Realm of Power

The Kingdom of Ryla raided the Kingdom of Biang and broke through the entire border of the Kingdom of Biang within two days. One hundred thousand Ryla troops spread over the mountains and fields, covering the 70-80-mile-wide space between the border of the Kingdom of Biang and the Fortress of the Sun. Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the Fortress of the Sun. This huge fortress represented the glory of the Biang people and was recognized as the most powerful fortress in Barro in Central Europe.

The beacon smoke of this battle was so sudden that no one was prepared. One hundred thousand Rela troops stormed the Sun Fortress. Then the Bion defenders in the fortress launched a counterattack, using more than a thousand cavalry to attack the retreating Rela army. Unexpectedly, they broke through the obstruction of the Ruila Army's rearguard troops. The closest distance to the main formation of the Ruila Army, the King's Flag, was only 130 meters away. Ten meters later, despite encountering a two-line counterattack by the Rilla Army, there were still more than two hundred brave Bion cavalry who ran back from the chaos. One of the Bion cavalry captains also took away a Rilla gun. The regiment flags of the two regiments boosted the morale of the Biang defenders in the Sun Fortress. The Rila Army became angry and launched another fierce attack on the Sun Fortress.

"The catapult fires, click, click, click."

The stone-throwing lever, which was like a giant's arm, suddenly slid down from a high place. Hundreds of huge stones with water chestnuts were thrown out violently. After drawing a shocking arc, they collided heavily with the thick wall of the Sun Fortress. Rubbles were flying everywhere, even the strong battlements were broken, and the Bion soldiers hiding behind were covered in blood and flesh. The situation was extremely Tragically, under the sling attack from the Rilla people, the Biang defenders could only hide tremblingly behind the battlements. Those who were hit could only consider themselves unlucky, but some people thought that they should not have sent cavalry to raid Rilla the day before yesterday. Pulling people away, so that the Ruila people are now angry and attacking in turns day and night. The troops here have just retreated, and new troops are coming up from the other side.

The Kingdom of Rila was the last line of defense against the Hungarian Rebellion. In that war, although the Kingdom of Rila suffered heavy losses, it also received a lot of various military supplies from the empire, including thirty imperial heavy-duty thunder gods. At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops were defeated by the empire in Rila, and various prisoners and materials were seized. Naturally, the empire took the majority, but that didn’t mean that there were no gains on Rila’s part. Those servant troops with weak combat power, after the main force of the Hungarian army was defeated by the empire, immediately fled from Rila in panic. As a result, Owitt personally led the Rila army to cover up and kill them all the way, and the number of people captured in the end was more than 100,000.

Therefore, in terms of armaments, the Kingdom of Rila does not lack. What the Kingdom of Rila lacks is soldiers. If it can reduce the loss of personnel, Owitt will naturally choose. The Biang defenders, who are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, are just throwing slings at random. Next, I had to run exhausted on all sides of the city wall,

On the third day, the Rila people's slings slowed down a bit, but a more fatal blow came.

After a whole day of throwing catapults, Rilla has basically identified the weak points of the Sun Fortress. No matter how strong it is, there are still weak points, let alone the Tai Fortress, which spans six or seven miles in length. Large fortresses are built in different locations and naturally have different levels of solidity.

"At the lower corner of 400 meters on the east left side, there are obvious cracks after being hit by stones! The foundation under the corner of section 36 on the west side is made of gravel, and it will be shaken if hit hard..." Say it. The person who said this was the Rila craftsmen who came with the army this time. The craftsmanship level of the Rilla people is also one of the best in the Barro region of Central Europe. And this time Rilla King Owitt brought a total of 500 craftsmen. , which is responsible for constructing There are eighty craftsmen in the fortress and city walls. In the eyes of others, the Sun Fortress in front of them is just a series of solid large stones standing close together, absolutely unbreakable. However, in the eyes of these professional masons, it is only a section of the city. From its location, you can see which section of the city is prone to problems. Even if that section of the city wall is built, there will still be problems, big and small, due to foundation problems.

"If you concentrate all the stones and cooperate with the Imperial Thunder God in one position, the city wall should collapse." The leader of the Rilla craftsmen said with great certainty that the Biang people used 200,000 people to build the Sun Fortress and spent a lot of money. In ten years, the entire fortress was built on the mountain with large stones. The thickness of the city wall alone reached five meters. The thickness of the road and city gate is even thicker, but the Biang people have forgotten one thing, that is, the Sun Fortress is extremely strong, but it has also experienced wind and rain on this mountain for more than a hundred years, and the Sun Fortress The temperature in the area varies so much that it is rare in the entire continent. The highest temperature during the day can reach over 35 degrees, while at night it can drop to below zero.

Stone is a material easily affected by temperature

With such a drastic temperature change, even a steel fortress will collapse after more than a hundred years, let alone a stone that is prone to heat expansion and contraction. Therefore, the Sun Fortress is not as indestructible as it seems. On the contrary, the Sun Fortress Underneath the seemingly solid surface of the fortress, one can imagine what the interior would look like after hundreds of years of thermal expansion and contraction.

"Your Majesty, news just came that Bion ended the main force assembly ahead of schedule. Only more than 40,000 people were gathered and they hurriedly moved towards the Sun Fortress." A Rila intelligence officer came behind Owitt and put a group of people together. Handed over the report just received, the Kingdom of Rila and the Kingdom of Biang have been fighting for the Land of Three Rivers for decades. The spies have been intertwined with each other for a long time. The main force has just been mobilized, or there are signs of a large army gathering. Secret reports will be sent back soon. Therefore, in the two Three Rivers War between the Kingdom of Rila and the Kingdom of Biang, the main forces of both sides are almost all There is no way to hide it, but this situation was completely broken during the Hungarian Rebellion

During the Hungarian Rebellion, hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops invaded brutally. Everyone in the Rila Kingdom fought desperately, and the fighting was so violent that half of Rila's senior officers died in the battle, and seven out of ten middle-level officers died. Still no one cried out. The words of surrender are all that matters if you have them The consequences of the Rila men's determination to bite off a piece of meat from the Hungarians even if they died in battle were the collective fault of the Rila soldiers, but the unexpected result was that the Kingdom of Biang spent countless efforts and decades, it was only in Switzerland that The intelligence network built by the Kingdom of Rayla was completely destroyed, and it is a complete fantasy to establish an intelligence network in the fully reorganized Rayla Army in just two years and obtain more valuable intelligence. The Kingdom of Rayla this time A hundred thousand troops unexpectedly invaded the Land of Three Rivers. There was no news from the Kingdom of Biang before, because the intelligence line of the Kingdom of Biang had been cut off within the Kingdom of Rila. The intelligence network built later was basically Don't know anything about the situation at the top

And Ishakelnan was able to mobilize troops to destroy the Ruila Youth Army who had returned home, entirely because Ruila did not expect that the Biang people who had been closed for a winter would suddenly attack them, and Ishakelnan Before the launch, as the chief of the Biang border army, he convened a meeting with the generals of all armies. The temporary decision at the meeting caught Rilla completely off guard.

For the Sun Fortress, the Rila Kingdom is far more concerned than the Biang people, because if they want to completely control the Land of Three Rivers and completely cut off the Biang people's peek at the Land of Three Rivers, they must capture the Sun Fortress!

"Gather all the slings and thunder gods, and knock it open first!" After confirming the location, King Owitt of Rilla pointed to a place, which was what the leader of the craftsmen said, and the slings and thunder gods began to move in the same direction. turn

"What do the Rila people want to do!" Seeing the sudden stop of stone throwing, the Biang people on the city wall poked their heads out from behind the battlements. The flags of the Rila army below were still fluttering in the wind. The hundred thousand Rila army The three formations were like wings spreading outwards, and hundreds of catapults were lined up in front of the army.

"Haha, as long as we don't send infantry to attack the city!" Marquis Ankexi, the head of Biang's garrison, was on a tower. He pressed his hand on the battlement and looked at everything in front of him with a tense face. Marquis Ankexi's eyes flashed with exhaustion. In fact, it was all excitement. Two days had passed. Although the Rila Army was still attacking fiercely, it had changed from a strong siege to a stone-throwing siege. This was actually for It is more advantageous for the Biang Army, which has insufficient strength. Marquis Ankosi believes that even if he throws stones for another month, it is impossible to shake the Sun Fortress, and the advantage gained by the Rila people from raiding the border is changing with time. Little by little passes here,

According to the intelligence, the main force of the kingdom has finished gathering and is heading towards the Sun Fortress. It was originally scheduled to take five days, but now it only takes four days, and I have already delayed two days, and now it is the third day, that is, Said that tomorrow at the latest, the main force of the kingdom may arrive. Thinking of this, Marquis Ankexi could not help but feel excited. The general responsible person originally appointed by the kingdom The person is Isha Kelnan, but Isha Kelnan has not arrived yet, but unexpectedly this huge military achievement fell on him. He has been stationed in the Sun Fortress for so long, and finally met the reward. At this time, speaking of it, I really have to thank the Ruila people under the city. After all these years, the people who stormed the Sun Fortress, and this time, they just let me encounter it. It is simply a reward for nothing.

The catapult temporarily stopped, and a large number of Rilla Kingdom engineers began to be busy. It took time for the huge catapult to move or turn. I heard the sound of desolate horns, and groups of Rilla light infantry came out to protect the catapults. They galloped back and forth, kicking up dust in the sky. They were attacked by the Bion cavalry in front. Although the damage caused was not big, it was A heavy blow to the morale of the Ruila Army, and four captains immediately His Majesty Owett's military flag was hung on his head. They were all in chaos. No one dared to be careless now, especially since these catapults took two full days to make. If the Biang people rushed out and burned them, Well, under His Majesty Owitt's military flag, there are not four heads, but a long series of heads.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle"

The officers shouted loudly, gradually gathered their mounts, and spread them to both sides. The sound of shouting and neighing stopped for a moment, and then the rustling sound of countless feet on the ground was heard. The siege tower was pushed out by the phalanx infantry. The Rilla heavy armored infantry moved behind. Everyone was wearing heavy armor. Teams of people gathered behind the siege tower. A large area of ​​cold light shone, enough to There were as many as three or four thousand, and the tall black flags stood straight in the wind. Their murderous intent burst out, and the Bion defenders on the Sun Fortress couldn't help but lean back slightly.

"It seems that the Ruila people have given up on the flashy slings, which is a bit troublesome." Marquis Ankoxi's face became extremely ugly, and his hands wearing deerskin gloves clenched into fists.

"Archers get into position"

"Quick, everyone, prepare, shield, shield, hurry up and move forward." The city wall was in chaos, and the soldiers hiding behind the battlements ran out one after another. The atmosphere of an imminent battle made everyone's breathing become rapid. Once before, Rui Pulling people in is obviously just a tentative attack. The 100,000 troops spread out are only about 40,000 to 50,000, but now when all 100,000 troops spread out , the breath that hits the face is something else entirely. The coalition attack line under the city, the dense spear tips flashing with the terrifying sharpness of metal in the light, three attack lines, each composed of more than ten square formations, The siege towers and long ladders were densely packed. Not to mention the ugly faces of the soldiers on the walls, even the officers of the Biang Army couldn't help but gasp.

The Ruila people are preparing to attack across the board! , once they launch an attack, they will definitely fight to the death. Either the Rilla people break through the Sun Fortress and kill everyone, or they all die under the walls of the Sun Fortress. No matter which one, they are destined to have a narrow escape!

"The Biang people will never surrender!" Someone shouted in the silence

"The Biang people will never surrender!" The Biang people on the city wall raised their weapons at the same time and let out a deafening cry.

Rumble. Streams of red flames suddenly shattered the shouts of the Biang people, spraying out from a raised stone platform in front of the Sun Fortress. With a deafening sound, explosions exploded violently at the crenellations of the walls of the Sun Fortress. There was a violent explosion, and the echoes echoed across the earth for a long time. Even the reinforced Sun Fortress was under the dual test of throwing stones and thunder. The broken gravel flew down in pieces and rolled down the slope of the city in a mess. ,have The stones as big as millstones rolled faster and faster, with gravel and dust flying all the way. The momentum was very alarming, especially when they fell off the city wall with a roar. The thunderous sound could almost knock out every person in the Sun Fortress. The hearts of the defenders were beating violently. Most of them had never seen such a scene, and they never thought that the extremely strong Sun Fortress would be attacked by some kind of heavy siege weapon. the fact of destruction

"The wall collapsed!"

There was an extremely frightening sound in the distance. The Bion defenders on other city walls stared in the direction of the sound in stunned silence. They all took a breath of cold air. The city wall really collapsed, exposing more than thirty meters of Gap, the excitement brought about by shouting loudly, is like being poured down by a basin of cold water at this moment, Sun Fortress , is so vulnerable, the city wall that is said to be unbreakable was destroyed in the first wave. If only the stone bombs hit it, it would not be obvious, but after the explosion above, you can immediately see a Layers of gravel fell down like quicksand, as if the outer skin of the Sun Fortress was peeling off on its own.

"Haha, no matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand time. It seems to be true." Standing tall and tall on a mound, holding the monocular lookout given by the empire as a gift in his hand, he looked at The seemingly incomparably solid Sun Fortress was also bombarded by the God of Thunder. The city walls flew into pieces like pieces. A sinister smile appeared on King Owitt's livid face, and he raised his right hand towards the front.

"Forward!" shouted one after another, and the army moved forward like a tide.
