The city of Stalos, the "hard" battle is underway,
Flying clusters of arrows continue to shuttle between the two sides, one by one with a death arc, across the sky like a locust, "shooting" into the queues of the soldiers on both sides,
From time to time, you can see soldiers from both sides. In order to fight for the initiative, these people who intensively suppress the "sex" "shoot" have been shot down.
"Attack" Following the hoarse shouts of the soldiers of the two armies, several black lines collided in front of the wall of Stalos, and the sound of the violent fighting resounded through the sky, and the bright red blood infested the earth with blood.
The spear of the siege infantry pierced into the enemy’s body and pulled out with blood, holding a thick and tall heavy shield, lined up in a neat array and pushed forward, like a shrinking triangle. The southern aristocratic army, which is constantly squeezing behind the city wall from three directions and fighting with spears,
Bumping the shield in the hand of the heavy infantry with "the arrowhead "shoots" it, and it bounces off with a crisp sound. Many soldiers in the back row were "shot" by the arrowhead falling from the top of their heads, and there was a screaming scream. I stooped down from the formation in pain
Seeing a thousand-man squadron in front slowly withdrawing from the front, a heavy infantry squadron captain squatting halfway on the ground covered with mud and blood, blocking the whole body with a huge shield in his hand, while pulling from the ground "With the heavy spear "stuck" on the ground, he shouted to the subordinates who stood up and squatted in the same posture
"The third team prepares! Whoever rushes to the wall first, I will promote him to captain"
"We must win, we must win!" The whole row of heavy infantry stood up and roared "violently", just as the words fell,
"Hoo" A piercing whistling sound passed over the head, almost covering the shouts of the soldiers, "pap" a round stone bomb, plunged into the queue behind like a shooting star, among several soldiers A **** road was crushed on his body,
The heavy infantry captain’s unmoved face did not show the slightest "wave", but with his bloodshot and cold eyes, staring at the city wall "shooting" from the front. It seems that the root did not realize that just now, there were already several lives, which were taken away in a tragic way,
This is the Northern Army that besieged the city of Stalos. The Salon Army has experienced many battles. Death has long been meaningless to these experienced veterans. They grab the glory and gain wealth, and they are newly ranked first in the Falcon dynasty. The position of the legion is what the Northern Army desires most
Since the Western World War, the Western Army came to the top and became the leader of the various corps. The Northern Army and the Western Army have been "handed". What's more, in this battle, the two sides have placed a bet of nearly one million. That's about ten thousand, bright gold coins. If it is evenly spread on every soldier, it will be nearly a year's income.
At the beginning of this gambling game, the entire Northern Army was already "inspired". After conquering the original target, it moved forward non-stop to the east.
The trombone representing the attack came from the direction of the formation, "Stand up! Attack!" The heavily armed infantry captain shouted, "Wow," the sound of a piece of metal armor rubbing, and countless spears were raised. The polished steel shield gleamed with a red "color" under the light of the fire, like a layer of "waves" shimmering on the surface of a river.
"One, two, three" came from under the siege truck with the tidy shouts of "excited" and "dangling". Amidst the creaking of the huge siege, the soldiers leaned forward slowly. The soldiers below Holding a shield, wriggling like a swarm of ants, making the defenders’ scalp numb,
In a burst of tidy steps, tens of thousands of heavily armed infantry lined up in square formations, following the slogan, following the tall giant-like siege tower, slowly pushing forward in the direction of the city wall,
""Shoot", never let them lean over!"
The scattered clusters of arrows on the head of the city come out from the slam "shoot" and "shoot" the tower, but this is useless for the Falcon army holding the siege shield, and more of it becomes a Falcon sniper crossbowman. Target. Archers keep falling from the arrow tower
200 meters below the city, "Load!" With a shout, beside dozens of temporarily assembled stone dumpers, the soldiers were busy loading crude oil projectiles into the "shooters" of the catapult. "Bounce frame,
More than a dozen slingers, shirtless and strong in shape, pulled the winch with both hands, making a chucking sound, following the captain’s arm.
"Huh, huh, huh" Hundreds of bottles of crude oil tossed "projectiles" like the sky "flowers", falling on the walls of the fortress. Only a violent rumbling sound was heard, and the wall that was already billowing with smoke was instantly enveloped by a wall of fire spreading visible to the naked eye. The flame of bright yellow "color" rushes more than ten meters high like a volcanic eruption,
In the southern aristocratic army camp, dozens of angry southern aristocrats are gathering in front of commander-in-chief Tazar’s room “door” to make a noise. The fighting has reached this level, but the commander-in-chief Just lock yourself in the room, no one sees,
"Marquis Lidi, the commander-in-chief has gone to the front line to supervise the battle, please come back first!" A guard knight stopped the hands of the nobles who wanted to open the big "door",
"Who are you lie to? I have been waiting outside since noon until now. Don’t go to supervise the war. I haven’t seen a mosquito named Tazar! If this coward is not in this room, I will The head was chopped down and hung on the big "door". The leader was a bald old nobleman. He gave the guard knight a vicious look.
This old nobleman is called Lidi, a border lord in the southern Sagos region. Because of being close to the border, he has participated in wars against the Nords many times. According to him, he is inlaid with blue "color". The knight's saber of Bo's Le Gems is the sabre of a Nordic commander.
His qualifications are old, even in the regular Southern Army, he is considered a veteran with grand reputation. At this moment, under his angry eyes, the guard knight feels like he has been pierced by a needle. A younger guard knight evades his eyes subconsciously
"Tazar, you coward, coward!"
Seizing the opportunity of the guarding knight's loss of mind, a young nobleman behind the old man unceremoniously pushed aside the guard in front of him, kicking open the big closed "door" in front of him, and all they could see was an empty bedroom
"Tazar ran away, Tazar ran away!" The nobles looked at everything in front of them in disbelief. Only then did they discover that the guard knights who had blocked them just now all ran away.
"Tap. The crisp sound of horseshoes sounded from the hillside.
"The battle report, the frontline battle report!" A soldier from the Falcon Dynasty rushed into the Falcon formation, riding a war horse, and dashed into the Falcon formation. Nearby, a Central Army's main battle flag regiment was passing through
The armor on the soldiers screamed in the dark night, and the heavy spears in their hands were shining coldly in the night. The silver moonlight shone at this man while shouting while standing out from the battle. In the queue, the messenger passing by,
His "excited" shouts caused the soldiers of the Central Army marching along the road to look sideways. A Vickia squadron leader who was urging forward turned around and shouted at the messenger passing by.
"Tusor! Why are you running so eagerly? Did you pick up something again?" The messenger strangled his horse and raised his hand report to him. The horse leaped forward with uncontrollable excitement. Voice, shouting indistinctly
"Big victory! Our army has a big victory! Lord Ensante’s second banner has been "forced" to descend to Fort Van Die. Lord Crolitsant’s army is advancing in the direction of Stalos and has captured countless captures along the way. Ah!"
"Damn! I was preempted by those guys in the West again"
Hearing the glorious results of the Western Army, the Central Army squadron commander flushed immediately. He turned around in an uncomfortable expression, waved to the soldiers on the road, and yelled at the red sky in the distance. Plus, others will take advantage of the cheap price. Our Central Army can't just drink soup and not eat "meat"! If Stalos is defeated, everyone has enough wine and "meat"!"
The fat man's war horse stopped on the high post in the rear, looking seriously at the battlefield in the distance, one after another group of fire lights, reflecting the red half of the sky, and also reflecting everyone's pupils bright and dark. In the bright and extinguished flames in the distance, the army formations that hit the city wall were like black spots, and the ear-splitting sound of fighting was faintly heard with the sound of the wind, "stimulating" a blood boil in people’s hearts,
On the vast plain behind him, in addition to the two heavy infantry flag regiments that are driving towards Stalos, there are also 3,000 cavalry guards advancing in the direction of the flames in the distance,
The last 13,000 fully armed Central Army "elite" will serve as the last straw to crush the Southern Noble Army and support the north of Salon, which is attacking Stalos, 3 miles away. Army, Stalos deserves to be the last line of defense of the southern aristocratic army camp Sassgeburg. Among the 80,000 aristocratic troops, the most "elite" 16,000 aristocratic troops are stationed here. It is the leader of the aristocratic army, Taza. The most dependent army,
Although the advancement of the Saron Legion is not slow, but because it is a heavy infantry corps in the main battle, Stalos is also the longest and most solid fortress among the six cities.
That’s why the fat man received the report that the Saron Army broke through the outer defenses of Stalos and attacked the core city of Stalos until the dusk of the afternoon.
"Your Majesty! The enemy has too many arrow towers! Siege walls"
The guard took the battle report that he had just sent, and hurried over. The fat man turned around and waved his hand to the guard, "No, tell Salon, I will give him another 13,000, no matter what For the price, tomorrow morning when the sun rises, I will see the Falcon flag flying over the city of Stalos, otherwise, he won’t come to see me!"
"Yes! Your Majesty" the guard nodded and left,
Central General Hu Keqili came up from behind with a look of suspicion and confusion, "Your Majesty, our army has been so eager to go down five fortresses, why there is no reaction from Paravin Kyoto at all,
If the initial attack was considered a surprise attack, now it has been a day of fierce battle. Even if it is kept secret, Paravin should know it, but there is no news to indicate that,
Paravin has plans to rescue the South. Could it be that they just fall into the fall of the six cities that they rely on as a barrier? "
"Hehe, if you want to get something, there must be sacrifice! The second prince of Paravin has always been very decisive about this." For Hu Keqili’s doubts, the corner of the fat man’s mouth " Lu" gave a sneer and shook his head slightly
"Everyone is smart, what are you fighting against Dorok? Who are you deceiving? We have assembled so many troops in Amela. If we can deceive the southern aristocratic army, I believe, we must be able to deceive. It’s impossible to pass Paravin’s eyes and ears in the Amila area,
As an army of more than 10,000 people gathers, the grain, grass and materials are all measured in tons. As long as you pay a little attention to the flow of material transportation, you can feel it easily.
Our army is equipped with siege troops. If it is aimed at the Doroks, it should only be necessary to send cavalry. So many infantry flag regiments are needed there! "
The fat man paused in his voice, staring at the direction of the fire in the distance, and continued, "However, Paravin and these are completely pretending to be deaf and dumb. On the one hand, he persuaded the crusaders to unanimously deal with the Doroks. On the one hand, they also generously agreed to our request for borrowing. During this time, they and us are acting,
Don’t remind me that even a bit of news has not been revealed to the Southern Noble Army. What is it? Paravin has already planned to sacrifice the Southern Aristocratic Army! It's not just us who can kill someone with a knife! "
"No way, this is not a way to deny yourself, what is the difference between cutting off your arms?"
Hu Keqi opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "Didn’t Paravin always support each other with the Southern Noble Army? If the Southern Army collapses, Paravin can only confront the positive ones alone. Crusaders, in such a situation, is the cunning second prince missing?"
"No, it's so clear, that's why I did it like this! The second prince has always been very decisive in this regard." The fat man held his riding whip in his hands, his face sighed with a deep sigh
"The southern aristocratic army is a mess. From beginning to end, Paravin has never afforded the southern aristocrats, and some have only used it. Politics is far from a combination of interests. Once each other turns from a friend to a threat, it is " I want to put it to death and then quickly and resolutely,
The second prince tolerated the southern aristocratic army because of the urgent need for a strong back-up. Now that he has established his footing, the southern aristocratic ambitions are clearly revealed.
Moreover, the southern aristocracy has its own system. Outsider roots cannot enter the core and are completely out of his control. Instead of waiting until it continues to grow and finally become a threat to Palavin's Kyoto, it is better to use our hands to eliminate the troubles! "
It seems to confirm the fat man’s conjecture. An emergency meeting is being held in a courtyard with beautifully shaped white marble walls in Paravin.
"So...the six cities in the South are just finished like this?"
The second prince Harouskes, who was leaning on the seat, made a cold voice in the whole hall. He tapped the fingers of the armrests, and the sound of the tower came out in the quiet hall.
Across from him, the generals of the Paravin army, there was silence below, everyone did not dare to speak, no one knew what the second prince was planning. According to reason, the southern city is the rear of Paravin. If you don’t save it, you’ll fall into a situation where you’re suffering from the enemy, but there is an unlucky ghost in front of you because he asked, "Your Highness, when shall we go to the rescue?"
The Second Prince was directly beaten to the Ninth Banner Regiment. It was a well-known cannon fodder group. Most of them consisted of prisoners and thieves and thieves in Palavin Prison. They were placed on the battlefield. A platoon of pikemen who are blocking the cavalry is often attacked by one, and less than one-tenth of the people who can survive, so it is also called the death regiment,
"Isn't Tazar a very capable person? Why didn't you stick to it for a day? Your previous expectations seem to be a bit wrong." I felt that there was no answer below, and the second prince Haruosques snorted a little dissatisfied. One sentence,
"Solangtai, your previous plan seems to need to be changed. If the Falcon army has captured Six Cities, but has not gone to the south to fight against the Nords, wouldn't we really get the enemy!"
Harrosks looked around, and finally set his gaze on a mature man in the middle left.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this at all!" This mature man came out of the queue and replied respectfully. "Although the Vikiya attacked fiercely, they went down to six cities in one day. If there is no loss, it is not. Possibly, things like the army will inevitably be rested after the "fierce" war. The Nords in the South will never sit and watch such an opportunity slip away from their hands."
The voice of the middle-aged man stopped, raised his head and continued, "Only by defeating the Falcon can you truly master the Swadian South. The Nords are not fools. They know who is the real opponent.
Salton is a master in defense. He will definitely use this short rest time to lay out heavy troops and the six cities in the south before the Falcons complete their preparations for the south, forming a situation of north-south attack with us~ IndoMTL.com~ At that time, even if the Falcons have something to do with us, they will never dare to move! "
"Oh, so, can we continue our plan to kill the Falcon?" Hearing the analysis of the mature man, a smirk appeared on the serious face of Harouskes. The Southern Six Cities were aimed at the Falcon. A trap, he believes that both he and the Nords in the South have a tacit understanding of this point, that is, how can the Vickia Falcon know it well
"Of course, in fact, it's just the beginning!" The middle-aged man responded with a loud voice to the second prince, his appearance is really not handsome and stable. Although he is about 30 years old, he is bald, and his skin is not the white of aristocrats, but the light black "color" of ordinary people,
This is definitely different from ordinary people among the Swadian nobles. It is just a pair of slender eyes, which makes people feel that this is a very slippery person, and this appearance also leaves a deep impression on people. It makes people feel that "essence" is full of energy and vitality,
"As long as the Falcons occupy the Six Cities, the whole situation will change. The army is dispatched, and the rear is empty. From the moment he occupied the Six Cities in the South, the Viking Falcons are dancing with sharp swords. He can't afford to lose, nor can he lose this battle, so as long as we have enough patience and put on a dazed posture, we can be invincible! Maybe if we are there, it will turn the whole Swadian situation around. , To report the revenge of the three northern counties."
