Realm of Power

"assault!"

Three hundred heavy reindeer battlefields were like a flock of eagles aiming at their prey in the sky. With a fast-flying arc of rotation, they smashed into the flank of the Gauls. It was dark and dark, and they were dragged out hundreds of meters long. The 7th Gallic Infantry Regiment was completely confused about the situation.

"Attention, enemy cavalry!" The Gauls mistakenly regarded these reindeer chariots, which exerted their impact on the snow to the extreme, as the cavalry of the Falcon Army. They were completely frightened by the sudden situation in front of them. Nagri's eyes were in The snowy night glows red like a beast. Like Nagri, most cold places The same is true for the warriors. Their eyes are full of naked contempt for everything. They drive reindeer as strong as ponies, galloping on the frozen ground, just like the shrill cold wind blowing across the ice field at night, bringing them with them. With an unstoppable momentum, he slammed into the scattered Gallic infantry in front.

Snap! Snap! Snap! In the place where the reindeer battlefield was passing by, the Gauls were like a row of watermelons smashed to pieces and pierced by the sharp reindeer knives. The people just hung on and continued, with all kinds of wailing sounds, which made others The Gallic soldiers felt that they were about to collapse,

"Woo!"

The shrill horns from the center troops, if a sharp sword were pierced into the ear of Paul, who had fallen into a semi-stunned state, with an expression of complete disbelief on his pale and bloodless face, everything changed too quickly, the scattered queue It has become the most deadly factor for the infantry regiment. It is hundreds of miles wide, and it is impossible to gather troops to stop it.

And when countless monsters crashed into the waist of the array, the neat and dense light of the swords, like an unstoppable sword, pierced in darkly and silently. Only then did Paul hear the sound of the reindeer pulling the sled shaking at high speed on the snow. , he saw that a squadron that bore the brunt was submerged without even a bite, and he shuddered immediately.

He looked at the tall and strong cold man who looked like a little giant on top of the monster, and was completely speechless. The terrifying scene just now was still swaying before his eyes. Gallic soldiers were running around. Behind them, the steel monster with a long dagger inserted in front of it slammed in like a whirlwind, and the sword light swept across and destroyed everything.

The entire 7th Infantry Regiment was cut into two pieces as if a huge side knife was slashed down from its weak belly and back. Facing this terrible torrent of destruction, the 7th Infantry Regiment, which had no time to adjust, was like paper pulp. They were knocked over in pieces and found unable to gather together, and their morale dropped to freezing point.

The soldiers were collapsing and running away, and some inexperienced ones were lying on the ground to hold corpses, and were directly crushed into minced meat by the reindeer chariots.

"Go on, punch through them!"

Nagli, the commander of the cold land coalition forces, shouted loudly, standing on a speeding reindeer chariot wrapped in snow-white bearskin, wearing thick armor, and the Besu tribe's emblem crown with golden threads flying on the cloak behind him. stag. The bone knife in his hand kept slashing at the head of the frightened Gallic infantry, and the yellow and white stuff splashed on Nagri's face, which in turn aroused Nagri's ferocity even more, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" He said Yelled angrily. The bone knives in their hands kept hacking the Gauls to death, and the cold infantrymen also fiercely waved huge bone knives on both sides of the battlefield that could even split heavy armor, like a hammer suddenly smashed into a pile of flour. Countless rains of blood flew into the air along with the stumps, the bloody rain, and the strong smell of blood hit their faces, but the soldiers of the new 7th Infantry Regiment equipped with light infantry equipment were completely crushed. Dismemberment!

As the ace unit in extremely cold weather, the cold area heavy infantry has an average height of two meters, and has strong cold resistance developed in extremely cold weather. Let their combat effectiveness in winter not decrease but increase

In terms of frontal combat, if it were in the ice and snow, even the Falcon regular army would not be able to face these little giants head-on, let alone the Gauls who were completely overwhelmed by the hasty attack, because they could freeze the ground. The extremely cold weather is an insurmountable problem for people of other races, but for the cold warriors who have lived in the ice and snow all their lives, it is the smell of their hometown.

Oladi, who is experienced, was the first to come to his senses. There were running soldiers everywhere. The chaos in the middle spread to both ends, and he was completely unable to control the situation. The only thing that was fortunate now was the number of assault troops rushing into the middle. It doesn't seem like a lot, But it was enough. At the first glance, Oladi knew that this raid had been planned for a long time and hit his side's weakness. The long queue could not organize an effective defense at all. On the contrary, the opponent's advance was so fast that it was simply Just like thunder and thunder,

A large number of defeated troops came face to face, directly overwhelming the troops at both ends.

"What a terrible punch through the middle tactic!" Oladi sighed in horror. Although the number of enemies is small, they are definitely real elites, while the number of people on our side is large, but they are a group of rabble who cannot fight. Thinking of it Still struggling on the lake, there is nothing left The new Fifth Corps of Gaul, which could not escape the fate of destruction, thought that the Falcon Army's tacit and strange movement of the camp just now was just to make their own side move, and then these heavy monsters, which came and went almost silently, were released to complete the entire battle. The final blow,

Thinking of this, Oladi felt a tremor in his heart. The person who set up the whole trap was not just scary. If he was not crazy and unbelievable, he was as calm as the cold winter in front of him. With a disadvantage of 20,000 The army ambushed a strong force of 60,000 people. The other side calculated every step and led our side. Step by step, his nose was pushed to the point of desperation, but we didn't see any signs. What convinced Oladi the most was that the opponent's timing of attack had reached the point of being unpredictable. There was no end in sight on the opposite side. In the dark night, there must be a pair of eyes that can penetrate everything, but I don’t know who that person is!

"Sir, you can't hesitate any longer. Either order the teams to hold on or evacuate immediately!" Oladi said loudly to Paul, who was already panicking. "The enemy's goal is to penetrate us. There must be more troops behind us. If we don't want to Being crucified here, you must make a choice immediately!

"Will we be crucified? No, isn't the opponent's target the Fifth Infantry Regiment?" Paul was startled when he heard this, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were bloodshot. Isn't this the worst? The situation changed so fast that he couldn't react at all.

"Definitely! Because the opponent's target is actually us," Oladi replied with certainty. "At first, I thought the opponent's target was Hondubai's 5th Infantry Regiment. But now, I can be sure that the opponent's real trump card is actually us." It falls on us, because Hong Dubai's Fifth Infantry Regiment is basically dead. On the contrary, as long as we are eliminated, even if the new Fifth Infantry Regiment can fight to the death, it will still be the result of being hunted down and wiped out!"

"Then..." Paul was at a loss for a moment. He was just a commander of the logistics force. He spent all his time in the army in the position of the Imperial Logistics Department. He thought that he was about to face someone like the Fifth Infantry Regiment. Such a tragic ending makes your face turn pale! He secretly cursed that he shouldn't have come to this muddy water. If it weren't for the strength of the 5th Infantry Regiment and its absolute advantage, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't have come to this battlefield on the shores of Lake Nass.

"Give up some people! That's all!"

Oladi looked solemnly at the troops that had been completely cut into two parts. His face hesitated for a while before he said, "If you can't make a decision, more people will die! As a commander, decision-making comes first, and then strategy, just like when Lord Yard was It’s the same as in the Battle of the Southern Swamps. You must first have the determination to fight, and then think about how to win.”

"Yes. Yes, decision-making comes first!" Hearing this excellent reason for retreat. Paul nodded repeatedly and ordered loudly, "Everyone gather towards me! Evacuate immediately! A very strange scene appeared in the battle. On one side, the Fifth Infantry Regiment of Gaul was throwing stones and bombs on the lake, crying for their fathers and mothers. The falcon shooters who occupied the retreat shot wildly, leaving many people dead on the biting ice. The other side had no intention of rescuing them. Instead, they threw away some of the soldiers with the determination of a brave man and retreated hastily. .

"Damn it, I knew the bastards of the 7th Infantry Regiment were unreliable! We were sold!"

Hong Dubai, commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment, cursed angrily on the ice that was littered with corpses. The lake surface, which was more than 100 meters wide, had already been pockmarked by stone bombs. In some places, the ice cracked, and people fell directly into it. After a while, they became the same color as the ice. As the 7th Infantry Regiment gave up the rescue, the 5th Gallic Infantry Regiment, which was attacked from two sides, was already in a desperate situation.

The huge hard stone bullet hit the ice, the ice shattered, and the huge rolling stone bounced up. The trend continued unabated, like a violently thrown bowling ball, continuing to drag out an unstoppable line of flesh and blood in front of it. There was a scream, and countless pieces of meat were falling in the air like falling rain. The blood mixed with the firelight illuminated the entire lake. Hong Dubai watched his soldiers being swept in and being blown away by countless flying rocks.

"My lord, evacuate immediately!" someone shouted loudly

"Retreat, where to retreat!" One of Hong Dubai's legs was broken and he was being carried by a tall attendant. He glanced at the retreat route behind and knew that the Fifth Infantry Regiment was completely finished. Behind, the surrounding Falcons and their thick and tall infantry heavy shields formed a neat military formation. Some Gallic soldiers who turned back and fled to the lakeside were pushed back into the river.

There were still a large number of Gallic soldiers crowded together at the edge of the lake. They could not rush up, but they were unwilling to return to the lake, so they hid in this area where they would not be hit by stone bombs.

The Falcon infantrymen stood on the shore of the lake holding bayonets and shields, and stabbed the heads of the densely packed Gallic soldiers who turned around and fled. As soon as the Gallic soldiers climbed onto the lake, they were pierced through the head with a heavy gun. Some Falcons The heavy gunner did not stop, but continued to move forward. He stepped into the lake with one foot, splashing white blood.

"Your Majesty, do you need to order a pursuit?"

Hu Keqili, who was on the other side of the lake, saw this strange scene and his jaw hit the ground. This time he really did a great job. With less than 20,000 troops, he surrounded the fifth infantry regiment, which was the most powerful among the Gallic Kyoto troops. We also have to face the eager gaze of another Gallic legion with as many as 30,000 people. This is simply a crazy move. While surrounding the enemy, he also stuffed himself into the enemy's teeth. But now, everyone can see that the overall situation has been decided. The 30,000-strong Gallic Army was actually overwhelmed by only a few hundred reindeer chariots. Falling, running back like crazy, the collapse is like a dam bursting, nothing can stop it, as far as the eye can see. There was panic and destruction everywhere. The fleeing cavalry collided with the infantry and kicked many people over.

, that night, due to the chaos of the retreat, half of the battle losses of the 7th Infantry Regiment came from the retreat.

"Pursuit? Do you still have the strength to pursue?" The wind of war broke out. The battle flags were clattering behind him. The fat man stood less than 50 meters away from the lake. The cold night wind blew his black hair like night.

"Well... no more, unless the slinger is sent up too!" Hu Keqili smiled awkwardly. Behind him, the slingshot man's shirtless upper body was steaming with white air in the cold night, and there were big stars. The human-height rolling stone was pushed into the catapult, with a crackling sound. The huge rolling stone flew into the air, began to fall fifty meters away, and then hit the smooth and hard lake surface heavily.

It was hard to tell whether it was broken ice or bloody water on the lake. Finally, a group of Gallic soldiers risked their lives and rushed to the lakeside wetland. What greeted them were thousands of long spears as neat as brushes, all with their spear points facing forward. , the Gallic soldiers with no way out screamed ferociously, rushed forward, and were pierced by countless spears. More and more Gallic soldiers of the 5th Infantry Regiment rushed ashore, countless arrow clusters flew, blood spattered, and a thin layer of blood mist seemed to rise from the lakeside.

"Papa!" The bowstring sounded,

A thousand Ciwa longbowmen rushed to the battlefield at seven o'clock in the evening. They fired with great force, as if they had sentenced the Fifth Infantry Regiment to the final death sentence, until no more moving objects could be seen on the lake. The long archer of Ciwa stopped before he could finish his work.

When the light of the next morning illuminates the earth. The lake in front of them was covered with ice again, and the corpses of countless Gallic soldiers were densely frozen in the ice like frozen fish. Broken spears and battle flags were stuck diagonally on the ice, and there were no survivors. The corpse below still looks lifelike, with pain written all over its face.

Someone who was the instigator rode a war horse, frowned slightly and made a large circle from the edge of the lake to the other side of the lake. Thinking that the eyes of a fish look like the eyes of a dead person, even a guy who thinks he is very courageous is a little surprised! remember. Next spring, the fish in this lake will definitely not be eaten!

In the office of the Gallic Ministry of Military Affairs, Yalde, the general manager of the Lu-Kingdu front, stood in front of the window and stared at the distant sky. He suddenly felt an unquenchable heart palpitation. The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the mirror-like sky was rare. A bit of blue was exposed. Since he became the general manager of the Kyoto Front, he has eaten and drank in this office. On the desk behind him, there is a combat plan signed two days ago. The plan is called "Antu". pull"

After learning that the Saronian Legion of the Falcon Army was approaching the important northern town of Antura and intended to attack this important town that was of great significance to the entire Gaul and the entire north, he was preparing this plan in his heart. He was currently on the Kyoto front. The Falcon Army only has the Hu Keqili Corps, one of the most powerful warriors of the Falcon Empire, with a population of about 30,000.

As for Gaul and Kyoto, since the arrival of 50,000 Eastern Army troops, the original number of hundreds of thousands of Kyoto troops has exceeded 200,000, sweeping away the danger caused by the approach of the prairie cavalry to Kyoto in the previous two months. If not for the concern, The rock fortress controlled by the Hu Keqili Corps is a typical terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Falcon Army's defense is notoriously abnormal. He has already assembled heavy troops to recapture this place before winter comes. It is the gateway to Kyoto. Now that winter has arrived, the land outside Kyoto has long been frozen. Even if the Falcon Army has enough horse-drawn sleighs, only 30,000 troops are not enough to threaten Kyoto. Under such circumstances, the secret Mobilize part of the troops to go north to Antura. If they can kill the Falcon Empire's high-profile northward march of the Salon Army in one bite, Kyoto will be able to withdraw its hands from the north and deal with the Falcon Army in front of them with peace of mind.

"Sir, urgent military report!" The door of the office was pushed open by the adjutant. The young adjutant, who was always in neat uniforms, looked a little embarrassed today.

"What happened?" Yalder asked with a slight frown on his eyebrows. Now the Kyoto front is completely dominant for Gaul. The Falcon Army's combat strength is only 30,000, and no new Falcon Army troops have been received yet. The intelligence came in, and Kyoto sent 50,000 people northward two days ago, and the remaining troops are several times the Falcon Army. It is really hard to see that there will be any problems.

"Sir, Mr. Paul of the New 7th Infantry Regiment reported that Mr. Hondubai's new 5th Infantry Regiment was completely destroyed in the battle with the Falcon Army on the banks of Sina Lake yesterday! Mr. Paul's 7th Infantry Regiment also lost four There are more than a thousand people, please request immediate reinforcements from the base camp!" The adjutant hesitated and said with a slightly trembling voice, holding the report as if he were holding a red-hot iron!

"What! The whole army of the New Fifth Infantry Regiment has been wiped out." Yarde's eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly turned around from the window. He tied his hands over the report and glanced over it. His eyes immediately filled with blood, as if they were covered with a mask. Dense layers of bloodshot eyes,

The new Fifth Infantry Regiment is one of the most powerful infantry regiments among the Kyoto front troops, with a full strength of more than 30,000 people. It is also the main infantry regiment with 3,000 tenacious Gallic Guards serving as middle and lower-level officers. Infantry Commander Hong Dubois is a famous general in the Northern Army. Both in terms of combat experience and command ability, he is second to none in the Kyoto Line.

This full-scale infantry regiment, equivalent to a legion, was destroyed overnight on the shores of Lake Nass. This is really unbelievable.

"Lord Paul of the New Seventh Infantry Regiment also said..." The adjutant hesitated for a moment and hesitated to speak.

"What did you say?" Yald raised his head angrily (To be continued...)
