Realm of Power

858 March into Luode (7)

At the highest point of Dillens' outer defense line, Central Army General Hu Keqili silently looked at the battlefield below through the navy's lookout glass. Night has gradually fallen, and darkness is quickly devouring everything on the earth.

However, the brutal battles of the past dozen days will not fade away in people's minds, because they were real fierce battles. At the most tense moment of the battle, Hu Keqili personally led the guards to the city wall, and the guards directly under the Dillens family were also hurriedly pulled onto the battlefield.

The seemingly advantageous situation was due to the huge disparity in military strength. Although the Nord army was detached to contain the Southern Army in Zhivacheze, the number of Nords faced by Dylans alone still exceeded 100,000. However, Dillens could only muster 11,000 family troops, 10,000 Guardsmen who had withdrawn from Tiha, and 15,000 second-line troops. Their combined combat strength was only 40,000.

Facing the fierce attack of more than 100,000 enemies, the Dylans family was also in panic. Some people blamed Dylans Kelly for not having an alliance with the Falcon Dynasty, which led to such a disaster.

There are also people who accuse the Falcon Dynasty of ignoring morality and diverting the main force of the Nord army to the east.

But fortunately, Dylans Kelly, the patriarch of the Dylans family, has a very firm stance. In fact, he has to be firm. His son is a senior officer of the Falcon Dynasty, and his daughter is the princess of the Falcon of Vecia.

At this moment, the interests of the Dylans family have long been tied to the Falcon Dynasty. Dylans Kelly declared at the family meeting on the spot that the Dylans would always be a vassal of the Falcon Dynasty. In order to maintain It was the glory of the master's family that all the members of the family, men, women, old and young, participated in the war and assembled a family army of 11,000 people in a matter of seconds. This could be regarded as a solution to Hu Keqi's shortcoming of having no tactics but an extreme lack of troops.

After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the Falcon Army still suffered certain losses. Especially those officers and soldiers who bravely accepted the task of guarding the first line of defense. They were almost wiped out by the suicidal attack of the Nords. Especially those who withstood the first overwhelming attack of the Nords. All fifty crossbowmen in the team were killed, and they never took a step back until they died.

As time goes by, the losses of the Falcon Army are also increasing. The 10,000 Guards Cavalry under Hu Keqili are now used as infantry.

These most elite soldiers faced the First Legion, known as the Nord's First Guards. They fought fiercely for several days. Although the pride of the Nords was severely damaged, they also lost more than 3,000 people, and Dylan The Si family's guards, due to their relatively poor combat effectiveness, could only be placed at the back as a reserve force. Only the 15,000 Tiha army led by Dylan Schise was the one with the least losses.

It's not that the Nords favor one thing over another, but that Dylan Schise's ability to command catapults is so good. With thousands of catapults of different sizes unloaded from his family's fleet, and the area to be defended is steep. On the hillside, this guy personally commanded the trebuchet. Countless catapults kept the Nord army down for several days without even touching the edge of the defense line. They lost more than 3,000 people for nothing.

Seeing that the Nord attacks had stopped today, Hu Keqili sent someone to find Dylan Schise. Soon he saw Dylan Schise coming from the opposite side with an excited face. Hu Ke Qili knew that this guy today I must have gained a lot again, so I walked over quickly

"Brother, you have to help me this time!"

Hu Keqili pulled him enthusiastically. He and Dylan Schise were both from the south of Vecia. The two had a good relationship, and now they are the chief and deputy in the joint fight against the Nords, although he is the one in charge. , but Hu Keqili knew very well that this was fighting on the land of the Dylans family, and the Dylans were the real masters. Just a casual word, and they could get thousands of trebuchets from the family. Then you know who is truly blessed

"Sir, what are you doing?" Hu Keqili's enthusiasm still made Dylan Schise stunned for a moment. Hu Keqili always had a more rigorous attitude. He was known as the warrior with Falcon Claws and rarely did it. To say such soft words

"I want to change the defense zone with you." Hu Keqili blinked his eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Look, you still have 15,000 people, but I only have more than 7,000 people, and there are almost no Thor cannons on the top of the mountain. We are exhausted and have lost the pressure of the Thunder God. If we continue to fight like this, in a few days, I will be the only one left alone. You won’t see the entire Guards being destroyed like this!”

"Sir, my army is a miscellaneous army. It is incomparable to your Guards!" Dylan Schise said with a dumbfounded look. "The gap between the regular army and the miscellaneous army is there. In terms of morale and combat effectiveness, they are very different." Big difference, not to mention that most of my troops are light infantry. It's okay to rely on the terrain to take advantage of the Nords, but if there is a head-on collision and an impact from the Nords, my miscellaneous troops may collapse."

"Then I can only let the guards of the Dillens family come in!" Hu Keqili looked at this slippery guy and said angrily, "Don't forget, I'm only here for your sake. The Dillens family's guards were not used. They were all Dillens people there. If they were really dragged to the front line, You also know that the Nords charge like crazy every day, and if they really want to rush to the city wall, it will be difficult to fight hand-to-hand... No, sir, the family guard is not as good as my second-line troops!" Dylans! Qisei suddenly panicked when he heard that Hu Keqili wanted the family guards to take the most brutal front line.

The so-called family guards, except for the 5,000 troops formed by Dillens, are all vassal nobles of the Dillens family, private guards, hired farmers, etc. If these people get to the front line, they will be defeated without fighting. , when the time comes, you will inevitably be punished by military orders. Military orders are ruthless, and escaping from battle is a capital crime.

"Report, I received a military order from His Majesty." Just when Dirensiqi's face was full of unwillingness, a guard sent Hu Keqili a military order,

"Your Majesty's military order?" Hu Keqili's face was stunned for a moment. Since Dylans was besieged, it has been isolated from the outside world for more than ten days. He opened the military order sealed with red wax and

Hu Keqili looked at it and suddenly smiled, "The Nords are unlucky this time. Your Majesty has landed in southern Nord and occupied the Nordic town of Gorath... It's true. That's great!" "Dylanskis also had a look of joy. As a former maritime Dylans, of course he knew the significance of Gorath to the Nord army's attack. It was a logistics center.

"Also, His Majesty also said that he has sent me 4532 reinforcements who can defeat the Nord army of 100,000 people?" Hu Keqili's smile froze, 4532 reinforcements? How much of a change does this make to the current situation?
