpses, whole horses that were blown up, broken spears, and countless dust and sand.

Especially the xìng weapon, the symbol of Gangfei, the snake-shaped sword, which is like a leaf flying in the blast of air, fluttering, making various rotating postures in mid-air, but in the end it is the top The next one smashed into the cháo's wet, soft but blood-stained soil.

"What is this?" Lanmia was completely stupid, and the torrent of the army's array was cut off in an instant, and he had not had time to react.

Lamya suddenly felt that the sky seemed torn apart, and it seemed that countless sharp objects had cut through the dull sky. It was a sound with the breath of death, like the howling of death, and also like howling ghosts and wolves released from hell.

Boom Rumble

The entire row of white smoke on the walls of Ruilin Fortress came out, and the whistling white light slammed into the crowds of Gangfei. The explosions continued, and waves of smoke enveloped the front of the fortress. The ground turned it into a smoke filled with gunpowder. In the smoke of gunpowder~IndoMTL.com~, the firelight caused by the explosion seemed to be dazzling than the sun just now. Every red explosion seemed to cause the earth to shake, and the continuous explosion seemed to be trembling.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Thor fell into the queue of Gang Fei like raindrops. Turning that area into an ocean of death intertwined with blood and fire,

The soldiers of Gang Fei were disoriented by the bombing and ran around, but there were too many people. The queue of hundreds of thousands of troops was all in chaos and crowded together

Suddenly came and exploded, it came so fiercely,

Directly and simply, harvesting countless lives, rolling up the hot air wave, will wash down rows of soldiers like infantrymen who throw flies indiscriminately,

There are a lot of Gangfei soldiers who have not even understood what happened, they have been crushed.

The intensive explosion broke into a wall of fire visible to the naked eye, cutting the distance between 500 meters and 700 meters away. Almost instantly, the land was filled with all kinds of corpses, violently The artillery tore the cavalry and war horses to pieces, and the horses were frightened and ran wildly among the running crowd, trying to cross the blockade of death. The chaos caused is no less than the explosion
