Realm of Power

At the ferry in the middle of the Aras River in the Kingdom of Rila, the water on the river was rolling, mixed with turbid yellow currents rolling down, and the rapids hit the wooden piles that were stuck in the river water. This was a new bridge that had not yet been completed. On the other side of the bridge, near the ferry, large and small carriages filled with supplies were laid out for more than ten miles.

This river is the Aras River, the largest river in the Kingdom of Rila. The river surface is about twenty meters wide in normal months. However, during the snowmelt season in spring, the melted water from the snowy mountains in the distance continues to flow in, causing the water level of the river to surge. The width of the water surface reached more than 30 meters. There used to be an old stone bridge on the river, but it was finally broken from the middle under the pressure of the flood a few days ago, causing the entire transportation line to be completely paralyzed! At this time, in a hut next to the ferry, a middle-aged general wearing the uniform of the Rila Army was looking at the rapids of the river, his eyebrows almost formed into ravines, and he didn't know whether to smile or cry on his face.

This middle-aged general is Baron Sigg, the general person in charge of Rila's logistics. He is here personally to urge the bridge workers to speed up the repair of the bridge so that the materials blocked here can continue to move westward. Supplies, on the other hand, there are too many supplies. Ruila's weak logistics and transportation capabilities cannot keep up with the marching speed of the main army. In addition, the river rises in spring, making the work of repairing the stone bridge even more difficult.

"Sir," the adjutant next to him said with an ugly face, "These are the logistics materials that the coalition forces hoarded near the border in order to cope with the battle in northern Congo. The large amount is to mobilize all the logistics transportation capabilities of Ruila. It also took a full month, and now all of a sudden they have to be shipped out. It’s like our Ruila logistics line. Not to mention, less than half of the stone bridge was repaired in four days. Even if the weather clears up and the weather is good in the next few days, it will still take eight to nine days to completely repair the washed-out stone bridge. Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Military Affairs requires us to deliver so much logistics supplies to the Western Front within fifteen days, which is simply an impossible task! "

"Do your best! Although the Hungarians have stopped moving forward, everyone can see that once they start, it will definitely be a life and death battle. The frontline soldiers may fight at any time. In this situation, we, as the army's logistics, can still What's there to complain about?" Baron Sige snorted, looking away from the river, and sighed. "The kingdom's main force will naturally go westward, but the domestic infrastructure is poor," he said. The road conditions are not good, and there are not enough commercial carriages. It is not easy to transport them all at once. Some carriages have to be deployed to follow the main force. With the transportation capacity being tight, it will be thankful to be able to transport these materials to the crossing within ten days. Not to mention that there are more supplies to be squeezed in the back. It is conservatively estimated that it will be very good to transport them all within a month. At present, we can only repair the bridge and transport some of it for emergency purposes first. "

"Hey. I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Why would they invite the Hungarians? It's really inviting a wolf into the house!" The adjutant curled up the corner of his mouth in disdain. He was in Ruila. Especially the Rila soldiers were very disgusted with having to fight with the Hungarians.

"What do you know? The main force of the coalition forces has been severely damaged, and the main force of the Falcon Empire's cavalry is suppressing the situation. If there is no cavalry capable of fighting, the coalition forces will not be able to escape the fate of being swept away!" Baron Sige said with deep eyes, "Although His Majesty knows that the Hungarians will Drawing into the coalition camp is just poison and has great consequences. There were hidden dangers, but under the circumstances, he couldn't control that much, so His Majesty let the Hungarians go their own way, even though he knew that the Hungarian King would die in vain with just a slight touch with the Falcon Empire! Opportunity to raise troops on a large scale. In just half a month, two principalities were destroyed, shocking the whole country. Among them, Hungary's main force in the east and west has not been released, which has made the entire Central Europe nervous. However, for us, Ruila, the current situation is relatively optimistic, because the Hungarians and Switzerland are There is also a kingdom of Wuduya between the Kingdom of La and Wuduya. Ya is a mountainous country, and it is an area where it is difficult for the Hungarian cavalry to deploy. It is like a natural barrier for Rila. King Uduya asked for help from his majesty, and the kingdom sent about 50,000 troops to build the western front of the coalition in the Uduya Mountains. Only then did orders were issued to move a large amount of supplies to the Western Front.”

"Although the Hungarians are so arrogant, don't forget that we are the Rila people, the Rila people, the descendants of heroes." Baron Sige paused in his voice, with a blush on his face, and said proudly, "A hundred years ago, In the same situation, all countries are timid. Only our ancestors fought to the end for the Central European Barro and achieved the name of Hero Rila. At such times, We have not caught up in this era, but it is not bad if we can catch up with this era. Hungary is advancing westward, and the countries are undecided. People are panicking and it is difficult to judge. And I, Ruila, was the first to express my sincerity to join forces to resist. As long as we can all The two countries will join forces and defeat the Hungarians with one blow a hundred years ago. By then, I, Ruila, will be the main force in the field and will be famous for another hundred years!"

"Hey, that's what I said, but what to do with so much supplies?" The adjutant was a little excited when he heard it, but his eyes swept across the carriages that were blocking the road, and he immediately had a bitter look on his face. The Rila people, who are descendants of heroes, are not afraid of the Hungarians. Ya people, but tens of thousands of troops are about to enter the complex terrain of Wu Du In the Yashan region, logistical supplies are far behind. You can't fight the Huns on an empty stomach. The Wang ** regiment on the front line rescuing Wu Duya has limited military rations. It can only last for ten to fifteen days. , the real war supplies still have to be transported by civilians in the rear.

Tens of thousands of armors, millions of arrows. Shields, as well as a large number of materials used to lay out the defense line, are still blocked on the river. Only when these materials arrive can the Ruila Army complete its defensive preparations and the defense line is consolidated. Only then was it possible to fight in the mountains and fight with the Hungarian cavalry. Generally speaking, there are sufficient supplies and a solid defensive line as a basis to advance and retreat in a well-founded manner. Wearing heavy armor and being able to use horse-defying spears under their feet, the Rila army is not afraid of cavalry. This is true in the battle in northern Congo. The Rila army used infantry to resist the empire's cavalry charge for more than an hour. It can be seen that

What can't be helped is that Barrow in Central Europe is short of horses. Since the Gangfei Empire completely monopolized the road to the north, Barrow in Central Europe has lost a stable way to obtain war horses. The field infantry group developed under this situation is behind every field battle. It requires a large number of civilians and material support, but Baron Sige, who is supervising the transportation of materials from behind, bursts into tears when he mentions this. The war is getting more and more tense, and everyone is busy trying to gain benefits. Who cares how much pressure there is on the logistics department? Without bonuses, those who build bridges will work even harder. Construction was extremely slow. They were mixed together at every turn, and it seemed that at any time one could see people, cars, and horses being squeezed into the water on the pontoon. The anxious Baron Scott jumped to his feet. He went back and forth on the river dozens of times in a small boat every day, shouting to no avail. In addition, more and more supplies came from behind. As a general, Baron Sigg could only do his best and let the army do his best. The hedgehogs gathered at the ferry, blocked it with water, and pulled out all the people below. At the ferry, he helped build bridges, transport supplies, and promote order.

In this way, on the fifth day, when the sky was getting brighter, I finally roughly picked up the stone slabs on the piers of the stone bridge. It looked a bit like it. The radiation heavy materials of the brigade could finally move forward slowly on the stone bridge in order. The craftsmen who repaired the bridge were sleeping soundly next to the heavy carriages and horses, while the soldiers who had been busy all night also got into their tents. Baron Sigg, who had been running at the ferry for several days, felt tired under his feet. It's like wearing cotton. He was so tired that he looked at the long motorcade moving like ants on the bridge and wondered if he should go back to his tent and take a nap to calm down.

"It's impossible to transport it to the Western Front in fifteen days. Let's strive for eighteen days!"

The sky in the distance started to turn gray. At this time, for some reason, Baron Sigg suddenly felt that the ground began to shake. At first I thought I was tired and dazzled. So I couldn't stand steady, so I looked down and saw the lights hanging from the carriage on the stone bridge shining on the water below. When I saw the pebbles and sand trembling slightly under my feet, I immediately shuddered. This was definitely not my imagination! He raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrank, and in the faintly discernible sky, groups of black figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

It was only then that the faint sound of horse hooves was heard. It was like a black line flying from a distance, like a hungry wolf coldly watching them in the dark after they had been busy at the ferry all night, and then at this time when the sky was about to get dark. There's a raid! It’s not just Sig, stretching north along the river bank. The Rilla sentries who were maintaining order at the ferry also noticed these cavalry suddenly appearing in front of them.

All the war horses have been raised to the highest level. These knights on horseback wear furry helmets. Some of them are obviously officers' helmets and have colorful feathers on the peaks. This is the symbol of the Hungarians. These cavalry who suddenly appeared are all extremely fast and silent cavalry. lying on the horse. With spears in their hands or long knives in their mouths, and bows on horseback behind them, they surged toward the ferry like a tidal wave! Layers are coming like a wall! Getting closer, the sound of horse hooves could finally be heard, roaring like thunder, and it was impossible to tell the difference. Just a rumbling sound. Covering the entire ferry, the ground shook. More people stood up at a loss. The Ruila sentry shouted shrilly, "Enemy attack! Hungarian cavalry!" At the ferry location, more shrill shouts followed. When the response sounded, the soldiers resting in the camp were alarmed and ran out of the tents in confusion. The sight in front of them immediately made them take a breath of air-conditioning. Because it was foggy in the morning, they couldn't see how many enemies there were. It could only be seen that these light cavalry completely covered the already slightly bright line in the sky into darkness.

These Ruila soldiers are just logistics soldiers. We have seen such a situation there, and even the officers were frightened. How could there be Ruila people here? Baron Sige was the first to react, and loudly ordered in his hoarse voice: "Immediately set up the formation according to the chariot. I will supervise the battle personally. The opponent is just a light cavalry. As long as they hold on for an hour, the opponent will no longer have the confidence to fight. It is said that My order is, if anyone takes a step back without authorization, the whole team will be killed!" The soldiers behind Baron Sige immediately shouted all the way. Baron Sige, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, strode to a high place on the left side of the ferry and asked the guard general to raise the flag to stabilize the morale of the army.

Seeing the erected Rila military flag, more and more soldiers were mobilized according to the order. These logistics soldiers were not good at fighting, but fortunately, the carriage was probably too crowded. They casually picked up weapons from the supply carriage, and a natural line was formed. The car formation caused even more impact from the surrounding areas. The Hungarian cavalry who came had the illusion that they had nowhere to go. To the left of the ferry was an open area with a vast plain. The Hungarian cavalry suddenly appeared as the sky gradually became brighter. The scale of the Hungarian cavalry was finally clearly visible to the Rila people. The number was not very large. , which is about two to three thousand people,

As for the ferry, there were 2,000 soldiers under Si Ge, who were blocked by a natural vehicle formation. Among them, the riflemen boldly shot a row of arrows at the Hungarian cavalry in the distance. The distinct layers are inserted diagonally into the ground. This is the maximum range of various long-range shots.

"Steady, don't mess up!" Officer Ruila, who was leading the team at all levels, looked at the black Hungarians in the distance and felt a handful of cold sweat in his hands. Where did such a large number of Hungarian cavalry appear from? , and the full-speed horsepower was raised from a distance. It seemed that he was not planning to turn around and go back. This was a desperate attack. No one glanced at their peers who were hit by arrows and fell into the dust, and no one rode a little slower. They just mentioned it again and again like crazy. Everyone in Ruila had a dark premonition. Are these Hungarian cavalry crazy? There is no money and no beauties here. Is it worth risking their lives like this? I heard a thumping sound with a metallic vibrating sound in the air. Countless arrow clusters rose in the direction of the galloping war horses, shooting towards this side.

"Attention, arrow attack!" Before the shrill shout could stop, soldiers were immediately hit by arrow clusters and fell over. Cold sweat fell from the foreheads of others, and the car formation was useless. I forgot that the Hungarians were facing them, who were famous for their horse archers. The Hungarians were famous for their superb shooting skills. The consequences of shooting against them could be imagined, with both men and horses rolling into a ball. Under the thousands of arrows fired by the Hungarian archers, the front row of the Ruila army was almost wiped out! If the car array hadn't blocked most of them, I'm afraid all the soldiers at the ferry would have died.

The Hungarian light cavalry raised their horses to the limit. The tall war horses seemed to be galloping with their hooves in the air. The cavalry should hide behind the horse's neck or huddle beside the saddle to minimize the area where arrows may be hit. The Ruila people were a little surprised. Those rushing in front were actually several Hungarian cavalry captains carrying red flags, and none of them had the slightest intention of turning back! This cavalry that suddenly appeared was the remnant Hungarian army that Yaosun led into Hungary. A team of more than 20,000 people, with 4,000 Hungarian horse archers as the forward line and more than 10,000 infantry as the backing. Rushed directly into the country of Rila. When Yao Sen was in the coalition army, he still vaguely remembered the original route, but he did not expect that he would accidentally run into such a large transport team here. Yao Sen made a prompt decision and tried his best to seize the ferry.

But when they reach the end of the road, they are the most terrifying warriors who abandon their superfluous ideas. This remnant Hungarian army lost the Hungarian King and slept in the open on the border. They suffered from hunger for a month and were treated like rabbits by the Falcon Empire cavalry. Running after each other, I no longer know what life and death are. Now there are only two words in my mind: go back, go back Go to Hungary and return to your own tribe, even if you end up being beheaded for the sin of the king's death. Under such circumstances, the remnant Hungarian army, full of grief and anger, is like a ferocious beast that is not afraid of any enemy. Several brave squadron leaders took the lead and faced the arrows from the ferry. Men and horses began to fall continuously. But after these Hungarians fired the first cluster of arrows, they still had no intention of slowing down, and just slammed into the group of carriages!

"Pa!" A Hungarian cavalry captain even forcibly drove his horse to knock the carriage sideways. He jumped down with a mace in his hand, roaring and waving the mace in his hand vigorously. His body, as well as the mount under his crotch, were all hung with arrow feathers and had been severely damaged. But still mustering up the last bit of strength to move forward. Two long-handled battle axes cut off the front hooves of his mount, and the spear came out and penetrated deeply into the body of the horse. The Hungarian captain fell suddenly. But behind him, more Hungarian cavalry came and slammed into the formation!

The faces of the Rila people on the ferry side showed a look of fear. No one thought that the Hungarians would be so crazy! At this time, the soldiers of Ruila reacted. The spearmen and shield swordsmen quickly jumped on the shaft of the chariot and stood in front of the archer. The archers were still shooting and retreating. The Hungarian cavalry couldn't care less at this time. They jumped from their horses to the carriages and started killing and hacking at the Rila soldiers below.

"Stop them, you must stop them! We must not let the supplies fall into the hands of the Hungarians." Baron Sige's face turned pale at this time, and he kept shouting. After all, he was a logistics officer, and the number of times he actually went to the battlefield was very few. , it’s okay to sit in command, but like now it has become a chaotic battle close at hand, There was blood everywhere, heads rolling around, and the Hungarian cavalry's mace almost hit him. That calmness had been thrown out of the sky a long time ago. If he hadn't known that once he escaped, all the supplies here would be lost. If he fell into the hands of the Hungarians, he would also die if they were to pursue him. He would have run away long ago.

"Sir, give the order to set fire to it. We can't stop it!" His guard captain ran over covered in blood. The Hungarians beat him so hard that after a few resistances, these logistics soldiers collapsed completely and ran around. , if the Hungarians catch up, they will be beaten to death with a stick.

In the direction where the Hungarians appeared just now, more Hungarian infantry were swarming in. This sight made Baron Sigg suddenly think twice and his tone changed. In this case, it is better to save your life and set fire! Set it on fire! As the torch was thrown on the wagon piled with supplies, the flames quickly rose

Yao Sen came to a carriage that was not on fire and opened it. A look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly ordered "Fight the fire with all your strength, quickly" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
