Power and Empire Chapter 1945: Counter against Gangfei (10)
Solton stood on the wall of Barruta, staring coldly at the coalition attack line below. The opposing troops lined up on the outer wall with more than 100,000 troops, and the open space in front was filled with black pressure. Troops,
Although he had predicted the strength of the frontal enemy, Salton still saw his eyebrows twisted tightly in front of the scene, and the noise of the front attack shook the earth. The flags of the coalition forces are as turbulent as waves, and the cavalry riding on a high-headed horse is galloping between the various troops. The prosperous military capacity is shocking.
Dozens of infantry teams lined up and marching forward in unison. It can be called a sea of people. The flags are spreading across the land. Above each infantry team, the spear-stabbing phalanx is very neatly lit up, and on each side Their respective flags were flying above the array. Shield! "The commander gave an order,
The amazing arrow carts on the city wall are constantly bringing up a chilling light, like a hammer hitting the front, drilling in from the front of these queues, bringing up a spray of red blood. But for a large queue of more than 100,000 people, the impact of these shootings can be almost negligible
"Forward"
Accompanied by shouts, the various coalition teams walked together neatly, woo woo woo woo! The ten-meter-long warhorn of the Uduya Kingdom tore the sky, the Uduya barbarian warrior with braided hair raised the small buckler in his hand, and the lightly armed soldier of the Silas Kingdom drew out his spear and roared at the same time, Rila The kingdom's white steel legion, all in white steel heavy armor, with red silk dancing on top of its head, raised the iron long shields together, with a suffocating rhythm. Just like the head of the sea wavying forward, there are hundreds of siege towers in the middle of the infantry phalanx. When the black and crushing force surges into the distance of 250 meters from the first line of defense of Baruta
"Order the trebuchet to attack!"
Salton commanded to the flag bearer behind him, and the flag bearer raised the flag in his hand, violently drawn a V, and with a sharp whistling sound, he began to tear the sky between the two armies. Behind the first outer wall of Ruta. There was a black spot, like a sparrow rising into the air. The densely packed large boulders quickly flew into the air, in mid-air like a celestial flower scattered in the air.
"Attention, catapult!"
The coalition troops below shouted in a flustered expression, and countless stones expanded rapidly in their flustered vision. There was a sharp whistling sound in the ears. Thousands of rocks fell from the sky with a terrible impulse, like a dense meteor shower falling on the line of attack of the coalition forces, splashing a series of blood-red waves.
amidst the creaking sound, on the guard tower of the city wall. A crossbow machine appeared on the battlements, and a row of metal arrows scattered with cold light. It was chilling to see. The crossbow shooters behind quickly wind up and take aim. "The report is ready! Request to shoot!" an officer said to the soldier waving the flag on his hand behind him
"No need to ask for instructions, tell all the long-range troops to shoot freely!" Salton swung his head. There were too many enemies. At this moment, as the commander of the frontline confrontation area, he needs more power, chess player. The order was passed back, and the ballista that received the order began to pour firepower at the enemy group on the opposite side
"Ah"
A coalition soldier flew out screaming. A sturdy crossbow arrow pierced through his body, and after hitting the shield behind it, it immediately traversed and turned around, just like a bowling ball being hit. Even the soldiers next to him were killed. Arrows are getting more and more dense. Swish from the ears and shoulders of the coalition soldiers, or a low puff, and then there must be a low groan of curses. The equipment of the coalition forces is uneven, and the equipment of the soldiers of the powerful country. Most of them are iron shields. Most of the weak mountain kingdoms are equipped with wooden shields.
and in front of the sharp metal arrow of the Falcon Ballista. The wooden shield was torn apart in the violent blow, and more and more people were hitting arrows. The first few phalanx teams that had reached 100 meters were obviously withered, and they could no longer maintain the queue. The dead and wounded soldiers lay down. In one place, the wounded soldiers curled up into a ball on the ground in pain
The groaning and yelling of the dying were mixed with the sound of the swish of arrows. The team that suffered losses began to slow down, and the entire attack line began to become concave and convex. Later, the team ignored them expressionlessly. As I walked by, the soil under my feet was soaked with blood and soft and slippery. "Help" the wounded soldier shouted in pain,
"What do you want to do! Go ahead and leave the Kasa people alone!" A soldier hesitated, and was scolded by the captain behind him with a serious face, "Whoever stops here, waits to be like them The fate of the Falcon Empire! The arrows of the Falcon Empire will soon cover this place! You can't save them!"
"Assholes, you cold-blooded assholes!" An officer with an arrow in his leg yelled, but no one paid him any attention. The follow-up troops continued to move forward, and the swift arrow clusters fell like raindrops.
"Go ahead and take down the city wall!" As the spring tide flooded, the teams rushed towards the outer city wall of Baruta. The defenders immediately launched a counterattack behind the city wall. Arrows poured down like a torrential rain, and the stones were like flying crows. It flew down in large numbers, and the ground was shaking sharply. The stone fell in the crowd and smashed a big hole in the ground,
"Okay, no need to record. If the outer wall can be taken down by the first attack, then according to the strategic goal, it is not a problem to take down the Baruta Fortress within ten days!" Commander-in-chief Leopold said behind him The recorder waved his hand,
"Report your lord! Fetter's Fourth Army is approaching the city! The fortified battle is about to begin!" The messenger quickly reported.
"I said that Lord Fett's white steel army must be the first unit to approach the city wall!"
Hearing the good news, Leopold turned around happily and said to the other generals of the coalition with a smile. The coalition generals who watched the battle were also very excited and eager to try. Someone said, "That **** Fett I still have some skills. I hit under the wall so soon, everyone should go back and prepare for reinforcements!"
"Don’t worry! Don’t forget, this total attack is just a tentative attack!" Leo Potter said calmly, "My lord, stay calm, even if you attack the outer wall, you just open the way The passage of Baruta Fortress is just that, the battle has just begun, and some battles are fought!"
At this time, he felt a cold look pierced from behind. He didn’t need to look back and knew that this was the Marquis of Rolla of the Yiyali Kingdom. If anyone objected to this attack, it would be the Marquis of Rolla of the Yiyali Kingdom. The other party’s reason was that the Falcon Army broke in with 10,000 cavalry. boundary. Moreover, the deployment of troops in the Falcon Empire is also unclear. It is unwise to launch an attack of this magnitude without understanding the movement of the opponent’s 10,000 cavalry. The number of 10,000 cavalry is not high. To say a lot less, if the Falcon Army uses these ten thousand cavalry to launch a sudden counterattack! It will inevitably cause great losses! "
Leo Potter turned to look at the solemn face of Rolla. "My lord, I know you are opposed to such unreserved pressure, but this is a matter for the coalition meeting to decide, even the commander-in-chief. I am too. Only the power to execute"
" But you can control the rhythm of the attack! I always feel that the opponent's counterattack is not strong!" Luo Ra took a deep breath. He is a veteran who is only fifty years old. Frosty and snowy white silk, soldiers on the march, strokes, meals and sleepers, and most of them are scarred. After middle age, they tend to be more aging than ordinary people.
Rora's voice paused for a while, looking at the fortified battle that had already started, and said condensedly, "I always feel that this battle went too smoothly. The opponent swept northern Gaul and Gangfei's Falcon Emperor** , Other people may not know the combat power of the Falcon Army, but adults should not forget that our Yi Yali Kingdom is close to the southwestern area of the Falcon Empire. More or less we know the strength of some Falcon Army, the Falcon Army is known as Invincible, invincible defending the city, well-equipped. Defeating death is only part of it. What is even more terrifying is that the Falcons also have explosive bombs that can break the entire city wall, and Thor, who has the ability to destroy everything. But until now, I have not seen the opposite. The Falcons show any of them"
" If Lord Rolla is worried about this, you can rest assured. Although Leo Potter is not a famous general, I am not a mediocre person who wants everyone to die. In fact, our man-made has already investigated clearly. Baruta is because of the distance. The general area is far away, and the big killers mentioned by your Excellency have not had time to prepare! "Leo Potter smiled." If it were not for such a firm guarantee, the coalition forces would not decide to attack Baruta. "
" However, even without these, the crossbowmen of the Falcon Empire are equally strong. If you instigate the army to press it up like this, I'm afraid..." Marquis Luo Wa was taken aback and hesitated.
Leo Porter said lightly, "War will always kill people. As the commander-in-chief, my duty is to let everyone work together."
At this time, the outer wall of Barruta has become a hornet's nest within a hundred meters of the east and south gates. Salton, who was famous for defending the city in the first battle, has experience in defending the city. Quite as if he gathered a hundred ballistas out of the one hundred and fifty ballistas of the army here,
Because this is the easiest area to break through, Salton predicts that the opponent will arrange the strongest troops in this direction. Faced with multiple enemies, the first thing to do is to break. The opponent’s sharpest spearhead,
Sure enough, the strongest stainless steel legion in the coalition forces stepped on this wall trap with one foot,
"Go forward, kill!"The soldiers climbed up the wall along the tower,
The large crossbow machine installed on the tower simultaneously shoots the crossbow arrows and sweeps out the arrows one by one. The soldiers in the front row couldn't even call for help and were torn to pieces in an instant. Wherever he went, he was full of flesh and blood. In this terrible metal storm, the heavy infantry in white armor is also as fragile as paper,
"There is an ambush!"
The white steel army of the Rila Kingdom, who was cheering for the first ascent to the city, was completely stunned. The soldiers below watched in astonishment as fragments of corpses fell from the wall and hit the bodies of the soldiers below, screaming , Groaning, blood, death panicked men and horses trampled on each other, thick steel arrow clusters swept past like locusts, arrows and rolling stones fell densely like hail, and the soldiers of the Congolese and African soldiers below screamed, Crying, you hit me on the ground and squeezed into a mass to trample on oneself; someone avoided but was knocked down in panic,
"This is!" Leopard suddenly lost his smile on his face.
The messenger cavalry who came to report just now rushes again, "The enemy's counterattack is too sharp, and the casualties are too great. General Fitt asked for a temporary deployment!"
" Evacuate? How can this be done! "A hesitation flashed across Leo Potter's face. The Steel Legion is the spear of the whole army. If the Steel Legion retreats, all the advantages just obtained will be in vain.
" Tell Master Fetter, please hold on for a while anyway!" Leo Porter, who is usually gentle and polite, is so stubborn at this moment. This shocked all the generals of the coalition forces.
" Everyone, now is a good opportunity!" Leo Potter turned in a whirlwind, his eyes sparkled, looked at the other coalition generals, and said, "The main force of the defenders has been attracted to the east and south gates. Other lines of defense will inevitably be empty! We don’t need a full breakthrough, as long as there is a gap to open!"
The generals immediately understood, "The commander-in-chief means. The sound is going on?"
"Exactly!" Leopold turned and shouted, "The enemy is already the last counterattack, and they are all concentrated on the Steel Legion. As long as the Steel Legion can delay for a while, we can completely break through from other aspects. ! Our army has taken advantage, as long as we put a little pressure on the defenders, they will collapse completely."
" My lord, give an order! "The coalition generals agreed with Leo Porter's view. From the tactical arrangement, this arrangement is quite harsh. The Central European and Barro coalition forces also gathered stars this time.
Although the commander-in-chief Leo Porter has a mediocre combat ability, his advantage is that he is good at it, and it has played a role in coordinating all parties and eliminating the gap between the various armies. The coalition generals of other countries are also elites from all countries, and they are very aware of the burden on their shoulders. This time the Central European and Baro countries have signed a military alliance with the Congolese Empire, which in essence is equivalent to tearing up their faces with the Falcon Empire in the North. , The victory or defeat of the general battlefield is already a decisive battle between the entire Central European and the northern hegemonic Falcon Empire. Although the Central European countries do not like Gang Fei, they do not like the strong and unbreathable north. Falcon Empire
"Time is running out, so I'll just make arrangements!" Leo Potter pointed his finger at the fiercely fighting front line in the distance. Divide the troops belonging to the Chinese army's main formation into two groups and forcefully attack the north and south lines of the city wall respectively. At this time, the sun in early summer was already setting sun. The four coalition armies attacked from the other two sides, and the fragmentation gaps were increasing. In every gap there is a fierce battle,
"It really came up!"
Salton grinned. The main body of his legion was the elite troops of the former Nord Kingdom. In the era of Ikadiva, the Nord infantry was famous for its intrepid combat power, but the allied forces seemed to have pounced on the outer walls of Barruta. In fact, the results of the fierce attack until now are very few. On the contrary, it feels like being stuck in a quagmire and difficult to pull out. The battle lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening, when the coalition forces began to show their superiority in strength.
Salton decisively chose to abandon the outer wall. Finally, Leopold heard the long-awaited cry of the coalition from the front line, "Occupy, occupy the outer wall!" The coalition yelled ecstatically. The voice echoed in the dark night. , You can see the light spot holding the torch gradually spreading over the outer wall,
"We made it!"
Leopold’s face was also suddenly moved. Originally, he was worried that if the first battle between the coalition forces and the Falcon Emperor ** was lost, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the coalition forces, and the outside world would pass the Falcon Emperor ** team. The fierceness of all the coalition generals also made the hearts of all coalition generals like an iron block. Now it's good, victory! The first battle was victory. In one fell swoop, an important outer wall was taken from the 60,000 Falcons
"The Falcon Army is nothing more than that! It's really not as famous as meeting! Come here, order the whole army into the city!" Leo Potter's lips trembled slightly, and the army entered the town outside the Baruta Fortress.
"Leo Potter Lord!" Rora shouted behind him
" Lord Rolla, what else do you have to say? "Leo Potter stands still." You see, the report is correct. The Falcons don’t have those things! If there is one, it will be used anyway. Of!"
" But my lord, I still think there is a problem, so the army should not rush into the city..." Luo La looked hesitant
"Okay, I'll pay attention!" Leo Potter interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued, with a serious expression. "The army has been fighting for a whole day, so you can't ask the army to stay overnight outside the city! And the opponent has been lost! After the outer city wall, there is only one way to the fortress~IndoMTL.com~What tricks can you play!"
Luo La shook her head in frustration, "I don't know! I just feel weird."
All that is just your conjecture? "There was a faint unhappiness in my heart. Leo Potter was suddenly very tired of Rolla. At such a moment of ecstasy, he gave everyone cold water. No wonder the people in the Yi Lila Kingdom are regarded as freaks by people from other countries, and Leo Potter takes a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he raised the whip in his hand and said coldly, "Master Luo Ra, if you think of what the trap is, you can tell me"
led the guard with strides past Luo Ra, leaving Luo Ra standing alone. The east and south gates were all occupied by coalition forces. At the gates that opened, coalition forces were rushing in.
"My lord, did we just give up the outer wall like this?" At Baruta Fortress, a southern army general asked unwillingly
" What can we do if we don’t give up? The outer wall is too long. For the opponent, it is the advantage of fully deploying the force. For us, the force is at a disadvantage, instead of where the enemy is three times the deadweight. , It’s better to throw this baggage to the coalition army!'
Salton's eyes swept across the dense spots of light that rushed into the city under the fortress cliff, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth
"It won’t take long for the coalition forces to discover that attacking the outer wall is a cocoon for them. Now the road to attack the fortress is only a mountain road. Even if the opponent has a superior force, it can only have one unit per unit. Forward!"
