Realm of Power

On March 27, the 3rd year of the Falcon Empire, the cavalry of the Central Army, which set the operational target in Normandy Kyoto, began to arrive. Under the dew of early spring, the falcon battle flag of the Central Army of the Empire appeared with a strong fighting spirit. In the faint morning light, the huge falcon war flag showed its teeth and claws, shocking the Salad Expeditionary Force who were still cleaning the ditch outside the city. fǎngfo divine soldiers descended from the sky, and a rumble of horse hooves rumbled in the distance.

"Attention, line up in front!"

The front line of the expeditionary force was in chaos. In order to resist the emperor's invasion, the commander stationed in Kyoto in Normandy divided the 20,000 troops into two parts. One part was stationed inside the city of Kyoto, while the other part was stationed outside the city of Kyoto, relying on the continuous trenches outside the city. the first line of defense,

"Hurry up, hurry up if you don't want to die!"

Under the loud urging of the officers, the Salander soldiers appeared in the trench. As the distance got closer, the Salander Expeditionary Force in charge of the outer trench began to commotion. Only the long black line of the Central Army cavalry was visible in the distance. like ferocious The tide flowed over the edge of the earth, and the heavy horseshoes came like a landslide. The faces of the soldiers of the expeditionary army were as white as paper with fright. They even did not even have the freedom to issue orders to retreat. In some areas, there was an uncontrollable situation. the rout,

In terms of numbers, they are no less numerous than the Central Army, but the fighting will and combat effectiveness of these expeditionary army soldiers were completely destroyed by wealth and

In the Battle of Southern Salander, the Salander army, which was defeated and captured by the Normans, numbered about 110,000 people. Because there were too many people, the Normans, whose strength was only between 40,000 people, were very decisive. Adopting a policy of reducing their population, they separated out all the people over fifty among the captives, except for the nobles, and killed all the soldiers who were injured and disabled in the battle." "Novel chapter. Also sold as waste to slave traders at low prices,

Otherwise, the rebellion of these captives, who were twice as many as them, would be enough to keep the Normans busy. The Normans used various methods and finally killed more than 20,000 people. They were transported to Normandy because of capsizing and resistance. , more than 5,000 people died, of which about 30,000 were freed. After arriving, they were sold to other countries. In the end, less than 60,000 people stayed in Normandy.

“Oh my god, the cavalry is coming!

Some members of the Salander expeditionary force, looking at the Central Army cavalry still 300 meters away, dropped their weapons in fear and ran back. When they saw someone running away, more soldiers from the expeditionary force were like ants whose nests had been stepped on. They ran out of the trench in a mess, ignoring the harsh scoldings of the officers behind them, and ran swarm towards the Weizhi in Kyoto behind.

"Surge!"

Hu Keqili shouted as he grabbed the fighter plane. Behind them, the cavalry group of the Central Army suddenly burst into the trench area with a flash of lightning. The distance between the trenches in front was not wide, and the war horses only needed to jump across it with a slight jump. Countless sharp swords flashed with sharp white light, which made the expeditionary army's liver and gallbladder burst. Thousands of cavalry came like a tornado, shouting "Kill!"

I was shocked by this power. The soldiers of the crumbling expeditionary force immediately exploded the camp. The entire defense line was under the impact of the Central Army cavalry. It was like being swept across the earth. At the moment of excitement, the strong wind blew down the weak grass everywhere, and corpses lay on the ground.

"It's just as His Majesty said, Kyoto may seem stubborn, but it's actually vulnerable!"

The scene in front of him made Hu Keqili, who led the army, curl his lips in disdain. After Sede defeated the second army of the expeditionary force, Hu Keqili once suggested marching to Fort Tru, but was rejected by the fat man.

The task given to him by the fat man was to directly cross the Trouble Castle and attack the Normandy Kyoto. Hu Keqili once had objections to this, saying that the terrain of Kyoto was difficult, the city walls were high and strong, and there were trenches about ten miles long on the outside. Not suitable for cavalry raids

Regarding Hu Keqili's statement, the fat man smiled faintly, "Kyoto seems to be solid, but in fact it is vulnerable. Any solid fortress will be just a decoration if it is handed over to a group of defenders who have no fighting spirit.

Kyoto is indeed strong, but the defensive soldiers are hard to say. Although these people were once soldiers, they worked as slaves in Normandy for several years and struggled to survive under the whipping of slave owners. Their blood has long since lost the essence of soldiers. Bloody, and then ran rampant in the middle of Normandy, burning, killing and looting for several months. In essence, these people transformed from soldiers into thugs who were worse than ordinary bandits.

The expeditionary force has made a fortune in the looting, and now everyone is spoiled and expensive. Who has the willpower to fight against the cavalry group as fierce as a landslide here? An army that has long forgotten its fighting instincts, at this moment Ruguo Turán was attacked by a group of cavalry, but he was so excited that he didn't know how to fight. This is your chance! Open a gap in the defense line, go all out and follow the defeated army, and you will definitely be able to go straight to Kyoto! "

The tactics instructed by the fat man were very simple. He asked Hu Keqi to concentrate all the cavalry and specifically attack one side of the trench defense line. With an absolutely superior force, he would defeat the organized and organized resistance in a short period of time and use the hoof of horses. trample them to pieces,

At 8:10, the four infantry squadrons on the left wing of the expeditionary force in charge of the trench were killed and defeated. Three squadron captains were killed, and their soldiers were killed and torn apart. The rout of more than 3,000 people shook the entire defense line. The left wing "Forward, push forward with all your strength!"

Hu Keqili paid no attention to the scattered soldiers, but moved forward unwaveringly. The cavalry advanced as fast as arrows, and the horses galloped past the barrier that had not yet been removed from the trench. , these baffles are like bridges on two trenches. Under normal circumstances, they are used for soldiers to pass through, because the Central Army cavalry appeared too turán and the front retreated too fast.

These baffles were regarded as a way of life and death by the defeated army. They were crowded with people. When they were rushed by the war horses, they suddenly fell into a large ditch. The scene was tragic. The Central Army cavalry group tightly bit the tail of the defeated soldiers in front, and a section One section after another, one team after another, were crushed. "The main force of the Falcon Emperor is coming! Move quickly, you will die if you catch up!" Panic spread like a plague from the left wing to the entire front. The tired and sleep-deprived soldiers of the expeditionary force lost their minds, yelled crazily, and collapsed. The situation in front of them was indeed as Fatty expected. The trenches more than ten miles long made the people scattered outside the city collapse. The expeditionary force formed a long formation. Facing the flank attack from Turán, they were unable to mobilize their troops in time to respond.

If the commander of the Ruguo Expeditionary Force was sober enough, he would immediately order the abandonment of the redundant trench defense line in front. Withdraw all troops into the last two trenches backed by the tall city wall. Based on the support on the city wall, only a strong counterattack is needed to repel the incoming Central Army cavalry. But the commander of the expeditionary force stationed outside the city was obviously frightened by the roar of the heavy horse hooves.

The entire flank was in turmoil, and the sound of killing was loud. The disintegrating soldiers continued to flee from the trench in front to the trench in the back. The shining cold light of the swords made all the soldiers of the expeditionary force who saw all this feel chilled in their hearts and retreated. ! "

The person in charge of the expedition this time is another general of the expeditionary force. It may not be so effective, but it is the commander of the expeditionary force in Kyoto. It was the traitor of Salander's Northern Army, Enright, who saw the falcon battle flag looming in the morning mist. His ignorant fear obviously made the commander exaggerate the enemy's strength. He believed that the self-excited spirit was bitten by the emperor's main force,

Because the battle flag of the Central Army also adopts the falcon symbol, it is easy for Enright, who does not know much about the imperial system, to take it for granted that he is leading the cavalry in a mad killing spree. It was the ferocious and tyrannical Vekia Falcon, who mistook the Central Army's battle flag for the battle flag of the Vekia Falcon, which immediately made him think of abandoning the entire trench defense line without hesitation, in the name of the continental god of war. It was enough to shock everyone. His wrong decision caused countless Salander troops to collapse, like water flowing into a river. A large number of people gathered outside the closed gate of Kyoto. "Open the door quickly and let us in!" The city gate turned out to be very noisy. The defeated troops crowded below yelled at the people above, and the city guards above raised their bows and arrows.

Looking down with murderous intent, the two sides were locked in a stalemate. The cavalry in the distance was coming here in a bloody storm. "I am ordered by the government, no one can open the city gate!" An officer leaned out half of his body from above and said to shouted at the black mass of heads below.

"Order? Whose order do you want?" I am Enright, the supreme commander of Kyoto, and I order you to open the city gate! "

When Enright arrived, he was also frightened by the defeated army in front of him. From beginning to end, he was not a real soldier. Under such circumstances, the first thing that came to his mind was to return to the city with his mother. He immediately ran away with all the treasures, and the entire Ikadiva continent was dào, méi consists of a strong city or fortress, nénggou can withstand the hooves of the falcon of Vikia, "Sir Enright?" The officer on the city wall was stunned for a moment, and he saw the supreme commander Enright among the crowd. "Yashi Bourne, don't open the door! If you don't open the door, I'll chop off your head!"

Enright raised his head angrily and shouted the name of the city guard officer. This time he placed the self-motivated direct descendants inside the city and placed the so-called expeditionary troops outside the city, which in itself meant that these expeditionary troops would be used as cannon fodder. I just didn’t expect Ziji’s luck to be so bad. When I went out for inspection in the morning, I encountered the emperor’s massive attack. It was very unpleasant. It was a pleasure to have sex with other expeditionary troops, and enjoy the treatment of being shut out. "Sir, if the city gate is opened now, what should I do if the enemy takes advantage of the situation and rushes in?" This officer is relatively dedicated, but it is obvious that "No shihou, you bastard, you don't open the city gate, do you want me to die outside?" Enright yelled and cursed,

"But..." the officer also wanted to say

Enright turned his head and glanced at the black cavalry who were getting closer and closer behind him. He could no longer care about Nàme. He directly raised the whip in his hand and shouted to the archers on the city wall, "All archers, listen, this man is treasonous." "Xin, I suspect you are the emperor's spies, I order you to be executed immediately..." "No, I mǎshàng ordered the door to be opened, open the door!" "Officer's face!" He was so frightened that he turned pale and waved his hands and shouted, asking the nearby city gate winchman to pull the winch. Even in the cold early spring, he shouted loudly and sweating profusely. There are too many nàme to control now, nénggou should save his life. First of all, these archers are all Enright's people. If you give an order, you will definitely end up with thousands of arrows piercing your heart. "Gege"

The tightly closed city gate of Kyoto finally opened slowly under the pull of the winch, and the defeated army swarmed forward, squeezing into a pile and making it difficult to control. The Central Army cavalry in the distance, who had been well prepared, was like a wolf that smelled the fishy smell. A group of people rushed towards the city gate. The war horses were like thunder and the swords were like frost. Those who ran slowly were trampled to death by the war horses. "Hurry, close the door quickly!" The defenders on the city wall. Seeing this situation, they were also in chaos, with countless defeated troops below. The gate was pushed open with a gap several meters wide. The winchman pulled hard, but it only closed less than ten centimeters. "Everyone, hold on, then Xu Dan is going to close the city gate!" "This is too despicable, are you going to abandon us?" ""Yeah, if you want to live, just rush in!"

There were various scoldings coming from below, and it was obvious that the winch of the city gate was being pulled violently, even though the defeated troops in front were violently holding the city gate. But in front of the huge power of the machine, the two huge city gates that were opened slowly closed towards the middle. "Let me pass, I am Enright!"

In the crowd, Enright shouted loudly, and with the desperate pushing of several guards, he miraculously squeezed into the blocked city gate. In front of him was the city gate where nénggou could survive, and behind him there were more than a dozen pairs of big hands struggling They pulled at his clothes, making it difficult for him to move forward. Looking at the city gate getting smaller and smaller, "You bastard, let go!" At the critical moment, Enright drew out his sword without hesitation and slashed at the hand behind Ziji. Blood splattered everywhere, and a shrill scream came from behind, "My hand!"

Several arms that had no time to let go fell to the ground bloody, and some were still holding on to Enright's clothes. Some flew onto the people behind. Taking advantage of the chaotic excitement behind them, Enright made a very successful jump. Rushing in from the city gate that was less than 1 meter away, the city gate slammed shut. The sight of countless pairs of eyes seemed to have been cut off. Along with the light, the inside of the city gate suddenly dimmed. down

"This is God's will, God will not destroy me!" Enright shouted happily, fell to his knees on the ground, and fiercely kissed the ground under his feet.

Outside the city, the noisy sounds suddenly stopped, except for the shrill screams of some people. The arms of these people were cut off with a sharp sword, exposing the white bones and rolling on the ground in pain. Three of them were En Wright's guards, they pushed Enright into the last hope, but their hands were cut off by the self-excited master. Although they tried their best to hold the bloody wound and gritted their teeth, they still could not make any sound.

"Tap!"

In the distance, the central cavalry group of the empire, which was less than 30 meters away from the city gate, stopped. The black men and horses were lined up in a row, covered in blood, their eyes full of violent factors were bloodshot, and the sound of swords being sheathed neatly was heard. It's all blowing in the wind With the smell of blood, its fierce momentum made all the thousands of expeditionary troops outside the gate feel a chill rising from their hearts. It is said that in Said, it was this cavalry that killed 20,000 Salander expeditionary troops. It flowed into a river and the entire Second Army was destroyed.

"It seems that the first plan has failed!"

Hu Keqili slowly came out of the cavalry queue, glanced at the tightly closed door in front of him, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. The opponent's commander was considered cold-blooded, and he actually abandoned thousands of people to the enemy. If the country were to issue a massacre order, the entire moat would be blocked by piles of corpses. Fortunately, His Majesty Falcon also laid out a second plan. Although it is not as exciting as the first plan, it is still enough to make a decision. The whole battle is over;

"Crossbow!"

Hu Keqili glanced at the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were crowded in the city gate, like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Turán raised his hands behind him, "Brush! Brush". The Central Army cavalry rushed from the self-excited From the war horse weapon slot, pull out the half-meter length inserted upside down. Like an open half-moon cavalry assault crossbow, the cavalry placed the triangular cluster of armor-piercing arrows on it very fluently and quickly. This armor-piercing arrow can penetrate the armor of heavy infantry within a distance of fifty meters. In this way, Within a short distance, the army launched a volley of fire, and no one on the other side would be spared.

"Aim!" Following Hu Keqili's order, the crossbow body of the assault crossbow in the hands of the Central Army cavalry slowly leveled, and the sharp arrow bursting with cold light was pointed directly at the thousands of trembling expeditionary troops outside the city gate. The air stopped at this moment. "Oh my God, I don't want to die!" "Is this going to massacre us?"

There was a chaos below the city gate, crying for fathers and mothers. The crowd formed by thousands of defeated troops seemed to be squeezed in by a pair of invisible giant hands. Those who faced the cavalry crossbows directly were all Some people subconsciously stepped back, and some even wanted to jump into the moat, but the water was too strong, and the people who jumped were swept away in a few strokes. After a while, a roll of blood-colored waves floated up with bubbling water in the river,

Some people who wanted to follow suit quickly gave up their plans to jump into the river.

In order to resist the siege of the Imperial Crossing River, the expeditionary force planted countless sharp iron pieces, stones, and bamboo sticks in the moat of Kyoto in Normandy.

As long as a person falls, he will soon be swept in by the waves and die. The huge pressure makes all the soldiers of the Salander Expeditionary Force on the opposite side turn pale.

Looking at the cold light shining like starlight on the opposite side, one would doubt that the cavalry on the opposite side would not hesitate to massacre everyone after ten shots.

"Since you once belonged to the Emperor, I give you a choice: lay down your weapons and surrender or die! Make a choice within ten sounds!" Hu Keqili glanced ahead, raised his hand again, and slowly chanted "one, two, three..."

"Pah" Before he could count to four, the expeditionary army began to throw away their weapons. By the tenth sound, only one person was still holding a weapon. In this situation, even Hu Keqili couldn't help but twist his mouth, "Such an expeditionary army is simply a disgrace to the Emperor!" To be continued
