Realm of Power

"Come here, get an arrow." Out of caution, Hu Keqili asked the guard behind him to fetch an arrow. Holding the white tail feathers of the arrow cluster in his hand, Hu Keqili turned his hands back and forth very carefully. The arrow cluster was pulled hard,

It is very strong and has a certain degree of bending. Because the main attack power of the Falcon Army is on long-range, Fatty has very strict requirements for the manufacture of arrow clusters. Just like the arrow clusters in front of him, there is also a tiny thread in the middle of the arrow shaft. The mark indicates the place where the arrow cluster was built, just like the arrow shaft in front of you has an inverted triangle mark, which is from the manufacturing plant in the three northern counties.

Also paying attention to him was Boral next to him. After taking a look at the arrow cluster in Hu Keqili's hand, he showed a hint of surprise and suddenly said with an epiphany, "I think I know Dorok People collect the answers to arrow clusters!”

"Oh, is there anything unusual?" Hu Keqili turned to look at him in confusion.

"Come here!" Bolar waved to the guard behind him. The guard came over. Bolar pulled out an arrow cluster from the opponent's quiver. "Look, sir, this is the standard arrow cluster of our Western Army!" "

"Hiss!" Hu Keqili looked at the arrow cluster in Bolar's hand, and suddenly took a breath of air. At this moment, he also knew the purpose of the Dorok people, and all the problems were solved. When the two arrow clusters Putting them together at the same time, the difference between the two is immediately obvious. They are both strong, but the arrow cluster in Bolar's hand is obviously heavy and heavy in workmanship. Compared with the light and strong assault crossbow arrow cluster in Hu Keqili's hand,

Not only is the length of the arrow shaft in Boral's hand longer, but the tail feathers and the triangular iron arrowhead in front have also significantly increased in weight. This is obviously specially made to enhance the penetrating power of mountain hunters against enemy heavy armor. As for the assault crossbow arrow cluster in Hu Keqili's hand, because the cavalry targets are rarely the enemy's heavy armored troops, the arrow cluster is short and sharp, and can exert good power at close range. However, if it exceeds 50 meters, its penetration The penetration will be greatly weakened

"The archers of our Western Army are all hunters from the southwestern mountains. So they are not used to using crossbows but use composite powerful hunting bows!" Bolavan explained to Hu Keqili, "Your Excellency, the Central Army uses The crossbow"

"So just by comparing the differences in arrow clusters, the opponent will quickly know the defensive arrangement on the river section. It seems that the Dorok people have also felt it. It is not just one unit defending this section of the river! For example, those temporary The weapons and arrow clusters they recruited from the Ruidian people were all hoarded in the pre-Ruidian period. Or maybe the other party wants to use this method to select specific targets to open a gap."

"What a cunning opponent! I think I know what they are looking for. They are looking for those Ruidian people." Hu Keqili said with a pale face. "On this defense line, the temporarily recruited Ruidian soldiers are undoubtedly The biggest weakness on the defense line is that these Ruidian soldiers fought bravely, but except for some veterans who have served in the army, most of them are ordinary Ruidian civilians.

"These people are just a bunch of rookies who know nothing about the cruelty of war. The reason why they resist desperately is because their relatives are behind this line of defense. Facing the situation where the whole family will die if the line of defense collapses, they are brave and fearless. They fought with the Doroks, but their lack of necessary experience and blind bravery also led to their greatest casualties."

"Hu Keqili's voice stopped, and he said in a daze, "Compared with the casualties of about 2,000 people in the regular army. After two days, the 8,000 Ruidian people initially recruited had less than 3,000 left during yesterday's count. I have ordered these remaining Ruidian people to be withdrawn from the front line and temporarily arranged in some less intense areas. The second line should be used as a reserve force. Otherwise, when the count is done after the war, I don’t know how I can face those Ruidian refugees who are waiting eagerly behind the defense line. Do you want me to tell them that everyone is dead? Don't wait any longer. . . . . Too many civilians have been drawn into this war, if there is even a glimmer of choice. I will not mobilize civilians to fight a war! "

"My lord's heart is still too soft!"

Boral sighed with emotion, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. No one understood the current crisis better than him now. After successive fierce battles, not only the Western Army tried its best. Even the two central army flag regiments that later rushed to the rescue were also pushed forward as reserves. Chapter 1112 The main force launched a key attack on the weak points of the defense line. In the face of the enemy's focus, Hu Keqili was not sure that he would be able to withstand it.

Until sunset and dusk, the Dorok people finally stopped testing and seemed to be tired. They retreated from the front line of the tidal flat on the opposite side of the river to the west bank. Seeing the sun slowly setting at the end of the river, the Dorok army slowly retreated. Falcon soldiers on the east coast breathed a sigh of relief

"Come here, arrange it, and strengthen the security tonight!" Hu Keqili was still a little worried, and patrolled along the river bank himself. The calm Dorok Camp opposite was reflected in the sunset, and the smoke and dust were hitting the spears. Like a forest, the huge camp stretches from the river tidal flats to the slopes on the west bank of the river. It is spread all over the mountains and plains, like a wall that makes people breathless.

This is war, either you die or I die,

Before the opponent falls, falling down yourself is a failure! Both the Falcon Army and the Doroks have tried their best beside this river, and all that is left is their tenacity and will to persevere.

night. The night was shadowless, and in the silent night, there was only the sound of water flowing on the river, and the sentries of the Falcon Army were patrolling along the river.

"The water in the river is a bit strong tonight!" A veteran in the patrol team said in confusion.

"It's a bit urgent. In the past, it was always a rushing sound. Why is there a little clanking sound tonight!" Another patrol soldier glanced at the river cautiously. The calm river was filled with white mist.

There was no moonlight today, because we were close to the river bank, and a thin layer of mist floated on the water. The two sides of the river couldn't see each other clearly, but the darker it got, the more nervous the guards were. The Falcon Army hung up a string of torches along the river to prevent the Doroks from sneaking up on them in the thick fog at night. , dots of red firelight reflected in the mist-shrouded river, like stars in the sky, making the soldiers miss the night lights of their hometown.

"Attention. Enemy attack!"

A shrill cry suddenly came from the sentry tower in front. At the moment when the patrols were stunned, it was like a black cloud suddenly drifting down from the upper reaches of the river. The huge warship appeared ferociously from the thick white fog. This sight scared the patrol soldiers on the shore to the point where they almost collapsed on the ground. Under the light of the torches on the river, only Dorok warships were seen one after another. One ship appeared, densely packed, and their figures covered the entire river!

The "Woo-Woo" siren, which represents an enemy attack, completely tore through the calmness of the river. Just like a stone thrown into the lake, the entire river beach was in chaos.

"Dorok! Boat!" All kinds of panicked shouts came one after another along the river bank. The Falcon Army's defenses were completely in disarray, and there were people running around everywhere. Everyone looked at the behemoth that appeared on the river with their mouths open.

Chapter 1112 Like clouds, the blood-red Dorok battle flag on the side of the ship was fluttering in the wind. At this moment, his heart almost stopped beating.

"You're careless!" Hu Keqili's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched, and he stood in the wind with a sad and angry expression.

He finally understood why the Dorok people had been standing still all day, just trying to arrange their own army and then calling it a day. It turned out that they were waiting for their fleet to arrive.

He smiled wryly and looked at the dark upper reaches of the river in the distance. Hu Keqili had already guessed where these warships came from. There was an inland river navigation from Palaven to Fort Kurma. Everyone knew this. fact,

Occupying Kurma and transporting large quantities of materials and troops to the Dorok Mountains via this inland river route is an important part of His Majesty Falcon's strategy for Dorok.

But no one expected that the Dorok people in the mountainous area would do the opposite and transfer warships from Kurma. Strictly speaking, the size of these Dorok battleships is not large. According to the standards of the Falcon Navy, , the size of these battleships is comparable to that of the Dragon Tooth Ship, but in such a narrow continental river, such battleships are enough to control the entire battlefield.

Hu Keqili could already imagine that as long as the Dorok people put up some wooden planks between the warships, they would be bridges across the river.

The number of Dorok battleships almost covers the nearly 2 kilometers of river bank. When such a huge attack surface is completely open in front of the strong front of the Dorok people, what can the weak defenders do to block it?

"Gather and prepare for battle!" The camp below was also in chaos. Knowing that the enemy was about to attack in a large scale, the soldiers hurriedly crawled out of the tents and hurriedly arranged their armor and weapons in preparation for fighting. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. .

"Huh... bang bang" a harsh whistling sound passed through the sky,

Everyone looked over at the same time and saw a big stone drawing an arc in the air and flying towards the river. It fell into the water with a loud bang and caused a huge splash.

The catapults deployed behind the position have spontaneously launched towards the enemy. In this situation, any instructions are redundant. Everyone knows that the critical moment of life and death has come. (You are welcome to come. Your support is my greatest motivation. . )( )
