Realm of Power

The small sentry tower on the outskirts of the river valley is the closest point facing these imperial cavalry at this moment. This kind of small military fort that plays a defensive role on the outside of the city has a very limited area. It has a stone base and wooden walls. Above is a thick thatched roof. The walls and roofs were thickly coated with mud to prevent attacking enemy rockets from coming in. Only a centurion-sized garrison was used to guard it. Coupled with Silas's army's usual habit of eating empty pay, the actual number of soldiers stationed was less than sixty.

The first thing these soldiers did at this moment was to tighten their bodies. The murderous Imperial Cavalry stopped a hundred meters away from the guard tower. There were also some Imperial Rangers patrolling back and forth. The rocks stepped on by the horse's hooves rolled wildly, and the Cavalry The cold light of the stabbing spear flickered around like a devouring beast, enough to make people smell the blood on it.

"Oh my god, what can I do?"

The Silas soldiers in the guard tower were leaning against the battlements with pale faces, their bodies were trembling, and they were praying at a loss. Their bodies were completely hidden within the wall of the guard tower. Some people were so scared that they peed their pants and were so full. The smell of urine in space, but no one thinks it is funny. They are going to die. Who is in the mood to laugh? Now I can only pray that this sentry tower is strong enough to block the emperor's attack. During the fierce attack, some people were crying and complaining in low voices, "What kind of fate are these? Not to mention being forced to fight, why were they sent to guard this place? It is called the outpost of the army. The most important thing is the entire army." But when it comes to a critical moment, who cares whether your eyes live or die? After all this time, has any of the tens of thousands of people in the valley come to rescue you?

Dead, dead this time!

The face of the officer leading the team was even more ugly. He knew better that a small sentry tower like his was not even qualified to serve as a side dish in the eyes of the emperor. If there were Hungarian cavalry outside, the Hungarians were not good at attacking fortified positions and were first class in field battles. One is very powerful, but will be blinded when it encounters fortifications. The Huns may not be willing to attack such a small sentry tower, and most of them will choose to go around it. But why are the imperial cavalry outside so angry with this small sentry tower? If you want to fight the main force of the kingdom in the valley, just go and fight it. , I just pretended not to see it here,

Could it be that the enemy who could not be stopped by tens of thousands of people could be stopped by his own small sentry tower?

But these killing gods who came from the northwest carrying cold wind and frost knives stopped right in front of the sentry tower. The mounted cavalry is the charging cavalry. The dismounted and picked up weapons and shields are the heavy infantry in full armor. The charging, killing people are like chopping vegetables. The combat power is much more abnormal than the Hungarians, not to mention the long-range shooting ability of the imperial cavalry. Above the Hungarian cavalry, the entire Silas army had been shot to the north during this period. The first reaction when seeing the imperial cavalry was to run. The soldiers of Silas were all light infantry with crude weapons and mostly broken leather armor. The imperial cavalry used the Central Army Breakthrough Crossbow, which was specially designed to deal with heavy cavalry. The encounter was a bloody hole piercing the body. At close range, it was not uncommon to be hit by two arrows. The tens of thousands of troops outside had not yet been defeated by the opponent's blow. With such a small number of people, can I fill the gap between the other party's teeth?

The crisp sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the unique cobblestones outside the river valley carries a sense of rhythm. Dahl, the squadron leader of the Imperial Central Army, stopped his horse outside the sentry tower. His stern eyes swept over the sentry tower, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together. The terrain here became a bit compressed, and his hair was blown by the wind caused by the rolled up river valley. But his expression didn't change at all.

What are the Silas doing? This is already the front of the river valley. According to normal circumstances, when enemies appear on the periphery, this place should respond. To send a message, you only need to send it here and hand it over to the Silas people. It is not a negotiation. Is it possible? Do you want to go in and meet with the upper echelons of the Silas people?

He didn't know that in the valley at this time, the chaotic Silas army had already swarmed into the large fortress with solid outer walls. Tens of thousands of people were pressing on the battlements. The archers and spearmen were suppressed by the officers in a commotion, and they didn't dare to breathe. Panting, the black tide-like imperial cavalry line in the distance is like a mountain pressing on everyone's heart, and the sharp lance is like a layer of white lines spreading to the two wings.

"Your Majesty, the front is dangerous. If there is a war, it may be affected. The imperial crossbow can reach more than 150 meters. It is too dangerous!"

"Your Majesty, with Mr. Yeheya sitting in command and a strong wall composed of tens of thousands of troops, the emperor would never dare to attack the Odek city wall. Your majesty has a noble body, so it is better to command from the center!" A group of Silla rushed in in a panic! General Si is dissuading King Baijir II of Silas not to come to the front line in person.

King Silas stood in the hall where the brazier was crackling, with a gloomy expression. He was fifty years old, slightly fat, and had a pair of puff-like eyes with almost no pupils visible, but he was somewhat calm. Wei, on the long table in the hall, there are also dishes that I just took a few bites of. Big white meat, because most of the food is now used to supply the Hungarian Eastern Army, and there is really nothing to rob in the areas that have been raided by the Hungarians. The food standard of His Majesty King Silas has dropped drastically, that's all The generals are basically boiled meat. In addition, there is a shortage of manpower to collect firewood. The meat of these horse and mule animals was also cooked half-cooked.

There was an unpleasant sound of chewing. Coupled with the smell of half-cooked food coming from the mouths of the generals, King Silas's face turned blue for a while. He didn't really want to go forward, he just felt that the Falcon Emperor was coming, and he was Why should I go and take a look for the king? It’s nothing to just hide behind and not show up. When I was young, I also went to the battlefield. Although I can’t see the blood of the battlefield these years, I won’t degenerate. To the extent that he would be killed by the Emperor's sniper if he showed his face!

At this moment, heavy footsteps were heard, and a stout General Silas strode in. It was Yehoya, Minister of Military Affairs of Silas, who was sitting in front. This strong man with Yashili ancestry looked ordinary, but his height of two meters gave people a strong sense of oppression. He was wearing heavy armor. It is simply a big mountain, and the Silas army is not all incompetent. There are a few people in any nation who are not afraid of death. This Jehoya climbed to this position by fighting in battle and risking his life.

Back when they were still the Rila people, this Jehoya once led the army of Silas to assist the Rila people in fighting. During the siege battle, he conquered the city for the first time several times and had four or five spears piercing his shoulders and back. It was a serious injury, but it only took ten or twenty days to recuperate. After applying the medicine, he could not only get up, but also ride a horse with one arm hanging in armor. Even Ruila Jun looked at him sideways. At this moment, he was wearing a suit of scale armor, and the wind was blowing as he walked. When he walked in from the outside, there was a gust of wind, which made the flames of the brazier in the hall sway.

"How's it going? How's the situation ahead?" Baijia II asked eagerly.

Yeheya bowed respectfully to Baijir II and said in a rough voice, "Your Majesty, everything is stable in front. The army camp is impregnable. The Falcon Emperor did not launch an attack. They sent someone to deliver a letter. , and evacuated, my subordinates personally went out to inspect the river mouth, and there was not even a single bird feather visible at the entrance of the river valley."

"Withdrew? Baijia II's face suddenly became dull. The other General Silas was also stunned. The Falcon Emperor touched the door and just dropped a letter and withdrew! How is this possible?

"Your Majesty is so majestic. The imperial cavalry must have felt ashamed of your majesty's military power. They dare not fight. What else can they do except run away in despair!" General Silas reacted immediately and immediately took a big picture of Bai Ji. The flattery of Asia II, what is the center of things? After intimidating the enemy, seeing the Kingdom's army in full formation, clowns like the Falcon Empire didn't even have the guts to step forward.

"That's right. I, King Silas, am so powerful that these northwest barbarians can't compete with me!" For a moment, the generals all beamed. They all said that this was the case, and that was the only way. Baijia II's nervous expression finally relaxed a little. In fact, he also knew that these generals were incompetent, but even if they were incompetent, they still showed some loyalty just now. On the contrary, this Heya, forget it if you sit at the front. The Falcon Emperor evacuates, why are you running to the mouth of the valley to see what happens? What if those killing gods are found again!

"Yeheya, did you just say that there was a letter?" Baijia II coughed dryly, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and sat down on the main seat of the hall. The emperor withdrew, and his kingly power came, and his tone Appreciation said, "Thanks to you this time, I will remember your benefits!"

"This reckless man is really lucky. The Falcon Empire's crossbows were blinded and they didn't hit this big guy's throat with an arrow!" Several generals Silas who tried to dissuade Baijier II rolled their eyes viciously. Looking at Yeheya's figure, there was undisguised contempt on his face. What's the use of knowing how to fight? It's useful to let His Majesty the King know who is the most loyal. A person without much background You are such a reckless man, you are still grateful in your heart for being able to reach this point. If it weren’t for the fact that the Hungarians asked for an experienced general to serve as the central coordinator, how could the position of Minister of Military Affairs fall on you? After this battle, The resignation of the Minister of Military Affairs is not far away. The army was defeated some time ago. This guy who has more muscles than brains should have been allowed to get as far away as possible! "That's it!" His face was calm, as if he felt the unkind gazes of the generals. Yeheya frowned slightly, naturally knowing the little thoughts of those generals, but just thinking of the content of the letter in his hand, he took a cold breath Feeling refreshed by the air, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Baijia II with both hands raised.

The air in the hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone looked over.

The imperial cavalry put up such a formation outside just to deliver a letter? What kind of letter has such magic power? Under everyone's curious eyes, Baijia II opened the letter, paused on it, blinked, looked at it again, and suddenly grinned,

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Falcon Empire would look down on us Silas so much, saying that the Hungarians are going to be defeated, let us Silas prepare in advance! What a joke, how could the Hungarian army be defeated, and we need What preparations are there! I didn’t expect the Falcon Emperor. The alliance between the country and the Rila people has actually learned all about the self-righteousness of the people of Silas. Do you really think that a false threat can make me, Silas, betray me?" Baijia II laughed loudly, He circulated the letter in his hand to everyone,

Is the Falcon Empire stupid? This is not trying to win over others, it's just playing a fool in front of you! What does it mean that the Hungarians are going to be defeated? What does Silas mean? You need to prepare early. If you have the ability, defeat the Hungarians first and then say something like this. Then everyone will have their own choices, even if they are hugging each other, now the Hungarians The momentum is in full swing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is at the peak of the sun. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest thigh. You will lose as soon as you say it. You are just kidding. After reading the letter, General Silas in the hall had expressions on his face. There was already a feeling of depression about being looked down upon by the enemy.

There were also one or two who were discerning and immediately expressed that the sinister intention of this letter was really vicious. One of them, General Silas, an old man, squinted his eyes and suggested, "Your Majesty. This should be a conspiracy of the Falcon Empire. Please persuade us." False, the purpose is to create a gap between us and the Hungarians! Why not give this letter to the Hungarians? No matter whether the Hungarians' failure is true or not, even if it is a reminder to them! The magnanimous sincerity of being an ally!”

"Leave it to the Hungarians! This is a good idea!" General Silas nodded one after another. Only Yeheya looked a little strange and did not bite.

"That's it, that's it! Send this letter to Baidu Lasu immediately."

Baijia II glanced at everyone and consciously ignored this big man who had more muscles than brains. He was tall but his reaction was slower than others. It's true that he can fight in wars, but it's not the turn of a reckless man to intervene in such a military and national matter that uses brains.

The sky was already getting dark, with leaden gray clouds hanging low. It was so low that it seemed to be pressing on the ground. The sun is about to set behind the dark clouds, dim and feeble,

The Hungarian military minister Baidurasu appeared at the foot of a high slope a few hundred meters away from the outpost of Fegey, his gaze. As he walked, he looked towards the fire ditch that was still burning in the distance. During the daytime battle, tens of thousands of people died in that area, except for a small number of Hungarians who had their bodies collected. More piles of corpses of Rila slaves were piled up by the Hungarian army into three huge mountains of corpses, which shocked the defenders on the Fegey side. Each mountain of corpses was five or six meters high. There were countless severed limbs, and the blood flowed like a stream, like purgatory. Under the dim sunset light, it seemed to be crumbling. Every time I look at it, I feel like I am seeing hell, which is enough to shake the hearts of everyone who witnesses it.

"It's coming soon, it's coming soon." Baidulasu raised his steps and walked up the last step. It seemed that he was not talking to anyone, but more to himself that he had suppressed for a long time. Following the words, the old man His body became more and more dignified,

"Urgent report from Silas!" A fast horse sentry rider appeared at the bottom of the slope, and hurriedly stepped onto the steps with a letter in his hand.

Ten minutes later, Baidulasu held this urgent report in his hand. The fatigue in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his breathing even became rapid. He stood on the top of the slope, and the wind around him rushed towards him, as sharp as a knife. He wanted to cut his face, squeeze the emergency report in his hand tightly, and sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Am I going to fail? Are you kidding? I will use Falcon Empire The corpses of 60,000 elite warriors have piled up a bigger mountain of corpses! I will use this blood to support Hungary’s national destiny for a hundred years!” After a while, the old man’s face calmed down and he sighed. He said, "These Silas people are really worrying. If something happens, they will definitely add insult to injury!"

Fegey Fortress is quiet, with only the footsteps of the patrolling sergeants on the wall ringing softly in the night. Looking from top to bottom, the long river of light and shadow formed by the Hungarian army camp in the distance seems to reflect the distant land. In a bloody state, Boaso dragged his tired body and patrolled with several attendants. The defenders on the city wall Most of them were sleeping in their armor. If there was any slight disturbance, they would react immediately. Everyone did not expect any reinforcements to arrive. They only hoped to fight to the end and hold on to the outpost on the river bank for Bai. The tens of thousands of people from the southern part of the country who were rescued during the day were evacuated to buy some time.

Boaso's eyes were bloodshot, and he had not closed them all day and night. Veteran Rilla, who was holding on to his energy, felt a little shaky at the moment, but he tried hard to open his eyes, holding on to the cold wall at night, unwilling to close them. Go up, deeply afraid that no one will notice I fell asleep and wasted precious thinking time. One hundred thousand people were rescued by a fire trench, and 40,000 were saved, and 60,000 died. So what will happen tomorrow? The method of fire ditch can no longer be used, and there are those two What to do with the 100,000 Rila people controlled by the Hungarians? Do we really want to kill them all in front? It's definitely not a pleasant feeling to shoot arrows at your own compatriots, not to mention the two hundred thousand people, with the already exhausted thirty thousand rila army, they can't stop them even if they want to! Once it breaks down, the consequences... there will be no consequences! Not only are the 30,000 defenders trying to get in, but even the 60,000 emperors on the flanks will probably be completely destroyed in this battle.

Although he disliked the Falcon Empire at first, now, Boatho also admits in his heart that uniting the Falcon Empire is of great significance to Rila's existence. The Falcon Empire has no reservations in this battle, and there is no so-called intrigue or sacrifice. Ruila came to protect herself, even more so, she couldn’t see it.

He himself was rescued by the Falcon Empire's cavalry. In order to delay Hungary's northward advance, Yaglins, one of the emperor's wings, did not avoid danger and led 10,000 imperial cavalry to launch a desperate counterattack on the southern part of Rila. The other member of the two wings, Reposti, unreservedly pulled the 60,000 imperial troops to the front line of Fegei, just to prevent Rila's 30,000 frontier troops from being attacked from both sides.

This friendship between the two is there, who dares to say that the emperor has hidden something? This time, it is Ruila that owes the empire. Ruila people can die, but they should not let the 60,000 emperors die here. If everyone dies, who will save these 200,000 Ruila people!

"Sir, the Falcon Emperor's Lord Reposti is here!" Just as he was hesitating, the adjutant whispered in his ear (To be continued...)
