Baozi sincerely thanks: Brat and silly girl rewarded 1764 coins; birdg rewarded 100 coins;

North of Dorok, bo Sly City

This small city located in the densest mountainous area in the north of Dorok is very unique. 3∴35686688 is surrounded by majestic mountains with fallen leaves. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the land is sometimes higher and sometimes lower, and all you can see is a vast expanse of white. fog, high mountains and dense forests , the road is difficult to pass, and the red limestone exposed on the ground constitutes a very unique appearance of the entire Boslay city. It can be seen from a long distance, but without the guidance of an expert, the undulating mountains will make most people confused. The first human journey into the mountains

The 20,000 troops of the Bourne tribe, the second largest tribe in the north of Dorok, have gathered here, preparing to resist the attack from the Falcon King's army based on the mountain terrain. Everyone knows that the Falcon army's offensive ability is the best in the mainland, despite the mountain formation. The Bernese people do not dare to take their natural advantages lightly. Countless small wooden sentry towers form a solid line of defense on the top of the mountain, like a row of giants standing on the top of the mountain.

Burnslan, the leader of the Bernese tribe, and several leaders of the tribe are also gathered here at this moment, discussing what should be done. The atmosphere in the room seemed quite gloomy from the beginning.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Burnsland glanced anxiously, and several leaders lowered their heads. The news that the Vekia Falcon War Flag appeared in Airei City was like an earthquake, completely The Dorok Parliamentary army outside the city of Airey was exposed, because the appearance of the Vekia Falcon meant that the main force of the Falcon Dynasty had probably entered the Dorok Mountains.

The war surrounding Airey has turned into a war between the Doroks and the Falcon Dynasty, the most powerful kingdom on the continent. For the Doroks, whose total strength is only 120,000, it is simply a war. Unexpected disaster,

It is said that on the day the Falcon War Flag appeared in Airlay, the more than 60,000 Rock coalition forces outside Airlay City were quarreling over whether to withdraw immediately. Now that the coalition forces are unable to protect themselves, there is still strength to rescue them. I, compared to the unstoppable advance and retreat of the coalition forces, the situation of the Bern clan can be said to be on the verge of annihilation.

In front of the tribe, there are 30,000 elites from the most powerful kingdom in the mainland. Like a guillotine that may fall at any time, the limited troops of the Bern tribe are completely nailed to the defense line of the Boslai Mountains. To the west of the tribe, feuding barks The Tuo people's army is approaching the center of the territory aggressively. If they had not been unable to retreat, the Bern tribe might have chosen to move to the mountains and fight on two fronts. This is not something that a second-rate tribe like the Bern tribe can undertake. ,

"Sir, we should evacuate immediately! Otherwise, our Bern tribe will completely disappear from the Dorok Mountains!" A tribe leader said, his tone seemed very pessimistic. Just now, he was due to go to the Dorok Mountains with several other leaders. There was a heated argument over the issue of staying, and the table was slammed because of it.

"Who doesn't want to evacuate? The question is where to evacuate?" Another tall leader said coldly. Each of his words must be drawn out very long. It seems that only in this way will others care about his identity.

However, at this critical moment, who would care about his identity? The 30,000-strong army of the Falcon Dynasty is less than ten kilometers away from them on the mountain road. They have been mobilizing troops recently and may break through the defense line at any time. Where to go at this time, everyone here needs to be able to make a decision as soon as possible.

Evacuation is of course the most ideal place, but in which direction should we evacuate? Burnsland slapped his palm heavily on the table, pointing to the map on his finger and saying, "To the east, is the grassland of the Dongting people. Although we had a good relationship with the Dongting people in the past, now there is a war there. Xiku Gith cavalry has cut off the road to the east,

To the north are the frozen mountains with extremely cold temperatures. Without any preparation, it would be difficult for our people to survive this cruel winter. .

As for the help from the parliament, it is simply impossible to rely on a temporarily formed army to fight against the main force commanded by Vecia Falcon himself. Even the Ruidian people, the former overlords of the mainland, did not dare to fight the Falcon Dynasty army in the mountains. Even the powerful Redian people were defeated and annihilated. What kind of thing is the Dorok Council?

To the west is the area controlled by the Vedic people. They have built a solid blockade on the border, using the canyons and mountains as support points. They may appear behind us at any time. After thinking about it, we have no choice but to go south. 4∴8065

"Xiang Nan?" Several tribal leaders looked strange, Xiang Nan, yes. The determined look on Burnsland's face showed that the leaders had heard correctly. That was the only way out for the Burns now. But the south is also the blockade of the Falcon Dynasty,

Are we going to forcefully attack the Falcon Dynasty's blockade? Thinking about the long-range attack capabilities of the Falcon Dynasty Army, which shocked the continent, this bold idea seemed like a suicide. No one dared to take a stand. This time, the fate of more than 100,000 people of the Bern tribe was at stake.

Burnsland smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger to draw a narrow exit on the map, and explained, "Due to time constraints, the Falcon Dynasty Army has not yet had time. There are enough strict defenses in the southern part of the mountain range." Blockade. As long as we act in time, the Bern tribe may still be able to break out of the siege.

Of course, there is certainty on this road, everything depends on luck. If we are lucky, we can pass through the forest area, cross the Husa Mountain Pass and enter the scope of the Dorok Council, rush out of this flanked Jedi, and wait for the opportunity to regain our strength.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" The faces of several tribal leaders were filled with joy. Burnsland's words undoubtedly solved the current big problem.

But Burnsland's face was not at all relaxed. Instead, his voice paused and he said solemnly, "Have you ever thought that the biggest problem in breaking out to the south is not the encounter with the Falcon Army, but the loss of territory and personnel?" , will we still be welcomed by the Dorok Council?

The Bourne clan has no power of self-protection. Are you still qualified to enter the Dorok Council? The answer is obvious. Without the territory and army, our Bern tribe will be divided internally and will be quickly annexed by the various tribes in the south. Even if the Dorok Council comes forward, it cannot stop this situation. In the final analysis, the Dorok Parliament After all, Rock is still a social system where the jungle prevails. No one will watch the big cake of more than 100,000 people without being indifferent. Those guys who sing high-pitched words are just waiting for us to pass! "

The laughter of several tribal leaders stopped suddenly, and the smiles froze on their faces in an instant. Burnsland's words were tantamount to giving them hope, and then they fell heavily to the bottom of despair.

"This won't work, that won't work either. Are we just waiting to die like this? No matter what decision I make, I can't stay here! You won't leave! I'll take my own people and leave!" A grumpy leader Finally, he couldn't help but stand up, and impatiently threw his chair down on it.

"Burn Dunsu, impulsiveness cannot solve the problem! The flying mountain eagle must also see clearly ahead, so as not to hit the mountain top in the fog." Burnsland quickly stood up to stop him. This Burn Dunsu is His nephew is also the leader of a large branch of the tribe. There are more than 30,000 tribesmen below, ranking second among the Burn tribe, second only to the Burnsland tribe.

Bourne Dunsu pushed away the blocking hand in front of him, walked to the door, turned around, glanced at the people who had not yet reacted, and said sternly, "The Falcon Army will form an encirclement situation soon, you are still here." Dilly-dallying, still looking forward and backward, still thinking about the layout, How can we have a chance to make a comeback? It's really a fantasy, regardless of the reality. What is needed most is to make an immediate decision, rather than discuss it. Since there is no way to survive, it is better to fight hard! If you are all afraid, then let our warriors fight in the south! A bloody road!"

After saying this, Burnsland hurried away. The other leaders looked at each other silently. They felt that what Burnsland said was reasonable. They all felt that Burnsland was too old. His original courage and decisiveness , has been worn away by the years, and now is no different from a conservative old man,

Seeing the tribal leaders leaving one after another, Burnsland opened his mouth, but in the end he did not speak.

"Sir, should we go back immediately to gather the clan members?"

Several tribesmen around him asked uneasily. Ever since the Falcon Dynasty army cut off contact with the parliament, two factions have appeared in the Burn tribe. One is the stubborn faction headed by Burnsland. They believe that as long as they can hold on, can survive this crisis,

The other faction is the new faction like Burnsland who just left. Most of them are young and energetic young people. They are dissatisfied with Burnsland's rigid defensive tactics and advocate that they should take the initiative to seek combat opportunities. However, because Burns Lan's suppression has never been dominant.

However, as the war situation becomes more and more unfavorable for the defensive tactics, many people who originally stood on the defensive side have turned to the new faction who want to take the initiative. This is what the mature and steady Burnsland is most worried about.

, these young people who have high self-esteem have not experienced the training of war, and they do not know that the Bern tribe is only a second-rate tribe in the entire continent. It is a big joke to fight against the powerful Falcon Dynasty in the continent.

Seeing all the clan leaders leaving, Burnsland turned to the people next to him and said, "Inform the whole clan and we will leave immediately!"

A hasty escape may be looked down upon by many tribesmen, and may even be ridiculed by other leaders. But Burnsland didn't care. He was used to the world. He believed in keeping the green hills and was not afraid of running out of firewood. In front of the huge Falcon Dynasty army, the Burns clan was already in disarray. Instead of waiting until they were defeated and destroyed, One day, it’s better to find another way out! "

As the Vedic tribe fully crossed the border, Caesar Sauron's Eberron regiment in front of the Burn tribe also began to tighten the battle line, tightening the pockets of Bo Slai, and the pace of the Bern tribe's march south was also accelerating. , a long-anticipated war started in a village called Charente.

It was a sunny morning, and the early winter sun shone warmly on people. Caesar Sauron looked at the white clouds in the sky fluttering. Under the influence of the early winter chill, the mountain flowers in nature had withered. On November 1, Under the moonlight clouds and mist, the damp woods were silent. The wind blew, making a whistling sound, as if crying quietly,

Deep in the woods, a lone woodpecker stood on a bare branch, calling gently and timidly. It also felt that winter was coming. After the heavy snow closed the mountains, this place would turn into a silvery white world, with mist like light sand. Inside, the ringing of the sheep’s bells could be heard in the distance, whimpering, as if coming from the depths of their hearts. . . .

"These days are so leisurely!" Caesar Zoro stretched his waist and saw a lot of blood and war. I can't remember how long it has been since I last saw such peaceful days. He was waiting for work, luring snakes out of the cave, and the fat man left behind when he left. Let Caesar Sauron see clearly the eight words of Given the situation in front of them, it is impossible to attack by force. It is better to leave an obvious gap. As long as the Vedic tribe's attack is launched, the Bern tribe, which finds itself in a situation where they are attacked from both sides, will definitely choose to take the risk and go south. At that time, as long as they calmly Just wait at the gap,

"Bang bang." Adjutant Sindi Kalu knocked on the door behind him and walked in hurriedly, "Sir, this is the news from the Antuo Mountain sentry tower this morning. The Bourne army stationed in Boslay The frequent mobilizations should be a sign that the Vedic people are anxious about their offensive and are about to move south in a big way! "

"Oh, finally moving!" Caesar Sauron grinned. In the battle south, his Eberron Legion did not participate in the battle. It was a great regret. Now he has finally waited for a battle worthy of boasting. ,

On November 25, no one realized that a huge trap had appeared that would almost lead to the annihilation of the entire Bern army. At first, the Bern army, who was familiar with the terrain, wanted to bypass the Falcon Army's defense line, but the scouts who were in charge of moving forward reported that the same continuous defensive arrow towers appeared on both sides. The Falcon Army was heavily guarded and found them. No time to leave.

Such a report made Bernton Su, who was leading the army, feel a little happy. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. To deploy such a large and deep defense line requires a huge amount of troops. It should be enough to consume the limited strength of the Falcon Army. No matter how good the Falcon Army is in fighting, they will never think that the suppressed and immobile Bourne tribe will take the initiative to attack. As long as they concentrate their strength and attack with all their strength, it is entirely possible to defeat them from this. Fight your way out of the siege

Unfortunately, he didn't know that his every move had long been under the surveillance of the Falcon Army. At the top of every hilltop they passed, a tree with special significance was knocked down.

The sentinels on the top of the mountain who were responsible for observation continued to report new situations to the main force of the legion that was about to set off, connecting all the dots. The route of the Bern tribe going south clearly appeared on Caesar Sauron's map.

"Order, Afenket's squadron, start executing the plan!" Caesar Sauron stood up from the rock where he was resting and handed the map in his hand to the adjutant next to him. Behind him, the main force of the 15,000-strong legion was standing. Quietly lying in ambush to the east of Charente, like two huge iron pincers, cutting the Bern tribe's only path southward in two from the east and west sides

"Speed ​​up, we must pass Charente at noon today." Ten miles away from Charente, Bondonsu shouted while waving his riding crop. Under his leadership, the 20,000 troops heading south were also heading towards Charente. This gap moves quickly,

"Attack" At noon, the battle began in Charente. Under the sunshine, the spearmen of the Bourne tribe rushed towards Charente, the way out in their eyes, with overwhelming momentum.

For the sake of defense, the third squadron, which served as a bait, built a row of earth walls about three meters high on the slope east of Charente. The five hundred Vecchia crossbowmen hiding on it squatted outwards. shooting,

As the sound of bow strings sounded as fast as a rainstorm, black arrow clusters were like locusts rising from the horizon, drawing a black cloud-like arc in the air and shooting into the ranks of the Bernese spearmen.

"Ah!" The Dorok spearman wearing light armor and holding a shield in his hand immediately lay down. The falling arrows were like a violent storm. It was hard to imagine that any creature could survive such a blow. The corpses on the first floor were A small hill was piled up a hundred meters away, and blood gurgled into a nearby pit, dyeing the muddy area of ​​a spacious swamp several hundred meters in front of the wall red.

"There are not many of them! Take down the earth wall with all your strength!" Realizing that he was facing only one squadron of enemies, Burntonsu excitedly took the lead, not caring about the arrows whizzing down from his side, leading hundreds of people behind him. The Dorok Lancers charged towards the earth wall.

Under his encouragement, the Bernese people followed like a swarm of locusts, and crossbow arrows from the opposite side kept shooting them to the ground. However, the number was too small after all, and it was difficult to form enough for an attacking army of tens of thousands of people. of lethality

"kill!"

After costing more than a thousand lives, the dense flow of people quickly collapsed the outer wooden fence and screamed wildly as they climbed up the low city wall. Because the earthen wall was only less than three people high, some impatient Burne tribesmen did not even need to build a siege ladder. They climbed on the shoulders of their companions and jumped suddenly, and they could grab the edge of the battlement with their hands. Climb upward with force.

"Kill!" The falcon troops on the earth wall also shouted without showing any signs of weakness. They raised their swords and chopped them down. Then there was a scream. The Bern soldiers fell down in severe pain, leaving traces on the battlements. Half of the palm or several fingers are moving.

"Attack!" Behind the infantry charge, 2,000 Bowen archers fired arrows. The arrows fell like raindrops on the earthen wall. Soldiers on both sides fell down in the rain of arrows.

Burns-Sutton tried to rely on his strong force to suppress the earth wall defenders with bows and arrows, clearing the way for his own infantry to advance. However, he found that he seemed to have suffered more casualties, and quickly stopped the archery team with a roar: "Stop shooting! All bows and arrows, No shooting!"

At this moment, a huge black cloud covered the sky, and countless sharp and piercing sounds came like waves. The world was filled with terrible shocking waves. The boulders and arrows as dense as raindrops once again fiercely bombarded the sea of ​​people outside the earth wall.

It was like waves hitting the hard rock wall, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red. The sound of "puff puff puff" of sharp weapons piercing into the body and bones breaking came one after another in the raindrops. This was the surging waves of flesh and blood and screams in the killing.

"My Lord, hurry up, we are ambushed!"

A embarrassed tribal guard threw Berntonsu, who was too far ahead, off his horse at the critical moment, allowing Berntonsu to escape from the dense rain of arrows, but he himself was shot into a hedgehog.

Under Berntonsu's pale eyes, on the left side of the Bern army, teams of falcon troops gradually emerged from behind the mountains. The large number of arrows that attacked covered the sky like a large black cloud. The sky should have color. The dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops, and metal waterfalls fell from the sky!

The powerful crossbow steel arrows made the Bern army near the earth wall look like being punched by an invisible giant.

The whole row of soldiers was hit by this storm and suddenly flew back several meters, or even more than ten meters.

The bodies wearing light infantry chain mail twisted into unnatural postures in mid-air, turning over and being shot into hedgehogs full of arrows.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

It took Berntonsu less than fifteen minutes from the moment he realized the trap to the moment he made the decision to withdraw, but Caesar Sauron, who had already been caught in the act, reacted even faster

With an order, 2,000 lightly armed scout cavalrymen formed a sharp assault blade and penetrated deeply into the back of the Bern tribe as they fled in panic.

Heads rolled, and corpses were knocked flying by the galloping horses,
