Power and Empire Chapter 1677: Road to War (3)
"Woohoooo—"
The sky is vast and the sun in winter is almost no temperature. Instead, the vigorous north wind seems to be more in line with the sight in front of us. The ground of Lisbon that has just fallen snow is white, but at this moment, under the city of Lisbon, it is surrounded by countless people. Full,
"Assemble, take the Lisbon Tortoise!"
The desolate battle horn is raging in the wind, like the wind that has passed through the gap between the two armies for thousands of years.
The smell of blood is spreading, and it seems to indicate that the cruel war has been a monster that devours human flesh and blood from its birth, with thirty-eight inhuman squadron flags, in the bursting morning breeze. With a popping sound, the densely packed infantry line lined up 500 meters in front of Lisbonto
The mixed queue of walking and riding is still constantly emerging from the mountain forest outside the city
The rumble of hooves and footsteps resounded across the earth, the cavalry lifted up a yellow dusty mist, the blue army of Gang Fei, and the flying Gang Fei Crusaders, like a huge ocean wave, in Lisbon with a thin black sè. Gathering in front of the city wall, this half-ruined city can be submerged at any time,
"Legion commander, I think the generalists must be frightened. They can just make a push and attack directly!" The 27-year-old Gangfei 7th Infantry Regiment Commander Akadler was riding on the horse. , Looked at the general defenders running back and forth on the city wall of Lisbon in the distance. Some gods said impatiently that it makes sense for him to call Remchat the commander of the army. After special approval from the Ministry of Military Affairs, in order to deal with general People’s rebellion, the anti-insurgency army gathered by the Ministry of Military Affairs authorized Remshat to be temporarily organized as the 10th Gang Fei Crusade Corps,
The commander of the corps is served by the senior officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs Remchat. It is mainly composed of the original 11,000 garrison and a 30,000 local infantry regiment reinforced from the country, with a total strength of 40,000. According to intelligence, there are less than 20,000 general rebels in the city.
Remshat gently swings his whip in his hand leisurely, staring at the Lisbonto wall in the distance. With a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth, at the position of Remshat’s main formation, the super-large red iron Crusader flag with a width of five meters is particularly eye-catching.
With this military flag as the center, a huge array of 40,000 military troops spread out to both sides, like metal long swords spaced apart, is ready to go, and is ready to support the city wall in front of Lisbon. It was riddled with holes in an instant.
"The two-to-one military comparison is really a battle without suspense!"
Remshat curled his lips slightly, a frightening chill flashed in his pale blue eyes. Although the legion has just gone through a long journey, it should be enough to deal with such miscellaneous soldiers! The general garrison above was obviously frightened by such a mighty army, and the soldiers on the garrison moved back and forth like ants.
Scattered queues, spooky arrays of guns were erected on the city walls, a mess of city defense equipment was crowded and pushed up, and several nondescript general old-fashioned military flags were flying in the sun without death. I know it is a typical improvised unit, but it is. The idiot, the Duke of Universal set, has been under his supervision for six years, and he almost wanted to sell the last pair of underwear in embarrassment. For the rapid recruitment of rebels, such a high-burning matter, it is already very good to be able to pull out this batch.
"Legion commander, rest assured. In less than half a day, we will be able to enter the city and kill all these ordinary people!" Infantry commander Akadeli respectfully raised the whip in his hand and said with confidence.
"Then don't waste time!" Remchat smiled, raising his whip. Loudly ordered "first, fifth, seventh. Eleventh...heavy infantry out! Target, Lisboa!"
As the order was issued, a messenger cavalry with a blue and red flag on his back. Just like a cluster of arrows, with the bursting wind of the battlefield, galloping past the army formation of the Gang and Fei people, several groups of Gang Fei heavy infantry, who were called by their names, marched from the army in order. Step forward, shouting "Heavy Infantry Out!"
The dust is flying like a long metal wall that suddenly rises,
These heavy infantrymen are wearing heavy scales and heavy armor specially made by the Gangfei army. Their main weapons are heavy spears and melee hatchets. The outside of their right arm is a shield made of jīng iron, which is huge and can completely cover people. So when I walk around, it’s exactly like an iron wall is moving
Wearing a pointed helmet with sideburns on his head, the entire face is covered by a metal visor. Only in the eye position, there is a cross-shaped crack that can be seen outside. On the outer white drape of the armor, there is a huge cross painted with red
Blood Cross!
This is the symbol of the sacred European Empire. The Congolese and Fei empires have always regarded themselves as descendants of the great empire at the time, so they have also inherited this symbol, but for the enemies of Congo, the blood cross The meaning is obviously more profound,
This represents the red blood cross of slaughter, looting, and destruction, causing the Duke of Putao who stood on the wall to tremble slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were heavily pinched on the battlements. The Duke of Putao was too much. Hard, the knuckles turn white,
At the time when the Lanmian Army broke through Lisbonto, it was the red blood cross heavy infantry that was also sent to lead the battle. The horror of this heavy infantry is still fresh in the memory of the Duke of Putao. The army of the Duchy of Putao is here. In front of professional butchers, they are harvested like slices of wheat. Arrow clusters hit these butchers with almost no effect. At most, ordinary light weapons will pierce the first layer of scales outside, and then they will be cut by the second layer. Blocked by the barrel armor, many ordinary soldiers were killed in this way. With only 5,000 blood-crossed heavy infantry, they easily defeated their 15,000 defenders.
Pu Tau’s resistance to Congo and Fei fell within a short period of less than a week. The Congo and Fei army invaded the city and brutally ransacked the entire capital of the Principality. The entire capital was looted, worth thirty thousand. Six thousand Lisbon trustees died because of this plunder!
"Go ahead and kill all the living creatures you can see in front!" The heavy infantry captains of Gangfei screamed loudly. At a distance of 200 meters from the city wall, these infantry captains with blue cloaks were neatly drawn. The commander stabbed the sword in his hand, and the soldiers followed closely behind. With all kinds of encouragement, the soldiers' eyes began to change from being cozy to a feverish, bloodthirsty luster
The heavy infantry of the eight squadrons marched head-to-head, waving their battle flags, and there was a thunderous roar. The infantry phalanx formed an offensive echelon. As if a torrent of steel began to roll forward, the front was shining with the metallic light of an armored shield and a long spear, and the momentum of the offensive was surging like a tsunami, unstoppable like an avalanche,
The blue armor is like a huge wave, wrapped in a whole row of sharp infantry lances, flashing awe-inspiring cold light in the morning sun, and rushing towards the city walls of Lisbon with an overwhelming momentum.
"Oh my God, let's run quickly, I said long ago. We can't resist the Gangster! We still have the island chain, it's safe there!"
The King Raphael, who was standing next to the Duke of Putao, was scared by the sight below, crying and screaming with a miserable look. As soon as he was still 300 meters away, he had already begun to retreat, 250 meters, The guy's legs trembled like twists, 200 meters, if it weren't for the guards behind him half-detained. This guy of the genus ostrich has to roll down the city wall even if he rolls, it's too dangerous here!
Compared with him, the performance of the Duke of Putao is very impressive, although his face is also pale. Although his legs were shaking in the same way, the duke who was scared to pee again during the war, at least this time, did not run, and he worked hard to support the battlements. Loosen the bruised lips that were bitten by the teeth, and breathed the air with all his strength. It seemed that this approach could make him stronger. Finally, he stood up straight, and in a sense of anger, Lin Hanguang, the gun moving in the distance, shouted.
"Come on! Gang Fei bastard, this time, I won't run anymore!"
"Who is the one that your Majesty Falcon has handed over to me!!" Lidarcus, who was in charge of commanding Lidarkus, gave a dumbfounded glance at the Duke of Universal who hadn't completely slowed down the gods,
Although he came from a civilian background, he was fought north and south behind the Vickia Falcon’s butt. What scene has not been seen before, this is how scared can this be when only 40,000 people? If it happened to the Storros battle where 300,000 troops fought hard a few years ago, this guy wouldn’t be scared to pee. Lidarcus didn’t know that the Duke of Universal had already scared to pee.
"Not to mention the battle of Rwanda Akka, I alone face the outstanding elegance of the 100,000 Southwest Army!" Lidarcus said in his heart, "Now, let you see, hunt The King of the Iron Wall of the Eagle Empire is awesome!"
"The crossbowman is ready! Goal, one hundred and fifty-meter noodles!" The **** Lidarcus calmed down. The guy who had smuggled the family with the weapon of the famous general began to give orders without any haste. Having entered the 150-meter attack line, according to Lidarcus’ years of experience following Fatty, he knew that if the one standing here at this moment was His Majesty Falcon, he would definitely give the other side a slap in the face! It has been striving to achieve the goal of severely damaging its spirit. In the battle of siege, spirit is the first!
According to the order, the six thousand imperial zhōngyāng soldiers who were in ambush in the city road, bent over and walked out of the city road, cautiously squatting down behind the mouth of the battlements, taking their strength in their hands. Infantry crossbow, eyes move with the slowly coming Gangfei line,
"This is..."
The Duke of Putao was completely stupid. He knew this ambush, but he didn't expect it to be one hundred and fifty meters! According to the normal bow and arrow course, doesn't it only start to attack after 100 meters?
The other general soldiers were also completely stunned. Although most of them were recruits, they could still feel the terrible murderous aura of the zhōngyāng army from the so-called Falcon Empire, like ice, it seemed Freeze the surrounding air,
Every shè hand is like a statue, no one speaks,
This is a real hand!
In the general set of people, some well-informed mercenaries are trembling. The hands of these soldiers with weird bows and arrows are like cast iron, without the slightest fluctuation, and their eyes are sharp like an invisible knife. , This is the level that can be reached by a skilled hand that surpasses ordinary hand. The hand is always the most difficult to cultivate. A good hand can easily kill the most brave enemy fighters at a long distance. , So even among mercenaries, a skilled hand is a captain-level figure,
With so many captain-level hands popping out at once, the mercenaries are completely stupid
At this moment, they are looking down at the Gang Fei army, who is holding the shield, and ignorantly singing the Gang Fei war song, just like watching a group of prey half-footed into the trap, full of sadness. Poor, although Gang Fei has a shield in his hand, but the shield can play a very low role under the skillful quasi-kill of the hand, not to mention the distance of walking hundreds of meters in front, which has already made Gang Fei original. Because of the high and low terrain, the shield wall has begun to disperse. These loopholes are simply fatal flaws.
For shè hands. One mistake is enough,
These ordinary people don’t know, standing in front of them is the empire that swept across a continent.
In every empire’s zhōngyāng army’s regular training, there is a two-hour training in crossbows lifting stones. The crossbow is the main attack weapon of the Falcon Empire. Not every soldier in the zhōngyāng army may be an excellent hit. Crossbowmen, but as a whole, when holding the crossbow in their hands flatly, they can definitely cause shocking damage.
At this moment, the whole wall is silent. Quietly, I could even hear the sound of the wind rolling up the dust on the ground. Everyone's hearts were twisted together. The breath of Xiao Sha caused Remshat, who was far away, unexpectedly to feel a strange feeling. He lifted it up. At the beginning, he was a little unexpectedly biased. I don't know why, he suddenly realized that the garrison of the walls of Lisbon was still chaotic just now. At this moment, there was an unexpected pause, that kind of bad feeling, like a string that was suddenly tense to the extreme, it seemed to be suddenly disconnected!
"What's going on. Is it an illusion?"
Remshat's excellent and stable xìng grid prevailed. The surprise brought by the sixth sense only made his eyebrows frowned.
"Go forward, attack!"
The cheers of the heavy infantry from Gangfei came from ahead. Victory was in sight, the attack line was pushed into one hundred and fifty meters, and the trebuchet, which was still a little afraid, unexpectedly didn't make any noise. What are you waiting for! The heavy infantry started to get excited, and the ground slammed on the ground with accelerated pace
"Shè hit!"
At this moment, there was a sound like a rainstorm falling to the floor, like a vase bursting suddenly, from the direction of Lisbon, a black flash, like a swarm of locusts, suddenly came from the wall of Lisbon. Tilt down, overwhelming the sky, like all the stars in the sky falling on the ground,
"How is it possible!" Remchat's eyes almost burst when he saw this scene behind, when! There are so many hands on the wall! In his pupils, the white feathers of light continued to draw a brilliant brilliance in the air, layer upon layer of arrow clusters, like a waterfall, blocked in front of the shields of the heavy infantry, that kind of feeling Like a sudden rainstorm, it smashed gorgeously on the marble-patterned windowsill, creating a breathtakingly beautiful spectacle
It’s just that in this spectacle, it represents the death of our own soldiers, which is terrible killing and bloody, which makes people feel trembling,
Countless blood was splashed, and the soldiers with arrows fell in pieces. Even the tightest shield wall, before such a terrible mercury-like violent attack, was covered in the densest area, hardly any heavy infantry. Live mouth, just like a piece of live dug out in which area, the other queues are cut into several sections,
"Damn, there is an ambush!"
The Gangfei heavy infantry team was in chaos. They were shocked to find that the heavy infantry armor that they depended on the most was torn apart under the opponent's arrows. The sharp whistling sound completely occupied the surrounding space, surrounded by companions. The screams, in the chaos of people turning their backs on their horses
"Quick, grid shield!"
Faced with the burst of arrows that almost blocked the sun, the non-heavy infantrymen, who were very professional, let out an exhilarating shout. If countless shields were tossed up like waves, scream! The shè is on the jīng steel shield, and it is covered by heavy bouncing arrow clusters like a waterfall,
"Arrow car! Strike with all your strength"
Lidarcus, the guy who likes to figure out the way of fat **** the most, did not give Gang Fei a chance to breathe at the moment. The other party dispatched heavy infantry in such a concentrated way, in his eyes it was a fragrant dish. The feast is really a good thing to save time and effort. If you miss it, you will be condemned by the gods. After a few times with the crossbow, he did not hesitate to use the most terrible weapon against the swarms. Loading is very time-consuming and laborious, and it takes ten minutes to send each time,
But Lidarcus’ decisive judgment gave the Gangfei heavy infantry the disaster of destroying xìng
The trebuchets on both sides of the city wall, 30 fully loaded arrow carts, angrily sent out the biggest one in history, the masterpiece of military-industrial killing from the Falcon Empire, which debuted in the sky of another continent for the first time. Countless cold light, like the sky suddenly full of silver light spots, pounced from both sides of the defense hole of just non-heavy infantry!
The heavy infantry was completely unable to raise their heads. The scattered queue made the shield wall that they erected temporarily had numerous holes. The Falcon crossbowmen above pointed to the Gangfei people below, constantly The soldier fell in pain like a hedgehog full of arrows
In order to reduce the chance of being shè in the turbulence, the heavy infantry has chosen to squat on the ground, gritting their teeth and hiding behind the shield,
Don’t talk about going forward, even going backward is difficult,
Some tricky arrow clusters from the city wall~IndoMTL.com~ Enter through the gaps that can be entered with unimaginable accuracy,
Bright red blood exploded from behind the shield
"Ah, I got an arrow!
"Help me, I don't want to die!"
Various sounds, and soon these sounds will be interrupted by the rapid sound of breaking through the air. The massacre in front of them makes the Gang Fei troops behind them completely stupid.
No one has seen such a dense and terrifying arrow rain. Although I heard the screams in front of me, no one had the courage to go up and save people.
"Retreat! Order the heavy infantry to retreat immediately!"
The entire army of the two squadrons in the front was destroyed, and the incompleteness of the four squadrons made Remchart at the back completely anxious. The heavy infantry was his biggest support for siege. If he loses, he cannot send light infantry and The cavalry will attack Lisboa, who has become more terrifying than **** in an instant!
