Realm of Power

Elliot's slightly narrowed eyes flashed across the front of the Imperial Army, which was marching forward. They were absolutely well-organized and marched in an orderly manner. Behind the two lines of light cavalry were shield soldiers, and on the sides of the shield soldiers were spears. This ensures that we can fight against the Empire in any situation, and the Imperial flag stands straight in the wind, with the golden falcon flying high and high along with the flag.

It can be seen that the imperial army did not realize that they had fallen into an ambush. Although the formation was strict, they did not watch from left to right. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for victory, right before their eyes! This kind of fighter plane could not wait for many years. The cry of attack was beating in everyone's heart. The Kali Su soldiers who were ambushing in the forest were wearing close-fitting chainmail armor. Some people did not even wear this. His body was lying tightly on the dry and cold snow. Although his face was red from the cold, his eyes were firmly fixed on the road ahead. He clenched his weapon and rushed forward with just one command, seizing this gift that was enough to make the whole of Europe. Barrow's shocking first-fight performance

"Why haven't there been orders yet?" A low voice said in conversation.

"What are you doing? Are you going to fight or not? If you wait any longer, the hand holding the weapon will become stiff." The officers were anxious. Seeing that the imperial army was in the ambush circle, no order was issued for a long time. This kind of The feeling of sitting and watching the prey slip away makes everyone feel as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat's claws. "Lord Elliot seems to be old. He can't do anything if he is so hesitant!" An officer whispered angrily. They are the elites of the Carisu Kingdom, and some of them are Elliot's subordinates, but they are still Some were transferred here after Elliot was transferred, so not everyone was very respectful to Elliot.

"Sir, the troops below have begun to commotion." An officer came to report anxiously.

"Wait a minute, there must be something wrong." Elliot's eyes flickered. Everything was better than expected, but for some reason, Elliot, a veteran on the battlefield, felt uneasy. His eyes Sweeping back and forth on the imperial army, I felt a faint sense of something amiss, as if something most important was missing.

"There is indeed a big problem." Bollicoo, the Martin fan next to him, also discovered the problem. His burgundy eyes were withdrawn from the queue of the imperial army, and he said with an extremely serious face, "Have you noticed it, Lord Elliot?" , this imperial army is missing one of the most important arms."

"The most important unit? You mean the Imperial Crossbowmen!"

Hearing Borico's words, Elliot's body trembled suddenly, and he immediately realized that something was wrong with him. He did not see the Imperial Crossbowmen... There were no Imperial Crossbowmen in this army! Elliot's face suddenly became a little ugly. No wonder he had been feeling something was wrong just now. It turned out to be because he hadn't seen the imperial crossbowmen appear for a long time. The meaning of this even made Elliot's confidence shaken. The notorious Imperial Crossbowmen once caused great losses to the South during the Civil War. They could penetrate the heavy armor of heavy infantry within fifty meters. It can easily penetrate the armor of ordinary soldiers within 100 meters, and even 130 meters is within the killing range. It is said that above the imperial crossbowmen, there are even more elite imperial longbowmen, whose shooting range can reach a frightening two-meter range. 100 meters, any infantry group encountering such an opponent can be directly described as a disaster. When the southern infantry encounters the imperial crossbowmen, they are simply beaten to the point of complete abuse!

"Sir Elliot, if I suggest canceling this ambush, I don't know if I can agree to it." Bollicoo suddenly looked at him with a very serious face. Although he knew that this proposal was completely impossible, Bollicoo still wanted to I gave it a try, and sure enough Elliot refused. "Although something is indeed wrong, it shouldn't have a big impact on the overall strategy!" Elliot said decisively. After determining what was wrong, he mentioned Instead, my heart was relieved,

Although the entire Obarro knows that the most powerful unit in the imperial army is not the melee infantry, but the crossbow shooters in the imperial army. The empire relied on weapons such as the imperial crossbow to sweep across the Nordic Barro and defeat Gang Fei in just a few years. , the repressed south has no temper. How can there be no crossbowmen in an imperial army? This can only explain one thing, that is, the other side also has preventive measures. If they want to have imperial crossbowmen to suppress the formation, even if they are suddenly attacked or unexpectedly, You can also launch a counterattack immediately! But in the face of the sudden burst of 50,000 troops, it's hard to say how effective the opponent's back-up plan can be.

"Pass my order, the whole army launches an attack!" Elliot raised his hand and gave the order to the cavalry behind him with a serious face. Although he realized something was wrong, Elliot still decided to take a gamble. With an army of 50,000, even if the opponent really has crossbowmen hiding, the outcome of this assault battle will not change due to the absolute military disadvantage.

"All troops attack!" The cavalry shouting orders flew past the edge of the forest like meteors. Like a long silent black line, a large number of Kalisu troops began to run out from the direction of the forest, and long bugles sounded. , in an instant, from the high ground to the south, there was a bright sword shadow. "Go forward, long live Callisu!" The deep shouts from the chests of Callisu's soldiers resounded across the plains. The ground shook, the soldiers and horses galloped forward, like a storm, and the attack began! Twenty skirmisher lines composed of 50,000 troops rushed from the direction of the forest condescendingly.

"Discover the enemy and form an array"

The imperial army stopped marching for the first time, and then, like magic, the shields were pressed hard to the ground, and the spears came out from the gaps between the shields. Behind the shields, there were spear-throwers composed of Nords. Exhaling loudly, they threw the javelin in their hands together. Kali Sujun raised his head in horror, and saw countless silver lights striking his head in graceful arcs from high altitude, bang bang bang! The javelin rain fell into the dense crowd with terrifying force, bringing out a burst of terrifying screams, like a rolling wave of blood, causing the people in the front line of Carisu to flip over and suffer heavy losses. When the first line of attack encountered the Imperial Army In the military formation, more than 500 Mikalli Soviet troops have been killed by gunfire. Such losses are only insignificant for an army of 50,000.

"Kill!" The people of Kalisu were overwhelming, and their swords slashed on the shields of the imperial army, emitting bursts of fire. Behind the shields, the cold imperial soldiers clenched the spears in their hands, and fiercely pierced the Kalisu troops who were rushing forward. Lisu's soldier's body fell into pieces as the stabbing gun was drawn out. Down, but the second line of the Kali Soviet Army collided quickly. Before the second line completely fell, the third line hit again. Several people, more than a dozen people, hit the shield, even the shield made of Imperial Steel. Finally, he couldn't bear the squeeze and was suddenly pushed over. The imperial soldiers behind him were pushed and rolled over. There was a loud shout of "Pikemen to attack". As the shields in front collapsed, the Imperial Lancers as the second line shouted loudly. They moved almost at the same time and stepped forward in order. Thousands of them were as neat as brushes. An ordinary imperial stabbing spear, with the spear tips thrust forward fiercely, like a silver light The line cut into the surging attack of Kali Su's army, and there was a "puff" sound. Wherever the silver line passed, human blood spattered. In just a short moment, thousands of bodies fell down, and the blood of thousands of people fell on the ground. Flow, slap, slap, in such a crowded environment, there is almost no need to think about the problem of failure.

This kind of hand-to-hand confrontation is the most cruel and tragic scene. There are spears and machetes waving in the sky everywhere. The metal light of the weapons shines in the blood, and the blood is spraying. It is like a steel wall pressing on the meat pie. The soldiers on both sides Blood is flying, and the cold light of the stabbing spear is like a hurricane, blowing away the enemy in front of him. It was like a heavy hammer smashing into the enemy's chest. The blood that exploded in a flash was so gorgeous, but the disadvantage of the empire's military strength was also exposed. Although it was handled properly, Carisu With the absolute advantage of army numbers, Bai Dan had no choice but to force the imperial army to start moving back.

Bai Dan looked at the Kalisu army that was covering them like dark clouds, and frowned slightly. The number of enemies in front of him was seriously inconsistent with the intelligence. According to the intelligence, the Kalisu army only had 15,000 people on the border, but the number of enemies in front of him was seriously inconsistent. The number of Kali Su's army is definitely 40,000 to 50,000. If not for this sudden advance, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Kalisu people would have gathered such strength on the border. You must know that the entire Kalisu Kingdom has only about 160,000 troops. In other words, in front of you, there are three parts of the Kalisu Kingdom. One of the troops, but he only has the strength of one flag regiment. There is a huge disparity in strength.

At the critical moment, countless arrow clusters fell like a storm from behind the imperial army formation toward the front. The sharp Mitsubishi arrows penetrated deeply into the armor from all angles, bringing up a dazzling burst of bright red in the Kalisu army. The sound of a sharp weapon piercing the body was like the sound of a bloodthirsty beast tearing apart muscles with its fangs, and the front end of the Kalisu army was in chaos. The officers shouted loudly, "Watch out for arrows."

"It's the Imperial Crossbowman!"

Seeing this, Elliot's eyes paused slightly. The Imperial commander had indeed hidden the crossbow shooters. The position of these Imperial crossbowmen was on an adobe behind the Imperial army. They were full of Imperial soldiers. Crossbowmen, they are the best protected. Each row of the Imperial crossbowmen's skillful and fast projectiles are harvested in the Kalisu army array. Fighting for human life, especially in such a densely packed area, the Imperial crossbowmen were absolutely superb. The Imperial crossbow arrows fired from there were inserted like raindrops one after another. The fifth member of the Kalisu Kingdom Army who was walking in front The regiment just hit it, and the soldiers were in a mess, running around like crazy, and even caused considerable chaos to the troops behind them. "Come here, give the order. Anyone who retreats and disrupts the formation will be killed!"

Elliot took a deep breath and conveyed the order with a cold face. He wanted the fifth regiment to attract the attention of the imperial crossbowmen. After receiving the order, the commander of the fifth regiment cursed his mother angrily. He really treated himself as cannon fodder. The entire regiment has 3,600 soldiers, including more than 100 veterans. Half, he is not a newcomer who has never seen blood, but the powerful imperial crossbow shot in front of him fell down by a third almost in one encounter. Before he could react, another third fell down, and the remaining If the lower third hadn't run so fast, they would all be dead right now! What does it mean to retreat without authorization and break up the formation? Whoever is so stubborn should try to see if he can block the coverage of the imperial crossbow shooter! "Sir, Lord Bai Dan's Eighth Banner Regiment and the Kali Su Army were ambushed by the Kali Su Army and are currently fighting hard!" The news of the encounter at the same time was also immediately transmitted to Lytle behind him. After hearing After the number of the Kalisu army was not 15,000, but 40,000, Lytle's expression suddenly changed and his fingers clenched suddenly. Did the Kalisu royal family really choose which plan?

It is definitely not a coincidence that the Kalisu Army suddenly gathered such a large number of troops here.

As the leading figure in the Kalisu military, Lytle almost immediately flashed an idea in his mind that made his hair stand on end. Just when the Fezer Civil War had just broken out, the Kalisu royal family once asked for help. Lytle, who proposed a secret The plan is to take advantage of the civil war in the Fezer Kingdom and its inability to take care of the southern vassal states. The Kalisu Kingdom will unite with the Martinliya Kingdom to annex the southern vassal states of Fezer in one fell swoop. When the Fezer Kingdom gets out of the quagmire of the civil war, the entire The South has become a foregone conclusion

The civil war in Fezer will inevitably cause a huge loss in strength. After learning that the Kingdom of Calisu is backed by the Kingdom of Martin Fang, Fezer, whose strength has been greatly reduced, can only swallow the bitter pill of the fact that the southern vassal country has been invaded!

This is a quite feasible plan

The Martin Liga people have wanted the western coastline for more than a day or two, and the biggest resistance standing in front of the Martin Liga people is Fezer and the vassal countries in the south of Fezer. Among them, the Kingdom of Calisu has been in the process for decades. It once became the main battlefield of Fezer and the Martinliga people, and it was the gate that the Martinliga Kingdom had to pass through if it wanted to advance westward.

In that battle, Fezer and the Calisu Kingdom's army severely damaged the Martin Tooth Army and stifled its ambitions again. It was precisely because of the failure of several westward expansions that the Martin Tooth Kingdom had to change its strategic direction and change its direction to the north. The Order State is looking for a breakthrough. Now, if the Calisu Kingdom is willing to side with the Martin Fangs, it will undoubtedly open the door to the West for the Martin Fangs that they dream of. If successful, the Calisu Kingdom is expected to get rid of the Fezer vassal. national identity and truly become a member of the southern power.

The Calisu royal family was full of confidence in this plan, but Lytle refuted it. It was too risky to find a plan. Success was gratifying, but if it failed, the Calisu Kingdom would be in doom. Not only Feize was recovering his strength. Later, they would launch a retaliation. Similarly, the Martin Liya people may not support it to the end. It is most likely to insert a knife in the back.

Because if the Martin Liga people get the western coastline, the Kalisu Kingdom sandwiched in the middle will look quite an eyesore!

This was seeking skin from a tiger, and he would inevitably be destroyed by the Martin Liya people in the end. Lytle firmly disagreed with this plan. Soon afterwards, Lytle was sent to Fezer by the coalition forces transferred by the royal family to the southern vassal country of Fezer. Finally, the coalition forces were defeated by King Fezer. Outside the capital, he was strangled by Fezer's army, and Lytle fled to the west coast.

But Lytle never expected that the Calisu royal family would actually implement this plan, because as the most important step of this plan, it is necessary to intensively gather the elite troops in the Balua area to wait for the situation! Only in this way can the effect of surprise be maximized! Only this possibility can explain why 40,000 to 50,000 Kalisu troops suddenly appeared in the Balua area!
