Realm of Power

In the white rain and fog in the dark night, no one noticed the sharp long swords of the Biang cavalry behind their backs. The ground shook and mud and water splashed. A Rilla soldier was surprised to feel the ground shaking. He turned his head and looked behind, and there was a bright light. The river suddenly appeared in his eyes. Killing, the Bion cavalry who drew out their long swords slammed into the tail of the Rila army at high speed. The snow-white cavalry scimitars finally melted in the eyes of the Rila soldiers. as a point of light

"Pfft" the sound of the sharp blade cutting, the body flew up heavily, the war horse rushed over crazily, and exploded as blood spurted out. The headless body had not yet fallen to the ground, and was knocked away by the charging horse again. Although there were hills in front of the Sun Fortress It is a gravel area, but the ups and downs are not large. As a cavalry stationed full-time at the Sun Fortress, These 1,500 Biang cavalry are very familiar with the environment in front of the Sun Fortress. Even in the dark night filled with heavy rain, the Rilla army is different. They just fought fiercely in front and naturally relaxed when they retreated. , who would have thought that the Biang people would have such courage and dare to fight out of the Sun Fortress?

"Asshole, is the other person crazy?"

The Rila people did not expect that the Biang people would rush out from the Sun Fortress. The retreating troops were suddenly like a shining sharp line cutting through the flesh and blood. The war horses rushed in one by one, waving and shining. There was a sound of fighting, and people were rolling around under the horses. The location of the attack of 1,500 Biang cavalry happened to be in Riladi. At the gap between the Ninth Army and the Twelfth Army, the first to rush into the crowd were only the fifty cavalry at the front. For the retreat of a hundred thousand Riela army, the position under attack could only be regarded as an insignificant one. It's just a small shop, but its intensity is no less powerful than the iron awl piercing the bones of the huge mask.

Bang bang bang, the Rila people didn't even have time to react. The Biang cavalry rushed into the hundreds of cavalry. The Rila soldiers around them still looked at a loss. There was already a scene of blood and flesh flying in front of them, and they screamed. Before he even had time to shout, his body had been lifted off by the huge impact. Where he landed, more cavalry surged past, and his body was trampled directly. Turned into flesh, in the dark night, even if they were attacked, they would not be able to reach the surrounding troops for a while, let alone the 1,500 Biang cavalry. Although the armor on their bodies was yellow, the cavalry Wrap your cloak tightly around your body. These cloaks are made of soft and warm materials. Once they get wet from the rain, they will feel like they are stuck to your back.

You must know that the cavalry is a highly mobile unit. It is normal for the cavalry to eat and sleep in the wild. It is not surprising to even rest in the open air. The cavalry's cavalry cape, which looks as gorgeous as a turkey, has no use in front of the infantry except for looking cool. It is extremely important for cavalry to rest in the field. It is not only a heavy cloak, but also It is the clothing and quilt used by the cavalry when they are resting in the field. At this moment, the Bion cavalry has developed another function, that is, the wet cavalry cloak can also block the cold light of the armor at night. The Bion cavalry pressed the cloak in front, completely The cold light of the armor was blocked. In order to be secretive, he even drew his sword when he was fifty meters away.

According to the high speed of the war horse, fifty meters is a short period of five or six seconds. In such a short period of time, even if the enemy discovers it, it is already too late. "Asshole, what is going on!"

"I don't know, this is simply inexplicable, why did everything go wrong..."

"Attention, it's the Biang cavalry! The Biang people are coming out!" The severed limbs and arms mixed with blood were thrown on the face. The smell of blood in the nose rushed straight to the mind, and the cold light of the cavalry's spear was rapidly in the pupil. Expanding, the body was provoked in front of the masses of cavalry and horses. Under the hoofs of the horses, the head rolled, and the impact of the thunder was like a flood. The person was trampled and staggered, and he was as tall as a ferocious beast. , weighing more than half a ton, and his speed was as fast as lightning. Hearing the shrill shouts, the nearby Rilla soldiers could clearly see that the armor of the cavalry that came in was different from their own. Looking at the crazy slashing sword light, Everyone was stunned. The shouts seemed more distant, filled with unwillingness and anger, and the wind that swept across the plain seemed to become more violent at this moment! Because it was dark night, King Owit of Rilla frowned after receiving the report. The surprise attack was too sudden. He was still the fastest cavalry. Who knew if there were other Bion troops hiding behind?

"Your Majesty, our army is under attack!"

"Attack?" Owitt's face was stunned. Faced with the active assault of the Biang cavalry, King Owitt of Rilla immediately stared, but he was confused in his heart. What did the other party want to do, whether it was from a logical or military point of view? The other party is playing with fire when they say they are releasing their precious cavalry power at this time. If they are not careful, these Biang cavalry who launch the charge will be doomed!

The cavalry relies on sudden and powerful impact. The cavalry itself has a huge advantage. This advantage is the cavalry horse. In addition to the speed of the horse, what makes the enemy most frightened is the impact of the horse. In this era, the vast majority of war horses weighed more than 600 kilograms, more than half a ton. Even the heavy armored infantry cannot carry the weight. If it is the sturdy Nordic Baroma species, the weight can reach 1,100 kilograms. The heavy armored cavalry used by the empire to make all countries feared This is a war horse that, although not fast enough, can carry far more weight than other horse breeds!

Therefore, it is absolutely correct to say that the war horse is the second life of the cavalry. The life and death of the cavalry are often connected with the war horse. A good war horse can greatly improve the cavalry's combat effectiveness, but the war horse is also the most obvious shortcoming of the cavalry. War horses will also get tired, bleed, be injured, and be killed. Once a cavalryman falls off his horse, his combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of an ordinary infantryman. Once he is trapped, he will be waiting for death.

"Pass the order, all armies should not disorder their positions. It is impossible for the Biang people to send out large-scale cavalry groups. All armies can just form spear formations to meet the enemy!"

At the critical moment, the demeanor displayed by King Owitt of Rila was definitely that of a hero. He grunted with a gloomy face, which calmed the chaotic morale of the army. The generals of each army also agreed with what the king said, Bion. We are not a country with many cavalry, and the Kingdom of Biang, which starved to death of more than 200,000 people last winter, is even less likely to raise so many war horses. Therefore, these attacking Biang cavalry can only be a small force, which is not the same as the empire. The kind that has tens of thousands of cavalry at every turn The difference between the black tide-like scene is huge. Although I don’t know how many troops the other side has sent, it will definitely not be more than my own. When the situation is unclear, His Majesty Owitt’s just wait and see what happens. The enemy As long as the cavalry doesn't charge here, everyone just needs to hold their ground and wait until the opponent's cavalry is exhausted, waiting for death. How could the Lion of Rila, who was not even afraid of the Hungarian cavalry, be afraid of the Biangs? A half-baked cavalry raid!

Staring at the noisy sound of sword fighting in front, the Biang cavalry actually penetrated the first floor. Suhamliu, the commander of Ruila's third army, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and ordered.

"Stand firm, all guns blazing"

At this moment, the elite level of Ruila's army was also reflected. Regardless of whether they had encountered it or not, they were almost all executing an order. More than tens of thousands of spearmen quickly formed a gun formation, and the first row squatted. down, the spear in his hand pointed upwards, the second group of soldiers' spears were placed on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, and the third group of soldiers' spears were placed on the shoulders of the soldiers. On the shoulders of the soldiers in the second row, everyone's eyes were fixed on the light and shadow of the chaos ahead. The Rila people's gun array had suffered losses for the Hungarians more than two hundred years ago. Being regarded as a necessary training subject by the Ruila military, the war horse crashed into the spear array, the spear was broken, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even the momentum of the impact was unable to continue forward.

"My lord, we can't delay any longer. Please ask the cavalry to come back immediately!"

"They only have 1,500 people, while the Ruila people have an army of 100,000. Once the Ruila people surround them, they will definitely die. We must withdraw them immediately before the Ruila people figure it out!" Sun Fortress On the other hand, Marquis Ankexi pressed his hands on the city wall, his eyes were bloodshot. , he kept cheering himself up in his heart, and insisted a little longer, and held on a little longer. If he didn't give King Ruila a hard stimulus, it would be impossible to drag the main force of Ruila Army under the Sun Fortress for five days. Five days would be impossible. Oh my god, this is only the first day, and I already need to use such dangerous tactics.

What about the next four days?

Marquis Ankexi felt that his head was about to explode. He could no longer control so much. His mind was filled with the contents of the order. In five days, His Majesty the King would visit the Sun Fortress in person. Five days later, he, Ankexi, Marquis Xi, the commander of the Sun Fortress, will be appointed as the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Affairs of King Biang and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Such a temptation has to make An Kexi fight to the death. At this moment, The entire Sun Fortress has become Ankexi's bargaining chip! If the cavalry really can't come back, then they will die there! Look at the appearance of the Ruila Army facing a formidable enemy. Once the arrogant Ruila people find out that what makes their 100,000-strong army fly is only a mere 1,500 cavalry, I am afraid they will go crazy. !

Because they concentrated their strength at one point, the scope of chaos caused by Bion's cavalry was not large. When Owitt ordered everyone to set up a spear array, the chaos was basically stopped. Facing countless towering spears, Bion's cavalry The cavalry horses also began to turn and dodge. Some keen generals of Rilla have already discovered the problem. The number of Biang cavalry in front of them is definitely not that large. If it can exceed two thousand, it will be as high as the sky. When they find that they are actually frightened by a mere two thousand Biang cavalry, they are almost thrown into chaos. Formation, everyone in Ruila Army couldn't help but blush.

"Surround them up and don't let them escape."

"Block them, order the east side to block them!"

"Your Majesty, please let us attack!" A young attendant in red armor stood up from behind Owitt. The huge advantage in numbers gave the Rila people great confidence. Countless Rila infantrymen rushed in like crazy. Looking here, red eyes are no longer enough to describe the ferocious expressions of these Rila soldiers.

"Go!" Owitt glanced at the young attendant's face, but an unknown sadness rose in his heart. He nodded. Just two years ago, the fathers and brothers of these young people were still under his command. Two years later, a group of people who had supported Ruila’s rise for decades Every military family withered more than half at once. The eldest son of the family leader was killed in many cases. These military families could only use their second sons or further descendants to participate in this battle, because they were wearing red armor that represented the royal guards. Also known as the Rila Red Guards by the outside world

Currently, Rila's army is mainly composed of veterans who have actually experienced several wars, or veterans with seven or eight years of combat experience. They have experienced Rila's magnificent heyday, and have also experienced the death of a third of Rila. The madness of male Hungarian rebellion. They fought hard all the way and broke through the Biang defense line in two days. These veterans constituted the top of the battle. Compared with these veterans,

There are also some units that were newly recruited by the royal family after the Hungarian Rebellion. Among them, the Rila Red Guards, who stand side by side with the Youth Army, have also become famous in the past two years. They have only grown up and entered the Rila Army in the past few years. New generation. As they grew up, they were accompanied by the great achievements of their fathers and brothers. They were nurtured since childhood. What they wanted in their hearts was to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and brothers and win greater glory. If the veterans were the backbone that supported Rila's persistence, then these young Red Guards were Ruila's future, Ruila doesn't have much time for these young people to grow up. She can only mature them in the war.

A Hungarian rebellion not only harmed the Rila Kingdom's population and economy, but also caused collective damage to the Rila people. Those once proud, confident, and fearless Rila officers faced the Hungarian Most of the human cavalry chose to stay and fight to the death, using their lives to maintain the pride of Ruila soldiers, but The losses were also heavy. Almost a generation was filled in. Soldiers could be recruited if they were lost, and farmland could be re-cultivated if they were lost. The losses of these military families that had been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years were the losses of Ruila. The place with the heaviest losses, the pride of the Ruela Kingdom, was originally beaten down by soldiers with iron and blood.

The Empire already had opinions on Rilla. Even when the Beorns ambush Rilla's youth army, outsiders speculated that the Empire was involved. However, the Beorns bit him to death and refused to admit it. In fact, they knew that the Empire was suppressing it at Castle Rock. After the rebellion directed by himself, Owitt had already had a premonition that the empire would no longer provide any convenience to the Kingdom of Rila. If it were said that during the Hungarian Rebellion, the empire took advantage of the opportunity to help the Kingdom of Rila and conquered the Barrow region of Central Europe. control The power was in its hands. During that period, it could be regarded as the honeymoon period between the two countries. The Kingdom of Rila took advantage of this convenience and received a lot of benefits from the empire, but the empire also prevented the other countries from liquidating Hungary. , and accepted the Kingdom of Hungary as a royal vassal, completely ignoring the irresolvable hatred between the Rila people and the Huns. In fact, it was telling the entire Central European Barro that the empire needed a balanced Central European Barro and would not allow any party to do so. look up

In fact, the Empire was much better to Hungary than Rilla. The Hungarians received a large amount of free material help from the Empire and got a breather. Although they were no longer as strong as before, they preserved the foundation of the country. The Empire There were few strings attached to the administration of Hungary, although Hungary was derided as the empire's watchdog. , but no country dares to despise the existence of Hungary. Even in terms of the national status of the entire Europe, Hungary, as the imperial watchdog, has long surpassed any country in Central Europe in terms of reputation. In a great war between the North and the South, 50,000 Hungarian cavalry sent a broken Hungarian into the ranks of the second-rate powers in the mainland.

Let’s look at the Kingdom of Rila again. When it was at its peak, it was only a second-rate power. After the Hungarian Rebellion, the Kingdom of Rila became even worse. It has fallen into a third-rate country. Compared with Hungary, which has independent financial and military power. , the Kingdom of Rila's finances and taxes have been mortgaged for fifty years, its military strength has been reduced by half, its economy is completely bankrupt, and its fiscal deficit has been used for ten years. How can Rila like this compare with Hungary, which is showing a prosperous atmosphere! From the Hungarians, Owitt finally understood something. There was no shame in being a chess piece of the empire, but there was a huge gap between a chess piece that was valuable and a chess piece that was not.

Rila must make herself a valuable chess piece! Taking over the Land of Three Rivers is already the last hope for the Kingdom of Rila. To truly control the Land of Three Rivers, you must capture the Sun Fortress, otherwise everything will be in vain. This is an inevitable knot, and this is a huge gamble. , it’s just that Owitt used himself and the entire Rila Kingdom as a bargaining chip to bet on The empire will never allow another Obaro leader to appear. The bet is that the empire does not want to see the Sun Fortress in the hands of the Biang people, because as long as the Biang people control the Sun Fortress, the Biang people may truly succumb to the rule of the empire. Next, Owitt believes that the emperor knows this well!

Therefore, the best candidate to control the Sun Fortress should be himself, the Kingdom of Rila!
