Power and Empire Chapter 335: Battle in Kyoto (1)

The scent of wild flowers wafts in the cool night breeze. Sucked into Crolitsart’s nose with water vapor, a towering black shadow is faintly visible in the dark curtain in the distance, the shimmering Satsuma Lijiang is surrounded like a silver belt, and the bushes are in the night breeze. Singing, April glowworms are flying among the trees, and there is a rushing torrent in my ears. Everything seems so peaceful and calm

A trivial sound of leaf stamping came from behind, "Report your lord, the Longbow Banner has reached the predetermined position!" A guard came out of the bushes next to him and whispered to Crowley, who was squatting in the bushes. Sartre reported that even though he was already the commander of the army, Crolitsat, who was born as a hunter, still liked to hide in the bushes as before, using his night eyes that could penetrate hundreds of meters to examine carefully in the dark. Opponent

The Kyoto West Line is not the southern line where the main force gathers. However, the terrain is more dangerous than in the south. I only have mountain troops who are not good at attacking and fighting. What I have to face is the elite and tough natural defense line of the Kyoto Army.

The rushing Satsuma Kuri River is Kyoto’s first natural barrier. After passing through the vast southern plains, it hits the hilly area in the west. The terrain of the west makes the Satsuma Kuri River swiftly turn to the south.

This makes the Satsuma Lijiang River form a narrow corner in the west. The entire west looks very large, but there are only a few places suitable for crossing the river. Although the nearby Fetelai Town has the flattest terrain, it is most suitable for large army battles. However, the main force of the Kyoto Army is also arranged there. Hundreds of heavy sling structures form a large dense net. Any vessel attempting to cross the river will be smashed into pieces immediately. For the mountain army that lacks craftsmen, storming the river is a way to attack the river. Mission impossible

The military order from the Legion Department for the Battle of Kyoto in three days has been sent to Crolithat. This makes Crolisart a bit difficult. After a few points of inspection, Crolisart’s eyes fixed on the most avant-garde position. That was the corner center of Satsuma Yuri River, Danzawa Castle, which is the whole of Kyoto. The most important fortress on the west side is also an important fulcrum on the western line of Kyoto.

The Kyoto Army deployed a flag regiment force in Danzig, which echoed the main force of the lower reaches of the Fetelai River Beach. Crolithat took a fancy to it. It's because this is the corner of Satsuma Yuri River. It is the narrowest section of the river. The wide river surface of more than 50 meters begins to shrink to more than 20 meters here. Although the water flow becomes rushing and dangerous here, it is the most suitable for the mountain army to cross the river

Crolissat looked at the slightly white sky. Five o'clock is the most tired time. The defenders on Danzig Castle have been significantly reduced. Some soldiers even dozed off on the battlements. No one would think that the Samor army will come from Danzig Castle. It is not only difficult to strengthen. The attacking fortress, the rushing Er River is not suitable for forced crossing operations, even the largest merchant ship will be immediately washed away.

Crolissat’s eyes closed tightly, and the rapid sound of the river and the whistling wind came from her keen ears. Crolithat was waiting, and the wind on the river began to slow down. Krolly, a hunter, was born. Sartre knew that a period of time before the sun appeared every day. All vents will slow down,

"Do it!" Crolitsat's eyes lit up. Quickly drilled out of the bushes, and the heavy hunting bow in his hand was raised high, shooting a whistling arrow from the sky like "Kill!" Numerous thorn tile longbowmen suddenly rushed out from the dense forest opposite Danzig Fort. The body squatted down quickly, and the bowstring of the longbow was tightened with a burst of cracking sound, "shooting" the dense arrowheads like a swarm of locusts suddenly violent. Draw an arc in the air, and fell towards the Danzig defenders who hadn't reacted yet.

"Ah, there were only a thousand guards on duty in the castle, and they were immediately penetrated by the powerful thorn tile longbow, and the defenseless Kyoto army immediately fell down." Woohoo! "Castle!" The alarm trombone is all around!

"Quick! Get hooked." The Captains of the Samor Longbow shouted that the stab archer’s long arrows were quickly replaced with a thick string of arrows. This action has been practiced hundreds of times, and the longbowmen completed the conversion within a few seconds.

"Height ten:, shoot!" With the loud screams of the captains, countless specially-made arrowheads tied with ropes shot out of the powerful thorn tile longbow, and over 20 meters of river surface jumped over. Hung tightly on the opposite battlement

"The longbow is covering, the hunter's flag regiment crosses the river!" Crolitsat frowned, and a serious voice came from behind to order the soldiers. Unexpectedly, the guards on the opposite side were so vigilant that they immediately attacked. The alarm bell rang, it is only a few miles away from the Fetelai River where there are ten thousand elites stationed here, and reinforcements will arrive in half an hour at most,

Countless Samor soldiers carrying huge shields behind their backs, biting a sharp hunting knife in their mouths, piercing out of the woods, hanging upside down like monkeys, swiftly nailing them along the battlements. They are all mountain hunters from the southern barbarians. Climbing and shooting are their housekeeping skills. The steep mountains and cliffs make them the best stage to show off. Seeing them using their hands and feet together, it was as fast as sliding on a rope, the rope trembling on their fingers~IndoMTL.com~Underneath is the rushing Satsuma Lie, if one is not careful, it will fall down

"Quick! They are going to climb up right away". A Kyoto army commander on the opposite side shouted that he was the closest person to the fortress along the river. Just now, with the body of his companion, he escaped the first wave of arrow rain, and the golden morning light shone from the clouds. The sight in front of him made him gasp. I saw hundreds of ropes connected to the battlements from the high hills across the river, all of which were full of people. The dense silhouettes make his scalp numb

"Block them". The Kyoto Army clearly showed the attempt of the Samor Army, and countless soldiers rushed forward with the thorn tile longbow on the opposite side. The sharp and powerful longbow shooting made them fall one by one. Within a hundred meters, even the shields could not stop the volley of powerful longbows of the Thornwa tribe. For a while, but Ze’s Kyoto Army was shot swaying, and it was impossible to form enough. Thick defense

"Archers! Hurry! Hurry!" The Kyoto defenders shouted, and the line moved away from the middle. A team of archers drove to the top of the castle. Danzeburg's defenders were mainly defensive, among which the archers Occupying the majority, the arrows were like rain for a time, crossing the sky on both sides with a stern sound

"Puff Puff" arrows shot at the chest of the longbowman, splashing snowflakes, and the soldiers who were crawling forward on the rope also fell from the rope a lot of "pop" a hunter swiftly What a surprise. Turned over and jumped from the rope to the battlements on the ground with both feet"
