Power and Empire Chapter 2170: A tooth for a tooth (3)
Flong Mountain Pass
White snowflakes are scattered in the sky, and crystal clear ice hangs from the high cliffs on both sides to expose several meters in length. In the vast earth, the icy wind drops a layer of hoarfrost on the icy armor. With air-conditioning in their mouths, Wan Fei Shan's infantry leaped out of the mountain pass in a long snake formation, and began to line up outside the valley. Beyond the mountain pass, a plain with the color of early winter, a team of cavalry horses stomping on the ground withered grass and flying. , Hurriedly ran towards a high ground outside the valley,
On the high ground, the mountain breeze sent this dark gold patterned golden cicada flower and vine-long cloak. A middle-aged general in red armor rides on a war horse, with piercing eyes looking over the ground ahead, holding it in his hand. The riding whip with a golden handle has high cheekbones, and the rare slender eyes. Under the tall nose, there is an aristocratic atmosphere different from the Central Europeans. It is a delicate feeling.
"Master, the emperor* didn't notice the arrival of our army, and he is now dying at Nurem." The galloping cavalry stopped under him, and a flax-haired officer Fei Shan who led the team raised his head and said loudly.
"Are you sure! You know that your judgment is likely to determine the life and death of tens of thousands of troops. It's not a sloppy look!" Pastanon looked serious, his horse whip entangled a knot in his hand, and his eyes looked like a knife at his commander. The general, this army is his private army of Pastanon. Before receiving the order, Pastanon had ordered the army to assemble. Although he was an opposition to war with the empire, he survived and died in this country. At the moment, in the battle of the overwhelming nation, he had already let go of his personal grievances, honor and disgrace. Seeing the domestic corps mobilized into the battlefield one by one, but his own 40,000 elites have not received the order for a long time, Pastanon also felt a sense of cursing in his heart.
"It must be the **** of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Because of private hatred, he ignored the difficult situation of the battle and put tens of thousands of elites on hold!"
He went to Kyoto to see King Fei Shan in person, but King Fei Shan's ambiguous attitude made him return to the fief a little frustrated. He must have been reserved for the army! Before the situation of this war became clear, I didn't have to think about appearing on the battlefield. This reserve position is a humiliating position for any Feshan soldier.
If the battle situation is dominant, the front-line combat troops will eat the sea and drink, and the spoils will be enough. It is like the meat on the bones has been gnawed away. I feel too lazy to clean up before letting the reserve forces go up to clean the battlefield. If the situation is unfavorable, the destiny of the reserve will be even more unbearable. If you are lucky, you can get a good reputation for struggling the road and rescue the main force.
Unlucky, he was designated as the retreat of the army. It’s normal to be swarmed by enemies chased all the way, and it’s normal to gnaw away. The main force of the kingdom that Enron left may have to say, "The army behind the palace is weak. There is not even the combat power to block a while. It is just a wine bag and a rice bag. No wonder In such a stressful situation, it is only used as a reserve force, which is simply useless waste!"
Pastanon sees too much of this kind of thing. In the past, relying on the trust of the king and the status of the duke, it was not uncommon to use this kind of thing to rectify political opponents. It’s just that he didn’t expect that he would be put in the reserve one day. Just when he was very boring every day to analyze the situation of the two armies on the map, the top secret combat order of the Ministry of Military Affairs that made him almost desperate, unexpectedly came miraculously.
This feeling of returning from the abandoned child to the sequence again made Pastanon excited to read the combat order three times. The first time was happy, the second time was confused, and the third time was shocked. Under what circumstances, the Ministry of Military Affairs does not want to go to the heavily armed Bavarid area, nor the coastal defense line, which is the center of defense, but asks its own army to rescue Nurem on the eastern front.
The word “rescue” is like a needle pierced into the flesh. Pastanon’s pupils shrank unnaturally, and the hand holding this command trembled, and his mind was a little confused.
As a Fei Shan soldier, why don’t you know the importance of Nurem, that is Fei Shan’s eastern gateway, where Nuren is in a hurry, Helena’s barrier has fallen, and the emperor* has magically entered the eastern province of the Istan Empire. Shan, this kind of news is a huge shock to everyone. It's no wonder that the Military Affairs Department remembered itself. At this time, all the troops in Fei Shan's country are like the bowstrings tightened, and it is difficult to move even a little. , There are still troops in the Ministry of Military Affairs to fill this hole. Once New York is really broken by the imperial army, Fei Shan’s eastern part will be completely exposed to the imperial front, and the other two lines will also experience huge fluctuations
Feishan and the Istans have been fighting and fighting in the Nurem region for decades. The understanding of the topography of the Nurem region is like a panoramic picture appearing in Pastanon’s mind.
The terrain of Nurem has always been easy to attack and difficult to defend. At that time, Fei Shan didn't use a heavy army to fight against Istanbul. He used the same fierce as a sea of corpses to stop the pace of the Istanbul people. The Falcon Emperor* has the weapon of Thor, which can be described as invincible and unstoppable. The Fortress of Helena has been lost. Even if he puts rescue forces into Nurem, the effect it can play is only short-lived,
If you really want to close the eastern gate that was broken by the emperor* again, you have to retake Helena Fortress!
Pastanon is known as Feshan’s famous general. There is still some sight. After a short period of consideration, Pastanon also came up with the idea of not rescuing Nurem, but the whole army took a shortcut and crossed directly. Fulong Pass, the idea of going straight to the Helena Fortress, the largest highland snow mountain in the Feishan Kingdom in Fulongshan City. Snow does not melt all the year round. Snow falls in September, and the mountain is closed in October. It will not thaw until June next year. Such a concealed passage is very unlikely for the Emperor to know in a short time, or even if he knew it, he would not think that Feshan’s reinforcements would ignore Nurem, and as the Pastanon Army rushed to the Nuren side to support the distance. As I get closer, I get more and more detailed information from the East Emperor*.
"Emperor * did not have many troops to break into Feishan's eastern line, but more than 10,000 troops, only taking an unexpected advantage, won the stable Helena barrier in one fell swoop, but it was like an arrow shot through the cowhide. , Without the follow-up power, this emperor who was expected to expand its battle results fell into a weak state after failing to assault the gate of Nurem."
From the previous message. It was God's will to make Pastanon's eyes light up, and the hands holding the whip could not help being clasped together. It was God who sent this peerless military achievement to himself
Being as fierce as before, I didn’t expect to be in Nurem. After being delayed by a mere 8,000 troops for three days, it didn’t break through. This emperor’s combat power should have reached its limit, but it is also, with more than 10,000 troops. Helena, who broke into the eastern barrier and broke through the defense of 5,000 people. Then he slammed non-stop towards Nurem, and almost took the city gate by force. With such strength, it is very rare to be able to fight like this,
If he could have more troops, Nuren would have fallen a long time ago. Or it’s hard to say that I can really open the eastern portal of Feshan, but now, everything is impossible, because I, Pastanon, have arrived, and the emperor* who is in front of me is already a tired army. What else can I use to stop the momentum? Forty thousand elite troops to be sent for many days,
With such an advantage to annihilate Ten Thousand Emperors*, it is a bit shameful to say it,
But if it is in the current situation where the main battle between the two countries is on the verge of breaking out. That's another matter. Hundreds of thousands of armies are fighting, and legions and legions are fighting each other. The victory of the first battle determines the ups and downs of morale on both sides. Whether it is the emperor* who has captured Nurem and opened the gap, or the Fei Shan army annihilated the intruding emperor*, as long as the news reaches the main battlefield, it will be a huge morale for our side. Inspire. On the contrary, it is inevitable that the loser's military will be turbulent. And such an important first battle military merit, just put it in front of me, so what are you waiting for! It only took more than a day before the Pastanon Army arrived on the Eastern Front, and then the army crossed the Fulong Mountain Road.
The Furlong Mountain Road under the ice and snow caused some losses to the Pastanon Army. About a hundred people were frozen to death, and hundreds more were frostbited. But for the Pastanon Army, which has a total of 40,000 people , This loss is insignificant,
"Even at a distance of ten miles, you can hear the voice of the imperial Thor that resembles a thunder." The information brought by the scout in charge of the investigation proved Pastanon’s conjecture. Under normal circumstances, the location of Thor must be The main force of the emperor, at this moment, the emperor would never have imagined that there would be forty thousand Feishan troops who would have crossed Nurem and turned to pounce on the Helena Fortress, just like what the emperor had done from the Eastern Province. That way, I have to write that shock on the face of the emperor,
Riding on the majestic war horse, Pastanon raised his sword high in confidence, facing the sky, and his eyes swept across the entire 40,000 army underneath. The spear was like a forest, and he was murderous.
"If you win the Helena Fortress, everyone's reward will be doubled. Those who enter Shanghai Lenna Fortress for the first time will be promoted to three ranks, and the reward will be 1,000!"
Pastanon let out a long roar, and the sword pointed at the sky, and the soldiers below were jealous. A thousand bounty was added and promoted to three ranks. Not to mention soldiers, even those low-ranking officers were also excited, Gao The cry, the morale was like a rainbow, and the coldness that had just passed through the bottom of the snow valley was turned into blood. The private army has forty thousand elites, even if it is four to one, it is enough to annihilate this boldly intruding emperor in New York. Lun is on the front line, but the premise is that the Helena barrier must be taken down in advance, otherwise who knows that behind this emperor, no more reinforcements are coming, only the door can be used to squash this drowning dog! In order to capture the glory of the first victory of the Super War, which will definitely be recorded in the history of the Obamas, the speed of the Pastanon army began to advance rapidly, as fast as thunder, and Helena, who has no main force, is for his army. , Not so much harder than a delicate young woman who is stripped off by a hunk and brawny man,
Pastanon didn’t know that, just as he rushed towards Helena fortress, in the direction of Nurem, countless black armored heavy infantry soldiers had already overwhelmed the walls of Nurem.
The imperial Hundred Gate Thor’s indiscriminate bombing destroyed the morale of Fei Shan’s army. The two new empire’s central armies rushed in like tigers, and Nurem, who had only thousands of defenders, did not support it for two hours. More than 4,000 people below the commander Gledat have been captured, and Nurem has fallen. The emperor’s military strength on the eastern front has exceeded 40,000 at this time.
Helena fortress, the wall originally belonged to the Fei Shan army’s defensive facilities, at this time all turned one direction, and dozens of steel and iron empire heavy crossbows were pushed onto the wall by the soldiers, but not directly The battlement mouth is located two or three meters behind the battlement mouth. Bundles of fine iron crossbow arrows are stacked on the ground. The heavy crossbowmen of the Imperial Guards squatting near the imperial ballistas. The armors on their bodies are all carefully crafted by military craftsmen. The entire plate of steel sheets protects the chest, and the arms are made of tightly connected scales made of tough leather strips and armor pieces. The protection ability is considered. Second only to the Empire’s main battle of heavy infantry, and the selected crossbowmen are all sturdy Nordic elites, which are specially used by the Empire to guard the Empire’s ballista operations.
The longbowmen in the Imperial Guard who withdrew from the direction of Nurem reverently slaughtered a red sap on the end of the arrow cluster, and then placed each branch flat in the gap behind the battlement. It is a ritual of the longbowman. The red juice is the blood of the cow. The thornwa people believe that the blood of the cow can be protected by the ancestors and can make the arrows fly farther. More penetrating power,
In fact, the firing range of the thorn tile longbowman is already very terrifying. But the thornwa people still adhere to this custom. The skin of every thornwa archer's waist is filled with bull blood. In the eyes of ordinary imperial soldiers, the thornwa longbowman has a pious look of smearing bull blood on the tail feathers of the arrow cluster. It’s more like a sign that the devil is marking the reaping of life,
Twenty-seven thousand people followed His Majesty Falcon to support the Nurem attack. Another three thousand people of the Imperial Guards Heavy Crossbow Army, accompanied by the retreat of the Central Army Third Banner, are waiting for the complete Helena Fortress. Uninvited guests, the moment the Pastanon legion jumped out of the Fron mountain pass, an imperceptible messenger pigeon flew into the sky. A huge pocket that flanked back and forth, unknowingly enveloped the 40,000 elite head of Pastanon. on.
From the flat area of Nurem to Helena, the empire's sword has been sharpened, waiting to see the blood! Wind blows. Coming to the face, the army's Xiao murderous aura engulfed the bleak wind. Neither the Empire nor Fei Shan expected that the first collision that triggered the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of army began here.
The Pastanon Corps appeared in front of the Helena Fortress at one noon. Dozens of infantry teams lined up and marched forward together. The flag swept across the land, and the spear-stabbing phalanx was lit up extremely neatly above each infantry team, and the golden three-patterned flag of the Pastanon was flying above each phalanx, like a murderous sword full of murderous auras. Coming out soon,
His gaze swept across the fortress of Helena, which was waiting in front of him. Pastanon slowly raised his right hand, his expression turned from excitement to dignified. The imperial heavy infantry and heavy crossbowmen numbered thousands on the city’s head. The Falcon Emperor* flag placed on the city’s head was also taut as a knife in the wind. Fei Shan’s flag was still placed there a few days ago. Under the flag, the Empire’s heavy infantry stood almost as tall as a human. The shield is in the front, and the rear row of sharp spears stabs out of the shield, as if another iron wall was erected on the city wall, forming a spear forest that can make people feel chill even in midsummer, followed by Megatron. Barrow’s imperial crossbowmen. These crossbowmen have a range longer than a step bow and can penetrate heavy armor in a hundred meters.
But so what?
Pastanon’s mouth was confident. He didn’t see the imperial Thor on the wall, which made him more sure of victory. No matter how terrifying the opponent might be, there is no Thor on the Fortress of Helena. The facts are enough to prove that the opponent is also hastily challenged. Without Thor's intimidation and suppression, the emperor is more powerful at a distance. What is the difference between other defenses and conventional defenses?
I have forty thousand elites, so I can't win this fortress of thousands of people. At this time, the crowd is the advantage of victory!
"Attack!" Pastanon raised his right hand suddenly, and the sound of a trombone representing a full-scale attack came from the direction of the main formation, "Wow" the sound of a piece of metal armor rubbing. "One, two, one, two" followed the violent and neat shouts. The temporarily formed siege ladder slowly moved forward amidst creaking noises. The soldiers below wriggled like a swarm of ants holding their shields. Amidst the tidy steps, there were tens of thousands of heavy infantry from the Pastanon regiment lined up in square formations. Slammed Helena fortress, countless spears. The polished steel shield shone with a red halo under the light. Like a shimmering river surface,
"Assault!"
Heavy infantry began to accelerate~IndoMTL.com~ The long spears in their hands were lowered, and they rushed forward with their shields. The momentum was astonishing, like a flash flood and a tsunami, they wanted to destroy the fortress wall with one blow! Thousands of turbulent arrivals, under the shining red sunlight, the infantry line was like a long line that collapsed quickly. Above the fortress, suddenly a white light flashed, and the crossbow arrows hit like a storm. In an instant, the first row of Feishan soldiers were beaten by this terrible counterattack momentum as if they collapsed, and the heavy crossbow that screamed out like a sickle swung by the **** of death crashing into the pile of people, and the pieces of meat flew across and flew out screaming. The sturdy crossbow arrow pierced through* and hit the shield behind the queue. It was either a breakdown or a traversing, and the people nearby were like bowling **** that were hit. Thousands of elite forward strikes The queue was instantly beaten up. The wounded soldiers and corpses were lying on the ground. Even though they were wearing heavy infantry armor, they were distorted in the heavy blows of the crossbow arrows. Wailing all over the floor
Go ahead!
Under the military order, the army moved forward, and this small fluctuation was immediately overwhelmed. The attack line of tens of thousands of people swarming forward, just the shouts of the surrounding sky, was enough to stimulate the soldiers' adrenal glands to secrete them People feel like being attracted by the maelstrom, and everything is thrown behind their heads. Teams roll around like waves, covered by clusters of arrows, killed by heavy crossbows, and swept in rows by dense clusters of arrows from longbowmen. , There are still more huge phalanxes crashing into the city wall without fear of death, like a serpentine behemoth that will swallow the Helena fortress in front of you, (to be continued)
