Realm of Power

The imperial cavalry had already raised their infantry crossbows, but upon hearing Salon's words, the imperial cavalry put down their infantry crossbows one after another.

Lord Salon is right. The other party is a warrior worthy of respect. When it comes to cavalry and hedging, how can we still be afraid of the thousands of people on our side? "Collect the crossbows, move forward, crush them!" the cavalry captain shouted one after another. , Soldiers all have bloody arrogance, and they are even more arrogant when facing respectable enemies.

This cavalry in the southwest region was prepared by Salon after he learned the lessons of the tragic defeat in the mountains of eastern Gaul. He moved from an infantry field group to a cavalry field group and used all the equipment. The soldiers were all battle-tested veterans selected from the army. , young elite, experienced officers, even if the Southwest District has an empire It is second to none in terms of wealth, with countless goods from the north and south, and developed material circulation. Salon's former Northern Army is also one of the elites of the empire. However, with the power of one region and one legion, it is necessary to equip such 30,000 cavalry in just two months. It was not easy either. It almost wiped out all the old foundation that Salon had accumulated over the years.

At this moment, they really entered the state, and the fighting spirit suddenly sprouted. The cavalry's eyes were solemn, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. They neatly rode their horses and fiercely rushed straight to the front of the Ruila Army cavalry. The horses were all selected excellent heavy war horses, one-piece upper and lower. The standard vest is entirely made of high-quality Forged from high-quality iron, he was walking slowly behind Ruila's defeated army before and could not feel anything. Now he started to accelerate. The ground trembled under the heavy hooves of the war horse. The cold light of the armor was frightening. The cavalry above raised their spirits. Mount the horse and draw the gun sideways, with the tip of the gun facing forward neatly.

Tens of thousands of cavalry charged into the formation, approaching like a thick arc of cold light hundreds of meters long. After the bloody battle ahead, it was like a dull knife rubbing its edge open

The captain of the Rilla Guards Cavalry shouted with a look of loneliness and anger. The thousand-man team seemed so small among the thousands of cavalry. The main force of Rilla has collapsed. I don’t know how many elite teams of Rella people collapsed under the advance of the imperial cavalry. The soldiers turned around and ran away when they saw the cavalry flag.

But these Ruila Jingqi are still moving forward firmly! They were the last courage of the Ruila people. The sharp spears attacking from the opposite side were overwhelming, and the murderous shouts tore through the sky.

"Forward! Forward!"

The flying hooves of the war horse stomped hard on the ground, and the captain of the Ruila army's guard rode hard. The whole line faced the imperial cavalry galloping from the opposite side,

Just a few seconds later, bang bang, the two armies collided crazily. The cavalrymen from both sides collided and tumbled from their horses to the ground. The morning sun was thick and the fog was thick. The sound of the cavalrymen's armors shattering like thunder was like a series of firecrackers. The cavalrymen's spears were arranged in an unstoppable manner. The momentum penetrated the opponent's body fiercely, and the front end broke through the cavalry armor. One team rushed forward, the second team pressed in, and the third team pressed in. . . , the cavalry colliding together are like dry wheat stalks. It was squeezed and broken from the middle, and the sound of the armor shattering was mixed with the impact of metal and flesh.

This scene. Ruila's defeated army, which was running wildly behind and did not dare to turn around to take a look, finally stopped some people. What they saw when they turned around was that Ruila's elite cavalry, who were desperately trying to stop them, roared towards them so that they could escape. In front of a group of imperial cavalry, they were as thin as a wooden plank squeezed open by a heavy hammer. Fractured under powerful multi-layered attacks, beneath the torrent of Imperial armor. These Rila Guards cavalry could only maintain the densest possible battle array, using their horse weapons to resist the attacks of the surging black tide on the opposite side. With every impact, the array becomes thinner.

In front of the array, the corpses of dead cavalry followed the charging horses forward. The Rilla Guards Cavalry did not hesitate to push down the protective wall made of stacked corpses of their own people, breaking their guns and swords, and leaving their bodies covered with scars. Tens of thousands of imperial cavalry completely surrounded them and fought them, slashing them with weapons at close range, raising the most heavily protected side of their shields to face the opponent. Behind the heavy impact of the shields, both sides were completely red-eyed, and their horses were trampled with hooves, almost There is no possibility of surviving after being knocked off the horse. The spear of the Rilla Guards Captain has long been broken. Now he is wielding a cavalry heavy sword in his hand and slashing desperately at the surroundings. The array of thousands of Guards Cavalry has now been reduced. Most of it,

"Stupid, without the cavalry cover, the Rila people really have no hope of going back! Instead of dying in vain here, it is better to die in a more useful place!" The fat man stopped his horse and looked at the Rila people with burning eyes. The final battle of the elite cavalry, looking at each Rilla cavalry Being stabbed off their horses by countless Imperial lances, the blood-covered Imperial Guards Cavalry looked as calm as a black line passing by the side of the battle line. The horses' hooves rumbled straight forward, and the Guards Cavalry's helmets were as red as tassels. The flames are rising, what we want now is to catch the big fish, General Rilla! The battle here, even the Guards cavalry equipped with semi-heavy cavalry, just took one look at it and found it boring.

These southwest cavalrymen are so lousy. Ten thousand people beat one thousand against each other, and they did it so brutally. At first glance, they look like rookies who have not experienced several large-scale cavalry battles. If they were placed in charge of our Guards cavalry, In front of the formation, in one turn, these Ruila people will become Minced meat that no one can recognize. Most of the imperial guards cavalry come from the elite sequence of the Central Army who followed the Fat Man in the north and south. They defeated two elites on the grassland and were trampled to death in the cold. When it comes to cavalry combat The ability is completely better than the elite of the Southwest District, which was only formed for two months.

Although the Falcon Empire started with infantry warfare, since the empire took advantage of the northern grassland war horses, the empire's main battle force has been intentionally or unintentionally switching from infantry to cavalry. This is true for the five major armies of the empire. As long as the conditions are met Allowed, most legion commanders will do their best to equip elite cavalry to replace them. Replacing infantry, this is not the result of Fatty's special intention. In this era of cold weapons, any country that strongly expands its military force to the outside world, as long as conditions permit, the development of cavalry as the main combat arm is an inevitable result. In the era of cold weapons, it is inevitable that cavalry can truly fight against cavalry. The group is still a group of cavalry,

Even if the fat man himself marches on the city to destroy the country in Opalo, driving away enemies like pigs and dogs, he likes to use cavalry the most. Once the battle situation is hindered, he will release the prairie cavalry, the prairie wolf, to bite people. He has the rogue nature of opening the door and letting the dogs out. What goes up brings results, not to mention that the Falcon Empire has developed to this point and has sufficient armaments and supplies. The Imperial Guards, Central Army, and other legions have begun to transform into cavalry as the main battle. The armies pulled out, not counting the two grassland cavalry, could number one hundred thousand. If the two courts are included, the total number of field cavalry that can be put into the battlefield can reach 200,000. This time dragging out such a large-scale imperial cavalry field group to sweep across the Central and European Barrow coalition forces, the empire also has the intention of intimidating the Central and European Barrow countries.

In the distance, a group of Ruila cavalry was quietly coming out from the gate behind the barrier of the Ruila camp. They were all lightly armed and elite cavalry, numbering about two hundred people. One of the generals raised his head and took one last look at the slope where the battle was still fierce, and raised his riding crop. He slapped the war horse hard, causing the horse to feel the pain and run forward as fast as flying.

Once let go run. Marquis Fite was decisive enough. The army collapsed, and the imperial army swarmed in. After the cavalry swept away the camp, they must be pressed by the imperial infantry group, which was said to be invincible. With the current morale of the Ruela Army being low to the freezing point, the defense of the weak camp was , the possibility of being destroyed in minutes is 100%, not to mention the lost fifth army camp. There are also hundreds of thunder gods that can blast the entire Rila camp into the sky with direct fire just by turning their guns. The camp is not enough to defend and the soldiers are not enough to fight. The guard himself was unwilling to follow him until he died. He led the army through the vast wilderness, and could not escape the ensuing attack by the imperial cavalry.

The only way is to abandon the camp and only lead the elite light cavalry to take advantage of the opportunity before the emperor encircles the camp. Running back all the way with several days of rations,

"Let's go!"

Marquis Fit turned around. Without another glance, he left a general in the camp and allowed him to surrender immediately after the Falcon Army encircled them. Although the Falcon Army was brutal, it did not kill prisoners. The remaining few thousand of the tens of thousands of troops were frightened. The army may still have a way to survive. The guards at the camp watched this small team of elite cavalry disappear into the distance and couldn't help but spit at their feet. Phew, what the hell! What kind of king, god, abandoned the army to escape for his own life, and sold tens of thousands of people to the Falcon Army completely! Pity those young people who fight to the death!

Marquis Feite escaped. The thousands of defeated troops in the camp who were defeated and terrified could not even think of resisting. The soldiers gathered their weapons and discarded them in the center of the camp in advance. Roll it up, hold back the tears in his eyes and throw it into the fire to be burned. Watching the battle flag with golden lines rolled into ashes in the fire, a veteran’s eyes All empty and confused, all waiting to be taken as prisoners, why are they struggling? The general ran away, the army collapsed, all the capable troops were killed, and the rest were just cowards whose courage was broken. There were more than 100,000 coalition troops just now The non-Northern region was completely defeated. Although there were several camps from other countries behind them, judging from the rising black smoke, it was estimated that most of them were almost unable to resist.

Fatty's cavalry guards had just approached the Rila people's camp. The Rila people opened the camp door themselves, and groups of unarmed soldiers came out neatly. The surrender was so simple that even Fatty was surprised. The contrast was too great. ! "Rilla, there are no cowards!" The last Rilla Guards Cavalry shouted and was drowned by the blackness. The last voice of those Rilla Guards Cavalry who fought bloody battles on the slopes was full of tragedy. The fat man took a deep breath and looked at After sweeping across the 20-mile coalition camp with black smoke billowing everywhere, corpses everywhere and blood staining the ground, the snow finally became lighter, covering too many corpses and broken pieces. Looking down at this land of killing, the initiative in the battle in northern Congo quietly changed hands amidst the heavy snow!

In the capital of Gangfei Kingdom, in the past few days, the little emperor Gangfei finally had a comfortable smile on his lips.

In his small room, a map of northern Congo hanging on the wall was filled with various symbols. Battle reports came in frequently. The coalition forces easily penetrated more than 400 miles north of Congo and killed several Falcon Emperors. He took off his armor and did not dare to challenge (the hysteria of a child). He stabbed the Falcon Empire, a paper tiger, to both sides. The little emperor was even happier these days than when Marcos tried his best to frame Falcon after he was assassinated. The joy of empire,

For this last veteran minister, the little emperor's heart was actually very complicated.

Marcos was finally loyal to the little emperor and was responsible for the country, but the little emperor was too dissatisfied with Marcos's willfulness. Many military matters were decided by Marcos.

The little emperor watched as his elite warriors were defeated one by one. The Falcon Emperor became stronger and stronger, fighting all the way from Pu Tao to the border. In the end, it was only dozens of miles away from Xinjing. You're welcome. It is said that the Falcon Empire's horse hooves have stepped on the gate of temporary Kyoto, and they only need to take one more step forward. It was another embarrassing move to Beijing, twice a year, and the national affairs of the Gangfei Empire were completely messed up. The little emperor couldn't even imagine the third time. Fortunately, the Falcon Army was not so bad that they marched to Xinjing. The coalition forces also sent heavy troops to Conflict, and the situation was finally stabilized.

Eat well and drink well. Good teeth! The little emperor suddenly felt that his waist straightened and he became bolder. He was energetic when he spoke, and Gang Feijun also seized the opportunity to hit a counterattack routine, which was really satisfying! Linen dish!

But within a few days, the situation suddenly changed. The elite troops who counterattacked Pu Tao lost even the shadow of Lisbonto and were forced to retreat. The tens of thousands of troops were defeated by a group of refugees who did not know whether they were soldiers or pirates. The hundreds of thousands of coalition troops were supported by countless resources and property of the empire. , the coalition forces that made the little emperor feel like he was a powerful weapon, just attacked a small Baluta fortress, and his teeth were shattered, his head was bruised and bleeding, and he was miserable and miserable. The surrender of nearly 100,000 troops in the southern Great Lakes region completely disillusioned the little emperor with the coalition forces.

Then Gangfei wanted to use the northern region as bait. He came to provoke a fight between the Istan people and the Falcon Empire. Who knew that instead of fighting, these two bandit countries actually discussed it after some discussion. The two robbers immediately divided up Gangfei. The little emperor, who had begun to have his own ideas, deeply felt that he was the target of ridicule, and Marcos was the powerful minister who led the empire to the end. He must bear at least 80% of the responsibility for Gangfei's current dilapidated situation, and what's even more abominable is that. There are only six provinces left in Gangfei, and there is a danger of being annexed by the Falcon Empire at any time.

The coalition forces headed by the Rila people sent people to discuss privately. If Congo agreed to support the coalition camp and the coalition conquered northern Congo in one fell swoop, one-third of them would be willing to return to Congo. Although not all, but for the extremely eager For Gangfei, who was able to regain the lost territory, this was a major victory. For a veteran like Marcos, who had been through many storms, he naturally would not believe the coalition's plan and directly refused. It was better to reorganize the army and strengthen himself than to seek skin from a tiger. , Marcos is old, but has rich experience. He is not so easy to fool. As long as he can bear it, has the opportunity and strength, he may not have no chance to rise again. But the little emperor is different. Children are always easy to fool. Yes, ear root Zi Ruan, the coalition bribed the little emperor's attendants, and contacted the little emperor privately. Without much consideration, the little emperor sold his important minister Marcos in "pain". Marcos even died without knowing that he was being kidnapped. The little emperor sold it

As soon as Marcos died, the little emperor immediately let go and took over Marcos's post. The person who served as Minister of Military Affairs of Congo and Africa was Fabregas. The soldiers who came from the Southern Army of Congo and Africa, who were suppressed by Marcos, finally showed their talents at this moment. When Marcos was assassinated, the northern faction of Marcos was cleaned up.

Marcos had been in charge of the Ministry of Imperial Affairs for so long, and the northern generals were superior to the southern army. To say that they had little to do with him, that is, the southern army factions such as Fabregas, although they failed to command the counterattack against Putao, However, the entire combat plan is still quite remarkable, and the coalition forces also I would like to see the Southern Army faction of Congo and Africa represented by Fabgares take charge of military affairs. Most of the tens of thousands of standing troops still retained in Congo and Africa are Southern Army. A pro-Union General of the Southern Army is in line with the requirements of the Coalition. The target, Cesc Fabregas, the leader of the Southern Army, is naturally the first choice of the coalition forces.

The coalition forces marched smoothly in northern Congo and Africa. Countless emergency reports about the coalition forces reached Congo and Africa in a short period of time. As the Minister of Military Affairs, Fabgares was not in the habit of working in the office. The coalition observation group was still in Congo. Fei, Varisien advanced and cut off the connection between Gangfei and the coalition forces in one fell swoop. The observation group did not go back.

Although they came as a cover at the beginning, they were all wealthy figures in the coalition, including many dukes and marquises. Naturally, the Kingdom of Gangfei did not dare to neglect them. After knowing that the Kingdom of Gangfei had relied on the alliance's thigh, the country of Gangfei The nobles began to try their best to curry favor with the observation group.

As the number one person in the Congo-Africa military, Military Affairs Minister Cesc Fabregas naturally has to avoid socializing if he wants to get support from the coalition in terms of weapons and equipment.

Just the good news they receive every day makes the men of the coalition observation group even more arrogant. Did you see that our coalition has regained another province in the front! The observation team’s fingers almost touched Foreign Affairs Officer Gang Fei’s forehead.

As the coalition forces advanced further, the attitude of the observation group became tougher, and the number of ordnance promised in the original agreement to equip the Congolese African Army was reduced. This annoyed Fabgares, who was eager to show the expansion of the Congolese African Army.

Fabgares was born as a hunter and had no etiquette training. He was very accustomed to being in the military. Don't look at the thumping sound of a pair of hunter leather boots when he walked, as if he was wearing a suit of armor. He was very aggressive. In fact, once he got to the negotiating table Go on, it’s simply miserable! miserable! miserable!

Bargaining and wrangling in negotiations was simply more difficult than killing him. Naturally, he was the inferior product that the nobles of the coalition observation group regarded as the best to lower the price.

The observation group is not in a hurry anyway. There is food and drink here. If they are happy, they can tease the two-meter-tall, gorilla-like Gangfei Minister of Military Affairs. If they are unhappy, they can close the door of the observation group's residence and talk about ideals, life, and the future with the fair-skinned Gangfei ladies. Although Gangfei has declined and only has six provinces, it can still support an observation group. What a sour life! (To be continued)
