Power and Empire Chapter 3234: Turning point (1)
Although scholars of later generations have their own opinions on the reasons for the collapse of the Eero Empire, they all agree that the battle for Rutiazi Fort can be regarded as a turning point in the battle of Eero’s capital. In this battle, the few elites left in the Erot Empire are almost filled in..."
The battle at the entrance is like two giants shrinking into a small circle and fighting each other. The cavalry first collided with each other. Almost as soon as the two cavalry saw each other, they were already in a chaotic battle. The cavalry screamed fiercely after being shot, the body of the cavalry above was splashed with scary bright red, the moment the cavalry stabbed the target, the horrible sound of bones being pierced, the horses rolled and fell to the ground as they ran, the collision of the two forces was like the whole The strong assault momentum suddenly snapped, and the horseshoe leaned into the soil, and it was red when it was lifted up. This is a death fight, there is no retreat, only the victor and the corpse, the battle that rushes through the entrance. In the beginning, we entered the tragedy of life and death
Pollard is riding a black horse, watching the fight ahead, his old face is even more icy. For this gap, he invested in a very elite team of thousands, but he did not expect that the opposite teacher The regiment seems to attach great importance to this gap. After the initial more than a thousand troops, more troops soon emerged from behind. The heavy guns are cold and sharp, the steel shield stands up, and the screaming battle banner is just like it. A strong steel wall, it is obvious that the religious regiment has already prepared the situation that once a gap is established, a large army will flow in. This is too dangerous. The external forces are in the sub-forts, and the outer sub-forts are so scattered, the other side Pollard’s goal should be to penetrate between the periphery and the capital in one go. When he thought of this seemingly simple tactic, but has a sword-sealing effect on his own sub-fort tactics, Pollard has made up his mind. If it is so easy to advance under the city wall, then Pollard can also dictate myself
"Call all my guards here"
Pollard's frowning brows have been twisted into a Kawako, and he shouted sharply. At present, the only way to deal with this kind of intrusion is to fight immediately. As the only reserve force on the periphery, Pollard mobilized to his side. The total number of the guards is about 5,000, of which there are 500 elite guards, all of which are heavily armored. Pollard placed these 500 guards in the most destructive middle. The position, once the front collapses or breaks through, the cavalry can quickly fill in. Among the remaining more than 4,000 light infantry, there are 2,000 of the well-powered Rielling infantry, and there are 2,000 lightly equipped assault infantry.
, glanced over the army's dispersal on the front lines of the war banner, Pollard took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand. The moment of Eero’s life and death is already involved. From the general to the soldier, they are very clear in their hearts. Once Let the Order ** open up a smooth road, King Eero has no room to defend, and King Eero’s natural terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is completely impossible to expect to use strong walls to achieve stability, so If you can’t kill the entire tree of the cult army that swarms into the entrance, the dominance of this war will change. Staring at the front, Pollard raised his hand and slammed down, screaming, "Kill the enemy out." !"
"Kill!" The five thousand spirits and morale of the Eero Army are like a torrent rolling forward, because occupying the home field, the Eero soldier's queue does not need to be able to avoid the defense line of the sub-fort, just like A huge curling mouth rolled back toward the gap, and the first force of the Erot Guards horses stepped on heavy horseshoes, like a desperate mountain, the previous battle has been fought for more than an hour. Although it was only a thousand-person battle, it was already extremely tragic. The trump cards that can be sent by both sides are undoubtedly the trump cards of the trump cards. Now only one-third of them are left. Suddenly encountering such a large-scale encirclement, the cult has already Completely messed up,
"Withdraw!
The main force of the Erotians is here!
The fierce battle has been fought for more than an hour, and the entire line of defense has been fighting. The corpse stood up half a meter in front and pressed against the **** layer by layer. Under such ultra-close distance push and collision, The sound and shadow of the sect soldiers running in a panic caused the Erot Guards who were chasing behind to flush with excitement. The cavalry spear wielded in their hands slammed into the body of an ecclesiastical soldier. In the eyes of the army, these hundreds of running enemies are living prey. They are like sharp blades inserted into the battlefield, cutting and destroying these running sect forces. The infantry marching in a line behind them firmly and effectively steadily moves forward. The goal is to close the gap, and now it seems that only the front of the Janissaries cavalry is needed
It can be done
"It seems that the cult army will not add new troops. After all, this is our home field. We can run around freely, but they can only pass through the gap of more than 100 meters in width." Pollard said The horse was stopped in the center of the battlefield full of corpses, and his gaze recovered from the unsuspecting triumphant pursuit in front, but soon, when dozens of red fireballs, flying over a distance of two hundred meters, slammed toward in an arc. When this direction came, everything in front of him changed suddenly, and Pollard was directly overturned by the hot air wave that hit his face. When he got up, he could only see a place 30 or 40 meters away from him. Forward. It's already a piece of smoke, such a distance, and it's still so, one can imagine. What a terrifying sight in the center of the explosion, in the diffuse gunpowder smoke, the sound of explosions like beans is not very loud, but if dozens of explosions sound at the same time, they still sound for a few minutes. That's another matter. Numerous objects flew up in the light clusters, and some flew high into the sky, and then fell in irregular curves under his red gaze, representing For more than a hundred years, the glory of the Imperial Guard has been blown up into a twisted and deformed shield,
outside the capital of Eero, there is nothing but chaos under the gloomy sky
The sound of fighting from a distance can already be heard from the wind. I believe this sound should be heard even in the city of Eero at this moment, staring at the deep place that is constantly approaching the wall of the royal capital. , Nikaiant, the prince of Eero, who had rushed out of the city of Eero, under the protection of a group of Eero’s imperial guards, rushed towards Rutia Zibao as the command post outside the city
Lutiazi Fort is a veritable king’s capital, rather than a temporary fortification like other fortifications. The length and width of Lutiazi Fort is within the range of 500 meters. It has a solid exterior of 30 meters. The wall, a complete set of shooters, each corner has a shooting tower capable of accommodating more than a hundred shooters. Under normal garrison conditions, it can reach about a thousand people, and it is also equipped with two squadrons of assault cavalry. Even if the force is surrounded by tens of thousands of people, as long as the strong walls and abundant food in the sub-fort are enough to drag the first half of the year, it used to be the palace where the emperor Erot was hunting outside. With the outbreak of war, it has become the perimeter defense commander. Officer Pollard’s command center
Soldiers along the way saw the Royal Guards of Eero holding the king’s flag and voluntarily stepped aside. It took less than an hour for Nikaiante to reach Rutiazi Fort, but when he saw When Commander Pollard covered the body of White Cloth, this unremarkable and unremarkable prince Eero couldn't help shaking his body, and asked angrily, "How did the teacher die? Didn’t you let you protect the teacher? How could such a thing happen again!"
" Your Highness, it happened suddenly, Lord Pollard insisted on attacking immediately, so..." Several royal guard officers who were in charge of Pollard's protection knelt on the ground with pale faces and quickly replied. "Just this morning, Lord Pollard made a patrol according to the usual practice. The cult army suddenly launched an offensive. I don't know how to obtain a considerable amount of Thor. After continuous fierce bombardment on our defense line, it broke in with elite troops. In order to stabilize the line of defense, Lord Pollard hurriedly ordered the army of his servants to fight, our army won a big victory, but the sect ** suddenly attacked with Thor, and the adult was killed by six shrapnels. He was seriously injured and died. Incompetent, please punish me for the inability of the guards. Lord Pollard told me to convey to His Royal Highness before he died, and please send troops to stop the opponent from advancing, otherwise it would cost the opponent to advance under the walls of the royal capital. The sub-fort defense line built with great painstaking effort will be equivalent to a fake, and the Thunder God owned by the opponent will launch a ruthless bombardment on our King Capital. At that time, the entire King Eero will be afraid..." The officer's voice stopped, one. He looked at the prince Nikaiante with his face hesitant to speak, but he didn't dare to say any more.
" The teacher is indeed the loyal and brave general of my Eero. Even at the last moment, I will not forget me Eero. I already know the last words. I will definitely not let the sect army take any further steps. From now on, I am Nikai’an. The special general sits in this fort himself! "The prince Nikaiante saluted his teacher with a painful look, and then looked at the guards officers, his face suddenly became colder." Since Bo Lord Ladd’s last words have been delivered, do you have anything else to say?"
" Master Pollard’s last words have been delivered, and I have no regrets waiting, I only hope that His Highness can repel the cult army as soon as possible.
, as soon as possible ascend to the throne of Lord Ero." After these words, several guard officers stood up neatly with serious expressions and paid a military salute to the prince Nikaiante, and then walked neatly to Pollard. Next to his corpse, he pulled out a scorpion-tailed dagger he wore on his waist and slammed it into his chest. The blood dyed the white cloth covered with blood red, and finally fell straight to the ground, watching In this scene, the anger on the face of Nikaiant, the prince of Eero, disappeared a little, his eyes fell on Pollard under the blood-stained white cloth, and his eyes suddenly increased a little bit of distress
" Amoa, you immediately report the news to my father when you return to the king’s capital. After the new commander arrives, I will leave." The prince Nikaiant turned and walked outside, walking down the steps of the chamber. And said to his confidant’s adjutant
" It’s natural for your Majesty to report this news to your Majesty immediately, but why did your Highness leave? Since they have apologized, under the current circumstances, if they deal with their family members’ guilt in the city, it will make the city think that the war ahead is unfavorable. When the family members of the army are dealt with, there must be the death of an empire general. It is better to suppress it first. You can also use this opportunity to request your majesty to deploy the Imperial Guard as support in addition to the peripheral command. The death of Lord Pollard is a clear proof. "Amoa, the adjutant who followed the prince, gave a careful report
" Do you mean to take this opportunity to completely take over the military power in the hands of the teacher? "Although the prince Nikaiante has mediocre talents, he is not stupid in his many years of royal life.
" Your Majesty, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, although your Majesty is seriously ill, the military power is still firmly in his hands, showing the natural character of an iron-fisted king, but he is always responsible for handling daily government affairs, for military generals I’m afraid there won’t be many of your Highness apart from Lord Pollard."
Adjutant Amoa's eyes flickered, and his expression exhilarated.
" Everyone can tell that your Majesty should not be able to survive this winter, but there are also many outstanding children in the royal family. How many people are eager to move. I believe that within the short time that His Royal Highness leaves Eero today, it will inevitably be Numerous vicious rumors have spread to His Majesty. Although His Majesty, as the eldest son, has the natural priority of inheritance, who dares to say that once your Majesty listens to the slander, or the military or the ministers of state affairs have their own goals, the most threatening Nepalese Kateke has died in Lisboa, but isn’t the candidate for marriage in Aden also uncertain? This is undoubtedly saying that the position of His Highness is very unstable. I don’t know how many ambitious royal children will be shaken. If His Highness can at this moment Having made merits in the periphery~IndoMTL.com~ even repelled the cult army, then there is no dispute about your Highness's succession to the throne."
"But I have never been in a battlefield, and I am a newcomer in command. How can I be the opponent of the opposing sect army..." Nikaiante was obviously moved by being said, but thought of it. My talents are mediocre, and I can’t help but frown. This opportunity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although the external troops under the command of the teacher are not really elite, if all the external forces are integrated, I’m afraid it will be. There are also as many as forty to fifty thousand, accounting for more than one-third of the current Eero’s troops. As long as he thinks that so many troops are in his own hands, Nikaiante is shaking with excitement
"The war is the generals' business. With such a noble status, your Highness only needs to sit in town," the adjutant said with a weird face
Nikaiant’s hesitation soon became absolute, and he said to his adjutant, “You’re right, I’m afraid there won’t be a second chance like this. Now my father is seriously ill, even sometimes in a trance. Who would dare to say that he would not be tempted to suddenly target himself, and as the eldest son of the emperor, when the country is in distress, as the eldest prince, he personally sits on the periphery, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers of the Kingdom of Erot in **** battle with the enemy, this is inevitable I will let myself, the eldest prince, take over as the emperor and get more support. Please also tell my father by the way that this is the only request I have made as the eldest son of the king for more than 20 years.” Nikaiant immediately asked for a letter. , Ten minutes later, sealed the letter and handed it to Adjutant Amoa
"Understand, Your Highness can rest assured" Adjutant Amoa nodded, and immediately took the letter and stepped on the horse and galloped away
