Realm of Power

In Perez Fortress, the army destroyed the city. In the wind that blew like a knife towards the face, Reposti's stern face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

From his position, he could see the Hungarian army standing tall in the distance, the reflection of their armor and blades, and the huge wounds in the camp that stretched for more than ten miles. The Hungarian wolf-head flag stood like a huge colorful cloud, and he could only see these embroidered edges with gold and red threads. The battle flag swept and whirred straight in the wind, and the murderous aura soared into the sky.

This is a super-heavy force group of more than 100,000 Eastern Army, 200,000 Riela slaves and 60,000 Silas people. The black cloud gathered in front of Peres Fortress is an unprecedented force of more than 400,000 people. It is almost a The entire population of the small principality is spread here. Once the war starts, it will definitely be Landslides and tsunamis are definitely the biggest test that Perez, the southern barrier, will face since it was established. The huge pressure, like a large army destroying a city, is heavy for anyone, and the entire Perez Fortress is overwhelmingly blocked. On every defender's mind, can this war still be won? If the brutal Hungarian army drives hundreds of thousands of Rila people to attack the city, can I make up my mind to shoot the arrow in my hand? If the Hungarians really break through the Peres Barrier, will Rila really be doomed? These are probably questions that every guardian wants to say, but cannot.

At the corner of the city entrance on the left, Rila veteran Boaso was walking in a hurry. The red general's cloak was dragging on the ground, reflecting on his bronze armor rings.

Behind him, there were more than thirty Rila officers, large and small, ranging from generals to middle- and lower-level officers, and their expressions were similar to Boaso's.

This kind of group is almost all the middle and upper-level officers of the Ruila Army here. The arrival of these people makes the atmosphere around them become very weird.

"Your Excellency Boaso, what are you doing?" Riposti turned around in feigned surprise. Looking at Boaso, he also glanced at the dozens of Rila officers behind him.

"You guys stop!" Boaso looked serious and waved to the people behind him a few meters away. Dozens of officers following behind him stopped at the same time, and the surrounding soldiers were quickly cleared away.

With a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, Boaso stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Reposti, can you tell me whether the Falcon Empire has defeated the Hungarians on the northern front?" The Spanish Army? If that’s the case. When will the Imperial Army go south to rescue?”

"Going south for rescue?"

Reposty frowned slightly, hesitated, and said in a sincere tone, "I'm sorry, I haven't received any reports of this kind of situation! Although I don't know where you got the news from, I'm sorry, I really don't know!"

"So, this news is fake news?" Boasuo's excited face changed, like an eggplant beaten by frost, it suddenly became much older.

The breathing of the other officers stopped at this moment, and there seemed to be flames extinguishing in their eyes. Yes, how is it possible? The Rila officers lowered their heads, with a hint of desolation and sadness on their faces. The Spanish Hungarian army was not strong, but it still numbered 300,000 people. Even if there were 300,000 pigs, it would be very difficult to drive them all in one go, let alone the 300,000 mighty army that had just slaughtered several royal capitals. The emperor's combat power is strong, but to defeat 300,000 Hungarian troops in a short period of time is really shocking and completely unimaginable. However, these Rila officers still fight hard and may be punished. , and also encourage his superior to ask Reposti personally,

After receiving such a certain result, everyone looked a little disappointed.

"What are you doing squatting here? Go and do whatever you have to do. I don't know the situation on the northern front, but I know that if Peres is killed, you bastards will all be sinners of the kingdom!" Veteran General Boaso said fiercely, with a serious face. He glanced at everyone's faces and said in a serious tone "If the alliance between Ruila and the Empire cannot restore the current situation, then it is possible that the final result of this war that shakes the entire Central European Barrow will tear the entire Kingdom of Ruila into pieces, but as Ruila Soldiers, it is your honor to die for your country! "

"You don't need to lose confidence. Although we don't know the battle situation on the northern front, the main force of the empire has already invested. Judging from the time, I believe there will be news soon!" Reposti shrugged his shoulders and came out to smooth things over. Don't be too cautious. Damn the confidence of the people of Ruila, as an empire, here As the highest military officer in the land, he naturally has access to the highest level of military reports. Naturally, he knows that the empire did not defeat the 300,000 Western troops, but massacred this brutal army that swept through half of Central Europe. However, for reasons of confidentiality , the news that the emperor defeated the Hungarian Spanish army on the northern front is top secret.

Reposti spared his head, and all he could tell the people of Rila was that the main force of the emperor had already committed to the northern front, and the war situation should improve. However, the news of the defeat of the Hungarian Spanish army was more or less It was still transmitted from the Rila people. Rilla also had its own intelligence network. Although it was not as fast as the empire, such an exciting battle naturally wanted to be transmitted as quickly as possible.

It should be that no one is sure about this news. In addition, the gate of the Peres Barrier is closed, and the army outside is besieging the city, which cuts off the possibility of spreading to the south. Otherwise, once the news crosses the Peres Barrier, it will fall to the Hungarian outside. In the ears of the Eastern Army Prime Minister, what impact will it have on the entire war situation? What impact will it have? No one can predict that the fierce Hungarian advance outside will stop, and even create opportunities for the Rila people to counterattack the south. However, compared with the empire's missed opportunity to completely annihilate the Hungarian army, it is only a counterattack. In the southern part of the Kingdom of Rila, there are still gains outweighing the losses.

As an emperor, the first thing his eyes accommodate is the interests of the empire, and then his personal emotions.

Although Ruibosti looked at the disaster that the Rila people suffered from the broken mountains and rivers, and felt a little sympathy, when it was really necessary to adhere to principles, the military style was unquestionable. Looking at the Rila veteran Boaso, he felt a little bowed. He wanted to walk up to the building, but in the end he stopped with complicated eyes. Although they were once enemies, these Ruila soldiers were respectable.

For example, on the southern front that I saw, according to the battle report, although the Kingdom of Rila's original troops on the southern front were quickly defeated by the Hungarian army, before the war began, the Kingdom of Rila had already given the order to abandon the southern front. The decision, as a result, still resulted in a death toll of up to 47,000 people, almost three-quarters of the Rila Confederate Army.

Among them, of the 47,000 people who died in the battle, only 13,000 were killed by the attack during the initial battle with the Huns. The other more than 30,000 people were all evacuated after receiving orders. After giving the order, I felt something, but still stubbornly stood firm and resisted the Hungarian attack. In the end, I was destroyed by a group of Hungarian cavalry.

At the cost of the death of more than 30,000 soldiers, the Empire and Rila joined forces to deploy a second line of defense within a week, ultimately covering the evacuation of more than 700,000 southerners, and ultimately allowing the Hungarians to attempt to Within a week, the strategic plan to break through the Perez Barrier and go straight into the hinterland of Rila ran aground, and thirty thousand people died in this Central European Barro hegemony battle based on one hundred thousand people. In the urgently sent battle reports, there is a series of cold numbers that do not seem shocking.

But in the eyes of Reposti, a general who has been fighting on the front lines all year round, these numbers are people. They are beating, living lives, just like the officer Jagelins said he met during the evacuation who was unwilling to evacuate. When the mountains and rivers were broken, I don’t know how many such soldiers died without hesitation. These are the soldiers of Ruila, who have withstood the rising barrier of Hungary, and can be on the same battlefield with such soldiers. It's not an enemy's position, but an ally. This is an honor. Otherwise, this time the Hungarian Eastern Army's thousands-mile attack, rushing into the southern part of Rila with the force of a storm, would not be the mere 400,000 in front of us. Fortunately, everything is only this. It’s only been a day or two, and even if it’s a bit of a lie, it’s forgivable.

Riposti closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly. Within his pupils, he could see the endless Hungarian army camps outside the city. The enemy was building siege equipment day and night. It seemed that they had not yet received the news of the destruction of the Western Army. The Empire The Xiting cavalry marched southward, and His Majesty Falcon personally led the army to cut off the retreat of the Hungarian Eastern Army. Soon, the Hungarian army flags covering the ground in front of them would be trampled to pieces by the ferocious iron hoofs of the empire!

On the fifth day, after the Hungarian army crossed the river, it had been stagnant in front of the Peres Fortress for two days. Various combat equipment had begun to show its scale. Large and small siege towers were used to block huge arrow clusters. Shields, as well as a large number of long-armed trebuchets, and the Hungarian cavalry that shuttled between the military camps began to frequent, all indicated that the Hungarian army's attack was about to begin.

That night, on the other side of the Perez Fortress, "Please open the fortress gate!" A messenger cavalry wearing black armor came galloping over and pulled the horse fiercely at the fortress gate. Behind him, the horse's hooves rumbled and the dust Rolling up, groups of black cavalry gathered like waves.

The guard officer at the gate of the fortress was from Rilla. This officer was so frightened by the battle in front of him that he shivered. Each cavalryman wore a sophisticated cavalry armor connected with lock plates, and on his head was something similar to the Hungarian cavalry. Similar pointed red tassel, carrying a recurve compound bow behind the back, on the hook on the side of the horse, left It is a three-meter cavalry spear bursting with cold light. On the right is a falcon-shaped cavalry shield with golden hot edges. The war horse is lightly armored, with only a part of the armor on the front. It does not carry much weight. It can be regarded as an assault cavalry or a bow. Cavalry, this was the first time he saw so many cavalry gathered,

The firelight on the fortress wall shines on these black cavalry armors. The red color emanating from it seems to have cooled the night air a bit. It is the color of blood. Many of the Xiting cavalry armors have not been washed clean. After receiving the report of the traces left by the massacre of the Hungarian Spanish army, Reposti personally climbed onto the city wall and confirmed the opponent's identity in the firelight. He saw Duo Weiyan,

"Lord Duo Weiyan?"

"Oh, it's Reposti! I came here under orders, I should know it, right?" Duo Weiyan looked up at him carelessly.

"Open the door! It's ours!" Reposti waved his hand calmly. The West Court Cavalry finally arrived, half a day earlier than predicted. It seems that His Majesty Falcon has indeed pushed the West Court Cavalry into a hurry. , the soldiers at the city gate ran to the fortress gate in panic, and took down the thick wooden poles inserted horizontally on it. Such wooden poles were as thick as a man's waist. There were ten such wooden poles stuck in the city gate.

"quack!"

Pushed by ten soldiers, the huge city gate of the fortress slowly opened with a friction sound. "Wow!" A fierce wind blew in from the gap in the open city gate. A pervasive smell of blood rushed in with the wind at the same time. , causing the expression of the Rilla officer behind the city gate to change. Rilla veteran Boaso, who was standing on the city wall and saw this scene, frowned slightly. The power of the imperial cavalry was deeply imprinted in his mind. In his eyes, the Falcon Empire Cavalry seems to be more in line with the true nature of soldiers. Killing is their profession, but it is not killing without a bottom line. However, this huge cavalry has no end in sight, but it has a sense of aura all over its body. His first impression of the barbaric cavalry group was somewhat similar to that of the Hungarian cavalry. It felt like a group of bloodthirsty beasts stepping into a hunting ground.

Are these beasts also Imperial Cavalry? Boaso turned pale and murmured in a low voice,

As a battle-hardened general, he would naturally not be frightened by the so-called murderous aura of nothingness. He just thought of some rumors. The Falcon Empire rose like a hurricane and wiped out two empires in one go. Among them, the rumors about this empire were famous for its ferocity and violence at the beginning. But later, as they interacted with each other, Only with more and more people did the Opalo countries understand a little about this generation of heroes who rose up in the northwest. This country has a large number of fearful businessmen. It is said that in the Falcon Empire, caravans do not need to pay customs duties. It is really hard to imagine a country with a large number of merchants. How could he have so many elite soldiers?

The Xiting cavalry, eager to go south, finally arrived at the southern fortress of Perez before early morning on the fifth day.

"Lord Reposti, we meet again. Please leave the polite words behind and say, tonight, I want to attack!" Duo Weiyan took off his helmet. Covered in travel dust, he said to the oncoming Reposti. The two talked for a while and learned about the situation of the Hungarian army outside the city. After hearing that the other party's camp was dragged out for more than ten miles, and they were still holding hostage. The large number of Ruila people took a short rest to rest their horses, and the 90,000 Xiting cavalry immediately pointed their spearheads at the Hungarian army outside the city. At this time, the Ruila people in the city also noticed that the reinforcements arriving from the empire did not seem to mean to stop on the spot. Instead, they simply washed their horses and ate some food. These came overnight and were covered with dust. The black cavalry immediately got on their horses. They were not uniform, but they undoubtedly showed their endurance and toughness.

"What are they going to do?" Boatho asked Reposti curiously. According to his understanding, these reinforcements should rest after arriving, so that they can engage in the difficult defensive battle tomorrow.

"Tonight is a good day for a surprise attack!" Reposti smiled.

I didn't expect that the empire's reinforcements would arrive on such a large scale. What is the concept of a 90,000 fully equipped cavalry group? Even the Hungarian Eastern Army, which is said to have 200,000 soldiers outside the city, has not reached such an equal level. The Hungarians have poor equipment and have always been the object of ridicule by the Barro countries in Central Europe. The Hungarians adopted It is a tribal management system, which shows that except for a small part of the unified regular army, most of the warriors are still managed by tribes. Also because the strength of the tribes in charge is different, the weapons and equipment they can provide are also very different.

"Open the fortress gate!"

Three hours later, before the sun had risen, white mist filled the air. Duo Weiyan, who was newly armored, mounted his horse, placed the grassland blue moon in his hand flat on the horse's back, looked up at the sky above, the stars were bright, and nine Thousands of Hungarian cavalry came out from the fortress gate, slowly moving forward like waves, their horses' hooves trampling on the cold ground, their noses touching the white breath,

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for 90,000 people to rush out in one go. Even according to the size of the city gate of Peres Fortress, it would take more than an hour. Fortunately, Peres Fortress has three parallel gates that are wide enough. The big fortress gate with three horses, which greatly shortened the time, The 90,000 people who marched out did not rush forward as expected. Instead, they chose to disperse in the dark shadow outside the fortress. At the front were melee cavalry wearing heavy armor. These melee cavalry had an inlay on their left hand. There is a semicircular tower shield on the armor, and a low-hanging spear in his right hand.

A messenger brought the report that all the cavalry had left the city.

"In that case, let's move forward."

Duo Weiyan nodded solemnly. As a ferocious wolf on the grassland, and with his research on the tactics of the imperial cavalry, under his unification, the Xiting cavalry was no longer the same type as it used to be. It was a chaotic mess, and it had begun to adopt a somewhat regular cavalry fighting posture.

The front row moved forward like a long dragon, with shields and spears arranged like a mountain, but the protection was extremely tight.

"Attack!"

The strange blue blue moon of the grassland was raised under the sight of 90,000 people in Xiting, and then suddenly fell. With a rumble, the horseshoes turned into muffled thunder, and the ground shook violently, killing the entire row of Xiting cavalry. Horseshoes flew up , rushed out from the front end, accelerating through the arc of the slope like an avalanche, relying on superb horse control skills, clamping the horse under the crotch, without much hesitation, and advanced neatly almost at the same time,

The battle array advanced smoothly and orderly, and the spears bursting with cold light began to lift up in a row only 200 meters away from the target.

Each team of cavalry centurions had a falcon flag erected on the back of their armor. The cavalry archers in the rear row neatly raised their powerful recurve bows. The wind blew violently, rolling up the vast mist of the earth, and in the distance The Hungarian camp seemed particularly quiet;

Or maybe the Hungarians could never have imagined that the fortress would choose to take the initiative to attack. According to the cavalry organization of the grassland, one team is 100 people, and a full 900 flags are rustling with the horses in the strong wind, like the sound of dense war drums,

stirring the eardrums of the grassland cavalry and stirring the blood in their bodies. Three million, right in front of them! If you say you are not excited, you are deceiving yourself! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
