Realm of Power

850 Greedy Snake (7)

At five o'clock in the afternoon, under the somewhat impatient eyes of the Hurun soldiers, the Nord army on the opposite side began to stir up a commotion, and then the sound of "stomp" like horse hooves came from the other side, followed by rows of brightly armored Nord troops. The German infantry ranks appeared behind the Nords like stacked dark clouds,

"The Fourth Nord Army!" Hu Lunfeilin narrowed his eyes unnaturally into a straight line, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable cold light, and his hand involuntarily tightened the scimitar at his waist.

What's coming is finally here! As the most powerful legion in the area, the Fourth Legion has always been a troublesome target for Hu Lunfeilin. If it weren't for the existence of this legion, he wouldn't have to take such a big detour, just to make the other party really Thinking that one is at the end of his rope

These are the real elite Nord troops. It can be seen from the uniform movements of the other side that there is a world of difference between these later Nord soldiers and the previous Nord soldiers. The spears are concentrated on the heads of these soldiers. Like a towering forest moving,

The soldiers were walking on the beach, the dark figures almost covering up the brilliance of the setting sun above their heads. The mail belts on their bodies made a neat rustling sound. Even the sound of the waves hitting the rock wall could not be covered up.

Groups of troops, as if by magic, appeared continuously from the mountains behind, like a dark cloud covering everything, quickly filling up the large open space on the other side.

The five thousand Hulun soldiers who were laughing and joking just now turned serious. The senior soldiers who were sitting on the ground wiping their scimitars also stood up with solemn expressions and thrust the scimitars in their hands into the sand.

Although it was expected that the enemy would mobilize all their troops, seeing these seemingly endless enemies still made many Hulun warriors across the ocean feel terrified.

The enemy on the opposite side seems to be doing this on purpose. Each queue is arranged in a strict manner, with a solemn military appearance, and they are approaching in neat steps. This is more like a military parade than a battle. There is an unspeakable strangeness in the air. It seemed depressing, and the heavy breath made everyone feel like there was a stone pressing on their heart.

"Hey, how many people are there!" Some Hurun warriors muttered subconsciously. Judging from the current visual inspection, the newly arrived Nord army exceeds at least 20,000 people. In other words, there are currently more than 20,000 Nord troops among them. Opposite is a total of 40,000 Nord troops, and new troops are constantly coming out.

No one answered him, no one spoke, but it did shock the other person. Looking at it, the entire beach was covered with black heads, dragged from the beach to the mountainside, made of thousands of fine irons. The mail armor, illuminated by the golden sunset in the evening, is like a layer of golden waves rolling, giving people an irresistible sense of oppression.

It seems that only strong blood and strenuous fighting cries can make them feel better under that kind of heavy pressure. This kind of bloody murderous intention is like fermentation, spreading in the chests of the Hulun soldiers,

Dense spears, rows of shields, and heavy battle axes for assault in the front row. Suddenly faced with real land elites, the Hulun warriors across the ocean were also a little confused. Only now did they realize that the war between land and sea. Completely two different things.

On the ocean, it is already the main force to encounter more than 20,000 enemies. But on land, with the dense population and advanced military forging, scenes of battles involving tens of thousands of people are almost everywhere, and decisive battles of more than 100,000 people are also common. It is not a rare thing. Compared with the real mainland powers, the Hulun tribe with a total strength of about 30,000 is really not enough.

"You bastard! There are so many people! Only those who have the ability to come and beat me will be treated harshly!" Someone in the queue cursed, and the loud and harsh voice caused a burst of laughter. The depressing atmosphere seemed to be diluted by the laughter, and then a The crisp sound of a machete being unsheathed vibrated in the air

"That's right. You have to fight to know whether you are powerful or not!" Hu Lun Feilin pulled out his saber with a cry, raised it high and shouted loudly, "I, the warriors of the Hu Lun tribe, still remember what you did when you became warriors." An oath? Not afraid of death, not afraid of storms, with courage to defend with a scimitar under the witness of the sea god!"

After saying this, Hu Lunfeilin struck hard, and the sharp scimitar penetrated deeply from the front of the cliff in front of him, causing sand to fly. The cliff on the beach was not very strong in the first place, but this knife was cut from the cliff. The stone blocks on the wall are inserted into the front, which is enough to show the sharpness of Hu Lun's scimitar.

Hu Lun Feilin let go of the handle of the knife, raised another scimitar and said loudly, "I, Hu Lun Feilin, swear on the cliff, if anyone wants to leave now, I will not blame him, because he is afraid before I fight him." , It’s better to go back to the sea as soon as possible! Cowards are not worthy of setting foot on land, and I, Hu Lun Feilin, disdain to be with such people.”

"I would like to live and die with Miss Felin!"

The young officer with an excited expression was the first to shout, followed by the soldiers of the Hu Lun tribe. After more than half a month of plundering along the coast, Hu Lun Feilin had planted the seeds of loyalty in the hearts of these soldiers, and Hu Lun Feilin had gained the benefits. The Lun soldiers all regard Hu Lun Feilin as their true leader in their hearts.

"We must win! We must win!" The officers raised their scimitars at the right time and shouted loudly. Under their leadership and encouragement, the sound of five thousand scimitars being unsheathed was echoed by the roaring sea breeze. It looked neat and thick, and the sound of metal friction it caused seemed to cut through the rumbling sound of the waves.

In the Nord formation on the opposite side, the newly appointed commander of the Fourth Army, Herus, was looking at the Hurun army with high fighting spirit not far away with great interest. Finally, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The so-called nightmare in the South China Sea. That's all. Five thousand light cavalry are enough. If you want to compete with yourself, you are too ignorant! However, with only 5,000 people, this guy Stannis did not move for a whole afternoon. It seems that this guy is indeed old and no longer has the same strength as Rui Erdian's army. The courage to fight to the death!”

"Lord Herus, let's attack, otherwise it will be dark before tomorrow!" Stannis came from the front with several flag captains and said in a strange way.

"Dark? It turns out that Sir Dennis is afraid of darkness. I thought he was waiting for the high tide in the evening! It's really a good idea. Judging from the position of these falcon troops, it happens that the tide will flood them in the evening. area, if our army can attack along the tide, I think we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Even if the opponent wants to form a defense on the beach, it will be difficult to stand due to the tide. "

Khrus sneered at the corner of his mouth and did not comment on Stannis's suggestion.

"This" Stannis's face changed. He didn't expect that Herus would see through his plan at a glance. He really thought so. He would wait for the Fourth Army to rush up and fight the opponent until they were exhausted, and then he would lead the troops. If you ride the rising tide and rush up, you will definitely be able to smash the last enemy to pieces. When the time comes, the position of the first attack will definitely be yours.

"Lord Horus is so far-sighted! Your arrival makes us feel even more confident that we will win this battle!"

Several Nord flag captains said with flattering smiles on their faces, which made the silent Stannis next to him itch with hatred. These guys were so unloyal. Seeing that Horus was now so powerful, they quickly forgot about their own name. The boss at the top chose the side of Horus almost without any hesitation.

"A bunch of idiots, just wait and cry. This guy Herus is more sinister than you think!" Stannis angrily cursed in his heart. He and Herus were both commanders of the Fourth Army. When he served as When he was the commander of the legion, Herus was just a flag commander. As a former boss, he still knew this guy well.

"It is also an honor for Herus to receive your assistance!"

Horus handed over to everyone and responded with a sneer on his face. With a bit of cunning in his eyes, he took out a scroll from his arms and slowly unfolded it in front of everyone's doubtful eyes.

"This is the military order I just received from the Ministry of Military Affairs!" Khrus stopped his voice, glanced at the astonished people in front of him, and said in a serious voice, "This is the order issued by His Majesty Rogyalke personally. Who can be captured alive?" The commander of this falcon army, regardless of his previous title level, was directly promoted to the first-level marquis of the kingdom, the deputy minister of the royal affairs department, and the fertile Antico Valley was used as a reward fiefdom."

'Hiss' As soon as Horus's voice fell, the faces of several flag captains were already full of joy. Even Stannis next to him took a deep breath of cold air.

The first-level marquis of the kingdom! That is the highest-level title under the Duke of the Kingdom, and it often corresponds to the territory under its jurisdiction. Only important ministers such as the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of the Interior are qualified to match it, not to mention the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Crown Prince. By the person’s position,

It is the highest dream of many Nord soldiers to be able to take charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is the brain of the Nord army and the source and command of all combat plans.

Being able to enter there is not only a positive aspect of your identity and the realization of your dream, but also countless opportunities. Being able to enter shows that you are already a key figure that His Majesty the King relies on as his right and left arm.

His Majesty Yagrolk offered such a generous reward, which shows how much he values ​​this falcon army that has shaken the entire southern coast.

"Everyone understands it! I am not afraid to tell you the truth. The outcome of this battle will not only be a matter of annihilating an enemy, but also a matter of solving a worry for Your Majesty! It is a hundred thousand troops fighting bloody battles in the front. Solved the most terrible hidden danger! ”

"Lord Boankov, your troops will serve as the right wing. Lord Ancalijun, your troops will serve as the left wing! In front of everyone's hot eyes, Khrus rolled up the scroll in his hand extremely cautiously, and then raised it He started and said, "Sir Dennis and I will be the center of this battle. We will attack at the same time. Whether you can get promoted and make a fortune, or be promoted to the first level of Marquis, depends on this fight!" "

"Haha, Sir Horus is indeed the fairest! This way everyone has a chance." Hearing this arrangement, several flag captains suddenly smiled. They were originally afraid that Horus would come to embarrass them, but the other party His frank manner immediately made them lose their guard.

Only Stannis's face looked a little ugly. He knew Khrus very well. When he was young, he was a cunning and perverse guy. He and Salton, the military chief of the Sunuo region, did not do his job and did nothing all day long. Known for teasing women.

Later, because he offended the wrong people, one was sent to the border to be an adjutant, and the other was placed in a remote mountainous area. It is said that this time he was able to jump from the flag regiment commander to the regular army commander because of Su Recommended by Salton, the military chief in this area,

He did not expect that Khrus would come up with this move. He originally wanted Khrus's fourth legion to play forward, or asked Khrus to force other flag captains to play forward. Once the attack failed, it would inevitably intensify the conflict between the two sides. contradiction,

Invisibly, it was equivalent to pushing the flag commanders of these second-line regiments to his side. However, with this attack, Horus destroyed everything he had painstakingly arranged.

"Lord Stannis, we have agreed to move forward at the same time in half an hour!"

Horus glanced at the dazed Stannis next to him seemingly casually, and sneered secretly in his heart: "Salton is right, the brave generals of the past are still old after all. If you still have the courage of the past, you will not fall into this situation. The consequences of falsely claiming military merit and scheming are not suitable for the elderly! "

"Okay, okay! Everything will follow the arrangements of Lord Horus." Stanis looked a little distracted, and he seemed to be quite stimulated.

"Then my army will line up behind Lord Stanis's queue!"

"Why?" Stannis's face was stunned for a moment.

"I heard that in the Battle of Ansidu thirty years ago, Lord Stannis faced ten times the number of Rendian people, and he dared to charge without fear! Compared with a fierce general like you, I, a junior, are really a bit weak. You're so timid! It's better to follow the seniors and study hard," Herus said nonchalantly.

Dennis's old face suddenly turned red with frustration, his eyes were as bulging as tombs, and his eyes were full of anger.

"It's just a joke, it's just a joke!" Khrus laughed, turned and left, leaving Stanis with a helpless back.

"The villain succeeds!"

Stannis was trembling with anger. How could he not know that Herus was mocking him for being dragged by five thousand people for a whole afternoon? Although he had been demoted, he was still a legion commander, and with many years of military service With such qualifications, even the Minister of Military Affairs wouldn't care if he was too joking, let alone a guy like Horus who was promoted unexpectedly!

If he hadn't taken into account the importance of this battle and had worked hard to pursue it for half a month, Stannis might have turned around and left immediately. It would be a shame to cooperate with such a frivolous and rude guy!

"Sir, actually you shouldn't irritate Lord Stanis!" On the way back to his army, an adjutant who was following Herus cautiously approached and said.

"After all, he is a veteran in the Nord army. From the fact that he lied about his military exploits and was only demoted, it can be seen that in the heart of His Majesty the King, he is still very lenient to a veteran like him who has fought for Nord for his whole life!"

"Of course I know this! But as the veteran who is my pillar in the southern region, Stannis's fearless courage has passed with the years. Now the Falcon Army is aggressive on the southern coast. If we can't inspire this With the fighting spirit of the veterans, it is impossible for our Fourth Army to defend this coast that is hundreds of miles long!"

Horus smiled flatly at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, his face no longer had the perverse and domineering look before, but a deep solemn look.

"Noras, do you think we can win this time?" Khrus suddenly turned his head and asked the adjutant who was following closely behind him. He was a young man with a pale face, like the kind of person who hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time. The kind of young nobles like the sun can be said to be caught in large numbers in Nord Kyoto, but for this young man called Noras, Herus showed great importance, and his kind of speech was more like Ask your teachers for advice

"This time?" The adjutant named Noras was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "Sir, are you referring to the battle that is about to begin? We have 40,000 people, while the enemy only has 5,000 people. No matter how you look at it, we are all It shouldn’t fail, sir, are you worrying too much?”

"Don't tell me these useless words. Salton put so much effort into sending you to me for punishment in Kyoto. He must not have just told me this!"

Horus choked up with some dissatisfaction, "You know what I am referring to. This time His Majesty personally led a hundred thousand elites to raid the southern part of the Falcon Dynasty. Although the battle report said that it was a series of victories, you and I both know very well that the battle situation is not the same. Not as smooth as we imagined,

Herus paused for a moment and said, "It is said that the army of that Scarlet Erdo guy was stubbornly blocked by the local defenders in the Zhiva Cheze area and advanced slowly. As for Dillens, our main force of Nord was defeated after several bloody battles. Just occupying the outer defense line of Dillensburg, although it seems to be going well overall, this is what is worrying! "

"Sir, are you talking about the movements of the main force of the Falcon Army?" A thought flashed in Noras's eyes, and then he shook his head and said helplessly.

"To be honest, I really don't know what the Falcon Army is planning. I once predicted that the Vekia Falcon would set traps in Zhiva Cheze and Dylans, but from the current point of view, the Vekia Falcon is not interested in this. The layout of the two places seems to be focused on defense, which is not in line with his usual style."

"The attack is like fire, violent as wind, and one blow can determine the outcome. This guy has no habit of being passively abused. He always hits the enemy where they least expect it, hitting them hard, breaking bones, and peeling off the skin." , so that even if your enemy is not beaten to death, he will definitely be painfully alive. This is what the big gangster does,

But until now, I haven't figured out where the Falcon Army will target their attacks, except for Dylans and Zhiva Cheze," Noras said with a distressed look on his face.

"Haha, forget it, how much does this have to do with us actually!" Herus smiled bitterly. As a garrison in the rear, such problems are indeed far away from them.

"Haha, that's right. That's an issue that only the big shots ahead need to consider. Things on the battlefield are ever-changing, and unexpected changes may occur at any time." Lauras looked helpless and said, "The enemy won't appear here anyway!" "

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that you are a famous crow's mouth in Nord Kyoto," Horus scolded with a smile. The expressions of him and Noras were like best friends, and there was no discernible difference between superiors and subordinates.

From the first day he met Noras, Horus had a feeling of intimacy. Both of them were cynical people. Perhaps this was the reason why Salton sent this punished guy to him.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome. If I came directly from the sea," Khrus raised his finger and pointed in the distance, and said, "If the main force of the Falcon Army suddenly comes from the sea, how can Nord resist? As long as we break through the coast. , our Nord hinterland is nothing more than a flat plain to the Falcon Army. I dare to say that we can take down Nord Kyoto in less than a month!

"Wait a minute, you said the Falcon Army came directly from the sea." Noras looked at Horus with a horrified look on his face. "Are you sure this is possible?"

"What, can't it?" Herus said with a bit of pride on his face, holding his head high, "You don't know, when I was young, I had imagined this, and together with Salton we wrote a report and submitted it to the , but was scolded by the teacher as a lunatic. It’s a pity that such excellent tactics were buried like this!”

"

"Did you mention how to deal with it in your report?"

"No, what I was thinking was to go around and hit Salander."

"So, what should we do now? For example, I saw a lot of boats... q! on the sea.
