Realm of Power

nbsp; "Kill!" With the hoarse shouts of the soldiers from both armies, several black lines collided together in front of the wall of Yaglen. The fierce siege battle entered a fierce stage from the beginning.

"Hold it, and kill those who retreat without permission." A Dorok squadron leader who was guarding the city wall shouted with bloodshot eyes. Not far from him, at the battlement entrance, Dorok spearmen formed a whole row. He stabbed downwards with the spear in his hand, tightly guarding the gap between the battlements, and strangled with the falcon infantry wearing black armor.

"Charge forward." When a captain of the Falcon Army saw that he could not attack for a long time, he personally led his troops to attack. After knocking over a Dorok spearman, he projected the spear in his hand as a weapon and pierced it directly. He caught a Dorok who wanted to pounce, and the other soldiers followed suit. For a moment, the spears were flying, and the Doroks were caught off guard. Hundreds of them fell down at once. Above the Falcon Army, a group of soldiers appeared. a huge gap

"Assault" The falcon soldiers pulled out the long hunting knives on their backs and engaged the Dorok people on the city wall in close combat. They slashed with unusual strength and force, driving the Dorok spearmen back steadily. The long knives clashed, and blood flowed. Flying around, people's limbs were disrupted from time to time or flew into the air, and blood spattered onto the faces of nearby people.

If it were the Doroks, they would retreat in fear, but the Falcon Army was just the opposite. They saw blood as if they saw a catalyst. Years of war and rich military exploits have already trained these soldiers to be incomparable. A warrior who fears death,

With ferocious expressions on their faces, they swung their knives like machines without stopping, then pulled out the long hunting knives from the opponent's body, and swung the knives again until there was no longer a standing enemy in front of them.

In such a brutal siege, all tactics and the like have lost their effectiveness. Now the competition is about who dares to fight. At this point, the combat power of the Falcon elite infantry is obviously better than the temporary troops formed by the Doroks. It was too strong. After the initial defense, the Falcon Army had mostly climbed over the wall held by the Doroks.

"Crack" The weapons of both sides were handed over to each other, making an unpleasant metallic squeaking sound, and then they were pulled out with blood. Most of the fallen were the war-hardened falcon infantry of the Dorok people, who had been tempered by all the bloody battles. They have long been at the top of the mainland's arms, and civilians like the Dorok Spearmen are only in the middle of the mainland's arms.

Many Dorok soldiers have never encountered such a terrifying enemy. They have seen wild beasts, but they have never seen anyone scarier than wild beasts.

These enemies with long hunting knives in their mouths are as agile as apes in the mountains. At this moment, they are like killing machines. As long as they see blood, their eyes will flash with a penetrating red light. That scene was so shocking that most Dorok people who had not participated in the war felt chills in their hearts.

Are these still human beings? The Dorok people were shocked and frightened. The opponent's infantry were like bloodthirsty monsters. They were not afraid of the arrow clusters shot from above their heads. They piled people on top of each other and launched a fierce attack on the city wall. ,

"Hold on, everyone will have a way to survive." The shout of Dorok Infantry Captain was now pale and feeble.

At this moment, the heavy infantry of the Falcon Army also approached the city gate in front. Countless arrow clusters fell on his head as he shouted, like a bright and dazzling light spot that grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into an unstoppable force. In the sea of ​​light, "puff puff" sharp arrows shot into the bodies of the city gate defenders from all directions. Hundreds of soldiers were all covered in this way, and their bodies seemed to have been hit hard.

The sharp arrows penetrated the Dorok people's bodies and nailed them deeply to the wall bricks at their feet. The bright red blood exploded like plum blossoms. The unconscious body was hit by the arrow in the torrent of light and shadow formed by the arrow clusters. , hit arrows, keep hitting arrows, countless arrow clusters flew past like sparrows flying over the fields with scarecrows.

"Oh my god, they are all dead, and we will die too." The Dorok infantry captain who had escaped could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. He held his head in his hands, and his whole body was curled up behind the battlements. The hellish scene of Shura made him close his eyes deeply in fear,

Compared with the fierce arrow attacks suffered by the city gate, under the arrow towers on both sides of the city gate, there was a tragic scene: mutilated corpses piled up layer after layer.

Blood soaked the bricks and stones under the feet. At first, a few low groans of pain could be faintly heard from the pile of corpses. Finally, all sounds disappeared. As the arrow clusters stopped, the city was as quiet as a ghost. Same

The crossbows of the Falcon Army were so powerful that after several consecutive volleys, the suppressed city gate defenders had difficulty even raising their heads. Soldiers were constantly hit by arrows that fell from the city wall and stuck in the spears of the Falcon Army gathered below the city. Above, bright red blood spattered onto the helmets of the Falcon Army below, making the Falcon Army soldiers' faces look ferocious.

"Killing" the falcon soldiers who attacked the city wall were like ants piled on top of each other. Countless towering spears gathered under the city to form an endless ocean.

"Go up, break open the city gate." Below the city gate, more than ten meters of heavy infantry formed a queue with shields, covering the chariot temporarily used to hit the city gate and slowly approached.

Because they were too bulky, the four temporary wooden wheels of these wooden carts were squeezed heavily and irregularly on the narrow city-protected suspension bridge, making an overwhelming creaking sound, which made people very worried about the suspension bridge. Will collapse under the weight

It took the chariot a full three minutes to cross the suspension bridge, which was only ten meters long, under the eager eyes of everyone.

"The overall situation has been decided." Crolisat in the distance finally breathed a sigh of relief. The previous fierce attack was to cover the wooden chariot. Although they had gained an advantage on the city wall, the Dorok people had already sent out a reserve army. , the overwhelming forward attack just now had to come to a halt, the two armies were anxious, and the only way to win was to attack the city gate.

The heavy chariot is about five meters long. The top is covered with a layer of fire-resistant leather, and in the middle hangs a chariot that can hit the city gate. Although the chariot is slow, it is a powerful weapon against ordinary fortresses. The strong iron head is enough to deal with the city's not-so-thick gate

"Come here, burn it with rockets immediately." Marquis Kuberos, the Dorok commander on the city wall, looked at the slowly crawling wooden cart with a livid face, stretched out his hand and shouted,

"Swish, swish, swish", countless rockets followed the sound of bowstrings vibrating, crossing hundreds of beautiful long arcs in the air, and landed densely near a siege truck. Because it was June, the weather was hot, The surrounding shrubs were immediately ignited, which also ignited the wooden cart that had no fire protection facilities at the bottom. The wooden cart that was slowly advancing quickly turned into a dazzling flame.

The Marquis of Cuberos is the commander of Yaglen. He is a brave general who is known to be good at fighting among the many generals of Dorok. Although he hastily accepted the battle, he still managed to keep the city wall intact. He has quite good commanding ability. In fact, he had already judged at the beginning of the battle that the real target of the Falcon Army should be the city gate, otherwise there would be no way to attack the city like this.

Although the strategy of pressing the entire army has the advantage of spreading everywhere, it also exposes the disadvantage of insufficient follow-up. Even if a gap is opened in a short time, there will not be enough troops to invest, so the opponent has only two intentions, one It is to test the weaknesses of the defense and find the weaknesses of the defense through large-scale attacks. The second is to cover up something.

It was discovered that a wooden cart had been burned, and soon five more were pushed out from the Falcon Army array. This time, even Cuberos's face didn't look good. With the five wooden carts, the Falcon Army was in a strong position this time. Must have it

The rocket fire just now has burned down the nearby bushes. Now the road in front of the five wooden carts can be described as a smooth plain. As long as we advance slowly, if nothing goes wrong, we can break through the city gate in just a matter of seconds.

"Come here, send out the death squads"

Marquis Cuberos was indeed a good general. Looking at the approaching chariot formation below, he immediately sent 50 people from the guards to serve as death squads.

Each of these suicide squad members held a torch in their hands and a rope around their waists. One end of the rope was tightened by several soldiers. After a while, the sound of wood hitting the city gate was heard from below. It's like hitting the hearts of the Dorok people. Everyone is a little nervous. You look at me, I look at you.

"Don't worry, there is nothing terrible about the wooden cart. These torches are full of grease. Just throw them up and they will burn." Cuberos put on a light mail armor and tried the rope wrapped around his waist with his hands. Tenacity, showing a confident attitude

"Sir, it's too dangerous for you to go in person. Now that the Falcon Army is storming the city gate, there must be heavy defenses next to the wooden chariot. It's not easy to break through in one fell swoop. If something goes wrong, it's..." The adjutant who had been with him for many years persuaded him with a pale face.

"How is this possible? There is no reason for letting soldiers go to die while I hide behind. Is that still a noble who takes glory as his life?" Cuberos waved his hand to stop the adjutant.

At this time, five wooden trucks had already crossed the suspension bridge.

"Okay, warriors, let's attack these Falcon Counties together." Cuberos yelled with a smile, picked up the torch next to him and jumped off the city wall first. Yaglen's city wall is not high, and it's not much more than that. About 5 meters, so the soldiers of the Falcon Army could climb up by stepping on others, but no one expected that someone would jump down from above. Seeing Cuberos personally going into battle, the 50 soldiers who were selected as the death squad also jumped Jump down with a torch

"Shoot, shoot, cover my lord"

The Dorok mountain hunters on the city wall were ready to risk their lives. They no longer cared about the arrow clusters falling in front of them. They boldly leaned out half of their bodies from the battlements and used the thin light infantry bows in their hands to attack the enemy approaching below, pouring down arrows from above. Rain, arrow clusters hit the heavy infantry's heavy concave shields below, making a crisp sound like heavy rain falling to the ground.

"Puff puff puff"

Even with shields and heavy armor, under the desperate resistance of the Dorok people, the Falcon soldiers pushing the chariot fell down one after another. However, more soldiers from behind came in, and flying arrows and falling rocks continued to fall from the sky.

"Go to hell!" Cuberos' landing point happened to be on the top of a wooden cart. The Falcon soldiers around him looked at him blankly. Is this guy crazy?

While everyone was stunned, Cuberos had skillfully uncovered a layer of fire-proof felt covering the roof of the car, threw the torch in his hand, and whoosh, the grease-covered torch quickly set the car on fire. , the interior of the wooden cart is entirely made of dry wooden boards, which make crackling sounds as the grease burns.

"Kill him." The Falcon soldiers around him only reacted at this moment, but Cuberos had already quickly pulled the rope to climb up, and it only took a few seconds to disappear behind the city wall. The other suicide squad members were not so Fortunately, in order to save weight, they only wore the most appropriate clothing. The light chainmail man had just thrown the torch onto the trolley when he was surrounded by the nearby heavy infantry of the Falcon Army. After a period of desperate resistance, of the fifty suicide squad members, less than five of them climbed up alive, but still Everyone was injured, and the bright red blood stained them all like bloody men.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry for my dead brother." Cuberos's face was cruel. He was an extremely good mountain hunter. He climbed mountains and wild fields as if he were on the ground. But these suicide squads were not. Many suicide squads were in In the process of climbing back, they were shot down by the sharpshooters of the Falcon Army. Looking at those who were about to reach the city wall one by one but were hit by arrows and fell down, everyone fell silent.

5 wooden trucks cost 50 lives. I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Looking at the five blazing fires in the city gate area, Crolisate, who saw this scene through the lookout mirror in the distance, twitched the corner of her mouth.

"This guy is quite interesting." Crolisate put down the observation glass and whispered, "It's just a pity. A moment of bravery cannot reverse the entire situation. Instead of spending time on these aspects, it is better to think about how to reduce casualties."

"Come here, send the reserve Fifth Flag Regiment up," Crolisat ordered loudly. The two sides were defeated several times and charged repeatedly. Finally, after investing two squadrons in a row, the Doroks could no longer withstand it.

"Run for your lives, we can't stand it anymore." Some Dorok people began to flee in fear. Behind them, more and more falcon soldiers in black armor climbed up the city wall, like a huge dark cloud that quickly covered the entire world. Shrouded inside, people on the city walls were hit by arrows and fell to the ground from time to time. The defenders laid their bodies on the ground and shed blood. The battlements were full of bloody fingerprints.

Arrows were flying in the air, soldiers were running up and down the city, shouts were coming one after another, and the sound of catapults and crossbows being fired was continuous, making people's eardrums hurt.

After all, the Doroks responded in a hurry. Under the fierce attack of the Falcon Army, which was twice their number, it was like mercury leaking from the ground.

The more than 20,000 Dorok parliamentary troops suffered heavy casualties. After a morning of fierce fighting, more than half of their troops were lost. Marquis Couberos, who was known to be good at fighting among the many generals in Dorok, could not hold it anymore.

He issued the order to retreat in the evening, hoping to escape through the darkening sky. Crolisate, who noticed his intentions from the movement of the defenders, would naturally not let go of such a fat piece of meat easily.

"Come here, inform the horse archers to prepare." Crolisate has been with Fatty for many years, and is no longer the reckless guy he was before. He secretly ordered the light cavalry on both wings to be transferred to other city gates to pay close attention to the Dorok people. Xiang, as expected, when night fell, the two armies had to cease fighting. Both sides were exhausted.

Late at night, the east gate of the city, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly opened from the inside out. First, there was a group of scouts exploring the way, and then Cuberos was surrounded by guards. Behind him, the remnants of the Dorok army were like a line. Running out like a long dragon

The light cavalry composed of "kill" horse archers swarmed up without hesitation, like hungry wolves attacking lions, and continued to launch arrow clusters at the huge number of enemies.

The fired rockets lit up the sky like meteors. The Dorok Parliamentary Army did not dare to entangle, so they could only use strong men to cut off their wrists and abandon all the slow-moving troops, including the only heavy infantry squadron in the city. These were bulky and The heavy infantry, which had lost its cover, quickly became the target of the Falcon Cavalry's attack.

The horses of the Falcon Cavalry rushed into the scattered queue of the heavy infantry. The sharp swords were raised high and slashed heavily. The bloody swords on the road flickered in the night. At the critical moment, the Doroks' The commander, Marquis Cuberos, personally led the general's guard to cut off the rear, and the two cavalry units were heavily intertwined.

Like muffled thunder, the cavalry killed several times in the panicked Dorok army. The fallen bodies were dragged ten miles along the retreat road. It was not until dawn the next day that they were found 20 miles away from Yag. Only a small fortress could stand still. There were less than 3,000 survivors of the more than 20,000 Rock Parliamentary Army, and the chance to recapture Yaglen City was completely lost.

“It’s not a very suspenseful victory.”

Crolisat put down the lookout in his hand with some hesitation. He knew that the Dorok people were finished, the city of Jaglen had fallen, and the retreat of the main force of the Dorok Parliamentary Army had been cut off by him in one fell swoop. It must have been just this news. , is enough to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of troops against the Dorok people. This is probably what His Majesty Falcon is waiting for. When the two armies attack, the Dorok army of 100,000 people will immediately fall apart.

"Sir, the siege troops have eliminated the enemy, please enter the city."

"I see, these guys are really eager to take credit." A cunning smile appeared at the corner of Crowlissart's mouth, he waved his hand and said to the messenger behind him, "Report the victory to the base camp. Our legion will pass through the dense forest to take it by surprise." The fierce attack, the soldiers fought bloody battles, and finally captured Yaglen within the scheduled time, waiting for His Majesty's order."

After saying this, Crolisate pulled the reins of the war horse and galloped towards the city of Yaglen, which was still smoking thickly at the foot of the mountain. The dozen or so cavalry guards beside her quickly followed closely, their horses' hooves flying, and they were flying in the air. The towering mountains of Luo Ke are filled with dust.
