Realm of Power

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the fifth flag regiment of the Falcon Empire, Reposti, began to orderly call back the melee infantry in front of them. The imperial crossbowmen at the rear of the infantry also received the order for final shooting cover. Under the dark clouds, Under the sky, the dark night wind howled across the battlefield where countless frozen corpses were frozen.

"Order, shoot out all the arrows within five minutes, and don't leave any arrows behind! Run immediately after shooting! Run from the lake!" The messenger ordered the cavalry to gallop behind the linear array of elite crossbowmen, pulling the horse in a spin. , conveyed the order loudly, and then immediately ran to the next crossbowmen queue. Similar orders were passed from one queue to another.

"Did you hear everything?"

The elite crossbow shooter Zach looked around. His hand holding the crossbow was shaking slightly. He fought fiercely for several hours and pulled the bow string dozens of times. Even if there was a string opener, continuously pulling the crossbow string for powerful sniping was not enough. The crossbowmen were physically exhausted. Ten of the fifty elite crossbowmen in the entire team had already withdrawn from the firing queue early due to lack of physical strength.

"Everyone has it, the last three rounds of shooting! Use your last strength! Let us kill happily!" Zach glanced at these companions who were unable to shoot but did not evacuate, and shouted loudly Yell, even though my voice is hoarse after screaming all afternoon It was as unpleasant as a torn bellows, but at this moment it was like a dull hammer hitting the wooden pile, making all the remaining crossbowmen look firmly and shoot the arrow clusters stuck upside down on the ground. Pull out the branches and skillfully use the string puller to pull the bow string to perfection.

In the darkness, it was no longer possible to accurately lock the target. The crossbowmen could only aim neatly at the gap created by the evacuation of a group of infantry. The bow strings were stretched to the extreme, making a tight crunching sound. The sharp cold light of the arrows made the cold The night also solidified, a row of dark figures

"Forward!" came the Gaulish voice from the gap ahead.

"Shoot!" Zach yelled. The vibrating sound of the bowstring that was quickly drawn was like a heavy rain falling to the ground, and the white line like a waterfall hit like hailstones towards the Gauls' queue. A group of Gaulish infantry was the first to be hit in the front, "Pop! Pah!" Snap! The arrows defeated the Gauls. The armor, the body inside exploded with countless blood sprays in an instant, and the white line shot out was like a sharp cutting knife, cutting through the front of this group of Gallic infantry. A group of Gallic soldiers who had just crossed the gap were like being struck by a Rows of invisible sickles cut and fell to the ground,

"Go forward! Don't be afraid. They have no more arrows." The Gallic war team was still shouting crazily from behind. Seeing the situation in front, they were startled and immediately changed their words and shouted, "Go forward, they are almost out of arrows! Who is first?" He rushed forward, received a bounty of 100 coins, and was directly promoted to squadron leader. "Hearing such conditions, the Gallic infantry moved forward fearlessly as if they were on fire. Groups of people walked across the snow filled with arrow clusters and corpses, and rushed forward like crazy. "Pah! Pah! Pah! The second row of crossbows came quickly, and the Gallic infantry fell again.

"Damn it, who said they have no arrows!" The Gallic infantry behind them lay on the ground desperately. Protecting their bodies with shields, their figures began to be illuminated by the firelight on the battlefield when they were fifty meters away, and the accurate crossbow arrows began to become sharp and terrifying. A Gallic soldier's head was half exposed from behind his shield. He wanted to take a look at the situation in front, but was shot from the front by a crossbow arrow. The arrow entered from the front and exited from the back of the head.

"Hold on! There is one last round of shooting!" Zach put down the sniper crossbow in his hand, shouted hysterically, struggled to pull the bow string with the hanger, half-bent, and leaned against the mouth of a bowl. The big evergreen tree was blowing out white air from its big mouth. His eyes were still calm as he looked into the distance, even though it was as ferocious as hell.

On the shore of this lake less than 500 meters away, countless figures are squirming, twitching, and bleeding. Other archers are already retreating. The bright metal armor of the Gauls is reflected in the firelight, and the red and white ground is Corpses littered the fields, blood seeped into the soil, and goose-feather-like snow danced and dripped in the night wind. Among the bloody corpses of soldiers from both sides, the battle flags stuck on the ground were dyed white by the heavy snow, and the blood stains on them were faintly visible. The layers of corpses formed a clear black line on the battle line between the two sides. Tens of thousands of The corpse turned into white ice in the extreme cold, like a huge crack in this cold world.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very clear. The Gauls were determined to bite the tail of the evacuated Fifth Flag Regiment. They rushed madly against the wind and snow. As night fell, the situation on the battlefield quickly took a turn. Gauls, the night makes the falcon crossbowmen see The battlefield has been greatly reduced, and the long battle has increased the losses of the Falcon infantry. Now even an ordinary soldier in Gaul knows that as long as he can break through the increasingly weak infantry line of the Falcon Army on the opposite side, he can kill them severely in an afternoon. The rear crossbowmen troops who lost tens of thousands of their companions,

As the last rear guard, Zach's face was extremely determined. He pulled out the last arrow cluster, put it into the crossbow slot, took a deep breath, calmed down his rapid breathing after shooting five arrows in a row, and used He used all his strength to slam down the crossbow and "bang!" There was a clear and sweet sound of the bowstring vibrating, and the arrow was like a white line, shooting into a Gauls who was less than thirty meters away from him. On his chest, he saw the Gauls looking at him in astonishment. He was a very young blond man. Zach had shot all the two arrow clusters he brought today, which had already exceeded the required 20 arrows. He died in He had at least thirty Gauls in his hands, but only this last one reminded him of what a young face he had. I wonder if he was thirteen years old! For this war, the Gauls have sent even such children to the battlefield.

Zach looked away from a distance, turned around and ran away. He saw his companions next to him stunned for a moment, and a voice like a howling like a ghost came. Why are you standing there stupidly, waiting for the Gauls' spears to lick you? Butt! "Hearing the captain's voice, the determined expressions of the crossbowmen suddenly disappeared. It was like a drop of water falling into the oil pan, causing the pan to explode. Fifty or sixty of them had just expressed their intention to kill the Gauls one by one. The crossbowmen didn't care about the twenty-meter-long slope from their feet to the lake. They rolled down one by one in a very ungraceful manner.

Bang bang bang! The body came into close contact with the hard ice, hitting everything, and there was a cry, "Damn, don't block the road, I will kill anyone who stands in my way!" Some people were cursing in the dark, while others were wailing in pain, "A bunch of unloyal things." ah. Just like that ungrateful captain, who stepped on my lap! "

Hondubo, the commander of the 5th Gallic Infantry Regiment, looked at the completely collapsed Falcon Army. His face shone with excitement and his eyes were bright. He did not expect that the commander of the Falcon Army would choose to freeze directly. Evacuate from the lake. On such a frozen lake, it is very difficult not to mention running, but even normal walking. It is conceivable that the Falcon Army who evacuated from the lake must still be struggling on the lake at this moment. The commander of the other party must have panicked and lost his way. . What a God-given opportunity, "The whole army is pressing forward! Pursue along the lake, we must not let them escape!" He loudly ordered all the troops to catch up! We must kill all of this defeated falcon army! This will be the most glorious counterattack of the Gallic Empire in several years!

"Sir, Sir Paul requested that our army encircle another Falcon Army from the flanks!" A messenger cavalry galloped over.

"Encirclement? Why didn't he take the initiative to encircle me when I was fighting the hardest!" Upon hearing such a request, Uncle Hongdu, who was so excited just now and prepared to become famous in a battle, was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was fighting here for a living. After several hours of fighting, half of the 30,000-man army was crippled, and Paul, who should have attacked from the flank an hour ago. But they were just passively confronting another Falcon Army. Now that the situation was completely won, they actually asked themselves to encircle them. Hong Dubo was extremely dissatisfied and secretly cursed. Of course, he was unwilling to do such a thing as helping them make wedding clothes. What he needs now is to expand the results of the battle, so he said to the messenger cavalry in a somewhat mocking tone, "Tell Mr. Paul that when I clean up the escaping Falcon Army, I will encircle him. Mr. Paul, please insist on holding on." Enemy flank"

"Catch up!" The new Fifth Infantry Regiment, who received the pursuit order, rushed frantically from the lake to the frozen lake below.

"Asshole, that's an arrogant guy who only thinks about himself."

After receiving the reply, Paul threw the riding crop to the ground with his white-gloved right hand and cursed Hondubai for his ingratitude. If he hadn't held back the falcon army that was reinforcing from the flank, Hondubai's new fifth infantry regiment would have been chewed up by the two merging falcon armies, not even the bones and dregs were left.

"My lord, I think now is the time to attack!" said a Gallic general beside him.

"Attack?" Paul glanced at the general, then at the motionless Falcon formation on the opposite side, and groaned with dissatisfaction. "You also saw it. With a force of two to one, Hong Dubai The New Fifth Infantry Regiment paid such a heavy price to defeat the Falcon Army, which was half as strong as ours! When it comes to combat power, Hong Dubai's New Fifth Infantry Regiment is superior to us, and he has it after all. There are 3,000 Guards and 10,000 heavy infantry, but what do we have? The weapons are all eliminated from the front-line troops. It takes less than 2 months from the time the soldiers are formed to being put on the battlefield. Most of them The soldiers have only seen blood. How do you want them to fight against the Falcon Army? To be fair, even if we can fight, can we achieve the same momentum as the new Fifth Infantry Regiment?

"The current situation is actually more beneficial to us!" the Gallic general responded.

"What do you mean?" Paul's expression perked up, revealing a hint of astonishment.

The Gallic general explained, "The current situation is that the enemy's flanks have collapsed, and the enemy in front of us is a lone army. Unless the opponent wants to face the flanking attack of our two armies, they must break away and retreat as quickly as possible. That's right." This is the best opportunity for our army to attack. The enemy's army is worried. During the movement and it is dark, if our army takes the opportunity to attack quickly and violently, the enemy will inevitably be confused when the back road is a smooth lake. The weather, time and location are all on our side. If we defeat the Falcon Army on the opposite side, the situation will be It’s two different things, we will be the first to win this battle! "

"The first achievement? It should be Hondubai's new Fifth Infantry Regiment! After all, he was the first to defeat the Falcon Army!" Paul shook his head in confusion.

"Sir, the so-called first contribution is not based on who defeats the enemy first, but based on who gets the greater result after the war!" General Gaul smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Our army has been recharging its energy and strength. It is better than the new Fifth Infantry Regiment that Hondubai fought fiercely for an afternoon, and our army also has cavalry, which can expand the results of the battle. , the exhausted new Fifth Infantry Regiment can't compete with us at all! As long as we defeat the enemy on the opposite side and enter the pursuit battle, Hondubai's infantry will change from the main attack to the subordinate, and all the glory of this battle will be achieved! It must be attributed to you, but if our army just sits back and watches such an excellent fighter plane disappear before our eyes, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto!"

"It makes sense. If we can catch one or two generals of the Falcon Army, we will be proud and proud!" Paul chuckled after hearing this. I knew that it was right to request that you, General Oladi, be transferred to our new Seventh Infantry Regiment from among the personnel assigned to the east. Among so many generals, you are the only one who can tell that you are indeed worthy of being the one who followed me. The attendant at Lord Ard's side,

"That was all in the past. The current Oradi no longer exists. My name is Oradi now, and I am just an affairs officer!" The Gallic general with a somewhat vicissitudes of face smiled bitterly. His name was Oradi. Dee. The military adjutant of the former chief of the Northern Army of Gaul, Arde, because his wife came from a prominent family in the northwest region, was affected by the previous purge storm. When the Northern Army was at its peak, he was censored by the Gallic Kyoto troops. He was secretly detained, and after more than a month of review, he was finally released. However, he was stripped of all his previous military ranks and positions, and was appointed as the peace officer of a small town in the eastern region of the empire. Because Yard admired his talent, and there was no problem after review, he was transferred to the new 7th Infantry Regiment, which had the weakest combat power, as an affairs officer, but his name was changed to Osti.

The New 7th Infantry Regiment is a new regiment formed by the refugees in Kyoto, Gaul at the end of July. The soldiers were put into battle after only two months of training. The equipment was all defective products eliminated by the front-line troops. Therefore, they were generally used as logistical support for other infantry regiments. Their special logistical role was used in the newly formed 11th Infantry in Gaul. Inside the Corps. It is the only unit with a large number of horses. It has a light cavalry regiment of about 2,000 people, and the infantry is mainly light infantry. Because they are always stationed near the logistics line, they are also scornfully called the "Logistics Regiment" by other combat troops.

"Report, the Falcon Army on the opposite side is retreating!" The news brought by the scout cavalry made Paul excited.

"Are you sure it's a retreat?" he asked loudly.

"Yes, sir, although it is not very clear in the dark, the infantry in front of the opponent is indeed moving, and the enemy's archer formation is also moving!" the scout cavalry replied with certainty.

"Is the direction they are moving in?" Unexpectedly, Oladi, who had just encouraged Paul to attack, suddenly frowned and asked.

"What's wrong? What's the problem? Didn't you say they would evacuate soon?" Paul looked at him puzzled.

"There is something wrong with the situation. If it is to evacuate, the other side will not do it so obviously. Why should they put on a posture of fighting to the end, and then slowly mobilize the troops, trying their best to avoid being seen by us, instead of being like this first, wishing for all The army is moving!" the experienced Oladi shook his head.

"According to this, the scout cavalry seemed to have sensed something. He looked a little nervous and said, "The direction the Falcon Army on the opposite side is moving seems to be the east side of the lake where the fierce battle just happened! "

"East side!" Paul's expression changed. He was not a fool to serve as the commander of the New Seventh Infantry Regiment. On the contrary, the reason why Yard selected him was because of his outstanding logistics capabilities and the combat power configuration of the New Seventh Infantry Regiment. Destined to miss the tragic frontline battle, it is mainly about logistics. In this regard, Paul's ability is quite recognized.

"Hondu Bai's Fifth Infantry Regiment! The Falcon Army is going to cut off their retreat. They are crazy. The other commander must be crazy. I really can't understand it!" Oladi also couldn't believe it, it was so arrogant. , the other party completely ignored his existence, and actually closed the door and killed him in front of him, just like changing the flag!

Just when the two of them didn't know what to say, the soldiers behind suddenly began to waver, "Oh, my God! What is that!" Some soldiers exclaimed in disbelief, and the two looked in the direction of the soldiers' exclaims. , I was dumbfounded for a moment, countless red meteors shot from the other side of the lake Slowly rising on one side, the illuminated sky was filled with blood red. They were countless flaming sling bombs, dragging their long tails of thick black smoke and slamming down toward the center of the lake. With bang bang, red light shot out everywhere. Several hundred meters away, the two of them saw countless black spots flying in the red light.

"Fifth Infantry Regiment!"

The two looked at each other in shock. There was no doubt that the Fifth Infantry Regiment on the lake was the opponent's ambush target. Although the new Fifth Infantry Regiment still had more than 10,000 people, they encountered such a situation on the slippery ice. No matter how thick the armor was, it was useless. The Falcon Army that had just moved to the east had already occupied the area that had been abandoned before. Countless crossbow arrows were fired at the soldiers of the 5th Gallic Infantry Regiment running around and wailing on the lake.

"Advance the entire army, capture the east side of the lake, and rescue the Fifth Infantry Regiment!" Paul shouted with a pale face. He could not sit back and watch the elite front-line troops like the new Fifth Infantry Regiment be completely destroyed on this lake, otherwise he would be killed. If the new 7th Infantry Regiment is brought back intact, it will also be praised by Mr. Yard. The knife was cut. Because of the haste of the incident, the entire 7th Infantry Regiment was completely in chaos. A group of people swarmed towards the east side. The queue was dragged out and was very sparse. They were not elite infantry fighting on the front line. This time Like a stretched noodle, even the commander Paul cannot control the situation

"Boom!"

A slight tremor on the ground came from the opposite side. Because the surroundings were in chaos, no one noticed the abnormal sound. The cautious Oladi stopped unexpectedly. He looked at the position of the Falcon Army that had previously faced off. That's the west end of the lake,

intact,

The Falcon Army's incendiary sling bombs were all placed on the eastern section. "Boom!" The broken snow flew like a sharp blade pulled out in the dark night, and a vague and fast black line suddenly emerged from where the Falcon Army was just now.

Reindeer as big as ponies with sharp daggers tied to their antlers leapt out like a tsunami and landslide. The Falcon Army that had just drifted away was more likely to do this than to block the retreat of the 5th Infantry Regiment. The sharp knife was unsheathed and cleared the way.

On the front of this sharp knife is the unprepared side of the 30,000 recruits of the new 7th Infantry Regiment of Gaul, who have been extremely scattered. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
