Realm of Power

~\u003c ~ 989

"No, Your Highness, I am completely loyal."

Fat Rose's legs were weak. Hearing the prince say that if the Falcon Army did not stop shelling by sunset, he would be beheaded. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.

If it hadn't been for the few prince guards behind him to lift him up, he would be a ball of mud on the ground now. Would the Falcon Army's artillery fire really stop before sunset? Fat Ross can guarantee it with his blue fat intestines that he already regrets. , it’s definitely a matter of character,

The Falcon Army's Thor will indeed stop due to overuse, but whether it will stop one door or all of a sudden. Even if Fat Ross is a mechanical genius, he will never be able to make an accurate judgment, because this It no longer only depends on the strength of the opponent's Thor. Each cannon has a different forging level and the time it can continue to fire is also different.

"Really? Then let the afterglow of the setting sun test your loyalty."

Prince Agrafiton looked at Fatos' innocent and pale face unmoved, raised the riding crop inlaid with blue-red gems in his hand, and ordered to the guards, "Take him down, remember, if you see someone after sunset, Use the thunder god's fire to kill him immediately on the spot because it was his wrong judgment that caused our army to stop moving forward and miss the opportunity to counterattack."

"Spare your life..." Fat Ross was dragged away by several tall and strong prince guards. Their miserable wails made the generals of Rode standing behind the prince all look pale and embarrassed.

They looked at Fat Ross with complicated eyes. His Royal Highness the Prince was so irresponsible that he did not even give anyone a chance to defend himself. It was like this big hat of defeated culprit was placed on Fat Ross's head. He was obviously looking for a scapegoat. Now Whoever comes forward will be the scapegoat in the eyes of the prince.

At this point, the Nord generals all know that His Royal Highness the Prince has always been ruthless. What's more, under the current circumstances, the decisive battle out of the city suffered heavy losses and the army suffered numerous casualties in the first battle. Who would dare to place their lives and hopes for the kingdom's revival in the future? He was undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the prince who was in desperate need of recognition.

At this stage of the fierce battle, the tens of thousands of forwards invested in the early stage have almost completely lost contact, and their lives and deaths are unknown. However, look at the Thunder God incendiary bombs that the Falcon Army dropped like hail and the arrow clusters that poured down like a torrential rain. Even with their feet, One can also imagine what will happen to the forward troops under such a blow.

That was an army of tens of thousands, including about 10,000 elite troops. They were sent out like this without anyone to contact them. They could not move forward or retreat. Only those who could escape alive from the desperate army were I haven’t seen anyone. For such a big scapegoat, someone must be needed to take the blame.

At this moment, God was obviously taking good care of the frightened Weapons Director of the German Military Affairs Department. Just when the sun was only a third of a flaming round face on the distant horizon, a miracle happened. As the Thor incendiary bomb was fired, a dazzling and scorching light was emitted 50 meters away from the front. The gravel was mixed with soil and hit the shields of the front row of Rode infantry.

The whole world seemed to be silent for a moment. For ten minutes, there were no more black spots flying in the sky, and there was no roar of explosions on the ground. It was so quiet that you could even hear the night wind blowing across the area in front of you as night fell. the sound of flat land

"Oh God, the Falcon Army's Thunder God has finally stopped." Almost the same voice sounded in the hearts of all the Roders, and Prince Yagfeton, who had almost zero strategy, shouted excitedly,

"Go forward, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter opportunity." He immediately ordered the army to fully engage in counterattack. Although some experienced generals Rode said that they should wait and see the situation, but Prince Yagfeton still stubbornly insisted.

"Do you still remember the first sentence recorded in the war drill of Roode Military Academy? The dawn of victory is like a meteor falling from the sky. Only those who bravely catch the tail of the meteor can obtain the final glory. Now, we are Those who dare to seize the tail of the meteor will advance and order all the troops to advance to crush them with our absolute superior force."

"Our forward troops have not withdrawn yet. We should withdraw them first. The enemy's layout is also unclear. If we throw all our strength into the battlefield at this time, it will be easy to plunge into the enemy's trap."

The veteran Boasad stood up from behind with a stubborn look and stopped the prince's horse. He originally did not have to fight, but because of his uncooperative attitude during the mutiny at the Ministry of Military Affairs, Prince Agfiton Very unhappy, what is orthodoxy? What is the courage of the Lud people?

Yagfiton took him with him just to let this veteran of the German military see clearly that compared with Yagolluk, he was no less strategically inferior. Since Yagolluk was defeated by Wiki In the hands of the Asian Falcon, then you will defeat the Vecian Falcon and let all the Roder people see that you are the best candidate for the throne of Roder.

"What do you know? After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the Falcon Army must have been exhausted. In front of my army that is rolling forward like an iron stream, these cowardly Northern Falcon Army are nothing. Now I will let you see, What do you mean by the bravery of my Rode people?"

Prince Agfiton ordered his guards to take away the veteran who stood in front of him, and issued the order for a general attack disapprovingly. He completely ignored the angry and pale face of the veteran Boasad.

"Your Highness, you are forcing the Nords to the final desperation." Boasad was forcibly taken away by the guards and cursed angrily. However, the main force of nearly 100,000 Nords that had been assembled still did not respond after the order was issued. Start moving forward,

"go ahead"

A group of 100,000 people moved towards the area covered by Thunder God's artillery fire. Because the sky was dark, the entire area was lit with torches. As the darkness on the ground dissipated, the tragic Shura field in front was also revealed.

"Hissing!" There was a sound of gasping and nauseating retching. The excitement that the Lud people had just mentioned suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. Tens of thousands of burnt corpses were like coke, lying in various directions with the flames and flames still remaining. There is no such thing as a burnt-smelling midline lot. There are countless unrecognizable severed limbs. It is hard to believe that a few hours ago these were still alive and called people. The burning smell that hits your face is nauseating because there are too many corpses. The German troops had to choose to slow down their advance.

On the high slope of the ridge, the fat man squinted his eyes and looked at the black earth in front of him. The firelights like stars in the sky almost covered the ground level about 300 meters in front of him. They were the advancing array of the Roder people. The number of tens of thousands of people crammed into such a small surface is enough to be called a spectacle.

"Could it be that the German army can't even find a qualified commander?"

At this moment, Fatty even felt a little depressed. The opponent's commander's mental retardation had made him feel a little bored, just like two chess players who were supposed to be equally matched, but suddenly discovered that the other one was making frequent mistakes. When you are new, the winning side will also feel a little bored.

"Order all troops to move one hundred and fifty meters in front, and in ten minutes, cover and eject." The fat man raised his hand under the light of the torch, and the messenger behind him quickly moved away.

The orders from His Majesty Falcon were relayed layer by layer. Seeing the crowds of people sweeping in ahead like a river of stars in the sky, the squadron captains standing in the crossbow formation raised their hands one after another.

Behind them, 20,000 skilled crossbowmen of the Central Army were arranged in several rows on the higher edge of the terrain. Countless crossbows raised their arms in response to the shouts of the captains.

"Sniper Longbow Formation"

The sniper formation of several huge crossbowmen spread out in an orderly manner from the center to both sides, like a huge and powerful falcon wings, in a nearly fully open V shape, more than a hundred people directly ahead. The more than 100,000 Rode troops meters away spread out their arms of death,

"Attack" saw the instruction flag from the top of the mountain fall. Almost at the same time, all the crossbow troops sounded the same voice, "Crash". The sound of 20,000 powerful bow strings vibrating even shook the entire space. It was a A very strange feeling, like the air is boiling and jumping at this moment,

If you have not experienced it personally, it is difficult to imagine how shocking it is to feel tens of thousands of bowstrings trembling and tearing at the same moment. A dense and terrifying black cloud instantly covered the sky, and the metal arrows were still there even in the evening after sunset. A chilling light flashed in the sky, like the brilliant stars above, suddenly turning into a howling rain of death.

Immediately afterwards, the hundreds of trebuchets on the top of the ridge let out their own roars, and the sound of the trebuchet springs cracking continued,

Countless boulders with various sharp angles, like a flock of birds suddenly flying through the air, fell from the sky with a shrill sound of wind, and struck like thunder into the Rode crowd who were advancing steadily against the rain of arrows.

The temporarily formed Rode spearmen were unable to even dodge. Due to the short time and lack of weapons, many soldiers did not have any protective measures. They were only given a low-quality spear and were sent to the front line of the attack. It is completely unable to withstand such intensive terrorist attacks that are overwhelming to manpower.

"Pop!" With the heavy sound of hitting the ground, countless huge oval stones, like exploding water splashes, rolled through their dense queue. The soldiers on the entire road were instantly overwhelmed. The boulder weighing a thousand kilograms was crushed into pulp, and the brains were scattered. The minced meat flew everywhere, and behind the rolling boulders, there were strips of bloody minced meat residue. This terrifying effect was dozens of times more shocking than the actual killing effect.

It was the first time for many Rode soldiers to go to the battlefield, let alone plunge into the blocking longbow formation known as the killing formation, facing the arrow clusters shooting from all directions, such a terrifying trebuchet explosive coverage ,

Seeing their companions being shot through by arrows one by one, or being crushed into pieces by giant slingshots, the pitiful shouts were like a huge sense of terror, which instantly controlled their already terrified hearts. Under the attack of arrow clusters and sling bombs, the attack line of a hundred thousand troops was like a smashed walnut shell, with countless fragments. The first to collapse were the new recruits composed of Kyoto citizens.

"Mom, run for your life"

The completely stunned Rode recruits screamed hysterically. They dropped their weapons and scattered with their heads in their hands. Even some neatly arranged shield formations were torn apart under the intensive blows of stone throws. The defeated soldiers looked like The entire low-lying area in the middle line is filled with sheep grazing wildly.

"Shoot, kill anyone who retreats without permission"

The supervising team at the rear once again showed its decisiveness and bravery that was not inferior to that of the enemy. Amid the hoarse shouts of the commander, the 5,000 Rohde heavy archers raised their powerful infantry heavy bows into the air one after another.

Those who can supervise the battle team are naturally subordinates of the prince, so they can execute orders without any hesitation.

"Shoot, kill anyone who retreats"

In their eyes, there are no themselves or enemies, only deserters and soldiers. Facing their own soldiers who ran back, the phalanx of archers in the direction of the supervising team fired thousands of arrows, and black raindrops roared towards them.

"Bah, bang, bang!" Rode's troops shot down a large area in the middle line full of corpses. Those soldiers who screamed and fell to the ground with arrows opened their eyes wide. They still could not believe this fact until they died. "They died in their own homes." on human hands

"Go back. If you don't want to die, go back."

The last row of Rode Ax warriors in charge of holding down the formation did not hesitate to draw out their battle axes, and kept driving the soldiers backwards. They did not treat their own subordinates at all, kicking them with their feet, or slashing them with their battle axes.

Because according to the Rode military system, Commander Rode has the right to decide the life and death of soldiers, not to mention the cruel punishment of horse trampling on defeated troops and deserters. It is better to let these routed troops die under his own battle ax than to die. It's much better under the heavy hooves of the law enforcement team.

To retreat is death, and to advance is even more death. The oncoming rocks and arrows were like a violent storm. It was hard to imagine that any living thing could survive such a blow. Layers of corpses piled up into hills, and blood gurgled into rivers, turning the slopes of the ridge into death. It was like hell. The wounded soldiers were pressed among the corpses and screamed for help. No one had time to pay attention.

Having learned from the past, the Rode soldiers who came up later became obviously much more courageous. Under the leadership of some phalanxes with elite troops, they even formed a wave attack formation.

Some experienced generals of Rode arranged the spear infantry into a long queue. When attacking, the queues advanced layer by layer. From a distance, they looked like waves rolling forward. When encountering the enemy's obstruction, they would pile up layer by layer. , until the enemy’s queue is crushed,

The Lod's attack line rolled up like a wave, and then hit the defense line composed of the Falcon Army's dense spears. If the shattered water spray became scattered, new waves would follow.

"Kill, kill, kill" The world was filled with terrifying shocking sounds. Boulders and arrows as dense as raindrops violently bombarded the sea of ​​people again, like waves hitting the hard rock wall, turning into splashes. The horror was bright red, and the sounds of "puff, puff, puff" of sharp weapons stabbing and bones breaking came and went, just like the waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing.

This looks like an upright decisive battle formation, but it is actually a formation with extremely sharp attacks. It uses absolutely powerful troops to force the enemy to extend the front line to compete with it, and then presses over like mercury pouring down the ground.

Under the squeeze of this seemingly balanced force, the first thing to be pushed over is definitely the weak position in the enemy's queue. The continuous surge of spearmen will be like a snowball, directly submerging the enemy's rear with the momentum of a torrent. In the face of such accumulated and powerful power, the defeated party will not have any chance to come back.

"Your Majesty, our army's left and right wings have blocked the enemy's advance, and the battle line is currently stable." A Guards Cavalry galloped over and knelt down in front of the fat man to report the battle situation. "The enemy troops on the center line have the largest number. Although the losses are huge, Still forced to advance to a position less than 30 meters away from our army, the two armies are about to engage in a close combat. Lord Salon specifically asked for instructions whether to carry out a counterattack."

"The German army actually advanced to the center line?" The fat man turned his head in surprise and looked at the center line that Salon was responsible for from a distance. There were torches all over the mountains and the fierce sounds of fighting came with the wind. The advancing array composed of torches was almost as big as The central ridge held by Salon's army is close to each other.

"What is this guy Salon doing? With his military strength, how could such a situation happen?"

The fat man's face was full of confusion. Although Salon's army was not the Central Army, because it was the northern border defense army, its equipment was second only to the Central Army. It had strong combat power, strong soldiers and horses, and the two support flag regiments that had been transferred from the past. How could they, numbering 40,000, be forcibly pushed to such a close distance by a swarm of motley German troops?

At this time, another Guards Cavalry came quickly. "The center line has been engaged with the German army. Lord Salon felt great pressure and requested an immediate counterattack."

"Asshole, this guy must have done it on purpose." The fat man threw the battle report in his hand heavily to the ground. He knew what Salon wanted to do. This guy actually put the entire front in danger in order to gain the glory of occupying Nodoku Kyoto. ,

Although the center line has the strongest defense, it is also the most important. Once it is forcibly broken through by the Luds, it will not only crisis the two wings, but also cause the entire battle situation to reverse. In this situation, even if you feel that the time is not yet ripe, you will Resolutely ordered the counterattack troops ambushing behind the ridge to be brought in.

"Order, first, the Second Guards Cavalry Flag Regiment and the Duoweiyan Cavalry immediately launch a counterattack, form a pincer attack on the enemy from the left and right wings, ignore other troops, and go straight into the enemy's formation." The battle situation is so fierce that Fatty can't control it. So much. If Salon is to be punished, it will be done after the war. Since there is no choice, the only choice is to fight back in advance.

The Rode people in the fierce battle suddenly saw a strange black line. In the hazy night, black lines emerged from the edge of the ridge, and a dark and messy large area stretched into the infinite distance.

Groups of cavalry began to rush down like a huge arc. The air was suffocated and solidified at this moment. The brilliance of the metal shone with the aura of killing. The black sky also became bright at this moment, and a layer of golden light appeared in the east. ,

Countless black spots continued to appear on the hills above their heads. Under the horses' hooves was the mist that had not completely dissipated. The scimitar in their hands formed a forest of cold light in the mist.

"kill"

The earth trembled at this moment, and the 40,000 cavalrymen were like a sea of ​​war horses. The secret warhorse armor flashed a cold and ruthless light
