Realm of Power

The fat man saw King Fei Shan's army flag appearing about a kilometer in front of the fortress, followed by a burst of rapid horn blasts that tore through the cold wind before night fell, and the prepared Fei Shan army team began to line up. The densely packed spears are like patches of steel jungle with cold light emerging from the snow-white land.

Naturally, it is impossible for Fei Shan's army of 300,000 to be spread out on this line. However, according to what we can see visually, there are still more than 100,000 people spread out at the front, and the equipment can still be seen. , both light and heavy armors, the weapons are all standard weapons of the regular army, and there are also a small number of mobile light cavalry pressing in the direction close to the frozen lake.

The rest of Fei Shan's army should have stayed behind as a reserve force. This is the correct arrangement. If he had three times the superior strength, he would not swarm all the troops up and face the sudden appearance. It would be a fool's errand to deploy all the troops in the three large fortresses in one go. Only by sending them in turns can they open a gap in the solid defense line as quickly as possible.

"Send an order to the whole army. The Feishan people should be attacking the city overnight. Let everyone pay attention!" The fat man withdrew his eyes from the flying Feishan army flag in the distance and ordered behind him. There was no tension on his face, but a touch of relaxation. King Shan is a The old fox is thoughtful and likes to do things while waiting for work. He is afraid that King Feishan will do what he did to Thoradin I. After learning about the existence of the three fortresses, he immediately ordered the 300,000 troops that had been deployed to withdraw again. turtle,

However, as more and more Fei Shan's troops entered the battlefield, this possibility became increasingly slim. When he saw Fei Shan's army's formation flag appear, Fatty knew that the opponent had taken the bait. At this time, The opponent has no way out, because if Fei Shan's soldiers see that the kingdom's upper echelons have three times the number of troops, they will be frightened and retreat, which will be the most fatal blow to Fei Shan's military morale. In this kind of battle that determines the destiny of the country, King Feishan does not dare to take such risks because King Feishan is old.

No matter how daring a person is when he is young, he will have a common problem when he is old. He is very demanding in doing things. If there is a hint of danger, he will choose to take a look first. Such a mentality is destined that King Feishan will not choose to do it at this time. Retreat.

Otherwise, once a commotion breaks out, you will be putting yourself under the knife of the Falcon Emperor. Since you will not evacuate, you will attack by force! This is what Fatty decided. In fact, faced with the huge gap in military strength, as the three ice city fortresses were completed in just a few days, it no longer seemed very important.

The Feishan people didn't know that they had wasted their last chance to fight, if the other party noticed that the scouts were abnormal in those few days. He ordered the entire army to kill them at all costs, and the only thing he could do was to leave a rear army behind, and then immediately lead the main force of the army closer to the coast, because there were still 30,000 Northland soldiers there. At the same time, you can get support from the Imperial Navy at the closest distance, but the opponent obviously doesn't have the courage. It's too late to come now!

Now that all the chips are on Bavaria. Then just keep them all!

To say that the biggest gain of the Falcon Emperor in the Bavaria region for more than a month is that it has accumulated a large amount of combat supplies. The Emperor is in charge of Warri, the governor of the southern part of the Empire who controls the largest foreign trade area in the empire. Sean. There are also Bertrand Bonnie of the Northern Army of Congo who controls the entire Central European Barro trade route, and the Imperial Guards. In order to maintain strong suppression of Feishan's army, what the two of them did invariably was to send a steady stream of generals. War supplies continue to arrive,

They all thought that once the attack order was issued, he would be the first to tear apart Feishan's army's defense line. As the commander of such a large army, Varisien had already obtained the right to distribute weapons from Fatty. The base camp of the Imperial Navy was just now. Non-southern, Varisian’s view of naval weapons Ku has long been salivating. To say that the heavy weapons in the Imperial Regiment are the largest, it must be the naval arsenal of the Navy Department. The army is equipped with heavy ballistas and Thors based on ten, and the navy is based on five. After ten calculations, one Dragon Teeth battleship is the fifty-door thunder god! There were also a total of eight heavy ballistas at the front and rear to suppress the opponent's approach to the ship.

With the authorization from His Majesty the Emperor, Varisian led the people to open the door of the Admiralty Arsenal. Rows of well-maintained Imperial heavy ballistae vehicles and dimly glowing Imperial Navy Thors took Varisien's breath away. Almost stopped,

The long convoy of horse-drawn carriages from the Congolese Southern Army has been transporting to the front line for more than a month. You can imagine the amount of stockpiles. Not to mention military supplies and other supplies, just take the heavy weapons from the naval arsenal as an example. , has reached an outrageous level,

There are 550 Imperial heavy crossbows for warships, more than 300 Imperial Navy Thors, and a huge number of Thor bombs. Varisian even did not miss various types of trebuchets. For Varisian , any weapon that can tear open the opponent's city wall must be taken away, because Varisien's initial battle plan was to break through the defense line of Feishan Army. Without heavy weapons, how could he break through the defense line of 300,000 Feishan Army? Now that His Majesty is relieved, how can Varisian be polite?

While the main force of the Imperial Navy is still fighting fiercely in Strand, Varisien can be said to have almost emptied the Imperial Navy's arsenal this time. He has already planned it. As long as His Majesty gives the order, he will use it. These various types of heavy weapons were concentrated on a city section at one go, breaking open a big hole first, and then leading everyone to rush up at once. As long as they can win, they will be investigated after the return of Navy Minister Dustelenko. Your Majesty holds it

But I didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly. I had prepared so many and had not yet had a chance to use them. The Central European Barro Allied Forces withdrew, and the cavalry from the East and West Courts also withdrew. It is not every time that I have the opportunity to use such a large number of heavy weapons. ah! The frustration in Varisien's heart was like a cat scratching his head. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't arrived, he would have withdrawn. Otherwise, if these heavy-duty murder weapons belonging to the highest level of the Imperial Army's industry fell into the hands of the Feishan people, what would happen to the Empire? The threat is too great! Such a large number is enough to raise Fei Shanjun's overall level to a higher level.

Now, these weapons are listed on the ice-like back wall. There are three large fortresses. Each fortress has nearly a hundred thunder gods. They are not the imperial heavy ballistas leaning on the crenellations of the ice wall. They are the opponent's The exclusive weapon of the enemy's heavy infantry, it can penetrate heavy armor at a distance of 150 meters just like playing. As for the trebuchet, His Majesty Falcon placed it in the fortress very despicably. His Majesty Falcon said that there are no good trees in this wasteland. The opponent would never have thought that there would be such a large number of trebuchets in the city, waiting for the opponent to hit them.

Looking at the black giant-like sling lever, Varisien felt excited from the bottom of his heart. Come on, come and die if you want!

"Woo"

The sound of bugles overhead penetrated the eardrums. King Feishan immediately took his position in the formation and looked at the three large frozen fortresses in front of him with bewilderment. It was as if he was playing tricks, but there were actually three fortresses! The old man's pupils shrank unconsciously, and his face was as old as grapefruit peel. He was so gloomy that he wanted to drop water. He originally thought that the so-called defense line of the Falcon Emperor would be an unprecedented miracle. Who would have thought that in just a few days, what he saw was Three large fortresses with complete defenses and deep ravines. How did the other party do it?

It was freezing cold without even realizing it. Why did I change from the defensive side to the offensive side?

King Feishan waved the hand holding the riding crop vigorously, snorted heavily with a very dissatisfied nose, glanced at the Marquis Mandy, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, whose eyes almost popped out, and asked in a cold voice, "Mr. Mandy Don’t you say you know everything about Bavaria? Then can you tell me that these three fortresses require countless manpower and material resources and cannot be completed without three or four years? Doesn’t it grow from the ground?”

Feeling the ferocious murderous intent from His Majesty the King's eyes, the back of Marquis Mandy, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was already wet with sweat, and he rolled to the ground from his horse. "I guarantee this on the honor of the Mandy family. This place used to be Absolutely nothing!”

"So you know nothing about this place?"

King Feishan's eyes became colder and colder. Marquis Mandy's face was as white as a piece of paper. The appearance of these three fortresses was incredible. As an experienced battlefield veteran, how could he not know about these three fortresses? The emergence of such a large fortress means something. It’s no wonder that His Majesty the King doesn’t give himself any face at all.

The battle situation that originally felt like a sure thing suddenly became uncertain.

A large army battle is not a culling and sneak attack. It is rare that a single collision determines the outcome. In this kind of battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, what the two sides compete for is the pressure of each queue, which is the gap in the large cluster. The repressive victory that tore apart the entire defense line allowed for dozens of miles of collapse and pursuit, hundreds of miles of land loss, and even the legendary speed of being able to attack the royal capital overnight. If there was no obstacle, In the wilderness, King Feishan had already ordered an attack

Our three times strength advantage is enough to suppress any opponent, even the Falcon Emperor. The opponent's stretched strength is a shortcoming that cannot be overcome. As long as a gap is opened, the Falcon Emperor will become like an unstoppable force. The barrels holding more wine also exploded,

Victory is within easy reach, Fei Shan's generals thought so too,

But now, everything has changed and become more difficult. These three fortresses are like a loud slap in the face of Fei Shan's entire army. No one knows what happened to the Falcon Emperor. Those who have achieved this, but the army has been pulled out, not to mention the three fortresses, even the mountains of swords and seas of fire can only move forward, but this time I don’t know if there will be a sea of ​​fire, but the iceberg is certain!

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer!"

General Fei Shan looked worriedly at the darkening sky and some soldiers who were whispering to each other, and said in a solemn voice, "The Falcon Emperor's ice fortress has begun to shake the soldiers' fighting spirit. If not, If an attack order is issued immediately, the subordinates will worry that by tomorrow, the main attacking corps will lose their spirit.

"That's true, but what should we use to attack the city? The army has just arrived, but there are almost no siege equipment. We can't let the soldiers climb up the ice wall!" Someone from General Fei Shan said angrily. Attacking the city at night is A very miserable thing, not only can't see the opponent's layout clearly at night, but also because the night in Bavaria is too cold. The armor is like steel thorns when worn on the body, and the howling cold wind is like a knife. For the soldiers, It's a kind of torture! The army is tired and ill-prepared. It is pointless to force the soldiers to attack the city at this time.

"What's meaningless! Our soldiers are wearing cold armor and can't bear to fight for a long time. Isn't it the Falcon Emperor?" The general who proposed the attack said with a red face. "In the same harsh environment, the side with stronger troops will inevitably Even more advantageous, as long as it is defeated, the opponent will disperse with a bang.

"On the contrary, having one more night is equivalent to giving the Falcon Emperor a sufficient time to set up one night, and it is easier for the army to pass through the ice trench under the cover of night. The Falcon Emperor is famous for its long-range weapons on the mainland. , If you can’t see clearly, why are you talking about long-range shooting?”

"Okay, don't argue. I have already decided. The attack will start tonight!"

King Feishan waved his hands seriously, with a wry smile on his lips, pointed at one of the generals Feishan and said, "Qing Paula is right, it is too dangerous to waste one night in vain. You must know that this Falcon Emperor* Behind the *, there are one hundred thousand cavalrymen of the prairie people. Although The distance is two hundred miles, but if the prairie cavalry uses their cavalry power to rush to the rescue, the opponent is likely to arrive here tomorrow afternoon. By then, we will be attacked from both sides. Facing the Falcon Empire's 100,000 cavalry, do you think that the 300,000-strong army can survive? How many people are going back?

"This..." The expressions of the generals changed. This is the extension of the Bavaria region and the edge of the plateau, so the terrain is not all as crisscrossed as the ravines in other areas. , for example, the front ends of the three fortresses of the Falcon Emperor are flat terrain. Once the 100,000 prairie cavalry come back, under the impact of the cavalry horsepower, the 300,000-strong army may not be able to block the impact!

His Majesty the King's thinking is correct. Fei Shan only has one day and one night left. If he cannot capture the fortress, all Fei Shan's previous efforts will be in vain! Under such circumstances, who would dare to stand up and demand that this night be wasted, but the lack of siege equipment is also a problem. In the end, King Feishan decided that the task for this night was to fill up the ice pits outside the three fortresses, and wait until the early morning of tomorrow to attack Once the city's equipment has been delivered, they can launch an attack on the city wall with all their strength. After a fierce battle all night, Fei Shan's army can take turns to rest by virtue of their strength advantage, but it will be difficult for the emperor's army who defends the city and fights fiercely! When the opponent is in dire straits, it’s your chance to break the city in one fell swoop.

"The order goes down. From now on, any team that receives the order will not delay. Even if it is filled with people tonight, it will be taken down by me!" King Feishan ordered loudly, and the determination in his voice made all General Feishan feel... A trace of tragedy, one day and one night, can this be taken down?
