The torrent of rain usually hit the city gate. Amidst the rain, the crowded and blocked entrance of Nulon City was mixed with all kinds of noises.

"Get out of the way, back up!" the guards yelled with all their strength.

"Hit him, beat him." The nobles chased after the city gate guard without mercy, and the surrounding civilians also complained. Why did they only drive us away instead of the nobles? At this moment, a shrill cry of "enemy attack!" suddenly sounded. This sharp and frightening voice was like a high note that broke through the environment, making everyone's eardrums tremble. A shock

"Enemy attack?" The surrounding chaos paused slightly because of this sound, and then there was a burst of scolding laughter. Even the nobles who were chasing the city gate guard stopped in their tracks. Enemy attack? , your sister, enemy attack, actually thought of using this method to rescue the city gate guard, do you think everyone is a fool! Some people were shouting, "The enemy is still attacking Helena. Even if he grows wings and flies, he can't reach Newlon now!" Some people are also laughing. It's so funny. Even Gray is walking towards here. Dart couldn't recognize the sneer. Talent, he is so witty. The person who called out the enemy attack at this time is definitely a talent. It is too humiliating for such a person to be a soldier.

But soon. A burst of sirens came from afar, making everyone laugh suddenly, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" It was an old sentry tower set up high outside the city wall. There was an alarm bell hanging on the sentry tower. It came from the sentry tower. The bell on the other side was ringing desperately, and pigeons flew around in fright, as if someone had set fire to their buttocks.

"What's going on? It can't be a real enemy attack, right?" Gladat shuddered. He stopped and his face turned ugly.

"Pay attention to the front. Enemy cavalry!" The guards above the city gate shouted, and there was a commotion above the city courtyard. Soldiers ran back and forth, and the archer ran towards the arrow tower with a bag of arrows. "Oh my god, it's really an enemy attack!" The people at the city gate were shocked. The flow of people crowded at the city gate rushed back, and everyone was running into the city. Because there are too many people and it’s messy. The soldiers at the gate who were trying to merge the city gates were all washed away.

"Quick, close the city gate!"

Greedat shouted loudly and ordered the guards to rush forward and help the guards close the gate. A large number of noble carriages collided with each other, lying across the city gate. The gate could not be closed at all, and there was a whole row of carriages on the suspension bridge outside. The metal iron chain of the suspension bridge had been stretched straight, and the suspension bridge still did not move. Bastard, you are not moving. Ledat cursed angrily. At this moment, I even have the intention to kill,

If he had known that the enemy would come so soon, he would have just ordered to kill a few people and clear out the city gate. Now, when the enemy is approaching, Nulon is in a situation where the gates are all open. Although the carriage can prevent the opponent from rushing in directly, the opponent also only needs to hold the carriage to block Nulon's gate. Cannot be closed. This is what the opponent should be thinking of, the cavalry is just the forward. Even if a charge can be launched, it will not be possible to complete the occupation of Nulon, but if it can always ensure that the city gate cannot be closed, as soon as the opponent's main infantry arrives, Nulon will be a fish to be slaughtered. It is not that Gladat has no confidence in the defenders, but He's a little scared

"Bastard!" Gladat's face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward quickly, drew out his sharp sword with a cry, and rushed towards the city gate himself. A Feishan soldier escaped from the city gate. , was chopped to the ground by his sword, and everyone around him was frightened. Gladat shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone follow me up. If you don't want to die, you must close the city gate!" Anyone who retreats without permission will be shot without mercy! "

No matter what the cost, the city gate must be closed, this is what Gladat thinks

The enemy's cavalry arrived at Newlon so quickly, which proves that Helena Fortress is finished. There are five thousand people in Helena Fortress, all of whom are well-equipped regular troops. Even if they did not receive timely rescue, they should not have lasted even one morning. Live, so you can see, this time it's coming The enemy army is so terrifying. The cavalry is only the vanguard, and the real force is the infantry. A strong fortress like Helena cannot hold on for a whole morning, and it is even more impossible for Newlon, who has only five or six thousand men left at his disposal. , now that the city gate is wide open, you are waiting to die!

"Assault!" On the opposite side, the galloping cavalry approached quickly, and a blade of light tore through the white rain curtain. The cavalry swooped down like a flock of black eagles, and the sound of neatly drawing out their swords came from the opposite side at the same time, like a burst of tearing cotton. , in the wind and rain, there was suddenly a penetrating feeling of drinking blood, charging into the formation with a uniform speed, like a hurricane Wrapped in the wind and rain, it came crashing down on our heads, with a rumble. The horse's hooves raised up the broken soil on the ground. This rolling sword light was like a river of light turning up in the rain curtain. The horse's hooves rumbled. , the ground trembled, like a huge avalanche. Taking advantage of the curvature of the slope, the cavalry group rushed up to Newlon's suspension bridge like knives,

"Quickly"

The Feishan soldiers at the city gate turned pale with fright, and they were still trying to pull the carriage. The lightning-fast black cavalry passed by them like a hurricane. The sharp swords in their hands, with a hint of coldness, struck the Feishan people. With a slight stroke on the stunned neck, the big head was chopped into the air by a sharp blade, bringing up streaks of blood that rose to the sky, and the horse's hooves rolled in,

"Kill!" Gladat's guards also rushed up, and the two sides collided violently. "Crash" Feishan's soldiers were like broken leaves rolled up in the storm. They were knocked away by the galloping horses, and the cavalry's spears hit them hard. Stabbing hard, blood spurted out, and Feishan's soldier's spear also stabbed into the imperial cavalry's horse with the sound of wind. The horse neighed, and the knight on top flipped off the horse covered in blood.

More infantrymen also rushed over, including many heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor. The passionate shouts of killing resounded through the city gate. Feishan soldiers struggled to withstand the impact of the imperial cavalry. In the blood red, they blocked the carriages at the city gate. It was being pulled away bit by bit, but more black cavalry swords were also attacking at the same time. The most intense conflict between the two sides was the carriage, which was completely stained red with blood. Many imperial cavalry jumped from their horses onto the carriage. Use the cavalry lance in your hand to kill with all your strength, and the blood is bright red. Like water squeezed out when a pipe bursts. Shooting out from the gap in the soldier's armor! The fallen bodies looked like wheat stubble cut away by a giant scythe in late autumn. Stacks are stacked piece by piece into stacks.

"Hold on, never retreat!"

"Kill. Kill forward!"

The two sides were completely in a state of madness. Gradat personally supervised the battle from behind, holding a long sword. When he saw the person running behind, he was met with a sword. The sharp blade penetrated his body completely, and blood spattered to the ground of the city gate. superior. Fei Shan's bow archer above the city gate could no longer care whether he was one of his own people or the enemy below, and he shot down fiercely.

"withdraw!"

Feeling that the capture was hopeless, the Imperial cavalry began to retreat. In a short confrontation, more than a hundred brave Imperial cavalry were killed, and the Nulon defenders suffered even greater losses. There were more than three hundred people, so many corpses, crowded at the gate of Nulon City, almost piled up around the carriage. They were dripping with blood and had broken limbs. Feishan soldiers were holding weapons and gasping for breath. The enemy is too scary. He was not afraid of death when he charged forward. Even with a defensive advantage, the battle loss ratio reached three to one. If all the cavalry were really allowed to rush into the city gate, they would not be able to stop them even if they died in battle. Seeing the enemy slowly retreating into the distance, everyone felt as if their whole bodies were falling apart as soon as they stopped. , it feels like the air in the lungs has been squeezed cleanly

Hot breath. There was blood all over the mouth and nose. Gladat heard the soldiers next to him breathing heavily like himself, like a drum being beaten with a broken head.

The soldiers tried their best to pull the carriage away, and the city gate slowly closed. The soldiers staggered and collapsed on the ground, and finally closed it.

"vomit" someone bent over and vomited violently. Although they were Feishan border guards, some of them were city guards. They had never encountered such a terrifying scene like Shura hell. Even some veterans could remain calm and their faces were pale. It would be nice to see them go there. After a brief confrontation, the ferocity of the enemy left a deep impression on them.

"Sir, this does not seem to be the uniform of the Istan army!" When Gladat's adjutant was cleaning up, he found that the armors of the enemy cavalry who died in the battle were all black, and there was a white thorn flower symbol on the chest. Flower, that is the symbol of the Central Army of the Falcon Empire. Weapons like curved bows were found on the bodies of some of the horses that died in the battle.

"Of course this is not the Istan Cavalry, this is the Falcon Empire Cavalry!" Gradat picked up an Imperial crossbow, his pupils tightened, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a slightly trembling tone,

The moment he saw the imperial crossbow, his first reaction was that he was dazzled. How could the Falcon Empire cavalry come from the Eastern Province of Istan? His second reaction was that the matter was serious. If the attack It was not the Istani people who descended on Helena Fortress, but the Falcon Empire, which had already asked Feishan Kingdom to do its best to deal with it.

Then, after the two fronts on the coast and the Bavaria area, the emperor's invasion from the Eastern Province was even more shuddering. It was definitely a throat-sealing sword stabbed from behind. Fei Shan's military strength was now almost With all the pressure on the front two fronts, there is nowhere left to spare. To deal with the attack from the Eastern Province, the Falcon Empire broke out from the Eastern Province of Istan, and the Falcon Empire's Navy Minister made a surprise visit to Kyoto in Istan recently. Such a situation is really too easy. People thought that the two empires would join forces to strangle Fei Shan!

"Immediately report the situation as quickly as possible. The Falcon Emperor broke in from the direction of the Eastern Province. Helena Fortress has fallen into the enemy's hands!" Gladat bit his lip with a determined expression and handed the imperial crossbow in his hand to the adjutant. Submit this together with the report! It must be delivered to the base camp within two days."

"Let's camp on the spot"

Zhuxi Kane stared at the city wall in the distance, and waved his hand to the messenger cavalry behind him with some reluctance. The army fought fiercely for a whole day, and encountered such heavy rain. The failure of the city gate assault had little impact on the entire battle. The infantry group of the Imperial Central Army arrived in the evening. At this time, the rain became even heavier, sweeping across like a crazy wild horse, slapping people on the face. It hurts, like countless white lines making holes in the earth. The ground turns into mud under the erosion of rain. It seems that God's will is so. The imperial team set up a tent in the open space, and the soldiers were busy carrying it despite the rain. Supplies, Gladat on the city wall looked sternly at the forest of spears of the black army in the distance, and took a deep breath of the fresh air with raindrops. "Fortunately, the city gate is closed."

The war ended because of the rain. It became so hazy that it was difficult to see clearly, like two players playing cards alternately, with the Empire seemingly having the advantage. But at this moment. He also had to give his opponent some time to breathe. The same raindrops were hitting the window sill of King Feishan's room at this moment. It was completely white outside the window. King Feishan, who was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looked a lot more haggard. There was no longer any black hair in the autumn frost-like white hair on his temples. The look he was looking at the map was like a hunter looking for the prey's nest, from meeting the falcon. Empires clash until now. Fei Shan's situation became increasingly difficult, as he was unable to defeat the Hundred Thousand Emperors in a short period of time. Faced with the full pressure of the empire, weaknesses in military strength began to appear. Fei Shan was able to withstand the Istan Empire with the strength of his country. Facing the Falcon Empire at its peak, Fei Shan's national power has been squeezed to the limit. Months of war have damaged the domestic economy and affected agricultural production, making the old man increasingly feel deprived and powerless.

"My Fei Shan's rise to power, twenty years of hard work, is this all?" An inexplicable thought flashed through King Fei Shan's mind. The hand pressing on the map couldn't help but tighten. With a body in his sixties, he didn't know if he could hold on until the end of the war. My heir is probably no match for that falcon! So no matter how difficult the situation is, there is no turning back. Either win and force the Falcon Empire to negotiate, or lose and Feishan becomes a vassal of the Falcon Empire like the Barrow countries in Central Europe.

There were footsteps at the door, it was Patton who was in charge of the coastal operations. The eyes of Feishan, a famous general, turned red. The war was imminent, and the pressure on the coast was the greatest. Although the Bavaria Mountains had the largest number of troops, most of Feishan's troops were not there, but towards the coast. After losing two legions of nearly 100,000 troops, the 100,000 emperors on the opposite side plus the remnants of more than 100,000 Istanbul troops, a total of two More than 100,000 troops were ready to attack, and they had the advantage. However, after several battles, Fei Shan's troops were at 160,000 to 70,000 people. The gap in strength forced Fei Shan to change from a strategic attack to an attack. For strategic defense, the entire kingdom had painstakingly prepared a counterattack plan for two months, but it came to an abrupt halt because of the emperor's intervention.

From an advantage to a disadvantage, this was a heavy blow to the morale of Fei Shan's army on the coast.

"Your Majesty!" Baton'er stood at attention, put his hands on his chest, and bent down to salute King Feishan.

"You're here." King Feishan gestured to him and asked, "What's the situation on the coast? Have you found out the movements of the Imperial Navy?"

"Not yet." Patton nodded and replied, "The emperor has completely blocked the coast, especially at the port, and implemented very strict inspections. As soon as our military spies sneak in, they will be immediately found by the patrol. And according to the news, The main force of the Imperial Navy has been transferred to Triland Island. Our people have no choice at all. As for the Imperial Army, it has been much calmer during this period. Most of the operations are carried out by the Istan Army. The Istan Army does not seem to be very willing to become cannon fodder for the Falcon Empire, so in most cases Even though the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, tens of thousands of people fought, but only one or two hundred people were lost before they evacuated in a panic."

"So, until now, we still don't know the movements of the main force of the Imperial Navy?"

King Feishan sat down in his seat, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and said in a solemn voice, "The sudden disappearance of several squadrons of the Imperial Navy some time ago has always given me a bad feeling. If it was to threaten Istanbul, Man, the Imperial Navy should sail out in an open and honest manner. , only in this way can the purpose of deterrence be achieved. If you leave so secretly and are accompanied by a large number of transport ships, is it a long-distance voyage? This is the troublesome part. There are a large number of transport ships and the threat of the Falcon Emperor. It went from being a fixed point to being able to Launching a landing operation in any area of ​​the coastline is simply a difference from one point to one surface. For the Imperial Navy, the Feishan Coast is full of loopholes. In order to avoid losses, we have to order the parts that are still under control. Coastal ports are closed and no ships are allowed to go to sea. However, this situation cannot last long because winter is coming. If enough aquatic products cannot be obtained before the sea freezes in winter, the food gap this winter will no longer be filled. This means that a large number of Feishan civilians will starve to death this winter!

"I don't care what method you use, you must find the movements of the Imperial Navy as soon as possible. This is an urgent issue related to the lives of countless Feishan people!" King Feishan tapped his fingers on the table and shook his head with a livid face.

"Yes, I understand!" Patton replied with an embarrassed look. Feishan's several months of continuous wars, from the Istan Empire to the Falcon Empire, had already restricted the food trade on the market in order to ensure military rations. If we lose it again, In previous years, fishery resources supported one-third of the food supply, which would definitely have disastrous consequences for Fei Shan now.

"Your Majesty, urgent military report!" the palace attendant's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" King Feishan shouted

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Newlon. The Falcon Emperor has been discovered in the direction of the Eastern Province! The Helena Fortress has fallen." The palace attendant walked in with a military report and whispered in front of King Feishan. Old King Feishan took the report. His hand paused, his wrinkled eyes narrowed into a thin line, to be continued
