Realm of Power

The falling rain is like a sword, pouring down from the clouds, hitting the land of Balua layer by layer, covering everything in the world,

The Kali Su army decided to fight to the death, and the real elites were no longer hidden.

"Send the order, the cavalry is on the move"

Commander-in-Chief Elliot was serious. He personally went to the front to supervise the battle. He raised his hand and spoke word by word. When the infantry group was turbulent and weak, the cunning and experienced Elliott decisively ordered the only cavalry in the Kalisu army to start from the right side of the battlefield. Throwing in from the side, five thousand Calisu cavalrymen with stern expressions began to drive their horses. The ground was trembling slightly, and they saw a red cloud flying towards them.

"Papa papa" the horse's hooves stepped into the muddy water in front of them, raising the water on the ground that was already stained red with human blood. A line of Carisu cavalry rushed forward like a tide. They wore high-top cross helmets on their heads. The top of the helmet It is a meter-long white helmet, and the two flags of the Kalisu army behind them are also fluttering in the wind, making bursts of snapping sounds. These are light cavalry.

"Long live Carisu!"

"Carrissu will win"

Seeing that the top was finally willing to use cavalry troops, the morale of the Kalisu army, which was still a little bit hit, was immediately boosted. They were really harassed by the Imperial light cavalry. Although these Imperial light cavalry came and went like the wind, they only had a mere two in number. Thousands, but with the advantage of high mobility, it will be a meal against them. The crossbow fired, and then ran away like a frightened bird. The infantry could only eat dust behind them and sighed with joy. Although the losses caused each time were not much, it had a great impact on the morale of the army. Anyone found that he was an arrow. Even if you are a target, your heart will not feel relaxed, but the one who can stop the cavalry is the cavalry.

Barrow in Southern Europe is short of horses. If you want to form a cavalry force, you must buy them from imperial merchants in the north at a high price. However, due to the long distance and the empire's restrictions on fine military horses in the south, every war horse shipped to Barrow in Southern Europe must be purchased from imperial merchants in the north. The original price has definitely increased several times. According to the financial resources of the Calisu Kingdom, it is impossible to form a large-scale cavalry force. But this time it is different. These horses are all given by the Martin Liga people.

A full five thousand horses that can be used as military horses are definitely a great gift for the Carisu Kingdom, which further strengthens the Carisu Kingdom's confidence in sending troops to fight during the Empire's annual meeting. The combat strength of five thousand cavalry, Of course, it is nothing among the big countries. It is said that the Falcon Empire in the north has more than 200,000 cavalry. But in the area of ​​Feize's southern vassal country, these 5,000 light cavalry are a quite powerful force. , if it can be used, it is not impossible to conquer a country with five thousand cavalry! This time, they launched a unified war against Feize's southern vassal country. The Kingdom of Calisu had high hopes for these five thousand cavalry.

So even though it was so tragic just now, Elliot did not take out this precious pimple-like light cavalry. But now, the harassment of the imperial cavalry has greatly restrained the attacking troops. If he waits until other imperial troops arrive, no matter how unwilling he is, Rather, I can only sit back and watch this imperial army emerge from the encirclement. If it protrudes, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to the morale of the Kalisu army, so Elliot finally decided to give it a try. The Imperial cavalry on the opposite side only has two thousand, and even with the strength of five thousand cavalry, he cannot annihilate the opposite. Cavalry, at least it can prevent this imperial cavalry from harassing the attacking troops.

"Kill!"

In the silence of the world, the earth suddenly shook, and the horses were like thunder, completely covered by the sound of horse hooves. The Carisu light cavalry with flags on their backs came like a tide, like a huge rolling dragon, and suddenly hit the ground. The imperial cavalry that had not dispersed collided with each other. In an instant, blood spattered everywhere, and the wind with the smell of blood hit their faces.

Kill! With shrill shouts, the two cavalry groups collided crazily.

There were flashes of swords and shadows, war horses staggered, and countless blood spatters exploded on the cavalry of both armies. Because the arrows of the imperial cavalry assault crossbows were almost completely shot out, the imperial cavalry had to engage in real hand-to-hand combat. Both sides were light cavalry. Although the imperial cavalry was inferior in equipment. Slightly better, but because of the biggest killer empire Due to the lack of assault crossbows, the Imperial light cavalry did not take much advantage in close combat. Every collision reduced the number of Imperial cavalry. Although the losses of the Calisu cavalry were not small, the double numerical difference made the After losing about 500 cavalry, the imperial cavalry had to choose to temporarily retreat. "The Imperial Cavalry has withdrawn!" "The imperial cavalry is nothing more than this. The reputation of being the number one cavalry in the mainland is completely in vain!" The officers of the Kali Su army were excited and shouted loudly. They did not expect that the imperial cavalry, which was rumored to be the number one in the mainland, was so good. Without fighting, but also because of the harassment of this imperial light cavalry, Bai Dan's Eighth Flag Regiment of the Imperial Southern Second Army got a chance to breathe. The Eighth Flag Regiment reorganized the defensive line, and the cheers of the Kalisu Army The noise did not last long, because the scouts of the Kalisu army also brought news "Five miles away, the main force of the imperial army is rapidly approaching. It is conservatively estimated that the number of troops is more than 30,000," the scout of the Kalisu army said breathlessly. "There is also a regiment of more than 30,000 troops approaching. This means that the imperial army has invested at least 50,000 troops this time." Elliot's face changed slightly and he took a deep breath of cold air, frowning, his eyes I unconsciously glanced at the Martin Liga man Bollico, and sure enough I saw a thoughtful look on the Martin Liga man's face.

It seems that the other party has also felt it. The real target of the Imperial Army's attack on the Kingdom of Kalisu is probably Martin Fang! Let’s see what other sarcastic remarks the other party can make this time! Elliot turned to the messenger cavalry behind him and ordered. Although he did not complete the annihilation of the imperial army in one fell swoop, he at least allowed the empire to encounter resistance when it moved south. Although he shouted the slogan of fighting to the death, it does not mean that he will die. spell! Otherwise, the confrontation between the 50,000 Kali Soviet Army and the 50,000 Imperial Army will be a surefire rhythm. "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, give up the attack, and order the troops to retreat!" Elliot's deep eyes flashed, and he ordered through gritted teeth, this is a It was a very difficult decision that almost exhausted all his strength.

"Sir, our army is determined to fight to the death. How can we order a retreat?"

"Yes, the enemies are pressing forward. Why should we retreat? Who cares about the Imperial Army, just charge forward and defeat them." When the officers of the Kalisu Army heard the horn sound of retreat, they immediately went crazy. , immediately several young and energetic officers ran to Elliot and questioned Elliot loudly.

Elliot's old face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Fighting to the death does not mean that we will all die here. Only by preserving our military strength can we completely nail the southward imperial army to the Balua area. After all, this is also the Kali The area of ​​the Kingdom of Su, the unique landform of Kalisu, the forest sea that stretches for hundreds of miles, Intruders have always felt headaches and helpless. Even the imperial army, I believe, will be disoriented as long as they enter this hundred-mile forest sea. However, our army only needs to wait for work. As long as the imperial army thinks that a breakthrough cannot be achieved in the short term, the imperial army will inevitably Will soon choose to return to the West Coast.”

"Lord Elliot, on what basis do you judge that the imperial army will withdraw to the west coast soon?"

"The Imperial Army has been preparing on the west coast for more than half a year, and this time it is even more menacing. How can it be possible to withdraw like this! Even if Lord Elliot wants to make excuses for his withdrawal, please don't make such a stupid excuse!" Elliot's words caused an uproar among several officers, and they became even more convinced that Elliot was trying to escape! Looking at these indignant young officers, Elliot's face was also livid. He knew what these young officers represented. They were all royal children specially selected by the Carisu royal family and were appointed to the elite team at a young age. Commander, who has rarely been in a high position, naturally has his eyes high and is arrogant about everything. Not to mention he looks down on himself, but privately he even looks down on the emperor of the Falcon Empire.

For these royal children, Elliot felt that his explanations were redundant. These guys' heads were all overwhelmed with blood. Each one of them fantasized about becoming a famous general who would push the Calisu Kingdom to the throne of overlord, even in private. There are also people who say that Lytle, the leading general of the Calisu Kingdom, was sent to the Southern Allied Forces. The reason is that these young royal children think that Lytle, who has a conservative style, is a stumbling block for them. They want to make great contributions to the Kingdom of Carisu. However, Lytle, who is the leader of the military, thinks that Carisu is a stumbling block. The kingdom does not yet have the strength to rise. Only by waiting for the perfect opportunity can it hope to embark on the road to becoming a powerful nation!

Waiting, waiting again, generations of Kalisu soldiers have been waiting for eighty years, and they have been holding back the forest for eighty years. How long will they have to wait now! "What Lord Elliot said is correct. As long as it is delayed, the Imperial Army will soon choose to withdraw to the west coast." At this moment, it was the Martin Liga man Bollicoo who saw the chill in Elliot's words and said frankly. Well, it’s the Empire’s Annual Meeting, which is the biggest weakness of the Empire’s army going south. The reason why the Empire’s army is going south is to take advantage of the attention of the entire continent. On the occasion of the Imperial Capital Ocean City, he opened the southern gate of the Kalisu Kingdom in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and turned this matter into a reality when no one was paying attention. Otherwise, once the annual meeting is over, the mainland's gaze will By refocusing on the Empire's actions in South Europe's Balor, the surprise attack on Callisu will become a bitter battle in full view of everyone."

Bollico's voice paused and continued, "And the southern countries will never sit back and watch the empire defeat Calisu and open the door to the south, so by then, unless the empire is ready to start a war with the entire Southern Alliance, , otherwise the invading imperial army would have to retreat only once Way! That is to withdraw the troops from the land of Kalisu before the end of the New Year, otherwise it will be a declaration of war on the south! The empire should not be ready for this, otherwise there is no need to use Kalisu. Kingdom, it is better to directly move the army southward along the Kingdom of the Order." "Shut up, this is my own business, Carisu. You, a Martin Liya man, have what qualifications you have to point fingers here. What I'm asking now is just Mr. Elliot!" Several officers curled their lips with disdain, their faces full of disdain. He said disdainfully, of course they knew that Bollicoo's statement was correct, but as a child of the royal family, he was actually taught a lesson by a Martin Liga man. If this spread, how could he still have the dignity to walk on the street?

Hearing the words of the officers, Elliot felt a sense of sadness in his heart. At that time, the Carisu Kingdom had no choice but to succumb to the power of Fezer. Several generations of Carisu soldiers had to revitalize Carisu. The Su Kingdom went on and on, willing to sacrifice, but in their own generation, as the royal family continued to insert their children into the army, the famous general Lytle was even more marginalized. As a result, the quality of the officers in the army is now much lower than before. Only a handful of them have actually been on the battlefield, but all of them think they are very powerful. Returning from the royal capital this time, he has very clearly felt that those His original subordinates were fine, but the so-called elites who were transferred later were more domineering than the last, and it was common for them to contradict their superiors!

"Send the order and the whole army will withdraw into Linhai"

Elliot said decisively, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. After all, this is the land of the Kingdom of Calisu. The dense forest here once made 150,000 Martin Liya people dizzy, and the army was infected with the plague and collapsed. Such a natural barrier It would be a shame not to take advantage of it!

What the Callisu scouts saw was another Imperial army entering Callisu this time to fight, the Fifth Flag Regiment of the Imperial Southern Second Army.

After learning that the Eighth Banner Regiment was ambushed, the Fifth Banner Regiment first sent all the light cavalry to delay, and then the entire army rushed towards the ambush area. With Lytle, a pure General Carisu, the Fifth Banner Regiment The group was almost in a straight line in this dense woodland area. You must know that although the scenery in this area is beautiful, it is basically a large area of ​​tropical rain forest, and almost everything at a glance It is impossible to see the edge, and many people are trapped in it without even taking a chance. If there is no one who is familiar with this environment to lead the way, they will often get lost and waste a lot of time. Martin's Tooth Army suffered this loss in the first place. , it happened to be the rainy season, and the army got lost in the dense forest with no visible edge. By the time it was discovered, the army had already fallen into the predicament of a plague outbreak.

The brutal sounds of fighting could be heard in front. Lytle raised his hand towards the imperial army behind him. The 30,000 imperial army stopped. The front line could already be seen. In front of the imperial army formation composed of the heavy infantry of the Eighth Banner Regiment, It was the Carisu army that was like a tidal wave. There were sounds of fighting and screams. The piles of corpses in front of the Eighth Flag Regiment were more than one meter old. Broken limbs and arms were piled up. From this, one could see the brutality of the battle.

After seeing the size of the Kalisu Army and the battle flags of each team, Lytle, who was familiar with the Kalisu Army, was basically certain that the Kalisu royal family had really implemented the plan. The Kalisu Army on the opposite side also saw the changes from The imperial army surged out of the dense forest, and bursts of shrill horns resounded through the sky. With full reluctance, the Carisu army began to retreat like an ebbing tide. "Sir, do you need to pursue me?"

Estante, the leader of the Fifth Banner, asked, "These Kalisu troops ambushed the imperial army, and now they want to withdraw when they find reinforcements arriving. How can such a good thing happen? There are only 15,000 people in the Eighth Banner in front, so The Kali Su army has the advantage, but now with our arrival, the total strength can be equalized."

"No, the terrain here is special. There are hundreds of miles of forest and sea land, which is enough for the opponent to perform, and although the opponent has withdrawn, his military situation is not chaotic. This is to deliberately lure us into the forest sea. It is easy to enter, but difficult to get out. !”

Elliot shook his head solemnly and said, "Even if he is a Calisu, it does not mean that he can easily pass through the endless sea of ​​100-mile forest. The Calisu army has been stationed here for more than thirty years." , during which various traps were set in the Baili Forest Sea. This is a traditional defensive tactic of the Kali Su army."

Lytle talked eloquently. He was the number one general of Kalisu. He was naturally very familiar with the tactics of the Kalisu army. Hearing Elliott mention that the Kalisu army might set up an ambush in the Baili Forest Sea, Estante His face also changed. The dense forest here is indeed There are too many, especially some tall trees that can block even the sun. Once you enter the depths of the forest, the sun cannot shine down. It remains dark and humid all year round, and it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, let alone Talk about distinguishing between southeast, northwest and northwest! When the army is trapped, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the army.
