Power and Empire Chapter 1780: The turning point in the north (1)

In August, after a month of fierce fighting, the Gaul army regained the northern periphery of God and the army pushed the Slavs into Nagould, the most important city in the north.

Naguuld is the second largest city in northern Gaul with a population of 400,000. After the Slavs occupied this city, they deliberately positioned this large city as the future capital of the Slavic kingdom, so they stocked a large amount of supplies and weapons. It is also the seat of the Slav Presbyterian Church,

This time, the first Gaul forward attacking the city of Nagould, led by a new generation of celebrities, Figueros, who has risen in the past few months, is the rainy season in the north, with storms in August. Like a wild horse running off the rein, climbing over the mountains on the northern edge of Lulu, ruthlessly hit the ground below, black clouds rolled over, with waterfall-like rain pouring down, growing dense green grass. The ground becomes a piece of muddy that is difficult to navigate,

"Rumble" thunder rang in the clouds overhead, and the disorderly silver lightning pierced the sky overhead, illuminating the high walls of Naguld,

On a mound outside the city, Figueros looked firmly at the majestic city in front of him. This is the last line of defense for the Slavs. If it can be defeated, the Slavs are in the north. Will completely end its control,

According to information, the Slavs’ troops stationed in the city reached 110,000. It is said that even children over the age of fourteen were recruited. During this time, the Slavs may have felt the pressure of extinction. The shrinking of the occupied area has become more intensified.

Thinking of the tragic sight of passing a village yesterday, he frowned slightly, the whole village was burned, the ground was full of corpses, all the valuable things in the village were looted, which shows that the previous Slavs’ robbery The targets of plunder were mainly wealthy nobles and wealthy citizens.レ;思♥路♣客レ But now, judging from the villages that I saw yesterday that were burned to ruins, the Slavs have reached the point where they can do everything. Such a scene is closer to the city. Region, the more obvious the performance,

If this is the case even in a big city like Nagould, then the scene in other areas may be even worse

"No matter how many Gaul people die, does it have anything to do with me?"

Figueros' face was stern, and his icy gaze retracted from the wall in the distance.

He has no interest in the life and death of the civilians in Gaul. In order to be faster and more effective than other generals’ troops, he has never restrained his subordinates from defeating the Slavs and turning the property looted by the Slavs into himself. It is precisely because of this that his troops have the most combat effectiveness and the most aggression among the Gaul army. This is a typical Norman northwest wolf fighting method.

"Did you guys see it. All those robbed wealth should be gathered in this city in the end!" Figueros' voice resounded across the battlefield, he turned around and pointed his right hand at Nagould City "That is the wealth of the entire northern Gaul!"

As he said these words. The dozens of Gaul generals standing behind him suddenly looked bright,

"My lord, this time it’s Nagould, are we..." A general Gaul looked a little worried

"What happened to Nagould?" Figueros smiled slightly. "Don't worry too much, everyone. During the war, there are various losses, and you can cover everything with fire afterwards. Take it. Under it, the Slavs will completely lose their foundation, and the war in the north will basically end early. In the face of those who have made great contributions, I believe that no one will pursue the specific whereabouts of those belongings by then!

"Yes, whoever takes care of coming over during the war!" The generals looked at each other, full of greed.

"So, do you choose to continue to wait for the other troops to attack the city together, or we will do it ourselves!" Figueros' voice stopped, and suddenly asked, in just two months, he changed from a small attendant to Now the commander in command of the 50,000 army, in addition to commanding sè on the battlefield, there is also that he is willing to give up all the spoils to his subordinates. Some generals who were originally dissatisfied with the Northwesterners are also desperate for this young celebrity. ,

"Just give the order, my lord!" The Gaul generals raised their heads and smiled at the same corners of their mouths. Their eyes were full of beast-like red sè. This is the Slavic base camp. The wealth of the entire north is gathered here. Why? I have to fight it once, otherwise, when the War of the North is over, where can I find such a good opportunity

"In that case, I give the order! Siege the city! Take it down!" Figueros glanced at the generals whose confidence was instilled by him, yelled and drew his sword, raised it and shouted, "It's business as usual, who The troops are the first to take down the city wall, and whoever has the power to choose the richest area!"

"Go forward!" As the order was given, the Gallic army began to approach the wall,

"Booming," the sky flashed with muffled thunder, shining electric lights illuminate the faces of the Gaul soldiers, and the rain hit the armor to make a white waterline. This Gaul army, whether it is morale or military spirit, At the peak moment, the ten square formations discharged by the 50,000 Gaul forwards were bathed in a white mist of rain. The formations were lined up and murderous, and countless towering spears were like dense forests, neat Gaul. The phalanx shield is like a thick steel wall, and the cold light of killing is revealed in this rain curtain

"Is the army called Figueros under the city?"

On the wall of Nagould, an old Slavic elder looked at the Gaul army leaning like a mountain below, with a trace of anger on his face, and the black robes on his body could hardly conceal the deepness. Hatred,

"Elder Fern is right. The city is the butcher's army!" Beside this elder, a serious middle-aged Slav general replied respectfully, "The other Gallic troops are all in my place. Under the harassment of the small army units and the heavy rain, the approaching speed was suspended. Only this butcher’s army did not stop him. As expected, we rushed over without any scruples and broke through the two outer guards in one fell swoop the day before yesterday. Yesterday, even the Baka Acropolis in the southeast was smashed. He killed more than 3,000 of my Slavic fighters. It is said that this butcher must be the one who killed us every time he broke the city, even the children and women. Don't let it go!"

"The Normans in the northwest! They are all wolves who drink human blood! At the beginning, there were Normans in the enemy who fought with us! Unexpectedly, they are still Normans in northern Gaul!" Slavic elder Fern flashed his eyes. After a moment, he looked at the Slavic general who was in charge of the command and asked, "Are all those things here? That's something specially prepared for this northwestern wolf. Since the other party really thinks he is victorious in all battles. Then we will use those hunters." The terrible weapons of the Eagle Empire killed him and avenged our tens of thousands of compatriots who died in his hands!"

"Yes, everything is ready, there is no problem!" Hearing this sentence, the Slavic general was shocked and worried and replied." This time the 4,000 rounds of fuel bombs obtained through a secret agreement with the Falcon Empire A thousand shots have been intensively transported on the city wall, but today’s heavy rain, will it affect the effect?’

"Although I don't know if it will affect it, the fuel ammunition of the Falcon Empire is said to be a terrible thing that can't be extinguished even in heavy rain!" Elder Fern's face was old. I raised it up and looked at the heavy rain falling from the top of my head, and also looked a little worried,

In the North Fort 50 miles away from Nagould

"Prepare, the enemy is coming up!"

A large amount of rain hit the city wall, and the muddy water that was stepped on by the Slavic soldiers running back and forth was splashed. On some of the guard towers of the city wall, you could faintly see the black round wooden barrels that were carefully placed in the corners, Slavic hands. In order to open the bow to the bottom of the Gallic army, defending the city is not the strong point of the Slavs. But this time I was forced to the last line of defense. The Slavic soldiers stationed in Naguld have raised the mortal heart of the wall war.

On the wall of a certain acropolis, the famous Gaul Ald who ascended the wall slightly frowned at the hell-like scene in front of him.

The mutilated corpses of the two armies are stacked on top of each other in the crevices of the city walls. They were slightly white washed in the pouring rain, and the blood-stained battlements looked particularly sad in the rain. The scattered walls of the city were covered with catapult bombs. Depressed marks. In the white raindrops, the remnant Slavic army with less than a thousand people still resisted desperately in front of the Gaul army that was like a flood of water. This acropolis with no more than three thousand defenders delayed Alder's main army for six hours.

"Are all the Slavs crazy?"

Alder was holding a **** sword in his hand, and a hesitation flashed in his eyes. According to the previously designated plan, the two hundred thousand Gallic troops should be divided into four groups, forcing Nagould’s guards to force him. Gould contracted, and the army encircled Nagould, completely annihilating the Slavs’ final combat power, but the situation in front of them showed that the Slavs’ strength to defend the city did not withdraw, but the resistance to Gaul, who was clearly superior. Army, this is a deadly battle!

Although they occupied the Acropolis, Alder’s troops can only continue to advance after they rest and rehabilitate. At this moment, the situation on the other roads is the same. Four aspects of the Acropolis, nearly 10,000 Slavic fighters, With flesh and blood, they disrupted the four-sided encirclement of the Gallic army. Except Figueros's troops were not subject to strong obstacles, their troops went straight to Nagould, and the other Gallic troops encountered more or less when they attacked the Acropolis. After the desperate resistance of the Slavic army, I chose to stop and rest halfway.

"shè hit"

At the wall of Nagould, the horns of the Slavs rang in the sky,

shè hands are all over the city head, and the people who are looking at the black press feel stunned. The countless loose bowstrings bring up a flash of cold light arrow, tear open the rain curtain in the sky, and move down from the city head. The pressing Gaul army covers,

"Pop" countless locust-like long arrows flew into the body of the Gaul infantry along with the heavy rain falling from the air, and the "玎珰" arrow cluster hit the Gaul infantry's wide square shield like raindrops. The crisp sound,

"Go forward, rush up!"

The phalanx of the Gaul army, facing the arrow cluster, leaned on the wall, like a whole row of blue waves hitting the cliff, the wall below was turned into a hedgehog filled with white feather arrows, Gaul The soldiers’ corpses are stacked into a clear horizontal line, pressing up against the city wall like waves,

"shè strike" with a burst of rapid bowstrings sounded at the head of the city. Thousands of white lines once again tore through the rain curtain, and the sound of "ding-dang-dang" armor crashing and the screams of arrows mixed in the raindrops. In the sound, it seemed stern and stern. Some of the troops in the front had to stop, but more of them were the shadows of silently advancing in the rain, like the beasts of steel that appeared in the rain, no matter how the arrows rained on top of their heads, no matter what. How many companions fell on the way forward, they still leaned toward the wall like an unstoppable steel shield wall,

"Papa" from time to time, the Gaul infantry holding a shield was blocked by the flow of arrows, and the body fell and rolled in the mire underfoot. The Gaul soldier approaching the city wall immediately threw a hook to hit the wall. On the inside, the metal hook is shaped like a triangular hook,

The crooked hook bounced up dust on the wall. Hung firmly on the sturdy battlements,

"Cut off these hooks!" The Slavs on the city wall raised their weapons and slashed at the rope behind the hooks, but there were too many soldiers on the Gaul side, and they had already swooped up like chao water. The Gaul assault infantry wearing light armor, carrying a huge shield behind his back, biting a sharp long sword in his mouth, using a bow and arrow to shè out a barbed triangle iron from the foot of the city below, and then his skills Climb up quickly along the ropes nailed to the battlements,

"Kill!"

The Slav infantry held a long spear above and slammed on the head of the Gaul soldier who was climbing below. The Gaul infantry who was climbing below grabbed the opposing spear and pulled down. The scene of the two armies fighting on the wall was cruel and tragic. Spears and swords were brandishing everywhere.

"Go forward!"

The morale of the Gaul soldiers is like a rainbow, but the blood of their compatriots is spraying, and the soldiers who have fallen from the city wall are screaming, and the dense spear tips under the city are shining with terrifying metal sharp edges in the white rain. The tip of the gun is like a forest. The phalanx is like a mountain! The human head is moving like a swarm of ants below, and I see the human scalp numb,

"Go ahead and kill them all!"

The desperately fighting both sides gritted their teeth and blood flew across. There were screams and screams everywhere, and the hoarse shouts of the infantry captains were on the wall like a meat grinder. The fierce battle on the wall entered the most tragic moment, and the Gaul assault infantry formed assault troops and swarmed up the city road. They climbed up the hook. The armor on the body collided with the wall and made a piercing metal sound. The target of the assault infantry was the location of Nagould’s city gate.

After a series of battles with the Slavs, the Gauls have already discovered that the Slavs have improved their equipment. But there is no experience in defending the city,

The most important gate, as long as the pressure is high. The Slavic general would immediately mobilize the reserve team at the gate location, so he attacked the gate with a large force and assaulted the gate with jīng sharp light infantry. They were tried and tested every time, but this time, the gate was the target of the assault. The Gaul assault infantry who was preparing to perform the same tricks hit the iron plate.

Awaiting them at the city gate are the most famous northern soldiers of the Slavs. These northern soldiers are basically more than two meters tall, wearing heavy armor, and their weapons are full of violent double-sided tomahawks. , They lined up in a thick line along the east side of the city gate. There were as many as 3,000 people. They were the sharpest Slavs troops. It was a coincidence that they appeared here. These sharp troops were originally assaults. Used outside the city, but unexpectedly met with the Gaul assault infantry who attacked the city gate area

The Northland warriors wearing heavy armor and the lightly outfitted assault infantry in pursuit of lightness are completely unequal. The two are completely suppressed. The Northland warriors rush into Gaul like a killing machine. Inside the assault infantry group,

The heavy double-sided battle axe slashed from the Gaul assault infantry shield. The heavy battle axe directly smashed the iron bars on the surface of the shield. With the broken shield surface, the back Before the Gauls could react, they were hacked into the body by the sharp face of axe.

"Puff" blood spurted out from the split body, and the internal organs of the five faces and six were exploded like squeezed tomatoes. Amid the dense metal crash, the blood rose from being chopped to death in pieces. The Lu soldiers rushed out of their bodies. The Gaul light infantry suffered heavy losses. They were chopped down by the heavy infantry. The corpses piled on the ground. The northern infantry did not hesitate to step over the fragmented corpses, and they would be scattered in panic. The Gaul assault infantry drove together. After a burst of flesh and blood hacking, blood stained the walls on both sides of the city gate.

"My lord, things are a bit wrong! Could it be that the enemy has strengthened the defense of the city gate, how can it be delayed for so long!" Outside the city, a Gaul general who has not seen the assault infantry open the city gate for a long time, the gods are weird Said to Figueros

"The order goes on and the death camp is dispatched!" Figueros looked at the fierce battle wall with bright eyes, and seemed to feel something. He raised his hand towards the dense forest in the distance, and the siege tower hidden in the woodland was Backed out, behind this huge car body covered with animal skins, followed by dozens of heavily armored Gaul heavy infantry, and a thousand heavy rifles wearing heavy armor and holding siege lances, in a hazy atmosphere. In the pouring rain, these people are like ghosts that suddenly flashed out of the dark shadows. The cold icy rain dripped on the armor of their bodies and turned into four shè white water splashes.

"It's a death camp!"

Seeing this troop~IndoMTL.com~ the faces of the Gaul soldiers in front changed slightly, and they all consciously stepped aside. These heavily armored Gaul soldiers had sèyīn faces and their eyes were cruel. The heavy helmet mask has all been put down, only at the eye position, a cross-shaped gap is exposed so that the road ahead can be seen clearly

They are not the kind of death camps serving as cannon fodder, but jīngrui who are called the killers in the dark who are feared by the Slavs. These people are all soldiers and were captured when the North fell. Most of them followed The Slavs have unshakable hatred,

In order to show that they are impure warriors, their armors wore a battle robe stained with blood. The bottom of the battle robe was pure white, but because of too many killings, it had become a dark red. They It's like a silent but unshakable iron torrent slowly moving under the banner of an unclean army,

The violent sound of tearing the air from above the city wall resounded above the head, strong clusters of arrows pierced the rain curtain, bringing out white water lines,

The death camp soldiers behind the visor were not in a panic state. Instead, the Slavic hands on the wall were a little bit killed. I saw these heavy knights wearing heavy knights and heavy-armored soldiers coming down from the city. The arrow clusters can only hit the outer armor in vain, and then they bounce off with a crisp sound. Some of the heavy armor that enters the inner heavy armor will also be caught by the inner armor. )
