Realm of Power

Central European Barrow, Fortress of the Sun

In the dim light, countless Biang people moved forward densely. There were soldiers holding heavy shields, staggering and scattered at the front. Behind them were a large number of light infantry who did not even have the most basic leather armor. Their vision reached the sky. You can see countless criss-crossing fights with the Sun Fortress as the dividing line. The fire was burning and roaring in the wind. The battle lines of both sides spread out, some were hundreds of meters long, and some were concentrated in a short gap of more than ten meters in the wall. Hundreds of thousands of people were shoulder to shoulder, charging one after another. The flags of both sides were completely soaked due to the heavy rain yesterday. Wrapping the flagpole, the cold and cruelty of iron and blood became more and more obvious. He sent the force teams up one by one, and ordered the troops behind to push the troops in front. With such force, they rushed forward, and the battle line changed from the initial number of encounters. Hundreds of meters, at an unimaginable speed, quickly expanded to the range of six or seven kilometers of the Sun Fortress.

From the very beginning of the fight, it has now completely turned into an all-out struggle between the two kingdoms and ethnic groups. This war broke out in just five days, but its brutality and the scale of the troops invested not only shocked those watching. The Central European Barro countries and even the many forces in the entire European Barro Continent were dumbfounded.

"Impressed step by step, I used the inferior force to stabilize the situation in the Sun Fortress. Then I only need to wait for the empire to intervene, and I can get all the north of the Sun Fortress, and the Biang people only have 300,000. The army is still unable to regain the disadvantage. I have to admit that the performance of the Ruila people this time is really amazing. "But no matter how you look at it, you feel that behind the outbreak of the Ruila people, there seems to be the shadow of the empire." "

"Probably not, I feel like the empire has been suppressing Rilla!"

Is this still an inter-regional confrontation? It is basically a life and death battle at the level of a major country! "For the laymen who are watching the excitement, the Sun Fortress has exceeded too many expectations, and for the experts, the monarchs of the countries are all shocked by the amazing strategy suddenly displayed by the Rila people. If Rila had originally If you can reach such a level, the war with the empire may not be a complete failure!

The total troops invested by the Ruila and Biang people have exceeded 300,000. If I hadn't known that the two countries had suffered heavy losses before the war started, I would have thought it was a decisive battle between two powerful countries. At this moment, no matter whether it was The combat effectiveness and fighting will shown by the Ero people and the Biang people have reached the level of almost regional powers. Who can tell that the Biang people, who have invested 200,000 counterattack troops in one go, are More than 300,000 people starved to death last winter, and Ruila's performance was even more astonishing. In addition to tearing apart tens of thousands of Biang border guards with strong force at the beginning, and then attacking them at an alarming speed, Attacked the Sun Fortress, otherwise the current Rilla army would have to face the 300,000 Biang army that suddenly appeared in the direction of the Sun Fortress. No matter how powerful the Rilla army was, facing twice the number of enemies, it would only be defeated miserably.

But in reality, the Rila people fought a brutal tug-of-war with the Biang people, and even vaguely gained the upper hand!

The land of Sun Fortress can no longer see its original black color, but has turned into another color. The dark red human blood is still washed by the rain that broke out last night to form small streams. The flames in the direction of Sun Fortress have already been washed away by the heavy rain. extinguished, but the war still spread, and Rayla's Thunder God roared from the top of the Sun Fortress. , pouring firepower towards the Biang army below, and pieces of light balls exploded in the queue of Biang people advancing all over the mountains and plains. Although the shooting speed and accuracy of the thunder gods operated by the Rayla army were only those of the empire's skilled shooters. Less than half, but it still put great pressure on the soul and body of the Bion army facing the mountain below.

"For Bion! Take back the Sun Fortress"

"Follow me, charge forward." There were all kinds of shrill shouts. The Rilla archer standing on the Sun Fortress didn't even aim anymore. He just raised his bow and pointed towards the sky below. The opponent was completely attacking from behind, even if the one at the front was. A group of shields cannot cover the people behind, and the bows keep " "Zhi" stretched into a full moon, and "Whoosh" arrows poured into the crowd below like a continuous rainstorm. The person hit by the arrow was still pushed forward in the crowd. At the location of the collapsed city wall, countless sharp weapons were slashing at it. Fighting, fierce fighting, both sides gnashed their teeth and shed blood. There were swords and swords everywhere, and the armor on their bodies was completely beaten into blood red. There were corpses lying at the feet of both sides. Because the dead people were so right, the Bion soldiers almost climbed up on the corpses of the dead people, and screams continued one after another. The sound of weapons slamming, sparks flying, wounds The two were lying in a pool of blood and moaning. Both sides, who had not rested for two consecutive days, were confused in their heads at this moment. They were just numbly struggling to wave their weapons to the opposite side. The greasy feet were from the human body they were stepping on, and they were thick. The smell of blood is even more natural than the air!

"The left side was torn apart. What are the Eighth Army doing? Even a pig wouldn't be beaten like this!"

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Army has been defeated!"

"The Fifth Legion requests reinforcements! More than half of them died in the battle!"

"Report! Lord Brent of the Ninth Army is seriously injured!"

Listening to the urgent news one after another, there was no expression on the solemn face of Rila King Owitt. The scale of this war had exceeded his expectation, although he knew in advance that the Biang people were gathering. They counterattacked with heavy troops, but they did not expect that Bion would be so crazy. In addition to the 80,000 people at the beginning, they actually took all the men over fourteen and under sixty years old from the four provinces surrounding the Sun Fortress. Xingdu temporarily recruited soldiers, a temporary civilian army of more than 150,000. After arriving on the battlefield yesterday morning, the Rila army faced the most severe test. Groups of Biang people swooped on the Sun Fortress. With the incomplete city wall, the combat effectiveness of these Biang civilian armies was almost negligible. They would flee back in droves after even slight losses, so the pressure on Rilla's army was not great at first.

But as time went on, the Rila army began to realize the Biang people's true intention of using these civilian cannon fodder. The Biang people were using these cannon fodder civilians to consume the Biang people's already exhausted energy. After two consecutive days of fighting, more than The Ang people's regular army was recuperating behind, but the Ruila army in the Sun Fortress had to constantly Always on guard against the waves of attacks by these cannon fodder troops, the tired and pale faces of the soldiers have begun to show dull eyes. Many soldiers are still fighting one moment, and the next moment they may be holding weapons and snoring in the corner. The young soldier was hacked to death by the Biang people who sneaked up because he didn't have time to react while taking a rest.

"It turns out that this item was not included in the counterattack plan. It seems that someone changed the counterattack plan."

Surago's face was solemn. As the maker of the original counterattack plan, he could feel better than anyone else that someone had changed the counterattack plan. In other words, if the counterattack plan was the first one, then someone obviously made a second one. , it’s no wonder that the Ministry of Military Affairs of Biang has been intentionally or unintentionally resettling retired soldiers over the years. In the provinces surrounding the Sun Fortress, the advantage of doing this is that the folk customs in these surrounding provinces are quite rough and tough, and they have a tradition of opening up if they disagree, because many people have returned from the army and have many families at home. At least they all have hidden weapons and simple leather armor, which is equivalent to having a large army secretly deployed in these surrounding provinces in advance.

As the Military Strategy Department of the Kingdom of Biang, it is mainly responsible for strategic deployment and troop deployment, and has no access to these. And if it were not for this Sun Fortress battle, no one would have known that the Biang royal family had hidden such a trump card!

The Sun Fortress seemed so huge before, but at this moment, the Rila people began to feel that it was beyond their capabilities. Every section of the seven or eight miles long Sun Fortress was fighting, and the Rila army only numbered 120,000 to 30,000. The battle losses in the past two days have been reduced to about 90,000. It is impossible to fully take care of the seven or eight miles long Sun Fortress wall. It's possible, but the Biang people took advantage of this long attack line. Biang civilian soldiers charged back and forth on these wall sections. When they were defeated, they ran back. After ten minutes, it was black again. When the enemy came up again, the Rila soldiers had to brace themselves and fought non-stop for several hours, defeating one attack after another.

It seems that they have the upper hand, but the actual situation is not the case. The Biang people's advantage as a home field is beginning to show. Reinforcements can be brought in endlessly. Civilian troops are recruited from nearby areas, and it only takes two days to arrive on the battlefield. , huge slings also began to appear in sieges In the queue, with dozens of civilians pushing behind and the attacking troops approaching step by step, Bion was regaining its original disadvantage step by step, while the Kingdom of Rilla had to send its elite troops back. The troops were consumed by the bottomless pit-like battle situation in front of them! As one goes and the other goes, it is only a matter of time before the Beans finally retake the Sun Fortress!

"Is it true that God's will is not with me, Rila!" Rila King Owitt murmured to himself in a low voice that only he could hear. His chest heaved slightly, and the look on his face changed from the initial excitement to Iron blue,

The fierce battle lasted until the afternoon of the fifth day, and the Biang civilian army began to show signs of immobility. Large numbers of Biang civilian soldiers were walking slowly, and their faces were all unmotivated. They looked like a group of soldiers. The large group of ducks were driven away by the Biang regular army behind them. Before they even got close to the city, they turned around and fled under a hail of arrows. Even if the Biang officers behind raised their swords to kill people, they still could not stop the civilian army from fleeing. flow of people

"The Bion attacks are beginning to weaken!"

"It seems that the other party can no longer bear such heavy losses."

The generals on the Rilla side were the first to notice that the attack intensity of the Biang army had been greatly reduced. They used to be a swarm of swarms, but now they are obviously much more sparse. On the one hand, it is because of the expansion of battle damage and the fluctuation of people's hearts, and on the other hand. They are civilians after all The civilians continued to attack back and forth for two consecutive days. The Biang army originally climbed up and attacked. These Biang civilians were exhausted. There were even mutinies in some chaotic troops, but what really made Biang The civilian soldiers began to fall in large numbers, However, the climate within twenty miles of Sun Fortress has a huge temperature difference. It is fine during the day, but at night the temperature suddenly drops to below zero. The unprepared Bion civilian army fell down overnight, and thousands of people fell immediately, because it was Temporarily recruited, one manpower Armed with a spear, a wooden shield, and no armor, let alone a leather tent for resting, the men and horses fought all day and night, lying in the open air to rest. Under the sudden cold, it was not obvious in the morning, but in the afternoon, Immediately, a large number of people fell

"According to what you said, can the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army really defeat Ishakelnan's reinforcements?" King Owitt of Ruila took a deep breath and turned to look at Su beside him. Lacob, he was actually a little shaken in his heart. He had done everything he could, and all the troops he could mobilize were mobilized. Everything was as prepared as expected.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Ishakelnan has lost trust in the Biang royal family. As long as the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army come up with what I gave them, Ishakelnan will definitely choose to evacuate the Sun Fortress immediately. "Periphery" Su Lago's eyes narrowed into a thin line, a cold light flashed inside, and he said decisively word by word.

"I hope so, otherwise I can only choose to evacuate the Sun Fortress with my whole family in five hours. I can't bury the entire Rila Kingdom's soldiers here!" Owitt said with a serious expression.

The Sun Fortress has reached this point. No matter it is the Biang people or the Ruila people, there is no way out. The fatigue of the army has been revealed. It can be seen from the number of people who have withdrawn. Many soldiers' weapons have been thrown on the ground. Just lying on the ground, both sides have fought to the end, like two beasts biting each other, and now the only strength left is to stare at each other.

However, compared with the brutality of the Sun Fortress, there is also a confrontation on the edge of the Sun Fortress, that is, the battle between the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army and Ishakarnan who rescued the Sun Fortress, and this was originally just this battle. The collision that embellished the battle, but at this moment when both sides are exhausted, has undoubtedly become the decisive force that can turn the entire situation around.

Regardless of whether the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army returned to the Sun Fortress to join the battlefield after defeating Ishakelnan. With these two fresh armies, Owitt was 70% sure to defeat the equally exhausted Bion army in one fell swoop. And if Ishakelnan defeats the obstruction of the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army, it will inevitably give the main force of the Empire a fatal blow from behind the Sun Fortress. The real decision-making power of the Sun Fortress has now completely fallen on this battle. The scale is far inferior to the battlefield of Sun Fortress!
