Realm of Power

The shouts of "enemy attack" from the top of the city spread like a spreading plague. The Rotoku Kyoto that had just calmed down suddenly became lively.

"Is this the horn of war?" The citizens of Rode, who were still drinking and celebrating on the road, all stopped. The music and dances loudly cheering for the victory stopped and they heard the sound of battle horns everywhere. , first the north wall, which is most vulnerable to attack, then the east wall and the south wall, it seems that the entire Kyoto is caught in an extremely fierce battle.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that we repelled the Falcon Army? How come we were surrounded again just after a glass of wine?" The citizens of Kyoto looked at the busy mobilizing troops around them in confusion. There were billowing black smoke everywhere, snap. "There was a violent shaking sound, and a round object with a tail of flames passed through the sky above the city wall.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A convoy transporting supplies for city defense rushed from the front of the team. Because the speed was too fast, or the riders above were in a panic and didn't choose the right path.

The carriage loaded with goods was less than 2 meters away from the crowd. The wheels of the carriage turned and hit a raised soil slope on the left side of the road. Only a fierce crash was heard, and the whole carriage trembled violently before completely falling. It fell apart, and there was a creaking sound from the rutted position where it bore the weight. The hill-like wooden barrels piled on it fell down like an avalanche. The nearby Kyoto citizens were unable to dodge. Many people were hit by the rolling wooden barrels. The barrel fell to the ground

"Damn it, you want to hit someone to death?" A Lud man who was already a little drunk angrily smashed the earthenware wine glass in his hand on the ground. The pottery pieces scattered everywhere, just like the ones behind him. A virtuous Kyoto native with complicated and difficult-to-understand emotions,

"What are you doing? This is munitions. Do munitions know that if you block munitions, you will be beheaded?" A man covered in dust crawled out from under the overturned seat. He cursed loudly and reprimanded... Update }Hearing the driver mention the word munitions, the surrounding Rode citizens immediately surrounded him.

"We don't care what munitions you have or not. I just want to ask you one thing. Is the trombone that sounded just now the enemy's attack?" The citizen grabbed the collar of the embarrassed officer. Asked loudly and eagerly,

"Let's think... let's think about it." The officer in charge of escorting supplies was about thirty years old. He saw more and more people gathering around him, and his face became paler and paler. Because he refused to allow prisoners to enter the city because of the empire's relationship, the city's defenders had a close relationship with Kyoto. Citizens did not appear to be very friendly with each other, and officers were beaten from time to time. Being surrounded by so many people all of a sudden, and under the eyes of countless pairs of reproachful eyes, even the most courageous person will feel terrified.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that the Falcon Army has been defeated and withdrawn by us?" All kinds of questions made this place look like a grocery store.

"It is true that they have withdrawn. At least the Falcon Army was not seen in the morning." The German officer who was grabbed by the collar said firmly. "We don't know what the situation is. I am from the Third Flag Regiment of the Armed Forces. I am Just follow the order to transport the needed things to No. 51 East Lanwick Street."

The citizens immediately became riotous and besieged the city for a month and a half. Although the city is still holding on, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult. The shortage of food has caused the price of wheat to rise three times a day in the city. Many small and medium-sized citizens have begun to fall into famine. There are even rumors in some neighborhoods that ferocious cannibals have been discovered.

At this moment, a galloping scout cavalry rushed past the crowd shouting, "The enemy is attacking, the Falcon Army is attacking the city, all armament soldiers will immediately return to their posts on the city wall. Delays will be dealt with according to military law." The white cloak worn by the scout cavalry looked so dazzling at the moment, and the horse hooves were flying,

"Hell, it's another war, how long will this continue?" Some Nords cursed in a low voice in frustration. They are the members of the Armed Forces that the scout cavalry just mentioned. They are euphemistically called the Armed Forces, but in fact they are cannon fodder used to delay time when necessary. Under the deliberate propaganda of Lud's official, the Falcon Army has long become butchers, executioners, and girls. synonym for destroyer,

Anyway, in one sentence), from 1-year-old babies to old people who have not yet breathed their last breath, they are all the targets that the Falcon Army likes to kill. The day they break through Rotoku Kyoto will be the day of massacre. If you don’t want to die, I will kill you. Contribute your last bit of value

The Rode garrison used this method to force the citizens of Rode who had great complaints against the army to perform various obligations, such as risking arrows to repair the collapsed city wall. Transporting the materials needed to defend the city and transporting wounded soldiers off the city walls, the citizens of Ruode Kyoto dared not speak out in anger at the forceful apportionment of the army.

The Ministry of Military Affairs recruited another 50,000 people from the citizens to form the so-called resistance army. Once the defenders on the city wall could no longer hold it, these temporarily formed military teams were used to take over.

"I don't know either. I can only say that I hope God can protect me." Under the siege of everyone, Officer Rode didn't care that the carriage rolled over and crushed one of his legs, leaving him limping. It's really funny

When Dusage ran to the crenellation of the city wall, a full fifteen minutes had passed since the warning of enemy attack was issued. When he came to the observation crenellation of the city wall, Dusage took the cold-proof cloak from the adjutant's hand, and then asked "Have you found out clearly? How many people did the enemy send this time?"

"About fifty thousand people," the adjutant next to him replied in a low voice.

"Fifty thousand people? Could it be that with just 50,000 people, the Vekia Falcons want to capture the Kyoto of our Lod people? They are so delusional that they want to come, so they must gather all the troops immediately. I want to teach the Falcon Army a harsh lesson." Dusage smiled contemptuously, but the adjutant continued with an ugly expression, "Sir, you are mistaken. I did not mean that the Falcon Army only dispatched 50,000 people, but 50,000 people in each direction."

"Whose report is this nonsense?" Dusag just showed a hint of relief and his face suddenly turned livid. He turned around furiously and cursed his adjutant loudly. "Yager, as a king, you should know how to lie about military information. What are the consequences of shaking the morale of the army? There are no less than 50,000 siege troops on the three walls at the same time. Do you know what it means? It means that we are being attacked by a full force of 150,000 Falcon troops. 150,000, that is all of us Three times the size of the defenders"

"But sir, I really didn't lie," the adjutant reported with a dumbfounded look. "Although I don't know why the Falcon Army has so many extra troops, if you look at the other party's ratio of one phalanx for every five thousand people, Look, no matter which city wall we are facing, we are facing ten phalanxes. I can assure you with my own head and reputation that I have checked it myself. It is absolutely correct that the Falcon Army is going to do it this time. Kyoto was captured in one fell swoop.”

Seeing the adjutant's confident expression, Dusag's expression finally changed. 150,000 Falcon Army. Does this battle still need to be fought? With the 50,000 defenders with low morale, I am afraid that just the news will be enough to make most of the soldiers feel depressed. They have been frightened by the Falcon Army, especially the recent ones. Continuous harassment has brought both fighting will and spirit to the verge of collapse.

At this time, from the side of the battlement where he was standing. A shrill shout came, "The Falcon Army is coming up." I could see it in the white mist-like drizzle in the distance.

Ten neatly arranged phalanxes, pushing hundreds of tall buildings, slowly emerged from the rain. Countless spears were moving like a dense forest. The majestic phalanxes brought a wave of destruction to everything. The breath slowly approaches the direction of the Kyoto city wall.

"Archers Preparing" As usual on the city wall, archers began to stand in the shooting position at the battlements. I saw many archers carrying large shields as big as door panels, standing neatly in a prominent position at the entrance of the battlements, holding composite and lengthened strong bows in their hands. Carrying huge shields behind them that could cover their bodies, they stood in front of the crenel like brave warriors who risked their lives generously. (Grain Net)

Following the commander's command, the Rode archers all raised their compound bows upwards and "shoot." Then with the command, a whole bunch of arrows shot out like a torrential rain, quickly covering the white mist in the sky. Like falling rain, it fell on the entire line of the Falcon Army, in this terrible metal storm. The flesh and blood bodies without the protection of armor and shields were as fragile as paper. "Ah" I saw the whole row of Falcon Lancers falling down.

"assault"

The blood-smelling screams of the Falcon Army rang out from the city. Under the intensive rain of arrows, the enemies who encountered them not only had no intention of stopping their advance, but instead seemed to be going crazy, and all of them rushed over at once.

"Shoot. Don't let them get close to the city wall." The Nord defenders also panicked. Although they were still hundreds of meters away, they could clearly feel the murderous red eyes of the Falcon Lancers. If these fearless soldiers were allowed to When the dead spearmen rush onto the city wall, the entire defense line will collapse.

At the entrance of the city battlements, countless Rode archers kept drawing their bows, and then heard the sound of dense bow strings vibrating. Arrow clusters drew white lines in the rain curtain, forming a breathtaking scene. of wonders,

I saw screams, groans, blood, and death from the enemies below the city. The panicked men and horses trampled each other, the sound of horse hooves, and screams. Arrows flew like locusts, and the Rode archers on the city wall shot an arrow cluster every time. , will immediately turn around. At this time, the shield behind the archer, which is comparable to a door panel, is like a super barrier to protect itself. Unless it is shot by a trebuchet or a powerful crossbow, the archer can leisurely continue again Turn around and shoot an arrow,

This is the experience summed up by the Rhodians from several battles with the Falcon Army. Everyone knows that the Falcon Army has the best crossbows in the world. Often, the opponent has been killed and wounded by the overwhelming crossbow arrows like locusts before actual contact. piece,

In siege battles, the lightly-armed archer troops have always been the focus of the Falcon Army's crossbowmen. However, with the strong rise of the Falcon Dynasty, scenes of arrows flying across the sky have become more and more frequent, and are no longer the focus. The situation of being completely suppressed at the beginning

Archers are a weak arm in the Ikadiva continent. The traditional arms of the Ikadiva continent are heavy infantry and heavy knights. Although archers have powerful compound bows with good range and penetration, training is difficult. Due to the inherent difficulty in posing a fatal threat to heavy-armed troops, the mainland countries have always looked down upon archers. Often in battles, only one knight squadron can disperse all the opponent's archer troops.

However, the rapid rise of the Falcon Dynasty's crossbow troops forced all countries to train their own archers to compete with the new crossbow troops of the Falcon Dynasty. The Loder people, who have always been known as a country of warriors, are obviously very He is good at understanding the opportunism of war through clumsiness. This kind of archer carrying a door panel and shield is enough to give a lightly armored archer without protection ability a very mobile and flexible protection ability.

The dense rain of arrows caused heavy losses to the Falcon Army formation that was the first to approach the city wall. At least half of the soldiers were lying on the road near the city wall, but it also gave other formations time to approach. Layers upon layers of corpses piled up into small mounds, and the gurgling blood turned into apricots, dyeing the vast muddy area of ​​a hundred meters in front of the city wall red.

"Damn it. What the hell are these Falcons doing?" Dusage looked angrily and threw the request for help from the south wall to the ground. In just one hour, almost both the south and east walls of Kyoto were attacked. The falcon army launched a fierce attack regardless of life and death,

Although the defending troops inflicted considerable damage on the Falcon Army based on the city wall, which was estimated to be at least around 10,000 people, the Falcon Army continued to fight, seemingly determined not to give up until they were killed on the Kyoto city wall. But the North Gate, which should be the most likely to be attacked, is peaceful. Looking from the battlements of the North Gate,

The solemn Falcon Army formed ten large square formations of 5,000 people. Under the banner of the huge Falcon Station, the Vekia Falcon wore a horned and eagle-winged helmet in the shape of its own devil, and wore a Falcon family crest painted on its body. Zhang wears silver-white armor with white thorn flowers, and carries a shark-skin Samor sword on his waist. The handle of the sword is inlaid with seven colorful gems representing the colors of the sun. The whole person is in the white rain curtain, giving people a strong visual impact

Not to mention riding a giant Poseidon war horse with excellent pedigree like a giant beast. This kind of war horse is a specialty of Dongting Grassland. There are very few in number, and the body is tall and heavy. As a war horse, it lacks certain maneuverability. But if it is used as a decorative war horse, it is perfect. It is half a neck higher than other war horses, making it easier for the knight riding on it. It looks extremely mighty, just like those legendary warriors who can conquer evil dragons,

Such an exaggerated shape, coupled with the bloody battle flag behind him, makes people dare not look at it. As well as a row of 2,000 ferocious black-armored Guards Cavalry and 50,000 elite soldiers in black armor behind him, it is enough to show that the Vecchia Falcon and the most elite main force under his command are at the North Gate, which caused Kyoto to One-half of the defensive forces had to be concentrated in this direction, even though the other two city walls were being fought in full swing, and the enemy was allowed to rush onto the city walls several times.

Dusage would never dare to mobilize troops from the north to rescue him, because the generals on the mainland all know that the style of the Vecia Falcon has always been like this. If it doesn't move, once it attacks, it will definitely turn the world upside down and make people unable to fight back. There was no room left. Dusage didn't know what the opposite Vekia Falcon was waiting for, but he knew that once it moved, it would be the final decision. At this moment, he even felt a little proud. Being able to compete with the mainland's number one general, Vecia Falcon, was probably something that countless famous generals both longed for and feared.

The fat man stood on a high mountain facing the Rotoku Kyoto, frowning, and looked at the fierce battle below with a deep gaze. The Kyoto defenders probably didn't expect that the real person of the Vekia Falcon was not there at all. The north gate is instead in the east gate area where the battle has been turned upside down. Behind the fierce fighting in the front, an assault force composed of 20,000 elite Central Army troops has been lurking here all afternoon.

The fat man looked up at the falling raindrops in the sky. Two hours had passed, and he saw that the so-called Liberation Army, composed of Luode prisoners, had stormed the city wall several times, but was driven down because they failed to follow up. In vain, they left behind a pile of corpses that looked like black spots. These were the Liberation Army composed of miscellaneous troops and citizens. They were indeed too weak in terms of combat power.

All I know is to rush upward blindly, which is commendable for courage, but the combat ability is really low. Just like the city wall in front of you, you only need to concentrate your troops, open a gap at two points, and then encircle the middle of the gap to gain control of the city wall. , but these guys just wanted to die at one point, leaving countless corpses lying around. They almost even blocked that section of the city wall, but they were still driven down.

"We can't wait any longer." The fat man turned to Hu Keqili, who was standing behind him. "The attack power of these Rode prisoners is too weak. Let the siege thunder god concentrate on bombarding the east end of the city wall. Otherwise, we won't fight until tomorrow."

As the order was issued, hundreds of thunder god shooters located on the mountainside began to quickly clear away the leaves and weeds used to cover up the giant thunder god. On the mountainside full of shrubs and trees, no one found four huge black cannons exposed. mouth,

"Distance 381 meters, left rotation 63 degrees, height 32" a rangefinder read loudly in front, the Thor soldier laboriously began to adjust the angle of the muzzle, watching these giant cannons slowly rise upwards Starting, everyone felt an indescribable shock in their hearts. They were looking forward to it. If this kind of thing were launched, I don’t know what kind of power it would be.

Siege thunder gods, super-heavy artillery built for destruction, these huge guys specially transported from Zhivadin, the muzzle alone is as thick as a human waist, and the huge and heavy shells even need to be transported by horse-drawn carriages. This is The peak existence in the Falcon Dynasty Thor sequence, with huge power enough to destroy the strongest city wall in the modern era. To be continued
