Realm of Power

nbsp; "Don't worry, it's not just your army that will be tasked with attracting you this time, but also my Central Army." The fat man looked at Salon, who looked hesitant, and held his hand on the cold stone window sill.

He said in a condensed voice, "I know what you are worried about. I gave orders to other troops, but I did not give you an order to counterattack.

You are worried that I intend to let your legion play the role of holding back the main force of Dorok's army in this battle. This is a thankless chore. Watching the friendly forces advance triumphantly and effortlessly gain huge glory and military exploits,

However, I had to make a wedding dress with the helpers, and was trapped in the quagmire of cruel and fierce battles with the enemy's main force fighting against the trapped beasts. Anyone would feel unbalanced by this, but have you ever thought about why I didn't give you an order to attack? Order?"

"I'm worried that my military strength is limited. If I can't defeat these 110,000 Doroks, the newly occupied hinterland of Lod will fall into the hands of the Dorokes." Salon was a little timid under the piercing eyes of the fat man. The voice replied hesitantly.

"Nonsense." The fat man turned his head, looked at Salon's eyes flashing with sternness, and said decisively, "Although the Dorok army is twice as large as yours, I never think you will lose.

If you can't even defeat the 110,000-strong Dorok Army, then you are not the same Saron who used 30,000 troops to severely damage the main force of the 100,000-strong Northern Army on the northern border."

"Then why doesn't Your Majesty let me take the initiative? I can guarantee that in less than a week, I will be able to drive all those Dorok people who don't know the heights of the sky back to the mountains." When Salon mentioned the glorious things in the past, his face suddenly lit up with red. He stood up excitedly and said loudly

"You are said to be fat, and you are still out of breath." The fat man curled his lips slightly and said mercilessly, "The reason why I don't let you take the initiative is precisely because I am afraid that you will win."

"What does this mean? Salon's eyes were round and he stared blankly at His Majesty Falcon, his head full of messes.

"Why? Isn't it good to win?" Salon said intermittently. It was indeed as Fatty expected. Salon was worried that he would once again play the role of helping others make wedding dresses.

In terms of courage and courage, as well as the ability to capture fighter jets, the one-eyed dragon Salon can definitely be ranked among the top three among the Falcon Army commanders. Even the fat man relies on Hu Keqili, who is a sharp sword to overcome thorns, and Salon is enough to stand alone. Compared with the generals, they are slightly inferior. Their fighting style is fearless and they dare to take advantage of it as long as they have the opportunity.

"When a partial victory will put the entire attack plan into trouble, failure to win is a kind of victory." Fatty said with seriousness, raising his head and looking at the bright moon floating in the thin sand-like clouds in the sky.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing on the front line. What I gave you is to delay, and what is your layout? There are 4 main infantry flag regiments, except for one guarding the border city of Anweize. The positions of the other three flag regiments It's just that you're attacking from the front, that's why you're so anxious. Run over here, you are waiting for me to issue an order for a full-scale counterattack, so that the half-arc concave line formed by your four infantry main flag regiments on the front line will rebound violently in an instant, and the deep-seated The more than 30,000 Rock forward troops trapped in the middle of the arc were eaten even to the bones."

"Then that is just a temporary measure arranged by my subordinates to prevent the enemy from attacking from the flanks." Seeing that his plan was exposed by His Majesty Falcon, Salon, who had just pretended to be full of grievances, looked embarrassed.

After a while, he touched the corner of his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "It's not as exaggerated as His Majesty said. We have to pull out the opponent's 30,000 forwards in front of the opponent's 100,000 main force. For our limited military strength, , it’s still quite difficult.”

"For a brave guy like you, is there something called sleepiness?" The fat man curled his lips in disdain and scolded before continuing.

"I don't care if you want to win, but it must not be now. All armies are being mobilized. A full-scale war between us and the Dorok people will soon break out. The more this happens, the more we must show weakness. , have you ever thought about what will happen to the main force of Dorok at the back once you find that the forward is so easily eaten by you? "

"You should run away immediately, as far as you want," Salon touched his chin and hesitated for a while before saying. He didn't know what was going on in His Majesty Falcon's head.

"So you know that the enemy will escape." The fat man sneered noncommittally and said, "The Dorok people have never been a nation with a strong will to fight. They are used to coming and going freely. Even military discipline is extremely loose. Their Among the mainland's arms, special spearmen are at an average or above level at best. The only advantage is that they are easy to recruit and can be put on the battlefield with almost no training.

The ability of these lightly-armed spearmen to fight in plain areas is really not very good, but once the battle takes place in the rolling mountains, combined with the Doroks' famously flexible mountain hunters, they will quickly become a headache for any heavily armed troops. of enemies,

A melancholy look flashed in Fatty's eyes, and he said in a serious voice, "These light infantry who have retreated into the mountains can launch surprise attacks based on the familiar terrain, and can also move freely in the high mountains and ridges. They can attack our enemies from the dense forests at any time." Troops carry out harassment. At that time, even if you spend several times the effort, you can only look at these flexible and light-armed troops and sigh. "

"This" seemed to have thought of something. Salon's face suddenly turned a little pale. He finally knew why His Majesty Falcon wanted to defeat himself.

The Falcon Army has been reorganized and adapted after several wars. With the enhancement of military strength and the investment of more funds, heavy infantry has replaced the original light infantry and has become the main body of the current Falcon infantry.

Even the original Kujit light cavalry now uniformly wear spiked vests that combine protection and impact. The tactics are also very different from the previous rangers who relied on mobility as their combat style, and are closer to the charge of regular cavalry. Squeeze tactics do have inherent shortcomings in using such an almost fully-heavy force to enter mountainous areas to fight."

"My subordinate is too reckless." Salon stood up with a face full of shame and said goodbye to the fat man. "My subordinate, I will rush back to the front line. I will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations again. As long as I am on the front line, I will never let more people go." The Rock people fled back alone."

Rumble…

A burst of gloomy thunder swept across the sky, and a turbulence of silver lightning streaked across the sky, sounding like the bell of death, which was shocking.

The chief leader of the Dorok Parliamentary Army, Chief Speaker Duo Ze looked at the fragmented part of the city in front of him with a stern face. This is the flesh-and-blood strangulation line between the 40,000 Falcon Army and the 110,000 Dorok Army on the Anweize front line. ,

Duo Ze is not a leader who has never seen what is called a battlefield of flesh and blood, but he has to admit that the anxious and tragic battle situation in front of him can simply be described as flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Where his eyes focused, ten attack formations composed of 3,000 Dorok spearmen rolled towards the solid stone wall of Anweize City in a wave formation, like a towering forest of spears. , flashing with a frightening cold light,

Around that tower, it was already surrounded by Dorok soldiers. The densely packed heads and spears were like a group of ants climbing a huge tree.

The Dorok people have been blocked on this line of defense for seven days. They found a gap and advanced to the second line of Anweize City one day ago. This made the melancholy Dorok Parliamentary Army ecstatic. They thought that their The offensive had already exhausted the Falcon Army, and this unforgivable mistake occurred.

Because it is not the original border area, the city wall of Anweize City located on the second line has not been reinforced. Only some symbolic piles of earth and stone have been built. The fortresses that faced each other at the beginning were incomparable.

This is the best breakthrough point to break through the Falcon Army's blockage. In order to open a passage for more than 100,000 Rock troops to enter the hinterland of the Loder Basin before the Falcon Army's reinforcements arrive.

President Duozhao personally came to the front line to supervise the battle, and threw 30,000 of the most elite forwards in the direction of Anweize City without hesitation. In this short day, the entire Anweize City was completely transformed into a Hell on earth is filled with the rich and suffocating smell of blood. The originally weak city wall collapsed during the fierce battle, and the dry moat was completely filled with rubble from the collapsed city wall.

Because the Falcon Army stationed here responded in a hurry, they only temporarily built more than ten solid earth and stone platforms with a height of ten meters at the gate of the city. They were like strong street fortresses guarding the roads leading to the center of the city. , and then lined up the thirty Thors in stock on the three-story tower of the city hall in the center of the city,

Thick white smoke continued to spray out, and "dong dong dong" fire exploded in the corners of the city. The firelight emitted by Thor's jet continued to streak across the sky. Under this gloomy sky, it was like a beam of light that destroyed everything. Several Thor cannonballs were fired. With howling black shadows, it shot heavily into the ranks of the Doroks,

There was a loud bang, and countless sand and gravel exploded, or limbs with blood, many broken hands, feet, and broken internal organs flew everywhere with the exploding fire, scattered in every corner of the surrounding area.

Duozhi's somewhat sinister eyes tightened every time because of the firelight emitted from the city center, and his eyebrows had been twisted into a deep-cut "Sichuan"

The Dorok army responsible for attacking Anweize City this time is composed of the 5th, 9th, and 11th flag regiments of the Parliamentary Army. These are the few banners in the Dorok army that have heavy infantry. The regiment is the main battle force of the parliamentary army. A considerable number of soldiers are issued with shields for siege. Relying on their numerical advantage, they continue to attack the streets of Anweize.

But the falcon army stationed here is too tenacious. Every earth platform is a shooting fortress. This time, the more selective parliamentary army fully understood the helplessness of the Ruidian people against the falcon crossbow shooters. These have accurate long-range armor-piercing Deadly shooters have turned almost every street into a killing field filled with corpses.

They fought fiercely with the attacking Dorok soldiers for every street, every building, and even every window. The sound of crossbow arrows tearing through the air was like tearing up oilcloth. The burst of fire came over, and the Dorok soldiers fell one by one.

The most hateful thing is the senior crossbow shooters. They don't shoot when they see the target like other crossbow shooters. They are like the cunning foxes wandering on the battlefield who hide in the opposite place where it is almost difficult to find and shoot an arrow. There is always one of them. Officer Dorok, who was leading the charge, fell.

They are excellent and terrifying battlefield assassins. Their accurate bursts of fire almost make all Dorok's front-line combat commanders dare not expose themselves outside their shields. This is a heavy blow to the morale of Dorok soldiers, even if they are The Doroks, known as the sons of freedom, would not like a commander who hides behind a shield and shouts for everyone to charge with a deadly crossbow.

This fierce defensive battle lasted until the third day. During these three days, the hissing and tearing sound of crossbow arrows almost became the weapon that frightened the Dorok soldiers the most. The sound of artillery from the center of the city would occasionally sound. Dorok's 30,000-strong army was already showing signs of exhaustion. The Dorok soldiers, whose faces were covered with dust and mud, were leaning on the city gates or street ruins in clusters here and there. Their initial vigor had long since worn away. exhaust

The artillery shells of the Falcon Army ravaged the obstacles in front that could provide obstacles to the Doroks several times. They refused to stop until these protruding obstacle areas were completely turned into ruins. Now they still want to attack from the front. , a hundred meters away, will become the target of those dozen tall towers. Accurate and terrifying arrow clusters will come quickly, killing any target that appears in the sight of the Falcon Crossbow shooter.

The Dorok people felt like they had fallen into a huge maze. It was a spacious street, but they couldn't get through it. The corpses of soldiers stacked on the street almost blocked the entrance to the road. The blood had already been released in this hot summer. Stinky, the whole city is filled with a disgusting stench. This stench attracts a large number of mosquitoes, causing great suffering to the Dorok people who are accustomed to the northern climate.

In just 2 days and 2 nights, the Dorok people launched continuous attacks with almost no expense spared. In the shortest possible time, in this shaky city fortress that seemed likely to be conquered at any time, very powerful He happily left behind five thousand corpses and nearly twice as many wounded soldiers.

The two main flag regiments had lost more than half of their battles and had withdrawn from the urban street fighting in advance. A large number of wounded soldiers were crowded into the stuffy military camp tents.

The Dorok people do not have military doctors. Their treatment methods are simple but crude. If the wound is caused by a sharp weapon, many times the treating doctor will kill the pig and use a sharp ax to directly avoid the injured hand or The foot will then be heated directly with a red hot iron on the bloody incision. After a shocking squeaking sound, the blood on the wound will solidify in the high temperature. This can prevent the wound from worsening.

But if it is an arrow wound, it is simple. The healer will use scissors to cut off the exposed arrow tail. As for the arrow inside, there is nothing you can do, unless you can grit your teeth and pull out the entire arrow cluster in one go.

This extremely cruel treatment method often results in one-third of the injured soldiers dying of pain, and less than one-tenth of the remaining ones survive. The tetanus caused by the arrow clusters will take away most of the soldiers. The lives of some wounded soldiers,

The wails of the wounded soldiers came from the depths of the camp from time to time, like the screams of evil spirits in hell. The exhausted soldiers sitting on the ground, their bloody faces were numb, this was peace. This is the first time that the Dorok people have encountered such a difficult battle for hundreds of years. Many passionate young people with various hopes have withered like eggplants that have been frosted.

Everyone knows that war kills people, but they always think that it is others who die. When they see their lively companions suddenly turned into cold corpses, these Dorok young people who are full of thoughts of defeating the tyrant realize that War turns out to be such a terrible thing. It is far from the heroic and heroic heroic passion described by politicians.

The flag regiment that was still holding on was able to avoid the initial fierce counterattack because it entered the battle as a reserve force. It has now stopped attacking.

During this brief pause, Fitaso, the commander of the third flag of the Salon Legion, carefully inspected the defenses of several nearby streets. He walked with difficulty on the nearly ruined streets, staggering across the piles of rubble and corpses. pit,

On a high ground, he raised his telescope and looked at the Dorok people who were already silent in the distance. His forehead was rubbed by the stone when Thor fired it, and a thick piece of skin was peeled off, and the white skull inside was all It was clearly visible that after the treatment by the military doctor, blood was still oozing out. The blood flowed from his forehead down the bridge of his nose, often seeping into his eye sockets, making everything he saw seem to be hazy with a faint layer of blood. red

Outside the high wall in front of him, there was pitch-black scorched earth everywhere, with corpses scattered everywhere. All the streets were covered with corpses and broken bricks and rubble. Most of the buildings in the western part of the city were destroyed, and the entire The city looks a lot empty. Many houses that have not been completely destroyed are also burning, emitting thick black smoke.

Thick smoke enveloped the sky, and the entire sky was gray. Inside the charred ruins, there were moving figures from time to time. They were all experienced sniper crossbowmen. The arrow clusters just pulled out from the corpse were aimed at every advancing Dorok soldier. Whenever the Dorok people were baptized by the thunder god's artillery fire from the central tower, the sporadic shooting sounds that were covered up by the sound of the cannons also captured the attention of the soldiers. Taken many lives

The flag regiment he led was a formed unit with a full strength of 8,000 people. It originally had only six infantry squadrons, but after receiving the order to mobilize defenses, a squadron originally stationed outside Bremel also moved out. Arriving at Anweize, this is the only Thor squadron in the Saron Legion.

Seeing these heavy weapons being hoisted onto the towering towers in the center of the city by the soldiers on axles, Fitasuo suddenly had a realization. An Weize would soon have a tragic battle, otherwise he would always treat these treasures like lumps. How could the commander of the army put all of them in his own defense area? Sure enough, on the third day after he transferred to An Weize, Dorok's army suddenly came to the city.

The outer area of ​​Anweize's fortified city wall is not almost completely open. Because it is in disrepair, and a section of the wall about thirty meters long has collapsed, it is impossible to hold on by danger, facing the elite infantry flag regiment of three Dorok people. ,

Fitasuo very wisely chose the strategic deployment centered on the central tower, because it was a flag regiment that had just occupied Salon in Rode Kyoto. It was very generous to equip this flag regiment with as many as 4,000 people. Crossbowmen, and a squadron of crossbowmen from each of the other two flag regiments,

"Is there any problem with the Third Squadron?" Fitasuo quietly came to the west side of the central tower along the temporarily built defensive positions. This is the key attack area of ​​the Dorok people. At the most intense time, Dorok Nearly 2,000 people gathered to storm here. The positions they were holding were two four-story villa buildings facing the street. These two villa buildings were made of granite stones and were very strong. Both the Doroks and Fitaso knew very well that here It is the support point of the entire defense line (to be continued)
