Realm of Power

"Uuuuuu——"

The sky is vast, and the winter sun has almost no temperature. Instead, the strong north wind seems to be more in line with the scene in front of me. The ground in Lisbonto, which has just snowed, is completely white, but at this moment, under the city of Lisbonto, it is filled with countless figures.

"Gather and take down Lisbonto!"

The desolate war horns roared in the wind, just like the eternal wind blowing through the gap between the two armies.

The smell of blood is spreading, seeming to indicate that the cruel war has been a monster devouring human flesh and blood since its birth. A total of thirty-eight inhuman squadron flags crackled in the bursting morning wind. With the sound of the sound, the densely packed infantry line lined up 500 meters in front of Lisbonto.

Queues of people on foot and on horseback are still emerging from the forest at the foothills outside the city.

The rumble of hoofbeats and footsteps resounded across the earth. The cavalry raised up a yellow dust mist, the blue Congo army, and the flying Congo Crusaders were like a huge wave, gathering in front of the thin black city wall of Lisbon. can submerge this half-ruined city,

"Legion Commander, I think the Puntau people must be frightened. It's time to make a big move and attack directly!" Akadler, the 27-year-old commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of Gangfei, was riding on his horse and looked at Looking at the Putao defenders running back and forth on Lisbonto's city wall in the distance, he said with a somewhat impatient expression. , it makes sense for him to call Remshat the commander of the army. With the special approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, in order to deal with the rebellion of the Putao people, the Ministry of Military Affairs authorized the quelling army assembled by Remshat to be temporarily designated as the Tenth Crusade of Gangfei. Legion,

The commander of the corps is Remschat, the senior affairs officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is mainly composed of the original 11,000 troops stationed in Putau and a 30,000-strong local infantry regiment reinforced from within the country. The total strength reaches 40,000. According to intelligence , there are less than 20,000 Putao rebels in the city,

Remshat gently swung his horsewhip with his hand, staring at the Lisbonto city wall in the distance. With a disdainful sneer on his lips, at the position of Remshat's main formation, a super-large red Iron Cross flag with a width of five meters looked particularly eye-catching.

With this military flag as the center, a huge array of 40,000 Ganfei troops spread out to both sides, like metal swords spaced apart, ready to attack, ready to encircle Lisbon in front of the city wall. It was riddled with holes in an instant.

"The two-to-one military strength comparison is really a battle without any suspense!"

Remshat curled his lips slightly, and a frightening chill flashed in his light blue eyes. Although the legion has just traveled a long distance, it should be enough to deal with such miscellaneous soldiers! The Putao defenders above were obviously frightened by such a majestic army. The defenders were running back and forth like ants.

Scattered queues, gun arrays were erected in a mess on the city wall, a mess of city defense equipment was pushed up, and several nondescript old-fashioned military flags were fluttering in the sun. You could tell at a glance that they were typical. A makeshift army, but that's it. The idiot Duke Putao had been supervised by him for six years. He was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to sell his last pair of underwear. For a highly expensive thing like quickly recruiting rebels, it was already good to be able to pull out the group in front of him.

"Don't worry, Commander of the Army. We will be able to enter the city and kill all these Putao people in less than half a day!" The infantry leader Akadler raised the whip in his hand respectfully and said with great confidence.

"Then don't waste time!" Remshat said with a smile and raised his riding crop high. Loudly ordered "First, fifth, seventh, eleventh...heavy infantry, come out! Target, Lisbonto!"

As the order was issued, a cavalryman carrying a blue and red flag carried the order. Like clusters of arrows, carrying the bursting wind of the battlefield, they flew past the military formation where the Gangfei people were arrayed. Several whole groups of Gangfei heavy infantry whose names were called, marched neatly from the military formation towards He stepped forward and shouted "Heavy infantry out!"

The dust was flying like a long metal wall that suddenly rose up.

These Gangfei heavy infantry wear scaly heavy armor specially made by the Gangfei army. Their main weapons are heavy spears and short-handled axes for close combat. The outside of their right arms is a shield made of fine iron. It is huge and can completely cover people, so when they move around , completely like an iron wall moving

On his head, he wears a pointed helmet with raised temple guards. The entire face is covered by a metal visor. Only at the position of the eyes, there is a cross-shaped crack that can clearly see the outside. The external use of the armor On the white cloth, there is a huge cross painted in red

Blood cross!

This was the symbol of the Holy Obarro Empire. The Gangfei Empire had always regarded itself as a descendant of that great empire, so it also inherited this symbol. However, for Gangfei’s enemies, the Blood Cross had a significantly more meaningful meaning. profound,

This red blood cross, which represents massacre, plunder, and destruction, made Duke Putao tremble slightly when he was standing on the city wall. His eyes were bloodshot and nervous. He squeezed the battlements with his hands. Duke Putao's finger joints were broken because of too much force. whitish,

When the Lanmian Army broke into Lisbonto, it also sent the red Blood Cross heavy infantry to lead the charge. The Duke of Putau still remembers the terror of this heavy infantry. The army of the Putau Principality was in front of these professional butchers. Harvested like pieces of wheat, arrows shot here On some butchers, it has almost no effect. At most, ordinary light weapons can only pierce the first layer of scales on the outside, and then they will be blocked by the second layer of barrel armor. Many ordinary soldiers were killed in this way, just The Blood Cross heavy infantry of 5,000 men easily defeated his 15,000 defenders.

Putao's resistance to Gangfei fell in less than a week. The Gangfei army that invaded the city brutally looted the entire capital of the principality. The entire capital was looted, and 36,000 Lisbon soldiers were looted. The trustee died because of this robbery!

"Go forward and kill all the living creatures you can see in front of you!" Gangfei's heavy infantry captains shouted loudly. At a position 200 meters away from the city wall, these blue-cloaked infantry captains neatly pulled out their weapons. The commander stabbed his sword, and the soldiers followed closely behind him with a rainbow of momentum. Under various incentives, the soldiers' eyes began to change from being comfortable to glowing with fanatical bloodthirsty.

Eight squadrons of Congolese heavy infantry advanced hand in hand, with battle flags waving and a burst of thunder. The infantry phalanx formed an offensive echelon. Just like the torrent of steel began to roll forward, the front of the formation shone with the metallic light of armored shields and spears, the offensive momentum was like a tsunami, unstoppable like an avalanche,

The blue armor was like a huge wave, wrapped in a row of sharp infantry spears, flashing with awe-inspiring cold light in the rising morning sun, and pounced on the Lisbonto city wall with an overwhelming momentum.

"Oh my god, let's run quickly, I told you before. We can't resist the inhumane! We still have the island chain, where it's safe!"

Prince Raphael, who was standing next to Duke Putao, was so frightened by the scene below that he cried and screamed miserably. As soon as the man was still 300 meters away, he had already begun to retreat. At 250 meters, this guy was two My legs were shaking like twists, 200 meters, if I wasn't half-guarded by the guards behind me. This ostrich guy will roll down the city wall even if he rolls. It's too dangerous here!

Compared with him, Duke Putao's performance was very remarkable, although his face was also pale. Although his legs were also shaking, the Duke, who was frightened to the point of peeing in another battle, at least did not run away this time. He tried his best to hold on to the battlements. He let go of his purple lips that were bleeding from his teeth, and breathed in the air with all his strength, as if this approach could make him stronger. Finally, he stood up straight, and in a rage, shouted towards the cold light of the gun forest moving in the distance.

"Come on! Gang Fei's bastard, I won't run away this time!"

"Who is the person that His Majesty Falcon entrusted to me?!" Lidakus, who was in charge of the command, glanced at Duke Putao, who had not yet fully recovered, and looked dumbfounded.

Although he was from a civil service background, he followed the Falcon of Vecia on a war expedition. What scene had he not seen before? How could 40,000 people be so frightened? Then if he encountered the Battle of Storos where 300,000 troops fought fiercely a few years ago, this guy wouldn't be scared to death. Lidakus didn't know that Duke Putau had already been scared to death.

"Not to mention the Battle of Luwangaka, where I faced the 100,000-strong Southwest Army alone!" Lidakus said in his heart, "Now, let me show you the Iron Falcon Empire." The King of Walls is so awesome!"

"Crossbowmen prepare! Target, 150 meters line!" Lidakus looked calm. The guy from the weapons smuggling family, who already regarded himself as a famous general, began to issue orders unhurriedly. The Gangfei people below had already entered the 100-meter line. Fifty-meter attack line, according to Lidakus's experience of following Fatty for many years, he knew that if it was His Majesty Falcon standing here at this moment, he would definitely give the opponent a blow! I have sought to achieve the goal of severely dampening his spirit. In the siege battle, spirit comes first!

Following the order, the six thousand Imperial Central Army soldiers who were originally ambushed in the city road bent down and came out of the city road. They carefully squatted down behind the battlement openings, holding up the powerful infantry crossbows in their hands. His eyes followed the slowly approaching Gangfei military line,

"This is....."

Duke Putao was completely stunned. He knew about the ambush, but he didn't expect that this was one hundred and fifty meters! According to the normal range of a bow and arrow, doesn't it start attacking after 100 meters?

The other Pu Tao soldiers were also completely stunned. Although most of them were new recruits, they could still feel the terrifying murderous aura from the Central Army of the so-called Falcon Empire, like ice, which seemed to envelop the surrounding areas. The air is frozen,

Every shooter is like a statue, no one speaks,

This is a real shooter!

Among the Puntao people, some well-informed mercenaries were trembling. The hands of these soldiers holding strange bows and arrows were like cast iron, without the slightest fluctuation, and their sharp eyes were like an invisible knife. This was A level that can only be achieved by skilled shooters who surpass ordinary shooters. Shooters have always been the most difficult to train. A good shooter can easily kill the most brave enemy warriors from a long range, so even among mercenaries, , a skilled shooter who is also a captain-level figure,

And when so many captain-level shooters suddenly appeared, the mercenaries were completely stunned.

At this moment, they looked down at the Gangfei army who were holding shields and singing the Gangfei war hymn without knowing anything. It was like looking at a group of prey that had half stepped into a trap. They were full of tragic pity, although Gangfei Ren has a shield in his hand, but the shield's effect is too low under the precise killing of skilled shooters, not to mention that the distance of several hundred meters in front has already made Gangfei Ren's original shield wall, because The terrain has begun to spread out, and these loopholes are simply fatal deficiencies.

For shooters. One mistake is enough;

These Putao people did not know that standing in front of them were the elites of an empire that had swept across a continent.

Every daily drill of the Central Army of the Empire includes 2 hours of training on throwing stones with a crossbow. The crossbow is the main offensive weapon of the Falcon Empire. Not every one of these Central Army soldiers may be an excellent shooting crossbowman, but as a A person holding the crossbow in his hand can definitely cause shocking damage.

At this moment, there was silence on the entire city wall. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of the wind blowing up the dust on the ground. Everyone's hearts were twisted together. The aura of Xiao Sha made Remshat, who was far across the way, unexpectedly feel a strange feeling. He raised his head. At first, he accidentally turned his head. For some reason, he suddenly noticed that the Lisbon city wall defenders were in a state of chaos just now. At this moment, there was an unexpected pause. The bad feeling was like a string that was suddenly extremely tight and seemed about to suddenly break!

"What's going on? Is it an illusion?"

Remshat's excellent and stable character prevailed, and the surprise brought by the sixth sense only made him frown slightly.

"Go forward and attack!"

The cheers from the Gang Fei heavy infantry came from the front. Victory was in sight, and the attack line was pushed 150 meters in. The trebuchet, which was still a little fearful at first, unexpectedly did not launch. What are you waiting for! The non-heavy infantrymen began to get excited, and the ground made a thumping sound with their accelerated pace.

"shooting!"

At this moment, a sound like a heavy rain hitting the floor, like a suddenly bursting vase, sounded from the direction of Lisbonto, and a black flash, like a black swarm of locusts, suddenly sloped down from the wall of Lisbonto, overwhelming the sky. , like all the stars in the sky falling to the ground,

"How is that possible!" Remshat's eyes almost exploded when he saw this scene from behind. When! There are so many shooters on the city wall! In his pupils, white light feathers continued to draw brilliant brilliance in the air. Layers of arrow clusters, like waterfalls, were blocked in front of the shield formation of the heavy infantry. The feeling was... Like a sudden heavy rain, it fell gorgeously on the marble-patterned windowsill, creating a breathtakingly beautiful spectacle.

It's just that this spectacle represents the death of our own soldiers, a horrific killing and bloodshed that makes people's hearts tremble.

Countless blood spattered, and soldiers hit by arrows fell in droves. Even the tightest shield wall was covered in the densest area before such a terrible fierce attack of mercury. Almost no heavy infantry survived. Like a piece of living being dug out in some area, several other queues were cut into several sections,

"Damn, there's an ambush!"

Gangfei's heavy infantry team was in chaos. They were shocked to find that the heavy infantry armor they relied on the most was torn apart by the opponent's arrows. Sharp whistling sounds completely occupied the surrounding space, and they were surrounded by the screams of their companions. , amidst the chaos of people falling on their backs

"Quick, Ge Shield!"

Facing the rain of bursting arrows that almost blocked the sun, the heavy infantrymen of Gang Fei all let out an exciting shout in a very professional manner. Countless shields stood up like a tumbling wave, bang! bang bang, arrow clusters were shot in the sperm. On the steel shield, arrow clusters were heavily deflected and covered like a waterfall.

"Arrow Cart! Shoot with all your strength"

Lidakus, the guy who likes to figure out the ways of fat bitches the most, did not give Gang Feiren any chance to breathe at this moment. The other party sent out heavy infantry in such a concentration, in his eyes, it was a delicious meal. It really saves time and effort It's a good thing. If you miss it, you will be punished by God. After several volleys of crossbows, he did not hesitate to use the most terrifying weapon against the group troops. Although the loading of the arrow cart is very time-consuming and laborious, and one shot takes ten minutes interval,

But Lidakus' decisive judgment caused a devastating disaster to the Congolese heavy infantry.

The trebuchets on both sides of the city wall and 30 loaded arrow carts angrily fired the largest salvo in history. The military-industrial killing masterpiece from the Falcon Empire appeared for the first time in the sky of a foreign continent, with countless cold lights. , just like the sky was suddenly filled with silver points of light, swooping down from both sides of the defense hole of Gang Fei's heavy infantry!

The heavy infantry were so shot that they couldn't even lift their heads. The scattered formations caused numerous holes in the temporary shield wall they erected. The falcon crossbowmen above fired at the Gangfei people below one by one. Soldiers kept trying to insert themselves. Falling down in pain like a hedgehog full of arrows

In order to reduce the chance of being shot in the turbulence, the heavy infantrymen have chosen to squat on the ground, gritting their teeth and hiding behind their shields.

Not to mention moving forward, even going back is difficult.

Some tricky arrow clusters from the city wall were shot through the gaps that could be shot with unimaginable accuracy.

Bright red blood exploded from behind the shield

"Ah, I was hit by an arrow!"

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

There were all kinds of sounds, and soon these sounds would be interrupted by the rapid sound of breaking through the air. The massacre in front of them made the Gangfei troops behind them completely dumbfounded.

No one had ever seen such a dense and terrifying rain of arrows. Although they heard the shrill wailing in front, no one had the courage to go up to rescue people

"Retreat! Order the heavy infantry to retreat immediately!"

The two squadrons in front were completely annihilated, and the four squadrons were incomplete, which made Remshat behind him completely anxious. The heavy infantry was his biggest reliance for attacking the city. If they were lost at once, he couldn't send light infantry and cavalry to attack Lisbonto, which had become more terrifying than hell in an instant! (To be continued...)
