Realm of Power

The second wave of Erdian heavy infantry shouted "Kill!" and rushed towards the stone bridge. Spears were like a forest, and there were crowds of people. The shields in their hands were washed away by the rain, and they shone like layers of fish scales on the rushing Satsuma Ri River. . This time the Miao Erdians formed two strict square formations,

Tall infantry shields stood around the array, and dense spears popped out from the gaps between the shields, like a hedgehog with an exploding thorn moving slowly on the bridge.

"Damn! This damn rain!" Caesar Zoro's face was solemn, and his fingers clenched into fists, making a crunching sound. He had already received the report just now,

Due to heavy rain, moisture and other reasons, the guide strings of many Samorian heavy crossbow units have become loose and broken. This undoubtedly made the already unfavorable situation of the Samorian army even worse.

But they couldn't retreat because there was no way to retreat.

This is the last line of defense in the north of Fort Gerber. Once you cross it, you will find a plain area with no obstacles.

Fighting with the Miao Erdian cavalry on the plains is like hitting an egg against a stone.

The only thing Caesar Sauron can do is to defend the riverside and wait for reinforcements from the legion headquarters.

This time the Miao Erdians came with ferocity, and a large number of heavy cavalry rushed southward. The infantry that followed them broke through the three northern defense lines. The northern garrison was caught off guard and nearly 2,000 people were killed. The dangerous Yasen Corridor was lost.

Caesar Sauron made a cognitive mistake at the beginning of the war, believing that it was impossible for the Meldians to start a war with the Lods and Vecians at both ends when they were disadvantaged in going south.

And it's the rainy season now, and it's raining heavily. The land is muddy and difficult to walk on, which is the most unfavorable season for the movement of large cavalry units.

But the Miao Erdian people just played a big joke on him. When the real situation was confirmed, the main force of the Yin Erdian people had already pressed close to the last line of defense in the north, the Satsuma Rijiang Stone Bridge.

Two northern flag regiments resting in Tilburg were temporarily transferred up. The 12,000 Samor army became Djerpo's last resort.

"At all costs! Guard the bridge entrance!"

"Spear!" followed by a shout that echoed across the battlefield. In the Samor army, a five-meter horizontal spear radiating with cold light came from the middle of the queue, from the shoulders of the shield spearmen in front,

Rising from all the gaps that could be reached, densely packed spearheads formed a wall of countless sharp thorns.

"Assault!" shouted the Miao Erdian heavy infantry who rushed across the middle of the bridge. The heavy footsteps accelerated rapidly. The red eyes of both sides looked at each other. The heavy breathing seemed to be in their ears.

The Samor spearmen's eyes were red, knowing what they were about to face.

The enemy on the opposite side is obviously much more numerous than our own. As the contact force at the forefront of the military line, it must also be the most cruel.

If this war is won, among the thousands of elite spearmen in the entire brigade, not more than three figures will be able to stand up straight, but they have no choice.

In front of you is the Tatunk Stone Bridge, and behind you is the vast and fertile Djerbo plain.

If they fail, the entire plain will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of Myerdian's heavily armored knights, and their relatives, children, newly sown land and peaceful villages will all turn into howls of flames.

They have no way out! , life or death!

"Kill!" The spearmen in the first row near the bridge mouth screamed with all their strength, letting the fear in their hearts dissipate with the shout, and quickly stabbed the Yin Erdian people with the three-meter spears in their hands.

"Creak" a sound of metal colliding came from the opposite side. The Ruidian heavy infantry of the strongest military country was indeed not comparable to ordinary Vecian infantry. The spears that had always been unfavorable encountered a strong obstacle this time.

The thickened heavy armor forcibly deflected some of the spears from the side. A group of Miao Erdians in the front row were stabbed to the ground, but none of them suffered fatal injuries.

"Charge over!" A former Miao Erdian army commander held up a three-meter spear with a ferocious look in his hand. He didn't care about stepping over his own people and rushed towards the forward of the Samorian army. With the help of the Samoan army, He thrust out his spear and quickly rushed towards the Samor shield soldiers in the front row.

"Lock!" The weapon hit the shield with a metallic clang, and blood shot out from the gap between the shields at the front of Samor's column. The spears of both sides collided fiercely, even though they were protected by shields.

There were still a dozen Samorian spearmen who were stabbed in the chest by the Miao Erdian spears that penetrated through the gap.

"Beautiful!" Miu Erdian's frontline commander shouted happily. Miu Erdian had obviously won the collision just now, but he didn't see the cold eyes of the Samoor spearman on the opposite side. It was a look of death.

"Spear hook!" Captain Samor shouted immediately, and the five-meter horizontal spear stretched out from the gap in his hand turned into a ray of cold light, stretched strangely to the feet of the Yin Er Dian people, and drew an outline of a turn.

The Miao Erdian soldiers who were approaching had not yet reacted to their victory. They only felt a huge pain in their feet, and their bodies began to tilt unnaturally and fall, and their vision turned into blood red.

On the stone bridge, limbs flew across, and the unique cross-blade of the horizontal spear caused the Yin Erdian people to suffer a great loss. They all lay down in a large area, with bloody severed limbs, and the heart-rending screams of the wounded soldiers, The narrow intersection of Shiqiao was extremely tragic for a moment, and Miao Erdian's army formation, which was neat just now, was in chaos.

"Kill!" The Samor shield soldier rushed up to the stone bridge without hesitation with his machete in his hand. He swung his long knife and his head flew away. The Yin'erdian man who was still screaming miserably on the ground just now became a ghost under the knife in an instant. On the narrow stone bridge, the rainwater flowing down the bridge was dyed red.

"A bunch of rubbish!" Appleton's face was livid. He had filled in two heavy infantry teams, but the river mouth in front was still stable. Sa Jiang Xiaoyi was collecting the corpses and piled them up at the entrance of Shiqiao, covered in blood and flesh. one ,

Looking at the corpses of his companions scattered on the stone bridge that had been stormed all morning, there was a slight wavering in the Miao Erdian infantry queue.

The strength and tenacity of the Samorian army in front of them was beyond the imagination of the Myrdians. In their impression, such a tenacious fighting style was not at all like the Vigians, who were known for their cowardice.

"As a respectable opponent, now is the time to resolve all of this." Appleton looked slightly surprised. He solemnly faced the heavily armored knights behind him, raised the command sword in his hand, and said sternly, "The knights attack as a team." !”

Horse hooves rumbled, and Caesar Zoro saw two groups of heavily armored knights on the hillside beginning to move slowly towards the bridge entrance. The horses and knights were all wrapped in thick armor, and the sharp three-meter knight spears stood in a row. Although they were still far apart, The feeling of oppression that hits your face is still suffocating

"Finally here!" Caesar Zoro narrowed his eyes and clenched his fingers.

Now that the crossbow has basically lost its effectiveness, all hope can only be placed on the horizontal spears of the specialized Klee heavy armor troops. Caesar Sauron took a deep breath of the cold air, and as expected, ordered to the messenger behind him:

"Order the spearmen of the whole legion to move forward. Even if I am the only one left in the whole legion, I will never let the Miao Erdians step over the edge of the bridge."

The Samor captains have begun to straighten their horizontal spears. They are the last line of formation, ready to fill the gap in front. They are not only responsible for commanding the team to fight, but also responsible for supervising the battle team.

The soldiers flee and kill the captain, the captain flees, kill the flag captain, and the flag captain flees! Kill the leader of the army! This is the iron-blooded tradition of the Samor army,

The captains of the Samor Cross Spearmen had serious faces after receiving the order from the legion.

"Get it!" The heavy five-meter spearmen were neatly pulled up from the soil under their feet by the veterans. The poor condition of the crossbowmen around them could not be hidden from their eyes, but as the best heavy spearmen of the Northern Army,

The moment they heard the order, they still straightened their most beloved partners without hesitation. horizontal spear

They are located in the middle of the entire military formation. They are the veterans with the strongest combat capabilities and the most experience. As the legion's order to defend is given, they use their shoulders and shields to support each other, forming a solid skeleton.

This is the decisive battle formation of Samor's military formation, with veterans as the middle support. Even if the previous formation collapses, the veterans can use their strong shoulders and will to support the skeleton of the entire military formation.

Unless the captains of the last row fall, they will never take a step back even if they fight to the death.

"Tamp!" The horse hooves of the heavily armored knights of Jun'erdian stepped on the edge of the bridge. The three knight captains held flag guns and rushed to the front side by side. The heavy sound of the horse's hooves made the entire stone bridge tremble.

"Crash!" The thick war horses whizzed and crashed into the Samor army's spear array with lightning speed, making a dull impact, the shields shattered, and the wall of corpses could not stop the impact of the half-ton heavily armored knight.

"Stupid Vaegians, go to hell." The knight said with a ferocious smile, and without hesitation the spear in his hand plunged into the chest of the spearman with a look of astonishment on his face.

The strong impact caused the knight's spear to explode from the back of the spearman. The spearmen in the front row were all knocked away without exception. The dense second row of spearmen simultaneously penetrated the knight's armor. "Lock! The fine rebared steel heavy armor of the Lock Knight can easily deflect the horizontal spear, leaving only a few white spots on it.

"Stick the horse's legs!" The spearmen in the second row caught the knight and paused when he hit the wall of corpses. The horizontal spear in his hand hooked towards the lowest wrist of the knight's horse, which was the only part of the knight's horse that was not covered by heavy armor.

"Hiss!" The three war horses neighed in pain, and the knights and horses violently hit the piers on both sides of the bridge. "Bang!" The unprepared knights were thrown into the rolling river, and the heavy armor made them struggle. No chance, He grunted and said, "Good job." Caesar Zoro's heavy face relaxed slightly. Although the method of cutting the horse's hoof with a spear is not fair, it can be regarded as an opportunistic method under special circumstances.

"Bump" The knights in the second row ran into a dense wall of guns, the horses screamed and blood spattered

Several Samorian spearmen stabbed the spears from different angles. The strong knight's heavy armor also had weaknesses. On both sides of the ribs and at the joints, these parts were selected to ensure that the knight could still maintain good mobility during the battle. It is a relatively soft cotton gasket covered with a layer of mesh iron.

When the horizontal spear is pulled back, it is easy to catch these mesh parts. With the help of a few people, the knight can be easily pulled off the horse.

The horses neighed, and several knights were forcibly dragged off their horses by the spearmen. More and more knights rushed to the bridge. The large army of knights hit the spear array like a torrent of steel. For a time, the entire stone bridge was The people were on their backs and the horses were overturned, and the sound of killing was loud.

"Hold it! Hold it!" The two sides were already furious. The heavy knights and horses crashed in, knocking Samor's spearman away, and then he was dismounted by spears pierced from all directions. Blood spattered from the bodies of both sides. Shooting out, killing and being killed are just changes in the blink of an eye,

Ice-cold raindrops hit the bloodthirsty faces of the warriors on both sides, and the neighing of the war horses echoed through the stone bridge. Although the Samors were very tenacious, their horizontal spears were thrust out intensively. In the flash of cold light, knights kept falling from their horses.

However, the knights who kept coming were still like a thick steel blade, constantly pushing away the Samorian army, tearing it into pieces, and tearing the Moorish army's spear array into four pieces. On the narrow stone bridge, the knights relied on the height of their horses and waved in their hands. Armed with melee flails or heavy cones, below are the tenacious little Samor soldiers. Stab, the heavy war horses knocked the ten Samor soldiers to the ground. The Samor soldiers behind quickly and bravely gathered together. The knight's spear pierced their chests, and the bright red and hot blood was thrown down, but no one retreated. , just in exchange for the opportunity to slow down the war horse.

"Let's fight these Miao Erdian people!" A Samor crossbowman threw the heavy crossbow that was already loose and unusable into the rolling river, then picked up the dead spearman's spear from the ground and rushed forward without hesitation. As long as someone falls, new soldiers will immediately rush forward, grab the knight's legs and spears, and drag them off the horse. The broken spears and the corpses are piled up. April realizes that something is wrong. Suddenly, he quickly threw in two infantry teams again to rescue the remaining thirty knights from the siege of the Samors.

The rain was dripping, and Appleton's confident look just now was gone. The tenacity of Samor's army made this battlefield veteran feel palpitations.

Stabs with spears, bites with teeth, punches and kicks, Captain Samor seems to have turned his entire body into a murderous weapon.

The narrow stone bridge in front is like a monster, constantly devouring his own army. He has seen a breakthrough several times, but still failed to open up the situation. Only thirty-eight of a thousand heavily armored knights came back. Thinking of this, Appleton I feel heartbroken and unbearable, there are many knights from the April family!

The brutal battle lasted until night, and the exhausted Miao Erdian troops had to stop the offensive and rest. The sky was getting dark, and the heavy rain that had fallen all day gradually decreased. The Miao Erdian people, who had been attacking for a day, camped on the other side of the bridge. After a rest, the torches all over the sky are like stars in the sky, illuminating the black sky red.

In the night, an Yin Erdian knight walked into Caesar Sauron's camp with a deputy officer in his hand.

After reading the Miao Erdian letter sent from the Internet with a cold face, Caesar Sauron slapped it on the table with a "Pah!" and his face was livid and ugly. The two flag captains below looked at Caesar Sauron's ugly face and couldn't stop talking for a long time. Dare to gnaw,

The battle during the day caused considerable losses to both flag regiments. The Battle of Stone Bridge was the Northern Army's largest battle loss since its formation. Nearly 7,000 outstanding soldiers were left at the entrance of the bridge forever, their bodies Some floated away with the swollen river water, and some were messily intertwined with the enemy. The cold spring rain soaked them until they were swollen and turned white.

Both sides were exhausted from fighting. The heavily armed spearmen and spearmen troops had disappeared in groups. The remaining troops were also heavily wounded. It could almost be said that the Samorian Northern Army had been maimed by the Gangerdian people. , being able to persist here now is entirely due to the firm will to fight and the Samor military spirit that never gives up.

"Do you know! These Myridian people actually want us to surrender!" Caesar Sauron took a deep breath with a sad and angry face, and raised the confusing letter, "Bullshit, ***. Two flag captains When they heard that it was a letter urging surrender, they all cursed angrily, "If it hadn't rained heavily today and there had been a fight, I wouldn't know who would be afraid of whom! "

Caesar Zoro sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "Haha. The commander of the other side said arrogantly in the letter that he would give us one night to think about it. At noon tomorrow, no matter whether we are still willing to surrender, we will be trampled into pieces! It's a pity that I The two flag regiments are still on the Kyoto line, otherwise, I would really like to teach this guy who doesn’t know the heights of the world.”

Hearing Caesar Zoro mention the Kyoto Line, a flag commander timidly asked, "Sir, I wonder how long it will take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

"It has been six days since the letter asking for help was sent out." Caesar Zoro sighed. "Based on the time, Lord Sokuri should have received the letter! But it will take two days at the fastest to get here from Kyoto. I think we may not have it." Chances are, there will be no reinforcements! But I believe that the Governor will definitely help us take revenge!"

Caesar Sauron's words caused silence in the big tent,

"Report! Urgent news from the Legion Headquarters!" A dusty messenger ran in from the camp door covered in mud and water, holding high a red letter representing the Legion Headquarters.

The cover of the letter is engraved with this blooming thorn flower heraldry, which means it is a letter written by the fat man himself.

"Legion Headquarters! Your Lordship's letter." Caesar Zoro's expression was shocked, and his face showed a look of joy. He must have sent his letter for help to Kyoto.

Caesar Sauron quickly stood up, and without waiting for the messenger to stand up, he quickly stepped forward to take the letter. He couldn't wait to pick up the red thorn flower seal, and scanned ten lines with his eyes intently. His frowning eyebrows quickly relaxed.

After a long silence, Caesar Sauron suddenly turned around and ordered the two flag captains behind him, "Bring the entire army out of camp and retreat to the Aligo Forest!"

"Retreat". The two flag captains had ugly expressions on their faces, wondering whether they were hearing hallucinations or whether Caesar Sauron was crazy. Yaligo Forest is located ten miles behind the stone bridge. It is a relatively open hilly land, only about thirty meters high. There is absolutely no advantage that can be held on to.

Once the stone bridge is abandoned, all the northern barriers will be lost. Just relying on a small hill to hope that you can stop the Miao Erdians is no different from committing suicide.

"Execute the order!" Caesar Sauron raised the letter in his hand with a positive expression, indicating that he was not acting on impulse or in a moment of madness, and said sternly, "This is the Governor's secret order! The main force of the Legion Headquarters is rushing to the Yaligo Forest to join us. The Governor has ordered people there to prepare a great gift for the Inerdian people!"
