Realm of Power

In that city, fierce fighting was like fire, and the sound of killings shook the sky.

In the direction of the city wall, where the battle was most brutal, the spears of the Falcon Army violently impacted the defense line. Corpses piled up layer after layer formed hills. Blood gurgled along the gaps in the city road to form a small river. You could feel it when you stepped on it. The human blood was sticky, the injured people were pressed in the pile of corpses and screamed for help, no one had time to pay attention.

Everyone was running for their lives. The Falcon Army soldiers were like a black ant colony clinging to the city wall. They were surging like a tidal wave and their momentum was breathtaking. A pile of corpses fell to the ground.

The falcon army is overflowing the city wall, and the black armor is completely dyed red with blood, like a steel wall, like monsters infected with blood and minced meat, making people tremble and fear from the heart to the soul, terrifying It made ordinary Gallic soldiers feel that their spirits were about to collapse.

"Oh my god, they are all monsters!"

Under the fierce attack of 20,000 strong troops from the Northwest Legion of the Falcon Empire, the 8,000 Gaulish garrison only resisted for more than an hour before showing signs of disintegration. Under the critical situation, George Wood, the commander of the 16th Gallic garrison regiment of the Nase City garrison, personally He led the guards to the top of the city. The number of guards was about 500.

Composed of the elite Shogun Guards and the Kyoto Imperial Guards, their equipment is completely at the same level as that of ordinary soldiers. They are not wearing the light leather armor of ordinary soldiers, but heavy armor that resembles a steel fortress. The feet are like an iron can, and the weapon is also a Gallic epee forged from fire steel.

"Go back, those who retreat without authorization are deserters, and the fate of deserters is execution! According to the military discipline of the empire, your families will also be implicated." George Wood led the guards to block the retreat of the defeated army, trying to drive the defeated troops to continue climbing the city wall. To intercept the Falcons' attack

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from within the defeated army: "Don't listen to them, you will die if you go back! We have more people than they do, and they dare not take action!" The defeated army has been gutted, who cares who George Wood is? Commander of the garrison, they saw that there were only a few hundred people on George Wood's side. Suddenly there was a loud shout

"Yeah, they only have a few hundred people, and we have more people than them! Don't be afraid of them."

There was a commotion among the defeated army, and there was a faint tendency of mutiny. The face of the garrison leader George Wood became more and more serious, damn it! He knew that if he hesitated any longer, the collapse would turn into an irreversible disaster. If Nase persisted, the Eastern Front would be completely lost.

"Supervise the team!"

With a ferocious expression, he loudly ordered to the guards behind him. The Lu Empire itself was also a northern overlord known for its brutality and killings, and its military discipline maintained the strictness unique to the northern region.

According to the Gallic military system, if the commander of a front-line combat force cannot prevent the disintegration of his troops in a fierce battle, the commander who leads the team will be executed even if he wins. Therefore, the commander's guard often also serves as the commander of the troops. The ruthless character who supervises the team,

Hear George Five's orders. The general's guards quickly formed a line

"brush!"

The cold light of the Gaul sword light was like ripples of light, turning over the film. It was the Gallic heavy sword that was used as a supervising team. These generals and guards were all real professional soldiers, and they had almost no hesitation in executing orders.

In their eyes, there is no self or enemy, only the difference between the living and the dead.

They stood in front of George Wood, protecting George Wood like an impenetrable steel barrier. If the general dies, they will also be executed collectively. The general's guards are not regular soldiers. They are all generals' personal guards. They only need to be responsible to their commanders and don't need to consider anything else.

Their cold eyes were so cold that the defeated Gallic army on the opposite side felt frightened and did not dare to move forward. But what George Wood needed was not a stalemate. He knew that if these defeated troops lost their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, even if they were driven away There will only be a few more corpses when we go back.

"It seems this must be the case!" George Wood gritted his teeth secretly

"Listen, team supervisor, if there is a rout and retreat, the consequences will be...!" George Wood said loudly, his face as cold as ice, his voice suddenly stopped, and he raised the heavy sword mercilessly. He waved at a Gallic soldier on the opposite side who was still shouting and wanted to rush over.

The ferocious slashing is not like treating one's own soldiers, but like treating one's own enemies.

Poof "blood splattered, red eyes burned,

In full view of the public, the sharp heavy sword turned into a cold light and split open the soldier's chest. "Why!" The defeated Gallic soldier opened his eyes wide and looked at the high sword that struck his chest from the shoulder. Lu Chongjian looked like he couldn't believe that he was actually killed by one of his own people.

"This is the fate of those who flee!" George Wood said in a deep voice word by word. Before the soldier was completely dead, the heavy sword in his hand was quickly pulled out from the soldier's body, ruthlessly, and the red blood of the soldier followed the heavy sword at the same time. The pulled out incision spurted onto his face, which was covered with blood.

George Wood looked calm, wiped the blood on his face with his hands disdainfully, and then kicked the body hard and fell to the ground.

To this day, this soldier still could not believe the fact that he died at the hands of his own general! He stretched out his hand and looked at George Wood with bulging eyes. His pupils quickly lost focus. Everyone could feel that a precious thing called life was moving away from this body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"call"

There was a crackling sound of burning sparks in the wind, and there was a sudden silence all around. All the defeated troops of Gaul were frightened by this scene. They did not expect that George Wood would really dare to kill. Thousands of defeated troops were suddenly killed by George Wood alone. Suppress the momentum

"Didn't you hear that?"

George Wood turned his head, his tone was sharp, murderous, and his vicious and bloodshot eyes were like a wounded beast. "Swipe" The Gallic soldiers in front all took a step back in shock. This madman, everyone was shocked. A chill arose in my heart,

"Papa"

George Wood swung the heavy sword in his hand, and a line of blood hit the ground. Then he raised the heavy sword and pointed it at the collapsed city wall. He shouted to all the defeated troops in front of him with a cold expression, "See it! The defeated soldiers." Death, this is military discipline. I know that most of you have never experienced such a tragic battle. The enemy is very fierce, and can even be said to be much stronger than us."

"But we have no choice. As members of the Empire, we can either be found out like cowards after the city is broken and hanged one by one. Or we can be like an Empire warrior and fight to the last moment with our own swords, letting our reputation It is said that this place is not far from Aike City, and reinforcements will arrive soon! Only by holding on until reinforcements arrive will we all have a way to survive! Otherwise, if the city falls, we will all die!

The Gallic soldiers looked at each other with pale faces and remained silent, but their expressions had changed.

It may have been the winter propaganda about the Falcon Empire's brutality that played a role. A young officer covered in blood stood up first. He looked at George Wood with determined eyes, gave a military salute and said, "Sir George Wood, I am the deputy captain of the fifth squadron, Exon, and my fiancée is Si." Emerilda of Lan County, I know that you are also from Slan County. If you are lucky enough to be able to return to Slan County, please tell her that I died as an imperial warrior! "

"I will. If I can go back alive! I will tell your fiancée that you made the enemy tremble in battle and persisted until the last moment!"

George Wood nodded heavily, his eyes flickering. The soldiers of the empire have never lacked bloodiness and courage to die in battle. Even though 300,000 soldiers have died in battle, these precious things can still be seen, but they are hidden too deeply. So deep that even I have been shaken

"Thank you. In this way, I have no regrets."

The young officer smiled. Taking a deep breath, he turned and walked towards the city wall behind him. He raised his head and saw that the white raindrops were like a long line with no edge, hitting his young face coldly. Inside the white raindrops, there were countless arrows formed by cold light. cluster,

The falling rocks and arrows exploded like a violent storm, and the incendiary bombs trailing thick black smoke were like bright stars rising from the lows of the horizon below, drawing beautiful and cruel arcs representing death in the sky, crossing The not-wide 200 meters ahead hit the city wall heavily.

"Rumble" A series of thunderous explosions and fire were like red light groups exploding on the city. The city walls were shaking and collapsing, and the blown stones fell into the moat. In the middle of the road, a large white splash appeared,

"The flags are flying in the sky, the uniform troops are rushing to the battlefield, and the ground under their feet is rumbling and echoing..." The young officer has no fear on his face, and a loud voice comes "Fight to the death, long live the empire!" I heard this young officer Everyone's faces were excited as they sang. This was the military song of the empire. In the past, Over the past hundred years, countless Imperial soldiers have stepped onto the battlefield singing this military song to open up new territories for the Empire. When these soldiers became soldiers from ordinary people, they also sang this military song countless times. , at that time, it just made people excited, but now, it feels like a heroic spirit of willing to die.

Behind the young officer, some people began to turn around

"The banners are flying in the sky, and the orderly troops rush to the battlefield, and the ground beneath their feet rumbles and echoes. The warriors are tall and strong... The swords split the sky. They are as indestructible as copper walls... In a depressing atmosphere, more people began to hum in tacit understanding The Gallic military song was played.”

More and more people began to turn around, and the demoralized Gallic soldiers miraculously gathered again.

"Anyone who shrinks from battle will be killed!"

"Kill those who run away from the city!"

"Long live the Empire, kill! Kill! Kill!"

The defeated troops of Gaul seemed to have been forced into a desperate situation and burst out of courage. They fought back to the city wall and strangled the rushing northwest army. This time, all the Gallic soldiers were as if they had been beaten to death, and they were not afraid of death. They fell down in front of the Falcon Army's gun formation, and their bodies spread out in a red arc, but no one retreated. It was completely a suicidal counterattack.

The bloody broken wall was shocking to anyone who looked at it. Arrows from below the city came like raindrops. "Pop-pap" "The heavy spears of both sides collided together, making a metal friction sound that tore the eardrums. The shields of the soldiers on both sides collided heavily. Pressing side by side

"Creak"

The metal armors of both sides were so close that they made a friction sound. The eyes of those who were close were staring, and bright red blood continued to emerge from the corpses of fallen soldiers on both sides. The entire city wall turned into a muddy pool of blood.

The fierce battle lasted for three hours, and the sky became blurry. Most of the eight thousand defenders in Gaul were lost in the battle, and the casualties of the Northwest Army also exceeded three thousand. In order to prevent the troops who attacked the city wall from falling into the dark due to darkness, There was a possibility of an ambush by the Gauls in the city. Crolisate could only bear the pain and ordered the troops who had attacked the city wall to withdraw.

The remaining firelight was still burning on the city wall, and black smoke filled the sky. The battle report about Na Se was sent to the base camps of both sides at the same time.

"Miracle, the color was preserved!"

On the Gaul side, Hassan Rimbaud was so excited that he felt as if he had just come back to life with the battle report he had just received.

From the opponent's use of warships to attack the river on the Eastern Front, he had already vaguely sensed that the opponent had plans to launch a full-scale attack along the river and occupy the Seine River in the upper reaches of the Eastern Front. Then entering the inner river, the cities on the center line were pulled out one by one, and the color located at the pass of the Seine River undoubtedly played a vital role. By taking that color, the Falcon Empire's fleet could drive straight in with unstoppable momentum. If the connection between the cities on the central line is cut off in one fell swoop, even if the central defense zone has as many as 190,000 local guard troops, it will be unable to support them. They were in the unfavorable position of fighting independently, but the other party could calmly mobilize their troops and form a local advantage, gnawing away the swarms in the central line area piece by piece like biscuits.

originally. Hassan Rimbaud has already made plans to give up on Nase City

Because he knew that if the Falcon Army defeated the Eastern Front, its main force would surely quickly arrive at the city of Nase.

Nase City's defense strength is insufficient, and most of the 8,000 soldiers of the 16th Garrison Regiment are regional garrison soldiers who have not experienced war. The 70,000-strong Fifteenth Army Corps that they thought they relied on collapsed prematurely and was caught off guard. Such a force. When they encounter the main force of the Falcon Emperor, which has been through battle for a long time, they don't have the strength to fight at all. I'm afraid they will be completely defeated in less than two hours.

By then, the color had been lost before his reinforcements arrived. The Falcon Emperor's main force followed the battleship and drove straight into the central inland river, intimidating the cities on the central line and cutting off the communication between all parties. The reinforcements from all parties could only return in despair. Before the battle, the 140,000 troops on the center line The team suffered a heavy morale setback in advance and fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own. Just thinking about it can make people feel chills down the spine. The name of the Falcon God of War in Vikia is indeed well-deserved. The last battle with Rusty The memory of Hassan Rimbaud is so fresh,

The Eighth Army, with more than 100,000 troops, was divided and surrounded by the enemy. It fell into a dead end in the plain area and was inexplicably eaten clean. If it hadn't been for the initiative to give up the area that was not conducive to defense, and used the center line formed by the city to block the Falcon. With the advancing pace of the army, the Falcon Army is afraid that it has already penetrated into the hinterland of the empire.

But this time, according to reports from Nase, the Falcon Army that invaded the eastern front and attacked the city of Nase only had 30,000 men. This was the opponent's biggest failure. Such an excellent fighter plane only invested such a small amount. Poor military strength, so what if we really occupy that place?

On the center line alone, there are 140,000 imperial garrison troops, and there are 80,000 reserve troops in the base camp that can be deployed on the center line at any time, a total of 220,000 troops. The other side is stingy and only wants to invest 30,000 troops to shake the entire line. It is really too disrespectful. The soldiers of the Lu Empire took it seriously.

If more than 100,000 troops were put into the gap on the eastern front, it might be possible to shake the center line and break through the entire defense line in one fell swoop, as I guessed, but it was a pity that there were only 30,000 troops. . Sure enough, the shortage of troops is the biggest weakness of the Falcon Empire. Under the strong pressure of 400,000 imperial troops, the number of troops that the Falcon Imperial Army can mobilize with only 200,000 troops is too limited. . .

Hassan Rambo smiled coldly, "Come here, immediately order the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 13th garrison regiments stationed on the center line to move closer to that color! I want to use 7 With the strength of a garrison regiment, they surrounded and ate the invading Falcon Army. Troops." Hassen Rimbaud excitedly pressed the battle report in his hand on the table, stood up in high spirits, his eyes were burning, sweeping away the fatigue and defeat before, "Can I really become the God of War of the Empire? Or after this war, can I really become the Empire's God? Maybe even the God of War!"

At the Falcon Army base camp,

In the dark night, with thunderous hooves, an imperial messenger cavalry galloped in from the gate of the camp. Before the horse could stabilize, he jumped off the horse quickly and ran towards the brightly lit tent in the center of the camp. Inside the tent, the fat man was leisurely flipping through the Gallic troop deployment report for the central city in the Rusty region.

This report was provided by the local underground forces who had surrendered to the Falcon Army. It stated the approximate strength of the Gauls in the central city of Rusty, as well as the unit numbers. It was written in great detail. The central local garrison group with a strength of 140,000 troops. Even just the number gives people a dazzling feeling, the whole Almost none of the 24 provinces in Gaul has been left behind. From the weapon configuration of each local garrison, it can be clearly seen which area is rich and which area is poor. Combine this report with The reports provided by Hu Keqi reflect each other, and you can get more detailed content.

The fat man picked up the pen and circled the several garrison regiments reported. The officers of these garrison regiments were all nobles and came from rich areas, so they could be taken care of!

"Your Majesty, Eastern Front Military Report!" Hu Keqili walked in from outside the tent with a report and a hurried expression.

"Eastern Front? Did Crolisart's Northwest Army win the battle?" Fatty put down the report in his hand and raised his head to look at Hu Keqili, who had just arrived from the southwest with the main force of the Central Army a few days ago.

"No, Lord Krolisat encountered some troubles. Nase's defense is very tenacious! They attacked and were beaten down again. Because it was night, in order to avoid an ambush, Lord Krolisat's Northwest Army had to temporarily stop the attack." Hu Keqili said nervously. He knew that His Majesty the Falcon wanted to use warships to sweep the center line, so he was also very clear about the importance of the battle of Nase. Even he himself did not expect that the Northwest Army would fall into the inconspicuous city of Nase!

"Although I am a little disappointed, it doesn't matter." The fat man looked calm, and he didn't see any joy or sorrow. He took a look at the report and put it on the table. Hu Keqili said unexpectedly," Whether the Northwest Army can take Nase or not, it actually has no effect. Since it can't be taken down, let the Northwest Army withdraw along the original route! Fishing, fishing, I don't want the bait I put down to not catch the fish, but be swallowed by the fish!" (To be continued..)
