Realm of Power

The fat man's horse stopped at the end of the mountain road, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. At the end of the mountain road in front of him, there was a scene like Shura Hell. Countless corpses were densely packed and stretched down the mountain road. The land on the mountain road was dyed red with human blood. In the white falling rain curtain, there is a frowning red color like a huge rag, and the white rainwater is on the horse's hooves. It flows down and turns into red water when it reaches the mountain road below. It washes down the muddy road and hits the bodies below like waves. It churns up like a spectacular red river. The mountain road is very quiet and no one makes a sound. Although they had experienced a brutal battlefield, most of the Guards Cavalry were shocked by the scene before them.

bloody battle! It was beaten into blood, and there were corpses all over the ground. It was almost impossible to find a complete one! What a battle this is! Seeing this, Fatty's heart tightened unexpectedly. He didn't expect that Berlindel's main battlefield would break out at the mountain pass.

"There must have been an accident, otherwise Varisien would not have chosen to set up a defensive formation at the mountain pass."

The fat man's hand on the riding whip tightened. Although he didn't see it, he guessed what it was. And judging from the pile of corpses in front of him, it was an extremely difficult and bloody mountain siege. A mountain siege, not a city siege. , indicating that Varisien was at a disadvantage in this battle, so he had to use the Y-shaped forked roads and the stacking of mountain roads to form a layered defense line that could weaken the enemy's energy. The attacker's impact should be very violent, because it was Hassenlan Wave's Sixth Army,

The targets were mainly concentrated on the left side of the fork in the road. The most shocking thing was the entrance to the mountain road below, where a pile of corpses nearly one meter tall stood up against them. It is enough to prove the brutality and madness of both sides in that battle.

The fat man's eyes fell on the left side of the mountain road. He saw that the entire left side of the mountain road was completely destroyed, because the ground on the left side of the mountain road was covered with incalculable large and small round pits, and each round pit was surrounded by scattered debris. Broken human body parts, soaked in the rain, swollen and white, bright white, the flag of the Sixth Army of Gaul was cut into rags and hung on the branches high on the mountain road. The flag was pattered by raindrops, and a severed hand held the flag tightly, seemingly unwilling to do so. The owner of the hand was undoubtedly a pile of broken limbs and flesh below.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle flag of the Sixth Army of Gaul! Judging from the armor on the corpses, they all belong to the Gallic Army. Our corpses should have been moved away!" The captain of the Guards Squadron who was sent to investigate had a look on his face. Joyfully bringing back good news from the mountain road,

The seriousness on the fat man's face finally loosened a little. The rain could not dilute the smell of blood, but it made the situation clearer. The war horse under his crotch shook his head slightly. The wings of his nose were flaring. In Fatty's view, only Varisian's grenadiers could create such power in such a narrow mountain road. Such intensive use of explosive bombs, it seems. Varisien is more likely to win in the end! Did Hasen Rimbaud withdraw, or did he stick to Berlindel? The fat man put aside the confusion in his heart, raised his hands in high spirits, and moved forward! Target, Berlindel,

Fifteen thousand black cavalrymen carefully crossed the nearly destroyed mountain road and headed towards the plain below. The horses' hooves stepped into the muddy ground soaked red with blood. The red soil turned outwards, making a creepy squeak. The sound of the sound, half an hour later, the black cavalry group appeared like a huge black line on the edge of the high ground,

Fatty could already see the Falcon Army flag flying on Berlindel's city wall!

"It's the cavalry of the Falcon Empire!"

The more than 10,000 defeated Gaulish troops gathered under Berlindel City, with a horrified expression as if they had seen the God of Death. The Falcon Empire cavalry was the most terrifying nightmare for the Gallic infantry. Under the sword, Gaulish heads flew everywhere. , I didn’t dare to fight in my heyday, let alone losing my helmet now. In the miserable state of taking off their armor, and thinking that their own heads were about to be split in half by a sharp sword, the defeated Gallic troops felt something colder than rain, and a shiver ran through their bones. The defeated Gallic army had long since lost the willpower to continue fighting.

To run away at this point is to seek death!

"I surrender! Don't kill me!" A Gallic soldier threw his weapon on the ground, raised his hands, and dropped his knees heavily to the mud on the ground. He lowered his head and shouted forward in a shrill voice. This was a rumor from outside. Yes, if you want to surrender to the Falcon Army, you must adopt a posture,

Kneeling down means surrender, raising hands means giving up any resistance. Soon, more and more soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground like him with their hands raised high, not even daring to raise their eyes. Their will had collapsed and they became The army was defeated, and after running for several hours, I finally found that I was abandoned. This feeling was simply despair and despair, which was even lower than despair! Everyone here is ashes. Even if a fire is dropped, it will not be able to burn again. Looking at the blackness rushing in like a wave, it is rare that no one escapes.

This is a plain area, and no one can escape the pursuit of the cavalry. Moreover, the Battle of Rusty has ended with the victory of the Falcon Empire. The Rusty area has completely become an area controlled by the empire. To a certain extent, as long as they are still controlled by Blocked in Berlindel, they are the fate of prisoners

Soon, the Falcon Empire will use this as its center and raise its butcher knife to the vast land in the hinterland of Gaul. Everyone knows that if the defeated army cannot be dealt with well and flows into the mountains and woods, it will be a bandit that affects the stability of the rear. Of course, the Falcon Army It is impossible to let such a situation arise. In the face of potential crises, the Falcon Army has never had a record of being soft-hearted.

The galloping horses passed by like a hurricane, and the horse's hooves kicked up mud and splashed on them. The black cavalry completely ignored the soldiers who had expressed their surrender. The Gallic soldiers crossed their hands on their chests with numb expressions, and whispered something in their mouths. They His cowardice undoubtedly saved When they are dead and have already won, the Falcon Army will generally not take the extreme step of massacring prisoners. In the eyes of the Falcon Army, prisoners are a very valuable and cheap labor force that can be used to build roads, bridges, and mines. The Gauls had no fear of being captured by an army of falcons;

The fat man didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He looked at the large group of Gauls kneeling in the rain and raised his hand slightly. The Guards cavalry behind them suddenly separated from the middle to the sides and divided into four queues. Like a huge spread out grid, tens of thousands of defeated troops will form riots if not handled properly!

"Who is the commander of the troops!"

A Guards Cavalry squadron leader rode out. In the white rain curtain, the cold light of the unsheathed sword brought out a burst of white light! The sharp sound was like an elegy that sounded over the Gallic Empire. There was silence all around. Tens of thousands of prisoners lowered their heads. No one dared to look at the black cavalry.

The fat man's horse's hooves were kneeling in the muddy water. He stopped in front of the Gallic general with his eyes closed and his head lowered, waiting for his fate to be judged.

This middle-aged general from Gaul had a serious appearance and looked a bit like a general, but his face and body were covered with mud and water, and his armor was broken. The edges were a little scorched, looking embarrassed and funny. Although the armor was broken, the emblem on it was still clearly visible, representing a prominent family in Kyoto, Gaul. He looked at the horse's hooves that appeared in his sight. The Gallic general's face turned very pale, like the white moon in the night sky, and his body was shivering uncontrollably, or he felt that this state was really embarrassing, so he tried his best to endure it.

"You participated in that battle on the mountain road!" The fat man looked coldly at the cracks in his armor and the scratched wounds on his body caused by the explosive shrapnel.

"Yes!" The Gallic general's face turned pale and he nodded with difficulty. He was stunned to death by the explosion of explosive bombs during that battle. When he woke up, he was surrounded by corpses. Hassen Rimbaud's army disappeared without a trace. He subconsciously came to Berlindel, and ended up with The other defeated armies were also blocked in front of this fortress city. The Gallic general unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at the fat man on the horse. His body shook slightly and his eyes bulged. Although he tried hard to hide it, his look undoubtedly showed that the Gallic general knew very well that the fat man questioning him was who!

"Your name! Position!" The fat man raised his chin

"Kingto Army Tielan!" The middle-aged general said a name intermittently with a trembling voice. He lowered his head and never dared to look at the fat man again. It seemed that he was extremely afraid. In the Gallic army, this man His name has become a taboo existence, and he did not expect to actually see this terrible person!

"Tielan! Kyoto Army!"

The fat man's eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His eyes were full of interest, and he looked at the Gallic general kneeling in front of the horse. Isn't this one of the leaders of the Kyoto army who had no deal with Hassen Rimbaud? What a surprise! , I regretted that one of the biggest fish slipped away when closing the net, but I didn’t expect to catch another big fish unexpectedly! Kyoto Army Tielan may not be a great figure in the Gallic military circles, but in the Gallic Kyoto Army, he is definitely a first-class influential person. Such a guy is of little value to be kept as a prisoner. There is none! We must find a way to put it back again. This restless big fish cannot be missing in the muddy waters of Kyoto, Gaul!

On April 18, the Battle of Rusty, which lasted for one month and 19 days, ended with the Falcon Army completely cutting off the connection between Gaul and the Rusty region. The famous Gallic general Hassan Rimbaud's decisive evacuation at the last moment made the Fat Man After single-handedly annihilating the 500,000-strong Gallic army and cutting off the backbone of the empire, I also felt a little regretful. Hassen Rimbaud's troops suffered heavy losses and still withdrew with more than 50,000 remaining troops. The Fipley area, which is close to the Rusty area, almost couldn't wait. On April 20, Fatty held a military meeting in Berlindel. After a brief reorganization, the Falcon Empire's Central Army and Northwest Army, with the power of horns, Entering the Gaul Duckett Province, another fork in the Rusty region, on April 27, the Northwest Army defeated the local garrison and occupied Tanis, the capital of Duckett Province.

In May, the northern Slavs, who felt they were threatened, began to speed up their incursions into the Tuborg region in the hinterland of Gaul. On May 10, the Slavs swore an army of 100,000 people from Asobika in the north to go south and divided it into Slavic territories. The Second Army and the Fourth Army marched towards Gaul and Kyoto in a mighty manner.

Because the Kyoto army was almost completely depleted, in order to resist the Falcon Army's massive attack on the hinterland, the strength of the garrison regiments in various places had also been emptied. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Slavs coming south in an aggressive manner, they had not officially left Gaul for decades. The main force of the Imperial Guard in Kyoto was 50,000, becoming the main force against the Slavic army.

The combat power of the Praetorian Guard is indeed the highest among all the Gallic armies. It has a force of five thousand cavalry, led by Yarde, the newly promoted commander of the Praetorian Guard, and cooperates with some temporarily formed local regiments to use force with force. The spirit of founding the country was fully displayed in them. Loyalty to the motherland and hatred for the enemies who invaded the land. The tragic and touching spirit of the Imperial Guards, which made the army seem to have increased its strength several times.

The Slavs went all the way south, killing, burning and looting. The capitals of two provinces were burned in succession, more than ten cities were plundered, and more than 300,000 Gauls were massacred. At this moment. All the Gauls suddenly realized one thing. Compared with just opening the door to the hinterland, they still need to conquer five or six core provinces before they can approach the Falcon Empire of Kyoto. The Slavs in the north pose a greater threat to the empire of Kyoto. , because of their present distance from the capital of Gaul. There is only one province, Ancra! The Slavs' goal is also very clear, that is the imperial capital! 

"The territory of our motherland is vast, but we have no way to retreat! Our home is behind us!"

In the Ancra area, facing the Slavs who burned their homes and massacred their relatives, the volunteer army composed of Gallic civilians regarded death as if they were home. Going forward one after another and refusing to give in, they seriously delayed the Slavs' southward movement. Ankra was known as a resort for self-cultivation due to its dense lakes. At this time, it has become a rock-solid threshold composed of countless waterways. The Slavs came from the cold northern wilderness and had a natural fear of swampy areas.

The battle raged day and night in Ankra, with fierce fighting and continuous fighting. The entire area was filled with death, pain, hatred, despair and hope. The battlefield was littered with corpses. Thousands of people died, including warriors who defended their homeland. Greedy foreign invaders. 

May belongs to the Slavs!

The Slavs' 100,000 troops heading south finally captured a fighter plane in Ankra Province. They broke through the defense line outside the capital and cut off the capital city Amdango, known as the gateway to Kyoto, from the outside world for the first time.

Due to the forced urging of the Gallic Emperor, the famous Gallic general Yarde, who led the Praetorian Guard and maintained guerrilla tactics, had to engage in a head-on battle with the Slavs who had superior strength in order to break the siege of Amdango. The entire army faced them, with the main force being 20,000 tall Han soldiers from the north. Ground soldiers, equipped by the Gallic military industry, are about two meters tall and weight, and the weapons in their hands are heavy maces or hammers. If they wear heavy armor, they dare to face the impact of a group of cavalry. In World War I, 40,000 light infantry and 20,000 Slavic archers and cavalry

As for Gaul, because the Kyoto nobles were worried that Kyoto would have no troops to defend, in mid-May, 15,000 Gallic Guards were temporarily transferred back to Kyoto. In addition to the losses from continuous battles, the Gallic Guards There were only 21,000 Janissaries who led the Arde to participate in the battle, and 14,000 local guards of Duke Sid, for a total force of 35,000. Facing as many as 80,000 Slavic northern warriors, this A fierce battle raged throughout the day,

Corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and too many enemies and companions died in front of them. In the end, the Slavs should suffer huge casualties and the battle line collapsed.

The remaining 6,780 Gallic Guards still couldn't believe that they had finally survived in this hell of fighting. After being stunned for a long time, the cheers slowly sounded, feebly, mixed with wounded soldiers. The words "shen yin" echoed on the land that had been stained red with blood.

Pressing the report on the Battle of Ankra in his hand on the table, the fat man stood up from the desk with a relaxed expression, straightened his collar in the mirror,

After occupying the Gallic province of Ducat, he did not immediately adopt a strategy of going deeper. Instead, he expanded to both sides and tried his best to open the gap wider. The hinterland of Gaul had a large population, rich territory, and dense cities. , even if you want to swallow a behemoth like the Falcon Empire, it will take at least two to three months.

Fatty is not a passer-by like the Slavs who just want to leave in a few years. Fatty wants to see the real land and population of the Gallic Empire, not the dilapidated ruins. Although he has continuously occupied most of the two provinces, he will More than three million people were included in their own ruling areas, and the 200,000 Falcon Army marched into Gaul. However, the team had to stop temporarily. The main force that had been fighting fiercely for several months needed to rest and recuperate. The cavalry from the east and west courts of the grassland had to return to the grassland. Now that the door to the hinterland had been opened, he had taken the initiative in the war. How to fight high In Lu hinterland, whenever you want to fight, it all depends on your own thoughts.

The fatigue of the troops is a very dangerous signal. Many of the veterans are not from Obaro. Their roots are in Ikadiva. They have been fighting abroad all year round. Their homesickness is getting deeper and deeper. One night when the fat man was patrolling, he met a The veteran cried softly. The child had just been born when he set off from the empire. Now three years have passed and he has not even seen the appearance of the child.

The fat man believed that the Slavs mobilized 100,000 troops south and put up a huge posture to point their swords at the capital of Gaul. It was obviously an idiotic decision made because they broke through the Rusty barrier and messed up the position. Although Gaul had been greatly weakened, , but hundreds of years of national strength cannot be consumed by just one Rusty. At this time, the Falcon Army is still five provinces away from the capital of Gaul. The fat man knows that in this era, he does not know that there is a A strategic term called "depth"

The Slavs bent on marching south to the capital of Gaul, completely giving up their initial strategy of comprehensive expansion. It was like an arrow shot into the water. The tip of the arrow was so big. The deeper it shot, the greater the resistance it encountered. Eventually, it would It was completely bounced to the surface by the buoyancy of the water. Sure enough, in the Battle of Anlac, the famous Gallic general Yarde first cut off the Slavs' support line for four days before launching a decisive battle with the Slavs.

Because they went too deep, the Slavic army was severely short of supplies, and was ambushed by Yard halfway through their retreat. The tall Northland warriors could not fight on an empty stomach.

Before the decisive battle, the Slavs killed 17,000 horses as military rations, which caused the Slavs to completely lose their mobility.

It was very difficult for the heavy infantry to move in the mud.

Taking advantage of this, Yarde first used the Royal Guards cavalry to sweep the Slavic light troops who had lost their horses, and then used the heavy cavalry to forcibly attack the flanks of the Slavic heavy infantry, and finally killed more than 60,000 Slavs in the Anlak mud.
