Realm of Power

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the fat man in ferocious armor slowly raised his right hand, "Target 80 meters, volley!" The fat man's voice was as cold as a knife, full of energy, and his face under the black helmet was stern. The black pupils in the rumor were shining fiercely,

"brush"

Fifteen thousand prairie cavalry uniformly faced the sky, raising the powerful compound bows in their hands. With a sound of freezing, tens of thousands of bow strings with angular horns were loosened from the calloused fingers of the prairie cavalry.

Huh, the bowstring bounced back to its original position from the half moon, still sending out trembling afterimages unabated. Arrow clusters flew from the archer's hands and feet like meteors to the sky above his head, like a waterfall of light rising from the horizon, streaking in the sky. Passing through beautiful arcs, climbing upwards, covering the sky and the sun.

"Quick, shield wall!" There was a tense atmosphere in Bresse's army formation. Under the loud command of the officer, the soldiers raised their shields in panic and used huge tower shields to form strong steel walls. Everyone was Try your best to curl your body into the area that can be covered by the shield, like a huge turtle shell. The junction of the tower and shield filled with water chestnuts is the dividing line of this huge turtle shell. It fits perfectly without leaving any room.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the cluster of arrows above their heads to fall, "Swish, swish, swish!" A sound like a heavy rain falling to the ground unexpectedly came from the front, and everyone's breathing came to a pause at this moment.

When the sound stopped, the Brays people discovered with some surprise through their shields that the target of the opponent's dense arrow rain turned out to be the flat land thirty meters in front of the Brays army formation. The white tail clusters of countless arrow clusters were like an endless field with no end in sight. Hundreds of colored flowers fill the ground, trembling slightly in the wind. Although I know that the opponent's cavalry is good at long-distance. Cheng's archer cavalry and the generals of the Bress Army were still gasped by the sight in front of them. "What's going on? Is this a declaration of war?" The old and strong Duke of Bress, Jasguru, frowned. Frowning, and even feeling a little angry, the other party's behavior seemed to be contemptuous of the defensive formation that the Bresse people were proud of.

“Not so good”

The fat man looked at the confused Bresse people in the distance. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. According to his eyes, he could naturally see the weaknesses of this military formation. The opponent's defense was indeed good, but a military formation that gave up its counterattack and put all its strength on defense was very difficult for the Falcon Army. It was like child's play for me. After finding out the weakness of the opponent's formation, the fat man raised his hand again. A creaking sound from the wooden axle came from behind him,

"What is that!"

There was an uncontrollable commotion among the soldiers in Bresse's formation. They saw countless large instruments shining with cold metallic luster, being pushed up from behind in rows by the opponent. There were fifty large ballistas specially used for legionary battles. Lined up under the fat man's feet, bundles of huge metal arrow clusters were unloaded by crossbowmen from the horses of the prairie cavalry behind them.

"Use special arrows"

The fat man waved his hand to the crossbow driver behind him who was putting arrow clusters into the crossbow slot.

The arrow cluster made of fine steel was put into the shooting trough. A black barrel was tied to the front of the arrow cluster, and an ignition coil about one meter long coiled up from the tail of the arrow cluster. Finally, it is connected to the black wooden barrel, like a large rocket firework.

"Creak" The bowstring of the ballista was pulled open by the lever. The crossbow driver stood nearby holding a torch used to light the medicine letter. The fifty-door crossbow vehicle equipped with special arrow clusters looked down from a high position and stared at the densely crowded Bresse people below.

This is the trump card that Fatty has been hiding all this time. He hid fifty large ballistas in the high-speed maneuvers of the cavalry group. I am afraid no one would have thought that Fatty, the barbarian king of the northwest, constantly deploying cavalry in Ohacha to attack from all sides is nothing but chaos. The opponent's blinding method attacks the weakness of the alliance, forcing it to become internally scattered, fight on its own, lose trust in each other, and then use negotiations to contain several powerful powers.

In this way, the real target of this central battle, the Principality of Bresse, can be easily concealed.

The strength of the Principality of Braise ranks first among the second-tier countries in the northwest. In terms of military strength, it is second only to Denia, Southend and the former Principality of Normandy. From a geographical perspective, it tightly guards the route from Nista to the south. road,

In terms of military strategy, the Principality of Bresse is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Nista region. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the Principality of Bresse will be the bridgehead for the enemy to launch a war against the Normandy region. And if the fat man wants to use the Nista region as his A springboard to form a military suppressive force on the entire coastal area, the biggest obstacle is also the Principality of Bresse with its sturdy folk customs and strong combat power.

Just like Brandenburg is the node of strategic initiative between the north and the south, the node connecting the north and south on the northwest coast is the Principality of Bresse! By opening it, the Southern Army and the Central Army, which have already embarked from southern Salander and southern Nord, can go directly from Antoros, which is the central hub, to the northwest and central Austria without having to transit from Normandy. Acha, greatly shortening the time for the army to arrive, regroup, and set off again, thus truly achieving full control of the entire northwest coast.

"Target, the enemy in front!" Fatty said coldly, "Launch continuously!"

Fifty crossbow vehicles equipped with special arrow clusters made an ear-splitting roar at the same time. Dozens of steel arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the Bresse army formation with strong momentum. Dozens of crossbow arrows It hit the hard turtle shell hard without any suspense,

"Bang!" The steel tower shield shattered into pieces on the spot, and iron pieces flew everywhere. The soldiers behind let out a heavy groan, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, just like knocking a huge hole in the turtle shell of the Brays.

"Rumble" The fire mixed with black smoke rose up, and the huge fire exploded from the outside of Bresse's army formation like countless light masks. The rising heat wave rolled into the surrounding soldiers like a whirlpool. In the air waves, there was a whooshing sound as it rippled in all directions. Broken limbs and flesh and blood mixed with fire and exploded into the sky. They were scattered in the air like raindrops on the heads of the Brays people who were already in chaos below.

Boom, boom, boom... The waves of smoke enveloped most of the military formation, turning it into a world filled with smoke. In the diffuse smoke, the fire caused by the explosion was so bright in the semi-dark red dusk,

In the smoke of gunpowder, the dense queue of Bresse people was pushed down in rows, just like thatch that had been hit by a hurricane. It seemed that they stepped on a huge vent at the same time, and countless objects flew up and flew high into the air. in the sky,

Then it fell in an irregular curve in front of everyone's gaze, blasting into pieces the remains of the soldiers' corpses, the twisted and deformed shields, broken spears, and countless pieces of dust and gravel that were blown up. It is the huge tower shield used by the Brays infantry as a symbol of courage. It is like a leaf flying in the air waves of the explosion. It makes various turning postures in mid-air and smashes into the moist and soft soil. middle.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this!"

The Brays people were completely frightened. The first round of shooting from the opponent destroyed most of the outer perimeter of the Brays army formation known as the iron wall. At least a thousand of the bravest soldiers were injured or died in the inexplicable explosion. , the outer perimeter of the Bresse people's military formation has begun to commotion. The soldiers turned pale with fright. In a series of hellish explosions, the steel tower shield was completely defenseless.

"You bastard!" Jasguru, Duke of Bresse, looked at him with bloodshot eyes. He tried to rush out alone several times, but was blocked by his subordinates.

This is not a battle, this is a massacre. Even the toughest Bresse warriors were driven to the edge of nervous breakdown by the horror in their eyes. They found that the other party could completely ignore the existence of the shield.

In order to completely annihilate the Bresse force, Fatty spared no expense. He had sent the navy to secretly transport a thousand special arrows to Normandy a month ago. This battle was actually a God-given opportunity to test this new weapon. Only actual combat can Know the advantages and disadvantages of a weapon,

For example, right now, Fatty is complaining about the consumption speed of special arrows.

This is not a simple product like crude oil bombs. It can be used with simple processing. It is cheap and does not hurt to use. Occasionally, it can be sold to other countries to make some extra money. Special arrows are a high-end product, from manufacturing to preservation. It requires extremely strict conditions for transportation and transportation. The biggest problem is the cost. In the eyes of the fat man, this kind of weapon is just a waste of money. It is still very difficult to promote it on a large scale to a battle.

"Crude oil bombs are better!" The fat man looked at the fire that exploded in the distance and smashed his mouth with some nostalgia. He completely ignored the crying fathers and mothers of Brace's army who were being hit by special arrows. They were in a state of panic.

"If you don't want to die, just charge forward!"

The desperate Bres people finally gave up their silly defense. Because their commanders were killed in large numbers, the soldiers charged blindly towards the place where rows of terrifying arrows were constantly shooting out.

"Stop them!" The fat man looked indifferent. Besukaya, who was dressed as a maid next to him, turned pale. The cruelty of war frightened her. Sometimes, killing and being killed are both shocking and bloody.

"Original target, shoot!"

Countless prairie cavalrymen wearing leather-pointed hats have already drawn their bowstrings in response to the command. The dense clusters of white arrows formed just now are like a huge target, reminding the prairie cavalry clearly that

Anyone who enters this area will die! Countless arrow clusters followed the bowstrings and once again covered the sky, blocking out the color of the sky. They fell like a metal rain of death. The Brays infantry who had just stepped into the white area felt as if they had been punched by a big invisible hand from the front. , their bodies leaned back, countless sharp fang arrows pierced into their bodies from oblique angles, there was a wailing, human blood dyed the earth red,

In the face of the rapid fire of the prairie cavalry, the Brace soldiers who lost the protection of the military formation fell down in pieces, even if a hundred of them exchanged one life for the other. Their fallen corpses piled up like mountains in the white area, many of them The corpses all stared angrily at the enemy a hundred meters away.

In their sad eyes, the other party was helping them roll one by one with a calm and comfortable expression. (To be continued...)
