Realm of Power

The fat man took a light carriage and rushed to the Valparai Fortress with Salon and one hundred and twenty riders. The sea scenery along the way was charming, and the cool spring breeze blew green from the earth. The fat man's eyebrows were a little twisted, but he did not let go of the scenery in front of him. Beautiful The scenery cannot conceal the depression of the trade route, and there are not many caravans along the way. , most of the caravans that can be seen occasionally are small in scale. Fatty remembers that the last time he read the report, it was recorded that more than 30 chambers of commerce have set up offices in the southwest. In terms of customs clearance records, the Valparai Corridor has the most One day there were 186 caravans and over 3,000 cargo carriages.

But in front of me, there were only a few caravans encountered along the way. Either they were carrying goods back, or they looked like eggplants beaten by frost, listless and without any sign of life. Counting the group they just passed, Fatty actually only saw 3 caravans.

This was somewhat beyond Fatty's expectation. Even if the trade route in the southwest was closed, there were still many smugglers on the border. They should not have declined like this. You know, the wool, goat horns and hand-woven burlap in the northwest, Very popular in Southwest China

The Southwest Army was not completely merciless to these common daily necessities, but increased taxes, leading to rampant smuggling on the border.

"It seems that the southwest blockade has a serious impact on northwest trade."

The fat man frowned slightly. The southwest is a shortcut to the hinterland of the Gallic Empire, so most of the goods shipped to the hinterland of Gaul will enter Gaul from here. The confidence of the other party should come from here. After passing a commercial building When he stood, the fat man saw that the goods inside were piled up like There are more than 200 freight carriages parked in Guangping in front of the cargo station town. Many businessmen are stranded here. The town developed around the cargo station is already overcrowded at this moment, and businessmen are waiting. The southwest side is open and closed, but no one knows when it will be passed. The high-quality updates created a rare crowd surge for a while. This situation was very troublesome. Once the southwestern blockade was not loosened, no one dared not guarantee that none of the businessmen here would go bankrupt and commit suicide, or would be unable to recover. This was an extremely cruel blow to merchants throughout the northwest coast.

Tightening the riding crop in his hand, the fat man turned away from a stall, where a middle-aged man was leaning there with a frown on his face. There were a lot of goods on the stall, but no one bought them. A little boy, only 2 years old, rolled back and forth among the goods, giggling, or maybe only children can laugh now.

Speeding through the town, amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves, the Guards Cavalry led the way. Suddenly he pointed forward and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Legirdo Mountains are ahead."

The fat man raised his head and saw that the vast land in front of him was suddenly blocked by a huge mountain range. The huge mountain gap is like a wide open black mouth. It is the Valparai Corridor, known as the natural danger. Ten thousand Central Army troops are stationed in the Valparai Corridor.

Received news from the scout that His Majesty Falcon is about to arrive. Two generals of the Falcon Central Army, fully armored, were already waiting at the entrance of the corridor, watching the cavalry coming from the opposite side billowing up smoke. The two generals of the Falcon Central Army quickly adjusted their collars. Now there is still a cavalry coming, and only His Majesty Falcon can come.

"Reposti and Jagelins meet Your Majesty!" The two Central Army generals quickly stood up and saluted the fat man who was coming towards them. Behind them, a welcoming array of 5,000 Central Army soldiers formed, and they all knelt down at the same time.

"Long live your Majesty the Falcon" resounded all over the place and resounded through the sky. The sharp spear was like Xiao Han rolling up the sky, bringing a killing sound that was not inferior to that of the long corridor behind him, like an endless black hole.

The chest of every soldier here is engraved with the white thorn flower belonging to the regiment directly under the fat man. Behind the general is the squadron leader, and then the soldiers, like a huge triangle. There is a red cloak behind each officer at the far left of the queue. Embroidered with a pair of silver military emblems with separate wings, because The Central Army was initially expanded based on the Falcon Guards. As the Central Army separated from the Guards Corps, in order to express the difference between the two, the military emblem of the Central Army officer's cloak was silver, while the double-winged cloak of the Guards Corps was It's gold. Of course, they all have a common name "Falcon Wings"

"Everyone get up"

The fat man stopped his horse, his expression majestic, his eyes flashing with sharp cold light. The shouts of five thousand soldiers made the blood in his body boil. The army is the weapon of the country, and Yagrinsi, Reposti The performance of the two men in the expedition battle was remarkable. Fatty has already transferred the two men to the Central Army, which can be regarded as compensation for the two warriors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A majestic response came from the mouths of five thousand soldiers, rumbling in the empty sky.

Everyone stood up neatly. A general of the Central Army stepped forward to hold the fat man's horse. The fat man got off the horse. Another general of the Central Army took the whip from the fat man's hand very skillfully. The five thousand soldiers in formation were like The split floodwater generally split to both sides, revealing a five-meter-wide path into the corridor.

The army is like a cloud, and the man is so angry that the fat man grins slightly, isn't the Murphy family going to hunt? I don’t know if it’s a prey or a hunter! No matter what kind of medicine the Murphy family sells in the gourd, it would be fine if they let go of the southwest. If they use this to blackmail themselves, they don't mind sending their troops to the southwest to crush the Gallic Empire's barrier in the west from behind.

Although the southwest is the place of the Four Wars, it is also a hub. Occupying the southwest is equivalent to opening a passage to the hinterland of Gaul! This temptation also existed for Fatty. He walked through the corridor, entered the Valparai Fortress, and walked up to the top of the fortress surrounded by people.

Fatty met the Murphy Dragon Armored Cavalry, which has become famous in the southwest recently. The flag of the Murphy family was flying about 500 meters in front of the city gate. There were more than a dozen tents and a circle of fence outside. It seemed like a real hunt. , but Fatty knew that the other party had been waiting for him. The so-called "hunting" was probably the two fortresses in front of him, known as the gateway to the southwest.

On the newly green land, a group of purple cavalry captains were flying past, like a purple line piercing the eyes. The neat and solemn cavalry said, "I underestimated Gaul before!" The fat man stared into the distance. The purple figure on the ground narrowed his eyes slightly.

Naturally, he could see from his eyes that the opponent was also a battle-hardened elite, with a burst of murderous intent. He had also heard about the Murphy Dragon Armor heavy cavalry that suddenly appeared in the southwest. High-quality updates are high-quality updates

Julius Fort, who had returned to Kyoto from the southwest, specifically talked about the "Murphy Dragon Armored Heavy Cavalry" when he left.

Although the name is heavy armored cavalry, it is very different from other heavy cavalry. It is not equipped with bulky full-body plate armor, but relatively light but extremely tough scale armor. The two layers of scales on the inside and outside are superimposed, which is enough to withstand most The sword's flat cutting weapon is not an ordinary cavalry lance, but a cavalry assault lance with an arc hook, which is specially used to destroy infantry defenses.

Logically speaking. Armor with this kind of scale structure cannot withstand the puncture of the spear, and this is the most dangerous feature of the Murphy Dragon Armor. The reason why the Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry is called "Dragon Armor" is that it is extremely famous. It was precisely by destroying the opponent's gun array that he shocked Gaul.

"Heavy cavalry that specializes in defeating spear formations!"

The fat man also took a deep breath at this title, his eyes flashed,

It's not that he doesn't believe Julius Fort's reminder, but he's not a fledgling who has never been on the battlefield. As the recognized undefeated God of War on the Ikadiva continent, he was the first person to defeat cavalry cluster tactics with infantry formations. During the battle with Yu Ruidian, the total number of heavy cavalry encountered before and after was close to 100,000.

Although Fatty is the victor, he has always had an attitude of awe for this top-level military unit that consumes extremely money and equipment. In the era of cold weapons. If the cavalry is a sharp spear that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield, then the heavy cavalry is the most crazy and terrifying spear tip of this force, in front of the heavy cavalry. Even if it can be effectively blocked, it will still be a bloody mess.

Only those who have truly experienced the battlefield will know the terrifying feeling of facing the impact of heavy cavalry. The earth trembles under your feet, and the 2-meter-high heavily armored beast is full of ferocity and is like a storm. It is absolutely terrifying. It can make people who have never seen that scene , a huge uncontrollable panic erupted from the heart, as if he was an ant about to fall into the torrent. That kind of helplessness is absolutely unimaginable without personal experience. When the spear formation meets the heavy cavalry, they are simply flesh and blood. The collision of body and steel,

At that moment, blood splattered and the spear broke

The entire row of gunners was either pierced by a shot or knocked away. No matter how brave the spearmen were, they dare not say that they were not frightened to the point of peeing in their pants when they faced a heavy cavalry group charge for the first time. It was just that they were too scared at the time. Chaos, no one will say anything about it afterwards.

"Believe me, although the Murphy Dragon Armor Army has always fought only in the east, I once witnessed the ferocity of its combat when I was young. At that time, 30,000 Murphy Dragon Armor troops faced off against the Central Asians who were proud of it. In the Heavy Dragon Gunner Corps, most of us thought that the Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry would be pierced by a five-meter-long heavy spear. The result was unexpected. Except for the initial pause, the Murphy Dragon Armor Heavy Cavalry was like torn apart. It swept over the Central and African people like a piece of paper. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would never believe it."

Julius Forbaugh looked extremely serious when he mentioned Murphy's Dragon Armor. He especially reminded the fat man who always likes to "take risks"

"People who encounter Murphy's Dragon Armor Cavalry for the first time often don't know this and are caught off guard by the sudden large-scale cavalry group charge. They think that the stable spear array can stop them, but who knows that they are broken through in an instant? The dragon-armored cavalry charged into the formation, and corpses lay everywhere.

Among the Zhongbia generals who died in battle because they despised the Murphy Dragon Armor heavy cavalry, several were famous generals who were good at defense! I am telling you this because I hope you will have a new consideration when facing Murphy Dragon Armor! If you can avoid fighting this opponent, it’s better not to fight! "

"Thirty thousand heavy armored cavalry are already very sharp beings. If they are no longer afraid of spears, wouldn't they be invincible on the battlefield?" The fat man curled his lips slightly. Although he expressed disbelief, he was actually a little concerned about the Murphy Dragon Armor in his heart. Julius Fort would not exaggerate the enemy to deceive himself.

It seems that in order to verify what Julius Ford said is true, in the Battle of Southwest, the first large-scale confrontation between Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry and Gang Fei, it was rare for 30,000 Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry to serve as the center of the battle. , and as a result, with an overwhelming momentum, he rushed into the most heavily defended array of the Congolese Army and was killed on the spot. The Gangfei people were stunned. The tens of thousands of Chinese troops were unable to stop their advance. There were countless casualties and the formation was in chaos. If the fierce generals in the Gangfei army had not fought to the death and defended the main body on both wings, even the emperor's flag of the Chinese army might have been destroyed. Murphy's dragon armored cavalry was caught under the horse's hooves, it would be extremely embarrassing!

The fat man who received the news analyzed that the Murphy family should have something special in their forging skills and cavalry, and they were wearing heavy scale armor. Specializing in breaking through the opponent's spear array, running like rolling thunder, and being unstoppable, the 30,000 dragon-armored cavalry indeed have the capital to attract their attention.

As the distance got closer, Fatty's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Murphy's dragon armored cavalry, and he took a deep breath of air-conditioning. "Hey, darling, let me tell you, how can there be cavalry who specialize in spear formations, but can use plate armor?" The combination with the scale armor is second to none, but the idea is unexpected!"

I saw a group of Murphy's Dragon Armor cavalry galloping past not far away. The horses were flying. The scale armor on the purple cavalry above was swinging up and down, revealing a polished smooth and round barrel plate armor, like a smooth The oval is set inside the scales, and it is densely covered with horizontal hooks, which should be used to hang the scales. Because it was not war time, this team of dragon armored cavalry was obviously not fully armed. If all the scale armor was covered outside, no one would know that it was inside the scale armor. It turned out to be a cylindrical main plate with a smooth curved surface.

But it was enough for a modern man like Fatty. It was covered with scales to resist slashing and smooth barrel plate armor on the inside. Every dragon-armored cavalry must undergo brutal and skillful training to ensure that they can utilize the swing and high-speed momentum of the horse at the moment of impact. Flexible use of circular plate armor to avoid the thrust of the opponent's spear. This kind of training is not difficult for real soldiers of this era. Just like Nord and Rendian, many Rendian knights and traditional martial arts have been trained since childhood. Unimaginable militarized training,

The Murphy family must be the same way. They use unexpected tactics to break through the opponent's defense, and then use highly concentrated heavy cavalry to advance to defeat the enemy. Because there is no way to form a block, the sweep of a large group of heavy cavalry will be like a beast wagging its tail. It is enough to make any infantry group heartbroken and terrified. Although it sounds like a fantasy, who can guarantee that this method will not have surprising magical effects! Moreover, in order to reduce the force-bearing area on the front of the circular plate armor, the wearers of these Murphy dragon armors are very well-proportioned. If a lazy guy like Fatty is killed, he will definitely not be able to fit in.

After finding out the secret of Murphy's dragon armor being impenetrable, all the worries in Fatty's heart were gone. Being too deified is the most frightening thing. With such a posture, the other party obviously came to negotiate with force. The tubular plate armor can avoid the piercing of the spear, but it can never block the close range piercing of the crossbow. Thinking of this, the fat man showed a sly smile on his lips.

The sky was clear and clear, and the wind stirred up the shallow green grass. A bald eagle, which is common in coastal areas, flew over from a high place.

On the third day of hunting, Murphy O'Brien received feedback from the opposite side,

The Vekia Falcon has arrived! And this barbarian king made no secret that he had seen through the meaning of "hunting". The letter stated that "in three days, 150 Murphy's Dragon Armor Cavalry will face off against 150 Guards Cavalry, Southwest versus Northwest. If Northwest wins, Southwest needs to let go of all Not a penny of taxes from the northwest can be levied on the pass. If the southwest wins, there is nothing to say. The two fortresses will return to their original owners! "

"What an idiot!"

After reading the letter, Mephilins snorted in dissatisfaction. Although he already looked up to the Falcon Guards Cavalry very highly, it was just a sign of recognition.

Combat and momentum are completely different things. So what if they are elites who have fought a hundred battles? Facing the Murphy dragon-armored heavy cavalry that cannot penetrate with spears or cut with swords, what can the opponent do? Moreover, the opponent is not a heavy cavalry, so he has a natural disadvantage against the Murphy Dragon Armor heavy cavalry.

You know, anywhere, heavy cavalry is at the pinnacle, the nemesis of all arms. In Murphy Lins' mind, only heavy cavalry is the real cavalry, and other light cavalry are just foils, but now a certain guy But he said extremely arrogantly that with the same number, light cavalry and heavy cavalry would duel.

"It's too joking. I don't know what the other party thinks. It's a bit too arrogant!"

The more mature Murphy O'Brien picked up the report and smiled nonchalantly. He was indeed here for the two southwest gates. It was not a very pleasant thing for the gates to be watched by others, so he blocked them. Southwest commerce is based on the intention of treating the other party with courtesy first and then attacking with force. , the withdrawal of Gangfei's troops has become a foregone conclusion. The Southwest Army is now in full swing, with strong troops and strong horses. There are also many voices clamoring for revenge in the army. If the Northwest Army does not know what to do, he will let Murphy Lins lead 30,000 dragon-armored heavy cavalry for the army. Pioneer, enter the northwest coast

But I didn't expect that the opponent would be more decisive. One round would determine the outcome. Each of them had 150 people. Even if they all died, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was just 150 vs. 150 on the other side! Such a provocative and arrogant tone made even Murphy O'Brien secretly shake his head.

The cavalry of the Northwest Coast is good, but the Vikia Falcon of the Northwest Coast is a bit unworthy of its name. His own Murphy Dragon Armor is a heavy cavalry. According to the previous combat power of one heavy cavalry equal to three light cavalry, the opponent's 150 are equal to the combat power of his own 50 Murphy Dragon Armor. Doesn't Vikia Falcon even know this common sense! Being an elite warrior does not mean that light cavalry can fight heavy cavalry. This is really a challenge that has never been heard of. Such an unmeasured provocation is simply taking the initiative to hit the stone with an egg! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
