2171 A tooth for a tooth (4)
Under the fortress of Helena, tens of thousands of Fessan's troops swarmed like ants, and the fierce blows from the fortress city also swept like a storm on the shock front of the Pastanon army
The bow and crossbow were all over the sky, and the imperial heavy crossbow arrows with diamond-shaped blood grooves as thick as an arm in the front section pierced fiercely, setting off a bloody scene on the attack line, letting the private army of the Pastanon Legion know what it means to kill the sharp weapon against the cluster charge, countless white lights flew from the city, and the soldiers of the Fesan Army didn't even see what it was, they were cut off head-on, and the blood stained into the sky spewed out like raindrops, and the sound of the heavy crossbow shattering the shield stabbed everyone's eardrums one after another, "Ah" The screams of pain, the flesh and blood flying on the front line hit by the heavy ballista, the half-scale armor of the Pastanon legion, could not reach the heavy crossbow pass through at all, and the attack line that was as dense as a tide was opened a long path of flesh and blood more than ten meters long,
"Bang Bang Bang"
The powerful crossbow arrows often pierced through the body of the first person, and it had to pierce through two or three human bodies before it tended to plunge headlong into the ground, and the viscous human blood flowed down the fine iron arrow shaft, and soon formed a pool of blood mixed with the minced meat, and the stumps torn apart by the heavy arrows were scattered around like a broken toy, and the scene made the Feishan soldiers who saw it nearby feel cold from their hearts,
Commander Pastanon's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, the loss was a trivial matter, what he valued was the sharpness of the entire legion that was inspired, this time, he was going to grab the opponent's defense in one go, and he was ready to fill Helena even with twice the loss, if even Helena's city walls were shaken by the morale of being beaten before he could touch it, then what was the ambition to take Helena in one go, and take the first battle of the most critical battle between the Falcon Empire and Fesan into his arms, he looked solemn and ordered the captain of the cavalry who had been waiting behind him"Order all the generals, in this battle, take out the strength of death, no matter who takes Helena. This battle is his first merit, along with all the trophies, as well as the exploits of the lone army of the Falcon Empire under Nuren!" "Is it all the trophies and merits?" The captain of the cavalry who heard the order hesitated, and couldn't help but ask again, "Didn't you hear the order! That's right, it's all the loot and merit, go quickly" Pastanon's face was pale, and he waved his horsewhip angrily, of course he knew the hesitation of the herald cavalry, the rule of the pasta farmer's private regiment was that half of the spoils of war should be surrendered, and this rule had been the case since the day the private regiment was formed.
In the history of the legion's operations, only forty years ago was broken, and the situation was similar to the present, except that it was the Iraqi army that broke through the direction of Nuren, and the kingdom of Fessan gathered all its strength to devote itself to the Eastern Front and lost the battle, and the only Pasta furniture regiment with complete combat strength was the main force of the kingdom, and in the case of being surrounded by the Istanbul regiment, the old head of the Pasta family said similar things to the thousand family elites who were responsible for breaking through in front of the soldiers of the whole army. In that battle, 31,000 of the private regiments who participated in the battle were killed and 23,000 were killed, and that battle was a disaster for the entire Pasta family. It's an unforgettable tragedy,
The 1,000 family elites who were responsible for breaking through the encirclement of the entire legion did not survive, and four-fifths of the family's children and officers were killed in the battle, which was the most tragic loss of the Pasta Furniture Regiment. The great battle of forty years ago was unforgettable for the entire Pasta family, and many of the officers here had their fathers killed in that war. Almost the entire Pasta family was buried in it, and a powerful and large family was turned into a gathering house for orphans and widows overnight
In order to get out of the impact of that war, the Pasta family spent a full generation, and the result of that war was that Fessan's humiliating marriage with the Istan Empire and ceded a large area ended, and ten years later, Fesan united with the countries of Gangfei and Central Europe and Barrow, and suddenly launched a revenge on the Istan Empire, The only private regiment with a regular military rank, "Is it all the spoils and merits?" The eyes of the generals who ordered it lit up, now is not the decisive battle of forty years ago, and the current situation is obviously in favor of their side, then the meaning of this order is enough to make all the generals feel the adrenal secretion accelerated,
"Above, all the troops are pressed up, retreat and kill on the spot!" The generals of the Pasta family frantically released their teams in a swarm, countless flags undulating and falling under the fortress, mountains and seas, the wind blowing the military flags hunting overhead, the earth was like chess, the walls of the city shook by the sound of fighting were also shaking, and the legions suddenly burst out with a fierce spirit
"Advance, the enemy is about to collapse!" Officer Fesan was also loudly agitating the blood of the soldiers, and the dense human heads crowded the plain in front of the fortress, like a kind of hypnosis, so many troops, in the face of a small fortress, some people thought that it would fail, and the blood of the soldiers was stimulated to boil like boiling water, as if it was injected with chicken blood, and the large army that was pushed forward was wrapped in rapid and rapid forward,
The first team of soldiers who arrived at the city wall began to throw hooks, the rudimentary siege ladder leaned against the city wall, Helena Fortress is worthy of being a barrier that Fei Sand spent countless efforts to build, each stone that constitutes the fortress meets the hard conditions of three meters long and half a meter wide, and the solid three-dimensional city wall with a thickness of five meters is enough to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of any heavy siege equipment, even if it is the Imperial Army Thor with siege weapons, it is necessary to hit a thick wall with more than ten rounds in a row to shake, the light and cold are swaying, reflecting Helena's strong city wall, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides splashed on the city wall and splashed in all directions, adding ten times the blood!, "Stand back!"
At this time, it has long been blurred by flesh and blood, and Thanlishus, who was already the captain of the Governor's Guard, now appears as the head of the Sixth Banner of the Imperial Guard, standing on the fortress of Helena, the imperial bed crossbow is pulled away from the battlements, the imperial crossbowman began to lean against the wall composed of shields, and the crossbow arrows in his hands are shot downward, layer after layer of corpses are piled up into small hills, blood and water gurgle down the cracks in the ground, and when you step on it, you can feel the sliminess of human blood, the injured are pressed in the pile of corpses and scream for help, no one has time to pay attention, and the Fei San soldiers in the back rushed forward regardless of the rain of arrows shot down densely above their heads,
Detachments of the Pastanon regiment filled in, and the wounded and dead were also carried down. Dozens of improvised siege ladders, less than ten are still intact, most of the soldiers are clinging to rope hooks, pounced on them with red eyes, more than a dozen Fesan banners fluttered and rolled under the reflection of the flames in all directions, almost inserted on the corpse pile below, and saw the firing sound of the imperial heavy crossbow bouncing on the city wall, and the armor on the heavy infantry of the crowded gap seemed to be as light as tofu, and fell from the battlements with a scream, no one counted how many people died, and the Pastanon regiment desperately filled it with people, and wanted to use the absolute superiority in strength to win this most critical battle,
Relying on the powerful counterattack launched by the fortress, the Imperial Army also disabled the seventeen squadrons of the Fissan Army in just one hour, and more than 5,000 corpses were stacked under the fortress at a height of five or six meters, and the heavy spears began to collide together, making a sound of metal grinding that tore the eardrums, and the shields slammed together, pressing on one side after another,
"Ascend the city!" suddenly erupted from the bottom of the fortress with a sea of cheers from the battle, only to see a group of Fessan heavy infantry overflowing the battlements, and now the slope of the city wall has been densely crawled with people, like a huge sugar cube covered by ants, but a qiē also stopped here "Boom" The deafening sound pierced everyone's eardrums, and a fierce fire exploded on the upper section of the city wall, "What's the matter?" The generals of the Pasta family opened their mouths wide, "What's the situation" The Faisan soldiers below were stunned to see more than a dozen soldiers clinging to a section of the city wall being ignited by the red firelight, and then the flames were like a golden flame waterfall, spreading down from the city wall and spreading to all sides, like countless golden spirals rolled into the Feishan soldiers on the slope of the city wall.
Thundered! The huge explosion was thirty meters away from the front of the city wall, like a volcano rushing out of the ground, and the people standing on it were thrown into the air at once, and then scattered like a goddess scattering flowers, the flames were spreading on the slope of the city wall, and there was no place to dodge, many Fei Shan's soldiers could only choose to jump down, fortunately, there were enough corpses piled up below, and they did not fall to death, but the wall of fire that spread all the way down the city wall soon burned even under the city wall, and the attacking troops below had already collapsed when the explosion occurred, and the arrows from the overhead poured wildly, and the soldiers who turned around and fled were shot over in pieces"It's the Imperial Fuel Bomb!"
Pastanon's smug smile froze suddenly, a large area of red fire reflected the city, the advantage that had been achieved at the cost of thousands of people was torn apart in an instant, and the soldiers outside this strike area were completely stunned by the scene in front of them, the scorching heat wave carried the smell of blood, and the broken limbs of the broken corpses burned in the flames, "Bastard!" The knuckles of the fingers of Pastanon's grip on the horsewhip turned pale because of excessive force,
He didn't expect that the imperial army would be painted with fuel on the slope of the city wall, and there were fuel bombs buried under the city wall, so it was no wonder that the other party had no fear and even Thor was not arranged, the attack of the entire army was completely chaotic, the soldiers were running, and the officers were at a loss,
"Attention, there's a situation in the back!" came the adjutant's panicked shout,
"Back?" Pastanon's face changed greatly, and he turned his head in disbelief, the two armies have been fighting so far, the soldiers who have not been able to attack for a long time are already demoralized and exhausted, the other party is attacking at this moment, it is undoubtedly a blow to the door, this is the terrain of the plain, for this army is simply a fish pressed on the chopping board, sure enough, in the white light formed by the plain in the distance, I saw countless flags like ghosts, and layers of black cavalry clusters were like butcher knives raised high, as if divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the horse's hooves rumbled, swooping from behind like an avalanche, (To be continued......)
