Power and Empire Chapter 2498: Falcon falling (8)
On the southern border of Istan, on the roads on both sides of the mountains and flowers, a huge car was suddenly stopped. Several ecclesiastical priests wearing robes knelt in front of the car, and one of them was in front of the car. An ugly expression reported that the great knight commander had fallen and died in battle. There was a slight and imperceptible anger in the chariot. Although it was angry, it fell into the ears as soft as a mountain breeze. Melodious,
"brush"
With the chariot as the axis, more than a hundred Templar knights dressed in the crest of the wish tree knelt on the ground neatly. One hundred thousand Templar soldiers lay all over the ground, the white armor reflected in the sunlight, white light like The sea, the wind swept across the banner and whirred. The murderous air rose to the sky, and the towering lances were awe-inspiring.
The death of the Great Knight Commander Luoshan has spread throughout the Templar Army. The famous Great Knight Commander, the commander of hundreds of thousands of the Southern Allied Forces, fell into a raid and has become the laughing stock of the South.
"The Great Knight Commander Luoshan is dead, why are you still alive?"
Inside the white curtain on the chariot, wearing a golden pope's uniform, a black silk waterfall, the Pope, slowly stood up from the altar, looking at the sky far away with incomparably holy gaze , His lips squirmed, his pupils were dark, two lines of blood dripped from the corners of his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly,
"Take him down and let him return to the sacred tree!"
" Your Majesty, I really am... "The high priest still wanted to plead, and several Templar knights had rushed up like wolves and took the pale-faced sect nation’s priest from The chariot dragged down like a dead dog. A few days ago, he was still one of the three big priests of the Order. No one looked at this poor high priest again. The army of the Order Kingdom has always sacrificed at the same time as the Templars. The one in charge, this time is the same. It was the High Priest of Hafengluo who went to the Allied Forces with the Great Knight Commander Luoshan. From the moment the news of the death of the Great Knight Commander Luoshan was received, the sect’s "Baidu·Qihangwen" country The senior officials knew that the High Priest of Hafengluo was dead. If it was someone else, that would be the Great Knight Commander of the Mountain, the father of the contemporary Pope, although the contemporary Pope has just waited for the position of the Pope. Three years, but absolutely no one will get ahead under such circumstances
" This matter must be returned with blood! "The anger from the upper level in the south, the Southern Allied Forces urgently drew out strength from the reserve forces, plus some returning troops, the total strength is twenty full The Corps quickly gathered towards the coalition base camp and re-established the commanders of all countries.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Wish Tree Sect "Iron Wall" Pema Grand Knight Commander
General of the Kingdom of Fezer Rocotti Varisi

At the base camp of the coalition forces, the six highest commanders of the coalition forces, looking at the list of battle damages in front of them, were silent, with sadness and sorrow in their eyes. On the night of June 29, the Hungarian army attacked the southern coalition base camp. In the smoky morning light, the Hungarian cavalry retreated like a tide, but the impact was spreading rapidly. The Hungarian assault and a **** night caused heavy losses on the coalition. Over 27,000 people were killed in battle. The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces fell to the death of the Great Knight. Six generals of his countries were killed and 11 wounded. The entire Allied Command was almost paralyzed by half. In addition to the most severely damaged religious regiment state, there is also the Harvey Kingdom, which enjoys a long history and The royal cavalry regiment with a glorious history of war was just as hard as it was. Two hundred King Harvey specially sent to the coalition base camp to practice internship with the Wang family’s children. More than one hundred and fifty people died in the battle, including His Majesty’s. The three nephews, Duke Fetai, the commander of the Harvey Kingdom, managed to restrain the impulse of the commander who ordered the day to drag the dog to feed the dog.
Compared to two months ago, the coalition forces sent troops to Istanbul to defeat the invasion of the Eastern Province. The morale of the coalition forces was high. The morale of the coalition forces now can be described as low, and the generals looked at a loss. Nearly 200,000 troops of coalition forces have gathered on the land in the center of hundreds of square kilometers, but in the hearts of these coalition soldiers, there is no sense of security at all. Even if the coalition base camp has been attacked, other camps are even more difficult to say, fifty thousand. With the impact of the Hungarian fast-riding force, the forced coalition camp had to adopt a policy of contraction. Strategically, it showed a ridiculous situation of being suppressed.
" If you can't win a victory in a short time, the morale of the coalition will never be restored. We can't catch up with the Hungarian cavalry. Can we not even beat the army of the opposing empire?" Among the commanders of the six nations, the Duke Feitai of the Harvey Kingdom roared loudly and clapped his hands at the battle map on the table. "Our army has 200,000 people, and the follow-up force is nearly 500,000. In terms of military strength, occupy Absolute advantage, even "Set Sail·Mengzi☆Xingmeng" is a two-on-one, and we also won! "
" The Falcon Army has Thor to deal with the colony, and the frontal impact is not good for us!" Prince Musk of the Kingdom of Ikal has a look of embarrassment, with a dignified look. The Kingdom of Ikal has sent 60,000 camel cavalry this time. , Prince Musk doesn’t want to be placed on the front line of the impact. The Falcon Empire’s Thor is so fierce that almost all the European countries have formed a consensus, that is, to face a team with Thor. The Falcon Empire Army will pay twice to three times the loss. The Falcon Empire Army on the opposite side is close to 200,000. Is it necessary to fill in 600,000 people?
"It would be great if the imperial army's Thor could be contained!" The prince Darius from Martin Lifang, with blue eyes like the ocean reflecting the topography map on the table, his hand suddenly pointed at the map At one point, he said condensedly, "I think we have all forgotten an important question, that is, the purpose of the Falcon Empire’s troops is to rescue Istanbul. In that case, we can use Istanbul as a bait to bring the Falcon The imperial army was lured out from the defense, and Thor was used as a field weapon, but it was almost useless in the sudden encounters."
"Istan Kyoto!" The six-nation commander's gaze fell on the finger position of the great monarch Darius, his expressions were invariably motivated. The method Darius said was not impossible. Thor was heavy and he encountered a surprise attack. Encounters like this simply can’t work, which is tantamount to breaking the Falcon Empire’s greatest support. The great monarch in the Kingdom of Martin Liya is equivalent to the title of the duke, but the power is much greater than that of the duke, and not only has independence. The territory, thousands of slaves, and large-scale private legions, for example, this Darius brought a private legion of 70,000 people,
"Then, let’s attack Istanbul! My Harvey Army can be the main attack force!" Duke Fei Tai nodded in agreement
"Yes, knock out Istanbul first!" The other commanders agreed. That night, the coalition forces of as many as fifteen teams started their operations. The total force is between 150,000 and 200,000, and the governors of the Istanbul region are also moving along with them. The governors of these regions act together with the main force of the coalition forces and are organized into six combat teams. Although the combat effectiveness is not very good, The number is huge. There are as many as 60,000, and the total strength is close to 250,000. This is an astonishing number. The strength of the attack on Istanbul is even more than that of the Falcon Empire on the opposite side.
"Woo...oooo...oooo..."
At noon, the long bugle sound reverberated in the Great Plains of Kyoto, Istan. After receiving the report from the front, Varisian became nervous inexplicably. Is such a large-scale coalition mobilization really coming for revenge? ? But how to mobilize is the direction of Istanbul and Kyoto? Is the other party going to eat Istanbul in one bite, and then turn around to deal with himself? This is too illogical, what exactly does the coalition want to do? "Varisian's head is so big that he thought the other party would take revenge, so he dug a total of seven or eight deep trenches outside the camp, and waited for the other party to hit his head and let his blood flow, but the other party actually showed this. Regardless of the posture, standing on the guard tower high in the camp, looking at the southern horizon. There is already a turmoil, and all the troops are urgently assembled amidst the sound of the humming bugles. The iron pieces of the armor were sparsely made noise, and teams of infantry marched in the direction of Istanbul
"Tell Yaosen that the main coalition forces are moving in the direction of Istanbul, Kyoto!"
Varisian said with a solemn expression to the soldiers behind him, that the 50,000 cavalry of Yao Sen is the main mobile force of the imperial army. After the assault on the coalition base camp succeeded, the 50,000 Hungarian cavalry returned for three days for repairs and released them again. After going out, the advantage of the Hungarian cavalry lies in its high mobility and rapid attack
Especially the leader of the army is the lone wolf Yaosen. Under his leadership, the Hungarian cavalry may only appear in front of a coalition camp in the morning. At noon, they shot arrows randomly outside a coalition camp a hundred miles away. Fifty thousand Hungarian cavalry, divided into countless teams, like sharp arrows, spread across the roads, fields, plains, woods, grasslands, deserts, villages, woods, and brown fields of the Kyoto Plain in Istanbul. The golden fields and pastures put pressure on the coalition’s 200,000 defense line. After the coalition’s 30,000 cavalry was damaged in battle, this situation was even more difficult. It was not until the camel cavalry from the Kingdom of Ikar arrived that it was stable.
Duke Fetai, the commander of the Harvey Kingdom, stood twenty miles away from Istanbul, and squinted at the infantry group in front of him. The big red cloak fell from his shoulder to the ground, like two giants. Before the big octopuses engage in hand-to-hand combat, their long tentacles are the first to come into contact. The small fortresses on the outskirts of Istanbul are naturally the first to be uprooted.
More than a dozen black smoke pillars strewn across the clouds, and blazing flames emerge from these stone bunkers, like red fire snakes entangled on them, where the black smoke rises, it is a piece of metal. The reflections of the war, the dense swords, and the dust rising from the queue, the 60,000 infantrymen of the Harvey Kingdom directly hit the outer defense line of Istanbul as the forefront. The Istanbul side was completely unprepared, and would never have thought of it. The main force of the coalition forces will turn their spearheads and break these small castles like a ruin,
When the sun rises, the coalition forces with more than 100,000 troops spread out and moved forward in a straggler line.
As far as the eye can see, in people’s field of vision, the end of the horizon seems to be full of colorful flowers everywhere. A series of densely packed flags lined up one after another, and the end and the end could not be seen. The vast battlefield was densely covered with soldiers and horses ready to attack, sending soldiers galloping between the battlefields, sorting out the queue.
"These bastards, bully the soft and fear the hard!"
The new emperor of the Istan Empire yelled at the military meeting in anger. These southern coalition forces did not dare to trouble the Falcon Empire, so they spread all their anger on Istar Kyoto. It was easy to suppress the influence of the prince’s affairs, but I did not expect to encounter such a problem again,
In any case, the main coalition forces have put out an array to conquer Istanbul, but Istanbul is the core of the Istanbul Empire after all. The foundation of the empire for many years is not easy to provoke.
After the Imperial Navy cut off the southern sea route to Istanbul, the 100,000 former soldiers of the Istanian Empire who had been stranded in Feishan were released back to the country~IndoMTL.com~ Although there is a lot of resentment towards the country , But in the face of national crisis, a large number of soldiers have rejoined the new emperor’s army.
The joining of these professional soldiers with rich combat experience has greatly improved the combat power of the Istanbul Army. Although the force is still controlled at the limit of 80,000, there are more than 20,000 veterans. With these Istanbul’s army has a lot of confidence, and a large number of ordnance from the Falcon Empire has been imported, which has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Istanbul. In June, the new emperor of Istanbul has signed a secret agreement with the empire. Completely recognize that the Falcon Empire is its suzerain, and use all the rights and interests of the ten southern provinces as collateral to loan 10 million gold coins to the Falcon Empire,
This time, the new emperor of the Istan empire personally sits at the main camp of Kyoto, standing on the city wall of Istanbul, which has not experienced war for a hundred years, looking forward, and seeing the faint black outline of the tide on the horizon, he takes a deep breath "Finally started." The coalition offensive echelon composed of twenty teams is rolling towards the city wall, the front is shining with the metal light of armored shields and long spears, and the earth makes a sound of overwhelming burden. It is countless feet cruel. With the sound of stomping down, the cold light flashing spears stretched out in front, rushing forward, the forest-like spears pointed forward, as if a high-speed moving aperture appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "A dense crowd of dark shadows shot out from the capital of Istanbul. It was the sling above the city wall, and under the wall, thousands of coalition infantry rushed in. The moment the giant sling rolled into the crowd, the scattered blood blossoms bloomed like flowers on the earth," [To be continued] []
