Realm of Power

The sky is gradually getting brighter, but from the leaden clouds, the snowflakes flying and falling have no intention of stopping. In the front section of the coalition camp that has not been affected, several countries in the coalition camp that have closed their camps have expressions on their faces. He watched uncertainly as the defeated army came in waves, and listened to the sound of thunder coming from the front. With the exciting bugle, the sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared, and the defeated troops who fled in disarray and wanted to be directly hit to death were finally able to take a breath. Those imperial cavalry who were like murderous gods were finally invisible. The rear camp collapsed, and the Falcon Empire The cavalry trampled the company camp and countless troops were routed. Everyone thought the coalition was doomed.

Who would have known that the Ruila people, despite their extremely high level of combat power, were still in the midst of a collapse, turned the tide, and formed a counterattack in the middle. Unexpectedly, they succeeded. The Ruila army's decisiveness and bravery saved the defeated army of tens of thousands of people. , these defeated troops were completely frightened out of their courage, until they ran forward for several miles, and almost reached the end of the army camp in one breath.

Seeing the end of the camp ahead, the defeated army began to come to a halt. The vast and boundless wilderness reflected despair in everyone's eyes.

Just now, we were just trying to survive. Everyone could run forward without hesitation. The only thing they thought about was that those who ran in front could survive, while those who ran behind would be stabbed into skewers by the imperial cavalry's spears. Now that they had run to the end of the coalition camp, they thought that from here It still takes more than four hundred miles to return to the coalition's frontline base camp. Thinking of this, each of the defeated troops felt as cold as falling into an ice hole. The little bit of relaxation just now is no longer there. What should I do? Not escaping is death. Escape would mean death. It's such a heavy snow and cold winter, and there is no military tent that can withstand the cold winter. Without food, no matter how strong a person is, if a night of bone-chilling wind blows in the wilderness, he will basically not be able to get up the next day. On a cold winter night in the northern wilderness, the lowest temperature can reach minus 2 degrees below zero. ten degrees,

"Don't run away. You're all going to die anyway, so it's better to surrender. I heard that the Falcon Emperor* doesn't kill prisoners!" Someone in the defeated army collapsed on the ground exhausted.

"Where did you hear the rumors? Who doesn't know that the Falcon Emperor is ferocious and violent, and any prisoner caught in their hands will die. They are cannibals!" A junior officer of the coalition army held on to a tree trunk and gasped. "Everyone might as well cheer up Just keep running. With so many people, there are always a few who are lucky enough to go back. I just hope that those who go back can help me pass a message to the Qiji family of the Barrett Kingdom. I, Qiji Trul, can’t go back, so let’s go back. That stupid woman, don’t wait for me anymore, it’s not worth it!”

"You still have something to say, and there is a woman waiting eagerly for you to go back. We soldiers are in dire straits. We were defeated so miserably this time, and out of ten of us, less than three will be able to go back." He's a damn Rila man. He has nothing to do to snatch anything from the Falcon Empire. "The defeated army seemed to be yelling at the Rila people, but not many people showed any gratitude for the Rila people's blocking of the imperial cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that the Rila people wanted to be the overlord of this Central European Barrow. After everyone was full and full, they came to fight in this desolate land and marched westward for a month in the fierce cold wind. Not to mention Chi Feng Hanxue, he was chased like a dog on the way back. Thinking of those companions who had become minced meat under the horses' hooves, whoever was scolding and yelling was the first one to start crying. the sound of crying,

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die in this foreign land this time!"

"I don't want to die!"

"No matter what, even if it means death, I will fight together! I was driven for more than ten miles like a dog, and I am already hungry. No matter what, I have to eat before I die." In the midst of the collapse of the army A strong man stood up and looked into the distance. At the last section of the coalition camp was the Frederica camp.

Seeing the military flag of the Frederica people, the strong man grinned. They didn't gain anything this time. The only gain they could count was that they privately bought a lot at low prices from generals from other countries. Food, this is not a secret in the coalition army, Frederica's army is all lightly equipped The troops did not have any heavy baggage this time, so they marched at the fastest speed. They got rid of the Silas army who was dawdling behind for more than ten miles in one breath, and then they pulled out a 20-mile camp with such strategic depth. , the front has been wiped out, and Frederica’s army is actually a rare piece of pure land.

"There is no need to die, there is no end to the road!" The strong man's face was filled with joy. The strong man holding the weapon stopped fifty meters away from the camp, looking up at the Frederica camp, Frey The Derika soldiers had already drawn their bowstrings on the camp tower, but there were not many of them, less than five hundred at most. If they were fired together, it would be enough to increase their weight by about ten kilograms. There is no problem with the iron arrows, and the strong man is not stupid. He knows that the camp in front of him cannot be opened by personal strength, and the Frederica people are very famous for their stinginess. It is impossible to make the Frederica people pity you. It's possible. Since you can't get it, you can only rob it. Fortunately, everyone knows that Frederica's soldiers are second-rate in combat effectiveness at best, and they don't have enough troops.

Only by robbing Frederica’s people of food could he possibly go back! A thought flashed through the mind of the strong man, and he turned around and shouted to the defeated army behind him: "Those who want to survive should rush in with me. There is food in the Frerican camp. If we defeat it, everyone will die." There is hope of going back! Otherwise, everyone will wait here to be beheaded by the Falcon Army!"

"What, there is food in the Frederica camp?" The defeated troops all around were disgraced and at a loss for the future. Some even despaired and wanted to end their own lives. It was better than being trampled to death by the iron hoofs of the imperial cavalry. After hearing the strong man's words, The loose crowd of the defeated army suddenly gathered together, and their eyes turned red when they thought of the food inside and directly saw the camp of Frederica's army.

"Asshole, what do you want to do!" Frederica's archer's hand holding the bow was trembling. There were tens of thousands of people here, and it was completely dark. Although the army was defeated, the momentum was rising as soon as they gathered. For only the second-rate For the combat-strength Frederica Army, this pressure is too much. Most of the equipment is still leather armor, and the Frederica soldiers are just simply drilled. , how could they withstand the momentum of tens of thousands of mourning soldiers who were ready to fight to the death, and the soldiers' hands were trembling. The officers' faces were also pale. One officer chased Frederica's general and said, "Sir, we can't hesitate any longer. The people are gone, and the food can't be kept! The food we traded this time is enough to support our safe return. Others Throw away the excess! Everyone’s survival comes first.”

"No, this time the kingdom spent a huge amount of money to buy food. If I just abandon it like this, I will die when I return to the country! Now this situation is almost a total collapse. We are facing a long wilderness of 400 miles behind. Who can control it? With more food, whoever has more confidence in going back." Frederica's general's face had already turned pale with fright, but he still waved his hand to interrupt the officer and continued.

"Give us food. We will leave, otherwise we will fight in and leave no one behind!"

There was a commotion of the defeated army outside. The archers on the camp wall had sweat on their foreheads and hands. They kept looking back at the officers of their own team. The officers looked at the general below. The huge pressure made the entire camp feel like a stormy sea. The small island before the arrival, "Fire your bows and prepare for battle!" came the voice of the messenger below. The hearts of the archers and officers above were half cold. Although they all knew how greedy and stingy their generals were, they didn't expect it at such a juncture. They actually sold three thousand of their entire army just for the food. Grief and anger were written on the faces of every Frederica man, and tens of thousands of defeated troops began to riot.

"Come on, open the camp!" Finally someone could no longer bear it, and the defeated army swarmed forward. Arrows flew from the camp wall, and the front of the defeated army suddenly fell down. But at this time, for the sake of food, the defeated army was already jealous. Without food, it was just the difference between dying early and dying late. Only by getting food can people survive. Suddenly, the defeated army was like a wild beast forced into a trap. Facing the clusters of arrows fired from the direction of the camp, a swarm of swarms surged up regardless, and countless people fought to the death there. The Frederica men on the camp wall threw everything they could down below. Hot water and boiling oil poured down from the heights to the outside of the raft. The screams of the defeated army came one after another, and white gas even emerged from the cracks in the armor leaves. The boiling oil cooked the defeated army in the iron can. At this moment, the camp was already surrounded by three levels of defeated troops.

After fighting until now, the defenders of Frederica also know that taking a step back will lead to collapse.

Let the defeated army rush into the camp. Once it collapses, no one knows where they will die, so they try their best to resist.

If you pull up the camera at this time, you will see a huge area in the coalition camp. The war is already raging at both ends. The defeated troops are attacking their own camp for food. The Ruila army is attacking the imperial cavalry with great momentum. On the slope where they were gathering, the Ruela Army relied on their numerical advantage, and groups of infantry formed formations below the slope. There was vast chaos under the gloomy sky, and the strong wind carried snowflakes and fluttered on the faces of the soldiers on both sides. The Marquis of Fitt had 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and Salon's assault cavalry continued to fight, so losses were unavoidable. , plus some stragglers outside, the actual assembled strength is only 13,000 or 13,400.

Salon's southwest area assault cavalry met the battle on the move. The 13,000-4,000 troops were divided into four queues. They used the mobility of the war horses to roam around the flanks of the Rila army, posing as if the whole army might launch a violent attack at any time. In an attacking posture, the infantry phalanx of the Ruela Army formed a concave formation that was clumsy but could contain the cavalry attack. For example, the two giant iron pincers protruding forward are the heavy steps of the Rila White Steel Army. They can attack and defend. They protect the relatively weak archers and light infantry in the middle. If the opponent's cavalry dares to directly attack the center, the two giant pincers will Any enemy that rushes in will be cut into two pieces without any hesitation, forming an iron barrel-like encirclement.

"Just suppress it remotely, don't fight!"

Salon's expression was unusually calm. He looked at the Ruila Army infantry with blood-red eyes and gritted their teeth as they suffered huge casualties. Just to quickly shorten the distance between the assault cavalry and the opponent's shooters, he knew that the opponent was completely hooked. The Ruila Army adopted the following method: The purpose of static braking and setting up such a large military formation to lure the Falcon Empire's assault cavalry to maneuver around was to use up the little remaining horsepower of the assault cavalry. Saron did this deliberately, despite the densely packed infantry and spears of the opponent. The terrifying edge of shimmering metal. The spear heads are like a forest! They showed more tenacity every time, but the lack of mobility was the fatal point. Blood was flying in the infantry queue, and there were constant screams everywhere! The assault cavalry fired with the crossbows in their hands, like ants crawling over a piece of sugar cube. Countless arrows flew, and shining streaks of light could be seen shooting past the huge formation of the Ruila Army.

"Hold still. The enemy is about to die!"

Marquis Fate loudly ordered the whole army. He was waiting until the horsepower of the Falcon Army's assault cavalry was completely exhausted. Once the horsepower was exhausted, the cavalry's mobility would be completely gone. However, the long-range shooting tactics displayed by the Falcon Empire's assault cavalry still made him feel a little numb.

These elites who could fight in close combat, long-range combat, and even on foot, loosened the bowstrings of the crossbows in their hands. Just snap! snap! snap! It was like a continuous explosion. Although the white steel heavy infantry had been arranged on the periphery to form a steel barrier. But facing the scattering like a storm, casualties on our side were inevitable, but everyone had only one thought in their mind: press on. Forward! This is a life-and-death battle, there is no retreat. There is no victory or defeat, only life and death! The competition was to see who would collapse first. Behind the human barrier formed by the white steel heavy infantry, the Ruila army archers were also counterattacking the shooting of the imperial cavalry. Countless white lines shot out from the side of the pincer formation formed by tens of thousands of Ruila soldiers. The imperial cavalry that were bypassing the side fell off their horses one after another, and the other imperial cavalry scattered one after another, and everyone showed an unconcealable fatigue. The morale of the army seemed to plummet, and the main flag of the army that had been standing high on the slope actually began to turn and flee.

"Victory is just around the corner! Order the whole army to speed up, and the light cavalry to go out, and be sure to chase the opponent's main flag!!"

Marquis Fate raised his hand with a happy face and ordered loudly. There were still 3,000 Ruila light cavalry in his main formation. If you keep holding it down, you will just wait for the enemy cavalry to be exhausted. At the moment of horsepower running out, with the speed of light cavalry, it is not a problem to catch up with the enemy's fleeing main flag. The enemy's military strength is exhausted, and morale is even worse. With one side gaining and the other losing, the balance of the war completely tilts to their side. With the victory of this battle, they can completely establish control over most of the northern part of Gangfei. The most important thing is that the main force of the Falcon Empire's most feared cavalry was severely damaged and collapsed. This is definitely exciting good news for the coalition. The next attack will not be cautious and slow in the wilderness for a month, but the army will go straight to Puteau and press the southwest, achieving a heroic feat that is not inferior to that of their predecessors. Thinking of this, Marquis Fate's heart is already full of spring flowers, facing the sea!

Three thousand light cavalrymen galloped out, like hounds smelling blood, and rushed towards the area on the slope where the battle flag disappeared, chasing straight to the top of the slope like lightning. At this moment, a deep war horn suddenly came from the opposite direction of the slope. "What's going on?" Marquis Fate raised his head, and his extremely excited face was unexpectedly stunned for a moment. A dazzling cold light in front of him came into his eyes. The light cavalrymen who had just run to the top of the slope fell off their horses like banana leaves in a rainstorm. Marquis Fate's excited face turned pale as if he had been slapped in the face. Looking at the scene in front of him, many people were shocked and turned into stone. On the top of the slope, thousands of black cavalrymen appeared in front of everyone like a black line. In front of me

"What is this?"

"Marquis Fate's pain shrank unnaturally, and he stared blankly at the black tide in front of him that blocked his sight. It was so black that it was dazzling and people dared not look directly at it. He saw countless war horses, cavalrymen wearing black armor plates holding cold spears with metal tips, like stars in the sky. Compared with these black cavalrymen who were as still as mountains but full of murderous and violent aura, they were obviously incomparable to the black assault cavalrymen who had been entangled with him for several hours. These black cavalrymen had thicker armor, and there were thickened armor plates in special parts. The riding helmets on their heads were decorated with dazzling red tassels, full of murderous aura. There was a white thorn flower emblem on the chest of the armor.

"Heavy cavalry! "Fate's body trembled. The other side actually hid such a large number of heavy cavalry. It was a trap. This was a trap. Marquis Fate was not a fool. He reacted immediately. Moreover, in front of this black line, a fat man wearing black heavy armor and a red cloak was looking at him coldly. Under the other side's gaze that was far sharper than an arrow, Marquis Fate felt that everything about him seemed to be under the control of the other side! I had seen pictures of this man's appearance several times, but I didn't expect to see the real person at such a distance. No wonder! No wonder I fell into the trap without noticing. Emperor of the Falcon Empire, the invincible Wiki Sub-falcon!

In a tremor, the black heavy cavalry group began to exert force, the earth trembled, the lances were like snow, the imperial heavy cavalry charged, like a landslide, the right side of Marquis Fate's pincer formation was the first to contact, even with the formation of the white steel war army, in an instant, it was like a ball of spinning spikes and flails that hit the queue heavily, and human blood splattered. The first row of white steel heavy infantry that came into contact was hit and knocked away like toys, and was cut in half. Countless iron hoofs and swords, like a flood, overwhelmed and drowned the stupid Ruila infantry in front, and the cavalry formed a black iron wall that expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Ruila army is finished! "Marquis Fate was completely dumbfounded. This group of Ruila troops was already the elite division of the kingdom. It was the result of countless efforts and wealth in the country, and it took more than ten years to show it. It was the foundation of Ruila's rise. But now, under the charge of the Falcon Empire's heavy cavalry, it was like a flood that broke through the dam and completely shattered Ruila's hope (to be continued)
