Realm of Power

In the direction of the non-camp, there are so many tent roofs that it is impossible to count. The camp is composed of hundreds or thousands of tents. Along with the white and cold milk river next to it, it looks like two rivers. In the plain woodland outside the non-military camp, the dense coniferous forest made a snapping sound in the rain.

"Isn't there something wrong?"

Yagelins felt a little uneasy in his heart. He tapped the riding whip lightly on his riding boots, and his anxious eyes occasionally glanced at the inhumane camp hundreds of meters away in front of him.

"The entire squadron that massacred the enemy should have some reaction!"

Yagelins's voice talking to himself fluttered in the wind. It has been almost an hour since he deliberately placed a few baits into the camp. There is still no sign of the Gangfei military camp being dispatched. Yagelins doesn't know if the other party has seen through the abnormality, or whether The other party is not that concerned about the Falcon Army's withdrawal. If it is the former, the frontal The opponent's commander is a person with keen eyesight. This will be a very difficult opponent. If it is the latter, it is the most unpredictable, because you don't know what the other party wants to do. Such a person, or A rookie who just entered the battlefield, or a veteran with decades of battlefield experience.

It's like gambling. It's the most anxious moment when the market doesn't open.

"Woo woo" represents the urgent assembly of the military trombone. At this moment, the military trombone sounded in the direction of the Gangfei military camp. Like a huge hedgehog sensing danger, the Gangfei camp suddenly exuded a tense and forbidding atmosphere, like A beast awakens, and there are people everywhere As he ran, he could vaguely see a large group of people gathering in the camp, a group of infantrymen holding spears in their hands, and a cavalry unit on their horse. Amidst the sound of "wuwu" trombones, there were more than a dozen gates in the camp that looked like fangs. The porridge was opened neatly and neatly at the same time,

For a moment, the earth shook. A rumble of horse hooves broke the roar of the rain curtain, and the cavalry troops were seen rushing out from the gates of more than a dozen camps like a river bursting its dam. The cavalry horses' hooves trampled quickly on the muddy ground. , formed on the earth It's like a strange scene of rising pale mist. Judging from the number of people, the opponent's cavalry has more than 25,000, and they are well-equipped. They are marching at high speed across the plains without forgetting to send out the scout light cavalry in the front. It can be seen that they have combat experience. Rich commander. "Sir, the enemy is heading towards the Watto Fortress. It seems that the enemy has taken the bait!" A cavalry captain approached Yagelins with an excited look and said

"Let's go back!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Yagelinsi's mouth, and he waved to the cavalry behind him. The goal was achieved, and there was a danger of being exposed if he stayed here. Although he was hundreds of meters away, he also burst out from the Gangfei cavalry. The fierce momentum. These cavalry were definitely elite troops. The opposing commander showed the emotion of being determined to win, and the prey that had been waiting for them suddenly slipped away. This would happen to anyone, but in the direction of Watto Fortress, everything has been arranged.

The corpses of hundreds of Congolese cavalry who had been killed in previous battles. There is also the empty and missing Watto Fortress, no matter how calm the commander is, in this disturbing rain. He will inevitably search everywhere for traces of the Falcon Army's retreat like crazy. What else can make the other party make a more powerful conclusion than large and dense horse hoof prints?

As a successful bait, it must be able to arouse the hatred of the stalker and leave traces for the stalker. He left five hundred subordinates in the direction of the fortress. As long as the opponent bites the "clue" and follows the If they pursue the route, it is a dead end. What awaits them at the end will be the death ambush circle designed by Rebolins' 30,000 troops.

The cavalry of Yaglins had just left. At the front of the queue of the Gangfei cavalry, a middle-aged general in a red cloak and dark gold armor suddenly stopped his horse and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the distant woods with a flash in his eyes. After a moment of confusion, "Sir Resker, what's wrong?"

Next to him, another Gangfei cavalry general came up from behind and asked after listening to his horse.

The man who stopped his horse was the Marquis of Leske, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Royal Guards, and the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guards. The general who asked him was the Marquis of Danculon, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. Both cavalry regiments were The ace unit of the Imperial Guard is also the biggest trump card that Gangfei has the confidence to use 50,000 main force to ambush the 30,000 Falcon Army this time.

In the vast and infinite plains, the space for infantry formation defense will be greatly reduced.

The surprise attack of elite cavalry is the most lethal weapon in the field. Even if it is rumored that the crossbows of the Falcon Army can face the heavy cavalry head-on, in the face of a fatal charge launched by nearly the same number of elite cavalry in the open field, the 30,000 soldiers who havetily responded The elite Falcon Army has no choice but to collapse! "Don't you think that forest is too quiet?"

Reske raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed it at the place where Yaglins was hiding just now, and said in a cold tone, "The huge momentum of our cavalry shocked the rest of the forest. Only there, not even a bird could be seen." , I suspect there is a spy from the Falcon Army inside!"

After hearing Reske's words, Marquis Danculon said confidently

"Our current mission is to rush to the Watto Fortress as quickly as possible, confirm the condition of the fortress, and look for traces of the Falcon Army's escape. Even if there are scouts from the Falcon Army on the side, they have no chance to return to report now! Because our scouts The cavalry is faster than them! The most important thing now is to hurry. If we delay for too long, all traces will disappear on such a rainy day!"

"Lord Danculon is right, I worry too much!" Resker nodded, no longer hesitated, raised his riding whip and shouted to the cavalry, "Quick, speed up!"

Two hours later, the hoofbeats of the Gangfei cavalry group shredded the rain curtain in front of the Watto Fortress like rolling thunder. A faint black line became larger and larger. Gangfei's forward scout cavalry had entered the fortress area. A scout cavalry captain was waiting outside. Looking at the black line emerging on the horizon in the distance, the scout cavalry man faced him with an ugly expression, "Stop!"

Resker raised his hand, and the cavalry group behind him stopped their horses neatly.

In front is the Watto Fortress, which is over a thousand meters long and wide. The huge city wall is like a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the rain. This fortress is the dividing line between southern and central Congo. It has protected the Congo Empire from wind and rain for hundreds of years. It was once an important stronghold of the Empire's Southern Army. At its peak, the garrison reached More than 50,000 people,

Looking to the south, the huge fortress that dominates the middle realm now only has a kind of heart-breaking loneliness, full of abjection and obsolescence.

Captain Gang Fei stopped his horse twenty meters in front of Reske. Quickly turning over and jumping off the horse, he quickly came to Reske, performed a military salute, and reported, "General, the Watto Fortress is indeed empty. We did not find the presence of the Falcon Army, but outside the fortress, we found The human-headed tower! They are all ours, at least a human-headed tower with 300 people! The other party is provoking us." The scout captain's voice was trembling with anger, "What are you talking about? ! "

Lesk's hand holding the reins of his war horse made a rattling sound. His eyes suddenly became as ferocious as blood.

"Take me to see it!" He angrily got off his horse. Under the leadership of the scout captain, he walked firmly towards the fortress. An object standing several meters tall gradually appeared in his sight.

It was a tower of heads made of the heads of five hundred Gang Fei Guards cavalry. Layers of bloody heads surrounded a flag of the Gang Fei Guards that was fluttering palely in the wind and rain. The flag was torn into rags. . It had already been stained red by human blood, revealing a shuddering coldness.

In front of the head tower is the head of a non-officer. He was thrust into the ground with a sword alone,

It was the face of a young officer that could not be ignored. His blond curly hair was soaked by the rain and stuck to the young man's pale cheeks. It must have been caused by excessive blood loss. The strong eyebrows and the closed lips were blue, but those eyes. The eyes full of anger were still bulging with anger, looking straight ahead. The feeling was like an unyielding flame burning inside, glaring at the enemy's dropped sword, and unwillingly issued a fighting cry. roar! It seems that he is still fighting after death!

"Assholes, these bastards of the Falcon Army actually humiliate my brave warriors like this! It is indeed the custom of the barbarians. They say that the Falcon Empire is a barbarian from outside the continent! It seems to be true!" Dan Cullen The Marquis said angrily, while Resker had no background. He just took off his helmet, tucked it into the crook of his left arm, and stopped in front of the tower of heads.

His strong right hand firmly grasped the hilt of the long sword, secretly exerting force, and his arm unusually slowly pulled out the family sword from his head. The blade of the sword rubbed against the skull and made an unyielding cry. It was a golden dagger. The family sword, the classic sharp blade base is engraved with the family's imprint.

The silver-white lines form an Ain flower vine that blooms dazzlingly in the flames. On both sides of the coat of arms there is a line of subtle text "Peace in fire, the dead return", which has a majestic feeling in the rain. , bright and dazzling, it is the coat of arms of the Sharad family, and it is also the most sincere respect of the people of Gangfei for the fallen warriors.

The moment he saw the head of the non-officer, Resker knew who it was.

When setting off, he was entrusted by Rashad, hoping that he could find the body of Rashad's son Bokarashad in the Watto Fortress. He heard that the squadron who desperately brought back the news this time was the cavalry of the Bokarashad squadron. , less than ten of the entire squadron of five hundred people escaped alive, which shows how brutal the battle was.

"What an outstanding young man, he is simply the younger version of Sharad! What a pity." Resker heard Dan Cullen sighing next to him. It seemed that Sharad had also entrusted him with the same task. "What should I do? It's on the spot. Bury it, or..." Dan Kulun looked embarrassed and asked him for advice.

"We can't stay here for too long, and I believe Sharad doesn't want to see his son separated from his subordinates. Leave a hundred people to bury these, and bring this back to General Sharad!" Reske! With blood in his eyes, he turned his back and handed the Sharad family heraldic sword in his hand to the adjutant behind him.

Everyone could hear the murderous intent in his gritted teeth tone that was as cold as the rain in front of him. He took a deep breath and looked at the scout captain, "Have you found the direction of the Falcon Army's evacuation?" "Not yet." ! "The scout captain trembled slightly and knelt down on one knee. On top, the rain hit him and flowed to the ground along the lock plates of the metal armor. His face was pale and ugly, with a look of shame on his face. He reported, "This time the Falcon Army evacuated too suddenly, and what they did was done." Treatment to eliminate traces, coupled with heavy rain cleaning, so...

"I have asked my subordinates to expand the search area to five miles. The withdrawal of the 30,000-strong army will leave traces no matter what." "Then as soon as possible, I will wait here!"

Reske's tone was as serious as ice, and he got on his horse without fear of wind and rain, "Sir, please enter the fortress to take shelter from the rain!" the scout captain said, "No. I am here, in front of these dead warriors!" Reske's expression dignified pendulum He waved his hand. Behind him, raindrops hit the metal armor of the cavalry group, like a layer of white mist. There was a silent killing. No one was looking for a place to take shelter from the rain, even though it was less than a hundred meters ahead. The spacious Watto Fortress,

"Woo!" Suddenly, a rapid sound of horns came from the southeast. The sound of the trumpet is rapid and powerful,

The scout captain's face suddenly became overjoyed. This was the scout's call to arms. He had caught the cunning opponent! Soon, a scout cavalry galloped over, jumped off the horse before the horse could stop, and said loudly, "Report, three miles southeast, we discovered the enemy's rear cavalry. We also found a large number of horse hoof prints."

"Southeast! It's the road leading to the Biang Beach! It's not suitable for large groups to march there!" Reske's eyes lit up. "In such heavy rain, the opponent can't control so much in the panic of choosing the right path! The Biang Beach is there. The rainy season is notoriously difficult to travel.”

"Southeast, the whole army is chasing!" Reske raised his hand high, and the Gangfei cavalry behind him swarmed out as if they had smelled the blood of wolves. The sound of horse hooves is like the beating of war drums,

On the Biang beach and the Biang River, there was a heavy rain. "General, the main force of the Falcon Army is crossing the Biang River!" The news brought by the scouts made the Gangfei cavalry who were pursuing them begin to gather, "The whole army assembles!"

Reske pulled hard on the running horse under his crotch. Raising his right hand high, the cavalry behind him stopped neatly and uniformly at the edge in accordance with the order. The horses' hooves trampled heavily on the ground, splashing up a large area of ​​frost-like mist, because at the same time they crowded in front of the white line formed on the edge. Wan's horse's hoofs were raised and lowered uneasily back and forth, and at the same time they brought up water on the ground, turning the ground under their feet into a muddy mess. The horses' long neighs came and went.

Through the rain curtain in the distance, Resker saw about ten thousand Falcon Army troops crowded at the bridge of the Biang River. Large white raindrops fell from the sky, violently hitting the bridge with a width of more than 20 meters. White dots appeared on the surface of the Biang River. From a distance, the river surface was completely blurred in white. "Kill! Kill them all!" Lesk pulled out his sword and pointed forward,

The Falcon Army's formation was in chaos, and they seemed unaware of the danger coming from behind, which was a thick, dense black line. Gradually appeared in the distance, the cold light of the weapons shone in the rain with a frightening light. The dense cavalry was like a large black cloud, riding on the white rainstorm.

Tens of thousands of Gangfei cavalry flattened their bayonet guns with murderous intent. The sharp metal spear heads split the raindrops that fell on them. It was cold and biting. The killing intent was mixed with the smell of pine wood and moss, mixed with a trace of rainwater. The chill was floating in the wind, and the eyes of all the cavalrymen who saw the Minato Tower were red, and all they could think of was blood for blood, tooth for tooth! "Attention, enemy attack"

The Falcon Army that was crossing the river finally felt something, and it suddenly became chaotic. The infantry gathered together in panic, like wild beasts that were suddenly forced into a desperate situation. "Kill!" The non-guard cavalry came like a tide, The heavy rain covered everything Tens of thousands of horses' hooves fell heavily on the tide, and then lifted up, bringing up the water on the ground. White raindrops fell like brushes. The cold and biting rain hit the metal armor, and with arrogant momentum, it came from the opposite side. Running out in the rain and fog

"Creak"

The tense sound of a series of bow strings being pulled down to the top was so subtle that it almost blended in with the raindrops, like a thin string. It made the 20,000 Falcon crossbowmen in the woodland beside the river hold their breath. At this moment, it seemed that even The wind and rain in front of me stopped for a moment, and the scenery reflected in the cold light Countless arrows, the cold air is overwhelming, and murderous intent permeates the air. In the distance, the huge sharp edges of the non-cavalry rush into the river beach like a frenzy. Under the horses' hooves are white whirlpools flying one after another, as if they suddenly explode on the beach. The earth trembled under the heavy hooves wrapped in metal armor,

Reposti slowly raised his hand. The opponent's cavalry was entering the shooting range, and his right hand suddenly fell down, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The air trembled violently for a moment, and countless luminous white threads came from the rain curtain toward the river beach. The mid-section burst, at the same time, was mixed with the sound of raindrops falling from the sky, like a nebula suddenly emerging from the ground. The dazzling metallic flash went straight up to the sky, and then drew a line of white light welding down from the height. ,

"Bah, bang, bang!" The Gangfei cavalry suddenly fell on their backs, as if they had hit an invisible wall. One after another arced from their sides, hitting the flanks of the cavalry's charge like a storm.

The Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows specially made by the Falcon Army penetrated the chainmail armor of the non-guard cavalry without any hindrance, and penetrated deeply into their bodies. The flesh and blood of the cavalry were like a sword on the high-speed galloping horses. The blood mist exploded,

The cavalry above was thrown from the top by the arrow-hit war horse, and his heavy body was smashed into the muddy water on the ground. He staggered and tried to stand up, but was knocked out by the war horse that lost its balance. "There is an ambush!"

Reske's face changed drastically. The Falcon Army's attack came from the flanks of the river beach. It was so dense, what else could it be besides the main force of the Falcon Army!

At the bridge entrance, which was still a mess just now, there were already spears protruding from the gaps in the queue formed by shields. Against the background of the rain, it is like a piece of cold light surging in front and spreading out, forming a concave inclined surface.

The simple and clear lines reveal a razor-like coldness, as if the entire beach is cut open from the side (to be continued...)
