Realm of Power

"Keep charging!"

Someone shouted, the flank attack made the Gangfei cavalry completely stunned by the situation in front of them. For a while, various command orders echoed in the wide and long attack line, and the voices from all directions made the cavalry charge in a scattered line. Gangfei's cavalry were at a loss as to what to do,

"There is an ambush, evacuate immediately!"

"Rush over and kill them all!"

There were also people shouting, and everywhere there was the pitiful neighing of the Gang Fei cavalry horses falling to the ground after being hit by arrows,

The cavalry were thrown from the overturned horses. The forward troops suffered heavy casualties before they even reached the bridge. Some of the Gangfei cavalry who rushed too fast and were cut off from their own troops suddenly found themselves in fear. It has crashed directly into the front line of battle,

Not far ahead, a spear array appeared like cold stars in the rain.

The opponent's dense formation appeared in a terrifying formation in the rain. The spears neatly raised at the front were like flowers forming a white mist. There was no time to think. These inhuman cavalry that were too far forward scattered and hit the infantry line of the Falcon Army formation like waves hitting the embankment. They slammed into the densely erected spears in front. Almost in an instant, the two armies were Red human blood squeezed and spattered from the front of the impact of the war horse, like a pouring rain in the sky. The sound of broken spears could be heard in pieces, and countless colleagues with shields that had been dented by the impact flew into the air. " Army, hold on!"

The resonant voice of the Falcon Army infantry captain echoed in the rain. The Falcon Army's spear array was washed by the heavy rain, showing an immovable momentum.

The cold and blood-red eyes of the soldiers were like a group of lone wolves emerging in the cold rain. They hid expertly behind their heavy shields, holding up a row of spear formations with sharp spears in their hands. Looking at the Gangfei cavalry who crashed into the formation, they showed not fear, but a ferocity that despised everything, showing a look of greed. Blood madness. Ignoring the rumble of the war horses and the shaking of the ground, the spear in his hand thrust forward ferociously, and countless spears brought a killing cold light.

Blood was flying in the heavy rain, and the war horses screamed fiercely. Rows of long spears were drawn out, bringing out large pieces of minced meat and blood from the target and making a tragic scream. The Gangfei cavalry fell off their horses one after another. The Falcon soldiers below used the spears in their hands to stab the fallen Gangfei cavalry.

"Ah!" The pitiful screams of the war dead came one after another for a while. The sound stopped

The huge military formation began to close up, and the thick and tall infantry heavy shields were arranged neatly in a military formation like a shrinking triangle, squeezing the dwindling number of enemies on the river beach from three directions. The corpses of Gang Fei cavalry Being pushed into the river, the mud splashed by the flood, and the military formation in the raindrops were like monsters devouring the prey that fell into the trap, mercilessly swallowing up the intruding Gangfei cavalry, "bastards!"

Resker looked at this scene with bloodshot eyes, and punched the saddle in anger. The attack failed. The opponent's elites were shocking, and the combat power of the Falcon Empire's infantry formation was as unbreakable as the rumors said. It is said that a complete falcon army formation is enough to fight twice the number of enemies, and it can even stand motionless under the siege of three times the enemy. Only four times the force can defeat it." He continued to endure the heavy cost of side attacks and continued to It is a very unwise behavior to invest troops into attacking the military formation."

Resker's gaze moved upward. They landed in a wooded area where dense arrow clusters were constantly being shot out. The number of enemies was not yet clear, but the enemy boldly placed a group of melee infantry at the mouth of the river. Then the melee force in the forest area appears to be very thin. The shortcoming of the distant arm is melee combat, and the opponent is less than 200 meters away from the cavalry attack group. For the cavalry, this is only ten seconds. This may be An opportunity to turn the tide of the war! Reske's eyes flashed sharply! "Order all troops to attack the woods on the left with all their strength!"

Reske decisively changed the combat target, but his temporary order was obviously a bit late for the Gangfei Cavalry, which had completely dispersed and charged like an avalanche. When the order representing the turn was notified to the front in the form of a bugle, the Gangfei Cavalry The troops had already paid a price of more than 5,000 people, and most of the casualties occurred on the flanks where they were ambushed. When they heard the trumpet sound coming from the formation, a member of the non-guards The squadron leader pulled hard on the crazy war horse, and everything he saw was tragic. In front of him, a whole row of war horses and corpses were piled up in an area of ​​less than 500 meters in length. The entire flank near the woods was beaten. There is a huge gap. If not turned in time, the entire cavalry attacking on the right wing may be destroyed on this death line and become part of these corpses filled with arrow clusters.

Similar to his situation, the scattered charge launched by tens of thousands of cavalry was like a rolling horizontal dragon. It could not be easily reversed with a single order, and the arrow clusters fired from the flanks were very fast. So that there was no time to defend. The Gangfei cavalrymen who were hit by arrows rolled to the ground one by one. The Gangfei cavalrymen were still like arrows leaving the string, and they rushed towards the intended target bridge entrance without hesitation, and then they were like a flash flood. The earth embankment was broken away, and the arrows shot from the dense crowd hit the side without any hindrance. The red color of blood was mixed in the brown collapsed soil, and the arrow-hit horse rolled heavily on the ground. There was a rumble on the ground. "Sir, the enemy has begun to turn!" A Falcon Army squadron leader reported to the stern-faced Reposti from a short distance away. "Well, I can see it! To be honest, if the other party hasn't responded yet, I will be really disappointed." "Reposti took a deep breath and clasped her fingers together. Since then, the real battle has only begun. Compared with the bridge entrance defended by military formations, the melee troops in the forest direction are indeed insufficient. There are only 3,000 heavy infantrymen of the Central Army. He has been prepared for this. He has the soldiers man-made in the forest. A two-meter-high earthen platform was built to block the To block the impact of the cavalry, "Let's begin!" Reposti said to the back. After hearing the order, the messenger raised the flag in his left hand and waved it three times in a V shape in the air. As the flag danced, a dazzling A long red line emerges from behind the bushes on the left side of the woods "Come out," is the signal!" At the other end of the forest, someone made a sound. It was a group of archers holding huge longbows in a linear array. They stood behind the bushes. If they hadn't stood up, they would have almost stopped. Unseen, a metal helmet wears red feathers. The leather armor on the body was cut off at the shoulders, revealing the bare upper body full of muscles. Huge longbows began to be raised towards the direction of the forest, "opening the strings"

These archers looked relaxed and pulled out the upside-down arrow clusters from their feet. Following the command, they steadily placed the specially-made arrow clusters on the bow strings, "click"

The sound of 1,500 longbows being pulled apart neatly, accompanied by the pounding raindrops, gave people a sense of acupuncture tearing everything apart, and it suddenly became quiet. Xiao Sha, among all creatures, could only hear the raindrops washing the leaves and moistening the ground in this patch of heaven and earth.

The longbow captain was the first to loosen the bowstring. The sound of the bowstring tearing through the air was so sweet. The powerful arrow cluster had pierced the rain curtain in front like an arc, crossing a distance of 150 meters with a whistling white line. Heading towards a captain of the Gangfei Cavalry, just like that, when the Gangfei Cavalry quickly pressed to the side and counterattacked. The more powerful point kill was like a pair of fangs that suddenly opened and bit into the waist of Gang Fei's cavalry, "Ah!"

Just before the cavalrymen heard a scream, they saw a cavalry captain in bright armor commanding his men to charge. His body felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his chest, and he was ejected from the horse. The armor, which was well-made and could withstand the thrust of a spear, was shattered into pieces. A ray of white light penetrated the captain's body, and bright red blood and minced flesh exploded like mist. The white light pierced the back of the captain's body. Still trending, it pierced into the body of another cavalry, and then came out again, like a gourd on a string, making a creepy popping sound, and then this white light was firmly nailed to a tree trunk not far away.

The tail feathers trembled, and the red arrow was like blood. "His!" Everyone took a breath of cold air, and then saw clearly that what was firmly nailed into the tree trunk was an arrow cluster that was obviously thicker and heavier than ordinary arrow clusters. The thumb-thick arrow shaft could not be seen. What kind of wood is used? The tail feathers behind the arrow cluster are a kind of colorful red feathers, although they are stained with the bright red and human blood. The minced meat can still be seen as the tail of some kind of animal. "What is this?" The boss of the Gangfei Guards Cavalry opened his eyes. The tragic situation of the cavalry captain just now made most of the Gangfei Cavalry have their entire scalps exploded with fear. It's so scary. What is this thing? It can penetrate captain-level heavy cavalry armor from a long distance! If such a cluster of arrows hits him... the face of the Gangfei cavalry is as pale as paper. The look on the Gangfei Guards, who take bravery as their glory, can simply be described as wonderful, angry, hesitant, and surprised. Or sad and angry,

Most of the Confederate soldiers have never heard of the thorn tile longbow of the Central Army of the Falcon Empire. In fact, in order not to cause panic among the lower-level officers and soldiers, the Confederate generals never mentioned it in front of their good soldiers. Over this kind of violent arms,! The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and arrow clusters kept coming from the wind and rain, hitting the Gangfei officers on horseback with unstoppable momentum. However, the weakness of the Ciwa longbow was also obvious, and the powerful shots were excessive. Exhausting physical strength, soon the shots from Ciwa's longbow became sparse, and the impact of Gangfei's cavalry became fierce again.

The intensity of the battlefield, from the ambush to the brutal consumption of troops,

Under the rain of arrows shot in the wind and rain, the Gangfei cavalry army showed a determination of a strong man to cut off his wrists, and continued to invest new troops with complete will to die. The flying rain made this scene look particularly heroic. In order to avoid the dense of blow. The Gangfei cavalry were scattered in small groups, densely packed, like ants tumbling in a long line, with the corpses of war horses and fallen cavalry stacked on top of each other.

In the first hour and thirty-five minutes of the battle, Reposti had to reveal his final trump card.

The trebuchet ambushed behind the woods began to roar. The huge trebuchet arm turned into a shadow and violently ejected the catapults. Dozens of catapults with violent whistling sounds rained down on the charging Gang Fei. Cavalry, the place where it was hit is like a line in the rain The cavalrymen fled in panic from the shock wave splashed out. The imperial crossbowmen in the woods quickly attacked and killed the scattered cavalrymen. In the cold rain, the trebuchet men were steaming with steam. They were shirtless and tried their best to Push the hundred kilogram rolling stone onto the trebuchet again,

Two hours and fourteen minutes later, the Congolese cavalry finally rushed into the woods. What appeared in front of them was a two-meter-high platform made of earth. On the platform were close combat infantrymen wearing black armor.

"Kill!" Gang Fei's cavalry drove their horses to hit the platform, and then rode on human ladders to attack the platform.

The two sides were strangled together. It was a super chaotic battle. The formations of both sides were completely in chaos. The blue armor of the Gang Fei cavalry and the black armor of the Imperial Central Army were mixed together. The crossbowmen pulled out their short swords for close combat. Three thousand Central Army heavy infantry formed a defensive line on the earth platform to resist the intrusion of Gang Fei's cavalry.

Up and down the earthen platform, it was no longer possible to tell who was who, with the flash of swords and shadows. The killing screams were deafening. The imperial crossbowmen jumped onto the earth platform and shot the Gang Fei cavalry at close range. Blood flew between the soldiers on both sides. The corpses were covered in the forest like umbrellas. If there was no solid earth platform at the front, the Falcon I'm afraid the military defense line has already been torn apart.

"Report! The fourth squadron has been wiped out!"

"Report! The First Squadron has been defeated!"

Standing in his command position, Reposti looked silent. The cavalry was the king of the field. Using infantry to ambush the cavalry was risky in itself, and the opponent was the Imperial Guard, the most powerful force in the Congo Empire. As expected, their fighting will was much stronger than the Congo troops they had encountered before, and they indeed suffered heavy casualties. He is still entangled with his opponent who refuses to retreat. After all, he is not the invincible Falcon Majesty. In just 2 hours of fighting, the battle in the forest has cost the Falcon Army 6,000 casualties, but it is not easy to live with someone who is not a human. . A conservative estimate is that from the time of the ambush to now, at least 15,000 Gangfei cavalry should have been killed.

If it were an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago. But the opponent was the emperor's imperial guard, which was the main reason for the deviation in the plan. Another reason was the use of a cruel human-headed tower as a bait. This completely angered the entire Congolese army, because there were so many corpses in front of the platform that one could walk up to it. A Congolese cavalry officer jumped off his horse. He stepped on the corpse and charged with his weapon, blood spattered on his face. He looked ferocious and shouted to his subordinates who were fighting fiercely around him. The cavalry used their bodies to block the incoming arrow clusters. If one fell, another one would come to take over. Above, a pair of blood-colored eyes revealed an unyielding will.

Such a scene made the long-time battle-hardened Falcon Army feel a little numb.

Are these still those just non-human beings? No, this is a group of crazy wolves, and the other party is doing it regardless of the cost. Just to stab themselves hard, such opponents are the most terrifying on the battlefield. They have transformed into beasts and completely given up their desire for survival.

Raindrops were falling, and silver lightning split the vast sky like a sharp sword, illuminating the tragic corpses lying scattered below. There was a long line of blue and black interlaced on the soil platform in the forest, and the broken spear was still inserted into the body of the Gang Fei cavalry. On the top, the spearman, already covered in blood, was jumped by the corpse below. The war horse on the platform was knocked away. The body of the war horse squeezed the falcon soldiers in front and gave way. Thousands of knives, swords, and spears collided together. The two sides fought so hard that they couldn't even turn around and take a breath. So close that you can clearly see the opponent's red eyes, and even Reposti's position begins to engage in battle

"Asshole, are you crazy?"

Reposti pulled out the sword from the chest of a Gangfei cavalry and kicked the corpse away with a heavy kick. He glanced at the battlefield with some annoyance and realized that the entire battlefield was like this. The Gangfei Guards were like ants clinging to candy. Similarly, with the same number, the opponent can actually be inextricably killed by our side. Such a situation was unimaginable before. "Woo woo" At this moment, Gang Fei's army, which had been fighting to the death, suddenly retreated. He said, "Long live, he is ours!"

Following the direction of the cheerers' fingers, Reposti saw a Falcon Army flag appearing on the side of the Confederate Army.

It's the cavalry of Jaglins! "Reposti looked at that military flag that was always wandering not far or near. It was basically certain that it was Yaglins. Yaglins had only 1,500 troops. It was because of this that the Confederate Army stopped attacking. They had already been there Once, the commander of the Gang Fei Army was obviously much more cautious.

"Lord Reske, the enemy will attack our flanks at any time, so we should wait until the infantry group before launching an attack!"

Dan Cullen, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the Guards, returned from the front in a state of embarrassment. His face was ugly. There was a large amount of blood seeping out of the armor on his left shoulder. His arms were hanging weakly. It seemed that he was seriously injured. Even he was like this. All the generals were injured. Considering the intensity of the battle,

In fact, after two hours of fighting, Reske had to accept the cruel fact that 10% of the lower-level captains died in the battle. Those who came up behind were led by middle-level officers. The offensive of the non-Jade Guards also began to slow down. Showing that he is unable to sustain his strength, if he continues to fight, Reske dare not say that there is no possibility of collapse.

"Sir, Yaglins asked me to report that the enemy's infantry group has accelerated and is only ten miles away from here! It's best to evacuate to the other side of the river now." At the same time, another piece of information was also sent to Reposti's hands.

"What a pity, if you can still give me some time!" Reposti inserted the sword in his hand into the soil, and looked at the scout's report with some reluctance. The infantry of the Congolese army were rushing towards this direction like crazy. If he can still be given some time, he is sure to chew off another piece of the opponent's flesh and kill two-thirds of Gang Fei's cavalry here.

The opponent is also obviously tired. After launching three consecutive attacks, it has begun to slow down its offensive. If it happens once, these cavalry may be completely defeated.

"Order the entire army to retreat to the other side of the river in an orderly manner!" After hesitating, Reposti gave up this tempting idea. He left ten thousand people at the bridge entrance just to protect this retreat. (To be continued...)
