Realm of Power

Amidst a burst of cheers on the head of Azshara's city where the battle was raging, Feize's army retreated from the breach like a tide. The defenders on the city wall were already used to it. In the past three or four days, every time So, although it looks menacing, don't be frightened by the appearance of these Feize people. As long as you hold on for a while, these Feize people will withdraw on their own. Over the next few days, everyone has figured out this pattern.

"Back off, back off, you know these guys can't hold on for long!" Even Lytle's adjutant shouted excitedly from the side. Instead, Lytle was wearing a black general's armor and a ferocious horn helmet on his head. Well, looking at Fei Ze's army receding like a tide, there was no joy in the corners of his pursed lips, because Fei Ze's army was obviously not defeated and retreated, but it was a normal strategic maneuver.

After retreating, new troops will soon cover up. This has happened countless times.

Gan Kefu is indeed one of the most experienced commanding generals in the entire south. In his hands, a large group of 200,000 people not only did not appear chaotic, but even more orderly.

One team retreats, and the other advances forward at the same time. The alternation between the two phases is impeccable. If you try to send out cavalry to attack, the opponent's thousands of light cavalry who have been standing in the direction of the main formation will sweep over like razors. The cavalry entangles them, and the infantry that comes up will kill all the attacking troops!

This kind of commander who can command an army of more than 100,000 people and can move it as easily as his own arm has surpassed the level of ordinary famous generals. It is their specialty to gather troops, expand their advantages, and hit one point to tear the entire front apart. Gan Kefu has an astonishing awareness of the overall situation. Several times, he suddenly seizes a gap with superior force, and then fills in a large number of troops. If there is no rescue, he will have the momentum to swallow up the entire front.

After a few days, if it weren't for Lytle's tight pressure or the defensive line, it would have been torn apart by this back-and-forth tactic.

Logically speaking. As a defensive side with a solid city wall, it has a natural advantage. However, in front of veteran Gan Kefu, this advantage was not shown. On the contrary, it makes people feel like a flying insect that has fallen into a spider's web. Their hands and feet are gradually being trapped by countless lines. The too long Azshara defense line is tilting the balance of the battle towards Feize's army.

Azshara Fortress is strong enough, but because we don’t know which section the opponent will attack by force, we can only spread our troops evenly.

Even if Lytle had 70,000 to 80,000 men, he would still be at saturation at the beginning. After three or four days of confrontation, the troops who were not fighting were stuck on the city wall and could not move. The troops that withstood the fierce attack on the wall section were crippled and retreated. After reorganization, everyone was already exhausted when they moved up. Due to the consumption of troops, the situation of being stretched became more and more obvious.

Gan Kefu continuously mobilized his troops to attack a section of the city wall, targeting Lytle who was on the defensive side. Because he needed to defend all sections of the city, he could not mobilize many mobile troops, and the attack took several days. No matter how many reserves Lytle has in his hands, they will be almost exhausted. Once Lytle has no more troops to mobilize, Gankefu's true main force will be revealed. These 50,000 recharged heavy armored infantry, under the cover of 10,000 Fezer heavy archers, will transform into the sharpest spears of the Fezer army. They only need to penetrate a wall section, and then a large number of infantry will pour into the city. That's when. Even if the opponent is the God of War, he is unable to save the defeat.

The fierce battle continued into the afternoon. Gan Kefu finally saw that the troops on the city wall began to become vacant.

Raising his hand, "Woooo", the ferocious trombone sounded like a mountain pressing down on the heads of all the defenders. The defenders who had just taken a breath looked up and suddenly took a breath of air, looking as ferocious as ferocious beasts. Feizer's heavy armored corps finally launched. An attack line composed of 50,000 heavy armored infantry, and formations of about a thousand people in groups advanced slowly and neatly. The tower shield in his hand and the spear in his hand were neatly erected, covering the earth like a dense forest. The heavy armor on these Fezer heavy infantry covered two-thirds of the body, although it was not as heavy as the Empire. As thick as infantry, weak leather armor is attached to the joints of the arms, which can make these heavy infantry more flexible.

But what made the defenders' eyes feel bloodshot was not this, but the more than 10,000 Fezer shooters wearing mail who were following behind the thirty or so Fezer heavy infantry.

The decoration of these Feize archers is very distinctive. They wear feather hats on their heads, and the bows in their hands are as long as a person. When they are about a hundred meters away, they stop and stand up the huge war bows in their hands. The low end of the bow handle There is a sharp point inserted into the soil to form a fixed relay point. From a distance, it looks like it suddenly stood up on the ground. A densely packed long pole and a huge bow handle with more than 1.5 meters of bow strings were neatly opened with a command. To open such a huge bow, the necessary condition is that each archer must be taller than He is over 1.8 meters tall and has a strong body. This is the Feize people's famous heavy archer who specializes in breaking armor.

"Asshole, this is a real draw!" Lytle took a deep breath. As a southerner, he knew very well how terrifying the combat power of this heavy archer was. It was a powerful large composite war bow with a buffalo tendon winch. The bow string and the handle of the thicker wild buffalo horn are even more lethal. The range can reach 130 meters, which is far away. It exceeds the range of ten meters that is common for southern bows, and if equipped with a unique heavy arrow, it can easily penetrate heavy armored infantry at eighty meters, and even the armor of heavy armored cavalry can be penetrated at fifty meters. At twenty meters, any heavy armor is like a piece of broken paper. It is even possible to penetrate a fine iron shield with an arrow and shoot through the arm of the shield holder.

The only drawback is that this kind of killing weapon is obviously not something that ordinary people can use. The requirements for archers are very high. They not only need to be well-trained, but also need to have considerable physical strength. Once they are lost, it will be difficult to replace them. The war between the South and Feize , suffered heavy losses several times due to the participation of such heavy archers. In a famous battle sixty years ago, a certain actual The powerful southern country spent countless financial resources to accumulate 40,000 heavy infantry. They thought they could compete with Feize, who was expanding southward. In the end, they were all shot to death by these heavy archers within fifty meters in just one charge. In the end, the entire country With its military strength severely damaged, it was forced to become a vassal kingdom of Fezer. This country was the Kalisu Kingdom.

As a former Kalisu soldier, Lytle once spent three years trying to build a long-range force to fight against Fezer's heavy bow. As a result, he was defeated in the battle and was captured along with himself.

"preparation"

The archer on the top of the city was also nervous and turned blue. Although he had experienced several days of fighting, he had never seen such a battle. The hand holding the bow and arrow was trembling a little. After several days of fighting, he seemed to have formed a habit. Everyone is used to Fei Zejun dispatching more than 10,000 people every time, and then everyone only needs to hold on for a while to win. But this time, it is obviously different from before. The pressure has increased sharply, which is a psychological test for everyone.

"Asshole, why are there so many people!"

Most of these soldiers were recruited from slaves on the West Coast. Their combat experience and psychological quality were almost zero. The confrontation in the previous few days had just given them a little confidence. Who would have known that they would be confused by this huge gap? At a loss, Feize's army of 200,000 men pressed down on a quarter of their strength, and saw The huge cluster that covered the plain in front was suddenly missing a big horn. Countless infantry rifles, shields, and double-headed eagle flags flying like the ocean came over like a tide. The shock was even to those who had experienced many wars. Veterans' palms are sweaty, let alone them. It's already good that they didn't collapse and run away.

"Stay steady, don't mess up!" Various shouts came and went on the city wall.

"Oh my god, there are so many enemies, how can we fight them!"

Feizer's heavy infantry is getting closer and closer, 100 meters, 50 meters, there are so many people and the momentum is so strong, it feels like the entire earth is being submerged right in front of you.

"Stop them!" The archers on the city wall released their bowstrings before waiting for the order. Arrows flashing with cold light drew countless rapid white light shadows in the air and covered them downwards. "Vertical Shield" Feize The uniform shouts from the army below, the formation of wild geese The same shield was raised fiercely, covering the top of the head, leaving no gaps. This time, the real attacking troops came up, and their movements were neat. Occasionally, someone fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and the people next to him would quickly go around and shoot from Shang Min. The falling arrow clusters hit the walls like heavy rain,

Dang! Dang! Crotch!

The arrow clusters were knocked away by the shield and scattered, completely unable to stop them. The shooter above was stunned.

The empire assigned them only the southern bows captured during the Civil War. Their shooting power was very weak, and their ability to penetrate really heavy armor was very limited. It was not that the fat man was stingy, but it was obvious that a lethal weapon like the imperial crossbow should be assigned to this kind of troops. It's impossible. It was originally thrown out as bait. Naturally, it would not be the empire's top combat equipment.

"The other party is serious, everyone, please pay attention."

Seeing that the archers were ineffective, tens of thousands of melee spearmen in heavy armor began to push up the front line of the city wall, as if they had finally waited for the prey to appear. "Shoot!" This time, the one who shouted was Feize's heavy archers from below the city. I heard a sound like heavy rain hitting the ground, and a large swath of cold light rose like a meteor rising from the horizon, like a huge sweeping scythe, fiercely cutting through the heavy armor arrayed on the city head. On the spearman, poof! , countless bloody water squeezed out from the front of the arrow and exploded. Red human blood and countless spearmen pierced by the arrow fell from above like raindrops. On the fifth day, just as Fatty expected, Lytle's troops began to fight. huge losses after
