Realm of Power

647 Reinforcements in the East Courtyard (1)

In the city of Rebogen in the northeast of the three northern counties, the sky is a bit gloomy, the sun's brilliance is obscured by clouds, the dark green leaves are floating in the cool wind, and the slight heat blowing on the face clearly tells everyone that summer is coming. Got it

Duke Haller stared deeply at the military camp on the hill in the distance. The simple barracks and rows of weapons could not hide the figures of the new recruits. The rapid and sharp whistles constantly broke the short-term tranquility. Then came a wave of shouts that seemed to resound through the sky.

As the shouts get closer and louder, it seems like countless giants are beating the war drums of the earth. The entire hill seems to be shaking. The Ruidian flag fluttering in the wind is like a ball of flames. Under the reflection of the wilderness approaching summer, a layer of light golden yellow is spread on the ground.

This is the New Northern Army under the command of the Duke of Halle. After three months of military expansion, the Duke of Halle, who has been given high hopes by His Majesty the King, is worthy of being a courageous veteran. Through a series of forcible killings and confiscated estates, The method of kidnapping wage farmers is to pull out an army of 20,000 people in the three northern counties with a population of only 200,000.

On top of Rebogen City, except for Duke Haller, several Generals Ruidian were very satisfied with the scene in front of them. With knowing smiles on their faces, they seemed to have seen the news of reviving the Northern Army.

The newly appointed leader of the Fourth Knights of the North, Balthazar, and the Fifth Knights, Toshonov, appear even more smug and complacent, with a vague feeling of being superior to everyone else. However, the two of them had a deep look on their face, as if they were indifferent to everything they saw, as if this was just the most ordinary scene.

Since Tvarin's war report had just been delivered to Duke Haller, the sudden attack of the Vecian army made the old Duke, who had experienced many battles, a premonition that a storm was coming here.

On the gently rolling fields north of Rebogen, a thin black line appeared at noon.

This thin black line is getting bigger and wider. Among this group of people, the three-star flag of the Kugits is waving in the wind. They are surging in like waves in a tropical storm, and like a dam bursting. It swept over like a flood, and everything it passed was submerged by the black earth. Gives people a great sense of spiritual shock.

Crashing... crashing... "Countless continuous and exciting sounds, as the black line came from the distance, the whole earth seemed to be torn apart.

Countless black shadows suddenly appeared in an instant, filling the entire earth without a single gap. The wind and clouds between the sky and the earth changed color. Even the sun that had just emerged was covered by black flags, and no sunlight could be seen anymore.

Countless flying horse hooves trampled across the grass, bringing up sand spirit stones and withered weeds. Wrapping them into a tornado-like team, they rushed back and forth among the dense hooves of horses until they were completely crushed and disappeared into the fierce cold wind.

This is a densely packed cavalry, an overwhelming number of cavalry appeared crowded on this fertile land, the war horses are almost connected by their hoofs.

Because there were too many people, they had to maintain an astonishing forward speed. If someone fell down in the middle, he would be crushed to pieces immediately and completely melt into the ground without leaving any trace.

The tall horses did not care about the existence of weeds and sand spirit stones. They spread their hooves as fast as possible and galloped freely on the thin soil. The earth was shattered under the splash of the horses' hooves, or After being stepped deeply into the earth, occasionally one or two pieces of slightly thicker mud would be carried flying by the horses' hooves, emitting a dazzling light under the eyes.

Rolling torrent, knight on horseback, wearing thin armor. Carrying a bow and arrow on his back, he bent down and clung to his horse's back, clamped the horse's belly firmly with his feet, and increased the speed of the horse under his crotch to the limit, crossing this vast and desolate land like a sharp arrow. There are no abundant aquatic plants or abundant prey. It is not worthy of their nostalgia and slowing down. In the distance of their sight, it is the city of Rebogen that is the target this time.

"It came so fast." Duke Haller's face was very calm, and he just snorted lowly in his nostrils, full of jealousy. If in the heyday of Ruidian, such a cavalry regiment could also be produced. But now, I can only look at it with envy. How great would it be if I had such a cavalry?

The gray and dark sky seemed to be condensed with the Kugit archers. The air seemed very heavy and breathing was very difficult.

Many Ruidian people can feel the rapid beating in their hearts. The boundless tension is on this land from all directions in the west, covering everything silently, no matter from any angle. go out,

The rapid trombone sound representing war became more and more intensive. The Ruidian recruits outside the city were running in panic. Amid the angry shouts of the squad leader, they formed a twisted formation of spears and used their sharp spears to set up a dense forest of spears on the wall of Rebogen. ,

The sound of "creeping" intensive bow strings was filled with murderous intent. The archers relying on the battlements opened the tight bow strings in their hands and closely monitored every move of the Kugit archers below, ready to attack anyone at any time. Trying to get closer to the city wall to attack head-on

"Good guy, I'm afraid there are more than 20,000 cavalry." The dense queue of Kujit people below made the Ruidian people on the city wall secretly smack their lips.

"The black-armored archers of the East Kugits" Some experienced old knights among the Rieldian knights exclaimed. These troops, which are ranked as the ace cavalry of the continent together with the royal cavalry of the West Kugits, have always been the cavalry directly under the King of Dongting, with a number of about 40,000. It was this devil-like cavalry that wiped out the Rieldian defenders in the Aichemor area and swept through the northern defense line of Rieldian like a whirlwind.

Fine iron mail armor, strong bows in hand, although they sacrificed strong mobility, they gained strong long-range attack capabilities. In order to deal with the armored archers of the East Court, the Rieldians who once wanted to dominate the north also made special research,

Understanding the past of the armored archers, the armored archers are a branch of the Kugit heavy cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, especially the armored archers of the East Court, which almost traverse the entire northeast of the continent without any rivals. Even the Dorok mountain people, who are known for their tenacity and toughness, dare not provoke this heavy cavalry that is like a mobile archery machine.

Since the era of the successive Khergit kings, the archery tactics have shown great power. Although there were few specialized armored archers at that time, they have already made their mark in battles. With the expansion of land and the battles against heavy-armored armies such as the Rieldian, they have grown rapidly.

Many Khergit tribes have trained their own armored archers, and with the evolution of time, they have divided them into hurricane cavalry for light-armored archers and black-armored archers for heavy-armored archers. Due to many subjective and considerable reasons, the effects of many armored archers are not satisfactory, but at least every force has been attracted and intoxicated by the combat effectiveness of armored archers, and is willing to spend countless funds and energy for armored archers.

As the Kugits split into the East and West, the West Kugits had large grasslands but lacked iron ore to forge weapons and heavy armor, while the East Kugits had more than a dozen large iron mines but lacked enough war horses. This led to the formation of the Royal Court Cavalry, which was completely focused on mobility and surprise attack capabilities, and the Black Armored Archers, which were small in number but well-trained. The West Royal Court needed 200,000 people to resist the invasion of 100,000 Rieldian troops, while the East Court people almost forced Rieldian into a desperate situation with only 60,000 troops. ,

This shows the difference in strategic policies between the East and West Courts. One is fighting a people's war, while the other is taking the route of elite soldiers. This kind of black-armored archers is the top of the elite cavalry.

At the beginning of the year, in the largest battle of the Kayan River in northern Rieldian, about 30,000 black-armored archers almost defeated the Rieldian defense army, which was twice the number of waves, and dyed the entire Kayan River red. The blood-red Kayan River water flowed into the soil along the way, turning the entire earth into a light red, which looked particularly gorgeous.

Duke Haller was also a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the East Court Cavalry. The intelligence he received was that the Vigia army raided Tvarin, and because of the long distance of Rebogen City, it was already two days later when he received the news. For Tvarin's letter for help, the always mature and prudent Duke Haller had no intention of sending troops to rescue.

The Vigia army has always been aggressive. According to Tvarin's tenacity, three days is the limit. From the time calculation, even if he sent reinforcements from Rebogen, it would take three days to reach Tvarin. Not only could he not rescue Tvarin, but he also gave the Vigia people a big meal in vain.

Duke Haller believed that at some point, necessary sacrifices were inevitable. Instead of sending troops to rescue Tvarin, it was better to stick to the spot. The distance here was The front line of Retwak where the Dongting people fought fiercely was only three days away. There were 40,000 troops stationed in Kyoto. As long as they held on to Rebogen, reinforcements would continue to arrive.

"Is this Rebogen leading to the three northern counties?"

In the Dongting cavalry queue under the city wall, there was also a serious-looking young general who was looking at the small fortress in front of him with bright eyes. His name was Haiglu, the prince of Kugit Dongting, and he was famous for his bravery and fearlessness in the Dongting grassland. The fortress in front of him seemed a little dilapidated. Haiglu believed that as long as the black-armored archers

Looking at the cowardly Rieldians who only dared to hide in the city, he slowly raised his right hand and made a grabbing gesture,

Then he extended his thumb and pressed it down suddenly

'Attack the city'...
