1677 The Road to War III
"Woo-woo-"
The sky is vast, the winter sun has almost no temperature, but the vigorous north wind seems to be more in line with the scene in front of you, the ground of Lisbento that has just snowed, a snow white, but at this moment under the city of Lisbonto, it is filled with countless figures,
"Assemble, take Lisbonto!"
The desolate battle horn is fierce in the wind, like the wind of eternal years blowing through the gap between the two armies,
The smell of blood spreads, as if to herald the brutal war from the day it was born, it is a monster that devours human flesh and blood, a full thirty-eight inhuman squadron flags, crackling in the bursting morning breeze, and a dense line of inhuman infantry, lined up in an area 500 meters in front of Lisbonto
Mixed queues of foot riders are still driving out of the foothills outside the city
The sound of rumbling hooves and footsteps resounded across the land, the cavalry lifted a yellow dust mist, and the blue Congolese army, the flying Gangfei Crusader banners, were like a huge wave, gathering in front of the thin black walls of Lisbonto, ready to submerge the half-ruined city at any moment.
"Legion Chief, I think the Putau people must be frightened, just in time to attack directly!" Twenty-seven-year-old Gang Fei Seventh Infantry Regiment Commander Akadler rode on his horse, looked at the Putao defenders running back and forth on the Lisbonto city wall in the distance, and said with some impatience, he called Remshat the commander of the legion, after the special approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, in order to deal with the rebellion of the Putau, the Ministry of Military Affairs authorized the Remschatt to gather the rebel army temporarily organized as the Gang Fei Tenth Crusade Corps,
The commander of the corps was the high affairs officer of the Ministry of War, Remshart, and was mainly composed of the original 11,000 garrisons of Putao and a 30,000-strong local infantry regiment reinforced from the country, with a total strength of 40,000 troops, while according to intelligence, the Putao rebels in the city were less than 20,000.
Remsciat waved his whip leisurely and lightly, staring at the walls of Lisbonto in the distance. With a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, at the position of Remchatt's main formation, a super-large red Iron Cross flag with a width of five meters stood out in a particularly dazzling manner.
With this military flag as the center, the huge array of 40,000 Gangfei troops scattered on both sides is like a series of metal swords, ready to attack, ready to attack the Lisbonto city wall in front. In an instant, it was full of holes.
"The two-to-one military comparison is really a battle without suspense!"
Remsit pursed his lips slightly, and a terrifying chill flashed in his pale blue eyes. Although the legion had just made a long journey, it should be enough to deal with such a miscellaneous army! The Putao defenders above were obviously frightened by such a majestic army, and the defenders of the city were running back and forth like ants on it
The scattered queues, the chaotic erection of guns at the position of the city wall, the chaotic garrison equipment was pushed up, and several nondescript old-fashioned military flags fluttered in the sun. The idiot Duke Putao has been supervised by himself for six years, and he is so embarrassed that he almost wants to sell the last pair of underwear, and it is already very good to be able to pull out the batch in front of him for such a high-cost matter as quickly recruiting rebels.
"Your Excellency, Commander, rest assured. In less than half a day, we will be able to enter the city and kill all these Putao!" said the infantry commander Akadler with a respectful expression as he raised his horsewhip in his hand with a respectful expression
"Then don't waste time!" Remchatt said with a smile on his lips, raising his whip. Loud commands "First, fifth, seventh." Eleventh ...... Heavy infantry out of the ranks!Target, Lisbonto!"
As the order was given, a herald cavalryman with a blue-red flag on his back. Like a cluster of arrows out of the string, with the wind bursting from the battlefield, it galloped in front of the military formation that was just inhuman, and several whole teams of rigid and non-heavy infantry who were called by name stepped forward from the military formation in full steps, shouting "Heavy infantry out of the ranks!"
Dusty, like a long metal wall that suddenly rises,
These Gangfei heavy infantry wore the special scale heavy armor of the Gangfei army, and their main weapons were heavy spears and melee axes, and on the outside of their right arm was a shield made of fine iron, which was huge enough to completely cover people, so they walked around like an iron wall
He wore a pointed helmet with two sideburns on his head, and his entire face was covered by metal visor, except for the eyes, where there was a cross-shaped crack that could be seen outside, and on the outer white cloth of the armor was a large cross painted in red
Blood Cross!
This is the symbol of the Holy Obaro Empire, which has always regarded itself as a descendant of the original great empire, so it has also followed this symbol, but for the enemies of Gangfei, the meaning of the blood cross is obviously more profound.
This represents the red blood cross of slaughter, looting, and destruction, which made the Duke of Putao standing on the city wall tremble slightly, his eyes were nervously bloodshot, and his hands pinched the battlements heavily.
When the Lamian Legion broke through Lisbento, it was also this red blood cross heavy infantry that was also sent to take the lead, for the terrible of this kind of heavy infantry, the Duke of Putao still remembers it vividly, the army of the Duchy of Putao was harvested like a piece of wheat in front of these professional butchers, and the arrows were shot at the bodies of these butchers, with almost no effect, and the general light weapons at most pierced the first layer of scales outside, and then they would be blocked by the second layer of barrel armor, many Putao soldiers were killed in this way, and only 5,000 blood cross heavy infantry easily crushed their 15,000 defenders,
Putao's resistance to Gangfei fell in less than a week, and the Gangfei army that attacked the city carried out a brutal ransack of the entire Duchy capital, and the entire capital was ransacked, and 36,000 Spentos were killed because of this looting!
"Forward, kill all the living creatures you can see in front of you!" the captains of the heavy infantry shouted loudly, and at a distance of 200 meters from the city wall, these blue-cloaked infantry captains neatly drew their commander's stabbing swords, and the soldiers followed closely behind, with a rainbow of momentum, and under all kinds of encouragement, the soldiers' eyes began to change from pleasant to feverish and bloodthirsty luster
Eight squadrons of rigid and non-heavy infantry marched in unison, battle flags waved, a roaring thunder, and the infantry phalanx formed an offensive echelon. It was like a torrent of steel began to roll forward, the head of the formation flashed with the metal light of iron shields and spears, and the momentum of the attack was like a tsunami, like an avalanche that could not be stopped.
The blue armor was like a huge wave, wrapped in a whole row of sharp infantry spears, flashing in the morning sun, and swooping down on the walls of Lisbonto with overwhelming momentum.
"Oh my God, let's run, I said it a long time ago. We can't resist the inhumans! We still have the island chain, it's safe there!"
The king of Raphael, who was standing next to the Duke of Putao, was frightened by the scene below, crying and screaming miserably, just as the non-human was still 300 meters away, he had already begun to retreat, 250 meters, this guy's two legs trembled like twisted flowers, 200 meters, if it wasn't for the half-guarded state of the guards behind him. This attribute ostrich guy is going to roll down the city wall even if he rolls, it's too dangerous here!
Compared with him, the Duke of Putao's appearance is very remarkable, although his face is also pale. Although his legs were also trembling, the duke, who was scared by the war again, at least did not run this time, and he tried to hold on to the battlements. He let go of his bruise-purple lips that had been bitten by his teeth and breathed in the air as hard as he could, as if this would make him strong. Finally, he finally stood up straight, and in a kind of indignation, shouted towards the cold light of the spear forest that was moving in the distance
"Come on, Gangfei bastard, this time, I won't run again!" "Who is the Falcon Majesty handed over to me!!" The commander in charge of Lidarchus glanced at Duke Putao, who had not completely relieved himself, with some tears and laughter.
Although he is from a civilian background, he has never seen anything after the ass of the Falcon of Vekia, and only 40,000 people can be scared like this?
"Not to mention the battle of Rwanaka, Lao Tzu faced the peerless elegance of the 100,000 people of the Southwest Army alone!" Lidarchus said in his heart, "Now, let you see the power of the King of the Iron Wall of the Falcon Empire!"
"Crossbowman prepares, target, one hundred and fifty meter line!" Lidakus's expression was calm, the guy from the weapon smuggling family who already regarded himself as a famous general, began to give orders without hurry, and the gang Fei people below had already entered the one hundred and fifty meter attack line, according to Lidakus's experience of following the fat man for many years, he knew that if it was the Falcon Majesty standing here at the moment, he would definitely give the other party a dismount!
With the order, the six thousand soldiers of the Imperial Central Army who were originally ambushed in the city road came out of the city road bending down, and carefully crouched down behind the battlements, holding the powerful infantry crossbow in their hands, and their eyes moved with the slowly coming line of Gangfei.
"It's ......"
Duke Putao was completely stupid, he knew about this ambush, but he didn't expect that this was one hundred and fifty meters! According to the general range of bows and arrows, isn't it a hundred meters before the attack begins?
The other Putao soldiers were also completely stunned, although most of them were new recruits, they could still feel that the terrifying murderous aura on the bodies of these central troops from the so-called Falcon Empire was like cold ice, which seemed to freeze the air around them.
Every shooter is like a statue, no one speaks,
This is a real shooter!
Inside the Putao people, the hearts of some well-informed mercenaries are trembling, the hands of these soldiers with strange bows and arrows are like iron casting, without the slightest fluctuation, and their eyes are sharp like an invisible knife, which is a level that can only be achieved by skilled shooters who surpass ordinary shooters, shooters are always the most difficult to cultivate, a good shooter can easily strangle the most brave enemy warriors at a distance, so even among mercenaries, a skilled shooter is also a captain-level figure,
And with so many captain-level shooters popping up at once, the mercenaries were completely stupid
At the moment, they looked down at the eyes of the Gangfei army holding a shield, and they still didn't know anything about the high and high singing of the Gangfei war song, just like looking at a group of prey that stepped into the trap with half a foot, full of sadness and pity, although Gangfei people have a shield in their hands, but the shield can play a role too low under the accurate killing of skilled shooters, not to mention the distance of walking hundreds of meters in front, which has made Gangfeiren's original shield wall, because of the high and low terrain, has begun to disperse, these loopholes are simply fatal missing,
For shooters. One mistake is enough,
These Putao people didn't know that standing in front of them was the elite of the empire that had swept across a continent.
In the daily training of each Imperial Central Army, there is a 2-hour training of crossbows and hanging stones, crossbows are the main attack weapons of the Falcon Empire, and not every soldier of these Central Army may be excellent shooting crossbowmen, but when the crossbow in his hand is raised as a whole, it can definitely form a shocking kill
At this moment, there was silence on the entire city wall. Quiet can even hear the sound of the wind rolling up the dust on the ground, everyone's hearts are screwed together, the breath of Xiao killing, so that the far opposite Remchatt unexpectedly gave birth to a strange feeling, he raised his head, a little surprised, I don't know why, he suddenly realized that the defenders of the Lisbonto city wall were still in chaos just now. At this moment, there was an unexpected pause, and that bad feeling was like a string that was suddenly tense to the extreme, and it seemed that it was about to break suddenly!
"What's going on. Is it a delusion?"
Remchat's excellent and stable personality prevailed, and the surprise brought by his sixth sense only made his eyebrows frown slightly
"Forward, attack!"
Cheers from the front were heard from the heavy infantry. Victory was in sight, the line of attack was pushed one hundred and fifty meters, and the trebuchet, which was still a little afraid, was unexpectedly not launched. What are you waiting for! The non-heavy infantry began to get excited, and the ground clattered as they stepped on it with their accelerated pace
"Shoot!"
At this moment, a sound like a torrential rain hitting the floor, like a vase that suddenly bursts, sounded from the direction of Lisbonto, a black flash, like a black locust swarm, suddenly tilted down from the city wall of Lisbento, overwhelming, like all the stars in the sky falling to the ground,
"How is that possible!" Remchatt's eyes almost burst out when he watched this scene from behind, when! There were so many archers on the city wall! In his pupils, white light feathers, constantly drew brilliant brilliance in the air, and layers of arrows, like waterfalls, were blocked in front of the shield array of his heavy infantry, and the feeling was like a sudden rainstorm, and it fell gorgeously on the marbled windowsill, producing a breathtaking and beautiful spectacle
It's just that in this spectacle, it represents the death of its own soldiers, and it is a terrible killing and bloodshed that makes people's hearts tremble.
Countless blood splattered, the soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell in pieces, and even the tightest shield wall, before such a terrible mercury-like fierce attack, covered the densest sections, and the non-heavy infantry barely survived, as if a piece had been dug up alive in some area, and several other queues had been cut into several sections,
"Damn, there's an ambush!"
The Gangfei heavy infantry team was in chaos, and they were shocked to find that the heavy infantry armor they relied on the most was actually torn apart under the opponent's arrows, and the sharp whistling sound completely occupied the surrounding space, and the screams of their companions were all around, in a chaotic chaos of people turning over on their backs
"Quick, Ge Dun!"
In the face of the rain of arrows that almost blocked the sun, the very professional Qi Qi of the non-heavy infantry let out an exhilarating shout, and countless shields were erected like a wave of turning, boom, and the arrow cluster shot on the stainless steel shield, and was covered by the heavy bounce of the arrow cluster like a waterfall.
"Arrow Car! Shoot with all your might"
Lidarchus, the guy who likes to figure out the fat slut's practices the most, does not give the gang Fei a chance to breathe at the moment, the other party sends out the heavy infantry so intensively, in his eyes it is a fragrant meal, it is really a good thing to save time and effort, if you miss it, you will be damned, after a few salvos of crossbows, he did not hesitate to use the most terrible weapon against the cluster troops, although the loading of the arrow cart is very time-consuming and laborious, and it takes ten minutes to fire at a time,
But Lidarchus's decisive judgment gave the gang non-heavy infantry a catastrophe
The trebuchets on both sides of the city wall, 30 loaded arrow carts, angrily fired the largest salvo in history, the military industrial killing masterpiece from the Falcon Empire, appeared in the sky of another continent for the first time, countless cold lights, like the sky suddenly full of silver points of light, swooped down from both sides of the void of the defense of the non-heavy infantry!
The heavy infantry was completely unable to raise their heads, the scattered queues made countless holes in their makeshift shield walls, and the falcon crossbowmen above fired at the Gangfei people below one by one, and the soldiers continued to fall in pain like hedgehogs full of arrows
In order to reduce the chance of being shot in turbulence, the heavy infantry has chosen to half-squat on the ground, gritting their teeth and hiding behind their shields.
Don't say that it is difficult to move forward, even to go backward,
Some tricky clusters of arrows from the city walls, shot with unimaginable precision through gaps that could be shot into,
Bright red blood exploded from behind the shield "Ah, I've been shot!"
"Help me, I don't want to die!"
All kinds of sounds, soon these voices will be interrupted in the rapid sound of breaking the air, the massacre in front of them, making the Gangfei troops behind completely stupid,
No one had ever seen such a dense and terrible rain of arrows, and although they heard the terrible wails ahead, no one had the courage to go up and save people
"Stand back! Order the heavy infantry to retreat immediately!"
The annihilation of the two squadrons in front and the mutilation of the four squadrons made the Remchatt behind completely anxious......, the heavy infantry was his greatest reliance on the siege of the city, if he lost it at once, he could not send light infantry and cavalry to attack the Lisbonto in front of him, which became more terrible than hell in an instant!
