Realm of Power

War in April, China and Europe are covered with clouds of war in Barrow

The monarchs who originally focused on the battle between the Istan Empire and the Kingdom of Feishan suddenly discovered that the middle part of Barro in Central Europe was really a lively place. The Hungarians rose, the two principalities were destroyed, and the northern part of Rila was defeated. A hornet's nest, the flames of war filled the air, and the capital of Rila Kingdom was shaken. King Rila had to lead the small number of main forces to evacuate from the front line of the Uduya Kingdom in a panic, completely losing the approximately 30,000 to 40,000 troops of the Uduya Kingdom to the Hungarians. tooth man,

The Kingdom of Uduya is a mountainous area with complex terrain, crisscrossed by deep valleys and ravines. It is the area where it is most difficult for the cavalry to develop its superiority. It was originally enough to support the Western Front with a small number of troops. However, after encountering several obstacles, the Huns changed their tactics. , although the Hungarian Prime Minister Wu Ya’s Western Army had 30,000 to 40,000 men, The main force of the Hungarian archers and cavalry were not willing to be lost in such an area, so they followed the opinions of their subordinates. For such terrain, they should send infantry to guard the formation, use a large number of servants and cannon fodder to explore the road, and gradually fill in the dangerous areas ahead. No, although this tactic is a bit slow, it is actually very effective.

The Wu Duya Army on the opposite side is mainly light infantry, equipped with mountain archers. It is a typical mountain warfare army. In terms of mountain guerrillas, it is enough to give any enemy a headache, but once it is forced to block it, the weakness of too few troops will be exposed.

Facing the Hungarian Spanish army with 100,000 servants spread out on both wings, one can imagine the pressure on Uduya's front line. Originally, he thought that relying on the big tree of the Kingdom of Rila, he could still have more troops and supplies. With support, who would have known that the Rila Army had just arrived on the Western Front and immediately launched a large-scale evacuation?

What to do? It’s a big joke to use the strength of Uduya’s country to fight against the Hungarian 200,000 Western Army! King Uduya, who had pigtails all over his head, was dumbfounded

If it weren't for the two principalities that were harmed by the Hungarians, King Uduya might be considering surrendering now. They are all vassals anyway. What's the difference between being a vassal of the Hungarians and being a vassal of the Rila people? , but he did have two principalities plundered by Hungary. ````The situation of all the citizens becoming slaves was frightening. Surrendering to Hungary was impossible, but if the fight continued, Uduya would not be able to win even if he filled in all the young men in the country. King Uduya could only be furious. He ordered his troops to abandon most of their defense lines and gather all their forces on the dangerous Moran Plateau where the royal capital is located.

Ampalu, the Acropolis of the Royal Capital of Rila, as the Acropolis of the Royal Capital, blocks the only way to the Royal Capital of Rila. The Sixth Army of the Rila Kingdom stationed here usually has 12,000 people. . Moreover, the weapons are well-equipped and well-trained. However, due to the shortage of troops in Ruila, the Sixth Army was ordered to be transferred to the western front. There are only 3,000 troops left in this acropolis. Facing the Royal Capital of Ruila fifty miles behind, An After a military discussion, the officers of the Palu garrison finally chose to defend Palu to death and never let the Hungarians take another step north. This passage connecting the royal capital and the hinterland was blocked.

The Hungarians came with ferocity. Pushing directly under the acropolis, the cavalry plundered and broke into nearby cities and villages. Fires were rising everywhere. Thousands of Rielas were tied up with big ropes by the Huns and driven like dogs and sheep. Or carrying plundered grain and grass. Or they may have demolished the houses and shacks they originally relied on to avoid the cold, and brought in materials to build stables. Raise food and fodder, and coerce the strong and strong. In the blink of an eye, people everywhere were devastated and smoke billowed. Countless victims!

Not to mention that the Hungarian sentry patrols were there almost all night long. These Hungarian cavalry were wrapped in thick animal skins outside their iron armor. He looked at the city wall coldly. They circled around Ampalu like hungry wolves. As long as there is a grease torch burning on the city wall, it will flicker in the firelight. From time to time, Hungarian cavalry with large bows on horseback emerged from the darkness. Silent separation or coupling. This happened all night long, making Anpalu's defenders so nervous that they didn't even dare to sleep. In the dust-like darkness, they could see a series of tents under the city. Standing in the largest stone sentry tower at the highest point of the city wall defense system, looking around, within a radius of ten miles, there are camps composed of tents like an ocean.

The night was dark, and dark clouds piled up in the night sky, pressing directly on the city. Block out the starlight so that you can't see it at all. Only the whistling sound of the cold wind was heard.

The camp under the city was spread out for more than ten miles, and bonfires were lit outside the camp, with sparks exploding from time to time. The fierce and powerful Huns either rested in their tents or sat around the campfire talking and laughing. Some Hungarians made a fire and drank some wine to keep warm. Then they got on their horses and disappeared into the darkness, patrolling and guarding. Outside the camp is where the captive Ruila people live and struggle to survive. There were bonfires lit by dead branches and remnants of siege equipment scattered across the vast plain. Rilla slaves gathered around the bonfire numbly, not even daring to cry. Anyone who cries or makes noise at night will be regarded by the Hungarians as disturbing the morale of the army. The Hungarian cavalry in charge of the inspection were not sure who they were. They rushed over and chopped down dozens more slave cannon fodder. In the minds of these Hungarians, it was no big deal.

Occasionally, screams would suddenly be heard in the darkness of the night. However, Ruilaren, who had the courage to escape under the cover of night, was captured by a patrol outside the Hungarian camp. His body was frozen solid with blood and mud. The Hungarian cavalrymen were tied behind horses and dragged back, and were thrown into the camp where slaves gathered. The boldest ones died, and those who refused to accept their fate died. The remaining tens of thousands of slaves sat around the bonfire, their heads bowed deeply. Waiting for this long cold night to pass soon. One more moment to live is just one more moment. No one knows how long this life can be kept, and they are even too numb to care.

This dark night is too long. It has not appeared in the land of Rila for twenty or thirty years.

A huge tent has a black flag flying high on top, decorated with animal tails. Just looking at it makes people wary. Under this standing flag is the camp of the main Hungarian army, surrounded by a large number of servants. There is an exit outside to facilitate the entry and exit of the cavalry. There are no watchtowers or arrow towers. Not very sturdy. But the sheer number has already shown the tendency of overwhelming them.

The remnants of the Hungarian army had already fought with the smell of blood all over their bodies, and they didn't care about the harsh environment they were in. In the camp, there were countless Rila slaves crying loudly and struggling hard. Fighting for his life under the driving force of the Hungarians. I don’t know how many people were buried in this wilderness in just one or two days! The Hungarians were galloping back and forth, driving and killing for fun. From time to time, rough laughter could be heard, spreading straight into the wilderness!

At this moment, an emergency military meeting is being held in the Hungarian tent.

The thin armor that resembled fish scales was worn by Yao Sen. It is the collection of a certain Rila nobleman. The armor leaves are fine and fine, and each piece is cold forged from fine iron. It fits perfectly on Yao Sen's body. In addition to wearing armor, he can also show a bit of ruthlessness. He glanced at the captains in the tent with sharp eyes and said in a solemn voice, "Rilla's main force has returned to the army. Although the main infantry is still three or four days away, the forward light cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from us. We don't have time." There are more. Although the number of servants gathered does not reach the required 100,000, there are still 70,000 or 80,000. We now have two options. One is to capture Ampalu, and the capital of Rila is ahead. , is to return to face the main force of Ruila Army!"

Yao Sen paused, took a deep breath, and said, "I believe everyone has heard by now that the east and west armies have been launched. Prime Minister Wu Ya's Western Army has even reached the front line of the Wuduya Kingdom. In other words, we are no longer fighting alone, so our choices are different. If we continue to attack the capital of Rila, we will have to have two sides. In preparation for the battle, even I cannot say that we are absolutely sure that we will be able to capture the capital of Rila. If we choose to turn around and attack Rila's main force, there are only 50,000 people in Rila's main force. We will not be without the strength to fight. Drag the main force of the Western Army into Ruila, let alone the capital of Ruila, even the entire Ruila belongs to us!"

"Sir! I don't understand many truths, but I know one thing. You can't let go of the prey you've bitten." A captain of the auxiliary army with a scar on his face took an excited step forward and said with his head held high. "Although the number of servants obtained is different from what was expected, I heard that the number of servants left behind in the royal capital of Rilla The strength is only five thousand. If this information is true, then this number is enough! Even if there are Rila Qingqi coming from behind, we can still use this acropolis to block it for three or four days! , Even if King Ruila has an iron wall, we can still melt it!"

"As for the domestic army..."

The voice of the auxiliary army commander paused, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the other people who were silent. He made up his mind and curled his lips slightly. "Although this subordinate is from Huanlang, one of the great Hungarian clans. Clan, but if you can be sent to serve in the auxiliary army, you will naturally get along very well. You will never have the chance to become a member of the auxiliary army in this life. As a member of the main family, the so-called auxiliary army commander is nothing more than a higher-level cannon fodder for filling the city. It makes sense to ask his subordinates to fight to the death against Rila's main force and wait for those guys from the main family to take advantage. , I’m not convinced either! This wealth, this achievement was gained by us at the risk of death, why should we give it to them!”

"If no one is willing to stay and stop the Rila army, then I, Haza, will lead my headquarters to do it. No matter what, I will fight to the death to give you four days, but I want the spoils obtained from capturing the Rila capital. One-tenth!”

"One-tenth, Haza, you are crazy about money,"

"Yes, why should I give you a tenth of it? I fought so hard to capture it. Why... I won't do it, absolutely not!" The words of the commander of the auxiliary army were like a drop of water falling into boiling oil. Immediately, the expressions of more than a dozen auxiliary army commanders became excited. Everyone was risking their lives this time, running The countless wealth from the capital of Rila, Haza would bite off a tenth of it just because he wanted to. Who is willing to do it? Although it is a hard job to stay in the way, the main force of Rila is still three or four days away, so the speed There won't be many fast forward cavalry. This job looks dangerous, but in fact it's just a near miss.

"Don't do it? Who will stop the Rila people!"

The commander of the auxiliary army with a scar on his face glared, showed his white teeth, looked at everyone fiercely and said, "We ran from the border into Rila, fought at the ferry to gain hope of survival, and then risked huge Danger, with 20,000 remnant troops boldly attacking the royal capital of Ruila, it created such a stormy situation. Now the Hungarian Spanish army is coming, you all listen By the way, Prime Minister Wu Ya is leading the Western Army. The people in the Western Army are from the wealthy families in the capital of Hungary. These wealthy families are famous for being stingy and greedy. Prime Minister Wu Ya wants to become the new King of Hungary. , must protect these big families, we people are dispensable to him. If we really wait until the Prime Minister's Western Army enters Ruila, what benefits will it bring to us? "

"I'm afraid that you will all stand aside by then. You guys are similar to me in terms of status. If you return to Hungary, you will be just a low-level nobleman who will never be able to change your life. Now you have such wealth and glory. In front of me, whoever wants to stay will give him half of my share!"

"I don't want your half, but you don't want mine either!" At that moment, other captains jumped out and shouted.

"Yes, there is no such rule in the ancient Hungarian calendar!" The other captains immediately agreed, "Only the siegeers are eligible to get the spoils of war. You don't even have the siege. Why do you want the spoils of war? We will fight hard to get the spoils." How many men were lost, how much blood was shed, and maybe even lives were lost there, and you still want a share of the spoils? "

Others spoke sarcastically to him, "Haza. With your virtues, do you deserve to be called the Hungarian Eagle? You are a person who came back from the land of your ancestors. Everyone is working hard, but you are here." Fight hard, we are fighting hard in King Ruila. Come on, even though I am still injured, I can hold you down first!"

"Asshole, I'll beat three guys like you with one hand!" The commander named Haza pulled out the long knife from his waist with a swipe and forced himself towards the contemptuous companion. Prepare to duel in the tent

Yao Sen's face was livid and he shouted, "Okay, don't fight anymore, let Haza's troops stay, and one-tenth of everyone's gains will belong to him! King Rila's capital is so big. Let me go, let you go." Take it, how much can you take! What we want is the whole Rila. You don't want the Western Army to interfere and want to take it all. You don't want to think about it, without the approval of the Prime Minister's Office, your belongings can be transported back to Hungary. ?"

"this!"

The bodies of a dozen captains trembled slightly and they looked at each other. His face was ashen, yes, there was no approval from the Chancellor's Office. Even if these belongings are taken back, they cannot be kept! They had no choice but to return home. The Prime Minister's Mansion was in charge of the kingdom's internal affairs and finance. It was too huge for them. For low-level nobles like them, the Prime Minister's black teeth could crush a piece of them with one finger! I can’t afford to offend the Prime Minister’s Office, but I don’t want to give up the treasure. What should I do?

"Stupid! Although wealth is good, what's the use if you don't have life to enjoy it!"

Yao Sen looked at the captains and took a deep breath. They had been together for so long and shared life and death. There was less difference in status and more sincerity. He didn't want to watch these low-level captains recover from the desperate situation. They fought their way out, but in the end their lost wealth was taken away, and they were still in a miserable state of death. Moreover, if they really wanted to capture the capital of Ruila, these captains would be indispensable to supervise the battle.

He smiled slightly and said to everyone, "The King of Hungary is dead. Currently, the most likely new king in Hungary is Prime Minister Wu Ya. For this national war, the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion is completely empty. If you I will dedicate my achievements in capturing the capital of Rayla and the wealth gained. If you give it to the Prime Minister, Wu Ya will be very happy. By then, if your identity is not just a word from the Prime Minister, it will not be difficult to enter the Prime Minister's Palace! Why do you need to struggle with the tenth of the wealth anyway! What’s the difference if you want to give it to the Prime Minister!”

"In this way, we will fight to the death to capture the capital of Ruila and win this rich future!" The captains were refreshed and their eyes lit up. If this can climb the big tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion, exchange wealth for status and power. It’s worth it too! It’s not in vain to fight to the death like this!

"Then go down and prepare. Now there is only one more day of delay, and there will be more danger! Start the camp at five o'clock and attack the city at six o'clock!" Yao Sen waved his hand, and the captains nodded and left. In the dark night, a large number of Hungarians The Yamen drove out from the main camp, and the tens of thousands of slaves and servants outside were forcibly expelled, and tens of thousands of slaves with simple weapons were pushed forward.

‘If you don’t want to die, move forward, if you don’t want to die, move backward and kill! '

The Hungarian cavalry followed closely behind. Whenever they saw those lagging behind, they would immediately shoot them down with an arrow. In the dark night, the torches illuminated the city wall in the distance. Under the blood-stained swords of the Hungarians, the Rila people seemed to be in darkness. The rolling waves and the black heads began to squirm. These Ruila people raised their heads and looked at the several ditches and solid city walls in front of them with hesitant and helpless eyes. Never, never shoot arrows! The slaves crawled across the first outer trench in fear. Those who were close could see the cold light of arrows flashing on the wall, which seemed to be the effect of their prayers.

There was silence on the opposite city wall, and the defenders above just watched them, seemingly hesitant.

"What are you doing, not shooting arrows!" Officer Rilla above shouted angrily, but archers, look at me, I look at you, the bow string in your hand is barely pulled open, but the hand holding the bow handle is trembling,

If there were Hungarians below, they would have fired the arrows long ago, but below were their own compatriots, and even their own relatives, how could they release the arrows! After this hesitation, the slaves below seemed to see a glimmer of hope and speed up. Especially the slaves at the front who were holding siege ladders were ready to be cannon fodder, but found that the other party hesitated, and the despair turned into a wave of despair. Rage,

"If you don't want to die, just rush up!" Dozens of crude long ladders were leaning against the fortress. Each ladder foot was held down by more than a dozen Rilla slaves to prevent the defenders above from pushing the crude ladder down. Those of the slaves were relatively the bravest, or they had been tortured for days. Today, they were driven into battle by the Hungarians. They were numb with casualties and excitement, and the crowd climbed up the ladder. Either with bare hands, or with a sharpened stick, without any protection, desperately climbing up, looking like crazy! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
