Realm of Power

971

After leading his own guards to fight on the front line, Varisien returned to the position where the legion commander should be. A group of shield walls quickly stopped the Nord infantry chasing behind him. Varisien The war horses, which were almost dyed red, rushed into the rear of the formation, followed by the cavalry of the Guards who accompanied them. The war horses turned like a strong wind,

"Sir, it's too dangerous for you to do this!"

An adjutant pulled the reins of Varisian's horse, and other soldiers quickly pulled the horses of the ground guards. Because they were wearing heavy armor, many guards rushed into the safe place within the formation and then rushed from there. It fell from above, and during the impact just now, 200 people fell out, but less than 50 people came back alive, and all of them looked exhausted.

The battle situation that seemed to be balanced at the beginning, as time went on and the fierce fighting continued to heat up, suddenly turned sharply after the Rotoku Imperial Guards were fully committed. No one expected that Rotoku Kyoto, which seemed to be in danger, would suddenly pull out so many troops. Come on, the number of troops deployed by the Rohde people in the counterattack this time is definitely more than 80,000.

Especially the powerful Lod Guards. These guards wear heavy armor that is so thick that they cannot be penetrated, and they wield heavy battle axes that are simply irresistible. They are like heavy killing machines that hunt and hunt. The shield array of the Eagle Army crushed it,

Even though the Falcon Soldiers are heroic resisters, they can only be sacrificed in vain when encountering such monsters. Wherever the Rode Guards have attacked, there are often corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

The soldiers who were defeated in the fierce battle retreated in panic along the hillside behind them. At the foot of the hillside, the commanders of the Falcon Army at all levels were shouting loudly to regroup the defeated troops.

After more than half a day of fierce fighting, the Varisian Legion, which has 6 flag regiments, currently only has 3 flag regiments in the center that are still fighting, and most of them have been defeated by the constant attacks of the German army. They gathered together again and invested, but were defeated again! The right wing collapsed, and the left wing collapsed. Not to mention the thin flank, even this formation was under the fierce attack of the main force of the German army. It was like a small boat swaying in the storm, and could be swallowed by the waves at any time. danger,

"All guards mount up with me!"

Varisien dragged his exhausted body and used his right hand to tie the knots of the heavy general's armor tightly while shouting loudly. After hearing the order, the guards cavalry who were still resting also picked up the chipped armor from the ground. Spears and sabers, mount their horses and attack again,

"Sir, we can't continue to consume like this!"

A banner commander firmly held the reins of Varisien's horse and persuaded with a cold look, "The combat effectiveness of the Nord Guards is too terrifying. Although there are only a few thousand people, they can easily defeat our defense line.

However, we can only use the number of people to consume their physical strength, and we will not have the chance to kill them until they are exhausted. However, our army cannot hold on to that point. One-third of the legion has been lost, and the morale of the army is about to drop to a dangerous level. To such an extent, if we continue to fight reluctantly, we are in danger of collapse. "

"If you can't insist, you must insist on me!"

Varisien glanced at him with his bloodshot eyes, and calmly inserted the chipped Samor sword into the scabbard with a slow and solemn gesture.

The blade of the sword was submerged into the scabbard, and it made a clear chirping sound, as clear and crisp as the chirping of birds in the forest in the early morning.

Varisien said in a solemn voice, "With our own legion, we can hold back the last main force of the German army and wait for His Majesty's rescue. This is our only way.

Otherwise, in order to preserve our own strength and allow the main force of the German army to protrude from our direction, not only will your Majesty's strategy of siegeing Kyoto be miscalculated, but even if we do not die in the hands of the Germans, Your Majesty will kill you and me. The man bowed his head in public to express his condolences to the tens of thousands of Falcon warriors who have died since the war between Lod and Germany! "

"But...seeing the legion commander's statement, the flag commander's face was full of embarrassment, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. His eyes were a little distracted, because the pistol in Varisien's hand was A long knife with a trace of strange blue light

This sword was a famous sword named "Blue Bird" that His Majesty Falcon personally selected from his five favorite swords when Varisien was promoted to Legion Commander. It is said that this famous sword is the most popular among His Majesty. I love it not only because it is extremely sharp and can cut through iron as well as clay, but also because it contains the ore that craftsmen consider to be the best forging material.

The blade is extremely strong. When it is finished, it will naturally have a hint of tile blue light color at the edge of the blade. It is also one-third longer than the ordinary Samor sword. When held in the hand, it looks like a heavy long sword that can be wielded. , if you are riding on a war horse, the shadow waving by will be a strange and bright blue light under the sunlight, so it was named "Blue Bird" by His Majesty himself.

This is His Majesty the Falcon's favor to Varisien. Normally Varisian would not use this sword that he wanted to keep as a family heirloom. The meaning of taking it out at this moment is self-evident.

"Please legion commander allow his subordinates to follow and attack together!"

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the flag captain knelt down on one knee in front of Varisien and said, following Varisian for many years, he had already clearly sensed Varisian's tone and actions. Sean wanted to fight to the death. Based on his understanding of Varisien, he knew that since Varisien had already made up his mind to fight to the death, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be in vain.

"Okay, you can come too! I will have one more companion on the road!" Varisien nodded solemnly. The flag commander quickly got on his horse and joined the attacking cavalry. A breeze gently carried him. The cavalrymen wore ribbons on their heads. Like countless battle flags raised simultaneously, the whirring sound of the streamers filled the silent air with a suffocating smell of killing.

In the Falcon military community, most people think that Varisian is a smart and changeable person, but the officers who follow Varisian know that Varisian is also a very persistent person, otherwise he would be a very persistent person. Not even knowing the terrain,

So he boldly chased the Western Kugit Khan into the Ruidian people's area and tracked him for three days and three nights. Finally, he killed the lurking Kugit Khan in one fell swoop. During the battle between the Tingren, he forcibly pursued the defeated army of the East Ting all night long. In the end, he unexpectedly encountered Bogorzamu, known as the Wolf King of the East Ting, on the deserted beach. A battle established his reputation as a famous general.

The dazzling halo of many glorious victories has long concealed many real situations that make people think deeply. War is like this. The result determines everything. No matter how capable you are, the most important thing is opportunity. Many people think that Varisien is on the battlefield. My luck is not that good,

Every time he could catch a big fish and every time he could achieve incredible victory, so much so that when someone mentioned Varisien, they gave people the impression that he was good at picking up bargains.

But few people will notice that success and glory never come easily. What people see are only the results, and no one pays attention to the process.

Without Varisien's persistence in winning and his spirit of never giving up, he would not have had this or that opportunity.

It is the persistence of never giving up, the indestructible will, the tenacity on several life-and-death battles, and the ability to grasp the opportunity of the fighter that have created Varisien, who is known as the fox in the Falcon Army.

No one knows what the outcome will be this time. Varisien's good luck of winning may be terminated, or he may continue to follow the good luck and create greater glory.

"You are all my best warriors! It is my honor to be with you."

Varisien raised the "Blue Bird" in his right hand, and looked at the faces of the Guards Cavalry gathered behind him with flickering eyes. There was no wave on the faces of these young cavalry, and there were no traces on the armor on their bodies or on the vests of their horses. It was the blood stains that had not yet been washed away. These outstanding young people attacked again. He didn't know how many of them would come back alive.

Maybe they can launch another attack, or this is the last time. This time is different from before. The Nord army, which has suffered an attack, will take precautions against the attack of the Guards Cavalry.

In the melee of the chaos, the tall stature of the cavalry has always received special attention from the enemy's heavy infantry. In order to delay the impact of the cavalry, the heavy infantry will fight to the death.

Because experienced veterans know very well that once the cavalry loses its speed and impact, it will be an exposed target. The Tomahawk projectile of the Lods has always been the nemesis of close-range cavalry attacks.

Even the heavily armored knights of Reildian, who are known as the strongest defenders on the mainland, will feel terrified in front of the prepared Rode heavy infantry. These warriors who like to use battle axes as weapons and are not afraid of death,

Even the double-layered chain armor and the strength of the war horse could withstand the close-range battle ax projectiles of the Nord heavy infantry.

Not to mention that the Falcon Guards Cavalry gave up part of their protection in pursuit of mobility. In front of the flying Nord tomahawk, mobility would not have much advantage at all. Even if they could gain a little advantage at the beginning, they would still be able to defeat them. Blocked by the steady advance of the Lods

"kill!"

The rushing Guards Cavalry waved their sabers, followed Varisien, and rushed into the ranks of the Lods again. They formed a triangular formation like arrowheads. Although there were only more than 50 people, their faces were unruly and unruly. And the look of contempt for all enemies made them look like invincible enemies. The corpses of the Lods were piled up around them.

The Nord heavy infantry on the opposite side also discovered them and quickly moved closer to the direction of their charge.

"Stop them!" The Rohde heavy infantrymen pulled out short-handled battle axes from their backs. Countless flying short axes struck in the air, and the whistling and harsh sound quickly increased.

"Attention, raise your shield!"

Varisian raised his shield high, and "dang" a short ax struck the shield in Varisian's hand, making a muffled sound like a heavy blow. Even with Varisian's strength, he was struck by this axe. I almost knocked my horse off,

The tomahawk bounced to the side, but the Guards Cavalry next to him was not so lucky. Under the countless tomahawks, the galloping horses under the Guards Cavalry made a tragic neighing sound. Several Guardsmen The cavalry seemed to have hit a transparent wall, and fell heavily from their horses onto the forest of spears on the opposite side. Blood flew everywhere, and countless spears stabbed out from their bodies.

"Tell the forward troops that I will wipe out all this cavalry!"

Seeing the falcon cavalry in the German army charging like trapped animals, Yagrolk clenched his fists in excitement,

There is basically no doubt about the victory of this counterattack. After a day of fierce fighting, less than one-third of the Varisian Army's strength on the main attack surface is left, and both the left and right wings have achieved decisive victories.

The 5,000 Guards Cavalry who fought out halfway had also been defeated in several previous battles and retreated in embarrassment to the southwest. Now they only need to add more force to completely defeat the Falcon Army's last resistance and annihilate them. 60,000 Varisian Legion

“Oh my god, look what that is?”

Just when Yagrolk felt that he was already winning, the officer behind him was shocked, rubbed his eyes, and screamed in horror. He saw a large area of ​​​​wood on the edge of the battle between the two armies. The small black dots are coming here quickly.

The color of these small dots is not consistent with the color of fallen leaves in the autumn forest. They are moving very fast, rolling up bursts of smoke and dust in the yellow fallen leaves. They are obviously a large group of cavalry moving in this direction at high speed.

"It's the cavalry of the Falcon Army!" Yagrork raised his eyebrows and his solemn face sank. Only the Falcon Army can gather such a large-scale cavalry in this area.

This idea also flashed in the minds of the generals behind him. Such a large-scale cavalry, at least more than 10,000 people, once they are killed from the flanks, the suppressed situation of the Falcon Army will be completely reversed.

"What should we do?" Generals Rode looked at each other and felt troubled at the same time. The main force was on the front. The impact of the Falcon Cavalry was well known. Once they discovered the fighting point, they would move closer to this side at all costs. When the time comes, , the encirclement plan will be impossible to complete

"What are you afraid of? It's just a hunting dog that was found based on the sound!"

Yagrolk sneered. With his experience, he quickly saw the problem. The goal of these cavalry was not very clear. Although they ran extremely fast, they spread out in a large arc, like a huge When the net was cast, it didn't look like the kind with a clear assault target. It was obvious that the other party didn't know the specific fighting location yet, but the support troops were called based on the sound.

"The other party seems to have arrived in a hurry!" Yagrolk thought for a moment, raised his hand, and shouted an order behind him, "Order the Third Army of Kyoto to move to the left wing, and tell Ansachs of the Third Army of Kyoto, no matter what No matter what the price, I must stop these rescue cavalry in the woods!"

Soon, the 20,000 Nord troops that were besieging the flank of the Varisian Army turned to the left wing, which had been engaged in several battles and was now littered with corpses. The shield wall of the Nord heavy infantry spread out like a concave arc.

"Sir, the forward scouts discovered a large-scale battle 1,500 meters ahead on the right. Judging from the military flag, it seems to be the battle flag of the Varisian Army. The battle situation is very unfavorable for the Varisian Army! But they also discovered that the German army was heading towards There are signs of mobilization here, they should have discovered us!"

Reand, the commander of the 2nd Falcon Guards Cavalry Regiment, who was responsible for searching for the fighting point along the forest, also received a report of the discovery of the target. He first carefully looked at the surrounding terrain.

"1500 meters ahead on the right, it looks like it's not far away!" Ruian De looked serious, patted the restless war horse lightly on his crotch, then slowly pulled out the saber on his waist and ordered, "Blow the assembly call, target the southwest, order The whole army speeds through this forest, and must break through the German army's obstruction from the flanks at all costs!"

"Woooo" the rapid bugle came from the direction of the forest, and countless black cavalry rushed out from the depths of the forest. In front of them, 20,000 German troops had lined up in a strict queue, waiting for their arrival. ,

"Attention, enemy cavalry has been discovered!" Shouts and orders rang out one after another, countless spears were raised, and in front of them were a large group of cavalry rushing towards them without slowing down. Nervous and heavy breathing sounded as the distance between the two armies quickly closed. It became increasingly clear that the chilling atmosphere was like a snowball that had accumulated to the extreme. The moment the two armies collided with each other, it exploded in an instant.

"Shoot!" With a cry, the Falcon Cavalry in the front row suddenly turned around, and with a round of arms, countless assault crossbows simultaneously made crackling shooting sounds, "Swish, swish, swish!" Countless white lines were like a huge flower. It exploded in front of the Nord army who had no long-range defense. The white line flew into the chest, head, arms and body of the Nord pikemen in the front row, causing the entire row of pikemen to fall to the ground.

"Kill!" The swift cavalry brought up black shadows and crashed into the spears set up by the Luode infantry. The strong bodies of the war horses pressed against them like a whole row of walls.

The men fell on their backs, the Falcon Cavalry above was thrown off, and the Rode pikemen in front were also knocked out. The defense line was turbulent, and the Rode army's defense line seemed to be concentrated by a heavy hammer. Countless black cavalry rushed up without regard for their lives. The light of the Guards cavalry swords was intertwined with the sharp cold light of Rode's spears.

The kings of both sides issued death orders at all costs, which meant that if they could not complete the task, they would have only one result, that is, they would be executed if they failed in the battle.

Therefore, the generals of both sides gave death orders to their troops. The confrontation entered a life-and-death struggle from the beginning. The two armies were intertwined with each other. The strength of the Rode infantry and the impact of the Falcon cavalry were like a sharp sword. The spear struck the strong shield,

It seems that it was a deliberate arrangement by God. The turning point of the battle once again focused on the left wing, so that this battle was called "the life and death line of the left wing" by later generations.

On a slope 50 miles away from the battle site, the fat man stood on his horse and looked up at the sky. The sun had already set half of his body on the horizon, and a deep, dark red twilight enveloped the wilderness.

Green woods, yellow deserts, golden fields and grasslands. Now, they are all covered by the black army formation. It seems that there is only one color left between heaven and earth, that is the black of the main force of the Falcon Army...q!.
