Power and Empire Chapter 2183: The Eye of the Storm (8)
The fat man saw King Fei Shan’s main army flag appearing about a kilometer in front of the fortress, and then a rush of horns tore through the cold wind before the night, and the preparation of Fei Shan’s army began. In the array, the dense spears are like pieces of cold-glowing steel jungle popping up from the snow-white ground,
Of course, it’s impossible for Fei Shanjun of 300,000 to spread all over this line, but what you can see by visual inspection is that there are more than 100,000 people in the front, and the equipment is still worth looking at. In the past, there were light and heavy armors. The weapons were all standard weapons of the regular army. There were also a small number of mobile light cavalry pressed close to the frozen lake.
The other Fei Shan army should stay a little behind as a reserve team. This is the correct arrangement. If you have three times the superior force, you will not swarm all the troops up and face it. The three large fortresses that suddenly appeared, and all the troops were covered in one breath. It was a fool's ability to send them in turn, so as to tear a gap in the solid defensive line as soon as possible.
"Send the order to the entire army, Fei Shan people should attack the city overnight, let everyone pay attention!" The fat man's gaze retracted from the flying Fei Shan banner in the distance, and he ordered behind him. There was no tension on his face, but a touch of it. Relax, King Feshan is an old fox, thoughtful, and likes to do things with ease. He is afraid that King Feshan will treat Thoradin I as he did. After learning of the existence of the three fortresses, he immediately ordered the 30 Wan Dajun retracted again to be a tortoise,
However, as more and more Fei Shanjun are filling the battlefield, the possibility of this is getting less and less. When he sees Fei Shanjun's flag appearing, the fat man will know that the opponent has bitten the hook. At this time, the opponent will no longer have a retreat, because if the soldiers of Fei Shan see that the upper ranks of the kingdom have three times the strength, they will be scared to retract. It will be the most deadly blow to Fei Shan’s morale. In this decision In the war of national fortune. King Feshan dare not take such a risk, because King Feshan is old,
No matter how daring a person is when he is young, he will have a common problem when he is old, that is, if he is too demanding to do things, if there is a hint of danger. Everyone chooses to take a look first. With this mentality, King Feshan will not choose to retire at this time.
Otherwise, if there is a riot, you will put yourself under the knife of the Falcon Emperor*. Since it won't be evacuated, it's a storming attack! This is how Fatty believes. In fact, in the face of the huge gap in military strength, with the completion of the three ice city fortresses in just a few days, it has become less important.
Feishan didn't know that he wasted his last combat opportunity. If the opponent noticed an abnormal scout in those few days, he would order the entire army to culminate at any cost. Then the only thing I can do is to leave a rear army, and then immediately lead the main force of the army to move closer to the coast, because there are still 30,000 soldiers from the North. At the same time, you can get support from the Imperial Navy at the shortest distance, but the opponent obviously doesn't have that courage. It's just now, it's too late!
Since you have put all your chips in Bavarid, let them all stay!
Speaking of the Falcon Emperor*'s biggest gain in the Bavarian area in more than a month, it is the accumulation of massive amounts of war materials. The emperor * is in charge of commanding Varisian, the governor of the south of the empire, which controls the largest foreign trade area of the empire, and Berrant Bonnie, of the northern army of the empire, which controls the entire Central European and Baro trade road. There is also the Imperial Guards, in order to maintain a strong suppression of Fei Shan's army. What the two people did coincidentally was to continuously bring in combat supplies.
I thought that once the attack order was issued, the first to tear the Fei Shan army’s line of defense. As the commander of such a large number of troops, Varisian had long ago obtained the possession of weapons from the fat man, the headquarters of the imperial navy. Just in the south of Congo, Varisian has long been coveting the naval arsenal. If the heavy weapons in the Imperial regiment are the largest, it must be the naval arsenal of the Admiralty. Undoubtedly, the army is equipped with heavy ballistas and Thor. Calculated by ten, the navy is calculated by fifty, a dragon tooth battleship is fifty Thor! There are also a total of eight heavy ballistas before and after suppressing the opponent’s berthing,
Holding the authorization from His Majesty, Varisian led the people to open the door of the Admiralty arsenal, rows of well-maintained imperial heavy ballistas and the dark and glowing imperial navy Thor, let Varisci Eun’s breathing almost stopped,
The long horse convoy of the South Army Corps has been transporting to the front line in an endless stream for more than a month. It can be imagined how many stocks are hoarded. I won’t talk about rations and supplies, just the heavy ones from the naval arsenal. Weapons, for example, have reached a heinous level,
There are 550 imperial heavy crossbows for loading battleships, the imperial navy Thor has more than 300 gates, and there are a huge number of Thor bullets. Varisian has not even let go of various types of trebuchets. For Vari For Sean, as long as the weapon that can tear the opponent’s city wall apart must be taken away, because Valisian’s initial battle plan was to break through Fei Shan’s defense line. Without heavy weapons, how to break through the 300,000 Fei Shan’s army? Line of defense? Since your Majesty is relieved, how can Varisian be polite,
While the main force of the Imperial Navy is still fighting at Strand, Varisian can be said to have almost emptied the Imperial Navy’s arsenal this time. He has already planned it. As long as your majesty gives an order, He used these various types of heavy weapons to concentrate on a section of the city in one breath, first smashed a big hole, and then led everyone to rush up, as long as he could win the battle, wait for the return of the Secretary of the Navy Dusternky. Be held accountable, there is also your Majesty against it
But I didn’t expect that the situation changed so quickly, I had prepared so much and I didn’t have the opportunity to use it. The Central European and Barro coalition forces withdrew, and the Eastern and Western cavalry also withdrew. Not every time I have the opportunity to use such a large number of troops. The heavy weapon! Varysien’s heart was suffocated like a cat scratching. If it weren’t for the arrival of the emperor, he would have to withdraw it. Otherwise, these heavy assassins belonging to the highest level of the emperor’s industry would fall into the hands of the Feshan people. The threat is too great! Such a large number is enough to raise Fei Shanjun's overall level to the next level
Now, these weapons are listed on the ice-like back wall. There are three large fortresses. Each fortress has nearly a hundred Thors, not the imperial heavy ballistas leaning against the crevasse of the ice wall. It is the exclusive weapon of the enemy's heavy infantry. It is like playing with heavy armor at a distance of 150 meters. As for the trebuchet, it was placed in the fortress very despicably by His Majesty Falcon. His Majesty Falcon said this wasteland. There are no good trees on it. The opponent would never have thought of having such a large number of trebuchets arranged in the city, waiting for the opponent to bump into it
Looking at that black sling lever pressed like a giant, Varithian felt excited from the inside, come on, come on if you want to die!
"Woohoo"
The sound of the bugle above the head is transmitted to the eardrum. King Feishan was immediately in his position, looking at the three large frozen fortresses in front of him with surprise. It's like playing a pendulum, there are actually three fortresses! The old man's pupils shrank unknowingly, and his old face, like grapefruit peel, was so gloomy that he wanted to drip water, originally thought Falcon Emperor* was the so-called line of defense. It is an unprecedented miracle to have a simple ice wall. Who would have thought that in just a few days, what I saw was three large fortresses with full defenses and deep trenches. How did the other party do it?
The sky is freezing cold, and before you know it, how come you have changed from the defensive side to the offensive side!
King Feishan swung the whip's hand fiercely. The very dissatisfied nose snorted heavily, and the undersecretary of the military department, Marquis Mandy, whose eyes swept across his eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Mandy Ching. You are not talking about everything to Bavarian. Do you know, then can you tell me that these three towers require countless manpower and material resources at a glance, and there is no big fortress that cannot be completed in three or four years. Could it be that they didn't grow out of the ground?"
Feeling the murderous intent in the eyes of His Majesty the King, the back of Marquis Mandy, the undersecretary of the military department, was already wet with sweat. From the moment of the war, he rolled to the ground. "The subordinates guarantee with the honor of the Mandy family, there was absolutely nothing here before!"
"So. You know nothing about what's here?"
King Feshan's eyes are getting colder and colder, and Marquis Mandy's face is white like a piece of paper. The appearance of these three fortresses is incredible. As an experienced battlefield veteran, how can he not know what the appearance of these three fortresses means, it is no wonder that His Majesty the King did not give himself a little face,
At first I felt like a stable battle, and suddenly became uncertain,
A big army battle is not a culling of a sneak attack. There is rarely a situation where a collision determines the victory or defeat. In this kind of general battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the two sides are competing against each other in queues. The gap of the cluster tore through the entire defense line of repressive victory, so that there are dozens of miles of collapse and killing, hundreds of miles of land lost, and even the legendary speed of soldiers under the capital city overnight, if it is at In the unstoppable wilderness, King Feshan has long ordered an attack
Three times the strength of the own side is enough to suppress any opponent, even the Falcon Emperor*. The opponent’s stretched forces are an uncontrollable shortcoming. As long as a hole is torn open, the Falcon Emperor* will be like one The barrels that can’t hold more alcohol pop open,
Victory is at your fingertips, and Feshan’s generals think so too,
But now, everything has changed and it has become more difficult. These three fortresses slapped Fei Shan's entire army like a loud slap in the face. Everyone can't know the Falcon Emperor* How did this happen, but the army has already been pulled out, not to mention the three fortresses, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire can only move forward, but this time I don’t know if there is a sea of fire, but the iceberg is for sure!
"Your Majesty, can't wait any longer!"
A General Fei Shan looked worriedly at the darkening sky, and some soldiers whispering to each other, and said, "The Falcon Emperor*’s ice fortress has begun to shake the soldiers’ hearts. If the attack order is not issued immediately, the subordinates are worried that by tomorrow, the main attacking army will lose its spirit,
"That's the case, but what do we use to attack the city? The army has just arrived, but there are almost no siege equipment, so you can't let the soldiers touch the ice wall!" Someone inside General Fei Shan said angrily. Siege is a very sad thing, not only can’t see the other party’s arrangement at night, but also because the night in Bavarian is too cold, the iron armor wears like steel thorns, and the howling cold wind is like a knife cut. For soldiers, it is a kind of torture! The army is exhausted and insufficiently prepared. At this time, it is meaningless to force the soldiers to attack the city.
"What meaningless! Our soldiers wear cold armor and can't stand the battle for a long time. Isn't the Falcon Emperor*?" The general who proposed the attack blushed and said, "Under the same harsh environment, a strong army One side is bound to be more dominant, as long as it is broken, the other side will break apart.
"On the contrary, one more night is given to the Falcon Emperor*. Ample time for the arrangement of the night, and it is easier for the army to pass through the ice ditch under the cover of the night. The Falcon Emperor* is famous for its long-range weapons. On the mainland, if you can’t see it clearly, what are you talking about remote shooting!"
"Okay, don't fight, I have decided, the attack will start tonight!"
King Fei Shan waved his hand with a serious face, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and pointed to one of the General Fei Shan and said, "Paul Laqing is right. It is too dangerous to delay a night in vain. You must know this hunting Behind the Eagle Emperor*, there are 100,000 cavalry of the steppe people. Although they are separated by two hundred miles, if the steppe cavalry relies on the horsepower of the cavalry to help, the opponent is likely to arrive here tomorrow afternoon~IndoMTL.com~At that time, we will be attacked. As a result, in the face of the 100,000 cavalry of the Falcon Empire, how many people do you think the 300,000 army can go back alive?
"This..." The generals' complexions changed. This is the extension of the Bavarian region, the edge of this plateau, so in terms of terrain, it's not all like other regions. The ravines are vertical and horizontal. For example, the front end of the three fortresses of the Falcon Emperor* is the terrain of Pingchuan. Once the 100,000 prairie cavalry are killed, under the impact of the cavalry horsepower, the 300,000 army may not be able to block the impact!
His Majesty the King’s thoughts are correct. Fei Shan has only one day and one night left. If the fortress can't be taken, all the efforts Fei Shan made before will be in vain! In this case, who would dare to stand up and demand that the night be wasted, but the lack of siege equipment is also a problem. In the end, King Feshan decided that the task of this night is to fill in the ice pits outside the three fortresses and wait until the early morning attack tomorrow. Once the city equipment arrives, you can attack the city wall with all your strength. After a fierce battle, Fei Shanjun can take turns to rest by taking advantage of his strength, but the emperor who defends the city will be difficult! When the opponent is in trouble, it is a chance to break the city in one fell swoop
"The order goes on. From now on, any team that receives the order will not be delayed. Tonight, it will be filled with people and it will be taken down by me!" King Feishan gave the order loudly, and the voice clearly let all Feishan The general felt a tragic breath, day and night, can this be taken down? (To be continued)
