Realm of Power

Under the fortress of Helena, tens of thousands of Feishan troops swarmed in like ants clinging to each other. The fierce blow from the fortress city also swept across the front line of the Pastanon Army like a storm.

Crossbows filled the sky, and the Imperial heavy crossbow arrows with diamond-shaped blood grooves as thick as arms in the front pierced hard, causing a bloody mess on the attack line, letting the private army of the Pastanon Army know what killing for a group charge is. Sharp weapons, countless white lights flew from the top of the city. Fei Shan's soldiers didn't even see clearly what they were, and their heads were cut off head-on. Blood spurted out like raindrops, and the sound of the heavy crossbow smashing shields stung everyone's eardrums one after another. "Ah" screamed in pain, and blood and flesh flew everywhere on the front line hit by the heavy crossbow. Pasta The half-scaled armor of the soldiers of the Peasant Corps could not reach the heavy crossbows at all, and the attack line, which was as dense as a tidal wave, was opened up with long fleshy roads more than ten meters long.

"Papa pa pa"

The powerful and heavy crossbow arrows often pierce the first person's body, and they have to pierce two or three human bodies before they suddenly plunge into the ground. Thick human blood flows down the fine iron arrow shaft, and soon A pool of blood mixed with the minced meat was formed, and the stumps torn apart by heavy arrows were scattered around like broken toys. That scene made the Fei Shanjun soldiers seen nearby feel chills in their hearts.

Commander Pastanon knitted his eyebrows tightly together. The loss was a small matter. What he valued was that the vigor inspired by the entire legion was wavering. This time, he wanted to seize the opponent's defense in one go. Twice the loss will also cover Helena's plan. If Helena's city wall is not even touched, it will be destroyed. The morale of the fight was shaken, and there was no need to talk about the ambition to capture Helena in one go and win the most critical first victory in the battle between the Falcon Empire and Feishan. With a solemn expression, he gave orders to the cavalry who had been waiting behind him. The captain ordered "" to order all generals to use all their strength in this battle, no matter who takes Helena. This first victory in the battle, together with all the spoils of war, as well as the achievements of the lone Falcon Empire army under the city of Nulon, are all his! "

"Is it all the trophies and achievements?" After hearing the order, the cavalry captain hesitated and couldn't help but ask again.

"Didn't you hear the order? That's right, all the spoils and achievements, go quickly." Pastanon nodded with a livid face, and waved his whip angrily. Of course he knew the hesitation of the messenger cavalry, Pastanon's family The rule of the private corps is that half of the loot must be turned over. This rule has been true since the day the private corps was established.

In the history of legion operations, this was only broken forty years ago. The situation at that time was similar to the present, except that it was the Istani army that broke through in the direction of Nulon. The Feishan Kingdom concentrated all its efforts on the Eastern Front and failed, and its only remaining combat power was The relatively complete Pasta Furniture Corps, as the main force of the kingdom, was surrounded by the Istan Legion. In front of all the soldiers, the old head of the Pasta family once said to the thousands of family elites responsible for the breakout. Say something similar. In that battle, 23,000 of the 31,000 private soldiers who participated in the battle were killed. That battle was a disaster for the entire Pasta family. It is an unforgettable tragedy,

None of the thousands of family elites who were responsible for the entire legion's mission to break through the siege survived, and four-fifths of the family's officers were killed in the battle. This was the most tragic loss for the Pasta Furniture Corps. The war forty years ago was unforgettable for the entire Pasta family. The fathers of many officers here died in that war. Almost all the men of the Pasta family were buried in it, and a large and powerful family turned into a home for orphans and widows overnight.

Therefore, such an order was regarded by the family soldiers as a vow of death and an ominous omen. In order to get rid of the impact of that war, the Pasta family spent a full generation, and that war The result was that Feishan's humiliating marriage to the Istanbul Empire ended with the cession of a large area. Ten years later, Feishan's alliance with Together with the Barrow countries in Central Europe, it was a foreshadowing of the sudden revenge against the Istan Empire. In order to express his apology to the Pasta family and commend the Pasta family for their incomparable loyalty to the kingdom, the Pasta private army was awarded to Feishan. The establishment of the regular army, so the Pasta family's private army is the only private army in the Feishan army sequence that has a regular military position.

"Is it all the spoils and achievements?" The eyes of the generals who gave the order were bright. This is not the decisive battle 40 years ago. The current situation is obviously beneficial to our side, so the meaning of this order is enough. All the generals felt their adrenal glands secreting faster,

"Come on, all the troops are pressing forward. Those who retreat will be killed on the spot!" The generals of the Pasta family frantically released their teams in a swarm. Countless flags undulated below the fortress, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the wind blew the military flags. There was a hunting sound above the head, the ground was like a chess piece, the city wall was shaking with the sound of fighting, and the legion suddenly burst out with a fierce energy.

"Advance, the enemy will collapse!" Officer Fei Shan was also loudly encouraging the blood of the soldiers. Densely packed heads crowded the plain in front of the fortress, like a kind of hypnosis. With so many troops facing a small Some people thought that the fortress would fail. The blood of the soldiers was stimulated to boil like boiling water, as if they were injected with chicken blood. The advancing troops were swept forward and rushed forward.

The first group of soldiers who arrived at the city wall began to throw hooks, and the simple siege ladder was firmly pressed against the city wall. The Helena Fortress was worthy of being a barrier that Feishan spent countless efforts to build, and every bar that made up the fortress was The stone capital meets the hard conditions of three meters long and half a meter wide, and has a solid three-dimensional city wall with a thickness of five meters, which is enough to withstand To withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of any heavy siege equipment, even the Imperial Army's Thor with siege weapons would need to hit an area with more than ten rounds in a row to shake the thick wall. The cold light swayed, reflecting the solid walls of Helena. On the top, the blood of soldiers from both sides splashed onto the city wall and splashed everywhere, making it ten times more bloody! ,

"Move back the heavy crossbow!"

At this time, Tanlisus, who had been mutilated with blood and was already the captain of the Governor's Guards, now appeared as the leader of the Sixth Banner of the Imperial Guards, standing on the fortress of Helena, the Imperial Crossbow After being pulled away from the battlements, the Imperial heavy crossbowman began to lean against the wall made of shields and shoot the crossbow arrows downwards. , layer after layer of corpses piled up into small mounds, and blood flowed along the cracks in the ground. When you step on it, you can feel the stickiness of human blood. The injured people were pressed in the pile of corpses and screamed for help. No one was there. When I had time to think about it, the Fei Shan soldiers behind me rushed forward regardless of the rain of arrows shot down from their heads.

Troops from the Pastanon Legion filled in one after another, and the wounded and dead were also carried down like a stream of water. There are dozens of temporary siege ladders, less than ten of which are still intact. Most of the soldiers cling to the rope hooks and rush forward with red eyes. More than a dozen Feishan flags are fluttering and rolling under the reflection of the flames. It was almost stuck on the pile of corpses below, and the sound of the Empire's heavy crossbow bouncing around on the city wall was heard. When the sound rang out, the armor of the Feishan heavy infantry, which was crowded into the gap, seemed to be broken open as easily as tofu, and they fell from the battlements with screams. No one counted how many people died. The Pastanon Legion fought desperately to get in. To fill in people, we must take advantage of the absolute advantage in military strength to win this most critical battle in one go.

Di Ze relied on the strong counterattack launched by the fortress and crippled seventeen squadrons of Fei Shan's army in just one hour. More than 5,000 corpses were stacked five to six meters high below the fortress. The heavy spears began to They collided together, making a metallic friction sound that tore the eardrums. The shields collided heavily, pressing one after another.

"We've entered the city!" An overwhelming cheer suddenly erupted from below the fortress. A group of Feishan heavy infantry was seen crossing the battlements. Now the slope of the city wall was densely covered with people, like a piece of The huge sugar cube was covered with ants, but everything stopped here. The deafening sound of "rumbling" stung everyone's eardrums, and a violent burst of fire exploded on the upper part of the city wall.

"What's going on?" The Pasta generals opened their mouths.

"What's going on?" The Feishan soldiers below watched dumbfoundedly as more than ten soldiers clinging to a section of the city wall were ignited by the red fire. Then the flames were like a golden flame waterfall, spreading down from the city wall and spreading to all sides. Like countless golden spirals rolling into the Feishan soldiers on the slope of the city wall,

Boom! The huge explosion occurred thirty meters away from the front of the city wall, like a volcano rushing out of the ground. The people standing on it were thrown into the air and then scattered like a goddess scattering flowers. The flames spread on the slope of the city wall. There was no place to hide, so many Feishan soldiers had no choice but to jump down. Fortunately, there were enough corpses piled below, so he didn't fall to death, but the wall of fire that spread all the way down the city wall soon burned even the bottom of the city wall. The attacking troops below had already dispersed when the explosion came from The arrows above their heads poured out wildly, and the soldiers who turned to flee were shot over in pieces.

"It's an Imperial fuel bomb!"

Pastanon's proud smile suddenly froze, and a large area of ​​red fire lit up the city. The advantage that had cost thousands of people was torn to pieces in an instant, and the soldiers outside the strike area were completely destroyed. The sight in front of me stunned me. The scorching heat wave brought the smell of blood to my nostrils. The mutilated corpses and severed limbs were burning in the flames. "Bastard!" Pastanon's knuckles holding the riding crop turned pale from excessive exertion.

He did not expect that the emperor would paint fuel on the slope of the city wall and bury fuel bombs under the city wall. It is no wonder that the opponent was so confident that even the God of Thunder did not arrange it. The attack of the entire legion was completely chaotic. The soldiers were running and the officers at a loss,

"Attention, there's something going on behind you!" The adjutant's panicked shout came to my ears.

"Behind" Pastanon's face changed greatly, and he turned his head in disbelief. At this point in the battle between the two armies, the soldiers who had been unable to attack for a long time were already demoralized and exhausted. The opponent's attack at this moment was undoubtedly a hit at the gate of life. A decisive blow. This is a plain terrain. For our army, it is simply put on the chopping block. Fish, as expected, in the white light formed by the plains in the distance, I saw countless flags like ghosts, and layers of black cavalry clusters like raised butcher knives, as if divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the horses' hooves rumbled like an avalanche.
