Realm of Power

At noon on August 17, the southern coast of Feishan. At noon, the sun cannot shine in, and a gloomy chill envelopes the woods. The wind blows the dark clouds, and the atmosphere in the sky changes rapidly. The wind blows through the woods, causing a roar. In the woods where the temporary headquarters is set up, Fatty Received the battle results report from the river from an ordering soldier. The light swept over and shone slightly. Hu Keqili had done a good job. Fei Shan's Seventh Army and Eighth Army had been completely wiped out in the river. The Ninth Army had lost one-third of its troops and all its supplies. Fleeing towards the coast, the southern coast of Feishan is not big or small.

Of the 100,000 emperors, 30,000 were sent to Triland Island to assist the naval operations, and 30,000 were taken away by Hu Keqili. Now the power in the hands of the fat man is full, and there are only 33,000 infantry and 2,500 cavalry. With such a force, it is impossible to fully control the coastal area. According to Fatty's judgment, the Ninth Army was frightened in the river and must not dare to attack. If we retreat along the road we came from, there are only two things in front of Fei Shan's Ninth Army. One section is to climb over the steep and towering Bailanlin Snow Mountain. This is for Fei Shan's Ninth Army, which has abandoned almost all its luggage. , and there is another one that crosses this forest area that is fifty or sixty miles long and wide. Obviously, walking through the forest is the best terrain for concealment.

"Attention, all troops, from now on, everyone must be alert!" The fat man put down the report in his hand, raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes flickered, and in a solemn tone, he ordered the cavalry behind him that the time is up. In the afternoon, w≮ww. At two o'clock in the afternoon, a scout galloping over on horseback reported, "Your Majesty, he is here!" "He is finally here."

Everyone got excited and ran to the grass at the edge of the woods, hiding and lying on the grass to watch. Viewed from a distance, Feishan's defeated ninth army came in scattered columns along the trail. The column was slightly denser and continued to move forward after crossing a red soil ditch in a panic. No officers came out to maintain the line, and the procession passed in large groups. The soldiers were so frightened that their weapons and flags were discarded on the ground. After the route of the defeated army passed by, there was silence. The grass in the distance was swaying in the wind, and the wind blew by. Thirty minutes later, the faint noise of soldiers and horses came from the east.

"That's right, it's the main force of the Ninth Army!"

The fat man heard the voice of a general in his ear, and saw a tidal red sea of ​​people in front of him, and he could see clearly. The flying flags and colorful feathers on the heads of Feishan soldiers are the symbols of their officers. At the head of the column, the column was very disordered, with cavalry and infantry advancing together. You can hear the chaotic and piercing noise of Fei Shan's Ninth Army, like a flock of sparrows scurrying out of a cage, forming a single-line formation for a rapid march. It seems that Fei Shan's Ninth Army also knows very well that they can do it themselves. easy. But it was not that easy to leave. The queue gradually slowed down. In front of the forest, two high mounds appeared overlooking the forest. The commander probably also felt that this terrain revealed a dangerous "tread".

The sound of horse hooves sounded below. A dozen cavalrymen were separated from the Feishan people's team. They rode towards the highlands on both sides. They must have been scouts sent to scout the highlands on both sides. The fat man frowned. If that's the case, he must start in advance, at this time. An astonishing commotion suddenly broke out in the ranks of Fei Shan's army. Unexpectedly, Fei Shan's army that stopped continued to advance, and the speed increased, and the scout cavalry sent out also quickly turned around. From a distance, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief. It should be that the nearby imperial scout cavalry was deliberately discovered by Fei Shan's Ninth Army. How could Fei Shan's army, which has become a frightened bird, dare to stay here for too long? "My lord, the hunter was found behind our army. The scouts of the Eagle Empire must speed up! "After receiving the report, Rousseau, commander of Feishan's Ninth Army, looked ugly and felt a chill in his heart. How could the Imperial Cavalry be so fast! Have the Seventh and Eighth Legions been completely destroyed? , fled all the way from the direction of the river. The tens of thousands of troops were already exhausted. The news that the imperial scouts were found in the rear spread throughout the Ninth Army almost instantly, "Quick, run fast."

Fei Shan's soldiers rushed forward. Different from the loose and scattered situation just now, this time it was like a shot of chicken blood. Everyone was brave because now they were racing against their own companions. Feishan's soldiers have only one thought in their minds now, hurry! quick! quick! If you are faster than your companions, the enemy's cavalry will catch up with you, "Hurry up, don't block the way!"

Chaos spread quickly like ripples of water. The officer waved his whip to drive away the infantry in front of him. The ground stepped on by the horse's hooves splashed mud and water. Everyone ran forward like crazy, moving forward wildly and disorderly. , no one stopped this fanatical chaos. The troops behind were frightened and rushed up in a chaotic manner. The imperial cavalry was right behind. Who dared to wait slowly behind?

When the middle section of the Ninth Army entered the intersection between two mounds, a long bugle sounded, and in an instant, countless figures suddenly appeared from the sage-covered highlands to the south, shining in the sun. The cold light of the arrow clusters fell like raindrops violently on the heads of Fei Shan's ninth army. The specially processed triangular arrows pierced into the thin armor of Fei Shan's soldiers like a violent storm with a whistling sound." ah"

Blood splattered everywhere and screams continued. "There is an ambush." ​​Arrow clusters whizzed in from the Feishan queue like headless flies, densely inserting into the flesh and blood bodies inside. The arrow clusters brought up blood flowers, Feishan's soldiers were like grass growing in a wheat field, quickly harvested by terrifying clusters of arrows. The situation was too chaotic, and most of Feishan's soldiers The Shan soldiers were frightened, and everyone was looking for self-protection. They still obeyed the orders from the officers. On the two mounds, 20,000 Falcon crossbow shooters were densely packed like sprouts growing along the mounds. In the dense forest, draw the bow string, load the arrow, and shoot. The arrow cluster flashes out with the mist in the forest, "Long live the Falcon Empire!"

The thick shouts from the broad chests of the Falcon Empire's heavy infantry resounded throughout the mountains, and countless heavily armored Imperial infantry launched a charge. Twenty lines of skirmishers rushed down from the mountain condescendingly toward Fei Shan's Ninth Army, which was already in chaos below. Fei Shan's Ninth Army was running around in all directions. The officers shouted loudly, "Formation! Formation! Formation!" Formation!" But in such chaos, it is not easy to organize an effective defense system. The soldiers are running around dizzy, the officers are shouting at the top of their lungs, and the horses are kicking their hooves impatiently and running feverishly. Knock down the cavalry from above,

The intact group of archers was hurriedly moved to the front. Before they could draw their bowstrings, the imperial heavy infantry spearmen rushing at the front were already approaching! Raising their voices and exhaling, the imperial heavy infantry spearmen threw their javelins together. The rain of javelins fell into the dense crowd in front of Fei Shan with terrifying force, bringing out a burst of terrifying screams. Under the throwing spears, there was a pool of blood. The heavy infantrymen who threw the javelins drew out their melee two-handed weapons. Ax, these heavy infantry are Nords. As the strongest melee infantry recognized by the Ikadiva continent, it can compete with the heavy armored arms of Ruidian heavy cavalry for hundreds of years.

The Nord heavy infantry's attack tactics have already formed a very complete system. When the first group of heavy infantry attacked, behind them, the second row of imperial infantry began to throw javelins to cover the charge of the first group of heavy infantry. Then, the third row, the fourth row... Like rolling waves, dense javelins continued to attack in rows. Like raindrops of sharp arrows falling from the top of his head one after another. Fei Shan's Ninth Army was on its back, with blood flowing. It was caught off guard. Fei Shan's Ninth Army suffered a big loss in the first encounter in the close battle. Just watching helplessly, the terrifying Imperial heavy infantry rushed forward with almost no damage, "Stop them!"

While marching, he was caught off guard and suddenly encountered an enemy. Fei Shan's army was in chaos. Before they could form a phalanx for defense, the horrifying cry was already close to their ears.

"kill!"

The attack line formed by the imperial heavy infantry was like a turbulent human wave, charging head-on into Fei Shan's army. Stirring up a terrifying fight, followed by a second wave, and a third wave... Feishan's spearmen pierced the armor of the heavy infantry rushing at the front, but the imperial heavy infantry roared wildly and blocked the spears with their bodies. , in the desperate cry of the Feishan spearman, the Nord battle ax in the hands of the imperial heavy infantry smashed him like a door panel His head was smashed to pieces, the scene was cruel and tragic, with battle axes waving all over the sky, the metal light of the weapons shining in the sun, hot blood spraying, the fallen soldiers screaming, and the injured horses lying on the ground neighing in panic. , chaotic footsteps moving in a hurry, "Order the Seventh Army of the Southwest District to start attacking!"

The fat man looked at the battlefield and waved his hands. In an instant, a group of imperial infantry rushed out from the dense forest behind Feishan's Ninth Army and pounced on the back of Feishan's Ninth Army. Fighting in dense forests was not an easy task for the emperor. If it was in a plain area, , the empire's thunder gods and incendiary bombs were enough to collapse Feishan's ninth army, but in the dense forest, thunder gods and incendiary bombs were banned. Stop, because once the forest is ignited, not only Fei Shan's ninth army will die, but also the emperor will pay a heavy price. Therefore, he can only blame the most intense melee breakthrough. For this reason, Fatty specially sent as many as five thousand Nuo The German heavy infantry served as the spearhead of the attack. On both sides of the road, there was an Imperial Flag Regiment of 5,000 men on each side.

"Turn around, the enemy is behind!" Fei Shan's army was completely confused. The officer shouted sternly. The queue in the middle that had not yet been engaged was swaying back and forth. The soldiers turned back hesitantly, looking in front and behind, in a panic. The ground turned the spear back and forth. The dense formation of spears stretching forward kept turning around in a hurry. Before they were ready, a terrifying cry tore through the space. "Cavalry, there are Imperial Cavalry on the side!"

At one end of the dense forest, two thousand Guards Cavalry were coming towards this side quickly. Their horses' hooves were thundering, and rows of spears were rushing towards them like a metal tide. They had already pounced on the flank of Fei Shan's army, and a barrage of spears was coming. Like snow and dazzling, Fei Shan's soldiers were rushed away by their horses before they could react. They discarded their armor and hurriedly flashed to both sides.

"No, we can't hold it anymore!" Fei Shan's Ninth Army was crying in front of them. The front army had been torn open several times by the imperial heavy infantry. The defeated soldiers fled back from the front like a flood gap. Everyone Their helmets and armor were thrown away, and there was a chaos. The officer could not find his subordinates, and the subordinates could not find the officer. They shouted in confusion,

The heavy infantry of the Empire, wearing hideous heavy armor, chased closely behind the fleeing soldiers. The blood-stained battle axes kept falling, bringing up streams of blood, making these heavy infantry of the Empire look like man-eating devils. Wherever they went, Feishan soldiers were drowned in terrible pools of blood. All the fleeing soldiers who fled in other directions were beaten back by the Emperor. "Sir, there are enemies everywhere, and our army has no hope of breaking through!" A Feishan general came to Rousseau, whose face was ashen, with a pale face. "It's over, everything is over!" Rousseau stood there in a daze, staring blankly at this miserable scene, his hands and feet were cold. In just one day, the more than 100,000 elite troops that the Feishan Kingdom had invested in the coastal area were overthrown. How could this war be fought like this! Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered by the enemy like lambs, and watching the army he had painstakingly planned being defeated, in an instant, Rousseau only had two words in his mind: "despair."
