Power and Empire Chapter 702: Demonstration (4)
The sky in Paravin gradually changed, becoming more gloomy, more depressing, and even more unpredictable. When Belisus took 3,000 soldiers from the Falcon Legion, appeared in Pa When it was on a hill on the west side of Lavin, the battle flag with the falcon logo quickly attracted the attention of the confrontation outside the city
The first people sent were the crusaders outside the city. These guys under the banner of the kingdom’s orthodoxy were very nervous about the presence of the Falcon Legion near Palavin. Now the situation is unknown. Although according to the agreement, the crusades and the The Falcon dynasty is an alliance, but the previous requests to urge the Falcon dynasty to send troops to jointly attack Palavin have all fallen into stone.
Now the Falcon Dynasty suddenly sends troops to the flanks of the crusaders. If the army of the Falcon Kingdom unites with the rebels in the city to launch a surprise attack, the 200,000 crusaders outside the city will fall into a situation where they will be attacked.
The soldiers of the Crusade Army with low morale are completely incomparable with the Falcon King ** who defeated the Eastern Army Army. They only need to pose an attacking posture. This nominally powerful 200,000 Crusade Army will soon be. There are signs of a crash,
As the army of the East Court was first defeated in Ribogan, and then suffered a disaster in Amela, in the hearts of the Swadian people, a unique view of military strength has been formed. An elite cavalry of the East Court is equal to Two Swadian knights, three to four Swadian infantry, ten peasants or more, and the falcon cavalry, which almost wiped out the Eastern cavalry, can be imagined for their combat effectiveness
After a brief communication with Belisus, when he learned that the target of the Falcon King** was not the crusade, but only a small unit of only 3,000 men against the rebels in the city,
The Swadian Minister quickly turned into a kind of arrogance after his initial panic,
He looked at the Falcon soldiers who were arranging the defensive belt, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction in front of Belisus, expressing a certain point.
"Your country is really stingy. It is the honorable and glorious King Harous that is married to your country. What an honor is this. As an external member of the Swadian royal family, is your Majesty Falcon? Did not send out the army at all to assist His Majesty Harous to eradicate the consciousness of the rebels entrenched in Paravin?
"Like your Excellency, I took 3,000 troops to do things. I really don’t know what your Majesty Falcon thinks. Look at our Swadian, you can pull up an army of hundreds of thousands at will. "
"Your country is really strong. It's like we have to make careful calculations every time we fight, so we have to use inferior forces to meet the 100,000 army of Dongting people"
Belithus deliberately pretended to be in pain, shook his head, and said casually, "If our Majesty had an army of hundreds of thousands like Harous's, we would have already defeated the rebels in the city at this moment and placed it in the palace. Have a celebration drink"
"..."
This Minister of Swadian was speechless and his face flushed slightly. How could he not hear that Belisus was mocking their incompetence. Although there were 200,000 troops, there was nothing to do with tens of thousands of rebels. The Falcon dynasty used tens of thousands of troops to defeat the fact that Dongting’s 100,000 elites, compared with how clumsy and ignorant his own judgment was.
"Cough cough, the 3,000 soldiers brought by Lord Belisus this time does not seem to be the horrible Vicia crossbowman? The Minister of Swadian coughed with embarrassment, and wanted to rely on 3. Thousands of soldiers have difficulty defending this mountainous region. I don’t know if there is any place that needs our assistance?"
He has long discovered that these 3,000 soldiers do not seem to be regular heavy infantry or rumored crossbowmen. The bodies of these soldiers are obviously taller than ordinary people, with a special ring on their arms. The iron ring, it seems to be used to match something
Belisus smiled indifferently, "My lord's eyes are really harsh. These are indeed not crossbowmen, but archers. This time, my task is to meet my relatives. There shouldn't be any fight for help, right"
"Three thousand archers?" The Swadian minister paused his gaze on these burly soldiers, and then the contempt on his face became more intense. What a strong body, how could he become a bow and arrow? I have a hand,
The archers are not taken seriously in the Swadian who advocating reloading, especially in the two years when the Vikya crossbowmen have risen rapidly. Compared with the Vikya crossbowmen’s strong armor-breaking ability and ultra-long range, The setting of archers in various countries is consciously weakening,
The training of a qualified archer often takes more than half a year, but on the battlefield, the role that can be played is more and more limited. Since it is not possible to suppress the opponent in a confrontation, it is better to focus on close It’s more appropriate to break through the enemy’s line of defense,
This is the mainstream thinking of infantry combat in mainland China. As long as they can defeat the opponent’s infantry defense line, archers and so on, they can hardly be considered. These units that don’t even have basic lock armor will definitely run into a rout. The fastest,
Hundreds of years of chaotic warfare on the mainland. Except for siege battles, it is almost difficult to see the large-scale appearance of archers in field battles. Even the Sikkgit cavalry mainly relied on the mobile harassment and harassment of light cavalry. Cut off the other side’s supplies, only the Dongting people who have always been closed to the country, and large-scale archers
"Well, since your Excellency said so, then I will go back first"
The Minister of Swadian who found out the situation saluted like Belisus and was about to turn around and leave. There were 3,000 archers, this kind of force really seemed insufficient,
"Oh, that's right." At this moment, Belisus seemed to think of something, and took out a letter from his arms. "This is a letter written by His Majesty Falcon to His Majesty Harous, please join us. Bring it back"
Sent away the Minister of Swadian, Belisus showed a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered the messengers who had been waiting outside, "Order the squadrons to enter the defensive area according to the previous arrangement, and immediately store our 10 Door Thor stands up to the top of the mountain"
The messenger of the second prince in Palavin City came a little later. When he got off the horse, he just saw a Thor was dangled by a rope and pulled up to the top of the mountain. A number of round incendiary bombs were piled on the ground. The officer yelled and shouted there, the dark and dark barrels were exactly the same as in the rumors,
"This is Thor." The messenger in the city was so scared and sweated by the sight before his eyes that he came down on the spot. He once fought with the Vijaya army and was a member of the Northern Army who had been released. He has been baptized by Thor in several breakouts. Based on experience, he knows that this terrifying weapon has a range of about 400 meters and is powerful enough to tear apart all the defenses of the city wall.
If you set up on the top of the mountain, depending on the height and angle, you can bomb the Palavin city wall 500 meters away. The Vikya people do it like this, it looks like they are preparing for the siege. The Palavin city wall is a traitor. The only defensive line of the army, once it collapses or is destroyed, crusaders outside the city will surely swarm in, and it will be the end of the rebel army.
"Your Excellency Belisus, you... what are you doing?" This messenger almost trot all the way, just when he encountered Belisus patrolling the hillside defense,
"Oh, is there any problem?" Belisus pretended to be confused.
"Well, is that what did your country do to help the rebels outside the city?" The messenger pointed angrily at the top of the mountain not far away, and the thunder god’s muzzles lined up were faintly visible. Shining with a terrifying luster, the hideous black hole seems to be able to **** in the soul
"Your Excellency is too worried. It is just a row of devices for releasing fireworks. When the princess gets married, it will shoot breathtakingly beautiful fireworks to express our majesty's welcome to the princess"
Belithus looked in the direction of his fingers, smiled at the corners of his mouth, his face was pure as a baby,
"Is it a breathtaking explosion or a soaring fire over Palavin" The messenger's angry face was flushed, staring at Belisus as if he was about to spew out fire, he said word by word "Don’t think I don’t know it. It is one of the most terrifying weapons of your army. The Thunder God and Ghost Country worshipped this weapon on the opposite side of the Palavin City Wall, demonstrating against Palavin and defiance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You are killing yourself"
"Really?" Belisus shrugged noncommittal and said lightly
"If your Excellency wants to think so, then I can’t help it. I am a soldier, and my duty is to execute orders. It says that this is a firework, then it is a firework. If you are unsatisfied, please find it directly. Your Majesty Falcon petitions "
"However, I heard that the city has not been peaceful recently, and I don’t know how long the second prince’s royal prince will be in charge." Belisus paused, and suddenly said in a ridiculous tone, "If you are the messenger of the petition When meeting with my king, the second majesty had an accident. What an embarrassing thing is that"
"What do you mean by this sentence?" The messenger's face was a little pale~IndoMTL.com~Under the playful gaze of Belysus, this messenger felt like a clown without clothes.
"Isn't it?" Belisus smiled, staring sharply at him. The second royal prince’s status has not been recognized until now. Although he has restored his active posture with this, he has repeatedly Appeared in front of all countries. But the nobles of Kyoto, the nobles of the place, who really supports him,
Take the example of the Marquis of Burdak this time. Those family adults who verbally claimed to support the Second Highness, after entering the capital, should they first meet the Marquis of Burdak or the Second Highness? Who is the real master of Palavin? Your Excellency should know better than me."
"This..."
The messenger’s face was full of shock and shame. He did not expect that the Falcon Army knew so much about the situation in the city.
Actually, as Belisus said, the first thing that the rich and powerful people in those places entered Beijing, the first thing they did when they arrived in Kyoto was not to visit the Second Royal Highness who was the crown prince.
It is the first visit to Kyoto’s most powerful Bodak, it seems that he is the real master of Kyoto
