Power and Empire Chapter 1872: Wall Rock Fort (3)
‘Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The sound of strong drums in the morning mist, like a heavy hammer, touched the eardrums of all the defenders of the rock fort,
"What's the matter?"
"The Falcon Army is coming up!" On the front of the gray-white tall barrier, countless Gaul soldiers ran up the wall, like a hornet's nest stabbed by a pole,
"Attention, enemy attack! Archers are in the position" The wall of the fortress defense line of hundreds of thousands of Gaul troops, Gaul archers stretched out the bowstrings in their hands in rows, raised them in the air, condescending, if the wind is down, the shooting range It can reach 120 meters, the huge trebuchet is pulled by the winch, and the round stone bullet is pushed into the throwing trough.
tense, hesitated, and arrogant, the soldiers panting as if they had just finished a kilometer run one by one, their tense and bloodshot eyes, looking hard at the place where the drum sounded in front of them,
"Come on, come on, let's have a good fight, old idiot has had enough!" An officer stepped on the battlements of the wall of the rock fort, carrying the knight's epee in his hand, and roaring into the distance with blood. ,
Since the last time the attack was frustrated, there has been an order not to attack in any way. For middle and lower-level officers, such an order is simply a humiliation, but for ordinary Gaul soldiers, it’s a solid rock wall. The fort defense line also cannot provide them with a sense of security. Most of the Gaul troops are recruits only in August and September. The real battles are only one or two tentative contacts. Instead, various rumors about the Falcon army are in the army. CUHK is doing well,
In order to show the brutality and bloodthirsty of the enemy, recruit more young people to join the army. Under the propaganda of the Gaul military, everyone in the Falcon Army is a bloodthirsty beast, whether they sleep or eat , They are all used to drinking a cup of blood wine brewed by captive blood. They will turn into bloodthirsty monsters on the night of the full moon, smashing the bones and sucking the marrow of the Gauls,
Use human blood to wash weapons. In order to enhance the ferocity of their weapons, they are powerful knights controlled by the demon Lord Vecya Falcon, and are the most elite puppets under the demon Lord Falcon. Everyone is two meters tall, extremely strong, and fearless of death. I don't know the pain, as long as the order to fight is given, even if I am alone, the opposite is a squadron. I will rush forward without hesitation,
"So, seeing the Gaul warrior of that demon lord, there is no chance of surviving!"
An veteran faced a group of scared recruits with pale faces, frothing, and vividly describing how he valiantly killed a hundred guard demon knights of the Falcon Demon Lord. Bend the bow and set the arrow, and shot a fierce vengeance arrow at the screaming bloodthirsty demon, and the bloodthirsty demon was pierced by an arrow
"So. That demon should be dead, why is he alive!" someone from the recruits asked
"Nonsense, it is our general who will die with an arrow. The reason why the devil is called the demon. It is because he is immortal, so if you see that demon on the battlefield, you must Run as far as you can in the first place!" The veteran curled his lips. Very disdainful of the interrogation of a certain recruit
"Captain Anturid, my lord is looking for you!" A guard officer walked over and saluted the veteran with a gangster face
"Okay. Let's stop here, remember what I said, maybe you can live longer"
The veteran waved his hand to the recruits somewhat helplessly. As the captain of the guard of Derek, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Front, this veteran of mercenary origin has always had no pretensions. According to what he said, when he was in trouble, Derek helped He had been with him once, so he followed Derek, only to give Derek a favor, as long as he saved Derek three times, he would leave, but such opportunities have been very few, the unfamous Derek, who is interested in assassination! Derek, who has become the chief of the Kyoto line, always brings eight of the toughest guards in and out. If he goes out, he will also bring an eighty-man general guard. General assassinations simply cannot be stepped aside
"My lord, you are looking for me!" With a toothpick in his mouth, the veteran casually pushed open the front door, which seemed heavy to most Kyoto generals, and saw Derek standing at the window with his back to himself Back view from the front
"What's the matter? It looks uneasy!" The veteran said dismissively. If anyone sees this scene now, they will definitely not believe that Derek, who holds the power of 200,000 troops, will be treated with this look. Ridiculous veteran ridicule
"You said, is this attack real?" Derek came back from the window
"No, because I really can't see the reason for the opponent to launch this attack! Our defense line is solid, and the strength is higher than that of the opponent. Unless the opponent is willing to pay the same price, there is no chance to win the rock fort! "The veteran curled his lips indifferently. As soon as his voice fell, a sudden thunder came.
"This is!" The veteran's face changed and his body became stiff. He saw a white light flashing across Derek's face, and there was a crashing sound coming from the direction of the front pass.
"Yes, it's Thor! The Falcon Army, who has not moved the true character, finally used Thor!" Derek's face looked uncertain, and his eyes flashed from the first line of defense in the pass. The black line and the dozen or so groups of dazzling blood bursting on the wall in an instant, hold your fingers tightly together,
At this moment, the Falcon Legion really took the posture of the army to crush the city,
"Reported that there was a gap in the defense line of the pass! Some soldiers were fleeing." An officer stumbled in.
"Order the troops at the pass to guard, those who retreat without authorization will be arrested on the spot, no need to be tried, let the supervising team beheaded!" Derek said to the officer with almost no hesitation, his face grimly
"Yes", the officer's face changed. There were thousands of people who fleeed this time, but he didn't dare to refute and went away quickly.
"Derek, are you too unkind like this? Those are just new recruits who are scared!" Hearing Derek's murderous order, the veteran was silent for a while, and he hesitated, "This It's not like you before. If you were before, you would at most catch him and close it for a few days!"
"So Lei, this is not in my fief! Any mercy brings the collapse of the entire legion!" Derek's face was gloomy, he looked at the veteran at the door with a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Everyone sees I am very beautiful. In fact, who knows how heavy the burden of the life and death of 200,000 people and the rise and fall of the entire empire is. If I can, I really hope I didn’t faint and get this position. I used to talk about those empires with soldiers. How cruel and unkind is the minister. Only now I know that all his mother is forced out! The people below want to count you, and the enemy wants to count you. Even behind you, there are a lot of people pulling away. "Cut, if you have such a big opinion, Kyoto will let you go back, but you won’t go back!" The veteran Soray rolled his eyes
"I, Derek, may not be a famous general, but I am not a coward!" Derek's eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth rose. The tone said decisively, "Do you really think I don't know what Kyoto plans to do? I want my 200,000 army to return to the army, really just to guard against Vernon's offensive? Here, at any rate, I can still be jealous. Go back. Kyoto, can I live alive or not?"
"Well? What do you mean?" The veteran Solei trembled slightly,
When it comes to military talent, Derek is at best mid-level, but when it comes to political sensitivity, Derek is definitely top-notch. Otherwise, they won’t be both sides in the turbulence of Kyoto, and get the support of all forces to squeeze Alder away and become the first man in the imperial military to master the line of life and death in Kyoto
"The emperor is dead, now who is holding my Derek knife. Who is the future emperor!" Derek looked at the sluggish veteran, and said with contempt, "I can guarantee that as long as the army enters Kyoto, I, Derek, will be dismissed immediately. Then Kyoto is bound to be a **** reshuffle. For the power beasts in Kyoto, the offensive of the Falcon Empire is nothing. At most, the days are hard. Some, really can’t, just learn from Gangfei to move Kyoto to the east. They wanted to do it a long time ago, but if they lose in this power struggle, the whole family will die!" Your lord, the direction asked for the mouth. support! "The officer ran in again just now" The 13th Infantry Regiment was dispatched first! "Derek nodded. After setting it up, accompanied by several generals, he hurriedly walked up to the observatory on the top of the fortress. There is the commanding height of the fortress. You can see the entire battlefield at a glance. He just walked onto the observatory. A squadron leader on the observation platform quickly stood up and reported with a nervous look, "My lord, the situation is not very good, it seems that the Falcons are going to attack this time!" "
"Nonsense, I can see it!" Derek gave him a grimly blank look, holding the battlements of the observation deck, leaning out half of his body to look into the distance, the sight below made his face become Somewhat unnatural, I saw that in the direction of the pass under the sunset, more than a dozen huge black army formations were slowly gathering, on their flanks "like two huge spreading wings are black crossbowmen, and the middle area is densely packed." His long falcon battle flag fluttered like waves, and dozens of Thor-like weapons lined up in the distance made his eyebrows tightly twisted together. "My lord, the soldiers are very flustered!" "He heard the low voice of the veteran around him" It is true, what should I do! "Derek asked in a voice that only two of them could hear. In fact, not only was the soldier panicked, but he was also nervous. The Falcon Army that was actually lined up was really not comparable to an ordinary army, like the aura of the sea. The state before the fierce volcano is about to explode, the invincible elite hero of the mainland, where the eagle flag flies, is invincible, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the heavy atmosphere is like a mountain that weighs the people on the wall out of breath," order the pass to do well. Prepare to fight hard, I will support them, hold on, I will give them credit! "Lord Derek returned from the battlement and sent his soldiers behind him." Tell them that if the enemy approaches, no matter what the situation is, immediately launch a full-line blockade. If you can't defeat their spirit before the Falcons approach the pass! Our military will inevitably shake! It will be dangerous then! "
"Yes" The messenger turned around and left
"My lord, if the pass is broken...!" A Gaul general standing behind him hesitated and asked, "If you break through, take it back with all your strength! Until the battle reaches one soldier, the officer dies and the general is finished. Come on, the general is dead, I'll go!" Derek said decisively, "My lord, is this too tragic!" The generals behind him were suppressed by Derek's sudden burst of momentum.
"This battle is a battle of life and death for us. Only the decisive posture of the whole army can temporarily retreat the opposing Falcons." Derek looked heavy and sighed, "Otherwise, the decline of our army will only be It will make them like hu, and their military will inevitably vent to the end. The battle of siege is neither victory nor defeat. There is never an intermediate choice. At the moment when the two sides collide, the fight is to see who is more able to persist. Zhanxin, even the strongest fortress will be washed away like running water"
"My lord, emergency military report!" An officer walked over nervously and whispered a few words in Derek's ear.
"What! You said it is true!" Derek's face flashed with a touch of amazement
"It’s true that the defeated army was temporarily stopped by a wooden wall five miles away. Lord Chasen of the 11th Step Corps was killed in battle, and Lord Randolph, the 12th Infantry Regiment’s commander, was seriously injured. He fled back after fighting desperately, and is still in a coma"
The pass ahead,
"Don’t mess with everyone, there is nothing terrifying about the Falcons!"
The Gaul officers are cheering their subordinates fiercely. It is early in the morning, and the distant sun forms a huge arc of light shining on the huge army that covers the earth, and the dense black armor is shining in the sun. Moving a flowing brilliance, the cold light brought by the sharp spears was like a piercing wind blowing across the wilderness, making all the Gaul soldiers who saw this scene shudder from their hearts to their souls." This is the real soldier. Compared with them, can we have any hope of victory?" The Gaul soldiers looked at each other,
At this time, everyone heard the sound of swaying horses hoofs in the wilderness, and saw a line of heavy armored imperial guard cavalry appear in the distance, and the heavy horses hoof lifted up on the ground. Follow the school~IndoMTL.com~ Fenghan's sword is shining with snow-like ferocious light in the distance, like a flash of lightning across the wilderness of the earth,
This is the famous Falcon Empire on the mainland. Behind these cavalry, hundreds of war horses dragging dozens of black long pipes are slowly coming towards the fortress.
"It's Thor!" A deep inhalation sounded from the city wall, and everyone felt a faint feeling in their hearts.
"It's over, it's over, it's the invincible Thor! What do we do! I don't want to die!" Someone wailed on the wall, and the faces of others were also very ugly. The Falcon Empire Thor's terrible reputation, early Let the Gaul army be frightened,
The army suffered a series of miserable defeats. Although most of the soldiers who participated in the war were either killed or captured by the Falcon Army, they were lucky enough to be transported back. They were more exaggerated the horror of the Thor destroying everything in the Falcon Army.
If it weren’t for the incomparably strong fortress, the Gaul Kyoto Army composed of civilians, just seeing the shadows of these long black pipes might have been in disarray,
For the Gaul soldiers who have seen Thor for the first time, the black ghost in the distance is synonymous with the **** of death,
"Woo" the battlehorn rang amidst the sound of war drums, and the army formation in front finally began to move, with a forward-looking aura, hòu solid infantry armors and shields were bright and dark in the sun. As the army moves, like fish scales that are constantly turning over and over
