Realm of Power

"Rumble"

The thunder god's huge roar shook the snow high in the forest, and the snow fell down like white goose feathers in front of the eyes. The artilleryman holding the red flag high waved his hand violently, "Let go!" Dozens of thunder gods pushed fiercely. The bullet humiliates the chamber. Match ropes were pulled, and tongues of fire spewed out from each muzzle!

Clusters of debris appeared everywhere, and the debris rushed into the sky. You could vaguely see the human body being lifted up into the sky. Large areas of snow were turned over by carpet-like explosions, and scattered rocks burst out.

"Forward, those who retreat will be killed!"

The White Steel Legion of the Rila Kingdom suffered a sudden blow. Although there was a brief panic at the beginning, it soon showed extremely excellent combat qualities. Facing the intensive falling artillery fire, it was able to enter the strongest army of the Rila people. The officers are all officers with excellent combat experience and handling abilities.

They resolutely suppressed the commotion and pushed the soldiers with all their strength to charge in the direction of Thor's shooting. The officer with a red banner on his head stood at the head of the advancing team, holding the command sword high in his hand, leading the entire team of soldiers forward without fear.

"Baigang! Baigang!"

The Rilla soldiers shouted enthusiastically and uniformly, with overwhelming momentum. Rows of Rilla spearmen undulated forward. Behind them, more Rilla soldiers came in a steady stream.

The battlefield below is almost filled with Rilla soldiers! The neat shouts made the falling Thor cannonballs begin to look less scary.

At the front of each team, the red cloth strips on the helmets of each Rilla officer stood out among the gleaming white armor formations. The bravery they showed allowed the soldiers to completely ignore the thunderous artillery fire pouring down from the distant slopes. The Rila soldiers wearing full armor quickly formed a dense skirmish line. In fact, it cannot be called at all. It's not a skirmish line, but a phalanx-like line shoulder to shoulder!

The wind soon dispersed the smoke from the thunder bombs in the distance. When he could clearly see the formation of the Rilla people on the opposite side, Reposti, who was standing on a high place, put down the lookout glass in his hand. I took a deep breath and met my opponent! The prediction just now was seriously wrong. Judging from the huge attack line spread out by the Rila people, this elite Rila army that came from the distant camp was not 30,000 to 40,000 people, but definitely over 50,000 people. The three march lines shown in the lookout mirror are only the part that opens the way ahead. Behind the three march lines, there are about 20,000 troops protecting the heavy infantry group.

Now start the fight. The enemy commanders all threw the Rela infantrymen into the charge.

Countless long spears condensed with the cold light and dew of winter looked like a big black blanket covering the entire battlefield in the lookout glass. The rising smoke plumes fell, leaving a gap in the black blanket, but it was filled in the blink of an eye. The black carpet is still flowing forward at a constant speed. Thor shells plowed from the front of the team to the back, red balls of light whizzing around with every explosion. A ball of flesh and blood rose up.

"Move forward, Baigang will never retreat!" A Ruila command sword with exquisite patterns flew into the air with the explosion, turned around a few times and landed on the ground, still moving straight forward. Officers and soldiers fell together in the fire, and someone stood up to take up their place.

"Load, quickly!" The artillerymen on the Thor position looked eager. Big buckets of snow water were splashed on the hot barrel of the Thor cannon, and there were bursts of pungent water vapor. This was the first time they encountered such an opponent. The bombardment of the fifty thunder gods was undoubtedly fierce, but the Rila people showed no signs of stopping.

The Thunder God was placed on the front slope of the hilltop of the ambush position, commanding a commanding position, with a direct range of more than 500 meters. The soldiers of the White Steel Legion in the distance were completely in a passive situation of being beaten. The artillery fire was aimed directly at the enemy and fired from a condescending angle. And out,

As the thick white smoke sprayed out in rows downwards like a performance, you could see clouds of smoke rising up, shooting straight into the sky in different postures. At first, the smoke pillars rose in rows almost at the same time, but later they became indistinguishable. "Ahem!" The choking smell of white smoke poured back filled the battlefield and flowed slowly. It makes people breathless. The equipment of the Northern Army is an old-style retreating Thor that is supplemented by a general suit. At this close range, it can no longer be reset to fire again. Anyway, it is aimed directly at the black line below. go out. Basically, you can fire directly at the densely packed impact fan of Ruila people below!

Reposti put down the observation glass in his hand and curled his lips slightly. The White Steel Army was indeed the elite of the Rila people. The whole army was full of fierce wildness. This proved that the commander of the other side was a very confident person. , naturally not stupid enough to think that there are no protective forces near the Imperial Thunder God, but still adopt such crazy impact tactics, because they believe that they can directly tear apart the Falcon Army's blocking line based on the saturation impact,

Ten minutes later, the front-end advance line of the Rila people had approached the wooden rows set up below. There were three rows of wooden rows with sharp front ends, and each row was twenty meters apart. Rila's infantry was destroying the wooden rows of the first row. Some impatient people simply climbed over it. I saw dozens of white lights flying out from the direction of the forest, fiercely piercing into the front of the group of Ruila soldiers. "Pounce", a bloody mess exploded directly at the impact point, and the crossbow arrows with metal tail fins directly hit the Ruila soldiers. A long bloody road was plowed inside, and more than a dozen Rila soldiers were smashed to pieces, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, and their twisted shields rolled gurglingly next to the corpses.

"Hold on!"

In the sloping forest, the Imperial crossbowmen stared at the rows of Rilla soldiers advancing in front of the spikes below. The crossbow captain next to them shouted loudly, "Get closer and shoot! Keep it closer and shoot!"

The obstruction that dozens of crossbow vehicles can provide is extremely limited. After a three-wheeler was quickly launched, the penetrating deterrent effect of the crossbow arrows was no longer effective. "Forward, Baigang!" The morale of the Ruila people increased again, and there were all the people in front of them. The shouts of the Rilla people undulated like waves, and hundreds of Imperial crossbowmen squatted In the woodland about a hundred meters behind the raft, the crossbow was held flat. Looking at the crowds of people, the crossbowmen from the Imperial Central Army looked calm. They were subordinates from Reposti and had participated in many tragic battles. In this battle, I was at best a little surprised by the tenacity of the enemy in front of me.

The performance of the crossbowmen from the southwest and northwest districts was slightly fluctuating. The impact line of the Ruila people on the opposite side was not ordinary ferocious. These Ruila people were simply not afraid of death. Standing against the rising black smoke of the Thunder God, I watched the entire team being hit by several rounds of Thunder God. Traveling hundreds of meters Distance, the crossbowmen were also shocked by the enemy's momentum. The three rows of wooden rafts were about sixty meters deep. The Rilla people carried the crossbow cart and cleared two rows in succession, leaving the last row, layer upon layer. The piles of wooden piles, wooden frames, earth and stone obstacles are all stacked up. It cannot be easily broken through with human power. The swarming Ruila soldiers were stuck here one after another. The queue began to become chaotic, and the original uniform speed had also slowed down. The woodland across the way was still quiet, except for Thor, who was still firing, now turning towards the raft area,

"Rumble" Every explosion would lift broken wood and flesh into the air. The last row of wooden rafts was finally pushed to the ground by the Rila people, the crossbowmen. shooting! "The lingering sound of the password was still echoing, and rows of dense crossbow arrows suddenly flashed with cold light! The Rila people struggling in front of the obstacle seemed to be suddenly pushed past by large pieces of black sickles, and suddenly a large piece of them trembled and fell. Miserably. The shouts could not be suppressed, and people were falling everywhere. "Go forward, go forward!" "The Ruila people were also red-eyed. As long as the officer did not fall, his command sword would always point forward. He shouted an order and told the soldiers to rush out!

The crossbow arrows came down again, but the Rila people still didn't stop. They were still pouring out of the platoon area. The formation was already chaotic, but it was also doubly dense. There was no queue to speak of. They stepped on the corpses of their comrades in front. The officers shouted without changing their expressions. The soldiers roared like wounded beasts and began to charge without a queue. It didn't matter whether there was a crossbow cart coming from the opposite side, so everyone was blinded. Heading straight up, tens of thousands of elite White Steel Legions were responsible for the attack, starting from the launch of the attack. I never thought about retreating!

Under the flag base of the White Steel Legion, a middle-aged general wearing heavy armor was holding his head high, staring at the impact line in front. His short flaxen hair stood up like stubbles, and his face was exposed on the side of his helmet. The silhouette is resolute and bold, and the red general's cape rises from the armored shoulders. With his shoulders hanging down on the waist of the war horse, General Rilla's face still showed no sign of wavering. He was none other than Prince Gavin Howard, who took over Marquis Fit's White Steel Corps. He was the younger brother of the current King Rilla, and a man with a previous history. A military commander known for his stubborn temper and arrogance,

He looked at the dense flow of people under his command struggling in the far-reaching raft area. The dead people were one after another, and it was impossible to estimate them. But there were still more people panting across, surging upward in groups. The last row of wooden piles formed a triangle, twisted together with thick subway wire, and the feet were inserted into the soil to fix it. It was smashed deeply into the ground, and the Ryla soldiers who rushed up panting were lying here. Finding that they could neither get around nor move them away, they could only use manpower to push them. The momentum of the Ruila Army was huge, and in the blink of an eye, a full crowd had gathered in front of the row of wooden piles.

This place is only fifty meters away from the woodland where the crossbowmen were in front. Even the soldiers of the White Steel Army in heavy armor began to fall in large numbers in front of the dense crossbows, like small flying insects covered with spider webs. Some White Steel soldiers The soldiers erected a shield wall, but in the face of the roaring heavy crossbows, blood spattered among the crowd, and screams could be heard from heaven to earth.

"Shield wall, hurry up!" Some Rila officers ordered loudly, and some officers frantically slashed at the connection points of these wooden piles with their command swords. The soldiers were also smashing them with heavy flails in their hands. In addition to seeing the wooden piles being smashed, Beating it staggeringly has little effect There were no results, and some officers simply led the soldiers, threw away their weapons and shields, and dug hard in the frozen hard soil with their hands. It seemed that they wanted to dig directly into the soil and pull out the wooden stakes. The more people gathered, the more people gathered. , almost becoming a human wall. When the crossbow arrows pouring from high places fly by, they never miss.

The God of Thunder has stopped attacking. The heavy-duty ballistae that was just average is now a big killer. The bowstring is constantly drawn, and dozens of cold rays are like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the enemy infantry that is so dense that it cannot be denser. Within such a range, Even the heavy armor and shield are as fragile as paper! The blood mist no longer splashes out in clusters, but in clusters, spreading like a gush. The fragments of the target's human body hit by the front end of the half-moon were flying in all directions, and alleys of flesh and blood were forcibly plowed out of the crowd. A large amount of blood spurted out almost at the same time, causing the snow on the ground to melt and even lose its ability to absorb blood. The red liquid flowed from the adobe like a stream!

"The opponent can no longer withstand it. Order the Fifth and Seventh Infantry Regiment to press forward with all their strength! We must destroy the opponent's Thor!" Prince Gawain Howard ordered the messenger cavalry behind him with a serious face. This time he acted as a royal family member. Participating in the great battle against the northern part of the Falcon Empire greatly boosted the morale of the frontline Rilla people. For this special status, His Highness the Prince, Feit naturally took great care of him. He handed over his most elite White Steel Legion to him, and also sent several generals who were familiar with combat to assist. Behind this middle-aged general , after hearing the order, several legion generals looked at each other,

One of the generals said bravely, "Your Highness, the Falcon Emperor has always been good at defense. When the situation is unclear, he hastily invested the main force of the legion. I'm afraid it is a bit inappropriate. Should we wait until the situation becomes clear and then put the two main forces in?" The infantry regiment goes in!"

"madness!"

Prince Gawain Howard waved his riding crop with an unhappy expression, and said in an unceremonious tone, "Since the main force of the Falcon Emperor is attacking the Fifth Army, the enemy in front of us is just a small force responsible for containing reinforcements. Everyone, They are all famous brave generals in the kingdom, and the White Steel Legion is The most powerful army in the kingdom, this time it is used as the front line of the army to intimidate the enemy. It is the sharpest breakthrough spear in the entire coalition. With 50,000 elite members of our White Steel Army, we chose to retreat in the first battle. From now on, we, the Kingdom of Rila. Where can we show off our face! Other countries in the coalition will also laugh at us!"

"The general looked embarrassed when he was scolded. He hesitated and said, "Your Highness, there are more than a dozen thunder gods on the opposite side, as well as heavy crossbows that only belong to the large army, and a large number of crossbowmen. Judging from this, the Falcon Army on the opposite side is by no means a small force, and the opponent has deployed three rows of wooden platoons in advance. It was obvious that they had already planned to concentrate their fire within the platoon, causing great damage to our legionnaires and forcing us to completely lose control of our formation... Your Highness. Our army has already suffered heavy casualties..."

"Shut up!" Prince Gawain Howard looked at him with cold eyes, raised his riding crop and pointed to the opposite side, and said sternly

"As long as we break through the enemy's blockage in front of us and capture the enemy's Thor, our army can encircle the main force of the Falcon Emperor who is attacking the fifth legion from the side. Therefore, no matter whether the opponent is a large legion or not, for our army , are all enemies that must be broken through. Instead of procrastinating Pull, why don't you give it a try? Don't you feel it? Although our army has suffered a lot of losses, it is like a rainbow and has already pressed forward. In such a dense attack line, the opponent's crossbow thunder god can no longer suppress it. It only needs another Push forward fifty meters and the opponent will collapse!"

The battle has lasted for an hour, and the White Steel Legion on the opposite side has suffered at least more than 10,000 casualties. If their morale was high before, after suffering heavy casualties in several consecutive blocking lines, the opponent's morale has reached the point where the oil well lights have dried up. The last line of resistance is wearing away the last bit of fighting spirit of the Ruila people. The opponent can no longer support it, even if they are within reach of victory.

"It's over!" Reposti looked tiredly and looked away from the flesh and blood strangulation line dozens of meters away. The front end of the Rilla people finally collapsed with casualties. A large number of soldiers began to turn and escape. Even the officers could not suppress it. These five Ten meters has become the death line for the Ruila people! Dozens of heavy-duty ballistae with great power and intimidation were shot at within a range of tens of meters visible to the naked eye. Even the bravest soldiers would lose the courage to charge after being blocked again, and they saw the wooden pile. The fallen corpses were piled up one after another, and the officers and soldiers of the Rila people were slaughtered without any cover. The powerful impact of the heavy crossbow vehicle almost turned the Ruibai Steel Army soldiers in the front row of wooden piles into a pile of rotten flesh and limbs! From east to west, the front of less than a hundred meters was covered with the corpses of Ruila people who died in various postures.

The Ruila people behind were still moving forward with the inertia, and were plowed over by dense crossbow arrows. In just a short time, the thick assault queue of the Ruila people was almost penetrated, and flesh and steel were mixed together! The pure white steel armor was soaked in red blood. Hot human blood flowed out from the corpse, melting the snow on the ground and turning into a trickle. The entire hillside was like a blood-red waterfall.

"Your Highness, the Second Infantry Regiment collapsed!"

"Your Highness, Lord Joshua, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, requests to withdraw!"

At the place where the flag of the White Steel Army was located, the messenger cavalry brought bad news one after another. Prince Gawain Howard, who looked confident just now, looked ashen. The royal cavalry and generals around him looked pale and looked at This battlefield is like a massacre. A royal guard who came in through connections almost vomited while holding the tree next to him.

"The entire army retreats and rests!" Prince Gawain Howard glanced at the entire dead line where Rilla soldiers were piled up, and issued the order through gritted teeth. He could also see that the White Steel Army was completely defeated in front of this dead line. The soldiers looked hesitant. If the other side launched a counterattack at this time, the entire legion would completely collapse and become an uncontrollable rout. That would be really embarrassing! (To be continued...)
