Realm of Power

The beacon smoke went straight up, and at the Rila Army camp located in the middle of the coalition camp, the attack and killing by both sides was in full swing.

A large number of defeated troops destroyed the three rear camps of the Ruila Army, which were like triangles hanging upside down. This camp was mainly occupied by the fifth army of the Ruila Army. In terms of combat power, it was also one of the best in the coalition, with a full strength of 35,000. Thousands of people were killed in the border battle, and more than ten thousand were lost in the border battle. There are only about 25,000 troops, including 5,000 archers and thousands of Ruila war bows. If they fire at full strength and continuously, no matter how large the army is, without defensive weapons or heavy armor and shields, the army will be defeated. , there is no way to attack the camp, but it is night after all,

Seeing the defeated army in front of them being driven toward the camp like crying for their fathers and mothers, the soldiers of the Fifth Army finally softened a little. Tens of thousands of coalition soldiers were driven like sheep under the hooves of the imperial cavalry. They were all miserable and hesitant, wearing single clothes. There are quite a few of them wearing half armor, half of their legs naked, and only wearing shorts. These people Being trapped and struggling in the turbulent current, some people were acquaintances they knew, shouting pleas such as "Don't kill me, don't shoot". The archers who were shooting arrows naturally became much softer, and the hand that pulled the bow string was unnatural. It has become weak. The bow should have been fully opened straight away, but now it is only opened more than halfway and then released. It is mostly perfunctory.

Once the camp lost its intimidating power, the defeated army became more crowded and moved forward. Even if they pushed the corpses filled with arrows, they thought of continuing to move forward. The Ruila Army was considered the elite of the coalition forces after all. As long as they could escape into the camp , how can they delay the murderous Falcon Empire cavalry behind them for a period of time. Everyone can escape then,

The Falcon Emperor behind them was too much of a deterrent to the coalition's collapse, not to mention the opponent's heavy crossbows were spread out in a row behind them. Those who hesitated a little and walked slower, a row of shots came, nailing the defeated army who was holding on to some luck to the ground. They were still alive for a while, and the miserable wailing sound was like a hot iron burning the eardrums of the defeated army behind them.

Come on, it's only a few dozen meters away, and I don't know who started running forward. The people behind them all crashed into the outer wooden rafts of the Ruila Army like a dike that had burst, and people piled on top of each other. The overwhelmed raft swayed and was finally pushed down with a crash. ,

The imperial cavalry followed the defeated coalition forces and rushed into the camp of Rilla's Fifth Army, and immediately started to kill them in formation. Assault cavalry equipped with lances were thrown violently at the troops of the Rila people who wanted to block the gap while running. The peripheral cavalry fired crossbows in rows towards the coalition camp to block the Rila army from rushing to the gap.

This assault opened the way for the defeated army. The assault cavalry tore open the gap, and then the cavalry forced them up in an infantry formation. The running groups of Ruila Army soldiers fell before they even got close to the gap, and the remaining soldiers also fell. I don’t know what happened, but everything suddenly went wrong. The commander of Rila’s fifth army, Marquis Bokakov, died in the battle.

The Fifth Army Corps, which had lost its command, had no choice but to choose not to fight in the face of the defeated army and the Falcon Cavalry's infantry formation. He is inherently weaker,

In fact, Rila's fifth army is not in a bad situation now. The commander has died, but the main force of the army still exists. If the morale is enough, they can immediately launch an all-out counterattack regardless of the collapse of the army. It is not impossible to kill the intruding Falcon Army cavalry. It is nothing more than using the same violence to kill the broken army back. Then they fought a fierce infantry and cavalry offensive and defensive battle with the small group of falcon cavalry that broke in. If you take more casualties, you can always advance forward. The defeated army that rushes into the camp will still be too scared to move forward as long as it is willing to cut down hard.

These defeated troops attacked the camp, but if they could be forced to turn, they would not be a human barrier that blocked the larger-scale intrusion of the Falcon Emperor. However, as soon as the battle began, the best commander of the Fifth Army, Bokakov, died unexpectedly. The army's morale has been lost, and not a single formation can decisively launch a counterattack and form a formation to cover the collapse of the defense system!

In the main camp of the Rila Army in the distance, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Marquis Fit, stood high on the sentry tower. At this moment, his eyes were wide open and his hands were tightly clasped together. The collapse of the Fifth Army was already very obvious, and the failure was very tragic. Tens of thousands of elites were scattered by the defeated army without even understanding the situation, and military supplies and equipment were discarded everywhere.

What annoys Marquis Fit the most is that there are still hundreds of thunder gods captured by the army in the camp of the Fifth Army. Now they are lost like this? Those are millions of gold coins. How can we not make Marquis Fitt anxious?

Like Marquis Fit, the eyes of the generals and soldiers of the Rila Army were red, and their teeth were clenching. The Fifth Army, known as the ace, actually collapsed under the pressure of the defeated army. This was beyond all expectations. people’s expectations, The imperial cavalry was slaughtering and chasing them without restraint. Under the hooves of the horses, tens of thousands of Ruila soldiers were mixed with the broken army and ran in all directions, crying and shouting. The ground was stained with blood, and the holy flag of Ruila hanging high was covered in black smoke. engulf.

The Ruila Army has the largest number of troops in the coalition. Although the Fifth Army has collapsed, there are still 50,000 to 60,000 field troops in the other two camps that can be pulled out. However, without orders from above, they can only watch helplessly. Seeing one's own people being massacred, being trampled by war horses, and countless supplies being thrown all over the ground, it would be a disastrous setback for the morale of the army! An army doesn't even go to rescue its own comrades, so as a general and soldier in this army, who is willing to continue fighting to the death?

"Sir, my subordinates are requesting an attack! We can't just sit back and watch the army collapse!" A Rilla general's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He knelt down on one knee behind Marquis Fit and shouted loudly, "If there is no movement, the first After the collapse of the fifth army camp, our main camp will completely lose its barrier! If those thunder gods fall into the hands of the Falcon Emperor again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"It's not good for us to attack now! The enemy's cavalry is on the front line. The number is unknown. There are also a large number of broken troops in front. They are so powerful that any troops that hit them at this moment will be scattered." Marquis Fit shook his head, and he also I was relatively calm and did not let the troops attack, but they also started to attack. Ordered, the elites of the Ruela Army of the brigade were assembled in the camp and on standby. Even if they could not leave the camp to fight in the field, they could not let the defeated army disperse the camp again. The entire heavy infantry team rushed to the wooden wall outside the camp, pointing their spears at each other, which frightened some of them. The disoriented troops who ran over turned around and ran away on the spot. Immediately, several people were shot by shooters from high places with war bows, and they were even more frightened to the point of peeing.

"Sir, the camp is safe! But the camp of the Fifth Army collapsed." The general paused and said with an ugly face. "Once the Falcon Emperor uses the thunder gods in these camps to set up forts, it will definitely affect the other two Ruila military camps." It is a fatal threat. The camp facilities are meager and it is difficult to deal with even the attack of the defeated army. How can we fight against the Imperial Thunder God? The bombardment! Although the Falcon Emperor's cavalry is fierce, after all, their energy has been worn out for several miles. Even the men are tired. This is the best time for our army to launch a full-scale counterattack. As long as this is defeated. The advance cavalry will definitely improve the current out-of-control situation, which is better than waiting for the enemy to calmly break down the camp one by one."

General Rilla's words caused a flash of hesitation in Marquis Fit's eyes.

This time, the main force of the Imperial Cavalry raided the coalition camp and advanced wildly, driving the coalition camp for more than ten miles. It was true to say that the momentum was like a rainbow, and it was true to say that the men and horses were tired. In fact, they crushed the camp of the Fifth Army. The imperial cavalry did not immediately launch an attack on the other two camps, but began to slow down, obviously due to lack of rear strength. Waiting for more sufficient troops and reorganization of horse power, he looked at another camp that was at the opposite angle to him, on top of a wooden watchtower. The chess players waved their flags desperately and asked for an attack from the main camp of the army. The whole army showed a rare desperate fight. The courage to go out into the field and fight against the enemy's cavalry even at the risk of death,

"Could it be that the balance of the war situation unexpectedly tilted towards our side after the collapse of the Fifth Legion camp?"

Marquis Fit's hand tightened on the reins of the war horse, his eyes showed a bit of joy, and he finally made up his mind. In any case, passively being beaten is not enough. With sufficient military strength and the support of the camp, we can withdraw in time even if something unexpected happens. But just sitting back and watching the entire fifth army be destroyed will be irreparably heavy on the morale of the army. blow,

"Command all the troops to attack and form formations!" Marquis Fit made up his mind, and even felt a little excited. He loudly issued the order, and cheers suddenly came from all around. The people of Ruila had a strong heroic complex, and most of the coalition forces collapsed, except Ruila. Lajun proudly surrendered, and once the battle was turned into a collapse situation, it was really in line with the view of heroes believed by the people of Lala. , after receiving the order to attack, everyone from the officers to the soldiers agitated. The war trumpet in the direction of the Ruila Army camp sounded through the sky. The trumpeters filled up their cheeks. The trombones swept across the sky like sharp swords. The battle flags were lowered in the wind. The light cavalry The first one fired, then came the shield and sword heavy infantry, archers, and heavy armored warriors. The layers of armor made a clanging sound.

The Ruila people are recognized as an arrogant nation throughout Central Europe, but they also have the capital of arrogance. Every Ruila person has been instilled with the idea of ​​​​descendants of heroes since childhood. Martial arts prevailed throughout the country. After the defeated army passed the camp of the Fifth Army, they They immediately scattered, wishing everyone had eight legs, and saw countless archers lined up in rows with livid faces beside the trenches of the other two Ruila military camps. Standing still, the heavy infantryman of the Rila Army at the front holding heavy weapons, wearing double-layer heavy armor, looked at him through the metal visor as if he were looking at an enemy, knowing that if he was driven to attack Rila again The Rila people will no longer hold back the human camp. The Rila people even set up heavy catapults in the camp. A burst of stone projectiles will be fired at them. No matter how many people there are, they will be turned into dregs.

At this time, the sky was completely bright. The battle had lasted for three hours since the main force of the Empire's assault cavalry launched a surprise attack. The assault cavalry defeated them continuously and killed tens of thousands of enemies. Although the vigor has not diminished slightly. Looking down from Fatty, one can clearly see that the attack momentum of the assault cavalry has still stalled against the coalition's camp system that stretches for more than ten miles. The sudden advance of a small team of 500 people has formed a two-wing containment situation, concentrating the elite The main force rushed straight in along the middle, wedged deeply into the middle of the camp's defense system, as if it were a huge black arrow, pointing straight at the main camp where the Ruila Army was located.

"Your Majesty, the Rila people are out!" An imperial cavalry galloped from the front and reined in the horse fiercely in front of the fat man.

"How many people did the Ruila people send out?" A hint of joy flashed across the fat man's face and he asked with emotion.

"The two main camps have a visual estimate of 40,000 to 50,000 people. Lord Salon specifically asked for instructions whether our army should continue to stalemate or withdraw to lure the enemy!" The imperial cavalry raised its head and shouted back. Countless eyes immediately focused on Fatty. On the generous figure. More than a dozen Guards generals, wearing heavy armor, waited with bated breath for every order from the fat man.

"Your Majesty, let us go!" The generals of the Guards looked eager, and the assault cavalry in front was fighting rapidly. The advance line composed of the Guards Cavalry and the Heavy Cavalry at the back has always been in a state of half combat and half cultivation. The assault cavalry in the front is like a comb after combing through the coalition camp. The remaining ones who are still holding on are the real elites in the coalition, but even the elites, without the support of the large army and the support of each unit, the fate of these small groups of elites can be imagined. Facing these enemies, Thousands of imperial heavy cavalry often rush directly towards the spear array in front of them without scruples. The heavy gun in his hand directly knocked people away.

The double-layered heavy armor on his body was wiped out with a stream of flames by the intensive stabbing spears. The heavy cavalry on top was still grinning, raising the hammer in his hand nonchalantly. With one hammer blow, he smashed the brains of the stunned enemy and exploded countless pieces of flesh and blood from the inside of the helmet. After breaking the formation several times in a row, the elite resistance among the coalition forces had already collapsed.

Seeing the assault cavalry in front of them fighting vigorously, the guards cavalry behind were also full of envy. They were the first cavalry in the empire. How could they be stolen by these assault cavalry in the southwest region?

The fat man turned back and looked at the generals coldly, and said, "The Ruila people are finally willing to give up their camp to fight with our army in the field. Why, you are so eager to rush forward and scare them back? Our army is cavalry, and fighting in the field is not good for me." It's advantageous, but the opponent has his back to the camp. If the situation is bad, he will retreat. It will be difficult to lure them out! Tell the front, pull the Ruila people out first! "The fat man waved to the imperial cavalry who reported the news. He said categorically, "The Ruila Army has the largest number of troops in the coalition and is also the most elite unit of the coalition. However, it is mainly infantry. With its backing to a strong camp, it can fight against any enemy. And its morale is high. We can only pull him out to a certain distance. We Use all your strength to attack directly, and then you can break it with one blow." The fat man waved his hands fiercely and said, "The guards are all wearing heavy armor and holding heavy formation-breaking guns, and they are closing in on me!"

"All the generals were shocked with murderous intent. Tens of thousands of troops rushed for dozens of miles, overran the camp and killed the generals, just for this moment!"

The Ruila army rushed out of the two main camps. Countless iron armors suddenly piled up with cold light on the battlefield. The morning light reflected the majestic figures on the bright armors of these heroic descendants. In the fallen fifth army camp opposite, the imperial cavalry Looking at the Ruila people's military formation, the horses began to stop one after another, and the black cavalry began to gather.

"What orders does your Majesty have?"

Salon's muddy one eye was now so bright that it was scary. The cavalrymen who served as assault cavalry this time were the cavalry of the Southwest Army led by Salon himself. They all had a strong foundation from the original Salon's Northern Army. In addition, Salon's own courageous encouragement to the soldiers led to Facing the shame of defeat in the mountains of eastern Gaul, the combat effectiveness of the entire army actually exceeded the first-line level. Due to lack of horse power, many assault cavalry had already The cavalry were converted into infantry, and they charged with cavalry shields in their hands. Arrows flew across the sky, and the shouts of killing were like thunder. They risked their lives and kept attacking the camp in front of them. The coalition army had a large camp for twenty miles. The fierce fighting until now has shaken the whole camp. Half-collapsed, the Ruila army's diaphragm should be in the middle, like a solid barrier. Rarely, some camps in further areas that have not yet been affected by the camp are surprisingly peaceful.

"Sir, Your Majesty ordered the Ruila people to be lured out!" The cavalry who went to contact them came back with the order,

"Lead them out? Got it!" Salon waved his hand. The Rila people backed the camp. Although the army moved out, the military formation was still undisturbed, showing extraordinary qualities. Under the fluttering flags, there was an orderly queue. Rayla's heavy infantry, according to Salon's evaluation, these heavy infantry are already at a considerable level, with stable formations, shield walls like snow, and no Several spears aimed at the cavalry charge were lined up in a row. The heavy armored soldiers wearing double-layered heavy armor were the most conspicuous. Most of them were tall and strong men. They were covered in heavy armor. There was only a cross on the front of the helmet for sight. , the weapon in hand is a special long-handled spiked flail, with countless spiked iron balls connected with buckles. Even if it is against heavy cavalry, it is still capable of fighting.

"All armies are fighting and withdrawing without delay! Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed." Salon raised his hand and shouted an order to the surrounding cavalry.

Marquis Fit was looking at the black army of imperial assault cavalry opposite him. After a fierce battle for half the night, he finally got a clear view of the situation on the opposite side. The number of the opponents was definitely more than 20,000. It is no wonder that he smashed such a huge camp in one breath. , driving tens of thousands of defeated troops like dogs and sheep, a heavy general in front of the opponent's army, almost completely wearing black heavy armor, with silver-white spiral patterns on the shoulder armor, and a red cavalry cape dragged from the shoulders to the horse's buttocks, attracting attention on the left Eyes covered with black goggles,

This man turned out to be a one-eyed general! Marquis Fit's face became even more gloomy. The Falcon Emperor* general was a brilliant man who founded the country with an army. Among the famous generals, there was only one person who could match such an appearance. One-eyed Salon, the Governor of the Southwest Region of the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Emperor. A trusted general with a hundred thousand legions under his command, this person actually served as the commander of the raid, so the Falcon Emperor must be not far away, so it is no wonder that such a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the north of Gangfei, and the main force of the emperor in the southwest region went south as expected. Got it! Inserting it at this time is indeed an excellent opportunity.

But so what? Isn't the main force of the empire blocked by our rila elite? After letting go of all worries, Marquis Feite felt a strong sense of fighting in his heart. He slowly raised his hand and shouted "Attack!" (To be continued)
