Realm of Power

810 Storm in Northland (8)

In the black cold night, the cold wind howled, and on the top of the city of Motu, Dongting General Wu Mu also stayed up all night. His tired and bloodshot eyes stared at the stars in the sky outside the city.

In the distance, countless light spots illuminated the hillside in front. It was the camp of the Falcon Army. In this ocean-like spark, the small Motu City looked like a city that had been hit by the waves. The isolated island may be submerged by the rolling waves at any time.

The army pressed on the city, and the heavy pressure made the soldiers in Dongting feel suffocated.

The strength of the Dongting Kingdom has withered away. Outside the city is a 100,000-strong falcon army, but inside the city is a meager garrison of less than 10,000 people with more than half of them disabled. In order to prevent the falcon army from landing on the city at night, Wu There was no need to divide these pitiful 10,000 people into two groups and take turns guarding the city at night. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he did not dare to slack off even for a moment.

The proverb "The falcon army is the best in the world in attacking a city" is not only widely circulated in the Ikadiva continent, but also heard in the Dongting grassland in the northwest. In the three years since the Falcons launched their army in Wikiia, due to the military front, Destroying countries and destroying cities is a common occurrence, sweeping across the northern part of the continent. There has never been a record of a failure. There is no telling how many fortresses known as strong walls have been turned into sad rubble ruins under the heavy blows of the Falcon Army!

Looking at the Falcon Army camp outside the city like stars, Wu Mu's ears seemed to still be ringing with the tragic battle during the day. Regarding the Falcon Army's aggressiveness,

Wu Mu's feelings can be described as complicated, with anger and sadness, but no resentment. In the daytime battle, the Falcon Dynasty's cavalry showed ferocity and skill, which was not inferior to the strength of their own cavalry.

His unyielding will is even greater than that of his own cavalry, and his several charges were all frontal attacks without fear of death. There were no tricks or plots, but only real collisions.

Although the previous strategy was a bit shaky and forced him into a decisive battle step by step, it was still a head-on battle, which was much better than the Northlanders who defected before the battle.

This was a battle between warriors and warriors, and generals against generals. No matter from which aspect, he was defeated head-on by the Vekia Falcon.

Regarding this point, Wumu also had to admit that the cavalry tactics of Vecia Falcon were definitely not inferior to his own monarch Hatalu, and his grasp of the overall situation had reached an unpredictable level.

Such an opponent is the nightmare of all generals. In front of such an opponent, he has been firmly trapped before he can take action, and every step he takes is actually approaching death. It is no wonder that, with Khan His Majesty's great talent and strategy, as well as the tyranny of the 100,000-strong Dongting army, were still completely destroyed by the talented heroes who had only emerged in recent years in the Ikadiva continent.

"General Wumu, I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, a delicate voice sounded behind him. Princess Alenas of the East Courtyard wore a chainmail armor and carried a scimitar with gems on her waist. She was followed by more than a dozen guards. Walking from the city road in front, it seems that they have just come here for inspection.

Seeing this pampered Princess of Dongting, Wu Mu couldn't help but feel a headache. The Second Princess of Dongting who was captured by the Ruidian people was redeemed from the fat man by the Dongting people for a ransom fee of 1 million gold coins. Instead of his pampered character, he became keen on military strategy.

Although it has only been a few months, it can be considered that I have some understanding of military affairs. This is also a good thing. As the last member of the Dongting royal family, these things have become a must-learn course.

But today is different from the past. The Falcon Dynasty's army is pressing down on the city, and fierce battles may break out at any time. This quiet city wall may turn into a field of fierce fighting at any time. As the last heir of the East Court royal family, Alenna There must be no room for any lapses in Si's safety, otherwise, Dongting will lose its most important thread.

He quickly put his right hand on his chest, bent down and saluted and said, "Your Highness, if you are still outside so late, I'm afraid it will cause the Queen to worry! I will arrange for someone to send Her Royal Highness back. This is a battlefield, and our warriors Even if we shed the last drop of blood, His Highness will never be put in a situation where he cannot control it."

"I heard that the leader of the enemy outside the city is the Vecchia Falcon who sold me for 1 million gold coins? I don't know if it's true!"

Alenas opened her eyes as bright as the moon, raised the riding crop with colorful tassels in her hand, pointed at the fire spots on the opposite side of the mountain, and asked with a serious expression.

"This..." Wumu hesitated with an ugly face and did not dare to answer. He had long heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Alenas was ashamed of this matter for life.

The majestic Princess of Dongting turned out to be a second-hand product resold by some despicable guy. For the arrogant and arrogant Highness Alenas, such words are like being nailed to the rack of shame forever, not to mention her status. My noble princess, even an ordinary Kugit woman cannot bear such an insult!

Seeing the look of grief and anger on Alenas's face, Wu Mu couldn't help but think with some malice. The princess had gone against her usual habits and turned keen on military affairs. She didn't want to catch the Vekia Falcon on the battlefield. Once? And then sell it again to achieve the purpose of revenge?

Unfortunately, everyone knows what a ridiculous idea this is.

It's just that most people did not express obvious denial out of respect for Her Royal Highness, which in turn encouraged Her Highness's firm confidence in the feasibility of this matter.

"This daring guy doesn't want to attack this city protected by the Ice God, right?" Realizing that Wu Mu was deliberately avoiding her question, Alenas said to herself with some dissatisfaction, but Wu Mu's Silently, it seems to prove that this is completely possible.

"General Wumu, I remember that you participated in the Battle of Ice God 20 years ago, right?" Alenas turned around and asked

"Yes, at that time, I was serving as the commander of the Thousand Cavalry of His Majesty Hatalu's bodyguard!" Wu Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of memory, and his ugly face became rosy.

He licked his lips that were chapped by the ice and said, "I will never forget that battle. His Majesty Hatalu was so wise and brave at that time. In front of him, those Xiting people sent to fight were just a group of freshmen." A rookie on the battlefield,

Under His Majesty's seduction step by step, Xiting's 50,000-strong army entered the hinterland almost unprepared. As a result, Lord Bogorzamu's cavalry cut off its logistical supplies from behind.

When facing a dilemma, His Majesty ordered the entire army to pour water from the lake in the city on the city wall at night, turning Motu into a huge ice-walled fortress overnight. Although there was no battle, it had already frightened the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of Xiting soldiers. cause west In response to the panic of the Ting army, His Majesty took advantage of the situation and attacked with Lord Bogorzamu from both sides, defeating the Xi Ting army and the Mohe Ya Lake beach fifty miles away. Now when talking about this matter, those fools in the Xi Ting are still frightened. Bloodless! "

"In that case, why doesn't the general stage this matter again?" Alenas blinked her beautiful eyes,

"Your Highness the Princess is saying...!" Wu Mu raised his head, his haggard face was stunned for a moment, with a hint of ecstasy, yes, the scene now is very similar to that day, the same cold winter night, the same I can't see my fingers, and the same army is surrounding the city!

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness Princess!" Wumu looked excited and half-knelt down to salute to express his gratitude.

The young Alenas looked a little embarrassed and said with a blush, "General, you don't need to be so generous. In fact, I only suddenly thought of this when I heard some older soldiers talking about it when I was patrolling the city. If I don't The picture shows the city protected by the Ice God, so please ask the general to be the protecting Ice God!”

"Ice God!" There was some water vapor in Wu Mu's eyes. If this battle really turned around like it did 20 years ago, his life would be worth it.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower..." Wu Mu seemed to have thought of something and seemed a little hesitant, saying, "In order to achieve the suddenness of Ice City, in fact, at the beginning of the battle with Xiting, His Majesty had already arranged for people to be in Motu There are a lot of hoards in the city Water, all this water collided into five thousand water tanks, and the tug-of-war fought all the way, buying Motu a full month, so that he could achieve the effect of a night of ice city, but now it is suddenly needed. In terms of our military strength , It’s really difficult!”

"That's not a problem!"

Alenas took out a golden token from her arms with a smile. Next to the golden raised word "Wang Ling" were inlaid with dozens of red and blue gems, large and small, which was the symbol of the successive heirs of the Dongting royal family. ,

Alenas handed the royal order to Wumu and said, "With this token, the general can mobilize the entire Motu citizens to participate in this matter with the order of the royal court. With Motu's population of 150,000 , if we all mobilize, we can definitely get everything done before the sun rises!”

"Don't worry, Your Highness! Before dawn, the myth of Motu will definitely be revived!" Wumu walked away with the token with an excited expression. Alenas also looked at the Falcon Barracks opposite with some satisfaction, secretly thinking He cursed, "Damn Falcon, if you have the ability, just climb up from the smooth ice city wall! If you can really climb up, I will obey you!"

Time passed moment by moment, and both warring parties seemed to have discovered some magic weapon to win, and they were all doing the same thing at the same time. A large number of Motu citizens, under the call of the royal court, used all the vessels that could be used to hold water. , person after person, transported water from several lakes in the city to large tanks on the city wall.

Then the people above pushed hard to the side of the city wall, allowing the water inside to infect the entire city wall. In the howling cold wind, the water flowing through the city surface formed a line of ice, and the water continued to splash down one after another. , half a meter thick ice completely covered the city wall, so smooth that it seemed like people could even be seen.

On the other side of Motu City, Fatty was also very busy. The military camp was stationed on a higher ground than Motu City, so water had to be collected from the river downhill.

But the number of 100,000 troops and the tight cooperation of the soldiers are definitely higher than the loose cooperation of the citizens in Motu City, so when the first ray of the sun shines from the horizon,

In the direction of the higher-lying Falcon Army camp, a huge ice castle about 500 meters long and wide appeared in front of the stunned Dongting people.

"Oh God!"

The people who made this cry were the Dongting people from Motu. They poured the outer wall of the city into ice blocks, but above their heads, there was a huge city of ice, surrounded by countless falcon soldiers like black ants. Pushed, it slowly moved towards a slope. The slope had been soaked by water and turned into a shining ice surface, facing the direction of Motu City below.

"Run for your life!"

The city wall of Motu was in chaos. There were more than 100,000 citizens crowded on the city wall. It was completely crowded and trampled by people. Countless people fell from the smooth city wall next to them and screamed repeatedly.

"Boom boom" With a thunderous friction sound, the huge ice city reached the top of the slope, and then, like a heavy object falling, under the huge effect of gravity, it fell towards Motu City along the slide that had been calculated long ago!
