Realm of Power

In the early summer of May, the beautiful flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains cannot cover up the atmosphere before the war.

In the starlight of the black night, King Rila Oweitema, who took over the reins of the war horse from his attendant, glanced at the fat man who was seeing him off and Princess Bala next to him. The expression on his face was somewhat resolute. There is also concern from a loving father. For King Ovit of Rila who urgently needs to return, this time The crisis was more severe than when the royal capital was breached that day. The breach of the royal capital was only a short-lived pain. The plundering of the remaining Hungarian army caused turmoil in the north of Rila, but it only took time to bridge it. But this This time, Hungary's 300,000-strong army from east to west surrounded Rila, and the entire situation became clear at once.

Either Rila will be destroyed, or the Hungarian army will be destroyed in the land of Rila. This is a deadly battle, without any possibility of buffering. Once it starts, either the enemy will be crushed or he will be crushed by the enemy. The geographical location of the Kingdom of Rila has determined this. A war is inevitable, no matter whether the Falcon Empire wants to threaten Is it the case that the whole of China and Europe will rise, or will the Hungarians, who have endured for hundreds of years, rise, Rila is the life and death line in the eyes of both parties. After seeing through all this, when the whole of Rila is facing a crisis of survival and death, he and the Falcon Empire will have to fight because of China and Europe. The differences and frictions between Luo Hegemony and poor students seem insignificant.

"Although Rila's vitality is greatly damaged, with the strength of the whole country, there are still tens of thousands of men who dare to fight. If the Huns want to conquer Rila, they must first step over the corpses of Rila people!" King O of Rila Witte firmly expressed his determination to fight to the death with the Hungarians to the fat man who was seeing him off, saying that this When he returns the next time, he will prepare for war with all his strength. In view of this situation, he took the initiative to ask Fatty: "The imperial troops should enter the southern part of Rila in advance to deploy defenses and seize the strategic center. You and I, one in the south and one in the north, can send liaison personnel to form a strong Unified command joint base camp"

"Okay, I will immediately give the order to the frontline troops. First transfer 30 to 40,000 troops to the south of Rila!"

The fat man nodded in agreement and said, "Rilla and the Falcon Empire share weal and woe in this battle. We live and die together. Rilla is preparing for war across the country, and the empire will fully support it. In terms of weapons and ordnance, I can order the front line to hand over all the captured coalition weapons to you." , Rila lacks strategic depth, and once a war breaks out in the southern region, there will inevitably be a large number of refugees. What the Hungarian army is best at is coercing captured people. The refugees fill the city. I can order the border to be completely opened. Your Majesty, it is best to temporarily evacuate the population in the southern area into the empire. Most of the supplies of the Hungarian army of 300,000 people rely on local plundering. Let go of southern Ruilan and clear the country. , as long as they can be held back, the number of Hungarians will overwhelm them as time goes by. Their number is their biggest advantage, but it is also their biggest disadvantage!

"Your Majesty Falcon, you are... Thank you so much!" King Owitt of Rilla looked excited. Unexpectedly, Fatty was willing to let go of the border and even allowed millions of people from southern Rila to enter the empire. This unabashed sincerity made his eyes swell with moisture. It is true that danger reveals the heart of the people. In the face of the Hungarian flames, the Barrow countries in Central Europe wisely protected themselves. His old allies, Silas and Wallis, both chose to rebel, waiting to stab him in the back. Only this young emperor, whom they had only met for a few days, was so sincere and touching.

Not only was there no fear or conspiracy as there should have been, but they simply agreed to send weapons and allow people from the south of Rila to move into the country. These two items alone were a timely help to Rila, who was currently in crisis. The Kingdom of Rila It is just a medium-sized kingdom, with a population of about three million in the southern region. Once such a large number of people enter the vast wilderness of the Falcon Empire, it will also be a big burden for the Falcon Empire. Perhaps most likely, because of the establishment of the alliance between the empire and Rila, these Rila people who enter the empire area The newly reclaimed land on the border basically belongs to the Ruila people.

King Ruila didn't believe that Fatty couldn't see this, but Fatty still offered to let go of the boundaries without hesitation. This is the heart of a true king. No wonder he can conquer the world at such an age. King Ruila sighed inwardly, got on his horse, and faced Fatty. He said loudly, "Your Majesty Falcon, as long as there are still Rila warriors who keep fighting, the souls of Rila people will never fade away! I look forward to the day of victory, and we will meet again under the battle flag!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The fat man was filled with emotion. He watched King Ruila's figure blend into the moonlight in the distance, and finally turned into an imperceptible black dot. Then the fat man turned around and had Princess Bara, who was in tears, sent to Sol. As for the auction of the castle villa where Kutustelan is located, it had to be ended early because of the discredit of Palanrega. The much-anticipated Gangfei Crown was not sold in the end, and all the forces in Gangfei came back defeated. Although no one took a photo of the crown, the Mao Dun in the central and local areas of the Gangfei Kingdom was fully exposed, and Palanrega stepped down. It is a big shock to the business alliance, but to the empire and the current war situation, it is just a drift that is not even a wave.

"There is no suspense about the empire controlling Central Europe Barrow, but the premise is that it can win this battle!"

The fat man stood on the city wall and raised his head to look at the bright stars above his head. The summer wind in early May had already felt a bit like the heat of summer. Ever since the fall of Gaul, he had not felt this way before the war for a long time. , if this battle is won, the imperial power will completely expand to the entire Central Europe Barrow, and relied on this influence to maintain the empire's strength against the eastern Istanbuls, making this close enemy completely give up the idea of ​​​​moving westward. The focus of this battle lies in Rila. As the fat man just said to King Rila, the Hungarians The number of tooth people is astonishing. No matter how they are arranged, they must be resisted first.

Although the Hungarian army is not necessarily elite, there are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 truly capable troops. The empire has never been afraid of contending with cavalry groups since it raised its troops, but once the Hungarians are allowed to adopt the tactics of gathering sand to form a tower to push the southern part of Rila If millions of people come to cover you, then it means that the empire is on the side It would be quite difficult to have 200,000 elites in the world. Let Ruila evacuate the southern population into the empire. With this in mind, the southern part of Ruila has become the most brutal battlefield responsible for blocking the Hungarian advance in this war. Falcon The Empire, the Kingdom of Ruela, and the Kingdom of Hungary, the three forces will fight to the death here!

In late May, after learning that the iron ore purchased from the Falcon Empire had been seized, the Hungarian Army Prime Minister Baidurasu finally stopped hiding. The Hungarian Eastern Army suddenly appeared in the south of Rila in a jaw-dropping manner. Rilla once again became the eye of the storm in the entire war. For this life-and-death battle, King Rilla, whose kingdom's finances were already riddled with holes, issued a national mobilization order after receiving aid from the Falcon Empire of five million gold coins. On the basis of the 7,000 Riela prisoners released from the Falcon Empire, on the basis of the original 55,000 troops, about 73,000 troops were mobilized from various regions to go to the Western Front to block The main force of the Hungarian Spanish army may respond to the Eastern Army at any time.

In the south of Rila, although King Rila issued an order to migrate. But how can millions of people migrate in just half a month? As the flag regiment of Reposti of the Central Army who was the first to enter by the Falcon Emperor, Reposti pulled his horse fiercely in the morning light to a point he will never forget. The scene: the endless flow of people as far as the eye can see is like a long dragon, rolling in from the west and heading east. Everyone knew that the ferocious Huns were coming, and the only way to survive was to go west and enter the Falcon Empire. Someone was driving a carriage loaded with large and small boxes. Some people were panting and carrying all their belongings, some were carrying nothing, a poor old man was staggering while driving two sheep; a woman was holding a child in one hand and carrying heavy luggage in the other. Tramping on the ground, falling. The child was crying in her arms, and the mother was sobbing. People kept passing by, but no one reached out to help.

The deep suffering of the war has made people's hearts selfish and numb, and everyone's eyes show confusion and sluggishness: they have lost their home and their land. What will the future be like after losing a loved one?

The situation in southern Rila is not optimistic. Although the Hungarian Eastern Army has not yet launched a large-scale offensive, the unseen enemy is the most terrifying. The Rila soldiers on the front line have been required to eat and sleep on the city wall. The officers were even asked to stick to the defense line, with the Rila battle flag flying in the wind in the face of emergency. This is to confuse the Hungarians on the opposite side in a short period of time. The Hungarian cavalry rangers appear from time to time, walking along the several-mile-long fortress wall of the Rila people. From time to time they stop and point, and the opposite side is full of people. It was the fluttering Rila battle flag that was blown by the wind and made a snapping sound in the air, showing a bit of sadness and tragedy.

"Escape one person, kill all in the team!"

The strict and even perverted orders were conveyed with the serious and tense faces of the officers, which undoubtedly made the already tense and fatigued front-line combat soldiers complain. They were wearing armor and holding weapons in their arms, seemingly Soldiers who were standing guard but actually taking a nap with their heads leaning against the battlements were everywhere on the defense line.

The person in charge of the southern defense line is a general named Boaso from Rilla. He is in his forties, has slightly white hair, and has sharp eyes. He can make the air around him freeze when he stands there. A man known for his hard work and self-severity, his habits were known to the Rila military community. His eyes are as red as a rabbit, but he still insists on patrolling the entire defense line every night. There are not many generals in Rila. Even Marquis Fit, known as the military god of Rila, expressed his admiration for this general. He may not be an excellent commander. , but he is definitely the kind of general who can carry out the orders of his superiors and complete them meticulously. King Ruila also took a fancy to this point when he entrusted this important task to him.

It was only a matter of time before Rila's defense line was breached. The only difference was time. Boatho knew this very well from the moment he accepted the order. How to delay time, according to his understanding, it was two words, fight to the death! Only by fighting to the death can the Hungarians who are sharpening their swords on the opposite side feel the pressure from Rila, buy time for the southerners to move away, and allow the Falcon Empire's army to calmly deploy behind them, and achieve this effect. His bargaining chip is the 15,000 soldiers gathered on this defense line after all his efforts. These are the chips that he thinks can hold back the Hungarian horses.

Now that he was mentally prepared for the last moment, his stern character became more prominent. On the defensive line, he patrolled every day. You must know that even riding a horse, it would take more than an hour to go up the perimeter, let alone He also stopped from time to time to check the soldiers' weapons and carefully study the deployment situation. Such frequent movements made several people follow him at first. The officers patrolling behind them chose to pretend to be sick in the end to avoid it. However, this line of defense made it difficult for the Hungarian cavalry on the opposite side to figure out the real situation. The Rila people were waiting on the defensive wall and seemed to be full of fighting spirit at every moment. , at the same time, the Hungarians also discovered a reserve team of about four to five thousand spearmen behind them. It seemed that reinforcements were still arriving in a steady stream.

On May 26, the Hungarian Army Prime Minister Baidulasu arrived at the border. At the same time, he was followed by the elite cavalry of the Hungarian Army Prime Minister's Office, these cavalry riding sturdy war horses. The curved sword is slung on the waist, and the cavalry horse bow is carried behind the back. When running, the speed is like the falcon lightning flashing across the sky. The bold and violent style shows extremely superb horseback capabilities. Some bold Hungarian cavalry Even wandering around less than 120 meters away from the Ruila defense line,

They looked at the line of defense in front of them fiercely, and from time to time they made various dangerous provocations to attract the Rila archers to shoot arrows at them. If someone shoots at it, they will see the arrows flying for a period of time before landing lightly in front of their horses. The Hungarians let out a very proud laugh, and then used the strong bow on their horseback to Aiming in the direction of the defense line, after a bowstring vibrated, the Ruila soldiers would move to the next one.

"It's the Wolf Bow Guard of the Hungarian Army Prime Minister's Mansion." Boaso said with a frown, his face turned a little blue, and the expressions of the other generals behind him became unusually solemn. All of Central Europe Barrow knows it. Generally, the range of the Central European Barrow infantry archers is only seventy or eighty meters. The Hungarian cavalry, with their strong bows on horseback and unique archery skills, can shoot about a hundred meters of damage, but the most elite Hungarian archers are Hungarian archers. The wolf bow guards of the Military Prime Minister's Mansion. Each wolf archer is a marksman among the Hungarians, with a shooting range of up to a frightening 120 meters.

Fortunately, the number of these wolf archers is wrong. There are only about 3,000 people in Hungary. But the Huns, who are not good at siege, have weapons like fire in their hands, capable of defeating countless enemies, and are good at long-range sniping. One hundred and twenty meters, which is a full 34 meters longer than an ordinary infantry bow. The arrow is dead, and it is the nightmare of all enemy officers.

The appearance of the wolf bow guards showed that the main force of the Hungarian military commander was not far from the defense line. Although Boaso intuitively felt that the Hungarian cavalry would not attack head-on, he did not dare to be 100% sure. Fortunately, in order to fight against the Hungarians' fastest and fiercest horse archers, he had already ordered people to erect a whole row of tall wooden rafts on the defense line. Even if the Hungarians launched the sharpest arrow rain, most of them would be blocked.

What gave him the biggest headache was not the Hungarian horse archers, but the Hungarian heavy armored soldiers. This kind of formation-breaking soldier who looked like an iron barrel from head to toe was the Hungarian's trump card in field battles. Fiery fire is as immovable as a mountain, to put it bluntly, to the enemies of the Hungarians. These heavy armored soldiers are simply nightmare-like existences. Her 15,000 soldiers seem to be okay, and the training is considered strict on weekdays, but the equipment is still not more light infantry. The number of real heavy infantry is less than 3,000, and they have all been arranged by her. On the first line, the lower end of the heavy siege tower shield was buried deeply. Buried in the ground, behind are infantrymen holding spears, with only a cross left on the helmets on their heads. If the Hungarian cavalry on the opposite side really hits them, even if they are smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to shake this line of defense, but if the Hungarian cavalry is allowed to When the heavy armored soldiers rush forward, the entire defense line will be broken.

On the hillside opposite the Rila people, the Hungarian military minister Baidu Lasu was taking a rough look at the situation of the Rila people opposite. The eyebrows were slightly furrowed. When did the Rila people dare to fight in front of Hungary and dominate the field? The opponent's defense line seemed to be strong but actually exposed the weaknesses on both sides. This was the Rila people's always flashy performance.

A seasoned defender should hide his strength as much as possible and never let his opponent know his trump card until the last moment. Only in this way can he drain every ounce of the enemy's strength. However, the Rilla people on the opposite side, I just want to use all my strength. With such a dense defensive formation, even if there are wooden rafts blocking the front, can it still block the two sides? Military Prime Minister Baidu Lhasu smiled coldly. He had experienced hundreds of battles in his life, so he naturally knew how to use the cavalry flanking tactic to collapse the enemy's infantry formation. Although the infantry formation was strong, its shortcomings were also very obvious.

That is clumsy, difficult to turn, and will collapse once it encounters a side sweep. Although the infantry formation is accompanied by infantry archers, these infantry archers will be brutally killed when faced with the longer range of the Hungarian archers.

"How long will it take for Silas's troops to arrive!" Military Prime Minister Baidulasu turned his head and asked the adjutant behind him. This attack was the first joint attack between Hungary and Silas. The Hungarians were responsible for long-range support. Silas infantry is responsible for close combat attacks.

"According to the report, Silas's army is still fifteen miles away from here!" the adjutant said respectfully behind him.

"Order all the troops to gather here. Before the Silas arrive, we will attack first!" Military Prime Minister Baidurasu looked at the Ruila defense line in the distance with a grim face. The vanguard of the Hungarians arrived here. There were about 20,000 troops, and he was divided into six teams for sweeping. He was a little surprised that the Ruila people here did not run away, but instead held this defense line. In addition to the trenches, there were several rows of barricades tied with trees. The number of Ruila people was not large, but the density was very difficult to deal with. In the distance, you can see the fluttering Ruila flags, which looks like there are more troops gathering behind. I don't know how much effort the Ruila people spent to put together such a large force. However, the Ruila people's self-made solid defense line also made him feel funny.
